[19:14] <Flare183> Flannel: lets hope that works
[19:15] <Flannel> Flare183: why wouldn't it work?
[19:15] <yedda1> that is important if I copy recursively and not selectively
[19:15] <dtrainer> can someone recommend a package for running an internet cafe?
[19:15] <Flare183> Flannel: Because I had a similar problem before, and I had to reformat my computer to get everything back to working position
[19:16] <osmosis> the icon for xchat-gnome is broken after first installing, but is fine after a reboot.
[19:16] <RoxanneM> with liveCD, can you take it out and burn a CD?
[19:16] <osmosis> it was this way in gutsy, and appears the same in hardy.
[19:17] <Flannel> Flare183: That's rediculous.  If all you did was remove yourself from the groups, all you need to do is re-add yourself and you're fine.
[19:17] <julio_neto> RocketGib, I don't think so
[19:17] <Baby_Shambl3s> RoxanneM: huh? what do you mean...? once you have a liveCd downlaoded burn it to a CD and use it, if you want another copy of it than burn it again or the actual cd with the contents
[19:17] <Chaotic_Descent> I used gparted to make a second partition on my HD for media files. why don't I have access to it? it says I'm not the owner.
[19:17] <julio_neto> RocketGib, in saw it in another distro, but in Ubuntu, no
[19:18] <Flare183> Flannel: I know, but at the time I didn't think about that. But since I know that now. I will never have to go through that again.
[19:18] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: you need to give yourself ownership for that drive
[19:18] <edan> er, how can I get gdk-x11 library?
[19:18] <RoxanneM> Baby_Shambl3s:  i want to know if , while using the liveCD-can you burn a CD
[19:18] <toro> ?
[19:18] <mophead> andcorps: make sure your headphones are plugged into the headphone hole, instead of the microphone hole.  it's a common mistake
[19:18] <rj175> hey room. getting an internal server error with awstats any ideas?
[19:19] <Chaotic_Descent> what do I use to give myself ownership? I didn't see anything in gparted.
[19:19] <Baby_Shambl3s> RoxanneM: doubt it since youre goign to be using once you boot and the Cd contents doesnt have a burning feature or partition edit
[19:19] <cvd-pr> Its there a way to uninstall the VurtialBox.sh software?
[19:20] <Chaotic_Descent> it has something to do with mounting? gparted says the partition isn't mounted.
[19:20] <djzn> is there any way to tell the LiveCD to bring up a fixed screen resolution and not let it be set at ridiculous resolutions like 800x600????
[19:20] <KRF> id like to set up a cd release mirror in germany, is this a good idea or are there already too many?
[19:20] <ViRUS> I got some weird problem after updating my kernel to 2.6.24. "modprobe lp" and "modprobe parport_lowlevel" just hang - thus causing the init to fail.
[19:20] <earthmeLon> So guys, can you format NTFS with Ubuntu? (using qtparted right now, it's not an option :P)
[19:20] <andcorps> check every single box ..set everything on maximum..both on ALSA and HDA Intel nothing came out from the earphone. How to config this
[19:20] <Odd-rationale> KRF: always a good idea :)
[19:21] <RoxanneM> the liveCD comes with basero
[19:21] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: you cna search online for terminal command, run nautilus in sudo and change permission settings on the drive to your user instead of root
[19:21] <RoxanneM> brasero even
[19:21] <Chaotic_Descent> Thanks, Baby_Shambl3s
[19:21] <Odd-rationale> earthmeLon: you can create ntfs partitions with ubuntu but you can't install ubuntu on a ntfs partition
[19:22] <earthmeLon> Odd-rationale nice.  How does one format NTFS partitions with Ubuntu?
[19:22] <Baby_Shambl3s> RoxanneM: o_0 gparted comes with brasero... are you sure wow if thats correct that ahs changed since last time i used it so maybe yeah try your luck
[19:22] <earthmeLon> Hmmm, seems gparted might be able to do it.  Let me try that Odd-rationale
[19:22] <Odd-rationale> earthmeLon: gparted is the easiest way. make sure the disk is unmounted before partitioning or formatting
[19:22] <RoxanneM> im running liveCD right now
[19:23] <win2k8adm> I HATE LINUX SO FUCKING MUCH
[19:23] <earthmeLon> I hate using Gparted, because it takes so freaking long to scan my hdds :P
[19:23] <DarkOdos> hello everybody
[19:23] <DarkOdos> mmm
[19:23] <earthmeLon> Whats up DarkOdos
[19:23] <julio_neto> alguem aqui sabe como usar o jSMS?
[19:23] <julio_neto> onde eu posso baixar a mais nova versão?
[19:23] <DarkOdos> in reality it depens on what distro you´are using
[19:23] <rj175> hey room. getting an internal server error with awstats any ideas?
[19:23] <Pici> w/hois win2k8adm
[19:23] <biagidp> What's a good program for desktop video capture?
[19:23] <djzn> how to alter a Live-System resolution while inside the live system.... (when the gui offers not 1024x758)...
[19:24] <Rotlaus> Me again, everything works again. Thanks again
[19:24] <Baby_Shambl3s> earthmeLon: do it manually than you dont have to use gparted
[19:24] <DarkOdos> jeje
[19:24] <DarkOdos> in relaity i dont like ubuntu

[19:25] <DarkOdos> sorry
[19:25] <Orbixx> Firestarter times out when starting on boot. Any idea why?

[19:25] <dbrewer_rjr> how do i get the username from the uid?
[19:26] <djzn> how to alter a Live-System resolution while inside the live system.... (when the gui offers not 1024x758)...
[19:26] <Baby_Shambl3s> earthmeLon: you didnt ask for help in formating hd inside ubuntu, no one will help you unless you ask and gparted is quite good for those that like gui i use it myself
[19:26] <rj175> hey room. getting an internal server error with awstats.its set up with virtual servers and im wondering if its something to do with the configurations of the servers. its been annoyin me for ages any ideas?
[19:26] <Orbixx> rj175: Check the permissions of the awstats file.
[19:26] <Orbixx> Make sure it can execute.
[19:27] <ompaul> dbrewer_rjr, grep UID /etc/password
[19:27] <earthmeLon> Baby_Shambl3s I asked earlier, It's all good.  I'm currently looking up how to do it without gparted, but I am having a hard time finding any information.  Do you know of a good place to look?
[19:27] <Chaotic_Descent> what is sudo?
[19:27] <dbrewer_rjr> ompaul: i did that. rsync gave the file to a uid i cannot locate
[19:27] <DJones> !sudo | Chaotic_Descent
[19:27] <ubotu> Chaotic_Descent: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[19:27] <hwilde> !gparted | earthmeLon, Baby_Shambl3s
[19:27] <ubotu> earthmeLon, Baby_Shambl3s: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[19:27] <andcorps> anyone could help me with this earphone issue
[19:28] <hwilde> !sound | andcorps
[19:28] <ubotu> andcorps: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[19:28] <andcorps> ok
[19:28] <earthmeLon> Baby_Shambl3s Sweet, I am installing ntfsprogs, which contains mkntfs.  I'll play around with that!
[19:28] <andcorps> thanks try that first
[19:28] <Chaotic_Descent> I'm lost again. terminal command doesn't seem to be specific to anything. I typed "nautilus" in that, and it brought up the file browser. the file browser doesn't let me change ownership of partitions.
[19:28] <rj175> orbixx where is the file stored again :S
[19:28] <ompaul> dbrewer_rjr, are they both the same system type - i.e. what o/s is on both?
[19:29] <earthmeLon> Baby_Shambl3s:  Do you know of a way to get a list of all my available HDDs?  I just installed a new one and am not sure what it's labeled as.
[19:29] <ompaul> dbrewer_rjr, it is usually a sign that the user:group combo is not the same on both boxen
[19:29] <hwilde> earthmeLon, sudo fdisk -l
[19:29] <dbrewer_rjr> well, where it came from does not matter, it is migrated to gusty from red hat
[19:29] <hwilde> Chaotic_Descent, type "sudo nautilus"
[19:29] <Orbixx> rj175: No idea. lol
[19:29] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: what are you doing exactly? to run nautilus as root you need command gksudo nautilus...
[19:29] <Orbixx> Google it.
[19:29] <dbrewer_rjr> ompaul: well, where it came from does not matter, it is migrated to gusty from red hat
[19:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> hwilde: gui should not be claled with sudo but gksudo
[19:30] <Orbixx> Problem! Firestarter times out when starting on boot. Any idea why?
[19:30] <ompaul> dbrewer_rjr, that is the cause of the lack of ownership it is a group user mismatch that is the cause and therefore does matter :)
[19:30] <dbrewer_rjr> ompaul: true, i have the sgid bit set on the gutsy box, to enable group share.
[19:30] <Chaotic_Descent> I'm trying to make a partition to put media files onto. I'm new to Linux in general.
[19:31] <hwilde> Chaotic_Descent, if you want to make a partition, use gparted
[19:31] <hwilde> !gparted | Chaotic_Descent
[19:31] <ubotu> Chaotic_Descent: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[19:31] <dbrewer_rjr> ompaul: but the file owner is a mystery to me
[19:31] <Chaotic_Descent> I used gparted. I can't seem to access the filespace. it lists something called "lost + found" which I don't have permission to access.
[19:31] <Chaotic_Descent> I can't create folders either.
[19:32] <hwilde> Chaotic_Descent, how did you mount the new partition
[19:32] <Chaotic_Descent> it says it's not mounted.
[19:32] <rj175> orbixx this is wat the file is like
[19:32] <rj175> -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-04-20 22:46 awstats.pl
[19:32] <hwilde> !mount | Chaotic_Descent

