[00:00] <JoshJ> Rixon-, no it's not. the manufacturer is one of those who uses 1000's instead of 1024 to try to make it look bigger
[00:00] <Flannel> tritium: No, not of gdm.  Although reinstall ubuntu-desktop would reinstall gdm as well.  but that's besides the point.
[00:00] <Rixon-> ok
[00:00] <JoshJ> peternix, what manufacturer is it? you may be able to pile onto a class-action lawsuit :)
[00:00] <Slart> peternix: no
[00:00] <Genesi1> any1 know of a video converter to convert avi to mp4?
[00:00] <xq> tico: This might be your best bet! http://www.ubuntugeek.com/qgrubeditor-a-visual-grub-configuration-editor.html -- try it out, it works well for many.
[00:00] <tritium> Flannel: no, the point was that she reinstalled gdm, not ubuntu-desktop
[00:00] <tico> Flannel: i dont have the disk and i'm logged in ubuntu, but I'm afraid that if i restart the machine it wont but again
[00:00] <Slart> peternix: it's been like that for.. well.. at least 5 years
[00:00] <tico> xq: thanks
[00:00] <peternix> Dam
[00:00] <peternix> n
[00:01] <J-a-k-e> Flannel: I missed the last part of your message there. So the problem is in /boot then? I'll just se if i can find an ext3 filesystemn viewer that way I wont need to reboot
[00:01] <xq> tico: Also a detailed how to for that tool can be found at: http://www.howtoforge.com/managing-grub-with-qgrubeditor-on-ubuntu7.10
[00:01] <JoshJ> Slart, well, Western Digital got owned.
[00:01] <Flannel> tritium: right, and when you said "you need to reinstall ubuntu-desktop and fast-u-s-a" I said, reinstalling hte former (u-d) will grab the latter (f-u-s-a)
[00:01] <xq> tico: No problem, let me/us know if you run into anything in the configuration of GRUB
[00:01] <Slart> JoshJ: they did? in court?
[00:01] <JoshJ> So now WD at least uses the correct sizes
[00:01] <JoshJ> er, they settled
[00:01] <tritium> Flannel: indeed.
[00:01] <JoshJ> there was Seagate as well, lemme check the results of that
[00:01] <Flannel> J-a-k-e: The problem is /boot/grub/menu.lst, which is the menu config file that tells GRUB how to boot everything, yeah.  Luckily, wecan edit it in place, at the menu itself.  We just need to do so.
[00:01] <Lalo2> So...
[00:01] <JoshJ> oh, Seagate settled also.
[00:01] <xq> tico: But that will definitely overwrite/install to MBR (or another boot sector) for you replacing LILO
[00:01] <Monica_2> tritium, flannel, i really appreciate you two, could you help a girl out?
[00:02] <tritium> Monica_2: have you reinstalled ubuntu-desktop yet?
[00:02] <Flannel> J-a-k-e: we just need to get to the GRUB menu, then we can edit it
[00:02] <Lalo2> nobody has his session closed when trying to restore a minimized aplication??
[00:02] <tico> xq: ok thanks =)
[00:02] <Slart> JoshJ: oh.. nice to see common sense prevail for once =)
[00:02] <xq> tico: No problem, happy GRUBin
[00:02] <peternix> It /is/ Western Digital
[00:02] <Flannel> tico: You're correct.  It wont.  Youcould try installing the grub package, but I'm not sure if that'll do everything.  Can't hurt to try, at any rate.
[00:02] <tritium> Monica_2: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (verify that fast-user-switch-applet is intsalled as well automatically)
[00:02] <sasori> hello everybody
[00:02] <Rixon-> hi dr nick
[00:02] <Monica_2> tritium, i wasnt aware that i was supposed to, is it,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[00:02] <sarakh> Hello
[00:02] <JoshJ> peternix, look carefully at the box; make sure it doesn't have "binary gigabytes" or "gibibytes" somewhere in fine print
[00:03] <tritium> Monica_2: yes, it was uninstalled when you removed gdm
[00:03] <sarakh> a question for you guys
[00:03] <JoshJ> also, when'd you buy it?
[00:03] <sasori> excuse me
[00:03] <Monica_2> ok, just a sec

[00:03] <tritium> Monica_2: I told you already ;)
[00:03] <sasori> i have some problems with my ubuntu
[00:03] <Flannel> peternix, JoshJ, you mind taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic?  thanks
[00:03] <xq> Flannel: Gave him a link to QGrubEditor and how-to. It's "the grub configurator-magic-tool-love" hehe
[00:03] <J-a-k-e> Flannel: ok I'll reboot and write down what i get when i hit "e" be back in about 5 mins
[00:04] <cpro> hello
[00:04] <Flannel> J-a-k-e: If you don't have a seond box, you can boot to an Ubuntu LiveCD and we can edit from that (and you can IRC from that too)
[00:04] <Monica_2> tritium, ok, it is installing those two you spoke of
[00:04] <Rixon-> JoshJ: or gigabits

[00:06] <max__> Can someone please help me? I can't get mythtv working. It used to be just fine, but now It's complaining about an incompatible protocol that I'm using, and I dont know how to fix it.
[00:06] <rbw> Slart:  hrm.  I have OpenJDK 1.6.0-b09.  I should go with the sun package then?
[00:07] <Monica_2> tritium, it flashed this time, but it is still the white screen   :(
[00:07] <harpreet> Flannel: when i am trying to configure 64 bit atheros i get an error of not finding a file at this command tar xvf ndiswrapper-newest.tar.gz
[00:07] <tritium> Monica_2: hmm
[00:07] <robg_> rbw: dump OpenJDK install Sun Java
[00:07] <Slart> rbw: I honestly don't know.. there are so many java packages these days.. but I use suns java.. might as well give it a try
[00:07] <Flannel> harpreet: I imagine you don't have that file in the current directory then.  do you have anything similar?
[00:07] <sasori> when i start my ubuntu (i have installed wubi) i have the ubuntu 's splash screen 2 seocnd after i have the busybox without error
[00:07] <asabil> sarakh: click on the network icon to the top right

[00:08] <sasori> i can't start it
[00:08] <Monica_2> tritium, i got a `fatal xserver` error earlier...is that it?
[00:08] <sarakh> I guess we figured it out
[00:08] <rbw> I had sun java on Gutsy... didn't expect Hardy to change it.
[00:08] <sarakh> thanks guys :)
[00:08] <sarakh> byebye
[00:08] <asabil> sarakh: the enable roaming mode
[00:08] <tritium> Monica_2: when?
[00:08] <asabil> ok cool

