[20:00] <wOzza> My problem is as follows..I have a SMB network hard drive. I can see the shares if I use network lookup. but for some reason I cannot mount the share. I want to use Amarok but I guess it needs a mnt to build the collection. I get the following. sudo mount //<IP_ADDRESS>/music  /media/music/ -o username=XXXX,password=XXX,dmask=777,fmask=777
[20:00] <wOzza> mount: Not a directory....  Any suggestions?
[20:00] <MenZa> Darkmystere: wget http://menza.dyndns.org/madwifi.txt && cat madwifi.txt
[20:00] <soundray> arash: hasn't worked -- the additional resolution is just automatically eliminated as unsupported. Do I have to ignore EDID or something like that?
[20:00] <WorkingOnWise> any ideas why the built in media reader doesnt see any cards? the reader is seen by Ubuntu. I tied 2 differant media cards (memory stick (256mb) and sd card (128mb) Both cards do read/write fine in another machine.  if i boot up with the card in the reader, or if i insert it after i am logged in, still nothing
[20:00] <realmer> wOzza: smbmount
[20:00] <john47> Getting a "non-system disk error" upon bootup now - Any thoughts?
[20:00] <arash> soundray: ok, then the problem is out of the scope of my knowledge, Im sorry
[20:00] <tritium> Darkmystere: it's like a private message.  Also, the proper word is "you."  "u" is a letter, not a word.
[20:01] <bkar> john47-> on a liveCD ?
[20:01] <Spee_Der> Deep6, installing now.
[20:01] <fantum13> hello, I can't change ownership of a folder inside my home directory to root. I get an error saying" Operation not permitted" even when I use sudo to do it. Why could that be happening?
[20:01] <Darkmystere> Menza:HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found

[20:01] <soundray> arash: thanks, it was worth a try
[20:01] <wOzza> realmer: so should the command be sudo smbmount ?
[20:01] <john47> bkar: No, when I try to boot up from the HD.
[20:01] <Deep6> Spee_Der: do you have multiple hosts to test with? I'm able to get localhost read working, but not from a remote
[20:01] <Deep6> this is for cacti technically
[20:01] <daniel100119> Hello, is this the right place to get help on bluetooth? I can transfer files from PC to phone but not the other way around. Is there a specialised IRC channel?
[20:01] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: how does Ubuntu "see" the reader?
[20:01] <MenZa> Darkmystere: humm, one second.
[20:02] <duudii> john47: Sounds like a hardware issue... could be fixed with the good ol' reset ;)

[20:02] <Spee_Der> Deep6, yes I do. But for the moment am stuck with one host as I'm re-building the three other Linux computers.
[20:02] <duudii> bkar: how would one fix that?
[20:02] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: when I look in "Device Manager" the reader is in the list of identified hardware
[20:02] <realmer> wOzza: depends how your stuff is configured
[20:02] <Deep6> Spee_Der: well, take a look maybe you can assist....
[20:02] <MenZa> fattmoley: try #miro - ask if there are any known problems with Ubuntu <your version here>
[20:02] <bkar> john47-> i am not sure, but boot off the liveCD and lets start from there
[20:02] <Darkmystere> Menza: OK Continue instructions lol
[20:03] <MenZa> Darkmystere: read what's on your screen.
[20:03] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: what does the device manager say -- is there a manufacturer's name or something like that?
[20:03] <wOzza> realmer I get smbmount: command not found.
[20:03] <Spee_Der> Deep6, I'm studying now....
[20:03] <realmer> wOzza: you could also try mount -t smbfs
[20:03] <The_PHP_Jedi> sup guys. I'm having problems with Ubuntu getting input from my Logitech USB mic. Apparently it does detect it as a new Input Device, but I've only gotten it to receive input once. (or at least get input out to the speakers)
[20:03]  * Spee_Der reaches for another cold one......
[20:03] <john47> bkar: ok, booted to the live cd...loading now...

[20:05] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: that's bad news -- I had a device like that, and there wasn't a Linux driver for it when I last checked. There is something to be said for external USB readers, anyway...

[20:14] <sourcemaker> how can I connected a windows vpn server?
[20:14] <Xintruder> same here
[20:14] <boinker> its always at that low rate

[20:14] <Xintruder> I use a 7400 though
[20:14] <Deep6> argh... I hate /etc/defaults!
[20:14] <boinker> and its noticable on youtube and such
[20:14] <ikonia> bkar: no idea why that would cause issues unless you removed a map for a disk in use
[20:14] <Duke_Fluke> mount -t smbfs -o username=,password=foo //192.168.0.x/share /home/user/share
[20:14] <ikonia> bkar: I would simpley re-apply grub
[20:14] <SuaveIV> menZa: not sure
[20:14] <bkar> ikonia so I put back the original device.map and now am booted
[20:14] <h1st0> wOzza: look what Duke_Fluke wrote
[20:14] <Xintruder> boinker: does compiz crash you computer?
[20:15] <ikonia> bkar: you could try fixing the device.map - but that shouldn't make a difference unless you modified a device that was inuse/required
[20:15] <tinman47> Do you need internet to run Half-Life 1 ???
[20:15] <boinker> plus and i hate this resolution it feels small and to top it off it firefox crashes every now and then
[20:15] <Spee_Der> Deep6, Ok. I was reading the RFC defining snmp v2
[20:15] <h1st0> boinker: do you have video drivers installed?
[20:15] <h1st0> tinman47: no
[20:15] <boinker> nah compiz seems stable but firefox crashes a bit
[20:15] <boinker> yeah
[20:15] <inxistant> ikonia: Well... Tell me how should I behave then...
[20:15] <jetscreamer> if you wanna play online you do
[20:15] <boinker> i got the restricted drivers enabled
[20:15] <tinman47> Sweet. Thanks thats all I needed.
[20:15] <jetscreamer> seems to me it was a multiplayer only anyway

[20:15] <jetscreamer> i forget

[20:15] <ikonia> inxistant: then wait quiet and calmly for a response
[20:15] <Xintruder> boinker: do you know what glx driver you are using?
[20:15] <boinker> yeah i know its just small flickers on youtube.com
[20:16] <MenZa> SuaveIV: I would've stuck to the original LiveCDs...
[20:16] <unagi> anyone want to proofread my email to a company?
[20:16] <inxistant> ikonia: My problem is a quite complicated one... Really... Any expert with hal here?

[20:16] <boinker> nah that i dont know i just enabled restricted drivers by defulat
[20:16] <h1st0> boinker: yeah something is definately wrong then.  Shouldn't be doing that.
[20:16] <bkar> ikonia-> i think its the stage1 that got installed on the mbr is causing this issue, I had a multi os boot, i replaced a second drive and installed ubuntu, boot ok, but putting back the older 2nd drive thats when it fails, so i tried to recover
[20:16] <ikonia> inxistant: a few people are reasonable with hal
[20:16] <SuaveIV> menZa: didn't have any blank CDs, only Blank DVDs

