[03:42] <RequinB4> !hi | Da_Nemesis
[03:42] <eniacpx> raden: the '24' is the netmask. In your example it means <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:42] <eTiger13> raden its the subnet for the network
[03:42] <Da_Nemesis> thnks ubottu
[03:42] <nickrud> eTiger13 the man synaptics has all the gory details; googling for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[03:42] <Gnea> eniacpx: negative, the '24' is the CIDR address. netmask is <IP_ADDRESS>.
[03:43] <nickrud> eTiger13 well, in all that garbled syntax there is a little bit of information ;)
[03:43] <raden> how does the 24 tell it that ? im googling it cause something i see 16 etc...
[03:43] <Gnea> raden: again, you need to ask in #networking.
[03:43] <eniacpx> Gnea: The two are unrelated?
[03:43] <mgolisch> iam out
[03:43] <mgolisch> night ppl.
[03:43] <amirman> so does anyone know how i can add the trashbin to the desktop?

[03:44] <micky> hello, i've setup a testing envrionment composed of 5 virtual machines ( 3 linux servers and 2 linux clients ) - see http://nowlive.ro/micky/network_diagram.jpg , the problem i'm facing is ip routing, i've tried adding static network routes on the main server but it seems not to do the job, could you give me some pointers on this ? thanks,
[03:44] <LanUser> Hello - how can I get the "You have new mail" notification working at the console?  I thought biff would do it, but no such luck :(
[03:44] <Joeseph> mgolisch: I just installed it I'll see how that works.
[03:44] <Joeseph> Gnea: I'm about to try yours too.
[03:45] <amirman> LanUser: by console do you mean panel?
[03:45] <inflex> how can I restart the PAM system?
[03:45] <eTiger13> as opposed to haveing the trash icon on the menu bar?
[03:45] <Daxx> [  nurmalsozumguggn ] :P
[03:45] <inflex> (command line)
[03:45] <amirman> eTiger13: yes
[03:45] <jws> lol wtf "by console you mean panel"
[03:45] <LanUser> amirman: no, like as in gnome-terminal or via ssh shell, or on a VT
[03:46] <Cpudan80> whats the dd command to dump a CD into an ISO?
[03:46] <eTiger13> amirman: why would you want that?
[03:46] <awflame> Cpudan80: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/myiso.iso
[03:46] <awflame> If you want you can specify a blocksize to speed it up
[03:46] <awflame> bs=1024 or something
[03:46] <Cpudan80> awflame: ty
[03:46] <jws> LanUser: i have a fetchmail and procmail setup. and it prints when i get new mail. and just use mutt to read
[03:47] <VipOrX> Cpudan80: I'd use remastersys
[03:47] <Gnea> micky: you need to run SNAT, not static routes.
[03:47] <Gnea> !iptables | micky
[03:47] <amirman> eTiger13: i'm setting up ubuntu for a very computer illiterate user who has reservations about using a new operating system, i want to make this setup as close to the feel of his current set up to avoid minor annoyances for him
[03:47] <LanUser> jws: I like mutt too and use procmail to filter junk, but didn't think of it for new mail notification
[03:48] <micky> Gnea snat on public ip addresses ?
[03:48] <LanUser> jws: I don't need fetchmail though I think, I'm sitting on the console of the email server itself
[03:48] <eTiger13> amirman: coming from windows?
[03:48] <amirman> eTiger13: yup
[03:48] <Gnea> micky: the example listed private ip addresses.
[03:48] <eTiger13> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=195358
[03:48] <AndyB> I completely deleted my /etc/apache2 directory and now apache wont start, tried purging, reinstalling.. wont install new directory. can anyone help?
[03:49] <Gnea> micky: oh okay, i see the 'actual' bit now
[03:49] <amirman> eTiger13: gracias
[03:49] <evilGUI> Hello I just used Wubi to install Kubuntu with KDE4 and it fails at grub saying filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
[03:50] <Gnea> micky: check out iproute2 (using the ip command) to set static routes - ubuntu advanced networking howto  via google should point you in the right direction
[03:50] <LanUser> AndyB: apt-get install --reinstall somepackage
[03:50] <Gnea> micky: it uses something called rt_tables which really rocks
[03:50] <nickrud> AndyB purge & reinstall apache2.2-common
[03:51] <Gnea> 30 packages to go
[03:51] <evilGUI> I'm really confused
[03:51] <Gnea> evilGUI: is the error during the installation or when the system boots up?
[03:52] <Kohlrak> the reset taskbars thing didn't work... i managed to find out that there was some kind of invisible app and just deleting the panel and adding fixed the problem. But now, i have to find a way to re-add the trash bin because adding it to the panel with the add to panel thinger doesn't work with it for some reason.
[03:52] <raden> Im a long time suse user and thinking of switching to ubuntu at new office for our servers and my desktop  is there a huge performance and ease of use diffrence between the 2 ?
[03:52] <Gnea> and the upgrade is commencing.
[03:52] <evilGUI> install I guess first time tring to install
[03:52] <Joeseph> okay, now not only do I not have sound, but any flash video only plays for a second, then stops.   I don't see any errors in my terminal this time though.
[03:52] <l3d> i have tried everything and nothing work on dvd ripping or playback
[03:52] <Gnea> evilGUI: heh, well what i meant by 'booting up' was when it first boots the system up *after* installation.
[03:53] <Kousotu> !dvd
[03:53] <Kohlrak> l3d, have fun with that......... The newer dvds are unplayable in linux as far as i know
[03:53] <evilGUI> nah it hasn't ran the install scripts I guess
[03:53] <Gnea> evilGUI: did you tell it to install to the superblock of the same HD that you installed on to the MBR?
[03:53] <Kousotu> Kohlrak: just needs some hacking in Linux is all
[03:53] <Kousotu> Kohlrak: I haven't found a DVD my PC wouldn't play yet
[03:54] <Kousotu> thoug.. I DO need to fix up my other pc lol
[03:54] <evilGUI> I have another 40GB partition that I installed it to
[03:54] <tsuna27> what is the code 4 switch btw compiz and Kwin
[03:54] <solexious> [Q] When i boot into kernels -19 or -20 I login but it only goes to a lighter brown background and doesn't load any further, how come?
[03:54] <Kohlrak> Kousotu: odd, i've never managed to get a dvd to play even with those dvd codec installer things.
[03:54] <Gnea> evilGUI: is that on the same physical drive?
[03:54] <evilGUI> Yeah
[03:54] <l3d> me either
[03:55] <Gnea> evilGUI: and on what step, exactly, is the error occuring?
[03:55] <evilGUI> Ok I ran Wubi it downloaded everything and then I restarted
[03:55] <Kohlrak> anyone know how to get that trashbin thinger back? Or how to access it in nautilus or something?
[03:55] <evilGUI> when I select Kubuntu KDE4 from the boot menu it just says that
[03:55] <jeffcovey> hello, all!  i just installed ubuntu on a dell latitude d630 laptop.  the installation went beautifully.  i want to set up wireless networking.  the wireless driver, iwl4965, loads on boot, but now what should i do?  running ifconfig eth1 says "no such device" (wired ethernet connection eth0 is working fine).
[03:56] <Kohlrak> nevermind: trash:///
[03:56] <AndyB> Could someone help me repair apache2 please?
[03:56] <Joeseph> Gnea: firefox does not play sound, and your suggestion didn't help (thanks though) any other ideas"?
[03:56] <Gnea> Kohlrak: right click on the bottom or top bar, right click, add-to-panel, scroll down and locate trash
[03:57] <Gnea> Joeseph: try restarting X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
[03:57] <TechPepsi> is there irc server software that we can edit?
[03:57] <evilGUI> So I guess it can't find the installer right?
[03:58] <Gnea> TechPepsi: all irc server software is open source, so yes.
[03:58] <Kohlrak> Gnea: Believe it or not, that's not working for some reason. Well, it did (after closing the add to panel thinger), but the icon doesn't even show up. Oh well, at least i know it's there, even if i can't see it.
[03:58] <fenrrir> hi, i using ubuntu hardy. my gnome-terminal look for monaco font is bad. horizontal space between letters is large. i google it but not resolved.
[03:58] <TechPepsi> what do you recommend, that we can wget?
[03:58] <Gnea> Kohlrak: weird
[03:58] <VipOrX> jeffcovey: install wlassistant and run it, does it show and wireless access points?
[03:59] <jeffcovey> VipOrX: will check, thanks.
[03:59] <Gnea> TechPepsi: the only recommendation would be via apt, not wget. apt-cache search irc server
[03:59] <AndyB> Really this is confusing me so much could someone help with completely removing apache?
[03:59] <Kohlrak> Gnea: yea, i don't know where it went. Maybe purging gdm broke it XD
[03:59] <TechPepsi> thanks for reminding me
[03:59] <Gnea> evilGUI: not sure :/
[04:00] <Gnea> anytime
[04:00] <yippity_skippity> hello, I had this other prob a few min ago and I was told to install gnome-desktop-environment (among other things but when I try to install it I get this message: "gnome-desktop-environment:
[04:00] <yippity_skippity>  Depends: gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"
[04:00] <jeffcovey> VipOrX: er, it wants to install 98mb to install that.  is there a similar non-kde-dependent package?
[04:00] <Kohlrak> yippity_skippity: how did you even get ubuntu without the keyring manager? XD
[04:00] <TechPepsi> how do you scroll up to see the top of the list?
[04:01] <Kohlrak> Techpepsi, where?
[04:01] <Kousotu> yippity_skippity: did you install it in synaptic?
[04:01] <yippity_skippity> Kohlrak: I uninstalled the evolution email client
[04:01] <TechPepsi> the apt cache menu
[04:01] <Ahadiel> TechPepsi, pipe it to less
[04:01] <VipOrX> then use iwlist
[04:01] <Joeseph> Gnea: My startup sound didn't play this time.  Just a little background on my system, I've got the gstreamer media backend relying on jack so I can stream my rhythbox music easily.  I've got Ubuntu studio.
[04:01] <AndyB> Could anyone please tell me how to completely remove apache and delete all of its files? So i can do a complete reinstall?
[04:02] <TechPepsi> pipe it to less?
[04:02] <ssorrell> i have a sitution involving a macbook cd drive
[04:02] <Kousotu> Kohlrak: Ubuntu likes me?
[04:02] <evilGUI> is there a wubi irc channel?
[04:02] <yippity_skippity> Kohlrak: yeah synaptic is what gives me that message, terminal just refuses
[04:02] <TechPepsi> ssorrell, what?
[04:02] <Gnea> !ask | ssorrell
[04:02] <Ahadiel> TechPepsi, at the end of the command, add | less
[04:02] <Kousotu> evilGUI: maybe #wubi ?
[04:03] <evilGUI> it doesn't exsist =(
[04:03] <TechPepsi> THANKS
[04:03] <TechPepsi> whoop[s
[04:03] <ssorrell> i'm attempting to re-install ubuntu on a macbook, and i was using the minimal cd image to do so
[04:03] <Joeseph> Gnea: I don't know if you're still willing to help, but the videos are playing now, but still no sound.
[04:03] <Kousotu> evilGUI: well, idk.. thought I'd throw out a suggestion lol
[04:03] <ssorrell> i'm attempting to re-install ubuntu on a macbook, and i was using the minimal cd image to do so. however, i cannot eject the cd drive after installation.  thoughts?
[04:03] <yippity_skippity> Kousotu: yeah synaptic is what gives me that message, terminal just refuses
[04:03] <jeffcovey> "iwlist eth1 scanning" gives "interface doesn't support scanning".
[04:03] <Kousotu> yippity_skippity: ah...
[04:03] <tsuna27> hi what is the supper button
[04:03] <TechPepsi> do you have to sudo apt get install to what I am looking for?
[04:04] <Kousotu> tsuna27: the "windows" button
[04:04] <TechPepsi> ssorrell, just hold c down
[04:04] <Blaqlight> AndyB: type sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2
[04:04] <TechPepsi> ssorrell, to boot to cdd
[04:04] <TechPepsi> cd*
[04:04] <Ahadiel> TechPepsi, You can use synaptic, or sudo apt-get install package
[04:04] <TechPepsi> I am on mac, so it works just the same
[04:05] <ssorrell> no no, i don't want to boot from cd, i'm trying to eject the cd to boot from hard drive
[04:05] <AndyB> Blaqlight: I have, But the files still exist. And when i reinstall i continue to get my error
[04:05] <Blaqlight> AndyB: type sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2
[04:05] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, does iwconfig say that eth1 is a wireless interface?
[04:05] <mi1> hi
[04:05] <Gnea> Joeseph: willing isn't the issue - i'm in the middle of a distro upgrade so things could get hairy soon.  is jack running?
[04:05] <AndyB> Blaqlight: I have, But the files still exist. And when i reinstall i continue to get my error
[04:05] <TechPepsi> did you press the eject?
[04:05] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: no, it says "eth1: no such device".
[04:05] <Joeseph> Gnea: jack is running.
[04:05] <mi1> hi, i have xp installed multiboot with ubuntu but i cant view the other OS(ubuntu) in my XP
[04:05] <TechPepsi> where does it download to?
[04:06] <Gnea> Joeseph: what happens if you stop jack?
[04:06] <ssorrell> i have tried holding eject on bootup, and while in the installation interface
[04:06] <TechPepsi> abchirk,
[04:06] <TechPepsi> Ahadiel,
[04:06] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, pastebin the output of iwconfig
[04:06] <garymox> I need a video converter from mpeg to mpeg4
[04:06] <TechPepsi> where can I edit the preferences
[04:06] <ssorrell> is there a way to boot into a real live image on the minimal cd? or just the ash prompt
[04:06] <TechPepsi> ?
[04:06] <Gnea> garymox: ffmpeg
[04:06] <fenrrir> hi, good night. i'm try using monaco font in gnome-terminal but space between letters is large. i need help. i google it but not resoveld. i change /etc/fonts/conf.d and ~/.fonts.conf and nothing.
[04:06] <Ahadiel> TechPepsi, Where does what download to?
[04:06] <garymox> can anybody helpme
[04:06] <TechPepsi> the package
[04:06] <Joeseph> Gnea: wow.    that does it.
[04:07] <Gnea> Joeseph: sweet
[04:07] <Joeseph> I guess it doesn't work with jack... odd....
[04:07] <AndyB> I have tried using apt-get remove --purge apache2 but the files still exist and it still accepts the apache2ctl command
[04:07] <Gnea> what happens, is that jack takes over control of the sound device
[04:07] <taes81> hi, i hope i dont offend anyone here, but i was just wondering is it possible to write a program that opens up firefox and connects to a certain webpage?
[04:07] <TechPepsi> how can I configure it?
[04:07] <taes81> if so what language
[04:08] <Gnea> Joeseph: so the device is, literally, jacked from other programs wanting to push audio through
[04:08] <nickrud> AndyB dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii , purge all those
[04:08] <ssorrell> teas81 a shell script should do it
[04:08] <Ahadiel> TechPepsi, I suggest reading up on the irc server before installing it.
[04:08] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: pasted.
[04:08] <TechPepsi> ssorrell, there is no live cd for mac, / ubuntu
[04:08] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, now give me the url -_-
[04:08] <nickrud> AndyB apache2 is a metapackage, a package that depends upon and installs the real apache stuff.  apt-cache depends apache2 shows you the top level dependencies
[04:08] <Joeseph> Gnea: I find jack good but too controlling.
[04:08] <TechPepsi> there is only a bootable cd for ubuntu
[04:09] <mi1> any help
[04:09] <vjl> hello!
[04:09] <Gnea> Joeseph: it depends on the soundcard you have - it's usually not so bad on a full duplex or a hammerfall
[04:09] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: oh, never used this before.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/33521/  i thought it went into a publically viewable space somewhere.
[04:09] <taes81> hi, does anyone in here program?
[04:09] <Ahadiel> mi1, You need to install the ext2 driver for Windows.
[04:09] <vjl> i have a quick question - how do i install the default wifi programs needed to use wireless from the ubuntu cd?
[04:09] <Flannel> !anyone | taes81
[04:10] <nickrud> mi1 get the driver from fs-driver.org
[04:10] <yippity_skippity> Kousotu: any ideas. beginning to look like uninstalling wubi and reinstalling is the best idea I have
[04:10] <Gnea> !wireless | vjl
[04:10] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, What wireless card do you have?
[04:10] <mi1> ext2?
[04:10] <vjl> ok thanks
[04:10] <taes81> does anyone in here program? lol
[04:10] <mi1> you mean install that on windows so it can see the ubuntu?
[04:10] <Gnea> !offtopic | taes81
[04:10] <Flannel> yippity_skippity: gnome-desktop-environment is not what you want, you want ubuntu-desktop
[04:10] <nickrud> mi1 yes, ubuntu uses a different file system than windows. You need to add the driver for it to XP
[04:11] <Flannel> yippity_skippity: (gnome-desktop-environment does have that dependency issue, its known and normal)
[04:11] <Blaqlight> oh for heavens sake, I can't seem to stay in the channel
[04:11] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33523/
[04:11] <amirman> where does ubuntu keep desktop wallpapers?
[04:11] <mi1> nickrud:it doesn matter even both OS resides in differne physical hard drive/.
[04:11] <taes81> does anyone in here know a programming channel
[04:11] <Kousotu> is there a 8.10 in the works yet?
[04:11] <Flannel> Kousotu: yes, #ubuntu+1 for questions on it
[04:12] <Gnea> taes81: what language?
[04:12] <Flannel> taes81: please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:12] <Kousotu> I was just wondering what it's gonna be called
[04:12] <garymox> I need a video converter from mpeg to mpeg4
[04:12] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, Are there drivers for it in System => Admin => Hardware Drivers?
[04:12] <amirman> Kousotu: yes, you can even download a development version but it's not stable
[04:12] <nickrud> mi1 yes, it does matter. Windows simply can't read the linux filesystem without an extra driver
[04:12] <Gnea> garymox: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[04:12] <Kousotu> amirman: I never dl till rc3 or more
[04:12] <taes81> maybe perl
[04:12] <Kousotu> was wondering what it's gonna be called, that's all
[04:12] <Ahadiel> taes81, then try #perl
[04:12] <amirman> Kousotu: i download the first rc that comes out usually
[04:12] <Flannel> !intrepid | Kousotu
[04:12] <taes81> k ty for your help
[04:13] <Gnea> garymox: you will, of course, need to consult with google as to specific parameters required for the mp4 conversion.
[04:13] <yippity_skippity> Flannel ok I'll try to install ubuntu-desktop then
[04:13] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: that's empty, just says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system."
[04:13] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, hrm, I'll go look up what drivers are needed.
[04:13] <Gnea> October, already?
[04:13] <Gnea> that is *fast*
[04:13] <Kousotu> well, I'm out guys
[04:13] <nickrud> time flies faster the older you get Gnea
[04:14] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: oh, i thought the boot messages meant the appropriate driver had already been loaded.
[04:14] <vjl> hm..i have a better question, how can i install network-manager from a cd. i accidentally uninstalled it
[04:14] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, Nope.
[04:14] <Gnea> nickrud: i still remember when it took 2-4 years for debian to make a full release
[04:14] <amirman> does anyone know where ubuntu stores wallpapers?
[04:14] <nickrud> Gnea I don't think they ever released the whole time I used unstable
[04:15] <Gnea> "it's gonna be out in december.... no wait, january... no wait, april..... no wait, another christmas..."
[04:15]  * nickrud is exaggerating
[04:15] <Gnea> so am i lol
[04:15] <Gnea> but that sort of thing really did happen
[04:15] <nickrud> yep
[04:15] <mi1> nickrud:so ill just download them and run them?
[04:16] <Devourer> I just installed a new sound card, and now Flash Player is significantly quiet than the all of my other audio applications, why is this?
[04:16] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, Still looking, going to boot up my Ubuntu VM and see if I can find the driver.
[04:16] <nickrud> mi1 yes. You should read that page completely, so you know it's limitations. Me, I generally only read from ntfs in linux, and from ext in windows. Try never to write to either from either
[04:17] <nickrud> mi1 its much safer now than it used to be, I'm just very conservative
[04:17] <Gnea> Devourer: youtube?
[04:17] <Devourer> Gnea, haha, actually I haven't tested it on any other site with flash... maybe I should do that.
[04:17] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: thank you!
[04:18] <Gnea> Devourer: :)
[04:18] <Gnea> Devourer: also check your mixer settings, make sure Master and PCM are at desirable levels. Youtube will also have its own volume level.
[04:19] <mlester> Hey everyone
[04:19] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, does "modprobe -l | grep iwl" show iwl4965?
[04:20] <Devourer> Gnea, I think it's with all flash programs.
[04:20] <mlester> I am getting a http died unexpectdly error when I try and do a apt-get update
[04:21] <mlester> I have internet connectivity and my route looks good
[04:21] <Gnea> Devourer: have you tried restarting the browser?
[04:21] <mlester> couldnt find anything in the forums to help me out
[04:21] <Josdell> Hi everyone I chose to run a MIDI with timidity by double clicking on it. How do i kill it?
[04:21] <Gnea> mlester: perhaps you have bad mirrors listed
[04:21] <Devourer> Gnea, perhaps not.
[04:21] <Gnea> Josdell: in a terminal, killall -9 timidity
[04:22] <seekingtruth> how can I alter kubuntu to become ubuntu with gnome, firefox etc?
[04:22] <Josdell> Gnea: thanks
[04:22] <mlester> well I have 2 machines running hardy and they both have the same sources.list
[04:22] <mlester> but one works and one doesnt
[04:22] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33524/
[04:22] <seekingtruth> is there a way to convert Kubuntu to Ubuntu?
[04:22] <Gnea> seekingtruth: backup important data on system, download ubuntu iso, burn to cd, boot cd, install regular ubuntu, restore important data
[04:22] <mlester> there not the same though one is a machine I got from the net
[04:22] <seekingtruth> Gnea: dont troll pls
[04:23] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, try "sudo modprobe iwl4965 && ifconfig -a"
[04:23] <Gnea> seekingtruth: pardon?
[04:23] <seekingtruth> Gnea: I asked...  is there a way to convert Kubuntu to Ubuntu?  ytes or no?
[04:23] <seekingtruth> without installing a totally new ubuntu
[04:23] <Devourer> Gnea, restarting didn't change anything.
[04:23] <awflame> what?
[04:23] <Ahadiel> seekingtruth, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:23] <seekingtruth> Gnea: are you trolling? doesnt seem anything you say works for anyone
[04:23] <awflame> What about apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[04:24] <seekingtruth> Ahadiel: ok great thanks :)
[04:24] <Gnea> seekingtruth: you didn't say 'without installing a totally new ubuntu' from the get-go.
[04:24] <Gnea> !offtopic | seekingtruth
[04:24] <seekingtruth> Gnea: did you see that troll?   there is a way.!!!!  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:24] <Blaqlight> !pureubuntu | seekingtruth
[04:24] <seekingtruth> Gnea: if you dont know, then dont give bad advice
[04:24] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: just shows eth0 and lo up.  iwl4965 was already loaded.
[04:25] <Gnea> ....
[04:25] <mlester> yeah that guy was wierd
[04:25]  * Gnea proceeds to place that... thing, on /ignore
[04:25]  * Blaqlight completely gives up.
[04:25] <TANK_LORD^ZLA> p
[04:25] <vjl> hooray for ubuntu!
[04:25] <mlester> um so any idea why I am getting the error with apt-get update
[04:27] <Devourer> Gnea, I still can't believe that Flash Player would suddenly be a different volume level.
[04:27] <AndyB> I have removed all apache packages, and reinstalled apache2, added ServerName localhost, but yet still, i get a timeout on http://localhost. Anyone any suggestions?
[04:27] <Gnea> Devourer: what is it lower than, exactly?
[04:27] <salty> is there a portable .ogg player? I have a sansa m240 and would love to use it for my .ogg files
[04:28] <Gnea> AndyB: checked the logfiles?
[04:28] <Gnea> salty: LG makes them
[04:28] <magnetron> !rockbox | salty
[04:28] <Devourer> Gnea, well, amarok and VLC are playing at normal levels I guess.
[04:28] <mlester> what the hell now it works it just says I have an error with signature verification
[04:28] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: any idea what's going wrong?
[04:28] <AndyB> Gnea: Nothing in it, Just says resumed operations successfully
[04:28] <Gnea> !language | mlester
[04:28] <salty> ok thnx
[04:28] <Devourer> Gnea, before this sound card upgrade I was using an integrated sound card.
[04:28] <mlester> oh sorry
[04:29] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, hrm, maybe try: sudo modprobe -r iwl4965 && modprobe iwl4965 && ifconfig -a
[04:29] <Gnea> Devourer: well you need to remember that most videos on youtube and whatnot are recorded at various levels, and will playback at those respected levels
[04:29] <RequinB4> how stable is rockbox?
[04:29] <PulsarFl> hi

