[18:52] <grendal_prime> hey i got a cabnet full of hd's that i got because they needed to be whiped out.  What is the quickes and most definat method of doing this?
[18:52] <bbyever> ’╗┐Syberjj: ok, i'll try that
[18:52] <ikonia> Flannel: execellent idea, validate it on the computer you burnt
[18:52] <King_of_Hearts> give me a moment and I will verify that the CD is validatable on another unit
[18:53] <Syberjj> bbyever - and in sound options make sure u are using ALSA for everything unless u have a hardware soundcard
[18:53] <Flannel> ikonia: I wouldn't validate on the computer that burned it, but a third party, if one is available
[18:53] <Julouste> Syberjj: sudo startx -- :1    for another x session, which you would probably switch to with cntrl, alt, F8    sudo startx -- :2   for next session, etc
[18:53] <award> a clarification question: can i complie a kernel on one computer and install the produced .debs on another?
[18:53] <ikonia> Flannel: why ?
[18:54] <ikonia> award: yes if the dependencies are met
[18:54] <Syberjj> ’╗┐Julouste - but do those sessions have a graphical interface? (gnome)
[18:54] <Flannel> ikonia: because the burner computer could be the one with problems, and it might read it back fine.
[18:54] <award> ikonida: ok great thanks
[18:54] <Julouste> Syberjj: They should do.
[18:54] <ikonia> Flannel: it wouldn't read it back find as the checksums would fail - a failty cd drive can't make the checksums fall into line
[18:54] <Syberjj> ’╗┐Julouste - thanks allot
[18:55] <zeeeee> hi, i'm running a program that's doing a bunch of disk IO - is there any way to determine which process this is?
[18:55] <kcaj> supp
[18:55] <kcaj> I'm so mads :(
[18:55] <kcaj> I can't get my wireless card working
[18:55] <zeeeee> (i.e. how to find out what processes are performing lots of disk IO?)
[18:55] <kcaj> 'I can see wireless networks, but they always stay at 0% and never connect
[18:55] <bbyever> ’╗┐Syberjj: i get this error Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'
[18:55] <kcaj> (alothough the preview shows them well ab ove 50% signal)
[18:55] <ikonia> kcaj: calm down and explain your problem clearly on one line if possible
[18:56] <bbyever> ’╗┐Syberjj: and then the sound preferences freezes
[18:56] <kcaj> Alright, I installed the cutter stuff f or broadcom, my wireless card works and is recognized by my system and my system detects wireless networks, however, it nev er actually can connec t to them... even if the signal is around 50%, when it tries to connect it jst says 0% and never grabs an IP
[18:56] <ryanakca> !java
[18:57] <Syberjj> bbyver - i have no idea what that is >.<
[18:57] <kcaj> 'Through manual configuration I can make wlan0:athi or whatyever come up, but it always has an invalid ip (I forget what now, and now it is impossible to check since where I am at currently, has no wifi I can use, only a wire, and my mother location only has wifi, no wire)
[18:57] <kcaj> so I've been goig back and forth going nuts ;) haha
[18:57] <bbyever> ’╗┐Syberjj: :S, thanks wanyway! :)
[18:57] <kcaj> Is there a better network manager than the default one or something that works good with broadcom stuff?
[18:58] <ikonia> kcaj: I suspect your getting yourself a little confused
[18:58] <Syberjj> bbyver - but anyway, multiple audio things working at the same time require hardware work from the soundcard, onboard cards cant do that so u have to use the ALSA sound software that will do the work using processor power
[18:58] <mobilefrogge> this wireless card issue killing me
[18:58] <ikonia> kcaj: first thing to do is paste the output of the following commands in a pastebin please. "ifconfig -a" and then "iwconfig"
[18:58] <kcaj> I couldn't even get my card to work at first, but, at least now it works.
[18:58] <Syberjj> bbyver - well... most things already work using aLSA but firefox+flash dont so it bugs other sound apps
[18:58] <ikonia> kcaj: that way we can take a look at what's going on
[18:58] <mobilefrogge> kcaj what kind of card is it?
[18:58] <IndyGunFreak> mobilefrogge: what wireless device do you have?
[18:58] <Syberjj> byver - maybe u can try starting the sound recording software using "aoss softwarename"
[18:59] <kcaj> Dude, it will not help atm, right ikonia, because, at the moment, I can't connect to a wifi due to my physical location, even if there was one available, like where I physically was last night, it would not connect
[18:59] <kcaj> Here is the output of those commands, hold on
[18:59] <mobilefrogge> linksys wmp54gs
[18:59] <ikonia> kcaj: please use a pastebin
[18:59] <ikonia> !paste kcaj
[18:59] <Syberjj> bbyever - ’╗┐maybe u can try starting the sound recording software using "aoss softwarename"
[18:59] <kcaj> I'm connected through a wire right now...
[18:59] <ikonia> !paste| kcaj
[18:59] <King_of_Hearts> I also have a question about signal strength in ubuntu, desktop edition
[18:59] <mobilefrogge> i got the drivers and used the wireless driver thing and it didnt work
[18:59] <mobilefrogge> says hardware not installed
[18:59] <bbyever> ’╗┐Syberjj: ok, i'll try that
[18:59] <trakinas> after adding a new item do the brub menu.lst what should I do?
[18:59] <zeeeee> anyone
[19:00] <King_of_Hearts> is the strength how strong the signal is, or good the connnection between the devices?
[19:00] <trakinas> i rebooted and no new item in the menu
[19:00] <King_of_Hearts> they sound the same, but i think you may understand
[19:00] <arvind_khadri> trakinas, sudo update-grub
[19:00] <mobilefrogge> the windows wireless utility
[19:00] <Dex-Freudii> I am having trouble trying to mount some data CDs burnt in Windows (I think Vista)... I get the error: "wrong fs type" in terminal, and something with UDP in gnome ... any idea??
[19:00] <trakinas> arvind_khadri: thanks! i knew the were another grub command... couldnt remember which
[19:00] <arvind_khadri> trakinas, :)
[19:01] <apavlov> hey. In Hardy, after resume from suspend I'm unable to switch user using the "Switch User" button in the dialog box. Any ideas?
[19:01] <trakinas> brb
[19:01] <King_of_Hearts> your computers disk drive may not be able to handle the type of data written by the other drive, this is usually a problem with laptops
[19:01] <mobilefrogge> IndyGunFreak:  didja get that?
[19:01] <kcaj> Heya
[19:01] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, im not familiar w/ that device, what chipset is it?
[19:01] <kcaj> Here is my pastebin... http://paste.ubuntu.com/27106/ <--- thge results of ifconfig -a and iwconfig
[19:02] <mobilefrogge> i dont know
[19:02] <mobilefrogge> i can look it up
[19:02] <xpecs> hi @ all
[19:02] <Dex-Freudii> King_of_Hearts: who are you talking to? me?
[19:02] <King_of_Hearts> ok, about the server edition disk
[19:02] <ikonia> kcaj: ok - so your wirless card is wlan0 - thats why you can't get the card up
[19:02] <King_of_Hearts> I have been able to validate the disk on a different unit
[19:02] <Dex-Freudii> King_of_Hearts: I see that you didn'├Š sorry
[19:02] <Krepta> The apt-get of the flash plugin didn't fix the problem
[19:02] <mobilefrogge> broadcom bcm 4306
[19:02] <kcaj> ikonia: I can still see wireless networks and such with it... um, what am I supposed to do to switch the wlan0 or whatever?
[19:03] <IndyGunFreak> !broadcomm | mobilefrogge
[19:03] <IndyGunFreak> !broadcom | mobilefrogge
[19:03] <ikonia> kcaj: what happens if you try to connect to a wirless network on the device wlan0
[19:03] <mobilefrogge> thanks
[19:03] <kcaj> I use the cutter stuff to get the proper drivers, which is what I think mobilefrogge has to do
[19:03] <mobilefrogge> cutter stuff?
[19:03] <bbyever> ’╗┐Syberjj: i still get errors. with 'aoss audacity' it tells me to configure my microphone and with 'aoss gnome-sound-properties' i get the same error when trying the sound capture...
[19:03] <kcaj> ikonia: It doesn't matter because right now, phsycially, iA only have a wired connection and no open wifi near me.
[19:03] <kcaj> synaptics for "broadcom"
[19:04] <ikonia> kcaj: that would be somethhing I'd be interested in seeing, if you could configure wlan0
[19:04] <kcaj> Well last night
[19:04] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[19:04] <kcaj> It would confiogure, it would jsut stay at 0$, because wlan:autohi or whatever would come up for me...
[19:04] <ikonia> kcaj: no, just wlan0
[19:04] <ikonia> kcaj: not wlan:autohi
[19:04] <kcaj> Well hmm, there is a closed wifi near me
[19:05] <kcaj> Should I try and connect to it and then give you back the output?
[19:05] <greenfish> how do you playback dvds in ubuntu? i followed the ubuntuguide.org but it complains about deps after update
[19:05] <ikonia> kcaj: do you know the password for it ?
[19:05] <Dex-Freudii> I am having trouble trying to mount some data CDs burnt in Windows (I think Vista)... I get the error: bad mount option trying to mound UDF Volume in gnome ... any idea??
[19:05] <IndyGunFreak> !dvd | greenfish
[19:05] <kcaj> No, ctually. If I could get my card working I could do aircrack or something
[19:05] <bbyever> !sound
[19:05] <greenfish> !medibuntu
[19:05] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: i would recommend going the medibuntu route... it really is the easiest way
[19:05] <jacob_n> On hardy is it possible to 'downgrade' the Japanese font to the way it looked in gutsy? I much prefer the older font...
[19:05] <kcaj> I'm sure that my drivers and such work now, as before the "wifi" light on my laptop was missing... now it is present, and it scans networks, and I can see networks.
[19:06] <ikonia> kcaj: thats not acceptable, attempting to crack password will not be supported on this channel
[19:06] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: well those are the reps im using right now, and its not working
[19:06] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: then you're doing something wrong
[19:06] <jonaskoelker> nevermind, router reset fixed it
[19:06] <kcaj> Is there some kind of more comprehensive network manager?
[19:06] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: you added the medibuntu repository?
[19:06] <kcaj> I read around last night and it seems like that might be the problem, that my network manager isn't handling the card properly, and I'm sure that, the problem is probably something related to that
[19:07] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: IndyGunFreak  deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free
[19:07] <ikonia> kcaj: as it stands, I can't see a problem, I'd walk through configuring wlan0 with you to determain that
[19:07] <kcaj> ikonia, well, tomorrow, I'll have a wire, and an open wifi
[19:07] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: don't know, i've never done it that way, but adding the repository should work.
[19:08] <FTB> Hmm?
[19:08] <kcaj> but until then I mean, I can tell you 100% that no matter how I tried to connect to an open wifi last night, NOTHING worked. It would just stay at 0% when the icon changed to the "wifi bars"
[19:08] <kcaj> Although, when i would left click, I could see the connections were avaiulable with like 50%+ signal
[19:08] <theRealBallchalk> is it easy running a different window manager in ubuntu?
[19:09] <Downix> Yes it is
[19:09] <Downix> I switch between KDE, E and TWM quite often
[19:09] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: this is what I get on all those deps HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 510 Not Extended
[19:09] <IndyGunFreak> theRealBallchalk: yeah, you install it, log out, choose to log into the other one, and log in
[19:09] <Pithecanthropus> hello all
[19:09] <Julouste> How can I balance network load across two interfaces?
[19:10] <hateball> Julouste: bonding them
[19:10] <Downix> I'm getting a tad fustrated with this kubuntu install on my Xeon
[19:10] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: well i just updated apt, and medibuntu responded fine, so you've done something not right.
[19:10] <Downix> on my Athlon64, no problems
[19:10] <Pithecanthropus> does anyone know the command line / terminal command to save settings and make sure ubuntu loads them on next start for alsamixer?
[19:10] <mobilefrogge> there's a chance that i might be having a hardware issue, that the motherboard isn't reconizing the linksys card, does anyone know how i can find out if there's a mother board issue?
[19:10] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: hmm okay, I even tried to use their links through wget, same deal
[19:10] <__yy> mobilefrogge: you could see if it shows up in lspci
[19:10] <TtyS2> where can i find the trashcan in cli
[19:11] <mobilefrogge> see, that's what i just tried, but i'm not sure if it's there or not
[19:11] <mobilefrogge> should it say broadcomm?
[19:11] <IndyGunFreak> !pastebin | greenfish please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:11] <__yy> mobilefrogge: if it's a broadcom card, yes it should
[19:11] <theRealBallchalk> indygunfreak: what about if compiled from source?
[19:11] <emma> I'm about to go meet a seller at starbucks to check out a used ThinkPad x31.  I was thinking I could bring a liveCD with me to test it out. Are there any suggestions for things to check out, to see if it will work well with Ubuntu?
[19:11] <IndyGunFreak> theRealBallchalk: compiled what from source?
[19:12] <mirek> hi
[19:12] <IndyGunFreak> emma: wireless, compiz.. sound(someof them have creative hi def sound, which is sometimes an issue(but can be made to work)
[19:12] <theRealBallchalk> as in not packaged but source code
[19:12] <mobilefrogge> is there any generic thing that would be in lspci that would indicate wirless card?
[19:12] <thingy> Ensure that sound/wireless/battery status/suspend & resume/hibernate work
[19:12] <FTB> Hmm?
[19:12] <__yy> mobilefrogge: no
[19:13] <mobilefrogge> k thanks
[19:13] <IndyGunFreak> mobilefrogge: no, you'd be able to distinguish your wireless device.
[19:13] <thingy> Emma, Ensure that sound/wireless/battery status/suspend & resume/hibernate work
[19:13] <IndyGunFreak> mobilefrogge: that snot a USB device is it?
[19:13] <mobilefrogge> no
[19:13] <RobbingDaHood__> Hello everyone... are there anyone there can help me with wpa:supplicant freez?
[19:13] <mobilefrogge> pci
[19:13] <__yy> mobilefrogge: try lshw -C network
[19:13]  * IndyGunFreak has never gotten suspend/resume to work, but hibernate is fine
[19:14] <emma> thingy: is that stuff i can check from the livecd ?
[19:14] <IndyGunFreak> emma: you could also google that model of laptop w/ like "ubuntu 8.04" see if other users are reporting problems... if there si a real prob, you'll see a pattern.
[19:14] <mobilefrogge> yy, that's not a proper....uhh...command?
[19:14] <Pithecanthropus> be right back
[19:14] <nedev> can someone help me
[19:14] <rokra> Hi
[19:14] <nedev> about voip
[19:15] <__yy> mobilefrogge: you may not have lshw installed, I don't think it is by default
[19:15] <Ab3L> hi
[19:15] <RobbingDaHood__> nedev: with what?
[19:15] <greenfish> can someone help? im getting massive errors after I installed a deb file of libdvdcss2 http://pastebin.com/m78d9913
[19:15] <nedev> how can I start lowratevoip under ubuntu
[19:15] <Steve^> Where does the ubuntu install of apache2 keep its config files?
[19:15] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: you don't listen at all do you?
[19:15] <RobbingDaHood__> nedev: ahhh... I don't even know what it is ;)
[19:16] <mobilefrogge> what is a gtk version of a program?
[19:16] <Steve^> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf   looks promising, but its missing things like DocumentRoot
[19:16] <emma> Does anyone here have any words of caution or encouragment about the prospect of running Ubuntu on a ThinkPad x31 series? It's an older one but a thinkpad.
[19:16] <Flannel> emma: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X31
[19:16] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: huh?
[19:16] <nedev> ok
[19:16] <Flannel> Steve^: site specific things are in your virtualhost file.  /etc/apache2/sites-available/*  What are you looking for?
[19:16] <IndyGunFreak> emma: i can already tell you you're gonna have suspend issues.
[19:17] <IndyGunFreak> emma: first three hits on google are about suspend..lol
[19:17] <emma> Is that a serious problem?
[19:17] <trinux> Steve^: the directories in /etc/apache2 are also loaded. see the include lines in apache2.conf
[19:17] <trinux> Steve^: more like the files in those directories
[19:17] <nedev> If someone know something about lowratevoip.com application under ubuntu please let\s tell me
[19:17] <Calida> ’╗┐hi there, as i am not sure how this works here i am just going to pop my question. I have problems with my raid on my kubuntu machine, and i would need help if anyone is able to help me with it ;)
[19:17] <IndyGunFreak> emma: i don't see why it would be if you don't suspend.
[19:17] <Steve^> thanks Flannel, trinux
[19:18] <belkinhelp2> in the lm sensors applet.....temp 1 temp2 temp3 stand for what sensors?
[19:18] <IndyGunFreak> emma: looks like this *could* be an issue...  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/224876
[19:18] <belkinhelp2> what can i do to tell which temp belongs to which sensor?
[19:18] <emma> I've never had a laptop so I'm unsure of some issues.
[19:19] <belkinhelp2> im assuming the hottest is the CPU and the coolest is the motherboard with the hard drive somewhere in between
[19:19] <Flannel> Steve^: module specific configurations are in their respective .conf files in mods-available, virtual host specific things are in sites-available.  You use a2(en|dis)(site|mod) to enable/disable sites and modules
[19:19] <belkinhelp2> but i would like to be certain
[19:19] <emma> Okay we'll see I guess. I have a chance to get it for 300 USD which seems like a good value?
[19:19] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: again "huh" <---
[19:19] <IndyGunFreak> emma: easiest thing, is to dualboot it for a period while you work out the kinks...
[19:19] <Downix> *sigh*
[19:19] <emma> Yep I will dualboot a laptop.
[19:19] <herrmess> I have an nvidia 8400GS and the Screen Resolution shows 1024x768 as the highest possible resolution... !
[19:19] <IndyGunFreak> greenfish: nevermind.. if you can't see the forest for the trees, i'm not gonna hand hold you, i've told you twice what to do.
[19:19] <belkinhelp2> Indy.....can you hand hold me for a second?
[19:19] <emma> Thanks for the input.
[19:19] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[19:20] <belkinhelp2> what temp in the lm sensors go to which sensor?
[19:20] <greenfish> IndyGunFreak: im on irssi .. in a terminal.. that means the text gets nullified after certains lines....
[19:20] <IndyGunFreak> emma: good luck, that looks like a smokin deal.
[19:20] <dimedo> help: i changed from nvidia-glx-new to nvidia-glx because of graphic problems in native linux opengl games, the bugs are gone but my window borders including the title bar are gone too.
[19:20] <belkinhelp2> i have 3 temperature readings and no indication which one goes where
[19:20] <Flannel> greenfish: you can page up/down.  Anyway.  pastebin your sources.list, anything in sources.list.d and the output to your sudo apt-get update
[19:20] <IndyGunFreak> belkinhelp2: i'm not real familiar w/ lmsensors.. haven' really messed w/ it.
[19:20] <dimedo> im on hardy amd64

