[02:50] <Arry> jhford:apparently I need one to compile the alsa utils package thing, do you know how I get it?
[02:50] <NickGarvey> who_cares: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:51] <Arry> sorry, I'm noob-tastic
[02:51] <Jarekb84> I just got a new monitor that supports 1680x1050, but the highest resolution i can set it to is 1280x960 and when I set it to that my screen goes black. How can I get a higher resolution?
[02:51] <bob111> mcphail: that might be a good idea... Or comment out all the lines? I read that somewhere.
[02:51] <needhelp> I have 900 MB disk free on my linux/gnu partitions and 33GB free on Windows NTFS partition. Is there another way to steal more space from the Windows NTFS partition without formatting it ?
[02:51] <jhford> arry: i don't remember the package name, but it has -dev as a suffix.  Search for ncurses in synaptic
[02:51] <NickGarvey> !res  Jarekb84
[02:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about res  jarekb84 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[02:51] <Arry> thanks jhford
[02:51] <mcphail> bob111: i think network-manager gets all huffy if any other app has altered that file
[02:51] <usser> nexous: did u share that var/www folder?
[02:51] <jhford> arry: np
[02:51] <NickGarvey> Jarekb84: pretty much, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and then follow the prompts should do it, but that link would be good to look over
[02:52] <nexous> usser: yes.
[02:52] <bob111> Hm, weird as I haven't even touched it on this install.
[02:52] <synjet> jhford: you could increase/decrease partition space using "gparted"
[02:52] <jhford> network manager is a hissy little program
[02:52] <who_cares> thanks
[02:52] <Jarekb84> ok thanks guys, I'll look over the info suggested
[02:52] <usser> nexous: ok, so u have to open up /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:52] <jhford> synjet: why would i need to do that/
[02:52] <mcphail> bob111: try it anyway - you never know...
[02:52] <bob111> Alright.
[02:52] <usser> nexous: find that share and add a valid users = root
[02:52] <bob111> Be back in a few to let you guys know if it worked.
[02:52] <faeryNatsuki> hello boyz!
[02:52] <usser> nexous: and then do smbpasswd -a root
[02:53] <synjet> needhelp, sorry jhford: you could increase/decrease partition space using "gparted"
[02:53] <usser> nexous: with your password
[02:53] <nexous> usser: okay I'll give it a go
[02:53] <faeryNatsuki> dis somebody here upgraded to feisty from edgy? anything good or bad aobout it?
[02:53] <jhford> synjet: haha :P had me worried for a second
[02:53] <usser> nexous: but gotta warn u its not considered entirely safe to give samba your root user account
[02:54] <patattack> I know this is way off channel topic, but does anyone know what happened to Warren G?
[02:54] <Dquestions> so i have avant widnows navigator
[02:54] <Dquestions> how the hell do i run it
[02:54] <Dquestions> its already installed
[02:54] <synjet> faerynatsuki, depends.. fresh install is always cleaner and better
[02:54] <RAOF> Dquestions: You probably want to check out #ubuntu-effects
[02:54] <nexous> usser: smbpasswd -a root doesn't work.
[02:54] <|Zippo|> hi everybody
[02:55] <codecaine> nexous try sudo smbpasswd -a root
[02:55] <|Zippo|> someone can help me to activate my VGA and S-Video ports at my Sony Vaio FE880E?
[02:55] <needhelp> synjet: I tried. First I unmounted the NTFS partition. Then when rightclicking, the only options available are Delete, Format and Information. Resize option is an gray and inactive option
[02:55] <faeryNatsuki> synjet: but we have SCIM and other things here
[02:55] <nexous> codecaine: thanks, it works.
[02:55] <usser> nexous: what does it say?
[02:55] <patattack> |Zippo|: what video card does it use?
[02:55] <nexous> usser: it's fine now, just ran with sudo.
[02:55] <faeryNatsuki> it's painfull to changwe from edgy to feisty as was from dapper to edgy?
[02:56] <usser> nexous: oh yea sorry
[02:56] <|Zippo|> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[02:56] <Druntar> Is there a way to update the graphics driver for my video card without installing unbuntu from the live cd?
[02:56] <usser> nexous: u have to do it with sudo
[02:56] <codecaine> np
[02:56] <synjet> faerynatsuki, hmmn, it should be smooth, but there have been reports of things getting messed up.. always backup and proceed (nohing new that I could say) :)
[02:56] <patattack> |Zippo|: Sorry, haven't done it with intel. I'm sure it is easier than ATI was, though
[02:56] <zerotime> hi, anyone with a xfi working under ubuntu?
[02:56] <jhford> well my brothers, i fixed my issues, i just opened the mozilla-mplayer package in file-roller and hacked out the libraries and copied them into my 32bit directory
[02:56] <nexous> usser: I should be able to access via My Network places in windows right?
[02:56] <jhford> zerotime: no one in the world
[02:56] <zerotime> damn, but when!?
[02:56] <|Zippo|> patattack: do you have the same config to 2 monitors + ATI?
[02:57] <synjet> needhelp: oh.. then I guess you should try livecd
[02:57] <ubuntu> hii, i need a little help installing grub, i create a boot partition but is a logical partition, can i install grub on it??
[02:57] <patattack> |Zippo|: I don't use ati any more
[02:57] <|Zippo|> can you send me or past in a query to guide me?
[02:57] <|Zippo|> ahhh ok...
[02:57] <patattack> |Zippo|: went to nvidia
[02:57] <usser> nexous: yep
[02:57] <jhford> zerotime: http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html
[02:57] <usser> nexous: but u have to restart samba first
[02:57] <Druntar> what are the differences between feisty and edgy? I'm having some serious issues with feisty and my mouse.
[02:57] <nexous> usser: already have.
[02:57] <zerotime> thx jhford
[02:57] <|Zippo|> i think that it's just put another monitor section at xorg.conf
[02:57] <ubuntu> can i install grub on a logical partition?
[02:58] <crabgrass> how can i fix this?"could not access file /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority : permission denied"
[02:58] <usser> nexous: now u have to be able to have full access to var/www
[02:58] <|Zippo|> and another screen... am I right?
[02:58] <needhelp> I have 900 MB disk free on my linux/gnu partitions and 33GB free on Windows NTFS partition. Is there another way to steal more space from the Windows NTFS partition without formatting it ? gparted dont let me resize the NTFS partition.
[02:58] <nexous> usser: when I go to View workgroup computers, I double click on 'nexous-dev (Nexous-dev)', enter credentials, and then it just keeps asking for credentials.
[02:58] <patattack> |Zippo|: that wouldn't hurt to try, back up xorg.cfg first :-P
[02:58] <CSWookie_> I recently updated ubuntu, and now my sound doesn't work.  alsamixer errors with no such device.
[02:58] <usser> nexous: what do u enter there?
[02:58] <jhford> zerotime: check out a CMedia based board like the Auzentech X-Mystique, it sounds a lot better than the X-Fi, is cheaper and works in linux out of the box
[02:58] <usser> nexous: root
[02:58] <synjet> crabgrass: 1 min, I had similar prob longtime back
[02:58] <usser> nexous: and the password
[02:58] <usser> nexous: right
[02:58] <|Zippo|> patattack: thanks... i'll try
[02:58] <Druntar> that's odd needhelp, I've never had an issue using qparted to resize ntfs
[02:58] <nexous> usser: yes.
[02:58] <mcphail> crabgrass: "sudo chown dissonance:dissonance /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"
[02:59] <crabgrass> synjet: holding, thanks
[02:59] <Jarekb84> I seem to have pressed something that made the minimize,maximize, close buttons on windows dissapear...what do I do to get them back?
[02:59] <patattack> |Zippo|: I did that a long time ago with an old nvidia riva TNT2, I'm pretty sure that worked.
[02:59] <jhford> what exactly is .ICEauthority
[02:59] <bob111> Hey guys, go figure... I just restarted AGAIN, didn't change a setting and the thing worked!
[02:59] <mcphail> crabgrass: and don't run graphical programs with sudo
[02:59] <synjet> mcphail, you beat me :) crabgrass, yes it was a permission prob
[02:59] <mrrcp> hehe
[02:59] <usser> nexous: hm try adding yourself to smbpasswd
[02:59] <cp> i almost mess up X lol
[02:59] <jhford> bob111: it fixed itself automagically! network manager is an fiddly app
[03:00] <|Zippo|> i'll try
[03:00] <cp> xorg is nasty
[03:00] <nexous> usser: I have added my username to it already...
[03:00] <bob111> It's weird it didn't fix itself the FIRST time I restarted.
[03:00] <crabgrass> mcphail, synjet: i cant run anthing, i can't even log in
[03:00] <synjet> crabgrass: failsafe terminal mode
[03:00] <nexous> usser: 'valud users = nexous root'
[03:00] <nexous> valid*
[03:00] <|Zippo|> nexous: i'm getting the same troubles with nautilus here
[03:00] <mcphail> crabgrass: press "ctrl-alt-f2" and log in there
[03:00] <bob111> Is there a Pidgin package yet?
[03:00] <crabgrass> mcphail: you mean i cant do things like "sudo gparted"?
[03:00] <jhford> bob111: why?  it is one release
[03:00] <TheUni9> Hi
[03:00] <mcphail> crabgrass: no - use gksudo
[03:00] <TheUni9> confidential
[03:00] <usser> nexous: yea but did u do smbpasswd -a nexous
[03:00] <|Zippo|> nexous: if you fix it, please tell me how
[03:00] <fierycleric> !find pidgin
[03:00] <CVirus> !vjava > CVirus
[03:01] <CVirus> !java > CVirus
[03:01] <usser> nexous: i had this same exact problem
[03:01] <CVirus> oops
[03:01] <cp> ooOO  sopranos
[03:01] <ubotu> Package/file pidgin does not exist in feisty
[03:01] <nexous> usser: I did smbpasswd -a nexous and smbpasswd -a root
[03:01] <hellbound1> damn I'm gettin' good and quick with ubuntu
[03:01] <synjet> !gksudo?crabgrass
[03:01] <needhelp> Druntar: gparted. First I unmounted the NTFS partition. Then when rightclicking, the only options available are Delete, Format and Information. Resize option is an gray and inactive option. The NTFS is the primary and boot partition and has a yellow exclamation mark ("!") to the left of the partition icon
[03:01] <bob111> Just wondering because I know it's an upgrade from gaim, just not sure if it's any good.
[03:01] <mike__> is anyeone else having a problem locking their screen with fiesty?
[03:01] <synjet> !gksudo>crabgrass
[03:01] <jhford> bob111: pidgin is just GAIM 2.0 Beta7
[03:01] <cp> !xconf
[03:01] <bob111> Oh.
[03:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xconf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:01] <cp> hrm
[03:01] <bob111> Well, I guess my next job is Automatix and then I should be set to go.
[03:01] <nexous> usser: want me to display my smb.conf file?
[03:01] <usser> nexous: hm ok, backup your /etc/samba/smb.conf file
[03:01] <bob111> Not sure if I'm going to go with KDE or not.
[03:01] <jhford> bob111: NOOOOO
[03:01] <jhford> automatix is the devil
[03:01] <crabgrass> synjet: oh wow, never knew that. thanks
[03:01] <usser> nexous: nexous yea
[03:01] <bob111> Really?
[03:02] <usser> nexous: pastebin it
[03:02] <RAOF> !automatix > bob111
[03:02] <synjet> bob111: try easyubuntu
[03:02] <nexous> usser: okay.
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: it is horible, don't use any of those crap scripts
[03:02] <bob111> Oh, haha.
[03:02] <crabgrass> synjet: but is there a way to get my .ICEauthority back to the way it used to be?
[03:02] <bob111> Okay, okay, okay.
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: what do you want to use it for
[03:02] <crabgrass> synjet: so i can log in?>
[03:02] <bob111> I'll go easy ubuntu :P
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: easy ubunutu is just as bad
[03:02] <bob111> Um... Flash, Java, codecs.
[03:02] <usser> nexous: i remember my pblem was that i used gui to setup smb first and it kept messing up
[03:02] <mcphail> crabgrass: i told you how, above
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: those are simple
[03:02] <zerotime> dont use that, find the appropiate sources for apt
[03:02] <usser> nexous: then i just did it by hand and everything worked
[03:02] <zerotime> the install
[03:02] <nexous> usser: I also did that already.
[03:02] <ubuntu> hii, i need a little help, i'm installing ubuntu right now, windows cracches my old ubuntu
[03:02] <zerotime> its easy
[03:02] <jhford> without automatix
[03:02] <synjet> crabgrass: everything is same, just type the command that mcphail asked to.. that should fix
[03:02] <ubuntu> can i install grub on a logical partition???
[03:02] <bob111> It worked well for my last time but it was a mess.
[03:03] <bob111> You're right, it was a mess.
[03:03] <crabgrass> mcphail: ctrl-alt-f2, thene log in. got that. i want xfce back, though.
[03:03] <jhford> bob111: they are garbage.  make sure you have all the repositories enabled in synaptic, then search for flash non-free, sun-java6
[03:03] <mcphail> crabgrass: "sudo chown dissonance:dissonance /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"
[03:03] <bob111> Alright, well... I'm going to make a list of things and then maybe someone can help me out with some...
[03:03] <crabgrass> mcphail: one sec.
[03:03] <bob111> Okay, I'll give that a go.
[03:03] <zerotime> automatix seems to work, but later on, when you need an update or now what u got installed it really meses it all up
[03:03] <bob111> I've been out of the loop for a while... I got sucked into Vista.
[03:03] <nexous> usser: http://www.pastebin.ca/476360
[03:04] <jhford> bob111: also, install gstreamer0.10 good bad ugly including multiverse versions
[03:04] <mcphail> crabgrass: then "chmod 600 /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"
[03:04] <zerotime> jhford, any web site to check linux compatible hardware?
[03:04] <jhford> bob111 also install the xine/libxine ffmpeg plugin, and get a real media player (VLC/Mplayer)
[03:05] <bob111> Yeah, I always get VLC.
[03:05] <RAOF> jhford: My Totem objects to that :P
[03:05] <jhford> zerotime: tons, but they are no good from my experience
[03:05] <bob111> I also always have the problem integrating VLC with firefox for streams.
[03:05] <jhford> RAOF:  haha,  well my totem shifts all the colors!
[03:05] <crabgrass> mcphail: didn't work, same error
[03:05] <jhford> bob111: mozilla-mplayer
[03:05] <bob111> I hate to ask this jhford, but can you type all the things you told me to get in a pvt message?
[03:06] <jhford> yah sure
[03:06] <jhford> msg me
[03:06] <usser> nexous: ah there we go
[03:06] <usser> nexous: invalid users = root
[03:06] <bob111> Because right now I'm reloading package info
[03:06] <usser> nexous: comment it out
[03:06] <mcphail> crabgrass: what is the output from "ls -l /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"?
[03:06] <nexous> usser: okay.
[03:07] <nexous> usser: woot! in the system we are :-p
[03:07] <usser> nexous: congrats
[03:07] <usser> nexous: =)
[03:07] <mike__> is anyeone else having a problem locking their screen with fiesty?
[03:07] <cozby> hey, I just installed ubuntu-server and this is completely foreign to me coming from fbsd... I'm trying to install x and I have no idea whats going on
[03:07] <usser> nexous: is it a work computer?
[03:08] <usser> nexous: or a home one?
[03:08] <bob111> There, PMed.
[03:08] <crabgrass> mcphail: ls: /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority: Permission Denied
[03:08] <cozby> I ran sudo apt-get install x11-common and I guess it downloaded it..?
[03:08] <usser> nexous: cause its still not safe
[03:08] <mcphail> crabgrass: "ls -l /home/dissonance"
[03:08] <nexous> usser: ehhh, more like a home devstation.
[03:08] <crabgrass> mcphail: k
[03:08] <cozby> also how does one view available packages.. I use apt-cache search <whatever> buuut I dont see my package (xfce)?
[03:08] <synjet> cozby: after installing xserver, gdm.. "startx" command  should get you going
[03:08] <usser> nexous: what i'd is change permissions on var/www to include your local nexous user and then try to use this instead of root
[03:09] <cozby> synjet: gdm?
[03:09] <usser> nexous: cause enabling root in samba is not entirely safe
[03:09] <nexous> usser: okay.
[03:09] <crabgrass> mcphail: oh shit... everything has ????'s where the permissions should be
[03:09] <usser> nexous: try to sudo chown /var/www
[03:09] <jvai> hey ty ppls.. enjoi the wathr
[03:09] <synjet> cozby: gnome desktop manager
[03:09] <mcphail> crabgrass: paste the line
[03:09] <bob111> The apt servers are sooooo slow, haha.
[03:09] <cozby> synjet: I'm trying to find xfce, but no cigar?
[03:09] <cozby> might you know what the package is called?
[03:09] <crabgrass> mcphail: which one?
[03:10] <^punisher> Hi
[03:10] <mcphail> crabgrass: "ls -l /home/dissonance"
[03:10] <Frizz0> Hi
[03:10] <crabgrass> mcphail: btw i'm on a second computer right now
[03:10] <jhford> bob111: still there?
[03:10] <synjet> cozby: sudo apt-get install xserver xubuntu-desktop
[03:10] <crabgrass> mcphail: i'll take a picture of it

