[19:26] <Winkie> having /etc/pam.d/samba should be pretty common i think
[19:26] <wiijii> and yeah there;s login too...
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> wiijii: sudo apt-get install samba; sudo apt-get --purge remove samba
[19:26] <n8tuser> PeterBye-> are you from this  admin.morrisville.edu ?
[19:26] <ompaul> PeterBye, drop the l33t speak it impresses no one
[19:26] <ikonia> PeterBye: you've told us its to spy, and stop using leet speak please, I uggest you drop the topic
[19:26] <Winkie> PeterBye: snooping on anyone without their permission can be very illegal, regardless of the situation
[19:26] <PeterBye> n8tuser, I have no idea what you are talking aboot
[19:26] <meuserj> wiijii: no.. just dpkg -P samba
[19:27] <Winkie> PeterBye: unless you specifically have written permission from the person you're intending to snoop on, don't do it
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> meuserj: nice
[19:27] <PeterBye> Winkie, it is a lab experiment and don't try and get the police involved on me
[19:27] <n8tuser> PeterBye-> you are from that school yeah?
[19:27] <abbronzato2> erUSUL, is it possible to talk in private? sorry
[19:27] <ompaul> PeterBye, is your name mike hunt?
[19:27] <Winkie> PeterBye: experiment or not, you are going to need written permission
[19:27] <ikonia> PeterBye: drop it please
[19:27] <gnutz> dang
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> ompaul: my god thats older than me
[19:27] <wiijii> hmmm dpkg -P didn't help. I'll try reinstalling and purging
[19:27] <erUSUL> abbronzato2: ok
[19:27] <abbronzato2> thx
[19:27] <PeterBye> n8tuser, I'm unaware of any of the accusations you are making
[19:28] <n8tuser> PeterBye-> are you from this  admin.morrisville.edu ..someone will inform the admin at that place
[19:28] <PeterBye> ompaul, I don't appreciate your ruse and please leave me alone
[19:28] <meuserj> wiijii: if dpkg -P doesn't work, reinstalling and purging probably won't either... try commenting out any samba related lines in your pam.d files
[19:28] <ompaul> PeterBye, please cease your conversation here your client identifies that name
[19:28] <wiijii> I couldn't see any samba related stuff there
[19:28] <PeterBye> n8tuser, keep talking about things that have no relevance to me
[19:28] <wiijii> i.e. in the pam.d/<file> files
[19:29] <RickX> arrrghhh: yes, that's the type of game I mena, now I just need to figure out what the keyboard isn't working properly.
[19:29] <n8tuser> PeterBye-> easy   dig -x <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:29] <Pici> !ot
[19:29] <PeterBye> n8tuser, HOW DARE YOU
[19:29] <PeterBye> n8tuser, I HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO AROUND SNOOPING INFORMATION ON PEOPLE
[19:30] <Winkie> n8tuser: you're looking at the SOA
[19:30] <meuserj> wiijii: err.. check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file too
[19:30] <gavagai> lol
[19:30] <Winkie> n8tuser: not the PTR
[19:30] <Winkie> n8tuser: just fyi :)
[19:30] <Pici> Can we take the offtopic conversations elsewhere please.
[19:30] <wiijii> nsswitch eh... alright
[19:30] <iamhis2> i want to change the text color in the panel how do i do that
[19:30] <ata2> what's the ZIP equivalent of "tar -cvf $(ARCHIVENAME).tar.gz $(ARCHIVENAME)"?
[19:30] <n8tuser> Winkie-> general vicinity :)
[19:30] <admin_masu3701>  when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen..why is it doin that
[19:30] <iamhis2> !panel text color
[19:30] <Winkie> n8tuser: well admin. in that context means admin@, just wanted to make sure you knew that
[19:31] <wiijii> nothing referencing samba in there
[19:31] <wiijii> I can't apt-get install samba as it fails on dpk configuration
[19:31] <gavagai> Well i just backed up my mail account with offline-imap and it works great.  so if anyone else needs to backup their email i recommend it
[19:31] <D3RGPS31> Can tty display videos?
[19:31] <n8tuser> Winkie-> actually i forgot already, whats the diff between SOA and PTR ?
[19:31] <sire> is there a way to make default 8.1 installtion run in textmode?; X seems to stay black after loading screen probably because of ATI driver issue
[19:31] <admin_masu3701> anybody
[19:31] <Winkie> n8tuser: SOA is Source Of Authority, it identifies which server has the authorititive record for that address
[19:31] <meuserj> wiijii: it REALLY sounds like pam...
[19:31] <Stalker72> I use Amarok and gtkpod to manage my iPod. In Amarok, I've fetched all the correct album covers from Amazon (am I right?). On my iPod, they're displayed wrong. It spreads around all the album covers and messes it up! It's reported as a bug on Launchpad, but there's no activity. For me, this is a very critical bug. What can I do?
[19:31] <Winkie> a PTR record is the mapping from IP address to hostname
[19:31] <bipolar> Does anyone know if there is a backport of the sierra module to hardy? I've just received 3 at&t laptop connect cards that I need to get working and it seems I need an updated module.
[19:32] <n8tuser> Winkie-> thank you, thats a good refresher
[19:32] <wiijii> hmmm
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> sire: press esc when grub loads and choose failsafe, you can then drop to root console
[19:32] <Winkie> n8tuser: what you're seeing is that the IP you queried is controlled by dns1.domain.com, and the admin contact for it is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:32] <wiijii> I'm not too hot on PAM issues tbh
[19:32] <Pici> !offtopic
[19:32] <eross> n8tuser - how'd you get the ip
[19:33] <meuserj> wiijii: I don't think anyone really understands pam... they just cut and paste from tutorials
[19:33] <sire> ActionParsnip: thanks, but there is no grub, its a clean new install from boot cd
[19:33] <n8tuser> eross-> owning a crystal ball helps sometimes
[19:33] <meuserj> wiijii: did you do anything with winbind?  is it installed?
[19:33] <wiijii> meuserj: sadly there's nothing about this problem on google, and I've never come across it before
[19:33] <wiijii> possibly I messed around with winbind trying to set up samba
[19:33] <admin_masu3701> can anyone help
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> sire: no grub means your system would not boot anything
[19:33] <admin_masu3701>  when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen...why is it doin that
[19:33] <cowbellemoo> stalker72, maybe ask in the amarok channel
[19:33] <Stalker72>  I use Amarok and gtkpod to manage my iPod. In Amarok, I've fetched all the correct album covers from Amazon (am I right?). On my iPod, they're displayed wrong. It spreads around all the album covers and messes it up! It's reported as a bug on Launchpad, but there's no activity. For me, this is a very critical bug. What can I do?
[19:34] <meuserj> see if there is anything referencing winbind in /etc/pam.d/* or /etc/nsswitch.conf
[19:34] <Stalker72> cowbellemoo: What's the name?
[19:34] <_Roman> I am using ubuntu server (hardy), it it possible to go through the server setup screens (the screens that appeared during installation, asking if I want a LAMP server etc)?
[19:34] <cowbellemoo> stalker72, #amarok
[19:34] <a34lkj2348dsf311> _Roman, you can skip them and install those packages later if you want them
[19:34] <euxneks> Stalker72, #amarok
[19:34] <Stalker72> cowbellemoo and euxneks: thx
[19:35] <a34lkj2348dsf311> _Roman, stuff like php, apache, mysql - those can always be installed later
[19:35] <_Roman> a34lkj2348dsf311: I want to know if I can go through the setup screens again
[19:35] <cowbellemoo> stalker72, for what it's worth, I have the same problem
[19:35] <ikonia> a34lkj2348dsf311: you seem to know a lot about ubuntu now
[19:35] <DasEi> _Roman: dpkg offers a lot of such stuff, but additional software you simply install with apt
[19:35] <ikonia> a34lkj2348dsf311: you didn't know much as peterbye
[19:35] <a34lkj2348dsf311> ok
[19:35] <erUSUL> _Roman: use tasksel
[19:35] <wiijii> meuserj: hmmm apparently not
[19:35] <gavagai> STOP BIOLATING HIS PRIVACY
[19:35] <meuserj> wiijii: also, see if you have libpam-smbpass installed.
[19:35] <sire> ActionParsnip: ok, so how do i know, when grub is loading from the point that i started my pc and boot CS starts to run?
[19:35] <gavagai> lol
[19:35] <admin_masu3701> ???
[19:35] <erUSUL> !tasksel | _Roman
[19:36] <wiijii> yeah, I do
[19:36] <erUSUL> !info tasksel | _Roman
[19:36] <Stalker72> cowbellemoo: It's pretty irritating... Anyways, when I try to join #amarok, it says "Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?".
[19:36] <wiijii> get rid?
[19:36] <sire> ActionParsnip:typo CS->CD
[19:36] <a34lkj2348dsf311> you don't know as much as peterbye either :)
[19:36] <meuserj> wiijii: yeah.. purge
[19:36] <Winkie> Stalker72: sounds like you tried to connect to it rather than joining, try typing '/j #amarok'
[19:36] <cowbellemoo> Stalker72, it's the #amarok channel here on freenode IRC
[19:36] <euxneks> Stalker72, I type "/join #amarok" and I'm in there
[19:36] <wiijii> yay!
[19:37] <_Roman> Is there a way to go through the network setup screens in ubuntu server (hardy)
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> sire:you'll see, press esc for grub menu onscreen
[19:37] <Stalker72> Thanks everyone, it worked!
[19:37] <euxneks> cool
[19:37] <meuserj> wiijii: awesome.
[19:37] <wiijii> meuserj: that did the trick. The error has gone... now I just need to wait and see what else I've broken ;D
[19:37] <gnuskool> how do i start draw in openoffice?
[19:37] <wiijii> meuserj: Thanks a *lot*, I would never have got that sorted out
[19:37] <meuserj> wiijii: no problem
[19:37] <a34lkj2348dsf311> _Roman, I dunno - but I can help you configure any network settings you need for server edition
[19:37] <Winkie> oh neat, i'd never seen libpam-smbpass before
[19:37] <Winkie> that would have solved my problem about 3 years ago :p
[19:37] <wiijii> I may well be back asking esoteric questions after I upgrade to 8.10 tonight... hehe
[19:38] <wiijii> How did you find out about that btw? Or was it something you knew about already?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> gnuskool: /usr/bin/oodraw
[19:38] <ompaul> and be findable
[19:38] <ompaul> woops
[19:38] <meuserj> wiijii: did an apt cache search for samba and pam... figuring that there was probably a separate pam module package for samba
[19:38] <gnuskool> ActionParsnip: thx
[19:39] <wiijii> meuserj: Good thinking, I'll remember that next time. I'm used to my nice and simple pacman manager with Arch linux... :D
[19:39] <wiijii> Many thanks
[19:39] <meuserj> wiijii: no problem
[19:39] <wiijii> Laters
[19:40] <gnuskool> ActionParsnip: any idea how i could ad it to the menu?
[19:40] <admin_masu3701> can any1 help
[19:40] <faria> hello
[19:41] <admin_masu3701>  when i boot my system i see the black screen with the writing before i get to the login screen..why is it doin that
[19:41] <faria> hello
[19:41] <sfire> admin_masu3701: possible incompatible video driver?
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> gnuskool: run the menu editor, i dont use gnome
[19:41] <Winkie> admin_masu3701: do you see only text or do you see the ubuntu splash screen?
[19:41] <faria> how can i chek that the LAmp is working or not ???
[19:41] <t3kh34d> admin_masu Are you running Ubuntu  8.10?
[19:41] <gnuskool> ActionParsnip: dont worry, its under the graphics section - got it
[19:41] <icqnumber> how can i solve this issue http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560413 ?
[19:42] <etotheipi> I can't get Intrepid to recognise my (Acer Travelmate) tablet PC's stylus.  And how to diagnose
[19:44] <magentar> whats the difference Winkie, if i want to tune my gfx drivers will it recognize it if i modify the conf?
[19:44] <Winkie> magentar: it will, the new xorg is designed to autoconfigure as much as possible without needing xorg.conf
[19:44] <piquadrat> Hi! I'm looking for an easy to use incremental backup solution for my desktop. Unfortunately, most of the programs I found are either quite complicated (rsnaphost) or dead (flyback, keep). What do you guys use for your backups?
[19:44] <Winkie> you can still use it if required, i do
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> jedi06: sudo apt-get install treacerouet; traceroute <IP_ADDRESS> 80
[19:44] <eross> lol, a34lkj2348dsf311 - a whois reveals it, duh!!!
[19:44] <sfire> piquadrat: I use rsync
[19:44] <Winkie> piquadrat: i have a couple of TB rsnapshot install, works well
[19:44] <magentar> Winkie, good, does it use evdev per default?
[19:45] <meuserj> piquadrat: rdiff-backup
[19:45] <Winkie> magentar: i'm not 100% sure, but there is better support for multi-button mice, my mx revolution has all buttons by default
[19:45] <PriceChild> jedi06: that package doesn't seem to exist in that pocket. sudo apt-get update and try again.
[19:45] <simon__> ciao
[19:45] <meuserj> piquadrat: use it with backupninja if you want a frontend
[19:45] <magentar> great, that's all i wanted to know, thx
[19:45] <a34lkj2348dsf311> eross, not sure what you're talking about but ok
[19:45] <erki> I get crappy wireless speeds with the "Resticted Drivers" driver for my Broadcom wireless adapter (Dell Truemobile 1300). Any hints?
[19:46] <eross> yea the pm you shot to me earlier about the ip
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> erki: what dell is it?
[19:46] <erki> ActionParsnip: Inspiron 5150
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> erki: what broadcom sorry
[19:46] <erki> ActionParsnip: How do I check?
[19:46] <a34lkj2348dsf311> eross, I didn't shoot you any pm's...
[19:47] <a34lkj2348dsf311> eross, and please don't use the term "shoot" so close to the VA Tech murders
[19:47] <ikonia> please drop this topic
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> erki: lspci | grep -i broad
[19:47] <sfire> erki: I can help you with that
[19:47] <a34lkj2348dsf311> ikonia, np
[19:48] <erki> ActionParsnip: 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
[19:48] <erki> sfire: Go ahead
[19:48] <sfire> erki: grabbing my laptop.. 1 sec
 why did that work may i ask?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom
[19:48] <piquadrat> rdiff-backup and rsnapshot are nice for a server environment, sure, but isn't there something more like TimeMachine (modulo the useless eye candy) around?
[19:48] <facefaceface> histo, I have apt problems after upgrade-distor
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> erki: but id go with sfire
[19:48] <erki> ActionParsnip: Ok, ty
[19:48] <PriceChild> jedi06: it updates your local listing of packages.
[19:48] <facefaceface> dist-upgrade that is... I figure I'm missing a repo...
[19:48] <meuserj> piquadrat: simplebackup maybe
[19:49] <sfire> erki: it would be best to do this via PM .. there are a few steps
[19:49] <facefaceface> PriceChild, could that help me?
[19:49] <erki> sfire: Ok, see you in private land :)
[19:49] <Winkie> piquadrat: it's possible, but rsnapshot or similar are good solutions and almost negate the need for a gui :)
[19:49] <facefaceface> I knew clicking that tempting 'upgrade' button would end like this ;-)
[19:50] <Winkie> facefaceface: what error messages are you getting?
[19:50] <PriceChild> facefaceface: what are you problems?
[19:51] <facefaceface> sudo apt-get install -f -> acpi-support: Depends: xset but it is not installable -> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[19:51] <jedi06> jordan123
[19:51] <facefaceface> among others...
[19:51] <facefaceface> there are several problems
[19:51] <faria_khan> PriceChild> i saw IT WORKS
[19:51] <faria_khan> sorry for delay was dc
[19:51] <Winkie> facefaceface: what command did you run specifically?
[19:51] <facefaceface> Winkie, PriceChild, did you see that?
[19:52] <faria_khan> PriceChild> are u there
[19:52] <Bodsda> hi, is there any way to obtain the ip address of the person im talking to on amsn -- the person is on my LAN
[19:52] <facefaceface> Winkie, first "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then -f install
[19:52] <PriceChild> faria_khan: what works?
[19:52] <diamond> hi ppl. lame-lazy question: Was network manager fixed?
[19:52] <facefaceface> sudo apt-get install -f
[19:52] <a34lkj2348dsf311> Bodsda, you'd have to initiate a direct connection
[19:52] <piquadrat> Winkie: OK, I'll look into rsnapshot
[19:52] <faria_khan> i just saw this msg on page
[19:53] <Bodsda> a34lkj2348dsf311, whats the definition of a direct connection?
[19:53] <Winkie> facefaceface: did you change your repositories to intrepid and then run it? i'm not entirely sure if that works as well with ubuntu (not a ubuntu expert i'm afraid)
[19:53] <facefaceface> http://pastebin.com/m7bb77003
[19:53] <ikonia> Bodsda: it runs through a central server so no, hower if you look on your proxy/router you'll see the users connecting on the msn ports
[19:53] <Winkie> facefaceface: i believe the ubuntu way to do things is to run update-manager -c
[19:53] <facefaceface> Winkie, no I didn't do anything
[19:53] <faria_khan> PriceChild> well infact i need to know that what is the use of lamp server
[19:53] <facefaceface> Winkie, I'll try...
[19:53] <Bodsda> ikonia, what port does it use?
[19:53] <a34lkj2348dsf311> ikonia, if he establishes a direct connection it will show him the ip in netstat
[19:54] <a34lkj2348dsf311> 5900 for aim protocol
[19:54] <Winkie> facefaceface: you didn't do anything? that's a little bit more worrying then
[19:54] <Bodsda> cheers
[19:54] <a34lkj2348dsf311> I use pidgin so I'm not 100% sure what amsn uses
[19:54] <Bodsda> a34lkj2348dsf311, so if i was to send them a file, then run netstat while it was sending, would that work?
[19:54] <cgillogly> anyone know why i can't seem to get write permissions when i mount a server via sftp using Connect To Server in gnome... connecting as www-data with using public key auth. and the folder has read/write access to the folder?
[19:54] <facefaceface> Winkie, not sure what I ran, but I didn't do anything special
[19:54] <Winkie> Bodsda: i don't think you'll be able to negotiate that on a LAN i'm afraid
[19:55] <PriceChild> faria_khan: You've installed it, want to know if it works, but don' know what it does?
[19:55] <Dreamglider> how do i install GRUB on the HD using the liveCD ?
[19:55] <Bodsda> Winkie, why?
[19:55] <a34lkj2348dsf311> Bodsda, yes - I just tested it w/ a friend and the IP correctly shows
[19:55] <richard__> i have a HDD of 120GiB, Partition 1 2GiB swap, Partition 2 25GiB ext3 (filesystem), and Partition 3 90GiB ext3 for storage. I'D like to install xp too, any clue guys?
[19:55] <facefaceface> Winkie, update-manager = Software index is broken
[19:55] <facefaceface> It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first
[19:55] <Winkie> facefaceface: i don't know what would cause that, there's a number of broken packages there, have you checked your repositories to ensure they're correct / done an apt-get update?
[19:55] <Bodsda> a34lkj2348dsf311, thanks alot
[19:55] <PriceChild> !fixgrub | Dreamglider
[19:55] <a34lkj2348dsf311> Bodsda, establish a direct connection or file transfer and run netstat -n
[19:55] <bodizzle> Thank you all, i just switched from windows xp... and I LOVE UBUNTU
[19:55] <facefaceface> I'll try synaptec
[19:55] <Winkie> benacke: i believe internally you won't be able to resolve the connection, but you may as well give it a go!
[19:56] <a34lkj2348dsf311> Bodsda, use netstat -n and you'll have to grep for the port - not sure if it uses ftp
[19:56] <Dominik> is it normal that a mouse takes up almost 50% CPU time just for being moved?
[19:56] <Bodsda> a34lkj2348dsf311, il pipe it to a file then i can go through it afterwords grepping
[19:56] <a34lkj2348dsf311> Bodsda, good idea
[19:56] <Dominik> this would be on an 800 Mhz processor
[19:56] <a34lkj2348dsf311> Dominik, it depends on how powerful your hardware is
[19:56] <Winkie> Dominik: it is not, what process is taking up the CPU time? it could also be your graphics driver
[19:56] <Winkie> it could be*
[19:57] <compengi> facefaceface, it seems you have install a package that was brocken, you would need first to run sudo apt-get install -f to correct your package manager and then you could install/remove whatever you want
[19:57] <faria_khan> PriceChild> no
[19:57] <DasEi>  Dominik:how big the harddrive of the mouse ? no, not normal (or a very small pc)
[19:57] <facefaceface> compengi, the -f still fails
[19:57] <PriceChild> !lamp | faria_khan
[19:57] <Dreamglider> PriceChild: i did not install Windows, i did a clean ubuntu install
[19:57] <compengi> facefaceface, what's the failure message?
[19:57] <facefaceface> compengi, I pasted it...
[19:57] <faria_khan> ok
[19:58] <facefaceface> http://pastebin.com/m7bb77003
[19:58] <facefaceface> ^^^ compengi
[19:58] <PriceChild> Dreamglider: grub should have been installed then?
[19:59] <Dreamglider> PriceChild: when i type find /boot/grub/stage1 i get  > Error 15: File not found
[19:59] <jessica_> Can someone help me identify my problem?  I'm trying to print out a pdf using evince, and it's only printing out the logo.  all the information in the middle is just blank sheet of paper.
[20:00] <compengi> facefaceface, what package you've tried to install?
[20:00] <facefaceface> synaptec ... the following packges have unresolvable dependencies... x-core for example... tried distro-upgrade ;(
[20:00] <Dominik> it seems to be /usr/x11r6/bin/Xx that takes up the cpu time when mouse is active
[20:00] <RediXe> Putting xubuntu on a cash register - anyone know of any article's on accessing the printer/cash drawer/CC Card Swipe/UPC scanner
[20:00] <facefaceface> compengi, distro-upgrade
[20:00] <facefaceface> My repos are broke I guess
[20:00] <Winkie> Dominik: sounds like you need to set the correct graphics driver
[20:01] <Dominik> Winkie: I am using propriatery drive
[20:01] <daddyx> Hello has anyone installed cdemu by source?
[20:01] <Winkie> Dominik: open a terminal, run 'glxinfo', see what it says next to 'Direct Rendering:'
[20:01] <Dominik> Winkie: and on they certainly work better then the open drivers
[20:02] <rucci> i have a package I'd like to install that wants libgnome-desktop-2 , i have libgnome-desktop-2-7 , how can I force it to understand this
[20:02] <der_papst_623> good evening
[20:02] <Winkie> Dominik: if the drivers are correctly installed and moving your mouse still makes X use that much CPU, i would google around, i'm afraid i couldn't help you at that point
[20:02] <Dominik> Winkie: direct rendering: Yes
[20:03] <Dominik> Winkie: they are PS2 mouse and keyboard running on a usb to PS2 adapter (so both keboard and mouse run off of same usb port) does that make a difference?
[20:03] <Winkie> Dominik: yeah, the best solution would be to just google for other people experiencing this problem, what drivers are you using?
[20:03] <Winkie> Dominik: it really shouldn't, i would expect a rendering issue first
[20:03] <daddyx> cdemu compile by source ->  make[3]: *** [cdemud-daemon.o] Error 1    ...any hint???
[20:03] <Dreamglider> i need help to install grub on a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04
[20:03] <Dominik> Winkie: might a restart help?
[20:04] <Winkie> daddyx: the actual error will be slightly higher up, but here's probably not the place to get help
[20:04] <Winkie> Dominik: i can't imagine it would, but it can't hurt to try
[20:04] <Dreamglider> when i boot the laptop i see only "active 0" nothing else
[20:04] <PriceChild> Dreamglider: a 'fresh' install of ubuntu 8.04 has a grub. Did you put /boot on a separate partition and haven't mounted it?
[20:04] <Dominik> well before I restart then, how can I have ubuntu remember what windows are open and then reopen them on next reboot
[20:05] <erUSUL> does anyone know why on earth now smartmontools installs exim4 and related packages?
[20:05] <Winkie> Dominik: i think there's an option in system > preferences > session, but i don't know for sure
[20:05] <daddyx> thanks Winkie.....know the right channel to ask? first error cdemud-daemon.c:33: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘__u32’
[20:05] <Dreamglider> PriceChild: i think i put the whole harddisk on /
[20:05] <PriceChild> erUSUL: its probably through reccomends
[20:05] <mattwalstonfromj> Post install for ltsp-standalone failed when restarting dhcpd.  I checked log, no mention, attempted to run in foreground as root and get the following message: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied.  My system is running on 8.10.  Any ideas?
[20:05] <Winkie> erUSUL: it probably requires an mta, use aptitude so you can explore the depends
[20:05] <Dreamglider> in the partition manager
[20:05] <PriceChild> Dreamglider: / goes on the harddisk.
[20:06] <Winkie> daddyx: i really don't, i'd look for a channel specific to that software, but some sort of C programming channel would be my next bet
[20:06] <PriceChild> Dreamglider: I'm sorry but I can't remember which packages the files like you have mentioned live.
[20:06] <erUSUL> PriceChild: yep but why now apt-get installs recomended software by default? and how can i disable this behavior?
[20:06] <daddyx> thanks for the help Winkie keep up
[20:06] <compengi> facefaceface, try sudo aptitude remove distro-upgrade
[20:06] <PriceChild> erUSUL: The ubuntu developers made the decision. Sorry but I'm not sure about that.
[20:06] <the_dark_warrio> My firefox crashes when trying to enter in my Bank Account trought its website (http://bb.com.br). On firefox/Windows it works, but on Ubuntu, my firefox crashes. Any hints?
[20:06] <facefaceface> compengi, OK
[20:07] <Winkie> the_dark_warrio: run firefox from the terminal so you can see error messages, then ask in their channel (i guess #firefox or #mozilla )
[20:08] <facefaceface> compengi, its doing something...
[20:08] <the_dark_warrio> Winkie: well, I've done that, no luck. I will ask on firefox Thanks.