[19:32] <mnemo> what determines which modules get loaded into the "lsmod" list? is there some config file for that or?
[19:32] <earthmeLon> Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes. < I hope that's good :P
[19:32] <Orbixx> rj175: Seems fine.
[19:32] <ompaul> dbrewer_rjr, I just told you - user:group  has to match on both systems they don't use the same one
[19:32] <hwilde> Chaotic_Descent, follow that info from ubotu and mount the new partition.
[19:32] <Orbixx> Might be worth reinstalling it.
[19:33] <rj175> ill do tht now and get back to u :P
[19:33] <zeno> hi i am gettting the error "could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailible)" (yes im using sudo)
[19:34] <hwilde> zeno, close your other synaptics
[19:34] <simple> t.com
[19:34] <Chaotic_Descent> I do not seem to have a  System -> Administration -> Disks
[19:34] <dbrewer_rjr> ompaul: the code was already migrated. the user:group did not match. Now I need to know who owns the file. maybe i should grep the shadow file?
[19:34] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: if its not mounted than mount it using command sudo mount /dev/ds2 "if thats the device" and mount it to /media/whatever but you must create the folder there using sudo mkdir
[19:34] <zeno> hwilde: not running any
[19:34] <zeno> killall synaptic just to be sure and nothing =p
[19:35] <hwilde> zeno, that usually means some other process has the lock.  like apt-get
[19:35] <PeterFA> Everytime I start kword or OpenOffice.org Writer, it starts drawing the window and then crashes. This has been happening since I had FF2 open and updates running, and updates crashed mentioning something about FF2 (I forget the exact error message). How do I fix this? Do I have to reinstall every package?
[19:35] <FireSnake> Can anybody help me? My opera don't play flash but FF plays
[19:35] <zeno> hwilde: im just running that terminal and firefox
[19:35] <rj175> orbixx still got the same error :(
[19:35] <hwilde> zeno, if you are *sure* there is nothing else running that would have the lock... you could delete the lock
[19:35] <zeno> im sure
[19:35] <dbrewer_rjr> << clueless at this point
[19:35] <zeno> how to delete it? thx
[19:35] <hwilde> dbrewer_rjr, just chown it
[19:35] <hwilde> zeno,  rm it
[19:36] <Pici> !aptfix | zeno
[19:36] <ubotu> zeno: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[19:36] <zeno> so sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lock?
[19:36] <dbrewer_rjr> lol that would take forever, unless i -R it, then live with the consequences
[19:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> hmmm is w3m really a text based browser looks too good to be so especially since it shows images hope its not slow but i think has tabs even knowing the site doesnt mention it
[19:36] <dbrewer_rjr> i guess chown it is
[19:36] <zeno> Pici: thx
[19:37] <dbrewer_rjr> but i still think i should be able to do a reverse lookup from the uid
[19:37] <rj175> anyone else got any ideas about internal server error with awstats?
[19:38] <recon> Does anybody know how to type the german B-looking character using the compose key?
[19:39] <Pici> recon: I personally would go and find it in gucharmap, but then again I have no compose keys
[19:39] <recon> gucharmap? so that's what I was looking for.
[19:39] <Bubble_tea> How i search files in my other hard drives?
[19:40] <Chaotic_Descent> huh... I can't mount. I have to be root.
[19:40] <unop> Bubble_tea, via the GUI or command line?
[19:41] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: thats the point of typing "sudo" before your mount command
[19:41] <blind> Okay, I have a bit of a problem. I'm connected to my wireless network, and my wired network keeps coming alive and kills my connection.
[19:41] <blind> because, there is nothing wired.
[19:41] <biagidp> Can anyone recommend a program for desktop video capture?
[19:41] <blind> i've changed it in the network settings gui, i've done ifconfig eth0 down, it just keeps coming back up
[19:42] <Flare183> !screencast | biagidp
[19:42] <ubotu> biagidp: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts.
[19:42] <Chaotic_Descent> oh. I didn't know sudo was a command. I thought it was the command line.
[19:42] <unop> !record desktop
[19:42] <zeno> Pici: still not working
[19:42] <biagidp> Flare183, Thanks
[19:42] <Chaotic_Descent> I have absolutely no idea what all these words are. I'm just guessing most of the time.
[19:42] <Flare183> biagidp: no problem
[19:42] <blind> Chaotic_Descent: sudo = superuser do
[19:42] <corporal_clegg> hello, I need help with an Apple Wireless Keyboard. It's bluetooth and it seems it's paired with my pc
[19:42] <blind> maybe that'll help it mean more in your head :P
[19:43] <corporal_clegg> I've did what's written here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothInputDevices?highlight=(bluetooth)|(keyboard)
[19:43] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: typing sudo in sheel before a command makes that command root it will basically affect the system while doing it without makes it normal user
[19:43] <Chaotic_Descent> ... what the heck's the root password?
[19:43] <Bubble_tea> unop GUI
[19:43] <blind> your password.
[19:43] <Chaotic_Descent> strange. I tried to log in as root with that and it wouldn't let me. unless root's account isn't "root"
[19:43] <Flare183> Chaotic_Descent: the password that you used to install ubuntu with]
[19:43] <Flare183> with*
[19:43] <blind> !passwd | Chaotic_Descent
[19:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about passwd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:43] <blind> fuck
[19:43] <blind> oops
[19:43] <blind> ;x
[19:43] <FloodBot1> blind: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:44] <ubotu> blind: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[19:44] <blind> yeah, sorry
[19:44] <Flare183> !language | blind
[19:44] <Flare183> yeah
[19:44] <blind> totally reflexatie
[19:44] <axion> sudo asks for a password for the sake that if someone else gets behind your keyboard he/she just can't do super user tasks just like that
[19:44] <Pici> Okay
[19:44] <blind> +v
[19:44] <Chaotic_Descent> ok, so I had to do that mkdir BEFORE I mounted, not after.
[19:44] <Chaotic_Descent> this is so complicated.
[19:44] <Flare183> Pici +1
[19:44] <remote> how can I stop X on an Ubuntu live CD, all init levels seem to insist on starting it
[19:44] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: if you're the one who installed ubuntu onto your system than root pass would be your normal pass but if not you're going to have to ask the eprson who did so
[19:45] <Chaotic_Descent> I installed it. can't I just log in as root instead of typing out commands?
[19:45] <blind> !root
[19:45] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:45] <zeno> hi i am gettting the error "could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailible)" (yes im using sudo); i dont have any package managers open and i tried the sudo fuser.... thing
[19:45] <blind> there, read that, Chaotic_Descent
[19:45] <unop> remote, you can access a virtual terminal -  CTRL+ALT+F1 .. the command to stop X is.   sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[19:45] <remote> unop: I want to stop X though.
[19:45] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: I think the problem is that you havent serached online and have no idea how to do this there are many tuts in google and ubuntu forums that give simple instruction on how to mount its not hard it seems hard cause its your first time
[19:45] <remote> ah oh
[19:46] <unop> remote, the CD is built that way, to start X .. if you want to stop it, you have to do so manually
[19:46] <craig> just like to say, i've been using ubuntu for 2 days now, and finding it awesome, don't think i'll be going back to vista anytime soon :-)
[19:46] <axion> zeno make sure you have other package managers active..
[19:46] <Chaotic_Descent> I did search online. I just coun't find anything relevant. I found stuff about installing Ubuntu that had nothing to do with this.
[19:46] <linkinxp> craig:  :D nice
[19:46] <Chaotic_Descent> It's also very hard to search for things you know nothing about.
[19:46] <spacepluk> hi, anybody know how can I run apps with a different locale?
[19:46] <blind> Okay, I have a bit of a problem. I'm connected to my wireless network, and my wired network keeps coming alive and kills my connection, because I have nothing wired. Any help?
[19:47] <spacepluk> I mean different to the system default
[19:47] <recon> In fact, is there any way to find out which characters are mapped to different compose key variations?
[19:47] <axion> Chaotic_Descent, there's NO root password
[19:47] <Chaotic_Descent> I looked in the Ubuntu help itself and just found stuff about different applications. nothing about the generalities of how you mount partitions.
[19:47] <ghaith> Chaotic_Descent, sudo is simply safer then logging in as root, and don't do that.. sudo su - will keep you from typing sudo infront of every command for that session if you want, you'll be root inside that terminal..
[19:47] <Chaotic_Descent> axion: yes, thank you. I got that the FIRST time someone told me!
[19:48] <zeno> axion: positive
[19:48] <zeno> also su isnt working (and i know its the right password)
[19:48] <blind> zeno: sudo su
[19:48] <axion> to mount a partition first you have to be certain the drive is attached to the system and drivers are available and activated..
[19:49] <axion> secondly you have to make sure it's not allready mounted
[19:49] <craig> before I installed ubuntu I could boot from Vista or XP, now that ubuntu has taken over as the boot loader i can only boot into ubuntu and Vista (not XP), how can i get XP back, as i need it for specific apps?
[19:49] <linkinxp> craig:  :D nice
[19:49] <linkinxp> ups
[19:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: going afk ppl here will help you out but you should search online on how to mount, how sudo works and how ubuntu/linux organises its files, be back in 15mins "its relaly easy but it takes time when youre new"
[19:49] <axion> thirdly make a directory in /mnt ( like /mnt/sdc1
[19:49] <Chaotic_Descent> it's the mounting that was new to me.
[19:49] <axion> then mount the partition on that directory
[19:49] <linkinxp> craig:  typing the information in  grub? i think
[19:50] <Chaotic_Descent> yeah, I finally got it. I think. It's just that I didn't know I was supposed to search for general info on mounting, or how to identify if I had found general info on it, or specific info that didn't cover what I needed to do.
[19:50] <ghaith> craig, you can modify the grub config, copy the vista part, and modify  the drive and name.. or boot into vista and have the bootload (in system properties i think) have 2 options, xp and vista
[19:50] <axion> man mount
[19:51] <andcorps> seem like need some sleep
[19:51] <zeno> hi i am gettting the error "could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailible)" (yes im using sudo); i dont have any package managers open and i tried the sudo fuser.... thing
[19:51] <blind> Okay, I have a bit of a problem. I'm connected to my wireless network, and my wired network keeps coming alive and kills my connection, because I have nothing wired. Any help?
[19:51] <andcorps> been trying to conf this for month now

