[20:54] <ezerhoden> lupine_85: were you not refering to the phone phreaker ?
[20:54] <jdmnynja> notwist: good to see your in here! I got Ubuntu 8.10 64bit installed and running. I had to take our RAM and video card junk. Anyway, I'd love to do that, but whenever I update or try to install flash it pops up error. Is it because it is automatically recognizing rhythmbox?
[20:55]  * hlm is now going to restart, see ya soon!
[20:55] <lupine_85> ezerhoden: that was the general intent, yes
[20:55] <yao_ziyuan> how do i reinstall a package with apt-get?
[20:55] <k9> ok thanks
[20:55] <k9> buy
[20:55] <prince_jammys> lupine_85: apt-get --reinstall
[20:55] <ikonia> yao_ziyuan: --reintsal
[20:55] <ikonia> reinstall
[20:55] <lupine_85> being a clever pun, or play on words, upon the querent's handle
[20:55] <yao_ziyuan> ikonia: complete command?
[20:55] <MaxDread> without doing a soft-install, how can I fix a corrupted "sudo" command?
[20:56] <ikonia> apt-get --reinstall $package
[20:56] <prince_jammys> sudo apt-get --reinstall TheNameofYourPackage
[20:56] <MaxDread> the problem is that I can't do it as root
[20:56] <lupine_85> MaxDread: what do you hit when you try?
[20:56] <guntbert> MaxDread: what happened?
[20:57]  * lupine_85 always runs sudo passswd first on ubuntu systems
[20:57] <jdmnynja> notwist: i am downloading Amarok atm. Hopefully this fixes my rhythmbox errors.
[20:57] <MaxDread> Filesystem got corrupted, fixed it with e2fsck, and sudo itself got corrupted
[20:57] <notwist> jdmnynja: amarok is another media player entirely
[20:57] <joerack> can somebody please help me?  http://pastebin.com/m1ad6ee07   I don't know what to do
[20:57] <notwist> jdmnynja: and rythmbox does not have anything to do with flash in firefox
[20:57] <lupine_85> MaxDread: ah. well, reboot into a rescue shell, chroot in, fix however you can
[20:57] <jdmnynja> notwist: it gives me a rhythmbox error when i try to install flash.
[20:57] <christop1er> So. how would I install ubuntu oif the 8.10 live cd doesn't work (hangs with the error message, "No controller found" and throws me to busybox), and the 8.10 netinstaller is broken?
[20:58] <notwist> jdmnynja: weird
[20:58] <guntbert> lupine_85: why would you do that (sudo passwd)?
[20:58] <jdmnynja> notwist: very. i can't find anything about it on the launchpad.
[20:58] <christop1er> The 8.04 netinstaller seems to work. Would it be feasable to install 8.04 and "manually" update to 8.10?
[20:58] <lupine_85> guntbert: so I still have root if sudo dies
[20:58] <ikonia> christop1er: I'd make a quick guess that you where trying to use a raid disk system/controller
[20:58] <lupine_85> s/if/when
[20:58] <jdmnynja> notwist: or anything on the internet for that matter.
[20:58] <MaxDread> lupine: tried that... I need to be able to get a fresh "sudo" command from CD because even booting into recovery mode it wouldn't let me go out to the net
[20:59] <guntbert> lupine_85: sudo doesn't "die"
[20:59] <christop1er> ikonia: Not really. I guess my disk controller supports it or something. But no, just 1 disk
[20:59] <lupine_85> guntbert: it really really does
[20:59] <Appiah_> What do you do when ubuntu messed up the menu.lst? I got multiply entries for everything and it's all done by packages who wanted to add things,  got like 5x of everything
[20:59] <Appiah_> is there a way to make it autogenerate it again?
[20:59] <lupine_85> it dies when the system clock goes funny, when it loses setuid, when /etc/sudoers gets corrupted, etc
[20:59] <Appiah_> Ubuntu-Server 8.10 if that matters
[20:59] <christop1er> ikonia: I have one sata drive and one regular "old" one in. gparted finds them at least
[21:00] <jdmnynja> notwist: i just got to install amarok and I got this error message- E:rhythmbox: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[21:00] <NiranjanR> Appiah_, cant u manually edit the file and remove/comment out repeating entries
[21:00] <lupine_85> MaxDread: you can ar -x the /deb then tar -xf the contained data.tar.gz to get the binary
[21:00] <lupine_85> erm, .deb
[21:00] <Appiah_> NiranjanR: I'd like it to manage itself
[21:00] <notwist> jdmnynja: try googling, sorry but i have no idea
[21:00] <lupine_85> might be easier to just dpkg -i it though
[21:00] <guntbert> lupine_85, MaxDread: sudo allows all accounts in the group 'adm'
[21:00] <jdmnynja> notwist: all right, I'll see what I can dig up.
[21:00] <MaxDread> lupine: dpkg isn't working... can't get root
[21:00] <lupine_85> guntbert: and su is a handy fallback for when it breaks
[21:01] <lupine_85> MaxDread: hence the suggestion to chroot in from a rescue environment
[21:01] <jdmnynja> Anyone here have any idea what error- E: rhythmbox: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 - means?
[21:01] <MaxDread> lupine: I already tried it through recovery -- still no dice... thought that su was disabled, btw
[21:01] <lupine_85> jdmnynja: read up about 2 lines on the output you get and it'll tell you why
[21:01] <lupine_85> MaxDread: it is by default :/
[21:01] <Travis-42> is it possible to use /etc/hosts to point a single address at multiple ip addresses (e.g. if the first one doesnt work, try the second)?
[21:01] <lupine_85> setting a root password re-enables it
[21:02] <suicidepills> this is a total shot in the dark, but is there any way to run gnome-do on lxde?
[21:02] <ikonia> Travis-42: no
[21:02] <istvan> i ran a check on a program, and it returned the error it was missing: libCgGL.so -- how do i fix it?
[21:02] <ikonia> Travis-42: that would be round robin DNS
[21:02] <jdmnynja> lupine_85: the output details from the installation?
[21:02] <MaxDread> lupine: so it's not a permanent disabled, eh? Hmmm... ;-)
[21:02] <christop1er> Bleh. I'll just install 8.04 and do a dist-upgrade.
[21:02] <jscinoz-m1330> Travis-42, install a local dns servers (dnsmasq or bind) and have one host with multipl A records
[21:02] <lupine_85> MaxDread: what fails when you try recovery from an external environment?
[21:02] <NET||abuse> Hi guys. I have an old dapper web server box that just runs a couple of simple sites, i was trying to upgrade a php framework, and i wanted to update php on the server, problem is i'm getting errors on apt-get update  => Failed to fetch http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/ubuntu/dists/dapper/Release.gpg  Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[21:02] <Travis-42> hmm ok thanks ikonia and jscinoz-m1330
[21:02] <lupine_85> jdmnynja: yep
[21:02] <NET||abuse> can anyone help me soolve this issue?
[21:02] <lupine_85> MaxDread: no, you just can't log in as root by default
[21:02] <lupine_85> which is daft
[21:02] <jdmnynja> lupine_85: any way I can go back and review it? I already exited the details
[21:03] <ikonia> NET||abuse: sounds like the repo no longer has that key or that server is down
[21:03] <ikonia> NET||abuse: visit that url in a browser
[21:03] <lupine_85> jdmnynja: try to install it again
[21:03] <mun> hi
[21:03] <racecar-56> my floppy drive dosen't work, it isn't detected but in windows it seems to work, what's the prob? (if you know how to fix this please pm me)
[21:03] <MaxDread> lupine: from recovery environment, trying anything with dpkg like "dpkg --configure -a" failed to get out to the net
[21:03] <joerack> some1 pls help me  http://pastebin.com/m1ad6ee07   I really want to use windows
[21:03] <jdmnynja> lupine_85: well it actually installed it, the only problem is that the stupid error message pops up and I cannot remove rhythmbox from the add/remove programs
[21:03] <NET||abuse> ikonia, just did that, gpg file is there
[21:03] <lupine_85> MaxDread: if you have the .deb, that shouldn't be a problem
[21:03] <savvas> MaxDread: what seems to be the problem? no sudo?
[21:03] <lupine_85> and you can always enable the networking manually
[21:04] <amaurea> Hello. I am having some issues with 32-bit compatibility libraries on my 64-bit laptop in interpid. I am trying to compile a program in 32-bit mode, but libXext doesn't seem to have a 32 bit version. How can I get it? I am using the nvidia driver, btw
[21:04] <ikonia> NET||abuse: looks like the server is bouncing you
[21:04] <mun> when i use gnome-termial to set alias, the tab key doesn't seem to show path possiblities. for example, when i do alias java='/usr/<tab> it doesn't show possibilities. can this be fixed?
[21:04] <NET||abuse> ikonia, wow,, never happened before.
[21:04] <ab> hello all
[21:04] <MaxDread> savvas: yep.. no sudo... sudo corrupted after last e2fsck.. and as a result, no dpkg works either
[21:04] <runpain2> what program do i need to see my wireless connetion and the singnal streagth
[21:04] <ikonia> NET||abuse: interesting
[21:04] <ikonia> NET||abuse: file is not there
