[10:58] <soundray> Rafik: switch to the X console again (Ctrl-Alt-F7)
[10:59] <renato__> hi, I need some help to invstigate whether something went wrong in one server "locally" or whether somebody managed to break in and mess it up
[10:59] <hwilde> soundray, on my laptop, external hardware output would not activate unless I booted into windows and hit ctrl+f7 or whatever, then reboot into linux and it would export.  never got around that
[10:59] <hwilde> renato__, what symptoms
[10:59] <soundray> hwilde: and you've been through all the xrandr stuff?
[11:00] <Rafik> soundray, black screen...
[11:00] <astarmathsandphy> hi
[11:00] <hwilde> soundray, yeah the dang hardware was not outputting nothing
[11:00] <hwilde> soundray, didn't even have to login to windows tho, just the login prompt, then reboot.
[11:00] <hwilde> soundray, replicated on multiple dell laptops
[11:00] <renato__> well, I cannot log in anymore, I managed to have a look at the server by booting from a cd (the system does not boot anymore for priviledges problems) I see  my own homedir has differen user and group, the auth lof stops 10 days ago....
[11:00] <renato__> lof = log
[11:01] <soundray> Rafik: was there another "connected" line in the xrandr -q output? Do Ctrl-Alt-F2 to see it again
[11:01] <soundray> Rafik: is yours a Dell laptop?
[11:01] <renato__> mu home dire is owned by 1000:1000
[11:01] <renato__> direcotry
[11:01] <DistroJockey> Rafik, did you press a key or move the mouse while at that black screen?

[11:02] <Rafik> DistroJockey, yes I did
[11:02] <DistroJockey> Rafik, k, just checking :)
[11:02] <Rafik> :)
[11:03] <soundray> Rafik: was there another "connected" line?
[11:03] <azn_emo_boi101> What window decorator does netbook remix use?
[11:03] <djc> hmm, looked like my iso was damaged
[11:03] <djc> at least that's not a hardware problem
[11:03] <Rafik> soundray, there is "VGA-0 connected 1024x769+0+0... and after a few lines : LVDS connnected 1024x768...
[11:04] <Rafik> soundray, last line : S-video disconnected
[11:05] <renato__> hwilde: well, I cannot log in anymore, I managed to have a look at the server by booting from a cd (the system does not boot anymore for priviledges problems) I see  my own homedir has different owner and group, the auth log stops 10 days ago....
[11:05] <soundray> Rafik: okay. The LVDS is your laptop screen. Clearly, the graphics card has recognized the external screen.
[11:06] <cppmonkey> can anyone tell me what the difference is between the normal desktop disk and the alternative one?

[11:08] <cppmonkey> cheers soundray, maybe it'll support the pcie sata controller i have...
[11:08] <soundray> cppmonkey: fingers crossed ;)
[11:09] <Rafik> soundray,  I took much of your time, thanks a lot. If you think it's easier to log in from another computer. I'll try to find a tutorial
[11:10] <soundray> Rafik: there's one more thing I'd like to try:
[11:11] <soundray> Rafik: 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'. If the screen goes black again, log in again blindly and see if it comes on

[11:18] <xlat> 1
[11:18] <igorxus> no, you should find: sshd
[11:18] <soundray> Rafik: sorry, I'm out of ideas now. Even if you put it on a network now, I wouldn't have any other suggestions. Maybe look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors, but I don't think there will be anything
[11:18] <igorxus> this is the daemon of ssh
[11:19] <igorxus> actually you should find /usr/bin/sshd

[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Expl0ited: find -name *.mp3 -exec sudo chown newownername {} \;
[11:19] <igorxus> if not, check with synaptic that ssh-server is installed

[11:25] <Scorp_> gnomefreak: sure.. thats a nice opt...
[11:25] <gnomefreak> Scorp_: `if that works its because of a package or 2 from non-official repos
[11:25] <Expl0ited> soundray: I suspect though that its a bug in nautilus and not ubuntu per se...
[11:26] <_spm_Draget> 'sudo update-rd.d nis boot' does not work, what am I doing wrong?

[11:31] <kk_ubuntu> hello im having ubuntu hardi 8.04.1 on an ibm lenovo thinkpad r 60.  it has a core2 duo processor with 1 gb ram.  I am trying to set it to record through sound recorder.  although it does not give any errors, it is not recording any sound.  the mike is working but the file is all blank.
[11:31] <Scorp_> gnomefreak: Gotcha.. Thanks..!!
[11:31] <gnomefreak> !ultamatix | Scorp_
[11:32] <soundray> BonezAU: I think it will work if you run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' and answer 'No' at the dialog, then 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> vox: nice. haha
[11:32] <Scorp_> gnomefreak: Alright... I got you...

[11:32] <JonathanJenkins> hey, i'm running a uk-wide survey and would really appreciate some responses if people can spare 5-10mins, there will be a draw for a Nokia E71 for those who take part. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/61605/demand-for-mobile-data-ubuntu
[11:33] <soundray> BonezAU: does /bin/sh point to bash now?
[11:33] <Oli``> JonathanJenkins: Not here. This is a support channel.
[11:33] <soundray> JonathanJenkins: might be better to ask in #ubuntu-uk
[11:33] <Oli``> soundray: no =(
[11:34] <kk_ubuntu> ActionParsnip:  what exactly should I do?  a hint is that it was working fine before.
[11:35] <JonathanJenkins> soundray already done there but suspect few users go there
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> kk_ubuntu: fire up your app and make sure its all set right in the config, or reinstal the app
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> kk_ubuntu: or use a different one
[11:35] <BonezAU> soundray: yes it does
[11:35] <kk_ubuntu> ActionParsnip:  i tried arecord and sound recorder
[11:35] <_numbers_> good morning
[11:36] <soundray> BonezAU: okay, let's apply some brute force then. Do you know whether bnetd is still running on your system now?
[11:36] <kk_ubuntu> ActionParsnip: i think there is some thing wrong with the sound settings
[11:36] <BonezAU> soundray: no I killed the process earlier, i just checked again and it is not running
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> kk_ubuntu: then off you go to check, use websearches too
[11:37] <frogscott1> trying to install flash for firefox bit of help?
[11:37] <BonezAU> frogscott1: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[11:38] <soundray> BonezAU: in that case, I would 'sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/bnetd.prerm' and insert 'exit 0' as the second line. After that, apt-get remove should succeed
[11:38] <frogscott1> thanks one sec let me try
[11:38] <Syntux> Good day, is there a list of packages in ubuntu CD ? just packages included in the cd?
[11:38] <BonezAU> soundray: yes that worked!
[11:39] <soundray> BonezAU: it's a bug in the prerm script. You might want to report it on launchpad
[11:39] <BonezAU> soundray: thank you, I will do
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Syntux: cd /media/cdrom0; find -name *.deb
[11:40] <frogscott1> Bonez it appeared to work but I want flash 9 is that what it did?
[11:42] <gustavo> hi everybody
[11:42] <soundray> frogscott1: yes. Right-click on flash content and select About... to check
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> hi gustavo
[11:42] <frogscott1> on firefox?
[11:42] <soundray> frogscott1: yes. Where else would you see flash content?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> soundray: opera?
[11:43] <ale22944> Hi all! Just upgraded from Gusty to Hardy ang now have a big problem with wireless networking. My card is an Intel 3945 ABG, find networks but doesn't connect! Any idea? Tnx
[11:44] <soundray> ActionParsnip: nice one. But he asked for help installing flash in firefox originally
[11:44] <gustavo> ale, did you try with that new option called Restricted Drivers?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> soundray: haha :)
[11:44] <gustavo> in System / Administration
[11:44]  * soundray wants a cup of coffee
[11:45] <frogscott1> its there tanks
[11:46] <ale22944> gustavo: unfortunately in Hardy yhe restricted driver for Intel 3945 ABG is not available
[11:46] <ale22944> :(
[11:46] <frogscott1> so now I am trying to run flock on Ubuntu and it seems to be opening but never does
[11:46]  * ActionParsnip has tea :)
[11:47] <soundray> ale22944: please enable backports and try linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic
[11:47] <soundray> !backports > ale22944
[11:48] <soundray> frogscott1: what's flock -- clustering?
[11:48] <tonohono> ale22944: Try an lsmod | grep 3945. Is ipw3945 loaded? What about iwl3945?
[11:48] <frogscott1> flock is a browser which uses mozilla as its base
[11:49] <frogscott1> so its the same as mozilla just tweaked and it runs on Ubuntu
[11:49] <hackintosh411> Hey guys.
[11:49] <soundray> frogscott1: it's not in the repositories, though
[11:49] <hackintosh411> I need to know how to disable my eht0.
[11:50] <frogscott1> no it isnt but I can show u how I installed it
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> theres other firefox clones too like silverfox (I think)
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> hackintosh411: permanently?
[11:50] <hackintosh411> Yes.
[11:50] <frogscott1> or didnt install it rather
[11:50] <soundray> hackintosh411: System-Administration-Network -- just untick the wired network
[11:50] <hackintosh411> I have eht0 on and wireless on so my internet connection only last 10 mins
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> hackintosh411: edit outh the eth0 lines in /etc/network/interfaces, you'll need gksu
[11:51] <soundray> hackintosh411: they shouldn't interfere, actually
[11:51] <Rotlaus> How do i check a harddisk for bad sectors?
[11:51] <hackintosh411> What is the code for gksu.
[11:51] <hackintosh411> Im a noob at ubuntu.
[11:51] <soundray> hackintosh411: what's your wireless chipset?
[11:51] <hackintosh411> Broadcom
[11:51] <soundray> hackintosh411: stick with me for now, please
[11:52] <soundray> hackintosh411: disabling eth0 won't help
[11:52] <hackintosh411> What will?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> hackintosh411: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old; gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> hackintosh411: soundrayis right but if you wanna disable it you can
[11:52] <soundray> ActionParsnip: did you look at the actual problem?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> soundray: read aove
[11:53] <soundray> :)
[11:53] <hackintosh411> So wait.
[11:53] <hackintosh411> What will help.
[11:53]  * ActionParsnip hands soundray the fallen penny
[11:53] <hackintosh411> My wireless only last for damn 10 mins and its annoying to shut my computer on and off.
[11:53] <vallhalla81> i am looking for an application to record from a microphone can anyone sugest 1 for me please i have tryed sound recorder from synaptic
[11:53]  * soundray is unfamiliar with that expression...
[11:54] <frogscott1> the penny dropped
[11:54] <hackintosh411> Anyone?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> !record
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> !find record
[11:54] <soundray> Rotlaus: modern hard disks manage their own bad sectors. You can install smartmontools for some HD testing utilities
[11:54] <hackintosh411> Im pretty sure my wireless will disable in a couple of mins.
[11:55] <soundray> frogscott1: there is no need to pm me orders
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: tried audacity?
[11:55] <frogscott1> ok here is the page I used to install it
[11:55] <frogscott1> http://brentroos.com/2006/07/24/install-flock-on-ubuntu/
[11:55] <Abracadabra> What does && stand for in Linux ?
[11:55] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: i will check it out thank you
[11:55] <soundray> hackintosh411: can you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see if anything is logged when it fails?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: only continue if previous step succeeds
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: check config too
[11:56] <askand> Take a look at this link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/enable-smooth-fonts-on-ubuntu-linux/        Is there still a need for this or do you get the same out of the GUI-fonts dialog?
[11:56] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: i am not sure what my config should be
[11:57] <Abracadabra> so, someone wrote this command.....&& rm -rf (remove -recursive, -f no prompting)
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> vallhalla81: make sure the audio devices used by the apps are the one in your system
[11:57] <vallhalla81> ActionParsnip: ah i see what you meen  will do ty
[11:57] <frogscott1> soundray any way u could look at that page and see if it will work? it takes all of 30 secs
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: no, dont unless ASOLUTELY necessary
[11:57] <Abracadabra> just wondered what the ampersands in front were used for
[11:57] <webfarmer> I'm trying to install Click to Speak and when I hit the installation I get java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/lib/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/lib/ext/CLC4TTS_java.jar - I don't have this file and I have no idea what I am doing
[11:57] <webfarmer> they tell me I need to symlink the java plugin file
[11:58] <webfarmer> I don't know what that is
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: that will remove EVERYTHING from the current dir so bewarned