[04:30] <PulsarFl> I would like to setup a partition or space on a windows desktop with a 500 gb hard drive..to access via a lan on a ubuntu system..to be able to store additional programs and data files..is that possible?
[04:30] <CHR15> Anyone help with a sound problem?
[04:30] <Devourer> Gnea, well, I tested videos that I've heard before , and when I turn my volume up to hear them I'll hear them fine, but when I start playing something on Amarok it'll be too loud.
[04:30] <PulsarFl> thanks so much

[04:31] <AndyB> TechPepsi: Do that via your router/modem/gateway? not in ubuntu
[04:31] <Kohlrak> CHR15, as in pidgin isn't installed?
[04:31] <Rolle> Anyone have good suggestion for IDE for c++ ?
[04:31] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, oh I'm sorry, I forgot a sudo infront of the second modprobe
[04:31] <red> I'm strugglgin with resetting the keychain gui on my ssh agent.

[04:32] <CHR15> Kohlrak: Pidgin is installed and I can here the annyoing beeps it makes, but I can't hear Youtube.
[04:32] <Kohlrak> CHR15, are you using OSS or ALSA?
[04:32] <CHR15> No idea
[04:32] <mlester> how do u update the gpg signature
[04:32] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33527/

[04:33] <unavailable> any news on a yahoo voice solution for ub??
[04:33] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, Heh, this is confusing. What laptop do you have?
[04:33] <CHR15> Kohlrak: tried that
[04:33] <PulsarFl> hmm
[04:33] <PulsarFl> should I wait on my question?
[04:33] <Kohlrak> CHR15, it'll tell you if you're using OSS or ALSA
[04:33] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: yes, quite.  :)  it's a dell latitude d630.
[04:34] <CHR15> Kohlrak: I switched it all to say "USB Audio"
[04:34] <Rolle> Is G++ the best option?
[04:35] <Kohlrak> CHR15, that might be why you don't hear anything. XD Try one of the ALSA things for all your sound output, leave the USB for the input only.
[04:35] <AndyB> Could anyone help me with apache2, Its installed, but not loading pages, have uninstalled, reinstalled, stopped, restarted. Nothing in error log.. :(
[04:35] <CHR15> Kohlrak: ok hold on
[04:35] <ScarFace88> Rolle: For what?
[04:35] <Kohlrak> AndyB, url?
[04:35] <Rolle> comiling C++
[04:35] <Rolle> *compiling
[04:35] <Rolle> i'm learning =)
[04:35] <rouslan> Where are desktop backgrounds stored in Ubuntu?
[04:35] <AndyB> Kohlark: No URL, Just installing on localhost
[04:36] <nickrud> rouslan no particular place, gnome simply adds it to the background list but leaves it where it was
[04:36] <Kohlrak> AndyB, how do you know it's not loading pages then?
[04:36] <[z]neo> anyone here know how to do this tweaks or link? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGlOA-cTMRs
[04:36] <unavailable> nickrud: check this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGlOA-cTMRs tell me how he still has his icons, skip to about 30 seconds from the end
[04:36] <rouslan> nickrud: I mean, the current background?
[04:36] <CHR15> Kohlrak: Thank you alot, it works now.
[04:36] <AndyB> Kohlrak: When i go to http://localhost its not loading, and when i use apache2ctl status, it returns that it cannot connect
[04:36] <Kohlrak> no problem CHR15
[04:37] <unavailable> nickrud: about 5:24
[04:37] <nickrud> rouslan again, its using it from the original location
[04:37] <Ahadiel> jeffcovey, not really sure what else to do. Maybe try http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5455646&postcount=6 this suggestion and install hardy backports.
[04:37] <mlester> ls
[04:37] <Kohlrak> That's odd AndyB, i've never seen an apache2 installation that didn't work out of the box...
[04:38] <AndyB> Kohlrak: I know :(
[04:38] <rouslan> nickrud: Can I /msg?
[04:38] <Kohlrak> AndyB, netstat | grep 80 (i think that's it)
[04:38] <TeslaTony> I'm trying to get an HP P1005 laser printer working on my system. Right now, if I try printing, it gets queued, then does nothing. Anyone know how to get it working?
[04:38] <ScarFace88> Rolle: It depends on the program and version of said program  you are compiling as newwer vesiorns of certian  popular programs require bnewer bersions of g++ in order to enable advanced features.
[04:38] <Kohlrak> should give us a clue if anything's even running on 80 (maybe osmething already bound)
[04:38] <nickrud> unavailable it looks like he's layering a transparent window over the desktop
[04:38] <nickrud> rouslan sure
[04:38] <tympaniplayer> is there anyway to get a screen resolution bigger than 800X600??
[04:38] <redderred> hi all
[04:39] <unavailable> hmmm.....
[04:39] <AndyB> Kohlrak: Nothing running on port 80

[04:40] <Kohlrak> tympaniplayer: system->preferences-> restricted hardware drivers
[04:40] <redderred> is there a package i can dl to make it easier
[04:40] <Kohlrak> AndyB, i mean when you do the apache2 start, you should have a sudo infront of it
[04:40] <jeffcovey> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33529/
[04:41] <AndyB> Kohlrak: Yes i doo
[04:41] <tympaniplayer> kohlark: there isnt a restricted hardware driver listed
[04:41] <Kohlrak> http://paste.ubuntu.com <-- let's see the exact output then
[04:41] <Kohlrak> tympaniplayer: it likes to change names. It's not hardware information, but the other thing with hardware in it's name in that menu

[04:45] <FlyRyan_> Rolle: im gonna restart GNOME.....  brb
[04:45] <Kohlrak> AndyB: you said it gave you an error.  Look for an install file, but i've never heard of a linux game on cd. You sure you're not trying to run a windows game?
[04:46] <exile777> is it a windows game?
[04:46] <AndyB> Kohlrak: No it gives no error.. there is nothing in the logs. It says its working fine, but yet it wont load when i go to localhost
[04:46] <redderred> sof
[04:46] <redderred> it has setup.sh file
[04:46] <Kohlrak> AndyB: There are multiple logs, have you checked all of them?
[04:46] <redderred> it was an iso and i just burned it
[04:47] <redderred> but i have extracted the iso as well
[04:47] <RequinB4> rederred: cd /media/cdrom/other/path/to/sh ; chmod +x stuff.sh ; ./stuff.sh
[04:47] <AndyB> Kohlrak: Only the error log. What else should i check?