[19:51] <andcorps> see u all tomorrow
[19:51] <craig> ghaith, do you know the location of grub config off the top of your head
[19:52] <axion> zeno if you are certain that the package manager is not running..
[19:52] <axion> remove the lock file
[19:52] <ghaith> /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:52] <axion> by andcorps
[19:52] <axion> +e
[19:52] <craig> cheers
[19:52] <blind> i would never dual-boot. virtualbox's seamless mode is lovely.
[19:52]  * Pelo wonders what he will do if nickrud is not around to help him
[19:53] <zeno> axion: sorry what command? thx
[19:53] <Baby_Shambl3s> is there a way i cna get terminal to show in tray and yes im the unlucky person that cant use compiz-fusion so no invisible desktop shell for me :(?
[19:53] <Magus_X> blind: virtualbox's cant run games at its best lol
[19:53] <axion> delete the lock file
[19:53] <zeno> and im positive even did the ps ax | grep synap (and aptitude and apt)
[19:53] <Pelo> blind, wrap your mind around this one,  booting an actual windows partition + seamless
[19:53] <blind> Magus_X: oh, very true. I don't play very many games
[19:53] <axion> just be certain dpkg, synaptic, apt-get or the the update-anager is not running
[19:53] <krammer_> how do i know if a packet socket is enabled
[19:53] <blind> Pelo: thats what i wanted to do, actually.
[19:54] <Baby_Shambl3s> blind: youre better of making a 10GB partition with m$ XP for games or try it in wine, cedega, crossover
[19:54] <blind> Baby_Shambl3s: nah, i just play q3a, and its native, so im good
[19:54] <Pelo> blind, next version of vmware-server apprently,  I already have vmware server booting the XP partiton, I'M one step away
[19:54] <Chaotic_Descent> bleh. looks like I mounted AND changed permissions.
[19:54] <Chaotic_Descent> thanks for the help.
[19:54]  * Pelo is also one step away from not needing windows
[19:54] <mophead> Why are var/lock and varrun/ 1009M in Ubuntu?  do they need to be that large?
[19:55] <ghaith> Magus_X, crossover games, wine and cedega will do.. but not for every game ofcourse
[19:55] <blind> Pelo: ah, i dont like vmware very much, i love virtualbox
[19:55] <Baby_Shambl3s> anyway i cna make terminal go to tray?
[19:55] <mophead> varlock^
[19:55] <Pelo> blind, how's vbox on resources compared to vmw ?
[19:55] <blind> very very light.
[19:55] <Pelo> Baby_Shambl3s, check under file > curent profile
[19:55] <blind> when i have nothing going on, it's like it's not even there.
[19:56] <axion> uk-linux-maagzien came with a ubuntu install-dvd with several box-bootable-images..
[19:56] <ghaith> vbox wouldn't run everything, it runs windows fine though, but i tried to install freebsd the other day and it did work
[19:56] <blind> when i boot up cs2, it's like i have cs2 running, but it doesn't go overboard on the virtualization
[19:56] <a1fa_> hey.. can DMA not be enabled on SATA drives?
[19:56]  * Pelo realy needs some Xserver genious to help him edit xorg.conf to make his 8button stick into  scrollmode with one click, one click on , one click off
[19:56] <blind> ghaith: really? interesting.
[19:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> Pelo: it seems like not i'll need a graphics card supported with compiz to be able to pull fancy shell :(
[19:57] <Pelo> a1fa_, I'm almost sure dma and sata donT' mix
[19:57] <a1fa_> Pelo : i am stuck with slow timing speeds?
[19:57] <Pelo> Baby_Shambl3s,  ????
[19:57] <axion> tiem to go to sleep..
[19:57] <axion> work tomorow
[19:57] <Pelo> a1fa_,  I mean sata doesn'T need dma but  like I said I'm not sure
[19:58] <zeno> how do i rm the lock on package managers
[19:58] <zeno> i know im not running any
[19:58] <a1fa_>  Timing cached reads:   768 MB in  2.00 seconds = 383.53 MB/sec
[19:58] <craigbass1976> Perhaps this is an apache question... I've got a directory in the www directory.  If I navigate to folder/index.php then all is well.  If I just navigate to folder, I get some pop up box asking if I want to download a file with no name
[19:58] <Ben_Cs> hello
[19:58] <axion> the error message tells you where the lock file is located..
[19:58] <axion> rm it
[19:58] <Pelo> zeno, check in the system mornitor,  show all process,  dpkg apt and synaptic
[19:59] <Chaotic_Descent> what's the linux equivalent of windows file shortcuts?
[19:59] <axion> there are none
[19:59] <Pici> Chaotic_Descent: There are links, but its not exactly the same thing.
[19:59] <axion> fle shortcuts are a windows stupidity
[19:59] <craigbass1976> Chaotic_Descent, symbolic links
[19:59] <axion> links ahrd and soft links resemble them thought
[19:59] <axion> though
[19:59] <Ben_Cs>  i use hardy. installed ntfs-config. when i run it, when trying to add V's the apply button turns gray. i looked at the exec line and it says: gksu ntfs-config, but i don't get asked for a password. i tried gksudo. i get asked for pass word but still can't change a thing. please help!

[20:00] <Interflop> I'd like to know why my Broadcom wireless worked while running 8.04 on a Live CD but not when I install it
[20:00] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: in gnome you can also right click the desktop and select "Create Launcher"
[20:00] <FastZ> Ben_Cs: #ubuntu+1
[20:00] <Chaotic_Descent> thanks. I'm guessing I should have been putting my files in media instead of home then.
[20:01] <Baby_Shambl3s> Ben_Cs: hardy support is in #ubuntu+1
[20:01] <krammer_> how do i know if a packet socket is enabled
[20:01] <zeno> Pelo: there is a dpkg running, i should kill it right
[20:01] <Baby_Shambl3s> FastZ: too fast for me :D
[20:01] <Chaotic_Descent> why is my partition called "lost+found"?
[20:01] <Pelo> zeno, yes
[20:01] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: why? what's the problem you're trying to solve?
[20:01] <FastZ> Baby_Shambl3s: I win!
[20:01] <a1fa_> lol
[20:01] <a1fa_> !lostandfound | Chaotic_Descent
[20:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lostandfound - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:01] <Ben_Cs> ok, thanks
[20:01] <Chaotic_Descent> I'm just trying to figure out where files are supposed to go.
[20:02] <Pelo> Chaotic_Descent, your partiton is not called lost and found,  ext3 makes a folder like that for lost cluster when it fsck
[20:02] <axion> Chaotic_Descent, that's the lost and found directory that comes on every ext2/3 partition for filcheckling and save lost and fopund files
[20:02]  * shelmar # nas
[20:02] <axion> latser
[20:02] <axion> laters
[20:02] <lz1gjd> is there a kvpnc alternative for gnome desktop ?
[20:02] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: most people just use a package manager to install programs and then you get icons added to gnome applications menu automatically (or in some cases you can type new commands in the terminal)... as for *data* files, most people put those in their home directory
[20:02] <zeno> Pelo: great now it works thx alot
[20:03] <zeno> whats dpkg anyways
[20:03] <lz1gjd> actually its been the only tool that allowed me to get my work done
[20:03] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: if you go on google and do a search on ubuntu filesystem youll find links that explain what each folder is used for or how ubuntu/linux is structured
[20:03] <Pelo> zeno, another frontend for  apt
[20:03] <Chaotic_Descent> no, I mean like pictures and videos and text files.
[20:03] <mophead> Chaotic_Descent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[20:04] <{Firemaker}> [AMSG] æææ æææææææ From: dinner. Gone For: 10mins 59secs -BACK-  ææææææææææ
[20:04] <mophead> Chaotic_Descent: personal files generally go int he home folder
[20:04] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: there is actually linux distros which have a sane directory structure (like for instance http://www.gobolinux.org/ ) but to be honest... ubuntu is just so much better than anything else out there so I still recommend ubuntu :)
[20:04] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: pictures go in pictures your home file is yours you can structure it anyway you want  so it doesnt matter where you save stuff :D but things like mounting needs to be sent to the correct place
[20:04] <Pici> {Firemaker}: Please disable such scripts in this channel
[20:04] <Pici> !away > {Firemaker} (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[20:04] <Chaotic_Descent> oh... media is for removable media, not media files. :P
[20:04] <{Firemaker}> Okay, sorry
[20:04] <Interflop> Why does my Broadcom wireless card work when running from an 8.04 Live CD but not when I install it
[20:04] <krammer_> where can i find help for nebwies for wine
[20:05] <mophead> #wine
[20:05] <FastZ> lzlgjd: you can use kvpnc in GNOME as well as KDE
[20:05] <Baby_Shambl3s> Chaotic_Descent: o_0 oh simple mistake to make but than those need root access so you wont be able to use them normally
[20:05] <mophead> #winehq
[20:05] <ghaith> Chaotic_Descent, if you seperate your home partition during install, and keep everything there you will manage to keep every setting you have even after reinstallation, and that's a good practice
[20:05] <Chaotic_Descent> ... uhg... so... other partitions go in media, but if you put pictures in my partition ... see, I don't want to have to go clickity click half a dozen times just to get to my pictures.
[20:06] <ghaith> Chaotic_Descent, you can "Bookmark" locations, so you just click on places and get there
[20:07] <ghaith> in nautilus, drag the folder you want to bookmark to the left side, if the left toolbar doesn't show press F9
[20:07] <mophead> Chaotic_Descent: I put a linjk to my home folder in my "bar" thingy at the bottom
[20:07] <lz1gjd> FastZ: i know but id like to use a gtk toolkit tool
[20:07] <lz1gjd> FastZ: i mean pure gnome app ;)
[20:07] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: okay, so basically you might have some files in your home directory but if you have an external USB hard drive or maybe another partition (NTFS or ext3 or whatever) you will mount all of those partitions under /media so in that sense you might store music/docs/stuff in both the home directory and in some mounted volume under /media ... however, you won't typically navigate to "/media" when you save or open files there because GNOME will
[20:07] <NinjaElf> Chaotic_Descent you could make a symlink
[20:08] <FastZ> lzlgjd: gotcha, I'll help you look cuz I dont know one off the top of my head
[20:08] <Baby_Shambl3s> what is faster, elinks or w3m as a text browser?
[20:08] <B|ackDayz> hello :)
[20:09] <FastZ> lzlgjd: sheesh!  I just searched Google for "vpn for GNOME" and got about 308,000 hits
[20:09] <FastZ> lzlgjd: http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&hl=en&safe=off&q=vpn+for+gnome&btnG=Search
[20:09] <B|ackDayz> I googled AND looked on the ubuntu forum before I came here :D
[20:09]  * B|ackDayz gives himself a pat on the back
[20:09] <FastZ> !hi | B|ackDayz
[20:09] <ubotu> B|ackDayz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[20:09] <Baby_Shambl3s> B|ackDayz: nice way to start original now throw us the question :D
[20:09] <lz1gjd> FastZ: thx a lot ;-)
[20:10] <B|ackDayz> lol
[20:10] <Lamego> Baby_Shambl3s, there should be no major performance difference between 2 console mode browsers
[20:10] <Chaotic_Descent> mnemo: because GNOME will what?
[20:10] <Pelo> B|ackDayz, congrats I guess you won'T need our help then
[20:10] <B|ackDayz> I'm running (attempting to) a live version of ubuntu, when I boot up it gives me the message /bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off
[20:10] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: because GNOME will show all harddrives/partitions in the left part of each open/save dialog... and GNOME also has the "Places" menu with all your harddrives plus network folders you configure
[20:11] <B|ackDayz> they have a similar issue posted on the ubuntu forum
[20:11] <B|ackDayz> but it's not for live versions of the case.
[20:11] <FastZ> lzlgjd: no prob, hope you can weed through those search results and find something you can be comfortable with using
[20:11] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: hmmm just thought since w3m introduces color and elinks doesnt "or it could be my noobness" I thought elinks was faster and took less resources
[20:11] <B|ackDayz> so, apt-get, or reinstall ubuntu minimal wont work in this case.
[20:11] <Pelo> B|ackDayz, usb keyboard or mounse ?
[20:11] <B|ackDayz> no.
[20:11] <Pelo> hmm
[20:11] <B|ackDayz> laptop
[20:11] <Lamego> Baby_Shambl3s, just try and get the answer by yourself
[20:11] <Nibblyn> Hi! How can I encrypt an archive? Is there something simple to use?
[20:12] <h00k> B|ackDayz: can it recognize your HD?
[20:12] <Pelo> B|ackDayz, and you say you looked up the error msg in the forum ?
[20:12] <Cew27> hey how can i tell if this live cd is 64buit
[20:12] <Lamego> Nibblyn, gpg
[20:12] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: yeha im testing them now since a few minuts ago i downloaded them
[20:12] <mnemo> B|ackDayz: I had that problem a few ages ago as well... I think it was because linux couldn't find my harddrive or something like that (not sure)
[20:12] <Nibblyn> Lamego: will check it, thanks
[20:12] <Pelo> Cew27, the .iso would have said   amd64
[20:12] <B|ackDayz> I dont need linux to find my hardrive though, it's a liveos
[20:13] <Cew27> im on the live cd how can i check from here
[20:13] <Pelo> Cew27, in anycase ,  puttin the cd in any comp will identify it with the name of the version
[20:13] <Pelo> Cew27, mount the cd
[20:13] <Cew27> im having tourble installing 64 bit hardy so ill install guts and upgrade in 3 days
[20:13] <FastZ> Nibblyn: here is a thread on UbuntuForums that suggests using AES Crypt  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385540
[20:13] <Cew27> Pelo: what do you mean
[20:13] <Nibblyn> FastZ: thanks for hinting
[20:14] <FastZ> Nibblyn: gpg will work well too as Lamego suggested
[20:14] <Pelo> Cew27, open places  > computer ,  see the cd drive ? right click  mount
[20:14] <Baby_Shambl3s> does defualt terminal allow different tabs withing one window as I would like to have irssi running and elinks in one terminal instead of separate terminals?
[20:14] <ghaith> Cew27, i think uname -a in a terminal would show that
[20:14] <h00k> B|ackDayz: did you verify the md5 on the CD before burning?
[20:14] <Cew27> says no volume
[20:15] <Chaotic_Descent> where does it show what version of Ubuntu I have?
[20:15] <Lamego> Baby_Shambl3s, if you are refering to the gnome terminal, yes, File -> Open Tab
[20:15] <Cew27> i686
[20:15] <Lamego> Chaotic_Descent, on the terminal type: lsb_release -a
[20:15] <mnemo> Chaotic_Descent: check out "System :: About Ubuntu"
[20:15] <Pelo> Cew27, that should be a 32bit I beleive
[20:15] <Cew27> tcrap
[20:15] <B|ackDayz> h00k: I didnt burn cd. it's a ubuntu live disc.
[20:15] <Cew27> cheers
[20:15] <Chaotic_Descent> mnemo: nope. that doesn't work.
[20:15] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: o-0 huh... really? nice very nice will do that now
[20:16] <Pelo> mnemo, not sure about ubuntu gives the release,   fist tab of the system monitor does
[20:16] <B|ackDayz> should I copy the files and burn the image myself?
[20:16] <h00k> B|ackDayz: did you order it or download/burn the disc?
[20:16] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: im so newb so newb
[20:16] <B|ackDayz> I got it from a book
[20:16] <B|ackDayz> lol
[20:16]  * Baby_Shambl3s goes to a corner and sobs
[20:16] <h00k> okay...hmm.
[20:16] <Pelo> B|ackDayz,  the ubuntu live cd is an install cd
[20:16] <Chaotic_Descent> oh, there it is. it's halfway down the page. that's tricky. :S