[11:58] <petur_> Hey! Im trying to install awn-extras-applets-trunk for my Avant-window-navigator
[11:58] <FloodBot1> webfarmer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:58] <webfarmer> I click on setup java for firefox and I get this page

[11:58] <webfarmer> what do I do?
[11:58] <petur_> but there is some kind of dependency problem
[11:58] <soundray> frogscott1: this is from 2006
[11:58] <Abracadabra> ActionParsnip ... doesn't rm -rf do that already ?
[11:58] <petur_> because when i try to install it, it wants to install libawn0-trunk
[11:58] <askand> Abracadabra:  the ampersands in front is used when having two commands together.. like sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade :)
[11:58] <frogscott1> yes but the function has not changed only the version
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> Abracadabra: yes and its very aggresiive, watch where you run it from
[11:59] <petur_> but if i want to install libawn0-trunk, it wants to remove avant-window-navigator
[11:59] <j1978> hi i am trying to install a cisco vpn client with vpnc i need some help please
[11:59] <Abracadabra> Askand, ActionParsnip, ok, ty :)

[11:59] <frogscott1> soundray: yes but the function has not changed only the version
[12:00] <DistroJockey> j1978, what's the problem?
[12:00] <j1978> when i try and connect i get the following prob
[12:00] <j1978> vpnc was built without openssl: Can't do hybrid or cert mode.
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> askand: id say he was warned enough :)
[12:00] <j1978> ^^^
[12:00] <j1978> i am a linux n00b btw :)
[12:01] <Bubulle> Slow gconf, affect delays opening file selectors or gnome preferences panels. Any clue or simmilar experience?
[12:01] <Rotlaus> soundray: This is NOT a modern harddisk. I habe some old drives with weird behaviour i wanna check.
[12:01] <soundray> !info smartmontools | Rotlaus
[12:01] <undef> hello
[12:02] <georgeMc> segmentation fault when apt-get install, anyone experienced this?
[12:02] <undef> has anyone installed hardy on a mini itx board via console ? (minicom)
[12:02] <Rotlaus> thnx
[12:02] <soundray> Rotlaus: is it older than 10 years?
[12:02] <soundray> *are they
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: can we see the full error please
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> !paste | georgeMc
[12:02] <Rotlaus> soundray: 5 or 6 years i guess
[12:03] <DistroJockey> j1978, what is the first line you get from the following:   vpnc --version
[12:03] <soundray> Rotlaus: then it manages its own bad blocks. You can do a badblocks check with e2fsck, but read the manpage carefully
[12:03] <j1978> 0.5.1
[12:03] <sebrock> When I run the text installer from a USB stick it complains about no CDROM. My is not equipped with one, thats why I try to install from USB stick obvioulsy. But I cant get pass this...
[12:03] <djc> !screen
[12:03] <djc> !resolution
[12:03] <j1978> DistroJockey: 0.5.1
[12:03] <djc> !colors
[12:03] <djc> !color
[12:03] <DistroJockey> j1978, and you have a config file you are passing to it?
[12:04] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: when i try for example sudo apt-get install mc i recieve something like: Reading state information... Done, Segmentation fault and that is all
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> sebrock: check your config to make sure nothing point to and cdrom stuff
[12:04] <j1978> i manually configured it, but i also have a pcf file
[12:04] <j1978> from my wins conf
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> sebrock: or create a symlink to he same files to keep it happy
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: what about sudo apt-get update
[12:04] <Rotlaus> soundray: Thnx
[12:05] <pswobble> Im trying to get Emerald theme manager to work. Right now it doesnt theme the menu bars, just the windows. Do I need beryl?
[12:05] <frogscott1> soundray any thoughts on that page? I got it all set up and Flock doesnt open
[12:05] <sebrock> ActionParsnip: problem is it still complains about missing drivers for CD-ROm
[12:05] <DistroJockey> j1978, so use a password/key rather than a certificate?
[12:05] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: i tried this, solved nothing
[12:05] <soundray> frogscott1: no
[12:05] <j1978> DistroJockey:  i have both i just dunno whats wrong
[12:05] <j1978> DistroJockey: wich is better?
[12:06] <J-_> pswobble: type alt+f2 and type, "emerald --replace
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: can you give a pastebin of the screen please
[12:06] <J-_> "
[12:06] <DistroJockey> j1978, I set up my config file from a .pcf using obfiscatedsecret
[12:06] <frogscott1> um could u do me a favor and see if it works for you soundray?
[12:06] <J-_> pswobble: no quotes. If that works, go into system>preferences>sessions and add that same thing
[12:06] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: where to paste this screen?
[12:06] <pswobble> -_ I already adjusted that in the compiz settings
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> !paste | georgeMc
[12:07] <georgeMc> !paste | georgeMc
[12:07] <j1978> DistroJockey: errm as i said i been using linux for less then 24 hours so xould you please explian further
[12:07] <j1978> could*
[12:07] <soundray> frogscott1: describe your problem to the channel again. Provide detail.
[12:07] <pswobble> So, i get a theme at boot, but it only themes the windows (and not the menu)
[12:07] <DistroJockey> j1978, second line in my config starts with:   IPSec obfuscated secret
[12:07] <frogscott1> http://brentroos.com/2006/07/24/install-flock-on-ubuntu/
[12:07] <frogscott1> I installed thusly
[12:07] <DistroJockey> j1978, 3rd line sorry^
[12:07] <j1978> ah hmm just a sec
[12:07] <soundray> frogscott1: keep it all on one line, and ask a proper question
[12:07] <frogscott1> Flock is there in my menus but it hangs and clsoes
[12:08] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38768/ is in polish locale
[12:08] <pswobble> But I dont need beryl? Just Compiz Fusion + emerald theme manager is enough
[12:08] <soundray> frogscott1: run it from a terminal and see if any errors are shown
[12:09] <frogscott1> I installed Flock browser using http://brentroos.com/2006/07/24/install-flock-on-ubuntu/ Flock is now installed but doesnt open it hangs and then closes
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: why are you running a root shell?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: are you logged in as root?
[12:09] <frogscott1> soundray Ubuntu newb command for running Flock please
[12:09] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: no, its sudo bash
[12:10] <j1978> DistroJockey: umm to edit my conf file i do pico cs-vpn.conf
[12:10] <soundray> frogscott1: flock
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: try running terminal as you and using sud apt-get update
[12:10] <j1978> 3rd line is ipsec secret
[12:10] <DistroJockey> j1978, yeah, that should work
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: you dont have to run sudo bash or any other garbage like that
[12:10] <soundray> georgeMc: use 'sudo -i' for sanity, if you can't avoid using a root shell
[12:10] <j1978> 4rh  is ike authmode
[12:10] <DistroJockey> j1978, your secret is a very long hex string right?
[12:11] <j1978> no
[12:11] <j1978> DistroJockey: its my password wich i wrote in
[12:11] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: with sudo nothing changed, still segmentation fault, also when i try sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:11] <frogscott1> soundray flock (util-linux-ng 2.13.1)
[12:11] <frogscott1> Usage: flock [-sxun][-w #] fd#
[12:11] <frogscott1>        flock [-sxon][-w #] file [-c] command...

[12:11] <DistroJockey> j1978, then it's not obfuscated
[12:11] <j1978> ok so what should i do?
[12:12] <dudeeee34> Hey guys. Um one question. My wireless only works for 10 mins. i asked this question before but no one helped.
[12:12] <dudeeee34> What do i do.
[12:12] <DistroJockey> j1978, join me in #j1978  ?

