[07:02] <pepee> greezmunkey, -o user,defaults,noauto
[07:02] <songer> movie player plays avi very well
[07:02] <spartan07> I think because it is an old bios I need an EFI partition to open up some advanced config settings on the bios which right now are greyed out
[07:02] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I dont have .Gnome or .Gnome2 but I have .Gnome2_private
[07:02] <NewWorld> songer:  They use different engines.
[07:02] <songer> NewWorld, vlc with avi audio goes pausing
[07:02] <Luke_> fatal server errot:  unrecognisedoption: configure
[07:02] <Luke_> fatal server error:  unrecognised option: configure
[07:02] <pepee> greezmunkey, obviously unmount before remounting...
[07:02] <MilitantPotato> My desktop isn't showing the files in ~/Desktop after I removed the Netbook-remix desktop, how do I make gnome show them?
[07:03] <NewWorld> songer:  What you mean goes pausing?
[07:03] <bhundven> Luke_: Xorg -configure
[07:03] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> neither do I have .gconf and .metacity
[07:03] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, correct name for the gnome2 folder in your home folder is : ~/.gnome2 (all lowercase)
[07:03] <spartan07> and Im hopeing once I do that I can set the acpi settings and maybe that will do it but Im not sure
[07:03] <turbowei> mezquitale, yah
[07:03] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  How are you checking that? Terminal or the nautilus file browser?
[07:03] <turbowei> mezquitale, a rather old model.
[07:03] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> dont have .gnome .gnome2 .metacity .gconf
[07:03] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> nautilus file browser
[07:04] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files.
[07:04] <spartan07> right now I have no kind of settings for that in bios and I have researched the ubuntu forums and they say to change some of those settings
[07:04] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I have that option active already
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  that site ngave the exact command to u7se  to remove the dirs
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> run that command.. logout/back in see if it works
[07:04] <pepee> spartan07, what if you install another linux distro and install ubuntu from there?
[07:05] <pepee> spartan07, is complicated, but you learn some things....
[07:05] <xfact> I have one portable drive that I want to encrypt with password to keep my private stuffs, how to do that on Ubuntu?
[07:05] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> this one? rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[07:05] <spartan07> tried mint, #!, fedora, and knopixx
[07:05] <songer> NewWorld, the audio is going pausing
[07:05] <spartan07> all hang
[07:05] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  While you're in your home direcotyr, yes
[07:06] <NewWorld> songer:  Do you know if you're using ALSA or PulseAudio?
[07:06] <spartan07> im usig ubuntu on this machine now and is my distro of choice
[07:06] <stevebuntu> pepee Same version is already installed but uname -r shows 2.6.31-20-generic
[07:06] <stevebuntu> ?
[07:06] <pepee> spartan07, have you tryed installing from wubi?
[07:06] <spartan07> no I have not
[07:06] <spartan07> awesome idea
[07:06] <NewWorld> =D
[07:06] <pepee> stevebuntu, dpkg -l | grep linux-
[07:07] <bhundven> spartan07: or unetbootin
[07:07] <spartan07> I totally forgot about that option
[07:07] <pepee> stevebuntu, dpkg -l | grep linux-  | grep "2.6.32"
[07:07] <mneptok> spartan07: are you familiar with messing with your BIOS?
[07:07] <xfact> Any ways to make my portable drive private (encrypted) with password?
[07:07] <llutz> xfact: ecrypt, truecrypt  you should find howtos at forums
[07:07] <spartan07> yes
[07:07] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> how do i get into the home directory through terminal?
[07:07] <MilitantPotato> mnemonikk: I sorted it out, gconf-editor apps>nautilus>preferences
[07:07] <Luke_> ok it outputted To test server run 'X -conig /xorg.conf.new"
[07:07] <mneptok> spartan07: and to be clear, you get a GRUB error 15?
[07:07] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale : ok while I'm rsyncing my root directory to an external disk ... I understand you want me to reboot onto the CD, and then?
[07:07] <spartan07> messed around with it long enough to make ubutnu run on this x58 i7
[07:07] <spartan07> yes
[07:07] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  'cd ~'  << ~ is shortcut for  home dir
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> this is when its a good time to suggest reading a few bash tutorials..
[07:07] <xfact> llutz: ok looking
[07:08] <songer> NewWorld, how can i know that?
[07:08] <bhundven> Luke_: or just 'sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf' (without quotes) and 'sudo restart gdm'
[07:08] <NewWorld> songer:  What ubuntu version are you using?
[07:08] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I tried that but it doesnt do anything
[07:08] <ZykoticK9> LINUXHELPNEEDED, NewWorld and even faster way to get to your home directory is to type "cd"
[07:08] <pepee> spartan07, or just install it in another machine...
[07:08] <songer> karmic
[07:08] <songer> NewWorld,
[07:08] <spartan07> ??
[07:08] <mneptok> spartan07: go into the BIOS and see if the IDE/SATA devices can be put in RAID mode. whatever the setting is now, change it to the other option. this will have Linux try to load the AHCI driver, which may result in your disks being recognized.
[07:08] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Type in 'pwd' to print working directory, to see if you're in the right home directory.
[07:09] <askhader> If I remove alsa using synaptic and then re-install it- will it be a totally fresh slate of alsa?
[07:09] <pepee> spartan07, with your hdd on it
[07:09] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yes im in home
[07:09] <NewWorld> ZykoticK9:  :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *mind blown*
[07:09] <bhundven> Luke_: if it fails, put the results up on pastebin from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:09] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> but this command does nothing rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[07:09] <spartan07> brb let me see if I have those settings
[07:09] <pepee> ZykoticK9, hahah
[07:09] <NewWorld> askhader:  No, you would have to do 'Completely Remove' and that might not remove everything anyway.
[07:09] <stevebuntu> ii  linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic     2.6.32-020632                              Linux kernel image for version 2.6.32 on x86
[07:09] <stevebuntu> ii  linux-source-2.6.32                   2.6.32-020632                              Linux kernel source for version 2.6.32 with
[07:10] <pepee> stevebuntu, reboot your machine
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  bash 101 - if a command dosent print an error,. it basically worked
[07:10] <airtonix> ...
[07:10] <askhader> NewWorld: So how would I go about doing this? Perhaps completely removing and recompiling from source?
[07:10] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, reboot into the live CD and then resize your ext3 partition, take away like 4 to 10 megabites and then reboot again into the hard drive
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  log out/baqck in and see if it worked
[07:10] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  type 'ls -al ~/' and upload output to www.pastebin.com
[07:10] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: ok, after I've backed up my root directory. rsync is running, and will probably run for some 10 min.
[07:11] <stevebuntu> xchat how do i save this channel ?
[07:11] <NewWorld> askhader:  Why do you want to recompile from source? Can't you just get the stable packages from the repo?
[07:11] <NewWorld> stevebuntu:  What you mean save? And what IRC client?
[07:11] <spartan07> no raid mode but extended configuration is greyed out and says not used
[07:11] <askhader> NewWorld: Well sound refuses to work on my HP laptop intel-hda card on karmic
[07:11] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld whats that for?
[07:11] <stevebuntu> bookmrk
[07:11] <stevebuntu> favorite
[07:11] <bhundven> stevebuntu: you should probably 'sudo update-grub' before rebooting. just to make sure grub has your new kernel.
[07:11] <stevebuntu> xchat
[07:11] <pepee> stevebuntu, just write /join #ubuntu after connecting to the server
[07:12] <mezquitale> askhader, why would you want to remove alsa?  If sound does not work it will not work by reinstalling, you have to configure it
[07:12] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  You can't find the directories you have to delete. 'ls' lists the files in a directory. If we could see it we could point you to the right folder.
[07:12] <mneptok> spartan07: well, see if you can enable that, and see if the setting is there.
[07:12] <greezmunkey> pepee, I created a mount point in my home dir as a test, mounted the floppy, and then accessed with Nautilus. I could right click, and get an option to create a folder or document (didn't do that before), but clicking one of those options fails (permission denied)! Wierd.
