[16:47] <tritium> zoomboot8: there's no mechanism by which a DVD burner could be damaged or killed by burning
[16:48] <rsk> kdub: wait untill  the day before releas'es :)
[16:48] <chelz> kdub: unga bunga will rule all
[16:48] <DRebellion> zoomboot8, its not like the software could 'overheat' the drive or something... this is down to the chips in the hardware
[16:48] <kdub> tritium: except if you literally burn it.... :-)
[16:48] <tritium> kdub: true ;)
[16:49] <Nutzebahn> I am in the KDevelop interface designer and I don't know how to bring up the code window for the button I added to the form, how do I?
[16:49] <iRRVi> okay i figured out what was wrong with the gvc - but i cant figure out how to fix it: it says "Error...shared library thingy...libshpinxad.so.0"...but its right there at /usr/local/lib/libsphinxad.so.0 (the error says no such file or directory)
[16:50] <zoomboot8> tritium, DRebellion: all I know is that I was happily burning ISOs in Windows, then I installed Ubuntu, and the second ISO I burnt froze halfway through the burn, and when I reset the computer the DVD drive was completely broken.
[16:50] <incorrect> when did traceroute change it default to udp rather than icmp?
[16:50] <RobF_> bod_, I'll it up for you
[16:50] <tritium> zoomboot8: like I said earlier, the hardware must have failed on its own, and would have done so on Windows too, had you been using it at the time
[16:50] <pike_> incorrect: long as i can remember in the gnu version
[16:50] <v3ctor> Nutzebahn: you are using KDE?
[16:50] <bod_> RobF_, what?
[16:51] <pike_> incorrect: its a pain first time you use it :)
[16:51] <l815> is there a fix for the blurry fonts in open office?
[16:51] <incorrect> pike_, i remember a time when it was icmp
[16:52] <incorrect> i didn't even know it had changed

[16:53] <DetrOiD> #sekas
[16:53] <iRRVi> kay i figured out what was wrong with the gvc - but i cant figure out how to fix it: it says "Error...shared library thingy...libshpinxad.so.0"...but its right there at /usr/local/lib/libsphinxad.so.0 (the error says no such file or directory)

[16:58] <bod_> RobF_, no its not,.,. its something like sed
[16:58] <zoomboot8> ChaosR: backports is in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, you just need to edit it and uncomment the line

[17:02] <Yacci> hi
[17:02] <WilcoJR> thanks solar_george for wifi-radar - does this replaces NetworkManger?
[17:02] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, I greped for acpi in /boot/grub to no avail
[17:03] <fbc> i figured out why I could login to my ftp server. ROOT is not allowed to ftp for security reasons
[17:03] <tritium> WilcoJR: it's not as good, but it performs a similar function
[17:03] <Ronin-Sage> (using linux mint btw--sry for the "deception"): http://paste.stgraber.org/1488
[17:03] <WilcoJR> ok - thanks guys
[17:03] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, should I add acpi=off to menu.lst or something?
[17:03] <pisecx> Hi all. I have a problem with display power management. It takes about 10 minutes to turn off my monitor. My laptop is Dell Inspiron 1501. Ubuntu 7.10 (gnome), from live cd. I'm sure that it's not a screensaver, because I have changed default screensaver to another but still see just a blank screen. Have a look at screen saver settings: http://smages.com/a3/fa/a3fa71589fb471eac9a63b50a9a6dfae.png.htm. I have also turned on all in power saving section (both for
[17:03] <pisecx> battery mode and for AC mode): http://smages.com/a6/5a/a65ad1a9555d050c099a632f14ccdf77.png.htm, http://smages.com/32/ec/32ec5fa1521195a29b5e170faedabc27.png.htm. Sorry for russian in screen-shots. How can I solve this problem, maybe with console? It get me nurves, when I watch movies... Thanks.
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> carrera, Please check your logs, but adding noapci acpi=off would be my first suggestion if shooting into the dark
[17:03] <chelz> Ronin-Sage: heretic ;)
[17:03] <bod_> carrera, no, add it to the boot line in the grub menu,.,.
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:03] <bod_> oh
[17:03] <bod_> yes
[17:03] <WilcoJR> would you guys recommend installing OOO 2.31 of wait for the backports?
[17:03] <grr3> can I install 32bit apps on a 64bit linux?
[17:04] <chelz> grr3: yes
[17:04] <zoomboot8> ChaosR: everything seems to be running fine. It installed firefox3 along side of firefox 2, so i can choose.... I haven't noticed anything else unstable
[17:04] <chelz> 64bit support has it's fair share of issues tho
[17:04] <linnoob>  broadcom4328 rev03 on x64 ubuntu box is not working
[17:04] <grr3> is there any reason at all to install 32bit linux on a computer with an amd64 processor?
[17:04] <ChaosR> zoomboot8: I mean more like using upgrades from backports, is it like debian testing or something?
[17:04] <Jack_Sparrow> grr3, yes...
[17:05] <carrera> zoomboot8, firefox3? when did that come out?
[17:05] <RobF_> bod_, try #sed 's/yes/no/' < "I said yes"
[17:05] <WilcoJR> linnoob, all broadcom wireless crap does not work propely. mine BCM4311GM (dell d630) using the natvie bcm driver - did not work.
[17:05] <tritium> grr3: there is very little performance gain if you switch to 64bit, and there are the aforementioned issues.  It might be better to stick with 32bit.
[17:05] <zoomboot8> carrera: it's in beta, but it's in the gutsy-backports repo
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> grr3, There are fewer issues to deal with for a new user and the speed difference will be negligible
[17:05] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, I greped for acpi in /boot/grub to no avail
[17:05] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, should I add acpi=off to menu.lst or something?
[17:05] <WilcoJR> using the ndiswrapper and it works perfectly!
[17:05] <pike_> grr3: as a rule most people still choose 32 bit unless they need ALOT of memory for individual processes
[17:05] <ChaosR> zoomboot8: not what I mean :P
[17:05] <Yacci> i have a problem... After upgrading now the max. resolution available is 640x480, without special effects and without a windowmanager. Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 nv geforcego 7300. Can someone help me please?
[17:06] <carrera> thanks zoomboot8 and what's backports?
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> carrera, yes both of those commands I gave is where I would start.. I also remove splash and quiet on installs I do here
[17:06] <zoomboot8> ChaosR: there aren't actaully many packages in gutsy-backports, not like debian testing. The full list is here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/allpackages
[17:06] <bod_> RobF_, needs to be -- sed 's/yes/no/' <<< "I said yes" -- three <<< cheers m8,. i appreciate it
[17:06] <grr3> ok, thanks! I'll stick with 32bit.
[17:06] <WilcoJR> Yacci,  use the Restricted Driver Manager and installl the Nvidia driver
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> carrera, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:06] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, which 2 cmds?
[17:06] <solar_george> !backports <carrera>
[17:06] <ChaosR> zoomboot8: it says it has 45 updates available, my main question is, should I install them or not
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> carrera, Please check your logs, but adding noapci acpi=off would be my first suggestion if shooting into the dark
[17:07] <zoomboot8> carrera: gutsy-backports has a few newer programs to try out from the next version of ubuntu
[17:07] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, im gonna !repeat you soon ;~)
[17:07] <WilcoJR> too bad OOO 2.31 is not on the backports
[17:07] <zoomboot8> ChaosR: all I know is, I did, and nothing has gone wrong
[17:07] <Jack_Sparrow> bod`Tell me about it..
[17:07] <nottha_k> i want to make all the files and folders in a directory user and group readable and writable. but I also need them to be excutable by all if they are directories. chmod -R 775 doesn't cut it because it makes the files executable too. is a second pass with "find -type d" necessary? or can i do this with cmod somehow?
[17:07] <nottha_k> s,cmod,chmod
[17:07] <sfears> is there any way i can shove more resolution out of my svideo cable.. 1024x768 looks like crap on my tv
[17:07] <Yacci> i think i tried it but it did not work... Or where can i find that Restricted Driver Manager?
[17:08] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, have you got that phrase in your copy and paste hand? hehe
[17:08] <Ronin-Sage> (is there an irc command to stop the "left the room" and such notifications?)
[17:08] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, i like using Vi!  ;)

[17:08] <WilcoJR> there is a version for 8.04
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> carrera, I dont care what editor you use, I just hate repeating myself three of more times
[17:08] <KREAS> How is ATI going with using Beryl or Combiz???
[17:08] <pisecx> Hi all. I have a problem with display power management. It takes about 10 minutes to turn off my monitor, but I don't want it to be turned off! My laptop is Dell Inspiron 1501.

[17:09] <zoomboot8> carrera: vi? masochist!
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> KREAS, there is no more breyl
[17:09] <bod_> EdwardXp, you dont do anything ,.,.just download, let archive manager open dont save to disk,. then let archive manager install it
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> beryl
[17:09] <ghfreak51> where can i get ubuntu 8.04?
[17:09] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, did u repeat yourself? sorry dude, i must have missed
 you could try laptop mode settings

[17:09] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, incidently, I had to post twice before u saw my reply too! :D

[17:10] <pike_> EdwardXp: you should never need to launch a game as root to run it
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> carrera, Understood, but I am handling multiple problems for several people, you are handling one for yourself..:)
[17:10] <pike_> EdwardXp: unless you accidently ran it with sudo or something and a config file is owned by root
[17:10] <pisecx> solar_george: ok, I see, should try to google a little?
[17:10] <WilcoJR> tritium,  how come Nvidia 169.12 is not part of ubuntu restrticted drivers or not in the backports?
 its a config file in /etc/laptop_mode you also need to enable it in /etc/defaults
[17:11] <WilcoJR> i had to use Envy to grab 169.12
[17:11] <WilcoJR> they fix like gazillions of problems
[17:11] <Pici> !envy | WilcoJR
[17:11] <EdwardXp> pike_,  hmmm

[17:11] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, agreed, you're absolutely right!
[17:11] <Jack_Sparrow> WilcoJR, Envy is not advised or needed
 try help.ubuntu.com for a howto
[17:11] <EdwardXp> pike_,  i would like to be as safe as possible
[17:11] <pisecx> solar_george: ok, thanks
[17:11] <WilcoJR> Jack_Sparrow, so whats the alternative?
[17:11] <tritium> WilcoJR: after a stable release, only security and major bug fixes are released.  It'll be in hardy.
[17:12] <pike_> EdwardXp: first try sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~
[17:12] <Yacci> do i need to delete and reinstall ubuntu?
[17:12] <WilcoJR> tritium,  this i understand yet nvidia 169 works pretty good. so if you guys say to refrain from using envy - how do you do it without ?
[17:12] <tritium> Yacci: no, why?
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> WilcoJR, NOt sure how you changed that when you removed the drivers...  but you said you reinstalled them...  Did you post your xorg to the pastebin?
[17:13] <ForsakenSoul> hi .. my system crashed and i can't start it ... can someone tell me the command to copy and paste in shell
[17:13] <tritium> WilcoJR: easy.  I just use the packages in the repos.

