[02:58] <kakaruto> ziroday ok
[02:58] <antitab> ubotu: he said it first
[02:58] <Pantozopoulos> what is jfgi?
[02:58] <Kerttuli_> antitab: where is xonrg.conf?

[02:58] <Kerttuli_> antitab: ty mate
[02:58] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: :) google is your friend...
[02:58] <antitab> what the hell are you talking about
[02:58] <ni1ptr> I fixed my resolution problem, by removing the 24 bit color settings, since the card really supports only 16, bounced the X and woohoo
[02:58] <Pantozopoulos> MrKeuner: yes
[02:59] <ziroday> !fixrs | kertulli_

[02:59] <ubotu> MrKeuner: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[02:59] <antitab> oh, installer
[02:59] <gvsa123> Jordan_U: nothing is listening because there aren't any applications installed that need to listen? did i get that right?
[02:59] <antitab> yeah
[02:59] <MrKeuner> yes! thanks guys
[02:59] <Pantozopoulos> MrKeuner: Download http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi to your system32 directory and delete everything else in there
[02:59] <antitab> panto: lmao
[02:59] <Pantozopoulos> then reboot
[02:59] <Jordan_U> gvsa123, Yes
[02:59] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: yeah... even found out what it was before you sent your last message... lol
[03:00] <aladdine> Jordan_U,
[03:00] <Geek_> MrKeuner: ignore what Pantozopoulos said
[03:00] <gvsa123> Jordan_U: thanks... :)
[03:00] <Jordan_U> gvsa123, Well there is ICMP, but that just basically means that it will respond to a ping :)
[03:00] <Pantozopoulos> no ignore what geek_ said
[03:00] <MrKeuner> Geek_: thanks, I was aware of that
[03:00] <Pantozopoulos> my name is longer and more fantastic
[03:00] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: basically, if no services are started that are listening, there needs to be a flaw in the network driver to penetrate the system
[03:00] <ziroday> Pantozopoulos: ubuntu offtopic please
[03:00] <antitab> indeed
[03:00] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: makes it just a little difficult
[03:00] <Geek_> MrKeuner: wubi works great. just remember that if you shutdown your linux system uncleanly, bad stuff might happen

[03:01] <Pantozopoulos> Whether or not it's bad depends on what you want

[03:02] <ziroday> thank you PriceChild

[03:02] <GNine> he was
[03:02] <leo_rockw> i have a very weird problem with grub. i added "profile" to menu.lst and now i can't remove it. if i do half my daemons and kde won't load.
[03:02] <PriceChild> GNine, lets move on.
[03:02] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: very difficult... more likely that someone will break into your house and steal the computer
[03:03] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: and the actual need to have a firewall comes from applications being installed that listen for connections from the outside?
[03:03] <blix> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[03:03] <Geek_> MrKeuner: te issue is cause wubi installs ubuntu to a disk image, which is mounted by grub. in my experience this was a little fragile, though was easy to back up, and i intend to try a restore process next tie **** happens
[03:03] <blix> how do I unlock dpkg?
[03:03] <Bo3> can i get kool game download link for ubuntu???
[03:03] <Pantozopoulos> blix: sudo chmod 777 -R /
[03:03] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: without those applications, you don't really need a firewall?
[03:03] <blix> thaks Pat
[03:03] <Jordan_U> !ops
[03:03] <MrKeuner> Geek_: if the user likes ubuntu, do they have the chance to erase windows and keep their ubuntu installation?

[03:03] <PriceChild> Jordan_U, ?
[03:03] <Jordan_U> blix, DO not do that!
[03:03] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: exactly... most intrusions occur by using the application flaws (read: bugs) or the listening services on the target computer
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> wubi can really make a mess of a system
[03:03] <troubled> Jordan_U: ?
[03:04] <Geek_> MrKeuner: yeah, the howto on that is linked on the wubi page
[03:04] <PriceChild> arg thanks
[03:04] <Jordan_U> PriceChild, Pantozopoulos
[03:04] <blix> I just did...
[03:04] <Geek_> Jack_Sparrow: in what way?
[03:04] <jamiej> anyone got pulse working with skype.
[03:04] <blix> it didn't allow me to do it anyway
[03:04] <Geek_> lol
[03:04] <Hobbsee> blix: you're running dpkg somewhere else - or apt, or aptitude, or synaptic, or adept
[03:04] <GNine> i used wubi.  am still here
[03:04] <Bo3> jordan_u:can u send me a link for good games for ubuntu
[03:04] <Jordan_U> PriceChild, I would watch antitab also
[03:04] <Geek_> he forgot you need tp run it as root
[03:04] <MrKeuner> Geek_: thanks, and lastly and do users have the chance to import their settings and files into ubuntu?
[03:04] <Jordan_U> !games | Bo3
[03:04] <Hobbsee> Bo3: look in the repositories
[03:04] <ubotu> Bo3: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[03:04] <blix> Hobbsee: Let me check.
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Geek_: I will try to find the link.
[03:04] <Geek_> MrKeuner: no idea i'm afraid, i did it on a fresh system when i was testing something
[03:05] <blix> so if I wanted to install ntfs-3g...how do I do it with dpkg
[03:05] <blix> dpkg -i ntfs-3g appears to fail
[03:05] <Jordan_U> blix, You mean apt-get?
[03:05] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: interesting... aren't services designated certain ports only? meaning those ports are set to be open right? how does the firewall help there? it only allows that and only that service to use that port?
[03:06] <blix> well apt-get or dpkg
[03:06] <Jordan_U> blix, dpkg is for installing packages you have already downloaded
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Geek_: http://thedarkmaster.wordpress.com/2007/08/18/wubi-will-say-goobye-to-microsoft-not-really/
[03:06] <blix> ah right..
[03:06] <blix> then I need apt-get
[03:06] <Jordan_U> !apt > blix
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Geek_: Beyond usless... reaching dangerous
[03:07] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: in windows, there are a dozen (often vulnerable) services that are listening (read open) on several ports. The firewall in this case would prevent direct exposure to those ports
[03:07] <lumoha> hi folks. i am a tribe5 user. Since upgrading my system from feisty to gutsy, i got issues with vmserver. Does anyone here run vmware on gutsy 2.6.22-10?

[03:08] <ubotu> lumoha: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> gvsa123:  jeffferrari  A good place to check vulnerabilities is grc.com... do the shields up port scan....
[03:08] <Bo3> ubotu:i have a hardware "e-GeForce FX5200" does ubuntu support it?
[03:08] <GreyGhost> !path
[03:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about path - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:08] <ziroday> b03very likely
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Bo3: YEs
[03:08] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: direct exposure to other apps aside from the one that legitimately has the right to use it?
[03:08] <GreyGhost> !libraries
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libraries - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <GreyGhost> hmm ..
[03:09] <GreyGhost> any idea why /usr/local/lib is not in default lib path?
[03:09] <GNine> !nv Bo3
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nv bo3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <blix> right, just used apt-get to download ntfs-3g...and that cannot be found...arrgh
[03:09] <SuPeRhAm> [23:08]  <Bo3> ubotu:i have a hardware "e-GeForce FX5200" does ubuntu support it? - i may not be ubotu, but i know any nvidia based card is support in ubuntu

[03:09] <ubotu> Bo3: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:09] <oDesk> how i add /opt/lampp/bin/  to be considered as system PATH
[03:09] <gvsa123> Jack_Sparrow: thanks. i also tried one of the other services, but that wasn't it though... thanks.
[03:09] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: no avoiding direct exposure from the internet - agreed with jack, grc's port scanner is excellent
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:10] <Bo3> Jack_Sparrow: 2 more thing does it support "sound blaster audigy"
[03:10] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: also google nmap
[03:10] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: i see.. i'll give that a try now. thanks again.
[03:10] <GNine> !sound
[03:10] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[03:11] <bulmer> oDesk: perhaps /etc/login.defs
[03:11] <Bo3> what about "sound blaster audigy" hardware
[03:11] <gvsa123> chendo``: i don't.... lol
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: did you apt-get update ?
[03:12] <blix> OK, I'm desperate to get this fixed...I'm going on vacation in 3 days..
[03:12] <GNine> ur fired
[03:12] <Bo3> ahahah
[03:12] <blix> jack_Sparrow: I just did install
[03:12] <Vlet> Why can't I get into my /media/sda1/documents\ and\ settings\my_username folder? all the user foders inside there are gone when mounted in ubuntu
[03:13] <GreyGhost> anyone with idea about /usr/local/lib ?
[03:13] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: check it out. but it's the basics of how they work that i think i should first understand. :)
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Sorry, I got the impression from your post that the install failed.. sorry, still very eraly am here.
[03:13] <Bo3> ok guys am going 2 installsound blaster audigy hardware and geforce. if everything goes good then ill be backin chat room
[03:13] <leo_rockw> Vlet, are you using capitals where needed?
[03:13] <blix> jack_Sparrow: thats ok, update appears to be updating
[03:14] <nandemonai> Vlet: What filesystem and are you sure your mounting correctly?
[03:14] <oDesk> bulmer: thanks
[03:14] <blix> I guess I should apt-get install now right?>
[03:14] <Vlet> leo_rockw: Yes.
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Wasn't there some other part to that tool like.  ntfs-tools or config?
[03:14] <Vlet> nandemonai: I'm using only what ubuntu 7.04 does by default
[03:14] <GNine> smart choice for a start
[03:15] <blix> I have no idea...I just need linux to write to an ntfs partioned drive
[03:15] <nandemonai> Vlet: I ment the windows drive, NTFS or FAT? Not that it should really matter just that you wont be able to safely write to NTFS.
[03:15] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: if you're really interested in networking, google for router and bridge definitions
[03:15] <web_knows> hi :)
[03:15] <blix> E: Couldn't find package config
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: apt-get ntfs-config
[03:15] <blix> ok...jack...let me try that
[03:15] <Vlet> nandemonai: ahh :) ntfs... I'm only using ubuntu's ro mounting... if you think installing the rw abilities will give me access to those folders, I will
[03:15] <leo_rockw> nandemonai, i've been writing to ntfs no problem
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Which is why I like synaptic.... for searching
[03:16] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: ok that will make things faster... i started with networking which took me way way back to basics. :)
[03:16] <nandemonai> leo_rockw: I still dont trust it is all ;) Vlet: That shouldn't be ness. Is it just that dir that's not showing correctly?
[03:16] <henkdetank> is there an easy way to change the owner of a folder and ALL files and folders inside it????
[03:17] <nandemonai> henkdetank: man chmod
[03:17] <gnomefreak> henkdetank: man chmod i think its -r
[03:17] <Vlet> nandemonai: yes. Everything else shows up correctly (perhaps ubuntu's ntfs tries to respect ntfs permissions?) except the user folders
[03:17] <gnomefreak> or -R
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Are you... apt-get install ntfs-3g    or apt-get ntfs-3g   ... sorry still sleepy here
[03:17] <henkdetank> chmod /help for explanation?
[03:17] <jeffferrari> gvsa123: na way faster - read about the tcp/ip stack as well... you should understand how each device interacts with the data crossing it
[03:17] <henkdetank> and, should i run that as sudo or gksudo?
[03:18] <blix> jack..thats ok, I appreciate the assistance. At the moment I'm in synaptic
[03:18] <roham> is their any compiz channel?
[03:18] <Jordan_U> henkdetank, gksudo is only needed for GUI apps
[03:18] <blix> jack: I'm searching for ntfs
[03:18] <blix> jack; and there are alot of tools
[03:18] <nandemonai> Vlet: Hmm that's a good point though I doubt it. Try a $ sudo ls /finikydir/ if you follow me, see if root can read it.
[03:18] <roland__> ubuntu really sucks for people who want a reliable os
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Just those two 3g    and config
[03:19] <gvsa123> jeffferrari: thanks again...
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: brb
[03:19] <Jordan_U> blix, Search in Add/Remove or search for "ntfs-config" either way you will only get one result
[03:19] <nandemonai> henkdetank: You'll hate me, maybe but.. in a term type: man man and start reading ;)
[03:19] <blix> ntfs-config doesnt exist
[03:19] <blix> I downloadsed ntfstools instead
[03:19] <Jordan_U> blix, No, not the same
[03:19] <blix> so where is this ntfsconfig
[03:20] <henkdetank> i wont hate u
[03:20] <nandemonai> henkdetank: And in regard to changing permission yes you will need to sudo it if you're changing perms your normal user can't access.
[03:20] <henkdetank> i installed ubuntu yesterday and never used commandline before
[03:20] <Jordan_U> blix, go to Applications -> Add / Remove

