[03:03] <keevie> grr, can anyone help me with my sound in ubuntu? i think it may be related to amarok, but about once every two days it just dies and i have to restart

[03:03] <ecret> hmw: as soon as the file manager pops up, i see it a split half second then firefox crashes
[03:04] <leeroy> should i be able to open ports in firestarter is my main problem
[03:04] <fearful> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126116/
[03:04] <hmw> ecret: do other apps crash, when you use "save as"?
[03:05] <Cpudan80> Hey
[03:05] <ecret> hmw: ...damn yes
[03:05] <Cpudan80> I need to find the MAC address of my access point that is nearby (cant connect to it)
[03:05] <Cpudan80> any ideas how to do that?
[03:05] <hmw> ecret: I am reading this at the moment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/288529
[03:05] <ecret> hmw: i use emacs so rarely use save as. this stinks
[03:05] <horndog> leeroy, What ports do you what open?
[03:06] <crdlb> Cpudan80: iwlist <interface> scan?
[03:06] <ubp123> with ubuntu,,why my opera in japanese shown wrong while the same with fedora in good order ??
[03:07] <leeroy> there just ports for playing and old game that i have 2300-2400 but i have a dmz to my laptop and the eth of the laptop to the comp is  it to do with nat ???
[03:07] <ecret> hmw: every program that has save as it crashes.  Yet I can browse OK using the file manager . just not with save as where it crashes
[03:07] <hmw> ecret: what is your language setting in ubuntu?
[03:07] <ecret> hmw: english
[03:08] <horndog> leeroy, Do you have a router set to DHCP?
[03:08] <nightrid3r> ubp123 try #ubuntu-jp it will be easy
[03:08] <Guest51473> is there a program that will allow you to own an aim chatroom for ubuntu?
[03:08] <ubp123> perhaps japanese at present originally american lol
[03:08] <opera> ubp123, why not use firefox?
[03:08] <zerocomm> hey i have a quick question, my girlfriends ubuntu box froze for the first time in ages and now her resolution is all messed up. if i was there i could fix the xorg.conf but im in a diff state. is there someway to automatically fix the resolution? she can't pick options from the menu in gnome because theres not enough space in the screen
[03:08] <ubp123> firefox is a bit slow with ubuntus
[03:08] <keevie> i have some more userful error messages:E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy

[03:09] <holyguyver> I was in firefox watching a youtube video & then firefox froze this horrible 'etetetetetetetetetet" sound is stuck playing, I killed off firefox, but the sound remains & when I try to open a terminal the terminal freezes at startup &thus I cannot type anything into it. What happened & how can I fix it?
[03:09] <leeroy> yep on the wireless side but manual on the eth side i could connect to xbox live using the same method ???
[03:09] <ecret> zerocomm tell her to hold shift and drag the window
[03:09] <keevie> from trying to restart pulseaudio in /etc/init.d
[03:09] <dieselsmoke> Cpudan80: read the router's label it will show the hardware address
[03:09] <hmw> ecret: More details, please: CPU type, Ubuntu version, RAM size, unusual changes to the Gnome UI, maybe you remember, what you isntalled, before the bug appeared?
[03:09] <storbeck> zerocomm: SSH to her box and run the xorg reconfigure
[03:09] <zerocomm> thanks ecret
[03:09] <leeroy> with my 360 obv lol
[03:09] <horndog> leeroy, do you have your ports forwarded in the router?
[03:10] <zerocomm> ecret: where should she drag the window from?
[03:10] <zerocomm> what do you mean
[03:10] <fearful> Pici: any ideas?
[03:10] <storbeck> zerocomm: just run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[03:10] <armence> So, question for everyone. I want to ensure that only people with the root password will be able to perform administrative tasks. (It's just me for now, but I foresee adding an anonymous account soon) How can I do that?
[03:10] <Cpudan80> dieselsmoke: yeah I got it - thanks
[03:10] <leeroy> i have DMZ on the router (demilitarized zone)
[03:10] <Pici> fearful: What does apt-cache policy perl-base say?
[03:10] <ecret> hmw i have used ubuntu for a year now , got hardy heron, 64bit, 4gigs ram.  Kde.  I recently installed a kde svn ide plugin similar to tortoise.
[03:10] <dieselsmoke> zerocomm: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:11] <leeroy> to the wireless of the laptop
[03:11] <keevie> armence, type sudo visudo, that file specifies who has root
[03:11] <ubp123> with ubunts anybody can have sudo root password automatically..
[03:11] <horndog> leeroy,  are using your computer as a server?
[03:11] <ecret> zerocomm: err yeah sorry their right.  incidentally i was thinking of alt, not shift.
[03:11] <keevie> ubottu, well, not exactly automatically
[03:11] <fearful> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126117/
[03:11] <leeroy> no just a typical xp install
[03:12] <hmw> ecret: Hmm. I don't know KDE nor Gnome internals. If youre lucky, you find hints in the log files and you could also run a program with strace to see, where the crash happenes.
[03:12] <ubp123> i cannot tell the boundary between servers and desktop or the master or the slave lol
[03:12] <dieselsmoke> armence: adduser username admin  or run visudo
[03:12] <keevie> erg, can anyone help me with my seemingly messed up sound stuff?
[03:12] <hogwash> hi
[03:12] <ecret> hmw: I will go on a uninstalling rampage
[03:12] <zerocomm> ecret - any way to do it without alt? shes running an apple keyboard and alt is a little bit sketchy lol
[03:12] <hogwash> i just installed my wireless atheros drivers, they were working great,  now after i rebooted, the signal strenth is half as it was previously
[03:13] <hogwash> whats the big idea.
[03:13] <[Tequila]> Just intalled 8.10 server edition and created a locked directory... Please inform me on how to mount/unlock it
[03:13] <armence> dieselsmoke: I just ran visudo. How should I modify it?
[03:13] <hmw> ecret: A svn version sounds suspicious, naturally. Uninstalling might help. You might consider reinstalling Ubuntu. Try strace <program> in a shell and look at the output.
[03:13] <hogwash> my laptop didnt change location
[03:13] <horndog> leeroy, No. I mean is  your game setup as a server or just a single player?
[03:13] <ecret> hmw: i am not familair with reinstalling ubuntu.  Will I lose my user settings or programs if I upgrades say to 8.10?
[03:14] <keevie> armence, to give a user root, root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[03:14] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i set DNS manually with ubuntu server?
[03:14] <leeroy> o sorry im useing gamespy to connect to others serving and me serving doesnt work either
[03:14] <keevie> armence, replace root with the username
[03:14] <horndog> leeroy, You don't need ports open to play as a single player
[03:14] <Pici> fearful: Where did you get -19?
[03:14] <hmw> ecret: I was talking about a complete wipe of the system. You could keep the home dirs, but that might be unwise, since there are configuration data in there, too. You could try to create a new user and test, if the bug appears in the new context.
[03:14] <narothepharoh> how do I burn a true mp3 cd in k3b or other?

[03:14] <leeroy> i know its online play i want to do
[03:14] <ubp123> why i cannot peep the newest version 8.10 with my old version ubuntu web browser ?
[03:15] <armence> keevie: Isn't there a way for me to just set a password for root and then be required to enter the root password no matter what the current account is?
[03:15] <dieselsmoke> armence: under user priveleges add this line- root ALL=(ALL) ALL
[03:15] <keevie> dieselsmoke, youre a bit late, lol
[03:15] <[Tequila]> Just intalled 8.10 server edition and created a locked directory... Please inform me on how to mount/unlock it
[03:15] <keevie> armence, not really, there isnt a root user in ubuntu

[03:15] <Aquina> I' running Linux for months now and always have some noise/hiss when listening to something. It's especially when reducing the volume. Doesn't amtter wether I use ALSA or OSS.
[03:15] <dean> keevie: yes there is it is just locked
[03:15] <casinowarren> keeps syaing something about permissions
[03:15] <Aquina> Any ideas?
[03:15] <horndog> leeroy,  Still, you don't need ports open to play online. Only so serve
[03:15] <fearful> Pici: from the perl website
[03:16] <keevie> dean, what do you mean, locked?
[03:16] <ubp123> yess the old ubuntus admin recognition program might have a dobut in a bug ??? lol
[03:16] <fearful> Pici: or the debian package website, don't remember
[03:16] <Comrade-Sergei> I just installed ubuntu server and for whatever reason it didnt grab the dns from DHCP , how do i set it manually?
[03:16] <Nytrix> is there a way to start ubuntu under "safe mode" like windows?
[03:16] <narothepharoh> how do I burn a true mp3 cd in k3b or other?
[03:16] <leeroy> ye but i cant connect to others ???
[03:16] <dean> keevie: there is no password set, but you can enable it by doing sudo passwd root
[03:16] <keevie> interesting
[03:16] <hoangdt> exit
[03:16] <horndog> leeroy,  I do it all the time with UT2004
[03:16] <tritium> keevie: but it is not recommended
[03:16] <keevie> dean, thanks, thats helpful

