[07:58] <strk> Uplink: grep -w CONFIG_SND /boot/config-* # then paste the output
[07:58] <Yachaziel> Jah: LARRY must be your mobile phone. Did you name it larry?
[07:58] <Dr_willis> mulder_,  there ARE .deb packages at the download site. you want to try those. Not the tar.gz
[07:58] <mulder_> Damn ok

[07:59] <james_027> hi all, is there a "must list to do" for fresh ubuntu 804 install?
[07:59] <strk> Uplink: ok, try rebooting, press ESC at the grub menu and select kernel 2.6.20-16-generic
[07:59] <Yachaziel> james_027: Download anything you need from package manager, that's it

[08:00] <james_027> Yachaziel: thanks. how about for optimization?
[08:00] <Yachaziel> james_027: Nope. It works good right off the CD for me. If you want, WINE and maybe kleansweep or something similar.
[08:00] <jah> Yachaziel: nah:( but I disabled that icons are shown on desktop anyway...

[08:03] <killakali408650> uhhh hi
[08:03] <Rainarrow> Hello, why whenever I ping a non-existent ip address in my LAN, I get a "Destination unreachable" message from my localhost?
[08:03] <Rainarrow> $ ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:03] <Rainarrow> PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[08:03] <Rainarrow> From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[08:03] <FloodBot1> Rainarrow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:03] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: Hello!
[08:03] <Rainarrow> like this
[08:03] <Rainarrow> <IP_ADDRESS> is my own ip address
[08:03] <killakali408650> i had sum questions bout ubuntu
[08:04] <killakali408650> im just gettin ready 2 switch to it from windows
[08:04] <strk> about gub, is there a special way to deal with it to avoid messing with ubuntu maintainance of the menu ?
[08:04] <Yachaziel> !ask | killakali408650
[08:04] <strk> basically, I want to change the default kernel to boot (since the new one breaks sound)
[08:04] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: What's up? Just ask and we'll do our best.
[08:04] <strk> should I just swap entries in menu.lst or is there another suggested path ?
[08:04] <killakali408650> since i have a windows vista partition i want to double boot, sooo i just wanted to know how to create a new partition
[08:04] <mulder_> Dr_willis: yeaaaaaaaaaah it worked
[08:05] <killakali408650> like i kno i can shrink vista
[08:05] <killakali408650> is that how you create a new partition?
[08:05] <mulder_> Dr_willis: But still my knowledge of the command line is poor!
[08:05] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: Pop in the CD, install ubuntu, the partition manager will allow you to resize your partitions, then jjust install from there
[08:05] <izzyb_> mulder_: it comes with time :)
[08:05] <killakali408650> ohhh, so i can have dual booting rightt?
[08:05] <usser> james_027, did u restart rhytmbox after installing it/
[08:05] <killakali408650> with the cd
[08:06] <killakali408650> dang, i have to wait for weeks for the cd 2 c ome
[08:06] <killakali408650> come*

[08:06] <noobie> Yachaziel: i'm stuck, how do i mount a linux lvm partition?
[08:06] <james_027> usser: yes ... u mean close and open it again right?
[08:06] <usser> !mp3
[08:06] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: Even without the CD. Just download the image, write it to a CD and do it tonight
[08:06] <mulder_> Dr_Willis: What good book do you guys recommend regarding Ubuntu?
[08:06] <usser> james_027, yea
[08:06] <killakali408650> ohhhhh yaaa lol
[08:06] <killakali408650> 4got bout that
[08:06] <killakali408650> lmao
[08:06] <Dr_willis> mulder_,  get reading then. :) its documented all over the place 'using bash' by oreally is a must have.
[08:06] <Yachaziel> noobie: You're going to need to sell your soul to the devil. = /
[08:06] <izzyb_> !lvm
[08:06] <killakali408650> but if the cd partitions the hd, wouldn't that mess around with some of the data from vista???
[08:07] <Dr_willis> mulder_,  thers dozens of decent books out.  Just gotta start with the beginner guides and start working up I guess.
[08:07] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: I do not think so. It will show what is being used and you canresize around that I think.
[08:07] <noobie> Yachaziel: what?
[08:07] <killakali408650> relly??
[08:07] <Yachaziel> noobie: lol, I was joking. I don't know how to do that.
[08:07] <james_027> usser: rhythmbox says it's playing (you could see the ">" on the side of the song, but the progress bar doesn't move and the time also
[08:07] <Rayvis> Has anyone tried to install WoW using either Wine or Cedega and have it work correctly. I used Cedega and couldn't get it to install at all, then I was able to install it through wine and run it but the graphics were terrible and I also experienced an extremely low framerate. I did everything correctly, followed a couple different guides but can't get it to look right.
[08:07] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: you shrink the windows volume first
[08:07] <usser> james_027, right click on it try to open it with totem see if that'll work
[08:07] <killakali408650> but if i shrink vista on purpose
[08:07] <Dr_willis> killakali408650,  i let vista resize itself and leave a section o the hard drive 'unallocated'  then  i let the installer install to the 'unallocated' part of the drive
[08:07] <izzyb_> killakali408650: resizing the partition is pretty safe.  I do it all the time
[08:07] <noobie>  i need help. i cant boot to hardy. i think i lost grub. i need to restore it. i'm using livecd.....what do i do next?
[08:07] <killakali408650> ohhhh
[08:08] <mulder_> Dr_willis: most of the time I install stuff from the package manager, so guess I am a bit more lazy :-)
[08:08] <killakali408650> yay :D
[08:08] <killakali408650> i never tried ubuntu b4 or lol i never had linux b4
[08:08] <Moncky> noobie: there is a grub recovery floppy disk 2 secs and I;ll find the link for you
[08:08] <Rayvis> I would love to get WoW running as good as it does on my vista partition though so I can get rid of windows forever
[08:08] <killakali408650> what bout the drivers???
[08:08] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: do what Dr_Willis said. Just resize it and let your ubuntu use the unallocated part.
[08:08] <usser> Rayvis, havent had any problems running it in wine
[08:08] <usser> Rayvis, works as expected
[08:08] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: I just switched about a month ago to linux for the first time and I love it!
[08:08] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: do that, then boot the live CD, download gparted in the live CD, then resize your partition
[08:08] <noobie> Moncky: i dont have a floppy drive
[08:08] <Moncky> noobie: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[08:08] <usser> Rayvis, did u enable opengl?
[08:09] <killakali408650> gparted???
[08:09] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: you'll get the drivers after the install
[08:09] <Yachaziel> !opengl | Rayvis
[08:09] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: its good, trust me
[08:09] <Yachaziel> lol, damn small screen
[08:09] <Yachaziel> sorry
[08:09] <killakali408650> ohh, do i get them from third party websites or sumthing???
[08:09] <Moncky> noobie: there should be a cd version in this day and age
[08:09] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: all my drivers work, but you can get them from 3rd party sites too
[08:09] <killakali408650> i heard that there was also a problem with some of the wireless networking
[08:09] <james_027> usser: ok ill try
[08:09] <Dr_willis> killakali408650,  thats windows thinking. :)  Most all stuff you need is included on various linux installers/cds
[08:09] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: you cabn download the CD, you dont need to wait 4 it
[08:09] <usser> Rayvis, ie in WOW itself i recall there was a config file in which u tell it to run opengl
[08:09] <killakali408650> ohhh where did you get ur drivers yachaziel
[08:09] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: Yes! Buyt I can help you with that.
[08:10] <Dr_willis> killakali408650,  wireless can be a hassle depening on the exact wireless card.
[08:10] <killakali408650> ohhh
[08:10] <killakali408650> intel pro wireless
[08:10] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: From lenovo, the website that has my comp.
[08:10] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: wireless isnt as bad as you may have heard
[08:10] <killakali408650> i have hp
[08:10] <Dr_willis> intel is one of the better supported wireless cards out there aint it?
[08:10] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: no p
[08:10] <Rainarrow> Hello, why when I ping a non-existent ip address in my LAN, I got "Destination unreachable" response from localhost?
[08:10] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: Wireless is simple enough. Just left-click to connect. Setting static is the hard part and I can walk you through that.
[08:11] <mulder_> Anyway thanks for your help Dr_Willis.
[08:11] <Yachaziel> Rainarrow: That's because it's nonexistant. ;)

[08:12] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: You can have ubuntu tonight doing it that way.
[08:12] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: thats what i said
[08:12] <Yachaziel> killakali408650: No, just get it from their site.
[08:12] <theFATMAN> killakali408650: no, go to ubuntu.com

