[18:01] <soundray> RickZilla_: for more advanced commands, check out the links in the topic of #bash
[18:01] <RickZilla_> soundray:  Thanks for the help
[18:02] <Mechdave> voglster, it will show you the program that opened it
[18:02] <ikonia> en1gma: did you update anything else other than install dmraid
[18:02] <voglster> Mechdave: if you are interested checkout what genii just offered lsof -i:8001
[18:02] <en1gma> nope
[18:02] <en1gma> just did a 'sudo apt-get install dmraid' and did the 'dmraid -ay' check and it said it had already activated
[18:02] <DrMax_> question: how do I create a device alias for a network adapter (for example, thingie0 for eth1) ? Is that possible at all?
[18:02] <en1gma> i looked in /dev/mapper and they showed up
[18:02] <ikonia> en1gma my only thought is that now that dmraid is installed initram fs is hanging as it doesn't know what to do with your disk
[18:02] <Azhi_Dahaka> is Launchy better than Gnome Do?
[18:03] <Mechdave> voglster, that is interesting :)
[18:03] <ikonia> en1gma: can you boot it into failsafe/single user mode
[18:03] <netdur> hey, where can I find more boot options like "quiet" & "splash"
[18:03] <en1gma> ikonia i dont know why it wouldnt boot off the single drive as that is what is ubuntu is installed on
[18:03] <soundray> !bootoptions > netdur
[18:03] <ikonia> en1gma making a disk visable can change the grub map
[18:03] <en1gma> ikonia i didnt try....if it is successfull what should i do
[18:04] <ikonia> en1gma: disable the volume, reboot see if the active volume is the issue
[18:04] <netdur> thanks
[18:04] <en1gma> disable the volume how
[18:04] <ikonia> en1gma: use dmraid, same way you enabled it but opposite
[18:04] <en1gma> uninstall dmraid you mean
[18:04] <en1gma> it was enabled upon install of dmraid
[18:04] <ikonia> en1gma no, just use the dmraid commands to disable the volume
[18:04] <sledge> jim_p you there
[18:05] <en1gma> dmraid -ay said they were already active
[18:05] <jim_p> sledge: here i am!!!
[18:05] <en1gma> oh its dmraid -an i think
[18:05] <ikonia> en1gma: yes, so disable it
[18:05] <ikonia> en1gma: thats right
[18:05] <en1gma> ok
[18:05] <en1gma> thanks i hope i can get into failsafe
[18:05] <sledge> jim_p:  yo.. hey what was that vid_start command for ET
[18:05] <sledge> after r_fullscreen 1
[18:05] <neoprog> how can i configure grub to boot ona raid 0 please ?
[18:05] <ikonia> neoprog raid 0 is not supported
[18:06] <ikonia> neoprog: put /boot on a non raid 0 partition
[18:06] <neoprog> this is
[18:06] <en1gma> im on a non raid as my /boot
[18:06] <en1gma> just to let him know
[18:06] <en1gma> and STILL have prpblems
[18:06] <neoprog> i have a othe disk
[18:06] <neoprog> whit ubuntu
[18:06] <neoprog> and grub
[18:06] <ikonia> en1gma: your problems are not he same as his
[18:06] <en1gma> ok brb
[18:06] <neoprog> an now i want to boot on my windows
[18:06] <en1gma> hopefully in ubuntu
[18:06] <neoprog> witch is on the raid0
[18:07] <ikonia> neoprog: ughhh fake raid 0
[18:07] <ikonia> another one
[18:07] <neoprog> ;)
[18:07] <ikonia> !fakeraid | neoprog
[18:07] <jim_p> sledge: vid_restart!!!
[18:07] <genii> neoprog: Hopefully you did not use wubi, it will mess up any Windows raid
[18:08] <jim_p> sledge: did it work? do you want any other cmd??
[18:08] <Tanalark> hi, all.
[18:08] <morth> Hello
[18:09] <Tanalark> well, the good news is that I'm finally connected to the 'net through Ubuntu instead of XP (which is dual-booted on this system)
[18:09] <soundray> Tanalark: well done
[18:09] <Tanalark> bad news is that I am having the devil's own time getting my wireless connection to work.
[18:09] <Tanalark> I'm stuck sitting in here connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
[18:09] <soundray> Tanalark: have you followed the instructions?
[18:09] <soundray> !wifi > Tanalark
[18:10] <neoprog> ubottu: i d'ont want to install ubuntu on raid0, but juste lauch windows witch is on
[18:11] <pastorjohn> hey guys, how can I find what /dev/? a blank cdrw is?
[18:11] <neoprog> wubi ?
[18:11] <pastorjohn> Lots of files in /dev, but which one is the cdrw?
[18:11] <ikonia> pastorjohn /dev/cdrom
[18:11] <soundray> pastorjohn: the CD-RW as such doesn't get a dev name. You want to address it by the drive name, which is /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom0
[18:11] <Lima> hi...ich bins nochmal
[18:11] <Pici> !de | Lima
[18:12] <neoprog> genii ;) i have already install ubuntu
[18:12] <pastorjohn> OK, I should say it's a second, usb cd/dvd drive.
[18:12] <Lima> wollte das jetzt so probieren mit der live-cd, aber ich hab nicht erkannt, welche "partition" jetzt da die /tmp war
[18:12] <neoprog> i see my raid0 whit dmraid
[18:12] <soundray> pastorjohn: that's if you have exactly one optical drive in your system -- okay
[18:12] <Tanalark> well... here's the deal... the wireless was working perfectly while I had the LiveCD in. but it just won't work right now that I've installed it.  It does work sporadically... but it basically will work for about 15 seconds and then stop working.
[18:12] <neoprog> but i want to lauche windows
[18:12] <Lima> und wenn ich sie angeklickt habe, dann hätte eigentlich der einhängepunkt stehen sollen, aber ich hab nichts gesehen
[18:12] <neoprog> on this raid0
[18:12] <Tanalark> sometimes I can ping the gateway and sometimes I can't...
[18:13] <Lima> hätte nur die partitionen löschen können und neue erstellen
[18:13] <pastorjohn> So how do i FIND which one it is?
[18:13] <soundray> pastorjohn: when you plug it in, it should generate some messages in /var/log/syslog that will help
[18:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> is Launchy better than Gnome Do?
[18:13] <Myrtti> !puregnome
[18:14] <Myrtti> !puregnome >Mirv
[18:14] <Pici> !de | Lima
[18:14] <bruenig> the only reason that stupid process is needed is because of apt-get's package grouping failures
[18:14] <Tanalark> also... is there a way to get and use Skype on 8.10?
[18:14] <Jobias> Azhi_Dahaka: i was a huge fan of quicksilver before i started using ubuntu a lot. i find gnome do follows quicksilver's design philosophy much better than launchy, so if you're used to quicksilver go with Do
[18:15] <Pici> !ibex | Tanalark
[18:15] <Lima> kann mir evtl. doch jemand helfen über das terminal mein /tmp zu löschen und so einzuhängen dass ich es für meine daten nutzen kann ?
[18:15] <tiggers> I broke my sound.
[18:15] <soundray> pastorjohn: perhaps try dmesg | grep -C 3 CD
[18:15] <soundray> Lima: hier nur Englisch bitte
[18:15] <Pici> soundray: danke.
[18:16] <soundray> Pici: gern
[18:16] <pastorjohn> soundray: OK, I'll give it a try
[18:17] <pastorjohn> looks like /dev/sr0
[18:17] <pastorjohn> Does that sound right?
[18:17] <xomp> I just used synaptic to remove Wine, but it's still showing up in my menu!!
[18:17] <soundray> pastorjohn: I would normally expect that to be your builtin one if you have both
[18:18] <geniusvicks> how does one mount all the drives automatically on startup?
[18:19] <xomp> !fstab
[18:19] <pastorjohn> how about /dev/sg0?
[18:20] <gnufs> hello
[18:20] <gnufs> how can i get rid of x and all the gui stuff?
[18:20] <gnufs> an apt-get remove foo maybe?
[18:20] <noodlesgc> xomp You can delete it in system->preferences->Main Menu, I dont know why It didn't get deleted with the unistallation
[18:20] <noodlesgc> gnufs try removing xserver-xorg
[18:20] <xomp> noodlesgc, yeah, I hate how removing software in linux is basically like deleting the shortcut to the program instead of completing the uninstall routine lol
[18:21] <SkinnYPup> When is update support ending for 6.06 desktop ?
[18:21] <soundray> pastorjohn: should be a synonym
[18:21] <soundray> !lts | SkinnYPup
[18:21] <soundray> SkinnYPup: ie. June 09
[18:21] <genii> SkinnYPup: 2009 for desktop 2011 for server
[18:22] <gnufs> noodlesgc: it removes all xserver-* but the rest is remaining
[18:22] <SkinnYPup>  ie. June 09 COOL THANK YOU GUYS !
[18:23] <noodlesgc> gnufs you may have to delete them one by one, I think there is an install mode to install a command-line system
[18:23] <puffandstuff> hello
[18:23] <genii> gnufs: first install something like ubuntu-minimal. Then remove package ubuntu-desktop
[18:23] <geniusvicks> how does one create a shortcut to a file?
[18:23] <deever> is there a way to transform the knetworkmanager config to interfaces(5) format?
[18:24] <flea_> geniusvicks: man ln
[18:24] <puffandstuff> I would like to know if something like 3D benchmark is available for linux in general, i'm not aware about 3D benchmarking tools for Linux (glxgears is so ..)
[18:24] <soundray> geniusvicks: 'ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/shortcut'
[18:24] <ruediix> geniusvicks, try reading the man page for "ln"  e.g. type "man ln" in a command prompt.
[18:24] <geniusvicks> thanks
[18:24] <noodlesgc> genii, since ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, I dont think that will  really do anything
[18:24] <soundray> !cli > geniusvicks
[18:24] <ruediix> geniusvicks soundray gave the quick answer, that's a symbolic, if you want a "hard" link you need to read the full man pages, there are limitations and such.
[18:25] <deever> because with knetworkmanager i can connect to an AP, but not manually configured with /etc/network/interfaces
[18:25] <vilhelm> is it hard to configure wlan in ubuntu? I got this zyxel wlan adapter
[18:25] <en1gma> ikon, all i can get into is initramfs help
[18:25] <anakln> Why is it then when I use fdisk to format my usb flash disk, I only see one partition when I plug it into a windows box?
[18:25] <anakln> Anyone?
[18:25] <deever> vilhelm: it's too hard...but this counts for other osses too! ;)
[18:25] <noodlesgc> anakln if you formated it with ext3 windows cant read it
[18:25] <soundray> vilhelm: some are easy, some require manual setup, some don't work. Find out what chipset you have
[18:25] <ikonia> en1gma even in single user mode
[18:25] <anakln> noodlesgc, nope, I used vfat/ntfs
[18:26] <flea_> anakln: not enough info
[18:26] <amanulla> is there any room to practice programming languages in linux
[18:26] <Azhi_Dahaka> what's the difference between a Metacity Theme and a GTK2 Theme?
[18:26] <en1gma> yea you mean recovery?
[18:26] <ruediix> Oh, does anyone know where I can get a guide for buying bluetooth dongles for Linux?  I'm looking for one for my Wii controllers, and my cell phone(s)
[18:26] <soundray> vilhelm: do a search on the USB ID (you'll find it out with lsusb)
[18:26] <ikonia> en1gma: yes
[18:26] <en1gma> yea it stops at initramfs too
[18:26] <ikonia> en1gma thats frustrating
[18:26] <noodlesgc> amanulla just join #the-name-of-the-language
[18:26] <anakln> flea_, what else is there, the partition type is set as either HP/NTFS or vfat
[18:26] <en1gma> man ubuntu was working great until i installed dmraid
[18:26] <flea_> anakln: how many partitions
[18:27] <en1gma> what FS does ubuntu pick upon install
[18:27] <VSpike> sanity check - to copy 0x4000 bytes from position 0x18D000 in file recover2.iso to the same position in recover.iso, I can do: dd bs=1024 count=16 if=recover2.iso of=recover.iso seek=634 skip=634
[18:27] <crackbadger> anyone here use espeak for ubuntu?
[18:27] <VSpike> Is that correct?
[18:27] <en1gma> maybe i can edit some files from windows
[18:27] <anakln> What I am actually trying to do is create two partitions with truecrypt on it, and then use the other partition as a hidden device
[18:27] <soundray> ruediix: I haven't heard of any BT adapters that don't work -- so buy cheap.
[18:27] <anakln> so, 2.
[18:27] <anakln> A usb flash disk- 1GB
[18:27] <crackbadger> anyone ever get this error message with espeak?
[18:27] <crackbadger> PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_WRONLY
[18:27] <crackbadger> PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000
[18:27] <flea_> anakln: you have a vfat and a what?
[18:27] <ruediix> soundray, what about with the wii controller driver, I know the Wii controllers were picky.  They wanted a specific chip.
[18:27] <geniusvicks> ruediix, i mean like in windows where you right click and select create a shortcut
[18:28] <en1gma> what fs does ubuntu pick when you install with guided
[18:28] <en1gma> im tlaking 8.04
[18:28] <Pici> en1gma: ext3
[18:28] <soundray> ruediix: don't know -- that's not really a Ubuntu question. Perhaps ask in ##hardware
[18:28] <flea_> en1gma: ext3
[18:28] <anakln> well, I've done it in both ntfs/vfat. That is, 2 ntfs parts first, didnt work, next I did two vfat parts, didn't work, finally, a mix of the two
[18:28] <anakln> its a no-go.
[18:28] <en1gma> ok i gonna try and find an ext3 reader for vista
[18:28] <ruediix> soundray, or one of the wii hacker pages.
[18:28] <ruediix> soundray, I'll check both.
[18:28] <flea_> anakln: why not use diskpart from windows :/
[18:29] <anakln> flea_, I only have virtualbox. diskpart doesn't show the usb devs on it.
[18:29] <amanulla> how to run a cprogram in ubuntu
[18:29] <amanulla> any one plss
[18:29] <Pici> !compile > amanulla
[18:29] <flea_> anakln: sry, i cant help beyond that
[18:29] <ruediix> geniusvicks, that would be the symbolic link type, and most OpenDesktop ones support ".desktop" format links, but you need to read each one's documentation on the GUI method to create them
[18:29] <jim_p> amanulla: a c programm?
[18:30] <amanulla> yes
[18:30] <anakln> flea_, no worries, thanks anyway :D
[18:30] <ruediix> geniusvicks, a symbolic link is a low-level one supported by the Linux kernel, the .desktop is exclusively in your GUI programs that support openDesktop, which is basically all of them now.
[18:30] <en1gma> i can see all the files on the ubuntu drive
[18:30] <geniusvicks> kk
[18:31] <en1gma> is there anything i can do to fix it from windows
[18:31] <geniusvicks> btw, there is some site to paste stuff which is not allowed here right, what is that?
[18:31] <flea_> anakln: i dont use nor have ever used vbox, but sounds like its getting exported as one part from vbox, if vbox cant see the usb devices
[18:31] <flea_> anakln: perhaps a drive config
[18:31] <MrKennie> !pastebin
[18:31] <ruediix> geniusvicks, that is for "flood protection" because some files are just too big.
[18:32] <ruediix> geniusvicks, not everyone has multicast-dcc you know.
[18:32] <vilhelm> ok the wireless adapter is a zyxel AG-220
[18:32] <ruediix> geniusvicks, or any dcc for that matter.
[18:33] <geniusvicks> ruediix, didnt undestand what u said
[18:33] <geniusvicks> btw, my fstab file shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/55068/
[18:33] <geniusvicks> But i have many
[18:33] <geniusvicks> partitions
[18:33] <ruediix> geniusvicks dcc is another method to transfer files on chat lines, it means "Direct Client to Client"
[18:33] <geniusvicks> kk
[18:33] <soundray> vilhelm: did you run lsusb yet?
 I will do it now