[03:31] <Falstius> blix: I'm playing lbreakout2 right now, nexuiz is a good fps and battle for wesnoth is addictive.
[03:31] <nandemonai> Ah.. bios mode?
[03:31] <blix> no idea...
[03:31] <leo_rockw> Falstius, battle for wesnoth, of course! awesome game
[03:31] <nandemonai> Windows doesn't find the hd right?
[03:31] <blix> I just need Windows to recognise the drive.
[03:31] <GNine> more power to ya, i didnt know there was an nvidia sound card out
[03:31] <blix> nandemonai: YES
[03:31] <GreyGhost> !path
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about path - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <GreyGhost> !/usr/local
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usr/local - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:32] <leo_rockw> the nvidia card uses an intel chipset (according to alsa)
[03:32] <blix> I kinda screwed things up trying to install Ubuntu over Windows Vista
[03:32] <blix> and now I want Windows XP
[03:32] <Jordan_U> blix, There is an ext driver for windows
[03:32] <blix> and then will dualboot with Ubuntu later
[03:32] <nandemonai> blix: Okies, reboot, go into Bios and check out your sata settings. If you find and change ahci to ide it might help. Know what sort of mobo it is?
[03:32] <msound> thanks leo_rockw, but how am i supposed to configure it for intel sound chipset?
[03:33] <blix> mobo?
[03:33] <blix> ah k
[03:33] <GNine> the route i took was to do a dual boot, then just make ntfs into EXT3 .. that took care of windows and gave me some extra room for ubuntu
[03:33] <nandemonai> blix: I'm just going off what my machine does. (Asus P5B)
[03:33] <leo_rockw> msound, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-intel8x0
[03:33] <Jordan_U> msound, "asoundconf list" and most likely "asoundconf set-default-card Intel"
[03:33] <blix> nan: ok...
[03:34] <nandemonai> blix: Win wont install on sata as ahci, has to be ide as it doesn't have the drivers on the install cd.
[03:34] <nandemonai> blix: Just a guess.
[03:34] <blix> right ok...
[03:34] <blix> I'm on a live CD at the moment
[03:34] <blix> so it's going to take me ages getting back in
[03:34] <blix> so need much info as possible
[03:34] <nandemonai> Okies.
[03:34] <NemesisUK> blix, did you get a floppy disc with your mobo with sata drivers on it?
[03:35] <blix> nope
[03:35] <blix> I'm on a laptop
[03:35] <msound> thanks leo_rockw ... lemme try that
[03:35] <blix> I didn't make recovery disks
[03:35] <leo_rockw> i was trying to speed up my boot time and i added "profile" to menu.lst. now boot is VERY slow and removing "profile" causes half my daemons not to load. any help?
[03:35] <NemesisUK> ok tell you mobo model and we can find em
[03:35] <blix> well I've got a Vaio FZ18L
[03:35] <kauer> GrayGhost: What do you actually want to know?
[03:35] <nandemonai> Actually yeah I gotta scoot for a few mins, gl blix.
[03:35] <NemesisUK> *you/your
[03:35] <blix> ok thanks nanda
[03:36] <blix> BRB
[03:36] <NemesisUK> k
[03:36] <GreyGhost> kauer , why my libs in /usr/local/lib are not being detected .. i have to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make a few apps work ..
[03:38] <kauer> GreyGhost: "man ldconfig" sounds like what you want.
[03:38] <iratik> How do i see the processor info from the command line
[03:38] <GreyGhost> kauer , ok thanks :)
[03:38] <NemesisUK> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:43] <Bucket> join #defocus
[03:43] <Bucket> shat
[03:43] <Bucket> oh well.
[03:43] <Bucket> Anyway, amarok doesn't work still.
[03:43] <Bucket> Going to back up files and reformat.
[03:43] <Bucket> the whole HD.
[03:44] <cox377> can anyone point me in the right direction to making an bootable floppy equivelent to making one under windows?
[03:44] <cox377> so i can boot from CD
[03:45] <NemesisUK> iratik, cat /proc/cpuinfo posted again as i didnt know if you saw it the first time
[03:45] <GNine> !boot | cox377
[03:45] <ubotu> cox377: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[03:47] <branstrom> Hmm... X crashes every time I do compiz --replace, no matter if I'm root or not
[03:47] <cox377> GNine: i dont actually want to install ubuntu unfortunatly, but i've only got ubuntu machines - so i need to make one so i can then boot from a windows cd - would that cover it?
[03:47] <lnx> how i can cancel all the veirtual terminal and left only 2 ?
[03:47] <GreyGhost> kauer , i ran ldconfig but didnt help much ..
[03:47] <branstrom> I've used amaranths repository
[03:48] <GNine> same issue here with compiz. my solution: wait for a stable version to come out
[03:48] <GNine> :-P
[03:49] <GNine> you have some reading to do ahead of you cox377
[03:49] <Chinaski1> hello  everybody
[03:49] <cox377> haha
[03:49] <cox377> GNine: cheers
[03:50] <leo_rockw> hello Chinaski1
[03:51] <Frogzoo> lnx:  /etc/event.d/tty3
[03:51] <Chinaski1> does anyone menaged to get to work the file sharing beetween ubuntu and win xp?
[03:51] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, yes
[03:52] <GNine> !samba | Chinaski1
[03:52] <ubotu> Chinaski1: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:52] <anzan> !botsnack
[03:52] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[03:52] <leo_rockw> yum, lol
[03:53] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, have you installed the samba package?
[03:53] <Chinaski1> how to access my shared folder in ubuntu from win xp? win xp asks for a log/pass that i did not specified in ubuntu shared folder
[03:53] <Chinaski1> yes i have samba package installed
[03:54] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, ah type sudo smbpasswd -a username to add a user and password for filesharing
[03:54] <kauer> GreyGhost: Don't just run it. Read the man page, think about itm=, then configure your libraries how you need them.
[03:54] <GNine> maybe there is no password
[03:54] <Skrypt> Can someone recommend a good FTP client for Ubuntu?
[03:54] <GreyGhost> kauer , ok .. thanks
[03:54] <ashu19> I have a Ubuntu quiet splash screen problem, can anyone help me?
[03:54] <kauer> Skryot: Um - "ftp"?
[03:55] <Skrypt> File Transfer Protocol, client?
[03:55] <GreyGhost> !ask | ashu19
[03:55] <ubotu> ashu19: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:55] <kauer> GreyGhost: If you have a specific question (i.e., you thought you already DID configure it!) let me know...
[03:55] <NemesisUK> gftp Skrypt
[03:55] <nandemonai> Skrypt: GFTP for gnome is ok.
[03:55] <Skrypt> NemesisUK: I need something where I can input my own commands
[03:55] <AcidMaX> anyone know of a good core duo mobo that works with debian systems?
[03:56] <leo_rockw> well... g2g. everybody have a good day/night
[03:56] <GreyGhost> kauer ,ok i'll read properly and try thanks :)
[03:56] <nandemonai> AcidMaX: Asus P5B works fine provided you upgrade the bios.
[03:56] <kauer> GreyGhost: Here is the most important bit of the man page, tells you all you need to know, really: "ldconfig  creates,  updates,  and removes the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time linker,  ld.so)  to  the  most  recent  shared libraries  found  in  the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/usr/lib  and /lib).   ldconfig checks the header and file names of the
[03:57] <nandemonai> AcidMaX: Only Core2 board I've tried in Ubuntu though so tis all I can recommend.
[03:57] <GreyGhost> kauer ,yes yes now i'll read the whole thing :) thanks aagin
[03:58] <kauer> GreyGhost: This translates to "put your libraries in /usr/lib or /lib, OR put their locations in /etc/ld.so.conf OR specify the library you want added on the command line"
[03:58] <Falstius> AcidMaX: I have a P5N-sli that works fine (once I added an option to the sound module to get the front audio working).  Its not the board I would have bought for myself though (I don't need SLI)
[03:58] <GreyGhost> kauer ok thanks
[03:58] <Chinaski1> when i connect using mac os x or another linux machine i am able to reach shared folder without any user/pass. I experience this problem only with win xp. What if i add a username/pass , will this username/pass be required in any filesharing sessions(also using linux - linux or OSX-linux)?
[03:59] <Skrypt> NemesisUK: and I need to connect with TLS too
[03:59] <branstrom> GNine: so what graphics card do you have?
[03:59] <genii> AcidMaX: 7.04 worked for me so far on several Asus boards with socket 775
[03:59] <branstrom> and how long do you guys think it takes before 0.6.0 is out, the stable version?
[03:59] <kauer> GreyGhost: No, don't go away! Come back, and I'll read to you some more! Covering your ears won't help! Sit still! Now....
[03:59] <GNine> nvidia chipset
[03:59] <branstrom> like, months?
[03:59] <branstrom> yeah, I've got nvidia too, GF6800
[04:00] <nandemonai> Chinaski1: Samba needs it's own user/pass nfs etc use unix users. Take a look at smbpassword.
[04:00] <dwxreaper> whats a remote desktop like software for ubuntu server
[04:01] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: vnc?
[04:01] <dwxreaper> nandermonai: does anything come default, i want a command shell and remote gui
[04:01] <genii> dwxreaper: There are a few. vnc is most common, also there is freenx (you need manula install for it, or from Seveas' repo)
[04:01] <GNine> maybe youre not in the same workgroup
[04:02] <genii> dwxreaper: For remote shell, ssh
[04:02] <dwxreaper> genii: okay ssh by default?
[04:02] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: I'd suggest ssh for cli and vnc/freenx for gui.
[04:02] <dwxreaper> i'm not really worried about security because i'm blocking access from everything
[04:02] <NemesisUK> Skrypt, you could use gftp + ftp-ssl and if im correct gftp should allow you to send you own commands
[04:03] <dwxreaper> but i need to manage the server, vnc and hopefully ssh will by default give me a command shell
[04:03] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: You could always look into X forwarding via SSH.
[04:03] <kauer> dwxreaper: Wll, you generally don't need one - you can run anything you need as an X client, securely via an ssh tunnel or in an ssh terminal window. But if you really want to have lots of unnecessary software on your server, open your server to a whole new class of attack, and administer your server as slowly as possible, go look and the many VNC variants available for Linux :-)
[04:03] <branstrom> GNine: what repo were you using?
[04:03] <genii> dwxreaper: on a server install ssh server should be on by default. if not you can apt-get install openssh-server
[04:03] <AcidMaX> what about intel chipset boards?
[04:03] <nandemonai> kauer makes some very valid points
[04:04] <nandemonai> ;)
[04:04] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know of better programs for viewing photos on ubuntu? the default thumbnailer for nautilus is pretty slow and so is Eye of Gnome
[04:04] <dwxreaper> kauer: you mean forward the vnc traffic through ssh?
[04:04] <dwxreaper> i want remote control of the server through a gui, that's what i want
[04:04] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: Nope you can forward X stuff via ssh and run X programs that way. Much more secure.
[04:04] <kauer> dwxreaper: If you do "ssh -X me@server" and log in, you can then run any X program installed on your server, and the window will appear on your local machine.
[04:05] <GNine> for nvidia i use ...-glx-new
[04:05] <dwxreaper> oh, what do you mean X program, what does "x program" limit me to, some program i can't run?
[04:05] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: Much faster than vnc too I might add.
[04:05] <kauer> dwxreaper: No I didn't mean tunneling VNC, though tunneling is a very, very good idea if you absolutely insist on running VNC.
[04:05] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: X basically means GUI. IE the X-Server.
[04:06] <kauer> dwxreaper: I mean that any program you can run on th eserver - any program installed on the server - can either be run in a simple terminal window (if it is a text program) or can be run as an X client (if it's an X program). X = X-windows)
[04:06] <greg> Hi. Does anyone know why my installation cd can't find a Release file?
[04:06] <Chinaski1> nandemonai, NemesisUK: when i say filesharing i mean the same shared folder over samba protocol. so the username/pass i will give to this sharing will be requested everytime i connect to it, from any kind of O.S.
[04:06] <IrishDave> dwxreaper: try it and see, what they are telling you works really well, i use it all the time to use programs i dont have a licence to use at home off a machine from work that i can use ssh to access
[04:06] <greg> the md5sums match
[04:07] <Cryoniq> profanephobia, any integer data 0 to 255 you can use with tinyint
[04:07] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know of better programs for viewing photos on ubuntu? the default thumbnailer for nautilus is pretty slow and so is Eye of Gnome
[04:07] <dwxreaper> kauer: does the program run on the server or the client, it sounds like the program runs on the client where you ssh from
[04:07] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, yes it'll request a passwd
[04:07] <Falstius> IrishDave: I like xv
[04:07] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: It runs from the server and displays locally.
[04:07] <c1|freaky> how to generate a new apache certificate if the old one has expired
[04:07] <kauer> dwxreaper: here is a simple example: "ssh -X me@server xclock" That will run xclock *on the remote machine* but the clock will be displayed *locally on your machine*.
[04:08] <IrishDave> Falstius: any idea what the install package is?
[04:08] <Falstius> xloadimage
[04:08] <nandemonai> dwxreaper: In otherwords it transfers all the ness gui info onto the client and the clients displays it essentially.
[04:08] <NemesisUK> but you could add each machines user to the linux box and then the passwd wouldnt be asked for
[04:08] <kauer> dwxreaper: Th eprogram runs on the server, the display is shown on your local machine. And best of all, it's all encrypted, so you can type in passwords etc if you have to, and they do not appear in cleartext on the network.
[04:08] <Falstius> IrishDave: xloadimage (does it suggest that if you just type xv at the prompt?)
[04:08] <branstrom> GNine: no I meant for compiz fusion
[04:09] <dwxreaper> kauer: yeah sounds good, i'm not worried about security, but that's good to know. we have switches here
[04:09] <IrishDave> nope
[04:09] <IrishDave> but i got it installed now
[04:09] <GreyGhost> kauer , thanks for all the help done !!! :)
[04:09] <dwxreaper> i'll see how this works out, using this "x thing" and just using the command shell, seems great actually
[04:09] <kauer> dwxreaper: What you just said sounded extremely misguided. Do you think that switches prevent your cnetwork conversations being listened to ?!?
[04:10] <kauer> GreyGhost: Goodo.
[04:10] <Cryoniq> Anyone running ubuntu with on the fly encryption on storage disks or so and can tell if it works good?
[04:10] <dwxreaper> kauer: yeah they do actually..
[04:10] <zpertee> when I try to control the volume I get this "no volume control Gstreamer plugins and/or devices found
[04:10] <GreyGhost> kauer , and i learnt a  lesson too :) RTFM
[04:10] <GNine> i installed every single needed package ... it still ended up crashing my xserver costing me 2 hours of tinkering to get it back
[04:10] <hollowlife1987> dwxreaper, you can still sniff on a switched network just a *tad* bit harder
[04:11] <GreyGhost> bbl
[04:11] <Chinaski1> so that's the only way to get a winxp pc access to sharing in ubuntu. bit boring,since neither linux nor mac osx requested username/pass
[04:11] <genii> c1|freaky: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html
[04:11] <dwxreaper> no it's not, arp redirection and flooding the switch don't work with new IOS images and default configurations
[04:11] <kauer> dwxreaper: Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they only stop someone with no access to the physical network, and then only if they can't hack a switch or a router. If you are eg in a dormitory or shared building, anyone with five minutes and a crimping tool can tap any connection.
[04:11] <GNine> btw.. i didnt do fusion .. just the compiz version
[04:11] <genii> c1|freaky: Skip down to the part on making a sef signed certificate
[04:11] <genii> *self
[04:11] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, are the workgroups the same for the windows machines and nix machines
[04:11] <c1|freaky> thx ;D
[04:11] <doug_> why is it when i do sudo nautilus this shows up in the term ALSA lib conf.c:3968:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
[04:11] <dwxreaper> kauer: i'm not worried
[04:12] <branstrom> GNine: I used amaranth's repository (compiz fusion)
[04:12] <dwxreaper> this is in a DC anyways
[04:12] <Cryoniq> kauer, so true
[04:12] <Chinaski1> how to check on linux?
[04:12] <branstrom> I'm just gonna keep trying different things until I get it working
[04:12] <kauer> dwxreaper: Ignorance is bliss, but ssh is your friend. Listen to people who actually know what they are talking about, and USE ENCRYPTION.
[04:12] <Cryoniq> Chinaski1, you mean try Ubuntu Linux?
[04:12] <ashu18> DOES ANYONE HELP HERE?
[04:12] <dwxreaper> kauer: i k now what i'm talking about, as i said, you can't sniff the switches here..
[04:13] <GNine> however.. talkin about desktop effect has been reported offtopic before
[04:13] <GNine> in here
[04:13] <nandemonai> !ask | ashu18
[04:13] <ubotu> ashu18: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:13] <Chinaski1> nono, how to check samba workgroup on linux
[04:13] <genii> ashu18: It's better to say first what problem you have, then if someone knows how to help they usually will.
[04:13] <IrishDave> any others Falstius? i really want faster programs to replace those i mentioned but have similar functionality, i think gThumb looks nice so far
[04:14] <Cryoniq> dwxreaper, you can sniff switches by assimilating MAC adresses for what you want to sniff actually unless a MAC adress is tied to the physical port only.
[04:14] <ashu18> nandemonai: i have been the same question again and again for three days now, with NO response....so please don't make that ubotu thing advise me
[04:14] <Falstius> IrishDave: xv is actually very powerful.  It just doesn't have the pretty interface :)
[04:14] <nandemonai> Chinaski1: in the Shared Folders app should be an options to set workgroup.
[04:14] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, sudo nano -w /etc/samba/smb.conf
[04:14] <nandemonai> ashu18: What's the question then?
[04:14] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1,  it's in there
[04:14] <grubby> hi, anyone here figure out how to get a dell laptop to resume from sleep?
[04:14] <IrishDave> Falstius: as much as i love using the command line for most stuff, i like the pretty interface for picture viewing :)

