[11:13] <crackheadjunky> erUSUL, k done
[11:14] <killaz> the installation of ubuntu is broken..
[11:14] <GCtoday> Brilliant thanks again.
[11:14] <MAD_da_Great> hey i hav mint linux
[11:14] <arquebus> is it possible to download linux software from the internet and install it on ubuntu? or does ubuntu only accept software from the repositorys?
[11:14] <MAD_da_Great> i dunno how to use wireless networks
[11:14] <MAD_da_Great> help
[11:14] <MAD_da_Great> plz
[11:14] <MAD_da_Great> any one??
[11:14] <killaz> I'm getting this problem: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[11:14] <erUSUL> !ask | MAD_da_Great
[11:14] <ubotu> MAD_da_Great: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[11:14] <erUSUL> !wifi | MAD_da_Great
[11:14] <ubotu> MAD_da_Great: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:14] <bazhang> arquebus: possible but best to check repos first
[11:15] <MAD_da_Great> thank you .. will check that
[11:15] <arquebus> ok, thx bazhang, but do you know of any docs that tell how to do it?
[11:15] <killaz> Anyone of you have this installation problem??
[11:15] <nox-Hand> I am installing Hardy, but I'd like to make a backup of my Gutsy before upgrading. How would best make a backup of that partition?
[11:15] <bazhang> arquebus: you mean compile sources or something else?
[11:15] <killaz> I read alot of posts but no solution...
[11:15] <Finnish> ubotu: It does nothing, gives me a message : overwriting possibly-customized...
[11:15] <erUSUL> killaz: fd0 is the floppy disk afaik no needed to install
[11:16] <arquebus> yes, compile source or binarys
[11:16] <arquebus> to ubuntu
[11:16] <erUSUL> Finnish: yes it does create a new xorg.conf file to test it restart X
[11:16] <nox-Hand> killaz: fd0 is indeed just Floppy drive, not a problem
[11:16] <killaz> erUSUL: it show this error and then stops the installation..
[11:16] <killaz> so there is a problem..
[11:17] <arquebus> there is commericial software for linux, I dont imagine that would come as source
[11:17] <nox-Hand> !backup
[11:17] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[11:17] <killaz> otherwise it wouldn't stop..... with stop I mean shows me a black screen..
[11:18] <bazhang> arquebus: you can get deb files or compile both are possible; the deb can be double-clicked and the compile requires you to install build-essential from the repos; the instructions usually come with the source file
[11:18] <crackheadjunky> erUSUL, i think that got it... thanks
[11:18] <tux97> hi
[11:18] <msingh> i  cant play dvds
[11:18] <saminthemiddle> hey, want to hear a laugh? I'm trying to tweak my power consumption and ACPI is currently the main cause for processor wakes!
[11:19] <Lamego> arquebus, comercial software is usually provided on the binary form, you just need to unpack and execute it
[11:19] <bazhang> got to go; be back later
[11:19] <killaz> how is it possible a bug like this can be left in the installation?
[11:20] <Finnish> erUSUL: And then?
[11:20] <arquebus> ok, thx bazhang, I thought that apt-get handled deb files for you, so that you dont have to fool with dependencys. And there is commerical software for linux, I dont think that would come as source or deb files
[11:20] <roddersg> anyone here fluent with nfs I need to know how to map the uid on the server to my uid on the client
[11:20] <Lamego> arquebus, apt handles repositories, you mau have standalone .deb files, those will not be managed by apt
[11:21] <Seveas> roddersg, there's no 'mapping', you must make sure they're the same
[11:21] <arquebus> ok, thx Lamego
[11:21] <roddersg> how do you make them the same?
[11:21] <crackheadjunky> next question, i have realtek high definition sound, why is it so quiet? I cant turn it up loud?
[11:21] <roddersg> 2 different systems, 2 different uids, is there a mount option?
[11:22] <Seveas> roddersg, no
[11:23] <crackheadjunky> can someone help me with alsa?
[11:24] <roddersg> I remember reading somewhere there was a static-map but that was for a redhat version
[11:24] <erUSUL> Finnish: i told yu to restart  and test the new X configuration. Crlt + Alt + backspace should do it
[11:24] <crackheadjunky> i have realtek sound, and i can hear sounds, but I cant turn it up loud like it should be able...
[11:25] <Finnish> erUSUL: Yeah, I did it
[11:25] <Finnish> It was no different
[11:25] <erUSUL> Finnish: and is the new conf the one you want?
[11:25] <Finnish> No
[11:25] <hspaans> roddersg: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=linux+nfs4+uid+map <-- this is what you're looking for
[11:25] <Finnish> I can't see the conf
[11:25] <erUSUL> Finnish: what is exactly the probelm? resolution?
[11:25] <Finnish> Yeah
[11:26] <roddersg> hspaans: looking at this http://man.he.net/man5/exports
[11:26] <Finnish> And windows are white/sluggish
[11:26] <crackheadjunky> I will ask later, thanks guys
[11:26] <rinaldi_> erUSUL: omg thankyou for that recovery thing, saved my life. Now i just have to file through the thousands of unnamed files for my document. I'm finding things here from years ago I completely forgot about.