[18:34] <mimi> can some help me hack my msn account to get it back
[18:34] <yoink> hi folks, I have have a Ubuntu 8.04 server running a small KnowledgeTree (DMS) install. I have an external USB disk that I would like to backup the system to and I was wondering what the best method was? "rdiff-backup"? Mondo Rescue?
[18:35] <yoink> thanks in advance!
[18:35] <yoink> :)
[18:35] <noodlesgc> mimi sorry, can't talk about that type of stuff in here.
[18:35] <mimi> really
[18:35] <geniusvicks> Help with fstab. I have many more partitions(Windows) but only few are seen in here. How to get them in? http://paste.ubuntu.com/55068/
[18:35] <mimi> do there no way i can get my msn account back
[18:36] <mimi> all my contacts is there thats y
[18:36] <ruediix> yoink what type of backup do you want, and what features?
[18:36] <v0lksman> mimi:  contact msn support
[18:36] <MrKennie> mimi: ask mswn
[18:36] <Cool-Nick> I can't install Ubuntu. It reboots during loading
[18:36] <MrKennie> msn*
[18:36] <mimi> can give me any other solution
[18:36] <mimi> thanks
[18:36] <Cool-Nick> any ideas?
[18:36] <noodlesgc> mimi is there a problem with the forgot password option?
[18:36] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: always the same spot?
 are u still here?
[18:36] <soundray> vilhelm: that adapter should work out of the box.
[18:37] <yoink> ruediix: well really I only need to backup the knowledgetree install, but it would be nice if I could backup that but also generate a disk image I could just use to restore if something happened... though I imagine I can't run something like dd_rescue if the disk is mounted.
[18:37] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: yeah
[18:37] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: what part?
[18:37] <ruediix> geniusvicks, oh not all Windows partitions mount automatically, you need to install ntfs-ng to get it working.  Encrypted and comrpessed volumes will still be slow.
[18:37] <ruediix> geniusvicks, I mean not work reliably.
[18:37] <yoink> ruediix: it would be really wonderful to do incremental backups to save space but the external drive is 5 times the size of the system disk so not a big deal really
[18:38] <Tanalark> is there a way to find out what version of ubuntu you're running?
[18:38] <noodlesgc> Tanalark lsb_release -a
[18:38] <mimi> is not that i forget the password someone have access with my account
[18:38] <soundray> vilhelm: can you see the network manager applet on the top panel near the clock?
[18:38] <mimi> and change my password and the question 2
[18:39] <mimi> i just feel bad coz i have that account for along time and all my contacts is there
[18:39] <noodlesgc> mimi sorry, we can't help you here
[18:39] <Tanalark> thanks.
[18:39] <mimi> no promblem... i just have to try u know
[18:39] <Tanalark> is there a way to run Skype on 8.04.1?
[18:39] <petey_petey> I'm having trouble mounting a windows machine on the network, does anyone have experience there?
[18:39] <Tanalark> I looked on the repos and it's not there.. or at least, I don't know how to find it.
[18:39] <soundray> !skype | Tanalark
[18:39] <MrKennie> !medibuntu > Tanalark
[18:40] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: during loading. Actually i couldn't insall ubuntu using GUI cuz it was rebooting in the same spot while it loads the GUI, so i installed it using the alternate CD, but the same problem happens when it is loading. Also i couldn't use the live version cuz it reboots at that point also. I can't never reach the desktop or any GUI, it reboots during loading the system.
[18:40] <MrKennie> Tanalark: medibuntu has skype which makes it easier to update etc.
[18:40] <ruediix> yoink, hmm, well I use a compression program and tar for most of my backups.  However, I usually only backup data and personal settings.
[18:40] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: any idea what vid card is in the machine?
[18:40] <ksbalaji> I have different desktop images in each desktop when I disable nautilus drawing desktop. But why don't I see the launcher Icons?
[18:40] <Tanalark> i downloaded the package, but it says that there's a hardware problem... something about i386
[18:40] <Tanalark> and it won't run.
[18:41] <noodlesgc> Tanalark did you get it from mediubuntu?
[18:41] <soundray> Tanalark: read ubottu's messages please and install skype from an Ubuntu package
[18:41] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: what's the meaning of vid?
[18:41] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: the video card
[18:41] <ruediix> yoink, you could use rdiff, or a specialty program.  KDE has several backup programs that support rdiff like functionality, with compressed tar backup formats.
[18:41] <yoink> ruediix: I can't believe my thinking was so uptight I didn't even ponder tar
[18:42] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: what do you want to know about it?
[18:42] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: what kind is it
[18:42] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: make/model
[18:42] <ksbalaji> I have different desktop images in each desktop when I disable nautilus drawing desktop. But why don't I see the launcher Icons? can not I have the images and launcher icons on the desktop?
[18:42] <yoink> ruediix: you know I think tar archives with the date appended to the filename in a weekly cron event might just do the trick
[18:42] <yoink> ruediix: thanks ! :D
[18:42] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: Calorido nvidia AGP 256
[18:42] <v0lksman> ksbalaji: stop spamming...check compiz..it's a known "issue"
[18:43] <ruediix> Yoink, most people don't.  If you want to do full backups, you can make added more frequent incremental backups by uncompressing the most recent archive, without untaring it, and then comparing it to a fresh tar with a binary patch tool.
[18:43] <ksbalaji> v0lksman, thanks for responding. Please tell me where to check for the issue?
[18:44] <v0lksman> ksbalaji: compiz website
[18:44] <Pici> ksbalaji: or #compiz-fusion
[18:44] <ksbalaji> v0lksman, thanks and bye.
[18:44] <noodlesgc> ksbalaji there is a compiz plugin to resolve this issue that is included in intrepid
[18:44] <soundray> vilhelm: how are you getting on?
[18:44] <coke19> is there a way to bridge two dsl lines in ubuntu
[18:44] <ruif13> hi i install apt-get install libnss-ldap but my network close and my install don't ends how can i install again ?
[18:44] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: i can't remember what Geforce is
[18:44] <maniheer> ^^
[18:44] <v0lksman> noodlesgc: nice...didn't know about that...guess that is my "excuse" to run Intrepid.. ;)
[18:45] <Azhi_Dahaka> what's the difference between a Metacity Theme and a GTK2 Theme?
[18:45] <MrKennie> ruif13: try sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal
[18:45] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: hrm...never heard of Calorido...not sure what that is...
[18:45] <Pici> Azhi_Dahaka: Metacity draws the window borders. GTK2 handles the stuff inside the windows, i.e: buttons, scrollbars, etc.
[18:46] <Azlx> ok got a question, i just use gparted to change a terminal, i have one ready, and im trying to use it with ubuntu, im duel booting windows vista, and im trying to use it with ubuntu, what do i do.
[18:46] <coke19> trying to setup ubuntu as a router with two dsl lines different ip address
[18:46] <yoink> ruediix: thanks again. I'm going to do some reading and a bit of playing. ;)
[18:47] <nate_> Hi, Im getting this weird error that i cannot seem to fix, the error is recurring when i log on to the computer it says... "Users $HOME /.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and languate from being saved. File should be Owned b user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME Directory must be owned by user and not writeable by other users"
[18:47] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: i think it's Colorado
[18:48] <ruediix> yoink, one last possibility in the other extreme, you can always use dd, and binary diff and compress that, so you get full recoverable partition images.
[18:48] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: tried chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
[18:48] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: maybe it's a Chinese company
[18:48] <``Cube> whens the next version of ubuntu coming out?
[18:48] <soundray> !intrepid > ``Cube
[18:48] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: would make sense cause I got a bunch of results in Chinese.. :)
[18:48] <Pici> ``Cube: Targetted for Oct 30th
[18:48] <ivan__> hi to all! maybe someone can help me? i need to compile in anjuta, how i can do it? C language..
[18:48] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: i think so
[18:49] <v0lksman> Cool-Nick: might want to check the forums and see if anyone has the same card...may help
[18:49] <kikei> cool
[18:49] <ruediix> ivan__ Usually you want to compile from the command line, after you save.
[18:49] <Cool-Nick> v0lksman: why? Do you belive that the problem is from the grahpics card?
[18:49] <nate_> that didnt do anything?
[18:50] <aria_> I'm having trouble setting up sound on my lappy, I'm using Intrepid Ibix; and currently the only thing I can hear is my mic output; and while it sounds neat when I type I want to be able to listen to music too.
[18:50] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: did you relog?
[18:50] <Pici> !ibex | aria_
[18:50] <RonzO> aria_, #ubuntu+1
[18:50] <nate_> umm. no haha. ill see
[18:50] <utabak> how can I install a virtual package? given with the v flag in aptitude, thx
[18:51] <RonzO> utabak, the v flag is for verbose
[18:51] <ronny> hi
[18:51] <RonzO> hey ronny
[18:51] <genii> coke19: Look into shaper/shapecfg
[18:51] <ronny> how can i set up the grub-update script to disable spalsh for all kerneks?
[18:51] <ronny> *splash
[18:51] <nate_> okay. it didnt do anything
[18:52] <nate_> i logged off and logged on. still same error
[18:52] <utabak> RonzO ; I tried to install libumfpack4-dev but it seems with the v option, I checked the aptitude help it was written virtual, or am I mistaken?
[18:52] <ruif13> MrKennie: doesn't run :( the gui to setup
[18:52] <utabak> RonzO this is 1st time, I ran into a problem like this ;)
[18:52] <soundray> ronny: sudo sed -i 's/splash//g' /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:52] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: what does ls -l ~/.dmrc tell you?
[18:53] <RonzO> im checking now utabak . -v is usually for verbose...and i could be mistaking
[18:53] <ronny> soundray: but wont that readd the splash on the next kernel update?
[18:53] <nate_> -rw-r--r-- 1 nate nate 28 2008-09-29 05:14 /home/nate/.dmrc
[18:53] <soundray> ronny: no
[18:54] <RonzO> utabak, just checked man pages...-V is for versions, -v is for verbose
[18:54] <ronny> oh, i see, its all in the weird config comments
[18:54] <utabak> RonZo; any clues how to install it
[18:54] <Pici> utabak: You don't install virtual packages.  Install one of the packages that apt-get/aptitude lists as providing this package.
[18:54] <soundray> ronny: it removes it from the #defoptions line as well, so it will never reappear.
[18:54] <RonzO> utabak, with a virtual install?
[18:54] <utabak> Pici, thx
[18:55] <utabak> RonzO, ??
[18:55] <RonzO> utabak, do you just wnat to install the package?
[18:55] <soundray> ichbinesderelch: perhaps suggest deleting it
[18:55] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: permission should be set to  -rw------- i think, but dunno howto set it with chmod :P
[18:55] <FFighter> hello
[18:55] <utabak> RonzO, yes and its dependencies if any, I am sure of this however
[18:55] <Pici> RonzO: Hes talking about what aptitude shows when doing something like: aptitude search libumfpack4-dev
[18:55] <soundray> ichbinesderelch: it would be 600
[18:55] <terrestre> how good is a printer performance of a printer using his own drivers against one using a .ppd file?
[18:55] <ksbalaji> !intrepid
[18:55] <FFighter> I have installed the cups-pdf package to have a pdf virtual printer, now I need to access its IO device, where is it located??
[18:55] <genii> coke19: Also you may want to look at ifenslave
[18:56] <nisink> chmod 400> mby
[18:56] <nisink> chmod 400? mby
[18:56] <utabak> RonzO; not sure
[18:56] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: some holy ghost told me, try deleting the .dmrc file and relog ;)
[18:56] <RonzO> utabak, Pici ah, gotcha. to search for it do apt-cache search <package name> and apt-get install <package name> to install it
[18:56] <soundray> terrestre: that question does not make sense. A printer's "own drivers" should contain a .ppd too
[18:56] <nate_> hmm okay and how could i do this with a command?
[18:56] <Pici> RonzO: But not for a virtual package, you cannot install virtual packages
[18:56] <RonzO> utabak, Pici to show dependancies, use the -D flag
[18:56] <utabak> RonzO, hmm :)
[18:56] <FFighter> does anyone know?
[18:56] <Pici> utabak: do: aptitude show libumfpack4-dev, to see what packages provide this
[18:57] <sledge> jim_p:  hwo do you plant dynamite, and they do have games with vehicles
[18:57] <RonzO> Pici, maybe you can help utabak then. i don't completely understand what he needs. =)
[18:57] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: rm .dmrc
[18:57] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: (i assumed you're in your home directory)
[18:57] <utabak> Pici, I see thanks
[18:57] <Pici> utabak: On my system: Provided by: libsuitesparse-dev, libsuitesparse-metis-dev
[18:57] <nate_> umm ill get there
[18:57] <terrestre> soundray, yes but have a lot more information, when you dont have any linux driver availble you use ppd
[18:58] <utabak> Pici, on mine, the 1st
[18:58] <utabak> Pici, thx for the help
[18:58] <Pici> utabak: Sure :)
[18:58] <jean-louis_> can I install the intrepid's cairo-dock deb on my gutsy, so that it would just be well updated when intrepid will come ?
[18:58] <jim_p> sledge: i dont know lol
[18:58] <soundray> terrestre: you mean a generic ppd. There isn't usually a difference in performance, only in capabilities accessible throught the printer setup.
[18:59] <terrestre> soundray, thanks
[18:59] <sledge> jim_p:  that game is awsome
[18:59] <chao1> I have a user that can not log in. I had changed the ownership before so that I could get access to some files. Then I changed the owner back to the original owner and did sudo chmod 644. Now they can't even log in.
[19:00] <sledge> 644
[19:00] <FFighter> please, I need some help - what's the IO device file for the cups-pdf printer?
[19:00] <FFighter> :)
[19:01] <pixelfairy> anyone know how to get rid of that dialog box that pops up everytime i ssh somewhere?
[19:01] <jim_p> sledge: how can i play :P
[19:01] <Azlx> need some help, how do i get my ubuntu to recognize the petition i just added to it?
[19:01] <talntid> pixelfairy, you mean the SSH key authorization one?
[19:01] <chao1> any clues as to how i can get this back working
[19:01] <pixelfairy> talntid: yes
[19:01] <sledge> jim_p:  install enemey territory
[19:01] <pixelfairy> im using ssh-agent so it shouldnt be needed
[19:01] <talntid> no idea
[19:02] <jim_p> sledge: i think et is like 500mb big right?
[19:02] <pixelfairy> umm... thanks :P
[19:02] <nate_> no luck...
[19:02] <sledge> probably
[19:02] <juandiego> hola que tal
[19:02] <chao1> **==Any ideas would be great*-:)