[19:22] <Jouva> hey quick question, how do I go about changing the video card for X in Hardy?
[19:22] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[19:22] <IndyGunFreak> Jouva: the video card?
[19:23] <Jouva> I just had to switch over from an external card to an onboard for testing some issues with my machine and now X won't start
[19:23] <RobbingDaHood__> Hello everyone... are there anyone there can help me with wpa:supplicant freez?
[19:23] <Jouva> and I know it's because I changed video
[19:24] <IndyGunFreak> Jouva: you're probably gonna have to reconfigure X, would be my guess..
[19:24] <Jouva> IndyGunFreak: well duh ;) my question is HOW :P I know there' automated ways
[19:24] <Jouva> But I don't know what way is prefered with hardy
[19:24] <IndyGunFreak> Jouva: well you didn't ask that, you asked what was wrong.
[19:25] <IndyGunFreak> Jouva: you'll proably just have to boot to CLI, and reconfigure.., i mean, no other way to put it.
[19:25] <Jouva> No I asked how to change it
[19:25] <Jouva> Again, how do I change it?
[19:25] <IndyGunFreak> !x
[19:25] <Jouva> thank you
[19:26] <IndyGunFreak> Jouva: look at the fix part
[19:26] <IndyGunFreak> its sudo reconfigure something

[19:28] <e-hiv> i'm trying to run x-plane which is 32 bit
[19:28] <e-hiv> it tries to use python but it doesn't like the 64 bit binaries
[19:29] <andycan2> When does the 2.6.25.xx kernel show up in ubuntu's updates?
[19:29] <Downix> anyone had any luck in having kubuntu w/ kde4's add program utility, well, working?
[19:29] <d0wn> Where would I put a program I wrote into so I could run it from any directory?
[19:30] <Downix> d0wn: /usr/local/bun
[19:30] <jin> d0wn, /usr/bin /usr/local/bin or just /bin
[19:30] <d0wn> Downix, jin: thanks!
[19:30] <Downix> You know, it is disturbing seeing someone using my old handle...
[19:31] <Flannel> d0wn: Put it in /usr/local/bin
[19:31] <Calida> anyone who can help me with a raid problem?
[19:31] <Downix> belilabs:  man, a fanclub!
[19:31] <RobbingDaHood__> Hello everyone... are there anyone there can help me with wpa:supplicant freez?
[19:31] <Downix> 8)
[19:31] <Downix_wannabe> Downix, because you have the monopoly  on that handle?
[19:32] <Flannel> Downix: You might try #kubuntu (and they might redirect you to #kubuntu-kde4, I'm not sure if KDE4 stuff is in kubuntu, or separate)
[19:32] <Downix> Downix_wannabe:  I do have the trademark, so yes, legally I do.
[19:33] <Jouva> IndyGunFreak: I found what I essentially needed. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:33] <Downix> Flannel:  not much activity in #kubuntu, I'll check the other tho, thank you.
[19:33] <Jouva> That's all I was asking for all along
[19:34] <IndyGunFreak> Jouva: pretty much
[19:34] <Downix> belilabs:  But, just me commenting on seeing my old handle of D0wn on someone else.

[19:35] <ciacon> hi folks - is it possible to install (k)ubuntu on a g4 iBook and what 'hardware-difficulties' should / may I expect?

[19:36] <Flannel> ciacon: You'll need to get the PPC ISO (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04.1/release/) and then I believe you'll need to use yaboot

[19:46] <orthodoc_> adblock can be installed as an extension...
[19:46] <IndyGunFreak> dannyboy: there's an FF extension for that

[19:46] <orthodoc_> dannyboy: just look in the /tmp folder...
[19:47] <orthodoc_> the file is stored as an flv file...
[19:47] <orthodoc_> just save the file to your folder before you close the page and you've got your youtube video
[19:48] <awox> orthodoc_: Why go to the website when you can just clive a URL?

[19:51] <Enki74> Hello all.  I have a minor annoyance I wonder if anyone knows about.  Using Carrier/Pidgin, I have added the hotkeys plugin, and bound a key combination to the show/hide Buddy Window action.  But if I hit it a few times, the Buddy Window shows up only in the background, never on top of other windows.  Is there a way to have it show up in the foreground?

[19:59] <Adman65> anyone know a good link to where i can find out how to setup a regular install on a usb flash drive

[20:00] <orthodoc_> bye guys...
[20:00] <Guest2939> what would it be called
[20:00] <Stale> I added this too the /etc/sudoers Cmnd_Aliases IR_CMDS = /etc/init.d/iguanaIR, /usr/sbin/lircd. And gave them to a user. But only the iguanaIR works, not lircd.
[20:01] <Hardy_Feisty> brightness applet
[20:01] <Enki74> Okay, maybe nobody cares, but I fixed my problem.  In the advanced compiz settings, I turned "focus stealing prevention" off, and then Pidgin is able to pop up as the top window whenever it needs to.  We'll have to see if other apps pop up annoyingly now...

