[06:25] <Myrtti> Mba7eth: on the same line that you've got your home, does it have your username twice as well?
[06:26] <beniamino> can anyone explain why hardy is trying to install libtotem-plparser10 version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.1 over an existing 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 ?
[06:26] <johny-b-goode> fouad: hehe, maybe next time I install it, I will leave it alone. :)
[06:26] <tv7497> madpilot:well how can it respond like human
[06:26] <tv7497> *him
[06:26] <Flannel> beniamino: Its a bug, just sit tight and it'll be fixed
[06:26] <fouad> johny-b-goode, that is your system , your file , so it's up to you :)
[06:26] <Myrtti> johny-b-goode: no but really, it's not a smart thing to do. Ubuntu was designed to use sudo, there are plenty of things that don't work the way they were supposed to run, now
[06:26] <Madpilot> tv7497, because it's a very clever script. And the most intelligent thing in this channel, as I said
[06:26] <Mba7eth> Myrtti: yes for the user and th group name
[06:26] <Joe_> and ubuntu is easier to install than gentoo?
[06:26] <fouad> Myrtti, like what ?
[06:26] <Madpilot> Joe_, much
[06:27] <Joe_> cool
[06:27] <johny-b-goode> well, I will leave it alone next time guys. :) I just didn't know and was a little too fast to change it. :)
[06:27] <Starnestommy> Joe_: almost every linux distribution is easier than gentoo
[06:27] <beniamino> Flannel: ok, thanks
[06:27] <Flannel> johny-b-goode: You can re-lock it, sudo passwd -l root
[06:27] <johny-b-goode> so basically the package updater is asking for a pass, I didn't know what to give it....
[06:27] <nakedgoat> but emerge rox
[06:27] <dabbill> When i try to mount the ISO DVD95 creates says, Windows cannot access this disc. The disc might be corrupt. Make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recognizes.
[06:27] <m1r> joe_ , for preformace on old pc's try xubuntu or fluxbuntu
[06:27] <Starnestommy> johny-b-goode: yout user's password
[06:27] <johny-b-goode> Flannel: ok sudo <rootpass> -l root?
[06:27] <johny-b-goode> Starnestommy: it works. :)
[06:27] <tv7497> madpilot : sir well my splash screen isnt working i tried bootupmanager there its idel (usplash utilty ) any way can i ficx this sir
[06:27] <UF_Linguist> this is a test, can anyone read me?
[06:27] <isforinsects> When should I expect hardy to update firefox to 3RC1?
[06:27] <Madpilot> johny-b-goode, user pass, always.
[06:27] <Flannel> johny-b-goode: no.  `sudo passwd -l root`
[06:27] <tv7497> *fix
[06:27] <kajo> UF_Linguist, yes.
[06:28] <psykroll> mlr: I'm trying not to lose hope
[06:28] <Flannel> johny-b-goode: then when it prompts for a password, enter your users password
[06:28] <Joe_> m1r:  why are those better on old ones?
[06:28] <johny-b-goode> Flannel: it says password changed. So it changed it to something and locked it?
[06:28] <Madpilot> tv7497, I'm not sure - never broken that part of an Ubuntu install myself...
[06:28] <m1r> Joe_ , they eat less pc power
[06:28] <johny-b-goode> Flannel: okie dokie. updater is working.
[06:28] <Flannel> johny-b-goode: no, it just locked it.
[06:28] <Joe_> ok
[06:28] <johny-b-goode> Flannel: thanks. :)
[06:28] <Flannel> kajo: Go ahead and manually remove the open office packages, and then try it again.
[06:28] <tv7497> madpilot: k sir
[06:28] <kajo> Flannel, is there a way to 'force' the uninstall?
[06:28] <nakedgoat> psykroll, try creating a file in your homedir or where ver, called like .start_metacity.sh
[06:28] <kajo> Flannel, thanks.
[06:28] <johny-b-goode> ok all root is lock.
[06:29] <m1r> joe_ , i prefer openbox for my system, not so easy to config, but runs like dream
[06:29] <nakedgoat> psykroll inside it #!/bin/bash
[06:29] <nakedgoat> sleep 10 && metacity;
[06:29] <johny-b-goode> under lock
[06:29] <johny-b-goode> thanks all. You guys are great help. :)
[06:29] <nakedgoat> add that to sessions, make it exec first.
[06:29] <jason__> hi, could somebody tell me how to install firefox on ubuntu ?
[06:29] <johny-b-goode> don't worry the root is not open. WIll sudo ....
[06:29] <johny-b-goode> jason__:sudo  apt-get install firefox
[06:29] <johny-b-goode> jason__: but it should be already installed, no?
[06:29] <Tankado> anyone have a good manual for using emacs for C? (when i try to compile with it its tring to compile Lisp code)
[06:29] <UF_Linguist> thank you for the spredy reply. Is this a channel that can be used for.help with Ubuntu?
[06:30] <Madpilot> jason^, it's there by default
[06:30] <jason__> well right now i have firefox 3 beta 5
[06:30] <Joe_> m1r:   so with ubuntu when there is a new version, I don't need to brun another iso for it?
[06:30] <Madpilot> UF_Linguist, it is
[06:30] <Joe_> burn
[06:30] <BlakJak> Anyone know why the latest set of upgrades for Xubuntu (7.10) did weird things to the menu bar ?
[06:30] <jason__> the release candidate 1 for firefox 3 was released today
[06:30] <jason__> so i downloaded that.. and i'm not sure how to install
[06:30] <m1r> joe_ , only once u install , the people take care of rest for you :)
[06:30] <tv7497> madpiilot: sir u know any 1 who can help this out
[06:30] <jason__> also, i dont think that version is on the repositories
[06:30] <dabbill> When i try to mount the ISO DVD95 creates says, Windows cannot access this disc. The disc might be corrupt.  Try asking  your question again here in a few minutes.
[06:31] <jaffarkelshac> i have a dwl-g122 usb wifi, it has this annoying thing at least with me, when i plug it in, it stays on for a while its disconnected, i plug it back in can even connect to internet and use it and it gets disconnected whilst using it, any suggestions
[06:31] <m1r> Joe_ , depends of what u will chose, there is too many options :)
[06:31] <Joe_> m1r:  what your favorites ones?
[06:31] <UF_Linguist> can anyone tell me if an ossue I'm having is known? I am running the latest firefox and when I play anything, firefox will crash about 1/3 of the time.
[06:32] <m1r> joe_ , what ubuntu ships, i use :)
[06:32] <Geoffrey2> jason__, it usually takes a day or two for the repositories to get updated to the latest version....
[06:32] <jason__> okay, then i guess i'll wait until it gets onto the repositories
[06:32] <jason__> thanks for the help
[06:32] <jaffarkelshac> i assume is something to do with flash probably youtube UF_Linguist
[06:32] <m1r> good night all
[06:32] <Madpilot> jason__, I'm not sure how the Firefox update will be handled by Ubuntu this time. Usually only security updates are issued to existing Ubuntu versions.
[06:33] <UF_Linguist> sometimes youtube, but really anything with flash, and sound I suppose if that helps
[06:33] <jaffarkelshac> good morning m/r
[06:33] <isforinsects> UF_Linguist, have the same issue
[06:33] <BlakJak> noone?
[06:33] <bullgard4> What is meant by the term nm-applet 0.6.5 > Connection information > Active Connection Information' > 'Primary_DNS'?
[06:33] <kajo> UF_Linguist, do you have minimal ram?
[06:33] <isforinsects> UF_Linguist, I am made to understand it has something to do with xulrunner1.9
[06:33] <Phirephly> jason__: With all the FF love, it won't be long.
[06:33] <kajo> UF_Linguist, or perhaps swappy file issues?
[06:33] <uwo> hi all. how do i set up which embedded player (plugin) firefox uses for .wmv files?
[06:33] <jaffarkelshac> its a known issue, i use epiphany for all my flash if am watching a lot
[06:33] <layo> BlakJak, you can choose the " see the different ..."
[06:33] <UF_Linguist> not necessarily glad to hear, but at least it's not just me
[06:34] <UF_Linguist> epiphany? Is it a flash substitute?
[06:34] <isforinsects> epiphany?  No.
[06:34] <jaffarkelshac> its a browser
[06:34] <BlakJak> layo: for example, the 'door' didnt present the 'logout/suspend/reboot' dialogue but instead simply let me quit the x4ce somethingorother... and when i did.. i was left with a desktop and no menus
[06:34] <UF_Linguist> oh, oops. Is it more stable with flash? I've noticed firefox 2 has no such issue.
[06:35] <Tankado> Is there any way to change emacs from Lisp Interaction to  C Interaction ?>
[06:35] <isforinsects> UF_Linguist, I'm going to try the latest firefox release 3rc1 and see if that helps
[06:35] <tv7497> guys my splash screen /boot screen not working well
[06:35] <UF_Linguist> thanks.
[06:35] <tv7497> i tried to reconfigure x screen but of no use
[06:35] <jaffarkelshac> whats up with ubuntu sometimes, nothing works, i mean everything does not open, even quit does not open the only way i have been able to get out it is hard reboot
[06:36] <psykroll> nakedgoat: I have no clue how to do that, apparently.
[06:36] <UF_Linguist> also, when you shut Ubuntu down, is it /supposed/ to have vertical alternating lines of odd colors for a second?
[06:36] <kajo> UF_Linguist, I also would like to know that...
[06:36] <[mando]> I get that also.
[06:36] <UF_Linguist> hahahaha
[06:36] <koheleth> were is acroread in the repos?
[06:37] <nakedgoat> psykroll the whole thing I told u or how to make it exec?
[06:37] <UF_Linguist> ok, once again glad to hear it's not just me
[06:37] <tv7497> even my boot up manager saying the same thng usplash utility not working any help guys
[06:37] <UF_Linguist> well I'm going to go I will return as I have issues. Glad to have found the place.
[06:37] <Phirephly> Alright, everyone pray for me because if I screwed up, I'm gonna have to reinstall ubuntu :)
[06:37] <nakedgoat> psykroll here's a crazy idea, install a new, or reinstall your windows manager :)?
[06:37] <layo> BlakJak, you cannt logon the x windows?
[06:37] <psykroll> nakedgoat: I don't know how to make it or make it exec
[06:38] <nakedgoat> to create it, sudo gedit <filename> or pico, or vi ect...
[06:38] <BlakJak> layo: I was in XWindows, I got prompted for some updates, which I applied. I found that Firefox was being very weird, so I went to reboot... the 'door' button  (which moved from right to left aligned) didntd give me the usual reboot dialogues.
[06:38] <nakedgoat> i belive u want chmod a+x<filename>
[06:39] <BlakJak> oh, and post upgrades the shortcuts for firefox (etc) in the menu bar got replaced with defaults that pointed nowhere
[06:39] <nakedgoat> wanan sudo that also
[06:39] <happosad> how to rip DVD to FW400-harddrive whit k9copy?
[06:39] <BlakJak> i used alt-f2 and ran an xterm, and then init 6'd - it looked the same on reboot
[06:40] <tv7497> blakjak : sir my splash screen has been screwed up not working
[06:40] <BlakJak> tv7497: what is a splash screen exactly?
[06:41] <nakedgoat> psykroll I take it you've tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[06:41] <koheleth> has acroread been removed from ubuntu?
[06:41] <tv7497> blakjak : d boot screen of ubuntu that starts after the grub

