[02:51] <mattgyver83> Hey room, i just recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 and for some reason it is slower to load on my laptop, is this normal?
[02:51] <mzanfardino> note: iwlist scan reports my router as availble upto 54mpbs
[02:51] <hana> i dont doubt it its just the only thing I had to go on at the time
[02:51] <usr13> hana: Cups is the last successful task that is accomplished, the next one is more than likely the culprit.
[02:52] <mojo> andatche, the hex values will be shown on the left for each character on the right.  you can use the calculator built in (applications>accesories>calculator) and change the view to Scientific (view menu).
[02:52] <mzanfardino> ma1: are you looking to render your own maps?
[02:52] <dfcarney> hana: look in /etc/rcX.d to see the boot order of things (where X is your runlevel)
[02:52] <Ryan_was_here> Whats up everybody!
[02:52] <scguy318> mzanfardino: you could try ndiswrapper
[02:52] <mojo> andr3www, put it in hex mode, type in the hex value, then put it in decimal mode to see the decimal value of that hex code.  then you can look up that hex code on an ASCII chart found by searching the web.
[02:52] <scguy318> mzanfardino: might be able to achieve the max speed
[02:53] <hana> sorry to sound dumb, but how do I know what my run level is
[02:53] <ketrox> Gnomobile, reverse to the mesa driver then ati sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> how can i increase the desktop area / have it pan sideways?
[02:53] <dfcarney> hana: type "runlevel" on the command line.  it's probably 2
[02:53] <Ryan_was_here> Hey anyone got any tips on speading XGL up over here? boot time is not so fast :P
[02:53] <mojo> andatche, i am not sure if hd is installed by default, but it probably is.  if not, likely a 'sudo aptitude --install hd' will get the program for you.
[02:53] <hana> thank you
[02:53] <tntCry> scguy318, im in /etc/ssh/ssh_config thats for client i need to start the server isnt it a simple eye use app or a terminal work on hand :S
[02:54] <scguy318> tntCry: server should already be up
[02:54] <scguy318> tntCry: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[02:54] <mzanfardino> scguy318: ok, I suppose I could.  Honestly, I bought this specific NIC (belkin me1001-usb) because it has "fully supported" open source drivers... and it is supported out of the box: I didn't have to do anything to get it to work except plug it in...
[02:54] <scguy318> tntCry: if thats not already the case
[02:54] <mojo> andr3www, sorry, just saw your other messages.  it is a B6 or in decimal 182
[02:54] <ma1> mzanfardino:am looking for a package that would give me direction of maps
[02:54] <scguy318> mzanfardino: yeah wireless is a slight pain on Linux
[02:54] <Ryan_was_here> wireless?
[02:54] <Ryan_was_here> May I be of assistence?
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> assistance*
[02:55] <scguy318> sure, mzanfardino needs it
[02:55] <abhi> hi there
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> whats his problem?
[02:55] <mojo> andr3www, OOPS my mistake!  it is a B7 or in decimal 183
[02:55] <scguy318> Ryan_was_here: not achieving maximum 54 Mbps on his wireless device
[02:55] <tntCry> scguy318, and if i want to restart server i rename start with restart?
[02:55] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: issue with usb wifi not achieving max throughput
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> well that is poop right there.
[02:55] <Ryan_was_here> what is his internet speed?
[02:55] <tntCry> cool it did
[02:55] <usr13> hana: I just looked at dmesg and it appears that apm comes after cups  (Advanced Power Management subsystem).
[02:55] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> type iwpriv and see if any of those options you can enable to boost the rate
[02:55] <usr13> hana: But that's just on my system.
[02:55] <scguy318> tntCry: yes
[02:56] <mzanfardino> scguy318: I was thinking you might want to render your own maps, in which case I'd have recommended mapserver, but if you are looking for already rendered maps you are better off with maps.google.com and the like
[02:56] <usr13> hana: And apm can be dissabled at boot time,  (I think)
[02:56] <tntCry> scguy318, my server is up :D but now its like a lost server in the pacific ocean , what must i do :s
[02:56] <matttis> Does anyone have experience with installing brother printer drivers ?
[02:56] <scguy318> mzanfardino: wrong addressee :)
[02:56] <mzanfardino> scguy318: bah, sorry, meant for ma1
[02:56] <scguy318> tntCry: connect to it with your SSH client
[02:56] <arnutis> j ubuntu
[02:57] <mzanfardino> ma1: see comments I made to scguy318
[02:57] <Gnomobile> when I run "sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" I'm getting the error "Aborted (core dumped)" anyone know why?
[02:57] <abhi> this is great... had no idea so many ubuntu users use irc
[02:57] <hana> I will give that a try thank you.  I will let you guys know if it doesnt work.  thank you again.
[02:57] <tntCry> i want to configure the server file to have port on 8080 because of the blocked ports in the uni , i need to fix user name ect..
[02:57] <txoof> I want to install X, but I don't want the nonsense X based login stuff.  What can I do to prevent that from installing?
[02:57] <ComPro> ATI sucks. but no, really, I had that problem too, Gnomobile, and I ultimately went and bought a new video card because my ATI card was causing me nothing but problems in Windows and Linux.
[02:57] <Ryan_was_here> port 8080 is used by ice cast.
[02:57] <mojo> andr3www, look at http://www.asciitable.com/  and you'll see that it's an "extended ASCII" character, like the IBM graphical characters used to draw borders and such on text-mode programs on a PC.
[02:57] <arnutis> hi who can help me with update the new version of ubuntu?
[02:57] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: http://rafb.net/p/posTPK47.html
[02:58] <andr3www> ya I found it
[02:58] <andr3www> now how do I type that into the console
[02:58] <Ryan_was_here> hmm.
[02:58] <usr13> arnutis: Your system should just offer to do it for you, if you've updated the previous version.
[02:58] <mojo> andr3www, since those characters only tend to work properly on monospaced fonts intended for a terminal, many fonts don't have a rendering for that ASCII value.
[02:58] <Ryan_was_here> mzanfardino: eth0? I thought you were using wireless
[02:59] <Ryan_was_here> eth2*
[02:59] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: I'm getting 24mbps solid, but I can't seem to get any faster... and my router supports it
[02:59] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: eth2 is my wireless
[02:59] <usr13> Ryan_was_here: eth0 could very well be the wireless NIC.
[02:59] <txoof> What is the X based login prompt?
[02:59] <andr3www> I have to type in that channel name
[02:59] <mojo> andr3www, look at it with some other monospaced fonts, especially ones inteded for a console/terminal, and you may see it.  Otherwise you'll get a placeholder character like your question mark inverted
[02:59] <Ryan_was_here> Why the odd naming?
[02:59] <andr3www> ok thanks
[02:59] <tntCry> i have 20 minutes scguy318
[03:00] <arnutis> usr13 i had updated but then i start the ubuntu 7.10 system update the error comes on
[03:00] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: eth0 is wired, eth1 is on-board (disabled as it's using ipw2100 which has known firmware issues) and eth2 is ME1001-USB (belkin with zd1211 firmware)
[03:00] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> type iwpriv and see if any of those options you can enable to boost the rate
[03:00] <Ryan_was_here> disable your eth1 if your not using it.
[03:00] <mojo> andr3www, well, i don't know if it works under Linux (haven't tried), but on many PC's if you hold down the ALT key and enter a three-digit ascii value on the number pad, it will render the character.  I used to do that a lot for the accent-grave on the "e" in my last name.  Sort of an e with a little diagonal slash on top.
[03:00] <usr13> arnutis: What error?
[03:00] <andr3www> awesome I changed the encoding to Western IBM850 and it works!
[03:00] <andr3www> thanks!
[03:01] <mzanfardino> bulmer: I've done that http://rafb.net/p/posTPK47.html (don't know how to use these options)
[03:01] <sethk> you're, not your.  It's a contraction of you are.
[03:01] <mojo> andr3www, k3w3l!
[03:01] <mojo> andr3www, (cool)
[03:01] <andr3www> it's too bad family guy ended 1/2 an hour ago :(
[03:01] <mojo> andatche, there are sites that have TV show torrents if you missed the episode
[03:01] <tntCry> scguy318, when i connect i type ssh <username>@ < ip > ??? they mean my username at uni or server server ?
[03:01] <mojo> andatche, sorry, that was for andr3www
[03:01] <arnutis> usr13 Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/dists/feisty/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntustudio.org'
[03:02] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> i guess thats not much of an option to choose from...some drivers just does not give you much choices
[03:02] <mojo> andr3www, search for the episode on torrent sites maybe
[03:02] <tntCry> i need to know scguy318 how to edit the server file so i can set a port :(
[03:02] <Gnomobile> what's the shortcut keys for restarting the xserver?
[03:02] <mojo> Gnomobile, ctrl-backspace, isn't it?
[03:02] <usr13> arnutis: ubuntustudio.org may just be temporarily down at the moment.
[03:03] <andr3www> yup that's the only thing left
[03:03] <mojo> Gnomobile, maybe ctrl-alt-backspace?  I don't want to test it :P
[03:03] <andr3www> mythbuntu won't even scan the chans properly
[03:03] <bulmer> tntCry-> your username on the remote end (how you are known to your uni)
[03:03] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: not sure how...
[03:03] <tntCry> bulmer, we are in the topic of ssh
[03:03] <Ryan_was_here> mzanfardino:  answered in pm ;)
[03:03] <mzanfardino> bulmer: yes, well, you might recall I was trying to use the ipw2100 earlier and found that the firmware errors I saw in dmesg are known to occure with the ipw2100, so I bought a belkin which is listed as out-of-the-box ready
[03:03] <arnutis> usr13 I though so 2, will try later. Thanks. :)
[03:04] <mojo> tntCry, so we have to be quiet?  (sry, lame joke)
[03:04] <bulmer> mzanfardino-> it works right out of the box?
[03:04] <sethk> control-alt-backspace is correct
[03:05] <nemik> is anyone using the iwlwifi drivers for the intel 3945 instead of ipw3945? are they better or worse?
[03:06] <usr13> mojo: It's Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[03:06] <Ryan_was_here> mzanfardino: are you getting any of my pms? jw.
[03:06] <Ryan_was_here> Been having issues with pms lately :P
[03:07] <ari_stress> hi guys, why do we use X.org now? not XFree86 anymore?
[03:07] <aru> jim
[03:08] <sethk> ari_stress, long story, google for it and you'll find tons of info
[03:08] <Ryan_was_here> ari_stress: Because Xfree86 stopped building. Just went dry. X.org picked it up, and is the current developer.
[03:08] <mzanfardino> Ryan_was_here: yes
[03:08] <phiqtion> !virtualbox
[03:08] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[03:08] <Nedteleubu> Hi, I'm trying to fix my tv card install.. i have to type in the following " make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build menuconfig ##replace uname -r with your current kernel version"  how do i find my kernel etc...thanks
[03:08] <usr13> ari_stress: You can use XFree86 if you want, but xorg is just more widely used / supported.  Most of the others have migrated to it as well, etc.
[03:09] <ari_stress> thanks sethk, Ryan_was_here, usr13
[03:09] <bulmer> Nedteleubu-> that `uname -r` will tell you
[03:09] <mojo> SantaHatesRetard, look in the PM convo... I replied
[03:09] <T70K5> is there any possible way for a ubuntu newbie to get desktop effects enabled on a ATI Radeon xpress 200 (chipset is actually 1100, but drivers are 200)?
[03:09] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: yes.
[03:09] <Ryan_was_here> I have the same card
[03:09] <T70K5> how?
[03:09] <andr3www> Anyways thanks a lot for your help it is much appreciated, GOodnight!
[03:09] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: pm me
[03:10] <mojo> andrew__, gnite!
[03:10] <dominion> can someone help me install Vmware player from a .tar file? I've never been successful installing from tar
[03:10] <Nedteleubu> Thanks bulmer !
[03:10] <mattgyver83> Hey room, just installed 7.10.  After login my screen goes black for about 30-45 seconds before gnome loads.  Any one know what this could be from?
[03:10] <tonsofpcs> anyone know of software that will estimate how long something will take to read?
[03:10] <nemik> how would i switch from ipw3945 to iwlwifi-3945?
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: its in the repositories.
[03:10] <usr13> ari_stress:  One problems is that XFree changed their license to one that nearly nobody likes.
[03:11] <scguy318> sethk: success, thanks :)
[03:11] <dominion> Oh no I already downloaded it..... Thanks. I'll have a look for the repository version.
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: i'm pretty sure it is, if not, i know virtualbox is.
[03:11] <bulmer> tonsofpcs-> while the person is multi-tasking or not?
[03:11] <Nedteleubu> is the double hash needed? ##
[03:11] <tonsofpcs> bulmer: not
[03:11] <tonsofpcs> bulmer: like for presentations
[03:11] <ketrox> nemik rmmod ipw3945 then modprob iwl3945 i guess
[03:12] <bulmer> tonsofpcs-> well give them time...some people have hard of seing
[03:12] <tonsofpcs> kinda like newsroom systems will estimate show time based upon the words in them
[03:12] <dominion> actually if someone isn't busy. perhaps they could talk me through it anyway. I think it might be a worthwhile learning experience to do it from .tar
[03:12] <tonsofpcs> and some people apparently have hard of heading...
[03:12] <bulmer> tonsofpcs-> right..so it depends on your audience
[03:13] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: you there?
[03:13] <bruenig> nemik, kill the daemon too: ipw3945d --kill
[03:13] <usr13> dominion: tar -zxvf vmware.whatever.tar  ;  less INSTALL
[03:13] <john_titor> DE DIA Y DE NOCHEEEEEEEEEE.... QUISIERA TOMAAAAR MI TETITAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:13] <bruenig> usr13, the - and the z are redundant
[03:13] <usr13> dominion: tar -zxvf vmware.whatever.tar  ;  cd vmware.whatever ; less INSTALL
[03:13] <dominion> what's less install mean?
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> !compile | dominion
[03:13] <ubotu> dominion: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[03:13] <dominion> I know how to cd... and tar is the application
[03:14] <Ryan_was_here> dominion: what is your problem?
[03:14] <bruenig> usr13, in fact z shouldn't even be used if it is just .tar
[03:14] <IdleOne> Ryan_was_here: for users to pm on freenode they need to register. most newbies dont have a clue about it . point them to !register and the bot will give them info. i.e. !register | Ryan_was_here
[03:14] <usr13> bruenig: The - is no longer needed, yes, that is true, but z is to unzip
[03:14] <Flannel> dominion: It basically opens up INSTALL (a text file) in less so you can view it
[03:14] <bruenig> usr13, z means that it is gzipped
[03:14] <ToddED1> hey guys , i think i need to get drivers for my ATI radeon card, how would i do this?
[03:14] <T70K5> Yes
[03:14] <T70K5> I Pm'd you but you haven't responded
[03:14] <dominion> I downloaded the .tar file and never seem to get them to install... I'll read the docs and come back with any probs. thanks
[03:14] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: Are you registered?
[03:14] <T70K5> no
[03:15] <bruenig> usr13, x is extract, z is for gzip (only needed now for creating archives not extracting), j is for bzip (same parentheses info)
[03:15] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: then you can't pm :P
[03:15] <IndyGunFreak> T70K5: then as stated several times, you can't pm
[03:15] <T70K5> on freenode?
[03:15] <usr13> bruenig: Well, ok, yes if it is truly just a .tar you are right, but he has more than likely downloaded a gziped tarball.
[03:15] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: yes
[03:15] <bruenig> usr13, but you don't need to use the z or j
[03:15] <T70K5> I wasn't reading this window my apologies
[03:15] <tarsin> anyone familar with building kernels? this doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile says after running `sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.22` it installs the source to some debian/ sub directory.. but it doesn't specify the full path, and thus i have no idea where it is..
[03:15] <usr13> bruenig: Yes you are correct.
[03:15] <Ryan_was_here> T70K5: its all good. got msn or yahoo?
[03:16] <IdleOne> T70K5: /msg nickserv help register will get you there in less then a minute
[03:16] <Nedteleubu> Hi , just one last Q " make menuconfig ##select the drivers that you need but CRITICALLY remove the micro PCM radio driver or the make will fail looking for an aci.h file that doesnt exist"   how will I know which drivers to select?
[03:16] <T70K5> yahoo
[03:16] <T70K5> T70K5
[03:16] <usr13> bruenig: Again you are correct.  I was only trying to give him some info to get him started.  Would have to know the exact file name to know exactly what to do to extract the files.  If it is bz  -jxvf if it is tz  -zxvf
[03:17] <bruenig> usr13, if it is bz, -xf, if it is tz -xf
[03:17] <bulmer> tarsin-> try and look for it at /usr/src if any
[03:17] <bruenig> usr13, xf works for both
[03:17] <Nedteleubu> I'm using this guide if it helps http://tf.erzz.com/2006/05/17/hauppauge-hvr-1100-hybrid-dvb-t-card-working-under-ubuntu-dapper/
[03:18] <tarsin> bulmer, all i have there is linux-headers-2.6.22-14
[03:18] <tarsin> which was there previously
[03:18] <usr13> bruenig: Really, ok  xf  will have to remember that. Never tried that.
[03:19] <bulmer> tarsin-> look there for the headers
[03:19] <bruenig> usr13, well you know what each of the letters do right: x - extract, f - force, v - verbose, j and z are for bzip and gzip respectively but only for creating archives not extracting them, so you can figure out the combos pretty easily from there
[03:19] <tarsin> bulmer, i want the entire source tree. not just the headers...
[03:19] <nemik> thank bruenig and ketrox
[03:20] <ToddED1> is there a cmd i can use to find out what video card i am using?