[20:18] <mobilefrogge> Carpe|Diem:  you can see your stuff, but you can't edit it like in windows
[20:19] <tmapj> Fezzler type "uname -a" into the terminal and tell me what it says
[20:19] <ubuntu> man m in this room for the first time
[20:19] <Carpe|Diem> ok, ty orionr and mobilefrogge
[20:19] <ubuntu> waht is is this
[20:19] <malocite> ahh thats better....
[20:19] <ubuntu> don't understand
[20:19] <Fezzler> tmapj: Linux CPF-UBUNTU 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[20:19] <buzain> clear
[20:19] <phreck> any idea Flannel ?
[20:19] <Flannel> phreck: Usually when you make install, it'll get put into /usr/local/ (/usr/local/bin, with other stuff in the other /usr/local directories)  /usr/local/bin is in your path.
[20:20] <tmapj> fezzler i dont know how to help you
[20:20] <Fezzler> tmapj: Thanks.
[20:20] <malocite> I have just reinstalled Ubuntu and have my /home folder on a different drive, but I currently cannot access it, and I cannot remember how to correct this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
[20:20] <Flannel> phreck: If you want to just move it, you can move it to /opt and then add that path (/opt/vmware/whatever) to your path
[20:20] <phreck> So by dropping it in user/local/bin i may fix my issue?
[20:20] <thorny_sun> is there a way to know where a file is located?  i.e. if i want to know where svn is-- how would i do that?
[20:20] <tmapj> your welcome, sorry
[20:20] <Flannel> phreck: The binary, yes.  And the other files in their corresponding /usr/local/* directories
[20:20] <Flannel> thorny_sun: which svn
[20:21] <Fezzler> Can anyone help me troubleshoot my nvidia GeForce FX 5500 setup?  All I have is 800x600 and no Compiz at all.
[20:21] <kray> Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything.
[20:21] <thorny_sun> Flannel: thanks!!
[20:21] <thorny_sun> which!!  where have you been all my life
[20:21] <Fezzler> Or, please. someone confirm that I should give up as Hardy does not work fully with nvidia as Fiesty and Gutsy did.
[20:23] <Fezzler> Flannel: Any ideas?
[20:23] <ajit_ubuntu> Hi, can someone help me..? I have installed Sun xVM VirtuaBox on UBUNTU HARDY, but I am not getting my internal drives, pen drives and internet connection. what should I do?
[20:24] <malocite> I have just reinstalled Ubuntu and have my /home folder on a different drive, but I currently cannot access it, and I cannot remember how to correct this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
[20:24] <phreck> i can move anything into the usr/bin folder
[20:25] <Zamadatx> is ther ea less crowded version of this chat?
[20:25] <Stale> I added this too the /etc/sudoers Cmnd_Aliases IR_CMDS = /etc/init.d/iguanaIR, /usr/sbin/lircd. And gave them to a user. But only the iguanaIR works, not lircd.
[20:25] <Flannel> Fezzler: If it keeps asking you to restart, something's not right.  (I have no idea whats not right, but something.) This may help the screenres: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Low%20Screen%20Resolutions
[20:25] <Zamadatx> is there a less crowded version of this chat??
[20:25] <Flannel> Zamadatx: Have you installed ccsm yet?
[20:25] <Zamadatx> no
[20:26] <Zamadatx> i typed compiz --replace
[20:26] <Zamadatx> it reloaded windows
[20:26] <malocite> Zamadatx: I could do with a few more actually :) Supports a little light for me today :(
[20:26] <Flannel> Zamadatx: compiz is enabled by default, so that's not necessary.  You will however need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:26] <Flannel> Zamadatx: or simple-ccsm for a simpler one
[20:26] <Zamadatx> i typed compiz in the add remove orgram thing
[20:26] <Zamadatx> porgram*
[20:27] <Zamadatx> i downloadded it
[20:27] <matt444> ok, so i accidentally closed a gnome-terminal. can I somehow go back and get the output is it still there somewhere?
[20:27] <Flannel> Zamadatx: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[20:27] <Zamadatx> newest
[20:27] <malocite> matt444: What output did you want to recapture?
[20:27] <Zamadatx> installed and got it yesterday
[20:27] <matt444> malocite:  output of commands i ran
[20:27] <mado> hi guys ...
[20:28] <cowbud> matt444: the commands you run may still be available in history but that also depends on how many terminals you had open..
[20:28] <malocite> matt444: If you relaunch the gnome-terminal and press the uparrow you can re-run the commands if you don't emember them
[20:28] <Flannel> Zamadatx: you *dont* need to install compiz-fusion.  It's installed by default.  You *do* need to install the settings manager.  Add/remove probably won't have it.  use synaptic, or sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, and then it'll show up in your preferences
[20:28] <matt444> cowbud:  how do i retrieve history?
[20:28] <mado> can you help please? ... i'm looking for a "ubuntu 8.04"-geforce9500-driver
[20:28] <matt444> malocite:  can't rerun them.
[20:28] <Zamadatx> what is synaptic?
[20:28] <sume> my machine hangs from time to time, i'm running ubuntu 8.04... where should I look to find out the cause?
[20:28] <temoto-mobi> How to mount SD card?
[20:28] <malocite> matt444: I was afraid of that :)
[20:28] <Flannel> Zamadatx: Its a graphical package manager, similar to add/remove (not as simple, but more powerful)
[20:29] <Zamadatx> where do i find the shortcut to it?
[20:29] <Flannel> Zamadatx: System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager
[20:29] <Zamadatx> k
[20:29] <sume> : my machine hangs from time to time, i'm running ubuntu 8.04... where should I look to find out the

[20:33] <Guest11258> well i guess i didnt id myself intime so they picked a random user which is guest11258
[20:34] <pvl1> Yacht, oy sorry no idea
[20:34] <Flannel> thorny_sun: in .bash_profile, you might already have something that includes ~/bin, it adds it to your $PATH
[20:34] <persian_x> just did a partial upgrade, after reboot i have no sound, Alsa driver seems fine all configs work tho
[20:34] <thorny_sun> oh
[20:34] <Guest11258> how do i change the guest user back to my user?
[20:34] <pvl1> Yacht, but look into gparted
[20:34] <kray> Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything.
[20:34] <Zamadatx> okay lot came up which one do i want?
[20:34] <sume> my machine hangs from time to time, i'm running ubuntu 8.04... where should I look to find out the cause?

[20:35] <persian_x> I have no sound after my partial upgrade, I'm running 7.10 2.6.22 kernel with latest alsa, my audio is nvidia high def, can anyone help?
[20:35] <pvl1> is it possible to switch to realtime?
[20:35] <Zamadatx> nvm found it
[20:35] <hagus> What are the partitions that ubuntu typically installs?
[20:35] <Yacht> I figured.
[20:35] <Yacht> It's definitely not as easy as flicking on a light switch, I know that much.
[20:35] <Yacht> pvl1: what about formatting a microSD card in general, can you help me with that? I can try to figure it out on my PPC as long a I have general directions
[20:36] <nickrud> hagus if you let the installer do everything, / and swap
[20:36] <Yacht> pvl1: realtime?
[20:36] <Dratt> have a problem with bind9 on ubuntu... anyone familiar with bind?

[20:36] <Zamadatx> yay
[20:37] <hagus> ty nickrud :)
[20:37] <pvl1> Yacht, the package gparted should be able to do it for you very easily and raltime is  like a specific linux kernel i believe which is very effecient for things like movie editing
[20:37] <genii> Yacht: sudo mkfs.msdod -F16 /dev/<devicenamegoeshere>
[20:37] <genii> mkfs.msdos     rather
[20:37] <Flannel> persian_x: What is a "partial upgrade"?
[20:37] <genii> I need more caffeine
[20:37] <persian_x> update manager suggested me a partial upgrade yesterday
[20:37] <Zamadatx> whats the difference between cube and rotate cube?
[20:37] <pvl1> Yacht, the question wasnt directed at you about realtime. but you should really look into gparted for ur problem
[20:37] <gnumm> when i upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 (i reinstall via cd), can i use my previouse /home partition as new /home partition?
[20:37] <nickrud> Zamadatx there's a lot of stuff there, I'm only going to recommend one:  turn on expo , and try moving the mouse to the bottom right of the screen and clicking the left mouse button.
[20:37] <Yacht> pvl1: thanks, i will
[20:37] <Zamadatx> i mean liek how would u go to the other sides in cube?
[20:38] <thorny_sun> Guest11258:  i have no idea-- what app are you using?
[20:38] <pvl1> Yacht, np
[20:38] <Flannel> persian_x: Try doing the rest of the upgrade.
[20:38] <nickrud> Zamadatx enable cube and rotate cube. Then ctl-alt-left/right arrow
[20:38] <pvl1> is it possible to switch to realtime from a norm install?
[20:38] <thorny_sun> Flannel: actually i just found it-- in my .profile-- just like you said-- it checks for the /bin directory and if it's there, then it adds it to path
[20:38] <Guest11258> Xchat
[20:38] <persian_x> flannel: the rest of the upgrade would be installing 8.04 LTS
[20:38] <thorny_sun> Flannel: though i'm not seeing where my .profile is being loaded?  do you know?
[20:39] <hagus> nickrud: I have installed too many different flavours of linux and some of the installations did not complete properly.  I am trying to decide which ones can go and leave myself with Vista and Ubuntu.  At present I have sda1 to sda8.

[20:39] <Zamadatx> splash
[20:39] <gnumm> when i upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 (i reinstall via cd), can i use my previouse /home partition as new /home partition?
[20:40] <thorny_sun> Guest11258: sorry don't know anything about xchat-- i'm using pidgin-- but there are irc commands you can access with the forward slash command
[20:40] <nickrud> haggus99 I'd recommend about 10-15 gb for / , swap = ramX2 up to 2gb (unless you want hibernate, then ram+100mb if needed) and as much for /home as you can spare
[20:40] <thorny_sun> try '/help'
[20:40] <hagus> I can see that that I have windows as sda1 and ubuntu as sda8.

[20:45] <thorny_sun> Guest11258: if you want games i don't think you should be running ubuntu
[20:45] <pvl1> hagus, you just need to edit ur menu.lst. or im pretty sure running "sudo grub-update" would do it for you
[20:46] <pvl1> hagus, but i could be wrong
[20:46] <thorny_sun> Guest11258: that is still windows territory
[20:46] <carib909> I understand but I cannot put sudo if you are dragging to the location....
[20:46] <pvl1> hagus, if you want, u can pastebin your menu.lst and i might be able to edit it for you seeing taht you know ur partition table
[20:46] <Guest11258> oh i know that, thats why i have 5 laptops...
[20:46] <lesshaste> what's a good digital camera app to download my pics?
[20:46] <Zamadatx> is there any way to get compiz to stay as a cube when you press ctrl alt down?
[20:46] <pvl1> carib909, no sudo give u root permission, so you do "sudo cp /dir /dir"
[20:47] <Flannel> carib909: alt-f2, `gksu nautilus` then you can move them.  be *extremely* careful, and close that window as soon as you're done.

