[06:56] <Kyle__> anyone know a plug 'n play (fully supported by ubuntu) WIFI card?
[06:56] <howlingmadhowie> inqui: cool :) you've just copied part of a file system onto another part of the filesystem :)
[06:56] <pike_> kmasta: ive not used synaptic.. id guess 'complete removal' is maybe --purge? but im not sure
[06:56] <asas> ext3
[06:56] <asas> ext3
[06:56] <soundray> kost_: still here?
[06:56] <asas> and swap
[06:57] <asas> maybe its because i installed ubuntu with wubi?
[06:57] <howlingmadhowie> inqui: sorry, copied is the wrong word. you mounted it there :) as to why your torrent-client can't see the files: i dunno :(
[06:57] <kmasta> pike_ should i just do it in cli then?
[06:57] <inqui> yeah
[06:57] <inqui> but i will fix this
[06:57] <asas> so?
[06:58] <pike_> kmasta: thats what id do. just dpkg -l | grep linux-image  then sudo apt-get remove the ones you dont want in that list
[06:58] <AyoTechnology> no it hasn't anything to do with wubi
[06:58] <inqui> howlingmadhowie:  thank you very much so far - i got to try remove the device and mount again
[06:58] <kmasta> pike_ ah here's the difference. complete removal removes all dependancies
[06:58] <AyoTechnology> asas it is WETHER a problem with NTFS SAMBA SHARES in you "fstab" file OR it is because of automatic login
[06:59] <AyoTechnology> asas: does your ubuntu automatically login?

[07:09] <jamiejcumbria> any one tell me how to test weather my gigabit nic is working a 1000baset?
[07:10] <needhelp> In a wireless lan, is DNS the ip of the router ?
[07:10] <andreas_> My question is: How stable is the Ubuntu server release compared to lets say debian stable?
[07:10] <pike_> andreas_: if i were going with a server id be debian etch.
[07:10] <kitche> theconartist: sorry about that went to the bank ok so he needs to configure X then there is two ways to do it either with sudo X -configure or the debian way
[07:11] <profanephobia> andreas_, debian stable is more stable theoritcally becuase ubuntu is based off of debian experimental
[07:11] <soundray> andreas_: do you mean stability in terms of robustness to crashes or frequency of (security|feature)-updates?
[07:11] <magnetron> andreas_: the LTS release of ubuntu is very stable
[07:12] <andreas_> with stable I mean both: security and stability crashwise
[07:12] <Sithe> magnetron when ever i start up CSS it starts normal then it goes to a black screen
[07:12] <hansdiewanz> www.pennergame.de/ref.php?uid=2704
[07:12] <PriceChild> needhelp, sounds sensible if your router is acting as the gateway.
[07:12] <yoshibond> hey everyone!
[07:12] <yoshibond> would someone be able to help me setup TV-out support in ubuntu?
[07:13] <needhelp> PriceChild: where "sensible" = "yes" ??
[07:13] <bannerman> aiee, grub won't install! help. It's super descriptive, it says it "failed" on /dev/sda
[07:13] <yoshibond> i have a geforce 6150 onboard with my Asus M2NPV-VM mobo
[07:13] <magnetron> Sithe: i told you, i cannot give you support on windows programs. check wine appdb for help!
[07:13] <andreas_> the thing is that our desktop machines are ubuntu, so it would be nice to stick with ubuntu for the cluster too
[07:13] <yoshibond> and i cant get the TV out to work via the component video output
[07:13] <PriceChild> needhelp, if your router is the thing that connect to the internet, then yeah I guess its sensible :)
[07:13] <yoshibond> i have played around with the xorg.conf
[07:13] <yoshibond> with the default one nothing comes up (blank screen)
[07:13] <pike_> andreas_: itll be hard to tell the difference unless you cat sources.list. :)
[07:13] <needhelp> PriceChild: alright, thnks:)
[07:13] <magnetron> !enter | yoshibond
[07:13] <soundray> andreas_: if you're already into ubuntu, I'd stick with it. The difference in terms of stability is small, if relevant at all.
[07:13] <ubotu> yoshibond: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:14] <yoshibond> ok sorry
[07:14] <yoshibond> ill start again
[07:14] <needhelp> is the ethernet card in any way in use when using a wireless lan? or can be disabled?
[07:15] <bkeating> vsftpd and NIS - I just installed vsftpd and NIS user accounts will not connect - any pointers? I think i need to change my PAM method?
[07:15] <PriceChild> needhelp, your turn... what sounds sensible to you? :)
[07:15] <rimose> Hey. Anyone know how to encrypt compressed files in File-Roller?
[07:16] <yoshibond> ok problem: i am trying to setup my computer to use my tv as display via component video outputs on mobo (Asus M2NPV-VM with onboard Geforce 6150). With the default xorg.conf I get no video (its not a hardware problem as when I open the BIOS and the loaded Ubuntu screen looks PERFECT). I changed my xorg.conf (replaced all of it) to one I found on the internet for someone using 1080i output, then a picture came up but it was all blu
[07:16] <yoshibond> e tinted and bad quality - i have no clue what else to try
[07:16] <needhelp> PriceChild: sensible? hmmm dunno.. I would guess dns addr = router ip
[07:16] <andreas_> thx guys
[07:16] <soundray> andreas_: what kind of processing will you be running?
[07:16] <PriceChild> needhelp, no... as in would one network card not connected, affect another one which is?
[07:17] <magnetron> rimose: the encryption in ZIP files is very weak and can easily be bypassed. you should use a dedicated encryption solution, like GPG with Seahorse
[07:17] <mister> hello... how can i tar an .rar file on ubuntu ? thankx
[07:17] <PriceChild> mister, you want to unrar, and then tar back up?
[07:17] <mister> i want to unrar yes..but i dont have unrar...
[07:17] <x2Fusion> DCC SEND C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[07:17] <PriceChild> mister, "sudo apt-get install unrar" ?
[07:17] <yoshibond> ubotu --- can you help with my question?
[07:18] <rimose> magnetron, GPG with Seahorse? So I have to encrypt, then compress?
[07:18] <mister> other way ??? PriceChild ?? with tar / gunzip ?? no way ?
[07:18] <magnetron> rimose: first compress, then encrypt
[07:18] <PriceChild> mister, rars need unrar to unrar them...?
[07:18] <yoshibond> can someone help with my video out problem please!
[07:19] <PriceChild> yoshibond, what card are you using?
[07:19] <rimose> magnetron, since I only need a local solution, would encrypting an entire partition be easier?
[07:19] <yoshibond> here PriceChild - i will post the problem again
[07:19] <yoshibond> ok problem: i am trying to setup my computer to use my tv as display via component video outputs on mobo (Asus M2NPV-VM with onboard Geforce 6150). With the default xorg.conf I get no video (its not a hardware problem as when I open the BIOS and the loaded Ubuntu screen looks PERFECT).

[07:19] <soundray> !tvout | yoshibond
[07:19] <ubotu> yoshibond: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[07:19] <soundray> !ubotu | yoshibond
[07:19] <ubotu> yoshibond: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[07:19] <yoshibond> i have tried everything the bot is recommending
[07:19] <PriceChild> yoshibond, ah so you want both tv out and vga working... or just tv out?
[07:20] <mister> PriceChild,  how can i transforme an .rar file to an .tar.gz / .tgz / .tar file :-? can you tell me ?
[07:20] <yoshibond> i dont care - just tv is fine - its for a dedicated home theater pc
[07:20] <rimose> !file encryption
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about file encryption - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:20] <PriceChild> mister, install unrar, and then use the gui to extract it then archive it
[07:20] <PriceChild> yoshibond, ok... well I have both working. I will pastebin my xorg.conf for you to look at
[07:21] <needhelp> PriceChild: so by doing 'ifconfig ra1', there should come up an IP. No IP is shown. Doing 'iwlist scan' shows three cells, none of them contains the correct SSID which I entered and quality of all of them are 0/100.....
[07:21] <yoshibond> can i just use your xorg.conf priceChild
[07:21] <yoshibond> ?
[07:21] <magnetron> the easiest of encrypting a partition in ubuntu would be Truecrypt. even then, if you just want to encrypt 10~20 files, gpg would be the most "standard" way of doing it
[07:21] <yoshibond> the closest I have come to getting this working was when i used someone elses xorg.conf but it had HORRIBLE overscan
[07:21] <charli1> anybody had problems with avi video
[07:21] <charli1> i cant play avi videos