[04:51] <ManualOverDozer8> Phoenix92x wine is for windows games, try installing it normal
[04:51] <awag> for some reason I only have the option to log off or to hibernate now
[04:51] <awag> or switch user
[04:51] <MermaidMan> will i see a speed increase with jfs?
[04:51] <awag> no restart or shutdown unless i log out first
[04:51] <Phoenix92x> ManualOverDozer8; how do you mean?
[04:51] <awag> is this a bug or a new feature?
[04:51] <FlyRyan> so yea,,,, u gotta restart GNOME for that to go away
[04:51] <FlyRyan> makes for an awesome prank
[04:51] <ari_stress> hello all
[04:52] <sysop_> hello ari
[04:52] <unavailable> [z]neo: what you were seeing in that utube vid is not exactly what happens when you do what he does, any icons and screenlets are lost when you run xwinwrap like that
[04:52] <ari_stress> how to prevent my filesystem to be checked so often during boot?
[04:52] <Tell360> hi
[04:52] <ManualOverDozer8> Phoenix92x you said you were using WINE< that is only for windows games , not linux. let me check starcraft website, then maybe i can help you a little more
[04:53] <RequinB4> ManualOverDozer8: starcraft is a windows game
[04:53] <yanger> lunch a long way: links -dump http://whatismyipaddress.com/ | grep "Your IP address is"
[04:53] <Phoenix92x> oh um...its starcraft for windows
[04:53] <Phoenix92x> I wasn't aware there was a linux version
[04:53] <yanger> er lynx
[04:53] <Tell360> yanger: hi !
[04:53] <yanger> Tell360 ? hi.
[04:53] <yanger> oh either..
[04:53] <yanger> links or lynx works
[04:54] <paolo> Hi *. Does anyone know if it is possible to enable/disable external monitors (connected to docking station) from console? it works from nvidia-settings
[04:54] <lunch> RequinB4, thx
[04:54] <ManualOverDozer8> Phoenix92x : i thought you said it was for linux too, but now i see that it isnt
[04:54] <lunch> yanger, thx
[04:54] <RequinB4> Pheonix92x: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=72
[04:55] <MermaidMan> ari_stress:  do you want to disable the checking or make it longer?
[04:55] <RequinB4> lunch: np
[04:55] <ManualOverDozer8> Phoenix92x : is the problem trying to access the CDROM with wine ?
[04:56] <Phoenix92x> ManualOverDozer8, there's a script I'm using to run the game in a seperate x session, and its not working. The game works ok its just that it needs its own x session at 640x480 to not screw up on this monitor
[04:56] <ManualOverDozer8> Pheonixx92x : ok
[04:57] <ManualOverDozer8> Pheonixx92x :  so all you need to do is change your resolution ?
[04:57] <ManualOverDozer8> Pheonixx92x :  System/Preferences/Screen Resolution
[04:58] <ari_stress> MermaidMan: to make it longer, currently i think it's about on every other day
[04:58] <ManualOverDozer8> Pheonixx92x :  if you could pastbin the script, maybe someone can help you with that part. hard to say what is happening till someone can see what the scropt is doing
[04:58] <RequinB4> Pheonix92x: I don't think you'll be able to do that without a window manager... check winecfg and try toggling emulate a virtual desktop
[04:59] <tympaniplayer> i just enabled my graphics card in ubuntu, but now when i get past the ubuntu load screen...i get a big black nothing...what should i do?
[04:59] <MermaidMan> ari_stress:  you can change the amount of mounts it takes for fsck to run by sudo tune2fs -c x /dev/whateverdevice         where x is the number of mounts
[04:59] <ManualOverDozer8> RequinB4 : thanks, i dont play games on Linux, so you are prob better equipped to help Phoenix
[04:59] <RequinB4> Pheonix92x: in your GNOME session of course.
[05:00] <RequinB4> Pheonix92x - I assume you've done all from the appdb link i sent you
[05:00] <ManualOverDozer8> RequinB4:  i have Wine, but it is only there for dev pruposes
[05:00] <RequinB4> After that i'm out
[05:01] <tympaniplayer> what can i do so that i dont get a blank screen when i start ubuntu?
[05:02] <lunch> yanger, links is better for me. but  links -dump www.ipchicken.com | grep -i 'name address'  only host name, how to grep ip too without using curl
[05:02] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer: you need to set your "session" to something like  "Gnome Desktop X"
[05:02] <tympaniplayer> :manual how do i do that?
[05:02] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  do you see a regular login screen ?
[05:02] <tympaniplayer> no
[05:03] <tympaniplayer> manual: just black
[05:03] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  ok, i have the fix here somewhere. let me look at my notes
[05:03] <tympaniplayer> manual:ok thanks
[05:03] <NewbieKH> I stumbled upon a cool guide that tells you how to hide a rar archive in a .jpg image on windows. I've been playing with the "cat" command to try to do the same
[05:03] <NewbieKH> does anyone know a way to do this for linux?
[05:04] <yanger> i just noticed my ubuntu server rebooted two days ago .. for no apparent reason.. any way I can figure out if it was tripped forcefully (power outage, power button) or if it was a remote/shutdown -r command? all i see in syslog is that the server saw a "syslogd 1.5.0#ubuntu1: restart."
[05:04] <yanger> lunch ahh ok
[05:04] <tympaniplayer> manual: if it makes any difference i just enabled my nividia graphics card
[05:05] <inflex> yanger: had that problem with a box that had a CPU with an overheating issue
[05:05] <RequinB4> NewbieKH - um, linux distros use MIME types and not file extensions... If you want to fool a person you can just rename it to name.jpg
[05:05] <yanger> inflex hmm.. ok.. will look into that..
[05:05] <midus> i need help if anyone can help me. im a new user
[05:05] <havocstorm> hey guys
[05:06] <RequinB4> NewbieKH - but anyone on ubuntu will get a warning message telling people what is wrong
[05:06] <havocstorm> Does anyone here play diplomacy?
[05:06] <NewbieKH> well on the guide it shows, the image appears to be a normal .jpg aside from a larger file size, it has a thumbnail image and everything
[05:06] <midus> can anyone help me? im having problems installing
[05:06] <NewbieKH> but you can open the jpg with an archive extractor and it works like the .rar too
[05:06] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:   you may be able to do this (still looking) > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:07] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  oh i have it
[05:07] <ManualOverDozer8>   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:08] <tympaniplayer> manual: where will i get a terminal to type this in?
[05:08] <ManualOverDozer8> are you not at a console prompt ?
[05:08] <evilGUI> ok so I get it to install kubuntu and it fails brings me to a black screen then it restarts
[05:08] <tympaniplayer> im on windows right now
[05:08] <RequinB4> Ok, there is a very small chance that either of those commands would work.  For one, the first is basically useless in hardy, for another, he wasn't dropped to a shell, he has a balck screen
[05:08] <evilGUI> now my mouse is all laggy in windows
[05:08] <VladimirMelo> hey, is there any packager around?
[05:09] <evilGUI> and firefox seems to reinstalled it self
[05:09] <tympaniplayer> manual: im using windows
[05:09] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  i see, well you can do a few things, but try that at console. or maybe you can get lucky and just type startx
[05:09] <tympaniplayer> ok
[05:10] <ManualOverDozer8> dpkg -l xserver-xorg | grep ^ii
[05:10] <tympaniplayer> manual: thanks ill see what i can do:-)
[05:10] <ManualOverDozer8> that will tell you which X you are trying to load
[05:10] <ManualOverDozer8> ok come back whether it works or not, let us know
[05:10] <evilGUI> wonder why kubuntu would just stop during the install...
[05:10] <tympaniplayer> ok
[05:10] <VladimirMelo> is there a MOTU channel?
[05:10] <evilGUI> I'm installing it through wubi
[05:11] <evilGUI> also is it even possible that it messed with windows