[11:27] <kamil> I have a problem with my printer configutarion (HP desket 5150 behind EDIMAX print server)
[11:27] <erUSUL> rinaldi_: glasd to be of help; good luck
[11:27] <Finnish> I'm on Kubuntu
[11:27] <Finnish> So where is that?
[11:28] <sinbox> how can I make a hidden file not a hidden folder ? (I can view it in nautilus when selecting "view hidden files and folders", but there is no reason why it should be hidden)
[11:29] <kamil> Does anybody know how to configure printers behind print server ?
[11:29] <erUSUL> Finnish: dunno i use gnome? maybe there is no equivalent... you can ask in #kubuntu
[11:30] <MenZa> sinbox: What folder/file is this?
[11:30] <balle> i'm having trouble transferring data to my cellfone, any help please?
[11:31] <jtravnick> there used to be a site that would ask you some questions to help you decied what distro would work best for you anybody know the add?
[11:31] <moonlight> hello
[11:32] <moonlight> how is possible to play .flac ? I can't play the .flac in movie player ..
[11:32] <MenZa> !offtopic | jtravnick
[11:32] <ubotu> jtravnick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:32] <MenZa> Really, moonlight? I think FLAC should be supported out of the box.
[11:32] <balle> how do i access my phone via USB?
[11:32] <Adpad> How does one remove Gnome and install KDE ??
[11:32] <erUSUL> moonlight: flac is an audio format all audio players should play them
[11:33] <MenZa> Adpad: Installing KDE is easy: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. I don't know exactly how you'd remove all of GNOME.
[11:33] <MenZa> erUSUL: Totem plays audio as well.
[11:33] <MenZa> (the movie player)
[11:33] <inqui> Adpad: removing gnome was a mess, while i tried it!
[11:33] <erUSUL> Adpad: the later installing kubuntu-desktop meta-package the former really hard and you have to do it yourself by hand
[11:33] <moonlight> erUSUL , MenZa: i have here an file with .flac extension , his size is 300Mb
[11:33] <erUSUL> MenZa: yep
[11:33] <sinbox> MenZa, it's a folder with audio files on a secondary drive (formatted ntfs) that came out of my old windows machine
[11:33] <Adpad> is it a problem to leave Gnome on and install KDE?
[11:33] <MenZa> sinbox: What's the name of the folder?
[11:34] <erUSUL> moonlight: double click on it totem should play it just fine
[11:34] <inqui> Adpad: worked for me
[11:34] <erUSUL> Adpad: no
[11:34] <MenZa> Adpad: Not at all.
[11:34] <Adpad> How does the system 'know' into which to boot? :D
[11:34] <MenZa> You choose on login.
[11:34] <erUSUL> Adpad: only wasted diskspace i guess
[11:34] <sinbox> MenZa: 01 - New This Week [Starting March 23rd 2008]  ^ ~
[11:34] <Adpad> cool
[11:34] <moonlight> erUSUL, totem say : could not play the file ..
[11:34] <inqui> Adpad:  sessionmanager
[11:34] <balle> how do i access my phone via USB?
[11:34] <moonlight> there is no plugin to handle this movie
[11:34] <Adpad> thanks :)
[11:35] <sinbox> MenZa, it was originally called: ~ ^ New This Week [Starting March 23rd 2008]  ^ ~
[11:35] <MenZa> sinbox: Odd. To my knowledge, only files/folders prefixed with "." should be hidden.
[11:35] <erUSUL> moonlight: what does «file filename» says? sometimes file extensions are wrong
[11:36] <moonlight> erUSUL,  i use movie player
[11:36] <moonlight> not totem..
[11:36] <moonlight> =]
[11:36] <moonlight> sorry
[11:36] <MenZa> moonlight: the movie player _is_ Totem.
[11:36] <toxicen> Hello. I have a little problem. Tryed to look on the web but havent fint any thing useful. im a total noob in ubuntu. Its just that my Nvidia drivers do not save when i restart my computer. I installed the driver manuly. Any idea's?
[11:36] <sinbox> MenZa, I also tried to change ownership as it is currently owned by root but it just won't have it, then again it's only a minor annoyance so I guess I'll have to ignore it for now
[11:36] <MenZa> toxicen: Why did you install the driver manually?
[11:37] <MenZa> sinbox: Sounds like it might be mounted strangely. What are your fstab flags (if any)?
[11:37] <algyz> moogmusic:  sudo apt-get install libflac++-dev libflac8
[11:37] <toxicen> Its Geforce 8600 and not supported by ubuntu
[11:37] <Lamego> toxicen, you should use the repositories driver, unless you have a very strong reason to do a manuall installation
[11:37] <MenZa> toxicen: That's supported by nvidia-glx-new.
[11:38] <toxicen> you sure ? since the only way i could get my card to work was to install it manual..
[11:38] <algyz> toxicen:  install not manually, but with apt-get, it's better
[11:38] <toxicen> 8600m GS
[11:38] <algyz> toxicen:  manual install not for total noobs ;)
[11:38] <MenZa> !info nvidia-glx-new | toxicen
[11:38] <ubotu> toxicen: nvidia-glx-new (source: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (<IP_ADDRESS>-14.10)): NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 100.14.19+<IP_ADDRESS>-14.10 (gutsy), package size 4896 kB, installed size 14848 kB
[11:38] <balle> how do i access my phone via USB?
[11:38] <erUSUL> MenZa: afaics 8xxx series are not supported by nvida-glx...
[11:38] <sinbox> MenZa, how do I see the fstab flags?  it is automounted at boot via ntfs3g
[11:38] <MenZa> sinbox: It's in /etc/fstab
[11:39] <toxicen> well maby not manually not really sure. But jsut follow all howto:
[11:39] <pushkal> no sound out here.. can someone help ?
[11:39] <inqui> got EN 8500 gt - tried also glx-new stuff ..-- the  EE massage is always, that the device is not correct initialized
[11:39] <algyz> inqui:  did you install manually before?
[11:39] <MenZa> toxicen: Try the Restricted Driver manager?
[11:39] <inqui> well could be ;D i tried 10 different ways
[11:40] <sinbox> menza: /dev/hdd2 /media/Store_1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0
[11:40] <algyz> Yes, restricted are the best choice
[11:40] <toxicen> Well my card is there. But it unchecks it self every reboot
[11:40] <algyz> inqui:  if you tried manually before, then you should always install like this
[11:40] <toxicen> So i have to reinstall it
[11:40] <pushkal> i cant hear a thing over here guys.. someone please help !
[11:40] <inqui> restricted driver => that means i have to download stuff from Enviviqa?
[11:40] <algyz> inqui:  say thanks for card producers
[11:40] <Eugeneus> Hi all! Had anyone succeded in starting compiz with ATI X1300 ?
[11:41] <MenZa> inqui: Envi? What? No.
[11:41] <algyz> inqui:  sudo restricted-manager
[11:41] <lartza_> Hi! Is there any multiplayer game runt from telnet or MUD client that is ascii and not text-based?
[11:41] <inqui> envy tool? => no
[11:41] <sinbox> MenZa: /dev/hdd2 /media/Store_1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0
[11:41] <inqui> envy did not work
[11:41] <toxicen> Anyhow MenZa. Is there any easy solution to it? Just like save it some how? =P
[11:41] <algyz> inqui:  did you install manually before? :)
[11:42] <MenZa> toxicen: I've not heard of it unticking itself, actually
[11:42] <inqui> i tried a package from envidia
[11:42] <Toma-> is there a way to import photos directly in evolution?
[11:42] <algyz> inqui:  then continue
[11:42] <Adpad> I'm really battling with this: unable to get the system to work with any video drivers other than vesa drivers.  I have a GeForce 6600GT.  I have tried apt-get install, xorg reconfigure, manually editing the sync modes, restricted drivers, and Envy.  When I start, I either get a blue screen or "No Signal" until I restore the xorg config with the vesa driver enabled..
[11:42] <lartza_> Hi! Is there any multiplayer game runt from telnet or MUD client that is ascii and not text-based?
[11:42] <clover2203> how to uninstall all  sound drivers ?? <i dont have sound>
[11:43] <algyz> Adpad:  don't configure manually
[11:43] <algyz> Adpad:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[11:43] <Adpad> ok
[11:43] <MenZa> sinbox: try changing that to /dev/hdd2/ /media/Store_1 ntfs-3g user,rw,exec,sync,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0
[11:43] <inqui> ... but pls explain beforehand what this "restricted driver " enabling does
[11:43] <Adpad> i have tried the nvidia-xconfig algyz :(
[11:43] <clover2203> *how to uninstall all  sound drivers ?? <i dont have sound>*
[11:43] <algyz> inqui:  it will download and install drivers
[11:43] <Pici> !sound > clover2203 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[11:43] <hspaans> Toma-: for what reason? Evolution is a PIM not a photo manager
[11:44] <Toma-> hspaans? parents are constantly requesting me attach a photo from the camera so they can send it
[11:44] <algyz> Adpad:  maybe you should try #nvidia?
[11:44] <Adpad> is there a need/way for me to specify that I'm using a DVI monitor?
[11:44] <inqui> algyz: thx
[11:44] <Toma-> and hence, i have reached my limit of sane support
[11:44] <balle> do i have to "mount" external hard drives in order to access them?
[11:44] <Adpad> thanks, I will
[11:44] <hspaans> Toma-: buy them a Mac
[11:44] <erUSUL> balle: most of them mount automatically
[11:45] <Toma-> hspaans? youre trolling?
[11:45] <sinbox> MenZa, done, will this take effect after  reboot or straight away?
[11:45] <balle> erusul: mine doestn it appears
[11:46] <clover2203> pici: the alsa mixer is selected but not with my sound card .. but some nvidia card which i dont have .
[11:46] <hspaans> Toma-: what do you think? and you're at the end of sane support ;-)
[11:46] <ricanelite> i just downloaded and installed zsnes and when i try to open it
[11:46] <ricanelite> it opens and then closes right up
[11:46] <MenZa> sinbox: Unmount, then mount again.
[11:46] <Pici> clover2203: Could it be your onboard sound?
[11:47] <MenZa> Adpad: Shouldn't be necessary.  Is there any multiplayer game runt from telnet or MUD client that is ascii and not text-based?
[11:48] <Adpad> anyone have an Nvidia GEFORCE 6600GT working in Ubuntu??
[11:49] <clover2203> pici: realtek drivers for my sound work on XP
[11:49] <algyz> Adpad:  did you try either sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new?
[11:50] <arquebus> anyone know where I enter my password for server login in xchat?
[11:50] <MenZa> arquebus: Surely under the "Server Password" field?
[11:50] <sinbox> MenZa, didn't change anything, but never mind I can live with it, thanks for trying
[11:50] <Adpad> algyz - I tried the nvidia-glx-new, yeah
[11:50] <Pici> clover2203: Make sure that your soundcard is selected from System>Preferences>Sound
[11:51] <MenZa> sinbox: well, you have read/write/execute access now, at least. :P
[11:51] <AldarHawk> Morning all.  I am having, once again WiFi problems.  I have a solid connection to my wireless router.  I have made my IP static and configured resolv.conf to work.  But I cannot hit anything outside. any thoughts?  I can hit the router and I have name servers set up that used to work before the wireless crash I experiance but not it is not working.
[11:51] <algyz> Adpad:  the easiest way is to use envy or restricted manager
[11:51] <MenZa> algyz: Do not recommend using envy, please.
[11:51] <MenZa> !envy | Adpad, algyz
[11:51] <ubotu> Adpad, algyz: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[11:51] <Adpad> algyz - Ive tried both of those
[11:51] <arquebus> MenZa, I cant find that field, the preferences only show a place to fill in my login name, not a server password
[11:51] <algyz> Adpad:  I think if you tried to install drivers manually, then you should continue doing this
[11:51] <Lamego> arquebus, there is a server password field on the server setup dialog
[11:52] <MenZa> What Lamego said, arquebus
[11:52] <clover2203> pici: cant i just uninstall all sound devices and reboot to c if ubuntu finds it
[11:52] <vallhalla81> !ssh
[11:52] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[11:52] <arquebus> ok, thx MenZa, I will check for that
[11:52] <algyz> Adpad: are you long time with ubuntu?
[11:52] <Adpad> nope, a few days
[11:52] <Adpad> but a few days spent on this problem
[11:52] <Adpad> it's making me want to quit though!
[11:52] <Adpad> :(
[11:53] <arquebus> thx Lamego also
[11:53] <algyz> Adpad:  the best way I think is to reinstall, then in fresh install just do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[11:53] <Pici> clover2203: Not really, Linux doesnt really work like that.  I suggest just asking some more in here, I'm not too great with troubleshooting sound issues, sorry :/
[11:53] <algyz> Adpad:  I would prefer doing like this
[11:53] <clover2203> pici: k.. thanx neways :)
[11:53] <algyz> Adpad:  afterwards sudo nvidia-xconfig
[11:53] <algyz> Adpad:  hope it will work
[11:54] <Adpad> algyz - yes, I did a clean install now.  All I've done so far is install nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-xconfig
[11:54] <Adpad> but still no luck
[11:54] <algyz> Adpad:  maybe first you downloaded drivers from nvidia?
[11:54] <lartza_> Hi! Is there any multiplayer game runt from telnet or MUD client that is ascii and not text-based?
[11:54] <Adpad> I was hoping to look at someone's xorg.conf
[11:54] <vallhalla81> sudo nvidia-settings have you tryed that?
[11:54] <algyz> Adpad:  after installing drivers you have to restart system
[11:54] <Adpad> yes, that just brings up the little GUI right?
[11:54] <Adpad> yes
[11:54] <rf232> i have trouble with mounting some filesystems
[11:55] <rf232> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6033/ is the output of mount -a
[11:55] <chazco> Hi... anyone know of an easy way to make an updated Gusty CD... all the updates that are needed after an install use up my download allowances... Also, anyone know if this will be better in Hardy?
[11:55] <algyz> Adpad:  did you restart the computer?
[11:55] <vallhalla81> Adpad: it should open a window to edit settings for your card if it does you have the drivers
[11:56] <Adpad> algyz - afraid so.. I've also tried some other stuff like editing the SYNC frequencies manually
[11:56] <balle> do i have to "mount" external hard drives in order to access them? i got a phone that i wanna transfer some files to...
[11:56] <bartmon> !dmraid | bartmon
[11:56] <MenZa> chazco: There'll always be updates.
[11:56] <MenZa> balle: Yes, you will have to mount an external drive to access it.
[11:56] <chazco> MenZa - True, but there are so many and in the UK most ISPs limit downloads...
[11:56] <chazco> Even with the apt archive backed up it doesnt really help
[11:56] <balle> Menza: is that just like regular mounting or what? and how can i see which drive to mount?
[11:57] <algyz> Adpad:  pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf into www.pastebin.ca and show the link
[11:57] <Adpad> ok
[11:57] <MenZa> balle: Just like regular mounting, yes. What are you trying to mount?
[11:57] <rf232> I have some trouble mounting my harddrives can sb help me
[11:57] <vallhalla81> balle: places/computer and click the drive you want open
[11:57] <Adpad> this is one of the latest xorg.conf:  http://paste.stgraber.org/1925
[11:58] <vallhalla81> Adpad: sorry i mised what card do you have?
[11:58] <Adpad> GeForce 6600GT, thanks guys
[11:58] <vallhalla81> Adpad: 1 sec i will give you a config file

[12:04] <piquadrat> Hi! How can I completly reinstall mysql? I obviously butchered my configuration, the server refuses to start. I already tried apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0, but it left over configuration files (and probabely other files). I don't want to remove mysql-common, since to many packages debend on it
[12:05] <Christoz> can anyone tell me what this command does? env | grep DISPLAY
[12:05] <MenZa> Christoz: Checks what display you're using.
[12:05] <MenZa> Christoz: More detailed, lists your environment variables, followed by grepping them (e.g. weeding everything else out) than DISPLAY.
[12:06] <vallhalla81> Adpad: if you need more help let me know
[12:06] <Adpad> thank you
[12:07] <Christoz> Menza DISPLAY=:0.0 what this result means?
[12:07] <MenZa> Christoz: It means you're using display 0.0
[12:07] <MenZa> e.g. you have one X server running (I believe)
[12:08] <Christoz> Menza what's the difference between 0.0 and 10.0 for example ...also display of desktop?

