[00:00] <vision_> then, reboot
[00:00] <dethnull> how would you go about doing that?
[00:00] <meoblast001> how do i make usplash start when i shut my computer off?
[00:00] <vision_> how would you edit /etc/passwd
[00:00] <vision_> ?
[00:00] <dethnull> oo its a file
[00:00] <dethnull> sorry i thought you ment doing passwd then some command
[00:00] <vision_> :)
[00:00] <soundray> dethnull: don't edit /etc/passwd in a running system
[00:01] <soundray> dethnull: there is a command for renaming users, let me just search for it
[00:01] <dethnull> alright thanks :D
[00:01] <Tensei> can you remote desktop from vista to ubuntu?
[00:01] <meoblast001> anyone?
[00:01] <vision_> Maybe you could create a new user, then change his guid and uid to the same ones as your existing user
[00:01] <vision_> Tensei:  google vnc
[00:01] <soundray> dethnull: use 'usermod -l'. Please read the hint in 'man usermod'
[00:02] <Tensei> vision, thanks.. i was hoping the remote desktop acess in ubuntu would work.. i didn't want to use a 3rd party for security reasons, but if it's all i got... which is the best VNC?
[00:02] <soundray> Tensei: yes, enable remote desktop in ubuntu via System-Preferences and use a vnc client in Windows
[00:03] <Tensei> Ah ok, so I use VNC from vista to connect to ubuntu's remote desktop..
[00:03] <dethnull> so it would be usermod -l <mynewloginname>  correct?? i just want to maek sure i do this right
[00:03] <soundray> Tensei: the remote desktop feature in ubuntu uses the VNC protocol
[00:03] <Tensei> Ahhh..
[00:03] <soundray> dethnull: yes, but please read the man page
[00:03] <dethnull> yea i was going to
[00:03] <vision_> Tensei: all of those can be made pretty secure.  They vary according to speed and whether or not there is a windows client
[00:03] <soundray> dethnull: I mean, no
[00:03] <vision_> Tensei: I use freenx, I think it's the fastest
[00:04] <Lunar_Lamp> When will updated versions of apache and php that include bug fixes be in the repostitories?  They're in intrepid I think, but obviously I'm not deploying intrepid in a production environment.
[00:04] <Tensei> vision, does it connect directly to the ubuntu remote desktop ?
[00:04] <soundray> Tensei: I've heard that freenx is generally better for cross-platform use (nod to vision_)
[00:04] <dethnull> you know yakuake is prob the best terminal i've used
[00:05] <vision_> Tensei: I think that remote desktop is specific to KDE or gnome.  I'm talking about installing a new vnc server
[00:05] <Tensei> I see.. boy I'm glad you guys are smart and willing to talk..
[00:05] <vision_> I don't think the KDE one has a windows client
[00:05] <vision_> but, I could be wrong
[00:05] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: security-relevant fixes go into the regular repositories. Feature updates may be available through backports and proposed
[00:05] <soundray> !backports > Lunar_Lamp
[00:05] <kristina> .
[00:06] <Lunar_Lamp> soundray: yes, but for example, there is an apache 2.2.9 which includes security fixes etc, and ubuntu only has 2.2.8 at the moment in hardy (including backports) so how can I tell if the security fixes therein have been included?
[00:06] <soundray> Tensei: I'm generally smart and I shut up. Just prepared to make an exception for you.
[00:06] <soundray> Tensei: oops, that's not what I wanted to say
[00:07] <Tensei> Lol soundray i gathered your meaning
[00:07] <Tensei> ok vision/soundray.  i would install freenx client for linux, set up a server, download the windows client from no machine and install it on vista, then the two should talk together?
[00:07] <cdubya> I need to figure out why Connect to Server won't work for me all of a sudden to create an SSH connection to a machine on my LAN. I replaced our router as our old one got tapped by a storm and we are running a different IP range, but I can connect using gFTP, which was weird. I've never not been able to connect to this machine using the Connect to Server. Suggestions?
[00:08] <soundray> Lunar_Lamp: there are changelogs in /usr/share/doc/packagename/
[00:08] <soundray> !freenx > Tensei
[00:09] <Ahadiel> cdubya, Uhh, does the server even have sshd?
[00:09] <soundray> Tensei: no personal experience here. vision_?
[00:09] <BobPenguin> Hello guys. Where can I find some how to for getting a windows 98 box to network with a either a ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 box?
[00:09] <cdubya> Ahadiel, heh, yes.
[00:10] <Tensei> vision must have fallen asleep :-)
[00:10] <cdubya> Ahadiel, it worked fine before.....I can connect still using gFTP, but it's weird. The Connect to Server just will not work for some reason....
[00:10] <soundray> BobPenguin: what kind of networking -- file sharing?
[00:10] <BobPenguin> yes
[00:10] <harpreet> i just added a new partition, its formatted ext3 and mounted but i cannot create any folder (access denied!!!) any help?
[00:10] <BobPenguin> soundray: yes, filesharing
[00:11] <Spliffer_GL> wat mach ich bei apt-get read file system only?+
[00:12] <soundray> BobPenguin: right-click a folder you want to share and go to Sharing Options
[00:12] <BobPenguin> harpreet: sudo nautlius, right click on the permissions, change them to allow your user to access it
[00:12] <Ahadiel> cdubya, Does an icon appear on your desktop or in the places menu once you try to connect?
[00:12] <david__> hello
[00:12] <meoblast> hi again
[00:12] <BobPenguin> soundray: should I have samba installed?
[00:12] <meoblast> i guess this usplash problem isnt gonna get fixed =(
[00:12] <cdubya> Ahadiel, no, when I try to setup the connection, it tells me it timed out.....gFTP takes a bit, but it connects
[00:12] <soundray> BobPenguin: please recommend gksudo with nautilus ( harpreet)
[00:12] <edz> i need some help, i have a geforce 8800.. when i first installed it was at 1680x1050 widescreen, everything was fine.. i installed the restricted gphx drivers through system - pref - drivers, when it rebooted it was at 500x350 horrible resolution, can anyone help me get it back to 1680x1050?
[00:12] <soundray> BobPenguin: it will offer to install it for you
[00:13] <voraisto1> where can i find an archive manager that splits an archive in a few files ?
[00:13] <soundray> harpreet: I would recommend creating a folder inside the mounted partition and giving users write access to that
[00:13] <Ahadiel> cdubya, Hrm, that's strange.
[00:13] <Tensei> soundray: the freenx seems to only have packages up to ubuntu 7.10.. will that work on the new version?
[00:13] <BobPenguin> soundray. Thanks. I forgot to mention the ubuntubox has not an internet connection, so I will have to use AptOnCd to install samba
[00:13] <Nexinarus> Hi I've mounted a Vista partition under Ubuntu, however i cant access "my documents" and the such - the folder "Documents and Settings" seems empty - how can i access them ?
[00:14] <soundray> Tensei: don't know, sorry

[00:17] <SaYaLePRoSo> soundray:  i can understand u
[00:17] <meoblast> how do u make usplash work?
[00:17] <meoblast> it wont come up on shut down
[00:17] <Tensei> soundray, thanks for the help brother.  One quick question, is there any easy way to change my user password? (only one user ubuntu 8.04)
[00:17] <earthsound> can someone take a look at the fdisk -l output and tell me if GRUB should be set to be looking for Ubuntu in hd0,4? http://code.bulix.org/6xn1kq-67635?raw
[00:17] <kristina> i want to change ports.  the ubuntu community documentation says "XChat users can change this by going to XChat -> Network List, selecting Ubuntu Servers, clicking Edit, and change irc.ubuntu.com to irc.ubuntu.com/8001. You may also need to change the Freenode server in the same way from irc.freenode.net to irc.freenode.net/8001.".  But once I have selected Network List, I am unable to find anything called Ubuntu Servers to select.
[00:17] <soundray> Tensei: yes, enter 'passwd' in terminal and follow the dialog
[00:18] <Dog> meoblast: did you try linking it into /etc/rc0.d/ ?
[00:18] <Tensei> terminal eh.. (my first hour on linux/ubuntu)... i'll see if i can locate it
[00:18] <windmill> Hi all, just in case anyone is interested I managed to fix (work around) the problem I was having earlier with upgrading from gutsy to hardy
[00:18] <soundray> Dog: you can grab a tab from one terminal window and drag it to another
[00:18] <edz> i need help setting up my screen resolution
[00:18] <voraisto1> so... how do I create a multiple-files archive ?
[00:19] <Lvl21nerd> hey i have Azureus installed, and forgot to change my default download place and now i cannot find what i have downloaded
[00:19] <voraisto1> as in archive-part1.gz archivepart2.gz, etc..
[00:19] <meoblast> Dog: not sure
[00:19] <kristina> edz: what is the nature of your problem?
[00:19] <KDB9000> hello, has anyone tried to sync an ipaq in ubuntu using synce or some other software?
[00:19] <bdog> someone help me. dolphin doesn't display files. it just says loading directory forever.
[00:19] <Lvl21nerd> is there a way to show hidden files?
[00:19] <kristina> edz: and are you on a laptop?
[00:19] <meoblast> Dog: i had to do Cnt+Alt+F1 to do some maintanance and usplash just stopped working
[00:19] <windmill> soundray, thanks for helping earlier, the fix was to reboot with an earlier kernel (2.6.22-14) and then run dpkg --configure -a
[00:20] <Thanatos____> Hi, I'm running Hardy with gnome. For some reason this box became unable to see my windows shares on my network this week. Anyone have any experience with this?
[00:20] <bdog> i can view some files but I have to click "open as root"
[00:20] <soundray> windmill: glad you got it working again
[00:20] <fad> Can someone help me create a bootable cd so I can update my BIOS?
[00:20] <RudyValencia> How do I configure Ubuntu to recognize the extra keyboard buttons and mouse scroll wheel my Microsoft Wireless desktop keyboard/mouse combo?

[00:23] <fad> soundray these look like full DOS images
[00:23] <windmill> chad, is it a full screen console?
[00:23] <chad> yeah
[00:23] <chad> just a black screen which says type help for commands
[00:23] <ice_cream> i seem to have pulled it off, but perhaps by chance..  eth0 connected to one 192.168.1.x gateway, and eth1 to another, and yet a ping of a 192.168.1.y host is correctly resolved =P
[00:23] <Lvl21nerd> ok i see that the folder exists but it still cannot find it in my home folder

[00:25] <kristina> has anyone synced their iPhone to an ubuntu computer?
[00:25] <Lvl21nerd> simNIX: the folder exists but i cannot make it viewable in the home folder
[00:25] <chad> does anyone know what i do at this console
[00:25] <windmill> chad, it sounds like something might have gone slightly wrong in the install process
[00:25] <chad> ?
[00:25] <KDB9000> kristina: when you figure that out let me know so i can try and synce my ipaq. lol
[00:25] <chad> really?

[00:29] <kristina> "Your iPhone or iPod Touch must be "jailbroken" so you can run Installer"... I'm not game to try that!

[00:34] <Che_Guevara> i burned around 10 ubunto cd's by different programs , with different cd roms and all cd's came out corrupt... although the version i downloaded from the internet was complete
[00:34] <hal14450> anand, all you need to do is fillin the appropriate info for your ym account in pidgin
[00:34] <kristina> yeah well I heard Canonical is working on a smartphone of their own.  Is this true?
[00:34] <chad> ok windmill
[00:34] <soundray> K^Holtz: I think amarok may be trying to index your music files

