[09:55] <linuxnooblah> whys that?
[09:55] <xehp> because pb are lame
[09:56] <xehp> they broke it on purpouse
[09:56] <Ivan> lol
[09:56] <cinone01> eck: does it have phpmyadmin?..or should i install it separately
[09:57] <eck> you can install phpmyadmin separately, i think it is its own package
[09:57] <Ivan> linuxnoob do you have wine installed right now?
[09:57] <linuxnooblah> not yet
[09:57] <Agiofws> hello
[09:57] <Ivan> wont the link i used to install it?
[09:57] <linuxnooblah> im reading/googlevid howto
[09:57] <Agiofws> isthere a page url that explains how to enable or disable services in ubuntu
[09:57] <cinone01> ok thanks ill be back if i have another question..thanks
[09:57] <eck> cinone01: for mod_php you might also have to grab libapache2-mod-php5
[09:58] <Ivan> it took me like 1 hour to install wine
[09:58] <Ivan> sucked
[09:58] <linuxnooblah> oshizza
[09:58] <Ivan> cuz it had to get all the packages
[09:58] <linuxnooblah> pass me link
[09:58] <Ivan> hold on
[09:59] <linuxnooblah> btw firefox did connect to my router
[09:59] <linuxnooblah> it jsut took fkn ages
[09:59] <Agiofws> is there a page or url that explains how to enable or disable services in ubuntu
[09:59] <gandalfcome> Im using tcsh. How can I add a whole directory tree to the search path?
[09:59] <gandalfcome> thanks in advance
[09:59] <eck> Agiofws: i would install sysv-rc-conf
[09:59] <Agiofws> eck,  i would like to do it manually
[09:59] <eck> Agiofws: there is a builtin CLI tool, but it is not easy to use (it has a man page, i just forget what it is called)
[10:00] <eck> i think it is update-rc.d
[10:00] <Agiofws> do i just chmod scripts in  /etc/init.d ?
[10:00] <eck> no
[10:01] <eck> if you read the man page, it explains how debian style init scripts work... it is basically a complicated symlink system
[10:01] <svg> where do i find xchat-gnome specific conf files?
[10:01] <linuxnooblah> brb Ivan
[10:01] <lynucs> BC--: ?
[10:02] <cassidy> svg: .xchat2/xchat.conf and in gconf
[10:02] <Ivan> http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb
[10:02] <Ivan> thats the site
[10:02] <Ivan> it tells how to download and install with just a few commands
[10:03] <svg> cassidy: thx; i copied my .xchat/ from backup and was missing wome settings - guess I'll have to look in gconf then
[10:04] <eck> it looks like /etc/init.d/README explains the init system more clearly
[10:05] <flaccid> what sort of bot is ubotu?

[10:14] <ferronica> how to open .rar file?
[10:14] <zulfajuniadi> yes, thanks
[10:14] <LinuxProbie> !rar |  ferronica
[10:14] <ubotu> ferronica: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[10:14] <zulfajuniadi> ferronica: apt-get install rar
[10:16] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: to open .rar file in ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[10:16] <ferronica> 20th-bsmpr.r00
[10:17] <zulfajuniadi> ferronica:  Isn't that a milti-part rar file?
[10:17] <zulfajuniadi> ferronica:  Isn't that a multi-part rar file?
[10:17] <cafuego_> it is, and we don't help people unpack pirated anime.
[10:17] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: yes
[10:17] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: total 20
[10:17] <piotrek> What i must install to have codecs to films in Ubuntu FF ?
[10:18] <zulfajuniadi> ferronica: i think you have to open the original one (the one with .rar ext)
[10:18] <cafuego_> zulfajuniadi: we don't help people unpack pirated anime.
[10:18] <zulfajuniadi> piotrek: what codecs do you need?
[10:18] <zulfajuniadi> cafuego: =P
[10:19] <piotrek> Avi, wmv, mpg ... ALL
[10:19] <mikebeecham> Hi there, I dont suppose anyone knows how I can network my Mac and Ubuntu together?
[10:19] <cafuego_> zulfajuniadi: Not publicly on the channel anyway.
[10:19] <zulfajuniadi> piotrek: apt-get install easybuntu
[10:20] <Zyn> hmm.  I appear to have a new problem.  I loaded stepmania, it started up and gave me a black screen.  I quit and i have a black screen with a mouse cursor.  What do i do now?
[10:20] <stutter> hi can anyone tell me a good download manager that works well with firefox 2?  I'm using edgy
[10:20] <zulfajuniadi> cafuego_ : maybe its not illegal, just a normal multi-part rar archive?
[10:20] <cafuego_> zulfajuniadi: google sez otherwise :-P
[10:21] <cafuego_> "Black.Snake.Moan.PROPER.REPACK.TS.XViD-20th"
[10:21] <zulfajuniadi> cafuego_ oops, my bad =)
[10:21] <LinuxProbie> sounds like porn...
[10:21] <zelexus> hehe
[10:21] <Zyn> yah, that's what i thought
[10:22] <Zyn> so, uhm, can anyone tell me how i fix this issue?
[10:22] <cafuego_> whatever it is, it's not on topic in #ubuntu
[10:22] <zelexus> snakes in porn?
[10:22] <zulfajuniadi> kinda kinky lol
[10:22] <Chousuke> anyway, you can unpack multi-part rars by running rar on the file that has the .rar extension
[10:22] <zelexus> kinda freaky!
[10:23] <LinuxProbie> an it'll unpack the rest
[10:23] <Chousuke> yeah.
[10:23] <mneptok> what is it with people and rar files?
[10:23] <Zyn> Ok, so, black screen, responsive mouse cursor, nfc what to do now... anyone?
[10:24] <mneptok> the algorithm bites, in's propruetary, and free tools can do the same thing
[10:24] <LinuxProbie> its not the rar that annoys...it's the multipart that's frustrating
[10:24] <mneptok> Zyn: ctl-alt-backspace
[10:24] <mikebeecham> Does anyone know how I can network linux to my Mac?
[10:24] <spectrm> network'd how?
[10:24] <mneptok> mikebeecham: what are you trying to do?
[10:24] <Zyn> mneptok: nothing happened
[10:24] <zulfajuniadi> no idea Zyn
[10:24] <Chousuke> connect them with crossover cable and set up the NICs to have IPs from the sam subnet? :)
[10:25] <mneptok> Zyn: X is hung. alt-f2
[10:25] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Easiest is probably to use samba on linux
[10:25] <spectrm> anyone know how to change the alsa hook in rhythmbox to PCM instead of the Main channel?
[10:25] <Chousuke> same*
[10:25] <mneptok> cafuego_: easiest is sshd on botnh ;)
[10:25] <Zyn> Ok, did alt-f2, nothing
[10:25] <mikebeecham> mneptok....there are some folders on my linux machine that I want to be able to access on my mac, which sits directly next to it
[10:25] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: And then GO > Connect to server > \\ip.from.linux/box\
[10:25] <cinone01> eck: how can i start the server now?..
[10:25] <zulfajuniadi> I thought samba was for windows network only
[10:25] <mdious> mikebeecham:  I don't know much about mac, but i assume this article might help (Building a heterogeneous home network for Linux and Mac OS X(:  http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/31/1416242&tid=92&tid=2&tid=6&tid=138
[10:25] <cafuego_> sorry smb://linux.box.ip/
[10:25] <spectrm> mikebeecham: samba should do it
[10:25] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: Reading package lists... Done
[10:25] <ferronica> Building dependency tree... Done

