[03:16] <Rico> somehow it doesnt load my xorg
[03:16] <MasterMel> for some strange reason ubuntu recognizes i have plugged in my new video card but it doesnt give it signal.. anyone know whats wrong?
[03:16] <Pelo> Rico, check in the forum search for   ati resolution ,  something shoudl come up   www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:17] <xFlipx> fixed woot
[03:17] <GOfree> fixed woot
[03:17] <Pelo> tnnc, depends on how you start the script,   if you run it at boot it shoudl recognise the users permissions and not ask for the psword,  if you run the script manualy you will always need to give it the pswrd
[03:17] <Pelo> Rico, the ati driver doesn't use xorg
[03:17] <marx2k> how do you close a window in irssi?
[03:18] <troxor>  /wc
[03:18] <marx2k> thank you
[03:18] <Dr_willis> marx2k,  /window close - irssi homepage has good docs. :)
[03:18] <Dr_willis> I think..heh -- been a while.

[03:18] <tnnc> pelo i have the script in the /root dir and the line boots other lines but this one line seems to kep asking for it and just it suppose to run  on its own
[03:18] <Pelo> Rico, do the search in the forum and you'll find a thread telling you how to get extra resolutions in ati drivers
[03:18] <marx2k> :D
[03:19] <tnnc> pelo i mean the script boots other lines within the script
[03:19] <Pelo> tnnc, are you following a tutorial somewhere ?
[03:19] <GOfree> hi...
[03:19] <Pelo> tnnc, what is this script for anyway ?
[03:20] <Pelo> !hi | GOfree
[03:20] <ubotu> GOfree: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:20] <GOfree> Hi Pelo. Hi ubotu...
[03:20] <tnnc> pelo it is hamradio stuff to boot different lines to strat different programs to run
[03:20] <GOfree> just trying this out
[03:20] <xFlipx> Pelo, can I /msg you for a favor?
[03:20] <GOfree> first timer...

[03:21] <Pelo> tnnc, why not just use rc levels or the session dialog
[03:22] <c0Ld> I've got a 40gb partition unallocated and ready for Ubuntu, but I'm not sure how to do a manual install to it (what to set the mount points as, what sizes to make the swap, etc) -- anyone able to help me do it? 8.04 beta's installer won't just install it to the partition on its own without a manual install.
[03:22] <GOfree> Is this where I can ask technical questions about Ubuntu?
[03:22] <speeddemon8803> gofree, yes
[03:22] <tnnc> pelo sudo /usr/sbin/net2kiss -i ax0 /dev/ptys3 & and that one works the other doesnt
[03:22] <Pelo> tnnc, give me one that doesn't
[03:22] <GOfree> great!
[03:23] <tnnc> pelo sudo /usr/sbin/flexd
[03:23] <speeddemon8803> What can we help you with today gofree?
[03:23] <Pelo> c0Ld, no need for manual install , just go in the installre, user guide and pick  install to unallocated space
[03:23] <Pelo> tnnc, what is flexd?
[03:24] <Pelo> speeddemon8803, you sound liek a windows advert
[03:24] <tnnc> pelo is is an hamradio netrom proctrol to send data over ax25
[03:24] <GOfree> I might have to ask a silly question about broadcom 54g, ndiswrapper, and fwcutter...
[03:24] <Pelo> tnnc, how would you start if from the terminal ?
[03:25] <Pelo> tnnc, keep it mind we are almost over my head here
[03:25] <GOfree> but for now it is just good to be here...
[03:25] <GOfree> how are you all?
[03:25] <ej> what could be the cause of this apt-get update error? http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/8/i386/base/release.core  MD5Sum mismatch
[03:25] <tnnc> pelo i can start from term like sudo /usr/sbin/flexd and then it ask for password and if i give it goes
[03:25] <Pelo> GOfree, overworked underpaid , underappreciated,  , tired
[03:25] <xFlipx> Dr_willis, you there?
[03:25] <speeddemon8803> Doing great, if you have a question, dont be affraid to ask it, if we know the answer, we will be sure to help you out.
[03:26] <tnnc> pelo same as other from term but other also works from script
[03:26] <learner> i get this error when trying to follow root encryption http://rafb.net/p/Q1ZwKy35.html
[03:26] <Pelo> tnnc, try this ,  menu >ystem > prefs > session,   add it there, just put sudo flexd, that shold take care of it
[03:26] <tnnc> pelo so not sure why it doesnt  also work for that line
[03:26] <ej> what could be the cause of this apt-get update error? http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/8/i386/base/release.core  MD5Sum mismatch
[03:26] <tnnc> pelo ok will try thanks
[03:27] <GOfree> :(
[03:27] <level09> how do I search the files I opened with sudo nano command ?
[03:27] <Pelo> GOfree, you might be interested in #ubuntu-offtopic if you are more interested in chit chat at this point
[03:27] <xFlipx> level09, in vi it's / try that?
[03:27] <baudelaire> Quick question:  What is the official stance on Ubuntu Tweak?  Good software or install breaker?
[03:28] <Pelo> level09, you mean searching for text in the file ?
[03:28] <level09> yes
[03:28] <Pelo> level09,  look at the bottom of the terminal windows
[03:28] <soldats> ctrl+w
[03:28] <Pelo> crtl_w
[03:28] <level09> thanks guys
[03:28] <GOfree> thanks, pelo. I might try it. I will be back later, probably... Air Force One, Forever :/
[03:29] <xFlipx> lol I suck
[03:29]  * Pelo is not officialy freaked out by GOfree
[03:29] <xFlipx> I prefer vi to nano :(
[03:29] <Pelo> xFlipx, at what specificaly
[03:29] <xFlipx> Life.
[03:29] <Pelo> xFlipx, I,m a gedit user myself, don't feel to bad

[03:30] <GOfree> sorry...hey, I will see you later...bye
[03:30] <speeddemon8803> Pelo, gedit rocks :)
[03:30] <Pelo> speeddemon8803,  but da wld it no make snse anymore
[03:30] <troxor> baudelaire: it might be better to find out what ubuntu tweak does, and do the same thing manually
[03:31] <xFlipx> vi was there first! :(
[03:31] <xFlipx> lol
[03:31]  * Pelo is watching Jeeves & Wooster
[03:31] <baudelaire> troxor: interesting
[03:31] <troxor> baudelaire: just so you know what's going on :)
[03:31] <Gun_Smoke> Is there a way to have my CPU temp's in a panel?
[03:31] <poopcheese239> how do i defrag?
[03:31] <xFlipx> poopcheese239, don't need to
[03:32]  * Pelo isn'T much of a programmer,  hello world came out wrong and he got kicked out, apparently it's not suppose to spew out profanity
[03:32] <xFlipx> lol
[03:32] <poopcheese239> cool
[03:32] <poopcheese239> what about chkdsk?
[03:32] <Pelo> poopcheese239, you are not in wndows anymore you can relax
[03:32] <speeddemon8803> heh, pelo, sounds like me.
[03:32] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke, yes, you will need to install the sensors with synaptic before they will work
[03:32] <troxor> Gun_Smoke: something like sensors-applet ?
[03:33] <baudelaire> troxor: is Ubuntu Tweak as "deadly" to installs as Automatix was?
[03:33] <w33d5> anyone know if vmware can boot another partition outside ubuntu?
[03:33] <Pelo> poopcheese239, fsck will be preformed periodicaly every 30 mount , no need to worry
[03:33] <decay> whats a good known dock program?
[03:33] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin: I have lmsensors installed..
[03:33] <Gun_Smoke> troxor: thanks... I'll look into that program.
[03:33] <poopcheese239> thanks
[03:33] <troxor> baudelaire: I haven't actually tried it tbh, but hopefully nothing else is as destructive as automatix :)
[03:33] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone know anything about 8.04 beta? I upgraded from 7.10 and my alsamixer is gone?
[03:33] <Pelo> w33d5, yes it can ,  I boot my windows xp that way frmo ubuntu
[03:34] <speeddemon8803> pelo, i just found that out for the first time in 2 years like yesterday, it did it and i freaked out, i mean auto fsck
[03:34] <pokerfacepenguin> i had to run sensors-detect i believe before the applet would pick up the temps...let me see something real quick
[03:34] <troxor> decay: awn if you're willing to put in the effort
[03:34] <baudelaire> Sergeant_Pony, 8.04 ues PulseAudio as the inhouse mixer
[03:34] <w33d5> Pelo is XP another primary partition on your hd?
[03:34] <Pelo> speeddemon8803, 2 years without rebooting, ? i'm impressed
[03:34] <troxor> decay: but chances are, it won't be easy :)
[03:34] <Pelo> w33d5, yes
[03:34] <baudelaire> Sergeant_Pony:  any 8.04 questions should be directed to the #ubuntu+1 channel
[03:34] <Pelo> w33d5, hold on I'm looking for the guide to do it for you
[03:34] <Rico> hello again everyone!
[03:34] <Sergeant_Pony> baudelaire: so the only option is oss?
[03:34] <Sergeant_Pony> ok,
[03:35] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke, i have the sensors-applet installed as well as sensord and lm-sensors
[03:35]  * speeddemon8803 is impressed that ive impressed you....as thats hard to do :D
[03:35] <Rico> Pelo, I did wha tyou told me and tried different way to enable more resolution
[03:35] <w33d5> Pelo did you have to allocate space for it/
[03:35] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin: I just installed sensors-applet... Yet it doesn't seem to be available in the add to panel options.
[03:35] <Pelo> Rico,  and did it work ?
[03:36] <decay> troxor: thanks ill try
[03:36] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin: Never mind... I found it.
[03:36] <Rico> my problem is that in the "Settings->Display Settigns" I still only have the 640x480@73hz
[03:36] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke, its called hardware sensors monitor....you might wa.....ah ok
[03:36] <Pelo> w33d5, it was a windows that was already installed, I dual boot,  but I make vmware see it and boot it , I thought that was wthat you wanted,
[03:36] <Rico> it didnt worked
[03:36] <xFlipx> poopcheese239, if you want it to reboot and check right now
[03:36] <xFlipx>  type sudo shutdown -r -F now
[03:36] <xFlipx> in term
[03:37] <Rico> I used to be able to get at least 1024x768... now I cant go higher than 640x480! :(
[03:37] <poopcheese239> xflipx:thanks i will do that right now =)
[03:37] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin:  wow... 113 for one and 115 for the other.. I guess that could be considered "cool"

[03:37] <Pelo> w33d5,  let me se if I ge what you are thing to do ,  are you tring ot have vmware use your phisical disk to install window on but from vmware ?
[03:37] <J-_> is i686 the same as x86?
[03:38] <troxor> J-_: essentially
[03:38] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke, you talking about the cores?
[03:38] <J-_> troxor: Cool, thanks
[03:38] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin:  Yes.

[03:38] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke,  a little warm
[03:39] <iuri> hi there, how do i  see the computers are on my network on ubuntu?
[03:39] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin:  Ah, then we seem to be a bit on the same page.. Laptop here, so I imagine it would run a little hotter than a desktop.
[03:39] <w33d5> pelo yes vista is sda2 and ubuntu is sda3   i  am in ubuntu now and instead of allocating space and making a virtual drive i would like to boot vista
[03:39] <w33d5> inside vmwaare
[03:39] <masterloki> I need help trying to complie this sound card drivers
[03:39] <impulze> how can i force to reinstall a certain package?
[03:39] <Gun_Smoke> w33d5: I would recomend Virtualbox over VMware.. I've used both.
[03:39] <troxor> impulze: aptitude reinstall <package>
[03:40] <Pelo> w33d5, I don't know if you cna boot vista that way but you can do it with xp  try the guide anyway see if it works,
[03:40] <masterloki> I have been falling this guide
[03:40] <impulze> troxor: d'oh
[03:40] <masterloki> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715755
[03:40] <impulze> troxor: thank you :)
[03:40] <ty> what is a good virtual machine for ubuntu?
[03:40] <masterloki> and I am stuck on the cd part
[03:40] <troxor> impulze: np
[03:40] <w33d5> pelo thanks!
[03:40] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke, truth be told i probably need more fans in my box.....i have 4 500giggers in there with 2 case fans, a 700w power supply and a 120 extreme h/s fan stuck in the thing
[03:40] <troxor> ty: virtualbox
[03:40] <Gun_Smoke> w33d5: Oh and well I don't know if either are supporting Vista yet.. But I think I remember seeing Vista support as beta with VirtualBox
[03:41] <Pelo> w33d5, but one warning,   since you will be running on a vritual machine, windows will see this as beeing a major change of hardware , and it will not like it,   I had to crack my own xp to get it to work
[03:41] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin:  Liquid may be your friend.
[03:41] <masterloki> can somone tell me how to get it ti read in the termial
[03:41] <w33d5> Gun_Smoke vista is experimental
[03:41] <level09> when I use sudo apt-get install , where are these apps installed ? (file paths)
[03:41] <Rico> anything I can try?
[03:41] <Rico> *else
[03:41] <Gun_Smoke> w33d5: With VMware?  Or VirtualBox?
[03:41] <w33d5> i'm stuck b/c i'm running a dupe finder on ubuntu and
[03:41] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke, yeah, buts its such a headache...it usually doesnt run reaaaal hot
[03:41] <w33d5> vmware
[03:41] <w33d5> anyway i have a few hrs before its done (500GB) and
[03:42] <Gun_Smoke> w33d5: I had better luck with VirtualBox.. Looks and runs a lot better too imo
[03:42] <xFlipx> level09, depends on the app
[03:42] <w33d5> netflix hasnt adopted linux yet for their instant movies (watch over the internet)
[03:42] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin: I've seen some nice kits..
[03:42] <level09> I just installed phpmyadmin

[03:43] <xFlipx> /usr/etc or /etc
[03:43] <Gun_Smoke> w33d5: No problem.. And best of all with VirtualBox, I believe it's in the Repos.. I had to build VMware from source.
[03:43] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin: Was on newegg..... Hold on.
[03:43] <xFlipx> the binary files will be in /etc/bin usually
[03:43] <troxor> ej: the downloaded data didn't match the expected data, sort of
[03:43]  * CodeBlock pokes RockerMONO and says "What are you doing here!?" :P
[03:44] <level09> xFlipx: does it matter where I exeute the install command ?