[07:12] <NewWorld> stevebuntu:  You would have to add from XChat > Network List
[07:12] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> http://www.pastebin.com/d5f948940
[07:13] <pepee> stevebuntu, network list, select freenode, edit, favorite...
[07:13] <askhader> mezquitale: I screwed around with a patch and may have broken alsa =]
[07:13] <NewWorld> askhader:  as normal user run 'alsamixer' in terminal. Use 'M' to unmute the right channels.
[07:13] <askhader> NewWorld: I've tried the usual troubleshooting
[07:13] <askhader> NewWorld: Nothing takes. It's a known issue for my laptop series.
[07:14] <spartan07> I think I need to create an EFI partition to enable that section of the bios. The issue is I dont know how to make an EFI partition. Rescue cd and gparted do not have an option for that
[07:14] <greezmunkey> pepee, you know what...I use thumbdrives anyway, and they work - I'm bailing on the floppy!
[07:14] <pepee> greezmunkey, sudo chown -R /media/floppy0 ?
[07:14] <askhader> NewWorld: It was submitted to the bugzilla but karmic has yet to patch it.
[07:14] <mezquitale> askhader, if you want to reinstall alsa go ahead but it may do more harm than good, you will have to do manual configuration
[07:14] <pepee> greezmunkey, sudo chown -R -your_user- /media/floppy0 ?
[07:14] <NewWorld> askhader:  And you couldn't find a workaround?
[07:14] <spartan07> is there a rescue distro that has those kind of options?
[07:14] <greezmunkey> pepee, I could try it...brb
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> spartan07:  you sure you dont mean an efi partition table?
[07:14] <llutz> greezmunkey: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,rw /dev/fd0
[07:15] <scadfux> hi how i get to the ubuntu support IRC??
[07:15] <NewWorld> scadfux:  you're here. ask away.
[07:15] <spartan07> I thought efi was just for apple but I read in the forums that the bios uses it for more config settings
[07:15] <scadfux> ahok
[07:15] <stevebuntu> k wish me luck :)
[07:15] <drcode> hi all
[07:15] <llutz> pepee: don't use chown/chmod for non-unix filesystems. it won't work in most cases
[07:15] <scadfux> I got a kernel problem
[07:15] <Dr_Willis_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[07:15] <NewWorld> problem, drcode?
[07:15] <spartan07> maybe thats it.
[07:15] <mneptok> !info refit > spartan07
[07:15] <drcode> I try to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 into 9.10 , it say that I need to add universe.
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> spartan07:  i recall on a NEW unpartione3d hd - that gparted asked me once what type of partion table to use. I think efi was an option
[07:16] <drcode> but where to had it?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> spartan07:  but i may be wrong
[07:16] <pepee> spartan07, try ubuntu lucid
[07:16] <NewWorld> drcode:  Start Menu > System > Administration > Sources? Something like that?
[07:16] <spartan07> i just ran gparted and I didnt see it
[07:16] <pepee> (10.04)
[07:16] <spartan07> wow, thats available, good idea
[07:16] <MHz128> What mp3 player has graphical visualizations(plugins) for Ubunut?
[07:16] <llutz> !lucid > spartan07
[07:16] <Cappy> anyone alive here?
[07:17] <baal-amiga> re
[07:17] <pepee> spartan07, no idea if it will support it...
[07:17] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: as I'm seeing the list of everything on my linux installation ... can I delete /lib/modules subdirectories of older kernels than, say, the last 3 ones?
[07:17] <NewWorld> Tatzelbrumm:  I did that, cause I didn't need them and there was no problme.
[07:17] <greezmunkey> llutz, dude...just when I was about to give up...That worked! It was the uid=1000 that did it!
[07:17] <ljsdofuynsdfufuh> hey guys, ubuntu 10.04 just detected a raid system automatically that I couldn't get to work in other distros automatically - do you guys have any idea what it is doing in order to setup dmraid?
[07:17] <pepee> thanks llutz , didn't know it
[07:18] <syn-ack> MHz128: first, its Ubuntu and second, Rhythmbox does
[07:18] <bhundven> ah. llutz heh, I'm in the wrong chan. thanks.
[07:18] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, that is a different issue that you will have to ask someone else, first fix your hard drive and then do as you wish
[07:18] <qwer> or is it using the linux kernel reaid at first?
[07:18] <llutz> greezmunkey: read man mount   for non-unix fs mount options
[07:18]  * greezmunkey bows to llutz, Obama waiting to do same
[07:18] <mneptok> qwer: /join #ubuntu+1
[07:18] <scadfux> when starting the Ubuntu, linux 2.6.31 - 19 it says [2.438226] kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown -block(8,5)
[07:19] <spartan07> ok guys im gonna try lucid and the wubi install I'll be back. thanks for the great ideasd
[07:19] <pepee> spartan07, /join ubuntu+1 ad ask them
[07:19] <pepee> /join #ubuntu+1
[07:19] <llutz> spartan07: anddon't cry if it breaks
[07:19] <drcode> I got this "You might see a note that support for some applications ended"
[07:19] <pepee> llutz, haha
[07:20] <spartan07> lol, I wont. I'll be happy if I get anything
[07:20] <scadfux> hello?
[07:20] <drcode> can I just skip it?
[07:20] <pepee> hello scadfux
[07:20] <Guest79791> hdparm -Tt /dev/sd[ab] what does this do?
[07:20] <NewWorld> scadfux:  You should check the filesystem for errors. DO you know how to do that?
[07:20] <scadfux> nop
[07:21] <scadfux> this is my firt experience with linux
[07:21] <scadfux> so how do i get there
[07:21] <pepee> Guest16997, man hdparm
[07:21] <llutz> Guest79791: performs something like a disk-benchmark
[07:21] <NewWorld> scadfux:  The easiest method would be to boot into the LiveCD and check it from Gparted. Can you boot into the LiveCD environment?
[07:22] <scadfux> i got the 2.6.31 - 19 version completely blocked i`m working from the 2.6.31 -17 version
[07:22] <Cappy> folks, ive been asking in #ubuntu-server but the folks there have gone quiet.
[07:22] <Cappy> im trying to get wifi working on a server install
[07:22] <NewWorld> Cappy:  What card model?
[07:22] <greezmunkey> llutz, ok, that's great - but I read that file changes are queued to floppy drives, and that those changes are written when the drive is umounted. Where should I look to cause the drive changes to be written immediately?
[07:22] <Cappy> its a ralink card.
[07:23] <llutz> greezmunkey: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,rw,sync /dev/fd0
[07:23] <Cappy> i have wireless-tools installed and i have the card associated to my network with wpa2 turned off (open network)
[07:23] <Semitones> hey -- are there any diagnostics I can run to see if my hard drive is ok (not failing or anything)
[07:23] <llutz> greezmunkey: "sync" option
[07:23] <scadfux> sure but how i get to the live CD in firt place?
[07:23] <greezmunkey> llutz, sync option?
[07:23] <greezmunkey> llutz, got it!
[07:23] <Semitones> I've been getting really high "wait" percentages when update manager runs
[07:23] <llutz> greezmunkey: it's a mount option
[07:23] <Semitones> and it's started today
[07:23] <greezmunkey> llutz, trying that now..
[07:24] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Do you have Gparted installed on this older kernel version?
[07:24] <llutz> greezmunkey: you can manually force syncing, using "sudo sync" at commandline
[07:24] <NewWorld> Cappy:  if you type 'ifconfig' on that machine does it show something like 'wlan0'?
[07:25] <scadfux> I dont think so
[07:25] <scadfux> this is chinese for me
[07:25] <Cappy> not when i do ifconfig, but i get the info when i do iwconfig
[07:25] <llutz> Cappy: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo dhclient wlan0
[07:25] <scadfux> NewWorld: like i`m really new on this
[07:25] <greezmunkey> llutz, would that be recommended, especially when using usb jump drives?
[07:26] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Is it a fresh install?
[07:26] <scadfux> NewWorld: how i get to the gparted in first place
[07:26] <scadfux> yep
[07:26] <llutz> greezmunkey: i prefer to mount with "sync". it minimizes danger of data loss
[07:26] <scadfux> linux and win7
[07:26] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What ubuntu version? Maybe Gparted won't help solve the problem after all
[07:27] <Scugnizzo> Buongiorno a tutti
[07:27] <scadfux> I unistalled the Amarok and then i defraged the disk by windows
[07:27] <scadfux> and now it doesnt work
[07:27] <Cappy> llutz, thanks a bunch, now it works
[07:27] <scadfux> 2.6.31 - 19
[07:27] <llutz> greezmunkey: if you often have to deal with floppies, look at mtools
[07:28] <NewWorld> scadfux:  0.0 how can you defrag from Windows? Check what version you downloaded.. 8.10 or 9.04 ,etc
[07:28] <scadfux> oh and also i tried to make an upgrade but it doesnt wants to connect to the server
[07:28] <greezmunkey> llutz, will do thanks.
[07:28] <NewWorld> scadfux:  How can you make an upgrade if ubuntu won't even boot because of the kernel panic?
[07:28] <scadfux> Ubuntu 9.10
[07:29] <scadfux> before it happened
[07:29] <NewWorld> scadfux:  sorry what did you defrag exactly?
[07:29] <scadfux> NewWorld: is this a big problem?
[07:29] <NewWorld> scadfux:  No, cause it's a fresh install and you can just re-install :)