[21:04] <lifestream> Does anyone have a Logitech MediaPlay mouse? If so, could I have your config? (xorg.conf, Xmodmap)
[21:04] <ab> i am facing some problems in installing nvedia drivers in ubuntu8.10
[21:04] <ikonia> NET||abuse: try to download it manually
[21:04] <savvas> MaxDread: did you try running e2fsck again ?
[21:05] <lifestream> runpain2, network-manager or wicd
[21:05] <NET||abuse> ikonia, interesting indeed,, just ran aptitude clean; aptitude update; and it didn't throw any error, did apt-get clean; apt-get update; and it threw the error again?
[21:05] <guntbert> lupine_85: I still don't think you should tell people to enable the root-account, because all the things you mentioned don't "just happen" but are the result of some unintentional wrenching
[21:05] <MaxDread> lupine: I'll try that extract from the .deb on the CD... can you send that command string in a priv msg real quick?
[21:05] <amaurea> ab: what is happening?
[21:05] <ikonia> NET||abuse: the file is not there
[21:05] <ikonia> NET||abuse: that is why you are getting the error
[21:05] <Appiah_> ah i found update-grub
[21:05] <MaxDread> savvas: tried e2fsck several times. Was forced to do it because something hosed up with Tracker and locked up this machine...
[21:05] <ab> when i had installed the driver after logging in i just got blank screen.....
[21:06] <NET||abuse> ikonia, but I clicked the the link directly in the console and opened in firefox locally, i get a keyfile in my text editor
[21:06] <ab> amaurea : when i had installed the driver after logging in i just got blank screen.....
[21:06] <MaxDread> savvas: was trying to fix this without having to do a soft-install and then go through the hours of slow downloading updates
[21:06] <Titan8990> ab, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf from recovery mode and change the line:   Driver "nvidia"    to:   Driver "nv"
[21:06] <ikonia> NET||abuse: I get intermittant failure
[21:06] <Titan8990> ab, that will temporarily solve your problem so you can log in to the GUI
[21:06] <ikonia> NET||abuse: I guess it's got a "max limit"
[21:06] <NET||abuse> ikonia, weird. :)
[21:06] <amaurea> ab: you didn't get any warnings when installing it?
[21:07] <ikonia> NET||abuse: too many people must be using it - or there is a problem with the server
[21:07] <antares> Hello everyone!
[21:07] <ab>  amaurea : no , i havent got any warning
[21:07] <savvas> MaxDread: which release, hardy? 32-bit or 64-bit?
[21:08] <Wunderbar> whats the command for undoing an auto connect to a room in irc?
[21:08] <ortsvorsteher> !hello | antares
[21:08] <MaxDread> savvas: 8.10 Intrepet 32-bit
[21:08] <guntbert> Wunderbar: /part <channel>
[21:08] <NET||abuse> ikonia, i see.. just seems very consistent, tried 4 times now, apt-get always fails, is aptitude not checking ?
[21:08] <runpain2> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[21:09] <runpain2> is that no good
[21:09] <fearful> rupain2: What version are you running?
[21:09] <savvas> MaxDread: here's the package: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/sudo/sudo_1.6.9p17-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb
[21:09] <antares> I've got a question... Does anyone know where the ACPI thermal sensors are positioned inside a Compaq nx6110? when i do "acpi -t" i get 4 results, which one is which? Any ideas anyone?
[21:09] <runpain2> wait
[21:09] <fearful> rupain2: Of Ubuntu
[21:09] <Meshezabeel> Aly, can you please stop doing that in #edubuntu
[21:10] <guntbert> antares: that might be a question for #hardware
[21:10] <savvas> MaxDread: save it and remember the directory you saved it in. then you can boot in recovery mode and execute: dpkg -i /path/to/sudo_1.6.9p17-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb
[21:10] <MiladKhajav1> how can I insert the output of 'youtube-dl -g [URL]' command into input of wget command?
[21:10] <Wunderbar> also, how would i change my network password?
[21:10] <antares> guntbert: tnx
[21:10] <runpain2> ubuntu 2.6.24
[21:10] <lifestream> I installed a module, but now when I try to modprobe it, it says Not Found. :/ What can I do?
[21:10] <MaxDread> savvas: got it... gonna try it now.. thanks big time!
[21:10] <savvas> np :) hope it works
[21:10] <amaurea> MiladKhajav1: perhaps wget `youtube-dl -g [url]`
[21:11] <amaurea> MiladKhajav1: depends on what youtube-dl outputs
[21:11] <fearful> rupain2: I'm guessing thats the kernel version, what Ubuntu version it can't be under 4.10.
[21:11] <runpain2> gnome 2.22.3
[21:11] <Titan8990> lifestream, try:   modprobe -l | grep POSSIBLEMODULENAME
[21:11] <amaurea> MiladKhajav1: note the form of the quotes used
[21:11] <fearful> rupain2: Yea thats the kernel, I need the actual ubuntu version
[21:11] <runpain2> 4.0
[21:11] <fearful> runpain2: Type in a terminal lsb_release -a
[21:11] <runpain2> Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)
[21:11] <lifestream> Titan8990,  Yeah, it's not listed there
[21:11] <savvas> MaxDread: by the way, you might have to also do: dpkg-reconfigure sudo
[21:11] <antares> Does anyone know where the ACPI thermal sensors are positioned inside a Compaq nx6110? when i do "acpi -t" i get 4 results (T1, T2, T3, T4), which one is which? Any ideas?
[21:11] <runpain2> sorry
[21:12] <e3co> how to use pidgin on freenode anonymously?
[21:12] <MaxDread> savvas: duly noted
[21:12] <Titan8990> lifestream, how did you install the module?
[21:12] <MiladKhajav1> amaurea: thnks
[21:12] <fearful> runpain2: Ok, your running a Ubuntu 6.10 repository, you need one for your version.
[21:12] <Arch_NME> hello
[21:12] <runpain2> iam updating sudo
[21:12] <e3co> hi Arch_NME
[21:12] <Arch_NME> I need some assitance installing ubuntu8.10
[21:12] <SuperGuy_9000> Is there a place in Ubuntu where I can see information on all of my hardware, like the My Computer properties in Windows?
[21:13] <e3co> Arch_NME:  whats up?
[21:13] <runpain2> fearful dont know
[21:13] <Titan8990> SuperGuy_9000, lspci
[21:13] <Arch_NME> I want to dual boot with xp
[21:13] <guntbert> antares: your question is not on topic here
[21:13] <cherva> how to start X server with a specified resolution ?
[21:13] <lifestream> Titan8990,  I had the source, did make, make install, no errors. Though there was no output for make install O_o That's all it says to do
[21:13] <ortsvorsteher> !dualboot | Arch_NME
[21:13] <amaurea> Does libXext come with the nvidia driver? Can I install both the 32-bit and 64-bit version to get both versions of the library?
[21:13] <SuperGuy_9000> Totan8990, in the terminal?
[21:13] <Titan8990> SuperGuy_9000, or if you like GUIs.... (boo for GUIs)  system -> preferences -> hardware information
[21:13] <Arch_NME> and I don't know how to make it install to the partition I want
[21:13] <fearful> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz instead
[21:13] <Titan8990> lifestream, that typically won't work in ubuntu
[21:13] <savvas> Arch_NME: boot using the ubuntu live cd, and install ubuntu, xp will be automatically detected
[21:13] <Titan8990> lifestream, because the way that it builds and install modules is different from most distros
[21:14] <Arch_NME> I am botted with the live cd now
[21:14] <lifestream> Titan8990,  how so? :/ Hmm... even different from Debian?
[21:14] <Arch_NME> when I go to install and it gets to the partition step
[21:14] <Arch_NME> it trys to put the part at the end
[21:14] <SuperGuy_9000> Thanks to Titan8990
[21:14] <Titan8990> lifestream, you will need the kernel source (headers MAY work) or your currently running config to /usr/src/linux
[21:14] <Arch_NME> it won't let me select where to install it
[21:14] <Titan8990> lifestream, not different then debian
[21:14] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | Arch_NME
[21:14] <Arch_NME> it wants to resize aprts
[21:14] <antares> guntbert: i'm pretty desperate here...i've been searching on the internet for hours with no result... there are alot of ppl here, maybe someone knows, i'm sorry
[21:14] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | Arch_NME
[21:14] <lifestream> Titan8990,  Uuuggghh so I have to recompile the whole kernel?
[21:14] <MaxDread> with me luck... thanks again savvas and lupine.. much appreciated
[21:14] <savvas> Arch_NME: go to System > Administration > Partition Editor, you can see your devices and find your "/dev/" device by comparing from File > Devices
[21:15] <Arch_NME> ubottu: sorry
[21:15] <Arch_NME> yeah I have gpart open
[21:15] <e3co> PM me Arch_NME
[21:15] <Titan8990> lifestream, no, but you need the headers/source of your currently running kernel
[21:15] <angeleye> any 1 into hacking in here
[21:15] <fearful> runpain2: Did you get that?
[21:15] <angeleye> any 1 into hacking in here pm me
[21:15] <angeleye> any 1 into hacking in here pm me
[21:15] <angeleye> any 1 into hacking in here pm me

