[18:36] <darkweasel> no
[18:37] <MoTec> SliM1: I don't use copiz becaue my hardware is weak - that's why i'm using xfce in the first place.
[18:37] <darkweasel> http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html
[18:37] <darkweasel> :p
[18:37] <deany> I dont see hardly any difference in speed/mem usage with xubuntu/ubuntu.. i noticed it using gnome libs too..
[18:37] <mattbd> wcdl: Metacity is the window manager, so that controls the outsides of the application such as the minimise and exit widgets and the outside
[18:38] <mattbd> wcdl: Or you could use Compiz and install the Emerald theme manager so you could use Emerald themes, which are a lot nicer than Metacity ones
[18:38] <SliM1> MoTec: why not openbox? :>
[18:38] <MoTec> SliM1: because there is no oubuntu :)
[18:38] <SliM1> there is
[18:39] <mattbd> SliM1: There's CrunchBang Linux, that uses OpenBox, and is very good
[18:39] <quibbler> darkweasel: is open source only getting that now...windows has had it for ages
[18:39] <SliM1> MoTec: i think i've read about it in the wiki
[18:40] <SliM1> mattbd: well, openbox is not for me
[18:40] <darkweasel> yeah, when it comes to viruses open source is years behind windows, really!
[18:40] <MoTec> SliM1: yeah, just found a forum post on how to install it, starting from ubuntu-server
[18:40] <IntuitiveNipple> darkweasel: A great way of phrasing it, that :D
[18:41] <alltax> xfig gives me this when trying to export fig2dev: can't open file: /usr/share/xfig/fig2dev/sv_SE.UTF-8.ps :(
[18:41] <SliM1> MoTec: that's bad, ubuntu server has a different kernel, i tried it starting with the ubuntu minimal cd
[18:41] <lordnoid> hi, I added windows xp to my grub config file but when I try to boot it nothing happens.. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/115729/
[18:41] <darkweasel> ubuntu server has a different kernel? seems new to me
[18:42] <mattbd> darkweasel: Yes, they have a kernel customised for servers installed by default in Ubuntu Server, if you install a desktop like ubuntu-desktop it can mess it up because it will pull in the kernel for Ubuntu Desktop
[18:43] <darkweasel> ah, ok - learning something new every day
[18:43] <blip-> hi all,  I need to remove sudo abilities for a user, how can I do that ?  is it the same as removing root abilities ?
[18:43] <Artelus> Hello
[18:43] <Flannel> blip-: Just remove them from the admin group
[18:43] <mattbd> blip-: Run visudo and remove them from the list of sudoers
[18:43] <IntuitiveNipple> darkweasel: server kernel has a slower clock (desktop has 250Hz, server 100Hz), PAE support on 32-bit, and several other differences
[18:44] <Flannel> mattbd: Thats not the correct method (nor will it work)
[18:44] <darkweasel> hm. ok.
[18:44] <SliM1> will kubuntu-desktop give me kde 4? (hardy)
[18:44] <mattbd> Flannel: I just tried it as "sudo visudo" and it worked
[18:44] <_VIM_> SliM1: yes
[18:44] <darkweasel> SliM1, not on hardy
[18:44] <fearful> SliM1: Yes it will
[18:44] <_VIM_> yes it will
[18:45] <darkweasel> really?
[18:45] <Flannel> mattbd: The users aren't listed in sudoers, so you can't remove them from it.
[18:45] <Artelus> I heard there was a way to install Ubuntu inside windows, is this a good idea?
[18:45] <mattbd> Flannel: Oh, yes, you're right. Ooops!
[18:45] <darkweasel> actually i thought on hardy it's called kubuntu-desktop-kde4 or something
[18:45] <fearful> Artelus: Depends on your usage of Ubuntu
[18:45] <_VIM_> Artelus: you mean wubi?
[18:45] <maxagaz> the fan of my ATI 9600 never stop to turn, how to stop it ?
[18:45] <Artelus> Well, from the Live CD
[18:45] <step21> Artelus: depends on what you want to use it for
[18:45] <quibbler> !wubi | Artelus
[18:45] <Artelus> there's an option to install/uninstall inside windows.
[18:45] <fearful> Artelus: If you want it just to mess around with it then yea
[18:45] <_VIM_> darkweasel: no
[18:46] <Artelus> I don't want to risk partitioning my drive to dual-boot Ubuntu, and I also don't want to run it from USB
[18:46] <mattbd> Artelus: Virtualbox is a good way to try it too
[18:46] <fearful> Artelus: If you want to work with the system, than I suggest you dualboot using grub.
[18:46] <darkweasel> then wubi is a good idea
[18:46] <fearful> Artelus: Than, yea wubi
[18:46] <Artelus> But I want to use ubuntu for like...browsing and stuff.
[18:46]  * nickrud votes for virtualbox over wubi any day
[18:46] <mattbd> Flannel: Sorry, I've only ever amended /etc/sudoers in other distros
[18:46] <step21> wubi will be faster thehn virtual box and use real hardware
[18:46] <fearful> Artelus: Wubi will install it using the Windows loader
[18:46]  * _VIM_ adds his vote for Vbox too
[18:46] <Artelus> I heard there is a bit of a performance decrese, does that mean ubuntu with wubi is slower than if I installed it on it's own, or is it just the hard drive?
[18:46] <fiftyone> Does anyone suggest I should try out KDE? I never really used KDE before I always been Gnome, What do you guys think>? Which is better / why?
[18:47] <quibbler> Artelus: yes
[18:47] <step21> Artelus: just harddrive
[18:47] <maxagaz> is there a command to stop the fan of my ATI 9600 gaphic card ?
[18:47] <fiftyone> I did try fluxbox but i could never figure it out and always screwed it up within minutes
[18:47] <fearful> Artelus: Yes but, if you want it to browse and stuff than its ok.
[18:47] <mattbd> Artelus: Wubi is slower because it's running on a Windows filesystem and not a native Linux one
[18:47] <nickrud> Artelus, if you are scrupulous about defragging before and after the install, it'll run about as fast as it can
[18:47] <mattbd> fiftone: I like IceWM
[18:47] <darkweasel> fiftyone, personally i prefer gnome - but just try it and see for yourself if you like it ;)
[18:47] <Artelus> Ah, so Ubuntu's speed is not decreased, just my hard drive while using wubi?
[18:47] <mattbd> Artelus: No
[18:48] <Artelus> Because I want to install Ubuntu to use as a full operating system, but I don't want to partition or anything...
[18:48] <darkweasel> well it can suffer from ntfs defragmentation, from what i've heard
[18:48] <fiftyone> darkewasel I think KDE is more windows es>? no? I mean what are the main differences>?
[18:48] <mattbd> Artelus. Windows uses the NTFS filesystem, Ubuntu uses ext3
[18:48] <G-Bleezy> Hey I got this problem booting and was wondering if someone coudl help me?
[18:48] <fearful> Artelus: Native linux uses ext3, while in Windows its either fat32 or ntfs. It'll be slower because of that
[18:48] <joanki124> is there anyway i can see the last time a user logged into my computer?  i think i've been hacked
[18:48] <darkweasel> G-Bleezy, please specify what your problem is
[18:48] <satchafunkilus> About one and a half years ago I stumbled upon a Linux game, still Beta at that time. But I can't remember it's name. You could draw let's say two circles, make them spin, put a box on them and there you made a car. There wasn't a deb for a game, you just extract it an play. I hope that someone can tell me the name of this game! ;)
[18:48] <G-Bleezy> when i boot it says:   Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0)
[18:48] <Artelus> alright...
[18:48] <G-Bleezy> anyone know how i could fix that?
[18:48] <Artelus> well, what's the risk of repartitioning my hard drive?
[18:48] <step21> i think he got that. but all drivers etc will work normally
[18:49] <jonah> my machine still will not play downloaded limewire songs :( but i like ubuntu and i wish it would work!
[18:49] <fearful> Artelus: If you want it just for browsing and playing around with it I suggest installing with wubi.
[18:49] <Artelus> I can partition my C drive to make it small, and give about  20GB to ubuntu, but will it mess anything up?
[18:49] <darkweasel> jonah, what format are they in?
[18:49] <fiftyone> satchafunkilus i know exactly what your talking about.
[18:49] <fiftyone> I played it too
[18:49] <mattbd> Artelus: How powerful is your machine? Virtualbox might be a better choice
[18:49] <fearful> Artelus: There is not a real risk if you can do it correctly. Read up on how to partition drives, theres many walk through
[18:49] <joanki124> can someone please helop me?
[18:49] <Artelus> It's not so good.
[18:49] <Flannel> mattbd: No worries
[18:49] <Artelus> 384MB ram, 3.1Ghz processor
[18:49] <fiftyone> i cant remember the name but 1 sec ii will look
[18:49] <jonah> mp3. lol. i installed the gstreamer mp3 plugin. no dice
[18:49] <Artelus> graphic card is average
[18:49] <step21> Artelus: i'd  just use wubi for now ... you can see if drivers etc work w/o risk
[18:49] <fearful> Artelus: I would go with Xubuntu then
[18:49] <Artelus> alright
[18:50] <mattbd> Artelus: OK, Virtualbox is definitely out
[18:50] <Artelus> Does Xubuntu work with wubi?
[18:50] <_VIM_> O.o all that processor and hardly no ram?
[18:50] <darkweasel> yes Artelus
[18:50] <_VIM_> ram is cheap!
[18:50] <fearful> lol
[18:50] <mattbd> Artelus: Wubi comes on Xubuntu and Kubuntu as well
[18:50] <darkweasel> joanki124, if nobody knows, nobody will answer - maybe the forums or mailing lists are a better place if you don't get an answer here
[18:50] <satchafunkilus> fiftyone: please send me a private msg, i'll be back in 5-10 min
[18:51] <jonah> when i try to play it i get the error mpeg audio header not found
[18:52] <jonah> on all the mp3's
[18:52] <matrix> hi all i have a file movie its .avi iam using deved to maake dvd, then it looks it will be an iso file, how do i burn it then to be a dvd disc so ican play it on my dvd player do i burn it as iso on gnome
[18:52] <fearful> matrix: Use basero to burn it
[18:52] <fearful> Brasero*
[18:53] <etech> are there  more start menus for gnome?
[18:53] <Mood> How do I make Ubuntu auto connect on wifi?
[18:53] <Mood> Everytime my wifi disconnects, I get a dialog that I have to manually connect to
[18:53] <Mood> I want to auto connect to my network
[18:54] <matrix> fearful:where is brasero
[18:54] <maxagaz> Intrepid doesn't suggest me to install proprietary drivers for my ATI 9600, why ?
[18:54] <matrix> ok i found it
[18:54] <fiftyone> how do you automount a drive? I have an 80gb and a 30gb partition i would like to auto-mount any ideas how>
[18:54] <diggid> mount--auto
[18:54] <energY> fiftyone: sudo apt-get install just-google-it
[18:55] <darkweasel> i think you have to edit something in /etc/fstab - but i don't know what exactly
[18:55] <matrix> fearful:iam in brasero what to choose there there are 4 options
[18:55] <IntuitiveNipple> fiftyone: If they are on a fixed disk you'll need to add entries to /etc/fstab describing them, and a directory to mount them on (usually in /media/ or /mnt/)
[18:56] <IntuitiveNipple> fiftyone: If they are removable devices (hot plug or USB) then gnome-mount should detect and mount them when connected, unless that option is turned off
[18:56] <fiftyone> IntuitiveNipple, thanks alot man i appriciate it
[18:56] <Peteed> in python after you use a file, does it close it down stright after?
[18:56] <scientes> anyone want to help me rebuild a specific kernel module from the intrepid tree?
[18:56] <matrix> fearful:iam in brasero what to choose there there are 4 options
[18:56] <darkweasel> matrix, i'd suggest "video project"
[18:56] <darkweasel> or whatever that's called in the english version
[18:56] <darkweasel> i only got the german version here and i'm translating that myself :p
[18:56] <Xenos> Man! That was horrible. Everything suddenly zoomed in a*lot* and I found no way to exit that. had to logout :-/
[18:56] <Artelus> Hey
[18:56] <[biabia]> I removed the kde/kubuntu desktop and it still shows the splash screen for kubuntu on startup. where are those stored? or how can i get it to stop showing the kubuntu splash
[18:57] <Artelus> what's the best way to shrink the windows partition and create a new partition?
[18:57] <matrix> i have datproject,burnimage,soundproject,cdcopy
[18:57] <_VIM_> Xenos: ive done that more than ill admit :)
[18:57] <skate2> are there any amazing windows applications that dont work at all in ubuntu or have a decent counterpart
[18:57] <darkweasel> [biabia], install startup-manager, it allows you to choose the splash screen
[18:57] <_VIM_> they SERIOUSLY need to fix that zoom
[18:57] <Xenos> _VIM_: What is it?  I have a mobo from an hp pc and i cant find out online if it is compatible with core 2 duo but it is socket 775.  What would happen if i put my c2d cpu on it and it wasnt compatible? Would anything be damaged or would it be safe to try? Thanks
[18:58] <juggalorebor> have you tried google?
[18:58] <Artelus> What's the safest way to shrink the windows partition and make another one for linux?
[18:59] <wbagam> partitionmagic or any partition manager will work
[18:59] <[biabia]> i personally boot ubuntu live and use gparted
[18:59] <juggalorebor> i personally use Gparted
[18:59] <juggalorebor> its free
[18:59] <Artelus> Will it be safe to use?
[19:00] <juggalorebor> never let me down
[19:00] <darkweasel> if you pay attention to what you do, yes
[19:00] <IntuitiveNipple> Artelus: If the NTFS partition has Vista in it, Windows disk-management allows you to shrink the file-system inside a partition whilst it is running. Then the partition can be shrunk to fit that from gparted or similar
[19:00] <[biabia]> safe is a relative term when partitioning. it will do what you tell it
[19:00] <GreenHorn> LIRC=headache :(
[19:00] <Artelus> I have Vista in it
[19:00] <Artelus> Well, what could go wrong?
[19:00] <blip-> hi, i have ssh access to an ubuntu machine with sudo superpowers.   I need to remove admin privs from a user,  I ran "sudo visudo" which opened up a file... but that file doesn't contain that user's name... where is he defined as admin ?
[19:00] <quibbler> Artelus: and defrag it first
[19:00] <Artelus> I just did :)
[19:01] <IntuitiveNipple> Artelus: Use Windows disk management then... in disk management select the file-system and right-click... there is an option to resize
[19:01] <klasikahl> blip-: the user can sudo because they're in the admin (or wheel) group
[19:01] <Artelus> What can go wrong? any warnings i should know about?
[19:01] <klasikahl> blip-: sounds like your sudo powers are defined by group
[19:01] <[biabia]> Artelus: if you tell it to do the wrong thing, thinking its what you wanted
[19:01]  * juggalorebor invokes rule 34 on his Video Driver
[19:01] <joanki125> anyone know a cmd i can type into terminal to get everyone that has recently logged into my machine - every single user?
[19:01] <Artelus> Like what?
[19:01] <klasikahl> blip-: `man usermod` to see how to remove him from the group
[19:01] <klasikahl> joanki125: recently or currently?
[19:01] <quibbler> Artelus: it is always good to back things up
[19:02] <joanki125> recently
[19:02] <joanki125> and also to see what users there are on my system?
[19:02] <Artelus> I can't really back up 70GB of data... =p
[19:02] <_VIM_> joanki125: again the user logs should tell you that, or did you have no luck with logs yesterday?
[19:02] <_VIM_> joanki125: the who command
[19:02] <klasikahl> joanki125: `who`
[19:02] <joanki125> no _VIM_
[19:02] <klasikahl> joanki125: for currently logged in
[19:03] <_VIM_> ah well for now try 'who'
[19:03] <joanki125> klasikahl: for previously logged in?
[19:03] <klasikahl> joanki125: /var/log/auth.log is the log of authenticated sessions
[19:03] <joanki125> thanks klas
[19:03] <Artelus> I don't see an option to resize....I'm using XP home edition
[19:03] <Royall> Every time I open the file selection window with buttons like "Browse" in applications or on websites, the window comes up tiny, and I have to drag the corner to make it normal size. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[19:03] <klasikahl> joanki125: take a look at /var/log/auth.log.. whatever editor you prefer, or `less`
[19:04] <juggalorebor> I currently run Ubuntu in my Virtual box, if i wanted to put it on my hard drive, will grub automatically change my mbr so i have options for both at startup?