[03:17] <leeroy> and firestarter ???
[03:17] <keevie> i've always thought it was a bit strange that there was no root user, i guess for noobish people its not good to give them root for everything
[03:17] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, thats what i thought, but there isnt one
[03:17] <zerocomm> does anybody know how to resize the resolution automatically ???
[03:17] <fearful> Pici: any fixable way of just removing without a re-install
[03:17] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, i tried to make one and it didnt help
[03:18] <Nytrix> is there a way to start ubuntu under "safe mode" like windows?
[03:18] <dieselsmoke> keevie: adduser name admin is faster/safer
[03:18] <armence> dean: I did unlock the root account and set a password for it. How do I basically allow anyone to temporarily be root? Logging out and then back in is too much of a pain...
[03:18] <[Tequila]> Just intalled 8.10 server edition and created a locked directory... Please inform me on how to mount/unlock it .. whats the proper command <<<<<<<<
[03:18] <hmw> ecret: start some gui app from the terminal with strace <appname> and make it crash. You should see, what subprogram crashes. You can pastebin the last pages of the strace output, so I can examine it.
[03:18] <armence> dean: Anyone with the root password that is
[03:18] <dean> Nytrix: there is recovery mode which drops you to a root shell
[03:18] <dean> armence: su
[03:18] <horndog> leeroy, That is the front end to IPtables and you can open ports with firestarter
[03:18] <sprinkmeier> Nytrix, ubuntu is always safe:-) do you mean single user mode?
[03:18] <hmw> ecret: dont try this with firefox, use som smaller app
[03:18] <ubp123> that's rude if all newbies were looked down as bad as not adequate root holders lol
[03:18] <ecret> hmw: was inthe process of doing that :> tho i used firefox. il try a smaller app
[03:18] <narothepharoh> how do I burn a true mp3 cd in k3b or other?
[03:18] <Nytrix> i dont know
[03:19] <horndog> !firestarter | leeroy
[03:19] <dieselsmoke> armence: add the user to the admin group gives them sudo power, dont enable root account.
[03:19] <hmw> ecret: my pc is about to crash, i did it with FF. LOL
[03:19] <whitedoor> any idea as to why ubuntu might crash 5 seconds after the 'boot' if finished?
[03:19] <fearful> Cpudan80: I think I'm just going to remove it, if I install it again will it install the programs itll remove?
[03:19] <sprinkmeier> !burn | narothepharoh
[03:19] <whitedoor> *is finished
[03:19] <leeroy> i have taken all the nessary steps in my eyes but it keeps sayin connection refused in the log
[03:19] <dean> Usually it is better to do it using sudo though and the admin group
[03:19] <Nytrix> narothepharoh, be more specific
[03:19] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> <-- put in /etc/resolv.conf (addjust ip)
[03:19] <dean> why is it called admin instead of wheel
[03:19] <Cpudan80> fearful: i suppose ... might not be able to remove it though
[03:20] <armence> dieselsmoke: Why is that better?
[03:20] <warriorforgod> _VIM_: Figured out my vim problem
[03:20] <_VIM_> what was it?
[03:20] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, recent changes? bad HW?
[03:20] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, i did it didnt help, however there is a folder in there called resolvconf
[03:20] <ubp123> white door,, i got the same rebooting with my another machine lol
[03:20] <horndog> leeroy, What game are you playing?
[03:20] <[Tequila]> How do i mount a eCryptfs locked dir ?
[03:20] <dieselsmoke> armence: its easier than editting sudoers
[03:20] <leeroy> commandos 2 with gamespy
[03:20] <warriorforgod> _VIM_: If I run it with vim -X it starts up fine.  It has something to do with the $DISPLAY setting
[03:20] <_VIM_> ah
[03:20] <dieselsmoke> armence: make sure sudoers is chmod'd 440 too.
[03:20] <fearful> Cpudan80: this is going to remove pretty  much my whole gnome
[03:21] <fearful> Cpudan80: :(
[03:21] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei weird, that was the contents of my resolv.conf and it works for me
[03:21] <whitedoor> sprinkmeier: if I do a rescue boot and type startx ... X works.. but if I boot normally the system locks after gdm starts
[03:21] <horndog> leeroy,  Is there a master server for that game?
[03:21] <tritium> horndog, leeroy: please stay on topic (ubuntu support)
[03:21] <armence> dieselsmoke: I already activated the root account though...
[03:21] <Dr_Sneese> I'm trying to compile wine cvs, but i keep getting this error 'configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built. Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.' I'm noob, and have no idea how to get around this. Any help please?
[03:21] <RickX> can someone point me to some help with samba? When I try to mount homes through Nautilus, I get an error syaing Nautilus can't mount the share.
[03:21] <leeroy> noits way to old for that it uses direct play
[03:21] <storbeck> tritium: Are you an OP?
[03:21] <dieselsmoke> armence: it can be deactivated.
[03:21] <whitedoor> so next I disabled gdm and it still locks after the text login appears.
[03:21] <keres_> how do you change the enviroment editor from vim to something else?
[03:21] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, what's your display resolution on the rescue boot?
[03:21] <keres_> in a shell
[03:21] <hmw> whitedoor: sounds like you see the desktop for 5 seconds? looks like some panel app or other auto-start things. Check out the autostarts (cant tell where you need to click, i just killed my ubuntu)
[03:22] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, do you start X as root? is gdm configured for network logon?
[03:22] <RickX> I can get thre through smb:/server/username
[03:22] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, are you using supported modes?
[03:22] <tritium> storbeck: why?
[03:22] <onats> hi, on the network connections screen, how do i add a vpn connection? I am unable to as the add button is greyed out
[03:22] <whitedoor> yeah if I start X as root it will boot fine
[03:22] <storbeck> tritium: I was curious about how I could become an op
[03:22] <onats> !VPN
[03:22] <armence> dieselsmoke: how?
[03:22] <casinowarren> does the gksu nautilus feature work on kubuntu?
[03:22] <dieselsmoke> keres_: change environment variable
[03:22] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, some service that only runs in multi-user mode?
[03:22] <ecret> hmw : gedit=http://pastebin.com/d48ce2728          firefox=http://pastebin.com/m17a54030
[03:22] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, it will not go to the internet...
[03:22] <fearful> Pici: if I reinstall libperl5.10 will it reinstall all the programs it will automatically remove?
[03:23] <whitedoor> but even when I disable gdm and it boots to the text login screen... it locks about 5 seconds after the login appears
[03:23] <whitedoor> yeah dunno
[03:23] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, but it will go to the router
[03:23] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, RAM use? maybe boot live CD and run memory check
[03:23] <leeroy> this is ubuntu support
[03:23] <tritium> storbeck: you would be asked after a long period of continual contirbutions to the channel.  You don't ask.
[03:23] <horndog> leeroy,  Apparently firestarter is no on topic on this channel
[03:23] <keres_> dieselsmoke: yeah, from vim to gedit or something
[03:23] <whitedoor> I did that
[03:23] <whitedoor> ram was fine
[03:23] <horndog> leeroy, not
[03:23] <storbeck> tritium: Sounds good
[03:23] <ubp123> to me..what's the black list computers for my ubuntu os.. because at my initial loading my ubuntu advising me of such black list availability to my compuer althoug icould not peep it lol
[03:23] <ecret> leeroy another way is just to change the iptables , add the ports you need.
[03:24] <narothepharoh> Nytrix: I want to make a cd with more than the usual 80 minutes worth of music
[03:24] <dieselsmoke> armence: passwd -l root
[03:24] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, do you have a ~/.Xsession(s) file?
[03:24] <levarnu> Anyone have much luck using ubuntu for streaming DV from a camcorder? I'm losing a bet because Windows, so far, is doing a better job.
[03:24] <leeroy> ok thanks anyway and that can be an awkward task no ???
[03:24] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, restricted graphics drivers? (sorry, getting deperate here...)
[03:24] <whitedoor> as I said... X works.
[03:24] <ubp123> nope,, Whitedoor, i checked my Xsession file..nothing written by me lol
[03:25] <horndog> leeroy, Good luck
[03:25] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, should i restart the interface?
[03:25] <leeroy> thx
[03:25] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei could help yes
[03:25] <dieselsmoke> keres_: try this its easiest, sudo update-alternatives –config editor
[03:25] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, log messages? does REISUB work?
[03:25] <Nytrix> narothepharoh, well u do know how to burn mp3s?
[03:25] <MSabino-ubuntu> but do you ahve the Xsession file?
[03:25] <MSabino-ubuntu> *have
[03:25] <casinowarren> can someone help me with my fairly miniscule problem
[03:25] <storbeck> !ask | casinowarren
[03:25] <sprinkmeier> !ask | casinowarren
[03:25] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, what ver of ubuntu is this?
[03:26] <whitedoor> 8.10
[03:26] <storbeck> sprinkmeier: I won :P
[03:26] <whitedoor> I just installed it clean
[03:26] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, is this a fresh install?
[03:26] <johnjohn101> is there a package for beneath a steel sky for ubuntu?
[03:26] <MSabino-ubuntu> hmmm
[03:26] <sprinkmeier> storbeck, not on my screen! (network latency?)
[03:26] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, how do i restart it, i cant just go up down as im connected via ssh
[03:26] <storbeck> Hehe
[03:26] <dieselsmoke> keres_: you don't want gedit in a terminal, use vi, emacs, nano curses based editors
[03:26] <casinowarren> i'm trying to install my fonts on kubuntu...but don't have permissions
[03:26] <storbeck> casinowarren: Use sudo
[03:26] <whitedoor> yeah fresh install of ubuntu 8.10
[03:26] <Nytrix> narothepharoh, u want an mp3 only cd?
[03:26] <ubp123> aint point single is the finale goal i thought lol
[03:27]  * _VIM_ stands behind dieselsmoke in that vote
[03:27] <narothepharoh> Nytrix: I know how to burn a cd with the typical 80 minutes but yes all files are mp3 k3b just goes by time or something and i cant find any option to make mp3 cd only data
[03:27] <casinowarren> ok let me see if that works
[03:27] <planetbeing> Sorry if I'm butting in, but has anyone installed Ubuntu on MacBookAir,12?
[03:27] <whitedoor> as you can tell I'm in X and its working but I'm currently logged in as root from the rescue mode
[03:27] <dieselsmoke> Nytrix: brasero does mp3 burns well.
[03:27] <whitedoor> if I do the standard boot it locks
[03:27] <planetbeing> err, MacBookAir1,2*
[03:27] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, if you tell k3b you're burning an audoi CD it automatically 'extracts' the MP3s. Burn a data CD.
[03:27] <ubp123> butting?
[03:27] <hmw> ecret: Hmm. there is some "Resource temporarily unavailable" - might indicate file system problems, but that's just a guess. Checking the file system shouldnt do any harm. Can you give me more of the output?
[03:27] <casinowarren> what is the right code? because i used nautilus
[03:27] <casinowarren> or is that the same one
[03:28] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei you'll lose connection anyway but sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 & should do it
[03:28] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, can you check the xorg log file? it's probably in /var/log
[03:28] <Nytrix> just open cd and drag and drop mp3 files in there
[03:28] <ubp123>  using UPull computer with Ubuntu ?
[03:28] <ohzie> Is there any reason that locate wouldn't search certain places?
[03:28] <_VIM_> yep
[03:28] <ohzie> I know I have these files but I cannot find them. :[
[03:28] <storbeck> casinowarren: What do you mean?
[03:28] <java> hello
[03:28] <_VIM_> ohzie: sudo updatedb first and use sudo
[03:28] <ohzie> _VIM_, tride that
[03:28] <ohzie> tried* wow
[03:28] <ohzie> I'm just blown away
[03:29] <storbeck> ohzie: What are you looking for?
[03:29] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, live CD? fresh 8.10 not working (except when X is running as root) is a new one for me.
[03:29] <ohzie> A movie
[03:29] <_VIM_> hmm that should work
[03:29] <ubp123> why most referring only vim ?
[03:29] <spill> anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher?
[03:29] <storbeck> ohzie: find / -type -f -name yourmovie
[03:29] <narothepharoh> sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine???
[03:29] <casinowarren> in ubuntu i used alt+f2 and typed in gksu nautilus
[03:29] <ubp123> to vim lol
[03:29] <planetbeing> For some reason, when I try to boot Ubuntu on MacBookAir1,2, the kernel doesn't quite get started. Things seem to crash after it tries to change video modes. The screen is black and the MacBook Air starts making scary beeping noises.
[03:29] <whitedoor> live CD wouldn't work at all
[03:29] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, there should be a single file in /var/log called Xorg.0.log
[03:29] <sprinkmeier> nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei use ; not &!!
[03:29] <whitedoor> so I installed it
[03:29] <casinowarren> and that opend my root permissions
[03:29] <casinowarren> not working on kubuntu
[03:29] <fearful> Pici: If I download perl-base5.10-11 and install that instead of -19 will it fix?
[03:29] <Comrade-Sergei> sprinkmeier, too late
[03:29] <whitedoor> yeah I found the log
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> scroll to the bottom of the logfile, whiteboor
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> *whitedoor
[03:30] <Pici> fearful: I don't know
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> sorry
[03:30] <MSabino-ubuntu> heh
[03:30] <FloodBot3> MSabino-ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:30] <ecret> hmw: ok i will get the entire log
[03:30] <sprinkmeier> nightrid3r, Comrade-Sergei & means 'start these at the same time", you get a race condition. ; means "start one after another
[03:30] <whitedoor> heh
[03:30] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, nope still says "connect: network is unreachable"
[03:30] <whitedoor> yeah at the bottom of the log
[03:30] <spill> anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome?
[03:30] <whitedoor> no errors or anything
[03:30] <Comrade-Sergei> sprinkmeier, duly noted
[03:30] <nightrid3r> oh
[03:30] <whitedoor> but I am in X atm so ...
[03:30] <ubp123> i thought anytime the file of xorg.0.log should be erased by myself lol
[03:30] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, live CD not working == HW does not like Ubuntu, no wonder it's acting up......
[03:31] <hmw> ecret: wait a sec
[03:31] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, look above it a couple times, and see if you see any failed attempts
[03:31] <fearful> Pici: will it be bad if I completely remove it?
[03:31] <tavis> irc.adjects.com
[03:31] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, there should be certain string's that repeat over and over, like your display driver version string
[03:31] <nightrid3r> Comrade-Sergei sounds like a routing problem, is the gateway ip the one of your modem
[03:31] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, however i can still obviously ssh in locally
[03:31] <whitedoor> nope
[03:31] <narothepharoh> sprinkmeier: I tried to do to do that but it wont play in my car stereo and i have an mp3 cd i made from windows way back with like 200 songs on it and it works fine???
[03:31] <MSabino-ubuntu> whitedoor, once per startx attempt
[03:31] <whitedoor> nvidia
[03:31] <spill> anyone have a good sugestion for a 3d laucher for gnome?
[03:32] <storbeck> spill: What do you mean by 3d launcher?
[03:32] <Comrade-Sergei> nightrid3r, well theres a wireless router between them that acts as a wired switch as well
[03:32] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, you're running X as root, not as user.
[03:32] <whitedoor> yes
[03:32] <_VIM_> !repeat > spill
[03:32] <whitedoor> I'm running X as root
[03:32] <ubp123> and perhaps you can edit your xorg.conf with vim lol
[03:32] <ohzie> _VIM_, I found it, it was on a usb hard drive
[03:32] <ohzie> apparently updatedb doesn't look at those
[03:32] <ohzie> >:|
[03:32] <lasivian> what is a good portable MP3 player that is ubuntu "happy"?
[03:32] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, examine the mp3 CD, does it need a special format? heck, if windows works for you, use that :-)
[03:32] <hmw> ecret: i guess, youre getting the output by selecting the stuff in the terminal? if so, just type "-------------------" to mark the location, before using "ave as".
[03:32] <_VIM_> udb123 haha
[03:32] <storbeck> ohzie: Please do not confuse locate with find
[03:32] <ohzie> storbeck, What's the difference?
[03:33] <_VIM_> ohzie: glad you found it
[03:33] <ecret> hmw ok and yes i am copy pasting
[03:33] <lasivian> storbeck: I hate that, I do it constantly, heh
[03:33] <ubp123> ohh hi, i didnt know of your name being _VIM...sorry and hi
[03:33] <_VIM_> hehe hiya :)
[03:33] <spill> storbeck: I'm looking for an alternative to awn.
[03:33] <sprinkmeier> whitedoor, no error logs.. works as root but not user... sorry, I'm out if ideas/suggestions (other than change HW to something the live-CD likes)
[03:34] <_VIM_> spill cairo-dock
[03:34] <_VIM_> needs compiz though

[03:34] <narothepharoh> sprinkmeier: Dude I havent used windows in years just using it as an example in hopes that you would understand my question and have an answer so there is no need to be rude just tell me you dont know how to do that... Thanks anyway
[03:34] <_VIM_> or some other compositing window manager
[03:34] <spill> _VIM_: cool, I'll check it out, I'm runing compiz now anyways.
[03:34] <_VIM_> spill you'll love it
[03:34] <whitedoor> "ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon"
[03:34] <jeeves> has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card?
[03:34] <planetbeing> One more try: No one has a comment about my MacBookAir1,2 issue? Any idea where I can get help with my issue?
[03:35] <narothepharoh> so does anybody know a way to burn a mp3 cd with more than the typical 80 minutes of songs?
[03:35] <cdm10> narothepharoh: an mp3 CD should have way more than 80 minutes on it...
[03:35] <cdm10> 80 minutes is like a standard audio CD.
[03:35] <_VIM_> spill make sure you get the cairo themes though, the one by default is kinda plain
[03:35] <nightrid3r> narothepharoh burn it as a data cd not as audio
[03:35] <cdm10> narothepharoh: how are you burning?
[03:35] <Comrade-Sergei> test
[03:36] <Titan8990> Comrade-Sergei, working
[03:36] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, yes, burn it as a data cd. the problem seems to be that your car player cannot read/understand them, so maybe the question is "how do I format a data CD which happens to hold MP3's so that my car player can read it?"
[03:36] <spill> _VIM_: k, thanks, screenshots look sweet.
[03:36] <narothepharoh> cdm10: I am using k3b and yes i understand that
[03:36] <Titan8990> Comrade-Sergei, in the future, you can use !test
[03:36] <ecret> hmw : http://pastebin.com/m4f3a06a2
[03:36] <Titan8990> !test | Comrade-Sergei
[03:36] <MSabino-ubuntu> narothepharoh, burn as a data cd... just burn the files to disc as you would any other group of files... the mp3 player will find the files in the root of the cd, and play them
[03:36] <fearful> Titan8990: hey
[03:36] <Titan8990> fearful, hiya
[03:36] <jeeves> has anyone found a way of getting Kismet to work with an Intel 3945ABG card?
[03:37] <narothepharoh> ok sprinkmeier how do i do that??
[03:37] <Titan8990> fearful, was helping you before I went to work, right?
[03:37] <sprinkmeier> narothepharoh, look at the MP3 CD you burns in windows and try to duplicate the format.