[06:41] <eduard> am new user of ubuntu can anybody help me
[06:41] <happosad> how to rip DVD to FW400-harddrive whit k9copy?
[06:41] <koheleth> with what
[06:41] <Enselic> eduard: what is the problem?
[06:41] <kajo> What is the difference between installing fluxbuntu, and installing ubuntu & then aptitude-install-fluxbox?
[06:42] <legend2440> tv7497: what is wrong with the usplash screen?
[06:42] <eduard> i don't know how to use some applications
[06:42] <Enselic> kajo: if you install ubuntu first, you will also have a lot of packages installed that fluxbuntu wouldn't install
[06:42] <Enselic> eduard: what do you want to do?
[06:42] <tv7497> legend2440 :sir i goes blank after grubs load evry time i need to press cntrl-alt-f1 to get text version
[06:42] <eduard> i saw good features in youtube
[06:42] <psykroll> nakedgoat: assume nothing and you'll save me embarassment. I was expecting an easier to maintain OS.
[06:43] <tv7497> legend2440 :*it
[06:43] <kajo> How does one cause the login screen to never 'go gui', and just go to a terminal login from a standard ubuntu install?
[06:43] <BlakJak> tv7497: Have you tried forcing a more limited video mode on boot?
[06:43] <Flannel> kajo: stop GDM from starting
[06:43] <tv7497> blakjak : nope how do u do that
[06:43] <kajo> Flannel, what is GDM?
[06:43] <wesley_> that might be because ubuntu isn't reading your graphics card, try booting in recovery mode
[06:43] <Enselic> eduard: when talking to someone on IRC, please direct statements to nicks. Try Ens<Tab> [message]. That way people will get notified when you say something to them
[06:43] <Flannel> kajo: Thats the thing you log in to
[06:43] <blah569> Whenever I install this GTK theme, it tells me that the theme was succesfully installed, but then the theme is not visible on the list of themes to apply.
[06:43] <nakedgoat> what excatly are you going to lose re-installing your window manager?
[06:43] <eduard> ok
[06:44] <legend2440> tv7497: install startupmanager. there is an option in there for usplash themes manager
[06:44] <layo> BlakJak, did u resolve?
[06:44] <psykroll> nakedgoat: it may be doing something, but it doesn't look like it
[06:44] <nakedgoat> psykroll background and theme?
[06:44] <Drezard> whats another domain of a repo for ubuntu 7.10?
[06:44] <kajo> Flannel, what all does GDM do that I would then need to do manually in its stead?
[06:44] <BlakJak> layo: no, i wanted to know if this was something seen before.
[06:44] <Drezard> as in like, au.archive.ubuntu.com except a university one
[06:44] <blah569> Any ideas as to why?
[06:44] <tv7497> legend2441 : done it sir even removed d original splash screen and added a new 1 from gnome.org still no use
[06:45] <Flannel> kajo: Whenevre you wanted to log in, either start GDM then log in, or log in then startx
[06:45] <Alex_Gaynor> Will ubuntu push the FF3 RC1?
[06:45] <Flannel> Alex_Gaynor: for 8.04.1, most likely, yes.
[06:45] <legend2440> tv7497: which theme you using? usplash-theme-ubuntu?
[06:46] <dabbill> When i try to mount the ISO DVD95 creates says, Windows cannot access this disc. The disc might be corrupt. Make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recognizes.
[06:46]  * Phirephly frowns.
[06:46] <Phirephly> Didn't work yet.
[06:46] <kajo> Flannel, what file controls what apps are loaded on system start up? Is it dangerous to modify?
[06:46] <Flannel> !bum | kajo
[06:46] <tv7497> legend2440 : how do u check it sir
[06:46] <Alex_Gaynor> Flannel: So it won't be updated the way the small releases were in gutsy(from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> for exmaple)?
[06:46] <blah569> Does anyone have any ideas to my question?  I am sorry to continuusoly post, but this is an active IRC channel.
[06:46] <Flannel> Alex_Gaynor: Bugfixes are always changed, yes.
[06:47] <bullgard4> What is meant by the term nm-applet 0.6.5 > Connection information > Active Connection Information' > 'Primary DNS'?
[06:47] <kajo> blah569, keep reposting your question, not just references to your question- after all, this is an active IRC channel.
[06:47] <tv7497> flannel : sir every time u use ! u r calling bot ????????
[06:47] <legend2440> tv7497: open startup manager  look under appearance should say which theme your using
[06:47] <Alex_Gaynor> Flannel: Ok thats what I meant, it will go out with apt-get, I wasn't asking about putting it onto the CD
[06:47] <psykroll> nakedgoat: I turned the theme to a basic one with a solid color background
[06:47] <blah569> Whenever I install this GTK theme, it tells me that the theme was succesfully installed, but then the theme is not visible on the list of themes to apply.
[06:48] <samf12412> RT2500 or RT2600 chipset for wireless, which is better?
[06:48] <nakedgoat> psykroll well, I meant what would u lose by reinstall ubuntuu-desktop
[06:48] <Flannel> tv7497: Indeed

[06:52] <Devil_Angel> hey guys, quick question, hopefully with a simple answer. =)    I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu with another popular OS and the installer is telling me that I have no hdd, or it can't find a hdd. has anyone else encountered this?
[06:52] <dabbill> Flannel, k9copy doesnt create a iso
[06:52] <Drezard> ..............
[06:53] <AngryBacon> What would cause a PC to randomly shutoff other than a brownout or bad PSU?
[06:53] <kajo> Firefox keeps crashing on me when I try and log in to either facebook or gmail (gmail can be worked around by accessing the HTML version). It did not used to do this. Anyone have an idea of where to start?
[06:53] <nakedgoat> psykroll did you try creating another user?
[06:53] <mauro> kajo: I have been checking the forums but i couldnot find aa solution
[06:53] <tv7497> mauro : sound problem google it out dude there is a huge foroum regrding this dude may be something like this sound noy working in ubuntu in google search
[06:53] <Flannel> dabbill: What does it create?
[06:53] <kajo> mauro, I would look, but my firefox is crashing on me. :(
[06:54] <legend2440> tv7497: is usplash-theme-ubuntu installed?
[06:54] <nakedgoat> psykroll still there ;) did u already try creating a new user?
[06:54] <Flannel> kajo: Heh.  Xubuntu may use firefox.  This one is a better choice actually: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde (remember to remove the install kubuntu-desktop command at the end)
[06:54] <mauro> kajo: i have checked a lot of forums but.....
[06:54] <dabbill> Flannel, just gives the audio / video folder
[06:55] <Flannel> dabbill: Just make an ISO from those folders
[06:55] <tv7497> mauro : check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784449
[06:55] <q_a_z_steve> can anyone help me with DVDDecrypter and DVDshrink through wine? http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/ isn't helping so much!
[06:55] <kajo> Help?? I am running 'top', and it tells me that 253676k out of 320808k are being used, even though I am only running xchat and a terminal with 4 tabs (3 tabs doing nothing currently...)
[06:55] <Starnestommy> kajo: are any other things running?
[06:55] <kajo> Starnestommy, Not a single other thing.
[06:56] <Flannel> kajo: Unused RAM is wasted RAM.  Linux stores stuff it think may be useful in RAM so it can get to it quickly.  If other apps need that RAM, it'll be cleared for them
[06:56] <psykroll> nakedgoat i just checked my wife's profile, it works fine
[06:56] <D0ugh_B0ii> what is the code to get the utils for ndiswrapper?

[06:56] <nakedgoat> psykroll , just create a new user..
[06:56] <Starnestommy> kajo: top only shows xchat and gnome-terminal?
[06:56] <kajo> Flannel, I understand this, but 75+% being used on xchat and a terminal?
[06:56] <Flannel> kajo: No, 75% being filled, not used.
[06:56] <mudd`Hossam> why isnt apt-get install mysql-server working? it keeps failing when trying to initialize mysqld
[06:56] <kajo> Starnestommy, it shows Xorg, xchat, and top as the first three things.
[06:56] <dabbill> Flannel, what program to make them iso, or how to just burn them so they will play in a normal DVD Player?
[06:56] <psykroll> nakedgoat I can create a new root admin?
[06:57] <psykroll> and delete this one?
[06:57] <nakedgoat> yes sure
[06:57] <psykroll> nakedgoat sweet
[06:57] <Flannel> dabbill: if you take the contents of those files and burn them (so those folders are in the root of the DVD) it will work in DVD players

[06:58] <robotic> does Ubuntu automatically log a history of all my assigned IP addresses anywhere?
[06:58] <legend2440> tv7497: open system>administration>Synaptic and see if there is green mark next to usplash-theme-ubuntu
[06:58] <kajo> xorg shows 14m, xchat shows 14m...
[06:58] <kajo> xchat just shot to 23m for a second.
[06:58] <Starnestommy> kajo: or type f then Q to sort by resident memory use
[06:58] <Madpilot> kajo, used, or just in use as cache? linux is quite aggressive about caching - might as well use available ram, after all
[06:58] <D0ugh_B0ii> what is the code to get the utils for ndiswrapper?
[06:59] <Starnestommy> D0ugh_B0ii: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[06:59] <kajo> Madpilot, all I know is what top tells me. Does top distinguish the two? WHAT would it be caching right now???
[06:59] <Flannel> D0ugh_B0ii: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[06:59] <D0ugh_B0ii> ty
[06:59] <mauro> tv7497: ???
[06:59] <kajo> Starnestommy, typing f gave me a screen that displayed what each field means...
[06:59] <rinda> oooiii
[06:59] <Starnestommy> kajo: press Q then enter
[06:59] <werther> q
[07:00] <werther> Q
[07:00] <kajo> right. By then I had already screwed with 'q' to try and quit, before I realized how it worked.
[07:00] <Madpilot> kajo, I don't think top does distingush, actually
[07:00] <Peng> /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, the SSHv1 host key, could still be affected by the OpenSSL issue, right?
[07:00] <kajo> top does tell me 'buffers', if that is important, under mem, Madpilot
[07:00] <tv7497> mauro: r try resetting alsa
[07:00] <tv7497> sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset
[07:01] <kajo> Starnestommy, what info do you want?
[07:01] <tv7497> legend2440 :yes sir there is a green mark
[07:01] <Madpilot> kajo, "man top" for all the info - I think top is one of the lucky programs with a man page that's actually useful
[07:01] <tv7497> mauro : sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset
[07:02] <Rat409> kajo: free -m is useful sometimes
[07:02] <mauro> tv7497: and now?
[07:02] <legend2440> tv7497: then in startup manager you should have option to choose usplash-theme-ubuntu as usplash theme
[07:02] <tv7497> maoro : now ur sound works ??????/
[07:02] <kajo> Rat409, thanks.

[07:03] <tv7497> legend2440: no sir there is not hoe do i add this
[07:03] <kajo> Those are: total, used, free, shared buffers, cache
[07:03] <tv7497> legend2440: how
[07:03] <kajo> shared, buffers, ca...*
[07:04] <tv7497> mauro:dude is ur sound working now
[07:04] <tv7497> mauro : dude
[07:04] <mauro> tv7497: nop, there are a red cross in the KmMix near to the date
[07:04] <kajo> Starnestommy, Rat409, Madpilot- when I quit top to run "free -m", that last screen shows Xorg taking 83% of mem...
[07:05] <legend2440> tv7497: in startup manager in Boot Options is Show Boot Splash box checked?
[07:05] <tv7497> mauro : dont know dude try asking flannel sir
[07:05] <Starnestommy> kajo: try logging out them back in
[07:05] <Morph3us> hi.. i need help.. my xorg suddenly restart, closing my session
[07:05] <robotic> is there any list of old IP addresses I registered under?
[07:05] <tv7497> legend2240 : yes sir
[07:06] <Rat409> robotic: try /var/log/kernel.log etc....
[07:06] <legend2440> tv7497: i would try reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu
[07:07] <tv7497> legend2440 : how do u do it sir
[07:07] <robotic> Rat409: thanks!
[07:07] <legend2440> tv7497: in synaptic right click usplash-theme-ubuntu choose reinstall
[07:08] <tv7497> legend2440: sir cant u do with sudo apt-get install sir
[07:08] <tv7497> legend2440: rather than synaptic
[07:09] <legend2440> tv7497: yes
[07:09] <FujiMuji> what happened to workspaces on a cube in ubuntu 8.04?
[07:09] <RyanPrior> FujiMuji: still there.
[07:09] <FujiMuji> how do I get it?
[07:09] <nakedgoat> FujiMuji : ur video drivers :)
[07:10] <Flannel> FujiMuji: install simple-ccsm and you can change it back to being on a cube
[07:10] <RyanPrior> FujiMuji: install simple-ccsm if you want an easy way to get it, install compizconfig-settings-manager if you want full tweakage.
[07:10] <tv7497> legend2440 : does this works sir sudo apt-get install -reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu
[07:10] <FujiMuji> it used to be that you went System>Preferences>Desktop Effects
[07:11] <RyanPrior> The program 'apt-get' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install apt
[07:11] <RyanPrior> lawlz
[07:11] <robotic> Rat409: No luck... it doesn't have IP addresses in the kernel log.  thanks though!
[07:11] <mauro> tv7497: ??????????
[07:11] <legend2440> tv7497:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu    two dashes next to reinstall

[07:12] <smultron> babolat: it's the other way around. i installed ubuntu ontop of an existing windows install. will this still work?
[07:12] <babolat> soshka: try launching it using the terminal so that you get an idea what causes the problem
[07:13] <FujiMuji> thanks for the help, I'll see if it works
[07:13] <babolat> smultron: yes. read up and you'll see how to recover Grub
[07:13] <kajo> WHY?!?!? is firefox crashing when I try to get on to facebook? It did not used to do this. :\

[07:13] <tv7497> !alsa | mauro
[07:13] <babolat> mojo_: yes i do. but the choice of nick was arbitrary
[07:14] <kajo> would this happen as a result of uninstalling flash or something? I think I am just going to do a fresh install....
[07:14] <Morph3us> Hi.. Hardy has Xorg problems?
[07:14] <babolat> soshka: so when you launch the program, a window is drawn but instantly closes or disappears, right?
[07:14] <soshka> yup

