[03:31] <wendy_> hi´jo
[03:31] <sedi-d> http://www.ccs.uottawa.ca/software/vpn/ there it is
[03:31] <nickrud> srx2002, you mean the menu bar with the clock on it?
[03:31] <sedi-d> i have no clue on how to get it to work
[03:31] <fiber> hello... i was wondering if anyone knew of a good graphical program to modify the boot sequence (ie: go through the rc.* files)
[03:31] <srx2002> yes
[03:31] <mindrape> srx2002: you might get more help in #e or #enlightenment or #edev         You are using enlightenment, right?
[03:31] <wyrless2002> srx2002 are you clicking randomly on the blank portion of the menu bar?
[03:31] <srx2002> nickrud: yes
[03:31] <nickrud> fiber, bum lets you work with the init sequence
[03:31] <ardchoille> fiber: there's a nice cli app for that: sysv-rc-conf
[03:32] <srx2002> blank portion
[03:32] <AnnoyingMouse> can anyone pls help me with easytag?
[03:32] <AnnoyingMouse> side-bar pls
[03:32] <dereadi> what about vi?
[03:32] <nickrud> srx2002, very strange. You can restart the panels with   killall gnome-panel , they will autorestart. First thing I'd try
[03:32] <fiber> nickrud: ardchoille: perfect... thanks for the tips
[03:32] <dewente> so postfix is the best ?
[03:32] <srx2002> ok, i will try
[03:32] <mindrape> sendmail ftw
[03:33] <sedi-d> any ideas?
[03:33] <mindrape> !best
[03:33] <dereadi> is there anybody military here or have a cac card
[03:33] <tritium> dereadi: please stay on topic
[03:33] <dewente> which is the mos common used mail server ?
[03:33] <wyrless2002> you know that evince is the open source document reader, (similar to Adobe Acrobat Reader) and it's looking for a document in the tmp file.
[03:33] <mindrape> dewente - I have always used sendmail...
[03:33] <nickrud> dewente, best is in the mind of the beholder, but postfix is in ubuntu main, which means it gets the most love of all the mail servers
[03:33] <wendy_> arktvrvs: i did it i see the enye but how i use it?>
[03:33] <srx2002> killall didnt work
[03:33] <wendy_> got it!

[03:34] <dewente> all right
[03:34] <jbeitler> sendmail has more holes than... well i dont have a good comparison

[03:34] <srx2002> I'm a new to ubuntu...be gentle..LOL
[03:34] <nickrud> srx2002, that's really strange, since evince is the pdf viewer in ubuntu. No clue why the panel would be trying to read a file in tmp related to evince
[03:34] <mindrape> srx2002: ps auxf
[03:34] <dewente> which service is the most use from linux/unix.. which one I should know how to work for the most ?

[03:35] <dewente> yes
[03:35] <tritium> dewente: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer

[03:35] <arktvrvs> sh, awk, sed, perl
[03:35] <alami> hello i want to listen to .rm web in website mindrape
[03:35] <worldmaomao> 哈哈
[03:35] <mindrape> dewente - you have to know a bunch of things to get paid a lot... just knowing 1 thing really well usually gives you limited ability to make moolah
[03:35] <jbeitler> um you might want to add oracle to that list
[03:35] <wyrless2002> srx2002 are you using a live cd?
[03:35] <alami> hello i want to listen to .rm media in website mindrape

[03:36] <DasEi> cvd: so ?
[03:36] <dewente> mindrape, i guess that to know oracle nowadays is powerful .. what do u think ?
[03:36] <sedi-d> http://www.ccs.uottawa.ca/software/vpn/confirm-other.html
[03:36] <cvd> i have a fat32 partition named files, when i double click on it then is mounted, how can i add to to the fstab so its mount automatically
[03:36] <mindrape> dewente - I make good money and I know Oracle, among other things.  :)
[03:37] <DasEi> !who | cvd
[03:37] <DasEi> cvd: open a terminal
[03:37] <dewente> mindrape. i am glad of hear that
[03:37] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, ask the question, maybe someone will know the answer. Probably not a lot of easytag power users here, though
[03:37] <mindrape> dewente - just learn as much as you can about everything... perl, php, C, Oracle, apache, etc etc etc...
[03:37] <srx2002> wyrless2992:no..I got rid ow vista and went with all ubunto, not the live
[03:37] <tritium> dewente: please try to stay on the topic of ubuntu support
[03:37] <cvd> dasdajs, then
[03:37] <arktvrvs> cvd: modify the fstab file, using whats already in there for examples
[03:37] <dewente> tritium. ok brother
[03:37] <arktvrvs> you'll have to create a mount point with e.g. mkdir /windows

It used to, but as of the other day it didn't. Yet my Sandisk works perfectly fine in Ubuntu. So I'm starting to think the A-DATA isn't Linux supported.
[03:38] <DasEi> cvd: nick is DasEi, then sudo apt-get install pastebinit

[03:38] <sedi-d> so im guessing no one can help me out

[03:42] <DasEi> nbeebo: does alsamixergui list your scard correctly ?
[03:42] <arktvrvs> AND consider that ti seems only one app may use the sound at a time
[03:42] <zerodevice> is there any sudo command or any shortcuts to see the list of device or drivers like how we do in windows"device manaager"
[03:42] <cvd> DasEi,  fdisk-l: command not found

[03:45] <cvd> pastebinit is i nice addon
[03:45] <AnnoyingMouse> it must be SOOOOO obvious, it's stupid, but I just cant find it
[03:45] <zerodevice> tirtium, i've just downloaded the tar file for thunderbird. but how do i instal it?
[03:45] <nickrud> keewee, most likely a problem in /etc/hosts; make sure you have a line that looks like:  <IP_ADDRESS> <hostname> .
[03:45] <nickrud> !hostname | keewee (more useful info about that)
[03:46] <nbeebo> 1st, nothing is muted, 2nd, top of alsamixergui it says chip: realtek alc888
[03:46] <zerodevice> any sudo  command for installing a tar file?
[03:46] <nickrud> keewee, you may have to boot into recovery mode to do this stuff
[03:46] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, it will act on any files you have selected
[03:46] <keewee> nickrud, how do I boot into that mode/
[03:46] <keewee> ?

[03:47] <DavidCanarias> I would like to use the sudo command but I am not used to it. Is there anywhere I can found out what commands I can use?
[03:47] <nickrud> keewee, when you reboot, you will see something about grub 1.5 just after the bios. Hit escape, arrow down to the one that has recovery. When you get a blue screen, go to the command line
[03:47] <arktvrvs> my realtek im pretty sure is ich

[03:49] <DavidCanarias> Help with sudo command anyone? Where can I get a list of the possible commands
[03:49] <arktvrvs> godsyn: ls W<push TAB>
[03:49] <keewee> my /etc/hosts says <IP_ADDRESS> (hostname).smgroup
[03:49] <arktvrvs> DavidCanarias: any unix command
[03:49] <mindrape> DavidCanarias: man sudo
[03:49] <keewee> is that ok?
[03:49] <godsyn> DavidCanarias man sudo
[03:49] <keewee> sorry, that was <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:49] <nickrud> godsyn, I would rename that crap using nautilus, it's pretty smart about wierdly named files
[03:49] <AnnoyingMouse> my steps:
[03:49] <keewee> <IP_ADDRESS> is to localhost
[03:50] <cvd> DasEi, now what next
[03:50] <mindrape> DavidCanarias: sudo is just a command to let you use the privileges of another user (root when no parameters are passed)... any command in /bin /usr/bin  /usr/local/bin  /sbin  /usr/sbin  /usr/local/sbin  etc
[03:50] <nickrud> keewee, (hostname).smgroup exactly?  or the actualhostname.smgroup
[03:50] <arktvrvs> keewee: it says (hosname)?
[03:50] <nbeebo> no sound, card detected, mixers non-muted and half full, speakers working on other computer.. WHY??? :(
[03:50] <AnnoyingMouse> [select song][scanner][select files & directory] ... then waht?
[03:50] <dragon1> can some one tell me where should i place perl scripts in ubuntu 8.10 to get them executed from web browser...?
[03:50] <mindrape> nbeebo - lsmod     are snd drivers loaded for it?
[03:51] <keewee> arktvrvs it says rodrigo-eee.smgroup
[03:51] <arktvrvs> nbeebo: close all apps that may be using the soundcard and then open up just one
[03:51] <godsyn> arktvrvs it displays the directory. IE : cd W<tab tab> returns "W?adca Lalek 4 - Demon (Puppet Master 4 - The Demon)/" and "W?adca Lalek (Puppet Master)/"
[03:51] <arktvrvs> godsyn: then press enter
[03:51] <zerodevice> tritium, i've just untar the  thunderbird tar file. how do i install it?
[03:51] <zerodevice> tritium, coz i have 0% with linux
[03:51] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, I just ran it on a temp dir, set the dropdown to rename file and directory, set the mask I wanted, hit the wierd green button next to the dropdown and all the selected files were renamed
[03:51] <arktvrvs> zerodevice: cd into the directory and read the README or INSTALL file
[03:51] <godsyn> -bash: cd: W?adca Lalek 4 - Demon (Puppet Master 4 - The Demon)/: No such file or directory

[03:51] <cvd> DasEi, /dev/sda5 on /media/files  vfat rw nosuid nodev uid=1000 utf8 umask=0?
[03:51] <arktvrvs> godsyn: then rename it as advised above
[03:52] <DavidCanarias> arktvrvs: mindrape: godsyn: Thanks for this. I have looked and it may help me, but I get lost if for example I want to update and reinstall k3b I type in sudo apt-get update k3b and it say command not found
 all the btn does in my case is just rescans
[03:52] <nickrud> keewee, what does hostname in a terminal say?

[03:52] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, try a different mask, see what happens.

[03:53] <keewee> I am not being able to install a script. It starts to install then says "sudo: unable to resolve host rodrigo-eee" many times (like timeout when pinging)... so what should I do?