[20:20] <Tatster> Hi all.  Just wondered if anyone knows of a Linux alternative to Yep for the Mac ?  (PDF organiser)
[20:21] <Pelo> Tatster, look up yep on wikipedia,  they often have list of comparable apps listed toward the bottom of the page
[20:22] <FastZ> Tatster: http://icculus.org/referencer/index.html
[20:22]  * Pelo is happy , he got his trackball to scroll in ubuntu
[20:22] <Baby_Shambl3s> hmmm didnt know i could use mouse to surf on a text browser WoW how fortunate of me even knowing that isnt how text browsers are supposed to work "i think"
[20:23] <Tatster> FastZ: cool, I'll have a look at that
[20:23] <Pelo> Baby_Shambl3s, I guess it depends if you are using a text brower in a console or in a terminal window
[20:24] <Tatster> Pelo: not much for yep on the wikipedia page, but a few links to reviews that may have suggestions for alternatives
[20:24] <oscar_> anyone know how to solve the problem of ubuntu 7.10 with dvd
[20:24] <FastZ> Tatster: looks like what you might be looking for.  I'm not familiar with what YEP is on a Mac, but you put pdf organizer in () so I looked for a linux pdf organizer thru Google
[20:24] <Pelo> oscar_, what problem is that ?

[20:36] <snarkster> nature break
[20:36] <FastZ> just have to boot that up right fast
[20:37] <egc> if i have a library where i can't find a documented API, is there a command I can run on it to find out what functions it exports?
[20:37] <h00k> FastZ: I'd like to know, too, I'll follow along :)
[20:37] <titan_> I am running Ubuntu 7, when 8 comes out will it auto update to it or will I have to reinstall?
[20:37] <snarkster> back
[20:37] <linkinxp> FastZ:  ? :D
[20:38] <Ashfire908> titan_: you can update
[20:38] <titan_> cool thanks
[20:38] <snarkster> titan: should just update
[20:38] <FastZ> linkinxp: actually on xchat-gnome, there should be a "button" down in the lower left corner that should show you all the users in the channel
[20:38] <Ashfire908> titan_: btw the .10 and .04 are signauifant in the version number
[20:38] <h00k> titan_: you can 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[20:39] <titan_> 7.10
[20:39] <linkinxp> FastZ:  yes
[20:39] <FastZ> linkinxp: is that what you were looking for?
[20:39] <linkinxp> FastZ:  but im Oper so i need to see every1
[20:40] <snarkster> nappy time.. ttyl
[20:40] <linkinxp> ill install the other one
[20:40] <linkinxp> fastZ thanks :D
[20:40] <Phusion> hey there, running semi-latest 8.04 and everything is great, except when I run WinXP in VirtualBox, it will not capture my mouse
[20:40] <emil_> \nick Man007
[20:40] <Phusion> I suspect its an error in xorg.conf or something along those lines.. but not sure
[20:40] <Phusion> worked great in 7.10
[20:41] <FastZ_> linkinxp: yeah, as far as op tools go, you might be better off installing the regular xchat  sudo apt-get install xchat
[20:41] <FastZ_> quit
[20:41] <FastZ_> that doesnt work does it
[20:41] <h00k> FastZ_:  will it keep my settings;) ?
[20:41] <kelvin911> guys what is the different between double buffering and triple buffering?
[20:41] <kelvin911> in VLC
[20:42] <buggmaster> is there a package for mysqltuner
[20:42] <FastZ> hOOk: not sure about that.  i'm not familiar with what the differences between the settings for each of the two versions
[20:42] <h00k> FastZ: I'll try :)
[20:42] <buggmaster> nevermind, i found their homepage
[20:43] <h00k> heh. seems to.
[20:43] <_Rambaldi_> i am learning to write scripts in for bash (gedit) but i a getting a little frustrated counting lines to locate mistakes, is there a software for writing scripts that has line numbers?
[20:43] <FastZ> h00k and linkinxp: it appears that xchat-gnome and xchat both store settings in .xchat2 in your /home  so removing one and installing the other should allow you to use the settings from the previous version
[20:44] <crdlb> _Rambaldi_: gedit has line numbers. Edit > Preferences
[20:44] <unforsaken> anyone available to help on an old version of ubuntu?
[20:44] <mistapapa> hi all...
[20:44] <Lamego> !anyone | unforsaken
[20:44] <ubotu> unforsaken: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[20:44] <_Rambaldi_> ctr i
[20:44] <chicos> No dice, hdd failure.
[20:45] <h00k> chicos, it was HDD?
[20:45] <Lamego> _Rambaldi_, gedit supports "Go to Line number"
[20:45] <h00k> FastZ, settings are saved between the two.
[20:45] <mistapapa> which version of flash player is the one with the best performance? SWFDEC or ADOBE or GNASH???
[20:45] <_Rambaldi_> i found that out
[20:45] <Lamego> _Rambaldi_, Search -> Go To Line
[20:45] <Qaldune> use adobe
[20:45] <Ic1> hi all
[20:45] <FastZ> h00k: so your old settings moved over to the new version of xchat?
[20:46] <mistapapa> Qaldune: okay so this ones performance is best under ubuntu?
[20:46] <Qaldune> mistappa: swfdec and gnash aren't reliable enough
[20:46] <h00k> FastZ, yes, autoconnects, passwds, etc safved
[20:46] <h00k> *saved
[20:46] <unforsaken> I'm running 5.04 and getting errors about rules when I try to compile programs...any ideas
[20:46] <FastZ> h00k: awesome good deal
[20:46] <Starnestommy> Qaldune: I've found that adobe and gnash are about as fast, but adobe works better
[20:46] <Qaldune> mistapapa: i don't know about speed, but you'll get a lot of trouble with swfdec and gnash with most websites
[20:46] <Auctionedllama> !hardy | Auctionedllama
[20:47] <Starnestommy> er,
[20:47] <Starnestommy> mistapapa: I've found that adobe and gnash are about as fast, but adobe works better
[20:47] <Qaldune> starnestommy, that's exactly what i meant
[20:47] <Starnestommy> Qaldune: I accidentally typed the wrong nickname
[20:47] <Qaldune> ok
[20:47] <Lamego> unforsaken, you need to be more specific, maybe a pastebin
[20:47] <mistapapa> okay... all i want is performance in youtube lol
[20:48] <mistapapa> so ich choose adobe for now... maybe later versions will be more reliable
[20:48] <chicos> We're just here in Ghosh's Linux class trying to learn Ubuntu

[20:48] <Tabrish> somebody here knows for sure if Amarok runs under Gnome?
[20:48] <Starnestommy> Tabrish: it does, and most KDE programs do
[20:49] <Lamego> Baby_Shambl3s, have you tried backspace ?
[20:49] <h00k> Tabrish, you can run it under gnome, yes
[20:49] <Tabrish> i'm trying to decide if i will use Ubuntu or Kubuntu =p
[20:49] <chicos> Anyone wants to talk to chicos
[20:49] <FastZ> Tabrish: Amarok should run under GNOME
[20:49] <Tabrish> StarfleetNDP and h00k: thx
[20:49] <Lamego> !ot | chicos
[20:49] <ubotu> chicos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[20:49] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: nope have will try now
[20:49] <unforsaken> make: *** No rule to make target `src/sha1-mmx.S', needed by `aircrack-ng'.  Stop.

