[18:17] <Arron> unop THANKYOU :D
[18:17] <dmsuperman> Is there a command-line way to connect/configure a PPTP VPN connection for Ubuntu? I wnat to connect to work.
[18:17] <Scunizi> limecat: sorry joined the channel late and didn't have access to any of your previous posts..
[18:17] <Arron> smart alicks :d
[18:18] <unop> Arron, not being funny - but that's where you need to look
[18:18] <Arron> I know
[18:18] <Arron> I am
[18:18] <Arron> Im being serious saying thankyou
[18:19] <al3x-admin> Hi all, I have a problem with the KBluetooth4 package. I open konsole, and run it, but it just crashes with signal 11 (SIGSEGV). I'm on Kubuntu 8.10 amd64 + <IP_ADDRESS>-generic + KDE 4.2 beta1
[18:19] <juanez> Arron: you dont install jar files
[18:19] <Arron> Wowa Ubuntu sure aint user friendly
[18:19] <juanez> Arron: not in linux, and not in windows
[18:19] <Arron> I know you dont
[18:19] <macjason0607> hmm..
[18:19] <Jaffarkelshac> Arron: what program are you trying to install?
[18:19] <macjason0607> im getting tired of kubuntu
[18:19] <macjason0607> to many bugs
[18:19] <Arron> It was phex
[18:19] <macjason0607> any one agree ?
[18:19] <juanez> Arron: so why would you want to create a .deb of a jar?
[18:19] <juanez> Arron: there's no point in doing so
[18:20] <Arron> Well the program wont run without the multiple .jar fiels in the folder
[18:20] <juanez> (as there's no point in creating .exe files of java jar files eihter.. :S )
[18:20] <Arron> *files
[18:20] <Scunizi> Arron: for someone weened on linux I suppose Windows would be viewed as no user friendly
[18:20] <Arron> I want it all together like an exe
[18:20] <Scunizi> *not
[18:20] <Arron> Windows not user friendly? thats insane
[18:20] <juanez> Arron: well, that's not how java works. not in linux, and not in windows
[18:21] <juanez> Arron: however, you can create a sh wrapper script
[18:21] <Jaffarkelshac> have you tried wine with phex for windows Arron
[18:21] <Arron> Yess I am aware thankyou I know you can extract jar files then compile them again?
[18:21] <unop> juanez,  that's like saying - there's no point in creating a .deb file for any package .. a .deb gives you the advantage of using the contents as a package that can be maintained by APT
[18:21] <Arron> Wine I havnt although I have heard of it
[18:21] <juanez> Arron: well, most likely they are already compiled. a JAR file is most often a zip archive of compiled java classes
[18:22] <Arron> I have always been with windows you see so Im just trying something different but the majority of programs are not for linux :/
[18:22] <pneves> Hello everyone, I'm having some trouble with clutter gtk. It won't work in a firefox plugin window. The refresh doesn't work. It only shows the first frame and then freezes. Could someone  tell me what I could do to resolve this. The same code works fine in a regular app just not in firefox.
[18:22] <juanez> Arron: there sure are alternatives though ;)
[18:22] <Jaffarkelshac> i use wine with utorrent it works fine, not sure about phex never used it Arron . I am sure there alternatives to the programs you want.
[18:23] <limecat> Arron: i may be wrong, but dont you typically just install java and then doubleclick the jar?
[18:23] <Arron> Like frostwire and all that yeah
[18:23] <Arron> I dont like using them "top" known p2p programs
[18:23] <Scunizi> !p2p | Arron
[18:24] <Scunizi> not to mention Transmission
[18:24] <Arron> I just would like to use my usuall windows application in linux maybe I should give wine a try right? But I dont really want this I want native apps form ubuntu
[18:24] <NoSound321> Hello. I have an issue with Pulseaudio, it's working incorrectly. Is there a way to disable Pulseaudio and work through the default alsa driver?
[18:24] <juanez> Arron: maybe you shoudl stick with windows then?
[18:25] <limecat> Arron: it depends.  If you MUST have windows programs but want linux, wine is fine for many things'
[18:25] <juanez> NoSound321: yes :)
[18:25] <Arron> Yeah but I want to use linux
[18:25] <Arron> well not forever but get knowledge
[18:25] <limecat> but native is generally "better", it works easier, its auto updated, etc, and doesnt break when wine gets bugs'
[18:25] <juanez> Arron: so stop trolling and use Wine or a linux alternative application
[18:25] <NoSound321> juanez yaay, help me plz :)
[18:25] <Arron> how am I trolling??
[18:25] <limecat> juanez: i dont think hes trolling
[18:26] <joshritger> is there a value I can edit in the configuration editor that will speed up the autohiding of a panel
[18:26] <Arron> Hmm thats a Im fed up cant be bothered talking line
[18:26] <juanez> NoSound321: uhm, lemme see what i did
[18:26] <sipior> limecat: regarding your earlier question, you could probably set up your linux WoW install to look at a local directory, and then create a series of symbolic links from this configuration folder to the real installation, mounted on the windows share. the only directory that would not be a symbolic link would be the configuration directory you want.
[18:26] <Jaffarkelshac> Arron its unlikely you will get exactly the software you want with native apps for ubuntu. i even have virtual xp to run some apps (channel 40d and veoh...etc) try wine if does not work you search for more
[18:26] <sipior> limecat: that *should* work...
[18:26] <Arron> mhm yeah okay
[18:26] <ChaosTheory_> Hello. I am wondering, what is the replacement for nm-applet under TTY? How can I use it?
[18:27] <Arron> Im installing wine now I also wanted to try out osx on a pc
[18:27] <limecat> Arron: what program are you trying to run anyways
[18:27] <Arron> Well I guess office will be easy with wine right?
[18:28] <limecat> office MAY work'
[18:28] <Arron> Then phex and just see what will work
[18:28] <Arron> Why is there a chance it wont?
[18:28] <Arron> I thought it emulates windows?
[18:28] <limecat> Arron: i recommend openoffice or another alternative unless you HAVE to use office--theres a chance because wine isnt perfect
[18:28] <Jaffarkelshac> 2007 not soo much, i use openoffice Arron
[18:29] <Arron> Open office yeah but it looks urgrr ugly and untidy and crap
[18:29] <limecat> wine is in development constantly, and generally works well, but some programs dont work
[18:29] <Arron> not very professional
[18:29] <Arron> thats what ubuntu seem to look childish
[18:29] <chfwiggum> anyone got some preferred links to howtos about kerberos krb5, por favor? tia
[18:30] <Arron> oh a quicky aswell how do I find memory cpu usage?
[18:30] <joaopinto> Arron, on the terminal run: top
[18:30] <Jaffarkelshac> if i may ask, why do you want to use ubuntu anyway, you seem so resistant to anything thats not windows. you can use top in terminal or gnome-system-monitor
[18:31] <sysdoc> Arron, System>Administration>System Monitor
[18:31] <Arron> Im not resistant Im just confused really I feel like an idiot I would speak to over the phone trying to fix there pc
[18:31] <juanez> Arron sure is trolling
[18:32] <Arron> ? Why do you keep saying that im new I have no idea am I breaking a rule?
[18:32] <limecat> Arron isnt trolling, quit being a jackass juanez
[18:32] <sysdoc> lol
[18:32] <Arron> you crazy as a wedge!
[18:32]  * sipior goes for popcorn
[18:32] <CaMason> Is anyone able to get some kind of terminal bell working when using ubuntu via virtualbox?
[18:32] <Jaffarkelshac> it just takes time to get used to ubuntu and its apps Arron
[18:32] <juanez> [19:29:14] <Arron> not very professional
[18:32] <juanez> [19:29:30] <Arron> thats what ubuntu seem to look childish
[18:32] <limecat> juanez: your comments dont help.  Hes new from windows and learning the ropes, and youre being hostile
[18:33] <Arron> I agree :)
[18:33] <amortvigil> can i make vmware starting a virtual pc in unity and with the startup in background?
[18:33] <juanez> fine. enjoy the ride
[18:33] <Jaffarkelshac> did wine help with your phex problem
[18:33] <douwei> does anyone know what you have to do to get sound working in ubuntu through virtualbox
[18:33] <Arron> Im going to download it now and figure the setup out Im just looking at system monitor atm
[18:33] <limecat> i dont think alienating people who are giving ubuntu a shot is helpful for the community
[18:34] <sipior> limecat: let it go.
[18:34] <zsquareplusc> douwei: it works for me, when i enable sound for the virtual machine and select pulseaudio as driver
[18:34] <Arron> oh sorry if Im asking to many questions :(
[18:34] <Arron> I tend to do that alot
[18:34] <Jaffarkelshac> thats what this is for
[18:35] <Photoguy> How can I tell if my Ubuntu is the 64 bit version?
[18:35] <douwei> how do you select pulseaudio for the driver?
[18:35] <sysdoc> Asking questions, lol for shame!
[18:35] <zsquareplusc> Photoguy: run uname -a
[18:35] <Photoguy> From terminal?
[18:35] <zsquareplusc> Photoguy: is there a x84_65 or i686? yes in  a terminal
[18:35] <Arron> well then I was using a synth app but the sound wasnt coming through I didnt see any setup options to configure a soundcard yet rythm box runs fine
[18:35] <Iesos> Want to know how to add an existing user to an existing group in a commandline
[18:36] <Iesos> preserving old groups
[18:36] <Photoguy> It says command not found
[18:36] <zsquareplusc> Iesos: adduser user gorup
[18:36] <MBuntu> hi! I'm trying to install ubuntu, but my monitor says "out of range" after switching to X.
[18:36] <Scunizi> douwei: before trying to mess with ubuntu's sound setup make sure that you have virtualbox set to pass sound from a vm to your system.. #vbox is a good channel for vbox support
[18:36] <zsquareplusc> Photoguy: "uname -a"  or "uname -m"?
[18:37] <Photoguy> neither
[18:37] <Photoguy> Work
[18:37] <Photoguy> "bask: command not found:
[18:37] <Photoguy> "
[18:37] <Iesos> zsquareplusc, nope, just gives me the help?
[18:37] <Arron> has this version of ubuntu fixed the issues with the nvidia graphics card
[18:37] <Arron> driver
[18:37] <xat_> does anyone here have an idea of how to create a static /dev setup rather than relying on udev on boot?
[18:37] <zsquareplusc> Photoguy: you have a gnome-terminal open with a user@machine$  prompt?
[18:38] <Photoguy> ues
[18:38] <Arron> I installed it on my laptop but I had graphics card issues and had to manuall command
[18:38] <jimmy__> hi guys, I am trying to set up tv-out. I have ubuntu 8.10. It is working, but not showing th entire screen on the TV, something to do with resolution? Any thoughts? Thanks!
[18:38] <Photoguy> *yes
[18:38] <Arron> yay :) good
[18:38] <Photoguy> Oh, I have sysinfor
[18:38] <Lancelot> what's the best video player for ubuntu? VLC doesn't really work for me...
[18:38] <juanez> Lancelot: mplayer is good
[18:38] <Arron> vlc is the best
[18:38] <Photoguy> it says...i486
[18:38] <ikonia> Lancelot: try some see which work for you
[18:38] <juanez> Lancelot: xbmc is a great app too
[18:38] <Jaffarkelshac> gnome-mplayer Lancelot is my weapon of choice
[18:38] <zsquareplusc> Iesos: it works for me. you need to run the tool with sudo (as root).
[18:38] <cristimarineru> m player ( my opinion
[18:39] <gaintsura> hmm, I have my firewall setup to allow icmp ping requests to be sent to the internal network, but its still rejecting them...
[18:39] <Lancelot> okay, thank you guys :)
[18:39] <Iesos> zsquareplusc, yes, I did...
[18:39] <juanez> xbmc is really slick too. but more like a media-pc-app
[18:39] <Arron> setting up gmail on evolution imap.gmail.com right?
[18:39] <ikonia> gaintsura: drop the firewall and make sure it's your firewall thats causing hte issue
[18:39] <ikonia> Arron: gmail has the settings on the website
[18:39] <zsquareplusc> Iesos: if it prints help, something on the command line is wrong. did you also look at the man page? "man adduser"?
[18:40] <Jaffarkelshac> is there anyway to install the previous version of vlc, this new on in ibex is not very good.  (black screen at video startup, terrible when searching with status slide)
[18:40] <ikonia> Jaffarkelshac: not really
[18:40] <MBuntu> is there any chance to start the non-graphical installer from the desktop-cd?
[18:40] <ikonia> Jaffarkelshac: packages are built to be "current" wit h the current version
[18:40] <ikonia> MBuntu: no
[18:40] <joaopinto> MBuntu, there is no text installer on the desktop cd
[18:40] <Arron> okay shall check them out
[18:40] <Jaffarkelshac> ah well, i will stick with gnome-mplayer
[18:41] <juanez> Jaffarkelshac: not w/o a great deal of pain im afraid
[18:41] <Huffameg> hi! i have a problem playing videos in my browser.. normally it works allright (youtube, surfthechannel etc) but on certain sites all I get is a black square saying (no video).. anyone who knows what the problem might be?
[18:41] <kansan> question:
[18:41] <Photoguy> i486 means 32 bit?
[18:41] <MBuntu> is there any chance to change the xorg-settings after booting the life system?
[18:41] <magdale> hi...can u help me? fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdc1...what mena???
[18:41] <juanez> Jaffarkelshac: you could remove it, and build an older version from source, or "manually" install the older .deb
[18:41] <ikonia> Photoguy: it does
[18:41] <kansan> is there a gui diff tool for ubuntu hardy?
[18:41] <ikonia> MBuntu: sure
[18:41] <ikonia> kansan: gdiff
[18:41] <MBuntu> ikonia: That sounds good
[18:41] <zsquareplusc> Photoguy: i dont know where you would get 468 (and not 386 or 686) but yes, thats 32 bits
[18:41] <ikonia> juanez: you can't install the older deb
[18:41] <TJ-42> my typing in firefox 3 in ubuntu 8.10 64bit has decided to be backwards... what might cause this?
[18:41] <Jaffarkelshac> that would be too much trouble, i have an alternative working for me juanez
[18:41] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: why do you want 486
[18:42] <juanez> ikonia: really ?
[18:42] <ikonia> juanez: nope, dependencies won't match,
[18:42] <cristimarineru> did someone know if videomate u900 ( usb tv tuner ) its compatible with ubuntu 8.10 ?
[18:42] <calc> intrepid OOo 3.0.0-6ubuntu0intrepid1 being built atm, will be uploaded in a few hours
[18:42] <juanez> ikonia: you can hack the dep's
[18:42] <forester> Hi, does ubuntu >=8.04 support a Dell wireless 1395 802 11g mini card? Is there a list of supported hardware? Thanks!!
[18:42] <ikonia> juanez: no you can't
[18:42] <ikonia> juanez: you have to rebuild them
[18:42] <juanez> ikonia: but of course, you may be out of luck if they *really* mismatch
[18:42] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: i want what? i just never saw 486 in the output of uname recently
[18:42] <joaopinto> kansan, try xxdiff
[18:43] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: because there is no 486 kernel
[18:43] <gaintsura> ikonia: I disabled the firewall and ping is still timing out /giving 'destination unreachable'
[18:43] <ikonia> juajoa better option
[18:43] <ikonia> gaintsura: so you know it's not the firewall then
[18:43] <kansan>  ikonia doesnt exist; do you mean mgdiff?
[18:43] <chfwiggum> !krb5
[18:43] <ikonia> kansan: there is a tool called gdiff, may not be in the repos
[18:43] <zsquareplusc> ikonia: right, so if he wants to know which arch he is running, 486 is not the answer..
[18:43] <ikonia> zsquareplusc: no it's 32bit
[18:44] <Arron> Correct me if im wrong but ive heard its possible to run osx apps on linux? as it uses the same kernal?
[18:44] <Jaffarkelshac> forester: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[18:44] <ikonia> Arron: doesn't use the same kernel
[18:44] <ikonia> Arron: os X apps are not intended for the linux desktop target
[18:44] <Arron> so theres no way?
[18:44] <forester> Jaffarkelshac: Thanks!
[18:44] <joaopinto> Arron, no
[18:45] <limecat> Arron: osx uses a bsd kernel, linux doesnt'
[18:45] <limecat> i think
[18:45] <Arron> grr It sounds stupid but osx apps are pretty cool the only way to run them seems to be spending a fortune on a mac or running osx on a pc that ive never had any luck with
[18:45] <joaopinto> limecat, linux is a kernel it does not "use"  a kernel ;)
[18:46] <ikonia> Arron: OS X is for mac hardware
[18:46] <Arron> you can emulated it thought as its possible to run it on a pc
[18:46] <Arron> its been done
[18:46] <ikonia> Arron: thats illegal
[18:46] <Arron> educational wise
[18:46] <Scunizi> Arron: to see lots of what's available with just a couple clicks go to System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager... in there you can look at everything that has been prepackaged for Ubuntu and also search by keyword or by catagory.. It's nice to cruz it occationally.
[18:46] <ikonia> illegal
[18:46] <limecat> Arron: i think youll find that many linux apps are cool as hell too ;) check amarok, or compiz, or any gpanel apps
[18:46] <ikonia> Arron: education doesn't make it legal
[18:47] <Arron> does it matter as long as your learning?
[18:47] <Scunizi> yes
[18:47] <Arron> im sure most kids are going to go out and buy windows
[18:47] <Arron> be reasonable
[18:47] <Jaffarkelshac> what is the channel for ubuntu bot that suggest apps? i cant remember
[18:47] <joaopinto> ikonia, is is not that clear that it is illegal yet, that is still on courts and there is no decision, anyway, this is turning offtopic :)
[18:47] <ikonia> Arron: it matters because it's illega, so please stop talking abou tit
[18:47]  * Scunizi is learning how to break into houses with practice.. that legal because I'm just learning.
[18:48] <zsquareplusc> Jaffarkelshac: bestbot in #ubuntu-bots ?
[18:48] <Arron> flipping heck
[18:48] <Jaffarkelshac> thats the one zsquareplusc
[18:48] <Jaffarkelshac> thanks
[18:49] <Arron> over 60% of windows is pirated
[18:49] <ikonia> Arron: enough
[18:49] <ikonia> Arron: it doesn't change anything
[18:49] <Arron> did you know and a fact pirc
[18:49] <Arron> *piracy helps?
[18:49] <Arron> large organisations
[18:49] <ikonia> Arron: am I not being clear about sayign "stop"
[18:49] <WANNABE_> hey, i have windows in momment but i want install ubuntu mas i dont care remove my windows partition to install ubuntu how i need make?
[18:50] <Arron> ikonia *kiss*
[18:50] <ikonia> Arron: ?
[18:50] <Arron> you need some love
[18:50] <Arron> so im giving it to you
[18:50] <BenAshton24> hi
[18:50] <joaopinto> WANNABE_, you just need to use the desktop cd, and select to use the entire disk on the partitioning phase
[18:50] <Jaffarkelshac> they have volume lincensing for organisations arron
[18:50] <scientes> should i upgrade my router/server to  intrepid?
[18:50] <Scunizi> Arron: you're pushing it..
[18:50] <Scunizi> scientes: from what?
[18:50] <Arron> Im sorry but since I came on your so vicous and attacking limecat seems to be the only helpful one!
[18:50] <scientes> hardy
[18:51] <BenAshton24> hi
[18:51] <ikonia> Arron: no-one is attacking you
[18:51] <joaopinto> scientes, that is your decision :) if it  is running fine there is no reason to upgrade, assuming your are using hardy which is LTS
[18:51] <zsquareplusc> scientes: hardy is LTS, so if you dont like upgrading every 6 moths, stick with hardy for a server.
[18:51] <Arron> I see why people dont use ubuntu the support is dreadful!
[18:51] <Scunizi> scientes: hardy is LTS.. if this is a production machine no.. if you're just playing around .. go for it.
[18:51] <Arron> your like omgggg illegal etc etc
[18:51] <Arron> omg troll
[18:51] <Arron> etc
[18:51] <high-freq> lol
[18:51] <Scunizi> !ot | Arron
[18:51] <joaopinto> Arron, actually you are misinformed, a lot of people use Ubuntu, because they can get real support here, instead of random chat about macosx :)
[18:52] <Arron> im not a mac user anyway!
[18:52] <high-freq> is it bad to have 2 wireless nics workin at same time on same puter on same router?
[18:52] <scientes> how do i unpeg packages from the command line