[07:22] <PriceChild> yoshibond, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32945/ You will want to use the "tv" bits from mine, but not the twinview bits.
[07:22] <rimose> charli1, I would recommend kmplayer.
[07:22] <yoshibond> ok how do  ichose those
[07:22] <yoshibond> ?
[07:22] <PriceChild> needhelp, sudo iwconfig ra1 essid <name>
[07:22] <PriceChild> needhelp, sudo dhclient ra1
[07:23] <PriceChild> needhelp, that "should" work
[07:23] <yoshibond> PriceChild you said that i have to chose tv bits?
[07:23] <yoshibond> how do i do that?
[07:23] <CheeseGardener> Could someone give me a hand restoring from AptOnCD????
[07:23] <rimose> Thanks, magnetron. Helped a lot!
[07:23] <magnetron> glad to help, rimose
[07:24] <magnetron> CheeseGardener: a disk made with aptoncd only contains the individual packages, not the ubuntu installer
[07:25] <yoshibond> PriceChild -- sorry to bother - what do i do with your xorg.conf -- about TV bits or something?
[07:25] <CheeseGardener> Ok, mangetron how do I get all the packages to install again????
[07:25] <charli1> kmplayer?
[07:26] <charli1> for the videos
[07:26] <mister> hello..how can i tar an folder :-?
[07:26] <jrib> mister: right click on it -> create archive
[07:26] <mister> i mean make an arhive ( .tar.gz / .tgz )
[07:26] <variant> mister: man tar will tell you, otherwise use file-roller
[07:26] <CheeseGardener> How do I get the packages from the CD to install???
[07:27] <soundray> CheeseGardener: don't be so impatient. What exactly are you trying to restore?
[07:27] <CheeseGardener> I clicked "restore from ISO"
[07:27] <mister> jrib, on terminal...
[07:27] <lattera> the ubuntu cds are not recognizing my cdrom drive
[07:27] <lattera> is there any way to load drivers during boot?
[07:27] <CheeseGardener> My programs.  I had created a restore ISO before.
[07:27] <variant> lattera: most drivers are loaded during boot
[07:27] <baconbacon> enigmail-locale-** should be required when enigmail _and_ language-pack-** is installed. My question is: can dpkg do this?
[07:27] <CheeseGardener> It says it put the packages in the "cache"
[07:27] <lattera> yeah, but the driver for my cdrom drive isn't being loaded
[07:28] <soundray> CheeseGardener: cp /cdrom/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/
[07:28] <jrib> mister: the third example in the man page for tar does that.  Just type 'man tar', press enter, hit / and then type "examples" and hit enter.  You should see it
[07:28] <lattera> it's a brand new laptop and ubuntu's not recognizing my cdrom drive
[07:28] <variant> lattera: that seems unlikley
[07:28] <jimmyxx> Hi All, im on my laptop as I've just upgraded my desktop to fiesty but for some reason now its wireless card isn't working, it doesn't have a wireless option in the network tools. Does anyone know of a way of redescvoering my wireless card? its tricky as now that computer isn't on the internet :(
[07:28] <lattera> what else would it be?
[07:28] <lattera> it works in gentoo
[07:28] <CheeseGardener> It's not a CD rom soundray
[07:28] <variant> lattera: does lshw list it? (run sudo lshw | less for a convenient way to view it)
[07:28] <CheeseGardener> it's an ISO
[07:28] <soundray> CheeseGardener: then mount the iso
[07:28] <lattera> from the livecd?
[07:29] <soundray> !mountiso | CheeseGardener

[07:29] <lattera> it drops me into a busybox shell

[07:33] <amzz2U> the problem is sound only comes from my right cahannels
[07:33] <jrib> mister: note that example I mentioned doesn't compress it, so you need to add 'z' to get it to become an actual tar.gz file instead of just a .tar file

[07:35] <malnilion> rimose, that's the answer I needed, it was crashing me bad
[07:35] <yoshibond> pricechild - thanks!
[07:35] <variant> RiCCo69: you find the torrrent files via google. make sure you set up azureus according to the azureus wiki
[07:35] <ggeller> ferronica: Edit /etc/fstab
[07:35] <malnilion> rimose, does hibernate work better?
[07:35] <PriceChild> yoshibond, I'm really not the expert on this... you can see my xorg to show how I managed to get my nvidia tv out working.
[07:35] <yoshibond> pricechild - i couldnt get your file to work .. but i think i screwed somethuing else up
[07:35] <rimose> malnilion, my computer supports suspend and hibernate about 90%, the computer has problems waking up from both.
[07:36] <ggeller>  How do I use apt-get (or whatever) to get a list of available packages?
[07:36] <jrib> !apt > ggeller (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:36] <yoshibond> i think my driver is scrwewed up - how can i fix this (reinstall the Nvidia drivers)
[07:36] <variant> malnilion: it does work better. suspend and other features like that are mostly not working due to poorly implemented acpi on your motherboard
[07:36] <ferronica> ggeller: what command to open that file to alter
[07:36] <variant> ggeller: apt-cache search progname
[07:36] <malnilion> variant, I'd believe that.
[07:36] <rimose> malnilion,  I wouldn't bother with either.
[07:36] <malnilion> I wouldn't either
[07:37] <yamyogurt> my screen resolution is at 800X600 and every time i try and fix my xorg.conf when I reboot it puts me into console
[07:37] <lattera> ubuntu isn't even recognizing my cdrom drive
[07:37] <malnilion> Thanks for your help, rimose and variant
[07:37] <lattera> dmesg doesn't report it being there
[07:37] <yoshibond> when i used your file as the xorg.conf it showed that it couldnt find the nvidia
[07:37] <ferronica> ggeller: how to open that file ?
[07:37] <Xsss4hell> beryl or compiz??
[07:37] <yoshibond> but i ahve the drivers installed as far as i know
[07:37] <rimose> lattera, can you dual boot Windows or some other OS?
[07:37] <ggeller> ferronica: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[07:37] <lattera> I guess I could install win2k...
[07:37] <jrib> !tar > mister (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:38] <ggeller> Then comment out the line for this filesystem.
[07:38] <lattera> gentoo recognizes it as a generic cdrom
[07:38] <variant> lattera: yes, that is an option
[07:38] <rimose> lattera, I meant does it work with a different OS?
[07:38] <variant> lattera: use gentoo then?
[07:38] <mister> k
[07:38] <mister> i didi it
[07:38] <soundray> ggeller: please recommend gksudo with graphical programs (sets up a more appropriate environment)
[07:38] <aaron> are there any CLI editors besides nano and vi? i'd like something that will color code shell scripts like gedit or notepad++
[07:38] <lattera> gentoo is proving to not work
[07:38] <ggeller> ferronica: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[07:38] <lattera> everything is running very slowly
[07:38] <kaksoisv> how i can get beryl working?
[07:38] <variant> aaron: nano does syntax highlighting too. you can check out emacs too, very powerfull but also steep learning curve
[07:39] <variant> kaksoisv: click your heals together 3 tiems
[07:39] <kaksoisv> what i do after i have downloaded it?
[07:39] <kitche> emacs is not an editor it's an OS :)
[07:39] <CheeseGardener> soundray I'm still having problems :(, could you break this down for me a little more?
[07:39] <yum__> i am starting up in single-user mode and it is asking me for a root password, but none is set and it won't let me log in
[07:39] <ferronica> ggeller: /dev/sdc1 /media/Local\040Disk ntfs umask=222,utf8 0 0
[07:40] <soundray> CheeseGardener: you've got to say what the problem is.
[07:40] <lattera> it's just an atapi sata cdrom
[07:40] <aaron> variant, you know where nanorc is on a debian system?
[07:40] <rimose> !seahorse
[07:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seahorse - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:40] <rimose> !gnomegpg
[07:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomegpg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:40] <CheeseGardener> I think I'm either mounting it wrong or something else.  Could you IM me and I'll give you all the info.
[07:40] <marti149> hi guys, how do I allow root to connect via ssh and winscp ?
[07:41] <variant> aaron: yeah, you can have a global one or a local user one .nanorc
[07:41] <marti149> I mounted an encrypted drive and only root can write to it
[07:41] <rimose> While you're on the subject, I'm mounting a fuse-3g partition with the user setting, but it doesn't let users mount and unmount. What am I doing wrong?
[07:41] <soundray> CheeseGardener: join #ubuntu-classroom

[07:41] <rimose> I'm sorry, ntfs-3g
[07:42] <marti149> its like 3ddesktop --
[07:42] <codecaine> is there a real advance math tutorial app for ubuntu?
[07:42] <marti149> r
[07:42] <marti149> r is like matlab
[07:44] <jrib> codecaine: there's octave and maxima
[07:44] <marti149> hi guys, how do I allow root to connect via ssh and winscp ?
[07:44] <codecaine> does it teaches u
[07:44] <codecaine> I thought it just solve problems
[07:45] <rimose> codecaine, if you want to study advanced calculus and algebra, well, sign up to a course.
[07:45] <jrib> codecaine: oh, no you're right, it's just to solve problems.  I didn't understand what you meant
[07:46] <codecaine> k ty
[07:46] <[andres] > I'm having problems starting programs in X. starting in failsafe terminal mode works, but everything else just hangs. gnome hangs, and firefox from the failsafe term hangs. strace shows it hanging in the same operation. what can I do to find the problem?