[00:35] <KDB9000> meoblast001: you having trouble with usplash?
[00:35] <sotec_prod>  Any chance there is a gnome panel customizer for power users, or am I stuck with the default?
[00:35] <soundray> K^Holtz: I'm not sure -- I gave up on amarok because I felt it was doing too many things and not giving me enough control.
[00:35] <meoblast001> KDB9000: yup... i did a Ctr+Alt+F1 and ever since usplash wont come up on shutdown
[00:36] <Che_Guevara> well, i downloaded the file from the official site and everything went down smooth...why would it be corrupt?? i mean it was stated that the file was in the .iso format to preserve its integrity
[00:36] <harpreet> syco54645 what you trying to do?
[00:36] <arooni-mobile> how long should i let memtest86+ run for?
[00:36] <KDB9000> meoblast001: that is interesting
[00:36] <SebNaitsabes> I installed and re installed Flash for this woman using VNC, and it still won't work,  things are just white.  any suggestions?
[00:36] <hal14450> arooni-mobile, days or hours depending ont eh cpu
[00:36] <soundray> K^Holtz: sorry, I know I'm not helping much. Please feel free to re-ask the channel
[00:36] <Joelito> hi all, Is there a sotware that will help me if an ISO file is not corrupted? I downloaded an ISO file which doesn't has its md5sum check
[00:36] <kristina> syco you can change the partition type in fdisk
[00:36] <harpreet> Syco54645: what are you trying to do , please elaborate
[00:37] <Dog> meoblast001:  ubottu didn't help? sorry mate, hopefully KDB can help... the next thing I would do is uninstall and install again....
[00:37] <SebNaitsabes> jealitio: yes I think there is something look through snayptic
[00:37] <KDB9000> meoblast001: does it only do that on shutdown or on boot up as well?
[00:37] <sotec_prod> I need a Gnome panel power user sort of application to change more of it's appearance. Is there any such package?
[00:37] <soundray> arooni-mobile: purists run it for a week. Most problems show up within two hours, though
[00:37] <SebNaitsabes> joelito: yes I think there is something look through synaptic
[00:37] <Syco54645> harpreet, i have an old ext3 drive that used to house my install.  i want to get rid of that and make it into a storage drive.  completely repartion it and all that.  i know that i need to use fdisk but i cannot remember how to make a new ext3 fs
[00:37] <sotec_prod> For instance, rounded corners on the panels
[00:37] <sotec_prod> or a 3D look
[00:37] <Che_Guevara> what is "md5sum" check?
[00:37] <meoblast001> KDB9000: it originally did it for both but now its only shutdown..... on shutdown, it falls back to the terminal... shows all that shutdown work, and in the last few seconds, usplash comes up for the finally
[00:38] <Tensei> soundray: i was looking at VNC... where is the application to set up ubuntu as a server?
[00:38] <Storrgie> i have a swap partition on my hard drive, but whenever I boot my machine says it has no swap until I go into parted and set swapon
[00:38] <soundray> Tensei: System-Preferences-Remote Desktop
[00:38] <SebNaitsabes> !md5
[00:38] <Joelito> SebNaitsabes: ok
[00:38] <Syco54645> harpreet, i think that it is mkfs.ext3
[00:38] <KDB9000> meoblast001: lol. better then my shutdown, i see lines when it shutdown and then a small flash of the splash. let me see what i can find
[00:38] <SebNaitsabes> Che_Guevara > md5
[00:38] <Che_Guevara> oh i se :)
[00:38] <soundray> Storrgie: you need to enable it via fstab
[00:38] <soundray> !fstab > Storrgie
[00:39] <SebNaitsabes> yep a way to check that the download was not currupted in anyway
[00:39] <meoblast001> KDB9000: if i reinstall my kernel will it do it?
[00:39] <Tensei> soundray: you rock.  one last question.. viruses... is there a need for virus software to protect your linux box?
[00:39] <Storrgie> soundray: is there a flag in the fstab that i need to add?
[00:39] <SebNaitsabes> Tensei: not at the moment no, but maybe in the future
[00:40] <KDB9000> meoblast001: i am not 100% sure. a complete reinstall will.
[00:40] <meoblast001> KDB9000: cant do a complete reinstall for multiple reasons
[00:40] <Tensei> SebNautsabes: thats what I thought,, thanks
[00:40] <James|lappy> zn3t are you in here >_<
[00:40] <soundray> !virus > Tensei
[00:40] <legend2440> what is the cli command to reconfigure gtk?
[00:41] <soundray> Storrgie: you need a line for your swap partition in fstab
[00:41] <James|lappy> !virus > soundray
[00:41] <James|lappy> :-P
[00:41] <meoblast001> KDB9000: 1. to backup to my server via NIC would take forever 2. i have no CD drive anymore because Dells hardware breaks too easily 3. i lost my flash drive
[00:41] <James|lappy> !virus > James|lappy
[00:41] <harpreet> Syco54645: mke3fs -j /dev/hda1(your drive)
[00:41] <James|lappy> lol
[00:41] <KDB9000> meoblast001: I had a problem with usplash before. i installed the other usplash packs and it change mine, but i was able to change it back so I am trying to find that document
[00:41] <soundray> James|lappy: what was that good for?
[00:41] <sotec_prod> Can I make the gnome panels more 3D?
[00:41] <James|lappy> curiousity
[00:41] <James|lappy> and lol
[00:41] <harpreet> Syco54645: sudo * with it
[00:41] <SebNaitsabes> !ed
[00:41] <James|lappy> the whole reason Linux doesnt have viruses
[00:41] <SebNaitsabes> !3d
[00:42] <meoblast001> k
[00:42] <Syco54645> harpreet, ah thanks.  am in fdisk right now
[00:42] <James|lappy> is because it is a VIrgin Platform
[00:42] <James|lappy> like Mac OS X  until like 2 months ago
[00:42] <harpreet> Syco54645: you welcome
[00:42] <soundray> James|lappy: please stick to the topic of this channel
[00:42] <kristina> syco: you still trying to change your partition type?  try this: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3935/
[00:42] <James|lappy> mmmk
[00:42] <James|lappy> How do I get a podcast running on Ubuntu??
[00:43]  * SebNaitsabes  there have been viruses in Linux, but they all stayed in the lab, and they won't run on modern Linux's.   yes  in the future if desktop Linux becomes much more popular we may get viruses, but it would still take an idiot to get it isntalled, unlike default Windows.  I mean an idiot that knows what they are doing to install the virus
[00:43] <James|lappy> I want to host one.
[00:43] <James|lappy> lol
[00:43] <fad> soundray i have the bootable dos cd, but i don;t know what bios files i need..
[00:43] <James|lappy> its just a matter of making a .sh file -_-
[00:43] <legend2440> what is the cli command to reconfigure gtk?   to choose screen resolutions?
[00:43] <SebNaitsabes> jameslllappy:  well there is that, but the user would still need to know how to open a .sh file right?
[00:44] <GeekSquadSF> anyone know if you can use the apt-get command on a mac to pull apt files for ubuntu machines?
[00:44] <James|lappy> double click?
[00:44] <James|lappy> I tried that
[00:44] <kristina> syco: ur welcome :-)
[00:44] <th0r> James|lappy, if the user does not run that sh file as root it can't write to the OS
[00:44] <James|lappy> GeekSquad : OS X doesnt feature the apt-get thing, because it has an easy download and install work.
[00:44] <James|lappy> yea
[00:44] <James|lappy> but you can:
[00:44] <soundray> fad: the ones that the manufacturer of your board supplies via the Support section of their web site
[00:44] <James|lappy> Just watch
[00:45] <James|lappy> I believe there is a way to overload Ubuntu 8.04.1 machines by maxing out password keys
[00:45] <GeekSquadSF> Im looking to get media support for some Iraqi guys that I have to setup a comptuer for.. I chose ubuntu so they CAN'T break it
[00:45] <kristina> buh bye
[00:45] <arooni________a> how come in the web developer extension for ff3 (ubuntu hardy) ctrl+shift+c works (to show css) but ctrl+shift+y does not work (shortcut for showing style information on a given page)
[00:45] <SebNaitsabes> media support?
[00:45] <James|lappy> hmm..
[00:45] <James|lappy> I noticed
[00:45] <GeekSquadSF> yeah.. like mp3, avi files
[00:45] <jet> motd
[00:45] <SebNaitsabes> !multimedia
[00:46] <SebNaitsabes> !mp3
[00:46] <James|lappy> it is so pwn that Ubuntu is being integrated into Dell PC's :-D
[00:46] <GeekSquadSF> they don't have an internet connection.. and the only way I can pull stuff is through a remote machine
[00:46] <James|lappy> Dell should get  a private OEM version of Ubuntu :-D
[00:46] <James|lappy> Dellubuntu :-D
[00:46] <Ahadiel> !offtopic | James|lappy
[00:46] <meoblast001> James|lappy: that would turn out bad
[00:46] <SebNaitsabes> no Internet conenction and your remote connecting to them some how?
[00:46] <soundray> James|lappy, GeekSquadSF: this is a support channel. Please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:46] <legend2440> !fixres > me
[00:46] <sotec_prod> Does anyone know if you can get the gnome panels to become 3D? Can you theme them?
[00:47] <Dr_willis> I thought del did have a tweaked ubuntu for their machines.
[00:47] <Luke> I've removed some partitions from software mdadm raid. Now I only have one raid array which is /dev/md3 but md2 and 1 still show up in /dev. ANyone know how to fix this?
[00:47] <marko-_-> how do i load subtitles in totem ?
[00:47] <SebNaitsabes> soetec_prod:  your probably after Compiz and Beryl that's the Linux 3d stuff
[00:47] <anand> hey it worked thanx a lot, HalI4450
[00:47] <SebNaitsabes> soetc_prod: I think the Gnome panels them selves cannot become 3D, because Gnome is 2D
[00:47] <SebNaitsabes> soetc_prod: same with KDE
[00:48] <marko-_-> does someone know ?
[00:48] <SebNaitsabes> soetc_prod: altough KDE4 is more 3D I think, been quite  a while since I used it
[00:48] <KDB9000> meoblast001: have you tried running the commands from here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash
[00:49] <meoblast001> illl try those
[00:49] <windmill> Does launchpad look funny to anyone else or is my browser broken?
[00:49] <marko-_-> how do i load subtitles in totem ?
[00:49] <fad> soundray i booted from this http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdfullcd.iso   and tried to boot from it and i get "boot failed"
[00:49] <KDB9000> meoblast001: try steps 3 to 4
[00:50] <KDB9000> meoblast001: skip 1 and 2, you don't need to do them.
[00:50] <meoblast001> k
[00:50] <soundray> fad: how did you burn the iso?
[00:50] <meoblast001> KDB9000: (/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so). Nothing to configure.
[00:51] <CaptainMorgan> Mechdave, unop Did Will end up getting his MBR fixed?
[00:51] <Luke> I've removed some partitions from software mdadm raid. Now I only have one raid array which is /dev/md3 but md2 and 1 still show up in /dev. ANyone know how to fix this?
[00:51] <KDB9000> meoblast001: sounds like that is the only usplash you have is the ubuntu. try running the last command
[00:51] <meoblast001> KDB9000: i already did that multiple times
[00:51] <fad> wait soundray i have booted from the cd now, do i want to install to hard drist? or run the freedos live cd? i have multiple options
[00:51] <meoblast001> DKB9000: im not trying to change the usplash... i just want it to display again
[00:51] <Dog> meoblast001: try update-grub as well.... I doubt it will help but wont hurt (if your grub is configured right)
[00:52] <anand> hi everyone, can anyone send me a link from where i can download win4lin for free
[00:52] <soundray> fad: run the freedos live CD. You will have to find a way to access the new BIOS image and the flasher program
[00:52] <SebNaitsabes> win4lin
[00:52] <SebNaitsabes> you want to run Windows inside Linux?
[00:52] <meoblast001> i'll reboot again
[00:53] <SebNaitsabes> !win4lin
[00:53] <SebNaitsabes> !virtualbox
[00:53] <Commie_Jebus> isnt it "free for use"
[00:54] <SebNaitsabes> yes
[00:54] <SebNaitsabes> free to use, but  the PUEL is closed source so not free as in freedom as well
[00:55] <soundray> SebNaitsabes: free to use? I can only see 'buy' options
[00:55] <SebNaitsabes> soundray:  http://www.virtualbox.org
[00:55] <soundray> SebNaitsabes: I see, I thought you meant win4lin
[00:55] <Phoenix92x> getting pulseaudio to work correctly shouldnt vary between kubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 8.04 right?
[00:56] <SebNaitsabes> win4lin I was asking them if they wanted Windows in Linux and no answer
[00:56] <SebNaitsabes> then I was trying to suggest virtualbox if that's what they were after
[00:56] <Phoenix92x> I'm on kubuntu 8.04 and having a lot of issues with pulseaudio but the folks in #kubuntu don't seem able to help, anyone in here able to help?
[00:56] <SebNaitsabes> what kind of issues?
[00:57] <Phoenix92x> since 8.04 I haven't had 5.1 sound, but 2.1
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> ok
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> try this
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> in a terminal
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> killall pulseaudio
[00:57] <Phoenix92x> and I think I screwed up the pulse.conf file in /etc
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> then  well play something that makes sound
[00:57] <Phoenix92x> no process killed
[00:57] <Phoenix92x> ...which is um...odd...
[00:57] <SebNaitsabes> ok it's trying to say pulse isn't even running then
[00:57] <Phoenix92x> seems so
[00:58] <Phoenix92x> I think I screwed up its conf file in /etc
[00:58] <SebNaitsabes> sure, but if pulse isn't running
[00:58] <Phoenix92x> in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
[00:58] <SebNaitsabes> I guess right now that won't really matter
[00:58]  * Phoenix92x nods
[00:58] <jramsey> i just updated from 6.06 to 8.04 hardy; my display resolution is 640/480 and it was high than this before installation; monitor resolution settings only has 640/480 and 320/240. what happened to the higher resolutions??
[00:58] <soundray> SebNaitsabes: keep it all on one line if you can please
[00:58] <threedee>  how to find the version(s) of opengl installed?
[00:58] <SebNaitsabes> however I assume pulse can be sudo apt-get purge removed and  you can check .home  for a pulse folder get rid of that if there is one. and re install pulseaudio
[00:59] <SebNaitsabes> I assume that can be done
[00:59] <Phoenix92x> sure
[00:59] <soundray> jramsey: I don't know, but you can probably fix it by setting up your monitor via 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[00:59] <Phoenix92x> one moment
[00:59] <Phoenix92x> command is apt-get purge foo bar ?
[00:59] <jramsey> soundray: will try now txs
[00:59] <SebNaitsabes> ksudeo or smoething I think on KDE acstauley
[00:59] <SebNaitsabes> rather than sudo
[01:00] <SebNaitsabes> ksudo or sudo whatever it is and then apt-get purge  whatever it's called
[01:00] <SebNaitsabes> oh yeah you could open up your package manager
[01:00] <SebNaitsabes> and do it the graphical way
[01:01] <Phoenix92x> and then apt-get install pulseaudio?
[01:01] <SebNaitsabes> yes I think so
[01:01] <jramsey> soundray: still only the two smaller resolution options
[01:01] <SebNaitsabes> ,but
[01:01] <SebNaitsabes> make sure it's gone first including any .pulse
[01:01] <SebNaitsabes> anything in your home folder for it
[01:02] <Phoenix92x> yep, erased that
[01:02] <SebNaitsabes> so  yeah it should remove with config files
[01:02] <soundray> jramsey: restart X to enable the changes you made in displayconfig-gtk
[01:02] <Phoenix92x> k, pulseaudio is reinstalled now
[01:02] <SebNaitsabes> then don't just rei nstall music,  since your speakers may now be using alsa or oss and so work a load better
[01:02] <GeekSquadSF> whats the best "windows media player" type deal on an ubuntu box running gnome?
[01:03] <meoblast001> back
[01:03] <SebNaitsabes> you can acstaully have WMP10 in Wine
[01:03] <SebNaitsabes> if you really want it
[01:03] <jramsey> soundray: i only see the two lower resolutions when i run displayconfig-gtk; how do i restart x?
[01:03] <SebNaitsabes> same with winamp
[01:03] <Phoenix92x> dont reinstall music? confused
[01:03] <Phoenix92x> dont reinstall pulseaudio?
[01:03] <Luke> I've removed some partitions from software mdadm raid. Now I only have one raid array which is /dev/md3 but md2 and 1 still show up in /dev. ANyone know how to fix this?
[01:03] <SebNaitsabes> no  I meant don't  just re install puleaudio since then it should be using alsa or whaetver, and your speakers may work better
[01:03] <Phoenix92x> because ya Id prefer to just use alsa unless there's some big advantage
[01:03] <meoblast001> KDB9000: on shutdown DHCPD3 fails to shutdown due to DansGuardian... a program i thought i uninstalled
[01:03] <SebNaitsabes> nope pulseaudio causes a load of problems for people  in this release
[01:04] <Phoenix92x> oh
[01:04] <Phoenix92x> ...
[01:04] <Phoenix92x> heh
[01:04] <Phoenix92x> ok
[01:04] <Phoenix92x> one sec
[01:04] <soundray> jramsey: did you choose an appropriate model from the dialog?
[01:04] <FloodBot2> Phoenix92x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:04] <kdb424> Back. Just wanted to say that I got ubuntu installed and booting fine on my macbook pro
[01:04] <Swish> luke, what's in your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf?
[01:04] <Swish> (which ARRAY statements)
[01:04] <Luke> Swish: the ones I dont want are commented out
[01:04] <Phoenix92x> SebNaitsabes, after I remove the files again would you mind helping me make sure alsa is running properly with the correct amount of channels?
[01:04] <jramsey> soundray: i left it plug-n-play
[01:04] <whileimhere> I need to kill the firfox process but I cannot see it in the list that top provides. How can I determine the process number of any given process?
[01:05] <Swish> so you're on the right track ;)
[01:05] <yoyoned> whileimhere: ps aux|grep firefox
[01:05] <Luke> Swish: i've been working on this a long time =D
[01:05] <KDB9000> meoblast001: that could cause the problem. if there is a fail to shutdown it displays it and generally stays in that mode till down
[01:05] <SebNaitsabes> Phoenix92x: not entirely sure how to do that. and channels hummmm meaning?  however if I remember correctly well I could look :d ,but I can't be bothered. for the sound control there is settiongs for alsa and what not there as well
[01:05] <soundray> jramsey: well, don't. Go to the dialog and select your monitor make and model if it's there, or a generic model that matches your screen's capabilities