[20:17] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Is there a work Around to the having to disable and remove compiz and x-server to play Regnum Online?
[20:17] <Gnea> hey all, I'm trying to get Micropolis (the new simcity) to work in ubuntu gutsy x86... well, the interface comes up, but this isn't exactly supported software just yet... i get no mouse/keyboard interaction and the only way to stop it is via ctrl-c on the command line or kill -9  ... has anyone else been able to get this game to work?
[20:17] <inxistant> Any experts with HAL please?
[20:17] <boinker> but after i keep going at it at youtube itll crash when i click another video to watch too
[20:17] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: no idea.
[20:17] <Spee_Der> Deep6, I think I need re-boot in order for it to work.
[20:17] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: can you paste it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for me to have a look
[20:17] <MenZa> inxistant: That's a pretty complex topic---I suggest you poke around on the forums or mailing lists, they may give you more help.
[20:17] <boinker> just wish ubuntu had better hardware intregration or whatever u feel me
[20:17] <Deep6> Spee_Der: don't think so, but the snmpd.conf is a bit funky I'll admit
[20:17] <inxistant> MenZa: Thanks
[20:17] <SuaveIV> however, GParted sees the drive as hda
[20:17] <Gnea> boinker: it has excellent hardware integration.
[20:17] <boinker> but other than that things are cool with ubuntu its good man i apprecaite it
[20:17] <Deep6> you'll need snmp walk and friends to test as well
[20:18] <ikonia> Gnea: get support from the software maintainers
[20:18] <Spee_Der> Deep6, I need to read more of the RFC first..... Get a better undersanding that way
[20:18] <boinker> word man it probably does though its fast man ubuntu is fast on my system i wont lie
[20:18] <SuaveIV> hm
[20:18] <Darkmystere_> Menza: If i loggoff ill brb
[20:18] <boinker> just firefox crashes with video sometimes
[20:18] <realmer> inxistant: what is the problem?
[20:18] <boinker> das about it though
[20:18] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51816/
[20:18] <SuaveIV> menZa: would it matter that the first partition on the drive is NTFS?
[20:18] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: good luck.
[20:18] <MenZa> SuaveIV: hmm, I wouldn't assume so.
[20:18] <boinker> but still i love ubuntu its my offical os
[20:18] <Gnea> ikonia: yeah sure, how? their website doesn't have any mailing list or anything like that.. it's totally off the wall, unhelpful and unconventional as far as a website should be... gah
[20:18] <realmer> inxistant: I am no hal expert but had problems after update to gutsy and fixed them
[20:19] <ikonia> Gnea: not ubuntu's issue
[20:19] <inxistant> Realmer: I can't adjust the brightness of my screen...
[20:19] <SuaveIV> well, GParted here doesn't seem to recognize the HDD
[20:19] <boinker> oh and i wont mention the games...(emulators) they flicker too
[20:19] <ikonia> inxistant: use the contols on the monitor
[20:19] <inxistant> ikonia: It is a laptop.
[20:19] <boinker> i seen in windows they run flawlessly almost but in ubuntu it flickers alot and lags and stutters
[20:19] <destructaball> please can someone help me
[20:20] <Gnea> ikonia: this is simcity we're talking about... it's gonna become ubuntu's issue.
[20:20] <tifine> hello
[20:20] <destructaball> my computers completely screwed
[20:20] <inxistant> The only place where it is correctly written is in /sys/class/acpi_video0/actual_brightness
[20:20] <boinker> das why im a lil pissed cuz man this os got potential no lie its just small things messing it up just a bit still i love it lol
[20:20] <destructaball> i can only work on the command line
[20:20] <inxistant> and I can't write in that file.
[20:20] <Duke_Fluke> destructball: state your problem
[20:20] <destructaball> ok
[20:20] <inxistant> That's why I think it is a HAL issue.
[20:20] <destructaball> its sorta a long story
[20:20] <tifine> i want to change the appearence of ubuntu to apple does anybody know any gdm ?
[20:20] <boinker> it'll work out hopefully im hoping they'll fix it and realize it cuz i seen improvemnts like youtube now supports the fullscreen without restarting it all the time
[20:20] <Duke_Fluke> destructball: all  ears
[20:20] <boinker> i got apple on my shit tifine
[20:20] <ikonia> Gnea this is not ubuntus issue or support problem
[20:21] <boinker> das how my screen looks like
[20:21] <boinker> go to google
[20:21] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: that's chock full of call traces from your wifi device. No wonder you can't find anything related to the card reader issue.
[20:21] <boinker> and type in gnome eye candy
[20:21] <destructaball> i read in a forum post that said that if you type something inot the command promp then you can copy things into the root
[20:21] <ReVisions> Gnea: u'r not from gnuil?
[20:21] <destructaball> it was something like eula
[20:21] <tifine> boinker : ?
[20:21] <boinker> go to add/remove and install startup manager
[20:21] <The_PHP_Jedi> sup guys. I'm having problems with Ubuntu getting input from my Logitech USB mic. Apparently it does detect it as a new Input Device, but I've only gotten it to receive input once. (or at least get input out to the speakers)
[20:21] <tifine> boinker : what did u said  ?
[20:21] <MxReb0> hi, I am wondering how /etc/apache is relate to /etc/apache2/ on Ubuntu?
[20:21] <boinker> tifine i have my os to look like mac osx leopard which looks cool along with a dock that looks just like the dock in mac osx
[20:21] <destructaball> and then i changed a setting so that all users could add or remove files from the root
[20:21] <ikonia> MxReb0 apache + 2
[20:22] <inxistant> Realmer: So, yes... The only place where the brightness is coreclt in is is /sys/class/acpi_video0/actual_brightness and I can't write in this file.
[20:22] <MxReb0> I know...
[20:22] <SuaveIV> menZa: so, what might be preventing Ubuntu from seeing the drive, and yet the GParted-only LiveCD sees it just fine?
[20:22] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Ur not leaving? are u
[20:22] <destructaball> and then whenever i tried to start a program it said
[20:22] <tifine> boinker : how u did it ?
[20:22] <boinker> its almost identical except for some programs
[20:22] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: i just did a search in gedit for o2. Even with all the call traces, my wifi works great!
[20:22] <destructaball> the user root does not exist
[20:22] <destructaball> so i restarted i
[20:22] <boinker> go to google and type gnome candy
[20:22] <ikonia> destructaball: yes it does
[20:22] <boinker> hold on ill give u the link
[20:22] <realmer> inxistant: sorry can not help with that, had problems of starting hal
[20:22] <MxReb0> ikonia, there is no confic file in apache2, does it look at apache (1)?
[20:22] <destructaball> and now it only works in command line
[20:22] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: no
[20:22] <MenZa> SuaveIV: good quesiton
[20:22] <destructaball> what should i do?
[20:22] <UBUNTUISLOVED> anyone know how to create a link or a way to forward ports im trying to avoid SSL for gmail so i can use outlook 2003 with wine
[20:22] <ikonia> MxReb0: thats odd
[20:22] <MenZa> SuaveIV: question too
[20:22] <boinker> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[20:22] <Gnea> ikonia: well, sometimes people have used certain software on here, that's all i was asking for.  whether you like it or not, that's the reality.  thanks for the hint though, i'm digging around the site a bit more.
[20:22] <Darkmystere_> Menza:make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
[20:22] <Darkmystere_> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[20:22] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: but any relevant message written about your card reader at boot up has been discarded because of that calltrace flood
[20:22] <Duke_Fluke> db: so you can log in?
[20:23] <tifine> boinker : no but i thought that somehow u can use the gdm so that ur computer looks like apple mac!
[20:23] <ikonia> Gnea: this is not a place to ask for support for that sotware
[20:23] <destructaball> no only command line
[20:23] <boinker> yeah man
[20:23] <boinker> i got that tif
[20:23] <boinker> it looks just like mac
[20:23] <goodhabit> Hello. I want to backup my ubuntu for moving on another PC. How I can do it?
[20:23] <destructaball> not even knome safe mode works
[20:23] <boinker> hold on tif
[20:23] <inxistant> OK. Question 2: Is there any way to tell the system to write a specific value at /sys/class/acpi_video0/*** during the boot sequence?
[20:23] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: can i create a local imap on ubuntu to download with fetchmail my gmail through imap and then access it in outlook2003 in wine?
[20:23] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: you're in the root folder of the madwifi folder, right?
[20:23] <Gnea>  /ignore ikonia all
[20:23] <MenZa> !backup | goodhabit
[20:23] <Duke_Fluke> db: what I mean is when you boot your comp does it give   you  a login:?
[20:23] <Darkmystere_> Oh!!
[20:23] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: ouotlook doesn't support imap
[20:23] <Moduliz0r> guys, I cant get libfaac to work with ffmpeg >_>
[20:23] <ubotu> goodhabit: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[20:23] <boinker> in that link i gave u just type in mac osx
[20:23] <destructaball> yes it does
[20:23] <destructaball> but i cant go any further than that
[20:24] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: umm yea it does im using it with work imap now
[20:24] <ikonia> Gnea: just behave and stay on topic which is ubuntu support
[20:24] <realmer> UBUNTUISLOVED: see ssh -L
[20:24] <boinker> in there search bar and ull find files etc u could download just google how to install gtk2 themes etc and ull learn how to install them its easy
[20:24] <Duke_Fluke> db: so if you type your username and password combo it doesn't work?
[20:24] <bkar> MenZa-> use the redirect > please
[20:24] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: i have an internal wifi thats turned off. it has a bad antenna wire, so I use my pcmcia dlink card. i dont think the internal card is totally "off", and linux kernel wants to talk to it...does that sound possible?
[20:24] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: just looking
[20:24] <destructaball> it works
[20:24] <Gnea> ikonia: get off my back and i will.
[20:24] <destructaball> but then it signs out in less than ten seconds
[20:24] <tritium> Gnea: careful there
[20:24] <Duke_Fluke> db: ok so you can get to a prompt?
[20:24] <ikonia> Gnea: then respect the rules, be polite
[20:24] <destructaball> yes
[20:24] <MenZa> bkar: Yes.
[20:24] <UBUNTUISLOVED> realmer: so i can use ssh -L to forward local ports yea i guess i could do this
[20:24] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Thanks lol Anyways, Anybody knoq how to add AWN Curve to an Already installed AWN the terminal install wont work
[20:25] <Duke_Fluke> db: so you  login and then it logs you off in 10 seconds?
[20:25] <h1st0> WorkingOnWise: disable the internal wifi in the bios then if you don't want it to even be detected
[20:25] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: ok, so I suggest you don't actually want to download the messages as that won't be an imap server running for outlook to connect to (does that make sense)
[20:25] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: not a clue.
[20:25] <destructaball> i dont see anything
[20:25] <bkar> MenZa-> dont flood the channel when you direct someone to a ubutu guide..thanks
[20:25] <inxistant> OK. Question 2: Is there any way to tell the system to write a specific value at /sys/class/acpi_video0/*** during the boot sequence?
[20:25] <destructaball> hold on ill go and log in and copy down the error message
[20:25] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: very much so. If you're not using it, I suggest you remove it. A welcome side effect would be extra battery life...
[20:25] <Moduliz0r> anyone know why ffmpeg won't use libfaac?
[20:25] <Duke_Fluke> db: good idea
[20:25] <foo-nix> I got my sound working using asounfconf set-default-device 1
[20:25] <MenZa> bkar: Please don't talk down to me like that. I'm quite an able helper in here.
[20:26] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: honestly i dont care if i use imap or pop but outlook 2003 in wine doesnt support SSL right now so only gmail is not working but my work is working fine
[20:26] <WorkingOnWise> h1st0: cant. theres a button that i can press to turn it off anf on, next to the power button.
[20:26] <h1st0> Moduliz0r: the ffmpeg that comes with ubuntu is cripled
[20:26] <ReVisions> y0 all
[20:26] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: work email i mean
[20:26] <bkar> MenZa we know, am just requesting you, to please use a redirect > and not |
[20:26] <h1st0> WorkingOnWise: in the bios it can be disabled
[20:26] <destructaball> the error message is
[20:26] <Moduliz0r> h1st0: Well what else can I use to convert flv -> iPood mp4?
[20:26] <MenZa> bkar: I got that message the first time.
[20:26] <Duke_Fluke> drum roll
[20:26] <boinker> yeah tif u can
[20:26] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: i was just thinking of a way to download the emails locally then be able to access on <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:26] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: i could remove it till i get around to replacing the cable.
[20:26] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: basically setup a local imap server to avoid ssl
[20:27] <realmer> UBUNTUISLOVED: hmm that will not work
[20:27] <boinker> my ubuntu looks extactly like mac not 100% though but it looks alot like it especially if u install kiba dock
[20:27] <h1st0> Moduliz0r: you should be able to use ffmpeg if you install it yourself.  But i'm not sure of what other video converters are out there.
[20:27] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: I guess the best way I can think of doing that is to get your email via fetch mail, to a mail server running on your local ubuntu machine, then get outlook to connect to that via say pop3 ?
[20:27] <robertj> is anyone else having problems with metropolis? it compiles fine but terrain isn't showing properly
[20:27] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: how does that sound ?
[20:27] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Thanks a Bundle uve been really helpful now that i cant use Ubotu =(
[20:27] <h1st0> Moduliz0r: I'm sure there is a nother package thats a better otpions
[20:27] <pLr> Moduliz0r: Vixy.net has online conversion :o
[20:27] <foo-nix> !mp3