[07:16] <bjron> anyone know how to set the default soundcard that pulseaudio will use?
[07:16] <kajo> If I do a minimal install of 8.04, and then aptitude install fluxbox, what software will I have installed on my computer? Will this prevent things like firefox, pidgin, totem, etc, from just being installed?
[07:16] <babolat> soshka: please read up -->https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/192624 a workaround has been presented
[07:16] <tv7497> !alsa | bjron
[07:17] <terrestre> !minimal
[07:17] <Finnish> Hmm, why I can't install Krdm?
[07:17] <tv7497> bjron : dude check ubottu post out
[07:17]  * psaikido greets
[07:17] <bjron> tv7497: thanks, but alsa works fine, pulse even works when I tell it which card to use, problem is, it has the wrong card set as default
[07:18] <Jdrowlands> hi
[07:18] <psaikido> i've managed to mess up my apache2 - permission denied when i go http://localhost - before fiddling with my username..what shoudl i look at to fix it?
[07:19] <Morph3us> Hi.. plz i need some help.. my graphical interface in hardy is restarting itself.. randomly :(
[07:19] <dopievoli> Morph3us: is you're compiz turned on?
[07:19] <kajo> What is the installed on the minimal CD image like?
[07:20] <Morph3us> dopievoli, i really don't know (sorry, i am newbie)
[07:21] <tmapj> could some tell me how i can deal with this error, i cant install any software because "<program name> cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)"
[07:21] <Morph3us> dopievoli, how could i know if compiz is running? :S
[07:21] <dopievoli> PM chat
[07:21] <psaikido> permission denied when i go http://localhost ..what shoudl i look at to fix permissions in this context?
[07:21] <babolat> tmapj: are you on a 64bit machine?
[07:21] <jscinoz> I want to set up a 4 disk raid0 array, my motherboard is an asus striker ii formula which has the nvidia fakeraid. for the highest possible speed what would be the best way to do this? lvm, nvraid, md, dmraid or something else/combination of the above?
[07:21] <BrahmsC> this is insane!  have this channel been this big last year ?
[07:21] <tmapj> babolat no 32
[07:21] <macd> BrahmsC, for the past few years.
[07:22] <robotic> does anyone know where SSH keys live?
[07:22] <psaikido> BrahmsC: it's like yelling in a train station
[07:22] <macd> robotic, in ~/.ssh/
[07:22] <robotic> macd: thanks!
[07:23] <babolat> tmapj: is your add/remove Apps window closed now?
[07:23] <tmapj> babolat: no its open
[07:23] <onexused> I'm using Firestarter to configure my firewall.  According to the events tab, a number of IPs keep trying to contact my computer on UDP port 26913.  I can't find this port in any port list.  Do I need to do anything about this?  I already have the firewall set to use a whitelist (26913 isn't on it) and silently drop packets.
[07:23] <babolat> tmapj: please close it and in a terminal, do: sudo apt-get update
[07:23] <macd> onexused, sounds like some automated attack, Id just silenty drop
[07:23] <tv7497> legend2440: no sir nothing yet same old problem
[07:23] <psaikido> permission denied when i go http://localhost ..what shoudl i look at to fix apache2 permissions? anyone?
[07:23] <legend2440> bjron: read man asoundconf tells how to set default soundcard to use
[07:23] <onexused> macd: Okay.  Thanks.
[07:24] <dopievoli> Morph3us: are you in the log on screen?
[07:24] <macd> psaikido, does accessing via http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ work?
[07:24] <legend2440> bjron asoundconf list will list available cards
[07:24] <tmapj> babolat, ok its finished, now what?
[07:24] <BrahmsC> psaikido: i can see that,  looks like america is asleep right now so it's bearable :p
[07:24] <Morph3us> dopievoli, after X restart itself, i get the login screen
[07:24] <psaikido> macd: no :(
[07:25] <babolat> tmapj: ok. now do: sud apt-get upgrade
[07:25] <legend2440> tv7497: blank screen at boot?
[07:25] <dopievoli> ok
[07:25] <tv7497> legend : yup sir
[07:25] <bjron> legend2440: it's not alsa I need to set the card for - I know how to do that, it's Pulse.  But actually I should have been more clear and said I need to set the default Sink for pulse
[07:25] <pretender> cant get 1680 x 1050 res with a Asus VW222 and Nvidia FX 5200 in ubuntu 7.10.  how can i get this native resolution
[07:25] <tv7497> legend2440: yup sir
[07:25] <pat5star> psaikido: just covering basics first...is apache running?
[07:25] <dopievoli> Morph3us: Now click on the session and select fail safe gnome
[07:25] <macd> psaikido, Id investigate, what your document root is set to, as well as check to verify that directory exists, and has contents, by default apache2.2 on Hardy should say "It works!"
[07:25] <psaikido> macd: i had it all up and running before trying to move all my files in one profile to another.  that didn't work well so i moved them all back and now get this permission thing
[07:25] <dopievoli> if that doesn't work you should get some body else to help you with the X
[07:26] <tmapj> its downloading
[07:26] <mauro> ubottu: alsamixer is not working
[07:26] <babolat> tmapj: ok. tell me when you're done
[07:26] <Starnestommy> mauro: ubottu is a bot
[07:26] <psaikido> macd: yeah, i set document root in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[07:26] <mauro> ubottu: alsamixer is not working
[07:26] <babolat> !bot | mauro
[07:26] <cypha> can someone suggest an mp3 player in linux?
[07:26] <cypha> with the most functionality
[07:26] <pat5star> psaikido: did you reload apache afterwards?
[07:26] <cypha> like winamp
[07:26] <tmapj> babolat: ok
[07:26] <legend2440> tv7497: sorry don't know what else to try
[07:26] <cypha> i know there is one that looks just like it
[07:26] <Morph3us> dopievoli, all right.. and after that? must i check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log logfile?
[07:27] <cypha> but i want the one with the most powerful media library
[07:27] <psykroll> nakedgoat u there?
[07:27] <psaikido> pat5star: ah, no, i'll do a restart...
[07:27] <cypha> like it
[07:27] <dpowerd> cypha, hello did you ever get your dual monitors working?
[07:27] <macd> psaikido, ahhh, you prolly need to use chown to redo the ownership to www-data so like "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /document/root/dir/*"
[07:27] <cypha> dpowerd! i just did
[07:27] <Starnestommy> cypha: vlc, mplayer, totem
[07:27] <cypha> some guy dragged me through it
[07:27] <tv7497> legend2440: its ok sir and thanx for all the help
[07:27] <dpowerd> cypha, awesome :D
[07:27] <pat5star> psaikido: i think (been awhile) apachectl -graceful
[07:27] <kajo> GAHH. ALL I want is to just have fluxbuntu, and a handful of programs on my computer. I am willing to do a complete reinstall. What *exactly* should I do?
[07:27] <cypha> i had to reinstall ubuntu once !
[07:27] <dpowerd> cypha, if you like winamp try xmms perhaps
[07:27] <dpowerd> well at least its working now
[07:27] <tv7497> mauro : dude ubott is a robot an intelligent scrpit
[07:27] <kajo> fluxbox, and a handful of programs**
[07:27] <cypha> xmms just looks like it i thought
[07:28] <macd> pat5star, psaikido no you should use the init system, this is debian afterall ;)  'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or reload"
[07:28] <cypha> i read that functionality was not nearly as close
[07:28] <cypha> there was one that i heard was very powerful for linux
[07:28] <tv7497> !bot
[07:28] <dpowerd> ya it resembles it but i dunno, i use amarok personally
[07:28] <cypha> but it didn't use gnome
[07:28] <cypha> used kdm or something
[07:28] <psaikido> pat5star: but not changed
[07:28] <cypha> yeahh
[07:28] <cypha> i think amarok
[07:28] <babolat> !ot | babolat woohoo! just finished downloading Smallville S07E20
[07:28] <cypha> that was supposed to be the best i think
[07:28] <dpowerd> its very popular i think
[07:28] <pat5star> macd: like I said, been awhile since I admininstered a server...was hoping someone would correct me if wrong :)
[07:28] <cypha> it uses something other than gnome, right?
[07:29] <mauro> alsamixer is not working...
[07:29] <dpowerd> it might use the kde libs? im not sure
[07:29] <cypha> yeah
[07:29] <cypha> kde librs
[07:29] <pat5star> psaikido: did you see what macd wrote?
[07:29] <cypha> exactly
[07:29] <macd> cypha, Rythmbox is pretty nice.
[07:29] <dpowerd> im using kubuntu, it came preinstalled if i recall
[07:29] <MrEgg964> Hi all. Hardy will no longer print since its last cupsys update (yesterday) :( Can anybody help me?
[07:29] <cypha> macd, what's it do compared to winamp?
[07:29] <psaikido> pat5star: only just!  i'm investigating that...
[07:29] <cypha> less/more?
[07:29] <cypha> equal?
[07:29] <macd> cypha, its like osx compared to windows 95.
[07:30] <babolat> tmapj: are the downloads done yet?
[07:30] <tmapj> not yet
[07:30] <tmapj> ill tell you as soon as they're done
[07:30] <bullgard4> What does mean the classification in Launchpad > Bugs "Status=Invalid"?
[07:30] <tv7497> legend2440 : sir could u help mauro the guy is seeking help from past 1 hour regarding his alsamixer :-)
[07:30] <svensko> i'm trying to install quake 3... when it asks for my root PW i put it in and it just hangs
[07:31] <svensko> has anyone else had this issue
[07:31] <tmapj> svensko are you from sweden?
[07:31] <macd> svensko, dont install it like that, prefix your install command with "sudo" instead.
[07:31] <babolat> #winehq might be of better help, svensko
[07:31] <psaikido> macd: my username is 'hugh' so i went - sudo chown -R hugh:www-data /home/hugh/sites/* - restart but same result
[07:31] <jscinoz> I want to set up a 4 disk raid0 array, my motherboard is an asus striker ii formula which has the nvidia fakeraid. for the highest possible speed what would be the best way to do this? lvm, nvraid, md, dmraid or something else/combination of the above?
[07:31] <MrEgg964> !cupsys
[07:31] <tmapj> babolat:  ok its done
[07:31] <cypha> macd...which one's osx! lol
[07:31] <SuperQ> svensko: which version of wine is installed?
[07:31] <macd> cypha, Rhytmbox
[07:31] <SuperQ> oh.. wait
[07:31] <cypha> ohh
[07:32] <cypha> ok
[07:32] <SuperQ> quake3 has a native binary
[07:32] <babolat> tmapj: ok.. open the Add/Remove Apps window.
[07:32] <macd> psaikido, try chmod 0644 the dir?
[07:32] <cypha> fine, i'll dl now, can i apt-get install it?
[07:32] <SuperQ> no need for wine :)
[07:32] <mauro> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[07:32] <macd> cypha, yep 'sudo apt-get install rhythmbox'
[07:32] <cypha> k, cool
[07:32] <cypha> how do i remove it if i don't like it
[07:32] <dpowerd> speaking of cups... i tried to setup a smb share to share my printer attached here (ubuntu box) to share with the windows clients.... the printer shows up on the windows clients but when i send a print job it just sits in the queue and never prints
[07:32] <cypha> so that it's completely removed
[07:32] <dopievoli> Morph3us: BrB
[07:33] <kajo> I simply want fluxbox & a handful of programs on my computer, nothing more, nothing less. How do I do this most efficiently?
[07:33] <cypha> everything that came in is removed and left unchanged
[07:33] <macd> cypha, and if you want to search for packages, 'apt-cache search name' is your best friend :)
[07:33] <dpowerd> cypha, apt-get remove
[07:33] <smultron> babolat: i followed the grub recover instructions, but when i try to boot off the grub menu item labeled 'ubuntu etc.' i get 'partition not found'. but the windows menu item works fine
[07:33] <cypha> ohhh, cool macd
[07:33] <cypha> dpowerd: what about that --purge whatever thing
[07:33] <cypha> equally as good?
[07:33] <tmapj> babolat: thanks a lot. i just unstalled ubuntu anew. is there anything else i should download right now?
[07:33] <babolat> smultron: pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:33] <babolat> tmapj: click on the "Preferences" button in the lower left of the "Add/Remove Applications" window and enable all the "Downloadable from the Internet" sources
[07:33] <dpowerd> not sure cypha im quite the novice
[07:33] <psaikido> macd: no - never mind i'll try later - it's mad in ere init!
[07:33] <SuperQ> kajo: you could install server, and then manually install stuff
[07:33] <macd> cypha, use purge when your never going to use that program again, then it clears config files, data directores, etc.
[07:34] <macd> psaikido, its always a madhouse!
[07:34] <tonsofpcs> how can i clear my temp files without rebooting?
[07:34] <SuperQ> kajo: are you disk space limited?
[07:34] <cypha> it'll put the config file back to before it was installed?
[07:34] <cypha> or undoes the lines it did?
[07:34] <macd> tonsofpcs, you shouldnt be deleting anything in /tmp
[07:34] <kajo> SuperQ, is the server CD different from the minimal CD? I have only 6 gigs of HD, old laptop..
[07:34] <RyanPrior> tonsofpcs: It's probably not a good idea, since programs may assume that they will have continuing access to the temp files.
[07:34] <psaikido> macd: yeesh - i'll have more time though - thx and bye
[07:34] <babolat> tonsofpcs: deleting them manually with mission-critical apps open is unsafe as i have been told
[07:34] <macd> cypha, a lil of both
[07:34] <macd> psaikido, anytime.
[07:35] <cypha> k
[07:35] <SuperQ> kajo: I don't think there is a "minimal" anymore
[07:35] <tmapj> babolat: hello?
[07:35] <kajo> SuperQ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[07:35] <babolat> tmapj: ?
[07:35] <SuperQ> kajo: Oh, that's _really_ minimal
[07:35] <tmapj> babolat: there is no "prefrences" in the window
[07:36] <cypha> i apparently already had rhythmbox
[07:36] <legend2440> mauro: do you have alsa-utils installed?
[07:36] <cypha> came with ubuntu i guess
[07:36] <kajo> SuperQ, enlighten me on the finer points, please?
[07:36] <SuperQ> kajo: Server is a bit bigger, with some more common packages
[07:36] <dmsuperman_> So I've been googling for like 30 minutes, and I can't find any. Ubuntu offers you an opportunity to change your startup sound, however I can't seem to find any. I don't want movie clips. something that sounds professional like the currently included one, but perhaps a bit more techno-ey. Is there a website where these exist?
[07:36] <cypha> rhythmbox looks like itunes
[07:36] <SuperQ> kajo: minimal appears to be literally that.. the most basic set
[07:36] <kajo> SuperQ, like what kind of things would be on server that would not be on otherwise?
[07:36] <SuperQ> kajo: if you're familiar with Linux stuff, Minimal may be what you want
[07:37] <cypha> what do i have to do to get amarok?
[07:37] <SuperQ> kajo: otherwise, try out xubuntu, which is a lighter-weight full distro
[07:37] <RyanPrior> kajo: minimal has basically the very core of an operable Ubuntu system.
[07:37] <mauro> legend2440: i do not know
[07:37] <macd> cypha, yeah I guess I could have told you that ;)
[07:37] <cypha> i can't stand itunes
[07:37] <cypha> no offense
[07:37] <cypha> it's like the worst
[07:37] <babolat> tmapj: sorry. in Hardy: System > Administration > Software sources
[07:37] <RyanPrior> kajo: If you want to install your own window manager, apps, etc, and customize everything the way you like, then minimal may be what you're looking for.
[07:37] <SuperQ> kajo: I'm not sure off the top of my head
[07:37] <cypha> i'd rather use windows media player!
[07:37] <cypha> =)
[07:37] <FloodBot2> cypha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:37] <legend2440> mauro: in a terminal type sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
[07:37] <kajo> SuperQ, Ryan- I'm not a poweruser, but all I want is a handful of stuff... ubuntu as it is feels bloated. I do not want Xfce, I want fluxbox, so I don't want xubuntu. I'm considering doing all of that customization, but wondering if that is best.
[07:38] <RyanPrior> kajo: The server distribution has packages to set up things like a fully functioning LAMP server easily.
[07:38] <babolat> cypha: macd please take the chitchat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:38] <tmapj> babolat: thanks. anything else