[08:21] <PiojooAzu1> izzyb_: not at the moment, but yes, i use gnome
[08:21] <Yachaziel> Bahasa Indonesia?
[08:21] <andin> yes
[08:21] <d[X_X]b> i feel like its acting like mac and less like windows machine when it mounts shares on a wim
[08:21] <izzyb_> PiojooAzu1: sorry, I can't help.  haven't run gnome in years.
[08:22] <Yachaziel> andin: Ok! One moment
[08:22] <Yachaziel> andin: =D
[08:22] <usser> james_027, looks alright... im afraid i dont know what might be the problem, i understand u have a slow connection, but if i may suggest trying a different audio player like audacious, make sure your audio works.
[08:22] <PiojooAzu1> izzyb_: k, thanks anyway... i think i'll reinstall ubuntu... or kubuntu
[08:22] <andin> you no spicking indonesia
[08:22] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  i used to use the fusesmb tool all the time.  but it has issues now for me. :(  just as a test i tried smb4k to actually 'mount' the shares - and it worked like a champ. I cant even figure out a good place to start troubleshooting this stuff. :(
[08:22] <Yachaziel> bazhang: you there?
[08:23] <Yachaziel> andin: No, I do not speak bahasa indonesian. =( Trying to get you that chat.
[08:23] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  technically the kde/gnome file managers dont mount the shares.. they 'browse' them.  smb4k sees and mounts them.
[08:23] <andin> may adress
[08:23] <Rayvis> Has anyone had trouble getting their microphone to work in Ubuntu 8.04? and if so, how did you fix it?
[08:23] <usser> Rayvis, hm... lemme see i'll try to run it
[08:23] <d[X_X]b> Dr_willis but it used to browse and thats it. now its throwing the folder to my desktop and favorites
[08:24] <Yachaziel> halo
[08:24] <andin> kamu suka sama men
[08:24] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  Yep.  - makes it a little hard to troubleshoot. :(
[08:24] <Yachaziel> andin: difahami?
[08:25] <andin> itu km bisa bahasa indonesia
[08:25] <d[X_X]b> Dr_willis and when i rightclick the favorites the only option is unmount so i fig its mounting...
[08:25] <bazhang> Yachaziel, what's up?
[08:25] <james_027> usser: thanks a lot
[08:25] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,   The forums seem to have others with similer issues.. checking for any fix's  (so far none, just a lot of , it affects me also posts)
[08:25] <Yachaziel> bazhang: What's the factoid for indonesian?
[08:26] <d[X_X]b> dr_willis how do i browse an nfs share? i only know smb://computer
[08:26] <bazhang> Yachaziel, !id
[08:26] <Yachaziel> !id | andin
[08:26] <andin> yes
[08:26] <Yachaziel> thanks bazhang
[08:26] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  i always just mount them. Not sure you can browse nfs likeyou can samba
[08:26] <bazhang> Yachaziel, :)
[08:26] <Uplink> how do i uninstall packages from terminal/
[08:27] <Madpilot> how does one get to a USB key via command line? want to run fsck on one of mine, I think it's been damaged...
[08:27] <BaD-Laptop> Uplink: sudo aptitude remove <package>
[08:27] <Uplink> ty
[08:27] <d[X_X]b> dr_willis oh.... so how does one mount it? ie... i use ipaddress as the mount? \
[08:27] <Yachaziel> adin: saya nggak ngomong. =P
[08:27] <Yachaziel> lol
[08:27] <Dr_willis> !nfs
[08:27] <Yachaziel> left as I figured it out
[08:28] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  i always do it from the command line. or fstab file - for linux to linux - NFS is the way to go. :)
[08:28] <d[X_X]b> kewl thnx
[08:28] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  or for somthing quick  - i use the sshfs tool
[08:29] <Yachaziel> back soon guys
[08:29] <d[X_X]b> hmm.. funny i setup an smb/nfs... and i never knew...i tried nfs://computer...it failed haha...thanx dr_willis
[08:29] <Uplink> i have a question... why when i right click<open with an mp3 it does NOT show up amarok?
[08:29] <Sergiu> !iptables
[08:30] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  nfs is radically different from samba :)
[08:30] <DigiDaemon> So here's my problem.  I have attempted to install Ubuntu 8.04 x64 onto a blank drive, however when install is complete it then gives me a prompt for init.  Though funny thing it tries to make it go to hd0,0 though the live cd sees it as sda
[08:30] <ross_> what browser should i use to watch netflix?
[08:30] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  in the forums - people have reported that using the older samba packages - gets their stuff working...  go figure. :)
[08:30] <astro76> ross_: you need windows for netflix
[08:31] <ross_> is there anything that i canuse
[08:31] <ross_> to watch netflix
[08:31] <ross_> in ubuntu
[08:31] <Uplink> i have a question... why when i right click<open with an mp3 it does NOT show up amarok?
[08:31] <astro76> ross_: you need windows, and all it's activex drm fun
[08:31] <d[X_X]b> Dr_willis yea unny how updates can be harmful... i lost so much with this upgrade to 8
[08:31] <ross_> anyone else with a different opinion on this one?
[08:31] <astro76> ross_: it's a fact! :p
[08:31] <Dr_willis> d[X_X]b,  i did a clean install..   not upgrade..  :) and still have the same issue.
[08:31] <ross_> can I install internet explorer in ubuntu and use it to watch netflix o rnor?
[08:32] <eth01> ubuntu isn't very good when it comes to samba and such like.
[08:32] <usser> Rayvis, doesnt even start on my laptop, must be video card, it works fine on my desktop with nvidia card
[08:32] <Dr_willis> eth01,  it used to work fine.. but since hardy.. ive had issues. sadly.
[08:32] <eth01> use a basic OS such as netbsd or archlinux
[08:33] <DigiDaemon> any ideas why the drive won't boot the kernel and sends me to init
[08:33] <eth01> debian is also another option, samba works well..
[08:33] <ross_> astro76: what bout installing internet explorer in ubuntu
[08:33] <Uplink> i have a question... why when i right click<open with an mp3 it does NOT show up amarok?
[08:33] <ross_> astro76: to watch netflix
[08:33] <astro76> ross_: it relies on windows media player 11 DRM
[08:33] <ross_> astro76: damn
[08:33] <eth01> Dr_willis: then don't use it.
[08:33] <ross_> astro76: there is no other way around it?
[08:33] <astro76> ross_: trust me I feel your pain
[08:33] <Rayvis> Usser: I have read that WoW will run fine through Wine with an Nvidia card. When I get some money saved up, I'll be building a new desktop with an Nvidia card. I suppose I'll wait until then to be able to play WoW.
[08:34] <DaveKong> I have been having trouble with my network connection and found a post saying this driver was not part of the kernal but you can get it... I don't know how to do what it says though. If anyone can explain it more I would be greatful
[08:34] <ross_> someone else
[08:34] <Dr_willis> eth01,  thank you for the comentary. I will go back to reading the forums now.
[08:34] <DaveKong> The 2.6 kernel includes this driver as a module called b44. It is accessible in the kernel configuration under Device Drivers/Networking support/Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)/. Select "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers", and "Broadcom 4400". You may compile it as a module named b44.
[08:34] <ross_> has to have a solution for this
[08:34] <DigiDaemon> Rayvis, you can play on an ATI though it can be a bit tricky
[08:34] <ross_> netflix cannot just be for windows only
[08:34] <bobishh> can u help me? need to know how to make thunar opening samba shares
[08:34] <bobishh> ?
[08:34] <DigiDaemon> err Usse is the one with the problem yes
[08:34] <ross_> there's gotta a solution
[08:34] <usser> Rayvis, just dual boot with windows, and yea it definetely runs with nvidia
[08:35] <Rayvis> DigiDaemon: I have also read about getting it to work with an ATI card. However I have Intel Mobile 945GM and I can't get it to work properly.
[08:35] <DigiDaemon> Intel hurts my feelings
[08:35] <Rayvis> Usser: Do you have any ideas of how I can get my microphone to work in Ubuntu?
[08:35] <DigiDaemon> Rayvis, good luck to you on that though you can pick up a decent nVidia for like 70 80 USD
[08:36] <eth01> Dr_willis: hah.
[08:36] <eth01> Dr_willis: advice to say the least.
[08:36] <james_027> usser: i try audacious and i work, I wonder y rhythmbox doesn't work ... do you have any suggestion of player that could support ipod
[08:37] <usser> Rayvis, im afraid i cant suggest anything beyond fiddling with mixer settings
[08:37] <DigiDaemon> james_027: try Amarok
[08:37] <usser> james_027, amarok all the way
[08:37] <Shervin> guys, I'm on the liveCD right now and its asking to make  a swap partition so I'm asking you A) How big it should be B) Primary or Logical C)Mount Point
[08:38] <Shervin> and also where the location of the partition should be (beginning or end)
[08:38] <Tefad> there's no mount point for swap
[08:38] <Shervin> haha your right
[08:38] <Shervin> how big should it be though?
[08:38] <Tefad> i generally put my swaps at the start of a disk
[08:38] <magnetron> Shervin: it should be a little bit larger than your RAM
[08:38] <james_027> DigiDaimon, usser: i am kind of hesitating... isnt amarok for KDE? using it in gnome could be slow? i really don't know...
[08:38] <Tefad> generally my swap is at least 1GB
[08:38] <Shervin> Ok so I have 1 gig so 2?
[08:38] <DigiDaemon> james_027 no it will run just fine, did on my machines every time.
[08:39] <Baltazaar> swap files are rarely used in computers with 2gb RAM +
[08:39] <Tefad> it also depends on your HDD size
[08:39] <Rayvis> James_027: I use Amarok in Ubuntu and it works fine.
[08:39] <Shervin> Is it primary or logical?
[08:39] <Tefad> depends on the rest of your layout
[08:39] <magnetron> Shervin: logical or primary shouldn't matter, but the number of primary partitions are restricted to three if you have logical partitions, so make it logical
[08:39] <usser> james_027, if u have a relatively new computer it'll run just fine
[08:40] <Baltazaar> partition no. 5 will automatically become a logic one
[08:40] <Tefad> if you just have one root/boot partition, it doesn't matter if your swap is primary or logical
[08:40] <james_027> thanks everyone
[08:40] <Shervin> right, i've got 3 partitions right now 1for ubuntu 2 for xp 3 for data
[08:40] <Shervin> now this swap file shoudl be logical?
[08:40] <magnetron> Shervin: yes
[08:40] <I_need_help> anyone can help, how to install wine in Ubuntu 7.10
[08:40] <Tefad> depends on how much space you have left after creating the swap
[08:40] <Dr_willis> !wine | I_need_help
[08:40] <I_need_help> i tried several times... but error
[08:40] <Shervin> i've got like 250 gb space left
[08:41] <Baltazaar> I_need_help: sudo apt-get install wine?
[08:41] <magnetron> I_need_help: go to applications, add/remove. search for wine and enable the check box
[08:41] <I_need_help> i did magnetron\
[08:41] <I_need_help> but i got error
[08:41] <I_need_help> the message is
[08:41] <I_need_help> " This software conflicts with other installed software. to install 'wine the conflicting software must remove 1st "
[08:41] <I_need_help> " switch to 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict '
[08:42] <Shervin> Tefad: I've got 250 gb left after making the swap
[08:42] <magnetron> I_need_help: you've got cedega or something installed?
[08:42] <magnetron> I_need_help: or crossoverx?
[08:42] <Rayvis> Cedega shouldn't conflict with Wine as I have both installed on my machine fine.
[08:42] <eth01> crossover is better for those applications more resource hungry
[08:42] <I_need_help> im newbie in linux. i dont know what is that
[08:42] <Rayvis> Not sure about Crossover though.
[08:43] <I_need_help> but, when i instal wine, its still fresh installation of ubuntu 7.10
[08:43] <I_need_help> i have no installa anysoft b4.
[08:43] <magnetron> I_need_help: ok, do this: close "add/remove" and start the Synaptic package manager instead. System > admininstration > Synaptic
[08:43] <DigiDaemon> So here's my problem.  I have attempted to install Ubuntu 8.04 x64 onto a blank drive, however when install is complete it then gives me a prompt for init.  Though funny thing it tries to make it go to hd0,0 though the live cd sees it as sda
[08:44] <I_need_help> im in screen now, and /
[08:45] <magnetron> I_need_help: first, hit the "reload" button, then search for wine using the Search button

[08:51] <Flannel> douye: What update? Are you running 32 or 64 bit?
[08:52] <douye> flannel: 32 bit, and its the normal update thingy in ubuntu
[08:52] <KalEl> magnetron, ah ok thanks

[08:56] <cypha> what's the time limit?
[08:56] <douye> flannel: should i just remove that and only select the nvidia one ?
[08:56] <Flannel> cypha: Best to wait 20-30 minutes between
[08:56] <cypha> what??
[08:56] <cypha> 20-30 minutes?
[08:56] <Flannel> cypha: yes
[08:56] <Madpilot> cypha, screenshot? can't picture what you're talking about
[08:56] <cypha> no one 10-15 minutes later will read my previous post
[08:56] <s3a> legend2440: printing in landscape as pdf stil has it vertically longer
[08:56] <cypha> sure Madpilot , one sec

[08:57] <MOzartstaedter> how could i limit a ping-request to ... lets say 10 pings??
[08:57] <U_G_G> eth01, apt-get update is still updating
[08:57] <Starnestommy> MOzartstaedter: ping -c 10
[08:57] <MOzartstaedter> thx a lot
[08:57] <Flannel> douye: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xserver-xorg see how those depends are set up?  the -all packages (both input and video) depend on every arch it seems.  Depending on what gets chosen when you install, you may find yourself with all of those.
[08:57] <magnus_> do i need samba for filessharing b/w ubuntu machines?

