[04:51] <booksbuggy> whaboo, what's your question?
[04:51] <tommasa> swap should be about 2xRAM... correct?
[04:51] <booksbuggy> tommasa, yes
[04:51] <tommasa> thanks
[04:52] <tsrk> uh
[04:52] <tsrk> with less ram wouldn't you want more swap?
[04:52] <Flannel> tommasa: To a point.  You'll never need more than about 2GB swap (unless you plan on hibernating, and then you need 1x RAM)
[04:52] <ubuntu810> hi guys i can not seem to play a rented DVD can someone help please
[04:52] <booksbuggy> tsrk, well sometimes that'strue
[04:52] <crdlb> whaboo: try Display Settings
[04:52] <nickrud> tsrk, too much swap, and you get excessive swappiness ;)
[04:52] <crdlb> should be in the xfce settings manager
[04:52] <mankash> crdlb:  how to change the driver to interprid?
[04:52] <booksbuggy> tsrk, if you don't have enough disk space swap won't help
[04:52] <Hakume> It works!
[04:53] <tsrk> booksbuggy, but usually ram runs out before disk :P
[04:53] <tommasa> I thought that paging inefficiency was why you shouldn't go past 2x ram...
[04:53] <mrpockets> whats the escape key for a full screen TS client session?
[04:54] <booksbuggy> tsrk, swap space can't be substituted completely with swap because they load slower and may damage i think
[04:54] <booksbuggy> tsrk, i am running this system off 256 rams :P
[04:54] <mankash> hakume: it means ath5k module was not loaded before automatically.
[04:54] <Hakume> Thank you so very much for your assistance.
[04:54] <crdlb> mankash: just switch to the other choice in hardware drivers
[04:54] <Anacranom> mrpockets, have you tried ctrl+alt+d ?
[04:54] <crdlb> you want the one that says '5xxx'
[04:54] <Hakume> I see.
[04:54] <mrpockets> d
[04:54] <mrpockets> or delete?
[04:54] <tsrk> booksbuggy, "swap space can't be substituted completely with swap because they load slower and may damage i think" <-- What?
[04:54] <tsrk> i didn't quite understand that :P
[04:55] <oni-kun> =P
[04:55] <ubuntu810> can someone help with playing rented DVD's please
[04:55] <Hakume> Well, that's all I was going to ask, so goodbye.
[04:55] <booksbuggy> tsrk, normal harddisk is not meant to be used completely for swap
[04:55] <booksbuggy> tsrk, i tried before
[04:55] <crdlb> Hakume: I don't know why it didn't load on boot, but if it fails on your next rebot too, you can use /etc/modules to load ath5k
[04:56] <crdlb> shoudln't be necessary though
[04:56] <haowan> Transmission DHT?
[04:56] <tsrk> booksbuggy, what do you mean completely?
[04:56] <booksbuggy> tsrk, I attempted to make about 2 gb of swap before in windows
[04:56] <booksbuggy> tsrk, it didn't work and i had to reinstall the system
[04:56] <syadow> what will happen if i alway using hibernating ??? and not using shutdown ?
[04:56] <booksbuggy> my harddrive is 500gb
[04:57] <tsrk> booksbuggy, but that was windows
[04:57] <booksbuggy> syadow, normally nothing will happen
[04:57] <haowan> transmission dht ?
[04:57] <tsrk> i have 6gb of swap on one machine and it works fine
[04:57] <booksbuggy> tsrk, well i have been busy with school work so i didn't try ubuntu out yet
[04:57] <tsrk> booksbuggy, oh, i assumed that's what you were talking about considering the channel name :P
[04:58] <booksbuggy> syadow, but your swap space will get filled up
[04:58] <tsrk> btw, the 6gb it assigned using guided partitioning, i didn't choose that much
[04:58] <booksbuggy> tsrk, i haven't used too many of windows lately
[04:58] <booksbuggy> tsrk, nearly all the time i am on ubuntu
[04:58] <chu_> Hi, if I need a printer driver (CUPS BJC8200), is there an easy way (i.e. synaptic) I can get it?
[04:58] <tsrk> booksbuggy, oh
[04:58] <booksbuggy> chu_, go to system printing
[04:58] <mankash> crdlb: I am getting this error: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[04:59] <bugmanx2001> df reports that /dev/sda1 (ext3 partition) is 100% full but it can't possibly be as i'm using a fraction of the space.  even when deleting files, it doesn't report any free space.  booting from a live cd and running fsck /dev/sda1 didn't help either nor shutdown -rF now.  i'm at a total loss on how to proceed.
[04:59] <booksbuggy> chu_, do add printer and select your printer version
[04:59] <booksbuggy> chu_, then select the driver you want
[04:59] <chu_> It doesn't have my printer (actually, it has models either side of mine (Canon i550))
[05:00] <booksbuggy> chu_, hmmm
[05:00] <chu_> The CUPS BJC8200 driver works with mine, just wondering if there' an easier way to get it, I don't want to download it and have to dick around.
[05:01] <GoodFella_> im having problems with Ubuntu...sometimes I´m using my computer and when I click the minimize button on my firefox it goes to a black screen with words
[05:01] <tritium> chu_: family-friendly language, please
[05:01] <booksbuggy> so ubuntu didn't auto configure the printer?
[05:01] <GoodFella_> dont know whats the problem
[05:01] <GoodFella_> any help
[05:01] <GoodFella_> ?
[05:01] <booksbuggy> chu_, so ubuntu didn't auto configure the printer?
[05:01] <Flannel> !enter |  GoodFella_
[05:01] <chu_> Well, it configured the printer, but it won't print (I used the Canon i450 driver first), it just hangs saying "Contacting service"
[05:01] <ubuntu810> help with playing a retail DVD please
[05:01] <crdlb> mankash: are you sure you're on intrepid (8.10)?
[05:02] <Gatewarstrek> ubuntu810: medibuntu
[05:02] <chu_> It is a network printer, which could add problems?
[05:02] <CrazyDesi> ubuntu810 did u install restricted?
[05:02] <booksbuggy> chu_, well maybe the firewall is blocking it
[05:02] <crdlb> chu_: you could try getting a ppd from openprinting.org
[05:02] <MiMiSoSo> hi, ubuntu for a ps3 please... not in a microwave... can i just download any release; what do you recommend???
[05:03] <booksbuggy> chu_, I had that problem before with another program
[05:03] <mankash> crdlb: I am on 8.04
[05:03] <ubuntu810> i did what this website said to do :
[05:03] <MiMiSoSo> easy to install too.. i googled and found one with kboot... what that?
[05:03] <ubuntu810> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-dvd-under-ubuntu-linux
[05:03] <chu_> Well, I can print from a 32bit Vista machine here, (I can't configure the printer for 64bit vista though) so I am guessing it all works, and the mis-config is here, I figured maybe download an appropriate driver for the i550 might be the fix...
[05:03] <crdlb> mankash: that would be why then :)
[05:04] <mankash> can I upgrade to 8.1
[05:04] <booksbuggy> chu_, were you able to select the driver you wanted in printing?
[05:04] <crdlb> mankash: if you want to, yes; it's not a long-term support release like 8.04 is though
[05:04] <booksbuggy> chu_, because the auto configuration for my printer didn't support cups before so i had to install a second printer driver
[05:04] <crdlb> !upgrade | mankash
[05:04] <Flannel> MiMiSoSo: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.10/release/  Theres a PS3 version there
[05:05] <booksbuggy> chu_, well one for clear print and the other is for grayscale
[05:05] <GoodFella_> has anyone done an upgrade to intrepid via the upgrade button and not from the cd?
[05:05] <booksbuggy> GoodFella_, I think most people did
[05:05] <booksbuggy> GoodFella_, I didn't
[05:05] <arthus> how can I remove some software I accidently installed?
[05:05] <chu_> Basically, I think that's what I need to do, just wondering if there are any Synaptic package that do this? I don't really like messing around with stuff I *could* (and most probably will) break.
[05:05] <MiMiSoSo> thanks Flannel... is this the one with kboot... which i can just install after partitioning the disk
[05:05] <MiMiSoSo> ??
[05:06] <GoodFella_> im just checking...dont want to try it and then make my computer crash or something like that
[05:06] <GoodFella_> or lose my files
[05:06] <Flannel> MiMiSoSo: I'm not sure.  Just boot that CD, and I believe it'll do the partitioning during the install.
[05:06] <booksbuggy> chu_, well you should start with going through the drivers listed in the printer find part first
[05:06] <futsuriai> Niphyr, I am trying to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym
[05:06] <booksbuggy> chu_, that's what i did and why i suggested it
[05:06] <chu_> Where is this driver find?
[05:06] <chu_> Ehh, printer find.
[05:07] <booksbuggy> system
[05:07] <booksbuggy> printer
[05:07] <booksbuggy> printing
[05:07] <tritium> !enter | booksbuggy
[05:07] <booksbuggy> tritium, i know :P
[05:07] <amathis> does the python2.5 package include the dev package?
[05:07] <booksbuggy> tritium, that was by accident
[05:07] <MiMiSoSo> thanks Flannel.. i see its a server install.. thanks i think i can pull it off from here!
[05:07] <amathis> I cannot find a dev package in the gui application manager
[05:07] <tritium> booksbuggy: ok
[05:07] <MiMiSoSo> :)
[05:07] <plsd> I have a list of files in a .txt file, is it possible to automatically delete every row that ends in a certain extension? I want the same result as when doing "ls -i *.srt" (If that's how you did the ignore thing :) ) since apparently it's not possible to ignore stuff like that when doing "nlist . list.txt" in ftp.
[05:08] <booksbuggy> chu_, well system ->administration->printing
[05:08] <RussM> plsd, Are you looking for something like "grep -v pattern"?
[05:08] <chu_> Ok, booksbuggy, there is a printer listed, but the only reason it is listed is because I set it up, and that isn't working? :p
[05:08] <narcarsiss> how to get samba info from term
[05:08] <booksbuggy> chu_, do add printer
[05:09] <arthus> I accidently "made" an old version of a binary, how do I find it and remove it?
[05:09] <futsuriai> Hello, I can't seem to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym which I kind of need to get feedback on another error
[05:09] <plsd> RussM, not sure, never used grep. I just want to remove all files from that list that end in .srt and preferably not leave a blank row behind.
[05:09] <RussM> plsd, If the extension is .srt, try "grep -v '\.srt$' myfile.txt"
[05:10] <booksbuggy> chu_, well server-> new-> printer             to be exact
[05:10] <ubuntu810> i just did everthing this said to do as well : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[05:10] <ePax> is there a way to run .dmg fiels on ubuntu somehow or whith some simulator?
[05:11] <ePax> files*
[05:12] <ubuntu810> i installed libdvdcss2
[05:12] <chu_> Sick, it's not detecting my network! Oh well, cheers anyway.
[05:12] <ubuntu810> and i installed libdvdread3 package
[05:13] <plsd> RussM, yeah that gave me a list in terminal but when I added > mylist.txt to the end of the command the txt file ended up empty.  I realize that the software is pretty new...but does anyone know if pidgin or the like can take advantage of it?

[05:20] <trentlemon> sorry, thanks
[05:20] <chu_> When setting up this printer, I don't understand what it means by smb://[workgroup/]...
[05:21] <chu_> Does that mean workgroup is optional? And if so, how do I notate it?
[05:21] <allan_> hello people is there anyone who had solved the issue of vn896 chrome9 hc video card driver... this is my problem since decemebr 2007
[05:21] <allan_> thnks
[05:21] <booksbuggy> chu_, well workgroup should be the name of the server i think
[05:22] <chu_> So, workgroup is home, the computer is called mum it would be home.mum ?
[05:23] <booksbuggy> chu_, hmmm better ask others I am still new to this system I only have one year of experience with ubuntu :P
[05:23] <Flannel> !away > iron_man_ftw

[05:25] <allan_> hello all, i tried installing mandriva 2009, openSUSE 11.1 and ubuntu 8.04lts yet i still have no luck having the 2d and 3d acceleration.. only black screen of death
[05:26] <Nytrix> is there a street map program for ubuntu?
[05:26] <boss> hello

[05:28] <Nytrix> boss, hello?
[05:29] <Nytrix> ubuntu810, get vlc
[05:29] <boss> I just installed plug-in for Morse Code on IRC chat
[05:29] <boss> But dont know where or how to find the chat room for morse code
[05:29] <Nytrix> boss, join #xchat
[05:29] <chu_> Ok, so I found the recommended driver on openprinting.org - is there an easy way to install this, or is it just gonna make me want to put my fist through this screen? Because, if the latter, I will just go to my windows computer and print, I thought this would be pretty easy (everything else so far has been...)
[05:29] <boss> thanks friend
[05:30] <boss> have a good day. bye
[05:30] <Nytrix> ubuntu810, ok?

