[01:27] <lupine_85> why bittorrent? :p
[01:27] <alecjw> Jopie: and 6.06 doesn't work either?
[01:27] <Jopie> no... same issue
[01:27] <lupine_85> 7.04? ;)
[01:28] <Jopie> also the desktop version does the same, but freezes before X even starts...
[01:28] <alecjw> lupine_85: becuase Jopie is considerate and understands that the servers are under enough starin already :)
[01:28] <Jopie> bittorent is much much faster :)
[01:28] <chibiace> Jopie: whats the specs?
[01:28] <Jopie> 2 seconds...
[01:29] <un_operateur> noona, ok, as long as that's right -- you need to assign ip addresses to each comp in the same network -- i'm assuming you know how to do that on windows -- on knoppix, under the start menu > knoppix > Network/Interent Network card config
[01:29] <alecjw> Jopie: actually, just had a thought. i doubt that many people would be seeding a bitttornt
[01:29] <alecjw> for such an old verison
[01:29] <chibiace> i have a cd for 5.10 somewhere heh.
[01:29] <Jopie> it's a 500 Mhz K6-II machine with 64MB of ram... that last point is hard :)
[01:29] <noona> yeah i did that in knoppix
[01:30] <noona> i got "use DHCP broadcast"?
[01:30] <un_operateur> noona, for the XP comp use <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>  for knoppix use <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>
[01:30] <noona> ok ithink that's yes
[01:30] <un_operateur> noona, DHCP wouldnt be of any use here as XP doesnt have a DHCP server built into it
[01:30] <Jopie> yes it does... enable the connection sharing and it'll act as a dhcp server
[01:30] <alecjw> Jopie: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/5.10/release/ubuntu-5.10-dvd-i386.iso.torrent
[01:30] <chibiace> Jopie: i have the same processor on a gigabyte board with 256mb memory, whats the memory speeds and have you tried the text only install
[01:30] <Jopie> thanks!
[01:31] <Jopie> chibiace: the install goes fine, but then it says 'booting the kernel' and then reboots the machine
[01:31] <alecjw> Jopie: although, as i said, there might not be all that many seeders for such an old rleease
[01:32] <alecjw> Jopie: and i assumae you're on an x86, am i right?
[01:32] <chibiace> Jopie: perhaps you need to make grub not use acpi, or some other feature that is conflicting. reset the bios and check the power options and stuff
[01:32] <Jopie> alecjw: I'm gettint 150kb /s with one peer & one seed :)
[01:32] <Jopie> yes
[01:32] <noona> sending DHCP broadcast failed
[01:32] <eichi> i have a small problem...what to automload a modul that only works with insmod /path/modul.ko
[01:33] <chibiace> Jopie: and do the memtest
[01:33] <eichi> how can i do that? where to put this?
[01:33] <un_operateur> noona, set it manually dude -- dont use DHCP
[01:33] <eichi> *autoload
[01:33] <Jopie> chibiace: I'll try again, see what it does
[01:33] <ptr07> hello, can anybody help my with headphone jack in notebook? it doen't work :(
[01:33] <fester> hi guys.. Could someone please help me.. When i connect my USB pen to Ubuntu.. it doesnt show on desktop..
[01:34] <Jopie> ptr07: likely your sound card isn't recognized automatically and you'll have to find them yourself...
[01:34] <chibiace> jopie: i had problems on a compaq last week because the memory was in the wrong slot and was giving lots of errors, the install cd wasnt booting properly
[01:34] <alecjw> ptr07: try turning the volume up to max on everyhting in the volume control
[01:34] <iami89> I cant install driver for my NVIDIA graphic card, every times when i installed driver my system crash -> dieO:-), who can help me?, my VGA is NVIDIA geforce 4 mx440 128mb AGP 4x TV out
[01:34] <un_operateur> fester, try browsing /media/usb
[01:34] <ptr07> Jopie: i have sound from internal speakers, but headphone jack has no output :(
[01:34] <un_operateur> fester, or /media/usb1 .. etc
[01:35] <fester> ok.. but how do i get it to appear on dekstop..
[01:35] <fester> I believe it mounrs properly
[01:35] <fester> mounts
[01:35] <ptr07> alecjw: I have everything up to max, nothing muted - no sound from headophones
[01:35] <alecjw> ptr07: in gnome-volume-control?
[01:35] <un_operateur> fester, if it mounts -- just create a desktop shortcut :)
[01:35] <Jopie> ptr07: are you sure your headphones are ok?
[01:35] <ptr07> alecjw: yeap
[01:35] <kvossen> I'd like to set up an external monitor for my laptop. Are there any tools or howtos that could help me with this?
[01:35] <fester> but it used to show up when i stuck any disk in..
[01:36] <fester> now it doesnt any ideas?
[01:36] <ptr07> Jopie: yes, i'm sure there are working
[01:36] <iami89> I cant install driver for my NVIDIA graphic card, every times when i installed driver my system crash -> dieO:-), who can help me?, my VGA is NVIDIA geforce 4 mx440 128mb AGP 4x TV out
[01:36] <chibiace> fester: you changed anything in gconf-editor? there is an option for displaying volumes under nautilus
[01:36] <un_operateur> fester, minor hitch, it doesnt break your world does it? :)
[01:37] <Jopie> ptr07: maybe it's a driver thing then... where the driver has to software support it? but it might just as wel be in the mixer
[01:37] <noona> i am required to enter IP address in knopixx
[01:38] <noona> which one should i exactly pick after ipconfig in window?
[01:38] <fester> yeah.. but it was nice to have
[01:38] <noona> windows*
[01:38] <Jopie> exactly: use <IP_ADDRESS> with the subnet mask <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:38] <un_operateur> noona, one up from the last number
[01:38] <ptr07> Jopie: i don't know
[01:39] <Jopie> ptr07: is this a laptop?
[01:39] <ptr07> Jopie: yes
[01:39] <Jopie> ptr07: when you plug your headphones in, does the sound from the speakers go?
[01:39] <fester> I think i might install .10 instead
[01:39] <chibiace> when i plug headphones into my laptop there is no sound after its unplugged again.
[01:40] <chibiace> fester .10 is good
[01:40] <ptr07> Jopie: yes, if I plug headphones in I don't have sound from speakers
[01:40] <biotrox> can i make ubuntu-desktop as a server..?
[01:40] <chibiace> ptr07: do you have a headphones device under alsamixer
[01:41] <Jopie> biotrox: they're exactly the same...  except the server install doesn't install the graphical interface
[01:41] <Jopie> and has some server specific package install options
[01:42] <iami89> I cant install driver for my NVIDIA graphic card, every times when i installed driver my system crash -> dieO:-), who can help me?, my VGA is NVIDIA geforce 4 mx440 128mb AGP 4x TV out
[01:42] <ptr07> chibiace: i have: MAIN, PCM and in another tab: RECORDING in Alsa mixer
[01:42] <Xaro> Hey everyone, could someone offer some help please?
[01:42] <biotrox> is linuxmint the same as edgy..?
[01:42] <chibiace> ptr07: you can also add extra stuff in with the volume control thing
[01:42] <un_operateur> !anyone | Xaro
[01:42] <ubotu> Xaro: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:43] <Xaro> hahah ;) alrite
[01:43] <fester> whats going to happen to ubuntu since edgy is frozen on debian?
[01:43] <finalbeta> !ati
[01:43] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:43] <ptr07> chibiace: how?
[01:43] <chibiace> ptr07: but you probably wont get many more options. edit > prefs
[01:43] <Lynoure> fester: you are confusing Etch and Edgy
[01:43] <ptr07> chibiace: I have all options from edit -> pref on
[01:44] <Xaro> Im having some problems loading the kernal of the 6.06 CD that I got today, it mounts the root filesystem and then goes to the screen with Loading Kernal adn it just freezes there, any suggestions?>
[01:44] <Parmaste1> hi all
[01:44] <fester> oh right..
[01:44] <chibiace> ptr07: dont use headphones? :D since i have headphone related issues it might be an idea to google as much as you can
[01:44] <GMT-1_AZ> Hi everybody. There's a problem with video streaming. Most of the times sound and video are not sinchronized. Is there a solution ?
[01:44] <fester> oh ok..
[01:44] <Lynoure> fester: Debian Etch is the upcoming Debian release (and, yes, frozen at the moment), Edgy is the latest Ubuntu release
[01:44] <fester> thanks for  clarifying that!
[01:45] <ptr07> chibiace: I need headphones, ok let's google out some info
[01:45] <un_operateur> Xaro, a lot of people are having boot problems today -- do you know what kernel release you were on last?
[01:45] <ptr07> chibiace: thx for try
[01:45] <Lynoure> fester: you are welcome :)
[01:45] <chibiace> ptr07: nod shame i didnt have an answer
[01:46] <fester> Great to know there is nothing really to worry about
[01:46] <Lynoure> fester: I have been amused about the similarity of the names myself
[01:46] <Parmaste1> i can't hear any sound in Ubuntu 6.10 and i've all alsa driver installed
[01:46] <Xaro> hmm, well its the 6.06 CD, i was trying to run it LiveCD
[01:46] <chibiace> Xaro: can you do the memory test?
[01:46] <Xaro> yeah fine, anything else just does the same as i mentioned above though
[01:47] <fester> Yeah.. Im a great fan of debian for servers.. just thought ubuntu relied on debians updates
[01:47] <un_operateur> fester, yes, in a way, ubuntu's packages are derived from debians
[01:47] <noona> it's not working
[01:48] <|cub|> wc
[01:48] <chibiace> Xaro you have another computer to test the cd on? other then that id say bios or hardware conflict
[01:48] <taigeR_> Hi
[01:48] <raxip> Hello
[01:48] <un_operateur> noona, did you give XP an IP address? and what IP address did you give Knoppix?
[01:48] <Xaro> alrite ill give it a go on my laptop
[01:48] <Lynoure> fester: but it is not like Debian will grind to halt now, they are just more picky about putting things into Etch.
[01:49] <noona> what should i enter for "IP ADDRESS for eth0"?
[01:49] <raxip> no
[01:49] <fester> Yeah.. good point alright
[01:49] <taigeR_> you tell me
[01:49] <un_operateur> noona, that depends on what IP address you gave XP
[01:49] <[GuS] > hi!
[01:49] <noona> i dont give it, it
[01:49] <noona> s a
[01:50] <noona> it's assiged ip but not by me
[01:50] <noona> so where do i get which xp it's assigned?
[01:50] <un_operateur> noona, well, we told you twice alread -- set both computers to have a manual IP address
[01:50] <Jordan_U> Whenever I try to hybernate I get an error that I don't have enough memory.
[01:50] <noona> which ip*
[01:50] <iami89> how to custom dictionary in UBUNTU for my lang?
[01:50] <un_operateur> noona, are you asking how you determine XP's ip address?
[01:51] <noona> isnt it determinded on its own?
[01:51] <noona> i mean, by my ISP
[01:51] <Lynoure> un_operateur: sounds like she is using dhcp
[01:51] <coco__> hi. I need some help
[01:51] <Xaro> ok its just mounted the root filesystem which it didon my pc, but now its moving the mount points adn doing the rest of it, which on my pc it just went to the black screen after the mounting of the root filesystem
[01:51] <un_operateur> noona, didnt you say you had both these computers hooked up via a cross-over cable?
[01:51] <noona> yes
[01:51] <coco__> I have tried many times to setup my system with two monitors, but it never works
[01:52] <un_operateur> noona, then the IP address on the XP interface connecting to knoppix has to be given an IP address by you
[01:52] <noona> i just had to give a name for the host computer
[01:52] <chibiace> Xaro, try doing some of the stuff for hardware conflicts in the cds help on your desktop
[01:52] <un_operateur> noona, that interface's ip address has nothing to do with your ISP
[01:52] <un_operateur> noona, please, just do it, ok :)
[01:53] <Xaro> ok :)
[01:53] <noona> shouldnt i get this info by ipconfig?
[01:53] <justin_> I have a really strange problem with edgy.. I reworked my XORG config file so I could have my radeon and stuff back - but when I reset it said that XORG could not load, But it is not the graphics driver because I am using it right now -- it ONLY crashes when I switch it from the PS/2 mouse to the COM mouse on /dev/input/ttys0 or even /dev/ttys0 --- does anyone know how to fix this or if the string changed?
[01:53] <un_operateur> noona, well, if you havent manually set one as of yet -- then you should do that now -- otherwise the ipconfig information will be of no use to you
[01:54] <alper> hey guys, can someone tell me how to install XCHAT 2.6.8 for ubuntu; downloading and installing with the install manager doesnt work :/( (highlight pls)
[01:54] <neutrinomass> justin_: if you used dpkg-reconfigure, there's a backup of your xorg.conf somewhere (I think /var/backup )
[01:54] <un_operateur> noona, control panel -- network connections -- <connection name> -- right click -- properties -- select tcp/ip -- properties ---
[01:54] <Jordan_U> justin_: What exactly did you change?
[01:55] <noona> is that a static ip address?
[01:55] <noona> ok, which one shouldi follow  on this webpage?
[01:55] <noona> http://www.hotcomm.com/FAQ/FAQ_staticIPXP.asp#current_ip
[01:55] <fester> is there an easy way to upgrade from .10 to .11 when it comes out?
[01:55] <fester> apt-get dist-upgrade/
[01:55] <fester> ?
[01:55] <Jordan_U> neutrinomass: I believe it is /etc/xorg.conf.date-xorg-was-replaced
[01:55] <justin_> neutrinomass, Well everything works but the mouse.. composite, 3d accel etc so the file is fine.. it works with the PS/2 mouse but for some reason crashes if I change to serial what is the command for serial in edgy? --- /dev/ttys0 or /dev/input/ttys0 or /dev/input/mice/ttys0?
[01:55] <un_operateur> noona, aye, yes -- use <IP_ADDRESS> as ip address and <IP_ADDRESS> as subnet mask here
[01:55] <IdleOne> alper, sudo aptitude install xchat-gnome ( believe thats 2.6.8 )
[01:56] <teperdono> hi, is there somebody who may assist me to setup my nvidia graphic card for my dual monitor system?
[01:56] <justin_> Jordan_U, Well what I always change -- /dev/input/mice --- because that always makes my PS2 mouse work, but I always use my serial mouse instead.
[01:56] <neutrinomass> fester: There won't be a .11 . The version is <year>.<month> :-) (dapper was 6.06 because it was released June (.06) of 2006 (6.xx) . Feisty fawn will be 7.04
[01:56] <noona> sure un_ope.?
[01:56] <un_operateur> noona, yes
[01:56] <neutrinomass> fester: And upgrading is possible :)
[01:56] <noona> then why is the defaukt 0.1 ( at the end)
[01:56] <noona> not 1.1
[01:56] <neutrinomass> Jordan_U: correct, thanks
[01:56] <noona> default*
[01:57] <teperdono>  hi, is there somebody who may assist me to setup my nvidia graphic card for my dual monitor system?
[01:57] <fester> Oh ok..
[01:57] <justin_> Oh I think I have found the problem :)
[01:57] <fester> thank you!
[01:57] <neutrinomass> justin_: I'm not too sure but you can copy the relevant section from your old xorg.conf
[01:57] <neutrinomass> !upgrade > fester
[01:57] <un_operateur> noona, 1.1
[01:57] <neutrinomass> fester: you're welcome!
[01:57] <justin_> In section "Server Layout" I do not have "generic serial mouse" ;D
[01:57] <justin_> neutrinomass, That's what I did actually
[01:57] <justin_> This XORG is a copy of the XORG that worked fine in Dapper.
[01:57] <noona> ok, now broadcast address for eth0?
[01:58] <justin_> And it does work, except it refuses to use the serial mouse
[01:58] <teperdono>  hi, is there somebody who may assist me to setup my nvidia graphic card for my dual monitor system?
[01:58] <IdleOne> !nvidia
[01:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:58] <neutrinomass> justin_: Sorry I don't know. I can only suggest the obvious, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg :(
[01:58] <nickspoon> !twinview
[01:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about twinview - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:58] <nickspoon> :(
[01:58] <momal> can someone tell me the thing to install grub the cmd... i installed ubuntu on friends pc and it didn't put grub on the sata harddrive so it just auto boots window >_<
[01:59] <nickspoon> momal: grub-install
[01:59] <Jordan_U> justin_: I would recommend that if you are not sure what you are changing that you use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg instead of changing your xorg.conf by hand, it should give you an option for what tipe of mouse you want to use.
[01:59] <IdleOne> !fixgrub
[01:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixgrub - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:59] <noona>  ok, now broadcast address for eth0?
[01:59] <nickspoon> momal: if it boots windows now, the best thing to do is burn the Super Grub Boot CD.
[01:59] <Jordan_U> !grub | IdleOne
[01:59] <ubotu> IdleOne: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:59] <teperdono> thanks, ubotu, but the problem is that I have tried so many pages by now... and it never works. I need direct assistance, pleas
[02:00] <justin_> Jordan_U, I know what I am changing I have been using Debian Linux'es for about 7 years now :P
[02:00] <IdleOne> !grub | momal
[02:00] <justin_> It's just the first time this has ever happened to me..
[02:00] <ubotu> momal: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:00] <nickspoon> momal: then you get a nice menu with which you can install Linux GRUB.
[02:00] <IdleOne> ty Jordan_U
[02:00] <momal> i can get it up with ubuntu live cd... just need to get it to install grub on there.. oh
[02:00] <justin_> Perhaps Edgy for the sake of being modern, does not add a "Generic Serial Mouse" line to the server layout section anymore.
[02:00] <nacho_> Ubuntu sucks, use Debian
[02:00] <Jordan_U> justin_: OK, no offence meant, just most people that come here don't :)
[02:01] <Life> nacho: why?
[02:01] <neutrinomass> nacho_: Please take your trolling someplace else, this is a support channel.