[19:07] <alex____> Rando_: I rely on that all the time.  I use irssi through screen on my remote linux machine.  I never bother to detach.  I just close PuTTy  :)
[19:07] <Tanalark> so... about the skype installer...
[19:07] <Tanalark> anyone know something I can do to fix the problem?
[19:08] <RonzO> Tanalark, whats wrong with it? you should just be able to apt-get install it
[19:08] <RonzO> Tanalark, i did it last night
[19:08] <Tanalark>  just downloaded the Skype installer from medibuntu and there is an error: Wrong architecture "i386'
[19:08] <en1gma> ikonia i got my system working again....it was easy
[19:08] <Tanalark> would you take me through the process of what you did, so I can duplicate that?
[19:08] <MrKennie> Tanalark: there is no skype installer at medibuntu
[19:08] <Tanalark> ok...
[19:08] <en1gma> all i did (from windows) was restore the old initrd image with a tool that lets windows see ext2/3 fs
[19:08] <RonzO> Tanalark, i don't have the medibuntu repos on here. i just did apt-get install
[19:08] <Tanalark> then I would love to findone. :)
[19:08] <MrKennie> Tanalark: medibuntu is a repository for applications like skype.
[19:09] <Tanalark> so apt-get install skype?
[19:09] <Tanalark> and that's all I have to do from the terminal?
[19:09] <konrad_> yes
[19:09] <Tanalark> I'm a total newbie.
[19:09] <en1gma> ikonia did you see what i wrote
[19:09] <terrestre> Tanalark, sudo apt-get install skype
[19:09] <terrestre> i preferd aptitude btw
[19:09] <RonzO> Tanalark, yes, thats all ya gotta do
[19:09] <ichbinesderelch> nate_: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5863392
[19:09] <MrKennie> Tanalark: not at all, jsut follow the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[19:09] <Tanalark> wow... very cool. ;)
[19:09] <Whitor> Hi, How would I establish a connection in a terminal window to /dev/ttyS0 ?
[19:10] <eReSik> hello
[19:10] <Tanalark> it looks like it's working...
[19:10] <amanulla> hii
[19:10] <MrKennie> Tanalark: ah, good :)
[19:10] <genii> Whitor: With something like minicom
[19:10] <Tanalark> so I can do that for any package on the medibuntu repo?
[19:10] <Tanalark> just use the name of the program?
[19:10] <MrKennie> Tanalark: any that is available there
[19:11] <RonzO> MrKennie, why would you use medibuntu repos? everything works fine for me without it
[19:11] <Tanalark> cool.
[19:11] <Whitor> genii, ok, I'll look that up
[19:11] <MrKennie> RonzO: huh?
[19:11] <RonzO> Tanalark, thats how you install packages with ubuntu. sudo apt-get install <package>
[19:11] <Whitor> thanks genii
[19:11] <Tanalark> *nod*
[19:11] <genii> Whitor: You're welcome
[19:11] <RonzO> MrKennie, why would you need to use medibuntu repository? everything works fine without it
[19:11] <sledge> jim_p:  i dont think so
[19:11] <MrKennie> RonzO: huh?
[19:11] <RonzO> MrKennie, including the dvd's and whatnot
[19:12] <Tanalark> ok.. I am used to PC Linux OS... I just "ported" over... and I'm used to doing all of my installations and such through the package manager.
[19:12] <sledge> jim_p:  you can get the mod from me when i host the server
[19:12] <utabak> exit
[19:12] <Whitor> Tanalark, you are in luck! Ubuntu has the Synaptic Package Manager
[19:12] <Tanalark> is there a general guide to setting up shortcuts and such?  it's a pain in the ass to have to go through the menu to open a terminal all the time.
[19:12] <MrKennie> RonzO: it is my understanding medibuntu is for packages that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons
[19:12] <Tanalark> oh, that would be neat. :)
[19:12] <Tanalark> does it work like it does in KDE?
[19:12] <jim_p> ok sledge
[19:13] <Whitor> Tanalark, check out System -> Administration -> synaptic
[19:13] <Whitor> Tanalark, Absolutely it works with KDE
[19:13] <RonzO> MrKennie, they can't be included in the cd...but they are available in the repositories. libdvdcss2 is in there because in other parts of the world...they can use decoders for dvd's legally
[19:13] <Tanalark> oh!  cool. :)
[19:13] <Whitor> you will like it. its very comprehensive
[19:13] <Whitor> have fun!
[19:14] <RonzO> and Tanalark , just do sudo apt-get install skype. its in the repositories w/o the medibuntu, just checked it on mine
[19:14] <Tanalark> oh, I was aware that it worked with KDE... I just came from PCLOS 2007, which is in KDE... it works the same in Gnome?
[19:14] <sledge> does anyone know how i can extract a zip in command line
[19:14] <applesauce> sledge:  unzip
[19:14] <Grey_Loki> sledge, 'unzip' :)
[19:14] <Whitor> Tanalark, Gnome, Xfce, awesome... any window manager you want
[19:14] <ichbinesderelch> sledge: unzip <filename>
[19:14] <RonzO> Tanalark, yup. =) any kde app works in gnome, and any gnome app works in kde
[19:14] <Tanalark> thanks a lot! :)
[19:14] <Tanalark> I didn't realize that.
[19:14] <applesauce> you can  use 7zip too
[19:14] <Tanalark> so.. next question.
[19:14] <sledge> ok thanks
[19:15] <Tanalark> is there a general guide to setting up shortcuts and such?  it's a pain in the ass to have to go through the menu to open a terminal all the time.
[19:15] <FloodBot3> Tanalark: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:15] <sledge> does anyone know how i can load a pk3 mod in ET
[19:15] <amanulla>  ##c :Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel
[19:15] <Whitor> Tanalark, right click -> Create launcher
[19:15] <amanulla> what does this means?
[19:15] <LjL> !register > amanulla    (amanulla, see the private message from Ubotu)
[19:15] <MrKennie> RonzO: Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[19:15] <Whitor> Tanalark, or, simply drag your existing shortcut out of an existing menu
[19:15] <Tanalark> oh. :)
[19:16] <Tanalark> sweet.. thanks a lot, guys..
[19:16] <Tanalark> how about keyboard shortcuts?
[19:16] <RonzO> MrKennie, does it say what package?
[19:16] <Tanalark> is there a way to find out a list of what shortcuts are already available in ubuntu?
[19:16] <MrKennie> E: Package skype has no installation candidate
[19:16] <RonzO> Tanalark, keyboard shortcuts from system > prefferences
[19:17] <Whitor> Ubuntu is a snap. its just a matter of finding out how to do things for the first time... its almost harder if you have previous experience.... try not to think about things too hard..
[19:17] <elfgoh> hi does anybody know the status of wubi in the latest ubuntu beta?
[19:17] <Tanalark> awesome.. thanks, y'all.