[01:05] <Swish> Luke, so you've tried rebooting and all that too?
[01:05] <SebNaitsabes> Phoenix92:  for volume control
[01:05] <Luke> Swish: most def =)
[01:05] <Swish> and/or rmmod md, and stopping all the mdadm devices..
[01:05] <Swish> hmm
[01:05] <whileimhere> thanks! yoyoned
[01:05] <Swish> and it still picks it up eh.
[01:06] <meoblast001> KDB9000: how do i uninstall DHCPD3?
[01:06] <Phoenix92x> channels meaning 2.1, 5.1 etc
[01:06] <SebNaitsabes> Phoenix92:  I am talking Gnome/Ubuntu here so will be a bit differnet in Kubuntu
[01:06] <Wisteso> is the problem with recording when upgrading from gutsy to hardy going to be fixed any time soon? is a cause even known?
[01:06] <Phoenix92x> righto
[01:06] <soundray> whileimhere: try 'killall firefox', or find out the process id with 'ps aux | grep firefox'
[01:06] <KDB9000> meoblast001: DHCPD3, i think you need that for DHCP client
[01:06] <Swish> luke, so have you tried renaming the mdadm.conf to something else?
[01:06] <Luke> Swish: i still have one md device I want to keep
[01:06] <Swish> (and then rebooting)
[01:06] <Swish> nothing should come up.
[01:06] <Luke> Swish: nope. there's only one array line in there
[01:06] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: what problem with recording? recording what?
[01:06] <Swish> if something does, you have to find out how it's doing that.
[01:06] <yoyoned> whileimhere: also try skill firefox-bin
[01:06] <meoblast001> KDB9000: whats DHCP? ive heard that word before and used to know what it meant O_o
[01:07] <Flavio23> is there a channel related to network security issues, firewalls etc?
[01:07] <SebNaitsabes> Flavio23: nope, but what do you want to know?
[01:07] <Swish> well, rename the file and reboot or what.  if your phantom second md device still shows up, you've got bigger issues ;)
[01:07] <dbbolton> i'm using hardy, have a radeon ati 9600, can't get x to start
[01:07] <Swish> if it doesn't, you know that mdadm is finding it somehow based on the .conf.
[01:07] <SebNaitsabes> dbbolton: your in a command line?
[01:07] <Flavio23> this: a question for my communication networks exam ;)
[01:07] <dbbolton> SebNaitabes yes
[01:07] <legend2440> !ati > me
[01:07] <SebNaitsabes> Flavio23:  well there is a #networking
[01:07] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes - there's a widespread problem with alsa, oss, and really any sound server and being able to record audio from a large number of audio chipsets.
[01:07] <Flavio23> aha
[01:07] <whileimhere> yoyoned the first one worked fine! :) Thank you. I have it noted on my Tomboy notes now.
[01:07] <Luke> Swish: many people remove their .conf and still have it detect stuff =/ I've even cleared the superblocks though
[01:07] <dbbolton> using irssi atm
[01:08] <KDB9000> meoblast001: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is the system that is in just about every router and is what gives your computer an IP address so you can get to the internet
[01:08] <Flavio23> i'll try taht thanks
[01:08] <Swish> Luke, google google? :)
[01:08] <meoblast001> KDB9000: how do i get it to not care about dansguardian?
[01:08] <unop> KDB9000, not every router is a DHCP server ..
[01:08] <Luke> Swish: yes I know that from google
[01:08] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: well to be honest there is no real advantage it seems to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, plus then if you upgrade, you like many other people including myself may get pulseaudio issues
[01:08] <dbbolton> i had almost the exact same problem in debian lenny
[01:08] <KDB9000> unop: that is why i said just about every router
[01:08] <unop> KDB9000, my bad .. err, i should have read .. :)
[01:08] <dbbolton> it's like x can't find my card, but lspci lists it
[01:08] <KDB9000> unop: np
[01:09] <Luke> Swish: perhaps it's because the conf still calls it md3 and it can only list them incrementally so it makes the first two devices blank
[01:09] <yoyoned> dbbolton: are you getting any arror messages
[01:09] <KDB9000> meoblast001: do you remember what it said when it came to that, and how do you know it is related to dansguariden?
[01:09] <whileimhere> Okay I have a tough one. Is there a way when installing via a metapackage like ubuntu-desktop to specify packages you dont want?
[01:09] <Swish> Luke, that's not a bad guess.
[01:09] <dbbolton> yoyoned "screens found but none with useable config."
[01:09] <Swish> try setting it as md0 :)
[01:10] <meoblast001> KDB9000: first thing.... and it said underneath it something about dansguardian but scrolled off too fast
[01:10] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: Hardy Heron = puleaudio sound problems for many people
[01:10] <Luke> Swish: i'll try renaming it. thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you =)
[01:10] <Swish> you're welcome!
[01:10] <dbbolton> i tried mv'ing my xorg.conf, but then when i start x my monitor says no input signal
[01:10] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes, the odd thing is that everything else works fine. Sound output is fine with almost every sound server. OSS, ALSA, ESD, Pulse all work as far as output, and my microphone worked for sure in gutsy...  so I'm just surprised that such an isolated problem has no progress yet, or does it?
[01:10] <Swish> sounds like you've pretty much tried everything else already ;)
[01:10] <jramsey> soundray: ok that worked; txs for ur help
[01:10] <yoyoned> dbbolton: try renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try again
[01:10] <soundray> jramsey: you're welcome
[01:10] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso:  maybe it's a known bug
[01:11] <dbbolton> yoyoned already tried that
[01:11] <meoblast001> KDB9000: im gonna restart
[01:11] <dbbolton> yoyoned but my monitor said "no input signal"
[01:11] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes, it is. Lots of users know about it and im looking over launchpad but no developers have acknowledged it I guess
[01:11] <yoyoned> dbbolton: change the driver to vesa
[01:11] <s3a> any1 no how i can make compiz rain effects ONLY on my desktop? (cuz so far the rain is always working and it's annoying to have rain on normal windows, I just want it on top of the desktop wallpaper)
[01:11] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: well like I said no real advantage it seems to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy
[01:11] <dbbolton> yoyoned ok brb, need to install screen :D
[01:11] <whileimhere> What is the general effect  as far as slowing down a machine if you use kde apps like digikam on a GNOME desktop?
[01:12] <yoyoned> dbbolton: alt f2
[01:12] <soundray> whileimhere: it wouldn't slow it down unless you are short of RAM
[01:12] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: maybe just skip this release and get the next?  ,but if you want this release to how about in a virtual machine?  you know about thos
[01:12] <SebNaitsabes> e
[01:12] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: no way to really downgrade though besides backing up /home/ and reinstalling. Otherwise I would. I dont have the resources for backing up all my junk.
[01:13] <yoyoned> whileimhere: they work fine.  No problems with kde apps on gnome of vice versa
[01:13] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: oh your on hardy now?
[01:13] <whileimhere> I only have about a gig and of that 128 is shared video.
[01:13] <unop> whileimhere, apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop  - gives you a list of packages that are pulled in when installing it .. you can then put them in a text file, edit the text file to your needs and have apt-get read from that text file
[01:13] <whileimhere> thanks unop
[01:13] <onthefence928> i am using at leats two partition that are used to store windows stuff  so they are NTFS or FAT 32 (one of each) do i still need to defrag them if i use them under linux mostly? if so how do i defrag under linux?
[01:13] <Nickname> there's no one in the #networknig channel, ill just ask here: Following setup: FW with Server behind it. Does a portscanner see any difference if a) FW let's traffic on port 80 through and the service on port 80 is down or b) FW blocks traffic on port 80
[01:13] <soundray> whileimhere: that's plenty, unless you open a lot of gnome apps
[01:13] <glitsj16> s3a: the water effect plugin in compiz doesn't support window matching (hence no fine-grained selection possibilities), at least not the version in hardy .. better check with #compiz
[01:13] <yoyoned> unop: neat trick.  how doy you get apt to read from file
[01:14] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: yeah I went to hardy straight away after the official launch. So I'm looking for and possible fixes. There have been a few but nothing solid.
[01:14] <whileimhere> I usually have 1 - 2 open and working
[01:14] <whileimhere> Not much else
[01:14] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: well in the mean time how about a Gutsy VM?
[01:14] <s3a> glitsj16: k, thx
[01:14] <unop> yoyoned,  apt-get install $(<textfile)  # but make sure the text file is formatted right, it must contain only packagenames
[01:14] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: do the VMs allow direct access to hardware? in this case my audio card?
[01:14] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: yep
[01:15] <soundray> whileimhere: digikam will be a bit slower to open under gnome than under KDE, because it will access some shared libraries that will already be cached under KDE.
[01:15] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Awesome. I'll have to try that.
[01:15] <admin_> hey guys, if anyone if good with kernel updating and grub, please see if you can answer my question, thanks. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865545
[01:15] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: well yes it uses your hosts hardware and  has it's own hardware thing uhmmm you will see
[01:15] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso:  now the question is in your Gutsy VM do you need  USB support or not?
[01:15] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Thanks for that tip. I'll definitely give it a shot.
[01:15] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: No, the headset is a standard audio jack.
[01:16] <whileimhere> soundray I just hate f-spot and I see that gqview is to limited for me but I do like it
[01:16] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: ok well then  Virtualbox-ose should be fine you can get that from the repo
[01:16] <whileimhere> When I set this system up I gave it a 5 gig / partition is that to little?
[01:16] <dbbolton> tried the vesa driver, same error
[01:16] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Great. Im familiar with it already. I have it running XP I think.
[01:16] <SebNaitsabes> !info virtualbox-ose
[01:16] <yoyoned> admin_: run grub-install /dev/sda from the 32 bit to install on mbr
[01:16] <nickrud> admin_ run  sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install <disk with mbr> . the mbr is pointing at the 64 bit
[01:17] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: I assume you got a a Gutsy CD or ISO?
[01:17] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Do you know if all operating systems have direct access or does VM ubuntu use a hack to acccess the host ubuntu?
[01:17] <soundray> whileimhere: I set it up in 4GB on my eeepc and it's creaking at the seams
[01:17] <unop> whileimhere, depends on how much you install really, on a basic installation - 5GB suffices
[01:17] <dbbolton> yoyoned tried vesa driver, didn't work
[01:17] <soundray> whileimhere: I did add a lot of extra software, though
[01:17] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: I think I have an ISO or CD around somewhere. Or at worst I know where to get one.
[01:17] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: the VM runs as if it was some sort of hardware attached or inside the computer   maybe not the best explination, but that is the general idea
[01:17] <yoyoned> dbbolton: sudo X -configure
[01:17] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Works for me.
[01:18] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso:  they can also have advantages for example.  XP installed on thsi computer psyically and I have no working sound since some driver I have no idea what I tryed to find one at the time
[01:18] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso:  when I put a XP VM inside Ubuntu, well it uses my host OS Ubuntu for the sound :)
[01:18] <SebNaitsabes> in this case
[01:18] <whileimhere> i see that at base install of xubuntu I am already at 50% with the installation of openoffice.org
[01:18] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: That's awesome! Alright. I'll have to hope I can get the same results with compatibility.
[01:18] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: yep there should be an option use the host OS for sound or  emulate sound or something
[01:19] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: don't have the link for the virtualbox manual, but it is very good at explaining about it what can be done with it and all that
[01:19] <bobertdos> whileimhere: As an example, I have everything from Java, to Samba,  to all of gstreamer and xine installed and I'm still barely using 4 gigs.
[01:19] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Okay. I'm going to try XP first since I already have a VirtualBox image of that and then i'll try gutsy if that fails.
[01:19] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso:  and there is #vbox ,but they will usually say did you look in the manual?
[01:19] <soundray> whileimhere: okay -- but openoffice takes more space than any other program or suite of programs
[01:20] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Got it.
[01:20] <Wisteso> SebNaitsabes: Thanks a ton for the help. I'm quite flustered without my audio capture.
[01:20] <SebNaitsabes> Wisteso: or refer you to the section in the manual
[01:20] <soundray> whileimhere: of those that are standard, I mean
[01:20] <admin_> yoyoned: are you sure, will grub-install mess up stuff?
[01:20] <whileimhere> Oh okay. i know that OO is a hog but I get so many different file types coming through and usually OO handles them while the ABi has issues with many.
[01:21] <bobertdos> whileimhere: Yeah, you'll be fine, just don't get carried away :D
[01:21] <chad> help
[01:21] <chad> :|
[01:21] <chad> i just managed to install ubuntu on my machine
[01:22] <chad> i'm on xp right now
[01:22] <soundray> whileimhere: I know, I wouldn't give it up. Just saying that most of the things you might add after your basic Ubuntu installation won't be nearly as big as OOo
[01:22] <whileimhere> I decided to go this route in case I need to re-install the OS last time I lost a ton of work but having a seperate home partition should help me out right?
[01:22] <chad> i installed th recomanded ati graphics driver
[01:22] <chad> then i enabled it
[01:22] <chad> and rebooted
[01:22] <unop> whileimhere, if you have disk space to spare, you can always mount that free space that into / and move directories onto those partitions
[01:22] <chad> now ubuntu is black
[01:22] <yoyoned> admin_: it will install grub from the 32 bit system that is getting updates onto the MBR.  The other sloution would be to mount the 64 bit systems / partition, and maunully copy the stanzas for your new kernel into it
[01:22] <chad> ubuntu is pitch black
[01:22] <chad> after instaling the ati graphics driver
[01:22] <meoblast001> back
[01:22] <KDB9000> meoblast001: wb
[01:23] <meoblast001> still no fix
[01:23] <dbbolton> yoyoned i got 2 errors- modules abi and psb, 1 warning radeon no matching devices found
[01:23] <meoblast001> dhcpd3 appears to not exist KDB9000
[01:23] <chad> so now what do i do :|
[01:23] <KDB9000> meoblast001: is that what was failing?
[01:23] <chad> the graphics drivers screwed ubuntu up
[01:23] <yoyoned> dbbolton: sorry, you have exhausted my knowledge
[01:23] <mIgggUeL> hi anybody can help me to protect DoS attacks with shorewall ?
[01:24] <meoblast001> KDB9000: its failinig because "DansGuardian is not configured"
[01:24] <SebNaitsabes> !x
[01:24] <dbbolton> chad what card do you have?
[01:24] <bobertdos> chad: Please try to cut down on using carriage returns. Now, which driver did you install?
[01:24] <unop> whileimhere, a separate /home partition is a good idea, yea
[01:24] <meoblast001> KDB9000: DHCPD3 is failing because DansGuardian is not configured
[01:24] <chad> ati 1650 pro agp
[01:24] <meoblast001> KDB9000: i dont even have DansGuardian anymore... i purged it
[01:24] <SebNaitsabes> !home
[01:24] <KDB9000> meoblast001: then we need to try and remove dansguardian. you can use synaptic and remove it that way or "sudo apt-get remove dansguardian"
[01:24] <skylighter> What exactly does "Video mode not supported" mean?  I just tried running Urban Terror and the screen stayed black with a white box with blue border that said that, but I could hear the game's audio in the background
[01:25] <skylighter> I just installed the new nvidia drivers too
[01:25] <dbbolton> chad i have an aiw 9600 agp and can't get x to start at all
[01:25] <badlands> me 3
[01:25] <meoblast001> KDB9000: i already told you i purged it but ill try that
[01:25] <SebNaitsabes> skyligher: gl messages?
[01:25] <dbbolton> i think i'll have to migrate back to etch
[01:25] <chad> so there is no way for me to start ubuntu
[01:25] <meoblast001> KDB9000: Package dansguardian is not installed, so not removed
[01:25] <chad> like it was working fine
[01:25] <chad> i was checking preferances
[01:25] <SebNaitsabes> chad you can
[01:25] <SebNaitsabes> are you in a termianl?
[01:26] <SebNaitsabes> chad:  are you in a command line?
[01:26] <chad> a what?
[01:26] <chad> no i'm in xp right now
[01:26] <meoblast001> KDB9000: can i remove these libglib1.2 libboost-thread1.34.1 libboost-date-time1.34.1 libclamav3
[01:26] <meoblast001>   classpath-gtkpeer libgtk1.2-common classpath-common cacao classpath