[19:04] <joanki125> klasikahl: so that helped, but it only goes back to february 4
[19:04] <joanki125> is there a farther back log?
[19:04] <joanki125> thanks by the way
[19:04] <klasikahl> joanki125: yes
[19:04] <klasikahl> joanki125: logrotate compresses your logs and puts them in archive mode
[19:04] <klasikahl> joanki125: ls /var/log/auth.log*
[19:05] <klasikahl> joanki125: to read the ones with .gz extension, do `gunzip <log>`
[19:05] <klasikahl> joanki125: then use your viewer
[19:05] <JamesA_> !ssl
[19:05] <nickrud> joanki125, or zless /var/log/authlog*
[19:05] <joanki125> i'm concerned because i found this on mjy system under history: http://pastebin.com/d720a59e2
[19:06] <Xenos> _VIM_: It's windows button+mouse scrollwheel :-/
[19:06] <alltax> any one know how I can get Xfig to support latin-1?
[19:06] <_VIM_> Xenos: sweet i'll write that one down, most annoying wasnt it? LOL, thank you :)
[19:07] <Xenos> _VIM_: Yup, it was :-P
[19:07] <garrett__> hey guys, i am in need of some help
[19:07] <garrett__> plz
[19:07] <quibbler> garrett__: shoot
[19:08] <fearful> garrett_: Ask away
[19:08] <_VIM_> Xenos: the windows key is the Super key in linux donno if you knew that or not :)
[19:09] <garrett__> thanks man, umm is there a guide for installing the newest kernel (2.6.29 i think) or could you give me the gist of compiling and installing it in a few steps?
[19:09] <klasikahl> garrett__: you know, 2.6.29 is a devel version.  not meant for everyday use
[19:09] <stefg> !kernel | garrett__
[19:09] <klasikahl> garrett__: odd version  numbers mean testing
[19:10] <Xenos> _VIM_: In certain portions of Ubuntuspeak, I guess. It's got a Windows logo on my computer though, so calling it the "Windows button" makes a bit more sense IMO :-P
[19:11] <sheena1> hey all. where can i find my "profile folder" for firefox in ubuntu 8.10?
[19:11] <Dr_willis> Ive seen keyboards with little "Tux Penguins" instead of the windows logo.
[19:11] <darkweasel> go to your home folder sheena1
[19:11] <garrett__> yes, i do understand that it isn't release ready, but I have a few issues with hardware that may be addressed(from what i read) and I just wanted to try it
[19:11] <darkweasel> and press ctrl-h
[19:11] <Dr_willis> sheena1,  its in .mozilla/ somewhere. :)
[19:11] <MoTec> Dr_willis: I think it's under ~/.mozilla
[19:11] <darkweasel> then there's a folder .mozilla
[19:11] <klasikahl> garrett__: interesting... 2.6.28 didn't give you the fixes you needed?
[19:11] <MoTec> Dr_willis: sorry, wrong person
[19:11] <sheena1> oh! Lots of folders in there, darkweasel! I didn't see them before
[19:11] <_VIM_> Xenos: I stuck a pic of a penguin over my win key for that very reason
[19:11] <_VIM_> :D
[19:11] <Xenos> hehe
[19:12] <jonstetler1> does anyone have a idea why I would be having problems shutting down ubuntu? when i shutdown I get a really colorful screen?
[19:12] <Dr_willis> :)
[19:12] <garrett__> not really, it's a toshiba laptop and the audio chip isn't supported on 2.6.28
[19:12] <MoTec> my keyboard is so old it doesn't even have a windows or penguin key :)  only piece of hardware i've been using constantly since the 1980s :)
[19:12] <quibbler> i've programmed my "Windows button" to bring up a terminal...so at least it's good for something
[19:13] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: try typing 'sudo shutdown -P now'
[19:13] <sheena1> darkweasel, i found the .mozilla folder, and went into the firefox folder, and i see two things. one is "profiles.ini" and the other is "bl9b06q7.default".. which is the one i want to change?
[19:13] <_VIM_> haha quibbler
[19:13] <darkweasel> the bl9b one
[19:13] <JohnAlpha> Anyone care to help me troubleshoot some wireless issues with a Linksys WRT54G?
[19:13] <darkweasel> i.e. the one with the random symbols
[19:14] <garrett__> @JohnAlpha: I'll try to help if I can
[19:15] <sheena1> darkweasel: thanks so much. I hope that fixed it! :)
[19:15] <JohnAlpha> garrett: Thanks, I'm pretty clueless since I have no real experience with wireless.
[19:15] <jonstetler1> garrett_: like when I go to shutdown the computer?
[19:15] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: what's wrong with the wrt54g?
[19:15] <JohnAlpha> garrett: I set it up when my laptop had Vista on it, and I just formatted it to Ubuntu, installed the wireless card driver.
[19:16] <garrett__> @jonstetler: yes, exactly
[19:16] <MoTec> I have a small army of those deployed :)
[19:16] <JohnAlpha> Ubuntu sees my router's SSID and when I go to connect, it asks for the password.
[19:16] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: That will be the wireless encryption key it wants, not the router's password.
[19:16] <JohnAlpha> I give the password, specifying WPA & WPA 2 Personal (the router is using WPA) and after attempting to connect for a minute or two, it fails.
[19:17] <JohnAlpha> MoTec: Okay, I'll try that.
[19:17] <garrett__> ok, what type of computer is it? laptop/desktop?
[19:17] <ameed> Hello , How can i find the best Virtual Machine for Ubuntu 8.04 ?
[19:17] <garrett__> www.vmware.com
[19:17] <MoTec> ameed: virtualbox
[19:17] <jonstetler1> garret_: AI still get the same screen... and the computer doesn't shutdown...
[19:17] <atlef> !virtualbox | ameed
[19:17] <MoTec> heh, yes.. pick one.. vmware or virtualbox :)
[19:18] <ameed> Thank You guys .
[19:18] <garrett__> @jonstetler: seriously? hold on, let me look at something real quick
[19:18] <IntuitiveNipple> ameed: You might want to consider the kernel VM, KVM. It is based on QEMU but uses hardware support to make things run almost as fast as native
[19:19] <jonstetler1> garrett_: ok
[19:19] <mois> ll
[19:19] <etech> hi
[19:19] <fearful> hi
[19:19] <etech> does epiphany use  webkit?
[19:19] <klasikahl> hai
[19:19] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: what exactly happens when you run that command?
[19:20] <garrett__> hey etech!!
[19:20] <melvinm_> does anyone know any good IDE for programming in C???
[19:20] <JohnAlpha> No luck. I entered the WPA shared key into that field and I still can't seem to connect.
[19:20] <etech> garrett__, hi
[19:20] <MoTec> melvinm_: eclipse
[19:20] <garrett__> @melvinm: Notepad?
[19:20] <IntuitiveNipple> melvinm_: lightweight or heavy-weight? Eclipse CDT is good
[19:20] <_VIM_> notepad? VIM!
[19:20] <_VIM_> :D
[19:20] <garrett__> hahahaha
[19:21] <melvinm_> I'll try eclipse
[19:21] <IntuitiveNipple> melvinm_: lightweight there is anjuta
[19:21] <melvinm_> thank you
[19:21] <jonstetler1> garrett_: it exited the GUI and went to a ubuntu loading bar, went the bar reaches empty then the screen goes crazy and sits there like that
[19:21] <JamesA_> !windows
[19:22] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: ok, when that bar empties(is clear) try pressing the power button again...
[19:22] <jonstetler1> garrett_: just push it don't hold it right?
[19:22] <funkylarge> how do you auto mount the windows partition?
[19:23] <atlef> !mount | funkylarge
[19:23] <JohnAlpha> Any other ideas? I also notice that under Network Connections, if I edit the settings for that connection, the BSSID and MAC addresses fields are blank. Not sure if I need anything for those.
[19:23] <IntuitiveNipple> funkylarge: Add it to /etc/fstab so the system knows about it
[19:23] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: yeah, if that doesn't work, let me know(maybe we should pm)
[19:24] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: If you have no other wireless clients active you can always reset the WPA key.
[19:24] <funkylarge> intuitivenipple how can i do that
[19:24] <jonstetler1> garrett_: the other problem I;m having is when it does that and I have to hold the power button down to shut it off, it has problems restarting...
[19:24] <hp> hello
[19:24] <hp> hello people
[19:24] <hp> Mi Name is Jairo
[19:24] <stefg> !fstab | funkylarge
[19:25] <MoTec> no people here.. just clever perl scripts.
[19:25] <hp> Im am From MEXICO UBUNTU 2009
[19:25] <hp> I need you help ---
[19:25] <stefg> MoTec: would you rather see dumb perl scripts? ... yelling rtfm or stfu at you ? :-)
[19:26] <MoTec> stefg: heh
[19:26] <jonstetler1> garrett_:lol now it won't start up....
[19:26] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: ok, well here, go to your terminal and type 'sudo gedit /etc/modules' and add 'apm power_off=1' and that may help
[19:26] <JohnAlpha> MoTec: What would be the easiest way to do it? Like I said, I'm completely clueless with routers...
[19:26] <garrett__> oh shiz, like at all?
[19:27] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: Can you log on to the router's web interface?
[19:27] <JohnAlpha> Yeah, I'm there now from my desktop machine.
[19:27] <quibbler> !ask | hp
[19:27] <wikkedfin> Hi i have a question about ubuntu server 8.04-2 i installed eggdrop via apt-get where the heck is the scripts and the config for it?
[19:27] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: http://yann.typepad.com/yann/wrt-setup.png
[19:27] <MoTec> it's under wireless - wireless security
[19:28] <jonstetler1> garrett_:its sitting at boot from (hd0) ext3... won't load in.. it might not ubuntu.. could it be something with my hdd?
[19:28] <MoTec> probably want WPA Personal w/TKIP
[19:28] <MoTec> That screenshot shows radius.. you don't want that
[19:28] <JohnAlpha> MoTec: So then I just enter something else for the key?
[19:28] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: yep
[19:29] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: This will break any other wireless clients 'till you configure them with the new key, also.
[19:29] <antisense> Hey there... I understand Windows 7 and Wubi don't get along - but would it work if I installed it inside Windows Vista? (am booting W7 and Vista currently and have no more primary partitions available) - as in a triple-boot of Vista, Ubuntu and Windows 7?
[19:29] <funkylarge> !partitions
[19:29] <JohnAlpha> MoTec: That's fine, it's just a personal router and I only have one laptop to connect wirelessly. I'm changing the key now.
[19:30] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: that may be your ubuntu getting corrupted...try booting into "Safe Mode" and repair it
[19:30] <hp> my questions is i not configure mi web cam .. mi kernel is Linux hp-desktop 2.6.24-16-generic #1
[19:30] <hp> mi web is Bus 004 Device 009: ID 0c45:602c Microdia Clas Ohlson TWC-30XOP WebCam
[19:30] <hp> im not watching -- watchin gree
[19:30] <arvind_khadri> hp, you need the .27 kernel ... the same model here :)
[19:30] <jonstetler1> garrett_: how to I boot into safe mode?
[19:30] <bobbycheetah> is it possible to change the middle mouse button paste function to the right mouse button? if so, how?
[19:30] <NicEXE> how can I mount /that/file.img to /unother/folder ?
[19:31] <jonstetler1> garrett_: I have no options where its stopped at...
[19:31] <arvind_khadri> NicEXE, you mean move .... use mv
[19:31] <Sirect> Hi Guys
[19:31] <arvind_khadri> !hi | Sirect
[19:31] <tibrox> can someone tell me how to make LD_LIBRARY_PATH available for all apps and not just for bash, please? I'm using intrepid.
[19:31] <MoTec> NicEXE: mount -o loop /that/file.img /unother/folder
[19:32] <garrett__> @jonstetlet1: when you see "GRUB Loading" in the top left corner before it says "booting from hd0" press Escape
[19:32] <JohnAlpha> MoTec: It worked! Thanks so much for your help!
[19:32] <hp> im  have a change Kernel ??
[19:32] <NicEXE> MoTec: thanks
[19:32] <MoTec> JohnAlpha: You're welcome.  Enjoy
[19:32] <hp> 8.04 a ubuntu 8.10 ??
[19:32] <arvind_khadri> NicEXE, sorry misunderstood
[19:32] <funkylarge> wats the command line for opening the /etc/fstab file and make a backup
[19:32] <arvind_khadri> hp, ya....
[19:32] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: basically press Escape as the bootloader is loading
[19:32] <MoTec> NicEXE: I know that works for .iso files and I believe it'll work for .img.. might be wrong however.
[19:32] <Flannel> funkylarge: Just open it in a text editor
[19:32] <Sirect> Im a beginner in  Ubuntu and I wanted to ask wheter there is any way to completly remove my Audio-Drivers. I tried Alsa and OSS, but both were not working with my Headset. I tried several Tutorials, but none was working. So I would like to remove all the stuff to replace it with new ones?
[19:33] <deany> NicEXE, also there is gmountiso if you want a GUI
[19:33] <funkylarge> i thought you need some root access to open and edit those files
[19:33] <jonstetler1> garrett_: then boot to the (recovery mode) ?
[19:33] <atlef_> funkylarge: gksu gedit
[19:33] <arvind_khadri> funkylarge, gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[19:33] <DIL> so sudo gedit ....
[19:33] <stefg> antisense: why not make backups (the ones you have are too old anyway :-) ) and repartition you hard disk properly and forget wubi?... ubuntu doesn't need a primary partiton and will happily live on some spare 10 Gigs inside an extended partition
[19:33] <NicEXE> MoTec: It worked!
[19:33] <MoTec> NicEXE: Glad I could help
[19:34] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: yes, exactly
[19:34] <arvind_khadri> !gksu > DIL
[19:34] <DIL> yea
[19:34] <BUGabundo> guys sorry for the spam
[19:34] <BUGabundo> but please visit http://www.chamap.net/
[19:34] <anom01y> is it worthwhile upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 ?
[19:34] <BUGabundo> it is so much fun!
[19:34] <stefg> anom01y: depends ...
[19:35] <MoTec> BUGabundo: it's spam and then appologize, not appoligize then spam.
[19:35] <anom01y>  I run xfce , and everything is running smooth already.
[19:35] <DIL> 3
[19:35] <DIL> 4
[19:35] <anom01y> stefg, what is the major difference ?
[19:35] <NicEXE> how can I copy all the containing files and folders from /here to /somewhere
[19:35] <Kryzler> anom01y I upgraded, to 8.10 and I've had very few problems, and it generally runs no problem
[19:36] <jonstetler1> garrett_: ok that got me back up and running
[19:36] <Zero__> Hi There
[19:36] <BUGabundo> ok MoTec eheh
[19:36] <Slart> NicEXE: mv has a recursive switch I think.. man mv would tell you more
[19:36] <BUGabundo> but its so fun, I had to share
[19:36] <anom01y> would it fix the xfce crashes when you switch users?
[19:36] <Slart> BUGabundo: it's not an excuse.. go tell the people in #ubuntu-offtopic instead
[19:36] <pepsiman> Hey all, I have a question. How to stay in runlevel 3, but with X shut down.
[19:36] <MoTec> cp -r /here /somewhere
[19:36] <stefg> anom01y: no major difference... if you have an old nvidia card (glx-legacy) don't upgrade.
[19:37] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: did you get the full boot version back?
[19:37] <NicEXE> ty
[19:37] <Slart> NicEXE: sorry..mv is move not copy.. cp is copy
[19:37] <BUGabundo> thanks Slart
[19:37] <BUGabundo> will do
[19:37] <MoTec> might need cp -r /here/* /somwhere
[19:37] <MoTec> I forget the exact syntax every time :)
[19:37] <Slart> NicEXE: think about if you need to preserve permissions.. I think there is a switch for that too
[19:38] <jonstetler1> garret_: yeah
[19:38] <borys> czacho
[19:38] <_VIM_> !pl
[19:38] <Slart> !pl | borys
[19:38] <jonstetler1> garrett_: I'm in the /etc/modules now. you say I need to add something to this file?
[19:39] <HappySmileMan> Does anyone know the package needed for OpenGL development?