[02:08] <XaroTheOne> Hello All
[02:08] <apokryphos> hi
[02:08] <All> Hi.
[02:08] <momal> how do i find out what the (hdx,x) is ?... from when i have the harddrive from the /dev
[02:09] <XaroTheOne> This is Xaro
[02:09] <nickspoon> momal: what's the name of the hd in /dev?
[02:09] <justin_> That was the problem just so people know.. if they have the same issue.
[02:09] <Xaro> Im running the LiveCD on my laptop whilst trying to fix why it wont mount the root filesystem on my PC
[02:09] <chibiace> Xaro, those options didnt help?
[02:09] <nickspoon> Xaro: what's your root FS?
[02:10] <rapid> igge, something with x86 in it probably
[02:10] <Xaro> yeah im having a look into those options now
[02:10] <Xaro> I just dont know what minght be conflicting with it
[02:11] <momal> /dev/sda is the one with windows which i need grub on and the other is /dev/hdc which linux is installed on
[02:11] <chibiace> Xaro, it stops at mounting the drives not the kernel?
[02:11] <nickspoon> momal: is /dev/sda NTFS?
[02:11] <momal> yes.. i don't need write support just grub installed on it
[02:12] <Jordan_U> momal: sudo fdisk -l
[02:12] <karakara> in evolution is it possible to have seperate folders/sections for each mail account?
[02:12] <Xaro> well, it get to the Mounting Root Filesystem bit and then goes to the black screen with Loading Kernal adn then hangs, whilst on my laptop it stays on the main screen adn continues to laod all the mount points etc
[02:12] <nickspoon> momal: you can't install grub on an NTFS partition.
[02:12] <ken0> I already had some here with the same problem. But no one answered. Maybe some of you may chime in. This is my problem: I went to System>Administration>Services, and randomly switched off two/three services. Now when i open the services through "gksudo services-admin" i get "The configuration could not be loaded
[02:12] <ken0> You are not allowed to access the system configuration.
[02:12] <ken0> " and when i restart my computer i get "Internal error
[02:12] <ken0> failed to initialize HAL" Someone please please please please HELP!!!!
[02:13] <nickspoon> ken0: start a failsafe GNOME session.
[02:13] <chibiace> Xaro: try disconnecting your harddrive
[02:13] <momal> then how can i get the system to open the ide hdc up first and read grub?? and then get windows from the sata ?
[02:13] <ken0> nickspoon, how do i do that?
[02:13] <ken0> nickspoon, and after starting it what do i do? please explain.
[02:14] <nickspoon> ken0: on the login screen, choose Options, Sessions, Failsafe GNOME.
[02:14] <nickspoon> then try re-enabling the services.
[02:14] <Xaro> alrite ill try that
[02:14] <ken0> nickspoon, ok i will try that will be back. Thank you
[02:14] <nickspoon> momal: change the disk to boot from in the BIOS.
[02:14] <jenda> How do I empty trash with root priviledges?
[02:14] <momal> ahh ok .. let me try that
[02:14] <nickspoon> momal: /dev/hdc should be (hd2,0)