[20:49] <peter___> Hi, I've a strange problem: I've made a symlink to a directory in the /usr/bin to /usr/X11R6, strangly when I type for example X (which is in /usr/X11R6) nothing happens, does anyone know what might be te sollution?
[20:50] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: nope backspace moves between lines but no previous page, hmmm thats really obscure
[20:50] <chicos> Any hotties?
[20:50] <FastZ> chicos: loads of hotties in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:50] <Phusion> anyone know why virtualbox won't grab my mouse for winxp guest OS in Ubuntu 8.04?
[20:50] <mistapapa> another more general question: shall i install all updates that update manager shows or do i have to be more careful concerning packages?
[20:50] <Lamego> peter___, "nothing  happens" ? or you get a command not found ?
[20:50] <peter___> command not found
[20:51] <Lamego> mistapapa, in general you should trust on updates, except for the very rare cases they break your system, in particular with kernel updates :P
[20:51] <Auctionedllama> Hi, I just installed hardy, and my GFX card is working full blast, but whenever I switch themes my bars will never change. They're always grey no matter what I switch too (the gui bars at the top) how do I fix this?
[20:51] <Lamego> peter___, ls -l yourlink
[20:51] <peter___> also when typing x and then tabbing, no binaries are shown
[20:51] <chicos> Our professor Ghosh thinks he knows Ubuntu, but he doesnt know squat
[20:51] <Lamego> !hardy | Auctionedllama
[20:51] <ubotu> Auctionedllama: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[20:51] <Redhammer> hi short question: how do I "reset my appearance manager" all the themes there seem to be unable to show a preview and are garbled, FYI I have already done a "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" which has solved most of my messed up conf but that bit is still eluding me
[20:51] <peter___> ls -l?
[20:52] <peter___> ls -ls then?
[20:52] <jac0b-w> does anyone know if the "The folder contents could not be displayed" error has been fixed in hardy?
[20:52] <Auctionedllama> lamego, sigh D:
[20:52] <mistapapa> Lamego: okay I'll trust these updates and hope that they won't break anything
[20:52] <FastZ> peter___: ls -l just shows a long listed format of the regular ls command
[20:52] <peter___> okay
[20:53] <peter___> Lamego: ow yes, stupid, sory, didn't see it, it points to: ../X11R6/bin
[20:53] <chicos> Anybody know Bill Gates?
[20:53] <BOBY> hello
[20:53] <FastZ> peter___: its like "ls" but it shows more information like file permissions, the file owner and group, etc etc
[20:53] <Lamego> peter___, ;)
[20:53] <peter___> Lamego: if I cd to X11 I also see the binaries
[20:54] <ihab> مرحبا
[20:54] <BOBY> hello
[20:54] <chicos> I kinda feel left out here
[20:54] <unforsaken> Lamego: make: *** No rule to make target `src/sha1-mmx.S', needed by `aircrack-ng'.  Stop.
[20:54] <unforsaken>  any ideas on what to do to fix that...it happens on anything...ircd, wireless drivers, etc.
[20:54] <Lamego> chicos, do you have a support question, if you do not, leave
[20:54] <Lamego> unforsaken, no idea, it misses the file, either from the source, or because it was not able to build it
[20:55] <adamb> I should be able to install a 32bit version of ubuntu server on a 64bit server, right?
[20:55] <Bluetoot1> hi dear people, where I can find hidd for my 8.04?
[20:55] <BOBY> hello
[20:55] <Lamego> adamb, sure

[20:55] <sanozuke> hello
[20:55] <chicos> How do I change my layout using script commands?
[20:55] <adamb> Lamego: all I am loosing out on is addressable space, as in amount of memory I can put in, yes?
[20:55] <peter___> BOBY, just ask your question, it's too busy for hello
[20:55] <sanozuke> does anyone know about perl irc channel
[20:56] <FastZ> Baby_Shambl3s: chicos has asked questions then started to chatter... #ubuntu-offtopic is for that

[20:59] <Animortis> I have a problem. I have proFTPD installed and want it to work on boot. For some reason, it will not start for use on a boot. I have tried update-rc.d with defaults but it claims there's already links there. I can use /etc/init.d/proftpd start and stop from a raw boot to my desktop and they will BOTH work for some reason. Either way, however, I have to start the service to get it to work. Can anyone help me get started on fixing
[20:59] <Animortis>  this, or maybe automating the manual start and stop commands I'm doing?
[20:59] <DarkWolf> i have tryed Envy but had no luck
[20:59] <sanozuke> olways nice
[20:59] <Animortis> Wow sorry
[20:59] <peter___> So it should be, thanks guys :D
[21:00] <FastZ> Darkwolf: system>administration>restricted drivers manager doesnt allow you to install them?
[21:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> DarkWolf: 7.10 isnt new and there are plenty of tuts in ubuntuforums.org or you can wait for seomone to help you that has nvidia card
[21:00] <Lamego> Baby_Shambl3s, if you dont know the answers, do not send people to google !!!
[21:01] <DareDevi1> Lamego could you help me please??
[21:01] <peter___> Now the following happens: X: error while loading shared libraries: libXau.so.6: cannot open....
[21:01] <Lamego> !anyone | DareDevi1
[21:01] <ubotu> DareDevi1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[21:01] <FastZ> Animortis: add proftpd to System>Preferences>Sessions
[21:01] <Baby_Shambl3s> Lamego: sorry but the point is not that im sending people to goole but half of what they ask is in the forum or google but yeah np wont do that any more
[21:01] <Lamego> peter___, you dont have the libraries on the library search path, for those binaries
[21:01] <unop> peter___,  X requires you start it via startx not directly
[21:01] <DarkWolf> i have try restricted drivers, also editing the xconfg file to nvidia insted of nv
[21:01] <Animortis> FastZ, That requires a password and for me to log in to work. I want it on boot, not log in.
[21:02] <Lamego> peter___, what are you trying to achieve ?
[21:02] <mwe> I think the programs in /usr/bin/X11 have hard links in /usr/bin
[21:02] <DareDevi1> I allready did it
[21:02] <Lamego> unop, not is problem, he did some hacking already on its X dirs
[21:02] <peter___> Lamego, where do I modify the the library search path normaly?
[21:02] <peter___> Lamego, first I want the X server running, then I'd like to install Xfce
[21:02] <DareDevi1> My problem is that I can use the Mozilla with a java application
[21:02] <Lamego> peter___, /etc/ld.so.conf
[21:03] <ninjaslim> i have wireless network configured on my laptop, for some reason it doesn't connect anymore and the kentworkmanager application is different than the one i was using, i think it changed during updates, is there a way for me to reset the configuration of the wireless
[21:03] <unop> Lamego, i know, he was in earlier -- still, X is never usually started by calling it directly
[21:03] <DarkWolf> I'm sorry i am unable to send a privet message
[21:03] <Lamego> peter___, why didn't you used the repositories applications ?
[21:03] <DareDevi1> I am tryn to enter to a site that needs java and I can do it because a problem with java
[21:03] <peter___> Lamego, TNX very much, this took me so long!
[21:03] <Lamego> unop, well, youd didn't read the thread start ;)
[21:03] <FastZ> Animortis: maybe look at system>administration>services then..
[21:03] <peter___> Lamego, I'm building an LFS system ;)
[21:03] <FastZ> Animortis: I thought proFTPd starts at boot by default?
[21:03] <Lamego> peter___, ouch, so you are offtopic , try ##linux instead
[21:04] <BCBudLover83> does anyone here have a problem with harddrives automounting in ubuntu 8.04?
[21:04] <peter___> Lamego, by mistake installed Xorg 6.9, quiet old, but there's no make uninstall, and I'm not using a package manager
[21:04] <Lamego> FastZ, it does, at least from a repos install
[21:04] <Animortis> FastZ, It's supposed to but it doesn't for me for some reason. I don't know why, I didn't mess with it.
[21:04] <peter___> tnx anyway Lamego
[21:04] <ninjaslim> i have wireless network configured on my laptop, for some reason it doesn't connect anymore and the kentworkmanager application is different than the one i was using, i think it changed during updates, is there a way for me to reset the configuration of the wireless
[21:04] <peter___> I'm gone
[21:04] <DareDevi1> I have a problem with java in Mozilla, help pleae
[21:04] <Animortis> Lamego, ProFTPD doesn't for me, though. I don't know why.

[21:07] <icedwater> Hi, I need help fixing my sound card... can't remember when I last played sound, but now I can't get anything out of it
[21:07] <icedwater> Except when I play a sound file inside audacity.
[21:07] <Lamego> Animortis, boot from the livecd and fix the sudoers privileges
[21:07] <Lamego> erm, permissions
[21:07] <kbrooks> AdrianStrays, what if people can't click on your link? Please summarize your post in  here.
[21:07] <Lamego> I meant, AdrianStrays
[21:07] <Animortis> Lamego, Er, explain a little more. Why?
[21:07] <icedwater> Totem and other web applications don't give me sound. :(
[21:07] <Animortis> Oh, wrong person?

[21:08] <crdlb> dmi3on: that chip is blacklisted in gutsy, but not in hardy
[21:08] <AdrianStrays> Lamego, I don't have a livecd
[21:08] <Animortis> I've a question -- What's the remove command counterpart to update-rc.d? Like, remove-rc.d or something?
[21:08] <mwe> DareDevi1, I think you need to install sun-java6-plugin at for starters