[19:17] <Whitor> Tanalark, you are very welcome
[19:18] <Whitor> tta, whats your prob ?
[19:18] <RonzO> Tanalark, i would say to google "ubuntu keyboard shortcuts" cause there are WAY more than listed, like alt f2 for a run box
[19:18] <Whitor> tta... and to foreward oyu ... I prefer VLC
[19:18] <FFEMTcJ> I get this error when trying to rsync.. what's wrong with it? http://slexy.org/view/s25J9J1mRQ

[19:23] <etesla> Hey, guys. I'm running into a problem with my Ubuntu install (Hardy Heron 8.04, I believe) in which the GUI side works fine, but when I try to ctrl-alt-F1 out to console, it goes schizo - I get half a screen of garbled partial white characters on black, and they flicker. Ctrl-alt-F7 brings me back to the UI side just fine, but I'd really love to get the console side working properly. Any thoughts?
[19:23] <talntid> etesla, what video card do you have?
[19:23] <techsupport> ok rebooting..
[19:23] <pr> question: has anyone tried Openoffice 3?
[19:24] <pr> and if so: does it look sleeker?

[19:27] <MrKennie> FFighter: do you mean like /dev/lp0 ?
[19:27] <lucax> Learnt to fly FFighter, if u want to share a printer, use samba...
[19:27] <demism> how do I bridge a connection?
[19:27] <FFighter> lucax, I don't need to share the printer, I need it to be accessible via IO, to use it programatically :)
[19:28] <FFighter> MrKennie, hmm, thanks

[19:28] <FFighter> MrKennie, no lp0, I'm actually trying to access the cups-pdf printer

[19:28] <yoavk> How do I connect 2 screens (Dual View) to HP series dv6000? (Nvidia)
[19:29] <MrKennie> FFighter: I'm not sure what you mean then other than perhaps the PPD files?
[19:29] <jim_p> sledge: i am not downloading now
[19:29] <FFighter> MrKennie, well, I just need to open an IO connection to the PDF printer, how would I do that?

[19:45] <etesla> I'm on a Sylvania g Netbook. I didn't care for gOS, so I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Most everything works fine, except when I try to shell out to console, which causes a black screen with the top half of the screen covered with flickering partial white characters. I can Ctrl-alt-F7 back to the GUI side just fine, but I'd like to get the console working. I think it should be possible, given gOS is an Ubuntu variant and console worked

[19:46] <betanews> how can update just a few packages without satisfying all dependancies? apt-get upgrade xserver-xorg-video-all wants to download 108MB of data, including new glibc, python, etc BUT I only need to update xorf
[19:47] <etesla> It's the VIA CX700 chipset for the video card, if that helps.
[19:47] <MrKennie> betanews: what if you apt-get install the package you want?
[19:47] <jjulian_> is it possible to reset the pw? cause while installation i set my password or my username wrong and dont wanna reinstall
[19:47] <jjulian_> i have the laptop here and a ubuntu cd of course
[19:47] <betanews> MrKennie: it shows all extra packages which apt-get thinks are needed to be updated
[19:48] <amanulla> jjulian_:are you talking about root passwd or user login passwd
[19:48] <jjulian_> user login pw the main user
[19:49] <jjulian_> amanulla, the main user which you set on installation
[19:49] <MrKennie> betanews: if it depends on those files then I'm not sure.
[19:49] <macvr> hi all.... how can i change the cooling fan setting in my laptop?
[19:49] <amanulla> jjulian_:so you are not able to login now
[19:50] <amanulla> jjulian_:like this"incorrect user name"
[19:50] <amanulla> r passwd
[19:51] <betanews> MrKennie: I had to use install package_name instead of update package_name, since update takes no arguments
[19:51] <Tanalark> grr...
[19:51] <Tanalark> this is really starting to frustrate me.
[19:51] <amanulla> jjulian_:you there?

[20:17] <Kharnov> Okay, I think I found a crude, temporary fix to the Network Manager issue.
[20:17] <ackdesha> I have a situation where I want to users to have write permission on a folder.  I've created a new group and added both users to the group and then I've done a recursive chgrp on the dir.  This is all great until someone creates a new file and the new file's group isn't the common group.  How can I make the chgrp setting persistent for new files? thx
[20:18] <poot> k, thank you.
[20:18] <Kharnov> I just got rid of Network Manager and replaced it with network-config. Run it from the command line and voila, your internets work.

[20:23] <_bright_> UserRobert1967: You better install Ubunut desktop and install apache, php and mysql by XAMPP
[20:23] <_bright_> is a lot easyer
[20:23] <Pici> _bright_: No, that is not the supported method.
[20:23] <UserRobert1967> XAMPP? or LAMP?
[20:23] <_bright_> um...
[20:23] <_bright_> LAMPP is for Linux
[20:24] <_bright_> XAMPP for Windows
[20:24] <bingungbanget> hello, i has some problem with my wireless router, i'd just install the router, and my pc (windows) and notebook (ubuntu) works well, then I restart both of them, the PC still can connect (with wired to the router), but my ubuntu can't find any wifi, i'd checked, lsmode, and the wlan detected, i'd tried with my cellphone, and the wifi detected, anyone know how to solve this issues please ?
[20:24] <_bright_> so use LAMPP
[20:24] <Pici> UserRobert1967: XAMPP is a third party package that bypasses the repositories and we cannot support that here.