[03:10] <synjet> cozby: ok, let me know if that works (it should)
[03:10] <Frizz0> out of interest
[03:10] <bob111> Okay?
[03:10] <^punisher> secret
[03:11] <mrgxr> is anyeone else having a problem locking their screen with fiesty?
[03:11] <jhford> bob111: msg me, i can't msg you
[03:11] <nexous> usser: what am i missing in the command
[03:11] <RAOF> mrgxr: No, not I
[03:11] <synjet> mrgxr: I have heard from *some*, though a minority.. not me
[03:11] <nexous> do i run nexous or root after command
[03:11] <bob111> jhford: I have messaged you, I dunno, I'm using GAIM right now until I get xchat.
[03:11] <bob111> Do you have MSN? That might work out easier...
[03:11] <usser> nexous: sudo chown nexous:nexous /var/www
[03:11] <jhford> yah
[03:11] <cozby> synjet: err.. it says the package xserver is not available, package is missing or obsolete or avail from another source...
[03:12] <nexous> usser: no backslash after www?
[03:12] <cozby> synjet: i guess the default apt source they got sucks
[03:12] <magez> drivers works \o/ thanks
[03:12] <mrgxr> because the hotkeys wont lock for me and when i try to use the power button it gives me an error
[03:12] <usser> nexous: should work without it
[03:12] <nexous> usser:okay, now what?
[03:12] <cozby> synjet: I ran update prior to anything also... should I edit the source.list file with a better server?
[03:12] <bob111> jhford: Join #bobhelp
[03:12] <usser> nexous: great now go ahead and disable root again in smb.conf
[03:13] <crabgrass> mcphail: uploading
[03:13] <synjet> cozby: no. the default ones are pretty good.. just try xfce-desktop.. I guess it would pull the relevant xserver packages
[03:13] <usser> nexous: make invalid user again
[03:13] <usser> nexous: and try to login using your credentials
[03:13] <nexous> usser: okay, now will i just login with username nexous?
[03:13] <usser> nexous: supposedly
[03:13] <crabgrass> mcphail: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/dissonance_ms/DSC00162.jpg
[03:13] <nexous> usser: okay, test 2.

[03:13] <Shaba1> Hello folks
[03:13] <ztomic> Feisty is cool as heck!
[03:13] <cozby> kk
[03:13] <mcphail> cozby: you trying to install xfce?
[03:13] <cozby> mcphail: yah man
[03:14] <mcphail> cozby: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:14] <Shaba1> I have a unbuntu live cd that I want to install on a ntfs drive that is going to get a NEW windows installation
[03:14] <usser> ztomic: u bet ;)
[03:14] <cozby> to be honest i've heard nothing but praise for ubuntu, but this is more painful than setting up netbsd
[03:14] <nexous> usser: Now I'm getting \\Nexous-dev is not accessible. on my windows machine. It doesn't even ask for credentials.
[03:14] <Shaba1> should I install windows from cd first
[03:14] <mcphail> cozby: that is a meta-package which should pull in everthing you need
[03:14] <Shaba1> or install ubuntu first
[03:14] <hou5ton> with 7.04, can one safely "save" files to ntfs?
[03:14] <synjet> cozby, it is only the GUI part for the server..
[03:15] <theconartist> Shaba1, windows first is usually the most hastle-free way
[03:15] <usser> nexous: bah windows have a sick habbit of saving your last worked credentials for u
[03:15] <RAOF> hou5ton: Almost
[03:15] <usser> nexous: so it still tries root
[03:15] <sripple0502> how do i run the make uninstall command
[03:15] <nexous> usser: reboot? or do i reset cache or something?
[03:15] <pheaver> can someone help me with nfs?  It was working fine, but after I switched the client computer from gentoo to ubuntu, it just freezes when I try to mount
[03:15] <nvc> usser bah lol
[03:15] <usser> nexous: frankly i dont know the other way to make it stop other than restarting
[03:15] <Flannel> cozby: the other solution is to download a CD with a GUI on it, and then add whatever server stuff you'd like
[03:15] <Shaba1> I have already repartiioned the HD from the live cd using gparted from 37gb to 26gb ntfs/11gb unallocated
[03:15] <hou5ton> RAOF: :-) .... well ... in other words, .. NO?
[03:15] <cozby> Flannel: yeah I guess I could do that...
[03:15] <usser> nvc: what?
[03:15] <nexous> usser: okay, well if I have any trouble, I'll be back, if not, I won't, Thanks for your help though.
[03:16] <nvc> usser are u gaucho kkk
[03:16] <cozby> I thought the server version would be that.
[03:16] <Flannel> sripple0502: just like that, provided your makefile has a remove command.
[03:16] <synjet> cozby, then try xubuntu (though xubuntu-desktop should work fine)
[03:16] <ward_> how do i know wich IO-port is my serial port? its com1 in windows
[03:16] <sripple0502> ok thanks
[03:16] <usser> nvc: gaucho?
[03:16] <RAOF> hou5ton: Check out !ntfs-config.  It uses ntfs-3g, which is pretty safe (as in, no-one has reported data loss)
[03:16] <axl000> whats the difference between gtk and metacity?
[03:16] <crabgrass> mcphail: should i just chown and chmod -R my ~/ ?
[03:16] <Flannel> cozby: Well, the server version is just a normal install, sans GUI stuff.
[03:16] <nvc> usser forget...
[03:16] <cozby> ah
[03:16] <pheaver> axl000: they're completely different :)
[03:16] <preaction> axl000: gtk is a gui toolkit, metacity is a window manager
[03:16] <usser> nvc: forget what?
[03:16] <synjet> axl000: gtk is the engine behind gnome.. metacity is the window manager
[03:16] <Flannel> cozby: really, the only difference (in any "version") is just the default choice of installed packages
[03:17] <sripple0502> it says make comand not found...???
[03:17] <Safrole> I'm trying to install a latex plugin for pidgin called ugha!, here is the following problem when I run make http://pastebin.ca/476378
[03:17] <mcphail> crabgrass: what are the permissions just now?
[03:17] <usser> nvc: did u say something lol :)
[03:17] <nvc> usser kkkkkkk
[03:17] <jsoto> some body, knows how can i record from my mic??
[03:17] <crabgrass> mcphail: now? looks like the permissions are ??????
[03:17] <cozby> Flannel: so I could have just installed Ubuntu desktop and throw on some server packages and thats it.
[03:17] <ward_> how do i know wich IO-port is my serial port? its com1 in windows
[03:17] <Flannel> cozby: yep.  ubuntu, or kubuntu, or xubuntu.  And then add whatever daemons you want.
[03:17] <cozby> or xubuntu whatever
[03:17] <axl000> ubuntu uses gtk2?
[03:18] <halpern> Does anyone know what can play mss: in ubuntu?
[03:18] <halpern> i can't seem to be able to watch videos from channel9.msdn.com
[03:18] <synjet> halpern: vlc plays mms
[03:18] <nvc> halpern play patience kkk
[03:18] <hellbound1> I'm getting really damn good with desktop ubuntu damn this OS is a hella more fun then shitty microsoft
[03:18] <crabgrass> !permissions > crabgrass
[03:18] <hou5ton> RAOF: I haven't installed Ubuntu yet ... want to make sure it can work off of my NTFS partition ... so .. i guess the ntfs-config is part of the options with 7.04?
[03:18] <Flannel> Safrole: Pidgin isn't supported in this channel, you might ask in the pidgin channel
[03:18] <hellbound1> atleast I've got a challenge with attempting to figure it out
[03:18] <axl000> im searching for gnome themes, and there are gtk2 themes, and metacity themes
[03:18] <synjet> !multimedia > halpern
[03:18] <mcphail> cozby: many people choose not to run X on a server, hence the separate disk.   And if by "work off of my NTFS partition" you mean "I can install it to my NTFS partition", then you'd be wrong.
[03:19] <Flannel> sripple0502: Did you remove the source stuff already?
[03:19] <Safrole> Define "even in" ubuntu
[03:19] <hou5ton> RA
[03:19] <Flannel> Safrole: Pidgin is not in the repositories, therefore isn't supported.
[03:19] <sripple0502> no im trying to install ndiswrapper and its giving me problems
[03:19] <atarinox> how do they have gaim in feisty? i thought they had to change it
[03:19] <scot524> I have a 60 mb USB external drive and wish to use with Ubuntu operating systems only. Currently, the drive is using the NTFS file system, but I would like to repartition and format it. Is ext3 the correct choice?
[03:19] <Shaba1> xubuntu was the only way I could get linux on my laptop
[03:19] <sripple0502> what do you mean delete the source stuff?
[03:19] <hou5ton> RAOF: no ... just meant being able to open files in My Documents, change them, and then save them back.
[03:19] <Shaba1> unless I wanted to try DSL
[03:19] <cozby> mcphail: yeah, no need to run X on a server.. I just thought what the hell, I'll give ubuntu a spin with a GUI
[03:19] <RAOF> hou5ton: In that case.  Yes. :)
[03:20] <ward_> how do i know wich IO-port is my serial port? its com1 in windows
[03:20] <Flannel> sripple0502: After compiling whatever program you installed, did you remove the source? or whats the case?
[03:20] <mcphail> cozby: adding the gui is pretty painless :)
[03:20] <Flannel> usser: Because its GAIM beta 6.  It was still called GAIM at thta point.
[03:20] <sripple0502> im a noob i know but i havent installed it yet ive only unpacked it from the tar.gz  i havent removed the tar file if thats what your asking...thanks for your help
[03:20] <crabgrass> anyone know what a bunch of ????? where my permissions should be means?
[03:21] <synjet> scot524: ntfs is better (so that you can switch b/w other comps)... but if ubuntu-only-use, then ya ext3
[03:21] <Flannel> sripple0502: if you havent installed it, why are you trying to remove it?
[03:21] <sripple0502> thats what the directions say
[03:21] <Flannel> sripple0502: what are you trying to install anyway?
[03:21] <sripple0502> kinda weird i thought of it too
[03:21] <sripple0502> but i cant issue a make command is there a reason why?
[03:21] <openminddj> Can someone assist me with the package manager.  When I go to update I have three failed repos and have no idea why
[03:21] <scot524> synjet: ubuntu use only --- I am going with ext3, thx!
[03:21] <usser> sripple0502: did u do ./configure?
[03:22] <Flannel> openminddj: which repositories
[03:22] <sripple0502> no whats that do?
[03:22] <Flannel> sripple0502: what are you trying to install?
[03:22] <cac__> hi room
[03:22] <usser> sripple0502: that configures the package before make
[03:22] <XmagicX> hi
[03:22] <sripple0502> ndiswrapper a driver for my wireless nic
[03:22] <Flannel> !wifi | sripple0502
[03:22] <ubotu> sripple0502: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:22] <openminddj> Flannel: want me to paste them? there are 3
[03:22] <Flannel> sripple0502: follow that guide.  Ndiswrapper is already available in a repository, there's no need to compile it
[03:22] <Flannel> openminddj: Just give the URLs, put them all on one line