[05:32] <ubuntu810> Nytrix There is no matching application available.
[05:32] <ubuntu810> To broaden your search, choose "All available applications" or "All Open Source applications".
[05:32] <roadrock> Nytrix: I do not know, i saw morse code mentioned and CW came to mind.
[05:32] <Nytrix> magevideogames, have u tried right clicking the sound icon and configure it with different settings?
[05:33] <ubuntu810> there is no VLC in apps>Add/Remove
[05:33] <magevideogames> yes i have and none seem to give me the full range of sound
[05:33] <magevideogames> i've tried toying with config files but that hasn't helped either
[05:34] <huwenfeng> i am using Ubuntu 8.4, and the system is now in english, and i can display Chinese. but the Chinese encode seems to be UTF8, and i need to change that to GBK, anyone knows how to do this?   and , of course, i want to system to remain to be an english environment. how can i do that ?
[05:34] <Nytrix> ubuntu810, on "Show:" select "All available applications"
[05:34] <crdlb> chu_: your main problem is probably locating the printer, not the driver to use
[05:34] <ubuntu810> ok found it
[05:34] <Nytrix> now insyall it
[05:34] <Nytrix> install*

[05:41] <Nytrix> hector__, hi
[05:41] <hector__> I am currently looking for help can anybody please help me?
[05:41] <Nytrix> !help
[05:41] <hechu> Nytrix, Hi.
[05:41] <Nytrix> !ask
[05:42] <hechu> Nytrix, oh, hehe ,,, i c.
[05:42] <hector__> I need to compile something
[05:42] <Nytrix> what?
[05:42] <hector__> How do I compile it if it has no make file?
[05:42] <Flannel> hector__: What are you trying to compile?
[05:42] <gbear142751> Hello... I recently disabled an account on my server with a command -L but I forgot the command... anyone able to give me a mind jog on what it was?  I am now trying to reenable the login
[05:42] <magevideogames> here's my sound card Realtek ALC 660
[05:42] <hector__> bluediving
[05:43] <arisv_> let me ask something, where is this zd_rf.c
[05:43] <arisv_> http://www.nabble.com/tp-link-WN322G-td21524214.html
[05:43] <hechu> Nytrix, nothing, you call me by type 'tab' key. but actually you want say to hector__ ... hehe.
[05:43] <arisv_> in order to patch it, I can't find it in Ubuntu.
[05:43] <haowan> ubuntu need firewall ?
[05:43] <Nytrix> hechu, yeap
[05:43] <hector__> so how can i compile bluediving 0.9?
[05:43] <Flannel> arisv_: It doesn't exist in Ubuntu
[05:44] <Flannel> hector__: You'll have to check the website for it.
[05:44] <hector__> I tried it doesn't say.
[05:44] <chu_> Is there a way to change what workgoup I belong to? like "workgroup home" or whatever?
[05:44] <Iron_Chef> how do i re-disable the root account?  passwd -l root isn't enough
[05:45] <hechu> haowan, ubuntu has a firewall. but you don't need to install/start it.
[05:45] <Nytrix> hector__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[05:45] <arisv_> Flannel, so?
[05:45] <Sw3RvE> so it has a built in firewall?
[05:45] <arisv_> Is it a source or sth?
[05:45] <arisv_> how I can find it?
[05:45] <hector__> Alright let me try that.
[05:45] <haowan> ubuntu need firewall ?
[05:45] <Flannel> arisv_: That's a source file, yes.  It is not in any of the packages in the repositories.  So you'll have to figure out where else to get it.
[05:46] <Flannel> !firewall | haowan
[05:46] <arisv_> ok
[05:46] <huwenfeng>  i am using Ubuntu 8.4, and the system is now in english, and i can display Chinese. but the Chinese encode seems to be UTF8, and i need to change that to GBK, anyone knows how to do this?   and , of course, i want to system to remain to be an english environment. how can i do that ?
[05:46] <Nytrix> !compiling | hector__
[05:47] <Flannel> Iron_Chef: `sudo passwd -l root` will work
[05:47] <Flannel> hector__: The README file that comes with it has installation instructions.
[05:47] <hector__> I am reading on that. Thanks for your help!
[05:48] <Iron_Chef> Flannel, not for my purpose, i needed to delete the entire password string from /etc/shadow, passwd -l just adds a ! in front of it :-)
[05:48] <Iron_Chef> ty anyway :-)_

[06:07] <Nytrix> brad, try reinstalling?
[06:07] <atom^x> shadowwulf, i am not familiar with twinview
[06:07] <Brad450> I HOVE NO CLUE about whats wrong with my system
[06:08] <Brad450> i did reinstall twice already
[06:08] <Brad450> same problem
[06:08] <illumin8> what directions did you use to install
[06:08] <Sw3RvE> does adware and spyware affect linux at all?
[06:08] <shadowwulf> twinview is xservers version of dual screen monitors
[06:08] <illumin8> and to clarify your saying on a playstation 3?
[06:08] <Brad450> yes a PS3
[06:08] <Brad450> iam on it right now
[06:09] <Nytrix> what is wrong with the icons?
[06:09] <Brad450> PLACES on the toolbar is gone and so are all my icons
[06:09] <Sw3RvE> brad ubuntu uses too much resources for the PS3. you want to get Yellowdog 6.1 it uses the ps3's video ram plus the other ram that your using to run ubuntu.
[06:09] <BattleStarJesus> Hello others, I am having trouble with etcinsvk.
[06:09] <atom^x> shadowwulf, got that... just dont know what command to tell you to put after gksudo

[06:10] <Brad450> what am i looking for?
[06:10] <nanotube> BattleStarJesus: that's not an error, that's just a status message
[06:10] <bazhang> BattleStarJesus, this is after installing a package?
[06:10] <illumin8> BattleStarJesus: its saying the new process is being used.
[06:10] <chu_> Ok, Nytrix, as I searched google for a fix, all the responses which "work" are using an IP address that "changed" to cause their problem, I'm using a network name that's not going to change.
[06:10] <BattleStarJesus> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[06:10] <illumin8> BattleStarJesus: not an error
[06:11] <chu_> So, completely irrelevant to me.
[06:11] <bazhang> BattleStarJesus, not a error

[06:21] <pureRadiance> Hey everyone. so I am currently running Fedora 10 besides Windows 7 and want to fully replace Fedora 10 w/ Ubuntu 8.10. When I load the installer disk I choose the manual install because I don't want to install on the whole drive. When it goes to partition manager I am given a few options. I am given a block that is a few MB which is my recovery partiotion for my laptop. I am given a NTFS formatted partition which I belie
[06:21] <homeskill> Flannel thanks, you're the man page
[06:22] <Flannel> pureRadiance: You got cut off at "which I belie"
[06:22] <pureRadiance> which I believe is Windows and then I am given a large block which I am almost positive is Fedora but its formatting is Unknown. When I click next I have to determine what formatting I need. What do I choose? ext2 , ext3, NTFS?
[06:22] <Flannel> pureRadiance: you want ext3
[06:22] <Nytrix> ext3
[06:23] <pureRadiance> Alright. and i am also given the option of where would i like to mount the drive. Do I leave that blank, do I use a forward slash?
[06:23] <upgrdman> roadrock: thanks
[06:23] <Flannel> pureRadiance: / is your main partition (that's the root of your filesystem)
[06:23] <Uplink> what is <Super>Button1 ???
[06:23] <roadrock> upgrdman: welcome
[06:23] <juniecho> Uplink: Windows key
[06:23] <Uplink> juniecho: and the button1?
[06:23] <pureRadiance> alright. sounds good. if it does successful, ill be on IRC in about 20 minutes!
[06:24] <juniecho> Uplink: probably left mouse button, if you're right-handed
[06:24] <Uplink> hmm it seems to lock
[06:25] <Brad450> is theyre a command that can reset my desktop??
[06:25] <Uplink> i press Super+Right mouse button and my hole PC locks
[06:25] <Sw3RvE> what is super?
[06:26] <juniecho> Uplink: what are you trying to do?
[06:26] <cooldduuudde> Sw3RvE super means windows key
[06:26] <Uplink> juniecho: zoom in and out
[06:26] <roadrock> Uplink: probably compiz, avoid windows keys.
[06:26] <Uplink> roadrock: yea on compiz says "Zoom In [<super>Button1]
[06:26] <Uplink> "
[06:27] <juniecho> Uplink, did that super-btn1 work?
[06:27] <roadrock> Uplink: you can change the key-binding
[06:27] <gaintsura> I'm having problems getting the adobeairinstaller.bin to run.. how do I run it
[06:27] <juniecho> Uplink: did super-button1 zoom in the screen?
[06:27] <Uplink> juniecho: nope...
[06:28] <Uplink> whats Button5?
[06:28] <Brad450> how can i reset GNOME????????
[06:28] <roadrock> gaintsura: chmod +x filename.bin then ./filename.bin
[06:28] <gaintsura> thanks
[06:28] <juniecho> Brad450 try ctrl-alt-backspace
[06:28] <Brad450> does that restart the system??
[06:28] <Rabbitbunny> no
[06:29] <Rabbitbunny> it restarts x.
[06:29] <juniecho> Uplink could you try some other combinations... that's odd, i don't use zoom in-out but it should work...
[06:29] <Uplink> juniecho: whats button5?
[06:29] <roadrock> Uplink: that key combo may have a conflict, maybe
[06:29] <Uplink> roadrock: prob... any better way to zoom?
[06:29] <juniecho> Uplink if you're using a mouse with Back/Forward button those are button4/5
[06:30] <Uplink> juniecho: and button 3?
[06:30] <Rabbitbunny> scroll click.
[06:30] <Uplink> juniecho: ok its working now... i changed the bindings
[06:30] <juniecho> Uplink scroll wheel click
[06:30] <juniecho> Uplink that's good congratulations
[06:30] <roadrock> Uplink: i don't use compiz, use setting to detup a safer key-binding
[06:30] <roadrock> Uplink: setup
[06:31] <Uplink> alright ty for the help juniecho and roadrock... i changed the bindings :]
[06:33] <juniecho> Hey can anyone give me an answer to this... NTFS problem? I installed Ubuntu via WUBI, so my host partition is automatically mounted on /host. The problem is, I can copy files to that partition, but some programs, like EasyTAG, are not able to write to that NTFS partition. Anyone help?
[06:34] <magevideogames> install ntfs-4g if you haven't already
[06:35] <magevideogames> ntfs-3g*
[06:35] <juniecho> magevideogames I already have ntfs-3g, i think it comes with ubuntu 8.10... does it not?
[06:35] <magevideogames> and ntfs-config
[06:36] <magevideogames> then open ntfs configuration tool from system tools and then check the drive you want read write access and click ok
[06:36] <juniecho> oh thanks i'll try... i'm now installing that ntfs-config
[06:37] <juniecho> magevideogames my ntfs partition is not listed... is it okay?
[06:38] <juniecho> maybe because it is already mounted...
[06:38] <magevideogames> hmm alright if its the drive you are using yes its mounted
[06:38] <magevideogames> try this
[06:38] <juniecho> magevideogames, write support for internal devices is already enabled
[06:39] <magevideogames> in a terminal type "gksu gedit /etx/fstab"
[06:39] <magevideogames> and tell me what it says
[06:40] <roadrock>  /etc/fstab
[06:40] <magevideogames> lol yeah
[06:40] <magevideogames> sorry making typos like crazy right now>.<
[06:40] <Brad450> anyone know how to bring back the PLACES section in xubuntu??
[06:40] <magevideogames> "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" is what i meant
[06:40] <juniecho> i already looked into that fstab and ... this is somewhat strange.
[06:40] <magevideogames> seriousely need to stop multitasking
[06:40] <magevideogames> i fail at it lol
[06:41] <roadrock> juniecho: wubi is evil.
[06:41] <magevideogames> what does the fstab file say next to UUID?
[06:41] <juniecho> well, i have two partitions on my hard drive, VISTA(C:), and DATA(D:)
[06:41] <juniecho> magevideogames, there is no UUID
[06:42] <juniecho> currently i want to deal with 'DATA', but there is no entry for DATA in fstab, but it's mounted! how can this be?
[06:42] <magevideogames> what about next to /dev then?
[06:42] <magevideogames> it's probably not mounted by its label
[06:42] <magevideogames> for whatever reason
[06:43] <magevideogames> for me it mounted my drives my label
[06:43] <magevideogames> dunno why its not for you
[06:43] <juniecho> well, no, it has /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, /host/ubuntu/disks/boot, /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk, and /dev/sda1.
[06:43] <cooldduuudde> guys is wubi installation quite reliable?
[06:43] <magevideogames> hmm i'm guessing it's not treating the partition correctly then
[06:43] <juniecho> and dev/sda1 is that VISTA partition (wubi is installed in DATA partition, with all my music, video files in it)
[06:43] <joljam> my mouse click is not working when I do a remote session to a windows comp from my ubuntu intrepid
[06:43] <magevideogames> and that i don't have much experience with unfortunately
[06:44] <juniecho> hmm... this is really strange, should i re-mount this partition?
[06:44] <Rabbitbunny> cooldduuudde: Yes.
[06:44] <juniecho> like add a line like /dev/sda2....
[06:44] <magevideogames> no no
[06:44] <magevideogames> you need to know the info about the partition
[06:44] <juniecho> magevideogames you mean uuid?
[06:45] <magevideogames> in a terminal type "sudo fdisk -l"
[06:45] <magevideogames> and tell me what it says
[06:47] <juniecho> well... looks like i've got to install pastebinit
[06:47] <magevideogames> either that or just pm me and send it to me that way:P
[06:47] <magevideogames> i don't mind a flood of text in pms lol
[06:47] <juniecho> http://pastebin.com/f34cd62e7
[06:48] <magevideogames> unless its like over 10 lines
[06:48] <juniecho> 9 lines :) yeah
[06:48] <roadrock> juniecho: sudo fdisk -l > textfile.txt then open file, select all and copy
[06:48] <magevideogames> ok in the fstab did it have both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 listed?
[06:49] <juniecho> magevideogames, yes it has both partitions
[06:49] <magevideogames> hmm pastebin it to me then maybe i can understand better that way
[06:49] <juniecho> http://pastebin.com/f34cd62e7
[06:49] <juniecho> it's here
[06:49] <magevideogames> see if maybe i can see what needs to be added/changed
[06:49] <to3000> when is the next ubuntu coming out
[06:50] <juniecho> to3000 october i think
[06:50] <magevideogames> i meant pastebin the fstab
[06:50] <to3000> isent it april
[06:51] <to3000> 23ed
[06:51] <Sw3RvE> is xubuntu going to be released at the same time or later than ubuntu
[06:51] <to3000> i duno