[07:29] <Cappy> llutz, i have an address from my router, but i cant ping out, anything else you can suggest?
[07:30] <greezmunkey> llutz, If I edit /etc/fstab do I need to restart for the changes to work?
[07:30] <llutz> Cappy: check nameservers/route
[07:30] <llutz> greezmunkey: only if you want automount things
[07:30] <scadfux> I used the Smart defrag from Iobit.com and defragged the disk where were the ubuntu
[07:30] <Cappy> llutz, sorry to be a pain, but where am i looking to check them? what am i looking for?
[07:30] <scadfux> ok
[07:31] <asdff> Would anyone by chance know how to append a command usually invoked with a colon in vim to the .vimrc? EG; adding :NERDTree to the .vimrc?
[07:31] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What did you defrag?
[07:31] <scadfux> the X:\ disk
[07:31] <llutz> Cappy: "host www.google.com"  "sudo route -n"  look for G in a line, showing the gateway
[07:31] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What is on that disk?
[07:32] <scadfux> NewWorld: the ubuntu but I did it by Win7
[07:32] <jeff420> good day to all :) .. I am unable to use /dev/video0 in mythtv ... I just followed this nice url for the pvr 150 happu card http://hyams.webhop.net/mythtv/myth_ubuntu.html
[07:32] <NewWorld> asdff:  There's a VIM chan on freenode I think :)
[07:32] <asdff> haha kk man cheers
[07:32] <scadfux> there are also some music...
[07:32] <llutz> Cappy: "grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf"  should show you at least one valid dns-ip
[07:32] <scadfux> so I reinstall?
[07:32] <NewWorld> scadfux:  You can't defrag the linux partition like that. That's what ruined it probably, just reinstall
[07:32] <scadfux> ok
[07:33] <scadfux> may I reinstall it by the windows common unistaller?
[07:33] <NewWorld> scadfux:  wubi?
[07:33] <jeff420> but as it has been I am still not able to view video or live tv in myth .. I can post mythbuntu log grabber if some would take a look at the video part ?
[07:33] <scadfux> and what i do when I wanna defrag linnux?
[07:33] <scadfux> yep
[07:33] <NewWorld> scadfux:  The way it's built, you don't need to defrag it. It doesn't fragment.
[07:33] <Cappy> llutz, i did 'host www.google.com" and got a connection timed out error
[07:33] <scadfux> linux*
[07:33] <jeff420> pray ..:)
[07:34] <scadfux> ah nice
[07:34] <moatt> i wanna make it so my mouse can scroll when i hold down on the scroll wheel, how?
[07:34] <llutz> NewWorld: wrong
[07:34] <scadfux> so I unistall by wubi and reinstall on a separated partition?
[07:34] <NewWorld> llutz:  I tried to pick my words carefully there, I knew some lawyer would break my statements apart xDD
[07:34] <llutz> scadfux: you cannot defrag ext-filesystems, you'd have to copy it to a fresh filesystem
[07:35] <llutz> NewWorld: tbh, it is definetly an urban legend that ext-fs won't fragment
[07:35] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Don't you want to reinstall to the same partition? Just format it and reinstall there.
[07:35] <scadfux> ?????
[07:35] <scadfux> no i have more stuff on that partition
[07:35] <NewWorld> Back it up :)
[07:35] <greezmunkey> llutz, yeah, I have to restart. I added the sync option, and uid option in fstab.
[07:35] <scadfux> ou shait
[07:36] <llutz> greezmunkey: no restart needed
[07:36] <scadfux> ok
[07:36] <moatt> i wanna make it so my mouse can scroll when i hold down on the scroll wheel, how?
[07:36] <scadfux> and how do i hear music on linux that is on a windows partition?
[07:36] <NewWorld> Make pigs fly and it will happen moatt :)
[07:37] <moatt> ....
[07:37] <scadfux> ?
[07:37] <scadfux> ok
[07:37] <moatt> system>prefrences>now what?
[07:37] <scadfux> thx bye?
[07:37] <greezmunkey> llutz, I issued another mount command, and recieved an error. "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock yadda yadda yadda
[07:37] <NewWorld> scadfux:  In the file browser in linux, on the left yo uwill see the windows partition.
[07:37] <darolu> moatt: depending on the app, you can do it via plug ins; i.e. epiphany has a neat one
[07:37] <octavio> scadfux- an easy solution would be to copy your files onto a portable hard drive, and just play it while logged into Linux. But thats a lazy solution...
[07:37] <NewWorld> moatt:  I don't think it's as simple as that at all :(
[07:37] <darolu> !patience | moatt
[07:38] <USERofLINUX247> Hi can I run gnomenu on ubuntu 9.10?
[07:38] <ardchoille> moatt: gnome doesn't have anything like that for general use afaik
[07:38] <greezmunkey> llutz, maybe it didn't like the uid=1000 option...I'll check, thanks!
[07:38] <llutz> Cappy: sudo route -n|grep G
[07:38] <scadfux> yep but it doesnt open the files on the host file
[07:38] <NewWorld> scadfux:  the host file?
[07:38] <llutz> greezmunkey: paste that fstab-line here please
[07:38] <moatt> SO
[07:38] <moatt> Wait, when I click on the scroll wheel
[07:38] <moatt> usually I can drag the screen aroung
[07:38] <moatt> usually I can drag the screen around
[07:38] <scadfux> yeah?
[07:38] <moatt> now I can't....
[07:38] <NewWorld> scadfux:  what is a host file?
[07:38] <scadfux> its written host
[07:38] <scadfux> on the file
[07:39] <scadfux> and it takes to the other files on the same disk
[07:39] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: yes, you can add it to your panel by right clicking on it; Alt+F1 works too... I think
[07:39] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What is this file and how is it relevant? :S
[07:39] <scadfux> just forget it
[07:39] <scadfux> ...
[07:39] <scadfux> ok
[07:39] <scadfux> now i gonna format my disk
[07:39] <NewWorld> Wait
[07:40] <NewWorld> Didn't you say you have stuff there you wanna keep?
[07:40] <scadfux> tell me
[07:40] <jeff420> what is this person doning .. ..
[07:40] <scadfux> yep
[07:40] <NewWorld> So don't format... back it up.
[07:40] <llutz> !enter | scadfux
[07:40] <scadfux> and u told me to make the backup
[07:40] <NewWorld> Yeah, do that before the format
[07:40] <greezmunkey> llutz, had to get it here: /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:41] <scadfux> ah ok.
[07:41] <NewWorld> Make sure to backup the 'host file' it sounds important.
[07:41] <llutz> greezmunkey: some spaces/tabs missing....
[07:41] <greezmunkey> llutz, insert spaces in the usual places...
[07:41] <USERofLINUX247> How to I install a .tar.gz file?
[07:41] <Jonz> has anybody ever found the terminal application acts as if the ctrl key is constantly pressed down? This only happens in Terminal, not any other application..
[07:41] <scadfux> yep i gonna do it but then i need to format right?
[07:41] <greezmunkey> llutz, I'll redo.
[07:41] <greezmunkey> /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:41] <greezmunkey> /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:41] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: before you do that, have you checked the repos to see if the app is already there?
[07:42] <greezmunkey> yikes...
[07:42] <scadfux> so backup and format...
[07:42] <llutz> greezmunkey: :D is ok
[07:42] <NewWorld> scadfux: Yeah once you've backed up your files format that partition. And reinstall Ubuntu.
[07:42] <ardchoille> !away > meowbuntu
[07:42] <greezmunkey> llutz: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 msdos rw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:42] <llutz> greezmunkey: change "msdos" into "auto"  and try again
[07:42] <greezmunkey> there
[07:42] <USERofLINUX247> in synaptic? YEs
[07:42] <meowbuntu> anyone here used e17 on ubuntu
[07:43] <scadfux> NewWorld: thx NewWorld a lot of work to keep the linux working.
[07:43] <magn3ts> How can I mount my external drive so that it doesn't enforce permissions?
[07:43] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Np, hope it works out :)
[07:43] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: a .tar.gz is a container+compressing format, similar to zip or rar
[07:43] <scadfux> Bye!!
[07:43] <NewWorld> see ya
[07:43] <greezmunkey> llutz, worked with msdos there, the thing I added was uid=1000, but I'll try...
[07:43] <USERofLINUX247> okay so i extracted it to a file on my desktop, how would I go about installing it?
[07:44] <USERofLINUX247> also my background changed after extracting the file to desktop
[07:44] <NewWorld> USERofLINUX247:  Use a terminal and 'cd' inside the extracted folder.
[07:44] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: first, extract the contents of it, then (if available) run the binary file; if there is no binaries you will need to compile the source code.
[07:44] <USERofLINUX247> (i dont have multiple wallpapers)
[07:44] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: sounds like you might have nautilus running as root
[07:45] <USERofLINUX247> ardchoille, is that a problem?
[07:46] <USERofLINUX247> Do i need to install gnome to get gnomenu to run?
[07:46] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: nautilus manages the desktop wallpaper and icons. and afaiac nautilus shouldn't be run as root, it's better to learn how to use the cli with sudo
[07:46] <USERofLINUX247> gnome in the synaptic manager
[07:46] <ZykoticK9> Has aRTS sound server been completely removed?  If I have a game giving me error about libartsc.so.0, should I just forget about it?  The game is UT2004-64bit-demo (I have UT2004 32bit working fine)