[10:26] <mneptok> mikebeecham: turn on "remote login" in OSX's sharing prefs and then login via SFTP
[10:26] <mikebeecham> cafuego...any chance I can pm you about this...I struggle with all the text scrolling up
[10:26] <mikebeecham> or anyone else!!!!!
[10:26] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: 'sudo apt-get install samba'
[10:26] <mikebeecham> dafeugo
[10:26] <mneptok> cafuego_: i wouldn't recommend Samba to new users, personally
[10:26] <Zyn> mneptok: what do i do after alt-f2 fails?
[10:26] <cafuego_> mneptok: beats netatalk
[10:27] <mneptok> Zyn: power off
[10:27] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: samba installed
[10:27] <mneptok> cafuego_: sshd
[10:27] <zulfajuniadi> ferronica: use command line, unrar xxxx.rar, i think
[10:27] <cinone01> anyone how can i start apache on ubuntu
[10:27] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: ok
[10:27] <zulfajuniadi> cinone01: httpd
[10:27] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Ok, System > Administration > Shared Folders
[10:27] <mneptok> cinone01: sudo invoke-rc.d httpd start
[10:28] <Ivan> wow i need to fine some thing to do on here lol
[10:28] <|stefan|> Is there any easy way to upgrade to 7.04 ?
[10:28] <zulfajuniadi> cinone01: try "apache2" too
[10:28] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: opened up that window and have added my folders in....anything else?
[10:28] <Ivan> get'in a lil board
[10:29] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Basically, you can now connect to GO> Connect to server... > smb://linux.box.address/    from your mac.
[10:29] <cinone01> i received this error invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/httpd not found.
[10:29] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: do I need to know the IP address?
[10:29] <Zyn> mneptok - i broke it good.  It told me it couldnt start x and dumped me at a terminal, telling me to start x when it was configured correctly
[10:29] <cinone01> im new in using linux so bear on me
[10:29] <mneptok> cinone01: did you install apache?
[10:29] <MrDevil> hi to all
[10:29] <MrDevil> I have a problem with compiz, while I am writing on forum or I am installing programs, jams all, and I do not succeed to move mouse and the keyboard :(
[10:29] <zulfajuniadi> |stefan|: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:30] <mneptok> Zyn: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:30] <weijie902> brb
[10:30] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Yup, you can find out by running `ifconfig' in a terminal.
[10:30] <cinone01> mneptok:yeah sudo apt-get install apache
[10:30] <mneptok> zulfajuniadi: that will not upgrade to Feisty
[10:30] <MrDevil> someone knows the problem?
[10:30] <cafuego_> compiz sucks?
[10:31] <spectrm> MrDevil: I echo cafuego
[10:31] <spectrm> MrDevil: do Beryl - more configurable and more solid
[10:31] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: I am now getting an error message on the mac.   I went to Go > Connect to Server....then typed in smb://linux.box.<IP_ADDRESS>/
[10:31] <cafuego_> spectrm: Well, you got that half right away ;-)
[10:31] <mneptok> MrDevil: #ubuntu-effects for compositing questions, please
[10:31] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[10:31] <|stefan|> zulfajuniadi no that doesn't work
[10:32] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: just the address :-)
[10:32] <MrDevil> mneptok, beryl it has given the same problem to me
[10:32] <mneptok> |stefan|: wait for release
[10:32] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: oooooooooooh
[10:32] <mneptok> MrDevil: #ubuntu-effects for compositing questions, please. last time.
[10:32] <Belboz99> hey all, is this syntax correct?
[10:32] <MrDevil> mneptok, ok, thanks
[10:32] <Ivan> hey when i click right click on my menu >add to panel >disk mounter nothing happens
[10:32] <zulfajuniadi> |stefan|: what ver are you using now?
[10:32] <|stefan|> mneptok getting pretty annoyed about the current ati drivers in edgy =)
[10:32] <|stefan|> zulfajuniadi edgy
[10:32] <Belboz99> export CFLAGS="-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=prescott -s"
[10:32] <zulfajuniadi> better u dl the livecd
[10:32] <zulfajuniadi> istall from there
[10:32] <mneptok> |stefan|: you think Feisty will be different?
[10:32] <cafuego_> No, #gentoo is there -->
[10:33] <Zyn> mneptokL I don't know most of these options... is there a way to make it run the autodetect it did on install?
[10:33] <|stefan|> mneptok i know it's different the 8.28.08 version is bugged.
[10:33] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: sorry mate, but it's asking me for a password...not sure what one this would be?
[10:33] <cafuego_> Belboz99: syntax for compiling what?
[10:33] <cinone01> mneptok: any idea
[10:33] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: :(
[10:33] <Belboz99> cafuego wine, using git
[10:33] <ferronica> zulfajuniadi: error
[10:33] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Should be your linux password
[10:33] <spectrm> dammit...rhythmbox controls a pre-amp volume doesn't it?
[10:33] <cafuego_> Belboz99: aaargh
[10:33] <zulfajuniadi> problem whilst downloading maybe ferronica?
[10:33] <mneptok> cinone01: ?
[10:33] <cinone01> here is what i use to install it apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5
[10:33] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: not accepting it
[10:34] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Ok, on Linux, run `smbpasswd' as user and set yourself a new samba password.
[10:34] <cinone01> mneptok: unknown initscript error
[10:34] <mdious> cafuego:  sorry for stupid question, if mikebeecham created a user with same id/pass in /etc/passwd as is on his mac...would it then not ask for a password?
[10:34] <QRZ> cinone01: The init script you are looking for is called, "apache2"
[10:34] <mneptok> cinone01: so find out the real name of the init script
[10:34] <cinone01> ok
[10:34] <QRZ> cinone01: So do, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start"
[10:34] <mneptok> mdious: no.
[10:35] <cafuego_> mdious: I'm pretty sure mine asks each time until i tell it to store the details in the keychain, even if the suer/pass are identical.
[10:35] <Zyn> mneptok: I don't know most of these options... is there a way to make it run the autodetect it did on install?
[10:35] <mneptok> mdious: that's what ssh key sessions are for
[10:35] <mneptok> Zyn: nope
[10:35] <mneptok> Zyn: this is mhy if you don't know how soething works you *don't take it apart*
[10:35] <mdious> mneptok:  thanks for the info
[10:35] <mdious> cafuego:  thanks
[10:36] <mikebeecham> cafuego_:
[10:36] <mikebeecham> Could not connect to machine <IP_ADDRESS>: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[10:36] <mikebeecham> Failed to change password for mikebeecham
[10:36] <Zyn> i didnt take it apart
[10:36] <Zyn> Stepmania did
[10:36] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: I got that message
[10:36] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: <IP_ADDRESS>??
[10:36] <stutter> hi can anyone tell me a good download manager that works well with firefox 2?  I'm using edgy
[10:36] <mikebeecham> I know...strange as thats not my ip...I run through a router
[10:36] <zulfajuniadi> stutter: try downthemall!, a plugin for firefox
[10:36] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost (by definition)
[10:37] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: I'm really confused here...only been using linux a week or so
[10:37] <heaser> hello
[10:37] <Zyn> I'm sorry.  I simply tried to get an app with a linux binary that worked flawlessly in windows to work on my install.
[10:37] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: maybe mneptok has a point
[10:37] <twiztr> Yay for finding a way to download free music from a full song preview link!
[10:37] <Peppery> ?
[10:38] <mneptok> Zyn: Ubuntu has a package system. until you learn more, do not try to install and run anything outside the package system.
[10:38] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: this is a little beyond me
[10:38] <mdious> I'm off, cya's.
[10:38] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: that's ok, hold on.
[10:38] <zulfajuniadi> i agree with mneptok
[10:38] <yetist> hello
[10:38] <twiztr> yetist: Hey
[10:39] <twiztr> Irssi is by far the best IRC client I have found...
[10:39] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: ssh/sftp are an easier way. Go to http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/download.html and donload Fugu on your Mac.
[10:39] <zulfajuniadi> xchat is not bad
[10:39] <yetist> Irssi? I use xchat-gnome.
[10:39] <heaser> how do i disable this in ubuntu server [ 3996.141177]  serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[10:39] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: On Linux you'll need to run 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server'
[10:39] <heaser> [ 3996.141177]  serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
[10:39] <twiztr> I mean, for terminal, not GUI.
[10:40] <cafuego_> heaser: That's just the serial port driver getting loaded
[10:40] <zulfajuniadi> owh
[10:40] <heaser> anyone know ?
[10:40] <Zyn> mneptok: am i going to have to reinstall the whole system now?  i ran the config as best i could, tried startx and got Fatal server error: no screens found
[10:40] <heaser> cafuego_:  so i disable its module ?
[10:40] <twiztr> yetist: Yea, go in terminal sudo aptitude install irssi
[10:40] <twiztr> then irssi to run it
[10:40] <yetist> never use xchat for terminal.
[10:40] <cafuego_> heaser: You could blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[10:40] <heaser> cafuego_:  what else ?
[10:40] <cafuego_> that's it
[10:40] <heaser> can i do in in another way ?
[10:40] <twiztr> yetist: I didn't think there was a xchat terminal.
[10:41] <cafuego_> heaser: You could remove the moduels from disk
[10:41] <yetist> twiztr: ok, installing...
[10:41] <WorldDomination> hey
[10:41] <Jbirdie> is >>-ThErE-> a live distro of ver 6.10?
[10:41] <heaser> cafuego_:  in kernel you mean ?
[10:41] <mneptok> Zyn: yup. sounds like your X cofig is totally FUBAR. it could be fixed, but it's prolly faster for you to just reinstall. and while you do it, repeat the mantra "i will only use software from official repositories."
[10:41] <cafuego_> heaser: from /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
[10:41] <heaser> where is the file that load the modules ? cafuego_  ?
[10:41] <heaser> loads*
[10:42] <mneptok> heaser: just disable the port in the BIOS if you don't use it.
[10:42] <cafuego_> heaser: For serial? None. it gets loaded either at bootup, by the hardware detection or by udev when an app tries to access the serial port.
[10:42] <Zyn> mneptok: Lol.  If the official repository ddr-clone worked instead of dying instantly, i wouldnt have had to.
[10:42] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: have installed on both....what should I do now?
[10:42] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: Now start fugu on your mac
[10:42] <mneptok> Zyn: you *had* to install a DDR clone? lives hung in the balance?
[10:42] <compengi> Jbirdie, sure
[10:43] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: and connect to <IP_ADDRESS> - with your normal linux login details
[10:43] <heaser> cafuego_:  mneptok  its a Vm machine so i don't need parport
[10:43] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: it should bring up a split finder type window
[10:43] <mneptok> "If DDR is not on this Ubuntu box in the next 7 minutes the reactor will go critical!"
[10:43] <cafuego_> heaser: serial != parport
[10:43] <heaser> is there a line that loads it so i can disable it  or is the module in the kernel ?
[10:43] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: it's done...and I can browse my linux from the mac
[10:43] <heaser> oh ye sorry
[10:43] <yetist> twiztr:  does irssi support unicode ?
[10:43] <twiztr> yetist: once its running, read the quick howto on it, its a great proggy if you ever are in a textonly terminal (ssh to you box or something, its a great proggy
[10:43] <heaser> i ment serial
[10:43] <Flannel> yetist, twiztr, yep
[10:43] <twiztr> yea, it does
[10:43] <Zyn> mneptok: There wouldnt be much point in changing OS's to one that doesn't run what i need to run, would there be?
[10:43] <mneptok> heaser: just disable the port in the BIOS if you don't use it.
[10:44] <mneptok> Zyn: i din't tell you to change OSes.
[10:44] <cafuego_> yetist: sr de
[10:44] <heaser> mneptok:  i wouldlike to controll my os
[10:44] <heaser> even a Vm os
[10:44] <cafuego_> mikebeecham: cool. shoudl just be drag&drop from here
[10:44] <heaser> and can i also disable  parport ?
[10:44] <twiztr> config
[10:44] <twiztr> damnit.
[10:44] <mneptok> heaser: trust me, disable it in the BIOS and you control the OS
[10:45] <heaser> mneptok:  its a Virtual  OS
[10:45] <mneptok> heaser: disabling modules is tricky
[10:45] <Jbirdie> i have been all over the website and cant find it, i have one for ver 5 but cant find one for ver 6, can you tell me where to look?
[10:45] <heaser> thats why slack is simpler
[10:45] <mikebeecham> cafuego_: it is...thank you SO much for your help mate
[10:45] <heaser> anyway
[10:45] <Zyn> mneptok:  That's completely accurate.  I chose to attempt to migrate from windows to have cleaner teeth, perfect hair, and to be a better human being.  You're the individual in this channel who's been supplying me with some help on the subject, for which i am grateful.
[10:45] <mneptok> heaser: you will need to re-blacklist everything every time your kernel is updated
[10:45] <syock> How is shell variable saved? Is there a separate variable of the same name for super-users? I`m having trouble with the suspend/resume script.
[10:45] <heaser> ok say i do  it in blacklist
[10:45] <cafuego_> heaser: Aha!
[10:46] <heaser> but  how do i  know  the exact name of the module to blacklist ?
[10:46] <cafuego_> heaser: "alias char-major-4 off"  in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases I think.
[10:46] <compengi> Jbirdie, do you have an intel computer?
[10:46] <cafuego_> Lwet me just double-check
[10:46] <heaser> whats that ?
[10:46] <Jbirdie> yes
[10:46] <mneptok> heaser: huh?
[10:46] <cafuego_> do, don't do that
[10:46] <compengi> Jbirdie, Download URL: http://ftp.citylink.co.nz/ubuntu-releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso
[10:46] <Jbirdie> 6 month old intel core duo by dell
[10:46] <syock> What? GNOME X-Chat looks too simple. I have to reinstall now
[10:47] <heaser> alias char-major-4 off ?
[10:47] <mneptok> heaser: "Slack is easier. How do i blacklist a module?" dude, you blacklist a module *just like in Slackware*
[10:47] <Jbirdie> cool tkz
[10:47] <heaser> mneptok:  i  just do it simpler
[10:47] <heaser> not even blacklist
[10:47] <compengi> Jbirdie, np
[10:48] <heaser> do i have to know the exact name of the moule   to  issue it in blacklist ?
[10:48] <linuxnooblah> Ivan: are u here :D
[10:48] <yetist_> ls
[10:48] <mneptok> heaser: just do it like you do in Slack.
[10:48] <cafuego_> heaser: yes
[10:48] <yetist_> now I use irssi.
[10:48] <heaser> well in slack i just leave it out of the kernel
[10:48] <yetist_> test chinese
[10:48] <kangkang> yetist,  good
[10:48] <linuxnooblah> can anyone link me a noobie guide to installing wine plx
[10:49] <Flannel> !wine | linuxnooblah
[10:49] <ubotu> linuxnooblah: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:49] <yetist_> kangkang: I love you very much.
[10:49] <heaser> and    just   modprobe for everything else in ONE file so i know whqats going on
[10:49] <cafuego_> heaser: Actually no, it's hardcoded in, not a module.
[10:49] <heaser> just want to free some memory space up
[10:49] <linuxnooblah> Flannel is it noobie freindly
[10:49] <cafuego_> heaser: So you're looking at recompiling the kernel.
[10:49] <heaser> cafuego_: hardcoded ?
[10:50] <heaser> you mean  the *" option ?
[10:50] <cafuego_> But if you *need* to free up the 8Kb of ram or so it uses, you have bigger issues.
[10:50] <heaser> its not even  in the kernel ?
[10:50] <cafuego_> heaser: yup
[10:50] <gordonjcp> linuxnooblah: about as noobie friendly as windows ;-)
[10:50] <heaser> oh
[10:50] <heaser> is parport in the kernel
[10:50] <yetist_> hello, guys.
[10:50] <cafuego_> No, parport is a module.
[10:50] <heaser> good
[10:50] <yetist_> !ls
[10:50] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[10:50] <heaser> you know the exactr name ?
[10:51] <cafuego_> `parport'
[10:51] <heaser> kk
[10:51] <linuxnooblah> gordonjcp: sweet
[10:51] <void^> you save *lots* more memory by disabling things like hplip and disabling restricted-modules you don't need
[10:51] <Peppe-> Hi! I just downloaded ubuntu (xubuntu 610, ubuntu 606, ubuntu610, ubuntu feisty herd-4 tested) but they all crash while starting the live cd, going to "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" and busybox. what should i do to get the error messages so that i can figure out what's not working
[10:51] <cafuego_> Or using a 2.2 kernel ;-)
[10:52] <heaser> blacklist parport  just like   that cafuego_  ?
[10:52] <cafuego_> Yup, that *should* be all there is to it.
[10:52] <gordonjcp> linuxnooblah: seriously, some things "just plain work" in Wine, some work with a bit of fiddling, and some are a lost cause
[10:52] <gordonjcp> linuxnooblah: what are you trying to run?
[10:52] <heaser> unloading stuff at boot up  gives me quicker boot up times
[10:52] <heaser> hplip ?
[10:53] <heaser> now what else can i remove from startup
[10:53] <linuxnooblah> ventrilo
[10:53] <linuxnooblah> first time using linux today, im so very lost
[10:53] <cafuego_> void^: I have a Linux 1.2.13 vm :-)