[12:12] <petur_> Hey! Im trying to install awn-extras-applets-trunk for my Avant-window-navigator
[12:12] <petur_> but there is some kind of dependency problem
[12:12] <petur_> because when i try to install it, it wants to install libawn0-trunk
[12:12] <frogscott1> soundray u get my last message?
[12:13] <Scorp_> ActionParsnip: Hey bro, is there any software for video editing ???
[12:13] <soundray> dudeeee34: did you monitor the syslog, as I suggested?
[12:13] <Peaker> hey, how come all Ubuntu machines I've used have the visual "tear effect"? (No sync to vblank)
[12:13] <narcarsiss> dudeeee34 do you have a nseries router?
[12:13] <petur_> but if i want to install libawn0-trunk, it wants to remove avant-window-navigator
[12:13] <soundray> frogscott1: yes, and I'm going to ignore you now for pasting stuff into the channel
[12:13] <dudeeee34> I have broadcom chipset and linksys router
[12:13] <Banger1> is there a quick howto for Compiz?
[12:13] <Banger1> I want to enabled lots of eye candy
[12:13] <dudeeee34> Right now im in windows.
[12:13] <Banger1> Ive just turned on 'Full' Visual effects
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> Scorp_: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg34t5.htm http://wiki.showmedo.com/index.php/Video_editing_Ubuntu
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> !compiz | Banger1
[12:14] <frogscott1> soundray u told me to show u if there were any errors how else am I suppossed to do it?
[12:14] <Banger1> ActionParsnip: Thanks.  So turning Visual Appearance to 'EXTRA' isnt the most eye candy I can turn on?
[12:15] <narcarsiss> if your rounter is N- series and your reciver card eg. pc laptop are on 54mb b/g card it will disconnect you at diff times i had about 3min to fix it befor i got booted so if you do have a N-Series router go into the config of the router and set it to b/g only
[12:15] <dudeeee34> I have linksys router
[12:15] <soundray> frogscott1: I said "see if any errors are shown". I did not say "paste stuff into the channel in violation of the code of conduct and against all common sense"
[12:15] <narcarsiss> in windows xp i had about 10sec lol
[12:15] <dudeeee34> And my laptop is built in wireless.
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> Banger1: you can get more
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> dudeeee34: run lspci and give us a pastebin of it
[12:16] <Banger1> ActionParsnip: ok thanks, because i googled "ubuntu compiz" and it said the latest version of ubuntu comes with compiz
[12:16] <georgeMc> ActionParsnip: i tried this, still, i get segmentation fault
[12:16] <narcarsiss> so your laptop is a b/g network adapter what about your router
[12:16] <dudeeee34> Im in windows right now...
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> Banger1: nope, you can install it from repos though
[12:16] <tomato> Are there suit for install two linux system in one machine
[12:17] <frogscott1> soundray sorry im new to using this I dont see any errors? one pass please?
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> dudeeee34: then run it to a file then read the ubuntu partition from windows, or use a pen and paper
[12:17] <shingen> any time I try to launch synaptic package manager, it shows a minimized window for awhile and then disappears (never runs)... how do I fix that/
[12:17] <soundray> frogscott1: what you got is actually a help message. You might benefit from reading it.
[12:18] <st_iron> hello, how can I create a virtual eth device and add an IP to it? ifconfig eth0:1 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>?
[12:18] <soundray> frogscott1: also, remember for next time you join a community as a newbie, to tread lightly and learn the rules. That way you can avoid making yourself unpopular.
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: then you could remove apt then reinstall it from your install cd
[12:19] <MaximB> what cli command gives me a list of users and an info about particular user ?
[12:19] <narcarsiss> st_iron: is this for use inside a container
[12:19] <petur_> Im trying to install awn-extras-applets-trunk, for my avant-window-navigator, but when i try to install it, there occours some kind of dependency problem. It wants to install libawn0-trunk, and if i install that, it will remove avant-window-navigator
[12:19] <AzizLight> is there a way to make a certain program launch before the others at startup?
[12:19] <petur_> whats going on?

[12:20] <st_iron> narcarsiss: I want to change my old mail server
[12:20] <soundray> MaximB: try 'finger username', or ask a bit more specifically
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> ra21vi: killed as they are owned by you and your session has dies
[12:20] <st_iron> narcarsiss: and put the old IP on the new machine
[12:20] <maek> it will be killed ra21vi unless you do a quick switch

[12:25] <third3ye> ActionParsnip, 02:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 264VT [Mach64 VT] (rev 40)
[12:25] <shingen> hwilde: this started happening all of a sudden...  out of the blue
[12:25] <shingen> hwilde: the launcher command is gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic,
[12:25] <MaximB> soundray:  it gives me a list of groups but not the members belonging to the groups , I want o know what groups does X member belong too
[12:25] <shingen> hwilde: and gksu is in my path

[12:26] <shingen> hwilde: yes, same problem, used full path for gksu (/usr/bin/gksu)
[12:26] <ra21vi> hwilde: so those progs won't be killed when i end session or logout
[12:27] <soundray> MaximB: or 'for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f 1) ; do id $i ; done'
[12:27] <MaximB> soundray:  cool , now how do I add this member to another group ?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> georgeMc: find the apt ddeb on your cd the dpkg -i <deb file>

[12:27] <soundray> MaximB: 'sudo adduser username groupname'
[12:27] <hwilde> shingen, so you just want a launcher to make synaptic?  what's wrong with System->Admin->Synaptic?
[12:27] <shingen> hwilde: besides, all I've done is right clicked on synaptic package manager from system > administration and chose to add it to panel....
[12:27] <hwilde> shingen, if you right click on that add to panel
[12:27] <shingen> hwilde: that doesn't work either
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Massiv0r: shharpe in what way?
[12:27] <shingen> hwilde: it works fine from cli... so I'm wondering wtf is wrong

[12:28] <Ziroday> ra21vi: yes, but I don't know how
[12:28] <Massiv0r> i even figured it @ kcontrol but it just like i dont have it selected,i think its xorg.conf problem with a rgb.txt

[12:29] <MaximB> soundray:  with -g it says that the user already exists but doesn't add him to another group
[12:30] <hwilde> shingen, does it work through system admin synaptic ?
[12:30] <shingen> no
[12:30] <soundray> MaximB: who said anything about -g ?
[12:30] <MaximB> without it it doesn't work
[12:30] <hwilde> shingen, well then its not going to work through your launcher duhhh
[12:30] <shingen> it works from cli
[12:30] <Massiv0r> ActionParnsip: i even found the rgb @ /etc/X11/ and copy it at the location it was searching too but it still not working
[12:30] <shingen> but it won't work through the launcher
[12:30] <shingen> same commands
[12:30] <soundray> MaximB: what's the full command you've tried?
[12:31] <narcarsiss> so if i was to copy all these files to this dir after a format reinstall the sudo apt-get update or upgrade it should install them again or would i have to cd to backup dir then dpkg -i *.deb?
[12:31] <MaximB> soundray:  I guess it's different in redhat
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Massiv0r: i cant see any differece dude
[12:31] <soundray> MaximB: you're on Red Hat?
[12:31] <MaximB> yep :(
[12:31] <shingen> hwilde: all it does is show 'starting administrative tasks' as a minimized window, and that then disappears
[12:31] <Massiv0r> ActionParnsip: The slight one has better subpixelling than the Full hinting one
[12:32] <shingen> hwilde: proc is running in the background until I kill it, but its not showing anything
[12:32] <hwilde> shingen, I dunno i've never broken my system in that manner.
[12:32] <soundray> MaximB: so you thought "oh, I'll ask for help in #ubuntu".
[12:32] <hwilde> shingen, run the updates.
[12:32] <elhoir> hello agai, i wanted to know how have i to do to view a preview frame in Ubuntu for my video files
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Massiv0r: you tried adding that line to your xorg.conf? make sure you have the file it specifies
[12:32] <Massiv0r> ActionParnsip: i tried the Live CD and it was way more smooth in Full hint than the current,which means i've made some mistake
[12:32] <lesshaste> is there a flash video player I can use to test if my video will play in flash?
[12:32] <Massiv0r> ActionParsnip: yes i did
[12:32] <shingen> hwilde: have, sudo apt-get update and upgrade works fine
[12:32] <MaximB> soundray:  well at least the basic cli commands should be the same
[12:32] <shingen> hwilde: so does aptitude from cli
[12:32] <narcarsiss> pici: you still about
[12:32] <Massiv0r> ActionParsnip: then i rebooted and still not working
[12:32] <felix_> I'v configured Ubuntu to automount my Windows NTFS partitions as discriber in the fist method here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  It works great, apart from one thing: they are all read-only. Howto fix?
[12:33] <hwilde> shingen, so reinstall synaptic
[12:33] <Pici> narcarsiss: indeedy.
[12:33] <hwilde> !fuse | felix_
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Massiv0r: im no help dude, you could check the xorg.conf on the live cd and compare it to your own.
[12:33] <hwilde> !ntfs | felix_
[12:33] <shingen> hwilde: synaptic works though from cli... just not from launchers
[12:33] <hwilde> shingen, I do not know why.
[12:33] <narcarsiss> pici: did you read my last post
[12:33] <Massiv0r> ActionParsnip: if u could see my xorg,you could find smth?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> Massiv0r: ill try
[12:34] <Pici> narcarsiss: I'd use something like aptoncd for that...
[12:34] <Pici> !aptoncd | narcarsiss
[12:34] <soundray> narcarsiss: I've tried your approach, though, and it worked
[12:34] <juro> moving from Windows to Ubuntu, what would the alternative to putty be (and where do I store my keys ...)
[12:34] <Massiv0r> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m21314522
[12:35] <soundray> juro: ssh
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> juro: which protocol do you use in putty?
[12:35] <soundray> juro: or just use putty, it's there for ubuntu as well
[12:35] <wols_> juro: ssh
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> id do as soundray says and stick with what youo know
[12:35] <narcarsiss> pici, ubottu thankyou i will lookinto it now cheers +3 armour +2 knowlage
[12:36] <Rafik> Jurkki, simply in the terminal : ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:36] <Rafik> juro , simply in the terminal : ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:36] <shingen> any time I try to launch synaptic package manager, it shows a minimized window for awhile and then disappears (never runs)... running the same thing in cli works fine.  what logs do I look at to troubleshoot gnome or x windows?
[12:36] <narcarsiss> soundray: cheers mate couldnt see y it wouldnt work but didnt want to corrupt systen attempting it
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Rafik: if tthe familiar interface can be used in ubuntu its much easier for the user
[12:37] <juro> Rafik, I doubt that will work if my server has key-authentication only
[12:37] <juro> ActionParsnip: also ssh.
[12:38] <wols_> juro: keys are stored in files
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> juro: indeed but if its been used before then config will be simpler
[12:38] <fauzie> hi ... how do I enable terminal colors? Like blue folders and green binaries .... It's all black now
[12:38] <juro> ActionParsnip: I don't mind using the command line, but I need to find out how to pass the ssh key
[12:38] <soundray> juro: it will ask for your key passphrase if you run 'ssh user@remotehost'
[12:38] <juro> soundray: only if it finds my key in the first place
[12:39] <soundray> juro: it will, though, if you've generated it in the standard way with 'ssh-keygen -t dsa'
[12:39] <wols_> juro: usually in ~/.ssh for ssh
[12:39] <wols_> and putty in files as I told you
[12:39] <wols_> soundray: on windows?
[12:39] <juro> soundray: the key was generated about 5 years ago using putty's generator
[12:40] <juro> wols_: is there any naming convention?
[12:40] <soundray> wols_: I don't know about Windows
[12:40] <wols_> juro: putty doesn't use .sshj
[12:40] <wols_> -j
[12:41] <juro> wols_, it does, if you tell it to
[12:41] <soundray> juro: it's good practice to generate a new key from time to time
[12:41] <webfarmer> I followed this tutorial
[12:41] <juro> soundray: it is good practice to tell your clients to do it or get paid for it - if not, then not
[12:42] <soundray> juro: what?
[12:42] <mmkk> @sno: alright... running Ubuntu live
[12:42] <whileimhere> Morning from the eastcoast the the USA! Hows life folks?
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> juro: when was the last time any client followed best practice
[12:42] <jimenez> can anyone help on a Broadcomm 4306 fwcutter problem?
[12:43] <juro> ActionParsnip: if they don't want to (pay for it) and you do it anyway, you'll be out of business really fast.
[12:44] <Banger1> Hi stupid question, but whats the difference between Compiz/XGL and Compiz/AIGL(?)
[12:44] <whileimhere> I am running gdmflexiserver --xnest to try to capture screenshots of my GDM themes as described on the http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GdmThemes#head-7821d0d3fff0b5fb96246b90a245f0c52d41ed56 site. It opens the nested window fine and it shows me my GDM theme but when I press the prnt screen button I do not seem to get a screen capture window or anything. Anyone know anything about this?
[12:44] <sebrock> My server does not have a CDROM drive, I try to install from USB stick but it complains about CDROM all the time... how do I get pass this?

