[21:50] <Aeleon> uh, they're not suposed to be text files, are they?
[21:50] <Jeffx_> I was wondering, are their any benefits in using a KDE desktop over Gnome?
[21:50] <gnoift> aeleon: can you start a ftp deamon on your machine to grab the files? Otherwise filezilla can also handle scp
[21:50] <dark__> Hammer89 and what vid card are you using? in the driver section of xorg are you ising the right driver?
[21:50] <jimcooncat> Aeleon: I don't know about vpn keys. I know ssh keys are

[22:11] <georges> heading to devede...
[22:11] <gnoift> georges: i love devede it was the perfect solution to getting avi's on my ps3 before firmware 2
[22:12] <Sonja> how do i convert 100 jpg images (sorted alphabetically) into the pages of a single pdf document? they are of varying sizes, so the tool should auto-best-fit the images to Letter size on each page.
[22:12] <gnoift> apt-get install devede :-)
[22:12] <Aeleon> Sonja, do you have photoshop?
[22:12] <Sonja> yes i have it on my winxp computer
[22:12] <pike_> there is im sure a way to script it on ubuntu
[22:12] <Aeleon> you can do it there. Under the file menu, there's an automate option.
[22:12] <georges> hehe. gnoift, about the ps3... it now plays divx ok. does it also play HD divx? 1080i?
[22:12] <Aeleon> and one of those is uh, something like automate to pdf
[22:13] <Sonja> Aeleon neat
[22:13] <Aeleon> you have to have all the images you need open in ps, though.
[22:13] <FactTech> Professor_K -- Well, it's the part that's listed as relevant here http://tronprog.blogspot.com/2007/08/amarok-cant-play-mp3-files.html
[22:13] <gnoift> georges: never got a 1080i file before, best i've seen is 720
[22:13] <gnoift> and it played that just grat
[22:13] <georges> gnoift: hmm eah, heroes comes in 720p
[22:13] <Sonja> i'll try Aeleon's method, if ubuntu has no way of creating pdf from 100 jpgs
[22:13] <FactTech> Professor_K -- Did you upgrade something when Amarok stopped working?
[22:14] <Aeleon> i don't know if gimp has that option?
[22:14] <whabo> why doesnt my 4 GIGs of ram show????
[22:14] <Aeleon> have you ooked, sonja? ^
[22:14] <Aeleon> looked*
[22:14] <gnoift> did the guy looking for DENYHOSTS come right?
[22:14] <whabo> i just upgraded to 4 GIG of ram
[22:14] <neverblue> whabo, how are you viewing it ?
[22:14] <whabo> im only showing around 3 GIG
[22:14] <georges> gnoift: apparently a lot now in matroshka containes. I wonder if ps3 handles that
[22:14] <Sonja> i googled around but didn find
[22:14] <mikeylikesit5805> Whabo are you sure you computer supports 4 gb try memtest
[22:14] <whabo> from the about
[22:14] <gnoift> georges: mp4?
[22:14] <Professor_K> FactTech: no I just installed amarok, it never worked, yet.
[22:14] <georges> a propos: putting lotsa jpg into a pdf, there are scripts for managing pdf files.
[22:14] <whabo> mikey yes it supports 4 GIG
[22:15] <neverblue> whabo, about says its only 3GB, maybe do memtest, and see if one isnt working
[22:15] <Aeleon> whabo, you were just in the windows channel. What operating system do you run?
[22:15] <georges> gnoift: avhdc (spelling) the format on HD discs
[22:15] <whabo> maybe coz i need a 64 bit ubuntu?
[22:15] <FactTech> Professor_K -- That's weird. But mp3s do play in other programs?
[22:15] <Professor_K> yeah
[22:15] <whabo> ubuntu and windows
[22:15] <Sonja> georges you know how to convert 100 or so jpgs into a pdf ?
[22:15] <gnoift> georges: heh no i have no idea, i'm still struggling to get "transcode" to get my avi's to mpeg4 as mp4
[22:15] <neverblue> whabo, its on the Ubuntu CD
[22:16] <FactTech> Professor_K -- Amarok was a little weird for me the first few times I started it up. You might try 'ps aux | grep amar', kill all threads you find there, and try relaunching.
[22:16] <whabo> ill try something out hold on .. thx for the support
[22:16] <georges> gnoift: I usually use mencoder, way faster. no idea about mp4 though. have you tried avidemux?
[22:17] <georges> sonja: never did. I did the reverse. extract all jpg from the pdf. I don't remember what utility it was.
[22:17] <gnoift> georges: no not yet, i've installed it but i don't really like gui's that much as i do most of my admin work via text
[22:18] <georges> gnoift: me too, but for just the occasional video it's great.
[22:18] <obreiroGZ> Buenas a todos. Alguien me puede decir como olvidar la configuracion de una wlan en gutsy? utilizo el network manager
[22:18] <gnoift> Aeleon: i suggest if you setup your vpn or tunnel your traffic over the firewall, do so on port 443 - it never gets monitored and people don't think twice about it
[22:18] <Rohsputina> hello. i wish to install ubuntu to a seperate HDD ( hdb ) as for i have on hda stuff i wish not to change. if i was to install to hdb and then later wish to boot from hda , will the grub appear or the grub only written to the MBR on hdb ?
[22:19] <Aeleon> really, gnoift?
[22:19] <pike_> Rohsputina: it will write to the mbr of the hd it is installed to i believe. so youd need to follow the fixmbr link to write to hda
[22:19] <gnoift> georges: yeah, the ps3 was a real pain in the but the new firmware is just dandy except for the odd files that doesn't have the resolution dividable by 16
[22:19] <pike_> !fixmbr| Rohsputina
[22:19] <ubotu> Rohsputina: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[22:20] <Aeleon> I'll try it out.
[22:20] <Professor_K> FactTech: tried to type your command, still doesn't work...
[22:20] <FactTech> Rohsputina -- Unless you are using a different boot manager, I think you will need to have GRUB on the main hard drive.
[22:20] <gabriel7645> how do you make a script launch every time you log on?
[22:20] <FactTech> Rohsputina -- But I've never tried to set something up like you're describing.
[22:20] <gnoift> Aeleon: yeah, I tunnel EVERYthing over 443. gigs. vi your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add "Port 443" underneath "Port 22"
[22:20] <Rohsputina> well i would like to have "2 main hdds"
[22:20] <georges> gnoift: about devede, my mpeg is DVD compliant. will it reencode that or just burn it?
[22:20] <FactTech> Professor_K -- which command?
[22:21] <FactTech> Professor_K -- The 'ps aux' command?
[22:21] <pike_> !startup | gabriel7645
[22:21] <ubotu> gabriel7645: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[22:21] <Rohsputina> one with windows and the other with Ubuntu
[22:21] <georges> gnoift: fount it...
[22:21] <gnoift> Aeleon: then you use putty to point to port 443 instead of 22 - if're you connecting to port 22 the firewall admin will probably know it's not web traffic
[22:21] <Aeleon> i see.
[22:22] <Professor_K> FactTech: yeah
[22:22] <gnoift> georges: not sure, i've always just used it to convert avi's to DVD's.
[22:22] <gabriel7645> ubotu: I would do that except there is no launcher for this script I just created,