[02:16] <inzion>  what could be the reason for a system clock running extremly slow?
[02:16] <momal> nickspoon: I can't change the order the hds boot in from bios :S
[02:17] <chibiace> jenda: silly capitals
[02:17] <jenda> chibiace: I tried it before, and it didn't work for some reason...
[02:17] <Jordan_U> inzion: Hardware or software?
[02:17] <jenda> chibiace: I don't mind the caps - I have a setting that allows me to ignore typos in paths for the cd command :)
[02:17] <inzion> Jordan_U, software, hardware is working great
[02:17] <jenda> So .trash worked fine.

[02:27] <kvossen> I'd like to set up an external monitor for my laptop. Are there any tools or howtos that could help me with this?
[02:28] <gibbster> Hello everyone.  I tried reinstalling, but with no success. Anyone had trouble with this package?
[02:28] <ken0> LjL: You see sir, when the computer system on which you depend on heavily behaves badly, one can do many things to get it to work the correct way
[02:28] <neutrinomass> inzion: Sorry don't know ... :( Can you pastebin the output of 'dmesg' and the file /home/<your username>/.xsession-errors
[02:28] <LjL> ken0: such as completely disregard common IRC courtesy? :) alright, your take.
[02:29] <ken0> LjL: When one's head is dizzy and is intoxicated with the complexities of the OSS, many things are overlooked
[02:29] <gibbster> It puts in an icon in the Applications/Internet menu, but it's broken

[02:30] <gibbster> Is this a bug?
[02:30] <inzion> neutrinomass, dmesg looks good and X is not present, but thanks anyways...
[02:30] <neurotech> savvas, any ideas? :(
[02:30] <neutrinomass> What generates /etc/fstab during install and how can this be done manually? Or alternatively, how to figure out what UUIDs to put there :-)
[02:31] <neutrinomass> inzion: /var/log/syslog ? 'top' ? 'uptime' ?
[02:31] <ken0> LjL: You see as some of the services have been manually disabled by me, i am locked out of the services dialog box, and i believe one of the services i switched off is causing the HAL problem. So i simply need to get a way to get back to services dialog box. Any ideas?
[02:31] <chibiace> eichi /etc/modules

[02:32] <Edulix> hi
[02:32] <inzion> neutrinomass, all good, uptime isn't that long, upgraded the kernel a few days before in hope it helps...
[02:32] <Edulix> I've got a new ipod nano
[02:32] <Edulix> in windows it works
[02:32] <Edulix> now, I connect it here in ubuntu and nothing happens
[02:32] <Edulix> gtkpod doesn't detect it (apparently)
[02:32] <neutrinomass> inzion: I meant the load readings from 'uptime' ;) 'top' doesn't show any process hogging the cpu then ...,
[02:32] <LjL> ken0, i use KDE, so i don't even know what is the services dialog box that you're talking about. however, if that's something that controls /etc/init.d init script, then maybe look at
[02:32] <LjL> !boot
[02:32] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[02:33] <linda777> I'm using 6.06. Is there any reason that the "tree" command would not be available to me at the CLI?
[02:33] <Edulix> thing is, I see the device in device manager
[02:33] <alper> anyone highlight me please
[02:33] <ken0> LjL: OK what i am talking about is System>administration>Services, the CLI for it is "gksudo services-admin"
[02:34] <neutrinomass> Ok, I'll try a traditional-style fstab :(
[02:34] <chibiace> ken0, and then what happens?
[02:34] <LjL> ken0: ...... i still don't have the slightest idea, i *use KDE*
[02:34] <LjL> i don't use Gnome
[02:34] <ken0> chibiace, i get "The configuration could not be loaded
[02:34] <ken0> You are not allowed to access the system configuration.
[02:34] <ken0> " Yesterday i switche dof some services randomly and now i have locked myself out of the services box
[02:35] <ken0> LjL: Do you mean to say that the command "services-admin" doesn't work in KDE?
[02:35] <gibbster> does anyone know how to use network-manager-pptp?
[02:35] <LjL> ken0: no. i mean to say that it doesn't *exist*
[02:36] <ken0> LjL: ok,that was the reason you couldn't sympathise with my problems yesterday? :)
[02:36] <chibiace> ken0, how did you manage that lol.
[02:36] <linda777> When I type "tree" I get "command not found."
[02:36] <LjL> ken0, no, the reason was that you were doing everything but behaving like one's expected to in this channel.
[02:36] <ken0> chibiace, ITs frightful and i am approaching towards a reformat. please dont laugh
[02:37] <IdleOne> linda777, isnt tree a windows cmd
[02:37] <ken0> LjL: i shall take care in the future to keep my cool
[02:37] <LjL> linda777: that's probably because there is no such command as "tree", at least that i know of
[02:37] <chibiace> linda777: sudo apt-get install tree
[02:37] <linda777> Well, I'm working from "Ubuntu Unleased" and I have a whole section on tree.
[02:37] <linda777> Many thanks, chibiace
[02:37] <chibiace> tree is awesome ppl
[02:37] <ken0> chibiace, So do you have any idea how do i get back the services dialog box?
[02:37] <linda777> AH! Right you are chibiace, and I am treeing now as we speak thanks to you. :)
[02:38] <chibiace> ken0, hrm
[02:39] <jamesun> Hello
[02:39] <jamesun> I'm new here.
[02:39] <linda777> This is a minor thing, but I keep losing the use of my mouse wheel. It works fine, then suddenly it won't.  I've checked the xorg.conf file.
[02:39] <ken0> LjL: what i am planning is making a new user-account migrating my home to the new account, and deleting the original account. But as i cannot see another users home, how will i copy all my files to the new account. BTW, selecting all files in my current home and replacing them in the new users home should work, right?
[02:39] <saharaab> hello is there <IP_ADDRESS> precomplied kernel for ubuntu????
[02:40] <PeanutHorst> ok, now i have two problems with the ubunut livecd... first, the setup window is larger than the screen of my laptop (a 14" 800x600 lcd)
[02:40] <LjL> ken0, if that Services application is started as root (and it is, it needs gksudo, doesn't it), then it's not messing up with your own account, but with the *system* itself. making a new account won't gain you anything i'm afraid.
[02:40] <chibiace> ken0, cd /home, then mv yourusenam newusename might work as root ?
[02:40] <PeanutHorst> second, the setup does nothing after the keyboard layout selection screen
[02:40] <PeanutHorst> any help in this would be greatly appreciated
[02:41] <saharaab> anyone can tell me?
[02:41] <LjL> ken0, rather i think you should find out which services you disabled, and re-enable them using update-rc.d, or perhaps by reinstalling the packages
[02:41] <linda777> PeanutHorst: Are you using the auto-detect keyboard option?
[02:41] <saharaab> hello is there <IP_ADDRESS> precomplied kernel for ubuntu????
[02:41] <PeanutHorst> linda777: the wha?
[02:41] <LjL> ken0: look if your /etc/init.d contains anything called "hal" or something like that. mine doesn't, but then i'm on KDE.
[02:41] <ken0> LjL: ok, thats what too complex for me, but let me see how easily i can break my system by downloading packaged from synaptic
[02:41] <PeanutHorst> i can't even see the whole screen
[02:41] <PeanutHorst> and it's been doing nothing forn >3hours now
[02:42] <neutrinomass> saharaab: There is, for feisty, but you really shouldn't be using it ... Why do you want to use it ?
[02:42] <linda777> PeanutHorst: You say your resolution is 800 x 600 on your laptop?
[02:42] <LjL> ken0: if something breaks due to installing packages from synaptic, then that's a bug.
[02:42] <linda777> PeanutHorst: Why don't you to a text install rather than graphical?
[02:42] <IdleOne> PeanutHorst,  you can do a server install and after that is done you would do a sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop or kubuntu-desktop
[02:42] <linda777> Then you can set the screen rez to 800 x 600.
[02:42] <ken0> LjL: ok
[02:42] <saharaab> because it support my TV card
[02:43] <PeanutHorst> linda777: how do i do a text install, hey?
[02:43] <PeanutHorst> i'm using the 6.06lts livecd
[02:43] <PeanutHorst> i'll kill x and then we can discuss further hang on