[01:26] <skylighter> SebNaitsabes: gl messages?  what does that mean?
[01:26] <SebNaitsabes> chad: ok so X no longer works?
[01:26] <chad> X?
[01:26] <SebNaitsabes> skylighter: graphics card issues yes?
[01:26] <chad> whats X
[01:26] <KDB9000> meoblast001: no need too. search for dhcpd
[01:26] <jramsey> !x | chad
[01:26] <SebNaitsabes> chad:  the program that is used to  run Gnome/Ubuntu and KDE/Kubuntu
[01:26] <chad> oh
[01:27] <chad> how do i get to command line?
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> chad:  you got the Grub boot loader yes?
[01:27] <Tensei> anyone want to give a newbie some help with setting up an apache server on ubuntu 8.04?
[01:27] <skylighter> SebNaitsabes: I guess, i'm not sure.  I just installed the new nvidia-glx driver.  Other games play fine, like Nexuiz, but not this one
[01:27] <chad> no
[01:27] <chad> i used wubi to install ubuntu
[01:27] <jramsey> chad: App/Accessories/Terminal
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> you probably do, maybe it's so quick you go past it
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> oh wubi hummmm
[01:27] <yoyoned> Tensei: what kind of help
[01:27] <meoblast001> KDB9000: found them
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> well if you had Grub you would have access to a recovery console
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> where X can be fixed
[01:27] <chad> i just installed ubuntu
[01:27] <KDB9000> meoblast001: is dhcp3-server installed?
[01:27] <SebNaitsabes> skylighter:  try this program
[01:27] <chad> started changing preferances
[01:28] <chad> saw that it wasn't useing a driver
[01:28] <SebNaitsabes> !info envyng-gtk
[01:28] <chad> it recoomended an ati driver
[01:28] <meoblast001> KDB9000: yup
[01:28] <chad> i dled it
[01:28] <chad> and rebooted to install it
[01:28] <chad> and now
[01:28] <Tensei> yoyoned: I have installed the apache2 server.. i'm trying to start it and do general functions... How do I do this.  Do I open up the files and edit them with a text editor (if i do it says I don't have the permission)... i read the support info but I can't seem to understand it
[01:28] <KDB9000> meoblast001: uninstall server and make sure that client is installed
[01:28] <chad> the login screen is black
[01:28] <chad> :|
[01:28] <meoblast001> KDB9000: it is but ok
[01:28] <SebNaitsabes> chad:  re install Ubuntu, but do it by partitions this time
[01:28] <SebNaitsabes> chad: then you get Grub as well :)
[01:28] <SebNaitsabes> chad:  also after re install X will be working of course
[01:29] <chad> how do i install it to a partion?
[01:29] <KDB9000> meoblast001: you did say server was installed right?\
[01:29] <Dr_willis> he should be able to use alt-ctrl-f1 - to get to a console to try to fix things with wubi. i imagine..
[01:29] <yoyoned> Tensei: do you know how to use a terminal
[01:29] <chad> yeah but how do i get it to use a graphics card driver
[01:29] <SebNaitsabes> chad: you download the Live CD and boot your computer from it, and follow the installer
[01:29] <meoblast001> KDB9000: whats grml-btnet... do i need it.... and will uninstalling this stuff knock me offline
[01:29] <bobertdos> chad: I think your card is old enough that using the restricted driver is actually NOT a good idea.
[01:29] <chad> wait alt ctrl f1
[01:29] <meoblast001> KDB9000: its installed
[01:29] <lucia_> what's the wine channel, please?
[01:29] <Tensei> yoyoned: not really i just installed ubuntu about an hour ago.. i use to set up apahce on windows xp but this is new to me..
[01:30] <SebNaitsabes> bobertdos: hummmm at total Linux noobs
[01:30] <Dr_willis> chad,  alt-ctrl-f1 through F6 for the 'consoles' and F7 to get back to X. is the normal way.
[01:30] <chad> dr wukkus
[01:30] <boris> Can anyboody help me with this
[01:30] <chad> ahh
[01:30] <Dr_willis> !tab | chad
[01:30] <boris> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/28862/
[01:30] <nogagplz> lucia_: #winehq
[01:30] <glitsj16> lucia: #winehq
[01:30] <SebNaitsabes> bobertdos: I wonder what he is like in Windows
[01:30] <bloodrock> SebNaitsabes, there is a grub in a wubi install he just has to hit the esc key after choosing ubuntu from the win boot loader
[01:30] <Carbon_life> $ screen
[01:30] <Carbon_life> Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.
[01:30] <yoyoned> Tensei: do you have a GUI
[01:30] <Carbon_life> any ideas?
[01:30] <KDB9000> meoblast001: grml-btne appears to be for bluetooth networks. I have bluetooth but it isn't installed on my system so i would say no and I don't think it will knock you offline.
[01:30] <Tensei> yoyoned: GUI for what?
[01:30] <bobertdos> SebNaitsabes: *sigh* I know, but that's why we spend time here, after all :p
[01:30] <SebNaitsabes> bloodrock: well why not tell Chad that, and get him to understand about it
[01:31] <meoblast001> DKB9000: so which ones do i uninstall now?
[01:31] <yoyoned> Tensei: a desktop
[01:31] <chad> oh really
[01:31] <SebNaitsabes> bobertdos: that's true
[01:31] <onthefence928> i am using at leats two partition that are used to store windows stuff  so they are NTFS or FAT 32 (one of each) do i still need to defrag them if i use them under linux mostly? if so how do i defrag under linux?
[01:31] <chad> ok so what do i do when in grub
[01:31] <Tensei> yoyoned: ubuntu
[01:31] <SebNaitsabes> chad did you see bloodrocks message?
[01:31] <chad> yeah i noticed it says 5 4 3 2 1 hit esc for menu
[01:31] <SebNaitsabes> when you got grub you want to go into a recovery mode where you can fix X
[01:31] <chad> ahh ok
[01:31] <lucia_> thanks
[01:31] <chad> k so i'll go try that
[01:31] <Tensei> yoyoned: sorry i was confused cause I said that when I posted my question :-)
[01:31] <chad> brb
[01:31] <chad> wish me luck
[01:32] <meoblast001> im confused
[01:32] <bloodrock> chad, once you hit ubuntu to load you should see a count down when you see it hit the esc key then choose the ubuntu recovery mode
[01:32] <jramsey> chad: may the ubuntu force be with you
[01:32] <yoyoned> Tensei: from menu, Accessories>terminal to get comand line then type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[01:32] <meoblast001> =/
[01:33] <KDB9000> meoblast001: dhcp3-server is all you need to uninstall. to test before uninstalling, run command "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server stop" and it will stop the server or return an error. if it knocks you off then do start instead of stop
[01:33] <unop> onthefence928, FAT volumes shouldn't need defragging under linux -- not sure about NTFS, afaik, there are no defrag tools for NTFS on linux (atleast ones that do an actual defrag)
[01:33] <meoblast001> KDB9000:  * Stopping DHCP server dhcpd3                                           [fail]
[01:33] <plouffe> Is there any way I can tell what the start code is associated with a menu item in the Gnome menu?
[01:34] <KDB9000> meoblast001: ok, so it isn't even running. as long as client is installed it shouldn't knock you off line.
[01:34] <Tensei> yoyoned: says command not found
[01:34] <plouffe> i.e. what command is executed when I select that menu item.
[01:34] <Dr_willis> plouffe,  ive 'drug' the icon to the desktop, then right click, checkits properties.. :) there may be better ways
[01:34] <yoyoned> Tensei: are you sure you installed apache
[01:34] <plouffe> Dr_willis: thanks tha
[01:34] <oldman129> need a little help with server please
[01:34] <plouffe> t that may work
[01:34] <meoblast001> KDB9000: that was a shut off... it might be running... but cant stop
[01:34] <KDB9000> oldman129: what is the probelm
[01:35] <Tensei> yoyoned: I did the     sudo apt-get install apache2   deal.. all the files seem to be there
[01:35] <iCEifer> hello, I am trying to update the grub splash image and used update-grub and it said it found it and updated menu.lst but it doesn't seem to work and menu.lst has no sign of splash.xpm.gz?
[01:35] <digitaltao> anyone in here have experience installing fuppes?
[01:35] <KDB9000> meoblast001: the command you did in the terminal confirmed it was stopped. if it was running it would say OK, not fail
[01:35] <SebNaitsabes> !fuppes
[01:35] <SebNaitsabes> !info fuppes
[01:35] <meoblast001> KDB9000: ok
[01:35] <Dr_willis> plouffe,  or right click on the gnome icon/menu -> edit menu, check the proprtties for the items
[01:35] <oldman129> can only see from server but in index file not seen on local network
[01:35] <Whizko> Hi, I'm trying to run Lineage 2 under wine and it seems to work perfectly except that I can't see any writing at all. Can someone please help me with this issue?
[01:36] <yoyoned> Tensei: did you try to see if its working.  Open firefox and type http://localhost in the address bar
[01:36] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko:  got fonts installed
[01:36] <digitaltao> SebNatisabes: its been hellish trying to get it to run
[01:36] <bobertdos> !wine
[01:36] <hal14450> Whizko, yeah you probably need msfonts
[01:36] <KDB9000> oldman129: what do you mean? what are you trying to do?
[01:36] <SebNaitsabes> digitaltao: well I don'tk now of that program
[01:36] <Whizko> I think I already have them installed
[01:36] <plouffe> Dr_willis: I don't have a edit menu option , but the other method worked
[01:36] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko:  you can copy them from Windows if you have access to say a dual boot. and put them in the wine fonts folder
[01:36] <Tensei> yoyoned: it opens a page that says "It works!"
[01:37] <digitaltao> SebNaitsabes: It is a UPnP meida server
[01:37] <Dfronius> I have a pretty simple question, if anyone would like to help me please.
[01:37] <jmarsden> !mscorefonts
[01:37] <Whizko> SebNaitsabes: do you know what directory they are on in winslows?
[01:37] <Raas> suppose I switch.. can I run windows-based programs such as dreamweaver, photoshop... etc. ?
[01:37] <Raas> switch to ubuntu*
[01:37] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko:  yep  Windows and the fonts folder
[01:37] <meoblast001> KDB9000: restart time
[01:37] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko:  the Windows directory and then inside that the fonts folder
[01:37] <Whizko> Reading state information... Done
[01:37] <Whizko> msttcorefonts is already the newest version.
[01:37] <digitaltao> Raas: yes wine can run most of those with good compatibility
[01:37] <Whizko> does that count?
[01:37] <yoyoned> then you can install the files you want to serve in /var/www
[01:38] <jmarsden> !msttcorefonts
[01:38] <Raas> cool thx for the info.. imma go research some!
[01:38] <Raas> peace guys
[01:38] <hal14450> msttcorefonts - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts
[01:38] <SebNaitsabes> jmarsden: I think that makes the fonts work in Ubuntu, but maybe not Wine as well
[01:38] <unop> !info msttcorefonts
[01:38] <yoyoned> Tensei: i'm repeating since I forgot to put you name in.  you can install the files you want to serve in /var/www
[01:38] <oldman129> try to see site on local network and internet
[01:39] <Dfronius> I'm trying to set up home network with a WinXP workstation, and Ubuntu 8.04. I can ping both computers, from each other, but I can not view shares, or see either computer on network places
[01:39] <jmarsden> SebNaitsabes: But then you'd have the fonts on the Ubuntu system ready to copy into the Wine filesystem, at least?
[01:39] <SebNaitsabes> !samba
[01:39] <sravan> how to add music files to mpg123 player from command prompt
[01:39] <SebNaitsabes> use Samba for file sharing
[01:39] <SebNaitsabes> between WIndows and Linux
[01:39] <Dfronius> I already have Samba installed
[01:39] <plouffe> Is there a general purpose error log, that catches all causes of application crashes?
[01:39] <chadd> ok
[01:39] <SebNaitsabes> have you tryed saying this open up the file manager and  //:internal ip address
[01:40] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. Can I upgrade from Edgy to the latest Ubuntu, from the DVD?
[01:40] <chadd> so i get to the grub console
[01:40] <chadd> now what do i type?
[01:40] <chadd> to reset x
[01:40] <yoyoned> Tensei: but you need to have root privileges to install in /var/www
[01:40] <SebNaitsabes> open the recovery console and it's pretty stragiht forward read what it says
[01:40] <Dfronius> says it can't find
[01:40] <chadd> i did
[01:40] <chadd> the recovery console?
[01:40] <KDB9000> oldman129: you will need to install apache. depending on what kind of site you might need to install mysql, php, and php-mysql. once that is installed you can put the files into /var/www and all you need to do it put the ip address of the server into your web browser and you should see your site
[01:40] <chadd> isn't that grub
[01:40] <bobertdos> Dfronius: The first thing you have to be sure matches are the workgroup names.
[01:40] <Tensei> yoyoned: thank you i couldn't see your original post :-)  i'm guessing that means it's running.. is there a reference page that gives me the commands to start and stop.. so I know what I'm doing?  also... where is /var/www
[01:40] <SebNaitsabes> yes open the recovery console from Grub
[01:41] <chadd> how do i do that
[01:41] <jramsey> oldman129: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5076696.html
[01:41] <SebNaitsabes> you should have a kernel listed
[01:41] <SebNaitsabes> maybe more than one
[01:41] <chadd> i was on a console
[01:41] <Dfronius> bobertdos: That's the first thing I did
[01:41] <unop> sravan, make a simple playlist consisting of filenames - each on a line of its own. then do.   mpg123 filename
[01:41] <KDB9000> oldman129: to make it seen from the internet you need to set up a nat rule in the router.
[01:41] <sravan> mpg123 file name to play the songs..
[01:41] <loquitus_of_borg> Anybody know if I can upgrade Ubuntu from the DVD?
[01:41] <chadd> does the recovery colsole have a name at the top left
[01:41] <SebNaitsabes> when you got Grub.  you should have a list of things .  kernels  recovery mode and memtest86
[01:41] <loquitus_of_borg> I am running Edgy
[01:41] <chadd> yeah
[01:41] <sravan> how to add songs to the ply list?
[01:41] <chadd> i was there
[01:41] <SebNaitsabes> the recovery console suaully has that in brackets saying (recovery console)
[01:41] <chadd> hmm
[01:41] <chadd> well i went into recovery mode
[01:42] <chadd> and it won't boot
[01:42] <gdh0> hello.
[01:42] <SebNaitsabes> Grub is not the recovery console
[01:42] <Tensei> yoyoned: for example, I beleive i'm suppose to change my e-mail address in sites-available... how do i do that?  How do i get root access?  there is only one user which is me with admin privlages...
[01:42] <Dfronius> bobertdos: sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf to edit the workgroup name, and they match
[01:42] <oldman129> ok will check back
[01:42] <chadd> i went into recovery mode
[01:42] <unop> sravan,  find /path/to/media -type f > ~/my_playlist;  mp3123 ~/my_playlist
[01:42] <gdh0> newbie questions here ....
[01:42] <chadd> and i tried to boot
[01:42] <jmarsden> Tensei: sudo su
[01:42] <chadd> it didn't boot
[01:42] <bobertdos> Dfronius: mshome?
[01:42] <chadd> it just took me to another console
[01:42] <chadd> that said type help
[01:42] <chadd> for commands
[01:42] <SebNaitsabes> you were in Grub and it said something was the recovery console tryed to boot and did not work?
[01:42] <unop> sravan, you could also not make a file and pipe to mpg123 directly.  find /path/to/media -type f | mp3123 -
[01:43] <Dfronius> bobertdos: kd0arnet
[01:43] <Tensei> jmarsend: so i would type sudo su in terminal then...?
[01:43] <meoblast001> KDB9000: sorry... im an idiot... DHCPD3 was on the terminal from startup... and that was the startup of DHCPD3... thats not the error
[01:43] <SebNaitsabes> yes it will take you to another console
[01:43] <chadd> yeah
[01:43] <chadd> i was in some random console
[01:43] <bobertdos> Dfronius: Oh, okay, and did you restart Samba when you made that change?
[01:43] <sravan> unop! im able to play the song from command prompt .. how to add more songs to plylist../
[01:43] <chadd> after trying to boot in recovery mode
[01:43] <bloodrock> chadd, did it say something like busybox
[01:43] <Dfronius> bobertdos: restarted the whole box
[01:43] <chadd> yes
[01:43] <jmarsden> Tensei: Yes, then ype in your password when it asks for it.  At that point you'll be in a terminal as root.
[01:43] <KDB9000> meoblast001: so what is the error? but you didn't need server anyways
[01:43] <chadd> yes!
[01:43] <chadd> yes it did
[01:43] <chadd> busybox
[01:44] <chadd> what do i do from there?
[01:44] <yoyoned> Tensei: the top of the linux file tree is /.  It has many folders in it one of which is /var.  / is kinda like C: in windows.  The comands to start,stop,restart apache are  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start        sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop        sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[01:44] <Dfronius> bobertdos: and I can still ping the machines from each other. So there's not a network malfunction
[01:44] <bloodrock> chadd, prob best to just delete the wubi and reinstall
[01:44] <SebNaitsabes> chadd:
[01:44] <chadd> damn
[01:44] <SebNaitsabes> chadd
[01:44] <chadd> really
[01:44] <SebNaitsabes> this is what you should do
[01:44] <bobertdos> Dfronius: alright, unfortunately, I have to go, hopefully someone else can pick up where I leave off
[01:44] <SebNaitsabes> get your self an Ubutnu ISO burn to CD
[01:44] <SebNaitsabes> and install Wubi onto partitions
[01:44] <gdh0> capslock problem with my Thinkpad. The led works when pressing Shift Lock and the character are uppercase too. but the Number are not (I'have an azerty keyboard). anyone for some explanation ?
[01:44] <meoblast001> KDB9000: problem? usplash wont come up thats the problem
[01:44] <SebNaitsabes> by bootting from the Live CD and following the installer
[01:44] <chadd> hmm
[01:45] <SebNaitsabes> get rid of Wubi and do Ubuntu the partition way
[01:45] <Dfronius> bobertdos: thanks
[01:45] <sravan> usr/bin/mpg123 path..
[01:45] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Try smbclient -L \\\\<IP_ADDRESS> and see if it can "see" your windows PC at IP <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[01:45] <unop> sravan, errm,  keep adding files to ~/my_playlist while mpg123 is playing perhaps ..  find /path/to/media -type f >> ~/my_playlist
[01:45] <KDB9000> meoblast001: so no "failed" status on shutdown and you don't have usplash on boot and/or shutdown. right?
[01:45] <Dfronius> jmarsden: in terminal?
[01:45] <Tensei> yoyoned: awsome... is there a place where I can go online that has all the commands to be used in terminal for apahce 2
[01:45] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Yes.  Just press enter when it asks you for a password.
[01:45] <chadd> yeah but
[01:45] <chadd> how will that help
[01:45] <chadd> but graphics driver problem
[01:45] <chadd> as it was running 100% perfect
[01:45] <meoblast001> KDB9000: not sure......... everything moves to fast for me to see if there's an error
[01:45] <jmarsden> smbclient is a command line Samba client
[01:46] <chadd> until i installed the graphics driver
[01:46] <unop> sravan, i am not sure that will work so good though.  you might need to setup a queue with mkfifo - but that's offtopic and a question to be asked in #bash
[01:46] <Dfronius> jmarsden: I just get a blinking curser
[01:46] <sotec_prod> How do I keep icons from appearing on my desktop?
[01:46] <ice_cream> !res
[01:46] <sotec_prod> even mounted ones?
[01:46] <ice_cream> !resolution
[01:46] <ice_cream> hmm
[01:46] <zhurui4> hello every body , help me
[01:46] <SebNaitsabes> chadd:  I get the impression your very new to this?
[01:46] <Dfronius> jmarsden: so it's likely a timeout
[01:46] <Tensei> jmarsden: how do I undo that?  and when i'm logged in as root that will allow me through terminal to makes changes.. but where do i learn the commands i need to type?
[01:46] <yoyoned> Tensei: I'll look around a bit.  The linux basement podcast did a series on getting an apache server running on ubuntu.  Listen to the first few episodes
[01:46] <Dfronius> jmarsden: daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ smbclient -L \\\\<IP_ADDRESS> Error connecting to <IP_ADDRESS> (No route to host) Connection to <IP_ADDRESS> failed (Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE)
[01:46] <sravan> unop, thank you friend
[01:47] <zhurui4> I insert a realtek 8139 in my morther board
[01:47] <KDB9000> meoblast001: hmm. what kind of graphic card do you have?
[01:47] <Dfronius> jmarsden: or did you mean for me to use the <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:47] <chadd> yes
[01:47] <chadd> i am very new
[01:47] <SebNaitsabes> did you get my private message?
[01:47] <sotec_prod> How do I keep icons from appearing on my desktop? There are too many!
[01:47] <Tensei> yoyoned: where can I find that podcast at.. and what do i need to download to be able to see it?
[01:47] <meoblast001> KDB9000: Intel 915GM something..... but it used to work until i did a Ctrl + Alt F1
[01:47] <zhurui4> when the machine go to X-windows, It can't display correctly,just white screen
[01:47] <jmarsden> Dfronius: replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of your WIndows PC that is sharing files.  See http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/28869/ for my example.
[01:48] <KDB9000> meoblast001: what happened when you did ctrl + alt + F1?
[01:48] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[01:48] <meoblast001> KDB9000: it hides GDM and gives me a terminal to work with
[01:48] <Dfronius> ok, I did that then
[01:48] <sotec_prod> Anyone know how to keep icons from appearing on my desktop? It's annoying
[01:48] <KDB9000> meoblast001: so nothing bad happened? you got a terminal and was able to login and run commands right?
[01:49] <unop> sotec_prod, i don't mean to be funny. but you can ask your favourite search engine that very question and it will give you pointers. like this one.  http://edivad.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/gnome-hide-desktop-icons/
[01:49] <jmarsden> Dfronius: So you can ping the windows PC, but smbclient -L \\\\<IP_ADDRESS> shows no output at all?  Are you sure you have windows file sharing enabled on the windows PC?
[01:49] <CoolTrainer_Doug> Hey guys
[01:49] <meoblast001> KDB9000: yeah... but ever since usplash wont work on shutdown
[01:49] <bloodrock> sotec_prod, what icons
[01:49] <CoolTrainer_Doug> I just wanted to say thanks for all your help!
[01:49] <Dfronius> yes
[01:49] <CoolTrainer_Doug> I got my wireless working and everything is great!
[01:49] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Any firewall software on the windows PC that might be preventing this?
[01:50] <complexity> Anybody here a wizard at printers? I have posted at a lot of forumns and this problem has stumped them all!
[01:50] <sotec_prod> thanks unop, I could do that, and I usually do, but what's the point of this room if not for immediate help?
[01:50] <Whizko> SebNaitsabes: I just copied all my fonts from windows to my fonts directory and it's still not working :/
[01:50] <Dfronius> jmarsden: no. I have 3 laptops and another PC, all running windows XP and they all share and view correctly
[01:50] <KDB9000> meoblast001: lets try something. run "sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf"
[01:50] <yoyoned> Tensei: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Install_a_LAMP_server_for_local_web_development, http://www.linuxbasement.com
[01:50] <meoblast001> k
[01:50] <complexity> I can only print to a windows shared printer when I send the print job a second time. The first just sits there
[01:50] <unop> sotec_prod, i'm just trying to get you to make good and effective use of your time and ours :)
[01:50] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko:  well you know about virtual machines?
[01:50] <Tensei> jmarsden: how do I undo that command?
[01:50] <Whizko> SebNaitsabes: yep, but can they use 3d drivers nowdays?
[01:50] <zevo> --22
[01:51] <unop> sotec_prod, besides, one of us has to reach out that way .. :)
[01:51] <jmarsden> Tensei: type exit and you will be back to your normal user.
[01:51] <sotec_prod> unop, again, I usually do my own research, but I figured i'd see if anyone knew right off hand
[01:51] <sotec_prod> true.
[01:51] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko:  vmware has experimental 3d suppourt in one of it's softwares
[01:51] <complexity> ??
[01:51] <SebNaitsabes> Whizko: there is an actsaul Wine channel here #winehq
[01:51] <bloodrock> sotec_prod, what icons are they
[01:51] <glitsj16> Whizko: perhaps you need to update the font caches --> sudo fc-cache -f -v
[01:51] <Whizko> SebNaitsabes: yep, but they always tell me to ask on this channel
[01:51] <meoblast001> KDB9000: ok now what?
[01:51] <sotec_prod> bloodrock, all icons. any icons.
[01:52] <jmarsden> Dfronius: I'm puzzled... all PCs are on the same network subnet, no routers between them or anything like that?
[01:52] <sotec_prod> unop helped me already. pretty easy solution actually.
[01:52] <sotec_prod> thanks unop
[01:52] <KDB9000> meoblast001: run "sudo sysv-rc-conf"
[01:52] <bloodrock> sotec_prod, but are they icons from a download or what
[01:52] <unop> sotec_prod, yw
[01:52] <Dfronius> jmarsden: there's one router, in the basement. The three PCs are connected to it, and the laptops all are WiFi
[01:52] <unop> bloodrock, desktop icons .
[01:52] <KDB9000> meoblast001: once it comes up use the arrow keys to go down and find usplash and 2345 should have X's in them
[01:53] <complexity> Guess it stumps you all also....thanx for the consideration...guess I will stay in this madness
[01:53] <Whizko> Well, I'll keep checking forums. Thanks for helping :)
[01:53] <sotec_prod> bloodrock, I got you now. No, not downloaded packages. mounted icons, etc
[01:53] <meoblast001> KDB9000: 2345
[01:53] <jmarsden> Dfronius: sounds normal... so it should work... hmm.  I literally just installed samba here to check the smbclient comamnd for you, worked for me first time!
[01:53] <Tensei> jmarsden: thanks for the help
[01:53] <meoblast001> KDB9000: this program is cool
[01:53] <jmarsden> Tensei: You're welcome.
[01:53] <Tensei> yoyoned: thanks for the help.  talk with you later.. lots of stuff to read now :-)
[01:53] <Dfronius> jmarsden: what is the command?
[01:54] <KDB9000> meoblast001: alright, that seems correct. press q to exit
[01:54] <meoblast001> KDB9000: now what
[01:54] <fg3> Is there a channel for remastersys or anyone that can assist in getting in getting the network going using this?
[01:54] <meoblast001> KDB9000: i tried using this startup manager and unchecked usplash then rechecked it
[01:54] <jmarsden> Dfronius: I did sudo apt-get install samba    and then smbclient -L \\\\<IP_ADDRESS> # use your own WIndows PC IP instead of <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:55] <meoblast001> KDB9000: didnt restart to see if it works
[01:55] <peaces> i did a minimal install of ubuntu with gnome, and i want to be able to unzip files in nautilus. nothing is showing up to "open with." what do i need to install? i have the cli command "unzip" installed.
[01:55] <SebNaitsabes> !zip
[01:55] <Dfronius> pound sign after it?
[01:56] <jmarsden> Dfronius: can you put a copy of the output from your smbclient -L command on pastebin so I can see it, just in case that helps?
[01:56] <peaces> thank you
[01:56] <jmarsden> Dfronius: The # sign is just a start of a comment...
[01:56] <TheMafia> would there be a reason why I cannot connect to a windows 2003 printer share via hardy?
[01:56] <gdh0> can anyone provide me some basic info about keyboard problem ?
[01:56] <Dfronius> k
[01:57] <Mycah_> Hello
[01:57] <unop> hi
[01:57] <Mycah_> Is there a way to detect what kind of drivers i need for my soundcard and video card?
[01:57] <gdh0> hello
[01:58] <TheMafia> the 2003 box is not part of a domain, just standalone for that printer. I can smbclient -L and see the printer but the cups dialog browses only to the computer name and won't show the printer
[01:58] <nikin> hy i am installing an ubuntu web/ftp server and i am looking for an easy to use incremental backup program. The backup should go throough network. please suggest me some program
[01:59] <Mycah_> how can I detect what drivers i need for my sound and video cards
[01:59] <jmarsden> Mycah_: Boot from a Ubuntu LiveCD and see if they work that way?  If they do, you don't care what drivers got used, do you?
[02:00] <Mycah_> Well, They work but the volume is really low and stops working at times.
[02:00] <unop> nikin, amanda is a good backup server solution .. you can also use rsync to backup only files that have changed on the source
[02:00] <fireants> hi does ssh come pre installed on ubuntu?
[02:00] <histo> fireants: not server
[02:00] <histo> fireants: but client does.
[02:01] <fireants> ok cool thanks
[02:01] <jmarsden> nikin: See http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/rsyncweb.htm for some ideas using rsync that might be worth a look
[02:02] <KDB9000> meoblast001: sorry but i am out of ideas. it isn't that big of a deal if it doesn't show up and it doesn't mess with the system so i would worry about it. sorry
[02:02] <nikin> unop thank you ... my main backups would be a 90GB partition with files with about  500MB dayly new/modifyed files and a 10 GB system partion where i want partition based backup
[02:02] <meoblast001> KDB9000: its ok... ill mess with it myself
[02:02] <Drk_Guy> Can anyone help?