[12:53] <ActionParsnip> !envy | Scorp_
[12:53] <Expl01ted> rexus: yeah using ALSA, NOT oss
[12:54] <soundray> Banger1: try them out, see what you like
[12:54] <rexus> using ALSA? not PulseAudio?
[12:54] <Scorp_> ActionParsnip: Thanks... like always !!
[12:54] <Expl01ted> rexus: I don't use pulse audio I have no idea.
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: looks like /sys/bus/i2c is for lmsensors
[12:54] <rexus> ok
[12:55] <_spm_Draget> Where do I find logs about the daemons starting during boot?
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Scorp_: its not supported but works for me, you gotta rerun it each time yu get a new kernel
[12:55] <Expl01ted> rexus: ALSA supports multiple audio pipes at once, OSS does not.
[12:55] <rexus> ok, I'm trying the alsa now
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> alsa is sweeeeeeeeet
[12:55] <Scorp_> ActionParsnip: Ohh, thats why.. i just updated the kernel.. So maybe that could be a reason for the screw up
[12:55] <rexus> I'm playing youtube, and now trying to play an mp3
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Scorp_: yeah, switch your gfx to something bog standard like nv for nvidia, then rerun
[12:56] <third3ye> How do I trigger the Xorg configuration window?
[12:56] <rexus> wow.. my audacious don't play any sound
[12:56] <rexus> tends to stuck
[12:56] <soundray> third3ye: 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[12:56] <Expl01ted> rexus: using ALSA if you played youtube and turned down the audio, the mp3 should play no problem
[12:56] <third3ye> The one that pops up if xorg.config is bugged
[12:56] <Scorp_> ActionParsnip: is it also the reason why compiz isnt working ???
[12:56] <Massiv0r> ActionParsnip: nothing dude

[12:57] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: The word 'lm-sensors' has several meanings. What do you mean by 'lm-sensors'?
[12:58] <rexus> Expl01ted, we can do it in windows you know
[12:58] <Massiv0r> Can somebody help me fix Anti-aliasing hinting (RGB) working correctly ?
[12:58] <Expl01ted> hence ALSA. you can't use OSS and ALSA at once.
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> vadim: hmm, id uninstall flas and head over to www.adobe.com, get the proper one
[12:58] <erUSUL> !sensors
[12:58] <_spm_Draget> Where do I find logs about the daemons starting during boot?
[12:58] <wols_> Expl01ted: but alsa can emulate oss
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: its a program, if you dont have the program you dont need the folder
[12:58] <wols_> _spm_Draget: there are no logs
[12:59] <soundray> Massiv0r: System-Preferences-Appearance-Fonts. Click on the Details button.
[12:59] <Expl01ted> wols_: I was getting to that.
[12:59] <Expl01ted> rexus: sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
[12:59] <Massiv0r> soundray: i've tried this,ain't working when i use RGB is like i use nothing
 but when installing from repos it gets the plugin from adobe isn't it?
[12:59] <Massiv0r> soundray: i think its /etc/fonts/fonts.conf problem
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> vadim: not sure but this way you can be sure
[13:00] <rexus> Expl01ted, the alsa info is helpful, at least I can listen to music while voice chatting with my friend :)
[13:00] <rexus> thanks
[13:00] <Massiv0r> soundray: could u pastebin me 2 files of urs (using full anti-aliasing and hinting) ?
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: ok try sudo modprobe ath_pci
[13:00] <Expl01ted> rexus: that allows oss to pipe its output through ALSA
[13:00] <soundray> Massiv0r: it's possible that it only takes effect after the next login
[13:00] <Kate_Mins> ActionParsnip: done
[13:00] <Expl01ted> rexus: if you must.
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: any output?

[13:01] <_spm_Draget> wols_: Hmm, can i make ubuntu log the boot somehow? Since I have a daemon at the multiuser ruinleve, but it does not start somehow.
[13:01] <Expl01ted> rexus: ^^

[13:02] <FreddyGonzo> Hi folks. What is your experience with large /home directories. I have some 280 GB free for a possible /home partition, but I am not sure if I want to create such a large partition.
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> !samba | Marlon_
[13:02] <Kate_Mins> ActionParsnip: lo - no wireless extensions , eth0 - no wireless extensions
[13:02] <soundray> Massiv0r: the user one you can just delete in a failsafe session
[13:02] <wols_> _spm_Draget: what if you start the initscript manually?
[13:02] <mzuverink> I have 5 users on my box and I would like them to all be in the same group so they have all got access to each others entire /home, how would I do that?

[13:02] <rexus> The reason I'm asking this is often times when i use PulseAudio, I have to close my firefox first after I listen to a youtube video if I want to switch to an mp3 music
[13:02] <_spm_Draget> wols_: Works without a problem. Even if I start it over SSH before anyonle logs in.
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: you may need madwifi-tools, try tab completing the name after you type mad
[13:02] <rexus> now everything is ok..
[13:03] <Expl01ted> rexus: welcome to the nice problems with pulseaudio.
[13:03] <Massiv0r> soundray: how could i reinstall,i should remove and then install?
[13:03] <narcarsiss> ipconfig exuivalent for ubuntu?
[13:03] <soundray> Massiv0r: yes, to renew the config file you should 'sudo apt-get purge fontconfig-config ; sudo apt-get install fontconfig-config'
[13:03] <soundray> narcarsiss: ifconfig

[13:04] <Expl01ted> g

[13:04] <FreddyGonzo> Expl01ted: THX. My other idea was to give /hime some 80 GB and do a /home/media Partition with 200 GB with Reiser. What would you think of that?
[13:04] <Expl01ted> lol
[13:04] <narcarsiss> lol i should of guessed
[13:04] <Kate_Mins> ActionParsnip: i cant find it , maybe i should run first the system updates (i just installed the ubuntu , still didnt make all updates)
[13:04] <rexus> Expl01ted, you are right that we cannot drive and walk... but in this case, I can stop my video and listen to mp3 without even closing the browser :)
[13:04] <Expl01ted> soundray: since when is it a competiton :P?
[13:04] <soundray> Expl01ted: is, was and will be ;)
[13:04] <Expl01ted> fine then.
[13:05] <Massiv0r> soundray: it says another process is using em
[13:05] <ra21vi> does anyone know which port Aventail Client uses to connect toVPN server
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: search for the word wifi you should find madwifi
[13:05] <Massiv0r> soundray: now works but askes me to remove em with apt-get autoremove smth
[13:05] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: better to make what you want too backup/save on one partition all in one swoop. its just simpler that way :D
[13:06] <soundray> Massiv0r: don't bother, just reinstall
[13:06] <Massiv0r> soundray: i cant
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools
[13:06] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: e.g. /home
[13:06] <aimtrainer> hi! I just created a truecryptvolume with tc 5.1a. filesystem none. then I mounted it without a mountpoint and formatted it: "sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0" and dismounted it again. But how do I mount it correctly now? "sudo truecrypt --filesystem="ext2" --fs-options="umask=0000" /dev/sda2 /media/truecrypt1/" doesn'T work
[13:06] <soundray> Massiv0r: close any synaptic or update-manager if they are running
[13:06] <Massiv0r> soundray: it's stucked saying "use "apt-get autoremove" to remove em
[13:06] <aimtrainer> I'd have asked in a truecrypt help channel but I couldn't find any
[13:06] <DistroJockey> ra21vi, Aventail, not used that in years. You trying to connect to a Cisco VPN?
[13:07] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: also , /media is a virtual file system in ubuntu.
[13:07] <Massiv0r> omg it's 1.5GB
[13:07] <Massiv0r> soundray: it's 1.5GB dude !
[13:07] <soundray> Massiv0r: don't autoremove anything
[13:07] <FreddyGonzo> Expl01ted: So you mean one large /home Partition with ext3, if I understood you well...
[13:07] <Kate_Mins> ActionParsnip: done , installed
[13:07] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: yes, less trouble that way
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: ok, reboot
[13:07] <Massiv0r> soundray: it has started removing stuff
[13:07] <Expl01ted> ReiserFS and Ext3 are equivelent, Ext3 is default
[13:07] <soundray> Massiv0r: Ctrl-C it
[13:08] <Massiv0r> soundray: now i've lost 15 files or smth
[13:08] <ra21vi> DistroJockey: I am using Aventail Connect client, so what VPN its using I don't know. But the client is showing Connection error on my ubuntu. Thats why I am trying to figure out which port it uses to connect to remote server, so I can get that open by sysadmins here, today they closed all but 3 ports
[13:08] <acp_> !info artsdsp
[13:08] <ra21vi> and then I start getting VPN error
[13:08] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: /media mounts stuff mounted by GVFS ( gnome virtual File System)
[13:08] <Kate_Mins> ActionParsnip: done (reboot)
[13:09] <narcarsiss> wifi hacking tools for ubuntu bord and want to test my wifi security

