[13:09] <neiljay> Is there a problem with the fiesty repositories at the mo, i get this when trying to update : "Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404 Not Found"
[13:09] <perlsyntax> anyone use a aircard with linux before?
[13:09] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: opened system > preferences > appearance, dragged 84355-diehard.tar.gz onto it
[13:09] <pecko> jrib: i just know ther's something like udevd-event :run_program: 'path/to/the/program' abnormal exit
[13:10] <jrib> neiljay: feisty is end of life.  It is no longer supported.  You need to upgrade as this means you are no longer receiving security upgrades
[13:10] <jrib> !upgrade > neiljay
[13:10] <pecko> jrib: and then something about /bin/sh that it cannot be found and permission denied
[13:10] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: then I get "Installation for theme "diehard" failed.
[13:10] <Milk_Rulz> Can't move directory over directory"
[13:11] <jrib> pecko: it's not hard to give exact errors, paraphrasing them usually just causes confusion.  I can't help you like this.  But include what you know in your questions I guess and maybe someone else can recognize the issue
[13:11] <KingWilliam> Do you already have the theme installes Milk_Rulz ?
[13:11] <Milk_Rulz> I have the emerald theme installed
[13:12] <vinja-sheep> Night, world.
[13:12] <vikku> jrib : http://pastebin.com/d61305431
[13:12] <KingWilliam> I think they are fighting for some reason. Wait a sec pls
[13:12] <farf> anyone know anything about my graphics issue?  i cant get to the command prompt (or at least dont know how), and i cant do anything through the popup on boot about low graphics mode
[13:13] <jrib> vikku: looks like xv is in there.  Does « gmplayer » give you an error?
[13:13] <vikku> lemme c
[13:13] <pecko> jrib: if u don have running os its very very hard to give exact errors. but i still can take a paper and pen and write down them from screnn:P
[13:13] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, I am not sure, but this little trick might help you
[13:14] <jrib> pecko: when you have exact errors, you can usually just google them, that's why they're so helpful :)
[13:14] <pecko> jrib: or i can make a picture with my camera:D
[13:14] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, open the tar.gz file with file-roller (just double-click the file) and rename the folder called "diehard" to something else
[13:14] <pecko> jrib: ive tried... but no result. its why im here
[13:14] <vikku> jrib : http://pastebin.com/m64d5f2bd
[13:14] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, close the archive and try to install again (either by drag n drop or by the button)
[13:14] <vikku> it did fiv some err
[13:15] <vikku> giv*
[13:15] <jrib> vikku: and « gmplayer -vo xv » ?
[13:15] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: your a genious :P
[13:16] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: but there is 1 last thing it's missing, the transparency :(
[13:16] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: before it didn't have any color, but now it does.
[13:16] <jrib> vikku: never mind, I see "Warning unknown option vo_driver at line 2" now.  Change "vo_driver" to "vo" as that's what it is in mplayer's non-gui conf
[13:17] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, as far as I know GTK themes can not have transperency. But emerald themes do. So you head over to the emerald manager and choose your emerald theme there. I can not perfectly remember but i guess there is a customize button
[13:17] <TecR0c> how do you open a iso image through the terminal?
[13:17] <jrib> vikku: or better yet, just delete that line in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf and add the following to your ~/.mplayer/config:  vo=xv
[13:18] <KingWilliam> Mil_Arg, In the customize window you can do whatever you want with it. (like adding transparency)
[13:18] <Jeruvy> TecR0c: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html
[13:18] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: I'm not finding a customize button, there is an Edit Themes tab and above that an "Emerald Settings" tab
[13:18] <farf> how do i install video drivers without being able to boot to the desktop
[13:19] <clarks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/107309/
[13:19] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, Edit themes will do the trick :D
[13:19] <clarks> can anyone check for me ..and how to fixed it
[13:19] <jrib> clarks: open ~/.ssh/known_hosts in a text editor and delete line 10
[13:20] <clarks> jrib wait
[13:20] <clarks> ~$ open ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[13:20] <clarks> Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console <--this is the answer
[13:20] <filosofico> hi! ... How I can use update-alternatives to move to java5 without change all the entries one by one (java, javac, javadoc and so on) ?
[13:21] <jrib> clarks: use « gedit » not « open »
[13:21] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: I'm on edit themes, now what?
[13:21] <jrib> !multijava | filosofico
[13:21] <directhex> ladies & gents, may i present to you, a shameless plug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6584115
[13:21] <OllyM> hi chaps Whats the best way to install all OS patches and fixes for Ubuntu LTS **without*** overwriting any configs with the defaults that come with the updates?? Is it to use -safeupgrade ?
[13:22] <filosofico> jrib: thanks, I know the update-alternatives command, I'm asking about use of it ...
[13:22] <directhex> OllyM, apt will not overwrite config files which you have not changed
[13:22] <clarks> jrib, how to fine line 10?
[13:22] <directhex> HAVe changed, even
[13:22] <jrib> filosofico: look closely at what ubottu said
[13:22] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, since I don't use compiz anymore i don't know.
[13:22] <directhex> OllyM, if you change a config file, then there's an md5sum mismatch and apt leaves it alone
[13:22] <farf> how do i get to the terminal without being able to boot into ubuntu??
[13:22] <jrib> clarks: press the down arrow 10 times
[13:22] <jrib> clarks: or 9 I guess.
[13:23] <Milk_Rulz> :(
[13:23] <Theaxiom> Anyone know why I don't have permission to post in the ubuntu forums even after verifying my account?
[13:23] <jrib> Theaxiom: #ubuntuforums
[13:23] <Theaxiom> jrib: thanks
[13:23] <farf> how do i get to the terminal without being able to boot into ubuntu??
[13:24] <Milk_Rulz> KingWilliam: well, you have pretty much done 90% of the whole theme for me, thanks for all of your help
[13:24] <vikku> jrib : done .... but  there is  one more thing like there is a vcd in my cdrom and im not able to input it to mplayer , /media/cdrom doesnt list it ....do i need to install some codec ?
[13:24] <Deon> Ubuntu boots and runs great.. but no internet :(
[13:24] <pentaside1> #wine
[13:24] <pentaside1> ops
[13:24] <Deon> When I switch to ubuntu, the light on my NIC goes out and the one on the router goes out
[13:24] <Deon> but its detecting eth0 and showing me a MAC?
[13:24] <pentaside1> Is there an IRC can for Wine?  Or should I ask that question here
[13:25] <filosofico> jrib: I'm sorry, thanks for the answer :-)
[13:25] <KingWilliam> Milk_Rulz, you are welcome ;)
[13:25] <Deon> pentaside1: #wine is for Wine :)
[13:25] <Deon> pentaside1: #winehq rather
[13:26] <farf> everytime my computer boots i get a screen saying running in low graphics, i cant go any further than this, i cant use any of the options it gives me, what can i do
[13:26] <Milk_Rulz> Does anybody here know how to make transparent windows?
[13:26] <jrib> Milk_Rulz: you may want to try #compiz-fusion
[13:26] <Deon> KingWilliam: btw, thanks heaps for the grub advice... boots fine now :)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis_AAO> compiz  has features to  transparent-ify windows on the fly :)
[13:27] <vikku> jrib : done .... but  there is  one more thing like there is a vcd in my cdrom and im not able to input it to mplayer , /media/cdrom doesnt list it ....do i need to install some codec ?
[13:27] <KingWilliam> Deon, welcome mate :D
[13:28] <Kunalagon> hello, is it possible to share folder using samba in latest ubutnu ?
[13:28] <jrib> vikku: vcd?  So not encrypted using css right?  Try mplayer dvd://
[13:28] <Kunalagon> I mean UBUNTU
[13:28] <jrib> Kunalagon: right click -> sharing options
[13:28] <Deon> KingWilliam: NIC problems instead now :) oh well.. ill get there eventually
[13:28] <Kunalagon> I mean Nautilus
[13:28] <Jeruvy> !samba > Kunalagon
[13:28] <Kunalagon> jrib: and which package do I have to compile to get that in manualy compiled Nautilus?
[13:28] <vikku> jrib: dvd:// ... didnt get it
[13:29] <jrib> Kunalagon: nothing
[13:29] <jrib> vikku: you tried « mplayer dvd:// » ?
[13:29] <Kunalagon> jrib: I compiled Nautilus, and I dont have any share options on right click
[13:29] <jrib> vikku: or maybe: « mplayer dvd://1 »?  I've never played a vcd.  So if those don't work, try asking the channel or #mplayer again
[13:30] <jrib> Kunalagon: ok, next question.... why did you compile nautilus?
[13:30] <Kunalagon> because I need to do that
[13:30] <farf> how can i get passed the notification of ubuntu running in low graphics mode
[13:30] <jrib> Kunalagon: if you want me to help you, please answer my questions....
[13:31] <isojussi> where i can find repos to update 7.04 to 7.10 at first
[13:31] <Kunalagon> because I am using Gentoo, and there is no any binary packages. And guys on  #gentoo knows nothing about nautilus sharing folders using samba
[13:31] <jrib> isojussi: read the link ubottu gave you about GutsyUpgrades
[13:31] <Kunalagon> jrib:
[13:31] <Milk_Rulz> KING! I GOT IT! :D
[13:31] <jrib> Kunalagon: #gentoo for gentoo support, this is #ubuntu
[13:31] <isojussi> can you repost it
[13:31] <Pici> !upgrade | isojussi
[13:32] <Dr_Willis_AAO> Kunalagon,   i would  say check #gnome
[13:32] <Kunalagon> jrib: no help on #gentoo
[13:32] <rodolfo> does anybody here know how i can create my own torrent using Transmission?
[13:32] <jrib> Kunalagon: in ubuntu, you can « apt-get source nautilus » and read debian/rules to see how it was compiled
[13:32] <Kunalagon> I ask there many times
[13:32] <farf> does nobody know anything about my problem or does everyone just think its so simple they're too good to answer?
[13:32] <Kunalagon> jrib: ok, I'll check that
[13:32] <Dr_Willis_AAO> farf,  ive no ideas .. happy?
[13:33] <farf> yes, i am. can you suggest any further line of enquiry or places that i might find a solution.  ive been going through all the support documents on ubuntu.com since last night, every support document assumes i can get to the terminal and input commands, however ive no idea how to do that w/o being able to boot in
[13:33] <vikku> jrib: this is how it looks , soething did try to cum up but exited as soon as it came http://pastebin.com/m727e44f1
[13:34] <matisse> How do I search in files?
[13:34] <jrib> matisse: grep
[13:34] <ezerhoden> farf: what is the problem?
[13:34] <jrib> vikku: don't know then.  You should add the "vo=xv" to your ~/.mplayer/config though since you are using x11 there
[13:35] <pirx_> dpkg --get-selections   <- is this the way to get a list of installed packages in my system?
[13:35] <vikku> jrib: ok lemme try
[13:35] <marek_> hi, i have a problem with my wifi card, it doesnt connect to networks anymore, please help me
[13:35] <OllyM> thanks guys, so what IS the best command to use to update ubuntu with all OS level patches and fixes/updates
[13:35] <OllyM> ?
[13:36] <matisse> jrib: how do I do that recursively ?
[13:36] <jrib> OllyM: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:36] <jrib> matisse: -R
[13:36] <farf> i just installed ubuntu last night, when booting into the desktop for the first time i get a notice saying its running in low graphics mode, the options it gives to reconfigure/etc do not work, i dont know how to get to a place to input some of the commands ive found on support documents, i cant get passed the notification to get into the desktop
[13:36] <ezerhoden> pirx_: dpkg -l > installedpackages  you will then have a file with everything and versions
[13:37] <farf> the only thing i can get to work so far is opening xorg.conf and seeing that......
[13:37] <ezerhoden> farf: what about appending the grub boot line with single ? this will boot you to a root command prompt and you should have access from there
[13:37] <sipior> farf: does Ctl-Alt-F1 get you to a console?
[13:38] <farf> yes it does, thats exactly what i needed to at least put stuff in, ty
[13:38] <vikku> hey jrib : picture just popped up but voice cuts
[13:38] <farf> and ezerhoden, this is my first experience w/ ubuntu, so ive no idea what most of what you said means :p
[13:38] <vikku> jrib: its playing ...bu voice hangs
[13:39] <jrib> vikku: I don't know
[13:39] <matisse> jrib: does -r hang up fast computer ?
[13:39] <jrib> matisse: depends on the fastness I guess
[13:40] <vikku> jrib: nyways thnks for taking it so far
[13:40] <hwilde> how am I supposed to know which nvidia to install? nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-glx-177 nvidia-glx-71 nvidia-glx-173
[13:40] <hwilde> lspci says my graphics card is nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570
[13:41] <Dr_Willis_AAO> the  nvidia guide says :)
[13:41] <hwilde> Dr_Willis_AAO, I should expect such an answer this early huh
[13:41] <hwilde> I just want both of my monitors to work is that too much to ask
[13:41] <hwilde> nvidia-settings wont run because nvidia is not in use
[13:41] <hwilde> nvidia-xconfig trashes the graphical display
[13:41] <Dr_Willis_AAO> hwilde,  install the latezt and work down
[13:41] <hwilde> how do I know which is the latest
[13:42] <Dr_Willis_AAO> bigger #?
[13:42] <quibbler> hwilde, 180
[13:42] <jrib> hwilde: apt-cache show PACKAGE also says what cards it supports.  Or just use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[13:42]  * hwilde shudders - i have to use gui
[13:43] <hwilde> apt-cache show nvidia-glx-180 | grep "Quadro FX 570"      looks like a hit
[13:44]  * hwilde crosses fingers...
[13:45] <lunix> Hi ubuntu folks:)     anyone can help me connect to my wireless network from ubuntu 8.10 server edition  (no GUI)   The wireless adapter is found and drivers seem to work flawlessly.. this is what I have done so far:  ifconfig wlan0 down        then..  iwconfig wlan mode ad-hoc  (hmm ad-hoc??)  then...   iwconfig wlan0 "network name"     then  iwconfig wlan enc a1b2c3d4e5     then ifconfig wlan0 up    ..  the adapter goes grazy blinking,, bu
[13:45] <lunix> t no internet connection :|
[13:45] <matisse> jrib: or maybe: is it a bad idea to grep recursivly in /etc ?
[13:46] <Gnea> !server
[13:47] <Kunalagon> jrib: is this source used in latest Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/nautilus-share/ ?
[13:47] <jrib> Kunalagon: yeah, in the devel version
[13:47] <hwilde> ok I'm in nvidia-settings now.   what is this little checkbox Enable Xinerama?  do I want this?
[13:47] <farf> can anyone tell me a website thats basically a complete idiots guide on installing video drivers :p
[13:48] <jrib> !ati | farf
[13:48] <Kunalagon> jrib: so, it works with Nautilus 2.24 ?
[13:48] <hwilde> !nvidia | farf
[13:48] <farf> ive been looking at that
[13:48] <farf> and it only tells you how to instal it by clicking in the desktop....i cant get to the desktop
[13:48] <Wndows_Error> what command line program will assemble perl?
[13:48] <jrib> Kunalagon: I don't know.  Check the version of the nautilus package in jaunty
[13:48] <lunix> #ubuntu+server
[13:48] <farf> but then if i look at the manual installation guide...its way over my head basically
[13:49] <hwilde> !find nautilus jaunty
[13:49] <vikku> its like some one looping the track song for mplayer
[13:49] <jrib> farf: use vesa as your driver to get to the desktop
[13:49] <chandru> do anyone  know how to remove bluetooth software from ubuntu 8.10 and replace with same software from ubuntu 8.04 ?
[13:50] <farf> how do i specify that, i can only use the command prompt, or edit the xorg.conf file
[13:50] <quibbler> lunix, /join ubuntu-server
[13:50] <Kunalagon> jrib: it is some 2.25 version of nautilus. Do you know where I can find source of nautilus-share used in Ubuntu 8.10 ?
[13:50] <jrib> Kunalagon: you linked to it already.  Use the intrepid sources
[13:51] <jrib> Kunalagon: packages.ubuntu.com may be easier to use