[20:49] <pvl1> izmeh, oh then no there shouldnt be any problem

[20:53] <pvl1> Zamadatx, no not really. you can pm ppl tho
[20:53] <Flannel> Zamadatx: #ubuntu-classroom, but it'll take longer for answers
[20:53] <__yy_> [TiZ]: you could sudo chmod -x -R /path/to/windows/mount/point
[20:53] <xocite> xxschwartzxx: http://ubuntu-releases.wallawalla.edu/8.04/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[20:53] <Arianna> Hi
[20:53] <suselin> Zamadatx, your question may be enlightening ask it in the open
[20:53] <malocite> is that a new release of Hardy?
[20:53] <Guest11258> sup @ari
[20:53] <Flannel> malocite: its a point release, yes.
[20:54] <Arianna> I just installed obuntu (hardy) for the first time... never used linux before at all, kind of made a rushed choice because my XP realised it wasn't valid and locked me out... :P
[20:54] <pen> No sound in flash after upgrade just a moment ago in firefox, what should I do ?
[20:54] <Arianna> now i'm on my PC because I can't get my laptop to get online
[20:54] <malocite> Flannel: Standard updates will do though right, I don't need to install it
[20:54] <carib909> pvl1 i am currently in the usr/src/alsa folder. I want to issue this command  sudo cp /media/Non System Data/Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2  but I keep getting an error saying target ┬┤data/downloads/alsa-driver* is not a directory
[20:54] <[TiZ]> __yy: Oh, also. I forgot to mention. If I sudo Nautilus and try to change any of the files that way, to remove the execute permissions, the execute permission will immediately reapper.
[20:54] <freddy_> Hello, i just installed ubuntu 8.04, i've heard that there is some sort of script that will install all the basic stuff on the system for me, like flash player, codecs, mp3, etc etc.....you guys know anything about this? thanks.
[20:54] <Flannel> malocite: correct.  It really only is a "new release" in the sense that there are new ISOs
[20:54] <pvl1> carib909, put quotes around the directores, always quotes if there are spaces
[20:54] <malocite> Flannel: Do you know anything about using a different drive as a home folder?
[20:54] <manvo> i have a problem with the pcsx version included in ubuntu repositories, i configured it but when i try to open a game it suddenly closes, can anyone help me?
[20:55] <t35t0r> is there someway to calculate the read speed of a drive using time and dd ?
[20:55] <Arianna> is there anywhere i can go that kind of has a basic guide for complete noobs for making my internet work? :(
[20:55] <crimsun> pen: dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree|awk '/^ii/ {print $3}'
[20:55] <Guest11258> are you going to connect wirelessly or wired@ari
[20:55] <carib909> ok thanks  i┬┤ll try that
[20:55] <Arianna> i'd prefer wireless
[20:55] <Flannel> malocite: You can mount a separate partition as your homedir, sure.  Its easiest to do during the install itself
[20:55] <Arianna> but neither are working at present
[20:55] <FTB> Hmm?
[20:55] <freddy_> hrmm im pretty sure there is
[20:55] <hagus> pvl1: I have found my menu.lst :)
[20:55] <Arianna> its a crappy crappy acer laptop
[20:55] <pen> crimsun, <IP_ADDRESS>+<IP_ADDRESS>5ubuntu1~hardy1+really<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu2
[20:55] <Arianna> atheros wireless if that helps
[20:55] <hagus> It is not empty as I had I had thought.
[20:55] <Arianna> realtek ethernet
[20:55] <pvl1> hagus, good job. is it correct now
[20:55] <Arianna> neither are working
[20:55] <malocite> FLannel: If I do it during the install phase will it overwrite whats already there?
[20:55] <hagus> Not yet.
[20:55] <hagus> I have just found it.
[20:56] <Arianna> i d/led madwireless but i dont even know where to start w/ that
[20:56] <[TiZ]> Arianna: is it the rtl8187?
[20:56] <pen> crimsun, is it better now to downgrade?
[20:56] <Arianna> lol i wouldn't know :/
[20:56] <Arianna> this laptop was given to me without any documentation
[20:56] <Flannel> malocite: No.  You say "use this partition as /home, don't format it" and it wont touch stuff
[20:56] <freddy_> anyone know of this scrip? to install the basic stuff...like flash player...codecs...etc? i just installed 8.04 thanks..
[20:56] <Guest11258> go to your terminal and type in ifconfig or iwconfig
[20:56] <Flannel> freddy_: There is no script.  But all of those things are easy to install.
[20:56] <[TiZ]> Arianna: Does it not connect to any wireless network at all, or does it connect and drop connection later?
[20:56] <crimsun> pen: that should be 9.0.124, which is what hardy shipped with
[20:56] <xxschwartzxx> So to install to an external hard drive, i burn the iso to a cd, then diconnect my normal hd, start up my computer and put in the cd with the iso and install?
[20:56] <pvl1> hagus, well this guide should set it all up so that it works. is the file empty?
[20:56] <Arianna> it doesn't recognise that networks exist
[20:56] <Arianna> its like neither card is there
[20:56] <crimsun> pen: I can assist you in #ubuntu-audio-help if you have further questions
[20:57] <freddy_> something like easyubuntu
[20:57] <xocite> xxschwartzxx: You can do it that way.
[20:57] <Arianna> i can plug in my ethernet and it doesnt detect anything, and it doesn't detect my wireless either
[20:57] <freddy_> or something like that
[20:57] <pen> crimsun, what should I do to make my sound back?
[20:57] <xxschwartzxx> Thanks
[20:57] <pen> crimsun, I just upgrade it
[20:57] <freddy_> thanks flanned
[20:57] <freddy_> flannel*
[20:57] <malocite> Flannel: Ahh... I just re-installed but didn't pick that option and was trying to work backwards and it was't working.... so basically doing it that way I can just specify use this drive. and bang, when I login as that new user it will use that directory
[20:57] <[TiZ]> Arianna: Right click on your network icon, then click Connection Information, and tell me what the Driver is
[20:57] <danand_> malocite - add your /home partition to the /etc/fstab file. you can find the uuid with the command blkid
[20:57] <hagus> No the file has 9 installation entries in it :)
[20:57] <hagus> No the file has 9 installation entries in it :) pvl1 :)
[20:57] <Guest11258> have you tried power cycling your cpu and laptop with the eports connected
[20:57] <Flannel> Arianna: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking  See especially the WirelessTroubleshootingGuide, it will explain how to figure out what chipsets you have, etc.
[20:57] <xxschwartzxx> I'm so happy i can install it to my external, i have no space left on my internal for another OS.
[20:57] <crimsun> pen: please join the channel that I mentioned.
[20:57] <pvl1> hagus, then it should be fine now
[20:57] <Guest11258> what version are you using
[20:57] <harveyd> I have a script that runs fine when I run it in a shell, but fails from a cron, all the paths are fine
[20:58] <xocite>  xxschwartzxx You don't HAVE to disconnect the internal to install to an external harddrive.
[20:58] <kdavid> Hi how do I add KDE 3.5.9 to Ubuntu?
[20:58] <Flannel> freddy_: Those are all dead projects, their needs have been nullified by the newer versions of Ubuntu and a few other repositories
[20:58] <harveyd> I have no idea in the world what can be wrong, doing my head in
[20:58] <Flannel> kdavid: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[20:58] <xxschwartzxx> xocite: well on the guide on penddrievlinux.com or something it says that you should
[20:58] <xxschwartzxx> so it doesn't overwrite windows or something
[20:58] <freddy_> Flannel: i found it, is called EasyUbuntu
[20:58] <freddy_> thanks man
[20:59] <hagus> Hm - I have not write access now :)
[20:59] <freddy_> that scripts install all the basic stuff without the hasle
[20:59] <Flannel> freddy_: Yes, that's a dead project.  Don't use it
[20:59] <kdavid> flannel thanks!
[20:59] <freddy_> oh
[20:59] <freddy_> lol
[20:59] <xocite> xxschwartzxx: That guide is for novices - just so you don't select the wrong installation location.
[20:59] <freddy_> :(
[20:59] <freddy_> thanks again
[20:59] <carib909> In this command only ┬┤Downloads┬┤ need quotes? sudo cp /media/Non System Data/Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2
[20:59]  * nextplace needs help
[20:59] <Flannel> malocite: Its not the only way, and you can do it manually too.  But during the install is the easiest (because you don't have to do anything)
[20:59] <pvl1> haggus99, to the file you maen?
[21:00] <xocite> nextplace: If you want something, ask for it.
[21:00] <xxschwartzxx> xocite:  oh i didnt know it worked like that, iam novice, but not THAT novice. I know where is where lol..
[21:00] <danand_> freddy_ - do you want to install codecs etc??
[21:00] <Zamadatx> what are some good 3d games for ubuntu?
[21:00] <nextplace> I want to sync my SonyEricsson PhoneBook with Thunderbird
[21:00] <Flannel> carib909: You need to escape the spaces in Non\ System\ Data, or put the whole thing in quotes.  Tab completion will do this automatically.
[21:00] <danand_> !codecs
[21:00] <pvl1> carib909,  sudo cp "/media/Non System Data/Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2"
[21:00] <danand_> !medibuntu
[21:00] <Zamadatx> what are some good games for ununtu
[21:00] <xocite> xxschwartzxx: If you are installing from a pendrive, it may be different; I have never attempted that before.
[21:00] <Flannel> !games | Zamadatx
[21:00] <nextplace> Zamadatx: QT:ET
[21:00] <Zamadatx> qtLet/
[21:00] <Zamadatx> ?
[21:00] <julle_> my cd/dvd burner has stopped working. I have a regular cd-player also which is identified. But after i upgraded to hardy it stopped working. It says it can't get mounted?
[21:00] <xocite> Zamadatx: nethack is your best choice
[21:00] <carib909> pvl1 thanks. What is tab completion?
[21:01] <nextplace> Zamadatx: Quake Wars: Enemy Territory
[21:01] <spiongraz> Zamadatx try Enemy Territory
[21:01] <thorny_sun> is my .profile ever being read?  it doesn't seem like it..
[21:01] <Zamadatx> ok
[21:01] <xxschwartzxx> xocite: I'm just installing from my external hard drive,  that's all i know lol
[21:01] <thorny_sun> why would i have it if it's not being read?
[21:01] <pvl1> carib909, well Flannel was the one that said that but if you hit tab, itll finish a word for you
[21:01] <nextplace> I want to sync my SonyEricsson PhoneBook with Thunderbird
[21:01] <spiongraz> its older tho way better and free than quake wars
[21:01] <pvl1> carib909, try it out
[21:01] <spiongraz> which is just gay
[21:01] <spiongraz> -.-
[21:01] <freddy_> danand_: yes i want!
[21:01] <Zamadatx> whats the best program not in ubuntu that i should get?
[21:01] <freddy_> and mp3!
[21:01] <freddy_> and flash player!
[21:02] <pvl1> Zamadatx,for what purpose?
[21:02] <Zamadatx> anything
[21:02] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[21:02] <Zamadatx> best program not in ubuntu
[21:02] <pvl1> Zamadatx, well if it aint linux, i guess an anti virus?
[21:02] <danand_> !medibuntu | freddy
[21:02] <Zamadatx> no i mean programs not included in ubuntu that i should get
[21:02] <thorny_sun> what's the difference between a bash login shell and a normal bash shell?
[21:02] <xocite> xxschwartzxx: I hope your installing _to_ an external drive and not *from* one.
[21:03] <ralf_> hi
[21:03] <Zamadatx> the best program for ubuntu not already in it
[21:03] <thorny_sun> anyone?
[21:03] <thorny_sun> bueller?
[21:03] <danand_> freddy - think you need the good the bad and the ugly :)
[21:03] <pvl1> Zamadatx, oh, well that can be disputed, and youd need to compile it usually
[21:03] <xocite> Zamadatx: your questions are silly.
[21:03] <thorny_sun> xocite: what do you think of my question?
[21:04] <Ab3L> good night
[21:04] <Arianna> Question: I am trying to made my atheros wireless work and have downloaded MadWifi... does anyone know where I can find a complete beginners guide to making it work?
[21:05] <xocite> thorny_sun: a bash login shell reads /etc/profile
[21:05] <xocite> thorny_sun: and probably reads ~/.bash_logout
[21:05] <lt> whatson
[21:05] <lt> whats up
[21:05] <lt> i'm back
[21:05] <pvl1> Arianna, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75451
[21:05] <xocite> thorny_sun: it's "interactive,"
[21:05] <Arianna> awesome thanks
[21:05] <thorny_sun> xocite: but what does it mean to be a bash login shell?  vs. a normal shell?
[21:05] <xxschwartzxx> xocite: i install from a cd to an external hard drive
[21:06] <pvl1> Arianna, np
[21:06] <Guest84123> how do i reply to the nickserv
[21:06] <yowshi> hopw do i check for and fix a possible broken repo source?
[21:06] <thorny_sun> xocite: when i click Applications/Accessories/Terminal-- what am i opening?
[21:06] <yowshi> like re-set up my sources
[21:06] <xocite> thorny_sun: it means that when you log in, your shell will be bash
[21:06] <xocite> thorny_sun: I believe the default is bash
[21:06] <Guest84123> ok
[21:06] <avis> can you connect to multiple networks using the xchat-gnome package ?
[21:06] <xocite> Guest84123: /msg nickserv
[21:07] <ratpoison> hello! How do I change my samba workgroup name?
[21:07] <Starnestommy> thorny_sun: you're opening /usr/bin/gnome-terminal, which usually opens bash
[21:07] <Zamadatx> any suggestions for a simulator game for ubuntu that i should get?
[21:07] <xocite> axisys: yes
[21:07] <Jordan_U> avis, Yes
[21:07] <Guest84123> thanks
[21:07] <IndyGunFreak> avis: i would imagine you could,
[21:07] <Jordan_U> Zamadatx, Flight simulator?
[21:07] <pvl1> Zamadatx, flight gear
[21:07] <kray> Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything.
[21:07] <nextplace> Zamadatx: Flight-Gear
[21:07] <avis> Jordan_U: could you tell me how please ?  when i've tried in the past it would close existing networks.  its a different package from plain ole "xchat" :)
[21:07] <thorny_sun> Starnestommy: xocite: ok but is it opening an "interactive bash" shell, and is that shell a "login" shell or no?
[21:07] <nextplace> lol
[21:07] <Zamadatx> im guessing flight gear is a flight simulator
[21:07] <Guest84123> well i'm a try that
[21:08] <pvl1> Guest51151, go to the tab with the nickserve, first one
[21:08] <thorny_sun> Starnestommy: xocite: the man pages make a disctinction between the two, and depending on which on it is, then it loads different dot files
[21:08] <nextplace> Zamadatx: otherwise it woun't be xalled FLIGHT Gear
[21:08] <Zamadatx> i was just making sure
[21:08] <nextplace> Zamadatx: :)
[21:08] <xocite> thorny_sun: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_63.html