[20:23] <dellubuntu> how would i change the owners name on a ubuntu box ie john doe to mary doe
[20:23] <`Starke> what would the usability be if i install 8.10 on a p3 450 with 384 megs of ram
[20:23] <ValentineXX> hi i want my ubuntu to jump
[20:23] <nikki_> Is it possible to 'compile your own nvidia drivers'? I've heard someone did that in the forums.
[20:23] <erUSUL> givemeaname: sudo lshw | less
[20:24] <jasuus> hi i have to cp a cd from the command line..do i have to mount it?
[20:24] <evan_> vincent_: if you wont answer or read my posts... you wont be helped...
[20:24] <givemeaname> erUSUL, that made my terminal go blank
[20:24] <nikki_> jasuus: Yes. It usually gets mounted automatically though.
[20:24] <krazeivan> nikki_, yes but its better to just pull them from the repo
[20:24] <erUSUL> jasuus: copy to another cd or copy the files inside it?
[20:24] <erUSUL> givemeaname: o.0!!
[20:24] <jasuus> erUSUL, just copy the files (.wav) to my home directory
[20:24] <erUSUL> givemeaname: press q
[20:25] <auclairb> what is the most recent version of sbcl i can get through synaptic ?
[20:25] <givemeaname> wait it's doing something now
[20:25] <almostautomated> hola :)  Quick question on desktop UI for the task panel at the bottom of the desktop; should it show the application windows for applications in that desktop?  Mine doesn't and I'd like it to...
[20:25] <pos69sum> hi - i upgraded to intrepid, my mouse and keyboard stopped working, i tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup - but it didn't fix
[20:25] <nikki_> krazeivan: I know, but the latest one that supports my card causes horizontal artifacts and stuff. I have GeForce Fx 5600, and 173.x causes artifacts. 71.x works though.
[20:25] <pos69sum> any suggestions?
[20:25] <tonyyarusso> If something in /var/lib was deleted, would it need to be recovered for system stability, or would things regenerate as needed?  (Admitting lost data, just wondering what's needed to boot and such now.)
[20:25] <erUSUL> jasuus: then you need to mount it. it should mount automatically?
[20:25] <nikki_> krazeivan: I just thought may be compiling 'em would be funner.
[20:25] <krazeivan> nikki_, eeew
[20:25] <vincent_> evan_
[20:25] <erUSUL> jasuus: it is not a cd audio; is it?
[20:25] <x-kent> I am trying to install anjuta (old 1.2 version from debian etch) it depends on libvte4 witch depends on libvte4-common. The last one is installed on my system, it's newer than It need it to be... any ideas ?
[20:25] <vincent_> what is God doing atm?
[20:25] <nikki_> x-kent: Get it from source then.
[20:25] <jasuus> erUSUL, i can do it with point-n-click just fine....when i go to /cdrom nothing is there tho
[20:25] <gromeo> guys I broke my python - installed multiple versions of it, even compiles one from source - but it has no make uninstall option like many others do
[20:25] <jasuus> erUSUL, (thru the command line)
[20:26] <krazeivan> nikki_, it's pretty easy to compile them from source
[20:26] <x-kent> nikki_, get anjuta soruce and compile ?
[20:26] <gromeo> how do I fix it
[20:26] <erUSUL> jasuus: /media/cdrom/ ??
[20:26] <nikki_> x-kent: Yes. The instructions are there on its website.
[20:26] <krazeivan> nikki_, nvidia has a decent script to do it
[20:26] <vincent_> what's wrong with your cam/pc if your cam can take pictures but not film sequences?
[20:26] <x-kent> nikki_, thanks
[20:26] <x-kent> gonna try that..
[20:26] <nikki_> krazeivan: Oh. Using that script caused the same problem.
[20:26] <jasuus> erUSUL, yep "cd media/cdrom" is empty
[20:26] <krazeivan> nikki_, o.O
[20:26] <pos69sum> please for the love of god
[20:26] <gromeo> how can I completely clean up my system from python - compiled manually and installed via apt?
[20:26] <dellubuntu> `Starke: learning i have 8.04 on a p3 384 mb i use as a lamp with firestarter and wireshark i am learning how to use wireshark by logging those access my site
[20:27] <nikki_> krazeivan: You mean the nvidia .run or .bin or something script right?
[20:27] <krazeivan> nikki_, yea
[20:27] <nikki_> krazeivan: Awww.
[20:27] <redDEAD> when i try to change mp3 tags in rhythmbox the changes dont stick
[20:27] <nikki_> krazeivan: It caused the same problem. :o
[20:27] <phantomcircuit> argh
[20:27] <nikki_> krazeivan: I guess its just that mah card sucks.
[20:27] <krazeivan> nikki_, have you googled for your problem
[20:27] <pos69sum> dell standard usb for optiplex gx620
[20:27] <pos69sum> running thru omniview usb kvm switch
[20:27] <nikki_> krazeivan: Loads of Googling. None helped.
[20:27] <auclairb> what is more recent in all the intrepid* stuff ?
[20:28] <pos69sum> they don't work either thru the kvm or plugged in directly
[20:28] <gromeo> guys really need help with python
[20:28] <krazeivan> nikki_, what ver. ubuntu are you running? 8.04/.10?
[20:28] <nikki_> krazeivan: Right now, I'm fine with the drivers I have. The only problem is that Wine won't run TF2.
[20:28] <nikki_> krazeivan: 8.04.
[20:28] <krazeivan> nikki_, lol
[20:28] <balle_> hey i have recently installed maple and was unable to register it online at install (due to not having internet access) so i have to uninstall it now to reinstall, can i just delete the home/usr/maple12 folder or do i have to do something else?
[20:28] <erUSUL> jasuus: grep iso9660 /proc/mounts
[20:28] <nikki_> krazeivan: Now if only Ubuntu was rolling release...
[20:28] <a3Dman_> brb
[20:28] <nikki_> Rolling release would be the awesomest thing to happen to Ubuntu.
[20:29] <jasuus> erUSUL, that comes back null
[20:29] <nikki_> krazeivan: You alive?
[20:29] <krazeivan> nikki_, so TF2 is causing artifacts?
[20:29] <erUSUL> jasuus: are you sure the cdrom is mounted?? try "pmount /dev/cdrom"
[20:29] <almostautomated> never mind, I found it 'Windows List'
[20:30] <nikki_> krazeivan: lol no
[20:30] <krazeivan> nikki_, or do you have artifacts all the time?
[20:30] <nikki_> krazeivan: TF2 won't run with new drivers.
[20:30] <nikki_> krazeivan: Sorry. Redo from start.
[20:30] <krazeivan> nikki_, sry, kinda tired
[20:30] <nikki_> krazeivan: TF2 wont run with old drivers. Old drivers run fine. New drivers cause artifacts.
[20:31] <krazeivan> nikki_, oh ok
[20:31] <nikki_> krazeivan: In fact, I tried running TF2 with the new drivers despite artifacts (lol) and it seems it wouldn't run there either.
[20:31] <nikki_> krazeivan: I think I'll just get a new graphics card. :P
[20:31] <nikki_> krazeivan: It runs fine under Windoze though.
[20:31] <krazeivan> nikki_, I got the 8600 cheap
[20:32] <nikki_> krazeivan: Bah, I'll get a whole new computer. I have AGP now, I need PCI-E, so I'll have to change loads of shit anyway.
[20:32] <Dominik314> When I restart my system the swap file is off, what to do?
[20:32] <krazeivan> nikki_, hahahaha, funny you should say that I tried upgrading my PC and wound up having to buy loads of new crap
[20:33] <nikki_> Does anyone know of any way you could use a spare laptop as a 'second monitor', you know, all that xinerama stuff.
[20:33] <erUSUL> Dominik314: is it listed in fstab??
[20:33] <nikki_> krazeivan: :P
[20:33] <x-kent> nikki_, configure script gives about 20 unsatisfied deps :-( should I try to satisfy them all ?
[20:33] <nikki_> Ok, gotta go.
[20:33] <nikki_> x-kent: Oh sorry, I have to go man, really sorry. :)
[20:33] <al_> why isn't ubuntu using pdiff for apt?
[20:33] <Dominik314> erUSUL: yes
[20:33] <nikki_> x-kent: You can figure it out, you're a genius. :P
[20:34] <x-kent> nikki_, lol, good luck
[20:34] <nikki_> x-kent: Ok, bye!
[20:34] <Dominik314> I turn it on through GParted everytime I boot

