[04:07] <ansichart> jimmio, Yes... that's exactly what I am running.
[04:07] <vishzilla> @ansichart: there is a conflict with pulseaudio. if there is another source of sound flash wont play sound
[04:07] <qr_> blak: you need to unpack the tarball and compile the files in it's gooey center
[04:08] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  i was thinking ac97 wasent really a 'card' but like a standard  - But i have had few sound issues with my machines.
[04:08] <thenetduck> Can someone help me to get HDAPS working ? on my ubuntu laptop
[04:08] <jimmio> ansichart: Close rhythmbox, restart firefox, all is well again.
[04:08] <blak> that's what I don't understand. Sorry if I sound ignorant, just installed Ubuntu at round 5 this morning
[04:08] <tsuna27> I want to add s/t to my source list how can i do it i try opening but it says i dont have permission
[04:08] <vishzilla> btw hope the pulseaudio bug is solved.
[04:08] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, my card is described as SB400 AC'97
[04:09] <qr_> blak: in a terminal tar -xf thefile.tar
[04:09] <amenado> tsuna27-> use sudo to get root priviledge
[04:09] <Theaxiom> After I add something to my path, how do I reload .bashrc?
[04:09] <Dr_willis> tsuna27,  you must edit the soruces.list file as the root user. 'sudo nano /path/to/file'
[04:09] <ansichart> jimmio, That's tidious.... do you know another work around for that.  I know I can leave other audio applications open when running Windows and still be able to get audio from the Flash Plugin.
[04:09] <tsuna27> '#FILE: /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main' also should i change gutsy to hardy
[04:09] <dtolj> grub-install /dev/sda gives me an error Could not find device for /boot What is that mean?
[04:09] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, make any sense?  No?
[04:09] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  i would check google for linux/ubuntu and the SB400 then. and the ubuntu forums perhaps.  Its possible theres buggy drivers for that card.
[04:09] <djhash> blak: in windows lingo:. tar is equivalent to a zip file.. you need to extract it.. the files inside it..needs to be compiled and installed..
[04:10] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  its like the old days perhaps when cards where 'sound blaster compatiable' :) but a lot of them were only compatiable due to their drivers.
[04:10] <thenetduck> Does anyone know how to check if my accelerometer on my ThinkPad is working to protect my hard drive?
[04:10] <blak> i get that much but I'm lost when I try to compile, say... xcdroast
[04:10] <vishzilla> @ansichart you have to install libflashsupport 'sudo apt-get install libflashsupport'
[04:10] <jimmio> ansichart: There was rather recently almost no audio support at all... and currently I believe it's just a bug that will soon be corrected.
[04:10] <vishzilla> libflashsupport is still buggy. but you can try it out
[04:11] <djhash> blak: there are two files inside the tar file.. INSTALL and README.. read both..
[04:11] <blak> ok
[04:11] <jimmio> ansichart: Stick it out for now, all will be fine soon enough =P
[04:11] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, no problem, I looked and no luck...not an issue....back to XP for this machine.
[04:11] <djhash> blak: the files are in ALLCAPS
[04:11] <tsuna27> Dr_Willis: i need help the file is in /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:11] <troxor> blak: you should use the packages in synaptic when you want to use a software application, try not to compile things from source unless you know what you're doing, or if you have a special need :)
[04:11] <ansichart> Alright, thanks jimmio and vishzilla
[04:11] <vishzilla> np
[04:11] <blak> the airsnort works, but how do I open aircrack? The terminal command did nothing
[04:12] <Finger> can anyone tell me how to get dekorator?
[04:12] <ansichart> blak, why are you using airsnort with aircrack?
[04:12] <dtolj> i am using ubuntu live cd to fix my grub boot loader but no luck, i was able to do it beforre
[04:12] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  if its very new. it may be the next ubuntu release will update the alsa drivers and get sound working..  or it maybe some trivial fix. I dont know your details so cant advise any more then that.
[04:12] <blak> is one better than the other? I am just trying to get a feel on one or the other
[04:12] <ansichart> blak, kismet + airodump-ng + aireplay-ng + aircrack = Everything you need
[04:12] <Dr_willis> tsuna27,   -> 'sudo nano /path/to/file'
[04:13] <blak> will that crack WEP/WPA?
[04:13] <ansichart> blak, Those tools I listed above are superior
[04:13] <ansichart> Yes
[04:13] <blak> ok
[04:13] <ansichart> I have tutorials on cracking both with those
[04:13] <ansichart> detailed tutorials if you want
[04:13] <Barqs> can someone help me out here? I've got no mp4 support or m4a support in amarok. and the packages that resolve this issue xine-faad xine-flaac aren't in my repositories
[04:13] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, not a problem.  This is an older machine and I just thought it would be a good match for Ubuntu.  Video worked, but not audio.  Back to what works.  Thanks for the suggestions and help though.
[04:13] <blak> I would love to see them
[04:13] <niuq> dtolj, i guess you tried grub-install? after chroot your file system
[04:13] <ansichart> Yea.
[04:14] <Barqs> also, when I try and load the cd/dvd repo, it says failed when the cd is in my cd drive
[04:14] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  i grabbed a $20 creative sound card the other day that works like a champ in the wifes box. :)
[04:14] <ansichart> Did you know WPA is easiest to crack as long as another client is on...
[04:14] <blak> no, thought WEP was
[04:14] <ansichart> easier than WEP, kind of funny.
[04:14] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, nope, XP is free.  Everything works there.  Thanks.
[04:14] <blak> where are ur tuts located
[04:14] <ansichart> As long as a client is on with a WPA encryption it's actually easier.
[04:14] <itrebal> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo/Plugins/Twitter <- I'm trying to setup this plugin, but when I install it to the plugins folder it doesn't "activate" I guess; i don't see a "preferences" tab or option at all; thoughts?
[04:14] <Kai_wp> So how many people here are using Wubi to run Ubuntu with another OS?
[04:14] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  'free' in a 'very broad sence' ;)
[04:14] <ansichart> You send a deauth packet disguised as the router
[04:14] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, it came with the machine free
[04:14] <ansichart> and then they try to reconnect, you capture the handshake
[04:15] <ansichart> and bam you got it
[04:15] <ansichart> instantly
[04:15] <ansichart> I'll show you the tutorial.. let me find it.
[04:15] <tsuna27> Dr_willis: i dont get it
[04:15] <Barqs> would someone be very kind as to help me get mp4/m4a support in amarok?
[04:15] <blak> I read that just earlier and didnt believe it...
[04:15] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,   which is to say - you paid the 'microsoft tax'
[04:15] <csa3d> if i have a mouse with a tilt wheel, how can i disable that completely
[04:15] <Ponce> I'm having trouble getting sound on my machine, does anyone have the time to lend a hand?
[04:15] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, yup, but it works
[04:15] <Kai_wp> Anyone know why you can't get Kiba Dock or Akamaru physics anymore? :(
[04:15] <Dr_willis> tsuna27,  you may want to read some linux basics/tutorials  befor messing with the sources.list file manually. The synaptic package manager has  tools to add/remove sources also.
[04:16] <tsuna27> Dr_willis: how
[04:16] <Dr_willis> !synaptic | tsuna27
[04:17] <blak> any1 know how I can open aircrack on my cpu?
[04:17] <dtolj> ansichart: got those tutorials ready?
[04:17] <Theaxiom> Anyone know an extremely powerful, free FTP client?
[04:17] <ansichart> blak, http://www.cyber-knowledge.net/blog/2007/01/08/cracking-wep/ & http://www.fawadabbas.com/tutorials/tutorials.php
[04:17] <Dr_willis> Theaxiom,  most all ftp clients for linux are free
[04:17] <Barqs> does anyone know how to add a cd to the repos?
[04:17] <Dr_willis> Theaxiom,  any special features you need?
[04:17] <dtolj> Theaxiom: there are many filezilla
[04:17] <ansichart> The second tutorial shows you how to use aireplay to deauth and send fake authentication packets... that's for hacking WPA
[04:17] <ansichart> blak, ^
[04:17] <orangey> hey all!
[04:17] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  try the 'apt-cdrom' command? its been years.. but i think i used that befor.
[04:17] <Theaxiom> Dr_willis: I need SFTP, Multiple Local and Server tabs, Keep-Alive
[04:18] <lextori> Attempting to boot a newly installed system, and having serious issues. My system hanges at *starting bluetooth
[04:18] <Theaxiom> Dr_willis: vertical file tree views
[04:18] <Dr_willis> Theaxiom,  search the package manager for 'ftp' and try out the clients in there.
[04:18] <ansichart> blak, What wireless card are you using by the way... you may run into problems. Are you using an Atheros?
[04:18] <ansichart> blak, because you will need the madwifi drivers the developers version not the normal version if you are using an Atheros card.
[04:18] <blak> thanks, firefox is in timeout for misbehaving til I reboot, so I'll have to give it a go later.
[04:18] <Barqs> Dr_willis: Yeah, this is what I'm trying, however, I don't know how to use it to add the cd to the apt list. And this seems to be the only way to get xine-faad and xine-flaac. those aren't in my repos
[04:18] <dgc_> hola
[04:18] <Theaxiom> dtolj: I do not like filezilla, it gets disconnected from server, and I have to reconnect and navigate again to the remote folder
[04:19] <blak> I have a Broadcom mini wireless pci card
[04:19] <Ponce> I tried using that fix that allows multiple programs to mix sounds on alsa, but now I can't get any sort of sound at all. Would anyone know what is wrong?
[04:19] <itrebal> is it possible to add "accelerators"? like hitting a certain key runs a command or something
[04:19] <blak> Uhh, BC4113 i believe
[04:19] <Barqs> Dr_willis: do you know how I could go about doing any of this?
[04:19] <mortuis99>  i have installed xubuntu on a laptop and am trying to configure wireless to work on it.  can someone help me with this?
[04:19] <ansichart> blak, Do you know if you can capture packets in promisc mode with your wireless card drivers?
[04:19] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, I will switch back, but continue to monitor Linux development until the succeed in getting their wireless and audio drivers to work properly.......it seems Linux weakness.
[04:20] <blak> Oh yeah, did so with cain in XP
[04:20] <ansichart> blak, And can you put it into monitor mode... test it with TCP dump
[04:20] <Dr_willis> !find xine-faad
[04:20] <ansichart> blak, Well... that's in XP... you have to make sure that you drivers in Linux allow you to do that.
[04:20] <blak> How should I go about that?
[04:20] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  last i looked - the faad stuff was in the medibuntu repositorys
[04:20] <ansichart> blak, what's your wifi card's name? wifi0?
[04:20] <scabflakes> Ubuntu rocks
[04:20] <meoblast001> zelrikriando: how do you zoom to timeline in open movie editor?
[04:20] <ansichart> blak, wlan0
[04:20] <ansichart> blak, ?
[04:21] <blak> wlan0
[04:21] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  or at least some extra libs and stuff was in there. :)
[04:21] <Barqs> Dr_willis: well this is really inconvenient .. I have medibuntu repos added, but it isn't there
[04:21] <mortuis99> !wireless
[04:21] <Barqs> and I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:21] <zelrikriando> meoblast001, I just said I never used it :)
[04:21] <blak> is there a way you can talk 1 on 1?
[04:21] <meoblast001> oh
[04:21] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  its a weakness of the HARDWARE makers - not linux. If they dont support linux - then linux cant support them.
[04:21] <ansichart> blak, alright well to get it into promisc mode simple use ifconfig wlan0 promisc
[04:21] <zelrikriando> meoblast001, I use Kino usually...I dont more for now so....
[04:21] <scabflakes> Has anyone here successfully synced a second gen Zune to Windows within VirtualBox?
[04:22] <blak> k 1 sec
[04:22] <ansichart> blak, and to take it out of promisc mode use -promisc
[04:22] <zelrikriando> meoblast001, does Open Movie Editor look better?
[04:22] <meoblast001> yeah
[04:22] <csa3d> anyone.. disable tilt wheel on a mouse?  Most useless feature, ever.
[04:23] <ansichart> blak, and to put your card into monitor mode... use iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor
[04:23] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  i cant find much mention of xine-faad anyehere on google either.
[04:23] <blak> i did promisc but it didn't give any confirmation of doing so...
[04:23] <ansichart> blak, And hopefully your card will let you do those things... and also send raw packets
[04:23] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, I understand, but from a users standpoint, it is a Linux weakness.  I hope to switch over soon though.!
[04:24] <Barqs> Dr_willis: neither can I :S I'm not sure what libs will give me mp4 and m4a support.. I've installed just about everything I could in a "codec" search
[04:24] <ansichart> blak, type "ifconfig wlan0 | grep promisc" if yo see anything it worked
[04:24] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  from this users standpoint its a hardware makers stupidty issue.  and ive explained it to many a 'windows user' at work. :)
[04:25] <ansichart> You may need to take your card down first before you put it into monitor or promisc mode.  ifconfig wlan0 down... but you will get disconnected
[04:25] <blak> nothing
[04:25] <Theaxiom> What packages should I download to manage hosting on ubuntu?
[04:25] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  check medibuntu for xine, it may be a feature that needs to be compiled into the xine binary. i only recall ever installing the 'faad' libraries and i can play most everything
[04:25] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, I understand 100%.  But as a user, if my hardware does not work, I cannot wait for the manufacturer to change.  I have to go with what he supports.  The way I bought it.
[04:25] <jimmio> Theaxiom: Hosting what? Website? Webmin works great.
[04:25] <ansichart> blak, you'll need to put your card down first before putting it into promisc or monitor mode I believe.  Have you ever used Kismet?
[04:25] <chetnick> how can i view nfs share on remote machine
[04:26] <blak> no
[04:26] <Theaxiom> jimmio: Webmin is not in the repositories, do I need to download it from its own site?
[04:26] <ansichart> blak, well, you'll probably want that if you are going to wardrive... it's pretty essential.
[04:26] <blak> ansichart, can you do 1 on 1 chat somehow?
[04:26] <ansichart> blak, Yea.
[04:26] <jimmio> Theaxiom: Google is your friend. It's free, and in .deb format.
[04:26] <Dr_willis> using webmin is NOT advised. :)
[04:26] <Barqs> Dr_willis: The thing is, all this worked until I followed some guide on ubuntu forums to get avi files to be less choppy. It completely screwed over my flash and mp3 support. So I've fixed those, now onto m4a...
[04:26] <blak> HOW?!?
[04:26] <Theaxiom> jimmio: Thanks
[04:26] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  heh.. i wonder what that guide could of done..
[04:27] <gregbrady> Dr_willis, In other words...my fault for not buying Linux compatible hardware.
[04:27] <thenetduck> I tried to play chess and it tells me this: Does anyone know how to check if my accelerometer on my ThinkPad is working to protect my hard drive?
[04:27] <pike_> chetnick: mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/sharedir /mnt/mountpoint or somesuch
[04:27] <thenetduck> oops
[04:27] <dtolj> blak: keep it public please
[04:27] <thenetduck> does anyone know how to make 3d chess work?
[04:27] <jimmio> Theaxiom: No problem. PM if you need any help with it, I've been using it for years.
[04:27] <Barqs> Dr_willis: Honestly, I'm not sure but it's really getting on my nerves -_-
[04:27] <polygon89> guys, this is a support channel, dont argue here
[04:27] <Dr_willis> gregbrady,  my last laptop works better in linux then it does in vista. :) HP cant even get their own hardware support right with it..