[18:52] <juanez> ... :)
[18:52] <joaopinto> high-freq, as far as I know there is nothing "bad" on that
[18:52] <psusi> high-freq: it doesn't seem like it would be at all useful to do
[18:52] <joaopinto> scientes, unpeg ??
[18:52] <DjViper> scientes: unpeg?
[18:52] <Scunizi> scientes: unpeg?
[18:52] <DjViper> LOL
[18:52] <zsquareplusc> scientes: dpkg -i *.deb?
[18:52] <scientes> lol, unlock the version
[18:53] <DjViper> tar -zxvf *.tar.gz
[18:53] <DjViper> oh
[18:53] <high-freq> ya logged in and both nics decided to login to router lol...i mean i can shut one off but didn't know when pulling up firefox or irc which nic its using
[18:53] <Jaffarkelshac> thats why people think you are trolling your chat is not a question or a support nature Arron. anything aside from this needs to be in offtopic
[18:53] <joaopinto> high-freq, that depends on your routing configuration
[18:53] <high-freq> tru
[18:53] <psusi> joaopinto: depending on the radios involved, having two of them right next to each other in one machine could cause their amplifiers to get swamped by the overpowering transmissions from the other, resulting in loss of signal
[18:54] <high-freq> never setup routing info besides on my AP
[18:54] <psusi> high-freq: why do you even have two wireless nics installed in one machine?
[18:54] <synaptix> !pulseaudioinfection
[18:54] <synaptix> !removepulse
[18:54] <ozzloy> how do i bind multiple IP addresses to a single NIC on boot?
[18:54] <synaptix> !removepulseaudio
[18:54] <synaptix> :(
[18:54] <joaopinto> psusi, ok, I should had more attention on my telecom discipline :P
[18:55] <synaptix> !pulseaudio
[18:55] <synaptix> no no no
[18:55] <joaopinto> ozzloy, if I am not mistaken that is called "bonding"
[18:55] <joaopinto> oh wait
[18:55] <joaopinto> you mean multiple ips on same card
[18:55] <joaopinto> you just need to setup a static device, with ethN:N
[18:55] <cristimarineru> did anyone try cedega on 8.10 ? some opinions please
[18:56] <joaopinto> cristimarineru, better ask on offtopic
[18:56] <high-freq> psusi, testing purposes ;)
[18:56] <ozzloy> joaopinto: where are the networking files located in ubuntu?
[18:56] <joaopinto> ozzloy, if you are not using network manager it's /etc/network/interfaces
[18:57] <lamur> hey guys
[18:57] <psusi> high-freq: I would suggest not doing that... just use one
[18:57] <joaopinto> I think NM does not use the interfaces file, I am not sure
[18:57] <eydaimon> How can I check to see if a HD has problems? fsck? anything else?
[18:57] <joaopinto> eydaimon, fsck or if you are afraid of bad sectores, run the badblocks command
[18:57] <psusi> eydaimon: you can try using smartctl in the smartmontools packge
[18:58] <eydaimon> psusi: thanks
[18:58] <high-freq> psusi, ya aint no biggie..its workin lol...i'll turn one off later for security purposes
[18:58] <eydaimon> joaopinto: thanks
[18:58] <synaptix> ok, maybe there's somebody here who can answer this question, if you wouldn't mind:
[18:58] <lamur> hey guys
[18:58] <synaptix> is the /system/preferences/sound mentioned in the pulseaudio wiki page for removal from hardy, a gnome-specific thing?
[18:58] <ozzloy> how would i do this with network manager?
[18:58] <DiiPhantom> just now i was playing unrealtournament99, and it window sized, and i could not move mouse, type, nothing, after pressing all butoms ubunto like loggout out
[18:59] <DiiPhantom> how i do that again?
[18:59] <BenAshton24> f
[18:59] <eydaimon> excellent response time, I wish I had that everytime I was wondering something :)
[18:59] <chfwiggum> !nfs
[19:00] <mmaher> !debian
[19:00] <DiiPhantom> anyone?
[19:01] <joaopinto> !anyone | DiiPhantom
[19:01] <DiiPhantom> i did
[19:01] <joaopinto> DiiPhantom, is that using wine ?
[19:01] <detective> !canonicle
[19:01] <DiiPhantom> no straight ubuntu
[19:01] <Pici> !canonical
[19:01] <synaptix> Hello: the pulseaudio wiki page for removal from Hardy mentions /system/preferences/sound. This doesn't exist in any way I can see
[19:02] <synaptix> is this something Gnome-specific?
[19:02] <lamur> hey guys
[19:02] <DiiPhantom> idk maybe its just keys im using conflict with ubuntu
[19:02] <DiiPhantom> ty anyways
[19:02] <rogan> is it safe to delete this dir? http://pastebin.com/m24018e86 I was clearing up some space on my hdd and ran xdiskutility and found the .cache folder thats hiden
[19:02] <DIL> is there a program (gui) that will show the progress of concatenating a file
[19:02] <joaopinto> rogan, it's a cache area for those apps, should be safe
[19:03] <rogan> joaopinto thx
[19:03] <goaCeu> Ohh shit
[19:03] <joaopinto> DIL, thats a very unusual operation to be performed on a gui...
[19:03] <ubendu> !Mark
[19:03] <synaptix> I am sure hundreds of people must ask about pulseaudio removal. Can anyone remember this particular question coming up before?
[19:03] <goaCeu> joaopinto whatahell??
[19:03] <ikonia> goaCeu: please control your language
[19:03] <joaopinto> !language | goaCeu
[19:03] <DIL> joaopinto: yes
[19:03] <magnetron> DIL→ how large are these files that you are concatenating? it should be a pretty quick operation
[19:03] <goaCeu> ikonia  ok ok my frind, srry! ^^
[19:03] <ikonia> goaCeu: no problem
[19:03] <goaCeu> !language
[19:04] <synaptix> it would be kind of awesome if my ubuntu system didn't monopolise my computer with brokenness for the week as well as the weekend
[19:04] <Schadow> how/where do I get more software sources
[19:04] <DIL> magnetron: 11 2gb segments
[19:04] <jaufi> anyone know where to find a good smooth dock for gnome?
[19:04] <lamur> do you guys know how i can read a ntfs hordrive with ubuntu
[19:04] <synaptix> and I am really really trying to stick with it.
[19:04] <synaptix> but no?
[19:04] <magnetron> !ntfs-3g | lamur
[19:04] <synaptix> yeah, cheers.
[19:04] <MetalliMyers> hai u guise
[19:05] <joaopinto> synaptix, what is your problem ?
[19:05] <Wixicy> Hai gais!
[19:05] <synaptix> the wiki page for removal from hardy mentions /system/preferences/sound. This path does not exist on my Hardy system
[19:06] <synaptix> is it a path? is it some kind of guide through the gui?
[19:06] <lamur> oke thnxmagnatron and ubotto
[19:06] <synaptix> and if so, is it specific to some particular DE?
[19:06] <joaopinto> synaptix, that looks a gconf path
[19:06] <joaopinto> its specific to gnome apps, which use gconf
[19:06] <darkvertex> synaptix: it refers to ubuntu menu
[19:07] <joaopinto> oh, thats a menu path, sorry, it looked a gconf path
[19:07] <synaptix> so it's either a gconf path of referse to the menu?
[19:07] <synaptix> ah, ok :)
[19:07] <synaptix> it looks very very like a path path, you know.
[19:07] <MetalliMyers> hello, I'm new to linux
[19:07] <joaopinto> synaptix, since it's a wiki page, you can improve it ;)
[19:08] <synaptix> I had guessed it might not be
[19:08] <Jaffarkelshac> welcome MetalliMyers
[19:08] <synaptix> hang on though, now you raise gconf, if I drop pulseaudio, am I likely to need to change any sound settings fot apps taht use gconf?
[19:08] <MetalliMyers> thanks
[19:09] <joaopinto> synaptix, no, they should provide an interface in case you need to specify the sound server
[19:09] <synaptix> ah yeah, that makes sense
[19:10] <rafting> Im so sick of this
[19:10] <synaptix> OK, thanks
[19:10] <rafting> it seems impossible to get going with wireless on ubuntu
[19:10] <joaopinto> rafting, some wifi cars are known to be problematic
[19:10] <synaptix> now to try and find out any kde-specific stuff in #kubuntu
[19:10] <joaopinto> cards
[19:10] <sproingie> is there a recommended hotkey program/applet for creating new hotkeys?
[19:10] <synaptix> thanks - you appreciate I need to ask about what I guess is gnome-specific in #ubuntu main, and am not just being an idiot ;)
[19:11] <redrebel> how do I show only directories with 'ls'
[19:11] <sachael> anyone know a utility for mass lyrics download?
[19:11] <rafting> when it asks for wpa authenificatoom I pu the password. there is a show password button. I press it and then it is another password shown than the one I filled in! why!??????????????????+
[19:11] <darkvertex> redrebel: ls -ld?
[19:12] <joaopinto> rafting, it shows you the encrypted password, that is not a problem, the problem is that it's showing you the password prompt again because it is unable to authenticate
[19:12] <redrebel> 'ls -ld' doest work
[19:12] <redrebel> only show me (.)
[19:12] <joaopinto> redrebel, that means you have no other directories there
[19:12] <MetalliMyers> what is another busy channel on this server?
[19:12] <badawi> redrebel: ls -l | grep '^d'
[19:12] <joaopinto> ops wait, ignor eme :P
[19:12] <badawi> redrebel: or find . -type f
[19:13] <badawi> oops
[19:13] <badawi> redrebel: or find . -type d
[19:13] <MetalliMyers> I'm testing an irc client
[19:13] <unop> redrebel,  ls -ld *
[19:13] <bullgard4> In Rhythmbox > Musik markiere ich ein Musikstück im größten Feld rechts unten > Rechtsklick > (Eigenschaften von ...) > Grundlegend > Genre: Den vorgegebenen Eintrag 'Unbekannt' kann ich nicht durch einen anderen überschreiben. Woran liegt das?
[19:13] <joaopinto> ls -ld * will also show files
[19:13] <payload> MetalliMyers: #debian ^^
[19:13] <joaopinto> find it's safer
[19:13] <redrebel> find . -type d and  ls -l | grep '^d' works!
[19:13] <zsquareplusc> !de | bullgard4
[19:13] <redrebel> thanx
[19:14] <unop> find . -type d  will recurse  -maxdepth 1 is needed if it has to behave like ls
[19:15] <rafting> joaopinto: ok and why is it unable to authenticate?
[19:15] <badawi> redrebel: man gawk to see the possibilites of getting column 8 only
[19:15] <joaopinto> rafting, check /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
[19:16] <NicEXE> I am trying to make a launcher that launches that file /media/400GB/jDownloader/JDownloader.jar what is the exact command?
[19:16] <redrebel> is it safe to clear a log file with '> file.log' while the process writing to it is running??
[19:16] <rafting> joaopinto: foe what?
[19:16] <zsquareplusc> NicEXE: i think  java -jar yourjar
[19:16] <joaopinto> NicEXE, java -jar file.jar
[19:16] <dfrank> hello All, tell me please, what should i do: i have a directory which can't be removed or listed containings files: if i try to do something of it, process become zombie
[19:16] <joaopinto> redrebel, yes, it is
[19:16] <ikonia> rafting: can do
[19:16] <ikonia> ops
[19:17] <ikonia> redrebel: ^
[19:17] <synaptix> thank you very much joaopinto and darkvertex
[19:17] <joaopinto> dfrank, what error do you get when you try to remove it ?
[19:17] <darkvertex> synaptix: you're welvome
[19:17] <Jaffarkelshac> ubuntu-offtopic MetalliMyers
[19:17] <dfrank> joaopinto: no error, just no response
[19:17] <Static-->  /set irc_conf_mode on
[19:18] <joaopinto> dfrank, have you tried to delete it from the terminal ?
[19:18] <synaptix> right, these "rustlin" and "ocean" sounds are going to blow my speakers any moment, so I'm just going to aptitude remove pulseaudio
[19:18] <synaptix> :(
[19:18] <NicEXE> zsquareplusc, joaopinto: thanx. it worked!
[19:18] <dfrank> joaopinto: yes, i tried from terminal only (i have SSH access to server)
[19:18] <joaopinto> dfgas, and it hands while removing with rm ?
[19:18] <joaopinto> hangs
[19:19] <synaptix> woah... it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[19:19] <joaopinto> synaptix, that is a meta package, it will not remove it's contents
[19:19] <synaptix> does that package work both ways? ie will it pull off everything it brought with it?
[19:19] <joaopinto> it means you are removing one package which is part of the ubuntu-desktop
[19:19] <synaptix> ah ok then
[19:19] <joaopinto> synaptix, yes, it will
[19:20] <joaopinto> erm, I mean, no, not for the removal, just in case you need to reinstall the base desktop packages
[19:20] <Static--> look at the size, its like 44kb. it wont hurt anything
[19:20] <zsquareplusc> it just hurts the upgrade to the next ubuntu release ;-)
[19:20] <Static--> its a dummy package
[19:20] <synaptix> hurts in what way?
[19:20] <joaopinto> synaptix, if there are upgrades specific to ubuntu-desktop, like a new package added to it on the upgrade, you will not get it
[19:21] <synaptix> I suppose the metapackage won't be there to upgrade everything that's needed
[19:21] <zsquareplusc> when the next release includes new applications for the desktop, they wong get installed as you removed the meta package
[19:21] <synaptix> ( if you call them metapackages over here )
[19:21] <synaptix> I suppose I could reinstall it as part of my upgrade plan
[19:21] <comicinker> when I try to login into a www-server via ssh, I receive the error message "Could not chdir to home directory ....". How can I immidiately change to /www ?
[19:21] <George_> is anyone having problems with google talk?
[19:21] <joaopinto> comicinker, cd /www ?
[19:21] <synaptix> better than this nonsense - I'm not keeping pulseaudio, I'm afraid :)
[19:21] <synaptix> right, I have a plan. Thanks
[19:22] <zsquareplusc> synaptix: whats not working?
[19:22] <joaopinto> Genesis^, is there a google talk client that works on Ubuntu ?
[19:22] <comicinker> when I try to login into a www-server via ssh, I receive the error message "Could not chdir to home directory ....". How can I immidiately change to /www during login?
[19:22] <joaopinto> comicinker, cd /www
[19:22] <synaptix> I'll survive with kubuntu-desktop in the long run
[19:22] <joaopinto> comicinker, assuming you do get a login prompt
[19:22] <synaptix> zsquareplusc: almost everything that uses sound
[19:23] <zsquareplusc> synaptix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[19:23] <joaopinto> comicinker, if you do not, you can't fix it, you will need to login with another user, or doing a local login
[19:23] <comicinker> joaopinto: yes. I am. ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'cd /www' doesn't help
[19:23] <juanez> joaopinto: centerim is google-talk enabled
[19:23] <Wixicy> Hai gais!
[19:23] <Wixicy> I has problem with computoor
[19:23] <synaptix> zsquareplusc: I'd rather just have my old sound system, which was perfectly functional for me in every way
[19:23] <joaopinto> comicinker, if ssh is kicking you on login, it's because for security reasons it requires you to have an existing home dir, and you can't workaround that
[19:24] <synaptix> than invest my free time in fixing something that addresses problems that...
[19:24] <synaptix> ...that don't seem to really exist
[19:24] <Wixicy> Can anyone help me with a font?
[19:24] <zsquareplusc> synaptix: i think you can easily configure all the apps to use ALSA and disable pulseaudio in the session
[19:24] <ghismo> guys i have some troubles with flash player: youtube suddenly stops! since the last update amsn and amule don't run!
[19:24] <sharms> synaptix: and I would rather spend my time discussing that in the proper places
[19:25] <synaptix> sharms: this is #ubuntu, a support channel
[19:25] <comicinker> joaopinto: If I use a gui for file management, I can login because I can change the default directory when logging in.
[19:25] <synaptix> my problem is "pulseaudio broke my sound"
[19:25] <joaopinto> comicinker, you mean an ftp client ?
[19:25] <Wixicy> I have a problem with Ubuntu 8.10, can anyone help me?
[19:25] <comicinker> joaopinto: yes
[19:25] <redrebel> is this the command I would use to delete all directories older then 3 days??     find . -mtime +3 -type d -exec -fr {} \
[19:26] <DigitalFiz> Wixicy, not if you dont ask the question
[19:26] <redrebel> want to make sure I don't delete anything else
[19:26] <Wixicy> Oh
[19:26] <ghismo> how i can solve that?
[19:26] <joaopinto> comicinker, ftp does not relay on ssh for the authentication, your ftp server may allows you to login regardless if you have an home dir or not, that does not mean sshd will do it
[19:26] <synaptix> zsquareplusc: All the gamers I know who use ubuntu have had lots of problems with pulseaudio, with games, with teamspeak, with in-game voice chat - I wonder if the wiki should point out
[19:26] <comicinker> joaopinto: I see
[19:26] <zsquareplusc> redrebel: no, you missed the rm command. and for testing use echo instead of rm :-)
[19:26] <Wixicy> I am not able to install .PCF fonts, when I try "fs-cache -vf" it ignores the PCF
[19:26] <sproingie> is there any way i can create a global hotkey like, oh, super-n to launch gedit?
[19:26] <Wixicy> Why?
[19:27] <synaptix> that the path given in the removal instructions for hardy, should say they are gnome-specific?
[19:27] <redrebel> zsquareplusc,  thanx
[19:27] <sproingie> it's driving me nuts that i can't get anything like pshotlaunch or any of the other eleventy billion hotkey launchers
[19:27] <synaptix> it might save people a little confusion - because it looks like a file system path
[19:27] <MetalliMyers> hilow
[19:27] <synaptix> "/system/preferences/sound"
[19:27] <iSchadow> hey, is shmconfig.fdi a HUGE text file?
[19:27] <rafting> joaopinto: /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log, what should I do with it?
[19:27] <comicinker> joaopinto: but maybe I can modify the ~/.ssh/config for this host to specify a default directory ?
[19:27] <mgolisch> sproingie: you can set hotkeys in your desktop environments/windowmanagers settings
[19:28] <joaopinto> rafting, you should check it's contents
[19:28] <iSchadow> my gedit is frozen solid by trying to open it
[19:28] <joaopinto> comicinker, why dont you just create the home directory for the user ?
[19:28] <Toznoshio> sproingie, keylaunch - A small utility for binding commands to a hot key
[19:28] <sproingie> mgolisch: i tried csm, it doesn't have anything like associating arbitrary hotkeys to arbitrary apps
[19:28] <joaopinto> comicinker, you can«t change ~/.ssh, if there is no ~
[19:28] <Wixicy> I am not able to install .PCF fonts, when I try "fs-cache -vf" it ignores the PCF, why?
[19:28] <joaopinto> comicinker, it's a server side config, not client side
[19:28] <mgolisch> sproingie: it has iam quite sure
[19:28] <comicinker> joaopinto: no, client side
[19:29] <Guest41222> im really getting agrivated....  I downloaded amarok and keep getting the "No available decoder" error message... I uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same thing...   I want to listen to internet radio only.. Can someone help me please....
[19:29] <comicinker> joaopinto: the .ssh/config can be used also for client side config (or maybe only)
[19:29] <Windstone> can i put passwords on folders?
[19:29] <sproingie> wow the documentation for keylaunch is ... just freakin wow
[19:29] <iSchadow> why can't I open shmconfig.fdi without gedit freezing?
[19:29] <mgolisch> sproingie: select the general options plugin, go to tab commands, expand the first arrow and you have 11 freely definabkle commands
[19:30] <gaintsura> ok, well I've gotten 1 step further, linux can now ping the windows box... but I still can't ping the linux box from windows... no internet to windows box either
[19:30] <sachael> anyone know a utility for mass lyrics download?
[19:31] <synaptix> !restricted
[19:31] <mgolisch> sproingie: the keybindings arrow under that lets you assign a keybinding for each of those commands
[19:31] <kantor> hi
[19:31] <kantor> hi, I have my operating systems (linux, and freebsd) on a 80 GB hdd, I also have a 160 GB hdd, how can I copy all the data (the operating systems) from the 80 GB hdd to the 160 GB hdd, so I do not need to reinstall linux and freebsd to that 160 GB hdd ?
[19:31] <ghismo> guys i have some problems with flash player! i can't run youtube! plus since last update (i still have 8.04) i can't tun amsn and amule! anyone can explain why?
[19:31] <Toznoshio> sachael, lyricue
[19:31] <synaptix> !restricted @ Guest41222

