[18:04] <sjkwizard> kakoonia:part?? i don't understand
[18:04] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Guys I plugged my iPod on Gutsy and now it shows the "Do not disconnect" message, but it wasn't mounted automatically. How can I manually mount it?
[18:04] <adorablepuppy> Ok, my brother did do-release-upgrade and it says no new releases found. So he's halfway between Gusty and Fiesty. How can I fix it?
[18:04] <neumind> jonasj,  you nick is name - jonas
[18:04] <jafonso> is it normal that after an installation of ubuntu feisty, synaptics package manager doesn't show in the system -> administration menu?

[18:05] <neumind> jonasj,  cool
[18:05] <VSpike> nicolah: rsync is probably the thing, but it's command line. there may be gui front ends for it
[18:05] <jonasj> jonasj: (and that's where i am)
[18:05] <VSpike> nicolah: the locations are on the same system?
[18:06] <danix> hola

[18:07] <kakoonia> sjkwizard: did it gave you an option to choose a preconfiguration option after you installed the packages?
[18:07] <sinisterben> pokkie I see ;)

[18:08] <kwtm> Sorry, anyone know: Where can I get Kubuntu 7.10 CD's over a torrent?  I can only find torrents for the DVD version.
[18:08] <sinisterben> spriizha, wine should work

[18:09] <Barbarello> How to disable sudo password check at every set ups running under file manager?
[18:09] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Kugra_: Ok, that is mount basic syntax, but I'm a total newbie on mount issues, so how can I guess how to mount the iPod
[18:09] <cico> VSpike: why did they bring them in Ubuntu?
[18:09] <adorablepuppy> My brother tried to upgrade to Gusty and somewhere along the line it messed up. But do-release-upgrade says there are no new updates and the update manager says his system is all updated. His about ubuntu says it's on Fiesty. And some of his packages are broken. How can I complete the upgrade.
[18:09] <spriizha> take

[18:10] <riaal> |Bryan|, hold on, my nick is not registerd
[18:10] <|Bryan|> neither is mine
[18:11] <snake> is there something like quickplay for ubuntu ????
[18:11] <VSpike> nicolah: then i think "rsync -avu --delete <src> <dst>" will do it, but double check it
[18:11] <VSpike> nicolah: you can always use --dry-run to check what it would do
[18:11] <riaal> |Bryan|, I will reconnect. brb
[18:11] <spriizha> rly nobondy dont have someboady any ideas - like i got laptop, but when i plug in my headphone, its still playing in the laptop :((
[18:11] <VSpike> nicolah: be careful with rsync though, it's powerful, especially with --delete
[18:11] <|Bryan|> you don't need to
[18:11] <|Bryan|> hm
[18:12] <josh04>  Hey, can anyone help me: If I set vga=795 in menu.lst, I get  "Out of range" on my moniter, which is native 1280x1024. X  works fine at that resolution. Any ideas?
[18:12] <Sparkizzy> is there a member of LGF here?
[18:12] <nicolah> VSpike: that will do the job whenever I run it, what about a tool that would monitor the original folder and copy/delete files from/to the mirror folder whenever it's needed ?
[18:12] <riaal> |Bryan|, okey, now pm works
[18:12] <whyamye> what script is run when I hit the "suspend" key? Apparently more than /etc/acpi/sleep.sh...
[18:12] <sudobash> josh are you refering to refresh rate?
[18:12] <VSpike> nicolah: you could run it in a cron job
[18:12] <Joshooa> how do I get permissions to add stuff to a folder?
[18:13] <sudobash> chmod
[18:13] <sudobash> man chmod
[18:13] <stefg> !permissions | Joshooa
[18:13] <LjL> Joshooa: why don't you restrain yourself to adding stuff only to your /home folder, like you're supposed to? why do you need to add stuff anywhere else?
[18:13] <ubotu> Joshooa: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[18:13] <JEFFmasterFLEX> Joshooa:  you can open a nautilus session with sudo and change the folder permission by right clicking on the folder
[18:13] <sudobash> !chmod Joshooa
[18:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chmod joshooa - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[18:14] <ubotu> cico: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[18:14] <Joshooa> Maybe I'm doing it wrong but the folders are still locked
[18:14] <[mag]> How is the status of AMD64 ubuntu? Is it still slower for audio/video codecs that the 32 bit version? (Last I tried was many years ago...)
[18:14] <josh04> sudobash: Possibly. The moniter won't tell me anything except "Out of range", but seeing as it supports the resolution and colour range that seems likely. How would I set the refresh rate for the framebuffer?
[18:14] <cico> LjL: I was telling that to Joshooa
[18:14] <simen> when running compiz(with xgl) the screen goes black after a while when I'm watching a movie, why?
[18:14] <Dr_willis_> josh04,  could be the refresh rates are different.
[18:14] <LjL> cico: it had just been called a moment before
[18:14] <nicolah> thanks
[18:14] <black_13_> how is ubuntu able to a boot up process where it goes from splash to xorg with no text displayed?
[18:14] <josh04> Joshooa: sudo chmod -R josh04 .wine && chmod 777 .wine
[18:15] <cico> LjL: but that call for chmod was unsuccessful.
[18:15] <sudobash> or just chmod 777 "foldeR"
[18:15] <sudobash> sudo chmod 777 /folderhere/
[18:15] <LjL> cico: ?
[18:15] <cico> (11:44:04  IST) ubotu: Sorry, I don't know anything about chmod joshooa - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:15] <Joshooa> I did sudo chmod 777 folder and it didn't do anything
[18:15] <sinisterben> okay I feel like an idiot, but can anyone help me understand the install process for a xchat plugin?
[18:15] <josh04> Dr_willis: How would I change the refresh rate for that stage of the boot?
[18:15] <Yancho> what would be the command with sudo to shutdown instantly please?
[18:15] <LjL> cico: ah, yes, but [19:13:23] <stefg> !permissions | Joshooa -- also, why not use "!blah blah > nickname", and un-flood the channel?
[18:15] <stefg> black_13_: 'quiet splash' mutes kernel output and usplash covers the rest
[18:15] <sudobash> oh try
[18:15] <sudobash> sudo bash
[18:15] <sudobash> then chmod 777 folder
[18:16] <Dr_willis_> josh04,  that vga= thing has a lot of options. could try 'ask' and it should post a list of res/modes it can use.
[18:16] <VSpike> Yancho: sudo shutdown -h noew
[18:16] <LjL> sudobash, why are you giving such atrocious advice?
[18:16] <VSpike> Yancho: sudo shutdown -h now
[18:16] <Dr_willis_> josh04,  i always disalbe that stuff :) so good luck
[18:16] <sudobash> lol
[18:16] <cleaton> Yancho, try poweroff
[18:16] <sinisterben> "/ignore sudobash"
[18:16] <Yancho> VSpike and can u pass the password of su in the sudo command too ?
[18:16] <sudobash> cause im drunk off a antihistamine
[18:16] <sinisterben> :x
[18:16] <simen> when running compiz(with xgl) it seems some sort of power-saving feature kicks in after a while when watching a movie. How do I turn this off?
[18:17] <VSpike> Yancho: you probably want to edit sudoers to allow users to shutdown the machine
[18:17] <vincent_> subpixel font rendering is enabled by default in kubuntu 7.10 right?
[18:17] <stefg> LjL, b/c i think that reading the same factoids over and over will some day make people *really* read the faq :-)
[18:17] <Joshooa> I just want to put some Addons on World of Warcraft, it shouldn't be so hard!
[18:17] <bmidgley> is it true the OSS ATI x driver can't be used with googleearth?
[18:17] <josh04> Dr_willis: The values are only listed for resolution and colour range as far as I know, but I'll look
[18:17] <sudobash> yall are just scared someone will crash their linux box and have to start over! thats the point of being on linux learning what not to do
[18:17] <sudobash> from doing it
[18:17] <aaGpz> i nees some help in spanish.. there is a channel on spanish??
[18:17] <carpark> Dr_willis: i tried installing the game by copying the files but it didn't work: was I supposed to divide the files into folders for their respective cd's? while copying i replaced files that had the same name from the cd's so i'm wondering if that's why
[18:17] <Yancho> VSpike from where to check please? basically i want to write a php script to shell_exec a powerdown

[18:18] <austin_> i tried to install linux and in the boot screen it gives me an error like "cant find kernel linux"
[18:18] <austin_> something similar to that
[18:18] <VSpike> Yancho: google for sudoers.  you have fine control over who can do what, with or without password
[18:18] <sinisterben> TOUCHDOWN!@#!@#
[18:18] <kakoonia> sjkwizard: the freaking thing doesnt work!
[18:18] <sinisterben> mofos
[18:18] <LjL> sudobash, that's not the attitude we take in this channel. please give advice that avoids changing default behavior as much as possible, and if anything can be dangerous, state that when you give the advice. giving world write permissions to a directory (without even knowing which directory it is) is not a good suggestion
[18:18] <Dr_willis_> Spring Cleaning day!
[18:19] <ompaul> sinisterben ??
[18:19] <VSpike> Yancho: you will need to allow the user your phpscript runs as to do it
[18:19] <sudobash> lol
[18:19] <stefg> black_13_: to boot an .iso, or to boot a properly installed system ?
[18:19] <sinisterben> Sorry watching the game
[18:19] <Yancho> VSpike ow ok :|
[18:19] <Cyrus25801> compwiz18: sorry man i asked just now. what command do i use again to edit the grub menu
[18:19] <sudobash> this server got really up tight
[18:19] <VSpike> Yancho: it's a lot safer than embedding a root password in the script
[18:19] <kakoonia> sjkwizard: i have to get back to my studies budd.
[18:19] <sinisterben> I had to yell somewhere
[18:19] <nny> any reasonable way or even through CLI to manage wireless networks? right now my box always tries to connect to the neighbors AP first. My GF is alos having issues with an old WPA key on our network, can't seem to ditch the olde key.. seem to remember a file somewhere
[18:19] <sjkwizard> kakoonia:it's an hard work make it work!

[18:21] <daniele_982> Dr_willis_: problem with fn keys
[18:21] <sudobash> why should it matter what type of laptop it is? just ask the questions you have
[18:21] <Cyrus25801> what command do i use again to edit the grub menu
[18:21] <Dr_willis_> daniele_982,  i would say check the Ubuntu laptop forums for a start.
[18:21] <LjL> Cyrus25801: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:21] <LjL> Cyrus25801: careful.
[18:21] <daniele_982> Dr_willis_: i've seen and so i'm here

[18:22] <daniele_982> sudobash: up , problem with fn keys, doesn't work brigthness
[18:22] <VSpike> Yancho: ps aux maybe
[18:22] <LjL> !grub > Cyrus25801    (Cyrus25801, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:22] <skalca> any slovenian here
[18:22] <Joshooa> I thought if I changed one folder it would get the ones underneath it too but it didn't, I have to change each folder one at a time till I got down to the one I wanted but I THINK it should work now
[18:22] <[mag]> Bump. How is the status of AMD64 ubuntu? Is it still slower for audio/video codecs that the 32 bit version? (Last I tried was many years ago...) (Tried searching the net to no avail :( )
[18:22] <sudobash> daniele does it work when you are booting or in bios?
[18:22] <Q_Continuum> I want to migrate this user account over to another machine - what's the proper rsync command I should use to get the whole profile over?
[18:22] <Cyrus25801> LjL: thanx
[18:23] <Ashfire908> when i try to mount an nfs drive, it says "Permission denied", yet i set the hosting computer to allow connections for that computer
[18:23] <nny> Q_Continuum: just do the entire user directory
[18:23] <daniele_982> sudobash: boot??? fn keys???
[18:23] <Yancho> VSpike its not there :S there is no php
[18:23] <daniele_982> sudobash: fn-F5 and fn-F6??
[18:23] <sd32> I downloaded the xubuntu and loaded the live cd but the desktop has only icons with no menu bar is this normal?