[06:52] <Guest68487> hello, i'm having trouble changing ownership(from root to xun) in a NTFS partition. can someone help?
[06:53] <juniecho> magevideogames: hmm? is it something wrong?
[06:53] <Nytrix> how do i find out where a program is installed?
[06:54] <to3000> by
[06:55] <Nytrix> how do i find out where a program is installed?
[06:55] <cooldduuudde> are there any good games avlbl for linux?
[06:55] <magevideogames> what does it say next to /dev/sda2 when you type "blkid" in a terminal?
[06:55] <magevideogames> i see that its not mounting the partition
[06:55] <Nytrix> cooldduuudde, Nexuiz
[06:55] <magevideogames> so i need to know the output of the command i just said
[06:55] <cooldduuudde> Nytrix usr/bin
[06:55] <juniecho> blikd? it produces nothing
[06:56] <Nytrix> cooldduuudde, try Nexuiz
[06:56] <cooldduuudde> bytrix ok i mean /usr/bin
[06:56] <juniecho> oh sorry i forgot sudo...
[06:56] <ahofha> how do you background a process via a key?  Control+Z stops it
[06:56] <juniecho> it says.................... /dev/sda2: UUID="7416028B2887992F" LABEL="DATA" TYPE="ntfs"
[06:58] <magevideogames> k add this to the fstab at the bottom "UUID=7416028B2887992 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ko_KR.UTF-8 0 0"
[06:58] <magevideogames> then restart and see if its working for you
[06:58] <juniecho> without quotes?
[06:58] <magevideogames> yeah
[06:59] <magevideogames> without the quotes
[06:59] <Guest68487> hello, i'm having trouble changing ownership(from root to xun) in a NTFS partition. can someone help?
[06:59] <juniecho> one more thing: where should i place 'force'?
[06:59] <magevideogames> what do you mean?
[07:00] <juniecho> force mount option when that ntfs is flagged dirty
[07:00] <magevideogames> guest i think you have to do chmod for that
[07:00] <magevideogames> oh
[07:00] <magevideogames> to fix that
[07:00] <magevideogames> install ntfs-progs
[07:00] <magevideogames> and run ntfsfix on /dev/sda2
[07:00] <juniecho> long time ago i just added 'force' to that fstab and just fixed the problem
[07:00] <magevideogames> that will check it and fix problems
[07:00] <magevideogames> then it will be allowed to mount
[07:00] <lukehasnoname> How the HELL do I fix rhythmbox's most annoying flaw? That being that it removes songs from its play queue as they are played, instead of leaving them there?
[07:00] <magevideogames> its bad to mount dirty filesystems
[07:01] <magevideogames> can cause major problems
[07:01] <juniecho> oh is it bad?
[07:01] <juniecho> all right... ntfs-progs?
[07:01] <magevideogames> yeah
[07:02] <juniecho> shouldn't i add mount point to that fstab?
[07:02] <cooldduuudde> guys sometimes partitions are not mounted wen you shut down windows in improper manner
[07:02] <juniecho> is it okay without mount point?
[07:02] <magevideogames> no i figured you'd put whatever mount point you wanted it does need a mount point so a full example would be
[07:03] <magevideogames> "UUID=7416028B2887992 /media/mydata ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ko_KR.UTF-8 0 0
[07:03] <bitsbam> sound on intrepid has me frustrated as all getout. I installed on three computers in the house, only one that doesn't have a sound problem is the laptop.
[07:03] <juniecho> like /media/DATA
[07:03] <juniecho> oh yeah...
[07:03] <bitsbam> is there and easy way to disable onboard sound if you have a sound card?
[07:03] <spaceBARbarian> whats a good GUI based ssh program for ubuntu ?
[07:03] <magevideogames> sound i don't know as i can't get 5.1 sound out of my system lol
[07:04] <magevideogames> don't deal with ssh really so i wouldn't know sorry
[07:04] <juniecho> oh
[07:04] <juniecho> .............to think of that i don't need to force mount :(
[07:04] <cooldduuudde> sound in ubuntu is real bad.... i get choppy sound at high volumes. lol
[07:04] <juniecho> because if that ntfs is dirty ubuntu will fail to start :(
[07:05] <magevideogames> it won't fail to start
[07:05] <magevideogames> just won't load the partition
[07:05] <magevideogames> oh wait
[07:05] <magevideogames> i see what you mean
[07:05] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, i have sound problems in ubuntu as well
[07:05] <magevideogames> well if the boot partition is messed up
[07:05] <land> am i in?
[07:05] <magevideogames> you have to tell it to check the filesystem before boot
[07:05] <juniecho> yeah :) because ubuntu will start on that ntfs partition...
[07:05] <roadrock> bitsbam: yeah, change device double clicking volume control choose preferences, choose souncard. you should get and run asoundconf and set default soundcard also.
[07:05] <LogicFan> 8.10 64bit with intel audio on my laptop (dell xps m1330).  especially with rhythmbox...
[07:06] <cooldduuudde> yeah.... i even tried installing GNome ALSA mixer but to no avail logicfan
[07:06] <land> where am i?
[07:06] <magevideogames> which is done through something like touch /etc/fschk or something like that i found it online
[07:06] <magevideogames> only the boot partition matters though
[07:06] <cooldduuudde> land in an irc channel
[07:06] <magevideogames> if the spare one is messed up it just won't load it
[07:06] <magevideogames> cause it's not needed to boot
[07:06] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, my sound works about 98% of the time though
[07:06] <land> lol, i'm in
[07:06] <LogicFan> but, i dont how to pinpoint the problems when they happen
[07:06] <land> guys i need some help
[07:06] <juniecho> well... magevideogames, it doesn't work, wubi makes use of a virtual disk file on ntfs drive, so... if the partition is dirty, then it can't load the root partition :)
[07:07] <cooldduuudde> logicfan, yeah also the front headphone jack doesn't work
[07:07] <bitsbam> roadrock: ok, top two entries were the two sound devices, then a long list of each one in alsa, etc... now do asoundconf?
[07:07] <bitsbam> roadrock: i mean after choosing
[07:07] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, only one of my front headphone jacks works :)
[07:07] <magevideogames> what you need to do is tell the system to check the filsystem on bootup
[07:07] <roadrock> bitsbam: asoundconf-gtk package
[07:07] <nellmathew1> this isn't really an ubuntu question but i've been looking around and i can't get a definite answer to this.. i have an ide ultra ata100 hard drive on my laptop, i'm having a hard time finding a replacement for it.. is it the same as PATA? does anyone know?
[07:07] <juniecho> hmm is it possible?
[07:07] <magevideogames> before starting the load sequence to start up ubuntu
[07:07] <magevideogames> let me get the command you need to run
[07:07] <LogicFan> nellmathew1, yes, its the same
[07:08] <nellmathew1> thanks a lot.. had a feeling
[07:08] <cooldduuudde> laughing out loud.....logicfan mic jack works headphone doesn't
[07:08] <magevideogames> "sudotouch /forcefsck"
[07:08] <bitsbam> roadrock: thanks, apting now
[07:08] <magevideogames> "sudo touch /forcefsck"*
[07:08] <magevideogames> then restart and it will check and fix the filesystem
[07:08] <LogicFan> nellmathew1, pata = parallel ATA.  ultra ata100 is the same interface.  the ata100 is the transfer speed of the interface
[07:08] <bitsbam> welcome back, quibbler
[07:08] <magevideogames> if it can
[07:08] <magevideogames> and will be able to boot
[07:08] <magevideogames> and mount it
[07:08] <FloodBot1> magevideogames: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:09] <quibbler> bitsbam: goog morning
[07:09] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, i have jacksensing drivers for my chip on windows, so i can dynamically reconfigure the ports, but not in ubuntu :(
[07:09] <juniecho> so magevideogames, where should i do that?
[07:09] <Datz> Hi, I want to disable the option where when the mouse is hovered over a mp3 file, it plays.
[07:09] <bitsbam> roadrock: selected the sound card, what now?
[07:09] <land> i'm having a hard time activating proprietary driver for my graphics; i'm on mint
[07:09] <quibbler> *good...that's how early it is
[07:09] <magevideogames> if you can't boot up ubuntu then you could easily schedule a check disk in windows
[07:09] <bitsbam> roadrock: that's it?
[07:09] <magevideogames> otherwise use a live cd
[07:10] <cooldduuudde> logicfan yeah i have dat thing too. the realtek software but its as if realtek guys don't know that linux exists...lol
[07:10] <juniecho> magevideogames, can i run that command on initramfs?
[07:10] <LogicFan> sound is my only major problem in 8.10 :(  otherwise, it works great on my laptop
[07:10] <histo> !sound | LogicFan
[07:10] <LogicFan> wait, i have a memory card reader problem too ;D
[07:10] <gbear14275> looking to enable my ubuntu machine to receive log files from my linksys router running tomato firmware.... not sure where to start.  It has a CIFS function, can I use this?
[07:10] <cooldduuudde> hmmm....logicfan if you observe closely there's also a problem in video
[07:10] <roadrock> bitsbam: go into system - preferences - sound and set the device there too, you probably need to play with it
[07:11] <bitsbam> roadrock: ok, thanks
[07:11] <LogicFan> cooldduuudde, do you also have a xps m1330?
[07:11] <cooldduuudde> logicfan no i have hpm7360in desktop
[07:11] <roadrock> bitsbam: choose alsa by the way
[07:11] <bitsbam> ok
[07:11] <LogicFan> histo, i have looked at most of those, but i will investigate more thoroughly, thanks
[07:12] <gbear14275> anyone done any sysloging stuff?
[07:12] <cooldduuudde> logicfan ok nice talkin 2 you....:)
[07:12] <juniecho> well anyway i'll first restart :) wish me luck
[07:12] <magevideogames> good luck:)
[07:12] <pureRadiance> Okay so I've got Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows 7 dual booting. But the grub loader looks like crap, all text based and no nice GUI. Any way to fix this or am I stuck with an icky looking loader?
[07:13] <pureRadiance> Take in mind I was using Plymouth with Fedora so anything will be a step down until the next release
[07:13] <Omlette> Nothing wrong with text.
[07:13] <LogicFan> histo, i have alsa mixer selected (HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer))
[07:13] <bitsbam> roadrock: sounds great, watching a thing on miro right now. thanks for your help
[07:14] <pureRadiance> Omlette: true, however, i wouldnt mind a little eye-candy every now and then.
[07:14] <Cody_> Does anyone have a solution as to why everytime i open FireFox the Panel on the top and Panel on the bottom dissapears? I have to hit F11 twice to get them back.
[07:14] <Omlette> pureRadiance: I agree. However, I don't think you'll get much eye candy from the GRUB. :)
[07:14] <pureRadiance> Cody_: turn off Auto-hide?
[07:14] <Cody_> Wheres that at?
[07:15] <Cody_> I never turned it on sorry.
[07:15] <pureRadiance> Right Click Panel > Properties > Auto Hide
[07:15] <cooldduuudde> okay
[07:15] <roadrock> bitsbam: glad it worked, good job, youre welcome
[07:15] <Cody_> pureRadiance:  Its not ticked.
[07:15] <Datz> Where are the File Management options?
[07:15] <LogicFan> Cody_,  if its not auto-hide, you need to delete your localstore.rdf file (while FF is closed)
[07:16] <LogicFan> then restart FF and it'll recreate it
[07:16] <roadrock> Omlette: you can make grub use color, its a comment in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:16] <LogicFan> Cody_, its available in ~/.mozilla/firefox
[07:16] <Cody_> Wheres that stored at?
[07:16] <amruthraj> Hi, I am unable to use gdb and strace at the same time. From the strace output, i see a big chunk of memory mmap'ed. But then I am not able to figure out where in the code this is happening:( Can someone help me out?
[07:16] <pureRadiance> roadroc: can I use an image in the grub and if so what type?
[07:16] <Cody_> LogicFan:  Im sorry but im new to ubuntu and do not know how to find that folder.
[07:17] <mj8741> land what's it doing?
[07:17] <LogicFan> Cody_, sorry, i should have been more specific.  first, go to your home folder
[07:17] <LogicFan> places>home folder
[07:17] <Cody_> Yea, not your fault. Im sorry.
[07:17] <Cody_> There.
[07:17] <exon> does anyone know if remote desktop is possible between 2 difrent networks and how to do it?
[07:17] <LogicFan> and now you need to turn on hidden files/folders
[07:18] <LogicFan> Cody_, Edit>Preferences
[07:18] <LogicFan> check "show hidden and backup files"
[07:18] <LogicFan> then hit close
[07:18] <Cody_> Okay sir.
[07:18] <LogicFan> now you'll see a bunch of folders that start with .
[07:18] <LogicFan> scroll down to mozilla
[07:19] <LogicFan> then firefox
[07:19] <Datz> thanks for the help guys
[07:19] <Cody_> Yes sir.
[07:19] <LogicFan> then you need to go into your profile folder
[07:19] <LogicFan> something like ahad872.default
[07:19] <Cody_> 20zxeyaj.default
[07:19] <LogicFan> right
[07:19] <Cody_> Okay.
[07:19] <LogicFan> then scroll down and find localstore.rdf file
[07:19] <land> mj8741: i'm on Mint; i'm havin' a hard time activating proprietary driver for my ATI graphics
[07:19] <LogicFan> make sure firefox is completely closed first
[07:20] <LogicFan> once firefox is closed, delete the file, then restart firefox and see if the toolbars are active like normal
[07:20] <magevideogames> anyone here have experience getting sound cards to work correctly? if so pm me>.<
[07:20] <LogicFan> the localstore.rdf will be recreated cleanly upon starting up FF
[07:21] <mj8741> land does it give an option to activate? if so make sure you have 3rd party repositories checked
[07:21] <Cody_> Do i have to close it in another way than just hitting the X ?
[07:21] <LogicFan> no
[07:21] <LogicFan> hitting X is ok
[07:21] <LogicFan> or file>quit
[07:21] <Cody_> Okay deleting.
[07:22] <land> mj8741, i can't find any drivers
[07:22] <Cody_> And the restart is opening it up again correct?
[07:22] <LogicFan> yep
[07:22] <Cody_> You're the man ;)
[07:22] <LogicFan> let me know if firefox opens properly
[07:22] <Cody_> Thank you sir.
[07:22] <LogicFan> Cody_, good to go?
[07:22] <mj8741> did you do a search on deb packages
[07:22] <Cody_> Yes sir. Thank you.
[07:23] <mj8741> or go to there website
[07:23] <Sarthor> Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help???
[07:23] <LogicFan> Cody_, for some reason that file gets corrupted on Firefox 3.0.6, so if that happens again (or your toolbar positions aren't being remembered), repeat that same process
[07:23] <Cody_> Okay. Thank you. Have a good day.
[07:23] <LogicFan> also, the official firefox channel is #firefox on irc.mozilla.org
[07:23] <LogicFan> you're welcome, g'day!
[07:24] <Cody_> :)
[07:28] <Sarthor> Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help???
[07:28] <exon> does anyone know how the remote desktop works ...i possible need to open some ports in router???
[07:29] <mj8741> exon you do have to open ports but I don't know which ones they are, sorry
[07:30] <LogicFan> exon, generally, the ports selected are configured in the software
[07:30] <saurabh> hello guys
[07:30] <LogicFan> although some packages have well-known default ports
[07:30] <saurabh> I am new over here
[07:30] <Nytrix> port 5900
[07:30] <magevideogames> hello saurabh
[07:30] <LogicFan> saurabh, me too :)
[07:30] <Nytrix> histo, sau
[07:31] <Nytrix> sauvin, hi
[07:31] <histo> ?
[07:31] <saurabh> where are u from LogicFan :)
[07:31] <Nytrix> saurabh, hi
[07:31] <Nytrix> hehe
[07:31] <sauvin> erm?
[07:31] <saurabh> Hi Nytrix
[07:31] <Nytrix> histo, nevermind...typo
[07:31] <saurabh> Nytrix, where r u from??
[07:31] <Nytrix> L.A
[07:31] <saurabh> me from India
[07:32] <bitsbam> roadrock: err, still having some trouble
[07:33] <bitsbam> miro plays sound, but so far, nothing else does
[07:33] <bitsbam> if that matters
[07:35] <roadrock> bitsbam: running intrepid?
[07:35] <bitsbam> yes
[07:37] <roadrock> bitsbam: install alsamixer set everything. check system -prefs -sound play with settings. pulseaudio is a pain.
[07:37] <bitsbam> roadrock: should i remove pulseaudio?
[07:37] <Sarthor> Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help???
[07:38] <KazaLite> which irc client is most widely used on ubuntu?
[07:38] <roadrock> bitsbam: i purged pulse and installed esound.
[07:38] <crism> Anyone got experience with disk damage? My / partition got dinged when my laptop fell. I ran fsck from a boot DVD, and reinstalled, but I am still having errors on dmesg and when trying to update from Synaptic.
[07:38] <crism> KazaLite: I like pidgin.
[07:38] <roadrock> bitsbam: with onboard sound and a soundcard you've got to experiment
[07:39] <roadrock> bitsbam: i'm on hardy at the moment.
[07:39] <Sw3RvE> i like xchat for irc.
[07:39] <bitsbam> ok
[07:39] <bitsbam> thanks
[07:39]  * sauvin uses kopete for the ims but xchat for irc
[07:39] <simplexio> crism: you probably have some badblocks
[07:39] <dtchen> bitsbam: if you're using multiple cards, install pavucontrol, then migrate the stream(s) to the intended audio device
[07:39] <Sw3RvE> pidgin is a good messenger client.
[07:40] <crism> simplexio: I definitely do. I was hoping that fsck would mark them as bad and that the reinstall would work around them.
[07:40] <roadrock> dtchen: good advice, bitsbam try that
[07:40] <quibbler> !irc client
[07:40] <quibbler> !irc
[07:40] <bitsbam> roadrock, dtchen looks like i have it already, ok
[07:40] <palomer> help! everything on my screen is a tad too small, giving me a headache
[07:40] <bitsbam> will try
[07:40] <palomer> how do I fix it?
[07:41] <simplexio> crism: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html#rfile  ,, command is badblocks i think. newer used
[07:41] <simplexio> crism: im not sure does fschk fix those
[07:42] <crism> simplexio: tx very much
[07:42] <Nytrix> palomer, is it your screen resolution?
[07:43] <Nytrix> system>preferences>screen resolution
[07:44] <crism> palomer: which distro are you using? I had problems with Feisty on a cinema display that went away by themselves with Intrepid.
[07:44] <crism> (Though my text was too large rather than too small.)
[07:44] <bitsbam> these dialogs for sound are locking up.
[07:44] <error404notfound> when I run date, it shows correct date but with CET, I want it to be PKT, how to do that?
[07:46] <bitsbam> ok, in my install, i got pulse-audio device control, pulse audio device control, this pavucontrol thing, etc.. lots of packages to get sound going, am i kind of an exceptino here?
[07:46] <bitsbam> oh, and, of course the gnome volume control
[07:47] <dtchen> bitsbam: the clutter is known; yes, it's confusing as heck for everyone
[07:47] <dtchen> bitsbam: hopefully, it will be sorted and stable for 9.10
[07:48] <bitsbam> dtchen: yeah, it's cool
[07:48] <bitsbam> dtchen: would it be advisable to ditch pulse and just run alsa?
[07:49] <Shaun> could anyone here help fix a problem i have with my system not starting up with my second sata drive attached.  if i connect it after booting up i can mount and use it fine...fsck throws up no errors
[07:49] <dtchen> bitsbam: that's really your prerogative. we're working hard to get these issues resolved.
[07:49] <bitsbam> dtchen: are you part of ubuntu development?
[07:51] <roadrock> Shaun: have you insured the system bios sees the second drive?
[07:51] <dtchen> bitsbam: yes
[07:51] <Shaun> bios sees it fine
[07:51] <ahofha> iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 --destination <IP_ADDRESS> -j REDIRECT --to-port 4602 ... then iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4602 -j ACCEPT , then did iptables-save / /etc/init.d/iptables save I have an alias in my /etc/hosts for <IP_ADDRESS> data.localhost the problem is, when I go to data.localhost, it's not honoring the portforwarding rule, it's still going to port 80
[07:51] <roadrock> Shaun: hrm
[07:51] <ahofha> any clue anyone ?
[07:51] <Shaun> it was working fine with an older kernel, after a delay, but since installing bootchart it wont with either
[07:51] <bitsbam> dtchen: well  thanks, it's an honor.  What linux Cant do that Windows Can do, One of them is Handling double isp / uplinks, Windows can handle but now linux   http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routing-for-multiple-uplinks-providers-703789/
[07:52] <bitsbam> really, to all of you developers
[07:52] <Shaun> after the system detects my card readers it then hangs for several minutes before spamming my screen with lines referencing sdb (the second sata)
[07:53] <Shaun> like this: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0/block/sdb (10536)
[07:53] <Shaun> loads of those, with differing end numbers
[07:53] <roadrock> Shaun: check your /etc/fstab  wubi install?
[07:54] <dtchen> bitsbam: the "honor" is really everyone's.
[07:54] <Shaun> /dev/Storage/Files  /mnt/store  ext4  defaults  0  0
[07:55] <roadrock> Shaun: read your dmesg in a terminal, see why its confused
[07:55] <Shaun> how can i get to a terminal at that point?
[07:56] <ahofha> iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 --destination <IP_ADDRESS> -j REDIRECT --to-port 4602 ... then iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4602 -j ACCEPT , then did iptables-save / /etc/init.d/iptables save I have an alias in my /etc/hosts for <IP_ADDRESS> data.localhost the problem is, when I go to data.localhost, it's not honoring the portforwarding rule, it's still going to port 80
[07:56] <O__o> hi, how to play realplayer files?
[07:56] <ahofha> anyone?
[07:56] <roadrock> Shaun: terminal is in your apps menu somwhere
[07:56] <roadrock> O__o: install realplayer
[07:57] <O__o> realplayer has spyware in windows, and i dont trust realplayer
[07:57] <Shaun> will it still be in dmesg, as i'd have to attach the drive, wait for it to hang, detach, boot again, and then dmesg...
[07:57] <roadrock> O__o: windows realplayer is evil, its fine uder 'nix
[07:57] <O__o> i get mplayer working in my desktop here and i forgot how i installed that so i can play rm
[07:58] <O__o> is it w32codecs?
[07:58] <shausam27> trying to download on amule but it tells me i have a low id and firewalled with buddy buy i can not fine any firewall called on my system help
[07:58] <roadrock> O__o: dont think so.
[07:58] <crism> simplexio: badblocks is also called via fsck -c.
[07:58] <Shaun> when it was working on the old kernel previously, dmesg showed nothing out of the ordinary...and i cant see anything in any logs referencing the above messages i see spamming the screen during bootup
[07:58] <crism> But I hadn’t actually run that yet…
[07:58] <O__o> i have mplayer plays rm fine in desktop and i want to do the same with my kaptop
[07:58] <O__o> laptop