[21:15] <FloodBot1> angeleye: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:15] <Titan8990> lifestream, in fact, recompiling the kernel in ubuntu, ofthen just breaks apt-get when installing modules
[21:15] <Titan8990> lifestream, and highly not recommended
[21:16] <runpain2> Fearfull is that deb
[21:16] <lifestream> Titan8990,  hmmm I have linux-headers-26etcetc installed. Hmmm I can't install the module from apt-get because its not available there
[21:16] <bartek> Hi
[21:16] <guntbert> antares: I understand, but in this busy channel - please keep to the topic
[21:16] <Titan8990> lifestream, what driver is it?
[21:16] <antares> and the topic is?
[21:16] <lifestream> Titan8990, lmpcm_usb
[21:16] <Titan8990> antares, ubuntu help and support
[21:16] <Jordan_U> antares, Ubuntu support
[21:16] <Titan8990> lifestream, which is?
[21:17] <antares> i'm using ubuntu, and don't understand the output of a command in terminal
[21:17] <The_Joe_> I had to forcefully stop an apt - how can I free the administration directory?
[21:17] <antares> isn't that the topic?
[21:17] <runpain2> Fearfull got it
[21:17] <lifestream> Titan8990,  Logitech MediaPlay mouse drivers
[21:17] <savvas> Arch_NME: as I said, find your hard drive's /dev/ name. Leave it unpartitioned, don't make partitions using gparted- then in the ubuntu installer, use manual partitioning, and choose that /dev/ for the root ("/") and swap.
[21:17] <ortsvorsteher> !topic | antares
[21:17] <antares> lol
[21:17] <antares> very helpful
[21:18] <savvas> The_Joe_: usually this command does that: sudo apt-get update
[21:18] <muxomor> Hey, does anyone use psad, i have a question with mail in psad.conf
[21:18] <helper> hi sir about squid i start squid server i put this in squid.conf acl badurl url_regex -i google
[21:18] <helper> http_access deny badurl testing to block google's site i restart the squid and test on other pc doesn't work ? any help
[21:18] <Travis-42> On Ubuntu Server, I am stuck with a horribly small console.  I have tried adding vga=791 to #defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst but nothing changes.  Is there something else I have to do?
[21:18] <The_Joe_> savvas, k - trying
[21:18] <mibbx> hi, i want to replace windows completely with ubuntu on a computer with 2 drives and keep all my files... whats a good way to do this?
[21:18] <lifestream> Does *anyone* have Logitech MediaPlay mouse with all the buttons working?!    :----(
[21:18] <Titan8990> lifestream, when you did make install, what kernel source headers did it use?
[21:18] <LogicFan> mibbx, back up all your important files on external media or backup harddrive first
[21:18] <fearful> runpain2: Yes
[21:19] <muxomor> mibbx: standart installation
[21:19] <bastid_raZor> mibbx; put Ubuntu on the first drive and all your files on the 2nd. put
[21:19] <lifestream> Titan8990,  the one I'm running now
[21:19] <The_Joe_> savvas, Ok my connection dropped out and I had to forcefully stop that too >.<
[21:19] <The_Joe_> Now I'm screwed
[21:19] <runpain2> crap that did not work
[21:19] <guntbert> antares: I understood, you were asking for the location of the sensors on your motherboard, if I misinterpreted - sorry then, please restate you problem
[21:19] <mibbx> muxomor: during a standard install I can keep all my files?
[21:19] <savvas> The_Joe_: hm? I didn't understand, can you do once more: sudo apt-get update
[21:20] <savvas> The_Joe_: does it show any errors?
[21:20] <prince_jammys> guntbert: funny, that's how i interpreted the question too
[21:20] <pudland_> question: i didnt have an ethernet cord in when i installed ubuntu.  how do i auto configure the ethernet again?
[21:20] <The_Joe_> savvas, Yes " cannot lock administration directory..."
[21:20] <muxomor> mibbx: it will ask you to use free space for ubuntu, so that nothing will be deleted
[21:20] <muxomor> mibbx: but backuop rules anyway
[21:20] <The_Joe_> savvas, I know what causes it and there was a command to unlock the directory