[18:23] <RoRza> I am trying to install NetBeans  using the add and/remove but the software its not there
[18:24] <RoRza> any way of locating it ?
[18:24] <sudobash> daniele your talking about increasing/decreasing contrast correct?
[18:24] <Ashfire908> what do i do?
[18:24] <daniele_982> sudobash: yes
[18:24] <sudobash> levander opera
[18:24] <stefg> [mag]: usually you still need a 32bit chroot for web multimedia (flash,wmv9) on 64bit installs. For desktop (as opposed to a server) use 32bit is usually the version to use, even on 64bit capable cpus
[18:24] <sudobash> yeah can you adjust the contrast when your are in cmos?
[18:24] <sudobash> cmos setup
[18:25] <[mag]> stefg: Too bad :( Thanks! :)
[18:25] <RoRza> is this means that its not in the repository  ?
[18:25] <RoRza> I am trying to install NetBeans  using the add and/remove but the software its not there
[18:25] <RoRza> is this means that its not in the repository  ?

[18:25] <nny> anyone?
[18:25] <sudobash> when you first start the computer you will hit either delete, f1/f11 maybe f12 to enter into BIOS/CMOS setup
[18:25] <Jimdb> how do we know if ubuntu's kernel was compiled as a low latency kernel?
[18:26] <sudobash> check to see if the contrast will work in there
[18:26] <RoRza> can I get some help ....pls
[18:26] <levander> sudobash: Doesn't look like I can install Opera from the Canonical repositories.
[18:26] <RoRza> I am trying to install NetBeans  using the add and/remove but the software its not there
[18:26] <Ashfire908> how do i mount a nfs drive?
[18:26] <riaal> is there any other way to see the different accesses to a file then ls -l?
[18:26] <sudobash> if it does it is the OS you have... if not its either you dont have function keys turned on, your contrast doesnt work, or worse case your backlight is out
[18:26] <RoRza> is there another way of doing it ??
[18:26] <josh04>  Hey, can anyone help me: If I set vga=795 in menu.lst, I get
[18:26] <josh04>                 "Out of range" on my moniter, which is native 1280x1024. X
[18:26] <Jimdb> ashfire908:  in your fstab file or using "mount" .  I don't know the parameters
[18:26] <RoRza> I am trying to install NetBeans  using the add and/remove but the software its not there
[18:26] <josh04>                 works fine at that resolution. Any ideas?
[18:26] <JEFFmasterFLEX> RoRza:  you are going to have to install it manually. download the bin installer from SUN
[18:27] <Q_Continuum> nny - but what options should I use? 'rsync -r /home user@shuttle:/home' ? (Going from feisty->Gutsy, as well as from one machine to another)
[18:27] <daniele_982> sudobash: with vista it works....according to you the problem is fn keys? if I change fn with ctrl for example it works?
[18:27] <josh04> bollocks. sorry, copy/paste messed up
[18:27] <levander> Ashfire908: try nfsmount
[18:27] <RoRza> Jeff ; thanx
[18:27] <Ashfire908> i know the program!
[18:27] <Ashfire908> but how do i set the settings?
[18:27] <sudobash> josh04 will it let you display 1280x1024?
[18:27] <Jimdb> the new linux client for ETQW says that it must be compiled with the low latency kernel.  How do I determine if the default ubuntu kernel was compiled as a low latency kernel?
[18:28] <riaal> Is ls -l the only way to see file rights?
[18:28] <sinisterben> Can I program C# on Gnome?
[18:28] <JEFFmasterFLEX> Jimdb:  it isn't. ubuntu studio has a low latency kernel by default. add their repos and install their kernel
[18:28] <josh04> sudobash: I can display 1280x1024 fine in X, but not in the boot screen
[18:28] <Jimdb> let me revise that:  the new ETQW client for Linux states the linux kernel must be compiled as a low latency kernel.
[18:28] <generalhooha> join #waffles.fm
[18:28] <romanapub> hi everybody
[18:28] <redlounge_> hi everyone, how can i remove an installed ati driver and control panel?
[18:28] <kotek> co słychać
[18:28] <stefg> c01100011: i think the drive is physically overwritten, so nothing to rescue. you could try testdisk, tho
[18:28] <scguy318> Jimdb: it's not, the low latency kernel is in repos tho
[18:28] <sudobash> C# was made by Micro$oft
[18:28] <Jimdb> jeffmasterflex:  i hear you.
[18:28] <sd32> xubunntu is broken
[18:28] <daniele_982> sudobash: and why fn -f2 (mute) works?? it's partially supported fn keys...
[18:28] <ompaul> Jimdb, it does not you need to join #ubuntustudio and check in there
[18:28] <Q_Continuum> C# = Mono
[18:29] <stefg> !info testdisk | c01100011
[18:29] <ubotu> c01100011: testdisk: Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.6-1 (gutsy), package size 668 kB, installed size 2624 kB
[18:29] <ompaul> sd32, chat with the people in #xubuntu
[18:29] <sinisterben> sudobash, the question still stands, I am in C# in school
[18:29] <dansku> what program do I use to burn .cdr dvd images?
[18:29] <Jimdb> let me see how this runs on an athlon x2 6000+ before I do that.
[18:29] <sd32> ompaul, theres nobody responding in there
[18:29] <romanapub> am  on ubuntu gutsy
[18:29] <Megaqwerty> For some reason, when I am doing DirectIM in pidgin, I can view images sent to me, but the person I'm talking to can't see the images I send. Any ideas as to why?
[18:29] <sudobash> daniele then you probably have a problem with backlight
[18:29] <Seveas> sinisterben, yes you can -- mono can run it and monodevlop is a development environment supporting mono
[18:29] <sinisterben> Seveas,  thanks
[18:29] <sudobash> check in CMOS if you can adjust contrast
[18:29] <romanapub> an am unable to connect to the lmcal network
[18:29] <nny> Q_Continuum: more like rsync -ra /home/[user] user@[ipADDRESS]:/home/
[18:30] <sudobash> i have heard somewhere that c# was possible in linux
[18:30] <daniele_982> sudobash: ok !!!! and now i can solve? i don't want change in cmos
[18:30] <scguy318> Jimdb: are you sure you really have to compile?
[18:30] <nny> Q_Continuum: a is a perfect mirror of perms, etc
[18:30] <daniele_982> sudobash: do you have a sony-laptop??
[18:30] <sudobash> I have worked on many
[18:30] <nny> Q_Continuum: are you cronning this?
[18:30] <sudobash> the only good thing about them is that their screens are strong
[18:31] <riaal> is there some other way then ls -l to view file rights?
[18:31] <sudobash> and i didnt say backlight
[18:31] <Q_Continuum> nny: No, its a one-time run.
[18:31] <JEFFmasterFLEX> riaal:  you can use mc if you have it installed
[18:31] <nny> Q_Continuum: ok that shoudl work then, and preserve permissions, tiem stamps, etc
[18:31] <nny> tiem*
[18:31] <nny> gah time* :)
[18:31] <Megaqwerty> For some reason, when I am doing DirectIM in pidgin, I can view images sent to me, but the person I'm talking to can't see the images I send. Any ideas as to why?
[18:31] <Q_Continuum> primarily as a backup and way for me to see how my data will run in Gutsy, then upgrade the feisty machine.
[18:31] <sudobash> you dont have to change the cmos i simply said check and see if you can adjust the contrast when you are in setup
[18:31] <nny> Q_Continuum: understood
[18:32] <sd32> I have a question about xubuntu, but theres nobody responding in that chat so i came in here
[18:32] <sudobash> with the fn key combo
[18:32] <sudobash> whatever it is for your model
[18:32] <Papageno> Simple question: how would I (probably with sed) remove every line from a multi-line text files that contains a certain string of characters?
[18:32] <sudobash> write a c++ program to do it
[18:32] <c01100011> stefg, use it to search for lost partitions ?
[18:32] <LjL> Papageno: grep -v "string" filename
[18:32] <sudobash> or pay me and i will write one for you
[18:32] <dansku> what program do I use to burn .cdr dvd images?
[18:32] <Seveas> Papageno, grep -v 'thestring' < thefile | sponge thefile
[18:33] <LjL> Papageno: (where that string is actually a regexp, unless you give it the "string" option which i don't remember the syntax of)
[18:33] <LjL> sponge... nice
[18:33] <Seveas> sudobash, be normal in here
[18:33] <Papageno> What does sponge do?
[18:33] <leo_away> dansku: brasero, k3b... there are many
[18:33] <sudobash> normal? who are you to say whats normal?
[18:33] <LjL> Papageno: "man sponge" ;)
[18:33] <Seveas> Papageno, apt-get install moreutils; man sponge
[18:33] <stefg> c01100011: yes. but as i see it you have physically overwrtitten the partition table and any partition headers with data, so i don't think there's much hope
[18:33] <pramz> ouch Komodo IDE is $300 :(
[18:34] <Seveas> sudobash, IRC guidelines say what's normal
[18:34] <Seveas> !guidelines > sudobash
[18:34] <c01100011> stefg, the drive was mounted at the time
[18:34] <sudobash> did you expect me to read that?
[18:34] <Ashfire908> !nfs
[18:34] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[18:34] <ompaul> sudobash, yes
[18:34] <Seveas> sudobash, yes, you are expected to follow the guidelines
[18:35] <stefg> c01100011: see what testdisk and possibly photorec can do for you, but if you have no backup you may be in trouble
[18:35] <sudobash> are where did I faulter from them?
[18:35] <LjL> sudobash: nobody really cares if you read them or not, you'll just end up out of the channel if you don't follow them.
[18:35] <nny> so.... can anyone tell me how to manage wireless networks (like preferred) with nm-applet???? or is there a config file somewhere? Grepped the ENTIRE fs for the essid, no luck
[18:35] <sudobash> from being "normal"?
[18:35] <Seveas> sudobash, by being arrogant.
[18:35] <ompaul> sudobash, warning I now consider your actions those of a troll
[18:35] <Seveas> and offtopic now
[18:35] <sudobash> nny iwconfig
[18:35] <Seveas> so stop it or begone
[18:35] <Megaqwerty> For some reason, when I am doing DirectIM in pidgin, I can view images sent to me, but the person I'm talking to can't see the images I send. Any ideas as to why?
[18:35] <sd32> well i see this is a waste of time,bye
[18:36] <stefg> c01100011: dd is one of the linux power commands that can do very good and very dangerous things
[18:36] <adorablepuppy> What is the package for pidgin called?
[18:36] <LjL> !pidgin > adorablepuppy    (adorablepuppy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:36] <sudobash> you should be the one that needs to be "normal"
[18:36] <Seveas> nny, nm-applet stores its config in gconf
[18:36] <nny> sudobash: iwconfig is for setting paramters on the interface, I need to know where it is being stored, as every time i turn my pc on it attempts to ...
[18:36] <sinisterben> how tight is it that mplayer remixes streaming media with vinyl like quality slowdowns ;D
[18:36] <nny> Seveas: joy thanks
[18:36] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Why am I getting the message "packages cannot be authenticated" from apt-get?
[18:36] <carpark> Dr_willis: can you help me install my multi-disk game?
[18:36] <LjL> !gpgerr > ZaphodBeeblebrox    (ZaphodBeeblebrox, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:36] <nny> Seveas: should have known ><
[18:36] <Seveas> nny, open gconf-editor and go to /system/networking/wireless
[18:37] <VSpike> stefg: hmm it boots and even seems to work, mostly
[18:37] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> LjL: I didn't added any custom reps
[18:37] <stefg> ZaphodBeeblebrox: you are either not using a gpg signed repo, or you didn't add the key
[18:37] <LjL> ZaphodBeeblebrox: sometimes, although i don't know why, it happens with the standard repos too.
[18:37] <stefg> VSpike: phewww.... bvut a backup won't hurt, eh?
[18:37] <Megaqwerty> For some reason, when I am doing DirectIM in pidgin, I can view images sent to me, but the person I'm talking to can't see the images I send. Any ideas as to why?
[18:38] <nny> Seveas: anyway to delete a network entry?
[18:38] <Macros42> any help with a dvd playback problem? I've installed all the libs (as in http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability) but it still won't work
[18:38] <stefg> !dvd | Macros42
[18:38] <ubotu> Macros42: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[18:38] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> LjL: yeah i believe this isn't the first time it happens... Well I can go on and install the packages anyway, right?
[18:39] <LjL> ZaphodBeeblebrox: you should. but the stuff ubotu gave you should be able to fix the warning anyway
[18:39] <Macros42> stefg: I've installed libdvdcss2 but totem tells me I haven't
[18:39] <Seveas> nny, gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/put_essid_here
[18:39] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> ok, thanks
[18:39] <cico>  I have multiple Linux OS with /boot/grub in all of their / partition? now how do I know which one of those is being used by grub during boot-time?
[18:39] <Seveas> nny, newer nm-applet versions will have a gui for that
[18:39] <Seveas> cico, the last one to install itself into MBR will be the one
[18:39] <nny> Seveas: that will be a blessing, can't imagine the average user dealing with that
[18:40] <Seveas> nny, even above average, only few users will find this
[18:40] <stefg> Macros42: then something isn't installed right. Use the medibuntu repos, these have the highest chance of having non-broken packages
[18:40] <mistone> Marcos42 : you have to do some command to get dvd's working let me look it up again
[18:40] <Macros42> stefg: i did use medibuntu
[18:40] <nny> Seveas: heh yeah I had to ask.. there used to be a file in /etc/wpasupplicant that had the goodies in it IIRC
[18:40] <Macros42> mistone: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh ?
[18:40] <mistone> Macros42: something like taht, you also have to restart
[18:41] <jb47> have read a fair amount about boot failure due to screen resolution failure in gusty [esp with crt monitors]. anyone have solutions for this esp with live cd situations]?
[18:41] <Macros42> I restarted X - is that not enough?
[18:41] <mistone> Macros42: it wasn't for me
[18:41] <stefg> Macros42: you could try if vlc manages to play the DVD
[18:41] <nny> Seveas: I assume order in gconf reflects precedence?
[18:41] <stefg> Macros42: but a reboot won't hurt
[18:41] <mistone> Macros42: there is also a bug in totem , don't use the "play dvd" from the menu, drag the dvd from the desktop into totem to play it
[18:41] <Seveas> nny, no, just alphabetical
[18:42] <traveller18> how do you make a partition with the terminal?
[18:42] <Seveas> nny, current nm doesn't have any preferred network settings yet
[18:42] <stefg> traveller18: with fdisk or cfdisk
[18:42] <SpComb> traveller18: cfdisk
[18:42] <mistone> or just double click it :P
[18:42]  * stefg likes cfdsik
[18:42] <Macros42> vlc has a fit when I try it - I'll reboot
[18:42] <nny> Seveas: ahh just my luck than.. it always seems to pick my neighbors Wifi first.. (heh had to "borrow" it one day) :)
[18:43] <traveller18> spcomb and stefg well how do i do it using that?