[04:15] <Robert123321> hi i'm trying to run a script file and i get an error that says that i cannot make a diretory in /usr/local "Permission denied" how do i fix this
[04:15] <nandemonai> ashu18: Okies, What's it doing? I'll help if I can.
[04:15] <ashu18> nandemonai: it doesn't show up during start up and shut down
[04:15] <ashu18> i mean the ubuntu name, logo and progress bar
[04:15] <Chinaski1> it's MSHOME
[04:15] <grubby> Robert123321: sudo <script>
[04:15] <doug_> Robert123321,  do u do sudo

[04:16] <ashu18> nandemonai: during start up i have to press ctrl +alt + f4 to start normal booting
[04:16] <kauer> dwxreaper: For your sake I hope so. Quite frankly, unless you are in some kind of hardened facility, you do NOT know what you are talking about. And if you ARE in some kind of hardened facility, expect to get fired when your boss learns about your attitude to security ;-) I guess you'll figure it out the same way most people figure out backups - you'll get burned, it will all suddenly make sense, and you'll be sadder, but wiser (and your dat
[04:16] <nandemonai> ashu18: In your /boot/grub/menu.lst is splash on the end of the kernel line your booting?
[04:16] <ashu18> yeah it's there
[04:17] <nandemonai> hmm
[04:17] <ashu18> otherwise, the normal booting should have started automatically....
[04:17] <kauer> what touching faith some people have.
[04:17] <dwxreaper> kauer: stfu you idiot, cryoniq doesn't know what's he's talking about either. when you get the same mac on two ports the switch bugs out or throws error disabled
[04:17] <grubby> to put it another way, is there a special channel for ubuntu on laptops?
[04:17] <dwxreaper> all of which you would see in log
[04:17] <jeffferrari> I think dwxreaper was referring to cisco IOS managed switches being able to detect and report arp poisoning
[04:17] <Chinaski1> k i'll add a user/pass since i use this sharing on multiple networks and it would be be boring to change workgroup every time...
[04:17] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, change it to whatever the windows machines are on
[04:18] <ashu18> nandemonai: any ideas?
[04:18] <jeffferrari> they then report hte port address and you walk down to see who is playing funny games
[04:18] <nandemonai> ashu18: is usplash and usplash-theme-ubuntu installed?
[04:18] <ashu18> nandemonai: one of my friend says that it could be monitor sync problem, but i have windows as well and i don't face any problems with that
[04:18] <ashu18> nandemonai: what's usplash?
[04:18] <NemesisUK> Chinaski1, Probably WORKGROUP after change it do sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[04:19] <ashu18> nandemonai: the settings are default, so the splash should come, aint?
[04:19] <age6racer> hi all, is it possible to log in as sudo with one command (something like) sudo passwd foo
[04:19] <aman2007> can anybody help me plz
[04:19] <jeffferrari> sudo su
[04:19] <nandemonai> ashu18: That's the app responsible for the splash. Your friend may have a point, it could be trying a rate your monitor doesn't support but it should bug out and tell you so..

[04:19] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:19] <grubby> age6racer: you need to set a password for root to enable sudo (root) login: sudo passwd root
[04:19] <defias> hey sup, can anyone help me get a file on a read-only hdd?
[04:19] <ubotu> aman2007: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:19] <nandemonai> ashu18: Yes, default install it should..
[04:20] <ashu18> nandemonai: i had ubuntu 7.04 previously too and it ran ok
[04:20] <aman2007> Bucket i need to setup an internet connection in ubuntu7.04
[04:20] <aman2007> Bucket but i m not able to do so
[04:20] <Bucket> there is plenty of stuff in google for that.
[04:20] <kauer> dwxreaper: Keep your shirt on :-) Your data will live longer if you accept that there are more things between heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy. All I can do is warn you that you should be more careful, and not, ever, let a password fly in clear across your network. But you don't have to pay attention, and don't seem to want to, so I will leave it at that. You might like to think about how a bridge works, or a data tap.
[04:20] <Bucket> Ubuntu forums.
[04:20] <Chinaski1> then the strange thing is that in winxp i can't log in to my sharing leaving the username and password blank, windows expects that i type something and once i do it activates the connect button,,
[04:21] <genii> age6racer: To be able to use sudo without always requiring a password you can edit /etc/sudoers for this. But it is not recommended.
[04:21] <ashu18> nandemonai: it's happening after i got back my original motherboard and removed the stand by one
[04:21] <zuez> Is it a painful process to update from 'dapper' to 'feisty'?
[04:21] <nandemonai> ashu18: Hmm, might be a gusty issue then? (I assume that's what your on?)
[04:21] <defias> can anyone plz help me get a file on a read-only hdd...._
[04:21] <MGPalmer> Heya, I've got a problem setting up an Ubuntu Box so I can use VNC to remotely control it (from a windows machine), and i followed this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?mode=hybrid&t=122402 . I can connect to Ubuntu with UltraVNC, but I dont get a login screen. After Enabling xdmcp and reloading gdm, the VNC connection just terminates. Anybody know whats wrong ?
[04:21] <aman2007> Bucket see this link u will understand my problem better https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/12262
[04:21] <nandemonai> ashu18: Ahh plot thickens..
[04:21] <kauer> dwxreaper: But if you want to use VNC, plenty of people here can help you, it's quite popular.
[04:21] <ashu18> nandemonai: nope i have feisty
[04:21] <nandemonai> ashu18: hmm okies..
[04:21] <age6racer> All i want to do is use irexec to shutdown the pc. I need to issue the command in one go.  Me I've never tried something that big, generally re-install.
[04:22] <ashu18> nandemonai: it's not a big issue, because rest of ubuntu apparently runs ok
[04:22] <GNUtoo> hello, i have upgraded from edgy to feisty manualy because the gui way didn't work and now i have a screen with the ubuntu walpaper and nothing else(no gnome)...how should i restore the normal behaviour?
[04:22] <Bucket> I didn't necessarily ask you to ask the question because I could answer it, just once you ask it instead of asking to ask it, someone can help.
[04:23] <ashu18> nandemonai: still i would rather have everything running perfect
[04:23] <nandemonai> ashu18: I know what you mean.
[04:23] <aman2007> Bucket do u really know how to solve the problem
[04:23] <aman2007> ?
[04:23] <nandemonai> ashu18: Hmm..
[04:23] <GNUtoo> and i don't know how does the xinit process work in ubuntu...
[04:23] <defias> can anyone tell me how to get a file on a ntfs hdd, which is read-only... It should be somehow possible through root
[04:23] <age6racer> so how about a shutdown script?
[04:23] <Robert123321> "ERROR: Grant write permissions for /usr/local/" how do i do this
[04:23] <aman2007> Bucket r u there?
[04:23] <Bucket> I have never had to connect a wired connection like that, however I did manage to get my WiFi working through looking on goolge, just do a search and I'm sure in Ubuntu forums or something there is a How To
[04:23] <abhi> where I can find the debian package of babytrans-dictionary?
[04:24] <nandemonai> ashu18: Trying something here, give me a sec.
[04:24] <ashu18> nandemonai: i would gladly kick out windows and do a complete ubuntu install, but with all these flaws...

[04:25] <ubotu> defias: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:26] <defias> yes.. thank you... i hope it works..
[04:26] <age6racer> I want to shutdown the pc with irexec but I need to be root. I was thinking either put the password into the original command or use some sort of script?
[04:26] <Bucket> aman2007, are you trying to set up a wifi connection or a wired connection?
[04:26] <abhi> age6racer: use sudo -i
[04:26] <GNUtoo> and gnome-session doesn't want to install....mabe that's the problem....
[04:27] <nandemonai> ashu18: Well I just did a dpkg-reconfigure usplash here and mine is still working. Unless anyone suggests against it I'd try that.
[04:27] <nbkr> Robert123321, What application demands write access to /usr/local/ ?
[04:27] <brit> Good morning.
[04:27] <ashu18> nandemonai: u mean i should try it too?
[04:27] <kauer> age6racer: Do you need to do this remotely, or locally (in a console or terminal)?
[04:27] <ashu18> nandemonai: i am a complete dork in linux, so i ll want detailed instructions...
[04:28] <nandemonai> ashu18: Unless someone can give you a reason not too.. I just hate suggesting things that work around the boot level. It can be easy to stop a system booting.