[20:35] <Jeaton> i have windows already on this computer and im not wanting to uninstall it and im not wanting to get another hdd either, so is there anyway
[20:35] <Jeaton> to shrink my windows partition so I can go ahead and put ubuntu on this computer too?
[20:35] <Valoru> Jeaton yes, you can install ubuntu on windows

[20:36] <Jeaton> cowbellemoo - wubi runs in windows?
[20:36] <Dominik> so when I hit the up key in terminal to see the commands Ubuntu wants to take a screen shot
[20:37] <al_> genii-around: never heard of that.. any place where i can read up on that topic?

[20:37] <Jeaton> im not wanting to install ubuntu on windows, i rather setup a dual boot
[20:37] <Coggz> can anyone help me with a vnc issue, i need to know how to forward it over a dynamic ip through a router
[20:37] <Jeaton> i just didnt know if it was possible, and if it is, how much pain it would be to shrink my windows partition so i can create another
[20:37] <Jeaton> for ubuntu
[20:37] <al_> genii-around: thanks a bunch
[20:38] <cowbellemoo> Jeaton, yep, my understanding is that it's fully compliant with windows' bootloader and doesn't set up any new partitions and filesystems.  It instead creates a single file on the windows machine that acts as a hard drive for the ubuntu install
[20:38] <Pits> alguien me ouede alludar porfa_+

[20:46] <finalphase> Whats the command to enable ports on my computer
[20:46] <zmitya> hi everybody
[20:46] <n8tuser> finalphase-> how would you check if it is enabled?
[20:46] <PriceChild> finalphase: no ports are blocked by default. Simply run a service that listens there.
[20:46] <zmitya> if someone is familiar with iozone, please check my results: http://paste.debian.net/21321/
[20:46] <LjL> finalphase: ports are not "disabled", by default, unless you've told them to be.
[20:47] <erUSUL> finalphase: no port is blocked in ubuntu by default. if there is a progrm listening on a port the port is open
[20:47] <SpectralDesign> hi, dumb question - upgraded my desktop to 8.10, and GDM doesn't start (get text only login) what script/program do I run to get it to reconfigure the video stuff?
[20:47] <zmitya> how is that possible my PATA disk is able to read ~700 MByte/sec ?
[20:47] <zmitya> I think iozone is wrong...
[20:47] <finalphase> PriceChild: I did x11vnc -listen creeperr.ath.cx -allow creeperr.ath.cx -httpport 5800 + more commands
[20:47] <mgolisch> it cant be that fast
[20:47] <n8tuser> zmitya-> nope, thats way too fast
[20:47] <finalphase> PriceChild: But when I try to connect remotely it cannot connect, I also forwarded ports
[20:48] <wulfin> Valoru, try changing the position of the wireless card.
[20:48] <zmitya> mgolisch, n8tuser can you please run this command please ? "iozone -Ra -s 512M -r 16M"
[20:48] <n8tuser> finalphase-> use nc or netcat to listen on a port.. to test it
[20:48] <zmitya> it needs 512M on your disk temporarily
[20:48] <sfire> anyone having trouble with the Broadcom wireless cards please see http://travis.blogsite.org/node/16 I just created a guide on it
[20:48] <n8tuser> zmitya-> i dont have that