[19:39] <jcn_ubuntu> i just put ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop post xp and i can only boot ubuntu when i am inserting the live-cd, selecting start from hd and then selecting ubuntu at the grub menu
[19:39] <jcn_ubuntu> when i try to boot ubuntu without the detour over the livecd menu, the pc just reboots after choosing ubuntu at grub
[19:39] <HappySmileMan> I would've assumed something like opengl-dev
[19:39] <jcn_ubuntu> what gives?
[19:40] <hp> not Work.. the Webcam
[19:40] <borys> co tam slychac
[19:40] <alaz> jcn_ubuntu, you put in the correct boot order?
[19:40] <jonstetler1> garrett_: I need to add the " apm power_off=1"?
[19:40] <Slart> borys: this channel is english only.. go to #ubuntu-pl
[19:40] <arvind_khadri> hp, you need the .27 kernel
[19:40] <jcn_ubuntu> i tried setting boot from hd first in the bios
[19:40] <_VIM_> borys: type /join #ubuntu-pl
[19:40] <jcn_ubuntu> but then i cant get ubuntu to boot at all
[19:40] <hp> ok tks Arwind
[19:40] <jcn_ubuntu> also
[19:40] <alaz> jcn_ubuntu, must be something wrong with your bootloader then
[19:40] <jcn_ubuntu> even when it boots, it still reads from the disc and it looks like its getting alot of read errors, but in the end booting up fine
[19:41] <jcn_ubuntu> doesn't sound to good
[19:41]  * _VIM_ stops echoing Slart .... get out of my head Slart !! ;)
[19:41] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: yes, that was what fixed it for me
[19:41] <nectar> hey guys
[19:41] <nectar> i need some help
[19:41] <Slart> _VIM_: I thought it was the other way around =)
[19:41] <biouser> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source; E: Package flashplugin-nonfree-pulse has no installation candidate
[19:41] <jcn_ubuntu> any info on how i can check grub?
[19:41] <nectar> can someone help me with http://paste.ubuntu.com/115750/
[19:41] <antisense> anyone have an idea if installing Wubi _from inside Windows Vista_ would work when I'm currently dual-booting Vista and Windows 7? :)
[19:41] <_VIM_> Slart: it was easier to blame you :PPPP
[19:41] <jonstetler1> garrett_: does it matter where I add that?
[19:42] <Slart> antisense: I don't think wubi cares about dual booting.. but I'm not sure.. I haven't even tried wubi
[19:42] <russia213> I tried install Ubuntu on my external but that didn't work out, now I have it on my internal, what filesystem should I partition the external HDD to so both windows and Ubuntu can identify it?
[19:42] <antisense> hmm, I see. I'd use a real partition but am already up to four primary ones
[19:42] <_VIM_> nectar: type that all on one line you cannot expect people to scroll up and read 3 seperate lines
[19:42] <borys> english problem
[19:42] <arooni_____> do i want to do a partial update?  i'm seeing:  "not all updates can be installed; run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible".... moving from hardy to ibex
[19:43] <Flannel> borys: /join #ubuntu-pl
[19:43] <Slart> borys: type /join #ubuntu-pl
[19:43] <quibbler> russia213: ntfs
[19:43] <russia213> Quibbler: Thank you
[19:43] <borys> i don`t speake english
[19:43] <arooni_____> upgrade that is
[19:43] <jonstetler1> garrett_: I got an error " Response Null in 'reply_add_sta' " ?
[19:43] <_VIM_> sudo mv borys /#ubuntu-pl
[19:43] <_VIM_> :D
[19:44] <garrett__> @jonstetler1: hmm, hold a sec
[19:44] <Flannel> borys: say /join #ubuntu-pl
[19:44] <quibbler> borys: what language do you speak
[19:44] <jonstetler1> garrett_: ok
[19:45] <Guisepe> helo
[19:46] <Slart> ok, borys is taken care of.. =)
[19:46] <johan12> is it hard to install a new font in ubuntu?
[19:46] <Slart> johan12: no
[19:46] <vigo> Slart: that was nice.
[19:46] <johan12> Slart: how?
[19:46] <Dr_willis> johan12,  copy the file to /home/username/.fonts and its done.. i think :)
[19:46] <Flannel> !fonts | johan12
[19:46] <Slart> johan12: make a folder called .fonts in your home folder.. copy the font file there
[19:47] <[TiZ]> Hi. My notifications have stopped working. They're not appearing anymore. Can anyone help me fix it?
[19:47] <MarkusT> Is there a reliable source on whether 2.6.28 or 2.5.29 will be Jaunty's kernel? I found a few discussions, but nothing official.
[19:47] <Renfield> I am attempting to install Ubuntu from a minimal CD. I am at the install base system. It failed. The error message I get is: base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/debootstrap-failed
[19:47] <MarkusT> *2.6.29, of course
[19:48] <Flannel> MarkusT: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions, thanks
[19:48] <testrtest1> Hey guys just had a quick question. I have an hp machine which i wanted to upgrade but could find barely any info online about its motherboard. It has a 775 socket with a p4 chip in it and i wanted to know if there was any risk in putting a core 2 duo on it. I mean, if it is not compatible is there any danger of any damage being done? There is the possibility that it is compatible though. Thanks
[19:48] <MarkusT> Flannel: Thank!
[19:48] <stefg> testrtest1: #hardware
[19:49] <true\false> How fussy should I be when installing updates on a netbook?
[19:49] <[TiZ]> Hi. My notifications have stopped working. They're not appearing anymore. Can anyone help me fix it?
[19:49] <Renfield> What steps do I need to take now, after install base system has failed?
[19:50] <MoTec> testrtest1: download and run belarc advisor on it.  (windows program) it'll tell you all about it.
[19:50] <Kokloco> Hi all
[19:51] <Kokloco> I installed Thunderbird in oirder to access my company's Exchange serverusing IMAP. It is working fine but I have to issues: a) I can't see my Inbox Folders where my rules forward incomming messages, and b) I can't access to public Folders. Can anyone help me with this? thanks
[19:51] <helpgoingnuts> does anyone know where i can find cfdisk in ubuntu?
[19:52] <Dr_willis> !info cfdisk
[19:52] <Dr_willis> Hmm oddd.
[19:52] <Dr_willis> !find cfdisk
[19:52] <MoTec> weird
[19:52] <Dr_willis>  gnu-fdisk package  - would be my guess..
[19:52] <pyk> helpgoingnuts: util-linux
[19:52] <stefg> helpgoingnuts: it's in the base-utils... comes with the base install
[19:53] <Dr_willis> if ya type 'cfdisk' at the terminal - it may tell you also.
[19:53] <helpgoingnuts> can i run from live cd?
[19:53] <stefg> helpgoingnuts: sure
[19:53] <Dr_willis> You can alwyas install apps on thelive cd.  if ya got the ram
[19:53] <helpgoingnuts> thx
[19:53] <exodus_ms> helpgoingnuts, why would you want to get away from it
[19:53] <MoTec> helpgoingnuts: consider gparted, too...
[19:53] <Slart> Kokloco: I think you can select what folders you want to see using imap.. I can't really remember where but it's there someplace.. I have no idea how public folders work in exchange
[19:53] <MoTec> helpgoingnuts: expecially if you're running from the live cd
[19:53] <Slart> Kokloco: I don't think they use the imap system.. but I'm really just guessing
[19:54] <stefg> MoTec: cfdisk does in fact generate a healthy partition table... gparted doesn't in most cases
[19:54] <[TiZ]> Hi. My notifications have stopped working. They're not appearing anymore. Can anyone help me fix it?
[19:55] <DIL> [TiZ]: try adding  it back rt clik menu bar andd notification
[19:55] <MoTec> stefg: that'd be a significant drawback for a disk partitioning tool.
[19:55] <Antioch> Does anyone know a repo where I can get new versions of Banshee? The current version is 1.4.2 but Ubuntu's stock repos only have 1.2.1
[19:55] <[TiZ]> DIL: What? I didn't understand that at all.
[19:55] <DIL> [TiZ]: yea
[19:55] <helpgoingnuts> hmm in terminal when I run cfdisk it shows fatal error: cannot open disk drive, any key to exit.  and with gparted it says root privileges are required, since gparted can be a weapon of mass destruction
[19:56] <Kokloco> Slart, OK thanks. I have a lot of problems trying to access my company's email server. They are all Windows Guys, and the use all that stuff of public folders, public agenda, bla bla bla, and they are expecting all their employees to do so.. I am free to use Linux in my computer if that doesnt interfier my job..And so far Evolution doesnt work as it is expected, and no more tools outthere
[19:56] <Slart> helpgoingnuts: run it as "gksudo gparted"
[19:56] <DIL> [TiZ]: try adding  it back right click on panel and add notification
[19:56] <helpgoingnuts> k
[19:56] <Slart> helpgoingnuts: you need to be root to change system stuff.. gksudo and sudo does that
[19:56] <Cpudan80> Use gksudo with GUIs
[19:56] <Cpudan80> sudo with guis can cause troubles
[19:56]  * nickrud considers chiming in, but nah
[19:57] <agathe> etbijz
[19:57] <MoTec> you need to specifiy the disk on the command line with cfdisk like:  cfdisk /dev/hda
[19:57] <ezerhoden> what ever happened to sux ?
[19:57] <MoTec> Kokloco: do they have OWA setup?  That might be a way to go.
[19:57] <Slart> Kokloco: I don't know how to do that.. microsoft is all hush hush with their systems and protocols.. last I heard evolution was the best client out there.. not sure if there is anything else
[19:57] <ezerhoden> !sux
[19:58] <[TiZ]> DIL: I think there's a communication issue. Are you not very good with english? When I say notification, I mean the little boxes that pop up in the corner or near the notifi- OH! That's what you mean. My notification area is still there. I mean the popup boxes.
[19:58] <MoTec> OWA=Outlook Web Access
[19:58] <nickrud> ezerhoden, if that means   set up X , debian/ubuntu never had that
[19:58] <ezerhoden> sux - wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials
[19:58] <[TiZ]> Sorry. :x
[19:58] <adac> which tool can scan for samba shares on a certain ip range?
[19:58] <Kokloco> MoTec, yes I have a webmail option (OWA) but from Firefox it is very ugly, and you cant paste things just write plane text
[19:58] <spass> adac: sambascan2
[19:58] <helpgoingnuts> someone told me to run cfdisk with linux, since my problm is when i was reinstalling winxp i only wanted to delete my partition with my OS files, but instead when i press D once it deleted all my partitions
[19:58] <DIL> [TiZ]: me nuh no wat iz ingisl sury dunt unna stan
[19:58] <nickrud> !info sux
[19:58] <spass> adac: uses nmap to scan
[19:58] <[TiZ]> DIL: XD
[19:58] <MoTec> adac: nmap
[19:59] <nickrud> ezerhoden, it's there; but su doesn't work in ubuntu unless you explicitly enable a root account
[19:59] <ezerhoden> gotcha
[19:59] <anom01y> does running adept manager as super user cause x to crash if you switch users ?
[19:59] <Dr_willis> I tend to use 'sux' a lot :)
[19:59] <helpgoingnuts> so now i didnt format yet, but i have one big unallocated Unpartioned space.  how do i restore the file table structure back the way it was?
[19:59]  * nickrud never uses a tool that someone could turn on him, verbally
[20:00] <[TiZ]> I'll just restart and hope it works.
[20:00] <meoblast001> hello
[20:00] <Kokloco> I think I am going to install Outlook 2003 under Wine, it is the only soulution I see now
[20:00] <MoTec> adac: something like:  nmap -p 139 192.168.1-10
[20:00] <meoblast001> i just bought a bluetooth adapter and need help setting it up
[20:00] <nickrud> Dr_willis, there was a day that I wish I'd known about sux though
[20:00] <stefg> helpgoingnuts: you're probably more intrested in testdisk
[20:00] <borys> co
[20:00] <meoblast001> i clicked the bluetooth icon on the notification area and told it to setup my device... it told me to select the device i want but the device list is empty
[20:00] <helpgoingnuts> stefg: ok...
[20:00] <stefg> !testdisk | helpgoingnuts
[20:00] <ezerhoden> Dr_willis: i think we are moving offtopic, but sux is almost as good as man pump, but alast dhclient has done away with that fun
[20:01] <stefg> !info testdisk | helpgoingnuts
[20:01] <adac> MoTec, spass thx guys I will try it out!
[20:01] <sorin7486> meoblast001:  have you activated bluetooth on the device ?
[20:01] <meoblast001> sorin7486, ti's a bluetooth adapter.... USB
[20:01] <helpgoingnuts> stefg: how do i run that?
[20:02] <garrett__> with sudo then your program
[20:02] <sorin7486> meoblast001: yes but I presume you want to use it to connect to a phone
[20:02] <sorin7486> meoblast001: or some other device
[20:02] <meoblast001> sorin7486, no
[20:02] <meoblast001> sorin7486, to a headset
[20:02] <helpgoingnuts> bash testdisk command not found
[20:03] <meoblast001> sorin7486, how do i know ubuntu is properly using the bluetooth device?
[20:03] <sorin7486> meoblast001: if the bluetooth icon appears that means the USB adaptor was probably recognised
[20:03] <meoblast001> oh wait.. it found the device
[20:03] <meoblast001> and the headset
[20:03] <stefg> helpgoingnuts: you'd need to install it. but if you are on a recovery mission you should  rather use a specialized recue distro like system rescue cd or parted magic... not an ubuntu install CD
[20:03] <helpgoingnuts> oh, ok.  yes I do need to recover
[20:03] <helpgoingnuts> so would that mean I need another harddrive to transfer? I cant do it all on this drive?
[20:04] <helpgoingnuts> because this drive is full of files
[20:04] <sorin7486> meoblast001: I've never used bluetooth with a headset ... I have been using it to transfer files to a phone and it's pretty straight forward
[20:04] <CarlFK> how do I turn off the cpu freq scaling thing?  (so that it doesn't slow down, cuz that messes up realtime video encoding)
[20:05] <silidan> hi, im not sure im in the right chat, but ill just ask:  Is it possible to link 2 pc over sata II ?
[20:05] <eut> CarlFK, kill the power saving applets/daemons
[20:05] <helpgoingnuts> somebody there? :(
[20:05] <CarlFK> helpgoingnuts: http://www.clonezilla.org - it can backup a drive over lan, usb, etc.
[20:05] <Slart> silidan: It's possible, yes... but I haven't heard of anyone doing it
[20:05] <helpgoingnuts> over lan eh? hmm...
[20:05] <DIL> dcfldd wir air imager
[20:05] <CarlFK> eut: i need it more permanently, so that I don't have to do it each time I reboot
[20:06] <DIL> dcfldd with air imager
[20:06] <silidan> Slart: can you give more details or a hint to a discussion / howto?
[20:06] <eut> CarlFK, look at the /etc/init.d scripts, there should be one in there for the power saving stuff
[20:06] <mike8888> hi guys..
[20:06] <talntid> I used my 16gb thumb drive on a WindowsME computer... now Ubuntu only mounts it read-only... any ideas?
[20:07] <Slart> silidan: it's possible in the same way as building a 200 meter long car out of tooth picks...
[20:07] <eut> talntid, mount /dev/whatever /media/usb -o umask=000
[20:07] <testrtest1> Hey guys just had a quick question. I have an hp machine which i wanted to upgrade but could find barely any info online about its motherboard. It has a 775 socket with a p4 chip in it and i wanted to know if there was any risk in putting a core 2 duo on it. I mean, if it is not compatible is there any danger of any damage being done? There is the possibility that it is compatible though. Thanks
[20:07] <Slart> silidan: I have no idea how one would do it.. but I guess it would take at least a couple of months to build the hardware and write some kind of driver for it..
[20:07] <sorin7486> silidan: I think you might have more luck on a hardware channel :)
[20:07] <TTT_Travis> testrtest1 not really the right channel, but whats the model number?
[20:08] <silidan> well i imagine that it wouldn not require any special hardware
[20:08] <spass> testrtest1: check mobo specification
[20:08] <testrtest1> ttt_travis, thanks. its an hp dx2200 the motherboard is msi-0a48 it has ati radeon xpress 200
[20:08] <sorin7486> silidan: you're right but it would require some kernel hacking
[20:08] <testrtest1> spass cant find much info onlnie
[20:08] <Slart> silidan: then it seems you know more about sata and how it communicates than I do
[20:08] <silidan> yes, thats why im asking around.... in hope to find someone who already tried / did this
[20:09] <silidan> or at least knows for sure f it is possible /impossible
[20:09] <Slart> silidan: what makes you think someone has done it? it seems easier to just use a regular ethernet connection
[20:09] <talntid> same. read only file system
[20:09] <sorin7486> silidan: try tracking down some kernel people that do sata drivers ;)
[20:10] <silidan> because when oyu need parallel processing on low budget and Gbit lan is too slow for you... this would be next option that come to my mind
[20:10] <silidan> ok, where can i find kernel developers?