[08:58] <magnus_> Myrtti: how is it done? :)
[08:58] <I_need_help> yes magnetron. im in screen now
[08:58] <magnetron> magnus_: will the ubuntu machine act as server or client?
[08:58] <Flannel> douye: it'd be -nv
[08:58] <Flannel> douye: Or, nvidia-glx with or without -legacy
[08:58] <magnus_> magnetron: one server another client
[08:58] <U_G_G> eth01, i open ADD/REMOVE and its downloading applications auto..
[08:58] <magnus_> magnetron: both *buntu
[08:58] <magnetron> I_need_help: is universe enabled?
[08:58] <douye> flannel: so as i got a nvidia 8600M GT card i should only need the nvidia version of it?
[08:58] <Flannel> douye: See the first two things after -video-2
[08:59] <legend2440> s3a: what are you trying to make ? a banner or sign?
[08:59] <eth01> U_G_G: these are commands which need to be run in SSH.
[08:59] <Flannel> douye: correct, although the -nv version might not be a bad fallback in case something goes wrong.  But yeah, you just need one of those.
[08:59] <Madpilot> cypha, that file xfr appears not to be working - fire it up on the web somewhere instead?
[08:59] <Myrtti> you can do it with ssh(fs) (easy, safe, slow), or nfs (easyish, not that safe unless inside safe network, fast)
[08:59] <U_G_G> oh ok
[08:59] <Myrtti> magnus_: ^
[08:59] <I_need_help> no, only checkbox number 2
[08:59] <I_need_help> no, only checkbox number 2 from up
[09:00] <eth01> U_G_G: so before i lose my patience. load terminal, and enter sudo apt-get update and once thats finished run apt-get install
[09:00] <douye> flannel: could that be the reason i cant adjust the nvidia card settings? (says i dont have a nvidia card installed, while it is using the driver seen by system -> administrator -> hardware driver)
[09:00] <magnus_> Myrtti: i dont want to have to login ssh style..
[09:00] <U_G_G> ok eth01, apt-update its going
[09:01] <eth01> U_G_G: k
[09:01] <I_need_help> Magnetron : no, only checkbox number 2 from up .. should i check all them ?
[09:01] <Myrtti> magnus_: that's not a problem if everything is setup properly
[09:01] <yedda2> hi all
[09:01] <Flannel> douye: I believe you need the nvidia-settings package for that.
[09:01] <magnus_> Myrtti: mhm...
[09:02] <magnetron> I_need_help: "main", "universe" and "restricted" should be enabled
[09:02] <douye> flannel: i've got the nvidia xserver settings app installed
[09:02] <douye> flannel: and that package you named is installed
[09:02] <Uplink> i have a question... why when i right click<open with an mp3 it does NOT show up amarok?
[09:02] <U_G_G> eth01, why is apt-get update installing so many things
[09:02] <Flannel> douye: I don't know.  You'll have to ask someone who has experience with it.
[09:02] <shishirmk> does any1 know hot to make a http post or get request from the command line to a servre
[09:02] <shishirmk> server
[09:03] <yedda2> what filesystem should I chose for an external HDD, that is only used as a storage device and also other computers i.e. WindowsXP/Linux/Mac machines should be able to directly connect to it. (actually the storage is at a router-pc, so everyone can connect via samba, but it's important if I move the storage around, eg. to a friends house)
[09:03] <tyler> how do i start xmms2 via terminal?
[09:03] <eth01> U_G_G: it's not installing anything. it's just refreshing the cache basiically
[09:03] <douye> flannel: and in the xorg.conf or something the display driver is also named nvidia :P which makes it weird but oh well
[09:03] <shishirmk> i am using ubuntu 7.10
[09:03] <eth01> basically, even
[09:03] <U_G_G> ok i see
[09:03] <eth01> U_G_G: has that finished now..
[09:03] <tyler> how do i start xmms2 via terminal?
[09:03] <Myrtti> magnus_: bwah, can't find the good tutorial right away
[09:03] <U_G_G> 3 packages, 24% 24 % and 61% .. and counting..
[09:04] <U_G_G> hehe
[09:04] <NeedHelp> What is the linux correlation of COM2?
[09:04] <magnus_> Myrtti: maybe samba is easier then .. im a noob :)
[09:04] <astro76> NeedHelp: /dev/ttyS1
[09:04] <Flannel> tyler: xmms2
[09:04] <NeedHelp> Thankyou
[09:04] <I_need_help> Magnetron : i did
[09:05] <s3a> landscape is not making me print to file sideways with openoffice.org
[09:05] <eth01> U_G_G: ok
[09:05] <NeedHelp> Astro: Just in case, how about COM1
[09:05] <legend2440> s3a: what are you trying to make ? a banner or sign?
[09:05] <Uplink> i have a question... why when i right click<open with an mp3 it does NOT show up amarok?
[09:05] <s3a> legend2440: huge letters to stick on a poster
[09:06] <Myrtti> magnus_: if you're in a safe environment, use nfs
[09:06] <tyler> Flannel: http://pastebin.org/38560 I get this when i type that
[09:06] <Myrtti> magnus_: it's quite straightforward to set up, perhaps even easier than sshfs
[09:06] <yedda2> what is the better filesystem for a storage device that gets read and written alot but changed/deleted rarely? ntfs or ext3? both have disadvantages concerning connectibility
[09:06] <legend2440> s3a: http://linux.about.com/library/bl/open/newbie/blnewbie7.1banner.htm
[09:06] <magnetron> I_need_help: great, now "reload" again and try to install wine again
[09:06] <astro76> NeedHelp: /dev/ttyS0
[09:06] <Uplink> where can i get AUDIO CODECS?
[09:06] <magnetron> !codec | Uplink
[09:06] <Myrtti> magnus_: and it's fast. I get 1MB/s with sshfs and 10MB/s with nfs
[09:06] <magnus_> Myrtti: nfs is that a package?
[09:06] <NeedHelp> Astro76: Thanks again. I think I got it
[09:07] <I_need_help> Magentron :  u mean i turn back to add/remove menu ?
[09:07] <tyler> Flannel: http://pastebin.org/38560 I get this when i type that
[09:07] <Flannel> tyler: That's the xmms2 help thing.  you'll need to let it know what you actually want.  You ran the program, it noticed you didn't ask it to do anything, so it told you so.
[09:07] <Myrtti> magnus_: the serverside needs ... well I've got "nfs-kernel-server"
[09:07] <Myrtti> and the client side needs nfs-common
[09:07] <ronnie_> over one thousand people, cool
[09:07] <U_G_G> eth01, still there?
[09:08] <magnus_> Myrtti: thx :)
[09:08] <tyler> Flannel: the program is not running though...
[09:09] <Flannel> tyler: It finished, because you didn't tell it to do anything.  What are you trying to get to happen?
[09:09] <I_need_help> Magnetron : now running downloading package
[09:09] <magnetron> I_need_help: hit Reload in Synaptic, then close Synaptic and use "add/remove" again
[09:09] <magnetron> I_need_help: good luck
[09:09] <tyler> A UI program to open up...is this just a command based program or what?
[09:09] <Flannel> tyler: It is.  for a GUI, you want to install "gxmms2"
[09:10] <tyler> Flannel: do you use amarak?
[09:10] <Flannel> tyler: No
[09:10] <cypha> Madpilot: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_8.1211788898.png
[09:10] <tyler> whats the best gnome music program that i can have a aplet in the gnome bar to control it
[09:11] <U_G_G> eth01, i finish installing filezilla-common, but it doesnt shows up anywhere on the application list?
[09:11] <Madpilot> cypha, interesting. Right-clicking on that extra box doesn't do anything?
[09:11] <cypha> brings up the same menu
[09:11] <I_need_help> Magnetron : thank you so much
[09:12] <cypha> from where if i got to preferences, i can choose the rows by columns
[09:12] <Madpilot> cypha, as the desktop-chooser widget? have you tried removing it entirely and re-installing it on the panel?
[09:12] <eth01> U_G_G: umm?
[09:12] <Flannel> tyler: U_G_G for the menu item, you need to install `filezilla`
[09:12] <Flannel> tyler: sorry, that wasn't for you
[09:12] <U_G_G> ok ty
[09:12] <cypha> it's not a widget tho?
[09:12] <cypha> just an option for the panel, right?
[09:12] <eth01> U_G_G: i hadn't finished with you, but yes, you need to install filezilla.
[09:13] <eth01> *-common is just the complicated stuff btw
[09:13] <magnetron> I_need_help: you're welcome

[09:13] <CQ> morning... is there a way to get better fonts for ubuntu, in particular Firefox and the like?
[09:13] <bullgard4> [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Hardy GNOME shows most programs in English although all locales of 'locale' are set to German e. g. LANG=de_DE.UTF8. "~$ dpkg-reconfigure locales" only added a new line "en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date". Also erasing of .gnome, .gnome2 und .gconf and restart did not change that. How to troubleshoot?
[09:14] <robg_> bullgard4: your problem is familiar to me. I had it in Vista too. I have opted to run operating systems in a single language.
[09:15] <s3a> i have 2 images how can i make one (the smaller one) be on top (in the corner) of the other one?
[09:15] <s3a> using gimp
[09:15] <ronnie_> robg_: what program?
[09:15] <robg_> ronnie: ?
[09:15] <ronnie_> nothing..
[09:16] <bullgard4> robg_: I'd like to run it in a single language: German. It used to work in Gutsy. It does not work any longer in Hardy. How to tell Hardy to use German only?
[09:16] <s3a> any1 here use gimp?
[09:16] <Dew420> kinda s3a
[09:16] <wenbin> help?
[09:16] <HappyHater> how do you install kde with apt-get?
[09:16] <robg_> bullgard4: I have never been able to run an OS completely in any other language than US English. Some things are translated, but never everything.
[09:17] <s3a> HappyHater: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[09:17] <babo> guys, how do i open a .ai adobe illustrator file ?
[09:17] <HappyHater> thanks
[09:17] <bullgard4> robg_: Well, I told you that it worked for me in Gutsy.
[09:17] <s3a> Dew420: how do i fuse 2 images and make one on top of the other?
[09:17] <Dew420> o.O
[09:17] <leejohn> good day guys, has anyone stumble with a bug in php a single echo statement execute at 5 sec delay even on commandline
[09:18] <robg_> bullgard4: then that was an exception
[09:18] <Dew420> I dno man im baked
[09:18] <rootpt> google it
[09:18] <magnetron> !bugs | leejohn
[09:18] <robg_> bullgard4: if you read German computer magazines, there is a lot of whining about translation.
[09:18] <s3a> Dew420: as in drugs?
[09:19] <bullgard4> robg_: You missed the point.
[09:19] <leejohn> magnetron: ok, i will file a bug report on this
[09:19] <magnetron> leejohn: thank you
[09:19] <robg_> bullgard4: translation is an ongoing issue that never completely satisfies.
[09:19] <cypha> i have an extra box under my workspace that can't be switched to
[09:20] <magnetron> bullgard4: what does System > administration > language support yield?
[09:21] <cypha> i have an extra box under my workspace thing in the panel, that can't be switched to. i have compiz off, no desktop effects, 1x1 rows and columns. any ideas?
[09:22] <U_G_G> eth01, done
[09:23] <bullgard4> magnetron: Language Support > Supported Languages > Language German support asserted. No more assertions. -- Default language for new useraccounts and the login screen: 'Deutsch (Deutschland)'.
[09:25] <robg_> bullgard4: you may also mahev made wrong choices during install
[09:25] <s3a> if a motherboard supports ddr ram does it supprt all ddr ram there is? lets say if the ram is faster than it can handle does it still work at a slower speed? does it just not work? or does it cause damage to the motherboard?
[09:26] <Effex> Uhm, maybe a little off topic, but does anyone know how to save logs in irssi?
[09:26] <magnetron> bullgard4: if you hit the "apply" button, does it wanna install complementary language support?
[09:26] <bullgard4> s3a: A fater RAM works fine and does not do any harm
[09:27] <robg_> s3a: damage unlikely. OS will inform you if RAM is recognized.
[09:27] <babo> guys, does anyone know how to open .ai files ?
[09:28] <bullgard4> magnetron: At the moment 'Apply' is greyed out. So pressing it does not effect anything.
[09:28] <magnetron> babo: http://filext.com/file-extension/AI
[09:28] <magnetron> bullgard4: ok
[09:28] <magnus_> is there a linux equivalent to "net view"?
[09:28] <kibibyte> what is net view
[09:29] <magnetron> magnus_: what should it do?
[09:29] <Baby_Shambl3s> hi, is there a wway I can make ubuntu redo my fstab automatically?
[09:29] <s3a> bullgard, robg_, k thx
[09:29] <legend2440> Effex: read Configuration Options    http://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie/mw/Irssi
[09:29] <dennda> Baby_Shambl3s: mount -a if that's what you mean
[09:29] <s3a> i got 2 images in1  gimp window
[09:29] <magnetron> Baby_Shambl3s: did you edit it manually?
[09:29] <s3a> how do i make the smaller pic larger?
[09:29] <dennda> s3a: scale the layer
[09:29] <dennda> Assuming you got layers
[09:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> magnetron: no I just want it to be redone by the OS to include my other HDs
[09:30] <w3rd_> hey guys do you know of any torrent server software that can be installed on a *nix box? im hoping to serve torrents via my webhost and hoping there is some alternative to torrentflux? to many restrictions? ie login etc.. otherwise awesome?
[09:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> dennda: mount -a
[09:31] <Baby_Shambl3s> dennda: mount -a?
[09:31] <magnus_> magnetron: just want to look up the ip numbers on the network.
[09:31] <magnetron> magnus_: the ip numbers of the computers on the SMB network?
[09:31] <dennda> Baby_Shambl3s: man mount will tell you what that option does. Basically it remounts any of the devices. But I may have misunderstood your question
[09:31] <ghindo> After running a system update on one of my computers, I tried to ssh into it but got this message:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14744/  What does this mean?  Should I worry?
[09:31] <humbolt> How do I make seahorse use my new non-vulnerable SSH key?
[09:32] <magnus_> magnetron: no not smb..
[09:32] <magnus_> magnetron: my local network ie computers connected to the router
[09:32] <ljsoftnet> what do i have to do to know my ip address?
[09:32] <Boxxxer> hello
[09:32] <StevenX> Hello. I am trying to run multiple sessions of x display (so taht I can run a full-screen game on one session). I  hit "ctrl+alt+f1", log-in, and then run "startx -- :1". However, it switches screens but never really starts up the new x session. When I got back to ctrl+alt_f1 it says "X Client 1 rejected from local host. No protocal specified.
[09:33] <magnetron> magnus_: net view lists computers in your SMB network. isn't this what you wanna do?
[09:34] <Baby_Shambl3s> dennda: this is a clean install two hds are mounting automatically but the others aint, I could edit the fstab one by one but I wish to know if there is a way for the OS to re-write the fstab again but this time including the other hds that might not have been present at the time
[09:34] <Boxxxer> i am just typing a bug report for Xubuntu... can you please tell me which package should i choose it has the bug if the lock screen mechanism is not working?
[09:34] <sixforty> w3rd_: looked at libapache2-mod-bt ?
[09:34] <w3rd_> naw?
[09:35] <Boxxxer> is gdm the package it has this locking screen mechanism (which is not working at all) ?
[09:35] <legend2440> ljsoftnet: in terminal type   ifconfig  or go here http://whatismyip.com/
[09:35] <magnus_> magnetron: i use ssh to connect to other computers not samba... i just want to see which ip-adressess are in use instead of having to ping each one or something...
[09:37] <w3rd_> sixforty: question, where the heck is the messaging software for this type of server located? is it redistributed?http://kos.enix.org/pipermail/daily-debian-package/2007-February/000876.html
[09:37] <plik> magnus_: sounds like ajob for nmap
[09:37] <magnus_> plik: ok
[09:37] <w3rd_> i love the threads...simple and public...
[09:37] <w3rd_> lot of systems based upon this...
[09:37] <Uplink> i have a question... why when i right click<open with an mp3 it does NOT show up amarok?
[09:37] <magnetron> magnus_: sure, but how should you get the ip adresses of the if they have no hostname, no SMB name or any name at all? how would your computer be able to find the IP adress out of nothing? if you want to replace net view, you can use nmblookup and smbtree
[09:39] <legend2440> Uplink: right click mp3 then properties>open with and choose amarok
[09:40] <Uplink> legend2440,  it wont show up
[09:40] <magnus_> magnetron: "how should i" well i dont know thats why im here lol.
[09:40] <david4> http://rafb.net/p/40Ok7229.html <-- anyone know how to fix that?
[09:40] <legend2440> Uplink: then Add  amarok
[09:40] <sixforty> w3rd_: I can't parse your q. Shows what I know.
[09:41] <robotjox> hi, can anybody here recommend a piece of software for keeping a personal log of projects (both software and other things)?
[09:41] <magnetron> magnus_: you are both asking me for how to do it and what to do.
[09:41] <Uplink> legend2440, it should be there by default
[09:41] <magnus_> magnetron: ok
[09:41] <luca> any good guide for a stable web interface email server build ?
[09:41] <cypha> my touchpad's scrolling has mysteriously stopped
[09:41] <w3rd_> rofl
[09:41] <w3rd_> my bad...
[09:41] <Yachaziel> Hello all! I am back and I got my machine working again! I had to reinstall ubuntu. =( But no worries!
[09:41] <cypha> it'll definitely fix on restart, but i want to know why this is happening at all?
[09:41] <cypha> and can it be refreshed without restarting?
[09:42] <plik> magnus_: sudo aptitude install nmap && sudo nmap -sV <IP_ADDRESS>/24    or something similar
[09:42] <w3rd_> look at the website,,, they are using a platform, some sort of messaging server software... im interested to know what that is? do you have any idea...
[09:42] <magnetron> magnus_: my router adds computer names to my local DNS server, very useful. another solution would be to add computer names and IPs to your /etc/hosts
[09:43] <sixforty> w3rd_ : are you talking about Apache itself?
[09:43] <w3rd_> i guess... umm but i dont think so...
[09:44] <w3rd_> http://kos.enix.org/pipermail/daily-debian-package/2007-February/000876.html
[09:44] <david4> http://rafb.net/p/mlzVyG32.html <-- any ideas on how to fix this?
[09:44] <w3rd_> what are they writing there emails on?
[09:44] <w3rd_> how is that done? how do they send emails in public view as if an email or thread in a forum?
[09:44] <w3rd_> enix.org
[09:44] <Jokka> how do i mount my new hardisc? i cant find it anywhere in comp. any help?
[09:45] <leejohn> Jokka: did you make any partition ?
[09:45] <david4> Jokka: dmesg and look at the output
[09:46] <magnus_> plik: ty
[09:46] <Jokka> I just put it in ro my comp, i have no idea where to find it or even search for it..
[09:46] <magnus_> magnetron: but i have no network skillz
[09:46] <david4> ide, scsi, or sata?
[09:46] <c_sokun> w3rd_: I think that just a mailling list
[09:46] <leejohn> Jokka: when you say new it means a new hard drive without an exisiting filesystem on it?
[09:46] <magnetron> magnus_: ok
[09:46] <plik> magnus_: welcome, time to learn  ;)
[09:46] <davelee> say, i can run X via startx but GDM / KDM gives me an error  (something about not having a terminal) ... where should i look for the problem ?
[09:47] <Jokka> leejohn, yeah. empty one
[09:47] <w3rd_> agghhh, how the heck do they do that, what mailing list server software is there? do you know of any... qmail?
[09:47] <david4> Jokka: if it is ide it'll be /dev/hd(X) X being a letter
[09:47] <pkundu> Jokka: install gparted using synaptic, if your HDD is detected you can create new partition using it
[09:47] <david4> Jokka: if it is scsi or sata it'll be sd(X)
[09:47] <sixforty> w3rd_ : google 'what is pipermail'
[09:48] <magnetron> w3rd_: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/mailman.html