But I cannot hit anything outside. any thoughts?  I can hit the router and I have name servers set up that used to work before the wireless crash I experiance but not it is not working.
[12:14] <salah> Hello. I have made a little script for my computer to connect to wireless each time I start my computer: iwconfig eth1 essid "privat6DA3BA" (new line) iwconfig eth1 key 320612DA (new line) dhclient. And I also copied the file into /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc5.d/ . The wifi still don't connect. Any ideas?

[12:38] <schnootop> i was trying -R lol
[12:38] <jrib> schnootop: -R works too
[12:38] <jimqode> aetari1, most of the time it is about your ip, or your machine may be down for some reason. If you know how to forward a port in your modem (which i can't help because there are zillion models of them) then it should work.
[12:39] <schnootop> jrib, -R seemed to give me an error but i was using rmdir and not rm :\

[12:44] <EcoBlue> why am I running ubuntu
[12:44] <jimqode> aetari1, it may be. if you give me your ip i can try it from here.
[12:45] <geppo> i m sorry
[12:45] <neopsyche> is there any download manager that can limit the amount of speed a download takes on the network (must have GUI) ???
[12:45] <jrib> neopsyche: I don't know all the specs, that's why I said "try" :)
[12:45] <EcoBlue> aetari1: you got it easy, mine blocks everything but 80 and that is filtered by dansguardian
[12:45] <neopsyche> jrib, ok thanks
[12:46] <neopsyche> jrib, I was hoping someone would know of one that can do those things.
[12:46] <aetari1> jimqode, the dns is remotesys.org don't worry about 1253 people seeing it... they won't get in....:)
[12:46] <jrib> neopsyche: k
[12:46] <jimqode> aetari1, it is working
[12:46] <jimqode> aetari1, it must be your school firewall

[12:53] <sourcemaker> I have read that Kubuntu 8.04 Beta has been released... one of the new feature is to use an encrypted file system... Can I also encrypt only my home directory ? I think using a encrypted file system slows down the system.... right?
[12:54] <gauze_> sourcemaker: it will require additional overhead, sure
[12:54] <stefg> sourcemaker: you' re right, and running only /home encrypted is the reasonable route to take. There's not much secret about thesystem files on an opensource OS anyway
[12:54] <vallhalla81> hi all i need help configure my modemto forward port 22 to my local ip can any help please
[12:55] <gauze_> heh wazm was here
[12:57] <gauze_> ok I gotta roll to work, thus violating the ask your question and wait a while rule
[12:57] <sourcemaker> stefg: ok... should I also encrypt /var and /tmp?
[12:59] <gauze_> sourcemaker: without knowing more about it (never looked at fs encryption stuff) why not /etc before /var?
[12:59] <sourcemaker> gauze_: why should I encrypt configuration files?
[13:00] <gauze_> sourcemaker: /etc/shadow isn't important?
[13:00] <sourcemaker> gauze_: hm... ok... sure
[13:00] <stefg> sourcemaker: encrypted /tmp would be bad from perfomace point of view ... rather use a tmpfs for /tmp (although /tmp will still be unencrypted if the box wakes up from suspend/hibernate) . /var in general doesnt need encryption. maybe put /var/log and other files to the encrypted partition and symlink them over.