[02:44] <linda777> PeanutHorst: Ah, I remember -- you have to see the desktop screen and then hit install. Can you see the install button so that you can get started? After you go into that, it gives you a text option.
[02:44] <ken0> LjL: so basically i have to reformat? I dont know what is update-rc.d, and it is giving me wierd outputs
[02:44] <PeanutHorst> linda777: i couldn't see the whole screen
[02:44] <inzion> neutrinomass, have to work on something other, thanks for the help
[02:44] <PeanutHorst> so i couldn't see a text option
[02:44] <Lunar_Lamp> How do I add a module to be automatically loaded on boot so I don't have to "modprobe" each time? I can't remember!
[02:44] <gibbster> Arghh! network-manager is giving me much grief
[02:45] <Lunar_Lamp> !modprobe
[02:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:45] <chibiace> Lunar_Lamp: /etc/modules
[02:45] <LjL> ken0: there's certainly other ways besides a reformat, but you'd have to find someone more familiar with services and specifically the Gnome-only services
[02:45] <Lunar_Lamp> chibiace, thanks! :)
[02:45] <ken0> LjL: the man says about update-rc.d " The program was written this way so  that  it  will
[02:45] <ken0>        never  change an existing configuration, which may have been customized
[02:45] <ken0>        by the system administrator." SO i am out of luck with that
[02:46] <linda777> The most trouble-free way would be to get the server disk, install, and then install the desktop.
[02:46] <MenZa> !restricted > borg
[02:46] <MenZa> huzzah
[02:46] <linda777> Whoever said that was right -- unless someone here knows how to force the text install from the desktop cd
[02:46] <PeanutHorst> server disc?
[02:46] <PeanutHorst> i have no burner here
[02:46] <linda777> PeanutHorst: Did you download the current disk you're using?
[02:46] <PeanutHorst> i wonder if i could...
[02:46] <PeanutHorst> oh dear, x  won't die
[02:46] <linda777> Ah, no burner. Hmm.
[02:47] <PeanutHorst> and no, i got it mailed to me ;)
[02:47] <gibbster> I got the following: "Failed to execute child process "nm-vpn-properties" (No such file or directory)" after I launch the menu item that was installed by network-manager-pptp. Is that a bug?
[02:47] <chibiace> ken0, what exactly is not working other then access to the services thing
[02:47] <biotrox> hey all i just change my linuxmint bea to ubuntu edgy eft :)
[02:47] <linda777> PeanutHorst: OK, it looks like "Install in Text Mode" is the very first option.
[02:48] <linda777> So, you should be able to go into install and just hit enter -- it's the first one on the list.
[02:48] <ken0> chibiace: I disabled some services yesterday, so as a consequence, that services-dialog box doesn't open, and everytime i reboot i get "Internal error

[02:51] <neutrinomass> PeanutHorst: I don't think you can do a text install from the LiveCD ...

[02:51] <PeanutHorst> and also linda777 sorry about being so snarky.. this satellite is really irriting me

[02:55] <linda777> What happened when you did safemode -- same thing, too big?
[02:55] <GMT-1_AZ> I have ati radeon 9550 and I'd like to know if it is safe to switch to AGP mode 8. Tanks

[02:55] <biotrox> ya i need to translate indonesian language to english
[02:55] <linda777> I think it will work, b/c of Christmas, PeanutHorst
[02:56] <chibiace> GMT-1_AZ: if it does 8x then its safe enough. if you get any problems just switch it back
[02:56] <ken0> chibiace, you mean, you want to interract with me over a google account?
[02:56] <GMT-1_AZ> ok. tanks
[02:56] <chibiace> or msn, interact is such an interesting word
[02:56] <ken0> chibiace, would a IRC pm window too?
[02:56] <ken0> chibiace, :)
[02:57] <PeanutHorst> linda777: eh?
[02:57] <PeanutHorst> why christmas whaT?
[02:57] <chibiace> its not as pretty :( but whatever floats your boat
[02:57] <dthacke1> LjL: what is the syntax to ask the bot a question the and have it sent directly to me?
[02:57] <Seveas> dthacke1, /msg ubotu something
[02:57] <LjL> Ubotu, tell dthacke1 about bot | dthacke1, see the private message from Ubotu
[02:57] <PeanutHorst> !help | dthacke1

[02:59] <thehumanerror> I've got a 40GB disc that's connected using a Firewire - ATA bridge
[02:59] <thehumanerror> not that that's relevant
[02:59] <PeanutHorst> linda777: well, safe graphics mode is actually working WORSE i think
[02:59] <PeanutHorst> i'm not sure
[03:00] <thehumanerror> and I've just started using it with ext3 instead of vfat
[03:00] <PeanutHorst> or maybe it's just that this satellite is 7 years old and a little slow :p
[03:00] <thehumanerror> but obviously now I can't write to it as a user because it's owned by root
[03:00] <Seveas> IdleOne, sore
[03:00] <linda777> PeanutHorst: lol. That might be it.  Has this channel blocked PMs? My nick is not registered on freenode
[03:01] <ken0> c
[03:02] <PeanutHorst> Seveas: thankyou
[03:02] <PeanutHorst> is it a bastard's hammer from hell?
[03:02] <Seveas> ken0, only registered users can send PM's
[03:02] <janne1> got a problem: after the login into kubuntu my keyboard doesnt work anymore
[03:02] <chibiace> ken0 yes i dont think it works.
[03:02] <Seveas> PeanutHorst, worse :)
[03:02] <PeanutHorst> or is it maxwell's silver hammer, so i can make it come down upon shuttleworth's head?
[03:02] <PeanutHorst> ;p
[03:02] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: ctrl+alt+f1 would do
[03:02] <ken0> Seveas, Is that true for all channels on freenode or for only #ubuntu
[03:02] <PeanutHorst> BUT linux hasn't actually booted yet
[03:03] <janne1> got a problem: after the login into kubuntu my keyboard doesnt work anymore. during the login it works, at the shell it works
[03:03] <Seveas> ken0, pm's have nothing to do with channels.
[03:03] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: you never know what you have running on f1.
[03:03] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: i do
[03:03] <PeanutHorst> at the moment it's up to
[03:03] <ken0> Seveas, i think my question still remains unanswered. Do you mean on the entire freenode server this is the policy?
[03:03] <Seveas> ken0, yes
[03:03] <PeanutHorst> Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
[03:03] <Seveas> ken0, see http://wwwfreenode.net