[09:48] <majikins> hi - I'm not sure if my debmirror is working - it says its downloaded files(40 mib) at 122kb rate but my ifconfig says differently
[09:48] <majikins> how do I chk that debmirror is working?
[09:48] <k1dugar> hello, I using ubuntu 8.04. I want to use gfxboot, I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu and removed usplash. But I can't see gfxboot on boot
[09:48] <robg_> Jokka: partition logic is contained in gparted. Possible options are presented.
[09:48] <w3rd_> hey question, if i modify my webserver to include libapache2-mod-bt? what use would it have? dont i need more than that to allow users to seed torrents via my server? or am i completely off?
[09:49] <david4> Jokka: seeing you have a drive in there already it'll probably be "b" and next you need to partition and make a filesystem
[09:49] <david4> Jokka: you can use cfdisk and fdisk as well
[09:49] <sixforty> w3rd_: is your webserver running on ubuntu?
[09:49] <cypha> is there a way to restart my mouse, like i can restart X?
[09:50] <w3rd_> well close enough, debain

[09:51] <magnetron> w3rd_: there's a #debian channel here, you may get better support for your debian server there
[09:52] <majikins> hi can anyone help me with the debmirror application pls?
[09:52] <w3rd_> hehe ok... even though we are talking about apache
[09:52] <magnetron> w3rd_: we're talkin about different packaged versions of apache

[09:53] <Jokka> "Since GParted can be a weapon of mass destruction only root may run it." lol
[09:53] <Baby_Shambl3s> what would happen if i were to delete the current fstab which is backed up) and restarted would ubuntu remake the fstab?

[09:54] <bigjoe4> it sais 'unlock keyrig' thingy
[09:55] <Baby_Shambl3s> magnetron: so i would have to edit the fstab manually for every disk o.0???
[09:56] <Jokka> Hmm.. seems to get it working right with gparted. thx alot for help :)

[09:57] <magnetron> Baby_Shambl3s: i don't answer questions i don't know
[09:57] <Boxxxer> is gdm the package it has this locking screen mechanism (which is not working at all) ?
[09:57] <k1dugar> hello, I using ubuntu 8.04. I want to use gfxboot, I have installed gfxboot and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu and removed usplash. But I can't see gfxboot on boot
[09:57] <robg_> Jokka: never push your luck.

[09:57] <Shervin> When using truecrypt on ubuntu, I try to open up my crypt file, I type in the crypt password and then it says "Adminstrator Priveleges Required" I then proceed to type in the password I use to log into ubuntu and it then says permission denied. What am I doing wrong?
[09:57] <U_G_G> eth01,  help me again please,  i've just installed AptonCD, but it shows only what packages are installed today, how can i list all packages which i apt-get them yesterday
[09:57] <hoehaver> I installed ubuntu 8.4. im not all too new to linuzx but im still a novice. ive never installed a Grub booter theme before and the one i was doesnt clearly tell me how to install it. it tells me to add this line to  my grub booter.  "splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/white_tree.xpm.gz" i know ill have to change (hd1,0) to (hd0,2) and ill probably have to change the picture location from root/grub to something like chunky/home (because when
[09:57] <Lanlost> Anyone know a download accelerator that acutally shows you the file splits in the percentage bar or something similar? GetRight, FreeDownloadManager, etc for Windows do it.
[09:57] <hoehaver> sorry ts so long?
[09:57] <hoehaver> its*
[09:58] <bigjoe4> jessejazza: yes, I did that, but now it still asks for password once I logon
[09:58] <bigjoe4> jessejazza: it says some perogram needs privilages or something, maybe the network
[09:58] <bigjoe4> #program
[09:58] <hoehaver> wow i need to spell check that bad!
[09:58] <robg_> hoehaver: always opt for guided install in largest empty space.
[09:58] <hoehaver> sorry...try to weeve through my mistyped words...
[09:59] <Jokka> Ok, it didnt get to work. As a problem, i cant get it mounted, any help there?
[09:59] <Shervin> When using truecrypt on ubuntu, I try to open up my crypt file, I type in the crypt password and then it says "Adminstrator Priveleges Required" I then proceed to type in the password I use to log into ubuntu and it then says permission denied. What am I doing wrong?
[09:59] <magnetron> hoehaver: install StartupManager, it will easily let you add a startup screen