[20:10] <talntid> eut: same - read only
[20:10] <silidan> especially ones doing sata
[20:11] <DIL> helpgoingnuts: check these out  http://air-imager.sourceforge.net/; http://dcfldd.sourceforge.net, http://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/desc.php
[20:11] <TTT_Travis> testrtest1 hmm sorry, I can't find any info about that board, I am doubting a Core 2 would work tho
[20:11] <eut> talntid, then i'm not sure... umask should give everybody full permissions, man mount for more info
[20:11] <Slart> silidan: if gigabig lan it too slow you're no longer playing in the "low budget" division =).. not sure what they use in supercomputers.. probably something special
[20:11] <eut> talntid, *umask=000
[20:11] <ronny> hmm
[20:11] <talntid> yeah I had tried that already :)
[20:11] <testrtest1> ttt_travis, thanks, yeah, i cant find much info either. is there any risk in trying to put a c2d on it though?
[20:11] <silidan> they ise fiber optic links if im right
[20:11] <spass> testrtest1: can you open it up, and read the mobo type they put in those ?
[20:11] <Dr_willis> Slart,  ESP :) and Warp-Speed Lan!
[20:12] <silidan> with i think about 10 Gigbit
[20:12] <TTT_Travis> Hi I have a data hard drive that I moved from my old ubuntu computer, now on the new computer the files are all highlighted green in terminal, I Think that means sticky bit -- how do I get the files back to normal?
[20:12] <spass> testrtest1: worst case... it wont run ;]
[20:12] <talntid> testrtest1: putting the c2d in a lga 775 won't hurt it
[20:12] <slyyf> Ok so, suddenly about a month or so ago dvds stopped working, they work on windows, /dev/scd0 should be the disk drive, however, it says there is no media..if I start gnome (which used to autoplay the dvds)..gnome does not see the dvd drive
[20:12] <testrtest1> spass and ta1ntid thanks
[20:12] <Slart> silidan: but go read up on the protocol SATA uses.. if you're lucky it's just software you need
[20:12] <testrtest1> will try it then
[20:12] <testrtest1> cya
[20:12] <meoblast001> i can't get the bluetooth headset to work
[20:12] <testrtest1> gusy
[20:12] <FloodBot1> testrtest1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:12] <adac> spass, MoTec what is the bet method with nmap to test if a host is online (if remote host is blocking ping)
[20:12] <Slart> Dr_willis: hehe.."ESP inside" =)
[20:13] <silidan> ok i think so too, but can oyu give me hint on which channel i can find some kernel ppl ?
[20:13] <Slart> silidan: try ##linux ... or check kernel.org
[20:13] <eut> talntid, did you unmount it before you remounted?
[20:13] <silidan> cause in the end i think a ethernet driver for sata is needed
[20:13] <MoTec> adac: nmap -O host should work
[20:13] <Dr_willis> Slart,  I need a Tee-shirt with that.. for my Mom! :)
[20:13] <silidan> twil try
[20:13] <spass> adac: try using arping
[20:14] <talntid> yes, eut
[20:14] <Slart> Dr_willis: hmm..  I try to use privoxy so that privoxy will listen to the localhost connections and forward it to my proxy server. Can someone help me.. I dunno how to config the privoxy..
[20:14] <Antioch> i was using an old version of Banshee which auto-downloaded album cover artwork for one of my albums. The artwork is bad - it's distorted in a green color. I just updated to Banshee 1.4.2 hoping that it will use the "cover.jpg" file in the folder where the music resides, but it doesnt. How can I make it flush the old downloaded image and use the cover.jpg in the directory? Thanks!
[20:14] <Dr_willis> Slart,  and 'free guilt trips'
[20:14] <eut> talntid, maybe someone else can help.. i dunno
[20:14] <talntid> thanks for trying =D
[20:14] <russia213> How would you format/repartition a drive with Ubuntu?
[20:14] <slyyf> anybody?
[20:14] <spass> adac: check -sA
[20:14] <Dr_willis> russia213,  one way - use 'gparted'
[20:15] <spass> adac: it needs root perms
[20:15] <Dr_willis> russia213,  and you partition, then format.
[20:15] <MoTec> yeah, both -sA and -O would require root
[20:15] <russia213> Dr_Willis: Where do I get gparted or is it already installed?
[20:16] <adac> spass, MoTec ok, i will try your options and see what is the best. thx!
[20:16] <Dr_willis> russia213,  if its not.. install it.. Logical eh?
[20:18] <DIL> russia213: after install it will be on menu but you have to be root so gksu gparted from console
[20:18] <russia213> k

[20:19] <etech> is there alight desktop environment which doesn't need to be configured with text files?
[20:19] <fdr> could you please suggest me an up-to-date howto for installing dansguardian (or any other parental filter) on intrepid as transparent proxy? Thanks!
[20:20] <blip-> etchy, every desktop enviroment stores settings in a text file,  some provice gui front-ends to modify those.  I like openbox,   has a frontend called obconf
[20:20] <Renfield> I am having all kinds of problems getting Ubuntu installed.
[20:20] <blip-> etchy, the only setting that needs to be done manuall is for keyboard shortcuts and that's very easy.   it's a new wm so the future will bring more gui tools
[20:20] <Renfield> I finally got past the install base system by running it three times.
[20:21] <blip-> what's the difference between Hardy and 8.04 LTS ?  I can't tell the diff
[20:21] <Renfield> Now, it keeps dieing on "select and install software". What can I do?
[20:21] <Scunizi> blip-: Hard is 8.04
[20:22] <jrib> blip-: same thing.  Technically, the term "Hardy" is meant to used during devel only, but that's not the case in practice
[20:22] <etech> blip-, ok, because some desktop environments need to be configured through text files to change the size of the panel for example
[20:22] <blip-> Scunizi, yes but I have an old CD that was 8.04 only.  I went to download one today and it was called 8.04 LTS
[20:22] <blip-> it even had updated drivers somehow
[20:22] <nkei0> What does the kernel option irqpoll do?
[20:22] <Renfield> I see various errors: Couldn't find task ubuntustudio-audio, tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[20:23] <blip-> etchy, openbox doesn't give you a panel, you install one seperately from the repositories. if you want an easy and nice one try fbpanel
[20:23] <russia213> DiL: I do I get it to format to ntfs?
[20:23] <blip-> etchy, and if you want desktop icons,  try pcmanfm file manager (it has desktop icon support in the file manager itself :)
[20:24] <Johnny5> I have a bit of a problem :(
[20:25] <helpgoingnuts> hey
[20:25] <WIGGMPk> My openoffice does not have "Icons" on the toolbars, it just has the words identifying the actions. Why is this? and how can I get the icons like i see in other screenshots?
[20:26] <Johnny5> I deleted a non-essential primary partition so that I could create an extended partition there instead, and free up that 4th primary spot to put Linux on..... but now Windows doesn't boot up and I can't see my partitions
[20:26] <edoceo> My apt-get reports loads of dependency errors on this machine I just assumed control of - how do I "trick" it to ignore those so I can just get a kernel update?
[20:26] <Scunizi> WIGGMPk: might have something to do with your theme.. I installed a dark theme yesterday and all my icons with OO disappeared as well.
[20:27] <Grok4242> ntp seems to be missing on the servers.  Getting a 404.  Anyone know of an alternate place to get it?
[20:27] <WIGGMPk> Scunizi: i like my theme.. have you tried installing the hi contrast package to see if it will fix?
[20:27] <Scunizi> WIGGMPk: nope..
[20:27] <carpii> if i install a source package via apt-get, whats the correct way to remove it? just delete the dir ?
[20:28] <jrib> carpii: huh?  explain exactly what you mean with commands
[20:28] <carpii> like i did "sudo apt-get source kmail"
[20:28] <carpii> which retrieved a tarball
[20:28] <jrib> carpii: nothing else?
[20:28] <Grok4242> "sudo aptitude install ntp" ==> 404
[20:28] <carpii> well i did some compilation, but that was just to /usr/local and i did a make distclean
[20:28] <nkohh> hello, has anyone experienced the sound levels jumping on modification in 8.10? (everytime I hit the volume up or down button on keyboard or change it from the panel applet it can jump all over... from top to middle to bottom to mute.. it's very random)
[20:28] <carpii> so i think thats all removed
[20:28] <Grok4242> Tried to install it first under date/time tool
[20:28] <wolter> hi
[20:29] <spass> carpii: apt-get remove ?
[20:29] <wolter> how come i have 4gb ram, and 77% are in use with only xchat and gnome do running????
[20:29] <jrib> carpii: you ran « make install » at some point to install to /usr/local/?
[20:29] <carpii> yes jrib, but then make distclean afterwards to remove it
[20:29] <Grok4242> wolter: Filesystem cacheing.
[20:29] <bat1> HELLO PEOPLE!!!
[20:29] <DIL> shh
[20:29] <wolter> Grok4242, but 77% in use, not in cache
[20:29] <sether> WIGGMPk, try View -> Toolbars -> Customize. in the Customize window, go to the Toolbars tab and select the Toolbar drop-down menu, then select either "Icons only" or "Icons and text"
[20:29] <Grok4242> wolter: If you need the RAM for applications it will be switched from caching the filesystem to your app.
[20:29] <bat1> My name is Borya
[20:29] <carpii> spass i cant apt-get remove since it will remove my kmail packages, rather than the source tarball
[20:29] <wolter> Grok4242, I normally get like 11% or 17%.
[20:30] <bat1> I LOVE YOU!
[20:30] <wolter> Grok4242, it is not cached! it is in use by programs!
[20:30] <bat1> PIDARI!
[20:30] <bat1> VI 4E
[20:30] <bat1> axyeli savsem?
[20:30] <nkohh> wolter: run "free -m" in a terminal and read the "cached" value
[20:30] <DIL> !ru
[20:30] <wolter> nkohh, 576
[20:31] <WIGGMPk> sether: i have tried that before but it didnt work.. however removing these package  sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-gnome worked, but I cant use my theme (which didnt mix well either)
[20:31] <nkohh> shared and buffers?
[20:31] <jrib> carpii: make distclean doesn't remove the stuff you installed to /usr/local/.  You're not really doing this properly.  If you use apt-get source, then you usually make modifications and then rebuild the deb package and install that.  You've circumvented apt by using « make install », so it doesn't know anything about what you have in /usr/local/.  It's still there.  You'll have to remove it yourself
[20:31] <WIGGMPk> sether: thanks though
[20:31] <sether> =\
[20:31] <wolter> total 3959, used 3701
[20:31] <bat1> yf' yf'
[20:31] <wolter> im going to reboot.. this can't be.
[20:31] <bat1> vi axyeli?
[20:31] <nkohh> wolter: do a ps aux and look at the fourth column... fourth column is MEM%
[20:31] <bat1> savsem
[20:31] <nkohh> or not
[20:31] <bat1> vi napro4' axyeli
[20:32] <Grok4242> wolter: Yeah, that's out of control for sure.
[20:32] <carpii> jrib, but makedistclean removes the binary files the compilation created, no?
[20:32] <carpii> i cant see anything in /usr/local  (it was kmail i was compiling)
[20:32] <carpii> /usr/local/bin
[20:32] <Johnny5> How can I tell if I've lost everything on my computer or if my partitions still exist?
[20:32] <Grok4242> So anyone know where I can find a safe mirror to get the ntp package from since the master seems to have walked off?
[20:33] <carpii> johnny5, boot from livecd and try to mount the partitions?
[20:33] <jrib> carpii: carpii I suppose it depends on the makefile, but usually it does not.  If there's nothing in /usr/local/ and there used to be, then I guess you are fine
[20:33] <Johnny5> How do I mount them?
[20:33] <spass> Johnny5: fdisk -l
[20:33] <carpii> ok thanks jrib. so im ok to just delete the source tarball which apt downloaded. rather than doing apt-get source remove or something
[20:33] <Grok4242> Johnny5: Or if you're running in GUI mode from the "places" menu
[20:33] <jrib> carpii: yes
[20:33] <carpii> great, thanks
[20:34] <Grok4242> wolter: So how's the memory?
[20:34] <xoox> How do I get prevu to use my gpg key?
[20:34] <WIGGMPk> sether: Scunizi: installing openoffice.org-style-hicontrast package brings back the icons but they look really really ugly (and im still able to use my dark gtk theme)
[20:34] <edoceo> how does dpkg determine my architecture?
[20:34] <wolter> Grok4242, now that i rebooted, 11% again :)
[20:34] <wolter> Grok4242, who knows what happened...
[20:35] <spass> wolter: tried to check which process takes this memory ? top ?
[20:35] <Johnny5> What is the code pasting ubuntu page again? I'd like to show you the fdisk return.
[20:35] <meoblast001> i need soem assistance with setting up a bluetooth headset... help.ubuntu.com isn't working for me

[20:35] <stefg> Johnny5: /topic
[20:35] <marko-_-> aha
[20:36] <wolter> spass, well, it was banshee, but it only had 64mb taken
[20:36] <spass> wierd
[20:36] <DSSA> Is anyone in here well versed with runing REALVNC with Ubuntu 8.10?
[20:36] <DSSA> ...and patient, as I'm completely inept at this stuff
[20:37] <wolter> yeah
[20:37] <Grok4242> wolter: I should try Banshee...you think it's better than the default Rythmbox?
[20:37] <PPKuma> hi, when i right click i get a context menu "Create New" in this options you can choose "HTML file". is there a Way to modify this html file template?
[20:37] <DSSA> I don't know if I have to set up a static IP or just figure out what one my Ubuntu box has in order to use it
[20:37] <Johnny5> Thanks. Here is what fdisk says: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d23ee9947
[20:37] <edoceo> How could I detect the version of Ubuntu I'm using? - (gutsy,hardy,etc)
[20:37] <Grok4242> DSSA: Not with Ubuntu but with VNC in general I am very experienced
[20:38] <robf> when I go to restricted drivers,  it says "none found"  normally it'd not say this (I ran the ati restricted drivers and it broke x,  so I removed fglrx* and ati/radeon xserver-xorg-video drivers
[20:38] <edoceo> I have this libc6:  libc6                            2.3.6-0ubuntu20
[20:38] <DIL> cat /etc/*-version
[20:38] <wolter> Grok4242, well, just now I am trying rythmbox because banshee is awesome, but consumes way too much memory
[20:38] <robf> but in the future I want restricted drivers to function correctly if this is ever fixed...why are they not appearing in there now?
[20:38] <DSSA> Grok: I have the Server Edition which I added the desktop to, just need to find the address I need to type into VDC in order to connect it
[20:38] <meoblast001> i've about had it with stuff not working
[20:38] <wolter> rythmbox is taking half of what banshee did
[20:38] <nkohh> wolter: plus, rhythmbox will play stuff from jamendo :)
[20:38] <DSSA> Pretty much a noob with any of this stuff, so I apologize
[20:38] <wolter> Grok4242, have you expirienced any odds with rythmbox? its been years since i don't run it
[20:38] <robf> DSSA: don't apologize... no better way to learn ;)
[20:38] <deany> robf, i recommend the lastest ATI/AMD driver....
[20:39] <robf> well I mean,  than asking quesitons
[20:39] <MoTec> edoceo: do a cat /etc/issue
[20:39] <robf> deany: oh no no,  I've no problem there ;)
[20:39] <deany> latest**
[20:39] <Tobias2200> hello. so i finally burned a working ubuntu cd :) now i'm stuck at connecting to my wlan access point. i use a usb wlan adapter from netgear.  how can i configure it?
[20:39] <Grok4242> DSSA: When you startup the server it tells you the port offset.  Typically the port is 5901 if you're only running one server
[20:39] <robf> deany: the issue is that it simply isn't showing anything IN the restricted drivers app now
[20:39] <deany> still, i`d use that myself... I do.