[20:24] <UserRobert1967> what is the difference between Ubunto server and Ubunto
[20:24] <chronic1> I'm having a bit of audio issues with my newest machine and ubuntu....it seems that gstreamer/pulse sources produce no sound but lock the resource to the sound device
[20:25] <UserRobert1967> And the soundcard worked under Suse11 and FC9. But not under Debian and Ubuntu. I prefer Ubuntu btw
[20:25] <Pici> UserRobert1967: Ubuntu server uses a kernel that is designed to work on high-memory machines, beyond that, its just down the the default packages installed, nothing else.
[20:25] <_bright_> Ubuntu server has no desktop envirement like Gnome or KDE
[20:25] <chronic1> however, alsa (mplayer, vlc, amarok) is fine...any ideas on how to get gstreamer/pulse to work also?  (I've already tried setting the specific sink in gstramer-properties)

[20:26] <kri> so i can change the config
[20:26] <ichbinesderelch> bingungbanget: by nic i meant the name of the network interface, like wlan0
[20:26] <_bright_> kri: just type irssi
[20:26] <kri> and do i have to restart irssi to take the change effects
[20:26] <chronic1> kri: what do you mean?  have you ran updatedb?
[20:27] <tictac232434> "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument"
[20:27] <chronic1> or maybe `which irssi`
[20:27] <tictac232434> Any Ideas?
[20:27] <kri> no but i would like to modify it a little
[20:27] <Pici> kri: ~/.irssi/config  is where your user's config is normally sotred.
[20:27] <migm2> so i have two network cards, and i can see them both in lspci and they're functioning, the both of them.  How do i figure out which one is which in ifconfig?
[20:27] <Pici> kri: stored rather.
[20:27] <_bright_> locate irssi or whereis irssi
[20:27] <kri> i want to show timestams hh:mm:ss
[20:27] <_bright_> but irssi is bin so you can use it just in the terminal
[20:27] <chronic1> kri: better to ask in #irssi
 : sorry i'm very new to these stuff, could u please tell me what should i type ?
[20:28] <Pici> kri: within irssi: /set timestamp_format
[20:28] <kri> thanks
[20:28] <ichbinesderelch> bingungbanget: "ifconfig" gives the output of your network interfaces, i guess there will bi eth0 and any other?

[20:35] <bytor4232> Hey, something wierd has happened.  I'm running Intrepid Beta, updated to today.  When I hit Fn and one of the brightness buttons, I get a wierd plus/minus character on my screen.

[20:36] <maniheer> :D
[20:36] <tictac232434> Zues: When I click it and the Movie player opens the error message comes up.
[20:36] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: that's odd, then i don't know what it is
[20:36] <rsc-> Tundrayeti311, you mean the alsa sink is messed up as it's not routing it to pulseaudio like it should?
[20:37] <tictac232434> Zues: Mplayer from GNOME works but error message still comes up and I prefer Movie player much more.
[20:37] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: maybe the file is messed up?
[20:37] <Tundrayeti311> rsc-: yes
[20:37] <TJ-42> how is is that according to the program "htop", 2 cores of my cpu are being utilized 100%, but no single process is using more than 15% (and seeming to total to 25%)?
[20:37] <_Zeus_> TJ-42: try using gnome-system-monitor, that should give more data
[20:37] <rsc-> Tundrayeti311, how do if ix it?
[20:37] <tictac232434> Zues: I donno I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing Movie player and codec's and have installed Ubuntu restricted also.
[20:37] <Skeleton_Eel> tictac232434 : try smplayer
[20:37] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: are all the mp3s like this?
[20:38] <tictac232434> yea
[20:38] <TJ-42> _Zeus_: system monitor shows 0% cpu usage for every single process
[20:38] <regeya> tictac232434: any chance an upgrade might have removed those restricted codecs?
[20:38] <_Zeus_> TJ-42: gah...
[20:38] <MeVsTheVoices> What package is load-module found in?
[20:38] <tictac232434> Skeleton: does smplayer have a feature where if it is already playing an song and u double click another it will switch over instead of opening it in another window?
[20:38] <_Zeus_> TJ-42: and nothing shows up in htop?
[20:38] <tictac232434> Reg: Nope
[20:39] <tictac232434> Reg: Did it yesturday and tried reinstalling restriction a few mins ago
[20:39] <TJ-42> _Zeus_: some things show up in htop, but it doesn't seem like it would account for the total cpu usage being reported
[20:39] <tonix> somebody out there can explain me why the deb package of samba in ubuntu modify  the files /etc/pam.d/common-password and /etc/pam.d/common-auth in order to sync unix passwords to samba password? thanks a lot
[20:39] <Tundrayeti311> rsc-: Double check to make sure you have all of the pulse packages installed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio... or u may just need your /etc/asound.conf as described
[20:39] <_Zeus_> TJ-42: you do realize that the percentages of htop include all the cores
[20:40] <comicinker> question: can I resize an encrypted partition (ext2) with gparted without destroying it? for encryption Luks is used
[20:40] <_Zeus_> TJ-42: so if you have a dual-core, and it's using 50%, that's 1 core@100% and another core @0%
[20:40] <_Zeus_> or both at 50, etc
[20:40] <tictac232434> So any ideas?
[20:40] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: no, i don't... are all mp3s like that?
[20:40] <tictac232434> Zues: yea
[20:41] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: you could reinstall lame

[20:41] <tictac232434> Zues: Yea but I can-not remember which
[20:41] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: are you using intrepid?
[20:42] <webas> can anyone help me with grub a little bit :|

[20:42] <tictac232434> Heron*
[20:42] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: what do you mean?  updates can effect anything.
[20:42] <TJ-42> _Zeus_: it seems to be right some times, but when my system slows to a halt, I often see nothing with cpu% above 15.  on my quad core that could account for 60% of one core, but still when you add it all up it doesn't really seem to account for several full cores being used -- the processes look quite like they do when the cores are all below 10%.
[20:42] <tictac232434> Zues: The updates I was installing were for like flash or something stupid like that
[20:42] <Tundrayeti311> Am i correct that /etc/asound.conf is system-wide, while ~/.asoundrc will override for that specific user?
[20:43] <_Zeus_> Tundrayeti311: sounds right
[20:43] <webas> _zeus i tried to fix grub few times before and i succeded..but now using same guide i get an error15 ( find /boot/grub/stage1 )
[20:43] <_Zeus_> tictac232434: updates can still effect anything

[20:43] <dr_willis> tim167,  cant say that ive ever tried that...

[20:46] <_Zeus_> tim167: there are also cases where you'd want to go back in time

[20:46] <_Zeus_> yes

[21:01] <tictac232434> My interal sound is not working properly any ideas?
[21:02] <xbxb> I read that it is a good idea to keep /tmp on a separte disc for security reasons.  I normally just use 32bit
[21:06] <tictac232434> Does anyone know anything about fixing the internal sound? Or installing it?
[21:06] <dracz> hi! i want to read-only mount my root fs. but the system will not run with / mouted ro. it is probably because /tmp is needed
[21:06] <dracz> what can i do
[21:06] <DavidCanarias> Does anyone know if Digikam allows you to import pix from your camera?
[21:07] <dracz> it's on a flash card which will have its live shortened by too many writes
[21:07] <macv1>  thiebaude: could check this file>>>>/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points mine is empty!!!
[21:07] <dr_willis> dracz,  put /tmp  on another filesystem
[21:07] <solar_> thank you dr willis is there any way to pass options to the kernel like bypassing hardware check
[21:07] <dracz> dr_willis, there is none. maybe a ramdisk?
[21:07] <dr_willis> solar_,  theres options you can pass. butive no idea what options would helop in your case
[21:07] <dracz> its an mp3 player
[21:07] <pat__> utilisation ubuntu
[21:07] <dr_willis> dracz,  thats possible.. but it would suck if it fills up. :)
[21:07] <comicinker> dracz: it's not possible to run linux with a read-only root
[21:07] <solar_> i tried 7.10 Xubuntu but no way kernel panics
[21:07] <comicinker> I think

[21:08] <DIFH-iceroot> omni: look at /etc/hosts
[21:08] <dracz> comicinker: what about all those live cds then?
[21:09] <omni> pat: qu'est ce que la question?
[21:09] <RickZilla> Ok, anybody see this nonsense from Google earlier today?  http://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/stories/2008/10/06/daily16.html
[21:09] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: have you ever configured it from the terminal??
[21:09] <dr_willis> solar_,  thats easy.. use the 'nofb nosplash' options..
[21:09] <Azlx> ok question.
[21:09] <omni> pat: err, qu'est-ce que c'est
[21:09] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  yes.. all the time
[21:09] <omni> DIFH-iceroot: thanks :)
[21:09] <DIFH-iceroot> solar_: delete splash and quit from the grub entry /boot/grub/menulist
[21:09] <dirtyhand> Anybody feel like helping me with a simple shell script that copies files?
[21:09] <DIFH-iceroot> solar_: then you see all output
[21:09] <pat__> C'EST LA PREMIÈRE FOIS QUE J'UTILISE irc, ça défile vite, je ne comprends rien...
[21:09] <DIFH-iceroot> dirtyhand: just post yur script (nopaste)