[03:23] <karlito> Hi. I got a computer running with ubuntu-server 6.06, I try to set a static ip by editing /etc/network/interfaces and end up not able to communicate with the other computer is connect to. any idea ?
[03:23] <SpiderDan> hello!  I'm having a couple problems with 7.04... first one is, I can't get display to set to 1280x1024.  I've modified the Screen portion of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include "1280x1024" for all 6 display subsections...
[03:23] <sripple0502> ohh thanks flannel
[03:23] <sripple0502> big help
[03:23] <openminddj> Flannel: Whoops, not quite one line
[03:23] <crabgrass> mcphail: anything?
[03:23] <SpiderDan> but it still only offers 1024x768 in the Screen Resolution dialog
[03:23] <sripple0502> how do i scroll up in irssi?
[03:23] <Flannel> openminddj: er... pastebin your sources.list
[03:24] <mcphail> crabgrass: you were going to show me a screenshot
[03:24] <Flannel> sripple0502: pageup
[03:24] <bimberi> sripple0502: PageUp key
[03:24] <crabgrass> http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/dissonance_ms/DSC00162.jpg
[03:24] <openminddj> where is sources.list?  Im new to ubuntu
[03:24] <synjet> karlito: doesnt allow ssh-ing into the server?
[03:24] <Flannel> openminddj: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:24] <Flannel> !paste | openminddj
[03:24] <ubotu> openminddj: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:25] <bobstro> crabgrass:  i did that to my system recently.
[03:25] <mcphail> crabgrass: "ls -l /home"?
[03:26] <usser> nvc: wth im not gaucho
[03:26] <nvc> haha
[03:26] <jhford> well, goodnight everyone
[03:26] <karlito> synjet the server can take inbound tranmission if it dhcp the client, but not initialize a outbound transmission from the server
[03:26] <mcphail> crabgrass: and tell me the details of the "dissonance" line
[03:26] <bobstro> crabgrass:  sorry i'm coming in late. do you mount ext2/3 under windows?
[03:26] <usser> nvc: heh
[03:26] <karlito> maybey the gateway... is not set properly ? or the route table ?
[03:26] <o1> ooook
[03:26] <usser> read wiki page
[03:26] <o1> good evening
[03:27] <o1> havnig a problem
[03:27] <synjet> karlito: oh, the net seems to be down on  the server but still properly functions as a server (allowing inbound requests).. right?
[03:27] <o1> is there a line?
[03:27] <usser> bobstro: u can ext2 at least
[03:27] <karlito> yes right :)
[03:27] <openminddj> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19722/
[03:27] <SpiderDan> any suggestions on why the Screen Resolution dialog only offers up to 1024x768 when /etc/X11/xorg.conf has 1280x1024 as an option for all display subsections?
[03:27] <bobstro> usser:  yes, trying to figure out if that's what is causing crabgrass problems.
[03:27] <usser> bobstro: oh
[03:27] <crabgrass> bobstro: how'd you fix it?
[03:27] <openminddj> SpiderDan: Do you have your monitor type included in xorg.conf or does it display the generic monitor type?
[03:28] <RAOF> Spider-Dan: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log - that will probably tell you (or us) why Xorg doesn't think 1280x1024 is a valid resolution
[03:28] <crabgrass> mcphail: it's "ls -l /home/dissonance"
[03:28] <bobstro> crabgrass:  well i didn't fix it, but if figured out why it was happening. not sure if it'd apply to your case though.
[03:28] <RAOF> SpiderDan: Also, pastebin your xorg.conf while you're at it :)
[03:28] <bobstro> crabgrass:  so i *avoid* it now.
[03:28] <crabgrass> bobstro: and no, i didn't try to mount anything
[03:28] <SpiderDan> monitor is set to generic monitor type currently
[03:28] <mcphail> crabgrass: yes, but i want to know "ls -l /home"
[03:28] <halpern> the mms: link is trying to open Totem by default
[03:28] <Flannel> openminddj: er... that's how it looks in the file?
[03:28] <SpiderDan> I will pastebin both files
[03:28] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know why the hostname of my Ubuntu install is sabayonlinux-28 ?
[03:28] <sgtmattbaker> can I change that
[03:28] <o1> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04, after the long install it asks to restart, to which I say OK, and then it asks me to remove the cd from the drive and press enter, I do so, yet it does nt continue
[03:28] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: um..
[03:28] <bobstro> crabgrass:  ok, it may not be related then.
[03:28] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: you are running ubuntu?
[03:28] <Flannel> openminddj: the stuff at the bottom has those long lines like that?
[03:28] <usser> sgtmattbaker: are u sure u on ubuntu
[03:29] <synjet> karlito: did you cross check the network file with proper gateway , netmask etc?
[03:29] <bobstro> crabgrass:  and have you run fsck on that volume?
[03:29] <o1> so I hard reboot it, the boot menu comes up and no matter the choice I make in the menu, the screen turns off after it says ignite
[03:29] <sgtmattbaker> NickGarvey: yes.. but my name as seen on a network is sabayonlinux-28.. can I change that
[03:29] <neonimr> how can i read a flash drive
[03:29] <neonimr> ?
[03:29] <openminddj> Flannel: yes, that was a straight copt and paste
[03:29] <usser> neonimr: plug it in
[03:29] <usser> neonimr: a dialog should pop up
[03:29] <neonimr> i did
[03:29] <RAOF> sgtmattbaker: System->Administration->Network->General->Host Name
[03:29] <Arry> I'm trying to build 'alsa-utils-1.0.14rc4' and I get this message : mv: cannot stat `t-ja.gmo': No such file or directory make[2] : *** [ja.gmo]  Error 1, anybody know what I should do?
[03:29] <Flannel> openminddj: odd.  Well, that explains why.  This is all screwed up.
[03:29] <neonimr> i mean the command way
[03:30] <crabgrass> mcphail: 1 sec
[03:30] <o1> so can anyone help me?
[03:30] <o1> I'm running from the Live CD atm
[03:30] <crabgrass> bobstro: no, i haven't, i dont even know how. should i?
[03:30] <Kewlb> how do you turn off reverse dns lookup on openssh?
[03:30] <sgtmattbaker> can I change the name that my PC is identified on the network as?
[03:30] <SpiderDan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19724 is xorg.conf
[03:30] <antoniuk> I have some more questions about shell login files in ubuntu.  If BASH is set as a users shell when a user logs on /etc/profile is parsed. However I cannot find a coresponding file for TCSH.  I would have epected /etc/csh.login to be parsed, but it is not.  Does anyone know what is going on with this?
[03:30] <neonimr> i mean the command way
[03:30] <neonimr> hello
[03:30] <Kewlb> taking 1-2 mins to ssh into my ubuntu serrver
[03:31] <openminddj> Flannel: I bet this happened when I was checking and unchecking options in my package manager.  I was only choosing different sources, but when i put them back, i was left with the errors.  I believe this is a bug
[03:31] <bimberi> eddmul: well done :)
[03:31] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: /etc/hostname is where it should be set, the GUI way should work too
[03:31] <kiltedbrandon> I have a question about dd when someone gets a chance please
[03:31] <Jarekb84> how can I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Can't save my changes
[03:31] <bobstro> crabgrass:  perhaps. in my case, it was a non-root volume. fsck "cleaned up" those entries, but nothing was really salvageable.
[03:31] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  best just to ask away!
[03:31] <eddmul> thank you bimberi
[03:32] <openminddj> Flannel: Are you able to provide the default sources.list file per chance?
[03:32] <Catoptromancy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19713/
[03:32] <o1> when someone gets a chance, I'd like to get my Linux experience started
[03:32] <crabgrass> bobstro: wait, cleaned up? as in got rid of?
[03:32] <synjet> karlito: just check your /etc/network/interfaces or via network-manager, the details.. I had some trouble getting it to normal from where you are
[03:32] <Catoptromancy> Anyone know how to get ALSA on the right port
[03:32] <Catoptromancy> and remove a few timidities
[03:32] <antoniuk> Anyone on my issue with parsing /etc/csh.login at login?
[03:32] <kiltedbrandon> great -- I'm trying to get an image of the first 80G of /dev/hdb2 onto ~/Desktop/first.image
[03:32] <superkirbyartist> Hey people, I'm trying to load a DVD.
[03:32] <usser> Mutal1ty: click on install button and off u go
[03:32] <SpiderDan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19725 is Xorg.0.log
[03:32] <sgtmattbaker> how can I change the name my PC is being seen as on the network?
[03:32] <kiltedbrandon> then the same thing with the second half
[03:32] <Mutal1ty> I did
[03:33] <Flannel> openminddj: yeah, thats what it looks like.  Uh, file a bug about it (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+filebug) and include that sources.list with it (and instructions on what you did)
[03:33] <Mutal1ty> it installs, then reboots and gives me the menu
[03:33] <superkirbyartist> I want to load a DVD without proprietary software.
[03:33] <bobstro> crabgrass:  yep. they all wound up with random names in the lost&found directory, and it wasn't worth the time trying to figure which was which. you can find the entries there if it *is* something important.
[03:33] <bimberi> !upgrade | eddmul
[03:33] <ubotu> eddmul: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:33] <kiltedbrandon> I need to do this to use foremost to recover lost files
[03:33] <bobstro> crabgrass:  don't give up yet, somebody may have a clever fix, but i never found one.
[03:33] <Mutal1ty> no matter the choice I make, it starts the ignite then the monitor goes to sleep mode
[03:33] <Ranbee> hi, is it normal to have exim4 running? i have it in the results of this - sudo lsof -i
[03:33] <Flannel> openminddj: so, right now copy that sources.list down somewhere, since we'll be fixing it right now so you can have a wokring system.
[03:33] <Mutal1ty> and it does nothing
[03:33] <cables> Anyone can create a GPG key on a keyserver under any name... how do I know which one is legitimate?
[03:33] <crabgrass> mcphail: ls -ll /home returns "drw-r--r--  53  dissonance dissonance  4096 2007-05-07 dissonance
[03:33] <biggahed> hello there... can anyone help me configure my svideo to work with my tv? cant find anything that works
[03:33] <sc0tch> Anyone have recommendations on a lightweight editor with syntax hightlighting? I've been using Jed, but it doesn't play well with console in xfce.
[03:34] <crabgrass> bobstro: yeah, it's all my music, movies and photos. fairly important
[03:34] <openminddj> Flannel: in the process of doing just that.  How can i fix this in the mean time?
[03:34] <synjet> sc0tch: anjuta?
[03:34] <antoniuk> Anybody on what files ubuntu sources on login when using tcsh?
[03:34] <openminddj> Flannel: will do
[03:34] <Mutal1ty> I suspect it has no xwindow settings for resolution or something
[03:34] <preaction> cables: you have to have access to the server to put a GPG key on it, so you can probably assume the ones from the official repos are just fine and dandy
[03:34] <needhelp> sc0tch: gvim
[03:34] <Mutal1ty> but I'm not sure
[03:34] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  you might check out some of the forensics pages. lots of tools for that sort of thing, but not my area.
[03:34] <bobstro> crabgrass:  any backup?
[03:34] <Arry> what's ja.gmo, and where do I find it?
[03:34] <sgtmattbaker> how do I change my hostname (regarding to this PC's name on a network)
[03:34] <Flannel> openminddj: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19726/
[03:34] <kiltedbrandon> would they be on this server?
[03:34] <halpern> any idea how to change the default mms: tool (totem) to another one?
[03:34] <usser> sgtmattbaker: aha hsync out of range =)
[03:34] <cables> preaction, what do you mean? When I generated my key, I clicked sync and it uploaded it to Ubuntu's keyserver. I could have put any name in.
[03:34] <crabgrass> mcphail: and "drwxr-xrwx   2  root        root    16384   2007-04-27 12:30 lost+found"
[03:35] <crabgrass> bobstro: some of it
[03:35] <kiltedbrandon> I thikn I can run foremost after I create the image.  dd is confusing though
[03:35] <karlito> synjet: iface eth0 inet static - address <IP_ADDRESS> - netmask <IP_ADDRESS> - gateway <IP_ADDRESS> (one element per line)
[03:35] <usser> sgtmattbaker: for 1280x1024 mode
[03:35] <Flannel> openminddj: replace your sources.list with that one.  You might need to re-start your editor with sudo (gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)
[03:35] <cables> preaction, I don't mean repo keys, I mean gpg keys for personal email signing and stuff
[03:35] <Ranbee> can some run this command and tell if they have exim4 in the output? sudo lsof -i
[03:35] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  try searching on "forensics toolkit" and such perhaps. not aware of anything ubuntu-specific.
[03:35] <kiltedbrandon> thanks
[03:35] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  now, you're not after something like a norton ghost, right?
[03:35] <kiltedbrandon> no
[03:35] <Mutal1ty> what is the console command from a console boot to set the resolution in gnome, and then start it?
[03:35] <loco_aullador> Hello, anyone knows a good book about linux? not only for novices but for all levels, something like the linux bible lol
[03:35] <mcphail> crabgrass: hmm - try chmod u+x /home/dissonance
[03:36] <superkirbyartist> People?
[03:36] <kiltedbrandon> I'm building this box because my mom hosed her drive and wants to get some jpegs off the old drice
[03:36] <GrueTamer> brb
[03:36] <superkirbyartist> I want to watch a DVD.
[03:36] <Flannel> loco_aullador: check out the official Ubuntu book.
[03:36] <preaction> cables: oh, then you're correct. there are "key-signing" parties, where people with GPG keys bring identification to other people and they both sign off that their key is actually the person. social-networking for verification, i guess
[03:36] <bobstro> crabgrass:  if you have no better luck, and everything does wind up in lost&found, the "file" command can help you identify what is in various files. the names (e.g. .mp3) will be gone.
[03:36] <kiltedbrandon> foremost will read a dd image but not /dev/hdx
[03:36] <skrubbles> hi everyone... managed to get Ubuntu installed on this ol' computer  YAY
[03:36] <cables> preaction, okay, but where on the keyserver can I find out if a key has been signed?
[03:36] <Mutal1ty> I haven't
[03:36] <crabgrass> bobstro: i just cd'd to lost+found, and it's empty
[03:36] <loco_aullador> Flannel,  im thinking in a general linux book not only for a specific distribution
[03:36] <RAOF> SpiderDan: Ok, so the "ati" driver is seeing "1280x1024", and saying "that's an invalid mode".
[03:36] <synjet> karlito: maybe it is the netmask.. I would suggest cross-checking that with your admin/ISP.. sorry, not quite helpful
[03:36] <Mutal1ty> noone seems to be available to help
[03:36] <bobstro> crabgrass:  yes, but it won't be after the fsck.
[03:37] <crabgrass> bobstro: ah
[03:37] <bobstro> crabgrass:  think of it as "chkdsk for  linux"
[03:37] <sgtmattbaker> usser: what are you talking about?!
[03:37] <crabgrass> mcphail: alright, trying
[03:37] <SpiderDan> ok
[03:37] <usser> sgtmattbaker: sorry wasnt for u
[03:37] <RAOF> SpiderDan: As to *why* it's doing that, I don't know.  Try asking crdlb, maybe in #ubuntu-effects
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Peoples?
[03:37] <eddmul> Hi guys, can you help me how to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty? Because I always got error message when upgrade from update manager.
[03:37] <karlito> still thank synjet. the most strange is that my IMA
[03:37] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  may i ask why you want it split? to process each part separately?
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul?
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Yes
[03:37] <crabgrass> mcphail: operation not permitted... should i sudo it?
[03:37] <needhelp> eddmul: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:37] <eddmul> Yessuperkirbyartist
[03:37] <mcphail> crabgrass: ok
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, Alt+F2, run "sudo update-manager -d"
[03:37] <GuyFromHell> Can someone tell me what is wrong with my xorg.conf for a MergedFB radeon setup: http://rafb.net/p/M05Xkl22.html
[03:37] <preaction> cables: http://www.la-samhna.de/library/PGPSignatures.html <- look for "verifying the owner of a pgp key", it's called "Certifying" i guess
[03:38] <usser> SpiderDan: it says in xorg.log that hsync out of range something something
[03:38] <crabgrass> mcphail: i'll take that as a yes
[03:38] <openminddj> Flannel: Thanks! This worked wonders! Do you find it odd that my system is "up to date?"  I probably havent downloaded an update in about a week because of the messed up sources.list file i had
[03:38] <superkirbyartist> Now if anyone helps me play a DVD it could be nice.
[03:38] <cables> preaction, ok
[03:38] <RAOF> usser: That's for a bunch of other, non 1280x1024 resolutions.
[03:38] <SpiderDan> RAOF: thanks.  I was using fglrx driver in edgy and I was able to get 1280x1024, maybe the open source driver can't handle it
[03:38] <kiltedbrandon> bobsrto: the source and destination drives are both 160 GB.  Since the source was a fragmented FAT32, I dont know that the files are not all over the place
[03:38] <bobstro> crabgrass:  i'm going to monitor this in case it bites me again. good luck sir!
[03:38] <karlito> still thank synjet. the most strange is that my IMAC can connect to the client, where my server cannot, so it is not a hardware problem... I will a little more research
[03:38] <usser> RAOF: i think for 1280x1024 too
[03:38] <synjet> superkirbyartist: libdvdcss is in multimedia packages (restr)
[03:39] <GuyFromHell> It's the weirdest thing right now, half of a monitor is on the other monitor and then it extends for the other half of the monitor. I'd have difficulty believing this had i not done it...