[04:27] <OlderGuy> Anyone know how to alter the size of my mouse pointer in ubuntu - it is too small - running a versa 7200 lappy and usb mouse
[04:27] <Theaxiom> jimmio: I have used it before on web hosting servers, thanks. :)
[04:27] <chetnick> pike_: thanks i know how to mount, i want to know how can i view shares
[04:27] <polygon89> Dr_willis, gregbrady, take it to PM or to discussion channel
[04:28] <burnhamd> how do i boot windows from the grub command line?
[04:28] <Dr_willis> OlderGuy,  i thought the gnome mouse settings had several cursors you could use.. or if using compiz - i THINK there was some mouse scale feature.
[04:28] <burnhamd> it is located on the second partion of the first disk of a sata drive?
[04:28] <chetnick> pike_: on some linux distros there is showmount utility, which i dont have on ubuntu
[04:28] <Barqs> Dr_willis: mp4 files differ from m4a? or are they the same?
[04:29] <polygon89> m4a are audio files.
[04:29] <polygon89> mp4 are video
[04:29] <chetnick> pike_: i was wondering is there anything similar
[04:29] <Barqs> ah
[04:29] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  ive played them all in vlc.
[04:29] <scabflakes> Dr_willis: I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu on my HP laptop...
[04:29] <coderipper1983> !beer
[04:29] <Barqs> so... what exactly do i need for m4a support?
[04:29] <gregbrady> polygon89, understood, sorry.
[04:29] <Barqs> quicktime?
[04:29] <burnhamd> never mind got it
[04:29] <meoblast001> help
[04:29] <tester5> !cake
[04:29] <Dr_willis> scabflakes,  the issue i have is with vista on the laptop.. the volume controlls dont work 'right' :) ubuntu they work fine.
[04:29] <meoblast001> how do you zoom in on the timeline in open movie editor
[04:29] <scabflakes> Yeah.
[04:30] <einstein2001> hello
[04:30] <polygon89> Barqs, installing gstreamer-restricted packages (search for gstreamer in add/remove) should give you playback support for most file formats
[04:30] <Jordan_U> burnhamd: Is windows the first partition on the first disk?
[04:30] <polygon89> Barqs, also, playing stuff in vlc should work, and if that doesnt work, research w32codecs
[04:30] <burnhamd> jordan_U i fixed it
[04:30] <OlderGuy> Cant find anything in the gnome mouse info to do this Doc - but thanks anyway
[04:30] <Ponce> Anyone? I tried performing a fix to let alsa handle different sounds at once but now I can't get sound at all. I tried purging alsa-base and alsa-oss and restoring the fixed files but I still can't even get one sound to work at a time.
[04:30] <pike_> chetnick: wow. im not sure.. konq can do nfs: it but now any kinda admin type tool
[04:30] <Omoikane__> I have a US robotics router and I want to hack into it. I have the pass and login for it and I own and I pay for the connection. I just want to do it because I'm curious.
[04:30] <burnhamd> thanks though
[04:30] <einstein2001> i need a little help with the workspace switcher applet
[04:31] <scabflakes> Dr_willis: I completely wiped Vista off of my laptop, it was making the computer run hot as Hades all of the time.  With Ubuntu, I can run SETI@Home, Windows XP in virtualization, and multitask at the same time with less heat than with Vista sitting idle.  Amazing OS.
[04:31] <PakoTM> hi...
[04:31] <PakoTM> wenas...
[04:31] <polygon89> scabflakes, you sure your laptop isnt killing your hardrive due to the load cycle thing?
[04:31] <meoblast001> ahh
[04:31] <coderipper1983> that is not an ubuntu issue. that is a lack of knowledge of your router. join #hackit
[04:31] <meoblast001> this is irritating me
[04:31] <Barqs> polygon89: Thank you, searching that as we speak
[04:31] <pike_> chetnick: http://tinyurl.com/5j2u2k
[04:31] <scabflakes> polygon89: Nah, it's running smootly.  For now.
[04:31] <tester5> !love | ubot5
[04:32] <scabflakes> Now that you mention it polygon89, I might want to cut back on that, eh? ;-)
[04:32] <polygon89> scabflakes, as in there is an issue where ubuntu wears out your hard drive cause it parks it and unparks it rapidly, have you checked to see if your effected?
[04:32] <scabflakes> No.  I wasn't aware that it did that.  I am a Linux noob.
[04:32] <einstein2001> what direcctory is "/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs" under???
[04:32] <scabflakes> polygon89: How can I verify this?  Just by seeing if it slows down?
[04:33] <jimmio> oh no! Attacked by web browsers that were renamed because of a changed skin that's all? Nooooo! D:
[04:33] <drhe|skt> how can i install wine?? it easy to do?
[04:33] <Tobark> Wait , what does Ubuntu do to your hard drive?
[04:33] <polygon89> scabflakes, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805570
[04:33] <steelfrog> I just installed Xubuntu on an older machine and the font is really, really small. Resolution is fine. Any ideas?
[04:33] <scabflakes> Thanks polygon89
[04:33] <Dr_willis> scabflakes,  ive not notuiced the load cycle issue in the latest release..    :) there was a big stink about it a year or so ago. technically it was the hard drive having over-kill default settings that ubuntu (and OTHER linux and other osss) could use.
[04:33] <scabflakes> :-)
[04:33] <tester5> einstein2001, it's in the program gconf-editor
[04:33] <polygon89> Tobark, its not just ubuntu, its the linux kernel, every distro can be affected. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805570
[04:33] <scabflakes> Dr_willis: I see. Thanks for the info.
[04:33] <einstein2001> tester5....how to navagate there?
[04:33] <Dr_willis> scabflakes,  hopefully the laptop/hd makers noticed the  issue and fixed the issue in new hardware
[04:33] <tester5> einstein2001, just go to a terminal and type gconf-editor
[04:33] <einstein2001> k
[04:34] <pike_> drhe|skt: sudo apt-get install wine    <-- thats about it then you winecfg  then  wine notepad.exe or whatever
[04:34] <Jordan_U> drhe|skt: Installing wine is easy, getting it to run your particular application can range from trivial to unbearably complex ( and sometimes impossible )
[04:34] <Dr_willis> I did not think one needed to run 'winecfg' any more
[04:34] <Omlette> Most of the time though, it's relatively easy.
[04:34] <scabflakes> Possibly Dr_willis
[04:34] <_Doonz> Hey Guys can someone point me in the direction of a software raid gui?

[04:36] <Threethan> I'm having a problem with getting ubuntu to recognize my wireless card, or my router, or heck, I don't know. It just won't connect to the internet, and I've tried that 'Documentation Site' six time. No luck. Any ideas?
[04:36] <einstein2001> tester5....says "cant edit, this will be changed in later version"  ?
[04:36] <drhe|skt> pike_, and Jordan_U, i just want to use newsleecher. i have it installed on this pc, but in the windows boot. can i somehow use that installation? or must i reinstall newsleecher with wine in linux??
[04:37] <tester5> einstein2001, what are you trying to change?
[04:37] <kuloch> Has any ever encountered a problem with grub where the Windows option simply reloads the grub menu?  (take your time; I know there are a bunch of other people here asking for help)
[04:37] <cast> Threethan: is a cat5 cable feasible?
[04:37] <einstein2001> i get an error adding desktop switcher applet
[04:37] <Belboz99> hey all, I'm having  trouble configuring an app called "cvltonemap" which does HDR rendering in real-time on a GPU.   It fails on a test of linking with Qt4, any ideas?
[04:37] <Threethan> Err. Cat5? One of those really big ones? Or the normal ethernet chord?
[04:37] <Jordan_U> kuloch: I have not but I can think of how it would happen, what partition is windows installed to?
[04:38] <cast> Threethan: normal ethernet cord
[04:38] <Belboz99> checking whether linking with Qt4 works... no
[04:38] <Belboz99> configure: error: Qt4 not fully functional
[04:38] <tester5> einstein2001, what kind of error?
[04:38] <kuloch> Jordan_U:  hd0,0  (/dev/sda1)
[04:38] <NickGarvey> Threethan: cat5 is slang for the typical ethernet cord
[04:38] <pike_> drhe|skt: easiest to install using wine. there are a few pretty good newsgroup apps though.
[04:38] <Dr_willis> kuloch,  normally if the menu entry it wrong it would give some error.. Unless the entry is totally wrong perhaps
[04:38] <Threethan> Oh, yeah, it's attached to one alreayd.
[04:38] <Threethan> *already
[04:38] <pike_> drhe|skt: in linux i mean
[04:38] <NickGarvey> Threethan: ah that makes things so much easier
[04:38] <Threethan> I wish. Heh.
[04:38] <einstein2001> Failed: Schema `/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/display_workspace_names' specified for `/apps/panel/applets/applet_1/prefs/display_workspace_names' stores a non-schema value
[04:39] <NickGarvey> Threethan: ok so could you pastebin (if you don't know how to pastebin say so) the output of "sudo ifconfig"
[04:39] <cast> not so much slang, as technical specification
[04:39] <drhe|skt> pike_: i need one that i can use the supersearch though. is there one for that?? i have used pan in the past before.
[04:39] <kuloch> Dr_willis:  I've tried even entering the commands directly via grub's command-line.  Nothing gives an error, but it just reloads the grub menu when I type "boot".
[04:39] <Threethan> I don't, unfortunately.
[04:39] <NickGarvey> !pastebin | Threethan
[04:39] <NickGarvey> Threethan: it's a place to post text so I can see it and help you out
[04:39] <NickGarvey> Threethan: without bombing the channel
[04:39] <Threethan> Aww crap. It's on the other drive on this computer.
[04:40] <einstein2001> i removed the switcher from hte panel and when i tried to get it back i got that error. and only one window
[04:40] <NickGarvey> Threethan: what is?
[04:40] <sergiumihai> anyone know, how to make menu from DVD movies in Mplayer to be interactive?
[04:40] <einstein2001> the option to show all workspaces is greyed out so i cant change
[04:40] <tester5> einstein2001, hmm, are you using ubuntu 6.06?
[04:41] <einstein2001> hardy 8.04
[04:41] <csa3d> anyone know how to block keycodes sent by the mouse wheel
[04:41] <SeeknDestroy> I've had some problems recently with DOSBox freezing when I exit some graphical programs (games)... the Ubuntu becomes completely unresponsive... and I've found I"m able to get into some kind of shell with some F-Key shortcut and list/kill the process with top/kill -3... after I kill the frozen program, how do I EXIT that shell back to my desktop/GUI?
[04:42] <avarice> startx
[04:42] <avarice> i think
[04:42] <jimmio> csa3d: Maybe try setting a shortcut in metacity that uses the button and runs an unused command?
[04:42] <einstein2001> can i remove the reinstall gnome-panel and app?lets
[04:42] <avarice> it will restart desktop]
[04:42] <einstein2001> then reinstall
[04:42] <Threethan> NickGarvey: The ubuntu program is on my other srive on this computer. I'm dual-booting.
[04:42] <Jordan_U> SeeknDestroy: ctrl+alt+F7
[04:42] <Threethan> *drive
[04:42] <SeeknDestroy> Jordan : THat's what entered me into the shell, but it doesn't get me out
[04:43] <Jordan_U> SeeknDestroy: Try F7-F10
[04:43] <avarice> did you try the obvious command exit?
[04:43] <csa3d> jimmio:  I have an application which requires middle button to be held down, and often the side macro is trigger accidentally
[04:43] <SeeknDestroy> What do you mean by F7-F10?
[04:43] <NickGarvey> Threethan: ah, well it's hard to fix wireless under linux unless.. you are under linux :)
[04:43] <tester5> einstein2001, maybe in synaptic you could right click rthem and "mark for reinstallation"
[04:43] <NickGarvey> SeeknDestroy: keys at the top of your keyboard
[04:43] <salmon> question: so all the sudden sound stopes working in flash apps. i have libflashsupport and pulse audio. sound works everywhere else just not in flash. any idea?
[04:43] <SeeknDestroy> lol duh
[04:44] <Jordan_U> SeeknDestroy: try ctrl+alt+F8, ctrl+alt+F9 ...
[04:44] <Threethan> If I were under linux, I couldn't be in here to ask for help. lol
[04:44] <Daisuke_Ido> SeeKer320: try ctrl+alt+f8, or ctrl+alt+f9, etc, etc
[04:44] <einstein2001> k, i'll try that
[04:44] <SeeknDestroy> I tried combinations of ctrl+alt+every key on the keyboard
[04:44] <Dr_willis> kuloch,  not sure about that then. could try reinstalling grub..  Hopefully the windows drive is still there/useable. Other then that. i got no idea where to begin troubleshooting
[04:44] <SeeknDestroy> and none of them exited me from that shell
[04:44] <sazma> anyone good at identifying fonts in Ubuntu screenshots? :)
[04:44] <kavon> I set up IP masquerading on my server, it has 2 nic's. anyway, i had set all the rules using sudo iptables commands. Will they still be there when i reboot?
[04:44] <avarice> speaking of wireless, is anyone here very confident about wireless configuration?
[04:44] <SeeknDestroy> typing "exit" or "logout" only brought up a new shell
[04:44] <NickGarvey> SeeknDestroy: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start when you are in that shell
[04:44] <Jordan_U> SeeknDestroy: Ok, try running "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart"
[04:44] <Kai_wp> How would one go about making a script to run in the terminal? Just type the commands line by line like you would in the terminal, save it to an extension-less file and give it execution permissions?
[04:44] <einstein2001> tester5.........rthem is what i'm looking for in synaptic?
[04:44] <NickGarvey> Jordan_U: beat you
[04:44] <Dr_willis> SeeknDestroy,  the 'consoles' are normally on 'alt-ctrl-f1 through F6' and X  (IF X is running) is on alt-ctrl-F7
[04:44] <SeeknDestroy> ahhhh thank you
[04:45] <Dr_willis> SeeknDestroy,  if X is not running.. well it wont be on F7 :)
[04:45] <CH23> i can't select the menu from dvd
[04:45] <kuloch> Dr_willis:  Now that you mention it, I should probably have Windows try repairing the MBR to make sure the partition is still bootable, then re-installing grub to give it another go.  Thanks for the suggestion.
[04:45] <NickGarvey> CH23: arrow keys?
[04:45] <sazma> what font is this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/CafeConLeche?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=cafe.png
[04:45] <jimmio> csa3d: Hmm...
[04:45] <CH23> NickGarvey: i try to select from menu with mouse, it is needed to use keys arrow?)
[04:46] <CH23> the menu*
[04:46] <trojatra> How can I reset my desktop icons (user, computer, network, trash)
[04:46] <avarice> after some careful searching i got my wusb54gs v2.1 to run under linux, but when i bring up network settings and try to connect it detects my router but even with the correct wep it fails to connect
[04:46] <NickGarvey> CH23: if the arrows work.. then why not use them?
[04:46] <tester5> einstein2001, that was a typo... probably "gnome-panel" and "gnome-panel-data"
[04:46] <einstein2001> thanks
[04:46] <csa3d> jimmio: been messing with trying to figure out if it can be blocked using .imwheelrc, but the side scrolling thing isn't an actual hardware button
[04:47] <CH23> NickGarvey, i thought that is possible to navigate trouv menu with cursor)
[04:47] <jarour> hola
[04:47] <dam0> what alternative do i have from xchat to chat on irc?
[04:47] <NickGarvey> CH23: maybe?.. I always just used the arrow keys though.. do you really need to use the mouse?
[04:47] <Dr_willis> dam0,  i perfer xchat to xchat-gnome or most other irc clients.