[10:54] <linuxnooblah> gordonjcp: seems like im working so hard to get stuff to work that i jsut double click in windows, but for some reason im compelled to keep trying
[10:54] <Peppe-> can anyone help me figuring out the error?

[11:51] <Seth_S> Question: using xubuntu 6.10 , how do I change the graphical pager to a numbered desktop switcher?
[11:52] <bristol27> I get nervous when it get's quiet in here
[11:52] <vignesh> What is the name of the package I need to view flash movies in totem ?
[11:52] <syock> How long does it take for security updates to be mirrored? Is it safe to replace the main security repository with a local server?
[11:52] <dejand> i'm sys admin, keep installing ubuntu on others empoylers machines, and from time to time somebody tell me he needs this or that libs
[11:52] <syock> How long does it take for security updates to be mirrored? Is it safe to replace the main security repository with a local server?
[11:52] <dejand> how could i ... install "all" libs
[11:52] <dejand> and i'll be safe then :) from them :)
[11:53] <jxn_> dejand: i wouldn't do that
[11:53] <dejand> i would:D
[11:53] <vignesh> Heh..
[11:53] <dejand> we have strong machines:D
[11:53] <dejand> about 400 giga per user:D
[11:54] <vignesh> thats a lot...
[11:54] <syock> dejand, and letting them having to update all those libs as they come out? Waste of bandwidth. Those poor kids
[11:54] <dejand> so:D space is not a problems:D
[11:54] <syock> dejand, gah you`re evil!
[11:54] <dejand> syock bandwidth is not a problem also:D
[11:54] <dejand> it just, they keep calling for every stupid single lib
[11:55] <syock> dejand, yeah, that`s why you`re very evil, you
[11:55] <busfahrer> Excuse me, I'm not sure which part of my system is responsible for this, but deleting a file (I'm using LVM) seems to take longer for large files. How is that possible?
[11:55] <jxn_> dejand: maybe there is a metapackage
[11:56] <syock> dejand: maybe train another admin helper whose job is to just install libs?
[11:56] <Seth_S> Question: using xubuntu 6.10 , how do I change the graphical pager to a numbered desktop switcher?
[11:57] <dejand> syock i think boss wouldn't like that :) cuz that is "my job" :)
[11:57] <dejand> anyway:D

[12:03] <Seth_S> Steil:  sounds like it needs to be configured to use multiple ports instead of a single port
[12:03] <Steil> Seth_S: how can i do that?
[12:03] <Seth_S> Steil:  i don't use that bt client, sorry
[12:05] <bristol27> yep, I believe that port is in use
[12:05] <Zyn> mneptok: Are you still here?

[12:09] <F00BaR`> rofl
[12:09] <jxn_> InvisiblePinkUni: -T
[12:09] <Seth_S> InvisiblePinkUni:  -T  (see "man ping")

[12:09] <jxn_> o0
[12:09] <jxn_> that was loud
[12:10] <InvisiblePinkUni> jxn_: i dont get any time stamp... i tried -T
[12:10] <Zyn> Ok, on a fresh instal of edgy eft, i used the package manager to install the nvidia drivers, restarted x, and got a screenfull of fail.  The error is: NVIDIA:  No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1
[12:10] <Zyn> and then it hits the edge of my screen
[12:10] <Seth_S> InvisiblePinkUni:  RTFM
[12:10] <InvisiblePinkUni> Seth_S: i tried the options given in man ping
[12:11] <PriceChild> !rtfm | Seth_S
[12:11] <ubotu> Seth_S: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[12:11] <Zyn> so can anyone tell me how to fic that one?
[12:11] <Seth_S> whatever
[12:11] <jxn_> Zyn: try a 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' in recovery mode.
[12:12] <Zyn> tried that last time this happened.
[12:12] <jxn_> then choose another graphics driver. eg vesa
[12:13] <DevilInside> i'm on the live cd now
[12:13] <DevilInside> but when i try to install
[12:13] <DevilInside> at 93%
[12:13] <DevilInside> during 'ide-floppy' module loading
[12:13] <DevilInside> computer crash & bip
[12:13] <Zyn> whats the generic root password?

[12:14] <zerg> stupid apt-get keeps connecting at <IP_ADDRESS> >.<
[12:14] <zerg> im getting pissed with this
[12:14] <kalin> hi, i want to enable 1600x1200 resolution, but ubuntu is only showing up to 1280x1024. i see in my xorg.conf that it has a list of resolutions, and i know my monitor supports 1600x1200, but at a lower frequency than the one used atm (85hz).. is there some good way to change this stuff, or is modifying xorg.conf the best way?
[12:15] <zerg> well if you are sure that you monitor supports it, change at xorg.conf, its the better way IMO
[12:16] <kalin> yeah, that's what i used to do in redhat6, i thought there might be a different way now. i need to specify the refresh rate in there somehow too. does the ubuntu resolution display use xorg.conf to get its list of resolutions?
[12:16] <Zyn> jxn_: Thanks, that got it.  Moved my screen an inch to the left of the monitor, but it fixed it
[12:16] <aum> kalin: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:16] <jxn_> Zyn: no problem
[12:16] <zerg> you got me, i dunno ^^
[12:17] <kalin> aum, thanks, i'll check it out
[12:17] <leon_pegg> hello all could anyone help with a wifi card problem (have followed tut on website and got it connected to the network)?
[12:17] <sogen> how i can restart alsamixer setings ?
[12:18] <jxn_> you mean reset
[12:18] <kalin> i remember xwindows used to be able to toggle resolution with ctrl-alt-+/-, is something like this still around?
[12:19] <kalin> aum, if i select some wrong options here, is there some way to revert them safely?
[12:19] <kalin> (to the defaults that ubuntu configured for me originally)
[12:19] <raphael_> kalin: you can set the resolution from the menu
[12:19] <Infernal> how do i keep alive my usb WiFi connection?
[12:19] <aum> kalin: look at console after it finishes, it will tell you where it's put the xorg.conf backup
[12:19] <zerg> he wants a higher res
[12:20] <kalin> raphael_: the menu is only showing 1280x1024@85hz, not even lower resolutions
[12:20] <zerg> that is avaliable on the menu
[12:20] <kalin> sorry, it is showing lower res, but not lower refresh
[12:20] <Zyn> Ok, new question.  I want to run beryl.  Beryl requires that i have drivers for my geforce 6200.  the package manager's 'Nvidia binary x.org driver' just blew up my system, it won't let me install the legacy driver, and i'm too nub to solve this on my own.  Anyone can help with that?
[12:20] <raphael_> kalin: if it is an lcd screen, it is best at a set resolution, anyways
[12:20] <eternaljoy> is there a small ubuntu version that will fit unto a 1 Gig USB drive?
[12:21] <Infernal> help me please
[12:21] <kalin> raphael_: crt, which i used to use at 1600x1200@72, which is preferable :)
[12:21] <bristol27> Infernal..   you have not really said what kind of wifi issue your having
[12:22] <Infernal> after a few seconds the connection seems to be unusable
[12:22] <Ivan> if your mother board suports it you can download the live cd and mabe boot it off the flash drive
[12:22] <bristol27> standard (non secure) or WEP or WPA?
[12:23] <Infernal> i get to press refresh list in channel list to keep connection alive
[12:23] <Ivan> other wize i think the installs like 2 gig
[12:23] <Infernal> wep

