[03:11] <Hammer89> wease|: okay

[03:11] <usser> silas428: administrator is the only cs job out there
[03:11] <Furythor> I did install UT2004 and now I can't start it, problem is that it shows the "splash screen" and quits, what can cause this ?
[03:11] <silas428> I love what I can do, its just not much
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> silas428: Would you mind taking the school and programming discussion to the offtopic room
[03:11] <aO|DB> how do i mount my drive??? i just unmounted and it wont let me mount it again
[03:11] <frojnd> usser, literally users ?
[03:11] <usser> frojnd: yes
[03:12] <silas428> astro76: thanks was looking for a place to ask this(knew it wasn't here)
[03:12] <eck090> Fury: I use Cedega to play games, it emulates perfectly
[03:12] <Furythor> I can't register Cedega due payment problem, and I should be able to run games which have linux native binaries O_o
[03:13] <wease|> hammer, let me know if that solves it
[03:13] <frojnd> usser, still... whn I  cklick on the icon Windows I don't have permissions to access it, this is weird
[03:13] <jack-desktop> what would "clone output" plugin in compiz be used for?
[03:13] <eck090> i agree, but i think it has something to do with directx
[03:14] <usser> frojnd: i dunno probably something simple
[03:14] <credible> jack-desktop: nothing at all, it's a proof-of-concept really
[03:14] <usser> frojnd: do sudo umount /home/joze/Windows
[03:14] <frojnd> usser, done
[03:14] <Cpudan80> Anybody -- dvi viewer to view the output of tex compilations?
[03:14] <jack-desktop> credible, wow awesome plugin...
[03:14] <Cpudan80> The thing from the repositories doesn't work btw
[03:14] <eck090> this whole not being able to minimize in game is getting to me lol
[03:14] <usser> frojnd: sudo chown -R joze:joze /home/joze/Windows
[03:14] <Hammer89> wease|: still giving me the same error... should I ctrl-alt-backspace for whatever I just did to take effect?
[03:14] <credible> jack-desktop: if you press the key binding, it'll show a tiny copy of your screen at the cursor, but there's no use for it
[03:15] <jack-desktop> yea i noticed
[03:15] <jack-desktop> but seriously, kind of pointless
[03:15] <credible> jack-desktop: so don't use it.
[03:15] <wease|> hammer89, nope
[03:15] <wease|> that wont do anything
[03:16] <Hammer89> okay
[03:16] <usser> frojnd: did it work?
[03:16] <ahorriblemess> Can someone tell me if a Cat5e Inline Coupler serves any other purpose than creating an extention for ethernet cables?
[03:16] <amdbcg> hello
[03:16] <frojnd> usser, yes
[03:16] <ahorriblemess> can i use it to link two computers together?
[03:16] <Hammer89> wease|: could it be related to the kernel update I installed from synaptic?
[03:16] <usser> frojnd: cool now try changing your fstab like that http://pastebin.ca/902067
[03:16] <aO|DB> why does the ubuntu updater keep going from  800kb+ then sit at 4kb for ever...
[03:16] <Kuja> ahorriblemess: if you have a crossover cable, you can.
[03:17] <wease|> hammer89, does it load at all or?
[03:17] <usser> frojnd: are u the only user of the system?
[03:17] <ahorriblemess> Kuja, I don't if I buy a crossover cable, than I don't need the coupler do I?
[03:17] <amdbcg> Kuja I've got a crossover cable, what are we doing?
[03:17] <Ashfire908> is something up with the changelogs? i can't get it for "linux-headers-2.6.22-14", "linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic" or "linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic"
[03:17] <ahorriblemess> wow bad grammar I'sorry
[03:17] <Hammer89> wease|: the system monitor doesn't load at all
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ahorriblemess: No you cant,, you need a crossover cable or crossover adapter
[03:17] <Furythor> How I stop compiz ?
[03:17] <sileni> why doesnt my gusty have /etc/iftab
[03:17] <amdbcg> or you can make your own crossover cable
[03:17] <ahorriblemess> Jack Sparrow, One or the other?
[03:17] <usser> haha
[03:17] <Hammer89> wease|: it feeds me that error before it gets anywhere
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[03:18] <wease|> hammer89, which error?
[03:18] <tantric132> can someone help me please? I have XP on a ntfs partition and ubuntu on a ext3, but when I start my computer and have to choose which OS to load, it only shows ubuntu...XP has disapeaered from the list. how do I get it back?
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ahorriblemess: or make your own, but the quality crimper costs more than a cable
[03:18] <ahorriblemess> Jack Sparrow: ok good, I'll get whatever's cheaper. I have 40gb of music and pictures and videos of my daughter on my old computer, I need to get them onto this one
[03:18] <frojnd> usser, yes
[03:18] <Hammer89> weasel: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m7e950dad
[03:18] <amdbcg> ok, broadcom, chipset 3 , not working - any suggestions? (and if you say ndiswrapper, could you build it for me? or tell me how to build the driver?)

[03:19] <usser> frojnd: cool now try mount /dev/sda1
[03:19] <djezer> help with usb, nothing detected (camera or usb drive)
[03:19] <Furythor> How I stop compiz ?
[03:19] <usser> Furythor: metacity --replace
[03:19] <frojnd> usser, that's weired but I'm still not able to acces as not root
[03:20] <usser> frojnd: man i dunno it should let u do it right now
[03:20] <Ashfire908> my desktop's kernel is out of date, but since there's that exploit, and my connection sucks, (dial-up) should i just wait for the patch?
[03:20] <tantric132> what is the command in terminal to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:20] <mjw-> djezer what does   lspci | grep -i usb    return?
[03:21] <xeom> Is there any fix for keyboard lag? i've tried making my swap bigger(even tho its not being used because my ram is barely getting scratched)
[03:21] <aO|DB> Can someone pls help me move 16GBs of unallocated space to a different partition??
[03:21] <frojnd> usser, bah.. enough for today it's 4:20 am need to get up early, thanx for your time
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Ashfire908: Do you have untrusted people using shell accounts on your computer?
[03:21] <Ashfire908> tantric132, nano or vim. nano is simple, vim is complex
[03:21] <djezer> anyone know how to fix the automount? nothing is detected anymore. I manually mounted my usb drive, but I don't know how to mount my camera, besides, I'd rather have a functional automount
[03:21] <usser> frojnd: np im sorry it didnt work out
[03:21] <mjw-> tantric132 try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst    or gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:21] <xeom> I have a solid pc and have no issues in windows just in ubuntu does anybody know what could be the cause wired logitech keyboard
[03:21] <tantric132> thank you!
[03:21] <frojnd> usser, not a problem tomorrow is another day :P
[03:21] <wease|> hammer89, alt+f2 + gnome-system-monitor doesnt bring anything up?
[03:22] <amenado> xeom clarify the problem, be specific
[03:22] <djezer> 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01)
[03:22] <djezer> 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01)

[03:22] <Ashfire908> Jack_Sparrow, no, still though i don't want to download it for like a half an hour and slow my connection down just to have to download it all over again.
[03:22] <Hammer89> weasel: no
[03:22] <wease|> and no errors?
[03:22] <Hammer89> wease|: no errors from the gui... only if I try running it from the terminal
[03:23] <mjw-> djezer that's a standard usb controller, so it at least sees the usb ports ok
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Ashfire908: If you dont have untrusted people using shell accounts on your system then the exploit isnt an issue
[03:23] <xeom> amendo:Basicly i get 1-2 second lag from my keyboard sometimes I cant finish typing a whole word before it shows up. I even have to turn off repeat keys because it goes crazy
[03:23] <amenado> Ashfire908-> do your download when you go to bed at night..by the time you're awake the next it is done downloading
[03:23] <safiyyah> how do i change the terminal from the current user to root.... i need root priviledges
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[03:23] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[03:23] <Weez> how do you change windows managers? im currently running gnome but would like to try kde, i did apt-get install kde and it did its thing but im not sure how to change over
[03:23] <wease|> hammer89, when you upgraded the kernel was there anything that interrupted it?
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Weez: under options when you log in
[03:23] <Hammer89> wease|: not that I know of
[03:23] <djezer> mjw-, yeah I'd like to either get the automount working or have a way to manually mont my cam if possible
[03:23] <aO|DB> Can someone pls help me move 16GBs of unallocated space to a different partition??
[03:23] <mjw-> Weez apt-get install kubuntu-desktop might transition you over to kubuntu/KDE desktop most gracefully
[03:23] <Weez> ok ill give it a shot, thanks Jack_Sparrow
[03:24] <Weez> ok mjw-
[03:24] <Weez> ill do that first
[03:24] <djezer> mjw-, even the camera programs don't see it (digikam, gphoto2, f-spot)
[03:24] <Hammer89> wease|: there's another kernel upgrade out already... should I try installing it?
[03:24] <pppZero> techqbert, abiword is pretty nice, thanks for the tip :)
[03:24] <Ashfire908> amenado, i can't do that. it's a. a cell phone (free but only in the free calling range) and b. i have a rack server sitting in my house and it's freaking noisey and it's acting as a gateway
[03:24] <mjw-> Weez i'm not sure that's the right package name...might want to check it twice
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam
[03:24] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[03:24] <wease|> hammer89, you can go ahead and install it but i am not sure if that will be the fix
[03:25] <Hammer89> wease|: yeah...
[03:25] <[gquit]bombadil_> !UPS
[03:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ups - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:25] <Hammer89> wease|: maybe I'll do that... + restart the computer... see what that does for me
[03:25] <xeom> So basiclly tons of keyboard lag,I can sometimes finish whole words before it shows up on screen. I can't even use repeat keys because it becomes impossible to type.
[03:25] <safiyyah> sudo isnt doing what i need it to do....
[03:25] <mjw-> djezer well you'd have to have the camera mounted for it to be recognized, and I'm not sure what can be messed up in automount land so I probably can't help you
[03:25] <[gquit]bombadil_> i need some way to make my computer utilize my UPS and monitor its battery time
[03:25] <amenado> Ashfire908-> per Jack if you are the only user for now, dont worry about it for now..btw a whole rack and you are only using your cellfone to dial up?
[03:25] <astro76> safiyyah: what are you trying to do?
[03:25] <safiyyah> how do i truely change from the current user (me) to the root at the terminal
[03:25] <techqbert> pppZero: sure.  Lastly, I'd advise you to save often as I'm not sure if it has document recovery.
[03:26] <wease|> hammer89, i cant find a real fix for something like that due to its peculiarity for me. go forward with an update and see
[03:26] <astro76> !rootshell | safiyyah
[03:26] <ubotu> safiyyah: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous)
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> amenado: :)
[03:26] <djezer> Anyone know how to fix automount (or mount a camera)?
[03:26] <Hammer89> wease|: alright... be back later
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: Did you check the supported hardware page?
[03:26] <Ashfire908> amenado, i use it to do other devices, but it's also a test server and a sort of playground.
[03:26] <safiyyah> astro76, this www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm
[03:26] <pppZero> techqbert, windows users call that the ctrl-s twitch ;)
[03:26] <Ashfire908> amenado, i'm worried about the large downloads.
[03:27] <butsniffer> can i multiple ATA contoller cards of the same type and not have irq conflicts?
[03:27] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, it worked fine last week... it worked for years
[03:27] <astro76> safiyyah: no no no, java and everything else you are likely to need is in Ubuntu's repositories
[03:27] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, now the camera or my usb drive don't automount
[03:27] <astro76> safiyyah: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[03:27] <amenado> Ashfire908-> well if you dont have a big pipe to download, it is an issue, how you can make use of your whole rack of equipment and not access beyond it is amazing..lol
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: Have you used or installed things from outside repos?
[03:28] <safiyyah> astro thank you
[03:28] <astro76> safiyyah: you're welcome ;)
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: Hopefully you have never used automatix or envy?
[03:28] <dward526> safiyyah:  it is also include din 'ubuntu-restricted'
[03:28] <aO|DB> Can someone pls help me move 16GBs of unallocated space to a different partition?? Can i do it on the live disk??
[03:28] <Ashfire908> amenado, access beyond it? (btw, it's 2001, kinda old.)
[03:28] <woodwizzle> For some reason or another metacity too over for emerald on my machine. running emerald --replace just stalls with no output. Glxgears still runs fine though. I dunno wassup? :(\
[03:28] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, not automatix on this machine, envy I don't know
[03:28] <stroyan> bombadil[gquit]: These packages all monitor a UPS in some way- apcupsd genpower nut powstatd tinysnmp-module-ups upsd
[03:29] <amenado> Ashfire908-> yeah, no dsl connections?
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> aO|DB: Yes, you can do it with livecd, but better is use the gparted livecd
[03:29] <bombadil[gquit]> stroyan: thanks, do any of those have a gui?
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: What about the rest
[03:29] <aO|DB> i dont have gparted livecd, what do i use on the ubuntu live cd?
[03:29] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, what rest?
[03:29] <techqbert> pppZero: that's humorous.  I think kde even has a word processor.  kword, its called maybe.  I haven't been following that one htough
[03:29] <xeom> I have tons of keyboard lag,I can sometimes finish whole words before it shows up on screen. I can't even use repeat keys because it becomes impossible to type. Wired generic logitech keyboard works fine in windows.
[03:29] <mjw-> aO|DB gparted is on the ubuntu livecd as well
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: Installing from outside repos
[03:30] <furythor> How I can get ut2004 to work, I installed game and patch and now it only shows splash and quits
[03:30] <Ashfire908> amenado, you mean you wonder why other people can't access it?
[03:30] <stroyan> bombadil[gquit]: "gapcmon - apcupsd monitor GUI"  "knutclient - A KDE GUI that displays UPS statistics from NUT's upsd"
[03:30] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, the last thing I tried to install was iceweasel from deb repo
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> furythor: I think there was a command line option to set a useable res for that program.
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: What else since you last had the cam working
[03:31] <jsoftw> Anyone know of any backup software with pretty guis and stuff that works on Linux, BSD, OSX, and windows?
[03:31] <jsoftw> ( the server can be guiless as its on a linux box )
[03:32] <Ashfire908> amenado, no dsl, at the end of the phone line. modems can't even get 56k connections.
[03:32] <insigne> ygffyfty
[03:32] <eck090> does anyone here use cedega?
[03:32] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, the cam has always worked, I installed everything since the cam worked :P I don't know of any other package that isn't standard

I have a new Envision G218a1 22" widescreen lcd monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050 but when I select that resolution in Ubuntu it displays on only part of my screen and is too far to the right for my monitor's built in adjustment settings. If set to a lower resolution it fill the whole screen as it's supposed to.