[05:11] <VladimirMelo> thanks
[05:11] <NewbieKH> <jpg header><jpg contents><jpg footer><rar header><rar contents><rar footer> is what i want to happen in 1 file
[05:11] <PorkSoda> Any one have experience running x11vnc via SSL? Similar to the following: x11vnc -forever -usepw -ssl SAVE -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -noxdamage
[05:13] <evilGUI> mabye linux doesn't work on my system?
[05:13] <PorkSoda> I can conne3ct with a vnc viewer directly, over ssh,, and via normal non secure http java applet.. With https, it asks for the cert, sends/accepts it etc, and the password dialog pops up, but when I enter it, I get a connection refused erroe.
[05:13] <unavailable> evilGUI: maybe you should ditch wubi and try installing the normal way?
[05:14] <unavailable> evilGUI: mind you AFTER A FULL SCANDISK AND DEFRAG of windows
[05:14] <evilGUI> this computer doesn't have a burner
[05:14] <unavailable> evilGUI: order a free cd then
[05:14] <NewbieKH> USB it?
[05:14] <rong> hey all
[05:14] <RequinB4> !hi | rong
[05:15] <iris> hello, ive got a hp dv 2000 notebook, and t is not detecting any flash memories...
[05:15] <unavailable> evilGUI: it takes about 2 weeks and comes with stickers
[05:15] <NewbieKH> evilGUI: make a bootable USB stick for the installer
[05:15] <evilGUI> Yeah I wanted to install Kubuntu with KDE4 is it unstable?
[05:15] <unavailable> evilGUI: or you could go that route, and if you dont have a usb stick,  heh, use a camera
[05:15] <rong> Anyone know how to fix the sound after I install my ati driver opensource way with kernel 2.6.25.
[05:16] <evilGUI> I only have a 512MB stick lol
[05:16] <rong> I have no sound during login and logout
[05:16] <unavailable> evilGUI: you have a digicam or ipod or psp?
[05:16] <rong> I have ati hd 2400 pro
[05:16] <evilGUI> a iPod though it's just a 1GB
[05:17] <NewbieKH> evilGUI: that'll do
[05:17] <unavailable> evilGUI: 1 gb is > 700 megs
[05:17] <iris> hello, i go a hp pavilion dv2000 and it is not detecting my memory stick.... what do i need to install??
[05:17] <midus> i need help. im really having a hard time trying to install guess additions. i go through all the commands to run it and as soon as it asks for my password..the terminal wont let me type anything
[05:17] <rong> it seem that ati 8.7 drive maybe cause the sound to stop in pulseaudio or something
[05:17] <evilGUI> also should I just give up on kubuntu?
[05:18] <rong> so any idea here?
[05:18] <evilGUI> and my video card is a unichrome is it even worth installing someone told me that card doesn't work well with ubuntu
[05:18] <bunz> midus: just type your password and press enter
[05:18] <bunz> it won't show what you're typing for security reasons
[05:18] <yanger> inflex hmm.. so i decided to review my temps via lm-sensors.. and i got this: http://pastebin.ca/1091463
[05:18] <fanum0n3> iris, was it previously running windows and the memory stick was working there?
[05:18] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8: i dont get a consol prompt anywhere
[05:18] <yanger> inflex it looks, ok, right?
[05:18] <ramontayag> hi everyone. i need to install the latest version of Vim in Hardy heron (beyond what is available in the default repositories).  I need to apply all patches.  I've tried prevu but it doesn't seem to work.  What should I do?
[05:18] <midus> bunz it wont let me type the password
[05:19] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer ok let me understand this, all you see is console prompt ? no gui?
[05:19] <rong> hmm guess not
[05:19] <tympaniplayer> no consol prompt
[05:19] <unavailable> evilGUI: its worth a try, if you can get your ipod bootable with the iso contents (not the iso itself, but you probably know that) on it you can run livecd from there
[05:19] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer lol nice one
[05:19] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer then what do you see ?
[05:19] <ramontayag> i've tried downloading the source then compiling it myself but then synaptic tells me i have broken packages.
[05:20] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer: the ubuntu logo and the loading screen....then it becomes a blank screen.....if i hit a key it beeps
[05:20] <ramontayag> i mean, it worked, but the broken packages were removed automatically when i updated again
[05:20] <chipbuddy> I've been trying to get ati restricted drivers on 8.04 to work, but i've had a lot of problems. So just now i installed 7.10 and it looks like restricted drivers are working just fine. what gives? why does this work in one version of ubuntu, but not the other?
[05:20] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer oh that makes a difference
[05:20] <mordof> ok, questions about folder permissions.. i've never quite gotten the hang of this. my user: "server" my group: added myself to "wwwstuffs" folder perms  drw-rwSr-x  server wwwstuffs (date) www... when i try to cd into the folder, i get permission denied. i don't know why
[05:21] <mordof> but i'm looking to set that folder so that everyone in the group wwwstuffs has full read/write permissions, even if one user makes a new file, the other should be able to edit..
[05:21] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8: i just activated my graphics card...if that has anything to do with it
[05:21] <ManualOverDozer8> RequinB4 : blank screen after GRUB ?
[05:21] <fanum0n3> anyone in here associated with the elbuntu proj?
[05:21] <mordof> (afaik  chown g+s folder    or something of the sort (i forget exactly) makes it so that it keeps the permissions even on new files..
[05:21] <Blaqlight> lol
[05:22] <SeveredCross> win 23
[05:22]  * unavailable is smoking
[05:22] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  you can try and start from Recovery-Mode and then maybe you can do the fix
[05:22] <mordof> anyone able to help me sort this out?
[05:22] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  if its blank after GRUB not much you can do from there
[05:22] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8: when i start from recovery mode...what should i expect..because i tried doing that and it got hungup at one point
[05:22] <rong> well I'm going to do some search later all
[05:22] <Feldegast> when i boot up, it hands at runit 2, any sugestions?
[05:22] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  try recovery-mode then do the needed repairs.
[05:23] <Feldegast> *hangs
[05:23] <Ubuntong> I installed Firefox 3.0 in Gutsy now I can't see flash content online. What do I need to do to get flash to work?
[05:23] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8: i also have the livecd if that would help
[05:23] <RequinB4> tympaniplayer: if it gets hung up, try pressing control+d
[05:23] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer: recovery-mode is comparable to safe-mode in windows
[05:23] <iris> hello, my hp laptop s not detcting my memory stick
[05:23] <tympaniplayer> ok
[05:23] <tympaniplayer> ill try that
[05:23] <SeaPhor> mordof, have you tried chmod and do you know how the #s work, ?
[05:23] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer: try recovery-mode first, and then if you cant get into the system, then maybe LiveCD
[05:23] <tympaniplayer> ok
[05:24] <scribawf> !filelist
[05:24] <evilGUI> also I have 2 partitions on this drive one for backup if I install ubuntu to the 9GB one will the 42 be left alone?
[05:25] <Feldegast> when i boot up, it hangs at runit 2, any sugestions to allow my to boot ubuntu?
[05:25] <mordof> SeaPhor: i've played with chmod, the only one that allows me to have access is 775, but that seems like a large amount of permissions for just read and write. i'm only somewhat familiar with the system for the #s and what they do.. 4 r, 2 w, 1 x? i think, user.. group.. others.
[05:25] <yanger> thanks all
[05:25] <unavailable> evilGUI as long as you manually do the partition editing you *should* not run into problems (provided you know what youre doing)
[05:25] <unavailable> !gparted
[05:26] <SeaPhor> mordof, close,, Owner, Owner's group, and all others
[05:26] <mordof> SeaPhor: if the folder is owned by my user, and the group that my user is in.. has read write for both user and groups.. i don't see why my user wouldn't have permission to view the folder.. that's what is confusing me - there's still some stuff i don't understand about all the user permissions on linux
[05:26] <unavailable> evilGUI: again before you do anything...   SCANDISK DEFRAG SCANDISK
[05:26] <evilGUI> I tried a defrag it says it doesn't need to be done
[05:27] <SeaPhor> mordof, is this a shared directory, or a ftp dir?
[05:27] <mordof> SeaPhor: ftp for web server (so viewed by apache as well)
[05:27] <Tell360> retlaw:  hi
[05:27] <unavailable> evilGUI: during the install process (unless you have a partition ready for ubuntu) you are going to be asked to make one
[05:27] <anom01y> I am trying to follow the instructions to upgrade to kde 4.1, but I get errors when using apt, see here http://www.pastebin.ca/1091464
[05:27] <Ubuntong> I installed Firefox 3.0 in Gutsy now I can't see flash content online. What do I need to do to get flash to work?
[05:28] <Tell360> I feel sorry for anyone who has to drive in this sort of weather.
[05:28] <evilGUI> So can I just format this windows 9GB and use it?
[05:28] <whta> i'm not getting any sound in zsnes, so i tried loading alsamixer and it just says "No mixer elems found". what does this mean?
[05:28] <Tell360> retlaw: I feel sorry for anyone who has to drive in this sort of weather.
[05:28] <PorkSoda> Hey guys, do you know any tricks that may bring a running app back to the foreground. A program I'm running, say "xchat"'s tab on gnome-toolbar disappeared, and now I am unable to recover it although it is still running correctly in the background, killall gnome-panel/metacity --replace/ tab + alt do not work.
[05:28] <PorkSoda> Any ideas.
[05:28] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8:recoverymode doesnt work
[05:28] <Tell360> retlaw: I have nothing on(for) this evening.
[05:28] <SeaPhor> mordof, ok,,, so another app "owns" that dir or at least controls through a ~.conf file,,, in that file you need to set the UMASK
[05:28] <tsuna27> i can no longer use the alt+f2 shortcut
[05:28] <tympaniplayer> i have had the weirdest problems
[05:28] <retlaw> Tell360: You confusing me someone else?
[05:29] <tsuna27> how can i get it bak
[05:29] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  not good. are you dual-booting linux with windows on the side ?
[05:29] <evilGUI> anyway it's time to try and install this
[05:29] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8: no
[05:29] <mordof> SeaPhor: i just made the directory with my user account using sudo  (/www)
[05:29] <Maeva> Ubuntong: you need the flashplugin-nonfree to install
[05:30] <SeaPhor> mordof, in what parrent dir?
[05:30] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8:it was working fine..then i installed the drivers for my graphics, then restarted
[05:30] <Feldegast> an0n1m8t3r: it looks like you are trying to install packages that are conflicting with eachother
[05:30] <mordof> SeaPhor: /www
[05:30] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  i dotn know i can help you with that problem, but, i can suggest some webpages to look at concerning it. i dont like messing with peoples GRUB, i leave it to tthem
[05:30] <whta> ok apparently zsnes can't load alsa at all, and alsamixer just doesn't work. what can cause this?
[05:30] <Ubuntong> Maeva: I have that installed.  I tried reinstalling it also.
[05:30] <SeaPhor> mordof, so you made the www in the root dir?
[05:30] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  let me toss you the links, read them carefully, otherwize it can make the whole OS unbootable
[05:31] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8:ok :-( im fairly new at this
[05:31] <mordof> SeaPhor: yeah. if there's a better place (outside my home directory, since multiple users need to have rw access) i'll be happy to move it
[05:31] <Maeva> Ubuntong: in firefox there is an add-on called NoScript who can disable it
[05:31] <ajai> i tried mount: mount to NFS server '<IP_ADDRESS>' failed: System Error: Connection refused
[05:31] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  reinstall GRUB >  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto     forum post on this >http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=790886
[05:32] <ajai> anyone could tell me what would be the solution
[05:32] <ajai> i tried mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/myfile ./myfile/
[05:32] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  i cant help you much with the rest. i am not qualified to do so. i can suggest, but that is all
[05:32] <ajai> any takers?
[05:32] <SeaPhor> mordof, let me understand,, other users access this thru ftp? only or are other protocols involved? and what ftp server app do you use?
[05:32] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8:ok thank you for your help and time
[05:32] <unavailable> evilGUI: yes, but again you must choose wisely at the right screen >> see the manual partitoning https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/module-details.html#di-partition
[05:33] <ParkerW> I just bought the new IPOD Nano, anyone know how to add photos and a videos?
[05:33] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  maybe someone later on will have a fix for you, if you cant make anythign of it, so dont be afraid to ask
[05:33] <mordof> SeaPhor: proftpd. uses users in the system. also, users may ssh into the box from time to time. both my user and the other user are under the group wwwstuffs atm
[05:34] <Odd-rationale> !ipod | ParkerW
[05:34] <mordof> SeaPhor: sorry for the lack of info being given, i'm not sure what all plays a part in the solution to this. I greatly appreciate the help though :)
[05:36] <Stargazer> i just mounted an *.iso file, but i umounted it but now my Cd Drive won't open. any ideas ?
[05:36] <Odd-rationale> Stargazer: try "eject" in terminal
[05:37] <Maconga> eject button on the CD player
[05:37] <tympaniplayer> what is dual booting?
[05:37] <Odd-rationale> !dualboot | tympaniplayer
[05:38] <Stargazer> "device is busy" 2 times and then i got a failure for the eject command "eject: unmount `/media/cdrom0' failed"
[05:38] <Odd-rationale> tympaniplayer: it means having 2 or more operating system to boot
[05:38] <Odd-rationale> Stargazer: worse comse to worse. just shutdown and use a paperclip.. :)
[05:38] <ParkerW> !RockBox
[05:39] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  basically allows you to have Linux and another Operating System on the same machine, aloowing you to select between the choices of OS to boot
[05:39] <Stargazer> Odd-rationale: i've had this problem before but my only solution was to restart :( i hate restarting
[05:39] <Maconga>  tympaniplayer: its when you have 2 operating systems installed, and you select whick one to load.
[05:39] <tympaniplayer> ahh ok
[05:40] <Kernel> hmm im trying to mount a iso file using mount -o loop /file.iso /mnt/point but its not working and i see this in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m5dac490d     ive verified the download(sfv matched) but it will not mount
[05:40] <Maconga>  tympaniplayer: do you plan on dual booting ?
[05:40] <ManualOverDozer8> tympaniplayer:  is you are not dual booting, you still will see GRUB Boot Loader
[05:40] <MikeSeth> Kernel: either the disk is broken or the image wasn't burnt properly
[05:40] <tympaniplayer> i must be dual booting because it lets me pick between the OS that i have
[05:41] <Stargazer> MikeSeth: he's trying to mount the *.iso without burning a CD
[05:41] <Maconga>  tympaniplayer: What does the menu say ?
[05:41] <ManualOverDozer8> Maconga:  tympaniplayer>  having problems with blank screen after GRUB , resulting no gui or console
[05:41] <Kernel> MikeSeth: its a iso image. and i verified the download. its all there. and others do not have this issue
[05:42] <Sunabozu> yeah, i have a problem: i just plugged in an ubuntu box from way back in the day, and i cannot remember my login name, i can remember that it could only have had one of a total of three passwords
[05:42] <Sunabozu> how can i find the login name?
[05:42] <ManualOverDozer8> Maconga:   tympaniplayer > also Recovery-Mode wont boot correct either
[05:42] <midus> how come the resolution in my virtualbox guest unbuntu not go very high?
[05:42] <Stargazer> Kernel: sudo  mount -o loop -t iso9660 '/path/to/iso/file.iso'
[05:43] <Kernel> Stargazer: including the ''s?
[05:43] <Stargazer> yes
[05:43] <tympaniplayer> manualoverdozer8: someone suggested reinstalling from the cd
[05:43] <midus> the highest resolution it sais is 1280 x 768 for widescreen
[05:43] <Kernel> k
[05:43] <Gnea> I'm in the midst of a gutsy->hardy upgrade on a standard ubuntu desktop - toward the end of the upgrade, it starts generating locales and the system seems to be eternally stuck on en_AU.UTF-8...  i don't see the hd led blinking for several minutes now and gzip appears to be a defunct process from ps -axf, has anyone else had this happen and, if so, know how to solve it?
[05:44] <choudesh> Sunabozu, use the live CD, mount the HD and look at /etc/passwd or just look at /home
[05:44] <Kernel> Stargazer: hmm...u sure that syntax is right?
[05:44] <Maconga> Sunabozu: I would try running Ubuntu from a CD, then look on your hard drive for your username
[05:44] <Sunabozu> choudesh, thanks.
[05:44] <crimsun> Gnea: it's known.  You can generally kill the locale-gen processes, and the dist-upgrade should continue
[05:44] <Sunabozu> Maconga, thanks
[05:44] <Stargazer> Kernel: don't forget to add /media/cdrom0 OR make a /mnt/namehere
[05:44] <Flannel> Sunabozu: recovery console at boot, no liveCD needed.
[05:44] <midus> for a virtual box guest unbuntu, is 1280 x 768 the highest unbuntu resolution i can get?
[05:44] <Gnea> crimsun: got a url to back it up?
[05:44] <Sunabozu> Flannel, how?
[05:44] <iris> what do i need so my laptop detects my memory stick??
[05:45] <Flannel> Sunabozu: at GRUB, choose "recovery console"
[05:45] <TeslaTony> I'm trying to get an HP P1005 laser printer working on my system. Right now, if I try printing, it gets queued, then does nothing. Anyone know how to get it working?
[05:45] <Kernel> Stargazer: same error.
[05:45] <Feldegast> ubuntu at bootup starts runit 2 and then stops, any way to fix this?

[05:46] <Kernel> *a
[05:46] <Sunabozu> Flannel, thanks a bunch, that worked :D
[05:46] <MikeSeth> Kernel: just to be sure do a file(1) on it

[05:47] <MikeSeth> Kernel: oh
[05:47] <Kernel> MikeSeth: a file(1)?
[05:47] <MikeSeth> you dont need the cd to run steam games
[05:47] <MikeSeth> Kernel: foo(bar) notation means unix command foo documented in section bar
[05:47] <MikeSeth> Kernel: file(1) means man 1 file brings up the manual for the command
[05:48] <Kernel> MikeSeth: yea...but my inet connection is crap....i dont have 3 weeks to wait and download and use all my bw
[05:48] <MikeSeth> Kernel: oh

[05:55] <ssorrell> madwifi/wireless question:  Connected to (unsecured) wireless network.  cannot ping router or other machines on the network. no external access
[05:55] <Tell360> iris: ??
[05:55] <choudesh> Kernel, I am fairly certain that your iso is corrupt. If you have the orginal CD, you can use MD5SUM to check the checksum against.
[05:56] <iris> Maconga, ubuntu wont recognize my memory stick pro duo
[05:56] <Tell360> iris: Tell360 see you
[05:56] <[z]ne1> what best mp3 player you can suggest?
[05:56] <choudesh> Kernel, besides that, the only other thing is use a hex editor and stream out the files
[05:56] <Stargazer> ok, restarting fixed my locked CD Drive
[05:56] <amirman> how can i delete a user and their home directory?
[05:56] <Maconga> [z]ne1: just buy a ipod