[07:38] <RyanPrior> kajo: the server release also has packages installed by default which are useful in server administration but which are less useful for desktop users.
[07:38] <cypha> huh?
[07:38] <SuperQ> kajo: You can install fluxbox on xubuntu, and then remove xfce
[07:38] <babolat> tmapj: that's about it
[07:38] <jscinoz> I want to set up a 4 disk raid0 array, my motherboard is an asus striker ii formula which has the nvidia fakeraid. for the highest possible speed what would be the best way to do this? lvm, nvraid, md, dmraid or something else/combination of the above?
[07:38] <cypha> i'm trying to find out how to get amarok
[07:39] <happosad> how to rip DVD to FW400-harddrive whit k9copy?
[07:39] <rkh> Hi, I was trying to get multiple screens working on my laptop and something broke, and I'm stuck with a 640x480 screen with no idea on how to fix it. Can somebody help me out?
[07:39] <macd> cypha, just apt-get it.
[07:39] <tmapj> babolat any other reposatories?
[07:39] <kajo> SuperQ, but won't that leave other packages that I won't want, parts of the Xfce operating environment?
[07:39] <RyanPrior> kajo: There is a distro called Fluxbuntu, but if you want to install fluxbox yourself, you could start with minimal and install Xorg and Fluxbox.
[07:39] <cypha> but it needs some libraries i thought
[07:39] <cypha> and i'm running gnome
[07:39] <cypha> i think
[07:39] <SuperQ> kajo: well, it will include a lot of packages
[07:39] <tmapj> whats fluxbox?
[07:39] <SuperQ> tmapj: it's a window environment
[07:39] <zionpsyfer> cypha: It will get the libraries automatically
[07:39] <happosad> like Gnome and Xcfe
[07:39] <RyanPrior> rkh: Can you use System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution ?
[07:39] <macd> cypha, dont worry apt takes care of all of that, just 'sudo apt-get install amarok' done.
[07:39] <SuperQ> tmapj: very light weight
[07:39] <tmapj> oh ok
[07:39] <tmapj> ok
[07:40] <tmapj> thnx
[07:40] <SuperQ> yea
[07:40] <rkh> RyanPrior: The only option available is 640x480
[07:40] <RyanPrior> tmapj: It's amazingly lightweight compared to Gnome and KDE as well. Works great on older computers, or for running many graphical sessions on one box.
[07:40] <SuperQ> I prefer ion3 for my work machine
[07:40] <babolat> tmapj: you add repositories via /etc/apt/sources.lst
[07:40] <kajo> RyanPrior, Yes I've heard of it... but it looks a little backalley... what I want is fluxbuntu with *NO* software on it. I want to install firefox, pidgin, xchat, java, etc., all myself, so that there is nothing more than what I use.
[07:40] <RyanPrior> rkh: That is nuts. Don't know how to help. :-(
[07:40] <cypha> k, cool, thanks macd, zionpsyfer
[07:40] <SuperQ> kajo: yea, go minimal
[07:40] <mauro> legend2440: yes, I have alsa-utils installed
[07:40] <RyanPrior> kajo: Sounds like you want minimal then, but I would disagree with you on not being a power user. :-)
[07:40] <Flannel> kajo: start with an alternate CD, at the boot menu, hit f4, install a system without a GUI, then add fluxbox and xserver-xorg
[07:40] <cypha> AMAROK TAKES 131 MB's???
[07:40] <rkh> RyanPrior: Also, whenever I try to run System->Administration->Screens and Graphics, it would just say "Starting Screens..." for a while and then just die/disappear
[07:41] <babolat> !caps | cypha
[07:41] <legend2440> mauro: when you type alsamixer in terminal what happens?
[07:41] <RyanPrior> rkh: Perhaps try using dkpg to reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[07:41] <ronino> hi
[07:41] <rkh> RyanPrior: How would I do that?
[07:41] <kajo> Flannel, why alternate as opposed to minimal?
[07:41] <Flannel> kajo: minimal is identical to alternate only minimal has no packages on it
[07:41] <zhanglaosan> ????
[07:42] <cypha> babolat...131 mbs?
[07:42] <rkh> RyanPrior: I'm kind of new to this, so I'm not sure how I would go about changing the config files...
[07:42] <ronino> I upgraded from gutsy to hardy using do-release-upgrade, but now my Xen user domain doesn't boot up, any hint on where I can find a howto on that problem or any other help?
[07:42] <babolat> !info amarok | cypha
[07:42] <kajo> Flannel, what packages do you mean? I want as few as possible. I want it to function, but I don't want software I won't use.
[07:42] <mauro> legend2440: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[07:42] <cypha> why is mine 131?
[07:42] <cypha> because of the libraries or something?
[07:43] <bazhang> !cn | zhanglaosan
[07:43] <SuperQ> kajo: Minimal CD, then apt-get install fluxbox xorg
[07:43] <zionpsyfer> cypha: If you don't already have kde libraries.... then yes.
[07:43] <legend2440> mauro: type lspci in terminal. is your souncard or audio controller listed?
[07:43] <Flannel> kajo: with minimal CD, the CD itself contains *only* the installer, there are no packages on the CD (you download everything from the internet, and cannot install without the internet).  With alternate CD, there is the installer, plus a repository of software, so you can install straight from the Cd, without an internet connection
[07:43] <SuperQ> Flannel: ohh, yea
[07:43] <SuperQ> I forgot about that
[07:43] <zhanglaosan> 谢谢
[07:44] <cypha> zion: thanks
[07:44] <bazhang> bu ke qi :)
[07:44] <cypha> by the way, i was trying to set the clock in ubuntu
[07:44] <cypha> i got the new york time right
[07:44] <cypha> but i was trying to set the time in dominican republic, and it wasn't showing the correct time
[07:44] <kajo> Flannel, what do you mean "+ a repository of software"??? *WHICH* software? Are we talking software to install and cause it to function, or are we talking about software like thunderbird? Apps, etc.? I do not want the latter....
[07:44] <cypha> althoough the time zone says dominican republic
[07:44] <kajo> SuperQ, thanks. :)
[07:44] <cypha> the time is shown the same as new york
[07:45] <SuperQ> kajo: good luck
[07:45] <cypha> and i have the ubuntu tim server selected to synch with
[07:45] <tmapj> is fluxbox smaller than damn small linux?
[07:45] <babolat> cypha: are you doing a dual-boot with Win* ?
[07:45] <cypha> yes
[07:45] <mauro> legend2440: no
[07:45] <bazhang> tmapj, fluxbuntu you mean? no
[07:45] <tv7497> !info fluxbox
[07:45] <kajo> tmapj, fluxbox is used in DSL.
[07:45] <babolat> then, this may help -->http://jvliet.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-system-clock-setting-for-utc.html cypha
[07:45] <cypha> thanks babolat
[07:45] <Flannel> kajo: Like, for instance, the Ubuntu Alternate CD contains everything needed for Ubuntu (gnome, the kernel, etc), plus some additional stuff (just in case someone wants it).  The minimal CD contains *no* packages, at all.  You can't install *anything* without the internet
[07:45] <SuperQ> So has anyone played with DRBD?
[07:45] <cypha> by the way, any way to get xchat to allow you to double click or click the links in the chat to open in the browser?
[07:46] <tv7497> babolat : sir i have screwed p my splash screen
[07:46] <Flannel> kajo: Likewise, the Kubuntu Alternate CD contains KDE, kernel, etc, plus additional software.
[07:46] <fevets> hello all
[07:46] <tmapj> is there any version of linux i could install on my smartphone?
[07:46] <SuperQ> tmapj: heh
[07:46] <Flannel> kajo: but this is just on the CD.  Available to be installed, not installed by default, since we're choosing the command line system option
[07:46] <SuperQ> tmapj: Android :)
[07:46] <tmapj> android?
[07:46] <babolat> tv7497: more information will help. what graphics card do you have? which drivers have you installed? etc. and please, no *sir*
[07:46] <tmapj> for real?
[07:46] <bazhang> tmapj, ubuntu mobile in a few months perhaps
[07:46] <SuperQ> http://code.google.com/android/
[07:46] <Flannel> kajo: the end results are identical whether you choose alternate or minimal CD
[07:46] <tmapj> ubuntu mobile
[07:47] <bazhang> tmapj, android would be for offtopic
[07:47] <SuperQ> yes
[07:47] <SuperQ> very much not #ubuntu
[07:47] <bazhang> #google
[07:47] <SuperQ> heh
[07:47] <kajo> Flannel, I don't want Gnome.... I am fine installing fluxbox myself from scratch... I also want no 'additional' software. But you say it isn't auto installed, the alt-cd lets me pick the software I want to have installed, doesn't just automatically add all the aditional stuff? I don't even want gnome on default, I want complete freedom from 'defaults'....
[07:47] <fevets> anyone able to help get my wireless network to auto connect at bootup ?
[07:47] <bazhang> kajo then minimal install is what you want
[07:47] <SuperQ> fevets: before login?
[07:48] <q_a_z_steve> bazhang: can you help with wine detecting my DVD burner?
[07:48] <mauro> legend2440: no.
[07:48] <fevets> no after login is fine
[07:48] <Flannel> kajo: Yes, when it boots, you hit f4, and choose a "command line system" only.  You want minimal CD or alternate CD, they give you identical installation options, but one *requires* the internet, the other will grab stuff off the CD
[07:48] <bazhang> q_a_z_steve, external or internal
[07:48] <bullgard4> What does mean the classification in Launchpad > Bugs "Status=Invalid"?
[07:48] <q_a_z_steve> bazhang: internal
[07:48] <SuperQ> fevets: network manager should auto-connect to known wifi connections
[07:48] <pat5star> kajo: I almost think you would be better taking a debian cd installer, install the bare minimum, then add to it only the stuff you want later with apt-get
[07:48] <legend2440> mauro: is your sound integrated on motherboard or seperate sound card?
[07:48] <fevets> it is connected now, but for some reason i have to run a small script to make it work, and sometimes the script fails and i kill and rerun in order to connect
[07:48] <bazhang> bullgard4, not considered real bug
[07:48] <tv7497> babolat: i dnt have a clue about my graphics card i use hardy with 2 gb ram 200 gb harddisk thats it  i know about my system well all i get after grub is a blank screen i need to type ctrl-alt-f1 to swtich to text mode
[07:49] <SuperQ> fevets: What kind of script?
[07:49] <Flannel> pat5star: that's what this is
[07:49] <zionpsyfer> pat5star: ubuntu minimal is the same
[07:49] <fevets> superq: can we talk privately ?
[07:49] <bullgard4> bazhang: Is this your interpretation or an official interpretation?
[07:49] <SuperQ> fevets: None of my ubuntu machines require anything special these days
[07:49] <SuperQ> fevets: /msg is ok
[07:49] <kajo> pat5star, I had a friend recommend this to me recently... how different is debian from ubuntu?
[07:49] <babolat> tv7497: what version of Ubuntu are you using, and what was the last time you did before this problem?
[07:49] <mauro> legend2440: separated
[07:49] <kajo> I know ubuntu is a debian based software, but I don't know all that debian entails as opposed to ubuntu.
[07:49] <bazhang> q_a_z_steve, that is odd; have you asked in #winehq?
[07:50] <kajo> I just haven't experimented much outside of DSL & ubuntu.
[07:50] <legend2440> mauro: what soundcard you have?
[07:50] <pat5star> Flannel: oh I wasn't aware...sry guys. I did that a couple of years ago for a server and found debian was the easiest, because it installed bare minimum (basically a shell and networking) and you add to it from there
[07:50] <bazhang> kajo, you can read up on it; this strictly a support channel
[07:50] <Flannel> kajo: debian-installer is what the alternate/minimal CDs use.  They have the program that installs, plus a bunch of packages (either on the CD, or downloaded), that it unpackages like with apt-get to install the system.
[07:50] <tv7497> 8.04 i did nothing this exists from installtion itself
[07:50] <MrEgg964> Hi all :) No more printing in Hardy since last update :( Is anybody else have this issue?
[07:50] <Roxy123> hey guys, how can i get a gforce 9600GT to work under linux
[07:50] <babolat> tv7497: what sort of problem are you exactly having? the splash-screen is off center or what? :)
[07:51] <zionpsyfer> pat5star: Agreed, great for a server. =)  I'm glad ubuntu preserved that ability.
[07:51] <cypha> i alraedy had the setting suggested in http://jvliet.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-system-clock-setting-for-utc.html
[07:51] <cypha> but thanks
[07:51] <Flannel> pat5star: no worries, just letting you know
[07:51] <RyanPrior> MrEgg964: I've heard the complaint a few times over the last couple weeks, so I'm sure you're not alone.
[07:51] <fevets> superq: youll have to forgive me, i am not IRC expert or Ubuntu expert
[07:51] <kajo> Flannel, thanks for all the help. And everyone else, SuperQ, Rat409, baz, Ryan, etc... appreciate it.
[07:51] <tv7497> babolat : sir its off i get just a blank screen
[07:51] <Roxy123> could someone please help me?
[07:51] <cypha> however, how can i i get the 2nd location to show the correct time?
[07:51] <yoandy> hi, is there any plan to support bcm94311 rev 02 on hardy? a kernel backport or similar?
[07:51] <mauro> legend2440: i do not know. It is an old pc and the sound card too.
[07:51] <cypha> it's showing the same time as the first
[07:51] <bazhang> Roxy123, this is hardy or gutsy
[07:51] <cyntek> I been experiancing a network problem with ubuntu when ever the screen saver goes active, and when it wake up the connection is lost. is that a bug of some sort?
[07:51] <Roxy123> hardy bazhang
[07:51] <RyanPrior> yoandy: We will support broadcom when broadcom supports us, which they have said will not happen.
[07:52] <legend2440> mauro: are you also running windows on that computer?
[07:52] <RyanPrior> yoandy: In the meanwhile, there are stopgap solutions like ndiswrapper which works for some folks - but the real solution is to not buy anything broadcom makes.
[07:52] <tv7497> roxy123 :contact sir flannel
[07:52] <MrEgg964> RyanPrior: Any idea where I should look to solve my problem?
[07:52] <kajo> Oh, and for the record, I'm ending up going with the minimal- I figure there's no reason to install it off the CD and then have to update it all. It was a close call.
[07:52] <kajo> ciao.
[07:52] <babolat> tv7497: is this the problem you are having? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/205990
[07:52] <RyanPrior> MrEgg964: I don't know a darn thing about printers, so I can't really help much.
[07:52] <Roxy123> tv7497: umm?
[07:52] <bazhang> envyng-gtk may help Roxy123
[07:53] <SuperQ> fevets: you may need to register with freenode for private chat:
[07:53] <SuperQ> fevets: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering
[07:53] <smultron> hm... how do i get to the /boot/grub/menu.lst when i'm on the livecd? babolat
[07:53] <mauro> legend2440: yes. W98
[07:53] <fevets> superq: you didnt see my reply ?
[07:53] <mauro> legend2440: In w98 i have sound
[07:53] <Flannel> tv7497: As much as I'm flattered, I'm not an expert in everything ;)  nor am I always around
[07:53] <tv7497> roxy123 : ask sir flannel or babolat about ur problem they r born genius they can help u
[07:53] <SuperQ> fevets: no
[07:53] <babolat> smultron: the LiveCd is commonly used for reinstalling Grub. in a terminal, do: sudo grub
[07:54] <SuperQ> fevets: you need to register in order to send private messages on freenode (I know, it's lame)
[07:54] <Roxy123> bazhang:  do i need to restart? or how can i tell if my card is seen
[07:54] <tv7497> flannel : sorry sir but u vere answering everrthng :-)
[07:54] <cypha> how can i view my windows drive in linux?
[07:54] <bazhang> Roxy123, I believe you do need to at least logout; I recall restarting after I used it though
[07:54] <smultron> babolat: yeah, i did that like the ubuntu help page said
[07:54] <cypha> is it within the root directory?
[07:54] <babolat> smultron: and?
[07:54] <legend2440> mauro: device manager in windows may tell you name of soundcard then you could google ubuntu and name of soundcard and you may get info on how to get it working. it may not be supported in linux.
[07:54] <Flannel> SuperQ: If you want, you can `/msg nickserv set unfiltered on` and not require registration for queries
[07:54] <Roxy123> bbian bazh