[03:39] <kiltedbrandon> hence I'd like to split into 2 80G files for a slight bit of optimization
[03:39] <neonimr> i seem to have the forcedeth module but it doesnt load
[03:39] <superkirbyartist> Synjet: Open source?
[03:39] <synjet> karlito: I know, I had the "exact" prob..
[03:39] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  you may be about to learn some job skills. there are definitely forensics tools for finding jpg images on drives!
[03:39] <RAOF> usser: You'll notice it also says that for "1024x768", which is what he's using :)
[03:39] <synjet>  !multimedia > superkirbyartist
[03:39] <eddmul> Superkirbyartist, have try VLC Media Player?
[03:39] <crabgrass> mcphail: chmod u+x /home/dissonance did nothing, it's still all ????'s
[03:39] <skrubbles> is there a way to get Ubuntu allow me to have 1920x1200 as my resolution?  I'm only able to choose 1280x1024... I have an ati radeon 9000 in this old thing
[03:39] <usser> RAOF: oh yea
[03:40] <bobstro> skrubbles:  it should be doable, yes.
[03:40] <RAOF> !resolution > skrubbles
[03:40] <sgtmattbaker> I looked at /etc/hostname and it says bill.. but ssh says that isn't a valid service.. ?
[03:40] <mcphail> crabgrass: ok, try "sudo chmod 770 /home/dissonance", then log out and log back in again as dissonance
[03:40] <openminddj> Flannel: Thanks for the help! Much Appreciation
[03:40] <crabgrass> mcphail: alright
[03:40] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, I couldn't tell you now.  I am juicing Becky St. James.
[03:40] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, I had to type all song names :(
[03:40] <SpiderDan> the terminal command to restart samba is just "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart", correct?
[03:40] <superkirbyartist> Why can't Ubuntu detect them automatically?
[03:41] <eddmul> Ok guys, I'll try to do it, thank you needhelp and superkirbyartist
[03:41] <skrubbles> awesome how do I go about getting that resolution?
[03:41] <superkirbyartist> No problem eddmul
[03:41] <Mutal1ty> <-- still needs some help if anyone is available plz
[03:41] <skrubbles> just saw your messege RAOF
[03:41] <skrubbles> !resolution
[03:41] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:41] <neonimr> how can i burn an iso in ubuntu
[03:41] <kiltedbrandon> bobstro:  this "foremost" program looks promising.  I've been looking around for a while and this seems to have been written for the airforce compsec department
[03:42] <synjet> neonimr: gnome-baker
[03:42] <mcphail> neonimr: right-click on it
[03:42] <sgtmattbaker> my hostname is bill and my router identifies this PC as bill but when I try to ssh it says that isn't a valid service..
[03:42] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  should be fish in a barrel for those tools.
[03:42] <bulmer> sgtmattbaker: ssh from where to where/
[03:42] <bulmer> ?
[03:42] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  it's an interesting area. not my thing, but some good toys.
[03:42] <crabgrass> bobstro, mcphail: YES YES YES, it worked,  thank you both so much, i was scared shitless for a while there
[03:42] <RAOF> sgtmattbaker: How are you resolving "bill" to an IP address?
[03:42] <Mutal1ty> obotu: I cannot even get it to boot normally
[03:42] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: that is because you need to have it in /etc/hosts
[03:42] <mcphail> crabgrass: well done
[03:42] <ohadz> anyone have experience installing on ubuntu 7.04?
[03:42] <Mutal1ty> only console
[03:43] <Mutal1ty> is there a way to try a normal boot and do an error log?
[03:43] <crabgrass> bobstro, mcphail: erm... any reccomendations on an automatic backup program, or is it better to do by hand?
[03:43] <RAOF> sgtmattbaker: Because that's what SSH is after.  If you're using 7.04, you should be able to "ssh bill.local", which will use avahi to resolve
[03:43] <kiltedbrandon> it should be yes.  I just need to make a dd image and I'm having trouble parsing the docs,  The program simply refuses to read from a block device
[03:43] <Mutal1ty> so that I might pinpoint the problem
[03:43] <zero_> hi, im totaly newbie on ubuntu, ive tried to work with bittorrent and it's supposed to be installed but i just can't find it
[03:43] <synjet> zero_, sudo apt-get install bittornado
[03:43] <bulmer> RAOF whats this avahi? totally new to me..
[03:43] <mcphail> crabgrass: a simple rsync script and a cron job would do the trick
[03:44] <RAOF> bulmer: Also known as "zeroconf" or "bonjour".  Basically, no-configuration network stuff.
[03:44] <synjet> zero_, bittorrent should be in apps-->internet
[03:44] <mcphail> crabgrass: but don't use sudo with graphical apps in the future!
[03:44] <crabgrass> mcphail: point taken, i won't
[03:44] <kazol> how do I crop an image in gimp?
[03:44] <bulmer> RAOF: okay..thanks
[03:44] <crabgrass> mcphail: thanks again, man!
[03:45] <kazol> How do I crop an image in GIMP by specifying a value?
[03:45] <sgtmattbaker> bill is in my /etc/hosts.. but ssh keeps saying it isn't valid.. I can login doing bill@sabayonlinux-28 though... also my router also sees it as bill
[03:45] <halpern> How do I get MMS: streams to not open with Totem by default?
[03:45] <synjet> kazol: gimp gives you coords.. that might help
[03:45] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: have you tried "photorec" to recover the jpegs?
[03:46] <ztomic> kazol, #gimp
[03:46] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail:  no, I have not heard of it
[03:46] <zero_> synjet: yeah i should be there, but is not there...
[03:46] <zero_> synjet: it **
[03:46] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: it is a nice tool. Very simple.
[03:46] <luca89> hello
[03:47] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail: I assume it doesnt need the filesystem to work, ie, it can read off a block device?
[03:47] <synjet> zero: try #gimp for detailed help
[03:47] <bobstro> mcphail:  will photorec work on a damaged fat32 dpartitoin?
[03:47] <superkirbyartist> Here goes nothing!
[03:47] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: bobstro: yes, it will work fine
[03:47] <eddmul> superkirbyartist have you install VLC media player yet?
[03:48] <bobstro> mcphail:  good to know. by coincidence, i installed testdisk package about 10 minutes ago!
[03:48] <SpiderDan> one more samba related question... I have a fat32 partition (hda5) that I would like to share, but it belongs to the group "plugdev".  I have an ntfs partition on another drive that works as a share just fine, but it belongs to group "root"
[03:48] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul: Somehow, works in totem (although VLC is excellent too).
[03:48] <zero_> synjet: it didnt show anything
[03:48] <mcphail> bobstro: :)
[03:48] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail:  I will try that now.  thank you
[03:48] <SpiderDan> can I just symlink hda5 to something like "fat32", change ownership, and edit smb.conf accordingly?
[03:48] <synjet> zero: type here: /join #gimp
[03:49] <SpiderDan> I thought about trying to change owner on /media/hda5 directly but I'm scared it might break something
[03:49] <superkirbyartist> How do I remove the proprietary crud?
[03:49] <cyanics> question for the group: I just picked up a Dell Poweredge 840 with a PERC 5/i. 4x 250GB drives. This is for a domain-esq environment. Should i do RAID-5 or RAID10?
[03:49] <Hegemon> my comp frezzes up when it goes to the keyboard lock (or whatever it is)
[03:49] <brianw> Raid 10 I say
[03:50] <cyanics> raid 5= 750GB available, raid 10 = 500GB available.
[03:50] <brianw> Unless you need 750GB as opposed to 500
[03:50] <zero_> what does gimp stands for?
[03:50] <skrubbles> I'm trying to get 1920x1200 resolution on my ati card... when I type sudo aticonfig in my terminal it says command not found
[03:50] <skrubbles> any workarounds?
[03:50] <brianw> gnome image manipulation program
[03:50] <NickGarvey> zero_: gnu image manipulation program
[03:50] <Pelo> zero_,  gnu image manipulation program
[03:50] <brianw> er yeah, gnu
[03:50] <Pelo> ...
[03:50] <synjet> !gimp>zero_
[03:50] <brianw> heh
[03:50] <eddmul> superkirbyartist can we chat in private?
[03:50] <cyanics> anyone have any experience growing a raid-5?
[03:51] <brianw> cyanics: md raid?
[03:51] <zero_> ok thx..
[03:51] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, sent you a PM.
[03:51] <brianw> zero_: clearly stated on the site for gimp :)
[03:51] <cyanics> brianw, megaraid.
[03:51] <cyanics> brianw, if that is your question.
[03:52] <brianw> cyanics: lsi, yeah I did it  afew times
[03:52] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail:  it's grinding away.  cool
[03:52] <bobstro> skrubbles:  you might try making a backup of xorg.conf, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and specifying those modes.
[03:52] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, wake up ;)
[03:52] <zero_> synjet: there is no ppl there, what im supposed to do there?
[03:52] <guerrillawon> Does anyone know of a good cross platfrom, windows / linux video conferencing software?
[03:52] <cyanics> brianw, : size isn't a matter for the client. moving from 20gb total environment to 500+gb total environment. just can't decide which raid level to do it at.
[03:52] <skrubbles> bobstro, thanks, I'll give it a shot
[03:53] <bobstro> skrubbles:  just make that backup first!
[03:53] <guerrillawon> I am using amsn, which is not so good, and can't get mercury to install properly. :/
[03:53] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: it is a superb piece of software. Quite surprising what it picks up at times!
[03:53] <bobstro> skrubbles: you'll need a re-start of x. do it at a shell (non gui) session.
[03:53] <superkirbyartist> Cheers.
[03:53] <synjet> guerrilawon: kopete is good
[03:53] <brianw> cyanics: raid 10 will perform better and could potentially survive two disk failures
[03:53] <DanielX> Good evening, everyone
[03:53] <skrubbles> bobstro, I'm new to linux and ubuntu how do I make that backup?
[03:53] <brianw> skrubbles: cp
[03:54] <cyanics> brianw, so you say RAID10? cause i just started initializing the array ;-)
[03:54] <homlove> Entrez le texte ici...hello
[03:54] <synjet> zero_, I could walk you through the gimp thingie in PM, but I aint registered.. you could return to #gimp later
[03:54] <homlove><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:54] <bobstro> skrubbles:  you might want to find a hand-hold tutorial somewhere if this is new to you. just cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.save or some such thing. it's in /etc/X11
[03:54] <brianw> cyanics: I use raid 10 on my 4 X 320GB file server
[03:54] <cenuij> http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/RAID5_versus_RAID10.txt
[03:54] <guerrillawon> Thanks synjet I'll check it out.
[03:54] <cyanics> brianw, just wish there was a way to grow raid10.
[03:54] <homlove> hello
[03:55] <zero_> synjet: ok... but i don't get it, what about #gimp?
[03:55] <synjet> guerrilawon: but kopete only runs on linux.. but I got yahoo webcam to work
[03:55] <cyanics> brianw, but i guess if you do it slowly by replacing each disk, eventually you can reincorporate the extra space.
[03:55] <skrubbles> bobstro, ok I think I'll find a tutorial and try this out... thanks :)
[03:55] <DanielX> The update manager is telling me "failed to fetch" the new update manager from ca.archive.ubuntu.. how do i add repositories?
[03:55] <guerrillawon> Synjet here's a noob question, can I run KDE applications in gnome?>
[03:55] <synjet> guerrilawon: I am doing so.. yes
[03:55] <brianw> cyanics: I am never ocncerned w/ growing myself. But that is just me
[03:55] <guerrillawon> Ok thank you.
[03:55] <XServer> if u install them you can gerilla
[03:55] <skrubbles> doesn't matter much if I mess up... I'll just reinstall
[03:55] <Minstrel> any chance someone has a zoltrix fm/tv card installed and working?
[03:55] <synjet> guerrilawon: no prob
[03:56] <bobstro> skrubbles:  you rarely need to do that!
[03:56] <guerrillawon> Ahh I see, I thought maybe the two interfaces would have problems since programs seem to be specifically geared towards one of the other.
[03:56] <guerrillawon> Also do you guys recommend installing beryl?
[03:56] <zero_> how can i run bittorrent from shell?
[03:56] <guerrillawon> ahem guys/girls
[03:56] <brianw> guerrillawon: I would rather stick to gtk+ or qt apps, but you can mix if you wish.
[03:57] <Flannel> zero_: btdownloadcurses
[03:57] <SpiderDan> hmmm.  I tried using chown on /media/hda5 and it says operation not permitted
[03:57] <cyanics> brianw, i have a 4tb file server at a colo which i needed an additional 4 tb. the first configuration was with raid10. i ended up just having to do a raid-10 of the raid-10 on the array to make a growth.
[03:57] <brianw> imo beryl is a horrible window manager...
[03:57] <SpiderDan> to recap, I can't access a samba share of a fat32 partition
[03:57] <SpiderDan> but I can access an ntfs partition
[03:57] <guerrillawon> ok, I will not bother then. I don't need it it's just been so highly praised I thought I might be missing out.
[03:57] <cyanics> brianw, it was a pain in the ass. should have done a raid-5 first time round.
[03:57] <SpiderDan> the only difference appears to be that the fat32 partition belongs to group "plugdev"
[03:57] <eddmul> guys thank you for helping me, I've found the source how to upgrade it
[03:57] <SpiderDan> while the ntfs belongs to group "root"
[03:58] <brianw> cyanics: w/ that many disk, raid 6 would be much more appropriate
[03:58] <skrubbles> bobstro, I'm just saying even if I manage to mess something up (given I'm a newb with this wouldn't suprise me) it wouldn't destroy my life because this is just an old experiment computer with nothing on it
[03:58] <cyanics> have never used 6.
[03:58] <zero_> Flannel: it doesnt has graphic interface?
[03:58] <skrubbles> I'd like to avoid it though, lol
[03:58] <phy2> guerrillawon: I would say, install beryl, play with it.... if you don't like it, log out/ log in, and you are back to normal (it has to be started again at each login if you want to use it)
[03:58] <cyanics> isn't that RAID5, with striped parity?
[03:58] <homlove><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:58] <brianw> cyanics: keeps 2 parity copies
[03:58] <bobstro> skrubbles:  true, but make a point of resisting the "microsoft fix" of reformat and reinstall!
[03:58] <Flannel> zero_: what?  It has a terminal interface, because you asked for it in a terminal.
[03:59] <synjet> homlove? spamming?
[03:59] <guerrillawon> phy2 might do so in the future, right now I'm focused on getting mercury running.
[03:59] <cyanics> brianw, sorry. didn't direct that.... isn't that just raid 5 with striped parity?
[03:59] <phy2> mercury mail?
[03:59] <guerrillawon> And I can't for some reason, it's having problems with the java virtual machine.
[03:59] <guerrillawon> The messenger.
[03:59] <zero_> Flannel: actually i'd like to run a graphic interface, but i dont know how, it doesn't appers on applications>internet
[03:59] <homlove> ooooooooooooo
[03:59] <guerrillawon> mercury.to
[03:59] <Flannel> zero_: for all your options, type "bt" and then hit tab twice.
[03:59] <cyanics> brianw, i was actually interested in raid 50, but not too many vendors support it in hardware.
[03:59] <guerrillawon> err www.mercury.to
[04:00] <Flannel> zero_: oh, just donload the torrent and then double click it.  It'll automatically do it's thing
[04:00] <rob_65> Can anyone recommend me an application to rip DVD's to my hard disk and encode them as MP4?
[04:00] <cyanics> brianw, oh well. raid 10 for this client.
[04:00] <rob_65> .avi ?
[04:00] <brianw> cyanics: :)
[04:00] <homlove> hello
[04:00] <crdlb> rob_65: mencoder :)
[04:00] <brianw> cyanics: I prefer linux md raid over hw for the most part. Unless it is using an areca card. :)
[04:00] <cyanics> it is amazing (dude i am old) how easy it is to make a terabyte now-a days.
[04:00] <guerrillawon> I am getting errors trying to load shared librarys.
[04:00] <kaha> Does anyone else have a problem with Docker locking up their Openbox3 display when called?
[04:00] <cyanics> brianw, i like hardware.
[04:00] <rob_65> mencoder? wicked, i'll give it a try :
[04:00] <zero_> Flannel: ohh, ok i'll try it now
[04:00] <rob_65> :)
[04:01] <brianw> cyanics: heh I know. My first hard disk I bought retail was 512MB
[04:01] <cyanics> brianw, not as easy to work with, but much more reliable.
[04:01] <brianw> cyanics: not ime
[04:01] <Wbee> testing
[04:01] <cyanics> brianw, to each, his own.
[04:01] <brianw> cyanics: I should say w/ mediacore hw raid, which is about 85%
[04:01] <zero_> Flannel: thx man ^_^!
[04:02] <crdlb> rob_65: that is *the* encoding app for linux, but you'll probably want a frontend to it
[04:02] <_Codeman_> I'm trying to rip a cd to mp3 format but kaffeine won't let me... any suggestions?
[04:02] <brianw> cyanics: I am not referring to on board fake raid either.
[04:02] <cyanics> brianw, yeah, i understand that. i used to work as a hardware-lab engineer. could definately see the difference between an LSI controller failure rate, and a megaraid failure rate.
[04:02] <synjet> rob-65: dvd-rip, check ubuntuguide.org
[04:02] <cyanics> brianw, fakeRAID isn't even worth mentioning.
[04:02] <brianw> cyanics: lsi makes megaraid
[04:02] <rob_65> synjet: Okay, thanks :)
[04:03] <cyanics> brianw, went through way to many fake controllers claiming to be "hardware" raid
[04:03] <homlove> Entrez le texte<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:03] <eddmul> guys, I've a problem when upgrading Edgy to ?Feisty, here are the errors : The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 445M of disk space on /usr. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. Anyone can tell me why?
[04:03] <homlove> hkjlmmlkhv
[04:03] <cyanics> brianw, didn't used to. LSI used to use adaptec chipsets, back when adaptec made raid controllers.
[04:03] <Flannel> eddmul: because you don't have enough space to download the packages to upgrade