[22:22] <jules_winfield> hello all. just reinstalled ubuntu 7.10 i386 and I'm having some trouble getting steam to run via wine
[22:22] <Aeleon> gnoift - does it matter which udp port i use, in the case of this walkthrough you gave me? or can it just be one that's forwarded?
[22:22] <georges> gnoift: has option "file is already compliant PS"
[22:22] <FactTech> Professor_K: 'ps aux | grep amar' should list all processes/threads that may have been spawned and hung when Amarok didn't load.
[22:22] <gnoift> georges: i have a script that i wrote for qdvdauth somewhere if you want to do it that way
[22:22] <jules_winfield> i had it going before, but it's not being very friendly as of right now
[22:23] <FactTech> Professor_K: If you got nothing back (or just one line from your command), then there are no hung processes.
[22:23] <emilio> ubuntu-ni
[22:23] <FactTech> Professor_K: Have you tried launching Amarok more than once?
[22:23] <gnoift> Aeleon, i pretty much do everything over 443
[22:23] <Professor_K> FactTech: the weird thing is that everytime I restard amarok and try to play a file it says that it can't read mp3 and asks if I want to install mp3 support, and if I click yes nothing happens and it still don't work
[22:23] <jahrichie> s
[22:23] <georges> gnoift: hmm, just the thing I used qdvdauthor for is not in devede: create custom chapter breaks in the video file
[22:23] <Ubuntu-fan> lo all
[22:24] <Aeleon> wouldn't i have to forward 443 on my server's router?
[22:24] <Flare183> !hi | Ubuntu-fan
[22:24] <ubotu> Ubuntu-fan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[22:24] <FactTech> Professor_K: Do you have administrator access to the machine?
[22:24] <gnoift> you can setup a socks server on your pc at home and port forward it to a local port on your vista machine - then you tell your mmo client that you are using a socks server and it will encrypt, forward all your data to the local port, then over 443 to your machine, then out and bacj again overthe same port
[22:24] <jules_winfield> to be more specific, I downloaded the latest .deb from WineHQ and installed steam, wherein everything was perfectly fine. when I try to run the program, however the "connecting to account window" comes up and dissappears as soon as the "install Gecko" dialog pops up
[22:24] <sled> ciao
[22:24] <sled> ho una domanda
[22:24] <jules_winfield> any ideas?
[22:24] <gnoift> georges: i think dvd creates a break ever 5 minutes
[22:24] <Ubuntu-fan> anyone have any experience in checking the security of a wireless network ?
[22:25] <Flare183> !eu
[22:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:25] <Pici> Ubuntu-fan: try ##security or ##networking :)
[22:25] <Professor_K> FactTech: yeah
[22:25] <Flare183> !es
[22:25] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[22:25] <georges> gnoift: exactly, but I want the breaks at my points.
[22:25] <gnoift> Aeleon: you just tell your router that you want 443 to go to 443 on your lan, <IP_ADDRESS> or whatever local ip you're using
[22:26] <Aeleon> gnoift: i added the port to my sshd_config, but the network times out. the port isn't forwarded on the router my server's connected to, and I don't have the router's IP. :c
[22:26] <a_s_> Ciao is Italian
[22:26] <FactTech> Professor_K: If you can get the exact text of the error message, there's a good chance you can find a web page where someone else has experienced the same problem.
[22:26] <gnoift> georges: then i am at a loss ... no wait...that script i wrote does that exactly
[22:26] <Aeleon> !it
[22:26] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[22:26] <hammy> Hey i need help with my Skydome, i have 7.10 so...
[22:26] <georges> gnoift: before you send that script... I want a visual interface to define the chapter points. else I can just use todisk
[22:27] <gnoift> aeleon: yeah you need to tell the router that you want it go to your machine on your network otherwise it won't work, but trust me, if they have not figured it out by now they proably never will
[22:27] <Dragon67> hi
[22:27] <Aeleon> haha.
[22:27] <sled> hi
[22:27] <FactTech> !it | sled
[22:27] <ubotu> sled: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[22:27] <Dragon67> i just need help with tftp server
[22:27] <jules_winfield> anyone know much about wine/steam?
[22:27] <Flare183> hammy: try in #compiz-fusion
[22:27] <Dragon67> i have installed but dont know how to run it
[22:27] <FactTech> sled Mi dispiace non parlo italiano molto bene
[22:27] <sled> i have a question: i dloaded a gtk theme from gnome-look, i tried to load it in Themes section under Appearance, but it says format not valid
[22:28] <hammy> Flare183: thanks, i just wanted to know what channel it was in, again thanks a lot
[22:28] <gnoift> georges: i pretty much just used 5,15,20,25 to define the break points in a xml file
[22:28] <Flare183> hammy: no problem
[22:28] <sled> FactTech, no problem i wrote my question above
[22:28] <gnoift> sled: DRAG and DROP it into the gui
[22:28] <sled> what gui?
[22:28] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[22:28] <sled> the one of themes?
[22:28] <BigToe> [22:28:15] <@FC24> what language does Linux tend to be written in?
[22:28] <BigToe> [22:28:17] <@FC24> C++?
[22:28] <georges> gnoift: not useful. so there is a definitve lack on linux for a visual editor to define chapter points. that's so bad
[22:28] <mikeylikesit5805> hi all i have mythtv installed and when iever i go to play a dvd all i can hear is sound, no video, i can play the dvd fine in mplayer so that it what i checked for myth but still no luck does anyone have any idea
[22:28] <IndyGunFreak> Graphical User Interface?
[22:28] <Flare183> sled: means that you have to drag it to the correct hidden folder
[22:28] <sled> .themes ?
[22:28] <Pici> BigToe: ?
[22:29] <Dragon67> please help with tftp
[22:29] <sled> i did it. but i can't see it in themes list.
[22:29] <pike_> mikeylikesit5805: might check in #mytv-users  also
[22:29] <BigToe> someone asked me that question and I wanted an answer from here :P
[22:29] <Flare183> BigToe: what is with the random stuff
[22:29] <gnoift> sled: the normal gui you find under places. open up themes window and drop it from the Places gui you get when you look for files
[22:29] <mikeylikesit5805> thanks pike i will try that
[22:29] <pike_> mikeylikesit5805: er #mythtv-users
[22:29] <cdecarlo> Dragon67: why did you choose tftp?
[22:29] <gnoift> georges: no there is plenty!
[22:30] <georges> gnoift: ok, gimme the list!
[22:30] <nickrud> sled: try the custom button on the themes window, then look at controls. The themes on the front tab is for meta themes, including icon and window boarder
[22:30] <gnoift> georges: I just don't know what they are: I know the ubuntu studio comes with a frikken nice gui you can use