[20:27] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: You could ask in #ubuntu-ops to have your ignore removed, if you behave nicely.
[20:27] <destructaball> user's $home/.dmrc file is being ignred this prevents the default session and language from being saved. file should be owned by user and have644 permissions. users $home directory must be owned by user and not wriable by other users
[20:27] <Moduliz0r> But I only have offline flv files, and they are about 60MB each
[20:27] <boinker> yo tif u got an email or something so i could show u my desktop...how can i show someone a screenshot withouth displaying emails in this room?
[20:27] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: anyway, back to your problem: with a bit of luck, a relevant message will be in /var/log/syslog
[20:27] <DRebellion> hey, using the command "sudo mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password="" //<IP_ADDRESS>/SharedDocs /home/simrun/smb" i can mount an windows share. how can i tell the system to mount it automatically?
[20:27] <tifine> anybody know any good themes for ubuntu ?
[20:28] <ikonia> tifine: gonme-look.org
[20:28] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: ok yea that makes sense let me try that What is the package name of imap server in ubuntu i already have exerience with fetchmail
[20:28] <ikonia> tifine: gnome-look.org
[20:28] <bkar> DRebellion-> enter same entry into /etc/fstab
[20:28] <robertj> err Micropolis
[20:28] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: that's too big for pasting, so have a look yourself
[20:28] <h1st0> Moduliz0r: I would just search for flv to mp4 ubuntu in google
[20:28] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED dovecot ?
[20:28] <Moduliz0r> I've been trying
[20:28] <Moduliz0r> There really isn't much
[20:28] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: ok.
[20:28] <DRebellion> bkar: in what format?
[20:28] <tifine> ok
[20:28] <h1st0> Moduliz0r: I know the ffmpeg in ubuntu doesn't have the ability to touch flv because of the mp3 audio
[20:28] <inxistant> OK. Question 2: Is there any way to tell the system to write a specific value at /sys/class/acpi_video0/*** during the boot sequence?
[20:28] <CarlFK> is there a gui partition copy tool (mainly so I can see an ETA
[20:28] <tifine> thanks ikonia
[20:28] <bkar> DRebellion-> look inside /etc/fstab and copy same format
[20:28] <Moduliz0r> it can touch flv
[20:29] <boinker> yeah gnome-look.org its the best site
[20:29] <Moduliz0r> i've done flv to avi before
[20:29] <Moduliz0r> just the other day
[20:29] <Pelo> Moduliz0r, you are looking to convert flv to something else ?
[20:29] <destructaball> please can someone help me
[20:29] <Moduliz0r> yes, to mp4
[20:29] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Same problem:cd: 1: can't cd to /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/build

[20:29] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: i used to use on fedora IMAP Washinton University
[20:29] <Pelo> Moduliz0r, search the forum for convertit

[20:29] <Moduliz0r> ok
[20:29] <Pelo> destructaball, we need you to state a problem
[20:29] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED thats fine
[20:29] <destructaball> i have
[20:29] <Darkmystere_> ikonia: Sorry....
[20:29] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: that should work too
[20:29] <destructaball> user's $home/.dmrc file is being ignred this prevents the default session and language from being saved. file should be owned by user and have644 permissions. users $home directory must be owned by user and not wriable by other users
[20:29] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia:  will that be in repos for ubuntu
[20:29] <Duke_Fluke> db: try this:
[20:29] <inxistant> thanks soundray... I'll try that
[20:29] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: hmm, that sounds pretty odd, try asking in #madwifi
[20:29] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: I think it is (have a search)
[20:29] <destructaball> is what it says when i try to log on
[20:30] <h1st0> Moduliz0r: you can also check on getdeb.net for a version of ffmpeg thats optimized
[20:30] <darkkith> i'm setting up a new ldap server on a new vm does anyone know how i can use slapadd to import my db to the new server?
[20:30] <Duke_Fluke> db: reboot into recovery mood
[20:30] <Darkmystere_> MenZa: They never answer me... I wait for like 4hours not 1 person replies to me
[20:30] <Duke_Fluke> mode
[20:30] <destructaball> it doesnt work
[20:30] <destructaball> only command line works
[20:30] <Pelo> destructaball, did you mess around with user permissions ?
[20:30] <CarlFK> Darkmystere_: this may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb
[20:30] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: It has something to do with setting the kernel path variable, but I'm not sure how to do that.
[20:30] <destructaball> yes
[20:30] <Pelo> destructaball, naugthy boy,
[20:30] <Duke_Fluke> then do:         chmod 644 /home/user/.dmrc where user is your username
[20:30] <destructaball> i know it was stupid
[20:30] <SuaveIV> menZa: the kernel version for what I'm using right now is 2.6.22-14-generic
[20:30] <Pelo> destructaball, boot the command line , and type sudo chmod -r 777  /home
[20:31] <bkar> Darkmystere_-> are you recompiling a madwifi?
[20:31] <Pelo> destructaball, I think that whould take care of it
[20:31] <destructaball> i was trying to put songs in some guitar heroe like game
[20:31] <destructaball> kk
[20:31] <MenZa> SuaveIV: Then the bug *shouldn't* apply to it.
[20:31] <UBUNTUISLOVED> realmer: i dont think that would work with SSH because i dont know if it will use SSL auth?
[20:31] <MenZa> Yes he is, bkar.
[20:31] <Darkmystere_> CarlFK: Looking Second
[20:31] <foo-nix> what can I use to query the package management database?
[20:31] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: correct
[20:31] <ignignokt> hey, i need some help with cdrecord/audio cds.  i'm using k3b and 95% of the cds i try to burn fail at some point.  same for any GUI i use.  output: http://pastebin.ca/853805
[20:31] <DjViper> I've just upgraded to 7.10, pidgin is broken, emerald is gone and ccsm wont open, what gives?
[20:31] <soundray> foo-nix: what do you want to query for?
[20:31] <UBUNTUISLOVED> ikonia: i'll go with the dovecot looks like that handles users better
[20:31] <boinker> oh quick question when is hard heron due to be released?? anyone knows??
[20:31] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: nothing at all. I looked at the call traces closer too. they are from my pcmcia card that works fine, no the disabled internal wifi.
[20:31] <Starnestommy> boinker: april
[20:31] <h1st0> !hardy > boinker,   boinker Read the private message from ubotu.
[20:31] <ikonia> UBUNTUISLOVED: dovecot is very easy

[20:32] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: I see. The way forward, then, is probably to reboot without the PCMCIA, and then look at the dmesg output again
[20:32] <Duke_Fluke> orgy: what does fdisk -l report?