[14:06] <Pici> M25: Generally, nmapping yourself gives inaccurate results. Try from a different computer.
[14:06] <sipior> bashca: first guess is that you were running the ppp daemon without using sudo
[14:06] <farf> when trying to edit my xorg.conf to use vesa drivers, i dont have the line to specify driver, how can i change it
[14:06] <bashca> sipior, yes
[14:06] <breaker> Hello, Ive got a issue with ubuntu server, got a port active in netstat -ap but no process are using it, since I need that port, I need it removed, what can I do?
[14:06] <bashca> sipior, am trying gnome-ppp
[14:07] <Quintasan> Hmm, I've installed LinuxWacom reffering to Ubuntu Wiki, the tablet works but wacomcpl shows there are no devices, I've added entries to xorg.conf by hand, still nothing
[14:07] <M25> pici, that's the only computer behind my home firewall that I have ssh access to, I'm at college, and my firewall blocks all ports but ssh.  Any ideas how I can, say, bounce the nmap off my firewall to get accurate out-of-computer results?
[14:08] <Pici> bashca: try prefixing your netstat command with sudo, it may show a process that you could not see otherwise.
[14:08] <breaker> same thing, only shows "-"
[14:08] <breaker> no process
[14:09] <Pici> M25: I'm not sure how exactly to do that with nmap, sorry.
[14:09] <TT> hello
[14:09] <M25> Pici: thanks anyway, at least I know it's an nmap problem now
[14:09] <M25> Quintasan: if the tablet works, what's the problem?
[14:10] <Quintasan> M25: no pressure sensitivity
[14:10] <bashca_> sipior, thanks i resolved  it
[14:10] <Pici> M25: Not exactly, it just telling you that ufw is still allowing connections from <IP_ADDRESS>, which you usually have no reason to block.
[14:10] <M25> Quintasan: not even in gimp?
[14:10] <Quintasan> M25: also cant bind keys on pad to launch gimp and inkspace
[14:10] <Quintasan> M25: nope
[14:11] <Quintasan> I've installed drivers from prebuilt dir
[14:11] <M25> Quintasan: hm.  I had to set up gimp special to get pressure sensitivity, in its preferences pane
[14:11] <M25> Pici: gotcha

[14:12] <breaker> Pici do u know ? the sudo netstat -ap shows all hte ports current, but the port I asked about only shows "-" in process
[14:13] <hwilde> I installed epiphany but it doesn't show in the menu =-  waht is the command to update the menu applications?
[14:13] <Milk_Rulz> is there a key shortcut to open terminal
[14:13] <hwilde> shift+ctrl+n
[14:13] <Milk_Rulz> thank you
[14:13] <OllyM> why does updating ubuntu fill me with such fear ?
[14:13] <Milk_Rulz> no wait
[14:13] <Milk_Rulz> that creates a new folder
[14:13] <hwilde> Milk_Rulz, if you are in nautilus yeah
[14:13] <Quintasan> M25: I should remove the wacom-tools and input-wacom drivers before installing the linuxwacom? Wiki didnt said that :S
[14:14] <Mood> hello all- is there an easy way of listing current ftp users connected?
[14:14] <M25> hwilde: usually installing updates the menu, you might just need ot make a custom shortcut
[14:15] <matisse> is there something like "removeuser"
[14:15] <Pici> breaker: What state is the connection with the '-' in?
[14:15] <hwilde> ok so with firefox and twinview, why can I only open it in one monitor?  I can open xchat, terminal, almost anything else in both simultaneously
[14:15] <erry> i need to clear my clipboard

[14:17] <KRF> farewell, erry
[14:17] <farf> how do i use vesa drivers, ive found no documentation using google or ubuntu.com
[14:17] <matisse> Mood: thx
[14:17] <Dr_Willis_AAO> farf,  normally edit xorg.conf and set the driver line to be like       driver 'vesa'
[14:17] <Mood> np :)
[14:18] <Dr_Willis_AAO> vesa is normally used when al else fails :)
[14:18] <dennda> Is it possible now to have my swap on an lvm inside an encrypted partition in such a way that suspend to disk still works?
[14:18] <farf> what if my xorg.conf doesnt have the driver line?
[14:18] <Pici> farf: add it.
[14:18] <Dr_Willis_AAO> denna thats  sort of scary :)
[14:19] <M25> dennda: lvm?
[14:19] <farf> so basically just Section "Driver" then identifier "Vesa"?
[14:19] <dennda> M25: logical volume management
[14:19] <Pici> breaker: I'm not sure then.  I was going to say that if it was in a FIN state then it was just the kernel keeping it open for some reason, and that an application wasn't really using it.
[14:19] <troythetechguy> I'm putting together a LAMP server at work and want to make sure I have the latest releases: apache2, php5, mysql5.
[14:20] <breaker> mkey Pici np
[14:20] <dennda> M25: encrypted partition contains lvm, lvm contains two partitions. one swap, one /home. benefit: only one passphrase needed
[14:20] <Dr_Willis_AAO> farf,  my xorg.conf  as an example -->  http://pastebin.com/f3da99899
[14:20] <chandru> hi friends.. can any one tell me how to remove the error bug when trying to open a drive for first time ?
[14:20] <chandru> Unable to mount location
[14:20] <chandru> Internal error: No mount object for mounted volume
[14:20] <chandru> this the eroor i am getting
[14:20] <M25> dennda: I don't know drive-level-encryption, but that does sound pretty cool
[14:21] <Reenen> hi, I am looking for a windows implemetation of the ubuntu 8.10 magnification tool (press hyper and scroll mouse wheel)
[14:21] <genio> I'm going to strangle X windows.
[14:21] <dody_> I'm not
[14:21] <Reenen> anyone know of it?
[14:21] <farf> that doesnt look anything like mine :p
[14:21] <dennda> M25: I'm doing that for quite some time already. Just unsure whether suspend to disk works then
[14:21] <Pici> Reenen: Try asking in ##windows
[14:21] <KingWilliam> Reenen, it is in compiz
[14:21] <KingWilliam> Reenen, do you use compiz?
[14:21] <dennda> M25: since when booting, it tries to read the resume data from the swap; and I don't know if it's already available at that point
[14:22] <M25> dennda: you can always just try it, or would that corrupt the partition?
[14:22] <Quintasan> M25: which version of linuxwacom you use? 0.8.2?
[14:22] <farf> is there a keypress i can do to reboot ubuntu w/o doing hard/soft reboot (as in ctl alt del in windows)
[14:22] <genio> It won't use my NVIDIA card and both monitors.
[14:22] <dennda> M25: no, but potentially waste my time
[14:22] <dennda> i'll just try it now, though
[14:22] <M25> Quintasan: I just followed that wiki link I pasted and did what it told me, then custom-configured gimp
[14:22] <bonhoffer> i just created a mymod.conf in my mods-available directory -- now i want to enable it -- sudo a2enmod mymod produces ERROR: Module mymod does not exist!
[14:23] <Jeruvy> Reenen: try holding down the windows key and use your scroll wheel
[14:23] <zimbres> I do not understand the make utility very well, I changed some files in a directory and when I typed "make" I got the message "nothing to be done for all" How do I mke it compile again?
[14:23] <KingWilliam> Jeruvy, what you tell to Reenen only works when compiz is running
[14:23] <genio> Is there somewhere that I'm unaware of that gives dual monitor setup help for 8.10?  All of the other sites offer suggestions that do not work in 8.10
[14:23] <Reenen> Jeruvy: Yes, on ubunty it works wonderfully, I want it on windows XP
[14:23] <Reenen> *ubuntu
[14:23] <M25> zimbres: you need a makefile
[14:23] <Jeruvy> Reenen: ##windows
[14:23] <Pici> zimbres: make clean usually removes the compiled code, then try `make` again.
[14:24] <KingWilliam> Jeruvy, I knew such a tool. One sec
[14:24] <zimbres> Pici: Thanks, This is what I want
[14:24] <dody_> yes
[14:25] <dody_> yes
[14:25] <genio> nvidia-xconfig does absolutely nothing