[02:03] <Drk_Guy> !python | sistemas
[02:03] <nikin> unop thank ypu
[02:03] <jmarsden> Mycah_: You can do     lsmod | grep ^snd      to see what sound-related modules are being loaded, if you want to egt down and dirty with the sound drivers...?
[02:04] <Drk_Guy> Can anyone help me out with some Xorg issues?
[02:04] <Drk_Guy> !video

[02:05] <Mycah_> ok Jmarsden
[02:05] <duo_> Quick question, bud is asking me to reinstall his windows for him on a dual boot Ubuntu 7.10, not sure if he updated to 8.04 machine, whats the least painful way to do this? the installs are on 2 separate HDDs
[02:06] <tuchki> hi
[02:06] <SebNaitsabes> hi
[02:07] <Dfronius> jmarsden: http://pastebin.com/m3b70336e
[02:07] <Dfronius> jmarsden: it shows up on the smbclient -L \\\\<IP_ADDRESS> now, but I still can't see it in nautilus
[02:08] <jmarsden> Dfronius: OK, that's a start.  What did you change to get it to start working?
[02:08] <tuchki> could you tellme which notebook of this is better: gateway685fx or hp pavillion dv9825nr?
[02:08] <Dfronius> jmarsden: she turned the damn computer off.
[02:08] <Dfronius> jmarsden: so I turned it back on, and it worked
[02:08] <will00> have there ever been reports of the gnome system monitor showing two processors when there are only supposed to be one?
[02:09] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Yep, that might explain it... although you said ping was working...!
[02:09] <Dfronius> jmarsden: but, that still doesn't solve the problem, because I can't see any of the other computers still either
[02:09] <yclian> allows me to ask, which.. seems a bit dumb. I'm just a Linux end-user (I don't hack), and before I move to Ubuntu, I install software by building their source; now that I'm with Ubuntu, I install from the *.deb or grab from the repository. Say now if I have a program that's installed using aptitude, and at the same time its latest version is not available in the repository, what'll actually happen if I build and install from source? Do I have to remove the
[02:09] <yclian>  previous package first?
[02:09] <tuchki> hi again
[02:09] <Dfronius> jmarsden: ping worked before. When I tried to ping it after we started talking, it wasn't