[20:33] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Do ur instructions include the Patch?
[20:34] <DjViper> realmer: where can I find those error msgs ?
[20:34] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: what? I've never heard of such a small, efficient, useful tool such as dmesg on Windows.
[20:34] <bkar> ignignokt-> there is the newer offshoot  wodim, maybe worth a look?
[20:34] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: Yes, the patch is downloaded in that file.
[20:34] <h1st0> ogre: you may want to contact teh owner but i'm going to try it now that looks really nice
[20:34] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: that's SVN revision 2756 with the patch applied.
[20:34] <MenZa> 7w 57
[20:34] <ignignokt> bkar: maybe? i'll look into it i guess
[20:34] <realmer> DjViper: start pidgin from the terminal
[20:34] <realmer> start compiz --replace from the terminal
[20:34] <Pelo> destructaball, sorry but I have to go , someone else will probably be able to finish helping you on this,  just tell them you messed up the permisions for your /home dir
[20:34] <Pelo> later folks
[20:35] <DjViper> realmer: yes, and?
[20:35] <foo-nix> soundray: packages needed for mp3 support
[20:35] <ignignokt> bkar: actually according to k3b i'm using wodim
[20:35] <Fade2Blk> hey how do i run icpci to find out if the chipset is installed
[20:35] <ignignokt> in the "programs" part of its config
[20:35] <DjViper> realmer:
[20:35] <realmer> DjViper: look for the errors that appear
[20:35] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Ok so just follow ur Instructions and itl be patch after restart?
[20:35] <DjViper> SSL support is needed for MSN. Please install a supported SSL library.
[20:35] <Duke_Fluke> ogre: have you tried something like mount -t vfat /mnt/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1  ?
[20:35] <bkar> ignignokt-> really? i am not even aware of that, i thought it still uses cdrecord or something like mkisofs
[20:35] <ogre> hist0, its beautiful isnt it? I want to impress my sister who is coming over later today who is linux geek with my beautiful desktop
[20:35] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: no, i mean "remove hardware, reboot, check condition, reinstall hardware, repair problem" I did that a lot with flaky hardware in Windows....
[20:36] <realmer> DjViper: so go to package manager and look for ssl related stuff
[20:36] <soundray> foo-nix: you can use 'apt-cache search keyword'. Also see the upcoming private msgs from ubotu
[20:36] <destructaball> it just says the normal prefix, I have no name!@david-laptop:$
[20:36] <Fade2Blk> hey whats the command to find out if my wireless card is installed
[20:36] <soundray> !apt-file > foo-nix
[20:36] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: should be.
[20:36] <realmer> DjViper: and install libssl
[20:36] <soundray> !mp3 > foo-nix
[20:36] <ogre> Duke_Fluke:  why would I mount something?
[20:36] <DjViper> realmer: okay
[20:36] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: is there a way to over ride the forced fsck after 22 or so reboots?
[20:36] <MenZa> Darkmystere_: I've recompiled my madwifi about 3 times today.
[20:36] <realmer> DjViper: even better google for that exact error message
[20:36] <orgy`> Duke_Fluke http://rafb.net/p/AqUIcU48.html
[20:36] <ignignokt> bkar: check your k3b configuration "devices" section
[20:36] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: tune2fs -c
[20:36] <ignignokt> it says cdrecord: /usr/bin/wodim
[20:36] <ignignokt> i'm gonna try cdrecord :\
[20:36] <BlahingAllDayLon> i decided to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 when i press the mute button i still here sound... plz help

[20:37] <Moduliz0r> ConvertIt failed
[20:37] <Duke_Fluke> ogre: haha my bad sorry I got you confused with orgy? ;)
[20:37] <bkar> ignignokt-> i dont see where that program ..its in Programs ? i seem mkisofs
[20:37] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: please read man tune2fs and be careful with it, you can use it to wreck your data
[20:37] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: thanks. I'm gonna shut down and pop out the wifi and then look at dmesg again. be back soon
[20:37] <Moduliz0r> Nothing in linux seems to be able to convert from flv -> mpeg4
[20:37] <orgy`> Duke_Fluke thats what dmesg gives me http://rafb.net/p/uTimtr39.html
[20:37] <ThipThip> When editing xorg.conf, are changed reflected immediately upon saving?
[20:37] <jaggy> w000w kde4 ftw
[20:37] <Darkmystere_> Menza: Nevermind..
[20:37] <anquietas> Greetings.
[20:37] <tritium> ThipThip: no
[20:38] <zappZap1> hoi folks
[20:38] <nickrud> ThipThip: no, you have to log out and back in
[20:38] <ThipThip> ahh
[20:38] <ThipThip> ok
[20:38] <bkar> ignignokt-> which version of K3B you have?
[20:38] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: k.
[20:38] <ogre> hist0,  the fonts are linked on page 3 of comments
[20:38] <destructaball> ive restarted my comp and it still doesnt work
[20:38] <ignignokt> bkar: 1.0.4
[20:38] <anquietas> Is a complete language package for Irish Gaelic available?
[20:38] <ThipThip> so I have to close all programs and such?  (I'm new to ubuntu)
[20:38] <zappZap1> does any one know here about issues with the ALS300+ sound chip? mine is not working and if've got no idea how to fix it
[20:38] <ThipThip> in other words, I can't just switch users and switch back
[20:38] <ignignokt> someone in #ubuntuforums looks like they might be helping
[20:38] <Duke_Fluke> orgy: I would try a win98 boot floppy or CD and check with scandisk
[20:38] <jcims> if i install 8.04 alpha 3, will i be able to just apt-get to release when it comes out?
[20:38] <bkar> ignignokt-> i see, mine is like 0.12.17
[20:38] <anquietas> zappZap1, I got that one, too. It works perfectly?
[20:39] <ignignokt> ThipThip: no, you need to log out or reboot
[20:39] <orgy`> Duke_Fluke do you know if winxp can do that too?
[20:39] <soundray> ThipThip: no, you have to restart the X server -- log out *all* users to be sure
[20:39] <ThipThip> ok.
[20:39] <ThipThip> brb
[20:39] <zappZap1> anquietas: nope not at all, no sound : aplay -l aplay: device_list:222: no sound card detected...
[20:39] <Moduliz0r> why is ubuntu's ffmpeg so crippled?
[20:39] <soundray> jcims: yes. Any other hardy questions, please ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:39] <realmer> Moduliz0r: http://youmakemedia.com/2006/10/13/converting-flv-to-mpeg-in-linux/ - tried that?
[20:39] <nickrud> jcims: yes, but you'll probably be better off with a reinstall on release
[20:39] <Moduliz0r> thanks ill take a look
[20:39] <bkar> ThipThip if you have a second X login window, you can attempt to have the 2nd user login in there
[20:40] <zappZap1> anquietas: i'm using xubuntu 7.04
[20:40] <jcims> ok, thanks folks
[20:40] <orgy`> well Duke_Fluke thanks for you help ;)
[20:40] <Duke_Fluke> orgy: yes that works too but  open a shell and use chkdsk np
[20:40] <realmer> Moduliz0r: also if ubuntus ffmpeg is crippled just compile your own one
[20:40] <anquietas> zappZap1, interesting. I have had no problems with it for the very beginning. ( I am using Ubuntu 7.10 )