[18:43] <nny> Seveas: but fixed now, thanks!
[18:43] <Megaqwerty> For some reason, when I am doing DirectIM in pidgin, I can view images sent to me, but the person I'm talking to can't see the images I send. Any ideas as to why?
[18:43] <Some1> Anyone know how to hide a foldername?
[18:43] <Seveas> Some1, put a . in front
[18:43] <stefg> traveller18: you'll know when you run sudo cfdisk /dev/foobar
[18:44] <|Bryan|> Some1, here's how to hide your porn http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1742613
[18:44] <wIRC-Newbie> megaqwerty: the pidgin protocol is incorrectly sending images. i have the problem too
[18:44] <traveller18> stefg doesn't do anything
[18:44] <bcm43xx> does anyone know what happened to fwcutter? where can i get this the repository seems to be broken
[18:45] <parampreet> hey!
[18:45] <Yancho> VSpike its not there :S there is no php .. any other way i can find it please?
[18:45] <stefg> traveller18: what did you run?
[18:45] <Megaqwerty> wIRC-Newbie: well...at least I'm not the only one.
[18:45] <Seveas> bcm43xx, in gutsy, restricted-manager can do broadcom stuff
[18:45] <traveller18> stefg what you said to
[18:45] <Macros42> stefg & mistone : reboot sorted it thanks
[18:45] <Some1> I'm not going to hide porn.. I'm trying to hide the folder name like: "hold Alt 0160", but It doesn't hide
[18:45] <Sinlore_> Can anyone help me download/install GIMPShop?
[18:45] <mistone> Macros42: yea that had me stumped to :P
[18:46] <kevor> Hi, how can i unmount a drive? sudo umount /dev/sdb gives me output that the drive is busy (while there is nothing done on that drive)
[18:46] <Macros42> now to see if I can get dvd:rip working too :D
[18:46] <|Bryan|> if you just want it to not display in a normal file list you put a dot as the first character of the file name
[18:46] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: I'll look into it
[18:46] <traveller18> stefg i ran  sudo cfdisk /dev/foobar
[18:46] <stefg> traveller18: /dev/foobar was a generic name. you have to replace with the actaul device name
[18:46] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: Ty. :D
[18:46] <bcm43xx> ok let me look i just installed feisty no sure if it went to gutsy yet
[18:46] <|Bryan|> but that's not really *hidden*
[18:46] <traveller18> stefg ok
[18:46] <Seveas> kevor, make sure no shells are currently cd'd to that dir
[18:46] <Jordan_U> kevor: Do you have any terminlals cd'd there ?
[18:46] <sinisterben> Seveas, mono is wicked thanks
[18:46] <kevor> Seveas: i've killed all ssh terminals
[18:46] <parampreet> I'm facing a strange problem in Ubuntu Gutsy, I can connect via ssh from my laptop to my desktop (both on LAN) via the "ssh" command, however when I try to connect through Places > Connect to server, I get a timeout. What could be the problem ??
[18:47] <Some1> If you change the icon too, It's hidde :P
[18:47] <Some1> hidden*
[18:47] <Seveas> kevor, then do: lsof | grep /mountpouint/of/dev/sdb
[18:47] <traveller18> stefg says fatal error cannot open disk drive
[18:47] <stefg> traveller18: foobar is the standard placeholder for <insert what applies to your situation>
[18:47] <|Bryan|> Some1, ls -a shows files that start with ., so it's not really hidden
[18:47] <stefg> traveller18: *sudo*
[18:47] <kevor> Seveas: no output
[18:47] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: I think you can just use the .deb from http://gimpshop.com/download.shtml
[18:47] <Jordan_U> kevor: And if that deosn't return anythig try adding sudo
[18:48] <jimmacdonald> here is error output when I run the command from a cmdline http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43293/
[18:48] <kevor> Jordan_U: now it returns something
[18:48] <ompaul> Some1,  mv foo\ s .foo\ s  << the \ before the space
[18:48] <tato> Hi...somebody speak spanish?
[18:48] <ompaul> !es | tato
[18:48] <ubotu> tato: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[18:49] <parampreet> anybody ??
[18:49] <kevor> Jordan_U: it was a shell that was alreadyclosed, but still ative somehow
[18:49] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: is gimpshopdotnet.blogspot.com the main site?
[18:49] <erwan_taf> hey folks
[18:49] <FotoPhocus> yo
[18:49] <bcm43xx> no luck fwcutter still broken where can i get a dri/join #ubuntuer
[18:50] <bcm43xx> oops
[18:50] <ompaul> parampreet, does the server have openssh-server installed?
[18:50] <erwan_taf> I just saw that mail, sounds its for you
[18:50] <bcm43xx> brb
[18:50] <erwan_taf> http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.63.0711012243110.21842%40trinity.phys.uwm.edu
[18:50] <Some1> If you write (hold Alt 0160) as folder name, the folder name should disappear... But it doesn't :(
[18:50] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: Nah, its gimpshop.com I'm pretty sure.
[18:50] <parampreet> ompaul: yup
[18:50] <aleka> Tried getting help on this yesterday... I am getting broken video playback on flash contents...please help..
[18:50] <erwan_taf> I wonder if you are already informed about this
[18:50] <kevor> Seveas: i'm seeint some bash login with a PID, tried to kill that pid (sudo kill 1234) but it won't die...
[18:50] <stefg> !please | aleka
[18:50] <ubotu> aleka: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[18:50] <ompaul> parampreet, so from the command line ssh -C user@othermachine you get what - nothing?
[18:50] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: then that should do it for ya. Feel free to pm me if you want me to try making a deb myself. (assuming that the debs from their site don't work)
[18:50] <parampreet> ompaul: it connects through the "ssh" command (ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:50] <kevor> ah, kill -9 worked :)
[18:51] <samjiman> larson999: I managed to boot Gutsy in recovery mode
[18:51] <kevor> thanks for the help!@#
[18:51] <parampreet> ompaul: but it doesn't connect when I go to Places > Connect to server and select SSH
[18:51] <samjiman> larson999: so maybe I can fix whatever is causing the problem here
[18:51] <parampreet> ompaul: it times out... :(
[18:51] <ja5on> anyone know where i can get avant themes from
[18:52] <PoorLeno1> I just installed a 300GB SATA Hard Drive.  When I boot to GRUB, it fails.  When I disable the newly installed HDD in my BIOS and reboot, everything works as normal.  Any ideas on how to fix GRUB?
[18:52] <c01100011> stefg, testdisk didn't find any partitions
[18:52] <Nyle> hi
[18:52] <aleka> stefg: was just trying to be nice in asking the question... was not being impatient... I think that trigger was uncalled for
[18:52] <|Bryan|> PoorLeno1, check your bios and fix the order of your disks
[18:52] <riaal> the man-page of stat say, %U Prints owner of file, how do I use it? stat %U filename doesn't work
[18:52] <Nyle> how come the user can't write to /usr *no permissions*
[18:52] <stefg> parampreet: you have setup passwordless login by exchanging the rsa-keys of server/client, have you?
[18:53] <c01100011> stefg,  the image i copied was 512 mb,  so obviously the parition table is gone. but what about the rest of the data, is there anyway of getting it
[18:53] <stefg> c01100011: i thought that. there is nothing to recover. it's overwritten
[18:53] <wotamuckinfuddle> you get used to the power trippers aleka
[18:53] <PoorLeno1> Set my new HDD as the last disk?
[18:53] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: Thanks for the help. :D
[18:53] <stefg> c01100011: you could try photorec
[18:53] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: I take it it worked then?
[18:53] <parampreet> stefg: umm... not sure, but I did choose to save my password...
[18:54] <stefg> parampreet: that's not the same
[18:54] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: Not sure yet lol, downloading the .deb now.
[18:54] <parampreet> stefg: how do I find out ?
[18:54] <corevette> i'm on gutsy and i can't load x
[18:54] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: k, and you're welcome.
[18:54] <aleka> can anyone access adobe.com? I am trying to download the flashplayer plugin for FF and the website is not responding
[18:54] <corevette> which prooves x isn't bulletproof
[18:54] <Yancho> How can I know which user is php running under? OS : Ubuntu
[18:54] <riaal> can anyone tell me how to use the stat command?
[18:54] <ompaul> riaal, stat filename
[18:55] <riaal> ompaul, the manpage say, %U to see the owner
[18:55] <stefg> parampreet: http://ariadne.mse.uiuc.edu/Cluster/ssh_log_through.html
[18:55] <corevette> i accidentally uninstalled xserver-xorg in ubuntu and now i can't load mys system, is there a way i can reinstall it?
[18:56] <riaal> ompaul, how do I use that? I want to see the owner :(
[18:56] <|Bryan|> riaal, stat --format=%U filename
[18:56] <traveller18> stefg still doesnt work even with sudo
[18:56] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: Yeah, it worked, thanks again.
[18:56] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: anytime!
[18:56] <stefg> c01100011: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
[18:56] <riaal> thanks again |Bryan| !!
[18:56] <|Bryan|> no problem
[18:57] <|Bryan|> riaal, hey it gives the octal code for permissions as well
[18:57] <parampreet> stefg: I'll just explain my problem again, I can connect through SSH though the command-line, but when I go to "Places" > "Connect to server...", select "SSH" as the service type and try to connect, it times out.
[18:57] <ratX> does anyone know where i can score some left handed mouse cursors?
[18:57] <|Bryan|> you could use that in your script
[18:57] <traveller18> stefg cfdisk still doesn't work even with sudo
[18:57] <parampreet> stefg: I'm entering the same parameters in both the cases
[18:57] <riaal> |Bryan|, I know, thats what Im arfter =)
[18:57] <|Bryan|> haha
[18:58] <|Bryan|> good find
[18:58] <sonicdude> has anybody found a good vpn client for sonicwalls
[18:58] <stefg> parampreet: ah, you need sshfs installed
[18:58] <riaal> |Bryan|, :)
[18:58] <insllvn> hello
[18:58] <stefg> !info sshfs > parampreet
[18:58] <zapconquest> hello everybody
[18:58] <|Bryan|> and that's why i like helping.  i just learned something new.
[18:58] <sonicdude> sshfs?
[18:58] <zapconquest> I have a very slow computer, so slow that it's haard even to use pidgin
[18:58] <stefg> traveller18: what error ?
[18:59] <corevette> is there a way i can load my restricted drivers for my wifi without loading x?
[18:59] <zapconquest> how can I get more speed without changing hardware
[18:59] <stefg> zapconquest: by living more slowly
[18:59] <zapconquest> I'm running regular uvuntu right now, and its slower than win 98
[18:59] <traveller18> stefg it says FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
[19:00] <|Bryan|> that's like comparing win3.1 and windows xp - they are vastly different
[19:00] <zapconquest> stefg: hehe
[19:00] <zapconquest> |Bryan|: yeah they are different but I thought I'd see speed gains with ubuntu
[19:00] <drgeb> how do I fix "broadcast: RPC: Timed out." I am guessing this  is related to ypbind but have no idea how this all works?
[19:00] <IPGHOST> hi guys
[19:00] <psie> ih
[19:00] <stefg> traveller18: which device ? run sudo fdisk -l for a list of your drives, i assume you are talking to a non-existant drive
[19:01] <IPGHOST> on ubuntu how i can do video chats ???
[19:01] <psie> noclue
[19:01] <|Bryan|> zapconquest, probably not - win98 uses less resources than ubuntu.  there are distros of linux with smaller footprints than ubuntu that you'd see a performance improvement with
[19:01] <zapconquest> will switching display managers help? I heard that gdm isn't that good on lower end machines
[19:02] <|Bryan|> i'm sure xfce would be easier on your system
[19:02] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: I can't figured it out now lol. I installed the package, but I can't figure out where it installed to in order to open it.
[19:02] <stefg> zapconquest: tell about your hardware (cpu, ram harddrive)
[19:02] <zapconquest> |Bryan|: yeah, ok
[19:02] <|Bryan|> turn off any extras in your display manager as well
[19:02] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: one min, I'm on the phone
[19:02] <insllvn> totem movie player has fat black bars when the sidebar is open but only when the screen is smaller than a given size as if the sidebar won't get smaller anyone know of a way to fix this?
[19:02] <zapconquest> |Bryan|: do you know how to install it? I'm not sure what to do in synaptic
[19:02] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: Okies.
[19:03] <c01100011> stefg,  photorec is doing a great job of restoring all the files, but unfortunately that isn't what i need. See i have backups, but i don't remember what i had on this drive. [small portable drive full of music/movies/pictures that I took to school] Is there a way to recover the file names, and not the conent ?
[19:03] <zapconquest> ]stefg: is that information displayed anywhere in Ubuntu?
[19:03] <|Bryan|> to start, i'd search for xfce4 and install it
[19:03] <scguy318> c01100011: not reliably, unfortunately, file deletion removes exactly that info
[19:03] <stefg> c01100011: not that i know of something
[19:03] <insllvn> zapconquest, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[19:04] <stefg> !paste | traveller18
[19:04] <ubotu> traveller18: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:04] <stefg> !pm > traveller18
[19:04] <zapconquest> inslivn: thanks
[19:04] <traveller18> sorry
[19:04] <insllvn> no prob
[19:04] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: I don't have it installed myself, but I'm pretty sure that the changes have already been applied to gimp. Applications>Graphics>GIMP Image Editor
[19:04] <parampreet> stefg: I just installed sshfs through Synaptic, but I'm still getting a timeout when connecting through Places > "Connect to server". The exact error is "Could not open location<EMAIL_ADDRESS> "Timeout reached"
[19:05] <demian81> hi
[19:05] <samjiman> I can boot Gutsy only thru recovery mode, otherwise I end up with a blank screen. Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this problem. Thanks?
[19:05] <Sinlore_> Megaqwerty: When I do that it wants me to install GIMP.
[19:05] <stefg> parampreet: some firewall rule in the way ?
[19:05] <demian81> smjiman
[19:05] <demian81> gedit your xorg.conf and at the top
[19:05] <zapconquest> stefg: 313MB ram, AMD-k6 processor,
[19:05] <demian81> you can run a command to recreate from defaults
[19:05] <samjiman> demian81: Thanks :)
[19:06] <demian81> worked for me after i messed up my dual screen setup
[19:06] <samjiman> I haven't changed anything though
[19:06] <samjiman> I just installed
[19:06] <stefg> zapconquest: i'd use xubuntu on that processor. all the bling in gnome eats cpu-cycles