[04:28] <roland_^> hi
[04:28] <abhi> where I can find the debian package of babytrans-dictionary?
[04:28] <nandemonai> ashu18: If your willing to take the risk, sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash in a term and then reboot.
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: I came in late.. are you talking about changing the mbr ?
[04:28] <doug_> ashu18,  have u googled it yet u might find ur answer there or on the ubuntu forums
[04:29] <ashu18> Frogzoo: thanks, but i know already
[04:29] <roland_^> ubuntu sucks ass
[04:29] <nandemonai> Jack_Sparrow: Nope, just trying to fix usplash.
[04:29] <kauer> age6racer: Yes, but do you need to shutdown a machine you can physically reach out and touch, or a machine somewhere else on the internet?

[04:29] <age6racer> one I can touch. But the point is that I don't want to
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Thanks
[04:30] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: Did you look at boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:30] <kauer> age6racer: So that means you want to execute a command on machine A that will (by whatever means) shut down machine B. Is that right?
[04:30] <nandemonai> Jack_Sparrow: yeah the usplash refs are there.
[04:30] <sudobash> gonzalez is gone... YAY!
[04:31] <ashu18> nandemonai: should i reboot now?
[04:31] <abhi> how can I activate windows key to be used as the shortcut key?
[04:31] <jeffferrari> kauer: nice gaining agreement statement :) looks like you work in support
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> nandemonai: Never seen that one... thanks..
[04:31] <nandemonai> ashu18: Go for it, hope it fixed it.
[04:31] <age6racer> Kauer: No. I want to shut down machine A
[04:31] <Falstius> age6racer: you could add shutdown to the sudoers file to not require a password.
[04:31] <ashu18> nandemonai: ok, keep ur fingers crossed...

[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: I just switched mine to alt-e
[04:32] <CharlieSu> jeffferrari: slocate :)
[04:32] <Falstius> age6racer: you should read man sudoers to get an idea of how to edit the file (and be very careful with it)
[04:32] <elkbuntu> Hobbsee, we'll just have to hit them as they come then

[04:33] <erUSUL> Kerttuli_: sudo sh file.sh
[04:34] <kauer> age6racer: You said you didn't want to touch it.  If so, you have to either type the command, press a button, or in some other way interact physically with machine A. Anything else is a network job. I'm just trying to figure out whether you need a way to run
[04:34] <Falstius> Robert123321: what are you trying to do?  Granting blanket write access to /usr/local is probably a bad idea.

[04:34] <Don64> bernard__: ask in #ubuntu+1

[04:34] <Robert123321> Falstius: well the script im running is installing something to that directory
[04:34] <nbkr> Robert123321, What application needs write permissions on /usr/local/ ?
[04:34] <farshim> Can I run OS X under Ubuntu?
[04:35] <ashu19> nandemonai: :-(
[04:35] <age6racer> kauer: I'm using an Infrared remote control and lirc/irexec. I want to shutdown the pc from my bed.
[04:35] <GNUtoo> i have resolved my problem...i didn't saw 2 lines in the sources.list and so they were kept with the edgy repositories...
[04:35] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: thanks man . I am going to try this.
[04:35] <nandemonai> ashu19: Afraid I'm out of ideas though. So you installed on a diff motherboard? I'm a little confused..
[04:35] <age6racer> so i need a script or command that I can issue that will do this without prompting me for a passowrd (requiring me to get up and type)
[04:35] <nbkr> farshim, In theory yes, but the OSX License doesn't allow to run OSX in a virtual environment.
[04:35] <Falstius> Robert123321: what script?  If you run the script with sudo, it will be able to write there.  Another option is to create the directory it wants with +rw permissions for it.
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: When you get a chance.. check out Thunar... a lighter file manager...
[04:36] <Robert123321> nbkr: im trying to install ps2toolchain and i run the file toolchain.sh and it gives me that error
[04:36] <kauer> age6racer: Aaaah! Much becomes clear. So this "irexec" is a program that detects the IR signal and executes a command.  So far so good?
[04:36] <ashu19> nandemonai: ok my original motherboard crashed when i had windows xp in late July, so i was running on a standby mobo until aug 21
[04:36] <age6racer> yes 100%
[04:36] <ashu19> nandemonai:: i had installed ubuntu in between and it was working rock solid
[04:36] <nbkr> Robert123321, did you run the toolchain.sh with sudo or as normal user?
[04:36] <Kerttuli_> hmm .. wtf
[04:36] <farshim> nbkr:  does VirtualBox allow OS X? It doesn't come up under list of OS's.
[04:36] <Kerttuli_> root@jussi-ubuntu:~# sudo sh install-crossover-standard-demo-6.1.0.sh
[04:36] <Kerttuli_> sh: Can't open install-crossover-standard-demo-6.1.0.sh
[04:36] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: ok. have u tried the pcman file manager?
[04:36] <kauer> age6racer: OK, I'm guessing that irexec runs all the time, picking up signals and executing various programs. Is that right?
[04:36] <ashu19> nandemonai: but ever since i got my original mobo, the usplash doesn't work
[04:37] <age6racer> yup
[04:37] <Robert123321> i typed ./toolchain.sh not sure how to do with sudo do i type sudo .toolchain.sh?
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: No but I will if you say you like it.
[04:37] <nandemonai> ashu19: Okies.. Diff mobos?
[04:37] <nbkr> farshim,  It is not a problem of the virtualization tool, but with OSX itself. Apple doesn't want to have its Operation Software run anywhere else than on their hardware.
[04:37] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: ok. man just go for it .. i assure that u will like it.
[04:37] <kauer> age6racer: OK, so how does irexec itsef get run? Do you start it, or does it get started via a startup script in (say) /etc/init.d, or... That is, how does it get run in the first place?
[04:37] <nbkr> Robert123321, sudo ./toolchain.sh
[04:38] <farshim> nbkr:  it seems all Virulisation softwate allow windows and unix based OSs

[04:38] <TerraMaster> HI Im trying to install a runtime library and it came in a .rpm file, what do I do?
[04:38] <nandemonai> ashu18: All good. Are we talking about 2 differant mobos here or same model?
[04:38] <age6racer> yeah it starts with gnome. I added it to the session > startup apps
[04:38] <farshim> nbkr: What's the solution in theory?
[04:38] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: similar to nautilus but quite fast and have a lot of features.
[04:38] <ashu18> : same model
[04:38] <nandemonai> Hmm well that is quite odd then.
[04:38] <TerraMaster> Hi i'm trying to install a runtime library and it came in a .rpm file, what do I do?
[04:39] <Falstius> age6racer: you edit sudoers with visudo.  You would add a line like %admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
[04:39] <nbkr> farshim, Set up a new host in vmware, use the OSX installation disk and see what happens. I never tried it, because of the license issue.
[04:39] <Pici> TerraMaster: What file? Did you check the repos for it first?
[04:39] <nandemonai> ashu18: Sorry but I'm stumped. You could always try removing usplash and reinstalling it. Other than that I'm out of suggestions I'm afraid.
[04:39] <Robert123321> nbkr with sudo ./toolchain.sh i get the following error : "ERROR: Add /usr/local/ps2dev/bin to your path before continuing."
[04:39] <TerraMaster> repos?
[04:39] <Don64> TerraMaster: look at alien
[04:39] <Pici> !repo | TerraMaster
[04:39] <ubotu> TerraMaster: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:39] <ashu18> nandemonai: how 2 do that?
[04:39] <Pici> !alien | TerraMaster
[04:39] <ubotu> TerraMaster: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:40] <TerraMaster> ok...
[04:40] <nbkr> Robert123321, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ps2dev/bin; sudo ./toolchain.sh
[04:40] <nandemonai> ashu18: Ubuntu right? Not K/Xubuntu?
[04:40] <jacquesmerde> am new to debian-based distros. when installing a random app from source that isnt in any repos, is there an easy way to turn it into a .deb?
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Already looking at it.. I like thunar as it has the drives on the left like Windows FIle Manager and I have a few drives to deal with
[04:40] <ashu18> nandemonai: yeah ubuntu
[04:40] <TerraMaster> Well how would i go about installing it from source?
[04:40] <Pici> TerraMaster: You can use synaptic to look through the package repositories so you dont have to compile from source or use rpm packages.
[04:41] <TerraMaster> Yea I had a lookie and its not there
[04:41] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: that would depend on your definition of "easy"

[04:42] <TerraMaster> pardon?
[04:42] <aguitel> i need some help
[04:42] <ashu18> nandemonai: hope so
[04:42] <kauer> age6racer: Adding it that way causes it to run as you, as your user. That user has no root rights, except via something like sudo, which generally requires a password before it will carry out commands as root. Allowing sudo to run shutdown without a password is not a bad idea in your situation, because shutdown is actually quite a safe command. I don't know how to do that, but someone else here will. It's not a very elegant solution, though.
[04:42] <jeffferrari> TerraMaster: apt-get install installwatch
[04:42] <nandemonai> ashu18: Good luck ;)
[04:42] <nbkr> aguitel, Just ask your question.
[04:42] <nandemonai> Back in a bit peoples.
[04:42] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: anything equivalent to writing a slackbuild or running checkinstall in slackware?
[04:42] <ashu18> nandemonai: thanks
[04:42] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: a .deb is just an archive with lots of files inside and a policy... if you plan to make *compliant* .deb packages you must follow the packaging guidelines.... that can be hard depending on the source organization
[04:42] <Falstius> kauer: it is elegant enough.  Much better than leaving your password laying around in plaintext.
[04:43] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: press F to view side pane.
[04:43] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: you have checkinstall in ubuntu but that doesn't make a *compliant* package

[04:43] <Terrasque> Ravenndude`: yes
[04:43] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: have u press the disk icon
[04:43] <age6racer> falstius: can you help me with this then? I'm nervous about getting it wrong.

[04:44] <Ravenndude`> Can anyone like me to some instructions to installing a USB Printer? I tried doing it through System > admin > printer and it didn't work afterwords. The printer is not detected.