[03:44] <w33d5> yes it is
[03:44] <Rico> thats fine
[03:44] <moregreen> E: I wasn't able to locate file for the firefox package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[03:44] <troxor> ej: there's probably a stale/unfinished/corrupt package sitting around
[03:44] <RockerMONO> CodeBlock, foobar
[03:44] <moregreen> whats that mean
[03:44] <sco50000> how?

[03:44] <iuri> putty is from windows to linux
[03:44] <Rico> Xorg seems fine, ATI-config doesnt work properly
[03:44] <CodeBlock> RockerMONO: no way :P
[03:44] <iuri> i need the way back
[03:45] <Pelo> w33d5, vmware-server is available form the repos , you ddin'T need to build it

[03:45] <w33d5> it kept locking up
[03:45] <iuri> no itis not

[03:46] <moregreen> hey uninstalling gnome-terminal isnt too bad , right?
[03:46] <Pelo> Rico, I'm not even an amature at ati drivers,  you'll have to search the forum , google, try the restricted drivers or just ask again about your problem periiodicaly hoping someone can help
[03:46] <sco50000> how?
[03:46] <iuri> CodeBlock
[03:46] <pokerfacepenguin> Gun_Smoke,  you use that one yourself?
[03:46] <xFlip1> was using the one I was on chat with remotely
[03:46] <prakriti> does anybody know where I can get md raid help?
[03:46] <xFlip1> and it's old
[03:46] <troxor> moregreen: not really
[03:46] <iuri> CodeBlock: no it is not possible it doesn't trace the windows machine
[03:46] <CodeBlock> iuri: you want to ssh to your linux box from winows..    install openssh-server on the linux box, and install putty on the windows box.
[03:46] <chalex> prakriti: ask
[03:47] <prakriti> I have
[03:47] <iuri> CodeBlock: from my ubuntu to windows
[03:47] <troxor> prakriti: yes
[03:47] <prakriti> all the disks in my array have been marked (S), but otherwise show good status
[03:47] <Rico> this is another problem
[03:47] <Rico> I tried the restricted drivers
[03:47] <pen> is there any way to speed up firefox with compiz?
[03:47] <CodeBlock> iuri: you can ssh TO windows........................*sighs*
[03:47] <prakriti> I don't know how they got marked (S), it happened after an upgrade.
[03:47] <robbiet480> Hey. I just installed windows and had a previous install of Feisty Fawn (7.10). When I was installing XP it had me create a "setup" partition. The install is now done and I wish to reclaim that space. It is the C: drive BUT no windows files or any files at all are on it. I know this is Ubuntu support but I was wondering if anyone would be nice enough to tell me if it is OK to remove the "setup" partition to get that space back....
[03:47] <sco50000> how?
[03:47] <Scunizi> pen, yea.. wait for Hardy to be released with FF3.0
[03:47] <prakriti> Is there an mdadm command I can do to get my raid back together?
[03:47] <Gun_Smoke> pokerfacepenguin:  No.. I was looking to build a box.. I decided to start with what I could afford for cooling before I started picking parts away.
[03:47] <CodeBlock> iuri: er   can't *
[03:47] <troxor> prakriti: where is the (S) displayed?
[03:48] <CodeBlock> sco50000: how what?
[03:48] <iuri> CodeBlocj: But i don't need SMB.  what do you mean?
[03:48] <Rico> it tells me "Your hardware does not need Restricted Drivers"
[03:48] <Scunizi> robbiet480, if nobody here knows you might /join ##windows and ask.

[03:49] <chalex> what about something like "mdadm --misc --detail"
[03:49] <Scunizi> robbiet480,  on a side note.. you can always delete it adn see what happens.. if you don't mind going through a 3.5 hour reinstall if it borks.
[03:49] <iuri> CodeBlock: it works only as client?
[03:49] <prakriti> mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active.
[03:49] <moregreen> Hey im trying to reinstall firefox... im getting this error:
[03:49] <CodeBlock> iuri: well... i suppose its possible, but uhh... use telnet for windows >.>
[03:49] <moregreen> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:49] <moregreen> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:49] <Dr_willis> iuri,   You could install cygwin, and the ssh service onwindows.. but what are you going to do once you ssh into the windows box?
[03:49] <RockerMONO> CodeBlock, N O telnet is horrible...
[03:49] <CodeBlock> iuri: also thats a windows question (##windows)
[03:49] <xFlipx> robbiet480: if you're installing windows over linux I'd say delete everything - including life.
[03:49] <iuri> sorry, i hate telnet :)
[03:50] <robbiet480> Scunizi: Oh yeah. I <3 Winblows. lol
[03:50] <CodeBlock> RockerMONO: better than running an sshd on windows
[03:50] <CodeBlock> >.>
[03:50] <georgy_28> prakriti, :http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/raid.html
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> moregreen; run the command it tells you to run.
[03:50] <robbiet480> xFlipx I know i know. I just need it for the odd app that doesnt run on Wine
[03:50] <RockerMONO> CodeBlock, not really, telnet has no useful password protection, considering ti's plain text
[03:50] <Scunizi> robbiet480, :) and that's with "almost" all the updates.
[03:50] <chalex> prakriti: what about something like "mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0"
[03:50] <RockerMONO> iuri, well you ask about the server in the os/distro the server uses, so in this case ask ##windows how to install a sshd and use normal ssh
[03:50] <iuri> CodeBlock: it is a ubuntu, since iam on my ubuntu in attempts to ssh into my windows :)
[03:50] <robbiet480> Scunizi: lol yeah
[03:50] <xFlipx> in all honesty - you can delete everything if you're installing windows
[03:51] <moregreen> bastid- oh yeah, forgot that one.. it gives me this error :
[03:51] <chalex> also, did you have some data on md0, or are you free to start over?
[03:51] <CodeBlock> iuri: you want help with setting up the ssh server, and that is a windows question.
[03:51] <moregreen> dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[03:51] <xFlipx> It takes over hard drives and is trying to take over the WORLD!
[03:51] <prakriti> chalex: same thing
[03:51] <prakriti> and yes
[03:51] <prakriti> I have a ton of data
[03:51] <CodeBlock> iuri: the only linux part would be.. open a terminal and type   ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:51] <prakriti> around 900gb
[03:51] <robbiet480> xFlipx: i already installed windows but it made me create a "setup" partition which I now want to delete to FREE ROOM FOR LINUX GOODNESS. lol
[03:51] <bastid_raZor> moregreen; are you using sudo?
[03:51] <moregreen> yes
[03:51] <moregreen> should i be using su?
[03:52] <Scunizi> sudo
[03:52] <bastid_raZor> moregreen; sudo should suffice.
[03:52] <ej> how do i correct a md5sum mismatch with apt-get update?
[03:52] <xFlipx> robbiet480:  if you did that then start over and install linux first on half of the hdd space
[03:52] <moregreen> yeah so what do i need to CHMOD?
[03:52] <xFlipx> then install windows on the other half
[03:52] <chalex> prakriti: there should be a way to look at the superblocks for each device
[03:52] <troxor> prakriti: does `mdadm --scan` do anything helpful ?
[03:52] <xFlipx> dual boot - sounds like you need to
[03:52] <robbiet480> xFlipx: two hard drives <3
[03:52] <prakriti> Here is the whole mdstat:  http://pastebin.com/m252dd84c
[03:52] <iuri> CodeBlock: thanks. i am glad you helped :)
[03:52] <prakriti> i've tried --assemble --scan
[03:53] <tyler-_> hey guys....I just set up wirless on my laptop, and it worked fine initially....but the connection dropped and now I can't seem to get it to connect it again
[03:53] <robbiet480> the winblows nerds say its OK to delete it
[03:53] <Scunizi> robbiet480, don't do what xFlipx said.. if you have to reinstall, windows first (cause it takes over) then ubuntu to clean up the drive.
[03:53] <Daniel3> I need help adding Mac OS X to Grub
[03:53] <Scunizi> robbiet480, you'll have less problems with grub
[03:53] <robbiet480> Yeah
[03:53] <moregreen> dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system ... anyone?
[03:53] <Pelo> Daniel3, try asking in #grub
[03:53] <robbiet480> I love grub
[03:53] <Daniel3> I have tried googling it but none of the ways have worked
[03:53] <chalex> prakriti: like "mdadm --query --detail /dev/sdg1" or something ; also, what kind of controller are these connected to?
[03:53] <Daniel3> no one is in #grub
[03:53] <prakriti> they are connected to a 3ware ide controller
[03:53] <Daniel3> People are in there
[03:53] <Daniel3> but
[03:53] <Pelo> Daniel3, they are there , they justdonT' talk much
[03:53] <Daniel3> No one answeres
[03:53] <Scunizi> !grub | Daniel3
[03:53] <ubotu> Daniel3: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:54] <Pelo> Daniel3, ask and be patient, then ask again
[03:54] <leo_rockw> !grub > leo_rockw
[03:54] <Daniel3> ok
[03:54] <xFlipx> Scunizi you're right
[03:54] <Daniel3> I have grub working
[03:54] <CVD-PR> USe Super Gurb Disk, the best
[03:54] <robbiet480> yeah xFlipx
[03:54] <iuri> CodeBlock: Although i have one more question
[03:54] <robbiet480> thought so
[03:54] <Pelo> Daniel3, I can give you a link to the grub manual but I don'T want you to think I 'm mean
[03:54] <robbiet480> but Winblows nerds say its OK to delete "setup" partition
[03:54] <CVD-PR> Why dont promote SuperGrubDIsk?
[03:54] <moregreen> does ubuntu come with any other browsers than konquerer and firefox?  konquerer is now not working
[03:54] <tyler-_> there's an entry for wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:54] <xFlipx> how big is it?
[03:54] <utarpradesh> hi does anyone have experience running STEAM thru WINE in ubuntu? i'm having trouble enabling directX 8.... i add the suffix to the execution command but it says "file not found" :(
[03:54] <Pelo> Daniel3, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Stage1-errors
[03:55] <Daniel3> You're not mean
[03:55] <iuri> CodeBlock: it's related to the past issue, what is the command on ubuntu to check what ips are on my network?
[03:55] <xFlipx> I mean if it's like 500m and you have two hdd's why mess with it?
[03:55] <troxor> moregreen: opera :)
[03:55] <Scunizi> moregreen, you can install elinks
[03:55] <chalex> prakriti: "mdadm --misc --examine /dev/sdg1" ?
[03:55] <robbiet480> xflipx: 12 gigs. i misjudged with gParted lol
[03:55] <xFlipx> wow
[03:55] <moregreen> well my aptitude isnt working... sooooo
[03:55] <prakriti> http://pastebin.com/m2b42f8d4
[03:55] <moregreen> im pretttty stuck
[03:55] <xFlipx> It contains all of your .cab files
[03:55] <robbiet480> xFlipx yeah i know
[03:55] <robbiet480> LOL
[03:56] <troxor> moregreen: aptitude is broken now also? :\
[03:56] <xFlipx> so if you want to install something that needs them you *can* use the windows cd for them
[03:56] <moregreen> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:56] <moregreen> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem., then i do that command it comes withdpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[03:56] <xFlipx> but the setup dir has those files
[03:56] <robbiet480> but xFlipx the Windows DIR isnt on that drive. its totally empty
[03:56] <deniz__> my wine is being mean to me
[03:56] <deniz__> like it wont uninstall stuff and i cant delete them myself either
[03:56] <utarpradesh> hi does anyone have experience running STEAM thru WINE in ubuntu? i'm having trouble enabling directX 8.... i add the suffix to the execution command but it says "file not found" :(
[03:56] <Scunizi> deniz__, quit wine-ing :)
[03:57] <xFlipx> If it were me I'd try it and cross my fingers
[03:57] <Scunizi> !steam | utarpradesh
[03:57] <chalex> prakriti: sorry, what does "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0" say?
[03:57] <ubotu> utarpradesh: Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[03:57] <deniz__> Scunizi, i cant...i need some windows apps and i prefer ubuntu
[03:57] <robbiet480> xFlipx thats what im doing
[03:57] <xFlipx> of course I have like 6 boxes here I uninstall and reinstall stuff on all the time
[03:57] <prakriti> mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 3 drives - not enough to start the array.
[03:57] <robbiet480> xFlipx: same here. i just decided this week to make this the ultimate box. vista, xp pro, ubuntu and leopard
[03:57] <Scunizi> deniz__, which apps? Have you considered Vmware server and in stall you licensed copy of winXX in it?
[03:57] <xFlipx> worst you lose is like 30 minutes of xp install time
[03:58] <chalex> maybe add --verbose?
[03:58] <siraj> can anyone help me my deskbar applet is not working
[03:58] <robbiet480> xFlipx: oh I would just LOVE to redo that install. those 800x600 graphics are SOOO much better then compiz-fusion
[03:58] <robbiet480> :D
[03:58] <Scunizi> xFlipx, 30 minutes?  Not the last time I did it..
[03:58] <xFlipx> I hate vista and ironically it's the only OS I've paid for
[03:58] <deniz__> Scunizi, wine worked for me, its just recently its not working and the version is not the problem, i went back to previous versions uncluding the one that worked for me
[03:58] <robbiet480> Scunizi: yeah it took about 30 for me. but i got a CD with SP2 on it already
[03:58] <xFlipx> bah compiz-fusion is awesome
[03:59] <robbiet480> hecks yes
[03:59] <deniz__> Scunizi, and uninstall doesnt work on all versions i tried
[03:59] <georgy_28> Daniel3, : have a look here : http://refit.sourceforge.net/. I use it on my mac
[03:59] <Scunizi> deniz__, which programs are you trying to run
[03:59] <deniz__> does linuxant have 64-bit modem drivers?
[03:59] <xFlipx> Scunizi: lots of variables, proc speed, mem, drive write time, etc..
[03:59] <chalex> prakriti:  what about --verbose?
[03:59] <prakriti> chalex: http://pastebin.com/m39274f2c
[03:59] <prakriti> added to the bottom
[03:59] <Scunizi> deniz__, you might head over to #wine-hq (I think) and ask there.
[04:00] <deniz__> Scunizi, there is no linux alternative for lets say pdf to jpeg converters that convert multiple stuff at once if ur trying to give me alternatives
[04:00] <robbiet480> !wine
[04:00] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[04:00] <robbiet480> !AppDB
[04:00] <ubotu> The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[04:00] <Daniel3> Thanks georgy_28. I am going to try that out
[04:00] <Scunizi> deniz__, let me look at a couple of things.. hang on.
[04:00] <deniz__> Scunizi, k
[04:00] <robbiet480> xFlipx: here goes nothing. cross your fingers!
[04:01] <leo_rockw> hello everyone
[04:01] <chalex> prakriti:  the "faulty removed" part looks bad
[04:01] <moregreen> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem., then i do that command it comes withdpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[04:01] <troxor> moregreen: is that with sudo ?
[04:01] <moregreen> thats what i get whenever i try and install anything thru apt-get or aptitude
[04:01] <moregreen> yes
[04:01] <b4l74z4r> when 8.04 is released, can i just upgrade the beta to the final version or do i have to install it all over again?
[04:01] <utarpradesh> install ovr again
[04:02] <leo_rockw> my friend had linux mint installed in one of his HD partitions, he formated the partition to install ubuntu and smth went wrong with the installation. he's getting error 15 in grub, what can he do to solve this?
[04:02] <troxor> moregreen: can you pastebin the output of `df -h` ?
[04:02] <hosified> .
[04:02] <moregreen> i dont have a browser
[04:02] <moregreen> konquerer and firefox are not working
[04:02] <b4l74z4r> i hope there won't be too many changes from beta to final release, that way i can just keep using the beta
[04:03] <chalex> prakriti:  how about "mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdh1 -a /dev/sdb1 -a /dev/sdc1"
[04:03] <robbiet480> LOL. everyone go look quick! #windows is having a flame war. lol
[04:03] <troxor> moregreen: wow, how'd this happen?
[04:04] <chalex> prakriti:  also, I hope you have backups :)
[04:04] <troxor> moregreen: what's inside the parenthesis on the line with " / " when you run `mount`
[04:04] <b4l74z4r> will there be a list that shows what have been changed/improved in the final release compared to the beta?
[04:05] <moregreen> rw,errors=remount-ro)
[04:05] <amenado> leo_rockw-> boot from a liveCD and repair it from there