[03:37] <zelrikriando> ubp123, ?
[03:38] <storbeck> java: mysql -u java -p     then type in your password when it prompts you for it

[03:38] <MagicDuck> hi, I need to install the nvidia 173.14.16 from jaunty (it contains a fix that makes KDE4 work better from what I hear). How would I go about that. I am currently running interpid.
[03:38] <hmw> ecret: please pastebin the file /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh  (you can install pastebinit)
[03:38] <_VIM_> MagicDuck: bad idea
[03:38] <dieselsmoke> java: use the -p flag
[03:39] <kitche> MagicDuck: have to install the driver by hand use envy-ng if you must
[03:39] <MagicDuck> envy-ng does not have it
[03:40] <kitche> MagicDuck: then go to the nvidia site download the driver and compile with the kernel header sources
[03:40] <java> nightrid3r no i didnt
[03:40] <ecret> hmw : http://pastebin.com/m7e4d09c1
[03:41] <MagicDuck> I just thought there was an easier way using the binaries from jaunty
[03:41] <nightrid3r> java create the user like storbeck said
[03:41] <kitche> MagicDuck: different kernel versions
[03:41] <casinowarren> what sudo text do i use to access my root permissions in kubuntu?
[03:41] <storbeck> casinowarren: sudo -i
[03:42] <casinowarren> thanks
[03:42] <Brando753> anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;(
[03:42] <storbeck> Brando753: Maybe it's not plugged in
[03:42] <Brando753> its built in the laptop
[03:42] <casinowarren> and that allows me to access the root folder and make changes to my shared files, like gimp and fonts
[03:42] <Brando753> and works fine with windows
[03:42] <storbeck> Maybe you have the wrong drivers
[03:43] <Brando753> maby, were would a get a driver for my kaptops mike
[03:43] <maxagaz> should "aptitude full-upgrade" replace "aptitude upgrade" and "aptitude dist-upgrade" ?
[03:43] <storbeck> Brando753: If you continue asking generic questions, I'm not going to be able to help you
[03:43] <java> nightrid3r java@rewati-laptop:~$  mysql -u java -p

[03:43] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: right click volume, preferences, options, choose mic input, may work.
[03:44] <storbeck> Brando753: What kind of driver is it? Have you configured it? What distro are you on? etc etc
[03:44] <java> nightrid3r i didnt made any user
[03:44] <storbeck> Err, version* I'd hope you're on ubuntu :P
[03:44] <niku> maxagaz, there's a do-release-upgrade that's the newish way to do it. iirc
[03:45] <java> storbeck yeah its ubuntu
[03:45] <gaintsura> how do I mark a package for install/delete/update/upgrade in aptitude textmode?
[03:45] <Brando753> alright, i have a pavilion entertainment dv5 pc, i am running ubuntu 8.10. i have not manually installed any drivers. this mike is intergrated as part of a camera built into the laptop, the camera works but the mike dosent :P
[03:45] <storbeck> java: That is not really an ubuntu specific question. You might want to try #mysql
[03:45] <nightrid3r> java lemme check
[03:45] <maxagaz> !do-release-upgrade
[03:45] <java> nightrid3r ok thanks
[03:45] <kitche> java: you do not have a mysql user named java
[03:46] <java> kitche no
[03:46] <java> kitche how to make that
[03:46] <nightrid3r> java http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/04/17/create-mysql-user-accounts-from-the-command-line/
[03:46] <storbeck> Brando753: open up alsa and make sure input or capture doesn't say 'MM'
[03:46] <qcjn> got a update error http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1352436
[03:47] <Brando753> alsa?
[03:47] <hmw> ecret: sorry, I can't see anything in the log. You probably messed up your system with the mentioned installs, you did recently. Maybe uninstalling helps.
[03:47] <storbeck> Brando753: Yes, alsa

[03:50] <mezquitale> storbeck, ok let me rephrase that question, can someone recommmend a phone that is supported by ***ubuntu***

[03:50] <mezquitale> nightrid3r, thanks, ill look it up and see if it meets my specs
[03:51] <RPS> gaintsura, hmw  well I followed a link that I was given https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB and I knocked out some of the stuff it asked me to do, but I have a question about some other parts of it. I'll work it up and post it in a minute.
[03:51] <storbeck> mezquitale: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmbeddedUbuntu
[03:51] <gaintsura> ok, RPS what are you trying to accomplish first
[03:51] <asdasdqwerwer> ......
[03:52] <drmamamaannana> ??
[03:52] <casinowarren> still can't access my root folder to import new fonts and scripts
[03:52] <RPS> make the USB work when I run XP in vb
[03:52] <RPS> I want to know if I need to finish with the part that follows ...In order to give users in the vboxusers group write permissions to the devices in /proc/bus/usb, you'll need to edit some rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.
[03:52] <coreyman> casinowarren
[03:52] <Brando753> any help
[03:52] <coreyman> hey
[03:52] <gaintsura> oh
[03:52] <RPS> vboxusers group ...what are they talking about? I'm new to virtual machines
[03:52] <casinowarren> what's up coreyman?
[03:52] <coreyman> sudo ~/.fonts
[03:53] <gaintsura> RPS: that was pretty easy for me.. I didn't have any isses
[03:53] <casinowarren> ok
[03:53] <mezquitale> storbeck, that's nice, now can i just get a phone model or name that i can buy, i dont have to spend all my time reading all that stuff, all i want is a phone that will work on ubuntu. PERIOD.
[03:53] <gaintsura> RPS make a new group called vboxusers
[03:53] <RPS> gaintsura, I'm all new to virtual machines
[03:53] <gaintsura> RPS: then assign that group read/write/exec access to the folder where your vb location is
[03:53] <sophia> Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2    is that i have software rendering?
[03:53] <RPS> open vb I assume?
[03:53] <gaintsura> no
[03:53] <casinowarren> i type that into a konsole right?
[03:53] <Brando753> alright, i have a pavilion entertainment dv5 pc, i am running ubuntu 8.10. i have not manually installed any drivers. this mike is intergrated as part of a camera built into the laptop, the camera works but the mike dosent :P anyone know what to do?
[03:54] <sophia> anyone can help me?  if opengl renderer string is:  Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2    is that i have software rendering?
[03:54] <RPS> did you visit the link I posted?
[03:54] <storbeck> mezquitale: If you would have actually read it, you would have seen this link http://www.muru.com/linux/omap/devices/
[03:54] <gaintsura> RPS: yes
[03:54] <RPS> it makes more sense in the correct context
[03:54] <Absolute0> Does synaptics use aptitude or apt-get?
[03:55] <gaintsura> RPS: indeed, so the vboxusers group is a group of users who will have access to the virtualboxes
[03:55] <crdlb> Absolute0: it uses libapt
[03:55] <Absolute0> oh
[03:55] <mezquitale> storbeck, sorry, i didnt have the patience for that, my phone just died today, i could never get it to work with ubuntu anyway, this time i am getting a phone that works with ubuntu so i never have to boot up to redmond ever again
[03:55] <gaintsura> RPS: you can either make that group its own group or use an existing group as specified by cat /etc/group from the terminal
[03:55] <Absolute0> crdlb: I've been told not to mix the two together
[03:55] <crdlb> Absolute0: which two?
[03:56] <Absolute0> So I am curious what to use in the console to undo what synaptics did
[03:56] <Absolute0> crdlb:  apt-get and aptitude
[03:56] <RPS> gaintsura, I'm lost bud
[03:56] <storbeck> All three use libapt, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic
[03:56] <crdlb> I would guess synaptic is closer to apt-get in behavior
[03:57] <crdlb> but that's just a guess
[03:57] <storbeck> Absolute0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7708
[03:58] <Unirgy> hi, how do i fix alsa permissions?

[04:10] <pieces> My bar at the top of my screen that lets me get to all of my programs disappeared... can someone help me?
[04:11] <dieselsmoke> Comrade-Sergei: open system/admin/software sources, check all repo's and choose a fast mirror. then update and upgrade
[04:11] <narothepharoh> tlchack: ive tried that and it doesnt read as an mp3 cd
[04:11] <Comrade-Sergei> dieselsmoke, no GUI
[04:11] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: try: sudo apt-get install drac
[04:11] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - what are u trying to play it on?
[04:11] <Nick_Meister> hey guys i am having major issues with broken kde packages
[04:11] <Nick_Meister> please help