[17:13] <DRebellion> ForsakenSoul, cp file1 file2
[17:13] <Yacci> zoomboot8: What will that do?
[17:13] <jourdan> oh, "cp current_file new_file
[17:13] <WilcoJR> well i had too. laptop dual screens - 100 was not good :(
[17:13] <ForsakenSoul> actually a whole directory
[17:14] <zoomboot8> Yacci: or maybe "metacity --replace"
[17:14] <jourdan> you'll want the -r flag
[17:14] <DRebellion> ForsakenSoul, cp -r directory/ destination/
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, metacity --replace  or compiz -replace
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, metacity --replace  or compiz --replace
[17:14] <Ronin-Sage> so is there any simple way to re-install the intel binary drivers for 950 gma chipset?
[17:14] <jourdan> Like DRebellion said
 it will start the window manager
[17:14] <zoomboot8> Yacci: it give you a window manager, which you lack
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, It will reinstall your window decorator
[17:14] <pike_> EdwardXp: that changes ownership to everything in your home dir to you so if you ls -l ~   <-- the ~ means /home/$USER  then you wont see root owning anything.  ive not used cedega myself so i cant be sure but everything it sets up should be in your home id think and no need for root
 which does the decortations and closing
[17:14] <Yacci> okay, i will try it. Thx
[17:14] <ForsakenSoul> to i have to be in the parent directory
[17:14] <ForsakenSoul> or could i cp something like
[17:15] <tritium> WilcoJR: I really don't even need restricted drivers at all.
[17:15] <ForsakenSoul> cp -r /home/user/ /media/sd5/backup
[17:15] <sfears> can i restart the xserver without logging off?
[17:15] <xb3rt> last night i forget my userpass and had to re-install to get the comp working, what can i do incase that happens again
[17:15] <DRebellion> ForsakenSoul, that will work
[17:15] <nerxgas> what irc client should i use with ubuntu?
 no
[17:15] <ForsakenSoul> ok thanks
[17:15] <sfears> alright
[17:15] <Pici> nerxgas: whatever one you want
[17:15] <stdin> cp -a is better, perseveres permissions
[17:15] <Ronin-Sage> nerxgas: i find pidgin to work nicely
[17:15] <nerxgas> i'm used to using mirc,
[17:15] <WilcoJR> ok here is something i did not find a soltuion for - how do you use your laptop screen and an external without cloning. i want to SWITCH between laptop and External which have different resolutions
[17:15] <WilcoJR> is there a simple way to do so?
[17:15] <WilcoJR> in windows you can use the Fn+F8
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> xb3rt, You cant recover your password, but you can go into recovery mode and erase the old one and create a new one..
[17:16] <Pici> nerxgas: xchat is similar to mirc's interface
[17:16] <EdwardXp> pike_,  whats' user/user twice?   $USER:$USER ~
[17:16] <tritium> WilcoJR: i use xrandr for that, as TwinView is deprecated
[17:16] <EdwardXp> $edward:edward    or $root:$edward ??? some sort of vice versa thing..
[17:16] <nerxgas> pici, thanks, i'll install xchat
[17:16] <xb3rt> Jack_Sparrow: how do i do that
[17:16] <tritium> WilcoJR: hopefully, the new xrandr gui in hardy will make that trivial
[17:16] <Ronin-Sage> Jack_Sparrow:any tips on my gdm crash?
[17:17] <WilcoJR> tritium,  i tried nvidia twinview - and using thier control panel app (nvidia-settings) i manage to switch between internal external
[17:17] <WilcoJR> i.e i disabled the laptop display. but its quite weird procedure
[17:17] <axillaa> hello, last time i installed ubuntu i was able to browse my western digital elements external usb hdd, now it doesnt show up. what should i do?
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Ronin-Sage, gdm crash..  HAve you installed a new gdm theme..  or you can flush all gnome settings back to factory fresh..
[17:17] <Ronin-Sage> i haven't installed a new theme--i'm using linux mint default one
[17:18] <Ronin-Sage> it's just that whenever i even think of doing 3D on the machine, it crashes to login
[17:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Ronin-Sage, We dont support mint in here..
[17:18] <jester7> hey, what does linux mint have that's different than standard ubuntu
[17:18] <jester7> they are both gnome, right?
[17:18] <Ronin-Sage> i realize, but the problem began i noobishly removed xserver-xorg-video-intel package
[17:18] <DaemonLee> Hey. Can someone help me real fast?
[17:18] <Ronin-Sage> which is from ubuntu repo
[17:19] <tritium> WilcoJR: xrandr is the preferred way now
[17:19] <Jack_Sparrow> jester7, We dont support all the variations.. mint, ultimate studio etc,...  just ours
[17:19] <solar_george> !ask | DaemonLee
[17:19] <ubot3> DaemonLee: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:19] <WilcoJR> xrandr hmm.. ok i'll read about it.
[17:19] <pike_> EdwardXp: if youi ls -l youll see like -------  1   username group    the group for you is same as your user so $USER works
[17:19] <jester7> Jack_Sparrow: i realize....i was just wondering what the difference was
[17:19] <stdin> EdwardXp: $USER is a shell variable that holds your user name
[17:19] <Ronin-Sage> mint is advertised as a from-windows distro, basically
[17:19] <Ronin-Sage> anyway
[17:20] <lesshaste> any know about this message from dmesg? NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
[17:20] <xb3rt> how do i get back the System>Advanced Dekstop Preferences
[17:20] <xb3rt> with the cube and everything
[17:20] <Ronin-Sage> Jack_Sparrow:so i'm assuming there's nothing to get from being here?
[17:20] <crdlb> !ccsm | xb3rt
[17:20] <Jack_Sparrow> jester7, It is frustrating for us to sepnd 20 minutes fighing a problem , getting odd results and then finding out they are not running our distro , but came here because they could not get support from Mint or whoever made it for them
[17:20] <ubot3> xb3rt: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[17:20] <loco> hola
[17:20] <crshman> Hey all, does anyone know what this error is in reference to? I don't even know what the nbdXX device is.....
[17:20] <crshman> http://pastebin.ca/939888
[17:20] <EdwardXp> :0
[17:21] <axillaa> is there anyone here who knows how to get an external hdd drive (ntfs/fat) to work in ubuntu? (doesnt show up at all but hdd shows activity that its plugged in)
[17:21] <EdwardXp> I just ran that command
[17:21] <ghfreak51> i'm trying to install ubuntu on this crappy hp, no more than 512MB RAM and 1GHz processor, and this message keeps popping up: Buffer I/O error on device Fd0, logical block 0 - is it not finding my hard drive?
[17:21] <EdwardXp> i think everything is owned by me now,
[17:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Ronin-Sage, There are enough differences that you should try Mint first or install Ubuntu
[17:21] <MilitantPotato> ghfreak51: it's not finding your floppy drive
[17:21] <Yacci> so
[17:21] <Yacci> now i am on ubuntu
[17:21] <MilitantPotato> ghfreak51: I had to disable my floppy in BIOS to get ubuntu to install, then enable it to get ubuntu to boot
[17:21] <Ronin-Sage> i see...then this was a waste of time---i DID mention that i was using mint before i pasted that info btw
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, did that command fix you up
[17:22] <ghfreak51> well that sucks
[17:22] <jester7> Jack_Sparrow: hah, i'm not saying "what's the difference, just help him" i was just inquiring to what the actual differences are...out of curiosity.  seems to me it's ubuntu with a green theme.
[17:22] <ghfreak51> thanks
[17:22] <jester7> Jack_Sparrow: i understand your point
[17:22] <Yacci> My chatZilla-Window goes about the whole screen...
[17:22] <MilitantPotato> ghfreak51: yea, it's pretty odd.
[17:22] <drhous1> Hi all
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> ghfreak51, Usually, it will hit that error twice then go through..
[17:23] <ghfreak51> it's hit like 20 times.. it just keeps listing the error with a larger number in front of it
[17:23] <drhous1> please tell me how to disable the firewall on feisty?
[17:23] <zoomboot8> Yacci: did you type the terminal command?
[17:23] <Yacci> Jack_Sparrow: How can i access the console now?
[17:23] <EdwardXp> pike_, im still having problems installing " you must have administrator privileges to install this product"       im trying to install The First Decade of Command and Conquer on transgamming software
[17:23] <MilitantPotato> Jack_Sparrow: my install did it for 30 mins before I gave up and disabled the floppy
[17:23] <Zambezi> Do you need sudo/root to install Wow with Wine? Helping a friend right now. Not sure.
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> ghfreak51, At start or install press F6 and remove quiet and splash from the command line and try again.  If that does not work do the same thing and after removing those add noapic acpi=off before the --
 alt + f2
[17:24] <zoomboot8> Yacci: press Alt-F2
[17:24] <Yacci> ok
 will open a run dialogue
[17:24] <DaemonLee> Can anyone help me, real fast with CPUFREQD?
[17:24] <Yacci> nothing happens
[17:24] <zoomboot8> Yacci: then type "metacity --replace"
[17:24] <zoomboot8> hmmm
 please explain
[17:24] <MilitantPotato> Zambezi: /join #winehq
[17:24] <DaemonLee> solar_george, may I private message you, instead?
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> zoomboot8,  thanks... for keeping an eye on that
[17:25] <drhous1> somebody please tell me how to disable the firewall on feisty?
[17:25] <EdwardXp> Can Someone help me out on this issue:::::::  im still having problems installing " you must have administrator privileges to install this product"       im trying to install The First Decade of Command and Conquer on transgamming software
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> drhous1, What is the problem.. we use iptables..
 if you ask the entire #ubuntu you're more likely to get help
[17:25] <axillaa> How do you get an external usb hdd to work in Ubuntu? Its an WD Elements and it shows activity that its plugged in. Just seems like drivers are missing =/ (it has worked in a different ubuntu installation)
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo
[17:25] <ubot3> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo | EdwardXp
[17:25] <ubot3> EdwardXp: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[17:25] <Yacci> Jack_Sparrow: when I press Strg + Alt + F1, how do i go back?
[17:26] <tritium> drhous1: there are no default firewall rules setup
[17:26] <drhous1> Jack_Sparrow: The firewall isnt disabled in torrents
[17:26] <DaemonLee> Kk. For some odd reason, my CPU is locked at 800mhz, but it's a 2.0ghz Processor. I'm trying to figure out how to customize CPUFREQD to get it back at 2.0ghz, but back to 800ghz when on battery power.
[17:26] <ghfreak51> thjanks
[17:26] <drhous1> Jack_Sparrow: so i dont get to utilise full bandwidth
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[17:26] <jester7> Yacci: ctrl+alt+f7
[17:26] <zoomboot8> Yacci: strg-alt-f7 ?
[17:27] <kes0> what do i have to write before firestarter so that it start when i start the pc ? gk somthing i think
[17:27] <axillaa> Are there any other Ubuntu help-irc-channels?
[17:27] <Yacci> ok
[17:27] <tritium> drhous1: your problem is not likely due to any firewalling.  Perhaps it's your ISP.
[17:27] <EdwardXp> hmmm
[17:27] <tritium> axillaa: several
 I would use laptop_mode but you need to know command line in order to use it
[17:27] <DaemonLee> I know a -little- command line.
[17:27] <axillaa> tritium: Mind sharing some?
[17:27] <drhous1> tritium: some of my friends told me that this problem does not occur with gutsy
[17:27] <lesshaste> any know about this message from dmesg? NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
[17:27] <drhous1> tritium: But i face it
[17:28] <tritium> axillaa: they're all topical.  Just do a channel listing, and you'll see them.
[17:28] <DaemonLee> So, solar_george, what can I do to get this to work?
 first install the cpufreq applet (it may just need to be added to your panel)
[17:28] <JustTesting> does anyone have any recommendations for Wireless-N cards for linux?
[17:28] <drhous1> tritium: in place of NAT - OK i see NAT - Firewalled on azureus
[17:28] <MilitantPotato> drhous1: you can install firestarter, it's a front end for the built in firewall
[17:28] <store> hey can someone help me out with an rsync command? this is the command i'm using and only the things in the main folder get synced and all the folders even folders within folders but no files in any sub directories get synced... rsync -e ssh -varuzP /home/store/Documents/ store@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/store/
[17:28] <axillaa> zzz
[17:28] <xb3rt> whats the apt-get for xfce
[17:28] <Yacci> Windowmanager-Error: unable to open X Display
 apt-get
[17:28] <MilitantPotato> drhous1: unless it's blocking the traffic, it's probably a router or your ISP slowing down torrents
[17:29] <DaemonLee> solar_george, Done. Now what?
[17:29] <axillaa> How do you get an external usb hdd to work in Ubuntu? Its an WD Elements and it shows activity that its plugged in. Just seems like drivers are missing =/ (it has worked in a different ubuntu installation)
[17:29] <macogw> axillaa: is it NTFS formatted?
[17:29] <Lunks> How do I compile a module separately?
[17:29] <sinbox> drhous1 have you forwarded the ports for azureus on your router?
[17:29] <axillaa> yes
[17:29] <macogw> axillaa: and did it work on a newer version of ubuntu?
 when you hover your mouse over it does it say scaling enabled
[17:29] <drhous1> sinbox: how do i do that?
[17:29] <Lunks> I have a kernel module on a separate folder and I'd like to compile it.
[17:29] <macogw> axillaa: like, are you trying on Feisty or earlier and not working?
[17:29] <DaemonLee> Over what?
[17:29] <DaemonLee> >.>
[17:30] <axillaa> no, it worked on this version, the exact same installation but yesterday =)
[17:30] <Lunks> not sure how do it. make isn't suffice. :P
[17:30] <axillaa> dont know what feisty is
 the applet
[17:30] <macogw> axillaa: oh umm freaky.  what version?
[17:30] <sinbox> drhous1, go to http://wwwportforward.com  find your router model and then on that page the instructions for azureus
[17:30] <DaemonLee> There is nothing new in my applications...or system area.
[17:30] <axillaa> newest? =/
[17:30] <drhous1> sinbox: thanks a lot
[17:30] <Yacci> Jack_Sparrow: When I input metacity --replace i get the error Windowmanager-Error: unable to open X Display
 right click on the panel and add a new applet
[17:30] <macogw> axillaa: ok so Gutsy... umm weird.... if you type "mount" in the command line, it doesnt show up, right?
[17:31] <MilitantPotato> drhous1: www.portforward.com
[17:31] <Yacci> what can i do now?
[17:31] <drhous1> MilitantPotato: Thanks
[17:31] <MilitantPotato> drhous1: np
[17:31] <cannonball> store: You use -varuzP.  -a implies -rlptgoD, so you can shorten your line to -vauzP.  Now your issue is that it isn't doing subfolders?  Give a path example.
[17:31] <DaemonLee> solar_george, Okay. I see it. It says 2ghz now.
[17:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry I had to jump to WIndows for a sec
[17:31] <sinbox> sorry about the typo drhous1 :)
[17:31] <MilitantPotato> ah sin beat me :)
[17:32] <drhous1> sinbox: no problem
[17:32] <Yacci> aha
 how did you know that it was limited before
[17:32] <DaemonLee> sysinfo
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, hit ctrl+alt+f1 through f6 to get to terminals ctrl+alt+f7 will bring you back to gui
[17:32] <cannonball> store: I know that rsync will not sync .* files in the current/base directory, but that doesn't seem to be what you're complaining about.
[17:32] <sfears> why does s-video from a dvd player into tv look fine but svideo from computer to tv looks like crap??
[17:32] <Yacci> I found it out now
[17:32] <n__> Hello, i want to install g++ 4.1 using apt-get. it is asking me for ubuntu cd, why so? is there any alternative way to install it?
[17:33] <macogw> axillaa: do you know your user id and group id numbers?  if not, look in system -> admin -> users & groups and see what they are.
[17:33] <EdwardXp> :"(
[17:33] <Yacci> but when i enter metacity --replace i get an error Windowmanager-Error: unable to open X Display
 does that also say 2ghz now
[17:33] <EdwardXp> its' not workingl..
[17:33] <DaemonLee> Yeah.
[17:33] <DRebellion> n__, because you have the cd repo enabled. go to system -> administration -> software sources and disable it.
[17:33] <store> cannonball, all of my files under the top Documents folder get synced and all sub directories and all other directories no matter how deep they go but no files under the top folder get synced only the ones in the Documents folder...
[17:34] <Lunks> How do I compile a module separately?
[17:34] <Lunks> I have a kernel module on a separate folder and I'd like to compile it.
[17:34] <Lunks> not sure how do it. make isn't suffice. :P