[20:50] <finalphase> n8tuser Alright well I did it and its not accepting incomming connectiions from remote computers? How can I fix this. I've been at it for about 14 hours now running the same commands cause i'm stumped
[20:51] <PriceChild> finalphase: you might need to forward some ports
[20:51] <atisz> i would like to list all links from a html file using awk can somebody help me with that?
[20:51] <n8tuser> finalphase-> how about  nc -l -p 5800    and test it locally first

[20:52] <matthew> kiran1 are you trying to make a partition with your active drive ?
[20:52] <finalphase> nutuser / PriceChild: I have my ports forwarded 5800 / 5900 / 5901 and some others, N8t, I did that and locally it accepts it, but when I try to go to my living room computer to access it, via, http://creeperr.ath.cx:5800 it just says doesn't exist kinda thing.
[20:52] <Out_Cold> umm... how do i cat 3 files into one??
[20:52] <Valori> I just got a new graphics card this week and it works awesome on my system, only thing is when I use it my wireless can barely connect and when it finally does I get like 20% signal strength it says. I normally get 88%. I'm on my onboard graphics card until I can find out why this is happening. If you need anymore info on my pc for fixing this just ask.
[20:52] <matthew> You can't use gparted with a mounted drive
[20:53] <fosco_> Out_Cold: cat file1 file2 file3 > file4
[20:53] <Out_Cold> thanks fosco_ will that work for a split tarball as well?
[20:53] <fosco_> never tried
[20:53] <Out_Cold> ideally should i suppose
[20:53] <genii-around> Out_Cold: Probably not
[20:54] <Wipster>  hey all, I'm trying to setup my mic to work properly, I can hear my mic through my speakers when I talk so I know its working, I mute the playback of the mic then go to system->prefs->sound and try to set the capture device to ALSA but I get the error that the device is being used by another process, what can I do?
[20:54] <Out_Cold> genii-around, any ideas how to re-assemble a split tarball then?
[20:54] <kiran1> matthew i just wanted to install 8.10 but ubiquity wont move after the keyboard settings and when i tried to open gparted i got this error
[20:54] <genii-around> Out_Cold: What was used to split it?
[20:54] <Out_Cold> split
[20:54] <fosco_> so cat will work
[20:55] <sfire> Wipster: try ending all tasks that are using it.. or simply reboot the machine and do it before you do anything else
[20:55] <Wipster> sfire, tried logging off and logging in to no avail you recon a reboot?
[20:55] <matthew> have you tried the install option at boot or do you try ubuntu with changing anything kiran1 ?
[20:55] <matthew> without **
[20:55] <recon> oh, false alarm.
[20:55] <NekroJakub> Is there a virtualization channel? I'm wondering just how effective is it...
[20:56] <genii-around> Out_Cold: In that case the cat file1 file2 >file3 may work, since the split command does not add extra info the head or tail of each section (as with some other file splitters)

[20:56] <Valori> no
[20:56] <Valori> compaq
[20:57] <PriceChild> finalphase: well the host is correct. You probably have an issue with the router not letting a connection going out and in again.
[20:57] <Out_Cold> matthew, it's a backup of my home sys... that i already erased
[20:57] <matthew> kiran1 do you have any usb devices attached ?

It used to ask username and password at connection time. Now it only asks the password and uses the username set up in the preferences. Is there a way to get the old behaviour?
[21:02] <lxxxlxxxl> does anyone know the status of the nividia drivers in  8.10?
[21:03] <matthew> and I don't like ubuntu classic look

I hit the speaker in the record tab when I double click the master vol control program but that takes the slider right to the bottom and stops all recording
[21:04] <erUSUL> SpectralDesign: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and try "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults"
[21:04] <finalphase> PriceChild: What can I do to fix this, I have forwarded my ports anything else I can do to allow on that port?
[21:04] <luke_> EJ?
[21:04] <matthew> finalphase what are you trying to do ?
[21:04] <sfire> Wipster: that part I don't know
[21:04] <lxxxlxxxl> I have leave now. thx everybody
[21:04] <luke_> what? EJ!!!
[21:04] <SpectralDesign> erUSUL - thanks!
[21:04] <monroecr> Any recommended client to manage Amazon S# web services, please?

[21:05] <RediXe> Trying to get my Epson TM-T88IV printer working. It's a receipt thermal printer. Not really finding any useful info on how to get this going. Any help is appreciated! Thanks :D
[21:05] <luke_> i want to access it from school and other pcs
[21:05] <Wipster> well I guess my question is redirected to everyone then :)
[21:05] <PriceChild> finalphase: I'm guessing on a hunch its a router issue.
[21:05] <matthew> have to tried it locally
[21:05] <luke_> EJ: i want to access it from school and other pcs
[21:05] <matthew> on your lan
[21:05] <Wipster> sfire, might it be alsa precific, would it be worth asking in their channel?
[21:05] <Wipster> *specific
[21:06] <EJ> luke_: best option to do then is set up an account with dyndns.org and run a dns updater
[21:06] <sfire> Wipster: have you tried alsamix?
[21:06] <finalphase> PriceChild: How do I find which 192.168.1.# im on, that could be the issue I swear its 6
[21:06] <PriceChild> finalphase: ifconfig
[21:06] <finalphase> PriceChild: ifconfig says <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:06] <PriceChild> finalphase: that then
[21:06] <finalphase> PriceChild: Yeah tahts what I checked
[21:06] <raevol> does the default ubuntu use flashplugin-nonfee?
[21:06] <matthew> finalphase ifconfig
[21:06] <EJ> then all you would have to do is connect to : *****.dyndns.org and input your username and password
[21:06] <sfire> Wipster: its actually alsamixer ... see if that works
[21:06] <finalphase> PriceChild: Let me take a screeny 1 sec
[21:06] <PriceChild> raevol: no you have to install it yourself
[21:06] <luke_> EJ: did u say you could access it tho?
[21:06] <fosco_> raevol: not installed by default
[21:06] <raevol> PriceChild, is that the package it uses though? or is there a better way?
[21:06] <EJ> luke_: yes
[21:07] <luke_> EJ: how,
[21:07] <xchatlap> monroecr: perhaps jungledisk
[21:07] <EJ> luke_: i just pulled your ip address with a whois from here
[21:07] <PriceChild> raevol: pardon?
[21:07] <Wipster> sfire, if I tab to recording and set MIC high and go to playback and set it off, in recording it also goes to off
[21:07] <luke_> EJ: and it worked with my ip?
[21:07] <EJ> luke_: and ran the vnc viewer
[21:07] <raevol> rather, how should i install flash? should i use flashplugin-nonfree or is there a more reliable method?
[21:07] <EJ> luke_: yeah
[21:07] <matthew> wish I remembered the vnc program I used years back
[21:07] <joaopinto> raevol, install the flashplugin-nonfree
[21:08] <EJ> matthew: radmin works awsome
[21:08] <sfire> matthew: what did it do?  I use VNC all the time
[21:08] <raevol> oh, and if i am using amd64? i am using flashplugin-nonfree at the moment, but it tends to lock up my browser
[21:08] <matthew> raevol sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:08] <finalphase> PriceChild: http://img370.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picum7.png
[21:08] <finalphase> matthew: http://img370.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picum7.png
[21:08] <Wipster> sfire, capture not recording my bad
[21:08] <monroecr> xchatlap: thank you !, checking now.. any other comments, options welcome
[21:08] <joaopinto> raevol, it is working fine for me
[21:08] <matthew> sfire I joined the navy lol
[21:09] <PriceChild> finalphase: I still think its a dodgy router setting not letting connections "loopback"(?)
[21:09] <matthew> does vnc use tcp or udp ?
[21:09] <Wipster> sfire, I guess they are linked? shouldn't be..
[21:09] <EJ> matthew: tcp i belive
[21:09] <joaopinto> matthew, tcp
[21:09] <finalphase> PriceChild: Hmm, maybe I'll try a full router reset, ill tell you how it goes in just a minute.
[21:10] <matthew> idk what the problem is
[21:10] <PriceChild> finalphase: nope don'e
[21:10] <matthew> I'm a horrible helper I just make things work :-s
[21:10] <raevol> thanks everyone
[21:10] <finalphase_> PriceChild: Howcome?
[21:10] <PriceChild> finalphase_: that won't solve anything ;)
[21:11] <finalphase> PriceChild: Well help me xD Its always worked before I used to host major webpages for gaming and forums and other sorts of junk
[21:11] <finalphase> PriceChild: Could it be that its running off w/e web software that VNC came with, and no something like Apache / Wamp or something?
[21:12] <matthew> finalphase have you tried vnc locally ?
[21:12] <cmdrsmith> hey i got a quick question, how do u speed up video on 8.10 ** NEW USER**
[21:12] <finalphase> matthew: Yes the webpage will work if im connecting from a computer on the lan, but not if im connecting from a computer off the lan
[21:12] <PriceChild> finalphase: no
[21:12] <robacarp> cmdrsmith: what do you mean speed up video?
[21:12] <finalphase> PriceChild: Grrr i'm stumped.
[21:12] <matthew> well then it must be something wrong in the router settings