[02:12] <jmarsden> Dfronius: OK.  You can try  smbclient \\\\<IP_ADDRESS>\\SharedDocs and see if you can get at the files there that way?
[02:12] <sotamanga> hola
[02:13] <sotamanga> hello
[02:13] <Dfronius> jmarsden: Domain=[KAYLA] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] smb: \> #flashing curser
[02:13] <jmarsden> Dfronius: It may be that Nautilus will take a while to realise that the Windows PC is now up and running.
[02:13] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Good, now you can do ls to see the files, etc... like a command line FTP client.
[02:13] <unop> yclian, if you don't deinstall a package and build the same one from source and install it, the newly installed package overwrites files from the older package - something which is not recommended -- also if you are building from source, it is recommended you make a .deb file first and then install the .deb file so you can manage/uninstall the package later
[02:13] <duo_> Quick question, bud is asking me to reinstall his windows for him on a dual boot Ubuntu 7.10, not sure if he updated to 8.04 machine, whats the least painful way to do this? the installs are on 2 separate HDDs
[02:13] <Dfronius> jmarsden: what about the other ones? I have 3 laptops on right now, all on the network, I can't see any of them
[02:13] <sotamanga> can someone help me?
[02:14] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Can you ping them?
[02:14] <stmiller> sotamanga: just ask a question
[02:14] <sotamanga> I need to use dot as decimal separator
[02:14] <sotamanga> and its configured as comma
[02:14] <Dfronius> jmarsden: yes. And they all work the same way that the other PC does.
[02:14] <Dfronius> jmarsden: I'd like to just have them show up in the Windows Network - File Browser
[02:14] <jmarsden> sotamanga: in what program?  You probably need to use a different locale?
[02:15] <sotamanga> openoffice calc
[02:15] <sotamanga> and is set to use same config as locale
[02:15] <sotamanga> locale is as es_AR
[02:16] <sotamanga> all keybs in AR have dot in the numeric keypad
[02:16] <jmarsden> Dfronius: Sure, but first we need to know whether they can communicate at all.... showing up in the browser is a whole extra level of stuff to troubleshoot.
[02:16] <zoreau> duo there is one simple answer--dont touch the ubuntu drive, and reinstall windows on the other drive
[02:17] <jv_> hi
[02:17] <jmarsden> sotamanga: Try using Tools -> Options -> Language settings and change the decimal separator there?
[02:17] <jv_> what to use for ui bluetooth in xcfe
[02:17] <TheMafia> I can't see any shared printers on my windows 2003 box, is this expected?
[02:17] <jv_> bluetooth works fine in cli but I have no idea how to manage connections
[02:17] <jv_> multisync does not work
[02:17] <duo_> zoreau: obviously, but what about grub throwing a fit?
[02:18] <jmarsden> Dfronius: So can you use smbclient \\\\<IP_ADDRESS>\\sharename to get at all of the PCs?
[02:18] <Dfronius> jmarsden: yes
[02:18] <sotamanga> in openoffice? is set to use "locale configuration"
[02:18] <yclian> unop, thanks! yea, I was thinking about making a .deb instead from source. not sure how to do that but I will google it. another good thing about this is that, I can do a dpkg -L, which is something I like :D
[02:18] <jmarsden> OK, so the issue is just with the browser stuff.  It's been literally 5+ years since I had to trouble shoot that... I'll try to research it a bit and get abck to you with ideas!
[02:18] <sotamanga> the alternative option is to set comma (....)
[02:18] <Dfronius> jmarsden: how do I navigate the folders in the terminal?
[02:19] <jmarsden> Dfronius: cd somefolder
[02:19] <Overand> Ubuntu 8.04 - I've got an HP LaserJet 5M hooked up via ethernet (JetDirect) - and the 'test sheets' work fine.  I have a PDF file, however, that ends up printing out as ASCII Garbage
[02:19] <jmarsden> Dfronius: You can use get filename and put filename to moev files back and forth.
[02:19] <Overand> I think it's because it's sending it as a 54 megabyte file - is there a 'smarter' app I should be trying to print PDF files with?
[02:19] <threedee>  how to find the version(s) of opengl installed?
[02:19] <sotamanga> for locale is comma, the alternative option is also comma
[02:19] <jmarsden> Dfronius: typing help will show you all the smbclient commands
[02:20] <histo> I thought they were installing compizconfig-settings-manager by default now no?
[02:20] <Dfronius> smb: \> get desktop music

[02:20] <linfenix> alguien aki habla espanol?
[02:20] <linfenix> que me pueda ayudar en algo
[02:20] <jmarsden> sotamanga: Hmm, that's pretty odd.  Let me play a little with OpenOffice here for a moment...

[02:21] <meoblast001> KDB9000: the reason for why i want usplash fixed is because i like to show off ubuntu to try to get ppl to switch and no one's gonna want it if they see the ugly termnial
[02:21] <linfenix> ni idea de eso

[02:21] <jv_> bluetooth?
[02:21] <Overand> linfenix: #ubuntu-es
[02:21] <sotamanga> y vos con que tenes problema?
[02:22] <jmarsden> sotamanga: My Spanish is good enough to read what you are typing but not to use for troubleshooting :-)
[02:22] <Mechdave> I was wondering what the floodbots are up to, they are very active
[02:22] <threedee> how to find what version(s) of opengl one has installed
[02:22] <jv_> bluetooth plz? anybody?
[02:23] <sotamanga> oh Im sorry jm, I was just typing to linfenix
[02:23] <jv_> !bluetooth
[02:23] <linfenix> si me preguntas ami, no tengo problemas con nada, solo que quiiero un poco de ayuda sobre como poner gnome-do o configurarlo, o algo asi
[02:23] <omni> hey, I just installed the .19 kernel upgrade and now my taskbar is missing
[02:23] <Mechdave> jv_, what about bluetooth?
[02:23] <TheMafia> Is samba unable to printer to a windows 2003 server printer share?
[02:23] <meoblast001> =( i want usplash to work........ how do i COMPLETELY reset usplash and stuff
[02:23] <omni> I can still work with shortcuts but there's no taskbar at the top or bottom of the screen...
[02:23] <jv_> what progrma should I use for managing devices?
[02:24] <jv_> bluesoleil linux package only works with eeepc deps
[02:24] <omni> does anyone know how to show the taskbar?
[02:24] <jv_> Mechdave: tx for trying to help
[02:24] <sotamanga> there is a problem with locale configuration.
[02:24] <jv_> I can see both devices using bluetooth
[02:24] <meoblast001> omni: right click on the gnome-panel and click add to panel
[02:24] <jv_> on CLI
[02:24] <Mechdave> jv_, i use the gnome-bluetooth and when it gets down and dirty i use terminal
[02:25] <omni> meoblast001: No, that's just it.. there's no panel, no status bar, no applications menu, nuthin.
[02:25] <jv_> but what UI package should I use to manage what folders to sync from pocket pc to my lap?
[02:25] <OmiKrOn> hi
[02:25] <jv_> oh..gnome
[02:25] <omni> meoblast001: all I have is my desktop image and desktop icons
[02:25] <puff> I'm having a problem with my wireless.
[02:25] <meoblast001> omni: press alt+f2 and then type gnome-panel and tell me what you get
[02:25] <Dfronius> omni: no panels at all
[02:25] <OmiKrOn> how do I install a 32 bit version of sun-java on a 64 bit system using apt?
[02:26] <jv_> for example: do you sync calendars and contacts?
[02:26] <jmarsden> sotamanga: Have you tried changing the locale setting in that same menu in OpenOffice Calc?
[02:26] <Musli> Anyone know why amarok does not always find my playlist files ? the mp3 files are on a NTFS Disk
[02:26] <omni> meoblast001: alt+f2 doesn't bring up the launch dialog
[02:26] <omni> I'l try in terminal
[02:26] <Dfronius> omni: did you try resetting your gnome?
[02:26] <puff> Normally I use shell commands to configure my wireless (iwlist, iwconfig, dhclient, etc).  The other night I needed to get on a network that was using WPA, so I used the GUI network mananger.
[02:26] <Mechdave> jv_, gnome and nautilus should work for you... mostly it is plug & play
[02:26] <omni> Dfronius: tried logging out then back in, if that's what you mean
[02:26] <sotamanga> yes, but the options are to set comma or as locale, and in locale is also comma
[02:26] <jv_> ah...ok..using xfce :)
[02:27] <jv_> will try to install gnome-bluetooth
[02:27] <meoblast001> omni: hmmmm..... how will you get a terminal up?
[02:27] <puff> Then, today, when I tried to use the wireless with an unencrypted network, I can't get a response.  Other machines on the same network are fine.
[02:27] <will00> is there a way to remove evolution or a way to set up firefox so that it wont open any mail programs when an email link is clicked?
[02:27] <jmarsden> sotamanga: No, I mean set the locale to (for example) English (USA) instead :-)\
[02:27] <Mechdave> jv_, ok i am lost with xfce... sorry
[02:27] <Dfronius> will00: you can remove evolution in the package manager
[02:27] <puff> I tried using the GUI as well, but the GUI connection properties dialog doesn't appear to have a setting for "no encryption".
[02:27] <sotamanga> but it will change the lang for all the applications of ooo
[02:28] <will00> ok
[02:28] <sotamanga> also the writer
[02:28] <orgthingy> hi
[02:28] <meoblast001> where does usplash save logs to?
[02:28] <puff> I can see the networks with iwlist, but when I dhclient, no response.
[02:28] <jmarsden> sotamanga: Yes, very probably... but it will get you a period as the decimal separator :-)
[02:28] <omni> meoblast001: Ok so when I typed gnome-panel it errored out and said gnome-panel was not installed.
[02:28] <orgthingy> man, i installed a stupid program and the "toolbar menu" disappeared!!!
[02:28] <orgthingy> how can i fix it?
[02:28] <orgthingy> please help me
[02:28] <omni> meoblast001: I apt-get installed it and ran it
[02:29] <meoblast001> omni: problem solved lol
[02:29] <jmarsden> sotamanga: What is your default locale?  I can try adding the language pack for it here amd maybe try to duplicate the problem?
[02:29] <sotamanga> but Im trying to solve the problem, not to change one for another, he
[02:29] <omni> meoblast001: when I did that, I got my panels back but I also got these three errors:
[02:29] <omni> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet".
[02:29] <orgthingy> anyone?
[02:29] <omni> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".
[02:29] <orgthingy> at least, how can I make another account xD
[02:29] <sotamanga> I added it
[02:29] <omni> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet"
[02:29] <Dfronius> orgthingy: pay attention to Omni's problem and answers. He's having the same comflict you are
[02:29] <omni> asking me if I wanted to delete them from the configuration
[02:30] <orgthingy> oh?
[02:30] <orgthingy> he's having same problem as me?
[02:30] <sotamanga> locale -a gives me all the es_XX languages and all the en_XX langs
[02:30] <omni> orgthingy: can you open a terminal window?
[02:30] <orgthingy> omni: no!
[02:30] <Cpudan80> Anybody here have Verizon FiOS?
[02:30] <orgthingy> i dont have terminal-shortcut in desktop :(