[04:47] <jimmio> dam0: pidgin? http://pidgin.im/
[04:47] <Belboz99> anyone have any ideas why this won't compile?  http://rafb.net/p/E57DGm35.html
[04:48] <cn28h> I built the pristine <IP_ADDRESS> kernel, but when I try to boot it hangs on "waiting for root filesystem"... any idea what might be wrong? I'm on Hardy and used mkinitramfs to create the ramdisk

[04:48] <dVs> how do i get a desklet to work . or run or whatever . http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/My+conky+config?content=85196
[04:48] <Dr_willis> Belboz99,  just a guess.. you need more of the qt4 developer related packages installed.
[04:48] <meek> ansichart: oops thats old
[04:48] <Belboz99> Dr_willis: you mean like debug?
[04:49] <Daisuke_Ido> conky's not quite a desklet
[04:49] <jimmio> Belboz99: Do you have the development packages installed?
[04:49] <Dr_willis> Belboz99,  no idea on the specifics. I would search the package manager for qt4 files that seem dev related
[04:49] <Belboz99> Dr_willis: because I do have qt4-devel-tools installed
[04:49] <Dr_willis> Belboz99,  i would look again and try installing any you dont have installed
[04:49] <Threethan> NickGarvey: Any general hints, or tips that I could look for? I don't get it, but I can try and figure it out with a couple of 'common reasons why' type scenerio.
[04:49] <Belboz99> jimmio: yeah, I have all the dev tools, but not the debug tools
[04:49] <jimmio> Belboz99: is there a qt4-dev?
[04:49] <trojatra> How can I reset my desktop icons (user, computer, network, trash)?
[04:49] <NickGarvey> Threethan: well.. this is helpful
[04:49] <Daisuke_Ido> jimmio: it's actually libqt4-dev
[04:49] <Belboz99> jimmio: qt4-devel-tools

[04:50] <Belboz99> Daisuke_Ido: I have that too
[04:50] <NickGarvey> Threethan: but if that didn't work.. then I'm not sure what to tell you
[04:50] <tester5> einstein2001, hmm, there's also "gnome-applets" and "gnome-applets-data" you could try out too if those other ones don't work
[04:50] <Threethan> Err.. it's not wireless though.
[04:50] <CH23> NickGarvey, don't know, i can't go to the Main menu..

[04:50] <NickGarvey> CH23: can you hit enter?
[04:50] <NickGarvey> CH23: like will that work?
[04:50] <einstein2001> okay

[04:51] <tester5> quentusrex, using launchpad?
[04:51] <Threethan> My ubuntu isn't allowing me to connect to the internet via a cat5 (is that right?) .
[04:51] <ice_cream> floodbot can go to hell

[04:51] <CH23> NickGarvey dosen't work'\
[04:52] <meek> Threethan: i can help u with that
[04:52] <Threethan> I know it works, because... tada. I'm on it in my windows account. But when I try to boot to my ubuntu, which is the same set up, it won't connect to the internet.
[04:52] <NickGarvey> CH23: have you tried totem or similar?
[04:52] <Kai_wp> What exactly does the command "sh" do in the terminal?
[04:52] <einstein2001> tester5...gnome-panel reinstall diddnt work. now trying gnome-applets.
[04:52] <Threethan> I'm seriously all ears, meek.

[04:53] <Qster> is it possible to get animated backgrounds in ubuntu like windows vista?
[04:53] <Dr_willis> Kai_wp,  yes.. it runs a 'sh' shell.
[04:53] <drhe|skt> how can i kill this newsleecher?? heh. it didnt load. and the Force app is not killing it.? is there a terminal kill command?
[04:53] <Daisuke_Ido> or if followed by a script, runs that script with sh (rather than bash or dash) and returns to the previous shell
[04:53] <NickGarvey> drhe|skt: alt-f2, type "xkill" and click the window
[04:53] <tester5> quentusrex, there is a little post on setting up your own repository here: http://news.launchpad.net/cool-new-stuff/personal-package-archives
[04:53] <ansichart> meek, helping blak with it... and yes

[04:54] <drhe|skt> NickGarvey: thank you!
[04:54] <Qster> like windows has a background thats waves hitting the beach
[04:54] <NickGarvey> drhe|skt: yup, very good to know when programs don't play nice :)
[04:54] <ice_cream> i guess that'd be a .gif ..?
[04:54] <Daisuke_Ido> sure, you can kill cycles and drive up your power bill with a background that's dynamically animated even while you're not there, cehck out enlightenment
[04:55] <jimmio> Vista can play a .mpg in the background file.
[04:55] <`Butthead> can someone point me in the right direction, I want to know how to change the default start location of where a window opens on the desktop.
[04:55] <Dr_willis> jimmio,  well if you have the uber-high-end-version of vista i hear... :)
[04:55] <ice_cream> computers arent really the cause of big power bills
[04:56] <jimmio> Vista 32bit Ultimate Crap edition.
[04:56] <Vialas1> hi everyone,
[04:56] <Qster> can ubuntu play mpg in background file?
[04:56] <einstein2001> tester5....still no luck.  would removing then reinstall be any different?
[04:56] <ice_cream> that gives me an idea.. make a "crap" theme
[04:56] <Dr_willis> jimmio,  my laptop has the uber-64bit vista.. :) i wonder if it can do it.. i rarely boot vista on it.
[04:56] <drhe|skt> anyone know if there is something similiar to newsleecher for linux? something that handles supersearch???
[04:56] <Vialas1> im having trouble installing UBUNTU i think its a problem with either my monitor or gcard.... i just get a blank screen
[04:56] <ice_cream> literally, brown window borders, shit for a background picture

[04:57] <_Doonz> is software raid 5 availible on ubuntu?

[04:58] <ice_cream> at one point, when i get a new laptop, i'll take out all necessary parts from this one, including the touchpad, then fill it with cellulite or w/e it's called (the explosive black powder)
[04:59] <einstein2001> ok, i'm there again but not allowed to edit.
[04:59] <ice_cream> then make a trail and light it =D
[04:59] <ice_cream> supposed to burn at like 1k degrees celsius i think?
[04:59] <tester5> einstein2001, OK, go to /apps/panel/applets/ for a sec
[05:00] <ice_cream> i should say 'flammable' not 'explosive'
[05:00] <jimmio> sorry for all the offtopic-ness... but I always wanted to make a PC desk with the computer physically IN the desk... the motherboard mounted directly against the wood...

[05:06] <wh00mp> im not talking about this pc, ands im scared that you allready know it is on this one :?
[05:07] <einstein2001> thanks tester5...its getting late here. I'll follow up tomorrow.
[05:07] <jimmio> ice_cream: it is if you're using the standard Ubuntu install disk... Compiz is on and in use standard now. and just adding the cofig manager all features can be turned on.
[05:07] <ice_cream> trojatra, probably somewhere in  ~/.gnome  or ~/.yourwindowmanager  etc

[05:10] <ice_cream> ja ne
[05:10] <trojatra> ice_cream, I can't find it. I use Gnome/Metacity/Nautilus/Compiz

[05:10] <RifleEyes> is anyone here good at testdisk?
[05:10] <trojatra> ice_cream, the desktop is managed through gConf
[05:10] <Zane> whats a good svn client?
[05:10] <sotec_prod> Let's say that I have an NTFS partition that isn't recognized in fstab, but is accessible from Ubuntu. If I copy files from the NTFS to the linux partition, will they stay? I had an issue awhile back with the reverse. Lost a LOT of files copying to that NTFS part. from Ubuntu.
[05:11] <RaZMataZ> sotec_prod, linux can (in general) read from NTSF but not write to NTSF
[05:11] <sam_delta> jimmio, check out truecrypt
[05:11] <tester5> jimmio, I hear that the version of ubuntu coming out in October will have a readymade encrypted folder in the home directory
[05:11] <RaZMataZ> sotec_prod, so you should be okay to copy files to your linux partition from ntsf
[05:11] <Jordan_U> RaZMataZ: That hasn't been true for a while
[05:11] <Dr_willis> sotec_prod,  if you copy files from one filesystem to anotehr.. they are copied.. thats it..  they dont 'vanish' unless you did a 'link' instead of a copy
[05:11] <ice_cream> trojatra, ok, hopefully someone here will know, as i dont use gnome anymore
[05:11] <sotec_prod> RaZ: awesome. that's what I wanted to know
[05:11] <tester5> einstein2001, that sounds good then, since he says he fixed it on that page
[05:11] <ice_cream> @changing desktop icon settings
[05:11] <sam_delta> hey, im about to do a /home backup using the command "tar cvfz output input", is there something i need to exclude while backing up (its just the home partition)
[05:11] <trojatra> Can anyone tell me where the desktop icon settings will be stored under Gnome?
[05:11] <thearthur_> whats that package that lets you twiddle all the compiz-fusion settings like desktop cube and the like?
[05:11] <bofh80> sotec_prod, you want to install ntfs-3g   is you want to write to ntfs
[05:11] <jimmio> only reason I was wondering was the right-click option Encrypt...
[05:11] <RaZMataZ> Jordan_U, if it can still read.. it solves his problem. ;)
[05:11] <Jordan_U> RaZMataZ: ntfs-3g is included ( and used ) by most distros now
[05:12] <sotec_prod> Dr_Willis: I moved the files, rebooted into windows, and they were gone.
[05:12] <RaZMataZ> but that's good to know thanks.
[05:12] <wh00mp> Dr_willis, yes that is what i was looking for, just for next time so i know i can find out by hitting !cube?
[05:12] <wh00mp> thnks
[05:12] <sotec_prod> I have ntfs-3g installed, and did at that time as well
[05:12] <einstein2001> yeah, it looks like something i can handle. thanks again.
[05:12] <wh00mp> thanks(
[05:12] <ice_cream> !icons
[05:12] <ice_cream> hmm
[05:12]  * ice_cream shrugs
[05:13] <spx2> in GNU screen how do I store layout of the vertical/horizontal splits ?
[05:13] <Dr_willis> sotec_prod,  i imagine it was somthing you did strangely ..   if you copy the files.. the data is copied..
[05:13] <gsevil> why I can't kill a process, like scim, "sudo kill -9  PID" but it's still there, what's the problem, I use ubuntu 8.04
[05:13] <sotec_prod> that's what's so perturbing, that I have all the necessary prerequisites, and the files just vanished after moving them (should have copied first, but I trusted it)
[05:13] <bofh80> sotec_prod, as a rule, you don't want to write to the ntfs, unless windows has shutdown cleanly on it. and also to run a chkdsk on the drive first.
[05:13] <RaZMataZ> sotec_prod, i would cp and then rm instead of mv.
[05:13] <Dougieguy> hey yall
[05:13] <tester5> thearthur, compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:13] <ckyle> does Geany support debugging in the IDE?
[05:14] <ckyle> read help, but can't find any info
[05:14] <jimmio> g++ ./makeOperatingSystem.cpp -o ./Operatingsystem.bin
[05:14] <jimmio> if only =P
[05:15] <ckyle> Geany's a rockin' little program xcept no debug :-(
[05:15] <tester5> gsevil, you have to replace "PID" with the actual number
[05:15] <sotec_prod> yea, like I said, Windows was properly shut down in advance. I was only moving files to gain space in Ubuntu, but now that I have another drive, I'd like to consolidate all of the media on my new linux drive. I just want to make sure that when I copy from NTFS to ext3, they'll stick and not die when I reboot or logout.
[05:15] <Vialas1> im geting a blank screen after the 'ubuntu loading' thing during the install... any help?
[05:15] <ice_cream> lol
[05:16] <Gun_Smoke> Vialas1, You could try the AlternateCD
[05:16] <ice_cream> @tester5 =P
[05:16] <sotec_prod> in theory, copied files SHOULD stay, but they didn't, and that's why I'm asking for confirmation before I start getting crazy with crossplatform media management
[05:16] <kindofabuzz> how can i find more detailed info on my processor? i know about cat /proc/cpuinfo, basically i need to know what AMD i got
[05:16] <trojatra> My desktop Trash icon won't update when I put stuff in it, it stays empty..
[05:16] <sotec_prod> again.
[05:16] <CarlFK> quentusrex_lapto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb  might be what you want
[05:16] <sotec_prod> trojatra: just open the Trash folder and empty it from there
[05:16] <trojatra> sotec_prod, I know that, but I want it to update :|
[05:17] <sotec_prod> trojatra: my Trash always shows empty as well. I have to open the actual folder and empty it from there.
[05:17] <sotec_prod> trojatra: me too!
[05:17] <sotec_prod> I don't think AWN updates the Trash though....
[05:17] <sotec_prod> someone should fix that
[05:17] <ice_cream> silly gnome =)
[05:17] <gsevil> tester5: sure, i write that for you to read, I did it with number, but it still don't work
[05:17] <trojatra> I don't think so either, but I'm talking about on my desktop
[05:17] <jimmio> What's the keyboard shortcut for show desktop?.... I'm going insane trying to press Super+D...
[05:18] <Gun_Smoke> trojatra, sudo lshw
[05:18] <sotec_prod> Thanks guys, from now on I'll cp then rm to ensure file integrity.
[05:18] <Gun_Smoke> trojatra, sorry,
[05:18] <ice_cream> jimmio, maybe go into the preferences of your wm and configure shortcuts?
[05:18] <trojatra> Gun_Smoke, :P
[05:18] <Gun_Smoke> kindofabuzz, sudo lshw
[05:18] <tester5> gsevil, did you get the number from running "ps"?
[05:18] <ckyle> jimmio - just map a key using keyboard shortcuts in the System menu
[05:19] <Khisanth> ctrl+alt+d
[05:19] <kindofabuzz> Gun_Smoke, thanks buddie
[05:19] <Gun_Smoke> kindofabuzz, np
[05:19] <ckyle> too cool -ctrl-alt-d it is!
[05:19] <jimmio> Khisanth: Thank you! There was no shortcut in the edit thing...
[05:21] <Barqs> guys what conf file do i edit to make pulse the default playback?
[05:21] <Balam_> hola buenas noches
[05:21] <ianm_> on linux, anyone know what technology I should be using to get a single opengl app to show across two monitors (laptop LCD and projector)
[05:22] <nomoresudo> howdy. i made a very big mistake. i have enabled the root password and then disabled it. now it seems to be broken. any ways to fix this? how can i get back the root account as it was before?
[05:22] <tester5> gsevil, maybe see if there is a parent process with "ps -ejH" and then kill the parent, and it will die too
[05:22] <CH23> Balam_ buenas dziuas
[05:22] <CH23> :))
[05:22] <ianm_> Balam_: #ubuntu-es che !
[05:22] <hml> is it map a hot key, like c-[somekey] as capslock?

[05:25] <Kai_wp> When writing a bash script is it possible to color certain text?
[05:25] <Kai_wp> I mean, make it so that certain text will appear colored in the terminal.
[05:25] <Finger>  I need to rename a file but it says I'm not allowed, is there some admin thing I need to sign into before it will let me?
[05:25] <os2mac> Finger: Sudo command
[05:26] <ckyle> Finger - use sudo in the terminal
[05:27] <Finger> can I get something specific telling me sudo in the console doesnt really tell me how to do it
[05:27] <ckyle> launch the terminal program
[05:27] <ckyle> Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[05:27] <ckyle> that will launch a terminal (console program)
[05:28] <tester5> Finger, go to the terminal, then type "sudo nautilus" and then you have a file browser with full permissions
[05:28] <legend2440> Finger: to rename a file    sudo cp <filename> <newfilename>
[05:28] <ckyle> At the prompt, type "sudo command_you_want_to_do"
[05:28] <ckyle> even better, what tester 5 said
[05:28] <Overand> Does anyone know what a good, current, maintained, and cross-platform (*nix console and windows probably) darknet app ala "WASTE" is?