[17:34]  * sinbox just realised he has no idea what his root login and password are
[17:34] <Sadistt0> what module ?
[17:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, You may have hosed up more than the decorator, you can reset all gnome settings...  and I mean all...
[17:34] <sinbox> o.O
[17:34] <DaemonLee> solar_george, is there anyway that I can alter how it does certain things or not?
 hover your mouse over the applet what govenor does it say you are using
[17:34] <Sadistt0> use module-asisstant
[17:34] <MilitantPotato> Jack_Sparrow: any chance his xorg.conf is messed?
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, You can /join #Compiz
[17:35] <Yacci> Jack_Sparrow: good. And how to do that?
[17:35] <mojo> n__, DRebellion beat me to it... edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.  I just had that problem on a headless server... tried to add squid through the webin interface and got 1000 lines if html asking me to insert a CD, lol...
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> MilitantPotato, It would not hurt to look..
[17:35] <DaemonLee> solar_george, all it says is;
[17:35] <DaemonLee> CPU 0 - Ondemand
[17:35] <DaemonLee> 2ghz (100%)
[17:35] <n__> thank you
[17:35] <cannonball> store: What are you calling the "top folder"?  If I understand you correctly, Documents *IS* the top folder according to the way you've constructed your command.
[17:35] <Sadistt0> Lunks: module-asisstant
[17:36] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
 ok thats the ondemand governor - it will reduce the speed of your cpu when you don't need it - thats why it said that the cpu was only 800mhz before
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, As a last resort  here is the reset info.. will get you xorg info next
[17:36] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: in ctrl+alt+f1
[17:36] <cannonball> store: You also are syncing /home/store/Documents/.  So if you had (for example) a file named store.txt, it would rsync /home/store/Documents/store.txt to store@remotemachine:/home/store/store.txt .
[17:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[17:36] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: try VESA/MESA video drivers at first
[17:36] <axillaa> How do I mount?
[17:36] <axillaa> macogw: im there, id = loginname?
[17:36] <DaemonLee> solar_george, So, can I command it to do it in certain ways or not?
[17:37] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: do what Jack_Sparrow said first :)
[17:37] <macogw> axillaa: no the number...go to properties on your username
[17:37] <Yacci> ok
 I'm not sure what the recomended way is
[17:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, Please return to us the link that program returns to you
[17:37] <Zergiu> Hello
[17:37] <macogw> axillaa: and then you need the UID number...it might be in "advanced" (not sure how it looks exactly i'm on hardy)
 try looking of help.ubuntu.com
[17:37] <axillaa> macogw: 1000?
[17:37] <store> cannonball, it will do that but if I have a folder /home/store/Documents/pictures/aa.jpg the pictures folder would go to /home/store/pictures but the picture will not
[17:37] <macogw> axillaa: ok
[17:37] <cannonball> store: if you want it to be put in store@remotemachine:/home/store/Documents/store.txt, you'll want to change your rsync command by one character.  Remove the trailing slash from the /home/store/Documents/ path.  with the trailing slash, it says to put the contents of that directory on the remote machine.  Without the trailing slash, it says to copy the directory name too.
[17:38] <Zergiu> In t.10 is there any   select all command(ctrl+e) ?
[17:38] <macogw> axillaa: and then if you hit manage groups and click your user and look at the GID?
[17:38] <mojo> axillaa... isn't that "armpit"?  I seem to remember that from a song by the band Phish
[17:39] <cannonball> store: The -a should take care of that, I agree, because it implies recursive.  I have no reason why it wouldn't be copying the files correctly unless the destination machine is full or at quota (but you'd see permission denied errors if that was the case).
[17:39] <macogw> axillaa: to mount it, you type "ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=1000 gid=*whatever it says*
[17:39] <store> cannonball, do you think it is not taking my options past the -e ssh?
[17:40] <macogw> axillaa: then your user owns the drive so you have read/write access
[17:40] <cannonball> store: I would have to say yes.  Put them before the -e and see if it performs differently.
[17:40] <cannonball> store: It shouldn't make any difference though.
[17:40] <store> should I instead make it rsync -vae ssh /home/store/Documents/ store@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/store/?
[17:41] <cannonball> store: separate the -e from the rest
[17:41] <cannonball> store: Are you sure you even need to specify -e ssh?  Modern versions of rsync do it by default.
[17:42] <axillaa> "ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=1000 gid=1000" ?
[17:42] <store> oh really? didn't know i'll try without
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> MilitantPotato, I need to take a call.. can you keep an eye out for Yacci  for me.?
[17:42] <Lunks> Sadistt0, that would not be it as I patched the module.
[17:42] <store> cannonball, looks like that did it
[17:43] <axillaa> ntfs-3g: You must specify exactly one device and exactly one mount point.
[17:43] <axillaa> =(
[17:43] <Yacci> http://pastebin.com/f693ef718
[17:43] <Lunks> Sadistt0, I do not want to run ndiswrapper. :>
[17:44] <xb3rt> I do a sudo apt-get avant-window-navigator awn-manager          and it says it cant find avant-window-navigator
[17:44] <macogw> axillaa: that is one device and one mount point...hmm "sudo mkdir /media/disk" maybe?
[17:44] <johann> hola
[17:44] <nerxgas> when will kde4 be out?
[17:44] <mojo> nerxgas, 4.0.what?  I thougt kde 4 was out in Jan
[17:44] <macogw> axillaa: hmm um is /dev/sdb1 your external drive?
[17:45] <MilitantPotato> Jack_Sparrow: yea
[17:45] <nerxgas> oh, its here? cool!
[17:45] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: two shakes
[17:45] <axillaa> macogw: Im sorry, I dont know =/
[17:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, What release distro are you using?
[17:46] <Skaag> any of you remember that deb-takeover script that turned every machine to a debian box? is there something like that for Ubuntu? :-)
[17:46] <Yacci> hmm.. I installed 8.04 yesterday
[17:46] <macogw> axillaa: if you do "ls /dev | grep sd" does it say sdb1 anywhere?
[17:46] <Pici> !hardy | Yacci
[17:46] <ubot3> Yacci: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[17:46] <axillaa> macogw: no
[17:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Yacci, Yea...  that is one ugly xorg.. YOu need to see if someone in #Ubuntu+1 can sort that out
[17:46] <Yacci> aha^^
[17:46] <Yacci> ok
[17:47] <Parsec300> yacc, I did that too yesterday. On my neighbours laptop. Just have a hard time with the Broadcom Wifi. I get it to run, but not on my own network with static IP.
[17:47] <Yacci> thx
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:47] <macogw> axillaa: is it plugged in?
[17:47] <mojo> nerxgas, http://www.osnews.com/story/19451  and of course http://www.kde.org/
[17:47] <MilitantPotato> Jack_Sparrow: ugly is an understatement :)
[17:47] <Lunks> How do I compile a module for my kernel?
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> MilitantPotato, :)
[17:47] <Lunks> I don't want to go compiling my kernel all over again
[17:47] <Jack_Sparrow> I need to return a call.. bbl
[17:47] <axillaa> macogw: ptysd, sda, sda1, sda2, sda5, ttysd
[17:47] <axillaa> macogw: yes, its plugged in and its blinking as if it has contact with the computer
[17:47] <genii> Lunks: What module?
[17:47] <MilitantPotato> Yacci:  give this command a shot, can't do any more harm
[17:48] <Lunks> genii, I patched bcm43xx
[17:48] <Lunks> genii, it's on ~/bcm43xx
[17:48] <mojo> MilitantPotato utters famous last words...
[17:48] <MilitantPotato> Yacci:do sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[17:48] <sergo> anyone know, how to hide mounted partition from desktop?
[17:48] <MilitantPotato> then :  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[17:48] <mojo> sergevn, remove (or move the mount) from /media/
[17:48] <genii> Lunks: So you downloaded the source code for the bcm43xx driver, applied a patch so far?
[17:48] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: you'll have a backup under xorg.conf.bak incase you need it.
[17:49] <macogw> axillaa: if you type "mount" does it say the sda1, sda2, or sda5 is in use as / ?
[17:49] <Lunks> genii, yeah, just need to compile it
[17:49] <Yacci> ok
[17:49] <Lunks> genii, thing is, I don't know how to. make doesn't work.
[17:49] <genii> Lunks: Make sure you have build-essential installed
[17:49] <genii> Lunks: You may also need kernel headers installed
[17:49] <Lunks> genii, it's actually from a linux-source package, but I moved to  ~ so it could be easier editing
[17:49] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: you'll probably need to go about fixing your resolution afterward, but hopefully you'll be able to get into your desktop
[17:49] <fak3r> Lunks: have you tried ./configure ?
[17:49] <Lunks> genii, I have them all.
[17:50] <MilitantPotato> you'll need to go to #ubuntu+1 for help with that
[17:50] <Lunks> fak3r, there's no script
[17:50] <Lunks> I know all this genii, and I have done it so far by recompiling the whole kernel
[17:50] <axillaa> macogw: http://pastebin.com/m502ebcac
[17:50] <Lunks> But I'd like to just compile a single module, not the whole stuff
[17:50] <Yacci> I hope that too
[17:50] <genii> Lunks: moving it from inside another build tree makes it problemmatic
[17:51] <Lunks> genii, what should I do, then?
[17:51] <Lunks> genii, get it back to kernel tree, then?
[17:51] <genii> Lunks: Put it back in the source tree in /usr/src or where your tree is, then make only that module, or even all modules
[17:51] <macogw> axillaa: ok....freaky.  the only drive your computer sees is the one it's running from. as far as its concerned, nothing is plugged in
[17:51] <axillaa> macogw: Did that help? =/
[17:51] <genii> (from the top dir)
[17:52] <axillaa> =(
[17:52] <Lunks> genii, how to compile only bcm43xx module?
[17:52] <macogw> axillaa: try a different usb drive?
[17:52] <macogw> axillaa: i mean usb port
[17:53] <axillaa> macogw: Ok, I can try again.
[17:53] <Yacci> MilitantPotato: I executed "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak" but nothing changed
[17:53] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[17:53] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: that made a backup of your current xorg.conf
[17:53] <Yacci> ok
[17:53] <macogw> Yacci: that just made a backup copy. it doesnt tell you any info
[17:53] <Yacci> achso
[17:53] <sinbox> axillaa, you could look into the "NTFS Configuration Tool" does all the mounting in a GUI but I haven't tried with an external NTFS though
[17:54] <macogw> sinbox: its not showing in /dev
[17:54] <Lunks> genii, is there someway? that's what is missing.
[17:54] <macogw> sinbox: bigger problems than ntfs are at work
[17:54] <xb3rt> What do i use to install a new bootsplash theme?
[17:54] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: then either restart, or run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (I think this restarts Xserver)
[17:54] <yacc> Yacci: Or press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
[17:55] <yacc> Yacci: That kills the X-Server too.
[17:55] <genii> Lunks: I'm not sure you can specify one module to compile only. Usually it's more like: sudo make modules
[17:55] <macogw> yacc: that just restarts it
[17:55] <MilitantPotato> Yacc does that work from the login screen? I havn't tried.
[17:55] <Lunks> genii, it's really a pain in the ass. :>
[17:55] <yacc> macogw: No, it kills it and gdm starts a fresh one.
[17:56] <axillaa> macogw: It worked in my side usbports now =)
[17:56] <macogw> yacc: which is the same as restarting...if you need to have it actually killed, you have to stop gdm totally
[17:56] <yacc> MilitantPotato: yes.
[17:56] <macogw> axillaa: get that usb port looked at
[17:56] <genii> Lunks: Yes, it is
[17:56] <bastid_raZor> time to install my 2nd monitor.. 22" of Acer fun
[17:56] <macogw> axillaa: the one it didnt work in.  it seems broken
[17:56] <bastid_raZor> bye
[17:56] <yacc> macogw: yeah, or make something steal port 6000, but you are right.
[17:57] <axillaa> My guess is that Ubuntu haven't got drivers for it, both back-usbs worked in winxp =/
[17:57] <axillaa> It works, I'm happy =)
[17:57] <macogw> axillaa: ok thats really weird
[17:57] <Lunks> genii, guess I'll advert here looking for my answer. :)
[17:57] <sinbox> macogw, I guess if the drive does not show then yes, dodgy usb then axillaa  nice, I had terrible problem installing a printer like that and then I changed the USB socket and it worked
[17:58] <Lunks> How do I compile a single module from kernel?
[18:00] <Yacci> okay...
[18:00] <Yacci> My resolution is back to normal
[18:01] <Yacci> but my titlebars borders aso are still away...
[18:01] <x0rg62> hi
[18:01] <lawl__> hey does anyone know the acidity level of sperm?
[18:01] <Khajavi> help: any one know how to package my php software? deb?
[18:03] <Khajavi> help: any one know how to package my php software?
[18:03] <DRebellion> Khajavi, you should ask in #ubuntu-motu
[18:03] <ghfreak51> ok so i'm trying to install ubuntu and it loads it then it just brings up this command line running BusyBox.. how do i get to ubuntu?!
[18:03] <stefano_> #ubuntu-it
[18:03] <Khajavi> thanks. bye bye
[18:03] <noodlesgc> would it be possible for me to actively send captured packets from eth1 to lo?
[18:04] <McGod> O_O
[18:04]  * McGod hates wireless networking
[18:04] <DaemonLee> Okay, anyone know what a good wired and wireless manager to install is? I don't like wicd.
[18:04] <amenado> noodlesgc-> and what would that acomplish?
[18:04] <noodlesgc> ?
[18:05] <amenado> noodlesgc-> and what would that acomplish? to send to l0
[18:05] <DRebellion> noodlesgc, of course
[18:05] <Haden> why doesn't the vim packaged with xubuntu include syntax highlighting? O_o
[18:05] <noodlesgc> it would be like tcpdump but sending the packets over the lo
[18:05] <acee1234>  i keep getting issues from alot of my programs saying something is already listening on the port they need tor....azureus, ktorrent etc whats going on here. any ideas? if you have none where might i ask
[18:05] <DRebellion> Haden, its vim-minimal iirc. install the package ivm
[18:05] <DRebellion> Haden, its vim-minimal iirc. install the package vim*
[18:05] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: ya able to login now?
[18:06] <amenado> noodlesgc-> i dont follow you, sending it to lo will do what?
[18:06] <Haden> DRebellion: Thanks.
[18:06] <DRebellion> acee1234, use netstat to find out
[18:06] <mneptok> !info vim-full
[18:06] <ccortess> paki
[18:06] <ubot3> vim-full: Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - full fledged version. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:7.1-056+2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1040 kB, installed size 2160 kB
[18:06] <noodlesgc> exacltly what you think it will, they will be transmitted over my loopback interface
[18:06] <fak3r> acee1234: run a netstat: `netstat -plunt` to see what's listening where - kill things that are in your way (on the computer that is)
[18:07] <MilitantPotato> That's not quite as fun fak3r
[18:07] <Yacci> when i type in metacity i still get the same errormsg
[18:07] <sfears> i've removed the panel with my applications menu on it.. how do i readd?
[18:07] <MilitantPotato> Yacci: you'll need to ask in either #compiz-fusion or #ubuntu+1 since you're on hardy
[18:07] <ghfreak51> how do i install ubuntu from BusyBox
[18:08] <amenado> noodlesgc-> once you get it to lo?
[18:08] <DaemonLee> Okay, anyone know what a good wired and wireless manager to install is? I don't like wicd. Any recommendations?
[18:08] <Yacci> ya
[18:08] <Matic`Makovec> Is it possible to change resolution of more pictures at once?
[18:08] <noodlesgc> nothing
[18:08] <McGod> I'm having WPA confusion
[18:08] <noodlesgc> its possible to do it with tcpdump then tcpreplay, but not realtime
[18:08] <Haden> DRebellion: Question... removing vim-minimal also makes Synaptic want to get rid of ubuntu-minimal.  That safe?
[18:09] <DRebellion> Haden, no
[18:09] <ks> looking for driver http://pastebin.ca/939957
[18:09] <DRebellion> Haden, hang on, lemme take a look
[18:09] <Haden> k
[18:10] <DRebellion> Haden, just install vim-full, don't bother removing anything
[18:10] <Haden> alright
[18:10] <Haden> thx
[18:10] <n__> how can i set the gamma in my screen?