[04:12] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, nope
[04:12] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: pastebin what you typed and the output
[04:13] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - i too have a stereo that plays mp3, wma, etc. and if you burn it as a data cd and ur stereo truely is mp3 compatible it should work. i think you are in the wrong channel btw
[04:13] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: Also try: sudo apt-get update
[04:13] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, http://pastebin.ca/1352449
[04:14] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, no luck there either
[04:14] <narothepharoh> tlchack5: why would i be on the wrong channel i use ubuntu and i have a question
[04:14] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: You can't run an update?
[04:14] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, anything thats apt-get
[04:14] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: You said this is a new install, right?
[04:15] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - your question is in regard to stereo equipment and audio and we are in an OS troubleshooting forum
[04:15] <dieselsmoke> Comrade-Sergei: create a new file, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Manually_add_repositories
[04:15] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, yes
[04:15] <narothepharoh> tlchack5: whatever dude i ve been getting help here for years on all sorts of different issues
[04:16] <pieces> My taskbar/startbar  I don't really know what it is called, but it disappeared so I can't get to my programs anymore, can someone please tell me how to bring this back?
[04:16] <dieselsmoke> Nick_Meister: do you have synaptic? use the fix broken packages feature, cli is available also.
[04:17] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, can you pastebin your sources.list?
[04:17] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, hi, yes i removed them but i cannot install them
[04:17] <tlchack5> narothepharoh - didnt mean to offend, just saying you might be able to get a more straitforward and correct answer in a more topic orriented channel
[04:17] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, i cant seem to be able to install them they keep erroring out
[04:18] <storbeck> Comrade-Sergei: I'm not on Ubuntu. See the link that dieselsmoke posted to you. It should help
[04:18] <dieselsmoke> Nick_Meister: can you run update and upgrade ok?
[04:18] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, yes
[04:19] <armence> Hi all, how can I enable a user to use sudo from the command line?
[04:19] <storbeck> armence: Add them to the sudoers list
[04:19] <tlchack5> I need to install IDLE on a linux platform that does not have internet, how do I go about doing this?
[04:19] <armence> storbeck: How?
[04:19] <yow|5570> anyone having issues with jaunty and grub error 24?
[04:19] <Nick_Meister> dieselsmoke, one day my kde just went and removed itself for some reason when i tried to install koffice, and then it errors out every attempt i make at installing it
[04:19] <storbeck> armence: sudo vi /etc/sudoers
[04:19] <indro> armence: visudo or edit /etc/sudoers with your fav editor
[04:19] <armence> dieselsmoke: Feel free to say: "I told you so"
[04:19] <pieces> My taskbar/startbar  I don't really know what it is called, but it disappeared so I can't get to my programs anymore, can someone please tell me how to bring this back?
[04:20] <yow|5570> pieces - using gnome?
[04:20] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, i can update now
[04:20] <pieces> yow|5570, yeah
[04:20] <storbeck> w00t Comrade-Sergei
[04:20] <yow|5570> pieces - do you have panels at the bottom or top or not at all anymore?
[04:20] <Comrade-Sergei> storbeck, still cant apt-get irssi
[04:21] <armence> storbeck: OK, I have the file open, what lines should I modify?
[04:21] <pieces> yow|5570, none, I am lucky enough to have awn running though, and I can get to a terminal from that.
[04:21] <Brando753> anyone know why i cant get my mic on my hp laptop to work with ubuntu ;( its a pavilion dv5 entertainment pc
[04:21] <yow|5570> pieces - try Alt-F2 and type gnome-panel
[04:22] <storbeck> armence: You might want to read the man page for sudoers :)
[04:23] <pieces> yow|5570, says a panel already running...
[04:23] <tlchack5> anybody know how to install a program on a Linux platform without being connected to the internet? i need to be able to copy the install file to a flash drive then install from that. Any ideas?
[04:23] <pieces> yow|5570, says one is already running
[04:23] <storbeck> pieces: killall -9 gnome-panel; gnome-panel
[04:23] <yow|5570> pieces - can you open a terminal? if so, type killall -9 gnome-panel
[04:23] <pieces> yeah i got a terminal open
[04:23] <yow|5570> bah thanks for stealing my thunder storbeck ;)
[04:23] <sudobash> how do you open a terminal on X server from a ssh session?
[04:24] <storbeck> Hehe yow|5570
[04:24] <Unirgy> http://paste2.org/p/157928 - anyone has any idea?
[04:24] <armence> storbeck: OK, here is me admitting to complete stupidity: I had the brilliant idea of making only "root" be able to "administer" the system. I did not realize the full implications of this at the time... I find myself unable to edit sudoers...
[04:24] <pieces> yow|5570, still says a panel is already running
[04:25] <storbeck> armence: I don't follow. Root by default is the only administrator
[04:25] <Brando753> any ideas anyone?
[04:25] <yow|5570> pieces - it might be counting awn as your panel, open a terminal and try killing awn also and then type killall -9 gnome-panel
[04:25] <storbeck> You got your thunder back, yow|5570 :P
[04:25] <yow|5570> storbeck - we'll see ;)
[04:26] <pieces> yow|5570 -  still says a panel is already running
[04:26] <scrote> hi
[04:26] <scrote> google sucks, how do you set up firefox to use tor ?
[04:26] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: open a 'screen'
[04:27] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: just type screen from your ssh session
[04:27] <tlchack5> alright, imma try a dif approach... i have a windows vista laptop bridging its wifi connection to a crossover cable that i have plugged into a hub. I then have my Compaq running Ubuntu hooked up to the hub via a LAN cable but for some reason Ubuntu will not connect to the internet. what do i do?
[04:28] <yow|5570> pieces pieces - try switching to the default theme if you already arent using it
[04:28] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: ctrl+d to detach it, screen -r to re-attach
[04:28] <storbeck> tlchack5: That sounds like a mess already
[04:28] <pieces> yow|5570, human?
[04:28] <yow|5570> sure pieces
[04:28] <pieces> yow|5570, nothing
[04:28] <Wrayth> brando753: open your volume control and double click on the volume icon on the panel.Then Edit>Preferences.Then make sure you have selected Microphone,Mic boost,Capture.Once you do this you can find new capture tab in the volume control panel.Here, make sure nothing is muted(no red x on microphone icon).In options tab make sure you selected Microphone as input source.
[04:29] <tlchack5> storbeck: it is a mess lol
[04:29] <yow|5570> pieces im gonna pm you with some links
[04:29] <tlchack5> storbeck:vista's networking is shit lol
[04:29] <pieces> yow|5570, ok
[04:29] <storbeck> tlchack5: Lets try to keep the language kid friendly ;) You never know who's in here
[04:29] <tlchack5> storbeck: sorry, let it slip
[04:30] <tlchack5> strebeck: i let*
[04:30] <sudobash> i dont want to be able to write to this terminal.... screen is for interfacing with the same terminal correct? I would just like to open a terminal and leave it up....
[04:30] <sudobash> without being about to bind to it
[04:31] <storbeck> sudobash: screen will leave it up
[04:31] <storbeck> Just run it in screen, then detach and exit
[04:31] <dieselsmoke> sudobash: what storbeck said
[04:32] <tlchack5> ok, so i think this has become a vista problem... anybody know how to bridge a connection properly?
[04:33] <yow|5570> upgraded to jaunty, seemed to go fine for a few days and updates and now grub gets error 24 (using converted ext3 to ext4 which worked fine after upgrade) any ideas?
[04:33] <ploom> sudobash, have you tried putting things in background inside terminal with ctrl+z (job control) ??
[04:33] <marsh> anyone knows how to make a touchscreen POS work using ubuntu
[04:33] <ubuntu_> n
[04:34] <ploom> sudobash, actually appending ampersand to a command will run it on background just fine
[04:34] <marsh> i just installed ubuntu and it doesn't repond
[04:34] <ploom> sudobash, all that while using bash at least
[04:34] <n2diy> marsh, POS, point of sale?
[04:34] <marsh> yup POS hardware
[04:34] <storbeck> lol a POS with Ubuntu, that's new
[04:34] <ploom> marsh, you need to set up touch screen. Hopefully you at least know the hardware
[04:35] <n2diy> marsh,  ok, I thought you meant something else. :)
[04:35] <marsh> n2diy: yes i know the model
[04:35] <ploom> storbeck, not new at all - i have ran regular debian on touch screened computer just fine.
[04:35] <n2diy> marsh,  ")
[04:35] <sudobash> what i am trying to do is connect to my brothers linux via ssh and pop up a terminal on his x server to i can write to that terminal
[04:35] <marsh> i just got the ubuntu installed and since no mouse, and no touchscreen i can't do anything
[04:36] <Brando753> Wrayth: there is no edit button, the mic keeps muting itself, there is no option tab ;(
[04:36] <sophia> help!
[04:36] <n2diy> marsh, no mouse port to plug one into?
[04:37] <dieselsmoke> marsh: apt-cache search touchpad  tpconfig looks promising, but googling or keep asking might be wise
[04:37] <ploom> sudobash, you can use talk or ytalk program, but your brother has to fire up the terminal by itself
[04:37] <ploom> itself = himself
[04:37] <marsh> yes only keyboard, trying to find usb mous now
[04:37] <SchighSchagh> I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration
[04:37] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, do you play wit wvo?
[04:37] <sudobash> well i have done this before I just forgot how to do it... I know has to be a way to start a terminal up on x so that you can send a message to it...
[04:37] <n2diy> wit/with
[04:38] <marsh> dieselsmoke: thanks, doing right now.
[04:38] <ploom> marsh, touchscreen drivers are downloadable from manufacturers sites most likely
[04:38] <dieselsmoke> n2diy: wvo? never heard of it
[04:38] <marsh> ploom: yes but not on ubuntu
[04:38] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, waste vegetable oil
[04:38] <ploom> marsh, even in ubuntu. good drivers have debian packages ready for downloading there
[04:38] <marsh> does windows drivers work on ubuntu?
[04:39] <dieselsmoke> n2diy: i wouldnt put that stuff in a 50,000 engine myself
[04:39] <marsh> my model..   Obvious Glaive RT-560
[04:39] <ploom> marsh, usually there is no use from windows drivers on ubuntu (except certain parts of wireless drivers for example)
[04:39] <marsh> no where to find in my initial search
[04:39] <balrog__> how do i ssh into a computer running off of the ubuntu livecd?
[04:39] <ploom> ehm - google?
[04:39] <IdentifyTarget> I have ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD. I need to make a RAID0 using a LiveCD. Would there be any point to downloading 8.10?
[04:40] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, 50,000 what? Dollars or miles? Haven't played with it myself, yet, but I'm looking at it.
[04:40] <balrog__> IdentifyTarget: i know this is not answering your question, but in my opinion, raid0 is dangerous.
[04:40] <dieselsmoke> n2diy: $50,000 us dollar engine
[04:40] <IdentifyTarget> yea yea
[04:40] <SchighSchagh> balrog__: you probably need to install openssh (sudo apt-get install openssh) on the compy running off the live CD.
[04:41] <n2diy> dieselsmoke, Wow, think I could get half that for my VW Jetta? :)
[04:41] <IdentifyTarget> what kind of Jetta?
[04:42] <n2diy> IdentifyTarget, 86 diesel
[04:42] <balrog__> SchighSchagh: agreed, and ive already done that.  but when i try to ssh to the ip address of that comp (effectively as root), i am prompted for a password.  anybody know what the livecd username is and its password?
[04:42] <IdentifyTarget> how much do you want for it?
[04:42] <IdentifyTarget> $50k US?
[04:43] <tritium> Stay on topic, please.
[04:43] <ploom> marsh, fanless touch-screen systems in general are like lego. lsusb is result is generally more usful, when you know that the touchscreen is connected to usb. otherwise it has dedicated com serial port
[04:43] <n2diy> IdentifyTarget, 20,000
[04:43] <IdentifyTarget> you must not be in the US. Here a diesel that old would be < $5k US
[04:43] <dieselsmoke> IdentifyTarget: big trucks /end ot
[04:43] <SchighSchagh> balrog__: ah, right the password. try things such as "root" "toor" "ubuntu" "password", etc...
[04:43] <SchighSchagh> also,  maybe you can use passwd to set the password to whatever you want?
[04:43] <tlchack5> got the internet to work by skipping the hub. what is the sudo command for installing the IDLE for python?
[04:44] <egaudet> Is there any working alternative to watch move player streamed videos in Linux?
[04:44] <tlchack5> becuase im using <sudo apt-get install IDLE> and it doesnt seem to work
[04:45] <SchighSchagh> egaudet: alternative to what?
[04:45] <yva> Hi I've tried to unzip a huge file and it failed (not enough disk space) but now my disk is full and I don't know how to fix that
[04:45] <egaudet> SchighSchagh, sorry not alternative but workaround or something
[04:45] <ploom> marsh, windows driver might help when you have operated the pos under windows and then remembered to look for the touch screen connection method (usb or serial) and/or model. hope it helps.
[04:45] <yva> (the disk is so full that I cannot even open thunderbird)
[04:45] <egaudet> I would love to be able to watch some shows online and I do not have access to windows nor mac
[04:45] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: apt-cache search idle or correct package name search python maybe
[04:46] <egaudet> I've tried wine firefox but can't get the video working
[04:46] <tlchack5> yva: this might be a long way around but you could back up your files onto a flasdrive or other medium then reinstal linux wich should re-partition your drive and erase the incomplete data
[04:46] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: i watch hulu etc w/firefox