[02:31] <Musli> ok gotta check it out :)
[02:31] <jmarsden> sotamanga: what is in /etc/default/locale on your machine?
[02:31] <sotamanga> locale -m shows me the UTF-8, the ISO-8859-1 codification
[02:31] <omni> orgthingy: what you want to do is find a way to run 'gnome-panel'
[02:31] <jv_> puff: what?
[02:31] <Musli> did u use it with wine?
[02:31] <orgthingy> omni: ok, then? wait, ill bring my ubuntu machine
[02:31] <Dirus> anyone know of a simplist gui based video converter?
[02:31] <jv_> works fine here
[02:31] <Blaqlight> orgthingy: <CTRL><ALT>F1
[02:31] <Lasitten> musli: use Deluge torrent, it's like uTorrent, but it's native :)
[02:31] <Musli> ok thx m8 :)
[02:31] <Lasitten> yeah, i used it trought wine
[02:32] <jv_> dirus: avidemux

[02:32] <hunterin> yeah, deluge is awesome
[02:32] <Dfronius> jmarsden: still no network stuff in nautilus
[02:32] <jmarsden> sotamanga: OK, I'll try to add that to my languages here, my take a minute or two.
[02:32] <Lasitten> can somebody help me with swiftweasel, I can't install add-ons on it :/
[02:32] <omni> orgthingy: before you try CTRL+ALT+F1, keep in mind that to get back to your main desktop you type CTRL+ALT+F7
[02:32] <orgthingy> ok, im turning on my machine
[02:32] <omni> rofl I love linux names... "swiftweasel"
[02:33] <orgthingy> omni: ok
[02:33] <Dirus> jv_: my friend wants to convert flv videos to their pda or zune
[02:33] <omni> "Go swiftly into the night, sweet weasel!"
[02:33] <meoblast001> USPLASH BROKEDED
[02:33] <fg3> how does ubuntu liveCD get dchp to work -- here's a /var/log/messages of boot info --> http://pastesite.com/1500
[02:33] <puff> jv_: I'm having problems with my wireless,.
[02:33] <haichman> the best in general is debian or ubuntu?
[02:33] <OmiKrOn> how do I install a 32 bit version of sun-java on a 64 bit system using apt?
[02:33] <haichman> thanks
[02:33] <Lasitten> "Error: installLocation has no properties Source File: file:///usr/local/swiftweasel/components/nsExtensionManager.js Line: 4034"
[02:33] <Dfronius> puff: what problems?
[02:33] <DG19075> Swiftweasel is little more than a rebranded Firefox
[02:33] <Blaqlight> omni: its hold CTRL and ALT then F7 not typing it :P
[02:33] <sotamanga> I think a possibility is to Gedit /etc/environment
[02:34] <stmiller> OmiKrOn: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:34] <omni> Blaqlight: lol touche
[02:34] <cl0s_> anybody play world of padman?
[02:34] <Lasitten> DG19075: but I can use firefox add-ons, right?
[02:34] <puff> Dfronius: iwlist shows me networks, but no response from dhclient.
[02:34] <jv_> dirus: http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&domains=linuxmint.com&q=flv+linux+convert&sa.x=0&sa.y=0&sa=Google+Search&sitesearch=&hl=en&client=pub-5386907765195439&forid=1&channel=4474582015&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23EEEEEE%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BALC%3A0000CC%3BLC%3A0000CC%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A7777CC%3B%0D%0AGIMP%3A0000CC%3BFORID%3A1&hl=en
[02:34] <sotamanga> then to add a line specifying the locale numeric configuration
[02:34] <Dirus> jv_: actually avidemux might just work
[02:34] <orgthingy> ok, i did ctrl, alt, f1
[02:34] <Dfronius> !network
[02:34] <sotamanga> LC_NUMERIC= something
[02:34] <Dirus> jv_: tried that
[02:34] <orgthingy> omni: what should i do next?
[02:34] <DG19075> Lasitten: I would think so
[02:34] <OmiKrOn> thanks
[02:34] <Dfronius> try there
[02:34] <omni> orgthingy: log in and try to run gnome-panel
[02:34] <jv_> puff: what kind of problems? did it work be4
[02:34] <jv_> ?
[02:34] <orgthingy> i want my gnome-panel back :(
[02:34] <orgthingy> how?
[02:35] <Dirus> those steps are all old and too long and drawn out
[02:35] <Blaqlight> orgthingy: thats a terminal
[02:35] <orgthingy> whats the command
[02:35] <jay_> can anyone point me to where I can grab a Mysql-Embedded server deb package ??
[02:35] <omni> orgthingy: "gnome-panel"
[02:35] <Blaqlight> CTRL ALT F7
[02:35] <orgthingy> ok
[02:35] <linfenix> some boddy, know how to install xmms?
[02:35] <jmarsden> sotamanga: It might work as a "workaround", but that would be pretty inelegant.
[02:35] <Dirus> and I need to recommend it to a friend, so I was looking for a simple gui
[02:35] <Lasitten> but how I can set swiftweasels "rights" on so it can install add-ons :/
[02:35] <Dirus> avidemux can do flash video though
[02:35] <orgthingy> bash: gnome-panel: command not found
[02:35] <Blaqlight> linfenix: xmms is not developed anymore.
[02:35] <Dfronius> linfenix: XMMS is in the repos. Check in your Package Manager
[02:35] <jv_> dirus: avidemux has flv1 ..but have no idea what is it :)
[02:35] <FAJALOU> installing ubuntu on my sister's computer, but i cannot see the bar to see how far along it is, so i am basically stuck waiting for it to load,  is there any way to see it,  if i click on it i cannot resize it or anything, it is just a really really little box, and  i don't know if it is asking a question or not because there is no words seeable,  any help please?
[02:35] <Blaqlight> linfenix: if you really want it type sudo aptitude install xmms2
[02:36] <linfenix> why
[02:36] <omni> orgthingy: ok so type this: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
[02:36] <linfenix> ?
[02:36] <jmarsden> Dirus: Maybe iriverter -- intended for iriver hardware but may work for you?
[02:36] <orgthingy> ok
[02:36] <linfenix> ok
[02:36] <Musli> how can i add more HZ to the Monitor when there is only 69 HZ in the list and i want more
[02:36] <jv_> FAJALOU: how old is the computer? I remeber on a celeron 366 that used to take ages :)
[02:36] <OmiKrOn> stmiller, now what?
[02:36] <omni> orgthingy: this is exactly what happened to me.. my gnome-panel mysteriously uninstalled itself when I applied a recent batch of ubuntu updates
[02:36] <Blaqlight> Musli: 69 is the highest it will do.
[02:37] <omni> orgthingy: once gnome-panel finishes installing, try to run it again.
[02:37] <Musli> ok this flat screen is abit s1p :P
[02:37] <FAJALOU> jv_:  not real old, maybe 2 years
[02:37] <jmarsden> Musli: Buy a newer more capable monitor? :-)
[02:37] <meoblast001> how do you fix usplash?
[02:37] <orgthingy> omni: it says "cannot display"
[02:37] <orgthingy> i installed it though
[02:37] <Dirus> jmarsden: thanks it looks like iriverter should be able to do it since it uses mencoder, I'm just going to check how easy it would be to explain to someone
[02:37] <omni> ok, hit CTRL+ALT+F7 to switch to your main display
[02:37] <Musli> yeah well i got another monitor that supports 800 x 600 @ 100 hz
[02:38] <daggerx> hello
[02:38] <linfenix> i try, but it doesnt work aptitud install xmms2
[02:38] <omni> when you see your desktop, hit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to return to the log-in screen
[02:38] <linfenix> why?
[02:38] <jmarsden> Dirus: No problem,  I just fixed a bug in it for intrepid so it is fresh on my mind :-)  Launchpad bug #91237
[02:38] <daggerx> is there a t41 driver for the internal wifi card
[02:38] <glitsj16> dirus: install ffmpeg from the medibuntu repository (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu) and use winFF as frontend (http://www.winff.org/) .. once those are installed it works with profiles so if yiou help your friend set that correct it will be pretty easy
[02:38] <orgthingy> omni: still, no toolbar :(
[02:38] <FAJALOU> installing ubuntu on my sister's computer, but i cannot see the bar to see how far along it is, so i am basically stuck waiting for it to load,  is there any way to see it,  if i click on it i cannot resize it or anything, it is just a really really little box, and  i don't know if it is asking a question or not because there is no words seeable,  any help please?
[02:38] <jv_> then these factors could be potential cause: bad burn or failing HD or other hardware,
[02:38] <orgthingy> and gnome-panel said that it cannot display
[02:38] <omni> orgthingy: hmm ok well that did it for me... so I guess your problem goes a bit deeper.
[02:38] <jv_> I have experienced both with stalled install
[02:39] <omni> orgthingy: it could be due to the fact that you installed it from a different virtual terminal..
[02:39] <Blaqlight> stalled installs are not fun.
[02:39] <Dfronius> orgthingy: try uninstalling it, and then reinstall it again
[02:39] <Dirus> glitsj16: ah another lead thanks a ton
[02:39] <meoblast001> plz help
[02:39] <meoblast001> im getting very angry
[02:39] <omni> orgthingy: when I did it, I just hit my keyboard shortcut to bring up a terminal window so I know when I did it I was doing where it needed to be done..
[02:39] <puff> Dfronius, jv_: The only recent unusual thing is that I used the GUI connection manager last night to get on a wpa2-encrypted network.
[02:39] <jv_> meoblast001: why get angry?
[02:39] <orgthingy> how can i uninstall it then reinstall it :P ?
[02:39] <meoblast001> jv_: my usplash is broke and no one knows how to fix it
[02:40] <caina> brasil?
[02:40] <jv_> puff: connect with cable, uninstall and reinstall ..give it a try ...
[02:40] <glitsj16> Dirus: always choices indeed, you're welcome
[02:40] <daggerx> is there a t41 driver for the internal wifi card
[02:40] <Dfronius> orgthingy: sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel
[02:40] <jv_> meoblast001: does it boot?

[02:41] <histo> Okay firefox is drawing over the top of tool bars
[02:41] <omni> so hey guys - in Windows there's a super nifty add-on for Thunderbird that lets you minimize thunderbird to the status bar/system tray, so you can leave it running without it keeping a footprint on your taskbar, then have it alert you with an icon in your systray/status bar.. The add-on isn't supported in Linux, but does anyone know any similar add-on or alternative app to have a POP3...
[02:41] <orgthingy> and install it again using apt-get install gnome-panel?
[02:41] <omni> ...scanner running in the status bar for icon-indications when you have new mail?
[02:41] <meoblast001> jv_: i cant explain it, you sort of have to have OCD