[07:46] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: if you are running Ubuntu (not Kubuntu nor Xubuntu) you already have gnome and the gnome menu installed.
[07:47] <greezmunkey> llutz, that's wierd, changed to "auto" tryed to open "file.txt" got an option box stating that "file.txt" is an executable text file, run in term, display contents, etc !!
[07:47] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: you need gnome panel running in order to be able to add the gnomenu applet, yes
[07:47] <USERofLINUX247> im running ubuntu but in synaptic it shows I dont have gnome installed
[07:47] <Ubuntunewb> whats Kubuntu and Xubuntu?
[07:47] <greezmunkey> llutz, that's funny - executable text file... :D
[07:47] <darolu> Ubuntunewb: it is Ubuntu with different desktop environment
[07:47] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: that's normal, you have the package called ubuntu-desktop installed, that's the normal ubuntu desktop
[07:48] <llutz> greezmunkey: all will be executable, if that bit is set
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> should I install gnome?
[07:48] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: no
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> thats in the synaptic manager
[07:48] <greezmunkey> llutz, I think I'll try vfat and see what happens...
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> oh okay
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> so how would i learn to use cli with sudo? what does that mean?
[07:48] <drcode> I am looking for good desktop recorder , where I can put also notes and so, under linux
[07:48] <ardchoille> !sudo | USERofLINUX247
[07:49] <ardchoille> !bash | USERofLINUX247
[07:49] <harleypig> -!- <Boricua> any one know if there is a psx emulator that emulates burned cd's?
[07:49] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: did you enable the root account? are you logged into your desktop as root user?
[07:50] <jeff420> can not view live tv in myth  ..can capture video live with VLC player as pvr:// under the card settings
[07:50] <b14ck> Quick question. I'm on 9.04 server. What command can I use to apply system updates (not only package updates)? I've been using aptitude upgrade to do package updates.
[07:50] <jeff420> can any one help me get it working in myth please
[07:50] <NewWorld> harleypig:  what ones have you tried?
[07:51] <MilitantPotato> j
[07:51] <jeff420> b14ck, I believe    sudo apt-get update
[07:52] <ardchoille> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  # to update everything
[07:52] <jeff420> b14ck,  sorry did not read the end of that .
[07:52] <zzz_> b14ck: If you would like to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu, e.g. 9.10, then have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading See the section for Ubuntu Servers.
[07:52] <greezmunkey> llutz, If anything, this has been a learning experience! vfat didn't change that, but at least the drive is useable now!
[07:52] <b14ck> Won't dist-upgrade just remove packages?
[07:52] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: https://launchpad.net/gnomenu download the 2.4 version (is the file you probably downloaded inittially) when you extract it, a README.txt file is created, READ IT, you'll find installation instructions there.
[07:52] <ardchoille> b14ck: it updates the system
[07:52] <b14ck> ardchoille, gotcha
[07:52] <b14ck> thanks
[07:52] <ardchoille> yw
[07:53] <MilitantPotato> sudo apt-get install love was disappointing.
[07:53] <USERofLINUX247> thanks darolu :)
[07:53] <magn3ts> How can I mount my external drive so that it doesn't enforce permissions?
[07:53] <magn3ts> or so that regular users can access all files regardless of the octal permissions
[07:53] <MilitantPotato> magn3ts: fstab?
[07:54] <blinkiz> We are about to set up a new virtualization platform at my work. It will contain a 35TB disk server and two virtualization servers that has 2xquad CPUs and +24GB RAM. Live migration should work between these two servers. I need some advice how to set this up. Disk server will probably be using LVM where each guest has a logical volume. One of my questions is, how do I make the virtualization servers see my LVM on the disk server? It's not optimal t
[07:54] <blinkiz> o create one iSCSI LUN for each logical volume. Then I need to do this manual each time. Is this a must? Any recommendations?
[07:54] <darolu> !fstab | magn3ts
[07:54] <cbx> Does ubuntu need a swap partition?
[07:54] <NewWorld> cbx: nope
[07:55] <NewWorld> cbx: It's recommended though, especially if you have low ram.
[07:55] <cbx> 1 Gb of ram on a dell laptop
[07:55] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: uhhh .... why are you downloading source when you could use a PPA? - https://launchpad.net/~gnomenu-team/+archive/ppa
[07:55] <darolu> cbx: technically you can run without it, but you should create one with at least 512MB
[07:55] <MilitantPotato> cbx: if you're hibernating, having more than your memory is a good thing
[07:55] <mneptok> cbx: if you ever want to have a prayer of hibernating, yes.
[07:56] <cbx> ah yes, I forget that
[07:56] <pepee> I'm trying to resize a ntfs partition...
[07:56] <mneptok> cbx: 1.5GB to be sure you can hibernate
[07:56] <cbx> stupid gparted won't let me create a an extended / logical partition for some reason
[07:56] <ardchoille> mneptok: very good point
[07:56] <pepee> BUT ntfsresize says that there are bad sectors...
[07:56] <syn-ack> Then there probably are
[07:56] <USERofLINUX247> mneptok because im not sure what im doing! LOL thanks ill get that instead
[07:56] <pepee> the hdd is new
[07:56] <cbx> pepee: try running chkdisk in windows
[07:56] <NewWorld> cbx: You are limited to 4 primary partitions per hardrive. An extended partition is counted as a primary one, but you can create unlimited amount of logical parititons in the extended parititon.
[07:57] <b14ck> When I try to do an aptitude upgrade I get the following error: http://pastie.org/833967 Any idea how to fix?
[07:57] <maurizio> jgjhgg
[07:57] <pepee> cbx, same on windows
[07:57] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: add the PPA to your sources. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnomenu
[07:57] <magn3ts> fstab is definitely not what I'm looking for. the options there would help but that page doesn't answer the question. I know how to use fstab
[07:57] <cbx> NewWorld: I have space for 2 primary partitiions, one is for a windows install, [2 are already used up with date :| ] I'd like to create an extended one, but gparted won't let me
[07:57] <pepee> BUT the partition was "moved" from a desktop pc using dd and netcat
[07:58] <USERofLINUX247> W: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  403  Forbidden
[07:58] <USERofLINUX247> whats up with that line?
[07:58] <NewWorld> cbx:  date?
[07:58] <darolu> magn3ts: then read "man mount" and use the options you need on your fstab file...
[07:58] <pepee> so I don't know if really there are problems with this hdd
[07:58] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you're using Edgy?
[07:58] <magn3ts> darolu, I don't want it in fstab >_<
[07:58] <NewWorld> pepee:  chkdsk doesn't complain?
[07:58] <USERofLINUX247> whats edgy?
[07:58] <cbx> NewWorld: date? of the gparted release?
[07:59] <magn3ts> also I already read !fstab !partitions the man page and googled for 20 minutes
[07:59] <cbx> USERofLINUX247: check your sources
[07:59] <darolu> magn3ts: then mount manually each time you want to mount your device
[07:59] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: were you here before as another all-caps NEEDSHELP nick?
[07:59] <NewWorld> cbx:  "[2 are already used up with date :|" << what does your HDD look like in terms of partitions?
[07:59] <magn3ts> every where says use "gksudo nautilus" which is NOT the right answer to the problem
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> how do i check sources?
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> yes
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> mneptok that was me
[07:59] <pepee> NewWorld, nope, but it says "72 kB of files in bad sectors"
[07:59] <cbx> NewWorld: Data...
[07:59] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: can i be 100% honest with you? and you won;t take it personally?
[07:59] <cbx> pepee: so tell chkdisk to fix those errors
[07:59] <syn-ack> magn3ts: I don't mean to come to the party late but what is that you're trying to do?
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> no i wont take it personally say what you have to say
[08:00] <pepee> cbx, /f /r ? i did that
[08:00] <cbx> pepee: defragmenting in windows should help too
[08:00] <pepee> i did that too
[08:00] <NewWorld> pepee:  Can't you use another program apart from Gparted?
[08:00] <magn3ts> syn-ack, I'm trying to mount an external hard drive and have ubuntu ignore the chmod/owner of the files on the drive
[08:00] <MilitantPotato> pepee: use the software your disk manufacturer provides for hard drive diagnostics, if that says there's bad sectors, return the drive.
[08:00] <anglewings> why I every time upgrade it dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kismet_2008-05-R1-4_i386.deb (--unpack):