[03:20] <usr13> bruenig: Yes, I know.  man tar
[03:20] <usr13> good read
[03:21] <bulmer> ToddED1-> try lshw

[03:29] <usr13> mattgyver83: That is fairly normal for a 400Mhz processor.  Ubuntu uses a hughe kernel and just takes a while to load the Xserver.
[03:29] <kenro> anyone here understand file associations?
[03:29] <joseph> i ok i installed gdesklets from the synaptics package manager....what do i type in the terminal to open the program?

[03:29] <bulmer> matttis-> start with your browser and browse to locahost:631
[03:29] <SeaK> usr13 how do i check my nic?
[03:29] <ketrox> joseph gdesklets
[03:29] <mattgyver83> usrl3, thanks for the info.  It was just odd because 7.04 there was no delay.
[03:30] <usr13> SeaK: lspci
[03:30] <matttis> bulmer: looks good
[03:30] <usr13> SeaK: Is it pcmcia?
[03:30] <joseph> i just did that, in the terminal, its says connected to daemon when i type that
[03:30] <usr13> SeaK: Or an onbard one?
[03:30] <ketrox> joseph or just click on it on the menu
[03:30] <SeaK> its on board in a laptop
[03:30] <joseph> which menu?
[03:30] <bulmer> matttis-> to set up a user password while using that web interface  on a terminal as root type  lppasswd username

[03:32] <MaxL> how do you write in ntfs?
[03:32] <Rukker> Anyone know if/when theres a kernel upgrade available for gutsy?
[03:32] <matttis> bulmer: the printer is not in the list
[03:32] <bulmer> matttis-> i did not ask you to install anything yet...cups needs your ppd
[03:32] <IdleOne> dominion: the folder that was created when you extracted the file
[03:32] <ketrox> !ntfs
[03:32] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[03:32] <matttis> bulmer: dont know where to get that from
[03:32] <MaxL> !NTFS-3g
[03:32] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:33] <Bruno_> i need help with using ssh to get to a friends computer

[03:35] <dta948_2> I didnt see the chipset or video model listed
[03:35] <bulmer> dta948_2-> can you not order them pre-loaded with linux?
[03:35] <MaxL> ketrox, no for msn and aim and what not
[03:35] <matttis> bulmer: thanks, the easiest hint might be the best one (google)
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> dta948_2: really need more info on the hardware specs
[03:35] <dta948_2> bulmer  I am not sure, I saw this on CC's website
[03:36] <bulmer> dta948_2-> try anyways, hp sells one with linux, dont know which distro they use though

[03:36] <usr13> SeaK:
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: are you in the right source directory?
[03:37] <usr13> SeaK: apt-cache search madwifi
[03:37] <dta948_2> IndyGunFreak  it has the nvidia card NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M
[03:37] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: its not on a lan

[03:37] <primary> Hello. I just configured Thunderbird to be compatible with Gmail, but for some reason it won't download all my messages at once. Is there a way to fix that?
[03:37] <dominion> I'm in this folder "dominion@dominion-laptop:~/Desktop/vmware-player-distrib$ "
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: then how do you expec to ssh into it?

[03:38] <dominion> and this is the contents of the folder "bin  doc  etc  FILES  installer  lib  sbin  system_etc  usr  vmware-install.pl"
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> dta948_2: but wireless, it can be a pain w/ Linux.
[03:38] <dta948_2> IndyGunFreak  yeah. I am still trying to find the chipset.
[03:38] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: i thought you could do it iven if its not on a lan
[03:38] <peacepipejv> anybody having trouble with the repositories?
[03:38] <zloog420> UbuntMe: You can control what programs run on startup by going to System->Prefrences->Sessions
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: i don't see how, but maybe.
[03:39] <bulmer> Bruno_-> where is the remote computer? connected to some kind of network at all?
[03:39] <jazz> what's the best svn client for linux? is there something like tortoisesvn that's integrated into the file system?
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> dominion: are tyou in the proper source directory(in a terminal), to run ./configure?
[03:39] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: well, the original problem was to scp some files to a friends computer, then i was asked to try to ssh into it...
[03:39] <Bruno_> bulmer: well, its connected to the internet, but thats all
[03:40] <jazz>  what's the best svn client for ubuntu? is there something like tortoisesvn that's integrated into the file system?
[03:40] <bulmer> Bruno_-> your buddy has to allocate a user account for you and a home directory so you can  put your files there
[03:40] <clockbiscuit> hello; i am trying to get my ATI radeon X800 going under ubuntu 7.10. I've installed the ati driver 8.42.3 but my X allways dies and resets to vesa when i try and enable the driver
[03:40] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: well, i really don't know, i don't know how you'd ssh into a machine thats not on the internet.
[03:40] <Rian-Davide> anyone here know if linux live works with gutsy?
[03:40] <whyameye> I want to download the same source for ffmpeg as on my dapper machine. How do I figure out the revision number?
[03:40] <Bruno_> bulmer: cant it be on his same user account, or on mine, for that matter?
[03:41] <ketrox> clockbiscuit, try following this :  http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[03:41] <Megaqwerty> whyameye: ffmpeg -v ?
[03:41] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak:no, it is connected to the internet, just not directly with my computer, like on the same place
[03:41] <Neatchee> Ok, new problem :D  Trying to set up an OpenSSH server.  I have plaintext auth disabled, and i've uploaded my rsa pub key and added it to the authorized key file in ~/.ssh, but it's still giving me "permissiondenied (publickey)
[03:41] <Neatchee> Any ideas?
[03:41] <UbuntMe> zloog420: thanks
[03:41] <clockbiscuit> i've been there - i think its installed i'm not sure how to enable it. or is that idea insane?
[03:41] <bulmer> Bruno_-> it can be any user account as long are you are permitted to put files there..can you imagine if just anyone able  to fill that diretory
[03:41] <peacepipejv> anybody else having trouble accessing the repositories via apt-get in the terminal
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> Bruno_: oh ok, well, i'm not that familiar w/ ssh, so good luck.
[03:41] <usr13> SeaK: Yes, that's probably what you need, the rectricted-modules
[03:42] <Bruno_> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[03:42] <scguy318> jazz: svn? :P
[03:42] <whyameye> Megaqwerty: that doesn't show the revision. it does show the date but I don't know how to sync the revision w/ the date.
[03:42] <IdleOne> Neatchee: you probably need to restart the server
[03:42] <usr13> SeaK: and madwifi-tools
[03:42] <SeaK> usr13: how do i get those?
[03:42] <Megaqwerty> whyameye: aptitude show ffmpeg | grep Version
[03:42] <Neatchee> IdleOne, lol i'm not THAT slow :D
[03:43] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok, here's what we've done so far. got sshd up and running, told the firewall to allowe port 22 for incoming traffic and configured port forwarding on my friends router. Anything else left to fo?
[03:43] <peacepipejv> anybody know whats going on with the repos?
[03:43] <bulmer> Bruno_-> he gave you a password for his account ?
[03:43] <Bruno_> bulmer: no
[03:44] <usr13> SeaK: Easiest way would be to hook up via hard wire,  temporaririly, and do:  sudo apt-get madwifi-tools
[03:44] <clockbiscuit> yeh i think i am going to have to go out and get an nvidia card; i'm banging my head against the wall trying to get ati going
[03:44] <bulmer> Bruno_-> he created an account for you yet?
[03:44] <Bruno_> bulmer: but we havent even got to that point, every time i try to ssh int his computer y get Connection refused.
[03:44] <Bruno_> bulmer: no,
[03:44] <Megaqwerty> whyameye: that work for you?
[03:44] <Rian-Davide> is there a ubuntu linux live how to?
[03:44] <Rian-Davide> maybe in the ubuntu forums?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: what do you mean?..
[03:44] <ketrox> clockbiscuit, it works well for me
[03:44] <bulmer> Bruno_-> thats one of the requirements..an account on his system
[03:45] <SeaK> usr13: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic - Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on x86/x86_64

[03:45]  * IdleOne ssh's to bulmer's pc. hmmm connection refused
[03:45] <usr13> SeaK: Easiest way would be to hook up via hard wire,  temporaririly, and do:  sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools
[03:46] <JonathanH> Can someone tell me why when i try to connect to my wireless network that is protected it will not take my pass-phrase. if i connect to other network without pass word protection the Internet does not work...