[18:16] <Triforce> Hey
[18:16] <Triforce> Anybody with experience using fuppes?

[18:17] <ubot3> Triforce: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[18:17] <bod_> what happened to ubotu??? whats ubot3 a cheap replacement? ;~)P
[18:17] <Triforce> ...
[18:18] <bod_> Triforce, what is your question about fuppes
[18:18] <fak3r> acee1234: then that doesn't make sense, if the ports is open, you shouldn't have a conflict.  what port are you (or yr app) trying to listen on?
[18:18] <canary> Templario, acho que cruzei um tornado... tenho dois Xchat.

[18:20] <ks> i've found some LSI_MPT drivers on the vendor disk, does it correspond to mptsas in Ubuntu driver list ?
[18:20] <iter> ok... I disabled the primary screen on my hardy laptop... I can see the gdm login fine but actual login turns off the monitor-- where is the appropriate conf file to re-enable my lcd
[18:20] <bod_> Pici, i dont suppose you know which config file sets the GTK theme do you?
[18:20] <acee1234>  fak3r: "there appears to be another program process already listing on socket(<IP_ADDRESS>:6880).......  <---azureus  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 <----tor
[18:20] <fak3r> so are you already running tor or azureus?
[18:21] <acee1234> fak3r:?
[18:21] <Triforce> thanks guys
[18:21] <acee1234> fak3r: yes
[18:21] <lesshaste> anyone know about this message from dmesg? NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08. it seems to be related to my wireless usb dongle (rt73 driver)
[18:21] <fak3r> acee1234: sry - so are you running tor?  or azureus?
[18:21] <Vlet> How can I see what process started another? Like, if I see a process running under root, how can I see how it was launched?
[18:21] <acee1234> fak3r: both
[18:21] <Pici> bod_: not off the top of my head, sorry
[18:22] <fak3r> acee1234: so those are running fine, and then something else complains when you start it?
[18:22] <acee1234> fak3r: no they are both dead
[18:22] <DRebellion> Vlet, use the command pstree
[18:22] <bod_> Pici, do you know how i could find out? preferably in an un painfull system scowering way?
[18:22] <acee1234> fak3r: and azureus takes like 5 min to start
[18:22] <Vlet> thanks DRebellion
[18:23] <fak3r> acee1234: try to start azureus via commandline with --help and find out what switches you need to tell it to listen on a different port (or disable it from running tor)
[18:23] <absynth> hm :/
[18:23] <DaemonLee> Can someone help me find the open source drivers for a Broadcom BCM94311MCG?
[18:23] <pike_> acee1234: alternatively, there is deluge or transmission or ktorrent ;)
[18:23] <DaemonLee> I'm trying to use ndiswrapper to instal.
[18:23] <DaemonLee> *install.
[18:24] <DRebellion> DaemonLee, ndiswrapper is for windows drivers (eg proprietary, non open-source)
[18:25] <Pici> bod_: looks like it may be in gconf in desktop/gnome/interface/      I'm just grepping files though, I dont have easy access to gconf-editor to check

[18:25] <jetscreamer> greetings earthlings
[18:25] <DaemonLee> DRebellion, thanks for that. Basically, I'm just trying to get back B/G/N capabilities, which the restricted only supports B.
[18:25] <acee1234> pike_: but there is multiple failure that tells me there is a system problem not a program problem
[18:26] <bod_> Pici, cheers dude,. i g2g be afk for a sec

[18:27] <pike_> acee1234: try sudo update-alternatives java or somesuch i think
[18:27] <DaemonLee> DRebellion, thanks for that. Basically, I'm just trying to get back B/G/N capabilities, which the restricted only supports B.  Got any ideas?
[18:27] <DRebellion> DaemonLee, nope
[18:28] <fak3r> acee1234: I see, try -help or -h instead...
[18:28] <absynth> #gentoo

[18:34] <[tla]> hi.  i can't install gutsy desktop onto a fujitsu s6010.  The lcd display just shows all the colours of the rainbow or bleaches out.  I have tried different resolutions and the "vga" safe mode but all have the same issue.  The install splah screen displays fine.  As far as I know the gfx chipset is Intel 830MG.  Are there some magic parameters I need to pass to have it correctly identify the...
[18:34] <[tla]> ...gfx chip?
[18:34] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: nope
[18:35] <bod_> sureshot,   sudo mk dir /var/www/newfolder/newfolder2/newfolder3     (you get the idea) sudo mk dir  meaning sudo make directory
[18:35] <bod_> Pici, ??
[18:36] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: then ls .Skype
[18:36] <acee1234> why cannot linux be stable