[08:00] <pepee> NewWorld, i'm not using gparted..
[08:00] <greezmunkey> llutz, well all of the now works on the laptop, now for this machine!
[08:00] <pepee> fdisk, cfdisk, ntfsresize
[08:00] <NewWorld> pepee:  What are you using?
[08:00] <NewWorld> Oh
[08:00] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you're obviously new to the Linux world. and you're trying to use custom apps, install additional software sources, recofigure the system. you have a LOT of motivation, but none of the background skills.
[08:00] <magn3ts> !umask
[08:00] <greezmunkey> s/the/that
[08:00] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you're trying to run before you can walk.
[08:01] <syn-ack> magn3ts: you can't ignore the file permissions for, for one, permissions are inode based not file based and two if you'd like to automount the drive, you add the entry to fstab
[08:01] <pepee> I can rely on the info from chkdsk/ntfsresize?
[08:01] <syn-ack> magn3ts: period.
[08:01] <USERofLINUX247> LOL your quite right about that! maybe I have some scissors in my hand also
[08:01] <cbx> How does ubuntu hibernate if you install it thru wubi?
[08:01] <pepee> is my new hdd that bad? :(
[08:01] <cbx> it creates a pagefile
[08:01] <cbx> ?
[08:01] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: stop trying to tweak the bejebus out of your system, and just *use* it for a while. learn the basics. find your way around. then start changing default apps and the default look and feel.
[08:01] <NewWorld> USERofLINUX247:  HAHAHAH Scissors x'D
[08:01] <magn3ts> USERofLINUX247, why on earth do you have edgy sources in your sources.list
[08:01] <cbx> lol
[08:02] <cbx> Don't bash him
[08:02] <zzz_> brico: Is language-pack-en installed?
[08:02] <USERofLINUX247> I have no idea magn3ts
[08:02] <NewWorld> cbx:  Hibernates to the swap file
[08:02] <zzz_> brico: sorry, wrong nick.
[08:02] <magn3ts> oh my freaking god. I appreciate the help but I've specified like 6 times that I don't want this automounted or in my fstab. I'm gonna go figure this out myself.
[08:02] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: i say this not to deride you, but because i want you to learn to love Linux. and i think you're just setting yourself up for frustration.
[08:02] <pepee> again, the partition was moved through the lan... using dd and netcat
[08:02] <valentinex> how to install a .bin file?
[08:02] <cbx> NewWorld: ah, so it'll create a swap file innit? Can't I create a swap *file* instead of a partition?
[08:02] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: here is the easy way -> click on System - Admin - Software Sources; there click the "other software" tab, then click on Add; and paste this: ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa IF you are using Karmic (Ubuntu 9.10)
[08:02] <syn-ack> magn3ts: I never told you to automount, I merely said IF
[08:03] <syn-ack> if you DONT want automount, then I suggest you man mount
[08:03] <zzz_> b14ck: Is language-pack-en installed?
[08:03] <NewWorld> cbx:  I've never heard of that being done, maybe Google it
[08:03] <cbx> I'm just going to do a wubi install then
[08:03] <syn-ack> magn3ts: especially if you're gonna have that tude with me.
[08:03] <cbx> 3 systems to install windows and linux on
[08:03] <magn3ts> syn-ack, I know. I'm getting frustrated. I already read the man page and it didhn't help. I'm almost 100% positive there is a way to do this with umask but I'm having a heck of a time with google
[08:03] <NewWorld> USERofLINUX247:  If you're not on edgy, the packages that edgy repo will provide won't install on your system.
[08:03] <syn-ack> magn3ts: which fs are you trying to mount?
[08:03] <magn3ts> hfsplus
[08:04] <pepee> cbx, use virtualbox and then clone the hdd
[08:04] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: thanks for listening. as always, what i said is just one man's opinion. take it for what it's worth. and if you ask my wife, it ain't worth much, brother. ;)
[08:04] <syn-ack> magn3ts: is the hfs kernel module loaded?
[08:04] <magn3ts> syn-ack, yeah I can mount it okay but I can't access my /Users/<me> because I don't have permission in ubuntu
[08:04] <pepee> with vbox and you can repair windows after accessing it from the physical partition...
[08:04] <zzz_> b14ck: ?
[08:04] <pepee> *vbox and linux
[08:05] <valentinex> now my turn guys help me now how to install a .bin file
[08:05] <mneptok> valentinex: what is the file?
[08:05] <greezmunkey> Speaking of cloning HDDs, is dd a viable option for that?
[08:05] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: after that (and reloading your list), go to System - Admin - Synaptic and search for gnomenu and check it to install (right click the empty box)
[08:05] <valentinex> jdk, java development kit
[08:05] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: my backup is FINALLY complete. Booted from CD. Now what? Installer or run ubuntu off the CD?
[08:05] <USERofLINUX247> LOL, thanks for the help! I will take your advice and start learning the basics
[08:06] <valentinex> mneptok: ^
[08:06] <Ubuntunewb> Valentinex: right click the .bin file, click the partitions tab, and check the box "allow to execute as a program"
[08:06] <mneptok> valentinex: the one in the repos won;t suit your needs?
[08:06] <jadakren> how do i prevent my IP and ISP showing up when i connect to an irc channel ?
[08:06] <greezmunkey> USERofLINUX247, first one: DOn't tell ANYONE here your a n00b!
[08:06] <llutz> jadakren: ask at #freenode for a cloak
[08:06] <Ubuntunewb> valeninex: permissions tab, not partitions tab... >.>
[08:06] <pepee> valentinex, chmod +x *.bin; ./-name_here-.bin
[08:06] <pepee> ?
[08:07] <USERofLINUX247> Oh right so if I add those sources then it gives permission browse their packages
[08:07] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: which ubuntu versio are you running?
[08:07] <USERofLINUX247> 9.10
[08:07] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: yes, add the ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa to access the gnomenu package
[08:08] <pepee> hmm please, help me
[08:08] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: ok, if you add sources for any other version (ex. jaunty sources, hardy sources), you're gong to have problems later
[08:08] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you will not be able to use apt or Synaptic until you fix the broken edgy reference in your sources.list
[08:08] <ardchoille> that's what I was talking about :)
[08:09] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: you need to stick with karmic sources and only karmic
[08:09] <pepee> I can't believe my new hdd has bad sectors
[08:09] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: Go to System - Admin - Software Sources; in the 'other software' tab you can add the ppa I gave you and disable the edgy ones mneptok told you
[08:10] <USERofLINUX247> Aha I see it now
[08:11] <USERofLINUX247> http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy was the one to disable
[08:11] <USERofLINUX247> and the 2 karmic ones were to be activated