[13:10] <FreddyGonzo> Expl01ted: OK. THX. You know I grew up in a time, where we had to split a 40GB Harddisk into pieces, because of the fat32 disk allocation size... :)
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: nice system, ok run iwconfig agin
[13:10] <DistroJockey> ra21vi, and how/where did you get Aventail?
[13:10] <Kate_Mins> ActionParsnip: lo - no wireless extensions , eth0 - no wireless extensions
[13:10] <naxa> how can i put some of my ubuntu system to another partition safely? via symlink i mean, i ran out of hdd space on the original partition
[13:10] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: bang your better off with a journaling FS :P
[13:10] <ra21vi> DistroJockey: that client was working fine just 3 hrs ago... I used that for 2 months to connect
[13:10] <soundray> Massiv0r: open gedit, select everything from "REMOVED" to "0 upgraded" and paste it in the editor window
[13:10] <DistroJockey> ra21vi, ahh
[13:10] <soundray> Massiv0r: done that?
[13:11] <acp_> thanks looking in to it
[13:11] <Expl01ted> FreddyGonzo: new File Systems come with much better options including more than 40 gig splits.
[13:11] <Massiv0r> soundray: i could'nt understand that

[13:17] <DistroJockey> TheOriginalRippe, pretty sure it's this one (but I don't do 64bit)

[13:18] <negge> I need some help with Samba. I'm trying to mount a Windows share that's on a W2K server. I can access the files with smbclient //server -U username (after entering my password), but no matter how I try to mount it I get an mount.cifs error 20: Not a directory
[13:18] <miki> danke
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Kate_Mins: definately, updates may fix it
[13:18] <Pici> negge: You need to specify a share after the servername, //server/share
[13:18] <Massiv0r> soundray: i can't cd to /home/(username)
[13:18] <soundray> Massiv0r: just do a 'cd ; ls templist'. It should respond with 'templist'
[13:18] <ra21vi> ok, someone please help me configure my machine, (windows and ubuntu machine) so I can access the X-Server and graphics of remote Ubuntu server on my windows desktop
[13:18] <shisiho> ActionParsnip: i used to use net at my ubuntu earlier and now i cant even browse yahoo
[13:18] <TheOriginalRippe> im trying to get windows games to run via wine but i dont know which 32bit repositries i need for them to work
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> !samba | negge
[13:18] <CorpusCallosum> hi i have a problem about compiz, i cannot change the number of desktop from ccsm how can i fix it ?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> shisiho: wired or wireless?
[13:19] <shisiho> ActionParsnip: wired
[13:19] <Massiv0r> soundray: i did it says "templist"
[13:19] <shisiho> ActionParsnip: btw, how can u restore my early settings? like windows system restore
[13:19] <ra21vi> I am hopeless about it, how can I access the X on my ubuntu to my windows xp machine
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> shisiho: not without a backup
[13:20] <Massiv0r> soundray: then?
[13:20] <soundray> Massiv0r: good. Now enter this command:      cat templist | xargs sudo apt-get -y install
[13:20] <strike> does anyone have experience with offline ubuntu installs? is downloading the medibuntu debs a good way to add flv and maybe wmv support to a pc with no internet connection?
[13:20] <Massiv0r> soundray: cat templist | xargs sudo apt-get -y install
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> shisiho: you can default user settings by renaming folders in ~/
[13:20] <shisiho> ActionParsnip: damn :S im in a big trouble, its kinda freaky how i cant use internet at my ubuntu
[13:20] <Massiv0r> soundray: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. *
[13:21] <shisiho> ActionParsnip: how?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> shisiho: if you run lspci you will see what your wired connection is. technicaly the live cd is no different to the installed
[13:21] <soundray> Massiv0r: okay, so 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and let it do its thing.
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> shisiho: cd ~/; ls -a
[13:21] <Massiv0r> soundray: ok i fixed it
[13:21] <oldenslacker> this should be short and sweet... ubuntu 8.04 lts is a live CD... ie no install or partitioning of drives required?
[13:21] <soundray> Massiv0r: hold on a second
[13:21] <miki> ActionParsnip: i can't find anywhere in fstab to change to ntfs-3g, can i post u in private so you can see what I see in etc/fstab?
[13:22] <DistroJockey> !wine | TheOriginalRippe, you may need to ask in  #winehq  and check:
[13:22] <ajitam> hi where can I find disc witch are not mounted ?
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> shisiho: rename whatever folders equate to your apps (like .mozilla) and that app will get stock settings when you rerun it
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ajitam: run mount ono its own
[13:22] <TheOriginalRippe> aha ok ty
[13:22] <Massiv0r> soundray: then?
[13:22] <DistroJockey> TheOriginalRippe, np
[13:22] <soundray> Massiv0r:   cat templist | xargs sudo apt-get -y install
[13:22] <xukun> hi all. How can I move a one big file around 20 GB from one ubuntu system to the other?
[13:23] <miki> xukun: drag/drop?
[13:23] <soundray> Massiv0r: for most packages, it will say "is already the newest version"
[13:23] <ra21vi> proint something, what should I use to connect to the remote Ubuntu X
[13:23] <ra21vi> from windows machine
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> xukun: over lan
[13:23] <Massiv0r> soundray: it says note it was selected the ******
[13:23] <Massiv0r> soundray: for every file
[13:24] <xukun> Accensi0n, yes its net worked
[13:24] <Massiv0r> soundray: for the last ones it says are incompatible with n crap
[13:24] <xukun> ActionParsnip,  yes its net worked
[13:24] <Massiv0r> soundray: i think i'll have to reformat :/
[13:24] <soundray> Massiv0r: no, I don't think so
[13:24] <soundray> Massiv0r: it went through the entire list, yes?
[13:25] <miki> how do I set ntfs to ntfs-3g if can't find it in etc/fstab?
[13:25] <Massiv0r> soundray: yes
[13:25] <soundray> Massiv0r: okay, then you're back to normal
[13:25] <dave_> hi guys..!
[13:25] <Wickk> Is it possible for me to format a slave drive from within Ubuntu or do I have to use a partition manager?
[13:25] <soundray> Massiv0r: sorry about this detour, I should have thought about the dependencies
[13:25] <Massiv0r> soundray: no cause the programs it uninstalled aren't able to be used by terminal
[13:25] <DistroJockey> !vnc | ra21vi
[13:25] <negge> must be some nasty bug in mount.cifs, I just tried to mount this Samba share and got a segmentation fault and it took 3 or 4 reboots before I got the server back up
[13:26] <soundray> Massiv0r: like which one for example?
[13:26] <sub-esc> i'm trying to log into my box and the password keeps coming back as invalid. i KNOW it's the right password. what do I do?
[13:26] <Massiv0r> soundray: ehmm abiword,akregator and some others i forgot
[13:26] <adityaduggal> can any one help with my Broadcom wireless card on COMPAQ 6515B notebook for UBUNTU
[13:26] <soundray> Massiv0r: what happens when you 'sudo apt-get install abiword'?
[13:26] <Enigma> is it possible to switch from debian to ubuntu without reinstalling=
[13:27] <Massiv0r> soundray: works but i've lost like 20 programs i forgot about
[13:27] <soundray> Enigma: no
[13:27] <Enigma> soundray: no .. or NO!
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Enigma: no
[13:27] <capablan> helpme, i need install smalltalk, in Ubuntu 8.04, please help!
[13:27] <soundray> Massiv0r: they will all be in templist
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Enigma: id back all the important conf files up though ;) (e.g. smb.conf)
[13:28] <soundray> Enigma: you can try, but it will be such a mess that you'll wish you had done a fresh install
[13:28] <Massiv0r> soundray: oh the first ones?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> !smalltalk | capablan
[13:28] <soundray> Massiv0r: yes
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> !info smalltalk
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> capablan: whats smalltalk do?
[13:28] <Massiv0r> soundray: how can we learn where it has stopped?
[13:28] <capablan> 7.2
[13:29] <soundray> Massiv0r: run 'apt-get install' on the first 20 or 30, and when it says "is already the newest version", then it's done
[13:29] <Pici> !msgthebot > ActionParsnip
[13:29] <capablan> i not  speak good english
[13:29] <capablan> ok
[13:29] <prince_jammys> capablan: install gnu-smalltalk
[13:30] <miki> REPOSTING problem: I'm saving all my files to  NTFS partiton. All the movies I DL in one peace I can watch but if I shut the Ktorrent down and start it all over again is starts DL-ing from 0% again. I have ntfs-3g latest version, but can't find where to change it from ntfs to ntfs-3g, dunno in /etc/fstab/
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> capablan: i asked you what smalltalk is or was
[13:30] <ra21vi> wow, that was not a good solution
[13:30] <prince_jammys> it's a programming language
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> capablan: maybe i can find an alternative or walkthrough
[13:30] <capablan> ok
[13:30] <soundray> Massiv0r: I would like to see the templist. Could you put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[13:30] <ra21vi> anyway, where is the tns file which is used by sqlplus, i could not find it *anyone* knows?
[13:31] <negge> Pici: I did that
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> miki: you need to modify /etc/fstab with root access and reboot, the ntfs partition isnt writable so you are viewing only the temporary storage of stuff
[13:31] <wols_> ra21vi: try "find" on your disk
[13:31] <Massiv0r> soundray: lol i cant enter sites
[13:31] <Massiv0r> soundray: it gives an error
[13:31] <Massiv0r>   abiword* akregator* alacarte* amor* anjuta* apport-gtk* apturl* ark* arts*