[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> mado: do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[21:09] <mado> i couldn't find a driver in the "restricted driver"-section
[21:09] <axisys> xocite: yes about what?
[21:09] <xocite> thorny_sun: typically, if you can type commands into a terminal, the shell is interactive
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> mado: thats kinda weird
[21:09] <xocite> thorny_sun: an non-interactive shell is typically used with shell scripts (/bin/sh)
[21:09] <mado> nvidia-settings? ... is that a package IndyGunFreak? ... i am a beginner with linux
[21:09] <xocite> s/an/a
[21:10] <IndyGunFreak> mado: yes, its a package, but if you don't have the nvidia driver enabled, its useless..
[21:10] <xocite> axisys: if xchat-gnome can connect to multiple networks
[21:10] <IndyGunFreak> mado: what version of ubuntuj are you using?
[21:10] <thorny_sun> xocite: that's the same man page i was reading-- apparently an interactive shell can be a "login" shell or not-- it could be either--- and i'm tyring to figure out which mine is
[21:10] <Jordan_U> avis, irc -> connect
[21:10] <mado> uhuu i see ... *thinking*
[21:10] <axisys> xocite: I did not ask anything about that.. i am guessing u were trying to respond to someone else
[21:10] <pvl1> is there a package for a realtime kernel or something?
[21:10] <mado> someone sent me this link IndyGunFreak -> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490
[21:11] <avis> your right Jordan_U :)  i was pretty sure i had tried that too. :/  crazy.  thank you :)
[21:11] <Jordan_U> pvl1, Yes
[21:11] <CMD_L1N3> i need to reinstall my 2.6.24-19-generic kernel are there any howto's

[21:11] <ratpoison> hello! How do I change my samba workgroup name?
[21:11] <Guest26795> i typed in /msg nickerv, but what next afterthat
[21:11] <mado> with this link i still don't know what to do exactly
[21:11] <thorny_sun> xocite: i'm thinking Terminal is a interactive non-login shell, based on the fact that it doesn't seem to be reading my .profile
[21:11] <xocite> thorny_sun: if you start bash within a terminal, like this "/bin/bash" then it is not a login shell, if you start a terminal then you will have a login shell
[21:11] <DigitalNinja> Does anyone know if greylisting is still effective?
[21:11] <Jordan_U> pvl1, linux-image-rt
[21:12] <Starnestommy> Guest26795: that depends on what you're trying to do

[21:12] <mado> so now what IndyGunFreak?
[21:12] <xocite> thorny_sun: your ~/.profile or your ~/.bash_profile
[21:12] <xocite> ?
[21:12] <IndyGunFreak> mado: i'm not really sure, i'm surprised its not in restricted driver.
[21:12] <thorny_sun> xocite: my ~/.profile

[21:12] <xocite> thorny_sun: "mv ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile"
[21:13] <Jordan_U> pvl1, Actually you probably want "linux-rt" as that brings in restricted modules as well
[21:13] <thorny_sun> i don't have a ~/.bash_profile
[21:13] <mado> there was something on the nvidia-site IndyGunFreak ...
[21:13] <thorny_sun> xocite: but the man pages say if it's not there it'll look at my .profile
[21:13] <IndyGunFreak> mado: i know nothing about that, i just use the restricted driver, and all is well.

[21:13] <thorny_sun> this is all so confusing-- why do that have to make it so complicated
[21:13] <danand_> !info xmms
[21:13] <IndyGunFreak> gilead: xmms is discontinued, why would you want it?.. use audacious.
[21:13] <pvl1> Jordan_U, should i remove the linux-iamge-rt then?
[21:13] <mado> but i can't install it ... every time i run the file it says i'm running x-server
[21:14] <axisys> Guest26795: run it w/o rtfm
[21:14] <mado> how can i shut it down and still install it?
[21:14] <brady_k> hey everyone
[21:14] <Guest26795> ok

[21:14] <IndyGunFreak> !xmms | gilead
[21:14] <xocite> thorny_sun: hmm, I suppose you are using gnome-terminal.  If so, place your commands in ~/.bashrc instead of ~/.{profile,bash_profile}
[21:14] <mado> i tried ctrl+alt+F1 for example to run the file in a non-graphical mode ... still it didn't work IndyGunFreak
[21:14] <Big> hello, i was wondering do you think having partitions as NTFS is not stable than having them as EXT3 for linux usage ?
[21:14] <gilead> IndyGunFreak: is audacious good for module playing?
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> module playing?
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> no idea
[21:15] <gilead> hm
[21:15] <brady_k> i've got a question about installing Hardy ... for some reason it won't recognize my cd-drive (which it is running Install from on CD) after the keyboard-recognition part...
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> mado: i really don't know what your problem is.
[21:15] <flowy> .
[21:15] <thorny_sun> xocite: see-- i think gnome-terminal is a "interactive non-login" bash shell
[21:15] <Jordan_U> pvl1, No, linux-rt depends on linux-image-rt anyway, it just brings in other useful things as well
[21:15] <mado> and erm IndyGunFreak ... you said you use the "restricted driver" ... do you have the same graphics card as me?
[21:15] <insomninja> never mind; found it

[21:15] <xocite> thorny_sun: gnome-terminal won't initiate a loginshell while a tty will
[21:15] <flowy> How do I automatically start x when booting up mu machine. I deinstalled and reinstalled X and now it dows not autostart anymore. Can anybody please assist me on this one? I googled for days! I am on Ubuntu 8.04
[21:15] <Jordan_U> pvl1, np
[21:15] <Zamadatx> whats the best media player for ubuntu according to most?
[21:15] <xocite> thorny_sun: yes, you are right
[21:15] <dave11> oh great..kopete wont quit
[21:15] <thorny_sun> xocite: even when i do what you say-- mv'ing the profile-- it still doesn't seem to be reading it
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> mado: no, but most nvidia devices are going to work w/  the restricted driver
[21:15] <Jordan_U> flowy, Install gdm
[21:15] <IndyGunFreak> !best | Zamadatx
[21:16] <axisys> flowy: dpkg-recondfigure xserver-xorg
[21:16] <xocite> thorny_sun: moving it to ~/.bashrc ?
[21:16] <thorny_sun> xocite: do you have any idea why the distinction exists-- so confusing
[21:16] <thorny_sun> xocite: havne't tried that yet
[21:16] <thorny_sun> one sec
[21:16] <xocite> thorny_sun: look at this link
[21:16] <axisys> flowy: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[21:16] <mado> well IndyGunFreak ... i need to change the resolution ...
[21:16] <mado> currently it is 800 x 600
[21:16] <Zamadatx> anyone have any preferences on a media player?
[21:16] <mado> but i need at least 1024 x 768 IndyGunFreak