[04:03] <brianw> cyanics: I have a 6 port sata lsi megaraid controller on my desk right next to me
[04:03] <cyanics> brianw, considering how old i am. i remember when megaraid was using AMD chipsets for their controllers.

[04:04] <SpiderDan> anyone have any idea why I'm unable to access a samba share of a fat32 partition?  seems like it's related to group permissions
[04:04] <brianw> cyanics: aye
[04:04] <kupesoft>  What's a good small computer like the mini-mac or something for a headless Ubuntu Linux home server (with a least a pci slot to be a wireless ap)

[04:04] <brianw> heh
[04:04] <kupesoft> I'm having trouble navigating through the sea of distributors!

[04:05] <brianw> kupesoft: I remember reading about something the same footprint of that mac mini.. but I do not recall
[04:05] <SpiderDan> kupesoft: mine has 4X AGP, 1 PCI, athlon xp 2800
[04:06] <SpiderDan> not a screamer, but decent for a test box
[04:06] <brianw> kupesoft: you could use the mac mini as well :)

[04:06] <brianw> or does ubuntu not have a ppc port?
[04:06] <Pici> !ppc
[04:06] <ubotu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ

[04:11] <bootsmorris> i need some help with my media buttons on my laptop
[04:11] <Punkunity> i want to turn my yahoo mail contacts intio a csv file so i can import them into gmail, and or evolution
[04:11] <mcphail> Punkunity: OpenOffice.org is the one which springs to mind
[04:12] <phy2> Punkunity CSV = a text file with values separated by commas... so, a text editor can do it
[04:12] <brianw> kupesoft: http://www.mini-box.com/VIA-EPIA-EX10000EG?sc=8&category=99
[04:12] <kaha> Does anyone else have a problem with Docker locking up Openbox3 when called?
[04:12] <Punkunity> i was about to try that, thought id ask first thanks mcphail and phy2 ok i didnt know about the text editor
[04:12] <brianw> Punkunity: so use yahoo mail to export
[04:12] <eddmul> Flannel, I've 883.2 Mb free space... from 3.4 Gb,
[04:13] <Flannel> eddmul: In /usr?
[04:13] <phy2> I didn't see your cconversion needs... but that is what a CSV is
[04:13] <synjet> punkunity: yes, just export the address-book to csv which gets imported to gmail
[04:13] <jrib> Punkunity: Comma Separated Values  <-- that was a bit of an epiphany for me when I relaized it
[04:14] <synjet> jrib: epiphany the browser? :)
[04:14] <Punkunity> synjet, whats that?? how do i export the address book to csv?
[04:14] <eddmul> from root directory /
[04:14] <Punkunity> lol jrib
[04:14] <Flannel> eddmul: Do you have /usr mounted somewhere else? or is /usr on that same partition?  How about others?
[04:14] <synjet> punkunity: yahoo-mail --> addresses top right side import/export link
[04:15] <bootsmorris> can i get some help with my media buttons on my latop
[04:15] <dougsko> is there a way to use aptitude to install a package locally?

[04:15] <Cerda> i can get an ip but i have about 70% packet loss in my network, i think full duplex isnt working good, can anyone help me????
[04:15] <gu2> Hi... a question.. I am not being able to record sounds... It seems that somehow ubuntu recognizes 2 audio drivers.. ALSA and OSS, I need the apps to use ALSA, but they are hooked to OSS,  how could I change that???
[04:16] <dougsko> Flannel: so dpkg has a --prefix option or something? (im cecking out the man page now)
[04:16] <eddmul> flannel, can you help me how to free my /usr ?
[04:16] <Punkunity> it is giving me only import options uder that menu nothing for export....
[04:16] <Punkunity> nm im nidiot
[04:16] <Punkunity> and tired
[04:16] <synjet> gu2--> system-->prefs-->sound
[04:17] <Flannel> dougsko: --prefix?  what?  dpkg -i [deb]
[04:17] <Workaphobia> Bah. I just tried an install on a friend's laptop, and the GUI slider that controls how much space to allocate to the existing NTFS drive and how much to give to ubuntu was labelled in reverse. He now has a 15 gig ntfs partition instead of a 65 gig one.
[04:17] <gu2> THANKS synjet!!
[04:17] <vanberge> does anyone on right now use dvd::rip ?  can't get it to do any kind of encoding other than xvid.   L-/
[04:17] <leagris> Cerda, does ifconfig eth0 show some significant errors, overruns, frame errors?
[04:17] <synjet> punkunity: scroll the page down :) the export tab is there
[04:17] <Workaphobia> So we're trying to fix it by resizing with gparted, but every time we attempt to commit the changes, it automounts the partition to stop us
[04:17] <Flannel> eddmul: Do you have /usr on it's own partition?
[04:17] <Workaphobia> anyone know how to kill the automounter?
[04:17] <eddmul> no flannel, it's in root
[04:18] <Punkunity> lol yeah i already said i was an idiot but thanks lol
[04:18] <cheeseboy> how do i make file excuteable?
[04:18] <eddmul> is it possible to move it somewhere else?
[04:18] <eddmul> flnnel?
[04:18] <dougsko> cheeseboy: chmod +x <file>
[04:18] <Flannel> eddmul: well, I suppose it's feasible that you need more room than you currently have.  How much extra stuff (from a stock ubuntu install) do you have?
[04:18] <synjet> cheeseboy chmod a+x
[04:18] <gbutler69> I would like to work towards becoming an Ubuntu contributor and MOTU. Is there any assistance available for this process?

[04:19] <phy2> whatza MOTU ?

[04:19] <FuzzplugJones> hello, i'm trying feisty for the first time on my notebook, i use linux on the server side a lot but the desktop has been a difficult transition every time i try but it's looking good
[04:20] <Cerda> hi i have about 70% packet loss in network, maybe full duplex isnt working, anyone knows how can i enable it??
[04:20] <dougsko> Flannel: i meant a local install, as opposed to a system wide one. can you install a package without root?
[04:20] <Amchi> anyone know how to bridge DSL modem and wireless card to make Ubuntu a wireless AP ?
[04:20] <leagris> Cerda, does ifconfig eth0 show some significant errors, overruns, frame errors?
[04:20] <dness> does anyone know how to get Doom 3 working in ubuntu
[04:20] <Cerda> leagris no, its fine
[04:21] <CL> exit
[04:21] <eddmul> I've used 3.4 Gb for Ubuntu installation and 1 Gb for swap, because I'm running in dual OS, Win and Ubuntu, that's it flannel. And I've 1 partition but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it.
[04:21] <leagris> Cerda, so your packet loss is ot hardware related
[04:21] <bootsmorris> i need help with my media buttons, such as my pause play  and fast foreward.  as well as internet button
[04:21] <Workaphobia> Does anyone know how to disable the automounter on the livecd so I can resize the partition?
[04:21] <Cerda> leagris but it works fine in windows
[04:21] <leagris> Cerda, software related problem
[04:22] <leagris> Cerda, did you check the MTU betwen both units ?
[04:22] <gu2> arrrhhhhhhh doesnt work!
[04:22] <Cerda> leagris no, dont know what that means
[04:22] <cheeseboy> anyone use mirc in wine on linux?
[04:22] <davor> what I need to read/write a mac os journal partition?
[04:23] <gu2> sound recorder doesnt offer Microphone as Record source input.... why would that be???
[04:23] <bootsmorris> can neone help me with my media buttons on my toshiba laptop?
[04:24] <synjet> bootmorris: I doubt if the media keys work for toshiba (satellite).. though the fn keys (brightness, vol etc) work pretty fine
[04:24] <Flannel> dougsko: try --instdir (close to the end of the man page)
[04:25] <LordTureis> workaphobia: I don't know how to disable the automounter, per se.  But, you can unmount it by right-clicking  -> unmount volume.  Is that enough, or do you actually need to keep ubuntu from automounting?
[04:25] <dougsko> Flannel: hehe i was just about to say i found it...thanks
[04:25] <bootsmorris> i have figured this out
[04:25] <leagris> Cerda, Max Transmit Unit. Define maximum packet length allowed on a link. Usually it is 1500bytes on an ethernet link. Wan links over ppp tend to limit this to 1452 1492 and while both system should agree on length or provide proper fragmentation. Sometimes it can't due to firewalling settings or equipment limitations.
[04:25] <Flannel> dougsko: does that work?  awesome
[04:25] <bootsmorris> thnx

[04:26] <BWolf1985> Can anyone offer Wireless Network help?
[04:26] <LordTureis> workaphobia: if the volume is removable, you can disable the automounter through System > Preferences > Removable Drives & Media   ... but you seem to have found it perhaps?
[04:26] <|Zippo|> hello, somebody know where can I get PYXF86CONFIG to Ubuntu 7.04
[04:26] <eddmul> Flannel, where r you?
[04:27] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: That's what I found, but it's not removable, it's a scsi disk
[04:27] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: But I think it partially completed by chance because the automounter was too slow the last time around
[04:27] <Workaphobia> anyway I tried it again even though it seems to have worked last time, and it didn't pop up
[04:28] <Workaphobia> so for some reason the livecd gnome considers the internal scsi disk to be removable
[04:28] <Workaphobia> that's annoying...