[18:40] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: oh
[18:40] <Moduliz0r> Hi, how long should the installer (x86_64) take to partition an entire 500GB drive (SATA)?
[18:40] <bod_> gnychis, then search google for firefox, then download the linux deb
[18:40] <bloody`> modulizer: not long at all
[18:40] <rio> i dont know if there is a script for loading the key from external media in ubuntus initrd
[18:41] <Moduliz0r> really? it's been stuck at 5% for ages
[18:41] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: seems
[18:41] <bod_> acee1234, ah, im no good with networks and ports and all that,.,.sorry,.,. u could try in #kubuntu and ask about ktorrent
[18:41] <Moduliz0r> creating an ext3 partition for /
[18:41] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: seems like a permissions problem
[18:41] <bloody`> modulizer: id say its broken
[18:41] <Le-Chuck_ITA> check the ownership of .Skype
[18:41] <Moduliz0r> :(
[18:41] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: what does that mean?
[18:41] <sureshot> bod: i get and error  sudo: mk:command not found
[18:42] <Moduliz0r> is this #ubuntu-unregged?
[18:42] <rsk> Moduliz0r: no
[18:42] <Moduliz0r> thats good then ^^
[18:42] <rsk> o/
[18:42] <acee1234> bod_: no one is answering me so far been asking for 3 days
[18:42] <Sinnerman> why do my init scripts all invoke nvidia-kernel? i've got an ATI graphics card.
[18:42] <bod_> sureshot, sorry, its    mkdir             no space
[18:42] <bod_> acee1234, sorry,.,. not sure
[18:42] <BeCkY> Sinnerman: hii
[18:43] <Moduliz0r> Sinnerman: have you had anb nvidia before?
[18:43] <DRebellion> acee1234, try portscanning yourself
[18:43] <Moduliz0r> an*
[18:43] <acee1234> bod_: seems more time effective to just reinstall the os takes about 45 min
[18:43] <acee1234> DRebellion: with what
[18:43] <Sinnerman> Moduliz0r no, it's a laptop, has always had ATI.
[18:43] <bloody`> sinnerman: could be nvidia ethernet or chipset
[18:43] <DRebellion> acee1234, sudo nmap -A localhost
[18:43] <sureshot> bod: ahh oki will try again
[18:43] <bod_> acee1234, but a fix is more usefull,. i know the irritating feeling
[18:43] <DRebellion> !info nmap | acee1234
[18:43] <Moduliz0r> Sinnerman:is it working ok?
[18:43] <ubot3> acee1234: nmap: The Network Mapper. In component main, is extra. Version 4.20-2 (gutsy), package size 759 kB, installed size 2696 kB
[18:43] <Sinnerman> bloody` not likely. Moduliz0r yeah, everything's working fine.
[18:44] <bloody`> sinnerman: run lspci and see if anything is using nv or nvidia driver
[18:44] <Moduliz0r> Sinnerman: I have no idea why :P but if it's working alright, it can't be that bad
[18:44] <bod_> lol,.,.. too true
[18:44] <sureshot> bod: good worked fine now
[18:44] <iter> anyone know where the "monitor resolution settings" applet keeps its conf ?
[18:44] <bod_> sureshot, good stuff
[18:44] <M0nk3Eee> hi all, can someone give me some advice.  I currently have ubuntu gutsy installed on an hard disk and i want to move the install to a raid+1 configuration, i have installed the new disks and used the text installer to install the new system onto the raid partitions.  All seems to work find however now i need to restore my old system (on the old harddisk) to the new raid+1 config.  i guess restoring the /home will be fine.  Is there anything i shhould look ou
[18:44] <Sinnerman> Moduliz0r bloody` i was just wondering why it was there. and if i could zap it.
[18:44] <bloody`> iter: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:44] <iter> bloody`: not in hardy
[18:45] <bloody`> does for me
[18:45] <Sinnerman> bloody` lspci didn't turn anything nv-related.
[18:45] <Moduliz0r> Sinnerman: Hopefully someone knows :) [i don't hehe]
[18:45] <bod_> iter, hardy probs in #ubuntu+1 please
[18:45] <bloody`> sinner: idk then. leave it be?
[18:45] <acee1234> DRebellion: another problem i get the following on anything i try to install like nmap subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[18:45] <bloody`> !upgrade
[18:45] <ubot3> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[18:45] <Sinnerman> bloody` in fact a lot of the devices seem to be using ATI chipsets of one denomination or other.
[18:45] <bod_> acee1234, it sounds like you have a very screwed up system
[18:46] <azexian> can someone help me with a usb issue? I'm getting device offlined, althought device is fine, seems to work during boot, but then fail (with that error) before getting to the gui
[18:46] <axillaa> Im trying to get Tor but lines like "deb     http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <DISTRIBUTION> main" doesn't make much sense, anyone know a good readme for getting and installing new programs in Ubuntu?
[18:46] <Moduliz0r> anyone know why the Installer might be stuck at 5% creating an ext3 partition for /? (it's a 500GB SATA drive)
[18:46] <bod_> axillaa, is the app in synaptic?
[18:46] <bod_> Moduliz0r, random crash?
[18:46] <acee1234> DRebellion: Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0
[18:46] <axillaa> bod_: No idea
[18:46] <Moduliz0r> bod_: it's not crashed
[18:46] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: what now?!
[18:47] <bod_> axillaa, always check synaptic first
[18:47] <bod_> Moduliz0r, not crashed but stuck,.,. ok,. well its stuck then
[18:47] <Moduliz0r> bod_: it's just at 5%, it's not lagging up everything
[18:47] <Moduliz0r> hmm
[18:47] <bod_> kill it, try again
[18:47] <Moduliz0r> spose ill leave it on for a bit longer to see
[18:47] <Le-Chuck_ITA> becky
[18:47] <sfears> i've accidentally removed the top panel on my second display.  I've tried running gnome-panel but it doesn't bring it back.  In gconf-editor apps/panel/toplevels there seems to be a missing top_panel_screen1.  How do i add that back in there
[18:48] <bod_> yer, im impatient thiough ;~)
[18:48] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: ls -lad .Skype
[18:48] <axillaa> bod_: Synaptic? ;)
[18:48] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: (or open a file manager, show hidden files, right click and see "permissions" :) )
[18:48] <bod_> sfears, right click on the bottom panel, then choose new panel
[18:48] <bod_> !synaptic | axillaa
[18:48] <ubot3> axillaa: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[18:48] <sfears> i did that bod_ but it doesn't bring back the applications & places etc
[18:49] <axillaa> Thank you.
[18:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: in the end, if you can afford loosing your current config (i.e., if you remember your username and password), just remove or rename the .Skype dir and launch skype again
[18:49] <bod_> sfears, then right click on the empty new panel, then add to panel,. then choose the things that were there originally
[18:49] <Le-Chuck_ITA> then it will be recreated properly
[18:49] <azexian> can someone help me with this: scsi: dvice offlined - not ready after error recovery, this comes up if I boot with my memory stick inserted, if I don't do this, then it doesn't get as far, I think it might actually be working, and then failing during boot.
[18:50] <oxigen> hey something is downloading on my system, i have no idea what, how do i check what's downloading/uploading? what tools do i need to check this?
[18:50] <[tla]> is it possible to do an install with a text interface rather than a gui using the live cd?
[18:50] <sfears> i'm not sure of the location of applications & places etc
[18:50] <bod_> [tla], you need the text installer cd
[18:50] <ltcabral> im getting the error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device, when trying to open a video with MPlayer, can anyone help me fix that?
[18:50] <M0nk3Eee> Any ideas guy, google is not being much help
[18:51] <azexian> ltcabral: rigth click on mplayer, and click video, and change the device, play around, one of them will work =)
[18:51] <azexian> ltcabral: *right
[18:51] <ltcabral> thx
[18:51] <[tla]> bod_: as i cant find out what magic i need to pass to the os boot to make it see the Intel 830 MG gfx chip I guess I don't have much choice! :(
[18:52] <sfears> is there a way i can text edit the gconf-editor?
[18:52] <azexian> Moduliz0r: when you say crash, do you mean it freezes, or just doesn't seem to do anything? why not try running it from shell, you might see the error then
[18:52] <sfears> or is the gconf-editor a compilation of all the .conf files?
[18:52] <Moduliz0r> Doesn't seem to do anything
[18:52] <Moduliz0r> its at 5%
[18:52] <zedster> bazhang: you on??
[18:52] <speedhunt3r> hey can someone help me fix the reso on my monitor? I took my pc to my friend's place and the monitor is giving some problems
[18:52] <^u^> oxigen, in a terminal   netstat -tup
[18:52] <bod_> [tla], what goes wrong with the install graphic way?
[18:52] <zedster> speedhunt3r: please give more information
[18:53] <oxigen> ^u^ thanks!
[18:53] <azexian> Moduliz0r: well it is quite a big drive, if it's already partitioned, then it's ok to cancel, just don't want to cancel it in the middle of a partition, but that step is earlier I think...
[18:53] <^u^> k
[18:53] <bod_> !elaborate | speedhunt3r
[18:53] <ubot3> speedhunt3r: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[18:53] <sureshot> bod: what command is or copy files instead of move it? and can i copy the hole catalogue with files inside?
[18:53] <azexian> can someone help me with this: scsi: dvice offlined - not ready after error recovery, this comes up if I boot with my memory stick inserted, if I don't do this, then it doesn't get as far, I think it might actually be working, and then failing during boot.
[18:53] <[tla]> bod_: screen whites out or goes multicolour garbage when gnome starts
[18:53] <Moduliz0r> It's 500GB, how long do you reckon it should take ?
[18:53] <acee1234>  bod_: i keep getting issues from alot of my programs saying something is already listening on the port they need tor....azureus, ktorrent etc whats going on here. any ideas? did net stat didnt find any issues there another symptom is azureus take about 5 min to start. or vote for reformat?
[18:53] <speedhunt3r> zedster, I was using SyncMaster Regular CRT now i'm plugged into a SyncMaster 932B
[18:54] <bod_> sureshot, sudo cp    is copy     sudo cp -r    is copy recursively  meaning it will copy the entire directory and all child directories
[18:54] <forsakensoul> is there a way to copy from shell only the visible folders without the hidden ones ?
[18:54] <sureshot> bod:thx a lot
[18:54] <Sinnerman> what script calls networkmanager and/or sets up the network at boot time?
[18:54] <forsakensoul> only the visible files from one folder to another
[18:54] <bod_> acee1234, vote format 1
[18:54] <Yacci> how do i change the keybordlayout in the loginscreen?
[18:54] <zedster> speedhunt3r: I don't know monitor settings by model, but try to change them using screen resolution tool
[18:54] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: ..
[18:54] <bod_> [tla], are you using a graphics card?
[18:54] <azexian> Moduliz0r: GNU/Linux tends to be very fast at formating drives, you might want to use gparted manualy, (e.g system --> admin --> gparted) to partition, and then run it, if that doesn't work you could go even further with either a gparted live cd, which tends to work, or try fdisk, and mkfs.ext3 (or whatever you are formating it as)
[18:54] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: and..
[18:55] <offload> I just installed an ati rage 128 pro ultra tf into a machine already installed with 7.10 but can't get the native ati driver to work.  Could you help me with this please?
[18:55] <zedster> or did you change the settings in X.conf?
[18:55] <bod_> !who | zedster
[18:55] <ubot3> zedster: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[18:55] <forsakensoul> how can i copy only the visible files in a directory without copying the hidden files in shell
[18:55] <forsakensoul> or do I have to copy them one by one
[18:55] <forsakensoul> ?
[18:55] <Moduliz0r> ill give it one more "normal" try and see what happens, I'll consider my options if that phails
[18:55] <[tla]> bod_: its an on-board chip in a laptop; Intel 830MG
[18:55] <acee1234> bod_: reformatting gave os image to the dog to play with
[18:55] <azexian> Moduliz0r: ok
[18:55] <bod_> [tla], ah, looks like text based for you im afraid
[18:56] <[tla]> bod_: ;)
[18:56] <invalidsyntax> when i change my screen resolution it doesnt take in to affect?

[18:57] <forsakensoul> how can i copy only the visible files in a directory without copying the hidden files in shell
[18:57] <forsakensoul> ?
[18:57] <offload> I just installed an ati rage 128 pro ultra tf into a machine already installed with 7.10 but can't get the native ati driver to work.  Does anyone know where I can start trouble shooting this??
[18:57] <sfears> how do i find the location of the configuration file being edited in the gconf-editor?
[18:57] <cl3tUs> Hello Everyone.  I'm trying to find the "config.gz" file.  Where is that located?
[18:57] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: like uninstall it?
[18:57] <offload> I've tried looking up a few how tos but they didn't seem to work.
[18:57] <Le-Chuck_ITA> no
[18:57] <Moduliz0r> its all fail, gparted is just sat there eating a cake and telling me that it's scanning all devices...
[18:57] <bod_> forsakensoul, check the man page for cp   there may be an exclude parameter,. then exclude anything starting with .
[18:57] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: open a file manager, show hidden files
[18:58] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: in your home directory (not Desktop, home!)
[18:58] <craig1709> How can I resolve resolve hostnames for my other Ubuntu systems, from my Ubuntu system?
[18:58] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: you'll see a .Skype directory, which is a normal directory like all any other :)
[18:58] <BeCkY> uhhhhhhhhhh
[18:58] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: take that directory and MOVE it on your desktop so that it's no longer in the way
[18:58] <cl3tUs> Where can I find the config.gz file?
[18:59] <BeCkY> Le-Chuck_ITA: to be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about!
[18:59] <bod_> BeCkY, run this command      sudo mv /home/BeCkY/.skype /home/becky/Desktop
[18:59] <cl3tUs> I'm following an article that tells me to copy that from my computer to my server, then back down to my computer...but I can't even find it.
[18:59] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: do you know what a "folder" or "directory" is at all?
[18:59] <cl3tUs> It says that it's in /proc/config.gz, but it's not there.
[18:59] <BeCkY> nope xD
[18:59] <bod_> Le-Chuck_ITA, keep it friendly
[18:59] <bod_> ;~)
[18:59] <azexian> can someone help me with this: scsi: dvice offlined - not ready after error recovery, this comes up if I boot with my memory stick inserted, if I don't do this, then it doesn't get as far, I think it might actually be working, and then failing during boot.