[20:39] <robf> deany: I wondered why it wouldn o longer show the ati drivers (even though I'm not going to use them)
[20:39] <deany> ok
[20:39] <Grok4242> wolter: Yeah...I can't add any files to my library via either SSH mount or SMB mount.
[20:39] <Johnny5> I should have four partitions. That looks like it's seeing four things, but I don't know how to get them back working.
[20:39] <Renfield> Is the minimal CD installation method supposed to be an officially supported method of installation?
[20:39] <MoTec> edoceo: or a cat /etc/lsb-release
[20:40] <deany> maybe need to do an update or upgrade?
[20:40] <DSSA> Yeah, I'm using this as my only server.  Just setting this up as a glorified file server for three other (XP) computers
[20:40] <Grok4242> wolter: Works VERY well with NFS but "Places" doesn't support NFS....probably because it isn't installed.
[20:40] <DIL> sry cat /etc/*-release
[20:40] <stefg> DSSA: as a general rule a server should have a fixed ip anyway. if you're going to connect fro behind a router you need to set up port forwarding anyway, that'll be dfficult with a moving IP issud by a dhcp server
[20:40] <deany> wifi driver for my laptop doesnt appear unitl i do an upgrade.... which is a minus point for ubuntu
[20:40] <DSSA> Trying to make it headless, but have to figure out the info for REALVNC
[20:40] <edoceo> MoTec: dapper! thx!
[20:41] <robf> deany: thing is I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04,  ati restricted drivers broke X,  so I purged fglrx* / xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon   did removing these packages cause the items to disapear from the restricted driver applet
[20:41] <robf> need I simply remerge them?
[20:41] <robf> er re apt-get them?
[20:41] <stefg> DSSA: just type ifconfig in a terminal and see what IP you got
[20:41] <MoTec> DSSA: look into webmin, also.  gives you a nice web interface to admin the machine
[20:41] <xoox> k
[20:41] <cln> you guys know why audio ATI IXP SB4x0 does not work properly on linux?
[20:41] <Renfield> Heh, sounds like Gentoo in here.
[20:41] <Grok4242> DSSA: There are a lot of potential issues.  I would first try to ping the server from the client to make sure you can even see it on the network "ping <server IP address>" where <server IP address> you got from running /sbin/ifconfig on the VNC server box
[20:41] <deany> I try and stay away from upgrading...
[20:41] <MoTec> i use the stressfree theme with webmin.. very nice stuff
[20:41] <robf> deany: understandable,  but at this point I'm where I am ;)

[20:42] <[TiZ]> Hi, I found a weird bug, and the reason my notifications weren't working.  Does anyone know anything about this? And where would you advise I file this bug?
[20:42] <wolter> Grok4242, well, I just keep a symlink to a ntfs partition with my music
[20:42] <Tobias2200> aw. the AP's are listed, but i can not connect :O anyone? :)
[20:42] <wolter> works awesome
[20:42] <deany> robf, sometimes, fixin it is more trouble than reinstalling :)
[20:42] <MoTec> stefg: thanks for that info!
[20:42] <wolter> Grok4242, you mean nfs like, net filesystem?
[20:42] <DSSA> when I run that command it comes up with a lot of different addresses.  How can a noob tell which is the one I need?
[20:42] <Grok4242> DSSA: Then try telneting into the VNC server with "telenet <server IP Address>:5901" or if on windows "telnet <server IP Address> 5901"
[20:42] <Luuux> guys i need help to install libssl, some guide pls?
[20:42] <rlameiro> !ebox
[20:42] <Luuux> guys i need help to install libssl, some guide pls?
[20:42] <wolter> Grok4242, does rythmbox organize the songs in directories, like banshee and itunes do?
[20:42] <porkpie> guys can anyone point me to a dapper sources.list please
[20:43] <deany> i tried an upgrade once, it wasnt worth the bother it caused me.
[20:43] <Grok4242> wolter: Yep.  I have an NFS server with 500GB of music and movies that everyone in my house uses.
[20:43] <Johnny5> Can anyone tell if that output means my partitions are still alive, and how to get them accessable again?
[20:43] <wolter> Grok4242, well, thats pretty nice lol
[20:43] <stefg> !sources | porkpie
[20:43] <Grok4242> wolter: NFS is awsome because if my kid "accidently" turns the server off nothing blows up.  Just restart it and the music starts again in 50 seconds.
[20:44] <Grok4242> wolter: Sorta like musical charis.
[20:44] <wolter> yeah
[20:44] <MoTec> ebox doesn't look as shiney as stressfree webmin... but I guess proper operation counts for something :)
[20:44] <wolter> Grok4242, your house looks like a technological one haha
[20:44] <Grok4242> wolter: It does it by artist: album
[20:44] <wolter> Grok4242, I am experiencing short stalls with rythmbox...
[20:45] <Grok4242> wolter: Never had that problem and my box IS VERY underpowered.
[20:45] <Grok4242> wolder: AMD 4 years old running off a USB key
[20:45] <Grok4242> wolter: Who is a technologist now?
[20:45] <Tobias2200> anyone familiar with wireless networking under ubuntu?
[20:46] <wolter> !tab | Grok4242
[20:46] <wolter> Grok4242, haha, well I guess me
[20:46] <wolter> Grok4242, how do i get rythmbox to organize my files
[20:46] <wolter> ?
[20:46] <Grok4242> wolter: Thanks...I don't hit IRC very much and didn't know that
[20:47] <fdr> I am trying to set up a transparent proxy. Did this: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080                 but it doesn't seem to be working.... any suggestions please? Thanks!
[20:47] <MoTec> Mmm.. IRSSI :)
[20:47] <Grok4242> I'm just hanging out until either the NTP package is put back on the Ubuntu servers or I find an alternate link.
[20:47] <fdr> (looks like the routing rule is not added...)
[20:48] <Brando753> hey how do you share files betwen computers in ubuntu
[20:48] <wolter> Grok4242, so, how do i?
[20:48] <Brando753> ?
[20:48] <mikeyyy> hey guys.. need some help. I want to play alien arena online but i can't coz im behind proxy. U have any idea how to solve this..
[20:48] <Grok4242> Brando753: SSH
[20:49] <Brando753> SSH?
[20:49] <Brando753> !ssh
[20:49] <aboSamoor1> can anyone help me with compiling libfprint ? I got the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/115687/
[20:49] <Grok4242> Brando753: Go to places and choose "Connect to a Server"
[20:49] <shwan> Brando753: Samba can do it , Nautilus can do it aswell by configuring samba for you!
[20:49] <faessje> Hi
[20:49] <Grok4242> Brando753:  Then choose SSH and put in the IP address of the other computer
[20:49] <spass> Brando753: ssh, samba, nfs, ftp... choose what you like
[20:50] <Grok4242> shwan: That is true but complex compared to the SSH option
[20:50] <Brando753> also how do i find the ip addres on ubuntu, i KNow how to in windows but not ubuntu :P
[20:50] <Grok4242> shwan: Or does ubuntu not run ssh server by default?  I haven't run it very long but I can't imagine a Linux box without ssh server
[20:50] <Johnny5> Anyone? carpii, spass?
[20:51] <spass> Brando753: ifconfig
[20:51] <Grok4242> Brando753: I'm sure there is an easier way but I always start a term and use "/sbin/ipconfig"
[20:51] <carpii> hm Johnny?
[20:51] <shwan> Grok4242: I think there is no ssh by default , not sure
[20:51] <MoTec> Brando753: ifconfig
[20:51] <wolter> Grok4242, but nah, back to banshee... rythmbox is also using 67mb...
[20:51] <Johnny5> Did that output from fdisk tell you anything?
[20:51] <wolter> Grok4242, i really recommend it to you
[20:51] <Grok4242> shawn: I think you might be correct.  Or the firewall is blocking localhost
[20:51] <carpii> i dont know, i didnt see it, sorry
[20:51] <Brando753> why ifconfig ? so confusing windows is IPconfig
[20:51] <carpii> try putting all your details on one line, the chan moves pretty quickly
[20:52] <carpii> or nopaste it
[20:52] <Johnny5> Okay, here carpii: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d23ee9947
[20:52] <MoTec> Brando753: because that's the way it is..   it shows InterFace information
[20:52] <Grok4242> wolter: I will try it....maybe it can work with ssh mounts
[20:52] <pronoy> anyone ?
[20:52] <wolter> Grok4242, well, do you have your disk mounted?
[20:52] <carpii> Johnny, to me that looks corrupt im afraid
[20:52] <carpii> sda2 starts on a cylinder which is < sda1 end
[20:52] <wolter> Grok4242, you might as well want to download gnome-do, its awesome. Its way better than any mac or awn dock
[20:52] <Johnny5> Anything I can do?
[20:53] <rlameiro> Brando753: if config comes before the windows one!
[20:53] <rlameiro> windows is confusing
[20:53] <carpii> hrm, maybe some specialised recovery tools, but id say the chances arent great
[20:53] <Grok4242> Brando753:  ifconfig is for interface config and does a lot more than the ipconfig command.  I agree it should by symlinked though.  I accidently type the wrong one all the time no matter which OS I'm on.
[20:53] <Johnny5> Darnit
[20:53] <Grok4242> wolter: I did that today.
[20:53] <Grok4242> wolter: Haven't used it much yet.
[20:54] <spass> Johnny5: try 'testdisk'. Maybie it will help. It requres knowledge tho...
[20:54] <wolter> Grok4242, really? do you like it?
[20:54]  * Johnny5 has no knowledge
[20:54] <DIL> it was ariad
[20:54] <Brando753> so i did the ssh link and got "ssh program unexpectedly exited" :(
[20:54] <pronoy> hello ? anyone ?
[20:54] <DIL> a raid
[20:54] <spass> Johnny5: then you're doomed...
[20:55] <shwan> Grok4242: I checked it out now , you need to install openssh-server in order to get ssh in to the box , the client is standard by the way
[20:55] <Grok4242> wolter: Too soon to tell.  I keep forgetting to use it
[20:55] <Renfield> pronoy: Get in line.
[20:55] <pronoy> i am in line :)
[20:55] <Renfield> The line is long.
[20:55] <wolter> Grok4242, oh
[20:55] <pronoy> Renfield :) yeah i sorta just realized
[20:55] <Grok4242> shawn: Then I switch to your idea of setting up samba if he wants to use it long term
[20:55] <nickrud> the line starts with whoever writes the clearest question that someone knows the answer to
[20:56] <Brando753> :d
[20:56] <_VIM_> lol
[20:56] <Johnny5> spass, testdisk in a terminal says "testdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[20:56] <Brando753> help, when i did the ssh link and got "ssh program unexpectedly exited" :(
[20:56] <[biabia]> i installed startip-manager, changed a few settings and saved them, but the window has been running for 2 hours in "performing post configuration tasks".   Is it safe to close this window
[20:57] <spass> Brando753: better install ftp server to share files
[20:57] <[biabia]> err startup-manager
[20:57] <pronoy> taking a cue from nickrud .....i have installed ubuntu in windows and i am not able to access the rest of the drive in which i have installed it..how do i access the content ?
[20:57] <Grok4242> Brando753: Did you see my conversation with shwan?
[20:57] <Brando753> well how do i use samba?
[20:57] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: wubi?
[20:57] <shwan> Brando753: which version of ubuntu do you run ?
[20:57] <spass> Brando753: way easier than ssh for a newbie
[20:57] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: You want to access Windows drive from your Ubuntu install?
[20:57] <Grok4242> Brando753: You either need to go to Applications->Add Remove Applications and install ssh-server first or look into the samba share route.
[20:57] <Brando753> i just want a nice drop folder
[20:57] <owner> anyone use gufw firewall?
[20:57] <Brando753> i have ubuntu 8.10
[20:58] <darius_> best command to have a live stream start on startup in ubuntu?
[20:58] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: yes....the same drive in which ubuntu is installed in
[20:58] <Safe> Stupid ubuntu, the internet still won't work. /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf all look as they should, still nothing.
[20:58] <chuckc> is there a way to know what drive belongs to which physical sata port; ie /dev/sdb -> sata port 1 ?
[20:58] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: It should be mounted on /host/
[20:58] <[biabia]> chuckc: mount
[20:58] <shwan> Brando753: then all you need is just right click on the folder you want to share and choose share and ... then from the other pc choose network from places menu
[20:58] <pronoy> WebcaWonder: why doesn't it show on the side....like why doesn't it show like the rest of the drives
[20:58] <Renfield> Safe: I've got a similar problem. I can't get the minimal CD to give me a reliable enough connection for to actually complete the install.
[20:59] <wolter> why do you people ssh mount things?
[20:59] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: why doesn't it show on the side....like why doesn't it show like the rest of the drives
[20:59] <wolter> god..
[20:59] <owner> what's the best (user-friendly) firewall in ubuntu?
[20:59] <Brando753> i know that but my computer wont show up under network >"(
[20:59] <slyyf> Ok, I am getting very ticked now...Ever since a kernel upgrade a month or so ago scd0 (My DVD/CD drive) is missing..and I cant fix it..I need answers and I want them now
[20:59] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: Oh, that is b/c of the way Wubi does the mounting. The host drive is mounted, and then the ext3 parittion is mounted off the host drive
[20:59] <Safe> Renfield, you
[20:59] <phyburn> it seems when I updated to kernel 2.6.27-11 it broke my NIC is there any big security flaws with 2.6.27-7?
[20:59] <Safe> Renfield, you're trying to configure via the network-manager right? Seems to be a bug there.
[21:00] <chuckc> bibia: i don't have the drives mounted, not partitioned yet.  I have 3 of the same drive, but can't tell which one is failing
[21:00] <mads-> HI - I'm trying to install glew. When I try doing "sudo make" it says "/bin/sh: config/config.guess: not found" - what is wrong?
[21:00] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: so the drive in which i have installed ubuntu is taken off the /host/
[21:00] <pronoy> ??
[21:00] <Grok4242> wolter: Because SSH server comes default with all other versions of Linux.  Trying to install and configure samba is a pain on say Fedora10 compared to just using the existing ssh server.  It all works the same once you're connected.
[21:00] <Renfield> Safe: No, there's no network-manager that I know of. Well unless it is part of the minimal install. This is all text and no GUI.
[21:00] <Brando753> Is there a reason the network folder is so flaky?
[21:00] <Brando753> sometimes my laptop appers sometimes it dosent
[21:01] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: Yeah. On system startup, one of the first things that is done is, mount your NTFS drive on /host. Then your entire / is mounted from /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, so basically, /host is guarunteed to be there and mounted all the time your ubuntu is running
[21:01] <Safe> Renfield, oh. I've been trying all day to get this to work, can't understand what the problem would be.
[21:01] <darius_> anyone know how to have a url start @ startup?
[21:01] <Mood> How can i auto connect to my wifi? I'm using ubuntu 8.10
[21:01] <Renfield> Yea, me neither.
[21:01] <Tisch> #eurocop
[21:01] <eut> Safe, Renfield, what is your problem?
[21:01] <shwan> then just use connect to server and use the IP adress , prot. SMB ...so on you need maybe can just point nautilius to this path smb://your-server-ipread or readf https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[21:01] <maxanto> ciao
[21:01] <maxanto> !list
[21:02] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: can i do it using a gui like ntfsconf or something
[21:02] <shwan> Safe: DO you have Network Manager installed ?
[21:02] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: What do you want to do?
[21:02] <Safe> eut, well, internet just wont start? I've configured everything as it should be. (according to the examples I've googled.)
[21:02] <Renfield> eut: I can not get through the installation of Ubuntu. It keeps dieing in various places.
[21:02] <Safe> shwan, no, uninstalled it.
[21:02] <eut> hmm...
[21:02] <Blended> i've got a question anyone willing to help?
[21:02] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: to mount it automatically on startup
[21:03] <Flannel> !anyone | Blended
[21:03] <Renfield> eut: It took three tries to get through the "install base system" portion.
[21:03] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: It is automatically done. If that wasn't done, your ubuntu couldn't have even gone to the loading screen :)
[21:03] <wolter> Grok4242, well, seems nice :p
[21:03] <wolter> Grok4242, I think I'd better try it. Samba is not as good as one hopes
[21:03] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: ok so then i'll have to remount it on /host/
[21:03] <Blended> Can anyone tell me how to enable the 3d cube desktop effect... i've tried all of the tutorials for it and none of them work
[21:03] <Renfield> eut: Then it completely, and repeatedly failed on installing the packages.