[03:55] <goldeagle> I want config my SAS controller model HP SC40GE for installation with CD UBUNTU desktop, what are the name this ?
[03:55] <arktvrvs> godsyn: do you know what the folder is actually named? is it a á or ñ or something?
[03:55] <keewee> nickrud, then just save?
[03:55] <dragon1> arktvrvs:get them executed from webserver(apache) on web browser...
[03:55] <konglingyun> in5819
[03:56] <godsyn> arktvrvs no clue..
[03:56] <wendy_> and what about a paint program?
[03:56] <nickrud> keewee, yep, and it should just work after that
[03:56] <mindrape> services-admin
[03:56] <sedi-d> u basterd

[03:56] <gaelfx> wendy_: if you want to edit the image, use GIMP
[03:56] <cvd> DasE1, /dev/sda5: LABEL="Files" UUID="D664-FA0B" TYPE="vfat"
[03:56] <sedi-d> u couldnt figure it out could ya
[03:56] <keewee> thanks nickrud, it works
[03:56] <DasE1> cvd: look up /dev/sdc  and copy the string ah, k
[03:56] <tritium> sedi-d: keep it family-friendly, please
[03:56] <DavidCanarias> arktvrvs: tritium: OK but do you know what I should do as I am using k3b and I burned a CD OK and went to repeat and burn another and it just blocked. This happens several times. I removed k3b and wanted to update on the terminal using the command line and cant do it. What command would I use then
[03:56] <nickrud> the dang folder probably has an actual ? in it
[03:56] <arktvrvs> dragon1: i dont know where exactly ubuntus apache default is
[03:56] <wendy_> oh ok great, i mean i want to print screen then save it as picture to show ppl abour my error
[03:56] <gaelfx> wendy_: also, look under Applications->Accessories-> Take Screenshot
[03:57] <arktvrvs> but its usually the cgi-bin directory
[03:57] <sedi-d> im having sex with 3 whores right now while sniffing coke!
[03:57] <nickrud> arktvrvs, dragon1 /var/www
[03:57] <DasE1> cvd: its not the seperate 8gig then ?!
[03:57] <arktvrvs> unless you modify the httpd.conf and add a directory to execute scripts from
[03:57] <godsyn> nicrud : possiably.. no clue.
[03:57] <gaelfx> wendy_: it's better to pastebin the terminal output when you use the program you're having trouble with, do you know how to do that?
[03:57] <arktvrvs> then it must have the execute permission.
 ur steps make sense, I thought that would work 2, but I'm missing something
[03:57] <gaelfx> !pastebin | wendy_
[03:57] <AnnoyingMouse> elementary
[03:57] <tritium> DavidCanarias: "sudo apt-get update" is to get an up-to-date list of the packages available in the repositories.  It doesn't upgrade any packages.
[03:57] <cvd> DasE1,  i was wrong the the partition sda5 :-)
[03:58] <dragon1> nickrud: should i directly paste here or make a folder...?
 snd_pcm_oss            42144  0

[03:58] <FloodBot3> nbeebo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:58] <gaelfx> wendy_: what program is giving you trouble?
[03:58] <mindrape> nbeebo - you've already been warned about flooding... use pastebin.com
[03:58] <wendy_> proftpd
[03:58] <DasE1> cvd: sda5 is the right to mount ?
[03:58] <DavidCanarias> tritium: so how would I update the packages?
[03:58] <arktvrvs> wendy_: you want a screenshot?
[03:58] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, not sure what you're missing. I simply highlight all the files I want to scan, open the tag and file name scan dialog box, select rename file and directory in the scanner dropdown, and hit the weird green icon
[03:58] <wendy_> want to use the gadmin-proftpd
[03:58] <gaelfx> !enter | nbeebo
[03:58] <cvd> DasE1, yes
[03:58] <nickrud> dragon1, ah, you're talking about cgi-bin?
[03:58] <tritium> DavidCanarias: what do you mean by "update"?
[03:58] <wendy_> yea bc i cant explain it, i want to do everything from the gadmin-etcetc

 fresh install w default settings

[03:59] <wendy_> cool
 ran as "sudo easytag"
[03:59] <cvd> DasE1,  i know i want the line
[03:59] <DavidCanarias> tritium: If a package like k3b doesnt work 100% I thought by removing and trying to find the latest version was an update
[03:59] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, no sudo needed, but not sure what you just did to your file system :)
[03:59] <mindrape> !resolution | stephan
[03:59] <gaelfx> how can I edit the dependencies in a .deb package so that I can install compiz?
[04:00] <tritium> DavidCanarias: you'd end up removing and then installing the same version.
 sry: "sudo easytag /media/XXX"
[04:00] <DasE1> cvd : sure about the (too short looking) uuid ? k, line then is :
 desperation
[04:00] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, I installed it just for you, as default as it gets ;) . You should reset the ownership of those files you were working on to yourself, then try running easytag again as a normal user, with no directory
[04:00] <tritium> gaelfx: get the source package, and modify it (note that I highly advise against this approach)
[04:00] <DavidCanarias> tritium: How can I find out then if there is a newer version
 k. i'll try
[04:01] <gaelfx> tritium: but what program do I use to edit it?
[04:01] <arktvrvs> google is often helpful.
[04:01] <nbeebo> i did lsmod and all these were 0; sky2, snd_seq_dummy, snd_seq_oss, snd_seq_midi and snd_pcm_oss
[04:01] <keewee> thanks mindrape, arktvrvs, nickrud, the problem was with the script that toggles the wireless... found the way to fix it
[04:01] <DasE1> cvd : UUID=D664-FA0B   /media/files   vfat     auto,user, rw  0  0
[04:01] <tritium> DavidCanarias: there won't be a newer version in the repository unless there is a major bug fix or security fix, until the next releasy
[04:01] <gaelfx> tritium: I'm going to use the list posted at packages.ubuntu.com to check against and find out what is wrong with the packages dependcy list
[04:01] <_2> gaelfx if you have to ask that,...
[04:01] <arktvrvs> glad to hear it keewee
[04:01] <tritium> gaelfx: to edit what?
[04:01] <happycycling> any thoughts on how to fix the live cd issue?
[04:01] <DavidCanarias> tritium: thks very much
[04:01] <cvd> DasE1,  i never used the UUID before
[04:01] <arktvrvs> wireless problems can be very frustrating
[04:01] <keewee> Does anyone know what is that nm-applet asking for my password? Do I need it?
[04:02] <nickrud> dragon1, I've never used cgi-bin myself, about the only active stuff I've run is php driven. it's usually /var/www/cgi-bin though
 nope. FAT32 disk
[04:02] <arktvrvs> nm is perhaps networkmanager?
[04:02] <gaelfx> tritium: everytime I download compiz-core, the dependencies are wrong, I need to fix it to install that and be able to do any more updates
[04:02] <tritium> gaelfx: a text editor to edit the files under the /debian directory in the source package
[04:02] <adub> i am trying to setup a program via configure that keeps asking for a sap3r  NOT found, module sapr3 disabled
[04:02] <dragon1> nickrud:when i tried executing using url: localhost/cgi-bin/pgm.pl ,url not found on this server is the o/p..
[04:02] <tritium> gaelfx: I doubt the dependencies are wrong
[04:02] <gaelfx> tritium: ok, thanks
[04:02] <nbeebo> i did lsmod and all these were 0; sky2, snd_seq_dummy, snd_seq_oss, snd_seq_midi and snd_pcm_oss, can this be why my sound isnt working?
[04:02] <DasE1> cvd : UUId longs wrong  a usal is f.e : UUID=a43e8af4-9cb9-4d85-843c-7aa1539fa410
[04:02] <DasE1> *looks
[04:02] <gaelfx> tritium: hang on, I'll pastebin the output of apt-get
[04:03] <nickrud> dragon1, take a look at /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default; that's where cgi-bin would be defined
[04:03] <mindrape> nbeebo  -no, that is fine.
[04:03] <DasE1> cvd : anyway, finish fstab with a blank line (hit enter), SAVE it, remount /dev/sda5

[04:06] <nbeebo> whats a command to reconfigure or reinstall alsa completely?

[04:06] <tritium> untermensch_: thinkfinger-tools (use "apt-cache search thinkfinger" to see all available packages for it)
[04:06] <untermensch_> tritium: So, what should I do since it's not in intrepid?
[04:06] <tritium> lala_lala: please don't repeat

[04:16] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, I see that way of getting to the scanner now, it's new. Same place I'm at. I doubt that you want to rename directly on the ipod though.
[04:16] <DasE1> nbeebo: available sound cards ?
[04:16] <nbeebo> Intel
[04:16] <nbeebo> nothing more
[04:16] <\Kira> Im going to be install the GUI to my server, whats the package called to install Gnome? Also, how can I stop init, or gnome, or whatever from starting at boot-up?

[04:17] <arktvrvs> dragon1: NP
[04:17] <nickrud> AnnoyingMouse, as far as I can tell, the only difference is I'm doing it in my home dir, you're doing it on the ipod. Not sure why it won't write to the ipod, but hey its apple
[04:17] <arktvrvs> crud sorry
[04:17] <DasE1> nbeebo: reopen alsamixer,  soundcard shown correct ?
 no worries; i did make a full backup b4 doing anything silly