[04:05] <leo_rockw> b4l74z4r: i believe the beta has a feature freeze, so everything should be the same, but not buggy
[04:05] <prakriti> -f
[04:05] <prakriti> :)
[04:05] <FloodBot1> prakriti: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:05] <utarpradesh> :
[04:05] <utarpradesh> :)
[04:05] <b4l74z4r> i see
[04:05] <utarpradesh> prakriti are you indian?
[04:05] <moregreen> troxor :  /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)                  ?
[04:05] <leo_rockw> amenado: i told him to boot from the live cd, but how does he fix menu.lst if menu.lst is not there?
[04:05] <chalex> prakriti:  so I looks like you just want to hotadd them back with mdadm
[04:06] <leo_rockw> amenado: right now the partition is empty
[04:06] <prakriti> utarpradesh: nope
[04:06] <amenado> leo_rockw-> can he join this channel?
[04:06] <troxor> moregreen: did you mention something about a dpkg lock file? what if you delete that, and run the `dpkg --configure -a` again?
[04:06] <Scunizi> deniz__, Here's one using Imagemagik http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbips/.. there were over 100 pages of pdf stuff on sourceforge..
[04:06] <level09> whats the default port for sftp ?
[04:06] <troxor> level09: 22, same as ssh
[04:06] <deniz__> Scunizi, i have imagemagick and its not gui and no1 wants to help me use it
[04:06] <chalex> prakriti:  but it would probably be worth to a) make backups b) figure out why they were marked as failed and c) run fsck to check for corruption
[04:06] <level09> thanks :)
[04:06] <leo_rockw> amenado: he just went online on jabber, so i'll tell him to
[04:07] <amenado> leo_rockw-> okay, let him join in here
[04:07] <utarpradesh> hi does anyone have experience running STEAM thru WINE in ubuntu? i'm having trouble enabling directX 8.... i add the suffix to the execution command but it says "file not found"
[04:07] <Scunizi> deniz__, I know it does a lot and not very intuitive. however the link looks like it has a commandline gui attached..
[04:08] <bastid_raZor> utarpradesh; try #winehq .. they'll have a better chance of helping out
[04:08] <leo_rockw> amenado: he's on the live cd, he says he's going to try to install ubuntu once again. i'll told him to join this channel if he still needs help. thank you.
[04:08] <utarpradesh> okay, thank you... i didn't know that existed :)
[04:08] <deniz__> Scunizi, its still loading (i have dial-up)
[04:08] <moregreen> (rw,errors=remount-ro) whats that mean?
[04:09] <Scunizi> ouch
[04:09] <amenado> leo_rockw-> okay
[04:09] <leo_rockw> utarpradesh: i believe there are many posts about that on the forums
[04:09] <deniz__> and can someone compile a 64-bit driver for me plz? ill host it for others so it wont be a wasted effort ;)
[04:09] <moregreen> could it be from me unmounting my external h/d wrong?
[04:09] <leo_rockw> moregreen: i'd say yes
[04:09] <troxor> moregreen: mount options, = read/write, remount readonly on error
[04:10] <troxor> moregreen: those are normal, for the / partition
[04:25] <chalex> BadServo: according to the tune2fs man page, you can do "sudo tune2fs /dev/sdb1 -m 0"

[04:25] <Pici> !netsplit
[04:25] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[04:25] <chalex> BadServo: to set the reserved block count to 0
[04:25] <Yowshi> troxor: tried that
[04:25] <chalex> BadServo: this shouldn't have any adverse effects
[04:25] <ghostnob>  I just install the LAMP 7.10 server edition, and when I ran the "hostname" - "hostname -f" but the result is different. hostname  = server1 | hostname -f = server1.domain.com. what can I do, please.... thanks
[04:25] <nikrud> chalex not a good idea, syslog is using that free space, for example
[04:25] <BadServo> there are no trash folders present on the effected mounts
[04:25] <BadServo> boabab
[04:25] <BadServo> mistell
[04:25] <chalex> nikrud: what do you mean?  also, this is not on the root partition
[04:25] <troxor> ghostnob: that's correct, the -f displays the fqdn
[04:26] <nikrud> chalex ah, good point about not root partition. the reserved space is to allow root daemons to run when users fill the disk.
[04:26] <amenado> ghostnob-> paste the contents of  /etc/hosts
[04:26] <Yowshi> stupid cdemu
[04:27] <chalex> BadServo: the idea of reserving some blocks for root is so that your system can continue to function when you run out of disk space, which isn't an issue for your non-system partitions

[04:27] <Yowshi>  vhba-module depends on build-essential; however:
[04:27] <Yowshi>   Package build-essential is not installed.
[04:27] <Yowshi> anyone know where i can get this build-essential
[04:27] <chalex> BadServo: so try "sudo tune2fs /dev/whatever -m 0" per 'man tune2fs'
[04:27] <bender183> that url is for an 8 monitor dvi/vga setup is it possible for ubuntu to support 8 virtual desktops?
[04:27] <nikrud> Yowshi sudo apt-get -f install  should pull in build-essential for you.
[04:28] <Pelo> Yowshi, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:28] <BadServo> bingo
[04:28] <BadServo> that seems to have helped

[04:29] <Dr_willis> bender183,  ive had window managers set up with 16+ desktops...
[04:29] <Dr_willis> bender183,  i imagine the limit is way up there.
[04:29] <bender183> hehe
[04:29] <bender183> ty sir

[04:29] <dapiz987> hello, i installed the 8.04 beta and am experiencing highly reduced audio quality, can anybody help me with this?
[04:29] <bender183> thats an impossible thing to google btw
[04:29] <nikrud> gamer's delight there
[04:29] <Dr_willis> Now how you effective USE that many.. is the question.. more then 4 seems to be overkill
[04:30] <bender183> well
[04:30] <chalex> dapiz987: can you describe the symptoms more?
[04:30] <msingh> hm is there a measuring tool to determine window/image size?
[04:30] <bender183> what vid card supported 16 virtual desktops?
[04:30] <Dr_willis> bender183,  its not a limit of the video card as far as i know.,
[04:30] <bender183> ahh
[04:31] <Dr_willis> bender183,  unless you are using the term 'virtual desktop' in a way i am not. :)
[04:31] <bender183> its just a software thing
[04:31] <Pelo> msingh, open the image in any image editor and check the properties
[04:31] <bender183> well
[04:31] <Yowshi> thanks nikrud
[04:31] <Dr_willis> theres been virtual desktops under linux since.. well ages ago. :)
[04:31] <bender183> not like an thin client server with different X sessions running remotley
[04:31] <deniz__> Scunizi, with gimp i can convert 1 by 1, and i dint get wat u meant by the rest of wat u said sry :(
[04:31] <dapiz987> chalex: when i listen to ANY music or system sounds, it is almost sounding like a low-bitrate audio file, it is hard to explain exactly what it sounds like but it never did this before