[07:47] <askand> I think the titlebar of my windows just got smaller..how to make them bigger?
[07:47] <ferronica> ggeller: ???
[07:47] <ferronica> ggeller: what command once again please ?
[07:47] <jrib> marti149: I wouldn't, it's a bad idea imo.  Besides you can just use your user and sudo with him like you do locally
[07:47] <therethinker> is there a way to send a message to all users logged in?
[07:47] <magnetron> codecaine: there are some basic math games for ubuntu too, but they are very basic. if you check out "add/remove applications" you will find them
[07:47] <needhelp> Hi, can someone guide me setting up wireless network with a D-Link DIR-635 router and a Ubuntu 704 client with a wireless network card ?
[07:48] <codecaine> ty I think I have them already :)
[07:48] <rimose> askand, there's an "Appearance" item in the preferences menu, try that.
[07:48] <aneb> What is the magic way to remove the restricted drivers contaminating Ubuntu?
[07:49] <rimose> aneb, install Debian?
[07:49] <aneb> rimose: I can't
[07:49] <rimose> Yeah, I was kidding.
[07:49] <rimose> You can use synaptic. Search for "restricted", and remove.
[07:49] <BVBBQ> Im using edgy, is it a good idea to go for Feisty yet?
[07:50] <rimose> BVBBQ, yes, use the update manager, it'll do it automatically for you.
[07:50] <jrib> aneb: they aren't installed unless you choose to install them
[07:50] <lattera> ubuntu doesn't even say the cdrom exists in the syslog/dmesg output
[07:50] <lattera> the kernel (or modules) isn't detecting it
[07:50] <jrib> aneb: system -> administration -> restricted drives manager should tell you the status
[07:50] <rimose> lattera, does the BIOS detect it?
[07:50] <lattera> yes
[07:50] <rimose> Hm.
[07:51] <rimose> Can you boot a live CD off of it?
[07:51] <lattera> yes
[07:51] <lattera> I installed gentoo off it
[07:51] <lattera> and have used it in the installed gentoo environment
[07:51] <rimose> lattera, must be a configuration issue, but aside from resetting your configuration I have no idea what you can do.
[07:51] <diminthedam> can someone recommend a good ubuntu tool for managing software localisation (string counts in .po .xml files)?
[07:51] <mike340> hi need some quick help im installing ubuntu on my laptop that already has windows, its onanother partition and i dont want to mess up windows booting... is there a way to install grub to my usb stick? i am on step 7 of installation
[07:52] <herbaliser> hi at the login screen i get wrong keyboard layout in gnome all is ok how do i change this?
[07:53] <rimose> mike340, you can install grub on your USB stick, but it'll make booting a hassle.
[07:53] <andyp_> hi
[07:53] <mike340> rimose: how so?
[07:53] <andyp_> how to add user andyp to audio group?

[07:53] <the_bull> can nyone suggest me one thing?
[07:54] <lattera> yes!!!
[07:54] <rimose> mike340, you'll have to change your BIOS to boot from USB.
[07:54] <lattera> it was a bios setting
[07:54] <lattera> I had to enable ahcpi
[07:54] <rimose> Good going, lattera.
[07:54] <lattera> freak, this was pissing me off
[07:54] <the_bull> do nyone know the value of Ubuntu certification with compare to RHCE?

[07:57] <ribando> can someone tell me if they got internet explorer 6.0 to work under wine?because I could only get IE 5.5 to work fine, but whithout activex control.
[07:58] <rimose> mailavj, the quick and dirty way would be to uninstall compiz
[07:58] <ublender> When I look in my home folder, everything that should be hidden (.folder) is hidden correctly, but when I look in a open or save file window, nothing is hidden, so I get a list of 100 or so folders, how do I make files hidden in the open/save window?
[07:58] <mailavj> rimose , will that restore my original non-3D desktop
[07:58] <nalioth> Dreamless: no netsplit
[07:58] <mike340> in the ubuntu install for grub it says it will install to (hd0) what do i put to make it install to usb drive instead?
[07:58] <rimose> ublender, right click and deselect "show hidden files"
[07:58] <DShepherd> ublender, i think if you right click there's some option to hide it..
[07:58] <ublender> rimose, thanks
[07:59] <Myrtti> right click
[07:59] <NET||abuse> oh boy,k, i have to install a 32bit firefox to use flashplugin,, arrgg..
[07:59] <ublender> never thought of right clicking, lol
[07:59] <rimose> mailavj, do you know if you're using XGL or a regular session?
[07:59] <NET||abuse> this amd64 workaround stuff sucks
[07:59] <lockd> NET||abuse: that's the problem with binary only
[07:59] <mailavj> rimose, how can i find that
[08:00] <rimose> mailavj, do you use a login menu (do you have to enter a username and password to log in)?
[08:00] <slestak> mailavj: i think metacity --replace might do what you need.  I do that before i play games in cedega to temp disable compiz
[08:00] <herbaliser> hi at the login screen i get wrong keyboard layout in gnome all is ok how do i change this?
[08:00] <mailavj> yes
[08:00] <needhelp> Hi, can someone guide me setting up wireless network with a D-Link DIR-635 router and a Ubuntu 704 client with a wireless network card ?
[08:00] <fruitbatJim>  will 'chmod -R 777 ~' will give full rights on every file and directory under my home?
[08:00] <mailavj> rimose , i do use graphical login
[08:00] <rimose> Then when you login press F10, and select "GNOME session".
[08:01] <stefg> !wifi
[08:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:01] <variant> felixhummel_: yes, to everyone. it is an exceptionally bad idea
[08:01] <variant> fruitbatJim: yes, to everyone. it is an exceptionally bad idea
[08:02] <rimose> Sorry: F10 -> Select session -> GNOME session
[08:02] <variant> fruitbatJim: it may stop you from being able to perform certain actions and may cause login problems too
[08:02] <variant> fruitbatJim: will also be a pain in the neck to reverse. i would really not do it if i were you
[08:02] <jrib> fruitbatJim: I agree with variant , it's a terrible idea
[08:02] <ikemann> hello all
[08:02] <fruitbatJim> I was more curious about the '-R' flag, the 777 was just an example :)
[08:03] <fruitbatJim> thanks though
[08:03] <OraZen> hello everybody :)
[08:03] <variant> fruitbatJim: -R means it will descend into directorys and change the permissions of subfiles and subdirs too as far as it can
[08:03] <mike340> how do i lista ll disks in my computer in the format (hd0) (hd1) etc
[08:03] <stefg> !permissions
[08:03] <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

[08:04] <RiCCo69> hey i want to d-load a game but it doesn't have a linux vs. can I still play it or do i need an addon?
[08:04] <rimose> RiCCo69, you probably can't play it on Linux.
[08:04] <stefg> !games
[08:04] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[08:04] <mike340> fdisk -l doesnt tell me if its hd0 or hd1 or hd2 etc
[08:04] <mailavj> variant , i did fdisk -l
[08:04] <variant> rimose: maybe in wine you can run it
[08:04] <mailavj> and i have its output
[08:05] <rimose> variant, results are usually poor.
[08:05] <lockd> RiCCo69: check winehq for compatibility
[08:05] <variant> mailavj: are you looking for the grub equivilent of /dev/hda1 or something simmilar?
[08:05] <RiCCo69> winehq allright what's the web address?
[08:05] <ikemann> anyone have any experience with vmware workstation 6.0?
[08:05] <variant> RiCCo69: in the firefox url bar type "wine appdb programname"
[08:05] <ConfidentiaL> /reconnect
[08:05] <mailavj> variant , my question is how to disable 3D desktop effects from shell ,
[08:06] <ribando> !wine
[08:06] <variant> RiCCo69: where programname is the name of the windows program you want to run
[08:06] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:06] <RiCCo69> thanx
[08:06] <variant> mailavj: what does that have to do with your hard disks?