[12:27] <CrummyGummy> Hi all, how do I force a reiserfsck on boot?
[12:28] <sogen> how i can set sound settings to deafoult ?
[12:28] <bristol27> you can delete in from the windoze side in control panel/system administration/storage
[12:28] <sogen> default*
[12:28] <bristol27> but you will need to put your windoze disc back in to repair
[12:28] <bristol27> lol
[12:29] <bristol27> kinda sloppy. but that's the way I do it
[12:29] <sogen> how i can set sound settings to default ?
[12:29] <bristol27> Infernal.. try getting new firmware for your router
[12:30] <F00BaR`> i dont have a windows disk
[12:30] <bristol27> then don't do it that way
[12:30] <sogen> how i can set sound settings to default ?
[12:30] <bristol27> like I said.. that is the ugliest way ever to kill a linux partition..  but I had to do it that way once...
[12:31] <bristol27> didn't have my linux disc to edit the partition
[12:31] <bristol27> and was on the road
[12:31] <bristol27> just a few weeks back actually
[12:32] <sogen> how i can set sound settings to default ?^^
[12:32] <bristol27> I didn't know that when I delted the linux partion that I would be unable to boot windoze at the time
[12:32] <bristol27> I got it now.. lol
[12:33] <mike1o> !clone
[12:33] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade" - See also !automate
[12:33] <tom_> hey guys, how can i make kde apps look less ugly
[12:34] <bristol27> wow mikelo..  did not know that
[12:34] <bristol27> killeer
[12:34] <bristol27> killer*
[12:35] <bristol27> that would have saved me a lot of trouble earlier
[12:37] <Jbirdie> aloha
[12:38] <bristol27> aloha

[12:39] <CrummyGummy> How can I force reiserfck on boot?
[12:40] <UB`> CrummyGummy "man reiserfstune"
[12:41] <CrummyGummy> UB`, Its says nothing about that there.
[12:43] <E_mE> is there an emulator that can boot my /media/winxp mount?
[12:43] <leon_pegg> I have setup ubuntu compiled and installed installed the RT61 drivers for my DWL-G510 C2 card connected to the network added a dns to /etc/resolv.conf can now ping internal and external ips can visit websites by typeing there ip in fire fox but when i use there domain name the site get failed to resolve domain name I know the dns works as dig www.google.com returns an ip that will load google
[12:44] <leon_pegg> any ideas whats wrong?
[12:44] <E_mE> leon_pegg: what does your resolv.conf look like?
[12:44] <leon_pegg> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:44] <E_mE> are you sure the DNS is correct
[12:45] <UB`> CrummyGummy yes you are right so check "man fstab" for the sixth field
[12:45] <leon_pegg> yes
[12:45] <E_mE> leon_pegg: whats "dig" ..
[12:45] <mike1o> !clone
[12:45] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade" - See also !automate
[12:46] <leon_pegg> dig www.google.com will give you the ip's of the A records etc
[12:47] <E_mE> leon_pegg: so you can load google.com in your web browser
[12:47] <E_mE> but you can't ping it?
[12:47] <leon_pegg> yes by typeing the ip
[12:47] <leon_pegg> nope
[12:47] <E_mE> odd!... you tried rebooting?
[12:47] <leon_pegg> yep
[12:47] <E_mE> i really wish i could help you.. im sorry!
[12:48] <E_mE> im puzzled too
[12:48] <nelly> leon_pegg: Are you using firefox?
[12:48] <E_mE> is you DNS client running?
[12:48] <leon_pegg> yes
[12:48] <CrummyGummy> UB`, Its set to 2 but it doesn't seem to do a good check.
[12:48] <leon_pegg> not sure
[12:48] <nelly> google for the ipv6 problem common with firefox
[12:48] <leon_pegg> how do i check
[12:48] <nelly> 1 sec
[12:49] <CrummyGummy> I need to put a line in a startup script before the fs is mounted.
[12:49] <nelly> type about:config into firefox address bar
[12:50] <CrummyGummy> that will mount the fs ro, run the check and umount.
[12:50] <nelly> leon_pegg: search for the line 'network.dns.disableIPv6' in about:config, and set it to true
[12:50] <leon_pegg> ok one sec
[12:51] <leon_pegg> then restart firefox?
[12:51] <nelly> yeah, then give it a try
[12:51] <leon_pegg> ok will do that
[12:52] <gorski> sadfas
[12:52] <gorski> anyone?
[12:52] <linuxnooblah> is there a utility i can get that will allow me to get files from my ntfs partitions
[12:52] <leon_pegg> nope
[12:52] <jrib> !ntfs > linuxnooblah    (linuxnooblah, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:52] <gorski> is it repository for ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 the same?
[12:52] <jrib> !ipv6 > leon_pegg    (leon_pegg, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:52] <gorski> will 6.10 recognize repository of 6.06?
[12:53] <jrib> gorski: no, do not mix repositories for different versions
[12:53] <gorski> ok
[12:53] <catxk> boho, my wireless wont work... everything seems to be fine, I can scan for networks and get a list just as I should, but when I connect, most times it's just dead, sometimes it works for a minute before the connection dropes, and sometimes it works but is just really slow
[12:53] <catxk> any ideas? I have no problem under windows
[12:53] <leon_pegg> that did not fix the problem
[12:53] <gorski> how to make repository on a dvd?
[12:53] <jrib> leon_pegg: did you disable ipv6?  (not only in firefox)
[12:54] <OuZo> how do i add more view ports? thansk
[12:54] <leon_pegg> ah ok will do that
[12:54] <jrib> OuZo: like workspaces?
[12:54] <linuxnooblah> jrib: ty
[12:54] <OuZo> jrib: yes
[12:54] <jrib> OuZo: right click on the workspaces applet and go to preferences

[12:55] <leon_pegg> thanks people am trying these now
[12:56] <gorski> how to make repository on a dvd?
[12:57] <leon_pegg> before changing my dns I am going to disable ipv6 see if that helps
[12:57] <catxk> I have problem setting up my wifi. I can scan for networks, but when I connect it either 1) doesn't work at all 2) works, but is dreadfully slo 3) works, but is slow, for a minute, then the connection droppes
[12:57] <gorski> how to build repository on a dvd?
[12:57] <catxk> I have no problem under windows
[12:58] <leon_pegg> catxk what card do you have?
[12:58] <somewhat> gorski: try http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[12:58] <catxk> leon_pegg: atheros ar5005g
[12:58] <leon_pegg> catxk iwconfig ?
[12:59] <catxk> leon_pegg: seems to work, but access-point is not-associated
[12:59] <leon_pegg> ok type iwpriv SSID=someAP
[12:59] <leon_pegg> the do it again
[01:00] <catxk> leon_pegg: no private ioctls. both times
[01:00] <catxk> I typed "SSID=someAP", was I supposed to replace someAP with some AP? :)
[01:00] <gorski> somewhat is there another way?
[01:01] <leon_pegg> sorry iwpriv <interface> SSID=someAP
[01:01] <leon_pegg> yes
[01:01] <catxk> leon_pegg: yes? so, someAP should be the mac address of the routher, or the ip?
[01:01] <somewhat> gorski: whats wrong with this method?
[01:01] <leon_pegg> no the name ie default for belkin is Belkin54g
[01:02] <gorski> well, i just want the latest downloaded repository, not all that i downloaded past 6 months
[01:02] <leon_pegg> to find out type iwlist <interface> scan
[01:03] <nelly> leon_pegg: Any luck yet?
[01:03] <catxk> leon_pegg: ok, is it the ESSID?
[01:03] <dejand> :/
[01:03] <leon_pegg> nelly no
[01:03] <dejand> how do i set domainname in ubuntu (and at boot)
[01:03] <leon_pegg> yes
[01:03] <leon_pegg> catxk yes that what you want
[01:04] <somewhat> gorski: you can browse to /var/cache/apt/archives and sort by date and copy those to a CD and take them to another box
[01:04] <leon_pegg> nelly tryed disabling ipv6 in ubuntu and firefox still the same change the dns to the ones give still no luck
[01:04] <somewhat> you'll need to be root to copy them back
[01:04] <catxk> leon_pegg: it gives me invalid command : SSID=AnnaJonatan
[01:05] <gorski> it is like leaving the car home...
[01:05] <leon_pegg> catxk iwpriv <interface> set SSID=someAP
[01:05] <catxk> invalid command : set
[01:06] <catxk> leon_pegg: I'm typing: iwpriv ath0 set SSID=AnnaJonatan
[01:06] <catxk> where AnnaJonatan is the ESSID/name for the network
[01:06] <dejand> how do i set domainname in ubuntu (and at boot)
[01:06] <leon_pegg> thats should be right
[01:06] <dejand> how do i set domainname in ubuntu (and at boot)
[01:07] <leon_pegg> use sudo to run it
[01:07] <leon_pegg> so it would be : sudo iwpriv ath0 set SSID=AnnaJonatan
[01:07] <catxk> leon_pegg: same result.. invalid command
[01:07] <catxk> yeah, tried that
[01:07] <leon_pegg> not sure why thats not working for you it should
[01:08] <soho> hello, i have a notebook-ram, how can i find out if it has 333 or 266 mhz?
[01:08] <linuxnooblah> is there an app i can use to test my mic?
[01:09] <catxk> leon_pegg: hehe ok, is the point that it should assign an access-point to ath0 so it doesn not show "Not-Associated" when I type iwconfig?
[01:09] <leon_pegg> yes
[01:09] <zulfajuniadi> soho: it should be on the sticker
[01:10] <nelly> catxk: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[01:10] <leon_pegg> you could also edit you /etc/network/interfaces file
[01:10] <leon_pegg> beet me to it
[01:10] <nelly> :]
[01:10] <soho> zulfajuniadi; in my case on the sticker is only the serial-numer to find, and a sticker with "designed for toshiba"
[01:10] <NET||abuse> hi all,, i've installed ubuntu here and i'm trying to use ispconfig, now i have it all running smoothly, however, i've been assigned a new ip range, i setup eth0:0 with the first ip in that new subnet range and it worked, I rewrote the /etc/networking/interfaces file to assign eth0:0 at startup automatically, and /etc/init.d/networking restart works fine, the interface binds to the addresss
[01:10] <zulfajuniadi> soho: bios?
[01:10] <catxk> hehe :)
[01:10] <NET||abuse> but when i rebooted last it wiped the changes i made from the interfaces file and only bound eth0 on the normal main ip
[01:11] <leon_pegg> catxk and add wireless-essid YOURESSID to the interfac e
[01:11] <dejand> how do i set domainname in ubuntu (and at boot)
[01:11] <leon_pegg> then reboot
[01:11] <catxk> leon_pegg: it's already there
[01:11] <soho> zulfajuniadi; my new notebook has ddr2, this ram doesn't fit into it
[01:11] <dejand> how do i set domainname in ubuntu (and at boot)
[01:11] <Jowi> catxk, nelly, fyi, it is better to use gksudo for graphical apps
[01:12] <zulfajuniadi> soho: then you can't identify it physically, both 266 and 333 are identical physically
[01:12] <Jowi> !gksudo
[01:12] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>
[01:12] <soho> zulfajuniadi; alright, thanks
[01:13] <Ulixes> how can i check if 3d is active on my graphic card?
[01:13] <LjL> how may i know if a network card is "live" (i.e. the main LED is on) using the CLI? i think "dmesg" will show lines for when it went up or down, but i could find no command to actually probe it
[01:14] <leon_pegg> hmm catxk is your card using the right driver?
[01:15] <leon_pegg> remember you need to taking into accout revision and firmware with drivers
[01:16] <sipior> LjL: doesn't the main led usually just mean that there is a physical signal path established (i.e., both cards work and the receive and send lines match appropriately)?
[01:16] <catxk> leon_pegg: I guess so, I mean, sometimes it works...
[01:16] <linuxnooblah> where can i go to check if my mic is currently working in ubuntu?
[01:16] <Jowi> LjL, tleds might be useful
[01:17] <Jowi> !info tleds
[01:17] <ubotu> tleds: blinks keyboard LEDs for TX and RX network packets. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.05beta10-9 (edgy), package size 16 kB, installed size 108 kB
[01:17] <spiekey> hi
[01:17] <spiekey> what does this error mean? You are missing a dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/cyrus.  Add it.
[01:17] <leon_pegg> catxk have a look for upadted driver and dbl chack the card rev and firmware ver
[01:17] <LjL> sipior: yep, but that's exactly what i want to know (but i want to know it via software, not by physically looking at the LED). with "ifconfig" or "ping" or "netstat" or..., i can know if the card is configured properly - but i really just want to know if there is signal
[01:17] <spiekey> add what to where and how? :)
[01:17] <hypn0> I want to try LiVES , but it has jack dependencies, will installing jack affect alsa or sound in other applications