[07:59] <ahofha> anyone?
[08:00] <O__o> roadrock, is realplayer uninstallable in linux?
[08:00] <O__o> because realplayer is hard to uninstalled in windows
[08:00] <Scuanor> funnyly, after i installed my videodrivers for nvidia, the resolution droppped from 800 x 600. now im stuck with 640 x 480
[08:00] <O__o> roadrock, dont wanna screw up and reinstall everything
[08:00] <Scuanor> and i can tell you, thats BIG on a 21" CRT ;o9
[08:01] <credo> Scuanor: cant you set resolution via $nvidia-settings?
[08:01] <crism> Looks like badblocks is going to take a long time… Good night everybody!

[08:01] <KazaLite> anyone having experience of using gadu-gadu?
[08:02] <grndslm> Does jockey handle Atheros firmware?
[08:02] <roadrock> O__o: install it in /opt  real easy
[08:02] <credo> open up console (terminal) and type that
[08:02] <Scuanor> grndslm, scream louder...
[08:02] <Shaun> roadrock: just plugged in the drive now, and get this in dmesg http://www.pastebin.ca/1345644
[08:02] <Scuanor> credo: okies
[08:02] <roadrock> O__o: d/l it from real.com
[08:02] <grndslm> Scuanor:  sometimes it's necessary
[08:02] <grndslm> ya gotta get it out
[08:02] <credo> you may need to add sudo before that, maybe. maybe not
[08:02] <^paradox^> my dell inspiron 531s is a rent a center computer and didnt come with much paperwork. im new to dvd burning. how can i tell if the dvd burner will burn dvd -r +r and what's the differenc between -r and +r?
[08:02] <O__o> dont trust real.com
[08:02] <Scuanor> credo °nods°
[08:03] <O__o> i want to play it in mplayer
[08:04] <credo> ^paradox^: there isnt really user difference between +r and -r. i have checked by burns and it resulted that my burner liked +r more
[08:04] <shausam27> trying to download on amule but it tells me i have a low id and firewalled with buddy buy i can not fine any firewall called buddy on my system help
[08:04] <credo> ^paradox^: cant tell until you test your burns. but there shouldnt be difference.
[08:04] <crdlb> grndslm: there's no firmware needed for atheros, but jockey does handle the driver
[08:04] <^paradox^> credo: what do you mean it liked +r better?
[08:05] <grndslm> crdlb: so atheros does need some restricted software to work properly?
[08:05] <crdlb> grndslm: not necessarily
[08:05] <credo> ^paradox^: there is soft cdspeed2000.com (windows) that can test your burns
[08:06] <Shaun> any ideas? anyone
[08:06] <roadrock> O__o: http://uk.real.com/player/select/  get linux bin file, chmod +x it then ./realplayergold.bin and follow prompts install in /opt/  piece of cake
[08:06] <credo> ^paradox^: by burns were better with +r. but i believe its buggy burner. there shouldnt be any difference
[08:06] <crdlb> grndslm: there are two drivers available, madwifi (ath_pci), and ath5k; the former has a binary-only HAL (ath_hal)
[08:06] <^paradox^> ah ok
[08:07] <grndslm> crdlb:  reason i'm asking is because i'm trying to use remastersys to create a LiveDVD that has effective tools for various desktops/laptops... things like ntfs-3g, ntfs-config, b43-fwcutter & firmware, etc.