[04:27] <goldeagle> DasE1, module=ahci , the name is correct ???
[04:28] <DasE1>  goldeagle: can't find any sound there, a proliant server ?
[04:29] <nbeebo> can u just reinstall linux-generic-modules? or will that %#%1 ubuntu up?
[04:29] <goldeagle> DasE1, yes, a PROLIANT server, but I need the name of the SAS controller for install UBUNTU
[04:29] <goldeagle> DasE1, I try install with UBUNTU server, install normal but problem for inicialization later
[04:30] <goldeagle> DasE1, I try UBUNTU desktop, my SAS Controller not found
[04:30] <goldeagle> DasE1, understand me ?
[04:30] <cobb28> i have a TH-50PZ80U plasma tv connected via hdmi right now and i need help with my xorg.conf please, the desktop is too big currently by an inch or so on the screen, i cannot figure out what to put in my xorg.conf
[04:30] <DasE1>  goldeagle: I see, I was on modul for sound, try alternate installer, its a little special hardware
[04:30] <nibsa1242b> need help; I can't get my drive to see dvd -r it reports no media... dvd +r, -rw, and + rw works fine. It is -r compatible.
[04:31] <goldeagle> DasE1, alternate installer, I dont understand very well, explain me please
[04:31] <tritium> cobb28: it's the TV's overscan
[04:32] <AnnoyingMouse> nickrud: thanx . catch u l8r. have a good w-end
[04:32] <cobb28> tritium: does it neeed to be fixed or do i leave it like this for full 1080p video?
[04:32] <tritium> cobb28: you may be unable to fix it.  It's a common problems with TVs.
[04:33] <goldeagle> DasE1, I go try with module name now
[04:33] <goldeagle> DasE1, Thx you very much for your help my friend, Im brazilian, I see you later
[04:35] <nbeebo> well i guess its just pure bad luck that both plug-ins isnt working then? everything seems fine in ubuntu
[04:35] <linguini> My ubuntu VM is in a very bad state because I did 'apt-get remove network-manager' in an attempt to configure a static IP setup.  Any recommended reads for getting static IP up and running?
[04:35] <arktvrvs> tritium: what is the meaning of 'clone display' in the screen resolution manager?
[04:35] <cobb28> tritium: when i go into the nvidia settings it lists as 1920x1080 and 50hz...this is a newer plasma tv shouldnt it be 60hz minimum? i think it's just the fact that i need to add a line to xorg.conf
[04:35] <nbeebo> plug-ins to my sound car*
[04:35] <arktvrvs> linguini: ifconfig
[04:35] <tritium> arktvrvs: if you have a dual display, both monitors would show the same thing
[04:35] <arktvrvs> ah, i see
[04:36] <DasE1>  nbeebo: sudo apt-get install alsa-firmware-loaders
[04:36] <tritium> cobb28: you can try tweaking modelines.  Without knowing your TV specs, I cannot comment on the refresh rate.
[04:36] <DasE1>  nbeebo: sudo reboot
[04:36] <linguini> arktvrvs: You mean man ifconfig?  Is that preferred to ifup?
[04:36] <arktvrvs> linguini: ifconfig can be used to configure just about any parameter of an interface
[04:36] <nbeebo> dase1: ill try it thanks
[04:37] <nibsa1242b> need help; I can't get my drive to see dvd -r it reports no media... dvd +r, -rw, and + rw works fine. It is -r compatible.
[04:37] <nbeebo> its the newest version
[04:37] <nbeebo> dase1: its the newest version
[04:37] <arktvrvs> cobb28: this may not help but ive found it helpful to reboot into the recovery shell and run Xorg -configure then copy the new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then reboot
[04:37] <arktvrvs> it gives me many more resolutions to choose from
[04:37] <linguini> arktvrvs: Thanks; I'll look at the man page again.  Can you tell me if 'ifconfig -a' only shows the loopback interface (and not eth0/eth1), need I look elsewhere?
[04:38] <DasE1>  nbeebo: seems like correct driver was loaded before, do a reboot
[04:38] <arktvrvs> linguini: try ifconfig lo
[04:38] <nbeebo> dase1: oh ok brb then
[04:39] <linguini> arktvrvs: Here's what makes it worse - The VM is miles away; I don't have access to the VM either; I have to email my coworker the commands to invoke, and he has to paste them back to me.
[04:40] <arktvrvs> linguini: try googling for linux manpage ifconfig :)
[04:40] <arktvrvs> usually you only need a couple parameters
[04:40] <arktvrvs> namely, the address and netmask
[04:41] <arktvrvs> (ssh is a great thing :)
[04:42] <linguini> Yes, I'd like to ssh, but I killed my network connection to the VM, and I'm sitting on a console-only linux box that can't VNC to view the VM "console".
[04:43] <Diazepam> 1334 people! shit a brick
[04:44] <tritium> Diazepam: keep it family-friendly, please
[04:44] <arktvrvs> linguini: you'll want something like ifconfig eth0 inet <IP_ADDRESS> netmask 0xffffff00 up
[04:44] <arktvrvs> though im clueless when it comes to setting up routes
[04:45] <linguini> arktvrvs: Thanks, I'll email the suggestion..
[04:45] <linguini> :-\
[04:46] <theycallmepost> is there a way to bring all windows to front? i am running an app (in wine) and can hear the audio from it but cannot see it anywhere...
[04:47] <nibsa1242b> need help; I can't get my drive to see dvd -r it reports no media... dvd +r, -rw, and + rw works fine. It is -r compatible.
[04:47] <idea4gud> is there any way i can recver my original etc/sysctl.conf
[04:48] <idea4gud> i have screwed up my sysctl.conf file and it says 2 versions of same file
[04:48] <cobb28> arktvrs: how do i enter the recovery shell?
[04:49] <cobb28> arktvrvs: how do i enter the recovery shell?
[04:49] <arktvrvs> when the computer boots you have a chance to press ESC (only a couple seconds)
[04:49] <cobb28> ok thx
[04:49] <Diazepam> cobb28 - you can always reboot and enter recovery mode or do a sudo intit 1
[04:49] <arktvrvs> select the recovery kernel
[04:49] <cobb28> will try
[04:49] <arktvrvs> "drop to root console"
[04:49] <lucax> i have problems with v4l drivers i think, cant apply effects in cheese to my web cam, does anyone has a problem like this under intrepid? didnt have that problem on hardy
[04:50] <dombre> Hi I have a new eee 1000.  I have just done a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 EEE distro.  I have attempted to get online but can not so I checked my network settings.  I turned off roaming mode and enabled dhcp on my wired connection.  I have verified that my cable is in working order and that it is enabled in the bios.  I know that my cable modem and my ethernet cable work because they allow my desktop to connect without an issue.  I have
[04:50] <dombre> tried removing the battery and power cable and letting my eee sit for 10 minutes before reconnecting them and booting.  here is the output from my terminal after an ifconfig and a couple pings http://pastebin.com/m16a7de0c any ideas?
[04:50]  * dr_willis wonders if EEE-ubuntu has its own channel
[04:50] <arktvrvs> !eee
[04:50] <Diazepam> dombre - i have the same model
[04:50] <Diazepam> i have mine working fine
[04:51] <Diazepam> do an ifconfig and see if your ethernet adapter is showing
[04:51] <dombre> i've done that it is
[04:51] <nbeebo> so.. i guess i have sound.. maybe had all along, if i have mixer to max i get lil bit sound, but ALOT of background noice, i guess its because of the hardware
[04:51] <Diazepam> check your broadband modem - some need you to power off between disconnecting and reconnecting a new device
[04:52] <Diazepam> here in australia some optus cable modems dont have inbult DHCP service
[04:53] <DasE1> nbeebo: don' think so , check in alsamixer: - the icons above sliders are green -pcm is risen  - check input/output switches
[04:53] <Diazepam> so you need to power cycle the modem if you want to connect a new device and have an ip lease refreshed
[04:53] <dombre> interesting I'll give it a shot thanks
[04:53] <nbeebo> dase1: ok hope it works
[04:54] <Diazepam> its crappy -if this is the case see if you can upgrade your modem
[04:54] <nibsa1242b> why won't my computer mount dvd -r disks?
[04:54] <dombre> I'll just get a switch that should fix the problem.
[04:54] <dombre> I just haven't needed one until now.
[04:55] <dombre> alright I'm going to try power cycling the modem thanks.
[04:56] <nbeebo> dase1: couldnt get input to show up on alsamixer but used gnome-mixer and muted microphone, no noice, but very little sound
[04:56] <nbeebo> dase1: still
[04:58] <DasE1> nbeebo: paste : aplay -l
[04:58] <Vinceman> my computer cannot read from my DVD-source... why's that?
[04:58] <bungieQord> what command lets me read the contents of another folder that I am not in?
[04:58] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone know why TurboGears 2 is not in the Ubuntu repository? Or why both versions arent, etc?
[04:59] <nbeebo> device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
[04:59] <dr_willis> Leefmc,  perhaps no one wants to maintain it.. what is it ?
[04:59] <DasE1> nbeebo: paste : find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd
[04:59] <nbeebo> device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
[04:59] <Diazepam> bungieQord: ?????   ls -al /path/to/directory
[04:59] <Vinceman> how can you change area code of your DVD's?
[04:59] <DasE1> !paste | nbeebo
[04:59] <bungieQord> thx
[05:00] <dr_willis> Vinceman,  you mean 'region' code? :) some of the media players under linux make that  un needed.. the mplayer faq i belive mentions  region codes..
[05:00] <Leefmc> dr_willis: Its a python web framework. Not sure, i was just curious, because for many things it seems ubuntu repos have "one master version" and for many things this is a bit of a hindrance. Given that TG1 and TG2 differ greatly
[05:00] <sug1> Can i mask bash/script file to enter in three keys?? (f5, mouse 1, mouse 1)?? is this possible
[05:00] <DasE1> Vinceman: no need for it in linux
[05:00] <bryan> Jordan_U: i'm back: are you able to continue helping me with openoffice?
[05:00] <nbeebo> dase1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75089/
[05:01] <dr_willis> sug1,  perhaps clarify that  a bit more...
[05:01] <Vinceman> dr_willis, DasE1 but still my program says it cannot read from source
[05:01] <dr_willis> Vinceman,  i just rip dvd to avi and be done with it.. :)
[05:01] <cvd> where is ubuntu-es
[05:01] <bryan> can someone help with installing openoffice? i have kubuntu intrepid which came with 2.4.  today, i tried to upgrade to 3.0 and it failed, now i can't install 2.4 or 3.0
[05:02] <Jordan_U> bryan: Sure
[05:02] <Diazepam> bryan - what error message did you get?
[05:02] <cvd> Cannot join #ubuntu-es (You are banned). ?
[05:02] <sug1> dr_willis: I would like to make a bash script file to enter in three different keys every 1 second.  in order:  hit f5, wait one second, hit mouse 1 (left click), wait one second, hit mouse 1, one second, and repeat.  Is this possible?
[05:02] <dr_willis> its amazing the # of people that have issues with OOO3 :)
[05:02] <nbeebo> dase1: its a common hardware problem tho, if plug isnt fully connected with sound card theres like 1/3 sound
[05:02] <Vinceman> what's the command for ripping dr_willis?
[05:03] <bryan> Jordan_U, diazepam: this is where we left off: it still failed http://pastebin.com/m6826b4a0
[05:03] <Vinceman> but heck I have them on DVD they should work!
[05:03] <bungieQord> Does anyone know what command I can use to find out if a file is a directory, regular file, or other?
[05:03] <dr_willis> sug1,  your use of the term 'to enter' is confuseing.. You want a script to be a macro that 'inputs F5, then clicks?' ive seen no bash method of doing that..  some other tools may be able to do 'macros' like that..
[05:04] <dr_willis> Vinceman,  i tend to use k9copy  actually.. or dvdrip
[05:04] <DasE1> nbeebo: mostly mono , or tackle the plug, but so far everything looks right, unless you haven't muted / unswitched anything
[05:05] <sug1> dr_willis: yes, like an macro.  sorry for my poor terms.  Would you happen to know what such tools to do such macro actions?
[05:05] <bungieQord> Does anyone know what command I can use to find out if a file is a directory, regular file, or other?
[05:05] <zetheroo> I just reformatted my laptop and installed Intrepid Ibex ... but now my Wireless adapter no longer connects to wireless networks
[05:05] <zetheroo> please help
[05:05] <Diazepam> bryan - do you see the package listed when you do a:  apt-cache search openoffice | grep writer
[05:05] <mindrape> bungieQord:          file filename            file directoryname
[05:06] <luke-jr> zetheroo: does it connect to wired networks?
[05:06] <bryan> Diazepam: no result came back on that command
[05:06] <linguini> bungieQord: test
[05:06] <Diazepam> bryan - have you updated your distro lately?
[05:06] <zetheroo> luke-jr: the laptop is online atm ...
[05:06] <bryan> Diazepam: yes, it's current as of today
[05:07] <Diazepam> bryan - have you done an: $sudo aptitude update
[05:07] <zetheroo> luke-jr: I have another USB wireless dongle plugged in that is alowing me to be online
[05:07] <zetheroo> luke-jr: but the internal Atheros chip is not working properly
[05:07] <bryan> Diazepam: i did a sudo apt-get update
[05:07] <zetheroo> luke-jr: even though the proprietary driver is installed and active
[05:07] <luke-jr> zetheroo: I don't support illegal drivers.
[05:08] <Diazepam> bryan - checked your repositories to ensure they are enabled and reflect the current distro?
[05:08] <zetheroo> luke-jr: well actually its not propietary ... I meant the default driver
[05:08] <luke-jr> zetheroo: does 'iwlist scan' do much?
[05:09] <bryan> Diazepam: they are the current distro plus unsupported updates enabled
[05:09] <zetheroo> luke-jr: my internal card allows me to see wireless networks but not connect to them ... in Hardy there was no problems
[05:09] <luke-jr> hm
[05:09] <tritium> Diazepam, bryan: "ubuntu" is the distro, which doesn't change.  The release is the aspect that changes.
[05:10] <DasE1> nbeebo: if you're not right with faulty hardware, you can rebuild alsa as a last try with a standard ausio, follow :http://paste.ubuntu.com/75092/
[05:10] <DasE1> *audio
[05:10] <Diazepam> tritium - thanks for the grammar lesson
[05:10] <tritium> Diazepam: no grammar involved
[05:10] <idea4gud> it complained of 2 versions of sysctl.conf i modifid
[05:10] <bryan> Diazepam: i'm using kubuntu intrepid... sources.list is correctly pointing to intrepid
[05:10] <idea4gud> and saved original
[05:11] <idea4gud> so will the .swp file will be discarded automatically
[05:11] <bryan> tritium:  i'm using kubuntu intrepid... sources.list is correctly pointing to intrepid
[05:11] <idea4gud> i dnt see /etc/ folder
[05:11] <Diazepam> bryan - what about other packages - can you install mutt or something else?
[05:11] <tritium> bryan: ok
[05:12] <zetheroo> I have the Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
[05:12] <nbeebo> dase1: if it doesnt work i can just reinstall the drivers i have now?
[05:12] <tritium> zetheroo: what issue are you having with it?
[05:12] <sug1> I need a macro application.  Does anyone know of an application to do this?
[05:13] <tritium> zetheroo: see the ubuntu 8.10 release notes for the AR5212.  There is a required work-around if you suspend/resume.
[05:13] <zetheroo> tritium: since installing Intrepid I can no longer connect to visable wireless networks
[05:13] <chuckc> hey seems like i can no longer make exe shell scripts, a simple #!/bin/sh  echo "hello"  gives this : echo: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[05:13] <zetheroo> tritium: I can see wireless networks but cannot connect to them
[05:14] <dr_willis> chuckc,  be sure theres no extra characters  - what editor did you use?  ive see extra characters added if using notepad.exe or other windows editors.
[05:14] <tritium> zetheroo: at any time?  Do you suspend/resume?
[05:14] <DasE1> nbeebo: backup /etc/modules and  /var/lib/alsa/asound.state  , if you want to be ultra-sure, but I don't think you have to
[05:14] <tritium> zetheroo: this is what I was referring to: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Wireless%20doesn%27t%20work%20after%20suspend%20with%20ath_pci%20driver
[05:14] <Diazepam> sug1 - there are plugins for firefox that allow for gui-macro building (for web based stuf)
[05:14] <zetheroo> tritium: at any time
[05:14] <chuckc> @dr_willis  created in vi ,   i also created a guest account, logged in, created same script and ran it fine,
[05:14] <tritium> zetheroo: that's strange.  I too have AR5212, and it works.
[05:15] <zetheroo> tritium: I'll get to resume/suspend issues when I can connect
[05:15] <bryan> Diazepam: just installed ksudoku
[05:15] <dr_willis> chuckc,  try #!/bin/bash  perhaps
[05:15] <nbeebo> dase1: well i switched to my main speakers now, and it works much better
[05:16] <DasE1> nbeebo: see above ^_^,
[05:16] <chuckc> dr_willis yeah, no go,  actually trying to create python scripts led me to this, they won't run either
[05:17] <nbeebo> dase1: ill remember that... but i call it done ;))
[05:17] <dr_willis> chuckc,  thats really weird..
[05:17] <DasE1> nbeebo: lol , what a long birth, nice then
[05:17] <bryan> Diazepam, tritium: just installed ksudoku, so i can definitely download and install stuff...
[05:18] <errr> I have ubuntu server 8.04 is it possible to get mysql 5.1 on my box with out installing from source??
[05:18] <errr> I need mysql-5.1.11-beta
[05:18] <sug1> diazepm, not quite what i am looking for but thanks
[05:19] <cvd-pr> Hello
[05:19] <nbeebo> dase1: indeed.. well its time for me to go to bed... bye, Thank you very much! :)
[05:19] <teratoma> errr: you could download the community builds directly from the Mysql website
[05:19] <DasE1> nbeebo: np, n8
[05:19] <errr> teratoma: Ok Ill give that a shot
[05:20] <teratoma> errr: if you are totally awesome you'll install it a LVM partition so you can snap the data and back it up
[05:21] <ziroday`> Hi, how can I tell what type of ram I have besides opening the case?
[05:21] <chuckc> dr_willis so just copied /usr/bin/lesspipe to my home, edited the file, made it a simple echo "hello" and ran it.  it worked fine.
[05:23] <dr_willis> chuckc,  where were the other scripts stored?  same location? thers some text editors that can show 'special' caracters. like ctrm-m and so forth. (fte is one) It sure SOUNDS liek the issue i had with people using notepad.exe or some specific vfat options
[05:23] <chuckc> i am using vi
[05:24] <dr_willis> I dont think vi has tha toption.. at least not that ive seen
[05:24] <chuckc> says unix format
[05:26] <dr_willis> yea. i dont see how that can be happening if you use vi -
[05:26] <dr_willis> unless you are some how saving to a vfat/ntfs partition
[05:26] <node357> please help. zsnes crashes when I run it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/75096/