[04:31] <Induane_> Quick question, I have managed to break a feisty system beyond repair (afaik) and would like to do a reinstall keeping the home directory intact so as not to lose any settings.  It was already a feisty install before.  I tried the rescue broken cd option on the installer but it can't even execute a shell on the partition.  I can execute a shell from the cd though and mount the disk and the home directory appears to be fine.  A fsck also sho
[04:31] <Induane_> So how can I do a reinstall without formatting? Or rather, how can I reinstall leaving only the home directory intact?
[04:31] <AndrewB> hmm
[04:32] <LordTureis> Workaphobia: you might consider installing gparted through synaptic (should still "install" to the livecd).  It is a much more powerful partition editor than the built-in one on the live cd
[04:32] <Punkunity> anyone know evolution mail client?
[04:32] <chump> i sugges bootin the live cd backup your home then reinstall
[04:32] <synjet> andrewb: cron, gcrontab
[04:32] <gu2> will try it now..
[04:32] <Punkunity> i am trying to put a second email accoutn as well as a third eventually onto m,y evolution.....i want to be able to read 3 seperate email accounts with the one client
[04:33] <LordTureis> Induane: is your /home on a separate partition?  That would make it a lot easier
[04:33] <Induane_> chump possible, but the issue is the wired net is broken, and the wireless only works with ndiswrapper - I don't have a way to actually get the home dir off.  The drive in the laptop is not a burner either, nor do I have an external hd or cd to do it to.
[04:33] <danielm> Question: is the daily build iso actually daily? the timestamp for when it was last modified is the day of the feisty release
[04:33] <Induane_> LordTureis no it was a default install.  I should have done it on a seperate partition - thas how I did my desktop
[04:33] <gu2> it doesnt do anything!!!
[04:33] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: I believe gparted is already installed and we're using it - we went to system->admin tools, not the install icon on the default desktop
[04:33] <leagris> Upgrading edgy to festy with update-manager wrecked menu.list from grub. I had to drive my friend on the phone, mounting the partition with fromme the live CD, editing and rebuilding a workable menu.lst from scratch or from remanents of undestroyed parts. He had dualboot.How and what could have caused all this wrecks?
[04:34] <Punkunity> nm i got it
[04:34] <|Zippo|> hello, somebody know where can I get PYXF86CONFIG to Ubuntu 7.04
[04:34] <LordTureis> k, nvm
[04:34] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: Whoops, now that the grub conf file's wiped, can't boot windows.. Have to look up the command for that
[04:34] <bimberi> danielm: yes, but they haven't started doing daily builds for gutsy yet.  Not sure when that will start though
[04:34] <synjet> gu2: after hitting the test, speak into it.. do you hear anything? (btw hope you ticked the mute option for mic in volume-manager)
[04:34] <Induane_> Or maybe someone can suggest a way to get around the boot issue.  It simply says running /scripts/init-bottom   Done.    And nothing after that.  If I press special keys on the keyboard it tells me to map them... thats about it.
[04:34] <gu2> I can hear sounds when I knock the mic
[04:34] <danielm> btw, anyone have what appears to be the jmicron issue where you can't even boot the feisty install cd?
[04:34] <gu2> yes of course I did... yes.. I hear... online
[04:34] <gu2> I just can not record.. or make any app to record sound.. :(