[09:59] <robg_> Jokka: does your PC accept a secondary harddrive at the hardware level ?
[09:59] <hoehaver> rodg_: what do you mean?
[09:59] <jokoon> Hello, I'm looking for a way to customize cursors in ubuntu ...
[10:00] <Jokka> robg, yeah. Ive had three drives when using windows
[10:00] <robg_> hoehaver: when installing dual-boot you first create a large empty space and then do a guided install into that large empty space.
[10:00] <Yachaziel> jokoon: As in change their appearance?
[10:00] <Jokka> i got it formatted to ext3 now
[10:01] <jessejazza> bigjoe4: umm then i don't know that i can help further. My PC is standalone at home currently using 7.10. perhaps your on 8.04 and it has changed
[10:01] <jokoon> Yachaziel : yes, but I just want to change them
[10:01] <robg_> Jokka: I seriously doubt whether you can control that secondary drive from within linux.
[10:01] <Jokka> robg_, how come?
[10:01] <Lanlost> isn't there an off-topic #ubuntu channel? Like #ubuntu-chat or something?
[10:01] <king7> can gnome exist without nautilus?
[10:02] <jokoon> Yachaziel : I have png and cur files of the cursor I want to use
[10:02] <robg_> Jokka: gparted is used outside linux
[10:02] <sixforty> Lanlost: #ubuntu-offtopic  (excellent question!)
[10:02] <Jokka> robg_, hmm.. i dont get ur point rly..
[10:03] <robg_> Jokka: when I use gparted I shut down the OS and boor gparted from CD-ROM
[10:03] <cypha> is there an acpi debug?
[10:03] <cypha> in the package manager?
[10:03] <Lanlost> thanks sixforty, it didn't seem to show up in the channel listing or in the topic
[10:03] <king7> will ubuntu crap if I remove nautilus?
[10:03] <Jokka> robg_, oh i see.. well i got it running right now
[10:04] <Baby_Shambl3s> magnetron: what do you mean you dont answer question, is that like a riddle of some sort?
[10:04] <robg_> Jokka: you have it running on top of linux.
[10:04] <magnetron> Baby_Shambl3s: i don't answer questions i don't know the answer too.
[10:04] <Jokka> robg_ , oh ok. So what should i do the? i just opened  /etc/fstab to see what i could find..
[10:05] <Baby_Shambl3s> magnetron: ok
[10:05] <robg_> Jokka; the secondary drive must by recognized by the machine at a hardware level.
[10:05] <jah_> is there any app i can create powerpoint presentations with in ubuntu?
[10:06] <Baby_Shambl3s> king7: I'm close to certain if you remove nautilus you also remove ubuntu desktop so keep have a desktop manager around just incase unless you cna work in cli other than that it shouldnt
[10:06] <Myrtti> jah_: presentations or _powerpoint_ presentations?
[10:06] <king7> Ok bad idea then
[10:06] <outfaller> i get a "bios bug found" followed by some numbers(goes by so fast) after grub and before ubuntu loading screen
[10:06] <outfaller> anybody know what is that?
[10:06] <buckhill> ACPI fix I think outfaller, but don't quote me on that
[10:06] <king7> Its a shell too I guess, I thought it was just a file manager, so I use rox-filer instead
[10:06] <jah_> Myrtti: POWERPOINT presentations ;)
[10:07] <Jokka> robg_ , so i need to get my pc to understand i have a new harddrive init ?
[10:07] <sixforty> outfaller: the bug is found because it is known, and almost certainly patched by the kernel
[10:07] <Myrtti> jah_: any spesific reason they need to be *powerpoint* presentations?
[10:07] <DaveKong> Can anyone give me more specific dirtions on how to do what these diretions say?  -- The 2.6 kernel includes this driver as a module called b44. It is accessible in the kernel configuration under Device Drivers/Networking support/Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)/. Select "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers", and "Broadcom 4400". You may compile it as a module named b44.
[10:07] <robg_> Jokka: only your hardware manufacturer can tell you whether your machine will support another harddrive.
[10:07] <outfaller> so nothing to worry about?
[10:07] <jah_> Myrtti: yeah, well cos its the most common thing used in my college... so .ppt aint working?? which other presentationtools are there?
[10:08] <Myrtti> jah_: do it with Impress, export to pdf and show with a pdf-reader?
[10:08] <Myrtti> jah_: better yet, do it with LaTeX, export to pdf and show with a pdf-reader
[10:08] <jah_> so Impress would be the most common chose?
[10:08] <Jokka> robg_ , well if i had it working before the pc should support it right?
[10:09] <jah_> Myrtti: ok... well... where can I fetch impress?
[10:09] <Myrtti> jah_: if you've got OpenOffice, you've got it already
[10:09] <robg_> Jokka: there is a difference between saving to a disk and booting from a disk.
[10:09] <king7>  I love the ubuntu-studio theme
[10:10] <jah_> Myrtti: nah, but Im getting it now... can u recommen any guide for getting started with latex
[10:10] <Myrtti> jah_: sure, hold on
[10:10] <jah_> Myrtti: thanks
[10:10] <Jokka> robg_ , nvm. i got it working now:) ill reeboot and look if it stays up.. thx anyway. cheers mate
[10:10] <eeboy> If I open up SSH (port 22) to the world how vulnerable am I?
[10:11] <jatt> it depends
[10:11] <robg_> Jokka: the proof of the pudding is in the eating
[10:11] <bullgard4> [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Hardy GNOME shows most programs in English although all locales of 'locale' are set to German e. g. LANG=de_DE.UTF8. "~$ dpkg-reconfigure locales" only added a new line "en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date". Also erasing of .gnome, .gnome2 und .gconf and restart did not change that. Language support: German is asserted. How to troubleshoot?
[10:12] <Jokka> robg_ lol. i guess so:p
[10:12] <Myrtti> jah_: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/, for LaTeX in presentations http://www.scribd.com/doc/28011/beamer-guide
[10:12] <Jokka> robg_ , now in this drive, theres a lost+fund folder i cant enter, what is that? do u know?
[10:13] <Jokka> also its named "160.0 gb media" wich pisses me off.. -.-
[10:13] <sixforty> bullgard4: if you have not tried it, open synaptic and search "locale", see if all the 'de' items are installed.
[10:13] <robg_> Jokka: I still do not understand your plans.
[10:14] <Jokka> robg_ , the plan is to get it empty from everything so i can put my movies in there, my other partition kinda got full last night ;)
[10:14] <alzamabar> Hi, I've just changed the content of /etc/environment. Is there a way to have Ubuntu to pick up the changes without having to restart the system?
[10:14] <A_I_> hello
[10:14] <A_I_> where is the changelog of ubuntu 7.10 ?
[10:14] <adam7> Jokka: the lost and found folder (I believe) is where files go when they get lost; ie, the partition becomes corrupted. You can rename the 160gb volume by changing the drive label
[10:15] <robg_> Jokka: that is a file operation from within an operating system. Ask somebody with knowlegde in Linux internals.
[10:15] <michael_> hello everybody
[10:15] <sixforty> Is there a friendlier alternative to sed for making the same change across several files?
[10:16] <Jokka> robg_ , so the lost+found could be traces from an old OS?
[10:16] <robg_> Jokka: cannot tell from here. I thought you wanted to boot from that drive.
[10:16] <Jokka> adam7, i cant change it.. "operation not supported by blackened"
[10:16] <Jokka> robg_ ,no i just want it as extra storage
[10:16] <adam7> Jokka: what filesystem is that?
[10:17] <adam7> ext3?
[10:17] <robg_> Jokka; for storage it needs to be formatted and recognized by the OS.
[10:17] <Jokka> adam7, what is what? the lost+found?
[10:18] <Jokka> robg_, well i have it runnin and all but i want it empty.
[10:18] <adam7> Jokka: what operation was not supported by the backend -- renaming the lost+found folder? I don't think you can do that
[10:18] <michael_> only the ext3 have the lost and found dir
[10:18] <robg_> Jokka: you cannot empty a drive. Partitions are deleted by deleting a pointer to a file. The file stays there until overwriten.
[10:18] <Jokka> adam7, changing the name of drive, but i think i kinda found the problem. i need to convert it to ntfs.
[10:19] <alzamabar>  Hi, I've just changed the content of /etc/environment. Is there a way to have Ubuntu to pick up the changes without having to restart the system?
[10:19] <rodolfo_> hi there. after I've started up the system, the window border is gone. I mean there's no window border. there's no window decoration either. That doesn't happen everytime but someone has any idea of what triggers this window decorator behavior?
[10:19] <michael_> jokka, you cant use some tools to read the ext3 driver in the windows os
[10:20] <esteth> rodolfo_, Are you using desktop effects / compiz ?
[10:20] <Jokka> michael_ , hu?
[10:20] <adam7> Jokka: you shouldn't have to convert it to ntfs to change the name -- I have a bunch of linux filesystem drives here with nice names
[10:20] <rodolfo_> esteth: yes I am
[10:20] <adam7> in fact, if you plan to use hte drive with linux, don't use ntfs
[10:20] <A_I_> changelog ? anybody knows ? it's to prove that ssl bug has been corrected in Ubuntu
[10:20] <Jokka> adam7, well  i cant put things into the drive either
[10:20] <adam7> A_I_: see the topic
[10:21] <adam7> Jokka: this is correct -- you'll have to set permissions on the drive to make it readable to other users than root
[10:21] <Jokka> i made the drive ext3 in gparted
[10:21] <rodolfo_> esteth: that's just because sometimes I need that zoom function that comes with C-F
[10:21] <esteth> rodolfo_, It's a fairly common problem. opening a terminal and launching "metacity --replace" or "emerald --replace" depending on which decorator you use should solve it
[10:21] <Jokka> adam7, how to?
[10:21] <adam7> Jokka: do you know where the drive is mounted?
[10:21] <michael_> chmod
[10:21] <alzamabar> I found it. The command is rehash
[10:22] <Jokka> adam7, i followed http://keystoneit.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/add-a-hard-drive-in-ubuntu/
[10:22] <rodolfo_> esteth, indeed it worked out. I have C-F icon already installed but I wonder if this problem has something to do with my video card, which is intel GMA915
[10:22] <adam7> Jokka: do this in a terminal and post the output : ls /mount
[10:22] <A_I_> adam7 thank you, too much speaking people here made it disappear ;-)
[10:22] <Jokka> i made a folder in /media
[10:22] <Jokka> adam 7 alrajt
[10:23] <rodolfo_> esteth, or is this just a C-F issue?
[10:23] <adam7> Jokka: sorry, that command should read ls /media
[10:23] <Jokka> adam7, cdrom  cdrom0  film  floppy  floppy0  Games  mISC  MP3
[10:23] <Jokka>  its aint there
[10:24] <esteth> rodolfo_, I'm not aware with quite how the issue works, or it's origin, all i know is that restarting the window decorator solves it temporarily :(
[10:24] <Jokka> oh, it was lol "film" is the one
[10:24] <robg_> Jokka: did you perform gparted operations on that disk ?
[10:24] <wizo> hey guys, i just compiled and ran a simple openGL code, it basically just displays a box. when i execute the executable from terminal, the image gets corrupted with with the terminal, and it doesnt have a minimize button, maximize, or close button
[10:25] <wizo> anyone knows how to solve it?
[10:25] <Jokka> robg_ , what i did was formatting it to ext3 through gparted
[10:25] <adam7> Jokka: ok -- you should have to do all those steps in the wordpress page to get the hard drive in the same spot every time -- renaming the drive should be sufficent
[10:25] <bullgard4> sixforty: In Synaptic, searching for 'locale', I compared what German packages are installed with another well-functioning Hardy computer. I found no package missing. Besides, I opened another Ubuntu Linux user account on this computer. It showed all GNOME entries correctly in German.
[10:25] <robg_> Jokka: if you re-format a disk then you destroy everything on it.
[10:25] <rodolfo_> esteth, huum can you help me with some tips to provide better details about this issue? next time it happens I will file a BR to compiz-fusion devs and let 'em know
[10:26] <adam7> Jokka: at any rate, since you've done that already, let's move on (will let you save stuff on the disk with any user): sudo chmod 777 /media/film
[10:26] <robg_> Jokka: I strongly advise you to save to plastic rather than steel.
[10:26] <sigvart> When I press the mute button on my laptop, there is a delay for about 2 sec before the audio is muted. Is there any way to remove this delay? Volume up and down works with no delay, and mute PCMhas no delay...
[10:26] <esteth> rodolfo_, Normally searching the ubuntuforums will throw up the issue, and a link to a bug in the appropriate place. Searching the bugtracker for compiz (if there is one) might throw up a solution/cause in the comments, also
[10:26] <majikins> hi can anyone help me with the debmirror application pls?
[10:26] <Jokka> adam7, thx, now it seems to be working. i wonder if i could just delete the folder wit rmdir
[10:27] <ubuntu> hey guys i need help
[10:27] <Jokka> robg_ , hu..? u confuse me:P
[10:27] <adam7> Jokka: lost+found? I don't think you can, but I might be wrong
[10:27] <adam7> !ask | ubuntu
[10:27] <icewaterman> what happened to the k7-optimized kernel in ubuntu? there seems to be only a generic kernel and an ancient i386 one
[10:27] <robg_> Jokka: use CDs, DVDs, Blue Ray
[10:27] <Jokka> adam7. worked perfectly
[10:27] <adam7> Jokka: ok, good to know
[10:28] <ubuntu> can anyone help me
[10:28] <wizo> hey, where can i upload a picture so that you guys can view it
[10:28] <adam7> ubuntu: we need to know what your question is first
[10:28] <Jokka> adam7, yeah. but i still cant rename it
[10:28] <wizo> i need someone to take a look at what's wrong with my desktop
[10:28] <adam7> wizo: try xs.to, it'll give you a url
[10:28] <wizo> ok thanks adam7
[10:28] <sixforty> bullgard4: ls -a  in the ~ of the original user and of the new, working user. Compare the dotfiles. Sorry, but I think that's as far as I can take you.
[10:29] <rodolfo_> esteth thank you.
[10:29] <ubuntu> i installed ubuntu and i have a wireless card but it doesnt read it or doesnt let me log on to the internet using it
[10:29] <adam7> Jokka: tune2fs -L newname /dev/hdx1 where /dev/hdx1 is the drive you want to rename
[10:29] <Jokka> adam7, w000t?
[10:29] <ubuntu> so?
[10:29] <Dr_willis> ubuntu a lot will depend on the EXACT wireless card you have.
[10:30] <Dr_willis> !wireless | ubuntu
[10:30] <c1|freaky> how do i enable desktop effects in ubuntu?
[10:30] <eth01> Dr_willis: lazy
[10:30] <ubuntu> oh
[10:30] <wizo> c1|freaky: system, preferences, appearance
[10:30] <adam7> Jokka: you get it?
[10:31] <Jokka> adam7, nope
[10:31] <sixforty> where does ubuntu get the 'template' for new user's home directory? I'm used to /home/skel.
[10:31] <Dr_willis> eth01,  hes all yours then.
[10:31] <user__> can i see passwords in linux?
[10:31] <ubuntu> not really but ill try to figure it out
[10:31] <Jokka> adam7, that last thing made me look like a big question mark
[10:31] <adam7> Jokka: do you know the device name of your hard drive?
[10:31] <adam7> Jokka: is it a usb drive?
[10:31] <ubuntu> no its not
[10:32] <Jokka> adam7 dev/sdb1
[10:32] <ubuntu> its built in to my laptop
[10:32] <adam7> Jokka: ok, so using : tune2fs -L newname /dev/sda1
[10:32] <user__> how to mount my usb device
[10:32] <Dr_willis> ubuntu - start with tracking down your exact wireless card/chipset -    thats a must know bit of info.,   the command 'lspci' will give you some info that should mention the card/chipset
[10:32] <Jokka> adam7, run that in terminal but change "newname" to the name?
[10:33] <bullgard4> sixforty: Comparing the dotfiles is tedious, isn't it?  -- What I have done last night, in ~ I renamed .gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf and rebooted. There was no change in the language of the GNOME identifiers.
[10:33] <adam7> Jokka: yep -- you might have to sudo it, I'm not certain
[10:33] <Riot777> hi, is there issue with firefox 3 on ubuntu that this app is not staying at the bottom of the apps or beneath them? anyone know how to fix this? On 7.10 firefox 2 didn't had this issue
[10:33] <Jokka> adam7, tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1 was the anserw
[10:33] <ubuntu> where do i change the name sorry im a newbie
[10:34] <esteth> ubuntu, type "/nick yournewname" without the "
[10:34] <wizo> adam7: know of any other sites? xs.to doesnt seem to be loading..
[10:35] <adam7> wizo: imageshack.us
[10:35] <wizo> ah yes
[10:35] <wizo> one sec
[10:35] <Jokka> wtf! it still has 7gig used..

[10:36] <adam7> Jokka: really?
[10:36] <Jokka> adam7, yeah.. allthough ls gives me nothin ^^
[10:37] <adam7> Jokka: I think some of the space might be reserved for the root user -- I don't know how to fix that though
[10:37] <roycruse> hi - can someone help me with some hard disk management in ubuntu - im not sure what im doing exactly

[10:39] <michael_> king7, you just need to install the ubuntu artwork
[10:39] <ihsan30954> this take so long time, upgrading gutsy to hardy ...
[10:39] <adam7> wizo: some would call it that. I'm pretty sure you don't need to bother with a report, as it happens for most of us :)
[10:40] <xlogik> Can anyone help with getting ubuntu to re-recognize my nvidia gfx card? There is no option for me to select my drivers in the Restricted Drivers
[10:40] <wizo> adam7: ah ok, cool cool, i guess i can live without the fancy stuff
[10:40] <adam7> wizo: yeah, you can turn it on/off as needed.
[10:40] <wizo> had me worried for a second
[10:40] <wizo> thought i broke something
[10:40] <michael_> or you can install the boot manager
[10:40] <king7> I already have the artwork
[10:41] <michael_> just install the boot manager
[10:41] <Andrew___> will it reconise my table stylse
[10:41] <king7> how do I install the boot manager
[10:41] <wizo> thanks adam7
[10:42] <roycruse> ok - i have ubuntu installed on a 40gb hard drive and have 2 other 200gb hard drives which formally were a windows xp jbod 400gb disk - they both apear as 203.9 GB Media but i dont know how to repartition them and make them usable in ubuntu
[10:42] <michael_> i install it a long time ago
[10:42] <adam7> wizo: no problem
[10:42] <michael_> you can find it by command: apt-cache search bootmanager
[10:42] <michael_> or just find it from the gui
[10:43] <killerboy> hi
[10:43] <michael_> search bootmanager
[10:43] <killerboy> where can i find some photos of apples for desktop wallpaper?
[10:43] <robg_> roycruse: repartitioning destroys everything on the drives
[10:43] <michael_> killerboy
[10:43] <c1|freaky> if I installed kubuntu and additionally installed ubuntu-desktop and would now like to remove all kubuntu applications, KDE and everything from kubuntu so i get a vanilla ubuntu-desktop - is that possible?