[04:44] <nbkr> aguitel, 64 mb is not enough for ubuntu. Even it it is possible to install ubuntu on that maschine, it will never run smoothly.
[04:44] <kauer> age6racer: Start the irexec program *as root*. This would mean wrapping in in gksudo. You would be prompted once (at the start of each session) for your password, then irexec would run in the background, just as it does now, but as root, and would be able to run shutdown without further passwords. If there are other IR commands you want carried out that involve running programs that use the X server displya, you would have to tell irexec to
[04:44] <TerraMaster> !source
[04:44] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Yes... It looks like I have a better hardware listing in thunar but not the nav icons I see in pc..
[04:45] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: checkinstall will do a trick, but maybe it is better to learn how to package properly so you can provide updates easily, upgrades won't destroy configuration, and you can distribute easily the software, even on ubuntu if it is free...
[04:45] <nbkr> aguitel, Have a look at some other distribution like "Damn Small Linux". It is optimized for PCs like you described.
[04:45] <aguitel> nbkr, what distro is best for me
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: I have the tow side by side... I will explore mre.. thanks
[04:45] <age6racer> Can't do that I'm afraid.   To be safe, open two terminals.  In one, run sudo -i (this will give you a root prompt).  In the other run visudo and add to the end: %admin ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
[04:45] <age6racer> so no passwords.
[04:45] <aguitel> nbkr ,ok i waiting for you
[04:45] <thewickerman> Is there a way that by which I can force the installation of the package releases in the apt-get cache regardless of whether it is the newest version or not?
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Did you get your hot-keys to work yet... THere are some issuse with setting those up if you use desktop effects
[04:46] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: oh, these debs are only for my own personal use
[04:46] <Davy_Jones> aguitel: that's a question only YOU can answer
[04:46] <Falstius> age6racer: then write the file, and test sudo.  If there is a problem, remove the line and come back here to complain.  The extra root terminal is incase sudo breaks :)
[04:46] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: no , editing
[04:46] <kauer> age6racer: Start the irexec program *as root* by creating a startup script for it and placing it in /etc/init.d. This is harder, but irexec is running from the time the machine starts, you don't have to log in for it to be working. You need a suitable startup script, though.
[04:46] <ashu19> nandemonai: nope didn't work...
[04:46] <tadp> i first used the restricted manager the same problem persisted.  is there any one to help me, iam  using  nvidia geforce2 integrated gpu card when i installed envy and run it iam getting a nvidia splash screen but after that everything get stuck. please help me to correct this problem
[04:46] <nbkr> aguitel, Pardon? There is nothing I can do for you - you have to try Damn Small Linux for your self.
[04:46] <ashu19> nandemonai: anyway thanks for ur help
[04:46] <Falstius> kauer: if he does that, than all of the irexec commands will be run as root which he probably does want. Things like changing the channel, etc.
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy > tadp
[04:47] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: I am still inclined to learn how to make everything *the rigth way* even for my own use... I never know, I may purchase another machine, may use my package on one of my clients later... and that knowledge will prove useful...
[04:47] <aguitel> nbkr,ok
[04:47] <ashu19> nandemonai: i keep getting all these weird problems with ubuntu all the time
[04:47] <Davy_Jones> tadp: you know envy can screw your system up, right?
[04:47] <nbkr> aguitel, You can download a DSL Image from there: http://damnsmalllinux.org
[04:47] <ashu19> nandemonai: that's what keeps me from using it full time
[04:48] <tadp> then what to do
[04:48] <tadp> how to install the nvidia driver
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> tadp: dunno.. these problems are hard to track.. check the forums
[04:48] <tadp> Davy_Jones: then how to install the nvidia driver
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> tadp: and listen to ubuntu
[04:48] <tadp> i tried a lot
[04:48] <age6racer> falstius: when I try adding the line it just gives me the visudo usage options
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: Restore from a backup or reinstall or see the people that wrote envy... (good luck with the last one)
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> tadp: listen to ubotu
[04:48] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: but you may do as you see fit,. you may as well just zip the files for your application and you wont even need .deb.... just unzip to a folder into, say, /usr/local and you're done installing
[04:48] <tadp> for last two months
[04:48] <ashu19> nandemonai: anyway, can u tell what's a good (and easy to configure) firewall for ubuntu?
[04:48] <kauer> age6racer: Run another script, just for shutdown, in the background and *as root*. This script should look for a file called (say) "/tmp/shutdown". If it sees it, it deletes the file and shuts your PC down. If it doesn't see it, it goes to sleep for a minute, then wakes up and looks again. Such a script would be easy to write. Your irexec command then just creates that file. This would have the advantage that it ONLY requires root for the on
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> !envy > tadp
[04:49] <Falstius> age6racer: if you run sudo visudo    ?
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: I already did that a while back..
[04:49] <barbie> hi, how to know what is my default playback device. festival is givin me this error... Linux: can't open /dev/dsp
[04:49] <tadp> envy is not working man
[04:49] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: as in ./configure && make && tar?
[04:49] <ashu19> nandemonai: i want something which will do the job by clicking buttons and not by typing commands
[04:49] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: i know, for some reason he won't see the links
[04:49] <tadp> restricted manager too is not working
[04:49] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: or use checkinstall which is almost the same thing
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: Did you even READ  what Uboto said about Envy?
[04:49] <age6racer> falstius: if I run sudo visudo it prompt for password then does the same
[04:50] <Davy_Jones> tadp: try to download and compile the drivers
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[04:50] <ubotu> 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!
[04:50] <nbkr> barbie, tried /dev/audo ?
[04:50] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: but by making a proper package you can specify dependencies and have them installed automatically next time, you can use debconf to configure your package, etc etc
[04:50] <arun> is there any way i can change the default folder icons in gftp? i want it to use the default ubuntu folder icons
[04:50] <ProN00b> is ntfs stable yet ?
[04:50] <kauer> Falstius: You are partly right (I assume you mean "does not want"?). As I said initially. However, there are other ways, and he should know about them. He might learn something.
[04:50] <Davy_Jones> tadp: restricted manager works great here
[04:50] <tadp> Davy_Jones: tadp: yea i did download and run the script the same result
[04:50] <ashu19> nandemonai: are u there yet?
[04:51] <Davy_Jones> ProN00b: ntfs as in ntfs-3g?
[04:51] <barbie> nbkr: actually there is a device in /dev as /dev/adsp but how to specify it to festival?
[04:51] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: I am not able to know what to do in keybinding_commands and in global_keybindings .
[04:51] <Falstius> age6racer: .... can you paste the output to pastebin?  That is very strange.
[04:51] <ProN00b> Davy_Jones, yes
[04:51] <tadp> i installed the 1.096xx as well as 1.7085 drivers its not working
[04:51] <Davy_Jones> ProN00b: i don't think it is stable officially but i had no problems using it for the last 3 years or so
[04:51] <gsevil> why I can't suspend my computer
[04:51] <aguitel> nbkr ,what difference between puppy and dsl ?
[04:51] <jacquesmerde> nosklo: i always made packages the proper way with archlinux, setting dependencies, and stuff like that. with arch it was a breeze even for me. but i'm guessing with ubuntu i won't have that much control over my system
[04:51] <Falstius> kauer: I'm not going to argue.  I just don't think it is necessary to tell someone 4 different ways to do something when they just want to get it done.
[04:52] <ProN00b> Davy_Jones, ok, thanks
[04:52] <tadp> any one knows about how to install nvidia driver for "geforce2 integrated gpu"
[04:52] <nosklo> jacquesmerde: that would be your choice, you may have as much control as you need/want to
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi:   apps/metacity/keybinding_commands   select command_1  enter the name of the program to run  as in nautilus   apps/metacity/global_keybindings select run_command_1 enter <Alt>e
[04:52] <Ravenndude`> I'm having trouble getting my USB printer detected (espon stylis cx4800). Can anyone help me?
[04:52] <tadp> is there anyone here who works for envy???
[04:53] <nbkr> aguitel, Puppy is just another distribution. I depends on you which one you like more.
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: No one works at envy...
[04:53] <tadp> anyone contributes??
[04:53] <Davy_Jones> tadp: did you try this > http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nVidia_drivers_in_7.04
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: We dont support it, we discourage the use of it...
[04:53] <ShockUBT> i can't seem to get java running as a firefox plugin, can someone help? i have the preferences > content checkbox checked
[04:53] <gsevil> Do you know where to find a log about error when suspend? my pc can't suspend, but my laptop is ok
[04:54] <tadp> jack sparrow can u spare some time discussing this with me now
[04:54] <age6racer> falstius: Sorry I was doing it wrong. I have added the line now and am rebooting the machine
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: Once he runs that script... he is hosed...
[04:54] <age6racer> rebooting becuase it didnt work straight away
[04:54] <pasqualer92> ciao a tutti
[04:54] <nbkr> barbie, Festival has a configuration file. Maybe you can set it there. I can't find the documentation at present.
[04:54] <pasqualer92> posso kiedere aiuto?
[04:55] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: I gave you the only two options I can give...  Restore from a backup or re-install...  You can save time by backing up var/cache/apt/archives  and by using a sep. /home in the future.

[04:55] <age6racer> falstius: when I do shutdown -h now it still asks for the password.
[04:55] <pasqualer92> ah grz
[04:55] <pasqualer92> :)
[04:55] <age6racer> do I have to use a different command?
[04:55] <marrokinooo> i wanna remaster fluxubutu? plz how can i do it?
[04:56] <Falstius> age6racer: you shouldn't need to reboot.  It should work right away if done correctly.
[04:56] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferneyes/337735343/
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> tadp: I can not help you....
[04:56] <Falstius> age6racer: let me try this for a minute to double check the syntax.  I'll get back with you.
[04:56] <age6racer> ok thanks
[04:56] <tadp> hmm thankx
[04:56] <marrokinooo> i wanna custmize fluxbuntu or xubunti, plz i need help
[04:57] <Falstius> age6racer: I'm booting up my virtual machine so that I don't have to reboot my desktop :)
[04:57] <SoulChild> Hi all, i am looking for a E-Mail Client, which does not donwload all Mails, instead caching them while reading, cause i don't want to waste space on my HD
[04:57] <Davy_Jones> marrokinooo: what kind of customizing?
[04:57] <kauer> Falstius: You way "gets it done". It also leaves shutdown as something anyone can do, anytime, in any open terminal window on that machine - worse, all they need is the IR remote. That happens to be pretty harmless in his context. It might not be for the other 1155 people in this chat room. So it makes sense to explain the downsides to the quick fix and show that there are other, better ways, or at least ways with other advantages and disadv
[04:57] <iratik> I cannot connect to the internet -- I can reach the default gateway and was previously able to connect to the internet under opendns dns servers as configured under /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .... I reconfigured to use other dns server and am now having dns resolution issues ... e.g. ping cannot resolve google.com ... how do i troubleshoot dns resolution issues ?
[04:57] <nbkr> marrokinooo, See here: Its for ubuntu, but it should work with fluxubuntu to. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:57] <Davy_Jones> marrokinooo: also, you will get better support in #xfce and #fluxbox
[04:58] <marrokinooo> Davy_jones: I want to change the boot screen and the background, add my name and so
[04:58] <nosklo> iratik: you may use dig
[04:58] <Davy_Jones> marrokinooo: i suggest you use google for those
[04:58] <marrokinooo> I want to add some softwares and remove some others
[04:58] <iratik> i did that and got a result back
[04:58] <nosklo> iratik dig @server www.ubuntu.com
[04:58] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: thanks , I got all the tricks.. is it possible to use the win key just like alt and control?
[04:58] <iratik> dig www.ubuntu.com
[04:59] <marrokinooo> ok
[04:59] <age6racer> kauer: I understand what you were trying to do. And I appreciate your help. I didn't like the sound of editing this file but considering the machine it is on and the command in question i can live with it.
[04:59] <ubuntu__> Im back
[04:59] <marrokinooo> thanks for help guys
[04:59] <Davy_Jones> np
[04:59] <iratik> nosklo: yeah i'm getting results back for each dig query
[04:59] <blix> test
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: I would assume you could... I didnt have the time... so I just changed it to alt-e
[04:59] <Falstius> kauer: a script that looked at /tmp/shutdown would be vulnerable to anyone who could write to /tmp.  This way only someone in the admin group can do it.  And the whole point is for anyone with the remote to be able to shutdown the computer.
[04:59] <nosklo> iratik: does the result include any "A" record with an ip address?
[04:59] <barbie> nbkr: at ubuntuforum i got the solution.... i need alsa-oss and oss-compat
[04:59] <barbie> but anyways thanks 4 the help
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: So you now have your hot-key for nautilus or pcman up and running right?
[05:00] <nosklo> iratik: in its answer section?
[05:00] <nbkr> barbie, np
[05:00] <iratik> nosklo: hold on
[05:00] <iratik> nosklo: http://pastie.caboo.se/91340
[05:00] <blix> There has to be an easy way to do this....
[05:00] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow: ok, I have add the hotkey for nautilus and pcmanfm and working.
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Thanks for the tim on PC man... I will compare the two a bit more..
[05:00] <blix> I need format a drive to ntfs from this Ubuntu Live CD
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> tip
[05:01] <blix> fdisk..is saying I can't write to the partition table
[05:01] <nosklo> iratik, your server is <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: did you unmount it first
[05:01] <iratik> nosklo: my dns server?
[05:01] <blix> I haven't no
[05:01] <nosklo> iratik: the one dig is using
[05:01] <blix> umount /dev/hda?
[05:01] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow, : is there any ebook  available to master the gconf-editor?
[05:01] <jadams_> can anyone recommend an open source image map generating application?
[05:02] <nosklo> iratik: and it solved google.com to a bunch of ips
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: You can do it from gnome partition editor as well
[05:02] <nosklo> iratik: try digging www.google.com or pinging just google.com
[05:02] <blix> what's the package for that?
[05:02] <turkishman22> Enter h0131 people
[05:02] <kauer> Falstius: The script could look at the owner of the file too. And of course anyone with the remote can shut it down; that is, as you say, the point. Just trying to show people that there are more ways than one to skin a cat safely. If not for the cat :-)
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> abhi: Not that I am aware of...
[05:02] <nosklo> iratik: in other words use the same hostname on ping and dig
[05:02] <blix> ah yeah
[05:02] <Davy_Jones> blix: fdisk -l will list the partitions you have mounted and unmounted
[05:02] <Davy_Jones> blix: might prefix it with sudo
[05:02] <iratik> nosklo: updated paste @ http://pastie.caboo.se/91340
[05:02] <blix> ok Davy..let me check
[05:02] <abhi> Jack_Sparrow, ok
[05:03] <msound> my "aplay -l" lists two cards at location card0... how do i make my modem go away (so my soundcard will work)
[05:03] <nosklo> iratik: the DNS server may not respond to pings
[05:03] <nosklo> iratik: in fact that is common practice
[05:03] <blix> dev/sda1 is the partition I want formatted
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Ubuntu live cd had Gnome Partition Editor in the system admin menu
[05:03] <nosklo> iratik: but you are still pinging different hostname
[05:03] <iratik> nosklo: i pinged both google.com and www.google.com
[05:04] <iratik> i digged both google.com and www.google.com
[05:04] <blix> jack....yes I have gparted open now
[05:04] <nosklo> iratik: pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf
[05:04] <ShockUBT> why is it that "su" works differently from "su root"
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: Highlight the partition, unmount it and try to format it .
[05:04] <Davy_Jones> gonna go meditate by shooting people in quake3.. laters
[05:04] <iratik> nosklo: http://pastie.caboo.se/91343
[05:04] <iBucket> because it makes you own all files:D?
[05:05] <blix> the problem I have is..when I ask to reformat to ntfs...it just responds "At least one operation was applied to a busy device@
[05:05] <Meroigo> artsd, esd, what are those? They have something to do with sound.. Skype staff wants me to turn them off so skype won't have problems. what are their role in the operating system?
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: Turn off the modem in bios.. if onboard which I am assuming
[05:05] <Falstius> age6racer: okay, so it works for me.  A couple of notes, when you use visudo, you have to exit (ctrl-x) to get it to write /etc/sudoers.  And you still need sudo, just no password.  So sudo shutdown -h 10 won't ask for password.
[05:05] <iratik> ahah
[05:05] <NET||abuse> Hey guys.. can someone recomend a good id3 tag editor,, i looked through the ones that come up under aptitude search id3 and they're all command line,, i want a gui based one
[05:05] <age6racer> ah ok
[05:06] <Meroigo> NET||abuse: i know one! :)
[05:06] <blix> gparted claims the partition is not formated..
[05:06] <Meroigo> NET||abuse: EasyTAG
[05:06] <NET||abuse> Maybe something i could right click a group of files and bulk update the details.... Meroigo: sure,,
[05:06] <age6racer> perfect. thanks falstius
[05:06] <Meroigo> i used it like yesterday
[05:06] <Meroigo> and it can change many files at the same time etc
[05:06] <NET||abuse> Meroigo: thanks ;)
[05:06] <NET||abuse> sweet ;)
[05:06] <Meroigo> and like change artist/album on many files
[05:06] <Meroigo> you find it if you go to Applications
[05:06] <upd> how can i unpack .gz ?
[05:07] <Meroigo> Add/Remove
[05:07] <Meroigo> and search: id3
[05:07] <Meroigo> :P
[05:07] <Meroigo> or maybe just EasyTAG
[05:07] <nosklo> iratik: your resolv.conf seems ok
[05:07] <nandemonai> upd: gzip -d
[05:07] <nosklo> iratik: dig is using the correct nameserver, I wonder why ping isnt
[05:07] <nandemonai> upd: Or Archive manager or some such in gui.
[05:08] <iratik> nosklo: <IP_ADDRESS> was an activedirectory DNS server :: when i switched the order of prepend-domain-name-servers in resolv.conf ... ping worked and was able to resolve ...... i edited /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to reflect the change in priority of dns servers .... everything is up and going
[05:08] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : there is no option in my bios (acer laptop aspire 4520) to disable modem... any other ideas?
[05:08] <blix> At least one operation was applied to a busy device.
[05:08] <nosklo> but dig is using <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:08] <blix> how do I get rid of that message when formatted through gparted
[05:08] <Falstius> age6racer: does it work? (test with a long time like 10 minutes and then ctrl-c or shutdown -c to cancel)
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: If it is a built in modem, I have not seen a system that would not let you disable it..  odd.
[05:09] <upd> nandemonai, thanks
[05:09] <nosklo> iratik: that's still weird as dig is using the nameserver
[05:09] <nosklo> iratik: as you can see in the end of its response
[05:09] <blix> I'm using the Ubuntu ISO disk...running through limited graphics mode...surely I'm using the hard drive??
[05:09] <iratik> nosklo: i know .... why it is doing that
[05:09] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : The bios has only basic functions like date / time, set boot order (cd, hdd etc)
[05:09] <Meroigo> Does it exsist a nice GUI based program where you can code, debug and compile C++ programs you've written?
[05:09] <lnx> how i can detect the windows manager with bash script ?
[05:09] <blix> Im wondering if I should delete other partitions off the drive
[05:10] <Meroigo> like Visual Studio .NET for Windows :p
[05:10] <skinhead_7115> jai
[05:10] <Bruum> I have Liksyns wirless card, i cant connect to network, someone who can help me?????