[00:09] <sasori> please
[00:09] <Flannel> !fr | sasori
[00:09] <JoshJ> !fr
[00:09] <Monica_2> when this started happening, i rebooted before i asked here on IRC, and got it then
[00:09] <corto_> #debian-user-french
[00:09] <harpreet> Flannel: I got ndiswrapper 1.52.tar.gz or  ar5007eg-64.0.2.tar.gz thats it
[00:09] <sasori> i said ubottu
[00:09] <alado2> does someone have a Nvidia card which works to 100% with ubuntu? in that case which?
 #debian-user-french
[00:09] <tritium> corto_: that's for debian, not ubuntu (ubuntu uses #ubuntu-fr)
[00:09] <sasori> but the french irc server don't know the solution
[00:10] <IndyGunFreak> alado2: what do you mean by 100%?.. mine works fine, 3d is good, i run dual monitors with it, what more do you want to work?
[00:10] <Slart> alado2: I have a geforce 8800gtx. works nicely for me
[00:10] <max__> Poser la question.
[00:10] <rbw> alado2:  I do.  older one though.  7300 GS or something
[00:10] <Flannel> harpreet: alright, then use that.  It'll even be easier, type "tar xvf ndisw" and then hit tab
[00:10] <sasori> ok peut etre ce chan
[00:10] <sasori> j'essaye thank
[00:10] <Monica_2> tritium, when i rebooted after this started the 1st time
[00:10] <cpro>  hello there - has anybody any knowledge of SKYPE and how to fix it when the sound is lousy ?
[00:10] <tritium> Monica_2: rebooted after what?
[00:11] <max__> Il y a un possibilite que je peux traduire quest-ce-que tu veux pour demander aux autres gens.
[00:11] <tritium> max__: English, please
[00:11] <max__> Trying to help him out.
[00:11] <alado2> IndyGunFreak: i mean it should work, as it is meant to, 3d, tv-out etc.
[00:11] <elfizz> how do I get video overlay to work with mplayer, using fglrx driver?
[00:11] <aoupi> my home just dissapeared, it's a separete partition mounted to $HOME (not /home) what should I do to make sure I don't break anything?
[00:11] <IndyGunFreak> alado2: ok, so what problems are you having w/ it?
[00:11] <tritium> max__: we told him where to get French help.
[00:11] <alado2> Slart: rbw: ok thnx i'll see if i find them on ebay
[00:11] <max__> he said that there was nobody that knew how to solve the issue there
[00:11] <tritium> max__: then do it in private
[00:12] <max__> don't even know how XD
[00:12] <alado2> IndyGunFreak: i dont have any problems, i want to buy one though, which has no problems
[00:12] <Monica_2> tritium, when i installed the login screen, i rebooted to try it out, got the white screen, read in a forum to `repair xserver from the recovery menu`, but when i did, i got a fatal xserver error
[00:12] <rbw> alado2:  just have to install the restricted drivers, but that's pretty easy to do
[00:12] <anabolix> why when i run to programs that deal with outputting sound does my system then get screwed up and i cant open sound files?
[00:12] <rbw> well, don't really HAVE to.  but to get good performance, I think you have to.
[00:12] <sasori> i have tryed the chan 'debian-french-user" there is nobody was speaking
[00:12] <sasori> snif
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> alado2: i see, well my 7300 GT works fine.. are you talking about AGP, or PCI-E or what?
[00:13] <tritium> Monica_2: I need to go fix dinner.
[00:13] <sasori> a people can help me ?
[00:13] <Monica_2> tritium, the console is fine, but the gui will not display anything but the white screen---ok, thanks alot
[00:13] <max__> sasori, I can help you.
[00:13] <max__> Do you have msn/aim?
[00:13] <Monica_2> :)
[00:13] <sasori> yes
[00:13] <tritium> max__: use /query <nick> to PM
[00:13] <oc80z> Hey Ubuntu
[00:13] <Stu> Anyone know how to write/type a hash on a UK iMac aluminium keyboard ??
[00:13] <oc80z> A PPTP VPN is not possible on neither OpenVZ nor Xen. Why? Because it needs to recompile the kernel from scratch to include some code in order to implement PPTP protocol. Otherwise, it's not possible.
[00:13] <oc80z> How can i bring up /dev/net/tun
[00:13] <alado2> IndyGunFreak: good question, agp 8x or something like that
[00:14] <JoshJ> Stu, on ubuntu you can always tell it to treat it as the US layout
[00:14] <JoshJ> which will make it shift-3
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> alado2: ok, i'd say most of the agp models will work fine for you
[00:14] <JoshJ> system-preferences-keyboard
[00:14] <tritium> Stu: what is "hash"?  # ?
[00:14] <oc80z> wtff
[00:14] <Flannel> tritium: yes
[00:14] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, just for reference, i have a 7300, a 8600, and an 8800 all working great with restricted drivers
[00:14] <Stu> tritium: yes
[00:14] <tritium> Stu: on my UK keyboard, it's above the Enter key on the right side
[00:14] <Stu> JoshJ: just for the hash key... seems a bit odd
[00:14] <Gumby`> Hi all, I am trying to get my backend back up and running but the mysql connection keeps getting denied.  "Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"  I've run mythtv setup and it shows <IP_ADDRESS> (local box) as the mysql backend server (as it should be) and I have tested mysql from the command line (mysql -umythtv -p) and all works well there.  mysql.txt also shows the proper username/pass.  Anyone have any id
[00:14] <Gumby`> ea why this is failing?
[00:14] <anabolix> why when i run to programs that deal with outputting sound does my system then get screwed up and i cant open sound files?????
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: my 7300 works great w/ the restricted driver..
[00:14] <JoshJ> Stu, well most other keys are the same
[00:14] <Stu> tritium: its a mac keyboard
[00:14] <Stu> it doesnt have a hash key
[00:15] <alado2> IndyGunFreak: ok good, if found a few cheap ones on ebay, thnx
[00:15] <IndyGunFreak> alado2: np..
[00:15] <Stu> ok thanks JoshJ might do that
[00:15] <JoshJ> Stu, if the KB doesn't have a hash key you're going to need to either switch it to a layout that does have one
[00:15] <xodiak> Both Alien Arena and Tremulous play and look okay. But each game has an annoying black flicker thing going on every few seconds.
[00:15] <tritium> Stu: it's not shift-3?
[00:15] <Stu> tritium: no that gives £
[00:15] <Stu> like I said, its a UK keyboard
[00:15] <JoshJ> or learn xmodmap or whatever it is that does custom keyboard commands
[00:15] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, just for reference :-)
[00:15] <tritium> Stu: ok, so it's truly a UK keyboard, just a Mac version...
[00:15] <tritium> No idea where they put it.
[00:15] <eXploide> pidorasi
[00:15] <xodiak> I mean video card question: Both Alien Arena and Tremulous play and look okay. But each game has an annoying black flicker thing going on every few seconds.
[00:15] <eXploide> gamaseki
[00:16] <Stu> is there a gui front end to xmodmap ?
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: i think *most* of the nvidia cards, work w/o issue.. i know with gutsy, there were some issues with the 8800 GTX i think, and the restricted driver
[00:16] <sasori> oh shit
[00:16] <JoshJ> Stu, there's a way you can switch layouts with one keypress
[00:16] <tritium> !language | sasori
[00:16] <sasori> i must register myself for send PM
[00:16] <max__> no, you don't.
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> sasori: well, newsflash
[00:16] <eXploide> pediki us
[00:16] <JoshJ> in keyboard preferences, hit layout, then layout options, then rollout layout switching
[00:16] <tritium> max__: yes, you do on freenode
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> !pm
[00:16] <IndyGunFreak> !register
[00:16] <sasori> !pm
[00:16] <JoshJ> Stu, from there you can pick a key that switches layouts while pressed or change the layout altogether
[00:17] <max__> sasori !register
[00:17] <eXploide> max ti pidoras
[00:17] <n-iCe> is there any way to run a .pl perl script on windows?
[00:17] <sasori> !register
[00:17] <tritium> eXploide: English, please
[00:17] <tritium> n-iCe: ask in #windows
[00:17] <JoshJ> Stu,  so if you do "while pressed" you can make it effectively so that.... say, win-key + shift + 3 does a hash
[00:17] <alan_m> sasori, please stop that.
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> the link is right above, what do you need sasori
[00:17] <sasori> what is the problem
[00:18] <Stu> JoshJ: sorry, this is all using what application ?
[00:18] <sasori> alan_m
[00:18] <Stu> xmodmap ?
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> !msgthebot | sasori constantly triggering the bot is annoying
[00:18] <JoshJ> Stu, system, preferences, keyboard preferences
[00:18] <Stu> oh
[00:18] <alado2> by the way, is it just to replace the video card and boot up ubuntu or do i have to do something before?
[00:18] <JoshJ> Stu, xmodmap is a much more complicated thing
[00:18] <JoshJ> this is probably simpler :)
[00:18] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, In gutsy i had no issues with 8800gtx, but i dont do compiz or VM, or anything but Play COH and Deus Ex and Splinter-Cell
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> alado2: now that i'm not sure of...
[00:18] <max__> Sasori, PM me your screenname
[00:18] <jadewolf> Hey guys is there a mixer that helps you alter pitch and tone of the microphone when recording? Or is that something that would be specific to the software that does the recording? I'm trying to make sound effects for a website (I am a ubuntu user :) )
[00:19] <sasori> max_ you can speak french ?
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: well one would think if you could play those games under Linux, you could use compiz.
[00:19] <max__> Yes.
[00:19] <eXploide> tritium, and I in what language talk?
[00:19] <tritium> sasori: stay on topic please.
[00:19] <oc80z> A PPTP VPN is not possible on neither OpenVZ nor Xen. Why? Because it needs to recompile the kernel from scratch to include some code in order to implement PPTP protocol. Otherwise, it's not possible. ---- How can i bring up /dev/net/tun
[00:19] <JoshJ> Stu, that's also the same general area you can find the "compose" key settings which makes it easier to type things like é
[00:19] <tritium> eXploide: English in this channel, as I stated.
[00:19] <sasori> thank max_
[00:19] <Stu> #
[00:19] <Stu> woooo
[00:19] <kitche> jadewolf: after you recorded you input the sound into audacity and play with the filters it has :)
[00:19] <JoshJ> :D
[00:19] <chv> someone know, where I can find a 64 Bit Version of Adobe Air for Linux??
[00:20] <Monica_2> :(
[00:20] <Stu> JoshJ: cool thanks
[00:20] <jadewolf> So there is no way to do it on the fly Kitche?
[00:20] <kitche> jadewolf: not without special hardware and such
[00:20] <Stu> whats the best way to run a windows box inside ubuntu for work purposes?
[00:20] <sasori> max_ how i can send a pm to you ?
[00:20] <JoshJ> Stu, VMWare most likely
[00:20] <Stu> is there something better than vmware server?
[00:20] <max__> use /query __max
[00:20] <max__> whoops
[00:20] <SeaPhor> IndyGunFreak, but i dont need, I love my linux (Ubuntu) just the way it is! :-) and I am so happy to be finally free of ALL MS!
[00:20] <sasori> i am a big newbies
[00:20] <jadewolf> >.< damn I just saw soemthign like that for winblows and was hoping linux had caught up
[00:20] <max__> other way around for my name
[00:20] <Stu> !xen
[00:21] <kitche> Stu: vmware, qemu, virtualbox
[00:21] <Starnestommy> Stu: virtualbox, qemu/kvm, or xen
[00:21] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: its definitely a refreshing feeling...
[00:21] <Stu> I hear that microsoft officially support xen now
[00:21] <JoshJ> !virtualization
[00:21] <Stu> novell's xen anyway
[00:21] <Rixon-> Stu: i'd recommend virtualbox to be honest. https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI
[00:21] <eXploide> tritium, ne pizdi suka ebanaya.
[00:21] <kitche> Stu: well xen is probably a bit more then you want really
[00:21] <eXploide> how many costs 8800gtx
[00:21] <eXploide> ?
[00:21] <JoshJ> i've only used VMWare, myself.
[00:21] <Stu> i'll check out virtual box
[00:21] <xenos_> how do i check the version i'm running with xubuntu?
[00:21] <xenos_> updates are 'up to date' but ... i doubt it.
[00:21] <blumm> hi
[00:22] <JoshJ> xenos_, the version of what?
[00:22] <sasori> max in my log it was write it
[00:22] <JoshJ> xubuntu itself?
[00:22] <Stu> xenos_: uname -r ?
[00:22] <kitche> !version | xenos_
[00:22] <max__> Huh?
[00:22] <sasori> i msut registrer for pm
[00:22] <Stu> oops thats kernel
[00:22] <blumm> i cant login as root anymore, it says my username isnt in sudoers
[00:22] <blumm> any ideas?
[00:22] <max__> whats your msn/aim then? Just tell me
[00:22]  * SeaPhor is laying on a beach in cabbo, with a beer and a beautiful woman, thats how i feel being free of MS
[00:22] <blumm> i shut down ubuntu via reset button
[00:22] <kitche> blumm: your user is not in the sudoers file need to add it if you want to use sudo
[00:22] <Starnestommy> blumm: go into recovery mode then add your user to the admin group
[00:22] <sasori><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:22] <DG19075> concurs with SeaPhor :)
[00:22] <Stu> since when does root need to be in sudoers?
[00:23] <blumm> kitche: everything worked perfectly before
[00:23] <Stu> why would you sudo as root in the first place
[00:23] <Rixon-> blumm, go to system>administration>users and groups, click 'unlock', root pw, check your user grups
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> blumm: that could be all sorts of fun.
[00:23] <max__> Added you sasori.
[00:23] <xenos_> Great! 6.06 ... how the heck do i upgrade i've done the 'do-release-upgrade' but says No new release found
[00:23] <JoshJ> Stu, i assume he doesn't know what "root" itself is and thinks sudo = logging in as root
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> !upgrade | xenos_
[00:23] <Rixon-> JoshJ: yes good assumption
[00:23] <kitche> Stu: I limit root myself but more with ACL's and such :)
[00:24] <Stu> sudo -s is my friend although I know I shouldnt
[00:24] <blumm> in system -> many programs disappeared
[00:24] <blumm> ???
[00:24]  * SeaPhor shares ice-chest with DG19075
[00:24] <klaes> hey, anyone know how to start NetworkManager on startup without having to do it with gksu or sudo or smt?
[00:24] <fxfitz> My samba server ONLY accepts request from the local network (anything on the same router). How do I set samba up to accept connects from anywhere?
[00:25] <DG19075> The only problem I have is with the login screen..I'm running 8.04, and can't get the login off 1280x1024..Anyone figure tht out?
[00:26] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, if you're sure you want to do that, you have to setup subnets, and/or acl's
[00:26] <STSX> klaes: In general, if you want to start an app at startup as root user, you can put it in your /etc/rc.local file.
[00:26] <jdaic> Hey all, I installed virtualbox, and got some vboxdev.ko or something like that from synaptic package manager, and now my computer will not succesfully boot
[00:26] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, Yup, I'm pretty sure I want to do it. How would I go about doing that?
[00:26] <blumm> Rixon-: i just tried that, i get an error msg, saying authentification failed
[00:27] <jdaic> The progress bar just bounces back and forth for a really long time until it finally gets to a screen that says BusyBox built-in shell (ash), and sits there with (initramfs) displayed with a blinking cursor
[00:27] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, or you could setup a ssh server instead, depends on what you're trying to accomplish
[00:27] <blumm> how can i change anything, when my root password isnt accepted anymore?
[00:27] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, I want to be able to mount a folder from my server as a regular drive from linux AND Windows machines.
[00:27] <klaes> STSX, omg, thx, thats perfect :)
[00:28] <legend2440> DG19075: have you read this? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/08/13/gdm-login-screen-resolution-too-big-to-fit-screen-try-this/
[00:28] <STSX> klaes: No problem, glad to help. :)
[00:28] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, over the local network, or over the internet?
[00:28] <klaes> STSX, btw, would i have to put like... "NetworkManager &" or can i leave out the "&"? :)
[00:28] <eTranquility> Hi, can someone help me with a sound problem? There is no audio on my laptop and if I hit "test" under sound preferences I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". How do I fix this?
[00:29] <Ashfire908> How do I tell firefox to do HTTP and IPv6?
[00:29] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, Over the internet.
[00:29] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, It works perfectly over the local network :-P
[00:29] <Starnestommy> blumm: try going into recovery mode then adding your user to the admin group with "adduser <username> admin"
[00:29] <xodiak> how to start Samba?
[00:29] <fxfitz> xodiak, sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
[00:29] <Starnestommy> xodiak: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart
[00:30] <blumm> Starnestommy: how do i get into recovery mode?
[00:30] <Stu> are you sharing a directory via samba or sonnection to a share ?
[00:30] <Stu> connecting*
[00:30] <STSX> klaus: That's a good question, and I'm not sure, but I suspect you may have to run it in the background with the & like you suggest. You could try it without, put a command after it, and see if the other command is run.
[00:30] <blumm> sorry, im totally new
[00:30] <Jonathan_R> is there an app that will organize the menus better
[00:30] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, then you want VPN?
[00:30] <Starnestommy> blumm: reboot, press esc at the prompt, then select the recover mode option
[00:30] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, What's VPN? :(
[00:30] <blumm> thx, will try that right now
[00:30] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, Virtual Private Network
[00:31] <klaes> STSX, ye, ill have a go at it, thx again :)
[00:31] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, And how come I need VPN and not Samba? everyones been telling me Samba is the thing ti use :-P
[00:31] <klaes> STSX, brb, relogging... gotta try it no? ^^
[00:31] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, Samba is local
[00:32] <STSX> klaes: Sounds good! Sorry I have to go now, good luck though. :)
[00:32] <Stu> hey does vmware workstation/server allow you to use a partition as a disk for the virtual machine, this virtual box insists on using flat file
[00:32] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, Ahh. Alright. Well, if I set up a VPN on my ubuntu machine, I'll be able to mount it like a regular drive from ubuntu and windows?
[00:32] <Stu> all this room joining/leaving is crazy... wonder if I can turn it off
[00:33] <JoshJ> you can, but i don't know how in Purple IRC
[00:33] <Starnestommy> Stu: it depends on your client
[00:33] <JoshJ> purple IRC is Pidgin i assume?
[00:33] <xodiak> this may to much to explain here. but how do I get my ubuntu machine to show up in windows networking to share files?
[00:33] <Stu> yes
[00:33] <Starnestommy> JoshJ: it is
[00:33] <xenos_> HOW ABOUT on irssi?
[00:33] <Starnestommy> Stu: pidgin can't do it
[00:33] <xenos_> (excuse the caps0
[00:33] <Stu> sux
[00:33] <Starnestommy> xodiak: in irssi, /ignore #ubuntu joins quits parts nicks
[00:33] <Starnestommy> er, xenos_
[00:33] <fxfitz> SeaPhor, And would it be secure? What I liked about samba was only one user would be able to access it
[00:34] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, yes, in windows you add a connection in network places "vpn" on linux i dont know, I'm still a n00b :-)
[00:34] <JoshJ> tools-preferences-sounds will get rid of the sounds ones (uncheck person enters/leaves chat) but i don't know if you can get rid of the lines
[00:34] <kitche> xenos_: you might need to to put + in front of joins quits parts
[00:34] <xenos_> kitche: it worked
[00:34] <blumm> Starnestommy: thanks a lot, m8 - that helped me to solve the problme
[00:34] <Stu> i've just created a fat32 partition /dev/sda5 how can I mount it ?