[03:50] <sky`sunset> thank u so much
[03:50] <thompa> anybody single booting intel macbook?
[03:50] <joshua__> I need to mount hdc1 from the live cd so I can edit the file
[03:50] <usr13> SeaK: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:50] <JonathanH> pretty new to this I could use someone who is willing to help.. basic stuff i would guess
[03:51] <joshua__> does anyone know the command to mount a hard disk from the livecd?
[03:51] <SeaK> usr13: .... i dont understand sry new here
[03:51] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, after u hit the Tab key, did u add the : by urself?
[03:51] <bulmer> joshua__-> same command as if you were not in livecd
[03:51] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, or it add the : automatically?
[03:51] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: you can change that in the xchat prefs
[03:52] <Gnomobile> ok I don't know how but I managed to get this ati radeon x1950 working with 3d graphics, but now the "System > Administration > Screens and Graphics" doesn't do anything. Anyone know what utility I'm supposed to use to change the resolution or frequency etc?
[03:52] <usr13> SeaK: sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:52] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, how ? i am a new user for irc, sry
[03:52] <joshua__> bulmer:  I know you have to mkdir first then issue a command to mount the file system I dont remember the command
[03:52] <weisswursts> hi
[03:52] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Did you try dpkg-reconfigure postgres...?
[03:52] <weisswursts> i had gzip running as root filling my space...
[03:52] <weisswursts> i have no idea what that is
[03:52] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: click on settings in the xchat window , click on prefferences and look in there
[03:53] <sky`sunset> IdleOne, thank u
[03:53] <quick_nick> here is a newb question.  i am thinking about getting a rig but wonder can i get directv channels on it?
[03:53] <weisswursts> after i killed gzip process, it didn'T fill my space anymore
[03:53] <bulmer> joshua__-> okay you can make a dir called  /mnt as your mount point ..then mount.. man mount for instructions
[03:53] <usr13> SeaK: Find the universal lines, (probably two of them), using the down arrow get the cursor on the # and use the x key to delet it.  :wq   to write and save and quit.
[03:53] <weisswursts> what could i do now?
[03:53] <IdleOne> sky`sunset: no problem
[03:53] <weisswursts> is that some kind of bug?
[03:54] <joshua__> bulmer it would be easier to just tell me the command
[03:54] <usr13> SeaK: Use the down and right and left arrows to move the cursor around.
[03:54] <matttis> bulmer: thanks again
[03:54] <JonathanH> Bulmer-> i have connected to other networks that do not have wep. I connect just fine to the network but cannot get anywhere with it
[03:54] <IdleOne> sky`sunset$$$ you can make the suffix pretty much anything you want but $$$ would be annoying so try to avoid annoying things :)
[03:54] <Gnomobile> is anyone using the restricted ati drivers? what utility are you using to change resolution/frequency?
[03:54] <usr13> SeaK: :wq     when you're done.
[03:54] <bulmer> joshua__-> it would but you'll forget and will not gain the experience of reading the man pages..if you get stuck we will help
[03:54] <SeaK> usr13: what is a unverisal line?
[03:54] <ketrox> Gnomobile, the gnome default
[03:54] <TheDetective> when I attempt to use the gcc command in terminal, I get a 'command not found' error...why?
[03:54] <thompa> is there anyway to single boot ubuntu on  macbook without the 20 sec delay?
[03:55] <usr13> SeaK: Look for "## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'"  in /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:55] <usser> TheDetective: u dont have it installed
[03:55] <ketrox> TheDetective, maybe gcc is not installed
[03:55] <bulmer> JonathanH-> you have to look at your route table and gateway
[03:55] <weisswursts> hi, i had gzip running as root filling my space... i have no idea what that is after i killed gzip process, it didn'T fill my space anymore what could i do now? is that some kind of bug?
[03:55] <joshua__> you know what I will log out log into my installation get the error message patebin then come back for help
[03:55] <Aaack> Hello there! I'm from Argentina so excuse in advance my poor english.  I would like to know if someone knows a good file manager capable to navigate a Nokia 6131 through an USB connection (wich my Ubuntu Feisty recognized perfectly well).
[03:56] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: yes, and no apparent change
[03:56] <pabix> Hello. Is there some "cat" command for sound files?
[03:56] <Wisteso> anyone know why a failed restore from hibernation might cause locking when booting from the hard drive OR live cd afterwards?
[03:56] <JonathanH> any idea why i can not even connect to my own network using a key i know i correct ?
[03:56] <zloog420> pabix what do you mean?
[03:56] <peacepipejv> why cant i access the repos via terminal
[03:56] <drmikecrowe> I don't get why apt-get install postgresql-8.2 doesn't create /var/lib dir's and /etc files
[03:56] <usr13> SeaK: After editing the file, do:  sudo apt-get update
[03:56] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I would try apt-get remove --purge postgre.... and then try reinstalling it again.  If not I don't know where to go from there.
[03:56] <Bruno_> bulmer: so how would the synatx be. we now have a shared account so it would be ssh -l compartido@his-ip -p 22 ?
[03:56] <bulmer> JonathanH-> can you get it connected to your wireless AP if wep is temporarily disabled?
[03:56] <pabix> zloog420, I would like some command to concatenate sound files... the inverse of oggsplt in other words
[03:56] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: I didn't try purge, let me try that
[03:56] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: are you running sudo?
[03:57] <drmikecrowe> pabix: try play or aplay
[03:57] <bulmer> Bruno_->  that looks good
[03:57] <pabix> play?
[03:57] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: You did get all the dependencies like postgre-common and everything?
[03:57] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: yes
[03:57] <Gnomobile> ketrox, my gnome default is saying I'm using a vesa graphics card on an unknown monitor at 640x480 @60hz... when it's actually using the restricted ati drivers, and the output I'm looking at is probably 1600x1200
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> who knows,
[03:57] <peacepipejv> i tried to do an update
[03:57] <bulmer> Bruno_-> or if that dont work try  ssh -p 22 -l username ipaddress
[03:57] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: are you here in the US?
[03:57] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: No, it seems to just appear to install, but nothing changes.
[03:57] <peacepipejv> yes
[03:57] <SeaK> usr13: the only ones i found was  the 'backports' and   from Canonical's
[03:58] <pabix> drmikecrowe, OK, I will try this. Thank you
[03:58] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok, im also going to add -vv to check for any error mesages
[03:58] <drmikecrowe> I was trying to install gforge (big mistake)
[03:58] <usr13> SeaK: What version are you on?
[03:58] <Gnomobile> ketrox, any idea why the gnome default Screens and Graphics utility is out of sync with what x-server is actually outputting?
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: what error are you getting when you run sudo apt-get update
[03:58] <SeaK> usr13: gusty 7.10
[03:58] <ketrox> Gnomobile, what says fglrxinfo ?
[03:58] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I just installed it earlier today and it had to get about 8 other files.  Maybe right click on the postgresql file and look at it's dependencies to make sure they're being selected.
[03:59] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: I"m on a server via ssh, so everything from the command line
[03:59] <Bruno_>  bulmer: came back connection refused
[03:59] <drmikecrowe> Let me try purge, 1s
[03:59] <JonathanH> no i have not. i do not really have a way to disable that at this point. i have a macbook connected to it no problem though
[03:59] <bulmer> Bruno_-> his router may have not been opened yet to allow that port..besides his pc is behind a router right?
[03:59] <Gnomobile> ketrox, display: :0.0  screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1950 Series OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)
[04:00] <Bruno_> bulmer: yes
[04:00] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak:  111 conectio refused
[04:00] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't tell ya how to search for a program's dependencies via command line.
[04:00] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: dont know, doesn't make sense, works fine for me.
[04:00] <Bruno_> bulmer: how do we open the port?
[04:00] <bulmer> Bruno_-> his router may have not been opened yet to allow that port..ask him to configure his dsl/modem router to allow port 22 in
[04:00] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: is it showing only 1 one repo is down or is it a specific one.
[04:00] <ketrox> Gnomobile, mm try to change it using the ati config tool
[04:00] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok
[04:00] <bulmer> Bruno_-> i dont know which brand of router you have
[04:01] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak:  all of them
[04:01] <peacepipejv> its pretty wierd
[04:01] <Gnomobile> ketrox, how do you start that up?
[04:01] <Bruno_> bulmer: is that a port forwarding thing?
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> indeed
[04:01] <usr13> SeaK: Are you with me? .....
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: how long has it been like this?
[04:01] <Bruno_> bulmer: uz we already did that
[04:01] <Gnomobile> ketrox, aticonfig from a console?
[04:01] <ketrox> the newer version is amdcccle
[04:02] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: not long less than an hour, i just installed wine not to long ago
[04:02] <SeaK> usr13: yes
[04:02] <bulmer> Bruno_-> port forwarding and making sure his system is really detecting your attempt..what os he has on his end?
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[04:02] <Kernel-panic> hi there.. i have a problem with a kernel panic when i boot my system.. is anyone able to help me to rescue my system???
[04:03] <Bruno_> bulmer: ubuntu 7.10
[04:03] <SantaHatesRetard> my ubuntu feisty keeps periodically locking up completely. Nothing im doing seems to be causing it as it locks up even while being gone. memtest passed 3 passes with no errors. PSU voltages look great and are very stable. What is the next step to discover why this PC keeps locking?
[04:03] <amonkey> my cpufreq governor is set to ondemand, but for some reason when i plug in to ac the range of frequencies changed to 1.83-1.83 from 1-1.83. how can i stop this from happening?
[04:03] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: weird -- I don't know if it was adding postgresql-common to the install command, but it installed.  strange
[04:03] <peacepipejv> synaptic doesnt work either
[04:03] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Good deal, it should have added the client as well along with some other dependencies.
[04:03] <bulmer> Bruno_-> making sure his system is really detecting your attempt look in /var/log/messages
[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: there was an error with the Nvidia driver that was causing that on a specific card, but i don't remember exactly
[04:04] <Bruno_> bulmer: what do i look for?
[04:04] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: it did.  In trying to install gforge, I removed 8.2, installed 8.1, and generally mucked up everything.
[04:04] <drmikecrowe> All back now
[04:04] <bulmer> Bruno_-> log attempts
[04:04] <bulmer> Bruno_-> log attempts or connect attempts
[04:04] <IndyGunFreak> peacepipejv: well, if sudo apt-get update doesn't work,synaptic won't work, synaptic is just a GUI source manager
[04:04] <Bruno_> ok
[04:04] <SantaHatesRetard> i had a feeling it was video card related, so just disable the restricted driver and see if it is resolved?
[04:04] <pabix> drmikecrowe, I get "sox soxio: Failed reading `test1.mp3': unknown file type `auto'" : do I have to install a library?
[04:04] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok
[04:05] <hahafaha> Hello. I have a problem playing MPEG files
[04:05] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I'm still trying to figure out how to start postgre as an unprivileged user so it will work with the program I want to run.  :)
[04:05] <peacepipejv> IndyGunFreak: i had assumed that. You just never know
[04:05] <pabix> drmikecrowe, forget, I noticed there are many libsox-fmt-* packages
[04:05] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: you could try that
[04:06] <hahafaha> I normally use mplayer, and have a bunch of various codecs from medibuntu and mplayerhq installed. However, whenever I try to play an MP4 file, I get the audio, but weird purple garbage on the screen instead of video
[04:06] <drmikecrowe> pabix: could be - - I installed all sox files
[04:06] <SantaHatesRetard> if i stop using the restricted driver and it continues to lock, does that rule out nvidia driver issues?
[04:06] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: sudo -- I found some instructions on allowing a non-priviledged user to execute a single command
[04:06] <Kernel-panic> i got a kernel panic-not syncing   <... that was direct after init: error parsing configuration: no such file or directory
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: maybe.. one would think
[04:07] <SantaHatesRetard> IndyGunFreak, thanks. :)
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> SantaHatesRetard: your CPU fan, etc, is all working?
[04:07] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I tried running it as the postgre user but that still didn't allow my application to install.
[04:07] <bulmer> SantaHatesRetard-> why not try the lowest common denominator?  svga rez?
[04:07] <Kernel-panic> what is this init version?
[04:07] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: I'll probably just post the question in their forum.
[04:07] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: 1s, let me refer you to something
[04:08] <drmikecrowe> Centaur5: http://www.kforgeproject.com/doc/install  --- scroll down to section 2.1.  It was for apache, but would be easy to adopt for postgres
[04:09] <Centaur5> drmikecrowe: Perfect, I'll check it out.  thanks.
[04:09] <joshua__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45880/
[04:09] <weltschmerz> if i use esd, can multiple users use sound at the same time?  so one user can have music going, but another logged in user can hear system sounds?
[04:10] <hahafaha> can anybody help me? I normally use mplayer, and have a bunch of various codecs from medibuntu and mplayerhq installed. However, whenever I try to play an MP4 file, I get the audio, but weird purple garbage on the screen instead of video
[04:10] <joshua__> I cant use sudo commands anymore
[04:10] <John_R> solaris rocks
[04:10] <Bruno_> bulmer: how about if i want to connect to a windows machine?
[04:10] <boselecta> i think the recent evolution update broke the icon thingy on the panel
[04:11] <bulmer> Bruno_-> then its a different protocol unless you have ssh server running on that windows machine
[04:11] <graelb> Anybody know anything about xubuntu on tablets? I'm trying to get my screen to rotate 90 degrees.... no idea where to start
[04:11] <Bruno_> bulmer: LIKE PUTTY?
[04:11] <Bruno_> bulmer: sorry for caps
[04:12] <bulmer> Bruno_-> as an ssh client? Putty is okay..his end must be running an ssh server
[04:12] <joshua__> whenever I issue a command with sudo I get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45880/
[04:12] <Bruno_> bulmer: where can he get one?
[04:12] <difekta> my client just died, so if anyone answered my esd question, pleas repeat.
[04:12] <bulmer> joshua__-> sudo cat /etc/sudoers and see if you can spot the problem
[04:13] <naelr> hahafaha: is the mp4 a file with drm on it .. I notice that same problem if I try to play drm protected files
[04:13] <bulmer> Bruno_-> he has ubuntu? it has an ssh server or can be apt-get installed if not installed yet
[04:13] <Bruno_> bulmer:one fo them is on ubuntu, but another is on windows.
[04:14] <bulmer> Bruno_-> which is which?
[04:14] <hahafaha> naelr: no, it shouldn't be. It was downloaded from Google Video. Also, I was able to play it before, but then reinstalled Ubuntu
[04:14] <Bruno_> i think i managed to get my ports open and all, so the buntu friend should eb able to connect (he's away atm) so i want to try with my wondows friend now
[04:14] <Bruno_> bulmer:  i think i managed to get my ports open and all, so the buntu friend should eb able to connect (he's away atm) so i want to try with my wondows friend now
[04:14] <joshua__> bulmer, when i ssue sudo cat /etc/sudoers I get the same error
[04:14] <bulmer> Bruno_-> connect to your or you connect to them?
[04:15] <naelr> hahafaha: you musta missed some codec then... did you use automatix2 before and not this time or something like that?
[04:15] <Bruno_> bulmer: i think he can connect to my computer now.
[04:15] <bulmer> joshua__-> you have a screwed up /etc/sudoers file  thats why you cant sudo anymore?
[04:15] <Bruno_> bulmer: im not sure i can to his. we have diferent routers and its dificult to check if he's done it corectly
[04:15] <hahafaha> naelr: I may have very well used automatix2 last time. I certainly did not this time. I'll go try it
[04:15] <Revington> hey, does anyone know a way to check which processes are using your bandwidth and how much of it
[04:16] <pjeide> josh: cat /etc/sudoers    without the sudo first
[04:16] <bulmer> Bruno_-> i have to get off for now... AFK
[04:16] <Bruno_> bulmer: ok
[04:16] <joshua__> pjeide, permission denied
[04:16] <joshua__> bulmer, yes
[04:17] <kylexy1> sss
[04:18] <kylexy1> hhuc
[04:20] <Jonathan1> ok well i cannot disable my WEP on my connection at this time but i can connect to other wireless networks that are not protected.. any reason my wireless is not taking the key that is correct ?
[04:20] <Rian-Davide> anyone know how to use linux live for ubuntu?
[04:20] <peacepipejv> I need help with a 111 connection refused error when I sudo apt-get update
[04:20] <joules> hey i was wondering if anyone here has ever used an apple wireless keyboard on ubuntu?
[04:21] <dingyong> ?
[04:21] <dingyong> 有没有作
[04:21] <tritium> dingyong: English here, please
[04:22] <dingyong> can you tell me how to install qq
[04:22] <naelr> !qq
[04:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about qq - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:23] <tarsin> is there an ubuntu developers channel?
[04:23] <tritium> yes, tarsin, why?
[04:24] <tritium> This is the channel for support and questions.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> !welcome | tarsin
[04:24] <ubotu> tarsin: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> hrm..
[04:24] <Cpudan80> !off-topic | tarsin
[04:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:24] <Cpudan80> dammit
[04:24] <Cpudan80> !offtopic | tarsin
[04:24] <ubotu> tarsin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:25] <tarsin> because i have a question related to patching the kernel.. and i'd like to know if linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-14.46.diff.gz can be obtained as a collection of patches instead of a huge file as there seems to be conflicts with the patch i am trying to apply and the ubuntu patches
[04:26] <tritium> tarsin: the patches should be below the debian directory in the source package
[04:26] <Rian-Davide> Can anyone help me with linux live?  Is it even compatible with Ubuntu?  I cant find any documentation about is being used for ubuntu
[04:26] <DrX> login user returns must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh" -- what does that mean and how do you do it?
[04:27] <tritium> tarsin: check here for more info on ubuntu kernels: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam
[04:27] <tritium> Rian-Davide: never heard of it
[04:27] <peacepipejv> hey, i was only able to do apt-get update logged in as root. Any suggestions? The only change ive made recently was a wine install and a change in the wine regedit
[04:27] <Cpudan80> peacepipejv: That's how it works?
[04:27] <Cpudan80> sudo apt-get thing
[04:27] <joules> uh .. anyone knows of a sleek keyboard and mouse ? and if it works on ubuntu? mac keyboard being an alternative..?
[04:28] <tritium> Rian-Davide: you realize that ubuntu has Live CDs?
[04:28] <peacepipejv> Cpu
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: Linux is Ubuntu
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Or well, Ubuntu is Linux
[04:28] <peacepipejv> Cpudan80: i cant do it with sudao apt-get update only when sud -i
[04:28] <peacepipejv> sudo -i
[04:28] <Cpudan80> oh...
[04:28] <Cpudan80> weird
[04:29] <peacepipejv> anybody?
[04:29] <DrX> peacepipejv: thanks!
[04:29] <theacolyte> How would I go about fixing grub if I've installed Vista after Ubuntu? I thought it was easier than I'm finding it
[04:29] <scguy318> Cpudan80: Ubuntu is a Linux DISTRIBUTION ;)
[04:29] <peacepipejv> DrX: thanks for what
[04:29] <scguy318> Cpudan80: Linux is just a kernel
[04:30] <Cpudan80> scguy318: Right
[04:30] <Rian-Davide> http://www.linux-live.org/#
[04:30] <theacolyte> I have 2 disks
[04:30] <Rian-Davide> this is linux live people
[04:30] <Rian-Davide> so I can make my own live cd
[04:30] <Bruno_> !ssh
[04:30] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage.  Ive only heard rumours
[04:33] <tritium> ketrox: he should see the URL above, in that case
[04:33] <virtuososteve> does anyone know?
[04:34] <jamiejackso1> trying to get swiftfox, and checking cpu compatibility guide. however, i don't know what cpu i have. how do i find out?
[04:34] <tritium> Rian-Davide: please be courteous as well
[04:34] <amicrawler> i have to do this command all the time to get my nic to work
[04:34] <amicrawler> is there a way to disable wireless card so doesn not start up first thing
[04:34] <Pinpoint139> umm, can someone help me to get my external hard drive to work
[04:34] <amicrawler> what drive ?
[04:34] <amicrawler> usb firewire?
[04:34] <Pinpoint139> free agent 500 usb
[04:34] <Cpudan80> Rian-Davide: Perhaps if knew more about what you were trying to accopmlish
[04:34] <amicrawler> what format?
[04:34] <Rian-Davide> I know ubuntu is a live cd distro, but it doesnt come customized with all of the things I need installed on the live cd
[04:35] <rbil> amicrawler: do u want to have it setup so that nic is never used?
[04:35] <tritium> Rian-Davide: I just gave you a URL for customizing the ubuntu Live CD!!!
[04:35] <PirateHead> Rian-Davide: You could remaster the CD.
[04:35] <Pinpoint139> what do you mean by format
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> can you post it again?
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> please
[04:35] <amicrawler> yes very much so
[04:35] <tritium> Rian-Davide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:35] <Flannel> Rian-Davide: Ubuntu isn't a liveCD distro.  Its designed for installed use.  If you want a liveCD distro, theres a bunch of others much more suited for that application
[04:35] <CppIsWeird> ketrox: im trying to do what with the ubuntu live cd?
[04:35] <rbil> amicrawler: then u should be able to blacklist it
[04:35] <PirateHead> Rian-Davide: There are programs to help with that, and there was a good article explaining how to do it in a recent Linux Format magazine. :-)
[04:35] <Animortis> Can someone link me to a good article for sharing my printer between two 7.10 machines via a network? The wiki has an article that doesn't work, likely out-of-date.
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> thank you so much
[04:35] <amicrawler> i looked
[04:35] <amicrawler> its not
[04:35] <jamiejackso1> how do i find out what cpu i have?
[04:35] <Rian-Davide> Ive been asking for two days now and no one knew
[04:36] <tritium> !enter | amicrawler
[04:36] <ubotu> amicrawler: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:36] <amicrawler> Pin  was it made for windwos
[04:36] <Pinpoint139> yes
[04:36] <JJHathoway> is there reasoning why there aren't updated Ubuntu packages for some applications....example:  for Eclipse IDE (ubuntu only has packages for 3.2 and not the new 3.3)
[04:36] <cool> jamiejackso1, cat /etc/proc/cpu
[04:36] <peacepipejv> flannel, yes it is
[04:36] <amicrawler> was it made for win xp ?