[04:46] <SchighSchagh> I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration
[04:46] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: thank you, will try
[04:46] <computer_> This is a great place to go: www.ubuntuguide.org
[04:46] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, cwtv?
[04:47] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: never tried cwtv, one sec
[04:47] <yva> tlchack5: it should have another way to do, I really do not want to reinstall linux now
[04:47] <marsh> ploom: where do you think can i find debian drivers for touchscreen?
[04:47] <computer_> This is a great place to go: www.ubuntuguide.org
[04:48] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: cwtv.com works fine
[04:48] <tlchack5> yva: im sure there is another way.. but if you cant find one its a failsafe backup plan =P
[04:48] <gaintsura> could someone possibly help walk RPS along, he's in the right direction, but doesn't understand virtualbox for crap =)
[04:48] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, are you running firefox under wine?
[04:48] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: firefox/hardy/ x86_64
[04:48] <yva> in fact if I got to / and try to see the size of all my dir I've got 7Gig while the disk is 14Gig and say it's full with df
[04:49] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: no wine
[04:49] <ploom> marsh, look for touch screen manufacturer. usually you will find drivers from their site. Otherwise you could contac the provider of the POS itself too
[04:49] <yva> how is it possible that I do not see them?
[04:49] <computer_> rps, ok
[04:49] <sudobash> any idea on open tty on Xserver?
[04:49] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, that doesn't make sense their movie player is only for windows/mac
[04:49] <computer_> RPS, ?
[04:49] <SchighSchagh> I am experiencing a very peculiar phenomenon when using OpenGL to help render and display movies: all the colors are shifted around the color wheel (eg, red becomes blue, but white stays white). does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? my only workaround right now is to force VLC to not use OpenGL acceleration
[04:49] <RPS> I'm here
[04:49] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: it doesnt respond to <sudo apt-cache search IDLE> it acts like i didnt type anything
[04:49] <computer_> VirtualBox help go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#VirtualBox
[04:50] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: i'm watching it, want a screenshot?
[04:50] <n2diy>  subobash, what do you mean by open?
[04:50] <egaudet> dieselsmoke, you are watching an episode?
[04:50] <marsh> ploom: they say they don't support linux they create for custom with a charge, i keep finding other solutions
[04:50] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: try lowercase
[04:50] <egaudet> or the ads/previews
[04:50] <egaudet> http://cwtv.com/cw-video/reaper/full/?play=445-3787
[04:50] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: nope, same thing
[04:51] <dongmaulachong20> nh
[04:51] <dongmaulachong20> nnnhs
[04:51] <n2diy> marsh, call tech support, there maybe some linux dudes there, that will help out?
[04:51] <MTecknology> what package is gnome keyring manager in?
[04:51] <dieselsmoke> egaudet: nope, guess it want ms windows for episodes
[04:52] <ploom> marsh, you just have to ask nice enough. in Taiwan for example they do not want to tell you the parts of their "lego" either, because once known anyone could make the same configuration on his/her own
[04:52] <miyako> hello. I found a bug where trying to generate a thumbnail for an SVG causes nautilus to crash (hardy, 32bit) and I was wondering if someone could tell me where I should report the bug, the gnome project, libsvg, and ubuntu bug reports all seem like good possible candidates
[04:52] <n2diy> ! bug | miyako
[04:53] <Tiron> Here's a great one...never used any sort of Linux before, installed Ubuntu Ibex 8.10 yesterday as much as anything just to play around with it...worked for three hours or so.  Right up until I made the apparently horrible mistake of trying to install the recommended 177 drivers for my GeForce 6800GTs... been getting nothing but command prompt on boot since.  As I don't know the commands yet, I'm reduced to rebooting, looking up a few to try, t
[04:53] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5:  apt-cache search python |grep idle
[04:53] <miyako> thanks n2diy
[04:53] <egaudet> Has anyone got Full episodes to stream on fox or cwtv?  Stupid move networks, can't believe it's been over a year with no linux support
[04:53] <yva> nobody have an idea?
[04:53] <n2diy> miyako, thank you, for the bug report.
[04:54] <indro> Tiron: hold on
[04:54] <tlchack5> nope
[04:54] <indro> Tiron: nevermind
[04:54] <MK13> i am having trouble with program installations, anytime I try to install anything it causes an error that says the package (.deb) is not accessible; any help you guess can give?
[04:55] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: nope.. and if i just do <apt-cache search python> i get an insanely long list and none of wich are they IDLE
[04:55] <MTecknology> I can't get vpn working......
[04:55] <meebo> hi all
[04:55] <RPS> I'm 600 miles away from home for the winter and I want to install XP in virtual box ...which version do guys think I should DL? there are plenty of options to choose from and I figure there may be a better choice. I can't remember what version I already have installed on the other partition (if that makes any difference) since I have never used it.
[04:55] <coreyman> !version
[04:55] <ploom> marsh, the alternative for asking is just to "reverse engineer" the pos. So that you open it and see from inside (as the last resort). Usually windows drivers are enough to reveal driver manufacturer, ang there you can find linux versions too (at least in  binary form, compiled against a certain version of kernel)
[04:56] <rdw200169> RPS, what version of VirtualBox or what version of windows?
[04:56] <RPS> windows
[04:56] <meebo> how do i automatically put a n/w up on startup..?
[04:56] <meebo> ** n/w interface
[04:56] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: i get three idle hits, check your repo's
[04:56] <rdw200169> RPS, well, I know that SP2 works alright, i dunno about sp3, but i don't see why it, too, wouldn't work
[04:57] <marsh> ploom: i get you man, that gave me an idea, thanks a lot
[04:57] <Tiron> darn.  I'm lost as heck at this point, 'cause I'm frankly not sure what the problem even is...or how to find out, for that matter... I do know fiddling with the xorg.conf doesn't seem to affect it...
[04:57] <IdentifyTarget> when I'm using command line, and I pipe   user% foobar | pipetext.txt        does that capture stderr also?
[04:57] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: sorry im a noob to linux... how do i check repos?
[04:57] <RPS> I bought this laptop to run ubuntu only and it came with XP on it and I can;t remember if it is home or pro, but that should make a difference then?
[04:57] <marsh> ploom: i'll see if can still find a driver and then try you're idea which for sure will work
[04:57] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, no
[04:58] <marsh> hopefully
[04:58] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: admin menu, software sources
[04:58] <RPS> I'll get it started ....the DL that is
[04:58] <sophia> what is the difference between "BENCHMARKs and BENCHMARK%"?
[04:58] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, have to do something like 2&>1 for stderr
[04:58] <IdentifyTarget> Titan8990: would this capture stderr? foobr 2>&1 | text.txt
[04:58] <sophia> anyone knows?
[04:58] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, that looks right but I don't recall the exact syntax
[04:59] <IdentifyTarget> ty
[04:59] <Tiron> I'd just up and reinstall except I'm learning tons trying to fix the thing, heh...
[04:59] <Titan8990> IdentifyTarget, I actually had to do that a few days ago to pipe my stderr from a python script through less too.....
[04:59] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: ok a window popped up. what am i looking for here?
[04:59] <n2diy> sophia, it is obvious, what is the real question?
[04:59] <sudobash> so when screen is talking about session what is that exactly?
[04:59] <sudobash> in man screen and screen --?
[05:00] <coreyman> can i install kde3 on ubuntu intrepid?
[05:00] <Nytrix> !sessions
[05:00] <armence> Hello everyone. I did something silly.  How do I solve that. I can use su, but I'm not sure what commands I need to enter to solve that problem...
[05:00] <Nytrix> !session
[05:00] <yva> how to see the size taken by each directory?
[05:00] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: check all the repos, i also added medibuntu manually. then update upgrade
[05:00] <Brando753> my mic is still not working ;(
[05:01] <sudobash> ?
[05:01] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: got a volume icon?
[05:01] <Brando753> i do :P
[05:01] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke:im sorry... i have no idea where repos are in this menue =( i feel really stupid right now
[05:01] <Brando753> and i double ckicked it :P
[05:01] <Titan8990> armence, you should never be able to use su in ubuntu....
[05:01] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: right click it, open controls, look in 'options' insure input is 'mic'
[05:01] <ploom> marsh, I am speaking from my own experience with devices from somewhere from Taiwan
[05:01] <dbbolton> how many primary partitions can i put on an sda device ?
[05:02] <Titan8990> armence, try: sudo adduser USER admin
[05:02] <n2diy> dbbolton, two
[05:02] <dieselsmoke> dbbolton: 4 i believe
[05:02] <Brando753> there is only prefrences no option :D
[05:02] <dbbolton> n2diy, i have 4 right now...
[05:02] <dieselsmoke> Brando753: right click it, open volume 'control', look in 'options' insure input is 'mic'
[05:02] <Tiron> if I recall right 4 partitions period is the limit of the MBR...
[05:03] <armence> Titan8990: "The user 'USER' does not exist"
[05:03] <dbbolton> dieselsmoke can you put more if some are inside a logical partition?
[05:03] <n2diy> dbbolton, on two IDE buses?
[05:03] <Brando753> there is no "options"
[05:03] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: i have 5 tabs {ubuntu software, third-party software, updates, authentication, statistics} and i cant find where repos is... and what are repos?
[05:03] <Titan8990> armence, user is a variable, thats why I made it all caps
[05:03] <ploom> dbbolton, four? One of them can be extended partition
[05:03] <dieselsmoke> dbbolton: yes i believe so, logical or extended
[05:03] <sophia> n2diy: one is time taken and another one is Cpu usage..?
[05:03] <Titan8990> armence, replace USER with your username
[05:03] <Tiron> you could create an extended partition and put logicals inside that...but then you can only have three primaries...
[05:03] <yva> I try du -hs but it only give me the complete size while I want to have it by directory
[05:04] <yva> how to do that?
[05:04] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: repo's = repositories
[05:04] <corinth> Anyone know how to switch the default GNOME file manager from nautilus to pcman?
[05:04] <sudobash> is there no way to open a terminal on X?
[05:04] <armence> Titan8990: Do I have to restart or at least log out and then back in?
[05:04] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: ohh, so its third-party software? i checked the two websites that were listed and now its updating package information
[05:04] <sudobash> with ssh
[05:05] <n2diy> Sophia, ok, I don't know the answer, but now your question is more specific, and hopefully someone knows the ansewer?
[05:05] <Titan8990> yva, try: ls -alR / | less
[05:05] <Titan8990> armence, yes, you have to relog
[05:05] <armence> thanks
[05:05] <Brando753> guys i dont have an "options" in my volume control ;(
[05:05] <armence> Though honestly, given how silly that originally was of me, perhaps it was better that I could not touch system configuration
[05:05] <Nytrix> !mbr
[05:06] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: in synaptic, settings, there are repo's also, but probably the same thing, but you can choose a mirror also, i prefer mit.edu
[05:06] <opera> ！block device
[05:06] <Tiron> I lost my GUI after installing the stupid nvidia drivers >P
[05:07] <yva> Titan8990: It give me all dir of the computer while I want to see just the directory of /
[05:07] <tlchack5> dieselsmoke: ok, thank you very much sir =] it all seems to be working now
[05:07] <n8tuserf> Tiron if you just installed, may as well re-install, thats only 30 mins or less eh?
[05:07] <opera> what is block device?
[05:07] <Titan8990> yva, if you want to see how much space / takes up:  df -h
[05:07] <dieselsmoke> tlchack5: cool
[05:08] <Tiron> yeah, but it's fun and educational trying to fix it ;)
[05:08] <yva> Titan8990: Yes but I want to see it by dir (only the firsts dir)
[05:08] <Titan8990> yva, looks at the one that is displayed as being mounted at /
[05:08] <opera> !block device
[05:08] <n8tuserf> opera devices that can be read in blocks as oppose to one char at a time
[05:08] <cryptic> can i rsync remoteley
[05:08] <jA_cOp> Where can I find a header file defining the ELF File Format headers?
[05:08] <Titan8990> yva, I don't understand....
[05:08] <n8tuserf> !patience | opera
[05:08] <Titan8990> yva, you want to see how much space is used by the directory / correct?
[05:08] <dieselsmoke> Tiron: run nvidia-settings or something like that before you dump the nvidia attempt.
[05:09] <n2diy> cryptic, yes, look at sbackup.
[05:09] <Tiron> ...think I saw something about an nvidia-xconfig or somesuch poking around...I haven't figured out how to get into it yet
[05:10] <cryptic> n2diy, the server im connecting to is ftp
[05:10] <Brando753> guys i dont have an "options" in my volume control ;( what should i do to use my mic???
[05:11] <n2diy> cryptic, well, we can't do much about that, unless you have access to it?
[05:11] <cryptic> i co
[05:11] <cryptic> i do*
[05:11] <n2diy> cryptic, via what?
[05:11] <dieselsmoke> opera: block devices are a unix term to wit the system moves data from devices in 'blocks'
[05:11] <Tiron> alright I'ma reboot over and try to get into that again...
[05:11] <SineDeviance> hey guys where can i get a CC / open source ubuntu logo?