[08:07] <Scuanor> credo: i can acess that program, but cant set a different CRT in the settings there. i DO know, that that CRT can handle 1280x1024. maybe if i edit that configfile directrly?
[08:07] <^paradox^> correct me if wrong ok
[08:07] <crdlb> grndslm: on intrepid, you can install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, and a new choice will become available in jockey for the fully open source driver (which happens to support more hardware)
[08:07] <grndslm> crdlb:  i'm definitely looking for all restricted networking stuff for sure... and unfortunately, i can't use intrepid as it's too buggy with intel graphics
[08:07] <grndslm> among other things
[08:08] <^paradox^> but a dvd can also be used for audio and data, like a much larger version of cd?
[08:08] <crdlb> hardy only has madwifi afaik
[08:08] <credo> Scuanor: try nvidia-xconfig and restart Xorg
[08:08] <shausam27> i need to know if any one uses amule and if they ban tell me to get out of low id
[08:08] <yaroman> what do I do ifI forgot my user password to this chat server?
[08:08] <Scuanor> credo: will do
[08:08] <credo> Scuanor: precede it with sudo
[08:08] <grndslm> crdlb:  why would you install intrepid backports to intrepid?
[08:09] <roadrock> yaroman: freenode will email it to you.
[08:09] <credo> Scuanor: if not you will have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file manually
[08:09] <yaroman> roadrock1: And how do I ask for it?
[08:09] <crdlb> grndslm: it's backports for intrepid, not from intrepid
[08:09] <roadrock> yaroman: the website
[08:09] <crdlb> grndslm: it's in intrepid's release notes if you want to double-check :)
[08:10] <grndslm> ahh... i've never enabled backports actually, as i'm far too cautious.
[08:10] <roadrock> yaroman: http://freenode.net/
[08:10] <saadi559595> can't use my scanner "benq 4300U" with xsane or kooka...how to configure my scanner with sane ...i have windows drivers with me..
[08:10] <^paradox^> i mean cause 4 gigs would certainly help clear some space from my computer
[08:10] <grndslm> crdlb:  ya mind explaining this: "there are two drivers available, madwifi (ath_pci), and ath5k; the former has a binary-only HAL (ath_hal)"
[08:10] <O__o> roadrock, dont want realplayer
[08:10] <crdlb> grndslm: it's not the same thing as intrepid-backports; it's even included on the CD
[08:10] <grndslm> weird
[08:10] <Scuanor> credo: i preceded it with sudo, making the command look as "sudo nvidia-xconfig" but ntohing happens, no feedback whatsoever
[08:10] <roadrock> O__o: ok
[08:11] <grndslm> crdlb:what is ath5k?
[08:11] <credo> Scuanor: yes. you must restart X. i believe it writes the settings it recognizes
[08:11] <O__o> roadrock, how do i add the extra package source?
[08:11] <streenz> grndslm, ath5k are linux wifi drivers
[08:11] <crdlb> grndslm: madwifi is the old driver, which has a closed-source Hardware Access Layer (Atheros claimed this is because the device can exceed FCC restrictions, which would make it illegal in the US)
[08:11] <O__o> is it mediubuntu something like that?
[08:12] <Scuanor> credo: im not sure i understand, i must restart ubuntu before giving the sudo xconfig command?
[08:12] <crdlb> grndslm: ath5k is a driver which uses the linux wifi stack like other drivers and has a reverse-engineered replacement for what the HAL does
[08:12] <crdlb> so it can be included in the kernel now
[08:12] <roadrock> O__o: but you dont want it
[08:12] <credo> Scuanor: you must exit the windowed mode and start it anew before it takes effect
[08:12] <Scuanor> credo: okay.
[08:13] <grndslm> crdlb: interesting... doesn't work with 2.6.24?
[08:13] <credo> Scuanor: no need to restart...
[08:13] <grndslm> crdlb: is recompiling possible? it almost seems like that might be worth it for what I'm trying to do
[08:13] <crdlb> grndslm: probably not, madwifi is probably the only real choice for hardy
[08:13] <Scuanor> credo CTRL+ALT+DEL worked :o)
[08:13] <hotleg> tsup
[08:13] <Scuanor> credo: sorry, i meant not del but backspace
[08:13] <credo> Scuanor: examine your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:14] <hotleg> wait
[08:14] <hotleg> whats going on here?
[08:14]  * Scuanor pulls hotleg ;oP
[08:14] <credo> Scuanor: yes but i believe ubuntu has graphic login manager running still... not sure if you must exit that TOO or not
[08:14] <Scuanor> args

[08:18] <Stueh> rww: thankyou
[08:19] <Shaun> roadrock: i have splash and quiet disabled so i can see the kernel output during startup...running dmesg after booting up sucessfully with the second hdd attached only allows me to view output from the current boot
[08:19] <Shaun> second hdd detatched*
[08:20] <Lokin> How do I add programs to the startup menu via terminal?
[08:22] <Lokin> ?
[08:23] <lusepuster_> Lokin, what is a startup menu?
[08:24] <Lokin> It is the user applications the OS loads from grub
[08:24] <lusepuster_> Ah, ok. Sorry, blank  on that one
[08:26] <Lokin> lusepuster_: wanna help me test something
[08:26] <roadrock> Shaun: attach it then sudo fdisk -l  note the drive and edit /etc/fstab
[08:26] <roadrock> Shaun: you have something weird happening
[08:26] <Shaun> the drive mounts fine after i attach it
[08:26] <Shaun> and i can use it normally
[08:27] <Lokin> Anyone, telnet truehelix.com 2749
[08:27] <Lokin> need some testing done
[08:27] <roadrock> Shaun: fstab should mount it on boot if its instructed properly
[08:28] <Lokin> lusepuster_: telnet truehelix.com 2749
[08:28] <O__o> anyone knows how to edit the maximus exclude list?
[08:29] <Shaun> attached, it lists the drive as sdf, but its UUID is in fstab so running mount /mnt/store mounts the drive fine
[08:29] <lusepuster_> Lokin, sure
[08:29] <lusepuster_> hang on
[08:29] <hotleg> hey guys
[08:30] <roadrock> Shaun: i think your fstab needs fixing

[08:35] <quibbler> hotleg: ;-)
[08:35] <hotleg> hey quibb thanks a lot for uyour help
[08:35] <lusepuster_> Like, why is that? Not much fun in having a graphic utility if I can't use it...?
[08:35] <mamaro> I don't understan how this works: I have the same username on my "server-ubuntu" and the "laptop-vista" then I mapped a directory. I can't delete,create new folders. What do I change in User settings?
[08:35] <hotleg> what can you tell me about virus in xubuntu?
[08:35] <savvas> Is there a recommended upgrade offline for servers without a desktop manager? This seems to be only for graphical upgrades: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD
[08:35] <hotleg> should i worried about them?
[08:35] <opera_> !Bullet Proof X
[08:36] <roadrock> Shaun: you might try /dev/sdf  /mnt/store  butusing LVM..I dunno. backup the file first
[08:36] <quibbler> hotleg: there are no virus to worry about in linux
[08:36] <opera_> !LTS
[08:36] <hotleg> cool!
[08:36] <hotleg> no drivers,no antivirus,really fast
[08:36] <hotleg> damn!!
[08:36] <hotleg> this OS rules!!
[08:36] <Shaun> it wont be sdf if i boot up with the drive attached...and as its lvm the drive isnt mounted by its partition id
[08:37] <Cedara> I had an fsck error 5 (bad block), now I should run fsck manually (ubuntu 8.10). Googled out that I should get in with the live cd then run fsck in a terminal. Now I'm unsure if I have to unmount the drive first (/dev/sda1)... newbie here...
[08:37] <Like> lusepuster what happeng with your graphic you use compiz fusion type aptitude purge compiz and disable any tink in your computer
[08:37] <Shaun> i'll comment out the lvm in fstab and see if the system hangs on boot!
[08:37] <Shaun> bbiab
[08:38] <lusepuster_> Like; I have no problem with graphics. The problem is, again, that I don't have permissions to share a folder as a windows share, although I am in admin group
[08:38] <mamaro> cool
[08:38] <Like> why
[08:39] <Like> lusepuster why
[08:39] <roadrock> Cedara: you dont fsck a mounted drive

[08:47] <dr_Willis> I normally install the samba service, give my user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME'  - then edit the smb.conf to enable the 'home shares'
[08:48] <histo> It takes for ever to get samba working properly
[08:48] <Like> with the access 644 why :)
[08:48] <int256> i installed ubuntu on my friends system. now it only shows terminal. how to enter GUI

[08:49] <Cedara> Question?
[08:50] <Like> No
[08:50] <histo> dr_Willis: well to set it up with no nagging for users. its headaches.
[08:50] <int256> roadrock: trying..
[08:50] <Like> well wenn you cant login tell me here
[08:50] <histo> dr_Willis: You still have to manually edit he smb.conf there is no way around it. to change the security line.
[08:50] <Linux_Time> moin o:
[08:50] <dr_Willis> histo,  i always manually edit it anyway...
[08:51] <dr_Willis> since i know exasctly what i want. :)
[08:51] <Cedara> I unmounted and ran fsck from the usual window, now i'm getting lots of "error reading block ...." messages with "ignore error" at the end
[08:51] <Cedara> google says the hdd is failing
[08:51] <Cedara> is that correct?
[08:51] <Cedara> because I still have a warranty on it
[08:51] <dr_Willis> Cedara,  lets just say - it pays to have backups.....
[08:51] <Cedara> dr_Willis: I do have some backups
[08:51] <Linux_Time> is there a german ubuntu channel in this network?
[08:51] <dr_Willis> Cedara,  i would back it up.. and thourlgy test it.
[08:52] <jsbw> hi im a newbe, who can helps me to getsound on a compaq
[08:52] <roadrock> int256: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start might wotk.
[08:52] <Cedara> dr_Willis: how do I thoroughly test it? I'm still a newbie in this
[08:52] <histo> dr_Willis: yeah its just annoying that they are trying ot add support in the gui for sharing. But they forgot something major that windows users are used to.

[09:10] <mchelen> gluonman, are you using usb or bluetooth?
[09:10] <it-linux> WeepingUser : I have a nice program that can build repository that worked on your working Netbook
[09:11] <gluonman> mchelen, I'm using USB.
[09:11] <it-linux> WeepingUser : that is aptonCD
[09:11] <Ademan> does anyone know where i can get python 2.6.x without sidestepping apt? i'm on intrepid atm
[09:11] <mchelen> gluonman, does the phone support detection as usb hd? if not you may need some particular programs
[09:11] <Shaun> roadrock: i'll look into the possibility of it being an lvm issue
[09:11] <Like> gluonman,  after 8.10 the system autoconfigure the flash point
[09:11] <lusepuster_> Like, please don't try to solve people's problems if you don't have a clue what they are about. It is not making anything easier and giving others the false impression that the problem is already being solved.
[09:12] <gluonman> mchelen, the phone uses wm5.2 (Windows Mobile). It's designed for USB file-transfers and autosync. But Ubuntu just won't recognize it.
[09:12] <gluonman> Like, what do you mean?
[09:12] <WeepingUser> I like the setup of the screen I have. Whatever help I can get would be wonderfull, speaking of which I am not well versed in this stuff. Soo...what does aptonCD do?