[00:35] <SeaPhor> fxfitz, vpn is secure user authenticated
[00:35] <blumm> i think id be back to windows if this channel didnt exist :))
[00:35] <Stu> or device or certificate authenticated
[00:35] <Nyad> Stu,  mount -t vfat /dev/sdat /media/MyFatPartition
[00:35] <JoshJ> blumm, even a broken Ubuntu install is better than Windows
[00:36] <Nyad> Stu,  the last part will say where you are mounting it
[00:36] <Stu> Nyad: thanks can I use vfat in fstab too ?
[00:36] <Nyad> yes
[00:36] <Stu> k, ta
[00:36] <blumm> JoshJ: well, i have yet to find a ftp client with socks5, ssl, fxp support
[00:36] <raul> does ubuntu have anything comparable to convertx to dvd?
[00:36] <max__> raul: http://www.learnosity.com/techblog/index.cfm/2007/12/24/HOWTO-Create-DVDs-on-Ubuntu
[00:36] <jerrcs> hi, i've got a question. i'm thinking about installing ubuntu on my server (ubuntu-server) and i was wondering if the amd64 packages are worth it.. i don't want buggy stuff and i want maximum compatibility
[00:37] <Nyad> Stu, if you want extra info check in the system documentation index under hardware section. It has more info if your keen on learning
[00:37] <Stu> Nyad: sorry what are you talking about ?
[00:37] <ron459> Anyone want to help a noob get online wired?  been through every solution i can think of and i am stumped
[00:37] <ron459> ??
[00:37] <JoshJ> blumm, you mean on ubu or windows?
[00:37] <IndyGunFreak> raul: another good link...  http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives
[00:37] <Stu> ron459: is the card detected?
[00:37] <ron459> i believe so
[00:37] <kitche> jerrcs: well for a server it is not really amd64 is very stable just a lot of holes you need to jump though to get stuff working for desktop use really
[00:38] <Stu> ron459: does it show up in iconfig ?
[00:38] <Stu> er ifconfig
[00:38] <Nyad> Stu, documentation that comes with ubuntu, it can explain more than I can since Im also a novice, thats where I learnt
[00:38] <ron459> stu-i believe it does
[00:38] <blumm> JoshJ: on ubuntu of course, im so sick of windows
[00:38] <jerrcs> kitche: so amd64/intel64 is a good choice for servers with 64bit capable processors?
[00:38] <JoshJ> blumm, doesn't firefox's FTP stuff do all that?
[00:38] <ron459> stu - it all appears normal
[00:38] <Stu> ron459: are you on this machine at the moment ?
[00:38] <jerrcs> i can do either i386 or amd64 i just wanna know if it's "that much better"
[00:38] <jerrcs> this server will be used for large website hosting
[00:38] <ron459> stu-no-i am on my vista laptop
[00:38] <kitche> jerrcs: yes amd64 is excellent there is not such thing as intel64 unless it's ia64 really
[00:38] <blumm> JoshJ: no, unfortunately not. either socks, ssl or fxp support is missing
[00:38] <JoshJ> hrm.
[00:39] <jerrcs> kitche: well, amd64 is really for intel emt64 processors too
[00:39] <Stu> ron459: ok so how many network adapters does this machine have ?
[00:39] <jerrcs> thats what i mean, sorry
[00:39] <kitche> jerrcs: I just don't suggest amd64 for desktop use myself others might though
[00:39] <jerrcs> correct
[00:39] <blumm> JoshJ: lftp is capable to do all that, but its a command line program and i am not good enough to use it
[00:39] <scooby2> does ubuntu let you run gparted or something like that on installation?
[00:39] <JoshJ> scooby2, yes
[00:39] <kitche> jerrcs: I understood what you want just making a clearification just in case someone else wants to chime in :)
[00:39] <JoshJ> blumm, does gftp have it? an apt-cache search for "fxp" turns it up
[00:39] <ron459> stu-one - plus a wireless card wich doesnt appear, but i am not concerned about that now, i only need a wired connection
[00:39] <ish_nitti> kitche, jerrcs, i love my AMD64 desktop box
[00:39] <jerrcs> kitche: ok :P
[00:40] <Stu> ron459: ok open a terminal and type sudo ifconfig what do you see ?
[00:40] <ish_nitti> kitche, jerrcs, just gotta make sure that you get the amd64 packages :)
[00:40] <scooby2> JoshJ: thanks
[00:40] <xodiak> how to list running processes?
[00:40] <blumm> JoshJ: gftp has fxp support but no ssl spport
[00:40] <JoshJ> xodiak, ps -e
[00:40] <jerrcs> well, i like ubuntu on my desktop (when i had it working.. my computer broke -- etc...) anyways
[00:40] <ish_nitti> xodiak, JoshJ, or top from terminal :)
[00:40] <kitche> ish_nitti: to bad you have to jump though holes for some stuff which is why I don't suggest it really
[00:40] <jerrcs> i'm really taking a jump here and moving my production server to ubuntu-server instead of gentoo
[00:40] <ron459> stu - i see a lot of stuff
[00:40] <kitche> ish_nitti: unless you have more then 4 gbs of ram
[00:40] <blumm> JoshJ: when i use tlswrap to do the job i cant use my proxy anymore...
[00:40] <ron459> can i get more specifics?
[00:40] <Stu> ron459: do you see eth0 ?
[00:40] <jerrcs> and i'm just wanting whats best for stability and performance on my new server OS :)
[00:40] <ron459> stu yes
[00:41] <Stu> ron459: does it have an IP address ?
[00:41] <JoshJ> blumm, best advice i can give you then is to read the lftp manual :\
[00:41] <ish_nitti> kitche, to me, ubuntu 64bit is more compatable than 64bit windows
[00:41] <Stu> ron459: do you have something on your network that will hand out DHCP addresses ?
[00:41] <szx0> Whenever I use apt-get to try and install a package and that package fails for whatever reason.... Any subsequent apt-get calls to try and install anything else.... it always tries to install the first failed package.... any ideas?
[00:41] <ish_nitti> kitche, when a user is running 64bit, i always have them install the amd64 cd
[00:41] <kitche> ish_nitti: considering 64bit windows is not 64bit windows but anyways going a tad offtopic
[00:41] <blumm> JoshJ: i did, but as unix newbie all that isnt easy. you would need someone who did all that already
[00:41] <ish_nitti> kitche, lol
[00:42] <ron459> stu-i dont think it assigned an ip
[00:42] <X4D> hello
[00:42] <ish_nitti> szx0, what does sudo apt-get update do?
[00:42] <ron459> stu-i am not sure about the dhcp question.
[00:42] <jdaic> nevermind, i'm an idiot, i fixed it
[00:42] <Stu> ron459: what does this machine plug into via the wired connection? a router of some sort?
[00:43] <ron459> stu-i tried it plugged into directly to my modem and it still gave me no signal
[00:43] <szx0> ish_nitti, it just seems to go and grab the latest stuff as usual... why?
[00:43] <ish_nitti> jdaic, 99% of the problem is between the keyboard and the desk chair :)
[00:43] <Stu> ron459: a cable doesnt have a signal
[00:43] <ish_nitti> szx0, making sure your repos are straight
[00:43] <X4D> quick question about the VNC server in Ubuntu, I have a spanish keyboard and when I connect through VNC my keyboard layout changes to the US, is there anyway I can change this ?
[00:43] <Stu> ron459: you have a wired connection between this box and the router/switch that serves up your internet ?
[00:43] <ron459> stu- i have it plugged into the same switch as my laptop and voip and it never gave a problem before, always been pnp
[00:43] <szx0> ish_nitti, alright... well yeah that seems fine
[00:43] <Stu> ron459: ok... do you have a link light where the cable plugs in ?
[00:43] <ish_nitti> szx0, which package are you installing?
[00:44] <ron459> stu-link lights are both green on the switch
[00:44] <Stu> ron459: type sudo dhclient
[00:44] <szx0> ish_nitti, ZoneMinder
[00:44] <Stu> when mounting a device using fstab how do I make it read/write ? 0 0  ?
[00:44] <blumm> btw, is it possible to encrypt ubuntu after installation? (system encryption, not only folders)
[00:44] <jerrcs> Okay, a very technical question here.... I have a working gentoo install not doing much.. I'm trying to backup but unfortunately the net-connection isnt very fast at this moment.. is there anyway to resize my gentoo partition and install ubuntu and have another partition to gentoo's data?
[00:45] <ron459> stu-now what?
[00:45] <jerrcs> then resize them back to normal after i've moved the stuff
[00:45] <cylux> Hey guys, I am running java applications I have by doing 'java appname', but it doesn't open. On a windows box, the application works perfectly.
[00:45] <Stu> ron459: what was the result ?
[00:45] <ish_nitti> szx0, do you have any 3rd party repos added?
[00:45] <rumbleca> is there some trick for getting wpa to work with ubuntu?
[00:45] <rumbleca> the network manager doesn't seem to work
[00:45] <poni> So I got quite a problem... I updated the system and it required a restart, and after starting again, I was in Low Graphics Mode (!!), I had to configure the xserver, and if I set it to use nvidia driver, it would go "Out of Range!" on my screen and then completely black, so I have to use vesa, or nv which I use currently. Problem is these dont bring me any Direct Rendering, and I'd like to use the nvidia drivers... I've tried uninstalling in
[00:45] <poni> stalling them, and reinstalling, and complete removal + install as well. I've also tried nvidia-xconfig, but that doesn't solve anything. If I do sudo nvidia-xconfig it sets it to use nvidia, but next time I start I will have to go in Recovery Kernel and fix the xserver from there, since otherwise it'll be completely black... Any ideas and help on this is appreciated :)'
[00:45] <Flannel> jerrcs: Sure, assuming you've got the space to duplicate your data (while copying over), or at least like 60% overhead
[00:45] <cpro> rufl
[00:45] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, not really :)
[00:45] <szx0> ish_nitti, nah.... ZoneMinder is part of the defaults
[00:46] <jerrcs> Flannel: i've got a ~200gb hdd and using about 90gb of it
[00:46] <ron459> stu- no dhcpoffers received - no working leased in persistent database - sleeping
[00:46] <rumbleca> ish_nitti: I'm getting a realy weird ip back, any idea what that's about?
[00:46] <ish_nitti> szx0, im aware of this but im starting to think a 3rd party repo may be giving you the bad path
[00:46] <blumm> encrypt ubuntu after installation - possible?
[00:46] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, are you connected to the correct wifi router?
[00:46] <cpro> i
[00:46] <Flannel> jerrcs: Ah, no problem then.  Yeah, just shrink the Gentoo one, install Ubuntu, then copy stuff over and remove the gentoo one.  Its as easy as it sounds
[00:46] <Abd67> hi all. For some days now, the update manager is giving a msg saying " A problem occourred when cheking for updates" What can I do to correct this?
[00:46] <ish_nitti> blumm, via truecrypt?
[00:46] <somedude> is ubuntu better than debian
[00:46] <Stu> ron459: have you tried configuring it from the network manager?
[00:46] <redwyrm> hi. I'm trying to install the DOM inspector for Firefox 3.0b5. It shows up as installed in Synaptic, but I don't see it in any menu in Firefox, nor is it listed as installed in the Add-Ins window.  I tried to install it via the Add-Ins window, but I got an error saying that it was incompatible. I found nothing about this error using Google. Please help! :(
[00:46] <ish_nitti> somedude, ubuntu IS debain
[00:46] <rumbleca> ish_nitti yes
[00:47] <ish_nitti> somedude, just a flavor of it :)
[00:47] <Stu> somedude: as a desktop yes... as a server who knows
[00:47] <szx0> ish_nitti, hmm.. well I didn't add anything so can't be that
[00:47] <jerrcs> Flannel: do I have to get my ISP to do all of this on a livecd? or can i do some of it while in the OS(gen)?
[00:47] <blumm> ish-nitti, truecrypt can do it?
[00:47] <ron459> stu - tried every avail option in network manager
[00:47] <ish_nitti> szx0, which package is it failing on? seems to be installing for me so far
[00:47] <poni> anyone?
[00:47] <Stu> ron459: is the interface set to roaming mode ?
[00:47] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, does the ip start with 169?
[00:47] <Flannel> jerrcs: Your ISP?
[00:47] <rumbleca> ish_nitti: yes
[00:47] <ron459> stu - that was the default setting on first install - didnt work
[00:47] <rumbleca> 169.254
[00:48] <jerrcs> Flannel: sorry, my ISP being the people who host my server :)
[00:48] <ish_nitti> blumm, i use truecrypt for my encryption, but i dont encrypt ALL of ubuntu, just a folder of private stuff
[00:48] <alado2> why is firefox so much slower on my ubuntu than on my xp, anybody know the reason for that or have had the same problem?
[00:48] <jerrcs> it's in cali, and i'm in maryland :P
[00:48] <ish_nitti> blumm, not even sure if that can be done
[00:48] <Stu> ron459: set it back to roaming mode, unplug the cable.... wait a bit, plug it back in and try dhclient again
[00:48] <ron459> stu - k
[00:48] <Abd67> could this because of broken down update?
[00:48] <rumbleca> ish_nitti: how did you know? what does that mean :)
[00:48] <hexoroid> alado2 my firefox is slow too heh dunno why
[00:48] <eTranquility> Hi, can someone help me with a sound problem? There is no audio on my laptop and if I hit "test" under sound preferences I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". How do I fix this?
[00:48] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, that means DHCP failed to give you an IP
[00:48] <hexoroid> lots of apps are slower heh
[00:49] <alado2> hexoroid: yes very strange
[00:49] <blumm> ish_nitti, i wonder if its possible to encrypt the system partition (just like in windows) with truecrypt
[00:49] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, by defualt it will give you a 169.*.*.* ip address. that way when DHCP server crashes, all clients on the network can still communicate
[00:49] <szx0> ish_nitti, Starting ZoneMinder: DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Unknown database 'zm' at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 89
[00:49] <rumbleca> ah, I see
[00:49] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, check your DHCP settings on you wireless router, or assign a static ip by editing /etc/network/interfaces
[00:49] <Flannel> jerrcs: oh.  I see.  Well, you have to have the partition unmounted to resize it.  But, in theory, most could probably be done remotely.  I'll give you a link (well, ubottu will), with a bunch of ways to install, some of them through a network connection, and some of them with an existing install, etc (installing Ubuntu through gentoo, etc).  You might be able to gleam some stuff off of it.
[00:49] <Flannel> !install | jerrcs
[00:50] <szx0> ish_nitti, doesn't seem to have setup mysql for me correctly
[00:50] <ish_nitti> blumm, its great for single folders. used it on windows, use it even more on linux :)
[00:50] <ron459> stu - it was already set to roaming - unglugged the cable anyway
[00:50] <hexoroid> alado i finally went to vista then after that prob
[00:50] <hexoroid> i just run ubutnu in console :-)
[00:50] <Stu> how do I get write access to a fat32 mount ??
[00:50] <hexoroid> as a server
[00:50] <ish_nitti> szx0, lol you said you were getting an error from sudo apt-get install, not from running the app itself
[00:50] <ish_nitti> szx0, thats a whole diff story then
[00:50] <blumm> ish_nitti: i know, but i want to encrypt my ubuntu without having to reinstall it...
[00:50] <rumbleca> ish_nitti: ah ok, well thanks. I'm not sure why that would be
[00:50] <ish_nitti> blumm, i have no idea, ask around or google it
[00:50] <rumbleca> bt thanks
[00:50] <ron459> stu - nothing working
[00:50] <ish_nitti> rumbleca, np
[00:50] <blumm> yep
[00:51] <ron459> stu - i dont get it
[00:51] <Stu> ron459: dhclient still tells you no dhcp offers ?
[00:51] <navk2005> how well does ubuntu work with dual core processors?
[00:51] <ish_nitti> navk2005, very well. run it @ work :)
[00:51] <alan_m> navk2005, pretty good
[00:51] <rumbleca> maybe ron459 and I have the same problem
[00:51] <alan_m> navk2005, my pc is dual core :)
[00:52] <ish_nitti> szx0, give me a sec
[00:52] <ron459> rumble, whats ur prob?
[00:52] <jerrcs> Flannel: ty so much.. this sounds fun :P
[00:52] <Abd67> hi all. For some days now, the update manager is giving a msg saying " A problem occourred when cheking for updates". Can't run the update manager. Only from console. Can this because of a broken down update
[00:52] <ish_nitti> szx0, ok did you sudo apt-get install it or did you compile it from source?
[00:52] <navk2005> is core management very good? my dual core laptop shipped and i think ubuntu is the most stable operating system on the planet.
[00:52] <ish_nitti> szx0, when i apt-get it, it installs mysql for me
[00:52] <rumbleca> ron459: trying to use the network assistant to connect to my wireless network
[00:52] <ron459> stu-no offers recieved
[00:53] <ron459> rumble-i am trying a wired connection
[00:53] <rumbleca> oh
[00:53] <peternix> Would be nice if ubuntu could differentiate between IA64 and AMD64
[00:54] <Nitricacid> How do i make a user list for my FTP? is there a GUI FTP server?
[00:54] <peternix> OS Architecture keeps reporting AMD64, even though my processor is IA65
[00:54] <peternix> *64
[00:54] <ron459> stu - if this doesnt work it means i need to spend $$$ on an OS, I dont want to do that :-(
[00:54] <Flannel> jerrcs: If you're planning on playing more, what I'd do is get them to install a tiny tiny OS that consists more or less only of a partitioner (and a way to boot to it, and ssh, obviously) and then you can use that to do your shrinking/expanding/etc in the future.
[00:54] <Abd67> peternix maybe in next version
[00:54] <peternix> Cool
[00:54] <jerrcs> Flannel: well, is there anyway to resize my stuff within gentoo?
[00:54] <rumbleca> peternix: you have ia64? I don't think so
[00:54] <Lynet> peternix: You have an Itanium?
[00:54] <Stu> ron459: reboot ?
[00:55] <Monica_2> how do i uninstall a splash screen?
[00:55] <ron459> stu-5 times
[00:55] <kitche> peternix: Intel x86_64 chipsets are the same as amd64 ia64 is ithanium and that's really pure 64bit
[00:55] <Nitricacid> On Hardy heron, using vsftpd how do i make a user / password list?
[00:55] <Stu> ron459: sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
[00:55] <Ashfire908> Monica_2, you could remove the splash option from the boot options, though then the end startup lines have an extra space in them.
[00:55] <Flannel> jerrcs: I don't believe you can resize a mounted partition, but there may be some really odd esoteric method.
[00:56] <Stu> ron459: is there anythign in there about eth0 ?
[00:56] <jerrcs> Flannel: I was hoping I could all of this without bugging the server provider :P
[00:56] <jerrcs> if not, I can bug em, but it would be fun to try
[00:56] <Monica_2> ashfire, i just need it gone
[00:56] <senyox> j/ #linuxac
[00:56] <kitche> Nitricacid: there is many howtos on how to make virtual users and passwords for that actually
[00:56] <cylux> Hey guys, I am running java applications I have by doing 'java appname', but it doesn't open. On a windows box, the application works perfectly.
[00:56] <Stu> anyone know how to get a fat32 partiion mounted as RW I cant get write access regardless of what UID or whatever I use
[00:56] <ron459> stu-what am i looking for?
[00:56] <Ashfire908> Monica_2, what are you on? (ubuntu, kubuntu)
[00:56] <Stu> ron459: a mention of eth0 ?
[00:56] <usser> cylux, well what does it say?
[00:56] <ron459> stu - nothing about eth0
[00:57] <Monica_2> ubuntu
[00:57] <cylux> usser: Nothing, just goes to next line of prompt
[00:57] <rumbleca> ubuntu doesn't even exist for ia64
[00:57] <cylux> usser: It compiles perfectly and everything.
[00:57] <rumbleca> according to the website
[00:57] <Nitricacid> kitche: theres no like sudo vsftpd make user command? the ubuntu help page is entirely unhelpful
[00:57] <Nitricacid> kitche: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[00:57] <zerg> any one use compiz fusion?
[00:57] <usser> cylux, hm... weird
[00:57] <cylux> Very
[00:57] <navk2005> compiz fusion or any type of 3d acceleration makes my computer freeze
[00:57] <kitche> Nitricacid: nope by default I believe it uses system users
[00:57] <Rat409> cylux: java -jar name.jar
[00:57] <cylux> Rat409: Huh?
[00:57] <SeaPhor> Monica_2, look here and see if this is same prob, if so resolution is there   http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=36
[00:57] <Nitricacid> kitche: it mentions a croone list but i cant even find that file