[21:16] <ratpoison> brady_k: have you tried sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/<whateveryourdevicenameis> /media/<whatever> -o loop ?
[21:16] <mado> and i can't change it
[21:16] <pvalley> xine
[21:16] <chetnick> hi guys, i have like 4-5 inbound connections to my ubuntu box on port 31485. Does this port has something to do with ubuntu update or something like that?
[21:17] <brady_k> ratpoison: from the command line during install?  no.  but when i do "ls /dev" it runs by too quick (and is too large) for me to try and figure out what the device name even is
[21:17] <Guest26795> how do i write the commands
[21:17] <seth_g> axisys: Guest26795:  LOL!!!!!
[21:17] <jbroome> brady_k: ls /dev/ | less
[21:17] <ratpoison> try ls /dev | less
[21:17] <mado> all i have in the system-menu-resolution-change-menu is "800 x 600" and "640 x 480"
[21:17] <pvalley> Zamadatx XINE
[21:17] <Guest26795> i know thats funny, i'm laughing at myself now
[21:17] <Guest26795> lol
[21:18] <brady_k> ratpoison: alright... that will work, even though most of the options for ls are disabled?  (i tried)
[21:18] <flowy> gdm is installed and x starts normally, when I type startx
[21:18] <axisys> !xorg > flowy
[21:18] <flowy> !xorg
[21:18] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, The login shell sets up your environment variables
[21:18] <seth_g> Guest26795: i was just pointing out how to rtfm
[21:18] <kray> Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything.
[21:18] <pteeb> restart your X server by ctrl+alt+backspace too
[21:19] <danand_> flowy - take a look at your init scripts - /etc/rc2.d for instance. you should probably have a ref to gdm or kdm in there. ie on my system S30gdm. that script starts gdm / X for you at boot
[21:19] <thorny_sun> Jordan_U: as far as i can tell,  i'm never running in a login shell?
[21:19] <ratpoison> brady_k: this will send the output from ls to less, which is like a program to read large files from the terminal
[21:19] <Guest26795> ok thanks
[21:19] <thorny_sun> every terminal a launch is a non-login shell
[21:19] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, No, not as I understand it
[21:19] <Guest26795> i will get the hang of this somehow
[21:19] <Ayabara> I have problems recording sound from my Dell XPS M1530s internal microphone. I have set "Digital Mic 1" as Digital Input Source, and the Digital volume is at max and umuted.
[21:19] <Zod21> hey
[21:19] <Zod21> whats up fellas
[21:19] <thorny_sun> i'm very confused
[21:19] <Ayabara> I think that used to work before.
[21:20] <thorny_sun> and i agree with the creator of this ticket xocite just posted
[21:20] <Zod21> dude i finally got irssi workin
[21:20] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, Do you know what environment variables are?
[21:20] <Zod21> this is badass
[21:20] <Splex> anyone else having troubles with the new ati driver?
[21:20] <Guest26795> hey does anyone has problem playing their dvds on ubuntu 8.0? i know i am
[21:20] <Zamadatx> alot of people say that
[21:20] <xocite> thorny_sun: it's probably defined explicity by some complicated standard
[21:20] <Jordan_U> !dvd | Guest26795
[21:20] <thorny_sun> Jordan_U: I suppose-- they're OS level variables that are available to every app?
[21:20] <Dr_willis> Guest26795,  you did install the dcss stuff?
[21:20] <Zod21> on dvds you need to get libdvdcss
[21:20] <Zod21> install it
[21:20] <brady_k> ratpoison: ok.  two questions before i reboot and try again:  (a) sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/<whateveryourdevicenameis> /media/<whatever> -o loop ... just like that, replacing whateveryourdevicename is with what I find?  (b) what do I call it for /media/<whatever>?
[21:21] <Zod21> there are two files and you need both
[21:21] <xocite> thorny_sun: think of it this way, if you login in through the console, it's a login shell, if you use a terminal, you don't have to login, so it's not a login shell
[21:21] <Zamadatx> whats the !blah I name   supposed to mean?
[21:21] <Splex> when i run in full screen, and go out of full screen, graphics are all corrupted until i kill the program
[21:21] <Guest26795> dcss?
[21:21] <Zod21> libdvdcss
[21:21] <Zod21> search that in google
[21:21] <Zod21> you should find something
[21:21] <thorny_sun> xocite: ok-- i guess that makes sense-- but why would they be reading different startup stuff
[21:21] <Zamadatx> ’╗┐whats the !blah I name   supposed to mean?
[21:21] <danand_> !info libdvdcss
[21:21] <danand_> !info libdvdcss2
[21:21] <Dr_willis> Guest26795,  read the url the bot posted --> see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html
[21:21] <danand_> crap
[21:21] <Iteki> hi! anyone suggest a good library software (for your dvds, books, games etc) in ubuntu? something like collectorz or libra
[21:21] <ratpoison> brady_k: doesn't really matter, just remember to sudo mkdir /media/<foldername> before
[21:22] <pvalley> ok i can't use sudo for some reason i type:sudo aptg-get install k3b type my pass word and get Sorry, try again.
[21:22] <Zamadatx> ’╗┐whats the !blah I name   supposed to mean?
[21:22] <thorny_sun> xocite: shouldn't the non-login terminal inherit whatever the login terminal's already loaded?
[21:22] <brady_k> ratpoison: ok sounds good... wish me luck!
[21:22] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, Sort of, I wouldn't call them "OS level" but yes ( you can create your own environment variables and have them inherited by any application a specific shell starts with "export" )
[21:22]  * brady_k luck!
[21:22] <Zamadatx> ’╗┐whats the !blah I name   supposed to mean?
[21:22] <brady_k> ratpoison: thanks, be back in a few
[21:22] <danand_> Guest26795 - check out medibuntu repositories for libdvdcss2
[21:22] <merula> hey hey
[21:22] <merula> !printing
[21:22] <Dr_willis> Zamadatx,  i dont think anyone knows what you are refering to.. ! are befor bot commands..
[21:23] <Zamadatx> o
[21:23] <[TiZ]> All of the files on my NTFS partition have execute permissions set. Whenever I try to open one, it asks me if I want to execute it or display it. I want to remove the execute bit from all of my files on it. If I try to modify the permissions of any file from gksudo Nautilus, the checkbox that indicates executability will immediately recheck itself. I've tried all sorts of exotic chmod solutions, aside from chmod -R 666 (don't want to do that
[21:23] <[TiZ]> , 'cos then I can't browse directories). None of them have worked yet. What do I do?
[21:23] <xocite> thorny_sun: it does
[21:23] <pvalley> where am ii going wrong with that have they changed sudo?
[21:23] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, But there are some basic ones that make sense to set at login, the most obvious is probably $HOME which will be different for every user but not every shell
[21:23] <Zamadatx> Dr willis the swap file worked on reboot thanks
[21:23]  * delcoyote hi
[21:23] <Zod21> hey what up
[21:23] <Guest26795> yea i have installed gxine, libdvdread3 (dev)
[21:23] <Dr_willis> [TiZ],  you need to set the proper options in the fstab file normally.  umask,dmask, fmask.  but i never cen rember the right options to use.
[21:24] <Zod21> its libdvdcss
[21:24] <thorny_sun> xocite: Jordan_U: right-- so if my .profile (which is only read by login-shell's) has a line that add's ~/bin to the path it will only do so the next time i run a login shell-- correct?
[21:24] <Dr_willis> [TiZ],  you do NOT chmod/chown ntfs filesystems. it wont work. :)  you mount them with the proper options
[21:24] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, So rather than initialize these variables every single time a shell is started, these specific variables are set once at login
[21:24] <thorny_sun> which in my case is probably on restart?
[21:24] <pvl1> Jordan_U, i just installed the rt and its running much slower than the norm
[21:24] <[TiZ]> Dr_willis, Do those mask options apply to ntfs-3g? I know they did to vfat.
[21:24] <Xsploit> what would be the command to give read/write permissions to user 'x' in all recursive folders of /var/www ?
[21:25] <evilbug> how do i install kde in hardy aside from kubuntu-desktop because i don't want all the bundled apps, just kde?
[21:25] <thorny_sun> xocite: Jordan_U: since i only just added the ~/bin dir just now
[21:25] <xocite> thorny_sun: if you use a graphical login manager, this variables that Jordan_U is referring to is typically set before the initialization of X
[21:25] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, Yes
[21:25] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, Whereas if you make a .bashrc that will be run with every new shell
[21:25] <Chimp_away> whats the best way of updating my video card driver?
[21:25] <xocite> thorny_sun: place "export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin" in your ~/.bashrc
[21:25] <Dr_willis> [TiZ],  it works the same for ntfs-3g., vfat, and ntfs i belive..  a ntfs guide on the topic is here 0-> http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#common_mount_options
[21:25] <hagus> pvl1: When I try to save my menu.lst to /media/sda8/boot/grub - it will not let me as I do not have permissions.
[21:25] <dannyboy> anybody here got a perl ebook?
[21:25] <thorny_sun> xocite: so all i'd have to do is restart x?
[21:26] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, You can also always use "source" to re-run your .profile in a specific shell
[21:26] <Guest26795> now thats what i need(perl ebook)
[21:26] <Dr_willis> dannyboy,  ive seen many on various websites for download, or guides.
[21:26] <thorny_sun> xocite: Jordan_U: but someone (i'm assuming ubuntu wizards) already put that code in my .profile for a reason?
[21:26] <[TiZ]> Thank you very much, doctor. :)
[21:26] <pvl1> hagus, how did you load it editor?
[21:26]  * hagus is using knoppix live cd
[21:26] <thorny_sun> Jordan_U: ah interesting
[21:26] <hagus> I used konsole to load kate menu.lst
[21:26] <thorny_sun> xocite: how do you restart x?  ctl-alt-backspace?
[21:27] <xocite> thorny_sun: yes
[21:27] <pvl1> hagus, load it from a terminal by doing "sudo gedit /yourmenulst"
[21:27] <Dr_willis> dannyboy,  http://linuxlinks.com/Books/
[21:27] <pvl1> hagus, and then save it
[21:27] <flowy> danand_:  S30gdm is in the dir, but how do I get it to start at boot?
[21:27] <hagus> ty pvl1 :)
[21:27] <gilead> hehe, IndyGunFreak, you should've told me that Audacious looks and feels like XMMS :) And, btw, it's perfect for mod/stm/s3m/xm/etc playback!! :)
[21:27] <pvl1> hagus, np
[21:28] <merula> alright folks, I'm having a hell of a time sharing my usb printer on Hardy to my local network's WinXP machines. Any ideas?
[21:28] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, Yes, you will notice that checking for a $HOME/bin and if it's there adding it to your path is only possible after login but does not need to be done with every new shell.
[21:28] <evilbug> would "sudo apt-get install kde" suffice and would i need to access some other repos?
[21:28] <d3vlabs> hi I have ubuntu 8.04 installed right now. I need to put windows vista on the same machine so i have vista and ubuntu
[21:28] <Xsploit> what would be the command to give read/write permissions to user 'x' in all recursive folders of /var/www ?
[21:28] <d3vlabs> how do I proceed
[21:29] <khin> hey... i noticed that since upgrading to hardy from dapper i cannot hibernate effectively: all the programs close out as in a restart. i can suspend effectively. however, for long term down time this is not really acceptable
[21:29] <thorny_sun> Jordan_U: right
[21:29] <merula> Xsploit, check `man chmod`
[21:29] <ratpoison> evilbug: I think the proper way is apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, lemme check
[21:29] <thorny_sun> Jordan_U: xocite: thank for helping me understand-- makes more sense now...
[21:29] <merula> Xsploit, I think there's a recursive option in there
[21:29] <khin> although suspend seems to use almost no power but that was over a length of only six hours
[21:29] <ratpoison> evilbug: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html#other-desktop-kde
[21:30] <Jordan_U> d3vlabs, Boot from a linux LiveCD, resize your Ubuntu partition, install Vista ( Vista will rudely remove Ubuntu's bootloader, grub ) then get grub back by following:
[21:30] <Jordan_U> !grub | d3vlabs
[21:30] <khin> for longer times i do not know
[21:30] <pvl1> hagus, brb have to reboot again
[21:30] <d3vlabs> thank u jordan
[21:30] <flowy> gdm is installed and x starts normally, when I type startx. How do I get gnome to start at boot?
[21:30] <hagus> pvl1: Could not save the file /media/sda8/boot/grub/menu.lst. You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[21:31] <evilbug> ratpoison- and i have to manually uninstall all the other apps i won't need?
[21:31] <Jordan_U> thorny_sun, It is all about a division between what should be done when and what should be configurable by the user, for instance users can't modify /etc/profile but they can modify their own .profile
[21:31] <Xsploit> ok, whats the command to list the current permissions for a folder?
[21:32] <merula> !chmod | Xsploit
[21:32] <Jordan_U> flowy, Do you have a file /etc/init.d/gdm ?
[21:32] <ratpoison> oh, I'm not sure how to completely remove GNOME. There is a blog post somewhere, I can google it. But from personal experience, I think that backing up your /home/  and installing kubuntu from scratch is much better