[19:00] <invalidsyntax> how
[19:00] <Le-Chuck_ITA> BeCkY: if you don't know what a folder or directory is, and you have your interface in english, then skype is a second step. Learn the basics first. However, these are the basics in ubuntu, mac and windows - the concept is the same
[19:00] <bod_> BeCkY, what is your username on your computer?
[19:00] <invalidsyntax> log out?
[19:00] <Le-Chuck_ITA> bod_: you did that already :)

[19:03] <bod_> gi2k15, be carefull,.,. never run this command      rm -rf /*
[19:03] <bod_> lol

[19:03] <gi2k15> auehuahea

[19:04] <BeCkY> bod_: it says "mv: cannot stat `/home/rebecca/.Skype': No such file or directory"
[19:04] <gi2k15> I'll keep that in mind, thx
[19:04] <[tla]> bod_: I found a web page that suggests the i810 driver should work.  Do I just give F6 on the install page "vga=i810" to use it?
[19:04] <bod_> cl3tUs, removes your root folder and everything downwards    eg    EVERYTHING
[19:04] <stdin> bod_: do not even jokingly post that here
[19:04] <cl3tUs> ooooo
[19:04] <cl3tUs> bod_, I'd hate to learn that the hard way.
[19:04] <bod_> stdin, read better,. i didnt suggest it
[19:04] <sfears> rm (remove) -rf (no mater what) / (root folder) * (every file)
[19:04] <bod_> [tla], no idea,. sorry
[19:04] <stdin> bod_: prefixing with "don't run this" is still posting it
[19:05] <bod_> BeCkY, open a file browser then press     ctrl+h                 find a folder that looks like  .skype
[19:05] <bod_> stdin, telling people not to run it is better then them accidently running it,.,. i think telling them about a leathel command is a good thing,. do you disagree?
[19:05] <pike_> BeCkY: bear in mind everything is case sensitive
[19:06] <acee1234> ubuntu or kubuntu?
[19:06] <BeCkY> pike_: I have no idea what you guys are talking about.. I have no idea about comps
[19:06] <bod_> !who | acee1234
[19:06] <ubot3> acee1234: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[19:06] <cl3tUs> Can any of you help me find the "config.gz" file?
[19:06] <Le-Chuck_ITA> guys, I have this problem with tracker: I search files, it finds it but it does not show the list, only the number of matches
[19:06] <stdin> bod_: yes, posing it in a channel where people are used to run commands they see is bad. many people in here will run a command just to see what it does
[19:06] <Le-Chuck_ITA> this is in tracker GUIs
[19:06] <jchamm> !tab
[19:06] <ubot3> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[19:06] <invalidsyntax> ty bod it worked
[19:07] <acee1234> which is more stable ubuntu or kubuntu
[19:07] <bod_> BeCkY, just listen carefully to me,.,.   open the thing you use to find foolders, then press    ctrl+h    look for a file called   .skype      tell me the exact name of the file
[19:07] <Le-Chuck_ITA> if I run a tracker-search in the terminal I can actually see the files
[19:07] <manatatas> hi, Ican someone tell
[19:07] <Le-Chuck_ITA> this drives me nuts :)
[19:07] <sfears> is there a way to search a specific file format for an instance of a phrase inside it? example  (ls *.conf | grep top_panel_screen > home/sfears/Desktop/outputtextfile)
[19:07] <pike_> BeCkY: bod_ try this then ls | grep -i skype| xargs -i mv {} {}-bak     ;-)
[19:07] <Zergiu> Le-Chuck_ITA: are you from spain?
[19:08] <bod_> stdin, but i told them what it does,.,. what if someone told them to run it tomorrow, if they didnt listen to me, they would be without a root folder
[19:08] <manatatas> Hi, can anybody tell me how to search for files in ubuntu 7.10?
[19:08] <bod_> pike_, did you not read her saying she knows nothing of comps ;~),. i think that will confuse,.,. wortha try though
[19:08] <bod_> manatatas, locate filename
[19:08] <stdin> bod_: it doesn't matter, never post it here or in any other #*buntu* channel
[19:08] <cl3tUs> Manatatas, what are you searching for?  I am a noob, but I know you can navigate to a folder and do a "ls" or a "locate <filename>"
[19:09] <carrera> why doesn't the orange bar show on my screen as ubuntu 7.10 is loading??
[19:09] <manatatas> I'm also noob, lol.. how do you search for files, like in windews?
[19:09] <gi2k15> Strange, I reinstalled Wine, but now the Wine menu in Applications is not showing. Any ideas?
[19:09] <bod_> stdin, i disagree someone asked me how to do something, the answer closely resembled a millacious command,.,. i warned them of the malicious command,.,. i will post that command when i see nescasery
[19:10] <carrera> Jack_Sparrow, why doesn't the orange bar show on my screen as ubuntu 7.10 is loading??
[19:10] <Vlet> So, I have an intruder. There's a process running called 'crond' and I can't seem to find the binary for it using locate, find, or whereis... any suggestions?
[19:10] <manatatas> bod_ locate uses comand line right?
[19:10] <stdin> bod_: this is not my opinion, this is channel policy
[19:10] <bod_> manatatas, yes
[19:10] <manatatas> is there any gui way?
[19:10] <heymr> how would I scan a network to see what samba shares I can mount?
[19:10] <bod_> stdin, ok, well il bare that in mind thanks
[19:11] <heymr> any ideas?
[19:11] <zedster> carrera: make sure you have the splash screen installed
[19:12] <sfears> is there a way to search a specific file format for an instance of a phrase inside it? example  (ls(not sure what goes there instead of ls) *.conf | grep top_panel_screen > /home/sfears/Desktop/outputtextfile)
[19:12] <bod_> carrera, you may need to add fbcon to a module file,.,. lemme find the link
[19:12] <manatatas> bod_ is there any gui way to search for files, like in windows?
[19:13] <sfears> manatatas, under your places menu at the top of the screen
[19:13] <bod_> carrera, you want the second post -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454392&page=3
[19:13] <bod_> manatatas, not sure

[19:14] <ArrPirate> is there a way to add stickynote-style annotations to PDFs inside ubuntu? I've found a program, xournal, that allows me to write on top of a pdf like I was writing on paper with a pen or sending it through a type writer, but I can't find anything to let me do stickynote style annotations like I can in Windows or you can in Mac OS X
[19:15] <chris____> hi, can someone help me with my BIND setup running 7.10 server?
[19:15] <manatatas> sfears, thx.. is there a way i could manualy run this program using command line?
[19:15] <RoAkSoAx> chris____: try #ubuntu-server
[19:15] <chris____> okay, thanks
[19:16] <sfears> ls | grep (file name)
[19:16] <bod_> manatatas, the command that launches that app is             gnome-search-tool
[19:16] <sfears> nope.. that's only for folders
[19:17] <bod_> sfears, locate filename
[19:17] <sfears> find | grep (filename)

[19:18] <mad_max02> Is there anyone here that uses something similar to Autocad ???  I need a program with which I can do all my work as in autocad.
[19:18] <Vlet> ask google :)
[19:18] <xb3rt> or jeeves
[19:18] <manatatas> thanks bod_ & sfear
[19:18] <bod_> jeeves turned bad about a year ago
[19:18] <xb3rt> i know :-)
[19:18] <bod_> np ;~)
[19:19] <oxigen> mad_max02: try blender
[19:19] <bod_> i hate the new ask page
[19:19] <sfears> varicad.. i'm not sure if it's open source
[19:19] <bod_> blender ftw!!
[19:19] <xb3rt> jeeves turned bad once google came out
[19:19] <mad_max02> oxigen did u use blender ?
[19:19] <sfears> it's not
[19:19] <ltcabral> my compiz-fusion seems to be installed... how can i add the manager to my preferences list??
[19:19] <oxigen> mad_max02: yes
[19:19] <sfears> qcad
[19:19] <SRabbelier> Heya, I'm running the offical Ubuntu VMWare but after doing an update I'm now getting this error msg: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2026344f
[19:20] <mad_max02> oxigen, and did it really replace autocad ?
[19:20] <tomvolek_> Hi all,  I have a small network of Linux boxes, whats a good backup package wich can do incremental backups ?
[19:20] <sfears> looks like it doesn't have 3d support mad_max02
[19:20] <oxigen> mad_max02: in my case yes
[19:20] <r00t__> tomvolek_, I like Keep
[19:20] <odder> xb3rt: have you tried wgetting the key from http://winehq.org/site/download-deb ?
[19:20] <mad_max02> I just came up on program named CYCAS
[19:20] <oxigen> mad_max02: it depends what you need
[19:21] <mad_max02> well I use it for architecture
[19:21] <tomvolek_> root what is that ?
[19:21] <sureshot> bod: i copied dir with files to /var/www but it says i dont have any permissions to view the content, can i change the permission and permanent?
[19:21] <bod_> !root | tomvolek_
[19:21] <tomvolek_> where can i readup on it...  can I schedule backups with it
[19:21] <ubot3> tomvolek_: 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
[19:21] <ltcabral> should i download the ati drivers by the restricted drivers or manualy?
[19:21] <sfears> is there a way to search a specific file format for an instance of a phrase inside it? example  (ls(not sure what goes there instead of ls) *.conf | grep top_panel_screen > /home/sfears/Desktop/outputtextfile)
[19:22] <oxigen> mad_max02: well, it's a 'must try' application if you are architect
[19:22] <Itaku> someone hacked my comp i want to find out who did and and i want them in jail
[19:22] <Itaku> how do i find out who did it?
[19:22] <nobody_> hi
[19:22] <DRebellion> Itaku, first explain what happened.
[19:22] <bod_> sureshot, yer    sudo chmod 777     but that is completely insecure, ask the channel what permissions you should use, tell them what you will be using he files for,.,. probably you want 755
[19:22] <cl3tUs> Itaku...is this a business or personal?
[19:22] <mad_max02> oxigen, blender is 3d content creation app
[19:22] <Itaku> personal
[19:22] <mad_max02> oxigen, can it replace autocad ?
[19:23] <nobody_> peoplez du u no how to format ext. hdd on ubuntu?
[19:23] <tomvolek_> r00t_   what is the package u were talking about ?
[19:23] <Starnestommy> Itaku: how did they hack it?
[19:23] <ltcabral> how can i transform my icon bar like this screenshot??? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=71995&file1=71995-1.jpeg&file2=71995-2.jpeg&file3=&name=Mac4Lin+ver.0.4+Emerald+Theme
[19:23] <Itaku> they used sshd and hacked my comp and deleted all files in / except dev lib proc sys tmp usr and var
[19:23] <nobody_> how to format drive in ubuntu ?plzZ
[19:23] <Itaku> and im pissed off to hell about this
[19:23] <oxigen> mad_max02: well, try it man.
[19:23] <renfrew> this is prolly waaaay off topic but does anyone know of a deluge setup tutorial similar to the azureus wiki?
[19:23] <odder> ltcabral: without looking on the URL I can say you'd just need to install Mac4Lin
[19:23] <Itaku> all my photos are gone
[19:24] <ltcabral> haha thx
[19:24] <tomvolek_>  Hi all,  I have a small network of Linux boxes, whats a good backup package wich can do incremental backups ?
[19:24] <Itaku> i want them in fedral prison
[19:24] <DRebellion> nobody_, mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdXX
[19:24] <Vlet> Itaku: probably ain't gonna happen
[19:24] <nobody_> itaku, hmm u still have memories :) so move on hmm is like water
[19:24] <DRebellion> renfrew, just ask a question here or in #deluge
[19:24] <Itaku> but my comp was hacked
[19:24] <Itaku> against the law
[19:24] <renfrew> nobody_ you need to have partition editor installed... sudo apt-get install gparted... then use it on the unmounted volume to repartition and formet it
[19:24] <Itaku> i want them in jail
[19:24] <Vlet> Well, life's hard
[19:24] <Itaku> when i try to start my comp i get Error 15
[19:24] <sureshot> bod : why does it work when i m dir and copy files but i dont get permission to look in dir when i copy a complete dir
[19:24] <odder> ltcabral: there is a whole bunch of ways to change your GNOME appearance into something more macish
[19:25] <Starnestommy> Itaku: did they log in as root or another user?
[19:25] <CarlFK> anyone have a URL for setting up routing (not nat, just routing)
[19:25] <Pici> Itaku: we cant help you with legal issues.
[19:25] <Itaku> i think root cuz they deleted everything
[19:25] <genii> Itaku: Examine the auth.log or archived ones in /var/log for ssh logins from foreign addresses, then look up the ip/block abd report to abuse@whoeverowns it along with the log adjusted for GMT
[19:25] <cl3tUs> Itaku, people's computers are hacked every single day.  Each person wants justice.
[19:25] <nobody_> renfrew, thanksS
[19:25] <DRebellion> Itaku, then you have no way of finding out (unless your router keeps logs)
[19:25] <CarlFK> it should be 'easy' but .. it;s all setup, and it aint routing.
[19:25] <renfrew> didn't know there was a deluge lol... been off IRC for ages.. thx DRebellion
[19:25] <hzu_> on ubuntu, if I start up a game (say urt or scummvm) and put it in fullscreen it doesn't actually become fullscreen, it just slaps on a black border. what is causing this and how do I fix it ?
[19:25] <cl3tUs> Best advice is to always save an external backup.
[19:25] <Itaku> uh
[19:25] <tomvolek_>  Hi all,  I have a small network of Linux boxes, whats a good backup package wich can do incremental backups ?
[19:25] <ltcabral> odder: well its not exactly "machish" what i want... ive seen this icon bar style in some other screenshots
[19:25] <Itaku> they deleted /var/log
[19:26] <fzywzy> Hi all
[19:26] <Odd-rationale> Itaku: How were they able to do that? And how can I prevent that happening to my computer? (shudders)
[19:26] <Itaku> i dont know
[19:26] <Itaku> its just gone
[19:26] <Pici> Itaku: Had you enabled the root user? were you using simple passwords? if you had ssh enabled and all of that theres really nothing thats Ubuntu's fault there.
[19:26] <hzu_> on ubuntu, if I start up a game (say urt or scummvm) and put it in fullscreen it doesn't actually become fullscreen, it just slaps on a black border. what is causing this and how do I fix it ?
[19:26] <genii> Itaku: Then your recorse there is contact your ISP and ask for records of the times in question
[19:26] <Soal_Reap> im new to ubuntu and just installed server from CD - but cant seem to SU keeps saying login incorrect.
[19:26] <genii> *recourse
[19:26] <Vlet> Use better passwords, and don't use untrusted software
[19:26] <MtJB> ubuntu is not secure?
[19:26] <Taggard> Can anyone recommend a way to remove all X window apps on a machine, or most? This is for gnome
[19:26] <DRebellion> MtJB, ubuntu is perfectly secure. he used bad passwords and enabled root (bad idea)
[19:27] <genii> MtJB: Any system is as secure as it's passwords
[19:27] <Itaku> i use trusted software like mirc pidgin and shit but he hacked through sshd
[19:27] <cl3tUs> MtJB, from wat I've seen, Ubuntu is secure, it's waht the user allows and doesn't allow.
[19:27] <DRebellion> Itaku, how do you know it was sshd?
[19:27] <Itaku> sorry for my language but im just pissed
[19:27] <Pici> !language | Itaku
[19:27] <ubot3> Itaku: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[19:27] <DASPRiD> DRebellion, really bad idea o.0
[19:27] <Itaku> cuz there was no other way
[19:27] <nobody_> ^Itaku: ur system will be always hacked hmmm till one day u realise that there is far more advanced system around u hmm and there is nothing to lose :)
[19:27] <Odd-rationale> So Itaku's case can only happen if the hacker/cracker has the root passwd?
[19:27] <DRebellion> !root  | Soal_Reap
[19:27] <ubot3> Soal_Reap: 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
[19:27] <genii> Itaku: Next time remap ssh to some other port than 22
[19:27] <MtJB> at toorcon, they told me not having a root account was more secure
[19:27] <Itaku> he'll nmap me
[19:27] <oxigen> Itaku: can you post your broken password here? :P
[19:28] <Vlet> Itaku: You probably didn't have a very good password. If it were done by someone who really knew what they were doing, they wouldn't have wiped your system; they would have used it.
[19:28] <Starnestommy> Odd-rationale: the root password or the password of a user with sudo access
[19:28] <nobody_> OSlife
[19:28] <Pici> Itaku: Had you enabled your root account?
[19:28] <Itaku> yes
[19:28] <cl3tUs> Itaku, how do you know it's a he?  Is this someone you know that did this to you to get you mad?
[19:28] <Itaku> he used to be my friend
[19:28] <Odd-rationale> Starnestommy: ok, I think i'm safe then... :-D
[19:28] <Itaku> now hes hacking me to hell
[19:28] <Pici> Itaku: We explain in many places that we don't support that.
[19:28] <renfrew> thanks for the help.. RL calls ;)
[19:28] <sureshot> do i have to change permission when i copy dir with files inside to /var/www ?
[19:28] <Pici> !noroot | Itaku
[19:28] <ubot3> Itaku: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-)
[19:29] <cl3tUs> So it sounds like an old friend stabbed you in the back with info that you may have shared with him and now you want top level punishment.
[19:29] <DASPRiD> o0.0
[19:29] <fzywzy> I have a problem and wonder if anyone can help...I am trying to run ubuntu on my mac using parallels desktop.  When it tries to install, the screen rez flickers back and forth between settings and then tells me, after a few times, that it can't resolve the problem.....any suggestions?
[19:29] <cl3tUs> That isn't supported here...that I know of...
[19:29] <Pici> !offtopic
[19:29] <ubot3> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:29] <SRabbelier> hey, I think my main problem is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d22d3c3cc (that is, ttf-opensymbol  cant' finish configurating), what could be the solve?
[19:29] <cl3tUs> That sounds like a civil court thing.
[19:29] <Pici> cl3tUs: correct
[19:29] <Odd-rationale> So can anyone ssh into my computer?
[19:29] <Itaku> hell i want him executed but i know that isnt going to happen
[19:29] <zedster> Itaku: run firestarter
[19:29] <Itaku> Odd-rationale: as long as you didnt install sshd no
[19:29] <DRebellion> Odd-rationale, only if you enable sshd
[19:29] <nobody_> whatabout REVOLUTION lol
[19:29] <sureshot> Pici: do i have to change permission when i cp - r  a directory?
[19:30] <nobody_> root: freedom lol
[19:30] <Odd-rationale> DRebellion: How would I know?
[19:30] <Starnestommy> Odd-rationale: they would need the password of a user with ssh access
[19:30] <jsz> sureshot: use cp -ar
[19:30] <ltcabral> is it safe to install my at graphic card driver by the restricted drivers manager?
[19:30] <nobody_> what is the key
[19:30] <Itaku> god damnit this sucks
[19:30] <genii> sureshot: To preserve permissions while copying use -p
[19:30] <DRebellion> Odd-rationale, if you haven't installed it, don't worry
[19:30] <Odd-rationale> Starnestommy: Ah, so password is the key. ok. I use diceware :)
[19:30] <nobody_> is running lol
[19:30] <zedster> ltcabral: yes that just means its not open source
[19:30] <genii> sureshot: Or -a for archive as jsz suggests
[19:30] <DASPRiD> Odd-rationale, simply only allow ssh-acces via public-key-auth and forbidd password auth
[19:31] <nobody_> thanx for help , hmm yo , and c u all in lol
[19:31] <Soal_Reap> ive looked at the page and tried sudo still asks for password and then gives a sendmail 'failed to open /etc/postfix/main.cf'
[19:31] <jsz> genii: right. it saves permission too.
[19:31] <Odd-rationale> DASPRiD: ok Thanks guys.
[19:31] <sureshot> jsz and genii :oki will try ty
[19:31] <fzywzy> anyone?
[19:32] <jsz> sureshot: use -p key =)
[19:32] <cl3tUs> I need some help from anyone willing to help me with an odd issue.
[19:32] <Seveas> !anyone | cl3tUs
[19:32] <ubot3> cl3tUs: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[19:32] <jsz> ryg9I: hi! where R U from? ;)
[19:32] <Seveas> !u | jsz
[19:32] <ubot3> jsz: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..