[00:58] <tico> how do i know grub is installed in the mbr?
[00:58] <Monica_2> seaphor, ok, brb
[00:58] <zerg> navk2005: how did you install it? is there a apt-get install for it?
[00:58] <Origin415> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with vlc, mplayer, and xine: none of them output any sound, even though totem is working perfectly. I have them configured to use pulseaudio...
[00:58] <cylux> Rat409: Wtf is .jar ?
[00:58] <Stu> ron459: you could try adding (press the i button to enter insert mode) auto eth0 and then on the next line iface eth0 inet dhcp
[00:58] <Rat409> cylux: java archive
[00:58] <Stu> when done press escape, colon, wq and press enter to save the file
[00:58] <ron459> stu - can u pm?
[00:59] <cylux> Rat409: I don't have one. Just a .java and .class
[00:59] <Stu> ron459: I actually have to do, try those last two things I said and then reboot
[00:59] <kitche> cylux: a jar file it's a java archieve file kinda like a exe sorta
[00:59] <Stu> do = go
[00:59] <Rat409> cylux: dunno then
[00:59] <Ashfire908> Monica_2, uninstall usplash-theme-ubuntu (or usplash, which will remove usplash competely). Doing either of these will uninstall the meta package ubuntu-desktop though (That doesn't effect anything really though, to my knoledge.)
[00:59] <ron459> stu - not sure how to do those things
[00:59] <cylux> Rat409: Does it matter that it's a swing applet?
[00:59] <ron459> i need a little more detail please
[00:59] <usser> cylux, remember that linux is case sensitive so make sure u tyoe it right
[00:59] <Stu> ron a lot of people in here can help you with vim
[01:00] <Monica_2> ashfire908, ok, then reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[01:00] <Killthrill> hello all
[01:00] <cylux> usser: If I typed it wrong, bash would complain. Not helpful.
[01:00] <Stu> just enter on two seperate lines auto eth0 and then on the next line iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:00] <Ashfire908> Monica_2, no. you can't.
[01:00] <Stu> ron459:  ^
[01:00] <Stu> reboot
[01:00] <usser> cylux, yea u right
[01:00] <navk2005> zerg: just search "compiz fusion" on synaptic package manager