[05:28] <Finger> I dont need to do a command, I'm trying to rename a file and I need some admin privledge to do so
[05:28] <os2mac> when it asks you for a password... enter the one you used to login.
[05:29] <os2mac> Finger "sudo cp filename newfilename
[05:29] <cheesemold> hey, i want to setup a RAID 1 with two drives, one of which has the partition which i would like to be mirrored by the other.  Will 'mdadm' allow me to do this?
[05:29] <drhe|skt> how can i switch back to gnome from kde?
[05:30] <nikolam> Hi How do I add new settings for my new monitor for X server?
[05:30] <bpk> hey guys, i'm having trouble with init.d
[05:30] <Khisanth> Kai_wp: yes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_color
[05:31] <ckyle> finger: do "sudo nautilus" from the terminal, like Tester5 suggested and you will have a file-browser window where you can rename to your heart's content
[05:31] <bpk> there seems to be an issue with init.d
[05:31] <os2mac> bpk:  wassup?
[05:32] <[SCKESLUNA]> quick question, i installed the hx theme from gnome-look, but the skin won't stay in place after i closed it, any way to keep it as default skin?
[05:32] <SecMonk> Anyone get Evolution in 8.04 to connect to an Exchange 2003/2007 server?
[05:32] <saotome> I have a webcam. Anybody know a good app for recording video from it and storing it to a file (preferably in a compressed state)?
[05:32] <Khisanth> Kai_wp: echo -en "\E[34mfoo\E[0m" would print foo in a dark blue
[05:33] <cheesemold> Can anyone help me with my mildly atypical RAID 1 setup issue?
[05:33] <Overand> SecMonk: I believe there's an incompatability with 2007
[05:33] <Overand> I've had trouble with it - even with 2007 in '2003 compatibility mode'
[05:33] <tester5> Khisanth, cool coloring man
[05:33] <bullgard4> 'sudo modinfo nvram' is not verbose. Where can I find a manual for nvram?
[05:34] <SecMonk> Overand: Ah, my bad - just found it in bugtraq - it's a known bug and being worked.  Thanks!
[05:34] <Graham70> good day room
[05:34] <Overand> SecMonk: you can use imap, but obiously that loses a lot of features outside of e-mail
[05:34] <BiNaRyCoDe> Anyone care to tell me how to configure my xserver?
[05:34] <[SCKESLUNA]> any solutions to the VLC problem?
[05:34] <SecMonk> Overand: Yeah - I really need the calendar features - slave to the machine that I am.
[05:35] <ckyle> BiN - what do you want to configure about it?
[05:35] <BiNaRyCoDe> actually nevermind guyz thanks anywayz
[05:35] <Overand> SecMonk: i believe wine or 'crossoveroffice' will run outlook - ick
[05:35] <Overand> SecMonk: I'm in the same situation - I ended up acctually setting up a seperate windows box with its own monitor and I use 'synergy'
[05:35] <entropy89> anyone down to try to help me with some begginner c++ code? i've got something wrong and can't find it!
[05:36] <SecMonk> Overand: Hmmm.  That might work for me actually.  I forgot that Wine just went 'stable'. :-)  I'm going to give it a try.
[05:36] <tester5> Hey, how do I install the photo zooming software that they use on CSI?
[05:36] <ckyle> entropy89 - lay it on us...
[05:36] <Overand> SecMonk: there's also virtualbox, vmware server, etc
[05:36] <Gun_Smoke> tester5, it's tv
[05:36] <entropy89> ckyle: again whats the website to post code?
[05:36] <gsevil>  tester5: surely I did, first , use top to find what's eating CPU, use ps to get further info, then kill, but no work, no error, but it's still there
[05:36] <entropy89> where i can input it and it outputs me a link
[05:37] <ckyle> try to explain your question here, if possible...
[05:37] <ckyle> if it's basic...
[05:37] <Graham70> Can anyone help me with my gps (garmin) to work with ubuntu eg running a programe like map source
[05:37] <BiNaRyCoDe> Hey guyz, could anyone plz tell me how step by step to get to the xserver configuration?
[05:37] <entropy89> well i've got a messed up if else statement somewhere along this, but i cant find it at all
[05:37] <entropy89> im positive its correct
[05:38] <tester5> gsevil, what if you try the gnome-system-monitor (click system>administration>system monitor)... it has a process list, and you can right click and choose kill
[05:38] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com entropy89
[05:38] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  the xserver is configured by the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  theres various tools to alter that file. Its just an ascii/text file
[05:38] <ckyle> it's not correct... or you wouldn't be asking, right?
[05:39] <Violetbass> system/systemproperties/deamons givs a authfailure! whats up?
[05:39] <Dr_willis> ckyle,  'very logical '  :)
[05:39] <ckyle> isolate the code into it's own function and then start stripping it down... you'll find the problem if you're methodical
[05:39] <Violetbass> is this a connflict with rcconf?
[05:40] <gsevil>  tester5: i prefer command line. and I think that's problem.
[05:40] <cheesemold> Can anyone help me out with a RAID 1 issue?
[05:40] <entropy89> http://paste.ubuntu.com/41446/ - towards the bottom
[05:40] <entropy89> i feel like i've got a bracket misplaced but i've look it over for 15 minutes. nothin'
[05:40] <entropy89> (line 56)
[05:40] <corinth> Alright, let's see if anyone can help me tackle this this time. :-)
[05:41] <tester5> gsevil, maybe it is getting killed but then respawning right away. does the PID change every time you try to kill it?
[05:41] <Dr_willis> entropy89,  a editor with 'folding' features comes in handy at such times.
[05:41] <BiNaRyCoDe> ckyle: I know its 'just' a text file but still I'm a first time linux user and I dont know how to edit the file, I just installed ubuntu and I need to configure the file in order to make it work
[05:41] <entropy89> dr_willis: reccomendations?
[05:41] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  'sudo nano /path/to/file' BACKUP THE ORIGINAL first.
[05:41] <corinth> I installed KDE 3 and KDE 4 through sudo apt-get install kubunt-desktop && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop, and now I want to remove both KDE 3, KDE 4, and all the packages they installed. How can I do this?
[05:42] <Flannel> BiNaRyCoDe: first do sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/file.bak
[05:42] <Khisanth> gsevil: what is the program thta you are trying to kill?
[05:42] <BiNaRyCoDe> The problem is that I dont have a login prompt to type anything
[05:42] <Dr_willis> entropy89,  ive been using geany a lot lately. colorisez and folds and has lots of neat features
[05:42] <tester5> corinth, sudo apt-get remove
[05:42] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  'alt-ctrl-f1' to get to the console perhaps?
[05:42] <BiNaRyCoDe> When I boot computer it boots the linux loader image then goes blank....so how can I get to the command prompt?
[05:42] <BiNaRyCoDe> ok
[05:43] <tester5> corinth, ah nevermind, I see what you're asking
[05:43] <gsevil> Khisanth: I want to kill what process is eating CPU, like tracker, evolution, and restart scim to load new configuration, but I
[05:43] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,   try the recovery/rescue feature from the grub menu?
[05:43] <corinth> tester5: As I understand it, kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-kde4-desktop are both metapackages, and therefore removing them will only remove those packages, right?
[05:43] <ckyle> remove the final } - line 64
[05:43] <coderipper1983> .meetme
[05:43] <Dr_willis> corinth,  correct. Unless you used appitude to install them
[05:44] <gsevil> tester5: PID was not change, that's problem
[05:44] <ckyle> nevermind - that closes main()
[05:44] <legend2440> !puregnome | corinth
[05:44] <BiNaRyCoDe> Dr_willis: it does the same thing--goes blank screen, I need to configure zee file --xorg
[05:44] <Gun_Smoke> corinth, I would have used aptitude to install them..
[05:44] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  if the recovery/rescue mode gives a blank screen.. then ya got a bigger issue.. It dosent spawn X if i recall correctly. so its not a xorg.conf issue.
[05:45] <tester5> corinth, yeah, there is an interesting discussion about that here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=498077
[05:45] <BiNaRyCoDe> By the way anyone know if a radeon 7200 video card works with ubuntu??????
[05:45] <corinth> What's the big difference between using apt-get and aptitude? I typically use apt-get because it's faster for me, since I usually have a terminal open.
[05:45] <entropy89> ckyle, nothin. same error, same line
[05:45] <gsevil> and where's ubuntu store boot script for program like scim, evolution, I want to disable them
[05:45] <tester5> corinth, I think it's mentioned in that link
[05:45] <corinth> Yeah, just read that. Wow, I'll be smarter next time, heh.
[05:45] <Flannel> corinth: Theyre different programs.  Aptitude has a little textmode gui if you call it with no arguments.  But with arguments they're comperable.
[05:46] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  so when you selecte revovery you dont see a lot of 'text' messages go scrolling by eh?
[05:46] <BiNaRyCoDe> I do
[05:46] <BiNaRyCoDe> but
[05:46] <BiNaRyCoDe> I am wondering if a radeon 7200 videocard works with ubuntu
[05:46] <BiNaRyCoDe> it seems not to
[05:46] <corinth> Anyone know of a similar guide for removing KDE 4?
[05:46] <Jordan_U> gsevil: System -> Preferences -> Session
[05:46] <Dr_willis> Working with 'X' is one thing - it should work with the console,
[05:46] <Khisanth> gsevil: those should be in /etc/init.d but I don't see why evolution would be in there
[05:47] <Khisanth> gsevil: or scim
[05:47] <ckyle> remove curly brace at end of line 44 - ya's got an extra one there
[05:47] <BiNaRyCoDe> Dr_willis: running recovery mode
[05:47] <Dr_willis> I dont use ati cards any more. so i have no idea what ones work  anymore
[05:47] <Barqs> Guys, How would I go about adding ~/.Xmodmap to the startup?
[05:48] <gsevil>  Jordan_U , Khisanth : I prefer command line, disable evolution cause it ate CPU 100%, and I use thunderbird
[05:48] <ckyle> entropy89 - remove } at end of line 44
[05:48] <Barqs> It has my multimedia keys configured in there, and last thing I need is to get it to run at startup rather then manually
[05:48] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,   you might want to disable the 'framebuffer' in the normal boot options. that may be why you are seeing no error messages on a normal bootup.
[05:48] <BiNaRyCoDe> I see error messages
[05:48] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  i thought the normal X startup did read that file.
[05:48] <Khisanth> gsevil: sudo apt-get remove evolution :)
[05:48] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  thats a start at least. :)
[05:48] <Gun_Smoke> corinth, I believe on the forums there is a post with each package you can remove..
[05:49] <Barqs> Dr_willis: Oh, it does by default? Finally something convenient :O. Btw, turns out that m4a file i was trying to play was corrupted. I wonder how that happened... Anywho, thanks for the help!
[05:49] <entropy89> ckyle, damn. sure enough. why doesn't that bracket end the if (gross_pay>=0) statement though?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> Barqs,  :)
[05:49] <BiNaRyCoDe> Dr_willis: everytime the "Loading Hardware Drivers" appears its takes forever and then it doesnt say ok
[05:49] <entropy89> ahh! it does. i had another if else fit in between!
[05:50] <entropy89> ckyle, thank you sir!
[05:50] <BiNaRyCoDe> Dr_willis: the loading hardware drivers takes forever and doesnt say ok
[05:50] <userbn> gaga
[05:50] <cheesemold> I'm requesting help for a RAID 1 array, any takers?
[05:50] <ckyle> entropy89 - that's what line 50 is for ;-)
[05:51] <vipaca> How can you zoom?
[05:51] <gsevil> Khisanth: what i want is to understand why I can't kill a process, and how to disable some services, not uninstall them.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  you may need to manally install the ati/fglrx drivers from the command line. then test them with 'startx' perhaps.
[05:51] <neil_d> is there a way to stop a user from changing there screen saver ?
[05:51] <daedric> cheesemold, i'll take it. Send it to me... :D
[05:51] <BiNaRyCoDe> Dr_willis: would a nvidia Velocity 128 work with ubuntu???
[05:51] <Gun_Smoke> corinth, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[05:51] <Dr_willis> neil_d,  i recall gnome and kde both having some sort of koisk/locked down settings feature.. but ive never used it.
[05:52] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  it should.
[05:52] <BiNaRyCoDe> ok
[05:52] <cheesemold> daedric, I need to make a RAID 1 array where one of the drives i wish to use already has the partition i want mirrored
[05:52] <zSoilworker> !grub
[05:52] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  most nvidia cards work better then ati
[05:52] <entropy89> ckyle, i knew it had to be a damned bracket somewhere! haha thanks. any good compilers you know of use the line system?
[05:52] <BiNaRyCoDe> great....so now I have to figure how to configure the xserver file to configure it for the nvidia velocity
[05:52] <daedric> gsevil, not all process can be killed... and even those that can... sometimes they enter such a bad state that even then the kernel cannot kill them. As to disable "services" i would check /etc/init.d
[05:52] <entropy89> where it uses "lines" to break down if else statements and the whatnot
[05:52] <jimmio> alright.... now I needa have a talk with my girlfriend... she somehow got a program named "penis" into /usr/bin... and I was randomly typing things in a terminal.... and it said "I AM A PENIS!"... so I'm guessing she's learning C? =D
[05:52] <Khisanth> gsevil: but evolution is not a service
[05:53] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx' or nvidia-glx-legacy, or nvidia-glx-new :) should do it
[05:53] <tester5> neil_d, how about deleting all the other screen savers
[05:53] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  dependign on how old the card is
[05:53] <prince_jammys> heh
[05:53] <daedric> cheesemold, that should not be a issue. you would just have to reactivate the array with both the new old drive (with data) and with the new drive.
[05:53] <neil_d> tester5: how would I do that ?
[05:53] <daedric> the system SHOULD notices the diference and begin restoring the array.
[05:53] <daedric> alas... the actual method... depends on how are you trying to solve the RAID problem
[05:54] <mikedep333> hey, does ubuntu use aiglx, or xgl, for the graphical effects?
[05:54] <SecMonk> jimmio: she should submit that to the testing repository.  :)
[05:54] <daedric> you refered partition... perhaps a FD type partition... for Linux SoftRaid.
[05:54] <BiNaRyCoDe> Dr_Willis: how can I get to the command prompt in linux? do I have to press a key combination at boot up or what?
[05:54] <cheesemold> daedric, what do you mean how i'm trying to solve it?  I'm thinking of using 'mdadm'
[05:54] <blak> does this thing keep a log?
[05:54] <kindofabuzz> no but the internet does
[05:54] <djhash> blak: this thing has a name?
[05:55] <kindofabuzz> google irc logs
[05:55] <cheesemold> daedric, I don't think so, and it doesn't need to boot off it.  I have a computer with 3 drives, two are the identical data drives, the third is what i boot off of
[05:55] <jimmio> SecMonk: Yea... needs a bit of work to make it into the repositories I think </sarcasm>
[05:55] <blak> djhash, does the Ubuntu server keep a log that I can read?
[05:55] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  if you boot 'normally' to X. the consoles are on the alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 screens.
[05:55] <djhash> blak: /var/logs
[05:55] <cheesemold> daedric: my problem is that every guide i've looked up has a step that instructs you to reformat the raid 1 after you make it to "make it usable"
[05:55] <daedric> cheesemold, question... are you restoring a array... or creating one ?