[01:18] <linuxnooblah> ty
[01:18] <LjL> Jowi: hm, sounds like a nice gadget, but not really what i want... in the end, what i want to obtain is a web page that tells me "computer a is up", "computer b is down", "computer c is up but configured wrong"
[01:18] <hypn0> audacity*
[01:18] <kynes> eclipse seems to be very unstable on ubuntu
[01:18] <kynes> any suggestions to fix?
[01:19] <sipior> LjL: i guess i'm missing the obvious here: can't you just construct a page based on ping responses and the like?
[01:19] <farcanal> hello chat room
[01:20] <hypn0> unstable, it must be slowest app in universe :-)
[01:20] <catxk> leon_pegg: ok, I'll do some research, thanks for your help!
[01:20] <LjL> sipior: yes, but "ping" tells me if the tcp/ip stack is ok on the target machine, and configured correctly. it can't (afaik) just tell me "yes, there is some electric signal going on that wire"
[01:20] <hypn0> style over substance :-/
[01:20] <leon_pegg> np catxk
[01:20] <LjL> sipior: i *will* use "ping" and friends, too, but i also want to know if there is connection, irrespective of whether such connection is actually working
[01:20] <Anon4855> :clap:
[01:20] <farcanal> can anyone tell me where i can download the driver for a my hauppauge usb STICK dvb device
[01:21] <LjL> farcanal: a few hauppages are supported out of the box i think... what's the exact model name?
[01:21] <farcanal> ermmm..... i dont know
[01:21] <LjL> farcanal: try "lsusb" to know
[01:21] <farcanal> i lodt the box long time ago
[01:21] <dejand> hm
[01:21] <dejand> my nis server works
[01:21] <dejand> for terminal (tty1)
[01:21] <dejand> but not for Xserver
[01:22] <sipior> LjL: i see. looks like you'll be grepping some device driver code in the near future :-) sorry, i know of nothing that would help you there.
[01:22] <jochus> how can I change /etc/sudoers so I can mount as a normal user? => jochus  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/mount => does not work :-(
[01:22] <farcanal> just says its an hauppauge
[01:22] <jrib> jochus: why not use the 'user' or 'users' option in fstab for the device?
[01:23] <LjL> sipior: well, if that's the only possibility, then i guess i'll just make myself happy with "ping" :-P but since "dmesg" does show that information (at least, i think it's that information - like "link up, full-duplex, 100Mbps"), it should be reachable... somehow
[01:23] <jochus> ok, but I was also planning to let my user do "xm list" (which is a xen option) ... that didn't work, so I first tried I could do it with mount
[01:23] <jochus> and that didn't work either
[01:23] <jochus> so I'm doing something wrong
[01:23] <xelados> Does anyone know where I can find a list of compose key sequences?
[01:24] <LjL> farcanal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy is a page with instructions for installing IVTV, which is a driver for a few Hauppage cards
[01:24] <farcanal> ok ill try that thanks
[01:24] <phoenix24> where could I read about 'Technical details on Feisty' or any UBUNTU distro ?
[01:24] <leon_pegg> nelly is this normal output from nslookup www.google.com " Name: w\247w.l.google.com \n Address: <IP_ADDRESS> ......" ?
[01:24] <LjL> farcanal: i'd also see linuxtv.org, which is the most complete site about TV cards on Linux, though it's not ubuntu specific
[01:24] <LjL> phoenix24: what sort of details?
[01:25] <sipior> LjL: also, how would you be able to get just connection information from a remote host? if there is a signal, the computer can send along a packet to tell you as much. but if there isn't, how do you plan on getting this information? (other than the fact that the network doesn't :) the local and remote machines will generally be electrically isolated, right?
[01:25] <phoenix24> LjL: like  in feisty all disks are accessed as SATA disks, since it uses libata by default for everything
[01:25] <phoenix24> and therefore it's normal to see my ATA HDD as SATA disk
[01:26] <jrib> jochus: that syntax looks right to me so idk'

[01:26] <LjL> !paste > Ulixes    (Ulixes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:26] <xelados> What's the name of the right alt key in xorg.conf? I want to change my compose key from caps to right alt.
[01:26] <jrib> jochus: does it still prompt you for a password with mount?
[01:26] <jochus> yes
[01:26] <jochus> jrib: it does
[01:26] <Ulixes> right
[01:26] <LjL> sipior: not sure i'm following you... yes, if there *isn't* signal, the machines will be isolated. that would be enough to know that there isn't signal, wouldn't it?  and, after all, the card's LED works...
[01:26] <xelados> s/in/for
[01:27] <LjL> xelados: meta?
[01:27] <LjL> or super. or something.
[01:27] <xelados> LjL: I'm not sure.
[01:27] <sipior> LjL: well, but if both machines are plugged into a switch, say, just looking at the line levels from the local machine won't tell you anything
[01:28] <sipior> LjL: and if you're just checking to see if the network is running, you're back to using ping, i think
[01:28] <zulfajuniadi> anyone knows how to connect ubuntu with nokia through data cable
[01:28] <KalleDK> Hey is it possible to make a ubuntu server reboot (and send other commands) via a homepage... I got a dapper LAMP server at home. And need a second way to rescue it if i mess up my ssh..
[01:29] <leon_pegg> is this normal output from nslookup www.google.com " Name: w\247w.l.google.com \n Address: <IP_ADDRESS> ......" ?
[01:29] <LjL> sipior: oh, i see your point. but no, i've got direct (cross over cable) connections
[01:29] <sipior> LjL: ahh! okay, that makes much more sense now :)
[01:30] <nelly> Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.google.com Address: <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:30] <sogen> what is system name of gnome volumre control ?
[01:30] <sogen> i need run it from cmd
[01:30] <LjL> sipior: how would you do it in the case of a switch in the middle, anyway? yes, "ping" comes to mind, but "ping" won't work if anything is set up wrong on the target machine. perhaps ping broadcast? or arp something?
[01:31] <sipior> KalleDK: you can, but a better question is to ask whether it's a good idea :-) whenever i screw around with sshd, i always make sure to leave myself logged in, and then try another connection before logging out...saved my arse a couple times :-)
[01:31] <Ulixes> hi, what this means: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12906/ ?
[01:31] <Jowi> LjL, maybe if you search apt for snmp you will find some useful apps.
[01:31] <nelly> sogen: gnome-volume-control
[01:31] <phoenix24> LjL: like  in feisty all disks are accessed as SATA disks, since it uses libata by default for everythingare the technical details on Feisty  or any ubuntu distro's published any particular place  ?
[01:31] <sogen> anyone know how i can run gnome volumre control from terminal ?
[01:31] <Jowi> brb
[01:31] <LjL> Jowi: hm, but SNMP requires stuff installed on the target machines too (unless i'm quite mistaken), and i can't really do that
[01:32] <KalleDK> sipior how... When i change in sshd config I use reboot :D
[01:32] <LjL> phoenix24, there are the specifications lists
[01:32] <LjL> !feisty > phoenix24    (phoenix24, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:32] <leon_pegg> nell full output is http://pastebin.ca/416666
[01:32] <LjL> phoenix24: for instance, the "use libata and use UUIDs in fstab" is mentioned as a spec
[01:32] <leon_pegg> nelly full output is http://pastebin.ca/416666
[01:32] <sipior> KalleDK: no, try doing "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" and that should reload the config file, and much quicker than rebooting :)
[01:32] <phoenix24> LjL: thank you very much :)
[01:33] <LjL> phoenix24: specifically, this spec https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/libata-for-all-ata-disks

[01:33] <cable_guy> hi
[01:33] <cable_guy> can someone help me please?
[01:34] <phoenix24> LjL: are the blueprints published for every Ubuntu release ?
[01:34] <sipior> KalleDK: nope. the daemon only governs new connections. current connections are unaffected
[01:34] <cable_guy> i have an external monitor hooked up to my laptop
[01:34] <InvisiblePinkUni> sipior: should that be /etc/init.d/sshd restart?
[01:34] <KalleDK> nice
[01:34] <michael117> I've found a particular library pretty interesting but would like to find out what programs depend on that library... how could I find out with apt-get or some other tool?
[01:34] <Jowi> LjL, so you just want to probe the available nics on the lan to see if they are  physically connected. I know the bios can do that since there is wake-on-lan options on some boards.... no idea on how to get that info.
[01:34] <KalleDK> Then  I would use that
[01:34] <cable_guy> i want to turn the internal lcd screen off and leave just the external on
[01:34] <cable_guy> how do i do that?
[01:34] <sipior> InvisiblePinkUni: it's ssh on my machine, but on gentoo it's sshd
[01:35] <espenj> excuse me... when i boot the ubuntu install cd, i come to a command line where grub stands in front.. what do i type to start the installation?
[01:35] <leon_pegg> there is normoly a key short cut using Fn or the likes cable_guy this is os inderpendent
[01:35] <cable_guy> leon_pegg: but on windows when i boot it's automatically like this without setting anything.. i really don't think it has to do with the fn keys
[01:36] <InvisiblePinkUni> sipior: KalleDK : a better one would be  kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
[01:36] <busfahrer> Excuse me, is the default Ubuntu kernel preemptive?
[01:37] <sipior> KalleDK: InvisiblePinkUni same difference, six of one...etc.etc

[01:44] <sipior> michael117: hmm..only if you know the command name ahed of time
[01:44] <dejand> i want, that this info would be stored permantly

[01:44] <dejand> as root
[01:44] <Ivan> i could just out this on the other work space
[01:45] <LjL> dejand: oh, "domainname" is a command from the "nis" package, i see.
[01:45] <LjL> dejand: i guess you should check the NIS config files, type "dpkg -L nis" to find which they are
[01:46] <michael117> sipior: Well, I'm just looking for a program that performs a function similar or identical to Mac OS X's summarize function that takes a body of text and finds the most important parts and condenses it. Libots0 looks promising and I'm trying to find an app that depends on it