[07:56] <smultron> babolat: i'm trying to get to it... i tried sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc2 /media/disk3 but it says it's in use (from the livecd)

[07:57] <fatejudger> I just did a fresh install of hardy on my desktop and am not able to set the screen resolution any higher than 640x480. Usually I just modify the xorg.conf, but now that Xorg 7.3 is out and the config is different, I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
[07:57] <alessandro> ciao

[07:57] <smultron> babolat: ah yes. much easier. silly me :)
[07:58] <Bambang_Triatmoj> ,njv
[07:58] <RyanPrior> yoandy: That's the only info I know about regarding broadcom cards. We get more people in here asking about broken broadcom wireless than any other hardware failure though, including broken graphics cards...
[07:58] <Bambang_Triatmoj> hai
[07:58] <yaru1022> hello
[07:58] <yaru1022> i have a question
[07:58] <bullgard4> What does mean the classification in Launchpad > Bugs "Status=Invalid"?
[07:58] <Bambang_Triatmoj> pada mau uang ga?
[07:58] <RyanPrior> yaru1022: ask. :-)
[07:58] <babolat> smultron: ok. get into the boot folder, then grub folder. open menu.lst and pastebin the file's contents
[07:58] <bazhang> bullgard4, that it is unconfirmed and not considered valid
[07:58] <RyanPrior> bullgard4: It means it's not a bug.
[07:58] <yaru1022> i left my computer for one night
[07:58] <Roxy123> bazhang:  that did not work
[07:58] <yaru1022> and my hard disk space was 4% used (about 4GB out of 100GB) last night
[07:58] <yaru1022> and today
[07:59] <legend2440> mauro: if lspci is not listing your soundcard. i doubt it will be different with the hardy boot cd
[07:59] <yaru1022> it's like 99GB is used up
[07:59] <yaru1022> i have no idea what went wrong
[07:59] <Roxy123> anyone know how to get my 9600GT video card working ?
[07:59] <RyanPrior> bullgard4: For example, if somebody rants about how much Ubuntu's security team sucks for letting the late vulnerability go unnoticed, that would be invalid because it's better discussed on the mailing list and not the bug tracker.
[07:59] <bazhang> Roxy123, you ran the envyng tool from apps-->system tools?
[07:59] <yoandy> RyanPrior, ok, i guess i'll have to wait 6months for 2.6.25 kernel on ubuntu, i know current broadcom 4311rev02 problem is because a 2.6.24 bug
[07:59] <tv7497> babolat: how do i update initramfs-tools any sudo apt-get install  command
[07:59] <mauro> legend2440: i will reboot and i will try to find the information
[07:59] <bullgard4> RyanPrior: Is this your personal interpretation or an official interpretation?

[08:00] <pat5star> dmsuperman_: what do you mean it didn't work for you? did it install but firefox still won't run any java programs?
[08:00] <RyanPrior> bullgard4: That is the definition of an invalid bug: a report which is something other than a bug, such as a rant, a question, a request, etc.
[08:00] <Roxy123> bazhang:  it said that my card was not recognized
[08:00] <babolat> apt-get tv7497
[08:00] <RyanPrior> bullgard4: search Google for the Ubuntu Bug Squad to find our community bug docs
[08:00] <legend2440> mauro: here is list of souncards and whether they are supported or not https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards but you need to know name of yours to check
[08:00] <bazhang> Roxy123, you went to system tools and ran the tool?
[08:01] <tv7497> babolat : lol
[08:01] <Roxy123> yes bazhang
[08:01] <TokenBad> I am trying to network vista and ubuntu..can anyone help please?
[08:01] <bazhang> Roxy123, what did it do-->and what did you try-->please be precise
[08:01] <Roxy123> bazhang:  I selected auto hardware detection
[08:01] <babolat> smultron: your Windows installation and Ubuntu installation are both in the same Hard Disk. Windows is in the first partition while the Ubuntu install is in the 2nd. Correct?
[08:01] <tv7497> babolat : coz they ask for the above tools to be uptodate
[08:01] <smultron> babolat: yes
[08:02] <bazhang> Roxy123, so you did *not* install the drivers?
[08:02] <pat5star> yoandy: sry I missed your convo about your broadcom card, what were you asking? I have the same card
[08:02] <dpowerd> TokenBad, have you looked into samba?
[08:02] <Get_A_Fix> Hello. How does one go about moving the /home partition, or the contents of it, to a new, larger /home partition ? Using 7.10. Have added a hard disk, no problem partitioning it with gparted or mounting the partitions, that's all good, but we do need help with naming the partitions properly and what steps are needed to give the /home partition a new larger home.
[08:02] <TokenBad> dpowerd yes...but can't seem to get it to work
[08:02] <Roxy123> bazhang:  no it did not install anytrhing, i selected auto, then it came withthe error that my card was not found
[08:02] <dpowerd> whats the issue?
[08:02] <eeboy> How can I run an application on startup? It has to run as root.
[08:02] <babolat> smultron: are you sure? because your Grub menu says that Ubuntu is on a second HD
[08:03] <bullgard4> RyanPrior: Google does not return a single hit for "Status=Invalid" AND "Ubuntu Bug Squad"
[08:03] <TokenBad> its like it sees the workgroup and all but not show the drives
[08:03] <bazhang> Roxy123, well it would be helpful if you installed the drivers
[08:03] <tv7497> babolat : u dere ????????
[08:03] <TokenBad> but I also can't ping my windows computer
[08:03] <babolat> tv7497: yes? do apt-get update
[08:03] <yoandy> pat5star, i ask if there were any plan to backport 2.6.25 on hardy to fix curretn problrm with bcm94311rev02 and 2.6.24 kernel
[08:03] <smultron> babolat: the / partition is mounted on the same HD as windows. the /home partition is on another hard disk
[08:03] <dpowerd> is there some vista firewall running?
[08:03] <Roxy123> well thats why im here bazhang
[08:03] <legend2440> Get_A_Fix: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[08:03] <TokenBad> dpowerd no
[08:04] <bazhang> Roxy123, dont select auto
[08:04] <Roxy123> which one?
[08:04] <yoandy> pat5star, or any other solution to get 4311rev02 working
[08:04] <pat5star> yoandy: oh ok...that would be nice. I had to jump through hoops to get mine working but it is, would be much nicer if it just worked out of the box :)
[08:04] <bazhang> brb
[08:04] <tv7497> babolat : thats engh ??????????