[03:35] <Hammer89> weasel: system manager is opening now... but compiz isn't loading on login... I tried logging in and out about 4 times with no luck

[03:35] <ArrPirate> I'm desperate.
[03:35] <tantric132> mjw, at the moment in the menu.lst, it is set as root     (hd0,0) but looking at it in GParted XP is on the first partition which is /dev/sda1

[03:36] <Hammer89> *environment
[03:36] <wease|> hammer89, system monitor was the main concern so i am glad it is functional.

[03:36] <wease|> hammer89, you may want to consider reinstalling gnome desktop manager
[03:36] <djezer> I don't know how to mount and my automount is broken (no one knows how to fix it)
[03:36] <Hammer89> weasel: how do I do that?
[03:37] <mjw-> tantric132 you have to run update-grub if you added or changed an entry

[03:37] <jack-desktop> what is conkys name or title name, or how can i figure it out?

[03:37] <joey_> what is the easiest way for me to create a ntfs partition on my hd?
[03:37] <illriginal> sweet... thanks flannel
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ArrPirate: Usually that is the result of the wrong v/h refresh settings not just the sync 75 or whatever that most people know about.  Look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf then post it in the pasatebin, not in the channel.
[03:38] <wease|> hammer89, apparently something you have installed doesnt agree with gnome
[03:38] <Hammer89> weasel: one other thing... would that be what's responsible for compiz not initiating? (if I try logging in and out enough times compiz initiates properly... eventually... and when it does everything is stable)
[03:38] <stroyan> ArrPirate: I would suspect you need to change a  HorizSync  setting in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  To high of a refresh rate could cause your monitor's distress.
[03:38] <djezer> help ! pretty please, I need to access my camera
[03:38] <joey_> what is the easiest way for me to create a ntfs partition on my hd?
[03:38] <mjw-> tantric132 check ubotu's !grub link...you need to run update-grub to actually update grub. saving menu.lst alone is not enough
[03:38] <djezer> does anyone know howq to mount????
[03:38] <safiyyah> astro76:  sorry i cant figure this out, the installation hung midway and just gave me the terms and conditions which I couldnt get out of, I tried to make firefox install it itself and it tried but got an error, any idea?
[03:38] <wease|> hammer89, would what be responsible?
[03:38] <tantric132> mjw, thank you.
[03:39] <xeom> Does anybody know what might cause keyboard lag of upto 1-2 seconds sometimes i am able to complete whole words before they show up on screen?I have a wired keyboard.
[03:39] <rxKaffee> is there any specific reason that Print menu option would not be showing up in my gimp ? I am using hplip/hpjis printer drivers via CUPS
[03:39] <astro76> safiyyah: press tab to select the ok button, space bar or enter to click it
[03:39] <Hammer89> wease|: gnome desktop manager
[03:39] <djezer> Can't fix my automount and need to access camera through usb
[03:39] <wease|> hammer89, i would uninstall compiz and see how gnome reacts
[03:39] <ste-foy> How I can close firefox ? stop /usr/lib/firefox/firefox on the root ? but doesn't work :(
[03:39] <djezer> would like help on mount command to get it mounted
[03:39] <joey_> can anyone help me partition my hd?
[03:39] <mjw-> ste-foy killall firefox will probably do it
[03:39] <djezer> anyone know how to use the mount command???
[03:39] <wease|> hammer89, it seems fair to think that compiz overloads your system or was installed incorrectly
[03:39] <illriginal> hmmm... Kompozer doesn't exist in the synamptic
[03:39] <Hammer89> weasel: Hmm... my desktop is extremely dependent on compiz (along with my theming... this is gonna hurt) :P
[03:39] <astro76> safiyyah: alternatively, if you install through Synaptic, you'll get a gui window for the license
[03:40] <illriginal> synaptic*
[03:40] <Flannel> illriginal: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:40] <Hammer89> weasel: compiz worked fine for a long time
[03:40] <illriginal> fiesty fawn
[03:40] <stroyan> ArrPirate: There is a success story about ubuntu and your model of monitor at  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=544103
[03:40] <xeom> Does anybody know what might cause keyboard lag of upto 1-2 seconds sometimes i am able to complete whole words before they show up on screen?I can't even use repeat keys, typing is very annoying
[03:40] <wease|> hammer89, so what possibly could have happened to crash the environment?
[03:40] <Flannel> illriginal: You'll need to enable the backports repository
[03:40] <ste-foy> no sorry mjw-
[03:40] <illriginal> back ports?
[03:40] <rxKaffee> xeom: only in Kazekase web browser?
[03:41] <djezer> No one here can help me mount a usb camera ???
[03:41] <ArrPirate> http://pastebin.com/d37a34373
[03:41] <Flannel> illriginal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[03:41] <djezer> I've been googling for 3 days with no workaround
[03:41] <djezer> would like help mounting a camera
[03:41] <Flannel> illriginal: Kompozer was only added to the repos for Gutsy (and backported for Feisty), sicne its relatively new.  That's why you have to do a little bit extra (but not too much)
[03:42] <ste-foy> I have always this message :"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new windows, you must firt close the existing Firefix process
[03:42] <Hammer89> weasel: sorry for leaving... had to restart... it got too unstable :P
[03:42] <rxKaffee> djezer: normally you have to use a card reader, unless you have camera-specific support via gphoto and friends
[03:42] <illriginal> i see... and this program, Kompozer is very similar to Dream weaver?
[03:42] <wease|> djezer, mounting a usb camera is fine if the cam is supported
[03:42] <kaka_> oi
[03:42] <Hammer89> weasel: I've been trying to figure out what went wrong... whatever it is seems to be getting systematically worse
[03:42] <astro76> ste-foy: 'killall firefox' and 'killall firefox-bin'
[03:42] <aO|DB> Can someone help me? Apparently I have 4 "Primary" partitions, and there is 17 Gigs of unallocated space, I want to move the unallocated space to a diff partition.
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: Your cam was working, so it has to be something that was changed , upgraded or installed.  You didnt answer earlier so I doubt you will find a fix.
[03:42] <Starseed> ste-foy, hit alt-f2 , the type killall -9 firefox-bin
[03:42] <ste-foy> ok
[03:42] <KlrSpz> if you use dd to image the harddrive, do you have to unmount it?
[03:43] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, I don't know what to answer
[03:43] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, I don't know of anything i installed that might of broken the automount
[03:43] <ste-foy> ahhh :)
[03:43] <wease|> hammer89, i need some details to find the root of the problem
[03:43] <encrypt128bit> Looking for some help, I finally got the live cd to work and im unsure of where to install the bootloader, I want windows to manager the bootloading, and I have two hard drives. Id like to install the boot loader onto the second hard drive, So .. If my windows hard drive is hd0 would my second hard drive be hd1?
[03:43] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to answer with tthe best of my ability
[03:43] <ste-foy> Thank astro76 and Starseed now is working
[03:44] <jer132> hi there.  I'm having problems with getting my computer to shutdown properly with the shutdown splash.  I have the usplash set to 1400x900 and it boots up fine but it doesn't seem to do the same for shutdown...  anyone have some insight?
[03:44] <ste-foy> and thanks mjw-
[03:44] <Hammer89> weasel: sure... what info would you need?
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> aO|DB: Easiest way is to delete one of the 4 you have, preferably #4 then create an extended or use the livecd to combine the unallocated space with an existing partition
[03:44] <wease|> hammer89, i feel like im reaching at straws to get a definitive answer. but having said that...when it corrupts the gnome desktop then my opinion is to reinstall said desktop manager and reinstall compiz
[03:44] <aO|DB> can i delete the swap??????
[03:44] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, I'm UNAWARE of anything that could have broken the automount!
[03:44] <Hammer89> weasel: hmm
[03:44] <usser> aO|DB: that would be a bad idea
[03:44] <ApOgEE-> hi all...
[03:45] <aO|DB> well cant i just remake the swap after?
[03:45] <astro76> aO|DB: yes swap would be easiest to delete then remake
[03:45] <safiyyah> astro76:  the installation completed but when I test my Java on the Java page it says I have a missing pug-in
[03:45] <djezer> how do I mount a camera??? ANYONE??
[03:45] <wease|> hammer89, once you reach errors in the core system of gnome - i.e. the system-monitor
[03:45] <wease|> then you get some shaky action
[03:45] <usser> aO|DB: oh yes sure if u planning on recreating it
[03:45] <wease|> and it is hard to produce code to fix it
[03:45] <ApOgEE-> i'm having problem with my dial-up connection... i'm using hp nx9010
[03:45] <Hammer89> wease|: yeah... what's the name of the package I'd have to reinstall?
[03:45] <Starseed> djezer, google, ubuntuforums .. dont' spazz out here
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: I understand that you are unaware of anything, but since it did work and now dosent, it will take some work on your part.  I assume you had no form of backup to revert to
[03:46] <KlrSpz> anyone use backuppc? was curious if it's what i want
[03:46] <wease|> hammer89, what version of gnome is it?
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> KlrSpz: I just use one line in cli and create a tar compressed image....
[03:46] <astro76> safiyyah: 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and make sure the java6 is selected, besides that I don't know, I've never had that problem ;)
[03:46] <Hammer89> weasel: not sure... how would I check?
[03:46] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, how about simply mounting???? I mounted my usb hard drive, but I don't know how to do it for my camera
[03:46] <ApOgEE-> can anybody help me? lspci says my modem is ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller
[03:46] <KlrSpz> Jack_Sparrow: not of the entire FS though
[03:47] <wease|> hammer89...system...about gnome
[03:47] <Hammer89> weasel: 2.20.1
[03:47] <stroyan> KlrSpz: I like backuppc.  It seems especially nice for a mixed OS envirionment.  But I didn't try many different packages.
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> KlrSpz: Actually, I did the entire partition and excluded, archives and things I didnt need.
[03:47] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not sure what kind of work besides reinstalling the whole system
[03:47] <wease|> i would first go about unsinstalling compiz
[03:47] <wease|> easiest effort
[03:48] <Hammer89> weasel: okay
[03:48] <djezer> Jack_Sparrow, I'm not a programmer
[03:48] <KlrSpz> stroyan: ok cool.. was what i was looking for.. you think rsync servers on the windows pc's would be worth while or another route?
[03:48] <djezer> No one here knows how to manually  mount a camera??
[03:48] <wease|> uninstall compiz and see if the stability is restored
[03:48] <wease|> brb
[03:48] <djezer> is it that arcane?
[03:49] <encrypt128bit> will ubuntu installer automatically partition the max swap space if im using the live cd installer?
[03:49] <KlrSpz> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but i like to get the entire structure so i don't have to start from any other images for a base fs
[03:49] <djezer> can't find anything on google to fix the broken automount or even how to simply manually mount my camera
[03:49] <stroyan> KlrSpz: I use backuppc on ubuntu pulling from a windows system with cygwin rsync.  It did have some trouble with getting rsync on a vista system happy.
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> djezer: I dont have the time to help with that, but start with lsusb in cli and see if it still sees the camera
[03:49] <greencookie> Is there a delicious addon for opera?
[03:50] <aO|DB> well shoot how do i re-allocate the unallocated space??
[03:50] <KlrSpz> stroyan: so you setup rsyncd with a sync-pont? or did you push?
[03:50] <furythor> Where I can find UT2004 configuration file ?
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> aO|DB: You combine it with the last partition
[03:50] <red_one> i've booted from a install cd - i'd like to actually install from a ISO image on a USB disk - is this possible?
[03:50] <aO|DB> Jack_Sparrow: how? i am using gparted
[03:50] <astro76> aO|DB: you resize a partition which is adjacent to the unallocated
[03:50] <illriginal> anyone know the script to put into terminal in order to download kompozer after adding t deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[03:51] <stroyan> KlrSpz: The backuppc scripts on ubuntu pull with rsync from linux and windows.  It can also restore files that way.

[03:51] <aO|DB> live
[03:51] <vipaca> tg3: eth%d: Cannot get nvarm lock, tg3_nvram_init failed.

[03:51] <sfears> i am trying to copy a folder off of a 2nd hard drive hooked up thru usb.. it says i don't have permission's.. does any one know how i can get that folder copied over?
[03:51] <vipaca> any ideaswhat this special dmesg line meanss?
[03:51] <aO|DB> ohhhhh
[03:51] <KlrSpz> stroyan: yeah, but what i'm asking is how did you get windows setup with rsync via cygwin? did you just set up the daemon? or just connect with a cygwin-capable user?
[03:52] <aO|DB> i can only resize the one next to it????
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> aO|DB: gparted shows 4 partitions and unallocated space, start by unmounting the last partition
[03:52] <astro76> aO|DB: yes you have to potentially slide (move) other partitions to get it where it's needed
[03:53] <illriginal> hmm... still doesn't let me download it.
[03:53] <stroyan> KlrSpz: I set up with a user first.  But I ended up making it a service by the time I had it working.
[03:53] <safiyyah> astro76:  Thank YOUUUUUU!!!! I got it going, still needed to get firefox to do it itself, but also the key is the correct installation (which I couldn't have done without you)
[03:53] <KlrSpz> ok, excellent, just wondering... i didn't really wanna install all of cygwin though just for a daemon.. or do you know of a different package?
[03:53] <wease|> back
[03:53] <encrypt128bit> Looking for some help, I finally got the live cd to work and im unsure of where to install the bootloader, I want windows to manager the bootloading, and I have two hard drives. Id like to install the boot loader onto the second hard drive, So .. If my windows hard drive is hd0 would my second hard drive be hd1? also will ubuntu installer automatically partition the max swap space if im using the automated partition using the full hard d
[03:53] <astro76> safiyyah: excellent, enjoy ;)
[03:53] <djezer> what is the filesystem for a digital camera?
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> astro76: I fear he is a bit of a novice to do all of that.  I thought I would start with something simple
[03:54] <astro76> Jack_Sparrow: I'll let you continue so as not to confuse ;)
[03:54] <aO|DB> Also, for some reason now my big storage drive is now in this "extended" thing, and i would like to take it out
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> astro76: I was about to call it a night
[03:54] <astro76> hah
[03:54] <sfears> i am trying to copy a folder off of a 2nd hard drive hooked up thru usb.. it says i don't have permission's.. does any one know how i can get that folder copied over?
[03:54] <astro76> well I'll help if I can
[03:55] <Scunizi> encrypt128bit, you must have a reason for wanting windows to manage the boot process .. care to share?