[08:08] <ikemann> how do i sync my palm on windows xp guest via vmware?
[08:08] <variant> mailavj: it should come back, otherwise just run "nautilus"
[08:08] <variant> mailavj: alt + f2 should still work even without the window manager running
[08:09] <mailavj> variant will nautilus work , if i have shell only
[08:09] <variant> mailavj: if you killall compiz it won't log you out. the window borders will just dissapear (and nautilus *should* take over

[08:13] <Bender1337> variant: it does answer your question
[08:13] <variant> ribando: how did you install it exactly? there is a very nice script that generally does it correctly (ie4lin i think its called)
[08:14] <neverblue2> ikemann, did you install the vmware addons?
[08:14] <variant> Bender1337: i didn't ask one
[08:14] <favoritefood0> Anyways what my problem is that I cannot modify anything.
[08:14] <favoritefood0> I installed it, made an account, and logged on.
[08:14] <ikemann> neverblue2: i'm not sure, i installed vmware tools on the guest machine
[08:14] <favoritefood0> Now what happens is even on a new account (with admin abilities) I cannot modify folders to allow me to write files.
[08:14] <Bender1337> how do u pm someone

[08:14] <neverblue2> Bender1337, /msg username message
[08:15] <variant> Bender1337: you need to be registered with nickserv to msg other users (unless they have disabled that themselves)
[08:15] <neverblue2> gorrz, consult your modem's manual
[08:15] <gorrz> neverblue2, gotcha
[08:15] <variant> gorrz: there should be a hardware reset button on it
[08:15] <desktop> gorz, isn't there a tiny rest-button on your modem ?
[08:15] <variant> gorrz: for pressing with a pen tip
[08:15] <desktop> rest - reset

[08:21] <Bakefy> is there an IE 6 for linux?
[08:21] <mattgyver83> its not ssh or telnet
[08:21] <variant> mattgyver83: ok, so probably samba then. you mean to view files like they were local to the machine?
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> !fishing > stefg
[08:22] <mattgyver83> no, i want to remotely access my desktops
[08:22] <variant> Bakefy: no, but you can install ms ie6 with the ie4lin wine script
[08:22] <variant> mattgyver83: ahha
[08:22] <variant> mattgyver83: you are probably using vnc then
[08:22] <mattgyver83> yeah i am
[08:22] <mattgyver83> I use samba to view the netwokr (which i have problems with that at the moment too)
[08:22] <Bakefy> variant, wonderful!
[08:23] <ggeller> mattgyver83: I've had good luck with nx, see nomachine.com.
[08:23] <variant> mattgyver83: you should make sure that the programs you are using are all compatible, also, make sure compiz/beryl is not running on the linux box as they are generally not compatible with vnc
[08:23] <mattgyver83> Okay.
[08:23] <mattgyver83> The progams i am using are cross-platform
[08:23] <mattgyver83> Tightvnc
[08:23] <variant> mattgyver83: you can also try ms terminal services, that is quite efficient and there is free software support for it in ubuntu although the server is not there to be set up by default afaik
[08:24] <variant> mattgyver83: tightvnc is good, are the port settings on the server and clients all the same?
[08:24] <Bender1337> is ultraVNC just for windows
[08:24] <mattgyver83> Yeah
[08:24] <mattgyver83> wait no
[08:24] <variant> mattgyver83: and also the server(s) are set to accept incoming connections
[08:24] <mattgyver83> they are each specific, and i setupport forwards
[08:24] <sambiase> hi...whats the difference between ubuntu feisty and kubuntu feisty?
[08:25] <cartman_> i want to update my grub-menu via grub-install. but this command need a device. is there an easy way to determine where my old grub-menu is atm?
[08:25] <variant> mattgyver83: maybe you set it wrongly on one of them?
[08:25] <mattgyver83> However, i cant seem to specify the ports for linux with the tightvnc server
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> one has gnome, the other kde
[08:25] <jetscreamer> nothing
[08:25] <sambiase> thanks :)
[08:25] <variant> mattgyver83: you should be able to, take a look at the command line options
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> cartman_: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:25] <mattgyver83> i did, and i read up on it, but its all kinda vague
[08:25] <favoritefood0> my terminal is messing up
[08:25] <variant> mattgyver83: you are using xvnc yes?
[08:25] <mattgyver83> No, TSClient
[08:26] <mattgyver83> to connect from ubuntu to windows
[08:26] <favoritefood0> I type in the command sudo bash diskmounter
[08:26] <favoritefood0> and it messes up my termina
[08:26] <favoritefood0> terminal*
[08:26] <Eric> could anyone suggest a good dock
[08:26] <favoritefood0> I can't type anymore into it.
[08:26] <mattgyver83> and tightvncviewer from windows
[08:26] <variant> mattgyver83: which is it that wont connect?
[08:26] <pike_> Eric: good doc?
[08:26] <mattgyver83> Well... let me rephrase this
[08:26] <cartman_> fyrestrtr: sorry, i forgot to say: where is my grub "installed" atm. i dont know the hd name
[08:26] <pike_> er dock?
[08:27] <mattgyver83> The issue is from windows to linux
[08:27] <mattgyver83> however, its not a connection issue
[08:27] <mattgyver83> Its a matter of when i make a connection, i will either get a terminal session, or I will get a screen cap of ..... omg.
[08:27] <variant> mattgyver83: yes, i gatherd that. best to get rid of all the possibilities though
[08:27] <fyrestrtr> cartman_: how many hard disks do you have?
[08:27] <mattgyver83> It might have been from beryl
[08:27] <Eric> pike: like an OSX program dock.  Like AWN
[08:27] <variant> mattgyver83: i did say, disable beryl and compiz :)
[08:27] <cartman_> fyrestrtr: 4 disks
[08:27] <mattgyver83> yeah :)
[08:27] <variant> s/and/or
[08:28] <mattgyver83> It does connect, but the screen never refreshes
[08:28] <fyrestrtr> cartman_: is grub the only boot manager installed?
[08:28] <mattgyver83> which thats probably why
[08:28] <variant> mattgyver83: :) glad you fixed it
[08:28] <cartman_> fyrestrtr: yes, the only bootmanager.
[08:28] <mattgyver83> Well, i havent yet... but i think thats it
[08:28] <fyrestrtr> cartman_: then it is on the first boot disk.
[08:28] <bannerman> While installing ubuntu on my software raid I get "grub-installer failed (hd0)"
[08:28] <bannerman> help!
[08:29] <cartman_> fyrestrtr: u mean the disk that is set as "boot disk" in BIOS?
[08:29] <fyrestrtr> cartman_: yes.

[08:31] <levander> I'm very surprised Yahoo has stuff on their site that crashes Linux Firefox.  It just seems so irresponsible of them for a major Web company.

[08:32] <NET||abuse> my bloody isp wont report the dns entry for my domain on it's primary dns, but it does on the secondary

[09:02] <Squee> kingKonqueror, nope, nvidia
[09:02] <IdleOne> swmiller6, wouldnt know
[09:03] <kitche> cabroni: maybe songbird amarok or banshee, banshee works with the itunes store
[09:03] <kingKonqueror> sorry, not the same issue i had then

[09:03] <phoenixz> I have a website with images in sub directories which are shown with apache indexing..  I want to download these images using wget but all it does is save index.html for each dir, and not the files.. I use wget -np -k -nc -t5 -r -l3 http://site.com:8081/img/ but could anybody tell me how I should use wget for this?