[01:00] <zerg> thxs navk2005
[01:00] <Nitricacid> kitche: do you have a website that i can look at, nothing is behing helpful on google
[01:00] <SeaPhor> Monica_2, so vga=771 with rmoving quiet and splash didn't help?
[01:00] <Ashfire908> Monica_2, ubuntu-desktop depends on the usplash and the theme. ubuntu-desktop is a metapackge though, and it's not actually required for anything
[01:01] <ron459> thanx stu!
[01:01] <tyler`> how would i remove a package AND ALL of its dependencies with aptitude/apt-get?

[01:19] <m_ad> rouslan no problem, just wondering what to format/what not to. I have /dev/sda1 fat16, /dev/sda2 fat32, /dev/sda3 ext3, /dev/sda4 swap
[01:19] <rouslan> Abd67: could be a bug in the update icon. maybe will disappear after relogin?
[01:20] <m_ad> and I can't identify which of those is /home
[01:20] <alan_m> !gr | stams23
[01:20] <ron459> origin - any more ideas?
[01:20] <rouslan> m_ad: do you plan to keep any data? like home directory?
[01:20] <allieal23> When I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or any other F-key) nothing happens.  How can I fix this?
[01:20] <alan_m> well...sorry..thought it had instructions on how to join.
[01:20] <cylux> Hey guys. I am trying to use a java application. I compile it with javac, no problems or errors. I run the application with 'java appname' but the prompt just goes to the next line and the application doesn't open. I run the EXACT same thing on a Windows box and it works. Any ideas?
[01:20] <Origin415> ron459: try putting this in your /etc/network/interfaces:
[01:20] <m_ad> rouslan no, I want a clean install
[01:20] <Origin415> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:21] <Abd67> rouslan it's strange, because I can't even start Software Sources or anything regarding updates
[01:21] <Origin415> and sudo ifup eth0 again
[01:21] <rouslan> m_ad: then go back and click on 'guided install - use the whole disk' or something rather (WARNING - IT WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA) sorry for caps. but it's important
[01:21] <allieal23> Or at least... how can I administer the system when I'm logged into a non-sudoer user?  I am the administrator and I have that password.
[01:21] <m_ad> rouslan ok, I was going off of help.ubuntu.com, they said to use
[01:22] <m_ad> "manual" in the partition manager
[01:22] <rouslan> Abd67: does 'Software Sources'  staring from console print any messages? that could be a hint
[01:22] <ron459> origin-not letting me do etc/netowrk/interfaces: no such file or directory
[01:22] <cylux> Hey guys. I am trying to use a java application. I compile it with javac, no problems or errors. I run the application with 'java appname' but the prompt just goes to the next line and the application doesn't open. I run the EXACT same thing on a Windows box and it works. Any ideas?
[01:22] <Abd67> rouslan sorry but how do i do that?
[01:23] <Chapai> is there a channel for aircrack-ng/aireplay-ng pernetration test
[01:23] <Origin415> ron459: /etc/network/interfaces
[01:23] <bazhang> Chapai, nay
[01:23] <Origin415> ron459: I sure hope it exits :O
[01:23] <Chapai> :(
[01:23] <Origin415> exists*

[01:24] <Origin415> sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[01:24] <rouslan> Abd67: you may need sudo
[01:25] <m_ad> rouslan so you recommend "guided" instead of "manual" in partition manager?
[01:25] <m_ad> er, "guided - use entire disk"
[01:25] <ron459> origin-did it-got a new screen-gedit
[01:25] <Abd67> rouslan ok
[01:25] <rouslan> m_ad: right, it kindly erases all your data and performs a 'clean' install
[01:25] <ron459> origin"auto lo iface lo inet loopback"
[01:26] <m_ad> rouslan ok, thank you
[01:26] <xenos_> What in the world:
[01:26] <xenos_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/)
[01:26] <Ashfire908> I've been doing backups by mounting a nfs share on another system and tarring and bzipping my entire system and tarring to a file on the nfs share. I assume there's a better way than this?
[01:26] <xenos_> how do i release this process?
[01:27] <ordinareez> @xenos please do it as root
[01:27] <Origin415> ron459: didnt we start this with putting auto eth0 in there? :/
[01:27] <Killthrill> grub> root(hd0,0); setup(hd0) gives error bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[01:27] <Killthrill> Did I type something wrong there?
[01:27] <allieal23> When I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or any other F-key) nothing happens.  How can I fix this?
[01:27] <Abd67> rouslan nothing happens
[01:27] <dassouki> how do i know what sound device is my system is using as default
[01:27] <Origin415> ron459: regardless put in "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[01:28] <ron459> origin - where?
[01:28] <Origin415> on the next line
[01:28] <ron459> after loop back?
[01:28] <Origin415> yeah
[01:28] <rouslan> Killthrill: i apologize for my shorthard. start grub by running `grub`. you will see the "grub>" prompt. then type "root(hd0,0)", if that is fine, then your boot partition is on sda1. then go ahead and type "setup(hd0)". if that is fine, your MBR is fixed. type Ctrl-D. you're done
[01:28] <SeaPhor> ok, /media/disk
[01:28] <cypha> how can i mount my windows ntfs drive in a way that i can see the contents of everything (including my documents and the windows folder) ???
[01:29] <remu> hey guys, question, i just installed mplayer, and in the video output, i have three choices, x11, xv, and opengl, i went to mplayer to get some information about these options, but none of them really explained a performance difference, could someone shed some light on the issue for me, and let me know what the real difference between the three output settings is?
[01:29] <xanadoid> how do I create desktop shortcuts to jar programs in gnome?
[01:29] <Killthrill> ahh. ok. now i understand

[01:32] <ron459> origin-none received, but i got a new response at the end - etc/resolv.conf: no such file or directory
[01:32] <Ashfire908> Could someone recommend a system for backing up my systems? (CLI is prefered, since i'm backing up mainly a few gui-less systems)

[01:34] <cypha> hardy mounts the ntfs partition automatically, but i can't see the contents of my documents

[01:36] <alastair1> How can I run an x session just for a single application, e.g. mplayer? I'm running a server and so I don't need the whole desktop environment, but I've forgotten the magic incantation to run an x session just for the duration of one application.
[01:36] <Starnestommy> pen: netstat -al

[01:39] <[TiZ]> Not sure, pen. How can I find out?

[01:39] <Starnestommy> pen: I don't use bittorrent
[01:39] <cypha> it's like all the protected folders from vista are shown as empty
[01:39] <saint-takeshi> cypha: vista might lock those files, or hide them in some way....xp used to write-protect itsself, back int he SP1 days,,,
[01:39] <cypha> LOWER_CASE, i use skype, it's fine

[01:40] <Pey> I'll come back later, eh?
[01:40] <harpreet> cypha: you can try seeing your files by logging back into vista and share that folder
[01:40] <[TiZ]> pen, How can I find out if UTF-8's being used?
[01:41] <Abd67> rouslan thanks anyway. Gotta sleep. My kids wake up damn early in weekends

[01:42] <sober> anyone into gaming?
[01:42] <pen> [TiZ], before you check that, go to system|administration|language, check to see if Japanese is checked
[01:42] <harpreet> cypha: NTFS is not supported by ubuntu I believe, if you want to access  your files free some space by going into vista, computer management and free some space under disk management and make if fat file system, copy your files on that and access them, got it?
[01:42] <bazhang> !games | sober
[01:42] <LOWER_CASE> cypha, thanks.
[01:42] <saint-takeshi> sober: i would be, if i could get them to work
[01:43] <saint-takeshi> not used to using non-ATI graphics cards
[01:43] <bazhang> harpreet, that is not correct
[01:43] <[TiZ]> pen, Japanese is installed.
[01:43] <Origin415> ron459: so ifup is running, it just isn't getting an ip address?
[01:43] <ron459> origin - i guess

[01:46] <poundsign> hi i'm dropping in a new hard disk on my ubuntu box, do i want a primary or secondary partition?
[01:46] <shane2peru> poundsign, primary
[01:46] <Origin415> ron459: at this point, as far as I can tell its something with the router/network
[01:46] <[TiZ]> Ah, I see why you sent me there, pen. It does indeed work.
[01:46] <poundsign> And any opinions as to file system type?
[01:46] <poundsign> thanks shane2peru

[01:48] <Lalo2> Hi! I have a problem with my firefox... with flash?? is it common? how can I fix it??
[01:49] <shane2peru> Lalo2, are you running 64bit?
[01:49] <[TiZ]> pen, the Japanese on google.co.jp does work.
[01:49] <Origin415> Lalo2: Is firefox crashing when you play a flash movie?
[01:49] <Chapai> its common Lalo2
[01:50] <Abd67> Origin415 Lalo2 yes it has happened to me some times
[01:50] <Lalo2> it only plays youtube, and embedded media jus doesen't play...
[01:50] <pen> [TiZ], then you have the file that has different encoding
[01:50] <pen> [TiZ], there are two cli programs in repo for you to change the encoding
[01:50] <pen> [TiZ], first one is recode
[01:50] <saint-takeshi> anyone experienced with DRIconf and/or the Intel 965GM (X3100) onboard graphics chip?
[01:50] <Lalo2> doesen't crush...
[01:50] <pen> [TiZ], and I personally found that very easy and useful
[01:51] <Kage_Jittai> I have a idea for a new ubuntu distro!
[01:51] <HairyDude> aha http://tinyurl.com/6kxjbo
[01:51] <pen> [TiZ], it can convert the encoding of the file[s] to anything you want
[01:51] <[TiZ]> pen, but what about Windows's access to the file? Will it mess that up?
[01:51] <norbert_> 1287 people in one channel... that's a lot
[01:51] <[TiZ]> files, actually. I have a lot of Japanese music
[01:51] <Kage_Jittai> glrbuntu! (or something)
[01:51] <pen> [TiZ], will, I think so, so you better make a backup or try to find a text editor which can view different encoding
[01:51] <ubuntu> somebody form spain?