[22:30] <georges> ubuntu studio?
[22:30] <Dragon67> cdecarlo: i have cisco router and want to backup their image
[22:30] <Flare183> !ubuntustudio | georges
[22:30] <ubotu> georges: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org
[22:30] <Professor_K> FactTech: it's not really an error message, it says: Amarok currently cannot play MP3 files. and then one button: Install Mp3 support and another: No ...
[22:31] <Dragon67> by image i mean ios
[22:31] <georges> oh, heading towards #ubuntustudio now. thanks for that pointer!
[22:31] <cdecarlo> Dragon67: From what I've learned so far about tftp you don't want to use it to transfers backups of anything
[22:31] <gnoift> georges: sure dude - have fun
[22:31] <sled> no way
[22:31] <gnoift> georges: or girl :-)
[22:31] <sled> nickrud, the problem is that i can not load it
[22:31] <hammy> Dragon67:ISO
[22:31] <cdecarlo> Dragon67: b/c it uses UDP to transfer the data
[22:32] <gnoift> georges: it's a strange name :)
[22:32] <nickrud> Professor_K: system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are selected.
[22:32] <Dragon67> cdecarlo: in cisco router in order to back up their image i need to have tftp server that is the way that router can communicate with windows or linux
[22:32] <Dragon67> i know about windows but new to linux
[22:32] <Dragon67> cdecarlo: udp 69
[22:32] <georges> gnoift: yep. I'm a guy ...
[22:32] <georges> cu
[22:32] <nickrud> sled: you should try dragging the theme tar ball onto the theme window, that will install it properly
[22:33] <gnoift> PROF: have you heard about AUTOMATIX?
[22:33] <cdecarlo> Dragon67: are you talking about Trivial FTP
[22:33] <sled> nickrud: it is a .tar.gz and it says format invalid. (i tried)
[22:33] <Dragon67> cdecarlo: yes
[22:33] <nickrud> !automatix | gnoift Professor_K (problems usually come at upgrade time)
[22:33] <ubotu> gnoift Professor_K (problems usually come at upgrade time): automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[22:33] <gnoift> sled okay uo need to extract the .gz
[22:33] <hammy> wow no one in the #Compiz-fusion chan. is able to help me, they dont even reply...
[22:33] <nickrud> sled: there you go, probably a bad theme.
[22:33] <PriceChild> !patience | hammy
[22:33] <ubotu> hammy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[22:34] <cdecarlo> Dragon67: and the only way for the cisco router to communicate with other machines is through tftp?
[22:34] <Dragon67> i have read this article but do not work for me:http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/tftp.htm
[22:34] <cdecarlo> Dragon67: sorry man, I wish I could help but I gotta go
[22:34] <nickrud> sled: you could try  cd ~/.themes && tar xf /path/to/themetarball
[22:35] <Dragon67> cdecarlo: no i dont meant that i mean the only way to get file from cisco router and change their IOS is by tftp as far as i know
[22:35] <jules_winfield> anyone? a little help with wine and steam? pretty please with sugar on top?
[22:35] <hammy> haha PriceChild, ive been there for a while trust me, and i know i was just saying, like can anyone from this chan give me soem help with setting up skydome
[22:35] <sled> ok
[22:35] <Yggdrasil> hello, can somone help me configure an smb server so that it doesnt need a username and pw to connect to a folder i have ?
[22:35] <Dragon67> ok thanks
[22:35] <gnoift> AUTOMATIX adds all the needed repos to your /etc/apt/sources.lists file - i've never ever had a problem with it
[22:35] <nickrud> jules_winfield: begging will get you nowhere, but #winehq probably has the latest info on it
[22:36] <jorik808> how do i disable my trackpad on my laptop? i have a usb mouse
[22:36] <nickrud> jules_winfield: should have added a smiley to that line, it sounds a bit harsh :)
[22:37] <gnoift> Yggdrasil: there is a gui to samba that you can use that will allow guest logins
[22:37] <Yggdrasil> yes.
[22:37] <krim> Does anyone have any experience with running XP in VMware? Will it be really slow with intel core 2 duo e4500 and 2gb ram?
[22:37] <mazen> hi all ... can any1 assist me in setting up my nVidia driver? i've just downloaded the newest release for its official site for Linux x86
[22:37] <Yggdrasil> thanks
[22:37] <nickrud> !synaptics | jorik808
[22:37] <ubotu> jorik808: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> krim,  it should run fine. Ive ran it decently with much less.
[22:37] <jules_winfield> sorry. i didn't mean it to be.8-)
[22:37] <gnoift> Yggdrasil: but if you read the /etc/samba/smb.conf there is a documented guest login
[22:37] <nickrud> jules_winfield: no, mine was
[22:38] <Dr_willis_> krim,  that box has like 4x the cpu and 2x the ram on the box i was using vmware+xp on. :)
[22:38] <gnoift> krim: a suggestion : why don't you use virtualbox?
[22:38] <javaccen_> hey guys how can i install inetd for ubuntu server?
[22:38] <krim> gnoift: What's better about it?
[22:38] <Draggin> Evening
[22:39] <gnoift> mazen: why do you want to use the newest nvidia driver the one that is in the repos is .19 - which is very fast
[22:39] <Draggin> Can anyone help me get my Ubuntu back to life? I just messed up in trying to prepare for the upgrade to Gutsy
[22:39] <Beelze> krim: i would use virtualsbox too....it´s faster and has more funktions for normal user
[22:39] <jorik808> nickrud, thx
[22:39] <krim> Ok thanks, I'll check out virtualbox
[22:39] <Ph0ebus> Hi room :)
[22:39] <gnoift> krim: well, for one thing it is in the repositories so there will be no extra software installed
[22:40] <Rufus_> http://forum.swiftirc.net/viewtopic.php?t=14683 - POST PLEASE
[22:40] <nickrud> javaccen: sudo aptitude install inetutils-inetd
[22:40] <krim> gnoift: Just read that on Wikipedia, saves me a lot of trouble, thanks :)
[22:40] <gnoift> krim: VIRTUALBOX also has guest additions, just like vmware
[22:41] <Draggin> How do I install a standard nVdiia driver if I can't get into Ubuntu (GUI) at all?
[22:41] <mazen> ok matey gnoift ... i've set up kiba-dock ... and then found the compiz-fusion is not responding
[22:41] <Ph0ebus> krim, you can use Parallels Desktops too ;)
[22:41] <hammy> i have a little problem, ive been trying to fix my skydome for ages and i cant ever get it too, my problem is that when i try to use an image instead of sold colors, it doesnt let me like it says im using the skydome background but it just uses the regular standard colors as a skydome, how do i fix this?
[22:41] <mazen> i cannot use it like something is conflicting
[22:41] <gnoift> draggin: apt-get install nvidia* and check what you need from there any only install those
[22:42] <Draggin> gnoift - how would I know what I need though?
[22:42] <keisangi> is there's a way to select/move multiple entries in gnome menu ? alacarte seems to allow selecting/moving only entries one by one ..