[09:13] <it-linux> thank you ubottu
[09:13] <roadrock> i better crash gotta get up in 3 hours
[09:14] <WeepingUser> .....*is confused*
[09:14] <it-linux> WeepingUser : is that already have Linpus Linux on your Netbook?
[09:15] <Harmonia_Amanda> bonjour
[09:15] <WeepingUser> No. It came originally with windows. With much much effort I got unbuntu on it
[09:15] <mchelen> gluonman, try searching for your phone model and ubuntu, also check if it shows up with sudo fdisk -l
[09:15] <gluonman>  mchelen, I've been searching the web for answers for the last 2 hours. Haven't found much info. Or at least info that I understand in the least. But I'll try sudo fdisk -l
[09:16] <streenz> WeepingUser, I wasnt looking at this window until now.. I also have an Acer Aspire One running ubuntu, was there something you had a problem with?
[09:16] <Like> hey lusepuster_  dont fith please
[09:16] <ikonia> Like: don't fith ?
[09:16] <mchelen> gluonman, does it work okay in other computers? maybe some option on the phone must be enabled
[09:16] <hotbaby1> hi
[09:17] <hotbaby1> what is the equivalent of mirc in ubuntu?
[09:17] <WeepingUser> Yes. I got it on there, no problems at all, but zero internet connection, and zero recognition of wireless connections. Even hooked in via hard line I only got it to work long enough to update. ANy ideas for a kind of uneducated user streenz?
[09:17] <gluonman> mchelen, if I plug it into a Windows computer, it automatically pops up the file-transfer/sync gui. So I can get my phone's pictures, etc. on a computer if it's WIndows no problem.
[09:17] <wtv> pidgin hotbaby1
[09:17] <gluonman> mchelen, so no, it's not the phone. It's Ubuntu.
[09:17] <hotbaby1> pidgin??
[09:17] <mchelen> hotbaby1, try xchat
[09:17] <ikonia> hotbaby1: there are many irc clients
[09:17] <hotbaby1> ok
[09:17] <wtv> !pidgin ~ hotbaby1
[09:17] <ikonia> hotbaby1: if you search for "irc" in the package manager you'll see many options
[09:17] <wtv> !pidgin | hotbaby1
[09:17] <hotbaby1> where is package manager?
[09:18] <hotbaby1> does it come with ubuntu?
[09:18] <mchelen> gluonman, what is the phone model?
[09:18] <wtv> hotbaby1 yes it does
[09:18] <ikonia> hotbaby1: the package manager is with ubuntu, yes
[09:18] <ikonia> hotbaby1: if you search the package manager for "irc" you'll see many clients
[09:18] <gluonman> mchelen, it's the T-Mobile Dash.
[09:18] <hotbaby1> how to get access to package manger?
[09:18] <hotbaby1> system menu?
[09:18] <streenz> WeepingUser, the wifi doesnt work right out of the box.. have you tried doing anything, like installing other wifi drivers?
[09:18] <it-linux> WeepingUser: ok, what kind of Ubuntu you have installed ?
[09:18] <ikonia> hotbaby1: system -> administration -> synaptic
[09:18] <mchelen> hotbaby1, applications -> add /remove
[09:18] <gluonman> mchelen, the Dash's OS is wm5.2
[09:18] <mchelen> either one
[09:19] <hotbaby1> how to install stuf in synaptic?
[09:19] <hotbaby1> stuff*
[09:19] <WeepingUser> I would if I knew where to get any. Or how to install them.
[09:19] <ikonia> !synaptic > hotbaby1
[09:19] <barduck> how would I rename a filename extension to lower case? I found a "rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'" command but it renames the entire filename. How do I change it to work on extension only ?
[09:19] <it-linux> WeepingUser : try wicd
[09:20] <it-linux> WeepingUser : it works for me until now
[09:20] <crazy_monkey> i want do install something but ./install gives the error "command not found"
[09:20] <WeepingUser> And I have unbuntu version 8.10
[09:20] <dash84> the room has 1337 people
[09:20] <streenz> WeepingUser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L   <--- on that page it has a section for WLan
[09:20] <hotbaby1> one more question
[09:20] <dash84> you could read that in two ways
[09:20] <dash84> ;]
[09:20] <hotbaby1> i'm going to install ubuntu
[09:20] <hotbaby1> i have 45GB which has vista installed -boot drive
[09:21] <hotbaby1> i have another 10GB
[09:21] <hotbaby1> which is not boot drive
[09:21] <hotbaby1> can i install in 10GB?
[09:21] <ikonia> hotbaby1: sure
[09:21] <FloodBot2> hotbaby1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:21] <wtv> hotbaby1 yes
[09:21] <hotbaby1> will ubuntu installer make  it boot drive also?
[09:21] <dash84> does it have anything you need on it?
[09:21] <WeepingUser> I found that streenz, but I cant make heads or tails of it'
[09:21] <dash84> :/
[09:21] <Guest76238> hi, anyone willing to help a newby, forum is not ansg me:  mandb: device is too full...
[09:21] <Myrtti> barduck: rename 's/\.A-Z$/\.a-z/' * ?
[09:21] <hotbaby1> ?
[09:22] <wtv> if you have a single hd, grub will be installed on it hotbaby1
[09:22] <Myrtti> barduck: not sure though
[09:22] <barduck> Myrtti: I will check that
[09:22] <wtv> !grub | hotbaby1
[09:22] <hotbaby1> grub is installed automatically?
[09:22] <Myrtti> barduck: basically combine what's in man rename
[09:22] <hotbaby1> will it mess up vista?
[09:22] <wtv> yeah grub is a part of ubuntu installation
[09:22] <it-linux> WeepingUser : is there any question?
[09:22] <streenz> WeepingUser, does your wired networking work right now, or no?
[09:22] <wtv> hotbaby1 no it won't
[09:22] <hotbaby1> i have one harddisk which is partitioned into 45 GB and 10GB
[09:23] <mchelen> gluonman, have you seen synce.org?
[09:23] <gluonman> mchelen, no.
[09:23] <WeepingUser> Streenz: No it dosent. At all.
[09:23] <hotbaby1> so i just follow the installer
[09:23] <gluonman> mchelen, is it synce.org or did you intend sync.org?
[09:23] <hotbaby1> choose 10GB is the installation place?
[09:23] <hotbaby1> am i right?
[09:23] <dash84> hot, why dont you just use virtualbox
[09:23] <dash84> lol
[09:23] <mchelen> gluonman, synCE.org
[09:23] <hotbaby1> apt-get update is the command to update software in ubuntu
[09:23] <hotbaby1> i use virtualbox
[09:23] <gluonman> mchelen, alright. Does it do file transfer?
[09:23] <wtv> hotbaby1 yeah its ok you can go ahead and follow the installer just know that you vil have 2 use manual partitionning whr the mount point shud b /
[09:24] <hotbaby1> it mess up my vista boot
[09:24] <hotbaby1> i can't boot vista
[09:24] <mchelen> hotbaby1, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[09:24] <hotbaby1> after i install virtual box
[09:24] <hotbaby1> virtual box is not good
[09:24] <dash84> i highly doubt thats the case.
[09:24] <entrooo> Does anybody here use octave?
[09:24] <dash84> virtualbox never once gave me a problem
[09:24] <hotbaby1> also i'm reading "linux device driver 3rd edition"
[09:24] <dash84> +i dont see how that would affect your vista from booting
[09:25] <mchelen> gluonman, think so, here is ubuntu install guide: http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[09:25] <hotbaby1> it said i need to download linux 2.6 kernel from kernel.org
[09:25] <hotbaby1> what is the point of doing it?
[09:25] <ikonia> hotbaby1: what said that ?
[09:25] <hotbaby1> ubuntu has linux kernel?
[09:25] <Like> :)
[09:25] <ikonia> hotbaby1: ubuntu is linux
[09:25] <dash84> lol
[09:25] <hotbaby1> i'm trying to learn how to write linux device driver from a book
[09:25] <Linux_Time> does someone here know why i'm banned in #ubuntu-de ? :o
[09:25] <wtv> don't go for manual update. install what ubuntu gives you hotbaby1
[09:25] <Myrtti> hotbaby1: good luck with that
[09:25] <ikonia> hotbaby1: ok - well ubuntu uses the linux kernel
[09:25] <gluonman> mchelen, thank you. I'll check that out. Any problems and I'll be back to ask you.
[09:25] <ikonia> Linux_Time: join #ubuntu-irc
[09:26] <WeepingUser> Streenz?
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: having the kernel sources will make it easier for you as you can study them
[09:26] <mchelen> gluonman, hope that works idk if there is an easier way
[09:26] <dash84> yeah can someone get an op in #kubuntu-offtopic to unban me
[09:26] <dash84> they banned me for being a jerk
[09:26] <gluonman> mchelen, thanks.
[09:26] <dash84> lol
[09:26] <entrooo> Anybody worked with octave before?
[09:26] <hotbaby1> chouseke
[09:26] <hotbaby1> u expert with device driver?
[09:26] <ikonia> dash84: please join #ubuntu-ops - and it's not funny
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: not at all :P
[09:26] <dash84> really?
[09:26] <ikonia> dash84: yes
[09:26] <ensonic> could anyone get something going for thsi bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oprofile/+bug/272209 ?
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: writing device drivers is not easy
[09:26] <ensonic> I really miss oprofile
[09:26] <Chousuke> hotbaby1: have you ever programmed in C before?
[09:26] <mchelen> gluonman, check the 8.10 guide if you are using intrepid
[09:27] <hotbaby1> yes
[09:27] <dash84> ...
[09:27] <Chousuke> well, good
[09:27] <dash84> :/
[09:27] <hotbaby1> i'm going to learn linux device driver 3rd edition
[09:27] <ikonia> dash84: please stop that
[09:27] <ikonia> hotbaby1: ok, good luck with it
[09:27] <streenz> WeepingUser, sorry.. what does it do? Is it saying "Disconnected" or something similar after it tries to connect thru a wired connection?
[09:27] <gluonman> mchelen, alright.
[09:27] <dash84> stop what
[09:27] <hotbaby1> i heard most of the source code doesn't compile
[09:27] <homercycles> does anybody know where gnome stores all its recent file history for applications such as Totem? I'd like to automate the clearing of such information
[09:27] <ikonia> dash84: making random posts in this channel please.
[09:27] <trupheenix> ikonia: how do i remove sudo privileges for a user?
[09:27] <hotbaby1> so anyone has written device driver before?
[09:27] <ikonia> hotbaby1: you heard wrong, and that is not ontopic for this channel
[09:27] <ikonia> trupheenix: take them out of the admin group
[09:27] <dash84> nah thats just my expression being translated into text.
[09:27] <ikonia> dash84: then please stop that
[09:28] <dash84> but im so used to it!
[09:28] <ikonia> dash84: then please stop that
[09:28] <trupheenix> ikonia: ok so the command for doing that is? i know how to use the GUI but i'm trying this on a server
[09:28] <WeepingUser> Streenz: EXACTLY it sits there doing its attempting to connect, then says disconnected.
[09:28] <ikonia> trupheenix: usermod -g $groups user
[09:28] <trupheenix> ikonia: ok
[09:28] <ikonia> trupheenix: with sudo of course
[09:28] <entrooo> Hey, I'm in a gnome terminal window and it says "END" and I can't figure out how to get back to the prompt
[09:28] <ikonia> tritium: or you could just pull them from the /etc/group file
[09:28] <entrooo> no matter what i hit it beeps
[09:28] <ikonia> tritium: sorry not you
[09:28] <Kartagis> entrooo, type q
[09:28] <ikonia> trupheenix: or you could pull them from the /etc/group file
[09:29] <quibbler> entrooo: type q
[09:29] <entrooo> Kartagis, thank you man, that beeping was killing me
[09:29] <Kartagis> np entrooo
[09:30] <entrooo> Do you know how to turn off that system beep? I tried doing some commands I read to turn it off in the terminal but it is still doing it
[09:30] <streenz> WeepingUser, okay, the exact same thing happened to me as well.. it is a problem with the kernel 2.6.27-11... I fixed it on mine by loading an earlier kernel at boot that I had installed, but if you just installed ubuntu recently you might not have one to choose from..  hrmm
[09:30] <Mpole> hi everyone
[09:30] <Mpole> does anyone know how to configure a CDMA USB data modem?
[09:30] <WeepingUser> *looks hopefully at*