[13:31] <negge> Pici: the exact line in fstab is:
[13:31] <negge> Pici: the exact line in fstab is: 15:31 -!- mode/#ubuntu [+zb %Massiv0r!*@*] by FloodBot1
[13:31] <negge> what the
[13:31] <Pici> negge: I hope not
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> miki: i use ktorrent to an ntfs partitionn and use ntfs-3g ine
[13:32] <negge> Pici: :d
[13:32] <miki> ActionParsnip: could you please write the command which I have to put in
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> miki: give me your fstab
[13:32] <ra21vi> wols_ : i did find -name tns* but there is none, so I need to create one. If i can get the place where sqlplus seeks it, i will put one there
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> !paste | miki
[13:32] <negge> Pici: the line is: //termonova-file/shared /media/Backup cifs credentials=/etc/credentials 0 0
[13:32] <capablan> sorry, i need install visualworks 7.2
[13:32] <negge> Pici: I can mount other computers shares but not this one, although I can connect to this one via smbclient, but not the other ones
[13:32] <negge> it's completely weird
[13:33] <Massiv0r> sorry but i couldnt enter even at pastebin cause i made a mistake
[13:33] <Massiv0r> soundray: i'll certainly need reformat
[13:33] <Massiv0r> soundray: :/
[13:33] <soundray> Massiv0r: try this command please:    head -n 10 templist | tr -d '*' | xargs sudo apt-get -y install
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> !paste > miki
[13:34] <Massiv0r> soundray: works
[13:34] <Pici> negge: That is indeed weird.
[13:34] <Massiv0r> soundray: but it fixes all or the 10 first?
[13:35] <soundray> Massiv0r: it fixed the 40 or so that were contained in the first ten lines. Just do a 'head -n 10 templist' to see which ones
[13:35] <dmizer> is it possible to create an ssh vpn connection without enabling the root account?
[13:35] <Massiv0r> soundray: just to be sure,can we try to do this with all?
[13:36] <wols_> dmizer: ssh vpn?
[13:36] <dmizer> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN
[13:36] <Expl01ted> welp time for that thing we humans call sleep.
[13:36] <Expl01ted> haha
[13:36] <wols_> `you can do a portforward, yes. that's not really a VPN and it'S doable without root privs
[13:36] <soundray> Massiv0r: yes. Are you fairly sure that templist contains nothing but package names?
[13:36] <Expl01ted> consider yourself Expl01ted!
[13:36] <Massiv0r> soundray: yes and after each one contains one "*"
[13:36] <sub-esc> when i try to log in I get an "authentication failed" pop up. how do I resolve this problem?
[13:36] <soundray> Massiv0r: okay
[13:37] <Massiv0r> soundray: it installed some programs but i think we should try for all
[13:37] <Pici> Expl01ted: Do you hav a support question? If not, #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.
[13:37] <wols_> dmizer: no. interfaces can only be manipulated or made by root
[13:37] <Massiv0r> soundray: just to be sure
[13:37] <soundray> Massiv0r: try:  cat templist | tr -d '*' | xargs sudo apt-get -y install
[13:37] <dmizer> wols_: thank you.
[13:37] <kered> hi all....
[13:37] <wols_> dmizer: a single portforward can be done over ssh however
[13:37] <wols_> without root
[13:37] <kered> i am thinking of ditching windows with my new pc that i am building and using ubuntu.  can i ask a few quiestns first?
[13:37] <Massiv0r> soundray: thats for all right?
[13:37] <wols_> !ask  | kered
[13:38] <soundray> Massiv0r: yes
[13:38] <dmizer> wols_: i am aware of this, i'm looking for a vpn solution to isolate a portion of my network.
[13:38] <kered> how do i know that all my hardware will work woth ubuntu for sure?
[13:38] <histo> kered: boo the live cd and see
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | kered
[13:38] <Massiv0r> soundray: lol fixed everything
[13:38] <histo> kered: The standard desktop install is the live cd. Also keep in mind if your hardware doesn't work out of the box or with the live cd. It still may be supported.
[13:38] <Massiv0r> soundray: if these were Windows i would definately need Format :D
[13:38] <soundray> Massiv0r: phew. I could tell you were getting nervous ;)
[13:39] <kered> i loce to play counter strike battlefield  series and i use adoble lightroom and photoshop CS3.  can i use those in ubuntu?
[13:39] <Massiv0r> soundray: nah i was already planning format to fix the Fonts sh*t cause i dont see it able to work :P
[13:39] <kered> **love
[13:39] <z_> b43-fwcutter - do i need this?
[13:39] <wols_> kered: find out what chips, not just hardware names you use
[13:39] <histo> kered: Counter strike yes battlefield 2 sucks in wine. and There are ways to make photoshop work. But you should look at some of the open source alternatives.
[13:39] <wols_> kered: what PC is it? laptop or desktop?
[13:39] <soundray> Massiv0r: okay, if you think so... is it really that bad
[13:39] <soundray> ?
[13:39] <Pici> kered: You may be able to use some of those under Wine, but there are no native versions of those applications,.
[13:40] <kered> what is a god open source alt to photoshop and lightroom?
[13:40] <Massiv0r> soundray: actually i love smooth fonts and i can't stand non - anti-aliasing or none full hinted fonts :D
[13:40] <kered> does a website list all the games wine will play? and are they easy to install?
[13:40] <sub-esc> I get an "authentication failed" error with I try logging in. How can I get logged in?
[13:40] <Pici> kered: Gimp, rawstudio
[13:40] <prince_jammys> !winehq | kered
[13:40] <histo> Anyone use gmail-notify?  I have issues with it displaying int he bottom right corner. I'd like it to display like a normal notification area app.
[13:40] <davide> \list
[13:40] <dmizer> z_: do you have a broadcom chipset?
[13:40] <Massiv0r> soundray: if u could help me configure rgb n stuff and worked i would be very thankful.
[13:40] <histo> kered: appdb.winehq.org
[13:40] <Gin> hi, is there an option that can hide some of the system tray icons like in Windows?
[13:41] <histo> Gin: well you can remove the notification area
[13:41] <Massiv0r> soundray: the problem is only on "RGB" hinting
[13:41] <z_> kered: on www.winehq.org, there is a list of supported games and programs, with comments
[13:41] <kered> i have not used linux since mandrake. is ubunu easier?
[13:41] <soundray> Massiv0r: are you sure that what you want to achieve is even possible? I think some of the techniques you get with e.g. Mac OS X are patented, and therefore not used by Ubuntu
[13:41] <Teisei> I use Ubuntu and I'm happy with it
[13:41] <histo> kered: Well the support is what is nice about ubuntu. and the packaging system of apt.
[13:41] <histo> !best | kered
[13:41] <Cripps> I was at work yesterday, listening to some tunes on Amarok, and this morning when I came in and fired up amarok and hit play, I got "Audio output unavailable; the device is busy."  ... I tried running "/etc/init.d/alasa-utils restart" and I continue to get the same message. Firefox has been restarted since then, so I know that it's not hogging the sound server. Any ideas as to how I can find the culprit and/or prevent this from happening?
[13:41] <Gin> histo, I want it there, but they are taking too much room from the panel leaving less room for the taskbar
[13:42] <z_> kered: do not install version 0.9.59 for games - only some of last versions, searcch for .deb on www.winehq.org
[13:42] <soundray> kered: I'd say ubuntu is easier to administer than Mandrake
[13:42] <histo> Gin: well you can put them on the lower panel or create a new panel?
[13:42] <z_> dmizer: no
[13:42] <Gin> histo, I only want 1 panel
[13:42] <dmizer> z_: then you do not need b43-fwcutter
[13:43] <histo> Gin: ahh. The other option is a dock at the bottom similiar to the macs
[13:43] <Gin> histo, the doc does not have a notification area :\
[13:43] <histo> Gin: but as far as I know there is no easy way to remove certain ones.  I guesss you could try playing around with skip pager options or someting in compiz or devilspie
[13:44] <naxa> hi! on my desktop, when i connect a new hdd, the icons often get on each other! How can i make my desktop automatically avoid this and keep some order on the desktop? Right clicking and selecting "keep my desktop in order" won't help.
[13:44] <oldenslacker> Is there an 8.04 LTS Live iso availabe?
[13:45] <Pici> oldenslacker: Yes, the Desktop CD is a Live CD
[13:45] <soundray> Massiv0r: have you seen the .fonts.conf at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts ?
[13:45] <eop> Can anyone here recommend a good, modern motherboard with LGA775 socket, DDR2 or DDR3, that works well with Ubuntu? (costs are irrelevant)
[13:45] <kered> shoot my motherboard is NOT listed. that sucks
[13:45] <soundray> kered: try the live CD. I predict that it will work just fine
[13:45] <wols_> kered: what chipset?
[13:46] <oldenslacker> Pici: Thx... I must be doing something wrong. When istalling, I see partitioner started up... when that happens I ctrl-alt-del... I need to know what the partitioner is goig to do to my drives?
[13:46] <kered> hold on. let me check, i just ordered it
[13:46] <wols_> kered: board brandnames are rarely important. chips are
[13:46] <wols_> eop: #hardware
[13:46] <Pici> oldenslacker: Isnt there a manual paritioning option?
[13:47] <wols_> eop: anything but P45 or G45 will work. *45 boards only with intrepid kernels
[13:47] <z_> dmizer: a question: is there a way to connect wi-fi laptop to bluetooth cell phone without bluetooth adapter. Words about formats are beautiful words, but all this is ajust a radio...
[13:47] <wols_> z_: does your phone have wifi
[13:47] <wols_> ?
[13:47] <B|ackPanther> how can i restore the default key layout ?Clearing the /.Xmodmap does not work .
[13:47] <kered> this is my MB   http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=P450-9110
[13:47] <eop> wols_: I was there already, they sent me here. So I can't use P45 chipsets? :(
[13:47] <wols_> !keyboard | B|ackPanther
[13:47] <z_> no
[13:47] <z_> but..?
[13:48] <kered> nvidia Nforce360i mp
[13:48] <wols_> eop: not yet. well you can, but intrepid kernels only...
[13:48] <kered> **mcp
[13:48] <Massiv0r> soundray: no cause with Live CD when i use same fonts and rgb full hinting looks perfect and here like rgb ain't selected but unfortunately it is !
[13:48] <Pici> z_: No, there is no way to do what you are asking.
[13:48] <dmizer> z_: wifi and bluetooth are different frequencies and protocols.  there's no crossover.
[13:48] <z_> ok
[13:48] <oldenslacker> Pici: not that I had seen.  I panic when I see any partition /fdisk fucntion startup on a bootable cd :)
[13:48] <wols_> kered: supported
[13:48] <kered> NICE
[13:48] <z_> ok, but it definately could be... in a parralel universe
[13:48] <soundray> Massiv0r: I see. Have you tried copying the live CD font config to your installed system?
[13:48] <yaron> yaron
[13:48] <hrr4> z_: still no :(
[13:49] <Massiv0r> soundray: the /etc/fonts yes
[13:49] <yaron> yess
[13:49] <kered> and is my vc also? its a 8800gt
[13:49] <dmizer> z_: and it would be called "wi-tooth" ;(
[13:49] <B|ackPanther> wols,i remapped the keys so i want to restore the default mapping.
[13:49] <hrr4> dmizer: blufi
[13:49] <wols_> kered: yes. for 3D you need nvidia drivers which you need to install manually from ubuntu repos
[13:49] <yaron><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:49] <kered> NICE
[13:49] <kered> thansk guys..,i cant wait to install it
[13:49] <wols_> B|ackPanther: IIRC you have to restart X but not sure
[13:49] <Massiv0r> soundray: and nothing changed only when i for example open kcontrol writes this before: Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 1: syntax error