[19:35] <fzywzy> hmmm....am i not asking my question in the right way, or...
[19:36] <^u^> fzywzy, it's about the mac in a linux channel...
[19:36] <balle> can anyone tell me what my problem is with the GAIM IM? im running on 6.06
[19:36] <fzywzy> well, i understand, but im trying to run ubuntu on it
[19:36] <fzywzy> i thought that was relevant
[19:37] <CaBa> balle: the ubuntu gaim packages suck ever since... compile the newest version from www.pidgin.im
[19:37] <^u^> fzywzy, is the hardware even supported?
[19:37] <Seveas> balle, or upgrade to a recent ubuntu version, which has pidgin already :)
[19:37] <fzywzy> unsure...don't know how to tell  (new to linux)
[19:37] <sjbrown> what key is "lower enter"?
[19:37] <sjbrown> is that the keypad Enter key?
[19:37] <^u^> fzywzy, did the live cd run ok?
[19:38] <CaBa> Seveas: as i said... the gaim/pidgin packages in ubuntu are barely usable
[19:38] <Seveas> CaBa, bollocks.
[19:38] <balle> caba thx ;)
[19:38] <Seveas> in ubuntu 6.06 perhaps, but that's old stuff :)
[19:38] <Seveas> the ubuntu 7.10 packages are perfectly fine
[19:38] <lordleemo> CaBa: whats wrong with pidgin ?
[19:38] <fzywzy> acually, i didn't try that....the install cd gives me the option to boot from disk, should i try that first?  will it make a difference?
[19:39] <CaBa> lordleemo: nothing is wrong with pidgin. but with the ubuntu packages ;)
[19:39] <balle> what core should i choose in pidgin, i'm running ubuntu 6.06
[19:39] <Soal_Reap> hrm.. everytime i try the sudo cmd i keep getting 'sendmail: faital: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: no such file or dir'  tried to reconfigure postfix but get same error everytime
[19:39] <lordleemo> CaBa: must be your problem mate mine here is perfectly fine
[19:39] <^u^> !hardware | fzywzy
[19:39] <ubot3> fzywzy: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[19:40] <CaBa> Seveas: if you are using the feisty / gutsy pidgin you dont know what you are missing ;)
[19:40] <Seveas> Soal_Reap, if main.cf is missing and postfix is installed: apt-get install --reinstall --force-confmiss postfix
[19:40] <fzywzy> thanks ubot, i'll try that
[19:40] <cicco> hi everyone
[19:40] <cicco> i have a problem with dsp
[19:40] <Soal_Reap> ok ill try that
[19:40] <Seveas> CaBa, running gutsy and hardy, I don't see a difference between them
[19:40] <lordleemo> CaBa: gutsy pidgin is tops pal
[19:40] <reikalusikka> I removed kde and some libraries accidently, how do I get those libraries back?
[19:40] <balle> hmm, any reccomendations an an all purpous IM client for ubuntu?
[19:41] <Seveas> balle, pidgin
[19:41] <zedster> reikalusikka:  sudo apt-get kde* ?
[19:41] <mneptok> balle: Pidgin?
[19:41] <Seveas> balle, or kopete if you use kde
[19:41] <zedster> reikalusikka: sorry, sudo apt-get install kde*
[19:41] <CaBa> balle: pidgin is perfectly fine... if you are confused, pidgin is the new name of gaim
[19:41] <balle> yea i know, pidgin but what dl should i do?
[19:41] <Emilian> is it a ecurity risk if as a user I can see /etc/passwd on a server?
[19:41] <Emilian> * security
[19:41] <reikalusikka> zedster: But I don't want to install kde
[19:41] <balle> @caba yea, but what DL should i take
[19:41] <cicco> yesterday i was playing at enemy territory and everything worked..sound too..then while using tuxguitar i started to have problems with audio, installed alsa-oss and rebooted...now after a few reboots enemy territory keeps telling me that can't map /dev/dsp...what can i do
[19:41] <Seveas> Emilian, no, it's even a requirement that that file is world readable
[19:41] <CaBa> balle: if you dont know what kind of computer you have you should probably not use it ;)
[19:42] <genii> balle: pidgin is in repositories, no downloading needed
[19:42] <zedster> reikalusikka: what are you trying to do, I misunderstood then
[19:42] <CaBa> genii: not in the dapper reps ^^
[19:42] <balle> @caba i do but no ubuntu DL is listet
[19:42] <kingrayray> balle, sudo apt-get install pidgin
[19:42] <Seveas> balle, then go for debian
[19:42] <genii> CaBa: Ah, this is true
[19:42] <kingrayray> :P
[19:42] <Soal_Reap> says --force-confmiss is not understood
[19:42] <balle> THX!
[19:42] <Polygon89> Hello, what program would i use to check the SMART status of my hard drive? i think its dying but i want to make sure.
[19:43] <CaBa> balle: as i said... 'compile' the newest version - to do so you will probably need the source ;)
[19:43] <reikalusikka> zedster: Some applications don't work now after I removed kde, they worked fine before installing kde
[19:43] <CaBa> Seveas: afaik there is no deb package on the pidgin site
[19:43] <reikalusikka> some web applications
[19:43] <cicco> Polygon89: smartools
[19:43] <zedster> reikalusikka: ok sudo apt-get build-dep name of package
[19:44] <genii> balle: A deb of pidgin for 6.06 seems to be found here http://drsjlazar.blogspot.com/2007/05/pidgin-for-dapper.html
[19:44] <zedster> reikalusikka: you most have dumped some libs you needed
[19:44] <s0u][ight> /bin/sh: cannot create .tmp_versions/bcm43xx.mod: Directory nonexistent
[19:44] <s0u][ight> hello how can i fix that?
[19:44] <Polygon89> Hello, what program would i use to check the SMART status of my hard drive? i think its dying but i want to make sure.
[19:44] <reikalusikka> zedster: Yeah, but I don't know what I need
[19:44] <Seveas> s0u][ight, by not using weird shellscripts
[19:44] <saharsh> show me d setting of gtalk in pidgin
[19:44] <reikalusikka> that's the problem
[19:44] <yennes> need help installing boost for python
[19:45] <zedster> reikalusikka: it should tell you
[19:45] <reikalusikka> zedster: oh ok
[19:45] <yennes> is anyone familiar with boost for python?
[19:45] <s0u][ight> Seveas, i'm compiling my kernel :|
[19:45] <zedster> if you know the name of the programs not working ie build-dep firefox
[19:45] <s0u][ight> it is a make file
[19:45] <Linux_Freshe1> when i hit DELETE, the folder gets totally erased .. how to stop this behaviour and make the folder to go to trash ?
[19:45] <bieb> Going to be building an SMTp server running Postfix, Ubuntu Server or Xubuntu?
[19:46] <rsk> bieb: if you want server only then ubuntu server
[19:46] <CaBa> genii: well each time some of the providers change the protocoll you need a fix... i dont think some ancient deb from 2005 will make him so lucky ;)
[19:46] <Odd-rationale> This might be offtopic, but if someone with your root/admin passwd can ssh into your system and have absolute control, is it any easier for them if you are using windows? or about the same. Just curious...
[19:47] <reikalusikka> zedster: ok I have a problem,0 upgraded, 75 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[19:47] <lordleemo> for pidgin 2.4 latest deb package http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin
[19:47] <epic4life> its the same
[19:47] <bieb> rsk does ubuntu server have X? or is that the difference between the 2?
[19:47] <reikalusikka> E: Package libsnmp10-dev has no installation candidate
[19:47] <reikalusikka> E: Failed to process build dependencies
[19:47] <balle> thx for help, on another note, would it be wise fo rme to update to 7.10 NOW or should i wait a bit?
[19:47] <Starnestommy> Odd-rationale: harder, unless the windows machine is running vnc, ssh, ot something sililar
[19:47] <balle> other words: is it very tedious?
[19:47] <rsk> balle: upgrading to 7.10 now should go fine
[19:47] <Starnestommy> *or
[19:47] <balle> thx
[19:47] <jsz>  /msg nickserv link maxs IRCttNd7C21
[19:47] <zedster> reikalusikka: ok, seems high, but you may have removed some key libraries while removing kde
[19:47] <rsk> balle: nah. just gillow the commands
[19:48] <rsk> jsz: ouf, change that quickly
[19:48] <Odd-rationale> Starnestommy: hmmm. ok. that is interesting...
[19:48] <Linux_Freshe1> Q: how to make a folder go to TRASH after hitting DELETE key ? right now i deleted 2 folders using delete key .. they are not there in trash can ..  Q2: also, is there undelete util in ubuntu ? ]
[19:48] <Starnestommy> jsz: you may want to change your password.  Also, remove the space before the /
[19:48] <Soal_Reap> tried the apt-get install --reinstall --force-confmiss postfix - says --force-confmiss not understood, tried -force-confmiss postfix says -force must have an =<vaL>.
[19:48] <nerxgas> how do i mount my firewire external drive, its NTFS
[19:48] <Starnestommy> Odd-rationale: viruses can also hijack windows accounts
[19:48] <reikalusikka> zedster: Might have, what should I do?
[19:48] <zedster> reikalusikka: hit yes and install the 75 files
[19:48] <CaBa|> rsk: you really recommend him upgrading to gutsy 4 weeks before the next stable release?
[19:49] <reikalusikka> zedster: I can't that's the problem
[19:49] <bieb> rsk: does ubuntu server have X? or is that the difference between the 2?
[19:49] <Linux_Freshe1> Jack_Sparrow:  u there captain ?
[19:49] <zedster> reikalusikka: explain, what happens?
[19:49] <jsz> I'll be damned! :(
[19:49] <reikalusikka> zedster: that what I pasted
[19:49] <rsk> CaBa|: upgrading usually dosen't break. unless he has modem i wouldnt disagree with upgrading
[19:49] <nerxgas> my external firewire NTFS volume shows that it is there, when i choose mount, i get a message that says "Cannot mount volume"
[19:49] <Odd-rationale> Starnestommy: ok. That is good to know. It doesn't make me like linux less, it simply reminds me that no one is immortal... :)
[19:49] <reikalusikka> I wrote what you said and "php5"
[19:49] <rsk> bieb: ubuntu server has LAMP and x
[19:49] <reikalusikka> then it said I need 75 packages and gives an error
[19:49] <bieb> ok
[19:50] <bieb> rsk: is there an advantage to having X available on the server?
[19:50] <rsk> bieb: if you prefer GUI configuration over console configuration then yes
[19:51] <Linux_Freshe1> Q: how to make a folder go to TRASH after hitting DELETE key ? right now i deleted 2 folders using delete key .. they are not there in trash can ..  Q2: also, is there undelete util in ubuntu ?
[19:52] <Odd-rationale> Linux_Freshe1: Are those files hidden files? e.g. .file
[19:52] <nesta> #ubuntu-fr
[19:52] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  nope .. not hidden .. basically movies i have seen .. i accidentally deleted one that i had not seen ..
[19:53] <odder> Linux_Freshe1: well, afaik there's no possibility to restore such files on the ext3 filesystem, so you've got the answer on your 2nd question
[19:53] <Linux_Freshe1> odder:  is there a way to pop up a confirmation message when i hit the delete key ?
[19:53] <Linux_Freshe1> odder:  or  answer to above Q1 ?
[19:54] <Odd-rationale> Linux_Freshe1: As for your other question, there is no restore feature in ubuntu *yet*. From what I read, hardy may have this feature. As a side note, kubuntu already has the restore feature.
[19:54] <CaBa|> odder: well ... if you umount the fs immediately you do have a chance ;)
[19:54] <odder> CaBa|: yes, that's the only possibility ;>
[19:54] <odder> Linux_Freshe1: I keep asking Google on Q1
[19:55] <Linux_Freshe1> odder:  umm .. will give it a go .. brb
[19:55] <sureshot> I try copy directory with permissions but i get answear cp: omitting directory