[08:04] <yaru1022> hey
[08:04] <[1]IMD> does anyone know how to hide the hardware drivers icon in the system tray?
[08:05] <yaru1022> what's file-contents.db and file-meta.db for?
[08:05] <yoandy> pat5star, how did you get it working? through ndiswrapper? or?
[08:05] <[1]IMD> I installed a propriety driver and don't need to be reminded of it every boot
[08:05] <smultron> babolat: alright, will do
[08:05] <yaru1022> file-contents.db takes up like 22 GB
[08:05] <yoandy> *got
[08:05] <yaru1022> and file-meta.db takes up like 62GB
[08:05] <yaru1022> what's going on?
[08:05] <melshia> alguien escribe en español
[08:05] <ompaul> !es | melshia
[08:05] <pat5star> yoandy: yes, ndiswrapper was the only way
[08:05] <babolat> tv7497: do you have the package intramfs-update installed?
[08:06] <bullgard4> RyanPrior: Please refrain from stree language: "You suck."
[08:06] <pat5star> yoandy: if you want, I can dig up the guide I used to get it working, would take me a sec (not on my laptop right now where I have it all saved)
[08:06] <bullgard4> RyanPrior: Please refrain from street language: "You suck."

[08:06] <jscinoz> I want to set up a 4 disk raid0 array, my motherboard is an asus striker ii formula which has the nvidia fakeraid. for the highest possible speed what would be the best way to do this? lvm, nvraid, md, dmraid or something else/combination of the above?
[08:07] <ompaul> prepare for scroll :-/
[08:07] <ompaul> Done
[08:07] <yoandy> pat5star, well, if its not to much trouble, plz!
[08:07] <ompaul> have a nice day  ;-)
[08:07] <babolat> tv7497: whatever suits you. in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, search for intramfs-update and see if it has a green filled up box
[08:08] <pat5star> tv7497: it is polite to call people sir here, but it also makes them feel old! seems you may be touching a raw nerve with some people here lol
[08:08] <nakedgoat_> i like the foodstamp vhost..
[08:08] <SuperQ> jscinoz: I use md for all of my raid work
[08:08] <Get_A_Fix> legend2440: Many thanks :-D
[08:08] <tv7497> pat5star : lol
[08:08] <yaru1022> hi
[08:08] <legend2440> Get_A_Fix: yw
[08:08] <pat5star> yoandy: sure no problem, just one minute
[08:08] <yaru1022> is it ok to delete file-contents.db and file-meta.db ?
[08:08] <babolat> pat5star: age hasn't got anything to do with it. :-/
[08:08] <ompaul> !offtopic
[08:08] <yaru1022> it is in my home directory... ~/.cache/tracker
[08:09] <pat5star> babolat: :P
[08:09] <SuperQ> jscinoz: I avoid motherboard raid chips as often as possible
[08:09] <Starnestommy> yaru1022: if you don't use tracker, those files aren't needed
[08:09] <yaru1022> it's taking up like 89GB of my hard disk space
[08:09] <yaru1022> what does tracker do exactly?
[08:09] <jscinoz> SuperQ, alright thanks, would there be any benefit in using LVM with md?
[08:09] <SuperQ> jscinoz: Yes, that's exactly what I do
[08:09] <Starnestommy> yaru1022: it's a search system that the deskbar uses
[08:09] <babolat> !ot | pat5star, babolat and I am only 17 :P
[08:10] <SuperQ> jscinoz: I create /dev/mdX with my RAID5 array and then use pvcreate /dev/mdX to manage that volume into a number of filesystems
[08:10] <yaru1022> Starnestommy, so i guess it's a bug in ubuntu tracker system
[08:10] <ompaul> !tracker | yaru1022
[08:10] <yaru1022> Starnestommy, I only had like 4GB of data in my hard disk... and now it's suddenly 99GB
[08:10] <SuperQ> jscinoz: just don't use RAID0 or RAID5 for rootfs (well, /boot)
[08:10] <yaru1022> hm... it's weird...
[08:10] <mogunus> Is there any solution for an empty /proc/acpi/fan? also, when I try to echo an appropriate line to trip_points (which has only two entires, one at 95C and one at 100C) I get "permission denied" error, even though I am sudo'ing the command.
[08:10] <jscinoz> SuperQ, i thought recent kernels could boot off a md raid array?
[08:11] <Starnestommy> mogunus: what is the command that you're using?
[08:11] <babolat> BrB
[08:11] <SuperQ> jscinoz: yes, but RAID1
[08:11] <tv7497> babolat: there is no pacakage bye the following name
[08:11] <SuperQ> jscinoz: I normally create 2 partitions on my systems
[08:11] <ompaul> mogunus, getting supported hardware might help - the reason you get bad values or non existent values is that the machine is not aware of what it is reading
[08:11] <SuperQ> jscinoz: a small 1GB RAID1 mirror for /
[08:11] <mogunus> sudo echo -n "xx : xx : xx : xx : xx" > trip_points
[08:11] <SuperQ> jscinoz: and the rest as a RAID5 for everything else
[08:12] <mogunus> where the xx's are digits
[08:12] <jscinoz> SuperQ thanks, also what kind of speed loss would i be looking at if i used dm-crypt on top of the raid0?
[08:12] <Starnestommy> mogunus: try echo -n "xx : xx : xx : xx : xx" | sudo tee trip_points
[08:12] <SuperQ> jscinoz: depends on your CPUs
[08:12] <SuperQ> jscinoz: and how much CPU time you expect after crypt
[08:12] <jscinoz> SuperQ, quad core, 2.6ghz :P one of the shiny new 45nm ones at that
[08:12] <JontyO> hi
[08:12] <tv7497> babolat : there is  pacakge by d name in synaptic sir
[08:12] <SuperQ> jscinoz: hah! I doubt you'l notice dm-crypt :)
[08:13] <mogunus> I have a system76 laptop, which should be supported. It worked fine in ubuntu 7.10.
[08:13] <JontyO> IM getting this error can someon help please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4975169#post4975169
[08:13] <SuperQ> jscinoz: my girlfriend setup her laptop (dual-core T61) with dm-crypt, no issues
[08:13] <jscinoz> superQ, i'm thinking of doing it like this: /boot 1gb outside of md, then the rest inside md raid 0 with dm-crypt, separate home and root
[08:13] <jscinoz> i'll probably use LVM on top of the md raid0
[08:13] <cypha> why're people on efnet so rude and unhelpful
[08:13] <cypha> they hate newbies
[08:13] <cypha> it's clear
[08:14] <Starnestommy> cypha: that's efnet, not freenode
[08:14] <SuperQ> jscinoz: if you don't need to crypt root, I would skip /boot
[08:14] <freeman> hello
[08:14] <zionpsyfer> cypha: I don't hate newbies, do I?
[08:14] <zsiavas1> error fetching package.deb size mistmach::it says unable to fetch some archives,maybe run  apt-get update or try with --fix-missing
[08:14] <SuperQ> jscinoz: beware the strange alternate installer bug that tries to install lilo
[08:14]  * zionpsyfer looks around, confused.
[08:14] <jscinoz> superQ, /root will still be on raid0 though
[08:14] <tv7497> babolat : there is no pacakage
[08:14] <jscinoz> superq so i guess /boot will have to be separate.
[08:14] <cypha> i know, but it's really just hurtful!
[08:15] <SuperQ> jscinoz: You probably don't need root on raid0
[08:15] <cypha> i try so hard to not be put down by their comments
[08:15] <SuperQ> jscinoz: actually, I highly suggest you don't put it on raid0
[08:15] <cypha> like they'l help, but they'll be derogatory each line of the way
[08:15] <cypha> EAch line
[08:15] <SuperQ> jscinoz: 1GB is enough for root and boot if you have /usr and /var on raid0
[08:15] <dpowerd> cypha, but sometimes you must help yourself and do some independent research
[08:15] <tv7497> babolat : sir u there
[08:15] <jscinoz> SuperQ oh didn't think of putting usr and var on separate
[08:15] <cypha> dpowerd: i'm only asking the stuff i've tried to fix and couldn't
[08:16] <SuperQ> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[08:16] <SuperQ> /dev/md0              965M  360M  557M  40% /
[08:16] <cypha> i have some simple questions about ubuntu...if someone doesn't mind
[08:16] <jscinoz> superQ so i'd end up with /root 1gb outside of raid and not encrypted, /var /usr and /home inside raid0 and encrypted?
[08:16] <cypha> i can't get the second location to show the correct time
[08:16] <SuperQ> jscinoz: yup
[08:16] <msshams> this file: "/etc/bash_completion" can't start automatically. how can i fix this problem?
[08:16] <tmapj> could anyone show me how you make a virtual machine? i keep getting an error
[08:16] <msshams> this file: "/etc/bash_completion" can't start automatically. how can i fix this problem?
[08:16] <cypha> even though it supposedly will update from an online time server
[08:16] <jscinoz> SuperQ alright thanks
[08:16] <SuperQ> jscinoz: well
[08:16] <jscinoz> superq should i use LVM?
[08:16] <cypha> it still shows the same time as the first location
[08:16] <SuperQ> yes
[08:16] <SuperQ> LVM ++
[08:17] <SuperQ> /dev/mapper/ns-data   900G  811G   90G  91% /data
[08:17] <cypha> secondly, i'd like to get my c:\ drive to mount
[08:17] <SuperQ> :) :)
[08:17] <cypha> but am not sure how...typng "mount" at the cl doesn't show it there
[08:17] <mauro> legend2440: i am here. You?
[08:17] <tmapj> could anyone show me how you make a virtual machine? i keep getting an error
[08:17] <jscinoz> SuperQ so i if i use LVM on the space in the raid0, i can redistribute the free space between /var /usr and /home if i ever need to?

[08:17] <cypha> and thirdly, i have some random little questions that i was hoping someone could clarify
[08:17] <zionpsyfer> cypha: The timezone is correct?
[08:17] <SuperQ> tmapj: can you pastebin the error?
[08:17] <cypha> yes zion
[08:17] <legend2440> mauro: yes did you find name of card?
[08:17] <mauro> legend2440: are you?
[08:18] <SuperQ> jscinoz: yes
[08:18] <freakabcd> i have downloaded the kubuntu iso. I have loop mounted this. How do i add this as a source for apt?
[08:18] <SuperQ> jscinoz: just be sure to leave a few extents free
[08:18] <zionpsyfer> cypha: And the NTP server you're able to connect to ?
[08:18] <freakabcd> i added this line to the end of /etc/apt-sources.list: deb file:/tmp/koobuntu/ hardy main restricted
[08:18] <mauro> legend2440: Sound card type: SoundBlaster 16/16 ASP
[08:18] <jscinoz> SuperQ doesn't the filesystem inside the LVM have to support hot-resizing (and afaik ext3 doesnt)
[08:18] <SuperQ> jscinoz: ext3 and xfs both support online grow
[08:18] <tmapj> SuperQ, whats the site you do pastebin on?
[08:18] <freakabcd> but when i open synaptic and do reload, then select 'Origin' it doesn;t show the /tmp/koobuntu source
[08:19] <jscinoz> SuperQ, which of those two would you recommend?
[08:19] <mauro> legend2440: this is what you want?
[08:19] <SuperQ> tmapj: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[08:19] <cypha> dpoewrd: GREAT SITE, thanks for the link
[08:19] <SuperQ> jscinoz: either work
[08:19] <nakedgoat> tmapj is it the kernal error from earlier?
[08:19] <cypha> zion: i'm connceting to the ubuntu time server
[08:19] <SuperQ> jscinoz: I use XFS for large (> 100GB) filesystems and ext3 for OS filesystems
[08:19] <NeotonicUbuntu3> Hi
[08:19] <legend2440> mauro: yes let me see if its supported
[08:20] <jscinoz> SuperQ I'll go look upsome benchmarks then, thanks for the help. One last question, so you're sure ext3 supports live growth? this: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-11.html must be out of date then as it says ext3 doesnt