[10:44] <michael_> wait a minute, i try it
[10:44] <killerboy> ok, thanks
[10:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> this is an example from the net user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 however I wish to include in that the only I have write permission while everyone has read permission, what do I add?
[10:44] <king7> brb
[10:44] <killerboy> ok
[10:44] <robg_> roycruse: ask somebody with knowlegde of linux internals how to mount the drives in linux.
[10:45] <michael_> you are welcome
[10:45] <tyler> adam7: osmo is not in the respitories?
[10:45] <bigjoe4> how do I stop ubuntu from asking for default keyring when the PC starts?
[10:46] <Dr_willis> roycruse,  theres a great many guides/tutorials on mounting - it depends on what exactly you are trying to mount.. In short -> 'sudo mount /dev/devicename  /media/mountpoint'
[10:46] <killerboy> michael_: hmm, i haven't found any apples photos
[10:46] <adam7> tyler: it may not be, one sec, I'll get you a link
[10:46] <StrongMotive> hi
[10:46] <tyler> does anyone know of a good calender/appointments/tasks/ application with reminders for ubuntu? Anyone else....thanks adam7
[10:47] <roycruse> how can i get a list of devices so i now what named disk to mount
[10:47] <killerboy> michael_: some other places to look at?
[10:47] <adam7> tyler: yeah, you better find another one unless you are feeling lucky ;)
[10:47] <StrongMotive> Hi All. What's the best media player you all think?
[10:47] <adam7> they only have source, no ubuntu packages
[10:47] <adam7> !best | StrongMotive
[10:47] <Dr_willis> roycruse,  sudo fdisk -l     should show all devices on the system
[10:47] <bitumen2003> vcl
[10:47] <michael_> sorry
[10:47] <michael_> i find all my theme from there
[10:47] <adam7> StrongMotive: having said that, vlc and mplayer are usually work well
[10:47] <BryanWB> can anyone tell me how to upgrade my kernel to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:48] <tyler> adam7: theres gonna be a mainstream one thats in the respitories....sometimes they intrigrate this stuff in email clients or whatever
[10:48] <tyler> does anyone know of a good calender/appointments/tasks/ application with reminders for ubuntu? Anyone else....
[10:48] <adam7> tyler: yeah, check out evolution
[10:48] <tyler> anyone else tried evolution?
[10:48] <Dr_willis> !info evolution
[10:49] <BryanWB> tyler: evolution is annoying but does the job. Sunbird is worth checking out
[10:49] <Dr_willis> dosent fluxbox have one also. called orange? or somthing like that.
[10:49] <Dr_willis> oops i mean xfce. :)
[10:49] <bitumen2003> i don't like evolution but it's got a lot of features
[10:49] <tyler> bryanWB: you prefer sunbird over evolution then?
[10:49] <robg_> BryanWB: I have notices Gmail notifiers in Add/Remove
[10:50] <esteth> Does anyone know of a lightweight email client that can minimize to tray and play sounds on new mail?
[10:50] <BryanWB> tyler: haven't tried sunbird but it's connected to Thunderbid whick I prefer to Evolution
[10:50] <michael_> king7
[10:50] <king7> Ok, all I had to do was: apt-get remove usplash-theme-ubuntustudio
[10:50] <king7> and it reverted it
[10:50] <owh> I'm experiencing an intermittent solid freeze on suspend of my Thinkpad running Gutsy. In order to locate the problem and locate/create an appropriate bug report I need to figure out a way to determine what is actually happening that might be causing this. Can anyone suggest any such methods?
[10:50] <adam7> tyler: you can try evolution, it comes with ubuntu by default, so there won't be any installing
[10:50] <tyler_2> adam7: how do you add ssh keys now?
[10:50] <king7> michael_: ?
[10:50] <michael_> you can install  the startupmanager
[10:50] <killerboy> michael_: hey, i found something very interesting: http://www.wallpaperpimper.com