[19:56] <Seveas> sureshot, cp -a :)
[19:57] <sureshot> Seveas: is that with permissions u mean?

[19:57] <bernier> Hi, my HDA intel soundcard doesn't work even after following this tut: HdaIntelSoundHowto can someon help me?
[19:57] <alex-weej> does anybody else only get about 80kB/s from the main ubuntu archive? i used to blitz it...

[19:57] <Seveas> sureshot, yup -- read manpage for details
[19:57] <rosa> hola?
[19:57] <sureshot> Seveas: it says retain -a retain archival attributes
[19:58] <sureshot> isnt that just the structure?

[19:58] <odder> Odd-rationale: ext3 manual says there's no way to recover deleted files on ext3
[19:58] <sureshot> Seveas: oki ty will try
[19:59] <odder> Odd-rationale: see http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html#undelete
[19:59] <Sinnerman> how do i find out what process a window belongs to?
[19:59] <buz> i'm fighting with a nforce sata controller, gutsy tells me the drive times out (used to work on other sata controllers). any way to disable ahci?
[19:59] <Odd-rationale> odder: Sorry. I meant file sent to ~/.Trash i.e. the traxh bin.
[19:59] <Odd-rationale> *trash

[20:00] <microwaver> Hello, is there anyone who managed to install his ATI RADEON X600 Drivers for Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[20:00] <Soal_Reap>  .. [sudo] password for user: , user is not in the sudoers file.   <--- i only have 1 user and hes not in it...
[20:00] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  any possibility of changing the nautulus behaviour ? that when i hit delete, files shouldnt disappear totally, they should go to trash can ?
[20:01] <drc> Linux_Freshe1:  I just tried using the delete key in  Nautilus 2.20.0 and my delete(s) went to the trashcan by default.  I don't<think> I've made any changes to  Nautilus 2.20.0's config, so I wonder why yours didn't
[20:01] <SpookyET> For some reason when I play music, windows start to freeze from time to time. banshee, rhythmbox, mpd, it does not matter. Is alsa clogging the cpu?
[20:01] <Achoth> microwaver: Probably, but have you tried Envy?
[20:01] <Odd-rationale> Linux_Freshe1: By default they should go to the trashbin. Double ckeck in Edit -> Prefences.
[20:01] <microwaver> Achoth, how do you mean?
[20:01] <odder> Linux_Freshe1: well, I'm not using Ubuntu atm, maybe try using gconf-editor?
[20:01] <Achoth> SpookyET: Is _Windows_ freezing? O.o
[20:01] <SilverWolf> Hi. Is it just me, or is the default kernel only compiled for uni kernel?
[20:02] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  i havent ever gone in any prefes  ..  but will double check if u say
[20:02] <balle> hpw do i gain access to my hda5?
[20:02] <SilverWolf> uni cpu core
[20:02] <SilverWolf> :)
[20:02] <Achoth> microwaver: It's a program, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[20:02] <drc> Linux_Freshe1:  How was the volume mounted?
[20:02] <SpookyET> Achoth: yeah. The music is playing
[20:02] <eldragon> hey, does upgrading to hardy improve battery life on notebooks?
[20:02] <Odd-rationale> odder: Becuase currently, when you put files into the trash bin, there is no way to restore them to their original locations. Which can be quite a disater if those files was your music collection...
[20:02] <eldragon> empirically speaking, that is
[20:02] <microwaver> Achoth, Let me try that. Thanks for the info.
[20:03] <ThRixXx> !info java
[20:03] <microwaver> Achoth, can I just get it with the apt-get install?
[20:03] <ubotu> Package java does not exist in gutsy
[20:03] <ThRixXx> !java
[20:03] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[20:03] <Achoth> SpookyET: Oh! I thought you meant like Windows XP :P
[20:03] <Linux_Freshe1> drc:  erm .. not sure .. its 80 gb sata hard drive where i have given 1 gb to swap file and 4 gbs to ubuntu  .. the 4 gbs is formatted to ext3,  the 1 gb is swap, and rest is ntfs windows partition
[20:03] <odder> Odd-rationale: well, if you use drag&drop, that's possible
[20:03] <Achoth> microwaver: No you can not
[20:03] <microwaver> Achoth, Ok.
[20:03] <Odd-rationale> Linux_Freshe1: Is it files from your / partition or external hdd ?
[20:04] <SpookyET> Achoth: the players i mentioned don't run on windows xp
[20:04] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  there is one option under nautulus behaviour which says "include a delete command that bypasses trash"  .. its not checked .
[20:04] <Odd-rationale> odder: Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted them from rhythmbox :(
[20:04] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  the movie which accidentally got deleted was from NTFS windows partition
[20:04] <jacob> what is the recomended way to install the nvidia binary drivers?
[20:05] <microwaver> Achoth, let's hopet his works, cuz a 650* 480 screen isn't very handy :-)
[20:05] <balle> bash: /home/balle/Desktop/pidgin-2.4.0.tar.bz2: Permission denied why ohh why!?
[20:05] <Achoth> SpookyET: Unless you use Cygwin :o but it was just a missunderstanding, sorry
[20:05] <carrera> why do I get a Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... on a fresh install
[20:05] <drc> Linux_Freshe1:  Not sure but I'll bet that's it
[20:05] <jacob> do i have to download the linux headers?
[20:05] <microwaver> Balle, directory permission? try to chmod them?
[20:05] <Odd-rationale> Linux_Freshe1: OK. Then the story is completely differnet. If you press delete fram a external fat or ntfs partitoin they are GONE!
[20:05] <odder> Linux_Freshe1: according to Launchpad, there's an option in gconf, try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/118988/comments/1
[20:05] <DRebellion> balle, sudo chmod 777 pidgin-2.4.0.tar.bz2
[20:05] <carrera> why do I get a Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... on a fresh install?
[20:05] <Flare183> carrera: It's not required
[20:05] <MrPower> I have one question,: what is the different between hda and sda?
[20:05] <Flare183> !repeat | carrera (please don't repeat)
[20:05] <carrera> Flannel, but i don't have the Orange Bar when I boot
[20:06] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  okies, its then not a bug, but surely a warning message should pop up saying that the file will be gone and wont be moved to trash
[20:06] <ubotu> carrera (please don't repeat): Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[20:06] <Flare183> carrera: it's Flare183
[20:06] <Linux_Freshe1> Odd-rationale:  where can i put such suggestion ?
[20:06] <Achoth> MrPower: hda is the first IDE drive, sda is the first SATA drive
[20:06] <MrPower> ok thx
[20:06] <Flare183> carrera: 2 different things
[20:06] <balle> chmod: cannot access `pidgin-2.4.9.tar.bz2': No such file or director
[20:06] <carrera> thanks Flare183
[20:06] <Flare183> carrera: no problem
[20:07] <drc> Linux_Freshe1:  maybe http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[20:07] <Linux_Freshe1> drc:  tx
[20:07] <carrera> Flare183, but when I installed ubuntu 7.10 from the same CD on a friends laptop, the Orange Bar shows on boot
[20:07] <carrera> that's weird
[20:07] <DRebellion> balle, put /home/balle/Desktop/pidgin.....
[20:07] <CaBa|> balle: you must not _run_ that file
[20:07] <Flare183> carrera: it's supposed to
[20:08] <CaBa|> balle: you should unpack it