[05:29] <dr_willis> !find snes
[05:29] <dr_willis> There ya go. :)
[05:29] <node357> ohhh sneaky!
[05:29] <dr_willis> it pays to search the package manager eh?
[05:29] <node357> yes, sorry about that, and thanks again
[05:29] <dr_willis> 2 of those are front ends to snes9x-x i bet
[05:30] <node357> looks like it

[05:40] <linguini> chuckc: Does your script consist of 1 line?
[05:40] <idea4gud> what is the purpose of sysctl.conf
[05:40] <idea4gud> its messed up
[05:40] <chuckc> linguini : i figured out my problem.  I copied my .vimrc from someone who had ffs=mac,unix, dos  so i think it was the char encodings

[06:03] <gpled> mindrape: yes
[06:03] <mindrape> then try to sudo /etc/init.d/./gdm restart
[06:04] <mindrape> do that in a separate terminal
[06:04] <mindrape> you can ALT F2-F6 to get to various standard terms
[06:04] <tritium> Ctrl-Alt-F1 works as well.  (Why does everyone forget v.c. 1?)
[06:04] <gpled> mindrape: do you remember the command to get the mouse working in terminal?
[06:04] <gpled> gdm, or something
[06:06] <mindrape> gpled - gdm is the gnome display manager
[06:07] <mindrape> tritium - its mainly for troubleshooting on bootup.
[06:07] <mindrape> tritium - by default I config mine to get console errors written there.
[06:07] <tritium> mindrape: no, only during install is that true
[06:07] <mindrape> it's not a usable terminal according to standard unix implementations that I've been around.
[06:07] <cvd-pr> ?
[06:07] <tritium> V.C. 1 is just as valid as 2 -- 6 for use.
[06:07] <mindrape> tritium - maybe in your little world.
[06:07] <tritium> mindrape: no
[06:07] <mindrape> mine is config'd for errmsgs.
[06:08] <gpled> mindrape: that did the trick
[06:08] <mindrape> and that is how all the implementations I've used have been.
[06:08] <gpled> thanks
[06:08] <mindrape> np
[06:08] <tritium> mindrape: easy on the condescending statements, buddy
[06:08] <mindrape> tritium - right back at ya.
[06:09] <mindrape> pal....
[06:09] <tritium> mindrape: I've not made any
[06:09] <mindrape> oh really, buddy?
[06:09] <tritium> Drop it, mindrape.
[06:09] <mindrape> likewise...
[06:09] <mindrape> you have to get the last sentence in apparently...
[06:09] <mindrape> you can just /ignore me if you dont like my point of view on v.c.1
[06:10] <tritium> you could have done the same
[06:10] <mindrape> orly?
[06:11] <metbsd> akahig2, why you wanna do that?
[06:11] <mindrape> I wasn't the one that got butt hurt over vc1 being left out as an option.
[06:11] <tritium> mindrape: again, drop it.  You're offtopic.
[06:11] <mindrape> and I wasnt the one that insinuated stupidity for leaving it out as an option without realizing its purpose in standard unix.
[06:11] <mindrape> tritium - you are the one continuing it.
[06:11] <mindrape> I'm fine dropping it... you are the one that keeps going.
[06:11]  * tritium looks at the last several lines (they're yours)
[06:12] <mindrape> looks at the last line... it's yours.
[06:12]  * mindrape does that
[06:12] <ectospasm> mindrape: do you know what you're talking about?  VC1 is for console... you can configure it anyway you'd like, but it's a normal terminal like F2-6...
[06:12] <akahig2> metbsd: because 3.0.4 is consuming a huge amount of CPU cycles and the previous version did not.  am searching for ways to fix the problem, and that seemed like a good place to start.
[06:13] <arvind_khadri> hi, how do i create a movie , i have .jpg files which i want to use and some mp3 to give the bg score

[06:25] <ardchoille> How do I find out which package file foo is in? dpkg -S foo ?
[06:26] <tritium> ardchoille: yes
[06:26] <ardchoille> tritium: I'm guessing apt-file is better?
[06:27] <tritium> ardchoille: they serve different purposes.  apt-file is for packages you don't have installed.  dpkg -S is for packages you *do* have installed
[06:27] <ardchoille> ah, that helps
[06:27] <ardchoille> tritium: thank you
[06:27] <tritium> Sure.
[06:29] <gpled> like the new progress bar in 8.10
[06:29] <Sandeep`> how can I execute an exe from command line ?
[06:29] <gpled> Sandeep`: like a dos file?
[06:31] <Sandeep`> gpled : is ./ used for executing the file ?
[06:32] <bogesman> Sandeep` yes
[06:32] <Sandeep`> Thanks bogesman
[06:33] <bogesman> if its executable otherwise use chmod +x filename