[22:42] <gnoift> draggin: OR BETTER yet use: "apt-cache search nvidia"
[22:42] <gnoift> Draggin: you need nvidia-glx-new
[22:43] <gnoift> Draggin: that should pull in all the dependancies
[22:43] <Draggin> No - nvidia-glx-new is too new - I have a Geforce 4 card
[22:43] <keisangi> i have lots of menu entries to organize .. moving them one by one is slow.. isn't there's a better solution than just alacarte ?
[22:43] <gnoift> mazen: hm? Kiba dock...? I've never worked with that sorry man
[22:43] <Aeleon> ohmigod, how do i sudo with winscp?
[22:43] <IndyGunFreak> Draggin: is Ubuntu actualy installed, or are you trying to runt he Live CD?
[22:43] <gnoift> mazen: are you at least getting a X login?
[22:44] <nickrud> keisangi: heck, a year ago we were begging for something that worked at all :)
[22:44] <gnoift> Draggin: then use nvidia-glx
[22:44] <mazen> X login? i'm new in this matey
[22:44] <gnoift> Draggin: apt-get install nvidia-glx
[22:44] <Draggin> IndyGunFreak - yes, Ubuntu (feisty) is fully installed and was fully functional until I tried fixing stuff to prepare for upgrading to Gutsy from the alternate CD
[22:44] <IndyGunFreak> Draggin: why not just do a clean install?
[22:44] <gnoift> mazen: try "apt-cache search compiz
[22:45] <gnoift> "
[22:45] <Draggin> gnoift - what does apt-cache search nvidia
[22:45] <Draggin> do?
[22:45] <Professor_K> I tried to install those two packages one after the other respectively (libxine-extracodecs, libxine1-ffmpeg) and I got two error message in the terminal (the error messages are here http://pastebin.com/d5149310b) and amarok still refuses to play mp3 files...can somebody help me plz?
[22:45] <Draggin> IndyGunFreak - because I have a crapload of files and programmes running - don't want to reformat everything
[22:45] <mazen> ok gnoift
[22:45] <mazen> i'll try
[22:45] <IndyGunFreak> Draggin: wel, regardless, you'd be wise to make a backup before upgrading, if thats the case..... just in case something goes haywire
[22:46] <jklfdjskl> . /join #youbuntu
[22:46] <gnoift> Draggin: it looks through the ubuntu repositories and finds all the packages that have nvidia as a keyword
[22:46] <nickrud> Professor_K: go to system->admin->software sources , enable the first 4 , disable the cdrom.  In the terminal, run  sudo apt-get update   for luck, then repeat the line you used in the pastebin
[22:46] <gnoift> mazen: why don't you use the online repositories?
[22:46] <Draggin> IndyGunFreak - I did make a backup of the most important stuff and hope I won't lose them anyway, but it should still be less effort upgrading than reformatting
[22:46] <jklfdjskl> when people *TRY* to help but dont know what they're talking about, it HURTS the free software movement!
[22:46] <adub> where can i get a ubuntu matrix theme
[22:46] <IndyGunFreak> Draggin: i guess thats where i disagree, i find clean installing much easier.
[22:47] <Ph0ebus> adub,  on the "gnome art " website ;)
[22:47] <Kibble_> hey all
[22:47] <nickrud> jklfdjskl: then help here, raise the bar
[22:47] <Draggin> IndyGunFreak - dude, how long does that take?  Do you know how many packages I would have to get, reconfigure, etc. etc. all over again...
[22:47] <Kibble_> anyone here have an Nvidia Geforce go 7700?
[22:47] <Aeleon> nickrud, h must not know what he's alking about.
[22:48] <Kibble_> Draggin - i feel the same way
[22:48] <mazen> wt if i ust them? would this problem be sorted out?
[22:48] <Aeleon> draggin
[22:48] <nuno_nunes> HI PPL
[22:48] <Professor_K> nickrud: I already did that..
[22:48] <Draggin> Aeleon?
[22:48] <IndyGunFreak> Draggin: i can setup any of my systems in roughly an hour.. install all packages i use, remove packages I don't, and transfer data from my backup to my install.... then I usually spend about 10-15min setting up programs like xchat, pidgin, etc.
[22:48] <Kibble_> hey nuno
[22:49] <Professor_K> nickrud: in fact I did that before posting in the pastebin
[22:49] <nickrud> Draggin: you have to get them anyway during the upgrade. !clone makes automates replacing any packages you had instaled
[22:49] <Kibble_> indy - teach my whatever tricks you're using to do that
[22:49] <Draggin> IndyGunFreak - I'm rather new to Linux, so all of that will take me about a week :)  That's why I want to upgrade
[22:49] <Aeleon> Draggin: make a list? sometimes a clean reformat puts in perspective what you really need. if you can't be assed to reconfigure them, then, they must not be that important.
[22:49] <nickrud> Professor_K: then something went haywire, since that's the cause of your problem in the pastebin
[22:49] <IndyGunFreak> Kibble_: its not rocket science
[22:49] <gnoift> mazen: it's just better for upgrading i find, you have all the latest software and you don't have to find problems other people have already fixed
[22:49] <nickrud> gah. My grammer sucks this day
[22:50] <Kibble_> and i'm not a rocket scientist
[22:50] <gmoore> i'm thinking of setting up XBMC-linux on my HTPC, which currently runs Vista. i want as few headaches as possible for getting audio/video/etc working, so *before* i commit to wiping my hdd to install an os, i'd like to try a livecd. how hard will it be to get audio (SPDIF output via toslink), video acceleration (onboard intel GMA3100), etc working on an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[22:50] <Professor_K> nickrud: what's haywire: :S is that bad?
[22:50] <nightstalker> Hello
[22:50] <gnoift> i actually met a rocked scientist once :-) a girl!
[22:50] <Aeleon> Draggin: it beats seeing what doesn't upgrade seamlessly and having to uninstall *and* reconfigure.
[22:50] <Aeleon> Draggin: or that might just happen in windows, i'm not sure.
[22:50] <Kibble_> gmoore - RUN
[22:50] <mazen> should i download this thing matey?
[22:50] <nickrud> Professor_K:   gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org . Nah, you have no errors in that output, all is still good :)
[22:50] <gmoore> Kibble_: uh
[22:50] <gnoift> gmoore: have you had a look at mythtv? Probably.
[22:51] <adub> having trouble finding matrix theme
[22:51] <gmoore> gnoift: yes and xbmc is leaps and bounds beyond it
[22:51] <Aeleon> gnoift, i met a dude one. he wouldn't stop making reference to it.
[22:51] <nickrud> Professor_K: seriously haywire error messages, that is
[22:51] <josiah> whats up guys
[22:51] <IndyGunFreak> i backup all my files(mp3s, videos, office files, etc..).. install, wipe the drive, when its booted, i install all the software i like to use(about 8 programs that aren't with the normal install), then I remove about 5-6 programs that I don't ever use that come w/ a normal install, then i transfer all my files(this takes the longest, about 20-30min) from my 500gig USB drive.. once thast done, i set up my programs and do any updating
[22:51] <IndyGunFreak> thats left.