[19:31] <sachael> Toznoshio, thanks. will check it out
[19:31] <dominic_f> gaintsura - I havn't been following the conversation so far but are both on the same lan or is there a router between them?
[19:31] <MHz128> Where are Network Manager config files for WPA stored? I am using ndiswrapper with nm-applet... still unable to connect via WPA... any ideas?
[19:31] <diffred> how can I extract an .iso file? I've download a collection of books which is in .iso file
[19:32] <sproingie> mgolisch: the UI is torture, and it's limited, but close enough i guess
[19:32] <badawi> diffred: u're supposed to mount it or burn it
[19:32] <mgolisch> sproingie: yeah its horrible
[19:32] <mgolisch> :9
[19:32] <Scunizi> kantor: the "Rescue CD" has partimage on it.  It will image your partitions so you can put them back onto the other drive..
[19:32] <zsquareplusc> kantor: if the other disk is empty, you could use dd and then gparted to expand the partitions. or "cp -ax" makes archive copies of trees.
[19:32] <diffred> badawi: but..how can I access the files within the iso? I mean I have the iso on the HD, don't want to burn it
[19:32] <Hikefu__> !iso
[19:32] <sproingie> mgolisch: actually it's horrible to the point where it defeats any ability to enter any shortcuts at all
[19:32] <gaintsura> dominic_f: I've got a ppp0 device (usb broadband WWAN adapter) on my linux box, and I'm trying to share the internet via ethernet crossover cable to a windows box. Previously, I could not get either box to ping the other. Now I seem to have managed to get linux to ping windows, but not the other way around. I'm using firestarter to provider the ICS abilities.
[19:33] <sproingie> ohhh okay, <Super>n can't take any spaces
[19:33] <kevin__> the archive manager can be used to explore the contents of ISO"s
[19:33] <kantor> Scunizi, thanks
[19:33] <kevin__> just right-click on them
[19:33] <sproingie> i guess computers aren't advanced enough to strip out any *^&&*(^!#^!^ spaces
[19:33] <domevlo> What part of gnome or ubuntu controls how the lock screen dialog looks? How can I customize it?
[19:34] <sproingie> mgolisch: that worked -- thanks :)
[19:34] <mgolisch> sproingie: np
[19:34]  * sproingie grumbles, no thanks to the people who don't offer something that basic in gnome
[19:34] <synaptix> lol customise.
[19:35] <synaptix> is that doing the same thing as kotkeys then?
[19:35] <sproingie> hotkeys only works with those "special keys"
[19:35] <sproingie> i tried three different hotkey programs, they're all the same that way, basically hardwired
[19:35] <diffred> how do I "open" an iso file? like if it where a .rar? just downloaded a collection of books and is in .iso...
[19:36] <synaptix> you want to launch things with individual letter presses?
[19:36] <sharms> diffred: mount it somewhere
[19:36] <kevin__> right-click on it and open with archive manager
[19:36] <badawi> !iso | diffred
[19:36] <aurynn> Is there a new .deb out for python2.6 anywhere? I'm not seeing it in synaptic
[19:36] <diffred> badawi: I've run that command
[19:36] <darkvertex> gaintsura: how did you manage to ping windows? what changed?
[19:36] <diffred> and nothing happened :S
[19:36] <rob227> can anyone help me with the sub on my speakers. I have turned the LFE way up and screwed aroudn with it but it doesn't have any effect and it is not muted
[19:36] <Windstone> im haveing trouble with vids and sound - can any1 help?
[19:36] <diffred> I don't have any new folder, nor I've got any error
[19:36] <kevin__> you could also mount the ISO as though it were a drive too
[19:37] <badawi> diffred: where did you mount it?
[19:37] <rob227> they are 2.1 speakers on 5.1 sound card
[19:37] <diffred> to the same folder where the iso file is
[19:37] <diffred>  sudo mount -o loop ALL\ MATH\ BOOK\ CATEGORISED.iso .
[19:37] <badawi> diffred: u can't do that
[19:37] <rob227> can't find any forum topics about that particular configuration
[19:37] <diffred> badawi: so what should I do?
[19:37] <kevin__> is there a replacement panel for gnome that can be hidden 100%?
[19:37] <badawi> diffred: sudo mount -o loop ALL\ MATH\ BOOK\ CATEGORISED.iso /mnt
[19:38] <diffred> badawi: so then I'll have a folder with the books?
[19:38] <sproingie> synaptix: right, for ages i've had a command prompt and notepad bound to a hotkey in windows.  very convenient
[19:38] <slayton> is there a way to display all files/folders in DIR A that are not in DIR B?
[19:38] <badawi> diffred: the files will be in /mnt
[19:38] <diffred> badawi: but /mnt is on the internal HD init, that file is too big to mount it on the internal HD, I would like to mount it on the external USB HD
[19:39] <badawi> diffred: it doesn't matter
[19:39] <gaintsura> darkvertex: I erased and rebuilt all of my firewall rules (then cleared them), followed a tutorial on ICS using the iptables postrouting masquerade/dnsmasq/ipmasq and rebooted..
[19:39] <synaptix> Yound it's like  letter or something, or just  button on  multimedi keybord?
[19:39] <synaptix> ew
[19:39] <kantor> Scunizi, if I use partimage I still need to make partitions on that 160 GB hdd ? or I can create an image (from that 80 GB hdd where my OS's are) that contains all the partitions, and then simply write that image to the target drive (the 160 GB hdd) and the partitions shall be created on that 160 GB hdd
[19:39] <diffred> badawi: what do you mean
[19:39] <dr_willis> diffred,  a mount point is just a directory.  it dosent take any mopre space.
[19:39] <badawi> diffred: ^^
[19:39] <karname> how i can use a folder that share with samba in ubuntu
[19:39] <synaptix> I meant "and it's like  letter or something, or just  button on  multimedia keyboard?"
[19:40] <diffred> dr_willis: u mean the files are in the external hd eventhough I mount it on /mnt
[19:40] <Windstone> can an1 help me with my sound - i dont have any and dont know how to fix it!! ------<<<<<<<<<<
[19:40] <dr_willis> karname,  carify that a bit to the channel.
[19:40] <synaptix> khotkeys actions can be individual keys, you know?
[19:40] <dr_willis> diffred,  exactly. dosent make sence any other way...
[19:40] <sproingie> synaptix: key combination.  <Super>n for notepad in this case (gedit actually)
[19:40] <diffred> dr_willis: thanks than gonna do it :)
[19:40] <paul68> hi Is there a way to create a shortcut so that I can directly logon to my server without entering each time the logon credentials?
[19:40] <Scunizi> kantor: partimage will create partitions for you of the exact same size when you restore it to the new drive
[19:40] <joaopinto> paul68, you can enable auto login on the gdm setup
[19:41] <iSchadow> will anyone help me at this guide?
[19:41] <sproingie> synaptix: i convinced csm to do this, but man is it a hell of a lot less nice than, say, pshotlaunch
[19:41] <sproingie> and pshotlaunch's gui isn't necessarily even all that good
[19:41] <darkvertex> gaintsura: insert a rule to let icmp echo requests from the windows box
[19:41] <synaptix> zsquareplusc: what, and it actually takes effort to set that up with the gnome apps?
[19:41] <iSchadow> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig   - at SHMConfig, where do I enter the text? at the bottom of preferences.fdi or somewhere in the middle?
[19:41] <gaintsura> darkvertex:  got an example? I'm bad with iptables
[19:41] <synaptix> sproingie even
[19:41] <paul68> joaopinto: is there a howto or something else to show me how to do this?
[19:42] <joaopinto> paul68, System -> Admin -> Login Window
[19:42] <sproingie> synaptix: there is nothing at all in the gnome apps i can see that even does that
[19:42] <RenatoSilva> when i double click the title of a window I want it to maximize/restore, not roll like a paper. I'm trying to find the compiz config option, but they're many. What is the exact option?
[19:42] <synaptix> sproingie: use kde
[19:42] <zsquareplusc> synaptix: you are referring to what? using ALSA?
[19:42] <andre123> hello ppl.. i have a question here...
[19:43] <andre123> could someone please help me?
[19:43] <synaptix> kcontrol > keyboard shortcuts > commands. Pick your editor click apply shortcut and press super n
[19:43] <darkvertex> gaintsura: something like a: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -s <IP_ADDRESS> -j ACCEPT
[19:43] <cr4z3d> hey, i've got a huge issue on my Eee 901 with apt-get. looks like i broke the package manager. it gives me a list of packages with unmet dependencies and tells me to run "apt-get -f install" to fix everything. but when running that i get an error stating /var/log/apt is missing and that dpkg returned an error code (1). i have no idea how to solve this problem
[19:43] <synaptix> hey presto your editor opens every time you press super n
[19:43] <ghismo> Guys help me! i can't run youtube anymore? i odn't know why..plus since last update (i still have 8.04) i can't run amsn and amule!
[19:43] <synaptix> if you like customising stuff, I'd just use kde to be honest
[19:43] <sproingie> synaptix: kde wins again.  i probably should install it, i've just not had great experiences installing via aptitude install kubuntu
[19:44] <sproingie> and since i had to install through wubi, kubuntu wasn't available
[19:44] <synaptix> I just can't believe how difficult gnome makes these things as soon as you stray from the default behaviour
[19:44] <synaptix> I'm not trolling, it just surprises me
[19:44] <sproingie> actually the official behavior isn't difficult, it's impossible
[19:44] <J-_> Is there anything similar to yakuake for gnome?
[19:44] <synaptix> tilda
[19:45] <synaptix> J-_: tilda
[19:45] <joaopinto> synaptix / sproingie can you move the gnome vs KDE conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic ? Thanks
[19:45] <Windstone> can any1 help me - i dont have any sound?? <<<---------------------------------
[19:45] <RenatoSilva> when i double click the title of a window I want it to maximize/restore, not roll like a paper. I'm trying to find the compiz config option, but they're many. What is the exact option?
[19:45] <sproingie> huh default for me is maximize
[19:45] <gaintsura> darkvertex: ok thanks, I'll do that and post results when I return, must go take care of something real quick
[19:45] <joaopinto> !compiz | RenatoSilva
[19:45] <synaptix> joaopinto: I was a bit dubious about posting it, but then I realised it would actually help the guy
[19:46] <J-_> synaptix: ohhh yeah. Cool, thanks
[19:46] <synaptix> it would be topic mania to actually not help the guy.
[19:46]  * andre123 need help with aitconfig.. someone?
[19:46] <synaptix> JUST because the answer was "try kde"
[19:46] <darkvertex> gaintsura: np. better yet use this: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
[19:47] <joaopinto> synaptix, the problem is that you are describing the suggestion based on your personal opinion, which can clearly bring debate into the subject, something more suite to the offtopic channel :)
[19:48] <synaptix> I'm just saying that KDE can do it, and Gnome can't. The only thought I ventured on it was that it surprised me.
[19:49] <DiiPhantom> if i reinstall windows, i know ill lose the loader for ubuntu, how can i put it back after that happens?
[19:49] <synaptix> I don't really care. IT HELPED HIM TO BE TOLD ANOTHER SOFTWARE HAD THE FEATURE HE WANTED.
[19:49] <joaopinto> !grub | DiiPhantom
[19:49] <synaptix> Goodness me. I think I shall go.
[19:49] <joaopinto> !caps | synaptix
[19:49] <ghismo> guys is it possible to disable the last update?
[19:49] <synaptix> Thank you for your time, and I shall refrain from telling people KDE can do stuff, allowing them instead to spend hours trying to do it in Gnome.
[19:49] <synaptix> Double plus ungood!
[19:50] <joaopinto> ghismo, what update are you referring to ?
[19:50] <ghismo> sincelast update i have so many troubles
[19:50] <gaintsura> darkvertex: ok, now I can ping from both and see both... but I still have no internet connection
[19:50] <ghismo> those one ubuntu suggest you..
[19:51] <ghismo> since last update (i syill have 8.04) i can't run amsn amule and etc etc..
[19:51] <joaopinto> ghismo, if you want to reverse a specific update you need to know the package name and install the older version from the apt cache
[19:51] <joaopinto> but that cean bring you dependency problems, depends on the package
[19:51] <DiiPhantom> holy cow! lol ill leave that for another time :)
[19:51] <sproingie> reversing an update with deps is real pain
[19:51] <joaopinto> ghismo, what error do you get on the terminal when you try to run one of thse ?
[19:51] <darkvertex> gaintsura: ensure ip_forward is still on (=1) and let us see your iptables -L
[19:51] <sproingie> i remember yast did a pretty decent job at configuration snapshots
[19:51] <sproingie> up til the point where it failed anyway
[19:51] <RenatoSilva> dbl click on window = maximize/restore, where is the option i compiz config?
[19:52] <scientes> how can i make switching between framebuffer and video card driver not reset my monitor, my monitor is not very good at autodetection and i have to unplug it, wait about 60 seconds, and replug it in every time to get it to work again
[19:52] <ghismo> nothing! it simply doesn't run
[19:52] <joaopinto> RenatoSilva, please try the compiz support channel
[19:52] <sproingie> i wish i could figure out how to switch between fb and vidcard driver without crashing X outright
[19:52] <joaopinto> ghismo, have you tried running amsn from a terminal ?
[19:52] <gaintsura> darkvertex: sure thing, hold please
[19:52] <scientes> ghismo, you have to type in the program name on the terminal and then you are likely to see errors
[19:53] <ghismo> yes ...i've just tried and it doesn't run...and no error message
[19:53] <scientes> does it say seg fault or does it quietly close, or does it lock up the terminal and stay running with nothing to show for it?
[19:54] <sproingie> it's kinda ironic, spent the first 10 years of using linux trying to get into a working X desktop, now X is entirely clicky config but i can't get out of it without crashing
[19:54] <RottenKid> hi guys
[19:54] <RottenKid> can someone help me please/
[19:54] <piklesonfire> hey RottenKid we can try :] what's up?
[19:54] <scientes> how much less will my computer be with a server kernel, i want xen
[19:54] <kantor> Scunizi, thank you very much for your help ;-)
[19:55] <RottenKid> i've just installed ubuntu
[19:55] <RottenKid> and my wireless driver with ndiswrapper
[19:55] <RottenKid> but by network i don't have roaming mode
[19:55] <scientes> ghismo, that question was for u
[19:55] <piklesonfire> scientes, xen isn't well supported in ubuntu, look into kvm
[19:55] <RottenKid> :(
[19:55] <sproingie> scientes: kernel isn't any different with server, it just installs a lot less packages
[19:55] <piklesonfire> !enter | RottenKid
[19:55] <scientes> well 100mhz vs 250 mhz
[19:55] <RottenKid> and i can't enable
[19:55] <Scunizi> kantor: not a problem.. you might have to use gparted after to either create another partition with the unused portion of the drive or to expand the current partitions.
[19:55] <joaopinto> sproingie, actually the server kernel does have a different configuration
[19:55] <scientes> i need xen cause my server doesnt have VT
[19:55] <scientes> and xen is better anyways from what i can tell
[19:56] <scientes> for linux guests at least
[19:56] <joaopinto> scientes, you can also use vmware
[19:56] <sproingie> joaopinto: recent change?  i never recalled it being different in 6.06 (which was the last server version i had)
[19:56] <piklesonfire> scientes, ah I see, well, xen is a good option, when I was running it, i had quite minimal speed decreases
[19:56] <scientes> ahh thats the main thing preventing me from using xen, they are incompadible, but vmware isnt as flexible and you have to pay for reasonable features
[19:56] <gaintsura> darkvertex: ip_forward still = 1 and heres my iptables http://pastie.org/334213
[19:56] <ghismo> oh sorry i didn't realize
[19:56] <scientes> like live migration
[19:57] <piklesonfire> RottenKid, it may not have roaming mode, but does it have an option to configure via dhcp?
[19:57] <joaopinto> sproingie, but it is on the latest version, there is a -server kernell package which is optmized for server applications
[19:57] <RottenKid> yes
[19:57] <ghismo> scientes all the troubles started when i made the last update...i'm thinking to pass to 8.10...can u tell me how?
[19:57] <piklesonfire> !enter | scientes
[19:57] <scientes> also doesnt xen put the kernel outside the vm so you can run one fully with nfs or other cool configs
[19:57] <RottenKid> it has for sure roaming mode
[19:57] <joaopinto> sproingie, I am just talking about the kernel, not about the "server" version, which meets your definition
[19:57] <diffred> I've mounted an iso file and now an icons appear on the desktop. How can I get rid of it?
[19:57] <RottenKid> because till 2 hours ago i've used it
[19:57] <distefam> hello, I am a bio student and the built in spellcheck keeps underlining common biology terms (ones that OSX was able to recognize) does anyone know whether there is a way to add a biology dictionary or something?
[19:58] <RottenKid> cand i speak with you in private?
[19:58] <sproingie> joaopinto: no worries, i believe you :)
[19:58] <joaopinto> !upgrading | ghismo
[19:58] <piklesonfire> RottenKid, sure thing pm me
[19:58] <scientes> ghismo, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[19:58]  * sproingie just runs vanilla debian on his servers now since that's what his host offered
[19:59] <scientes> ghismo, however it doesnt mean it will fix anything, custom installed packages can break with updates like ahppened with you and are likely to be resolved by upgrades, you should reinstall all custom installed packages from a newer version
[19:59] <sproingie> diffred: right-click it and unmount it
[19:59] <diffred> sproingie: it says I can't i'm not root
[19:59] <frfr1> Enter text here...hi
[20:00] <ghismo> i see...
[20:00] <sproingie> diffred: if you unmount it as root, then the icon should disappear
[20:00] <piklesonfire> diffred, "sudo umount /path/to/mount"
[20:00] <diffred> sproingie: I've tried to do it in terminal with sudo but it doesn't appear when I do an "ls"
[20:00] <sproingie> not sure where a .iso would be mounted
[20:00] <cr4z3d> quick question where do files downloaded from apt-get upgrade go?
[20:00] <diffred> piklesonfire: le'ts see if I get it
[20:00] <scientes> ghismo, or at least the ones that are broken
[20:00] <captainc> I left my computer running for a short while and came back to find it had logged out and all my programs were shut down (maybe it restarted). How can I best investigate what happened? What log files are relevant?
[20:00] <vladtsepesh1985> i guys how can i change ubuntu themes???
[20:01] <sproingie> if you mount something through the gui, you sure should be able to unmount it that way
[20:01] <dijenerate> hi all
[20:01] <sproingie> if not i'd sure call it a bug
[20:01] <darkvertex> gaintsura: the rules seems fine. how about routes and default gateways on boyj the linux box and the windows one?