[06:03] <Tell360> hello,help me
[06:03] <ssorrell> madwifi/wireless question:  Connected to (unsecured) wireless network.  cannot ping router or other machines on the network. no external access
[06:03] <Gnea> !ask | Tell360
[06:03] <Gnea> !wireless | ssorrell
[06:04] <Gnea> Feldegast: have you tried pressing enter?
[06:04] <ssorrell> Gnea, why is this not a wireless issue?
[06:04] <Feldegast> Gnea yes
[06:04] <ssorrell> my wired machines are working fine
[06:04] <amirman> [z]ne1: go to medibuntu.org add their repo and install mplayer from there
[06:04] <shane_> hows my conky look http://www.phisher1.us/uploads/Screenshot.png
[06:04] <Gnea> ssorrell: i wasn't aware that the AP was yours or not.
[06:05] <ssorrell> Gnea: yes, it's mine
[06:05] <ManualOverDozer8> ssorrell : i believe the keyword is > (unsecured)
[06:05] <Gnea> Feldegast: what about alt-F[2-6]?
[06:05] <Feldegast> Gnea i also tried to see if there was another tty i could login with and they were also dead
[06:05] <ManualOverDozer8> not that doesnt sound so nice
[06:05] <Gnea> ah
[06:05] <amirman> shane_: horrible
[06:06] <Gnea> Feldegast: is this a new installation or upgrade or just after you installed the tools to build a new kernel which you haven't built yet?
[06:06] <[z]ne1> amirman: have you tested that player? is it ok or you have any suggestion player that can do all
[06:06] <wbmj> Feldegast: reboot.....when Grub loads hit esc....then you con chose a kernel to load
[06:06] <[z]ne1> from video and audio playing
[06:06] <Gnea> Tell360: you seem to have a problem staying connected to irc.
[06:06] <Feldegast> just after i installed the tools to build a new kernel which i haven't built yet
[06:06] <ssorrell> Gnea: apparently the problem fixed itself, i love it when that happens
[06:07] <Gnea> ssorrell: lol
[06:07] <Feldegast> before that it was a fully working fully updated kubuntu 8.04 install
[06:07] <Gnea> Feldegast: hrm. have you tried recovery mode?
[06:07] <Feldegast> is that on the cd? or from the grub menu?
[06:08] <wbmj> Feldegast: reboot.....when Grub loads hit esc....then you con chose a kernel to load
[06:08] <Gnea> grub menu. when you start it up and it does the little countdown thing, press ESCape before it boots
[06:09] <Feldegast> oh yes, i tried that, same effect
[06:09] <moDumass> hey all, so once i  have gone through the setup for the new tablet, do i need to reboot, or restart x?
[06:09] <moDumass> im guessing so
[06:09] <dolphin_noel> i'm sorry the question allways sometimes disturbing you whith newbie questions :x ... but i'm here try to hide the user home directory to theother but when i do it ...
[06:10] <dolphin_noel> the applications dont work
[06:10] <dolphin_noel> someone knows how can i resolve this?!
[06:10] <pogay> Hello I have a Problem with Display
[06:10] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: and you used what command?
[06:10] <dolphin_noel> gnea permitions chown ...
[06:10] <Maconga> pogay: what is the problem ?
[06:10] <dolphin_noel> put list all files ...
[06:10] <dolphin_noel> and nathing :x
[06:10] <pogay> I have to Ubuntu 804 installations, one on a memory stick, and one a UBS-Drive.
[06:10] <Gnea> delcoyote: what did you type on the commandline, exactly?
[06:11] <Feldegast> - runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2 <- this is where it hangs
[06:11] <Gnea> uhm,
[06:11] <mlester> A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>this error is driving me crazy
[06:11] <RequinB4> how can I make the xorg process use less CPU
[06:11] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: what did you type on the commandline, exactly?
[06:11] <pogay> The strange thing, when i start the installation from the USB-Drive the screen doesn't come up. I copied Xorg.config, X11,
[06:11] <Maconga> pogay: is the resolution wrong ?
[06:12] <dolphin_noel> Gnea chown username1:username directory1
[06:12] <Gnea> RequinB4: don't run as many programs.
[06:12] <pogay> the strange thing. all instgallations work also the 7.10
[06:12] <mlester> I have tried what this post says http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=bb931c9b673e76fc787fda1776e94284&p=4952791&postcount=10 but no luck
[06:12] <dolphin_noel> cd directory2          chown username2:username2 directory1
[06:12] <RequinB4> Gnea: ok, do you mean threads or windows?
[06:12] <dolphin_noel> change the permitions nathing :x
[06:12] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: bad mojo. it should be:  chown username1:groupname directory1
[06:13] <Maconga> pogay: try installing from a CD, and not a USB ?
[06:13] <pogay> o.k. If I'm on the commandline, and gdm doesn't start up. I tryed also dpkg-reconfigure, with no effect
[06:13] <spsneo> has anybody used pintos ? How can I get it installed in ubuntu?
[06:13] <dolphin_noel> Gnea yes groupname ... the groupname is the username to ... that default dont?!
[06:13] <[z]ne1> can i use programs with KDE? like kmplayer instead of gnome-player?
[06:13] <pogay> the Installation of my UBS are totally correct, i start them with grub, from the usb-devices
[06:13] <wols> [z]ne1: yes
[06:14] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: this is *nix, commands are very specific, there is no margin for error.
[06:14] <Ashex> anyone know of a download accelerator?
[06:14] <hou5ton> Any ideas why the recording volume of my microphone is really low, even though I have the settings turned up high?
[06:14] <sea> aria2
[06:14] <Gnea> Ashex: call your ISP and tell them to give you more bandwidth.
[06:14] <wbmj> [z]ne1: you can use any player you want.....however adding KDE apps does drag in alot of dependencies
[06:14] <smguy> how can I add additional desktop screens besides the two the come with ubuntu?
[06:15] <Ashex> Gnea, funny
[06:15] <BigBuddha> how do i see if my firewall is on?
[06:15] <mordof> question.. i've got an ssh server set up with private/public key.. i did it on my normal user (named server for lack of a better name). i went to add a new user account, now when i try hers, it gives me: Permission denied (publickey).    not sure how to fix that. when i enable password auth - it acts funny..
[06:15] <ManualOverDozer8> Ashex:  most accelerator applications are fakes, very few actually do what they say
[06:15] <pogay> one diffence might be, that I installed the latest Installation (on the usb-Drive) with apt-get istall ubuntu-desktop (for the minimal CD)
[06:15] <dolphin_noel> Gnea it works ... im doing the command fine trust me the only problem is the permitions ... acesss the list files only looks itis not good only to can have acess to the subdirdir ... and the software work because if i give acess only ... in the directory ... they can see from who is the username
[06:15] <Maconga> Ashex: a program can NOT increase your download speed......
[06:15] <Rat409> Ashex: d4x,multiget,aria2 for starters
[06:15]  * Ashex sighs
[06:15] <Ashex> thanks
[06:15] <[z]ne1> is kmplayer and gnomemplayer same gui?
[06:15] <lee98632> I have down loaded an installed buntu XFCE For the PS3 and then had to wipe the drive ans I coul not  get my magnavox to stavlise, I was wondr is there a PS3 specic channel?
[06:15] <BigBuddha> in how do i see if my firewall is on
[06:15] <mordof> acts funny as in, with her user account, the user@server doesn't get displayed at the beginning in the terminal, and 'logout' doesn't work like it normally does with my account
[06:15] <Ashex> Download accelerators just open multiple streams to a server and download it in sections
[06:15] <Ashex> On windows I use reget
[06:15] <wbmj> [z]ne1: no
[06:16] <wols> Ashex: we know. that is bad for the network so linux doesn't do it
[06:16] <[z]ne1> which is better then?
[06:16] <sea> Actually Maconga: If you download something in pieces simultaniously it can sometimes be faster.
[06:16] <wols> !better | [z]ne1
[06:16] <Ashex> wols, I generally don't use them
[06:16] <pogay> o.k. let's look ath the installation, where X can't start, how can i check, the resolution parms?
[06:16] <Ashex> only when I need to grab something off one of my servers
[06:16] <evilGUI> Alright after installing the os I get brought to a black screen asking me to login
[06:16] <wbmj> [z]ne1: they all have their own merits.......personally I prfer VLC
[06:16] <wols> Ashex: I call BS and still don't care
[06:16]  * Gnea has a certain opinion on download accelerators that, due to channel policy, i will not be reiterating.
[06:16] <Ashex> wols, good to know
[06:16] <[z]ne1> thanx
[06:16] <shane_> VLC is discusting
[06:17] <ManualOverDozer8> Ashex:  with the badwidth available today, its hardly a need to cache pages, in an attempt to say it is making your connection faster, in which it is not
[06:17] <shane_> in windows it has a memory leak and uses all your resources
[06:17] <evilGUI> when I type startx it says fatal server error: no screens found
[06:17] <Ashex> it's not making the connection faster, just the download
[06:17] <Gnea> !offtopic | shane_
[06:17] <pogay> one thing, which could be different in all installation the modules loaded...
[06:17] <wbmj> shane: this is not a Windows IRC
[06:17] <Ashex> anyways, I'm not here to discuss the functions and theory of download accelerators
[06:17] <dolphin_noel> Gnea the problem is the permitions if i give "acess list files only" the sofftware dont work ... and i cant list the files and dirs ... the software only works if i give "acesss to read only" but there they can see my username ... and i'm try to hide the username directory nathing more :x
[06:17] <BigBuddha> Ubuntu support? i cant get a simple question answered
[06:17] <lee98632> hmm I wiped the hdd drive cause I tried to upgrade to 8.4 on the PS3 that bit the big one.. bad mistake
[06:17] <shane_> wbmj: good thing were talking about video players..
[06:17] <evilGUI> what's the command to set the video drivers to vesa?
[06:17] <spsneo> has anybody used pintos ? How can I get it installed in ubuntu or fedora?
[06:17] <mlester> so does no one know how to correct my problem
[06:18] <Feldegast> Gnea it does the samr in recovery mode
[06:18] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: ok, you need to learn how the chmod command works
[06:18] <chipbuddy> i'm running 7.10 right now, and i have all my graphics drivers and eye candy working just fine. But when i had 8.04 I could never get my graphics card to really work. What gives? why is it so much harder with 8.04?
[06:18] <BigBuddha> HOW DO YOU SEE IF YOUR FIREWALL IS ON'?
[06:18] <evilGUI> wish I could get my video working at all
[06:18] <gb__> hello all gm
[06:18] <Gnea> BigBuddha: by making sure your caps lock key is not illuminated.
[06:19] <lee98632> eh so 8.04 has issues other then the PS3?
[06:19] <gb__> hi guys , ot a question
[06:19] <gb__> anyone running paltalk on linux here?
[06:19] <BigBuddha> Gnea: wow you are really helpful, ty
[06:19] <Gnea> BigBuddha: i do what i can.
[06:19] <Maconga> lee98632: i think that Ubuntu 8.04 does not offically support the PS3......
[06:19] <evilGUI> connection reset by peer error in locking authority file
[06:19] <shane_> !offtopic | Gnea
[06:19] <Gnea> !iptables | BigBuddha
[06:20]  * Gnea looks at shane_
[06:20] <Ashex> Rat409, you know if any of those apps support authentication?
[06:20] <shane_> Gnea:  feeling is mutual
[06:20] <Gnea> shane_: careful.
[06:20] <killux> hey, what is a good torrent program with an autoshutdown feature?
[06:20] <adrian_> does a default install of hardy have a firewall operational
[06:20] <Maconga> Bittorent
[06:20] <shane_> Gnea: rephrase that in a sentence for me?
[06:20] <smguy> anyone here have eve online? and if so could someone help me install it?
[06:20] <elijah> which flash plugin offers best performance - adobe/swfdec/gnash?
[06:20] <wbmj> BigBuddha: once you have set-up a firewall front end it is started at boot....for example sudo ufw enable
[06:21] <wols> adrian_: why do you think you need a firewall?
[06:21] <lee98632> Marconga, I think your right, plus It don't support my PC lol
[06:21] <dolphin_noel> Gnea so what group i need to give acess?!
[06:21] <wols> smguy: #wine?
[06:21] <dolphin_noel> Gnea to te nautilus work
[06:21] <killux> Maconga: I heard that isnt really a good program
[06:21] <lee98632> what does it support?
[06:21] <Rat409> Ashex: not sure sorry
[06:21] <adrian_> why do i think i need a firewall
[06:21] <adrian_> well
[06:21] <pogay> Maconga:  do you have an idea, how tho reconfigure resoluton, because i might be resolution prob, the Grafical Display has a short time some strange lines on it.
[06:21] <BigBuddha> wbmj, PM?
[06:21] <dolphin_noel> Gnea whithout i show the username directory to the others ....
[06:21] <Ashex> Rat409, no problem
[06:21] <adrian_> id like to use some apps that would need to get out
[06:21] <smguy> huh?
[06:21] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: i'm not entirely sure what you want to accomplish...
[06:21] <hou5ton> Any ideas why the recording volume of my microphone is really low, even though I have the settings turned up high?
[06:22] <adrian_> i dont really think i need one
[06:22] <Gnea> hou5ton: did you enable the dB?
[06:22] <lee98632> befor you go programing that you will want to make a back up of your xorg file
[06:22] <wbmj> BigBuddha: ok
[06:22] <adrian_> as my router modem has  a firrewall anyhow
[06:22] <dolphin_noel> Gnea i'm try to hide the home directory and the software work to the persons dont know what is the username more diicult to crack dont you think?!
[06:22] <hou5ton> Gnea:  don't know ... how do I do that?
[06:22] <wols> adrian_: that is (afaik) not so easily doable as in windows. there are no "personal firewalls" in linux only "real" ones
[06:22] <lee98632> Its been a long time since I have done that
[06:23] <wols> adrian_: depending what connections this software makes you can still block. but usually not by program name
[06:23] <adrian_> so id like some useful information
[06:23] <iris> hello how do i make my memory stick reader work in ubuntu??
[06:23] <irc_bo1> i just downloaded an icon theme, debian installer from gnome-look.org. now, how to use the icons?
[06:23] <wols> adrian_: your router is the far superior firewall. "personal firewalls" don't work
[06:23] <lee98632> Eh I am trying to remeber how
[06:23] <lee98632> I can't even remeber the command structure fr the IRC any more
[06:23] <wols> adrian_: find first out what kind of connections said software makes
[06:23] <Gnea> hou5ton: type alsamixer in a terminal and see if Mic Boost is MM or not
[06:24] <adrian_> ip conections i think
[06:24] <Rat409> irc_bo1: sudo gdebi name.deb
[06:24] <ParkerW> ANyone have any idea how to put photos on a 3rd GEN IPOD nano!
[06:24] <adrian_> like for instance nicotine
[06:24] <lee98632> eh can some woen with a better memeory refresh mine on how to back up the xorg file
[06:24] <mlester> adrian: I think he means what port
[06:24] <adrian_> port 2234-2239
[06:24] <hou5ton> Gnea:  Mic Boost seems to be NOT enabled
[06:24] <Maconga> ParkerW: hang on, ill try my iPod
[06:25] <irc_bo1> sorry, rat409, i mean, they are already installed. but when i click on properties of an icon, i don't see them.
[06:25] <Ryan> Hi. Can anyone recommend a model of USB wireless adapter that will work out of the box with Ubuntu 8.04?
[06:25] <Gnea> hou5ton: that should fix it :)
[06:25] <wols> adrian_: those you can block, yes. use something like firestarter. gnea made the bot talk about iptables frontends before. read it
[06:25] <lee98632> Monoga is there a PS3 specific chanel
[06:25] <ParkerW> Maconga: Do you have the Video Nano?
[06:25] <wols> !hcl | Ryan
[06:25] <ParkerW> gtkpod is not working!
[06:25] <Maconga> ParkerW: Yes
[06:26] <evilGUI> when I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it doesn't give me a option to select the video driver
[06:26] <dolphin_noel> Gnea forget you cant only if you can give some acesss to some group like one groups can have acess ... to a few stuff
[06:26] <Maconga> lee98632: um i dont know
[06:26] <dolphin_noel> i dont know do this
[06:26] <ManualOverDozer8> lee98632 : cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/Xorg.backup
[06:26] <evilGUI> it just says somthing about keyboard crap
[06:26] <elijah> does anyone have any feedback on the flash player to use for ubuntu?
[06:26] <adrian_> hello
[06:26] <adrian_> wols
[06:26] <ManualOverDozer8> lee98632 do that as root
[06:26] <elijah> which flash plugin offers best performance - adobe/swfdec/gnash?
[06:26] <adrian_> wols

[06:26] <lee98632> ah ok
[06:26] <Ryan> ubottu: Thanks, I've already checked there, just wondering if anyone would recommend particular models.
[06:27] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  what issue are you haing with DEB , most just install with gDebi
[06:27] <evilGUI> also if I edit xorg.conf there isn't a place to put the video driver
[06:27] <mlester> elijah: I would go with the official adobe flash
[06:27] <Maconga> ParkerW: its the firmware on the ipod. the firmware on ipod nano 3rd generation is encrypted
[06:27] <smguy> well, i downloaded a deb file
[06:27] <gb__> elijah: flash works on linux / ubuntu
[06:27] <evilGUI> man I wish I could just start kde
[06:27] <gb__> i had no issue with firefox 3
[06:27] <smguy> when i double click it it opens the installer and says it's installed
[06:27] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy: right click on it, and open with gDebi
[06:28] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  then it is already installed
[06:28] <smguy> but when i go to applications and try to run it, it says that there is an incorrect pathway and I should get another copy
[06:28] <smguy> I've done that three times now
[06:28] <smguy> same incorrect pathway every times
[06:28] <smguy> time*
[06:28] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: one moment i'll see if i can find something that will help
[06:28] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  what package is it by chance ?
[06:28] <hou5ton> Gnea:  Yep ... that certainly puts the volume to it.  Thanks.
[06:28] <smguy> eve-online game client
[06:28] <ParkerW> Macongo: ANy idea how to hack it?