[08:29] <axon> hello out there, in fact i have two problems - but maybe they are connected: 1st: something with my sound configuration is wrong: i can't use a microphone (if i try, i got a very bad result - with a non-satisfaiable record) 2nd changing the brightness of my monitor doesn't work with the Fn-keys (i'm allready using the panel-applet for this thing) - Now i found accidentally that this two things works under older version of linux. even under some of this small v
[08:29] <axon> ersion (like puppy and dsl) it seems to work - thats why i installed an older kernel. my big brother told me that is maybe has to do with the drivers of my mainboard ... how can i find out which driver my mainboard is using? how can i change it? ... do you have better explanations for my problems? - need help
[08:29] <meowbuntu> hi i cant install svn on ubuntu its changed its name what is the new app name
[08:29] <Mean_admin> in a terminal, I have to type in "sudo mediatomb" to start a video streaming app. I'd like to have it start on boot... how should I proceed ?
[08:29] <syn-ack> pepee: please be careful with that took since it can cause data loss if not used correctly. Please carefully read the directions on the site before you run it
[08:29] <pepee> ok, i'll

[08:31] <pepee> syn-ack, if I remember, I will tell you....

[08:34] <sd> hi
[08:35] <axon> has no-one any idea?
[08:35] <fauzie> help ... emergency. My HD is almost dead. I'm trying to move my data to an external Hard Drive, but the external HD is not detected. It worked just an hour ago.
[08:35] <moatt> darolu didn't work
[08:36] <darolu> axon: your microphone problem may be solved by adjusting your input-volume
[08:36] <axon> @ fauzie : what's about lsusb?
[08:36] <darolu> moatt: go to youtube and try to watch a video, if you can watch it you're set
[08:36] <darolu> axon: lsusb list all your usb devices
[08:37] <fauzie> axon: trying
[08:37] <axon> darolu : no - i allready tried ...
[08:37] <fauzie> axon: i don't understand the output of lsusb ...
[08:37] <darolu> axon: did you try with alsamixer (command line)?
[08:37] <axon> darolu ... yes i'm telling him --- because he  wants to detect an external harxddrive ...
[08:37] <axon> yes
[08:37] <axon> @ darolu yes
[08:38] <axon> @darolu do you have some special tipps for me?
[08:39] <Tatzelbrumm> I still have a problem resizing an ext3 partition under 9.04 ubuntu.
[08:39] <argothian> hello, can I ask for help with redirecting connection to free vpn PacketiX? I am foreign student in China and want to access restricted websites
[08:39] <fauzie> Maybe this? -> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1686:007f
[08:39] <darolu> axon: sry about the lsusb I read your comment and thought you were asking; tips, uhmm well first you need to determine if your microphone works fine elsewhere, it might be damaged, about your keyboard function keys, I am not familiar with that kind of keyboards but I'll try to find docs about them
[08:40] <Tatzelbrumm> Problem: If I enter sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3 , I get back: Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda3' first ... which I just did before, with no error messages. What's going on?
[08:40] <MrCatEye> hello
[08:40] <dayo> how to i delete a symbolic link without deleting the target, when the link has the same name as target and is in same directory?
[08:40] <axon> @ darolu : yes, because under ubuntu 5.04 the microphone is working ...
[08:42] <llutz> dayo: same name as target/same dir? imho impossible
[08:42] <darolu> axon: is this what you're looking for regarding your keyboard? http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Microsoft_Keyboard_Function_Key_Fix
[08:43] <jpalex> !list
[08:43] <MrCatEye> dayo - maybe try "unlink"
[08:44] <darolu> axon: you can try installing xbindkeys for your keyboard issue: sudo apt-get install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config
[08:44] <dayo> MrCatEye: it wasn't even the same name. i was looking at the wrong column lol
[08:45] <MrCatEye> :)
[08:47] <fauzie> crashed ....
[08:47] <MrCatEye> now I have a question, I installed "klavier" (Screenkeyboard) an I added an entry to the "startmenu", but it seems, that this programms needs sudo rights to work properly
[08:48] <fauzie> I've disconnected all of the usb device but the external HD. Now lsusb shows only 4 entries with ID 0000 : 0000
[08:48] <MrCatEye> so how to make ubuntu asking me for the pw