[05:10] <nandemonai> Meroigo: There are a few, I'm not a big c coder myself (more web stuff) but take a look in the repos under development.
[05:10] <NET||abuse> just had the bioshock soundtrack downloaded, wanted to update some details as it was a little lacking
[05:10] <Meroigo> nandemonai: okey
[05:10] <lnx> Exsteris , what you mean ?
[05:11] <nosklo> Meroigo: you may try Anjuta, Kdevelop, emacs... I use the latter.
[05:11] <Bruum> !wifi
[05:11] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:11] <blix> how come gparted formats 160gigs so quick?
[05:11] <blix> is it a quick format?
[05:12] <blix> I deleted all the other partitions and there was no error this time
[05:12] <Meroigo> nosklo: tanks, ill check em out
[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: I didnt see any link for a manual on that... You may end up having to blacklist the modem driver... and I dont have a clue on how to do that
[05:12] <Bruum> I have Liksyns wirless card, i cant connect to network, someone who can help me?????
[05:12] <blix> Bruum
[05:12] <nandemonai> blix: gparted only partitions to my knowledge not format.
[05:13] <blix> nan
[05:13] <blix> how do I then format??
[05:13] <blix> I will consider you a legend if you let me know
[05:13] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : basically i bought a new laptop and the sound wont work... the "aplay -l" lists both the sound card (NVidia) and modem as card 0. So i figured if i somehow kill the modem, the soundcard will work :)
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> blix: right click and see if you get any options
[05:13] <jeffferrari> blix: from my experience with a 1Tb hd about 2 weeks ago it should be done
[05:13] <arun> when you use kate to edit any file, it automatically creates a backup file as well. does gedit do that as well?
[05:14] <blix> lol
[05:14] <nandemonai> blix: depends on filesystem, for ext3 for example: mkfs.ext3
[05:14] <jeffferrari> blix: it's like a quick format or something, only sets the markers and fs type
[05:14] <Exsteris> arun: yes
[05:14] <lnx> Exsteris , i cant send pm's :( but how i can check if process is running ? ( if compiz.real ?? ? ? ) ?
[05:14] <arun> Exsteris: great..
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: Ah.. doubt that is the problrm..
[05:14] <h_> does anyone here know where i can pay to have my ubuntu probs fixed?
[05:14] <ubuntu__> Im back
[05:15] <x600> Where can I put scripts in X-Chat?
[05:15] <ubuntu__> jack...
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> msound: I am trying to get some other work done but check into this..
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[05:15] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:15] <msound> Jack_Sparrow : thanks. will do.
[05:15] <ubuntu__> I right click..there are options to format..I click ntfs..and I get no errors back
[05:15] <abhi> how can i add the keybinding for places and system in taskbar. there is only one keybinding(alt+F1) for Applications?
[05:15] <ubuntu__> it seems to do this very quick..I'm wondering if this is like a quick format in Windows
[05:16] <h_> can anyone help?
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: Most likely... not writing every track sector marker
[05:16] <jeffferrari> ubuntu__: yeah, it doesn't zero the disk... just sets the markers
[05:16] <froj1> !bluetooth
[05:16] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: Probably just sets an ID
[05:16] <ubuntu__> jack, jeff - ok
[05:16] <ubuntu__> so where do I go to do a proper format
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: May I ask why... It should be fine as it is
[05:17] <blix> test
[05:17] <blix> I guess...
[05:17] <jeffferrari> blix: what for? does it work?
[05:17] <blix> so now if I stick in a Windows XP disc..I should be able to install Windows
[05:17] <Lacrymology> do I keep my java- packages after getting the sun-java packages?
[05:17] <jeffferrari> blix: if it works, don't worry - otherwise you could use dd to zero the disk first
[05:17] <blix> let me see...
[05:17] <lnx> how i can detect process ? with bash script ?
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu__: YOu can look at HIrens cd for some ntfs diag tools
[05:17] <t4m1n0> !bluetooth
[05:17] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:18] <blix> zeroing the disk would help..
[05:18] <blix> then I'll apply a format
[05:18] <neverblue> morning
[05:18] <Bruum> SOmeone who have Linksys PCI card who can help me out?????? cant get online whith it!!!!!!
[05:18] <nandemonai> lnx: something like ps -A | grep foobar maybe?
[05:19] <blix> Bruum ... calm down!
[05:19] <neverblue> Bruum, the excessive ? and ! are not necessary
[05:19] <Bruum> blix : sorry, frustrated after 2 weeks with trying and trying, sorry
[05:19] <neverblue> Bruum, do you see the card in lspci ?
[05:19] <Bruum> rgr.
[05:19] <blix> yeah I know the rage..
[05:19] <Bruum> neverblue : yes
[05:19] <jeffferrari> blix: you could try CAREFULLY (read the docs first): dd if=/dev/zero =/dev/hda or somehting like that
[05:20] <neverblue> Bruum, do you have an drivers loaded for it?
[05:20] <blix> ok jeff
[05:20] <jeffferrari> blix: to tell you the truth though, I think it's a waste of time
[05:20] <Bruum> i have it on cd yes, "windows drivers"
[05:20] <jeffferrari> blix: just try installing windows now, if gparted did not report an error it should be good to go
[05:20] <neverblue> Bruum, currently, as in not sitting on a CD somewhere
[05:20] <pasqualer92> ops scusmy
[05:20] <pasqualer92> chan nufficialy italian?
[05:20] <kdub432> anyone know the channel for suspend / hibernate problems?
[05:21] <Bruum> neverblue : you mean?
[05:21] <jeffferrari> !it | pasqualer92
[05:21] <ubotu> pasqualer92: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:21] <blix> jeffferarri - the feeling is mutual
[05:21] <blix> I'm going to give it a bash now
[05:21] <pasqualer92> grz
[05:21] <lnx> Exsteris , ?
[05:21] <blix> if I'm not back in 20mins...then your advice will have worked
[05:22] <lunaso><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:22] <blix> nevertheless..."I'll be back"
[05:22] <blix> thanks.
[05:22] <jeffferrari> hopefully I'll be asleep in 20 mins :)
[05:22] <blix> :P
[05:22] <blix> brb (or maybe not)
[05:23] <blix> jeffferrari...I think the problem before was because there were other partitions set up
[05:23] <neverblue> Bruum, do you have multiple NIC cards in your system?
[05:23] <kbuntu> need a little help please, i can't connect to a dc++ hub with dcgui
[05:23] <blix> i.e. swap, etc...
[05:23] <lnx> nandemonai , yes its good now in bash how i can check if what grep return is more that 0 chars ?
[05:23] <bullgard4> Who can tell me what a 'capture device' is? I have got an 'ALC883 Analog ALSA capture device'
[05:23] <arunkale> anyone know any good gnome-based IDEs?
[05:23] <neverblue> bullgard4, a microphone
[05:23] <Bruum> neverblue : no
[05:23] <blix> I'll be back
[05:23] <neverblue> Bruum, anything special about your system setup I should know about ?
[05:24] <bullgard4> neverblue: But why is this not called a microphone?
[05:24] <lnx> how i can check if what grep return is more that 0 chars ?
[05:24] <Bruum> yes, Linksys wirless "many pepole have/had the same problem"
[05:24] <kbuntu> help please? i can't connect to a dc++ hub with dcgui
[05:24] <Bruum> yust installed ubuntu
[05:24] <nandemonai> lnx: My bash scripting is horrid, lowly web coder here I'm afraid.
[05:25] <neverblue> Bruum, if others are having the same problem, you probably want to try the forums
[05:25] <mdk3> QUESTION: in terminal i execute 'sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf'.. output is 'driver bcmwl5 is already installed'... i then run 'ndiswrapper -l'... output shows 'bcmwl5 : invalid driver!'... how do i fix this problem and install my wireless card drivers?... PM WITH ANSWER, THANK YOU.
[05:25] <jeffferrari> bullgard4: because linux is modular and they leave the term open to include all capture devices (line-in etc)
[05:25] <mdk3> I just double checked.. the bcmwl5.inf is what i want for the dell inspiron 5150 model... i still have the same problem
[05:25] <Bruum> neverblue : i have tryd it out, but havent find the solution yet
[05:26] <neverblue> bullgard4, you have a card in your system that accepts input, to input the audio, you would need a device, such as a microphone
[05:26] <neverblue> Bruum, then you probably wont find one here either
[05:26] <jeffferrari> mdk3: what version of ndiswrapper you using?
[05:26] <mdk3> jeff: i downloaded 1.48, installed it.. and encountered some errors
[05:26] <samuel> sup all
[05:26] <nandemonai> Quick off topic question guys, since most of you probably have some wifi exp.. I have a card here without an antenna.. Not sure where it went, but you think it would still get a connection without it? Would only be say 8-10 metres away from AP.
[05:27] <neverblue> Bruum, my point being, I probably cannot help you
[05:27] <jeffferrari> mdk3: during installation?
[05:27] <mdk3> jeff: so i downloaded 1.47 and tried that, but had trouble uninstalling BOTH versions
[05:27] <jeffferrari> lol
[05:27] <t4m1n0> hello there
[05:27] <mdk3> jeff: no, during ndiswrapper -i driver.inf
[05:27] <kbuntu> oh my god guys please help me with dcgui
[05:27] <t4m1n0> where can I found alocal?? ./bootstrap: 3: aclocal: not found
[05:27] <samuel> ive an ubuntu pc that runs fine for a while and then locks up completely, im imagining it may be hardware related because it ran prefectly fine before, but i dont know, any ideas?
[05:27] <t4m1n0> aclocal*
[05:28] <Timo> I just installed ubuntu and a web server (apache2) for the very first time. Everything works and am just wondering what file I edit and where is it located to tell apache2 to use a folder say on an external harddrive for the web so it'll bring up that folder as an apache2 directory???
[05:28] <nandemonai> samuel: Check you /var/log/messages see if anything iffy shows up.
[05:28] <bullgard4> neverblue: So, Device Manager could have calles ALC883 an 'Analog ALSA input device'. Why do they invent a new word 'capture'?
[05:28] <bullgard4> called
[05:28] <jeffferrari> mdk3: remove driver using ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5, remove both versions of ndiswrapper (and make sure they are removed) then blacklist bcm43xx