[04:50] <danielm> bimberi, i just gave an additional boot option (irqpoll) that seems to have worked! let me see how that fares
[04:51] <rubberducky> k
[04:51] <gu2> synjet.. amazing program!!!  It records!!!
[04:51] <gbutler69> Are you using a domain controller under windows, or a simple login?
[04:51] <phy2> ohadz -- right click, stretch icon
[04:51] <gu2> unffortunatly with a very low volume..
[04:51] <nalpha> guys how to setup sources.list or apt that can switch automatically if one of the repisotory is failed or down? thanx.
[04:51] <gu2> but works!
[04:51] <rubberducky> What do you mean gbutler69 ?
 right mouse on it - stretch icon ...
[04:51] <rubberducky> I have a work group setup that my windows computers are in
[04:51] <LordTureis> ohadz: right-click the icons and stretch icons.  Unfortunatly, I think you can't change them all at once on the desktop, at least right now.
[04:51] <rubberducky> Named Games95
[04:52] <craigbass1976> rubberducky, does the windows box have a firewall running?
[04:52] <gbutler69> rubberducky: let me put it another way. What is your network configuration? Simple linux box connecting to windows box on standalone network?
[04:52] <gbutler69> (not counting the internet).
[04:52] <rubberducky> Um
[04:52] <ohadz> yeah. that sucks
[04:52] <Blond1> absolute newbie.  when steps in a guide are in that box, where do  i type that information
[04:52] <rubberducky> We have 2 windows computers
[04:52] <rubberducky> and 1 linux
[04:52] <rubberducky> connected using a firewall
[04:52] <gbutler69> OK.
[04:52] <RAOF> nalpha: Just add more than one "deb" line for each section, like "deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main" and "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main"
[04:52] <_Codeman_> do I need xscreensaver?
[04:52] <gbutler69> Both XP on the Windows boxes?
[04:52] <_Codeman_> cuz it's buggy as hell
[04:52] <rubberducky> Yeah
[04:53] <nalpha> RAOF: ow.. just that?
[04:53] <rubberducky> The firewall is really just a router
[04:53] <gbutler69> OK. What kind of firewall? Do you mean a router with built in FW?
[04:53] <vanberge> anybody ever use Pitivi  ?
[04:53] <nalpha> RAOF: okey.. thanx alot.
[04:53] <rubberducky> Yes
[04:53] <rubberducky> Linksys
[04:53] <rubberducky> Wireless router...but the two computers im networking are wired to it
[04:54] <gaten> Blond1:  goto Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[04:54] <bimberi> danielm: cool, I've been looking at that bug report.  The kernel on the Feisty Desktop CD should include the fix mentioned at Comment 110.  Perhaps it's another issue - Ben Collins felt that many of the comments to that bug could be caused by other problems.
[04:55] <ward_> how can i clear port 03F8 ?
[04:55] <non|inear> can anyone help me with boot problems??
[04:55] <bimberi> s/comments to/issues described in comments to/
[04:55] <Blond1> gaten: ok thanks sorry i know that must be an awful question
[04:55] <RAOF> ward_: That's an awesome error message/howto you're following.  What do you want to *do* :)
[04:55] <jbj^> where can I download Ubuntu "Gutsy Gibbon"
[04:55] <RAOF> jbj^: You can't.
[04:55] <LordTureis> non|inear: that depends.  can you be more specific
[04:55] <LordTureis> ?
[04:55] <ward_> RAOF, i'm trying to get LIRC to work
[04:55] <gaten> ward_:  03f8? that would be 1016
[04:56] <ward_> RAOF, 03F8 should be serial port
[04:56] <gaten> Blond1:  its ok, we all start somewhere
[04:56] <gbutler69> rubberducky: Have you tried "Places - Network" from the panel main menu?
[04:56] <kandrews> Hi, is there a way to configure a mirror during an install? thanks!
[04:56] <RAOF> jbj^: Not yet.  You can replace "feisty" with "gutsy" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, but don't do that on any system that you want to *work*.
[04:56] <gbutler69> Does your "Windows Network" appear?
[04:56] <gbutler69> rubberducky: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[04:56] <RAOF> ward_: Ah.  Well, I'
[04:56] <ward_> gaten, 03F8 should be serial port
[04:56] <ward_> RAOF, sorry wrong nickname
[04:57] <Davo_Dinkum> I lost my root password :( Any ideas how to reset it? Without booting off a CD?
[04:57] <gaten> ward_:  my bad, felt like doing some hex->dec conversions
[04:57] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Not really.
[04:57] <mneptok> Davo_Dinkum: Ubuntu has no root password
[04:57] <Flannel> Davo_Dinkum: Did you set a root password?
[04:57] <ward_> gaten, its expressed in hex where i see it
[04:57] <RAOF> ward_: I've never tried to get LIRC to work, so I don't think I can help you.  However, posting what you're trying to do, what you've done, and the exact error you get is pretty much necesary to get any help :)
[04:57] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: Try, "sudo passwd"
[04:57] <crdlb> Davo_Dinkum: you should be able to use your user password for sudo'ing
[04:57] <Davo_Dinkum> What's the password it keeps asking me for when I try to run software update?
[04:58] <mneptok> your user password
[04:58] <Blond1> gaten: ok, so the first thing i wanna do is get vid drivers right? Is that done by typing:  "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common sudo nvidia-xconfig" into the terminal thing?
[04:58] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: Your own password.
[04:58] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: That's going to be your user password.
[04:58] <gaten> Blond1:  what ubuntu version
[04:58] <redcard> Caveat.  Your FIRST user's password.
[04:58] <Blond1> 6.1
[04:58] <mneptok> "6.10" ;)
[04:58] <gaten> Blond1:  ok. and i'm assuming your have a nvidia graphics card
[04:58] <ward_> RAOF, i've been working on it whole night its kindof hard but i'll try to
[04:59] <Blond1> gaten: 6.10 = ) umm it might be ati
[04:59] <telejedi> dumdiedeldum
[04:59] <gaten> Blond1:  thats something you need to find out
[04:59] <marlinth> Hey folks
[04:59] <mneptok> Blond1: lspci
[04:59] <SpiderDan> hi! just wondering how to set VLC as the default media player (when a file is double-clicked in nautilus)
[04:59] <crdlb> lspci|grep VGA
[04:59] <davor> the generic kernel supports HFS partition to write?
[04:59] <LordTureis> blond1: what does System > Admin  > Restricted Drivers Manager  say?
[04:59] <ward_> they've been trying to help me at mythtv-users, last thing they asked was to pastebin the results of a command
[05:00] <ward_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19736
[05:00] <marlinth> My logitech g5 mouse keeps cutting out on me any suggestions?
[05:00] <c01100011> have this problem everytime i do a new install, never remember the solution. My rounded corners are not transparent (they have a dot of white) all other transparency including beryl works
[05:00] <ward_> RAOF, gaten, sorry forgot nicknames
[05:00] <redcard> marlinth: Battery, at a guess..
[05:00] <_Codeman_> All the rippers I try keep telling me there's no disk but Kaffeine sees the disk so that's not a problem
[05:00] <marlinth> it's a wired mouse
[05:00] <rubberducky> or just in windows ?Hmm
[05:00] <redcard> Oh. :P
[05:00] <Davo_Dinkum> The terminal says "<user> is not in the suders file. This incident will be reported."
[05:00] <gaten> SpiderDan:  right click on the file you want to open, goto properties and select "open with". then add your program
[05:00] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Then you need to be the first user on the account
[05:00] <marlinth> I'll be doing something and then all of a sudden it'll stop working
[05:00] <konam> i'm having problems with the amsn in the ubuntu repos
[05:01] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Er.. box.  On the box
[05:01] <rubberducky> Can someone help me with my networking problems
[05:01] <ward_> RAOF, gaten, the LIRC_serial module was compiled earlyer
[05:01] <marlinth> hey hitmanwilly
[05:01] <rubberducky> I can connect to my windows xp machines but I can not see any of the files actually shared on those computers
[05:01] <hitmanWilly> hello
[05:01] <redcard> rubberducky: If you can connect to the shares, it might be a permissioning issue
[05:01] <rubberducky> Like I connect to machine "scott" ...it just shows an empty folder
[05:01] <rubberducky> How do I deal with that?
[05:01] <gaten> ward_:  "use 'setserial /dev/ttySX uart none'" that looks like your answer
[05:01] <marlinth> This is Druntar
[05:02] <redcard> rubberducky: Check the windows machines
[05:02] <erikrocha> wao!!!
[05:02] <erikrocha> tanta gente?
[05:02] <marlinth> I changed to Ubuntu and the mouse problem lessened
[05:02] <rubberducky> Check the shared folders preferences
[05:02] <rubberducky> ?
[05:02] <leagris> Davo_Dinkum, you need to add your user to the admin group. The admin group define allowed sudoers
[05:02] <redcard> rubberducky: Make sure that there is read access on them.
[05:02] <erikrocha> con ubuntu!!!
[05:02] <RAOF> ward_: Yeah, what gaten said.  This is why we *read* error messages :)
[05:02] <rubberducky> kk
[05:02] <XServer> jajaja pa que tanto clon?
[05:02] <marlinth> but it's still there
[05:02] <erikrocha> alquien que hable espaol?
[05:02] <Flannel> !es | erikrocha
[05:02] <ubotu> erikrocha: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:02] <ward_> gaten, offcourse i allready tried that before i entered this channe, that's why people don't just assume stuff
[05:02] <Davo_Dinkum> leagris: Do I need root access to do that?
[05:02] <ward_> :-)
[05:02] <erikrocha> perfecto! mi amigo, gracias por el dato! :D
[05:02] <XServer> erikrocha que onda que necesitas
[05:03] <RAOF> ward_: After that, you might want to "sudo rmmod lirc-serial", then "sudo modprobe lirc-serial"
[05:03] <leagris> Davo_Dinkum, yes
[05:03] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Yes, you need to be on the first account to do it.
[05:03] <erikrocha> XServer
[05:03] <erikrocha> puedo chatear por aqu man verdad?
[05:03] <Davo_Dinkum> :(
[05:03] <non|inear> ok, well last night i rebooted, booted into XP, and on the next reboot grub gave me error (i think it was 14 or 1, can't temember atm, would have to boot back into xp).  proir to this was OK.  i think the problem is either 1)I installation of "NTFS configuration tool" (dont think i unmounted before booting) and 2) merger of two NTFS partitions in acronis, which failed.  I had to restore partion table that i saved right before installin
[05:03] <non|inear> g ubunti, and then had to rebuild it to correct for my ext and swap parts.  now when i load grub, i get error 22 - no such partiton.  somehow, super grub disk got me into ubuntu now.  what i want to do from here is 1) correct my partion table for the linux so that will be OK no matter what and 2) format NTFS parts and copy xp partiton images back. any suggestions?
[05:03] <ward_> RAOF, think i did that too but i'll try again just to be sure
[05:03] <erikrocha> o me voy al otro canal? :P
[05:03] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Do you not have access to the account?
[05:03] <konam> erikrocha ve a #ubuntu-es
[05:03] <erikrocha> ok man!
[05:03] <Davo_Dinkum> redcard: I forget the password
[05:03] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Then you need to use a CD to get in.
[05:03] <Pelo> erikrocha,   /join #ubuntu-es
[05:03] <erikrocha> si sera lo correcto! :D
[05:04] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: Only way is to boot off resuce CD.
[05:04] <davor> somebody can help me... the generic kernel supports HFS partition to write?
[05:04] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: or other "Rescue" bootable (e.g. USB FOB)
[05:04] <Davo_Dinkum> FOB?
[05:04] <XServer> si erik
[05:04] <erikrocha> gracias, ni bien entro y me siento a gusto! ... es el software libre ps! gracias! :D soy nuevo en Linux y estoy muy a gusto! :D
[05:04] <XServer> ok
[05:04] <XServer> bien
[05:04] <XServer> algun problema con tu pc?
[05:05] <ward_> RAOF, gaten, output of the setserial command: /dev/ttySX: No such file or directory
[05:05] <Flannel> Davo_Dinkum: did you forget your userpassword?  Or did you set (then forget) a root password?
[05:05] <Toma-> Im not getting any sound devices on a dell d300 laptop.... how can i find out what card it has?
[05:05] <Flannel> gbutler69, redcard, no.  He doesn't, that's what the rcovery console is for.
[05:05] <gaten> Davo_Dinkum:  read about the /etc/shadow file and learn how to reset your password once you boot the cd
[05:05] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: And, I am going to recommend if your computer is in a safe area that only you use , that you use a non-common (meaning, one you don't use in other places) password and you write it down near the computer.  Many would have a problem with that, but the reality is, if you have access to the physical machine, you can compromise it anyway
[05:05] <Flannel> Davo_Dinkum, gaten, gbutler69, redcard, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[05:05] <Blond1> lordtureis: i dont see restricted drivers manager
[05:05] <leagris> Davo_Dinkum, boot on the live CD. Mount your root partition somewhere. Edit the file as sudo (no password required for sudo on the livecd)
[05:05] <gordy_au> hi, why does ping, ssh and other network tools never attempt to resolve an address from my secondary dns server when the first server doesnt have the answer?
[05:05] <Blond1> gaten: its an ati radeon
[05:05] <gaten> Flannel:  ahh my thanks
[05:05] <nicnicnic> anyone know how to install new Nvidia drivers? i need to get out of XWindows
[05:05] <Davo_Dinkum> OK thanks
[05:05] <Flannel> Guys, seriously, he doesn't need *any* additional media
[05:05] <marlinth> how do I edit my xorg.conf file in Ubuntu?
[05:05] <rubberducky> redcard: my windows box already had sharing enabled
[05:05] <RAOF> ward_: Oh, you want to replace the "X" there with a number.
[05:06] <rubberducky> still can't access the files in that folder
[05:06] <redcard> rubberducky: Yes, but check the permissions on the windows box.
[05:06] <gaten> Blond1:  ok, now you need to search the ubuntu forums for an "ATI howto"
[05:06] <redcard> rubberducky: It might have defaulted to some weird permissioning.
 use automatix wit will handle that for you
[05:06] <rubberducky> redcard: how do you do that exactly?
[05:06] <Pelo> nicnicnic, start with the resricted driver applet in meny > system > admin ( or pref I never remember)
[05:06] <Flannel> !automatix | XServer, nicnicnic
[05:06] <ubotu> XServer, nicnicnic: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
 if u have feisty u should have them by now
[05:06] <ward_> RAOF, how do i know wich one?
[05:06] <konam> im having problems with the aMSN in the ubuntu repos.
[05:06] <redcard> rubberducky: Right click on the directory on the windows machine, and check the permissions.  I think they're under the "Security" tab.
[05:06] <RAOF> ward_: I don't know.  Why not try all of them :)
[05:06] <Pelo> konam,  what problem exactly ?
[05:07] <marlinth> how do I get into root on Ubuntu?
[05:07] <gordy_au> hi, why does ping, ssh and other network tools never attempt to resolve an address from my secondary dns server when the first server doesnt have the answer? anyone? Thanks in adv...
[05:07] <gordy_au> marlinth: su
[05:07] <Pelo> !sudo | marlinth
[05:07] <ubotu> marlinth: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:07] <gaten> marlinth:  in the terminal, type 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'. but back it up before you edit it
[05:07] <nicnicnic> ok i believe i do have feisty
[05:07] <Flannel> marlinth: You don't.  The root account is disabled, use sudo instead.
[05:07] <Anguis> Hi, folks1
[05:07] <Anguis> !
[05:07] <gordy_au> sudo passwd will enable it.
[05:07] <redcard> nicnicnic: Type lsb_release -a
[05:08] <redcard> nicnicnic: What's it say?
[05:08] <ward_> RAOF, sudo rrmod lirc output = ERROR: Module lirc_serial does not exist in /proc/modules
[05:08] <leagris> gordy_au, normal RFC defined DNS rules. If first DNS can't answer, ask the second, third...
[05:08] <Flannel> gordy_au: there's no reason to enable it.  Please don't recommend in here that any do.
[05:08] <rubberducky> redcard: everyone on the network has read/write privileges
 enable the nonfree repostiroies
[05:08] <non|inear> does ubuntu save partition table info?
[05:08] <ward_> i rememberd it was 0
[05:08] <RAOF> nicnicnic: Then System->Administration->Restricted Manager
[05:08] <ward_> the number
[05:08] <marlinth> gaten : how do I save it now?
[05:08] <rubberducky> I used it yesterday to backup my files from my window installation redcard
[05:08] <Beyond_The_Grave> Does anybody know what the default sudo password is if you installed ubuntu in safe graphics mode?
[05:08] <redcard> rubberducky: Hmm.
[05:08] <redcard> Are you sure your brother didn't delete it?
[05:08] <gaten> marlinth:  ctrl-x
[05:08] <konam> Pelo in install it with a simple sudo aptitude install amsn and when im type amsn in a terminal the promt says "core dumped" or something alike
[05:08] <rubberducky> Yeah
[05:08] <RAOF> ward_: That's OK.  That was just to remove the module so you could re-load it.  Since it's not loaded... :)
[05:08] <Pelo> non|inear, youcan run gparted from the system admin menu,  but you may hvae to install it
[05:08] <rubberducky> I was just on the computer
[05:08] <rubberducky> the files are there
[05:08] <marlinth> thank you gaten hopefully it will fix my mouse
[05:08] <ward_> RAOF, lol ok
[05:09] <nicnicnic> ra
[05:09] <gordy_au> leagris: ubuntu doesnt try the secondary though
[05:09] <nicnicnic> rad*
[05:09] <rubberducky> redcard: ubuntu sees the computer on the network, just not the files in the folder
[05:09] <nicnicnic> thanks
[05:09] <derek[] > Hi! How do I make the change done by xset +fp /fonts/path and xset fp rehash permanent? Where should I place these commands so that I don't need to run them everytime on booting?
[05:09] <gaten> marlinth:  ok good luck
[05:09] <redcard> rubberducky: Hmm.  Possibly check the user access to that shared folder (on the windows box) and make sure "Everyone" is allowed
[05:09] <non|inear> can gparted try to repair pt info?
[05:09] <Flannel> Beyond_The_Grave: The sudo password is always your user password
[05:09] <ward_> RAOF, output from second command: FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Input/output error
[05:09] <redcard> rubberducky: Otherwise, I'm kinda out of ideas..
[05:09] <Pelo> noneee, not that I know sorry
[05:09] <Beyond_The_Grave> Well, I tried that but it didn't work...
[05:09] <Anguis> I've tried installing AMD64 Feisty a few times on my system - did the md5 check - and cannot get it to move past the first options screen - I can't even load the live cd. Any direction on getting it installed?
[05:10] <rubberducky> Already did that
[05:10] <rubberducky> redcard: everyone is allowed
[05:10] <rubberducky> Could it be something on my ubuntu box?
[05:10] <redcard> Anguis: Hmm..move over to the alternate CD?
[05:10] <rubberducky> www.geocities.com/thelastcaboose
[05:10] <rubberducky> err
[05:10] <rubberducky> wrong link
[05:10] <rubberducky> Error "Unsupported operation" while creating a link to "smb://games95/SCOTT"
[05:10] <redcard> rubberducky: Possibly, but the thing that has me confused is that you can see the folders..
[05:10] <RAOF> ward_: Ooooh, dear.  That doesn't sou8nd like a good prize.
[05:10] <leagris> gordy_au, may be the first DNS answer no such host instead of serverfail
[05:10] <rubberducky> redcard: I can't see the folder
[05:10] <Flannel> Anguis: did you check the validityu of the CD itself? (the menu option on the CD)
[05:10] <rubberducky> redcard: only the computer on the network
[05:10] <redcard> rubberducky: Oh.. thought you said you could..
[05:11] <rubberducky> redcard: it sees the actual computer....but nothing on it
[05:11] <redcard> Hmm.. Try doing by the IP address?
[05:11] <Anguis> Does the alternate cd contain a full version? Will it allow me to test before instaling?
[05:11] <ward_> lol RAOF, any suggestions?
[05:11] <leagris> gordy_au, behaviour says check next DNS on serverfail but not on unknownhost
[05:11] <Flannel> Anguis: yes, and no. (respectively)
[05:11] <strabes> kupesoft: http://excito.com
[05:11] <rubberducky> how do I find the ip address of that computer from here?
[05:11] <rubberducky> Is there a way?
[05:11] <ward_> RAOF, this is how i compiled: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty#head-a16ce36bda606b84aca7755980afb5999ba537b0
[05:11] <gordy_au> leagris: thanks i'll look into that
[05:11] <strabes> If my laptop already has a 1gb stick of 533mhz RAM should I buy a 2gb stick of 667mhz or 533mhz? Or does it even matter?
[05:11] <Beyond_The_Grave> Well, nevermind I guess I should be asking... How do I get WPA-PSK to work on ubuntu? I don't even see it as an option in System>Administration>Networking...
[05:11] <ward_> RAOF, on ubuntu 7.04 offcourse
[05:11] <calc> crimsun: hi :)
[05:11] <Anguis> Yes, I did try to check the validity, but it crashes every time.
[05:12] <Pelo> strabes, stick to the same mhz
[05:12] <redcard> rubberducky: You may be able to "ping" the computer name
[05:12] <strabes> Pelo: is there a specific reason?
[05:12] <gsosure> can anyone help me out with an issue, i have an ati video card and i'm running ubuntu + beryl and when i load the ati drivers beryl won't run.. any ideas?
[05:12] <leagris> gordy_au, some broadband gateways provide internal DNS proxy that are unefficient ad providing accurate answers.
[05:12] <crdlb> gsosure: #ubuntu-effects
[05:12] <RAOF> ward_: Sorry, no idea.
[05:12] <Pelo> strabes,  that's what I was told a long time ago
[05:12] <strabes> gsosure: fglrx doesn't support AIGLX. you have to use XGL
[05:13] <cyanics> gsosure have you tried starting beryl-manager?
[05:13] <ward_> RAOF, no problem i'll just try to recompile and do it all over
[05:13] <strabes> Pelo: ok, thanks though
[05:13] <redcard> rubberducky: Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.. typically it'd appear under the Windows Network in Nautilus.  My only other suggestion would be to try the forum
[05:13] <Beyond_The_Grave> How do I get WPA-PSK to work on ubuntu? I don't even see it as an option in System>Administration>Networking...
[05:13] <godlygeek> So, if i found something that i think is a bug (in this case, something in gnome-power-manager) and can point to a line in source that i believe to be wrong, is the proper etiquette to file a bug report and let someone else close it if they think i'm wrong?  :)
[05:13] <Anguis> How does the alternate cd differ in installation such that it would be successful where the normal version is not?
[05:13] <gsosure> yeah i have, the manager starts and says the effects are active, but none of them work
[05:13] <Smilez> Does anyone by chance know of a TV scheduling website that has RSS feeds?
[05:14] <Beyond_The_Grave> How do I get WPA-PSK to work on ubuntu? I don't even see it as an option in System>Administration>Networking...
[05:14] <godlygeek> Anguis: I believe the alt CD doesn't launch a live CD gui, just an installer.
[05:14] <Flannel> Anguis: theyre entirely different installatoin methods. Alt CD is textmode (no LiveCD)
[05:14] <Pelo> Anguis,  text based install will install the os allowing you to install the proper video drivers later
[05:14] <marlinth> well that didn't work
[05:14] <leagris> gordy_au, on a LAN nated behind such broadband boxes, the DHCP service provide the box's IP address as DNS service. Sometimes you may prefer using your internet providers provided DNS directly from LAN workstations or setting a real DNS srvice on the LAN for local stations and forwarding other requests to the providers DNS services.
[05:14] <marlinth> Apparently I can't use the evdev driver for my mouse
[05:14] <strabes> godlygeek: Anguis: that is true. they install the same thing though. I usually just get the alternate CD because i don't want to bother with loading the GUI becaues I already know all of my hardware works with linux
[05:15] <marlinth> How do I install new themes for ubuntu?
[05:15] <Smilez> Does anyone by chance know of a TV scheduling website that has RSS feeds?? anybody?
[05:15] <Beyond_The_Grave> Anybody know anything about WPA-PSK on Ubuntu?
[05:15] <Smilez> marlinth: http://gnomelook.org
[05:15] <marlinth> thank you smilez
[05:15] <Anguis> Thanks, folks - I'll give that a try.
[05:15] <non|inear> OK, in gparted i'm getting an error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or other error."  this is my linux partition that i am on right now.  also had a grub error ww (no such partiotn) when trying to boot ubuntu.  how to fix thius?
[05:15] <redcard> strabes: I got the alt CD for my parents new machine :)  It's got OEM mode on it :)
[05:15] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: using wpasupplicant directly or network-manager?
[05:15] <RAOF> Beyond_The_Grave: If you're using network-manager, it should Just Work (if, and only if, your driver supports it)
[05:15] <Smilez> marlinth: no problem. its all categorized. download it, save to desktop, extract, go to prefs>themes>add new
[05:16] <Jas1> I am a newbie here, and I'm trying to use the live cd, but I get and error that says "failed to start the X interface". Can anyone help?
[05:16] <strabes> redcard: nice one. i put ubuntu on my parents' computer as well.
[05:16] <neonimr> how to provide a username/password to my ethernet connection
[05:16] <Beyond_The_Grave> The Network manager preferibly
[05:16] <cyanics> Jas1, you probably don't have a supported video card, or a video configuration.
[05:16] <redcard> strabes: They love it.  I swear, when this thing is installed via OEM, it's beyond easy
[05:16] <gordy_au> leagris: thanks, its in a work enviroment. I need to use both dns servers. I think i may have found a work-around in nswitch
[05:16] <leagris> non|inear, the superblock for that partition may be broken. tryes fsck
[05:16] <non|inear> ok
[05:16] <non|inear> thnx
[05:16] <redcard> strabes: I just wish there was a way to generate a restore CD
[05:17] <Smilez> anybody: TV Scheduling site with RSS feeds?
[05:17] <Beyond_The_Grave> If I have to use wpa_supplicant, just tell in detail
[05:17] <Jas1> I have an ATI Radeon X1400?
[05:17] <strabes> redcard: just back up their home directory
[05:17] <strabes> Jas1: me too
[05:17] <Jas1> Do I have to setup a video configuration?
[05:17] <redcard> strabes: No, I mean like the OEMs give out.  Where you just put the CD in and reboot, and it acts like it's out of box
[05:17] <neonimr> how to provide a username/password to my ethernet connection
[05:17] <Beyond_The_Grave> RAOF?
[05:17] <cyanics> Jas1, what kind of monitor?
[05:18] <non|inear> leagris, how do i do that?  it tells me i can't run fsck on a mounted filesystem
[05:18] <Smilez> neonimr: You mean PPPoE? DSL?
[05:18] <FuzzplugJones> just installed fiesty on an HP Pavilion zv6315us.  When i tap my mousepad to click, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  didn't do this in that *other* OS nobody likes... it's driving me crazy, help!
[05:18] <strabes> redcard: what's the difference between that and the live CD
[05:18] <Jas1> cyanics: it's a Dell laptop (inspiron 6400), 1280x800
[05:18] <cheeseboy> wheres eggdrop config ?
[05:18] <strabes> FuzzplugJones: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad
[05:18] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK, anybody else know about WPA-PSK or how to configure wpa_supplicant?
[05:19] <FuzzplugJones> thank you strabes
[05:19] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: which driver are you using?
[05:19] <neonimr> Smilez: mmmmm.... DSL yeah
[05:19] <redcard> strabes: Well, all the manipulation and stuff I did after I installed the base OS and such.  You ever see OEM mode installs?
[05:19] <leagris> non|inear, unmount the partition. If it can't then either do that from the livecd or go to single mode by init 1 then mount -oremount,ro (readonly) the partition befor fsck
[05:19] <non|inear> yea, i can't burn any working CDs cause my burner sux
[05:19] <non|inear> heh
[05:19] <cyanics> Jas1, it might not recognize the screen resolution. try specifying the screen size in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as 1024x768
[05:19] <neonimr> Smilez: in windows they use the Cicso Clean agent
[05:19] <strabes> redcard: no. I just use the alternate CD every time
[05:19] <non|inear> ok
[05:19] <cheeseboy> eggrop config where?
[05:19] <Noonan> Tarkus, hey
[05:19] <strabes> redcard: don't want to bother with the GUI install.
[05:19] <strabes> don't need to
[05:20] <Beyond_The_Grave> Well, it recognizes my card (which is a ralink card), I just need to figure out why it won't let me choose WPA-PSK...
[05:20] <Smilez> neonimr: whats your dsl provider? and what dsl modem do you have?
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: oh, you mean n-m?
[05:20] <Smilez> neonimr: you don't have a router to handle the connection?
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: I generally avoid n-m.
[05:20] <Beyond_The_Grave> n-m?
[05:20] <Jas1> cyanics: how do I access /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[05:20] <Wiseguy> hey guys, what do i need to do to get my nvidia card fully working?
[05:20] <Wiseguy> with 3d and all
[05:20] <kandrews> Hi, is there a way to install the base system even if the cd drive fails? Can I configure the repositories from the install?
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: network-manager.
[05:20] <shigutso> how to make Desktop Effects work on ATI Video Card?
[05:20] <Flannel> !install | kandrews
[05:20] <ubotu> kandrews: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[05:20] <Smilez> Wiseguy: Google -> "
[05:20] <neonimr> Smilez: i have a router , but it is a unveristy connection
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: I use the interfaces(5) method for wpa_supplicant.
[05:20] <redcard> strabes: Basically, it works like this.  It does the Alternate CD install, and then lets you use an account named "oem" to set up drivers, settings, the like.  Once you get done, you type "oem-config-prepare" and it removes the OEM account and on the next boot up asks the user for a time zone, language, user name, and password.
[05:20] <Smilez> sorry Wiseguy: Google -> "Envy nvidia script"
[05:20] <Beyond_The_Grave> Oh, well, I like to use it but, if I have to do something else that's fine, just be detailed
[05:20] <Tarkus> Noonan, yo, whats up?
[05:20] <Flannel> !nvidia | Wiseguy
[05:20] <ubotu> Wiseguy: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:20] <cyanics> Jas1, you should be able to do a <ctnl><alt><f1>
[05:21] <Beyond_The_Grave> How do you do that?
[05:21] <cyanics> Jas1, and get to the console.
[05:21] <Smilez> neonimr: why do you need pppoe on a university lan?
[05:21] <Noonan> Tarkus, nmnm
[05:21] <dsfsdf> sorry
[05:21] <dsfsdf> got disconnected
[05:21] <marlinth> please someone help me fix my (expletive deleted) mouse
[05:21] <dsfsdf> Smilez: did u say somehting
[05:21] <cyanics> Jas1, then just cd to "/etc/X11/" and vi xorg.conf
[05:21] <strabes> redcard: so you don't have problems with drivers and things especially with ATI cards that don't support the open source driver?
[05:21] <marlinth> every time I get into doing something it cuts out on me
[05:21] <redcard> strabes: Oh, I have the problems.
[05:21] <Smilez> Wiseguy: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html <-- dont bother with built in Nvidia drivers
[05:21] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz
[05:22] <Smilez> dsfsdf: what was your question?
[05:22] <Noonan> Tarkus, i give u second ok
[05:22] <Jas1> cyanics: what should I enter to change the screen resolution values?
[05:22] <redcard> strabes: But they don't.. they just start it up, set their information, and then are presented with this nice neat OS , background , bookmarks, and collection of jpgs of their kids :)
[05:22] <dsfsdf> Smilez: did u say somehting
[05:22] <Smilez> Jas1: you got problems with resolution with nvidia drivers?
[05:22] <Smilez> dsfsdf: not sure, what was your question?
[05:22] <Jimdb> hey GURUs I have a question.  I have recently installed Adobe reader and want to use it instead of the "document viewer".  When I right click on a .pdf file and choose properties then go to the "open with" tab and I see the two programs available, I don't seem to be able to switch it from the default "document viewer" to the adobe reader.  how to i ensure it will allow me to make this change.
[05:22] <Smilez> oh my bad
[05:22] <carlos> hola
[05:23] <Smilez> yeah i asked why you need a l/p for pppoe on university lan?
[05:23] <Smilez> you've always had to? do you have a modem?
[05:23] <Tarkus> !permissions
[05:23] <Wiseguy> Smilez, so its better to use the drivers off nvidia.com than use the ones in synaptic?
[05:23] <Jas1> smilez: no I'm having trouble with live cd. I have ATI Radeon X1400
[05:23] <godlygeek> No one answered the first time, so I'll try once more:  If i found something that i think is a bug (in this case, something in gnome-power-manager) and can point to a line in source that i believe to be wrong, is the proper etiquette to file a bug report and let someone else close it if they think i'm wrong?  :)
[05:23] <Beyond_The_Grave> Ok, so what do I do with that? (and please understand now, I am VERY new to linux)
[05:23] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:23] <Smilez> Jas1: oh sorry...
[05:23] <dsfsdf> smiles: in windows they use cisco clean agent to authenticat with the a username ( univ. ID ) and a password
[05:23] <Smilez> Wiseguy: video drivers or mouse drivers?
[05:24] <redcard> godlygeek: Go ahead and file the bug report.. it'll get triaged from there.
[05:24] <Wiseguy> video drivers
[05:24] <Smilez> dsfsdf: let me see what can be done
[05:24] <Smilez> you might have to install cisco clean agent in wine
[05:24] <dsfsdf> oh shit
[05:24] <fwp> how do I boot with no vga?
[05:24] <godlygeek> redcard: works for me.
[05:24] <fwp> I added vga=no to my grub line but it doesn't seem to work
[05:24] <Smilez> dsfsdf: hold up... i found some forum posts on this exact topic
[05:24] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: read it.  Use mode #2.
[05:25] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: please do not query me unless I request it.
[05:25] <Tarkus> can someone send me a link to the file/folder permissions page on the ubuntu site. i cant find it atm..
[05:25] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK...
[05:25] <Tarkus> i need to see how to use chmod
[05:25] <Beyond_The_Grave> Anything else I might have to worry about?
[05:25] <redcard> godlygeek: If ya know , what line and all that, be descriptive ;)
[05:25] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: nope.  If you have additional questions, feel free to ask.
[05:25] <godlygeek> I am almost 100% positive that the gnome-power-manager in feisty hibernates at a low battery percent when set to use time, and a low battery time remaining when set to use percent, heh
[05:25] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK ;)
[05:26] <godlygeek> redcard: Yeh, I'll point out the lines i think are wrong.. i think it's just a little logic error on one line.