[09:31] <theygotme> how do i comment out lines in conkyrc ?
[09:31] <wtv> or press backspace in empty textbox
[09:31] <crazy_monkey> help, when I enter './install' it sais command not found
[09:32] <quibbler> theygotme: # at the beginning  of the line
[09:32] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: that is telling the system to run the file named "install"
[09:32] <theygotme> quibbler: then it only displays a # in front of the rest :(
[09:32] <WeepingUser> I apologize in advance if I am a little dull, I have been working on this...*counts* 16 hours
[09:32] <entrooo> quibbler where does it say system though? I don't see it in there
[09:33] <crazy_monkey> ardchoille, there is a file install in the directory but why this error
[09:33] <Mpole> Anyone: How do I configure my CDMA USB data modem using setserial, wvdialconf and wvdial?
[09:33] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: is the file named install or Install or INSTALL or install.sh?
[09:33] <quibbler> entrooo: main menu
[09:33] <crazy_monkey> ardchoille, no its just install
[09:34] <entrooo> quibbler, I'm talking about in the sound preferences
[09:34] <entrooo> I'm in sounds and I don't see system any where
[09:34] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: open the fle in gedit and see what it is: gedit install
[09:34] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: I'm thinking it is install instructions rather than an install script
[09:35] <it-linux> I have a problem recently, my Firefox it´s becaome slow to loading.
[09:35] <it-linux> the internet connection is fine, no problem at all
[09:35] <quibbler> entrooo: so am i...last tab is system beep
[09:35] <Kartagis> when I am connected to a samba share, the laptop takes sooooo long to shutdown. any ideas why?
[09:36] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: also check the execute perms on that install file, you may have to set the execute bit
[09:36] <it-linux> when I switch tab, it´s hang up ffor a while than loading.
[09:37] <it-linux> what´s the problem?
[09:37] <it-linux> I´ve re-install too
[09:38] <quibbler> theygotme: where in conkyrc are you trying to comment out?
[09:38] <entrooo> quibbler my last tab is just Sounds, I only have two, Devices and Sounds
[09:38] <streenz> WeepingUser, I'm sending you a private message, it should show up as my name by the channel list (where it says #ubuntu on the side)
[09:38] <simeon_> hi all... is there a Right Way (TM) to compile out-of-tree kernel modules to load on a standard Ubuntu install? I'm having module symbol version issues...
[09:39] <quibbler> entrooo: i have 3 tabs ..i'm using ubuntu you?
[09:40] <simeon_> I installed and extracted linux-source, then I copied my running kernel's .config from /boot, did a make modules_prepare
[09:40] <entrooo> quibbler, I have ubuntu intrepid 8.10
[09:40] <simeon_> make M=/some/dir/containing/module builds the module
[09:40] <simeon_> modinfo says it has module versioning
[09:40] <quibbler> entrooo: ah i,m 8.04 maybe 8.10 is different ask again
[09:41] <simeon_> but I get a kernel message saying it cannot find the versioning structure in the module when I try load it with insmod...
[09:41] <entrooo> quibbler, I found a temp fix to do it through terminal
[09:41] <crazy_monkey> ardchoille, thx that was the problem
[09:41] <entrooo> quibbler, thanks for your help anyways
[09:41] <ardchoille> entrooo: where are you and what's the issue?
[09:41] <ardchoille> crazy_monkey: yw :)
[09:41] <quibbler> entrooo: what was the fix?
[09:41] <entrooo> ardchoille, I'm in my sound preferences looking to turn off system beep
[09:42] <ardchoille> entrooo: for logout?
[09:42] <m31> c
[09:42] <entrooo> quibbler, it was sudo rmmod pcspkr
[09:43] <entrooo> ardchoille, just in general, like if I hold delete and stuff
[09:43] <quibbler> entrooo: thx
[09:43] <entrooo> quibbler, but you'll have to use that each time you boot up
[09:43] <ardchoille> entrooo: I see a lot of tweaks in Sound Preferences -> Sounds tab
[09:44] <entrooo> Is there a way to have my linux run a few commands each time I boot up rather than having to manually type them each time?
[09:44] <quibbler> entrooo: found this thread in the forums maybe what for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051220
[09:44] <entrooo> I have to turn on my wireless card each time and it's kind of annoying to type it each time
[09:44] <ikonia> entrooo: /etc/rc.local maybe ?
[09:44] <entrooo> ikonia, what is that?
[09:45] <ikonia> entrooo: script file thats executed on boot
[09:45] <entrooo> ikonia, should I just add my own commands and it will work?
[09:45] <Notch-1> excuse me, shuld you point me to a good password manager that can handle pidgin/firefox/evolution/etc passwords?
[09:45] <entrooo> quibbler, good find man, thanks
[09:46] <Mpole> !Huawei EC325
[09:46] <Mpole> !Huawei
[09:47] <hotbaby1> anyone used ndiswrapper before?
[09:47] <ikonia> entrooo: pretty much yup
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Mpole: I use a Huawei.. although not that one
[09:47] <ardchoille> Notch-1:  I use revelation
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Mpole: ask your question
[09:47] <hotbaby1> mhy dell wlan wireless card doesn't work on ubuntu
[09:47] <ikonia> hotbaby1: yes, I don't personally rate it as a technology but I do appreciate some people will need it as there is no other tehnology
[09:47] <hotbaby1> easy to install
[09:47] <simplexio> Mpole: just google it. there if huawei means that you want to get 3G mobile connection
[09:47] <hotbaby1> does it come with ubuntu?
[09:47] <ikonia> hotbaby1: it won't work nativley if there is no Linux kernel module for it nativly, hence why some people need to use ndiswrapper
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !wontwork | hotbaby1
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[09:47] <ikonia> hotbaby1:  you need to install it using the package manager
[09:48] <dkg> How can I configure ubuntu to ignore my remote control as a keyboard when I use lirc, or not use lirc and have all the buttons mapped to some key using built in driver?
[09:48] <hotbaby1> it comes with package manger?
[09:48] <entrooo> ikonia, in the script it says it runs at the end of each multiuser runlevel, not at the start though
[09:48] <hotbaby1> so it's in ubuntu?
[09:48] <hotbaby1> cool
[09:48] <ikonia> hotbaby1: it is in the ubuntu software repositories which are accessed through the package manager
[09:48] <hotbaby1> so i don't need to download
[09:48] <ikonia> entrooo: oh sorry, you said at the start
[09:48] <Paddy_EIRE> !repositories | hotbaby1
[09:48] <ikonia> hotbaby1: you will need to download from the ubuntu repos through the package manager
[09:48] <hotbaby1> JRE is in pakage manger too?
[09:48] <entrooo> ikonia, I want it to run at the start
[09:48] <simplexio> dkg: i think you can configure lirc to do specific command on button
[09:49] <entrooo> ikonia, but in the script it says it runs at the end of each session
[09:49] <ikonia> entrooo: apologies, then you need to make an init script and add it to the correct run level
[09:49] <hotbaby1> i need to setup repo?
[09:49] <hotbaby1> what's that?
[09:49] <Paddy_EIRE> no
[09:49] <hotbaby1> how to get to package manager?
[09:49] <ardchoille> !repos | hotbaby1
[09:49] <hotbaby1> system->admin-synatic?
[09:49] <archman> I'm not trying to flame here, but is there any burning program that actually works? (heck...is there any program that works...) I'm trying to burn cue/bin here, on brasero, nero linux and k3b and it says that the image is corrupted. I go to the xp machine, and everything burned fine, disc working) What's now the problem again?
[09:49] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah hotbaby1
[09:49] <entrooo> ikonia, I need to head to bed, but I'll come back and try and figure that out later, thanks for your help though
[09:49] <ikonia> entrooo: no problem
[09:49] <hotbaby1> how to install
[09:49] <hotbaby1> once i get to package manager?
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: use the package manager and the links I gave you
[09:50] <ikonia> !synaptic > hotbaby1
[09:50] <dkg> simplexio: I can get lirc working but the kernel still processes buttons pressed as keyboard keys too.  can I dissable that? /dev/input/event6?
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> hotbaby1: search for ndiswrapper
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> hotbaby1: using synaptic
[09:50] <hotbaby1> and then paddy?
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: as you're not running ubuntu yet you'll find it hard to discuss this
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: try running it first
[09:50] <simplexio> archman: my gnome defautl cdburner works fine, though it want images to be .iso, chek bin2iso
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> tick it to install it hotbaby1 :P
[09:50] <ikonia> hotbaby1: also read the documents ubottu just sent you
[09:50] <hotbaby1> ok
[09:50] <Silicium> from where is the Default Nautilus-Desktop Background Color loaded if its not set in gconf?
[09:50] <Seveas> archman, try converting the .bin to iso before burning
[09:51] <simeon_> is anyone running Intrepid with a kernel from Jaunty?
[09:51] <simplexio> dkg: no idea. i just googled about that stuff few months ago when i had little project that didnt start
[09:51] <ardchoille> Silicium: in nautilus, Edit -> Backgrounds and emblems ?
[09:51] <dkg> simplexio: I've exhausted my googling skills on the matter :(
[09:52] <Silicium> the desktop background
[09:52] <archman> simplexio, seveas, is there not ANY app that supports both? Do I need to have 4 apps to do a one-type job...after two years of using ubuntu I'm starting to dislike it :(
[09:52] <Silicium> the brown one
[09:52] <Notch-1> ardchoille: i can use it with firefox?
[09:52] <Silicium> ardchoille: this isnt set in gconf if is unchanged
[09:52] <Silicium> and i need to change that default value
[09:52] <Silicium> and also not in gconf
[09:52] <quentusrex> I'm getting a locale error. How do I manually set the locale?
[09:53] <ardchoille> Notch-1: if you're talking about the functionality of kwallet, then I don't know a gnome app that does it
[09:53] <Silicium> ardchoille: any idea?
[09:53] <ardchoille> Silicium: I don't have a normal desktop in gnome but I seem to remember right-clicking the desktop and choosing "configure" or some such
[09:53] <Silicium> i dont have a gui
[09:53] <archman> simplexio: bin2iso is not in reps...
[09:53] <simplexio> archman: probably there is, but i think that .bin/cue compo is from nero and it has nothing to do with linux enviroment
[09:53]  * Flare183 is tired
[09:53] <Silicium> i need to predefine that
[09:54] <Notch-1> ardchoille: yes, i was :°°
[09:54] <barduck> how would I rename a filename extension to lower case? I found a "rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/'" command but it renames the entire filename. How do I change it to work on extension only ? or is there another command line that can do this?
[09:54] <dkg> how can I find which driver/module is using /dev/input/event6 and find it's source code? where should I start?
[09:55] <nomingzi> please advise me what program can be used to send or receive fax ?
[09:55] <Scuanor> °waves°
[09:55] <ardchoille> barduck: would this help?   http://ardchoille.pastebin.com/m1edf6002
[09:55] <Caesi> hullo, could anyone tell me how to remove tomboy notes from the startup programmes under Ubuntu? can't find it anywhere
[09:56] <archman> simplexio: i tried bchunk and it parts it into iso and some cdr's ...
[09:56] <cooldduuudde> caesi system>preferences>sessions
[09:56] <barduck> ardchoille: well, it is a start...I need it to be generic
[09:56] <Caesi> cooldduuudde: it's not there
[09:57] <Seveas> Silicium, isn't it in the gdm config?
[09:57] <cooldduuudde> caesi what's not there?
[09:57] <Caesi> cooldduuudde: tomboy notes
[09:57] <simplexio> archman: yes, yes, bchunk should do it, you could also do apt-cache search 2iso
[09:57] <Silicium> Seveas: yes, i already found
[09:57] <Silicium> thanks :)
[09:58] <archman> simplexio: searched now, only bchunk exists, but it doesn't create just a single iso...that's the problem
[10:01] <cooldduuudde> :'(
[10:01] <TheK_> ok.. I'm puzzled. I'm running ubuntu 8.10 on a amd machine with integrated ATI graphics. I'm seeing 1mb/s memory leak when running mythtv.
[10:02] <MaT-dg> how can I find the device name of a (capture)-device?
[10:03] <dkg> MaT-dg: try lspci or lsusb
[10:04] <banisterfiend> anyone know a good free gnome video capture program? i want to show someone how to configure a program
[10:04] <banisterfiend>  and i want a video of myself doing it
[10:04] <banisterfiend>  what's the best/easiest one to use? note i dont have a particularly fast system
[10:04] <koshari> banisterfiend record mydesktop
[10:04] <dkg> where can I find the source code for files in  /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/   ?
[10:04] <MaT-dg> ok, I see my webcam with lsusb, but how do I open the stream in vlc? onboard cam is '/dev/video0'
[10:04] <banisterfiend> is that the best one ksh?
[10:05] <ikonia> last hot
[10:05] <ikonia> oops
[10:05] <simplexio> dkg: from linux-source
[10:05] <saadi559595> can anyone tell me how can i use my benq 4300U XP drivers with ubuntu (gutsy)
[10:05] <koshari> banisterfiend if you dont have a particuly fast system yu can just recors a portion of your desktop, ie a single window
[10:05] <koshari> saadi559595 you cannot
[10:05] <banisterfiend> koshari: ok thanks
[10:05] <dkg> simplexio: is that the package name?
[10:06] <saadi559595> my scanner is supported with sane but i can't use it...how can i make it workable
[10:06] <simplexio> dkg: maybe... basicly if you want to edit kernel drivers you need to compile new kernel
[10:06] <koshari> MaT-dg i dont know that you can do what you want with VLC
[10:06] <koshari> saadi559595 what sort is it?
[10:06] <dkg> simplexio: that's not a problem, I NEED to get this working. thanks for the help. I'll have a little google around :)
[10:07] <saadi559595> my scanner is benq 4300 U usb flatbed scanner
[10:07] <MaT-dg> koshari: I did it before but with the new vlc or the new ubuntu the names are a little different I guess
[10:07] <simplexio> dkg: there is ubuntu way to do i. check compile kernel ubuntu way. and fetch latest kernel from kernel org
[10:07] <koshari> saadi559595 firs see if your sys can see it with lsusb
[10:07] <dkg> simplexio: will do. thanks again : )
[10:07] <simplexio> dkg: so problem is that lirc remote gives "keys" to X when you use it or what ?
[10:08] <dkg> simplexio: even without lirc, ir_common (I think) is sending keys, with lirc it gets them twice
[10:09] <saadi559595> how can i c it with |susb
[10:09] <simplexio> dkg: i could usually use my mad google skillz but im at work and only browser that i can use is ie6 on sloow xp computer
[10:10] <koshari> saadi559595 sorry i meant lsusb in a terminal
[10:10] <dkg> simplexio: I've been googling for days, found nothing of interest, only similar to this.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/67399
[10:11] <simplexio> dkg: have you tested different kernel versions ?
[10:11] <dkg> simplexio: not yet.
[10:12] <simplexio> dkg: if its kernel bug then it usually get fixed in next release.
[10:12] <dkg> simplexio: hope so.  take care.  I'll go search some more.
[10:13] <simplexio> dkg: my best quess is that if remote control uses /dev/ttyS0, it has settings wrong because it echoes all commands twice
[10:13] <alfar> hello
[10:13] <hateball> I've got an Ubuntu 8.04, with 2 NICs running under VmWare ESX. For some reason the network stops working at times. I'm wondering if this might be ESX related, or if it's a Ubuntu issue? Machines with just one NIC work fine, with or without Vmware-tools.
[10:13] <simplexio> dkg: and is there any change that you happen to be build live ubuntu + remote control + something enviroment ?
[10:19] <disappearedng> how do I open a uif file?
[10:20] <nomingzi> please advise me what program that can send and receive fax ?
[10:21] <ikonia> nomingzi: hylafax ?
[10:21] <ikonia> nomingzi: *may want to check the spelling*
[10:21] <ikonia> hilafax ? hylafax ?
[10:21] <nomingzi> ikonia: thanks
[10:22] <oCean_> disappearedng: that's a specific iso file I think?
[10:22] <hay_ig2000> hi all, when I type su >and password>authenication failed  usind intrepid
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: don't use su
[10:23] <Aragon> can i undo a aptitude update... because i have a notebook here and i it run perfectly with xubuntu until i did an update now i cant boot it... also with the older kernel, which worked before one cant boot it...