[19:06] <traveller18> stefg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43296/
[19:06] <parampreet> stefg: it was connecting fine till a few days back, now it's stopped suddenly. In fact, it stopped when I choose to save the password for "everytime I connect"...
[19:06] <demian81> hmm
[19:06] <parampreet> stefg: could that have anything to do with it ?
[19:06] <demian81> first time installing?
[19:06] <c01100011> stefg, allright, guess I will live without files and replace them when i go home for fall break.
[19:06] <samjiman> yeah fresh install / not upgrade
[19:07] <thompa> sound juicer or nothing else is retreiving track data anymore
[19:07] <c01100011> stefg, best way to fix the disk and turn it into on nice fat32 ?
[19:07] <demian81> ok
[19:07] <mauricio> hello
[19:07] <zapconquest> stefg: thanks! Will I miss any features?
[19:07] <demian81> what video card?
[19:07] <samjiman> cdemian81: can I pm you?
[19:07] <demian81> sure
[19:07] <stefg> parampreet: yes, it might have changed the authentication.... but since it 'works for me' i'm running out of ideas
[19:08] <insllvn> does anyone else get fat black bars above and below the movie when the sidebar is open in totem?
[19:08] <Megaqwerty> Sinlore_: So, after installation, you tried launching the GIMP. What happened after that?
[19:08] <thompa> anybody know how to retrieve track info
[19:08] <zapconquest> insllvn: stupid question, but is the video widescreen? letterboxing might be what idit does
[19:08] <parampreet> stefg: any way to "clear saved passwords" ? I've even tried removing the connection and creating it again...
[19:08] <stefg> zapconquest: xubuntu is for small machines so of course it's not the same as gnome. but it's still gtk, so you can add features from gnome if you need them
[19:09] <bpat1434> Hi all.  Quick question: in my bottom panel I have the desktop switcher, right now it shows 4 desktops with all 4 on the top row; how can I get them to be in a two row square?  I'm running compiz-fusion btw.
[19:09] <zapconquest> stefg: ok
[19:09] <stefg> traveller18: so where are you going to create the partition?
[19:09] <the_greeter> hi
[19:09] <MLG_GooseMann> bpat: so you want a 2x2 square of workspaces on your panel?
[19:09] <acalbaza> hey all, just trying to install gusty and my install drops me to busybox... how can i debug whats going on here?
[19:10] <gnubie> samjiman: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/150930 you might look here
[19:10] <bpat1434> MLG_GooseMann: yes, right now it's a 4x2 and I only have 4 desktops
[19:10] <insllvn> zapconquest, no it appears to be linked to the sidebar ie when I close the sidebar I can resize so they go away but the comeback when i reopen the sidebar
[19:10] <stefg> !xubuntu | zapconquest
[19:10] <ubotu> zapconquest: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[19:10] <traveller18> stefg on the sda 300 gig one
[19:10] <MLG_GooseMann> Right click on them, and go to preferences. Change columns to two and rows to two.
[19:11] <scguy318> acalbaza: /bin/ssh tty job control error?
[19:11] <stefg> traveller18: so 'sudo cfdsik /dev/sda'
[19:11] <scguy318> acalbaza: *sh
[19:11] <stefg> traveller18: so 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda'
[19:11] <bpat1434> MLG_GooseMann: I've tried that already, and when I do that, it keeps it confined to what seemst to be the "Top" row.
[19:11] <scguy318> acalbaza? try booting with all_generic_ide or use the alternate CD
[19:11] <scguy318> acalbaza: try booting with all_generic_ide or use the alternate CD
[19:11] <bpat1434> MLG_GooseMann: wouldyou like a couple screenshots?
[19:11] <MLG_GooseMann> bpat: Does it say 4x1 or 4x2?
[19:12] <MLG_GooseMann> Sure.
[19:12] <bpat1434> MLG_GooseMann: right now, it's 4 columns, 1 row.  But when I swtich it, I get a smaller area with 4x2.  I'll put some quick screenies up
[19:12] <stefg> traveller18: but a.) there is no unpartitioned space. b.) you should fix the partition order
[19:12] <traveller18> stefg says: Fatal error : bad logical partition 8 : enlarged logical partition overlap
[19:12] <chymera> how do i do a kernel upgrade?=
[19:13] <zapconquest> Well I'm getting there eventuually. most of the time I can't see what I'm typing because the screen freezes.
[19:13] <MLG_GooseMann> bpat: I'm not really an expert, but have you tried deleting the workspace switcher and putting it back in?
[19:13] <bulmer> chymera-> have you ever googled for a tutorial on updating kernels?
[19:13] <scguy318> chymera: use Update Manager
[19:14] <aguitel> how remove compiz ?
[19:14] <xIke_> I can't get AWN to work: libwnck-1.so.18:.  anyone done this?
[19:14] <stefg> traveller18: yeah, the partition table is a mess. run sudo fdisk /dev/sda, then choose x f w  , then reboot. that will fix the mess first. but be careful, if the partition table  is half broken already that might lead to a non-bootable system. backups are a good idea
[19:15] <johnation33> hey does anyone know how I can give sudo permissions to a folder called "carnivore" in my filesystem?
[19:15] <chymera> well update manager doesn't really say that there is any new kernel, but upon typing uname -r i get 2.6.20-14-generic
[19:15] <chymera> whilst most users get
[19:15] <johnation33> I need to do it because I have a shared thunderbird profile in that folder between windows and ubuntu
[19:15] <madman91> hey guys
[19:15] <chymera> 2.6.22-14
[19:15] <madman91> stupid question.. how do i close a chat window in irssi?
[19:15] <franz1789> why when I try to enable iplist, it says that an iptables chain already exist???
[19:16] <madman91> how can i close any window in irssi (like a pm)
[19:16] <traveller18> stefg what would you propose for me to make backups to ?
[19:16] <Dr_willis_>  madman91  /window close
[19:16] <scguy318> johnation33: make it ownt by root?
[19:17] <scguy318> johnation33: in that case just do sudo chown root:root /path/to/that/folder
[19:17] <madman91> thanks Dr_willis_
[19:17] <stefg> traveller18: that was directed at you :-) but in general: BACKUPS ARE A GEEKS BEST FRIEND! :-)
[19:17] <scguy318> johnation33: chown -R if you want everythikng in that folder
[19:17] <boguh> i just installed urxt but there is no manpage for it. all i see when i call man rxvt is "Manual page rxvt(1) line ?/? (END)"
[19:17] <Hodapp> Where can I find a config.gz for a kernel?
[19:17] <johnation33> ok
[19:17] <johnation33> thanks scguy
[19:17] <adorablepuppy> how do I get the glib2 development headers for Fiesty?
[19:17] <Hodapp> I am building an older version and am not familiar with how Ubuntu handles kernels, so I'm using the only method I know how...
[19:18] <erat123> does anyone have any suggestions for a good backup utility to use on ubuntu?
[19:18] <demian81> can someone help me with ipsec
[19:18] <Yancho> Can i pass the password of sudo in a Basch script?
[19:18] <scguy318> adorablepuppy: use Synaptic
[19:18] <c01100011> stefg, gparted will only crete a  499.98 MB fat32 partition when i ask for a 465.76 GB one
[19:19] <johnation33> scguy, i dont think i did it correctly
[19:19] <stefg> c01100011: cylinder boundaries...
[19:19] <johnation33> I typed sudo chown root:root /carnivore
[19:19] <scguy318> johnation33: is carnivore on /?
[19:19] <Dr_willis_> fat32 has a partition size limit i thoiught. but its bigger then that. :)
[19:19] <traveller18> stefg i know that but i don't really have anything available to back up to? so should i wait until i get something to back up to or go ahead with it? basically will the system be salvagable if i do the fdisk thing?
[19:19] <johnation33> yes
[19:19] <bulmer> Hodapp-> its now in /boot/config-`uname -r`
[19:19] <scguy318> johnation33: sudo chown -R root:root /carnivore
[19:19] <johnation33> if you double click on filsystem, its in that
[19:19] <johnation33> oh
[19:20] <jonah> hey guys i need to update my bios, but apparently i need to do it from floppy but my machine doesn't have a floppy, is there a way i can update from cd instead somehow, if anyone can please help me out
[19:20] <Cyllene> Hello all. How can I setup VNC such that what I do remotely does NOT appear on the screen?
[19:20] <Cyllene> But... I want to be able to use the physical screen if need be (with a password of some sort)
[19:20] <IanLiu> is there a way to undo RM command? :S
[19:21] <johnation33> um scguy i forgot to mention, its a mounted volume
[19:21] <bulmer> IanLiu-> no can undo rm
[19:21] <johnation33> and i still dont have write permissions, tried to move a file in it
[19:21] <Cyllene> This way if I am controlling the pc remotely, I don't have to worry about someone watching the screen
[19:21] <johnation33> and it didnt work
[19:21] <stefg> traveller18: if you can wait, rather do so until you have a backup medium. what can happen is that grub doesn't find the proper boot partition after you rearrange the partitions in the right order, so that's recoverable, but takes a Live CD and some knowledge
[19:21] <acalbaza> scguy318: what is the "alternate cd"?
[19:21] <bpat1434> MLG_GooseMann: Okay, screenshots: http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2x1desktopps7.png   and http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2x2desktopiv3.png
[19:21] <johnation33> how do I give full sudo permissions to a mounted volume called carnivore in / ?
[19:21] <IanLiu> oh shit
[19:21] <scguy318> !alternate | acalbaza
[19:21] <ubotu> acalbaza: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[19:21] <Dr_willis_> Cyllene,   I normally ssh in to a box. run vncserver, that way i got a whole 'hidden' desktop to do work with. I dont 'controll' the currently running local desktop.
[19:22] <Lhademmor> Can someone help me? When generating a GPGOpenkey, which is the "key-id"? gpg, uid, pub, sub or which one?
[19:22] <Cyllene> Dr_willis_: SSH can not help me, because I need to access programs with GUIs
[19:22] <scguy318> acalbaza: have you tried booting with all_generic_ide?
[19:22] <ompaul> IanLiu, have you the following tools - (A) a second computer (B) a network and (C) some CDs you can burn another linux CD onto?
[19:22] <Hodapp> alternate question, where would I find packages for older kernels?
[19:22] <bulmer> johnation33-> you dont give sudo permission to a file system or volume, its the user you give access to
[19:22] <ondro> hey anybody how can I change the number of desktops in ubuntu 7,10? thanks guys
[19:22] <Cyllene> Dr_willis_: And I can not start another X screen because I can not run two of my GUI apps at once.
[19:22] <traveller18> stefg my boot partition is my first partition, but i do have a live cd so i think ill go ahead with it
[19:22] <acalbaza> going to try that now
[19:22] <josh04> Can anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate grub sets?
[19:22] <bpat1434> MLG_GooseMann: Okay, so removing it and adding it again helped, but now I have 4 desktops, yet I can only switch between two of them ;(  I see no option to add a workspace
[19:23] <Dr_willis_> Cyllene,  You are a little confused. :) ssh Starts the 'vncserver' program Which you then connect to with a 'vncclient' You do get a full desktop Inside the client window.
[19:23] <johnation33> how do I give full sudo permissions to a mounted volume called carnivore in / ?
[19:23] <IanLiu> yes, why?
[19:23] <johnation33> oh gotcha bulmer
[19:23] <Cyllene> Dr_willis_: You are confused about what I need to do
[19:23] <stefg> traveller18: alright, having /boot separate and as the first one make it unlikely that grub will fsck up.
[19:23] <Dr_willis_> Cyllene,  vncserver is a very powerfull and flexiable tool.  Thers dozens of ways to use it other then sharing the 'currently running desktop'
[19:23] <ompaul> IanLiu, let me get you a url
[19:23] <johnation33> so I do I give myself full sudo permissions to a mounted volume located in root at /carnivore ?
[19:24] <Dr_willis_> Cyllene,   You want to hide the currently running desktop, which has 'share this desktop' enabled?
[19:24] <johnation33> *how
[19:24] <bulmer> Hodapp-> you just have to google for older kernel source
[19:24] <Soflaguy> hi there.  im a new to ubuntu but somewha computer savvy
[19:24] <acalbaza> scguy318: nope... dropped to the busybox again...
[19:24] <ondro> hey anybody how can I change the number of desktops in ubuntu 7,10? thanks guys
[19:24] <scguy318> acalbaza: looks like you might have to try the alternate CD then
[19:24] <scguy318> Soflaguy: hello
[19:24] <Hodapp> bulmer: Surely some packages exist with binaries? I'm just trying to avoid needing to build a kernel
[19:24] <Cyllene> Dr_willis_: I need to control _one_ X session but I want to control it remotely so that if someone walks up to my computer and turns on the monitors, they can't control my pc locally
[19:25] <emal> !queque
[19:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about queque - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:25] <johnation33> ondro: right click on the workspace squares on the bottom right corner and click preferences
[19:25] <acalbaza> scguy318: any way to tell what dropped me there?
[19:25] <ompaul> IanLiu, I am not saying this will recover anything / everything, but depending on the value of the information: http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html
[19:25] <kapace> if i make a partition and install ubuntu will windows still boot up or which has priority?
[19:25] <IanLiu> ompaul: no need, I RM'ed some not critical files from my desktop
[19:25] <Soflaguy> I have a Gateway MT3418 notebook, and I went to Gateways website for drivers for UBUNTU but they don't have them?  And after emailing them they said that they do not support it and that I have to go back to Vista.
[19:25] <volk> how can I make courier imap automatically delete messages from mail server after they are downloaded by a user?
[19:25] <johnation33> kapace: ubuntu has priority
[19:25] <bulmer> Hodapp-> that meant someone has to have the intimate knowledge of such...i doubt it if you'd find many that do, i dont for one :)
[19:25] <scragar> kapace: grub will let you switch
[19:25] <Ashfire908> how do i get tar to put the files in like root? (/media/shareddata/rootdrive/file to /file)
[19:25] <johnation33> unless you change grub
[19:25] <IanLiu> ompaul: thanks ;)
[19:25] <kapace> ok
[19:25] <kapace> scragar: thanks
[19:25] <traveller18> stefg see you in a couple of minutes hopefully
[19:25] <ondro> hey anybody how can I change the number of desktops in ubuntu 7,10? thanks guys
[19:25] <towlie> does samba come built in with ubuntu 7.10 ?
[19:25] <ompaul> IanLiu, well then go learn (A) backups and (B) to be more careful with rm ;-)
[19:26] <IanLiu> =)
[19:26] <Dr_willis_> Cyllene,  if using gnome and vino, there may be a vino setting for that.   I never do it that way. so thats about all i know.