[14:26] <fivemack> I get many 404s when I try apt-get update on my feisty machine
[14:26] <KingWilliam> Reenen, your welcome
[14:26] <M25> maybe they canceled the feisty repository?
[14:26] <deany> isnt feisty eol
[14:26] <fivemack> the directory isn't there, but dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid are
[14:26] <matisse> How do I remove a user of a group ?
[14:26] <farf> ok so i added the driver line to xorg.conf and restarted and now i get an error about low graphics mode, and (EE) problem parsing the config file, (EE) error parsing the config file

[14:29] <JesperHansen> dekkong: try playing it in totem first to see what codecs it suggests
[14:30] <dekkong> JesperHansen: I think he tried totem but in totem the movie lags
[14:30] <dekkong> JesperHansen: but the sound did work
[14:30] <bn43> hi does anyone know whether u can configure wvdial to dial on disconnect and startup?
[14:30] <sipior> fivemack: why, is upgrading to the next version not working for you?
[14:31] <dekkong> JesperHansen: you got any clues?
[14:31] <Zzeiss> Is there a way to tell the kernel that it should NOT use the suspend-to-disk image during a reboot, but rather go through the full reboot process again?
[14:32] <JesperHansen> dekkong: no idea then
[14:32] <Milk_Rulz> how do I add startup items?
[14:32] <JesperHansen> dekkong: would probably try mplayer as the first
[14:33] <erUSUL> Milk_Rulz: System>Preferences>Session
[14:33] <bn43> hi does anyone know whether u can configure wvdial to dial on disconnect and startup?

[14:34] <troynt> anyone know what repository start-stop-daemon is located?
[14:34] <troynt> or where I can find their website to download it and install from source..
[14:35] <CrownAmbassador1> bn43: You should be able to add the command to system-preferences-sessions
[14:35] <M25> troynt: try google?
[14:35] <Yann1> I don't know what this means but it worked before. I removed acroread, installed the version from the medibuntu repros and checked the 32-bit dependencies but it doesn't helped :(
[14:35] <oCean_> troynt: you mean init daemon?
[14:35] <sisto> anyone know how to mark my own messages in a different color in x-chat? right now they show up in gray. but i would like them to have a better highlighting color
[14:35] <Loof> Anyone know how to get the 'Terminal Service Client' to stop retrying on disconnect or close?
[14:36] <bn43> CrownAmbassador1: am only using command line - no gui
[14:36] <M25> sisto: ask in #xchat?
[14:36] <sisto> M25: ok i'll try that thx
[14:36] <CrownAmbassador1> Can anyone of you post your original /etc/network/interfaces file please? I don't have my cd with me but need the original contents.
[14:37] <CrownAmbassador1> bn43: okay. Sorry then I don't know. :P
[14:37] <bn43> thanks
[14:37] <dekkong> hello guys! my m8 is trying to play an mkv file in ubuntu 8.10 with VLC and he has no sound
[14:38] <zamba> is it possible to permanently map the special folder Document to a samba share?
[14:38] <M25> dekkong, does he have sound with other applications?  also, does he have firefox open playing, say, a youtube video at the same time?
[14:38] <zamba> Documents*
[14:38] <erUSUL> CrownAmbassador1: on modern releases it has only two lines 1 auto lo 2 iface lo inet loopback
[14:38] <CrYsIsX> hello, when i installed ubuntu 8.10 via windows vista and restarted to get on, i got a lil prob, it took me to DOS after booting =\
[14:39] <dekkong> M25: yes he has totem there he has sound but the movie lags... and he is using alsa
[14:39] <CrownAmbassador1> erUSUL: Thanks. That is what I thought. :-D
[14:39] <CrYsIsX> anybody who can help me?
[14:39] <mysticdarkhack> Morning all?
[14:39] <M25> dekkong: that's a vlc configuration problem probably.  see if you can use different sound setup options in vlc
[14:39] <Quintasan> M25: ok, I see stylus and earser in wacomcpl, no pad but I can live without it, what you set up in gimp? I cant seen anything regarding tablet senitivity
[14:39] <M25> CrYsIsX: you sure it's not just a "choose operating system" screen?
[14:39] <dekkong> M25: ok
[14:40] <M25> Quintasan: look under Inputs, I think
[14:40] <CrYsIsX> Stuff?: when i installed ubuntu 8.10 via windows vista and restarted to get on, i got a lil prob, it took me to DOS after booting
[14:40] <erUSUL> CrYsIsX: you used wubi ?
[14:40] <M25> it was weird, I had to fiddle with it, but I did get it working eventually
[14:40] <CrYsIsX> erUSUL: What?
[14:41] <mysticdarkhack> anyone own sony vaio z?
[14:41] <erUSUL> !wubi | CrYsIsX
[14:41] <troynt> anyone know what repository start-stop-daemon is located in OR where to find start-stop-daemon to install from source?
[14:42] <CrYsIsX> erUSUL: No, i juts downloaded the ubuntu 8.10  from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and installed it via windows
[14:42] <Quintasan> M25: grrr, still no senitivity
[14:42] <oCean_> troynt: "init" is the process mgmt daemon
[14:42] <Pici> CrYsIsX: Did you run an installer within windows? or did you boot from the cd?
[14:42] <CrYsIsX> Installer
[14:42] <M25> Quintasan: sorry man, I sold my wacom after I realized I can't draw worth anything.  Good luck man
[14:42] <Pici> CrYsIsX: That would be the aformentioned Wubi method then.
[14:42] <troynt> oCean_: I'm getting "/etc/init.d/vsftpd: 43: start-stop-daemon: not found"
[14:42] <erUSUL> CrYsIsX: if you installed via/within windows you used wubi
[14:43] <M25> CrYsIsX: again, are you sure it's DOS and not just a "choose operating system" screen?
[14:43] <Milk_Rulz> erUSL: thanks, but say if I wanted aMSN to start up automaticly, how would I find the command
[14:43] <CrYsIsX> i did that, booted then
[14:43] <CrYsIsX> went to DOS
[14:43] <troynt> oCean_:  I think it may be a path issue...
[14:44] <troynt> oCean_: thanks
[14:44] <M25> CrYsIsX: did you select windows or ubuntu when it went to dos?
[14:44] <oCean_> troynt: something wrong on line 43 then.. it's not the init daemon
[14:44] <CrYsIsX> Ubuntu
[14:44] <troynt> oCean_:  Yea I forgot to do a sudo :-x
[14:44] <erUSUL> Milk_Rulz: most likely is "amsn"
[14:44] <Pici> troynt: start-stop-daemon is included in the dpkg package, which I assure you is installed.
[14:44] <toddoon> hi, how do i change resolution in tty?
[14:44] <M25> CrYsIsX: ok, firstly, that's not DOS, that's BASH you're seeing.  Second off, does it stop scrolling text?  if so, what's the last 2 lines it writes?
[14:45] <troynt> Pici: Yea, it is working now, I just forgot to do a sudo, so my path was messed up
[14:45] <oCean_> troynt: yep, that might help :)
[14:45] <CrYsIsX> its an error
[14:45] <Pici> troynt: Ah, thats good then.
[14:45] <M25> CrYsIsX: you know how to use pastebin?
[14:45] <CrYsIsX> no
[14:46] <M25> go to pastebin.com, copy/paste/type in the error (last couple lines of output) then hit Send.  Then paste the URL that it takes you to (which will contain that message) in here, so we can see it.  cuts down on text in the room
[14:47] <M25> go to pastebin.com, copy/paste/type in the error (last couple lines of output) then hit Send.  Then paste the URL that it takes you to (which will contain that message) in here, so we can see it.  cuts down on text in the room
[14:47] <M25> sorry for the repeat, he left/returned
[14:47] <Pici> M25: A Pastebin isn't going to help much if all he has is an error and no graphical environment.
[14:47] <CrYsIsX> Pici: anything i can do?
[14:47] <Pici> CrYsIsX: What does the error say?
[14:47] <whuffor> CrYsIsX: You may as well use the ubuntu pastebin :) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[14:48] <CrYsIsX> umm, i dont remember, sec ima reboot and come back to tell u
[14:48] <M25> Pici: right, sorry, used to being able to pastebin from the command line
[14:48] <zamba> is it possible to mount a nfs share upon logon?
[14:48] <zamba> i'd like to mount a user's home directory over nfs when he/she logs on
[14:48] <Dr_Willis_AAO> zamba yes - in fstab
[14:49] <zamba> Dr_Willis_AAO: but that's not per-user
[14:49] <jb-rite> Howdy folks.
[14:49] <Dr_Willis_AAO> normally one has home on a NFS server
[14:49] <nobu> #fpf
[14:49] <Dr_Willis_AAO>  all of /home/
[14:49] <zamba> Dr_Willis_AAO: i don't want all of home.. i just want one user
[14:50] <Dr_Willis_AAO> how is gdm/kdm gouing to know the default window manager and stuff.. BEFOR the users home is even there? I dont see it happening
[14:50] <jb-rite> I have have just resized a partition on my ubuntu install and installed windows XP on my new partition, reinstalled grub because windows seems to remove it from the MBR  but when I get back into grub I don't see my XP install.
[14:50] <guest_> hi, i need to pit two ip on one NIC from SAME subnet like <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>. how to do it? (U Server)
[14:51] <M25> !grub | jb-rite
[14:51] <farf> when trying to i guess activate nvidia drivers, i go to system, admin, hardware drivers, and click activate, it brings up a box and says download and installing drivers, then disappears and says this driver is not activated
[14:51] <M25> whoops, that's vice-versa
[14:52] <oCean_> zamba: I think it is possible, however it probably requires some scripting and modifying default behaviour of 'login'
[14:52] <sipior> zamba: you can look at setting up an automounter, with each user's home as a separate export. this will not work very well for large numbers of users. also, out of curiosity what advantage do you hope to gain by only mounting the filesystem when the user is logged in?
[14:52] <jb-rite> ubottu: I did lose grub, I've already reinstalled it. -- I'm just not sure why only my ubuntu install is showing up in my grub list
[14:53] <sfuentes> anybody know where the desktop UI settings are stored?
[14:53] <erUSUL> jb-rite: do "sudo update-grub" if that's not enough you will have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the windows entry
[14:53] <wassy121> zamba: There is a custom pam plugin that mounts SMB directories upon user login.  http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/ is non-ubuntu, but may be what you need.
[14:53] <erUSUL> jb-rite: the one that is listed in the comments on the file should work
[14:53] <jb-rite> alrighty erUSUL -- thanks, I'll ty that out.
[14:53] <zamba> sipior: well.. i basically want to create a sandbox environment.. since the same user should be logged onto several different computers at the same time.. this is for a student environment, where the students are too young to have a sense of their own username / password, so it's easier to just have one.. i want to use central ldap authentication for the user and when he/she logs on, create a layer upon the directory
[14:54] <zamba> sipior: upon the home directory
[14:54] <sipior> zamba: how young we talking here?
[14:54] <zamba> sipior: 6 to 12 years of age
[14:54] <zamba> sipior: and believe me, we don't have the staff to constantly change passwords and create new users
[14:54] <sipior> zamba: oh, believe me, there'll have no problem handling a username/password
[14:55] <zamba> sipior: well.. we'll have problems with the maintanance
[14:55] <sipior> zamba: you're going to have to do  maintenance anyway.
[14:55] <zamba> sipior: sure.. but it's easier if it's just one user
[14:55] <Zzeiss> Is there any way to NOT reload the hibernated image when you power-up from a save-to-disk hibernate?
[14:56] <zamba> sipior: and the students are used to saving their documents on a shared samba share, so that will remain the way they're used to
[14:56] <wassy121> Zzeiss: maybe your MB/Laptop/whatever has a special key to hold to cold-boot from scratch?
[14:56] <sipior> zamba: then i would say go with the automounter. for only one user, that'll work just fine.
[14:56] <erUSUL> guest_: use eth0 and eth0:0 as ifaces
[14:56] <CyL> How do I set up the proprietary drivers for my video card in ubuntu 8.10?
[14:57] <erUSUL> CyL: which video card ?
[14:57] <CyL> erUSUL: intel 945gm
[14:57] <sipior> zamba: although really, why not just leave the filesystem mounted? i'm not sure i see the point to remounting it constantly...
[14:57] <zamba> sipior: yeah, i'm considering the same..
[14:57] <erUSUL> CyL: that come preinstalled with ubuntu no need to make any additional step (unlike nvidia/ati)
[14:57] <zamba> sipior: just a permanent nfs mount in fstab
[14:58] <CyL> erUSUL: ubuntu 8.04 would just ask me if I would like to stick with the free driver, or switch to the proprietry one...
[14:58] <CrYsIsX> Pici: i get: end_request: I/O error, dev Sr1 sector 9180272
[14:58] <erUSUL> CyL: with a intel card? there are no propietary intel drivers
[14:58] <zamba> sipior: and then some pam magic to create the union/tmpfs layer upon the users /home
[14:58] <dekkong> hello guys! my m8 is trying to play an mkv file in ubuntu 8.10 with VLC and he has no sound
[14:58] <sipior> zamba: that sounds like a plan, i think
[14:59] <CyL> erUSUL: I've just opened /system/administration/hardware drivers, and there is no driver shown
[14:59] <KingWilliam> CyL, jsut for the info, are nVidia and ATI the only ones that require proprietary drivers?
[14:59] <CyL> erUSUL: the free driver will already give me full acceleration?
[14:59] <erUSUL> CyL: yep it should
[14:59] <CrYsIsX> erUSUL: Can u help me on private?
[15:00] <CyL> KingWilliam, erUSUL: sorry bothering you guys, maybe I'm make a confusion with my other computer that got a geforce video card
[15:00] <erUSUL> !pm
[15:00] <erUSUL> CyL: no problem