[03:55] <KlrSpz> sfears: how did you mount it?
[03:55] <sfears> it self mounted
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> aO|DB: I can help you tomorrow if you dont finish
[03:55] <KlrSpz> do an ls on the mountpoint and see what the perms are
[03:55] <KlrSpz> and is it in your fstab?
[03:55] <sfears> sudo mount /dev/sda /home/user_name/Desktop/mnt?
[03:55] <talcite> hey guys, does anyone use VirtualBox?
[03:55] <sfears> will check fstab
[03:55] <astro76> aO|DB: the extended thing is the way to have more than 4 partitions
[03:55] <encrypt128bit> Scunizi: Its just the way I want it. I want linux as a secondary system at the moment, and I know how to make dual booting work under windows
[03:55] <KlrSpz> sfears: that's how you mounted it?
[03:56] <KlrSpz> sfears: then yeah, root would only have access
[03:56] <sfears> no.. i was asking if that's how i should mount it
[03:56] <sfears> i just plugged it in and it showed up on the desktop
[03:56] <KlrSpz> well you'd put permissions on it possibly, or a guid atleast
[03:56] <sfears> i don't see it in fstab
[03:56] <stroyan> KlrSpz: I am looking at my notes.  I had to change the 'power management' setting for a wifi card to keep a vista system happy during a long backup.  It needed to be changed to "best performance".
[03:56] <aO|DB> astro76: how would i go about making it so that my windows XP and storage drive are inside it? (right now there is only my storage drive)
[03:56] <astro76> aO|DB: you can have at max 4 primary partitions, so the "extended" container was created which can hold more partitions (called logical partitions)
[03:56] <KlrSpz> well run mount without options, find the mountpoint and do an LS on it
[03:56] <aO|DB> ohh
[03:57] <czr> hmm. seems that linux-ubuntu-modules isn't installed automatically when doing a preseed install, seems weird. how do I make a dependency against it properly?
[03:57] <sfears> it has ubuntu installed on it.. i was using it the other day and want to pull a couple files off of it
[03:57] <KlrSpz> stroyan: thanks for the tip, i'm all ubuntu, gentoo, or xp here
[03:57] <astro76> aO|DB: actually, everything can generally be logical... but windows usually demands to be a primary partition
[03:57] <SHMO> how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ?
[03:57] <Scunizi> encrypt128bit, you have a couple of options. Disconnect the windows drive and install Ubuntu to the remining drive so it puts its bootloader there, then switch back and forth using the bios. or Install ubuntu letting it install it's bootloader then return to windows and resetup windows bootloader the way you want.
[03:57] <aO|DB> astro76: yea thats cool you can do that, how would i move the win xp partition into the sub partition?
[03:57] <Hammer89> weasel: I reinstalled compiz... still acting up... took me like 8 logins to get my desktop to show up
[03:58] <djezer> anyone can help fix automount? or help mounting a camera manualy????
[03:58] <wease|> hammer89, did you try to run it without compiz?
[03:58] <MrPiracy> i would like to have "comic sans ms" font installed on my gutsy. how can i do that?
[03:58] <encrypt128bit> Scunizi: Can't I just tell the installer to install the boot loader to my second hard drive? Hence my question, would my second hard drive be considered hd1?
[03:58] <Scunizi> encrypt128bit, although "grub" the default boot loader for Ubuntu is fairly transparent and easy to use.
[03:58] <Hammer89> no... though I have all the plugins disabled
[03:58] <Hammer89> @ weasel
[03:59] <xeom> Does anybody know what might cause keyboard lag of upto 1-2 seconds sometimes i am able to complete whole words before they show up on screen?I can't even use repeat keys with out it going crazy
[03:59] <wease|> hammer89, have you performed fsck at reboot?
[03:59] <kyuubiseal> Sup, do u guys happen to be gamers
[03:59] <djezer> ok there's no help here I'm gonna try using a liveCD
[03:59] <SHMO> xeom check your bios
[03:59] <Hammer89> weasel: no... how would I do that?
[03:59] <nekostar> anyone know how to start a program so that its a restart mode in gnome-session ?
[03:59] <furythor> I get this error when i try to run ut2004 "Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file" How I do fix that ?
[03:59] <SHMO> how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ?
[03:59] <Flannel> Hammer89: `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot (and go get a coffee)
[04:00] <xeom> SHMO:What setting in my bios + i dont think its my bios because it don't get this issue at all in windows
[04:00] <kyuubiseal> are there any gaming irc channels
[04:00] <Scunizi> encrypt128bit, post facto you can redo grub to the second drive, but it won't really do what you want.. maybe someone else in here will have more input if it's possible.
[04:00] <kyuubiseal> are there any gaming irc channels
[04:00] <kyuubiseal> ?
[04:00] <wease|> flannel, thanks
[04:00] <Hammer89> weasel: so try that?
[04:00] <kazim59> When will you release 8.04?
[04:00] <wease|> yup
[04:00] <djezer> kyuubiseal, for glest there is #glest
[04:00] <SHMO> xeom windows over-rides bios settings so that's why you haven't noticed it before
[04:00] <NigelS_> encrypt128bit: you can install grub to the mbr of your other hd then use dd to dump said mbr to a file. you can then place that file in your windows c: drive's root and the modify boot.ini to use this file when the ubuntu option is selected
[04:00] <Starnestommy> kazim59: I think April 6
[04:00] <Flannel> kazim59: April (end-ish)
[04:00] <SHMO> how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ?
[04:01] <tantric132> I cannot fix my GRUB...I still get a Error 22: No such partition   when I select windows from the list.
[04:01] <Hammer89> rebooting
[04:01] <kyuubiseal> How abput call of duty 4
[04:01] <tantric132> I even ran sudo update-grub
[04:01] <nekostar> kazim59 the naming tells you the release date lol
[04:01] <Scunizi> encrypt128bit, there is some reading that might shed some light.. check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm.
[04:01] <wease|> im waitin on 8.04
[04:01] <aO|DB> How can i organize my partitions so that linux and swap are in one part and Windows and storage are in the other?
[04:01] <nekostar> '08 '04
[04:01] <NigelS_> SHMO: it should be auto-mounted when you plug it in within gnome
[04:01] <encrypt128bit> NigelS_: I know that.... no one is listening to my question though, is my second hard drive considered hd1?
[04:01] <wease|> i love runnin the new OSs
[04:01] <xeom> SHMO:ah its not cosistant btw.it comes and goes. What should i look for in the bios
[04:01] <wease|> great fun for me
[04:01] <encrypt128bit> thats all im asking
[04:01] <astro76> aO|DB: I don't think windows will boot if it were logical, also I don't think believe you can convert..
[04:01] <Flannel> encrypt128bit: yes
[04:01] <kazim59> nekostar: how come?
[04:01] <kyuubiseal> is there an Irc channel for call of duty 4
[04:01] <Flannel> kyuubiseal: probably not
[04:01] <SHMO> xeom irq priority for keyboard
[04:01] <sfears> should mount -a should load all file system types??
[04:02] <astro76> aO|DB: what do you have now and what do you want to resize? could you pastebin the output of 'sudo parted /dev/sda print' and I'll take a look
[04:02] <wease|> i built my latest computer around the alpha gutsy
[04:02] <Starnestommy> kyuubiseal: probably on quakenet or efnet, but not on freenode
[04:02] <kazim59> kazim59: okay, got it
[04:02] <MrPiracy> how can i install a new font in gutsy?
[04:02] <wease|> be nice to see how it works with hardy

[04:03] <SHMO> NigelS_, it doesn't, and i'm running hoary hedgehog (5.04). i'm trying to download the latest iso of ubuntu but i don't have enough RAM for storage and my partition is corrupted
[04:03] <bruenig> !botsnack
[04:03] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[04:03] <wease|> haha
[04:03] <wease|> yum be suse
[04:03] <wease|> fool
[04:03] <wease|> :P
[04:03] <aO|DB> astro76: well i dont have IRC on LIVE
[04:03] <mneptok> !enter > wease|
[04:03] <Scunizi> Shrugz, most will include your nick in their line to you so it's highlighted and beeps..
[04:03] <Shrugz> i was not conducting a poll ubotu i was asking a question
[04:04] <aO|DB> astro76: but theres sda1 -> N
[04:04] <red_one> i've booted from a CD, and i have mounted an ubuntu ISO from within liveUbuntu. how do i execute the install script from the ISO mountpoint?
[04:04] <nekostar> anyone know how to start a program so that its a restart mode in gnome-session ?
[04:04] <aO|DB> astro76: but theres sda1 -> NTFS (windows)
[04:04] <tantric132> can someone please help with editing GRUB? I'm having problems loading into windows on the hd(0,0) partition...
[04:04] <wease|> hahaha
[04:04] <nekostar> tantric132 mm?
[04:04] <two_bits> I cannot connect my wireless to a particular hidden essid
[04:04] <wease|> that was unny
[04:04] <as> test
[04:04] <wease|> *funny
[04:04] <Scunizi> Shrugz, Evolution comes with ubuntu and works well. korganizer is another then you could also install zDesktop from zimbra..
[04:04] <aO|DB> astro76: sda2 (which is extended) with only one thing under it (sda5 --> storeage)
[04:05] <SHMO> NigelS_?
[04:05] <mjw-> two_bits then unhide it :)
[04:05] <two_bits> i think the problem stems from the fact that one router is broadcasting two different essids, and i was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this
[04:05] <aO|DB> then the linux part and swap
[04:05] <two_bits> mjw-: unfortunately, this is my school network
[04:05] <Shrugz> yah i tried evolution Scunizi but it did not work for me
[04:05] <Scunizi> Shrugz, are you looking for specific features?
[04:06] <tantric132> nekostar, I've been working on this for awhile now and can't seem to get it to work. I opened /boot/grub/menu.lst and adding the Windows thing at the very bottom and when I reboot and press Windows on the GRUB menu I get a Error 22: No such partition
[04:06] <nekostar> !paste
[04:06] <two_bits> its the georgia tech wireless network, if anyone knows about that
[04:06] <Shrugz> just one able to connect to a stmp and or pop3 server
[04:06] <nekostar> !flood
[04:06] <nekostar> mm bots not here atm
[04:06] <nekostar> one sec
[04:06] <Shrugz> so i can check my email via my website that i own
[04:06] <lap> how can I enable my dual-screen with an 7600 GS nvidia ?
[04:06] <Flannel> Shrugz: Use evolution.  It's the ltitle mail icon on the top of your screen (in the middle of the three)
[04:06] <PJIRCtest> ç
[04:06] <lap> i cannot install nvidia-settings 'cuz it want to remove my nvidia drivers
[04:06] <nekostar> http://pastebin.com/m5fe9b6bf
[04:06] <Scunizi> Shrugz, include my nick when answering. type first few characters then hit tab to complete otherwise your messages dissappear in the morass.
[04:07] <nekostar> first off thats my /boot/grub/menu.lst tantric132
[04:07] <nekostar> now can it let you boot into ANY of the partitions?
[04:07] <nekostar> like linux?
[04:07] <Hammer89> weasel: back... still no luck with compiz running... desktop loaded faster this time though (could just be chance)
[04:07] <Scunizi> Shrugz, so what you're saying is you want to get to your pop email via your personal site.. right?
[04:08] <wease|> hammer89, seems to me that compiz is draggin you down for reasons i cant help
[04:08] <tantric132> nekostar, can yuou explain
[04:08] <Scunizi> !mail > Scunizi
[04:08] <Shrugz> Scunizi yes that's exactly what i am saying
[04:09] <wease|> hammer89, id suggest uninstalling compiz and performing a clean reboot to see how it goes without compiz
[04:09] <Hammer89> wease|: possibly... there seem to be deeper problems though... just from what I can see (stuff not initializing properly, etc...)
[04:09] <nekostar> tantric132 i mean can you not boot into any operating systems or just windows you cannot get to
[04:09] <nekostar> and is it on the same physical hdd
[04:09] <bruenig> wease|, reboot? have you confused this with the ##windows channel?
[04:09] <Hammer89> bruenig: lol
[04:09] <nekostar> bruenig lol.... it is called for now and then tho :P
[04:09] <jpeterman> Why does it seem that every other Linux kernal has a CPU-leak for Netowrk manager?
[04:09] <astro76> aO|DB: it's hard to tell you what to do without understanding your physical setup
[04:09] <tantric132> nekostar, yeah. i can boot into the three ubuntu options, just not windows. at first, Windows wasn't even on the list(well it was when I first formatted, but disapeared) so I added a line at the end of menu.lst
[04:10] <lap> hello ?
[04:10] <wease|> bruenig, no, i simply call a reboot in linux as a ctrl-backspace
[04:10] <lap> someone to help me PLS ?
[04:10] <bruenig> jpeterman, linux kernel and network manager? do you know what you are talking about
[04:10] <Scunizi> Shrugz, sounds like that would be a server related program to access pop.  Of course you'd have to do something on the web page to pipe access via html.. You might try asking in #ubuntu-server.
[04:10] <lap> dual-screen with nvidia 7600 GS
[04:10] <bruenig> restarting x is not a reboot nor anything even related to it
[04:10] <nekostar> tantric132 ok boot into the ubuntu then
[04:10] <lap> without nvidia-settings
[04:10] <wease|> bruenig, it is close enough for me
[04:10] <jpeterman> bruenig not sure. all i know is every few times i update linux kernels network manager all of a sudden starts consuming 98% of CPU after being up for about 20minutes
[04:10] <wease|> i rarely reboot my computer
[04:10] <bruenig> that's like saying restarting firefox is rebooting
[04:10] <wease|> thats as close as i get
[04:11] <nekostar> lap you want dual mons without nvidia driver?
[04:11] <nekostar> lol
[04:11] <MrPiracy> !MPlayer
[04:11] <lap> nekostar: no..
[04:11] <tantric132> nekostar, im in ubuntu right now
[04:11] <jpeterman> bruenig it just started 5minutes after adding the new kernel today, didnt have it happen for the last few months
[04:11] <bruenig> jpeterman, that cannot have anything to do with the kernel, but I would recommend just not using it
[04:11] <lap> nekostar: i want dualscreen with nvidia-glx-new installed.
[04:11] <wease|> bruenig, you would be right
[04:11] <nekostar> tantric132 ok in terminal do: sudo fdisk -l
[04:11] <Trogdor3634> Gutsy question: How would I edit a configuration file in the usr/share folder? Konqueror-superuser won't let me modify the file, nor will text editors
[04:11] <wease|> but i dont use windows
[04:11] <lap> and I cannot install nvidia-settings
[04:11] <bruenig> jpeterman, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc
[04:11] <Hammer89> wease|: would compiz really have any effect on elements of the desktop not drawing properly?