[20:40] <zappZap1> anquietas: how did u get yours to work? i'm now searching for a solutuion the whole evening. which alsa version do u use?
[20:41] <dewd> iwpriv eth1 set_power 5: does anyone know how to make sure this is run anytime the wireless card is initialised (via the wlan switch for instance)?
[20:41] <anquietas> zappZap1, you might wish to look up if driver updates are available...
[20:41] <Moduliz0r> realmer: you say that as if I am good with compiling.
[20:41] <age6racer_> Hey all, I'm having difficulty getting my ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY integrated graphics card to work with direct rendering. Is anyone here a 3D guru who can help me out. I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and the ATI driver
[20:41] <zappZap1> anquietas: where do i do that?
[20:41] <ogre> h1st0:  the icons are linked on page 3 of comments
[20:41] <bkar> dewd-> thats dependent if the driver for your chip supports it
[20:41] <Moduliz0r> its converting to mpeg
[20:41] <Moduliz0r> but iPoods wont play that :(
[20:42] <anquietas> zappZap1, that's a great question. :D Go to the Ubuntu page and look for known issues with Xubuntu and the said sound chip first. Probably yours is listed...
[20:42] <bkar> dewd you can see what your driver supports by just typine iwpriv i believe
[20:42] <ogre> h1st0, its beautiful isnt it? I want to impress my sister who is coming over later today who is linux geek with my beautiful desktop
[20:42] <Moduliz0r> im gonna run XP in Qemu
[20:42] <foo-nix> soundray: thank you.
[20:42] <Moduliz0r> oh god this will lag
[20:42] <dewd> bkar: the driver supports it but it is not an module option
[20:42] <DRebellion> i have "//<IP_ADDRESS>/SharedDocs  /media/homeoffice  cifs  username=guest,password=,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0" in /etc/fstab. what do i change to make the volume read-only for normal users?
[20:42] <dewd> if I flick the switch the option is not activated anymore
[20:43] <Darkmystere_> Well Anyone have a fix for my problem?
[20:43] <bkar> dewd-> oh okay, you have a much much better wifi nic than i, i have an el cheapo..barely supports any iwpriv options
[20:43] <zappZap1> anquietas: can u send me your sound config file, so i can compate it to mine (sorry don't know the correct name for that =
[20:43] <ignignokt> Moduliz0r: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding
[20:43] <ignignokt> pypodconv works really well
[20:43] <Moduliz0r> huh
[20:43] <Moduliz0r> ok thanks
[20:44] <anquietas> zappZap1, are you a registered freenode user? If yes, log in, please.
[20:44] <dewd> so I would need to run it angain .. isn't there some sort of hook system for module loading
[20:44] <dewd> so you can add the option there or something ?
[20:44] <boubbin> can i shutdown the hdd that holds my / -partition, just for a few secs or is it going to hang the system ?
[20:44] <ignignokt> boubbin: don't do that lol
[20:44] <boubbin> :P
[20:45] <spideyman> hey all can anyone tell me if i can manipulate files on my harddrives (they are ext3) from the live cd
[20:45] <boubbin> ok, maybe i boot to live and try some things there.
[20:45] <dewd> bkar: the option (command) does work
[20:45] <theshadow> how do I change it so that ubuntu 7.10 uses Suns JRE and not GCJ?
[20:45] <ignignokt> spideyman: yes
[20:45] <anquietas> zappZap1, I, however, don't know what file you are talking about. I am sorry. :)
[20:45] <Darkmystere_> If u want to know my problem is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51823/
[20:45] <dewd> so the command works, the card supports it
[20:45] <bkar> dewd i cant assist you much, i dont even have options like that to test with
[20:45] <dewd> but when hitting the switch the command is not executed
[20:46] <dewd> I need the command executed when the module loads
[20:46] <nemik> so when trying to boot windows XP from grub on my hd3,0 it just gets stuck forever. has anyone seen this before?
[20:46] <b-wareN00b> hello all
[20:46] <saarblog> hi, how can i install ati-128-pro graphic card in ubuntu gutsy?

[20:47] <Starnestommy> alsadk: in a terminal, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[20:47] <alsadk> then what ?
[20:47] <DRebellion> i have "//<IP_ADDRESS>/SharedDocs  /media/homeoffice  cifs  username=guest,password=,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0" in /etc/fstab. what do i change to make the volume read-only for normal users?
[20:47] <bkar> dewd  would it be not in something like modules.conf  and when you invoke the module  just add the options on same line?
[20:47] <zappZap1> zappZap1
[20:47] <Starnestommy> alsadk: that should make the login screen show up.  If not, hit ctrl+alt+f7
[20:47] <saarblog> please help me, how can i install Ati-128-pro driver in ubuntu gutsy?
[20:48] <dewd> bkar: it is not an option that;s the problem
[20:48] <dewd> it is an command
[20:48] <dewd> the driver _should_ have an option
[20:48] <theshadow> how do I change it so that ubuntu 7.10 uses Suns JRE and not GCJ?
[20:48] <spideyman> ignignokt  my install screwed up cant boot from hard drive so i booted with live cd but now even though qtparted see them i cant acsess them

[20:51] <Darkmystere_> brb
[20:51] <foo-nix> soundray: Well, I though asking people if they know something was offtopic, since I know cmus, and need no help on how to handle it, just wanted you to know of it existance.

[20:52] <Starnestommy> alsadk: run sudo Xorg -configure
[20:53] <SR71-Blackbird> it doesn't seem to detect the Fn key
[20:53] <anquietas> zappZap1, no, sorry.
[20:53] <tritium> SR71-Blackbird: look into the toshset and toshutils packages
[20:53] <realmer> b-wareN00b: there is a special section for switching from windows
[20:53] <jakeg> i've installed ubuntu desktop rather than ubuntu server as my laptop's CPU is too 'old' for ubuntu server. how do i get it now without X at all (i.e. boot to command line by default)?
[20:53] <darkkith> i am noticing some severe lag in 1080p content when i play from my windows box over the wired network..  its 100mbit, will it matter if i upgrade to 1000mbit ?
[20:53] <tritium> SR71-Blackbird: also, fnfxd
[20:53] <noon> bkar says not roaming, CarlFK says roaming. which?  i plan on using a static ip once i get things set up
[20:53] <Creed> !automatix > Creed
[20:53] <tritium> SR71-Blackbird: hint: those were found with "apt-cache search toshiba"
[20:53] <b-wareN00b> hmmm
[20:53] <darkkith> when i play content locally in linux/mplayer it seems fairly smooth
[20:53] <b-wareN00b> cool thanks
[20:53] <soundray> !hotkeys > SR71-Blackbird, please read the private message from ubotu
[20:53] <bkar> noon-> ethernet, you dont roam, roaming is for wireless
[20:54] <fredl> argh, trackerd has gone ballistic on me
[20:54] <noon> okay thanks
[20:54] <bkar> noon do i make sense?
[20:54] <SR71-Blackbird> yeah.. i think I had some problem with the tar balls.. will try apt this time.. old habits die hard
[20:54] <ogre> h1st0:  any luck with that conkyrc?

[20:54] <SR71-Blackbird> tritium, thanks
[20:54] <fredl> just in case anybody is wondering why their disk seems to full, du -ks ~/.cache
[20:54] <CarlFK> noon: do you have wifi ?
[20:54] <SR71-Blackbird> soundray, thanks
[20:54] <h1st0> ogre: not that one because you need all sorts of specific fonts
[20:55] <Nostahl> what does g0S use for file manager?
[20:55] <fredl> for me that directory occupied almost 60% of my disk space
[20:55] <b-wareN00b> my big problem is i installed the x64 bit version and have x64 bit processor, im just having a hell of a time getting flash and java, and not knowing much about Ubuntu or LInux is driving me up the wall,
[20:55] <bkar> SR71-Blackbird-> you're leaking fuel..oops
[20:55] <noon> bkar: yes
[20:55] <h1st0> ogre: i've just begun looking at others.  But if you look on the bottom of the gnome-look link there are comments with people asking for help
[20:55] <b-wareN00b> i tried all the scripts and stuff, etc, and still am having problem,
[20:55] <DRebellion> !flash > b-wareN00b
[20:55] <noon> CarlFK: no
[20:55] <destructaball> i have messed up my program permissions and can no longer log in in anything other than some sort of command line what should i do?
[20:55] <SR71-Blackbird> bkar, hah..
[20:55] <CarlFK> noon: roam = auto setup when you move the box to a new LAN (very typical with a wifi laptop)
[20:55] <alsadk> then what
[20:55] <SR71-Blackbird> bkar, at 3 Mach that can be deadly
[20:55] <b-wareN00b> i think that im going to uninstall this 64 bit and go to 32 bit
[20:55] <ogre> h1st0:  the fonts are linked on page 3 of comments
[20:55] <b-wareN00b> just so i dont have the problems
[20:56] <CarlFK> noon: if you aren't moving the box ariund, no point in roam.
[20:56] <bkar> SR71-Blackbird-> but you're leaking fuel..you know what i meant.. :)
[20:56] <destructaball> the error message i have is user's $home/.dmrc file is being ignred this prevents the default session and language from being saved. file should be owned by user and have644 permissions. users $home directory must be owned by user and not wriable by other users
[20:56] <realmer> b-wareN00b: hmm for me the best way to run flash in 64 bit operating system was to install 32 bit browser
[20:56] <soundray> b-wareN00b: you wouldn't lose much if you're not exactly numbercrunching

[21:05] <realmer> yep just noticed the X now :)

[21:05] <ltlump> so how do I continue on from the "where are you" thing
[21:05] <bkar> i have a multiple OS boot system, with os in different partitions of course including a 2nd hard disk. last install i had includes the 2nd hard disk, but I choose to make the default boot from hda and remove 2nd hd, now it wont book lest i plug 2nd hd back in.
[21:05] <soundray> ltlump: have you made a selection?
[21:05] <ltlump> yeah
[21:06] <soundray> ltlump: is your screen to small for the whole dialog?
[21:06] <ltlump> possibly
[21:06] <kbrooks> how do i reset my config?
[21:06] <ltlump> how do I check