[15:02] <DavidVWallin> there is no /usr/bin/php no /usr/local/bin/php no /usr/bin/php5 no /usr/local/bin/php5
[15:02] <DavidVWallin> no nothing
[15:02] <KenBW2> is there an easy way to write a bash script to take a folder with 20,000 files in it and move them into 20 folders with 1000 in each?
[15:02] <DavidVWallin> whereis, local or find cant locate it
[15:03] <wassy121> DavidVWallin: you have to install php-cgi or php-cli most times.
[15:03] <CrYsIsX> urUSUL: Thx
[15:03] <lastent> KingOfDos, there's no sound on the videos, like the youtube ones
[15:03] <wassy121> DavidVWallin: Normally mod_php5 only installs the apache module.
[15:03] <DavidVWallin> wassy121, aaaha
[15:03] <erUSUL> KenBW2: do not know if easy but doable
[15:03] <Subdolus> I have somehow managed to erase both my wifi0 and ath* interfaces while trying to patch madwifi... nor ifconfig or iwconfig can see any wireless intefaces but dmesg does see it
[15:04] <Subdolus> any ieads? :(
[15:04] <KingOfDos> highlight!
[15:04] <Subdolus> ideas*
[15:04] <KingOfDos> ;)
[15:04] <mysticdarkhack> anyone who own a laptop with a buit in webcam and mic, I like to know if they ever have the intergrated mic working in order to use skype?
[15:04] <mysticdarkhack> or ekiga
[15:04] <KenBW2> erUSUL: wouldnt you just loop 1000 times at a time?
[15:04] <erUSUL> KenBW2: ask in #bash very knowledgeable people there... maybe they come up with a onliner XD
[15:04] <KenBW2> erUSUL: good idea
[15:04] <wassy121> Subdolus: Does ifconfig -a show it unconfigured?  Check dmesg or /var/log/messages, there may be errors in there about setting up firmware or something.
[15:04] <erUSUL> oneliner*
[15:04] <KingWilliam> lastent, is any other multimedia app opn? (like totem, songbird, rhythmbox, ...)
[15:05] <Nikon> have a quick question.  trying to mount a cdrom in ubuntu server without succes
[15:05] <lastent> KingOfDos, yes I have rythmbox opened too
[15:05] <Nikon> mount /dev/cdrom returns me no medium found
[15:05] <oCean_> KenBW2: the files are randomly named?
[15:05] <KingOfDos> you've really got to learn howto tabcomplete :D
[15:06] <KenBW2> oCean_: it's a load of recovered deleted ones, so i think theyre numbered numerically - 13542536 for example
[15:06] <Subdolus> wassy121: like I just said, ifconfig doesn't show it at all, dmesg see's it with no errors
[15:06] <KingWilliam> lastent, I have the same problem. 2 media programs can for some reason not play at once...
[15:07] <KingWilliam> lastent, close firefox, close rhythmbox, start firefox again and it should work
[15:07] <wassy121> Subdolus: Then most probably it is seeing the physical device on the pci bus, but not assigning it a driver, and thus not instantiating the mii-interface.
[15:08] <oCean_> KenBW2: but it is'nt a logical sequence.. that would've made it easier, however this is 'scriptable' also.
[15:08] <josepcoves> Hi, i have problems with my webcam, it works under KDE apps but doesn't with Gnome. Could anyone help me please?
[15:08] <wassy121> Subdolus: means you may be using the wrong driver, or something.  Which wireless card?  Did you read the community docs about how to set it up?
[15:08] <KingWilliam> KingOfDos, I think lastent is talking to me but doesnt know he is adding the wrong name ;)
[15:08] <oCean_> KenBW2: but still, you're going to end up with various files in random directories?
[15:08] <Nikon> someone can help me with mounting my cdrom ?
[15:08] <KenBW2> oCean_: i think they are logical - just nautilus struggles to read all the files lol
[15:09] <lastent> KingWilliam, ha ha ha, sorry about the names
[15:09] <wassy121> Nikon: It should automount when you put it in (if you are running 8.10).  If the mount command says "no media" it means the cdrom is saying there is no readable media in the drive.
[15:09] <Subdolus> wassy121: yeah it's an atheros and worked fine before with standard madwifi-ng drivers; it's in an EEE
[15:09] <josepcoves> Please, could someone attend me?
[15:09] <Subdolus> (701)
[15:09] <lastent> KingWilliam, it didnt work
[15:09] <wassy121> Subdolus: atheros is now fully supported without madwifi or any other craziness.  It is just the 'ath' driver.
[15:10] <oCean_> KenBW2: well, something like this is worth a shot: "for FILE in dir/prefix{1..10}; do mv $FILE /path/to/newdir; done"
[15:10] <matteo_> hi all, trying to connect my tv to pc i turned of main screen from display configuration, now i can only acces with textual interface (the ctrl alt f1 one). Anyone knows how to solve this problem? thx alot is a bit URGENT
[15:11] <josepcoves> Hi, i have problems with my webcam, it works under KDE apps but doesn't with Gnome. Could anyone help me please?
[15:11] <Subdolus> wassy121: but it doesn't support injection, does it?
[15:11] <oCean_> KenBW2: where 1..10 is a loop and <prefix> has to reflect any prefix the file (name) might have
[15:11] <KingWilliam> lastent, Are you sure you closed firefox completely? (you might want to check with the system monitor) If this doesn't help I have no idea what is causing it,,,
[15:12] <wassy121> Subdolus: it supports "getting on the interwebs".  Good enough for me.
[15:12] <Subdolus> heh
[15:12] <gordonjcp> hello
[15:12] <gordonjcp> is there a sane way to remove all the superfluous fonts from an Ubuntu install?
[15:13] <gordonjcp> I can't see me ever needing things like arabic or sanskrit fonts
[15:13] <wam> wah - the dependencies of ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal suck.
[15:13] <josepcoves> Is someone available for me?
[15:13] <matteo_> hi all, trying to connect my tv to pc i turned of main screen from display configuration, now i can only acces with textual interface (the ctrl alt f1 one). Anyone knows how to solve this problem? thx alot is a bit URGENT
[15:14] <oCean_> !cam | josepcoves
[15:14] <KingWilliam> matteo_, if I were you, I would just reconfigure Xorg, but that is probably a dirty solution
[15:15] <jb-rite> erUSUL: Do you know how to find which hard drive/partition to use for each grub entry? I'm currently trying to use (hd0,2) which would be my first hard drive and second partition as far as I know :o
[15:15] <Lou_> Is there a way set xchat to automatically join several channels at startup?\
[15:16] <lastent> KingWilliam,  ok ill check again
[15:16] <lstarnes> Lou_: separate the channel names with commas, e.g. #one,#two,#three
[15:16] <biohazard> hola
[15:16] <KingWilliam> Lou_, go to XChat > Network List > choose a server and hit edit
[15:16] <SnakeArt> Hello! I would like to use my STIR4200 usb dongle with lirc. Is there any hack to do it? There was no information about my dongle at lirc site.
[15:17] <Juaco> i want to try enlightenment 17 on ubuntu, anyone knows if there are E17 ppas or other repos??
[15:17] <KingWilliam> Lou_, You can add channels to join when connecting the server there
[15:17] <KingOfDos> KingWilliam: true, but then they have to press "tab" again to complete other names that start with the K (or how far they typed the name already)
[15:17] <KingOfDos> just like i said, it's a wrong tabcompletion. but i'm used to that from others, so no big problem ;)
[15:17] <lastent> KingWilliam, yes I closed it all and it is not working
[15:17] <matteo_> hi all, trying to connect my tv to pc i turned of main screen from display configuration, now i can only acces with textual interface (the ctrl alt f1 one). Anyone knows how to solve this problem? thx alot is a bit URGENT
[15:18] <KingWilliam> lastent, then I can not help you
[15:18] <Lou_> lstarnes and KingWilliam, many thanks!
[15:18] <KingWilliam> Juaco, enlightenment is in the repos i believe
[15:19] <Juaco> just the 16 version...not that it is bad but i heard so many wonderful stuff but 17b
[15:20] <SnakeArt> Anyone knows how to use stir4200 usb dongle with lirc?
[15:20] <shakxtra-> hola alguien que me pueda ayudar?
[15:20] <lonel> hey any one here got openvpn configured with ubuntu in bridge mode?
[15:20] <lonel> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN
[15:20] <KingWilliam> Juaco, as it is not in the repos i suggest you follow this guide: http://technofreakatchennai.wordpress.com/2006/11/19/e17-on-ubuntu-a-brief-enlightenment/
[15:21] <Juaco> KingWilliam: thanx!
[15:22] <Kartagis> when i invoke pflogsumm, i get all 0 results. any ideas why?
[15:22] <Juaco> shakxtra: este canal es en ingles y no permiten consultas en espaniol, esta disponible #ubuntu-es
[15:22] <Siert> is it possible to use dynamic dns without using dhcp client?
[15:22] <SnakeArt> How to use stir4200 usb dongle with lirc?
[15:22] <erUSUL> jb-rite: well windows does not like to be on any partition but the first one of the first disk... so it would be (hd0,0)
[15:22] <shakxtra> #ubuntu-es
[15:23] <Juaco> that's right
[15:23] <erUSUL> jb-rite: (hb0,2) -> first drive 3th partition
[15:23] <wassy121> 3th?
[15:23] <erUSUL> wassy121: grub counts from 0
[15:24] <wassy121> 3rd ;-)
[15:24] <Siert> ah, nsupdate :) ... cu
[15:24] <matteo_> hi all, trying to connect my tv to pc i turned of main screen from display configuration, now i can only acces with textual interface (the ctrl alt f1 one). Anyone knows how to solve this problem? thx alot is a bit URGENT
[15:24] <smo_PenguinStyle> Hey there.  Does anyone know how to map windows key (super L) + E to open file explorer in ubuntu 8.10?
[15:24] <jb-rite> So, windows will always allocate hb0,0 for itself?
[15:24] <erUSUL> wassy121: oops... not native english speaker ... ;P
[15:24] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, gconf-editor
[15:25] <SnakeArt> Is there any hack to use stir4200 usb dongle with lirc?
[15:25] <smo_PenguinStyle> Easwar:  is there a tutorial/howto?  what edits do I need to make?
[15:25] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, >>apps>>metacity
[15:26] <smo_PenguinStyle> ??metacity
[15:26] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, >>keybinding_commands
[15:26] <wassy121> SnakeArt: I think you may be barking up the wrong tree here.  If the IR usb-module is loaded, then the rest is all lirc magic.  That is a program that most people don't use on a daily basis, but if you check for lirc-specific channels, they would be able to help.
[15:26] <DarkKnight> hey can anyone help me with this...when i restarted apache i got this message http://paste.ubuntu.com/107339/
[15:27] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, just follow the directions,easier that way
[15:27] <ugliefrog> can someone tell me how to change dir in the terminal... i must be doing something very wrong. i type in cd /(name of dir) and it says dont exist
[15:27] <wassy121> DarkKnight: that means that you don't have 'ServerName' specified in your httpd.conf, and it can't resolve your primary IP from /etc/hosts.
[15:27] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  so, do I simply go to the keyboard shortcuts section in preferences?  I've already tried that, and it seems that the gnome keyboard shortcuts don't support windows key (super L) + someletter combinations.
[15:27] <easwar> ugliefrog, you need the entire path