[21:08] <toastyspoon> hello all, I'm very new to Ubuntu, and have a request for help... I installed 7.10 the other day on my Acer Aspire 5050 laptop and to begin with the wireless internet was working... it now isn't and I can't understand why
[21:08] <Ic1> dmi3on,  they works
[21:08] <Animortis> Or is it just a careful rm command?
[21:09] <crdlb> dmi3on: it can be made to work in gutsy though
[21:09] <unop> Animortis, update-rc.d
[21:09] <mwe> Animortis, I think update-rc.d can remove links as well
[21:09] <Lamego> Animortis, man update-rc.d
[21:09] <Animortis> AH okay I see the option now
[21:09] <mwe> Animortis, I recommend rcconf, though
[21:09] <mluser-work> anyone know how I can force an fsck check on next boot?
[21:10] <FastZ> toastyspoon: do you know what brand your wireless chipset is on that notebook?
[21:10] <ninjaslim> i have wireless network configured on my laptop, for some reason it doesn't connect anymore and the kentworkmanager application is different than the one i was using, i think it changed during updates, is there a way for me to reset the configuration of the wireless
[21:10] <xukun> how can I play vob files with mplayer
[21:10] <askand> Hi, I have a question about that laptop harddrive bug.."sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count"  the number it gives me increases with 5/minute or something.. is that bad?
[21:10] <Ic1> 2askand: no, it is not)
[21:11] <mwe> Animortis, if you remove links with update-rc.d the startup number is forgotten
[21:11] <icedwater> Is there anyone who can help with my sound card settings?
[21:11] <Animortis> mwe, Is that bad?
[21:11] <ironfoot_495> I have a iso (W2K 2000 Pro)that i'm trying to use on my vmware but it won't take i9t , Is there someone who is familiar with this installation?
[21:11] <AdrianStrays> I was attempting to have firestarter start at login, I attempted to do this by altering the sudoers file to allow firestarter start without prompting me for the admin pass.  I made the alterations, but found I couldn't save to that file.  I saved elsewhere, then overwrote the original with my copy.  Now I can't run any sudo commands, and in the prompt I am told that sudo should be "440" when it is in fact "0644"
[21:11] <icedwater> I'd love to give more details, but I really can't remember what happened, it's been a while since I've been living with no sound.
[21:11] <mwe> Animortis, sometimes I think
[21:11] <icedwater> I'll just wait here :)
[21:11] <icedwater> Thanks in advance for any help :)
[21:12] <Animortis> mwe, I'll look at rcconf first before I go doing any update-rc.d removes
[21:12] <mwe> Animortis, if B depends on A and later B is set to start before A
[21:12] <Johnson> man this has been such a bad distro of ubuntu
[21:12] <DarkWolf2008> #nvidia
[21:13] <AdrianStrays> Can anyone help me?
[21:13] <Animortis> mwe, I see. Well, maybe I broke it myself. I added update-rc.d for inadyn to keep up with my dynamic ip. If that's the case maybe a remove and restore would fix it.

[21:14] <Lamego> AdrianStrays, try with gksu, there was someone reporting one of this days that you could use gksu in some scenarios where sudo was no longer available due to strict validations
[21:14] <ninjaslim> i have wireless network configured on my laptop, for some reason it doesn't connect anymore and the kentworkmanager application is different than the one i was using, i think it changed during updates, is there a way for me to reset the configuration of the wireless
[21:14] <AdrianStrays> lamego, as in gksu chmod 440 /etc/sudoers?
[21:15] <Lamego> AdrianStrays, you can start with something simpler, like gksu
[21:15] <Zeker> Hello gentlemen.  I was assigned to fix a computer that is to use linux, and I was given the computer and a disc containing a "partimage" file.  I was told that it's the image file that needs to go into the PC, but I have no idea how to do it.  I'm pretty much a linux novice, can somebody please help me?
[21:15] <FastZ> ninjaslim: what is kentworkmanger?
[21:15] <Lamego> and then, nautilus
[21:15] <ninjaslim> FastZ: knetworkmanager i mean
[21:15] <Lamego> just to check if it will run it bypassing the sudoers file check
[21:15] <FastZ> ninjaslim: i fat fingered that anyway...
[21:16] <ninjaslim> FastZ: KDE network managing module
[21:16] <AdrianStrays> lamego, I don't understand what the command gksu does
[21:16] <Lamego> Zeker, you will need a livecd with the partimage app, for the restore
[21:16] <ninjaslim> FastZ: what i realy need to know is how to reset all network config
[21:16] <Lamego> AdrianStrays, it will run a command with root privileges, sudo alike, but with a graphical prompt
[21:16] <daemon4> Is flightgear kind of screwy for everybody else?
[21:16] <_Net> I was listneing to music and all of a sudden xmms stopped. Now it says "Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin seleected"
[21:17] <daemon4> _Net: xmms crashes for me, too.
[21:17] <daemon4> That's why I use Amarok.
[21:17] <_Net> But Now I cant play anything else
[21:17] <Lamego> Zeker, check http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[21:17] <daemon4> _Net In any app?
[21:17] <_Net> like I i open a youtube video it plays 1-2 secs then freezes
[21:17] <Zeker> lamengo, I downloaded and used the system rescue cd 1.0.1 for linux and it has partimage.  The problem is though that it won't let me swap out the disc for the one containing the partimage file.
[21:17] <AdrianStrays> lamego, it doesn't appear to be working.  I run it, then type in "chmod 440 /etc/sudoers" which was suggested by someone else, but nothing appears to happen
[21:18] <DarkWolf2008> Is anyone familiar with fixing the nvidia graphics card issue in 7.10
[21:18] <Lamego> Zeker, anyway, probably your question would be better answered at ##linux, since it's not ubuntu specific
[21:18] <daemon4> _Net: Okay, then, I'm stumped.  Sorry.
[21:18] <_Net> Darn.
[21:18] <daemon4> What's your sound card?
[21:18] <rwarner-tsc-ats> Does anyone know the equivilent of cntrl alt del in Ubuntu to bring up the menu to shut down processes when the screen hangs and only the mouse pointer works

[21:19] <Lamego> rwarner-tsc-ats, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[21:19] <AdrianStrays> Lamego, nothing
[21:19] <_Net> My soundcard has been working for the past 2 years. its not the soundcard cause i know it works, its gotta be something else that did to it
[21:19] <Lamego> AdrianStrays, please show me the ls output

[21:24] <Jason> Is there a way to alter nvidia fan speeds for your GPU in ubuntu?
[21:25] <Daisuke_Ido> AdrianStrays, you can still get to the grub menu, you just have to hit esc right around the time it says loading grub stage 1.5
[21:25] <Animortis> mwe, I appreciate the help. It turns out it was a problem with my configuration file and I found the error after a verbose reboot. It's been fixed and I'm cruising now.
[21:25] <Johnson_> kook

[21:40] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, it's not if you know what you're doing.
[21:40] <Dudeeee34> my router is configured on this laptop though

[21:41] <ecchi> trying to install ubuntu (Gutsy) onto Dell Optioplex 170L -- the DVD-Rom acts like its going REALLY slow (well its spinning a lot/accessing the contents).. but can't seem to load live Disk fully.. talking like 30 mins just to get part the of live Desktop loaded (with icons still slowly loading). Ideas?
[21:41] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, do you see your card with ifconfig or iwconfig?
[21:41] <Coder7> I'm am having a hell of a time trying to get OpenLDAP + TLS to work while testing 8.04, any ideas?
[21:41] <ecchi> I have tried the dvd-rom in another computer, and it installed Gutsy fairly fast
[21:41] <Dudeeee34> Where do i find iconfig?
[21:41] <Dudeeee34> Or the other thing?
[21:41] <noodlesgc> Coder7 #ubuntu+1
[21:42] <Coder7> noodlesgc: ;) thanks
[21:42] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, those are commands you would issue from a root console.
[21:42] <achandrashekar_> Baby_Shambl3s: Why not write a bash script that does that?  mkdir newdirectory cp -r /var /newdirectory then chown -R  whoever:whatever newdirectory
[21:42] <Dudeeee34> What are they?
[21:42] <Starnestommy> Dudeeee34: or in a terminal with "sudo" before the commands
[21:42] <noodlesgc> ecchi you could use the alternate cd
[21:42] <Starnestommy> Dudeeee34: they're utilities for managing internet interfaces
[21:42] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, sorry, this is Ubuntu!!
[21:42] <ecchi> alternate cd?
[21:42] <Dudeeee34> Ok
[21:43] <noodlesgc> ecchi it installs from a command line interface
[21:43] <noodlesgc> ecchi there should be a checkbox when you are downloading
[21:43] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, there should be a program in your menu called "term", "terminal", "console", "kterm" etc

[21:44] <gustavo_> plus a message in my language
[21:44] <Dudeeee34> Alright it gave me the types of internet
[21:44] <Dudeeee34> like Eth1 and lo.
[21:45] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, that should list your network devices. "sudo iwconfig" should list all of your wireless devices
[21:45] <noodlesgc> gustavo_ what is the audio choice set to?
[21:45] <gustavo_> hey guys, Ubuntu cannot recognize my microfone. when I go to System->Preferences->Sounds->Test sound rec it gives me an error  ---> gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat:
[21:45] <Dudeeee34> It says eth1 eth0 and lo
[21:45] <Dudeeee34> Dose this mean i have wireless or no?
[21:46] <noodlesgc> gustavo_ what audio driver is that drop-down list set to?
[21:46] <thannoy> ryanakca: something "ssh accoutB@B -L 2227:<IP_ADDRESS>:2227"  should give you a local 2227 port on A which is bind to B:2227
[21:46] <Daisuke_Ido> Dudeeee34, it could, you're going to have to be a little more specific
[21:46] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, do either of the eth ones look different? do you have any output from iwconfig?
[21:46] <Lamego> ryanakca, ssh server_a -L2227:server_b:2227
[21:46] <Dudeeee34> No not at all
[21:46] <Dudeeee34> they look the exact same.
[21:47] <Lamego> ops, I did a different interpretation
[21:47] <Auctionedllama> Hey guys
[21:47] <Auctionedllama> how do I add widgets ?
[21:47] <ryanakca> thannoy: thanks :)
[21:47] <noodlesgc> Auctionedllama widgets? to what?
[21:48] <Seven_Six_Two> Dudeeee34, can you type "sudo lspci -vv" and copy the output to a pastebin?
[21:48] <mrkeishii> how do I download 8.04LTS using the Terminal?
[21:48] <noodlesgc> mrkeishii wget <url>
[21:48] <Auctionedllama> noddlesgc I have seen desktop widgets in screenys before.. how do I open them?
[21:48] <mrkeishii> what is the url
[21:48] <m3ltd0wn123> beep, by far the coolest command ever.
[21:48] <idg> hello fellow ubuntu people - my first time in IRC after using linux for years - very strange
[21:48] <zhuge0859> i think i broke direct rendering on my x61s (intel graphics) by installing xserver-xgl.  how do i get direct rendering back?
[21:48] <Auctionedllama> or get them etc, (I am running 8.04 fyi)
[21:48] <Kopfgeldjaeger> n8
[21:49] <ryanakca> thannoy: wait, but A:2227 -> B:2227 goes through B:22 first, correct?
[21:49] <mrkeishii> what is the url
[21:49] <thannoy> ryanakca: yes, it is a tunnel through ssh which run on port 22
[21:49] <noodlesgc> mrkeishii http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso
[21:49] <Dudeeee34> Where do i paste it?
[21:50] <ryanakca> thannoy: splendid, thanks :)
[21:50] <mrkeishii> thanks
[21:50] <noodlesgc> mrkeishii thats the x86 image btw.
[21:50] <Seven_Six_Two> >>anyone jump in? is there an official pastebin for the channel?
[21:50] <mrkeishii> thanks
[21:50] <Seven_Six_Two> lol nm...
[21:50] <ryanakca> thannoy: one more question, why is it that that command connects me to B:22 as if I went 'ssh B', instead of creating a tunnel?
[21:50] <mrkeishii> just what i needed

[21:51] <mrkeishii> Well How do you install it after?
[21:51] <gustavo_> noodlesgc: I tried all of them
[21:51] <mrkeishii> Well How do you install it after?