[21:07] <Flare183> DjViper: metacity
[21:07] <ltlump> yeah
[21:07] <Flare183> DjViper: org gtk-window-decorator
[21:07] <worthawholebean> DjViper: metacity
[21:07] <bkar> why would it matter then if 2nd hd is unplugged, it wont boot, my default boot is in 1st hd anyways?
[21:07] <Flare183> DjViper: or gtk-window-decorator
[21:07] <Flare183> sorry correction
[21:07] <soundray> yeah: do you see the bottom of the dialog, or is anything covered up?
[21:07] <realmer> DjViper: gtk-window-decorator under compiz
[21:08] <ltlump> I see the bottom of the dialog, but there might be more dialog
[21:08] <soundray> ltlump: do you see the bottom of the dialog, or is anything covered up?
[21:08] <soundray> ltlump: okay
[21:08] <Byan> anyone have any idea why scanimage -L is failing? sane-find-scanner works
[21:08] <soundray> ltlump: I suggest you use the Alternate Install CD (text mode installer)
[21:08] <DjViper> realmer: how do I edit it's settings?
[21:08] <ltlump> ok
[21:08] <ltlump> thanks
[21:09] <soundray> ltlump: mind you, with anything less than 800x600, even xubuntu might  not be much fun
[21:09] <alsadk> thx
[21:09] <ltlump> yeah
[21:09] <ltlump> 800x600 is as high as it will go right now
[21:09] <noon> okay so I can log in to my router, I have network connectivity, but I cannot load any internet page, ie google
[21:09] <ThipThip> OK I'm new to Ubuntu (about 20 minutes new).  I'm trying to install VLC media player.  The page refers to the player being packaged in "Sarge" and "Etch."  What are these and how do I access the programs packaged in them?
[21:09] <soundray> ltlump: as long as it's not 640x480, it should be okay
[21:10] <noon> and I can also ping google, but not view it in firefox
[21:10] <Jowi> ltlump, you can move a window by holding ALT key and left mouse button.
[21:10] <soundray> ThipThip: you're reading Debian documentation, not Ubuntu

[21:10] <DjViper> realmer: when i click on 'pref' in the Appearance Preferences window -> Visual Effects tab, nothing happens, is this button supposed to start CCSM?

[21:10] <destructaball> ok sorry but im a bit of a noob
[21:10] <soundray> ThipThip: please spend some time with the faqs linked in the /topic
[21:10] <ThipThip> OK.  Thanks.  :-)
[21:10] <Jowi> ltlump, I would recommend using alternate cd installer (text version) instead of the Desktop CD.

[21:12] <joshuamc> nah
[21:12] <noon> bkar: <IP_ADDRESS>, and I am pinging from my client pc.  (im speaking to you from my laptop)
[21:12] <DerangedDelusion> joshuamc - Ubuntu's guided partitioning - use the whole disk should work for you.
[21:12] <Jowi> ltlump, another possibility would be to use a smaller font size (it's in the prefs menu somewhere). smaller font = smaller windows
[21:12] <joshuamc> it isn't working
[21:12] <kevipapo> im running Ubuntu 7.10 on my PowerBook G4

[21:13] <Joe__> my system won't boot, I keep getting init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory, then it dies
[21:13] <joshuamc> it keeps giving me an error last time i tried it

[21:13] <kevipapo> I'm not able to access my Mac OS X partition in Ubuntu
[21:13] <kevipapo> any ideas?
[21:13] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: well, after the reboot, i looked at /var/log/dmesg. still nothing, except an eror from the pcmcia card being gone. I reboot, and then the same wifi card causing all the call traces, I pop in an sd card and it works...Nautilus automaticly launches showing the sd card. I unmount it, pop in a memory  stick and nothing. I pull it out and put in the sd card again, and it works. Wierd. So maybe I just cant read memory s
[21:13] <noon> bkar: just an out of the box modem like a linksys
[21:13] <joshuamc> DerangedDelusion: about to try again and will let you know
[21:13] <DerangedDelusion> OK, when you come back, feel free to PM me and tell me.
[21:13] <joshuamc> DerangedDelusion: it'll be a while though so if you have a link handy in the meantime... :)
[21:13] <kevipapo> anybody?
[21:13] <bkar> noon can you try    w3m  www.yahoo.com

[21:15] <erUSUL> kevipapo: any error msg or some clue as why you can not?
[21:15] <noon> bkar: and now my firefox seems to be working...  My ping command was just 'ping google.com'
[21:15] <kevipapo> yes, there is one, let me try again so i can get it
[21:15] <DerangedDelusion> Sure! My suggestion would be to pre-partition your hard drive with a GParted Live CD, which you can find at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/  - be sure to partition at least 256MB (I recommend 512MB) as swap space, and the rest you can partition as you see fit.

[21:16] <erUSUL> Onyx: why gconf? why not system>preferences>removable media ??
[21:16] <Joe__> my system won't boot, I keep getting init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory, then it dies
[21:16] <Onyx> erUSUL: What's wrong with gconf?
[21:16] <noon> just a one liner, "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[21:17] <noon> bkar: just a one liner, "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[21:17] <bkar> noon is the <IP_ADDRESS> from your router? and i assume that is your router ip address?
[21:17] <erUSUL> Onyx: mare cryptic?
[21:17] <joshuamc> DerangedDelusion: would 500mb swap and the rest ext3 set to "/" be ok?
[21:17] <DerangedDelusion> joshuamc - That's just about my configuration, so I don't see why not.
[21:17] <WorkingOnWise> soundray: yeah. I got what I paid for, but all in all a 17" laptop with  100GB hdd, 1GB of ram, and dvd burner for $500 is ok till I can afford a real laptop!  thanks for the help. :)
[21:18] <kevipapo> erUSUL, did you get my message?
[21:18] <kevipapo> hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 1000
[21:18] <noon> bkar: yeah thats my routers ip
[21:18] <bkar> noon also tell me when you configure your router from a web page, how is the dhcp server on it configured?
[21:18] <scothealer_> hello all..

[21:18] <scothealer_> may i get some help here?
[21:18] <ltlump> how do I reduce my current partition's size to make room for new ones :/
[21:18] <Starnestommy> scothealer_: yes?
[21:18] <LjL> !gparted > ltlump    (ltlump, see the private message from Ubotu)
[21:18] <kevipapo> umm......
[21:18] <bkar> noon and how does your router acquire its ip address from your ISP?
[21:18] <soundray> WorkingOnWise: not bad at all, and maybe you'll get a replacement for the cable that your dog ate ;)
[21:18] <scothealer_> ahh thank you star
[21:19] <scothealer_> i have a few questions...
[21:19] <DerangedDelusion> !gparted
[21:19] <ubotu> GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[21:19] <scothealer_> 2 actually...
[21:19] <kevipapo> erUSUL, I don't think so
[21:19] <LjL> !msgthebot > DerangedDelusion    (DerangedDelusion, see the private message from Ubotu)
[21:19] <kevipapo> never even heard about it
[21:19]  * The_PHP_Jedi <3 gparted
[21:19] <scothealer_> how do i adjust the volume on my system with xubuntu?
[21:19] <noon> bkar: im looking at my dhcp config on my routers setup and it doesnt really say anything. i know my router gets its ip address from some standard method, not ppoe or anything.
[21:19] <erUSUL> kevipapo: run id on terminal and see if appears on the list of groups
[21:20] <kevipapo> ok
[21:20] <scothealer_> how do i get my printer to print my mousepad files?
[21:20] <erUSUL> scothealer_: what are mousepad files?
[21:20] <scothealer_> BTW am ok with PM in need be...
[21:20] <bkar> noon well you have to find out how your router passes the name server to your client, it seems its not passing the correct stuff
[21:20] <reaper> can I get ubuntu to handle large file names
[21:21] <scothealer_> ok mousepad files are the linux version of notepad from windows...
[21:21] <kevipapo> erUSUL: 46(plugdev)
[21:21] <kevipapo> along with some other ones
[21:21] <scothealer_> i have been unable to print them out...
[21:21] <bkar> noon you can also try   digg www.yahoo.com and does it get resolved?
[21:21] <noon> bkar: how do i find that out
[21:21] <bkar> noon from the vendors web site? or manual?
[21:21] <noon> bkar: digg?, command not found
[21:21] <erUSUL> kevipapo: :S then it is somethin else... check on System>Admin>User and groups the properties of your user
[21:21] <Joe__> when I try to do grub-install I get an error /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1 not found
[21:22] <kevipapo> ok
[21:22] <arose> How do I remap stylus buttons, xinput seems to be ignored...
[21:22] <scothealer_> brb!
[21:22] <noon> bkar: dig www.yahoo.com worked. it says some information, and query time 29sec
[21:22] <bkar> noon instead of digg, use nslookup
[21:22] <bkar> right, jesh i can spell
[21:22] <Deep6> bkar: dig is way more powerful than nslookup, and is the preferred method
[21:23] <bkar> noon do you know you ISP's name server address?
[21:23] <bkar> Deep6-> yes, i even mispelled it..heh
[21:23] <noon> bkar: no..
[21:23] <bkar> noon who is your ISP, lets see if we can find out
[21:23] <noon> bkar: comcast
[21:23] <kevipapo> erUSUL: is it because it's an HFS+ partition?
[21:23] <bkar> hang on noon, i have to answer phone
[21:24] <noon> bkar: alright
[21:24] <scothealer_> client-error-bad-request
[21:24] <scothealer_> that is the message i get when i try to print these files...
[21:24] <scothealer_> any help out there?
[21:24] <erUSUL> kevipapo: no; for some reason the automatic method is rejecting your uid=1000 is your user
[21:24] <kevipapo> yeah, uid 1000 is my user
[21:24] <erUSUL> kevipapo: i bet you can mount the partiton manually from command line
[21:25] <kevipapo> so.....
[21:25] <vinicius_> after I did the upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy (and a few installations and configurations), every time I login, after typing username and password on GDM, the system popups a window saying in portuguese "no language pt_BR available", or something like that... how can I know wich program is popping up this window? it does not really deny me of using everything normally, but it's annoying...
[21:25] <kevipapo> mount /dev/hda3?
[21:25] <tritium> vinicius_: #ubuntu+1 for hardy support
[21:25] <erUSUL> kevipapo: sudo mount -t hpfs /dev/hda3 /mount/point
[21:25] <john47> <</msg ubotu !etiquette>>
[21:25] <vinicius_> tritium, thanks! but I don't thing it's a hardy-only propblem
[21:25] <john47> oopd
[21:25] <john47> hello,
[21:26] <tritium> vinicius_: you say it happened upon the upgrade.  Hardy is still in development.
[21:26] <scothealer_> request permission to PM anyone that wants to help me with printer problem!
[21:26] <kevipapo> erUSUL, sudo mount -t hpfs /dev/hda3 /mount/point