[06:28] <Gnea> hou5ton: np
[06:28] <Blinkiz> Hi. Every time I start my laptop with my 1680x1050 LCD monitor attached, the screen on my LCD is defaulting to 1440x900. I have my laptops monitor disabled. How can I make so ubuntu is having 1680x1050 as default and not 1440x900? I must manually set this every time my computer has booted the X. I have a nvidia geforce 8600 card in my laptop.
[06:28] <smguy> for linux
[06:28] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy: they even make that for linux ?
[06:28] <smguy> yeah
[06:29] <smguy> they have several different kinds depending on the distrobution you have
[06:29] <smguy> i downloaded the ubuntu one
[06:29] <evilGUI> Yeah it's getting old
[06:29] <evilGUI> if I run the cd in live mode I get a GUI
[06:29] <wols> Blinkiz: check your Xorg.0.log why it doesn't choose 1650
[06:29] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy: what Distro you have ?
[06:29] <pogay> evilGUI:  Ihave serveral on the same display...
[06:29] <evilGUI> after the install I get nothing
[06:29] <Maconga> ParkerW: There is a .deb package that can decrypt the ipod. I have forgotten the name
[06:29] <wols> evilGUI: pastebin your Xorg.0.log then
[06:29] <smguy> what version of ubuntu?
[06:30] <Kattman> Ryan: why dont you check the store where you might buy for models , than check the fourms
[06:30] <ManualOverDozer8> lsb_release -a			version
[06:30] <evilGUI> how can I copy the text if I just have the command line?
[06:30] <ParkerW> Can you research it? I haven't any idea where I would even start