[04:36] <Dr_willis> JJHathoway,  ubuntu normally updates stuff every 6 mo.
[04:36] <Pinpoint139> win xp as far as I know
[04:36] <tritium> JJHathoway: updates would be for security reasons between stable releases
[04:36] <PirateHead> JJHathoway: the Ubuntu packagers frequently lag behind on updating things; when a program is updated, expect to wait 6 months to a year before Ubuntu catches up.
[04:36] <amicrawler> so the file format is ntfs
[04:37] <peacepipejv> Flannel: since when is Ubuntu not a live cd distro
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> it is a seagate free agent
[04:37] <PirateHead> JJHathoway: Ubuntu is not a "cutting edge" distro; for that, you need to use something like Gentoo or Arch Linux.
[04:37] <Flannel> peacepipejv: No, its really not.  LiveCD is a 'try before you install'.
[04:37] <jamiejackso1> cool: that doesn't work. no file found
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> and yes it is ntfs
[04:37] <amicrawler> humm you should be able to format that with no issues
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> reformat it to fat then?
[04:37] <bruenig> JJHathoway, yeah if you want up to date software, you will want to find a different distro
[04:37] <amicrawler> humm
[04:37] <Pinpoint139> or can it still read ntfs
[04:37] <naelr> what is the driver disk talked about on the boot up of the live cd?
[04:37] <cool> jamiejackso1,ok my bad try this cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:38] <peacepipejv> Flannel: uh, yes i know. Every Ubuntu distro i have is a live cd distro
[04:38] <amicrawler> yeah you could do that
[04:38] <amicrawler> fat 32
[04:38] <Pinpoint139> but would it still read on windows xp though?
[04:38] <tovella> Animortis: you might take a look at screencasts.ubuntu.com where there is a screencast on "Connecting to Printers".
[04:38] <Bruno_> i cant change user passwords through the Users and Groups program
[04:38] <amicrawler> yes  fat 16 or 32  is native to windwos world and mac and linux
[04:38] <JJHathoway> well eclipse has a compiled new version for linux
[04:39] <jamiejackso1> thx, cool. swiftfox doesn't support my oldschool pentium 2
[04:39] <tritium> Bruno_: you can if you're logged in as a user with sudo priveleges
[04:39] <amicrawler> if the drive is bigger then 5gb  then fat 32
[04:39] <tritium> JJHathoway: updates would be for security reasons between stable releases
[04:39] <JJHathoway> i just like the fact that package mangager is simple for removals
[04:39] <jamiejackso1> i installed the new compiled eclipse
[04:39] <Animortis> tovella, Thanks, will look at it.
[04:39] <peacepipejv> Flannel: youre mistaken
[04:39] <jamiejackso1> happy so far, but dumb it's not in repos
[04:39] <bruenig> JJHathoway, get the source, or switch to a distro that stays up to date, those are your options, you are aware, now stop crying
[04:39] <santor> help, my resolution was changed to 640X480 and i can't change it back
[04:39] <Bruno_> tritium: im not, how can i just open that program as root?
[04:39] <santor> i went to system settings, it won't change
[04:39] <amicrawler> santo what card ?
[04:40] <Flannel> peacepipejv: Its not intended to be used primarily as a liveCD.  There are distros that are geared towards it, and do it much better.  No use trying to squeeze something into a niche its not designed for.  Yes, there are Ubuntu liveCDs, but that was always so you could try it before installing it, never as a selling point in and of itself.
[04:40] <santor> intel 945 i belive
[04:40] <cool> jamiejackso1, then use the normal version, Firefox
[04:40] <amicrawler> reload the driver
[04:40] <tritium> Bruno_: you cannot changes users passwords (other than your own) without sudo priveleges.
[04:40] <amicrawler> or reboot the computer
[04:40] <JJHathoway> bruenig: um, if you've seen my comments no one is crying, some are hear trying to understand the motives behind things
[04:40] <santor> i rebooted
[04:40] <santor> didnt' work
[04:40] <JJHathoway> *here
[04:40] <amicrawler> ok
[04:40] <jamiejackso1> cool: yup, am, wanted a faster alternative tho. ff gets slower and slower
[04:40] <linux88> Gahaha. Who else in here also loves the Internet?
[04:40] <amicrawler> reload the intel driver
[04:40] <santor> how do i do that
[04:41] <santor> i'm not really used to using linux with a gui
[04:41] <jamiejackso1> i hate the internet, i prefer mailing off for pamphlets and paper forms instead. ;-)
[04:41] <peacepipejv> Flannel: im not understanding then cuz i installed via live cd
[04:41] <santor> so i've never worried about display drivers
[04:41] <amicrawler> http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/07/26/installing-intel-815852855-graphics-controller-drivers-on-ubuntu-debian/
[04:41] <foso> hey guys, im trying to change the bg color of my splash screen, anyone know how?
[04:41] <amicrawler> the screen shot in the start ?
[04:42] <pigsfly> hello, if i write a shell script and use wait to wait for all my background processes to finish before exiting, if i prematurely terminate my shell script, what will happen to my background processes?
[04:42] <cool> jamiejackso1, well you can manually tweak firefox, type in 'about:config' without quotes in address bra
[04:42] <Bruno_> tritium: i opend it as sudo and i change it
[04:42] <peacepipejv> Flannel: when i dnldd from the ubuntu website i rcvd a live cd iso
[04:42] <tritium> Bruno_: good
[04:42] <Bruno_> tritium: when isee it again its back to something else
[04:42] <cool> jamiejackso1, oops sorry its bar not bra :p
[04:42] <Flannel> peacepipejv: Not saying Ubuntu doesn't have a liveCD.  But for people who use a liveCD as their sole install, there are better distros out there.  Ubuntu's liveCD is designed to show off ubuntu to people without requiring an install.
[04:42] <cool> hehe
[04:43] <amicrawler> rbil  do you have a sulution for the wif card
[04:43] <cool> lol
[04:43] <kryp> where do I put cgi's for them 2 work in php?
[04:43] <kkathman> when you gksudo nautilus, and set the permissions on a folder, then click on the button to apply to all the contents, why doesnt it change the files and folders?
[04:43] <rbil> amicrawler: blacklist it
[04:43] <amicrawler> what dothe black list do ?
[04:43] <Pinpoint139> is there a way in which I don't have to reformat my hard drive
[04:43] <peacepipejv> Flannel: the defualt dnld for ubuntu is live cd
[04:43] <amicrawler> yes
[04:43] <Flannel> peacepipejv: Yes it is.  Thats not the point
[04:43] <tritium> peacepipejv: you're missing his point.
[04:43] <foso> i changed the splash screen thing that shows things loading, but not the awful tan color
[04:43] <rbil> amicrawler: prevents loading of driver by kernel and that essentially makes it invisible to the system
[04:43] <amicrawler> load the ntfs driver from snaptic manger
[04:44] <peacepipejv> nevermind that
[04:44] <cool> kkathman, then you can also sudo chmod <permissions> <file name> in the terminal
[04:44] <peacepipejv> then
[04:44] <amicrawler> i see rbil
[04:44] <cool> !terminal | kkathman
[04:44] <ubotu> kkathman: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:44] <rbil> amicrawler: google for blacklist
[04:44] <kkathman> cool thats not my question I know you can do a chmod :)
[04:44] <amicrawler> i tried the tail grep  the wireless card nota
[04:45] <kkathman> cool Im really asking if this is a bug and needs to be reported
[04:45] <amicrawler> foso  goto gnome  and get a new splash screen there very small files and some are very cool
[04:45] <rbil> amicrawler: u essentially edit this file ... /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add a line like blacklist <device driver>
[04:46] <peacepipejv> anyway, sorry, im here for help
[04:46] <amicrawler> what do i look forthe wif driver
[04:46] <tuxman> does anyone know how to change a partition to have user priviledges
[04:46] <cool> kkathman, ok let me test ;)
[04:46] <amicrawler> it is intel
[04:46] <amicrawler> mac mini
[04:46] <foso> amicrawler - i have a new menu thing, showing the progress, but not the color behind it
[04:46] <tritium> !enter | amicrawler
[04:46] <foso> do you know how to do that?
[04:46] <ubotu> amicrawler: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:46] <tuxman> i have a /arc i use for all my media but i need root to access it
[04:46] <rbil> amicrawler: maybe it's i815 or somesuch? what does lspci tell you?
[04:46] <peacepipejv> i get a 111 error when i apt-get upgrade unless im logged in as root (sudo -i)
[04:47] <tuxman> chmod 777 /dev/sda4
[04:47] <peacepipejv> not upgrade, i mean update
[04:47] <tuxman> would that work
[04:47] <Rian-Davide> Hey everyone with this live cd customization can I add restricted drivers?
[04:47] <Pinpoint139> how do i do that
[04:47] <cthulfuego> tuxman: Well, that's not the way to go about it.
[04:47] <cthulfuego> tuxman: Better would be to mount it, then change permissions on the mount point.
[04:47] <peacepipejv> i get a 111 error when i apt-get update unless im logged in as root (sudo -i)
[04:47] <tuxman> if i mount the drive sudo mount /dev/sda4 /home/user/media
[04:48] <tritium> !repeat | peacepipejv
[04:48] <jughead> My screen went totally blank a couple of times and the keyboard was non-responsive.  I've had to do a total of 3 hard resets.  Is there a log or something I can look at to see what's going on?
[04:48] <cthulfuego> tuxman: if it's fat32 or NTFS that will not work either, you'll have to set mount options in that case.
[04:48] <ubotu> peacepipejv: 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
[04:48] <Pinpoint139> amicrawle how do i do that
[04:48] <tuxman> i can mount it their no problem and i can edit the fstab file later i just need to figure out how to get user access for that folder
[04:48] <linux88> Anyone know anything about encryption, or maybe can through a pretty good link this way?
[04:48] <amicrawler> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c (r                      ev 01)
[04:48] <amicrawler>
[04:48] <amicrawler>
[04:48] <amicrawler> thats what it tells me
[04:48] <cabrioleur> jughead, /var/log/*
[04:49] <Ademan_> hey, anyone know how to create a whitelist for ephiphany's popup blocker? i don't see it in preferences...
[04:49] <tuxman> amicralwer are you using ndiswrapper
[04:49] <ShakaGoldSaint> hi there, i just installed skype 2.0 beta for linux on ubuntu gutsy, but those widgets look really ugly, how can i make look better a qt4 app in a gnome enviroment?
[04:49] <amicrawler> no
[04:49] <tritium> amicrawler: don't paste here
[04:49] <peacepipejv> sorry, didnt mean to. I was just fisxing what i had posted
[04:49] <tuxman> oh
[04:49] <dominion> Hi, I'm trying to install vmware player from the repository. Searching for vmware doesn't list the player. Just the display driver, widgets, and mouse detection tool
[04:49] <peacepipejv> i was feeling ignored
[04:49] <amicrawler> tririum  ok  will do
[04:49] <peacepipejv> wasnt feeling ignored
[04:49] <Nimby> I still cant work out how to take ownership of a folder, I made it with windows and want to add some files to it in linux but it says I dont have rights I need to know how to take ownership etc please
[04:49] <crdlb> Ademan_: view>popup windows
[04:49] <tuxman> well you could try that their is a way to use windows wireless drivers .inf in ubuntu
[04:49] <fixed> what is that tool to create a livecd from ubuntu?
[04:49] <cool> kkathman, well it works for me
[04:50] <dominion> what would I search for to find the vmware player? "vmware" and "vmware player" don't seem to get results
[04:50] <tuxman> anyone get their powered by ubuntu stickers yet
[04:50] <rbil> amicrawler: hold on I'm looking
[04:50] <kkathman> cool what I did was to take a folder that had permissions set to root-root, and then open gksudo nautilus, right click on the folder, go to properties, then to permissions, set the permissions to local user, then click the "Apply permissions to enclosed files"   is that what you did ?
[04:50] <cool> tuxman we have been getting it since 6.10 :o
[04:51] <Pinpoint139> how do you get to synaptic manager
[04:51] <cabrioleur> dominion, you can download from their website. You can use qemu as well.
[04:51] <Ademan> gah, had two instances of x-chat open
[04:51] <rbil> amicrawler: this might do it for you ...      blacklist ath_pci
[04:51] <zloog420> Pinpoint: Menu -> System->administrator_>Synaptic package manager.
[04:52] <dominion> I have already downloaded the .tar and .rpm. but can't work out how to install them
[04:52] <rbil> amicrawler: after adding it to blacklist file, reboot computer
[04:52] <Pinpoint139> thank you
[04:52] <cabrioleur> Pinpoint139, "sudo synaptic"
[04:52] <cabrioleur> dominion, use alien
[04:52] <cool> kkathman, you changed the ownership or just access permissions?
[04:52] <amicrawler> ok rebooting
[04:52] <kkathman> cool both
[04:53] <cabrioleur> dominion, or unpack tarball and follow enclosed README file.
[04:53] <cool> kkathman, then it should work :o
[04:53] <kkathman> cool it doesnt
[04:53] <crdlb> !vmware | dominion
[04:53] <ubotu> dominion: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[04:54] <ehc> I am having trouble burning cds with k3b on amd64 7.04. the error I get is writer does not support buffer underrun free
[04:54] <difekta>  if i use dmix, it seems that only one user can have sound at once.  if i use esd, will that allow two users to both use sound at once?
[04:54] <dominion> ok... I'll have another search
[04:54] <theacolyte> Anyone have any idea at all why when I switched fonts, compiz fusion won't work (just the 7.10 desktop effects -- not my compiz stuff)
[04:54] <seak> usr13: u in chat with me?
[04:54] <cool> kkathman, i am not a expert in this field, do one thing one a answer ticket on launchpad  or a new thread on ubuntu forums, so that someone may look at it :)
[04:55] <crdlb> dominion: you need to enable multiverse
[04:55] <dominion> I couldn't find vmware player when I search synaptics for "vmware-player"
[04:55] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, any stderr?
[04:55] <Pinpoint139> so what do i need to read my external hard drive
[04:55] <Fujitsu> vmware-player is only in Ubuntu 7.04 and lower, dominion.
[04:55] <dominion> and there doesn't seem to be any readme. so I am stuck working out how to install from source
[04:55] <CM_> virtualbox is a good alternative to vmware
[04:55] <Hilikus> how do i specify a DPI for x? if gnome-settings-daemon is running it reports 100X100 dots per inch, but if its not it reports 75X75
[04:55] <kkathman> cool ok thanks - doing sudo chown and sudo chmod works fine
[04:55] <Nimby> I've installed PCMan file manager that lets me set the permissions very easily
[04:55] <Jordan_U_> ehc, You should still be able to force it to burn
[04:56] <dominion> oh... so how will I use synaptics to get it onto 7.10
[04:56] <sethk> dominion, vmware runs an o/s.  The programs that can be run depend on the o/s.
[04:56] <crdlb> dominion: System>Administration>Software Sources> Check "Multiverse"
[04:56] <theacolyte> cabrioleur: in x.log?
[04:56] <peacepipejv> theres some good stuff in the forums for virtualbox also
[04:56] <Nimby> but if I want everyone to be able to access a folder what would I put in for user / group ?
[04:56] <Fujitsu> Hilikus: System->Preferences->Appearance->Font->Details
[04:57] <slvmchn> virtualbox runs on ubuntu? can you run OSX in virtualbox?
[04:57] <cool> kkathman, thats what i said to you use at first reply :p
[04:57] <Hilikus> Fujitsu im not using gnome
[04:57] <sethk> Nimby, if you make it read/write for all, it makes no difference what user or group it's in
[04:57] <Pinpoint139> so how do I find the files to use for my seagate hard drive?
[04:57] <dominion> multiverse is already checked
[04:57] <amicrawler> rbil your my hero
[04:57] <peacepipejv> slvmchn: not yet i dont think, but soon maybe. Check the  virtualbox website
[04:57] <Fujitsu> dominion: It is not installable from Synaptic in Ubuntu 7.10 or later.
[04:57] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, in whatever you think is causing problems.
[04:57] <kkathman> cool lol - what Im saying is that there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the internals
[04:57] <zloog420> dominion: have you been messing with /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:57] <amicrawler> card not seen any more
[04:57] <kkathman> cool i.e. its a nautilus issue
[04:57] <Rian-Davide> Is there a ubuntu distro out there that comes with the restricted drivers preloaded?
[04:57] <theacolyte> cabrioleur: not that I can see.
[04:57] <Nimby> sethk it is set as root, they are windows folders and I need to stop them from being owner root
[04:57] <ehc> Can I burn an iso if my writer doesn't support DAO?
[04:57] <Rian-Davide> like linux mint?
[04:57] <rbil> amicrawler: amazing as I was taking a wild guess :-)
[04:57] <Fujitsu> Rian-Davide: No.
[04:58] <ehc> Jordan_U_, how can I force it to burn?
[04:58] <dominion> nope... i have a stock installation. except I installed compiz fusion
[04:58] <CM_> i used add/remove to find virtualbox
[04:58] <Rian-Davide> is there a website where people load their custom distros?
[04:58] <Pinpoint139> how do i search for a driver then?
[04:58] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, turn compiz off, and I'm 95% sure it will be fixed.
[04:58] <amicrawler> the freaking mac does weird thingd
[04:58] <sethk> Nimby, that's a separate question.  You can create a user/group for them, or use an existing one.  There is a user "nobody" that apache data files are owned by.
[04:58] <cool> kkathman, i will repeat same thing again "  i am not a expert in this field, do one thing one a answer ticket on launchpad  or a new thread on ubuntu forums, so that someone may look at it :)"
[04:58] <cool> :p
[04:58] <amicrawler> pin  just put in ntfs
[04:58] <sethk> Nimby, a user, and a group, is just a name.
[04:58] <theacolyte> cabrioleur: sure, if I didn't want it, the point is I want it to work
[04:58] <Jordan_U_> Rian-Davide, I know there is one for fedora "spins"
[04:58] <Pinpoint139> thank you
[04:58] <rbil> amicrawler: remember, if u need that nic in future, you'll need to remove that ine
[04:58] <Rian-Davide> ahh k
[04:58] <rbil> line
[04:59] <sethk> Nimby, you could create (or use) a user name "guest", if that makes sense.  Use something suggestive of how you want the files to be used.
[04:59] <amicrawler> rbil i hate wifi
[04:59] <Rian-Davide> I'll check out the fedore one
[04:59] <cabrioleur> theacolyte, just remember that compiz is beta. It's not stable. In some instances it will die with no regrets.
[04:59] <amicrawler> wifi is like a big black hole
[04:59] <Pinpoint139> it says it is installed though
[04:59] <zloog420> compiz is sexy tho
[04:59] <Nimby> I would have thought it being so security concious it would insist on the user/group actually being in the list of users/groups etc
[04:59] <Fujitsu> cabrioleur: Compiz is regarded as stable; that's why we have it by defualt.
[04:59] <amicrawler> did you gett all the ntfs
[05:00] <dominion> not so sexy on my integrated notebook graphic card :P
[05:00] <sethk> Nimby, no, actually, it doesn't.  However, it is of course better to use things defined
[05:00] <cabrioleur> Fujitsu, it's regarded, but it's not.
[05:00] <Fujitsu> dominion: Works fine on mine.
[05:00] <Pinpoint139> as far as i know
[05:00] <Jordan_U_> Rian-Davide, Watch out for things like "Ubuntu Ultimate" which is a dangerously put together POS
[05:00] <sethk> Nimby, otherwise you'll see numbers instead of names for user and group
[05:00] <amicrawler> i found 4 pkgs
[05:00] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, one could say the same for that minus the ultimate
[05:00] <usr13>  peacepipejv  You CAN access repos via terminal
[05:00] <Rian-Davide> lol Jordan
[05:00] <Fujitsu> bruenig: Could they now?
[05:00] <Pinpoint139> as did I
[05:00] <dominion> my laptop is pretty weak :)
[05:00] <crdlb> theacolyte: when you say "compiz fusion" what do you mean? did you install it manually or something?
[05:00] <amicrawler> and did you reboot ?
[05:01] <Rian-Davide> I tried tha ubuntu ultimate and it is a huge POS
[05:01] <peacepipejv> usr13: not me, unless Im logged in as sudo -i
[05:01] <theacolyte> crdlb: no, I use the 1click
[05:01] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, You could possibly argue that it is a "POS", but it's not dangerous
[05:01] <Pinpoint139> they were already installed though
[05:01] <peacepipejv> thats my problem
[05:01] <theacolyte> it was working
[05:01] <sethk> Nimby, some distros start user names at 1000, and some at 500, so if you cross mount among these distros, you'll see numbers instead of names at times.
[05:01] <theacolyte> before I changed the font size-- it's just weird
[05:01] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, how is ultimate "dangerous"
[05:01] <ehc> I am getting an error that my cd writer cannot burn DAO. So I try TAO and I get an error of  "probably a buffer underrun occured"
[05:01] <theacolyte> literally it was working for weeks
[05:01] <crdlb> theacolyte: the what?
[05:01] <theacolyte> font size.
[05:01] <cool> !wodim > cool
[05:01] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, Look at the update script
[05:01] <Undead_Zeu1> i have an *.x86 file, how do i execute/extract it?
[05:01] <cyborg> thank you all   ubuntu is very good
[05:01] <kasansweat> Can a wireless connection drop merely from inactivity (as opposed to a bad connection?)
[05:01] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, I don't have it off hand, perhaps you could give some synopsis
[05:02] <crdlb> theacolyte: what is "the 1click"?
[05:02] <Nimby> it insists on a password and I dont want a password at all, is there a way around that
[05:02] <amicrawler> my mac mini runs very fast with ubuntu on it only
[05:02] <peacepipejv> shold i see .synaptic when ls ~ -a?
[05:02] <bruenig> or a link
[05:02] <bruenig> peacepipejv, probably not
[05:02] <theacolyte> lol, I got it confused with suse for a second... synaptic
[05:02] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, It does apt-get --force *before the user has even been told the upgrade has started*
[05:02] <cool> cyborg, we too think so, thats why we are here, as we all aren't any paid employees  :)
[05:02] <rbil> kasansweat: shouldn't
[05:02] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, Not even a prompt
[05:03] <Undead_Zeu1> how do i execute/extract *.x86 or *.run files?
[05:03] <seak> need help with my wifi it is buildt into my laptop and i cannot get connected to any wireless internet or have the option too i have gusty 7.10
[05:03] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, oh this is some attempt at auto-update via cron or something which doesn't prompt?
[05:03] <Rian-Davide> I'll pay for someone to create a live cd for me lol
[05:03] <usr13> kasansweat: Depends on what's managing the network interfaces
[05:03] <usr13> Rian-Davide: What are you trying to do?
[05:03] <bruenig> seak, what card
[05:03] <cabrioleur> unbeatabl, go to terminal and type chmod +x nameofthefile.run, and then ./nameofthefile.run
[05:03] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, No, it's to install timidity to play music during the upgrade
[05:03] <usr13> Rian-Davide: WHat type of Live CD do you need?
[05:04] <Jordan_U_> bruenig, It's so stupid it's painfull
[05:04] <kasansweat> usr13: Hmm, interesting. would that be network-admin vs. command line? I'm trying to figure out why I have a wireless connection dropping.
[05:04] <Rian-Davide> all I want is a live cd that has drivers for my broadcom wireless card loaded, with a bit torrent client, flash etc. all I want is a live cd I can web browse with
[05:04] <cool> seak, whats your wifi card, check if its supported on linux, for this search on google with model name & linux as search keywords
[05:04] <cabrioleur> seak, are the drivers working correctly?
[05:04] <seak> i dont think i have drivers
[05:04] <Undead_Zeu1> how do i execute/extract a *.run file or a *.x86 file? It is a patch for enemy territory
[05:04] <Rian-Davide> Ive got a business laptop that I cant load ubuntu in
[05:04] <cthulfuego> sh ./foo.run
[05:04] <bruenig> Jordan_U_, it must be stupid because I am not sure it makes sense, are you saying it downloads timidity and plays music during an full fledged upgrade or normal updates or what?
[05:05] <usr13> kasansweat: Check to see what the signal looks like: iwconfig
[05:05] <seak> it is a  Atheros AR5006EG
[05:05] <cyborg> cool your ghost big and their who are similar to you
[05:05] <Rian-Davide> so I atleast want one I can use to do regular stuff
[05:05] <bulmer> Rian-Davide-> have you tried Damn Small Linux? maybe it has what you need?
[05:05] <Rian-Davide> will it work with my new laptop?
[05:05] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: There is always vmware :-)