[22:51] <itch_> Hello guys. Having a little problem here. I`m trying to connect from Ubuntu to a windows share via NFS. So I use this command in the console: sudo mount <IP_ADDRESS>:/XJunk /media/share , where <IP_ADDRESS> is the ip pf the windows box. All I get is this error: "System Error: Connection refused".

[23:07] <nickrud> francesco: if you're concerned about someone having root access to your machine while at the keyboard, you should use a bios password and put a lock on the case. If they can boot or access the hard drive having recovery mode unprotected is irrelevant
[23:07] <Jowi> francesco, you can remove the recovery option from the grub menu.
[23:07] <Eagle2160> Ph0ebus I did but obviously you are not recieveing it
[23:08] <francesco> How can I remove the recovery option?

[23:09] <khelll> how shall i write in ntfs drive
[23:09] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: Like nikrud says, if your data is unencrypted neither root password, grub entry or bios will help. Someone could remove your hard-drive, plug it into a different system and have full access. To increase security, change your bios so that hard-drive boots first, and put a password on bios. Then add a password to grub as well. That's about as good as you can do minus a fully encrypted system.
[23:09] <Jowi> francesco, see /boot/grub/menu.lst. there is a line that say # altoptions=(recovery mode) single. see !grub for more info

[23:11] <francesco> Is there a document I could read about GRUB to learn how to set GRUB?
[23:11] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: Change bios so that someone can't pop a livecd into your drive and read it. Add a grub password so that someone can't hit esc and choose to boot into recovery mode.
[23:11] <nickrud> francesco: use a bios password. lock the case. If they can boot a cd or get to your hard drive, they can get your data

[23:15] <Eagle2160> ph0ebus how exactly do i do that on x chat?

[23:16] <francesco> Then, the point is remove recovery mode. Right?
[23:16] <tacone> francesco: right, but they should NOT know the root password

[23:17] <tacone> francesco: or a live distro such as knoppix, puppylinux etc.
[23:17] <primanox007> HELP! I'm a newbie and my daughter got rid of my lauch bar at the top of my desktop and I don't know how to get it back!!!
[23:17] <Ph0ebus> Eagle2160, it's " irc.freenode.net "
[23:17] <gnoift> Draggin: /etc/init.d/networking start
[23:17] <tacone> francesco: a safe computer, is a shutted-down-computer
[23:17] <Eagle2160> ph0ebus haha im sorry that is what i meant to type
[23:17] <MrObvious> /server irc.freenode.net
[23:17] <tacone> francesco: you could consider some kind of encryption
[23:17] <MrObvious> /join #roomname
[23:17] <Draggin> gnoift - that's it?  That's the same as selecting the networking icon in the GUI and choosing 'Wire Network'?
[23:18] <ArthurArchnix> francesco: When you turn on the computer you don't want anyone without authorization to be able to divert the system. If they can divert the system from the normal boot-up then they can read your data. Either with a livecd or with booting into recovery mode. First step is to prevent those things from happening. Set a bios password. Change the bios boot order so that hard-drive boots first. That eliminates live cd. Then set a passwo
[23:18] <nickrud> francesco: ultimately anyone who has physical access to the machine can do anything to it. Just a sad fact
[23:18] <Eagle2160> ph0ebus it says it can not find the server
[23:18] <Kibble_> on all files, gnoift?
[23:18] <gnoift> Draggin: yeah, that doesn't work for you?
[23:18] <MrObvious> A BIOS password is only good if people don't reset the CMOS. lol
[23:18] <chuy_max> gnoift, I checked it and changed composite to 1, I'm restarting X
[23:18] <Ph0ebus> Eagle2160,  try to ping irc.freenode.net
[23:18] <MrObvious> But it's a good measure.
[23:18] <tacone> there are also backdoors in older bioses
[23:18] <ArthurArchnix> MrObvious: Full disk encryption is the only choice for the truly paranoid.
[23:19] <gnoift> Kibble_: yes, far as i can see
[23:19] <neverblue> primanox007, sure, it was your 'daughter'
[23:19]  * ArthurArchnix is running full disk encryption :)
[23:19] <Draggin> gnoift - dunno, will have to try that. Do I type out that whole path just like that or do I switch to the folder and then execute 'start'?
[23:19] <MrObvious> ArthurArchnix: Lol. What do you use to run that?
[23:19] <primanox007> Hello? I'm running Ubuntu fiesty fawn (gnome) and my daughter got rid of my lauch bar (top of screen) and I don't know how to get it back
[23:19] <francesco> nickrud: But, if I set a password, the other users can't access the system.
[23:19] <gnoift> DRaggin: sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
[23:19] <ArthurArchnix> MrObvious: It's a default install option when using 7.1 alternate cd.
[23:19] <Kibble_> what are you talking about tacone?
[23:19] <Draggin> gnoift - thanks :) I'll try that
[23:19] <tacone> francesco: you could find some encrypted filesystem
[23:19] <Odd-rationale> primanox007: did you try adding a new panel?
[23:19] <tacone> francesco: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[23:20] <Dr_willis_> primanox007,  you can right click on the buttom panel in the PROPER place and get a 'New Panel' menu item.
[23:20] <chuy_max> gnoift, I did it but I get the same, glx is loaded, I didn't change anything, any ideas?
[23:20] <MrObvious> ArthurArchnix: If I was paranoid about data I would encrypt the data I needed encrypted.
[23:20] <Dr_willis_> primanox007,  but clicking on the proper place can be a little hard if the panel is full of stuff. :)
[23:20] <chuy_max> gnoift, I changed composite under extensions to 1 only
[23:20] <neverblue> primanox007, add a panel from a current panel
[23:20] <francesco> Guys, although I encrypt the system, the other users could delete my data, right?
[23:20] <gnoift> chuy_max: hang on a second let me check
[23:20] <neverblue> primanox007, make sure you lock the panel this time :)
[23:20] <iCEifer> anyone know how to play asx video files with ubuntu?
[23:21] <MrObvious> iCEifer: What Windows program plays ASX?
[23:21] <gnoift> chuy_max: did you add the following?
[23:21] <tacone> Kibble_: http://www.google.com/search?q=bios+password+backdoor
[23:21] <Lokii-> hello
[23:21] <Eagle2160> ph0ebus it is not working
[23:21] <gnoift> chuy_max: Section "Module"
[23:21] <iCEifer> MrObvious, windows media player
[23:21] <tacone> francesco: yes, if they enter recovery mode
[23:21] <gnoift> chuy_max: Load "glx"