[06:56] <camelreef> good morning from Scotland!
[06:56] <multiverse> hello world
[06:57] <camelreef> I'm looking for a great mind who would have made a PPA for the SVN version of libgpod
[07:01] <jbu311> join #bash
[07:01] <oOarthurOo> Hi... I removed rhythmbox because it was causing high interupts on powertop and wasn't playing well with my mtp device. I'm looking for suggestions on something a little more lightweight.... something to manage my music I mean, and sync with mp3 players.
[07:02] <paul68> Do you get any notification when you launching your iptable script through the interfaces file during (re)booting process?
[07:04] <statim> is anyone familiar with lvm?
[07:04] <teratoma> what about lvm
[07:05] <robbiee> DCC SEND "FuCkFrEeNoDe" 0 0 0
[07:08] <statim> teratoma: i formated a device with mkfs.ext3 before i knew about lvm, and now i sort of know a little about it, and im guessing i should have been using lvm to handle formatting the disk and setting it up for use? i still really dont get it, other than i get the feeling i should have used lvm
[07:08] <Guest25962> hello all
[07:08] <Guest74860> hii
[07:10] <oOarthurOo> statim: Depends what the device is, and how you are using it. USB stick? Not needed. 80GB hard-drive with nothing but ubuntu and one partition? Not needed.
[07:10] <gluonman> How can I install the latest GTK+ engine?
[07:11] <statim> oOarthurOo: amazon EBS storage volume that gets mounted to a running ec2 instance as /dev/sdh.  not sure that will make much sense unless youve played around with the amazon stuff a little
[07:12] <multiverse> Hi.  I'm trying to install Ubuntu as minimally possible.  It was suggested I use the alternate version of Ubuntu.  When I do, it is still quite big.  How do I get it down to below a gig.
[07:12] <oOarthurOo> statim: This channel is english only plz. ;)
[07:12] <statim> haha
[07:13] <scientes_> oOarthurOo, that was prety english to me
[07:13] <paul68> Do you get any notification when you launching your iptable script through the interfaces file during (re)booting process?
[07:13] <scientes_> not unlike a NFS or CIFS mount
[07:13] <statim> oOarthurOo: its basically a 30GB that i can do whatever i want with.  im using it for the postgresql data directory
[07:13] <Formode> Anyone aware on how to set up a stream feed from say, Songbird to my apache server (On same computer) so my friend can tune in?
[07:14] <scientes_> oh wait amazon works with block devices col
[07:14] <scientes_> its jsut a solid block of data !
[07:14] <statim> scientes_: ya
[07:14] <pen> hi
[07:15] <oOarthurOo> scientes_: I was just trying to tell statim that indeed I had no idea what he was talking about, in a humorous way. But from what I understand about lvm, it's good for encrypting and it's good if you want to be able to add and remove space from a partition. So... if he suddenly decides he needs 200 GB, he can add a 250GB HD to the 30GB LVm and then easily extend the partition.
[07:15] <Guest74860> hi
[07:15] <Guest74860> ubuntu 8.10 freezes randomly
[07:16] <Guest74860> and caps lock light blinks
[07:16] <Guest74860> how shall i solve it
[07:16] <hateball> Guest74860☃ Are you using an intel wireless card?
[07:16] <statim> oOarthurOo: sounds like i better read up, sounds good
[07:16] <scientes_> oOarthurOo statim , probably smart use it then as those S3s can grow shink i believe, also smart to turn on compression, althouh actively shinking and expand filessystems do not exist that i know of
[07:16] <gluonman> I'm trying to install some new theme engines, but during the checking process it gives me the error that I need GTK+2.*, etc. So my question is how to find and install that GTK+ engine.
[07:17] <Guest74860> yes
[07:17] <Guest74860> its intel 4965agn
[07:17] <Arod22> can anyone tell me how to run windows programs on ubuntu??
[07:17] <oOarthurOo> Arod22: wine or crossover office
[07:17] <far_> salam(hi)
[07:17] <oOarthurOo> Arod22: Or a virtual machine
[07:18] <Arod22> where do i get wine?
[07:18] <Guest74860> hateball: its intel 4965agn
[07:18] <Arod22> besides the liquor store
[07:18] <joebodo> !wine | arod22
[07:18] <Arod22> thanx
[07:19] <LuYu> does anybody here know how to input extremely rare chinese characters in ubuntu?
[07:19] <srx2002> how do I view my entire hard disk with ubuntu ( to check from time to time available space on each of the partitions
[07:19] <gluonman> Arod22, this website will explain how to add the wine repository: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb . Follow those instructions and then type in terminal (but without quotes) "sudo aptitude install wine". Then you'll be all set.
[07:21] <srx2002> anyone?
[07:21] <platius> df -h
[07:21] <hateball> Guest74860☃ Please dont pm in the future without asking. This should solve your problem: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#System%20lock-ups%20with%20Intel%204965%20wireless
[07:21] <Arod22> cool! thank you

[07:22] <yanchoABC> Hi, is it possible to make a cron run in different times? I want it to run every 1 hour between 7 - 16, the rest of the hours every 15 minutes - thanks
[07:24] <zetheroo1> when I open a program of any kind it opens with the window border underneath the top gnome panel ... how do i stop this from happening?
[07:24] <darkbishop_> !ipv6
[07:24] <keram> yanchoABC, you could always have more han one cron entry. i dont know how to do what you want with only one
[07:24] <srx2002> platius: thank you, is there a GUI version as well?
[07:25] <hateball> yanchoABC☃ I second the... second cron-job idea
[07:25] <platius> srx2002; probably but not sure what
[07:25] <Sharp_eyes__> hi
[07:25] <Sharp_eyes__> how are u all
[07:25] <jbu311> i am good, thank you
[07:25] <Sharp_eyes__> any body help me in registration of my nic
[07:26] <Sharp_eyes__> nick*
[07:26] <Guest74860> hateball: i'm sorry for pm u, thanx for the help :)
[07:26] <srx2002> ok, thanks
[07:28] <koshari> yanchoABC you would prolly need 2 crons to acheive that but it wouldnt be hard, as long as they didnt clash, depending on the process
[07:28] <qwertyface> Hi, I
[07:28] <yanchoABC> koshari:  no the process is not long .. but i just dont want it to run every 15mins during office hours
[07:29] <oOarthurOo> I'm currently looking at three music players: quod libet, sonata, and gmpc. My needs are ipod/mtp device support, low resource usage, folder monitoring. Any thoughts on my top 3 candidates?
[07:29] <obf213> hey. have they fixed the ext mointor flashes once one you open up movie player yet?
[07:30] <yanchoABC> is it something like : * 0 * * * path/to/php file.php and */15 * * * * path/to/php file.php <-- but this will run at every 15mins no matter the time right koshari ?
[07:30] <jbu311> off topic: vlc is pretty good
[07:30] <jbu311> try switching
[07:30] <Nic> Hello, can someone help me get my floppy drive working please?
[07:30] <koshari> yanchoABC no at the 15 minute of every hour as i understand
[07:31] <qwertyface> I've just installed Intrepid on a friend's Acer Aspire One, but we've been having some problems with it.  Graphics are very jerky, e.g. in Youtube videos and playing extreme tux racer.  Also the wifi is very variable, ranging from 50% to 90% even though the AP is very near by.  Can anyone suggest anything we can try?  Otherwise we're going to have to go back to Linpus.
[07:32] <creol> okay i fixed my own problem via a post i found via google. Apparently the setting in playback "Use video as timebase" can cause tv playback to be fast. Thanks anyway... time to get back to Smallville
[07:32] <koshari> yanchoABC http://www.csgnetwork.com/crongen.html
[07:32] <Sharp_eyes__> koshri...
[07:32] <Sharp_eyes__> how can i register my nick
[07:33] <yanchoABC> koshari:  thanks for the link .. but it doesnt allow specifying different hour times :(
[07:33] <koshari> yanchoABC you can use commas
[07:35] <bernhard> hi
[07:35] <Frogzoo> sup?
[07:35] <koshari> yanchoABC ie 15,30,45 0 0 0 ect
[07:36] <yanchoABC> so are we saying : 1 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 * * * path/to/php file.php and 15,30,45,59 1,2,3,4,5,6,,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 * * * path/to/php file.php
[07:37] <yanchoABC> so first part runs every 1st minute of the hour during office hours (7 - 16) and 2nd command runs every 15 minutes the rest of hours
[07:37] <koshari> yanchoABC thata a bit messy , i would use 2 tabs/
[07:37] <oOarthurOo> qwertyface: As for the wifi, I've found that network manager is not as reliable as windows ever. Even when using lower level tools like iwlist scan it still reports lower values than windows from a similar distance.
[07:38] <yanchoABC> koshari: the and means a new crontab
[07:39] <koshari> yanchoABC: ok
[07:39] <qwertyface> oOarthurOo: It worked fine under Linpus.  I
[07:40] <yanchoABC> koshari: so it should be good like that right?
[07:40] <qwertyface> oOarthurOo: I'm going to have a hard time persuading him to stick with ubuntu if I can't make it work right
[07:40] <oOarthurOo> Sharp_eyes__:  "/msg nickserv register <your-password> <your-email>"
[07:41] <koshari> yanchoABC test it. if the syntax if wrong it will let you know, just use a line like, ls /home/mydir or something denign
[07:41] <koshari> benign
[07:41] <Sharp_eyes__> o0arthur0o it say ur password is not walid
[07:41] <Sharp_eyes__> valid
[07:41] <oOarthurOo> qwertyface: Not everyone needs to use Ubuntu. It has advantages and disadvantages like every other OS. I've used Debian and Ubuntu and have simply gotten used to misreported wifi strengths.
[07:41] <trevor> I'm having a problem getting my computer to start X.  I had to reset the BIOS in order to get rid of a password that I set, but couldn't remember, and now, X goes to start, and the screen just goes blank.
[07:41] <Mez> anyone know what the program that allows you to create logic graphs is called
[07:41] <srx2002> I'm practising some term commands ....having a small problem...I just did " man df " and scrolled doan at the bottom of the manual...but how do i get back to the prompt
[07:42] <jbu311> Mez, what kind of logic graph?
[07:42] <Ze_> Mez: logic graphs? maybe mindmaps?
[07:42] <powertool08> srx2002: press 'q'
[07:42] <Frogzoo> Mez: dia? open office? kivio?
[07:42] <srx2002> lol, duhhhh
[07:42] <srx2002> brain dead
[07:42] <yanchoABC> thanks for the support koshari :)
[07:42] <Mez> Well, It lets you say, plot the classes of a program, and draw lines between them etc
[07:42] <powertool08> :D
[07:42] <Frogzoo> Mez: umbrello possibly
[07:43] <Mez> ER diagrams :D
[07:43] <Mez> dia and umbrello sound familiar (I thought graphviz for starters!)
[07:43] <Frogzoo> umbrello is for UML modelling
[07:44] <qwertyface> oOarthurOo: Yeah, I'm a bit embarassed that Ubuntu hasn't worked as well as I said it would though.  I don't think the strength is misreported, the throughput is low as well.  It's strange, because there's lots of reports of successes with the Acer Aspire One.
[07:44] <Mez> Frogzoo: yeah, thats what I was thinking of
[07:45] <gusto5> [8.10/3945ABG] my wireless loses its connection (displays as connected), requires killing and restarting networkmanager. is there a fix?
[07:45] <Mez> actually, dia too ;) *chuckles* for slightly different things
[07:45] <Mez> thanks!