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: use: sudo -i
[10:23] <shadeslayer> hi, i have gnome and kde but gdm wont start and i have to use kdm
[10:23] <hay_ig2000> ok thanks a llot
[10:23] <oCean_> disappearedng: created by MagicISO apparently
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: su wont work as there is no root pass
[10:23] <zamba> i need a capture card that's known to work in ubuntu
[10:24] <shadeslayer> and quassel doesnt seem to display my messages i send propely
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | zamba
[10:24] <hay_ig2000> i stands for=
[10:24] <zamba> ActionParsnip: thanks
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: interactive
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: when you are done, type exit and you will revert back to user level
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hay_ig2000: try to minimise its use
[10:24] <oCean_> disappearedng: I think you need MagicISO (and also wine to run that) to use the UIF
[10:25] <hay_ig2000> OK thanks a lot
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-between-gdm-and-kdm-on-ubuntu/
[10:25] <TheK_> ok.. "used memory" as reported by "top" for example is memory which is mapped into some kind of kernel memory mangement, hence it is not 'wasted' but rather effective memory, where as 'free' memory is memory which hasn't yet been put to use.. right?
[10:25] <shadeslayer> btw when i choose gdm in default-login-manager it doesnt work
[10:25] <dash84> sup shade
[10:25] <dash84> hows life
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: pretty much, linux uses memory as disk cache to speed stuff up
[10:26] <TheK_> hence I should only worry if my userspace apps are grabbing alot of memory or if my swap is working like crazy
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: i always look at what is being used in the process list below
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: you can edit a file to reduce swappiness which will make the system reduce cache instead of using swap when it gets busy
[10:27] <TheK_> ActionParsnip: Ok.. Is theere anything I should look out for in slabtop when it comes to kernel memory usage?
[10:27] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: btw is quassel an KDE app or GNOME app??
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> !info quassel
[10:27] <banisterfiend> when i use 'record my desktop' to record stuff im doing in a window, it's kind of screwed, the videos dont work right...they remain a static picture with just some weird graphical glitches going on! help!
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[10:27] <simplexio> TheK_: yes.. and cached ?? has all memory that is reserved to caches
[10:28] <Aragon> can i pause the boot process... because when i start i throw an error but i cant read it... because it turns off so fast
[10:28] <simplexio> TheK_: so basicly in linux you dont have free memory. all memory is used to by prgrams, buffers or caches
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: seems to be kde http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/net/quassel-data
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> simplexio: exactly
[10:28] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: that means it wont work properly with gnome,right??
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> TheK_: if you have empty ram then its not benefitting your system
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: not at all, you will just have to install qt libs and some kde stuff
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: depends on your view on bloat
[10:29] <shadeslayer> np
[10:29] <TheK_> simplexio: yes.. which is just as it should be.. I was concerned at a problem when running mythtv which is causing 'hickups' to the display.. and I kind of got lost in my train of thought :)
[10:29] <shadeslayer> i like bloat
[10:29] <shadeslayer> :P
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: you can have a tonne of DE guff on your system and it will all run
[10:30] <TheK_> ActionParsnip, shadeslayer: thanks.
[10:30] <simplexio> TheK_: stalls ? when recording or when watching tv ?
[10:30] <TheK_> simplexio: watching and also when running mplayer
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: you could install all the *buntu desktops you could find and all the apps from each would run
[10:30] <shadeslayer> :) but i have to run my cursor over the chat window to get the comments to appear
[10:30] <TheK_> simplexio: I recently upgraded ati drivers from 9.1 to 9.2 so I don't know if the problem persists though..
[10:30] <saadi559595> how to get permission of editing a .conf file?
[10:31] <simplexio> TheK_: my best quess is that in this case you get more information from %wa value, it tells if some program has to wait
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: is it something like apature less the 4.00Gb or similar?
[10:31] <TheK_> simplexio: ok..  :D i think it says something about modprobe but i am not sure
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: np, run: dmesg | less      and read it
[10:34] <Mal3ko> how do you extract 7z files through terminal? which packgae i need?
[10:34] <Aragon> the problem is i cant get into the system at all... the maschine shut down at the boot progress
[10:34] <commander_> anyone got 9.04?
[10:35] <simplexio> Mal3ko: p7zip i think
[10:35] <shadeslayer> god i hate this
[10:35] <TecR0c> when you extract a tar.gz and you type tar -zxvf file.tar.gz how do you point it to the desination of where to extract the tar.gz file to ?
[10:35] <shadeslayer> im switching to pidgin
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: then in grub, run the memory tester and also run fsck on your drives
[10:35] <simplexio> Aragon: when booting, edit grub bootoptions and remove silent from options
[10:36] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, and simplexio wait i am now trying to run Windows and find the error log...
[10:37] <Slart_> TecR0c: there is probably a switch or something.. have you looked in "man tar" ?
[10:37] <Slart_> TecR0c: I think that command extracts to the current folder
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: you'l need http://www.fs-driver.org/ to read the partition
[10:37] <shadeslayer> how do i set the laptop to power save mode??
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: i think if you: apt-cache search laptop   you may come up golden
[10:38] <shadeslayer> :O
[10:38] <shadeslayer> so many results
[10:39] <Slart_> shadeslayer: you mean suspend it?
[10:39] <Slart_> shadeslayer: or just change the power management settings
[10:39] <shadeslayer> no i mean like power save in windows
[10:40] <shadeslayer> yeah power management
[10:40] <TheK_> simplexio: It seems upgrading the ati driver might have solved the hickups after all. At least I haven't seen anything for a while now. Yet another problem fixed by trusting gut feeling. :P
[10:40] <banisterfiend> what's some other screencast software i can use besides record my desktop ?a
[10:40] <simplexio> shadeslayer: you mean hibernate/suspend to ram/suspend to disk ?
[10:40] <quibbler> commander_: try in #ubuntu+1
[10:40] <Slart_> shadeslayer: well.. I go to system, preferences, Power management
[10:40] <shadeslayer> simplexio: no, i mean power managing tools
[10:40] <redzheb> h
[10:41] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: you have kubuntu right??
[10:41] <shadeslayer> Slart_: no that is of no help
[10:41] <simplexio> shadeslayer: well check what Slart_  said. im not sure that if ther is option to change performance governor ..
[10:42] <shadeslayer> no like in KDE there are three modes
[10:42] <shadeslayer> Power save,Performance,Dynamic
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: yes, but i run fluxbox
[10:42] <DavidVWallin> savvas: Thanks for helping out yesterday!
[10:42] <Slart_> shadeslayer: then I think you need to explain a bit more what you are trying to do.. more details.. and remember, many here haven't run windows for a long time
[10:42] <shadeslayer> np
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: i still have system settings etc
[10:42] <streenz> hey I'm helping someone with their wireless drivers and I'm tryin to compile this thing and it comes up with "*** /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop."   why would she not have that, but I do?
[10:42] <savvas> DavidVWallin: you finally rebooted the machine eh? :P
[10:42] <DavidVWallin> quick question everyone. not really ubuntu-specific. Anyone know of a program that lets me capture any streaming sounds on my machine?
[10:42] <DavidVWallin> savvas: no wasn't that
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> streenz: you need your linux headers
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> streenz: for your current kernel
[10:43] <DavidVWallin> savvas: dont know if you told me to but i placed BusID "PCI:3:0:2:0" in the configfile
[10:43] <Slart_> !info streamripper | DavidVWallin
[10:43] <DavidVWallin> savvas: it was a conflict with busses
[10:43] <quibbler> banisterfiend: byzanz..istanbul
[10:43] <savvas> DavidVWallin: ah no, that was the other guy :)
[10:43] <shadeslayer> something like power devil for GNOME
[10:43] <DavidVWallin> savvas: still you both helped out a lot and didn't give up :) thanks a lot
[10:43] <streenz> ActionParsnip, sorry, how would I get the linux headers?
[10:43] <savvas> sure no problem
[10:44] <simplexio> DavidVWallin: if you use pulseaudio (i think us default now in ubuntu) you can make output-sink that writes all stuff you hear from speakers to harddisk, i think, newer even tryed something like that
[10:44] <oCean_> streenz: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[10:44] <streenz> oCean_, okay thanks
[10:44] <banisterfiend> quibbler: thanks homes, ill give it a go
[10:45] <DavidVWallin> simplexio: hmm, know where i can find more information about that?
[10:45] <disappearedng> Hey man
[10:45] <shadeslayer> !powerdevil
[10:45] <disappearedng> how do I tell my android to stop using GPRS
[10:45] <shadeslayer> !power devil
[10:45] <shadeslayer> :|
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> streenz: uname -r
[10:46] <simplexio> DavidVWallin: cant remeber, i think it was someking page which had perfsetup pulseudio, or something
[10:46] <grandrew> hi all! where do all the source packages go/unpack to? I did 'apt-get source iptables' and dont know where to find it now?
[10:46] <TecR0c> how do i use tar to unzip a file and extract it in a folder?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> streenz: apt-cache search header <kernel version numbers>
[10:46] <MaT-dg> my usb-cam is '/dev/video1', how do I open the stream in vlc? with v4l or v4l2?
[10:47] <TecR0c> i looked in man tar but couldn't work it out
[10:47] <DavidVWallin> simplexio: okey, i'll confront google then :D
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: is it a .zip or a .tar.gz
[10:47] <TecR0c> tar.gz
[10:47] <grandrew> MaT-dg: depens on camera driver. Most likely v4l2 method
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=330618
[10:47] <ikonia> tertar zxvf tar.gz
[10:48] <simplexio> DavidVWallin: i think you find what you need with "pulseaudio and output-sink to .wav or something
[10:48] <ikonia> TecR0c: sorry - tar zxvf tar.gz
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: tar zxvf <file> -C /destination/folder
[10:48] <linxeh> TecR0c: tar xf file.tar.gz (modern tar automatically detects compression and adds j / z as appropriate)
[10:48] <shadeslayer> whats the network manager in GNOME??
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> TecR0c: if the dest folder is not yours yu will need sudo
[10:48] <zash> shadeslayer: "network manager"
[10:49] <TecR0c> i am copying from a cdrom to my home folder
[10:49] <shadeslayer> zash: nope,cant find it
[10:49] <shadeslayer> oh wait
[10:49] <shadeslayer> found it
[10:49] <shadeslayer> XD
[10:50] <DesFire> cheers
[10:50] <shadeslayer> hmm GNOME didnt detect my wifi card
[10:50] <Jazzinghen> Hi
[10:51] <DesFire> hi
[10:51] <Jazzinghen> I'd like to setup a dual monitor
[10:51] <Jazzinghen> I've done everything, but I need to configure it
[10:51] <jigp> can you guys access your accounts at gmail.com?I can't access.server error..
[10:52] <ikonia> jigp: this is ubuntu support
[10:52] <Jazzinghen> I've used nvidia-setting to activate Xinerama, but now I have 2 problems
[10:52] <Weeltin> hello..
[10:52] <exon> does anyone have used free NX
[10:52] <shadeslayer> jigp: yes,i can access btw
[10:53] <jigp> what?really?
[10:53] <shadeslayer> yeah
[10:53] <Weeltin> anyone with experince in cacti? need help to get it to make the rra files, after i have make a update form b to d
[10:54] <Jazzinghen> 1) How do I tell Xorg to use a screen as the main screen? Because it seems like my PC won't let me do this and 2) (It's silly I know) how can I tell Xorg to use the same wallpaper on each monitor instead of stretching it between the two?
[10:54] <oCean_> exon: I did / do
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !xinerama
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Jazzinghen: for the wallpaper, Ive heard of people making a big wallpaper out of 2 so it goes between
[10:55] <shadeslayer> what's the command to see if my wifi hardware has been detected or not
[10:55] <Jazzinghen> Hm, yes, but
[10:56] <Jazzinghen> I'd like to use my wallpapers...
[10:56] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, it doesnt work... windows always says that one have to formate the partition... so can it be that there is something broken?
[10:56] <DesFire> iwconfig
[10:56] <DavidVWallin> is there a pulseaudio-output-device?
[10:56] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, and now the question is how can i run fsck ?
[10:56] <shadeslayer> thanks
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: like i said, windows cant read ext3 natively, you need a program so it can, i gave you the link ealier
[10:57] <DesFire> did that work shade
[10:57] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, yea i installed it ;)
[10:57] <shadeslayer> yes
[10:57] <DesFire> cool
[10:57] <ftab> Nvidia drivers run better on Linux or windows?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: thats all i know about it
[10:57] <DesFire> i,m just learning commands
[10:57] <ftab> or there is no difference in terms of performance>
[10:57] <ftab> ?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> ftab: depends on config and driver version
[10:58] <shadeslayer> DesFire: how do i find nearby wireless networks??
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ftab: it varys wildly
[10:58] <Slart_> ftab: I think most drivers are more polished in windows
[10:58] <Aragon> ActionParsnip, ok... do you know how i can run fsck ?
[10:58] <DesFire> chech your network
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Aragon: if you boot to the grub menu (esc at boot) you can drop to root console and do stuff
[10:58] <oCean_> shadeslayer: "iwlist scanning"
[10:58] <DesFire> check wireless networks?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> oCean_: that needs sudo
[10:58] <bonhoffer> i am trying to create a usb boot disk --- but the utility says out of 954 mb only 199 are free
[10:58] <bonhoffer> i have deleted all files on the disk
[10:59] <Dimitree> How can i run such files ?  ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.19, dynamically linked (uses shared libs) ? When i try to run it, it says comman not found ?

[10:59] <ftab> Window is known to be best for 3D Games,not linux is that right, though I am using Ubuntu
[10:59] <shadeslayer> thanks

[10:59] <Slart_> bonhoffer: emptied the trash?
[10:59] <bonhoffer> Slart_, yes
[10:59] <shadeslayer> :)
[10:59] <bonhoffer> and ActionParsnip, i am following those guides
[10:59] <bonhoffer> the problem is there is no room on my device
[10:59] <Slart_> ftab: since most games are written for windows I would say yes
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: then install less apps
[11:00] <bonhoffer> no room for my live install
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: use apt-get to remove unecessary apps, and run sudo apt-get clean to remove old debs
[11:00] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, i have deleted _all_ files
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: then if you want it *blank* then format it