[21:10] <solar_> ssssss thank you dr, brb in a minute for further instructions
[21:10] <omni> pat_: un moment..
[21:10] <macv1> could someone check this file>>>>/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points <<<<mine is empty!!! is it normally empty?
[21:10] <badfish> how do i launch open office writer from terminal?
[21:10] <guntbert> !fr | pat__
[21:10] <dr_willis> badfish,  try oo<tab>
[21:10] <solar_> i wish to install only hardy 64 on this machine it is brand new and without an OS.
[21:10] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: think you are able to tell me how to get something a little better that 640x480 out of my screen...
[21:10] <omni> pat_: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffreepages.computers.rootsweb.ancestry.com%2F~valorie%2FIRC-Beginners.htm&lp=en_fr&btnTrUrl=Translate
[21:10] <dirtyhand> This recursive file copy script doesn't work when the filename has spaces in it like "nice icons.tiff" http://gist.github.com/15365
?
[21:10] <solar_> i hope you get my feeelings
[21:10] <ElijahDuBarryVT> do not try ubunutu 8.10 it's a big mistake :(
[21:11] <DIFH-iceroot> badfish: type openoffice
[21:11] <solar_> thank you dr willis
[21:11] <badfish> thx
[21:11] <omni> ElijahDuBarryVT: I disagree, it's great for me except a few bugs.. but wayyyy faster than 8.04
[21:11] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  i normally jist install the nvidia-glx drivers.. and restart and it sees the proper res.  if not i tweak the xorg.conf with '
[21:11] <badfish> ok this is weird
[21:11] <Tundrayeti311> ElijahDuBarryVT: Its beta...
[21:11] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  i normally jist install the nvidia-glx drivers.. and restart and it sees the proper res.  if not i tweak the xorg.conf with 'sudo nvidia-settings'
[21:11] <badfish> openoffice only prints if i run it as root
[21:11] <Azlx> im trying to get a partition mounted, whats the command for it.
[21:11] <omni> ElijahDuBarryVT: If you're having troubles with it you can always pester the devs in #ubuntu+1 ;)
[21:11] <ElijahDuBarryVT> exactly do not try beta :)
[21:11] <macv1> could someone check this file>>>>/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points <<<<mine is empty!!! is it normally empty?
[21:12] <electronplusplu> Azlx, mount
[21:12] <DIFH-iceroot> Azlx: mount /dev/... /where_it_should_be_mounted
[21:12] <Azlx> is that as root, or not as root?
[21:12] <Tybear241083> yeah... when I type sudo nvidia settings my screen and i just have a bit of a stare down and then it goes back to the promt username - desktop: thing
[21:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> Once again: Anyone knows why should the window border (Including the Title bar and buttons) dissapear after a logout - login?
[21:12] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: sorry see above
[21:13] <Azlx> i need to add files to the partition after i mount it.
[21:13] <DIFH-iceroot> Azhi_Dahaka: compizz?
[21:13] <embrik> it seems my language settings has been corrupted in one way or another - what do I do to get it right? ÆØÅ are Norwegian letters, and they appears as ';[
[21:13] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  its possible you dont have the nvidia drivers installed/or they are not being used..
[21:13] <badfish> i can only print from openoffice if i'm running it as root. any ideas how to fix this?
[21:13] <guntbert> macv1: mine is in THM0, not THRM and it is not empty
[21:14] <Azhi_Dahaka> Well, compiz comes with the system and has been enable all the time so my betshould be no
[21:14] <comicinker> can I give a command to amarok on a terminal to start playing?
[21:14] <Tybear241083> dr_willis. nope they are installed and enabled. in fact I am able to get 800X600 without them
[21:14] <macv1> guntbert: what laptop are u using?
[21:14] <DIFH-iceroot> Azhi_Dahaka: normly this i a problem with the emerald theme, had the same. i just changed the emerald theme and all was fine
[21:15] <Azhi_Dahaka> what is the emerald theme?
[21:15] <guntbert> macv1: lenovo t60
[21:15] <georgeaf> anybody getting strange output from pppd like me ?
[21:15] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  try that xrandr tool.
[21:15] <balachmar> Does someone know why openoffice sometimes insert a blank page that is invisible at first when using manual breaks?
[21:15] <macv1> guntbert: any ideas why my Acer has that file empty? i want to change the fan cutoff settings
[21:16] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: in addition I have already been the whole change the xorg.conf file by hand. I think the problem is not so much that I have bad resolution as I am running in general low graphics mode if that makes sense
[21:16] <DieseL`> anybody here know a fair bit about wine?
[21:16] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: what is the xrandr tool??
[21:16] <Guest47857> hi all, I have just installed ubuntu, and now XP cant boot. (this is bad cause all my university work is on it) any ideas?
[21:16] <embrik> I want to remove locales en_UTF-8
[21:16] <Tundrayeti311> comicinker: I'd be suprised if there wasn't, but idk offhand
[21:17] <Mixed_--_> anyone knows of an environment to create web pages for gnome???
[21:17] <bert123> hi all, I have just installed ubuntu, and now XP cant boot. (this is bad cause all my university work is on it) any ideas? <---- sorry, name changed...
[21:17] <embrik> I want to remove locales en_UTF-8 - what do I write?
[21:17] <Tybear241083> guest47857: did you make sure you didn't format the windows partition?
[21:17] <Mixed_--_> anyone knows of an environment to create web pages for gnome, something like dreamweaber for linux?
[21:17] <guntbert> macv1: sorry, no, but try googling for "acer ubuntu acpi" or so
[21:18] <DieseL`> bert123 what happens exactly why you boot?
[21:18] <DieseL`> *when
[21:18] <Tybear241083> bert123: did you make sure you didn't format the windows partition?
[21:18] <macv1> guntbert: k...
[21:18] <bert123> Tybear241083, there is something very wrong with the wondows partition now, however I can see my windows files in ubuntu
[21:18] <bert123> DieseL`, just goes stright to ubuntu, and there is no mention of windows in the grub...
[21:18] <ichbinesderelch> howto restart network daemon in ubuntu?
[21:19] <node357> Mixed_--_, try nvu or kompozer
[21:19] <genii> ichbinesderelch: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:19] <DieseL`> bert123 so the windows partition is definately there?
[21:19] <ichbinesderelch> genii: thx
[21:19] <Mixed_--_> bert123, i suggest you save you backup your windows files first before you try anything, if there are errors on the hard drive windows is very good at messing those up, back up your data first!
[21:19] <Tybear241083> bert123: did you perhaps un-check the box that said it would create a boot file. it should give you a screen called grub when you first try to boot and give you the choice of which OS to use. does it do that?
[21:19] <bert123> DieseL`, appears so... i can browse to the files through ubuntu
[21:20] <genii> ichbinesderelch: np
[21:20] <Mixed_--_> node357, thanks!  i'll check out those appz rihgt now
[21:20] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: what is the xrandr tool??
[21:20] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  xrandr is the 'name' of the  tools that let you change res onm the fly. theres several front ends to it.
[21:20] <DieseL`> bert123 do what Mixed_--_ said, backup first
[21:20] <bert123> Tybear241083, no... it gives a 3 second option to select the grub, but doesnt actully show it... just boots stright to ubuntu...
[21:21] <Kemon> Have anyone tryed VirtualBox? (like vmware)
[21:21] <dr_willis> Tybear241083,  each user under kde/gnome can have their own video res settings also. could be the user has the res selected.  I gotta run to the store.. bbl
[21:21] <Tundrayeti311> comicinker: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/extragear-multimedia/amarok/cmd-line-options.html may help you
[21:21] <AbstortedMinds> im having problems with some themes, can anyone help:  http://pastebin.com/m49208f7f
[21:22] <bert123> DieseL`, Mixed_--_ , i would love to, but i have no space, and cant get another hdd, some of the files are very important (i know i should of backed up first :(  )
[21:22] <DieseL`> bert123 when your data is backed up, have a look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and see if theres any mention of windows in there
[21:22] <Tybear241083> dr_willis: I am a newbee so I haven't heard of it. how do I start that? also, does nvidia settings normally give you some prompts and things? am I just not running it properly??
[21:22] <Kemon> try gnome-look.org for themes etc
[21:22] <tictac232434> I am having Audio problems can someone help me?
[21:22] <DieseL`> bert123 we can only assume something strange has happened during the install because ubuntu would usually find a windows partition and place an entry in the grub bootloader for it
[21:23] <Polysics> hi all
[21:23] <Polysics> quick question: is it feasible to use ubuntu off an USB key for everyday work?
[21:23] <Kemon> Did you install ubuntu or windows first?
[21:23] <Tybear241083> bert123: I agree that if you are going to do anything funny then you should back stuff up. are you able to go to the grub menu? if so you will get an option to boot from windows there
[21:24] <Polysics> which size of a key would i need? does speed matter, like those high-speed keys they sell for vista memory booost?
[21:24] <bert123> Tybear241083, DieseL` just check the grub.menu.lst file and there is no mention of windows in there...
[21:24] <bert123> *checked
[21:25] <DieseL`> so for some reason windows didn't get detected properly
[21:25] <bert123> Tybear241083, there is only the default 3 options in the grub menu when i go to it (2x ubuntu's and a mem test)
[21:26] <DieseL`> i'd suggest a reinstall of grub, but i've never managed one over the top of an existing installation
[21:26] <Tybear241083> bert123: I think something must have gone wrong with the installation. at least you can see your windows files. but, are those your doc files or are there windows system files on there too?
[21:26] <Polysics> is anyone running ubuntu off a usb thumbdrive, btw?
[21:27] <peterholgersson> gadugadu
[21:27] <vocx> Anybody knows how to free swap space on demand, say with a command? Lately I find myself filling up my RAM and swap, and this may lead to crashes, so I was thinking there would be a way to free the swap space and let it fill up again.
[21:27] <bert123> Tybear241083, there is a lot of doc's, vid's and a lot of installations (Visual Studio 2008 etc for uni), do you think its a lost cause to get it working agaain?? (if only for a while?
[21:27] <badfish> why do i have to be root to print in openoffice?
[21:27] <badfish> i don't have to do this in windows
[21:27] <thiebaude> badfish:because windows isn't secure
[21:28] <Tybear241083> bert123: is there a specific Windows folder in the files that you can see
[21:28] <badfish> what's that have to do with printing in openoffice?
[21:28] <badfish> i can print in everything else
[21:28] <scottj> What's the recommended way to authenticate a ssh key once and then have it work for the rest of the gnome session with ssh, scp, unison, etc?
[21:28] <wang> openoffice sucks :)
[21:28] <hadi57> hi, any body can help me fix the cisco aironet card, ubuntu couldnt recognize it, while pclinuxos a mandriva based live cd did and worked fine.
[21:28] <Polysics> thiebaude, you're right about that, BUT i think one should be able to print without being root :-)
[21:28] <Mixed_--_> bert123, try those free online backup webpages!  As long as you don't have any sensitive data like social security number, phone numbers, bank accounts, that is fine, if you have files for school and you lose them because of windows it could set you back a semester
[21:28] <bert123> Tybear241083, i can see every single thing on the partition...
[21:29] <Polysics> open office is more than enough for 99% of users
[21:29] <Tybear241083> bert123: did you ever partition your harddrive to install windows with the notion of keeping your docs seperate?
[21:29] <node357> bert123, some of the info here might be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[21:29] <thiebaude> !root
[21:29] <Polysics> it's just a tad slow
[21:29] <wang> I say 75% to 80%
[21:29] <wang> depend on the job
[21:29] <vocx> hadi57, boot those Oses and then check which drivers they use.
[21:29] <Mixed_--_> bert123, the easiest way to fix it is to boot your machine from a windows CD and fix the master boot record, windows will be able to boot up fine
[21:29] <Polysics> thiebaude, without using sudo then
[21:30] <Tybear241083> mixed: good idea. that could work I suppose
[21:30] <DieseL`> ubottu actuallt "sudo passwd" will set the root password ;)
[21:30] <Polysics> not that different
[21:30] <starbucks> hey anyone know why some windows keep graying out please?
[21:30] <bert123> Tybear241083, i partition the HDD when i got it. Installed windows on a 200GB partition, then kept a ~40GB partition as free space. I installed ubuntu on the free space tonight...
[21:30] <hadi57> it says aironet, but ill boot again to be more precise
[21:30] <wang> I work in IT and I use Office 20-40% fo the time
[21:30] <DieseL`> Mixed_--_ i've tried that and it has failed
[21:30] <DieseL`> previous experience
[21:30] <DieseL`> i ended up with a machine that couldn't boot in to either OS
[21:31] <bert123> Mixed_--_, i think i tried that... the windows recovier console??? it just brought me to a command prompt...
[21:31] <vocx> bert123, you should be able to run "update-grub" to redo the menu.lst and have the possibility to boot Windows. Read the manual and see what parameters you need to give.
[21:31] <knut> hi, how can i change the image of the gnome main menu button???
[21:31] <node357> bert123, from that command prompt the command fixmbr will delete Grub
[21:31] <eitreach> knut: head into gconf-editor
[21:31] <Tybear241083> bert123: try Mixed_--_'s idea. I think a recovery of windows will do the trick. also, are you running a mixture of SATA and ATA at all?
[21:31] <thiebaude> !sudo
[21:31] <Mixed_--_> DieseL, you need to mark your windows partition as active, you can boot up using any boot-up windows cd, use fdisk and set your windows partition as the active partition
[21:31] <thiebaude> the bot has it right ,lol
[21:32] <eitreach> knut: then into apps > panel, and look for object 0.