[07:54] <thedoc^> Hi,new user to ubuntu - reading articles on what I wish to do in the hours to come. Opinions needed : How would you break up a 30gb partition for dual boot intrepid and xp pro ? i plan on keeping it as NTFS. No major applications to be installed on either. Old (usb 1.1/typeIII cardbus era) IBM Thinkpad R31 p3 1Ghz 512mb ram. I'd like to have at least 10gb free on XP,not including the XP OS and MS office(only major app) - the remaining hop
[07:54] <droopsta915> bazhang: I installed it on my flash drive, and booted from usb, how do I save files in it?
[07:55] <bazhang> droopsta915, I have not used it yet; did you not see the option to make it usb-persistent? that will be live but also allow for changes made between sessions.
[07:56] <KukMan> plz, unban "zloy". He jokes)
[07:56] <jared> just wanted to say. Thanks for Ubuntu! It really has come a long way since i started using it in version 7.10  I have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop and it installed flawlessly no problems and is everything i hoped it would be!
[07:56] <droopsta915> I'm using it as we speak, it's cool. yes, i set it up persistent. ;)
[07:56] <Stupid_NicknaMe> hey guysd
[07:57] <jared> I'm really impressed.
[07:57] <Stupid_NicknaMe> i've tried running apt-get update, but i'm getting alot of errors and it bombs with "W: GPG error: http://ftp2.de.debian.org stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A70DAF536070D3A1 NO_PUBKEY B5D0C804ADB11277

[07:57] <Stupid_NicknaMe> tried cleaning the lists etc
[07:58] <jared> Stupid_NicknaMe, i donbt know much, but i think that has to do with improperly adding repositories to your sources. research to see if you missed anything for the repository that you added
[07:58] <thedoc^> just to add briefly to that, I have the old laptop in front of me now with the XP installation CD in and am at the part where setup is asking what how I want to split the 30gb's(28.6gb to be exact) - it was at this time that I thought, why not try ubuntu - so can I just shut down my laptop where it is now and when ready begin the ubuntu/xp dual boot process?
[07:59] <jared> i dont know why anyyone who swtiches to ubuntu would even run XP. you can now run virtually ANY XP program using wine within Ubuntu. the possibilities are endless. i love it

[08:01] <ActionParsnip> oh god rockwell
[08:01] <jared> i said virtually
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> thats going back
[08:01] <jared> but, i see the dependencies now
[08:01] <koshari> ActionParsnip going back rockwell 5000 is anly a few years old,
[08:02] <koshari> jared i use linux because i choose to , i use windows because i have to
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> koshari: wel had a rockwell 56k dialup modem ISA card. This is when Tiny were around still
[08:02] <jared> koshari, i understand
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> koshari: you dont have to anything :)
[08:02] <koshari> ActionParsnip rockwell 5000 is specific PLC controller programming software
[08:03] <bogesman> guys anyone have an idea why ubuntu wont play multicast stream like udp://239.20......
[08:03] <_coredump_> moinsen
[08:03] <koshari> ActionParsnip your correct, however if i dont ude windows i dont get paid and then i go hungary, the family goes hungary ect ect, and i like going hungary worse than using windows then :-(
[08:04] <jared> i use linux because. honestly? i love synaptic.
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> koshari: why is windows so needed
[08:04] <jared> wwell, thats not the only reason
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> jared: seriously?? jeez its ssoooo slooow
[08:04] <jared> lol
[08:04] <koshari> ActionParsnip because the beforementioned proprietry progiies only run on windows
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> koshari: wine not do it for you?
[08:05] <jared> i just love the idea of how Ubuntu protects your system with implicit use of root passwords.
[08:05] <jared> i mean
[08:05] <jared> i dont know how to esplain myself
[08:05] <jared> lol
[08:05] <droopsta915> Can I set up compiz fusion if I'm using ubuntu on my flash drive?
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> droopsta915: same as if it were installed on a hard drive
[08:06] <koshari> ActionParsnip i have tried to run directSOFT and wonderware on wine and it failed , shame really because it would have been nice for stability and saved customers some licence money at the same time
[08:07] <koshari> droopsta915 you possable may be able to but remember a live session is suppored to run on any hardware where you need specific 3d drivers installed for compiz
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> jared: I use it because I know all my system works out of the box with a small footprint, all updates update my drivers as well as my apps so its an all in 1 solution to me. Just easy life
[08:07] <Firbfs_> Anyone have experience with LTSP and broadband router?
[08:07] <koshari> ActionParsnip i agree however my job complicates things
[08:07] <jared> ActionParsnip,  i agree
[08:07] <dmb> what package is alsamixer in?
[08:07] <droopsta915> Actionparsnip: This is cool, I could show ubuntu to anyone with a computer now! Most people I talk to don't know what Linux is, this works great.
[08:08] <koshari> all the 4 PCs in our house have linux, i keep windows on the lappie for work
[08:08] <koshari> i also have a vm with 2k on it for a couple of specific tasks
[08:09] <droopsta915> koshari: same here, Linux at home, xp for work.
[08:09] <jared> the main thing i love about ubuntu is, the lack of spyware, lack of viruses infecting your system. The fact that everything is password protected.  I changed the ownership of /dev/fb0 to me. will this screw up everything?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> droopsta915: also if you plug into another pc, the hardware will probably not be identical to yours so your config may not work
[08:10] <Tyrath> as in I used chown
[08:10] <Tyrath> if this will have implications is there anyway I can undo it?
[08:10] <nme> jared: how about ur love when turn to intrepid?
[08:11] <Ze_> I need to play with bloody HAL to get a Serial touch screen working
[08:11] <jared> i run intrepid. am i not suppsoed to love it?
[08:11] <Tyrath> !chown
[08:11] <jared> nme i run intrepid. am i not suppsoed to love it?
[08:11] <droopsta915> Actionparsnip: You're saying if I save my settings, it won't work the same on another comp?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> nme: intrepid works great here :)
[08:11] <Tyrath> anyone?
[08:11] <Firbfs_> 8.10 has been working flawlessly for me
[08:11] <droopsta915> thanx for the info
[08:11] <jared> intrepid works flawlessly for me
[08:11] <nme> ActionParsnip: tried to use server edition?
[08:12] <Firbfs_> yeah
[08:12] <Firbfs_> run both
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> droopsta915: not 100% unless they have 100% identical hardware, what if you configure video for nvidia and they have an Ati VGA card?
[08:12]  * Tyrath wonders if anyone has used chown before
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> nme: no need to,ever
[08:12] <nme> did you seen what they did with openldap?
[08:12] <Firbfs_> nah
[08:12] <koshari> droopsta915 not if you change the persistance file, for example if you load nvidia 2d drivers to run compiz, then boot into a radeon graphics based PC.
[08:12] <nme> documentation is incomplete draft, with mistakes
[08:12] <Firbfs_> havnt really messed with it yet
[08:12] <rubydiamond> which is the best calendar tool on ubuntu
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> nme: i use a desktop as a samba server but otherwise I dont need the server kernel and afaict, few others need it too
[08:12] <rubydiamond> like apple calendar
[08:13] <nme> anyone of You completed SSO configuration with ldap, samba and kerberos?
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> nme: I have samba file shares
[08:14] <jared> i dunno. i just use my computer for, music, movies, research, chat, multimedia, cd/dvd burning, browsing web, email, etc.. ...  works great.
[08:14] <tapas> hi, i'm using fvwm.. kde apps look horrible
[08:14] <gluonman> I'm installing new theme engines using "./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation". After I've completed "make" and "sudo make install" is there anothe step? A website suggested installing a tar.gz file, but I have no idea where such a file would appear.
[08:14] <nme> ActionParsnip: it is possible to configure it by clicking only
[08:14] <tapas> in earlier times one could use kcontrol to control their appearance
[08:14] <jared> i installed KDE the other day.... i had to say no. went back to gnome
[08:14] <Tyrath> please someone help. Fiddling with the framebuffer will prob screw everything up :/
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> nme: no idea, i always edit smb.conf, way easier
[08:14] <tapas> but now i can't seem to find it
[08:14] <rubydiamond> like apple calendar
[08:14] <Firbfs_> I like gnome way better,  KDE looks better but is too slow
[08:14] <rubydiamond> which is the best calendar tool on ubuntu
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> tapas: try typing the command in konsole
[08:15] <mhd720> how do i get to "~/.cxoffice/" ?
[08:15] <tapas> ActionParsnip: that's what i did
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> rubydiamond: there is no "best"
[08:15] <tapas> tapas@peach:~$ kcontrol
[08:15] <tapas> bash: kcontrol: command not found
[08:15] <koshari> jared no offence but idle chat is generally more appropiately conducted at ubuntu-offtopic
[08:15] <tapas> E: Package kcontrol has no installation candidate
[08:15] <rubydiamond> ActionParsnip, anyone you suggest
[08:15] <jared> oh, i wasnt aware. i scanned the topic for an alternative room, i must have missed it
[08:15] <jared> thanks
[08:16] <Firbfs_> Has anyone had success with LTSP server?
[08:16] <tapas> and yes i do have kdebase-workspace-bin installed
[08:16] <mhd720> where in the file system is ~/.cxoffice/ ?
[08:16] <Tyrath> ActionParsnip: do you know much about the framebuffer?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> rubydiamond: there's sunbird by mozilla
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> rubydiamond: you need to ditch "best" in computing, there is no "best" anything. Its all completely individual
[08:17] <tapas> it seems there is no kcontrol in kde4?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> rubydiamond: its like "Whih is best, coke or pepsi?"
[08:17] <Firbfs_> pepsi, duh
[08:17] <Firbfs_> ;-)
[08:18] <rubydiamond> ActionParsnip, really true
[08:18] <jared> i have a question actaully.   If i wanted to monitor sensors like fan speed, temp, etc from my notebook, what would i install? where would i begin? lm-sensors?
[08:18] <hateball> !best | rubydiamond
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> rubydiamond: all we can say is try a few and see which gives the functionality you need
[08:18] <Emry> How does one set a PHP script to run setuid?
[08:18] <Tyrath> !chown
[08:18] <Tyrath> grrrr
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> jared: something super karamba shaped is good, i dont know what the gnome equiv is
[08:19] <rubydiamond> lol
[08:19]  * Tyrath wonders if he is on silent
[08:19] <jared> none the less, it should run on gnome... hopefully
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> jared: sure if you dont mind installing kdelibs, depends on your stance on bloat
[08:19] <koshari> mhd720 hidden in YOUR home dir ie, /home/yourusername/.cxoffice
[08:20] <jared> ah
[08:20] <jared> well
[08:20] <mhd720> thank you koshari :)
[08:20] <jared> thanks tho
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> jared: try it and see how much its gonna load your system with
[08:20] <koshari> mhd720 if using nautilus remember to uncheck hide hidden files to find it
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> jared: sudo apt-get install superkaramba
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> jared: see what it says
[08:21] <Firbfs_> I am waiting for good media center software to be released for linux
[08:21] <paul68> Do you get any notification when you launching your iptable script through the interfaces file during (re)booting process?
[08:21] <jared> ActionParsnip, a whole crap load
[08:21] <koshari> Firbfs oh whats wrong with mythtv
[08:21] <Firbfs_> GUI is ugly
[08:22] <koshari> Firbfs and XBMC is a nice lite one
[08:22] <jared> phonon too
[08:22] <mhd720> koshari, i don't see it yet, but i was never sure if it existed. thank you
[08:22] <koshari> Firbfs there are a lot of skins avail
[08:22] <Tyrath> does anyone know chown and if I happen to change the permissions in it, will that have adverse effects for the O/S if the file I change permissions for happens to be an important file (ie, the frame buffer)
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Firbfs_: xbmc not good enough for you?
[08:22] <Firbfs_> havnt messed with it in awhile, will have to experiment again
[08:23] <Dyresen> Tyrath: you don't use chown to set setuid.
[08:23] <Dyresen> you would use chmod
[08:23] <ris_ka> hi
[08:23] <Dyresen> setuid is a leading 4
[08:23] <koshari> mhd720 type in a term cd ~/.cxoffice and it will soon tell you if it exiasts
[08:23] <Tyrath> Dyresen: I've already used chown. if thisis bad what should I do?
[08:23] <Firbfs_> Does myth support h264?
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Firbfs_: http://xbmc.org/media/
[08:24] <Tyrath> Dyresen: btw chmod doesn't work for boot permissions (only within a session) so it's useless
[08:24] <Dyresen> eg chmod 4777 is giving you setuid and then read, write, execute for everyone
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> koshari: you could also use file instead of cd ;)
[08:24] <Firbfs_> ok, will check out xbmc
[08:24] <Tyrath> Dyresen: only want u+rwx
[08:24] <mhd720> koshari ah i see. not there :P i'm using crossover and trying to access the windows files directly.
[08:24] <Dyresen> Tyrath: then read the chmod manual.
[08:25] <Dyresen> 700 is u+rwx
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> crossover is too rich for my blood
[08:25] <Dyresen> chown is for changing ownerships and groups
[08:25] <Tyrath> Dyresen: the thing I'm worried about is I've already changed permissions of the framebuffer using chown. As such if this is bad is there anyway I can undo this in order that I can actually reboot in futur
[08:25] <Tyrath> Dyresen: thanks for the number btw
[08:25] <jared> ActionParsnip, looks like i need gdesklets with lm-sensors.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> jared: sounds like a plan
[08:26] <r2s> anyone knows to fix MF622... it seems not detecting in my freshly installed ubuntu 8.10
[08:26] <Tyrath> Dyresen: as such I've prob stuffed something up, no?
[08:26] <r2s> ZTE MF622
[08:26] <jared> ActionParsnip,  thanks for the insight tho
[08:26] <Dyresen> Tyrath: the chmod numbers goes like this. 4,2,1 and that is read,write,exectue so you just ad it up
[08:26] <Dyresen> Tyrath: Cant help you with framebuffer, I dont care about gui stuff.
[08:26] <Firbfs_> mythtv's website shows "MythXFace" theme, but it seems to be in another language
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> r2s: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-665332.html
[08:27] <Firbfs_> any idea if it comes in english?
[08:27] <Tyrath> Dyresen: framebuffer affects console too tho, no?
[08:27] <Dyresen> Tyrath: yes it does. But it's still just eye candy and not productive stuff.
[08:28] <Tyrath> Dyresen: as such, i typed in chown chris:admin /dev/fb0 - will this stuff up my ability to use the O/S?
[08:29] <paul68> Do you get any notification when you launching your iptable script through the interfaces file during (re)booting process?
[08:29] <Dyresen> Tyrath: I cant help you with framebuffer. But generally no, root still have access to everything.
[08:30] <Tyrath> Dyresen: what I'm trying to ask is, will I still be able to interface with the O/S even if I'm changed permissions for the framebuffer?
[08:30] <Dyresen> Tyrath: sure
[08:30] <akonkwa> i'm having problems with my resolution, I'm on Intrepid, i have just installed restricted nvidia drivers, and now my resolution is set to mximum 640x480 , when before i put the driver it was at 800x600(!), When I was on hardy it was on 1280x1024. I tried changing xorg.conf by adding ad "display" subsection with the correct resolution but it still won't work. Any help?
[08:31] <Tyrath> Dyresen: see cause I'm really scared that cause I changed the permissions for the framebuffer boot will be stuffed up
[08:31] <Dyresen> Tyrath: just try. Worst case is that you boot in recovery, drop to a root shell and the change the permissions back.
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: what gfx card do you have/
[08:31] <r2s> ActionParsnip: My problem is that in DMESG it is up to usb-storage ignored.. after that there's no movement or process in the MF622 ZTE
[08:31] <Tyrath> Dyresen: how do I do that? just incase I need to boot in recovery?
[08:32] <akonkwa> ActionParsnip: Geforce 5200
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> r2s: if you read the link it talks about it appearing as a drive
[08:32] <Dyresen> Tyrath: if you are using ubuntu, you can just pick recoverymode in the grub menue.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[08:32] <Tyrath> Dyresen: I don't seem to get a menu before the GUI
[08:33] <Dyresen> Tyrath: you have a boot loader inn there somewhere.
[08:33] <akonkwa> ActionParsnip : I have Nvidia X server settings in my gnome menu
[08:33] <r2s> ActionParsnip: It never appears as a drive.. just after turning the Light GREEN... no movement or anything else... no ZTE word in dmesg
[08:33] <Tyrath> Dyresen: I've got no idea how to access that
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: run that and change settings
[08:34] <akonkwa> ActionParsnip : I can only go up to 640x480 in that menu (!)
[08:34] <jdackle> Hi everyone! May I ask question about xchat-gnome trayicon plugin?
[08:34] <Tyrath> Dyresen: I just don't want to have to reinstall the O/S again
[08:35] <Tyrath> Dyresen: ubuntu is the only O/S I have on this machine
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: then you'll need to install the nvidia package for your geforce
[08:35] <Tyrath> Dyresen: meaning all my stuff will vanish if I stuff it up
[08:35] <Dyresen> Tyrath: well, as a last resort you can boot with a cd, mount the disk and then change permissions.
[08:35] <akonkwa> ActionParsnip : Do you know where I can find it ?
[08:36] <Dyresen> Tyrath: but if you are that scared, why are you messing with unproductive stuff on your system?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: you need to find which drver in intrepid suits your card and install it
[08:36] <Tyrath> Dyresen: because I can't use ubuntu effectively in console mode because I get Access Denied messages
[08:37] <Tyrath> Dyresen: i'm tryng to get around this
[08:37] <akonkwa> ActionParsnip: Could you be more specific (where do I find the driver? Synaptic?)
[08:37] <Tyrath> Dyresen: I'm the only user of this machine so I shouldn't be getting access denied messages
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-8.10-nvidia
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> akonkwa: i just web searched that