[21:32] <Jordan_U> ratpoison, Who is asking about removing all of gnome?
[21:32] <flowy> Jordan_U: yes
[21:33] <braden_> kubuntu is badass but i like gnome
[21:33] <evilbug> ratpoison- no no no, i'm talking about just removing some apps that are installed with kubuntu-desktop
[21:33] <evilbug> ratpoison- i don't want to remove gnome.
[21:33] <merula> Is anybody able to help me with a printer sharing issue?
[21:33] <zod21> oh ok
[21:33] <cchance> Guys how can i tell without opening the case what memory slots are covered in my notebook?
[21:33] <ratpoison> evilbug: oh, that's what I thought you meant. Yeah, sure, then you just apt-get remove them. But having both GNOME and KDE is kind of a blot imho
[21:34] <Jordan_U> flowy, If you stop X and run "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" does it start?
[21:34] <ratpoison> bloat*
[21:34] <evilbug> ratpoison- thanks.
[21:34] <Chimp_away> whats the best way of updating my video card driver?
[21:34] <tatofoo> how can I load xterm in a given workspace?
[21:34] <flowy> Jordan_U:  I have to try,  What if it doesn't or does what should I do next?
[21:34] <izmeh> pvl1, back
[21:34] <FAJALOU> ello:  something has happened to my compiz fusion:  i have fusion-icon, and normally i login with compiz, but today when i tried to, emerald didn't work, and everything froze up, i had to switch back to metacity.   and when i switch to compiz through fusion-icon, emerald doesn't work, and compiz overall doesn't work...
[21:35] <ratpoison> evilbug: anyway, take a look at this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde
[21:35] <cchance> Guys how can i tell without opening the case what memory slots are covered in my notebook?
[21:35] <zod21> yeah nocive that is pretty badass
[21:35] <nocive> uh?
[21:36] <zod21> i did that a while back and it works but its better to pick one main large desktop environment
[21:36] <evilbug> ratpoison- i just want to see if i can get used to kde, thanks.
[21:36] <merula> ratpoison, would you happen to know anything about sharing a printer from a box with hardy on it, such that a WinXP box can connect to it? I've tried several things on the wiki and I'm at a loss.
[21:36] <nocive> zod21: what's pretty badass?
[21:36] <Zamadatx> is there something similar to sim city for linux?
[21:37] <ratpoison> merula: sorry, no.... usually is someone knows then they reply
[21:37] <crimsun> Zamadatx: opencity?
[21:37] <FAJALOU> Zamadatx: Simcity works on ubuntu
[21:37] <hagus> For someone who likes to use mysql and php, will ubuntu server do all that ubuntu desktop does?
[21:37] <Zamadatx> without wine?
[21:37] <Jordan_U> flowy, If it works install bum or use update-rc.d to enable it at boot
[21:38] <glitsj16> cchance: run "sudo lshw -html > /path/to/where/you/want/sysinfo.html" .. it will have the memory info you're looking for
[21:38] <merula> ratpoison, I know the rules... I just figured most of the helpful people were on break or were being overwhelmed with help questions. Thought I'd ask directly. >.<
[21:38] <Jordan_U> Zamadatx, Yup, it's open source but only the original version
[21:38] <Zamadatx> whoever said open city thanks ALOT
[21:38] <bob3213243> I was wondering if it possible to use windows to log into a ubuntu box? I have samba setup and access it over the LAN I'm trying to access it from a WAN.
[21:38] <hagus> I already have ubuntu plus xampp for linux.  Would ubuntu server be better for me?
[21:39] <Zamadatx> well i play sim city 4 on my windows but i was wondering more about open source projects
[21:39] <izmeh> hey pvl1
[21:39] <hagus> Ah, pvl1 you are back :)
[21:39] <nocive> bob3213243: log into terminal or X session?
[21:39] <pvl1> izmeh, hagus, ey
[21:39] <pvalley> Zamadatx then you might want to check out Lincity
[21:39] <adlkjasldjasd> f
[21:39] <bob3213243> nocive I'm trying to access it from windows.
[21:39] <jerbear> is there a good app out there that will allow me to set keyboard shortcuts to start specific commands?
[21:40] <hagus> pvl1: When I tried saving, I received the following error message: Could not save the file /media/sda8/boot/grub/menu.lst. You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[21:40] <nocive> bob3213243: yes, i know. but you want to log in through SSH or to a X session?
[21:40] <Zamadatx> do tar.bz2 fiels work on ubuntu?
[21:40] <__yy> Zamadatx: of course
[21:40] <pvalley> Zamadatx yes they do
[21:40] <hagus> When I tried to chmod 777 the menu.lst it would not let me.
[21:40] <merula> !printing
[21:40] <pvl1> hagus, oi thats not good
[21:40] <Jordan_U> Zamadatx, Yes, but most likely the software you want is available in synaptic
[21:41] <Zamadatx> is that a linux standard?
[21:41] <Zamadatx> opencity?
[21:41] <pvl1> hagus, can you pastebin your /etc/fstab file?
[21:41] <Jordan_U> Zamadatx, Yes
[21:41] <Zamadatx> i highly doubt but ill check
[21:41] <flowy> Jordan_U:  Thanlks I will give it a try
[21:41] <octal> jerbear: superkb.sourceforge.net (not in repositories, though)
[21:41] <bob3213243> nocive ahh. is there a way to access it via a gui rather than a command prompt?
[21:41] <Leefmc> Question: Can ffmpeg convert a sequence of images into an encoded movie?
[21:41] <jerbear> octal: do you use that yourself?
[21:41] <remsoft> hello everybody
[21:41]  * hagus has not used pastebin for a year or so - what do I do?
[21:41] <nocive> bob3213243: yes. if you just want SSH, download putty for windows and log in to your ubuntu box
[21:42] <octal> jerbear: yes
[21:42] <Zamadatx> hmm it is lol
[21:42] <jerbear> octal: what are the alternatives?
[21:42] <nocive> bob3213243: if you want a X session you need cygwin and enable X forwarding in SSH
[21:42] <jerbear> octal: just curious what the options are
[21:42] <octal> jerbear: xbindkeys
[21:43] <Zamadatx> my keyboard is usb and i cant have my speakers up high or i get ALOT of noise any way to reduce this?
[21:43] <solexious> [Q] what can i use to locate a file in terminal?
[21:43] <Zamadatx> wireless usb*
[21:43] <nickoe> Hi
[21:43] <nocive> solexious: locate or find
[21:44] <solexious> nocive thank you
[21:44] <Zamadatx> can i do anything to reduce noise to my speakers from my wireless keyboard and mouse?
[21:44] <pvalley> nickoe ask your question and plz wait
[21:44] <nickoe> Is it a advantage to make  two partitions, with two mount points, like / and /home?
[21:44] <nocive> solexious: locate searches through a indexing database. you should run updatedb before calling locate
[21:44] <pvalley> nickoe not really
[21:45] <pvalley> using the default should be fine
[21:45] <Guest80438> LT
[21:46] <khin> well i tried some weird stuff involving editing the grub boot menu to make a separate option for resuming from hibernation, dunno if it will work.
[21:46] <unop> nickoe, one advantage is that it is you don't have to shift the contents off of /home if you do decide to format your root and reinstall
[21:46] <khin> not bothering to risk having to reboot at the moment
[21:47] <Zamadatx> any way to reduce noise from my wireless keyboard and mouseto the speakers?
[21:47] <hagus> pvl1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27130/
[21:47] <khin> question, is there some way that ubuntu can turn my laptop into a transformer
[21:47] <nocive> lol
[21:47] <pvalley> Zamadatx you could switch to wired speakers
[21:47] <Zamadatx> the speakers are
[21:47] <Zamadatx> the keyboard and mouse arnt
[21:47] <Zamadatx> but the speakersstill have noise
[21:48] <nocive> Zamadatx: what sound card ?
[21:48] <Jordan_U> Zamadatx, Get a better sound card :)
[21:48] <mado-ka> hi guys ... i can't change my screen-resolution ... can you guys help me?
[21:48] <octal> Zamadatx: when I had that problem, it was an electrical problem on the mainboard.
[21:48] <pvalley> do you have them turned up all the way?
[21:48] <pteeb> maddler, need to install drivers for your graphics card i'm sure
[21:48] <nocive> he left :X
[21:48] <glitsj16> khin: you can add a "resume=/dev/xxx" parameter to your existing boot options in grub, did you try that already ?
[21:48] <xocite> mado-ka: tried xrandr?
[21:48] <pvl1> hagus, howd u mount that drive?
[21:49] <merula> exit
[21:49] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, Do you have the proper drivers installed for your graphics card?
[21:49] <merula> blah sorry
[21:49] <hagus> It is not mounted :)
[21:49] <mado-ka> pteeb: xocite ... i looked into the "restricted driver"-section and installed "nvidia-glx-new" ... nothing helped
[21:49] <anakron_> HI!
[21:49] <pvl1> hagus, actually, pastebin the output for mount in a terminal
[21:49] <anakron_> im looking for Leann Ogasawara
[21:50] <hagus> I simply accessed it by following the icon-link from the desktop in knoppix live.
[21:50] <mado-ka> the restricted-driver-section doesn't show me anything for download
[21:50] <anakron_> someone knows where is he
[21:50] <Fezzler> What does this mean? "NVIDIA OpenGL Driver requires CPUs with SSE to run. The current CPU does not support SSE."
[21:50] <pulse00_> hi there. i just installed the gnome-do amarok plugin, but somehow it doesn't work. as far as i can tell it's not installed where it should ... -> ~/.local/share/gnome-do/plugins. this folder is empty.
[21:50] <crimsun> anakron_: she's not online ATM.  It's the weekend, and most Canonical employees take the weekend off work.
[21:50] <anakron_> ok thx!
[21:50] <anakron_> but he log into this channel'
[21:50] <anakron_> ??
[21:50] <Slart> Fezzler: what kind of cpu is in the computer?
[21:51] <d0wn> how do i uninstall software i've install with make install?
[21:51] <seth_g> Canonical?
[21:51] <xocite> mado-ka: I can't give you distro specific help, sry.
[21:51] <Slart> d0wn: make uninstall
[21:51] <crimsun> anakron_: she doesn't usually, but you can find her in #ubuntu-kernel normally.
[21:51] <pulse00_> d0wn, make uninstall usually
[21:51] <mado-ka> xocite: a pity
[21:51] <anakron_> ok thx!!1 bybye
[21:51] <glitsj16> d0wn: from the install dir, run sudo make uninstall
[21:51] <Fezzler> Slart: Athlon
[21:51] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: ... now what?
[21:51] <pulse00_> anyone using the gnome-do amarok plugin ?
[21:51] <unop> Fezzler, what CPU do you run?
[21:52] <mado-ka> i thought about changing the graphics card :)
[21:52] <d0wn> slart, pulse00_, glitsj16: i've tried that, but only recieve uninstall Error 2
[21:52] <mado-ka> but there has to be an other option :)
[21:52] <jiyuu> jj
[21:52] <Fezzler> unop: AMD Athlon
[21:52] <xocite> mado-ka: I'm not running Ubuntu, so I'm not familiar with the packages you are talking about.
[21:52] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[21:52] <mado-ka> xocite: i see
[21:52] <Slart> Fezzler: athlon not capable of doind SSE??? weird
[21:52] <glitsj16> d0wn: what app are you trying to remove ?
[21:52] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: ... just a sec
[21:52] <d0wn> Nevermind - it uninstalled
[21:53] <glitsj16> k
[21:53] <Slart> d0wn: well.. you'll have to ask whoever made the program then.. what was it?
[21:53] <d0wn> but it was Bigloo 3.1a
[21:53] <unop> Fezzler, strange - http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Streaming+SIMD+Extensions says AMD supports SSE
[21:53] <glitsj16> a big loo, always a blessing
[21:53] <Truefire> Lol.
[21:53] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: http://phpfi.com/331818
[21:54] <pvl1> Jordan_U, i remove the linux-rt package and stuff, and now ic ant boot into my usual boot
[21:54] <Fezzler> I'm just trying to get Compiz working with nvidia after upgrade to HArdy and tonight I think I will officially throw in the towel and give up.  EnvyNG didn't work (when you Enable it unistalls Envy) too darn hard
[21:54] <Jordan_U> pvl1, What happens when you try to boot?
[21:54] <Fezzler> This is my last attempt and then I put this to rest and give up.
[21:55] <Fezzler> Any ideas?
[21:55] <glitsj16> Fezzler: what model nvidia card do you have ?
[21:55] <geo> Fezzler:  I had a lot of problems setting it up also
[21:55] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: ... i'll wait then
[21:55] <hagus> pvl1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27132/
[21:55] <unop> Fezzler, envyng supercedes envy -- you can't have both
[21:55] <unop> !envyng
[21:55] <d0wn> Has anyone tried the Roadsend PHP compiler?
[21:55] <Slart> Fezzler: well.. I don't know what you've tried so far.. but I would start by trying the restricted drivers thingy.. see if that works..
[21:55] <geo> Fezzler:  I eventually got it working with a fresh install of ubuntu and Envy NG with some kind of instructions I found on the internet
[21:56] <Slart> Fezzler: envyng seems to work for many people too
[21:56] <sbattey> My synaptics  touchpad does not work after a suspend to ram, help? (hardy)
[21:56] <geo> it was rather frustrating though
[21:56] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, Interesting, it doesn't specify to use the nvidia driver
[21:56] <mado-ka> well somebody told me i should i should install it ... so i did
[21:56] <pvl1> Jordan_U, i have a nice splash screen and it gets about like a third of the way, the splash screen gets a black marking underneath the load bar and it stops loading. idk where to look for the logs, im in a livecd right ow
[21:56] <mado-ka> should i uninstall it?
[21:56] <DreamBoat> trying to get EQ working on Ubuntu 8.04 and with Wine. Any help out there? PST
[21:57] <Fezzler> Yea, perhaps a fresh install of Hardy and the upgrade is/was the issue.
[21:57] <mado-ka> this computer has a nivida geforce 9500 graphics card in it