[23:21] <damaltor_> can anyone tell me if "doing something for a living" is like "doing something for earning money"? im german, want to have that confirmed...
[23:21] <gnoift> chuy_max: ?
[23:21] <Lokii-> i was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with installing the realtek alsa HD audio drivers
[23:21] <MrObvious> iCEifer: Try http://vntutor.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-play-asx-files-under-firefox.html
[23:21] <MrObvious> lol
[23:22] <spencer70> does anyone know why my ubuntu has been running slowly lately and graphics have been choppy
[23:22] <nickrud> francesco: Remove the recovery mode, but be prepared to have to jump thru some hoops if you need to fix something critical. change the umask in /etc/profile to 026 , that way any files a user creates will not be readable by others. Those two things will give you essentially what you want, unless a cracker takes a whack at it
[23:22] <MrObvious> iCEifer: I literally typed in Google play asx linux
[23:22] <chuy_max> gnoift, I didn't add it, it was already there
[23:22] <MrObvious> spencer70: How much are you swapping?
[23:22] <nickrud> damageboy: yes
[23:22] <Flare183> !away | Johnny_5
[23:22] <ubotu> Johnny_5: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntunel - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also !Guidelines
[23:22] <tacone> francesco: are you sure you need so much security ?
[23:22] <primanox007> what is a button panel?
[23:22] <nickrud> damaltor_: in us english, yes
[23:22] <francesco> tacone: I have Windows installed in my PC too. If I uninstall it, must still I have GRUB?
[23:22]  * primanox007 is a NEWBIE
[23:22] <damaltor_> nickrud: thank you
[23:22] <gnoift> chuy_max: sorry, what exactly is the error message?
[23:22] <Odd-rationale> primanox007: bottom
[23:22] <pavan> hi all.. i am having problem with getting my mic working.. any ideas...what i can fix it
[23:22] <Lokii-> ArthurArchnix: have you ever had to install the realtek alsa drivers ?
[23:22] <MrObvious> spencer70: Which graphics driver are you using? It may have reverted to something stock if you installed the NVidia drivers.
[23:23] <Johnny_5> oh...sorry
[23:23] <neverblue> primanox007, try a few of them out, u wont break anything, just learn about it :)
[23:23] <Flare183> np
[23:23] <chuy_max> gnoift, "The composite extension is not available"
[23:23] <spencer70> MrObvious  my linux swap is 1.4 gb
[23:23] <gnoift> chuy_max: aaah
[23:23] <MrObvious> spencer70: Are you using that any? That could have something to do with it.
[23:23] <ArthurArchnix> nikrud: Can't you just enter grub, choose 'e' on the default choice, then boot into su mode anyway by editing the kernel parameters?
[23:23] <Ph0ebus> Eagle2160,  I can not type on your keyboard in your place ;)
[23:23] <gnoift> chuy_max: add Option         "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
[23:23] <Eagle2160> ph0ebus it is not working! do you have aim?
[23:23] <pavan> nickrud can you help me with a problems of not working mic.. please
[23:23] <tacone> francesco: I installed ubuntu yesterday formatting everything (the previous os was redhat) and still have grub
[23:23] <spencer70> mrobvious what do you mean am i using that
[23:23] <gnoift> chuy_max: and add Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[23:24] <mikeylikesit5805> has any been able to get dvd playback to work with a ati mobility radeon 7500
[23:24] <crdlb> ugh
[23:24] <Lokii-> i was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with installing the realtek alsa HD audio drivers
[23:24] <gnoift> chuy_max: to the device section
[23:24] <crdlb> chuy_max: you need to install xserver-xgl
[23:24] <chuy_max> gnoift, let me try that
[23:24] <majikins> hi anyone know how I can bring up that utility when I first installed ubuntu that allows you disk partition?
[23:24] <tacone> francesco: why do you need that ? hiding porno movies ? :-)
[23:24] <nickrud> pavan: I don't have a mic , never tried to get them working before. I see a lot of people asking for help on it, but don't know enough to help. sorry
[23:24] <chuy_max> crdlb, that package is already installed
[23:24] <crdlb> gnoift: no, that's for nvidia
[23:24] <Ph0ebus> Eagle2160, are you running windows ?
[23:24] <MrObvious> spencer70: I mean when you look at the command free, how many MB are being used by your swap?
[23:24] <crdlb> chuy_max: then you need to log out
[23:24] <QDawg> tacone: GRUB is stored on the the first part of the drive
[23:24] <happy1> is there a command to remount all drives that were mounted at startup?
[23:24] <Flare183> !offtopic
[23:24] <pavan> nickrud thx

[23:24] <spencer70> mrobvious i dont know how to check
[23:24] <QDawg> tacone: you can reinstall the windows bootloader, but formatting won't do it
[23:25] <MrObvious> spencer70: Load a terminal and type the command free.
[23:25] <krim> I installed VirtualBox but when I choose to start it it tells me "VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root." Anyone know what's up?
[23:25] <Jack_Sparrow> majikins: gparted... you can get it with apt-get or synaptic
[23:25] <francesco> tacone: Maybe :)
[23:25] <chuy_max> crdlb, I restarted xserver, CTRL ALT BACKSPACE, do I need to restart any other service?
[23:25] <tacone> QDawg: it's francesco the one in need of help.
[23:25] <gnoift> happy1: mount -a
[23:25] <Ph0ebus> Eagle2160,  try to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> insteed of irc.freenode.net
[23:25] <majikins> does that need xserver? or can I run it from cli?
[23:25] <MrObvious> krim: It tells you to do a sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[23:25] <Odd-rationale> krim: What kernel are you using? the real time? (ubuntu studio)
[23:25] <maybeway36> majikins: needs xserver, sorry
[23:25] <tacone> francesco: have you considered having a second machine somewhere ?

[23:26] <krim> Odd-rationale: I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit. So whichever is in that :)
[23:26] <iCEifer> MrObvious, that works for audio but any ideas on video? can you play http://apex.eng.usf.edu/sample/sample.asx
[23:26] <QDawg> tacone: i realize that, but you were talking about your reinstallation
[23:26] <krim> MrObvious: I'll try that.
[23:26] <tacone> francesco: put the machine in another door, mount some samba shares, and lock the door.
[23:26] <primanox007> OK... I got a new panel. How can I move the "menu bar" to the far left of the panel?
[23:26] <chuy_max> crdlb, nothing

[23:26] <tacone> QDawg: thanks. :-)
[23:26] <El_toni> i have some trouble with initrd and my fixed dsdt.aml,  someone hears something about?

[23:26] <majikins> I haven't installed xserver and prefer not to - so the utility when installing was gparted>\
[23:26] <francesco> tacone: The point is that if I 'hide' my data in my home directory, and then someone can simply access them turning on the pc in recovery mode, it's useless.
[23:26] <majikins> ?
[23:26] <Dr_willis_> primanox007,  right click. be sure its unlocked. Move it :)
[23:26] <tacone> francesco: also put lasers, and dogs to guard the room :)
[23:26] <crdlb> chuy_max: are you sure you have 'xserver-xgl' installed?
[23:26] <QDawg> tacone: and i was telling you why the reformat wouldn't erase grub
[23:26] <MrObvious> spencer70: There you go, you're using almost all your swap. That's where your performance is going.
[23:26] <Lokii-> !atience
[23:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about atience - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[23:27] <Eagle2160> ph0ebus ok this is obviously not working I do not have time to waste can we figure something out please?
[23:27] <chuy_max> crdlb, xserver-xgl is already the newest version.
[23:27] <Lokii-> lol
[23:27] <Kibble_> my problem is with compiz-config
[23:27] <tacone> francesco: you cannot prevent people to delete that data. but you can encrypt that
[23:27] <chuy_max> crdlb, ok, Im restarting the PC, I already logged out when I killed xserver
[23:27] <krim> MrObvious: I only get "* Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}

[23:27] <Odd-rationale> krim: OK, well I had that problem with the real time kernel. I don't beleive the 64 bit uses rt.
[23:27] <spencer70> MrObvious Should i make my swap bigger?
[23:27] <chuy_max> crdlb, feisty
[23:27] <happy1> gnoift:  didn't work
[23:27] <tacone> francesco: and backup that data to a remote location regularly
[23:27] <crdlb> oh :/
[23:27] <crdlb> chuy_max: you need to set it up manually then