[13:10] <CJS3141> If I have a program designed for KDE that I want to install, how do I know if it will work with gnome? I was under the impression that most KDE apps would work with Gnome, but is this true?
[13:11] <ichbinesderelch> CJS3141: well they should work with gnome, best way to know if it will work is try it :P but usally they should work
[13:11] <jrib> CJS3141: what program?
[13:12] <CJS3141> jrib: I'm trying to compile "kgrubeditor" and it complains about not having KDE4...
[13:12] <HardyOne> CJS3141, well then you need kde4
[13:13] <CJS3141> HardyOne:  I'm a newbie at this--can I have KDE4 installed alongside gnome? I'm on gutsy. Are there any issues?
[13:14] <Michaelsen> how do you enable optical digital jack in ubuntu?
[13:15] <HardyOne> CJS3141, I believe you will need to compile kde4 yourself. as far as issues I dont think there is any
[13:15] <Pici> !kde4
[13:15] <ubotu> KDE 4.0.2 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.2.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[13:16] <fvwmnet> I think kde it too big
[13:17] <CJS3141> ubotu, hardyone, thanks. If I can install it without any issues, what is the reason to use Kubuntu then? Like I said, I'm new at this. :-)
[13:17] <HardyOne> CJS3141, Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE pre-installed
[13:18] <CJS3141> hardyone: yes, but I thought you had to use either gnome or kde, you couldn't use both. Is that totally wrong? Can I use both on the same system with no problems?
[13:19] <HardyOne> CJS3141, the main issue for me is that when installing kde along side gnome the menus get mixed and there is no easy way to remove the kde apps or the gnome apps from the system . requires you do it all by hand
[13:19] <HardyOne> CJS3141, nothing will break if that is what you mean
[13:20] <fvwmnet> apt-get
[13:20] <CJS3141> hardyone: ummmm... you can't uninstall using synaptic? What do you mean you have to do it by hand? Using apt-get?
[13:21] <HardyOne> CJS3141, yes you can use synaptic but there is no easy one command that takes care of it all
[13:21] <fvwmnet> aptitude
[13:22] <vallhalla81> hi all i need help configure my modem to forward port 22 to my local ip can any help please?
[13:23] <CJS3141> hardyone: so many of the programs I've come across are for KDE--why does Ubuntu use gnome? What is the advantage? Why wouldn't everyone just use kubuntu?
[13:24] <fvwmnet> CJS3141: hehe  fvwm .
[13:24] <ompaul> CJS3141, the personal choice of people is available
[13:24] <HardyOne> CJS3141, it is just personal prefference just so happened that you been comming accross kde apps but there is a gnome equivalent for every one. KDE has a more shinny look to it. more like windows IMHO
[13:25] <zainerkin_> I have closed vnc player but the sound is still running and I can not close it.
[13:25] <fvwmnet> Kde like xp. too slow
[13:25] <zainerkin_> how do you force applcations to close in ubuntu
[13:25] <fvwmnet> zainerkin_: ps -A | grep xxxxxxxxxxxx
[13:26] <HardyOne> zainerkin, I give them a stern look and they usualy close
[13:26] <zainerkin_> LOL
[13:26] <fvwmnet> kill it
[13:26] <ompaul> zainerkin_, xkill as a terminal program can help
[13:26] <gligorhoria> zainerkin_ kill 31    where 31 is the pid number
[13:26] <Vertelemming> zainerkin: System->Administration->System Monitor. It's a rough equivalent to Task Manager under Windows, and should allow you to kill the program.
[13:26] <CJS3141> Hardyone: the gnome equivalent to the program I'm using is called Ggrubeditor and has been discontinued... I'd rather use a program still being supported.
[13:27] <ubuntu-usr> my ubuntu 7.04 generates bad dns address for every new session
[13:27] <fvwmnet> CJS3141: vi is good
[13:27] <ubuntu-usr> what i should do?
[13:27] <zainerkin_> the thing is a was watching a movie with vnc player which I have closed down but the music is still running and I can not eject my cd
[13:27] <jimqode> ubuntu, what do you mean? /etc/resolv.conf is wrong?
[13:27] <zainerkin_> the sound is still playing.
[13:27] <jimqode> ubuntu-usr, , what do you mean? /etc/resolv.conf is wrong?
[13:27] <zainerkin_> its a dianish porno LOL
[13:27] <TrioTorus> vallhalla81: I presume you mean your router. Check out this page if you have one of those: http://portforward.com/routers.htm
[13:27] <ubuntu-usr> jimode: yes
[13:27] <HardyOne> CJS3141, then by all means please go ahead. I am not telling you to not use kde or kde apps, just trying to let you know what to expect :). I prefer gnome but I have used kde on different occasions
[13:28] <fvwmnet> zainerkin_: ps -A find the pid
[13:28] <sil3nt> nick?
[13:28] <zainerkin_> how do i find the pid
[13:28] <ubuntu-usr> it is written that these settings are set by network manager and i shouldn`t touch them
[13:28] <legend2440> zainerkin_ try eject in terminal
[13:28] <fvwmnet> ps -A | grep vnc
[13:28] <Vertelemming> Open a Terminal, and do "ps -A". It will give you a list of programs and their PIDs.
[13:29] <zainerkin_> its says in terminla that the device is busy
[13:29] <CJS3141> zainerkin: You could right click-on your top panel, click "add to panel" and then add "force quit" it will easily allow you to kill a window.
[13:29] <gligorhoria> zainerkin_ ps -A will show some info aboute that vnc
[13:29] <zainerkin_> by the sounds of it they are getting busy
[13:29] <zainerkin_> lol
[13:29] <Pici> !ohmy | zainerkin_
[13:29] <ubotu> zainerkin_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[13:29] <legend2440> zainerkin_ lol
[13:29] <ideal> does ubuntu 7.10 support microsoft wireless 2000 keyboard set? (Cause even windows hardly supports it, ha ha.)
[13:29] <zainerkin_> oh dear
[13:30] <fvwmnet> zainerkin_: man kill
[13:30] <Vertelemming> I think we've given him ... six different answers now?
[13:30] <Scunizi> zainerkin pidof <process> or top will also show process
[13:30] <Vertelemming> Never let it be said that Linux lacks freedom of choice.
[13:30] <ideal> sorry to be asking noob questions here..
[13:30] <fvwmnet> zainerkin_: I use mplayer it's easy
[13:31] <ubuntu-usr> jimqode: do you have some idea?
[13:31] <ideal> I used the add programs feature and chose gnome partition editor, but I can't find an icon for it
[13:31] <ideal> the other programs I added all got icons..
[13:31] <jimqode> ubuntu-usr, that dns address is given to your machine by the dhcp server
[13:31] <HardyOne> ideal, it is called gparted
[13:32] <vallhalla81> TrioTorus: thank you
[13:32] <HardyOne> or in terminal just type gparted and hit enter
[13:32] <zainerkin> how do I get the pid of the vnc player
[13:32] <ideal> HardyOne: where do I find it?
[13:32] <legend2440> ideal: check System>Administration>partition editor
[13:32] <jimqode> ubuntu-usr, for most home users dhcp server is the modem you use to connect to internet. you should configure your modem
[13:32] <ubuntu-usr> jimqode: correct, it is wrong for linux but good for windows on second machine
[13:32] <Sinnerman> ideal: system -> admin.
[13:32] <zainerkin> can I list all the process/applications running
[13:32] <ideal> legend2440: : oh yeah, thanks.. found it :)
[13:32] <Scunizi> ideal, gparted has to be run by root. so it assumes you know what you're doing.  open a terminal and type sudo gparted and it should open..
[13:32] <erUSUL> zainerkin: ps ax
[13:32] <Vertelemming> zainerkin: System->Administration->System Monitor.
[13:32] <Sinnerman> zainerkin: ps aux in a terminal.
[13:33] <jimqode> ubuntu-usr, maybe you are using static dns configurayion on windows machine?
[13:33] <ubuntu-usr> jimqode: i`d like to set open dns and rest of settings i want to have from router
[13:33] <ubuntu-usr> jimqode: i will chech that on my router
[13:33] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: did you use dhcp?
[13:33] <ubuntu-usr> jimqode: yes
[13:34] <zainerkin> wxvlc was the process which I have stopped now. thanks
[13:34] <ideal> ok so.. I have ubuntu installed on hda.. then hdb isn't partitioned.. what do I do in this gparted to get the hdb up and running? I mean, every time I boot, so I don't have to mount it each time
[13:34] <erUSUL> Scunizi: ideal "gksudo gparted" sudo is unsafe for graphic apps
[13:34] <fvwmnet> ideal: edit /etc/fstab
[13:34] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: yes, i`m currently use rhem but without dnses
[13:35] <fvwmnet> ideal: man fstab
[13:35] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: dhclient
[13:35] <Scunizi> ideal, check out fvwmnet post.. you need to add a mount line to fstab
[13:35] <ideal> should I just partition the whole hdb as one partition? It's an old 40 gig drive so it's not very big
[13:35] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: The Gateway acts as DHCP Server is enabled
[13:35] <Scunizi> ideal, I would.. format with ext3
[13:36] <Hatl> hi! is it possible to install a minimal xserver with about 50MB?
[13:36] <ideal> Scunizi: ok
[13:36] <ompaul> !minimal | Hatl
[13:36] <ubotu> Hatl: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[13:36] <Gary_inNYC> is there a tool to see the degree of file fragmentation on an ext3 filesystem?
[13:36] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: run dhclient -> he set ip and dns
[13:36] <erUSUL> Gary_inNYC: fsck prints that when it finshes
[13:36] <ompaul> Gary_inNYC, the function of the file system is to prevent that from happening this is not MS
[13:37] <ideal> Scunizi: do I have to leave any free space? cause I thought it said something about that in a guide I found
[13:37] <Scunizi> ideal, are you just using this drive as a secondary data drive? or are you going to use it for something else?
[13:37] <legend2440> !defrag
[13:37] <ubotu> The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[13:38] <Gary_inNYC> fsck prints non-contiguous, not fragmentation.  also, that percentage happens to be growing for me on my home partition.  How would I know if fragmentation is not occurring if there are no tests for it?
[13:38] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet:  it doesn`t slove my peoblem. my web browser now can`t work
[13:38] <ideal> Scunizi: I'm just going to use it for like storing mp3s and stuff if I download any torrents
[13:39] <Scunizi> ideal, format the entire thing.. or whatever the max  is  allowed by gparted
[13:39] <Gary_inNYC> like for instance, I have 11% non-contiguous for filesystem, which begs to question, what percentage (if any) is fragmented?
[13:39] <fvwmnet> ping you gateway is ok?
[13:39] <Lamego> Gary_inNYC, fragmentation does not have a major performance impact on linux filesystems
[13:39] <Pici> !defrag | Gary_inNYC
[13:39] <ubotu> Gary_inNYC: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.
[13:40] <Gary_inNYC> kk
[13:40] <fvwmnet> Gary_inNYC: ext not fat.
[13:40] <Odd-rationale> Gary_inNYC: fragmentation is only an issue if your partition is mor than 90% full
[13:40] <Gary_inNYC> this info is concurrent with what i've read so far.  I'm assuming I shouldn't worry about it, but I'm keeping an eye on it.
[13:40] <ompaul> Gary_inNYC, back it all up and reinstall it if you think you need to deal with it .. but your call
[13:40] <ideal> Scunizi: ok, so I did that, and it's like creating the ext3 filesystem now.. but, if I mount this to the filesystem later.. will it show up as a separate disk or will it like just be a directory? I mean, so one can tell the free space on it etc..
[13:41] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: yes
[13:41] <fvwmnet> ping www.google.com ok?
[13:41] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: can get ip address?
[13:41] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: nothing appears
[13:42] <Scunizi> ideal, you need to create a file in /media to mount the drive to.  Say.. sudo mkdir /media/hdb1
[13:42] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: ping: unknown host google.com
[13:42] <fvwmnet> vi /etc/resolv.conf
[13:42] <fvwmnet> add you nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[13:42] <mysticalone> I was following the instructions ( http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.3_Driver_Manually ) there and removed everything to do with fglrx which I think is the problem and now I've rebooted and fglrxinfo says mesa and getting several errors.
[13:43] <ideal> Scunizi: ok, so will that create "hdb1" in the media folder?
[13:43] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: but after every restart i loose it. yhat`s my point
[13:43] <ideal> Scunizi: man, I can't wait to be more familiar with this, so I don't have to spend so much time on everything, LOL
[13:43] <Scunizi> ideal, then you need to add a line to fstab so the drive will mount on boot.  blkid will discover the uuid of the drive. type gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and you may be able to copy one of the other drive lines then modify it for the correct uuid
[13:43] <mrspinx>   I'm looking for the correct kernel image for a smp i386 xeon box. does anyone no the correct package?
[13:43] <mrspinx> These are packages for amd im looking for the intel equvalent.
[13:43] <mrspinx> -linux-image-2.6.12-9-k7-smp
[13:43] <mrspinx> -linux-image-k7-smp
[13:43] <mrspinx> -linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-k7-smp
[13:43] <FloodBot2> mrspinx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:43] <mrspinx> -linux-restricted-modules-k7-smp
[13:44] <Lamego> mrspinx, Gutsy ?
[13:44] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: you can use static ip
[13:44] <ompaul> mrspinx, please don't spam the channel with more than two lines .. gutsy chooses the right kernel for your boxes hardware
[13:44] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: besides there is written that i shouldn`t touch this file because network manager generates it
[13:44] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: yes
[13:45] <Pici> mrspinx: the generic kernel image supports smp and i386 fine.
[13:45] <Scunizi> ideal, yes it will create hdb1.. remember most everything in linux is a "file" or text file.. even the directory of the new drive.. it becomes a file called /media/hdb1
[13:45] <Lamego> you should use the -generic-, the specific arch kernels are obsolete
[13:45] <mrspinx> Lamego  Yes 7.10
[13:45] <ideal> Scunizi: ok, well I'm not sure I totally understand you there, what's an uuid? :)
[13:45] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: sorry actually no
[13:45] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: root can do this.
[13:46] <ompaul> !supportroot
[13:46] <ubotu> We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[13:46] <Scunizi> ideal, when you open fstab for editing you'll see these long numbers like serial numbers associated with different partitions.  That is the uuid. It's a way of identifing a partition or drive
[13:46] <DimitrisZ> hi guys. i have an athlon x2 64bit processor. what i would like to ask is this: 32bit os OR 64bit os???
[13:46] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: ok then i should edit resolv.cof
[13:46] <seamus_ie> hey all, just wondering has anyone gotten the patched version of the bcm43xx wifi driver to work. i can't get it to compile properly, it's driving me mad
[13:46] <Lamego> DimitrisZ, you can install both, it's your choice
[13:46] <DimitrisZ> what would be better though???
[13:46] <ompaul> !wireless | seamus_ie (this works if you follow the links)
[13:46] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: sorry resolve.conf
[13:46] <ubotu> seamus_ie (this works if you follow the links): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[13:46] <mrspinx> ompaul  wont happen again.   I have a two processor computer. Ubuntu thinks its a four processor box
[13:47] <seamus_ie> DimitrisZ: i have the same and initially went for 64bit, now on 32bit and machine is working much better and actually seems faster
[13:47] <reikalusikka> I upgradet to 8.04 but now x doesn't work properly
[13:47] <ompaul> mrspinx, it would you got dual core procs I guess
[13:47] <fvwmnet> fvwmnet: nameserver ???.???.???.???
[13:47] <Pici> !hardy | reikalusikka
[13:47] <ompaul> !hardy | reikalusikka
[13:47] <ubotu> reikalusikka: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[13:47] <reikalusikka> ty
[13:47] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:47] <ideal> Scunizi: oh yeah, fdisk -l will show that, right?
[13:47] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: this is my router`s addr
[13:47] <reikalusikka> so should I degrade it back t 7.10? is that even possible?
[13:47] <mrspinx> This is an older computer both single cores
[13:47] <Scunizi> reikalusikka, help is available in #ubuntu+1
[13:47] <DimitrisZ> better with 32bit huh?
[13:47] <reikalusikka> ok
[13:47] <seamus_ie> ompaul: yea thanks, i have followed all the steps. the problem i have is with a version of the driver patched for injection
[13:48] <Scunizi> ideal, maybe.. I've never used it that way.
[13:48] <Lamego> reikalusikka, you were not supposed to use hardy at this time, unless you want to beta test it
[13:48] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-usr: sometime add this ok.
[13:48] <reikalusikka> :D
[13:48] <seamus_ie> DimitrisZ: yea i would say so, a lot less headaches!
[13:48] <reikalusikka> Lamego: ok
[13:48] <DimitrisZ> but drivers are also available for x64 right?
[13:49] <Lamego> DimitrisZ, yes
[13:49] <Scunizi> reikalusikka, you should be ok.. It's pretty much done.  go to /join #ubuntu+1 for additional help..
[13:49] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: if i put there opendns addresses it willbe all right (opendns.com)
[13:49] <ubuntufreak> I have a problem with sound in my compaq v3000 using Ubuntu 7.10
[13:49] <jimqode> DimitrisZ, i don't have any problems with 64bit
[13:49] <seamus_ie> DimitrisZ: oh yea definatly, the main problems with 64bit is with things like flash, java and random alpha or beta level software
[13:50] <legend2440> ideal: put this in /etc/fstab file but substitute your uuid number UUID=232da3f4-7f84-455f-a8bf-56964154ef0e	/media/hdb1	ext3	defaults,noatime	     0 2
[13:50] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: until i will restart computer again
[13:50] <DimitrisZ> doesn't gnash solve flash problems in x64?
[13:50] <erUSUL> DimitrisZ: i use flashplugin-nonfree on 64 bits and it works mostly
[13:50] <Lap_Top> i have tv tuner which got Philips SAA7130HL chip set any one can help me in installation
[13:51] <erUSUL> DimitrisZ: gnash is not quit ready yet
[13:51] <fvwmnet> you can add -> "echo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> /etc/resolv.conf" in you rc.local
[13:51] <DimitrisZ> hmmm, but you can install a 32bit firefox for flash support can;t you?/
[13:51] <fvwmnet> if you like
[13:51] <Scunizi> legend2440, thanks for that.. I'm on a win lappy and cant reference my ubuntu sys for a line referance like what you gave ideal
[13:51] <Lap_Top> i have tv tuner which got Philips SAA7130HL chip set any one can help me in installation through ssh
[13:51] <seamus_ie> DimitrisZ: I also had flash working in FF in 64bit but had no sound and it used to crash(flash) whenever i scrolled over a flash app
[13:51] <legend2440> Scunizi:  ok no problem
[13:52] <erUSUL> DimitrisZ: as i said if you install flashplugin-nonfree you get flash through nspluginwrapper
[13:52] <ubuntu-usr> fvwmnet: what means that xxxxx??
[13:52] <Lamego> I have been using flash on 64bits without problems

[13:52] <CJS3141> hardyone (or anyone else): if I want to install KDE4 using synaptic, what is the name of the package? They have "kde4" listed but it is only 3 KB. Is that the right one, but is actually much larger in size because it also installs a bunch of other dependent libraries/programs/etc?
[13:53] <seamus_ie> DimitrisZ: yea you can, i never went down that route myself, changing to 32bit fixed some other issues i was having too which is why i changed
[13:53] <DimitrisZ> ok one last thing. do the new ati drivers work with ati hd2600 on ubuntu?