[05:05] <madera> Hello everyone
[05:05] <cool> Rian-Davide, whats model no?, and why so?
[05:05] <Rian-Davide> ITs an hp laptop
[05:05] <madera> How can I do a surface scan on my disk?
[05:05] <kasansweat> usr13: That's what's odd. I get 100% signal strength
[05:05] <cthulfuego> madera: `badblocks'.
[05:06] <madera> cthulfuego: checking, thanks
[05:06] <cabrioleur> seak, open terminal, type "sudo lspci | grep net", and it will tell you what netcard you have.
[05:06] <usr13> kasansweat: What makes  you think that the wireless connection gets "dropped"?
[05:06] <bruenig> Rian-Davide, hp doesn't really tell us much
[05:06] <Rian-Davide> Ive got a broadcom wireless modem and a nvidia graphics card
[05:06] <bruenig> broadcom is annoying
[05:06] <Rian-Davide> its an hp pavilion dv2615nr
[05:06] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: Customising a livecd isn't very hard, but it is easiest to do from a Linux system.
[05:06] <bruenig> nvidia shouldn't be a problem, although there are some cards that aren't supported, the vast majority are
[05:06] <Rian-Davide> really?
[05:07] <Rian-Davide> how do you do it?
[05:07] <seak> cabrioleur:  Atheros AR5006EG
[05:07] <kasansweat> usr13: I use that pc as an always on server. It loses its connection.
[05:07] <graelin> where can I find session configurations?
[05:07] <seak> cabrioleur: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[05:07] <Nimby> this is really annoying its such a simple thing I want to do and its like trying to learn rocket science
[05:07] <usr13> kasansweat: Could you re-phrase that?
[05:07] <cool> madera, use fsck, btw linux kernel automatically force checks it, when it completes 30 boots
[05:07] <kasansweat> usr13: as in I can't ssh to it, if I go upstairs and try to ping the router, it doesn't, etc. etc.
[05:07] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: Yeah, you basically unpack the compressed filesystem to a disk, loopback mount it, install and/or remove stuff, then recompress and burn.
[05:07] <Rian-Davide> Ive looked at some of the work you have to put into it, I really dont understant alot of the code to open the live cd or how to put what I want into it
[05:07] <wasabi_> i like kopete better than pidgin. i'm running it in gnome right now and the fonts are huge. how do i adjust the kde's ui font size?
[05:07] <madera> cool: thx, but i need a surface scan
[05:07] <usr13> kasansweat: Is it a desktop PC or a laptop?
[05:08] <Rian-Davide> how do I add stuff to it?
[05:08] <kasansweat> usr13: Sorry, lets try that again. Let's call the server/computer/upstairs pc leonard - Leonard is a desktop with a wireless card
[05:08] <cthulfuego> http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/12/remaster-and-customize-ubuntu-cd-with-reconstructor.html
[05:08] <bruenig> Nimby, physics isn't too hard, especially rocket science which is basically newtonian stuff, now quantum would be hard
[05:08] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: Have a look at that url.
[05:08] <Rian-Davide> thanks so much
[05:08] <difekta> can someone please tell me how to set up esd for multiple users, so that more than one user can have sound at a time?
[05:08] <cool> !fsck > madera
[05:09] <Rian-Davide> this looks promising
[05:09] <Nimby> bruenig but giving myself rights to folders I created on my own system with windows is impossible :)
[05:09] <cthulfuego> Rian-Davide: np
[05:09]  * madera thinks ubuntu will give Microsoft some headaches
[05:09] <bruenig> Nimby, what are you doing?
[05:09] <cabrioleur> seak, looks like you will have to install ndiswrapper
[05:09] <madera> cool: are you implying that fsck does hardware tests? I dont think so
[05:09] <Rian-Davide> thanks sooooooooooooooooo much!!!!
[05:09] <kasansweat> usr13: I've done this setup before, with an old laptop..connection stayed up forever, no problem. I used it as a fileserver and ran sshfs through it, everything was cool. Am trying to recreate that, but it appears as if Leonard is dropping the connection.
[05:09] <Undead_Zeu1> sh et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
[05:09] <Undead_Zeu1> sh: Can't open et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
[05:09] <Undead_Zeu1> What is the problem here?
[05:10] <JohnMM> the only hardware test fsck does is a filesystem check
[05:10] <Rian-Davide> someone told me this reconstructor wasnt for gutsy gibbon
[05:10] <amicrawler> chmod the file
[05:10] <cthulfuego> madera: if you want to run hardware checks, use smartctl.
[05:10] <Nimby> bruenig I am trying to allow myself to write to folders on hd's made with windows on dual boot pc
[05:10] <amicrawler> undead do a chmod a+rx and file
[05:10] <cool> madera, what did you mean by hardware tests, i didn't get you :S
[05:10] <usr13> kasansweat: What OS is on it?
[05:10] <Undead_Zeu1> ok
[05:10] <Undead_Zeu1> thanks amicrawler
[05:10] <amicrawler> then try again
[05:10] <bruenig> Nimby, are you using ntfs-3g?
[05:10] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, the file isn't in the current directory, or it isn't readable by the current user
[05:10] <madera> cthulfuego: I'm running badblocks now... its going nuts
[05:10] <kasansweat> usr13: Ubuntu
[05:10] <cool> madera, fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer
[05:10] <sethk> amicrawler, that's not necessary for the sh filename   form
[05:10] <usr13> kasansweat: What OS is on lenoard
[05:11] <sethk> amicrawler, the chmod +x is only necessary to run a script without specifying the script interpreter
[05:11] <graelin> where can I find session configuration files?
[05:11] <bruenig> cool, I thought it was FilesyStem cheCKer
[05:11] <amicrawler> oh ok
[05:11] <Undead_Zeu1> well that didn't work either
[05:11] <amicrawler> i'v all ways used it
[05:11] <Nimby> bruenig is that the ntfs config tool ?
[05:11] <cthulfuego> madera: Not running it on a mounted fs, right?
[05:11] <madera> cool: Im afraid I dont need to check the filesystem, rather the surface of the disk. Google for Surface scan ;-)
[05:11] <Undead_Zeu1> i also have two *.x86 files to substitute this *.run file
[05:11] <madera> cthulfuego: no :)
[05:11] <Undead_Zeu1> how do i use those to patch what i am patching?
[05:11] <kasansweat> usr13: ubuntu is on leonard. and everything else I use that touches the net. No other os's here to speak of.
[05:11] <bruenig> Nimby, ntfs-config tool is some POS python front end, don't trust POS ubuntu python front ends, use them for convenience but understand what they are "supposed" to be doing
[05:11] <bruenig> Nimby, pastebin /etc/fstab
[05:11] <usr13> kasansweat: Is lenard set to static IP
[05:12] <sethk> amicrawler, it doesn't hurt to do the chmod +x, but, if you preceed the script name by "sh", it has absolutely no effect.  The +x allows you to run the script as xyz, rather than sh xyz
[05:12] <amicrawler> undead try  sudo chmod a+rx and file
[05:12] <Parsi> hi
[05:12] <amicrawler> ok
[05:12] <Rian-Davide> Thank you everyone for the help and info tonight
[05:12] <cool> madera, yes ok i miss understood you :)
[05:12] <Rian-Davide> youve been great
[05:12] <kasansweat> usr13: No, but I've set my router to give it the same address every time
[05:12] <bruenig> sh links to dash anyways, you probably should use bash
[05:12] <scguy318> bruenig: like Envy :P
[05:12] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, in unix/linux, the name of the file does not indicate what type of file it is.  There is a command, "file", which you can use to determine what the file type is.
[05:12] <madera> =o)
[05:13] <Undead_Zeu1> what is the syntax of chmod?
[05:13] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, a .bin is typically a binary executable, but it could be a shell script.
[05:13] <Undead_Zeu1> Oh, sethk.. i will do that
[05:13] <scguy318> Undead_Zeu1: chmod octalpermor+-permchar /path/tofile
[05:13] <madera> thx all, I'll continue watching The Ultimate Fighter now while my server is being installed =o)
[05:13] <scguy318> Undead_Zeu1: like chmod 777 myfile
[05:13] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, chmod sets permissions for owner (u, or user), group (g), and other (a, for all)
[05:13] <cool> !chmod | Undead_Zeu1
[05:13] <ubotu> Undead_Zeu1: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[05:13] <scguy318> Undead_Zeu1: or chmod +rwx myfile
[05:13] <Parsi> i downloaded a .gz packe, it contains two files "cube_unix" and "autoexec.cfg" and some folders. how do i must install it?
[05:13] <cabrioleur> Undead_Zeu1, man chmod :-)
[05:14] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, so,    chmod a+rw filename    sets filename to be read/write for all users
[05:14] <seak> usr13: hey will u help me with my wifi?
[05:14] <nerve> is selinux enabled by default in ubuntu?
[05:14] <bruenig> the octal perm is actually 4 digits wide, 0777
[05:14] <nerve> and if so, is there a way to check if its currently on?
[05:14] <sethk> Undead_Zeu1, chmod +x    is shorthand for    chmod u+x
[05:14] <Nimby> bruenig I ran it and set write permissions and now I can access the folders, thanks for taking the time to reply :-)
[05:14] <bruenig> sethk, +x is short for a+x and short for ugo+x
[05:14] <bruenig> sethk, u+x is just user
[05:14] <sethk> bruenig, right
[05:15] <Parsi> i downloaded a .gz package, it contains two files "cube_unix" and "autoexec.cfg" and some folders. how do i must install it?
[05:15] <bruenig> Nimby, I didn't really do anything but alright
[05:15] <sethk> bruenig, got my u and a crossed there  :)
[05:15] <Undead_Zeu1> what is the linux name for chdir/ch?
[05:15] <bruenig> Undead_Zeu1, cd
[05:15] <Undead_Zeu1> Ar, that was it! Thank you
[05:15] <amicrawler> undead  the .run or .sh are nomaly run in the shell
[05:16] <Undead_Zeu1> well it didn't work, but sh file.run did
[05:16] <amicrawler> sethk  to run a binary  do i do a ./example
[05:16] <usr13> seak: Yes
[05:16] <sethk> amicrawler, the filename has no semantic significance.  You don't know what type of file it is unless you use the "file" command, or if it's a script you look at the beginning of it.
[05:16] <ToddEDM> whats the command to get the advanced desktop config
[05:16] <cool> Undead_Zeu1, might be helpful to you http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l6/lesson6b.html
[05:16] <usr13> seak: iwconfig
[05:17] <sethk> amicrawler, and, NO, you do ./filename  to run ANY command.  That's the whole point of the original UNIX; you aren't supposed to have to care about whether it's a program, a script, etc.
[05:17] <sethk> The syntax is consistent regardless of the underlying mechanism
[05:18] <lee_> can somebody help me? when I boot linux all the scsi drives seem to randomly get a different device label and then mount in different places
[05:18] <amicrawler> humm my 1st OS  i ran was unix freebsd 4.3
[05:18] <Nimby> bruenig I make a point of letting people that the help they gave, no matter how small made a difference, nothing worse than not knowing if you were wasting your time or not :)
[05:18] <paradigm9x> Has anyone been able to obtain a copy of the old BitchX script, crackrock?
[05:18] <paradigm9x> i cannot seem to find it online
[05:18] <amicrawler> where there was a mount /mount systemstand
[05:18] <Parsi> any one has installed "cube" game?
[05:18] <bruenig> Nimby, there is worse, this is worse actually: http://pastebin.ca/743667
[05:19] <cool> lee_, are you using uuid ?
[05:19] <lockd> Parsi: cube as in sauerbraten?
[05:19] <amicrawler> or to add files was pkg_add and example
[05:19] <cabrioleur> Parsi, I think cube is an engine
[05:19] <cool> !uuid > lee_
[05:19] <lee_> cool, how can I tell
[05:19] <Parsi> yes
[05:19] <Parsi> how to install?
[05:19] <Parsi> there is 2 files
[05:19] <lee_> I am using gutsy
[05:19] <Parsi> and some folders
[05:19] <cool> lee_, check pm from ubotu
[05:20] <lockd> Parsi: can you run it first?
[05:20] <srid> how do I make the gnome 'cpu freq scalling monitor applet' set power schemes like 'ondemand'?
[05:20] <Parsi> i can't do enything!
[05:20] <amicrawler> sethk  but i like linux better  then bsd free
[05:20] <lockd> Parsi: what files?
[05:20] <Parsi> *anything!
[05:20] <amicrawler> and the .deb files
[05:20] <amicrawler> pkg
[05:20] <Parsi> lockd: cube_unix
[05:20] <lee_> http://pastebin.com/m154f8c9e
[05:20] <lockd> Parsi: and?
[05:20] <Parsi> file lists: autoexec.cfg  cube_unix  demos  packages     savegames
[05:20] <Parsi> bin_unix      data       docs   readme.html  screenshots
[05:21] <lockd> Parsi: you said 2 files
[05:21] <Parsi> yes
[05:21] <Parsi> and folders
[05:21] <cthulfuego> How about looking at readme.html?
[05:21] <peacepipejv> help, cant update repos unless logged in as sudo -i (err 111 connection refused)
[05:21] <cthulfuego> or the contents of docs/ ?
[05:21] <Parsi> lockd: these was files and folders.
[05:21] <lee_> ubotu: did you get that
[05:21] <lockd> Parsi: well, try to chmod a+x cube_unix and then ./cube_unix
[05:21] <Parsi> lockd: config.html  editing.html  editref.html  game.html  history.html  pics
[05:22] <Fujitsu> paradigm9x: Please don't use BitchX; we've tried to get it removed, but can't, due to huge security holes.
[05:22] <cthulfuego> Parsi: Open and read the files, don'
[05:22] <cthulfuego> t paste their names here.
[05:22] <Parsi> cube_unix is a file
[05:22] <Nimby> LOL, bruenig I think this applies to more than just software and users :) ---- “Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.”
[05:22] <cool> !ubotu> lee_
[05:22] <cabrioleur> lee_, if it's built-in hd, change fstab file, and if not, right click on the disc icon and change the mount point to the name you desire.
[05:22] <paradigm9x> Fujitsu: really?  I did not know this.  What do you recommend?
[05:22] <Parsi> guys, am new to ubuntu
[05:22] <Fujitsu> paradigm9x: irssi is the recommended replacement.
[05:22] <lockd> Parsi: yes, is it a program?
[05:23] <Parsi> yes
[05:23] <cool> lee_, ubotu is a bot perhaps
[05:23] <difekta> how can i allow multiple users to play sound at once?
[05:23] <sethk> he's gone!!  My cool answer is wasted !!!  :)
[05:23] <lee_> oh ok
[05:23] <lockd> cool: ubotu is a bot certainly
[05:23] <lee_> cab: they are permanent drives they only started doing this since I installed gibson
[05:23] <cabrioleur> difekta, invest in polypaudio
[05:24] <difekta> not pulseaudio?
[05:24] <sethk> Nimby, no, you guys are missing the point.   See "The UNIX Programming Environment" by Kernigan and Pike.  (I'm spelling Kernigan wrong but you'll find it anyway.)
[05:24] <cabrioleur> It used to be polyp :-) sorry. nostalgia...
[05:24] <lee_> cool, I think I am using uuid
[05:24] <sethk> Nimby, has absolutely nothing to do with idiots, pro or con.  UNIX (and its clone, LINUX) was designed as a programming environment.  It's only accidentally used as an O/S.
[05:24] <Nimby> sethk I was replying to an example bruenig had sent me
[05:25] <difekta> what is polyaudio?
[05:25] <ShakaGoldSaint> hi there, i'm trying to install the fglrx 8.43 driver in ubuntu gusty, but after i installed it i get this message "libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file" when i run fglrxinfo or glxinfo and i can't get 3d to work
[05:25] <sethk> Nimby, oh, ok, sorry  :)
[05:25] <paradigm9x> its a great programming environment
[05:25] <cabrioleur> difekta, polypaudio = pulseaudio
[05:25] <sethk> paradigm9x, absolutely
[05:25] <difekta> ah!
[05:25] <Nimby> its when your parrot gets a iPod for christmas
[05:25] <Fujitsu> ShakaGoldSaint: We can't support you if you've done things like that.
[05:25] <sethk> paradigm9x, it also turned out to run 4x the speed of the original O/S on the pdp11
[05:26] <cool> lee_,  blkid just list your uuid's, it does not mean you are using them, to use them edit your /etc/fstab :)
[05:26] <ShakaGoldSaint> Fujitsu, i see
[05:26] <difekta> is pulseaudio relatively easy to set up?
[05:26] <difekta> i'm installing the package right now.
[05:26] <sethk> those of you who have never been subjected to DEC operating systems can't totally appreciate unix.  Windows is bad (and M$ hired a lot of the people who developed VMS for DEC), but not nearly as bad.  :)
[05:26] <lee_> cool, so I should use uuid in place of the device name
[05:27] <shenron> hey I'm having some wifi driver issues with my new Acer Aspire 5520
[05:27] <shenron> it is an atheros card, and all of the kernel modules are running, but iwconfig says that there are no wifi interfaces
[05:27] <cthulfuego> sethk: I had some war stories, but I dunno if they're in WARSTORY.TXT;1 or WARSTORY.TXT;1632 or in between :-P
[05:27] <cool> lee_, yes and comment the device by putting # unfront of it
[05:28] <lee_> ok kool
[05:28] <cool> lee_, so that you remember which device it is
[05:28] <hdevalence> how would I go about recovering a deleted file?
[05:28] <bulmer> sethk-> did digital have their own punch card machines?
[05:28] <lee_> example would be "442aeed4-e60f-4ec2-a299-4cfda0ed85ee /mnt ext3 rw"
[05:28] <sethk> cthulfuego, a recruiter asked me today if I know anything about Pick O/S.  I lied and said no.  :)  (Pick originated that versioning scheme, so helpfully adopted by DEC.)  :)
[05:28] <dfeeser> this looks just about the same.
[05:28] <sethk> bulmer, I don't believe so, no.
[05:29] <shenron> ath_pci, wlan, and ath_hal are loaded (says lsmod), but iwconfig says that both lo and eth2 have no wireless extensions
[05:29]  * cthulfuego stabs VMS until it's very very dead
[05:29] <shenron> its got me a bit confused
[05:29] <sethk> bulmer, Every punch card machine I ever used was IBM.  Man those were actually very impressive mechanical beasts.  Thank god we don't have to use them anymore ...
[05:29] <lee_> cool, putting the comment won't be useful since the device name keeps changing ;P
[05:29] <bulmer> sethk or drop the cards :)
[05:29] <ppmi> Hello Everyone!
[05:29] <shenron> anyone have any ideas?
[05:30] <sethk> bulmer, you take a magic marker and draw a diagonal line on the stack of cards, so you can get them back in order.  :)
[05:30] <ppmi> Can anyone tell me that how can i enable DMA for my SATA Hard Drive?
[05:30] <bulmer> sethk ahh there's a trick i have not experienced..hehe
[05:30] <sethk> ppmi, hdparm does it for IDE drives.  I believe it can be used with SATA also, but I'm not certain.
[05:30] <lee_> thanks cool
[05:31] <ppmi> sethk, Hmm
[05:31] <ppmi> Can anyone else tell me about DMA for SATA?
[05:31] <difekta> anyone know how to set up pulseaudio?
[05:32] <difekta> the wiki page on it is empty, even though it has a cached google version.
[05:32] <shenron> does anyone have any ideas about my wifi card
[05:33] <dominion_> can someone please send me the link for the guide on installing from source. I was using one earlier from the ubuntu support site, but can't find it now
[05:33] <bulmer> shenron-> is it detected by the network manager?
[05:33] <shenron> no
[05:33] <shenron> just wired and modem connections
[05:34] <bulmer> iwconfig -a shows it?
[05:34] <shenron> -a says -a No such device
[05:34] <bulmer> rather iwconfig
[05:34] <shenron> but, iwconfig says
[05:34] <shenron> eth2 no wireless extensions
[05:34] <shenron> it says the same for lo
[05:35] <shenron> I'm sure it has wifi, it was working fine in windows
[05:35] <bulmer> which chip does your wifi have?
[05:35] <shenron> 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[05:36] <riotkittie> anyone know offhand what samba's default port is?
[05:36] <bulmer> does the driver name for it appears in /proc/driver?
[05:36] <stephen> hmmmm
[05:36] <shenron> actually /proc/driver is empty
[05:36] <shenron> oh
[05:36] <shenron> stupid me
[05:37] <tarsin> i am trying to use make menuconfig with my kernel. it is failing with scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:32:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory.  I've installed libncurses5.  any ideas why its failing?
[05:37] <shenron> nvidia  rtc  snd-page-alloc
[05:37] <shenron> thats whats in the directory
[05:37] <Ramphis> Good evening.
[05:37] <dominion_> what do I do with a .pl file?
[05:37] <bulmer> i expect your wifi driver to appear on that directory
[05:37] <Ashfire908> pl is perl i think
[05:37] <bulmer> driver name configs rather
[05:37] <cthulfuego> tarsin: You need libncurses5-dev
[05:37] <riotkittie> tarsin: did you install libncurses5-dev?  [or whatever[
[05:37] <Ramphis> I need help please
[05:37] <riotkittie> oh im slow.
[05:38] <cthulfuego> slooow lazy kitty
[05:38] <tarsin> cthulfuego, riotkittie, thanks. not sure.. i will check now
[05:38] <dominion_> has anyone installed vmware player from source? I have unpacked it.. but can't get any further
[05:38] <cthulfuego> dominion_: perl foo.pl
[05:38] <sethk> tarsin, you have to install the development part of ncurses.
[05:38] <peacepipejv> hey, found a bunch of these in my sources list. (# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:) Does it seem weird? Has anyone seen this?
[05:38] <cthulfuego> dominion_: sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[05:38] <shenron> well, why isn't it there bulmer
[05:38] <digin4> strange, the default nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers manager gives me a lot of bugs
[05:38] <sethk> tarsin, search for curses in synaptic, and install the stuff with -dev in the name
[05:39] <Ramphis> I installed Compiz and it's working ok, but my ethernet stopped and i cannot connect to inet anymore :S and I dont know why :S ...
[05:39] <cthulfuego> dominion_: Btw, the player is packaged in Ubuntu.
[05:39] <tarsin> excellent.. it works now. thanks
[05:39] <digin4> it isntalls nvidia-glx-new, i had to install nvidia-glx manually to fix that!
[05:39] <sethk> digin4, and at no extra charge, too
[05:39] <yurimxpxman> is there an option in apache to not log requests from localhost or your own public IP address?
[05:39] <digin4> sethk, haha that's the greatest thing ;)
[05:39] <dominion_> that's what someone else said. but they also said it was for 7.04 and below
[05:39] <bulmer> shenron i dont know,  anything also shows in  /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/  ?
[05:39] <digin4> dominion, I'm using 7.10
[05:39] <foso> anyone know how to change the bg color for the splash screen?
[05:39] <b1n42y> hi all, getting rid of ubuntu from laptop...installing Xp tablet version ...grub still loads with error 17 ....
[05:40] <digin4> dominion, i guess it happens only with hp laptops and nvidia go cards
[05:40] <Ramphis> foso in the screen options
[05:40] <dominion_> digin4: did you install it from the repository?
[05:40] <shenron> ya there's tons of stuff in that directory bulmer, but its incomprehesible
[05:40] <cabrioleur> shenron, use ndiswrapper with this card.
[05:40] <b1n42y> i cant get into winblows or ubuntu any ideas ?
[05:40] <shenron> cabrioleur, it should ahve linux drivers though
[05:40] <digin4> dominion_, yeah using synaptic
[05:40] <shenron> since its atheros
[05:40] <foso> ramphis where is that?
[05:40] <paradigm9x> b1n42y - from DOS, format /mbr should erase the Master Boot Record
[05:40] <dominion_> digin4: I tried searching with diff terms in synaptics and nothing came up
[05:41] <bulmer> shenron-> look for the driver that matches your chips and should appear on that dir
[05:41] <sethk> paradigm9x, fdisk /mbr, not format /mbr
[05:41] <imbecile> anyone have any idea where to get awn for gutsy?
[05:41] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: and how do i get into dos
[05:41] <digin4> dominion_, you're facing the same problem?
[05:41] <paradigm9x> ack yes. my apologies
[05:41] <cabrioleur> shenron, yeah, it does have mad, but afaik it has problems with your card.
[05:41] <paradigm9x> b1n42y - Do you have a boot disc or boot CD?
[05:41] <shenron> oh :/
[05:41] <sethk> paradigm9x, actually, I should apologise for getting a dos command right  :)
[05:42] <Ramphis> Foso nearby your administration tools at the top bar
[05:42] <Ramphis> seach for it
[05:42] <Ramphis> I installed Compiz and it's working ok, but my ethernet stopped and i cannot connect to inet anymore :S and I dont know why :S ...
[05:42] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: i have one of those preinstalled systems in a hidden partition with a recovery cd
[05:42] <shenron> cabrioleur, atheros says it is supported
[05:42] <shenron> for this chip
[05:42] <foso> ramphis- sorry, i dont see it
[05:43] <Ramphis> hmm... weird
[05:44] <Ramphis> Who knows about why my ethernet is not working? :S
[05:44] <Ramphis> I'm confused :S I dont want to use Windows anymore!!
[05:44] <cabrioleur> shenron, then make sure you have madwifi installed.
[05:44] <foso> ive tried all the gui things i can find, i cant find it in any config files either
[05:44] <paradigm9x> b1n42y: are you able to get into the Grub menu?
[05:45] <imbecile> anyone have any idea where to get awn for gutsy?
[05:45] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: ney