[01:54] <LjL> michael117: then i suppose it shouldn't be too hard to write a gtkdialog script (or something) to give it an acceptable standalone GUI... or, firefox extension? well, libots' description does say it can output HTML natively, so let's see if there's something that could glue them together
[01:55] <IdleOne> ferronica, sudo apt-get install unrar-free
[01:55] <michael117> LjL: Actually, I was checking the man page of ots and found a link to their sf page (http://libots.sourceforge.net/) and when I saw it I was like "HOLY SHIT!" because it has an app that is almost EXACTLY like the OS X app
[01:56] <LjL> michael117: nice, pity it's not packaged though
[01:56] <erikja> !kptc
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kptc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:57] <erikja> !sound >erikja
[01:57] <ferronica> IdleOne: ok after that????
[01:58] <michael117> LjL: As long as it is somehow available and uses gtk!
[01:58] <linuxnooblah> anyone got a link for 7900gt drivers?
[01:58] <linuxnooblah> and howto install
[01:58] <cvk77> are there any anjuta2 packages for ubuntu?
[01:59] <xelados> in xorg.conf, can I set the compose key under the XkbOptions through "keysym Alt_R = Multi_key"? Or, how can I get X to read ~/.xmodmaprc when it loads?
[01:59] <sipior> xelados: easiest to go through gnome, if you're running it
[01:59] <ferronica> ???
[01:59] <ferronica> IdleOne: ok after that????
[01:59] <xelados> sipior: I'm running XFCE
[01:59] <sipior> xelados: and there's no equivalent under "keyboard" or whatever?
[01:59] <xelados> sipior: Nope.
[02:00] <xelados> I don't mind a little hacking as long as I can get it to work properly.
[02:00] <zulfajuniadi> anyone knows how to connect ubuntu with nokia through data cable
[02:00] <wo0lverine> hello
[02:00] <sipior> xelados: also, i think it's just .Xmodmap, right?
[02:00] <xelados> sipior: I'm not sure. I'll check my /home
[02:00] <LjL> michael117: well, i'd give abiword a try anyway, at least there's no stuff to compile and it might give you some more flexibility. and it's not that big a package after all
[02:01] <Gaerrent> is there anyone who knows how to remove avg antivirus in ubuntu? I get a error massage that says "E: avg75fld: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 150"
[02:01] <ferronica> how to open .rar file???
[02:01] <LjL> !rar
[02:01] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[02:01] <xelados> sipior: This link says ~/.Xmodmaprc: http://process-of-elimination.net/wiki/Means_of_Composing_Accented_Characters_in_X_Window_System
[02:01] <nelly> ferronica: try right clicking and extracting again
[02:01] <michael117> LjL: Well, I'm just looking for something really small and the Gnome-summarizer app seems to be it
[02:01] <shiznix`> out of interest
[02:01] <ferronica> sipior: archieve not supported.
[02:02] <ferronica> nelly: archieve not supported.
[02:02] <LjL> michael117: well, ots from the command line is smaller ;P especially if you pipe the (HTML) output to something like a lightweight browser such as dillo or links2
[02:02] <prajyot> no one here...who will help me in RC files??
[02:02] <ferronica> nelly: :(
[02:02] <sipior> xelados: okay, sounds right then :)
[02:02] <xelados> prajyot: What RC file do you need help with?
[02:02] <sipior> xelados: i used to use xmodmap extensively. give me a few minutes and i'll see if i can remember how i called it
[02:03] <ethernomad> dumb question...how do I use a Nautilus script?
[02:03] <xelados> sipior: Okay, will do. Thanks. :)
[02:03] <th3margi> dudes plz help me out on this ! i am usin ubuntu edgy using gnome. i got a kubuntu cd . how do i add kde from the cd to synaptic . Add cdrom aint workin
[02:03] <prajyot> Well i want how to write RC file? & how to read it in the code?
[02:03] <xelados> prajyot: For the most part, RC files are used to get per-user settings for programs. Any text editor can read them.
[02:04] <ferronica> nelly: any idea
[02:06] <ferronica> so one here gonna help me out regarding .rar format ???  :(
[02:06] <gorski> i deleted some important files from trash. Is there a way to bring them back?
[02:06] <nelly> sudo apt-get install unrar
[02:06] <chalmer> how do i get ubuntu to reconize my 4 othere computers on a network?
[02:06] <rambo3> as what
[02:06] <LjL> gorski: not really
[02:07] <gorski> ok
[02:07] <LjL> gorski: what were they, text files?
[02:07] <LjL> gorski: it might be possible to manually hunt some of the data
[02:07] <gorski> how?
[02:07] <LjL> gorski: by grepping /dev/hda1 (or whatever partition it is)
[02:07] <rambo3> man rifle
[02:07] <LjL> gorski: if they're binary files, that won't be *too* much use though
[02:08] <chalmer> how do i access Samba? w/o command line
[02:08] <LjL> gorski: if they're pictures (or some other formats i don't remember, too), there is photorec, from the testdisk package
[02:08] <rambo3> smb://
[02:08] <LjL> !testdisk | gorski
[02:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about testdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:08] <LjL> !info testdisk | gorski
[02:08] <ubotu> gorski: testdisk: Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.4.1-1 (edgy), package size 459 kB, installed size 1232 kB
[02:08] <nedge> why does my NTP server hate me?
[02:08] <LjL> gorski: the first thing you should do is *reboot now* and boot from a live CD. otherwise, chances that the data is overwritten will increase at each second
[02:09] <chalmer> how do i access Samba? w/o command line
[02:09] <gorski> nevermind, tnx anyway
[02:09] <gorski> i found them on a cd
[02:09] <LjL> cool
[02:10] <LjL> gorski: be careful next time. with older filesystems such as ext2 or FAT, it was possible to "undelete" files (as long as they hadn't been overwritten yet), but with journaling filesystems such as ext3, that's not really possible anymore
[02:10] <Pici> chalmer: you can use nautilus to navigate to smb:// addresses
[02:10] <sipior> xelados: try adding "/usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap" to your .xinitrc file
[02:11] <xelados> sipior: Okay, thanks.
[02:11] <Jowi> LjL, i got link some info with mii-diag, mii-tool and ethtool. it will only query nics connected to the machine though it seems. you better go with ping broadcast once per minute or similar to monitor status.
[02:11] <kosnick> what is the command for opening a terminal - console
[02:11] <Pici> chii: or use the places menu in gnome
[02:11] <kosnick> what is the command for opening a terminal - console
[02:11] <Pici> kosnick: The program name is gnome-terminal (in gnome of course)
[02:11] <kosnick> ok
[02:11] <sipior> xelados: actually, tack on an "rc" to that filename, of course :-)
[02:12] <kosnick> Pici : thx
[02:12] <LjL> Jowi: yep, i had stumbled upon mii-tool, too, wasn't too sure what exactly it did, though (whether it uses a protocol that's built into the NIC itself, or a software thing that might or might not be supported, or what)... and, you say ping broadcast is the second "safer" choice? ("safer" meaning "it will say the interface is up even if it's as wrongly configured as it goes")
[02:14] <Matthias> what could be the problem if fglrx drivers only work after booting
[02:14] <Matthias> windows before linux?
[02:14] <LjL> guess they might be forgetting to initialize something in the card
[02:15] <sipior> Matthias: i see similar problems with my soundcard on occasion, and i think LjL's guess about card initialisation is near the mark
[02:15] <ferronica> so one here gonna help me out regarding .rar format ???  :(
[02:15] <ferronica> So any one here gonna help me out regarding .rar format ???  :(
[02:15] <sipior> ferronica: unrar <filename>
[02:15] <Matthias> ive got a radeon 9600 and this problem - with any linux i tried
[02:15] <LjL> not much use as for fixing the problem i'm afraid, though
[02:15] <ferronica> sipior: i did
[02:15] <Matthias> :(
[02:15] <LjL> ferronica: and the exact error is?
[02:16] <ferronica> LjL: Archieve not supported
[02:16] <prajyot> Let me tell you my situation....I have .rc file, it is related to theme changes in mobile, I have to extract the color parameter from that file
[02:16] <LjL> ferronica: are you sure the file isn't just corrupted?
[02:16] <LjL> ferronica: try "file filename.rar", what does it say
[02:17] <prajyot> I saw that file, it is the file, i never seen before......... it is coded like xml/html script
[02:17] <ferronica> LjL: unrar/20th-bsmpr.rar
[02:17] <Jowi> LjL, it would be quite easy I think to build a nic database(or text file) with the ping broadcast information(MAC+IP address). if a nic fail to respond maybe an email can be sent or a sound played. I'm sure there are plenty of apps like that available already.
[02:17] <Hari> hi all
[02:17] <LjL> ferronica: uh? i didn't ask you what the filename is, i meant - what is the output if you type  file filename.rar ?
[02:18] <Hari> I have live updated  ubuntu from <IP_ADDRESS> kernel to <IP_ADDRESS> kernel, after this the sound card is not working
[02:18] <gorski> a program to convert mp3 to ogg?
[02:18] <Tired_> Quick question...is an onboard Radeon X300 sufficient for Compiz or Beryl?
[02:18] <ferronica> tushar@tushar-desktop:~$ unrar /20th-bsmpr.rar
[02:18] <Matthias> mp32ogg
[02:18] <ferronica> bash: unrar: command not found
[02:18] <ferronica> tushar@tushar-desktop:~$
[02:18] <sipior> ferronica: there's your problem :)
[02:19] <ferronica> sipior: what
[02:19] <sipior> ferronica: try "aptitude install unrar"
[02:19] <raphael_> gorski: you should know that converting from mp3 to ogg, gives at best mp3 quality
[02:19] <gorski> ?
[02:19] <LjL> ferronica, archive not supported or command not found? it's different errors. also, you haven't replied to what "file filename.rar" says
[02:19] <Jowi> LjL, however if you're only interested in the nic in your machine a simple "sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i detect" would give you that info.
[02:19] <Matthias> raphael_: but it works ootb on ubuntu
[02:20] <Askar> How do I compile programs for windows in ubuntu? (c++)
[02:20] <xelados> sipior: I did all of that but it didn't work.
[02:20] <prajyot> no one knows about RC files ???
[02:20] <somewhat> gorski: soundconverter is a nice gui
[02:20] <xelados> sipior: Should it be .Xinitrc instead?
[02:20] <gorski> ok, tnx
[02:20] <sipior> xelados: hmmm...could be, though i though modern X servers checked all of the likely places (.xinitrc, .Xinitrc, .xprofile &cet.)
[02:20] <ferronica> LjL: Could not open "20th-bsmpr.rar.Archive type not supported.
[02:20] <xelados> I can get it to work for the session, but not permanently.
[02:20] <raphael_> Matthias: that is true. but the quality will be less
[02:21] <LjL> Jowi, ethtool looks quite spot-on. it says, among the other things, "Link detected: yes", which looks like the basic info i needed (assuming it *really* means the physical link)
[02:21] <sipior> ferronica: have you installed unrar yet?
[02:21] <LjL> ferronica: ok, that's the error from unrar. now i want the output from the *file* command
[02:21] <LjL> ferronica:  file blahblah.rar
[02:21] <raphael_> to get the full effect of ogg, you have to rip the cd`s directly to ogg
[02:22] <jay_> How can I change the color behind the "Applications Places System" part of the menu and the menu color?
[02:22] <ferronica> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12915/
[02:22] <Jowi> LjL, should be the physical link. sudo mii-diag say "You have link beat, and everything is working OK.". only way to find out if they really report the physical link would be to contact the author, find a faq or dig in the code :)
[02:22] <ferronica> sipior: check this link
[02:22] <sipior> ferronica: well, you need to be root. try "sudo aptitude install unrar"
[02:23] <ferronica> sipior: read last line
[02:23] <LjL> Jowi: well, i guess typing "ifdown eth0" and then seeing if they still report the link as up would also satisfy my curiosity well enough - can't do that right now, though, if i want to keep SSH working ;)
[02:23] <sipior> ferronica: did you answer yes? :)
[02:23] <ferronica> sipior: i used there sudo , it gonna uninstall something
[02:23] <sipior> ferronica: no worries
[02:24] <sipior> ferronica: you can always reinstall it, if you miss it
[02:24] <LjL> and if it says it's unused, it probably means it is
[02:25] <LjL> i wonder how on earth you could get an "Archive type not supported" error *without even having unrar installed*, though
[02:25] <necrite> hi all
[02:25] <sipior> LjL: i'm guessing through the gnome archive tool
[02:25] <ferronica> sipior: ok i installed