[14:12] <fvwmnet> Pici: ?
[14:12] <Lamego> you dont need the full path, ls is enough
[14:12] <seamus_ie> DeadLy_sp:  yea cause ls is usually aliased to 'ls -lh --color=auto'
[14:12] <Pici> fvwmnet: You didn't need to keep repeating the echo nameserver thing.

[14:13] <fvwmnet> Pici: sorry
[14:13] <Pici> fnd: Probably not without lots of headaches.  I suggest waiting until Hardy, which is due in a little less than a month.
[14:13] <bartmon> sinbox: try alsamixer
[14:13] <Templer> i tried google and ubuntu forums
[14:14] <Templer> anyone please
[14:14] <fnd> Pici: I guess you're right - thanks
[14:14] <Lamego> !anyone | Templer
[14:14] <ubotu> Templer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[14:14] <DeadLy_sp> seamus_ie, now, how can i get the result and put into a $var?
[14:14] <Templer> can anyone help me I get this error when i use the update manger "E: ubuntu-docs: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139"
[14:14] <Templer> thats what im getting
[14:14] <Lamego> DeadLy_sp, you really should start by reading a basic shell scripting manual
[14:15] <sinbox> bartmon, I meant seeing a visualisation of the levels like a vu-meter
[14:15] <DeadLy_sp> seamus_ie, i need take the result of zenity list when push ok....
[14:15] <seamus_ie> DeadLy_sp: ZIPFILELIST is the variable. read man bash
[14:15] <DeadLy_sp> Lamego, yes, im very noob, but i've interess
[14:15] <fnd> Templer: have you tried "sudo apt-get update" from the command line (terminal)?
[14:15] <Lamego> DeadLy_sp, so start by reading a manual or tutorial
[14:15] <seamus_ie> well i run kde so know little about the exact command line args to zenity, try man zenity
[14:15] <DeadLy_sp> sorry seamus_ie, thanks good boy
[14:15] <Templer> no was using the ubuntu update manager thats all
[14:15] <DeadLy_sp> Lamego, yes, sorry
[14:15] <Funky_> Hey guys I installed ubuntu 8.04 beta using the Wubi or whatever it's called and it didn't detect my partitions correctly. so in order to boot i need to manually change the partition (hda(0,0)) each time. whats the best way to change this permanently?
[14:15] <Lamego> Templer, have you tried to remove the ubuntu-docs package ?
[14:16] <Lamego> !hardy > Funky_
[14:16] <Templer> nope
[14:16] <Templer> should i
[14:16] <Lamego> Templer, do it, and reinstall it after
[14:16] <Lamego> yes, something was broken during the install
[14:16] <Templer> cheers will do
[14:16] <seamus_ie> Funky_: booting into linux? using grub? /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:16] <MM2> Funky_: #ubuntu+1 :)
[14:16] <Funky_> just got the message :)
[14:16] <Funky_> thanks

[14:17] <MM2> I have this windowspartition with has some filenames with UTF-8 characters (I think: ä) and I don't see them on ubuntus filemanager noin terminal. How I can access them?
[14:17] <Lamego> DeadLy_sp, that will not work, please follow my advice
[14:18] <DeadLy_sp> ==
[14:19] <seamus_ie> DeadLy_sp: stop guessing. man bash
[14:19] <ubuntu-user> fvwmnet: it not works like i wold like
[14:20] <Pici> DeadLy_sp: This is a bit out of the scope of this channel, try looking for help in #bash and reading http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ , both are great sources of information on shell scripting.
[14:20] <skylive> please someone, why was the resolution on my liveCD ok, but once I installed, everything went haywire? my screen is capable of 1024.. res, but its now 640..
[14:20] <Templer> thanks that worked
[14:20] <seamus_ie> anyone here using the bc43xx driver patched for injection with the 2.6.22-14-generic SMP kernel?
[14:20] <Lap_Top> is there any one who can install Philips SAA7130 PCI TV card installation through ssh
[14:20] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-user: what you like?
[14:20] <DeadLy_sp> Pici,  thanks for ur advice
[14:20] <seamus_ie> skylive: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:20] <ubuntu-user> fvwmnet: i wiil put new file on pastie.org
[14:20] <Lamego> skylive, probably you will need to reconfigure your screen and graphics driver
[14:21] <SatMan> which is better - debian or ubuntu?
[14:21] <Lamego> skylive, from a terminal run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Funky two things wrong..  You need to be in the HArdy room if you are running Hardy.. (Ubuntu+1) and wubi isnt a real install.. as in unsupported and your problem is related to wubi and not the os.
[14:21] <Lamego> !better > SatMan
[14:21] <seamus_ie> !better seamus_ie
[14:21] <seamus_ie> !better > seamus_ie
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> SatMan, Offtopic
[14:21] <SatMan> ok
[14:22] <ubuntu-user> fvwmnet: http://pastie.org/169676
[14:22] <SatMan> as for now I am going with ubuntu :)
[14:22] <skylive> Lamego: Thanks, errm, if you are still here later, can I get back to you? my com kinda overheated =.="
[14:22] <Adpad>  does Compiz run on KDE or is it meant for Gnome
[14:22] <bazhang> Adpad: of course it does ;]
[14:22] <Scunizi> Adpad, it'll  run on both
[14:23] <Adpad> :)
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> SatMan, You are not limited to running one distro, you can setup an extra partition just for testing other ones out and dual boot them
[14:23] <ubuntu-user> fvwmnet: in resolve.conf are now 3 addresses
[14:23] <Lamego> skylive, not sure, try :)
[14:23]  * MM2 figured it out: -o utf8. How that is not default option?
[14:23] <evand> Jack_Sparrow: Wubi is a real install, and is supported.
[14:23] <Adpad> I ran it on KDE and it had funny behavior/errors
[14:23] <Adpad> must be doing something wrong?
[14:23] <Scunizi> SatMan, or even use vmware server to install them "virtually"
[14:23] <bazhang> but that was mint Adpad
[14:24] <SatMan> cool
[14:24] <Adpad> nope man, was on Kubuntu
[14:24] <Adpad> ;)
[14:24] <Jack_Sparrow> evand, Wubi is running under windows is a simulated folder setup. it isnt a real install, it isnt safe and I personally think it is worthless
[14:24] <bazhang> Adpad: what was the problem?
[14:24] <SatMan> how can I optimize (tweak?) my Ubuntu
[14:24] <Adpad> alt-tab caused areas of screen to go black, etc
[14:24] <SatMan> like I did with Windows
[14:24] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-user: in first line you can you > not >>
[14:24] <Adpad> but i will come ask again later, going to reboot to test
[14:24] <Adpad> (properly)
[14:24] <bazhang> Adpad: that was driver issue not kde
[14:25] <Adpad> ahh ok :)
[14:25] <Everheart> Hi guys is there anybody here who can help me with a kernel panic due to some already fixed HD bad sectors?
[14:25] <Lamego> wubi is a real install, it is just installed over a ntfs partition
[14:25] <evand> Jack_Sparrow:  It's not "simulated".  The only difference is that the root filesystem is a loop-mounted file on a NTFS partition rather than being directly mounted partition.  You can think it's worthless all you want, but don't tell other users that it's not real and not supported.
[14:25] <bassinboywk> is it possible to do a hardy installation with less than 1gb?
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Lamego, It is a simulated partition inside a window folder,  That doe not count as a real install
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[14:26] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://wubi-installer.org/
[14:26] <evand> That needs to be changed.
[14:26] <Lamego> Jack_Sparrow, uh why not ? A "real" installation is not based on the media it is installed, eg, an LVM LV is not a real partition
[14:27] <linxeh> does anyone here use truecrypt on ubuntu? how would I go about installing it ?
[14:27] <ompaul> Everheart, replace disks -- now if not sooner
[14:27] <CJS3141> I opened up "edit menus" (right-click on the Applications menu), and somehow in trying to delete one entry, I deleted the whole directory tree--I have no more menus under "applications" anymore. :-( I can't even run the "edit menus" anymore--can anyone please help?
[14:27] <legend2440> bassinboywk:  they would know in #ubuntu+1 channel. Thats hardy support channel
[14:27] <Adpad> bazhang - thanks again for the help
[14:27] <Adpad> be back later, ciao all
[14:28] <Everheart> but the bad sectors are fixed, why should I replace then? Windows failed too but chkdsk fixed it, why can't it get fixed on ubuntu?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Lamego, this is a support room... we need to drop the discussion.
[14:28] <bazhang> cya
[14:28] <ericus> Maybe someone can help me with this; I have a NTFS disk with a folder on it that used to be a mount point for another drive in windows
[14:28] <Adpad> thanks everyone who helped me today :)
[14:28] <ericus> how do i remove that folder?
[14:28] <snmpee> with your teeth
[14:28] <ericus> Warning: Unable to remove directory MOViE/ - Operation not supported
[14:28] <bazhang> snmpee: not helpful
[14:29] <ubuntu-user> fvwmnet: my resolve.conf after reboot: http://pastie.org/169680
[14:29] <Lamego> Jack_Sparrow, sorry, just had to correct your doubtfull opinnion on the answer
[14:29] <legend2440> bassinboywk: or read this it will tell you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[14:29] <seamus_ie> ericus: writing to ntfs partitions os not supported by default as far as i remember
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Lamego, I still feel wubi is worthless junk and I will never support it.
[14:30] <sant> how to format my pendrive on ntfs file system
[14:30] <ericus> yes, ntfs works well
[14:30] <bazhang> sant: format it for linux
[14:30] <ericus> i can write and remove other things on the disk
[14:30] <BeBoo_> seamus_ie: I write to my portable ntfs formatted drive just fine
[14:30] <sant> how to format
[14:30] <bazhang> sant you want to do what exactly
[14:30] <Pici> sant: Use gparted, its in the repositories.
[14:30] <BeBoo_> all i did was plug it in ;-)
[14:30] <evand> Jack_Sparrow: you don't have to, just keep silent when someone asks about it rather than spreading misinformation.
[14:31] <seamus_ie> ericus: hmm so idea so sorry
[14:31] <mysticalone> on ATI's site, they have 8.3 and I've seen 8.42, and I can see that 8.42 is a bigger number, this mean ATI hasn't updated their links?
[14:31] <sant> i want to format my pendrive
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> evand, NOt misinformation.. and I asked for this to be dropped, yet you insist on bringing it up again.
[14:31] <elTigre> anybody ever tried XP in qemu?
[14:31] <bazhang> sant so you said--to do what with it?
[14:31] <seamus_ie> sant: good for you, why you telling us?
[14:31] <Lamego> sant, yo manage the partition on it, you will need to use fdisk or cfdisk
[14:31] <elTigre> the device installation hangs
[14:31] <ericus> You know how you can name a disk in win, like C:/ (windows)
[14:31] <Pici> !gparted | sant
[14:32] <ericus> i wanna get rid of that
[14:32] <marcinsoo> exit
[14:32] <Lamego> I am not sure about ntfs, for the linux formats you have the mkfs.ext3 , etc
[14:32] <ubotu> sant: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[14:32] <Scunizi> !offtopic | Jack_Sparrow evand
[14:32] <ubotu> Jack_Sparrow evand: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:32] <sant> while trying gparted  format option is faded what to do
[14:32] <mysticalone> so should I use ati 8.3 or 8.42
[14:32] <evand> Jack_Sparrow: it absolutely is misinformation.  Wubi is officially supported by the Ubuntu project.  If you don't think this is appropriate for this channel, feel free to take this to a PM.
[14:32] <seamus_ie> ericus: being able to label a disk in windows?
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> evand, It may be included in Hardy..  THere are lazy people that will op for that soultion..
[14:32] <W8TAH> seamus_ie, sorry -- just returned -- ok - -looks good on the driver
[14:32] <W8TAH> Scunizi, its cold and grey - im ready for spring
[14:32] <bazhang> evand okay enough with the ot please
[14:32] <Stewie^Rupert> What best programs for ghosting / backup / make copies off my UBUNTU OS to another hardrive and able to boot.?
[14:32] <W8TAH> i need to get tower work done
[14:32] <ericus> yes seamus_ie, i want to remove the label
[14:32] <seamus_ie> W8TAH: cool, hope it works for ya
[14:33] <seamus_ie> ericus: in windows?
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> evand, We have discussed this in the ops room more than once,.
[14:33] <ericus> in ubuntu
[14:33] <legend2440> mysticalone:  8.3 is the latest driver came out March 5 2008
[14:33] <Scunizi> W8TAH, kd6wqk here. in the 80's for the last couple of days ;)
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Stewie^Rupert, Basic dd command works for many people
[14:33] <mysticalone> so what is 8.42
[14:33] <Lamego> Jack_Sparrow, is is not about lazyness, there maybe tecnhical concerns to use ntfs as a target installation, do not presume that you clearly understand all the desried scenarios for a Ubuntu install
[14:34] <seamus_ie> ericus: ubuntu doesn't use windows drive labels, i think you need to rephrase you question
[14:34] <invertedtwisted> Hey everyone, is there a way for me to revert Ubuntu to like a fresh install without having to make myself an install disk and litterally reinstall the system?
[14:34] <Lamego> invertedtwisted, no,
[14:34] <seamus_ie> invertedtwisted: no not fully
[14:34] <Stewie^Rupert> Jack_Sparrow Is there a website for walk thought?
[14:34] <CJS3141> is there any way I can recover my Applications menu if I accidentally erased it with the menu editor?
[14:34] <Lap_Top> seamus_ie: I Dont Know My TV Tuner Driver How Can I Find Out
[14:34] <invertedtwisted> Damn :P
[14:35] <invertedtwisted> Thanks anyway, guess I'll just have to re-d/l it
[14:35] <Lamego> CJS3141, if they were installed by packages, you can reinstall the packages
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Lamego, People that op for that type of installation need to be advised of the diferences between it and a real installation.
[14:35] <Stewie^Rupert> Jack_Sparrow does that backup and can be use as imaging to another hard drive ? and is it bootable?
[14:35] <bazhang> invertedtwisted: good to have a livecd around at any rate
[14:35] <legend2440> mysticalone:  read this http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux64/radeonprevious-linux64.html
[14:35] <invertedtwisted> bazhang, I guess so.
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup | Stewie^Rupert