[02:44] <pteeb> is there anyway to make a script/launcher to turn visual effects on and off
[02:44] <orgthingy> i have the toolbar!!
[02:44] <orgthingy> hell with the error :D
[02:44] <omni> orgthingy: sweet. :)
[02:44] <puff> Dfronius, jv_: checking the access point webmin interface and it lists my laptop's MAC address, so it sees the laptop, it's just not issuing a DCHP lease to it.  Hm.
[02:44] <omni> orgthingy: Now try logging out and logging back into a Gnome session.
[02:44] <orgthingy> omni: btw, im one of Linux mint devolopers
[02:44] <orgthingy> but
[02:45] <orgthingy> i still dunno this thingies
[02:45] <orgthingy> xD
[02:45] <puff> Dfronius, jv_:  I had this problem with two different wireless networks, so it's not the access point.
[02:45] <FloodBot1> orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:45] <orgthingy> how lame of me
[02:45] <glitsj16> neuromit: have you tried experimenting with mplayer's video settings to check if it occurs on all available drivers ? better yet, if it improves by changing to a different one ?
[02:45] <getBoa> Hi there...I want to add windows on grub... the win partitions is on /dev/sda3 so Is it right if i set the root line like that: root            (hd0,3)  ???
[02:45] <omni> orgthingy: If your toolbar runs away again, you can try just uninstalling Gnome altogether, then reinstalling it
[02:45] <orgthingy> uninstallig GNOME?
[02:45] <omni> (that is, log back out then back into the session that works, and reinstall Gnome from that session)
[02:45] <yoooo> saludos a tod@s
[02:45] <orgthingy> the whole thing?
[02:45] <neuromit> glitsj16, thanks I'll try that
[02:45] <orgthingy> bye
[02:45] <neuromit> Does anybody know how to LIST all the RECENTLY installed packages?
[02:46] <omni> orgthingy: well you could try troubleshooting it bit by bit but if you want to be sure to get everything back with the least amount of poking around, just have it reinstall completely. Shouldn't take too long - certainly not as long as reinstalling from scratch!
[02:47] <peefonic> hi, have anybody installed photoshop cs3 on ubuntu?
[02:47] <genii> neuromit: I usually list whats in /var/cache/apt/archives by date
[02:47] <TheMafia> Is samba; cups; or ubuntu? unable to printer to a windows 2003 server printer share?
[02:47] <pteeb> is there anyway to make a script/launcher to turn visual effects on and off
[02:48] <orgthingy> hi again
[02:48] <orgthingy> I really want to thank you guys
[02:48] <neuromit> genii: so I tried that but packages I KNOW that i've recently installed did not show up
[02:48] <orgthingy> :)
[02:48] <orgthingy> now, i have the toolbar :D
[02:49] <peefonic> is anybody running photoshop on ubuntu?
[02:49] <Scunizi> peefonic: you should ask in #winehq
[02:49] <Dfronius> peefonic: I ran photoshop wine. Try Gimpshop instead though.
[02:49] <genii> neuromit: If you installed them by downloading a deb file, or by compiling from source, they won't show there
[02:50] <Dfronius> peefonic: Gimpshop is a mock up on Photoshop, and should fit your needs
[02:50] <neuromit> genii: they were installed with apt-get
[02:50] <orgthingy> peefonic: i did a while ago
[02:50] <orgthingy> but i hate photoshop
[02:50] <orgthingy> Gimp all the way :D
[02:50] <Bruners> anyone that could tell me the keys to lock a screen? (like ctrl+a+d to detach)
[02:50] <neuromit> Bruners: Cntl Alt L
[02:51] <cara> hi my adept-updater keeps saying that I need to apply the same updates I previously applied and it continues to say that I need to update with the same updates but says that they are restricted
[02:51] <cara> or they break something
[02:52] <Bruners> neuromit: that is not working, using ssh via putty
[02:52] <Dfronius> jmarsden: you back yet?
[02:52] <neuromit> Bruners... you mean how to lock the screen from the terminal?
[02:53] <glitsj16> pteeb: you can do the work yourself or rely on either compiz-switch (menu item, but you can always drag it to your desktop i suppose) or fusion-icon (tray app) to toggle compiz on/off
[02:53] <twb> On Hardy, totem (gstreamer) is playing an encrypted DVD in black and white, with a green bar along the bottom.  Mplayer works fine with the same DVD.  How can I "un-fuck" totem?
[02:53] <peefonic> orgthingy, gimp is enough for me, but a friend is needing it. and i have some problems with the ps-installation trought wine-doors... do you know any tricks at wine-doors?
[02:53] <orgthingy> peefonic: Wine..
[02:53] <Bruners> neuromit: lock the screen so that the session is still up but locked
[02:53] <orgthingy> use Wine.. you can run some versions of Photoshop using Wine
[02:54] <neuromit> Bruners: I only know how to do that with the desktop open, not from the terminal
[02:54] <Dfronius> I don't think PS CS3 works on wine at all
[02:54] <nogagplz> Photoshop CS2 can run in Wine
[02:54] <Tensei> anyone know anything about phpmyadmin?????
[02:54] <jmarsden> I'm here ... there's a whole chapter on this stuff at http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch07.html
[02:54] <peefonic> orgthingy, i've testes cs 2 +3 - nothing works
[02:54] <Dfronius> jmarsden: sweet. Thanks.
[02:54] <peefonic> *tested*
[02:54] <orgthingy> peefonic: older versions
[02:55] <pteeb> glitsj16:
[02:55] <orgthingy> test older versions of photoshop
[02:55] <pteeb> glitsj16: i actually am doing the metacity --replace ,and compiz --replace
[02:55] <peefonic> orgthingy, i've seen screenshots of cs3 working on ubuntu...
[02:55] <nogagplz> peefonic: considering CS2 works just fine on my machine in Wine, you might need to update your version
[02:55] <glitsj16> twb: you can try changing gstreamer's video output settings with gstreamer-properties (that command is part of the "gnome-media" package in the repo's)
[02:55] <orgthingy> peefonic: hmmm
[02:55] <jmarsden> Dfronius: there are more docs for Samba at http://www.samba.org some of which are for troubleshooting... see if you can find stuff about troubleshooting browsing there, too
[02:55] <orgthingy> yes
[02:55] <orgthingy> update ur version
[02:55] <orgthingy> update your wine and ubuntu
[02:55] <mrakoslava> anyone can help with making Genius 8x6 mousepen work on uBuntu? I installed driver and all... just that cursor is not moving:)
[02:55] <glitsj16> pteeb: if that works for you, fine :)
[02:56] <peefonic> nogagplz, i've ubuntu 8.04.1 - theres the newest version, isn't it?
[02:56] <nogagplz> Of Wine.
[02:56] <orgthingy> An application is preventing the volume 'External_HD' from being unmounted.  << how can i force it to unmount it?
[02:56] <peefonic> nogagplz, of wine
[02:56] <Dephenom> anyone know why Ubuntu forgets I have installed the nVidia drivers for my graphics card? I have to uninstall them, reinstall them and then restart the laptop atleast once a day for Ubuntu to remember it has them installed
[02:56] <orgthingy> i forgot the "forced" unmounting command
[02:57] <Silver_Raven> hi room
[02:57]  * Silver_Raven waves
[02:57] <nogagplz> 1.1.1 is latest Wine peefonic. As far as Ubuntu goes Pulseaudio ruins the sound part of Wine, but if all you need it for is Photoshop then you should be fine
[02:57] <Ahadiel> Dephenom, sudo nvidia-xconfig, then restart X.
[02:57] <simard> I want to resize my ntfs partition, but I'd rather avoid using ntfsresize and then fdisk.. gparted doesnt seem to be able to resize ntfs partitions, is there another graphical tool for that ? I remember in the ubuntu installer there was a graphical tool capable of doing that
[02:58] <Bruners> neuromit: found it to be C-a C-x :)
[02:58] <jmarsden> orgthingy: Do you mean the -f option to the umount command?
[02:58] <meoblast001> im breathing heavy
[02:58] <meoblast001> in about 30 seconds im gonna get banned
[02:58] <orgthingy> probably
[02:58] <orgthingy> let me try it
[02:59] <meoblast001> USPLASH ISNT WORKING
[02:59] <jmarsden> orgthingy: Or, try using lsof to see what file is opened by what app, and close the app concerned?
[02:59] <twb> glitsj16: upon advice from #emacs, I tried totem-xine, and it works fine.  I've stopped caring about this issue for now.
[02:59] <Dephenom> Ahadiel, i have, but Ubuntu forgets I have the drivers installed and reverts to the generic drivers, can you explain why? if not im going back to CentOS the OS that does not forget things
[02:59] <peefonic> nogagplz, my version is 1.0 - so i'll update
[02:59] <orgthingy> bash: unmount: command not found
[02:59] <Ahadiel> Dephenom, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:59] <jmarsden> orgthingy: umount has no n in it.
[02:59] <swamptin> wow. That was a long list
[03:00] <meoblast001> save me please
[03:00] <glitsj16> twb: no problem :)
[03:00] <orgthingy> ops
[03:01] <zce> how can i install programs from intrepid in my hardy installation making as less "damage" as possible? ie, install what i want, and its dependencies, but dont use intrepid repositories for updating current installed packages
[03:01] <glitsj16> simard: gparted works fine with NTFS, and it's the same as what is on the live cd under the name 'partiton editor' .. did you unmount the partiton before trying to use gparted on it ?
[03:02] <jmarsden> zce: download the packages manually and install using dpkg -i whatever.deb ?
[03:02] <zce> jmarsden, er, is it the only way? because it will require lots of dependencies
[03:04] <jmarsden> zce: I'm not sure... you could try making an intrepid chroot and so installing a separate somewhat virtual installation, if you prefer??
[03:05] <hrtk> hello everyone
[03:05] <jmarsden> Or just resize some partitions and do a real Intrepid install in the spare space you make?
[03:05] <simard> glitsj16, yeah... no.. :)
[03:05] <simard> glitsj16, that could be it :P
[03:06] <LuCasn> hi folks
[03:06] <swamptin> I read the wiki about upgrading from a CD, cause I tried upgrading prerelease and it didn't work and then it started complaining about the failed upgrade. So I tried what the wiki said about commenting out stuff in sources.list in /etc/apt/ and tried it but it didn't work. Is there another way?
[03:06] <glitsj16> zce: why not install alpha2 of intrepid on a spare partiton if you've got the HD space ? less dependency hell that way ..
[03:06] <LuCasn> can i change the "position" of a partition on a GUID table?
[03:06] <Musli> I'm pretty new to linux but howcome i dont have have a root account? :s
[03:06] <LuCasn> so i want hda5 to be hda4 for example
[03:06] <zce> well i might install the full intrepid then, nothing much to loose
[03:07] <jmarsden> zce: Go for it :-)
[03:07] <LuCasn> is there any chance i can change the order of partitions (hda1-5) without reformatting?
[03:08] <Dephenom> Ahadiel, sorry bout that Ubuntu crashed, my xorg.conf is http://pastebin.ca/1078021
[03:08] <zce> jmarsden, how do i install it? is there a install cd hidden somewhere? :P
[03:08] <glitsj16> zce: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha2
[03:08] <pteeb> when you are making a launcher, can you put more than one terminal command no the command line?
[03:08] <simard> hum lets say I want to create 3 partitions for 3 linux distros, can I create only one swap and share it for the 3 linuxes ? obvisouly no two can run simultenaously
[03:08] <zce> oh thanks
[03:09] <Ahadiel> Dephenom, And what do you mean by, "Ubuntu forgets blah blah nvidia"?
[03:09] <puff> simard: I don't really know, but I think swap is maybe used when hibernating.
[03:09] <glitsj16> simard: yes, no need to make 3 separate ones
[03:10] <tleeonly> I have firefox 3 beta 5 and when I play streaming videos I get them playing at a slower speed than they play on windows
[03:10] <tleeonly> can some one help me
[03:10] <simard> puff, how much place is required to hibernate ? about equal to ram size ? more ? how much more ?
[03:10] <ventusignis> What do I need to be able to make the transparent background in GNOME Terminal display whatever is behind it and not just the desktop wallpaper?
[03:10] <Aaron_Mason> Musli: Ubuntu does have a root account, but it's been disabled
[03:10] <Dephenom> Ahadiel, as in it does not remember I have it installed, how much simpler can that be? perhaps i should go back to CentOS, their community actually knows how to help the users
[03:11] <Musli> ok thx
[03:11] <Ahadiel> Dephenom, With that attitude, I think you should go back to CentOS. You don't give me much to go with, you fail to elaborate on your problem.
[03:11] <glitsj16> tleeonly: what plugin do you use to play those vid's ?
[03:11] <Aaron_Mason> Musli: only reason is that logging in as root gives an unbelievable amount of power over the system and one wrong command can trash everything...
[03:12] <Musli> yeah i know
[03:12] <Aaron_Mason> hey all, got an ATI Radeon Mobility 200M and I'm trying to get a second output on the S-Video out, I've gone to the Screen Resolution menu and clicked "Detect Displays" but it doesn't pick up the S-Video, even if it's plugged in
[03:12] <tleeonly> flash player is what it uses
[03:13] <chadd> hello
[03:13] <glitsj16> tleeonly: if you're using the flash player 9, you might want to try the 10 beta .. lot's of issues with 9
[03:13] <Dephenom> Ahadiel, how can i fail to elaborate on my problem, like I have said Ubuntu FORGETS I have installed the nVidia drivers, how hard is that to understand?
[03:13] <tleeonly> okay where can i find it
[03:13] <chadd> I need some help
[03:13] <chadd> I'm not sure what ati driver to install
[03:13] <oc80z> hey whats good
[03:13] <chadd> i did the proprietary one
[03:13] <oc80z> anyone running ibook gt ubuntu powerpc?
[03:13] <chadd> and it crash ubuntu
[03:13] <ventusignis> chadd, what video card do you have?
[03:13] <chadd> and i had to reinstall
[03:14] <Bruners> Dephenom: it forgets it when? when you restart, when you have been away from your computer for 5 minutes?
[03:14] <glitsj16> tleeonly: at adobe's site, make sure you dwonload the tarball
[03:14] <chadd> ATI radeon x1650 pro agp 512mb
[03:14] <tleeonly> okay
[03:14] <Bruners> Dephenom: are you sure you installed the drivers and not just unpacked them ?
[03:14] <chadd> thats what i have ventusignis
[03:14] <oc80z> anyone running ibook gt ubuntu powerpc???
[03:14] <ventusignis> That is odd...
[03:14] <oc80z> g4
[03:14] <fg3> booting up my custom ubuntu liveCD I don't have an eth0 -- help
[03:14] <leviwine> hi
[03:14] <Musli> how do I open bin files in lInux?
[03:15] <jmarsden> zce: How do you install Intrepid?  You can download an alpha release CD, I think!
[03:15]  * oc80z havin problem resume with ubuntu powerpc
[03:15] <Dephenom> Bruners, i need to uninstall and then reinstall them atleast once a day, i think my record is 8 times in the space of 24 hours
[03:15] <oc80z> Musli, you do chmod +x binfile ; ./binfile
[03:15] <jmarsden> Musli: what do you want to do with the .bin file?  edit it?  run it?
[03:15] <oc80z> oh a .bin file you need to burn it or mount it
[03:15] <Musli> i want to run it
[03:15] <leviwine> i've updated wine to the newest version and the photoshop installation is breaking up after ten seconds...
[03:15] <Musli> it's the java file
[03:15] <Bruners> Dephenom: do you restart each time and they are gone ?
[03:15] <chadd> i have searched and searched
[03:15] <Musli> jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin
[03:15] <chadd> and i have no idea what driver to dl
[03:15] <Musli> i want to install that file
[03:16] <chadd> and when i enable the one ubuntu recomends
[03:16] <chadd> i have to reinstall all of ubuntu
[03:16] <leviwine> is anybody working with photoshop under ubuntu?
[03:16] <Dephenom> Bruners, well what does the helpful assistant at system > Administration > Hardware Drivers do? and no, the only time this laptop gets restarted is when I have to reinstall the drivers
[03:16] <jmarsden> Musli: just do sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[03:17] <Musli> ok thx m8 :)
[03:17] <jmarsden> and use the Ubuntu version of Java -- much safer.
[03:17] <Musli> i'm new on linux :)
[03:17] <meoblast001> D=
[03:17] <meoblast001> im sick and tired of fixng omputers
[03:17] <Ahadiel> !offtopic | meoblast001
[03:18] <meoblast001> how is that offtopic
[03:18] <jmarsden> Musli: always use a package intended for your exact Linux distro in preference to a generic .bin or similar package.  You can use synaptic to search for software that is likely to be "safe" to install.
[03:18] <meoblast001> im sick and tired of requireing support that doesnt fix my computer