[09:03] <ravigehlot> How do I reload the USB controller without rebooting?
[09:03] <spiderworm> my ubuntu machine is now mounting the root partition read-only... anyone able to help with this sort of problem?
[09:04] <kitche> phoenixz: with wget -r
[09:04] <kitche> phoenixz: or the website-mirror feature
[09:04] <renIO> \quit
[09:04] <phoenixz> kitche, I am using -r...  wget -np -k -nc -t5 -r -l3 http://site.com:8081/img/
[09:04] <SpComb> I'm having trouble setting up TwinView on my machine, I have a nVidia 7800 GT with a DVI VX924 and a VGA VA902 display. I've tried both manual twiddling of xorg.conf and the nvidia-settings GUI. GPU: http://zapotekii.paivola.fi/~terom/stuff/nvidia-1.png , Displays: http://zapotekii.paivola.fi/~terom/stuff/nvidia-2.png , Screen 0: http://zapotekii.paivola.fi/~terom/stuff/nvidia-3.png
[09:05] <kitche> phoenixz: look at your command compared to mine just wget -r
[09:05] <SpComb> in case all those urls didn't fit in, they're http://zapotekii.paivola.fi/~terom/stuff/nvidia-{1,2,3}.png
[09:05] <effie_jayx> I am experiencig slow nautilus load at startup
[09:05] <level1> does anyone know any tv tuner cards that are know to play well in linux?  Is there a way to tell before I buy them?
[09:05] <effie_jayx> has anyone experiences anything like that?
[09:05] <SpComb> the way it currently works is that the right monitor (VA902) is displaying a 2560x1024 desktop (mouse on edge scrolls around), and the VX924 is No-Signal
[09:06] <mishu> Hey, I have checked my /var/apt/cache directory it just 122 MB
[09:06] <Squee> level1, check out hauppauge, i use them and they are awesome, great linux support
[09:06] <mishu> Is there some way i can check which is taking up the space?
[09:06] <spiderworm> level1: i second what Squee said
[09:06] <gordonjcp> level1: these days, SAA7134
[09:06] <mishu> i mean which file/folder
[09:06] <slrazer> ok.. im going to install ubuntu server on 2 computers... one im going to use hompage(mysql, apache, php, ftp)/webemail/teamspeak server and the ather im going to use as an counter-strike server... shod i use dns or lamp server???? whats the difrence betwen lamp and dns?
[09:06] <Squee> mishu, baobab
[09:06] <Squee> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a roomates laptop, and it starts booting the live cd then just drops to a shell... anybody have any ideas on what I can try?
[09:06] <gordonjcp> level1: I use SAA7134s to capture from high-end svideo gear and it looks pretty good
[09:06] <phoenixz> kitche, same result...
[09:07] <kingKonqueror> lamp = linux apache php/perl mysql - probably what you want for homepages etc
[09:07] <cyber_cop> hi channel
[09:07] <kitche> phoenixz: hmm that should download all the files in the directory
[09:07] <kingKonqueror> DNS server is for resolving website addresses - useful but not what you want
[09:07] <cyber_cop> I'm Turkish ubuntu user
[09:07] <phoenixz> kitche, its only creating the index.html files, but not downloading the files
[09:07] <pete83> level1: I know the website "Phoronix" has tons of reviews of how video cards work in linux
[09:07] <level1> Squee: it seems like hauppauge is replacing some of its cards with newer cards that don't work as well
[09:07] <soundray> mishu: 'sudo du / | sort -n >/tmp/dusortn ; tail /tmp/dusortn'
[09:07] <level1> gordonjcp: is that a card or a chipset?
[09:07] <gordonjcp> it's a chipset
[09:07] <DShepherd> SpComb, hey
[09:07] <SpComb> it lists both displays just fine under the GPU, and the info for X Screen 0 also lists both Displays. But the Layout only shows one display, and the VX924 is just physically not showing anything
[09:07] <level1> gordonjcp: is there a way to know a card's chipset before buying it?
[09:07] <slrazer> shod i use dns on the counter-strike server or lamp on both?
[09:07] <cyber_cop> I'm search color code program
[09:07] <gordonjcp> level1: knackered hell produce el-cheapo cards with that chip on them
[09:08] <Squee> level1, I haven't heard of that, I have a pvr-500, the quality isn't perfect, but it works very well
[09:08] <needhelp> Why doesnt D-Link RID-635 wireless router work with Ubuntu 704 ?
[09:08] <gordonjcp> level1: look around and see what there is
[09:08] <DShepherd> SpComb, I am not sure what you are doing wrong.. or right :-) .. but i am willing to help you through the steps
[09:08] <soundray> level1: it's hard to tell before you buy unfortunately. Dibcom chipsets are well supported. Buy from someone who will give you a no-quibbles exchange.
[09:08] <kitche> needhelp: routers are OS independent so a router will work
[09:08] <cyber_cop> color code program please
[09:08] <gordonjcp> level1: the chipset is nice and what's even better is that they tend to be on 20-quid-in-PC-World cards
[09:08] <SpComb> AHA! I have discovered something... changing the Position to something else in the X Server Display Configuration reveals that the two displays were just on top of eachother on there >_>
[09:08] <pete83> needhelp: maybe it's the wireless card in your machine, and not the router?
[09:09] <DShepherd> SpComb, hehe.. yeah that's right
[09:09] <cyber_cop> help please
[09:09] <mishu> If i have my window drive mounted on /mnt/something --- Are they aslo counted as part of my / space/
[09:09] <cyber_cop> color code program
[09:09] <DShepherd> SpComb, so you kool now?
[09:09] <slrazer> shod i use lamp or dns on a gaming server?
[09:09] <cabroni> I have trying the last days to search a way to conect mi pc to the simple iPod Shuffle, does anybody know a program that wokrs as it?
[09:09] <kitche> mishu: no it's counted as /mnt/something
[09:09] <SpComb> there, it works now, the GUI was just confusing. Someone should make a note of that
[09:09] <stuart-> i wanna tweak ubuntu a little and disable some stuff, what is RAID software? i wanna nkow if i'll be needing it
[09:09] <needhelp> kitche, pate83 : so what am I doing wrong? I have installed the wireless card, set up WEP, channel and ssid. Still it wont connect
[09:09] <DShepherd> SpComb, if you want the monitors to show the same thing just change the position to clone..
[09:09] <level1> I really need a card that uses the pci express x1 or some other interface... no pci slots left on my mb
[09:09] <kingKonqueror> slrazer: you don't really need either if it is just going to run counterstrike or something
[09:09] <kaukx> lobqt.so.2
[09:09] <mishu> kitche: So it means it will not have any affect on my root drive
[09:09] <swmiller6> !lamp
[09:09] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:09] <kitche> mishu: correct
[09:10] <stuart-> !raid
[09:10] <soundray> mishu: if you use the du command I suggested above, it will be. To stay within your root filesystem, use du -x /
[09:10] <kaukx> !libqt.so.2
[09:10] <ubotu> Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[09:10] <SpComb> the second display ways positioned at 0,0, and the first one was inactive. I just had to set the second display to right-of, and then I was able to see the first one and set it to active
[09:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libqt.so.2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:10] <DShepherd> SpComb, glad you got that working. The interface for the GUI could be simpler. I agree. It confused the heaven out of me too
[09:10] <kaukx> libqt.so.2
[09:10] <mishu> Any idea which folders can be taking too much of space?
[09:10] <mishu> Do i need to run some check?
[09:10] <anathema> hi guys, is there a way to get low latency in ubuntu
[09:10] <anathema> for audio recording
[09:10] <level1> mishu: konqueror has a nice feature for that
[09:10] <mishu> as if linux is saying correct or something is damaged
[09:10] <slrazer> ok well i hawe to choose lamp or dns wen i install
[09:11] <kingKonqueror> DNS has less stuff
[09:11] <kingKonqueror> so i'd go with that
[09:11] <kingKonqueror> will be faster
[09:11] <level1> mishu: there are also command line utilities
[09:11] <fyrestrtr> anathema: you could renice the process.
[09:11] <slrazer> THANX :)
[09:11] <mishu> level1: like?
[09:11] <kingKonqueror> but you may want to turn off the DNS features afterwards
[09:11] <soundray> mishu: are you listening?
[09:11] <pete83> anathema: not sure, but check out the package called "linux-lowlatency"
[09:11] <slrazer> hum ok...
[09:11] <slrazer> hehe
[09:11] <anathema> thx pete83 , i will
[09:11] <mishu> My /var directory is 6.4 gb any reasons it can be so?
[09:11] <stuart-> how do i know if i'm using RAID/LVM or not?
[09:11] <Squee> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a roomates laptop, and it starts booting the live cd then just drops to a shell... anybody have any ideas on what I can try?  (I get the  error message "ata1:exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4000000 action 0x2 frozen"
[09:12] <cyber_cop> help please
[09:12] <level1> soundray: could you repost that command? I'd like to write it down
[09:12] <cyber_cop> color code program
[09:12] <level1> cyber_cop: whats up?
[09:12] <cyber_cop> I search color code program
[09:12] <DShepherd> cyber_cop, sudo apt-get install gcolor2