[21:22] <LogicFan> pudland_, there should be two options
[21:22] <LogicFan> network configuration and network proxy

[21:23] <cellofellow> anyone know how to decrease the font size in the Pidgin buddy list?
[21:23] <guntbert> antares: that is definitely a hardware-related question, as the answer depends largely on your motherboard, but if you google lm-sensors and the name of you MB/notebook you will find something useful
[21:23] <LogicFan> pudland_, network configuration is what you want
[21:24] <redvamp128> runpain2:  if it is a must have you can change the server using software sources -- download from -

[21:24] <fearful> cellofellow: I'm almost sure that Pidgin uses your ubuntu theme to get its theme, so you would have to decrease the font from them Appearance menu for that

[21:42] <gui_> i was on full blown ubuntu, i just cleared all my harddrives
[21:42] <adaptr> gui_: no you don't
[21:42] <gui_> installed xp performance
[21:42] <fearful> prince_jammys: That would work for lets say I wanna clean upgrade to 9.04 (when its out) and I don't wanna go through installing again
[21:42] <jdmnynja> titan8990: got the same error again..
[21:42] <prince_jammys> gui_: all on one line, please
[21:42] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | gui_
[21:42] <gui_> ok
[21:42] <gui_> sorry, this my first time here
[21:42] <gui_> ok so
[21:43] <jdmnynja> titan8990: it is almost as if rhythmbox is missing pieces, but is not allowing anything to be done around it.
[21:43] <Titan8990> jdmnynja, check out this forum topic:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-562594.html
[21:43] <prince_jammys> fearful: do you want to save the names of the packages or the packages themselves?
[21:43] <gui_> I installed xp performance, and it didnt come with any drivers on it. so i cannot use my ethernet adapter or my wireless card. How should i go about using ubuntu (which im on atm) to get drivers for the xp side?
[21:43] <Titan8990> jdmnynja, it looks like you can manually place in the missing parts
[21:43] <hay_ig2000> hi all, i have a wireless network with wpa encryption, every time i log into the system, it asks me to enter the keyring, is there a way to remember the keyring?

[21:44] <Titan8990> asdfqwer, the proper way to do it would be to remove gdm from starting on boot up
[21:44] <fearful> prince_jammys: Names would do just fine I'm reading how with debfoster
[21:45] <chi_> whereami
[21:45] <prince_jammys> fearful: dpkg --get-selections does that

[21:45] <guntbert> chi_: this is the ubuntu support channel, welcome
[21:46] <chi_> hi! hi all

[21:46] <fearful> prince_jammys: nevermind solved :p
[21:46] <prince_jammys> fearful: no
[21:46] <Titan8990> gui_, I don't understand the problem?
[21:46] <Titan8990> gui_, download the drivers and put them on your windows partition so they can be installed?
[21:47] <gui_> where should i look for them though, the laptop manufacturer's website?
[21:47] <Titan8990> gui_, yes
[21:47] <istvan_> I am installing nvidia gelato, and it says i need to set the envirnment variable GELATOHOME="/opt/nvidia/gelato"  -- but if i do sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf and add it i get the error: sudo ldconfig
[21:47] <istvan_> /sbin/ldconfig.real: "/opt/nvidia/gelato" is not a known library type  -- what am i doing wrong?
[21:47] <gui_> Ok tyvm :)
[21:47] <Titan8990> gui_, np
[21:47] <epictetus> istvan_: ld.so.conf is NOT where you put environment variables
[21:47] <Titan8990> istvan_, temporary env variable or permanent?
[21:47] <apparle> which is better from while installation if I want the drive to be accessible under windows > NTFS or FAT32
[21:48] <istvan_> perminant
[21:48] <prince_jammys> istvan_: why don't you just export the variable in your current shell, and then install?
[21:48] <epictetus> istvan_: for one user, or for all users on the machine?
[21:48] <Titan8990> istvan_, user specific or for all users?

[21:48] <Titan8990> !ask | Flamittor
[21:48] <istvan_> for all (i am the only one tho)
[21:48] <Titan8990> istvan_, I would recommend just putting it in your .bashrc then
[21:49] <epictetus> you can put something like:   export GELATOHOME="/opt/nvidia/gelato" in /etc/profile
[21:49] <Titan8990> istvan_, but to apply to everyone you need to edit /etc/profile
[21:49] <Flamittor> Does ubuntu come pre installed with a firewall
[21:49] <istvan_> where is the .bashrc?
[21:49] <epictetus> or in ~/.bashrc
[21:49] <epictetus> it is in your home directory
[21:49] <pilkarn> what is richard stallmans advice to single-player-game developers? because subscription fees arent an option and unless they want to pay to see me sing at concerts how the hell do I make people pay when they have the source code and can compile it themselves?
[21:49] <Titan8990> istvan_, is every users home folder
[21:49] <guntbert> !ot | pilkarn
[21:49] <epictetus> pilkarn: Stallman actually sees a huge difference between "tools" (i.e. OSes, Apps, etc) and "games"
[21:50] <Titan8990> pilkarn, unless you are copy and pasting GNU code, you don't have to make it open source.....
[21:50] <p3ngu1n> LOL Epictetus.  so true.
[21:50] <istvan_> in my .bashrc i have -- export GELATOHOME="/opt/nvidia/gelato" -- but it still errors out
[21:51] <Flamittor> does ubuntu come pre installed with a firewall?
[21:51] <Titan8990> istvan_, you have to relog after editing your .bashrc

[21:53] <istvan_> the echo that is

[21:53] <Titan8990> jdmnynja, looks like:    dpkg -x /path/to/.deb
[21:54] <felicia> for some reason, my backlight level adjustments dont work unless i restart acpi every time i reboot
[21:54] <prince_jammys> fearful: you can have both ubuntu and xubuntu desktop installed. if you later want to make it "pure xfce", you can
[21:55] <fearful> prince_jammys Yea I was thinking of doing that, what would I have to install to make it pure xfce?
[21:55] <redspire> Uh, I was messing with my pam module configuration and I seem to have hosed my system.

[21:56] <fearful> prince_jammys Thanks:p
[21:56] <redspire> I was able to reboot the system into a root prompt -- anyone know how to reconfigure pam.d to use the default set of modules?
[21:56] <imri303> felicia couldn't you run it from rc.local?
[21:57] <hlm> what program cam I use for viewing and compiling c++ sourcecode?
[21:58] <attila> by accident i deleted knetwork manager on my interpid ibex what can i do??
[21:58] <kingsley> felicia: At least the debian distribution of linux, and possibly also ubuntu, which is based on debian, automatically executes scripts in /etc/init.d when you boot.
[21:58] <glitsj16> amathis: php5-mysql contains the PHP mysqli interface yes
[21:58] <imri303> any GDM/Login wizards out there?