[05:28] <neverblue> bullgard4, i do not name devices, sorry
[05:29] <nandemonai> Timo: /etc/apache2 is the conf dir
[05:29] <Sheliak> \leave
[05:29] <Timo> Gotcha
[05:29] <mdk3> jeff: ok. specifically - how do i remove both versions of ndiswrapper and blacklist bcm43xx?
[05:30] <samuel> nandemonai: thanks ill look, any ideas what a common cause of hardware failure is?
[05:30] <nandemonai> So, no-one tried a wifi card without the antenna? I might just give it a go ;)
[05:30] <jeffferrari> mdk3: blacklist bcm43xx by adding it to modprobe's blacklist files (check /etc/modprobe.d
[05:30] <nandemonai> samuel: If it's hardware it could be anything.. overheating, memory, pci card. Hard to tell sometimes.
[05:31] <ShockUBT> if i just type "su" into the terminal, should that be using the root password for authentication
[05:31] <ShockUBT> ?
[05:31] <LiveFire> Hi - I have a question. I just downloaded Ubuntu (server edition) and burned an image on a cd.  I installed the cd into the designated computer for bootup - at what point will this allow me to install a new OS on the system?  or how can I get to the setup so I can setup my server?
[05:31] <fyrestrtr> Timo: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-8c16bcd2517fa5b9fa35d616f00d3bb59e981373
[05:31] <jeffferrari> mdk3: I just checked mine - /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I added "blacklist bcm43xx" to the top
[05:32] <nandemonai> samuel: If you see any messages in /var/log/messages about failures that can be helpful. Put it up on pastebin if you like and I can take a look.
[05:32] <Pici> ShockUBT: Use sudo instead.
[05:32] <samuel> nandemonai: thanks
[05:32] <fyrestrtr> jeffferrari: you add just bcm43xx not blacklist bcm43xx
[05:32] <fyrestrtr> LiveFire: when it boots up from the cdrom, it will start the install process.
[05:32] <kbuntu> can anyone please help me with dcgui ?!?!?!
[05:33] <mdk3> jeff: im in etc/modprobe.d - how do i blacklist/add bcm43xx?
[05:33] <n00dl3> mdk3: Edit the blacklist file xP
[05:33] <ShockUBT> Pici: i can't
[05:33] <jeffferrari> mdk3: do you see the other lines that have "blacklist modulename"?
[05:34] <Pici> ShockUBT: why not?
[05:34] <ShockUBT> Pici: this install script uses "su" for me, i think.
[05:34] <fyrestrtr> mdk3: sudo tee -a bcm43xx /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:34] <ShockUBT> it installs ncsvc
[05:34] <Pici> ShockUBT: I dont know what that is.
[05:34] <ShockUBT> something to do with virtual private networks, i assume
[05:35] <ShockUBT> maybe i can get it as an apt-get package
[05:35] <Pici> ShockUBT: I'd do that before running any scripts ;)
[05:35] <jeffferrari> fyrestrtr: only thing there, when I actually look at the blacklist file, all the other modules that are blacklisted by default in ubuntu have "blacklist" in front of them
[05:36] <samuel> nandemonai: http://pastebin.ca/672413 i dont see anything odd there
[05:36] <mdk3> jeff/fyre - i ran sudo tee - a bcm43xx /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist... the terminal is blank now? advise?
[05:36] <kbuntu> jesus christ ... tell me who to use dcgui please!!!!!!!
[05:37] <n00dl3> weeee
[05:37] <ShockUBT> Pici: here's something from a forum post: "
[05:37] <ShockUBT> The installer wants to use su, not sudo. I just set my root password to something while I installed it, then reset it again later"
[05:37] <neverblue> kbuntu, please use a bit of patience, it will get you further here
[05:38] <jeffferrari> mdk3: can you do cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and confirm there is a line that reads "blacklist bcm43xx"?
[05:38] <Falstius> kbuntu: dcgui is in the universe repository ... most people probably don't use it.
[05:38] <vas> hey guys bear with me here, but I installed a couple appls with apt-get through command line in Ubuntu (Feisty), and I am not sure how the heck to run them
[05:38] <vas> one being beagle
[05:38] <vas> help please
[05:38] <kbuntu> valknut is not so pretty
[05:38] <kbuntu> Falstius, give me an alternative please!
[05:39] <giany911> kbuntu valknut
[05:39] <dwa> i agree valknut is not for people who are keen on usability
[05:39] <jeffferrari> fyrestrtr: just read the modprobe.conf man page, says blacklist must be in front of config files in /etc/modprobe.d
[05:39] <neverblue> vas, does it show in your Applications Menu ?
[05:39] <kbuntu> another
[05:39] <vas> neverblue negatory
[05:39] <vas> I got Beagle
[05:39] <dwa> i don't think there are better alternatives for linux kbuntu
[05:39] <neverblue> vas, then try to run from command line
[05:39] <Falstius> kbuntu: I'm not even sure what it is.  A P2P app?
[05:39] <giany911> i think valknut is better than dcpp
[05:40] <kbuntu> yes Falstius
[05:40] <dwa> valknut is a powerful program
[05:40] <dwa> but hard to get into initally
[05:40] <kbuntu> it's ugly
[05:40] <mdk3> jeff/fyre - i ran cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.. no line reads "blacklist bcm43xx"
[05:40] <giany911> kbuntu ..i suggest you try both dcpp and valknut and you decide
[05:40] <dwa> ugly doesn't matter :)
[05:40] <kbuntu> sudo apt-get install dcpp ?
[05:40] <giany911> it gets the job done!
[05:40] <giany911> thats the point
[05:40] <n00dl3> mdk3: I think they wanted you to add it xP
[05:40] <dwa> giany911: i was typing the exact sentence ;)
[05:40] <giany911> :)
[05:41] <mdk3> noodl3: xP is a new term to me =P
[05:41] <branstrom> I have an nvidia card - how do I enable direct rendering on it? It seems like it's needed for compiz fusion
[05:41] <giany911> kbuntu dcpp = linuxdcpp which i think you already have or am i wrong ?
[05:41] <n00dl3> mdk3: It's just a face thinger lol
[05:41] <craven> hello i have a netgear wg111 v2 and thw wiki says it work out of the box but its not can someone please help?
[05:41] <ctaloi> Hello, I have a script thats capturing lots of packets using tshark.
[05:41] <ctaloi> The capture files are owned as root, because the tshark process that captures needs to be run as root (to put the interface in promiscuous mode).  I'm trying to get a Apache to read the files - but can't because of the permissions... the capture command will never end, so I can't chown the files after the capture stops, any thoughts?
[05:41] <jeffferrari> mdk3: does grep "bcm43xx /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" read anything? noodl3 is right, add it if it's not there
[05:41] <ShockUBT> so, if "su" doesn't work, does that mean that my root account is disabled?
[05:41] <vas> neverblue how would I do that... where are the files located that I need to run.. init.d is empty
[05:42] <kbuntu> giany911, i don't undestand "DriveCrypt Plus Pack (DCPP) is a Full disk encryption software package which encrypts the operating system, and allows pre-boot authentication. ..."
[05:42] <vas> srry neverblue but I have experience only with ubuntu in CLI (server addition)
[05:42] <fyrestrtr> !root > ShockUBT
[05:42] <giany911> kbuntu dcpp = linuxdcpp which i think you already have or am i wrong ?
[05:42] <ShockUBT> ?
[05:42] <kbuntu> you are wrong
[05:42] <mdk3> jeff: yes. the output shows the text in the blacklist file... how do i add xP?
[05:42] <neverblue> vas, type in the command in a shell
[05:43] <giany911> kbuntu ... well .. in synaptic when i search for dcpp .. linuxdcpp is the only thing i find so ...
[05:43] <vas> neverblue what do I type
[05:43] <n00dl3> mdk3: xP is an emoticon lol, like :P
[05:43] <neverblue> vas what are you trying to run ?
[05:43] <vas> Beagle
[05:43] <mdk3> lmao
[05:43] <jeffferrari> mdk3: does it have the word "blacklist" in front? quite important
[05:43] <alberticor> aupa
[05:43] <kbuntu> no linuxdcpp is shown in synaptic
[05:44] <giany911> umm ..so you run kubuntu and not ubuntu ? :)
[05:44] <neverblue> vas, then you might want to type that in the command line (case sensitive)
[05:44] <n00dl3> mdk3: echo "blacklist modulename" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  ;; Probably need sudo
[05:44] <mdk3> jeff: let me thank you for your patience first and foremost.... what should have 'blacklist' in front of it?
[05:44] <vas> neverblue nah its not working
[05:44] <blix> hi folks
[05:44] <ProN00b> are there any tools to set up a custom keyboard layout ? some keys are not getting detected correctly
[05:44] <kbuntu> giany911, tell me how to use dcgui
[05:45] <blix> I'm back...Windows XP boot didn't work :-(
[05:45] <n00dl3> blix: yay
[05:45] <neverblue> !case sensitive
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about case sensitive - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <blix> loool
[05:45] <super-6-1> hello i have a netgear wg111 v2 and thw wiki says it work out of the box but its not can someone please help?
[05:45] <jeffferrari> mdk3: well, I think your blacklist file has bcm43xx in it, but it needs to have the word blacklist before that...
[05:45] <ProN00b> kbuntu, don't use dcgui, i think it sucks, you need linuxdcpp... which you can only build from source at the moment
[05:45] <blix> I'm trapped in Ubuntu
[05:45] <giany911> kbuntu ... well ... its something i can explain ... 1st you have to join some hubs ..then search and download .. ..
[05:45] <jeffferrari> blix: what happened
[05:45] <blix> I honestly only need Windows XP for games
[05:45] <giany911> *its not
[05:45] <blix> hey jeff
[05:46] <kbuntu> i`m trying to connect to a hub giany911, but it says it can't connect
[05:46] <mdk3> jeff: i open up my blacklist file... "blacklist bcm43xx" nor "bcm43xx" are listed in it.
[05:46] <blix> same story...Windows Setup didn't recognise a drive
[05:46] <ProN00b> kbuntu, join #linuxdc++ and ask them for help
[05:46] <vas> neverblue yes I have tried with and without case sensetivity
[05:46] <blix> I was told there was issues with a SATA HD
[05:46] <blix> when booting
[05:46] <blix> I'm not too convinced.
[05:46] <jeffferrari> ok, so add a new line "blacklist bcm43xx" anywhere in there
[05:46] <giany911> kbuntu ..did you share anything, and try other hubs
[05:46] <fr500> super-6-1: please elaborate
[05:46] <blix> mmm, this is frustrating.
[05:46] <ProN00b> blix, if your disk needs additional drivers you need to insert them on windows installation somewhere
[05:47] <super-6-1> fr500: what do you mean the problem?
[05:47] <blix> I can't see how I need to...
[05:47] <kbuntu> giany911, i want to join my hub, with my nick :D no share needed
[05:47] <jeffferrari> !windows