[21:32] <bert123> Tybear241083, just SATA...
[21:32] <embrik> where do I change titles on main menu in gnome? The titles are in one language and the choices are in one language
[21:32] <eitreach> knut: then check Custom Icon, and specify your image.
[21:32] <peterholgersson> gadu-gadu
[21:33] <Mixed_--_> ubottu hi
[21:33] <bert123> thanks Mixed_--_ vocx node357 and Tybear241083 for input guys...
[21:33] <DieseL`> Mixed_--_ Tybear241083 node357 i think trying to write the windows boot loader over the top of grub is potentially problematic
[21:33] <DieseL`> just from past experience
[21:33] <autojack> I'm installing ubuntu on a xen server using xen-tools. how do I specify the server versus desktop ubuntu packages?
[21:33] <knut> eitreach: i see no object 0
[21:34] <knut> eitreach: there is object 1,2,3
[21:34] <DieseL`> bah anyway, i'm going to watch some tv, ciao
[21:34] <Tanalark> can anyone help me find a way to customize my mouse buttons?  it doesn't even seem to support changing the scroll speed or the addition of a "back" button to the mouse right now.
[21:34] <Mixed_--_> Diesel, it's not problematic ive done it many times, sometimes it doesnt work because you have to set the windows partition the active partition, or unless you are experiencing hardware failure on your HD
[21:34] <eitreach> knut: look for the one with the menu object
[21:34] <peterholgersson> nbfjg
[21:35] <vocx> !mouse | Tanalark maybe this will help
[21:35] <eitreach> knut: oh, and you'll need to add a main menu. not a menu line, but a main menu..
[21:35] <eitreach> knut: before it'll work.
[21:36] <Tybear241083> diesel: well, if I were doing it and since it is a fresh ubuntu install I would do the recovery idea and just get windows to do it's thing. doesn't matter it ubuntu is taken out in the process.
[21:36] <knut> eitreach: right now i still have the normal menu like after a fresh install
[21:37] <eitreach> knut: find an empty spot on your panel, right-click and select add. There are two menus as standard - the apps / places / system-bar, and a single menu.
[21:37] <Tybear241083> bert123: Mixed_--_: Diesel: I have work in the morning so I had best get to bed. good luck!!
[21:37] <eitreach> knut: you'll want that single menu.
[21:37] <SexyKen> Anyone know how to update compiz to the latest version - not the latest ubuntu version though
[21:37] <eitreach> knut: I'm not using an english version, and can't remember the exact name.
[21:37] <knut> eitreach: done
[21:38] <SexyKen> There is a bug fix I need, but ubuntu packages aren't updated
[21:38] <MXIIA> If I already have Vista and Hardy, is it possible to create another partition for another distro?
[21:38] <eitreach> knut: then after that, head into gconf-editor and look for the panel object with menu object.
[21:38] <macd__> SexyKen, compile from source, instructions are on the Compiz projects website
[21:38] <d_dyer> Hey i am getting this error "Please Close The Other Application e.g. Update Manager,Aptitude or Synaptic First,But i am only running one not two,is there a way i can fix this,i have tried restarting
[21:38] <macd__> SexyKen, additionaly you'll need to remove the ubuntu compiz packages first
[21:38] <obi_de> bb all und gn8
[21:38] <vocx> SexyKen, all software is frozen, you need to compile if you want the latest of everything.
[21:38] <genii> !aptfix | d_dyer
[21:39] <d_dyer> Ok thanks
[21:39] <macd__> SexyKen, I would also create a bug on Launchpad, and ask for a bug fix, or a backport request.
[21:39] <Guiri> Hi
[21:39] <macd__> SexyKen, link this bug to the compiz changelog as well to indicate what this fixes.
[21:39] <Guiri> I'm having trouble with mounting cifs and sshfs via fstab
[21:39] <Guiri> has anyone done this before?
[21:39] <hadi57> vocx, i did boot form the os supporting the cisco card, and the vendor is: Aironet Wirless Communication, Module: airo, what i do now?
[21:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> i haven't installed emerald... i installed AWN, should it be the cause of my missing borders?
[21:40] <jmota> hi!
[21:40] <jmota> anyone plays america's army?
[21:40] <d_dyer> Genii:Thanks For Your Help
[21:40] <macd__> SexyKen, additionally, you can look into "apt-build" and have your apt manage your compiled comiz.
[21:40] <vocx> macd__ but since this is a Compiz bug, most probably it was already reported and fixed, I doubt such launchpad bug report would be necessary.
[21:40] <genii> d_dyer: You're welcome
[21:41] <MrKeuner> hi all, will a for loop of n loops on a quad 'some core' running Hardy run 4 times faster than a single 'some core' running on Hardy? Or do I need a special compiler on a quad core?
[21:41] <macd__> vocx, assumming its reported or fixed in ubuntu, not just upstream ;)
[21:41] <macd__> vocx, besides we all know how the bugsquad LOVES to triage 50 duplicates of the same bug
[21:42] <badfish> any ideas why i gotta run oo as root to be able to print?
[21:42] <vocx> macd__, yeah, that's what I mean, no need to report a bug of a very common program.
[21:43] <macd__> vocx, but what if its not reported at all
[21:43] <juak> hello all, need a little help with iptables please
[21:43] <vocx> hadi57, you need a little more info than that, check the kernel messages, which kernel do they use, what's the version of the module "airo" they are using, what dependencies, etcetera.
[21:44] <embrik> in what file do I change content of main menu in gnome?
[21:44] <vocx> macd__, about Compiz?! Yeah, nobody likes Compiz anyway, who would notice?
[21:44] <eitreach> embrik: you can right-click your menu and edit it that way.
[21:44] <d_dyer> How do i Find "broken Packages?"
[21:44] <eitreach> embrik: or are you looking for the config file to edit manually?
[21:44] <macd__> vocx, hehehe, like compiz crasghed with sigsev bug that has around 600 dups and 50 pages of people whining?
[21:45] <embrik> eitreach, yes
[21:45] <hadi57> how to find out that?
[21:45] <kri> hi
[21:45] <eitreach> embrik: one second.
[21:45] <vocx> macd__, exactly.
[21:45] <carsten> hi , how can i install a older version of svn with apt-get?
[21:45] <vocx> macd__, aren't those bugs reported automatically with some utility, what's it called?
[21:45] <kri> what java codec should i get 'sudo apt-get install <what packgae>' so i can play online poker
[21:46] <eitreach> embrik: ~/.config/menus/
[21:46] <juak> anybody has experience with iptables in ubuntu?
[21:46] <eitreach> embrik: gah.. I don't think it's the right one anyway. Pardon.
[21:46] <omni> I'm trying to set up a web-only kiosk. I've used debian as the base, and I need a way to make the system reboot when X dies for a certain user (or when firefox dies for that user). I notice that ubuntu automatically reboots when you end your X session - can anyone explain how I can emulate this?
[21:46] <kri> and what adobe flash player shoud i get 'sudo apt-get install <what package> so i can watch youtube/youporn?
[21:47] <embrik> eitreach, Ok - I've been there -but I'll invesitgate a bit more - the funny thing is that every choice from the main menu is in the right language, but not the titles
[21:47] <vocx> kri, if it's java, then sun-java6-jre, or maybe openjdk6 or something
[21:47] <carsten> kri use flash 10
[21:47] <Guiri> Anyone familiar with mounting samba via fstab? when I sudo mount -a it says that the line is bad but it matches the forum post and the community doc.
[21:47] <ompaul> juak, you should tell people what you want to do with them, some of us would know nothing, some would know some, and some would know a lot
[21:47] <eitreach> embrik: Have you added complete language support? Most times it's not installed completely for some reason on a regular install.
[21:48] <solar_> is dr_willis online pls
[21:48] <juak> ompaul i'm tryiing to do some routing in my network following a tutorial on the web, i have almost no experience with iptables, and i'm getting missing libraries from the iptables package
[21:48] <vocx> kri, the flash plugin is called, flash-nonfree or something like that, use synaptic to find the exact package, or from the terminal "aptitude search java" or "flash" instead
[21:49] <hadi57> vocx, how find out about the driver, what shell i type in terminal windows?
[21:49] <embrik> eitreach, don't know - I have just installed - from a usb-stick - How do I add complete language support?
[21:49] <solar_> is there anyway to bypass acpi option while booting in a laptop pls//
[21:49] <eitreach> embrik: System > Administration > Language Support
[21:49] <juak> when i try to use the "route" target i get this: "iptables v1.3.8: Couldn't load target `ROUTE':/lib/iptables/libipt_ROUTE.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[21:49] <ompaul> juak, why are you trying to build them? they are there already
[21:50] <ompaul> juak, type sudo iptables -L
[21:50] <juak> but not for my needs...i'm following a tutorial on using several outbound connections to aggregate bandwith
[21:50] <vocx> hadi57, at this point you would like to ask the guys from the other OS. Since this may change between distributions. But usually in any linux system you should be able to get sources and tell what you have installed.
[21:50] <solar_> ompaul is there any way to bypass acpi while booting into a laptop
[21:51] <ompaul> !bootoptions | solar_ read this one ;-)
[21:51] <embrik> eitreach, thanks a lot - I had been there but I thought everything was fine, because I saw my anguage as default language for new users. But language support wasn't installed
[21:51] <nach_> hi !
[21:51] <Kattollikisd> how to install the wbar in ubuntu 8.04?
[21:51] <ompaul> juak, you want to do multicasting .. now that is not something I would know how to do
[21:51] <eitreach> embrik: np. hope it works after that.
[21:51] <solar_> thank you very much
[21:51] <ompaul> with iptables at any rate
[21:51] <hadi57> if i find out, what driver, then how to install it in ubuntu?
[21:51] <nach_> where can i disable the terminal shortcut keyboard ?
[21:51] <vocx> hadi57, for instance you can search around the /usr/share/ for kernel modules or stuff. Type "dmesg" in the terminal to view the kernel messages too.
[21:52] <ompaul> solar_, that page took a lot of work :)
[21:52] <kri> what means with the flashplugin-nonfree?
[21:52] <nach_> cause when using vim, the F1 is not available whihc is bad...
[21:52] <kri> its not open source?
[21:52] <vocx> hadi57, hadi57 get the source, usually a bunch of C files and headers, and compile it on ubuntu.
[21:52] <eitreach> nach_: System > Settings > Keyboard shortcuts
[21:52] <bobertdos> nach_:  System->Preferemces->Keyboard Shortcuts
[21:52] <ompaul> kri, you don't have the freedom to do what you want with it, you don't get the source, and it is costless
[21:53] <vocx> kri, exactly, it is not free software. The free software implementation is not that good, it's called "gnash".
[21:53] <bobertdos> kri: correct
[21:53] <pippomusch> hi
[21:53] <solar_> ompaul, thanx  a lot , i'm sitting with a brand new laptop with no os , it is amd 64x2 and i've got hardy for x64
[21:53] <juak> ompaul, i haven't found anything on that approach, i don't if it would it work for my setup, i can describe it to you if it helps
[21:53] <pippomusch> !list
[21:53] <Tybear241083> k..... I am back. does anyone know how to force nvidia-settings to do what you want from the terminal. I am tearng my hair out cos I can't get to the buttons I want with my low res
[21:53] <kri> allready installed
[21:53] <hadi57> compile? i new to linux, starting to like it, in this case, i think ill be stuck, or buy another card
[21:53] <ompaul> juak, no point, I don't know how to use IPtables for multicasting
[21:53] <solar_> but it is showing kernel panic while booting in no splash mode//
[21:53] <nach_> bobertdos: thanks for trying to help, but it's not the way
[21:53] <kri> most have done this in my sleep allready.
[21:53] <juak> ok
[21:54] <kri> the tricky is how i will manage to play backgammon
[21:54] <solar_> i want only ubuntu 64 to be in my laptop that's for sure
[21:54] <ompaul> solar_, do  >>    noapic noapci
[21:54] <kri> they need windows enviroment
[21:54] <kri> vmware is it called?
[21:54] <badfish> any ideas why i gotta run oo as root to be able to print?
[21:54] <badfish> or how i can fix it?
[21:54] <juak> nevertheless the tutorial wasn't using multicasting
[21:55] <Mixed_--_> badfish go look at your configuration using the web interface and see what you find
[21:55] <juak> it was marking outgoing packets with connmark on a percentage basis
[21:55] <bobertdos> nach_: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[21:55] <juak> and then routing the packets based on the mark over the various gateways
[21:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> i haven't installed emerald... i installed AWN, should it be the cause of my missing borders?
[21:55] <badfish> Mixed_--_: in cups?
[21:56] <vocx> hadi57, it's not that hard to compile, but if you are just starting don't complicate yourself, if you think buying another card would solve your problem, then go for it. There are various options to get things done, but you need to read and investigate a little.
[21:56] <kri> the java seems not to work after closed down the firefox
[21:56] <simu> hello, my new external monitor (flat 19:8) has kinda pink color and flickers slightly
[21:57] <badfish> in allowed users in the web interface how do i separate them? commas or semicolons? spaces?
[21:57] <simu> even tough it has the right resolution (which i added by sudo aticonfig --mode2=1920x1200)
[21:57] <vocx> Anybody knows how to free swap space on demand, say with a command? Lately I find myself filling up my RAM and swap, and this may lead to crashes, so I was thinking there would be a way to free the swap space and let it fill up again.
[21:57] <Flare183> ...
[21:57] <hadi57> any site to read on how to learn the commands?
[21:57] <embrik> when I try toopen documents on my folders at work - I use sshfs to connect to the server - I can't open files with the norwegian letters æøå - does anybody know why and what I can do?
[21:57] <ompaul> !cli | hadi57
[21:57] <nach_> bobertdos: i run linux mint
[21:57] <Flare183> !anyone | vocx
[21:58] <bobertdos> nach_ Oh! Mint! Yeah, I don't know the layout of that one........haha
[21:58] <hadi57> thanks for the link ubottu
[21:58] <vocx> Flare183, what? In this case what matters is the question, the anyone part at the beginning is just a formality, c'mon
[21:58] <vocx> !bot | ha