[21:58] <amathis> glitsj16, ok, thanks
[21:58] <|Dreams|> does anyone know of a script to install alsa 1.0.19?
[21:58] <attila> no network connection any more
[21:58] <|Dreams|> the one i found doesnt work
[21:58] <bacaci|work> any chance that there is going to be an apt repository containing libapache2-mod-mono2 for use with mono-apache-server2 ?
[21:59] <genii> bacaci|work: PErhaps they'll have more knowledge on that in #ubuntu-server
[21:59] <kingsley> felicia: if you boot, and suspect that "/etc/init.d/acpid start" was not run, perhaps you could add at line toward the top of it, like "touch /tmp/a_file".
[21:59] <imri303> atilla can you get to a terminal and run dhclient on the interface to get a connection?
[21:59] <bacaci|work> kk

[22:01] <hlm> guntbert, thanks, but I need to compile this C++ into a native windows executable for a friend
[22:01] <kingsley> felicia: If /etc/init.d/acpid does not yet exist, you might want to check if the "acpid" package, which contains it, is installed on your computer.
[22:01] <hlm> does such an app exist?
[22:01] <bacaci|work> glitsj16 I'm not dot net myself os I don't really now
[22:01] <fearful> prince_jammys: Thanks again!
[22:02] <prince_jammys> welcome
[22:02] <fearful> prince_jammys: How about do you know the xubuntu repositories, so I would have them as if a fresh install
[22:02] <glitsj16> bacaci|work: ok no problem, just checking if you meant the same package
[22:02] <guntbert> hlm: then you need a so called cross-compiler, but thats beyond me
[22:02] <imri303> anyone have any tips for running apps from gdm at login?

[22:14] <kingsley> felicia: Look for the word "daemon", possibly in uppercase, and near the top of the file.
[22:14] <oskar-> brunner1:  you can set a static ip in the lan configuration and mark it as system default
[22:14] <amaurea> brunner1:  the network manager has settings for that. I am not sure if it is the best way of doing it, but I think I is a reasonable way

[22:21] <kingsley> felicia: I suggest rebooting, and checking the output of "ps aux | grep acpid". That will tell you whether or not acpid was started by /etc/init.d/acpid. That'll direct your subsequent debugging effort.