[05:55] <djhash> sorry.. thats /var/log
[05:55] <blak> thanks
[05:55] <Khisanth> gsevil: you can use update-rc.d to enable/disable services from the command line
[05:56] <Dr_willis> BiNaRyCoDe,  I have no idea why the ati card is messing up the console.  Could be the framebuffer. may not be..
[05:56] <DOT3CH> is their an anonymous surfing app for ubuntu
[05:56] <kindofabuzz> blak, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[05:56] <cheesemold> daedric: creating an array where i have manually made both drives contain the data i want saved (sort of a manual raid1..)
[05:56] <Dr_willis> DOT3CH,  'TOR' is an anomizer proxy
[05:57] <ckyle> entropy89 - Anjuta has the line system with it's plug-in editor - just have to turn that feature on
[05:57] <vipaca> Is there a way to zoom in on desktop
[05:57] <tester5> neil_d, do the users know linux very well?
[05:57] <Barqs> Hm... Is there anyway to change the default file browser? I've checked preferred applications to no avail.
[05:57] <Dabbu> how to restart my sound
[05:57] <Dr_willis> vipaca,  compiz has such a feature. If you use compiz. :)
[05:57] <neil_d> tester5: no, and they don't have sudo access
[05:57] <daedric> cheesemold, to create a array in linux... a software controled array... you must have 2 or more partitions of a SPECIAL type... type fd in fdisk.
[05:57] <cheesemold> daedric: i even have my data saved to a THIRD drive just in case.. but resorting to that would be slow over USB
[05:57] <H4shsha> why cant i sudo ./anything?
[05:57] <vipaca> can you do this with metacity?
[05:57] <daedric> cheesemold, you can't just use softraid directly with ext3 or xfs or ntfs...
[05:58] <zSoilworker> H4shsha: Be more explicit.
[05:58] <Dabbu> why sound stops working when i play something in mozilla
[05:58] <tester5> neil_d, if they don't know what they're doing, maybe you should just hide then screensaver settings out of the menu
[05:58] <cheesemold> daedric: oh no..
[05:58] <prince_jammys> H4shsha: perhaps you forgot to make the file executable?
[05:58] <H4shsha> user@user-desktop:~$ sudo "./perlscript"
[05:58] <H4shsha> sudo: ./perlscript: command not found
[05:58] <ckyle> For Anjuta, go to menu - Edit / Preferences - select "GtkViewEditor" on left side... has a "enable line numbers" checkbox
[05:58] <daedric> cheesemold, oh no ? :D
[05:58] <onthefence9282> does ubuntu come with teh ability to properly handle M4a media properly?
[05:58] <jimmio> sudo perl ./perlscript maybe?
[05:58] <zSoilworker> Sometimes it works(?)
[05:58] <cheesemold> daedric: both drives that are set up with my manual redundency are of ext3..
[05:58] <Dabbu> fuck u all
[05:58] <neil_d> tester5: oh! the obvious, I didn't think of that.
[05:59] <Dr_willis> H4shsha,  if its not in the current directory - it  wont be found witn ./
[05:59] <djhash> Dabbu: thats very mature of you.. :-)
[05:59] <blak> THANX GUYS
[05:59] <jimmio> !language | Dabbu
[05:59] <H4shsha> it is in the current dir...
[05:59] <Dabbu> djhash:thanks
[05:59] <daedric> cheesemold, then... you must delete the linuxtype partition... create a partition of the format fd in both drives... create the array with mdadm, and copy all the data thru usb from that 3rd drive of your.
[05:59] <daedric> yours*
[05:59] <zSoilworker> H4shsha: Are you using "?
[05:59] <daedric> no other way.
[05:59] <djhash> !patience | Dabbu
[05:59] <H4shsha> I tried usin g"
[06:00] <H4shsha> and '
[06:00] <zSoilworker> what if you don't use anything?
[06:00] <cheesemold> daedric: there's no simpler way? even making a raid 1 out of a single drive, putting the data onto it from my other drive, and then expanding it?
[06:00] <prince_jammys> Hamled: did you make the file executable?
[06:00] <prince_jammys> H4shsha: did you make the file executable?
[06:01] <prince_jammys> Hamled: sorry, wrong nick.
[06:01] <daedric> cheesemold, to make it technical... you can only add to a array made with mdadm partitions of the type fd
[06:01] <ckyle> Dabbu - you are a child
[06:01] <H4shsha> using sudo perl perlscript?
[06:01] <samo> dabbu what sound is not working
[06:01] <Hamled> prince_jammys, np
[06:01] <prince_jammys> H4shsha: chmod u+x perlscript
[06:01] <entropy89> alright guys, one last thing (not c++ related). I've got a usb headset and speakers (3.5mm plugged). How can i switch between them? in windows it's as simple as opening the sound manager and disabling one to enable the other...
[06:01] <daedric> cheesemold, alas... you COULD do that.
[06:01] <tester5> neil_d, i've never tried this, but if you remove the package "alacarte" after, then they might not be able to right click on the menu and add things back
[06:01] <entropy89> asoundconf -list
[06:01] <cheesemold> daedric: I feel like that would be faster, considering the slowness of usb
[06:01] <entropy89> err wrong window
[06:01] <daedric> create a RAID1 with 1 drive (if mdadm allows it... think so), and then add the second drive.
[06:02] <cheesemold> daedric: and safer
[06:02] <daedric> perhaps :D
[06:02] <daedric> you have 1 drive that's expendable... correct?
[06:02] <daedric> create the array with that drive. :D
[06:02] <zSoilworker> H4shsha: terminal> which sudo
[06:02] <prince_jammys> heh
[06:02] <H4shsha> woops, i thought that was just for permissions
[06:02] <Dabbu> samo:no sound is playing except real player
[06:02] <H4shsha> seems to work now
[06:03] <Dabbu> samo:is there any way i can restart sound service
[06:03] <cheesemold> daedric: this is kind of like using stepping stones while crossing a river, when you need to keep moving the stones yourself, isn't it?
[06:03] <prince_jammys> H4shsha: it is for permissions :) you didn't have permission to run it.
[06:03] <jimmio> Dabbu: You can normally only have one program using the audio device at the same time. close realplayer.
[06:03] <ckyle> mv Dabbu /dev/null
[06:03] <bazhang> ckyle, that is not helpful
[06:03] <ckyle> ok
[06:03] <samo> yea but easyer just to restart x (ctrl-alt-backspace)
[06:04] <Dabbu> ckyle:what does this command do
[06:04] <Khisanth> daedric: it does :)
[06:04] <ckyle> just what it says...
[06:04] <jimmio> Dabbu, it's nothing helpful, ignore it.
[06:05] <Dabbu> jimmio:what i am telling is that whenever i wath or listem something in mozilla...after that every other player and all sound in my system stops playing
[06:05] <samo> dabbu under sound in preferences try changing between ALSA and pulse audio
[06:06] <tester5> mv ckyle /dev/disk/caviar/
[06:06] <utnubu_user> I have a tablet pc and i would like to kn9w how can i enable the stylus
[06:06] <entropy89> thanks again for the help ckyle, have a good one all.
[06:06] <bazhang> !ot | tester5
[06:06] <H4shsha> does anyone here know of any open source acid-style programs?
[06:06] <tester5> !love | bazhang
[06:06] <kindofabuzz> doh!
[06:08] <BiNaRyCoDe> When I boot up with recovery mode the loading hardware drivers fail...Im using a voodoo videocard... could anyone help me out????
[06:08] <H4shsha> I know there is a linux someone made for audio recording and editing...
[06:08] <Ziroday-eee> H4shsha: Ubuntu Studio?
[06:08] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu-studio i think
[06:08] <samo> <BiNaRyCoDe when booting normally is there any problem?
[06:08] <H4shsha> any acid-style program in there?
[06:08] <jimmio> I just tryed switching to pulseaudio? I still cannot run youtube and rhythmbox.... le sigh.
[06:09] <Ziroday-eee> H4shsha: yes
[06:09] <utnubu_user> anyone knows how to enable the stylus on a tablet pc? mine is a toshiba r15 s-829
[06:09] <cheesemold> daedic: can i have ext3 as the final file system of the RAID1 after it is set up?
 youtube requires the libflash package to play sound
[06:09] <cheesemold> daedic: trying to follow this example: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid?highlight=(raid)
[06:10] <a_run> hi, i installed kubuntu-desktop package using aptitude just to try out kde
[06:10] <jimmio> samo: That's not what I meant. It plays audio perfectly. Just not Rhythmbox audio and Flash.
[06:11] <H4shsha> is it called ardour?
[06:11] <Ziroday-eee> H4shsha: yes
[06:11] <a_run> now i when i try to remove it using aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
[06:11] <a_run> it doesn;t work
[06:11] <a_run> any ideas ?
[06:11] <bazhang> a_run, remove kde?
[06:11] <debCarlos> !puregnome | a_run
[06:11] <Os555> Hi all
[06:11] <a_run> i thought removing kubuntu-desktop will automatically remove all kde stuff
[06:12] <H4shsha> do you have to make your own loops for it, or is there free ones?
[06:12] <Os555> some one here ?
[06:12] <Ziroday-eee> H4shsha: there are free ones iirc
[06:12] <a_run> ubot5: will try that, thanx
[06:12] <Threethan> So, how long do you think it'd take a completely new person to Ubuntu to convert completely from Windows to Ubuntu?
[06:12] <srbaker> heya folks
[06:12] <Os555> I have problame with installing VHCS2 On Ubuntu Server 8.04
[06:12] <srbaker> i just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro, but when i try to boot it i get a blank screen, and the cursor flashes
[06:12] <srbaker> thoughts?
[06:12] <Threethan> And, do they have Internet Explorer for Ubuntu?
[06:12] <prince_jammys> Threethan: deoends highly on the person.
[06:12] <srbaker> just a cursor in the top left
 the video player on youtube is in flash so that must work, not sure about rythmbox tho
[06:13] <a_run> oops
[06:13] <a_run> :p
[06:13] <H4shsha> thanks guys. Peace
[06:13] <pajamian> Threethan: depends on what you want to do with it ... and no IE is not available for Linux.
[06:13] <Dr_willis> Threethan,  I perfer other browsers.. but there are some wine tools to install IE under wine
[06:13] <jimmio> samo: I realize this... all audio applications work great.... but not flash AND another one.
[06:13] <jimmio> samo: Flash isn't playing nicely =(
[06:13] <Threethan> Oh, the only reason I ask is because the company I work for is only set up to run through IE.
[06:13] <Threethan> I prefer Firefox or Opera, myself.
[06:14] <Dr_willis> jimmio,  running IE in wine and expecting flash to work.. is a VERY long shot.
[06:14] <pajamian> Threethan: IE versions up to 6.0 can be installed through wine and work ok for the most part.
[06:14] <Threethan> Crap. Guess I have to keep Windows for a little while longer then.
[06:14] <Dr_willis> Flash is getting to be the #1 problem these days.
[06:14] <debCarlos> Threethan: you can install explorer with ie4linux, it's the easier way :)
[06:14] <jimmio> Dr_willis.... I'm running firefox.... oi vej people XD
[06:14] <danbhfive> !ies4linux | Threethan
[06:15] <Threethan> Wow, that's hot.
[06:15] <br10ta10> Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Portege 3500 (no built in cd-rom, bios doesn't appear to allow booting off USB first (or at all))? I have a external cd-rom through the pc-card.
[06:16] <Dr_willis> jimmio,  ive noticed that cbs.com flash stopped working for me even under windows - with firefox.
 try installing a different flash player, thats all i can think of here
[06:16] <pajamian> br10ta10: can it boot to that external CD ROM?
[06:16] <br10ta10> doesn't look like it. i put the ubuntu cd in and tell it to boot off of the cd, but nothing lights up and windows (on the hdd) boots
[06:17] <jimmio> Flash is buggy. Oh well. Make your own? =P
 try dissconnecting the HDD and then booting from CD
[06:18] <danbhfive> br10ta10: maybe you should try tapping a key on the keyboard.  Sometimes, there is a small prompt, "press any key to boot from the cd"      BUT, I thought that was only a windows thing
 what OS is currently installed?
[06:19] <br10ta10> if you cursor at power-on time, i get to choose between five icons
[06:19] <cheesemold> daedric: HEY! I think i was able to create a raid 1 with 1 drive and it kept the original data on that drive!
[06:19] <Barqs> Hi again, I only have one last simple question then my buntu box is fully setup.. thank god. How do I make pulseaudio the default for my system rather then alsa?
[06:19] <Kirbuchi> how can i know which driver my wireless card is using?
[06:19] <cheesemold> daedric: how do I double check things to make sure the raid 1 is in proper working order?
[06:19] <br10ta10> HDD, CD, network, floppy (there is none), and what i can only imagine is USB (crappy graphics)
[06:20] <aa28> hi everyone
[06:20] <br10ta10> selecting CD or USB(?) still boots windows
[06:20] <aa28> can some one help me setup css to wach dvd plesae
 under prefs sound?
[06:20] <aa28> i got libdvdnav4
[06:20] <aa28> and libdvdread3
[06:20] <Barqs> I remember reading somewhere about editing a conf file and switching = alsa to = pulse, but I TOTALLY forgot which conf file that was.. silly me.
[06:20] <aa28> but when i run command i got error message
 Windows XP
[06:21] <danbhfive> !medibuntu > aa28
 well if you can use the OS, install using wubi
[06:21] <djhash> samo: br10ta10: you dont need the < and > around the nicknames.. just type the name.. you also have autocomplete.. press tab after first few characters..
[06:21] <BiNaRyCoDe> Why would I get a error for inserting battery??
 ok, i'll look into that. thanks.
[06:21] <Barqs> samo: Well, that would definitely have been easier then editing a conf file. Sometimes I forget to look. Thanks
[06:22] <Threethan> What are some good RPG or Midieval (non first person shooter) games?
[06:22] <mib> hi
[06:22] <jimmio> Speaking of Wubi, for anyone wondering, it works BEAUTIFULLY.... unless the windows boot.ini was removed and modified by a system admin in a school.... then it doesn't.
[06:22] <Threethan> (medieval?)
[06:22] <samo> djhash: lol thanks mate new to this irc thing
[06:23] <mib> how can i do an update on my packages in UBuntu
[06:23] <aa28> is there any way i can get it to work ? or no
[06:23] <mib> i have this package called GNU-R
[06:23] <Kirbuchi> hi, how can i know which driver my wireless card is using?
[06:23] <mib> and i have the default version which is quite old
[06:23] <mib> how can i do an update
[06:23] <Dr_willis> There we go.. one worked. :)
[06:24] <br10ta10> djhash thanks for the tip
[06:24] <bazhang> mib, what version of ubuntu
[06:24] <samo> Threethan: just search on google with ubuntu at the end, i tryed a few but cant remember the names
[06:24] <mib> drapper
[06:24] <mib> 6.06
[06:24] <mib> *dapper
[06:24] <br10ta10> djhash it's been 18 years since i've touched irc
[06:24] <bazhang> mib, you can directly upgrade to Hardy Heron if you wish
[06:25] <djhash> br10ta10: samo: no probs.  :-)
[06:25] <mib> but if i dont, how could i do an update on my package?
[06:25] <nottaken> hello, just got ubuntu (after i got fed up with debian then gentoo then archlinux :) )
[06:25] <aa28> so guys i can't wach dvd at all useing ubuntu or i have to install kde desktop to run it?
[06:25] <jimmio> imo, updating from old versions never works correctly....
[06:25] <bazhang> mib, you do want to upgrade?