[02:00] <cdm10> Is Realtek audio/networking well-supported in Linux?
[02:00] <Nevermind> hi guys. any1 knows some fan controlling program? (like Speedfan in windows...)
[02:01] <xenos_> so apparently ubuntu has to be upgraded one at a time 6>6.10>7>8?
[02:01] <Dena> Hello
[02:01] <cdm10> xenos_: 6.06 can be directly upgraded to 8.04
[02:01] <ordinareez> @lalo2: please check on firefox (tools->add-ons) to check are your plugins are enabled
[02:01] <tritium> xenos_: as cdm10 says, LTS -> LTS upgrades are possible
[02:01] <cdm10> xenos_: but besides that, it has to go one at a time... so 6.10 --> 7.04 --> 7.10 --> 8.04

[02:03] <LOWER_CASE> tech0007 - same thing happened to me when upgrading to Gutsy. In Gutsy, the disk discovery changed to UUID, therefore affecting mount points.  The only suggestions I was given was "*INSTALL* Gutsy, don't *UPGRADE* to Gutsy."  I still haven't fixed it yet, but will probably just install 8.x at some time. HTH.
[02:03] <thingfish> ubuntu: what I mean is, I don't think you can get updates without access to the internet.

[02:07] <anonymous__> alextvm :  Doing this allows grub to discover your drives.

[02:08] <cognatus> so i'm reinstalling grub according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:08] <nhamilton> hello all
[02:08] <britt_> xenos_: wow. you were behind!
[02:08] <cdm10> xenos_: if you've done that, then you'll have to go release-by-release to 8.04 :(
[02:08] <anonymous__> alextvm :  hope that helps
[02:08] <cognatus> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14421/
[02:09] <thingfish> hmm I guess the trick with pinot noirs is that you have to spend more than $12
[02:09] <Ward1983> cdm10, ok thanx, well i followed page 75 of their manual, someone from #ubuntu-nl advised me to do that
[02:09] <cognatus> am i right in guewssing my next command is "setup (hd2)"?
[02:09] <cdm10> Ward1983: what's your question?

[02:09] <Ward1983> and i REALLY need internet, all of my schoolwork is on there
[02:09] <wuver> so how did u get here
[02:09] <cognatus> anonymous__, care to take a look for me please? =D
[02:09] <Ward1983> cdm10, no prob maybe someone else :)
[02:10] <Ward1983> the problem is the guy who told me to do that left
[02:10] <anonymous__> cognatus: sure
[02:10] <cdm10> Ward1983: can you send me a link to the manual you read? We might be able to try to reverse what you did...
[02:10] <thingfish> ubuntu: forget about using a Debian cd collection.  Ubuntu is not Debian.
[02:10] <nhamilton> I've got a really annoying problem, and can't seem to find any solutions on the web. I'm using Pidgen in Hardy, and I'm getting dropped messages.

Anyone got any ideas to point me in the right direction to fixing this?
[02:10] <cognatus> anonymous__, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14421/
[02:10] <cdm10> nhamilton: what protocols are you using?
[02:10] <cdm10> nhamilton: and, which fail?
[02:10] <Ward1983> cdm10, that link would be on the desktop, can give it to you in a bit, im outside with my laptop atm
[02:10] <ubuntu> all i want is download the repositories DVD but i don't know where i can
[02:10] <Ward1983> for a needed smoke
[02:11] <nhamilton> MSN, over the http method
[02:11] <cdm10> oh, it's a PDF? Where can I download that manual?
[02:11] <tritium> ubuntu: cdimage.ubuntu.com
[02:11] <anonymous__> cognatus: so at what point are you currently at?
[02:11] <Ward1983> cdm10, im googling to see if i can find it now
[02:11] <thingfish> ubuntu: I'm not sure it's clear what you're wanting to do.  Are you wanting to upgrade a system to 8.04, but don't have an internet connection?  Or are you wanting to get security updates/bug fixes for your current version?
[02:11] <cognatus> anonymous__, i'm about to type "setup (hd2)" [because find/boot/grub/stage1 returned (hd2,2) and not hd0
[02:12] <Ward1983> cdm10, http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.6.0/UserManual.pdf
[02:12] <anonymous__> cognatus: I think you may have specified the wrong drive
[02:12] <cognatus> anonymous__, how can i check what drive i'm supposed to have specified?
[02:12] <marshall> hey everyone
[02:12] <anonymous__> cognatus: instead type setup (hd0)
[02:12] <cdm10> Ward1983: ugh, sorry, I'm totally out of my depth here... Linux networking is not something I'm familiar with.
[02:13] <cognatus> anonymous__, ok it's done
[02:13] <ubuntu> i have installed ubuntu 7.10, but i dont have an internet conection, i want to know e.g. how can i to install codecs for play mp3 sons?
[02:13] <cdm10> ubuntu: You can download packages from packages.ubuntu.com
[02:13] <anonymous__> cognatus: follow the next steps replacing any 2 you see with a 0
[02:13] <cognatus> anonymous__, so root (hd2,2) & setup (hd0) are a normal combination for ppl with multiple drives?
[02:14] <marshall> im trying to run photoshop CS3 in wine and it keeps hanging at the lisence agreement after the program starts. terminal output complains about mshtml. how do i fix this?
[02:14] <jrib> !appdb | marshall
[02:14] <jrib> marshall: have you checked there for a guide?
[02:14] <marshall> jrib, yes
[02:14] <thingfish> cdm10: that'd be kind of tricky, what with dependencies etc.
[02:14] <cdm10> thingfish: true
[02:14] <cdm10> ubuntu: check out apt-cacher
[02:14] <jrib> marshall: might want to try #winehq
[02:14] <anonymous__> cognatus: no, when people setup multiple drives...each drive is numbered starting with the first being hd0
[02:15] <cdm10> ubuntu: I think it lets you download packages on one machine, fulfilling all dependencies, then copy them to a drive or CD or something to move to another machine.
[02:15] <cognatus> anonymous__, thing is i have no hd_ detected by gparted... all sd_
[02:15] <cdm10> ubuntu: I may be thinking of apt-proxy or apt-mirror though
[02:15] <Ward1983> cdm10, no prob at least you looked :à
[02:15] <Ward1983> :° i mean
[02:15] <anonymous__> cognatus: so if you are using one hard drive which I'm assuming, then it would be called hd0,0
[02:15] <illa> hello
[02:15] <Ward1983> :) i mean
[02:15] <cognatus> no anonymous__, i have 3 HDs
[02:16] <anonymous__> cognatus: I see
[02:16] <cognatus> ...... any way to back out of a sudo grub without making any changes?
[02:16] <anonymous__> cognatus: you are trying to boot the primary hd right?
[02:16] <zcat[1]> (hd0) will be referring to the primary master where grub will want to write it's MBR. (hd2,2) would be referring to a partition on secondary master which is where your root filesystem is .. I thikn :)
[02:16] <cognatus> yes anonymous__
[02:16] <Chapai> the alias for my usb card changes almost everytime i connect from wlan1 and wlan0 i have to keep changing the interface in scripts, can i force it to remain
[02:16] <cognatus> there are no PATA drives
[02:16] <Ward1983> someone familiar with virtual box networking? i kindof screwed up my networking and am unable to fix it, yet i need internet access on my desktop, pretty urgent (my school stuff is on there)
[02:17] <cognatus> there's one SATA drive and one PCI-RAID-card-with-two-SATAs-attached

[02:17] <nflava> can anyone poinnt me to a website that has good walk throughs on installing packages in ubuntu
[02:17] <nflava> besides stuff i can get through apt-get

[02:17] <Starnestommy> Ward1983: does running sudo rmmod vboxdrv fix it?
[02:18] <illa> Problem, Ubuntu 8.0.4, trying to mount a ntfs hard drive on boot, once im booted, i see it listed under places, if click on it there it mounts, im guessing my syntax is wrong, in fstab I have (minus the #) #UUID=7E66AF1266AECA6B /media/TELE ntfs-3g defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
[02:18] <zcat[1]> I never quite figured out how the drive numbers get assigned with SATA ... It's majorly confusing
[02:18] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, will try that immediatly after my smoke i cant access the desktop at the moment
[02:18] <cognatus> !sorry | tritium
[02:18] <Origin415> ok, I got mplayer working: it was outputting to the wrong sound card. Now it only shows 2 audio channels, this video has 6 channels
[02:18] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, qllthough i can tell you i can still access my route from it, but i cannot seem to get passed it
[02:18] <anonymous__> cognatus: ok, then in that tutorial you found, you should replace all (hd2) in the code with (hd0) and all (hd2,2) with (hd0,0)with
[02:18] <tritium> cognatus: :)
[02:19] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, also my interface got another ip all of a sudden for some sick reason
[02:19] <anonymous__> cognatus: that should fix your problem reguardless of the fact that you use sata
[02:19] <Ward1983> should that tell you more
[02:19] <cognatus> anonymous__, here goes nothing... [pushes the big red button]
[02:19] <anonymous__> cognatus: good luck :)

[02:21] <Chapai> illa, are you sure the uuid is correct
[02:21] <d34Th1> can anybody here help me with server?
[02:21] <Starnestommy> Vedalken: you could use ssh, although it's command-line oriented
[02:21] <Origin415> but I'd rather have it automatically through the gui
[02:21] <jrib> Vedalken: sure, use ssh for example
[02:21] <Ward1983> Vedalken, VNC is standard is ubuntu, but you allready knew that i think
[02:21] <jrib> !ask | d34Th1
[02:21] <illa> thanks chapai
[02:21] <eboyjr> How do I refresh the .bashrc thingy in a terminal?
[02:21] <illa> let me reboot and give it a try
[02:22] <jrib> eboyjr: source ~/.bashrc
[02:22] <Vedalken> Ward1983: so essentially VNC is built-in to Ubuntu?
[02:22] <eboyjr> thanks
[02:22] <d34Th1> Umm... I Cant Install The Server
[02:22] <Ward1983> Vedalken, yes if you enable remore desktop you enable a vnc server
[02:22] <jrib> d34Th1: you need to provide more details so the channel can help you
[02:22] <Vedalken> Ward1983: but what about for the client? would i have to install another program?
[02:23] <d34Th1> It Says It Cannot read The Files From The Cd-rom You Know After The Keyboard check
[02:23] <Ward1983> Vedalken, system -> preferences -> remore desktop
[02:23] <DaveKong> I have a wired connection and it is not working how do I troubleshoot it?
[02:23] <Ward1983> Vedalken, i think you would need to apt-get vncviewer for thqt im not sure
[02:23] <anonymous__> d34Th1: possibly a bad cd-rom?
[02:23] <DaveKong> ehternet connection
[02:23] <cypha> i can't open a bunch of programs like the terminal, firefox, gedit....but i can open xchat, skype
[02:23] <cypha> any ideas?
[02:23] <tech0007> I'm currently on hardy and up to date. My usb devices (like PSP and mp4 player) do not automatically mount anymore. I didn't change anything except update the box regularly thru apt-get. The PSP and mp4 player are detected (when I run dmesg or lsusb), but I have to run mount in the terminal to use them. Any ideas?
[02:23] <tritium> Ward1983: vinagre is installed by default on hardy
[02:23] <jrib> d34Th1: did you check that the burn was ok by running the "verify the integrity of the cd" (or something similar) option when you boot from the cd?
[02:23] <d34Th1> checked its good it meets the md5
[02:24] <d34Th1> and verified
[02:24] <tritium> Ward1983: Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer
[02:24] <Ward1983> Vedalken, maybe theres one standard in ubuntu but im not sure, anyway, installing one is as simple as typing "sudo apt-get install vncviewer" in a terminal
[02:24] <d34Th1> its all good just cant readi t
[02:24] <Chapai> the alias for my usb card changes almost everytime i connect from wlan1 and wlan0 i have to keep changing the interface in scripts, can i force it to remain
[02:24] <Ward1983> Vedalken, read what tritium said, there is one standard in hardy :)
[02:25] <Ward1983> thanx tritium
[02:25] <tritium> Ward1983: no problem
[02:25] <anonymous__> d34Th1: what linux OS are you using?