[14:36] <bazhang> seamus_ie: not here and language
[14:36] <fvwmnet> ubuntu-user: http://pastie.org/169684
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Stewie^Rupert, YEs it is bootable, to the point that hardware detection may require tweaking

[14:37] <jimqode> eva, your numlock is on
[14:37] <sant> plz help me how to format usb drive . i am unable to format using gparted what to do
[14:37] <Lamego> Jack_Sparrow, sure, but calling something a crap is not a tecnhical explanation, if you dont care about explaining the drawbacks of using wubi versus a plain partition install, then you should refraing yourself from answering
[14:37] <bazhang> www.pendrivelinux.com has details sant
[14:37] <legend2440> mysticalone:  for some reason ati changed the way they name the versions
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Lamego, I will ask politely , again, to drop the wubi discussion.  this is not the place.

[14:38] <Stewie^Rupert> Jack_Sparrow what are the steps to tweak the hardware detection?
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Lamego, you should create the #Ubuntu-wubi room and we can send those interested to you
[14:38] <evand> Jack_Sparrow: then identify a place to continue this discussion, because this needs to be resolved.  You cannot continue to spread this misinformation to users.
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> #ubuntu-ops or offtopic
[14:39] <eva> Google and the Ubuntu bug database finds me nothing
[14:39] <sant> help me
[14:39] <Lamego> Jack_Sparrow, I will ask politely that you do not keep presenting your personal oppining and providing it as a tecnhical answer to a user's question
[14:39] <sant> how to format my pendrive
[14:39] <bazhang> sant you need to read that link first
[14:39] <sant> i have read nothing useful
[14:40] <Lamego> sant, mkfs.ntfs-3g
[14:40] <bazhang> sant you have read nothing in that link? best to read it first
[14:40] <Stewie^Rupert> Jack_Sparrow are there a website for  tweaks for the hardware detection?
[14:40] <remoulade> Hi, how can i change the user owning a partition so that i get full permissions ?
[14:40] <bazhang> Lamego: best to let it drop. now.
[14:40] <bartmon> sant: pendrive as in usb flash drive?
[14:40] <seamus_ie> eva: i had a similar problem a while ago, turned out to be a prob with language and keyboard layout configs, maybe check those
[14:41] <sant> s bartmon
[14:41] <eva> seamus Where would I check that?
[14:41] <bartmon> Lamego: don't be silly, a journaling fs like ntfs on flash is a nono
[14:41] <seamus_ie> in gnome? not fully sure, i think there's a keyboad layout item in on of the system preference menus
[14:42] <Lamego> dropped
[14:42] <bartmon> sant: Why do you want to format it?
[14:42] <eva> seamus Problem is that I can not log into gnome, that's the problem :-)
[14:42] <ericus> how do i get permission to write on a disk that i just mounted?
[14:42] <sant> i am affected by newfolder.exe virus
[14:43] <bazhang> ericus ntfs? did you just plug it in?
[14:43] <ericus> ext3, just formatted it
[14:43] <amortvigil> what does "ERROR: Input file "(stdin)" is not a supported format" mean?
[14:43] <ericus> from some leftover space
[14:43] <bartmon> sant: On the flashdrive?
[14:43] <Seveas> sant, this is a linux channel, leave windows problems at the doorstep please
[14:43] <sant> yes
[14:43] <bazhang> sant are you going to boot ubuntu on it? or is this for windows only? are you running ubuntu?
[14:43] <bartmon> sant: are you running a ubuntu liveCD?
[14:44] <sant> i am using ubuntu
[14:44] <bazhang> sant then please read the link so you can ask more informed questions; just repeating the same one is not helpful
[14:45] <sant> how to remove newfolder.exe virus permanentely
[14:45] <Lamego> sant, that question is off topic
[14:45] <bullgard4> After Ctrl+Alt+F1 I can return to my X now only after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F8. In the past it used to be Ctrl+Alt+F7. Pressing now Ctrl+Alt+F7 displays a console with 4 lines of text starting with 'Reloading' and an active prompt. There are only 6 getty processes.  Is the reason why relevant?
[14:47] <bartmon> Sry about the language.

[14:56] <whyameye> Lo_Pan: thanks. That looks like it might work.
[14:56] <skylive> so it won't work, and I'll have to wait it out?
[14:56] <david_> Hi. How do I install a windows game with wine?
[14:56] <Scunizi> lastelement0, you might try removing quiet and splash from the boot process... not sure how to do it myself but from my readings  that might make a difference.
[14:56] <hwilde> !wine | david_
[14:56] <ubotu> david_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.

[14:57] <natalija> hi
[14:57] <lastelement0> Scunizi: what do they do?
[14:57] <skylive> I currently don't have net on that computer (need wireless driver), but If I do get on, can i download ndiswapper from the repositories?
[14:58] <bullgard4> After Ctrl+Alt+F1 I can return to my X now only after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F8. In the past it used to be Ctrl+Alt+F7.

[14:58] <inqui> but " Restricted Driver Manager" doas do what? do i have to chance the xorg.conf in anyway?  i dont feel like enableing glx by useing " Restricted Driver Manager" ...
[14:58] <Scunizi> lastelement0, sounded like they supress what you are looking for
[14:58] <Lamego> bullgard4, I am not sure, but I believe that is configured on the gdm conf, the VT that should be used for the X session, the display number is used as an offset

[15:15] <Lap_Top> any one tel me from where to download this mythtv
 HOw can I check how much space do I have in the partition?
[15:15] <aoshi> I actually just reinstalled them.
[15:15] <ketzerei> aoshi: Okay, well, somewhere in the preferences menu, theres some video stuff. I couldn't tell you exactly, because I use Kubuntu. Try messing around with that for awhile.