[04:11] <wease|> so my way of a "reboot" is different
[04:11] <Shrugz> Scunizi if that's the case then there's no need for me to ask in that channel i think i already know the problem you just opened my eyes is all its my box so i can fix it from there :) thank you for your input
[04:12] <jpeterman> bruenig Ceteris parabis, what else could it be?
[04:12] <nekostar> http://pastebin.com/m1d67931  >> lap
[04:12] <Scunizi> Shrugz, np :)
[04:12] <Shrugz> :)
[04:12] <bruenig> jpeterman, network manager being sucky
[04:12] <tantric132> nekostar, ok
[04:12] <nekostar> lap nvidia-settings is already installe
[04:12] <nekostar> d
[04:12] <jpeterman> bruenig hadnt happened for 3+months
[04:12] <nekostar> its built into the drivers
[04:12] <nekostar> just run as root lol
[04:12] <bruenig> jpeterman, still
[04:12] <Flannel> Shrugz: You want to host your own mail, on your home box, so you can connect (to your home box) and get your email?
[04:12] <nekostar> tantric132 paste that on www.pastebin.com
[04:12] <Shrugz> Scunizi wow i am a newbie to ubuntu a friend of mine named chris introduced me to it.
[04:13] <Trogdor3634> Gutsy question: How would I edit a configuration file in the usr/share folder? Konqueror-superuser won't let me modify the file, nor will text editors.
[04:13] <wease|> hammer89, IMO yes
[04:13] <bruenig> oh chris introduced you
[04:13] <Flannel> Shrugz: Or you want to connect to your ISPs (whatever) POP and SMTP servers with an email client?
[04:13] <Shrugz> No Flannel i want to connect to my box a box i purchased from a friend
[04:13] <SHMO> ok well it's been atleast 24 hours in this chat room trying to solve my problem, but i guess when it comes to support, you get what you pay for, so thanks for the help (or lack there-of)
[04:13] <Hammer89> weasel: okay... I'll try totally disabling compiz then
[04:13] <Scunizi> Shrugz, It's fun stuff.. welcome
[04:13] <mjw-> Trogdor3634 sudo nano /usr/share/whatever
[04:13] <nekostar> Hammer89 if no joi here then try #compiz-fusion for related problems ^^
[04:13] <tantric132> nekostar, http://pastebin.com/m442cd0d9
[04:13] <Flannel> Shrugz: Right.  So, you want a central mail repository, that grab sstuff from various POP sources
[04:14] <nekostar> tantric132 bingo
[04:14] <nekostar> that first one sda1 is your windows
[04:14] <Shrugz> Bruenig you might now know the chris im speaking of but maybe you do or where you just being a smart allic lol
[04:14] <Hammer89> weasel: brb
[04:14] <nekostar> now post your /boot/grub/menu.lst for me tantric132
[04:14] <wease|> compiz can be sketchy depending on overall hardware and what not
[04:14] <Shrugz> Flannel like windows outlook but better
[04:15] <tantric132> nekostar, http://pastebin.com/m60b1e9d9
[04:15] <Trogdor3634> mjw-... any way to do it in GUI?
[04:15] <Hammer89> weasel: compiz is disabled... things are still drawing wrong
[04:15] <Flannel> Shrugz: Outlook is just a mail client, if I have all my mail on outlook on box A, can I view that mail on box B?
[04:15] <Hammer89> weasel: logged in faster, though
[04:15] <Shrugz> Flannel yes that's what im saying that's what i need
[04:15] <mjw-> Trogdor3634 I know gksu is used with graphical programs in gnome, don't know the one for kde off the top of my head
[04:15] <talcite> blah someone needs to rewrite flash
[04:16] <Flannel> Shrugz: you need a mail client?  or you want to view your mail (stored on box A) from box B?
[04:16] <talcite> adobe's on crack
[04:16] <Trogdor3634> mje- I'm on gnome
[04:16] <wease|> hammer89, it is close to a solution but not as well as i wanted to hear
[04:16] <Hammer89> weasel: the windows on my desktop are randomly flashing :P
[04:16] <MrPiracy> is it possible to install IE on ubuntu?
[04:16] <tantric132> nekostar, I think I just go an idea bud. Can you do me a favor? Look at the bottom of what I sent you. See where it says second drive?
[04:16] <nekostar> tantric132 do you have multiple hard drives?
[04:16] <compwiz18> !ie4linux | MrPiracy
[04:16] <zelrikriando> lol MrPiracy who would do that
[04:16] <Scunizi> Shrugz, Flannel, maybe zimbra ?
[04:16] <Shrugz> Flannel I Want a email client to retreive my email from my box's email setting's directly onto my computer
[04:16] <mjw-> Trogdor3634 then use gksu gedit /usr/share/whatever
[04:16] <juicE_> wow... why would one want IE on Linux
[04:16] <juicE_> :D
[04:16] <Flannel> MrPiracy: through wine, yes.  check out "ies4linux"
[04:17] <compwiz18> MrPiracy: google ies4linux
[04:17] <mjw-> !gksu | Trogdor3634
[04:17] <nekostar> ha
[04:17] <wease|> hammer89, somebody else may chime in to help but i would consider reinstalling gnome 2.20.1
[04:17] <nekostar> thats probably it
[04:17] <Starnestommy> for testing sites for IE compatability?
[04:17] <tantric132> nekostar, if I replaced second drive with /dev/sda2
[04:17] <Flannel> Shrugz: right, thats just a regular mail client.  Evolution will work fine for you.
[04:17] <compwiz18> for sites that don't worok in FF?
[04:17] <MrPiracy> zelrikriando: well ... there are some pages that can only be seen from IE
[04:17] <Shrugz> Scunizi zimbra? ill look into that
[04:17] <MrPiracy> !ie4linux
[04:17] <nekostar> just make it the same as the ubuntu entryies
[04:17] <juicE_> that was a rhetorical question (A)
[04:17] <Hammer89> wease|: I'm nearly desperate enough to try it
[04:17] <MrPiracy> !ies4linux
[04:17] <Flannel> MrPiracy: you'll need to google, we dont have a factoid
[04:17] <zelrikriando> MrPiracy: installing IE will make things worse
[04:17] <nekostar> hm actually
[04:17] <nekostar> hey
[04:17] <compwiz18> zelrikriando: how would it make it worse?
[04:17] <nekostar> yeah
[04:18] <Shrugz> Flannel omg i just finished telling Scunizi that it does not work for me Evolution that iis
[04:18] <Scunizi> Shrugz, zimbra is now owned by Yahoo but it's opensource.  there's a networked server addition and desktop accessable via http from any browser.
[04:18] <wease|> hammer89, its not a big thing to reinstall
[04:18] <nekostar> change it to hdd (1,0)
[04:18] <zelrikriando> compwiz18: by using IE you play M$'s game
[04:18] <wassa> hi newb question.. I installed RPM in gutsy using sudo apt rpm.. i am trying to install the vmware player.rpm ... I have no idea how to install this thing though.. do i have to do it through the terminal??
[04:18] <wease|> it just seems there are corrupt areas therein
[04:18] <Hammer89> wease|: except the theming on my laptop has hours of work behind it :P
[04:18] <Shrugz> Scunizi Barfs At Anything owned by yahoo sorry that's just me
[04:18] <compwiz18> zelrikriando: fair enough, but if you've gotta access a site, then you've gotta access the site... that's the only way
[04:18] <Flannel> Shrugz: What about it doesn't work for you?  "It doesn't work" doesn't tell us a whole lot about whats going wrong
[04:18] <astro76> !alien | wassa
[04:18] <zelrikriando> compwiz18: I dont want to access corrupted sites
[04:19] <Scunizi> Shrugz, they just bought it in the last couple of months. It's a very good app.
[04:19] <wassa> !alien
[04:19] <astro76> wassa: you use alien to convert rpms but it's highly *not* recommended
[04:19] <compwiz18> zelrikriando: then don't install IE :)
[04:19] <zelrikriando> I dont
[04:19] <zelrikriando> :)
[04:19] <Shrugz> Flannel i configured it correctly Evolution but it did not connect maybe its my network maybe its my box i have no clue at this point in time
[04:19] <wassa> astro76 why can't i just install it in some normal method?
[04:20] <wease|> hammer89, if its that big a deal then you may want to wait for somebody who can help solve it from a command line as i cannot at this point.
[04:20] <Shrugz> Scunizi i dont think there going to be buying anything for awhile have you by any chance looked at the news on Yahoo lately
[04:20] <Flannel> Shrugz: alright, well, we'll be happy to help you diagnose it.  If you're looking for non-evolution alternatives, there are plenty.  One that comes to mind is Thunderbird
[04:20] <ubotu> wassa: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:20] <Hammer89> weasel: okay... not sure how long I can wait though... it's pretty much unusable
[04:20] <wassa> is there no way to install this without installing some other application?? why does everything with this build have to be so friggin challenging?
[04:20] <G_Benson> i have several parts of a rar archive (part1.rar, part2.rar, etc.) how do i extract the content so that it is joined back together? (ubuntu 7.10)
[04:20] <Scunizi> Shrugz, no.. they spent 10' of millions on zimbra
[04:20] <wassa> hmmm so I can't install the vmware player then?
[04:20] <ushimitsudoki> G_Benson: archive manager should do that for you automatically
[04:21] <Shrugz> Flannel Okay ill look into thunderbird sounds like something created for mysql lol
[04:21] <Flannel> wassa: sure, get a vmware deb, and you wont need to use alien
[04:21] <stroyan> wassa: Using alien lets you install and remove a package with apt tools like the rest of the system.  With rpm you would install with   rpm -i vmware.rpm
[04:21] <wease|> im off to bed
[04:21] <wease|> night folks
[04:21] <Hammer89> weasel: here's one possibility (maybe)... I used to have KDE installed as well as gnome... I've since removed KDE (I think I still have enlightenment installed, though)... is it possible that some configuration file from KDE is messing me up?
[04:21] <ushimitsudoki> Scunizi: and zimbra's future is in serious doubt because of MS trying to buyout Yahoo. Read the zimbra forums
[04:21] <wassa> what is vmware deb?
[04:21] <Shrugz> Scunizi Yahoo is in the middle of negotiateing with microsoft microsoft wants to buy out Yahoo for some where's around 46 Billion Dollors
[04:22] <Trogdor3634> mje- thanks, I opened gedit via gksu and edited the file from there. Does GKSU show up in the default ubuntu menubar?
[04:22] <Scunizi> ushimitsudoki, Shrugz i know.. time will tell what will actually happen.
[04:22] <zelrikriando> that will not save microsoft from copalsing
[04:22] <mjw-> Trogdor3634 you could make a launcher for gksu gedit if that's what you're getting at
[04:22] <Shrugz> Scunizi well i will half to talk with a admin friend of mine who work's for yahoo he will half to tell me about it on what's going on
[04:22] <wease|> hammer89, no. they normally run separately from my understanding. KDE is KDE, Gnome is Gnome, XFCE is XFCE, etc etc
[04:22] <Trogdor3634> I know I can, I'm asking if it's already on there and I missed it
[04:23] <Hammer89> weasel: okay
[04:23] <Trogdor3634> Ubuntu renames half its applications to generic names
[04:23] <zelrikriando> the new monopoly is google
[04:23] <norty> How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories?
[04:23] <Scunizi> Shrugz, if it's in dought grab it soon.
[04:23] <Flannel> Trogdor3634: thats incorrect
[04:23] <astro76> wassa: I'm really not aware of the best way to install vmware on Ubuntu currently, but you would be better off with their .tar package rather than .rpm
[04:23] <astro76> that is for certain
[04:23] <Trogdor3634> Flannel: as in "Partition Editor" rather than GParted
[04:24] <Scurubuz> hi
[04:24] <Flannel> Trogdor3634: The file itself is still gparted, just because a menu entry may not be, doesn't mean its been renamed.
[04:24] <Flannel> !vmware | wassa
[04:24] <Shrugz> Scunizi buy as much yahoo stock as you can before its all gone as soon as microsoft doe's buy out yahoo LOL anyways
[04:24] <ubotu> wassa: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[04:24] <Scunizi> Shrugz, :)
[04:24] <Trogdor3634> That's what I'm asking - are there any menu entries for gksu by default that I'm missing?
[04:24] <G_Benson> ushimitsudoki i was expecting an iso image, instead i get a bunch of files
[04:25] <Flannel> Trogdor3634: what do you mean "for gksu"?
[04:25] <Scunizi> Trogdor3634, nope but you can make some if you like.
[04:25] <owl16> hi people
[04:25] <Trogdor3634> k, thx
[04:25] <orbisvicis> anyone used xvkbd ?
[04:25] <norty> How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories?
[04:25] <Shrugz> Scunizi Flannel thank you for all your help i will look into those application's as soon as possable this is 1 of the first times i come in that i actualy got any awnser's is newbie to ubuntu but i am geting the hang of it i got to go now you both have a nice night
[04:25] <Scurubuz> cè qualke italiano qui??????????????????
[04:25] <KlrSpz> stroyan: mind helping me wrap my head around something with backuppc? I can't figure out how to do a per-host configuration?
[04:25] <Flannel> !it | Scurubuz
[04:25] <ubotu> Scurubuz: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[04:25] <Scunizi> Shrugz, night!..
[04:26] <Scurubuz> thanks
[04:26] <iratik> I don't know why this is happening... but when i switch on Appearance>Visual Effects>Normal... I lose the title bars and window frames to any window. I also can't see the terminal if I pull it up. This is on a fresh upgrade to gutsy from feisty. I hope someone here has heard of this issue before...
[04:26] <Scurubuz> :)
[04:26] <ushimitsudoki> G_Benson: archive manager will support automatically re-joining the .rar archives ... for example, if you click on the .rar one, then all the .r00-r99 and so forth will be included when the file is extracted. Check what you get when just dbl-clicking one one of the .rar files
[04:27] <CVD-PR> probando
[04:27] <ushimitsudoki> iratik: this is because compiz has turned off "window decorations" probably
[04:27] <Trogdor3634> From the manual: gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo. Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly
[04:27] <norty> How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories?
[04:27] <stroyan> KlrSpz: I put each per host config file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname/config.pl
[04:27] <CVD-PR>  ya misno regreso restarting
[04:27] <iratik> ushimitsudoki: how might I address this issue?