[22:36] <fde> blizzle: its fine, but if you answer such questions once, they inevitably continue asking more... its sort of a pet peeve of mine: offtopic chat
[22:36] <DigitalKiwi> 120 GB of ram? D:
[22:36] <tempmonkey> so basicly How do i set up network sharing on ubuntu 7.04 live CD??
[22:36] <Chester> sorry 1 gb of ram
[22:36] <fde> Is 7.04 even supported anymore?
[22:36] <opaldraggy> My network manager is claiming "device is unmanaged"
[22:36] <kingsley> felicia: Is my understanding correct that after booting your vaio vgn-fz series laptop, its screen is dark, until you type "/etc/init.d restart", at which time its screen becomes bright again?
[22:37] <mefisto__> !7.04
[22:37] <DigitalKiwi> you could just use a swap file
[22:37] <fde> mefisto__: yeah, thanks
[22:37] <fde> kingsley: your understanding of the contents of /etc/init.d/ is certainly flawed  :P
[22:37] <felicia> kingsley: no, its light, i just cant control the brightness until i run 'sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart'
[22:38] <pr3d4t0r> Greetings.
[22:38]  * fde really needs to read about adding "events" or whatever to upstart
[22:38] <tempmonkey> how do i check my ubuntu version??
[22:38] <fde> Entirely too different to sysvinit for my liking
[22:38] <ikonia> lsb_release -a
[22:38] <kingsley> felicia: How do you normally adjust the brightness?
[22:39] <felicia> kingsley: if i dont run 'sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart', i have to use the command line to do it
[22:39] <pr3d4t0r> Q. I am validating a business case for using Ubuntu server instead of Red Hat/CentOS for a production environment.  Can you please help me find some data points?  Thanks in advance.  I'm googling for information but any pointers are welcime.
[22:39] <pjsturgeon> i have set up samba shares on ubuntu server, writeable, guests ok = yes. i see them but when i enter a folder and try to make a new file/folder inside, it wont let me
[22:39] <webIRC_864417> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1WsL_iBBqk
[22:40] <felicia> kingsley: using 'sudo nvclock -S 10' or whatever i want the percentage to be
[22:40] <angeleye> i want to go into hacking  and programming i m very new to linux  can any one help me by being my mentor pm me
[22:40] <fde> pr3d4t0r: #ubuntu-server would likely be better for your questions... but if I wasn't in #ubuntu atm, I would seriously advise against that switch
[22:40] <felicia> kingsley: but if i restart it, i can use fn+f5/f6
[22:40] <guntbert> pr3d4t0r: that might be better in #ubuntu-server or #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:40] <DigitalKiwi> lolbuntu-server
[22:41] <burkmat> angeleye, Go to Wikipedia, find "computer". Then click every single link on the site, and read the articles. and click every link in every linked page. and so on. When you've read all of that, come back and see if you can't rephrase that (or apologize for your previous behavior). :)
[22:41] <pr3d4t0r> fde, guntbert: Cool - I'm heading to that channel.  Thanks for your help.
[22:41] <kingsley> felicia: Is my understanding correct that neither 'sudo nvclock -S 10' or fn+f5/f6 work until you do '/etc/init.d/acpid restart'?
[22:41] <fde> pr3d4t0r: strictly speaking about technical matters... CentOS will serve you far better than Ubuntu will...
[22:41] <tuxflavrdwafls> HI!  i finally got the cube figured out.  thanks for your help.  when I enable the raining effect all of my windows and desktops turn blank.  why is that?
[22:42] <DigitalKiwi> because the cube is fail ;)
[22:42] <_VIM_> burkmat: beat me to it. Was going to say something along those lines ;)
[22:42] <felicia> kingsley, no just fn+f5/f6
[22:42] <Flamittor> exit loging out
[22:42] <burkmat> ;)
[22:42] <tuxflavrdwafls> sorry, not following
[22:42] <fde> DigitalKiwi: you are starting to resemble a troll... stop
[22:42] <DigitalKiwi> uh oh
[22:42] <regeya> !polite
[22:43] <DigitalKiwi> it is known that compiz is buggy :(
[22:43] <DigitalKiwi> sorry, compiz-fusion
[22:43] <kingsley> felicia: Is my understanding correct that 'sudo nvclock -S 10' seems to work after booting, but fn+f5/f6 does not work until you do '/etc/init.d/acpid restart'?
[22:43] <felicia> kingsley: yes
[22:43] <_VIM_> DigitalKiwi: what ISNT buggy in the computer/tech world?
[22:44] <Uplink> i cant hear my audacity when it plays an imported mp3 file
[22:44] <Dilpickle1> hey yall
[22:44] <DigitalKiwi> well compiz-fusion is known for it XD
[22:44] <burkmat> _VIM_, "computer/tech" world? i'd just go for "world" :p
[22:44] <_VIM_> lmao!
[22:44] <DigitalKiwi> most of the life mass of the world is insects
[22:44] <marius_ilina> ppl, I have the resolution set to 1024 * 768, but all the things seem to be huge...esrlier today I connected an external monitor to my laptop and since I disconnected it, my resolution seems not no work propperly
[22:45] <noblestar> I'mtrying to connect to the server at synthetic geeks does anyone know how to do that?
[22:45] <Dilpickle1> why is my comp booting into low graphics mode?
[22:45] <Myrtti> DigitalKiwi: do you have support question?
[22:45] <Telekinesis> Compiz-Fusion is working perfectly for me, just had to tweak it to my liking. Old drivers play a big part. =P
[22:45] <marius_ilina> what should I do to get it back to normal?
[22:45] <szrhawaii> how do i install screenlets
[22:45] <noblestar> >>>I was wondering how to connect to a different server?
[22:45] <hlm> how do I change my sound I hear when Ilog in?
[22:46] <Doonz> how do i force a rescan of of hard disks?
[22:46] <noblestar> I was trying to jion a preestablished channel
[22:46] <DigitalKiwi> Doonz: man shutdown
[22:46] <kingsley> felicia: What is the '-S 10' option to nvclock supposed to do?
[22:46] <Myrtti> noblestar: in which network?
[22:46] <rww> noblestar: In most IRC clients /server irc.example.com
[22:46] <noblestar> synthetic geeks
[22:46] <szrhawaii> xkill in terminal is a force quit
[22:46] <fde> marius_ilina: if you go into System > Preferences > Screen Resolution and change it back, does it take the setting? If not, you might have to log out/back in to get additional resolutions
[22:46] <Doonz> DigitalKiwi: so what your saying is the only way to do it is to shutdown the system and reboot??
[22:47] <DigitalKiwi> well..it depends on which partition you want to fsck
[22:47] <Royall> I have a folder in my Trash and apparently I don't have the permissions to delete it. Is there a way to empty the trash for a specific user in ternimal under sudo?
[22:47] <noblestar> I tried to write in irc.syntheticgeeks.com doesn't seem to work
[22:47] <felicia> kingsley: it changes the brightness to 10 percent
[22:47] <Myrtti> Doonz: most of the filesystem types can't be scanned while they're mounted
[22:47] <DigitalKiwi> if it's home or root or any partition you can't unmount, then yeah
[22:47] <Doonz> ok Its not a mounted drive
[22:47] <fde> Doonz: you probably want fsck ... it will check on reboot though if something bad happened
[22:47] <rww> Royall: sudo rm -rf /home/username/.local/share/Trash
[22:47] <DigitalKiwi> man fsck
[22:47] <tharvey> what is contained in directories such as /home/$USER/.fr-* ?  some sort of cache files?  I've got about 15GB in those dirs and would like to clean it up if I can
[22:47] <_VIM_> noblestar: can you ping that server? maybe it's down
[22:48] <Royall> rww: thanks!
[22:48] <kansan__> if i want to enable third party folks to FTP into my box at port 21.... do i need to do anything other than ensure that the port is open on the firewall?  [ubuntu hardy]
[22:48] <Titan8990> tharvey, lots of things are stored in hidden folders in home directorys
[22:48] <Titan8990> tharvey, application settings and etcx
[22:48] <noblestar> I just don't know what to type into get into it
[22:48] <fde> tharvey: would you happen to be french? looks like it has something to do with internationalization settings?
[22:48] <noblestar> It's running on my other computer but my husband set it up
[22:48] <Titan8990> tharvey, best not to delete them unless you don't use the specified application anymore
[22:48] <tharvey> fde, no not french
[22:48] <noblestar> I don't know what he did
[22:48] <kingsley> felicia: Is fn+f5/f6 how your vaio normally lets you control the screen's brightness?
[22:48] <Doonz> ok ill give you guys more info. I have a port multiplier card. Its hotswap. I had to replaced a failed drive. im trying to figure out howto make the system see the new drive
[22:49] <fde> tharvey: can you pastebin an example file?
[22:49] <tharvey> Titan8990, well I'm trying to determine what app could have created them... seems strange to have 15GB of data in hidden dirs
[22:49] <felicia> kingsley, yes, but it doesnt work until i run 'sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart'
[22:49] <hlm> how do I change my sound I hear when Ilog in?
[22:50] <jfanaian> Hi, I have a question regarding bandwidth on an Ubuntu server. I just had a really big overage on bandwidth in the past few days and I can't figure out why. I ran webalizer on all my vhosts but it doesn't add up to even 10% of the bandwidth used up. Where else could I look?
[22:50] <Titan8990> tharvey, well, wine for example, stores everything the .wine directory
[22:50] <jfanaian> I have ntop installed now, but that won't help me find out what happened.
[22:50] <kingsley> felicia: Hold on...
[22:50] <Titan8990> tharvey, so if you run wine, a major chuck is prolly set up there
[22:50] <_VIM_> noblestar: well it pings just fine for me, it should work,,, you typed /server irc.syntheticgeeks.com in a irc client correct?
[22:50] <Titan8990> tharvey, evolution sends POP mail to a hidden folder, etc
[22:50] <tharvey> Titan8990, I understand hidden dirs... just trying to understand what 'owns' these
[22:51] <tharvey> looks like in one of the dirs there is a tarball of perhaps my home dir... some automated backup software?
[22:51] <Titan8990> tharvey, havn't heard of it, but possible
[22:51] <fde> tharvey: are you using Mint? Kubuntu? afaik regular Ubuntu doesn't come with backup software