[06:25] <mib> i dont want to upgrade tohardy
[06:25] <mib> but i want to upgrade the R version
[06:25] <bazhang> mib, would this be via net or dl'in g the cd and doing a fresh install
[06:25] <Jordan_U> !dvd | aa28
[06:26] <mib> apt-get?
[06:26] <samo> nottaken: welcome!
[06:26] <bazhang> mib, that is one way yes
[06:26] <bazhang> mib, but to upgrade to gutsy is not a one-step deal
[06:27] <mib> nope..bazhang, i just need to update my current version of R
[06:27] <samo> mib:  why not upgrade?
[06:27] <srbaker> folks, really need some help with ubuntu on this MBp
[06:27] <nottaken> when you insert a cd it automatically mounts it. does anybody know where it does this? so i could get it to perform custom actions when a cd is inserted
[06:27] <srbaker> MBP
[06:27] <mib> not much space left
[06:27] <bazhang> mib, which version do you have, and which version do you need
[06:28] <mib> R 2.2
[06:28] <nottaken> for example if it is a dvd run vlc or some such on it
[06:28] <mib> and i need 2.6 or 2.7
[06:28] <nottaken> so if someone puts a dvd in it automatically start playing
[06:28] <aa28> ok i fixed it
[06:28] <aa28> thanks guys
[06:28] <aa28> a lot
[06:29] <bazhang> !info r
[06:29] <mib> nope..i m using dapper now
[06:29] <djhash> nottaken: System->Preferences->Removable Media and Drives
[06:30] <csa3d> why can I see all directories on my iPod (usb harddrive) in Nautilis but can't see them from a terminal ls command?
[06:30] <nottaken> djhash: thanks, i saw that but cd's aren't listed there for me
[06:30] <Dillo_of_Faeo> I wrote a permutation script in C, but it's failing to calculate the last value in an array.  What would cause it to skip this last value altogether?
[06:31] <nottaken> just PDA's cameras printers and keyboards etc
[06:31] <djhash> nottaken: try Preferred Applications (same menu)
[06:31] <Jordan_U> csa3d: try ls -a ( you probably have show hidden files enabled in nautilus )
[06:31] <Khisanth> Dillo_of_Faeo: ##c? :)
[06:31] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu 8.04.1 on one laptop computer (T42) have a loadable module 'nvram' but on another laptop computer (no ThinkPad) it doesn't?
[06:32] <bazhang> mib, I dont see the package R
[06:32] <nottaken> djhash: i can set the prefered applications there, but not autorun them
[06:32] <mib> im using R now in dapper
[06:32] <csa3d> Jordon_U:  Nah, they are directories and such.  Created from a windows machine if that matters.
[06:32] <Dillo_of_Faeo> khisanth: I'm using the stdio.h library.  I admit, this is a hefty "first project."
[06:32] <mib> r-base
[06:32] <nottaken> i mean, using a dvd being inserted as a trigger for an event
[06:32] <bazhang> !info r-base
[06:33] <bazhang> mib, the version in hardy seems to be what you want
[06:33] <mib> so there's no version i could get in my dapper?
[06:33] <mib> bwcause im in a quick fix on some stuffs..and lack of space
[06:33] <bazhang> mib, not safely no
[06:34] <mib> :(
[06:34] <danbhfive> djhash: nottaken: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=767228
[06:34] <Khisanth> Dillo_of_Faeo: not really but I would assume ##c would a better place to ask for C help than #ubuntu
[06:35] <Dillo_of_Faeo> lol, my bad.  thanks.
[06:35] <Jordan_U> mib: Try "sudo apt-get clean" to clear out old package files before, then again after the upgrade, do you think you will have space then?
[06:35] <trojatra> Has anyone used Work Bench?
[06:36] <mib> oh.
[06:36] <csa3d> any other ideas why i can view a usb drive in natilis but not from the command terminal
[06:36] <pajamian> mib: the only way which might work (depending if your libraries are new enough for the new version of R) is to compile and install R from source.
[06:36] <djhash> danbhfive: thank you... though.. this is definately non intuitive..
[06:37] <Jordan_U> csa3d: Do you see any of the files on the ipod?
[06:37] <BiNaRyCoDe> Hello ppl, I am trying and have been trying to successfully get ubuntu working but I cant seem to figure out why its not booting up right....I think it might be the videocard....Could someone plz help me????
[06:37] <bazhang> BiNaRyCoDe, how far does the boot get before it hangs
[06:37] <Jordan_U> BiNaRyCoDe: What specifically is going wrong?
[06:37] <lisa_> hi
[06:37] <csa3d> i can only see the default ipod files, not any of the external data I placed on it using the harddrive function
[06:37] <danbhfive> djhash: yes, agreed completely
[06:38] <csa3d> (from the terminal anyways... all info is visible in natilis)
[06:38] <BiNaRyCoDe> Jordan: It will go as far as loading hardware drivers
[06:38] <Jordan_U> csa3d: And both are running as the same user?
[06:38] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: is it a problem booting the live CD or is ubuntu already installed on your HDD and won't boot up?
[06:39] <nottaken> danbhfive: thankyou, but all i can do is select from a small list of options to perform. i can't set a custom action
[06:39] <BiNaRyCoDe> I can boot via cd but I already installed it and it wont boot
[06:39] <csa3d> Jordan_U:  not sure, is there a command i can test that against?  I mean, just me and a root account present
[06:40] <pajamian> !hardware | BiNaRyCoDe
[06:41] <Jordan_U> csa3d: You can try "sudo ls" I guess, can you pastebin the output of "mount" ( no options ) ?
[06:41] <DOT3CH> anyone know where i drag screenlets to to get them working
[06:42] <danbhfive> nottaken: meh, you are right, how lame
[06:42] <onthefence9282> $(^$&(&% why won't this plug-in work?
[06:42] <pajamian> onthefence9282: probably an invalid character in the plugin name ;-P
[06:42] <richiefrich> 0o
[06:42] <jimmio> DOT3CH: You can enable them in the compiz config manager.... assigned to F12 or something along those lines.
[06:42] <DOT3CH> ok
[06:43] <onthefence9282> pajamian: :-P
[06:43] <pajamian> onthefence9282: couldn't resist ;-)
[06:43] <onthefence9282> i'm trying to use teh facebook-chat plug-in for pidgin
[06:43] <onthefence9282> and the .de installs
[06:43] <onthefence9282> but pidgin won't recognize it
[06:43] <pajamian> onthefence9282: ahhhh, ok, sorry, I don't use that particular plugin.
[06:43] <onthefence9282> .deb*
[06:44] <onthefence9282> what's wierd is that the old version of pidgin saw it, but crashed randomly after using it
[06:44] <onthefence9282> and now 2.5 doens't see it at all
[06:44] <pajamian> onthefence9282: where did you get 2.5 from?
[06:44] <onthefence9282> (i guess that's one to solve a software crash)
[06:44] <pajamian> !info pidgin
[06:45] <DOT3CH> jimmio: would that be under the advanced desktop settings area
[06:45] <onthefence9282> pajamian: from getdeb, ubuntu's repositories don't have it yet
[06:45] <pajamian> onthefence9282: and is the plugin compiled against pidgin 2.4 or 2.5?
[06:46] <jimmio> DOT3CH: Under System>Preferences.... Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[06:46] <BiNaRyCoDe> pajamian: I found the supported ati videocard page and my videocard -- ati radeon 7200 is not listed. Does this mean my videocard is not compatible with ubuntu??
[06:46] <DOT3CH> jimmio: im their and not seeing it
[06:46] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: not necessarily, it just means that no one has tested it to see if it works out of the box with ubuntu.
[06:46] <Jordan_U> DOT3CH: Do you have ccsm installed ?
[06:47] <csa3d> Jordan_U: pastebin posted
[06:47] <BiNaRyCoDe> So it seems to not work for me
[06:47] <BiNaRyCoDe> What can I do to make my videocard work?
[06:47] <Lobinho> hi all - i was just wondering if there was a recommended location to put applications. i.e., i downloaded songbird and its in my home directory, but that doesn't seem right. where does it belong?
[06:47] <DOT3CH> Jordan_U: not sure
[06:47] <onthefence9282> pajamian: i'm assuming both, since i got teh idea to look for 2.5 after looking for help with the plug-in's crashes in 2.4 (everyone said it was fixed in 2.5
[06:48] <jimmio> DOT3CH: Open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:48] <pajamian> can anyone else help BiNaRyCoDe?  It's out of my realm of knowledge.
[06:48] <DOT3CH> jimmio: yea i have that
[06:48] <Jordan_U> !ccsm | DOT3CH
[06:48] <Jordan_U> csa3d: You need to give us the URL
[06:48] <jimmio> DOT3CH: you don't have it if it's not in the list...
[06:49] <JL1213> Can anyone tell me the installation path of Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy Heron?
[06:49]  * csa3d is a pastebin newb
[06:49] <pajamian> onthefence9282: I don't know.  I personally would have rather compiled the new version of pidgin and the plugin from source, then you know it won't have version problems.
[06:49] <csa3d> Jordan_U:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/41462/
[06:49] <onthefence9282> BiNaRyCoDe: try to look up driver wrappers for your graphics cards, luckily my laptop works out of teh box so i don't know how myself
[06:49] <BiNaRyCoDe> Onthefence: What is a driver wrapper?
[06:50] <JL1213> btw... I finally got the blasted thing online today. Not sure what worked, but it did. :D
[06:50] <danbhfive> JL1213: which firefox
[06:50] <DOT3CH> im looking at the CompizConfig settings manager right now
[06:50] <DOT3CH> and not seeing any types of screenlet things
[06:50] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: what error do you get when booting up, if any?
[06:50] <JL1213> danbhfive: FF3.0.1
[06:50] <Jordan_U> JL1213: http://pastebin.com/f6f9c747c
[06:51] <BiNaRyCoDe> Well, when it comes to loading the hardware drivers...it takes forever then fails
[06:51] <Jordan_U> JL1213: That is, if it hasn't changed ( I am using intrepid )
[06:51] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: fails with what message?  any?
[06:51] <JL1213> Thanks. Trying to install Flash and Java and it asked and I didn't know
[06:52] <danbhfive> JL1213: I wasn't asking you a question : P    I was giving you a command... you left
[06:52] <Jordan_U> JL1213: Ahh, there is an easier way to install flash and Java
[06:52] <BiNaRyCoDe> fails on inserting battery but does not give a videocard error, however, im sure its the videocard
[06:52] <djhash> !intrepid
[06:52] <bombshelter13> Is there a way to get Rhythmbox to download podcast episodes automatically, instad of needing to click on them?
[06:52] <BiNaRyCoDe> I just want to give up....2 days of trying to figure this problem.....
[06:52] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: how are you sure?
[06:53] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: yeah, I understand.
[06:53] <morpheus> is there a way to get wireless working in ubuntu on a HP Pavallion dv6000
[06:53] <BiNaRyCoDe> Well when I normally load the screen flickers then after a long time reboots
[06:54] <BiNaRyCoDe> I cant really concentrate on any one problem or problems that I'm gettting, in other words I cant see any errors except inserting battery error
[06:54] <pinguin_> hello world.....
[06:54] <csa3d> Jordon_U:  any ideas on that mount thing?
[06:54] <ianm_> anyone know how to use a wacom tablet without rebooting?
[06:55] <pajamian> BiNaRyCoDe: I would start with the error you're getting, then and remove the drivers for the battery (anyone can help with this?)
[06:55] <pajamian> !hi | pinguin_
[06:55] <BiNaRyCoDe> Anyhow...its funny cuz I can boot live cd of ubuntu just fine but when it comes to running the installation off hardrive it doesnt want to seem to work
[06:55] <onthefence9282> pajamian: so how should i go about getting it compiled from source?
[06:56] <BiNaRyCoDe> I wish I could screenshot the screen for ya pajamian
[06:56] <morpheus> i read about the card itself is bad
[06:56] <pajamian> onthefence9282: first you install the build dependancies with: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
[06:56] <Jordan_U> BiNaRyCoDe: Have you tried installing more than once?
[06:56] <BiNaRyCoDe> no
[06:57] <pajamian> onthefence9282: then you download the tarball from pidgin website, unpack it and follow the directions.
[06:57] <jimmio> DOT3CH: It's Widget Layer...
[06:57] <jimmio> under the Desktop section.
[06:57] <onthefence9282> pajamian: not pidgin, the plug-in
[06:57] <BiNaRyCoDe> it has to do with drivers -- livecd only uses generic drivers thats why I am able to use it but the installation trys to use drivers that are not supported by my hardware....
[06:57] <pajamian> onthefence9282: I would do both, but similar instructions for the plugin
[06:58] <Jordan_U> BiNaRyCoDe: Maybe it was just a failed install for some reason, it might install fine with the alternate install CD or maybe do an integrity check on the CD you have ( it's an option at boot or you can check the md5sum )
[06:59] <nottaken> mwahaha damn i'm evil! couldn't find a way so i just renamed the totem executable (i use vlc anyway) and replaced it with an executable of my own. works like a charm
[07:00] <csa3d> Jordon_U:  If I open the ipod root folder in Natilus, then right click and goto properties, click on my permissions tab... it says Group:root, Folder access:None, File access: ---
[07:00] <pajamian> nottaken: will work until there's a package update for totem which will replace the executable on you again.
[07:00] <nottaken> hmm good point
[07:00] <wizzer> in gedit, is there anyway i can make it go through and put a line between each word
[07:01] <pajamian> wizzer: you_mean_like_this?
[07:01] <wizzer> no, i have a list
[07:01] <wizzer> and i want a line in between each word
[07:02] <Jordan_U> wizzer: Find and replace, or just use another tool made for that type of job such as sed
[07:02] <Omoikane_> I try and start deluge and get the following error
[07:02] <Omoikane_> Applying preferences
[07:02] <Omoikane_> Starting DHT...
[07:02] <Omoikane_> No DHT file to resume
[07:02] <Omoikane_> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'asio::system_error'
[07:02] <Omoikane_>   what():  Permission denied
[07:02] <FloodBot3> Omoikane_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:03] <wizzer> is there even a program that does it
[07:03] <wizzer> automatically
[07:03] <pajamian> wizzer: give an example of what you want.
[07:04] <wizzer> i have a list
[07:04] <wizzer> and when i load it
[07:04] <wizzer> it just sees it as all one part
[07:04] <bazhang> wizzer, dont use the enter key as punctuation
[07:04] <wizzer> when i put spaces in between, it sees them as seperate
[07:04] <nottaken> pajamian: totem package now excluded from ubuntu updates
[07:05] <pajamian> nottaken: hehehe, that will work, I prefer to not muck around doing things that way, but logn as it works for you
[07:06] <geodome> hi all
[07:06] <jlong> hi geo
[07:06] <Omoikane> every time I start deluge I get No DHT file to resume
[07:06] <Omoikane> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'asio::system_error'
[07:06] <Omoikane>  any ideas?
[07:06] <dorange> hi
[07:06] <root> how can i create user without password?
[07:06] <prince_jammys> wizzer: you mean you already had a file that looked how you want it, but gedit doesn't it show it that way?
[07:07] <geodome> anyone knows how to tweak the sound server? alsa/jack/arts ?
[07:07] <wizzer> well when i load it in the program, it doesn't show it
[07:07] <prince_jammys> wizzer: is this a list you made with a Windows text editor?
[07:07] <wizzer> yeah probably
[07:08] <bazhang> Omoikane, do you have ports forwarded?