[06:30] <wols> evilGUI: install that
[06:30] <chipbuddy> I tagged a bunch of photos with fspot, but then i reverted ubuntu back to 7.10. when i opened up fspot again, can i use the tags i already made? or will i have to do it all over again?
[06:30] <Maconga> ParkerW: I am
[06:30] <ParkerW> Thanks
[06:30] <evilGUI> how I don't have internet access
[06:31] <evilGUI> on that machine
[06:31] <wols> evilGUI: that's clearly a lie. or you are a fata morgana here and I waste my time
[06:31] <evilGUI> how is that a lie?
[06:31] <smguy> ManualOverDozer8: I have linux 8.04
[06:31] <wols> you are here. this is the internet. you have internet access
[06:31] <smguy> err
[06:31] <evilGUI> I'm using mirc o this machine
[06:31] <smguy> ubuntu 8.04
[06:31] <lee98632> grr dcing...issues
[06:31] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  in terminal (will tell you version/distro info) > lsb_release -a
[06:31] <wols> you still have internet access and therefore can download a package
[06:32] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy: did you get the DEb from eve-online ?
[06:32] <pogay> I cant' figure out, when from 5 Installations for my desktop just one can't start xdm (with the same hardware)
[06:32] <evilGUI> Yeah but I don't have any wifi drivers installed on the other machine
[06:32] <Maconga> ParkerW: try this "sudo apt-get install libgpod"
[06:32] <evilGUI> I can't even startx
[06:32] <Tell360> TestXYZ: hi
[06:32] <smguy> yes
[06:32]  * wols puts evilGUI on autoignore for ignorance
[06:32] <TestXYZ> hello :)
[06:33] <Tell360> TestXYZ:  ;)
[06:33] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy: i will look to see what i can find. i am not familiar with it, as it may not even be an ubuntu issue to begin with. but i will look
[06:33] <Tell360> TestXYZ:  你用opera吗？
[06:33] <TestXYZ> ?
[06:33] <smguy> when i type lsb_release -a nothing happens
[06:33] <evilGUI> whats wols deal? I can't install wifi drivers if I can't get into kde
[06:34] <Tell360> TestXYZ: ?
[06:34] <ParkerW> Ah, Maconga, give me a second.
[06:34] <[z]ne1> anyone here using nx server and client? can someone help me how to install this steps by steps
[06:34] <ParkerW> It's running the Update right now.
[06:34] <Tell360> TestXYZ: china?
[06:34] <moDumass> booya and i am back
[06:34] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  if you type that in a Terminal window, it certainly should
[06:35] <smguy> ah okay
[06:35] <smguy> got it
[06:35] <smguy> was typing it into the run application menu
[06:35] <moDumass> man messing with xorg.conf to get your wacom tablet going is well, scary as hell
[06:35] <Maconga> PawkerW:alright.
[06:35] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  i will check out the DEB myself, give me a few mins
[06:35] <smguy> thank you
[06:35] <Blinkiz> wols: Okay, xorg.0.log contains one interesting thing. High up in the file, my LCD is detected as "(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1680 x 1050". But at the bottom, is the line "(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1440x900"". I don't get it.
[06:35] <gb__> so no one running paltalk guys?
[06:35] <rajasun> Tell360: try #ubuntu-zh maybe i.e. type /j #ubuntu-zh
[06:35] <wols> Blinkiz: in between there is more
[06:36] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  now you are using gDebi to install it right ?
[06:36] <ParkerW> Maconga: can you pm me?
[06:36] <smguy> yes
[06:36] <evilGUI> is it too much to ask for the freaking os to give me a gui
[06:37] <smguy> this is the error message I get: "An error occurred while trying to apply an update to EVE Online for Linux. The directory /home/james/.cedega/EVE Online does not seem to exist. If you renamed the folder, please unrename it. If that doesn't work, you might need to obtain a fresh install of the game."
[06:38] <wols> smguy: does the dir exist?
[06:38] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: any luck yet?
[06:38] <Tell360> 和咯
[06:38] <smguy> no
[06:38] <smguy> the only thing in .cedega is configuration_profiles
[06:39] <wols> smguy: then create it?
[06:39] <smguy> hmm okay
[06:39] <pogay> Guys with gdm problems. there is a log in /var/log/gdm... (I found at least a hint what is wrong in my inst)
[06:39] <Tell360> hello,help me !
[06:39]  * Gnea sighs
[06:39] <dolphin_noel> Gnea a litle ... chown 700 looks it dont work the same way that nautilus permitions ... somethings looks it make diferent
[06:39] <Gnea> Tell360: what is your problem?
[06:39] <dolphin_noel> but i'm testing :x
[06:40] <Gnea> !ask | Tell360
[06:40] <Blinkiz> wols: Well, am not an expert at this. Care to look? http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/dda3b43f . I have a TV connected at the moment but it's the same problem when I have it disconnected.
[06:40] <pogay> it can be a font problem ...
[06:40] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: ah - do you want other users to write or just read?
[06:41] <Gnea> !cn | Tell360
[06:41] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  i didnt find a problem with it, i dont have an acct, dont know what to tell you other than check the FAQ on the site
[06:41] <smguy> hmmm
[06:41] <smguy> okay
[06:41] <smguy> how do i remove the app?
[06:41] <carcotasu> Hi everybody! how do i install my wireless card?
[06:41] <wols> Blinkiz: is 1440x900 in your xorg.conf?
[06:42] <wols> !wlan | carcotasu
[06:42] <bullgard4> What does the letter 'f' stand for in the fping command?
[06:42] <Blinkiz> wols: It shouldn't be. But I take a look. w8
[06:42] <Rat409> smguy: sudo apt-get remove --purge appname
[06:42] <carcotasu> tenx
[06:42] <wbmj> smguy: if you use gDebi to load an app it will be listed in Synaptic
[06:42] <blarg> Oi,., how do you remove firefox and all its plugins? When i try to visit a few sites it makes the browser completely hang and the system with it... causing a reboot ...
[06:42] <wbmj> blarg: which version
[06:42] <ManualOverDozer8> smguy:  uninstall isntructions > http://support.eve-online.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=391
[06:43] <blarg> wbmj: of firefox or ubuntu?
[06:43] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/HOWTO_Chmod
[06:43] <wbmj> blarg:firefox
[06:43] <blarg> wbmj: honestly im not sure how to check
[06:43] <Blinkiz> wols: Nothing in xorg.conf. The monitor section look like this: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d5907408e
[06:44] <wols> Blinkiz: but you can change to 1650x1050 after it's started?
[06:44] <Blinkiz> wols: Yes, no problem at all
[06:44] <dolphin_noel> Gnea the problem looks it nautilus it is from some group and when i do it ... the nautilusdont work ... the directory
[06:44] <wols> Blinkiz: I'd add the 1650 res in xorg.conf and force it that way
[06:44] <blarg> 3.0.1
[06:44] <blarg> sorry im a little drunk.
[06:44] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: ok, try this: chmod 755
[06:44] <wbmj> blarg:then it is probably 3.0.......been some issues with it.....I use firefox-2...it is in the repos and will use your already installed plugins
[06:44] <Blinkiz> wols: okay, what should I type?
[06:45] <Gnea> blarg: how many beers? :)
[06:45] <wols> I dunno. read manpages
[06:45] <dolphin_noel> Gnea lets me make one reboot to see if it work ...
[06:45] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: ok
[06:45] <blarg> Gnea - half a fifth of 92 proof rum and im on my second beer.
[06:46] <Gnea> blarg: going for a headspin? i'm only on beer #2.
[06:46] <Gnea> and that, is where i will stop it.
[06:46] <usser_> Gnea, but u've gotta go on
[06:46] <blarg> but yah ... wbmj 3.0.1 , you say firefox-2 is more stable? my girlfriend is addicted to myspace and likes videos/music.. i more of a console kid., aslong as i have lynx and wget im fine [ with zgv of course ]
[06:46] <dolphin_noel> Gnea dont leave login ...
[06:46] <Blinkiz> wols: You can see my xorg.conf here: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d131a25d2
[06:46] <Schijnn> Couldd someone help me with a permissions problem?
[06:47] <Gnea> usser_: young padewan, one day you too will learn the ways of the force...
[06:47] <Maconga> Schijnn: what is the problem ?
[06:47] <blarg> Gnea it was a friends birthday , i got him a bottle of rum and he couldnt drink it , so i tried. heh
[06:47] <wbmj> blarg:Firefox-2 is the last stable 2.0 series
[06:47] <Gnea> blarg: :)
[06:47] <wols> Blinkiz:     Modes           "nvidia-auto-select"
[06:47] <Blinkiz> wols: Aha..
[06:48] <Schijnn> I'm trying to download files to a second physical drive in my computer, but it refuses, saying I don't have permission.  When I try to change permissions on the drive, it says 'Operation Not Permitted'
[06:48] <dolphin_noel> Gnea i think itis more complicated then one simple chown or chmod
[06:48] <Paulie> hello , does anyone here know how to make the button on my bluetooth headset work with bluez ?
[06:48] <blarg> wbmj: How do i completely remove the firefox i have installed and all the extra plugins etc i have installed do you know?
[06:49] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: explain yourself
[06:49] <blarg> elijah thats an awesome nick .. a great biblical name.
[06:49] <Maconga> Schijnn: try mounting the Second hard drive ?
[06:49] <wols> blarg: dpkg -l |grep firefox
[06:49] <wols> blarg: but I'd first try with a new firefox profile
[06:49] <pogay> bullgard4: it might be file (as it's used in scripts)
[06:49] <blarg> wols - so find the firefox dir ; then rm the profile files?
[06:49] <dolphin_noel> Gnea if i know i was not asking because i know work whith chown and chmod :x
[06:49] <wols> shingouz: ntfs or fat32 filesystem there?
[06:50] <dolphin_noel> i think
[06:50] <dolphin_noel> lol
[06:50] <wols> blarg: no, not rm
[06:50] <dolphin_noel> :x
[06:50] <dolphin_noel> :)
[06:50] <Schijnn> Maconga - It is mounted
[06:50] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: but you are working on the same system, not across nfs or samba?
[06:50] <blarg> chmox +x firefox
[06:50] <Rat409> blarg: try firefox -P
[06:50] <blarg> ;/
[06:50] <wols> Schijnn: ntfs or fat32?
[06:50] <moDumass> hey all, um, plugged in a wacom tablet, uncommented some stuff in xorg.conf and now, everything is all messed up, this is my xorg.conf file, is there something here that i am missing?
[06:50] <moDumass> sorry
[06:50] <Schijnn> wols - fat32
[06:50] <blarg> rat thanx
[06:50] <blech> could someone tell me the difference between KDE4 themes and Plasma themes? Do KDE themes modify windows and plasma themes the widgets? (and does this mean that the plasma theme is the one that will affect my taskbar?)
[06:50] <Schijnn> My NTFS drive is working fine
[06:50] <Blinkiz> wols: I believe this is correct to add: Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1680x1050 +0+0"
[06:50] <wbmj> blarg: a lot of other apps in Gnome use the FF backends, but you could always use Synaptic with completely remove then the config files will show up in the status section
[06:51] <wols> Schijnn: mount the fat32 properly. man mount. see uid, gid and umask options
[06:51] <Blinkiz> wols: Can this be correct?
[06:51] <moDumass> http://pastebin.com/dc91da53
[06:51] <wols> Blinkiz: why do you ask me? why not, I dunno, TRY?
[06:51] <blarg> i tried to use synaptic to delete firefox - then i reinstalled firefox and it still froze and acted dumb.
[06:51] <blarg> i think downgrading to firefox 2 is a great idea
[06:51] <dolphin_noel> Gnea only linux ... ubuntu nathing more :x
[06:51]  * Gnea hands wols a belgian white
[06:51] <Blinkiz> wols: I try it. brb
[06:52] <punkrockguy318> Hey, the project that i've been working on has just put together a major release that I'd like to see get updated in Ubuntu.  Who can I talk to about this?
[06:52] <crimsun> punkrockguy318: probably the folks in #ubuntu-motu
[06:52] <punkrockguy318> ty
[06:52] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: so, did you try 755?
[06:52] <Schijnn> wols - I assumed it was vfat?  Is that wrong?
[06:52] <wols> Gnea: is that beer?
[06:52] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: how about 770?
[06:52] <Gnea> wols: yup
[06:52] <wols> Schijnn: no. but your mount options are incomplete
[06:52] <Gnea> wols: wheat ale, actually
[06:53]  * wols spits it out and crsses Gnea from his "gets a birthday card" list
[06:53] <bullgard4> pogay: In another channel someone argued f - flood, as in the similar -f switch of the ping command. Hwsat?
[06:53] <wols> giving me beer. how evil!
[06:53] <Gnea> eh?!
[06:53] <havocstorm> hi
[06:53] <stryd_one_> Hi all
[06:54] <blech> sorry, closed window accidentally
[06:54]  * Gnea reminds himself not to try to be nice toward wols anymore
[06:54] <stryd_one_> I hope someone can lend me some advice regarding the bash vs dash shell situation?
[06:54] <blarg> Gnea ., you should change your name to one-b-eer
[06:54] <blarg> ;p
[06:54] <havocstorm> hey guys
[06:54] <havocstorm> can you gimme a link to ubuntu off-topic?
[06:54] <bazhang> !ot
[06:55] <Gnea> stylus: /bin/sh uses dash now
[06:55] <blarg> For some reason when i hold down ctrl alt and press f-1 i dont get to a console
[06:55] <blarg> it sucks.. i hate it , whats the point of linux OR any *nix without a _real_ console?
[06:55] <havocstorm> umm
[06:55] <havocstorm> >.<
[06:55] <blarg> wb.
[06:55] <havocstorm> my firefox crashed
[06:55] <stryd_one_> gnea i'm aware of the general situation, i've read the 'dashasbinsh page and a few thousand posts from people arguing the thing
[06:55] <havocstorm> can you guys gimme the link again?
[06:55] <Schijnn> wols - ah, thanks.  What would you suggest for the umask value?
[06:56] <lackingfiness> does this server not allow you to connect through tor?
[06:56] <havocstorm> !ot
[06:56] <Gnea> havocstorm: have you considered irssi?
[06:56] <blech> I couldn't see the responses so I'll ask again, I guess. could someone tell me the difference between kde4 themes and plasma themes? do kde 4 themes affect window behavior and plasma themes affect widgets? Does this mean that I use plasma themes to affect my taskbar?
[06:56] <havocstorm> gnea, yeah I use chatzilla
[06:56] <dolphin_noel> Gnea maby the solution is creating one group ... to give acess to this group directory in the subdir ... and block the acount from /etcpasswd
[06:56] <havocstorm> gnea, the prob is that firefox crashes randomly in ubuntu for some reason
[06:56] <blarg> epic + sushi / BitchX + cypruss
[06:56] <blarg> grr
[06:56] <Gnea> stryd_one_: perhaps you could be a bit more specific as to what it is you would like to know?
[06:56] <naughtykid001> *newbie warning* I just install Hardy in vaio
[06:56] <stryd_one_> gnea: sorry i'm ust getting used to the traffic in here ;)
[06:57] <havocstorm> gnea,usually when I'm loading flash vids
[06:57] <naughtykid001> *newbie warning* however I couldn't enabled the compiz
[06:57] <stryd_one_> gnea: I suspect that other devs involved will prefer me to change the default shell to bash
[06:57] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: what about making a /home/group dir and then giving everyone in that group permissions to read/write to it?
[06:57] <stryd_one_> but i'm wondering if any of the OS scripts will be broken by my doing so?
[06:58] <Gnea> stryd_one_: i typically don't mind it, unless i see a script go wonky, then i do an update-alternatives
[06:58] <wols> Schijnn: 022
[06:58] <dolphin_noel> Gnea like /home/x1 (group1 everything hiding chmod 700 and block the acess from etc/passwd) and then /home/x1/username2 (whith group from /home/x1 to can have acess to the subdir)
[06:58] <Gnea> stryd_one_: i doubt it
[06:58] <stryd_one_> wel, i have ascript going wonky
[06:58] <naughtykid001> *newbie warning* the graphic card I'm using is mobility 9200. I found that it's no longer supported by fglrx. Anyone encounter this before?
[06:58] <crdlb> naughtykid001: that is correct, but it is supported by the open source driver
[06:58] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: chmod 070 would probably be better
[06:58] <stryd_one_> it's the typical "the dev assume bin/sh was bash" situation
[06:59] <dolphin_noel> Gnea maby
[06:59] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: or 2070
[06:59] <havocstorm> !ot
[06:59] <hbomb> hey all, having some issues booting here, all changes to xorg conf were reversed, but still no go,
[06:59] <hbomb> kinit no resume image
[06:59] <stryd_one_> problem is - if we 'fix' the script for ubuntu, we break it for MSYS (DOS/windoze posix)
[06:59] <mordof> how do i get top to show tasks run only by a specific user
[07:00] <hbomb> then a login window, and then is says ubuntu is running in low graphcs mode
[07:00] <hbomb> why gosh darnit, whyyyy?
[07:00] <Gnea> who cares about DOS/Windows? :)
[07:00] <naughtykid001> crdlb: I install the open-source driver already. But still in vain
[07:00] <hbomb> ps any help would be awesome
[07:00] <Maconga> i care about windows.....
[07:00] <stryd_one_> gnea: all the n00bs using our software
[07:00] <crdlb> naughtykid001: what issues are you having with it?
[07:00] <crdlb> naughtykid001: it's installed and set up by default
[07:00] <Gnea> the rhetoric is stunning.
[07:01] <dolphin_noel> Gnea that it maby the only way that probably can work ... :)
[07:01] <debCarlos> lol
[07:01] <stryd_one_> aso it has been pointed out - using the /bin/bash shabang, assumes the location of bash, so it's really breaking it for solaris etc also
[07:01] <woo> 我用爱立德软件，可是在应用程序中找不到相应的软件，请问如何解决？
[07:01] <naughtykid001> crdlb: I couldn't enable the desktop effects
[07:01] <crdlb> stryd_one_: then use /usr/bin/env bash
[07:01] <Rat409> !cn | woo
[07:02] <crdlb> stryd_one_: or don't use bashisms; it's not that hard
[07:02] <woo> 3 Q
[07:02] <stryd_one_> it's not my script
[07:02] <crdlb> naughtykid001: yes, ubuntu has a rather excessive blacklist
[07:02] <smguy> how can I delete a folder if I can't see it?
[07:02] <dolphin_noel> Gnea i see one server that we cannost even see the others home dirs ... in /home and they can acess to they
[07:02] <stryd_one_> i'm just the guy who will have to explain why it works everywher but my OS
[07:02] <Gnea> stryd_one_: you have 2 choices then: change the script or change the system
[07:02] <crdlb> naughtykid001: please join #compiz-fusion
[07:03] <naughtykid001> crdlb: I doesn't need great desktop effects, however I do wish to have the transparency...
[07:03] <naughtykid001> crdlb: ok
[07:03] <stryd_one_> i could probably convince de primary dev to change the script, but enly if i can give him a solution that is more portable than the existing one which will work everythere but ubuntu and solaris
[07:03] <smguy> can anyone tell me how to delete a folder that I cannot see?
[07:03] <debCarlos> smguy: Hi :D, you can do a rm -r folder in console or ctrl+h for see it
[07:03] <wols> smguy: ls -al and you can see it
[07:04] <Gnea> smguy: see it first with ls -al
[07:04] <stryd_one_> at the moment, the scripts are called like 'sh script.sh"
[07:04] <blarg> ubuntu is pretty much community based? i have 2 problems. a] i CANT get to a real console cntrl alt f* doesnt work .. 2] firefox freezes on any multimedia website....
[07:04] <blarg> any help?
[07:04] <stryd_one_> i figure i could get him to change it to sh -c ./script.sh
[07:04] <stryd_one_> and use a shabang to call the correct handler.... but what shabang to use that will work everywhere, is the big question I guess
[07:04] <wols> blarg: a plugin is probably freezing ffox. flash is the prime suspect. as for the first one: what X video driver?
[07:04] <Rat409> blarg: check /etc/default/console-setup
[07:04] <ari_stress> blarg: really you cannot ctrl alt f* ?
[07:05] <Gnea> blarg: no, ubuntu *IS* community-based.
[07:05] <blarg> i swear i cant
[07:05] <smguy> okay
[07:05] <smguy> i did that
[07:05] <wols> ari_stress: some X drivers are broken
[07:05] <smguy> and it gave me a list of my files, withing t delete on it the one I'm try
[07:05] <ari_stress> blarg: that's new news to me
[07:05]  * wols looks at savage card
[07:05] <ari_stress> wols: really
[07:05] <socketbind> hi, it is impossible for me to enable acoustic management on my laptop, is there a way i can debug it?
[07:05] <smguy> with the one I'm trying to delete on it*
[07:05] <stryd_one_> crdlb said: /usr/bin/env bash ... is that going to work on other linux flavours, unix, and mac?
[07:06] <smguy> so from here, how do i delete it?
[07:06] <blarg> Rat409: i looked at the file but really dont gather anything from it
[07:06] <crdlb> stryd_one_: that'll work anywhere that has bash in the PATH
[07:06] <socketbind> the drive just ignores hdparm -M and dmesg shows nothing
[07:06] <blarg> maybe i should type setupcon ?
[07:06] <blarg> still no go.
[07:06] <stryd_one_> i personally believe the scripts are making erroneous assumptions so i'd prefer to fix them
[07:07] <smguy> nevermind, got it
[07:07] <wols> smguy: cd into it, rm -rf everything then cd .. and rmdir the directory
[07:07] <debCarlos> smguy: You can't delete a file?
[07:07] <stryd_one_> rather than mangle my OS which is really doing the right thing (convenient or not, it is)
[07:07] <smguy> I couldn't see the file
[07:07] <smguy> but I hit ctrl+h and it showed up
[07:07] <Rat409> blarg: i had to edit this line  ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]
[07:07] <blarg> im about ready to rm -rf / everything then reisntall
[07:07] <blarg> lol
[07:07] <stryd_one_> crdlb thanks for the hint, i'll try it
[07:07] <Rat409> i had none after install
[07:07] <Flannel> blarg: Please don't even mention that command
[07:07] <dolphin_noel> Gnea thanks for the help i tryto see bethertomorrow  if i catch something i tell you :)
[07:08] <bazhang> blarg, not funny
[07:08] <debCarlos> blarg: lol
[07:08] <blarg> Rat409: what did you have to edit it to?
[07:08] <dolphin_noel> cya good night  to all
[07:08] <dolphin_noel> :)
[07:08] <ari_stress> bye dolphin_noel
[07:08] <stryd_one_> also thanks for your advice gnea
[07:08] <Gnea> dolphin_noel: good luck :)
[07:08] <Rat409> blarg: 1-6
[07:08] <Gnea> stryd_one_: np
[07:09] <Rat409> blarg: or 1-9 whatever
[07:09] <blarg> hrmph.
[07:09] <blarg> so take out the "" 's ?
[07:09] <blarg> can you cat your file and show me what you have ?
[07:09] <smguy> FINALLY
[07:09] <socketbind> is there any other channel i can ask for help for my hard disk problem?
[07:09] <smguy> thanks everyone that helped me
[07:09] <debCarlos> smguy: :D
[07:09] <ari_stress> guys, any news on the pidgin bug where our avatar doesn't show?
[07:09] <Gnea> socketbind: what problem?
[07:10] <stryd_one_> crdlb assuming htat this works.... may i suggest that the wiki page be updated to include it?
[07:10] <stryd_one_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
[07:10] <smguy> anyone have any tips for increasing download speed?
[07:10] <socketbind> Gnea: it is impossible to enable Acoustic management for my drive. hdparm gets ignored, dmesg shows nothing. under linux i get heavy noises from the drive, under windows it is completely silent
[07:10] <crdlb> stryd_one_: I wasn't even aware that any systems would be silly enough to not put bash in /bin/bash :)
[07:11] <stryd_one_> having the shabang use the path, seems far more felxible than the method mentioned there (assuming /bin/bash)
[07:11] <Gnea> socketbind: what type of drive is it? IDE? SATA? SCSI?
[07:11] <Flannel> crdlb: /bin/bash is symlinked to bash.  not sh though.
[07:11] <stryd_one_> crdlb: nor was I until i spent a few hours reading the flamewars today :D
[07:11] <socketbind> Gnea: it is SATA,  WDC WD1600BEVS-75RST0 to be exact
[07:11] <crdlb> Flannel: yes, but he's complaining about solaris or something
[07:11] <Gnea> socketbind: hdparm only works with IDE drives.
[07:11] <crdlb> I guess this is veering offtopic ...
[07:11] <Rat409> blarg: http://www.pastebin.ca/1091537
[07:12] <UsMan> Downstream: 1.39 KBytes/s  Upstream: 0.04 KBytes/s
[07:12] <blarg> wow nuts - thanx...
[07:12] <socketbind> Gnea: oh, and is there any way for me to enable acoustic management on my sata drive?
[07:12] <gautam> hello all
[07:12] <stryd_one_> crdlb: yeh just general cross-platform functionality... i read that solaris and sun unix put bash elsewhere
[07:13] <debCarlos> !hi | gautam
[07:13] <gautam> thank you
[07:13] <moDumass> hey all, so ive got this wacom intous3 tablet, and i installed it, and now i can only use ubuntu in low graphics mode
[07:13] <debCarlos> :D
[07:13] <moDumass> any ideas?
[07:13] <MikeSeth> socketbind: not all drives support accoustic management
[07:13] <stryd_one_> and of course the dos version just has bash named sh.exe ...but that's a bug i'll take to the msys devs
[07:13] <blarg> i just looked at mine and active console is commented out or anything
[07:13] <blarg> lol
[07:13] <Gnea> socketbind: you could try sdparm or blktool
[07:13] <Gnea> socketbind: but i'm not sure. never bothered with it.
[07:13] <socketbind> MikeSeth: i really hope this one does as it is completely silent under windows but it is extremely noisy under linnux
[07:13] <socketbind> thank you gnea, i'm looking into it
[07:14] <debCarlos> socketbind: What?
[07:14] <redrebel__> okapi14, my system is currently kubuntu. but i wan to change it to xubuntu
[07:14] <redrebel__> i just installed xubuntu-desktop
[07:14] <Kanephren> This is probably something where I just have to change the numbers in the lines, but I've installed Ubuntu to a second HD and am unable to get past the bootloader.  Error 17: Cannot mount selected device.
[07:14] <debCarlos> redrebel: $ aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[07:14] <socketbind> debCarlos: ?
[07:15] <debCarlos> socketbind: What's silent under Windows and noisy under linux ?
[07:15] <gautam> Kanephren: hello
[07:15] <redrebel__> debCarlos, i already did that, what do i do after that?
[07:15] <socketbind> debCarlos: my hard drive
[07:15] <gautam> mount the system from live cd/ then fix the boot loader
[07:15] <debCarlos> socketbind: using a laptop?
[07:15] <socketbind> debCarlos: yes it is an asus
[07:15] <gautam> make sure partition numbers are correct
[07:16] <debCarlos> socketbind: mmmm, did you know about the "thing" with Ubuntu and laptops HD ?
[07:16] <cypha> anyone know how to sync evolution and outlook?
[07:16] <cypha> same computer
[07:16] <socketbind> debCarlos: you mean the problem with the power management, it wears off the drives prematurely?
[07:16] <Gnea> cypha: import
[07:16] <debCarlos> redrebel__: just start XFCE instead of KDE when you login, and then (if you don't want KDE anymore) do aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop
[07:17] <debCarlos> socketbind: Yes...
[07:17] <socketbind> debCarlos: i disabled it just to be sure.
[07:17] <redrebel__> aight
[07:17] <debCarlos> redrebel__: forget that of uninstalling kubuntu-desktop, i don't know if its safe...
[07:17] <bazhang> debCarlos, more involved than that actually; see !puregnome for the details
[07:17] <Kanephren> Thanks gautam, Ubuntu takes up all of the second hd, and was thinking the problem might be something with how I have it connected as.  I'll follow the suggestion now, I was thinking I'd need to change the line of 'root (hd1,0)' to some oher unknown value.
[07:17] <smguy> !puregnome
[07:18] <smguy> >.>
[07:18] <bazhang> debCarlos, that is a meta-package only
[07:18] <legend2440> moDumass: well for one thing i would put the # back in front of    Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet
[07:18] <stryd_one_> what's this about laptop drives and power management? lack of power management won't wear out a drive.
[07:18] <socketbind> debCarlos: power management isn't that important to me, but i really wish that there is a way to enable acoustic management. i can't stand the noise
[07:18] <debCarlos> bazhang: oh, ok
[07:18] <debCarlos> socketbind: Ok
[07:18] <redrebel__> i just want to do the switch from kde to xface, including the login manager
[07:18] <debCarlos> socketbind: there is
[07:18] <gautam> Kanephren:  good luck
[07:18] <bazhang> redrebel__, do so in sessions at login window
[07:18] <Gnea> sleepy time
[07:19] <stryd_one_> night gnea and thx again!
[07:19] <debCarlos> socketbind: But i don't know much about it, and i think you should read/ask about it, the way is doing hdparm -M value (changing value with a number) :D
[07:19] <nnull> guys i tried to upgrade to hardy from Gutsy last night via uptdate manager, and its got 6 mins left till finishing installing new updates. and its not moving anymore, what do i do??
[07:20] <Gnea> nnull: what did it stop on?
[07:20] <Rat409> nnull: try ctrl+c then run the command again
[07:20] <Flannel> no.  Don't ctrl-c it
[07:20] <redrebel__> whats klogd? is is part of kde?
[07:20] <nnull> generatiing locales.... En AU.UTF-8....
[07:21] <moDumass> legend2440, yeh i am doing that, but it seems to make no difference, which is a little random
[07:21] <nnull> right there Gnea
[07:21] <Gnea> redrebel__: no
[07:21] <stryd_one_> FYI, if you're recording video or audio or other timing-critical disk IO, leave accoustic management off.
[07:21] <Gnea> nnull: ha! i just had the same thing happen
[07:21] <nnull> Rat409, what command dude?
[07:21] <socketbind> debCarlos: hdparm gets totally ignored, maybe because it is only for IDE drives. strange thing that i've never heard of similar problems like mine as the hardware i use is extremely popular, what do you think should i file a bug or something?
[07:21] <nnull> u serious gnea
[07:21] <Rat409> nnull: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[07:21] <gautam> null i would just wait, wont ven touch a button
[07:22] <mkquist> hey all, how can I get a script to run at a specified time that requires sudo?
[07:22] <mkquist> automatically
[07:22] <Gnea> nnull: open a terminal and sudo killall -9 locale-gen  - don't worry about any other errors - when it's all over and reboots, just sudo dpkg --configure -a  from ctrl-alt-f1  before logging into the gui
[07:22] <nnull> gautam, i left it on overnight to finish.. it had 10 mins left when i wento sleep not its still on 6 mins like 10 hours later lol :<
[07:22] <wbmj> mkquist: man crontab
[07:22] <debCarlos> socketbind: maybe search in google, launchpad and ubuntu forums... and, maybe someone here knows what to do, you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic... i don't know what to do, i haven't installed Ubuntu yet in my laptop because i'm reading all documentation about HDs and Ubuntu :D
[07:22] <stryd_one_> mkquist: cron?
[07:22] <Gnea> nnull: yes. i just noticed that mine just stumbled across language-support-writing-en
[07:22] <redrebel__> do i need hal if i'm not using kde?
[07:22] <gautam> nnull:  lol ouch
[07:23] <pogay> bullgard4: another try to GDM-Start my USB-Disk... (Fonts), cul8ter9
[07:23] <mkquist> ty
[07:23] <gautam> be right back
[07:24] <legend2440> moDumass: if its a resolution problem   in terminal type     gksudo displayconfig-gtk   can you choose a better resolution?
[07:24] <Gnea> nnull: heh, i just nailed locale-gen again and it's going again
[07:24] <Dallas> how do i make a user have root privileges?
[07:25] <nnull> gnea yea same here dude
[07:25] <Dallas> for good, not just using sudo
[07:25] <Gnea> Dallas: make sure they can use sudo
[07:25] <debCarlos> nnull: I don't know exactly what you can do, but this just popped in my mind :D. Why don't you try going in livecd start and then in a terminal mount your system in /mnt, then chroot it and run dpkg --configure -a  ?
[07:25] <wols> !root | Dallas
[07:25] <nnull> gnea, why would we get the same error?
[07:25] <moDumass> legend2440 just going through the "ubuntu site - if you have problems with your wqacom tablet" walkthrough
[07:25] <nnull> debCarlos, dont have the livecd dude, only 7.10?
[07:25] <Gnea> nnull: it's a bug that's already been reported, actually
[07:25] <nnull> oh
[07:25] <Gnea> i just don't recall the #
[07:25] <Dallas> ...i know there you can use sudo but i want a user to have root privileges at all times
[07:26] <Flannel> bug 249340
[07:26] <Flannel> nnull, Gnea ^^
[07:26] <debCarlos> nnull: oh... well, do you have floppys? And floppy support in the machine?
[07:26] <Gnea> Flannel: thanks :)
[07:26] <p4_xxx> hi
[07:26] <nnull> cheers flannel
[07:26]  * Gnea files a bug report
[07:27]  * nnull waits for hardy to install then files a bug report
[07:27] <nnull> :P
[07:27] <Dallas> how would i do that?
[07:27] <Flannel> Dallas: You don't want to.
[07:27] <Gnea> nnull: it asked me if i wanted to report it or not ;)
[07:27] <debCarlos> nnul: You mean your Ubuntu doesn't even start ?
[07:27] <Dallas> umm no im pretty sure i do thanks
[07:27] <nnull> pwhaor hax
[07:27] <Flannel> Dallas: For what purpose?
[07:27] <nnull> didnt ask me, i feel left out :<
[07:28] <Dallas> why does it matter? i know its a security risk
[07:28] <ManualOverDozer8> going outside is a security risk
[07:28] <bazhang> Dallas, login as root?
[07:28] <Flannel> Dallas: It matters because we might be able to figure another way to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish
[07:28] <stryd_one_> Does anyone know if the problems with persistent live installs on USB sticks are gone in intrepid?
[07:28] <Flannel> Dallas: And, we don't break people's installs in this channel. (which includes silly things like that)
[07:28] <bazhang> Dallas, login as root and irc as root?
[07:28] <bunz> Dallas: go install a different distro, it'll let you
[07:29] <nnull> this is taking longer to install than it took to download lol
[07:29] <wbmj> Dallas:man sudo
[07:29] <Dallas> .....i want to set up a user as root sorry i want to learn how to do that...im not some grandma that will be pwned by 1337 haxors omg omg!!!1!!11!!!
[07:29] <Flannel> Dallas: usually when someone comes into this channel with a request like that, it's because they don't fully understand their problem.
[07:29] <Flannel> Dallas: so, help us to understand your problem, and we can help you solve it.
[07:29] <p4_xxx> i have a q. when im working as a xxx user and want to see a file from another user yyy  i write this ion the konsole. sudo chown yyy:xxx 222.txt, but it does not work, i can copy from yyy to xxx desktop, the file 222.txt is -rw --- ---. can anyone help me plz?