[03:04] <ken0> chibiace, Care to take the pains to join some another server and then explain the solution to me over a PM?
[03:04] <biotrox> ark in mandriva, in ubuntu..?
[03:04] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: my problems were solved about having to deal with low memory and stuff on some computers by buying some cd-r, alt cd is good. :( sad that you cant write one
[03:04] <Seveas> ken0, or both just join some other channel
[03:04] <pike_> jenda: regular old ps2 keyboard? maybe just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[03:05] <yuk> anybody know how to set boot parameter to config full width text console, I am using a 16:9 LCD
[03:05] <PeanutHorst> by the by
[03:05] <PeanutHorst> whoever told ubotu to tell me about X, is a moron :)
[03:05] <hmmz> hello all
[03:05] <un_operateur> does anyone know what the advantage of using UIDs to identify devices is ? for example  /dev/disk/by-uuid/5cbad96e-3464-47ea-bab5-b5d5f29a2894  over /dev/hda2  ?? I seem to have noticed grub do this lately --  /vmlinuz-2.6.20-2-386 root=UUID=5cbad96e-3464-47ea-bab5-b5d5f29a2894 ro single
[03:05] <PeanutHorst> i'm not newbie to linux, i've used it for years.
[03:06] <lupine_85> yuk: vga=ask
[03:06] <Seveas> !langauge | PeanutHorst
[03:06] <ubotu> PeanutHorst: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:06] <lupine_85> then take your pick
[03:06] <IdleOne> PeanutHorst, they were probably trying to help you. insulting ppl in a help channel wont get you much help
[03:06] <PeanutHorst> i avoided ubuntu until it was utterly necessary for precisely the reasons i'm having isues with today.
[03:06] <yuk> lupine_85: thx
[03:06] <Trist_an> hello there
[03:06] <Seveas> un_operateur, it's more reliable
[03:06] <chibiace> un_operateur: when i upgraded to edgy it was default in fstab. i dont understand it at all so its annoying
[03:06] <Seveas> un_operateur, especially when faced with dockingstations, or removable disks
[03:06] <lupine_85> un_operateur: if you switch from primary master to secondary slave, it doesn't care
[03:06] <hmmz> Hi all
[03:06] <PeanutHorst> well sorry, idleone, but i thought it was pretty clear that i wasn't a fool when it came to linuxen
[03:06] <lupine_85> however, it's a PITA to type out mnually in the kernel line
[03:07] <lupine_85> so I changed it all back :p
[03:07] <Trist_an> When I right click on a file and do send by e-mail, it doesn't work. I'm using kubuntu and I'd like to e-mail directly with thunderbird. Is it possible?
[03:07] <un_operateur> Seveas, reliable?? today when i boot up the UID is missing from /dev/disk/by-uuid but the traditional device is there in /dev/hda1
[03:07] <hmmz> could someone take a minute to give me a hand, please? Im compleatly new to linux and ubuntu and im stuck with something
[03:07] <biotrox> !codecs
[03:07] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:07] <Seveas> un_operateur, did you format the disk?
[03:07] <un_operateur> Seveas, caused me major grief
[03:07] <IdleOne> PeanutHorst, nobody said you are a fool. sometimes ppl only see part of a convo and jump in with what they can. say thank you and dont worry about the msg window :)
[03:07] <Trist_an> ak hmmz
[03:07] <JediMaster> hey guys, I'm trying to install 6.10 on to a pretty old machine (p3 735mhz, 64mb ram) but I can't actually get any further than X loading and the cursor coming up
[03:08] <un_operateur> Seveas, errm, would i expect a bootable system if i formatted the boot paritition? :)
[03:08] <pike_> Trist_an: you might get a quicker response in kubuntu  "/join kubuntu"
[03:08] <JediMaster> Is there a text only installer for older machines?
[03:08] <Seveas> un_operateur, people do crazier things ;)
[03:08] <lupine_85> !alternate | JediMaster
[03:08] <ubotu> JediMaster: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[03:08] <Seveas> un_operateur, anyway, you should file a bug
[03:08] <hmmz> Im trying to set a adsl router up and im getting nowhere
[03:08] <un_operateur> Seveas, point is -- i changed boot to use /dev/hda1 and i boot up and the very same UID there -- like magic it's come up
[03:08] <un_operateur> changed grub*
[03:08] <JediMaster> lupine_85: thanks, so it's a different cd?
[03:08] <lupine_85> yeah, afraid so
[03:09] <JediMaster> doh
[03:09] <PeanutHorst> IdleOne: well, safe graphics mode hung the kernel somehow
[03:09] <lupine_85> another 700MB of berylly goodness :s
[03:09] <PeanutHorst> (don't see why)
[03:09] <hmmz> anyone? :(
[03:09] <PeanutHorst> lupine_85: beryl? on ubuntu? you crazy, wolfdude?
[03:09] <PeanutHorst> :p
[03:09] <linda777> I dont see why there isn't an easy way to run it in text mode.
[03:09] <lupine_85> I'm only teh operat0r :p
[03:10] <IdleOne> PeanutHorst, call a friend who has a burner and get the alternate cd is all I can tell you. apperently there is no other way. afterwards you can apt-get a gnome or kde
[03:10] <PeanutHorst> linda777: because shuttleworth wanted to make ubuntu idiot-friendly.. er... user-friendly
[03:10] <PeanutHorst> and went overboard
[03:10] <PeanutHorst> :)
[03:10] <PeanutHorst> IdleOne: i'll keep my xfce 4.4 thankyou
[03:10] <PeanutHorst> :)
[03:10] <IdleOne> PeanutHorst,  whatever dude.
[03:10] <PeanutHorst> and i could possibly burn a cd... but i'd have to reboot to install the burner on my machine
[03:11] <lupine_85> IdleOne: wha? It installs ubuntu-desktop/kubuntu-deskop by default
[03:11] <PeanutHorst> and i'm too proud of my uptime :p
[03:11] <lupine_85> you're possibly thinking server CD
[03:11] <hmmz> I plug in my router adn try setting it up with the config thinger that comes up when i execute 'network-admin' in the terminal and i get nowhere whatever i try
[03:11] <hmmz> and*
[03:11] <un_operateur> PeanutHorst, you really do need the ubuntu artwork to use your desktop -- dont let anyone tell you otherwise :p
[03:11] <lupine_85> !install | PeanutHorst
[03:11] <ubotu> PeanutHorst: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[03:11] <IdleOne> lupine_85, yup
[03:11] <lupine_85> take your pick :p
[03:11] <linda777> PeanutHorst: Think I've got something for you.
[03:11] <PeanutHorst> un_operateur: -glare-
[03:11] <PeanutHorst> linda777: oh?
[03:12] <linda777> When you start the live CD, try "f4"
[03:12] <linda777> That should force VGA mode.
[03:12] <PeanutHorst> hmm
[03:12] <PeanutHorst> yes, i did that
[03:12] <hmmz> anyone have a suggestion as to what i do?
[03:12] <PeanutHorst> i think the problem isnt' that
[03:12] <PeanutHorst> it's that ubuntu is STUCK in vga mode
[03:12] <PeanutHorst> i need to change the Xorg resolution to 800*600*something
[03:12] <PeanutHorst> but not from the bootloader
[03:13] <linda777> And you can't get to the xorg config file?
[03:13] <gibbster> has anyone succeeded in using vpn with network-manager?
[03:13] <b4yu> ada yang berbhasa indonesia?
[03:13] <chibiace> gibbster: i think davyd has
[03:13] <lupine_85> PeanutHorst:  modifying the kernel boot line to include 'single' might work wonders for getting to xorg.conf
[03:14] <gibbster> o
[03:14] <PeanutHorst> lupine_85: why is that?
[03:14] <gibbster> chibiace: I guess he's not here though ;-(
[03:14] <chibiace> gibbster: check his blog. he had a post on it i think
[03:15] <lupine_85> well, because it'll dump you to text-mode
[03:15] <gibbster> chibiace: his blog? where is that?
[03:15] <hmmz> can anyone give me some advice as to what i should do?
[03:17] <nilleso> !find xfce
[03:17] <ubotu> Found: gtk2-engines-xfce, libxfce4mcs-client3, libxfce4mcs-dev, libxfce4mcs-manager3, libxfce4util-dev (and 50 others)
[03:17] <chibiace> gibbster google davyd, hes a gnome dev i believe
[03:17] <linda777> PeanutHorst's problem makes me feel petty worrying about this still, but does anyone have a clue about why my mouse wheel keeps stopping working? It will come back if I reboot. And it's working fine on my dark-side machine.
[03:17] <saharaab> what is xfce?
[03:17] <chibiace> its a desktop like kde and gnome
[03:18] <gibbster> chibiace: awesome. I'll give that a try
[03:18] <saharaab> wih gtk or Qt ??
[03:18] <chibiace> saharaab: but lighter, gtk i think
[03:18] <PeanutHorst> linda777: dark-side?
[03:18] <PeanutHorst> oh. that.
[03:18] <linda777> Windows. ;)
[03:18] <hmmz> could anyone please give me a hand?
[03:18] <pike_> linda777: well you shouldnt have to reboot. just alt-ctrl-bkspace
[03:19] <PeanutHorst> linda777: i call ubuntu the darkside myself
[03:19] <PeanutHorst> and try force restaring X
[03:19] <PeanutHorst> oh... yes, what pike_ said
[03:19] <PeanutHorst> :)
[03:19] <ken0> Can some of you chime in and tell me the IRC clients / bittorent clients you use?
[03:19] <linda777> That doesn't bring it back, pike
[03:19] <pike_> linda777: thats not good :)
[03:19] <linda777> I have to sometimes go do a reconfigure.
[03:19] <PeanutHorst> ken0: KVIrc, X-Chat, irssi for IRC, and KTorrent for bittorrent
[03:19] <linda777> Yet, I check the xorg.config file, and the setting has not changed.
[03:19] <_David_> chatzilla
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> linda777: do you use emacs?
[03:20] <_David_> firefox ext
[03:20] <loco_gr> ken0: irrsi/utorrent
[03:20] <linda777> PeanutHorst: Nope, I'm a pico girl.
[03:20] <ken0> loco_gr, utorrent over WINE, doesn't that look ugly?
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> omg! a girl on IRC! :p
[03:20] <thehumanerror> I use Gaim for IRC because I'm a noob
[03:20] <linda777> They allow one on per day. I just made it.
[03:20] <loco_gr> ken0: a little bit, but I don't care
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> lol linda777
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> i use pine
[03:20] <hmmz> ill go try again by my self i spose :(
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> for email
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> and sxemacs as my text editor
[03:20] <PeanutHorst> btw,
[03:21] <Seveas> !offtopic | PeanutHorst
[03:21] <ubotu> PeanutHorst: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:21] <thehumanerror> I use nano or vim I guess
[03:22] <linda777> But anyway -- is there some other config file that xorg could be pulling from?
[03:22] <PeanutHorst> Seveas: you remind me of someone annoying in #mandriva.... you an op in here? and are you the one that lurks in fn-s? i'm not trying to start a flamewar, i was stating fact.
[03:22] <PeanutHorst> linda777: if there is i'd like to know too
[03:22] <PeanutHorst> i need to get this sodding installer visible
[03:22] <linda777> I seem to remember reading something about a version that sits in ram.
[03:22] <linda777> And then goes away.
[03:22] <Seveas> PeanutHorst, I suggst you try to behave instead of calling people annoying
[03:23] <thehumanerror> I'm trying to use ext3 on a removable disc, what should I do regarding permissions and stuff to make it more usable?
[03:23] <gibbster> chibiace: keep on getting 'connection failed' unfortunately...
[03:24] <Seveas> thehumanerror, look at the permissions on /tmp, read/write by eeryone and the sticky bit set
[03:24] <PeanutHorst> Seveas: i'm having the bot thrown at me, and the bot is inanimate and a puppet...  anyhow, have you got any sage advice that relates to my problem perchance?
[03:24] <thehumanerror> won't the "root" permissions on the disc always be set on the mount point and not on the filesystem?
[03:24] <Seveas> thehumanerror, the setgid bit on the dir will help as well
[03:24] <thehumanerror> yeah, I had a quick look at /tmp for ideas
[03:24] <PeanutHorst> linda777: i'm going to try booting forom the existing linux system thta is on the laptop and seeing if i can manipulate ubuntu's installer from there
[03:25] <chibiace> gibbster: im not clear on how to set a vpn up. so unfortunately i cant help you.
[03:25] <thehumanerror> sorry, I've never used the sticky bit and the setgid bit
[03:25] <thehumanerror> what does the sticky bit do?
[03:25] <linda777> I'm googling the xorg.conf thing, meantime. It might solve both our problems.
[03:25] <Seveas> thehumanerror, a look at the chmod manpage and infopage will help, much better explanation than I can give :)
[03:25] <thehumanerror> OK, will do
[03:26] <gibbster> damn. Thanks anyway. Might be time to throw in the towel...
[03:26] <thehumanerror> but it's not information that's specifically relevant to removable devices. User names aren't stored in filesystems are they? Just UIDs? Which won't be the same on a different computer... not that that matters in this case
[03:27] <gibbster> Anyone here with experience setting up a pptp vpn network with network-manager?
[03:27] <Seveas> thehumanerror, correct
[03:27] <gibbster> Help save a poor lad from windows?
[03:27] <Seveas> thehumanerror, ext3 hasn't been designed for sharing removable disks between machines unfortunately
[03:27] <thehumanerror> Hmm, Ubuntu automounts the fs nicely, and even recognises that I can't do anything with it
[03:28] <thehumanerror> well, no filesystem has
[03:28] <thehumanerror> the only reason FAT works is because it doesn't have any permissions at all
[03:28] <Seveas> thehumanerror, well, the design mistakes in fat32 make it very suitable for this :)
[03:28] <thehumanerror> is that a design mistake? I would consider it a feature that was left out.
[03:29] <whyameye> gibbster: I could never get the open source vpn clients to work so I use the Cisco Systems vpnclient that my univ provided for us.
[03:29] <gibbster> whyameye: I was under the impression that cisco vpn was different from microsoft vpn
[03:29] <gibbster> whyameye: I could be wrong though...
[03:30] <satish> hi all
[03:30] <whyameye> gibbster: I have no idea on that sort of thing. I'm just wondering if whomever you are vpning into could provide the vpn client for you.
[03:30] <whyameye> gibbster: or are you setting up your own vpn client/server?
[03:30] <beowuff_> gibbster, I believe the default MS vpn uses PPTP and the Cisco uses IPSEC. However, I know on the MS side you can use IPSEC instead... Not sure how compatable they are.
[03:30] <satish> i am new to linux can any one help me ??
[03:31] <chibiace> satish: ask away
[03:31] <malikeye> !sparc
[03:31] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[03:31] <gibbster> whyameye: well, I'm kindof going on the fringe with my company. Really, I should be sticking with windows, so they don't really provide any linux clients
[03:31] <b1f30_w0rk>  merry x-mas or happy hannukah
[03:31] <PeanutHorst> r question
[03:32] <whyameye> gibbster: yeah I know all about that! :-) What are the clients they provide for Windows? MS?
[03:32] <PeanutHorst> erm... now i think i have a better question *    where on the ubuntu disc is the nistaller executable located?
[03:32] <hmmz> no luck with it, could someone please give me some help? :)
[03:32] <gibbster> beowuff_: well, I'm right beside a windows computer that has successfully set up this vpn connection, and it lists pptp
[03:32] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: is the one on the desktop a launcher?
[03:33] <gibbster> whyameye: I just use the default connection wizard on windows
[03:33] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: i've no idea
[03:33] <PeanutHorst> i'm browsing the file structure from thunar in zenwalk atm
[03:34] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: check the Install file on the desktop
[03:34] <gibbster> whyameye: ... it's a pity that I _really_ need vpn for my job.
[03:34] <whyameye> gibbster: so you have already Googled and tried stuff, right? 'Cause I just did a quick google search and there's a lot out there about this. For example: http://www.students.ncl.ac.uk/a.j.mee/blog/index.php/2005/11/21/networkmanager-pptp-vpn-support/
[03:34] <gibbster> whyameye: yeah, I tried the usual advice
[03:35] <gibbster> whyameye: but I keep on getting VPN Connect Failure
[03:35] <stickyicky> is there a tool similar to fedora's chkconfig for ubuntu?
[03:35] <beowuff_> gibbster, Cisco may also be able to be set up with PPTP as an option. I'm not that familiar with Cisco VPNs. Wouldn't surprise me though.
[03:36] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: where's the desktop oon the cd lol
[03:36] <hmmz> for an adsl router to work on ubuntu it has to use pppoe, right?
[03:36] <satish>  i have installed ubuntu 6.06 on my old system with cel 1ghz processor 810e mobo 256 mb ram 40 gb hdd but it took around 2 hrs to install and now it takes 15 to 20 min and 10 min to shutdown plus somtime it even dosent start can i know where i may b wrong
[03:36] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: cant you start it? and ssh to it while its running?
[03:37] <gibbster> beowolf_: hmm. worth a try
[03:37] <PeanutHorst> no i can't chibiace