[21:52] <gustavo_> ...
[21:52] <Laptop765> does anybody happen to know of a workaround to install the tpb package (thinkpad buttons) without removing ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop?
[21:52] <thannoy> ryanakca: it does both. This command connect to remote ssh server (B:22) and ask this server to tunnel its local port 2227 through the same socket that the one used to connect B:22 (if I have understood your last question)
[21:52] <petterah> hello all :) will hardy still keep the human theme, or will it use the new gtk theme with the orange vertical bar?

[21:53] <Baby_Shambl3s> how can i copy an error log but at the same time take away root ownership i.e. cp --no-preserve ownership /var/log/mpd/error.log ~/.mpd but the file is still owned by root which is not whats meant to happen?
[21:53] <noodlesgc> petterah hardy has Human
[21:53] <yggwork> hello, i am suspecting abad drive on my laptop
[21:53] <yggwork> how can i force a total hard fsck on it ? i have to do it when it reboots i think
[21:53] <petterah> the good ol' human? nice, i didn't like the new gtk theme with the orange bar.. but its easy to change though..
[21:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck
[21:53] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[21:53] <ryanakca> thannoy: OK. Sorry, what's happening with the command is the same thing had I gone 'ssh B'. It doesn't appear to be creating a tunning going A:2227->B:22->B:2227
[21:54] <ryanakca> thannoy: it just creates a plain ssh connection for me
[21:54] <thannoy> ryanakca: and yes, while this tunnel is running, you are on the ssh prompt, as if you do not use -L. You should got the prompt and the tunnel should be running.

[22:02] <ryanakca> thannoy: ok, another question. How can I background that tunnel, because I'm going to have programs on A connect to B:2227 through it?
[22:02] <yggwork> 2
[22:02] <wubrgamer_> ryanakca ssh?
[22:02] <gustavo_> Jack_Sparrow thanks, I will try
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:02] <yggwork> uh sudo shutdown -F -r now didnt run fsck on boot. is there a nother way ?
[22:02] <ryanakca> wubrgamer_: yes
[22:03] <Lamego> yggwork, using a live cd ?
[22:03] <yggwork> no
[22:03] <yggwork> oh
[22:03] <yggwork> maybe
[22:03] <yggwork> thats a good idea i guess
[22:03] <serge87> hello all
[22:03] <ryanakca> wubrgamer_: original question being ``I have ssh access to server 'B'. On 'B', I have port 2227 open /locally/. How can I access port 2227 on 'B' from 'A' using an ssh-tunnel? That's to say A:2227->B:22->B:2227 ''
[22:03] <serge87> what's better to install, xfce or xubuntu-desktop ?
[22:03] <thannoy> thannoy: to background it, you will have to use RSA authentication for example (to not have to type password) and to launch it as a fork or with '&' at the end of a command line
[22:04] <Arek> How do I remove an sda shortcut from desktop?
[22:04] <yassine> hi is there a way to create a directory rekursivly something like mkdir -option /new/directory/test ?
[22:04] <ryanakca> thannoy: I have my ssh-key on the server, yes. However, 'ssh -f ryanak.ca -L 2227:localhost:2227' gives me 'Cannot fork into background without a command to execute.

[22:07] <gustavo_> Jack_Sparrow : http://pastebin.ca/992470
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> gustavo_, I dont see you in #Alsa with the link to your config?
[22:07] <mrkeishii> how do you install XMMS?
 I've gone
[22:08] <ryanakca> thannoy: eh? Why would I use fork() in C? *doesn't even know C* -f is to background the ssh connection, isn't it?
[22:08] <BobSapp> I installed some packages, but now my hard drive is full, how do I remove those packages that have been downloaded?
[22:08] <noodlesgc> mrkeishii sudo apt-get install xmms
[22:08] <mrkeishii> okay

[22:09] <mrkeishii> yeah
[22:09] <CJS3141> I'm using Ubuntu inside VirtualBox with the host OS as Windows. If I want to automatically mount a shared folder when starting up Ubuntu, what is the best way of doing this? BTW to mount the volume I have to use a special command "mount.vboxsf" instead of a normal "mount", so I don't know if I can put that in my /etc/fstab. Any ideas?
[22:09] <thannoy> ryanakca: oh, yes. (didn't know about -f). But it seems -f want a command, so you should try not use it and append a "&" and the end of the comand line for example (to have the ssh connexion as a job and not lost prompt))
[22:10] <noodlesgc> mrkeishii no sudo apt-get install xmms2
[22:10] <mrkeishii> okay
[22:10] <mrkeishii> thanks
[22:10] <ryanakca> thannoy: ok, thanks :)
[22:11] <Tombombidil> newbie question: can 7.10 mount ntfs drives?
[22:11] <LSG> tombombidil Yes
[22:11] <Tombombidil> LSG: Thanks
[22:14] <gogeta> :-/
[22:15] <Tombombidil> another newbie question: I need to mount the primary partition of my HDD, which Gparted lists as lacking a mount point (the recovery drive is listed as mounted in /media). what do I do?
[22:15] <gogeta> Tombombidil sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/wherever
[22:15] <muiko> I'm getting poor video/dvd playback at the moment, when I run XVINFO I get "no adaptors present"  Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[22:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !intelhda
[22:15] <ubotu> For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[22:15] <gogeta> !mount
[22:15] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[22:16] <Tombombidil> Gogeta: Will sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 work?
[22:16] <christopher> why are these broadcom wireless cards such a pain
[22:16] <gogeta> Tombombidil if you made a dir called hda1 in mnt yes
[22:16] <gogeta> Tombombidil ubuntu likes to use /meda/wherever
[22:16] <noodlesgc> christopher because the drivers are proprietary
[22:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Tombombidil, did you create a mount point
[22:17] <gogeta> Tombombidil so make its /media/hda1
[22:17] <christopher> how do i get it to work then? is it possible
[22:17] <Tombombidil> Gogeta: when I do that command, I get a message stating that mount is denied because the drive is in use
[22:17] <gogeta> Tombombidil then its mounted
[22:17] <Tombombidil> I created the mount point /mnt/hda1
[22:17] <opensuse> Hi, I just installed openSUSE on a seperate partition then my ubuntu distro and I accidently installed the boot loader while installing. Is there a way to change it so that Ubuntu's GRUB is used?
[22:17] <Tombombidil> oh, it's mounted? where do I find that?
[22:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Tombombidil, like gogeta  says mkdir /media/hda1    first   then /dev/hda1 /media/hda1
[22:18] <gogeta> Tombombidil probly in media dir
[22:18] <noodlesgc> christopher you need the bcm43xxx-fwcutter package
[22:18] <christopher> where can i find that?
[22:18] <Tombombidil> only the Recovery drive is listed in the media drive
[22:19] <noodlesgc> christopher sudo apt-get install bcm43xxx-fwcutter
[22:19] <gogeta> Tombombidil is that hda1
[22:19] <gogeta> Tombombidil 1 is just a number
[22:19] <gogeta> Tombombidil it can be hda9
[22:19] <gogeta> lol
[22:19] <FloodBot1> gogeta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:19] <gogeta> Tombombidil just depends on how many partations you have
[22:19] <Jack_Sparrow> gogeta, agreed the mount point is just a name you create
[22:20] <LSG> gogeta: Couldn't it be sda? Or was that GRUB's way of naming partitions? I forget...
[22:20] <Speedy> hi guys, i just installed ubuntu and now my MS office disk wont work with it, is this  a bug?
[22:20] <gogeta> Tombombidil can be sda yep
[22:20] <christopher> ok it's downloading and extracting now
[22:20] <gogeta> Tombombidil but hda still works
[22:20] <LSG> Speedy: o.o
[22:20] <gogeta> oops wrong name
[22:20] <christopher> it's done extracting
[22:20] <Tombombidil> Gparted lists the available partitions as hda1 (67 Gb, the drive I need to mount), hda2, the recovery drive, and some unallocated space
[22:21] <tzd> how do i add rss feeds from Firefox to akregator please?
[22:21] <unop> Speedy, eh? linux does not understand windows installers .. you'll need to use wine or something like it to install office
[22:21] <LSG> gogeta: I'll ask you instead of telling Tombombidil cause i'm not sure, but how about trying to unmount the partition and mounting it back?
[22:21] <gogeta> Tombombidil normaly ubuntu will call it just that 64gb drive
[22:22] <christopher> noodlesgc, it's done thanks for your help btw
[22:22] <gogeta> Tombombidil clicking that in natuls should take you there
[22:22] <seabeast> unop: it's a troll, don't feed it
[22:22] <noodlesgc> christopher no problem
[22:22] <christopher> noodlesgc, now do i need to reboot?
[22:22] <Tombombidil> gparted claims that the 60 Gb drive is unmounted
[22:22] <noodlesgc> christopher yes i think so
[22:22] <gogeta> Tombombidil agreed try sudo umount /dev/hda1 then mount it again where you would like it
[22:23] <christopher> noodlesgc, ok then i'll be back soon ;)
[22:23] <unop> seabeast, is that an order?
[22:23] <Tombombidil> same result
[22:23] <mrkeishii> How do you install a Screensaver?
[22:23] <yggwork> odd, is there a way to fsck swap space ?
[22:23] <LSG> Tombombidil: Still "in use"?
[22:23] <Tombombidil> it successfully unmounts, then when I try to remount it I get still in use
[22:24] <mrkeishii> How do you install a Screensaver?
[22:24] <gogeta> Tombombidil it sounds like ubuntu was it someplace
[22:24] <seabeast> unop: obviously not, just an advice on how to use your energy more efficiently
[22:24] <gogeta> Tombombidil have you checked in media fully
[22:24] <Tombombidil> could this be the result of not properly shutting the computer down?
[22:24] <seabeast> :)
[22:24] <olegkorneit> is there a built-in IRC in ubuntu?
[22:24] <gogeta> Tombombidil it might be called windows
[22:24] <LSG> gogeta: Haha
[22:25] <Exteris> olegkorneit, pidgin
[22:25] <Tombombidil> there's only one thing there, RECOVERY.
[22:25] <mrkeishii> How do you install a Screensaver?
[22:25] <unop> seabeast, thanks but i've been in here long enough to know that people do make presumptions like that :)
[22:25] <LSG> Exteris: Pidgin has IRC??
[22:25] <craig> what's the best option to get photoshop up and running, 1. install wine 2. use vmware
[22:25] <noodlesgc> mrkeishii just go into synaptic and search for screensaver
[22:25] <gogeta> LSG thats what mine did be defult
[22:25] <mrkeishii> oh okay
[22:25] <gogeta> LSG 32gb drive i clicked it then it got named windows without me doing anything
[22:26] <LSG> gogeta: Creepy... mine have always been hda# or sda#
[22:26] <chamuco> Hi I hooked a new HD and my boot is messed up now i get to a screen that says GDM could not write to HD possibly out of space I press OK and says couldn't start xserver
[22:26] <chamuco> I have dapper
[22:26] <gogeta> LSGim just talking the mount name not dev lol
[22:26] <chamuco> i had to start up my winblows
[22:27] <mrkeishii> yeah, but which do i install? I downloaded a screensaver from Gnome-look.org and I want to install the screensaver I downloader
[22:27] <LSG> gogeta: Haha, i was hoping you were =<
[22:27] <mrkeishii> downloaded*
[22:27] <gogeta> LSG hey thers a idea
[22:27] <gogeta> LSG looks in /dev/hda1 it should take him wherever its mounted
[22:27] <mrkeishii> yeah, but which do i install? I downloaded a screensaver from Gnome-look.org and I want to install the screensaver I downloaded
[22:27] <LSG> gogeta: But...is the dir. even there?