[21:13] <robacarp> eddVRS: fg
[21:13] <kaffien> is ubuntu-server supposed to install as console only?
[21:14] <finalphase> PriceChild: Grrr i'm stumped. In my /etc/hosts I ahve <IP_ADDRESS> creeperr.ath.cx            |           <IP_ADDRESS> creeperr.ath.cx            |             <IP_ADDRESS> creeperr.ath.cx            |  <IP_ADDRESS> localhost                   |                <IP_ADDRESS> creeperr.ath.cx
[21:14] <robacarp> kaffien: yes
[21:14] <matthew> yes kaffien
[21:14] <eddVRS> thanks robacarp... been a long day :(
[21:14] <robacarp> eddVRS: we all have those ;-)
[21:14] <EJ> matthew: whats wrong ?
[21:14] <kaffien> can i slap X on it with kde ?
[21:14] <PriceChild> finalphase: erm don't put lots of ips for the same hostname.
[21:14] <finalphase> PriceChild: Should I add/remove anything or is that good the way it is
[21:14] <matthew> EJ ????
[21:14] <kaffien> or does it have to DL all those packages
[21:14] <PriceChild> finalphase: I'm not totally sure... but that doesn't sound clever.
[21:14] <finalphase> PriceChild: Which one should I use then, my lan IP or major IP, or localhost
[21:14] <EJ> matthew: you were talking about VNC ? were you having issues with it ?
[21:15] <matthew> no finalphase is I believe
[21:15] <PriceChild> finalphase: Get rid of them all.
[21:15] <therealtroubadou> i have 8.10 desktop, with a WUSB54GSC wireless adapter. i can view my wireless network, get prompted to enter the pw, but it never connects. is this an issue with ubuntu? or with my network/adapter
[21:15] <matthew> just here to help
[21:15] <EJ> matthew: oh ok
[21:15] <matthew> EJ you need anything ?
[21:15] <finalphase> PriceChild: Its removed, how do I re-load the hosts file so that it refreshes my hosts?
[21:15] <PriceChild> finalphase: then try vnc'ing to localhost, if that works, try vnc'ing to <IP_ADDRESS>, if that works, try <IP_ADDRESS>, then if that works, creeperr.ath.cx
[21:15] <latitude> hi all
[21:15] <matthew> EJ if you wanna send me some ddr2 ram that would be cool
[21:15] <PriceChild> finalphase: no need
[21:16] <PriceChild> finalphase: each step will troubleshoot a different issue and help us find the real problem.
[21:16] <ValentineXX> i created ppa file now how to install package? http://paste.ubuntu.com/71080/
[21:16] <latitude> i am a beginner ubuntu user, and i need a help.... can anybody help me?
[21:16] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: you created a ppa file?
[21:16] <matthew> pricechild if it works locally it has to be the router and the forwarding
[21:16] <EJ> matthew: i'll send you 2 1 gig sticks if you send me 2 2gig sticks
[21:16] <EJ> matthew: :D
[21:16] <joaopinto> ValentineXX, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install package
[21:16] <ValentineXX> PriceChild: yup
[21:17] <PriceChild> matthew: I think it best he goes through each of those steps just so we can be totally sure about them.
[21:17] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: Could you clarify what that means?
[21:17] <matthew> EJ if you include and nvidia 9800
[21:17] <EJ> matthew: lol
[21:17] <ValentineXX> PriceChild: read that link
[21:17] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: i did, i'm not sure what you mean.
[21:17] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: oh sorry right
[21:17] <odeland> guys, can I consider ubuntu as replacement for Winblows server?
[21:17] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: now sudo apt-get update
[21:17] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: sudo apt-get install gwibber
[21:17] <matthew> final after using linux for 7 years I can make everything work lol
[21:18] <Dominik> I have a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 card, however I can not find the driver for that... can I use either Mobility Radeon 9600 or the Radeon 9000 driver, and how would I install those?
[21:18] <PriceChild> walmis: just be careful about using packages outside the ubuntu repositories.
[21:18] <robacarp> odeland: I did.  Its working, but it was a pain to setup ;-)
[21:18] <PriceChild> ValentineXX: ^
[21:18] <matthew> dominik have you tried envy ?
[21:18] <joaopinto> odeland, it depends on your requirements
[21:18] <matthew> sudo apt-get install envyng
[21:18] <matthew> !envyng
[21:19] <joaopinto> Dominik, do you get a driver suggested on the "hardware drivers" dialog ?
[21:19] <ValentineXX> PriceChild: joaopinto thanks
[21:19] <Dominik> matthew: evny broke my display
[21:19] <matthew> have you tried different drivers ?
[21:20] <robacarp> odeland: for me, I had to though, because my budget was zero.  samba is a mature project that works well as a windows server replacement, but it has no quality gui configuration, so you'll spend hours looking @ conf files
[21:20] <EJ> matthew: so 2 1gigs sticks of ddr2 and nvidia 9800 for 2 2gig sticks of ddr2 and 2 terabyte external hdds ... ?
[21:20] <matthew> nvidia driver 177 doesn't work for me but 173 does
[21:20] <faria_khan> how can i chek my ubuntu ver ???
[21:20] <matthew> EJ wth ?
[21:20] <odeland> I'd be willing to suffer simply to avoid micro$oft' evil
[21:20] <robacarp> faria_khan: cat /etc/lsb-release
[21:20] <EJ> matthew: :D
[21:20] <matthew> I love ms windows
[21:20] <odeland> robacarp: thanks for pointing, I think I'll see you guys often :)
[21:21] <Tmi> I just copied some files of a CD to my harddrive, and they all became read only ..... can anyone give me the command to make all the folders and files read and write?
[21:21] <robacarp> odeland: google is yoru friend, and so is the #samba channel
[21:21] <joaopinto> robacarp, you just spend hours searching for files if you want to, there are pretty detailed tutorial/how-tos for most server roles
[21:21] <matthew> I love ms windows the downloaded version for piratebay and used in vbox 2.0
[21:21] <therealtroubadou> i have 8.10 desktop, with a WUSB54GSC wireless adapter. i can view my wireless network, get prompted to enter the pw, but it never connects. is this an issue with ubuntu? or with my network/adapter? i read on the forums where wht WUSB54GS works/functions immediately...
[21:21] <EJ> ok i gotta run for a bit, i'll bbl
[21:21] <faria_khan> what is the latest ver of ubuntu???
[21:21] <Tmi> 8.10
[21:21] <loxley_> Tmi: man chmod
[21:21] <faria_khan> i have 8.04
[21:21] <joaopinto> matthew, could you please move the off-topic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[21:21] <fosco_> Tmi: chmod -R 755 files
[21:21] <faria_khan> how can i update
[21:21] <Tmi> thank you
[21:21] <Dominik> joaopinto: no I do not get suggested drivers
[21:22] <matthew> joaopinto will you ?

[21:28] <daedrik> psyjoniz, was it pink ?
[21:28] <LjL> This was a netsplit, please ignore it.
[21:28] <psyjoniz> daedrik: if i say yes, do i win?  ^^
[21:28] <ironmedic> hi guys, for some reason, all my YAHOO stuff does not work? i cannot log into my yahoo messenger and no links on yahoo work.  it works fine on my friends windows xp laptop?

[21:30] <limecat> does anyone know of a way to use ubuntu as a standard phone (via modem?
[21:31] <ironmedic> does anyone know why nothing on yahoo works on linux?  it works great on my friends windows xp laptop
[21:31] <limecat> ironmedic: you mean the website?
[21:32] <lenswipe> pidgin doesnt work
[21:32] <lenswipe> anyone got any ideas?
[21:32] <ironmedic> the website links wont work for me but works on my friends windows xp setup.  my pidgin does not connect to the yahoo server either
[21:32] <kishan> hello
[21:32] <matthew> ironmedic try gyachi
[21:32] <lenswipe> i cannot connect to any servers, be it IRC on msn

[21:33] <lenswipe> *sigh*
[21:33] <lenswipe> anyone?
[21:33] <ironmedic> lenswipe: does your pidgin connect to yahoo?  yahoo links work?
[21:33] <ahmed> #linuxac
[21:33] <ironmedic> ah
[21:33] <lenswipe> ironmedic: i dont have a yahoo account, but i would guess not because the IRC part doesnt work and neither does the msn part
[21:34] <lenswipe> ironmedic: BUT heres the interesting part
[21:34] <kishan> msn does not work
[21:34] <erUSUL> !doesntwork | lenswipe

[21:34] <kishan> are your advanced settings default?
[21:34] <lenswipe> ironmedic: it works fine on windows, im chatting from a windows install of pidgin now
[21:34] <lenswipe> the thing is
[21:35] <lenswipe> im behind a proxy server
[21:35] <Mr_Fixit> ironmedic, possible.. but highly unlikely
[21:35] <lenswipe> but i dont think its that because the windows install of pidgin works perfectly
[21:35] <JC_Denton_> I'm using the recommended printer driver but Open Office is outputting garbage
[21:35] <kishan> any other chat clients?
[21:35] <ironmedic> my yahoo stuff was working fine earlier and then out of nowhere, it crashed and nothing related to yahoo works

[22:00] <facefaceface> hi, my ubuntu box is down with a 'broken' upgrade ... unfortunately I forgot what version I was running, so I'm finding it hard to work out what to read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades (for example)
[22:00] <facefaceface> can someone tell me how to determine my current ubuntu version (I have a shell)
[22:00] <erUSUL> atarinox: yep i need to do it each reboot (never bothered to script it)
[22:00] <LjL> !version | facefaceface
[22:00] <ghost3> neuton use ifconfig and look at the settings
[22:00] <erUSUL> atarinox: and it is noticiable right away even on ongoing transfers
[22:00] <slowz> erUSUL: cat /etc/issue
[22:01] <neuton> they look alright to me
[22:01] <erUSUL> atarinox: problem is for some reason the driver configures itself to 1M transfer rate
[22:01] <NET||abuse> erUSUL: or cat /etc/lsb-release
[22:01] <blackvd> Anyone else having flash video playing with grey bars across it and locking up the browser? I'm running Ubuntu 32bit with flash 10.0 r12 <--Asked earlier but missed the response cause i had xchat only set to 500 scroll back >_>

[22:01] <facefaceface> OK, thanks LjL, I'm 6.06
[22:01] <Journeyman> and is it worth it
[22:01] <erUSUL> NET||abuse: slowz ???

[22:01] <slowz> yes sorry erUSUL
[22:02] <NET||abuse> erUSUL: arrg, sorry, hour 15 in work.. tired
[22:02] <atarinox> erUSUL, Thanks. Just did a speed test and the improvement is HUGE

[22:02] <bob_> I am running 8.4 and it seems to be updatying all the time. Should I upgrade to 8.10 or are the upgrades taking care of that?
[22:02] <ghost3> I like 8.10 for the new themes that's about it. I might go back to 8.04 till 8.10.1 is released
[22:02] <limecat> James_UK: can you post your menu.lst to pastebin?
[22:03] <limecat> James_UK: also, an idea of how yer drive is partitioned would help