[04:31] <bender183> this is an 8 * 27 inch functional display
[04:31] <Dr_willis> dapiz987,  beta chat in #ubuntu+1   i would check the beta forums first also.
[04:32] <ghostnob> oops!
[04:32] <deniz__> Scunizi, but its skool notes that i need to put on psp for use at skool and there is soo many 1 by 1 hurts to do
[04:32] <msingh> Pelo, right
[04:32] <Scunizi> deniz__, someone here can probably script it.. shouldn't be too hard.
[04:32] <bender183> Dr_willis: ever seen the movie swordfish?
[04:32] <deniz__> Scunizi, i think troxor said sumtin bout scripting, i have no idea wat that means tho :S
[04:32] <chalex> dapiz987: are you sure it's a software issue?  e.g. does Knoppix or Feisty LiveCD do the same?
[04:32] <Dr_willis> make a script that does each command needed one after another, then run the script. :)
[04:32] <Dr_willis> bender183,  Nope
[04:32] <Pelo> bender183, you mean you want you dektop to stretchover  8 monitors ?
[04:32] <bender183> its like that kind of setup where the guy is working on 8 different monitorsat once
[04:32] <dapiz987> sounded great wit 7.10
[04:32] <chalex> dapiz987: yeah, ask in ubuntu+1
[04:32] <BadServo> chalax:  Odd, after adjusting the reserved space I have 6.8GB available.  I deleted 5.5GB from the partition with nautilus and cleared teh trash.  And nautilus is only reporting 12.1GB free
[04:33] <Scunizi> deniz__, scripting is just a list of command done in "Bash" at the terminal that carry out your orders automatically.
[04:33] <Dr_willis> a multi-monitor desktop is not the same as virtual desktops. :)
[04:33] <dapiz987> could it be to do with the new PulseAudio server? do you have any preference on which audio server is best before i go?
[04:33] <Dr_willis>  dapiz987  very likely its a pulse audio issue.
[04:33] <deniz__> Scunizi, wait so u mean its just a bunch of commands to do wat i want to do?
[04:33] <chalex> BadServo: perhaps one is reporting in GB the other in GiB?
[04:33] <bender183> no, like 8 different virtual machines one on each monitor
[04:33] <Dr_willis> deniz__,  you got it.. thats oneway to write such a script
[04:33] <bender183> or a display on each
[04:33] <Dr_willis> bender183,  that made no sence. :)
[04:33] <Joelito> anyone here ubuntu users uses kdevelop as IDE for programming?
[04:34] <bender183> ok...
[04:34] <CVD-PR> what is CoC?
[04:34] <chalex> BadServo: what does 'df' say?
[04:34] <Pici> !coc | CVD-PR
[04:34] <bender183> click the damn url
[04:34] <bender183> hehe
[04:34] <dapiz987> how do i switch over to another audio server? (i know that seems like a noob question)
[04:34] <ubotu> CVD-PR: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[04:34] <amenado> ghostnob-> what you pasted does not even match what you claimed earlier..
[04:34] <bender183> you will understand
[04:34] <bender183> because he is working on 8 different boxes
[04:34] <deniz__> troxor, wat was it u were saying b4?
[04:34] <troxor> !aolspeak
[04:34] <troxor> :P
[04:34] <ubotu> Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[04:34] <BadServo> sudo tune2fs /dev/sdb1 -m 0
[04:34] <bender183> but i am wondering if one box can support 8 different monitors
[04:34] <bender183> http://tinyurl.com/35cvq2
[04:34] <BadServo> /dev/sdb1              290G   277G    13G  96% /media/DATA
[04:35] <Pelo> bender183, if it has enough videocards outlets for them yues
[04:35] <troxor> deniz__: `gs -sOutputFile blah%d.jpg ` might work
[04:35] <bender183> killer.
[04:35] <Pelo> !dualhead > bender183
[04:35] <Scunizi> deniz__, yea.. sort of.. you'd do a command to list all the pdf's then pass that list to a command to "convert" them one by one automatically.. BUT what I don't know is how to get "convert" to output the same file name as the file that is being converted.. numbering of pages is automatic.
[04:35] <bender183> ty sir
[04:35] <BadServo> strange....  nautilus bust be doing some weird estimations.
[04:35] <Catfood> Can anybody suggest the appropriate channel to ask about gnome menu behavior settings?
[04:35] <BadServo> because the size of the files I killed and space available were both read from nautilus
[04:36] <Pelo> Catfood, here , depending on what,
[04:36] <chalex> BadServo: I mean 'df' not 'df -h', then maybe do the multiplication to convert to GB and GiB
[04:36] <deniz__> troxor, i cd to directory first? do i have to modify the command in any way?
[04:36] <troxor> deniz__: most likely, yes
[04:36] <Catfood> They delay when you click on a menu item is killing me, if I turn off all effects it is fine, but I want some effects but not the delay
[04:36] <deniz__> Scunizi, i had previously made imagemagick work a bit b4
[04:37] <Pelo> Catfood, that might just be that your video card is not strong enough
[04:37] <ubuntu> hi there, can someone help me to boot my pc? i get an error that says : NTLDR is missing. i have 2 disks one with xp and one with ubuntu and still cant solve it:(
[04:37] <chalex> Catfood: http://www.google.com/search?q=gnome+menu+delay doesn't help?
[04:37] <dapiz987> ok, thank you guys for your help, im off to #ubuntu+1, later everyone
[04:37] <Pelo> Catfood, ask in #compiz to see what effects you might turn off that are too demanding
[04:38] <BadServo> chalex:  seems to add up
[04:38] <BadServo> close enough for myself anyway.
[04:38] <deniz__> Scunizi, i do first cd ~/Desktop/ then convert    -format jpg  *.pdf
[04:38] <BadServo> Can't thank you enough for the kindly assistance... this has been bugging me for days.  Thought some new Hardy module was corrupting me.
[04:38] <Catfood> 8800 I think it is an effect setting somewhere  but will try the suggestions, thanks
[04:38] <deniz__> Scunizi, that use to work and wen it did, it made a blurry jpg and only the first page
[04:39] <chalex> BadServo: np
[04:39] <Scunizi> deniz__, no.. what I did was "convert <filename.pdf> <filename.jpg> and it worked like a champ
[04:39] <deniz__> Scunizi, that converts all pages?
[04:40] <Scunizi> deniz__, yes in just one PDF
[04:41] <deniz__> Scunizi, do i need to keep the <>?
[04:41] <Scunizi> deniz__, no
[04:43] <deniz__> Scunizi, it works but i want better res, thats kinda too blurry for me to study with
[04:44] <Scunizi> deniz__, there's probably a switch to increase res.  the other option someone mentioned is to use gs (ghost script) to do the conversion. I don't know how to do that.
[04:45] <nixbox> i want to create a grid with 16 nodes, i want a software in which i can draw the grid and be able to export the x,y coordinates. Can you guys suggest one?
[04:45] <deniz__> Scunizi, i need it at 150 DPI, i think its -i 150 DPI or sumtin i saw b4 but i dont no, were did u find the previous information?
[04:45] <graphx> K3d
[04:45] <White_Magic_> Does Anyone Know how Miro Gets the videos id like to either add another site to the search site list or add a channel to this site
[04:45] <White_Magic_> could anyone help?
[04:46] <Scunizi> deniz__, I just tried it.. :)  but I'm now looking at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php
[04:46] <deniz__> Scunizi, i assume u failed?
[04:46] <Scunizi> deniz__, I just haven't found anything yet..
[04:46] <Pelo> nixbox, considering it's just a 3x3 grid you are talking about wouldn't it be simpler to just type out the coordinates by hand ?
[04:49] <wvmac_> quit
[04:49] <Bob_Sagot> hmm
[04:49] <deniz__> Scunizi, im also searching and thx u stuck with me more than many others in all my history of irc-ing!
[04:50] <Bob_Sagot> u never figured out how to re-mount my HDD
[04:50] <Bob_Sagot> i never*
[04:50] <din> mount /dev/device /mount/point ?
[04:50] <Pelo> Bob_Sagot, sudo mount -a
[04:50] <Scunizi> deniz__, I like imagemagick AND I have many multipage pdf's.. but I was thinking .. why not convert them to multipage tif's.?  Why individual pages.?
[04:51] <deniz__> Scunizi, bcuz its more convenient for studying on a psp
[04:51] <din> i've set up a 500GB drive with encryption via dm-crypt and LVM this afternoon. :)
[04:51] <deniz__> Scunizi, i no a psp is for games but i havent played games since last year begining of the grade
[04:51] <regeya> smithwicks is the nectar of the gods, and if any gnome-go devs are here, thank you very much for trying to duplicate quicksilver, the shortcut app of the gods
[04:51] <Scunizi> deniz__, Ah Ha!..
[04:51]  * Dr_willis imagines the eyestrain at reading text on a psp. :0
[04:51] <Dr_willis> convert them to html! :)
[04:52] <regeya> gnome-do
[04:52] <Bob_Sagot> this is killing me
[04:52] <Bob_Sagot> i have tried that
[04:52] <Bob_Sagot> it doesnt even see the HDD
[04:52] <deniz__> Dr_willis, its actually much easier than u think, u zoom to the maximum it can while filling the screen sideways
[04:52] <DasWu> cryptsetup luksOpen point
[04:52] <din> DasWu: yesh. :)
[04:52] <DasWu> an than mount point
[04:52] <Pelo> regeya, devs don't hang out in this channel, we're not worthy
[04:53] <din> DasWu: it's really rather easy on the cpu too.
[04:53] <Dr_willis> The Devs dont want to be asked how to do  the basic stuff thats docmented all over the place. :)
[04:53] <Pelo> Bob_Sagot, just use sudo mount -a , it will reload your fstab
[04:53] <regeya> good thing I wasn't still drinking smithwicks.  wasting it by spitting it on my kbd woudl be bad
[04:53] <gkffjcs> is there an application that will allow me to input the output from my speakers into a file directly?
[04:53] <Bob_Sagot> tried it
[04:53] <Bob_Sagot> ill try again
[04:54] <Pelo> Bob_Sagot, remember that linux is case sensitive and that you donT' mount hdd you mout partitions ,  so /dev/sda1 , not /dev/sda ,  and you absolutely need a mountpoint
[04:54] <Bob_Sagot> i think I am going to grab my fedora book
[04:55] <Dr_willis> It pays to read somne tutorials on how linux mounts drives Bob_Sagot  :) reading a book is a good idea.
[04:55] <Bob_Sagot> but usually when i boot linux before i did a quick hardware swap, it was readying just fine
[04:55] <Pelo> Bob_Sagot, what the dev and the mount point of the and what fs ?
[04:55] <Dr_willis> Bob_Sagot,  its not a hard concept. but it has a lot of  little things to watch out for
[04:55] <regeya> gkffjcs: look on the ubuntu wiki for jack.  alternatively, some soundcards (my sb live 5.1 will do it) can use the speaker out as input (though I disremember how rightnow0
[04:55] <Dr_willis> great now you guys have my firefox crashing!
[04:55] <Dr_willis> :P
[04:55] <din> Bob_Sagot: it sounds like you have the wrong device name, or your comp is not seeing your device.
[04:55]  * Pelo points an laughs at Dr_willis
[04:56] <Bob_Sagot> I am not sure, what pisses me off is windows sees the drive fine
[04:56] <SAIDias> howdy
[04:56] <SAIDias> what is the copy command to copy a file to multiple directories?  example: cp example into all the directories in /home/test/
[04:56] <Dr_willis> Bob_Sagot,  check with 'sudo fdisk -l' if the device is 'seen' by the computer it will show up there..   if fdisk dosent even see the device.. well thers deeper issues
[04:56] <regeya> jackd allows for some really awesome stuff, including audio routing, gkffjcs...thank god for tab competion coz your nick is to jacked up
[04:56] <regeya> ever considered a nick with vowels?
[04:56] <Dr_willis> SAIDias,  you would proberly have to do a little script, or mess with xargs a bit for that.
[04:56] <Bob_Sagot> it sees the 2nd drive
[04:57] <led> ok i was just wondering which chat app wasnt just another im for yahoo but would allow me to hit a room with in the yahoo chat directory
[04:57] <Pelo> g'night folks , Dr_willis  hope the firefox works out , nikrud , IndyGunFreak , g'night guys
[04:57] <nikrud> Pelo see you later
[04:57] <student> How can I get the second line exactly from a STDOUT?
[04:58] <Scunizi> deniz__, unfortunatly I gotta go.. sorry I couldn't help more. I did find a page of processing switches but I can't identify wich one to use except maybe -sharpen..  Good luck.
[04:58] <student> How can I get the second line exactly from a STDOUT? <solved!>
[04:58] <student> Using tail and head
[04:58] <Bob_Sagot> din, are you getting my messages?
[04:58] <Dr_willis> student,  check the man pages for tail and head. they can snip out a range of lines also wth the + options
[04:58] <din> Bob_Sagot: no.
[04:58] <Bob_Sagot> it wont let me PM you
[04:58] <eric> http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/add
[04:58] <din> Bob_Sagot: is it /dev/sda ?
[04:58] <Bob_Sagot> no

[04:59] <student> Dr_willis, Thanks but i already know how to use it, just had forgot =p
[04:59] <dexstar> how do i get write permission to the /usr folder?
[04:59] <Bob_Sagot> sdb1 to be precise
[04:59] <din> Bob_Sagot: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/point
[04:59] <student> tten
[04:59] <CVD-PR> where is the copy text in xchat?
[04:59] <din> make sure /mnt/point exists.
[04:59] <CVD-PR> right-click
[04:59] <Dr_willis> student,  you dont need to use head and tail i found out. but the man page for  the range feature.. is a little.. oddly written. :)
[04:59] <eric> destar under root user
[04:59] <din> then make the appropriate changes in /etc/fstab
[04:59] <deniz__> Scunizi, it says it needs an argument
[05:00] <deniz__> Scunizi, deniz@deniz-desktop:~/Desktop$ convert j5.pdf -sharpen .jpg
[05:00] <eric> dexstar under root user
[05:00] <led> xchat copy i just highlight what i want to copy
[05:00] <Bob_Sagot> din, can i temporarly talk to you on a messenger?
[05:01] <deniz__> CVD-PR, to copy text u only need to highlight it
[05:01] <Scunizi> deniz__, I just tried convert -antialiase j5.pdf j5.jpg.. you can use the same syntax with sharpen.
[05:01] <din> Bob_Sagot: just register here, and you can pm me.
[05:01] <CVD-PR> damn it . thanks
[05:01] <CVD-PR> deniz__,
[05:01] <deniz__> Scunizi, i tried with sharpen dint work, ill try with antialiase
[05:02] <deniz__> Scunizi, convert: unrecognized option `-antialiase'.
[05:02] <IzMbit> hi there, is there a way to fix the NTLDR from ubuntu live cd?
[05:02] <din> IzMbit: yes. install ubuntu.
[05:02] <din> :)
[05:02] <dexstar> thx eric :)
[05:02] <eric> dexstar np
[05:02] <IzMbit> well i have 2 disks one with xp and one with ubuntu
[05:03] <Scunizi> deniz__, sorry misspelling.. -antialias
[05:03] <din> IzMbit: mount your windows drive and copy NTLDR to the appropriate place.
[05:03] <regeya> mispelling ftl
[05:03] <Scunizi> deniz__, see ya.. good luck
[05:03] <IzMbit> din can u helpme doing this? i new in linux :(
[05:03] <mindrape> Anybody know when KDE 4 is going to be available or have a repo for it?
[05:03] <gawwdotnet> Hi guys. Anyone here bought an Intel 775 socket motherboard with a well supported audio chipset?
[05:04] <deniz__> Scunizi, still dint work :(
[05:04] <deniz__> Scunizi, at least u got me closer