[20:01] <Linux-Lover> hello ubuntu ppl i need help please
[20:01] <rob> I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and I'm having problems with my 2.1 speakers on my 5.1 sound card. The problem is that the sub strength is really weak but adjustable. I have already turned the LFE to max and assured it was not muted. Sound Capture is set as PulseAudio Sound Server. ICEnsemble ICE1724 (Alsa mixer) seems to be controlling the volume. How can I make the SUB stronger?
[20:01] <rob>  My theory is that the sound card is treating the speakers as 2.0 instead of 2.1? But I don't know cause I'm a linux noob
[20:01] <piklesonfire> hi dijenerate
[20:01] <vladtsepesh1985> please help me
[20:01] <ghismo> scientes...i don't think to be able to solve these problems...i'm just hoping to be luckier with 8.10
[20:01] <piklesonfire> Linux-Lover, we'll give it our best ;p

[20:02] <cr4z3d> quick question where do files downloaded from apt-get upgrade go?
[20:02] <sproingie> captainc: last time that happened it was the screensaver was set to lock the screen, and the lock occasionally fails and crashes X
[20:02] <dijenerate> I have a mobile PC with Ati X1200 and AMD Turion X2 TL-56 processor
[20:02] <darkvertex> gaintsura: oops, *both
[20:02] <sproingie> captainc: were you back at the login screen?
[20:02] <ghismo> can i pass to 8.10 using snaptic or something like that?
[20:02] <captainc> scientes: yes I was
[20:02] <Linux-Lover> what's that way to run paltalk under ubuntu it is the only remain thing makes me still use windows
[20:02] <dijenerate> I have no problems if running fglrx on it's own