[21:27] <bkar> john47-> you were able to burn a good liveCD?
[21:27] <noon> bkar: okay, which info do you need. it worked.  (btw...yahoo.com loads in ff now, but no other site besides it and google)
[21:27] <erUSUL> kevipapo: you have to use an actual dirctory as mount point that's where your files will appear
[21:27] <soundray> !install > thetom: there are relevant links on the install page -- please see ubotu's private message
[21:28] <bkar> noon you name server is not working right
[21:28] <scothealer_> ok...looks like no help here...thanks

[21:29] <noon> bkar: okay it worked
[21:29] <Confidentia1> im currently using normal ubuntu, with gnome. Now I kinda want to try the new KDE4. Would it be more stable if I installed kubuntu for itself with KDE4, or is it almost the same as just installing it on my current ubuntu install?
[21:29] <erUSUL> reaper: which filesystem that kind of limit is fs dependant
[21:29] <bkar> noon use that as your nameserver instead of <IP_ADDRESS>

[21:52] <lwizardl> no
[21:52] <WorkingOnWise> a few days ago I was messing around with setting different fonts in the virtual consoles. I was using a guide i found somewhere that spoke of framebuffer and such. forgive the vagueness. If I remembered what or where the guide was, I could undo my mess myself  :) My mess is this. al my virtual consoles, I have a black screen with a few white lines steaking horizontally. Sometimes whan I do alt-f1 thru f6, I can see text, bu

[21:52] <hakon_> i tried
[21:52] <bkar> noon ok
[21:52] <john47> Seveas: So, should I try to install feisty over the gutsy install with a live CD?
[21:52] <lwizardl> 2.6.22-14-rt i have  UDF-2.50_linux-2.6.20.patch

[21:54] <duudii> john47: is your X server failing or what?

[21:54] <hakon_> how do i change language in terminal. i would like it to give error messages in english
[21:54] <erUSUL> lwizardl: you will need the patch for the ubuntu kernel (2.6.22) and as a said you will have to recompile the whole kernel once applied the patch to the kernel sources. not an easy task for the unexperiencer

[21:55] <Starnestommy> vivicrow: curl?
[21:55] <Flannel> vivicrow: Whats wrong with wget?
[21:55] <punkshui> I asked a question earlier about loading music from an ipod to a hard disk location. i've recently found a great application called "Floola" if anyone else is trying to do the same thing check it out.
[21:55] <Blissex> WorkingOnWise: that's not a font issue.
[21:55] <NaNO2x> anyone know why pkg-config wouldn't be able to find gtk?
[21:55] <andax> erUSUL: this model has 32MB onboard and two slots. One module with 64MB, one with 128MB in these slots. So it should be 224MB alltogether.
[21:55] <lwizardl> erUSUL, thats fine but how do i apply the patch so that i can later recompile
[21:55] <vivicrow> thanks, i will try curl
[21:55] <Blissex> vivicrow: there are very many. Check FreshMeat.net
[21:55] <Starnestommy> NaNO2x: I think it's libgtk
[21:56] <john47> duudii: I can't boot from a gutsy live cd.  After the boot screen, all I get are I/O errors
[21:56] <NaNO2x> here is the error i'm getting http://rafb.net/p/licrD119.html
[21:56] <Flannel> reaper: why do you need longer file names?
[21:56] <vivicrow> i was trying to download a pdf file...for the same http address, firefox download the pdf file, but wget only gets me the html...
[21:56] <erUSUL> lwizardl: use the patch command... usually from the sources directory is 'patch -p1 < file.patch'
[21:57] <andax> . o O ( according to the calculator )

[21:57] <Flannel> vivicrow: you're downloading the wrong one.  The website has an http which redirects to the PDF.  curl won't help in that regard, although if you look at the html, you should see.

[21:57] <ThipThip> I've only been using Ubuntu a few hours, and I LOVE IT! :-)
[21:57] <ThipThip> However, I have another question
[21:58] <ThipThip> At present, my computer has both XP64 and Ubuntu
[21:58] <rbs-tito> !ask | ThipThip
[21:58] <ubotu> ThipThip: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[21:58] <ThipThip> OK sorry :)
[21:58] <duudii> john47: by bootscreen you mean grub? or the ubuntu login screen?
[21:58] <rbs-tito> ThipThip: No worries ;)
[21:59] <Flannel> reaper: for wget?  filenames aren't the same as the path.  If you'd help explain the problem, we might be able to help find a solution, since no OS supports filenames longer than 255.  Reiser4 is the only FS that does, but I'm unawareof any OS that'll let you
[21:59] <ThipThip> At present, my computer has both XP64 and Ubuntu and when it boots without the ubuntu CD, it crashes - gives a "Error Loading Operating System" question.  However, with the Live CD, if I choose "Boot from First Hard Drive," it works fine.  I surmise that this is because windows, not ubuntu, is in the primary partition.  What can I do to solve this?

[21:59] <Sonicadvance1> question, upon boot of my laptop, I'm getting a ton of sysctl errors saying things similar to "sysctl_table check failed: /etc/ath .7.9 Unkown sysctl binary path". What is it trying to do, and how do I fix it?
[21:59] <john47> duudi: I get to the screen that says "start or install ubuntu" and then I click that, but then the screen goes dark and I get a bunch of I/O errors.  I can't boot from the HD because i get a system disk error.
[22:00] <slliness> hey where is my create url in right click menu on desktop in 7.10?
[22:00] <Starnestommy> reaper: are you using the -O option to specify an output file?
[22:00] <josiah> is there no easy way to share a folder with samba?