[05:47] <fr500> super-6-1: yes
[05:47] <giany911> and ? what ... happens when you try that kbuntu
[05:47] <feanyu> hello
[05:47] <ProN00b> blix, me neither...

[05:48] <kbuntu> yep
[05:48] <ProN00b> blix, lol, sucks to be you
[05:48] <ProN00b> blix, next time buy a real computer
[05:48] <xayon> Hi, I'm installing a joystick in kernel 2.6.15-23 but I can't find joystick device anywhere it isnt in /dev/js and when I look in dmesg it says it's in /class/input/input6 but in /dev/input there isnt any input6 :/ I've this working on debian.
[05:48] <Cuzz> Hi, has anybody installed 8600GT drivers? Everything worked fine (including Beryl) but when i restart i get "the X server is now disabled". Any ideas?
[05:48] <giany911> im not sure what to do ... try any other hub see if the same thing happens kbuntu
[05:48] <blix> lol
[05:48] <blix> yeah it so does...
[05:48] <kbuntu> same thing
[05:48] <super-6-1> fr500: i have a hp with ubuntu 7.04 alternative installed. and i have a netgear wg111 v2 and for some reason it wont work. on the ubuntu site i saw a list of working usb adapters and now it wont work
[05:48] <blix> it sucks to be me right now
[05:49] <giany911> kbuntu ... try valknut ... see if the same thing happens there ... im not sure how to help you
[05:49] <fr500> super-6-1: is the card recognized
[05:49] <fr500> ?
[05:49] <blix> I'm checking the manufacturer of my laptop
[05:49] <super-6-1> fr500: yes
[05:49] <fr500> try iwconfig
[05:49] <jeffferrari> blix: dude, why don't you use gparted to set the partitions without actually formatting then just use windows installer to format? if it can't get that far its having trouble detecting the hd at all
[05:49] <super-6-1> i think
[05:49] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[05:49] <super-6-1> hold on firing up my laptop
[05:49] <kbuntu> giany911, with valknut works
[05:50] <blix> jeff...let me check
[05:50] <giany911> kbuntu wait .. valknut and dcgui is the same thing as far as i can see ...
[05:50] <kbuntu> noap...
[05:50] <kbuntu> two different software
[05:50] <akirch> I've got an asterisk database file (which is in Berkeley/Sleepycat 1.85 format) I am attempting to find a utility in the db4 install called db4_dump185 which will allow me to dump this database to text for conversion.  The problem is that file doesn't seem to be in the standard sources, nor do any of the other db4 utils related to upgrading this database.  How would I get ahold of the package maintainer?
[05:50] <annihilus> can anyone name a good app for testing regex's
[05:51] <giany911> kbuntu when i start valknut the ... let's call it "welcome screen" point's me to dcgui.berlios.de ...so ..
[05:51] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! Theres a package that wants constant update, to its own current revision... updating it yields no error messages... but the update notification wont go away... any solution to this?
[05:51] <ScottLij> Whats the version of Ubuntu where many codecs come preinstalled?
[05:51] <kbuntu> ah.. maybe.....
[05:51] <neverblue> vas, do you know what beagle is used for?
[05:51] <mdk3> jeff: how can i add line "blacklist bcm43xx" to the blacklist file... it says i do not have the permission to do so.
[05:51] <giany911>  scottlij are you talking about mediabuntu ? or ultimate ?
[05:51] <super-6-1> fr500: sometimes the pc wont even see the usb adapter
[05:52] <Slart> annihilus: I just googled for some regexp tutorials and I think I saw some java, online app where you could test regexps.. not much help, I know.. but at least you know it's out there
[05:52] <super-6-1> Okey ~  hold on
[05:52] <giany911>  scottlij umm correction medibuntu that is
[05:52] <jeffferrari> mdk3: you need to be root... what prog are you trying to edit it with?
[05:52] <annihilus> Slart, yeah i had noticed that one also, im looking for something close to the way regexbuddy works in windows
[05:52] <mdk3> jeff: gedit
[05:52] <Cuzz> I installed 8600GT deivers manulay and Beryl and everything worked beautifully. Vista looks like looks like DOS. But when i restarted i got the X-server Blue screen. Says : The X server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly" Any help is appreciated, Thanx!
[05:52] <annihilus> Slart, thanks alot though
[05:52] <n00dl3> mdk3: type: sudo echo "blacklist bcm43xx" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:53] <fr500> super-6-1: after hibernation maybe?
[05:53] <giany911> kbuntu if things work with valknut you should stick to it ... you will get used to it in time ... not sure what else to say
[05:53] <blix> with gparted...you appear to be forced to select a filesystem
[05:53] <ion> what are lowlatency kernels used for?
[05:53] <kupang> hi guys...
[05:53] <Slart> annihilus: you're welcome.. if I find it again I'll let you know
[05:53] <kupang> i;m noob here..
[05:53] <jeffferrari> mdk3: try: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:53] <kupang> trying to make my audigy card to work on ubuntu..
[05:53] <kbuntu> giany911, thanks man, anyway ... valknut sucks... the layout...
[05:53] <jeffferrari> noodl3: I suspect he already has a bcm43xx loading line... want to make sure thats not there
[05:54] <mdk3> jeff: ok it worked..
[05:54] <giany911> kbuntu ... you won't find any eye-candy, good-looking, easy to use dc++ client
[05:54] <giany911> kupang ..so where are you stuck ?
[05:54] <super-6-1> fr500: i get too networks on with wlanmaster and wlan
[05:54] <mdk3> jeff: how do i make sure i remove both 1.47 and 1.48 versions of ndiswrapper?
[05:54] <administrador> hello
[05:54] <super-6-1> n
[05:54] <jeffferrari> mdk3: did you compile from source?
[05:54] <kupang> the thing is.. i can see the volume icon on the taskbar..
[05:54] <kupang> but i cant hear no sound comng out..
[05:55] <giany911> kupang http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_change_the_default_soundcard
[05:55] <giany911> you will find more info there ...
[05:55] <fr500> super-6-1: do you have more than one wifi adapter?
[05:55] <jeffferrari> mdk3: actually, it doesn't matter... do "ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5" then reboot the computer
[05:55] <kupang> i;ll try to head there..
[05:55] <super-6-1> fr500: no i dont
[05:56] <mdk3> jeff: directory doesn't exist... i will reboot now
[05:56] <giany911> kupang i have a audigy SE it works ok ...so don't worry you will get it to work
[05:56] <peeps_work> open office won't load argh
[05:56] <peeps_work> it loads some days, other days it doesn't
[05:56] <super-6-1> fr500: at this point when i go online it only does looking up ( website here ) and does server not found
[05:56] <blix> right...ntfs...why doesn't Windows XP want to know
[05:57] <peeps_work> this is incredibly annoying
[05:57] <blix> stoopid MS.
[05:57] <ProN00b> how do i find my keymap config file and change it ?
[05:57] <ProN00b> blix, your disk only gets detected on linux ?
[05:57] <ProN00b> is it your main disk ?
[05:57] <ProN00b> does it detect it as free space ?
[05:57] <fr500> super-6-1: do you have a dhcp server?
[05:57] <ProN00b> or does it detect nothing ?
[05:57] <peeps_work> Open Office writer gives me this error: ** (process:5168): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ...
[05:58] <super-6-1> fr500: umm nope i dont think
[05:58] <Slart> annihilus: this guy says he's got an older version available for linux.. he's not supporting it anymore but it's not that old, http://weitz.de/regex-coach
[05:58] <blix> ProN00b...yeah only gets detected in Linux..and yes it is my main disk
[05:58] <fr500> super-6-1: then you need to configure your network card manually
[05:58] <ProN00b> blix, just give a complete description of your problem, post it on the forum or something, with those sparse bits of info noone can help you here; in fact i hate you for it
[05:58] <blix> Windows XP doesn't recognise any sort of disk
[05:58] <super-6-1> fr500: what do you mean?
[05:58] <nandemonai> Still having issues blix? Tried what I said about ahci? XP probably needs drivers to install less it's set to ide/compat mode.
[05:58] <mdk3> jeff: i'm rebooted.. advise from here?
[05:58] <super-6-1> fr500: like ip ds all that?
[05:58] <fr500> super-6-1: if there is no dhcp you need to setup your ip address, gateway, dns
[05:59] <giany911> peeps_work a short google search reavealed this to me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288684
[05:59] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[05:59] <ProN00b> blix, the windows install or a windows that is running ?
[05:59] <super-6-1> well i have no clue how to do that o well
[05:59] <blix> so many questions..
[05:59] <jeffferrari> mdk3: do ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf like you normally do, see what happens
[05:59] <blix> right I think should take this to the forum
[05:59] <ProN00b> blix, fck you
[05:59] <freepenguin> ho notato che se cerco qualcosa per i primi 10-15 secondi mi trova i file normali dopodich cominciano ad arrivare centinaia e centinaia di altri file con nome simile, ma che si vede che non sono veri, come se ci fosse qualche script o roba varia
[05:59] <blix> ok...ProN00b...whatever. I'm the one with the problem, not you.
[05:59] <jeffferrari> mdk3: normally bcm43xx interferes... hopefully not this time :)
[05:59] <freepenguin> vi risulta anche a voi  o  solo una cs mia?
[05:59] <nandemonai> ...
[06:00] <slawek__> hey
[06:00] <ProN00b> blix, yeah, well i try to help and you say " so many questions.." what kind of attitude is that ??
[06:00] <slawek__> i need driver to my cell phone
[06:00] <nandemonai> Anyhoo, blix: no options for ahci in bios?
[06:00] <blix> Pr0Noob...the Windows install, I'm basically trying to install Windows XP on a blank disk..
[06:00] <ProN00b> blix, obviously i can't help without info
[06:00] <slawek__> !!!
[06:00] <sk1t3lles> I have a macbook pro which I installed ubuntu on but I have no sound can anyone tell me how I can get sound working?
[06:00] <giany911> freepenguin #ubuntu-it ?
[06:00] <ProN00b> blix it doesn't detect it at all ?
[06:00] <blix> and I will provide information in due course
[06:00] <annihilus> Slart, cool thanks alot ill check it out
[06:00] <blix> someone asked me about the bios..
[06:00] <blix> there was no option for that..
[06:01] <blix> it seemed really restricted
[06:01] <super-6-1> fr500: i copyed the info from my windows ipconfig and change the IP by one number
[06:01] <jeffferrari> !ubuntu-it | freepenguin
[06:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-it - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:01] <blix> ProN00b
[06:01] <blix> yes
[06:01] <fr500> super-6-1: and now it works?
[06:01] <blix> When booting with the Windows XP CD...the setup does not recognise a disk
[06:01] <giany911> sk1t3lles see if this helps out http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_change_the_default_soundcard
[06:01] <super-6-1> well i hope
[06:01] <super-6-1> fr500: it worked
[06:01] <blix> I have used gparted to set a ntfs partition..but still no luck
[06:01] <nandemonai> blix: Okies. Just I know that XP hates most ahci controllers without drivers and usually you can get around this by setting ahci to ide/compat mode.
[06:01] <mike__> quick question, im changing grub to choose windows first, and i want windows at the top, where do i place the windows section?
[06:01] <super-6-1> fr500: im connected
[06:02] <sk1t3lles> giany911, thank you
[06:02] <jeffferrari> blix: I'd prob try booting to the windows shell and using fdisk to try resetting disk labels
[06:02] <mike__> right above the linux portions? or isnt there a section up higher?
[06:02] <blix> ahci to ide/compat mode...mmm
[06:02] <blix> ok
[06:02] <nandemonai> blix: Without the option in bios you may need to track down installer drivers for that controller.
[06:02] <tanath> i just had a strange error
[06:02] <super-6-1> fr500: thanks for you time and effort to help me out with my problem
[06:02] <tanath> my computer froze, the pc speaker started going, and the caps-lock light started flashing. i had to press reset
[06:02] <blix> if I can get a windows command prompt I would be fine..
[06:02] <giany911> sk1t3lles don't thank me yet .. im not 100% sure it will work ... but you can get some help on the forums if it doesnt
[06:02] <caner> how can i make feisty to detect my usb printer (hp psc 1410). it is listed in "lsusb" but i simply cannot use it.
[06:02] <tanath> anyone have any idea what might cause that?
[06:02] <blix> where are the days of floppy disks
[06:03] <fr500> super-6-1: no prob
[06:03] <nandemonai> blix: That's my point though.. it sounds like your controller is just too new for xp's installer. I had the exact same thing on asus p5b but luckily I ave ahci options in bios.
[06:04] <caner> i get an error "The CUPS server could not be contacted."
[06:04] <giany911> caner there's someting about your printer here check it out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348353&page=2
[06:04] <blix> ahci...
[06:04] <blix> right I think I need to check that out
[06:04] <nandemonai> blix: So without drivers I doubt you'll get xp seeing the hd essentially.
[06:04] <blix> if I don't find it..I will certainly be back
[06:04] <blix> yeah I need to hunt down those drivers
[06:04] <blix> bugger
[06:04] <tanath> anyone know what might cause the capslock key to flash?
[06:05] <nandemonai> got a floppy handy?
[06:05] <giany911> tanath maybe ubuntu thinks it's christmas :)
[06:05] <tanath> lol
[06:05] <Jamesinator> tanath: Starting with the obvious, nothing is physically wrong with the keyboard? There's no pressure on the capslock key or on the pad underneath it?
[06:05] <nandemonai> tanath: is the system frozen? could be a kernel panic
[06:05] <tanath> nandemonai: that's prolly what it was
[06:05] <tanath> nandemonai: my computer froze, the pc speaker started going, and the capslock key was flashing
[06:06] <tanath> nandemonai: er, capslock light
[06:06] <nandemonai> tanath: Yup, sounds like a panic to me.
[06:06] <pondus> okey, this BITCHx is seems kinda hard to crack :)
[06:06] <mdk3> jeff: says "bcmwl5 : invalid driver!"
[06:06] <pondus> exit
[06:06] <tanath> nandemonai: what might have caused that?
[06:06] <pondus> quit

[06:10] <tanath> nandemonai: first time i've had one. i'd like to find out what caused it. :-/
[06:10] <nandemonai> tanath: If you can figure out what time it happened and look in the log around that time.. umm messages in /var/log might help too
[06:10] <tanath> nandemonai: actually, i had one on boot w/debian before i think, but this one was wholly unexpected
[06:10] <caner> how can i fix this error "The CUPS server could not be contacted."
[06:10] <caner> i cant use my prnter
[06:11] <nathan> how do I disable the splash screen at beginning of login?