[20:03] <dijenerate> but the second I use the powernow-k8 modules with it
[20:03] <captainc> scientes: i'm looking at syslog, cant find a restart entry

[20:03] <rob>  My theory is that the sound card is treating the speakers as 2.0 instead of 2.1? But I don't know cause I'm a linux noob
[20:03] <dijenerate> it's as unstable as windows
[20:03] <vladtsepesh1985> there is a tutorial???

[20:05] <hwilde> dijenerate, we cannot follow you pressing enter all the time
[20:05] <dijenerate> should have known
[20:05] <sproingie> scientes: life would be better if everyone used irssi :)
[20:05] <distefam> vladtsepesh1985: You first have to install themes before you can change them. After you download them drag the archive file into the theme manager then you can apply the new theme
[20:05] <sproingie> my favorite irssi feature is it nags you if you accidentally (or otherwise) paste in a lot of lines
[20:05] <cr4z3d> hwilde: do you by any chance knwo how to change that to a different location? could a symlink to a ddifferent partition work?

[20:05] <sproingie> you'd think xchat would be a lot of things that aren't broken
[20:05] <scientes> hwilde, you just have to custom turn it on
[20:05] <sproingie> if you didn't know xchat
[20:05] <baddog> hello, how can I update a single package (gcc) with apt-get ?
[20:06] <scientes> sproingie, hey stop speaking down on it xchat is awesome

[20:07] <NicEXE> where ever (including firefox) I use this link --> http://rapidshare.com in Linux it will never work. It will only work if I change it to http://www.rapidshare.com ... how can I fix that issue?
[20:07] <hwilde> cr4z3d, change your mount point of /var in /etc/fstab
[20:08] <afancy> hwilde: but it doesnt solve the problem
[20:08] <afancy> Hi, Does anybody know how to make the virtualBox support USB ?
[20:08] <hwilde> afancy, the point was to ask in #vbox
[20:08] <zsquareplusc> afancy: you use the propietary version?
[20:08] <distefam> vlad, you need to download the GTK2 version of those themes
[20:08] <rob> or any acknowledgment really either?
[20:08] <diffred> how can I delete a file in a read-only filesystem!!!???
[20:08] <distefam> vladtsepesh1985:
[20:08] <lilalo> hola?
[20:08] <rob> very helpful community
[20:08] <piklesonfire> afancy, get the non-opensource version from the vbox site
[20:09] <afancy> piklesonfire: yes, I have used the Sun's Virtualbox
[20:09] <NicEXE> where ever (including firefox) I use this link --> http://rapidshare.com in Linux it will never work. It will only work if I change it to http://www.rapidshare.com ... how can I fix that issue?
[20:09] <hwilde> rob, check the impedence on your sub wiring
[20:09] <scientes_irssi> how do i hide join/parts in irssi?
[20:09] <afancy> piklesonfire: but i don't know how to make it support the USB
[20:09] <darkvertex> gaintsura: from windows try: ping www.google.com or some other site. did you get replys?
[20:09] <sproingie> rob: i didn't see your question.  if you hadn't noticed, there's a lot of traffic here.  i did see a lot of your bellyaching though.  good impression.
[20:09] <zsquareplusc> afancy: "usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0" in /etc/fastab helped here
[20:09] <rob> remove the read-only attribute i'd imagine but i'm a noob
[20:09] <distefam>  I am a bio student and the built in spellcheck keeps underlining common biology terms (ones that OSX was able to recognize) does anyone know whether there is a way to add a biology dictionary or something similar?
[20:09] <piklesonfire> rob, i'm sorry you haven't gotten the help you needed, i read your question, but i don't know much about the issue, so i can't assist, can't say anything for anyone else tho
[20:10] <zsquareplusc> NicEXE: its not your problem, it is a problem of their DNS server.
[20:10] <afancy> ok
[20:10] <dijenerate> anyone here using ati graphics and a turion on a portable?
[20:10] <afancy> zsquareplusc:

[20:10] <rob> My questions have been paragraphs like this I'm not hitting enter a million times can someone help me? I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and I'm having problems with my 2.1 speakers on my 5.1 sound card. The problem is that the sub strength is really weak but adjustable. I have already turned the LFE to max and assured it was not muted. Sound Capture is set as PulseAudio Sound Server. ICEnsemble ICE1724 (Alsa mixer) seems to be controlling the volume. How c
[20:10] <rob> an I make the SUB stronger?
[20:10] <rob>   My theory is that the sound card is treating the speakers as 2.0 instead of 2.1? But I don't know cause I'm a linux noob
[20:10] <FloodBot1> rob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:11] <NicEXE> if I try to use that link --> http://rapidshare.com under windows XP using virtual box it will work without problems
[20:11] <sproingie> could easily be it's treating it as stereo and no sub
[20:11] <vladtsepesh1985> for example how can i install this??? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta+(LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-)?content=42697
[20:11] <cr4z3d> hwilde: any other directories you suggest i move other than var? i'm goign to repartition soon
[20:11] <NicEXE> where ever (including firefox) I use this link --> http://rapidshare.com in Linux it will never work. It will only work if I change it to http://www.rapidshare.com ... how can I fix that issue?
[20:11] <NicEXE> if I try to use that link --> http://rapidshare.com under windows XP using virtual box it will work without problems
[20:11] <FloodBot1> NicEXE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:12] <rob> i am not flooding i am simple putting everything in one paragraph to make it more understandable.
[20:12] <hwilde> cr4z3d, well if you filled up /var I would say move that one...   or move /home
[20:12] <rob> nioce bot
[20:12] <Uuu> rob: take it easy, it's just a stupid bot ;]
[20:12] <bastaaaaa> Does any1 know, if I do /etc/init.d/gdm stop && killall gdm from them tty1 (ctr+alt+f1?) will that kill my gparted that I have currently running?

[20:13] <Mez> rob: it seems a little trigger happy today
[20:13] <sproingie> ifup <interface>
[20:13] <bastaaaaa> down
[20:13] <distefam> vladtsepesh1985: after you download that, it should place a file that ends in .tar.gz on your desktop. Open the theme manager and drag that file on your desktop into the area containing the various themes
[20:13] <rob> yeah
[20:13] <eseven73> ty
[20:13] <piklesonfire> eseven73, sudo ifdown [interface]
[20:13] <sproingie> should use ifup and not ifconfig up
[20:13] <Deepsouth> Need Help I upgraded to 8.10 last week and it would not recognize my eth0 so i had to do a fresh install of 8.04 I would like to go to 8.10 but if eth0 problem can't be fixed I don't know.  Running AMD 64 live 360GB hd nvidia graphics in a HP slimline
[20:13] <sproingie> ifup usually runs more scripts
[20:13] <Uuu> bastaaaaa: yes, it probably will since it runs on X, which is going to be off ;>
[20:13] <diffred> Please I'm going crazy!!! how I delete files in a read-only file system!!!
[20:13] <rob> can't figure out this sound problem no one can help
[20:13] <darkvertex> gaintsura: from windows try: tracert <IP_ADDRESS> (which is one of google sites)/ what does it say? where did it start to reply with asterisks?
[20:14] <bastaaaaa> Uuu : damn it :p
[20:14] <kdubois1> diffred: its probably not mounted right
[20:14] <Windstone> im having sound problem to - no sound at all??    can any1 help?
[20:14] <rob> doesn't even seem to be that big of a problem but no one has the answer
[20:14] <NicEXE> where ever (including firefox) I use this link --> http://rapidshare.com in Linux it will never work. It will only work if I change it to http://www.rapidshare.com ... how can I fix that issue?