[07:08] <prince_jammys> wizzer: you probably have carriage returns characters in there. they have to be removed
[07:08] <wizzer> oh
[07:08] <murlidhar> gtk themes don't work in root . how to solve this ?
[07:09] <prince_jammys> wizzer: try the following in a terminal(this will not alter your file):  tr -d '\r' < path/to/your/file
[07:09] <wizzer> ok
[07:09] <dorange> i wanna make my ubuntu desktop portable by installing linux on yo a usb thumbdrive
[07:09] <Omoikane> bazhang nah. I was on another network so the ports are different.
[07:09] <csa3d> ok, silly question
[07:09] <dorange> but i have a problom
[07:09] <csa3d> so i have many usb ports on my machine
[07:09] <bazhang> Omoikane, then that would likely be the issue
[07:10] <dorange> lots of them
[07:10] <Omoikane> bazhang it won't even start.
[07:10] <Omoikane> bazhang the error I gave you was a terminal output.
[07:10] <csa3d> if I plug in my ipod to 2 or more, and ubuntu automounts it... can it be making mulitple /media/ipod dirs?
[07:10] <bazhang> Omoikane, deluge or dht
[07:10] <ianm_> has anyone been able to hotplug a wacom tablet?
[07:10] <Omoikane> bazhang deluge
[07:10] <Omoikane> ianm hot plug?
[07:10] <bazhang> Omoikane, what about when you launch from terminal
[07:11] <dorange> how do i install ubuntu on a usb thumb drive with persistent loop so in i'll be able to also save languege settings and driver packs?
[07:11] <Omoikane> ianm U have gotten them to work.
[07:11] <bazhang> !usb | dorange
[07:11] <Dr_willis> ianm_,  last i looked into wacoms.. there was a issue with hotplugging them in.
[07:11] <bazhang> dorange, check last link
[07:11] <Omoikane> bazhang it crashes and gives me No DHT file to resume
[07:11] <Omoikane> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'asio::system_error'
[07:11] <Omoikane>
[07:11] <disting> hello
[07:11] <disting> im having a problem
[07:11] <csa3d> guess a better question is, How can I ensure my USB drive always auto-mounts to the same /media/<whatever> device?
[07:11] <bazhang> Omoikane, then delete the torrent and try again
[07:11] <ianm_> Dr_willis: yup!
[07:11] <jlong> disting what's up?
[07:11] <Omoikane> ianm what do you need help with?
[07:11] <dorange> i sow that link and it didnt help me at all
[07:12] <a_run> hi again
[07:12] <a_run> i removed all the kde apps
[07:12] <a_run> but kio-umountwrapper wasn't removed
[07:12] <Omoikane> bazhang i can't even load it.
[07:12] <a_run> now i can;t instaleld anything
[07:12] <disting> jlong im trying to use dial up interned in linux is it possible to use dial up in linux
[07:12] <a_run> *can't install
[07:12] <danbhfive> a_run: pastebin the error message
[07:12] <bazhang> a_run, what error message do you get
[07:12] <a_run> danbhfive: k
[07:13] <disting> :S
[07:13] <disting> hello any one hearing me
[07:13] <ianm_> Omoikane: I'm tired of rebooting to get my wacom to work!
[07:13] <disting> ?
[07:13] <bazhang> disting, yes
[07:13] <Dr_willis> disting,  yes. :)
[07:13] <ianm_> disting: you've got the world's ear, say something important!
[07:14] <a_run> danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/d338a319a
[07:14] <Dr_willis> ianm_,  all you need to do is restart the X server.. not reboot.. I think
[07:14] <bense> in unix, when you add a & to the end of a command in a script, it does not wait for that process to end, it moves onto the next line, how do i do this in windows?
[07:14] <a_run> bazhang: http://pastebin.com/d338a319a
[07:14] <Omoikane> ianm_I was able to get it to work without rebooting.
[07:14] <Xperiment62> anyone here using an ATI Radeon 9600 XT?
[07:14] <Jordan_U> !windows | bense
[07:14] <disting> bazhang im trying to use dial up interned in linux is it possible to use dial up in linux
[07:14] <ianm_> Dr_willis: yeah, so they say, although so far that hasn't worked for me.  what's a sure-fire way to restart x?  (login/out doesn't do it)
[07:14] <ianm_> Omoikane: by restarting X or no?
[07:14] <Dr_willis> ianm_,  alt-ctrl-backspace.. or set gdm to 'alwyas restart x server' in the gdm configs
[07:14] <csa3d> cat lol
[07:15] <ianm_> Dr_willis: is that option gone from the GDM setup gui?
[07:15] <bazhang> disting, yes it is
[07:15] <disting> bazhang but my modem does not support it
[07:15] <disting> :S
[07:15] <bazhang> a_run, try apt-get autoremove as the error prescribed
[07:15] <disting> bazhang i use a chinise modem
[07:15] <Dr_willis> ianm_,  i dont recall it ever being in the GUI setup
[07:15] <ihcus> hello guys can anyone help me ...... i have to access my windows partition in linux  and i have improperly shutdown in windows !!!!!
[07:15] <csa3d> what controls usb automount points?
[07:15] <ihcus> can any1 help pls
[07:16] <ihcus> can anyone help me in forcing to mount a drive
[07:16] <Dr_willis> ihcus,  if you have entries in the fstab file. you can mount them from the command line.
[07:16] <Xperiment62> ihcus, mount -t ntfs /dev/hd* mountpoint -0 force
[07:16] <prince_jammys> ihcus: did you try to log into windows and shut it down properly?
[07:16] <bazhang> disting, if your modem does not work then you either need to get one that does, or find a way to make that one work; have you checked the model and make with linux in a search engine? ubuntuforums.org may have something as well.
[07:16] <Dr_willis> or use the full mount command line/options like Xperiment62  said. :)
[07:16] <a_run> bazhang: http://pastebin.com/d6358e57
[07:16] <prince_jammys> or shut it down properly
[07:17] <danbhfive> a_run: maybe you could try reinstalling kio-umount
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Xperiment62: ihcus Please don't suggest forcing a mount on an unclean FS unless necisary
[07:17] <a_run> danbhfive: i tried that
[07:17] <ihcus> i cant try to logi in to windows i busted windows
[07:17] <Xperiment62> sorry bout that
[07:17] <a_run> but it errors on removing it again
[07:17] <Dr_willis> well forceing ntfs - in read only.. should be 'decently safe' shouldent it?
[07:17] <disting> bazhang do u know any soft. that will help to run all window programs in linux?
[07:17] <Jordan_U> ihcus: You can try mounting it read only, or try "ntfsfix", but try mounting read only first
[07:17] <ihcus> Xperiment62: where do i do that> and how do i do that ?
[07:17] <Omoikane> ianm_ yeah restarting x.
[07:17] <ianm_> Dr_willis: hm, ok.  well I found the option in the config, going to killall -HUP gdm
[07:18] <bazhang> disting, not all but wine does pretty well; additionally there are linux equivalents to most windows apps.
[07:18] <hischild> Jordan_U, forcing ntfs volumes hasn't caused errors for me. May i ask why this might be a problem if i know why the file system is giving this error? (like unsafe removal of external HD)
[07:18] <Dr_willis> ianm_,  alt-ctrl-backspace will force X to restart also. :) do it from the gdm login.. or check the gdm menus.. it may have a ;restart x server' option
[07:18] <disting> bazhang hmm
[07:18] <Xperiment62> ihcus: in terminal with super user priveliges
[07:18] <danbhfive> a_run: sudo dpkg --configure -a     ??
[07:19] <wizzer> prince_jammys, it hasn't done anything for awhile
[07:19] <prince_jammys> wizzer: what did you type?
[07:19] <disting> bazhang i use 126 ram , 780 mb processor. is it compatiable to run ubuntu 8?
[07:19] <jimmio> question.... how do I get gDesklets to be over all windows?...
[07:19] <Varange> hi all. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on my PC. Now I'd like to see the eye candy, specifically the Beryl type stuff. Please help me get it going
[07:19] <a_run> danbhfive: ?
[07:19] <prince_jammys> wizzer: you probably made a typo and it's waiting for input :)
[07:19] <danbhfive> a_run: whats the output of that command?
[07:19] <bazhang> disting, no that will not do it in terms of ram; you could try fluxbuntu if you wish
[07:19] <hischild> Varange, installing the drivers for your graphics card will let you use all the graphical eye candy. Check under system -> administration -> hardware drivers.
[07:19] <wizzer>  tr -d  /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst
[07:19] <a_run> danbhfive: nothing
[07:19] <prince_jammys> wizzer: nope
[07:19] <Jordan_U> hischild: Writing to a file system that is in an inconsistent state is just a bad idea, especially if it isn't necessary
[07:20] <a_run> gives back the prompt
[07:20] <wizzer> do i need the <?
[07:20] <prince_jammys> wizzer: that's not what i typed
[07:20] <disting> :(
[07:20] <Varange> hischild, thx, brb
[07:20] <wizzer> hmm
[07:20] <hischild> Jordan_U, there's a difference between an unchecked and inconsistent state. NTFS is usually saying it's in an unchecked state instead of inconsistent.
[07:20] <prince_jammys> wizzer: press control c to stop it.
[07:20] <danbhfive> a_run: dpkg --force-remove kio-umountwrapper
[07:20] <wizzer> when i put that < in there, it says the file doesn't exist
[07:20] <Varange> hischild, it says "no proprietary drivers on this system"
[07:20] <wizzer> yeah i did that
[07:20] <disting> bazhang whats is minimum memory needed to run ubuntu 8
[07:20] <hischild> Varange, what graphics card do you have?
[07:21] <Varange> hischild, no idea
[07:21] <hischild> disting, i've done it on a 64mb ram with 8mb vid card
[07:21] <prince_jammys> wizzer: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst
[07:21] <Varange> hischild, it does the OpenGL stuff though
[07:21] <prince_jammys> wizzer: and let me know if it looks different.
[07:21] <bazhang> disting, how slow are you willing to accept?
[07:21] <Xperiment62> anyone know an easy way to get an ATI graphics card running in Dual head mode
[07:21] <a_run> danbhfive: dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `remove'
[07:21] <disting> hischild ubunti 8!!!!!!!!
[07:21] <Jordan_U> hischild: If that's true then ntfsfix will be able to fix it, if he was writing to a file when he lost power then that might not be true, and either way he might have just needed read access, so why risk it?
[07:21] <hischild> Varange, run this command to find your graphics card --> lspci | grep VGA
[07:21] <disting> bazhang lol bro i want to make is faster and faster
[07:21] <disting> :)
[07:21] <hischild> Jordan_U, good point.
[07:21] <bazhang> disting, then get more ram
[07:21] <hischild> disting, yes, ubuntu 8.04
[07:22] <disting> hischild how come
[07:22] <wizzer> bash: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst: No such file or directory
[07:22] <Varange> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[07:22] <Varange> hischild,
[07:22] <hischild> disting, i'm going to give a presentation and workshop at my school and i've gotten a few old computers to work with from them. One of them is this pc i've installed it in.
[07:22] <ihcus> guys it says volume is corrupt
[07:23] <ianm_> Dr_willis: still seems to require a reboot.  :/
[07:23] <ihcus> can u tell me how do i repair it
[07:23] <prince_jammys> wizzer: did you put the whole thing in quotes or something?
[07:23] <zeeeee> hi, i can successfully mount a sshfs as root, but then trying to ls it as a normal user gives me "Permission denied"... any hints?
[07:23] <wizzer> no
[07:23] <csa3d> can you change the name of an automounted disk which appears on the desktop
[07:23] <bazhang> disting, do you have ubuntu installed now?
[07:23] <disting> hischild can  i get ur slides for viewing them :P
[07:23] <Dr_willis> ianm_,  perhaps. I never really  messed with it much.
[07:23] <hischild> Varange, im afraid i don't have experience with intel cards. Perhaps that someone else in the channel will be able to help you.
[07:23] <wizzer> no quotes
[07:23] <Varange> ok thx hischild
[07:23] <hischild> disting, yes you can :-) will still be another week or 2 before i'm finished.
[07:23] <danbhfive> a_run: maybe try just --remove instead of --force-remove
[07:23] <csa3d> or keep a drive mounted, but don't show it on the desktop somehwo
[07:23] <disting> bazhang no im using xp now.. i tried fedora but..... i earned a bad experience
[07:23] <disting> :(
[07:24] <Jordan_U> zeeeee: You don't need to be root to mount an sshfs
[07:24] <disting> hischild ohh thanx
[07:24] <bazhang> disting, then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic as this is the support channel thanks
[07:24] <disting> bazhang okk thanks
[07:24] <disting> tc
[07:25] <danbhfive> a_run: and I have one last option if that fails
[07:25] <cheesemold> I'm having trouble setting up a RAID1 array, any help?
[07:25] <zeeeee> Jordan_U, i know, i've successfully mounted as my normal user before... but i'd like all users on the system to be able to access this share, and i assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that if i mounted as my normal user, then other users would similarly be unable to access it (just as non-root users cannot access the root-mounted share)
[07:26] <danbhfive> a_run: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/kio-umountwrapper.postrm
[07:26] <wizzer> tr -d '\r' < /home/colin/Desktop/mEgaPWL.lst
[07:26] <wizzer> oops
[07:26] <wizzer> got it to work
[07:26] <prince_jammys> wizzer: did it print it the way you wanted?
[07:26] <nottaken> csa3d: you could try changing the mountpoint in /etc/fstab
[07:26] <wizzer> yeah
[07:26] <nottaken> that might work
[07:26] <danbhfive> a_run: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm
[07:26] <Xperiment62> is there an easier way to setup a single grapics card for dual heads without writing up a custom xorg.conf (primary @ PCI:0:5:0 , secondary @ PCI:0:5:1)
[07:26] <geodome> anyone here familiar with troubleshooting sound?
[07:26] <prince_jammys> wizzer: ok. that means you need to get rid of the carriage returns.
[07:26] <wizzer> ok, thanks
[07:27] <Gnea> !sound | geodome
[07:27] <Gnea> geodome: have you read those?
[07:27] <prince_jammys> wizzer: this:::  tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst > mycopy
[07:27] <nottaken> csa3d: you will have to create a folder by the name you want first
[07:27] <prince_jammys> wizzer: same command, with what i added on the end. will make a copy called 'mycopy'
[07:27] <wizzer> oh
[07:27] <wizzer> ok
[07:27] <prince_jammys> wizzer: that copy will not have the carriage returns
[07:27] <benzs_s> so i tried to play a video with mplayer: big mistake, it won't stop flashing an error about alsa at me and i can't close it
[07:28] <jimmio> if anyone was wondering.... putting title=gdesklets-daemon in the window rules Above box... puts them on top =D
[07:28] <csa3d> nottaken: on my desktop it shows up as "21.5 GB Media".  Can I simply NOT display it on my desktop
[07:28] <Gnea> benzs_s: switch to ctrl-alt-f1, login and:  killall -9 mplayer
[07:28] <zeeeee> oh, i needed to specify -o allow_other; found answer from http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:0GKLaIdjLTAJ:forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D36600+sshfs+root+%22permission+denied&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=8&gl=us&client=opera
[07:28] <Dr_willis> benzs_s,  weird. i use mplayer all the time
[07:28] <Gnea> benzs_s: then just alt-f7 to get back
[07:28] <Jordan_U> zeeeee: man mount, I think you want -o group
[07:28] <csa3d> nottaken:  Ulternatively,  If I could rename the shortcut to something more meaningful, that would be good too
[07:28] <Dr_willis> benzs_s,  try 'xkill' to kill the whole player?