[22:29] <Tombombidil> gogeta: yes, I just want to recover the data on hda1.
[22:29] <sivel27> hello everyone
[22:29] <bent_> Hey again again #ubuntu. Was hoping someone could help me get my broadcom card to work before I go out and buy a USB wireless card. It's a BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02). It dosen't have an interface I can find, but it is detected by lspci. Ive tried 4 different how-tos on the forums, and 2 wiki entries... between 5 clean installs. The b43 drivers do not work (i.e !broadcom is a nogo.)
[22:29] <gogeta> Tombombidil well is your files there
[22:29] <mr_boo> LSG: how did you install it?
[22:29] <mrkeishii> nah doesn
[22:29] <gogeta> Tombombidil if they it means its mounted
[22:29] <mrkeishii> does not help
[22:29] <christopher> bent_, good luck.. i've been trying for a week
[22:29] <sivel27> does anyone know, by chance, if the repos are slow bandwidth-wise today?, or is it just my nic?
[22:30] <LSG> mr_boo: I just got the restricted drivers and it worked perfectly. Are you having problems with it?
[22:30] <Tombombidil> oh, what you're saying is, the livecd treats hda1 as its filesystem?
[22:30] <bent_> christopher: Thanks, but I'm soon going to end up getting a usb card... or something. Maybe.
[22:30] <mr_boo> LSG: it starts in low graphics mode
[22:30] <gogeta> Tombombidil oh your live
[22:30] <Tombombidil> yeah
[22:30] <christopher> bent_, that is what i'm considering but i want to make sure it's going to work before i buy it
[22:30] <LSG> Tombombidil: I didn't know you were on a live session..
[22:30] <Tombombidil> sorry, I thought I made that clear
[22:30] <mr_boo> LSG: i tried to install this, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.04-pkg1
[22:30] <gogeta> Tombombidil haha yea i think it does
[22:31] <_Rambaldi_> jaffarkel, hi
[22:31] <rinaldi_> hi, I was reading up on the ubuntu website about the mobile version. How does that work? Is it available in any current devices?
[22:31] <LSG> mr_boo: Why not the restricted drivers? They seem to work just fine.
[22:31] <linkmaster03> How can I find the exact model of my Realtek High Definition Audio sound card?
[22:31] <mr_boo> LSG: where do i get them?
[22:31] <Tombombidil> I'm terribly sorry, I thought I said that in my first question.
[22:31] <gogeta> Tombombidil the the letterings gonna differ
[22:31] <christopher> bent_, my light doesn't even come on does yours
[22:31] <LSG> mr_boo: Are you using Gnome?
[22:31] <mr_boo> LSG: yup
[22:31] <gogeta> Tombombidil try using hda2
[22:31] <crimsun> linkmaster03: look in /proc/asound/card0/codec*
[22:32] <Tombombidil> really? Gparted lists hda2 as the recovery drive
[22:32] <gogeta> or sda1
[22:32] <bent_> christopher: Nope, not on my tx1308nr ... And nothing is happening.
[22:32] <Tombombidil> I tried sda1 first
[22:32] <gogeta> the hda3
[22:32] <LSG> mr_boo: Ok, then go to System--Administration--Restricted Drivers Manager
[22:32] <BobSapp> wow
[22:32] <BobSapp> someone using my old handle
[22:32] <Tombombidil> there's no hda3 listed, will that work?
[22:32] <gogeta> yea hda3 should be it
[22:32] <mrkeishii> how do i install files from my desktop using terminal?
[22:32] <gogeta> Tombombidil live recovery and win
[22:32] <gogeta> Tombombidil in that order
[22:33] <Tombombidil> I'm sorry, I don't understand what you meant.
[22:33] <gogeta> Tombombidil your partation order
[22:33] <LSG> Tombombidil: Are you trying to burn the files from that partition to a cd/dvd or transfer them to another partition?
[22:33] <Tombombidil> Oh!
[22:33] <linkmaster03> crimsun: the card0 folder isn't there. My sound card does not currently work at all on Ubuntu therefore I am trying to find the exact model to get the drivers
[22:33] <mr_boo> LSG: i don't have such a manager
[22:33] <Tombombidil> transfer them to an external fileserver
[22:33] <LSG> mr_boo: Uh...what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[22:34] <mr_boo> LSG: gutsy
[22:34] <crimsun> linkmaster03: then start with `lspci -nv|grep -A1 0403'
[22:34] <LSG> mr_boo: That's...odd. It should be there. Are you sure you looked in the right menu?
[22:34] <gogeta> Tombombidil hda3 should be what you need
[22:34] <gogeta> Tombombidil im suprised the live cd isnt doing this for you
[22:34] <mr_boo> LSG: ah, i think i found it
[22:34] <Tombombidil> ok, I'll give it a shot
[22:35] <sivel27> anyone else having slow repo download ?
[22:35] <Tombombidil> I was also surprised, it might be, where should I look to find out?
[22:35] <mrkeishii> how to install a file from desktop using terminal???
[22:35] <mr_boo> LSG: it says stuff about third party drivers
[22:35] <christopher> bent_, i think i'm just going to give up ever thinking i can get my wireless to work it's just to frustrating
[22:35] <LSG> mr_boo: Yeah, agree to it and let it download them
[22:35] <gogeta> Tombombidil open places home
[22:35] <gogeta> Tombombidil and in the left sidebar you should see all your harddisk
[22:35] <Auctionedllama> !hardy | Auctionedllama
[22:35] <bent_> christopher: agreed. But wireless is mission critical if I ever want to use internet... for most of my day.
[22:35] <LSG> mr_boo: You'll need to reboot the system after it's done.
[22:36] <LSG> gogeta: Why didn't i think of that....?
[22:36] <mr_boo> LSG: it this all to it?
[22:36] <linkmaster03> crimsun: this comes up: 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:27d8 (rev 02)
[22:36] <linkmaster03>         Subsystem: 1179:ff01
[22:36] <christopher> bent_, same here.  that's the entire point of a laptop.
[22:36] <jaffarkel> :#ubuntu+1 j
[22:36] <gogeta> LSG :P
[22:36] <mrkeishii> how to install a file from desktop using terminal???
[22:36] <LSG> mr_boo: Should be, yeah. Reboot and see if it worked.
[22:36] <mr_boo> cool
[22:36] <mr_boo> be back
[22:37] <olegkorneit> non-ubuntu --- im trying to copy over important files onto an external drive (connected through USB) which has 255GB free space left. Im trying to through a video over onto it (4gb) and its saying there isnt enough space and isnt letting me transfer. any ideas?
[22:37] <bent_> christopher: If you have the same computer as me... well, atleast everything else works. Except the headphone port.
[22:37] <Tombombidil> that's exactly what I see, however, when I double click on the volume I want to see, it says cannot mount volume, and under details, it says that the logfile indicates an unclean shutdown
[22:37] <erUSUL> olegkorneit: which file system has the drive?
[22:37] <christopher> can anyone assist with a broadcom wireless ?  i
[22:37] <erUSUL> !broadcom | christopher
[22:37] <ubotu> christopher: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[22:37] <Tombombidil> and then starts talking about the NTFS drive being marked as in use
[22:37] <gogeta> Tombombidi it means you need to boot windows and run chkdsk
[22:38] <gogeta> Tombombidi if you can get that far
[22:38] <LSG> Tombombidil: I'm assuming, of course, that something happened to your Windows partition, right?
[22:38] <thannoy> olegkorneit: your extrenal drive is in fat32? fat32 can't manage >4GB files
[22:38] <Tombombidil> yes
[22:38] <Tombombidil> we're having problems with audio
[22:38] <olegkorneit> damn it... thats my problem then.. it is a fat32
[22:38] <Tombombidil> among other things
[22:38] <olegkorneit> thanks
[22:38] <LSG> Tombombidil: But..can you boot your Win partition?
[22:38] <Tombombidil> chkdisk was run 2 days ago with no errors
[22:38] <gogeta> Tombombidi ok start windows let chkdsk run and boot the cd again
[22:38] <Tombombidil> windows partition no longer boots
[22:39] <skarface> Tombombidil: are you hibernating windows instead of shutting it down?
[22:39] <gogeta> Tombombidi as long as it can boot chkdsk thats fine
[22:39] <LSG> Tombombidil: I was afraid you were gonna say that =(
[22:39] <ashdkjahksdas> free mp3 http://www.pc10.com.br
[22:39] <Tombombidil> yes, windows was often hibernated
[22:39] <skarface> Tombombidil: that will 'cause "in use" on the linux side
[22:39] <bent_> christopher: Here goes yet another attempt at me installing it.
[22:40] <gogeta> Tombombidi we can force mount it being we can tell where the drive is in /dev if need be but thats a lasty resort
[22:40] <Don_Sergo> âñåì äîáðîé íî÷è
[22:40] <Tombombidil> the computer was completely shut down before booting the livecd
[22:40] <christopher> i have 8.04 and it says the drivers are already included but it doesn't even recognize the wifi
[22:40] <gogeta> Tombombidi yea you need to pull windows out of hibernate
[22:40] <thannoy> olegkorneit: you can split your files in 4B subfiles to backup them, the command split can do it. Then you will have to concatenate files by "cat file1 file2 file3 > fileall"
[22:41] <ijn> hi all
[22:41] <fAlCoNNiAn> christopher, did you open up the terminal and try a iwconfig?
[22:41] <christopher> 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02)
[22:41] <Liorc> is it any possible to remove the "hda1" and "hda2" icons of my desktop without unmounting them or deleting the content ?