[21:57] <malocite> Help! I've just re-installed ubuntu, my /home directory is on a different drive, and when I try to login I get various errors in gdm including can't create dir /home/malocite/Desktop etc and in the console I cannot browse the directories unless I am root
[21:57] <malocite> the home folders all have stuff in them already
[21:57] <unop> malocite, take ownership of that /home/user directory
[21:58] <malocite> unop: By sudo chown malocite /home/malocite ?
[21:58] <unop> malocite, first - is malocite your username?   to find out.  echo $USER
[21:58] <pvl1> hagus, run sudo mount -a, and pastebin me the outcome of mount then
[21:58] <xocite> malocite: also, see if you are part of the malocite group
[21:58] <malocite> yes it is
[21:59] <mado-ka> can i edit the file you told me to show you so that i can change the resolution??
[21:59] <Fezzler> When I use the Hardware Driver app it uninstalls EnvyNG and then seems to go into a cycle of endlessly asking me to restart and limits me to 800x600.  At Envy Gives me good screen resolution.
[21:59] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: ?
[21:59] <unop> malocite, secondly - is /home/malocite your home directory --  grep -i $USER /etc/passwd
[21:59] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, Are you sure nvidia is enabled in hardware drivers?
[21:59] <malocite> xocite: echo $GROUP ?
[21:59] <malocite> xocite: echo $GROUP ? - Nothing comes up
[21:59] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: ... hardware drivers doesn't show me a thing
[21:59] <xocite> malocite: look in /etc/group
[21:59] <unop> malocite, you need  the  groups command  for that
[21:59] <unop> malocite,  groups; id
[22:00] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, How did you install the nvidia drivers again ( or am I thinking of the wrong person? )
[22:00] <malocite> malocite:x:1000:1000:Howard,,,:/home/malocite:/bin/bash
[22:00] <xocite> malocite: like unop said, make sure /home/malocite is your directory, make sure you are part of your own group, and then
[22:00] <xocite> malocite: if that is the case, "sudo chown -R malocite:malocite /home/malocite"
[22:00] <unop> malocite, now you can take ownership ..
[22:00] <mado-ka> dunno ... i installed "nvidia-glx-new" because someone told me to ...
[22:00] <malocite> unop: How do I see what group I am in?
[22:00] <hagus> It tells me -a is an invalid option.
[22:00] <Moptop650> Is it possible to boot to command-line only on a Ubuntu 6 live CD?
[22:00] <unop> malocite,  groups; id
[22:00] <mado-ka> i used the command "sudo apt-get install "
[22:00] <Jordan_U> pvl1, When you boot hit escape to see the grub menu, from there you can try recovery mode and / or boot an older kernel version
[22:00] <Zamadatx> hey im running open city and its flashing black in some spots
[22:00] <hagus> pvl1: it tells me -a is an invalid option
[22:00] <unop> Moptop650, no, but you can kill X after booting up
[22:01] <Jordan_U> Moptop650, Yes
[22:01] <Zamadatx> i can run sim city 4 on windows so i should be able to run this
[22:01] <Moptop650> Jordan - How?
[22:01] <malocite> unop: ok, malocite is the first thing to appear in the groups list.
[22:01] <Jordan_U> Moptop650, edit the kernel parameters to add "1" to the end which should start you in single user mode
[22:01] <pvl1> hagus, and your putting in "sudo mount -a" exactly like that into a terminal?
[22:01] <malocite> gid=1000(malocite)
[22:01] <unop> malocite, yea, i figured, it's ok to take ownership now via chown
[22:02] <Moptop650> Jordan - How do I do that - im guessing its something I type into it when it first starts up?
[22:02] <hagus> I am at the /media/sda directory using terminal and I type sudo mount -a
[22:02] <hagus> The result then is nothing at all happens.
[22:03] <hagus> It simply goes to the next line of the konsole
[22:03] <cchance> Hey anyone got a good website that will make my ubuntu look like osx? the one i found has bad tabs... the tabs look like they where hand drawn
[22:03] <unop> hagus, which means the command completed successfully
[22:03] <Zamadatx> i have graphics problem
[22:03] <malocite> unop: Doing that now, I'll let you know how it comes out :) It seems to take a while, lots of files in there :)
[22:03] <hagus> ok ty unop :) I did not realise that
[22:03] <Zamadatx> in opencity it keeps flashing black
[22:03] <pvl1> Jordan_U, oops forgot about the recovery modes, ill try that later, ty
[22:03] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, Ahh, Ok let me see if I can edit your xorg.conf and send it back to you
[22:03] <__yy> anyone know where I can find a list of console im clients?
[22:03] <kray> Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t in kubuntu. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything.
[22:03] <Zamadatx> randomly in spots
[22:03] <hagus> I thought nothing had happened :)
[22:03] <unop> malocite, you should log out and log back in when done
[22:03] <mado-ka> ok Jordan_U ... i will wait
[22:04] <malocite> unop: After doing that cd /home/malocite gives me permission denied
[22:04] <Mikeb4> <--- new to ubuntu...looking for some help
[22:04] <malocite> unop: Ilogged out and back in agaibn
[22:04] <mado-ka> and thank you Jordan_U
[22:04] <glitsj16> cchance: www.gnome-look.org is bound to have something you can try
[22:04] <Moptop650> Anyone, how can I boot to command-line only on a Ubuntu 6 live CD?
[22:04] <unop> malocite,  what does this return?   ls -ld /home/*
[22:05] <malocite> unop: It shows me what is in various directories
[22:05] <malocite> unop: Inside home, I am doing this from console, so I can't scroll up
[22:05] <Drk_Guy> Hi guys
[22:06] <askand> I updated firefox today and got problems with language, solution please? it is not in swedish anymore..
[22:06] <malocite> unop: Oh, that was ls -L not I :)
[22:06] <unop> malocite, that should list one or two lines only
[22:06] <Drk_Guy> I've burnt a disc on Vista with UDF format, is ubuntu ready to read it?
[22:06] <unop> malocite, nor -L but -l :)
[22:06] <Drk_Guy> :?
[22:06] <unop> malocite, and -d too
[22:06] <malocite> unop: drw-r--r-- 105 malocite malocite 20480 2008-07-13 15:08 /home/malocite
[22:06] <Jordan_U> mado-ka, http://phpfi.com/331820
[22:07] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey does anyone know of a way to swithc your video0 device to video1 and your video1 to video0?
[22:07] <xocite> malocite: a directory needs execute permissions to be opened
[22:07] <unop> malocite,  ok, you need this.   chmod 740 /home/malocite
[22:07] <Jordan_U> Drk_Guy, No, AFIK you need to recompile your kernel to get Vista UDF to work :(
[22:07] <xocite> malocite: chmod 700 /home/malocite
[22:07] <unop> malocite, sudo as needed
[22:07] <Mikeb4> i have no more space on my drive for Ubuntu, but i have way more space on my drive...how can i access it?
[22:07] <xocite> unop: 740?
[22:07] <malocite> 700 or 740?
[22:07] <malocite> :)
[22:07] <unop> malocite, err, 750
[22:07] <unop> typo
[22:07] <danand_> malocite - chmod +x /home/malocite
[22:08] <Moptop650> Anyone, how can I boot to command-line only on a Ubuntu 6 live CD?
[22:08] <Drk_Guy> Jordan_U, that isn't really recommended, why motu's won't compile it with support?
[22:08] <ubunub1> Moptop650: you've already been given an answer
[22:08] <unop> xocite, 740 would have worked, nothing wrong there -- infact, group only has read currently anyway
[22:08] <malocite> unop: I an now move into the irectory, drying to login with gdm (restarted gdm first)
[22:08] <Moptop650> Ubunub1 1 When? I was AFK for a second
[22:09] <unop> malocite, ok
[22:09] <Jordan_U> Drk_Guy, Don't know
[22:09] <ubunub1> Moptop650: they said to add "1" to the end of your kernel parameters on boot to start single user mode
[22:09] <sbattey> My synaptics touch pad does not work after a suspend to ram, in ubuntu hardy
[22:09] <malocite> unop: /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup.... can't save user-dirs.dirs
[22:09] <Drk_Guy> Jordan_U, Anyway, i'll download latest tar.bz2 from kernel.org
[22:09] <Moptop650> Ubunub1 - And then I asked how to do that...
[22:09] <malocite> unop: Then dumps back to login screen
[22:09] <jackstraw> hi, ive got 8.04 and ive just installed apache2 but when i start it it throws up a 'segmentation' error. anyone got any ideas why this is happening?
[22:09] <unop> malocite,   chmod 750 ~/*
[22:10] <malocite> unop: I'm going to write a guide for this after wards :)
[22:10] <Drk_Guy> !kernel
[22:10] <ubunub1> Moptop650: when your sitting at the LiveCD menu list. highlight the LiveCD option, and down at the bottom you'll see a bunch of edit...add "single" to the end after nosplash quiet  like "quiet splash single"
[22:10] <unop> malocite,  actually,  chmod 750 ~/* ~/.*
[22:10] <Drk_Guy> !stages
[22:11] <sbattey> My synaptics touch pad does not work after a suspend to ram, in ubuntu hardy
[22:11] <mado-ka> thank you Jordan_U ... i edited the file as you showed me ...
[22:11] <Moptop650> ubunub1 - There isnt one.. Theres just "Enter something to boot, default is 'Live'"
[22:11] <mado-ka> i saved the file Jordan_U... should i restart now?
[22:11] <hvgotcodes> when is do an apt-get upgrade its says there are packages that will be kept back but when i click the software update icon it updates them -- how do i do it from the command line?
[22:11] <malocite> unop: Uhoh , can't execute /bin/bash: permission denied
[22:11] <ubunub1> Moptop650: k, then look down about 1 inch from bottom of the screen and you'll see a row of text ending with "quiet splash"
[22:12] <danand_> hvgotcodes - you can just apt-get install the packages that are kept back...
[22:12] <Moptop650> ubunub1 - Ok, 1 minute
[22:12] <unop> hvgotcodes, those packages are held back because of some conflicts with currently installed packages, you might be able to install them explicitly
[22:12] <hvgotcodes> how can i find the conflicts?
[22:12] <mado-ka> *waiting* Jordan_U
[22:13] <unop> hvgotcodes,   aptitude why-not name_of_package_held_back
[22:13] <unop> malocite, errm, what command did you issue last?
[22:13] <Moptop650> Ubunub1 - Nevermind, I typed live single and it worked :]
[22:13] <Moptop650> Thanks for the help anyways :]
[22:13] <hvgotcodes> unop: is there an equivalent apt-get command?
[22:13] <unop> hvgotcodes, i don't think so
[22:13] <Ubunub1> Moptop650: lots of ways to do the same thing in linux :P
[22:14] <Moptop650> Yeah.. :)
[22:14] <hvgotcodes> ok i just installed and it is running
[22:14] <hvgotcodes> can this bork my system?
[22:14] <danand_> hvgotcodes - they may not be held back because of conflicts ... sometimes packages are held back because they now have different (additional) dependancies ... requiring you to install further packages.... apt likes to ask first rather than installing new packages
[22:14] <Moptop650> Would cfdisk /dev/hda let me mess with the actual machine's harddrive?
[22:14] <Drk_Guy> Jordan_U, If i compile my kernel, nvidia will still work?
[22:15] <mado-ka> Jordan_U: ??
[22:15] <hvgotcodes> danand_: thanx
[22:15] <unop> hvgotcodes, possibly -- but you must pay attention to the warnings apt throws at you
[22:16] <hvgotcodes> unop: when i tried an upgrade it just says the following packages will be kept back
[22:16] <danand_> hvgotcodes - just run apt-get -s install held_back_packages to see what it will do. used to have this problem on my old debian machine ...
[22:16] <jchaoul> sudo apt-get install hfsplus; mount -t hfsplus -o loop /usr/share/yahoo_mac /mnt/mac; unsupported file type or bad superblock
[22:16] <jchaoul> what should I do?
[22:16] <hvgotcodes> danand_ install worked
[22:17] <danand_> :)
[22:18] <malocite> unop: I am no longer able to login as console at all, it says /bin/bash: permission denied
[22:18] <Ubunub1> malocite: alt+f2  ...  gksudo gnome-terminal
[22:19] <malocite> ubunb1: I cannot get into gnome
[22:19] <malocite> ubunb1: I am in the console now, and I cannot login any more because it says cannot execute /bin/bash
[22:19] <unop> malocite, reboot into the recovery mode and issue these commands.   chown -Rv malocite:malocite /home/malocite;  chmod -Rv 750 /home/malocite
[22:20] <jchaoul> ?
[22:20] <unop> malocite, if you still get the problem -- make sure /home is not mounted with the noexec option -- use the mount command to find out
[22:20] <malocite> unop: How do you force into recovery mode? F8?
[22:20] <kray> Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t in kubuntu. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything.
[22:20] <unop> malocite, at grub you should have the option to boot into the single user mode
[22:20] <malocite> unop: Right :) Forgot yuou have to hit esc to get into grub
[22:21] <unop> malocite, ahh, yep, i don't use the usplash thingy
[22:21] <anteaya> my bios update is only available as a .exe file.  Is there anyway I can unpack it and create a file that I can run on Hardy?
[22:21] <unop> anteaya, using wine perhaps?
[22:21] <claudoaldo> bonjour tous le monde
[22:21] <unop> !fr | claudoaldo
[22:22] <anteaya> unop: will wine do it?  okay I have never used wine, thanks
[22:22] <LisaAaweb> Hi every one. I'm in beta test for my website and I'm looking for feedback. Is it cool if I post the url on the chan please?
[22:22] <unop> anteaya, wine might do it -- no guarantees
[22:22] <pepe__> how access to device or media mount on ntfs on ubuntu
[22:22] <unop> !ot | LisaAaweb
[22:22] <Johnny> can someone please explain to me why my wireless card suddenly dies