[15:27] <wassy121> DarkKnight: fix one or the other, and it should go away.  Just a warning anyway, things should still work.
[15:27] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, run gconf-editor in Alt+F2
[15:28] <DarkKnight> wassy121; so how do i specify the server name
[15:28] <Lenox> :ugliefrog - just tipe in cd "directory" without "
[15:28] <ugliefrog> i do type in pwd it shows me dir then i try to go there
[15:28] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  alt+f2 == cli / console?
[15:28] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, key combination in GUI
[15:28] <bebraw> does anyone know how to install .jars do that they appear to java namespace properly (ie. org.apache.something.something)?
[15:29] <sieken> i am fairly new to ubuntu and linux in general, so i was wondering if i could get some help with a question i have.
[15:29] <oCean_> ugliefrog: than use "cd dirname"
[15:29] <bebraw> *so that
[15:29] <wassy121> sieken: don't ask to ask.  Just ask.
[15:29] <KingWilliam> sieken, of course you can. Just fire away
[15:29] <Kartagis> does "delivered" mean "sent out" on pflogsumm reports?
[15:29] <ugliefrog> ok ill try again
[15:30] <sieken> i did some changes a while ago and now that i have rebooted, some settings are back to the way they were before
[15:30] <DarkKnight> wassy121; so how do i specify the server name
[15:30] <ugliefrog> ugliefrog@FrogHQ:~$ pwd
[15:30] <ugliefrog> /home/ugliefrog
[15:30] <ugliefrog> ugliefrog@FrogHQ:~$ ls
[15:30] <ugliefrog> CD1  Custom Icons and Graphics  ISO Programs  Pictures    ugliefrog
[15:30] <ugliefrog> CD2  Desktop                    mozilla2.ps   Public      Videos
[15:30] <FloodBot2> ugliefrog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:30] <ugliefrog> CD3  Documents                  Music         scrollback  winetricks
[15:30] <wassy121> DarkKnight: You edit your httpd configuration, and set it.
[15:30] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, what happened?
[15:31] <ugliefrog> sorry i didnt know bout the flod thing
[15:31] <DarkKnight> wassy121; i dont know where exactly the httpd is located...can you specify the command
[15:31] <wassy121> DarkKnight: Maybe apache isn't right for you.  If you don't know how to set it up, you could be opening up more problems.
[15:32] <jb-rite> Would my windows XP partition need a bootable flag to be used by grub?
[15:32] <KingWilliam> sieken, what kind of settings?
[15:32] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  just making sure that I don't screw things up, and its taking another moment.   brb.
[15:32] <oCean_> ugliefrog: you can use paste.ubuntu.com to paste any output. Share the url here.
[15:32] <KenBW2> jb-rite: not afaik
[15:32] <KingWilliam> sieken, do you use the liveCD or do you have ubuntu installed?
[15:32] <wassy121> jb-rite: nope, it should work with grub chain-loading over to it.
[15:32] <jb-rite> hrmm, this has me stumped
[15:32] <DarkKnight> wassy121; i have to work with php and also drupal...i am in learning stages...
[15:33] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  Where do I go in gconf editor
[15:33] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, press Alt+F2 on your desktop,type gconf-editor and press Enter,in the window that opens,follow />>apps>>metacity>>keybinding_commands>>edit command 1 to read nautilus
[15:33] <erUSUL> jb-rite: my connection failed... did you pasted the ouput i requesed ?
[15:33] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  now I understand.  I'm sorry that the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.  :)
[15:33] <sieken> i have installed, just yesterday actually. i took away the beep sound that you get from time to time, some effects in compiz
[15:33] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, lol,nevermind
[15:33] <jb-rite> erUSUL: I didn't, I must have missed the message.
[15:34] <sieken> so i was wondering if there was a way that i don't know of to make it permanent
[15:34] <KingWilliam> It is always permanent.
[15:34] <erUSUL> jb-rite: paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" on a pastebin
[15:34] <MOUD> Hey all
[15:34] <wassy121> sieken: maybe you fixed the beep sound by unloading the pcspkr module, and now upon reboot it came back?
[15:35] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  is it possible to create new commands for combinations like super L / windows key + R for run, and super L / windows key + E for opening nautilus?
[15:35] <sieken> i think that's just what i did.
[15:35] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, only new key combinations
[15:35] <sieken> can i do it in another way?
[15:35] <erUSUL> smo_PenguinStyle: System>Preferences>
[15:35] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, have you finished editing command 1 to read nautilus?
[15:35] <wassy121> sieken: if so, you can edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add a line for the pc speaker.
[15:36] <easwar> erUSUL, smo_PenguinStyle has already tried that
[15:36] <wassy121> mine is like: "blacklist snd_pcsp" , but I think it was called pcspkr in 8.04
[15:36] <macman> anyone watching the inaguration ?
[15:36] <MOUD> what's a good flash player for ubuntu?
[15:36] <Yud_Zroc> are there driver listings to be able to use my mic port
[15:36] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  does "new key combinations" equate to the ability to create superL+R, etc?
[15:36] <jb-rite> http://pastebin.com/m5b1d9591
[15:36] <easwar> smo_PenguinStyle, yes
[15:36] <wassy121> MOUD: flashplugin-nonfree is best I think.
[15:36] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD use the package manager and get the flash libraries
[15:36] <smo_PenguinStyle> easwar:  alrighty, let me try this.... momentito....
[15:37] <MOUD> should I install macromedia flash then?
[15:37] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD: no
[15:37] <wassy121> MOUD: don't install their tarball crap.
[15:37] <MOUD> ok then
[15:37] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD: use the add/remove programs
[15:37] <wassy121> MOUD: use the package manager to install ubuntu's version.  It is better packaged, and handles upgrades more smoothly.
[15:37] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD: or if ur comfy with it use the package manager
[15:37] <sieken> do i do that in terminal or? i'm not sure how to operate things atm
[15:38] <MOUD> I'll use the package manager
[15:38] <Lupine> Can an Ubuntu 8.10/iptables guru take a look at this issue for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1044885
[15:38] <MOUD> ops
[15:38] <erUSUL> jb-rite: the windows partition is (hd0,1) in grub
[15:38] <MOUD> the add/remove because flash is not not shown in the package manager
[15:39] <wassy121> sieken: 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' from the console, or if you have an "edit file as root" link in your applications, you can use that.
[15:39] <jb-rite> erUSUL: alrighty -- I'll give it another shot, thanks a lot for helping.
[15:39] <Yud_Zroc> Lupine: i had that problem once...
[15:40] <Lupine> MOUD, make sure "All available applications" is being shown
[15:40] <Yud_Zroc> Lupine: i had to use a different connection once...
[15:40] <CrYsIsX> Hello, I went to the installation screen , i pressed install, waited about 2 mins booting... then started getting: end_request I/O error, dev Sr1, sector 9180272 & under that [127 (it kept going 136 etc...), 824337] buffer I/O errir on devide Sr1, logical Block<PHONE_NUMBER>
[15:40] <Yud_Zroc> CrYsIsX: u could have a bad cd
[15:40] <Yud_Zroc> CrYsIsX: do a cd check
[15:40] <Lenox> I have just one question, everytime I run firefox to watch youtube videos firefox crash - I have Ubuntu 8.10 and the newest firefox and flash
[15:40] <CrYsIsX> probably
[15:40] <wassy121> CrYsIsX: that means "the cdrom can't read the CD".  Due to bad laser, bad disk, scratches, etc.
[15:40] <MOUD> yes it is.
[15:40] <jb-rite> it worked! -- thanks again erUSUL.
[15:40] <erUSUL> jb-rite: no problem
[15:40] <DarkKnight> wassy121; any idea??
[15:41] <CrYsIsX> ok thanks, ill get a new CD, it was a DvD RW
[15:41] <Lupine> Yud_Zroc, what do you mean by a different connection?
[15:41] <Lupine> or if it's too busy, and you just want to respond to that post...I'm fine with that too. thx!
[15:42]  * easwar is out
[15:42] <Yud_Zroc> Lupine: try letting ubuntu connect to it itself...or if ur like me and running 6 servers (dont ask) u have a lot of nics (ethernet cards)
[15:42] <rrohde> Lenox, I have the same issue. But not all the time. Strange. It doesn't crash, but freezes.
[15:42] <MOUD> Macromedia Flash plugin or flashblock extension for firefox?
[15:42] <Lenox> yes it freeze
[15:42] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD: i would get both
[15:42] <sieken> doesn't seem to work. or maybe i've done it wrong. i went into the system files and found my way to the blacklist. should write something there?
[15:42] <MOUD> Yud_Zroc: ok then :)
[15:42] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD: oh wait....not the flash block
[15:43] <Yud_Zroc> MOUD: i thought it was something else
[15:43] <MOUD> oh ok
[15:43] <Yud_Zroc> flash block has something to do with blocking unwanted flash adds or somethinglike that
[15:43] <MOUD> thanks Yud_Zroc , wassy121, and Lupine for the help :)
[15:43] <MOUD> ah, ok then
[15:43] <Yud_Zroc> np MOUD
[15:44] <Lupine> MOUD, np
[15:44] <Lenox> MOUD: i installed with synaptic the adobe-flashpluginn and the flashplugin-nonfree
[15:44] <Yud_Zroc> i had it blocking something i wanteed to see before
[15:44] <wassy121> sieken: yes, once you add that line like 'blacklist snd_pcsp' to the end/middle/beginning/whatever, it will "stick" upon reboot.
[15:44] <bo7amny> #linuxac
[15:44] <wassy121> sieken: Then just 'sudo modprobe -r snd_pcsp' and it will be active for this boot.
[15:44] <Yud_Zroc> also for those getting flash-nonfree....look up JRE in the package manager
[15:44] <bo7amny> sorry
[15:44] <Yud_Zroc> get 6
[15:45] <sieken> allright, thanks
[15:45] <Yud_Zroc> anyone good with drivers and getting teamspeak to work?
[15:46] <wassy121> teamspeak, lol 2006 ;-)
[15:46] <Yud_Zroc> ya i am having trouble with it on linux....well the cliant part
[15:46] <Yud_Zroc> no voice
[15:46] <Yud_Zroc> but i can hear
[15:47] <guestguestnew> what do you guys think are the best cities to work in IT?
[15:47] <Yud_Zroc> guestguestnew: depends
[15:47] <guestguestnew> Yud_Zroc: on what?
[15:48] <Yud_Zroc> guestguestnew: what your specializations are
[15:48] <kitche> !offtopic | guestguestnew
[15:48] <lieuwe> can anyone help me, i'm kinda new to ubuntu, getting wierd errors
[15:48] <troynt> If I install something from source, will aptitude detect that?
[15:48] <guestguestnew> Yud_Zroc: programming c++
[15:48] <troynt> e.g. i want to do future upgrades..
[15:48] <wassy121> troynt: no.
[15:48] <kitche> troynt: no
[15:48] <troynt> ;(
[15:48] <Yud_Zroc> lieuwe: what are your errors