[10:52] <tyler_2> I am looking for an ssh key handler, seahorse will not recognise my ssh keys :(
[10:53] <tyler_2> adam7: its alright man, just a bit frustrated on this one thing is all
[10:53] <Baby_Shambl3s> in fstab when using command noexec what is meant by binary i.e. programs? If that si sued could users still open music files from th HD?
[10:53] <owh> Thank you
[10:53] <gordonjcp> wtf is it with Turkey?
[10:53] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  anything thats been marked 'executable' ie: with chmod +x whatever
[10:54] <matyy> is there a way to configure the gnome language settings within the home folder?
[10:54] <gordonjcp> today I've had a massive amount of ICQ spam from Turkish people
[10:54] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  since music files are not normally executable - shouldent be a issue.
[10:54] <roycruse> ive tried typing sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb1 but i get the error bad primary partition 0 - how can i repartition this disk
[10:54] <michael_> is there anyone can help me ,when i start the firefox 3 beta 5 ,sometimes it will be fullscreen mode
[10:55] <virtuald> roycruse: /dev/sdb
[10:55] <aleatorio> Life hier?
[10:55] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: ok just need to know this is a media hd just for music and films, a few word documents and pdfs so need to know if they would still run with the command noexec if it was included in fstab
[10:55] <virtuald> roycruse: the "1" means the first partition
[10:55] <owh> michael_: Most likely it will stay in whatever the mode was when it was last quit. So close all windows, launch it, set the size, then quit. All should be normal. Mind you, I've not tried this, but I expect that is how it will work.
[10:55] <xlogik> Can anyone guide me through getting ubuntu to recognize my nvidia gfx card? In the Hardware Drivers section there are no options for me to select a driver.
[10:56] <michael_> owh: thank you
[10:56] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  try it and see.. will proberly work. but  it proberly wont matter much either way. Its more of a security thing but proberly wont affect you much.
[10:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> this is an example from the net user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 however I wish to include in that the only I have write permission while everyone has read permission, what do I add or change?
[10:56] <michael_> i meant it will fullscreen like pressed the f11 button
[10:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: thanx will do so having to manually add things to fstab as the disks werent present when ubuntu installed :'(
[10:57] <king7> Do you guys like firefox3 over opera?
[10:57] <michael_> and the bord of firefox will go under my gnome panel
[10:57] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,   i rarely see noexec  used. If you are truely paranoid I guess. :) Dont forget the nosuid also!
[10:57] <jussi01> !poll | king7
[10:57] <michael_> so i cant close it
[10:57] <owh> michael_ I understand what you are saying, but if you quit the browser completely and start it, set the window properly, then quit it with that single window, all should be back to normal.
[10:58] <grobda24> xlogik ... you have to be connected to the internet. when you enable the driver ( your're on the right window) an ypdated driver will be downloaded and then you hv to restart to enable it.
[10:58] <king7> Nothing but bots in this channel
[10:58] <michael_> ok
[10:58] <michael_> thank you
[10:58] <michael_> i just think that maybe some script do this
[10:58] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: what does nosuid does, i am not paranoid but i just dont want others running games etc on the disk, just want them to listen or watch the movies I got thats all
[10:58] <jussi01> king7: bestbot collects opinions - go ask him
[10:59] <grobda24> How do I pause the Compiz cube in mid rotation PERMANENTLY, until the end of time (well, maybe for a few minutes :P).
[10:59] <king7> In #ubuntu-bots ?
[10:59] <AcornAcorn> With the dictionary program, is it possible to search a specific dictionary?
[10:59] <jussi01> king7: yes
[10:59] <michael_> owh what is the flash player do you use in your firefox3
[10:59] <king7> How do I ask him a question
[11:00] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  prevents suid programs from rnning.. what filesystem is this disk anyway?    they could always copy the games to /tmp or their home dirs and run  them.
[11:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> this is an example from the net user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 however I wish to include in that the only I have write permission while everyone has read permission, what do I add or change?
[11:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: fat32 in fstab I put it as vfat
[11:00] <raulh> does anyone know how to install wine if u use this source code? sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[11:00] <michael_> is there anyone use the nonfree adobe flash player in firefox3 and that is no sound.
[11:01] <Mr_Bad_News> can anyone help me , flash is causing firefox to lag and freeze and mozilla-mplayer is causing my entire window manager to crash
[11:01] <raulh> it gets saved in ect folder how do i compile
[11:01] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: yeah they could but I know they wont and tmp gets deleted on boot :D so most likely home which is what im forcing them to do, i dont want any gibberish on the hds this time
[11:01] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  id say mount the thing.. look at the permissions and what users can do..  a problem with the dmask MIGHT be that people will be unable to enter  directories.
[11:02] <xlogik> grobda24: I had my system working but I ended up updated and the upgrade broke something... Ive tried a modprobe and I get the error "Module Nvidia not found"
[11:02] <michael_> Mr_Bad_News, maybe you can change an other player
[11:02] <steph33560> Hello
[11:03] <steph33560> Does somebody else use virt-manager here ?
[11:03] <michael_> these is three pugin in the source
[11:03] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: so dmask might be bad to tell you the truth i dont exctly know all the command and what they do so its more of trial and error, howerver will keep dmask out if thats what your saying
[11:03] <Mr_Bad_News> i like mplayer
[11:03] <Mr_Bad_News> i can save movies to my harddrive and its fast
[11:03] <Mr_Bad_News> why does flash cause firefox to lag
[11:03] <michael_> yes
[11:03] <owh> steph33560: Most likely you are better off asking your virt-manager question in #ubuntu-server.
[11:03] <michael_> i dont know
[11:03] <Baby_Shambl3s> Mr_Bad_News: which ff you got?
[11:03] <steph33560> owh, ok, there I go !
[11:03] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  thers dozens of guides out the descibe this stuff.. but basicially i would say try it and see. :)  if its not what you want..  tweak it some more.
[11:03] <raulh> i used sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list to download wine, but it turns out its a source... how can i compile it and where can i find the files
[11:04] <michael_> adobe not suppot linux well
[11:04] <Mr_Bad_News> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:<IP_ADDRESS>) Gecko/20080418 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/<IP_ADDRESS>
[11:04] <owh> raulh: You should consider just using Synaptic, rather than compile from source.
[11:04] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: yah trial and error I seem to be doing that a lot lately in ubuntu
[11:04] <AcornAcorn> With the dictionary program, is it possible to search a specific dictionary?
[11:04] <raulh> (03:04:03 AM) michael_: adobe not suppot linux well = wrong=
[11:04] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  directories must be 'executable' in order for users to  access whats in them.
[11:04] <raulh> i got cs3 working
[11:04] <AcornAcorn> say if I wanted to search a german word to find out what it is in english..
[11:04] <michael_> raulh
[11:04] <raulh> owh its wine..
[11:04] <Slart> raulh: "turns out it's a source" ??? how did you come to this conclusion?
[11:05] <Baby_Shambl3s> Mr_Bad_News: weird should do that run firefox from terminal it should give you something useful and go to the site that makes it crash
[11:05] <owh> raulh: Yes, I know that. Wine is also available as a package in Synaptic.
[11:05] <raulh> i dont use ubuntu much ..
[11:05] <michael_> but i just find that when i use the firefox to open some site with a lot flash ,the browser will slow
[11:05] <michael_> and i use the adobe pugin
[11:05] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: ok well than will just use command defaults with rw and user hopefully that makes me have read & write while others only read
[11:05] <owh> raulh: System -> Administration -> Synaptic, search for wine, install it.
[11:06] <raulh> micheal uninstall that plugin
[11:06] <raulh> and use a linux flash player?
[11:06] <raulh> firefox gives u 3 choices i think
[11:06] <raulh> thnx owh
[11:06] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  defaults with just 'r' you mean? for read only?
[11:06] <michael_> iyes
[11:06] <AcornAcorn> raulh: are the others better?
[11:06] <michael_> i know
[11:06] <raulh> acorn, it depends.
[11:06] <michael_> i use it ,because the flash with no sound
[11:06] <perlmonkey> how do you restart X mid-session, if you make changes to xorg.conf and want them to take effect?
[11:07] <michael_> i tried all the three pugin
[11:07] <Dr_willis> perlmonkey,  alt-ctrl-backspace will force x to restart right then and there.. :)
[11:07] <perlmonkey> CTRL + ALT + Backspace?
[11:07] <ushimitsudoki> perlmonkey: a dirty way is CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[11:07] <perlmonkey> merci :)
[11:07] <Dr_willis> perlmonkey,  or restart the gdm service
[11:07] <perlmonkey> cool
[11:07] <raulh> anyone have tips of making ubuntu faster for me? i only have a 8mb ram video card
[11:07] <michael_> and finaly i choice the adobe pugin ,and still no sound , the i dont change it
[11:08] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: well i want myself to have read*write so thats rw while everyone else should be r but hwo do i show it in fstab?
[11:08] <rumpel> @rauhl perhaps other windowmanager?...
[11:08] <perlmonkey> do you know about adding monitor modelines to the monitor section of xorg.conf? is it necessary to do anything to start X with a specific modeline command switch, or can you switch between modes in X?
[11:08] <raulh> im using X is that too much ...
[11:08] <michael_> raulh, maybe i can send you a card with 32m
[11:08] <michael_> raulh
[11:09] <raulh> im in arizona :'(
[11:09] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  thats what the umask/dmask is for i think. Id have to just try whar you were doing . and see if it works..  You can talk about it all day long.. eventually you will just have to try it and see.
[11:09] <rumpel> @perlmonkey nvidia?
[11:09] <michael_> im in chinese
[11:09] <michael_> hi
[11:09] <rumpel> ni hao ^^
[11:09] <michael_> can anyone tell me how can i let the flash speak
[11:09] <raulh> is ur soundcard installed?
[11:09] <michael_> rumpel,ni ye hao
[11:10] <perlmonkey> rumpel: hi there, I'm using an MGA card
[11:10] <michael_> hehe
[11:10] <Baby_Shambl3s> raulh: what are you pc specs im sure if you got enough ram it shouldnt be much of a problem especially if your bios allows video to ram "soemthing on those lines"
[11:10] <michael_> of cause
[11:10] <Slart> michael_: are you using hardy? pulseaudio?
[11:10] <raulh> 512ram 733ghz D:<
[11:10] <michael_> just the flash no sound
[11:10] <michael_> yes
[11:10] <michael_> hardy
[11:10] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: yah true this is what i got so far UUID=B9A2-F162                            /media/sdc2     vfat    user,auto,defaults,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,rw 0 0 does ti seem ok
[11:10] <michael_> the other application normal
[11:10] <michael_> only the flash
[11:10] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know why mozilla-mplayer crashes my window manager?
[11:10] <Baby_Shambl3s> gees was hopig for one line
[11:11] <grobda24> xlogik ... search http://wiki.ubuntu.com
[11:11] <Slart> michael_: in your system, preference, sound, set everything to use pulseaudio
[11:11] <perlmonkey> :(
[11:11] <michael_> slart
[11:11] <_21h_> hello
[11:11] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  i dont think you want to use 'user' and 'auto' -  theres also users...   user and users - normally let the users mount/have full access to things.
[11:12]  * perlmonkey needs to switch video modes for monitor in X, how to?
[11:12] <michael_> these it no sound item in my perference
[11:12] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  if you are using 'auto' then its auto mounting at boot anyway
[11:12] <michael_> ok
[11:12] <michael_> i found it
[11:12] <raulh> can linux support two monitors at once?
[11:12] <raulh> or can ubuntu?
[11:12] <Slart> !dualhead | raulh
[11:12] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  but  it may be smarter then we are. and doing the senceable thing when told conflicting options
[11:13] <Dr_willis> raulh,  i use 2 monitors all the time on my nvidia card
[11:13] <ushimitsudoki> raulh: yes i run 3 monitors for example currently
[11:13] <_21h_> yes
[11:13] <owh> raulh: Given that you're talking on my left monitor and I'm reading a web page on my right monitor whilst running Ubuntu, the answer is yes :)
[11:13] <raulh> kay D:
[11:13] <rumpel> @perlmonkey usually they have to be placed in xorg.conf, i guess...  for nvidia-cards i use nvidia-settings
[11:13] <_21h_> kernel 2.6.25 in 8.04 repository now?
[11:14] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: so auto just mounts it at boot while keeping user/user out wont give them full access... well most of those lines got from the netin ubuntu documentation but i think that was written aroud dapper time
[11:14] <_21h_> I need support for my b4311 rev2 wifi card
[11:14] <perlmonkey> rumpel: yes, but I'm wondering how you switch between the modes in X?
[11:14] <xlogik> Can anyone guide me through getting ubuntu to re-recognize my nvidia gfx card? In the Hardware Drivers section there are no options for me to select a driver and modprobe gives the error "FATAL: Module nvida not found."
[11:15] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  ive noticed that a lot of times people toss in way too many options. :)  or redundant options
[11:15] <rumpel> @perlmonkey System->Settings/Preferences->Screen Resolution (?)
[11:15] <raulh> see, theres a problem when i connect my second videocard, my bios settings freeze, is this common?
[11:15] <Uplink> My sound is really distortionated! please someone help :(
[11:15] <m14> xlogik , try reinstall nv driver ?
[11:16] <xlogik> m14: tried that even tried to use EnvyNg
[11:16] <_21h_> raulh, YES
[11:16] <raulh> how can i fix the bios from bitching D;
[11:16] <_21h_> bla
[11:16] <Uplink> lol
[11:16] <poopuser> hi!i started using 'awesome' wm and i have small problem:clicking 'go to the directory' on firecox download list startups genome file manager but how can i start it whibout going throu mozilla?
[11:17] <Dr_willis> !info awesome
[11:17] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: user= when mounted the mount point is owned by the user who mounted the partition this is from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 explains quite clearly basically using user thats root which means i ahve to do chmod but if i use users than it includes me and no one else "at least thats how i see it"
[11:17] <xlogik> m14: no luck.... My sound is also messed up to
[11:18] <_21h_> kernel 2.6.25 in 8.04 repository now? I need support for my b4311 rev2 wifi card
[11:18] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: true but i have no clue what fmask & dmask is or what the numbers mean so wouldnt know if I need them or not
[11:18] <sam_> any ideas how i can use squid to transparently redirect updates to an apt-cacher server on the local network?
[11:18] <StrongMotive> for pidgin, to add an msn, in screename you put your email address?
[11:18] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  if using  auto, then root will be mounting it at boot time.  i recall 'user' often being used for vfat if you wanted the user to have full acccess.      so 'auto' and 'user' are sort of conflicting.
[11:18] <m14> xlogik: maybe try envyng ?
[11:18] <Bill_MI> Hi folks.  URLs from .desktop files stop at any question mark (?) when launched in Hardy.  It's a reported bug.... anyone hear of solutions coming?
[11:18] <ushimitsudoki> xlogik: i install the nvidia drivers manually myself. its a bit of a pain, but certainly doable. Here is a guide I use: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[11:19] <raulh> if i use this 8mb mga g400 agp and a issi how can i get the bios from freezing when the issi card is connected??
[11:19] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  you do not chmod files, or mountpoints for vfat filesystems . thats what the  varios *mask* options handle.
[11:19] <ablomen> hi, does anybody know of a pain-free way to install firefox 2 on hardy?
[11:19] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  fmask and dmask set the default modes for files and directories. -   since you cant use chmod.
[11:19] <rumpel> @ablomen synaptic
[11:19] <Ademan> why would apt hold back updates that haven't been version pinned?
[11:19] <Dr_willis> ablomen,  its in the repos.
[11:20] <xlogik> ushimitsudoki: Thanks ill take a look now...
[11:20] <Ademan> specifically openssh-server and openssh-client!
[11:20] <poopuser> '!info awesome: event not found' any other suggestions?
[11:20] <Ademan> i need to update them... badly
[11:20] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: oh ok just tried mount -a and it seems to work but because you wrote that about coflicting how do i check if such thing is happeneign or mayhappen?
[11:20] <Dr_willis> Ademan,  you refering to the ssh updates? - because the the updates will regeernate the keys.
[11:20] <Finnish> I'm trying to install Hardy, and it gives me a screen about BusyBox version etc and installation won't go on
[11:20] <Finnish> ?
[11:20] <ablomen> Dr_willis, rumpel, ah thanks yeah i looked over it, thanks
[11:20] <Ademan> Dr_willis: hrm, how would i get around that then?