[04:28] <Trogdor3634> Hence, if the given instructions are "Open up an X terminal emulator and type in gksu..."
[04:28] <Trogdor3634> doesn't make much sense
[04:28] <ushimitsudoki> iratik: I do it my using the compiz settings manager to make sure window decorations are enabled. I don't know a better solution (but I wish I did!)
[04:28] <KlrSpz> stroyan: yeah, but how do i tell it to connect to each individual one?
[04:28] <Trogdor3634> any idea why it isn't on the default menu?
[04:28] <KlrSpz> stroyan: it seems like they all share a common connection schema
[04:28] <iratik> ushimitsudoki: how do i open the compiz settings manager?
[04:30] <ushimitsudoki> iratik: it should be under System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effect Settings (if you have the compiz settings package installed - I don't think it is installed by default)
[04:30] <norty> Can someone help me? I want to list only the files not directories , how can I do that using ls.. or some other command??
[04:31] <stroyan> KlrSpz: You can override the setting of variables like  $Conf{XferMethod} in each hosts config file.
[04:31] <xeom> How can i stop keyboard lag its making it impossible to type with repeat keys and impossible to play any games.I can ussualyyyyyyyyyy finish typing a word before it shows up.<- see what i mean about the repeat keys just one tap.
[04:31] <tantric132> If both Ubuntu and Windows are installed on a second hard drive(the first hard drive is unallocated at the moment), and Windows is not on the GRUB list, how do I add it? Its partition is hd(0,0)
[04:31] <iratik> ushimitsudoki: what is the name of the compiz settings package
[04:31] <G_Benson> hmm, anyone know how i can take a bunch of setup files and make a disk image, then burn it in ubuntu? using dvds?
[04:31] <KlrSpz> stroyan: well i'm config'ing from the cgi gui
[04:31] <ushimitsudoki> iratik: um, i think compizconfig-settings-manager? (not sure about that)
[04:31] <Trogdor3634> xeom: System > Preferences > Keyboard
[04:32] <iratik> thanks
[04:32] <vtail> Hello. Anybody knows how to install Firefox 3b2 on Ubuntu 7.10 on x86-64 _AND_ get flash support?
[04:33] <KlrSpz> stroyan: ahhhh.. i just found it... nm
[04:33] <stroyan> KlrSpz: As far as I can tell some of the host setup must be done by editing config files as text.  There is documentation on it in the left margin of the GUI.
[04:33] <xeom> Trogdor i know but that lag contiues and i need to use repeat keys its a problem with the timing of the keyboard
[04:34] <iratik> ushimitsudoki: where do you configure window decorations in compizconfig settings manager?
[04:34] <Trogdor3634> xeom: On that configuration window ("Keyboard Preferences"), there should be an option for Repeat Keys Delay, and you should set it to Long
[04:34] <ushimitsudoki> iratik: it is under the "Effects" section and is called "Window Decoration"
[04:35] <danielski_pl> lol i got a new laptop 2 hours ago with vista and now im a happy buntu user
[04:35] <wobblywu> my ubuntu just crashed (required a hard reset), and now gnome has gone colour-crazy; http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotubuntuforumsmhq2.png
[04:35] <Trogdor3634> xeom: or at least, longer than it is now
[04:35] <MidnighToker> hmm, i removed compiz and now i have no window manager :S
[04:35] <wobblywu> whenever any text moves in a window (nautilus, firefox, xchat), fonts screw up and the background (if not already black) becomes black (like in the screenshot)
[04:35] <xeom> Troogdor i know about it. Still doesnt not fix the lag issue. For instance when im playing a game i will keep moving in the same direction or take to long to jump even with repeat keys on
[04:35] <wobblywu> any ideas? and, even better, a solution? :)
[04:36] <KlrSpz> stroyan: you pick the host at the top, i didn't see it
[04:36] <KlrSpz> anyway, i'm out for the night.. thanks
[04:36] <Trogdor3634> xeom: Elaborate the phrase "Even with repeat keys on"
[04:36] <Hammer89> weasel: still here?
[04:36] <stroyan> KlrSpz: Oh.  that "Edit config" under a particular hosts home page does seem to have all the variables per host.
[04:36] <levander> Can you view flash movies on YouTube full screen on Ubuntu like you can in Windows?
[04:37] <Bakefy> so i have a new raid 1 set, just mounted it, cant write to it.  anyone know what to do>
[04:37] <foso> hey all, i cant see videos on youtube, i could but then ff asked me to update and now it doesnt work, someone here pointed me to a wiki but it isnt really applicable, i tried reinstalling gnash but it still doesnt work, any ideas?
[04:37] <MrPiracy> Pidgin 2.2.1 doesnt have webcam feature?
[04:37] <wobblywu> MrPiracy, it does not
[04:37] <Dezine> levander, in firefox you can, it pops up a window and you just maximize that
[04:37] <xeom> sorry trogdor3634 that was ment to say off i keep moving in games in the same direction or jumping to late even with repeat keys off. Its some kind of keyboard lag
[04:37] <Hammer89> guess not
[04:38] <Hammer89> I can't log in to Ubuntu... my desktop never loads
[04:38] <Hammer89> it just gives me a little X as a cursur
[04:38] <levander> Dezine: I see a window pop up in the lower left, but it just disappears on me, even if I move fast enough to get the mouse over it before it disappears.
[04:38] <Hammer89> *curser
[04:38] <Dezine> Hm, it did that for me but the second try worked.
[04:38] <tantric132> I need a little help with GRUB I think I almost got it just need someone to look at something. Anyone with knowledge of GRUB?
[04:39] <Bakefy> anyone here know a bit about how raid works with ubuntu?  I have some questions.
[04:39] <Trogdor3634> xeom: Do you have any Keyboard Accessibility Preferences set?
[04:40] <sn00zer> tantric132, i'm no expert but i'll look at it
[04:41] <eck090> does anyone here use cedega?
[04:41] <Trogdor3634> eck090: just ask your question :)
[04:41] <UbunLin> I'm having some graphics issues in Hardy Heron with the Radeon Mobility 9100IGP chipset. I've already put the Options "AGPMode" "4" in place in the xorg configuration, but that still gives graphic garbage on boot. Does anyone know of an additional fix or a bug that I might contribute to?
[04:41] <wobblywu> no thoughts on my problem, then?
[04:41] <tantric132> sn00zer, http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d this is my fdisk -l   and this is what i have added to the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst   http://pastebin.com/d1e7d7dde
[04:41] <CodeMa1> I'm not new to Ubuntu, I know that when one process is using a sound device, another cannot. However, is it possible to bend this? I'm using a USB headset, and would like to use it in both Skype and Firefox/Media Programs at the same time. Possible?
[04:42] <Cpudan80> Anyone know if kile runs ok under gnome?
[04:42] <ushimitsudoki> UbunLin: hardy at #ubuntu+1
[04:42] <eck090> Was wondering if anybody used it because i have a game installed on my windows drive but i want to port it into cedega without installing from the cd's again
[04:42] <eck090> if that was possible
[04:42] <tantric132> sn00zer, I'm thinking that if I replace /dev/sda1 with /dev/sda it will fix it? bc /dev/sda1 is the name of the partition but /dev/sda is the name of this disk
[04:42] <Hammer89> *tries again a bit more orderly* I just logged out of Ubuntu, and when I tried to log back in it wouldn't load my desktop (only gave me an X as my curser)... this is kinda urgent,,, can anyone help?
[04:42] <levander> Dezine: I figured it out.  I had to turn off Compiz.
[04:42] <Dezine> Oh
[04:42] <Dezine> yeah
[04:43] <Dezine> Glad you got it, I was going to try other browserts
[04:43] <ushimitsudoki> Hammer89: no message of any kind?
[04:43] <Hammer89> ushimitsudoki: no
[04:43] <G_Benson> everyone ignore my previous question
[04:43] <Hammer89> ushimitsudoki: just a black screen
[04:43] <UbunLin> ushimitsudoki: The room seems to be a bit dead.
[04:43] <tantric132> what is the page on dell to build a laptop with ubuntu?
[04:43] <tantric132> everyone i try to build has windows
[04:43] <CVD-PR> any know how to start xchat automatically when logon, but only the tray icon or minimized
[04:43] <CVD-PR> ?
[04:44] <G_Benson> go to ubuntu.com tantric123, they have the ubuntu models listed
[04:44] <ushimitsudoki> UbunLin: Well, it's the room for Hardy *shrug*
[04:44] <MrPiracy> wobblywu: do you know any program that does it?
[04:44] <CVD-PR> ?
[04:44] <UbunLin> tantric132: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs is a good place to start.
[04:44] <UbunLin> or http://www.ubuntu.com/dell/
[04:44] <stroyan> Hammer89: Use <ctrl><alt><F1> to get to the text console.  Then you can log in and poke around the log files and ps output.
[04:45] <ushimitsudoki> Hammer89: what about getting a command line first? Did you try that? Then try to start gdm from there
[04:45] <ushimitsudoki> Hammer89: yes, what stroyan says
[04:45] <Hammer89> ushimitsudoki: what command would I use to start GDM?
[04:45] <CodeMa1> Anyone: Any response to my former?
[04:45] <ushimitsudoki> Hammer89: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:45] <Hammer89> okay
[04:46] <sn00zer> tantric132, i think it needs the partition info have you tried it as is?
[04:46] <Hammer89> **gone**
[04:46] <wassa> what do you guys use for vm applications for gutsy ?
[04:46] <stroyan> Hammer89: Since gdm is already running you would use    sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:46] <SASQUATCH> hello all!
[04:46] <Starnestommy> wassa: I usually use qemu/kvm, although I've tried xen and virtualbox before
[04:46] <wassa> apparently the vmware player does not work on i386 machines
[04:46] <SASQUATCH> I am about to give up on linux
[04:47] <UbunLin> ushimitsudoki: Is there another place to ask besides ubuntuforums.org and the #ubuntu+1 room?
[04:47] <CodeMa1> I'm not new to Ubuntu, I know that when one process is using a sound device, another cannot. However, is it possible to bend this? I'm using a USB headset, and would like to use it in both Skype and Firefox/Media Programs at the same time. Possible?
[04:47] <ushimitsudoki> UbunLin: launchpad.net I would think... you could search for an existing bug or start a new one
[04:47] <UbunLin> I would just trace the process, but tracing X.. heh.. that is a bit more than I want to bite off unless I absolutely have to.
[04:47] <UbunLin> ushimitsudoki: I've searched that and the lists. I would like to avoid opening a new bug about this if at all possible.
[04:47] <Lalo_> hello
[04:48] <G_Benson> goodbye
[04:48] <Lalo_> irc.freenode.net
[04:48] <foso> anyone know why i cant watch flash videos?
[04:48] <G_Benson> flash isnt installed foso
[04:48] <wassa> Starnestommy were you able to install xp as a layer?
[04:49] <SASQUATCH> anyone know of a troubleshooter for connecting ubuntu to the internet through a router?
[04:49] <Lalo_> somebody to new your?
[04:49] <SASQUATCH> the forums are absolutely no help
[04:49] <Starnestommy> wassa: I've never tried to, but one of my friends was able to do it in qemu or kvm
[04:49] <Lalo_> somebody to new york?
[04:49] <G_Benson> i run mine through a router with a windows machine as well SASQUATCH
[04:49] <foso> G_Benson could you explain?
[04:50] <wassa> qemu does not show up when I search for add remove applications
[04:50] <SASQUATCH> yeah i tried that the xp can connect but the ubuntu machine cannot
[04:50] <Starnestommy> wassa: use System > Administration > Synaptic
[04:50] <G_Benson> you need to install firefox
[04:50] <wassa> oh ok
[04:50] <G_Benson> firefox's flash plugin*
[04:50] <Redrose> I have a problem with what I assume is fonts
[04:50] <foso> G_Benson where can i get that?
[04:50] <cometin> #bookz
[04:50] <cometin> hi
[04:51] <travisat> if your processor supports it kvm is faster then qemu
[04:51] <G_Benson> does the ubuntu machine dual boot w/ windows SASQUATCH?
[04:51] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: have you verified basic network connectivity? pinged the router etc? are you obtaining settings via DHCP?
[04:51] <Redrose> When I'm at the login screen, the font is giant size
[04:51] <G_Benson> google it foso
[04:51] <Redrose> like 72 point
[04:51] <stroyan> SASQUATCH: Is the network wired or wireless?  Can you get to other systems inside the router?
[04:51] <SASQUATCH> the router sees the ubuntu machine, but ubuntu doesn't connect.
[04:51] <cometin> hello
[04:51] <cometin> imfrom mexico
[04:51] <G_Benson> imfrom america
[04:51] <SASQUATCH> yeah i tried the pppoeconf command and it doesn't find a connection
[04:51] <jeffMASTERflex> R/bye
[04:51] <Lalo_> somebody wants to make an interchange cultural?
[04:52] <Redrose> Anyone have a solution? Fonts too big at login screen>?
[04:52] <SASQUATCH> oh and i tried to ping the router, to no avail...
[04:52] <CodeMa1> I'm not new to Ubuntu, I know that when one process is using a sound device, another cannot. However, is it possible to bend this? I'm using a USB headset, and would like to use it in both Skype and Firefox/Media Programs at the same time. Possible?
[04:52] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: pppoeconf is not neccessary if you're networked to a router - this router connects to the device that connects to the net or is itself the modem?
[04:52] <CVD-PR> ?
[04:52] <travisat> SASQUATCH: if you are connecting to a router you don't use ppp, you need to set up a lan, on eth0 or eth1 normally
[04:52] <Hammer89> Okay... restarted my computer and I'm back in Ubuntu.... but things aren't drawing properly (graphics are kinda screwed up)... and it's running _really_ sluggishly and unstable... anyone have any idea what could be wrong? this is getting pretty urgent
[04:53] <stroyan> Redrose: I have seen that with Intel graphics.  Once you log in you could use xdpyinfo to see if the resolution is reported as crazy values.
[04:53] <Lalo_> somebody wants to make an interchange cultural?
[04:53] <mrb88> I have ubuntu installed inside a Virtual PC, recent updates have left me with no network connectivity. Forum thread is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144 wondering if any could help.
[04:53] <jeffMASTERflex> Redrose: i had the opposite problem, my fonts were too small. i fixed the problem by forcing the dpi of the nvidia driver in xorg to 96 dpi
[04:53] <wassa> do i need all the other qemu stuff or just qemu/kvm ?