[22:03] <facefaceface> ghost3, can I pick your brain?
[22:03] <limecat> ghost3: the new network manager is leet
[22:03] <NET||abuse> so anyone know of a simple app for converting audio files from one codec to another, my case ac3 to mp3?
[22:03] <ghost3> facefaceface go ahead
[22:03] <Journeyman> going to 8.10 won't really "fix" it
[22:03] <fryguy> NET||abuse: lame is an mp3 encoder
[22:03] <bob_> Journeyman: Right, but should I upgrade to 8.10?
[22:03] <facefaceface> if I am 6.06.2.LTS, should I go to 7.04 LTS then 8.4?
[22:03] <ikonia> facefaceface: 7.04 is not lts
[22:04] <sfire> NET||abuse: I use a windows app via WINE to do it
[22:04] <Journeyman> bob_, nah
[22:04] <NET||abuse> fryguy: oh,, so i can run lame as an encoder that will read in the ac3 file?
[22:04] <ghost3> limecat I do agree with that but bluetooth is broke and I want to use it to connect to cingular
[22:04] <limecat> NET||abuse: ffmpeg?
[22:04] <bob_> journeyman: Thanks
[22:04] <facefaceface> "For example, a user of Ubuntu 7.04 LTS (Feisty Fawn) could first upgrade to 7.10, then to 8.04 LTS"
[22:04] <fryguy> NET||abuse: no, you will need to pipe it the output from an ac3 decoder
[22:04] <Journeyman> bob_, I personally don't see any reason to upgrade at this point,but I was in here just to find out myself
[22:04] <ikonia> facefaceface: 7.04 is not lts
[22:04] <Journeyman> also upgradding can some times break stuff
[22:04] <facefaceface> ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion
[22:04] <NET||abuse> limecat: does ffmpeg have mp3 support out of the "box"
[22:04] <Journeyman> so it is better to wait for it to be more stable
[22:04] <facefaceface> Journeyman, looking at a broken system here
[22:04] <neuton> ok I will be back later
[22:04] <fryguy> Journeyman: upgrading rendered my system completely unusable with no resolution for any of my issues in sight, so I restored a backup
[22:04] <arrrghhh> does rsync follow bind mounts?  it seems like it is...
[22:04] <limecat> NET||abuse: no idea, but i know it can be made to support a ton of stuff
[22:05] <limecat> you could also look @ vlc, which DOES, but i dunno about the other codec
[22:05] <facefaceface> basically my question is, "I'm 6.06, where should I go?"
[22:05] <Journeyman> fryguy, yeah that happened to me when I went from 7.10 to 8.04 had to reinstall
[22:05] <ikonia> fryguy: 7.04 is not lts
[22:05] <NET||abuse> limecat: the problem with  the ffmpeg packages is they support only totally open stuff,, no h.264 and no mp3
[22:05] <fryguy> ikonia: i never said it was, why direct that at me
[22:05] <lobosque> whats the easiest way to transfer a file from my ubuntu to a windows XP running in a virtual machine?
[22:05] <sfire> NET||abuse: Check out dbpoweramp... it works in linux with wine
[22:05] <facefaceface> backup you say?
[22:05] <Journeyman> so now I just wait for awhile before upgrading, at this point there arn't any features that I really really want
[22:05] <ikonia> fryguy: sorry - that was for facefaceface
[22:05] <limecat> NET||abuse: you could always compile from source with support for what you want
[22:05] <ikonia> facefaceface: 7.04 is not lts
[22:05] <NET||abuse> sfire: ug.. why is there no good native linux app :(
[22:05] <arrrghhh> lobosque, easiest?  ssh/winscp.  best?  probably samba.
[22:05] <facefaceface> ikonia, I am 6.06.2 LTS, where should I go? 8.04 lTS?
[22:05] <NET||abuse> limecat: i could,,, but it's sooo time consuming (:
[22:06] <sfire> NET||abuse: nothing wrong with wine (thats probably why)
[22:06] <ikonia> facefaceface: yes,
[22:06] <ikonia> facefaceface: as the doc suggests <quote> upgrade from an LTS release to the next LTS release (for example, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)  </quote>
[22:06] <facefaceface> ikonia, and should I try to do that in one step?
[22:06] <ikonia> facefaceface: follow that guide though
[22:06] <fryguy> NET||abuse: there are native linux apps, I just gave you the name of an mp3 encoder
[22:06] <limecat> NET||abuse: but installing a package doesnt give you that feeling of relief on hour 6 when problem X is finally solved :D
[22:06] <NET||abuse> fryguy: :) yeh, ok.
[22:06] <linxeh> NET||abuse: nothing free is going to have mp3 support out of the box due to legal reasons
[22:06] <facefaceface> ikonia, ah! right! (so blind!)
[22:06] <DerArzt> i have a latpop with a built in media card reader anyone know any tricks for how to get a 4gb sd card to mount??
[22:07] <NET||abuse> linxeh: feck patents,, i live in the EU
[22:07] <sfire> DerArzt: it should automatically when media is inserted
[22:07] <RediXe> Trying to get my Epson TM-T88IV printer working. It's a receipt thermal printer. Not really finding any useful info on how to get this going. Any help is appreciated! Thanks :D
[22:07] <DerArzt> 4gb cards sometimes have trouble being recognized
[22:07] <fryguy> NET||abuse: you might not care, but the developers and distributors do
[22:07] <DerArzt> its a somewhat common problem for windows as well as linux
[22:07] <NET||abuse> linxeh: there should be patent ignorant EU mirrors for all this stuff :)
[22:07] <izaak> can anyone briefly explain or put me on the path to understanding why on a mac using fdisk (on say the live ubuntu cd) to create new partitions in empty space doesn't affect the partition map properly, i.e. devices don't show up?  must have something to do with MBR vs. GPT....
[22:07] <DerArzt> it doesnt show up in parted either
[22:08] <linxeh> NET||abuse: and you'll find that its a german company with the patent on the mp3, and they charge a licence on the trademark and compliance checks
[22:08] <D3RGPS31> How can I automatically log in to TTY1?
[22:08] <fryguy> izaak: macs use GPT, not standard partitioning tables.  fdisk uses standard partitioning tables.  you answered your own question
[22:08] <mgolisch> icqnumber: yeah fdisk doesnt support gpt, you have to use parted
[22:08] <linxeh> NET||abuse: so EU companies can quite easily be sued for trademark infringement
[22:08] <mgolisch> ups izaak  i mean
[22:08] <ikonia> izaak: what do you mean don't show up ?
[22:08] <izaak> fryguy: yeah but i don't know what to do
[22:08] <sfire> linxeh: that same company produces the worst codec
[22:08] <linxeh> NET||abuse: I'm in the EU  (well, UK)
[22:08] <erUSUL> izaak: i'm not sure fdisk understands the partitions tables used on macs... you should use parted and or gparted
[22:08] <sfire> lame is the very best MP3 encoder
[22:08] <NET||abuse> linxeh: ah, i didn't actually know it was a german company
[22:08] <linxeh> sfire: fraunhoffers is pretty damned good, just not fast. its very very comparable to lame. XING make the worst...
[22:09] <sfire> its very bad... their codec doesn't hold a candle to lame
[22:09] <izaak> erUSUL: k i'll try parted, i have a feeling it will just do the same thing though
[22:09] <sfire> the reason apples itunes encoder blows
[22:10] <linxeh> sfire: it does when the options are set correctly, just like LAME sucks when used badly
[22:10] <facefaceface> hrm... no easy solution to my problem here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeProblems
[22:10] <NET||abuse> hmm, i have lame now,, don't see any mention of an ac3 related app in the debs :(
[22:10] <D3RGPS31> Is there a way to auto login to multiple TTYs?
[22:10] <izaak> erUSUL: basically i have an ubuntu root partition image that i know works on identical imacs, i used bootcamp to resize the mac partition and leave free space, but i need some way of properly creating a) a linux partition to write my image to and b) a swap partition
[22:10] <NET||abuse> i'm feeling a little mad and want to do it without wine.... ac3 decoder pass to  lame, it'll be fun.
[22:11] <Uplink> my windows xp wont boot :( i need help with the grub... i tried all the steps on !grub
[22:11] <izaak> i think i have to do the partitioning twice, i.e. once with fdisk and once with some mac tool but i'm not sure what is the best route...
[22:11] <uvacav> any way to stop gnome-panel from automatically restarting when i kill it?
[22:11] <mgolisch> Uplink: whats the problem?
[22:11] <erUSUL> izaak: well mac uses efi not traditional bios and for partitions tables something called gpt
[22:11] <erUSUL> izaak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[22:11] <mgolisch> uvacav: yeah disable the restart in gnome-session-properties
[22:12] <fryguy> izaak: there is a wiki page highlighting all of the steps necessary to install ubuntu on mac hardware, have you bothered to read that yet?
[22:12] <Uplink> mgolisch: so i got xp and ubuntu dual booted on my pc... and everytime i want to boot xp, my pc just restarts
[22:12] <mgolisch> Uplink: no error?
[22:12] <linxeh> sfire: for many live recordings (those with huge phasing issues typically due to bad multi-mic positioning) fraunhofer codec is far better than LAME still
[22:12] <mgolisch> Uplink: how does you grub entry for xp look like? and whats your partitioning?
[22:12] <Uplink> mgolisch: no if i change the root to (hd0,1)
[22:12] <ironmedic> hi guys, my yahoo messenger does not work on kopete and pidgin.  no links work on yahoo through ubuntu.  everything works fine on windows xp
[22:13] <Uplink> mgolisch: wanna see my menu.lst?
[22:13] <LF|Irssi> Can someone help me with getting tightvncserver working? I need to know the command to start the server, and what file do i edit to configure it? Thanks
[22:13] <mgolisch> Uplink: yeah upload it on some nopaste service
[22:13] <sfire> linxeh: I haven't seen that in spectral analysis.. but this is a subject better for #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:13] <Sorcererbob> LF|Irssi: sudo service vncserver start
[22:13] <Uplink> mgolisch: http://pastebin.com/f3c9cd5bf
[22:14] <hanspeter> How can I restore my /home Rights?
[22:14] <untermensch_> How do you uninstall a file that you unpackaged from a tar.gz file?
[22:14] <LF|Irssi> Sorcererbob: ok but how doi configured it?
[22:14] <fryguy> hanspeter: chmod and chown are used to change permissions for files and directories
[22:14] <uvacav> mgolisch: it seems gnome-panel isnt on that list (in session preferences). any other ideas?
[22:14] <hanspeter> untermensch_look into the readme
[22:14] <cw-brad> thats fine LjL
[22:14] <Sorcererbob> LF|Irssi, but there is an option in the... preferences(?) menu about remote desktop. Just tick some boxes in there and you have a vnc server which starts on boot
[22:14] <untermensch_> hanspeter: ok, thank you.
[22:14] <Frogging101> chown and chmod must be used as root
[22:14] <fryguy> Frogging101: not necessarily
[22:14] <LF|Irssi> uhhh Sorcererbob its kinda not for Ubuntu, hehehe
[22:14] <LjL> !offtopic | cw-brad
[22:15] <hanspeter> Frogging101 I already used 'em..but nothing new!
[22:15] <Sorcererbob> LF|Irssi, thats cool. Most things with GNOME will have the same one. I know Fedora does
[22:15] <linxeh> sfire: definitely now :-)
[22:15] <LF|Irssi> Sorcererbob: pc-bsd KDE ;)
[22:15] <hanspeter> My lse me: No home found!
[22:15] <izaak> fryguy: yeah, i think it skips over some of the stuff i need to do because they use installers - i have to do everything manually because i'm just wanting to copy over a disk image for linux
[22:15] <ShadowBelmolve> hello, my mouse do not works on xubuntu 8.04.1, any idea?
[22:15] <cw-brad> lol
[22:15] <hanspeter> But it is mounted!
[22:15] <izaak> s/disk image/partition image
[22:15] <Sorcererbob> lol ok
[22:15] <LjL> !lol | cw-brad
[22:15] <mgolisch> Uplink: hm did you resize the winbdows partition or something?
[22:15] <Frogging101> fryguy: If you don't already own the folder or file, you need to use sudo
[22:15] <Uplink> mgolisch: no :|
[22:15] <Sorcererbob> LF|Irssi: whats your package manager?
[22:16] <mgolisch> uvacav: hm yeah they seem to have removed that from the current session property thing
[22:16] <LF|Irssi> pkg_add -r <package goes here> Sorcererbob
[22:16] <vincent_> there's a program that can take single pictures of my webcam but videoing through /dev/video0 isn't possible, what is going on here?
[22:16] <Uplink> mgolisch: im telling you, not even starts to boot... it doesnt even go into boot screen, just restarts
[22:16] <Mr_DATA> hi.. nautilus has somehow managed to size itself larger than the current screen .. gui resize options appear out of the question.. how may i reset nautilus window size settings (or in fact general nautilius settings) to reset the window size??
[22:16] <hanspeter> vincent_ u got a tv card?
[22:16] <LF|Irssi> i have it installed Sorcererbob , but i just need to know the commands to launch it
[22:16] <joebodo> !webcam
[22:16] <vincent_> hanspeter no
[22:16] <mgolisch> Uplink: but you windows partition is ok?
[22:16] <vincent_> hanspeter it used to work on my previous ubuntu install
[22:16] <Uplink> mgolisch: ok as in?
[22:16] <Frogging101> Anyway, here's my problem:
[22:16] <LF|Irssi> ill try services vncserver start and see if that works, brb Sorcererbob
[22:17] <mgolisch> Uplink: like you can mount its filesystem for example
[22:17] <askand> I've heard ATI is slowly opening up the drivers? What about Nvida, are they doing the same? What would be wise for me to choose?
[22:17] <LF|Irssi> err service*
[22:17] <Mr_DATA> where is the current nautilus window size variable held i need to reset this pls???
[22:17] <ikonia> askand: nvidia is the better supported currently
[22:17] <Uplink> mgolisch: yes... 90.3 GB Media mounted on my ubuntu right here on my desktp :]
[22:17] <Sorcererbob> LF|Irssi: you need to configure it. the configuration files are in 2 places. On it /etc/sysconfig/vncservers , the other is in your user's home directory, under... /home/user/ ... something
[22:17] <mgolisch> Uplink: hm, did you have a second partition before for windows?
[22:17] <mr_polite> Mr_DATA: gconf-editor
[22:18] <Sorcererbob> One is *
[22:18] <LF|Irssi> Sorcererbob: ok ill try that thanks :)
[22:18] <hanspeter> How can I restore the default /home rights?
[22:18] <jannik_> hi
[22:18] <Mr_DATA> mr_polite: thanks   very much appreciated
[22:18] <Uplink> mgolisch: what do you mean? i always had my PC like this... i mean no major changes for it to be acting up like this
[22:18] <ironmedic> hi guys, my yahoo messenger does not work on kopete and pidgin.  no links work on yahoo through ubuntu.  everything works fine on windows xp
[22:18] <ikonia> hanspeter: your home permissions or your home directory
[22:18] <hanspeter> chmod and chown did not work :(
[22:18] <peeps[work]> anyone know how to set xchat so that irc global notices don't make it flash like a personal message does
[22:18] <jannik_> hi
[22:18] <Sorcererbob> LF|Irssi: the other is in /home/user/.vnc/xstartup
[22:18] <mr_polite> hmm
[22:18] <D3RGPS31> How can I auto login to multiple TTYs
[22:18] <askand> ikonia: when do you think ATI will be better supported? Are we moving in such a direction?
[22:19] <hanspeter> yes, ikonia
[22:19] <Frogging101> I installed ubuntu on my laptop recently, but wasn't able to create a swap space because I had too many partitions. I had my Windows partition, and the computer came with a system restore partition and some data storage partition. I can't add another partition, because I have too many. I want a swap space, because there are times when Ubuntu needs more memory, and I would usually have to do a hard restart. Is there any way to have
[22:19] <ikonia> askand: I have no idea
[22:19] <ikonia> hanspeter: so you need to sudo chmod 750 /home/$username
[22:19] <mgolisch> Uplink: i see, very odd
[22:19] <Dreamglider> im having problems installing ubuntu on a dell inspiron 6000, it installs and restarts and says "0 Active".
[22:19] <hanspeter> That's all ikonia?
[22:19] <Uplink> mgolisch: yea i know! :S
[22:19] <fryguy> Frogging101: use GPT, or create extended partitions
[22:19] <mgolisch> Frogging101: you can use a swap file on your root partition
[22:19] <ikonia> hanspeter: and then "sudo chown $username:$group /home/$username"
[22:19] <s7orm> any one knows how VirtualBox recognize usb devices????
[22:19] <hanspeter> Okay. I'll try it out now.
[22:19] <Frogging101> fryguy: What's GPT?
[22:20] <fryguy> Frogging101: guid partition tables
[22:20] <vincent_> hanspeter, next time say useful stuff please
[22:20] <gambler> I installed Ubuntu on a 2nd hard disk, but I cant get it working with my Nvidia graphics card
[22:21] <Shadowboltshurt> WoW lags really bad after installing in wine
[22:21] <alesan> re
[22:21] <gambler> Is there an easy way to remove the boot / MBR record so that it just goes directly to windows again?
[22:21] <joebodo> !nvidia
[22:21] <Frogging101> fryguy: Is that a program?
[22:21] <Uplink> gambler: yea
[22:21] <gambler> I already read that and no help
[22:21] <joebodo> !dualboot
[22:21] <Shadowboltshurt> i have compiz turned off
[22:21] <fryguy> gambler: put windows install media in and run fixmbr
[22:21] <alesan> guys since the upgrade to ibex my mother says the option to turn off the computer is gone
[22:21] <mgolisch> Uplink: sure that thing is right? i mean it says root (hd0,1) for both the ubuntu and the windows entries, that cant be right
[22:21] <dominique> bonjour
[22:21] <EJ> gambler: fdisk /mbr
[22:21] <joebodo> !grub
[22:21] <alesan> is this a known issue?
[22:21] <gambler> cheers
[22:21] <ironmedic> does anyone know why yahoo doesnt work on mozilla/ubuntu but works fine on windows xp?
[22:21] <fryguy> Frogging101: no, it's a conceptual layout of data that signifies the start and end sectors for partitions on storage media
[22:21] <untermensch_> does anybody know how to uninstall ddclient?
[22:22] <Frogging101> fryguy: What would I do to use that?
[22:22] <dominique> bonjour
[22:22] <ikonia> ironmedic: yahoo works fine on firefox/ubuntu here
[22:22] <Uplink> mgolisch: it gives me error if i try (hd0,0)
[22:22] <McBanhammer> Yo.
[22:22] <hanspeter> okay vincent_ : Learn to use the man pages!
[22:22] <mgolisch> Uplink: yeah use rootnoverify for the windows entry
[22:22] <subtotal> any plans to incorporate LVM into ubuntu install?
[22:22] <joebodo> ironmedic do any websites work ?
[22:22] <McBanhammer> Im trying to code a simple "Hello world" message, and Im failing pretty hard. Anyone feel like helpin?
[22:22] <fryguy> Frogging101: run a partition manager of your choice that supports GPT and convert all of our partitions to it.  It's probably not practical for you though because windows doesn't support them correctly, so your best course of action is the other thing that i suggested
[22:22] <dominique> je voudrais savoir dans quel répertoire sont stockés les clés GPG des dépots
[22:22] <ikonia> !fr > dominique
[22:22] <Uplink> mgolisch: what line
[22:22] <izaak> erUSUL: you were right, parted supports GPT! thanks
[22:22] <vincent_> YEEAAH!
[22:23] <Frogging101> fryguy: what was that?
[22:23] <hanspeter> dominique: C#est pas francais ici! It's english ;)
[22:23] <erUSUL> izaak: XD
[22:23] <mgolisch> Uplink: in the windows entry change root (hd0,1) to rootnoverify (hd0,0) asuming windows is installed on the first partition
[22:23] <Uplink> mgolisch: line 153? replace "root" for "rootnoverify" ???
[22:23] <Shadowboltshurt> how do i turn on fbo?
[22:23] <fryguy> Frogging101: use an extended partition, which is part of the standard dos partitioning scheme
[22:23] <Frogging101> fryguy: can that be done with gparted
[22:23] <fryguy> Frogging101: yes
[22:24] <Frogging101> fryguy: can that have any bad effects? and is there anything I should be careful of while creating an extended partition?
[22:24] <t3hsteve> if gprated says that my c drive is full and i know its not do i need gpt to make a seperate partiton from windows/
[22:25] <McBanhammer> When Im trying to compile a hello world in anjuta, Im getting the message "No rule to make target "Hello" stop"
[22:25] <ironmedic> i dont know whats wrong with yahoo?? i cant even download off the site.  the site does not work on linux/ubuntu or pidgin
[22:25] <ment05> hallo all
[22:25] <ikonia> McBanhammer: you have no make file
[22:25] <McBanhammer> Im a newb, what do I do?
[22:25] <ikonia> McBanhammer: read the documentation
[22:25] <cdavis> I don't see the alternate install iso for Intrepid? Are things like encrypted HD installation all on a single iso now?
[22:25] <ikonia> McBanhammer: this channel is for ubuntu support.
[22:26] <fryguy> Frogging101: no bad effects, be careful not to delete partitions that you need
[22:26] <ironmedic> ikonia:  are there any issues with linux and yahoo?  it works fine on windows xp but not linux
[22:26] <ment05> is anyone able to tell me what should i do in order my logitech qickcam deluxe for notebook to be working with Ubuntu?
[22:26] <t3hsteve> ban hammer
[22:26] <t3hsteve> if gprated says that my c drive is full and i know its not do i need gpt to make a seperate partiton from windows/
[22:26] <ikonia> ironmedic: no there are not
[22:26] <Frogging101> fryguy: so what I need to do is create an extended partition and use it as a swap space
[22:26] <Frogging101> ?
[22:26] <ironmedic> i dont know what to do?  anything related to yahoo does not work anymore on linux. i cant find the answer
[22:26] <kansan> if i'm installing subversion from source do i first need to eliminate the ubuntu package version?