[21:03] <WebcamWonder> pronoy: Wubi sets up all this mounting thing automatically.. You don't need to remount anything. Just goto nautilus and browse to /host, it should be there
[21:04] <Brando753> hey how come my network folder only shows some computers some of the time then other computers other times when there all on?
[21:04] <Safe> eut, it's a little tricky for me since I dual-boot, makes it kinda hard to troubleshoot.
[21:04] <Safe> I can ping myself however.
[21:04] <Grok4242> wolter: SSH is the soul of Linux
[21:04] <Grok4242> wolter: Or maybe the cardio system at least.
[21:04] <Antioch> I'm trying to add a new set of smiley themes to Pidgin. Ive both dragged the tar.gz file into the smiley themes window, as well as pressing the add button and giving it the file-name. Neither method works. I've tried this for many different smiley themes and always the same result. How can I add new smiley themes to Pidgin?
[21:04] <[biabia]> chuckc if you dont have them partitioned or mounted what makes you think one of them is failing
[21:04] <wolter> Grok4242, hah
[21:04] <Antioch> Thank you!
[21:04] <Blended> Can anyone tell me how to enable the 3d cube desktop effect... i've tried all of the tutorials for it and none of them work
[21:04] <eut> Renfield, i dont think i can help much. but have you done a disk check to make sure the install disk is not corrupt? other than that i dont know :/
[21:04] <Renfield> eut: I've started over again, and now it is in "loading additional components". It is going very slowly.
[21:04] <eut> Safe, have you tried "sudo dhclient3"?
[21:05] <WebcamWonder> Antioch: ##pidgin might be more helpful
[21:05] <Safe> No, I have a static IP though.
[21:05] <eut> Renfield, i noticed this past week that some repos were going very slowly.. may that could have something to do with it
[21:05] <Grok4242> Blended: What brand video card do you have?  Nvidia, ATI, Intel, etc?
[21:05] <Renfield> eut: I did not. This is a minimal CD. Is there a way for me to get the MD5 sum for this? I could not find it.
[21:05] <Blended> well had an onboard nvidia but installed an ati radeaon
[21:05] <Antioch> WebcamWonder,  Ill give it a shot, thanks.
[21:05] <Blended> radeon*
[21:06] <Renfield> eut: Oh? Slow enough to time out?
[21:06] <shwan> Brando753: you maybe need to read the samba howto and check nmbd is up and runnig fine
[21:06] <eut> Renfield, probably not that slow
[21:06] <ktron> I'm trying to remap USB gamepad keys to keyboard keys-- any ideas for what app I should be looking for?
[21:06] <Brando753> now does samba have to be on the sending or reciving end?
[21:06] <etech> hi again
[21:06] <Fractured> ktron joy2key
[21:06] <Grok4242> Blended: I'm out.  Really easy on Intel...not bad with Nvidia.  ATI should be easier than NVidia but I've never done it.
[21:06] <pronoy> WebcamWonder: thanks i'll give it a shot
[21:06] <etech> why is firefox not upgraded to 3.0.6 in intrepid?
[21:07] <Kryzler> what do I do if I've forgotten the root password?
[21:07] <tritium> Kryzler: you didn't.  The root account is locked.
[21:07] <spass> Kryzler: you're doomed
[21:07] <Renfield> Blended: Don't PM me.
[21:07] <[biabia]> Kryzler: the root word in ubuntu is disabled by default unless you enabled it
[21:07] <shwan> Kryzler: ailsafe mode , and then terminal , or command line , passwd root
[21:07] <Grok4242> etech: FF lets the distributor handle upgrades on Linux systems.
[21:07] <[biabia]> root account
[21:08] <Blended> Sorry
[21:08] <Kryzler> cheers guys
[21:08] <etech> ok but there are security fixes in fx 3.0.6
[21:08] <benjamin_> I'm having major issues installing Ubuntu Server x64 on my pc
[21:08] <[biabia]> Kryzler: you can get a root prompt with sudo -s
[21:08] <Safe> So, noone in here who can help a poor soul get his internet (static IP) to work?
[21:08] <shwan> Kryzler: again , reboot and choose safe mode in grub boot ,  and then terminal , or command line , passwd root or you username
[21:09] <Blended> well can anyone help me get my 3d desktop working?
[21:09] <Renfield> benjamin_: Welcome to the club.
[21:09] <toni_> ciao
[21:09] <robbe-> Hello, I have a problem compiling gcc in my homedir (and installing in my homedir) on ubuntu. I use a shell script to autmate the task (it first builds binutils, then gcc, then newlib). This works on my debian and gentoo installs, but not on ubuntu. For I don't know what reason, on ubuntu, a write to /var/backups/ is attempted
[21:09] <tritium> [biabia], Kryzler: sudo -i, rather
[21:09] <robbe-> help ? :-)
[21:09] <Grok4242> etech: If Ubuntu hasn't provided an upgrade I don't know why.
[21:09] <eut> Safe, have you tried manually editing /etc/network/interfaces?
[21:09] <benjamin_> i keep going through a Debootstrap warning
[21:09] <Safe> eut, yup, that's the only way I've done it.
[21:09] <Brando753> why does my laptop show nothing under network but my net book shows everything?
[21:09] <etech> in intrepid is still firefox 3.0.5
[21:09] <eut> Safe, paste your interfaces
[21:09] <chrismurf> I put together an Ubuntu package for a library that's not in Ubuntu at the moment -- what's the "right place" to store the /debian/ folder, and how do I start the process of getting it into Universe / elsewhere?
[21:09] <meoblast001> screw it i'll return the stupid adapter
[21:09] <Grok4242> benjamin_:  Are you trying to install actual 64bit version of Ubuntu or just the normal version on a 64bit processor?
[21:09] <meoblast001> crap wont work
[21:09] <Safe> eut, in a moment.
[21:09] <[biabia]> well sudo -i is root with root environment, sudo -s is root with current user environment
[21:09] <nickrud> etech, the way ubuntu picks up security fixes is by backporting the fixes to the ff that's provided; the release number doesn't change. you can look at the changelogs in /usr/share/doc/firefox/
[21:09] <Blended> *sigh*
[21:10] <benjamin_> 64bit on vista64 via virtualbox
[21:10] <eut> Renfield, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-November/164271.html
[21:10] <benjamin_> Grok4242:64bit on vista64 via virtualbox
[21:10] <shwan> Brando753: How should we know, I think broadcasting a HostName on the network can take some time , reboot all other pcs while the one sharing to other is on
[21:10] <Grok4242> benjamin_: If at all possible I would recommend the 32bit version.
[21:10] <etech> nickrud, but there weren't firefox upgrades since 3.0.6 was released
[21:11] <Grok4242> benjamin_: Are you planning on giving the virtual machine more than 4GB of memory?
[21:11] <shwan> Brando753: do all pcs have ubuntu installed ?
[21:11] <slyyf> Can somebody please explain to me why suddenly scd0 dissapeared?  PLEASE!
[21:11] <Grok4242> benjamin_:  Even if you do are you planning on running a single process that needs more than 2GB of memory?
[21:11] <tritium> slyyf: I stole it
[21:11] <ortsvorsteher> !details | slyyf
[21:11] <nickrud> etech, and I have to backtrack on that, the numbers have been following the security releases for firefox
[21:12] <tritium> slyyf: without giving any additional details, how on earth do you expect someone to answer your question?
[21:12] <slyyf> ortsvorsteher: about a month or so ago I updated my kernel, ever since then dvd playback has not worked..today I decided to look into it..and the device itself (scd0) is gone..completly..and dmesg says nothing about a dvd drive.
[21:12] <|Z_E_R_O|> ola
[21:12] <Renfield> eut: Thanks, but that is not the md5sum that I have.
[21:12] <nkei0> Okay, so I reinstalled 8.10 again and this time my wireless isn't working.  I'm attempting to use the acerhk (acer hotkeys) dealio...  I've tried using the tarball from the authors website but I keep managing to get errors, I've now downloaded the source from synaptic, what do I do from there?

[21:12] <benjamin_> Grok4242:  Ill download it now, but what do I do about this version that won't work
[21:13] <alaz> Anyone know how to disable the networkmanager? I dont need it as Im more comfortale with /etc/network/interfaces :)
[21:13] <spass> slyyf: does it appears in bios ?
[21:13] <spass> *appear
[21:13] <slyyf> spass: yup, and works in windows
[21:13] <benjamin_> Grok4242:  Sorry I got kicked off.  Did you respond?
[21:13] <|Z_E_R_O|>  i need to set fn buttons of my new keyboard, i tried with keytouch-editor but it doesn't want to work, can u help me?
[21:13] <Renfield> eut: I believe I downloaded the amd64 version. I think it is odd that the Ubuntu web page strongly suggests that you verify the md5sum, and then doesn't publish it!
[21:13] <Grok4242> benjamin_:  Didn't VirtualBox just add 64bit support?  Are you running that version?
[21:13] <MaxRide> Quick question: How would you access an Ubuntu system as root if the one and only user logon is locked?
[21:13] <eut> Renfield, yes, very strange indeed...
[21:13] <timinator59> Hello all, I am a brand new ubuntu user and everything seems to have installed properly (ver 8.10) my only problem is when I go to get updates it is extraordinarily slow 1-10 kbs. from my other machines I can get 200-800 kbs. Is there anything I can do to get to a faster update site or anything?
[21:13] <Safe> eut, did you get that? http://pastebin.com/m576ec9e
[21:13] <sether> alaz, i uninstalled it by using synaptic
[21:13] <ortsvorsteher> MaxRide: try failsafe session
[21:13] <Safe> Stupid internet connection.
[21:14] <shwan> nkei0: there is allways howtos on the ubuntu wiki and google have you done searching for same problem ?
[21:14] <MaxRide> ortsvorsteher: Thanks!
[21:14] <benjamin_> Grok4242:yes I believe I am
[21:14] <eut> Renfield, try asking in #ubuntu-dev, maybe someone there will be able to help with the verification of your image
[21:14] <ortsvorsteher> you are welcome
[21:14] <Renfield> eut: Ok.
[21:14] <eut> Safe, yes
[21:14] <alaz> sether, im bonking my head allready :D. didnt think of such a easy way...
[21:14] <nkei0> shwan: Yeah, I'm looking through them now, I'm still a pretty large n00b and a bunch of the howto's aren't geared for my n00bness
[21:14] <shwan> Safe: do you mean the problem is not Ubuntu but you connection! or ?
[21:15] <Grok4242> benjamin_: I'd double check that.  If so I have not idea.  I just know the 32bit will work MUCH better in a lot of respects.  Linux is better than Windows with 64bit but the world is just not ready.
[21:15] <Safe> shwan, no, I meant just now that IRC lagged. ;)
[21:15] <sether> alaz, tell me if it works. there might be some dependency issues
[21:15] <Renfield> Ha! same problem. Fails downloading base-packages.
[21:15] <shwan> Safe: well why did you remove networkmanager ?
[21:15] <benjamin_> Grok4242:I think i have a copy of ubuntu server 32 thanks
[21:16] <eut> Safe, looks right to me. can you ping your nameserer? <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:16] <Safe> shwan, because it would reset my netmask to 25 nomatter what I did.
[21:16] <MaxRide> ortsvorsteher: Worked great! Got back into the system.
[21:16] <nickrud> etech, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/326077
[21:16] <Grok4242> benjamin_: It will use less memory too since 32bit code is smaller than 64bit
[21:16] <benjamin_> Grok4242:should I enable passthrough?
[21:16] <ortsvorsteher> MaxRide: good to read :)
[21:16] <Safe> eut, no, can't ping anything except myself. It doesn't say "no such host" any longer though, so a little progress.
[21:16] <Grok4242> benjamin_: I always do.  Makes it easier to try everything out.
[21:16] <benjamin_> Grok4242:I think my 8GB can handle it. hahaha
[21:16] <Safe> (had this trouble all day)
[21:17] <eut> Safe, what about your router?
[21:17] <eut> Safe, or the gateway
[21:17] <Safe> eut, don't have a router or gateway, it's wired directly to the wall.
[21:17] <yeniklasorr> I'm using synergy. I can not change screen with mouse movement from server pc to client pc. But I can change screen client to server. Do you know the problem?
[21:18] <nkei0> oh holy crap, my led just isn't working, haha apparently my wireless was on
[21:18] <eut> Safe, ahh... in that case i would say try to run dhclient3 and see if you can get a dynamic ip at least
[21:18] <nkei0> brb
[21:18] <Grok4242> Lets see if I'm built up enough Karma: Anyone know an alternate source for the ntp package?  I get a 404 when trying to install from the time control panel or from the command line.  Doesn't show in Add Programs at all
[21:18] <ortsvorsteher> !language | nkei0
[21:18] <Safe> eut, it won't work with a dynamic IP. :D The ISP give us our IP and we punch it in, then it works. (as it does in windows)
[21:18] <etech> nickrud, ok, but i really do not understand why it must be tested so long...on windows i click check for updates in firefox and it installs 3.0.6 and it works
[21:19] <prahal_> hi how do I set the swap partition on intrepid (am I supposed to install s2ram/s2disk or should I add a parameter to grub for the kernel or ... else ?
[21:19] <benjamin_> Grok4242: So far so good.   Thanks for your help!
[21:19] <Grok4242> etech: Fedora does the same....takes a while compared to the upstream FF releases
[21:20] <Mood> Anyone know how to auto connect to wifi if a connection drops? I have to connect manually in the dialog that pops up. I already have "Connect Automatically" checked off.
[21:20] <alaz> sether, worked nicely.
[21:20] <Mood> I have a desktop, Ubuntu 8.10
[21:20] <Grok4242> etchy: You can always install the newer version of FF directly from Mozilla.  It's a little quirky but not much
[21:20] <sether> =)
[21:20] <welly> hey all. I'm just about to install ubuntu 8.10 server on my VPS. I'm thinking about installing webmin with it. Anyone use webmin? Any pros/cons?
[21:20] <Safe> eut, I've reinstalled ubuntu to a fresh install just to be sure, and I configured it manually, but still won't work. Should I try with a 32bit version maybe?
[21:20] <|Z_E_R_O|> nobody can hgelp me with keytouch?
[21:21] <guntbert> !webmin | welly
[21:21] <shwan> Safe: an advise Read many howtos you dont need to follow them , but you will learn alot then you can choose one that fits you problem , check this out too
[21:21] <prahal_> welly, not an expert but webmin has been out of debian/ubuntu for  long .
[21:21] <welly> ok thanks :)
[21:21] <welly> is there anything alternative?
[21:21] <Safe> shwan, I have, I've followed a tutorial and examples on each file.
[21:21] <Redhammer_the_Ol> hi I have a problem with gnome, it has gone totally unstable on me, the fail safe and my normal mode both just go haywire all of sudden, all panels frozen, alt+f2 does nothing, only thing i can do is ctrl+alt+backspace and go into kde
[21:21] <benjamin_> Does anyone know if you can tell Ubuntu Server to use a particular drive not in the partition.  Like a external harddrive

[21:21] <shwan> Safe: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html
[21:22] <welly> I've been admin-ing my server from the bash for some time, which I'm fine with but meh.. if i can make my life easier
[21:22] <welly> cheers Sylphid
[21:22] <eut> Safe, are you sure network manager and network manager dispatcher are not running? ps aux | grep -i network
[21:22] <robbe-> Hi, I have a problem compiling (and installing, both in home dir) gcc as unprivileged user on ubuntu (current release, freshly updated). I use a shell script to autmate the task (it first builds binutils, then gcc, then newlib). This works on my debian and gentoo installs, but not on ubuntu. For I don't know what reason, on ubuntu, a write to /var/backups/ is attempted, and those files are writable for root only. On the other distro's the directory isn't e
[21:22] <benjamin_> Grok4242: That didn't work
[21:22] <guntbert> welly: it helps to read the complete statement from ubottu :)
[21:22] <Safe> eut, what if they are?
[21:22] <Grok4242> benjamin_: Where did it stop this time?
[21:23] <benjamin_> same place
[21:23] <sheena1> my firefox keeps covering over my task bars. I'm running Intrepid. I've tried the fix I found on the ubuntu forum, changing my localstore file, and its still happening. help?
[21:23] <Safe> Is it mandatory to put in network and broadcast?