[08:20] <dpowerd> cypha, why sarcastic? it has the answer to your problem
[08:20] <jscinoz> SuperQ, I'll be starting off with 4 500GB disks
[08:20] <cypha> i'm not being sarcastic
[08:20] <dpowerd> thats what i meant by independent research i.e. google
[08:20] <cypha> i was being grateful =)
[08:20] <tmapj> nakedgoat i cant get the error it wont let me turn on the machine
[08:20] <dpowerd> oh sorry
[08:20] <jscinoz> SuperQ, hmm raid0 cant be expanded with extra disks? I'd have to recreate the array from scratch correct?
[08:20] <zionpsyfer> cypha: K, good so far.  And can you confirm it's adjusting the time on your machine?
[08:21] <tmapj> superq i cant get the error it wont let me turn on the machine
[08:21] <SuperQ> jscinoz: yes
[08:21] <nakedgoat> tmapj did u pastebin it yet?
[08:21] <SuperQ> jscinoz: if you want expansion, you'll have to do LVM appends
[08:21] <tmapj> nakedgoat i cant get the error it wont let me turn on the machine
[08:21] <cypha> zion: it's not adjusting it,...it's showing the wrong time for that time zone
[08:21] <mauro> legend2440: ok
[08:21] <cypha> in fact, the time its showing is the same as the primary time for the primary time zone
[08:21] <cypha> in fact, let me change the second one to something else and see if the time changes
[08:21] <cypha> one sec
[08:21] <jscinoz> SuperQ ok thats fine, shouldnt be a problem, if/when i get some more disks i'll just mirror the important partitions to my 4Tb nas :D
[08:21] <SuperQ> jscinoz: just encrypt a partition on each disk, and then add those to LVM
[08:21] <nakedgoat> tmapj u installed the kernal modules?
[08:21] <tmapj> what are the kernal modules? tell me how to install them pls
[08:22] <nakedgoat> tmapj ie: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic

[08:22] <zionpsyfer> cypha:  Hmmm, ubuntu should automatically convert to your timezone.  give me a moment to check it out on my machine.
[08:23] <jscinoz> SuperQ, so basically in order: create two partitions, 1gb for root and the rest will be made into /dev/md0, then LVM on /dev/md0 and use vgcreate to make /var /usr and /home?
[08:23] <SuperQ> jscinoz: I would still do md0 root raid1
[08:23] <SuperQ> jscinoz: and then md1 for lvm
[08:23] <legend2440> mauro: in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/modules and type this in that file  sb and snd-sb16 then reboot ok?

[08:23] <yoandy> pat5star, dont worry, thanks any way,
[08:24] <jscinoz> SuperQ what real need is there for mirroring /root not too much important stuff will be on there, and if it gets nuked a system reinstall isnt a problem
[08:24] <nakedgoat> baking, sounds like a router issue..
[08:24] <SuperQ> jscinoz: raid0 -> dm-crypt -> lvm -> pvcreate/vgcreate/lvcreate
[08:24] <SuperQ> jscinoz: up to you
[08:24] <jscinoz> SuperQ thanks :)
[08:24] <SuperQ> I'm very lazy, so I don't like re-installing :)

[08:26] <nakedgoat> that should do it.

[08:27] <zionpsyfer> cypha: cool, just paste it then. =)
[08:27] <LSD|Ninja> linsejko1: probably best to stick with 7.10 until 8.10 comes out in October
[08:27] <Finnish> Is ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 able to run compiz?
[08:27] <linsejko1> LSD|Ninja, thanks.
[08:27] <mauro> legend2440: at the end of the file?
[08:27] <Gizm0_> I'm still having problems with my Samba (Ubuntu 8.04). It keeps changing my samba password back to Unix one. Although i have changed these settings in smb.conf unix password sync = no and pam password change = no. How do i solve this problem?
[08:27] <SuperQ> linsejko1: 8.04 is great :)
[08:27] <ompaul> LSD|Ninja, there will be 8.04.1 in July ;-)
[08:27] <gumpontheweb> Problem,the switch between users says "users" and the power icon doesn't give me any options to restart or anything, it just restarts to login screen... What do I need to re-install?... I think the problem happened when I sudo apt-get something like the desktop(if that's any help)
[08:27] <Finnish> At least some desktop effects?

[08:27] <legend2440> mauro: try at beginning
[08:28] <adam7> Gizm0_: if you don't get a good answer, try #samba as well
[08:28] <tmapj> finnish
[08:28] <Finnish> I'm on Hardy
[08:28] <Gizm0_> adam7: ty
[08:28] <mogunus> I always found that reputation really weird.
[08:28] <pat5star> yoandy: you still here?
[08:28] <tmapj> finnish can we talk pls
[08:28] <Finnish> tmapj: Ok
[08:28] <yoandy> pat5star, sep
[08:29] <brandont> why dont i see to have the compiz aquarium plugin?
[08:29] <brandont> seem*
[08:29] <gumpontheweb> anyone?
[08:29] <Finnish> nakedgoat: I tried it, but I wasn't able to turn effects on
[08:29] <LSD|Ninja> Intel integrated can do Compiz, your Radeon would be heaps better than that. The big problem you'll have is geting the ATi drivers running reliably
[08:29] <zionpsyfer> cypha: That tells me you're synched up with the server and you're very close to what the time should be.
[08:29] <mauro> legend2440:  type this "sb and snd-sb16" at the beginning?
[08:29] <tmapj> finnish is your name registered?
[08:29] <fdv> Hi. when I install mdadm on hardy, the initrd produced is useless (and won't boot). does anybody know how to fix this?
[08:29] <cypha> for the main clock
[08:29] <cypha> but what about the 2nd ocation?
[08:29] <cypha> it's showing the same time as this one
[08:29] <cypha> except its in a different time zone
[08:29] <pat5star> yoandy: I just remembered, one thing that made it work and I don't know why, was to add this to rc.local: rmmod ssb; rmmod ndiswrapper; modprobe ndiswrapper...
[08:29] <cypha> should be 1 hour difference
[08:30] <tmapj> nakedgoat that didnt do the trick
[08:30] <legend2440> mauro type sb on one line then type snd-sb16 on another line
[08:30] <dpowerd> if its only 1 hour difference you can calculate the time yourself :P
[08:30] <Finnish> tmapj: I haven't done any registering, so I guess my name isn't registred
[08:30] <alessandro> ciao a tutti, mi potreste dire come faccio a trovare ubuntu.it?
[08:30] <illmorta1> does anyone know how to show your trash can on the desktop instead of in panel?
[08:30] <cypha> lol
[08:30] <tmapj> Finnish are you on any messenger?
[08:30] <cypha> it's the principle!
[08:30] <dpowerd> i know :P
[08:30] <pat5star> yoandy: obv you can put those 3 commands on sep lines. but those commands allowed my wireless to startup on boot. if you run those from a shell on your laptop now just to check, it should work
[08:31] <Finnish> Well, I'm on some messengers
[08:31] <zionpsyfer> cypha: Indeed, the time zone shouldn't matter to you as the end user. the NTP client (ubuntu) should adjust the time to your TZ.   Daylight savings perhaps?  What time zone do you have in?
[08:31] <brandont> why dont i seem to have the compiz aquarium plugin? do i have to install it?
[08:31] <baking> How do I open up TCP/UDP IP port ranges through ubuntu firewall in terminal

[08:31] <gumpontheweb> hello anyone.....MY Problem is the switch between users says "users" and the power icon doesn't give me any options to restart or anything, it just restarts to login screen... What do I need to re-install?... I think the problem happened when I sudo apt-get something like the desktop(if that's any help)
[08:31] <cypha> so America/New York
[08:31] <yoandy> pat5star, i had read that its necessary because a bug in the order the modules are loaded (ssb and ndis..) or anything like that :)
[08:31] <Finnish> Question is, why? I'm quite sure we haven't met before
[08:32] <cypha> and the second one is America/Grenada
[08:32] <legend2440> mauro: then save the file and reboot
[08:32] <zionpsyfer> cypha: Alright, I just switched my location to NY, and I'm showing 3:32. That what you're seeing?
[08:32] <pat5star> yoandy: right...cause I wasted a lot of time until I got that part, then it's been working great for me since
[08:32] <cypha> that's right

[08:34] <zionpsyfer> cypha:  K, and you're showing 2:30.  I'm a bit stumped if that's the case.  I'd use the Halifax TZ for now so you at least have the right time.

[08:40] <freakabcd> alsadk, what formet is the subtitle in?
[08:40] <JontyO> only a  week old
[08:40] <burner> JontyO: try the cd check to make sure your burn is ok?
[08:40] <JontyO> good :)
[08:41] <freakabcd> alsadk, mplayer should be able to handle your subs fine
[08:41] <JontyO> burner i tried downloading twice
[08:41] <burner> JontyO: that is untrue about less features
[08:41] <Grougrou> guess i'll switch back to xp :P

[08:41] <JontyO> g
[08:41] <gumpontheweb> ok, cool
[08:41] <burner> JontyO: did you run the cd check? it's possible that both are bad... though unlikely I agree
 srt , and the video did not work on mplayer
[08:41] <Starnestommy> tmapj: try running "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r)"
[08:41] <Starnestommy> tmapj: then "sudo modprobe vboxdrv"
[08:42] <JontyO> Burner: I'll try later, im downloading at a fast speed for a sec :P
[08:42] <legend2440> mauro:  ok lets try a reboot and see if it loads the soundcard
[08:42] <mauro> legend2440: ok. I will reboot
[08:42] <JontyO> 42mins remaining :/
[08:42] <burner> tmapj: alt+f2, gksudo gedit /etc/group  and add your username to the vboxusers: line then logout and back in
[08:42] <freakabcd> alsadk, huh? i have all subs and all vids working with mplayer
[08:42] <JontyO> suX
[08:42] <legend2440> mauro: ok
[08:42] <zionpsyfer> cypha: Try this in a terminal:  sudo tzselect        It gives you much more info and more options.
[08:42] <freakabcd> alsadk, weird that your video doesn;t work on mplayer
[08:43] <JontyO> burner: im using a download manager that verifies md5 so i told it to compare so i will know if its broken or not now (didnt use manager before)
 my vids ,rmvb
[08:43] <JontyO> Colourful :D
[08:43] <burner> JontyO: perfect.  best of luck
[08:43] <JontyO> Cheers Burner
[08:43] <freakabcd> alsadk, maybe the version shipping with ubuntu is an old version?
[08:43] <JontyO> Im really excited to get ubuntu on my laptop again
[08:43] <JontyO> I had it on my old pc
[08:43] <freeman> libstd++5

[08:44] <nakedgoat> replace username with ur username
[08:45] <burner> Radit: boot the hardy livecd and use "system -> administration -> Partition editor"
[08:45] <JontyO> gparted*
[08:45] <JontyO> dang new features :D
[08:45] <lartza_> Flash video is slow. Audio is normal.
[08:45] <cypha> k, i'm gonna restart zion
[08:45] <cypha> brb
[08:45] <Radit> gparted is currently not installed
[08:45] <JontyO> I aint used this since 6.10 or somet like that :P
[08:45] <freakabcd> alsadk, a bit unfortunate. dunno who packaged the mplayer. but my mplayer works fine with all files and all subs(vob,srt,ass/ssa)
[08:45] <burner> Radit: you can't resize or move your mounted partitions
[08:45] <tech0007> anyone tried adobe flash 10 beta? does it work?
[08:45] <Gin> lartza_: try flash 10 beta
[08:45] <burner> Radit: so boot the livecd
[08:45] <Gin> tech0007: it works very well here. great improvement over the 9
[08:45] <burner> lartza_: if you use metacity, flash videos are fine full screen
[08:46] <JontyO> Radit: Don't listen to me I don't know new features :P
[08:46] <tech0007> Gin: are you on ff3b5?
[08:46] <Radit> burner: i just need to format my partitoins, can i do this without booting to live cd?
 what about rmvb
[08:46] <alsadk> ?
[08:46]  * burner can listen to rhtyhmbox and flash again with flash 10 beta
[08:46] <Gin> tech0007: yes
[08:46] <Radit> JontyO: ok.. thanks :-D
[08:46] <burner> Radit: format the partition you're currently running from?  that doesn't seem like what you want
[08:46] <tech0007> Gin: so i jst download it from adobe right? its not in the official hardy repo yet?
[08:46] <JontyO> np brb
[08:46] <koheleth> has someone a torrent url for Hardy 32 bit please
[08:46] <freakabcd> alsadk, i've never had a problem with rmvb ever since mplayer started supporting that format (which iirc is 5+ years ago)
[08:47] <JontyO> back
[08:47] <burner> tech0007: might I suggest this blogger.  he works for adobe and always talks about the latest releases  http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/
[08:47] <JontyO> Burner: Did ya check out my laptop :PP
[08:47] <Radit> burner: not the one i'm running, just a partitioin; i'ts in ext2 i want to change it to ext3
[08:47] <mgolisch> gumpontheweb: when did that happen? i mean those two things not working anymore?
 ok whats codec i must to install to run rmvb
[08:47] <tech0007> burner: thanks, i'll check that out
[08:47] <gumpontheweb> my audio went out during my problems too, it also affected my internet, I lost my list o routers to connect to in wireless connections. the upgrade turned off my wifi... I have to keep pressing esc to go to an earlier version.. the 2 things dont work right
[08:48] <Gin> tech0007: yea, you have to dl it from adobe
[08:48] <freakabcd> alsadk, iirc there is no codec needed for just decoding. mplayer package should include all that
[08:48] <legend2440> koheleth: bottom of this page http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/hardy/
[08:48] <Gin> tech0007: here is the link http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
 whats iirc
[08:48] <Radit> is gparted the name of the program that's in the live cd to partitoin hard disk?
[08:48] <JontyO> Burner: Is it easy to install compiz fusion?
[08:48] <burner> JontyO: I didn't, but I haven't had stellar luck on Toshiba's historically
[08:48] <gumpontheweb> the fast user switching icon says "users" instead of an icon and also has "other" as an extra user
[08:48] <JontyO> Radit: Its a ISO u download
[08:48] <JontyO> or on floppy
[08:48] <koheleth> thanks, top for me :)
[08:49] <JontyO> and boot with it
[08:49] <JontyO> burner: stellar luck? good or bad?
[08:49] <tmapj> you guys nothing will work!
[08:49] <tmapj> you guys nothing will work!
[08:49] <n56> hey all
[08:49] <mgolisch> gumpontheweb: in your menu? or is it something you added to your panel?
[08:49] <JontyO> hey
[08:49] <gumpontheweb> the little man power icon use to bring a window up that asked if I wanted to restart, turn off hibernate, ect... Now it restart to the login screen instead of opening a window
[08:49] <Radit> JontyO: oh.. what's the program to partition the hard disk in live cd? my cd is slow
[08:50] <JontyO> erm
[08:50] <burner> JontyO: according to what I found, it looks like intel graphics which is nice, but I can't tell any of the other hardware... anyway.. i bet you'll be fine
[08:50] <gumpontheweb> it has always been on the panel
[08:50] <JontyO> In System Admin DiskPartition or something
[08:50] <n56> I have a question what is the command for Nautilus config editor
[08:50] <kante> hey everyone!
[08:50] <mgolisch> gumpontheweb: i guess it log you off as your user doesnt have permission to shutdown or something
[08:50] <gumpontheweb> my brother sudo apt-get something that caused this, he said it was the desktop???
[08:50] <mgolisch> -as
[08:50] <burner> Radit: you can also hit "alt+f2" and type "gksudo gparted"
[08:50] <zsiavas1> "sudo apt-get -f install" Errors were encountered while processing: cron logrotate squid ;;;how to fix it?
[08:50] <gumpontheweb> I get it...
[08:51] <Gin> n56: do you mean gconf-editor?
[08:51] <n56> it lets you edit he size of the top and bottom bars
[08:51] <JontyO> Burner: DXdiag doesnt show much info either, just 3 tabs display sound input lol