[08:48] <Bhuvi> how to make a script execute some commands when system event has occured eg:such as laptop switches from mains to battery
[08:50] <Xaero252> I have a (hopefully) simple nvidia graphics question; I have the nvidia drivers installed, and two monitors, however when I set it to seperate X screens it complains about restarting X, so I switch to Terminal 1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and do sudo killall gdm-binary, and the do sudo gdm; however the changes don't occur. am I missing something dumb?
[08:51] <fauzie> axon: I plug it to another outlet, it's ON !!! :D
[08:51] <llutz> MrCatEye: if really needed, start it with "gksu klavier"
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> Xaero252:  save changes to xorg.conf -> use 'sudo service gdm restart' is what i normally do
[08:51] <greezmunkey> Does Live-CD contain gparted?
[08:51] <MrCatEye> llutz thanks found it on google a minute ago
[08:51] <Xaero252> Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll try it out now

[08:52] <jake__> hi, i just installed lampp and i need to copy over a php file into my htdocs folder, but it says i dont own that folder so it will not let me paste. help.
[08:52] <jake__> says nobody group root
[08:52] <axon> darolu : i installed the programm you proposed ... it looks very fine (exept the getkey funtion provoce an error ... but thats ok)... thank you for that ... do you know if there is any command-line tool to change the brightness of an laptop-screen? at the moment i'm using "Bildschirmhelligkeits-Applet 2.22.1" (but don't kno how to remote this from the terminal)
[08:53] <greezmunkey> rww, I want to be able to clone voicemail system HDDs, I figure I can add a second drive, boot into live CD than go from there; does that sound about right?
[08:53] <axon> @fauzie :  so everything is fine ?
[08:53] <linucks> jake__, you may need to do it with 'sudo' and then set the correct permissions
[08:53] <argothian> Hi there, I have installed free vpn PacketiX service, tried sudo ifconfig vpn_0, sudo dhclient vpn_0, then again ifconfig... I gain adress for client, but then i cannot acces internet. Im beginner please help
[08:53] <jake__> then what use is the file browser if you cant copy paste?
[08:54] <MrCatEye> jake__ - yes and If not already done do it on the console
[08:54] <scorpo> Hello, if I want to run a webserver (ie LAMP package) is there any benefit to using Unbunto server edition or is the regular desktop version fine?
[08:55] <tulu> hi all! Does Totem run mms stream? Pls, anyone answer me! Srr 4 my bad English
[08:55] <darolu> axon: sorry, I have no idea how to do that from cli
[08:55] <linucks> jake__, there may not be read permissions set on the file, the file manager will work like the shell; if you don't have permissions to read that file then you won't be able to read it and there isn't much that can change it apart from changing the permissions if you happen to be the owner of that file
[08:55] <MrCatEye> jake__ - with nautilus it won't work (as far as I know, becaus u have to start nautilus with sudo rights to gain access to "root-protected" files & folder)
[08:56] <jake__> ahh
[08:56] <MrCatEye> jake__ - so it is easier to do it with the console
[08:56] <llutz> scorpo: running it just as a server? then it's better to use -server or minimal-install
[08:56] <linucks> jake__, try running the command 'gksudo nautilus'
[08:56] <linucks> then try doing your copy.
[08:56] <MrCatEye> like in good old DOS times :)
[08:57] <llutz> MrCatEye: DOStimes never had been good :)
[08:57] <linucks> but jake__, as MrCatEye said you could use the console and go 'sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/intended/copy'
[08:58] <scorpo> llutz: I want to run a webserver (along with MySQL, PHP etc), and also be able to use the machine as a linux desktop to learn about linux. But I don't need the computer to share files/applications with other computers, which is what I understand a regular "server" does.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> scorpo:  use desktop ed then
[08:58] <greezmunkey> !lamp
[08:58] <llutz> scorpo: "server" just means, a machine serves data, in any form/protocol. for your task, destop-install should be fine
[08:59] <scorpo> llutz, Dr_Willis, & ubottu: thanks guys.  I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something as I'm new to the webserver thang.
[08:59] <scorpo> and new to the linux thing too ;)

[09:17] <darolu> greezmunkey: yes, in theory all is loaded into your ram; but if you open an app that has to write to your /home you'll probably get an error

[09:20] <adambuntu> has anyone gotten xbmc to stream hulu to the xbox360 in ubuntu

[09:21] <Dr_Willis> !vpn
[09:21] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, I want to upgrade my home partition. It's a lowly 20MB drive now, so it looks like I can boot from a live CD after installing a bigger drive, then use gparted to copy it.
[09:22] <greezmunkey> s/20MG/20GB
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  thats easially done.
[09:22] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, yea, looks like it!
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  no need to really use a live cd either. Plug in new hd. Mount /newhome to it.. copy /home over.. rmount it as /home
[09:23] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, after formatting of course, right.
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> of course...  gotta format befor ya can even mount
[09:25] <halkun> I just installed Apache, but having a tough time getting it configured...

[09:26] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, the smart play (when I built this system) would have been to put /home on the 80GB drive, and / on the 20GB drive according to the current usage stats!
[09:26] <halkun> when I try and run scripts, my web browser tries to download the file
[09:27] <halkun> Is there a cgi-bin package that puts all the directors where it's supposed to be?

[09:29] <MrCatEye> halkun - Have u set the standard CGI-Directorie and then added the option "Options +ExecCGI" ?
[09:29] <aprilhare> hey
[09:31] <MrCatEye> halkun - search for "SciptAlias" in an Apacheforum
[09:31] <aprilhare> i have installed the STIX fonts (from package otf-stix) and I cannot find the beta STIX fonts in OpenOffice.org - even though I've refreshed the font cache and found other recently installed fonts that work. - does anyone know what's going on?
[09:32] <Guest36668> Ok, When I connect my external hard drive I get an error saying something like "Bad Superblock/ error 32" and some other stuff. I
[09:32] <Guest36668> I can't go into more detail because right now I'm on a Parted Magic Live CD
[09:33] <moatt> I'm using the firefox that came with ubuntu, i can't find settings" so how do i input a proxy/
[09:33] <Guest36668> So, can anyone help me?
[09:34] <darolu> moatt: edit-preferences
[09:34] <NewWorld> Guest36668:  Change your nick so it's easier to communicate.
[09:34] <RPG-Master> NewWorld, Hello again :P
[09:35] <Mean_admin> I'm having a hell of a trouble in getting windows 7 to see a samba share... anyone got hints ?
[09:35] <NewWorld> Hey :) I think you should check your drive for file-system errors. What filesystem is on the drive?
[09:35] <moatt> darolu where after that?
[09:35] <NewWorld> moatt:  Menu  up top
[09:35] <darolu> moatt: advanced - network
[09:36] <RPG-Master> NewWorld, ext3
[09:36] <RPG-Master> NewWorld, How would I go about doing that?
[09:36] <greezmunkey> Mean_admin, run smbpasswd in a terminal, and setup a user for your Win7 box...
[09:37] <Mean_admin> greezmunkey: yeah I have a smbuser and it matches local machine user
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> sudo smbpasswd -a username
[09:37] <Mean_admin> greezmunkey: problem is win7 sees share, just wont connect "cannot access" says it
[09:38] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  Make sure it's unmounted(!!! important). Then 'e2fsck -fv [drive location]' << will scan for errors. Add the -y switch to that command to fix the errors
[09:38] <Mean_admin> greezmunkey: I've tried setting the share to guest ok = yes   guest only = yes  public = yes   and even under these conditions it won't connec
[09:38] <greezmunkey> Mean_admin, that could be a couple of things, have you checked iptables -L?
[09:39] <RPG-Master> NewWorld, How do I know where the drive is located if I don't have it mounted?
[09:39] <Mean_admin> greezmunkey: no, what should I be looking for ? I've made no rules for iptables and  the DLNA-server on the same machine works fine with a PS3
[09:39] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  'sudo fdisk -l'
[09:40] <jackhorner> somebody knows if there is a repo for ubuntu with hostapd 0.7.1 or 0.7.0?? also lucid has 0.6.9...

[09:54] <Cappy> Folks, i had a working wifi connection before i added this to /etc/network/interfaces ( http://pastebin.com/d73699e8 ) i've tried commenting it out and still dont get a dhcl lease response from my router.
[09:55] <mmaksimov> neil__: it's a software package installer
[09:55] <llutz> neil__: read "man apt-get"
[09:56] <matteo1990> there is a mode to restore gnome settings from cd?
[09:56] <greezmunkey> Mean_admin, you can run testparm to verify (simply) your smb.conf
[09:56] <Mean_admin> I shall!
[09:57] <candyban> Mean_admin, (new to the discussion) did you set correct filesystem permissions? (i.e. does the user have read/execute permissions on the shared directory?)

[09:58] <SukhE>  I had a ISO file. And then I made a DVD out of it on Ubuntu. I passed it on to a friend who made an ISO out of the DVD on Windows. He reports a different sha1 sum. Is it possible? Brasero reported successful burning on Ubuntu and ImgBurn on Windows.

[09:59] <SukhE> jadakren: Yes, he did that only. Can the sha1 change like this? I mean the files being the same.
[09:59] <jadakren> SukhE, maybe the windows burning software inserted extra data.

[10:00] <jadakren> SukhE, you should checksum the dvd after you burn it... check its the same as the iso you have.
[10:00] <SukhE> kinja-sheep: Why is that?
[10:00] <greezmunkey> Does anyone have a hack for the log file viewer that makes it display the latest entries at the top?
[10:00] <lidia> sorry=?
[10:00] <kinja-sheep> SukhE: Also, Ubuntu LiveCD should have "Check for errors" -- Use that.

[10:27] <feros_> candyban, if not I've added those lines without the quote signs :)
[10:27] <candyban> feros_, no, the starting # means it is comment (so it is ignored)

[10:27] <feros_> yes,

[10:29] <RPG-Master> is there a way to set fsck to -y after starting it without?
[10:30] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: sudo chmod 775 /etc/squid
[10:30] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  I wish there was but couldn't find a way. I just put something heavy on the enter key lol
[10:30] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: sudo chown proxy:proxy /etc/squid
[10:30] <RPG-Master> NewWorld: :P
[10:30] <Cowrix> NewWorld: I dont know how to install I tried installing with hte disk and wants me to format my whole C: Drive

[10:30] <edqnag> HI, i installed NWN but i cannot run it or remove it since it sais i dont have permision, what should i do, thank you!
[10:30] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  If after a while 'Enter' doesn't work anymore, press 'y' and vice versa.
[10:31] <NewWorld> Cowrix:  You need to partition your hardrive. Boot into the LiveCD. And use the Gparted program to make a new partition for Ubuntu.
[10:31] <RPG-Master> NewWorld: Hey, if I'm getting ALLOT of inode error being fixed... does that mean I'm going to find all my files in the lost+found folder?