[22:00] <Flare183> ompaul: Who?
[22:00] <Flare183> ompaul: me?
[22:00] <ompaul> Flare183, read the backscroll, you may have missed something :)
[22:01] <badfish> my error log shows "E [07/Oct/2008:16:00:06 -0500] [Job 51] No pages found!" when i try to print in openoffice as non-root
[22:01] <semtido> hi
[22:01] <Flare183> ompaul: oh ok I gotcha
[22:01] <nach_> bobertdos: thanks anyway !
[22:01] <ompaul> Flare183, and thats a yes and no ;-)

[22:02] <Flare183> lol ok
[22:02] <Mixed_--_> anyone know what's ubuntu's server flavor version???
[22:03] <vocx> Mixed_--_, flavor? Chocolate?
[22:03] <Guest49425> hello there
[22:03] <Mixed_--_> vocx, yes, something like that but not exactly, let me rephrase though
[22:04] <dbruns> how can I find out what DNS server I'm using... like in windows i do  ipconfig /all and it shows the DNS servers i'm looking at.. how do I do that on ubuntu?
[22:04] <Guest49425> guys where to find and download window-avant-navigator ???
[22:04] <cara> I accidentally deleted the /etc/postfix directory is there anyway I can get it back?
[22:04] <vocx> dbruns, "ifconfig"
[22:04] <erUSUL> cara: purging and reinstalling¿?
[22:04] <Mixed_--_> anyone knows what's ubuntu's server version???
[22:05] <dbruns> vocx: ifconfig doesn't show DNS server or gateway
[22:05] <erUSUL> !server | Mixed_--_
[22:05] <erUSUL> dbruns: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[22:05] <Mixed_--_> erusul, thanks!!!
[22:05] <Mixed_--_> erUSUL, have you ever set up a printer and file server???
[22:05] <vocx> Mixed_--_, you didn't explain it better. Everytime there is an ubuntu release there is also a server edition.
[22:05] <dbruns> erUSUL:   nothing in there other than commented out stuff
[22:05] <erUSUL> Mixed_--_: nope
[22:06] <dbruns> erUSUL:  i can't seem to resolv DNS outside of my network.. how can i fix this?
[22:06] <Mixed_--_> vocx, yes, i just realized that LoL  have you ever set up a file or printer server???
[22:06] <erUSUL> dbruns: how do you connect to internet?
[22:06] <dbruns> erUSUL:   ethernet connected to a router inside a network with a CIsco PIX firewall
[22:06] <vocx> dbruns, there is a bunch of "Network tools" in System, Administration, maybe that will help
[22:07] <dbruns> vocx: they have been no help
[22:07] <erUSUL> dbruns: dhcp? and it give you no nameservers? or static conf?
[22:07] <vocx> Mixed_--_, nope. But doesn't sound hard. Maybe samba fs and something else.
[22:07] <dbruns> erUSUL: static
[22:07] <badfish> CUPS - http://localhost:631/admin/log/error_log  gives me "E [07/Oct/2008:16:00:06 -0500] [Job 51] No pages found!" when I try to print using openoffice. Every other program prints fine. OO works if I run OO as root though. How can I fix this?
[22:08] <semtido> can anyone help me with something with banshee??
[22:08] <lirit> how can map Super_R to Control key?
[22:08] <erUSUL> dbruns: via System>Admin>Net? fill in the nameservers tab
[22:08] <dbruns> erUSUL: i didn't set it up. Someone else did.. how do you even set a static IP?
[22:08] <bobertdos> !anone | smtido
[22:08] <bobertdos> !anyone | smtido
[22:08] <dbruns> erUSUL: i don't have x windows installed

[22:08] <cara> thanks erUSUL
[22:08] <cara> I didn't think about purging
[22:08] <erUSUL> dbruns: then is editing /etc/network/interfaces
[22:08] <Mixed_--_> vocx, because im going to setup an old PII as a file and printer server, was wondering if anyone here had experience doing that, i guess ill have to wait until someone here can guide me
[22:09] <hassan_> exit
[22:09] <Mixed_--_> R_AG, try kompozer
[22:09] <erUSUL> dbruns: open the file and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com
[22:09] <vocx> lirit, use the program "xmodmap" I don't know if there is a graphical frontend though the menus or something.
[22:10] <semtido> !anyone help
[22:10] <semtido> ?
[22:10] <semtido> loool
[22:10] <semtido> i dont understand X>D
[22:10] <vocx> Mixed_--_, yes, it is a common question. It can't be that hard. But instead of waiting, browse the forums for answers. Surely it has been asked before.
[22:10] <Mixed_--_> vocx, that is what i will do, thanks
[22:10] <vocx> semtido, calm down. Be patient.
[22:10] <Mixed_--_> quit
[22:10] <semtido> im calm XD
[22:10] <bobertdos> semtido: We mean to say that you don't have to ask permission to ask a question, just go ahead and ask.
[22:10] <semtido> ok
[22:11] <semtido> anyone knows why banshee won't sort the library by album, or artist, or whatever?