[04:53] <NigelS_> Hammer89: incorrect gfx driver?
[04:53] <Hammer89> NigelS_: it was working for quite a while before today
[04:53] <SASQUATCH> my router connects to a dsl modem
[04:53] <NigelS_> Hammer89: what did you change?
[04:53] <bluej774> Are there any sed masters in here?
[04:54] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: then you are just doing normal tcp/ip from ubuntu box --> router in which case you dont need to fiddle with ppoeconf
[04:54] <b4l74z4r> where on the disk does ubuntu place the swap file?
[04:54] <Hammer89> Hammer89: nothing I can think of... other than some updates in synaptic (including kernel updates)
[04:54] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: your router is using DHCP to provide settings to clients?
[04:54] <jeffMASTERflex> b4l74z4r: on a separate parition
[04:54] <Redrose> Yes, I have intel. I did xdpyinfo, but nothing looks out of the blue
[04:54] <sn00zer> tantric132, did it work?
[04:54] <bluej774> b4l74z4r: In the swap partition.
[04:54] <SASQUATCH> yeah i think it is, however i must confess i am really ignorant when it comes to networking
[04:54] <ComunisTico> hi i got a problm with my pc, specificaly my ram
[04:54] <chaosrl> where are screenshots saved in gutsy? i can't seem to find them
[04:54] <travisat> wassa: just kvm/qemu then you have to modprobe the kvm modules and it should work, you might have to reboot after you install it
[04:55] <ComunisTico> ive got a laptop with an internal 512Mb ram
[04:55] <jeffMASTERflex> chaosrl: usually on your desktop
[04:55] <b4l74z4r> i know, but is it the swap partition placed at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the disk?
[04:55] <ComunisTico> i recently added 1Gb to my xternal slot for the ram
[04:55] <tantric132> sn00zer, no and I'm getting frustrating. Going on two hours now XD. Can you explain why on http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d next to the /dev/sda1 it has a * under boot?
[04:55] <stroyan> Redrose: It should have a xdpyinfo line something like   "resolution:    98x98 dots per inch" when broken the values are very different.
[04:55] <bluej774> I need sed to replace any new lines with two quotation marks and a new line.  Can anyone help me with what command I should give sed?
[04:55] <wassa> travisat ... how do i access the gui? I assume there is a gui?
[04:55] <sn00zer> tantric132, that means its a bootable partition
[04:55] <ComunisTico> works good, until it crashes
[04:56] <gamerdude> any x-chat scripters on that could help me figure out how to get scripts to work?
[04:56] <Redrose> 112x968
[04:56] <ComunisTico> it only happens when i got the ram on
[04:56] <travisat> wassa: no gui to my knowledge
[04:56] <chaosrl> jeffMASTERflex: i can't find them on my desktop, in my home folder, or in my pictures folder. is there anywhere else?
[04:56] <wassa> fucccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[04:56] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: if you click on your network icon and check setings or go to system settings and chenk networking - how is the card setup?
[04:56] <Starnestommy> virtualbox-ose has a gui, wassa
[04:56] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: have you used the cmdline at all?
[04:56] <sn00zer> tantric132, what exactly is your problem? can boot into linux but not windows?
[04:56] <tantric132> sn00zer, ok so any ideas? I've tried everything. hd(0,0) isn't right, becuase the first 0 represents the disk? and the second represents the partition?
[04:56] <travisat> wassa: oh come on its really easy to use from cmd line
[04:56] <jeffMASTERflex> chaosrl: if you use the "take a screenshot" tool rom accessories, it tells you where it is saving the picture after you take the screenshot
[04:56] <SASQUATCH> i've used the cmd line in as much as i tried things that were suggested from forum posts, with little luck
[04:56] <foso> hey all, my flash problems were solved by deleting gnash and restarting firefox in case someone else has the same issue later
[04:56] <wassa> so do i need to do the sudo qemu ?
[04:57] <travisat> wassa: huh?
[04:57] <tantric132> sn00zer, it all started when Windows disapeared off of the GRUB menu when I started my computerm, so i'm attempting to add it back so I can load into windows
[04:57] <Hammer89> *repeats* restarted my computer and I'm back in Ubuntu.... but things aren't drawing properly (graphics are kinda screwed up)... and it's running _really_ sluggishly and unstable... anyone have any idea what could be wrong? this is getting pretty urgent
[04:57] <NigelS_> tantric132: because that is the boot drive
[04:57] <chaosrl> jeffMASTERflex: that's what i was afraid of. i'm using it and it's just making the "busy" mouse pointer for a few seconds, and goes away. it did used to ask me, but not anymore.
[04:57] <Redrose> is there a tool I can run to help fix it? right now the DPI is 112x968
[04:57] <wassa> i installed both kvm and qemu ... but i don't see how to access or start them??
[04:57] <travisat> wassa: I suggest you look on the ubuntu forums for kvm/qemu how to
[04:57] <wassa> ok
[04:57] <wassa> back to the forums..
[04:57] <gamerdude> hammer89: how long has the issue been going on?
[04:58] <jeffMASTERflex> chaosrl: then you have a different issue altogether. if you use compiz you can probably use its screenshot plugin to take a screenshot
[04:58] <ouellettesr> hello, can i set a baud rate in a udev rules file?
[04:58] <wassa> !qemu
[04:58] <ubotu> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[04:58] <tantric132> sn00zer, so originally, that last part of my /boot/grub/menu.lst wasn't even there - someone suggested adding it, but what he said to add didn't work so I have been changing things around.
[04:58] <chaosrl> jeffMASTERflex: ah, i forgot about that. i'll give it a shot. Thanks!
[04:58] <SASQUATCH> i have to two ethernet ports on my system, one built into the mobo and another added separately so they are eth0 and eth1
[04:58] <travisat> wassa: use that but you can replace winxp with other x86 based systems
[04:58] <SASQUATCH> when i set them to dhcp in network connections i get no connectivity
[04:58] <Hammer89> gamerdude: it's been getting buggy for a few days now (where I'd have to log in and out a few times to get it running).... it only got serious today
[04:58] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: ok, without knowing what state your network card is in it's quite hard to see what's wrong; but - from a terminal let's first give your card an ip address
[04:58] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: what's the IP of your router?
[04:59] <Hammer89> gamerdude: I installed one update last night... and another tonight
[04:59] <stroyan> Redrose: The problem is discussed at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10304  You may be able to correct it by adding a manual "DisplaySize line" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as discussed at the URL.
[04:59] <wobblywu> my ubuntu just crashed (required a hard reset), and now gnome has gone colour-crazy; http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotubuntuforumsmhq2.png
[04:59] <gamerdude> hammer89: do you recall what those updates were?
[04:59] <wobblywu> whenever any text moves in a window (nautilus, firefox, xchat), fonts screw up and the background (if not already black) becomes black (like in the screenshot)
[04:59] <wobblywu> any ideas?
[04:59] <Hammer89> gamerdude: some kernel updates... don't know what they were for other than that...
[04:59] <SASQUATCH> ip of router = <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:59] <gamerdude> hammer89: and have you changed your hardware at all ie., usb items
[04:59] <phuzion> Hey, I'm looking to put a little load monitor in my taskbar at the top, next to where it says my name.  Anyone got any ideas?
[04:59] <sn00zer> tantric132, mine is root (0,0) but you said that didn't work correct?
[04:59] <Hammer89> gamerdude: I'm using a laptop... no hardware changes at all
[04:59] <sn00zer> tantric132, mine is root (0,0) but you said that didn't work correct
[05:00] <graelb> Hi there... my TTY's don't work... Nvidia video card, on a laptop, running the newest nvidia drivers installed with the restricted driver manager...
[05:00] <gamerdude> hammer89: running 7.10 32bit or 64bit?
[05:00] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: ok, so if for this one we try setting: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:00] <sn00zer> tantric132, root (hd0,0) sorry
[05:00] <Hammer89> gamerdude: 7.10 32bit
[05:00] <chaosrl> jeffMASTERflex: haha, compiz plugin worked like a charm. you just saved me a TON of trouble, thanks so much!
[05:00] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: and then sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:00] <jeffMASTERflex> chaosrl: no prob.
[05:00] <tantric132> sn00zer, i'm not sure. see I'm changing around two different things here. tell me what it says at the very top....# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
[05:00] <tantric132> # on /dev/sda  that part
[05:01] <tantric132> sn00zer, what is yours on?
[05:01] <gamerdude> hammer89: are you familiar with the recovery kernel in the boot loader?
[05:01] <Hammer89> gamerdude:  no...
[05:01] <pg> Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)?
[05:01] <sn00zer> tantric132,  mine is hda1 which translates to hd0,0
[05:01] <gamerdude> hammer89: it's not complicated, are you dual booting?
[05:01] <Hammer89> gamerdude: yes... with vista
[05:02] <xeom> how can i "add "ec_intr=0" to your boot line"
[05:02] <gamerdude> hammer89: okay, when you boot up you will have an option to choose the recovery kernel
[05:02] <tantric132> sn00zer, so what does sda1 translate to?
[05:02] <sn00zer> tantric132,  mine aren't sda drives though, maybe (sd0,0) would do it?
[05:02] <cafuego> xeom: You're not allowed to add anything to my boot line, thankyou.
[05:02] <Hammer89> gamerdude: I have no idea how to use it, though...
[05:02] <tantric132> that's actually a good idea sn00zer. one sec
[05:02] <cafuego> xeom: You can add it to your own though, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:02] <gamerdude> hammer89: k just a sec
[05:03] <Hammer89> gamerdude: okay
[05:03] <SASQUATCH> NigelS, I typed the commands and received no errors, but still no connection
[05:03] <quest23> does anyone use the ubuntu ultimate edition?????
[05:03] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: you can't even ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[05:03] <cafuego> quest23: There's only one edition as far as i know
[05:04] <xeom> cafuego: Thanks that was just a copy paste.How can i edit the file i forgot the command
[05:04] <NigelS_> I suspect this is a play on vistas innumerable versions :)
[05:04] <tantric132> sn00zer, no that can't work because I'm looking at a working example off of a website. it's exactly like this:
[05:04] <tantric132> sn00zer, # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
[05:04] <tantric132> # on /dev/sda1
[05:04] <tantric132> title        Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
[05:04] <tantric132> root        (hd0,0)
[05:04] <tantric132> savedefault
[05:04] <tantric132> makeactive
[05:04] <quest23> there is an ultimate edition that has basically all the kinks worked out..already
[05:04] <FloodBot2> tantric132: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:04] <visualdensity> hi guys, does having SSH access means I can also do an rsync? Or do they run on different ports?
[05:04] <cafuego> xeom: sudo nano or sudo gedit
[05:04] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: perhaps if you paste the output of ifconfig and route to a pastebin
[05:04] <xinx> hi
[05:04] <SASQUATCH> Sadly, no Pinging the router gives nothing
[05:04] <xeom> cafuego: thanks a bunch
[05:05] <cafuego> no worries
[05:05] <tantric132> sn00zer, did you get that or do I need to post it on a site
[05:05] <xinx> can someone give me a hand please? with ubuntu I have an issue :[ im new with this OS
[05:05] <sn00zer> i got it
[05:05] <NigelS_> xinx: just ask away
[05:05] <SASQUATCH> NigelS, sorry i understand ifconfig, but am not sure what you mean by pasting it to a pastebin, i'm not to knowledgable on these sorts of things
[05:05] <xinx> I had windows xp I installed ubuntu and I just made a partition
[05:06] <xinx> I didnt format the drive and I can choose when I boot what OS to use
[05:06] <cafuego> xeom: You'll probably want to add it to the line starting with "# kopt=" as well as the actual line with your kenrel, so it will remain after kernel updates.
[05:06] <tantric132> sn00zer, http://pastebin.com/d38afd564
[05:06] <xinx> is not showing and I have many information paperwork and stuff on windows
[05:06] <jeffMASTERflex> pastebin!
[05:06] <cafuego> xinx: Did you resize the windows partition?
[05:06] <xinx> I have 250 GB I took only 50 GB of it
[05:07] <badkitty> back
[05:07] <xinx> for ubuntu
[05:07] <cafuego> xinx: ... and the windows partition is still there? You can boot it ok?
[05:07] <nickrud> tantric132: that didn't work for you, the one I put up?
[05:07] <xinx> no is not showing
[05:07] <xinx> windows
[05:07] <cafuego> xinx: can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to a pastebin?
[05:08] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: it's a place to paste content - trouble being if your linux machine isn't online....it sounds like your network interface isn't coming up for some reason
[05:08] <xinx> you know when you boot it shows a selection what to use ubuntu or windows
[05:08] <xinx> and it only go straight to ubuntu
[05:08] <tantric132> nickrud, no and i'm still haven problems. I've been working on it ever since you left haha. must have rebooted 10 times. let me show you my current. both my menu.lst and my fdisk and you can see what I need
[05:08] <gamerdude> hammer89: you have all the latest updates correct?
[05:08] <quest23> do your files show up ???on ubuntu??
[05:08] <Hammer89> gamerdude: that I know of... yes
[05:08] <nickrud> tantric132: sure, on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:09] <xinx> my files?
[05:09] <tantric132> nickrud, this is menu.lst http://pastebin.com/d1e7d7dde and this is fdisk http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d
[05:09] <NigelS_> Hammer89: so what driver are you currently using for xorg?
[05:09] <gamerdude> hammer89: okay, so you will have "friendly recovery" when you boot into the new kernel - if you were able to install this OS yourself it will be very straight forward
[05:09] <quest23> the paperwork
[05:09] <cLean> :D
[05:09] <adorablepuppy> hi
[05:09] <cLean> to the world of lilpimps
[05:09] <xinx> I cant get access
[05:09] <Hammer89> gamerdude: ah... okay... I did install it myself
[05:09] <gamerdude> hammer89: more information can be found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FriendlyRecovery
[05:09] <xinx> im on ubuntu right now
[05:09] <tantric132> nickrud, keep in mind that I have two HDs. the first HD(hd #1) is not formatted yet(gonna use it for storage, its currently unallocated). the second hard drive has ubuntu and windows
[05:10] <xinx> I want to have access to windows too
[05:10] <SASQUATCH> NigelS, thanks for your input, I'll keep tinkering.
[05:10] <nickrud> tantric132: yeah, I hadn't caught that.