[08:59] <kante> dpowerd: thanks!
[08:59] <userlol> burner nah mate, ive got allsorts of errors now :S
[08:59] <burner> gumpontheweb: maybe you just deleted the logout button on your toolbar?  right-click it, add to panel, and add the "quit" applet?
[08:59] <aliosha> what terminal command can install every ~/*.deb file in one go?
[09:00] <burner> gumpontheweb: i'm not sure I understand... screenshot?
[09:00] <vegombrei> hi, ubuntu downloaded an update last night and i see ive lost sound... what do i do to fix that ??
[09:00] <Gizm0_> adam7: yea...but that could explain something. Like having two configuration files somewhere...
[09:00] <burner> userlol: crazy.  honestly, the only thing I ever do to set up ssh is "sudo apt-get install ssh" then i run ssh -l username ipaddress from another machine
[09:00] <vegombrei> nobody here can fix sound problem ?
[09:01] <burner> vegombrei: dell 1420 by chance?  got the laptop model?
[09:01] <aliosha> vegombrei, sudo apt-get install alsa-mixer?
[09:01]  * burner noticed breakage that was fixed by editing a modprobe file for the dell 1420s
[09:01] <vegombrei> i have an assembled desktop .. intel motherboard with onboard sound
[09:01] <alexkd> aliosha, for debfile in ~/*.deb; do apt-get install $debfile; done
[09:02] <zionpsyfer> aliosha: in the directory where they're all at:  sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[09:02] <vegombrei> aliosha: you think alsa will fix my problem ?
[09:02] <userlol> burner crap its having a whinge about host keys, i cant log in
[09:02] <burner> vegombrei: do you get sound in any app?  totem? flash? vlc? audacious? amarok?
[09:02] <aliosha> vegombrei, i had a similar one on 7.10 and it did
[09:02] <vegombrei> burner: none ..
[09:02] <burner> vegombrei: pulse audio running?
[09:02] <Gin> vegombrei: check if your sound drivers are loaded first. lsmod | grep snd  should return a list of entries, if not, then the driver is not loaded
[09:02] <aliosha> zionpsyfer, would sudo dpkg ~/*.deb do it too?
[09:02] <gofa> Burner
[09:03] <burner> userlol: have the latest updates?
[09:03] <gofa> Can you help me with a running server?
[09:03] <userlol> burner yup

[09:03] <burner> gofa: i can try, just ask yer questions :)
[09:03] <eccentricity> Trying out compiz, and I have a very, very simple question: Where do you configure it? What is the command for a configuration tool?
[09:03] <zionpsyfer> aliosha: indeed, just give dpkg the path to the debs.  if they're in your home folder, ~/*.deb would be the ticket
[09:03] <vegombrei> Gin: it returns a list of entries
[09:03] <burner> eccentricity: alt+f2, ccsm
[09:03] <burner> eccentricity: you might have to install compizconfig-settings-manager first
[09:03] <vegombrei> burner: how do i check if pulse audio is running ?
[09:03] <eccentricity> ccsm
[09:04] <burner> vegombrei: open gnome-system-monitor
[09:04] <Gin> vegombrei: then the driver is loaded. Did you try to restart your computer or relogin?
[09:04] <aliosha> zionpsyfer, woot!
[09:04] <eccentricity> sorry, I'm not used to non-sloppy focus....
[09:04] <burner> vegombrei: system -> admin -> system monitor
[09:04] <Gin> vegombrei: the sound system probably "crashed"
[09:04] <zionpsyfer> aliosha: heh, glad to have been a help.
[09:05] <aliosha> zionpsyfer, i was trying to use gdebi, forgot about dpkg at all *shame* *_*

[09:08] <AaronH> lars_bauer, try "sudo lshw -C multimedia" to see if your sound card is recognized and has its drivers loaded

[09:19] <_moro_bana_> hi
[09:19] <burner> !sudo | kwan
[09:20] <kane77> how can I run a command repeatedly on a command line?
[09:22] <kwan> burner: i know that.  you are telling me there isn't any default root password (when LivdCD) is ran, when i type su, its for the password.  I simply typed enter, and authentication failed
[09:22] <Metox> Good day. How can I format a HDD?
[09:22] <burner> kwan: you can make a root password
[09:22] <kwan> burner: it asks for*
[09:22] <burner> the password is not blank
[09:22] <burner> it simply doesn't exist
[09:22] <nakedgoat> kwan: use sudo
[09:22] <kwan> burner: i see. so how do i create one for the root, if i'm in the terminal
[09:22] <burner> "sudo passwd" will set the root password so you can use "su" again, but that's lame, just use sudo for the application you want to run :)
[09:23] <kwan> burner: okay thx
[09:23] <burner> kane77: for loops are cool
[09:23] <gumponthewe1> i lost sound and the wirelees driver or something that doesnt "enable" eth1? I have done tons of things and no success. when i try to ifup eth1 it tells me unrecognized or somethhing?  It happened when I tried updating to the 8 version. The wirless icon doesnt have any routers in the wireless connection list. have you heard anything like this or do you have a clue how nd what to fix?
[09:24] <burner> kane77: http://www.netadmintools.com/art423.html for example
[09:24] <Metox> The Drive is USB, and I try to get this NTFS sh*( off that disk. It's an external USB drive.
[09:24] <kane77> burner, or alternatively are there any benchmarking programs (that benchmark programs)?
[09:24] <burner> gumponthewe1: maybe the upgrade didn't finish?
[09:24] <dpowerd> does anybody use gdesklets widgets? im trying to set up one for weather but i get an error retrieving any weather
[09:24] <burner> dpowerd: screenlets are so much cooler than gdesklets.  check em out
[09:24] <dpowerd> ok
[09:25] <gumponthewe1> burner: how to do it again.... I dont think so, people on the forums are having the same problems, someone here told me to check my chipset which is broadcomm I think. Did all that and found NO HELP AT ALL
[09:26] <rascal999> I'd like to install ubuntu server through PXE, can this be done?
[09:26] <burner> gumponthewe1: did you try the ' system -> admin -> hardware drivers ' ?
[09:26] <LSD|Ninja> Sure, I can't tell you how but I know one of the Universities here has a network port in their computing common room that lets you boot an install Ubuntu over th network
[09:26] <broham1> i'm planning to dual boot windows with an existing ubuntu installation. is there some info i should write down before i do this. i know grub will be written over.
[09:27] <burner> LSD|Ninja: pxe server :)
[09:27] <mudd`Hossam> how come only gmail accounts car recieve mail from my posftix server? created using this guide (http://howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-ubuntu-7.10)
[09:27] <gumponthewe1> burner: Can I go back to previous, eveything worked well, after upgrade the wireless was the first thing wrong we noticed, got on the forums and noone can tell anybody how or what to fix... What should I do?
[09:27] <rascal999> how?
[09:27] <rascal999> do I need to download ubuntu server ?
[09:27] <rascal999> I've already configured dhcp and tftp
[09:27] <burner> gumponthewe1: you can't go back, but forge on, you can make it work! :)  try the hardware drivers thing
[09:28] <Jahooty> i have a new hp laptop with an atheros wireless card, ubuntu tells me that the atheros hardware abstraction layer is currently 'in use' however i cant get a madwifi driver installed or my wireless working, how do i do this?
[09:28] <Gin> mudd`Hossam: since gmail can receive your mails, so can others. but hotmail blocks mof the mails
[09:28] <gumponthewe1> burner: yea, you mean for my wirless, yea it was all fine, just not letting eth1 be enabled, it had a star saying disabled
[09:28] <dpowerd> burner, will that work on kubuntu by itself? o.0
[09:28] <dpowerd> i get an hour glass for a few seconds then nothing seems to happen
[09:28] <mudd`Hossam> Gin: @san.rr.com doesnt recieve them, and @hotmail.com wont either
[09:28] <LSD|Ninja> burner: I figured that was part of it what I meant was I couldn't explain how they set it up
[09:29] <mudd`Hossam> Gin: my ip is not on spamhaus or anything, what can i do to alleviate this issue?
[09:29] <Gin> mudd`Hossam: contact hotmail?
[09:29] <burner> LSD|Ninja: me either, cds have always worked quicker than figuring out pxe for me ;)
[09:29] <gumponthewe1> burner :can i go back to old setup untill those wireless bugs are fixed?.... It seems to only be laptops?
[09:29] <mudd`Hossam> Gin: eeeeugh, should i have roundcube (imap client) use my ISP smtp server?
[09:30] <burner> gumponthewe1: i bet it can work in hardy.  i bet those people just can't get it ;)  you can't go back without losing all your data
[09:31] <fromport> Q: i cant find synaptic under SYSTEM->ADMINISTRATION (am using hardy). I can start it from a terminal. how to add it to the menu ?
[09:31] <burner> mudd`Hossam: if your ISP works as a smarthost you can
[09:32] <gumponthewe1> ok, then what next, the drivers are the same as the 7.0  install I am on now( I have to press 'esc" and chose another boot to have wirless internet)
[09:32] <Jahooty> frojnd, the package manager?  i think adept is the package manager now
[09:32] <mudd`Hossam> burner: ill look into it, thanks all
[09:32] <Radit> anyone using virtualbox?
[09:32] <unicum> is it a known problam that hardy's partitionmanager stalls if you try creating a swap file with a random key?
[09:32] <burner> gumponthewe1: boot the latest kernel... pick hardware drivers, and enable it
[09:32] <burner> gumponthewe1: you dno't have to use ndiswrapper do you?
[09:32] <gumponthewe1> ohhh, how... I am not that trick at this yet.
[09:33] <fromport> never ming my question: found it under "main menu"
[09:33] <fromport> mind
[09:33] <burner> the latest kernel should be booted by default.  i would really make sure you have all the latest updates too
[09:33] <gumponthewe1> oh yea, when i use the new boot it wont let me open my hardware manager...what then?
[09:34] <gumponthewe1> I just updated to 8.something, should I do anything else?
[09:34] <burner> you can't open hardware manager?  wtf?  i think your update got interrupted somehow
[09:35] <gumponthewe1> i used update manager
[09:35] <burner> gumponthewe1: can you open synaptic and check for updates and install them
[09:35] <gumponthewe1> after reboot it starts to open then i get an error message