[19:26] <Dr_willis_> !vino
[19:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vino - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[19:26] <josh04> Can anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate grub sets?
[19:26] <scguy318> acalbaza: what happened before you got dropped to busybox?
[19:26] <acalbaza> scguy318: splash screen
[19:27] <Soflaguy> every computer manufacturer doesn't have drivers for UBUNTU!
[19:27] <scguy318> acalbaza: if you boot without quiet splash, what happens?
[19:27] <ondro> oh shit that was easy... thanks and sorry to bother u guys
[19:27] <bulmer> johnation33-> sudo is equated to root that has the full root access to file systems
[19:27] <scguy318> acalbaza: and all_generic_ide
[19:27] <simen>  when running compiz(with xgl) the screen goes black after a while when I'm watching a movie, how do I fix this?
[19:27] <acalbaza> scguy318: trying that now
[19:27] <Ashfire908> bulmer, huh?
[19:27] <josh04> Can anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate grub sets?
[19:27] <whyamye> every other time I suspend, the laptop then immediately suspends or hibernates again. How to troubleshoot?
[19:27] <bulmer> Ashfire908-> double huh?
[19:27] <towlie> what do i need to do so i can connect to my ubuntu desktop from a mac or windows box on my lan
[19:27] <Soflaguy> Do you need drivers for UBUNTU????
[19:28] <Ashfire908> bulmer, oh sorry. i mean put the files into the file like that
[19:28] <scragar> josh04: grub settings are in /etc/grub.d but I don't recomened editing them unless you know what your doing
[19:28] <the_greeter> !repeat | josh04
[19:28] <ubotu> josh04: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[19:28] <thompa> how does sound juicer retrieve cd data?
[19:28] <Ashfire908> Soflaguy, that's because they are already in ubuntu
[19:28] <bderrly> Soflaguy, what sort of drivers are you looking for?
[19:28] <scguy318> towlie: connect how?
[19:28] <bulmer> Ashfire908-> sudo tar xvf sourc dest  <-- this allows you to put files at destinations
[19:28] <Hodapp> what package does one find stdio.h in?
[19:28] <kapace> can i make boot from 1st hd default in grub?
[19:28] <towlie> scent, i mean set up file sharing
[19:28] <Soflaguy> drivers for the MT3418 GATEWAY LAPTOPT
[19:28] <Soflaguy> LAPTOP*
[19:28] <scguy318> thompa: it reads it raw I guess, or whatever do you mean?
[19:28] <Ashfire908> bulmer, huh?
[19:28] <bulmer> Ashfire908-> double huh?
[19:28] <emal> http://fusion.xdcc.it/bot/FuSiOn|017.html
[19:29] <Hodapp> and all the other include files for that reason
[19:29] <josh04> scragar: thanks ;) the_greeter: sorry, just frustrated after a day of troubleshooting
[19:29] <Ashfire908> Soflaguy, is everything working?
[19:29] <johnation33> this is what I mean by full permissions on a mounted volume: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2107144#post2107144 Only except, the mounted volume is not FAT32 but Ext3
[19:29] <Soflaguy> LAN, VIDEO, CHIPSET, ECT
[19:29] <scragar> Hodapp: stdio is standard input output, you will proberly already have it
[19:29] <Soflaguy> no sound not working
[19:29] <thompa> scguy318: it stopped reading disk data
[19:29] <bderrly> Ashfire908, I would recommend tar xvf file.tar.gz -C /des/tin/ation
[19:29] <johnation33> so how would I do it for Ext3?
[19:29] <acalbaza> scguy318: not much help... logging is dumped, but nothing helpful...  i die at 81.764567 ext3-fs: mounted fs with ordered data mode
[19:29] <bulmer> Hodapp-> those has not changed, they should be in same place
[19:29] <thompa> scguy318: i can put the same disk in and now no track info
[19:29] <Hodapp> hmm... perhaps the wrong include directory
[19:29] <scguy318> thompa: try cdparanoia for rip needs?
[19:29] <Ashfire908> i'm not try to extract files!
[19:29] <thompa> scguy318: if i reboot it works until i get a cd that does not
[19:29] <Ashfire908> i
[19:30] <kapace> can i make boot from 1st hd default in grub?
[19:30] <bderrly> Soflaguy, have you tried searching google for gateway mt3418 linux?
[19:30] <acalbaza> hmm... casper.log says "unable to find a medium containing a live file system"?
[19:30] <scguy318> acalbaza: mm, just use the alternate CD then
[19:30] <Ashfire908> i'm trying to tar them
[19:30] <Dr_willis_> johnation33,  as far as i know - you must set the permissions on the files/dirs In the mounted volume. You cant just mouunt it in such a way that  the OS overrides the existing filesystem permissions.
[19:30] <scguy318> Soflaguy: what chipset is your soundcard?
[19:30] <towlie> scent, i mean set up file sharing so i can access my hard disks in my ubuntu desktop fom the other computers on my lan with file sharing
[19:30] <bulmer> kapace-> the 1st partition is 0,0 the next is 0,1
[19:30] <Soflaguy> mmm let me go and see gimme one moment
[19:30] <bderrly> Soflaguy, "drivers" are almost always in the linux kernel and not provided by hardware manufacturers
[19:30] <thompa> scguy318: ill try it,
[19:30] <scguy318> Dr_willis_: not even like umask=000?
[19:30] <Hodapp> bulmer: slocate reports otherwise
[19:30] <Dr_willis_> johnation33,  ive seen this asked befor.. If theres a way to 'override' them - ive never seen anyone mention it. I normally make a single dir on the volume and let the user i want  have full permission./ownership of that dir.
[19:30] <knightwise> hey everyone
[19:31] <scguy318> hello
[19:31] <simen>  when running compiz(with xgl) the screen goes black after a while when I'm watching a movie, how do I fix this? (seems to be a powersaving "feature")
[19:31] <kapace> bulmer: but can i make it default, like if i want 10seconds it boots for 0,0
[19:31] <scguy318> simen: oh, when it fades to black?
[19:31] <Dr_willis_> scguy318,  umask  and so forth are options for vfat. ebcause the dos fs dosent have theproper permission features
[19:31] <scguy318> simen: not sure actually
[19:31] <the_greeter> hey knightwise
[19:31] <scguy318> Dr_willis_: ah
[19:31] <Soflaguy> this is the mothrboard on the laptop
[19:31] <Soflaguy> Motherboard:
[19:31] <Soflaguy> Systemboard w/ NVIDIA C51MV w/o 1394 for Bishop - ARIMA
[19:31] <traveller18> stefg ok so i was able to boot back up
[19:31] <bulmer> kapace-> yeah, man grub or search google for tutorials on grub
[19:31] <scguy318> !compiz | simen
[19:31] <ubotu> simen: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[19:31] <scguy318> simen: try asking there
[19:31] <Dr_willis_> scguy318,  IF thers a way to do it.. ive never found it yet. :) and ive had a LOT of arguments with people in here over this.. They say its possible  but they have no idea how either. (but they are normally total linux beginners) :)
[19:31] <thompa> scguy318: im wondering if its a bug, or why it just would stop retrieving
[19:31] <knightwise> hey everyone
[19:31] <Sinlore_> Is it possible to install Photoshop CS in Wine?
[19:31] <stefg> traveller18: good... so now sudo fdsik -l should look different
[19:31] <simen> ok, thx
[19:32] <knightwise> howz it going
[19:32] <kapace> bulmer: thanks
[19:32] <stefg> traveller18: *fdisk -l
[19:32] <the_greeter> its going fine knightwise
[19:32] <traveller18> knightwise hey you knightwise of the podcast?
[19:32] <scguy318> Dr_willis_: ah ok ty
[19:32] <scguy318> Sinlore_: lemme check
[19:32] <thompa> scguy318: well grip is pulling up data anyway so ill use that
[19:32] <hdevalence> is there a way of turning off the touchpad mouse?
[19:32] <Hodapp> nevermind, just need build-essential
[19:32] <leo_away> Sinlore_: i'm like 99% sure that you can
[19:32] <Dr_willis_> scguy318,  i encounter similer issues with removeable usb drives that are ext3 formated. and used on different disrtos/os's
[19:33] <leo_away> Sinlore_: you can double check at winehq website, tho
[19:33] <Ashfire908> bulmer, i'm not trying to extract files. i 'm trying to create a tar file.
[19:33] <John> hey all :]
[19:33] <Sinlore_> leo_away: There a guide for installing it anywhere?
[19:33] <hdevalence> so that if I touch the touchpad it doesn't click?
[19:33] <John> Does anyone have a second to beta test my website?
[19:33] <Kugra> hdevalence: System > Prefrences > Mouse > Touchpad
[19:33] <johnation33> hmm drwillis, than how would I even create a new folder in my mounted volume with only read permissions?
[19:33] <jonasj> John, sure
[19:33] <John> I just made two new skins and i wondered if someone could give me some quick imput
[19:33] <traveller18> stefg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43298/
[19:33] <bderrly> Ashfire908, tar cf <file.tar> /dest/inatin/
[19:33] <John> cheers jonasj :]
[19:33] <bulmer> Ashfire908-> sudo tar cvf   key here is c for create,  man tar please
[19:34] <scguy318> Sinlore_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1815
[19:34] <jonasj> John, url? and what do you need tested?
[19:34] <bpat1434> Anyone run into an issue using Emerald of "Error calling `tar`" ?
[19:34] <John> erm, i can't PM you ~_~   - it's http://<IP_ADDRESS>/forum/index.php
[19:34] <leo_away> Sinlore_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1815
[19:34] <hdevalence> Kugra: do you know a CLI way of doing it?
[19:34] <John> that's the black theme - if you could just tell me what you like and what you don't like, that would be awesome :D
[19:34] <jonasj> oh
[19:34] <stefg> traveller18: yeah, that's better. but there's still no unpartitioned space. so you just want to /format/ a drive, right?
[19:34] <ompaul> Ashfire908, tar cvf MyArchive.tar /the/place/I/want/to/tar
[19:34] <hdevalence> Kugra: I'm not actually using GNOME
[19:35] <Kugra> hdevalence: No.  Sorry.
[19:35] <leo_away> Sinlore_: whenever you have a wine doubt just check their site (it is very complete)
[19:35] <jonasj> i dont know. when you said beta test, i thought you meant functionality
[19:35] <chymera> whats the latest kernel for ubuntu?
[19:35] <John> Ah, okay
[19:35] <Ashfire908> bderrly, bulmer: i'm not stupid. i know how to use tar. i want to know how to create a tar and remove /path/from/root from the path /path/from/root/rootfiles
[19:35] <hdevalence> Kugra: Thanks for the advice though.
[19:35] <jonasj> i don't really have much opinion on the skin
[19:35] <scguy318> chymera: which version?
[19:35] <ompaul> Ashfire908, and don't tar active databases have them dump
[19:35] <John> well just look at it, if you like it say it's nice, else say it sucks :P
[19:35] <hdevalence> bpat1434: Yes.
[19:35] <John> hehe
[19:35] <johnation33> When I right click on a folder in the mounted drive and click properties, I can't change permissions because: You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions. Anyone know how to solve this?
[19:35] <hdevalence> bpat1434: do you know how to fix it?
[19:36] <Ashfire908> ompaul, i'm not copying dbs.
[19:36] <jonasj> it's not terrible. it's not beautiful either.
[19:36] <leo_away> chymera: 2.6.22-14 in gutsy
[19:36] <hdevalence> bpat1434: or are we mesed up together?
[19:36] <Soflaguy> im in UBUNTU 7.10 in sound preferences pressing TEST - SOUND PLAYBACK, but no sound coming out.
[19:36] <Ashfire908> *tarring dbs
[19:36] <scragar> John: looks a little bland to mt, too much grey, no actualy color(other than the occasional yellow)
[19:36] <ompaul> Ashfire908,  so my first comment counts
[19:36] <scguy318> Soflaguy: what chipset?
[19:36] <Soflaguy> Motherboard:
[19:36] <Soflaguy> Systemboard w/ NVIDIA C51MV w/o 1394 for Bishop - ARIMA
[19:36] <traveller18> stefg there is about 30 gigs of unpartitioned space or at least according to gparted
[19:36] <bulmer> Ashfire908-> i never called you such, i merely ask you to man tar so you get more options, i cant remember them all
[19:36] <scguy318> Soflaguy: what chipset is your soundcard?
[19:36] <bpat1434> hdevalence: we're messed up together :(
[19:36] <John> scragar: Yeah, okay.. more colour. got it :]
[19:36] <Soflaguy> i dont know???
[19:36] <bpat1434> hdevalence: you get it only with the non-gpl'ed repos right?
[19:36] <Ashfire908> bulmer, i did/am looking at the man.
[19:36] <Soflaguy> I though the osund wa sbuilt into the MB
[19:36] <scguy318> Soflaguy: can you pastebin then the output of lspci?
[19:37] <d00m1001> Hey guys.
[19:37] <scguy318> Soflaguy: it is, so I'm asking what chipset it is
[19:37] <John> I'll make reply buttons... maybe add a more interesting background. thanks mate :]
[19:37] <d00m1001> I'm getting an ISO to a CD so I can run a Live Test of Ubunutu.
[19:37] <Soflaguy> Motherboard:
[19:37] <Soflaguy> Systemboard w/ NVIDIA C51MV w/o 1394 for Bishop - ARIMA
[19:37] <d00m1001> Anything I should know?
[19:37] <hdevalence> bpat1434: yeah
[19:37] <Soflaguy> Motherboard:
[19:37] <Soflaguy> Systemboard w/ NVIDIA C51MV w/o 1394 for Bishop - ARIMA
[19:37] <John> okay, i'll change the skin now so you can see the light skin
[19:37] <scguy318> Soflaguy: can you pastebin the output of lspci?
[19:37] <scguy318> !pastebin | Soflaguy
[19:37] <Ashfire908> bderrly, can i use -C in reverse? like to use it to tar files?
[19:37] <ubotu> Soflaguy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:37] <stefg> traveller18: hmmm, so does 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda' run now?
[19:37] <JarG0n> Is Amarok the only audio player that supports PlayForSure ?
[19:37] <scragar> d00m1001: download, burn, use, enjoy - only 4 steps
[19:38] <Ashfire908> Soflaguy, did you check that alsa works?
[19:38] <ompaul> Ashfire908, tar cvf MyArchive.tar /the/place/I/want/to/tar     and tar xvf when you want to unbundle it
[19:38] <John> okay done - http://<IP_ADDRESS>/forum/index.php
[19:38] <Sinlore_> When I'm in the terminal and I try to run the mount command it tells me "only root can do that"... What do I do from there?
[19:38] <[chr0n0s]> JarG0n, what us play for sure ?
[19:38] <Soflaguy> ok will do
[19:38] <John> waddya think of that one ^_^
[19:38] <d00m1001> scragar, I want to see if it has most of the programs.
[19:38] <d00m1001> scragar, that I have already.
[19:38] <scragar> Sinlore_: repeat the command with sudo infront
[19:38] <d00m1001> And then I want to import my files to ubuntu
[19:38] <Kugra> Sinlore_: preface the command with 'sudo'
[19:38] <d00m1001> And then write it to the HD
[19:38] <Ashfire908> ompaul, bulmer
[19:38] <leo_away> Sinlore_: you need to use sudo
[19:38] <Ashfire908> ugh
[19:38] <d00m1001> Or, write it to the HD
[19:38] <d00m1001> and then import
[19:38]  * Ashfire908 hates his keyboard
[19:38] <John> Sinlore_: or 'SU'
[19:39] <Ashfire908> ompaul, bulmer: let me explain what i'm going
[19:39] <JarG0n> chr0n0s> Proprietary windows cr*p i'm sure.  I just need to be able to upload/download from my Sandisk Sansa player, which uses PlaysForSure.
[19:39] <scguy318> John: no, unless he has set a root password
[19:39] <Ashfire908> *doing
[19:39] <scragar> d00m1001: I think the latest version of the live disk can mount your local hd
[19:39] <scguy318> JarG0n: PlaysForSure? isn't that like rootkit spyware or something
[19:39] <JarG0n> chr0n0s> Probably DRM
[19:39] <John> scguy318: who doesn't have a root password :S
[19:39] <traveller18> stefg it says fatal error: bad logical partition: enlarged logical partition overlap
[19:39] <ompaul> d00m1001, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[19:39] <d00m1001> scragar, I only want to do that once I've tested a bootable CD run
[19:39] <John> you shouldn't really have sudo installed anyway
[19:39] <Paul_UK> hey all, i did a suspend yesterday and on resume this morning.  The volume control tells me that there are no sound devices present.  But on restart of the machine or X.  I get the drum roll.  Can anyone help to get my sound back?
[19:39] <JarG0n> scguy318> I wouldn't doubt it
[19:39] <d00m1001> ompaul, I know how to do it.
[19:39] <John> it's a bit of a security risk
[19:39] <jonasj> John: no it's non. that's nonsense.
[19:39] <ompaul> d00m1001, read the web page
[19:39] <d00m1001> scragar, and then I want to setup themes and whatnot, get it working for my ability.
[19:39] <jonasj> not*
[19:39] <cruzer> can somebody help me with wireless on Ubuntu 7.04?
[19:40] <sawyer_> hey all
[19:40] <d00m1001> scragar, and then work towards an HD install.
[19:40] <scguy318> cruzer: sure, whats the problem, and what chipset?
[19:40] <John> what, that sudo is a security risk?
[19:40] <new2Ubuntu> If I would want to extract a tar.gz file (Cairo clock theme ) to my /usr/share/cairo-clock folder what command would I have to enter from the location of where the .gz file is
[19:40] <jonasj> John: yeah. how is sudo a security risk?
[19:40] <sawyer_> i got lost with alsa/esd/jack/pulseaudio and now things don't really work right
[19:40] <bulmer> cruzer-> what have you done so far?
[19:40] <John> hehe, everyone and there dog knows sudo < su
[19:40] <sawyer_> and i have no idea what to do
[19:40] <John> erm
[19:40] <Dr_willis_> Life is a security risk
[19:40] <Dr_willis_> :)
[19:40] <ompaul> d00m1001, you check it out live then alter it after you install the other way is a complete waste of time
[19:40] <cruzer> I used a script on the Ubuntu fourms to work with the Linksys Wusb54gc wireless adaptor
[19:40] <scragar> d00m1001: can't do that, fresh install always installs defaults
[19:40] <John> because any program can just use sudo to get root privilages
[19:40] <scguy318> Dr_willis_: Life is a disease with 100% mortality
[19:40] <scguy318> John: uh no
[19:40] <scragar> d00m1001: so all your changes would be lost
[19:40] <John> in which case running as a user is pointless
[19:40] <sawyer_> and i'm _this_ close to calling a hot line cuz i got too depressed trying to understand it all :)
[19:40] <scguy318> John: the user has to enter his password
[19:40] <cruzer> and the script finished, and no wireless
[19:40] <jonasj> John: it's not a security risk.
[19:41] <d00m1001> scragar, I know
[19:41] <leo_away> John: you need a sudoer password to use sudo
[19:41] <scragar> whoever posted the site link, much better now :D
[19:41] <d00m1001> scragar, but I don't want to isntall it yet because I don't want to erase my current HD
[19:41] <scguy318> sawyer_: pastebin lspci please
[19:41] <scguy318> !pastebin | sawyer_
[19:41] <ubotu> sawyer_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[19:41] <leo_away> John: if you're not a sudoer sudo will not work
[19:41] <d00m1001> scragar, I don't have a large HD so a partition is out of the question
[19:41] <scguy318> sawyer_: feel free to PM anyway
[19:41] <towlie> is there a gui based package i can use to manage samba ?
[19:41] <sawyer_> scent, thanks, sec
[19:41] <ompaul> John, sudo password is the password of an authorised user
[19:41] <muxecoid> Just found a funny localization typo :)
[19:41] <scguy318> towlie: SWAT mebbe?
[19:41] <bulmer> towlie-> swat
[19:41] <d00m1001> What I'll end up doing is just burning stuff onto DVD's, erasing windows and putting ubuntu, and then put it back.
[19:41] <Ashfire908> ompaul, bulmer: i'm trying to tar a drive on my server so i can copy it to another computer. i set up and mounted an nfs drive. currently, the place where the drive i want to tar on my server is /media/array0/drive0/part1 . the location i'm tarring to is /media/serverbackup/c0d0p1/1300_11-4-2007.tar .
[19:41] <Dr_willis_> SWAT- sort of messed up last i used it.
[19:42] <stefg> traveller18: that's what gParted confuses. Hmmm... the partition table is screwed, so drop the idea of partitioning it now. I'd get a backup and completly wipe the drive, after that restore the contents on filesystem level
[19:42] <leo_away> the default user is sudoer, all other users need to be put in the sudoer list
[19:42] <Dr_willis_> !info samba-doc