[14:19] <Myrtti> sushiX: best depends on your needs.
[14:19] <Massiv0r> soundray: sorry,we all have the same thought i dont figure out whats the problem
[14:19] <Myrtti> sushiX: also, we can read without caps
[14:19] <soundray> cppmonkey: boot in recovery mode, check your username with 'ls /home' and reset your password with 'passwd yourusername'
[14:19] <sushiX> which is the best to run ubuntu without driver problems
[14:19] <Pelo> morning folks,  I need the exact english wording for the "application not responding" popup warning, so I can do a forum search ,  anyone remember ?  app not responding, app doesn't respond,  app isn'T respsonding ?
[14:19] <icedwater> Not sure how to make my system load more quickly. Been a bit sluggish lately, and I don't quite know what I did wrong to get this.
[14:20] <EugenMayer> are any problems known with a newer package broken the ad-hoc mode? i cannot connect to adhoc networks anymore
[14:20] <eross> !programming
[14:20] <nosklo> hi all, I need to install apache but I dont want it to run by default, only when I start it manually, what is the best method to change autostart behavior?
[14:20] <icedwater> Pelo: probably you can try just 'not responding' and there should be enough options for you to choose one
[14:20] <michelino> !wireless
[14:20] <icedwater> !metacity

[14:20] <sushiX> which is the best ASUS EEEPC or Aspire ONE or MSI WIND to run ubuntu without driver problem
[14:21] <Valentine> i am unable to install my samsung lp56pt modem at ubuntu 8.04
[14:21] <Slart> nosklo: you can set apache to only run a limited amount of processes and increase that if it's actually working.. if you don't find how to only start it when you want to that might be one solution
[14:21] <icedwater> sushiX: don't consider my words as lore, but I've heard of custom Ubuntu distributions for the Eee.
[14:21] <Gnea> !modem | Valentine
[14:21] <soundray> sushiX: the Eee PC is fine once you've installed the kernel from array.org
[14:21] <Cheery> what a channel..
[14:21] <Slart> !eeepc
[14:22] <icedwater> Slart: regarding apache, is there any way to reduce the number of processes it starts?
[14:22] <Gnea> !hi | Cheery
[14:22] <Cheery> hey, I'd like to know what differences there are on the server edition and desktop edition?
[14:22] <robelliott2125> dmizer, i think i'm just going to do a clean reinstall, but going for Hardy directly, rather than going for gutsy
[14:22] <Slart> icedwater: yes.. in the config file you can set number of processes and threads
[14:22] <damien> whats good software for ubuntu for burning dvd movies ,
[14:22] <damien> ??
[14:22] <dmizer> robelliott2125: unfortunately ... it looks like that's your best option.
[14:22] <Slart> !burn | damien
[14:22] <nosklo> Slart: The problem is that I wont be using apache for days, and it will be consuming memory and boot time, so I want just not to start it ever.
[14:22] <Slart> damien: or you mean converting regular avi's and such to dvd's? in that case use Devede
[14:22] <robelliott2125> Yeah, probably the easiest...  I just hope that I haven't lost my /home files :(
[14:23] <rtp34783> Cheery: different package selection. the server version installs no X window system for example.
[14:23] <soundray> Cheery: the server edition has no GUI. If you're unsure, get the desktop. There is nothing that server can do that desktop can't.
[14:23] <dmizer> robelliott2125: are they on a separate partition?
[14:23] <_Zeus_> Slart: try !burn > damien
[14:23] <robelliott2125> Yes dmizer...
[14:23] <Valentine> yes Modem and Phone GPRS. dial up but i am a simple user i cant understand what they say its all commands :(
[14:23] <robelliott2125> I'm just wondering if i should try Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu.
[14:23] <Gnea> Valentine: then you'll need to explain your problem a bit more.
[14:23] <dmizer> robelliott2125: then you shouldn't lose any data as long as you don't overwrite the /home partition.
[14:23] <Slart> nosklo: I'm not sure if you'll actually notice apache if you limit it... but you can always stop it with "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop"
[14:24] <Slart> !boot > nosklo
[14:24] <damien> i just want to backup some of my good dvds to blanks so if any of my friends want to borrow my movies it wont matter if they scratch the disk
[14:24] <Massiv0r> soundray: can u explain me why everytime i open kcontrol appears this? Fontconfig warning: "~/.fonts.conf", line 517: saw number, expected matrix
[14:24] <Massiv0r> Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf", line 17: invalid constant used : legacy
[14:24] <robelliott2125> I'm not planning on it dmizer, just annoyed i shutdown.  Its one of those petty things which turns out to be worse afterwards
[14:24] <icedwater> !boot > icedwater
[14:24] <robelliott2125> Anyway, thank you for your help dmizer
[14:24] <Slart> damien: ah.. some kind of dvd copy..I think k9 can do that
[14:24] <dmizer> robelliott2125: no problem, better luck next time.
[14:24] <soundray> Massiv0r: no, I'm not familiar with font.conf syntax. Please don't paste stuff here.
[14:24] <Slart> !info k9 | damien
[14:24] <Valentine> wewkz here alot of chatters i cant readd all messages i will come on holiday so can chat and get support easily :-s
[14:25] <dmizer> robelliott2125: here's a good howto for restoring your home partition http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[14:25] <damien> oh ok
[14:25] <soundray> !info k9copy
[14:25] <_Zeus_> Slart: !info k9 > damien
[14:25] <damien> im using ubuntu , 8.0.4
[14:25] <_Zeus_> it's not | it's >
[14:25] <Gnea> Valentine: the chat will always be full in here, there's no avoiding that.
[14:25] <Cheery> soundray and rtp34783 thank you. I'll go download the desktop edition
[14:25] <soundray> _Zeus_: they both have their place
[14:25] <damien> i cant find K9copy
[14:25] <damien> where would i look
[14:26] <soundray> damien: spell it with a lowercase k
[14:26] <Slart> _Zeus_: > sends a pm, | just tells the person in the channel
[14:26] <damien> im still only learning about ubuntu , im used to Vista
[14:26] <_Zeus_> oh oops now i feel stupid
[14:26] <_Zeus_> :-(
[14:26] <Massiv0r> soundray: i wanna try reinstalling nvidia setup,could u help me do that please?
[14:26] <Massiv0r> soundray: maybe thats the problem
[14:26] <Pici> damien: Where are you looking for it?
[14:26] <Valentine> ok Gnes tell me how to install a undetected modem on ubuntu?
[14:26] <Slart> damien: linux is case sensitive in almost everything.. filenames, programs etc
[14:26] <soundray> Massiv0r: no, sorry, I'm leaving in a minute
[14:26] <damien> the web ( google )
[14:27] <Massiv0r> soundray: ok thanks for ur help buddy ! =)
[14:27] <soundray> damien: just 'sudo apt-get install k9copy'
[14:27] <Pici> damien: Use Applications>Add/Remove or soundray's suggestion
[14:27] <_Zeus_> from a terminal
[14:27] <Massiv0r> Could someone give me a command to re-install nvidia drivers ?
[14:27] <wols_> !nvidia | Massiv0r
[14:27] <Pici> !software > damien
[14:27] <damien> do i do that command in terminal >?
[14:27] <wols_> Valentine: you can't. either lsusb or lspci needs to detect it
[14:27] <Gnea> Valentine: You will need to tell me what you've tried so far, with some detail please.
[14:28] <Valentine> @wols what are those?
[14:28] <wols_> Valentine: commands
[14:28] <Gnea> Valentine: they are commands that are typed at the commandline terminal
[14:28] <florian_> Hi! I have a hercules dualpix 2 webcam. Is it possible to use this cam with ubuntu? lsusb says "ID 06f8:3003 Guillemot Corp."
[14:28] <Slart> damien: "sudo apt-get install k9copy" would do the same as opening synaptic, searching for "k9copy", checking the install checkbox and clicking OK.. two ways of doing the same thing
[14:28] <Valentine> i am a simple user of age 17 from pakistan english bad dont know much about computers so tell in easy steps
[14:28] <wols_> !webcam | florian_
[14:28] <icedwater> !webcam > icedwater
[14:28] <Gnea> Valentine: Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[14:28] <Slart> damien: but yes.. you type the apt-get line in a terminal
[14:29] <itai-michaelson> hi, i dont want ubuntu to fsck my windows partition on boot, am i correct in assuming that i need to change the last digit to zero on that partition entry in fstab?
[14:29] <sub-esc> wols_: thank you for your help earlier with that login problem. i'm at the point where I'm just going to reinstall
[14:29] <Valentine> @wols @gnes oh ok thanks thank u thank u :d gota go to try those commans
[14:29] <florian_> Thanks!
[14:29] <Gnea> Valentine: sorry, but we don't descriminate in here.
[14:29] <damien> after typing that then what do i type ??
[14:29] <_Zeus_> itai-michaelson: quite right
[14:29] <Slart> itai-michaelson: that sounds correct
[14:30] <Slart> itai-michaelson: not sure if it's the last or the second to last.. but the man page will tell you that for sure
[14:30] <wols_> damien: nothing. you run k9copy
[14:30] <soundray> itai-michaelson: yes, correct
[14:30] <soundray> itai-michaelson: 'man fstab' documents it
[14:31] <itai-michaelson> thank you all, read the man but still wanted to make sure....
[14:31] <damien> what is the full command line i type in terminal to get K9copy?
[14:31] <wols_> damien: you've already been told several times
[14:31] <Pici> damien: sudo apt-get install k9copy
[14:31] <damien> thanks
[14:31] <damien> its just taking Abit to work it all out