[22:51] <tharvey> ie, /home/tharvey/.fr-FFUIUA/tharvey (only file in that dir) according to hexdump is a ustar
[22:51] <tharvey> standard Ubuntu 8.04 with gnome desktop
[22:52] <Titan8990> tharvey, make a temporary backup and delete it
[22:52] <szrhawaii> how do I install a screenlet
[22:52] <Titan8990> tharvey, replace if it causes problems
[22:52] <tharvey> file was written to last like 6 mo's ago
[22:52] <Titan8990> szrhawaii, install the screenlets package in synaptic....
[22:52] <jessica_> a
[22:52] <szrhawaii> thanks titan
[22:52] <marius_ilina> fde: the resolution is fine, only the way things look is wrong. is sais it's 1024*768 but it looks like 800*600
[22:52] <Titan8990> tharvey, you don't have to make the backup but I make backups of everything before I make changes
[22:53] <kingsley> felicia: Thank you for your patience. I think I now understand the problem. (And I wanted to answer the phone.)
[22:53] <rrva> how do I force the use of a specific wifi network.. now network-manager just auto-selects one..
[22:53] <fde> marius_ilina: hmm... try changing the fonts settings? widgets are resizable based on font size
[22:53] <tharvey> there are three .fr-* dirs each with what looks like a tarball of my home dir - I didn't creat them myself
[22:53] <rrva> i tried wifi-radar, but it seems broken
[22:53] <Titan8990> tharvey, but then again ubuntu reinstall proccess is not days long like it is with my distro
[22:53] <Doonz> how do i force a rescan of of hard disks? I have a port multiplier card. Its hotswap. I had to replaced a failed drive. im trying to figure out howto make the system see the new drive
[22:53] <t3mp3st> hi all; I'm having some serious wifi issues. I'm running 8.04 on a dell m1330 with a broadcom wifi board. I can only connect (sometimes!) to unsecured networks, and speeds are beyond unacceptable. I'm not using the broadcom driver that appears in Hardware Settings. I was wondering if someone could point me to a fix for this issue (I've searched the forms, but I couldn't quite find "the" answer)
[22:53] <Titan8990> Doonz, if your board support hotswapping, it will show up immediatly on its own
[22:54] <kingsley> felicia: I'm aware that power managment software, like acpi, tends to be more problematic.
[22:54] <_VIM_> Titan8990: 'my distro'?
[22:54] <Titan8990> Doonz, if there is a problem, it will be listed in:    /var/log/messages
[22:54] <Doonz> thanx
[22:54] <fde> Doonz: dmesg should have picked it up... and fdisk should list it... just probably fstab doesn't know about it yet
[22:54] <Titan8990> _VIM_, the distro I use, not a "linux from scrath" if thats what your asking
[22:54] <rrva> t3mp3st: is wpasupplicant set up?
[22:54] <t3mp3st> rrva: how can I tell?
[22:54] <Doonz> sudo fdisk -l doesnt list it
[22:54] <fde> Doonz: dmesg is the command that just echo's /var/log/messages ... so either are relevant
[22:54] <imri303> anyone have any experience running X apps from the login screen via customcommand?
[22:54] <kingsley> felicia: Instead of re-inventing the wheel, how much time have you spent searching google's web, and usenet, indices to see if anyone else has already solved this problem?
[22:55] <kinja-sheep> !kernel
[22:55] <fde> Doonz: if it lacks a partition table, you'll have to create one first
[22:55] <felicia> kingsley: thats why i just want to write a script to restart it on every boot
[22:55] <redspire> Anyone know how to reinstall pam configuration files?
[22:55] <_VIM_> Titan8990: ah, what distro do you normally use? Just being nosy :D
[22:55] <rrva> t3mp3st: dpkg -s wpasupplicant
[22:56] <Doonz> fde ok how do i get the disk to show up
[22:56] <Titan8990> fde, not ture, dmesg echo's /var/log/dmesg
[22:56] <wubrgamer> hey guys
[22:56] <wubrgamer> i'm just curious
[22:56] <rrva> t3mp3st: and pgrep -l wpa_supplicant
[22:56] <Titan8990> _VIM_, gentoo
[22:56] <wubrgamer> could you help me with xmodmap
[22:56] <wubrgamer> i need some help figuring out how to remap my right super key into a control key
[22:56] <fde> felicia: upstart.org ... look into how to create 'events' ... or you can likely throw it onto the end of rc.local (before exit is called) as a dirty fix
[22:56] <wubrgamer> control_R key preferably
[22:56] <wubrgamer> !xmodmap
[22:56] <kinja-sheep> For some reason, Ubuntu doesn't enable the Wifi in the kernel, I want to enable it.  Is !kernel the correct path for me?  I would have to compile the kernel myself.  Right?
[22:56] <Titan8990> _VIM_, ultimate geek distro, but not a good choice if you want some that "just works" like ubuntu
[22:56] <adante> hi guys when i try to ssh into my box it disconnects me as soon as i connect, is there an obvious solution to this?
[22:56] <t3mp3st> rrva: pgrep yields nothing
[22:57] <t3mp3st> rrva: ah, wait
[22:57] <t3mp3st> rrva: dpkg seems to say that it is installed
[22:57] <PhoenixP3K> Am I the only one who hates the System Menu from Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex?
[22:57] <t3mp3st> "Status: install ok installed"
[22:57] <DigitalKiwi> Titan8990: ever tried arch?
[22:57] <_VIM_> Titan8990: cool, yeah, my old computer could never handle to load of compiling
[22:57] <fde> Titan8990: Gentoo fights with you too much... Arch is the true geek distro  :P
[22:57] <marius_ilina> fde: doesn't work...I changed the font size for everything and the font type. things are just too wide
[22:57] <DigitalKiwi> fde: troll
[22:58] <fde> DigitalKiwi: true... should have moved it to #ubuntu-offtopic at least
[22:58]  * DigitalKiwi by no means trolls
[22:58] <DigitalKiwi> no siree
[22:59] <marius_ilina> it's 1024*768 but things look so wrong. and there's no greater value than 10248768
[22:59] <_VIM_> !away > felix-da-catz_zz
[23:00] <fde> marius_ilina: as I said, log out and back in... monitors are supposed to be hot swappable, but it could be taking away some resolutions
[23:00] <mustangg1> hey the chan. Any users of keytouch (editor)  who might know how I can select my device event? I am currently unable to make a selection from detected items.
[23:00] <marius_ilina> I logged out twice, I rebooted and I shut it down once
[23:00] <marius_ilina> nothing happens
[23:00] <felicia> fde: should i be worried that 'sudo' is a requirement when i run it in terminal?
[23:00] <jfanaian> Does anyone know where I could look to find out why so much outgoing bandwidth was used in my Ubuntu server? Tried running webalizer on all vhosts but that doens't account for even 10% of the usage.
[23:01] <PhoenixP3K> anyone knows how to change the behavior of the system menu in Ubuntu?
[23:01] <KenBW22> am i right in thinking "Create new wireless network" is a way to create a wireless access point using an ethernet-connected PC?
[23:01] <fde> felicia: no, upstart will be running as root...
[23:02] <wubrgamer> how do I reload my .xmodmap config?
[23:02] <wubrgamer> anyone?
[23:02] <wubrgamer> HELP
[23:02] <aleax> Hello. I'm looking for an e-mail client can access an IMAP account in read-only mode. Any idea?
[23:02] <fde> wubrgamer: source it
[23:02] <Flare183> !patients | wubrgamer
[23:02] <felicia> fde: can you link me to some type of tutorial? im kinda inexperience with linux
[23:02] <fde> !patience
[23:02] <Flare183> !patient | wubrgamer
[23:02] <Flare183> ><
[23:02] <Flare183> crap
[23:03] <Commie_Cary> why is team fortress 2 randomly crashing
[23:03] <fde> !upstart | felicia
[23:03] <kingsley> felicia: It seems to me that the advantages of searching Google's web and usenet indices to see if anyone else solved the real problem, instead of simply restarting apcid, would be 1.) You might learn something interesting. 2.) You might solve the core problem, which would allow you to use fn+f5/f6, and 3.) the core problem wouldn't pop up some other way.
[23:03] <PhoenixP3K> aleax : if it's read only isn't that POP behavior then?
[23:03] <hlm> Commie_Cary, dont forget TF2 is for windows, unexpected results WILL occur
[23:04] <Commie_Cary> hlm, but it has a plat rating
[23:04] <Titan8990> sorry, if i was helping anyone, got d/ced
[23:04] <aleax> PhoenixP3K: I can't have folders with POP, can I?
[23:04] <adante> hi folks, i'm trying to ssh into my box, it keeps closing the connection as soon as i connect, i don't want it to do this, how can i stop it? i've tried setting usedns no but it still does this after restart of sshd
[23:04] <hlm> Commie_Cary, what do you mean?
[23:04] <Commie_Cary> hlm, winehq rates it as platimum
[23:04] <felicia> kingsley: the thing is, i tried already, and my fix for fn+f5/f6 involves editing a lot of files, so i doubt someone will have the same problem
[23:04] <imri303> most broadcom chips i have had experience with I have had to use the driver from broadcom
[23:05] <hlm> Commie_Cary, does your videocard properly support it?
[23:05] <detrix> I got a usb flash drive thats not automounting, trying to figure out why
[23:05] <PhoenixP3K> aleax ; depends on the client, but with filters you can have them moved from the regular inbox to folders you specify. Basicly you create similar filters then what you have on the server side (web email or else)
[23:05] <kingsley> felicia: What did you already try?
[23:05] <imri303> felicia have you just tried putting it in /etc/rc.local ?
[23:06] <PhoenixP3K> I'm looking for a way to change the Gnome menu in ubuntu, I want it like it was in Hardy
[23:06] <PhoenixP3K> the log in, shut down options I mean
[23:07] <aleax> PhoenixP3K: But I can't access the folders at all with POP. There's just The Inbox. I want to test the IMAP account but don't want any changes like flags on messages ...
[23:08] <detrix> How do I find the /dev/sd?? that my usb flash drive is in, I have it pluged into a 4 port hub.
[23:08] <imri303> detrix run dmesg
[23:09]  * kingsley needs to go soon...
[23:10] <PhoenixP3K> aleax : I see what you mean. I use Opera for IMAP access of my Gmail, I do disable all spam filters to make sure I don't loose email. But I think that by nature IMAP was made so that the client could act on the account as if it was the mail server itself
[23:11] <felicia> imri303: apparently, whatever makes it go wrong happens later, so it doesnt work