[05:27] <Smilez> dsfsdf: If you don't already have Wine installed, go to applications -> Add/Remove software and install wine
[05:27] <Smilez> dsfsdf: then download the cisco clean agent, and get it installed
[05:27] <Phab> is anyone having a focus problem ?(new windows not being on top) and does someone how how to fix it?
[05:27] <Smilez> dsfsdf: its worth a shot... i tried google, but didn't seem to have too much info
[05:27] <LordTureis> phab: are you using beryl?
[05:28] <Phab> LordTureis, no i'm not using beryl or desktop effects (no for both)
[05:28] <Wiseguy> Smilez, do you know if that envy script will work for fesity fawn?
[05:28] <sanityx> Vistasux, we share you're sentiments but that nick is immature.
[05:28] <sanityx> your*
[05:28] <Phab> LordTureis, I am however using the NVIDIA RESTRICTED driver
[05:28] <Smilez> Wiseguy: I installed feisty, and envy, and swear by it
[05:28] <crdlb> Wiseguy: don't use it
[05:28] <Smilez> Wiseguy: prior to using envy, i couldnt go beyond 800x600, and now i got full functinoality
[05:28] <Smilez> crdlb: why do you say that?
[05:29] <crdlb> because it sucks
[05:29] <Phab> what is envy
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Why is envy even necessary now
[05:29] <Prez> this is very strange, using x-chat in feisty, when I connect to undernet network eveyrthing is fine, as soon as aI join a channel, x-chat crashes completely
[05:29] <Smilez> it detects the proper hardware, and downloads the appropriate drivers
[05:29] <crdlb> the restricted manager works just fine and does it the right way
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Feisty can get the driver on its own automatically
[05:29] <Wiseguy> crdlb, so just use the .run file from nvidia?
[05:29] <sanityx> Envy is now officially retarded, unless you MUST have the newest driver
[05:29] <Smilez> sanityx: when i installed feisty, i did it the normal way, and it wouldnt let me go beyond 800x600 with graphics card enabled
[05:29] <crdlb> Wiseguy: no
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Strange.
[05:29] <crdlb> that's just as bad
[05:29] <Smilez> sanityx: in my case, it was necessary
[05:29] <Thatguy> How do I change the background when using compiz? Like when using the cube thing. I'm speaking of 7.04 of course.
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Agreed.
[05:29] <Smilez> i ended up reinstalling about 3 times
[05:30] <crdlb> Wiseguy: system>administration>restricted manager
[05:30] <Smilez> before someone suggested envy
[05:30] <crdlb> after using the restricted manager you may want to upgrade to nvidia-glx-new
[05:30] <nomin> any mythtv users in here?  I'm only getting sound out of the left speaker.  Is the problem with mythtv or with the set recording source option?
[05:30] <crdlb> if you have at least a FX card
[05:30] <crdlb> but there's no need to
[05:30] <Wiseguy> ive got an 6200LE
[05:31] <Thatguy> hello?
[05:31] <Thatguy> any takers?
[05:31] <Wiseguy> crdlb, does that make the necessary changes to my xorg.conf as well?
[05:31] <crdlb> Wiseguy: yes
[05:31] <crdlb> it does everything
[05:32] <crdlb> that's why it's called the "restricted drivers manager"
[05:32] <Smilez> Thatguy: wish i knew

[05:33] <crdlb> you'll find it at system>preferences>gl desktop
[05:33] <Smilez> how do you even get compiz installed? Download the .deb?
[05:33] <crdlb> Smilez: it's included by default
[05:33] <Smilez> i had xgl/beryl in opensuse, but it sucked big time... super buggy
[05:34] <Smilez> crdlb: so its enabled when i turn on desktop effects? and is trans cube possible?
[05:34] <crdlb> Smilez: yes, and no
[05:34] <Thatguy> So I just type gnome-compiz-manager in the terminal to install it?
[05:34] <crdlb> Thatguy: no use a package manager
[05:34] <dsfsdf> smilez: oh all i needed is just rebooting
[05:34] <Thatguy> Oh,got it
[05:34] <Smilez> dsfsdf: hahah nice one :D
[05:34] <Smilez> crdlb: thats cool... the cube is slightly useless
[05:34] <dsfsdf> smilez: i get directed automatically to a login page
[05:34] <Smilez> and theres only so many times you can play with snow/rain/wiper blades
[05:35] <dsfsdf> smilez: no need for Cisco clean agent
[05:35] <Smilez> oh nice dsfsdf, thats what i thought
[05:35] <shigutso> how to make Desktop Effects work on ATI Video Card? (ubuntu 7.04)
[05:35] <Smilez> dsfsdf: when you first explained it, you made it seem like you had DSL (PPPoE)
[05:35] <crdlb> shigutso: #ubuntu-effects
[05:35] <dsfsdf> smilez: i think that agent is because windows is for dump people with trojans and all sorts of worms , but in linux it can detect from the web browser so all you need is just loging in
[05:35] <shigutso> crdlb, thanks :)
[05:36] <Smilez> dsfsdf: that very well may be the case... it knows theres nothing to worry about