[22:27] <dragoon> Has anyone used Evolution's WebDAV Contacts? I have the contacts being saved to the webdav share, but it doesn't see them
[22:27] <McBanhammer> Can someone tell me how to fix my connection speed in Ubuntu? Whenever I try to dl something, it comes in at 45k instead of the normal 100 mbs. Its a problem.
[22:28] <ikonia> McBanhammer: I'd be surprised if you have 100mbs
[22:28] <dragoon> ment05, what problem are you having with ekiga?
[22:28] <ikonia> McBanhammer: is this interest or ethernet lan
[22:28] <subtotal> any plans to incorporate LVM into ubuntu install?
[22:28] <joebodo> iconia 45k is a far cry from 100mb
[22:28] <ikonia> joelpet: yes I know
[22:28] <t3hsteve> if gprated says that my c drive is full and i know its not do i need gpt enabled partitioner to make a seperate partiton from windows?
[22:28] <uvacav> joebodo: why do you think you should get 100mb/s? who is your service provider?
[22:29] <joebodo> mcBanhammer wired connection - right ?
[22:29] <McBanhammer> Yeah
[22:29] <uvacav> oops
[22:29] <ironmedic> im about to dump ubuntu because im sick of these issues with yahoo and ubuntu.
[22:29] <ikonia> ironmedic: ok
[22:29] <joebodo> uvacav he never said internet - he could be download from a local network
[22:29] <McBanhammer> I had a dl average of 100mbs on speedtest.net
[22:29] <McBanhammer> in windows
[22:29] <McBanhammer> Its 34k in ubuntu..
[22:30] <mgolisch> mostlikely crappy wlan driver

[22:31] <joebodo> adi_ it works, you just have to screw around with it - look at the link also
[22:31] <Frogging101> fryguy: It says that a extended partition is also a primary partition, and it might be necessary to remove a primary one first
[22:31] <McBanhammer> Hmm. Could someone explain "Sudo apt-get" to me?
[22:31] <McBanhammer> I use the crap out of it and I dont understand its structure
[22:31] <ikonia> McBanhammer: super user permissions, apt-get is the package manager interface
[22:31] <limecat> McBanhammer: sudo is a standard command that stands for super user do
[22:31] <joebodo> !apt-get
[22:32] <ment05> sorry, got disconncted. My problem with ekig ais i don't know where to start to make a call

[22:32] <adi_> kernel version and now it seems not to work
[22:32] <limecat> McBanhammer: if your computer ever tells you no, and you are sure it is something you want, use sudo [command] and it will do it, as demonstrated here http://xkcd.com/149/
[22:32] <joebodo> !skype | adi_
[22:32] <McBanhammer> Does anyone here have experience with Anjunta?
[22:33] <mgolisch> McBanhammer: only a litle bit
[22:33] <Frogging101> fryguy: It says that a extended partition is also a primary partition, and it might be necessary to remove a primary one first
[22:33] <mgolisch> McBanhammer: i was able to build some gnome/gtk apps with it
[22:33] <mgolisch> Frogging101: yeah thats true
[22:33] <subtotal> any developers here?
[22:33] <t3hsteve> http://www.megarotic.com/?d=T3KN7KM9
[22:33] <t3hsteve> oh shi