[09:12] <spiderworm> when booting my ubuntu box, my root filesystem is being mounted read only... can anyone help me with that?
[09:12] <cyber_cop> DShepherd: Thankyou very much
[09:12] <mishu> Damn it i installed Kannel and its log have been like 6.1 GB!
[09:13] <DShepherd> cyber_cop, your welcome very much
[09:13] <kingKonqueror> check your fstab
[09:13] <kingKonqueror> spiderworm
[09:13] <erUSUL> mishu: log spaming
[09:13] <SpComb> compare these two before/after images: http://zapotekii.paivola.fi/~terom/stuff/nvidia-2.png http://zapotekii.paivola.fi/~terom/stuff/nvidia-4.png
[09:13] <erUSUL> mishu: check the size of /var/log/
[09:13] <DShepherd> SpComb, me?
[09:13] <antony> Ive just installed ubuntu and then downloaded realplayer. It is in the format of .bin and i dont really know what to do from here to install it
[09:13] <kingKonqueror> spiderworm: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[09:13] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: i havent touched my fstab, and the root fs is set to mount read-only when theres an error
[09:13] <SpComb> (the mouse focus should be on the "RightOf" option, but otherwise)
[09:13] <kingKonqueror> oh okay
[09:14] <SpComb> well, just to demonstrate the general stupidity of that particular GUI operation
[09:14] <NeVerSafe> i been playing with iwconfig and ifconfig (removed networkmanager for the time being) i can connect to my wireless server but i dont really know how to disconnect from it anyone know the command for it ?
[09:14] <kingKonqueror> spiderworm: check for errors then :) try dmesg
[09:14] <mishu> erUSUL: Whats that ..?
[09:14] <mishu> erUSUL: Log spamming?
[09:14] <DShepherd> antony, sh ./file.bin #should run it
[09:15] <mishu> how can i uninstall some software?
[09:15] <needhelp> NeVerSafe: maybe sudo ifdown <dev>
[09:15] <antony> thanks
[09:15] <kingKonqueror> mishu: sudo aptitude purge <packagename>
[09:15] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: i have tried that and all the errors say something like hda1: rw=0, want=134219784, limit=115732197 ... attempt to access beyond end of device
[09:15] <DShepherd> antony, your welcome
[09:15] <kingKonqueror> or graphically via synaptic or even "add or remove programs"
[09:15] <IdleOne> mishu, my /var is 5.5G
[09:15] <erUSUL> mishu: maybe you are having a persistent error in some service or the kernel that is "spamming" the logs (filling them with the same repeated msgs)
[09:15] <erUSUL> mishu: check the size of /var/log/
[09:16] <NeVerSafe> needhelp,  i wanna disconnect give it new info for another network and connect but bringing the device down the up again will just connect to the old one again :(
[09:16] <mishu> Okay!
[09:16] <mishu> Yes its the bearbox that was doing it!
[09:16] <mishu> erUSUL:
[09:16] <Squee> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a roomates laptop, and it starts booting the live cd then just drops to a shell... anybody have any ideas on what I can try?  (I get the  error message "ata1:exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4000000 action 0x2 frozen"
[09:16] <mishu> It was bearbox!
[09:16] <erUSUL> mishu: bearbox??
[09:16] <kingKonqueror> spiderwordm: have you tried a fsck?
[09:16] <mishu> erUSUL -- Kannel part!
[09:16] <mishu> Kannel is sms gateway!
[09:17] <mishu> I installed it for someexperiments
[09:17] <caner_> is this possible to extract a pass protected rar file without knowing the password?
[09:17] <antony> i now get "cannot execute binary file"
[09:17] <NeVerSafe> Squee,  what video card is the computer running ?
[09:17] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: yes, fsck -r /dev/hda1 just says its clean
[09:17] <needhelp> NeVerSafe: perhaps ifdown dev, iwconfig dev mode managed, iwconfig dev channel ch, iwconfig essid id, ifconfig dev up or ifup dev
[09:17] <erUSUL> mishu: just delete the old logs to free space and get rid of that software (or fix it so it does not spam the logs)
[09:18] <Gizmo_the_Great> any1 know why applications that utilised dual processors (two seperate CPUs - not dual core) on my PC with Dapper now only utilise one CPU at a time with Fesity Fawn and it's generic kernel? With Dapper I had the 687-SMP kernel
[09:18] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: i'm using a rescue cd atm, that's where i tried doing fsck from
[09:18] <kingKonqueror> spiderworm: that is really weird...
[09:18] <kingKonqueror> hm
[09:18] <soundray> Gizmo_the_Great: first, make sure both CPUs are activated in the BIOS setup
[09:18] <cabroni>                           Wich version of Qt is embed in Ubuntu/kubuntu ? ? ?!
[09:19] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: df says that hda1 is 61% full
[09:19] <gluttony> my sound was working the other day, and now its no
[09:19] <gluttony> t
[09:19] <Gizmo_the_Great> soundray, nothing has changed from before in BIOS so that is the same
[09:19] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: i can mount the fs from the rescue disk and read/write to it just fine
[09:19] <erUSUL> Gizmo_the_Great: there shoulb be no difference between dapper smp kernel and feisty generic concerning that. why do you say that they only use one cpu?
[09:19] <caner_> could someone please tell me how to extract a password protected multipart rar file using the command line
[09:20] <slrazer> ok... annyone know how i cane change the color on my text? using server
[09:20] <kingKonqueror> spiderworm: hate to take a shotgun approach, but is reinstalling over it an option? if everything is partitioned nicely you can overwrite that one without needing to touch /home etc
[09:20] <Gizmo_the_Great> erUSUL, thats what I thought. In the past, the CPU monitor showed 100% usage for both, CPU1 & CPU2. Now only 100% for one, and a few % for the other
[09:20] <caner_> could someone please tell me how to extract a password protected multipart rar file using the command line
[09:21] <gluttony> when i first installed ubuntu, my sound was working just fine. now, when, i get no sound, even from start up
[09:21] <Gizmo_the_Great> erUSUL, the app is a grid computing app - BOINC
[09:21] <kingKonqueror> caner_: only google knows :)
[09:21] <spiderworm> kingKonqueror: its not really an option at this point, no
[09:21] <kallepersson> Hi
[09:21] <Squee> NeVerSafe, nvidia
[09:22] <caner_> kingKonqueror thanks
[09:22] <DShepherd> caner_, without using the password? I really dont know..
[09:22] <level1> Squee, gordonjcp: is an avermedia card likely to work well for me?
[09:22] <kingKonqueror> spiderworm: :( sorry to say i'm not sure then... i'm sure there are people more familiar with that kind of thing here though
[09:22] <spiderworm> what is the file that contains all the boot messages? is it /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages ?
[09:22] <burrit0> have a question, i have 2 partitions ext 2, one root and another media, how do i change the permission to the media partition
[09:22] <Squee> level1, I've only used hauppauge, so just google around and see what others have said about it
[09:22] <antony> i get "couldnt execute binary file" when i run the sh command on it. What should i do now
[09:22] <kallepersson> I have some problems with my wireless network, when I connect it only goes up to 30% and doesn't work.. Even though I've got the name/pass right.. Is there any way at all to solve that or am I doomed? It's a D-link wireless card and router
[09:23] <OneSeventeen> Is it possible to add windows fonts (other than the msttcorefonts) to ubuntu?
[09:23] <elad> I've installed kde4. How do I launch it?
[09:23] <OneSeventeen> (considering I have the .ttf files for the font)
[09:23] <kingKonqueror> elad: startkde
[09:24] <kallepersson> OneSeventeen, easy solution: put them in ~/.fonts/
[09:24] <kallepersson> Anyone?
[09:24] <kallepersson> Any help would be greatly apprechiated.
[09:24] <erUSUL> Gizmo_the_Great: dunno what may be happen... maybe some how boinc uses this? http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6799
[09:24] <OneSeventeen> kallepersson: if the directory doesn't exist, does that make a difference, or do I just create it?  (yes I am showing hidden files and folders)
[09:24] <caner_> DShepherd actually i already know the password. and after the extraction is finished the password window pops up again giving wrong password error. and deletes the whole thing it has extracted. here is what i wonder. how could it extract the 99% of the file if the pas is incorrect? i even cannot extract a rar file using ubuntu :(
[09:24] <kallepersson> OneSeventeen, yes
[09:24] <kallepersson> I think.
[09:24] <elad> kingKonqueror, how do I add it to the possible-sessions list in (I'm guessing) GDM?
[09:25] <OneSeventeen> kallepersson: thanks, I'll give it a go!
[09:25] <elad> running "kdestart" from the terminal gives me several erros, and no kde.
[09:25] <Squee> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a roomates laptop, and it starts booting the live cd then just drops to a shell... anybody have any ideas on what I can try?