[21:23] <danaman5> hi, whenever I log into Ubuntu for the first time after turning on my computer, gnome-settings-daemon fails to launch, so the interface and everything doesn't have any of the ubuntu enhancements.    Any ideas on how to fix this?
[21:23] <welly> heh.. i see. can't be installed on 8.10
[21:23] <Grok4242> benjamin_: I'd try it myself but I'm running on a tin can and a few light bulbs for memory right now so I can't.
[21:23] <eut> Safe, you could try shuting them down, from my experience they tend to screw with things. 'sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/2... stop'
[21:23] <shwan> Safe: then it will override you configuration somehow
[21:24] <benjamin_> Grok4242: Thats fine.  I could have made a copy of x64 again
[21:24] <welly> I wonder if it's worth me installing 8.04 instead then
[21:24] <welly> i'm not running anything clever on my server. just a few php/drupal sites
[21:24] <|Z_E_R_O|> danaman5: i think it's a x server problem but i don't know how to fix
[21:24] <guntbert> robbe-: you shouldn't need to compile it yourself, there is build-essential
[21:24] <Safe> Uhm, it seems I have two networks card on this computer. Maybe the second one is messing it up? How do I disable eth1?
[21:24] <benjamin_> Grok4242: Are you running virtualbox?
[21:24] <danaman5> zero: it's odd that it works if I log out and back in though
[21:25] <guntbert> !info build-essential robbe-
[21:25] <robbe-> guntbert: I am compiling it for cross compilation, writing software for an arm board :)
[21:25] <owner> does ubuntu have anti-virus?
[21:25] <robbe-> ok
[21:25] <robbe-> I'm am building an ARM gcc for cross compiling
[21:25] <guntbert> robbe-: ok - I give up :)
[21:25] <shwan> owner: Yes and NO
[21:25] <|Z_E_R_O|> i don't know sorry
[21:25] <robbe-> :)
[21:25] <Grok4242> benjamin_:  I run it normally but right now I've had a driver failure and I'm running off a hacked live USB on an old machine.
[21:25] <banisterfiend> hey how do i install a theme for ubuntu?
[21:25] <banisterfiend> a new theme*
[21:25] <banisterfiend> desktop theme* :)
[21:25] <Grok4242> benjamin_: Drive failure rather.
[21:25] <IntuitiveNipple> robbe-: Have you tried an strace to determine where the fault lies?
[21:26] <shwan> owner: it has but for windows progs you maby have on your pc , not for linux natives
[21:26] <benjamin_> Grok4242: Do you remember what your "General Settings" were?
[21:26] <owner> is there a solution?
[21:26] <robbe-> IntuitiveNipple: well the fault is that a normal user doesn't have permission in that folder, but I wonder WHY it wants to write something there in the first place
[21:26] <Grok4242> benjamin_:  Sorry...been a while since I looked
[21:27] <DIL> !clam-av
[21:27] <shwan> owner: what do you need exactly so I can answer you
[21:27] <meoblast001> anyone here have a bluetooth headset?
[21:27] <robbe-> IntuitiveNipple: on my other distro's there is no mention of that directory and it all works :-)
[21:27] <silentContender> Can anyone help me m4a files on a ipod nano gen 2?
[21:27] <benjamin_> Grok4242: Thats fine... Thanks for your help
[21:27] <robbe-> IntuitiveNipple: so I guess my basic question is: why does this build process differ on an ubuntu install
[21:27] <sheena1> on Intrepid, firefox covers taskbars sometimes. . Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum, changing the localstore file, and its still happening. help?
[21:27] <owner> well, if there are viruses that can effect windows apps..what's the solution?
[21:27] <Chubbz> @SilentContender are the audio files from the itunes store?
[21:27] <IntuitiveNipple> robbe-: Is the Ubuntu user that owns the builder a member of the "admin" group?
[21:28] <alaz> owner, you dont need it
[21:28] <spass> owner: clamav
[21:28] <meoblast001> anyone?
[21:28] <Safe> Well, I guess I'll just give up this thing.
[21:28] <shwan> sheena1: Compiz setting manager can help you , find workarounds and disable the fist option
[21:28] <silentContender> @Chubbz I ripped them off of CDs using Sound Juicer
[21:28] <robbe-> IntuitiveNipple: I don't want to write in the folder in the first place
[21:28] <IntuitiveNipple> robbe-: Also, if you can figure out the exact file/path that fails from strace, and the error returned, we might be able to figure out why and how to workaround it
[21:28] <sheena1> shawn, where is compiz setting manager?
[21:29] <robbe-> IntuitiveNipple: I think we're not 100% talking about the same issue, may I pm you to clarify ?
[21:29] <Flannel> !ccsm | sheena1
[21:29] <Chubbz> @silentContender install the package 'gtkpod' and you should be able to use rhythmbox to transfer your files
[21:29] <IntuitiveNipple> robbe-:  sure
[21:29] <shwan> sheena1: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:30] <alaz> sheena1, try fusion-icon too :)
[21:30] <silentContender> Chubbz, I managed to transfer the m4a files to the Ipod.  It recognizes the music, but it just skips them while playing
[21:30] <G-Bleezy> Will the memory test just run forever if you let it??
[21:30] <banisterfiend> what is the file extensino for  a 'theme package' file in ubuntu?
[21:30] <owner> what setting controls mouse sensitivity cause I can barely type anymore and it clicks for me
[21:30] <sheena1> shwan: getting compiz now. what is the next step?
[21:30] <shwan> sheena1: yes, fusion-icon is good too
[21:30] <sheena1> alaz, what's that?
[21:31] <Chubbz> @silentContender cant help you there, srry
[21:31] <silentContender> Thanks, anyways.  Can any one else help?
[21:31] <phyburn> how can I change the defualt kernel to a older kernel?
[21:31] <alaz> sheena1, if you install that i think you get all the deps for compiz fusion to work
[21:31] <G-Bleezy> google it
[21:32] <shwan> sheena1: preferences-- compizconfig -- workarounds and then in that you can disable legacy fullscreen support
[21:32] <silentContender> The only thing I can add is iTunes reads their m4a files as ACC and my m4a as m4a
[21:32] <alaz> sheena1, and the icon you when executing fusion-icon lets you configure everything.
[21:32] <guntbert> phyburn: you mean in the grub menu?
[21:32] <phyburn> yeah I'm sorry
[21:32] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all, light question today : Looking for some links to some good & complete themes to try for Gnome on 8.10.  Please share :)
[21:32] <exodus_ms> I'm unsure if itunes works in ubuntu. I use the lastfm client found in the repos, when streaming songs from my lastfm account in the client application on ubuntu there is an option to purchase the song from itunes?
[21:32] <nectar> can somebody send me the output of  cat /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>.jinfo
[21:33] <sheena1> shi found it in "system" "preferences" and it opened a window. i don't see anything about workarounds
[21:33] <Chubbz> @silentContender so your using itunes in wine?
[21:33] <shwan> phyburn: have you looked att grub howto ?
[21:33] <silentContender> Chubbz, No I'm dual booting Ubuntu and XP
[21:33] <gmathews> Hi, how do I install amarok 2 on ubuntu?
[21:33] <yeniklasorr> I'm using synergy. I can not change screen with mouse movement from server pc to client pc. But I can change screen client to server. Do you know the problem?
[21:33] <guntbert> phyburn: system/administration/startUpManager
[21:33] <Tobias2200> anyone here familiar with wlan under ubuntu? :-/
[21:33] <G-Bleezy> google
[21:33] <mattheas> Hi, I upgraded my kernal and now grub boots to the new kernel. When I boot to the new kernel, when it hits the loading screen it stops at the end. How do I remove the latest installation of the kernel I have?
[21:34] <G-Bleezy> mattheas i have that same problem...kind of...
[21:34] <shwan> sheena1: have you started compizconfig ?
[21:34] <sheena1> shwan, I found the workaround stuff. there's a bunch of check boxes. which ones to i want checked?
[21:34] <mattheas> When I force grub to boot to the older kernel it works fine though.
[21:34] <exodus_ms> mattheas, you can select to use the previous kernel at the grub menu
[21:34] <G-Bleezy> yea same here!
[21:34] <owner> what's the best ubuntu app site?
[21:34] <mattheas> exodus_ms, I know
[21:34] <Tobias2200> ugh this is driving me mad :S
[21:34] <G-Bleezy> mattheas wht does it say?
[21:34] <deany> edit menu.lst and set deafult
[21:34] <mrwes_> www.getdeb.com
[21:34] <mattheas> I want to remove the new one
[21:34] <G-Bleezy> for the error
[21:34] <mattheas> It works fine
[21:35] <exodus_ms> mattheas, you don;t need to remove the new one dude
[21:35] <sheena1> shwan, they are mostly already checked, including one that says "firefox menu fix" and a bunch of other ones
[21:35] <Chubbz> @mattheas do you have a graphics card?
[21:35] <shwan> sheena1:  uncheck the first one lgacy fullscreen
[21:35] <or4n_> Hey, how can I change Gnome volume OSD pictures?
[21:35] <G-Bleezy> Hey does anyone know if the memory test you can run at boot, if it ever ends??
[21:35] <tiredbones> My current release is 8.04 and I would like to upgrade to 8.01 using synaptic, but I'm unable to change the selection in Setting -> Preference - general. Can I do a dist-upgrade using synaptic?
[21:36] <gmathews> Hi, how do I install amarok 2 on ubuntu 8.10 anyone?
[21:36] <exodus_ms> G-Bleezy, how much ram
[21:36] <G-Bleezy> 512mb
[21:36] <deany> G-Bleezy, not that i know
[21:36] <G-Bleezy> it's going on 2.5 hours
[21:36] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> hello
[21:36] <sheena1> shwan, is that it? just uncheck it and it should be fixed?
[21:36] <Chubbz> @G-Bleezy it doesnt stop
[21:36] <G-Bleezy> with over 2500 errors
[21:36] <deany> G-Bleezy, as long as it completes 1 full pass, thats enough
[21:36] <zleap> tiredbones, i have just logged in to 8.04 with a 8.10 cd in the drive,  upon login it detected a volume with packafges on and offered to open package manager,  perhaps that will work for you
[21:36] <G-Bleezy> are the errors really bad??\
[21:36] <shwan> sheena1: YES i tinhk , it did it for me
[21:36] <mrwes_> er..that's getdeb.net
[21:36] <deany> G-Bleezy, i`d think
[21:37] <sheena1> shwan, thanks. i'll check it out!
[21:37] <G-Bleezy> really...
[21:37] <G-Bleezy> and theres no way to fix them problem
[21:37] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> dpkg takes too much time in "Reading database...". is there any wya to speed it up?
[21:37] <G-Bleezy> probably except get new ram
[21:37] <shwan> Kamus_H_Zwisch: no
[21:37] <guntbert> G-Bleezy: the memory test doesn't stop until you stop it
[21:37] <Chubbz> @G-Bleezy get new ram
[21:37] <exodus_ms> gmathews, I don't think amarok 2 is available in the repos yet, you will need to find a source to add to your sources.list or find a download somewhere
[21:37] <ian[2]> Anyone have any suggestions? I'm running a fresh install of 8.10 Server and am trying to install subversion.. When I run apt-get install subversion I get "E: Couldn't find package subversion" .. surely this is simple, but I'm lost...
[21:37] <tiredbones> zleap, I was hoping not to burn a cd.
[21:37] <zleap> ah
[21:37] <benjamin_> gmathews: try this.  Didn't get a full chance to read it.  but might be some help. http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=15866.0
[21:37] <noogie> whats subversion
[21:37] <deany> memory isnt something you can fix
[21:37] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> hm
[21:37] <_VIM_> !latest | gmathews (and this is why...)
[21:37] <zleap> thought you had a cd
[21:37] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> dammit =/
[21:37] <shwan> ian[2]: try aptitude instead ant use tab
[21:37] <silentContender> Why do m4a song ripped off a CD get skipped by my Ipod Nano gen 2?
[21:38] <Chubbz> @ian[2] you spelled the name of the package wrong
[21:38] <nickrud> !sources | ian[2]
[21:38] <sheena1> shwan, it's still doing it. I've figured out that it will reliably happen when i click a link in thunderbird that opens in firefo, then switch to firefox.
[21:38] <deany> silentContender, should be mp4?
[21:38] <nickrud> ian[2], the last link --- oh, server
[21:38] <dayo_> !svn | noogie
[21:38] <deany> silentContender, no idea, dont use ipod
[21:38] <Chubbz> @silentContender if you could convert the files to mp3, it'd work
[21:39] <nickrud> ian[2], compare your /etc/apt/sources.list to http://aphroneo.net/intrepid-sources.list , you probably have a problem with the lines that have main in them
[21:39] <ugliefrog> can someone look at this and tell me what i need to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/115782/
[21:39] <ian[2]> @Chubbz -- I spelled subversion wrong?
[21:39] <silentContender> Chubbz, I guess that might be the only way around it.
[21:39] <ian[2]> Thanks for the info -- I'll check the links provided and the sources.list mentioned
[21:39] <silentContender> Chubbz, Is there a program that can mass convert m4a to mp3?
[21:40] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, what are you trying to install
[21:40] <ugliefrog> xvidcap
[21:40] <IntuitiveNipple> silentContender: flaac and ffmpeg via a pipe
[21:40] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms"xvidcap
[21:40] <Chubbz> @silentContender no idea, check the google
[21:40] <silentContender> IntuitiveNipple, I'm not quite following you.
[21:41] <WebcamWonder> !info xvidcap
[21:41] <deany> silentContender, soundkonverter (with a K not a C)
[21:41] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, aptitude install xvidcap ?
[21:41] <aboSamoor1> I really want your help my kernel 2.6.27 can not boot from the live cd according to this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/115780/ ?
[21:41] <deany> best one ive tried.
[21:41] <IntuitiveNipple> silentContender: hang on... I've an article someplace on MP3 > MB4 ... it is the reverse process you want I think
[21:42] <sheena1> shwan, it's still doing it. I've figured out that it will reliably happen when i click a link in thunderbird that opens in firefo, then switch to firefox.
[21:42] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: its not the lastest and that version for some reason wont work
[21:42] <deany> the one closest to easy cd-da on windows
[21:42] <tiredbones> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto, accorden to these instruction I should beable to do a dist-upgrade. Are these instruction out of date?
[21:42] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: wait i havent tried aptitude
[21:42] <WebcamWonder> tiredbones: Do you want to upgrade?
[21:42] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, thats the sam try this   sudo apt-cache search xvidcap
[21:42] <deany> outputs to whatever you want, bitrates etc.. and supports ID3 tags
[21:42] <[T]ank> is it possible in an autorun.inf to have multiple menu options?
[21:43] <ugliefrog> ok
[21:43] <Flannel> !upgrade | tiredbones
[21:43] <tiredbones> WebcamWonder, I want to do a dist-upgrade
[21:43] <jimdog> Anyone any good with zenity scripts? need to pipe output into find command. eg output of list script ($ans1) gives me "disk,disk-1", when I then do find /media/{$ans1} -name ".jpg" it returns the error find '/media/{disk,disk-1} not found despite this working if I type it directly into the shell. Any ideas anyone?
[21:43] <jelly12gen> giu: just google it
[21:43] <WebcamWonder> tiredbones: Please look at Flannel (ubottu)'s links then
[21:43] <mattheas> k, sorry
[21:43] <mattheas> gf was calling
[21:43] <Flannel> tiredbones: Those instructions are specific to upgrading.  Nothing on that page actually mentions upgrading from version to version.
[21:43] <mattheas> so did anyone figure it out?
[21:43] <Funzo> hi everyone
[21:43] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, dont know if this is the version your looking for --> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81535
[21:44] <thiebaude> Funzo: hi
[21:44] <Funzo> guys, could i have some help about rtorrent and how to config it?
[21:44] <Funzo> i have some questions :$
[21:44] <silentContender> IntuitiveNipple, Thanks but I think I'll try soundKonverter.  It sound pretty simple.
[21:44] <Funzo> hi thiebaude
[21:44] <DIL> install gtk2.0 and the other dependecy
[21:44] <guntbert> !ask | Funzo
[21:44] <mattheas> I upgraded the kernel and it won't boot. If I use the old kernel it works fine. how do I remove the new kernel or solve the problem
[21:44] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: thats where i got it from
[21:44] <jimdog> any zenity hackers in?