If anyone could point me to information about this problem, It would be much appreciated :) Will provide further

[15:16] <HardyOne> james, it gives you amount used of total amount correct?
[15:16] <Odd-rationale> Raven: do you have the file /usr/bin/kdesu ?
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> billj, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res.  Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults
[15:16] <ketzerei> aoshi: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[15:16] <aoshi> kk
[15:16] <HardyOne> james_n, it gives amount used of total amount correct?

[15:17] <aspire> can any one tell me which is the CVS client of preference?
[15:17] <Raven> I have kdesu_stub but that's it it appears

[15:17] <aoshi> not a youtube video
[15:17] <ericus> why cant i disable the recently used menu? i made .recently-used write protected, but its not working
[15:17] <ketzerei> aoshi: yeah, do you have an ati card?
[15:18] <seamus_ie> aoshi: gmplayer, vlc, xine
[15:18] <aoshi> ketzerei: installing mplayer fixed it XD
[15:18] <james_n> HardyOne on the system tab it says Momory:  249.9 and on the Resources tab it says im using 44% of the 249.9
[15:18] <Odd-rationale> Raven: Wait a minute. Are you using ubuntu or kubuntu?

[15:18] <Odd-rationale> Raven: Why in the world are you using adept with ubuntu?
[15:18] <aspire> hi, can any one suggest me a CVS client?
[15:19] <Raven> lol no clue I'm brand new to linux and just trying to figure stuff out lol
[15:19] <HardyOne> james_n, and how much ram you expecting to see?
[15:19] <oops6_4> jaebird: Hi
[15:19] <Odd-rationale> Raven: Use synaptic with ubuntu. adept for kubuntu.
[15:19] <ketzerei> aspire: sudo apt-get install cvs
[15:19] <ricanelite> i tried to install zsnes emulator on ubuntu 7.10 it installed fine but when i try to open it. It does open but then closes
[15:19] <Raven> Oh ok :-) have time for another question or two?
[15:19] <james_n> HardyOne this computer had over a gig of ram.  i dont have the exact number but i can restart and find out if necessairy
[15:19] <ketzerei> ricanelite: type zsnes in the console, post the output
[15:20] <Odd-rationale> Raven: sure. Might want to uninstall adept - unless you plann to use kubuntu.
[15:20] <julian_> hi, im trying to compile my own kernel...
[15:20] <stefg_> ketzerei: clean your optical drive ... or use a different one if you can. This all looks like hardware trouble
[15:20] <HardyOne> james_n, that is a weird issue. not certain how you would debug that
[15:20] <Raven> I just did thanks.  If I download a file from the web I see there are different types of linux files, what type do I need for Ubuntu and how do I install it then?
[15:20] <ketzerei> stefg: Kubuntu had NO trouble, so that makes no sense.
[15:21] <julian_> i installed the header and the source unpacked it. and copied the ubuntu config from /boot/config-<uname -r> to the source folder. and just tried to compile. but everytime i compile it i get new errors messages
[15:21] <Odd-rationale> Raven: You mean download a app?
[15:21] <HardyOne> Raven, before downloading make sure the app you want is not in the repositories first
[15:21] <stefg_> ketzerei: what other expalanation do you have for a checksum error then ?
[15:21] <HardyOne> !synaptic | Raven
[15:21] <ubotu> Raven: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[15:21] <james_n> Hardyone is it possible that im reading it wrong?  or should the system tab tell me the amout of ram
[15:21] <julian_> anyone knows how that could happen?
[15:21] <seamus_ie> julian_: have you installed build-essential
[15:21] <julian_> yeah i did
[15:21] <ricanelite> how do i get into the console?
[15:21] <genii> aspire: gcvs
[15:21] <Raven> Yes to download an app that isn't in the repositories?
[15:21] <HardyOne> james_n, well my system tab shows the correct amount of ram
[15:21] <ricanelite> ketzerei you mean terminal?
[15:21] <ketzerei> There ARE no checksum error. They check out perfectly everytime. I burn them with nero, so nothing should have gone wrong, it boots fine, I get no errors....
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> james_n, resources tab
[15:21] <ketzerei> yeah.
[15:22] <julian_> seamus_ie, it fails sometimes after 30 minutes of compilation sometimes after 15 minutes and the error is another every time
[15:22] <Odd-rationale> Raven: get a .deb file for ubuntu
[15:22] <HardyOne> Raven, you want to get .deb
[15:22] <Odd-rationale> Raven: Like what app?
[15:22] <prince_jammys> Raven: what app?
[15:22] <james_n> both system and resources tabs say 249.9
[15:22] <prince_jammys> jinx
[15:22] <stefg_> ketzerei: when exactly does the install stop? each time at the same point/percentage ?
[15:22] <Odd-rationale> Stop echoing me!
[15:22] <ricanelite> Use ZSNES -? for command line definitions.
[15:22] <ricanelite> Starting Mouse detection.
[15:22] <ricanelite> ManyMouse: 2 mice detected.
[15:22] <ricanelite> Using ManyMouse for:
[15:22] <ricanelite> Mouse 0: USB Optical Mouse
[15:22] <Odd-rationale> :)
[15:22] <FloodBot2> ricanelite: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:22] <ricanelite> Mouse 1: Macintosh mouse button emulation
[15:22] <ricanelite> Creating link /root/.kde/socket-ricanelite-desktop.
[15:22] <Raven> Ok cool .deb file then how would I go and install it?  No specific app, just curiousity.
[15:22] <ketzerei> about 48%, or the "Select and instal software" on the alternate cd.
[15:22] <Odd-rationale> Raven: Download and double click
[15:23] <HardyOne> Raven, with .deb use dpkg -i filename.deb
[15:23] <stefg_> !software| Raven
[15:23] <Acxty> is there an application similar to the dude http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> james_n, resources tab should have a line XXX mb   of   XX MB or gb
[15:23] <HardyOne> Raven, or double click yeah
[15:23] <Raven> oh ok, that's easy then.
[15:23] <marsje_> Quesion: can I use the ubuntu live cd as a rescue cd? My grub stopped working (error 15 in stage 1.5) :-(
[15:23] <prince_jammys> Raven: you can use "gdebi" which you have installed by default, or do : dpkg -i nameofapp.deb in a terminal
[15:23] <aspire> genii, is that a command line tool?
[15:23] <remoulade> How can i change that ? "Device has /dev/sda1 volume.ignore set to TRUE. Refusing to mount."
[15:23] <seamus_ie> julian_: sorry are you compiling a new kernel or installing a package through a package manager?
[15:23] <ubotu> Raven: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents
[15:23] <Annirak> The maching which I was running my mysqld had its chipset die.  Now I'm getting the message that mysql can't bind to port 3306.  What can I do to fix it?
[15:23] <james_n> yeah it says that but it lists 249.9 mb when i should be over a gig
[15:23] <ricanelite> here is the message im getting when trying to load up zsnes on ubuntu 7.10
[15:24] <Lap_Top> what is the best multipurpose media converter any one guide me from where to download
[15:24] <bazhang> ricanelite: pastebin it please
[15:24] <bruenig> Lap_Top: ffmpeg
[15:24] <Odd-rationale> Raven: I reccomend you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto
[15:24] <prince_jammys> Lap_Top: mencoder and ffmpeg
[15:24] <seamus_ie> Lap_Top: mencoder is pretty good
[15:24] <julian_> seamus_ie, im compiling a new kernel into a package
[15:24] <bazhang> ricanelite: not in the channel
[15:24] <simmerz> whenever i fire up my laptop, the hard disc spins and does stuff for ages.... is it something to do with indexing or something?
[15:24] <seamus_ie> julian_: using checkinstall?
[15:24] <bruenig> ffmpeg > mencoder
[15:24] <ricanelite> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60866/
[15:24] <Raven> Lots of reading to do, alright.  I'm lucky I only have 3 classes this semester.
[15:25] <HardyOne> Raven, dont have to learn it all today :)
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> simmerz, see if it isnt trackerd or something like that.
[15:25] <Lap_Top> seamus_ie: from where i can download mencoder
[15:25] <genii> aspire: No, it's a Gnome based browser for CVS
[15:25] <Raven> Final question, is there a way to run an app on Ubuntu that is made for Windows only?
[15:25] <HardyOne> Lap_Top, from repos
[15:25] <seamus_ie> Lap_Top: sudo apt-get install mencoder
[15:25] <HardyOne> !wine | Raven
[15:25] <Odd-rationale> !wine | Raven
[15:25] <ubotu> Raven: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[15:25] <seamus_ie> Raven: wine
[15:25] <Lamego> Raven, you can try it with wine, and as last resource, vmware
[15:26] <bazhang> ricanelite: did you install from the repos?
[15:26] <Odd-rationale> HardyOne: Beat you again! ;)
[15:26] <ricanelite> yes
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb
[15:26] <ubotu> The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[15:26] <aspire> thanks, that sounds ideal, does it allow developer access? genii
[15:26] <HardyOne> Odd-rationale, not on my screen you didnt
[15:26] <julian_> seamus_ie,  havent used it cause make-kpkg crashes on compiling before
[15:26] <ricanelite> when is th new ubuntu coming out?>
[15:26] <rsk> !release
[15:26] <bazhang> late april ricanelite
[15:26] <Odd-rationale> HardyOne: hmm.
[15:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years.   Must say I never realized how bloated and slow Windows was until I tried out Ubuntu.
[15:26] <seamus_ie> julian_: ok so the prob is in compiling the kernel? whats the initial error?
[15:26] <ricanelite> looking nice
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> simmerz, trackered should settle down after a bit.
[15:27] <bazhang> ricanelite: that error message is from configuring the mouse?
[15:27] <Vadi> How can I mount a swap patrition?
[15:27] <ricanelite> well thats the message i got when trying to load up zsnes
[15:27] <ricanelite> from the terminal
[15:27] <seamus_ie> Vadi: why would you want to?
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, What are you trying to do?
[15:27] <Vadi> Because it's there, but not mounted
[15:27] <bazhang> ricanelite: are you using a mouse to play zsnes?
[15:27] <Vadi> "free" shows it as zero
[15:28] <simmerz> Jack_Sparrow: but *every* time it fires up??? Almost makes my core 2 duo laptop completely unresponsive!
[15:28] <genii> aspire: Since I use Subversion and not CVS I don't know about the capabilities of gcvs, other than it exists in the repositories
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, it only uses it as needed, and often it is not.
[15:28] <ricanelite> well the kb and mouse is all i have connected right now
[15:28] <ricanelite> but i do have a USB Gamepad controller
[15:28] <ricanelite> should I connect it in
[15:28] <Vadi> Jack_Sparrow: But it's not
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> simmerz, you can turn it off...
[15:28] <Vadi> "Swap:            0          0          0"
[15:28] <simmerz> Jack_Sparrow: where?
[15:28] <simmerz> oh - indexing preference
[15:28] <Vadi> It usually shows numbers of how big is it when it's working..