[19:42] <muxecoid> BTW did you have problems with 3D mode almost not working while nvidia driver is still installed and configured?
[19:42] <Dr_willis_> The samba-doc package has some good books on configuring samba. a must read. :)
[19:42] <Paul_UK> lol seems suspend has broken my ubuntu, there is no add/remove package manager!
[19:42] <ompaul> !caps | cruzer
[19:42] <ubotu> cruzer: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[19:42] <Nino> ciao
[19:42] <leo_away> cruzer: please don't yell. and this is the help channel, not #cruzer
[19:42] <towlie> bulmer once i install it how do i access it ?

[19:43] <scragar> Paul_UK: gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic
[19:43] <traveller18> stefg no other way to do it? i think i messed it up when i tried to partition the empty space the first time and i stopped it midway through by accident. is there a way to just format part of the drive?
[19:43] <Ashfire908> ompaul, bulmer: when i go to tar it, the files are tarred with "/media/array0/drive0/part0" in front of them. i want to remove that. how would i go about doing that?
[19:43] <muxecoid> Anyone having problems with propietary nvidia drivers just not working?
[19:43] <bulmer> towlie-> swat? i guess it will show up on the menu and you can launch it
[19:43] <scguy318> muxecoid: im sure a lot of people have :P
[19:44] <Ashfire908> muxecoid, they screw up my hibernation and suspend.
[19:44] <rkpisanu> hello. is it exists a windows replacement program url snooper ?
[19:44] <towlie> bulmer no it isnt in the start menu
[19:44] <Paul_UK> scragar: failed to run it as root.  The underlying authorisation mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program.  Contact the admin,
[19:44] <new2Ubuntu> If I would want to extract a tar.gz file (Cairo clock theme ) to my /usr/share/cairo-clock folder what command would I have to enter from the location of where the .gz file is
[19:44] <muxecoid> I thought that prop. driver manager jyst works, but looks like it does not
[19:44] <stefg> traveller18: that's a game too dangerous for irc... you could easily loose the whole drive
[19:44] <bulmer> towlie-> start menu? you mean Applications?
[19:44] <towlie> bulmer yes
[19:44] <Paul_UK> scragar: but it isnt a fix.  Where is the icon?  Seems that a suspend has borked my ubuntu!
[19:44] <d00m1001> ompaul, I'll try that.
[19:44] <ompaul> Ashfire908, so, cd /media/array0/drive0/part1; tar cvf /path/to/store/myarchive.tar .    <<< note the dot
[19:45] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: tar zxvf nameoffile.tar.gz
[19:45] <muxecoid> scguy318: Did 3-click installation method work for you?
[19:45] <bulmer> towlie locate swat and once you find it you can launch it
[19:45] <Crazy|One> ompaul whats the . for?
[19:45] <jewbilee> where does pidgin store it iccon?
[19:45] <scragar> Paul_UK: that exact command is the exact command that the launcher from the menu runs.
[19:45] <erUSUL> new2Ubuntu: use the '-C /usr/share/cairo-clock' tar option
[19:45] <blue|palm> hi, is there a newsreader client for ubuntu that someone can reccomend me?
[19:45] <scguy318> muxecoid: yes
[19:45] <scguy318> muxecoid: im guessing it didn't for you
[19:45] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: then you would have to copy all that to the folder you want
[19:45] <scragar> Paul_UK: /usr/share/pixmaps/synaptic.png - icon
[19:45] <traveller18> stefg agh ok, i guess ill just hold off on making a new partition for now
[19:45] <Paul_UK> hey, how many icons are there supposed to be in System, Administration?
[19:46] <Ashfire908> ompaul, ok
[19:46] <ompaul> Crazy|One, the current directory and below
[19:46] <Ashfire908> ompaul, let be try that
[19:46] <Paul_UK> I've currently only got 6
[19:46] <jewbilee> Does anyone know where pidgin stores its icon?
[19:46] <scguy318> jewbille: /usr/share/pixmaps or something
[19:46] <Crazy|One> ompaul ok
[19:46] <muxecoid> scguy318: did not work at all at work machine. With error about missing kernel modules:(
[19:46] <towlie> bulmer i tried but nothing happens when i launch swat in a terminal it just hangs
[19:46] <scragar> /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pidgin.png
[19:46] <new2Ubuntu> leo_away, erUSUL  I tried doing it through the Computer explorer like window but paste isnt allowed I guess due to permissions
[19:47] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: because you need to be superuser to copy to that folder
[19:47] <muxecoid> scguy318: And worked only partially at home :( :P
[19:47] <scguy318> muxecoid: you can try removing nvidia-glx to restore functionality, did you upgrade kernel recently?
[19:47] <muxecoid> scguy318: Any advice?
[19:47] <jonasj> Paul_UK: that's probably because your user doesn't have administration rights
[19:47] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: you can run nautilus as super user doing sudo nautilus from terminal
[19:47] <dooglus> jewbilee: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/pidgin.svg and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pidgin.png
[19:47] <bulmer> towlie what kind of error you're getting if any?
[19:47] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: be careful with what you do while being sudo, you can break your system if you don't know what you're doing
[19:47] <towlie> none
[19:47] <new2Ubuntu> leo_away,  nah Ill learn the hard way, :) Willt ry above commands
[19:47] <muxecoid> scguy318: I'm dist upgrading home machine now, but at work machine it did not work even in gutsy
[19:47] <towlie> bulmer no error
[19:47] <Paul_UK> jonasj, im pretty sure my os is borked lol.  as i can recall more being there.  Sigh, re-install here I come.
[19:48] <scragar> new2Ubuntu: where possible use the gksudo command over sudo for graphical commands
[19:48] <jonasj> Paul_UK: no
[19:48] <bulmer> towlie-> ps aux|grep swat  is it launched?
[19:48] <jonasj> Paul_UK: just log in to an account with admin rights
[19:48] <muxecoid> scguy318: :-/
[19:48] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: the commands i gave you are only for extracting, not for coying
[19:48] <Paul_UK> jonasj, my sound isnt working anymore and my add/remove packages icon is gone as well.
[19:48] <towlie> bulmer nope
[19:48] <jonasj> Paul_UK: that could ALL be because of user rights
[19:48] <jonasj> Paul_UK: you can fix that in two minutes
[19:48] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: s/coying/copying
[19:48] <new2Ubuntu> leo_away, tar zxvf /source/location nameoffile.tar.gz  /destination ?
[19:49] <scragar> Paul_UK: right click on the menu, edit menus, then system at the bottom
[19:49] <new2Ubuntu> thanks scragar Ill keep that in mind :)
[19:49] <sawyer_> is there any way to reinstall the sound server in ubuntu?
[19:49] <jonasj> Paul_UK: how many user accounts do you have on your systme?
[19:49] <Paul_UK> jonasj: but nothing has changed!  ok, let me try
[19:49] <Paul_UK> 1
[19:49] <scguy318> !envy | muxecoid
[19:49] <scragar> Paul_UK: see if it's possible for you to get them back
[19:49] <sawyer_> reinstall it right?
[19:49] <ubotu> muxecoid: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[19:49] <bulmer> towlie-> then that meant it didnt launch, all process should show up when doing a ps aux
[19:49] <Paul_UK> mine
[19:49] <scguy318> muxecoid: you could try it if you felt adventurous about taking risks
[19:49] <jonasj> Paul_UK: no others?
[19:49] <sawyer_> scguy318, i msged you everything
[19:49] <Paul_UK> no
[19:49] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: if the destination is outside your home you'd have to use sudo before all that
[19:49] <Paul_UK> mine and root thats it
[19:49] <towlie> bulmer so what do i do
[19:49] <scguy318> sawyer_: didnt receive, are you identified?
[19:49] <scguy318> !identify | sawyer_
[19:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about identify - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:49] <bulmer> towlie-> where was it installed?
[19:49] <scguy318> !nickserv | sawyer_
[19:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nickserv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:49] <ompaul> muxecoid, and if it breaks you get to take all the parts and put them together yourself again
[19:49] <sawyer_> err.. sorry
[19:49] <jonasj> Paul_UK: : do you see "users and groups" under administration?