[08:39] <Tyrath> Dyresen: more specifically I was getting access denied messages on the framebuffer, hence why I'm in this predicament
[08:39] <goldmetal> it's two different link
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> goldmetal: you may also want to check out tinyurl to make them smalled so you dont irritate people
[08:39] <akonkwa> ActionParsnip : thanx, i'll try it out
[08:39] <Tyrath> Dyresen: while the O/S is fired up changing permissions doesn't seem to be a problem
[08:39] <statim> does anyone know what this line in my ps auxww output means/does? : /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg
[08:39] <Tyrath> Dyresen: it's just after I reboot, whether grub will recognise specific filetypes or it will get access denied and thus not load up the framebuffer
[08:39] <goldmetal> it's off topic. need usb sound card support
[08:40] <Tyrath> Dyresen: also another thing. If I use a bootdisk, won't that wipe the O/S?
[08:41] <goldmetal> ActionParsnip, what is tinyurl?
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> goldmetal: in future can you please use tinyurl, you can see the size of the links you pasted and how they scoll like mad
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> goldmetal: websearch it, you'll see

[08:43] <r0land> hi all
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> hi r0land
[08:43] <r0land> could anyone help me out with a bandwidth limiter if possible!
[08:43] <KenSentMe> I've got a video-dvd iso. How can i add files to that disc and make sure other osses (windows) can read the files and the video on the disc?
[08:43] <koshari> is tinyurl a proxy?
[08:43] <r0land> the thing is , i have a SIP account on my pc, i want it to take 90 % of my connect, and the other 10 % for everything else... any advice ?
[08:43] <goldmetal> ActionParsnip, i see
[08:44] <r0land> i've tried trickle, but it doesnt do the trick.. it simply limit the bandwidth on all the interface.. and not by destination/source/application
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> koshari: no, it just makes a url smaller, they host the link for a shortspace of time and create an alias, so if the url of a page is massive (like stupid ebay or googlemaps) you can make it smaller. Its also good for hiding urls of links for email purposes
[08:45] <Tyrath> well thanks for what help I did get
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> goldmetal: use lsusb / lspci to show the hardware attatched to your system and websearch from there
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Tyrath: try a bit later
[08:46] <Tyrath> going to reboot now... wish me luck
[08:46] <Tyrath> hopefully nothing stops working
[08:46] <r0land> ActionParsnip any advice ?
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> gl
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> r0land: not sure, you could do it on your router if it supports it. Ive nver had to do it myself
[08:47] <r0land> ActionParsnip i've allready done that, but as i said i just want to limit certain application and allow another.. for example in windows i've always used Netlimiter..