[05:04] <CVD-PR> Miren esta bien
[05:05] <decay> weird problem. i have a hard drive mounted. i can browse through it, drag files in and out of it. but when i try to browse it through a dialog window, the files inside dont show
[05:05] <decay> any ideas?
[05:06] <regeya> decay, just a wild guess but um.  wait.  you
[05:06] <decay> regeya: i hope not
[05:07] <regeya> you wouldn't happen to have hidden files showing in your file manager decay would you
[05:07] <regeya> as in .hidden_file
[05:07] <decay> nope
[05:07] <Flannel> decay: This is mounted automatically via gnome? or not?
[05:07] <regeya> now that's darn peculiar
[05:07] <decay> Flannel: yes
[05:07] <IzMbit> any ideas how to mount my win drive and copy ntldr to correct place?
[05:07] <decay> regeya: when i click view hidden files, nothing shows either
[05:07] <Flannel> decay: Right, those dont show up in the filesystem proper
[05:07] <decay> Flannel: so how would i fix this?
[05:07] <regeya> oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh
[05:07] <Flannel> decay: Mount it via mount
[05:08] <Pici> gawwdotnet: Are you asking a harware question, or an Ubuntu question?
[05:08]  * regeya realizes 1.) he's a lightweight to the xtreme and 2.) he has no idea whats going on
[05:08] <GNUix> I have a laptop with a broadcom wireless card (requires firmware cutter) so I purchased a belkin pcmcia card (model F5D7010) which according to the docs is supported with the rt2500 driver but it isn't picking up.. what else can I do?
[05:08] <Flannel> regeya: We all start somewhere, don't worry.
[05:09] <jengelh> GNUix: use a broadcom driver, not a RalinkTech one?
[05:09] <jengelh> but if the manual says so.. ok
[05:10] <GNUix> jengelh: I would prefer not to use the firmware cutter as I have bad experinces with it, thats why I purchased the belkin (which is supposed to be supported)
[05:10] <IndyGunFreak> GNUix: is it a usb or what?
[05:10] <GNUix> its a pcmcia card
[05:10] <decay> Flannel: can't i do that by clicking the folder in the /media/ dir and selecting 'mount' ?
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:11] <din> IzMbit: run fdisk -l to see what type filesystem is on your disk. when you find the one that's windows,(probably ntfs) run "sudo mount /said/device /mnt"
[05:11] <Flannel> decay: uh, I'm not really all that experienced with the GUI, so... maybe?
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> GNUix: hmm, weird.
[05:11] <decay> Flannel: ok i went to /media/ and tried opening the folder, it says i dont have permission
[05:11] <din> IzMbit: then copy your ntldr from the i386 directory (from the winblows cd) to that filesystem
[05:11] <happis> hey
[05:12] <regeya> Flannel I was referring to my terrible alcohol tolerance and I thought that gnome, when a drive was mountable, just mounted it...unlike kde, where you may or may not be using an ioslave
[05:12] <Flannel> decay: right click the icon on the desktop, then unmount it, then make a folder in /media, and mount it there.
[05:12] <GNUix> IndyGunFreak: I guess it could be the card is broke.. but if I remove the card dmesg shows the card removed and then if I reinsert is hows it as reinserting but no other info is givin
[05:12]  * regeya forgets about virtual filesystems in gnome for a mo
[05:12] <happis> how to get windows Sata drive work?
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> GNUix: that would seem pretty unlikely then
[05:12] <happis> how to get windows Sata drive mount*
[05:13] <GNUix> IndyGunFreak: and then of course dmesg tells me to go get the firmware from linuxwireless.org for the broadcom card.. suck..  Mount it as you would an ide drive.

[05:15] <din> CVD-PR: netstat, lsof, snort, tcpdump...
[05:15] <Dr_willis> happis,  you dont mount a filesystem thats not formated. since its not a filesystem yet. :)
[05:15] <din> shall I keep going? :)
[05:15] <CVD-PR> but something that is already in ubuntu
[05:15] <happis> Dr_willis: it works at windows
[05:15] <Frederick> folks isnt the package for skype avaliable?
[05:16] <Dr_willis> happis,  then it IS formated for windows...
[05:16] <din> CVD-PR: sudo apt-get install bwm-ng
[05:16] <din> then run it.
[05:16] <happis> Yes
[05:16] <Dr_willis> happis,  if its a ntfs windows filesystem, you can use the ntfs-3g stuff to read/write to it.
[05:16] <happis> how
[05:16] <fizzbane> If I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and updated it all is it a good idea for me to install and run Automatix?
[05:16] <Dr_willis> !ntfs-3g | happis
[05:16] <ubotu> happis: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

[05:16] <mindrape> Anybody know when KDE 4 is going to be available or have a repo for it?
[05:17] <Flannel> !kde4 | mindrape
[05:17] <ubotu> mindrape: KDE 4.0.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.3 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.3.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.3.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[05:17] <DariusTheoNoir> correct me if I am wrong, but there's a front-end for the ntfs-3g
[05:17] <Dr_willis> happis,  an example fstab entry for MY ntfs drive is -->  UUID=96240BAE240B9103 /media/vistaboot ntfs    defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[05:17] <DariusTheoNoir> but...one has to specify the driver in fstab under type

[05:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bwm-ng - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:17] <Dr_willis> DariusTheoNoir,  you also have to have the ntfs disks defined befor ntfs-3g will change the settings. :)
[05:18] <fizzbane> If I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and updated it all is it a good idea for me to install and run Automatix?
[05:18] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  its a better idea to forget you ever HEARD about automatix at all.
[05:18] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:18] <arooni-mobile> hey folks!  upon startup, during fsck ... i see these errors:  /dev/hdb2 clean, 153981/2442855 files, etc.... fscck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID-29....' fsck.ext3 Unable to resolve 'UUID=aajdj....';  File System check failed;  A log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/checkfs if that location is writable.  Please repair the file system manually.  A maintenance shell will now be started.......... what should i do?
[05:19] <GNUix> where should I stick the firmware created by fwcutter?
[05:19] <fizzbane> Dr_willis : thanks for lettin me know.
[05:19] <sunbird> hi everyone! favorite backup package with gui?
[05:19] <DariusTheoNoir> Dr_willis, mine works great--never had problems with it, except for an occasional "unsafe removal" from windows
[05:20] <DariusTheoNoir> but...RULE: never mount your win system partition...ever...use a third FAT partition for transport between systems
[05:20] <jengelh> I concur.
[05:20] <DariusTheoNoir> correction, never write....
[05:20] <GNUix> found it /lib/firmware .. and its working.. first time.. I'm amazed.. perhaps today will be a good day :)
[05:20] <DariusTheoNoir> you can mount ro
[05:20] <jengelh> Not.
[05:20] <jengelh> use a proper ntfs driver.
[05:21] <DariusTheoNoir> but I write to my external seagate all the time rw
[05:21] <Dr_willis> DariusTheoNoir,  ntfs-3g has been clamed to be stable.. but then again.. ntfs is made by MS.. could you call ntfs stable..
[05:21] <DariusTheoNoir> no... :)
[05:21] <Mr_Sonoma> anyone know of a good wiki for setting up printer sharing between ubuntu and vista?
[05:21] <Dr_willis> Ive had more issues with windows trashing my NTFS disks, then i have with linux trashing them
[05:21] <Dr_willis> !cups

[05:25] <fizzbane> I want to set up a twinview moniter layout with nvidia. How do i go about doing so?
[05:25] <c0Ld> Does anyone know if xmms2 is able to stream from shoutcast? I've installed the plugin in apt but it's still just giving me 26 seconds of playback then it stops. I know xmms (classic) will stream from there out of the box flawlessly :/
[05:25] <smehmood> hey all, im shopping around for a new laptop, and am looking at the Dell XPS M1330, one of the ones they sell with ubuntu. I see this page reports all kinds of issues (volume too low, etc.) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellXPSM1330
[05:25] <smehmood> does that mean the ones Dell sells with ubuntu preinstalled suffers from all those bugs too?
[05:25] <Chamunks> I love ubuntu to death but who do i see about making my nautillus and firefox windows remember the size i left them at before i re opened them
[05:25] <Chamunks> before hardy is at full version
[05:25] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  i normaly install the nvidia drivers,   run sudo nvidia-settings --twinview, restart X, then tweak the setup with sudo nvidia-xconfig
[05:26] <c0Ld> Does anyone know if xmms2 is able to stream from shoutcast? I've installed the plugin in apt but it's still just giving me 26 seconds of playback then it stops. I know xmms (classic) will stream from there out of the box flawlessly :/
[05:26] <Frederick> folks is there any tutorial tomakle webcams work on ubuntu?
[05:27] <MethodOne> /msg nickserv identify 144228
[05:27] <sunbird> a bit of a silly question, but how do i get a mounted crypted external usb drive to show up on the desktop?
[05:27] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  i may have that backwards.. :)   run sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview, then sudo nvidia-settings
[05:27] <fizzbane> Dr_willis: i was gunna say gave me a unrecognized option
[05:28] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  its weird.. the X gui command has NO X in the command.. while the text based tool.. has a X in the name. :)
[05:28] <Cpudan80> Does Rythmbox autoconvert WMA --> MP3?
[05:28] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  nvidia-xconfig -A   to see all the options
[05:28] <fizzbane> Dr_willis: so restart X with alt+crlt+backspace?
[05:28] <DariusTheoNoir> sunbird, remove the encryption?  (I don't know...just seems far-fetched to expect encrypted devices to automount)
[05:29] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  thats one way
[05:29] <sunbird> DriusTheoNoir: nah! i just created a symbolic link. that'll work for me. :)
[05:29] <fizzbane> Dr_willis: is that a good way to do so?
[05:29] <Dr_willis> fizzbane, you DID backup your original xorg.conf  ? i hope.
[05:29] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:29] <fizzbane> i did not.
[05:29] <Dr_willis> fizzbane,  or logout and use 'restart x server'  in the menus
[05:30] <Dr_willis> it may of autobacked up the thing. :)

[05:31] <Dr_willis> yep. i gotta run an errand.. be back in about an hr.
[05:31] <DariusTheoNoir> well...portability of encryption...kinda makes encryption easier to deal with--and easy just doesn't cut it for security.  Just ask the Do?
[05:31] <CVD-PR> any tool so i can copy/backup a folder to another drive with a click of a button?
[05:31] <jengelh> both "folder" and "drive" is microsoft terminology :/

[05:51] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:51] <Dr_willis> Now the windows zoom feature, and the taskbar previews.. are handy...
[05:51] <Dr_willis> and the ADHD effect. also usefull

[05:54] <nightmike> mm but mine just have 2 themes :P
[05:54] <Dr_willis> oops i left out IQ. :)
[05:54] <decay> Flannel: what did you say the problem was? gnome mounting on startup?
[05:55] <Flannel> decay: the problem is when gnome automounts stuff, it doesn't go into the filesystem, yeah.
[05:55] <Dr_willis> nightmike,  you can enable the feature where it can auto-download more themes
[05:55] <decay> Flannel: how do i stop gnome from doing that?
[05:55] <decay> Dr_willis: where?
[05:55] <smehmood> does anyone here have an n-series Dell?