[02:26] <d34Th1> the system im installing it on has no os
[02:26] <d34Th1> to talk to you im currently using windows vista
[02:26] <Ward1983> Vedalken, by the way sohuld you ever want to connect from a windows system (lets say at a friend or at work / school) you can also use a simple exe from less then a megabyte, i believe ts called vncviewer, its easy to find trough gogle, i used it a few times
[02:26] <zafo> I am using compiz and I need to know how to get different wallpapers on different desktops
[02:27] <reflexx> Hey.. uhm, I just installed Hardy, and, at first I had Hardware Drivers thingie, which found my nvidia drivers, but I decided to run the system update first, and so I did ... then it required a reboot, so I rebooted, and now I'm back in again, but now the Hardware Driver / RDM finds nothing, and I dont have the nvidia drivers, what should I do to get the nvidia drivers and start using them?
[02:27] <anonymous__> d34Th1: I'll try to think of a solution...hang on
[02:27] <d34Th1> thanks
[02:27] <anonymous__> cognatus: did it work?
[02:27] <reflexx> zafo: Wallpaper plugin, but you need t oinstall from git I believe, try going to #ubuntu-effects
[02:27] <dassouki> is there an app that can say the time just like the map app
[02:27] <zafo> ok
[02:27] <cognatus> anonymous__, IT's ALIVE!! well, not really. absolutely no effect.
[02:28] <cognatus> i do have the error messages now however
[02:28] <nflava> can anyone offer a little advice on install a .bin file, i did chmod +x file, then ./file.bin, now its asking for the instalation prefix (/usr/local)
[02:28] <nflava> can i just hit enter there and it will be ok?
[02:28] <anonymous__> cognatus: sorry
[02:28] <nflava> or do i need to still name the correct path?