[20:14] <gaintsura> darkvertex: interesting... its goin right a long, at hop 15+ now
[20:14] <rob> i've checked forum after forum
[20:15] <gipsy> hello
[20:15] <zsquareplusc> NicEXE: then dont use that link. why is iot so important for you?
[20:15] <darkvertex> gaintsura: did tracert went past <IP_ADDRESS> ok?
[20:15] <Uuu> bastaaaaa: I don't know, maybe gparted uses a daemon that is not connected to the X windows system? But I suppose that it is not safe to experiment if running gparted...
[20:15] <pantsman> hi, how can I list my X displays?
[20:15] <rob> destroyed my sound screwing with the edit /.pulse/default.pa thing
[20:15] <gaintsura> darkvertex: yep
[20:15] <piklesonfire> NicEXE, have you tried using that url in opera? it works fine for me?
[20:15] <Deepsouth> Need Help I upgraded to 8.10 last week and it would not recognize my eth0 so i had to do a fresh install of 8.04 I would like to go to 8.10 but if eth0 problem can't be fixed I don't know.  Running AMD 64 live 360GB hd nvidia graphics in a HP slimline
[20:15] <gipsy> my broadcom wireless card is not working ...
[20:16] <sproingie> NicEXE: i suspect that's rapidshare's problem, maybe they're screwing up redirects for people on browsers they don't detect
[20:16] <nbeebo> !turkish
[20:16] <dreamy> info about the dri project
[20:16] <bastaaaaa> Uuu: yeah I agree :o I'll just have to wait another 1.5h
[20:16] <sproingie> rapidshare is about a hundred tons of fail anyway
[20:16] <Uuu> good luck ;p
[20:16] <distefam> I'm using an nvidia driver. It recognizes my external monitor but I have to detect displays to get it working. Is there a way to automatically have twinview start when an external monitor is plugged in?
[20:17] <darkvertex> gaintsura: then the "host not found" message might be due to unset dns in the windows box
[20:17] <gaintsura> yeah, I didn't specify dns on the windows box, should the primary be pointed to my linux box IP?
[20:17] <vladtsepesh1985> i have download the file....after unrar it...i have a lot of folder...and the theme manager doesn't see it beacause the theme manager accept only "theme package" how can i do???
[20:18] <distefam> vladtsepesh1985: don't unrar it
[20:18] <darkvertex> gaintsura: set it to your ISP dns, unless you have also set up dns (bind9) in the linux box
[20:18] <piklesonfire> vladtsepesh1985, you use the compressed file as the install file
[20:18] <gaintsura> which I have not....
[20:19] <gaintsura> brb
[20:19] <vladtsepesh1985> i try....
[20:19] <distefam> vladtsepesh1985: as I said earlier, simply drag the compressed file onto theme manager
[20:19] <omars> any body having a problem with intrepid 64 bit? the system hangs regularly and its performance is worse than hardy...
[20:19] <piklesonfire> vladtsepesh1985, exactly what distefam said buddy
[20:19] <gaintsura> darkvertex: where can I find what my ISP's dns servers are?
[20:19] <frfr9> hi all
[20:19] <ndube> darkvertex, you could always use <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:19] <piklesonfire> omars, i had an issue, it was clocksource, check your system log for any messages regarding hpet please?
[20:20] <vladtsepesh1985> ok it works but the "windows bar color" is always the same why???
[20:20] <darkvertex> gaintsura: look it up from the setting in your linux box?
[20:20] <DiiPhantom> how do i install UT3 in ubuntu?
[20:20] <omars> piklesonfire, how do i check the system log :)
[20:20] <distefam> "windows bar color"?
[20:20] <frfr9> any tits want get it ?
[20:20] <gaintsura> what setting? I know there is one, but what is it? or the command
[20:20] <piklesonfire> omars, using a gui buntu or server type?
[20:21] <gaintsura> nvm
[20:21] <darkvertex> ndube: I'm unfamiliar with thode ips. what are they?
[20:21] <eseven73> i did a noob thing and used tasksel to install LAMP, but in the process it removed xubuntu and a few other things, is there a way to recover? somehow it deleted all my network stuff too so i cant just 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu' is there a way to do it with the live CD or something?
[20:21] <ndube> they are the universal dns servers
[20:21] <ndube> no restrictions on who can use them
[20:21] <distefam> does anyone know if it is possible to download special dictionaries for spellcheck, for instance CS or bio terms?
[20:22] <piklesonfire> omars, if you're using a gui buntu (standard ubuntu) [menu] -> system -> administration -> system log
[20:22]  * gaintsura can has a w000t thanks darkvertex!!!!!!!!
[20:22] <darkvertex> ndube: wow ... I never knew yhay :(
[20:22]  * gaintsura does a little shuck and jive
[20:22] <ndube> np
[20:22] <darkvertex> *that
[20:23] <eseven73> i did a noob thing and used tasksel to install LAMP, but in the process it removed xubuntu and a few other things, is there a way to recover? somehow it deleted all my network stuff too so i cant just 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu' is there a way to do it with the live CD or something?
[20:23] <frfr9> any woman want to know real man
[20:24]  * gaintsura roflz
[20:24] <piklesonfire> frfr9, not appropriate for this channel
[20:24] <zsquareplusc> eseven73: with the live cd? "chroot" to the install and run apt-get could work
[20:24] <Slart> frfr9: oh my.. that's so wrong that it's just.. wow.. just go away.. please
[20:24] <eseven73> zsquareplusc: chroot?
[20:24] <Marky> Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate network manager for Ubuntu 8.10 that I could download and install on a system currently unable to connect to the internet?
[20:24] <theshadow> is there a documented standard for creating scripts that live in /etc/init.d
[20:24] <theshadow> ?
[20:24] <distefam> Marky: wicd
[20:24] <mphill> theshadow: yes
[20:25] <afancy> zsquareplusc: Hi, I have added in my fstab, but it still cannot support USB
[20:25] <Marky> distefam: I'll google it.
[20:25] <theshadow> mphill: excellent. Can I get a link  to it?
[20:25] <sinbox> eseven73, you could add the CD as a source and do the reinstall from there
[20:25] <zsquareplusc> eseven73: used to run progrms with an other "/", so it runs with the settings of your harddisk and not your cd. try "man chroot" for more info
[20:25] <mphill> look at /etc/init.d/skeleton
[20:25] <zsquareplusc> afancy: you did a mount -a? (needed to 1st time, alternatively reboot)
[20:25] <mphill> theshadow: thats the template
[20:25] <Windstone> hello=)   im having some problem with my sound - i just got it to work but its very low volume..   how do i fix that and how do i get my 5.1 system to work? -------------------------------
[20:26] <mphill> theshadow: although if you wanted to be a pimp playa you could use upstart
[20:26] <theshadow> mphill: forgive me... upstart?
[20:26] <afancy> zsquareplusc: why need to mount? My host: Ubuntu, Winxp in VirtualBox
[20:26] <piklesonfire> windstone have you tried alsamixer in the terminal?
[20:26] <mphill> theshadow: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[20:27] <theshadow> mphill: ty
[20:27] <zsquareplusc> afancy: the entry in fstab is activated with the mount command. and virtualbox wants to use that usbfs
[20:27] <pantsman> hi, how can I stop my ubuntu box losing wireless connectivity when I log out of GNOME?
[20:27] <Marky> distefam: I'm having a lil trouble finding where to download it. wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php only seems to give instructions for installing it live on a system connected to the internet. I need to download it on this system and then transfer it to a system which is unable to connect.
[20:27] <eseven73> yea sinbox i tried that it just tells me i need to run dpkg --configure -a, but then when i do that it gives other errors, if i reinstall totally fresh is there a way to keep my /home? i managed to back up /home to an external drive
[20:27] <mphill> theshadow: init.d is easy to get script to interact with, should be straight forward with the skeleton template
[20:28] <frfr9> iam 30y m big male looking for real woman

[20:28] <macjason0607> any ideas ?
[20:28] <Uuu> wtf
[20:28] <darkvertex> gaintsura: so if there is no prob tracing to legitimate ip(s) and with dns setting could get you to ping named sites, then you should be able to use the windows box as client and linux as ICS
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Uuu Please dont swear even in shorthand
[20:28] <ndube> can a channel operator please kick or ban frfr9
[20:28] <cr4z3d> what's teh best way to find the biggest files or directories on your system?
[20:28] <piklesonfire> frfr9, dude, this is a support channel for technical issues, not a place to get your mac on. please leave or ask for help
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ndube already done look up
[20:29] <ndube> nice
[20:29] <ndube> thanks
[20:29] <Slart> piklesonfire: if that wasn't a call for help, I don't know what is ;)
[20:29] <LjL> ndube, he was muted just after he said that
[20:29] <eseven73> lol Slart
[20:29] <ndube> how does one become a channel operator anyways?
[20:29] <piklesonfire> Slart, haha, true true
[20:29] <pantsman> ndube, by asking regularly!
[20:29] <ndube> nice
[20:29] <[empire]> hah
[20:29] <Jack_Sparrow> pantsman That will never work

[20:29] <omars> hey guys i am having a huge problem, my system keeps on hanging i've just tried to open the system log and i couldnt :(.. i am using intrepid 64 bit
[20:29] <distefam> Marky: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=194573&package_id=229460
[20:30] <distefam> Marky: download the deb
[20:30] <Marky> Thank you, distefam  :)
[20:30] <pantsman> Jack_Sparrow, you *do* realise I'm being sarcastic, right?
[20:30] <Slart> omars: couldn't open the syslog? "tail /var/log/syslog" doesn't work? error messages?
[20:30] <chn_boy> hi all, I have a printer... but I don't know where it is attached... So, How can I know where this device has been attached?
[20:30] <distefam> Marky: no problem
[20:30] <piklesonfire> omars, check the syslogs man [menu] system -> administration -> system log
[20:30] <MetalliMyers> can you see my message?
[20:30] <Uuu> Jack_Sparrow: OK,  sorry all ;)

[20:30] <LjL> !es | Peregring_Lok0oo
[20:30]  * Marky is restarting and loading Ubuntu now
[20:30] <MetalliMyers> thanks
[20:30] <pantsman> Jack_Sparrow, that's what they all see when my razor-sharp wit goes over their heads
[20:30] <MetalliMyers> testing a client
[20:30] <pantsman> see=say
[20:30] <chn_boy> hi all, I have a printer... but I don't know where it is attached... So, How can I know where this device has been attached?
[20:31] <eseven73> is there a way to restore my /home? i backed it up to an external USB hdd, and i need to reinstall ubuntu,
[20:31] <Slart> MetalliMyers: I think there is a test channel.. it even offers some automatic messages and stuff.. try #test
[20:31] <LjL> eseven73: sure, you just copy it back and then reset the permissions
[20:31] <afancy> zsquareplusc: do u know why?
[20:31] <Slart> eseven73: afaik you can just copy the files back
[20:31] <sinbox> eseven73, if you have your  home dir backed up you should be ble to just put it back there after a reinstall, but then if it's backed-up after your problem then it might not be the best idea, you'll probably want to restore it selectively, not something I've ever done personally
[20:31] <dr_willis> eseven73,  depends on how you backed it up.. If you just copied it to USB,.,. then after you install.. copy it back.  You may need to fix the permission/ownership of the dir/files
[20:31] <eseven73> LjL: reset the permissions to what exactly?
[20:31] <darkvertex> gaintsura: the setting in linux is at /etc/resolv.conf
[20:32] <LjL> eseven73: well, i meant the ownership actually, more than the permissions - to make it match the new installation's user
[20:32] <piklesonfire> eseven73, to your user as the owner with 755 permissions
[20:32] <eseven73> ok ty guys
[20:32] <zsquareplusc> afancy: why what? is usbfs listed in the output when you run "mount"?
[20:32] <chn_boy> hi all, I have a printer... but I don't know where it is attached... So, How can I know where this device has been attached?
[20:33] <NotADJ> !jp > NotADJ
[20:33] <dr_willis> chn_boy,  where? How is it plugged in?  follow the cable.. USB most likely...
[20:33] <badawi> chn_boy: u do realize how weird u're question is right? :/
[20:33] <chn_boy> parallel port
[20:33] <badawi> follow the wire
[20:33] <hersoy> !ip hersoy
[20:33] <afancy> zsquareplusc: this the output when i run mount: usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devgid=1001,devmode=664)
[20:33] <nikin> hi. I want to ise qemu to havea running backup of the system.. if i know right dd-ing the harddrive will do the trick... but theproblm is that not all the harddriveis full with partitions.. and i want to backup the drive without the empty spacewith dd
[20:33] <hersoy> !ip > hersoy
[20:33] <chn_boy> dr_willis: parallel port
[20:34] <zsquareplusc> afancy: that looks good. and when you restart vbox it still gives you the warning?
[20:34] <slayton> is it possible to copy from Dir A to Dir B but not to copy existing files?
[20:34] <dr_willis> chn_boy,  For my parallel port printers. the printer config tool saw/configured them automatically. Run the  gnome printer config tool and see what it sees..   It may be in the pull down menus
[20:34] <piklesonfire> guys i'm out, i'll be on later this evening for the late night assists peace out
[20:35] <afancy> zsquareplusc: My host is Ubuntu 8.10, In the vb is Winxp.
[20:35] <chn_boy> dr_willis: is there any way to know where the address of /dev/.... about my printer??
[20:35] <afancy> zsquareplusc: now in the Winxp, it still cannot find the USB
[20:35] <zsquareplusc> afancy: you may need to change the "gui" part in fstab. the correct group number is output with: "grep vboxusers /etc/group"
[20:35] <cdecarlo> when does support for fiesty stop?
[20:36] <dr_willis> chn_boy,  check dmesg output.. I got a praallel printer on this machine.. but not in linux right now.
[20:36] <zsquareplusc> !eol > cdecarlo
[20:36] <Uuu> !eol > Uuu
[20:36] <dr_willis> chn_boy,  when i plugged mine in the first time - the  thing even auto-detected/installed it.
[20:36] <zsquareplusc> Uuu: you can also /msg ubottu  :-)
[20:36] <nbeebo> Does anyone know if there is gonna be any program that supports the new online service Spotify? www.spotify.com
[20:36] <Uuu> yeah, ubottu said me that ;)
[20:36] <afancy> zsquareplusc: vboxusers:x:128:afancy   is it the number 128 ?
[20:37] <chn_boy> dr_willis: ok2... I will try... thx for your advice
[20:37] <nikin> hi. I want to ise qemu to havea running backup of the system.. if i know right dd-ing the harddrive will do the trick... but theproblm is that not all the harddriveis full with partitions.. and i want to backup the drive without the empty spacewith dd. Any ideaas howto do that?
[20:37] <unixSnob> aptitude -y ... answers "y", as expected, but it does not answer "yes" to the more serious questions.  How can I compell a "yes" answer for non-interactive runs?
[20:37] <zsquareplusc> afancy: yes. so you have to replace 1001 with 128.
[20:37] <kate__> hi
[20:37] <nbeebo> hello
[20:37] <slayton> !hi
[20:38] <lilalo> me ves?
[20:38] <omars> slart, i used the command it gave me it showed me some info about the wireless connection, i tried to open the file but its not opening
[20:38] <lilalo> yo claro que te veo
[20:38] <afancy> zsquareplusc: thanks a lot, I leave a moment to restart. I will be back to tell u if it works
[20:38] <zsquareplusc> afancy: wait
[20:39] <koshar1> is partimage in the 8.10 repos?
[20:39] <zsquareplusc> afancy: umount usbfs;mount -a    should do it
[20:39] <afancy> zsquareplusc: ok
[20:39] <arrenlex> !info partimage | koshar1
[20:39] <Slart> omars: ok.. what "tail" does is that it prints out the last 10 or so lines from a file.. you actually saw the last 10 lines from the syslog.. which might have been something about wireless connections or something
[20:40] <Uuu> nikin: maybe try to make instead it qcow2 or something similar - these images are as big as much data they contain...
[20:40] <Slart> omars: if you want to open the file in some kind of editor I'd recommend gedit.. so run this "gedit /var/log/syslog"
[20:41] <koshar1> arrenlex i have universe and multiverse enables and no partimage;-(
[20:42] <omars> Slart, i tried gedit i got "failed to allocate<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes"
[20:42] <calc> OOo 3.0.0-6ubuntu0intrepid1 actually uploading now to the buildds
[20:42] <arrenlex> koshar1: can you run "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin all the output of that command? Also, can you confirm "apt-cache show partimage" says "no packages found"?
[20:42] <hackwins> hello i have a problem qith my asus eee and eeebuntu when start eeebuntu my sd card mount automount how can i order no automount? THANKS
[20:42] <Slart> omars: hmm.. sounds like something is not quite right.. have you tried running memtest?
[20:42] <zsquareplusc> omars: wow. how big is your syslog file?  (ls -lh /var/log/syslog)
[20:43] <arrenlex> Slart: That's 1.7GB.
[20:43] <Slart> arrenlex: just noticed..
[20:43] <koshar1> arrenlex odd it was installed, however doesnt show up in the synaptic panel. anyway cheers arrellex
[20:43]  * kate__ destroyed her virtualbox VM
[20:43] <Slart> omars: on the other hand, that's quite a lot of memory.. hang on
[20:43] <omars> 5.8 Gig :D
[20:43] <omars> is that right :S
[20:43] <omars> omg
[20:43] <hackwins> hello i have a problem qith my asus eee and eeebuntu when start eeebuntu my sd card mount automount how can i order no automount? THANKS
[20:44] <zsquareplusc> omars: for a syslog? no that's too large.. maybe look through the file with less find out what it repeats so often
[20:44] <hackwins> how can write in terminal noautomount a device?
[20:45] <hackwins> how can write in terminal noautomount a device?
[20:45] <kevin__> if you want to disable automounting, go to preferences/removable drives and media
[20:45] <Slart> omars: try installing the package pastebinit... then run "tail -n 500 | pastebinit"
[20:46] <Slart> omars: copy paste the url it prints out here
[20:46] <arrenlex> Slart: You should probably specify the file to tail or he is going to be waiting for that command to terminate for a very long time. :)
[20:47] <Slart> omars: try installing the package pastebinit... then run "tail -n 500 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit"
[20:47] <Slart> omars: last line was wrong..
[20:47] <Slart> arrenlex: I really should get some coffee... thanks again
[20:47] <istvan_> anyone know why ffmpeg -i inputvideo.flv -fs 100 out.flv isn't creating a file that is 100 (mb?) in size? rather it is creating a file that is 0kb size
[20:47] <hackwins> kevin__: how can i do in console?
[20:48] <nomike> good evening
[20:48] <kevin__> i don't know
[20:48] <omars> slart, so it should be tail -n 500 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit
[20:48] <omars> ?
[20:48] <nomike> I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a Laptop with an ATI VGA Chip.
[20:48] <Slart> omars: correct.. it will paste the last 500 lines of your system log to a pastebin and give you the url
[20:48] <arrenlex> istvan_: Read the commands output, there is most likely an error there.
[20:48] <abouche1> how do i get thunderbird for hardy
[20:49] <hackwins> kevin__:yes i know the program to mount and configure devices but i dont have space on my harddisk thanks
[20:49] <istvan_> arrenlex: i will check again, but i didn't see any
[20:49] <GaMbi_DK> Hi guys.. Am I paranoid or do my root pass keep changing? I had a linux pro to reset my pass (forgot the old one I thought at first) but now my new pass isnt right too.. two days ago... so Im sure then I havent forgotten the pass(well kinda sure)
[20:49] <nomike> However when I play a video (e.g. mplayer or visualisation in totem) the screen flickers...
[20:49] <omars> Slart, http://pastebin.com/f2e60eae3
[20:49] <GaMbi_DK> also.. if I just forgot the pass.. is there a way to reset it easy? without formating?
[20:49] <nomike> Any Idea what could cause this? (bwt: i use the accelerated propietary driver)
[20:49] <Windstone> anyone from sweden here?
[20:49] <arrenlex> nomike: Try running it as "mplayer -vo x11 <file>" and see if it fixes the problem.
[20:50] <omars> Slart, maybe it can help to tell you that i use eclipse regularly..
[20:50] <arrenlex> nomike: Are you running compiz?
[20:50] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: we dont have a root passoword usually, we use sudo
[20:50] <jokkaa> !ping
[20:50] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, thats the one :P
[20:50] <GaMbi_DK> the pass for sudo
[20:50] <Slart> Windstone: there is a swedish channel somewhere.. #ubuntu-se or something
[20:50] <Slart> !swedish
[20:50] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: with sudo you use your own password
[20:50] <afancy> zsquareplusc: Hi, it still doesnot work http://paste.ubuntu.com/82645/
[20:50] <istvan_> arrenlex: I checked, it seems as though ffmpeg doesn't think that there are any frames...
[20:50] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, yea.. and it is this pass iw forgot
[20:51] <arrenlex> istvan_: Is there an error?
[20:51] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: reboot to recovery mode and use "passwd <username>" in the root shell you get then
[20:51] <istvan_> arrenlex: nope. i'll post some of the output. Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 29.97 (30000/1001)
[20:51] <istvan_> Input #0, flv, from 'combined.flv':
[20:51] <istvan_>   Duration: 00:09:58.7, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A