[05:50] <Moniker43> hey, how do i increase the resolution of the console i get when i press ctrl-alt-f1?
[05:50] <riotkittie> usser: ha. i stopped being lazy and googled a sec before you answered but thank youuuuu :)
[05:50] <cabrioleur> Ramphis, Compiz has 0.1 % to do with internet. check your setup.
[05:51] <peacepipejv> anybody know anything about this. After  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list i get this before list opens up. (gedit:10953): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[05:51] <peacepipejv> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[05:51] <Ramphis> Cabrioleur, but it was ok :S but from day to night it stopped working :S and i dont know why
[05:51] <cabrioleur> Moniker43, fb option in grub/lilo.
[05:51] <usser> riotkittie: :) no problem

[05:51] <cabrioleur> Ramphis, is it trying to connect at all. connects, but no traffic?
[05:52] <joules> ... hey guys any way to remove disks from my desktop without unmounting?
[05:52] <Ramphis> no traffic :S
[05:52] <Ramphis> You're right
[05:52] <Cryx> Anyone using Cisco vpnclient for linux here? I have it on my system and i have huge problems with timeout part of the configuration file. If i change it with nano, it just ignores the changes on next vpnclient connect
[05:52] <cabrioleur> joules, pull the cable...
[05:52] <Jordan_U_> joules, I think there is a gconf setting for it in nautilus
[05:52] <joules> cabrioleur: ha funny :-P
[05:53] <Ramphis> My router is a speedtouch 536
[05:53] <kazim59> Is there something simple as gedit (not bloated like ooffice) and supports elementary formatting too?
[05:54] <digin4> Jordan_U_, it's opening as a black window :o
[05:54] <ubuntu234> thoughts on boost?
[05:54] <square[]> Jordan_U_, thanks, i guess i had xscreensaver installed over gnome-screensaver on my feisty install. i know how to edit the the actual files, but i wanted a gui to preview... thanks!
[05:54] <digin4> Jordan_U_, actually everything is opening as a black window dunno why