[22:00] <bkar> noon|->  i can not get a pm
[22:00] <Starnestommy> hakon_: unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix it
[22:01] <reaper> Starnestommy, can't use -O with -r
[22:01] <hakon_> Starnestommy: Should i just change to another linux?
[22:01] <hakon_> like kubuntu?
[22:01] <Darkmystere> Anybody got a sulotion yet?
[22:01] <Starnestommy> hakon_: try recovery mode using aptitude
[22:01] <duudii> john47: sounds bad! i don't think i know how to help, sorry
[22:01] <WorkingOnWise> Blissex: I know. It's got something to do with either frame buffer in a terminal, or maybe terminal resolution settings, I think. but I cant find anything now to help me undo my mess...
[22:01] <john47> duudi: I took the advice of Jack_Sparrow and typed F6 at the Ubuntu live CD bootscreen and typed "remove quiet splash" (shot in the dark) and I was indeed able to reach the X windows environment.  It's now running from the Live CD.  Any thoughts on what I can do now?
[22:01] <hakon_> Starnestommy: how do i do that?
[22:02] <Darkmystere> Can anybody help me
[22:02] <Starnestommy> hakon_: other than that, I'm out of ideas.  When you reboot, select the "recovery mode" option on the grub boot mwnu
[22:02] <Starnestommy> *menu
[22:02] <josiah> Seveas: Ok. I have everything set up correctly in here (from what I can tell) but I am still not seeing the share on my windows machine.
[22:02] <Blissex> WorkingOnWise: it is very unwise to have two drivers both manage the same device. So for example to use both a kernel frame buffer driver and an X driver (unless that is 'fbdev') is not a good idea.
[22:02] <hakon_> Starnestommy: what is grub boot menu?
[22:03] <jetscreamer> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:03] <nownot> im trying to install ruby on rails and its been Attempting remote installation of 'rails' Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org for over a hour now
[22:03] <Starnestommy> hakon_: it's the menu when you start up that says something about ubuntu on it
[22:03] <Blissex> WorkingOnWise: if you use any X driver other than 'fbdev' it is much safer not to use *any* console driver other than the default (or sometimes VESA).
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> john47: are you at cli?  "DOS" equivalent
[22:03] <hakon_> ok, brb ill try your suggestion
[22:03] <HanifB> hows this for an email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Hanif is my first name, bh are the first two letters of my last name.
[22:04] <Blissex> WorkingOnWise: it is particularly bad to use 'rivafb' at the kernel level and the NVIDIA proprietary driver under X.
[22:04] <lwizardl> erUSUL, have you done this before
[22:04] <lwizardl> ?
[22:04] <john47> Jack_Sparrow: Your trick worked!  I typed "remove quiet splash" after hitting F6 at the login screen for the Live Cd.  Now I am into Ubuntu with the desktop.  My question is: now what?
[22:04] <erUSUL> lwizardl: patch and recompile a kernel? yes i have
[22:04] <andax> erUSUL: yes, it is negligible. Okay.
[22:04] <LjL> HanifB: how it is? full of spam, after posting it on an logged IRC channel. anyway, i don't see how it's relevant to the topic of this channel
[22:04] <HanifB> lol
[22:04] <HanifB> just wanted suggestions
[22:04] <bkar> noon remove that metric 100
[22:04] <WorkingOnWise> Blissex: wel, I just want to take things back to "normal", but cant for the life of me find what I changed. where do I check to see what console drivers I'm using?
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> john47: DO you see an icon for install...  if that is what you want to do of course
[22:04] <lwizardl> erUSUL, ok so i move the patch to which folder inside the source dir
[22:05] <HanifB> LjL: most gmail usernames are taken unfortunately
[22:05] <noon|> bkar: how
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> john47: Or just look around and get a feel for it..
[22:05] <LjL> !ot | HanifB

[22:05] <LetterRip> hi all - i get a large number of wakeups from sleep on my laptop - here is the results from powertop
[22:05] <LetterRip> http://pastebin.com/m546baeb8
[22:05] <Blissex> WorkingOnWise: 'lsmod' would help. Problem is you must know the names of the console driver.
[22:05] <john47> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, everything is there, but do I want to re-install 7.1?  Servaes wrote that there is a kernel problem and I should load Feisty instead of Gutsy.
[22:05] <LetterRip> extra timer interrupt is the biggest culprit
[22:05] <erUSUL> lwizardl: the patch file can be anywhere but the patch command have to be called from the top dir of the linux kernel sources
[22:05] <bkar> noon have you visited your router's vendor web site yet? look at their how to configure your router?
[22:05] <johnsky> Greetings from Ottawa
[22:06] <LetterRip> and idea how to make it sleep longer?
[22:06] <josiah> Seveas: ok it just took a while. I now see my computer in windows... but it is asking for a user/pass... and not accepting. Cant I just make the share available to anybody on the network rw?
[22:06] <Duke_Fluke> johnsky: Hello
[22:06] <john47> Jack_Sparrow: Or do I simply need to repair something with GRUB perhaps?
[22:06] <kane77> what bot is ubotu?
[22:06] <Duke_Fluke> from Edmonton
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> john47: If you had gutsy running .. I would reinstall it.. if you were having issues.. then switch to feisty..   game back on...
[22:06] <alexis_> question, how can i see other computers in the same network?
[22:06] <lwizardl> erUSUL, i always get error on patch
[22:07] <_hakon_> What was i supposed to type in recovery mode?
[22:07] <johnsky> How are you Duke_Fluke?
[22:08] <john47> Anyone have any advice on how to install Feisty over a pre-existing (but badly performing) Gutsy install?
[22:08] <Duke_Fluke> Good ty
[22:08] <erUSUL> lwizardl: did you dled the linux kernel sources?
[22:08] <alexis_> question, how can i see other computers in the same network?\

[22:08] <sqrt2> hi there
[22:08] <samjiman> hi
[22:08] <_hakon_> how do i install vlc in terminal?
[22:08] <robobob> hey
[22:08] <Volkodav_> I installed nvidia drivers, set up xorg via nvidia-setting and I have no window bars on my first screen
[22:08] <alexis_> question, how can i see other computers in the same network?\
[22:08] <sqrt2> i'm experiencing a strange problem with my WPA-encrypted wireless network
[22:09] <robobob> sudo apt-get install vlc
[22:09] <ThipThip> How can I see hidden folders and files (such as .mozilla)?
[22:09] <Duke_Fluke> _hakon_: Im gonna guess" sudo apt-get install vlc"
[22:09] <sqrt2> i have configured the psk etc. in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:09] <erUSUL> lwizardl: humm maybe the patch do not need the -p1 flag...
[22:09] <andax> ThipThip: ls -a
[22:09] <Volkodav_> Also I need to swap screens
[22:09] <robobob> hey err i have an sd card and i cant get it out of read only mode ????
[22:09] <johnsky> Pretty good Duke_Fluke
[22:09] <UltraMagnus> hi, i have a question... how do i enable tv out on my nvidia card? i have the special nvidia 8 series drivers installed
[22:09] <sqrt2> when the system boots, dhcp doesn't work and the interface gets a link-local ip address
[22:10] <john47> ThipThip: I know the answer to that one, at least - Ctrl-H in Nautilus.
[22:10] <sqrt2> but when i manually do ifdown and ifup, it works
[22:10] <erUSUL> lwizardl: reinstall the kernel sources and try with 'sudo patch -p1 --dry-run < /path/to/file.patch'
[22:10] <Duke_Fluke> johnsky:must be nice having three guys on your hockey team in the top  20 in scoring
[22:10] <_hakon_> did not work, got message: some pacages could not be install
[22:10] <robobob> hey err i have an sd card and i cant get it out of read only mode ? can anyone help
[22:10] <ThipThip> awesome - thank you
[22:10] <_hakon_> what can i type i stead of apt-get?
[22:10] <sqrt2> i cannot see anything in the logs that would have changen between the automatic dhcp request and my manual one
[22:10] <WorkingOnWise> Blissex: if i knew what console driver to use, how would i change it?
[22:10] <Flannel> robobob: is it physically set to read only? (the little switch on the card)
[22:10] <sqrt2> does anybody have an idea where the problem could be?
[22:10] <robobob> no
[22:11] <ThipThip> Can anyone help me with this boot manager issue?  I cannot boot from the hard disk unless I use the Live CD, in which case I can boot into either Ubuntu or Windows just fine
[22:11] <Duke_Fluke> _hakon_: What?
[22:11] <erUSUL> lwizardl: the --dry-run is to tall patch to do not actually apply the patch just in case there is some error when the patch applies without errors
[22:11] <robobob> ive tried it both up and down
[22:11] <Blissex> WorkingOnWise: well, the best way would be to blacklist at the 'udev'/module loaded level.
[22:11] <erUSUL> lwizardl: you can run the comand again without that flag
[22:11] <Flannel> ThipThip: You'll need to reinstall grub (stage 1), see the first link on !grub
[22:11] <Duke_Fluke> _hakon_: you could try and download   platform independent binary form the main vlc site or compile the source yourself
[22:11] <lwizardl> sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot build-essential
[22:11] <Johnson> how can i tell if i have java 5
[22:11] <lwizardl> is what i use
[22:11] <samjiman> anyone know where I can get the Industrial icons as found in openSUSE?
[22:12] <heartsblood> I've somehow lost the ability to resize my totem window.  It's stuck in Fullscreen and window mode -except I dont have a title bar.  Any ideas?
[22:12] <ThipThip> !grub
[22:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[22:12] <_hakon_> that is a good idea... any idea what language it is written in?
[22:12] <sqrt2> Johnson: java -version
[22:12] <ThipThip> Is there an alternative boot manager I might consider?
[22:12] <Duke_Fluke> lilo
[22:12] <heartsblood> lilo is a pain in the ass ><
[22:12] <alexis_> question, how can i see other computers in the same network?\
[22:13] <Duke_Fluke> funny have never had lilo  try to rape *ME*
[22:13] <Duke_Fluke> ;)
[22:13] <Flannel> ThipThip: You can boot to SBM (smart boot manager)
[22:13] <UltraMagnus> hi, i have a question... how do i enable tv out on my nvidia card? i have the special nvidia 8 series drivers installed
[22:13] <ThipThip> Are there distinct advantages or disadvantages to a different boot manager?
[22:13] <Duke_Fluke> grub is WAY more flexible than lilo
[22:13] <Flannel> ThipThip: but if you go that route, you'll have two menus to go through.  SBM will boot to GRUB