[10:32] <feros> candyban, now I got no sound at all :(
[10:32] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: it never has been 644 by default
[10:32] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  Hmmm not so sure, I was recovering all my files from a crash just yesterday. Lost patience with holding Enter (too many inodes) and found _some_ files to be in Lost+Found.
[10:33] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: ls -ld /etc/squid

[10:33] <wie|het|my|nick> llutz - ls /etc/squid ??
[10:33] <candyban> feros, perhaps I forgot something ... you can revert by removing the # on the original line and adding a # in front of the new lines ...
[10:34] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: ls -ld /etc/squid
[10:34] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  It was so effed up I couldn't even mount it. Had to use 'R-Linux' from a Windows environment to recover what was left, so I'm not really sure of what happened heh :/
[10:34] <hsr> i want to make a ftp

[10:34] <wie|het|my|nick> llutz - what is it youre trying to say?
[10:34] <candyban> feros, you can keep the new lines, but put a # in front of it
[10:34] <RPG-Master> NewWorld: BUT WERE THE FILES OK? Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out right now :(
[10:35] <feros> oke,
[10:35] <candyban> feros, and remove the # in front of the original line

[10:35] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: what's the output of that command

[10:37] <ziroday> archboxman: an awful lot :)
[10:37] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  Some were. I lost a hella of a lot actually. Most valuable of which are FFx config, Krusader config and my Pics folder. But not such a big deal :/
[10:37] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  You should try R-Linux before you 'change' anything to be safe.

[10:50] <ircuser> how can i update only a particular repository in ubuntu for update to a particular package and not entire source list?
[10:50] <candyban_> feros, can you add "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5" .... perhaps that should be sufficient for you
[10:51] <edqnag> did i just extracted the file and need to do something else to install it?

[10:54] <nathan7> d4n1s: Compile it with g++.
[10:54] <d4n1s> where I could download that?
[10:54] <wie|het|my|nick> llutz - if you set permissions for a dir, does it not count for the files listed in then too?
[10:54] <NewWorld> edqnag:  is there a file in the folder called 'INSTALL' or 'README' the instructions are there.
[10:54] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: only if you use -R

[11:02] <RadicalDreamer> Seems the logical name of the card is wmaster0, but on iwconfig I see only an association to wlan0.
[11:02] <RadicalDreamer> Any help about that?
[11:02] <greezmunkey> Oivey, will the target pc boot from a thumb drive, and do you have one?
[11:03] <meowbuntu> hi is there an app that can scan and detect hdd for bad sectors and fix them etc
[11:03] <pyrosoft> exit
[11:03] <Keal> I am in the .ru channel, but I an rusty on russian and only have a US102 :(
[11:03] <NewWorld> meowbuntu:  what filesystem?
[11:03] <Oivey> greezmunkey:  the pc is usb bootable, but i have no thumb drive, only a usb HDD
[11:04] <greezmunkey> Oivey, can you burn a bootable CD?
[11:05] <Oivey> greezmunkey:  i have no cd drive, thats why im attempting the usb thing
[11:05] <anonymous> meowubuntu: well, I have jaunty, but I think in karmic
[11:05] <anonymous> there is one tool to check hdd
[11:06] <greezmunkey> Oivey, then your option is to make the usb hdd bootable. It should be doable.
[11:06] <anonymous> it's called palimpsest disk utility  i think
[11:06] <Keal> :( bbl
[11:07] <meowbuntu> NewWorld,  ext 2,3,4 i think my hdd has bad sectors or blocks
[11:07] <NewWorld> meowbuntu:  Use e2fsck, there's also fsck
[11:07] <Oivey> greezmunkey:  right, thats what im trying to do.
[11:08] <RadicalDreamer> I have a problem with my wireless card. It stopped working. In lshw it looks "disabled".
[11:08] <RadicalDreamer> Seems the logical name of the card is wmaster0, but on iwconfig I see only an association to wlan0.
[11:08] <anonymous> meowbuntu: You must unmount the disk first (in fsck)
[11:08] <RadicalDreamer> Can anybody help me?
[11:09] <meowbuntu> yes the disk is not mounted
[11:09] <anonymous> ok so try fsck
[11:10] <Gryllida> RadicalDreamer, this is the first thing that comes to my mind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices#Wireless%20networking
[11:10] <anonymous> hey meowbuntu: you can see this if you're in jaunty and you don't have palimpsest
[11:11] <johngilbrough> I've got a buddy in the isp business who swears by the 8.04 server and won't upgrade.  Is he making sense?

[11:13] <Cappy> folks, is anyone here a bit of a guru with /etc/network/interfaces and wifi? im REALLY stuck and have no idea where to go next.
[11:13] <greezmunkey> Oivey, look here under "The CD Approach": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[11:13] <johngilbrough> My problem with 8.04 is that it won't do an apt-get of tomcat6
[11:14] <greezmunkey> Oivey, there are several steps, but it looks like it will work.
[11:15] <greezmunkey> Oivey, I ment The CD Image Approach, sorry!

[11:34] <nexsja> hello, i've got an SVN related question. I know there's plenty of manuals on the net, i've honestly wasted an hour or so before resorting to this. I can't get it to work. I've create a repository in ~/svn/, and want to create a working directory in ~/repos/somedir. Any straightforward guideline on that?
[11:34] <edeca> nexsja: #svn ?
[11:34] <nexsja> there's a channel for that too, huh
[11:34] <edeca> nexsja: But basically, you need to svn checkout file:///path/to/repo
[11:34] <hsr> erUSUL:??
[11:35] <erUSUL> hsr: just like you did... maybe the ftp server is not storing the files where you think it should ? if the ftp client shows the file being copied and you see it in the server via the ftp client i think that the error is elsewhere
[11:35] <newbie> hello
[11:35] <hsr> no i didn't even find the file via ftp client....
[11:36] <nexsja> edeca, umm... thanks, that worked. So, then if i understand correctly, there has to be a repository for each project, right?
[11:36] <newbie> I cannot find my cdrom in computer window, anyone can help plz?
[11:36] <nexsja> newbie, did you insert a disc into your drive?
[11:36] <edeca> nexsja: That's up to you.  Personally I like 1 repository per project
[11:36] <edeca> nexsja: But really, #svn are a great help for that sort of question
[11:37] <nexsja> edeca, okay, thank you :>
[11:37] <newbie> nexsja, yes I did
[11:37] <Moat> Any good talking clients like MSN that work for ubuntu? any music players?
[11:38] <nexsja> newbie, is there anything on that disc?
[11:38] <newbie> nexsja, yes it has my printer driver
[11:38] <nexsja> Moat, Pidgin/XChat And rhythmboxx for music
[11:38] <erUSUL> Moat: try the defaults. Aplications>Internet ; Aplications>Multimedia
[11:38] <nexsja> newbie, are you trying to install your windows printer drivers on a linux box?
[11:39] <newbie> nexsja, I did try that because I cannot find the CDrom itself
[11:40] <nexsja> newbie, you could try and go to /media/cdrom
[11:40] <nexsja> or cdrom0/cdrom1 maybe it just wasnt mounted
[11:41] <nexsja> as far as i know every data carrying device you plug into your linux box ends up in /media/ :>
[11:42] <newbie> nexsja, when i go to /media I find three icon for cdrom one is a shortcut and one is cdrom0  the last is cdrom1
[11:42] <nexsja> did you try them?
[11:43] <newbie> nexsja, yes i try them but its empty folders

[11:45] <dawid> siema
[11:46] <SolarisBoy> given its in fstab previously that would work
[11:46] <SolarisBoy> if not 'sudo mkdir /media/cdrom && sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom'