[21:45] <[T]ank> also... how can I enable ubuntu to use autorun.inf? I get an error saying "cannot find autorun program"
[21:45] <guntbert> !ot | jimdog
[21:45] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, what about here --> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xvidcap/   there is a version form december 2008?
[21:45] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: and when i i try to make i get that long message in the paste bin i posted
[21:45] <WebcamWonder> mattheas: Search for existing bugs on launchpad, and if not found, report as a regression?
[21:45] <spass> [T]ank: autorun is a M$ idea
[21:45] <Funzo> are there any rules for copy paste? if i have a text?
[21:45] <tiredbones> Flannel, look at the section titled, How to keep your system up-to-date, including the Kernel
[21:45] <mattheas> so there's no way to just remove the kernel upgrade
[21:45] <WebcamWonder> !pastebin | Funzo
[21:45] <DIL> mattheas: try unintalling from synatptic ie remove
[21:45] <Flannel> mattheas: The easiest thing to do is just use default: saved, and then append savedefault to your kernel you want to boot to
[21:45] <nickrud> mattheas, try  sudo apt-get install --reinstall <broken kernel>
[21:45] <thiebaude> !autorun
[21:45] <mattheas> or get grub to boot to an old kernel?
[21:46] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, try downloading the .deb
[21:46] <jimdog> kind of ubuntu related as the folder structure only works in U. But thanks, I'll head there now :-)
[21:46] <Flannel> tiredbones: Yes, but you're trying to go from 8.04 to 8.10, correct?
[21:46] <[T]ank> spass: yeah but ubuntu attempts to use it
[21:46] <WebcamWonder> exodus_ms: I believe the way currently kernel upgrades are handled is making a virtual package depend on the latest kernel. You could always make the working kernel the default boot option
[21:46] <nickrud> mattheas, which one broke, -11?
[21:46] <WebcamWonder> !who | mattheas
[21:46] <tiredbones> Flannel, that is what is dist-upgrade should do.
[21:47] <exodus_ms> WebcamWonder, ?
[21:47] <mattheas> nickrud, I believe so
[21:47] <nickrud> mattheas, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic  first, that may fix it.
[21:47] <WebcamWonder> exodus_ms: Oops. Sorry
[21:47] <exodus_ms> WebcamWonder, pass that along to mattheas
[21:47] <WebcamWonder> mattheas: I believe the way currently kernel upgrades are handled is making a virtual package depend on the latest kernel. You could always make the working kernel the default boot option
[21:47] <Mood> What does "System Setting" do in NetworkManager?
[21:47] <Flannel> tiredbones: No, that's not what a dist-upgrade does.  dist-upgrade will bring you up to date while also installing new packages (such as the new kernel), while this command *can* be used to go between versions, it won't by itself.
[21:47] <Mood> What is "System Setting" in Network-Manager?
[21:48] <Funzo> this is my rtorrent.rc file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115783/ , does it look okey? I want it to have unlimited resources and so. is 0 unlimited for the commands? :/
[21:48] <mattheas> WebcamWonder, How do I go about doing that. Maybe I just didn't see it in grub
[21:48] <Flannel> tiredbones: Synaptic can upgrade you from 8.04 to 8.10 in the same way you can use apt-get to do so.  Really, you ought to be following the instructions on the Upgrade Page that Ubottu gave you.
[21:48] <pzy> i'm using jaunty and since 2-3 days i cannot login to kde4.2 .xsession-errors gives a lot of org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply errors
[21:48] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, there is a .deb file here, did you try that   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xvidcap/
[21:48] <tiredbones> Flannel,  thanks
[21:48] <Flannel> pzy: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks.
[21:48] <guntbert> !jaunty | pzy
[21:48] <nickrud> pzy, ask in #ubuntu+1 , they handle jaunty till release
[21:48] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: Error: Dependencies not satisfiable error
[21:49] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, your missing gtk2?
[21:49] <thiebaude> tiredbones: run update-manager in a terminal
[21:49] <WebcamWonder> mattheas: /boot/grub/menu.lst, you can change the grub menu there. I am not quite sure how one would set the default option for grub, but someone in this channel might help
[21:49] <mattheas> k
[21:49] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: Error: I dont know now..it said something about libra...then i couldnt see the rst
[21:49] <thiebaude> tiredbones: if you wanted to upgrade that way
[21:50] <tiredbones> thiebaude, Thanks, i'll look into that
[21:50] <thiebaude> yw, tiredbones
[21:50] <pzy> thanks
[21:50] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, try make again and note the dependencies it says are missing
[21:50] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: Error: from the dab file?
[21:50] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: Error: from the deb file?
[21:51] <sheena1> on Intrepid, firefox covers taskbars sometimes. . Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum (changing the localstore file), and tried compiz. help?
[21:51] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, no, from the binaries you have for it, like before, but trying to install the .deb should have listed the dependencies you needed
[21:52] <juan_> OLA
[21:52] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: ok ill retry it and writr them down
[21:52] <juan_> OLA
[21:52] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, what version are you trying to install
[21:52] <guntbert> !es | juan_
[21:52] <_VIM_> !away > JamesMowery
[21:52] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: amd64
[21:53] <tiredbones> Flannel, I reread the pointer you gave and it seems that will work. thanks again.
[21:53] <Funzo> did anyone look at my rtorrent config? :$ I want some help... http://paste.ubuntu.com/115783/ that's my config. if I want rtorrent so use as much bandwidth and resources as it needs, is that right? max/minimum peers, what does that mean exactly?
[21:53] <ezzieyguywuf> i have a question that a little bit of googling didn't answer satisfactorily: if linux is open-source, why isn't it easier to write viruses for it?
[21:53] <phanter> hi there... can I install gdm without gnome? Because, when I type "aptitude install gdm" then it wants to install gnome fully
[21:53] <imdeveloper> hi there, i need codec  for *.avi
[21:53] <Flannel> ezzieyguywuf: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the better place to ask that
[21:53] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, are you trying to install the i386 versions
[21:53] <imdeveloper> what im going to install?
[21:53] <ezzieyguywuf> ok
[21:54] <chuckc> is there a way to completely remove a raid i have setup with mdadm.  I stop the raid, --zero-superblock all the disks, but still when i go to create a new raid, mdadm says the disks already belong to a raid.
[21:54] <spass> imdeveloper: w32codecs
[21:54] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: no the amd64
[21:54] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, what version of xvidcap
[21:55] <anom01y_2> any suggestions on switching from kde to xfce ?
[21:55] <aboSamoor1> Funzo: what is the problem I can not see any problem in the config file ?
[21:55] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: 1.1.7
[21:55] <exodus_ms> anom01y_2, install xfce and choose it form the 'session' at the log in
[21:56] <anom01y_2> do I just install xfce4 and start using it ? or should I change some system settings also ?
[21:56] <thiebaude> anom01y_2: it's much more lightweight to go from kde to xfce
[21:56] <anom01y_2> ahh
[21:56] <blondel> ciao
[21:56] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: it says error dependecies libavcodec52 and libravcodec-unstipped-52
[21:56] <thiebaude> anom01y_2: i also use fluxbox
[21:56] <anom01y_2> how do I get rid of the kubuntu startup bar graph, when I reset the computer ?
[21:57] <Funzo> aboSamoor1, I don't get any peers :S when i mark a torrent and to see the peer list it is empty. but i know there are some peers... what could the problem be?
[21:57] <anom01y_2> !fluxbox
[21:57] <yoyit2> I need some help im unnung ubuntu 8.10 and i want to connect my xbox to my computer with a ethernet cord so my xbox 360 has insternet to play online how do you do this
[21:57] <thiebaude> thanks
[21:57] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: binaries when i try make has differnet errors
[21:57] <lucax> anom01y_2: sudo update-alternatives --config ubuntu-usplash.so or something like that try pressing tabe to autocomplete the sentece and ull get to what u want to do
[21:57] <yoyit2> I need some help im unnung ubuntu 8.10 and i want to connect my xbox to my computer with a ethernet cord so my xbox 360 has insternet to play online how do you do this
[21:57] <blondel> !list
[21:58] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, did you try and install libavcodec52 and libravcodec-unstipped-52
[21:58] <giovani> yoyit2: you'd have to set up your ubuntu box as a router
[21:58] <yoyit2> giovani: how do you do that
[21:58] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: no not yet ...from command line or synaptic
[21:58] <giovani> that's not terribly simple -- why do you want to plug your xbox directly into your ubuntu box?
[21:58] <yoyit2> giovani:  what do you mean bye ubuntu box
[21:59] <aboSamoor1> Funzo: are you behind a router ?
[21:59] <giovani> yoyit2: "box" is slang for computer
[21:59] <giovani> yoyit2: do you not have a router already?
[21:59] <sheena1> on Intrepid, firefox covers taskbars sometimes. . Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum (changing the localstore file), and tried compiz. help?
[21:59] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, take a look here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/amd64/xvidcap/1.1.6-0.1ubuntu3
[21:59] <yoyit2> giovani: ok how do i set it up as a router
[21:59] <Funzo> aboSamoor1, yes, open firewall, open ports. i have used wine+utorrent before
[21:59] <Funzo> i know that works
[21:59] <yoyit2> giovani: i am useing a laptop ya i have a router
[21:59] <skate2> is there a command that shows all the privileges a user has on the whole system?
[21:59] <giovani> yoyit2: it's not a simple process -- I'm trying to evaluate your situation, because there are probably better ways to accomplish what you want
[22:00] <deany> Funzo, transmission however simple, works for me
[22:00] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, you might need to install this xvidcap_1.1.6-0.1ubuntu3_amd64.deb
[22:00] <giovani> yoyit2: what's preventing you from plugging in your xbox directly into your router?
[22:00] <aboSamoor1> Funzo: are you sure that the ports open in the router are in the same range as rtorrent ?
[22:00] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: ill try that
[22:00] <lucax> if theres any developer here, it would be nice if you guys change the horrible HUMAN them! thanks ;)
[22:00] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, the download for that .deb is in the lin I just posted at launchpad
[22:00] <yoyit2> giovani:  im not near the router or any ethernet ports im useing my laptop because its wireless it worked with vista
[22:00] <cjae> !googleearth
[22:00] <Funzo> yup positive. but i have downloaded one torrent and it worked
[22:00] <giovani> yoyit2: a wireless ethernet bridge would really be the proper solution then
[22:01] <yoyit2> giovani: how would i do that
[22:01] <Funzo> but when it finished the peer list dissapeared, is that how it's supposed to be?
[22:01] <giovani> yoyit2: you would buy a wireless ethernet bridge -- I'm betting microsoft even sells them specially for the xbox, but any one sold by any networking company would work
[22:01] <thiebaude> cjae: kewl
[22:01] <adante> hi guys, is there a way i can either (a) disable reverse lookups in pam or (b) allow reverse lookups for wins?
[22:02] <yoyit2> giovani:  no what i want to do is plug my laptop to my xbox so i can play only i did it with vista without doing anything
[22:02] <cjae> ok I install google earth but it keeps crashing and complains about ttf-bitstream-vera not being installed? surely fonts aren't the reason for the crash? btw those fonts are on my system
[22:02] <skate2> how do you print an EOF character in vim?
[22:02] <giovani> yoyit2: you can do it that way, but it's not terribly simple, and, I'd advise against it -- someone else will have to guy you if you can't google for instructions
[22:03] <cjae> !kewl
[22:03] <ugliefrog> exodus_ms: installed but doesnt work.....I wonder if its because of the gtk 2.4 thing ..Dont know what that means tho
[22:03] <Funzo> im gonna go to rtorrents irc :P thanks anyways
[22:03] <yoyit2> giovani: i know its probly not simple and you guid me though the insturctions
[22:03] <SwirlBoy39> hi yaamak
[22:03] <yoyit2> giovani: can you guide me
[22:04] <giovani> yoyit2: no, because I advise against it
[22:04] <yoyit2> giovani:  why
[22:04] <giovani> maybe someone else will
[22:04] <giovani> because it's a bad solution to a simple problem
[22:04] <yoyit2> giovani:  why cant you
[22:05] <giovani> yoyit2: I'm not going to argue with you -- I told you why, bye
[22:05] <_VIM_> wont and cant are two different things yoyit2
[22:05] <yuka_> how to record audio (not using gnome)?
[22:05] <yuka_> (with a mic)
[22:05] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, you can try this --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/gtk2.0-examples
[22:05] <giovani> yuka_: you're looking for something console-based, or kde-based, or what?
[22:05] <yoyit2> _VIM_: what do you mean didnt he say it was possible
[22:05] <yuka_> giovani: console would be nice
[22:06] <yoyit2> giovani: why do you advise agianst it
[22:06] <_VIM_> yoyit2: nevermind
[22:06] <yuka_> giovani: i found sound-recorder but don't know how to use it.
[22:06] <giovani> yuka_: arecord will work
[22:06] <giovani> I don't know sound-recorder -- did you read the manpage?
[22:06] <giovani> yoyit2: I've already told you twice now
[22:07] <G-Bleezy> Hey how can i re-compile this new kernel? It's not booting right and i wanna try to just have it do it again to see if it can get it right...
[22:07] <yuka_> giovani: yes, didn't see example for usage.
[22:07] <yoyit2> _VIM_: i dont understand sorry but im confused so is it impossible
[22:07] <yuka_> giovani: what would u use for xubuntu>
[22:07] <exodus_ms> ugliefrog, or look in synaptic for gtk 2
[22:07] <giovani> yuka_: xubuntu isn't a desktop environment, so it doesn't have an impact on what application you use
[22:08] <prahal> ok I tried uswsusp ubuntu version .. and it is outdated, broken and not well integrated . What is the way hibernate is supposed to be configured under ubuntu
[22:08] <yoyit2> giovani: im sorry but i dont remember you telling me why
[22:08] <cjae> anyone
[22:08] <giovani> yoyit2: I did, twice, go read your logs
[22:08] <yuka_> giovani: so what would u recommend>
[22:08] <giovani> yuka_: I told you, arecord works fine
[22:08] <yoyit2> giovani: i did but ill look agian 1 sec
[22:08] <yuka_> giovani: ok, i'll try it. thanks
[22:08] <mib_5pbnh9> Hi as anyone got amarok 2.0 to work in gnome - or is there an equivalent player for gnome?
[22:09] <thiebaude> mib_5pbnh9: have you used songbird before?
[22:09] <giovani> yoyit2: the method you'd be attempting is a bad solution, it's clunky, it's not properly sustainable, it requires the laptop every time, and it's a messy hack -- get a real wireless adapter or wireless ethernet bridge, period, if you want to do it another way, that's your decision, maybe someone else will feel like guiding you through that
[22:09] <ethana21> so after I do a  dpkg -l > apt.list
[22:09] <ethana21> how do I make apt install everything in that list?
[22:09] <ivancho_> chuckc: mdadm -r ?
[22:10] <mib_5pbnh9> Hi is there an auto mounting tool for ext3 partitions?
[22:10] <exodus_ms> mib_5pbnh9, there are plenty of media players available banshee and rythhmbox for starters
[22:11] <yoyit2> giovani: oh sorry about that now i know what you were saying but im kinda confused why i would buy a wireless ethernet bridge when i can just plug them directly into each other thats what i did with vista and it was plug and play
[22:11] <Peteed> how can I save my iptables rules in XML useing iptables-xml?
[22:11] <ivancho> mib_5pbnh9: what do you want exactly with this auto mounting tool?
[22:11] <giovani> yoyit2: I've told you why, stop asking
[22:11] <billisnice> how to update automatically with 8.04.2?
[22:11] <sambagirl> is roundcube a good choice for a different email? i think there is another project starting with a C ?
[22:12] <sambagirl> is imp/horde the best choice?
[22:12] <yoyit2> giovani:  no you didnt i dont have 100$ to buy one thats how much they cost
[22:12] <giovani> sambagirl: roundcube is alright -- it's definitely still a beta product, and, has had a number of security problems
[22:12] <sambagirl> yes i rad that fiovani
[22:12] <sambagirl> giovani
[22:12] <sambagirl> sorry
[22:12] <giovani> sambagirl: imp/horde is an old standby, definitely stable
[22:12] <sambagirl> yes but i was burned on that before
[22:12] <giovani> sambagirl: all depends on your needs -- I use both side-by-side
[22:12] <sambagirl> 3 times actually.
[22:12] <sambagirl> you use both?