[05:42] <mib_i7xo71fc> 1 sec
[05:42] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: install them all, i did
[05:42] <David_E> Accessed a website that needs to run a java program to do file uploads.  Firefox hangs when it tries to run the app.  Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue?  I'm trying to upload some files to a ning social network I created.
[05:43] <LogicFan> David_E, do you have the java runtime installed?
[05:43] <David_E> i think so
[05:44] <LogicFan> and the firefox plugin?
[05:44] <palomer> hello
[05:44] <dieselsmoke> mib_i7xo71fc: gnome-desktop-environment
[05:44] <David_E> how do i check for the firefox plugin?
[05:45] <LogicFan> David_E, you can be sure by installing it: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre
[05:45] <LogicFan> that will install both for you
[05:45] <palomer> I have a frame in an event box in a  scroll_window, and I change the border colour of the frame, should this trigger an expose event in the event_box?
[05:45] <opera> why i can't use the command "chmod -aw" ?
[05:45] <dieselsmoke> David_E: in addons in FF
[05:45] <David_E> okay I'll do that now
[05:45] <palomer> sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't
[05:45] <jtaji> opera: that would be chmod a-w
[05:45] <swiper_> #mp3
[05:46] <opera> jtaji, thank you .
[05:46] <b1n42y> David_E, about:plugins
[05:46] <dieselsmoke> opera: octal format is better
[05:46] <David_E> my machine says the latest java is installed
[05:46] <b1n42y> David_E, in address bar
[05:46] <Until_It_Sleeps> How do I access Telnet from the Terminal?
[05:47] <dieselsmoke> Until_It_Sleeps: telnet hostname
[05:47] <jtaji> dieselsmoke: there are some complex changes you can make using that notation which octal does not help with
[05:47] <Until_It_Sleeps> Ah, so the same as Microsoft's command prompt?
[05:47] <dieselsmoke> jtaji: duley noted, thanks!
[05:47] <dieselsmoke> Until_It_Sleeps: yup
[05:47] <David_E> it says i have java plugin 1.6.0_10 installed
[05:48] <dieselsmoke> jtaji: duly noted
[05:48] <Until_It_Sleeps> :D Thanks!
[05:48] <dieselsmoke> sp
[05:48] <atrandom> hey guys
[05:48] <palomer> if the event box is wider than the scroll_window, then expose isn't called
[05:48] <atrandom> im new to ubuntu
[05:48] <phannguyenhung> I'm having problem with automount, I've select unmount button from dropdown of the pendrive when it's running. After I plug it back, ubuntu doesn't auto mount like before, what i've to do ? Please answer me use PM as I'm going out now. thanks
[05:48] <atrandom> and i have a baracuda sound card i cant get to work
[05:48] <mib_i7xo71fc> deiselsmoke, is it the same to install xfce? xfce-desktop-environment
[05:48] <phannguyenhung> I'm having problem with automount, I've select unmount button from dropdown of the pendrive when it's running.  For some reason whenever I start Ubuntu, my bluetooth devices are never detected and I always have to type sudo hciconfig hci0 reset before it starts detecting bluetooth stuff? Does anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it?
[05:49] <jtaji> mib_i7xo71fc: just typing the name, or actually the first few letters then pressing tab to auto-complete
[05:49] <mib_i7xo71fc> jtaji: oh you put the name then the dot-dot thingy thanks
[05:50] <mib_i7xo71fc> see yas
[05:50] <dieselsmoke> halycon: bluetooth deamon isn't running perhaps?
[05:51] <halycon> dieselsmoke, The bluetooth applet is running in the tray
[05:52] <dieselsmoke> halycon: system/sessions/bluetooth manager
[05:52] <dieselsmoke> halycon: that might be missing
[05:53] <David_E> i checked the plugin for firefox and I'm still having issues.  Any suggestions?
[05:54] <dieselsmoke> halycon: running gnome? try bluez-utils bluez-gnome packages
[05:55] <halycon> dieselsmoke, it is still set to run on startup
[05:55] <q0_0p> !smb
[05:56] <q0_0p> !samba
[05:56] <k1> risking breaking cxhanel rules -i'll ask again, can anyone suggest a simple video editing programme for ubuntu that will allow me to cut scenes out of a dvd movie (it can be any formet), thanks
[05:56] <halycon> dieselsmoke, yeah all the bluez stuff is installed
[05:57] <dieselsmoke> halycon: no idea, odd
[05:59] <riddler> is any one here'
[05:59] <Flannel> k1: Try cinelerra, kino, or avidemux (try the penultimate first, I believe)