[07:32] <jb_in_nyc> I just bought an eee off someone. He installed Ubuntu on it. It can see my wifi network,but it wont connect (and it doesn't ask for a password). Any ideas on how to feed it a password?
[07:32] <debCarlos> nnull: lol
[07:32] <nnull> kekek
[07:33] <bazhang> nnull, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:33] <p4_xxx> what can i do to be able to copy the file 222.txt -rw --- --- from yyy to xxx desktop and modify it?
[07:33] <Blaqlight> poor bot always getting tricked into saying something foolish for the sake of others enjoyment.
[07:33] <nnull> they have ubotu in ubuntu-offtopic? :D lol dw it was shortlasted champ im over it :)
[07:33] <usser> p4_xxx, give it world writable permissions
[07:33] <usser> p4_xxx, chmod 777 filename
[07:34] <jb_in_nyc> usser: any thoughts on my wifi trouble?
[07:34] <mordof> how do i populate a database or w/e so i can use locate?
[07:34] <Blaqlight> ofcourse the minute I say anything either a: the room dies, or b: my connection dies.
[07:34] <nnull> all my programs are closing unexpectacly
[07:35] <joshuajtl> hi does anyone know if the latest kubuntu kde4 remix iso have kde 4.1 on it? (im asking in #kubuntu and noone is answering)
[07:35] <usser> jb_in_nyc, update your wifi driver using http://code.google.com/p/eee-ubuntu-support/
[07:35] <jb_in_nyc> hello
[07:36] <xexos> hello
[07:36] <socketbind> hello!
[07:36] <nnull> gnea, its gone back to generating locales at the end... lol what do i do dude?
[07:36] <velvithammer> hi
[07:36] <bazhang> jb_in_nyc, the wiki at www.eeeuser.com has more on that; use the google script at your own risk
[07:36] <jb_in_nyc> thanks bazhang
[07:36] <jb_in_nyc> taking a look now
[07:36] <Gnea> bug 254356
[07:36] <bazhang> also #eeepc and !eeepc jb_in_nyc
[07:36] <Gnea> nnull: ^^^^
[07:36] <nnull> what do i do with that
[07:37] <Gnea> read it.
[07:37] <nnull> oh lol
[07:37] <nnull> i dont have a browser lol
[07:37] <Gnea> lynx
[07:37] <nnull> eh
[07:37] <Gnea> wait - are you in X or console?
[07:37] <nnull> x
[07:37] <ManualOverDozer8>  jb_in_nyc  connection problems ?
[07:38] <Gnea> FF will work
[07:38] <nnull> i dont have it installed
[07:38] <jb_in_nyc> ManualOverDozer8: yep
[07:38] <Gnea> impossible.
[07:38] <jb_in_nyc> ManualOverDozer8: my new eeeBuntu can see the wifi net
[07:38] <jb_in_nyc> but won't connect
[07:38] <jb_in_nyc> and never asks for a password
[07:38] <legend2440> mordof: sudo updatedb
[07:39] <ManualOverDozer8>  jb_in_nyc have you setup your /etc/network/interfaces file ?
[07:39] <jb_in_nyc> nope
[07:39] <jb_in_nyc> just bought the ee, used
[07:39] <ManualOverDozer8> try interminal (should be only 2 lines> cat /etc/network/interfaces
[07:40] <nnull> gnea so... u kill the program again right?
[07:40] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc:  linux was already on it ? or you do fresh install ?
[07:40] <mordof> legend2440: ty ^^
[07:40] <Gnea> nnull: yes.
[07:40] <nnull> no idea what all that stuff u added on that page is for
[07:40] <Gnea> the system just threw it all in there on its own
[07:40] <gavi> i have a computer that intermitantly boots, what would you say is the problem?
[07:41] <jb_in_nyc> ManualOverDozer8: ok, found my "interfaces" file.  what do i need to write there?
[07:41] <nnull> gnea so... termnil kill locales or ?
[07:41] <ManualOverDozer8> just look at it
[07:41] <legend2440> gavi: bad power supply
[07:41] <Gnea> nnull: yeah, i just looked at the process list and bam, there it was again
[07:41] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc: it should only have two lines by def
[07:41] <gavi> legend2440, i just right swaped that 5 minuts ago
[07:41] <adityag> where will i find the ACL file ?
[07:41] <gavi> same thing
[07:41] <debCarlos> Good night :D, i'm going to sleep, 2 am here lol
[07:41] <jb_in_nyc> its got a bunch of "wpa" stuff in there.
[07:42] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc: is that how you connect to your router ?
[07:42] <jb_in_nyc> including "wpa-ssid belkin54g"
[07:42] <legend2440> gavi: was it doing that before you replaced power supply?
[07:42] <jb_in_nyc> should I change that to my router name?
[07:42] <gavi> legend2440, i have a feeling the computer is possibly not grounded properly
[07:42] <jb_in_nyc> do I need to change the other WPA stuff?
[07:42] <nnull> whats it called under the process list gnea? lol
[07:42] <legend2440> gavi: yes that would do it
[07:42] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc:    if you change that you may not connect, wpa is a little more involved than WEP
[07:43] <gavi> legend2440, i waited till i had the problem. powered computer, pc froze in the middle of boot, rebooted, and problem occoured
[07:43] <jb_in_nyc> no "wep"
[07:43] <Gnea> nnull: hrm, let me think about that one for a nanosecond.. let's see, i had to killall -9 locale-gen before....
[07:43] <gavi> i left the computer on and prepared a new power supply
[07:43] <p4_xxx> i can see it now thanks- flanel, usser
[07:43] <adityag> where will i find the ACL file ?
[07:43] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc:  is your router set to use WPA then ?
[07:43] <gavi> i shut down the computer and imidiatly swaped power supplies, and same thing happened
[07:43] <jb_in_nyc> just "auto lo/iface lo inet loopback"
[07:43] <jb_in_nyc> ManualOverDozer8:  i just bought the eee used
[07:43] <nnull> whys it killall and not just kill
[07:43] <stryd_one_> sorry for OT but: 1) this place is full of good info and 2) how do you guys do it?! it's mayhem in here!
[07:43] <jb_in_nyc> the dude installed ubuntu
[07:44] <jb_in_nyc> dunno what he did or how he configured it
[07:44] <Gnea> nnull: just read the manpage ;)
[07:44] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc:  more than likely has his/hers configuration for thier connection
[07:44] <gavi> legend2440, before i take out the board and test the computer outside, would you recommend anything else?
[07:44] <jb_in_nyc> ManualOverDozer8: is there an easy way to find/configre my connectnio?
[07:44] <wbmj> gavi: do you get past POST
[07:45] <nnull> ok gnea that closes my update window completly.. what now?
[07:45] <gavi> no post
[07:45] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc: you set it up just like your router is setup. changing things can make it so you wont connect
[07:45] <gavi> just power
[07:45] <legend2440> gavi: most likely culprits are power supply and possibly memory
[07:45] <ManualOverDozer8> jb_in_nyc:  do you know what WPA and WEP do ?