[05:54] <Jordan_U_> digin4, Nvidia card?
[05:55] <digin4> Jordan_U_, yes
[05:55] <Jordan_U_> digin4, Known bug that's been in nvidia's drivers for a long time
[05:55] <digin4> Jordan_U_, any fix for it?
[05:55] <crdlb> it's "fixed" in nvidia-glx-new :/
[05:55] <cabrioleur> Ramphis, answer question first. Is it connecting to the gate? or maybe it just does not download anything? or something else? explain your question.
[05:55] <Ramphis> Ok
[05:55] <digin4> crdlb, nvidia-glx-new gives me lots of bugs...
[05:56] <crdlb> digin4: what exact model do you have?
[05:56] <Jordan_U_> digin4, There is a workaround that makes compiz slower, can't remember it though
[05:56] <digin4> crdlb, go 7200
[05:56] <cabrioleur> digin4, you should see how many bugs the original drivers will give you...
[05:56] <cabrioleur> :-)
[05:56] <Jordan_U_> digin4, Proprietary drivers FTL :(
[05:56] <peacepipejv> help, no user access to repos
[05:56] <digin4> Jordan_U_, true :(
[05:56] <Jordan_U_> peacepipejv, No access in what way? What problem are you having exactly?
[05:57] <digin4> cabrioleur, can't find a guide for installing original drivers on 7.10
[05:57] <cabrioleur> turn off X's and run the script :-)
[05:57] <cabrioleur> NVidia drivers are sweeeeet. But ubuntu hates them.
[05:57] <Ramphis> First of all, my router is a SpeedTouch 536, I was using my ethernet as normal till one day I work on Ubuntu and when I open the explorer it doesnt get into any website. The yellow light flicks as normal :S but not answer, no packets at all from the router. What do you mean with the gate?
[05:57] <digin4> cabrioleur, heh okay ;P
[05:57] <joules> Jordan_U_:  hey thanks that works! .. i think
[05:58] <peacepipejv> Jordan_U: cant update as sudo, only as root (sudo -i)
[05:58] <Jordan_U_> peacepipejv, What happens when you try to update with sudo?
[05:59] <peacepipejv> Jordan: err 111 connection refused
[05:59] <cabrioleur> I lost my last cigarette! Help!
[05:59] <weltschmerz> how do i configure my sound settings to use pulseaudio?
[05:59] <Jordan_U_> peacepipejv, If this is a company computer you may have a sysadmin who thinks he's clever by restricting access to apt-get but should be slapped for allowing access to bash as root :)
[06:00] <peacepipejv> Jordan_U- its not
[06:00] <Jordan_U_> weltschmerz, There is a page on the pulseaudio site that describes "the perfect setup"
[06:00] <aoeuid> does anyone here what I could use to do real time equalizer magic on the audio coming out of my speakers? (eg remove all frequencies from 122-123 Hz?)
[06:00] <aoeuid> <<
[06:01] <ubuntu234> Does anyone here know the prefered location for the C++ boost libraries on ubuntu linux?
[06:01] <Ramphis> Carbrioleur, what can I do?  Go to your user configuration wizard-like-gui and check if you have permission to mess with apt.
[06:01] <Ramphis> I cannot live with an OS without inet !! :S at all
[06:01] <b1n42y> paradigm9x: nevermind..i found an illegal copy of winblows .got to the recovery console ...fixmbr ....and its looking good so far ...waiting for 1st reboot
[06:01] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: whats your problem :)
[06:02] <Ramphis> Ubuntu234 ... my ethernet, i mean :S Ubuntu doesn't get my router :S
[06:02] <Jordan_U_> b1n42y, Just so you know you don't need to break the law to restore a windows MBR :)
[06:02] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: alright, do you have access to that machine while you are speaking here?
[06:02] <Ramphis> and the yellow light flicks as normal as it is connected, but ubuntu doesnt recieve any package from it
[06:02] <Jordan_U_> Ramphis, can you pastebin the output of "sudo dhclient eth0"
[06:02] <Jordan_U_> ?
[06:02] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: you will need to open a terminal, look in accessories
[06:03] <Ramphis> No sir :S, i dont have access to internet while im on ubuntu
[06:03] <peacepipejv> cabrioleur: I should have adm priveleges
[06:03] <ubuntu234> Ramphis: alright can you get at that machine right now?
[06:03] <Ramphis> Ok, i will paste the steps to a note, and i will do it and then i will inform you
[06:03] <Jordan_U_> Ramphis, You can save it and paste it after rebooting
[06:03] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: pitty u werent hear earlier
[06:03] <ubuntu234> If so please do as Jordan_U_ requested :)
[06:03] <b1n42y> here*
[06:04] <Ramphis> yup, i know... so what should i do in the terminal?
[06:04] <ubuntu234> (01:02:43 AM) Jordan_U_: Ramphis, can you pastebin the output of "sudo dhclient eth0"
[06:04] <Ramphis> Ok BRB
[06:04] <ubuntu234> (without quotes)
[06:04] <Jordan_U_> b1n42y, The package is "ms-sys" for future reference
[06:04] <peacepipejv> cabrioleur: how would ZI check apt permission
[06:04] <ubuntu234> alright anyone here has a clue on where boost should go on ubuntu?
[06:05] <Jordan_U_> ubuntu234, What are you trying to do?
[06:05] <tarsin> lynx okcupid
[06:05] <tarsin> woot mistype
[06:05] <tarsin> haha
[06:05] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: i deleted ubuntu...tried installing my pre installed win xp tab version and grub wasnt recognizing win partitions
[06:05] <ubuntu234> Jordan_U_: well I'd like to get the C++ boost libraries on ubuntu if at all possible :)
[06:05] <backtoheaven> i've install the ubuntu, and i got the sound error. the sound repeat forever..
[06:06] <backtoheaven> e.g) ba ba bam~ -> ba ba ba ba x forever
[06:06] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: ms-sys ...ok i'll possibly look into that for future reference
[06:06] <cthulfuego> past the inevitable heat death of the universe? pretty impressive.
[06:06] <b1n42y> Jordan_U_: thanks
[06:06] <Jordan_U_> ubuntu234, Looks like there are relevent packages inthe repositories
[06:07] <ubuntu234> Jordan_U_: yeah, only for about 14 of them, seems like it has the ones that need compiling done for me, but what I"m interested in is where to put the remaining header only files.
[06:07] <ubuntu234> Is there a standard location for that on ubuntu?
[06:07] <Jordan_U_> backtoheaven, Is this the "pcspeaker" do you think, or the actual sound card?
[06:08] <techqbert> will truecrypt ever be added to the ubuntu repos?
[06:08] <backtoheaven> Jordan_U_: Actual sound card..
[06:08] <backtoheaven> I use the Realtek ALC883 (oss mixer)
[06:08] <Dethlok> is downloading movie torrents dangerous?  or any torrents for that matter
[06:08] <Jordan_U_> backtoheaven, Any reason you aren't using ALSA?
[06:09] <backtoheaven> Jordan_U_: Alsa driver also installed
[06:09] <cthulfuego> Dethlok: If they're legal downloads, not at all.
[06:09] <aoeuid> illegal too :P
[06:09] <Jordan_U_> Dethlok, Not if they are in the public domain ;)
[06:09] <ubuntu234> Dethlok: legally perhaps, but I doubt you will catch much nasty things.
[06:09] <cthulfuego> Dethlok: If they're not legal, not at all (but completely not on topic here)
[06:09] <ehc> when I run cdrecord -scanbus I get "wodim: No such file or directory." but wodim -scanbus shows my dvd burners. how can I get cdrecord to see them also?