[08:52] <\Kira> when I run world of warcraft using wine, the ground look really funny. Any suggestions?
[08:52] <r2s> ActionParsnip: coz even in liveCD my ZTE MF622 device is not detected well..
[08:52] <Tyrath> just popped in to confirm chown didn't screw up the framebutton by changing permissions
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> r2s: then you'll need to install some form of drivers or set it up with a script
[08:52] <Tyrath> so all is well
[08:53] <Tyrath> thanks for the help anyhow
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Tyrath: cool

[08:55] <r2s> ActionParsnip: it's not working.. been using that udev rules with usb_modeswitch before.. but now in ubuntu 8.10 it's not working
[08:55] <damien> !xdccfind smallville s08

[08:57] <darkdeepeer> r2s, what tipe of modem
[08:59] <r2s> darkdeepeer:  its MF622
[08:59] <r2s> It should at least detect the device as a CD-ROM
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> r2s: theres a driver file in that post for you to compile with good instructions
[08:59] <r2s> but now its just up to this log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75133/
[09:00] <r2s> ActionParsnip: already did that
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> r2s: did you check the link I just gave you
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> thats the fix, compile that
[09:01] <julian_> hi i need a serial communication terminal which can send things i type in. i tried  GtkTerminal but it only provides raw file sending this is for calibrating an microcrontroller very bad if there are sometimes answer on which depends the next send. can anyone suggest me a good terminal with a good sending abillity?
[09:01] <r2s> ActionParsnip:  yes

[09:02] <atax> Hi all, why is it when activating the "Flip Switcher" (WIN + TAB) in Ubuntu,  that some programs show their content, other just show a big icon?
[09:03] <fosco_> atax: minimized windows show an icon
[09:03] <r2s> ActionParsnip: I think the problem is in the kernel or something
[09:03] <r2s> even in lsusb is just shown as  device vendor=19d2  product=2000
[09:05] <atax> fosco_, Thanks, now I get it :) I was figuring on some sort of bug in compiz, ... but that explains it, thx!
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> r2s: then websearch that, make sure you have the latest kernel
[09:06] <marko-_-> how do i remove a package from ubuntu so that it removes all his config files ?

[09:09] <thedoc^> just to add briefly to that, I have the old laptop in front of me now with the XP installation CD in and am at the part where setup is asking what how I want to split the 30gb's(28.6gb to be exact) - it was at this time that I thought, why not try ubuntu - so can I just shut down my laptop where it is now and when ready begin the ubuntu/xp dual boot process?
[09:10] <thedoc^> any help would be appreciated thanks again!

[09:47] <PUNISHER> coenieolivier: But I did not help you?!
[09:47] <BanG> Its the chat Kopete I would like to run it
[09:47] <Pilot_51> It doesn't let me switch it back with hdparm
[09:47] <thedoc^> just to add briefly to that, I have the old laptop in front of me now with the XP installation CD in and am at the part where setup is asking what how I want to split the 30gb's(28.6gb to be exact) - it was at this time that I thought, why not try ubuntu - so can I just shut down my laptop where it is now and when ready begin the ubuntu/xp dual boot process?

[09:48] <jgb> I'm trying to install the MSTT core fonts while not connected to the internet.  I have the exe's, but running them with cxoffice installs AriBlk.TTF  instead of arial32b.ttf, and cxoffice then tries to connect to the internet when I install apps that require the fonts.  How do I fix this?
[09:48] <koshari> jgb afaik the msttfonts is an installer,
[09:49] <BanG> ?
[09:49] <Flannel> jgb: Just install the package
[09:49] <thedoc^> koshari , thanks - i can keep the 10gb shared now as ntfs right instead of fat32?
[09:49] <Pilot_51> Timing cached reads:   238 MB in  2.01 seconds = 118.55 MB/sec
[09:49] <Pilot_51> Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  3.61 seconds =   2.77 MB/sec
[09:49] <Nyquist333> Pilot_51: I have really slow SATA read speeds. 70MB/s. I've been trying to figure this out. I don't know if it's releated to the new kernel in ubuntu. I wonder if we have a similar issue.
[09:49] <Flannel> jgb: mstcorefonts is in multiverse, the package will do all the magic for you
[09:49] <jgb> Flannel: ah, thx
[09:49] <koshari> BanG if you have kapote installed and wanna run it just type the file name in a terminal
[09:50] <thedoc^> Flannel - thanks for those articles, i saw some similar - but will read this too - my main concern was splitting up 30gb to xp/8.10
[09:50] <BanG> I do not have it installed as I do not know how to unpack the file
[09:50] <Flannel> thedoc^: You can always use wubi if you're unsure about repartitioning
[09:50] <koshari> thedoc^ you sure can linux supports ntfs quite well now
[09:50] <Pilot_51> I have PATA and it's identified as sda in Intrepid
[09:50] <koshari> thedoc the real trick is getting grub sorted,
[09:51] <Nyquist333> Wow. Ok, I won't complain anymore. That has to suck. There is a switch NO_IDE or something that might help. Have you tried that?
[09:51] <koshari> Pilot_51 is that a problem?
[09:51] <thedoc^> Flannel - i have at the moment an old ibm thinkpad that i just wiped, and am at the xp partition selector setup section - just decided that i want to try ubuntu on this -so it's a fresh from scratch install
[09:51] <Flannel> Pilot_51: thats normal
[09:51] <Nyquist333> No, I think Pilot_51
[09:51] <Nyquist333> problem is the
[09:51] <Pilot_51> From the looks of it, it's supposed to be that way with recent kernels, but it still seems to cause trouble with hdparm
[09:51] <Nyquist333> < 3MB/s
[09:51] <koshari> thedoc^ its generally easier to install winblow first,
[09:52] <dNetFox> any body know how can i make a irc channel?
[09:52] <Flannel> thedoc^: Well, 30G certainly isn't a whole lot.  What are you wondering about specifically?
[09:52] <jgb> Flannel: mstcorefonts in multiverse is just a meta package, which downloads the exe's just like cxoffice, albeit from the SF servers...
[09:53] <Flannel> jgb: Correct.  But it runs it successfully (as far as Ive found).
[09:53] <Pilot_51> Basically I just want to know why it switches to udma2 after writing and how to prevent it from doing that
[09:53] <NET||abuse> hi guys, i'm on intrepid on one machine and hardy on another, the intrepid version is able to connect to our network printer, Dell MFP 3115cn using an automatically provided driver from the repo's it seems, i setup by going to system->admin->printing. hardy is not finding the driver for me , seems it's not available,, how can i get the driver file for the driver that intrepid uses and use it on hardy?
[09:53] <thedoc^> koshari - right, what i did want to do is have xp then shared space then ubuntu - // Flannel - that's how much hdd space was in this secondary laptop i had - no major apps to install really - only office for xp. and the remainder for the two OS's and space to use to transfer files via my desktop network
[09:54] <BanG> ?
[09:54] <paul68> can someone help me with the following I try to run through the network interface these commands pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules but when I reboot nothing happens how do I solve this
[09:54] <jgb> Flannel: cxoffice also runs correctly, IF you are connected to the internet.  I am trying to set cxoffice up on a PC that won't have internet connectivity
[09:54] <thedoc^> can i not continue with the xp partition setup? i alread have 30gb to allocate - i was going to follow one of the more recent articles on setting up the dual boot os
[09:55] <Flannel> thedoc^: You can definately do that.  Ubuntu only takes a few gigs (2?) to install, and will live happily in around 10 or so (giving you some space for your own stuff)
[09:55] <Nyquist333> Pilot_51: Can you run hdparm before it switches? Are the reads faster?
[09:55] <Flannel> thedoc^: The easiest way to dual boot is to install windows, then install linux.
[09:55] <Flannel> thedoc^: so, go ahead and continue with XP, and go ahead and make that partition your final size, with freespace around it.  That'll be the most straight forward way.
[09:55] <Pilot_51> This is what it is before it screws up:
[09:56] <Pilot_51> Timing cached reads:   448 MB in  2.01 seconds = 223.26 MB/sec
[09:56] <Pilot_51> Timing buffered disk reads:  170 MB in  3.03 seconds =  56.03 MB/sec
[09:57] <Pilot_51> With hdparm -I before and after, the only thing that changes is the udma setting
[09:57] <dNetFox> Flannel: do u know how can i create a irc channel?
[09:58] <thedoc^> so cool Flannel - i have the laptop in front of me - so it says, max size for partition is 28608MB / i'll just create a partition size of 10GB first?
[09:58] <coenieolivier> my bad... lol
[09:58] <coenieolivier> thanx to whomever pointed me to some sources of help - much appreciated
[09:59] <Flannel> thedoc^: yeah

[10:00] <thedoc^> Flannel - done , i have 18,612mb left as unpartitioned space - shall i leave it unpartitioned and for later when setting up ubuntu?
[10:00] <Flannel> thedoc^: yep
[10:00] <zdys> where should i send the report to ?
[10:00] <thedoc^> and continue the install to the highlighted 10gb - cool, this doesn't sound SO bad yet :)
[10:01] <mabus> any idea how I can find what the processes in an uninterruptable sleep staet on a given host are?
[10:01] <zdys> http://paste.ubuntu.com/75149/
[10:02] <thedoc^> thanks to y'all so far for the guidance -
[10:03] <Nyquist333> Pilot_51: Well, I'm lost. Sorry. The only thing I can think of is, you might have had some read errors, so the system slowed down the acces. There is a command 'smartctl' that will check for a failing drive.
[10:03] <paul68> can someone help me with the following I try to run through the network interface these commands pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules but when I reboot nothing happens how do I solve this
[10:06] <Pilot_51> There was a file that failed to copy when I tested and it slowed down about the same time, that might have something to do with it
[10:07] <thedoc^> Flannel - will the unpartitioned space be formated when running and setting up the ubuntu live cd? i'm about to do a normal NTFS format of the 10gb i allocated to xp - continue with the install to xp, update drivers/security for laptop and xp and in the meanwhile download and burn the live cd and follow the faq link you had directed to me -
[10:07] <Pilot_51> But a single file failing to copy shouldn't cause the OS to back down on the DMA mode without any notification
[10:08] <thedoc^> and run a defrag before the live cd install too
[10:08] <zaaaa> aiiiiiiiiiiii.....
[10:08] <Nyquist333> There was also something called fstune, it might not be used anymore. I'm new to linux, but I've come across a lot of outdated stuff. You can also run fsck.
[10:08] <ikonia> zaaaa: stop please.
[10:08] <Nyquist333> Well, maybe there was a log.
[10:10] <Flannel> thedoc^: Yes, when you get to the Ubuntu CD, you'll have a similar screen asking you what to partition, etc.
[10:11] <Flannel> thedoc^: You don't have to defrag actually, since you won't be touching that partition.
[10:12] <thedoc^> alright Flannel :) but defragging won't be necessary on a freshly created partition xp install?
[10:12] <jin> any program to rip audio and convert to mp3 on Ubuntu?
[10:12] <thedoc^> since perhaps it's being formatted when creating the partition -
[10:12] <Flannel> thedoc^: won't be necessary because it'll be fresh, btu also, won't be necessary even if it werent, since you're not resizing that partition, only putting stuff on the unallocated spcae
[10:13] <thedoc^> okay sounds good so far :)
[10:14] <jaycee1> Hi everyone. Does any body know a way to install vlc without internet connection.Maybe a complete deb file with all dependencies and all? My friend needs it.
[10:15] <mabus> jaycee1: completely remove the package, clear your apt-cache, reinstall the package, and give him the contents of the directory apt-get downloads too (unsure)