[23:28] <chuy_max> crdlb, and how is that?
[23:28] <tacone> francesco: if your data it's so important you're not likely to loose it for an hard disk failure as well
[23:28] <primanox007> I mean the ubuntu icon with all the applications attatched to it. How do you move that (within the panel) to the far left?
[23:28] <QDawg> tacone: haha, it really does sound like he doesn't want to loose a porno stash or something along those lines
[23:28] <MrObvious> spencer70: If you wanna see which are using the most swap type the command top, then hit Shift+F then hit N

[23:30] <krim> Odd-rationale: Yeah, I got it through aptitude install virtualbox
[23:30] <MrObvious> spencer70: As you can see I'm using Xorg and Firefox taking up the most room in my swap (which is none)
[23:30] <QDawg> tacone: to "jack off" to

[23:30] <tacone> :-)
[23:30] <MrObvious> krim: Sorry I don't remember what your problem is but I must leave.
[23:30] <gnoift> Aeleon: that won't work if you want to cd and work as route do sudo bash

[23:30] <Flare183> the mess using sudo to change dirs?

[23:40] <gnoift> chuy_max: no man wa just q how you solved the ati problem. never worked on ati before
[23:40] <imaginator> adub: at the grub prompt boot using the alternate mode.   Then you can remove that package.  The nvidia packages for Ubuntu really don't work as well in my experience as the official nvidia driver installers, which detect if the video card driver is compatible.
[23:40] <DrMitch> Eagle2160, see nickrud

[23:40] <sveakex> hey, my friend has a problem, he claims to have installed ubuntu however there is no difference when he boots the computer up! why is this?