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, swapon ?
[15:28] <bazhang> ricanelite: best to get a usb controller for that and configure through the zsnes setup screen
[15:28] <seamus_ie> Vadi:  a swap partition is used as a temporary storage area, you can turn it off but i wouldn't reccomend it
[15:29] <Vadi> I want to turn it on
[15:29] <ricanelite> well i don't get a setup screen
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> simmerz, get it ok?
[15:29] <HardyOne> Odd-rationale, my timestamp still shows me in the lead lmao
[15:29] <balle> Vadi: swap partitions are sometimes used as RAM, but totally unnescesarry, you can delete it with gparted if you want...
[15:29] <bazhang> ricanelite: you have to go into the control panel for that
[15:29] <Vadi> balle: no, I want to turn it on, not off!
[15:29] <simmerz> yeah cheers
[15:29] <aspire> does not look like I will be able to upload to it, genii any suggestions as to how I could go about this would be fantastic
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> great
[15:29] <ricanelite> ok
[15:29] <ricanelite> do you know if a PS3 controller will work?
[15:29] <balle> vadi: it doesnt have any function AFAIK
[15:30] <simmerz> Jack_Sparrow: might just slow it down and see if that works first
[15:30] <bazhang> ricanelite: and then you have to map what each key does it is very intuitive
[15:30] <ricanelite> ok
[15:30] <shemgp> !swap
[15:30] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[15:30] <Vadi> Jack_Sparrow: It's not working anymore :( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60867/
[15:30] <seamus_ie> Vadi: it should be on already, you can change something called the swappiness but I would recommend reading about it before changing it. everyone seems to have a difierent opinion about it
[15:31] <seamus_ie> Vadi: how much ram do you have?
[15:31] <Vadi> seamus_ie: I cannot get my swap to start working. I have the swap patrition in place. It's just not mounted, see this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60867/
[15:32] <ricanelite> okay, what is mythtv? is that similar to media center on the windows side?
[15:32] <seamus_ie> Vadi:  swap partitions are not mounted
[15:32] <shemgp> Vadi: make sure the swap partition is in the /etc/fstab
[15:32] <bazhang> ricanelite: think tivo but free
[15:32] <ricanelite> um
[15:32] <ricanelite> nice
[15:32] <Vadi> Yes it is
[15:32] <bieb> ricanelite: like TiVO   Linuxmce.com for Win Media center type
[15:32] <ricanelite> but i will need to have a TV Turner
[15:33] <bieb> yes
[15:33] <bazhang> true
[15:33] <shemgp> Vadi: swapon -a ?
[15:33] <deamon3> hey
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, were you moving any partitions around or resizing them
[15:33] <Vadi> shemgp: didn't work http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60867/
[15:33] <Vadi> Jack_Sparrow: Not in a while
[15:33] <vaesoli> Can anyone in here help me with my sound card issue?
[15:33] <deamon3> for when is ready hardy heron  ?¡
[15:33] <Vadi> But I haven't rebooted for 5 days now... just kept suspending my laptop. Could that have done it?
[15:34] <Pici> deamon3: End of april. support/discussion in #ubuntu+1
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, Do a uuid and see if you messed it up awhile back and are just now seeing it.
[15:34] <Vadi> Jack_Sparrow: how?
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[15:34] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[15:35] <Lap_Top> i have installed the mencoder but i cant find it anywhere in my application
[15:35] <seamus_ie> Lap_Top: it is a command line application, man mencoder
[15:35] <Vadi> Jack: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60868/
[15:36] <Gizmo_The_Great> Is there a way to set 'gThumb Image Viewer' as my automatic JPEG picture viewer? At the moment it's 'Eye of Gnome 2.2'
[15:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, compare the uuid of blkid to the uuid you are trying to use for swap.. they dont seem to match
[15:36] <Lap_Top> is there any GUI application for media convertor
[15:36] <Lap_Top> seamus_ie: Is there any GUI media convertor for multi purpose
[15:37] <Vadi> Jack_Sparrow: True. What now?
[15:37] <seamus_ie> Lap_Top: i don't know any for gnome off the top of my head, sorry
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> VAdwhen you played with the partitions you changed uuid on your swap partition.
[15:37] <daning> Gizmo_The_Great: right click at a jpeg file. then click property->open with
[15:37] <Lap_Top> seamus_ie: can i use my infra red remote at TV Time
[15:38] <daning> Gizmo_The_Great: and select the application
[15:38] <erUSUL> !info soundconverter | Lap_Top
[15:38] <Vadi> Jack_Sparrow: I haven't in ages though... probably not since I got the laptop. But how can I fix it?
[15:38] <ubotu> lap_top: soundconverter (source: soundconverter): Convert audio files into other formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6-1 (gutsy), package size 65 kB, installed size 428 kB
[15:38] <jburd> I need to issue a command as soon as networking is up and working when my computer starts up.  Where should this command be placed?
[15:38] <Lap_Top> erUSUL: I M Looking For Multi Purpose Media Convertor for Audio and Video
[15:39] <Gizmo_The_Great> daning, sorry. I not explained properly. Yes, I know how to do that but I mean automatically, i.e. when I click the file I just want it to open using gThumb by default instead of Eye of Gnome
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[15:39] <Odd-rationale> Lap_Top: I know of one that is not in the repos... It is pretty good, though
[15:39] <daning> Lap_Top: audacity can convert some audio.
[15:40] <jburd> The command is a wakeonlan broadcast that needs to be issued.
[15:40] <Odd-rationale> Lap_Top: Let me get link...
[15:40] <jburd> Placing it in /etc/rc.local didn't work.
[15:40] <Vadi> Jack: http://paste.stgraber.org/1942
[15:40] <buttterz> morning -- how can i help someone :)
[15:40] <Odd-rationale> Lap_Top: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Fuoco++audio\video+converter++and+more+?content=73886
[15:41] <daning> Gizmo_The_Great: when once you select the application, next time, the application will be the default open with application
[15:41] <bartmon> Hey guys. Is there a reason why the Ubuntu liveCD installer doesn't want to mount anything other than ext3?
[15:41] <daning> Gizmo_The_Great: and do you mean to set the application by command line?
[15:41] <erUSUL> jburd: /etc/rc.local ?
[15:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Vadi, http://paste.stgraber.org/1943                 but plase make a copy before you restart
[15:41] <buttterz> bartmon , are you trying to repair a volume?
[15:42] <amortvigil> what does this error mean and how can i fix it sox stio: Can't open input file `04. Onwards.ogg': No such file or directory ?
[15:42] <jburd> erUSUL: I want to issue this command as soon as my box starts up with networking up as well:  wakeonlan -f /etc/wakeonlan.wol
[15:42] <Gizmo_The_Great> daning, Thanks, but that does not seem to be the case. I constantly having to tell Ubuntu to use gThmb instead of EOG every time. And no, not by command line (I realise I can just type gthumb photo.jpg) - I am referring to within the GUI
[15:42] <cdc> Antiv-virus for Ubuntu 7.10 - [i know being linux it isn't really necessary for the most part] but which one is recommended to use?
[15:42] <jburd> erUSUL: Where should I place that command?
[15:43] <bartmon> buttterz: No, i'm installing on an already partitioned disk. I wanted to use reiserfs for /boot and / but if i choose anything other than ext3 for the 2  the installer complains that it can't mount them and returns me to the partition setup.
[15:43] <jburd> cdc: You don't need an anti-virus for Linux computers.  If you're running mail servers or public shares, you might need one that runs to check those to protect Windows computers.
[15:43] <erUSUL> jburd: before the exit 0 keyword on /etc/rc.local
[15:43] <ngabriel_> anyone working on an xbmc app for iphone sdk?
[15:43] <buttterz> bartmon , i'm not sure you can -- are you in a graphical installation?
[15:44] <jburd> erUSUL: I tried that. I'll do that again.  One sec.
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !virus
[15:44] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[15:44] <cdc> jburd - I know you don't but is there one out there because I cannot join my ubuntu computer to my work domain until it has one.
[15:44] <daning> Gizmo_The_Great: I think something must be wrong with you ubuntu.
[15:44] <seamus_ie> bartmon: this is because the kernel only has ext3 drivers compiled into it.
[15:44] <jburd> Why can't you join them?
[15:44] <jburd> @ cdc
[15:44] <bazhang> cdc clamav in the repos; also avast has one for linux
[15:44] <Gizmo_The_Great> daning, yes - that is what I thought initially but I thought I'd check here in case I was doing something daft
[15:45] <bartmon> seamus_ie: Ah... But not even ext2 support which is a subset of ext3? :)
[15:45] <cdc> jburd, company policy, any computer on domain must have firewall/antivirus regardless of OS.
[15:45] <qcjn> how can i share a hd via network ubuntu 7.10
[15:45] <cdc> bazhang, thanks, will check them out.
[15:45] <jburd> cdc: Tell them that this OS doesn't have viruses?
[15:45] <Lamego> cdc, such policy is not applicable to all Unixes
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> cdc, iptables count as firewall, you run a higher risk if you install an iptable manager aka firewall on top of it
[15:46] <cdc> jburd, the domain admins understand that but they are political and want to keep a standard.
[15:46] <seamus_ie> bartmon: yup, you could compile a kernel with reiserfs support built in or just use ext3 for /boot and / and use reiserfs for /home
[15:46] <danand> bartmon - ext3 and ext2 are seperate kernel modules - modprobe -l | grep ext
[15:46] <jburd> cdc: Tell them to find and install one for you.  That will teach them.
[15:46] <cdc> Jack_Sparrow, is there a manual on how to manipulate your iptables.
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> cdc, only due to the users experience level, no slight intended to the applications firestarter or guarddog
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> cdc, from term man iptables
[15:46] <bartmon> seamus_ie, danand: Thanks for the info.
[15:46] <Filled-Void> Hi all . When i try to run a program I wrote in Anjuta (Im new to using this or Programming on Linux for that matter) I get the Error: Program '/home/biju/Desktop/test1' is not a local file . COuld anyone tell me what I am missing
[15:47] <cdc> Jack_Sparrow, thx
[15:47] <Jack_Sparrow> cdc, you will find clamav works great at scanning windows files
[15:47] <Lamego> cdc, but those corp like policies are you sure you are alllowed to run a non standard OS ?
[15:47] <buttterz> Filled-Void , thats odd! -- umm first of all what language
[15:47] <Lamego> by