[06:01] <wiggles> hi https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  doesent mention ubuntu 8.10,
[06:01] <wiggles> is 8.10 hardy?
[06:01] <Flannel> k1: Cinelerra certainly isn't.  I believe Kino is, but I don't know much about avidemux
[06:01] <wiggles> or is the methods for 8.4 the same for 8.10 ?
[06:01] <riddler> yeh its looking fo cman and it takes a while to boot up
[06:02] <k1> Flannel, thanks , i'll give cinelerra a miss then  :-)
[06:02] <st_thomas> riddler: I don't understand about cman? can u tell what it for?
[06:02] <dieselsmoke> wiggles: 8.10 is intrepid
[06:02] <wiggles> oh
[06:02] <wiggles> well i need ati drivers for interpid, and that link is no help
[06:02] <riddler> idk when im booting up ubuntu it says its looking for cman
[06:02] <riddler> it takes like 5 to 10 minutes to boot
[06:02] <DStrevinas> Hello, I have a cgi script leading to a problem and the solution I was asked to try is to set environmental variable MALLOC_CHECK_="2". How this can be done?
[06:03] <st_thomas> anyone can help riddler? sorry, I can't help u
[06:03] <ddubsmax> does anybody know an easy to use java compiler for ubuntu
[06:03] <ddubsmax> i tried eclipse and it doesn't compile for some reason
[06:04] <palomer> if I call queue_draw, what signal will be emitted after the widget has finished redrawing?
[06:04] <riddler> its ok do u kno the messenger program in ubuntu
[06:04] <riddler> and can you teach me any cool things about ubuntu
[06:05] <k1> riddler, amsn
[06:05] <k1> riddler, amsn is similer to msn messenger, there is also pidgin
[06:06] <k1> but i dont know anything about cool stuff in ubuntu cause i'm uncool....:-)
[06:06] <dieselsmoke> halycon: you need the keys, https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA
[06:07] <Sertse> quick q. how do I force installation of something?
[06:08] <opera> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29104 Nov 6 19:16 /usr/bin/passwd---what is the permission of the  octal format
[06:08] <nanotube> Sertse: depends on what you are using to install... apt-get ?
[06:08] <TruthTaco> i need a program that can extract an incomplete zip file
[06:09] <Elone> hihi
[06:10] <opera> who can tell me
[06:11] <nanotube> opera: 1755, iirc
[06:11] <st_thomas> riddler: pidgin is the best
[06:11] <dieselsmoke> opera: chmod 4755
[06:12] <Sertse> I'm probably trying to break my system. heh. Taking an app from jaunty, the app's own page page says the lib found in intrepid should be enough. But the package in jaunty requires the lib from jaunty as deps...
[06:12] <hipzen> st_thomas: I think that depends on what you want :)
[06:12] <opera> hang
[06:12] <dieselsmoke> nanotube: 1 is sticky bit
[06:12] <nanotube> DStrevinas: in shell type "export MALLOC_CHECK=2". this will last for the duration of that shell.
[06:12] <nanotube> dieselsmoke: ah heh, well, hence the "iirc" - apparently not "c" :)
[06:13] <st_thomas> hipzen: in KDE is kopete the best
[06:13] <DStrevinas> nanotube: The script is run as cgi. Called though the web browser. Can I manually set it somewhere to be included after a restart or something?
[06:13] <opera> why not three ?
[06:13] <nanotube> DStrevinas: set it from within the script, then.
[06:14] <nanotube> DStrevinas: (it's a shell script, right?)
[06:14] <hipzen> st_thomas: personally I prefer aMSN as it has webcam support :) And I use the GNOME desktop
[06:14] <DStrevinas> nanotube: hmm ok nice idea :) . I am a fool.
[06:14] <nanotube> DStrevinas: :)
[06:14] <riddler> tyhanks st. thomas
[06:15] <tengulre> how to known which apps usnig swaps when that running?
[06:15] <nanotube> opera: "man chmod"
[06:15] <opera> o
[06:16] <dieselsmoke> DStrevinas: put that in your ~/.bashrc
[06:16] <knx_> bonjour
[06:17] <knx_> oups
[06:17] <DStrevinas> dieselsmoke: This is cleaner i think. I will try both. Thanx all
[06:17] <riddler> does anyone here kno how to tweak ubuntu os
[06:17] <insaneNproud> anybody have expierence with unetbootin?
[06:17] <insaneNproud> i need urgent help asap
[06:17] <dieselsmoke> DStrevinas: /etc/environment and /etc/profile for system-wide vars
[06:17] <Brando753> my mic still fails to work :P
[06:18] <insaneNproud> anybody
[06:18] <DStrevinas> aah ok
[06:18] <insaneNproud> i ran it in vista and now i cant get into my vista install how do i bypass it?
[06:19] <dieselsmoke> night ppl
[06:20] <riddler> dstrevinas do you know anything cool about ubuntu
[06:20] <insaneNproud> hellp
[06:20] <DStrevinas> no
[06:20] <insaneNproud> hello*
[06:20] <quibbler> !ot | riddler
[06:20] <nanotube> riddler: do you have any specific thing you want to accomplish?
[06:21] <riddler> nanotube: idk were to start im new to ubuntu i just want to learn how to use terminal
[06:22] <riddler> i want to be ble to tweak ubuntu to my personal taste
[06:22] <nanotube> riddler: ah, well, i suggest trying "linuxcommand.org", it's a good tutorial on using the commandline
[06:22] <Dryice> what do you mean tweak it? aesthetically?
[06:25] <riddler> tyhank u nano tube
[06:26] <nanotube> riddler: enjoy :)
[06:26] <jimmygoon_> Change username
[06:26] <jimmygoon_> er, this is not google, sorry.
[06:26] <nanotube> jimmygoon_: heh
[06:26] <nanotube> !change username
[06:26] <ectospasm> hmmm... Vuze keeps asking to update.  I download the update, restart Vuze.  And this process repeats ad nauseum...
[06:27] <AnRkey> what command is used to bring up the run application box that I get when I push alt+f2?
[06:27] <bohemian_> on the terminal after i change to root access using "su" command, how can i change directory?
[06:27] <bohemian_> say /home/user/desktop
[06:27] <bohemian_> what command to use?
[06:27] <Dryice> cd Desktop
[06:27] <nanotube> bohemian_: cd
[06:27] <ectospasm> bohemian_: cd (change directory)
[06:27] <Dryice> if youre at ~$
[06:27] <AnRkey> cd /home/user/Desktop
[06:27] <Dryice> cd takes you back to your user
[06:27] <Dryice> cd alone rather
[06:27] <AnRkey> case sensitive, the D in desktop is a cap
[06:28] <quibbler> !nick | jimmygoon_
[06:28] <bohemian_> i get cd /home/user/Desktop
[06:28] <jimmygoon> quibbler: yeah sorry
[06:28] <ectospasm> bohemian_: cd ~user/Desktop would also work
[06:29] <quibbler> jimmygoon: nothing to be sorry about
[06:29] <jimmygoon> I've got a bunch of stuff like postfix and mysql and ssh keys setup, is changing my username going to mess a lot of things up?
[06:29] <AnRkey> no ectospasm: it's cd ~/Destkop bud
[06:29] <nanotube> AnRkey: good question - i'd like to know that too :)
[06:29] <bohemian_> ectospasm: still No Such directory
[06:29] <AnRkey> nanotube, it's driving me nuts
[06:29] <ectospasm> bohemian_: does "user" exist?
[06:29] <Dryice> make sure you're back to ~$
[06:29] <AnRkey> nanotube, i am building a custom installer for a client and they want a friggen start run thingy
[06:29] <ectospasm> AnRkey: try again, he's root, dolt.
[06:29] <Dryice> and not in another directory
[06:30] <ectospasm> cd ~/ goes to the current user's home directory
[06:30] <ectospasm> which would be /root/, not /home/user/
[06:30] <bohemian_> ectospasm: ok i misspelled the user.. :D thanks
[06:30] <Flannel> ectospasm: Please remember where you are and keep the code of conduct in mind.  Thanks.
[06:30]  * AnRkey slaps himself for being a twit
[06:30] <milad> I have problems with firefox
[06:30] <nanotube> AnRkey: mighty curious.... :)
[06:31] <AnRkey> nanotube, google isn't finding much
[06:31] <nanotube> yea, i tried too, after you asked :)
[06:31] <nanotube> AnRkey:
[06:31] <AnRkey> nanotube, gonna ask some devs, brb
[06:31] <nanotube> AnRkey: cool, lemme know what you find!
[06:32] <AnRkey> nanotube, will do
[06:33] <bohemian_> anyone able to install touchkit driver here? driver used for POS touchscreen
[06:33] <jimmygoon> is it even possible to change my username?
[06:33] <Comrade-Sergei> whenever I try to SSH into my ubuntu box i get "Connection closed by <my IP address)"
[06:33] <Flannel> jimmygoon: Of course
[06:34] <jimmygoon> Flannel, any tips? Googling keeps leading to articles saying its not possible
[06:34] <nanotube> jimmygoon: "man usermod"
[06:34] <nanotube> jimmygoon: usermod --login <newlogin>
[06:34] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: have you examined the output of "ssh -vvv -l <user> <IP address>"
[06:34] <ectospasm> ?
[06:35] <Flannel> jimmygoon: Do you care if your home folder is under the old username?  If not, it's trivial.  If so, it requires you to rename that folder (either from another user, or recovery console)
[06:35] <nanotube> jimmygoon: but have to change homedir name manually after that....
[06:35] <ectospasm> so no one has any experience with Vuze?
[06:35] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, what should it be?
[06:35] <ximal> anyone here know why I wouldn't be given priveleges under phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to change my admin password yet it is telling me No Privileges to create alter or delete user info
[06:35] <jimmygoon> Flannel, nanotube, I've got root so I can do that
[06:35] <Flannel> jimmygoon: that'd be usermod -l (or --login)
[06:35] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: that verbose output should give you more information as to why it's closing the connection.
[06:36] <nanotube> Flannel: too late :)
[06:36] <ximal> also I am not loading an MCRYPT extension which I am clueless about
[06:36] <jimmygoon> it just tells me that the new username doesn't exist?
[06:36] <jimmygoon> do I have to create that user first?
[06:36] <Flannel> jimmygoon: and then you move the homedir (as far as the user stuff is concerned) with -d (with -m)
[06:36] <Flannel> jimmygoon: What syntax are you using?
[06:37] <jimmygoon> logged in with user: "mickens"
[06:37] <jimmygoon> usermod -l cole
[06:37] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, its strange though, I can SSH in locally but not with my DDNS
[06:37] <balrog__> how do i archive a folder across multiple DVDs?
[06:37] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, and im 99% sure i did the port forwarding right
[06:37] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: what interface is sshd listening on?
[06:38] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, eth1
[06:38] <ectospasm> it's not limiting connections to your LAN, is it?
[06:38] <ectospasm> meaning it closes the connection for stuff outside the LAN.
[06:38] <Dryice> bah why can't I access my rkhunter.log ?
[06:38] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, id assume it is, it will work on the LAN
[06:39] <jimmygoon> ~: usermod -l cole -d cole
[06:39] <jimmygoon> usermod: user cole does not exist
[06:39] <Flannel> jimmygoon: usermod -l newlogin oldlogin
[06:39] <nanotube> balrog__: tar might have an option to break it up into multiple chunks.... "man tar" for details... maybe "--multi-volume" is what you're looking for....
[06:39] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: I'd examine your sshd_config, but beyond that I don't know.
[06:39] <Flannel> jimmygoon: then usermod -d /home/newlogin -m newlogin
[06:39] <omshanti-> How do I play .pls playlist files?
[06:39] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, where is that id assume /etc/ssh_config right?
[06:39] <jimmygoon> Flannel, "usermod: unable to lock password file" thank you very much, btw
[06:39] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[06:40] <nanotube> omshanti-: audacious or xmms should be able to play those.
[06:40] <ectospasm> usually...
[06:40] <ectospasm> omshanti-: also amarok will play those files.
[06:40] <quibbler> Dryice: you can with gksudo gedit  /path/to/rkhunter.log
[06:40] <jimmygoon> Flannel, duh, reran it as root
[06:40] <Dryice> yah I got it
[06:40] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, what should i be looking for in here
[06:40] <Dryice> thanks
[06:40] <ximal>  hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ?   ( rephrazed for better question understanding ??? )
[06:41] <omshanti-> hehe thanks :)
[06:41] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: this is where you need to consult "man sshd_config"
[06:41] <jimmygoon> Flannel, how does the second command know to affect the oldlogin home folder?
[06:41] <Flannel> jimmygoon: -m means move, so it should move.  (well, it'll likely just rename the old foldername to the new one)
[06:42] <jimmygoon> Flannel, okay, so I should re-visudo to make the username change in there as well?
[06:42] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, but id be shooting blind, i havent the faintest idea of what im looking for here
[06:42] <Flannel> jimmygoon: sudo doesn't use usernames.  So, no you don't need to do that.
[06:42] <ectospasm> Comrade-Sergei: I can't help you if you're not willing to read the manual.
[06:42] <Flannel> jimmygoon: At least, not by default.  If you've made changes to sudoers, that's something you'll need to do, yes.
[06:42] <jimmygoon> Flannel, but for granting a regular user access to sudo... I thought you had to add to it
[06:42] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, words of an IT man
[06:42] <Dryice> Has anyone experienced '/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2588455770' rkhunter gave me a warning on it
[06:42] <jimmygoon> Flannel, yeah its a server install that came with a root account
[06:42] <Flannel> jimmygoon: No, you add them to the admin group.
[06:43] <Comrade-Sergei> ectospasm, tr RTFM
[06:43] <SJrX> What packages do I need to install for C++ development
[06:43] <nanotube> SJrX: build-essential should do it.
[06:43] <nanotube> !build-essential
[06:44] <ximal>  hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ?
[06:44] <Flannel> ectospasm: For the record, that sort of view is not welcome here.  If you don't know the answer, either look it up, or let somene else handle the issue.  RTFM (and others like it) are not welcome, period.
[06:44] <joejc> how does a website know what version of flash im using?
[06:44] <jimmygoon> joejc the plugin reports it
[06:44] <SJrX> I'm trying to execute java, and I'm getting this error: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 how can I fix it?
[06:44] <nanotube> joejc: flash tells it what version it is.
[06:44] <joejc> can i spoof what it reports?
[06:45] <illbeatu> how do i completely remove something from ubuntu?
[06:45] <illbeatu> --purge doesn't seem to work.
[06:45] <nanotube> joejc: not afaik... but you can google around and see if you find anything....
[06:45] <coreyman> !gnome
[06:45] <nanotube> illbeatu: rm
[06:45] <jimmygoon> yay my mail sends from the correct account now. thanks a bunch Flannel.
[06:45] <illbeatu> i installed some ruby package that is too old from the repository and then i sudo apt-get remove --purge it
[06:45] <illbeatu> but for some reason it still exists when i type "gem"
[06:46] <illbeatu> giving me nameErrors and what not.
[06:46] <ectospasm> hmmm, so this is the handholding channel.  I see...  Well, time for bed.  cy'all l8r...
[06:46] <bitfish> illbeatu, sudo aptitude purge rubygems
[06:47] <Flannel> !coc > ectospasm
[06:47] <nanotube> ectospasm: we all need some handholding now and then. :)
[06:47] <bitfish> illbeatu, also: sudo dpkg --purge rubygems
[06:47] <illbeatu> ok. it's gone now
[06:47] <illbeatu> thanks
[06:47] <bitfish> :)
[06:48] <joejc> is there a way i can see what info my browser is sending
[06:49] <cactusfrog> how do i burn a copy of windows xp
[06:49] <cactusfrog> ????
[06:49] <coreyman> this is an ubuntu channel cactusfrog
[06:49] <joejc> that sounds illeagal
[06:50] <cactusfrog> no
[06:50] <cactusfrog> its not
[06:50] <joejc> ok
[06:50] <coreyman> joejc to your question, what info do you want to see
[06:50] <illbeatu> ok. what does it mean when xterm is not seeing the files I put on my desktop and not letting me auto finish (use tab button to finish) the name?
[06:50] <Sa[i]nT> To back it up, it's not.
[06:50] <cactusfrog> i downloaded it of the dell website
[06:50] <Dryice> Has anyone experienced '/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2588455770' rkhunter gave me a warning on it
[06:50] <cactusfrog> well
[06:50] <cactusfrog> its kinda ubatuisk
[06:50] <cactusfrog> becuase that is what i am going to run on my old hadrdrive
[06:51] <cactusfrog> OMG DOS ATTACK!!!!!!!!
[06:51] <joejc> coreyman: im trying to get netflix to work but i need it to see moonlight as silverlight
[06:51] <cactusfrog> what?
[06:51] <cactusfrog> i use
[06:52] <cactusfrog>  vuze
[06:52] <cactusfrog> much better them netflics
[06:52] <cactusfrog> -+
[06:52] <CosmiChaos> My firefox startpage is loaded without images and scripts but ONLY when i start firefox, after reload everything is fine, any ideas
[06:52] <cactusfrog> uh
[06:52] <cactusfrog> type sudo install opera
[06:53] <cactusfrog> in terminal
[06:53] <CosmiChaos> cactusfrog: its installed but i asked for firefox
[06:53] <ANTRat> sudo apt-get install
[06:53] <CosmiChaos> is there no way to fix firefox
[06:53] <cactusfrog> close enough
[06:53] <cactusfrog> well
[06:53] <cactusfrog> ya
[06:53] <cactusfrog> but before you mess with it
[06:53] <cactusfrog> fix
[06:53] <cactusfrog> i mean get anothe webbrouser
[06:53] <jtaji> !enter | cactusfrog
[06:54] <cactusfrog> ok
[06:54] <cactusfrog> i wont
[06:54] <nanotube> cactusfrog: hah :)
[06:54] <joejc> lol
[06:54] <CosmiChaos> i love my plugins i have opera for other purposes but... i asked for firefox fix not for alternatives
[06:54] <cactusfrog>  oh try disabling all plug ins
[06:54] <cactusfrog> i love speedial
[06:55] <nanotube> CosmiChaos: if disabling all plugins doesn't work, try starting a fresh profile...
[06:55] <CosmiChaos> cactusfrog: thats a good idea, ill start with noscript and restart firefox
[06:55] <joejc> how do i see what info my browser is sending?
[06:55] <CosmiChaos> nanotube: thanks
[06:55] <CosmiChaos> brb
[06:55] <cactusfrog> i have downloaded ubatu many times
[06:55] <cactusfrog> every time i fail
[06:55] <Flannel> cactusfrog: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation.
[06:55] <cactusfrog> sry
[06:55] <cactusfrog> its a really bad habbet i am working on it
[06:56] <arooni-mobile> hey folks;  i cant get my s9 headphones to output any audio from any applicaiton on ibex..... ideas?
[06:56] <prince_j1mmys> joejc: there's a firefox plugin for that (don't remember the name). also programs like wireshark(gui), ettercap, ngrep ...
[06:56] <nanotube> joejc: try firebug
[06:56] <cactusfrog> will they ever releace crome for linux?
[06:56] <cactusfrog> release