[02:32] <Flannel> kushal_12_27_200: The Ubuntu stuff lives inside of windows, its basically one big file.
[02:32] <illa> oh really
[02:32] <illa> wow
[02:32] <zcat[1]> kushal_12_27_200: that space is just a big file under windows.. when you remove ubuntu you remove the big file too..
[02:32] <reflexx> Also: After updating Hardy, it no longer detects any sound card
[02:32] <tritium> nflava: gftp _does_ support sftp
[02:32] <kushal_12_27_200> awesome!
[02:32] <kushal_12_27_200> thanks guys
[02:33] <amenado> !nfo update-alternatives
[02:33] <amenado> !nfo alternatives
[02:33] <kushal_12_27_200> !info
[02:33] <nflava> do I need an addon for gftp to do ssl ?
[02:33] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, sudo rmmod vboxdrv did not fix it
[02:33] <zcat[1]> ?? !nfo? -- !info ?
[02:33] <tritium> nflava: as I said, no
[02:33] <kushal_12_27_200> !info update-alternatives
[02:34] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, i still have this annoying br0 interface
[02:34] <nflava> well im looking in there now
[02:34] <sensae> How can I fullscreen a dosbox window?
[02:34] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, (br0 shares its ip zith eth1 in my case)
[02:34] <nflava> i still cant connect to my ftp through gftp :9
[02:34] <tritium> kushal_12_27_200: update-alternatives is a command, not a package
[02:34] <nflava> auth-ssl
[02:34] <Ward1983> Starnestommy, any more suggestions?
[02:34] <zcat[1]> btw why do I have a wlan0 and a 'wmaster0' which appears to be the same interface but doesn't do anything?
[02:35] <d34Th1> anon that helps none atall
[02:35] <d34Th1> because
[02:35] <d34Th1> This Isnt On A Virtual Box Its On A Physical
[02:35] <anonymous__> cognatus:  it probably has something to do with either X or your graphic card
[02:35] <kushal_12_27_200> thanks, tritium. ubottu tried to say the same thing but it is clearer when you said it
[02:35] <anonymous__> d34Th1: I'm sorry that I can't find a fix
[02:36] <tritium> kushal_12_27_200: no problem.  Note that !info is only for package information.
[02:36] <d34Th1> the problem is i dont think the system is i386 its x86 or w/e
[02:36] <Ward1983> damn, can anyone else help me with my annoying networking situation?
[02:36] <cognatus> anonymous__, it all happened after i installed "StartUp-Manager"
[02:37] <kushal_12_27_200> If anyone here uses or has used a Toshiba Satellite M55-S135, could they tell me how 8.04 works with it?
[02:37] <anonymous__> cognatus: try resetting xserver to its original default settings by hitting ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:38] <gnomer> while in windoze you can't go full screen, reboot hit f8 and go to a command prompt...best thing I could think of.
[02:38] <gnomer> for dos that is
[02:39] <cccd> I'm getting an error when using apt-get to install anything. http://pastebin.com/m1d882e01 it looks to be related to "libjline-java"
[02:39] <woli> how can i fix the 'host down' error message while trying to connect to bluetooth device?
[02:41] <kushal_12_27_200> Wubi is now downloading the installation files. Please forgive my ignorance but I have another question. If I allocate 15 GB for Ubuntu under Windows, and if it is all one big file, how will Windows users with FAT32 use Wubi? (just curious, the toshiba satellite in question has ntfs)
[02:41] <Flannel> kushal_12_27_200: they dont.  It has to be NTFS
[02:41] <Ward1983> its hard to believe that theres nobody here with enough networkingknowledge to help me out, i REQLLY need my pC
[02:42] <kushal_12_27_200> thanks for the answer, flannel
[02:42] <Ward1983> its so frustrating since i allways try to help others, and when i really need it, nobody helps me
[02:42] <jon__>  I want to install hardy from a usb thumb drive.  I've downloaded the iso.  My thought was that I'd expand the iso to the thumb drive and then boot from the thumb drive.  Can I do that and is it as simple as expanding the ISO to the thumb drive and booting from the thumb drive?
[02:42] <adam7> Ward1983: what is your question?
[02:42] <zcat[1]> jon__: nope.. quite a lot harder
[02:43] <Ireclan> Could someone help me? I've run into a strange problem with Movie Player not playing audio less than 1 second when it's ogg vorbis. Anyone have any tips? I transcoded some MP3s to ogg; that's where the problem occurs.
[02:43] <zcat[1]> jon__: there's an iso-to-usb script around somewhere that does the hard work for you though.. might need to google for it
[02:44] <kushal_12_27_200> I don't mean to be picky, and please don't take it personally Ireclan, but transcoding from one lossy format to another is often not a very good idea.
[02:44] <Ward1983> adam7, i followed page 75 of the virtualbox manual and now i cant acess the internet anymore, it seems i cant get passed my router
[02:44] <adam7> Ward1983: Where is this Virtual Box manual?
[02:45] <jon__> zcat[1]: thanks, I'm checking for it now.
[02:45] <woli> can anybody help with bluetooth manager?
[02:46] <Ward1983> adam7,  http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.6.0/UserManual.pdf
[02:46] <katami> Hey guys I just installed ubuntu and it completely ignores the monitors on my docking station?
[02:46] <zcat[1]> jon__: http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh
[02:46] <Ward1983> adam7, after that someone here told me to try sudo rmmod vboxdrv, so i did that too
[02:46] <Ward1983> and then i restarted networking
[02:46] <Ward1983> didnt help
[02:47] <Ireclan> kushal_12_27_200: And yet I do it, because I am not picky about the quality loss. AAnd I want as much of my media as possible FOSS (and thus available as soon as possible on Ubuntu). But surely my problem has nothing to do with lossy transcoding? Audacity seems to play the audio just fine...
[02:47] <Ireclan> *And
[02:48] <kushal_12_27_200> ireclan, could it be a bug in Movie Player?
[02:50] <KinkyBlackGoat> yep so, how does one disable this auto accenting (pressing ' or " accenting the next character if possible) thing? it´s..¨annoying¨
[02:50] <shane2peru> anyone run a custom kernel???  is it hard to do?
[02:50] <Ireclan> kushal_12_27_200: That's what I'm thinking...But I don't report bugs. I don't feel like tracking them upstream.
[02:50] <KinkyBlackGoat> or sorry I lied, it does that with any given character that could be applied as an accent :D
[02:51] <shane2peru> I have installed gentoo several times successfully, so I have messed with kernels before, just don't know the ubuntu way of kernel building
[02:51] <Ward1983> adam7, any ideas?
[02:51] <adam7> Ward1983: page 73, you say?
[02:52] <bri-h> Plenty in the forums on kernel building for ubuntu
[02:52] <akk> shane2peru: I do, but I just get kernel.org kernels and compile them.
[02:52] <keram> how can i downgrade the kernel to the previous version?
[02:52] <Ward1983> adam7, page 75
[02:52] <adam7> Ward1983: sorry :)
[02:52] <shane2peru> akk, just found some doc's and was looking over them, I'm not sure about the compiling and using part. :)
[02:53] <Ward1983> adam7, lol no problem
[02:53] <akk> shane2peru: There are lots of tutorials around on compiling standard kernels, and a few (sometimes they skip steps) on compiling debian/ubuntu kernel packages.
[02:53] <adam7> Ward1983: do you need bridged networking? I never had to do anything like that when I setup VirtualBox
[02:53] <akk> shane2peru: I find it easier to do them the kernel.org way.
[02:53] <shane2peru> akk, do you notice a diff with the custom kernel?
[02:54] <shane2peru> akk, I'm checking this out:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile  I like Ubu-specific instructions. :)
[02:54] <akk> shane2peru: Well, in my case the difference on one machine is whether I can boot at all; on the other machine, no difference except that the custom kernel lets me sync my Treo.
[02:54] <Ward1983> adam7, well i would like it, i just want my virtual machine to get an ip of my router, just like the real machines in this huse
[02:54] <kushal_12_27_200> Ireclan, You mentioned audacity plays the OGG vorbis files under one second in length. Does Movie player play OGG vorbis files over one second?
[02:54] <Ward1983> any way
[02:54] <adam7> Ward1983: ok, that's fine, it's just a little trickier :P
[02:54] <adam7> !virtualbox | Ward1983
[02:54] <shane2peru> akk, I'm running a 64bit, and have heard it improves boot time, and running, cuts some bulk out.
[02:55] <Ward1983> adam7, page 75 is for ubuntu and debian in specific
[02:55] <akk> shane2peru: I played briefly with 64 but didn't see much difference ... but that was several releases back.
[02:55] <neil_d> I have become a member at the ubuntu forums, why can't I create a thread in the hardware & Laptops section ?
[02:55] <kushal_12_27_200> !free
[02:55] <tristil> Hi, the volume multimedia keys stopped working to change the master volume, and in fact when I press the multimedia keys it shows a full meter, but the master level can be something different. Pretty sure I broke a setting somewhere. This is on Hardy.
[02:55] <Ward1983> adam7, i just would like to get my networking back i dont even want to use virtualbox anymore
[02:55] <shane2peru> akk, I like the 64bit now, gutsy was my first try with it, seems to run nice.
[02:56] <Ireclan> kushal_12_27_200: Oh yeah. Just fine. Actually, I'm wondering if it isn't that Audacity appears to use OSS, while Movie Player uses ALSA.
[02:56] <adam7> Ward1983: haha ok
[02:56] <adam7> Ward1983: is this on a laptop or desktop?
[02:56] <shane2peru> akk, I'm more interested in compiling the kernel, 1.  for knowledge  2.  just to trim down and run a little quicker.
[02:57] <Veinor> I'm trying to view http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/super_robot_wars_alpha.txt, specifically the japanese text.
[02:57] <Veinor> But no matter what I do, what program I open it in, the text always comes out wrong.
[02:57] <Ward1983> adam7, a desktop, im typing from my laptop atm, but the desktop is right next to it
[02:57] <Ward1983> so i can type on it
[02:57] <adam7> Ward1983: ok -- does your network use dhcp then I take it?
[02:57] <Ward1983> adam7, correct
[02:57] <adam7> Ward1983: open a terminal on the desktop and type sudo dhclient
[02:57] <akk> shane2peru: Yeah, I like building kernels anyway just so I have the source handy and know how to do it
[02:57] <Ward1983> adam7, allready tried it has an ip
[02:58] <Veinor> I think it's in shift-JIS, but changing encoding to that doesn't help in firefox
[02:58] <Ward1983> adam7, i still have this annoying br0 interface maybe thats the problem
[02:58] <adam7> Ward1983: ok, run sudo route and !pastebin the output
[02:58] <shane2peru> akk, that is me, that is why I installed gentoo and slackware, just the upkeep was too much work for me. lol
[02:58] <Ward1983> adam7, pastebin zithout internet access?
[02:58] <akk> shane2peru: though for a few years I went back to using ubuntu kernels 'cause they had some really good acpi patches (but now they have other things broken)
[02:58] <Ward1983> lol
[02:58] <adam7> Ward1983: oops, sorry :D
[02:58] <Ward1983> adam7, lol no problem
[02:58] <tell> anyone get an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working in hardy?
[02:58] <eboyjr> lets say im installing a package and its downloading... i want to run a command without opening a new terminal or tab... is that possible?
[02:58] <Ward1983> adam7, ill see if i can spot unusual stuff there
[02:59] <shane2peru> akk, are there some good instructions on kernel.org?  I'm looking over the page now.
[02:59] <TiTy> Cual es el canal ubuntu español?
[02:59] <adam7> Ward1983: there should be a couple of lines  --- in the column that says gateway, what ips are there?
[02:59] <tell> eboyjr: you can Ctrl-Z it
[02:59] <tell> TiTy: #ubuntu-es
[02:59] <TiTy> thx
[02:59] <tell> de nada
[02:59] <eboyjr> de nada
[02:59] <eboyjr> :D
[02:59] <mynetdude> Hi all :)
[02:59] <eboyjr> !hi
[02:59] <osxdude|laptop> WHOA
[02:59] <osxdude|laptop> Sorry. lol
[02:59] <D3RGPS31> Software Question - How do I configure an Adesso Z12 Graphics Tablet that's being run off of Wacom drivers?
[03:00] <osxdude|laptop> I plugged in my extrenal monitor..
[03:00] <osxdude|laptop> and it showed up right away
[03:00] <tell> D3RGPS31: it uses the same drivers?
[03:00] <mynetdude> got a question about editing a server list file for xchat in andlinux, 1. how would I change directories and 2. what would I use to edit it 3. or can I locate /usr/bin/xhcat in windows?
[03:00] <poseidon> su doesn't seem to be working in the console.  It still requires me to use sudo to gain root access
[03:00] <Ward1983> adam7, it looks normal but it has both entries twice, one extra "copy" for br0
[03:00] <D3RGPS31> tell: they're the most compatible, so i guess
[03:00] <tritium> poseidon: the root account is disabled by default
[03:00] <cris> hello, i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please???
[03:01] <adam7> Ward1983: there should be a line that says default (probably at the bottom) -- what is in the gateway column for that line?
[03:01] <dmsuperman> How do I search through available packages in a commandline? I want to find a package (for instance, the Avant Window Manager package) with like partial-text searches
[03:01] <shazzam> hey people... i downloaded the live cd for fuin just to try it out...
[03:01] <tritium> dmsuperman: apt-cache search <foo>
[03:02] <shazzam> i have finals this week in college but somehow ill make time for it...
[03:02] <Ward1983> adam7, the gateway there is correct <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:02] <dmsuperman> tritium, thanks
[03:02] <shazzam> is there irc on ubuntu?
[03:02] <shazzam> or do i have to download it seperatlery?
[03:02] <Ward1983> adam7, but the line is there twile, once for eth1 and once for br0
[03:02] <adam7> Ward1983: ok -- what does ping <IP_ADDRESS> give you?
[03:02] <cris> shazzam: yes, here
[03:02] <shazzam> does it come with it?
[03:02] <mynetdude> shaazz if you mean an irc client?
[03:02] <shazzam> yup
[03:02] <jon__> zcat[1]: thanks for the link.  I've created the usb drive and I'm going to see if it boots.  Thanks again.
[03:02] <shazzam> im on mirc ritwe now
[03:02] <Ward1983> adam7, i can access the webinterface so yes that works :p
[03:02] <tritium> shazzam: you mean an IRC client?  Download one separately.
[03:02] <poseidon> tritium, how do I enable the root acount?
[03:02] <akk> shazzam: I'm pretty sure xchat has been preloaded in most ubuntus I've installed
[03:02] <mynetdude> shazzam yeah I think you can tell it apt-get install xchat
[03:02] <Ward1983> adam7, was the first thing i tried
[03:03] <cris> shazzam:  pidgin, xchat,....
[03:03] <tritium> poseidon: we don't recommend it, of course
[03:03] <tell> D3RGPS31: hm I'm not sure... could you try googling for the Wacom instructions (easy, except for the Bamboo Fun line) but I don't know if they really can run off the same drivers
[03:03] <cris> i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please???
[03:03] <tritium> !sudo | poseidon
[03:03] <mynetdude> does anybody know how I could edit the server list file for xhcat in andlinux?
[03:03] <cris> i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please???
[03:03] <tritium> cris: don't repeat
[03:03] <cris> sorry
[03:03] <shazzam> ive never used ubuntu before.... so when i go into the live cd... are there any cool things i should look at... that will make me say "wow!"
[03:03] <D3RGPS31> tell: wacom would have drivers for linux?!
[03:04] <tritium> shazzam: pidgin is the one client that is installed by default, although I would not recommend it for IRC
[03:04] <kushal_12_27_200> !apt-get
[03:04] <jc___> I have a program that everytime I close it it generates a crash report, although I can't find the report.  The program seems to end just fine, how can I exclude it from reporting a crash?
[03:04] <Ward1983> shazzam, maybe the ability of installing anything you like from synaptic :p
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> xchat gnome used to be on the base install.. while not the best IRC client, its better than pidgin
[03:04] <tell> D3RGPS31: yes Wacom works very well
[03:04] <shazzam> wats that beryl thingy? is it on it preloaded?
[03:04] <shazzam> i hear its cool
[03:04] <cris> jelp please!!!!
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> beryl doesn't exist anymore, its called compiz
[03:04] <cris> help
[03:04] <adam7> !compiz-fusion | shazzam
[03:04]  * mynetdude has seen the synaptic have no idea what it is
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> !compiz | shazzam
[03:05] <shazzam> !compiz
[03:05] <kushal_12_27_200> beryl was merged back to compiz
[03:05] <Ward1983> D3RGPS31, check for how to set it up for the software you intend to use though, you can set it up in a few different ways depending what you need
[03:05] <zcat[1]> basically it's already installed and working as soon as you enable 3d video drivers
[03:05] <tritium> !patience | cris
[03:05] <DragonLotus> every time I close my laptop lid and open it back up, the screen is all messy.  I reboot and it looks fine.  Any ideas why or how to redraw the screen without rebooting?
[03:05] <shazzam> ok .... so is it in thew packages the synaptic thingy or no?
[03:06] <kushal_12_27_200> shazzam, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz
[03:06] <Ward1983> D3RGPS31, for instance that the tablet is just the window youre drawing in, or the full screen, etc
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> DragonLotus: dont' close your laptop lid
[03:06] <Ward1983> D3RGPS31, but it indeed works great, i have one too
[03:06] <shazzam> i want to impress my friend.. me and him have nevr used ubuntu before... but im giving it a chance... hes being stupd....
[03:06] <DragonLotus> IndyGunFreak: unacceptable.  Any other ideas? ;)
[03:06] <zcat[1]> shazzam: you already have it.. but you might want to install compizconfig-settings-manager package to turn on soem of the more fun effects
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> not really.. i don't have any probs w/ mine...
[03:06] <jc___> where do crash reports live?
[03:06] <matthew_> I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes: I've got my desktop running gentoo (gcc-4.2.3, i686-linux-gnu), and my server running ubuntu (gcc-4.2.3, i486-linux-gnu). How can I change the gcc target to compile for i686 processors (my desktop proc)?
[03:07] <DragonLotus> thanks anyway.
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> shazzam: what graphics device do you have?
[03:07] <zcat[1]> shazzam: what video card do you have?
[03:07] <Ward1983> adam7, so ping <IP_ADDRESS> works but i cant get passed it, i cant surf or ping google
[03:07] <zcat[1]> nvidias work really well, others ymmv..
[03:07] <D3RGPS31> ward1983: i'm abit lost, i don't know which wacom drivers where installed
[03:07] <adam7> Ward1983: ok, so the problem isn't there... probably the gateway is the issue
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, ymmv..lol, you'll get about as far as Rosie O Donnell gets on a treadmill
[03:08] <shazzam> well im just testing it for now.. ill prob use the live cd on my vista (im on an xp now...)
[03:08] <cypha> how do i get GNOME-DO to search files in my attached usb drive?
[03:08] <adam7> Ward1983: actually, try this: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:08] <shazzam> im not sure wat the vista has
[03:08] <zcat[1]> apparently the recent intel cards are pretty good, and open source drivers too :)
[03:08] <Ward1983> adam7, this laptop uses the same gateway, my router is setup fine
[03:08] <Flannel> matthew_: it's just cross compiling, just make sure you have the proper binutils and then pass the --target=arch
[03:08] <Ward1983> adam7, no reply, its not a dns problem :(
[03:09] <matthew_> ah, there we go
[03:09] <matthew_> thank you, Flannel
[03:09] <adam7> Ward1983: ok, try this: sudo apt-get remove bridge-utils, and then reboot the desktop
[03:09] <Loligaga_> anyone know good html programming sites??
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> zcat[1]: yeah, they aren't to bad(i have an Intel Moble GM965/GL960 on my laptop, it runs compiz fine.. on Gutsy though, forget it.. couldn't even enable even the most basic desktop effects
[03:09] <osxdude|laptop> ok.
[03:09] <zcat[1]> loligaga_ w3c :)
[03:09] <osxdude|laptop> i'mma brb
[03:09] <Ward1983> adam7, good idea
[03:09] <Loligaga_> w3c?
[03:09] <shazzam> so is compiz fusion one of the synotics?.
[03:09] <bri-h> loligaga echo on w3c
[03:09]  * zcat[1] writes compliant html and css in nano :)
[03:10] <Loligaga_> what?
[03:10] <black9ice> I just added 2 more drives to my machine for data, how can I add them to read/write to them?  Standard Fstab editing?
[03:10] <Loligaga_> sry noob
[03:10] <zcat[1]> shazzam: compiz-fusion is installed and running by default, with a limited set of eeffects enabled.
[03:11] <[gquit]bombadil> if ubuntu doesnt give users write access to /usr/local/bin/ where should i put programs that aren't available via repos?
[03:11] <jc___> anyone know how to exclude a program from ubuntu's crash reporting system?
[03:11] <shazzam> so how do i get more effects going so my friend will get interested and look at the friggin screen!
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> shazzam: wether it works or not, depends on your graphics device, again, what is your graphics device
[03:11] <matthew_> Flannel, but how can I get gcc to aim at i686 instead of i486?