I have a 36" older 1080i capable fullscreen (not widescreen TV) which I just managed after a long struggle to get working with Ubuntu via the component out port on my videocard /// i am currently using 480i 720X480 .... if i want to get 1080i ... what resolution should I use??? I tried 1920X1080 and it was huge overscan (could only see the middle of the screen) and i tried 1024X7

[09:31] <crackintosh> has anyone been able to get hosting a samba share to work out of the box on ubuntu?
[09:31] <crackintosh> there is so much work that goes into it.
[09:32] <bipolar> Has anybody else noticed openoffice.org crashing when opening documents created in non-ubuntu versions?
[09:32] <DShepherd> bipolar, nope.
[09:33] <EvanCarroll> is there a room I can go to if I have a technical question and not something gnome related?
[09:33] <bipolar> I've got two ubuntu feisty installs with the exact same issue
[09:33] <DShepherd> bipolar, thats not happening with me
[09:33] <DShepherd> EvanCarroll, here?
[09:33] <IdleOne> EvanCarroll, ask away and if need be we will redirect
[09:33] <yoshibond> hi everyone! thanks for any help anyone can provide. I have a 36" older 1080i capable fullscreen (not widescreen TV) which I just managed after a long struggle to get working with Ubuntu via the component out port on my videocard /// i am currently using 480i 720X480 .... if i want to get 1080i ... what resolution should I use??? I tried 1920X1080 and it was huge overscan (could only see the middle of the screen) and i tried 1024X7
[09:33] <yoshibond> 68 and it only showed the whole screen in a box in the center about 1/4 the size of my TV ./... any help would be awesome!
[09:34] <animal> HELP me plz when i try to watch a movie with TOTEM MOVIE PLAYER it says ERROR:  internat data flow error
[09:34] <animal> why ?
[09:34] <EvanCarroll> the nagios2 package, is borked on my system, it won't let me uninstall it (because it fails a script_ and I can't install it, becuase it fails a script, and forcing it isn't working either because the dpkg documentation sucks donkey nuts.
[09:34] <bipolar> this document crashes oo on both of them. I'm downloading the windows version now for my vmware install to do some more testing.
[09:34] <animal> what should i do ?
[09:34] <EvanCarroll> I've tried --force-all [-r|-i]  and apt's --reinstall install
[09:34] <IdleOne> EvanCarroll, sudo apt-get -f install see if it fixes it
[09:34] <EvanCarroll> IdleOne: won't work, uninstall script.
[09:34] <slrazer> im trying to install openssh-server and it say media chnage: please insert the disk labelled `ubuntu-server 7.04 _feisty fawn_ -release i386` in the ` /cdrom/` and press enter..... but wen i press enter NATHING hapens...
[09:34] <feb> hi, is here the right place to ask questions strange things happening with the gcc toolset in ubuntu ?
[09:35] <trompetenkaefer> @animal try to reinstall your totem player with the gstreamer plugins
[09:35] <crackintosh> animal: go lookup the resolution of 1080i
[09:35] <bullgard4> I have got an error message: "The resume partition is not set up. Probably you need to add a 'resume=...' option to your kernel command line and reboot." Where can I find the 'kernel command line'?
[09:35] <crackintosh> or try 1366x768
[09:35] <animal> look-up what ?
[09:35] <EvanCarroll> IdleOne: invoke-rc.d: initscript nagios2, action "stop" failed.
[09:35] <animal> how to reinstall ?
[09:35] <crackintosh> the resolution in pixels used by a 1080i tv
[09:35] <trompetenkaefer> go in synaptic and select the packages totem etc. with the option "reinstall"
[09:36] <IdleOne> EvanCarroll, maybe it needs sudo? not sure
[09:36] <crackintosh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution
[09:36] <EvanCarroll> bullgard4: /boot/grub/menu.list
[09:36] <animal> and how do i know that resolution ?
[09:36] <guestt> find the limit if it exists or show that it does not exist.   lim(x,y)->(0,0)  2yx^2/(x^2+y^2)
[09:36] <crackintosh> you said you have a 1080i tv right?
[09:36] <EvanCarroll> IdleOne: I've been using debian for 7yrs. this is a much more complex problem than that.
[09:36] <guestt> i get 0,   anyone else??
[09:36] <el_taco> ok, my windows partition is /dev/hda1 and ubuntu on /dev/hda3 I want to purge the windows partiton my question isn't the mbr on the windows partition or is that before it?
[09:36] <gluttony> my sound has complely stopped working. it used to work, like when i booted up and what not. but now i have no sound. anyone know what to do
[09:36] <IdleOne> EvanCarroll, sorry it is way above me then
[09:36] <keito> PLEASE HELP>>>having trouble with games when setting res to 1280x1024.  my desktop is set to 1280 and there's no problems but in games it just freezes.  ANy IDEAS?
[09:37] <trompetenkaefer> wich soundcard do you have? an intel 97?
[09:37] <EvanCarroll> el_taco: the mbr isn't on a partition.
[09:37] <trevor_> hello
[09:37] <trompetenkaefer> hi
[09:37] <EvanCarroll> el_taco: google for mbr, it is always on the first sector of the hard drive.
[09:37] <EvanCarroll> el_taco: which nothing will parition over.
[09:37] <el_taco> EvanCarroll, it has a boot flag on the partition tho.
[09:38] <bullgard4> EvanCarroll: I will try. Thank you.
[09:38] <notgod> can anyone tell me how to restore a start-up script for a removed package? I removed the package, deleted the init.d script, then re-installed. The start-up script is not coming back.
[09:38] <bannerman> level1: is there a particular reason not to raid swap? I'm a bigger fan of uptime than performance.
[09:39] <level1> bannerman: well, you can simulate it using fstab
[09:39] <EvanCarroll> el_taco: the mbr is most definitly not on the windows parition, and because window's has a shitty boot loader, you probably aren't using that either, so it is most probably safe to "purge" or nuke the win partition.
[09:39] <el_taco> here I go... <fingers crossed>
[09:39] <level1> bannerman: see, if you create multiple swap pratitions over multiple hard drives and write them all into fstab in the same way, the kernel will raid 0 over all of them
[09:39] <EvanCarroll> notgod: try to apt-get --reinstall install it.
[09:39] <keito> el_taco: are you using grub?
[09:40] <el_taco> keito yes.
[09:40] <EvanCarroll> level1: do you know that to be a fact?
[09:40] <keito> then you shouldn't have an issue
[09:40] <level1> EvanCarroll: it said that in a webpage
[09:40] <level1> !raid
[09:40] <ubotu> Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[09:40] <keito> el_taco: think that grub might need editing afterwards to remove the win entry
[09:40] <bannerman> level1: yeah, but raid 0 basically means if any disk crashes, my uptime is gone
[09:41] <bannerman> level1: I'd rather run raid 1
[09:41] <EvanCarroll> level1: i think that is the wrong terminology.
[09:41] <notgod> EvanCarroll: tried that, no luck.
[09:41] <OneSeventeen> kallepersson: dragging the fonts to the .fonts folder worked great!
[09:41] <level1> bannerman: well, I don't know.  My computer never, ever swaps, so I only need it for hibernating
[09:41] <soundray> How can I make gcc-3.4 and friends the default instead of -4.1? There doesn't seem to be a way with update-alternatives.
[09:42] <jarle__> Which package do I need to install to get the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ directory?
[09:42] <level1> bannerman: but I guess you can do raid 1 swap if your really that concerned... but the kernel stuff shouldn't be swapped, so I wouldn't think that even a hard disk crash would break it
[09:42] <level1> bannerman: why do you need super uptime?  are you running a server?
[09:42] <bannerman> level1: yes.
[09:42] <SpComb> how do I set the keyboard layout on a system level? I.e. so that it applies on startup on the terminal, login screen and the default for Gnome sessions?
[09:43] <SpComb> I set it to the finnish layout when I installed it, but for whatever reason it's now the US English layout