[23:17] <paradoxgo> How do I get rid of the delayed response when I click on my touchpad?
[23:17] <leafw> Sal__: try "vncserver :16" on server and then "vncviewer -via user@server-ip localhost:16"
[23:17] <DigitalKiwi> it is preference
[23:17] <mn> Sal__: ease of use
[23:17] <DigitalKiwi> I prefer neither of them :/
[23:17] <detrix> gnomw
[23:17] <detrix> gnome
[23:17] <leafw> detrix: yes, 8.10
[23:17] <IndyGunFreak> tyrosine2: its preference.... i personally don't like KDE, but a lot of folks love it.
[23:18]  * DigitalKiwi just uses the best app available
[23:18] <DigitalKiwi> not the one gnome or kde think is the best
[23:18] <Syco54645_AAO> hey boners
[23:18] <DigitalKiwi> (and surprise, it's often not a gnome or kde app)
[23:18] <Syco54645_AAO> oh my fucking god does this look terrible

[23:19] <detrix> imri303:  yes
[23:19] <imri303> detrix I think gnome-volume-manager is responsible for automount
[23:19] <felicia> kingsley: i think i found the problem
[23:19] <felicia> i jsut dont know how to fix it
[23:20] <Anvbis> I've been trying to get ubuntu fonts to look impressive, and I have the truetype fonts...but they don't look quite so hot - I was thinking of using clear type - does anybody know how to do that?
[23:21] <detrix> imri303:  I have not played with that yet.  do I just use the shell to access the gnome-volume-manager?
[23:21] <imri303> detrix I am checking on my system. One Sec :)
[23:21] <fde> Anvbis: you can't really... it is patented by microsoft ... you can do neat tricks though via System > Preferences > Appearence > Fonts under "Details"
[23:22] <fde> Anvbis: same basic outcome, just don't call it cleartype  ;)
[23:22] <Anvbis> fde: this sounds counter ubuntu but isn't - what settings are best to make it look like Windows Vista fonts?
[23:22] <Anvbis> ie what fonts for which categories?
[23:23] <fde> Anvbis: I use subpixel smoothing, and full hinting
[23:23] <Sarai> My laptop dual boots vista and ubuntu, which I installed using ubuntu. Vista has crashed and is unbootable- frankly I'm not too torn up about it since I was wanting to ditch it anyway. The only thing I had stored on there was my music. Any way of accessing that part of my hard drive from ubuntu?
[23:23] <Sarai> sorry, installed using WUBI
[23:23] <fde> I also use FreeSans and FreeMono (for fixed width)
[23:24] <Anvbis> ok, thanks fde

[23:25] <DigitalKiwi> Sarai: sure, mount it
[23:25] <fde> Not everyone likes them though, but that font looks best on my CRT monitor... but those details options should look good with most any font Anvbis
[23:25] <gescape> Sarai: have you tried to mount vista partition?
[23:25] <Sarai> gescape: I don't see any partitions to mount
[23:25] <imri303> detrix not finding gnome-volume-manager on my system :( I am not sure what automounts usb drives
[23:26] <DigitalKiwi> sudo fdisk -l
[23:26] <gescape> Sarai: parted
[23:26] <Anvbis> fde: I'm in vista now, and I notice a kind of shadowing but didn't see that option in ubuntu, do you know what I'm talking about? Is that the clear type?
[23:26] <hlm> is there a way to make the panels stay the system color scheme, but with opacity?
[23:26] <gescape> Sarai: man mount
[23:26] <Sarai> ">	sudo fdisk -l"
[23:26] <Sarai> "Cannot open /dev/sda"
[23:27] <fde> Anvbis: the settings I told you are basically what cleartype does

[23:28] <imri303> we have a system that requires a net connection to login and if there is none there is no way (besides a terminal) to setup network stuff
[23:28] <fde> kansan: edit /etc/passwd ... and ensure the dir actually exists

[23:38] <RichW> KenBW22, Thats never worked for me.
[23:38] <Titan8990> filosofixit, are you sure that the fakeRAID you have is supported?
[23:38] <Until_It_Sleeps> Help!!!! I installed Windows 7 onto an empty partition, and now Grub has vanished off my laptop!

[23:38] <Sarai> gescape: already installed
[23:38] <Titan8990> filosofixit, and lastly, are you aware that RAID0 is both slower and less fault tolerent that single disc set ups?
[23:38] <MEESO_THELIOMA> this is weird, i burned an ISO of 8.10 on both a DVD and a CD
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Until_It_Sleeps There is the answer to that in detail..  just ask if you have questions about it
[23:38] <MEESO_THELIOMA> via iso from ubuntu website
[23:38] <gescape> Sarai: and try something like "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/vista"
[23:38] <MEESO_THELIOMA> and the autoloader.............gets a glitched graphic

[23:39] <MEESO_THELIOMA> i get line/graphics on first window, and installer freezes
[23:39] <filosofixit> Titan8990  : I thought Raid0 should be faster, but unsecure
[23:39] <RichW> KenBW22, Well it never seems to appear on any other devices and then after a while it reverts to old settings.
[23:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > MEESO_THELIOMA

[23:39] <Sarai> gescape:  if I create the folder won'
[23:39] <Titan8990> filosofixit, raid does not affect security.... but it does effect fault tolerence
[23:39] <Sarai> t ther be nothing in it? (sorry hit the enter by accident)
[23:39] <gescape> Sarai: create what you want :)
[23:39] <Titan8990> filosofixit, and no, it is not faster, look up benchmarks and see for yourself