[15:53] <cousteau> why does /bin/sh->dash instead of bash?
[15:53] <kitche> cousteau: because ubuntu decided to symlink sh to dash
[15:53] <matteo_> anyone knows how to connect my 37 inch fulkl hd tv with vga to ubuntu? I cant gent any signal
[15:53] <kitche> cousteau: easy to fix dpkg-reconfigure sh
[15:53] <cousteau> why? bash seems to be easier to use

[15:54] <DarkKnight> can anyone solve this problem i have pasted it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/107346/
[15:54] <kitche> cousteau: because sh in ubuntu eyes should not be used as a login shell
[15:54] <Pici> !dash | cousteau
[15:54] <kitche> cousteau: also has something to do with POSIX
[15:54] <oCean_> DarkKnight: the mysql thing?
[15:55] <cousteau> ok

[15:56] <cousteau> I'm noticing lots of commands that beahve differently on bash and dash
[15:56] <MOUD> restarting firefox
[15:56] <oCean_> DarkKnight: you have to setup a password for the 'root' user. And use the "-p" option in mysqladmin. Readup on how to use mysql

[15:57] <Jynks> hi guys back... just rebooted to get the exact erro text on the boot for you to look at if you have time
[15:57] <Jynks> http://rafb.net/p/xgcUKM83.html
[15:58] <Jynks> How do i get the password for the default keyring to enter automaticaly?
[15:58] <Jynks> or give network manager the ability to acess the default keyring?
[15:58] <Jynks> mt
[15:58] <cellofellow> use the login keyring
[15:58] <oCean_> DarkKnight: just saying it might be easier when you know the mysql (account) basics first. The question seems not ubuntu related anyway. This URL might be a good start: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/default-privileges.html
[15:58] <Jynks> cellofellow: how do i do that?
[15:59] <DarkKnight> oCean_; thanq i m checking it
[15:59] <DarkKnight> oCean_; and what about the apache thing that i had pasted
[16:00] <dbuiviet> hi all, can you guys show me where I can find tutorial for creating ubuntu package from source (.tar ball)? Thanks in advance :)
[16:00] <oCean_> DarkKnight: well, that's because apache cannot determine (as it says) what the fqdn of your machine is. So it uses the loopback ip address. Your servername can be specified in apache configuration, but it should also be resolvable (e.g. by editing /etc/hosts)
[16:01] <ox> has feisty been removed from all the repositories?
[16:02] <DarkKnight> oCean_ yes i see the server address right...still what could be the probelm
[16:02] <dbuiviet>  hi all, can you guys show me where I can find tutorial for creating ubuntu package from source (.tar ball)? Thanks in advance
[16:02] <oCean_> DarkKnight: see the 2nd part of what i said. It's the config (apache and/or hosts)
[16:03] <cousteau> [ `read -p "Run program? (y/n) " r; echo $r` = "y" ] && ./program → this works on bash but not on dash
[16:03] <DarkKnight> oCean_;i edited that file...the address is specified
[16:03] <ox> guess
[16:03] <ox> so
[16:04] <MOUD> Flash worked :)
[16:04] <MOUD> thanks
[16:04] <MOUD> I have another problem
[16:04] <DarkKnight> oCean_;in the file...the hosts addresses are specified which i have seen from the network manager

[16:05] <yakuz> can someone recomand a good backup application for ubuntu?
[16:05] <oCean_> DarkKnight: well, it might be a little more complex than that. For example you also might have to specify the ServerName in apache config.
[16:05] <oCean_> !backup | yakuz
[16:05] <DarkKnight> oCean; ahh...if you dont mind can you be more specific on how to do it...i am still a learner

[16:37] <Dr_willis> cdavis,  get       sudo apt-get install renameutils     and use  the 'qmv' command.
[16:37] <MOUD> [[thufir]]: try using video download helper addon for firefox
[16:37] <[[thufir]]> MOUD: thanks
[16:37] <MOUD> [[thufir]]: you're welcome
[16:38] <cousteau> cdavis: I think it's something like: rename "s/:/_/g"
[16:38] <[[thufir]]> MOUD: the site is flashvideotheater.com btw,
[16:38] <dinesh372> oCean: i installed it but i know how to play mp3 songs using terminal
[16:38] <Dr_willis> cdavis,  watch out for files with spaces in the names also.. that can mess things up
[16:38] <MOUD> [[thufir]]: I'll give a try
[16:38] <dinesh372> oCean:correct question is i installed it but i want to know how to play mp3 songs using terminal

[16:40] <samuel> is there a commandline symbol map?
[16:40] <[[thufir]]> MOUD: meaning you couldn't go there, or that the downloader didn't work?
[16:40] <MOUD> [[thufir]]: meaning that I can't access the website
[16:40] <poseidon> Where is sources.list located again?  /etc/*/sources.list
[16:40] <[[thufir]]> MOUD: ah.  well, I installed that add-on, so we'll see

[16:44] <dhalsimm> hi all, I get a sound problem. when music is playing I can't get sound from other applications. is it from alsa settings or what??
[16:44] <[[thufir]]> MOUD: or, should I say, it's downloading a file which is increasing in size :)
[16:44] <samuel> or if there is a better place to ask this question?
[16:44] <doglino> dinesh372 I'm just a new user too :D

[16:45] <dhalsimm> doglino: from the application?
[16:45] <tor_> Hi guys. I got this weird problem, ubuntu can't detect my monitorr.
[16:45] <doglino> System-> preferences-> sound
[16:45] <MOUD> [[thufir]]: denada. Maybe the website doesn't support resume so the file size is increasing when downloading because firefox doesn't know the actual size of the file. Try using on youtube and see the difference
[16:45] <doglino> ;)
[16:45] <linuxman410> tor what monitor model
[16:45] <dinesh372> linuxman410: i am already working on ubuntu but donot know which book or material to follow
[16:45] <tor_> SyncMaster 172
[16:46] <samuel> has anyone here seen the a-with-circumflex on there commandline, replacing some other letter?
[16:46] <tor_> linuxman410, SyncMaster 172T
[16:46] <doglino> dhalsimm System-> preferences-> sound
[16:46] <dinesh372> Mood:i surfed a lot on net but the number of material is so vast i am confused which to follow

[16:59] <b3nux> you know how you used to be able to use alt and mouse scroll to change the opacity of a window...well, i've now got 8.10 and i can't seem to do it anymore - any ideas why?
[16:59] <Cyber_Hades> i must put 2 word name folder in fstab... "Milan Micic" .. how can i define blank character in fstab ???
[16:59] <Arenlor> b3nux: check your compiz key bindings
[16:59] <b3nux> ok - will do, cheers

[17:00] <Arenlor> Cyber_Hades: Try escaping it
[17:00] <farf> whats the command to open the xorg.conf from prompt so i can edit it
[17:00] <fivemack> how do I troubleshoot LDAP client setup?
[17:00] <oCean_> Cyber_Hades: I think you have to use an octal code
[17:00] <Arenlor> farf: 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' should do
[17:00] <dougiel> farf, nano /ect/X11/xorg.conf
[17:01] <dougiel> I am running 8.04 and when I "sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart" I get  * Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf - any suggestions?

[17:01] <MOUD> anyone using ubuntu 8.10 amd64 with Firefox and java?
[17:02] <oCean_> Cyber_Hades: As i said, I think you have to use ocatal notation, let me see man ascii
[17:02] <funkyHat> I've just set a passphrase on my ssh rsa key, and then tried it out by connecting to one of my other hosts, but it didn't ask me for a passphrase... is it cacheing the key or something?
[17:02] <WaY> sometimes when I write on my xchat, amsn, etc text lines doesn't actualize properly and continues appearing twice last line written. What should I do?
[17:02] <Cyber_Hades> Ok.