[20:51] <FloodBot3> istvan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:51] <istvan_> Output #0, flv, to 'out.flv':
[20:52] <apelgate> hi. how do I make <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> to loopback addresses like <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[20:52] <Slart> omars: didn't see anything special in there.. the computer just hangs at random times? not when you do something special?
[20:52] <Niiklas> Hello, if there is anyone that has time to help me please read this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/82646/
[20:52] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, "passwd gambi" I will see an encrypted line (guessing it is the pass)
[20:53] <omars> slart, actually it hangs when i use eclipse for a long time
[20:53] <jokkaa> I have a problem. i have a foreign computer on my wireless network... i need to get it off incase to block it.. how can i ping it out?
[20:53] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, what do I do then? :S
[20:53] <afancy> zsquareplusc: do u have any idea? thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/82645/
[20:54] <arrenlex> istvan_: Pastebin that and share the link, please.
[20:54] <istvan_> arrenlex: here is my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/82647/
[20:55] <zsquareplusc> afancy: that looks fine. i'm running out of ideas :/ the usbfs line works here. and of course enabling USB support in the virtual machine settings
[20:55] <Slart> omars: eclipse has it's share of problems.. none of them should bring the ubuntu box down with it though..
[20:55] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: you have a root shell on that box where you dont know the password?
[20:55] <obst_> show all
[20:56] <arrenlex> istvan_: There is a suspicious lack of mention of units for the -fs switch on the ffmpeg manpage. Out of curiosity, what happens if you tack another two zeros onto that number?
[20:56] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: passwd prints a message, but it should not output anything cryptic
[20:56] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, no.. just remember from early tries..
[20:57] <istvan_> arrenlex: then i get a 117kb file... which is good, but still not what i asked for...
[20:57] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, so go to "recovery mode"  and do "passwd [user]" and what should happen? it should print my pass? :O
[20:57] <afancy> zsquareplusc: in the vm settings is anything that i need to set?
[20:57] <istvan_> arrenlex: 117.6 actually
[20:57] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: no, ask you for a new one.
[20:58] <arrenlex> istvan_: That was with 10000?
[20:58] <omars> Slart, btw the performance if very poor, i used hardy and it was much better
[20:58] <istvan_> arrenlex: it was 10000
[20:58] <netsurf3> guys i'm kinda concerened
[20:58] <zsquareplusc> afancy: i only needed to enable "usb", nothing special.
[20:58] <netsurf3> connecting to localhost at port 80
[20:58] <netsurf3> gives me "it works!" in big letters
[20:59] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, got it.. I see where I did my mistake.. thx allot m8
[20:59] <zsquareplusc> netsurf3: you have installed a web server
[20:59] <arrenlex> istvan_: Does it take suffixes? Try -fs 100K
[20:59] <abouche1> how do i install thunderbird?
[20:59] <arrenlex> istvan_: Actually, try ki instead of K
[20:59] <Slart> omars: have you tried switching java runtimes?
[20:59] <istvan_> arrenlex: nope, gives me a 0k file again
[21:00] <Jack_Sparrow> abouche1 sudo apt-get thunderbird
[21:00] <Slart> abouche1: sudo apt-get install thunderbird.. or just use Add/Remove
[21:00] <netsurf3> zsquareplusc, ahh i did install php a while ago for a forensics toolkit but didnt think that came with it...
[21:00] <arrenlex> istvan_: this is with both K and ki?
[21:00] <omars> Slart, i did, i was trying to make gwt work but it does not support a 64 bit vm so i had to install a 32 bit vm and use it
[21:01] <abouche1> i tried the command line and synaptic
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !info thunderbird
[21:01] <Teisei> Hi! My girlfriend has had this problem since yesterday: Her mouse clicks buttons automatically even though Mouse settings show that these gestures are not enabled
[21:02] <istvan_> arrenlex: yep, both of em
[21:02] <lajjr> sudo aptitude install thunderbird  to install
[21:03] <abouche1> aptitude?
[21:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lajjr if apt-get fails, aptitude is not likely to work
[21:04] <Jack_Sparrow> abouche1 it must give some error
[21:04] <rose> Hi! How would a little shellscript oneliner look like, that reads stuff from stdin and writes it to stdout? I tried "while read $t; do; echo $t;done" but that doesnt work.
[21:05] <zsquareplusc> rose: cat -
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> rose try /j #bash
[21:06] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, Done :P man that was easy.. I think one of my friends is trying to slap me around.. He was kinda mad becaurse  I put pass so he couldn't install programs and such.. maybe he figgured this trick out too... Is there a way to block root shell? I dont want him to be able to change my pass in 2 min
[21:06] <magicmax> hi guys
[21:06] <GaMbi_DK> sorry for the long text :)
[21:06] <hackwins> # /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0 what i have to do to no automount?
[21:06] <arrenlex> istvan_: It looks like it's not exact. You may have to just play with it until you get under 100k.
[21:06] <hackwins> # /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0                              what i have to do to no automount?
[21:06] <istvan_> arrenlex: ok, thanks!
[21:07] <magicmax> does anyone know how to uninstall a driver completely, not just deactivate
[21:07] <istvan_> arrenlex: what unit do you think it is measuring in? bytes?
[21:07] <arrenlex> istvan_: Hell if I know. It might even be bits.
[21:07] <istvan_> wow, ok thanks!
[21:07] <hackwins> # /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0                              what i have to do to no automount?
[21:07] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: you could remove or password protect the recovery point. however then you might need a live cd to do recovery which is more complex. and with a live cd, you can get at the passwords anyway
[21:08] <digitalfallacy> is kdm slower than gnome ?
[21:08] <OsamaK> There was a way to run program in a specific location. something like "command --option=localname" What would be "option"? I used it for checking GIMP translation.. I guess it works with other programs.
[21:08] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: encrpyted partitions are the only weapon against that :/
[21:08] <magicmax> my wireless network card was working, untill i did an automatic update and now its not working... i have the old driver but it wont let me install it cause it says a newer one is already installed
[21:08] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, yea but I bet he dosnt know.. and even if he dose he dosnt have access to a live CD
[21:08] <arrenlex> digitalfallacy: kdm is a login manager, gnome is a desktop environment.
[21:08] <hackwins> is more lighty gnome than kde
[21:09] <arrenlex> digitalfallacy: If you mean kde, then no, it is not. I have used both and have found both to be very snappy.
[21:09] <digitalfallacy> ya i mean kde
[21:09] <digitalfallacy> not kdm sorry
[21:09] <hackwins> kde requires more memory
[21:09] <hackwins> # /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0                              what i have to do to no automount?
[21:10] <arrenlex> hackwins: really? I've never noticed anything like that. Do you have a source?
[21:10] <digitalfallacy> i am saying so because i just did a fresh of ibex with kde and my laptop is responding slower than it did on gnome
[21:10] <sthomae> hi folks
[21:10] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, Do I remove the "recovery mode" or just the "root shell"?
[21:10] <hackwins> not but i read and experimented whith slow coputers
[21:10] <magicmax> my wireless network card was working, untill i did an automatic update and now its not working... i have the old driver but it wont let me install it cause it says a newer one is already installed
[21:11] <digitalfallacy> is it something u also observed ..or it can be the desktop effects are making it look so
[21:11] <zsquareplusc> GaMbi_DK: the root shell only. but the better way would be password protect that entry. i think grub can do that
[21:12] <sthomae> i have a problem here, my sister has ubuntu hoary running, and everytime the "save as..." dialog should show up, the program that started this dialog produces a segfault, what can i do? i have no access to the computer atm, but ill try your hints tomorow
[21:14] <loz> S.O.S, i am going to hang myself with my Ethernet cable, could any one help me with the instalation of a realtek wifi card, i just don't get it, i have searched the web, but to no avail, anyone gemmed up on the case?*
[21:14] <gusto5> okay, first of all
[21:14] <sthomae> loz: not with ubuntu, on gentoo i could help you
[21:15] <smelian> hello please how can i upgrade my source list ?
[21:15] <mphill> loz is it a realtek 2400, 2500, or 2570?
[21:15] <loz> stomae: maybe you could, as there is something that i read about compiling, and that is gentoo's speciality right?
[21:15] <dr_willis> smelian,  upgrade to what exactly?
[21:16] <loz> mphill:Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
[21:16] <loz> that is what lspci come's up with
[21:16] <loz> so the card is recognized
[21:16] <mphill> loz: have you tried to the ndiswrapper route?
[21:16] <GaMbi_DK> zsquareplusc, got it.. I got allot of stuff to work with here :) thx alot for the help m8! cya around
[21:16] <loz> mpill, well, not to sure how it works
[21:17] <smelian> dr_willis : i just install ubuntu but when i go to synaptic i dont find some prog like awn - emesene - compizconfig ( and in my home i can fine them im using ubuntu 8.10
[21:17] <sthomae> loz: install ndiswrapper, use it to load xp driver, tadaaa
[21:17] <loz> i don't think it's thateasy, as i have the amd 64 version
[21:18] <ompaul> !wireless
[21:18] <Hikefu> smelian, you may need to enable additional repositories
[21:18] <Hikefu> !repositories
[21:18] <sthomae> so you need xp64 driver... tadaaa again
[21:18] <mphill> loz:  type: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[21:18] <mphill> loz: get the 64 bit version of the windows driver
[21:18] <magicmax> guys i want to install an older network card driver cause the latest one isnt working, but it wont let me cause it says a newer ones already on, how do i take it off??
[21:19] <smelian> Hikefu: how ?
[21:19] <loz> mphill: on the disk with the drivers i have sevral choices
[21:19] <loz> would it be the x 64?
[21:19] <mphill> loz: I believe so
[21:19] <sthomae> hmmm x64... 64bit, decisions
[21:20] <sthomae> i have a problem here, my sister has ubuntu hoary running, and everytime the "save as..." dialog should show up, the program that started this dialog produces a segfault, what can i do? i have no access to the computer atm, but ill try your hints tomorow
[21:20] <pswii60> Hello, how can I add my bnc details to xchat?
[21:20] <magicmax> blacklist ath_pci
[21:20] <dennda> sthomae: you know hoary is approximately 2000 years old?
[21:20] <pswii60> Also, how can I change the background to a different color?
[21:21] <Hikefu> smelian, there should be something in synaptic or from the gnome panel (system or something)... I don't use gnome, I use openbox. Or, you could just go to a terminal and run gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment various repos.
[21:21] <zsquareplusc> sthomae: hoary? not hardy?
[21:21] <magicmax> guys i want to install an older network card driver cause the latest one isnt working, but it wont let me cause it says a newer ones already on, how do i take it off??
[21:21] <carlf> /wc/
[21:21] <sthomae> oups, yes hardy... i mixed it up as i use it since hoary
[21:21] <Hikefu> could anyone point smelian to the settings area for adding repos in ubuntu -- I'm using openbox and can't remember which menu it's under.
[21:22] <linkmaster03> anyone know why quiteinsane and xsane both hang at startup on "scanning devices"? I can print to my printer, and I have scanned from it many times before.
[21:22] <smelian> Hikefu: thank u man
[21:22] <nbeebo> whats the name of the quake-styled terminal?
[21:22] <pswii60> Hello ??