[06:13] <forrest> does anyone know if work is being done of a hardy version for ubuntu?
[06:13] <arooni-mobile> fixed!  power cables weren't hooked up!
[06:13] <arooni-mobile> thats why it went down
[06:13] <barbguar> IndyGunFreak: how do I find out what graphics device it is?
[06:13] <izinucs> forrest, what do you mean?
[06:14] <IndyGunFreak> barbguar: open a terminla, and run "lspci" no quotes, it will be in there.
[06:15] <forrest> izinucs, there is no repository option or .deb option for ubuntu 8 (hardy)
[06:15] <ZMR> barbguar, lspci | grep VGA should do the trick
[06:15] <marllinho> alguem aqui usa um programa chamado cairo dock
[06:16] <barbguar> IndyGunFreak: it's an Intel one
[06:16] <marllinho> preciso de uma ajuda
[06:16] <izinucs> forrest, there  is and it is included in the hardy release.. if you are trying to use a hardy repo in a different version of ubuntu you may create an unstable system  .. for more hardy info /join #ubuntu+1
[06:16] <forrest> well I went with the gutsy install, seemed to work, got to logout though, brb
[06:16] <IndyGunFreak> barbguar: there's a lot of intel chipsets
[06:16] <forrest> oh there is?
[06:16] <c0Ld> Does anyone know if xmms2 is able to stream from shoutcast? I've installed the plugin in apt but it's still just giving me 26 seconds of playback then it stops. I know xmms (classic) will stream from there out of the box flawlessly :/
[06:16] <forrest> opps
[06:16] <forrest> lol
[06:16] <IndyGunFreak> !res | barbguar try this

[06:17] <smehmood> does docking work well in Ubuntu?
[06:18] <alienseer23> why would a 10G ata hdd  read as a 30G in ubuntu during install? (causing grub errors after install) and how do I remedy this?
[06:18] <smehmood> has anyone gotten docking working in Ubuntu?
[06:19] <Cpudan80> smehmood: Docking like laptop docking?
[06:19] <Xerxes> Is ubuntu java compatible?  I'm a stock trader and would love to use a more secure system but I'm not sure if the software is compatible.
[06:19] <smehmood> Cpudan80: yep
[06:19] <Thib_> hmm
[06:19] <Cpudan80> smehmood: I have a T42 and I havent gotten it to work
[06:19] <smehmood> Xerxes: yes, it can run Java.
[06:19] <Thib_> so I grabbed a bunch of kernel packages from Gutsy
[06:19] <Cpudan80> smehmood: The problem I have is that I have to reset X for my external monitor to resync
[06:19] <IndyGunFreak> Xerxes: easiest thing to do, is fire up a live CD, install java, and see if it works.
[06:19] <Cpudan80> everything else works ok though
[06:19] <smehmood> Cpudan80: does the docking work cold?
[06:19] <Thib_> and installing them succeeds but complains that it can't find /lib/firmware/<kernelversion>
[06:20] <xtknight> anyone noticed that programs that use gstreamer have a slight gain added to mp3s that makes them sound a little overamplified
[06:20] <izinucs> Xerxes, since nyse is converting to linux I would hope so
[06:20] <ZMR> Xerxes, java is cross plataform, this is one thing, another is if your apps work....
[06:20] <Thib_> it has a directory for the kernel version of Hardy, of course.
[06:20] <prohna> okay i think i got my ipod classic working with amarok
[06:20] <fizzbane_> My ubuntu seems to like to freeze alot on me...In a situation like that what should i do?
[06:20] <Thib_> what package installs stuff into /lib/firmware?
[06:20] <smehmood> Cpudan80: if you dock it before you boot, does the display work?
[06:20] <Cpudan80> smehmood: yes
[06:21] <Cpudan80> smehmood: Its a T42 (from 2005)
[06:21] <arooni_> whats the best audio program that is capable of a small form factor (like winamp)........ but can all of my drives for music and keep it up to date?
[06:21] <Xerxes> Hmm, I guess I'll have to call up my brokerage and find out if the program can run under ubuntu.
[06:21] <prohna> but the thing is when i check to see where its mounted its like its mounted in dif spot each time i plug it in ie: first time it was in /media/ipod, second time it was in /media/ipod_, and so on with another _ each time.
[06:21] <Xerxes> I'd love to get rid of XP, it was great in 2002, but... crap now.
[06:21] <IndyGunFreak> arooni: audacious?
[06:21] <happyface_0> Xerxes, vista is better?
[06:21] <izinucs> Xerxes, what's the program
[06:21] <smehmood> Cpudan80: okay, btw, this link might help you with hot-docking if you haven't already seen it, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/18864
[06:21] <Xerxes> happyface, oh hell no. :)
[06:22] <Lleumas> alright
[06:22] <bushblows> DSR2000: hello
[06:22] <ZMR> Xerxes, if the apps are written entirely in java, this should not be a big deal
[06:22] <arooni_> IndyGunFreak, cool ui, but how can i search for music files on my ssytem
[06:22] <IndyGunFreak> arooni: hmmm..
[06:22] <ZMR> Xerxes, but you know, Murhpy`s law :)
[06:22] <Xerxes> It's called "Trader Workstation" with Interactivebrokers.coim
[06:22] <Xerxes> .com
[06:23] <alienseer23> I am trying to insall onto a 10G fireball3 ata hard drive, but the ubuntu installer sees it as a 30G hdd, rendering i totally un-bootable, help?
[06:23] <smehmood> Xerxes: honestly, I would just go ahead and try to install it.  I would guess I need to boot using a CD and modify /etc/group or shadow - but it isn't something I know anything about. Any tips?
[06:24] <Xerxes> smehmood, I'll give it a shot.  Probably not too immediately.  Next week maybe.
[06:25] <ZMR> Xerxes, good luck!
[06:25] <tocmo0nlord> when trying to run alienarena2008 the /crx i get this error ./crx: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:26] <izinucs> tocmo0nlord, get the deb from www.getdeb.net
[06:26] <tocmo0nlord> what deb ?
[06:27] <izinucs> tocmo0nlord, a deb is an installable package on ubuntu
[06:27] <nikrud> morris is morris your user name on the machine?
[06:27] <morris> Yep.
[06:28] <nikrud> morris do  grep morris /etc/passwd,  and   grep morris /etc/groups  please, let me see those
[06:28] <izinucs> tocmo0nlord, sorry just looked and they have 2007.
[06:28] <Thib_> aww.
[06:28] <Thib_> well
[06:28] <nikrud> morris erm, that's /etc/group that is
[06:28] <Thib_> that didn't help
[06:29] <morris> nikrud: morris:x:1000:1000:Morris,,,:/home/morris:/bin/bash
[06:29] <Thib_> which is odd
[06:29] <Thib_> well
[06:29] <nikrud> morris and   groups
[06:29] <coo> hai?
[06:29] <morris> nikrud - 1 mo
[06:29] <Thib_> not really, considering I don't know much about the kernel
[06:30] <nikrud> morris erm, that's a 3rd one,   groups  shows all the groups you're a member of ;)
[06:30] <morris> nikrud:
[06:30] <morris> morris:x:1000:
[06:30] <morris> vboxusers:x:127:morris
[06:30] <Xerxes> zmr, thanks. :)
[06:30] <|raziel|> so I have a very odd question and I figured this would be about the the best place for a quick answer
[06:31] <morris> Yep - I know what I did - and I know that editing the groups file manually will probably fix it, but I have only been using Linux for a week...
[06:31] <nikrud> morris ok, you got a problem, you're not in the admin group.    reboot into recovery mode, and run adduser morris admin . That gives back sudo
[06:31] <nikrud> morris or if you have root , run it there
[06:31] <RyanPrior> If I play Counter Strike: Source via Wine, does it use my graphics card?
[06:32] <morris> nikrud: thanks - I didn't think of using recovery mode!
[06:32] <nikrud> morris and you'll need to add back some other groups as well. I'm not in gutsy at the moment so I can't give you the list, but some kind soul here should be able to give you the output of   groups
[06:33] <morris> I will just use whatever groups are in the admin mode.
[06:33] <morris> I just need to remember not to use -g option  with adduser :)
[06:33] <nikrud> morris there's several, such as plugdev and audio and some others you need to be a member of.
[06:33] <nikrud> hehe
[06:33] <morris> nikrud: thanks heaps.
[06:34] <morris> OK - bye bye!
[06:34] <nikrud> RyanPrior of course it uses your graphics card, how else would you see it?
[06:35] <|raziel|> is there a way to install ubuntu from the iso without burning it to a disk (i'm currently running debian)
[06:35] <RyanPrior> nikrud: Perhaps it would use software rendering. I heard somewhere that wine can't access your graphics card or something, but I don't know much about it.
[06:35] <RyanPrior> Not just using the graphics card, but utilizing it for 3D rendering.
[06:36] <nikrud> RyanPrior I don't use wine but I do know it will not use directX properly, and many games can use the  -gl option on the command line to play in opengl, which your card does support
[06:36] <RyanPrior> It can't translate from directx to opengl?
[06:36] <nikrud> RyanPrior or -opengl , or some version of that switch depending on the game. #winehq can point you to the right settings