[22:34] <Wisp> irc.slackware.net
[22:34] <ikonia> subtotal: just ask the question
[22:34] <subtotal> any plans to incorporate LVM into ubuntu install?
[22:34] <ikonia> subtotal: it's in the alterntive cd
[22:34] <mgolisch> isnt it allready?
[22:34] <finalphase> Whats the x11vnc command to make it so instead of joining on http://ubuntu:5800 I make it so if im at a remote computer and type http://creeperr.ath.cx:5800 itll connect
[22:34] <alesan> my mother said the new background is disgusting, it looks like some spilled wine
[22:34] <dragoon> ment05, are you trying to make calls to the telephone network? POTS or PTSN, regular phone numbers? Or trying to call sip addresses?
[22:34] <subtotal> oh it is? what's the deal with the alt cd anyway?
[22:35] <Jatz> hey guys, my USB joystiq isn't recognized in ubuntu, and it comes up fine on my other linux(not ubuntu) box. dmesg says "unable to enumerate USB Device on port 1" about 80 odd times
[22:35] <ikonia> subtotal: what do you mean what's the deal ?
[22:35] <Jatz> *joystick
[22:35] <ikonia> subtotal: it's an alternative cd
[22:35] <t3hsteve> I am having trouble getting gparted to work
[22:35] <kansan> im trying to build subversion from source... but its giving me the message:  libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libneon.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libneon.la' but i do have /usr/lib/libneon.a  ... what do i need to do?
[22:35] <mgolisch> subtotal: its for advanced installations, and uses the debian text installer
[22:35] <subtotal> right but why not just have everything in one cd... ahh ok advanced
[22:35] <subtotal> gotcha
[22:35] <ikonia> kansan: use the package version in the ubuntu repos
[22:35] <meshach> Hey, does anyone know how to execute a python script as a program?
[22:35] <joebodo> !joystick
[22:35] <mgolisch> kansan: install the neccesary build time dependecies?
[22:35] <ikonia> meshach: ./python sciprt
[22:35] <Jatz> joebodo: thanks anyway, XD
[22:35] <Frogging101> mgolisch: My original problem was that I wanted a swap space, but I have too many partitions. All the partitions are mandatory for Windows and Ubuntu, so I can't get rid of any. how can i put in a swap space?
[22:35] <finalphase> Whats the x11vnc command to make it so instead of joining on http://ubuntu:5800 I make it so if im at a remote computer and type http://creeperr.ath.cx:5800 itll connect
[22:36] <meshach> ikonia: Where would I put that command?
[22:36] <joebodo> jatz i tried :)
[22:36] <mgolisch> kansan: its configure script should have checked for that usualy unlkess its broken
[22:36] <ikonia> meshach: where the script is
[22:36] <Frogging101> !partition
[22:36] <meshach> oh ok, I'll try that
[22:36] <Jatz> joebodo: I remember it worked on 7.04 a while back, but now nothing >_>
[22:36] <Frogging101> !swap
[22:36] <Jatz> anyway, time to hit the google again
[22:36] <kansan> mgolisch, configure script had no problems
[22:36] <mgolisch> Frogging101: you cant, unless you delete one partition and make it an extened one, but you should have done that before installtion, you can alternatively use a swap file instead
[22:37] <Frogging101> mgolisch: What's a swap file
[22:37] <ikonia> kansan: the dep is found but the library is not the right version from the short output you've given
[22:37] <Frogging101> and how do i make one
[22:37] <nexiv> how do i activate the back/forward buttons on my mouse?
[22:37] <meshach> ikonia: I tried that and it says
[22:37] <meshach> ikonia: I tried that and it says "Cannot find ./python"
[22:37] <kansan> ikonia, so what do i need to do?
[22:37] <ikonia> kansan: better to use the version in the ubuntu repo's
[22:37] <rex0r> Hi. Just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I'm trying to configure the network. The documentation tells me there should be a tool at system > administration > network settings but this doesn't appear in my menu. Any ideas?
[22:38] <ikonia> meshach: python scriptname
[22:38] <schnoowork> anyone know a good tutorial on how to setup lamp on ubuntu desktop edition for ibex ? i did it how i usually do but it seems abit off :\
[22:38] <ikonia> schnoowork: install mysql-server, php5 and apache2 - job done
[22:38] <limecat> finalphase, you still need help?
[22:38] <Frogging101> !swapfile
[22:38] <Frogging101> argh
[22:38] <meshach> rex0r: go to preferences>network configuration
[22:38] <joebodo> nexiv you could try imwheel - that seems to be the solution that's offered for the back/forward buttnos
[22:38] <Ruby_Fulcrum> Hi.  I have a bunch of crufty filenames that didn't translate well to utf8 involving lots of ? and such which break any attempt to make backup discs with them.  Is there a program that can easily sanitize those all please?
[22:39] <idefine> hi, I am trying to set controls for a directory, but seem to be running into some trouble. I would like to make a directory rwx by the group, so when users create new files in the directory they are by default rwx for the whole group. how do i do this?>
[22:39] <finalphase> limecat: Yes =(
[22:39] <finalphase> limecat: Whats the x11vnc command to make it so instead of joining on http://ubuntu:5800 I make it so if im at a remote computer and type http://creeperr.ath.cx:5800 itll connect
[22:39] <Frogging101> mgolisch: What's a swap file
[22:39] <Randall1> hi, wondering how to unistall an outdated graphics driver
[22:39] <ikonia> Randall1: what driver ?
[22:39] <adi_> joebodo | any idea how to screw around with skype playback sound and interpid?
[22:39] <meshach> adi_: You should ask in the forums
[22:39] <mgolisch> Frogging101: its a file thats beeing used as swap space instead of a partition
[22:40] <Frogging101> mgolisch: how do I make one?
[22:40] <schnoowork> ikonia, i got that working but some wierdness with my folder structures not working.
[22:40] <rex0r> meshach: that's where I change DHCP settings? The instructions say I should be looking for a tabbed menu w/ 'connections' 'general' 'dns' and 'hosts'
[22:40] <limecat> nexiv: theres a really cool alternative to imwheel that seems to get all buttons and mice, and gives a lot of freedom in configuration--but i cant recall it offhand.  Ill send you a pm if i rememger its name
[22:40] <Randall1> ikonia: a Nvidia Geforce4: MX 420 the main issue is that GLX module or something like that isn't loading upon reboot after i enable it through "hardware drivers"
[22:40] <joebodo> adi_ make sure you have mic boost enabed (volume control->preferences) and change capture device until you find one that works - you can test by doing a test call
[22:40] <fuxxy> I just installed ubuntu version 8.10, and it seems the only version of mythtv included in the package manager is 0.21. My existing backend is running version 0.20, how can I install a the 0.20 frontend on this new box?
[22:40] <ghost3> where is the setting in network manger for ppp connections?
[22:40] <limecat> finalphase: you need to use DDNS (dynamic DNS), your firewall may support this
[22:40] <ikonia> Randall1: you know certain old cards arn't supported under 8.10
[22:41] <ikonia> schnoowork: such as ?
[22:41] <joebodo> adi_ you select the capture device from the skype options
[22:41] <rex0r> (the volume on this channel is insane btw)
[22:41] <adi_> ok thanks
[22:41] <meshach> rex0r: What instructions are you reading?
[22:41] <limecat> finalphase: you will also need to sign up for a ddns account at dyndns.org or no-ip.org, and port forward port 5800 to your computer.  You will also need a static IP
[22:41] <meshach> rex0r: please link me to them
[22:41] <Schuenemann> how can I know if my computer (pentium 4) is using its hyper threading?
[22:41] <joebodo> !dialup
[22:41] <finalphase> limecat: Im using dyndns.org for a Dynamic DNS its, creeper.ath.cx, then I forwarded ports 5800 / 5900 / 5901 through my Router, but when I go to the living room and type http://creeperr.ath.cx:5800 it wont connect
[22:41] <Frogging101> How do I make a swap file?
[22:41] <mgolisch> Frogging101: tried google?
[22:41] <alesan> do you have any idea why there is no "shutdown" option anymore?
[22:41] <rex0r> meshach: the help files on Ubunti introduction to the desktop -> configuring your desktop -> internet and network
[22:42] <ikonia> alesan: click on your username on the top bar
[22:42] <Frogging101> mgolisch: good idea...
[22:42] <meshach> alesan: There is in the upper right corner
[22:42] <joebodo> finalphase you need to test from outside your network
[22:42] <ghost3> out of date docs
[22:42] <meshach> rex0r: please send me link, busy atm.
[22:42] <finalphase> joebodo: I do, living room computer is on a diff ISP
[22:42] <ikonia> Frogging101: sounds like a router issue
[22:42] <Frogging101> iknonia: what?
[22:42] <ikonia> Frogging101: sorry, not you
[22:43] <Scorcher> does anyone have wireless slowness issues?
[22:43] <Frogging101> okay
[22:43] <joebodo> finalphase you have 2 isps in your house ?
[22:43] <Scorcher> maybe a different driver i can get?
[22:43] <Uplink> how can i filter my ls results?
[22:43] <Randall1> how do i make the GLX module load
[22:43] <mgolisch> Randall1: grep ?
[22:43] <ikonia> Randall1: your using 8.10 ?
[22:43] <mgolisch> ups
[22:43] <finalphase> joebodo: Yes, Shaw for my own computer / Xbox (Lan-T1) and Telus for the rest of the house computers
[22:43] <mgolisch> Uplink: i mean
[22:43] <Frogging101> where should I put a swap file?
[22:43] <mgolisch> :)
[22:44] <mgolisch> Frogging101: somewhere on your root partition
[22:44] <Uplink> like for example "ls /media/hd1/" and i want all exe to be displayed
[22:44] <ikonia> Randall1: did you read what I said about older cards not being supported in 8.10 ?
[22:44] <Randall1> mgolisch: run that?
[22:44] <mgolisch> Randall1: nope, i meant uplink
[22:44] <meshach> when you type into the terminal, what language are you programming?
[22:44] <mgolisch> :)
[22:44] <Frogging101> mgolisch: root partition? I only have one ubuntu partition with a mount point of /
[22:44] <Frogging101> mgolisch: file system ext3
[22:45] <mgolisch> Frogging101: yeah that one, put it somewhere on there, maybe as /swap or so
[22:45] <Randall1> ikonia: yes 8.10 and yes i read the release notes but it looks like nvidia released a driver for it as one shows up in "hardware drivers"
[22:45] <AlanBShepard70> Anyone know how to get an internal memorystick pro duo reader working? dmesg shows that a card has been inserted but it never mounts. How can I manually mount it? dmesg output is [  797.740037] tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:1
[22:45] <pfo> are there packaged GHC 6.10 .debs for ubuntu available?
[22:45] <Randall1> mgolisch: sorry explain?
[22:45] <ikonia> Randall1: no that means nothing
[22:45] <ikonia> Randall1: check if your card IS supported in 8.10
[22:45] <meshach> AlanBShepard70: You should ask in the forums for that type of question..
[22:45] <schnoowork> ikonia, well i can go to localhost/ but if i go to localhost/index.php it tries to download the file instead of display it. I have some folders which dont show other folders (although im guessing that could be permissions)
[22:45] <Frogging101> mgolisch: so... in a folder called swap in my / directory?
[22:45] <bzaks> What's the service that's used to make your computer have sound again?
[22:45] <ikonia> schnoowork: you need to enable the php5 module
[22:45] <cwill747> bzaks: what's your sound proglem?
[22:46] <mgolisch> Frogging101: o just name the file swap it doesnt need a own directory
[22:46] <joebodo> !sound
[22:46] <Randall1> ikonia: where would i check that
[22:46] <ikonia> Randall1: in the release notes you said you'd read
[22:46] <bzaks> "no volume control gstreamer plugin"
[22:46] <bzaks> something or other
[22:46] <Bupsss> i'm trying to post the question here :P
[22:46] <Bupsss> does anybody knows where to look in the gdm sources for the userlist at the login screen?
[22:46] <cwill747> !sound > bzaks
[22:46] <Uplink> mgolisch: guess what? LoL
[22:46] <Frogging101> mgolisch: thanks, i am just really cautious after I accidentally made my windows partition a swap space, i lost everything
[22:47] <AlanBShepard70> meshach: I've been scouring the forums for an hour and nothing, I was just hoping someone here would have the latest info on that.  The forum post relating to the issue seem to be stagnant and I figured posting a new topic that's a repeat would be a bad idea.
[22:47] <bzaks> cwill747: it won't even open volume control
[22:47] <joebodo> Frogging101 thats a better use for the partition anyhow
[22:47] <meshach> AlanBShepard70: May I recommend you create a new topic?
[22:47] <cwill747> bzaks: did you look on the troubleshooting page?
[22:47] <Frogging101> joebodo: no, not if I store ALL MY DATA there
[22:47] <Randall1> ikonia: well i think my card falls in that category but a driver is showing up in "hardware drivers" now that wasn't before...just when i restart it tells me it needs to go into low graphics mode and that like GLX module failed to load
[22:47] <girao> ubuntu pt
[22:48] <sensiva> Hello all, I want some help in configuring fstab for USB external harddrive (fat32 and NTFS partitions)
[22:48] <Uplink> mgolisch: i fixed the problem lol
[22:48] <ikonia> Randall1: if your card is not supported, it doesn't matter that a driver is showing up in hardware manager
[22:48] <DetroitLibertyPe> does anybody know why when I edited my X11.config to allow the scroll buttons on my trackball to work, then Xubuntu would not shut down properly?
[22:48] <AlanBShepard70> meshach: If you say that's the way to go that's what I'll do. I don't really have a choice. I'm in a bit of a pinch but there seems to be no alternative.
[22:48] <Scorcher> does anyone have wireless slowness issues?
[22:48] <Scorcher> maybe a different driver i can get?
[22:49] <cwill747> !wifi | Scorcher
[22:49] <joebodo> Scorcher mines slow also
[22:49] <Randall1> ikonia: so happen to know if Geforce4: MX 420 is supported
[22:49] <ikonia> Randall1: READ the document you said you had
[22:49] <meshach> AlanBShepard70: I wish you luck on finding the information you need.
[22:49] <mgolisch> Randall1: by the legacy driver maybe
[22:49] <mgolisch> Randall1: that card is quite old
[22:49] <AlanBShepard70> meshach: Thanks, much appreciated.
[22:49] <girao> #ubuntu-pt
[22:50] <meshach> AlanBShepard70: If you want to talk about ubuntu just PM me on the forum.
[22:50] <Randall1> mgolisch: exactly, which is why i was wondering if it was supported because in the release notes i assumed that nvidia had not realesed one for it but that now they had
[22:50] <Frogging101> I don't understand something in the swap file command: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/512Mb.swap bs=1M count=512
[22:50] <Frogging101> what does /dev/zero signify?
[22:50] <uvacav> any way to stop gnome-panel from automatically restarting when i kill it?
[22:50] <girao> kurumin pt
[22:50] <AlanBShepard70> meshach: Ok.
[22:50] <Randall1> also my x-server randomly crashes and restarts and brings me back to the login menu how can i figure out what is wrong
[22:50] <meshach> AlanBShepard70: my name is the same on the forum as on here.
[22:51] <girao> #kurumin-pt
[22:51] <AlanBShepard70> meshach: Ok.
[22:51] <joebodo> uvacav why do you want to kill it ?
[22:51] <Schuenemann> how can I know if my computer (pentium 4) is using its hyper threading?
[22:51] <rex0r> meshach: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/internet-basic-procedure.html are the instructions I am reading
[22:52] <ikonia> Schuenemann: does cat /proc/cpuinfo show 2 cpu's
[22:52] <Frogging101> I don't understand something in the swap file command: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/512Mb.swap bs=1M count=512
[22:52] <Frogging101> what does /dev/zero and /mnt/512Mb.swap signify?
[22:52] <uvacav> joebodo: because i want to be able to start it with g-inspector
[22:52] <fuxxy_> How can I install a version of a package older than the one currently available?
[22:52] <Schuenemann> ikonia, only 1. And lshw shows one as disabled
[22:52] <ikonia> Schuenemann: sounds like it's not being used
[22:53] <mgolisch> Frogging101: /dev/zero is a special device that returns zeros, the other one is the output file dd writes count*bs into
[22:53] <meshach> rex0r: So you are running 8.04?
[22:53] <Schuenemann> ikonia, here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/71112/