[06:10] <MinusSeven> Hello
[06:10] <ubuntu234> ehc cdrecord is now wodim\
[06:10] <cthulfuego> primary: The development version does, the packaged one does not (afaik)
[06:10] <backtoheaven> There's two device that detected : Realtek ALC883 (OSS mixer) , and HDA ATI SB(ALSA Mixer)
[06:10] <Creed> Can someone help me get my sound working? I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to do it...and yes its not muted.
[06:10] <ubuntu234> try doing it with wodim instead

[06:10] <savi0r666> hey seem to be having a problem
[06:10] <MinusSeven> How do I have Ubuntu automatically mount a hard drive partition at startup?
[06:10] <subpar> I tried install glgo, an when i type glgo inside terminal, it can't find the program. I've tried the rpm, deb package and shell script, nothing works
[06:10] <ubuntu234> MinusSeven, see fstab

[06:11] <savi0r666> ubuntu wont mount the hard drive on this machine when i boot into the disc how can i fix this
[06:11] <MinusSeven> just that when I found something, it said Ubuntu is only capable of opening a NTFS drive as read only
[06:11] <savi0r666> or it dont recognize any partitions and cant see anything in the partition manager
[06:11] <Jordan_U_> savi0r666, What type of drive?
[06:11] <Creed> Can someone help me get my sound working? I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to do it...and yes its not muted.

[06:12] <MinusSeven> ok,

[06:12] <ubotu> MinusSeven: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

[06:13] <MinusSeven> ubuntu234, I can open up nautilus, and click on the volume, and it mounts it
[06:13] <MinusSeven> but, it doesn't do it automatically at startup
[06:13] <primary> I downloaded the source for the new libgpod, but I don't know how to compile it. Can anyone assist?
[06:14] <ubuntu234> MinusSeven: correct, for automount, you need to set it up in your fstab, unless ubuntu has something fancy that I don't know about
[06:14] <Creed> Can someone help me get my sound working? I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to do it...and yes its not muted.

[06:14] <ubuntu234> though I'd suggest looking at apt-get
[06:14] <ubuntu234> Jordan_U_: ah alright, thanks :)
[06:14] <cabrioleur> Creed, details
[06:15] <riotkittie> hm. i seem to recall 'clear -h' clearing the terminal and the history but it doesnt seem to want to do it here. boo.
[06:15] <primary> ubuntu234: I tried apt-get, no luck. I don't know what "make "means
[06:15] <ubuntu234> primary: alright where are the files on your computer?
[06:15] <ubuntu234> Open up a terminal, type in cd /path/to/directory
[06:15] <riotkittie> primary: install build-essential from the repos
[06:15] <penyu> hiii
[06:15] <riotkittie> primary: you are going to need the files BE will install to compile :P
[06:15] <MystaMax_> hello, I'm having this weird problem where I ubuntu is reading blank CD-R's and DVD-R's, but not DVD+DL? any reason why?
[06:16] <cabrioleur> riotkittie, "reset"?
[06:16] <Creed> cabrioleur, what kind of details?
[06:16] <nemik> primary: i think it's libboost-dev
[06:16] <savi0r666> give me one momnet, im starting it up
[06:16] <riotkittie> cabrioleur: ehh. no. well, reset works as well, i guess. :T
[06:16] <sauvin> "DL"?
[06:16] <ubuntu234> primary: if you can get it from the repos, its better that way
[06:16] <MinusSeven> I installed ntfs-config
[06:17] <ubuntu234> otherwise ./configure && make && make install
[06:17] <MinusSeven> which made it very easy
[06:17] <cabrioleur> Creed, details about your problem. Card manufacturer, system, drivers, credit card number, SSN and date of birth.
[06:17] <MinusSeven> it added the entry to fstab
[06:17] <SoundChaser> Anyone good with terminal fonts & aterm?
[06:17] <ma1> i have googleearth.bin file how do i install it ?
[06:17] <MinusSeven> i'll reboot in a minute
[06:17] <ubuntu234> MinusSeven: :)
[06:17] <MystaMax_> ma1: double click it
[06:17] <MinusSeven> too easy
[06:17] <weltschmerz> Jordan_U_ can you send me a link to that page about pulseaudio?
[06:17] <MinusSeven> if my brains were dynamite, I wouldn't have enough to flip a coin
[06:18] <ma1> mystamax:is not installing, is there another wya
[06:18] <primary> Alright, when I try to configure it (after installing build-essential), it says "No package glib-2.0 found", "No package gobject-2.0 found", and some other stuff.
[06:18] <MystaMax_> im not sure what your trying 2 do
[06:18] <cabrioleur> I found my missing cigarette! I'm saved!
[06:18] <Jordan_U_> weltschmerz, http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
[06:18] <ubuntu234> primary, go through the repos, see if you can find those files (use synaptic if you can)
[06:18] <SoundChaser> cabrioleur, dang I hate it when I can't find my smokes...
[06:18] <Creed> cabrioleur, cs4231 is the sound card, system is a dell workstation 41 (ancient i know, its a server though), drivers..modprobe doesnt seem to do anything...credit card number 421HEY! :)
[06:19] <Jordan_U_> cabrioleur, SoundChaser Quit the cancer sticks :)
[06:19] <ma1> i have a bin file how do i install it ?
[06:19] <thor_> primary: you need the 'devel' packages for glib and such. make sure they are installed also
[06:19] <MinusSeven> brb
[06:19] <Jordan_U_> ma1, Most likely, you don't :) What are you trying to install?
[06:19] <cabrioleur> Jordan_U_, and die from stress (I'm a soldier)