[06:38] <cristi1990> what package do i have to install so i can extract .rar ?
[06:38] <kindofabuzz> rar
[06:38] <cristi1990> from sinaptic?
[06:38] <Starnestommy> cristi1990: unrar
[06:38] <izinucs> unrar?
[06:38] <Starnestommy> cristi1990: from synaptic or with apg-get
[06:38] <Starnestommy> er, apt-get
[06:39] <cristi1990> thank you :)
[06:41] <cristi1990> yep worked. but i have a bigger problem. after i installed ubuntu, grub doesn't see my windows anymore. i can see the 2 windows partitions though while i am in ubuntu. what can i do to boot windows again?
[06:42] <izinucs> !grub | cristi1990
[06:42] <ubotu> cristi1990: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:42] <cristi1990> izinucs: i reinstalle grub too if that is about
[06:43] <izinucs> cristi1990, yes.. reinstalling gub usually will put windows back into the grub list
[06:43] <cristi1990> izinucs: i reinstalled* it and still doesn't work
[06:44] <izinucs> cristi1990, are you sure you wrote it to the right spot.? if you have multiple drives sometimes  it makes it on the wrong  one.
[06:45] <pajamian> cristi1990: you probably just need to edit menu.lst, you can fidn the info you need in the links you just got from ubotu.
[06:46] <suxxor> i have problem when i type different mode for fopen() it show the next error message "Warning: fopen(/home/kaloqn/Desktop/textfile.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /opt/lampp/htdocs/upload2.php on line 2"
[06:46] <Acomaco> I just installed Netpbm..
[06:47] <Acomaco> but i can't find it anywhere :S
[06:47] <Acomaco> i used apt-get install
[06:47] <|raziel|> thank you ubotu
[06:47] <cristi1990> pajamian: uhm i tried to edit menu.lst, but there wasn't any windows option, tried to add it by following some intruction but it said error 21 i think
[06:48] <cristi1990> izinucs: i don't know... i have 2 hdd's and i installed ubuntu on one of them, windows is on the other
[06:48] <cristi1990> izinucs: and when i dezactivated the ubuntu hdd, the windows hdd still won't boot ...
[06:49] <nikrud> Acomaco   dpkg -L netpbm should show all the files installed,  dpkg -L netpbm | grep /bin/ shows the executables
[06:50] <izinucs> cristi1990, I'm no grub expert.. I googled and found a good howto on bigpond.net someplace.. sometimes multiple drives can be a pain  espicially if they are mixed ide & sata
[06:50] <cristi1990> izinucs: that's exactly my problem... mixed ide & sata
[06:51] <izinucs> cristi1990, so when redoing grub you can actually write it on both drives..
[06:52] <Acomaco> how do i remove a program with its dependsies?
[06:52] <Acomaco> or how you spell it..
[06:52] <K-Rich> Hey guys, i have an external hard drive with a vfat and an ext3 partiotion on it, they both auto mount but i cannot write to the ext3... /media/extern-vfat is owned by the user who plugged the device in, but /media/extern-ext3 is owned by root... how do i make it owned by the user?
[06:52] <cristi1990> izinucs: it is written on both drives, because it still loads the grub (with an error) if i devalidate the ubuntu hdd
[06:53] <unop> Acomaco, dependencies* - sudo aptitude remove packagename
[06:54] <mindframe> how do i go back to the ubuntu nvidia driver after i've compiled/installed the one directly from nvidia?
[06:54] <izinucs> cristi1990, sorry i don't have any specific answers.. my issue resolved pretty ease
[06:54] <jkalex05> ROFL I had an old pc that had a genuine windows xp issue. I was getting an error installing XP event though I reformatted twice.
[06:54] <jkalex05> Now im installing ubuntu, and almost done
[06:54] <jkalex05> screw you xp
[06:54] <cristi1990> izinucs: it's ok thanks a lot for your time :)
[06:54] <izinucs> cristi1990, np
[06:56] <jkalex05> is there any PC hardware diag tools for or in ubuntu?
[06:56] <jkalex05> noob to ubuntu here
[06:56] <izinucs> jkalex05, to discover what?
[06:56] <jkalex05> just to check for hardware functionality
[06:57] <jkalex05> or any hardware issues
[06:57] <jkalex05> non driver wise
[06:57] <Ce_alund> kkkkkkkkkkkk
[06:58] <izinucs> jkalex05, not sure.. if it works that's my test... discovery of hardware  is a different issue.. there are tool i know of for that
[06:59] <jkalex05> I have a bootable pc hardware diag tool. Just wandering if I could do something in ubuntu
[07:01] <izinucs> jkalex05, sorry i don't have the answer to that.
[07:01] <jkalex05> np
[07:02] <spartan7_> guys I setup my wireless router with WPA and my laptop cannot connect. I just flashed my router with dd-wrt. do I need to set it up differently??
[07:02] <jkalex05> there may be settings in the router
[07:02] <jkalex05> where stage are you on your lappy that you cant connect
[07:02] <Parsec300> spartan7_, if you set it up without encryption, can you connect then?
[07:03] <izinucs> !wpa | spartan7_
[07:03] <ubotu> spartan7_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:04] <spartan7_> I can connect to other routers but not to mine
[07:04] <jkalex05> has to be your router settings
[07:04] <izinucs> spartan7_, from what I've read on here.. there are many people  with difficulties setting up WPA.. it shouldn't be a router  issue.
[07:04] <praktora> guys i am using ubuntu and i was wondering if kubuntu is better ? can anyone give me an asnwer ?
[07:04] <izinucs> spartan7_, can you connect  without wpa
[07:04] <jkalex05> just use a 128bit WEP
[07:05] <spartan7_> yea to routers that are not secured, i have not tried wep on the router. my other laptops have no problem connecting and they are older
[07:05] <praktora> jkalex05 you have broadcom ?
[07:05] <praktora> sorry
[07:06] <izinucs> praktora, you can try kubuntu in just a few minutes.. in terminal type .. sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-desktop ... after install log out and change sessions to KDE .. you'll now  be in kubuntu.. change back to ubuntu anytime.  it's whatever you like
[07:06] <praktora> spartan you have broadcom?
[07:06] <spartan7_> yea!! broadcom
[07:06] <jkalex05> broadcom is an isp?
[07:07] <spartan7_> wireless card
[07:07] <praktora> ok i had the same problem with you. you need to reinstall your drivers
[07:07] <spartan7_> how?
[07:07] <spartan7_> sometimes it shows wireless connections that are not there anymore, did that happen to you as well?
[07:07] <jkalex05> i have a d-link n card
[07:08] <praktora> spartan7_ give me a minute to give you a full answer
[07:09] <spartan7_> prakriti: thank you much. i thought it was because i just flashed the router and I needed to do something to dd-wrt
[07:09] <spartan7_> :P
[07:10] <praktora> spartan you are using ubuntu now ?
[07:10] <spartan7_> yea,
[07:10] <phreck> How do i find my cdrom mount point and device
[07:10] <praktora> type in your terminal lspci and paste my private
[07:10] <spartan7_> new to irc as well as ubuntu. :)
[07:11] <phreck> me?
[07:11] <spartan7_> 2 weeks at the most.
[07:11] <baalsgate> hi
[07:12] <spartan7_> praktora: never even knew about irc before 2 weeks ago
[07:12] <praktora> i gave you a webpage private
[07:12] <baalsgate> ubuntu server is it upgradeable if i start configuring the current version or should i wait for  8.04 ?
[07:12] <r_a_f> hello there is option PRINT in gimp
[07:12] <r_a_f> ?
[07:12] <praktora> read it and you will found out how to resolve it
[07:13] <phreck> r_a_f, if you have a printer isntalled.
[07:14] <r_a_f> i installed printer after installed gimp :/
[07:14] <enby> Hi! Where does ubuntu store IP address vs Site name cache? I visited a site from one browser, and I know the IP address of that site changed, but I'm still getting to the old one, even if I try a different browser
[07:14] <r_a_f> now dont have option print :(
[07:15] <x1250> what would be the best way to synchronize my desktop and laptop? I want to synchronize projects, mysql databases and documents.
[07:15] <x1250> rsync?
[07:16] <JPSman> i need some discreet help
[07:17] <cpk1> how do I set my gateway
[07:17] <rhandyk> when is hardy heron due to be released?
[07:17] <wbreslin951> hi im having some issues with samba, when i type in smb://<ip of windows comp> all the files pop up, but when i go thru the 'places' browser and click the icon of the windows comp, it says 'files cannot be displayed.' im thinking its a config problem but i don't know how to fix it. any ideas?
[07:17] <AGS> rhandyk: afaik the 24th
[07:17] <phreck> How do i change my read/write permissions on my CDROM/DVDROM Drives?
[07:17] <unop_> enby, if you are experiencing that behaviour across browsers, then it's probably your home router that caches DNS lookups and it's caching them too long.
[07:18] <wbreslin951> anyone?
[07:18] <unop_> phreck, you can only change the permissions on the mount point, all contents on optical drives are read-only so you can't do that
[07:18] <phreck> ok, how do i change permissions on mount point and device
[07:18] <enby> unop_, oh thanks, i just thought maybe ubuntu has it's own caching system as well (like that hosts file in windows)
[07:19] <wbreslin951> samba_: can you help me with a samba problem? i figured u might be able to considering ur name
[07:19] <rhandyk> AGS: thx
[07:19] <unop_> enby, the hosts file (even on windows) does not cache lookups
[07:19] <AGS> wbreslin: on windows, does the file permission tab say "allow users to modify my files"
[07:19] <wbreslin951> ags: no..
[07:19] <rhandyk> what is ubuntu's equivalent of folder sharing
[07:20] <wbreslin951> AGS: i wanted to keep it as secure as possible
[07:20] <rhandyk> i want to share a folder in linux across the network
[07:20] <wbreslin951> !samba|rhandyk
[07:20] <ubotu> rhandyk: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[07:20] <unop_> rhandyk, ubuntu can share folders too, you can use samba (works well with windows pcs) or nfs (which works well with other unix systems)
[07:20] <AGS> wbreslin: you need maybe to change it, just to see if it works - play around with that setting a bit...
[07:21] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: for the most part its pretty easy to set up, but im having minor issues with it
[07:21] <rhandyk> wbreslin951: i'm not talking about samba, i want to use linux/unix way to do it
[07:21] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: that is the linux/unix way to do it
[07:21] <unop_> rhandyk, samba is a linux way to share files
[07:21] <rhandyk> what is the unix/linux way to share a folder across the network
[07:21] <rhandyk> hmm
[07:21] <rhandyk> unop_: hmm
[07:21] <unop_> rhandyk, samba or nfs -- both work
[07:21] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: r u sharing with two linux comps?
[07:22] <rhandyk> wbreslin951: yes, both ubuntu at my office
[07:22] <JPSman> how do I determine whether I have a patched driver working and installed?
[07:22] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: then its pretty simple, just create a folder, right click and click 'share this folder'
[07:22] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: 'Share Folder' sorry lol
[07:22] <rhandyk> wbreslin951: oh, i didn't notice it
[07:23] <rhandyk> wbreslin951: lol, thanks man,
[07:23] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: yup, its second from the bottom i believe
[07:23] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: np bro
[07:23] <rhandyk> wbreslin951:ubuntu is the #1 idiot friendly os in the world
[07:23] <sCOTTo> hey guys can someone suggest a good program to open and change eps grafix files? my gimp wont do it...
[07:23] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: unless your setting up a broadcom wireless card lol
[07:24] <wbreslin951> sCOTTo: eps files? wut program does that in windows?
[07:24] <wbreslin951> sCOTTo: thats photoshop right?
[07:24] <rhandyk> wbreslin951: ubuntu recognizes my netgear usb wireless out of the box
[07:24] <unop_> wbreslin951, eps is ehanced postscript, PS, corel, adobe acrobat can all work with it
[07:24] <rhandyk> wbreslin951: in that case you need ndiswrapper, right?
[07:25] <unop_> sCOTTo, what does the eps file contain? do you know?

[07:25] <hunter> guys i have installed boot chart could any one tell me where i can fi open that programe pls
[07:26] <wbreslin951> unop_: does acrobat work with vector images?
[07:27] <unop_> sCOTTo, i remember something called pstoedit, can't remember what package it was from that could work with eps file -- have a browse on packages.ubuntu.com
[07:27] <sCOTTo> brb
[07:27] <sCOTTo> thanks
[07:27] <unop_> wbreslin951, errm, i assume it does yes
[07:27] <wbreslin951> unop, sCOTTo: just look thru the package manager for pstoedit
[07:28] <unop_> !info pstoedit
[07:28] <ubotu> pstoedit (source: pstoedit): PostScript and PDF files to editable vector graphics converter. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.44-2 (gutsy), package size 160 kB, installed size 760 kB
[07:29] <wbreslin951> sCOTTo: sudo apt-get install pstoedit .. there ya go lol

[07:30] <wbreslin951> sCOTTo: np bro
[07:30] <sCOTTo> cheers
[07:30] <AGS> wbreslin951: You come right
[07:30] <unop_> sCOTTo,  apt-cache search eps # -throws up quite a few packages that seem to work with eps files
[07:31] <AGS> wbreslin951: You come right?
[07:31] <wbreslin951> AGS: ?
[07:31] <sCOTTo> thanks
[07:31] <wbreslin951> rhandyk: try typing smb://<ip of other machine> in the bar
[07:31] <AGS> wbreslin951: With your windows share?
[07:31] <captain> Hey guys, i was installing ndiswrapper and after the make command i ran into this
[07:31] <wbreslin951> AGS: yeah
[07:31] <captain> CFLAGS was changed in "/home/captain/bcm43xx/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.49/driver/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS.
[07:31] <AGS> wbreslin951: awesome
[07:31] <No1CaNTeL> hey guys, could someone help me get the brightness applet working? I'm stuck at full brightness all the time :(
[07:31] <hunter> guys i installed a webcam driver from this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320433&page=2, 6th post. the webcam anyway din work i think it was not compatable. when i cheked synaptic i found camorama has been installed so i removed it from there. now when i restart my computer its taking ages to come up. and the lsusb command on the terminal is not working.i installed bootchard to see the sripts but it doesnt appear on syst
[07:31] <hunter> em log.can any one give me a hint about whats happning pls
[07:32] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: do u have a shortcut key for brightness?
[07:32] <captain> any ideas what that EXTRA_CFLAGS means ? or why i got that error...
[07:32] <No1CaNTeL> not that I am aware of
[07:32] <unop_> captain, is there a reason for compiling ndiswrapper instead of using the package from the repositories?
[07:32] <No1CaNTeL> I loaded the applet onto the bar
[07:32] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: what kinda comp u have? im assuming a laptop considering theres no brightness control on the monitor
[07:32] <No1CaNTeL> ye
[07:32] <No1CaNTeL> s
[07:33] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: do you have a shortcut key? mines blue and has the letters fn on it
[07:33] <No1CaNTeL> I selected my monitor type already, but I get a red circle with a cross through it over the applet
[07:33] <captain> unop : following a guide for my wireless drivers here, had to do it this way
[07:33] <Kiborg> Hi! One question. How do I create a new user?
[07:33] <captain> i tried sudo make , same result
[07:33] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: do you have a shortcut key on your keyboard? mines in the bottom left corner and has fn printed on it..
[07:33] <unop_> captain, follow a guide that shows you how to use the ubuntu package, that is the recommended way unless that way doesnt work
[07:33] <No1CaNTeL> yes, they dont work
[07:33] <anand> hi all. ive just upgraded my laptop memory to 2GB RAM. I want to allocate 512MB RAM to my i915 Video Card. How do I do it ?
[07:34] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: try holding that key and pressing the up and down keys..
[07:34] <Starnestommy> Kiborg: system > administration > users and groups
[07:34] <AGS> No1Cantel: What graphics card you got?
[07:34] <unop_> captain, there is nothing against compiling packages, but you will have a headache if and when you do decide to uninstall ndiswrapper - the add/remove program does not handle manually installed packages
[07:34] <Dr_willis> anand,  that wold be a setting in the BIOS most likely
[07:34] <No1CaNTeL> I know my shortcut keys on my board, witht eh fn button, but if you mean did I create one in ubuntu then no
[07:34] <anand> Dr_willis: ive setting it to MaxDVMT in BIOS
[07:34] <fol> hi, is there a way to get out of the Gnome window system and go to command line in ubuntu?
[07:35] <Kiborg> Thank You I was looking under a wrong thing. :)
[07:35] <No1CaNTeL> I haven't gotten to shortcuts yet,  I am still a noob :P
[07:35] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: no u don't have to make the shortcut in ubuntu
[07:35] <Starnestommy> fol: ctrl+alt+f1
[07:35] <AGS> No1CanNTyL: What graphics card you got?
[07:35] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: just try holding the button and pressuing up/down
[07:35] <No1CaNTeL> so you meant eh built in keyboard combo, and no they stopped working when I swapped from windows to ubuntu
[07:35] <wbreslin951> AGS: i doubt it has anything to do with the graphics card
[07:35] <No1CaNTeL> the function button??
[07:35] <Fearful> linux is the best thing that has happen to me <3
[07:35] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: really? mine didn't lol
[07:35] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: yeah the function button
[07:35] <No1CaNTeL> fn + up/down is for volume
[07:36] <No1CaNTeL> which works
[07:36] <AGS> wbreslin951: with mine it was... ATI graphics :(
[07:36] <Dr_willis> anand,  it maybe it cant handle any more.
[07:36] <wbreslin951> AGS: mines ati as well and i didn't have to mess with anything for it to work
[07:36] <wbreslin951> AGS: the driver for the monitor is differen
[07:36] <wbreslin951> t
[07:36] <AGS> wbreslin951: ah
[07:36] <No1CaNTeL> but the icon for the brightness applet has a red circle with a slash through it, I assume there is a problem with the load right?
[07:37] <No1CaNTeL> the applet gives me a meter but the meter does not move
[07:37] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: possibly, maybe the driver got blacklisted?
[07:37] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: doubt it tho..
[07:37] <captain> CFLAGS was changed in "/home/captain/bcm43xx/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.49/driver/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS.
[07:37] <captain> any ideas what that EXTRA_CFLAGS means ? or why i got that error...
[07:37] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: what kind of monitor is it? do you know?
[07:37] <No1CaNTeL> my driver came with ubuntu so I couldn't see why
[07:37] <No1CaNTeL> yes, one sec
[07:37] <captain> unop i tried following multiple guides
[07:38] <captain> unop: but this guides seems to work for alot of ppl in the comments of it so i want to try it, but run across the error above
[07:38] <wbreslin951> captain: it means throw ur broadcom card off of a really tall building and buy a wireless bridge lol
[07:39] <unop_> captain, have you tried the ubuntu wireless wiki?
[07:39] <hunter> guys i installed a driver from the ubuntu forums from the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320433&page=2 6th post. the webcam did not work anyway. under the applications the came up as camorama webcam viewer.so i went to synaptic and i removed this from synaptic.now whe i restart my computer it is taking around 5 minutes to start up and lsusb command is not working on terminal. i have installed bootchart but i don see anyw