[03:39] <geokok> hi. how can I add dictionaries in OO?
[03:40] <whyameye> gibbster: this looks interesting. Other than that...not sure how to help. :-( http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/
[03:40] <gibbster> whyameye: yeah, tried that :-(
[03:40] <gibbster> whyameye: thanks for the help, though
[03:41] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: how are you even having problems with your display, it should work perfectly :(
[03:41] <Vuen> thanks loco_gr, this is perfect
[03:41] <loco_gr> Vuen: ;)
[03:41] <gibbster> whyameye: I'll putter around for a few more hours. Failing that, you'll probably see me drop in the forum again when feisty comes out :-(
[03:41] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: i can't explain
[03:41] <PeanutHorst> the machine is a bit past its prime okay?
[03:42] <whyameye> gibbster: have you tried the Cisco vpnclient? Might be worth a shot...
[03:42] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: you have onboard graphics?
[03:43] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: or a spare graphics card?
[03:44] <gibbster> whyameye: ugh. Yeah, I guess. something I wanted to avoid though
[03:44] <whyameye> gibbster: do you know what the server is running? It is Cisco?
[03:45] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: it's a laptop.
[03:45] <PeanutHorst> a toshiba satellite 2060cds
[03:45] <marius__> Hey I've got a little problem with a "software updates" window that's stuck and won't close, how can I fix this?
[03:45] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: i'll google
[03:45] <PeanutHorst> it's got an S3 Savage i think
[03:45] <PeanutHorst> or possible a Virge/MX
[03:45] <PeanutHorst> one of the two
[03:45] <gibbster> whyameye: I'm pretty sure it's a pptp server. Other than that I don't know
[03:47] <chibiace> my first result for that laptop is a page for linux on it, read that?
[03:47] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: no
[03:47] <PeanutHorst> it relates to red hat 6.0
[03:48] <PeanutHorst> i've seen that page before
[03:48] <PeanutHorst> and it's years old
[03:48] <PeanutHorst> the graphics controller is a s3 vige/MX rev. 06
[03:48] <PeanutHorst> s/vige/Virge/g

[03:54] <alper> hi guys, how can I unpack rar-files?
[03:55] <HymnToLife> !rar
[03:55] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[03:55] <chibiace> AZOTo: neverball is also fun for 3d but its not at all needy, doom 3 is good
[03:55] <yrlnry> You can install a program called "unrar" using synaptic package manager.
[03:55] <alper> !info unrar-free
[03:55] <ubotu> unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20060609-1 (edgy), package size 17 kB, installed size 80 kB
[03:55] <x-r00t-x> !terminal
[03:55] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[03:55] <pike_> AZOTo: if you really want to put it through its paces maybe the quake4 demo for linux but tremulous is a great free fps
[03:56] <AZOTo> doom 3. where ?
[03:56] <frogzoo> is there any way to change the colours in evolution? visited links are red, and on a green background, are hard to see
[03:56] <chibiace> AZOTo: from the store :P
[03:56] <AZOTo> :)
[03:56] <chibiace> AZOTo: q4 demo would be great
[03:56] <AZOTo> Something... free ? ;)
[03:56] <frogzoo> AZOTo: doom 3 can be got to run, the engine you d/l for free - the wads you need from a licenced cd
[03:56] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: the ones which i know would be suicide
[03:57] <PeanutHorst> like 1280*1024 and 1600*1200
[03:57] <chibiace> PeanutHorst: have you tried them?
[03:57] <AZOTo> I'lll try quake 4 demo . tanks
[03:57] <chibiace> AZOTo: enemyterritory is fun but not intensive either
[03:58] <x-r00t-x> hello. can anyone tell me . how do i make my terminal so colorful
[03:58] <PeanutHorst> chibiace: no, because i have no intention of needeing to call the bomb squad :p

[04:04] <frogzoo> AngryElf_: apt-cache search ftp
[04:04] <AngryElf_> frogzoo: yea, thanx, that brings up several hundred listings
[04:04] <pike_> AngryElf_: honestly either nautilus or cli. maybe midnight commander but thats terminal too
[04:04] <scifi> im running dapper drake at the mo, im guessing we've moved to a newer version now?
[04:04] <jeeves_Moss> frogzoo:  yes, GPSD is installed, I just don't understand the syntax on how to make it work.  I guess what I need is someone to walk me through it step by step and explain what each step does
[04:04] <frogzoo> scifi: edgy 6.10 is latest desktop release
[04:05] <ctkroeker> scifi: yes, it's called edgy eft
[04:05] <scifi> nice
[04:05] <lupine_85> AngryElf_: kftp :p
[04:05] <lupine_85> firefox also has an extension
[04:05] <scifi> i suspect these updates will upgrade my kernel too
[04:05] <lupine_85> scifi: 2.6.17-10
[04:06] <mzli> scifi: you can make kernel it yourself
[04:06] <biotrox> !flash
[04:06] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:06] <frogzoo> jeeves_Moss: I think you have some reading to do
[04:06] <mzli> scifi: latest is 2.6.19
[04:06] <jeeves_Moss> frogzoo:  any sudgestions on a URL?
[04:06] <biotrox> !plugins flash

[04:06] <biotrox> !alien
[04:06] <scifi> ok after these updates have installed shall i do sudo apt-get upgrade?
[04:06] <jeeves_Moss> frogzoo:  also, how cna I force the delete of a directory that's not empty from shell?