[05:10] <gamerdude> hammer89: friendly-recovery let's you repair broken aspects of the OS including the kernel itself
[05:10] <Redrose> ok, got my display working... next, sound. my problem is that the sound is way way way too low
[05:10] <xinx> I have important stuffs on windows can someone help me please
[05:10] <Hammer89> gamerdude: okay... I'll take a look at that
[05:10] <gamerdude> hammer89: i hope that helps ;)
[05:10] <xinx> :/
[05:10] <Hammer89> gamerdude: thanks :)
[05:10] <pg> Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)?
[05:10] <Redrose> like even when I turn it up to the max, it's still only about 1/4 as loud as it should be
[05:11] <thiemster> xinx:what stuff?
[05:11] <tantric132> nickrud, I should have provided that in the first place and I'm sure none of this would have happened haha
[05:11] <cafuego> xinx: can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to a pastebin?
[05:11] <xinx> I install ubuntu on a partition that I made
[05:11] <NigelS_> SASQUATCH: if you can rule out a hardware problem, cable problem etc then it should just be a matter of configuring the software - but plainly something is up since obtaining a DHCP lease is automated and should def work out of the box
[05:11] <cafuego> xinx: If you need help, you need to help us help you.
[05:11] <xinx> and I cant access to windows back
[05:12] <thiemster> xinx: boot a live cd, then u may be able to access the information
[05:12] <xinx> cafuego please can you explain me step by step ... im new with this
[05:12] <xinx> please I will appreciate the help
[05:12] <stroyan> Redrose: Right click on the volume icon.  Select open volume control. Choose Edit->preferences menu item.  Enable all the toggles.  Then look for low volume setting on some of the sliders.
[05:12] <quest23> i had the same problem xinx..but i was able to see them even on ubuntu...and i just used ubuntu to open...
[05:12] <cafuego> run the command 'sudo fdisk -l' and put the output on a pastebin. Tehn give us the ink.
[05:12] <cafuego> link
[05:12] <xinx> ok
[05:12] <nickrud> tantric132: show me your entire menu.lst
[05:12] <tantric132> one sec

[05:13] <tantric132> nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d6d026f9e
[05:13] <putnum> yea i didn't like virtualbox when i ran it
[05:13] <sentix> Is there an "easy" way to move 32K subdirectories from /subdirectory to /sub/dir/ect/ory/subdirectory
[05:14] <nickrud> tantric132: and your ubuntu is booting properly, yes?
[05:14] <tantric132> correct
[05:14] <tantric132> all three options
[05:14] <badkitty> virtualbox..gone
[05:14] <tantric132> are
[05:14] <BagelMaster> It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, how do I install an .ebuild?
[05:14] <frogzoo> sentix: use find
[05:15] <thiemster> can i install a non-cups printer in linux?
[05:15] <quest23> h**p://ultimateedition.info/
[05:15] <cafuego> xinx: If that's it, it looks like you wiped windows.
[05:15] <quest23> has anyone else used this edition of ubuntu
[05:15] <xinx> http://pastebin.com/m25bee414
[05:15] <xinx> omg
[05:15] <xinx> omg omgomgomgomg
[05:15] <gamerdude> so are there any script kiddies in the house to help with x-chat?
[05:15] <xinx> I cant loose those files
[05:15] <xinx> help me please
[05:15] <cafuego> I';m sorry, but it looks like you did.
[05:15] <astro76> quest23: not recommended, it's not official, not supported, and uses the terrible automatix
[05:16] <sentix> frogzoo: something like find -exec mkdir $1[0-2]/$[3-4]/$[5-7] - with criteria and correct syntax that is?
[05:16] <thiemster> cafuego: couldn't xinx's windows partition just not be mounted or does fdisk list unmounted partions too.
[05:16] <cafuego> thiemster: fdisk reads the partition info off disk.
[05:16] <Starnestommy> gamerdude: try #xchat
[05:16] <thiemster> cafuego: oh. ok
[05:16] <xinx> It didnt say anything about format the disk only to select the space
[05:17] <quest23> hum.....ive been using it for a while now...worked for me fine...all the little kinks worked out the box...didnt have to configure or set up nothing
[05:17] <quest23> oh well
[05:17] <thiemster> cafuego: are there tools to recover deleted partitions?
[05:17] <quest23> just checking
[05:17] <xinx> and I did it
[05:17] <gamerdude> starnestommy: yeah i did, it's completely dead there heh
[05:17] <tantric132> nickrud, should it be (hd1,1)? Becuase the Ubuntu is (hd1,2) in menu.lst and it is on the same hard drive and is one partition behind the ntfs(xp)
[05:17] <nickrud> tantric132: add the lines   map (hd0) (hd1)   <newline>   map (hd1)(hd0)  <newline>  between the title and root lines in your windows stanza. You have to fool windows into thinking it's running from the first drive
[05:17] <cafuego> thiemster: Yes-ish, but I have no experience with them.
[05:18] <thiemster> xinx: you could search google for finding tools to recover deleted partions, but they may not work very well
[05:18] <quest23> yeh xinx..there is ways to get those file...unfortunatley i dont know how..dont stress out yet
[05:18] <gamerdude> i figured with over 1k peeps here someone would be familiar with xchat scripts haha
[05:18] <nickrud> tantric132: it's saying it's the 3d partition,  sda3  . Grub counts partitions starting at 0
[05:18] <xinx> omg
[05:18] <BagelMaster> It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how?
[05:18] <badkitty> xinx: I saw one the other day.. and i also think knoppix live boot CD has some good tools on it
[05:18] <xinx> at least the folder mydocuments
[05:18] <xinx> is all I care about the rest its ok
[05:18] <xinx> :S
[05:18] <mrb88> Anyone able to help me with a network driver issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144 is my thread.
[05:18] <badkitty> xinx: is the system just not booting it, not finding the parition or what
[05:19] <thiemster> xinx: when you installed linux, did you manually or automatically partition it?
[05:19] <cafuego> xinx: linux will have not overwritten ALL data, only some parts. So you may be lucky and able to recovery a fair bit.
[05:19] <tantric132> nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d75462d3 anything you see out of the norm?
[05:19] <cafuego> badkitty: From what I can tell, there is no Windows partition.
[05:19] <nickrud> tantric132: delete the <newlines> , that was to tell you to put them on new lines ;)
[05:19] <badkitty> cafuego: Ohhhh....yah thats not fun.. how did you install ubuntu?
[05:19] <tantric132> hahaha mybad
[05:20] <xinx> I put the cd and install it from boot
[05:20] <xsnoopyx> hey does  anyone here know how to connect and transfer files from hd while on livecd to a windows share ?
[05:20] <cometin> #biblioteca
[05:20] <tantric132> nickrud, also look at the on /dev/sda....should it be sda1?
[05:20] <cafuego> xsnoopyx: Mount the hd and the windows share, then copy.
[05:20] <quest23> i should have prompt you to choose auto or manual partition
[05:20] <thiemster> xsnoopyx: when i use ubuntu live cd, it always has the main hard drive as a drive listed on it
[05:20] <badkitty> xinx: Yeah but did you install only to the partition you made for it or did you select guided use entire disk?
[05:20] <thiemster> xsnoopyx: it's already mounted
[05:21] <xinx> to share
[05:21] <xsnoopyx> sorry, the hd will mount, but the share will not mount!
[05:21] <xinx> and I took 50 gb I remember
[05:21] <nickrud> tantric132: that's only a comment, it has no effect on setup. Any line that starts with a # is a comment
[05:21] <graelb> my TTY's in ubuntu don't work... Nvidia video card, on a laptop, running the newest nvidia drivers installed with the restricted driver manager...
[05:21] <graelb>  Don't work =  ctrl+alt+F1 drops to a "TTY" which works, but i can't see anything on the screen. I can log in, and run commands, but i'm doing it all blind
[05:21] <NigelS_> xinx: it looks like you made a 50gb partition at the start of your hd
[05:21] <thiemster> xnoopyx: sorry, i don't know too much about windows shares. good luck
[05:21] <xsnoopyx> thanks
[05:21] <xinx> yes I
[05:21] <xsnoopyx> anyone good with windows shares ? and the livecd?
[05:21] <BagelMaster> It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how?
[05:21] <xinx> the option was partition from the begining
[05:21] <tantric132> duh! i'm an idiot. ok nickrud i'm going to try it. if I don't return with in 5 mins, SUCCESS! if I do, then you know...haha
[05:21] <thiemster> xinx: ooh, bad choice
[05:22] <NigelS_> xinx: which would be where you windows partition was presumably?
[05:22] <xinx> and I noticed that but I didnt know what to choose
[05:22] <quest23> yeh...you should have did a manual....and used up free space...
[05:22] <xinx> omg
[05:22] <nickrud> tantric132: don't leave me hanging ;)
[05:22] <quest23> you probly wrote over your windows os
[05:22] <badkitty> xinx: Im guessing you installed over your windows partition
[05:22] <tantric132> nickrud, thanks for the help! ill be back regardless because I need to ask you of one more simple thing =D
[05:22] <NigelS_> xinx: if you don't understand something, it's a bad idea to choose to do it - especially if you're worried about losing data
[05:22] <xinx> but it didnt say anything about format the drive
[05:22] <badkitty> xinx in that case, your lucky that windows is so bloated, you may be able to recover some of your files
[05:22] <xinx> omg
[05:23] <badkitty> xinx: You should have backed the data up on your shiny new drive before you went ahead with the install
[05:23] <quest23> yup
[05:23] <badkitty> xinx: I suggest getting a recovery disk somewhere very soon
[05:23] <xinx> well I tried to have ubuntu because of a friend told me is a good OS and to try it also I wanted to learn more about linux
[05:23] <thiemster> xinx: you should've used a live cd
[05:23] <NigelS_> xinx: if you tear up the partition table it will kind of have the effect of losing it even if it doesn't mention the word format
[05:23] <badkitty> xinx: And do not install anything else until you get your files recovered as much as you can
[05:24] <xinx> badkitty recovery disk ?
[05:24] <badkitty> xinx: It is a great OS, I finally got rid of my dual boot system, and soley use ubuntu now
[05:24] <wassa> hey.. im trying to follow some instructions.. i get this error You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm' for the 384 MB of QEMU virtual RAM.
[05:24] <wassa> To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root:
[05:24] <wassa> umount /dev/shm
[05:25] <wassa> can someone explain what it means
[05:25] <xinx> I can stay on ubuntu as long I can get those files
[05:25] <xinx> are contacts and important data
[05:25] <xinx> like office files
[05:25] <badkitty> xinx: Yah you should look into some programs that can do recovery.. your files may not be erased, but the 'pointers' to them are missing.Recovery software digs beyond the pointers and extracts the raw files and lets you recover them
[05:25] <NigelS_> we feel for you but it doesn't look good...there are tools for data recovery but there's a danger it was already overwritten by the install
[05:25] <thiemster> xinx: try http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1
[05:25] <xinx> excel word etc,..
[05:26] <xinx> ok
[05:26] <xinx> thank you ill try that website
[05:26] <thiemster> xinx: i saw it on a forum, but haven't used it
[05:26] <badkitty> thiemster: hmm sounds interesting i wanna take a peek at that site too
[05:27] <xhhux> hello
[05:27] <b4l74z4r> i want to create a dual boot, what would be easiest; install windows xp or ubuntu first?
[05:27] <badkitty> thiemster: Its a command line interface, maybe he would like a graphical interface
[05:27] <squidly> b4l74z4r: install windows first
[05:27] <genii> XP first
[05:27] <xinx> how can I use iso files on linux? like on windows?
[05:27] <badkitty> XP first for sure
[05:27] <b4l74z4r> ok
[05:27] <genii> !iso
[05:27] <badkitty> xinx get a program called gmount-iso
[05:27] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[05:27] <squidly> just make sure you leave room for you linux partisions
[05:27] <thiemster> xinx: place it on a cd, then boot off the cd
[05:28] <xinx> like powerIso?
[05:28] <xinx> ok
[05:28] <thiemster> xinx: i think there's a tool already installed
[05:28] <gamerdude> xink: you might also want to take a look at these instructions to confirm wether windows is still there http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/12/23/ubrescue/
[05:28] <mrb88> Anyone know how to use "ifup" to point to a certain network module?
[05:28] <goodman> hi all
[05:28] <goodman> >
[05:28] <xinx> ok
[05:28] <xhhux> hi, im new
[05:28] <badkitty> xinx: You can do it from command line, but gmount is also a good program to use from graphical interface
[05:28] <tanubis_> mrb88 network device?
[05:28] <BagelMaster> It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how?
[05:28] <gamerdude> xinx: if it's still in tact, those directions will help you recover it
[05:28] <mrb88> eth0 should be going to vmxnet
[05:28] <goodman> how  can open xp in ubuntu
[05:29] <thiemster> badkitty: i think gmount may be part of the website i recommended
[05:29] <mrb88> tanubis_ - how would I set that? Security update borked it.
[05:29] <astro76> BagelMaster: no you can't use an ebuild
[05:29] <thiemster> badkitty: nevermind, forget that
[05:29] <squidly> ok could someone tell me why a drive keeps getting picked up as a raid device wevery time I reboot?
[05:29] <xinx> im reading
[05:29] <soldats> BagelMaster: the gentoo wiki should have a tar.gz
[05:29] <xinx> ill follow everything as it says
[05:29] <tanubis_> mrb88 typically I just use ifup / ifdown <device> after using ifconfig <device> to configure how I want it to connect
[05:29] <CoasterMaster> has the recent local root exploit in been patched for Ubuntu?
[05:29] <tanubis_> I usually use wireless though
[05:30] <mrb88> tanubiis_ what's ifconfig device
[05:30] <gamerdude> xinx: worse case scenario you can't recover it - best = you get it all back ;)
[05:30] <BagelMaster> astro76 soldats: Not that I can find :/ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Lexmark_Printers
[05:30]  * BagelMaster shudders... Lexmark
[05:30] <badkitty> hah
[05:30] <badkitty> epson ftw
[05:30] <badkitty> hehe
[05:30] <soldats> i think lexmark is completely unsupported in ubuntu right?
[05:31] <tanubis_> mrb88 it lets you play with how you're connecting that device.  if you just hit ifconfig eth0, for example, it shows you the settings you're using
[05:31] <BagelMaster> Yea, that's why you have to go in and do the drivers yourself
[05:31] <badkitty> gamerdude: haha that is a pretty wide range of options
[05:31] <Madpilot> soldats, not completely. Lexmark's Linux support is pretty bad, though
[05:31] <soldats> ahh
[05:31] <mrb88> tanubis_ I see - how can I tell what kernel module it's using?