[02:28] <variant> NekoKun: tell him to use ie4linux
[02:28] <sipior> xelados: hmm..sorry, i'm out of ideas. you might try googling for xfce and xmodmap and see if anyone else has managed it

[02:28] <xelados> sipior: Alright, thanks for helping anyway. :)
[02:28] <sipior> xelados: does xmodmap .Xmodmaprc work?
[02:28] <variant> NekoKun: can install ie5/6 and almost 7

[02:29] <ferronica> LjL: yes
[02:29] <detectiveinspekt> why?

[02:41] <|caicai|> but using the terminal i can only enter on /home
[02:41] <kynes> I can't execute "xulrunner --register-global" command..
[02:41] <ardchoille> entropy_: Did you double click it in nautilus?
[02:41] <Pici> entropy_: you probably just have to chmod +x the file , di you try that?
[02:41] <entropy_> yes
[02:41] <LjL> entropy_: besides, the JDK is available as a proper Ubuntu package, isn't it?
[02:41] <entropy_> I even tried it as root
[02:41] <entropy_> well its incomplete
[02:41] <LjL> |caicai|: uh? no, if you type  cd /usr/lib , you will enter /usr/lib
[02:42] <ardchoille> entropy_: nautilus sometimes treats files very different than the rest of the system does.

[02:42] <LjL> |caicai|:  cd /usr/lib  - pay attention to what one types, please
[02:42] <sipior> that raises a question i've had for a while. sometimes when trying to open a word or rtf document, ubuntu will complain and refuse to do so, citing security concerns. is there any way to turn that damned warning off?
[02:42] <sipior> this is through nautilus, i should add
[02:43] <necrite> anyone install ubuntu server recently ? the ubuntu instalation program ask you to set up nerwork interfaces??????
[02:43] <LjL> entropy_: so anyway, you simply type  ./blahblah.bin , and it gives you an error?
[02:43] <entropy_> yes
[02:43] <LjL> entropy_: what's the error, exactly?
[02:43] <|caicai|> if i put cd /usr/lib it says that directory not existent
[02:44] <entropy_> okay gimme a sec
[02:44] <NekoKun> Another problem... We're setting up a PostFix+SASL server but by any weird reason it isn't working. He reviewd configs and options all over for 3 days... can anyone give us ideas about where to look?

[02:44] <Pici> entropy_: are you sure that its not an error coming out of the script? and not an error from executing the script? If that wasnt too confusing
[02:44] <darkstar> Can anybody help me with a sound problem?
[02:44] <eyalw> macbook, installed ndiswrapper driver for wireless, i see nearby networks, cant connect
[02:44] <Askar> Is there a programming IRC channel for ubuntu?
[02:44] <ferronica> LjL: ?????
[02:45] <|caicai|> forget i've done it

[02:45] <Askar>  Pici:  im looking for a c++ channel
[02:45] <entropy_> Pici, yes i'm sure, I opened the file with nano(gedit refused to) and removed the first line(the one that specifies the interpreter) then did sh "filename" and it worked
[02:45] <LjL> ferronica: with quotation marks
[02:45] <entropy_> but then at the sumcheck the program halted citing corruption
[02:45] <LjL> ferronica: or    unrar-free /home/tushar/DVD\ Rip/Black.Snake.Moan.PROPER.REPACK.TS.XViD-20th/20th-bsmpr.rar       with a backslash
[02:45] <Pici> entropy_: Was the location of the interpreter wrong?
[02:46] <LjL> entropy_: waitwait...
[02:46] <LjL> !dash | entropy_
[02:46] <ubotu> entropy_: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to  #! /bin/bash
[02:46] <LjL> entropy_: might this not be the problem?=
[02:46] <darkstar> My sound has stopped working... I have no idea what I did. Any suggestions on how to find out what's wrong and fix it?

[02:47] <darkstar> LjL, huh?
[02:47] <Jowi> ferronica, if this is a password protected, or a multiple volume rar file, then you will need the unrar non-free package.
[02:47] <LjL> darkstar...?
[02:47] <entropy_> LjL, here's the error http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=76395
[02:48] <LjL> darkstar: you asked about a sound problem, i gave you some links about sound problems
[02:48] <ferronica> LjL: its multiple
[02:48] <entropy_> thats the same thing happening with the j2me wireless toolkit
[02:48] <LjL> ferronica: then use the pastebin again
[02:48] <ferronica> LjL: there are 47 .rar all 14 Mb
[02:48] <darkstar> LjL,  oh, i just got a message that says "see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:48] <LjL> ferronica: not following you there
[02:48] <ataq> Thats not exactly what I need. I need a command to disable just for opera. Like I can do in firefox. Just firefox is seeming buggy and crashing alot lately
[02:48] <ferronica> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12923/
[02:48] <LjL> darkstar: you did?!
[02:48] <LjL> wait
[02:48] <LjL> !sound > ljl    (ljl, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:48] <Jowi> ferronica, the free unrar will not be able to unpack a multiple volume rar archive.
[02:48] <darkstar> LjL,  yeah
[02:49] <Jowi> !unrar
[02:49] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[02:49] <LjL> !sound | darkstar
[02:49] <ubotu> darkstar: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:49] <tokyo26> when i add a package where will it appear?
[02:49] <LjL> darkstar: you didn't get the message above?
[02:49] <raphael_> can I setup fingerprint login in ubuntu edgy?
[02:49] <ardchoille> tokyo26: You mean the menu item for it?
[02:49] <tokyo26> yes
[02:49] <tokyo26> i cant find anything
[02:49] <ferronica> LjL: there are 48 .rar files each 14 Mb
[02:49] <darkstar> LjL,  i just got it
[02:50] <entropy_> Pici, here's the error message: http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=76395
[02:50] <entropy_> really weird stuff
[02:50] <LjL> darkstar: but you *also* got a *private message* that just repeated "see the private message"?
[02:50] <darkstar> LjL, yup
[02:50] <blackwidow> later
[02:50] <ferronica> LjL:got the link
[02:50] <LjL> ferronica: yes, to me it looks like that .rar archive might be corrupted
[02:51] <ardchoille> tokyo26: When you install a gui app, and some cli apps, a menu item is also installed.. usually it is a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. The gnome menus parse the items in /usr/share/applications and use those to build your gnome menu. Sometimes a developer will not include a menu item, in which case you will need to do it manually by adding a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
[02:51] <LjL> ferronica: but, first try installing the other (nonfree) version of unrar
[02:51] <ferronica> LjL: its multiple files
[02:51] <ferronica> LjL: okay non-free
[02:51] <ferronica> LjL: how to install nonfree
[02:51] <LjL> ferronica: you mean you have one .rar file, and then many .r01, .r02, .r03 etc files?
[02:51] <LjL> ferronica: sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[02:52] <ardchoille> tokyo26: A quicker way to add menu items is using Applications -> Accessories -> Alacarte
[02:52] <ferronica> LjL: yes yes
[02:52] <tokyo26> k thanks
[02:52] <Jowi> ferronica, LjL I think "they" renamed it to "unrar" without the non-free part.
[02:52] <LjL> ferronica: ok, then (besides installing the nonfree version), please try "cd"ing to the directory first. in other words -
[02:53] <ferronica> LjL: Reading package lists... Done
[02:53] <ferronica> Building dependency tree... Done
[02:53] <ferronica> Package unrar-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:53] <ferronica> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[02:53] <ferronica> is only available from another source
[02:53] <ferronica> E: Package unrar-nonfree has no installation candidate
[02:53] <ferronica> tushar@tushar-desktop:~$
[02:53] <digen> Jowi, yup that's correct
[02:53] <NekoKun> Here is the main.cf of our PostFix+SASL service. By any reason it isn't authenticating http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12924/
[02:53] <LjL> ferronica:  1)    sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree        2) cd "/home/tushar/DVD Rip/"     3)  unrar "Black.Snake.Moan.PROPER.REPACK.TS.XViD-20th/20th-bsmpr.rar"
[02:53] <savvas> what happened to the daily feisty-alternate-i386.iso ?
[02:53] <LjL> ferronica: you don't have the Multiverse repository enabled, then
[02:53] <LjL> !multiverse > ferronica    (ferronica, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:53] <Jowi> ferronica, "sudo apt-get install unrar"
[02:53] <tokyo26> will i have to add alcarte first?
[02:53] <ferronica> LjL: how to enable it????
[02:53] <LjL> Jowi, did that, but it installs unrar-free
[02:54] <LjL> !multiverse > ferronica    (ferronica, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:54] <ardchoille> tokyo26: If you installed Ubuntu from the cd, you should have it already
[02:54] <Jowi> LjL, aha
[02:54] <LjL> ferronica: but just try once more with unrar-free, in this case, since adding Multiverse is a task of itself
[02:54] <LjL> ferronica:  1) cd "/home/tushar/DVD Rip/"     3)  unrar-free "Black.Snake.Moan.PROPER.REPACK.TS.XViD-20th/20th-bsmpr.rar"
[02:54] <LjL> ferronica: try this first
[02:54] <LjL> well, 1) and 2) ;)