[04:07] <jeeves_Moss> frogzoo:  thanks.
[04:07] <lupine_85> make sure [k|x] ubuntu-desktop is installed before and after
[04:07] <frogzoo> jeeves_Moss: yw
[04:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plugins flash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:07] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:07] <scifi> lupine_85: that for me?
[04:07] <lupine_85> scifi: yes
[04:08] <scifi> lupine_85: k, can i check for that in synaptic?

[04:10] <frogzoo> pike_: you can install mysql in a couple of hours, and 4 hours is enough to get some sql familiarity
[04:11] <frogzoo> pike_: actually installing mysql takes like 5 minutes

[04:21] <thehumanerror> I was't being too helpful though:)

[04:21] <HymnToLife> scifi, if running Dapper, it is

[05:00] <jeeves_Moss> all:  also, has any one got the flashy features of Gnome3 to work?
[05:00] <lynucs> or how to set up alsamixer, so that the current 100% of volume would count as e.g. just 30%, to be able to set volume higher??
[05:01] <Gosha> .. whatthe .. so i do have gtk+ installed .. why does the configure command say i dont?
[05:01] <HymnToLife> jeeves_Moss, features ? GNOME 3 ?
[05:01] <PingunZ> Is someone willing to help me with a dynamic dns ( freedns ) ?
[05:01] <Gosha> checking for GTK... configure: WARNING: cannot find GTK+-2.0, player will be disabled <--
[05:01] <biotrox> if u use bind i can help u :D
[05:01] <ssam> Gosha, you probably need the gtk dev package
[05:01] <Gosha> can it be because i have xubuntu installed and it messed something upp?
[05:02] <Gosha> gtk dev was it. synaptic?
[05:02] <ssam> Gosha, what are you trying to build
[05:02] <jps__> has anyone tried to install ubuntu and kubuntu on the same machine as dual boot? i like them both, but i don't like to install one on top of another since the menus become full of apps...
[05:02] <Gosha> swfdec
[05:02] <phrozen77> anyone could give me a hint why ubuntu boots the old kernel, after upgrading to 2.6.17? symlinks in /boot have been set to the new kernel, also lilo.conf seems to be ok to me... http://rafb.net/p/AnDeLJ91.html
[05:02] <goomie> biotrox: maybe give sudo apt-get install libadns1 wireshark-common
[05:03] <Gosha> ... it said the same thing on some other conf script
[05:03] <wijnand> jps__: i don't know about kubuntu but in ubuntu i can make apps "invisible" in the menu
[05:03] <ssam> Gosha, it will be in synaptic, i think its called something like libgtk2-dev, but you'll have to search
[05:03] <goomie> biotrox: also i think sudo apt-get clean removes those dependancy messages (not sure but im pretty sure)
[05:03] <Gosha> gtk dev = ?
[05:03] <ssam> Gosha, or try 'sudo apt-get build-dep swfdec'
[05:03] <biotrox> wait the last thing is make sense
[05:03] <jeeves_Moss> HymToLife: before I upgraded to Gnome3, I heard that there was to be animated icons, and a flashy way to switch between desktops.
[05:03] <biotrox> i'll try it
[05:03] <ssam> Gosha, that should install everything you need
[05:04] <Graou> hi everyone, I was wondering how to display trash on Desktop (Gnome) can anyone help me? (msg maybe)
[05:04] <goomie> biotrox: it looks like those 2 files for wireshark didnt get installed
[05:04] <biotrox> yes i think you are right
[05:04] <Gosha> E: Unable to find a source package for swfdec / E: Unable to find a source package for swfdec-0.3.6 <-- wee
[05:04] <jps__> wijnand.. yeah .. but i thought dual boot would help me evaluate gnome and kde better with their defaut options
[05:04] <PingunZ> Is there any documentation on settting up a dynamic dns in ubuntu ? ( I have already installed LAMP and registred my dns domain ) I just need somekind of script to update my ip  ( I'm using freedns )
[05:05] <wijnand> jps__: that shouldn't be the case, but i don't see any reason why you can't dualboot them
[05:05] <mralphabet> jps__: that's just wacky
[05:05] <biotrox> goomie I think you fixed my problem just now
[05:05] <ssam> Graou, in gconf-editor change /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
[05:05] <biotrox> goomie Thanks
[05:05] <goomie> biotrox: MERRY CHRISTMAS
[05:06] <biotrox> merry christmas
[05:06] <ssam> Gosha, then you'll have to look in synaptic
[05:06] <goomie> biotrox: sniff packets with all your heart
[05:06] <biotrox> :))
[05:06] <wijnand> jps__: only thing you have to realise is that the installers probably won't add the right entries to grub by default, but you can just open /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit it (the "other" menu.lst should already contain the entry you need to boot it, so you cna just copy paste)
[05:06] <biotrox> it's working he he he eh
[05:06] <ctyistudent> ubuntu servers are down, HELP!!!!!

[05:10] <ctyistudent> i cant get to the site or download packages
[05:10] <ctyistudent> this sucks
[05:10] <phrozen77> HymnToLife: well no - it might be a workaround, but not a solution why lilo wont boot the kernel i told it to
[05:10] <ctyistudent> the server situation i mean, not this group
[05:10] <HymnToLife> well
[05:10] <goomie> biotrox: or if you have a t1 and your buddy is on dial up you can flood em
[05:10] <HymnToLife> you could also remove the old one :p
[05:10] <goomie> biotrox: other then that im just a n00b
[05:10] <biotrox> yeah how am i be able to do that
[05:11] <noota> hi?
[05:11] <phrozen77> HymnToLife: your solution is just as much a solution as im going to do when that effing ubuntu wont do what i want and go and install something else on it

[05:17] <ssam> biotrox, could you find a scriptkiddie channel and offend them
[05:17] <un_operateur> tdog, well, yes and no -- if you install KDE the only things changing in your home directory are the KDE specific config files
[05:18] <Jopie> Anyone have any idea why my new Ubuntu system is instantly rebooting? right after the grub bootloader it reboots the computer...

[05:19] <un_operateur> tdog, KDE is very stable -- some say more rock solid than gnome -- but you have to be the judge of that

[05:20] <cmweb> jopie, mostlikley the partioning did fail or you did not set it up right. Id sudgest re-install if its not working
[05:21] <tdog> base on what i read, there are no plane as of yet to make one , atleast not for linux
[05:21] <Jopie> cmweb: I've done that twice or maybe even three times... let me try again with a different image :)
[05:21] <noota> thank you for your answer~!!
[05:21] <noota> thank you for your answer~!!
[05:21] <cmweb> jopie, what is the image your installing, Gnome or the server
[05:21] <tdog> vista 64bit will not be realeased to public , only if call and order directly , so that should also effect any 64bit plugins that might come for linux
[05:21] <Jopie> server
[05:22] <Buzz_Off> how can I share network with 2 LAN cards?
[05:22] <cmweb> jopie, oh before you procede though their is a disk checker on the cd use it
[05:22] <Jopie> cmweb: gnome hangs halfway on boot, I think it's not got enough memory
[05:22] <un_operateur> Jopie, how much memory did you say the machine has?
[05:22] <Jopie> Buzz_Off: windows & ubuntu together or two ubuntu systems
[05:22] <Buzz_Off> ubuntu to windows
[05:22] <Jopie> un_operateur: not a lot, 64 MB :(
[05:23] <un_operateur> Jopie, you'll need much more than that for gnome to run
[05:23] <jps__> anyone uses a notebook that has opensource modem(56k) drivers ? (not the linuxant ones)
[05:23] <cmweb> jopie, were in the same boat i got an old os i need to get on this what are you installing server
[05:23] <Jopie> I realize, I don't want gnome...
[05:23] <tdog> you need to install file and folder sharing . for both linux on window , right from linux
[05:23] <un_operateur> Jopie, why not try a lighter Windows manager?
[05:23] <Buzz_Off> no no
[05:23] <tdog> called shared folder
[05:23] <un_operateur> like fluxbox or icewm or if you arent going to use the machine a lot -- twm
[05:23] <Jopie> I want it headless... I don't need the GUI... but using 5.10 doesn't work, I need the respitories
[05:23] <Buzz_Off> the ubuntu can`t ping the windows lan card
[05:23] <Buzz_Off> why?
[05:24] <Buzz_Off> windows pings both
[05:24] <Rug> Jopie: my personal favorite WM is fluxbox.  Very easy on a system
[05:24] <CHa83> hi, i used the experimental ntfs read driver for a few weeks. After i conntected my external drive to a windows system the following error appeared as i connected it to my ubuntu system: "failed to mount '/dev/sda1': operation not supported
[05:24] <CHa83> mount is denied because the ntfs journal file is unclean. choices are:
[05:24] <CHa83>  a) shutdown windows properly.
[05:24] <CHa83>  b) click the 'safely remove hardware' icon in the windows taskbar
[05:24] <CHa83>     notification area before disconnecting the device.
[05:24] <Jopie> lol, but I don't want a WM :) or atleast yet!!!
[05:24] <CHa83>  c) use 'eject' from windows explorer to safely remove the device.
[05:24] <tdog> linux is not set to broadcast IP
[05:24] <CHa83>  d) if you ran chkdsk previously then boot windows again which will
[05:24] <CHa83>     automatically initialize the journal.
[05:24] <CHa83>  e) run 'ntfsfix' on linux which will reset the ntfs journal.
[05:24] <CHa83>  f) mount the volume read-only by using the 'ro' mount option.
[05:24] <tdog> that might be the case . unless you are sharing a folder
[05:24] <un_operateur> !paste | CHa83
[05:24] <ubotu> CHa83: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:25] <biotrox> ssam : do you know any tool to make me become a sript kddie :P
[05:25] <Buzz_Off> no no
[05:25] <Buzz_Off> I `ve done it before but I can`t remember
[05:25] <klip> Jopie, When you don't want a windowmanager then uninstall it ;) sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[05:25] <Buzz_Off> j-snat postrouting .... and ssometing
[05:25] <Buzz_Off> but what...
[05:25] <Buzz_Off> something like that...
[05:26] <un_operateur> Buzz_Off, you probably want to ask this in the 3l1t3 channels :)
[05:26] <Jopie> klip: lol, the whole problem is that I can't boot :)
[05:26] <Buzz_Off> wait a sec
[05:27] <Buzz_Off> where were the starting PS conf.files?
[05:27] <un_operateur> Jopie, can you boot into single user/recovery mode?
[05:27] <Jopie> un_operateur: not on the hd itself, but I can off the cd
[05:28] <un_operateur> Jopie, was grub not configured to add the "recovery" option for your current kernel?
[05:28] <exs> ok guys, simple question.. I'm using 6.06, and I want to go up to 6.10. What should I edit my sources.list to? is there a template I can just copy n' paste? Cheers.
[05:28] <CHa83> hi, i used the experimental ntfs read driver for a few weeks. After i conntected my external drive to a windows system the following error appeared as i connected it to my ubuntu system: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/38383/
[05:28] <Jopie> which is what I'm doing now
[05:28] <un_operateur> !upgrading | CHa83
[05:28] <ubotu> CHa83: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:28] <Jopie> un_operateur: it acts the same way as the main boot
[05:28] <un_operateur> Jopie, are you asking me that or telling me that? :)
[05:29] <Jopie> un_operateur: I'm telling you that, sorry, it auto reboots also!
[05:29] <ssam> biotrox, the first step is to learn leet speak, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
[05:29] <CHa83> what is the connection between upgrading and my problem ?
[05:30] <phrozen77> HymnToLife: just fyi - the solution is even simpler than just installing grub for the fun of it - with lilo you have to execute "lilo" once to get the mbr rewritten
[05:30] <un_operateur> sorry CHa83 -- that was meant for exs
[05:30] <un_operateur> CHa83, which ntfs driver are you using ?
[05:31] <CHa83> ntfsg-3
[05:31] <CHa83> or something like that
[05:31] <HymnToLife> !ntfs-3g
[05:31] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution.