[07:29] <wizzer> thank you prince_jammys, worked exactly how i wanted and now i know how to do it for future reference
[07:29] <Xperiment62> is there an easier way to setup a single grapics card for dual heads without writing up a custom xorg.conf (primary @ PCI:0:5:0 , secondary @ PCI:0:5:1)
[07:29] <prince_jammys> wizzer: welcome. it's because windows line endings are different from linux/unix ones
[07:30] <nottaken> csa3d: ahh, i'm newish to ubuntu. didn't realise it gave it a descriptive name
[07:30] <nottaken> csa3d: no, i can't think of any non-dodgy hacked ways of doing it
[07:31] <csa3d> nottaken:  no worries, I'm here with ya.  Only three weeks strong on this.  Trying to get rid of my "windows" ways and figure out the new way
[07:31] <thinkgnu> how can i add this repository to my repositories ?  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/amilcarlucas/xUbuntu_8.04/
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Xperiment62: If you have an nvidia card you can try their graphical configuration tool
[07:31] <hischild> Xperiment62, do you happen to have an nvidia card?
[07:32] <Xperiment62> Jordan_U: only have this ATI and theres no way im just gonna ditch a 256mb card
[07:32] <Xperiment62> hischild: see above
[07:32] <hischild> Xperiment62, just saw it
[07:32] <Dr_willis> thinkgnu,  since theres just 4 or 6 packages there.. you could just download the .debs and install them
[07:32] <Jordan_U> Xperiment62: ATI has a graphical configurator as well.... but I would be surprised if it worked
[07:33] <thinkgnu> Dr_willis: but i want to add it  !
[07:33] <Xperiment62> Jordan_U: that uses the fglrx driver which is closed source
[07:33] <Dr_willis> thinkgnu,  look at the sources.list file, copy a line, edit it and add the new url i guess..
[07:34] <Jordan_U> Xperiment62: I am guessing that System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution doesn't work?
[07:34] <jimmio> Yay, now that I've got gDesklets running the way I want.... now I just needa make a USEFUL one =P
[07:34] <a_run> danbhfive: that last rm worked, thanx
[07:34] <Xperiment62> Jordan_U: doesnt give me the option of 1280x1024 which is what i want and doesnt have dual head setups
[07:35] <bazhang> thinkgnu, you cant
[07:35] <Xperiment62> Jordan_U: also note: using Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu till next month
[07:35] <danbhfive> a_run: just so you know what it did, it didnt remove it, it just removed the record of it.  So, it was quite brute force
[07:35] <cheesemold> Can anyone help me out with RAID1?
[07:35] <bazhang> thinkgnu, suse uses rpms
[07:35] <a_run> danbhfive: yeah i got it
[07:35] <Gnea> cheesemold: what's the problem?
[07:35] <a_run> i was thinking about the same thing :)
[07:36] <bazhang> raid1 gnea
[07:36] <Dr_willis> bazhang,  that url seems to be some  suse programs/packages converted to deb. from what i saw.
[07:36] <Gnea> bazhang: i know what a mirror is
[07:36] <csa3d> when running "man", is there a shortcut for "find" or "grep"
[07:36] <bazhang> Dr_willis, uh oh
[07:36] <cheesemold> Gnea: i thought i could figure this out... but I'm having problems with fsck and booting for some reason
[07:36] <Dr_willis> bazhang,  which is scary also. :)
[07:36] <bazhang> true
[07:36] <cheesemold> Gnea: are you familiar with mdadm? the software raid tool?
[07:37] <Jordan_U> Xperiment62: There is one more graphical program which is almost guaranteed not to work, if I can remember how to access it it's installed by default, but hidden because it never really worked well
[07:37] <Gnea> cheesemold: not really... but there is some documentation that might help a bit... and i'm sure there are some RAID gurus around here somewhere
[07:37] <Gnea> !raid | cheesemold
[07:37] <utnubu_user> is there any gui to place a keyboard on screen? I have a tablet pc, and I need some software that allow me to insert text using a stylus
[07:37] <Xperiment62> Jordan_U: displayconfig-gtk
[07:37] <Gnea> cheesemold: i'm more of a fan of hardware raid setups
[07:37] <Jordan_U> Xperiment62: Yes
[07:38] <Xperiment62> Jordan_U: xD already tried
[07:38] <Gnea> utnubu_user: onboard
[07:38] <cheesemold> Gnea: well.. My problem is that I want to use a partition already on one of the drives as the partition to be mirrored
[07:38] <utnubu_user> Gnea, how caon I activate it?
[07:39] <cheesemold> Gnea: otherwise it seems pretty easy to setup RAID1 when you don't need to keep what's on any of the drives
[07:39] <Gnea> utnubu_user: Applications->Add/Remove->Universal Access
[07:39] <a_run> where can i get the w32codes package
[07:40] <bazhang> thinkgnu, best to steer clear of that repo
[07:40] <Dr_willis> !medibuntu | a_run
[07:40] <a_run> ah
[07:40] <Gnea> utnubu_user: or Applications->Add/Remove->Accessories
[07:41] <amanulla> my screen brightness goes down whenever i login in ubuntu what to do?
[07:41] <Gnea> amanulla: laptop?
[07:41] <amanulla> ya
[07:41] <Gnea> which one?
[07:41] <amanulla> hcl
[07:41] <utnubu_user> Gnea, thank you
[07:42] <Gnea> utnubu_user: cheers
[07:42] <FAJALOU> hi can anyone help me out; sometimes my computer just crashes for no known reason.  I have to restart and I do not know why; sometimes i lock the screen, sometimes i do not, and it happens sometimes.  I can provide any syslogs needed, thanks
[07:42] <Gnea> amanulla: ?!
[07:42] <amanulla> intel core 2 duo processor
[07:42] <Gnea> amanulla: er, what's the model #?
[07:42] <benzss> Gnea: for what it's worth, i missed what you said about alt+f7 (lol) and anyway terminal said 'no such process' or words to that effect
[07:42] <amanulla> express 965 chipset 2x
[07:43] <benzss> it's strange that mplayer has never, ever worked for me since i've been using ubuntu
[07:43] <jlong> bn
[07:43] <Gnea> benzss: d'oh!
[07:43] <Gnea> benzss: sorry, i should have put that on the same line
[07:43] <benzss> Gnea: no probs, i laughed at myself anyway
[07:43] <Gnea> benzss: :)
[07:43] <johnt> hey can someone help me with duel booting please?
[07:44] <FAJALOU> johnt: details ? :)
[07:44] <shadow420> johnt how can we help
[07:44] <Xperiment62> johnt: dual booting which OS's?
[07:44] <benzss> i have been having trouble with playing high def video files without choppiness. don't suppose anyone here stumbled across a solution?
[07:44] <Gnea> !dualboot | johnt
[07:44] <shadow420> benzss did you try vlc?
[07:44] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me out; sometimes my computer just crashes for no known reason.  I have to restart and I do not know why; sometimes i lock the screen, sometimes i do not, and it happens sometimes.  I can provide any syslogs needed, thanks
[07:45] <amanulla> hcl B2302 laptop
[07:45] <benzss> shadow420: yes, it's very choppy. xine gives slightly better results but if there are a lot of things going on in the video it'll just stop altogether. from what i can gather, it's a common problem
[07:45] <benzss> what's strange is that if i were to boot into windows, there'd be no choppiness at all... which leads me to believe it's not a hardware problem
[07:45] <hischild> benzss, turn off compiz and use vlc, those 2 have done miracles for me
[07:46] <Gnea> this webcam just doesn't want to work right... farking micro innovations cheapie...
[07:46] <benzss> it's always turned off :<
[07:46] <Gnea> benzss: have you tried vlc?
[07:46] <shadow420> benzss well I don't even have it install far as I know
[07:46] <benzss> Gnea, yeah it's my default player
[07:46] <johnt> WEll I installed Ubuntu then used gparted live cd to split the partitions and went on to install XP, but now ubuntu doesn't show up in the multiboot menu
[07:47] <Gnea> benzss: so what do you need mplayer for? :)
[07:47] <shadow420> johnt it's easy to install xp first then ubuntu
[07:47] <benzss> Gnea: it was worth trying to see if it'd play high def video without being choppy
[07:47] <Gnea> johnt: did you install ubuntu first, and XP second?
[07:47] <Gnea> benzss: i recommend -framedrop :)
[07:48] <aj_> can anyone tell me how to disable compiz??
[07:48] <Gnea> mplayer -framedrop file.m4v
[07:48] <johnt> shadow420 i know but i didnt think about that
[07:48] <FAJALOU> aj:  metacity --replace
[07:48] <johnt> Gnea yea
[07:48] <shadow420> johnt the NTDLR Windows bootloader is a pain
[07:48] <benzss> Gnea: i was trying something like that... well, dropping the resolution to dvd size. unfortunately mplayer threw a wobbly
[07:48] <FAJALOU> aj I would suggest installing fusion-icon, it is really easy to use and makes it easy to switch back and forth
[07:48] <Gnea> aj_: system->preferences->appearance->visual effects->normal/none
[07:48] <aj_> metacity -replace??  i didnt get it... and how to enable it again
[07:49] <FAJALOU> aj_:  use fusion-icon
[07:49] <benzss> aj_: press alt+f2, and type 'metacity --replace'
[07:49] <hischild> aj_, hit alt+f2 then run that command. It'll disable it. compiz --replace to enable again
[07:49] <shadow420> johnt but I have a solution install xp then ubuntu then get a windows program called Wingrub
[07:49] <FAJALOU> !info fusion-icon | aj_
[07:49] <amanulla> gnea:what else information i can provide you?
[07:49] <Gnea> amanulla: you've thrown me for a loop: the linux laptop site has never heard of HCL
[07:50] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me out; sometimes my computer just crashes for no known reason.  I have to restart and I do not know why; sometimes i lock the screen, sometimes i do not, and it happens sometimes.  I can provide any syslogs needed, thanks
[07:50] <amanulla> its an indian company
[07:50] <Gnea> amanulla: *however*...
[07:50] <trojatra>  Is there a built-in Ubuntu restore? (To restore everything back to a previous date)
[07:50] <shadow420> johnt Wingrub will allow you to run grub using the NTDLR bootloader and you don't have to re-install grub after ever update of the Kernel
[07:50]  * Gnea blinks
[07:50] <Gnea> an *indian* company is now making computer hardware?
[07:50] <geodome> hihi. how to replace ALSA?
[07:50]  * Gnea checks this out.
[07:50] <geodome> it seems ALSA is the problem for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636194
[07:51] <geodome> apparently alsa doenst work on my sound card
[07:51] <Dr_willis> geodome,  replace it with what?  Theres not really anything to replace it with..
[07:51] <aj_> thanx a lot
[07:51] <aj_> got it
[07:51] <FAJALOU> np
[07:51] <Dr_willis> there may be updated alsa drivers for some cards  or updated alsa versions with better support.
[07:51] <johnt> shadow420 so will i lose my current ubuntu setup?
[07:52] <geodome> what about other sound servers such as JACK and ARTS
[07:52] <Gnea> geodome: pulseaudio
[07:52] <Dr_willis> geodome,  those work with alsa. ibelive.. kernel -> alsa -> other tools
[07:52] <poop> where is firefox installed in ubuntu I wish to install flash 10 beta and I want to know the directory
[07:52] <shadow420> johnt yeah but you can use gparted to move your ubuntu install to the end if you want but it's not recommended
[07:52] <FAJALOU> poop:  doesn't flashplayer-nonfree wrok for you?
[07:53] <poop> no it dies after a while
[07:53] <FAJALOU> can anyone help me out; sometimes my computer just crashes for no known reason.  I have to restart and I do not know why; sometimes i lock the screen, sometimes i do not, and it happens sometimes.  I can provide any syslogs needed, thanks
[07:53] <Ayabara> I need the Monospace-9 font for Ubuntu. What do I install?
[07:53] <shadow420> jonht but I have 2 hard drives in my desktop
[07:53] <poop> like myspacetv and youtube kill it after like 10 or so videos and flash 10 is said to work better
[07:53] <ompaul> !bootoptions | FAJALOU check out the noapic option on this web page
[07:54] <poop> where is firefox installed in ubuntu I wish to install flash 10 beta and I want to know the directory
[07:54] <jino> what is ulimit?
[07:54] <Gnea> geodome: ouch... OSS it is then :/
[07:54] <FAJALOU> ompaul: what is noapic?
[07:54] <ompaul> FAJALOU, read that web page
[07:54] <shadow420> johnt so if I want to install another OS I just split my ubuntu disk and leave xp's home alone
[07:54] <amanulla> gnea:u can see complete information of my laptop here http://www.fastrackcomputing.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2036
[07:55] <FAJALOU> ompaul: i did, so should i just add it in grub under default stuff?
[07:55] <amanulla> gnea:watch this "HCL Leaptop B2302 Laptop Specification"
[07:55] <shadow420> johnt since windows xp is a pain to re-install and update it all to help
[07:55] <shadow420> hell**
[07:55] <ompaul> FAJALOU, that is what the page says
[07:56] <johnt> shadow420 well i just installed Xp but i had my ubuntu installed for a while now
[07:56] <compu73rg33k> so I have an encrypted partition that I would like to delete so I can re-install kubuntu - when I start cfdisk it says the space is "unusable" even though I've unlocked the partition already with cryptsetup
[07:57] <FAJALOU> johnt:  do you have a cdr that you can use?
[07:57] <johnt> yup
[07:57] <amu_> clear
[07:57] <FAJALOU> ok, to restore grub, there is a program called super grub disk
[07:58] <shadow420> johnt yeah I know the feeling theres even times I have to re-install ubuntu but thats easy compare to xp
[07:58] <onthefence928> has anybody seen any truly inspired/inspirational themes for gnome/beryl/compiz ?
[07:58] <FAJALOU> it is really good for restoring grub (or the bootloader for windows) so ou can boot back to ubuntu
[07:58] <Gnea> amanulla: looks pretty nice! this dimming issue isn't new... there are some methods of getting it to stop, but not sure what'll work for you
[07:58] <FAJALOU> !anyone | onthefence928
[07:59] <compu73rg33k> nvm, the "unusable space" was due to too many primary volumes
[07:59] <csa3d> what command prints out the /dev/sdXX of a connected usb device?
[07:59] <hischild> FAJALOU, he did ask the question ... it just happens to start with has anyone ....
[07:59] <hischild> csa3d, lsusb?
[07:59] <onthefence928> Fajalou: i only asked one question..............
[07:59] <FAJALOU> hischild: then it is a poll...
[07:59] <Gnea> amanulla: http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/fixing-the-dim-screen-in-ubuntu-804/  see if that works
[07:59] <FAJALOU> ompaul:  is is noapic or noacpi
[07:59] <amanulla> ok
[08:00] <hischild> FAJALOU, he asked a question
[08:00] <csa3d> hischild:  looking for the /dev/sdxx path of /media/usbdrive
[08:00] <FAJALOU> ok my apoligies
[08:00] <Gnea> guys, chill.
[08:00] <onthefence928> FAJALOU: not a poll, just trolling for suggestions
[08:00] <onthefence928> the GOOD kind of trolling
[08:00] <FAJALOU> for compiz i like vista stuff,,, backwards like macs but ya...
[08:00] <hischild> csa3d, the links between /dev/bla and /media/bla? mount
[08:01] <csa3d> mount was it, you win
[08:01] <Gnea> onthefence928: your best bet is to ask in #compiz-fusion or #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[08:01] <ompaul> FAJALOU, read both of them, they can both help