[02:54] <sogen> how i can restart alsamxier settings ?
[02:55] <ardchoille> LjL: Isn't there a way to add a repo in with the command? something like sudo apt-get --enable-repo multiverse package_name
[02:55] <sipior> sogen: /etc/init.d/alsa-settings restart
[02:55] <savvas> the image of the daily feisty-alternate-i386.iso is not on the servers of cdimage.ubuntu.com - does anyone know about this? I need it for my jigdo
[02:55] <SymmHome> gimme my new hardware already dammit :(
[02:55] <LjL> ardchoille: no, not that easy. you can do it with an (involved) "sed" command
[02:55] <rambo3> alsa-utils
[02:55] <sipior> sogen: sorry, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[02:55] <ferronica> LjL: error --->failed :(
[02:56] <ardchoille> LjL: Methinks someone should add that type of option :)
[02:56] <LjL> ferronica: ok then i'm afraid you'll really have to enable Multiverse and install unrar-nonfree
[02:56] <LjL> ardchoille: well, it's quite possible from the GUI, but then i don't know - or have - the GUI
[02:56] <ferronica> LjL: how to do???
[02:56] <jburd> Hello.   I cannot get my third-level chooser key to work in Ubuntu Edgy Eft.  It's set to Right-Alt by default.
[02:56] <ferronica> LjL: from source list????
[02:56] <jburd> I need to type currency symbols for the Euro, Pound, and Yen.
[02:57] <NekoKun> variant: That was the most friendly install I've ever seen!
[02:57] <rambo3> !info unrar-nonfree edgy
[02:57] <ubotu> Package unrar-nonfree does not exist in edgy
[02:58] <sipior> ferronica: head to System --> Administration --> Software Sources. click on the multiverse button
[02:58] <LjL> rambo3: right, but i have a feeling he's not on edgy, otherwise "unrar" would have installed the non-free version to begin with..
[02:58] <Jowi> ferronica, if you are on edgy: start synaptic package manager. click "settings" -> "repositories". check universe and multiverse. click close. click reload.
[02:58] <ferronica> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12926/
[02:58] <ferronica> LjL: this my source.list
[02:58] <jburd> Can anybody tell me how I can type symbols for the Euro, Pound, and Yen currencies?
[02:58] <LjL> ferronica: ok, hold on a second and i'll give you back a revised version with Multiverse enabled (or just follow the others' advice from the GUI)
[02:58] <rambo3> LjL, i just droped in the midle of conversation . sry
[02:59] <entropy_> LjL, could you please take a look at this error: http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=76395
[02:59] <Jowi> jburd,  like this? on my keyboard it's "alt-gr + e"
[02:59] <sipior> jburd: i think the 3rd-level chooser only works for the Euro. try enabling deadkeys
[02:59] <LjL> rambo3: well, i never *stated* it wasn't Edgy, i just inferred it from the fact that "unrar" would install the free version
[02:59] <jburd> Jowi, yeah.  Alt-gr?
[02:59] <LjL> ferronica: isn't the first line of your sources.list missing from that paste?
[02:59] <sipior> jburd: choose whatever compose key you want
[02:59] <Jowi> jburd, Alt-Gr is a button next to the space bar.
[03:00] <LjL> entropy_: sure, one second, let me fix up this sources.list first
[03:00] <entropy_> thanks
[03:00] <sipior> jburd: then the euro symbol is just "alt-= e"
[03:00] <rambo3> entropy_, chmod +x file
[03:00] <sipior> jburd: yen is "alt-= y" &cet.
[03:00] <jburd> Ah.  Awesome sipior.  :)
[03:00] <jburd> Thanks Jowi and sipior :)
[03:01] <pu> ?
[03:01] <LjL> ferronica: err, you *do* seem to have multiverse enabled, though that sources.list is a bit messy

[03:01] <entropy_> rambo3, its 770 and i'm the owner
[03:01] <LjL> ferronica: try doing a "sudo apt-get update" first, and make sure there's no errors
[03:01] <Desp__> hi all
[03:02] <ferronica> LjL: i think i  ave to install non free unrar
[03:02] <tdn> This happened suddenly. I have not installed anything new on the computer except maybe the occational updates. I have tried logging in with different users. I have even tried creating a new user and logged in with that one. That didn't help.
[03:02] <jburd> sipior, do you know of a list of these shortcuts that I can refer to?
[03:02] <LjL> entropy_, "permission denied" would sound like the file is not +x
[03:02] <Desp__> how can i give permission to user desp to config the file bahamut-1.8.4
[03:02] <Desp__>  please?
[03:02] <pu> I have two CD disk, one is Ubuntu, another is Xubuntu.I have installed the Xubun. How can I install the OpenOffice.org in the ubuntu CD disk?
[03:02] <ferronica> LjL: ok update Done with no errors
[03:02] <LjL> entropy_: what does  ls -l filename  says?
[03:03] <entropy_> I made it 777 and it still does the same error
[03:03] <LjL> ferronica: uhm, ok, try again installing unrar-nonfree... though this is kind of weird.
[03:03] <pu> please?
[03:03] <ferronica> LjL: same error
[03:03] <rambo3> entropy_, why not just move the file to homefolder and run it with sudo
[03:03] <ferronica> LjL: E: Package unrar-nonfree has no installation candidate
[03:04] <LjL> !info unrar-nonfree dapper
[03:04] <entropy_> works if its in the home folder
[03:04] <sipior> jburd: sort of :-) head to /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose for a list (or choose whatever locale you use)
[03:04] <ubotu> Package unrar-nonfree does not exist in dapper
[03:04] <entropy_> now why wouldnt it work on the USB, thats what I want to know damnit
[03:04] <LjL> gnn. where the heck is it
[03:04] <jburd> Cool.  @ sipior :-)
[03:04] <Jowi> LjL, they renamed it to unrar
[03:04] <sipior> jburd: not all of them work, for reasons i don't quite understand, but a google search will also turn up many
[03:04] <ferronica> LjL: i have to install ???

[03:04] <jburd> Hmm.
[03:05] <LjL> Jowi: in Edgy, yeah, but in Dapper too? if ferronica installs "unrar", the only binary with a name that starts with "unra" seems to be "unrar-free"
[03:05] <entropy_> rambo3, worked when in my home folder, now why the hell didnt it on the USB? its some sort of shit security thing and I dont care about it(I know what I run and I don't need anyone to tell me)
[03:05] <LjL> don't know what to say Jowi... i told ferronica to try typing "unra<TAB>", and it only comes up with "unrar-free"
[03:05] <entropy_> is there any way to disable it?
[03:06] <rambo3> entropy_, i have no idea.
[03:06] <sipior> entropy_: i've wondered the same, i find it intensely annoying
[03:06] <LjL> entropy_, it's no security thing IMHO - that sort of command always worked here (and still does)
[03:06] <Jowi> LjL, I don't have a dapper install anymore to double-check
[03:06] <LjL> Jowi: neither do i (i don't even have edgy anymore)...
[03:06] <LjL> ferronica: what does  apt-cache policy unrar  say?
[03:06] <KalleDK> I got a dapper server :P
[03:06] <ferronica> LjL: i am using ubuntu 6.06 LTA Dapper Drake
[03:07] <ferronica> LjL: ok
[03:07] <LjL> ferronica: yes, i know that from your sources.list
[03:07] <bluefox83> anyone know of a gui tool to rename a bunch of files at the same time?
[03:07] <raphael_> is there a repo with the newest frozen-bubble? or do I have to wait for feisty?

[03:08] <LjL> so, it's installed, and still typing "unrar" gives command not found
[03:08] <LjL> i must be missing something
[03:08] <ferronica> Pici: sorry
[03:08] <sipior> ferronica: what's your path?
[03:08] <LjL> ferronica: what about  dpkg -L unrar | grep bin
[03:08] <Jowi> that's the multiverse version installed alright
[03:08] <entropy_> LjL, if its not a security thing then why did the file run perfectly from my home folder but even as root it would not run from USB?
[03:09] <ferronica> LjL: tushar@tushar-desktop:~$ dpkg -L unrar | grep bin
[03:09] <ferronica> /usr/bin
[03:09] <ferronica> /usr/bin/unrar
[03:09] <LjL> Jowi: which means it should be nonfree, and should by startable by just typing "unrar"... (or perhaps "unrar-nonfree"? but then if TAB only completes to unrar-free...)
[03:09] <LjL> ferronica: then i have no idea why it would give you "command not found"
[03:09] <sipior> ferronica: what does "echo $PATH" give you?
[03:09] <Jowi> ferronica, try "whereis unrar"
[03:09] <LjL> i'll add "which unrar"
[03:10] <sipior> one of those will work :-)

[03:10] <sipior> ferronica: and "which unrar" doesn't turn up anything?
[03:10] <LjL> ferronica: try also just  unrar
[03:10] <ardchoille> Maybe why they haven't done it.
[03:10] <ferronica> Jowi: unrar: /usr/share/man/man1/unrar.1.gz
[03:11] <LjL> ardchoille: well, as long as the only repos that can be enabled that way are Universe and Multiverse, it shouldn't a problem. if you can add third-party repos, it becomes a problem... (but then people enable them anyway =)
[03:11] <UbuntuGuy> HI -- question about fonts.  I went to openfontlibrary.org and grabbed a new font (zip).  I unzipped it to /tmp then went to nautilus and opened fonts:///.  Next I dragged and dropped my new font into fonts:/// but it did not appear in the list.  What am I doing wrong?
[03:11] <ardchoille> LjL: Good point
[03:11] <Jowi> ferronica, so you have installed it but manually deleted it maybe... you should have gotten unrar: /usr/bin/unrar /usr/X11R6/bin/unrar /usr/bin/X11/unrar /usr/share/man/man1/unrar.1.gz
[03:11] <ferronica> LjL : tushar@tushar-desktop:~$ unrar
[03:11] <ferronica> bash: unrar: command not found
[03:11] <LjL> ferronica: also  ls -l /usr/bin/unrar

[03:11] <sogen> can anyone help me run team speak on ubuntu ?
[03:12] <LjL> ferronica: if it still says no such file, then type  sudo apt-get --reinstall install unrar   -  i'm pretty sure this will fix it
[03:12] <sipior> UbuntuGuy: i think fonts:/// is deprecated. should work if you just put it in $HOME/.fonts
[03:12] <ferronica> LjL: tushar@tushar-desktop:~$  ls -l /usr/bin/unrar
[03:12] <ferronica> ls: /usr/bin/unrar: No such file or directory
[03:12] <LjL> ferronica: right. type  sudo apt-get --reinstall install unrar , and *never mess with root privileges again* ;)
[03:12] <sipior> UbuntuGuy: might have to restart X, but i think that's no longer the case
[03:12] <LjL> you deleted /usr/bin/unrar, somehow.
[03:13] <LjL> hope you didn't delete anything else essential, while at it
[03:13] <ferronica> LjL: ok installed
[03:13] <ferronica> LjL: you give me command i will paste it in my terminal
[03:13] <UbuntuGuy> sipior I got the fonts:/// thing from the official documentation!  It *does* show fonts installed

[03:14] <LjL> ferronica:  cd "/home/tushar/DVD Rip/"   ;  unrar "Black.Snake.Moan.PROPER.REPACK.TS.XViD-20th/20th-bsmpr.rar"