[14:32] <renato__> hi, I have a problem, my boostra procedure aborts because rc-default tells me it cannot find /bin/sh. previously the error was "access denied" and I did boot from the live cd and changed the permission from rw-r--r-- to rwxrwxrwx is there something else / different I need to do?
[14:32] <histo> !usernames | damien
[14:32] <wols_> renato__: did you chroot when you booted from live cd?
[14:32] <renato__> no
[14:32] <unop> renato__, is /bin in the PATH variable?
[14:32] <wols_> renato__: then you#d change live cd settings and not your disk ones
[14:32] <Valentine> hello another problem i dont have sounds in my ubuntu
[14:32] <renato__> I could not cheroot as I had no access to /bin/sh and neither /bin/bash
[14:33] <histo> !sound > Valentine
[14:33] <gr3y5t0ne> hi
[14:33] <_Zeus_> hi
[14:33] <renato__> no, I did mount the hd filesystem and made sure I changed the version on the hd
[14:33] <wols_> renato__: rc-update only changes /etc. and that is on the live cd
[14:33] <renato__> and indeed something changed, previously I was told "permission denied" and now "it is not there"
[14:33] <wols_> renato__: "mount"
[14:34] <renato__> let me explain again:
[14:34] <ce_jomblo_17> Ana
[14:34] <Valentine> yes there were auto auto i selected Alsa
[14:35] <wols_> renato__: well?
[14:36] <hb> is it possible to configure grub to load a root that is not on hd(0,0) in 8.04.1?
[14:36] <_Zeus_> hb: yes
[14:36] <wols_> hb: of course
[14:36] <renato__> I had a system, prevuiously working. One day I realize I cannot access it. I get to the system, I try to reboot it. it does not, it tells me it cannot execute/bin/sh. I see the /bin/sh priviledges (the one on the HD I have mounted in the meantime) they are rw-r--r--, I changed them in rwxrwxrwx then I try to reboot and I am told the /bin/sh file does not exist (but it is there) so I am left wondering what to do
[14:36] <hb> well then I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong then.
[14:36] <_Zeus_> i believe you need to use the "map" command in GRUB
[14:36] <hb> map?
[14:36] <_Zeus_> lemme find a guide
[14:37] <wols_> renato__: /bin/sh is only a symlink. check the file it maps to. and ask yourself why your permissions are all wrong
[14:37] <wols_> renato__: setting perms to 777 for binaries is a very bad thing to do. use 755 and check owners too
[14:37] <wols_> _Zeus_: no you don't
[14:37] <hb> menu.lst has the drives listed correct. hell the root is listed by uuid.  but grub refuses to boot off of anything but /dev/sda.  sda is not my boot device, infact it's a disk in a softRAID0
[14:37] <wols_> hb: what do you want to mount from that other hd?
[14:38] <renato__> I put them like they are in my desktop system, and they were rwxrwxrwx owner root:root, I set them the same way
[14:38] <wols_> hb: is your kernel on a raid?
[14:38] <_Zeus_> wols_: he wants to boot to the other hard drive
[14:38] <wols_> _Zeus_: and map is not the way to do it
[14:38] <wols_> setting the proper hdx,x command is
[14:38] <hb> wols_: I'm using the general kernel supplied in the 8.04.1 alternate image.  because it has support of the md and device mapper drivers I can only assume that's a yes.
[14:39] <wols_> hb: your grub is not the kernel. so support for md in the kernel is irrelevant
[14:39] <hb> wols_, sorry i read your question wrong
[14:39] <wols_> grub is needed to actually load the kernel. answer my question
[14:39] <wols_> hb: also, pastebin your menu.lst
[14:40] <hb> wols_, no the kernel is not on the raid, the kernel is on ide1 (but being identified as /dev/sdc)
[14:40] <cppmonkey> soundray I did all that and its still not letting me in, the username is right and I typed the password out exactly the same, it still wont let me login :@
[14:40] <wols_> cppmonkey: ctrl+alt+f1 and try to login there. check your capslock and numlock keys
[14:40] <hb> wols_, that's not gonna be possible atm.  the system hasn't gotten out of the install setup.  unless I load the kernel on /dev/sda (with the drives out of rad) it won't even boot. it just returns error 15
[14:41] <wols_> you have a livecd. so you can pastebin the content of menu.lst
[14:41] <hb> wols_, how?
[14:41] <cens0red> hi. Ubuntu 8.04, + jack sound server + tascam us-122 audio interface causes my system to freeze completely. Didn't used to. Anyone have any idea how I can diagnose this problem?
[14:41] <wols_> you don't need to boot from the machine to get the menu.lst
[14:41] <wangor> sorry, i've just reinstalled ati drivers to the nvidia-glx-new and my screen goes blank after I reboot and I can't do anything (i'm on alt+f1 now) - how can I get back to old drivers ?
[14:41] <cppmonkey> wols, both are off, I do have capitals in the password but I use shift. Ill just give the ctrl+alt+f1 now
[14:41] <wols_> if your /boot is not in raid, simply mount the partition
[14:42] <wols_> then check grub/menu.lst
[14:42] <hb> wols_, I know how to read the men.lst.  that's not the problem
[14:42] <wols_> wangor: reinstall them
[14:42] <wols_> hb: it is if it says hd0,0
[14:42] <hb> it does say 0,0
[14:43] <cygoku> !html | cygoku
[14:43] <wols_> hb: speak to me again when you can do what I asked you. goodbye
[14:43] <hb> but even with /dev/sdc idented as root(hd2,0) it still wont boot.
[14:43] <jordi_> hola
[14:43] <wols_> hb: device.map too of course
[14:43] <cppmonkey> wols_, still now joy :s
[14:44] <hb> I didn't think of the map...
[14:44] <wols_> cppmonkey: error messages?
[14:44] <hb> however, if that doesn't work, how do I pastebin from the installcd?  just copy line by line?  that seems error prone.
[14:44] <wols_> install pastebinit
[14:44] <wols_> and the live cd has a full X
[14:45] <hb> wols_ not the alternate.  the standard ed. doesn't have a kernel with the md driver
[14:45] <wols_> for the last time: you said your /boot was not on a raid
[14:46] <hb> It's not.
[14:46] <wols_> do it. THEN come back.
[14:46] <babo> guys, i want to read a AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file
[14:46] <babo> how can i do that ?
[14:47] <_Zeus_> what is AppleDouble?
[14:47] <dorito> is there anyway to solve the flash crashing
[14:47] <dorito> on firefox?
[14:47] <dorito> and I mean definitely
[14:47] <dabbu> !html
[14:47] <babo> maybe unbin
[14:47] <babo> dorito, what os are you using ?
[14:47] <dorito> ubuntu
[14:47] <dorito> 8.04
[14:48] <babo> there's a persistent flash issue with Linux ...
[14:48] <allu1> synapic says that i don't have administrative rights even tought iam only user in this computer how do i fix it so i could download pacages
[14:48] <babo> that's never been cleaned up. mostly cause Adobe are w**kers ...
[14:48] <cppmonkey> wols_, no visable error message
[14:48] <unop> babo, please don't swear here. thanks
[14:48] <dorito> but isnt there any other alternatives?
[14:48] <_Zeus_> allu1: go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[14:48] <unop> allu1, how are you launching synaptic?
[14:49] <babo> dorito, having said that though, i can play flash files just fine ( most of the time )
[14:49] <GuySoft> hi all, is there something in ubuntu like alunn for arch linux?
[14:49] <allu1> unop:from desktop
[14:49] <wols_> dorito: gnash, swfdec
[14:49] <babo> dorito: plugins tend to make FF unstable as well ...
[14:49] <dorito> I feel like kicking the *beep* out of my computer
[14:49] <Pici> GuySoft: What does alunn do?
[14:49] <dorito> when it happens
[14:49] <babo> dorito: try to disable some of the plugins, see if that improves. then ask in #ubuntu I'd say ...
[14:49] <babo> good luck with it
[14:50] <dorito> we are in #ubuntu
[14:50] <dorito> hello? lol
[14:50] <GuySoft> Pici, it gives out updates and news on arch. it uses the update notification
[14:50] <Pici> GuySoft: Like an rss reader?
[14:50] <milan> who sexy girl
[14:50] <unop> allu1, does that mean you  are using the menu? System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager   or do you have a launcher on the desktop?
[14:51] <unop> !ot | milan
[14:51] <allu1> unop:launcher
[14:51] <Banger1> How do I add gnome virtual desktops?
[14:51] <GuySoft> Pici, yes, but it gives the update on the systray. it looks like ubuntu has something like this: http://www.nedrebo.org/code/alunn/
[14:51] <Banger1> ubuntu comes with 2, i want 4
[14:51] <dorito> wols_ gnash AND swfdec or just one of them?
[14:51] <_Zeus_> Banger1: are you using compiz?
[14:51] <Banger1> Yes
[14:51] <milan> number
[14:51] <erUSUL> Banger1: right click on the workspace switcher
[14:51] <_Zeus_> do you have ccsm installed?
[14:51] <GuySoft> Pici, the screenshotes will give you the idea..
[14:51] <wols_> one of them
[14:52] <unop> allu1, you must configure the launcher to use this command.   gksudo synaptic
[14:52] <emorris> is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup?
[14:52] <AzizLight> is there a way to make a specific starttup program launch automatically before all the other startup programs please?
[14:52] <_Zeus_> erUSUL: i guess that works too lol
[14:52] <GuySoft> Pici, i was just trying to write something like this.. when i came across that
[14:52] <Stargazers^> Hi. Any ideas, how I can add backends for empathy?
[14:52] <Banger1> I deleted the workspace switcher panel (for AWN)
[14:52] <Stargazers^> It just says that I have to install them before I can add accounts.
[14:52] <babo> Apple have their own binary format for transferring files by email. Man, apple suck
[14:52] <_Zeus_> you can add it back, or use ccsm
[14:52] <Stargazers^> But I have no any idea how to install them?
[14:52] <Stargazers^> In Hardy Heron.
[14:52] <erUSUL> _Zeus_: well maybe it has to be done twice one for the workspace switcher and one for compiz