[07:39] <captain> wbreslin951: if only i could...  but ow we have to try and get it to work meanwhile
[07:39] <elpargo> anyone knows of a torrent client with RSS support?
[07:39] <wbreslin951> captain: yeah.. im thanking god that i had a bridge just laying around
[07:40] <unop_> captain, the link above is the official ubuntu howto for ndiswrapper, it has worked for a lot of people who have come through here
[07:40] <wbreslin951> captain: i must have spent two months trying to get it to work to no avail, until i realized i had an exra bridge laying around lol
[07:40] <No1CaNTeL> my LCD panel is a 15.4-inch WXGA Ultrabright TFT Active Matrix Assembly
[07:40] <Kiborg> any germans here? I need some help with german keyboard!
[07:40] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: what kind of laptop do u have?
[07:40] <No1CaNTeL> and my bad, I found my graphics card driver not the monitors driver
[07:40] <Starnestommy> wers: try restarting the display server with ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:40] <lubosz> hi
[07:40] <lubosz> how can i uninstall stuff, i installed with make install?
[07:40] <No1CaNTeL> Gateway MX6930 Notebook
[07:41] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: k, gimme a few minutes
[07:41] <No1CaNTeL> ty
[07:41] <Starnestommy> lubosz: cd to the source directory and then sudo make deinstall or sudo make uninstall
[07:41] <wers> Starnestommy, i want to know how to kill without ending my session. I have a lot of opened docs for work
[07:42] <selig5>
[07:42] <sympton> wers: kill what ?
[07:42] <wers> Symmetria, wanda the fish
[07:42] <wers> run "free the fish" in the run dialog
[07:42] <softtower> I am a bit confused by /usr/share/doc folder. Are those just random manuals in various formats or I am supposed to use some kind of tool to work with them?
[07:42] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: go to system > administration > screens and graphics
[07:42] <No1CaNTeL> k
[07:42] <xtknight> wers, right click it :p
[07:43] <xtknight> i discovered that on accident
[07:43] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: click the thing right after the 'model' part
[07:43] <Fearful> whats the best dark theme?
[07:43] <wers> xtknight, i tried that
[07:43] <wers> didnt work :(
[07:43] <xtknight> did on mine.  weidr
[07:43] <No1CaNTeL> the res dropdown?
[07:43] <lubosz> Starnestommy: thx
[07:43] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: right above that, what does it say in that box tho?
[07:43] <wbreslin951> right above the res dropdown
[07:44] <Cheetah> is there a detailed list of changes for ubuntu 8.04?
[07:44] <unop_> softtower, they aren't random, they're your documentation :) and the format depends
[07:44] <Starnestommy> Cheetah: someone in #ubuntu+1 probably knows.
[07:44] <No1CaNTeL> above it?? under the screen tab, the Model field is the first one showing
[07:44] <Cheetah> Starnestommy, thanks
[07:44] <No1CaNTeL> above it is location
[07:44] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: yeah, click that
[07:44] <Fearful> hey i have a question, can i simply upgrade when 8.04 is ready, keeping all my current things and settings?
[07:44] <Fearful> i'm really new to ubuntu and i'm fascinated
[07:45] <No1CaNTeL> k, I looked for my screen before but did not find it in this list, is there another driver I can use?
[07:45] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: there should be "model: ....." then under that "resolution: ..... at .... hz."
[07:45] <xtknight> wers.  excuse me.  the fish is still on my screen too lol
[07:45] <Dr_willis> Fearful,  yes that should be doable
[07:45] <Fearful> nice
[07:45] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: click the one right after model
[07:45] <wers> xtknight, see??
[07:45] <wers> hahaha
[07:45] <wers> it just runs away
[07:45] <wers> hehe
[07:45] <xtknight> that thing is elusive
[07:45] <Dr_willis> Fearful,  i tend to do clean reinstalls however.. Just seems to work a littel better for me.
[07:45] <Fearful> i see
[07:46] <Fearful> When will it be stable
[07:46] <softtower> unop_: thanks. are you on ubuntu right now?
[07:46] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: ya still there?
[07:46] <No1CaNTeL> my bad, I was seeing the res in both box's :P 3am :P
[07:46] <unop_> softtower, errm, what do you think? :)
[07:46] <No1CaNTeL> it says LCD Panel 1024x768
[07:46] <xtknight> wers, you can try restarting gnome-panel but i dont know if that will kill your documents
[07:46] <No1CaNTeL> generic driver I would assume
[07:46] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: k well click there,
[07:46] <sympton> start konsole and kill it by pid number
[07:46] <wers> xtknight, it won't i think
[07:46] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL:  and a choose screen dialog should pop up
[07:47] <No1CaNTeL> yes
[07:47] <xtknight> wers, ya i just did it " killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel ".  cant confirm if fish is gone yet
[07:47] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: in the manufacturer list, click generic
[07:47] <wers> okay. tell me if it's gone :)
[07:47] <wers> maybe it's the panel if the fish is an applet
[07:47] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: and under the model list, go to the bottom and click Plug 'n' Play
[07:47] <wers> and run dialog is also connected to the panel
[07:47] <xtknight> wers well i haven't seen it
[07:47] <mip> awk
[07:47] <softtower> unop_: windows? :-) I've been on this chat sitting @work. Can you please look at this file: /usr/share/doc/mailx/manual.txt.gz (txt inside). That's clearly not a simple text file.
[07:47] <xtknight> wers i got that tip from a page.. it's a gnome easter egg
[07:47] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: then click okay in both boxes
[07:47] <sympton> anyone here familiar with fighting pci wlan cards ?
[07:48] <wers> xtknight,
[07:48] <wers> yep
[07:48] <wers> so it worked?
[07:48] <Fearful> What's the best dark theme for ubuntu, I'm currently using Clear Glass
[07:48] <xtknight> wers yea
[07:48] <wbreslin951> sympton: broadcom?
[07:48] <wers> xtknight, yeah. 'cause run dialog is a part of gnome panel
[07:48] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: hows it workin? anything yet?
[07:49] <No1CaNTeL> k, it will not load properly in the second box, I get it under Model but there are no res or refresh rates available
[07:49] <unop_> softtower, i dont have that file -- and that file is compressed with gzip, so you need to uncompress it first to get the plain text
[07:49] <sympton> wbreslin951: tried that too, loaded restricted drivers, it found essid's, but couldt join on any
[07:49] <No1CaNTeL> and I cannot click ok to close the box, it does nothing
[07:49] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: is the 'widescreen' box checked?
[07:49] <wbreslin951> in the select monitor dialogue?
[07:49] <No1CaNTeL> it says widescreen but it is not checked
[07:49] <sympton> now i have a-link card, hich doesnt find any networks, it recognices on boot tho
[07:50] <softtower> unop_: I know about gzip :) but the text file inside has some weird symbols all over... I was thinking maybe I can read it with "info".
[07:50] <mvsn> I'm curious, is there a software for ubuntu that allows you to manage hosting servers? like when you are hosting through say Go Daddy, or 1&1 or anything like that?
[07:50] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: hm.. well as long as its working fine, you don't really need the res selector do you?
[07:51] <miggilinme> Sorry if I'm interrupting anything
[07:51] <No1CaNTeL> kinda, I am programming a couple guis and I need to test diff resolutions
[07:51] <miggilinme> My wireless card isn't showing up
[07:51] <No1CaNTeL> but with it checked or not it would not let me hit ok on the second box
[07:51] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: k give me a sec..
[07:51] <No1CaNTeL> one sec, I have it loaded at 640x480 p&p but I need to logoff
[07:52] <AGS> miggilinme: what model?
[07:52] <luke__kolol> hey all
[07:52] <No1CaNTeL> that res is too small but it was the only one that popped up after I restarted the graphics options
[07:52] <sympton> wbreslin951: got any tips with broadcom chipset ?
[07:52] <miggilinme> My model is BCM4306
[07:52] <luke__kolol> anyone know if theres a firewall for ubuntu?
[07:52] <miggilinme> On the default install I had the old bcm43xx driver
[07:52] <AGS> miggilinme: PCI or pcmcia?
[07:52] <unop__> softtower, i think the best thing to do is identify what kind of text file it is with 'file' - file /usr/share/doc/mailx/manual.txt.gz
[07:53] <wbreslin951> sympton: throw ur bcm card out the window and get a wireless bridge, the restricted drivers suck and ndiswrapper doesn't work very good either
[07:53] <miggilinme> Laptop
[07:53] <Starnestommy> luke__kolol: there's already installed called iptables or netfilter
[07:53] <miggilinme> dell inspiron 600m
[07:53] <No1CaNTeL> wbreslin951: brb, gonna logoff and reload the settings after the new drivers are initialized
[07:53] <AGS> miggilinme: hold on...
[07:53] <wbreslin951> sympton: unless ur like, computer genios
[07:53] <luke__kolol> thx
[07:53] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: dont
[07:53] <No1CaNTeL> kk
[07:53] <sympton> wbreslin951: ok, how about a-link wlan cards ?)
[07:53] <miggilinme> broadcom chip
[07:53] <jarango> I have two kernel versions installed in my system (both are ubuntu packages). I need some help getting the nvidia driver (also ubuntu) to work with both kernels. Is there a clean way to do this ?
[07:53] <wbreslin951> sympton: bcm is probably the worst as far as open-sourcing their drivers so anything other then them will probably work
[07:54] <sympton> kk
[07:54] <No1CaNTeL> k, now this is driving me nuts, I just reopened the graphics options page and now 800x600 & 1024x768 are in the list
[07:54] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: im saving some screen shots of the monitor settings for you just to make sure
[07:54] <No1CaNTeL> it is now set to plug and play 1024x768
[07:54] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: pm me? ill get ur email and send u the screen shots
[07:55] <AlphaOmega> how do i boot into command prompt?
[07:55] <No1CaNTeL> http://www.tinypic.com ?
[07:55] <softtower> unop_: thanks. let me try...
[07:55] <AlphaOmega> i hosed my xorg.conf
[07:55] <wbreslin951> AlphaOmega: before you log in, click options in the bottom right
[07:55] <sympton> any1 managed to get  Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 working ?)
[07:55] <wbreslin951> AlphaOmega: and it's right in there
[07:55] <AlphaOmega> i dont even get that
[07:55] <miggilinme> AGS: Long story short, I upgraded the driver to b43 using the wirless compatibility pack
[07:55] <sympton> wlan card that is
[07:55] <No1CaNTeL> post with a password if needs be, easier that way :P
[07:55] <miggilinme> AGS: I can load the module, but for some reason the interface isn't showing up anymore
[07:56]  * No1CaNTeL is probably the only internet junky who despises email :P
[07:56] <wbreslin951> AlphaOmega: when the computer boots, before you log in there is an options thing in the bottom right corner
[07:56] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: then where do you want me to put them? photobucket?
[07:56] <AlphaOmega> my xorg is hosed, so i dont see the gui srcreen
[07:56] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: yeah ill do that
[07:56] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: gimme a sec
[07:56] <No1CaNTeL> sure, or http://tinypic.com if oyu dont mind :P
[07:56] <hunter> hi
[07:56] <No1CaNTeL> kk, ty
[07:56] <hunter> can anyone help me pls
[07:57] <rodney_> where can i get live radio for breezy badger
[07:57] <No1CaNTeL> I do believe that I am setup correctly from what you described
[07:57] <SuperQ> !ask | hunter
[07:57] <ubotu> hunter: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:57] <luke__kolol> is it possible to get vnc on ubuntu?
[07:57] <softtower> unop_: well... it says "manual.txt: ASCII English text, with escape sequences". Of course it's ASCII...
[07:57] <AGS> miggilinme: oh, so you can detect the card, but not use the gui?
[07:57] <SuperQ> luke__kolol: yes, it's built-in
[07:57] <No1CaNTeL> my res is at 1024x768, plug n play driver, and refresh rate at 60hz
[07:57] <wbreslin951> No1CaNTeL: your shortcut keys for brightness should work now
[07:57] <No1CaNTeL> other then graphics options that is all there is to do
[07:58] <luke__kolol> superq then whats it called?