[21:40] <JFC1993> Hello?
[21:40] <JFC1993> Is any one here good at math?
[21:40] <hackwins> yes
[21:40] <chfwiggum> JFC1993: hit it
[21:40] <pswii60> Okay, I have a  bootable usb with Ubuntu  on it. How come when I disconnect it from my pc, it never saves changes to programs, or even programs I used apt-get to get?
[21:41] <digitalvaldosta> I have an issue with 8.10. When I print anything there is a minute delay. What can I do to fix this? In previous version this was not the case.
[21:41] <zleap> the live cd is live
[21:41] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: because you dont have set up casper-rw or casper-cow
[21:41] <JFC1993> Can any one help me with a triple integral?
[21:41] <zleap> so its designed to forget changes when turned off as they are saved to ram i think
[21:41] <Giraffe> JFC1993: huh?
[21:41] <dr_willis>  Try #homework JFC1993
[21:42] <JFC1993> chfwiggum on orders of integration

[21:42] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: stay on the channel, so that others can help too :-)
[21:42] <hackwins> digitalvaldosta: if you search in google pleaseeee
[21:42] <pswii60> ok
[21:43] <JFC1993> dr_willis I need smart people and the largest collection of then are on the linux chats.
[21:43] <hackwins> digitalvaldosta: nice to talk with you
[21:43] <digitalvaldosta> for what, hackwins
[21:43] <pswii60> How can I set up "casper-rw or casper-cow"?
[21:43] <eseven73> apt is hanging when trying to install dokuwiki, how do i reset it? even reboot doesnt help
[21:43] <pswii60> so that everything I do, saves.
[21:43] <Scunizi> digitalvaldosta: try reinstalling the printer/driver.. or maybe a different driver if there is one.
[21:43] <digitalvaldosta> just type in printer delay ubuntu 8.10? hackwins
[21:43] <hackwins> for your problem with kubuntu 8.10 and nvidia

[21:44] <pswii60> zsquareplusc?
[21:44] <dr_willis> I dont even know how you would 'discuss' complex math on irc.
[21:44] <d1gital> lol willis good point
[21:45] <xat_> does anyone here have an idea of how to create a static /dev setup rather than relying on udev on boot?
[21:45] <hackwins> mmm "problem with nvidia ubuntu 8.10 ubuntu"
[21:45] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[21:45] <xenocampanoli> Does anyone ever use the #ubuntu-server group?
[21:46] <pswii60> Thanks zsquareplusc
[21:46] <sthomae> i have a problem here, my sister has ubuntu hardy running, and everytime the "save as..." dialog should show up, the program that started this dialog produces a segfault, what can i do? i have no access to the computer atm, but ill try your hints tomorow
[21:46] <guntbert> JFC1993: if I read right and you've got a math problem: the people in #math are really helpful
[21:46] <Scunizi> hackwins: you having issues with nvidia drivers?
[21:47] <Bryan> I know this is rather lame, but whats the command to display your hardware (IE how much ram you have, how fast your cpu is. Via the command line)
[21:48] <sthomae> Bryan: df, free, htop, top....
[21:48] <Scunizi> Bryan: sudo lshw
[21:48] <Setebos> I have Opera installed and it is set as the preferred browser. Nautilus still has Firefox set to open HTML files. How can I change this to Opera?

[21:48] <Bryan> Scunizi, thank you!
[21:48] <Bryan> that was it.
[21:48] <Scunizi> Bryan: np
[21:49] <zsquareplusc> JFC1993: maxima ;-)
[21:49] <pswii60> zsquareplusc: If I already have a bootable usb drive, can I just download something that'll auto save to it? Or do  I have to recreate the whole usb drive?
[21:49] <hateball> Setebos⡶ Rightclick a html file and choose preferences
[21:50] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: one of the methods involve that you make a partition for the persistent things -> gparted. but maybe you can also make a file and edit the settings in isolinux.cfg. i've not done it myself.
[21:50] <Setebos> hateball: Okay, I got it. Thanks
[21:51] <pswii60> Anybody know what to edit?
[21:51] <henriker> Does anybody know what may be wrong if grub reads the hd fine, but the ubuntu alternate installer cannot read the hd at all?
[21:51] <hackwins> pswii60:edit what
[21:51] <eseven73> ur
[21:51] <d1gital> why would my X server crash when i attempt to use Ion but have no problem with GNOME?
[21:51] <DrHalan> hey, why do i have to be root to bind to port 40?
[21:51] <darrylb> Is there anyway to run kernel 2.6.25+ on 8.04?
[21:51] <methods> my wireless driver is not loading during boot
[21:51] <eseven73> how do i change the default timeout of sudo from its 15 mins to something like 1 hour?
[21:52] <pswii60> hackwins, isolinux.cfg so it can save automatically everything that I download/change.
[21:52] <hackwins> digital: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/common-problems-and-solutions-for-nvidia-restricted-drivers-after-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-upgrade.html
[21:52] <slayton> I can't burn cd's for some reason... when I try to burn with gnomebaker I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/82658/
[21:52] <darrylb> Is there anyway to run kernel 2.6.25+ on 8.04 without compiling a custom kernel? Or are you stuck with 2.6.24? (Sorry, should have been specific the first time).
[21:52] <retour> need help with mkudffs and DVD-RAM to format it to full capacity
[21:52] <Balau> DrHalan: yes, because the port is < 1000
[21:53] <DrHalan> Balau, so does apache run as root too?
[21:53] <dr_willis> eseven73,  its mentioned in the sudoers man pages I belive.. and at many google sites on 'sudo security timeout settings'   I forget the exact setting
[21:53] <Bart_> Can someone tell me how to hide the Lock screen and switch usser option
[21:53] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: it looks like the common method is: move partitions with gparted and make a ext3 partition on the free space and label that partition "casper-rw". the cd contents can be left on a 750MB fat partition
[21:53] <eseven73> thx dr_willis
[21:54] <d1gital> hackwins: none of those seem to describe my problem.. and i;m running 7.10
[21:54] <Balau> DrHalan I can't check but I suppose that it runs as root, not sure if you can do otherwise
[21:55] <pswii60> zsquareplusc, does it matter fat32 or 16?
[21:55] <hackwins> sorry im confused whit other user
[21:55] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: i dont think so. unless fat16 cant format 750MB. but if you already have the stick, just shrink the current partition
[21:55] <methods> what chapter in the handbook talks about managing modules at boot time ?
[21:56] <DrHalan> Balau, thing is i am writing my own little web frontend but i would like the app not to run as root. do you know if there is maybe a way to make port 40 a "speical case"?
[21:56] <guntbert> DrHalan: most servers are *started* as root, bind to their port and then give up the privileges
[21:57] <mia_tech> EEE
[21:57] <MetalliMyers> hai U guise
[21:57] <pswii60> zsquareplusc, could you check your pm for a min please?
[21:57] <MetalliMyers> I'm here and ready tbh
[21:57] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: i don't use xchat ;-)
[21:57] <pswii60> What do you use?
[21:58] <zsquareplusc> chatzilla
[21:58] <pswii60> oh
[21:58] <_cb> I want to do a fresh install of 8.1 on top of 8.04 but keep all my data and settings. I know too do dpkg –get-selections > mypackages.txt
[21:58] <_cb> sudo dpkg –set-selections < mypackages.txt sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade to install the applications. I know to copy my home folder.
[21:58] <_cb> What to do I do to insure my program seetings come across? Ie So I don't have to set evolution?
[21:58] <pswii60> chatzilla > xchat?
[21:58] <MetalliMyers> http://www.espn.com
[21:58] <jokkaa> All my folders with . in front of their name, wich are supposed to be hidden.. are visible.. how can i get them invisible again?
[21:58] <guntbert> DrHalan: why must it be port 40 anyway?
[21:58] <DrHalan> guntbert: cause that is the http port isn't it?
[21:58] <zsquareplusc> _cb: backup /etc too for system wide settings. user settings are in your home
[21:58] <Jack_Sparrow> MetalliMyers What was the purpose of that link?
[21:59] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: i don't know, just use what suits best for you.
[21:59] <d1gital> that was really wierd.. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf crashed X. does that even make sense? gedit usually works...
[21:59] <pswii60> isn't the command sudo apt-get install chatzilla?
[22:00] <_cb> zsquareplusc, Are /etc and home the only 2 folders I need to be concerned with?
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> d1gital running a gui ap under sudo is a very very bad idea.
[22:00] <zsquareplusc> pswii60: its a firefox extension. but there is also a version in the repos afaik. you can search with "apt-cache search"
[22:00] <d1gital> jack_sparrow why?
[22:00] <guntbert> DrHalan: no, http is on 80 as standard, but you can point your browser to any port you want as in http://my.server.pvt:1400, which would use port 1400
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> d1gital If you have made a habit of that in the past, it could be a source of problems
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[22:00] <saurabh> hello
[22:00] <dr_willis> jokkaa,  most file managers have a hide/show hidden files setting. they are not really hidden.. they are just 'not shown' by specific apps as a common way to clean things up
[22:00] <porter1> Does anyone here know how to get my ipod nano 4g to work with rhythmbox?
[22:01] <nimbus> anyone use an ati radeon 4650 have any tips to reduce the flickering issue?

[22:01] <saurabh> i have removed network manager from ubuntu8.10. now there is problem in shut down wat to do
[22:01] <russell__> what is a good tool to resize my vista partition to give ubuntu more room?
[22:01] <guntbert> DrHalan: you're welcome :)
[22:01] <pswii60> Yeah I'm using xchat now
[22:02] <pswii60> I'm just not seeing where to input bnc info lol
[22:02] <zsquareplusc> _cb: hm.. /var also contains "changing" information. such as /var/www and some apps may have some data there. but maybe you can live without copying that one when you do a fresh setup as you described above
[22:02] <saurabh> i have removed network manager from ubuntu8.10. now there is problem in shut down wat to do
[22:02] <dr_willis> russell__,  vista has its own tools to resiz vista partitions.. but you may need to use gparted to expand the linux partition.
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> pswii60   /j #xchat
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !repeat >  aurabh
[22:02]  * dr_willis has no idea what 'bnc' info is.

[22:02] <shadowwulf> i have a few games like trackballs and extreme tux racer that when they go to full screen .. i cant see it and i get a out of range or input error depending on LCD type ... is there a way to get them to switch to winodwed mode ?
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> saurabh Please STOP repeating
[22:02] <jokkaa> dr_willis, thx. realy made it for me
[22:02] <saurabh> srry
 perhaps reinstall the tool.. or tell the channel why you removed it..and try to fix the original problem
[22:03] <pswii60> I would really like to save my settings/programs so there on my usb drive everytime I disconnect it
[22:03] <nimbus> Shadowwulf, do you use ati?
[22:03] <pswii60> So I better listen to what zsquareplusc said :P
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> pswii60 look into persistent boot
[22:03] <shadowwulf> nimbus, nvidia
[22:03] <|_steve_|> I've a Logitech webcam with id 046d:08da. I have downloaded gspca-source.  I can't get my audio or video out.  Why?
[22:03] <dr_willis> pswii60,  theres ways to make a persistant usb live-cd type thing. :) in 8.10
[22:04] <nimbus> try disabling compiz before playing a game.
[22:04] <nimbus> See if that helps.
[22:04] <DrHalan> guntbert, if i buy an url somewhere i can also just set it to forward to that port i guess?
[22:04] <pswii60> Yeah, I'm using a bootable usb drive now
[22:04] <pswii60> just nothing saves
[22:04] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[22:04] <shadowwulf> nimbus, how would i do that ?
[22:05] <nimbus> Get "compiz fusion icon" from add programs menu
[22:05] <nimbus> that is the easiest way
[22:05] <guntbert> DrHalan: you cannot buy urls, tell me what you are trying to accomplish
[22:05] <nimbus> then start it. it is under your applications> system tool
[22:05] <|_steve_|> I would like to do webcam with my family.  I have Intrepid
[22:05] <eigma> I'm getting "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6" on apt-get dist-upgrade from Gutsy to Intrepid.. any ideas?
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam
[22:06] <DrHalan> guntbert, i have a little server and wanted to add a web-backend to it
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> eigma You do mean gutsy-hardy then intrepid right
[22:06] <|_steve_|> Jack, I'm a newbie and haven't found an answer in stuff like that
[22:06] <shadowwulf> nimbus, same error ...out of range or input not supported
[22:06] <eigma> ugh, I just realized I'm "skipping" a version.. I'll dist-upgrade to hardy first
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> |_steve_| THen you need to read more carefully
[22:06] <eigma> this server actually had feisty last night, so I want to bring it all the way to Intrpid
[22:07] <nimbus> shadowwulf, did you turn off compiz and switch to metacity?
[22:07] <shadowwulf> nimbus, i did
[22:07] <|_steve_|> I will try
[22:07] <nimbus> not sure then
[22:07] <zsquareplusc> eigma: if its a server you dont want to upgrade every 6 months, stay at hardy and jump from LTS to LTS next time
[22:08] <slavik> bugzilla, where does it keep mailing logs when smtp_debug is enabled?