[19:50] <sawyer_> scguy318, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43301/
[19:50] <towlie> bulmer i guess the default location. i installed it with the package manager
[19:50] <Paul_UK> jonasj: no
[19:50] <leo_away> new2Ubuntu: yup, np
[19:50] <bulmer> towlie-> i asked you to do a locate, now where did it get installed?
[19:50] <jonasj> Paul_UK: ok. i'll find a solution for you, just wait two minutes, i'm pretty certain you won't need to reinstall.
[19:50] <Paul_UK> jonasj, ok thanks
[19:50] <sebsebseb> I have Ubuntu Gutsy and  when I put a  CD in it wants to open it up in soundjuicer and so it does.  however in both soundjuicer and  Rythombox it seems a lot of the time,  the name of the CD and tracks are not being detected.  I tryed turning off and  on again and logging out and back into the account.  putting the CD in and taking it out and in and out.  and so on.  ,but yep it seems 99% of the time I am having this
[19:50] <sebsebseb> problem regarding the names.  so must be some sort of bug.  any way to sort this out?
[19:50] <scragar> Paul_UK: as I said, try rightclicking on the menu, then choose edit menu's and see if you can enable your options again
[19:50] <towlie> bulmer locate swat returns nothing
[19:50] <scguy318> sawyer_: this is for sound?
[19:51] <bulmer> towlie do an updatedb && locate swat  may take a lil while..
[19:51] <sawyer_> scguy318, it's sort of simple. had feisty. removed esd for pulseaudio and jack. some stuff work, some don't. removed pulse, left with alsa. updated to gutsy and i wanna reinstall esd.
[19:51] <sawyer_> scguy318, yeah
[19:51] <sebsebseb> and since I use last.fm :)  rather important that the players can name the tracks of the CD
[19:51] <scguy318> sawyer_: should be a simple matter of sudo apt-get install esd
[19:51] <towlie> bulmer swat is in /usr/sbin
[19:51] <muxecoid> ubotu: Did you mean that just downloading kernel headers and driver from nvidia.com and installing is still the easiest and most reliable way?
[19:51] <scragar> sebsebseb: try playing one or two, see if the list updates once it starts playing
[19:51] <sawyer_> scguy318, yes did that but i don't have any init.d scripts for esd
[19:51] <Paul_UK> scragar: I enable them and then they automatically disable!  as in i check the box and then its unchecked by the system!
[19:51] <sebsebseb> scragar:  I have done this,  and nope it don't update
[19:51] <sawyer_> scguy318, and problems still exist
[19:51] <bulmer> towlie then in a terminal   /usr/sbin/swat
[19:52] <scguy318> sawyer_: like?
[19:52] <scragar> Paul_UK: intresting
[19:52] <towlie> bulmer i did that and it just hangs. nothing happens
[19:52] <jonasj> Paul_UK: open a terminal and type 'groups' and paste the output here
[19:52] <sawyer_> scguy318, skype gives an "audio capture error", rezound doesn't play anything, audacity can't record.
[19:52] <muxecoid> How does ubotu answer your questions? Keywords?
[19:52] <bulmer> towlie and nothing shows up on ps aux?
[19:52] <Paul_UK> scragar: everything was fine last nite!
[19:52] <towlie> bulmer no
[19:52] <bulmer> towlie i dont know then, you may have to re-install it
[19:53] <Paul_UK> jonasj: paul vboxusers
[19:53] <towlie> what a pos package..
[19:53] <muxecoid> ompaul: Did you mean that DL from nvidia.com and manaul install is still the easiest and the safest way to do it?
[19:53] <sebsebseb> so  for the time being when I want to play a CD on my computer,  with the names being detected, so that the tracks I have listend to can be subbmitted to my last.fm profile.  I will have to resort to using Vista (yes I got a dual boot)  or putting WIndows or another Linux distro in a VM hummmmmmm  geez,  wow that sucks.
[19:53] <Soflaguy> ok I pressed post in UBUNTU pastebin.
[19:53] <jrib> muxecoid: "word" <-> "response"
[19:53] <Soflaguy> now what do I do?
[19:53] <jrib> Soflaguy: tell us the url
[19:53] <ompaul> muxecoid, ubotu is summoned with ! and then the keyword
[19:53] <jonasj> Paul_UK: okay, hang on a second