[06:56] <nanotube> joejc: it's a plugin for firefox...
[06:57] <Flannel> cactusfrog: they will.  Also, non-support (How do I get foo to work?) questions should really be asked in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.  Thanks.
[06:57] <ximal>  hey guys... anyone here using phpmyadmin ? i'm trying to mess with the password yet I cannot get phpmyadmin to accept my password and it will only accept the "nopassword" when using ubuntu programs such as the mysql query stuff ?
[06:57] <shams> can anyone find any information of me like computer name, if i publish a pdf file or an image that exported from my computer to the internet?
[06:57] <joejc> how does firebug do what i want?
[06:58] <nanotube> joejc: it can show you all the details of the requests that the browser sends out.
[06:58] <nanotube> shams: depends on what software you use to make pdf...
[06:59] <joejc> would it be possible to spoof what it sends?
[06:59] <nanotube> shams: and what settings you have as far as embedding info about yourself in it.
[06:59] <cactusfrog> what happens if you type killserver in terminal
[06:59] <cactusfrog> ?
[06:59] <Flannel> joejc: Probably.  This isn't really the best channel to be asking that in.
[06:59] <nanotube> joejc: don't know, try it. haven't used it myself, but i understand it is pretty powerful.
[07:00] <joejc> im determined to get netflix working
[07:00] <slytherin> anybody here with a laptop with atheros wireless card?
[07:00] <cactusfrog> really try vuze
[07:00] <joejc> at last to the point where i fail at drm
[07:00] <joejc> least*
[07:00] <crdlb> slytherin: I have three; why not ask your real question? :)
[07:00] <nanotube> joejc: might be less effort-intensive to try bittorrent instead :)
[07:01] <cactusfrog> why does ever os hate me
[07:01] <cactusfrog> ???
[07:01] <cactusfrog> ubatu firefox stops working
[07:01] <joejc> i want legal
[07:01] <cactusfrog> it is
[07:01] <cactusfrog> (just pretend your in astrea
[07:01] <joejc> even if i need to do something illegal to do it
[07:02] <nanotube> joejc: so what's teh deal with netflix? does it require a newer version of flash or something?
[07:02] <cactusfrog> ok are you paying for netfliks
[07:02] <cactusfrog> or is it your freind
[07:02] <joejc> it uses silverlight (MS flash)
[07:02] <cactusfrog>  /callvote poll
[07:02] <Flannel> cactusfrog: Please stay on topic.  And don't use the enter key as punctuation
[07:02] <nanotube> joejc: isn't there something like "moonlight" to do silverlight for linux?
[07:03] <hippie> strange network I'm on... I can connect to this irc-server but not others...
[07:03] <joejc> yes but that didnt work
[07:03] <nanotube> hippie: this is the best irc server ever - you don't need any other irc servers. :)
[07:03] <joejc> i think it says im moonlight and netflix doesnt like it
[07:04] <nanotube> joejc: ah i see... hence your desire to change headers the browser sends. well, try firebug. if anything can do it, firebug can.
[07:05] <slytherin> crdlb: I installed intrepid yesterday on a laptop and then it failed to boot (kernel panic). Turns out that modules ath_pci and ath_hal needed to be blacklisted. I am wondering why they were not blacklisted by default.
[07:06] <crdlb> slytherin: because madwifi supports some chipsets that ath5k doesn't yet, I think
[07:06] <crdlb> never heard of it causing a kernel panic though
[07:07] <joejc> whats DOM?
[07:08] <Flannel> joejc: This is really offtopic for this channel.  You might try #javascript?  maybe something on irc.mozilla.org?  I'm not really sure.
[07:08] <nanotube> joejc: document object model
[07:08] <nanotube> joejc: you could also try in #firefox
[07:08] <Dextl> So I'm trying to figure out about these public and private key things... but I'm just not getting it.  Does anyone have a few minutes to explain how they work to me?
[07:09] <nanotube> Dextl: tried googling?
[07:09] <Dextl> nanotube: yes, but everything is assuming I know something that I evidently dont
[07:10] <nanotube> Dextl: heh. ic. so can you distill your point of misunderstanding somewhat? so that i know what to address?
[07:10] <illbeatu> what does -y option for sudo apt-get do?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> illbeatu: says yes yo any questions
[07:10] <nanotube> illbeatu: "man apt-get"
[07:10] <marsh> anyone able to install touchkit successfully?
[07:10] <hippie> nanotube, I need the undernet server, as it is there all my friends are ;)
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> illbeatu: it willalso uninstall packages if they get in the way of the package being installed
[07:11] <illbeatu> o
[07:11] <Dextl> nanotube:  all I really know about keys is that they are used for security/encryption reasons and that I need one so I can set up a vpn with my friend.  I don't really get how to make them and how they work exactly
[07:11] <nanotube> hippie: heh well... sorry? :)
[07:11] <Dextl> nanotube:  I made a private key, but I dont know how I get a public key out of it
[07:11] <hippie> nanotube, yeah - guess I have to wait till I come home ;)
[07:11] <slytherin> crdlb: are backport-modules package installed by default?
[07:12] <nanotube> Dextl: openpgp?
[07:12] <Dextl> nanotube: I do not know what that is
[07:12] <crdlb> slytherin: no, but it's on the CD
[07:12] <nanotube> Dextl: what did you use to create the key?
[07:13] <TheMoop> Is there something that would compare to K9copy for GNOME ?
[07:13] <Dextl> nanotube: ssh
[07:13] <hippie> doesn't sshd generate the keypair?
[07:13] <nanotube> Dextl: ah ok, so you created the key, and saved it where? in ~/.ssh, ?
[07:13] <nanotube> hippie: yea, it generates both
[07:13] <CosmiChaos> nanotube: hey deactivating all plugins and reactivating as well as uninstalling no more needed and not upgradable (3.0.6) ;) that fixed it
[07:14] <TheMoop> I'm trying the xDVDShrink program
[07:14] <TheMoop> Doesn't seem too promising
[07:14] <jimmygoon> Flannel, is it possible that moving my home dir messed up my ssh keys
[07:14] <Dextl> nanotube: I saved it wherever it saved it by default.  I think that is it
[07:14] <slytherin> TheMoop: what does k9copy do?
[07:14] <TheMoop> slytherin, backs up DVDs
[07:14] <nanotube> TheMoop: why not just use k9copy? it works on gnome too, you know.
[07:14] <TheMoop> nanotube, Yes, but it runs slow
[07:15] <nanotube> TheMoop: hrm, slow comp? i don't notice kde apps being slow on my gnome de...
[07:15] <TheMoop> nanotube, 1.8 GHz dual core
[07:15] <TheMoop> 2 GBs of RAM
[07:15] <nanotube> Dextl: well, ssh generates both keys, public and private, at the same time. so wherever you saved the private key, the public key should be sitting right next to it there.
[07:15] <TheMoop> 500 GB HD , 128 video card (don't play many games)
[07:15] <slytherin> TheMoop: have you tried dvd95?
[07:16] <TheMoop> slytherin, No, never heard of it
[07:16] <Dextl> nanotube: ah, I see.  so if I go open the document it will be there.  That is neat.  Thank you.
[07:16] <nanotube> Dextl: so look in your ~/.ssh directory, you'll see something like "id_rsa", and "id_rsa.pub". the second one is the public key
[07:16] <slytherin> TheMoop: I have only heard of it. never used. It's in repos
[07:17] <nanotube> slytherin: sounds like windows95....  :)
[07:17] <nanotube> Dextl: so you found it? :)
[07:17] <DigitalKiwi> <3 k9copy
[07:18] <Kartagis> !info mencoder
[07:18] <balrog__> how can you exit fullscreen in okular?
[07:18] <TheMoop> slytherin, It seems like it would work
[07:18] <Dextl> nanotube: well, I found a file that is called id_rsa.pub
[07:18] <Dextl> nanotube: but I cant open it
[07:18] <burcyril10> anyone interesting in helping me get a wired network connection working?
[07:19] <Dykam> I can't run a executable from terminal, whilst double-clicking it from nautilus does work.
[07:19] <nanotube> Dextl: what are you trying to open it /with/? it's a plain text file... so you can just look at it with "more" from the cli, or "gedit" if you like gui...
[07:19] <nanotube> Dykam: how are you trying to run it, and where is it located?
[07:19] <Dykam> /opt/flexsdk
[07:19] <Dykam> I have set the chmod like:
[07:19] <Dykam> -rwxr-xr-x 1
[07:20] <nanotube> Dykam: so what happens when you run "/opt/flexsdk" from the cli?
[07:20] <Dextl> nanotube:  snap.   I have to write the characters using office and then copy&paste them into other programs
[07:21] <parkourlist> hai guyz. . . .
[07:21] <nanotube> Dykam: you must be mistyping the dirnames...
[07:21] <|Azzco|> Hi, I'm trying to set Alt+Right click to rezise windows in compiz. but it just defaults to showing the menu. How do I get rid of this behavior?
[07:21] <nanotube> Dykam: otherwise there would be autocompletion :)
[07:21] <Dykam> I'm in the dir
[07:21] <Dextl> nanotube:  well then.  I feel like I now know a little bit more then I did before.  I dont suppose you could tell me a bit about this signing thing?
[07:21] <Dykam> and typing flashplayer
[07:21] <Dykam> can't be the problem
[07:22] <Dykam> hmm
[07:22] <Dykam> ./flashplayer does work
[07:22] <DigitalKiwi> use ./name
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: are you typing "./flashplayer" maybe? :)
[07:22] <parkourlist> where's the girls????
[07:22] <Dykam> why doesn't it work without..
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: ah there it is :)
[07:22] <nanotube> because that dir is not in your default search path
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: so the shell doesn't look for executables there by default.
[07:22] <Dykam> but I'm right in that dir... must be a difference with windows
[07:22] <nanotube> Dykam: if you add "." to your PATH it will. but that's generally not a great idea.
[07:23] <Dykam> hehe
[07:23] <nanotube> Dykam: so that's not in there by default.
[07:23] <nanotube> Dykam: and the shell only does exactly what you tell it to. so "." isn't there, so it won't look there. :)
[07:23] <Dykam> and why does this not work: "flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer"
[07:23] <Kartagis> coughcoughchmod +x coughcough
[07:23] <Dykam> Kartagis, not?
[07:24] <Dykam> already done '¬¬
[07:24] <nanotube> Dextl: well, encryption works as follows: you encrypt with someone's public key, send it to them, and only they can decrypt it because only they have the private key
[07:24] <Dykam> export flashplayer=/opt/flexsdk/runtimes/player/10/lnx/flashplayer -> doesn't allow me to use flashplayer as a command
[07:25] <TheMoop> slytherin, It seems to be working okie dokey, I'll let it go and see what happens
[07:25] <nanotube> Dextl: signing works in reverse. person encrypts something with their /private/ key, which can only be decrypted with a public key. so, then if you can decrypt something with that person's public key, than means that whoever sent it had access to the private key - and therefore, is the person in question. so it's a form of identity checking.
[07:25] <artur_> hello
[07:25] <marsh> anyone able to install touchkit successfully?
[07:25] <marsh> i need to install one on a POS device
[07:26] <bindaas> Dykam: export is not for that purpose ,specify in *path*
[07:26] <Dykam> bindaas, but is only for one executable
[07:26] <Dykam> If that's the only way, I'll do it
[07:26] <Dextl> nanotube:  allright... allright.. that all makes sense.  but what about this thing I always hear about with people signing each other's keys and whatnot?
[07:27] <balrog__> how do you archive a folder and split it into 700MB-size chunks?
[07:27] <Dykam> thanks bindaas and nanotube, it does work now
[07:28] <abhi__> my ubuntu has become too slow from yesterday, all windows and programs open too slowly also firefox opens pages slow?how to restore?
[07:28] <bindaas> Dykam: cheers :)
[07:28] <marsh> big favor
[07:28] <nanotube> Dykam: if you want an alias, use "alias flashplayer=/opt/blablabla".
[07:28] <Dykam> nanotube, ah, alias, thanks
[07:28] <nanotube> Dykam: but really the standard thing is to just append that dir to your PATH
[07:28] <abhi__> i cleaned temp and removed wine, then too no effect in performance and speed
[07:28] <Dykam> ok
[07:28] <marsh> can someone make a binary installer for me of this driver...  http://www.touchkit.com/Drivers.htm
[07:28] <nanotube> Dextl: that's about the web of trust :)
[07:28] <marsh> click on ubuntu / debian
[07:29] <beannieman> whats easier to setup on a dedicated server Debain or Ubuntun?
[07:29] <SpinachHead> should libflashsupport cause firefox to crash?  Flash sites almost always make it crash, now but without it, I get no sound in flash.
[07:29] <b1n42y> how do i restart my sound server its stuck in a loop after playing chronium
[07:30] <b1n42y> !sound
[07:30] <nanotube> Dextl: say you have a public key which claims to be from john doe? how do you know it really is him, and not bob? well, if there's a chain of trust from you to johndoes key, then you can know. say, you know mike, who knows kevin, who knows john. so kevin signs john's key to certify that he knows john and that this is really his key. then mike signs kevins key, and mike you know personally. so thus, a chain of trust is established from yo
[07:30] <nanotube> u to john.
[07:30] <burcyril10> can't establish a network connection, hardware seems fine, it just can
[07:30] <burcyril10> t get ip from dhcp
[07:30] <SpinachHead> or, If I was going to reinstall flash and have sound supports, what should I uninstall and then install?
[07:31] <abhi__> my ubuntu has become too slow from yesterday, all windows and programs open too slowly also firefox opens pages slow?how to restore?any one please help
[07:31] <Dextl> nanotube: that is just about the coolest thing ever.  I like ubuntu.  it makes me like computers again.
[07:32] <Dykam> haha
[07:32] <dj_> ubuntu is awesome
[07:32] <nanotube> Dextl: glad to brighten your day :)
[07:32] <Dextl> nanotube: thank you.  and thank you again for answering my questions
[07:32] <nanotube> Dextl: even cooler: there are such things as "key signing parties", where people get together, hang out, and sign each other's public keys. :)
[07:32] <nanotube> Dextl: no prob. :)
[07:33] <SpinachHead> Does anyone get sound in flash without libflashsupport?
[07:33] <dj_> I was having issues for about a month cause i had no clue what i was doing tryin to mount a phone ,I reinstalled and gave it another shot did nothing and now it works halfway
[07:33] <rww> SpinachHead: I do. It works out of the box for me :/
[07:33] <Dextl> nanotube:  I read xkcd, so I knew about those... but I never understood that concept until right now
[07:33] <SpinachHead> which packaget rww?
[07:33] <rww> SpinachHead: flashplugin-nonfree. I think I'm just lucky with it.
[07:34] <nanotube> Dextl: yea, xkcd rocks! :) (for the most part... it's kind of a letdown when he just does something randomly weird and not really geeky... )
[07:34] <SpinachHead> it used to work, but then the sound stopped working so I installed libflashsupport which I guess fixes the pulseaudio sound problems, but now it crashes firefox like every other flash movie
[07:34] <beannieman> if there is anyone with a spare moment could they pm please, i have a few questions about a dedicated server, and getting it setup correctly
[07:35] <dj_> can anyone suggest the term to search for or give me a link so I can set permissions on a usb flash drive to make it read/write
[07:35] <Dextl> nanotube:  true.  I know certain parties wern't exactly a fan of Monday's comic... but for the most part its pretty much the best strip on the net.
[07:35] <SpinachHead> so adobe-flashplugin is the same as flash-plugin nonfree?
[07:35] <nanotube> Dextl: speaking of which... i'll go check out what's new on xkcd. :)
[07:36] <Dextl> nanotube: well snap, it is technically wendsday today
[07:36] <rww> dj_: sudo chown -R yourusername /path/to/mountpoint
[07:37] <Spacin> Anyone know how to add scripts to here?
[07:37] <burcyril10> any one who can help me establish a connection to dhcp to get assigned and ip (on private network)
[07:37] <rww> Spacin: What do you mean?
[07:37] <XPS_M1330> I installed XFCE to try it out. Then I came back to KDE, and now my OpenOffice is all ugly, seems like it uses XFCE's graphical renderer! The icons have been changed too, for those from XFCE (circle with bird)
[07:37] <XPS_M1330> now I have removed all the XFCE packages (checked all packages in history), but openoffice didn't come back to normal...
[07:37] <wartalker> burcyril10: dhclient
[07:37] <Spacin> I've tried many times to add a script to another server in xchat. And I can't figure it out
[07:37] <Spacin> It just will not load a script
[07:37] <dj_> thanks rww
[07:37] <kc8pxy> where can i get an iso of 8.04, pre-8.04.1 ?
[07:38] <nanotube> Dextl: indeed it is. :)
[07:38] <rww> kc8pxy: umm. 8.04.1 is just 8.04 with updates that you'd get through apt-get anyway, you know. Any particular reason you need one?
[07:38] <burcyril10> wartalker: please explain to me process a little - switch between the two computers is slow
[07:38] <sa125> hi - anyone knows which ports are typically used by pidgin (for msn, gtalk, aim)?
[07:39] <lb> can someone point me in the direction of a howto setup a swap file on my sd card on the eeepc running ubuntu 8.10 thx
[07:40] <Spacin> Any ideas..?
[07:40] <quentusrex> What would cause munin to suddenly not allow telnet into the port 4949?
[07:40] <quentusrex> All other ports work fine.
[07:40] <quentusrex> and munin allows telnet from localhost...
[07:40] <quentusrex> but not from any remote host.
[07:40] <nanotube> Spacin: hrm,,, try in #xchat, maybe?
[07:40] <Spacin> ok.. thank you
[07:41] <kc8pxy> rww:  I'm trying to setup an approx server, with as many updates to 8.04 as possible. if i install an 8.04 pre-update, approx will cache them all,  am i right? in that right, older is better :)
[07:42] <Diesel> Can some one tell me what is the safe way to partition my hard drive On Unbuntu with out any error's
[07:42] <Spacin> ....Oh well. Seems no one's in there that's talking
[07:42] <kc8pxy> Diesel:  do you have another os on the drive?
[07:42] <Diesel> kc8pxy,  no
[07:43] <crdlb> kc8pxy: I don't understand what you're doing, but: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.0/
[07:43] <Diesel> kc8pxy,  Im gong to in stalll Bt and Ubuntu Ubuntu is running
[07:43] <kc8pxy> Diesel:  then my pick would be to let the installer use guided,  use entire disk :)
[07:44] <natschil> hello, does anybody know howto mount a ext3 virtualbox expanding image?
[07:44] <lacqui> hi.  i'm having a crash with evince on intrepid