[09:43] <EvanCarroll> even a raid1 swap on the world's fastest platter based moving-parts harddrive, would be a magnitude of a thousands of times slower than any modern ram
[09:44] <linux_> how i can change my ip ?
[09:44] <keito> anyone else experienced X crash when playing games at 1280*1024
[09:44] <keito> anyone know a fix?
[09:44] <kingKonqueror> linux_: do you have a static IP or what?
[09:44] <jarle__> linux_: ifconfig
[09:44] <sleepwalkers> keito: I'm a bit of a newbie, however I'd assume that's some sort of driver issue.
[09:44] <linux_> kingKonqueror , no
[09:45] <jarle__> linux_: or in the system settings..
[09:45] <notgod> jeebus. wish apt-get removed start-up scripts you no longer use because you deleted the package. :)
[09:45] <annoia> I've booted off the ubuntu unstall-CD, but it can't start X... How do I install from a terminal?
[09:45] <keito> sleepwalkers: I am running ati which I'm guessing is probably the issue
[09:45] <bannerman> EvanCarroll: level1 is right, according to the guides and crap that I've been reading.
[09:45] <trompetenkaefer>  @annoia you have to download the alternate disc for installing in text mode
[09:46] <ricre1> Can anyone help me out with some sound problems?
[09:46] <sleepwalkers> Keito: Yeah, AFAIK ATI still has pretty poor Linux driver support. Does it happen with almost every game, or just one in particular?
[09:46] <keito> sleepwalkers: want to make sure it is before upgrading to nVidia, as if the problem remains afterwards I'll want to destroy my box with a sledgehammer
[09:46] <trompetenkaefer> which sound card do you have?
[09:46] <annoia> trompetenkaefer - There's no text-mode command for installing it on the normal CD? :(
[09:46] <ricre1> Everything worked in a fresh install, but all of the sudden it won't play anymore
[09:46] <trompetenkaefer> hmm i havent seen one yet
[09:46] <kingKonqueror> linux_: if you're on DHCP then, you'll just sometimes get a new one from your DHCP server... if you're behind a NAT router (i.e. your DHCP doesn't come from your ISP) then you can give yourself a static IP outside the range assigned by the router, using one of the methods mentioned
[09:46] <keito> sleepwalkers: Nexuiz crashes when set to 32bit mode
[09:46] <trompetenkaefer> have you an intel 97 sound card
[09:47] <keito> sleepwalkers: can't run team eilte at anything higher than 1024.768
[09:47] <sleepwalkers> Hm. I would call that a driver issue and not a game bug, especially if strange things are happening in more than one game.
[09:47] <keito> sleepwalkers: same goes for enemy territory
[09:47] <bullgard4> My Ubuntu 7.04 includes 1794 files having 'kconfig' in its name. Which one is the most important?
[09:47] <ricre1> no some sound blaster live
[09:47] <sleepwalkers> I have an older nVidia card and haven't experienced any problems like that.
[09:47] <ricre1> is my sound card
[09:47] <sleepwalkers> Ti4600
[09:48] <linux_> kingKonqueror , im directly connected to dinamic ip with cable modem on eth1
[09:48] <keito> sleepwalkers: can't get sauerbraten to compile for love nor money either even though all dep's are met (as far as I can tell)
[09:48] <trompetenkaefer> oh, i had that problem with my intel sound card, there is a workaround for solving that problem
[09:48] <ricre1> The weird thing is that everything worked perfectly well off a fresh install
[09:48] <bullgard4> /proc/acpi/embedded_controller/EC0/info lists "gpe:0x17". Does 'gpe' here stand for 'GPE Palmtop Environment'?
[09:48] <sleepwalkers> Keito: Try more money. :P I don't know why that'd be happening.
[09:49] <ricre1> And the only things I've installed since then are apache, rails, and gvim
[09:49] <keito> sleepwalkers: ? more money?
[09:49] <el_taco> now do I need to add the boot flag to the ubuntu partition or is it not necessary cause grub is handling it?
[09:49] <sleepwalkers> Keito: Just a lame joke. Don't worry 'bout it.
[09:49] <ricre1> so I can't imagine what would have changed that would mess with the sound
[09:49] <keito> sleepwalkers: ;0) I'm in the market for a 768MB nVidia anyway
[09:49] <unagi> is it possible to convert dvr-ms to mov in linux?
[09:50] <Borat> Hey guys can someone help me with cpufreq-selector on my centrino m? I am having problems making it work,
[09:50] <lockd> ~~
[09:50] <unagi> whats with the mistmatched MB on video cards these days
[09:50] <keito> sleepwalkers: gonna want to max the settings for quake wars!!!!!!!!!
[09:50] <sleepwalkers> Keito: Yeah, if you're a mostly (or only) Linux guy, nVidia is still the way to go.
[09:50] <sleepwalkers> Keito: Oh jeez. Quake Wars. Can't wait!
[09:50] <lockd> keito: can you pastebin sauerbraten compile fail?
[09:50] <keito> sleepwalkers: i switched completely to ubuntu after my MBR became corrupted due to a crappy power supply
[09:51] <sleepwalkers> Keito: Good move. :)
[09:51] <lockd> unagi: what's dvr-ms, a video format?
[09:51] <el_taco> I need photoshop so I'm stuck.
[09:51] <unagi> microsofts recording format for media center
[09:51] <lockd> el_taco: I am fairly sure you can use Wine to run photoshop
[09:51] <trompetenkaefer> perhaps searching the launchpad site would help you https://launchpad.net/ubuntu
[09:52] <el_taco> I couldn't get cs2 to run under wine.
[09:52] <notgod> can anyone tell me how to restore a start-up script for a removed package? I removed the package, deleted the init.d script, then re-installed. The start-up script is not coming back.
[09:52] <keito> lockd: I managed to get it to compile but I'm sure something has messed up as it creates a sauer_client but after running that x goes to 800*600 & crashes out
[09:52] <gordonjcp> set host togusa
[09:52] <gordonjcp> bah
[09:52] <jarle__> how can I show a list of packages that will install files in /lib/modules/ (or a subdir)?
[09:53] <lockd> unagi: ffmpeg can convert a lot, but there are reports of it not working on the soundtrack
[09:53] <soundray> !apt-file | jarle__
[09:53] <ubotu> jarle__: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update"
[09:53] <keito> sleepwalkers: yep I'm happy so far but I need some windows apps for work and now I'm reluctant to install virtualbox or others as when windows goes on it can potentially make my nice secure ubuntu into an unsecure os again like xp
[09:53] <unagi> i just need the vid
[09:53] <keito> as far as I've read into it anyway
[09:54] <soundray> jarle__: actually, I think only the linux-image-* packages install under that path
[09:54] <richard_> 1100 people and nobody knows where the "trash" goes ?
[09:54] <lockd> unagi: then ffmpeg should work, but what's it for?
[09:54] <Mishu> How can i check what time is it on my remote shell machine?
[09:54] <el_taco> keito on my box at home I installed vmware server and used the existing windows install and it works like a champ.
[09:55] <unagi> i need to convert dvr-ms to mov to png or from dvr-ms straight to png so i can work with it
[09:55] <lockd> unagi: oh
[09:55] <soundray> richard_: don't be daft. If you don't get a reply, you may have to repeat your question.
[09:55] <el_taco> well.. only problem is that it didn't want to use 1680x1050 screen res
[09:55] <richard_> soundray: Sorry, wasn't trying to be rude
[09:55] <disasm> texlive and dvi don't want to seem to work together with command "\includegraphics" :( If I reinstall tetex all works well. Keep getting error dvips: Could not find figure file when i generate the dvi with texlive...
[09:56] <lockd> unagi: ffmpeg should do that, probably could just "ffmpeg infile outfile.mov"
[09:56] <jarle__> soundray: I try to compile a module and it seems like I am missing the "build" directory in my /lib/modules/<mykernel>/ so I'm trying to figure out which package I'm missing...
[09:56] <el_taco> jarle__ linux-headers and build-essential?
[09:56] <richard_> I accidentally hit CTRL+T  nautilus had the focus, apparently this moves things to the "trash" without any warning... So I'm trying to find this mystical "trash" so I can get back my family vaction photos...