[17:02] <Arenlor> Obama is now President of the United States of America
[17:02] <KingWilliam> Huray!!!
[17:02] <WaY> I have actualized my nvidia drivers and still happening
[17:02] <Linuturk> not yet, he hasn't been sworn in
[17:02] <oCean_> Cyber_Hades: so 040 is space in ocatal notation. /path/to/Milan\040\Micic may do the trick
[17:03] <Linuturk> I'm watching the live AP coverage
[17:03] <Cyber_Hades> /<IP_ADDRESS>/MilanMicic /media/Milan smbfs 0 0         IT'S NOT WORKING

[17:03] <oCean_> Cyber_Hades: type \040 where the space should come
[17:04] <Cyber_Hades> OK !!!!
[17:04] <Yud_Zroc> Cyber_Hades: thats an internal ip?
[17:04] <Cyber_Hades> LAN IP
[17:04] <dougiel> farf - you are running x now?
[17:04] <Arenlor> Linuturk: yes he is, it doesn't matter if he's sworn in, it's how the 20th amendment states.

[17:05] <farf> i was trying to edit my xorg.conf to change drivers from vesa to nvidia, but when i open it w/ that command its just a blank screen and says its a new file
[17:05] <oCean_> Everyone, pls stand :)
[17:05] <Cyber_Hades> oCean_ : Thanks ! It's working ;)
[17:05] <oCean_> Cyber_Hades: enjoy!
[17:06] <poncio> farf, you sure you typed "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"?
[17:06] <farf> yup
[17:06] <DIFH-iceroot> oCean_: for what?
[17:06] <MOUD> now that's great... from java.com website:   * Please use the 32-bit version for Java applet and Java Web Start support.
[17:07] <poncio> in that case i supose you have to first restore the xorg.conf file...
[17:07] <|neon|> why is it so hard to configure dual monitors using nvidia settings with intrepid randr, i do not want to configure two different size screens with twin view, i want to configure them as separate x screens but after a week i'm giving up any suggestions

[17:09] <MOUD> is it possible to install a .bin file?
[17:09] <slyuk>  wooli : how about apt-get uninstalling the package, the reinstalling from the .deb ??
[17:09] <petllama> MOUD, you gotta mount it
[17:10] <wooli> slyuk: there's not another way to do it?
[17:10] <wooli> will dpkg install dependencies?
[17:10] <samuel> how do you set the terminal to use utf-8?
[17:10] <oCean_> MOUD: or, if it's an executable (e.g. an install script) you have to chmod +x the file
[17:10] <MOUD> I think it's an executable file
[17:10] <farf> is there a way to edit the xorg file from within the desktop

[17:24] <dougiel> farf - lemme get you a link

[17:31] <efu> has anyone been able to use the WoW downloader/patcher in wine lately?

[17:31] <blip-> hi all,  i've got an ext3 partition i want to mount, so i've got the line "/dev/sda8 /media/share           ext3    noatime,nodiratime        0       2" in fstabber... my question is what are the 0 and 2 for at the end ?  are those correct or they need modding ?  thanks
[17:31] <blip-> 8.04 hard
[17:32] <oCean_> coventry: first make sure your disk(s) is/are not full (use "df -k command")
[17:32] <oCean_> !paste | blip-
[17:32] <blip-> oCean_: what do want me to paste ?   /etc/fstab ?
[17:32] <farf> says it cant open, i typed that into applications -> accessories -> terminal, do i need to type it somewhere else?
[17:33] <blip-> !!
[17:33] <oCean_> blip-: no, just don't paste here
[17:33] <coventry> oCean_: that's the other weird thing: "df" gives the following output for this disk:
[17:33] <coventry> Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
[17:33] <coventry> /dev/sda10           205493580 205277480         0 100% /
[17:33] <coventry>
[17:33] <coventry> It says that less than the full capacity of the disk is being used, but says there is zero space available.
[17:33] <dougiel> farf - can you get to a command prompt in console or terminal?
[17:33] <oCean_> coventry: do not paste here
[17:33] <coventry> Sorry.
[17:33] <oCean_> coventry: use paste.ubuntu.com for example
[17:33] <coventry> OK, thanks.
[17:34] <blip-> oCean_: don't paste what here ?  I never pasted anything.  i think you've got me confused with someone else
[17:34] <farf> in terminal im at username@username-desktop:-$
[17:34] <farf> and thats where i typed that command, came back with sh: Cant open filename
[17:34] <dougiel> farf, k do a 'ls' that is a dir equivalent
[17:34] <r3r3>  hello, anyone with a fast connection to help for a speed test? www.analog-data.ch/100mb.bin
[17:34] <r3r3> please
[17:34] <farf> k
[17:34] <dougiel> farf, do you see the run file?
[17:34] <tv7497> guys i have enabled the animation options in ccsm now ow do i animate my windows i couldnt find any key shortcuts there
[17:34] <oCean_> blip-: first number is an option to dump (backup) second number is option for filesystem-checking
[17:35] <oCean_> coventry: ok, your root disk is 100% full
[17:35] <farf> no, when i did ls it came back in blue letters desktop documents (teal letters) example music pictures public templates videos
[17:35] <farf> im assuming im in the examples dir since its teal?
[17:35] <blip-> oCean_: oh i see, for some reason my home dir has 0,2 while my root has 0,1... will 0,1 be fine do you think for my 3rd partition ?
[17:36] <dougiel> farf, username@username-desktop
[17:36] <tv7497> bazhang: hello sir little help
[17:36] <coventry> oCean_: But the thing is, it's not.  The actual usage numbers output by df don't add up to full capacity, I can write to the disk as root without getting a "no space left on device" message, and I have removed several large files.
[17:36] <farf> thats what the prompt says right before i can start typing
[17:36] <dougiel> farf, means you are in username on the computer username-desktop
[17:36] <blip-> oCean_: oh i found it in the manpage nvm.  i ave 2 put 2
[17:36] <blip-> thanks
[17:36] <farf> ahh k
[17:36] <Mimi> Hello, if you've got a MX1000 (Logitech MediaPlay) mouse, and all the buttons work, could I have your xorg.conf? Mine stoped working all of a sudden, and the stuff online didn't work
[17:36] <dougiel> farf, cd Desktop
[17:36] <oCean_> blip-: 2 would be fine.
[17:37] <MOUD_> I just did " sudo chmod +x jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin  " , what now?  No message appeared on the terminal but no error also
[17:37] <oCean_> coventry: the actual number might not be 100% accurate.
[17:37] <farf> dougiel, 'bash: cd: desktop: no such file or directory'
[17:37] <dougiel> farf, do you see your prompt changed and you are in the Desktop directory?
[17:37] <clee-saan> Hi, when i plug to my computer a mp3 player or usb key or mobile phone or whatever through usb, the device says it's connected, but the computer does not do anything. It used to work, with the very same devices a few days ago but not anymore. Help ?
[17:37] <dougiel> farf, capitalization counts in linux
[17:37] <dougiel> farf, Desktop
[17:37] <farf> ahhh lol that figures
[17:38] <farf> kk im in desktop dir now
[17:38] <coventry> oCean_: fine, but what about the other evidence?  Even root gets a "no space left on device" error when the disk is full, doesn't it?  Removing files should fix the problem, shouldn't it?
[17:38] <dougiel> farf, ls =?
[17:38] <farf> shows the file, run the same sh command now?
[17:38] <dougiel> farf, you see the run file now?
[17:38] <farf> ya
[17:39] <farf> tried the sh filename but it says cant open it again
[17:39] <dougiel> farf, ok do the sh command there... hit the up arrow key to scroll thru the commands you have typed in already
[17:39] <oCean_> coventry: well, root might have a little bit more slack there... for security reasons. I'd say it's cleanup time :)
[17:39] <farf> is the file name supposed to be case sensitive?
[17:39] <dougiel> farf, if you keep hitting the up arrow key you will find the sh command you already typed and hit enter and... yes case sensative
[17:39] <oCean_> farf: all of linux is case sensitive :)
[17:40] <nuaimat> guys, i am having the following error upon running `sudo apt-get update` , the error is W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Hash Sum mismatch
[17:40] <nuaimat> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.  please note i have already tried
[17:40] <nuaimat>  sudo apt-get purge anon-proxy but with no success !
[17:40] <farf> lol wow i feel like such a noob, it ran it that time
[17:40] <coventry> oCean_: according to df, I have 216M of space!
[17:40] <farf> however, once it starts running says it needs to be run as root, how do i change to root
[17:40] <oCean_> !paste | nuaimat
[17:40] <dougiel> farf, did it complain about x running?
[17:41] <MOUD_> I just did " sudo chmod +x jre-6u11-linux-i586.bin  " , what now?  No message appeared on the terminal but no error also, how can I install it?
[17:41] <farf> nope, it takes me to the installer but the installer needs to be ran as root
[17:41] <oCean_> coventry: available was 0%.. a few moments ago
[17:41] <dougiel> farf, ok same command preceeded by sudo...
[17:41] <funkyHat> I've just set a passphrase on my ssh rsa key, and then tried it out by connecting to one of my other hosts, but it didn't ask me for a passphrase... is it cacheing the key or something?
[17:41] <farf> so sudo sh filename?
[17:41] <coventry> oCean_: yes but that is discrepant with the actual usage numbers reported by df.
[17:41] <dougiel> farf "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09.pkg1.run"
[17:42] <nuaimat> guys, repository update problem, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/107393/
[17:42] <dougiel> farf, did it complain about x running?
[17:42] <|neon|> why is it so hard to configure dual monitors using nvidia settings with intrepid randr, i do not want to configure two different size screens with twin view, i want to configure them as separate x screens but after a week i'm giving up any suggestions
[17:42] <farf> yes
[17:42] <monokrome> Does anyone know how to change the domain name setting on my Ubuntu system?
[17:42] <farf> says please exit x before installing
[17:42] <farf> what exactly is x?
[17:42] <monokrome> I've know how to change hostname, but not domainname
[17:42] <nuaimat> monokrome: edit /etc/hostname
[17:42] <BCampbell> any recommendations for a WYSIWYG php/html editor?
[17:42] <dougiel> farf, k ... x = point and click environment
[17:43] <digitalj> Adobe Dreamweaver
[17:43] <farf> ahh k, so ctrl alt f1 and do the command?
[17:43] <monokrome> nuaimat: Doesn't that only change the hostname?..
[17:43] <BCampbell> sorry..meant FOSS html/php editor
[17:43] <monokrome> IE, can I put: flavor.monokro.me in it?
[17:43] <dougiel> farf, kill x then do that
[17:43] <troynt> BCampbell: Aptana, but it isn't wysiwyg
[17:43] <farf> just do ctrl alt f1? will that close it or just hide it?
[17:43] <dougiel> "killlall gdm" = shut down x?
[17:44] <nuaimat> monokrome: yes, i think so, but i am not sure of it
[17:44] <dougiel> farf, just hide it
[17:44] <dougiel> how do you killall x to install nvidia drivers?
[17:44] <BCampbell> thanks troynt...i'll look into it
[17:45] <BCampbell> to kill x:  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[17:48] <nuaimat> guys, if no one can help me (http://paste.ubuntu.com/107393/) please someone give me a hint what to google for ?
[17:48] <dougiel> farf, ?
[17:48] <farf> hen i get to the 173.14.09 part of the filename, it gives different characters and doesnt do anything
[17:48] <bazhang> nuaimat, your sources.list?
[17:48] <BCampbell> farf, gussing you need to update Nvidia drivers?  be very careful..tried to update to 180.22 ysterday..totally killed my system
[17:48] <nuaimat> bazhang: just a sec, ok
[17:48] <farf> or am i supposed to just stop and then start it again
[17:49] <farf> bcampbell trying to install them for the first time :/ been trying since 8 am today
[17:49] <a931bw> Nuai Just fresh install
[17:49] <a931bw> i'm tryed to do it it unable!
[17:49] <farf> ive read more friggin faqs and documents than i care to remember, but none of them come close to helping me install these stupid drivers
[17:49] <nuaimat> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/107396/
[17:49] <coventry> oCean_: you are correct that the filesystem gives more space to root.  ext2 and 3 reserve 5% for root by default.  Thanks for your help.
[17:49] <dougiel> farf, what are you doing?
[17:49] <lfaraone> Hi, is it possible to use a USB device as home with a livecd?
[17:50] <BCampbell> farf, the Administration -> Hardware Drivers applet should let you install with out killing X
[17:50] <farf> i stopped x, am i supposed to do the sh command here?
[17:50] <r3r3> hello, anyone with a fast connection to help for a speed test please? let me know how fast you get this and where you are located thx :)www.analog-data.ch/100mb.bin

[17:50] <farf> im on my other computer, the other desktop is the one w/ linux, this is my xp machine
[17:50] <bazhang> nuaimat, you are getting an error with the google repo?