[11:20] <Dr_willis> Baby_Shambl3s,  see if your users have the permissions to do what you want.  mount always seems to take the sane route when told such things.
[11:21] <LostOverThere> Hi, I'm having a problem with gnome-system-monitor, where its CPU usage is anywhere between 50-100%
[11:21] <virtuald> Finnish: is that before or after reboot?
[11:21] <Dr_willis> Ademan,  i did a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'  the TOPIC has some info on the ssh stuff
[11:21] <robg_> Finnish: try to install from what ?
[11:21] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: ok
[11:21] <garu> hi
[11:21] <Baby_Shambl3s> LostOverThere: ive seen that when over clocking or it might be index if it is a clean install
[11:21] <Aperculum> is there an interface for adding repositories?
[11:22] <raulh> can anyone help me on setting up a normal multihead with ubuntu?
[11:22] <jst33zy> Aperculum Yes its software sources in the menu
[11:22] <magnetron> Aperculum: yes. System > Administration > Software sources
[11:22] <LostOverThere> Hmm, thanks Baby_Shambl3s, when I run it from terminal I get a "WARNING: SELinux was found but was not enabled" error
[11:23] <Finnish> virtuald: I booted and it still gives me that
[11:23] <LostOverThere> I did a fresh installed, but the error occured in Gutsy as well
[11:23] <Finnish> robg_: CD
[11:23] <perlmonkey> rumpel: thanks veyr much
[11:23] <Aperculum> thanks jst33zy magnetron
[11:23] <robg_> Finnish: single or multi-boot ?
[11:23] <Ademan> Dr_willis: thanks, do you know if the dist-upgrade will automagically update your keys, or if i need to do it myself?
[11:23] <jst33zy> nnnp
[11:23] <Finnish> Multiboot
[11:23] <Finnish> XP is another OS
[11:24] <robg_> Dual-boot with Windows ?
[11:24] <mechdave> Finnish, you call it an OS?
[11:24] <jst33zy> thats mean
[11:24] <raulh> can anyone help me setting up a norrmal multihead in ubuntu? please D:
[11:24] <perlmonkey> S3 SuperSavage IX/C has no +5v out on pin 9 :(
[11:25] <perlmonkey> sux
[11:25] <perlmonkey> how much current is available on PS/2 keyboard +5 out?
[11:26] <Baby_Shambl3s> Dr_willis: care to help me add my ntfs hd as ive seen the tuts but they all want me to add third part support which is not needed in hardy?
[11:26] <Baby_Shambl3s> in fstab what does relatime stand for?
[11:26] <remoteCTR1> in which file do i build bash aliases?
[11:27] <jst33zy> remoteCTR1 ~.bashrc
[11:27] <perlmonkey> remoteCTR1: ~/.bash_profile
[11:27] <remoteCTR1> jst33zy: .bashrc not is is, thanks perlmonkey!
[11:28] <tyrion> Hi, how can i completely reset my Battery Power History Statistics ?
[11:28] <jst33zy> i use .basrc
[11:28] <perlmonkey> remoteCTR1: remember to do a source ~/.bash_profile after adding aliases
[11:28] <remoteCTR1> jst33zy: uhuh i see that is news to me then:]
[11:28] <Dr_willis> I was thinking the .bash* files mentioned a .bash_alias file :) alias's could go in about any of them.. you just have to pay attention to what you are doing
[11:28] <b4l74z4r> when i move around windows on the desktop, i get some horizontal lines/disturbances across the windows, does anyone else get that?
[11:28] <Finnish> mechdave: I use it for multitrack audio stuff
[11:28] <remoteCTR1> perlmonkey: ok, thanks alot!
[11:29] <jst33zy> remoteCTR1 or you could make a seperate .bash_aliases file
[11:29] <remoteCTR1> jst33zy: hehe no thanks;)
[11:29] <m14> b4l74z4r: ATI card ?
[11:29] <b4l74z4r> m14, no, nvidia
[11:30] <AcornAcorn> with hardy ubuntu do you have to install compiz themes? or do metacity themes work as well?
[11:30] <tc111> in a terminal, when i type 'sudo -s' it asks for my p/w but after i enter it i get 'Aborted'... googling turns up nil... any ideas?
[11:30] <m14> b4l74z4r: u installed nv driver ?
[11:30] <Dr_willis> AcornAcorn,  compiz can use 3 different window decorators.. one of them uses the metacity themes.
[11:30] <b4l74z4r> m14, yes
[11:31] <m14> b4l74z4r: nvidia-settings installed ?
[11:31] <AcornAcorn> Dr_willis: so it's fine for me to just download metacity themes and drag them into the theme manager?
[11:31] <b4l74z4r> m14, no
[11:31] <Dr_willis> AcornAcorn,  it can use those.. so that should work.
[11:31] <m14> b4l74z4r: apt-get install nvidia-settings
[11:31] <joep>  Can somebody help with my problem of sendmail refusing to connect to my local host?
[11:31] <b4l74z4r> m14, what do i have to change in the settings?
[11:32] <m14> b4l74z4r: install package and check options there ?
[11:33] <b4l74z4r> m14, i don't know anything about configuring those kind of options
[11:33] <Kifer> www.sonygsm.nmj.pl zapraszam do rejestracji
[11:33] <tc111> example: scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ sudo -s / [sudo] password for scarter:  / Aborted / scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$
[11:34] <raulh> ok so, i plugin my second videocard, the bios loads up full, and freezes, does anyone kno how i can fix this?
[11:34] <m14> b4l74z4r: that is gui for nvidia options, install it
[11:34] <Bill_MI> Looking for metacity experts: Can metacity have placement "margins" like the XFCE4 manager?
[11:35] <Mr_Bad_News> is there anything else besides mac linux and windows?
[11:36] <rsk> Mr_Bad_News: bsd
[11:36] <Mr_Bad_News> i thought bsd was linux
[11:36] <rsk> no it's not
[11:36] <Dr_willis> Mr_Bad_News,  you mean other os's ? yes..  thers dozens of them. BSD is not linux.
[11:36] <rconan> Mr_Bad_News, no
[11:36] <jst33zy> Dr_willis What>??????????????????Not Linux
[11:37] <Bill_MI> Mr_Bad_News: Linux isn't really unix, either.
[11:37] <\0> Mr_Bad_News: *BSD (several operating systems), Solaris, IRIX, TruOS, Ultrix, AIX, HP/UX, and hundreds of others
[11:37] <joep> Has anybody knowledge of sendmail?
[11:37] <Dr_willis> jst33zy,  I saw a PC mag. call Apple os - "OSXLinux" the other day. :)
[11:37] <rsk> Haiku..
[11:37] <salmiak_> eh, linux is a unix based operating system
[11:37] <jst33zy> ahah
[11:37] <rsk> reactOS
[11:37] <rsk> :D
[11:37] <Dr_willis> !linux
[11:37] <Mr_Bad_News> have you tried any \0
[11:37] <jst33zy> i see your point now
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> hey guys, when running C programs, which keyboard combo gives the EOF character?
[11:37] <Starcraftmazter> Crl+D doesnt seem to work
[11:37] <rconan> anyone know how to make back and forward mouse buttons work in nautilus?
[11:37] <robg_> linux is just another platform for the apps I need
[11:38] <Starnestommy> Starcraftmazter: maybe ctrl+c
[11:38] <Dr_willis> Starcraftmazter,  the window manager , may be grabbing it..
[11:38] <Starcraftmazter> crl+c is break
[11:38] <Starcraftmazter> i dont want break, i want eof
[11:39] <Starcraftmazter> Dr_willis: how do I fix it?
[11:39] <salmiak_> linux is an open platform in which i got full control, that's why i use it
[11:39] <Dr_willis> Starcraftmazter,  try the program from the console - see if it works there i guess.
[11:39] <Starcraftmazter> thats what im doing
[11:39] <selocol> Is it appropriate to call window manangers "applications"?
[11:39] <Dr_willis> i thought ctrl-\ was end of file also.
[11:39] <Dr_willis> Starcraftmazter,  then you eliminated that potential problem. :)
[11:40] <Starcraftmazter> crl-\ gives "Quit"
[11:40] <rumpel> crtl-f4
[11:40] <robg_> ubuntu alternate with encrypted drive is virtually unbreakable.
[11:40] <\0> Dr_willis: EOF is ctrl-d
[11:40] <Starcraftmazter> mmm no, not crl-f4
[11:41] <salmiak_> selocol, the purpose of a 'window manager' is enabling you to run your apps with as little interference from the window manager as possible. Its goal is to not be in the way. i dont think that's the purpose of an application. Applications are used to accomplish something
[11:41] <Starcraftmazter> it is crl+d on my university computers...and I swear I used it on my home comp before, but it doesnt seem to be working atm
[11:41] <Starcraftmazter> really weird, it does nothing
[11:41] <selocol> salmiak_: ok thanks
[11:41] <Dr_willis> ctrl-d twice = logout isent it.. :) been ages since i messed with these
[11:41] <neil> how do i open samba
[11:42] <tdev> I want to know that how much vi is reliable then gedit,,,?
[11:42] <Starcraftmazter> is there any chance it could be some compiz shortcut
[11:42] <Dr_willis> neil,  samba is a service.. You  use samba to access shares normally.
[11:42] <jst33zy> neil open samba or mount a samba share?
[11:42] <Starcraftmazter> and that could be messing with it
[11:42] <Dr_willis> Starcraftmazter,  you said you were in the console.. thats not the same as in a 'terminal' - yes compiz could be messing with it - if you are running this in the X gui.
[11:43] <Starcraftmazter> ahh consolse
[11:43] <Starcraftmazter> hang on, gime a second
[11:43] <Dr_willis> Starcraftmazter,  :)
[11:43] <Starcraftmazter> yeh I was in term
[11:43] <bnalohim> can anyone help me?? i got a problem and.. after cloning my hard disk I got a "GRUB" message when i try to boot the clone... do anyone has any idea how to fix it?
[11:43] <Starcraftmazter> urgh, now the shortcut for console doesnt work >_>
[11:44] <Starcraftmazter> I think I enabled one too many compiz plugins and they are overriding everything
[11:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> bnalohim: just reinstall grub again and please dont use the clone with the original content
[11:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> bnalohim: you can reintall grub with the alternat livecd or supergrub
[11:44] <neil> k9copy closes half way from copying my dvd
[11:45] <neil> why?
[11:45] <bnalohim> Baby_Shambl3s i already changed the menu.list and the fstab.. and i tried to fix the grub with a systemrescue cd.. but with no succes
[11:45] <Starcraftmazter> hmmm nope =/
[11:45] <tc111> Problem in console (ssh'd in)...  scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ sudo -s / [sudo] password for scarter: {mypass} / Aborted / scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ ... what does 'Aborted' mean and how do i fix my not being able to 'sudo'?
[11:45] <robg_> bnalohim: alternate is a single boot system
[11:45] <bnalohim> ?
[11:45] <remoteCTR1> with what command do i see what shell i ma using
[11:46] <Starnestommy> remoteCTR1: echo $0
[11:46] <poopuser> what is the bash command for listing drives (including not mounted)?
[11:46] <neil> is there any way to play a windows pc game on ubuntu
[11:46] <tyler_2> I am looking for an ssh key handler, seahorse will not recognise my ssh keys :(
[11:46] <robg_> bnalohim: strongly advise against running alternate in multiboot
[11:46] <Starnestommy> neil: you could use wine
[11:46] <cq> hello... when doing a dpkg --get-selections what does 'deinstall' mean?
[11:46] <neil> where do i get wine do u have a link
[11:47] <remoteCTR1> Starnestommy: ayeah thanks
[11:47] <adam7> !wine | neil
[11:47] <neil> thanks
[11:47] <tyler_2> anyone?
[11:47] <bnalohim> I dont understand.. sorry.. im not running any multiboot.. just trying to clone a hard drive to a smaller one
[11:47] <yacc> Any idea what could cause my evolution to crash every time I select "check for SPAM"?
[11:47] <Starcraftmazter> anyone have any other bright ideas about my EOF keyboard key problem?
[11:47] <poopuser> bash command that lists drives anyone?
[11:48] <remoteCTR1> ok next: why does my alias work locally but not on a remote machine that i am connected to with ssh (of course .bashrc exists in the aproppriate home dir and the alias is in it)
[11:48] <Slart> poopuser: df, sudo blkid, fdisk -L
[11:48] <poopuser> thx
[11:48] <Hesten> How can you install ubuntu specifically to a second hard drive? i.e. make two bootable hard drives. Do you have to specifically tell the installer not to mess with windows?
[11:48] <Dr_willis> remotecTR .bash_profile gets ran by login shells. it normally parses the .bashrc  and system /etc/profile
[11:48] <robg_> Hersten
[11:49] <la-perr> Starcraftmazter: looked at your keymap
[11:49] <robg_> Hesten: your hardware must support multibooting drives
[11:49] <Starcraftmazter> didnt work on console btw
[11:49] <Starcraftmazter> la-perr: where can i check it?
[11:50] <Bill_MI> Can metacity have placement "margins" like the XFCE4 manager?
[11:50] <remoteCTR1> Dr_willis: i just realized i got the wrong shell running-.- its tcsh, where can i change that??
[11:50] <exco> hello, what can I do if my external monitor only shows up with resolution to 1024x768 (ati x700, fglrx) in CCC but actually is a 1680x1050 one
[11:51] <Hesten> You mean being able to choose which device to boot to from bios?
[11:51] <rumpel> @exco nvidia-settings if you have nvidia. Or manually by insering modelines specific for your screen in xorg.conf
[11:51] <robg_> Hesten: right.
[11:51] <bullgard4> Is the correct syntax 'LANG=de_DE.UTF-8' or 'LANG=de_DE.UTF8'?
[11:52] <Starcraftmazter> la-perr: yo, keymap
[11:52] <Dr_willis> remotecTR no idea on tcsh - it uses totally diffrent files and alias formats I belive
[11:53] <Hesten> Yep, it can do that. Then can you select specifically which partitions ubutu copies stuff to, so that it doesnt touch the first hard disk.
[11:53] <exco> rumpel: I'm using the latest fglrx drivers -> Ati X700, about the modelines -> if I just add a monitor and modelines, how does the system know for which monitor this is? (meaning I have a section for the monitor in xorg, but atm it's not working (aka there's something wrong))
[11:53] <AcornAcorn> Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode..
[11:53] <neil> is this chat room or like a forum
[11:53] <jatt> chat room
[11:53] <robg_> Hesten: what is currently on you drive ?
[11:54] <grub> hey i need ubuntu which can run on 256mb ram {not xubuntu}
[11:54] <neil> thanks
[11:54] <jatt> you are welcome
[11:54] <grub> no upgrade cannot add ram
[11:54] <Slart> grub: ubuntu can do that too.. but you might want to take care what you run on it
[11:54] <Hesten> robg_: I think just the windows partition. Any way to check?
[11:54] <tyler> hey do u guys know if i can minmize thunderbird to the system try vs having it minmized so its awesome running and can show when i got new mail?
[11:55] <robg_> Hesten: you may not proceed without knowing exactly what is currently on your drive |!
[11:55] <Slart> tyler: I think there was/is a plugin to do that.. I used it on windows.. don't know if it works on linux though
[11:55] <Slart> tyler: hang on.. let me see if I can find it again
[11:55] <Hesten> the idea is that ubuntu goes on a second drive, not touching the first. Is that possible?
[11:55] <tyler> slart: ok thanks a lot man
[11:55] <Dr_willis> Slart,  i cant rember the name either. :)
[11:56] <AcornAcorn> Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode..
[11:56] <grub> ok but what version? i need atleast 128mb free ram!!
[11:56] <tyler> at least something exists
[11:56] <Slart> tyler: it's called "minimize to tray".. here it is for windows http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/
[11:56] <jatt> wrong password
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Hesten,  ive done that with some of my machines. I could hit F11 at boot up and tell it to boot hdb directly.  i dudent have to put grub on the windows drive  either.
[11:56] <robg_> hesten: maybe possible but not pratical. Pratical is to do a guided install in an empty paritition on your primary drive.
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Hesten,  otherwise i install linux to hdb, and just have it put the MBR on the windows hda drive.
[11:56] <rumpel> @tyler try "new mail icon"-addon...
[11:57] <Slart> grub: regular ubuntu if you want a gui.. use the server version if you do not need the gui
[11:57] <rumpel> @tyler gives you a tray-symbol and you can switch tb to another desktop
[11:57] <Jck_true> Moin got a VPS server running Ubuntu and want to intall KDE and VNC so I can connect to my VPS and se a desktop...
[11:57] <grub> you mean the 8.04? that runs like shit on my machine
[11:57] <Jck_true> I've did a apt-get install kde and everything whent smootly.. until i should start the server with startx
[11:57] <Jck_true> X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting. / xinit:  Server error.
[11:58] <Hesten> I'd rather avoid having two OSes on one drive, if at all possible. First, I don't like messing with that MBR (recently had trouble with that), and secondly provides a backup.
[11:58] <neil> where are you guys from
[11:58] <Slart> grub: well.. I run it on my small laptop.. works great.. I run it on my via mini-itx server, runs great
[11:58] <raven> hello
[11:58] <AcornAcorn> Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode..
[11:58] <Slart> grub: I don't think the older versions are better
[11:58] <grub> then what do i do??
[11:58] <raven> Hello
[11:58] <Slart> grub: but there's a new version coming out soon.. some kind of "ubuntu for ultraportables".. that might be better
[11:58] <robg_> Hesten: If you only have Windows on primary then there is no MBR.
[11:59] <neil> ?
[11:59] <raven> any body from philippines out here
[11:59] <Slart> !ph | raven
[11:59] <raven> hello
[11:59] <Industrial> I installed xmms2 but the daemon obviously not running yet. I dont see it in System > Administration > Services. How do I enable it at boot?
[11:59] <grub> ultraportables? its just a laptop!!!!
[11:59] <Jck_true> How do I start x11 on my server?
[12:00] <Test> test
[12:00] <Test> blabla
[12:00] <Dr_willis> grub and whats the specs for this laptop?
[12:00]  * Industrial gives Test a cookie .. worked!
[12:00] <Slart> grub: ok, fine, don't install it..
[12:00] <grub> 1.4ghz 256mb ram 64mb vram :-(
[12:00] <Hesten> Sorry, I must be getting confused. Does the installer not let you tell it to which partitions to use, and which ones not to touch?
[12:00] <Industrial> Hesten: you can do it manually.
[12:01] <Slart> Hesten: afaik it lets you chose.
[12:01] <Slart> Hesten: you might have to select "manual" at some point though
[12:01] <AcornAcorn> Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode..
[12:01] <grobda24> Why doesn't Mouse Keys lock the middle mouse button ?
[12:01] <Hesten> Tutorials? All the ones I've seen have just said to let it run it's business automatically.
[12:01] <mgolisch> AcornAcorn: have a look at the ~/.Xsession-errors file or so
[12:01] <Dr_willis> grub  ive ran kubuntu and ubuntu on a Pent 1 100 laptop :) befor.. it worked...  heh.  You will have to decide what sort of work you want to do with the thing I guess.
[12:01] <grub> iam sorry slart but i need a soultion (iam really sorry if i disaponted you)
[12:01] <robg_> Hesten: control over guided install is limited. Install logic is contained in installer.
[12:01] <mgolisch> dont know if that name i correct