[19:54] <scguy318> Soflaguy: can you pastebin the output of lspci
[19:54] <Soflaguy> whats lspci?
[19:54] <new2Ubuntu> leo_away, Would this command be right? biju@mallappally:~/Eye_Candy/Screenlets$ sudo tar zxvf ninja-slim-clocks.tar.gz /usr/share/cairo-clocks
[19:54] <new2Ubuntu>  cause I got an error on running it
[19:54] <scguy318> Soflaguy: command in Terminal
[19:54] <franz1789> does anybody use or know iplist????
[19:55] <Paul_UK> cypher__: proxy server?  try squid
[19:55] <scguy318> Soflaguy: pastebin that please
[19:55] <magicrobotmonkey> is there any way to "repair" a ubuntu installation
[19:55] <ompaul> cypher__  a program called squid very easy to use
[19:55] <Soflaguy> i dont knwo what command in terminal is :(
[19:55] <John> it depends on what you're using su and sudo for
[19:55] <jrib> giggsey: you can try 'sudo make uninstall' but there are no guarantees that rule exists.  You need to read the documntation for the software in that case.  Consider using !checkinstall to install things like that since it creates a package
[19:55] <cypher__> is squid allrdy on ubuntu ?
[19:55] <threethirty> magicrobotmonkey: what did you do
[19:55] <ompaul> there is no need to use su
[19:55] <Ilya> Hello :)
[19:55] <magicrobotmonkey> threethirty: tried to upgrade to newer alsa
[19:55] <Soflaguy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43306/
[19:55] <ompaul> cypher__, you can install it
[19:56] <John> if you're using sudo to limit access for programs.. then it's a simple alternative to su
[19:56] <John> however
[19:56] <ompaul> !rootsudo
[19:56] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[19:56] <jonasj> Paul_UK: you need to reboot your machine and choose recovery mode from the boot menu. do you know how to do that?
[19:56] <Paul_UK> jonasj, yes i do
[19:56] <John> if you're using sudo to limit access to guests/non-root-users to do some things a root accout can do, it's not really a good idea
[19:56] <jonasj> Paul_UK: then you need to type a command
[19:56] <threethirty> magicrobotmonkey: I dunno how to fix that, is there an uninstall script with the package
[19:56] <jonasj> Paul_UK:  usermod -aG admin YourUsernameHere
[19:57] <magicrobotmonkey> yea but i've gone far beyond
[19:57] <scguy318> John: isnt that what setuid is for, i guess?
[19:57] <muxecoid> !crap
[19:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:57] <jonasj> Paul_UK: (it's important that the G is uppercase)
[19:57] <Ilya> I have a strange problem. I can't browse some web sites. For example intranet site. It's IP is <IP_ADDRESS>. Mine is 172.21.x.x. Could someone say wht's wrong&
[19:57] <magicrobotmonkey> threethirty: i acutally have my home partion separate so a reinstall wouldnt be that bad, im just not sure how to do it
[19:57] <jrib> muxecoid: please do not do that
[19:57] <cypher__> squid looks like just an http proxy
[19:57] <John> in short - sudo will cause a problem with malware getting root access (unless they can somehow get your password), but it won't stop a non-root account from getting root access
[19:57] <Paul_UK> jonasj, ok let me try that
[19:57] <cypher__> im looking to connect to  IRC though a proxy
[19:57] <jonasj> Paul_UK: once you've done that, press ctrl-alt-del to reboot, and then start up normally and come back here!
[19:57] <cypher__> i have the IP and port allrdy
[19:58] <josh_> please help me! i am having problems in gutsy getting my screen to the correct resolution
[19:58] <cypher__> just need the right app
[19:58] <muxecoid> jrib: Do what?
[19:58] <Paul_UK> jonasj, ok will do
[19:58] <John> So if your the only person using your computer, then sudo is fine :3
[19:58] <evi|one> Hi. I've been reading about the option to encrypt the file system in Gutsy. That everything can be encrypted, *except* /boot. Well, if /boot cannot be encrypted doesn't that mean that someone can take out my hard drive, force a single mode boot and have access to everything?
[19:58] <jonasj> ok
[19:58] <jrib> !fixres > josh_ (read the private message from ubotu)
[19:58] <jrib> muxecoid: play with the bot
[19:58] <Hodapp> evi|one: is the password stored?
[19:58] <muxecoid> jrib: Does it break the normal chat flow and bot-server performance?
[19:59] <threethirty> magicrobotmonkey: you can just put in your disk and install, you'll just have to be careful during the partioning part
[19:59] <magicrobotmonkey> threethirty: right, thats where im unsure of how to proceed
[19:59] <erUSUL> evi|one: if you have a separate boot partition i do not see how they would get access to everytrhing
[19:59] <evi|one> Hodapp: To be honest, I don't really know how that works. I was hoping I'd find more information here.
[20:00] <scguy318> Soflaguy: open up Terminal, type lspci?
[20:00] <muxecoid> !distupgrade

[20:00] <evi|one> erUSUL: by taking the hard drive out, and installing it in another computer.
[20:00] <Hodapp> evi|one: If the password is not stored somewhere there, then there is no way short of brute force to decrypt things
[20:00] <threethirty> magicrobotmonkey: ive never done it before, im really anal about backing up so i never worry blowing a system clean (excluding my server, that is not getting reinstalled anytime soon)
[20:01] <Ilya> Anyone?
[20:01] <erUSUL> evi|one: and then? the contents are encrypted
[20:01] <threethirty> ! partition
[20:01] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[20:01] <jrib> !please > Ilya (read the private message from ubotu)
[20:01] <magicrobotmonkey> threethirty: yea since i just did a clean upgrade i believe i have everything i need still backed up, so itll only take a couple hours to get back to where i am, just wondered if there was a faster way
[20:01] <evi|one> erUSUL: the contents of /boot are not encrypted. So it should boot, right?
[20:01] <Hodapp> evi|one: what
[20:01] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> Guys, Gutsy don't recognize my Windows XP HD. I can't even see it mounted. Any suggestions?
[20:01] <Hodapp> ...what's in /boot besides kernel/initrd?
[20:02] <thomax__> ZaphodBeeblebrox: is it hibernated?
[20:02] <Orion13622> Can anyone help me with changing the boot screen logo on startup (similar to Windows Start Screen)
[20:02] <scguy318> !usplash | Orion13622
[20:02] <threethirty> magicrobotmonkey: im sure that there is, ive just never had to do it before so I have no idea, maybe someone else on here will be more of a help

[20:07] <Soflaguy> i try connecting to my wireless network and ubuntu just freezes after that
[20:07] <Ragewarp> moncky: how so. as in getting the live cd to run correctly?

[20:08] <jonasj> Paul_UK: we can fix that!
[20:08] <jrib> franz1789: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-to-restart-iptables-476464/
[20:08] <jonah> can anyone help fix this please
[20:08] <Ashfire908> how do i set up a module to be loaded at boot?
[20:08] <jonasj> Paul_UK: you need to go to administration->users and groups
[20:08] <Ragewarp> Moncky: do i just add that on top of the current boot parameters
[20:08] <jonasj> Paul_UK: and edit your user
[20:08] <ZaphodBeeblebrox> thomax__: I believe it's sda1
[20:09] <Ragewarp> Moncky: soory fot my nubbishness
[20:09] <jonasj> Paul_UK: and go to the user privileges tab.

[20:09] <new2Ubuntu> Why would I get the error cp: omitting directory `/usr/share/cairo-clock/ArchSlim' on copying a folder to another
[20:09] <jonasj> Paul_UK: you seem to have lost your privileges. the command we just did gave you back the "administer the system" privilege, so now you can add the rest you want from here -- like audio
[20:09] <rsullivan> how do i see what version of X.org im running?
[20:09] <Moncky> Ragewarp: No open a terminal window and type in the command "fsck /dev/hdb" without the quotes at the prompt
[20:10] <jonah> bulmer, no they all just a blinking cursor, then f7 brings me back to gdm

[20:11] <DrJohnston> How do i change which hard drive ubuntu tries booting to?

[20:11] <UmpaLumpa> does anybody know how to toggle this off again?