[17:51] <dougiel> farf, ok - x is done do ....
[17:51] <keystr0k> When I hit the mute button on my keyboard, the graphical overlay comes up to show that the volume is muted, however, the sounds isn't actually muted.
[17:51] <dougiel> farf "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09.pkg1.run"
[17:51] <BCampbell> farf, run the sh script from the command line,
[17:51] <keystr0k> If I turn the volume all the way down the mute icon shows and the music is muted.
[17:51] <clee-saan> Hi, when i plug to my computer a mp3 player or usb key or mobile phone or whatever through usb, the device says it's connected, but the computer does not do anything. It used to work, with the very same devices a few days ago but not anymore. Help ?
[17:51] <mewshi> hey, I fixed it :D
[17:51] <keystr0k> Any ideas what's going wrong with the Mute button?
[17:52] <root> a
[17:52] <BCampbell> then when done sudo shutdown -r 0 this will reboot the machine and hopefully back into X with the new driver
[17:52] <root> name
[17:52] <nuaimat> bazhang: any idea whats wrong ?
[17:52] <bazhang> nuaimat, did you try to comment out the intrepid-updates repo? ie put a # in front of them, update and try again
[17:53] <Mimi> Ubuntu does not use xorg.conf for mouse configuration anymore, right? So, where can I go configure my mouse now?
[17:53] <farf> ok, so, i figured out why it wouldnt run that command before...i used the numpad on the keyboard and it wouldnt type the characters....but now i got the command typed in, but its just sitting there w/ the flashing _
[17:53] <nuaimat> bazhang: ok , i will try it now, but i will loose some updates !
[17:53] <bazhang> nuaimat, better yet
[17:53] <BCampbell> farf, it may take some time to run the script
[17:53] <bazhang> nuaimat, go to software sources and change to a different server
[17:53] <farf> should it give me any indication its doing anything?
[17:54] <dougiel> farf, how old/slow it that machine?
[17:54] <nuaimat> bazhang: i have tried that before , with no success too
[17:54] <farf> relatively old, single core but not horribly old, gig of ram etc
[17:54] <root> quit
[17:54] <BCampbell> farf, yes you should get an ugly looking screen with status messages
[17:54] <bazhang> nuaimat, that is odd; what are you trying to do when this occurs
[17:54] <nyaa> farf: I sent you a message
[17:54] <Rencx> hell, i want now how to write somthing on hdd from iso file?
[17:54] <nuaimat> bazhang: i think my ISP is using a caching server, that the checksum is outdated or the file is outdated

[17:54] <Rencx> hello, i want now how to write somthing on hdd from iso file?

[17:55] <nuaimat> bazhang: how can i force apt not to use cached versions on my ISP cache server ?
[17:55] <bazhang> Rencx, what do you mean from an iso
[17:55] <dougiel> farf, you hit enter after you typed in the command right - lol?
[17:55] <farf> i did sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
 i have iso image how i can istall it?
[17:55] <dakira> to clarify.. my goal is to copy all directories from dir A to dir B.. but only the directories
[17:55] <farf> lol ya i hit enter :p
[17:55] <farf> and it just sits there, i can type, but it didnt start to load anything
[17:56] <dougiel> type ls and hit enter

[17:56] <bazhang> Rencx, what iso
[17:56] <dougiel> farf, type ls and hit enter and tell me what happens
[17:56] <BCampbell> farf, hit enter again see if the prompt comes back
[17:56] <nuaimat> guys, how can i force APT to use a fresh copy of all repositories if i suspect that my ISP is using a caching server ???

[17:56] <Enissay> Hi, i'm using 2 conky's script, the 1st is executed by "conky&" command and i'm using a bash file to launch it 60s after system start so it can be correctly displayed by compiz(http://pastebin.com/d3c8b8058). For the 2nd i use this command "conky -c /usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyrc &;". I tried to create a similar script but it's not working probably because of the spaces in the command... How can i fix it please?
[17:56] <BCampbell> what prompt farf?
[17:56] <farf> should i have the actual prompt, as in username@username etc
[17:56] <BCampbell> yes
[17:56] <farf> its just a flashing _
[17:57] <farf> i dont have the username then
[17:57] <Jenk> bazhang, can u help me ?

[17:57] <nutzer> mein erster Kontakt
 you now what is iso?
[17:57] <bazhang> Jenk, ask the channel
[17:57] <gofg> Firefox can play audio, as can Ubuntu, but all other applications simply do not play audio (audacious, pidgin alert sounds, amarok, rhythmbox, vlc, etc). Amarok gives an error "xine cannot initialize any audio drivers", but that's the only error i get. Anyone help me out?
[17:57] <BCampbell> dougiel, maybe at a bit of a loss here
[17:57] <dougiel> same
[17:57] <bazhang> Rencx, certainly. iso of linux distro, movie  or other
[17:57] <Jenk> bazhang, allright
[17:57] <farf> should i restart x and try again?
[17:57] <nutzer> Hallo
[17:57] <dougiel> farf, no x
[17:57] <dougiel> farf, hit ctrl+c
[17:58] <BCampbell> farf, i woudl restart the machine, not just X
[17:58] <Jenk> could someone help me using aptoncd ??
[17:58] <farf> k, ive got a ^C after ctrl c
[17:58] <dougiel> BCampbell, he had not xorg.conf file either
[17:58] <dougiel> not = no
[17:58] <BCampbell> dougiel, looks that way
[17:58] <farf> i edited the xorg.conf file before though
[17:58] <farf> thats how i got into the desktop in the first place lol
[17:59] <farf> had to tell it to use vesa drivers so it would get past the running in low graphics mode
[17:59] <farf> so now that im past that and in the system i was trying to install the nvidia drivers
[17:59] <dougiel> farf, did you use control c to stop the sh command?
 ISO image is an archive file (a.k.a. disk image) of an optical disc. and i need write my program to pc
[18:00] <farf> i hit it and it gave me a ^C, so nothing was running
[18:00] <BCampbell> farf, when you first did the install this was from a live cd?
[18:00] <farf> ya
[18:00] <dougiel> so what does your prompt look like?
[18:00] <farf> nothing now, i restarted :p
[18:00] <BCampbell> did you test it in live mode or staright to install?
[18:00] <balzac_> hello
[18:00] <Pikiriman> #merida
[18:00] <dougiel> lol
[18:00] <farf> but it used to be just a flashing _
[18:00] <farf> i tested it
[18:00] <farf> and everything worked out fine
[18:01] <bazhang> Rencx, yes I am aware of that; the question you failed to answer was an iso file of what exactly
[18:01] <BCampbell> then I would do a reinstall and try again..unless there is data on the drive that can't be lost
[18:01] <adac> Is it possible to install ubuntu over vnc? If yes, what steps do I have to take?
[18:01] <dougiel> I think you borked your xorg.conf and now the nvidia installer is borked cuz there is now xorg.conf = just a guess
[18:02] <ZeroA4> Rencx, you heva never burned an iso ?
[18:02] <BCampbell> dougiel, I agree
[18:02] <farf> is there a way to open the xorg file from the desktop?
[18:02] <valued_customer> I'm trying a run an Ubuntu live CD, but I get an "out of range" error from the video monitor. Using "safe" video doesn't help. Are there any other options?
[18:02] <dougiel> farf there is a way to do evrey thing in linux
[18:03] <dougiel> farf, is that machine still running?
[18:03] <wassy121> dougiel: divide by zero?
[18:03] <farf> k, can i open the xorg file and see if its intact? or fix it somehow lol
[18:03] <ZeroA4> valued_customer, F6 on the boot screen give you some advanced options
[18:03] <farf> ya, its back into the desktop now
[18:03] <dougiel> wassy121, lol
[18:03] <dougiel> farf, use tab completion... like this
 no why burn i need mount it
[18:04] <dougiel> farf, nan(tab)(space)et(tab)X(tab)xorg(tab) do not hit enter and tell me what it says
[18:05] <bazhang> !iso | Rencx
[18:05] <ZeroA4> Rencx, what you use to mount ?
[18:05] <farf> erm, lol where do i do that at, and am i just typing nan and whatnot?
[18:05] <Deany> gmountiso is good
[18:05] <dougiel> farf, do that at a username@username-desktop prompt
[18:06] <dougiel> when you hit tab it should complete the partial data you were typing
[18:06] <emrah> slm
[18:06] <farf> k
[18:06] <farf> sec
[18:06] <dougiel> farf, you command should look like nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:06] <emrah> neyi
[18:07] <supabunny> Does anyone here know where i can get Atheros drivers that work? I can't seem to get madwifi to work =(
[18:07] <dougiel> farf, if it does not you need to reinstall
[18:07] <emrah> neyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[18:07] <farf> ok, so ya its got the command
[18:07] <farf> and it opens, but says its a new file
[18:07] <farf> so, format and reinstall?
[18:08] <BCampbell> farf, my vote is yes, reinstall
[18:08] <farf> blarg
[18:08] <farf> k
[18:08] <dougiel> farf, if you used the tab key it would not say new file
[18:08] <farf> should i redo the partition and everything or just reinstal?
[18:08] <emrah> do you speak turkish
[18:08] <bazhang> emrah, #ubuntu-tr
[18:08] <dougiel> farf, how many partitions are there?
[18:09] <farf> just 1 should be
[18:09] <BCampbell> farf, i prefer to wipe and reinstall, but it's your choice...
[18:09] <dougiel> farf, wipe and reinstall
[18:09] <BCampbell> call in the nukes??
[18:09] <farf> they've been on standby since 8 am

[18:11] <bazhang> clarks, that is not welcome here.
[18:11] <farf> damned nvidia :(
[18:11] <dougiel> farf, you should be able to select a option from grub to get x working out of the box... then it is just the one file from nvidia you need to run... it edit's xorg.conf automatically
[18:11] <vigo> Does a package exist that ill let me save passwords and hashes to a floppy?
[18:11] <farf> aww hell

[18:11] <vigo> *will
[18:12] <linuxman410> i had same problem with old geforce 4  440mx i took it out and bought ati 9200se and works perfect
[18:12] <BCampbell> farf, once you get a good install you should be able to install the Nvidia driver from the drivers app
[18:12] <dougiel> BCampbell, what are you using for a remote for myth?
[18:12] <farf> brb desperately need a smoke