[05:31] <squidly> soldats: lexmark optera are supported but they are very expensive.. the other ones are winprinters
[05:31] <badkitty> gamerdude: Thats like... worst case scenario the tumor eats your face and you die.. best case.. it just dissappears
[05:31] <Madpilot> soldats, buy HP, basically every HP printer works on LInux
[05:31] <gamerdude> badkitty: lmao sometimes that's how life is
[05:32] <badkitty> gamerdude: sadley yes
[05:32] <tanubis_> mrb88 not sure...  what exactly is it you're trying to do with your network connection?
[05:32] <tantric132> nickrud, ya there?
[05:32] <nickrud> yup
[05:33] <mrb88> tanubis_ Somehow my network got messed up with the kernel update. Trying to set it back to what it should be. Not sure how.
[05:33] <mrb88> tanubis_ I made a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144
[05:33] <talcite> hey guys, is the sqlite3 package in the repos compiled with threadsafe?
[05:33] <stroyan> squidly: The kernel can autodetect a RAID superblock on a device.  You might be able to stop that with the mdadm command and --zero-superblock.  Be careful where you point that thing. ;-)
[05:33] <tantric132> Error 11: Unrecognized device string. let me get what is currently in there pasted and ill send you link
[05:33] <tanubis_> mrb88 reading it now
[05:33] <soldats> BagelMaster: sorry if i booted into my gentoo i think i could have got the source for it
[05:33] <gamerdude> badkitty: at least now he's got options
[05:33] <BagelMaster> Soldats, Ah, thank you very much.
[05:33] <squidly> stroyan: yea I dont wanna lose the data. If I use fdisk I can sync the disk and get it
[05:33] <squidly> I think I may just do that
[05:34] <talcite> does anyone know if the sqlite3 in the repos are compiled with threadsafe? or if there's any way to find out if it is?
[05:34] <tantric132> nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d12785b89
[05:34] <quest23> *****xinx**** check your pm
[05:34] <Xabriel> I'm having trouble getting gutsy to update, or install anything. It finds new updates, but when I click install, all it does is search for updates  again and asks me if I want to install them.
[05:34] <badkitty> gamerdude: very tryue.. i hope he can get his stuff back.. any one who uses windows.. can you please use bartPE and make a disk and use the plugins from runtimesoftware... do yourself a favor!
[05:34] <Xabriel> and when I try to install something, I get a random error
[05:34] <soldats> BagelMaster: i might be able to do it tomorrow?
[05:34] <gamerdude> aye true, also easyBCD is a saint
[05:35] <badkitty> Xabriel: Is this from the GUI?
[05:35] <tantric132> nickrud, should map be between makeactive and chainloader or does that not matter?
[05:35] <BagelMaster> Soldats, no problem
[05:35] <nickrud> tantric132: no, that's where it normally goes
[05:35] <Xabriel> badkitty, yes
[05:35] <badkitty> Xabriel: Just for fun, try from the CLI
[05:35] <tantric132> nickrud, http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Windows_on_a_non-first_hard_disk
[05:35] <xinx> iso files can be mounted on usb flash drives?
[05:35] <xinx> or needs to be a cd?
[05:35] <mrb88> tanubis_ thoughts?
[05:35] <BagelMaster> Soldats: I'll query you an email address, is that ok?
[05:35] <NigelS_> mrb88: you want a particular card to always use a particular interface/name? i.e. eth0, eth1? you can set these in /etc/iftab
[05:35] <Xabriel> badkitty, you'll probably have to walk me through it
[05:35] <quest23> they can be mounted virtually
[05:36] <badkitty> Xabriel: No problem open a terminal
[05:36] <soldats> BagelMaster: sure
[05:36] <mrb88> NigelS_ Right, it should be eth0. How can I set that?
[05:36] <tanubis_> mrb88 just running the update to the latest kernel now, watching what it's doing.
[05:36] <chaosrl> when i use "aptitude search" in command, what does a "v" mean in the left hand column?
[05:36] <quest23> no need to to put on cd
[05:36] <nickrud> tantric132: hermanzone has good info, try his
[05:36] <greencookie> how do you open new screen with the 'screen' command?
[05:36] <NigelS_> mrb88: see that file - you select on MAC addr
[05:36] <Xabriel> badkitty, ok
[05:36] <NigelS_> greencookie: ctrl-a c
[05:36] <NigelS_> greencookie: press ctrl-? for full options
[05:36] <badkitty> Xabriel: ok now type this: sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:37] <badkitty> Xabriel: what does it do?
[05:37] <mrb88> NigelS I do not see iftab in /etc/
[05:37] <greencookie> NigelS_: thanks a lot bud
[05:37] <NigelS_> greencookie: ctrl-a ? that is
[05:37] <Xabriel> badkitty, hmm, it's saying "must be setuid root"
[05:37] <greencookie> yeah I forgot.. I'm trying to go full text
[05:37] <greencookie> thnx
[05:37] <Xabriel> badkitty, it used to ask for my password
[05:37] <badkitty> Xabriel: hmm anyone know what that means?
[05:37] <tantric132> nickrud, i shall return! one other question, each time I save menu.lst I always run sudo update-grub....should I be doing that?
[05:37] <badkitty> Xabriel: you aren't running a root session are you
[05:38] <mrb88> NigelS_  - where would it be? I don't see a file called iftab inside /etc/.
[05:38] <Xabriel> badkitty, no
[05:38] <gamerdude> welp i'm outta here all - back to my normal server heh tc
[05:38] <badkitty> Xabriel: Hmm I dont know offhand what that means
[05:38] <quest23> sudo should cover that....it should still work
[05:38] <quest23> try selecting only one update at a time
[05:38] <stroyan> Xabriel: What does   ls -l /usr/bin/sudo    report?
[05:38] <badkitty> Xabriel: Did yu try to reboot (windows fix lol)
[05:38] <nickrud> tantric132: not necessary, but since your windows stanza is outside the automagic stuff it has no effect
[05:39] <Xabriel> badkitty, lol yea
[05:39] <badkitty> stroyan: Hey man ;-)
[05:39] <sendoh_shih> ubuntu
[05:39] <tantric132> haha ok
[05:39] <tantric132> brb
[05:39] <badkitty> Xabriel: ^^ what stroyan said, hes smarter than me
[05:39] <cometin> someone URANTIA?
[05:40] <CVD-PR> q paso aqui
[05:40] <CVD-PR> ?
[05:40] <Xabriel> stroyan, -rwxr-xr-x l
[05:40] <Starnestommy> Xabriel: it should be -rwsr-xr-x
[05:41] <stroyan> Xabriel:   There could be a problem there.  :-(   You probably need to reboot into recovery mode to fix the permissions.  And how did it get that way????
[05:41] <bullgard4> In Ubuntu there is no DEB program package 'kernel-source'. Still, can one speak about a 'kernel source' in Ubuntu? (See http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/kernel-source.htm)
[05:41] <xinx> guys look  http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4149/screenshotad6.png
[05:41] <mrb88> Tanubis I am not yet registered so I can't reply to your PM.
[05:41] <xinx> is on 50 GB I dont see the other 200 gb
[05:41] <tantric132> nickrud, i know your getting tired of this but...any last ideas? still unrecognized device string
[05:41] <NigelS_> mrb88: actually, that's not used any more i think - you can add a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[05:41] <Starnestommy> Xabriel: go into recovery mode and do chmod +s /usr/bin/sudo
[05:41] <Xabriel> stroyan, absolutely no clue, I set this laptop up for a friend a month or two ago
[05:41] <NigelS_> mrb88: there's prob a nice frontend to this however
[05:42] <quest23> !help
[05:42] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:42] <stroyan> Xabriel: The ownership on sudo should be root and group root
[05:42] <Xabriel> starnestommy, ok
[05:42] <badkitty> anyone know of a good tutorial on how to use a proxy in firefox.. anyone know anything about TOR?
[05:42] <Tanubis> mrb88 public then?
[05:42] <mrb88> Tanubis - it is not functioning and there's the exclamation point next to the network icon.
[05:42] <xinx> badkitty http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4149/screenshotad6.png
[05:42] <soldats> badkitty: tor is pretty good
[05:42] <mrb88> NigelS_ - looking for it, what would I need to change?
[05:43] <Tanubis> mrb88 is it a wireless device?
[05:43] <mrb88> It's a network device that links my virtual ubuntu pc to my host pc
[05:43] <john> hello, I just did a system update with the software update tool and when I rebooted it seems like X.org failed to boot properly and I am stuck in low graphics mode. Where can I begin to troubleshoot
[05:43] <mrb88> Outside network doesn't even matter at the point of this driver, Tanubis
[05:43] <nickrud> tantric132: get out your XP disk, and try to boot windows with that.
[05:43] <Xabriel> starnestommy, ok, done. Should I reboot an try to update?
[05:43] <badkitty> soldats: Is that what tor is used for??
[05:44] <NigelS_> mrb88: ah, I thought you were talking about physical hw, not sure its the same thing then - the description of that file is in the udev manpage or you can follow the existing format
[05:44] <soldats> badkitty: or privoxy but if you use tor you should use it with privoxy anyways tor is just an onion router relay and privoxy is the proxy which tor uses
[05:44] <Tanubis> mrb88 Ok, I just wasn't sure as I thought the same as NigelS_
[05:44] <NigelS_> mrb88: that is to say use the MAC addr and give it a name
[05:44] <john> what is the dpkg-reconfigure command for X server?
[05:44] <Xabriel> what exactly is a tor?
[05:44] <mrb88> NigelS_ and Tanubis - the module name in the kernel is vmxnet. Not sure how to find its mac address and reset eth0.
[05:44] <badkitty> soldats: mmm onions.. I can only imagine what that means lol...
[05:44] <astro76> !xconfig | john
[05:44] <ubotu> john: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes
[05:44] <soldats> Xabriel: an onion router relay
[05:44] <mrb88> NigelS_ and Tanubis - how do I find out what module it's currently using?
[05:45] <soldats> lol
[05:45] <NigelS_> mrb88: why does that matter?
[05:45] <john> thanks astro76
[05:45] <xinx> hey can someone help me to install that program please ?
[05:45] <mrb88> NigelS_ Because it's not working?
[05:45] <ouellettesr> does anyone know of a food terminal besides xterm or terminal the one that comes with gnome?
[05:45] <badkitty> soldats: I am seeing a tutorial on how to install them.. is there extra configurations I need to do with all my clients that access the network?
[05:45] <NigelS_> mrb88: what's running your vitual software? sounds like it could be an issue with that
[05:45] <ouellettesr> lol good*
[05:45] <Xabriel> soldats, so basically when I use something like torpark, I'm just routing my self through one or more  servers?
[05:46] <soldats> ouellettesr: you might have Eterm but im not sure
[05:46] <NigelS_> mrb88: from your description I thought you had a problem with physical hw not having the desired name
[05:46] <mrb88> NigelS_ - It's VMware Workstation 6
[05:46] <stroyan> ouellettesr: So you don't want bananaterm then?
[05:46] <soldats> badkitty: theres pretty good documentation on the TOR site as well as the privoxy site. also they come with a README thats really good for that
[05:46] <Xabriel> soldats, I mean, is it basically the same thing as using a proxy?
[05:46] <NigelS_> Xabriel: tor is an anonymising network designed to obfuscate the origins of a request by sending it through multiple encrypted "nodes"
[05:47] <ouellettesr> stroyan, no i dont like bananas
[05:47] <ouellettesr> :P
[05:47] <Blue_Sassley> how can I tell if a deamon I installed is running?
[05:47] <Xabriel> so, sort of like going through a proxy, but much more layered and secure
[05:47] <NigelS_> mrb88: check the help for VMWare 6 I guess - certainly what i've told you is the way to assign a network interface name to a particular card
[05:47] <mrb88> NigelS_ - it's not showing up as a network device when I mouse over the network icon, and yet eth0 definitely exists. It's not "up" though
[05:47] <dori>  I'm trying to test the new beta alongside <IP_ADDRESS> on ubuntu feisty, but the old version starts instead, is there something I need to do?
[05:47] <soldats> Xabriel: tor basically connects you through multiple servers worldwide and when your browser or app reaches the destination it reaches it from the exit node on a tor server
[05:48] <Tanubis> mrb88 not sure why you're looking for it, but If you use ifconfig eth0 ,  the MAC address of the device should show up has HWaddr on the first line
[05:48] <scragar> how can I tell what program keeps accessing my hard drive? about once every 2 hours I get a huge amount of access for about 10 secs...
[05:48] <dori> I'm running /opt/firefox3b3/firefox by the way, not the old executable
[05:48] <Xabriel> soldats, cool
[05:48] <stroyan> Blue_Sassley: You could use ps or pgrep to look for the daemon.
[05:49] <NigelS_> Xabriel: not really like a proxy no - a proxy doesn't really anonymise any traffic it just gives you an alternative presence, whereas tor completely removes traces of the origins of a request which will just seem to come from an exit node
[05:49] <tantric132> nickrud, thanks for the help. I know what I'm going to do!
[05:49] <nickrud> tantric132: what's that?
[05:49] <chaosrl> has anyone installed an lc-3 simulator in gutsy?
[05:49] <ouellettesr> how can i get the output of a command into a txt file, normally i would do "command > out.txt" but i have to kill the process cause it never ends
[05:50] <tantric132> nickrud, I'm going to reinstall everything(for the third and final time). http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46003&highlight=dual+boot+sata
[05:50] <badkitty> soldats: I guess I was justing asking the basic question.. I wanted an overall feel for how it works explained in a way I can understand easily ... Is it something i can connect to or not connect to if I want... and of course it wouldn't any impact on local LAN settings right? If I was running say a home web server.. would this need to be turned off?
[05:50] <soldats> ouellettesr: do man cat in a terminal
[05:50] <NigelS_> mrb88: what's the hardware? should it work in vmware? if so then it ought have loaded the module for it (see lsmod for a list of running modules) - then ifconfig can configure an interface, ifconfig <name> <ip addr> assigns an ip addr
[05:50] <ouellettesr> soldats im not using cat though
[05:50] <tantric132> nickrud, but before I do this, I need to print these instructions...except, my printer won't print. it says under printers that its there bbut I don't guess the driver is installed. how do I get the drivers? Its a dell printer/scanner
[05:50] <Xabriel> starnestommy: code executed without any errors popping up, but I still can't get the updates
[05:50] <mrb88> NigelS_ It was working pre-Ubuntu update. The hardware itself is just wired ethernet. The network will show up if I'm connected to the internet or not, the driver is just my connection between the host pc and the virtual PC. It definitely has works.