[05:31] <mohshami> hey guys, I deleted my .mozilla folder by mistake, now I can't watch flash animations, where should I start looking?
[05:31] <CHa83> yep ntfs-3g
[05:31] <un_operateur> Jopie, well, does init tell you where it fails? does the boot get as far as init itself??

[05:33] <prestwick> hello ^^ I'm having problems with ndiswrapper and Unbuntu 6.10. It sees my wifi adapter but it can't associate with the unprotected wifi access point.
[05:33] <twissy> moshami, go to a site where u need flash. U'll see something like click here to install missing plugin.  That's the fastest easiest way i think..
[05:33] <exs> I'm trying to upgrade to 6.10 from 6.06, but when i try "gksu update-manager -c -d" nothing happens
[05:33] <prestwick> hehehehe, I'll wait till all of these questions are sorted first.
[05:34] <un_operateur> CHa83, have you tried booting up to windows again?  and cleaning this disk?
[05:34] <lynucs> mohshami, you're using firefox?
[05:34] <lynucs> which one
[05:34] <prestwick> He's quit :(
[05:34] <lynucs> oh
[05:34] <prestwick> I have a problem though!
[05:35] <prestwick> With ndiswrapper.
[05:35] <naelphin> how can i enable DMA on my cdrom? i get HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Input/output error
[05:35] <biotrox> oke leet is to change the form but not changing ones perception
[05:35] <lynucs> never used ndiswrapper :D
[05:35] <prestwick> :(
[05:35] <biotrox> right ssam?
[05:35] <lynucs> maybe a wiki could help
[05:35] <biotrox> changing character with numbers
[05:35] <biotrox> ya..?
[05:36] <klip> exs,  You need to change the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list to "edgy" instead of "dapper"; then apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:36] <JensB> Hi everybody
[05:37] <biotrox> what e.g. stands for..?
[05:37] <JensB> I have a small problem with two Ubuntu (edgy) machines ... they are both identically configured, but on one of them I cannot change most font sizes. when I use the SysteM > settings > fonts utility, only some fonts change (e.g. the Panel, Evolution message list, etc. doesn't). but on the other, all fonts change correctly. any idea why?
[05:38] <prestwick> yeah, I am checking the wiki for Ubuntu and looking for the wiki for NDISWrapper
[05:38] <Jopie> un_operateur: the recovery module doesn't work either, but just freezes. So i've got another question, is there anyway to get the 5.04 version working with the respitories...It fails on apt-get and can't get the files to 'update'
[05:38] <lynucs> prestwick, iguess its a good idea
[05:38] <Buzz_Off> resbOOOOOT
[05:39] <klip> Jopie, You need to execute apt as root; sudo apt-get update
[05:39] <prestwick> I'll keep you guys updated then. I think its more of a problem with the adapter (a Belkin wireless-g USB adapter) than NDISwrapper.
[05:39] <un_operateur> Jopie, you need to give me clues to work on :) the retrieval of lists could fail for any number of reasons ...
[05:39] <CHa83> ok anyone has an idee how to clean an unclean ntfs file journal without a windows system ? :D
[05:39] <CHa83> idee= idea
[05:40] <Jopie> klip: yeah, it runs but fails on certain respetories... it's stuck on "99% Waiting for Headers", I jsut can't remember what respitory ;)
[05:40] <un_operateur> CHa83, its there within the error message you posted -- linuxntfs or ntfslinux
[05:40] <lynucs> prestwick so you "installed" a driver already?
[05:40] <CHa83> it is ?
[05:40] <un_operateur> Jopie, are you adding any non-standard repos?
[05:41] <un_operateur> CHa83, ntfsfix
[05:41] <Jopie> un_operateur: yeah, I think I removed the commenting from the universal respitory...
[05:41] <CHa83> yeah doesnt work
[05:41] <prestwick> Yes, Lynucs, I did.
[05:41] <prestwick> And the install and the modprobe go smoothly.
[05:41] <un_operateur> Jopie, err, what i mean is -- non-ubuntu repos
[05:42] <prestwick> But for some reason it won't see anything
[05:42] <Jopie> un_operateur: no, not at all
[05:42] <theAnswer> hey, can someone tell me how to run ubuntu without gnome?
[05:42] <theAnswer> boot options?
[05:42] <Jopie> install the server version
[05:42] <prestwick> Kubuntu is the KDE variant right?
[05:42] <un_operateur> CHa83, doesnt work? why not? what errors?
[05:42] <un_operateur> theAnswer, disable the gdm daemon
[05:42] <CHa83> if i pmount the device as read only ntfsfix prints that error: Refusing to operate on read-write mounted device /dev/sda1.
[05:43] <bigfuzzyjesus> theAnswer, ctrl+F2 gets you to cmd line
[05:43] <theAnswer> okay, thanks
[05:43] <un_operateur> CHa83, have you tried mounting as superuser -- pmount might not work because it uses your credentials
[05:43] <CHa83> and if the dev is not mounted it prints
[05:43] <CHa83> Mounting volume... FAILED
[05:43] <CHa83> ohh that could be so problem
[05:44] <theAnswer> wow, thats a huge channel :P
[05:44] <un_operateur> xmmsc : Coldplay - Square One
[05:44] <DDragon> not to mention the spam at joining
[05:45] <theAnswer> yeah =)
[05:45] <Jopie> yeah, I don't think we need the answer here, we got plenty of other souls wanting to help out :)
[05:45] <CHa83> sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1
[05:45] <CHa83> Refusing to operate on read-write mounted device /dev/sda1.#
[05:45] <theAnswer> :P
[05:45] <DDragon> lol @ Jopie
[05:46] <un_operateur> CHa83,  bahh -- is /dev/sda1 mounted by root??
[05:46] <CHa83> yes
[05:46] <Jopie> theAnswer: no offense personally
[05:46] <un_operateur> CHa83, you said pmount? is it still pmounted?
[05:46] <un_operateur> !pmount
[05:46] <ubotu> pmount: mount removable devices as normal user. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.13-1build1 (edgy), package size 39 kB, installed size 588 kB

[05:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 8 8 6 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:46] <CHa83> yes
[05:46] <CHa83> ups
[05:47] <CHa83> ok how to mount as root ?
[05:47] <DDragon> ubotu wine
[05:47] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.

[05:47] <DDragon> o.0
[05:47] <un_operateur> CHa83, well, as you can see, pmount mounts the devices using your credentials -- those might not be enough to perform those actions on the filesystem
[05:47] <CHa83> yeah i see
[05:47] <varon> yeaaaah my USB-STICK does is job !!!!!!!!!
[05:47] <CHa83> so how to mount as root ?

[05:47] <CHa83> unmount ?
[05:47] <DDragon> o.0 @ varon
[05:48] <un_operateur> CHa83, you might need extra parms for ntfs-3g .. check the manpage