[23:41] <imaginator> adub: also this may help: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:42] <DrMitch> ok
[23:42] <DrMitch> so reinstall from scratch
[23:42] <Eagle2160> drmitch i can not there is no option to.....
[23:42] <DrMitch> Eagle2160, during the install process, you can format the partition
[23:42] <poeloq> re
[23:42] <chuy_max> gnoift, the merge has more than 1 year
[23:42] <nickrud> Eagle2160: any install is 'from scratch'
[23:43] <adub> ok i removed the nvidia-flx drivers and i still do not have video
[23:43] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: thats an interesting prob, never heard of that one.
[23:43] <Odd-rationale> krim: OK, sorry, this is over my head. try #vbox
[23:43] <sveakex> arthurarchnix, i am not infront of my friends pc, i am doing him a favour by getting him help, he says he installed ubuntu but it looks like there is no difference when he boots it up, is grub missing?
[23:43] <erle-> what's the matter if xrandr does not detect a plugged vga monitor?
[23:43] <adub> my error msg is no screens found
[23:43] <Eagle2160> nickrud and drmitch i installed it but it completely messed up and did not fully install i need to start the install over again but it does not have an option to do that how the heck do i install it correctly?
[23:43] <krim> Odd-rationale: Just joined that channel :) Thanks for trying to help.
[23:43] <DrMitch> anyone know how to autologin as a user in non-X runlevel?
[23:43] <nickrud> Eagle2160: but before you start the new install: if you had problems with the last, run the disc check
[23:43] <gnoift> krim do you have all main universe multiverse and restricted enabled? if you downloaded the virtualbox package from the website, uninstall it and use the one in the repositories
[23:43] <Odd-rationale> krim: Sorry couldn't do much...
[23:43] <nickrud> Eagle2160: just tell it to install, it will start all over from the beginning
[23:44] <DrMitch> put in the cd and choose "boot livecd or install" or something like that
[23:44] <Eagle2160> nickrud it does not have that option
[23:44] <Eagle2160> drmitch it does not have that option
[23:44] <imaginator> erle-: do you mean you don't have an option as far as display depths and sizes?
[23:44] <gnoift> chuy_max: yes i know it was a long time ago - but far as i can tell the work on the drivers is only starting to filter through now
[23:44] <happy1> can anyone tell me how to extract a bz2 file from the command line to a Windows share (e.g., smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/extract ?
[23:44] <krim> gnoift: But the one in the repositories didn't work, that's why I downloaded the deb
[23:44] <erle-> imaginator, he does not display anything
[23:44] <nickrud> Eagle2160: when you tell it to install, it will start at the beginning, as if you had never installed before
[23:44] <erle-> he only displays my laptop display
[23:44] <javaccen> any chance someone could help me? I am only getting 80mbit/s transfer over gigabit ethernet with iperf
[23:44] <gnoift> krim, what did it not work?
[23:45] <erle-> *it
[23:45] <imaginator> erle-: how are you running xrandr ?
[23:45] <erle-> xrandr -q
[23:45] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, would 64-bit thing have anything to do there..i've never heard of it either
[23:45] <gnoift> krim, you're using 7.10?
[23:45] <Eagle2160> nickrud ok first of all it does not have that option second of all i have tryed that atleast 5 times already and it is not working!
[23:45] <erle-> imaginator, to find out, which devices are plugged
[23:45] <l337_n166a> happy1:  bzip2 -d $file $destination ?
[23:45] <ArthurArchnix> sveakex: Could be missing. Is it possible he never actually installed it? How many hard-drive's does he have?
[23:45] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: i'm not really familiar w/ 64bit, but i wouldn't think so.
[23:45] <nickrud> Eagle2160: then maybe you have a bad disk. Did you run the disk check utility on the startup screen?
[23:45] <erle-> i have gutsy with intel 945GM and xserver 1.3
[23:45] <arag0rn> and I've never heard of Windows touching grub unless one reinstalls windows
[23:45] <gnoift> javaccen: what's your mtu size?
[23:45] <krim> gnoift: 7.10 64 bit. Odd-rationale sent me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625975 and the solution seems to be in rolodoom's post.
[23:45] <DrMitch> Eagle2160, what options do you have?
[23:45] <erle-> everything should work fine, i intel does not lie, imaginator
[23:45] <sveakex> arthurarchnix, he has 2 hdd, his windows partition is smaller than before atleast.
[23:46] <javaccen> gnoift: 1500
[23:46] <imaginator> erle-: the video card driver you have may not be compatible with the xrandr extension.
[23:46] <Eagle2160> nickrud yes it is a good disk but all the option on there say start and install or just boot but it will not install from the begining
[23:46] <javaccen> i am not sure if the switch supports jumbo frame
[23:46] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak,  and I've never heard of Windows touching grub unless one reinstalls windows..so this kind of confuses me
[23:46] <gnoift> krim, so it's working alright now? i'm also running 64 and it worked out the box
[23:46] <erle-> imaginator, it is
[23:46] <gnoift> javaccen, what's it set on the switch?
[23:46] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: very true.... so how ar eyou here right now?... are yo on the live CD?
[23:46] <erle-> imaginator, there are official howtos by intel
[23:46] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, no a different machine :)
[23:46] <nickrud> Eagle2160: Some machines have problems installing from the live cd. You may have to try the alternate one from releases.ubuntu.com/7.10
[23:46] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: oh ok.
[23:47] <imaginator> erle-: oh, so are you sure you're using the proper Intel driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[23:47] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: the pc thats messed up, is it running XP?
[23:47] <erle-> imaginator, i don't have an xorg.conf
[23:47] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, yep
[23:47] <javaccen> i am not sure the switch can be configured?
[23:47] <krim> gnoift: Nope, I uninstalled virtualbox from the repositories and downloaded the deb, but when I tried to install it it said that it couldn't because it had unmet dependencies.
[23:47] <adub> can somenoe help me get my X working again
[23:47] <erle-> imaginator, the official driver by intel is free software
[23:47] <Eagle2160> nickrud no all i need to do is install it from the begining how do i do that the cd is working fine all i need to do is restart it from the begining
[23:47] <adub> i seemed to have crashed it
[23:47] <imaginator> erle-: so you're trying to do a config-less X11?
[23:48] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: well, if you can get an XP boot disk, and get to DOS, you can run fixmbr and fixboot   that will erase the masterboot record, and the 1st boot sector, which should clear out grub, and allow you to boot straight to Windows
[23:48] <l337_n166a> X is evil :(
[23:48] <gnoift> krim: apt-get install -f ?
[23:48] <l337_n166a> it's especially evil if it break!
[23:48] <erle-> imaginator, i want to do it by randr - dynamically
[23:48] <ArthurArchnix> sveakex: If it installed normally, without problems (e.g., without aborting the grub install) then what's seemingly happened is that grub has been installed to the wrong hard-drive. If your friend is putting windows and ubuntu on one hard-drive and just using the second as a shared drive, the simplest solution is to unplug the second unused drive. Boot up the live cd and reinstall grub.
[23:48] <erle-> since gutsy there is no need for xorg.conf, im
[23:48] <nickrud> Eagle2160: it boots to the live cd desktop?  Double click the Install Icon. If that does not work, your machine won't install from the live cd, and you will need the alternate
 how you testing the speed, ftp?
[23:48] <krim> gnoift: Thanks :D
[23:49] <aszwet1> hello i'm having problems with video playback on my laptop with an nvidia 4200 go.  i get a horizontal strobing line about an inch from the top of the video.  anybody else ever get this problem?
[23:49] <adub> gosh dang it i hate this you dont learn anything by formatting and reinstalling all the time
[23:49] <javaccen> gnoift: iperf, but ftp speed is the same
[23:49] <aszwet1> if not how did you install vnidia
[23:49] <adub> but this might be what i have to do
[23:49] <Eagle2160> nickrud it will not install like that because the original install did not completely install correctly about half waay through it quit out i just need to start it from scratch again
[23:49] <ArthurArchnix> l337_n166a: gnome can't switch apps across virtual desktops afaik. http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12896&highlight=alt+tab+desktops
[23:49] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, thanks..that way I'll have at least one OS up :)
[23:49] <gnoift> krim: it installed the missing dependancies ?
[23:49] <nickrud> Eagle2160: you are not listening. Double clicking that starts it from scratch.
[23:49] <Johnny_5> aszwet1: is the video choppy?
[23:49] <grekkos> is there any conventional way to change my default video program in linux?
[23:50] <gnoift> javaccen: have you tried bwm?
[23:50] <krim> gnoift: It sure did
[23:50] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: yeah,t hats what i'm thinking, then once you do that, you can either 1.  reinstall 32bit ubuntu(if you think thats the prob), or attempt to use the Live CD to reinstall Grub*(which i can't really help w/, sorry)
[23:50] <rredd4> I just purchased a 160GB hd.  I want to format it ext3, partion editor does not see it.  do i have to mount it first? how please
[23:50] <DrMitch> grekkos, depends on your WM
[23:50] <grekkos> DrMitch: i thought so... i'm using Gnome... is there a gconf key for it?
[23:50] <imaginator> rredd4: is it an external driver or an internal drive?
[23:51] <ArthurArchnix> l337_n166a: The best you can do with a default ubuntu install is to assign your desktops shortcut keys, for a quick switch to them, then alt-tab. E.g., Alt-1 is desktop 1, alt-2, etc...
[23:51] <rredd4> imaginator  internal slave drive
[23:51] <sveakex> arthurarchnix, ok, does ubuntu by default install on the wrong hdd? :S
[23:51] <imaginator> rredd4: does it show up in your dmesg?
[23:51] <aszwet1> Johnny_5, it's not a different color or anything, it just kinda strobes
[23:51] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, would you think installing ubuntu on a different physical hard drive would help ?
[23:51] <ArthurArchnix> sveakex: In my personal experience here and on the forums ubuntu installer and grub do not handle installations with dual-boot/dual-sata-drives very well.
[23:52] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, and I've already tried the Live CD grub thing..not very successful :)
[23:52] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: ok, so thats no joy.
[23:52] <Twinxor> oh cool, KDE4 is out
[23:52] <Vir4030> http://blog.sillica.com/2008/01/11/koopa-died-in-a-haberdashery-accident/
[23:52] <Hilikus_> where is the right place to permanently change your environment path variable in ubuntu??
[23:52] <l337_n166a> ArthurArchnix: it was a prob with the GL desktop, and the v-desktop switcher that caused it - i told gl desktop prefs that i had 2 columns, 1 row, but the pager only had 1x1.  setting the pager to 2x1 gave me back the two desktops, but it hid all the windows i was using :-(
[23:52] <JRU909> Ok, when I finally get ubuntu installed, will my swap partition make up for my small ram? ram=256 swap=1 gig
[23:52] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: well, you'll have a bunch of space that Windows won't be able to see on your primaryd rive(however big your ubuntu partition is).. so you'd have to partition/reformat it also.
[23:52] <sveakex> arthusarchnix, so the best solution is to take away one hdd or use another distro?
[23:52] <qwaz> can someone tell me how to stop cron from emailing me all the time?
[23:52] <adub> :( how can i repair my X i was trying to install the latest nvidia drivers and my drivers were fine
[23:53] <adub> but then my X server will no longer load
[23:53] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, interesting..I'm facing a dual boot, dual sata drive problem too
[23:53] <rredd4> imaginator  not sure, looked but not sure what to look for.
[23:53] <l337_n166a> qwaz:   crontab -e -u $username
[23:53] <IndyGunFreak> sveakex: whats the issue.. that hardl seems like a solution
[23:53] <adub> i did apt-get remove nvidia-flx and then reboot and x still will not load
[23:53] <l337_n166a> qwaz: comment the line that's doing it maybe
[23:53] <gnoift> ArthurArchnix: i've had the same problem, but only with debian based nixes - i need to change my disk boot priority if there's a problem, which there almost always is after install and then fix things in /boot/grub/menu.lst and change hda0 to hda1/2/3 etcetera
[23:53] <rredd4> imaginator  can i look with a more specific command?
[23:53] <imaginator> rredd4: most likely something named sda or sdb
[23:53] <nickrud> JRU909: when that swap starts to get full, you are gonna get disk thrashing and a nearly useless desktop. You should max out at around 512mg swap
[23:53] <qwaz> l337_n166a: all the jobs are emailing me
[23:53] <imaginator> rredd4: dmesg | grep disk   or dmesg | grep drive or some variant of that should work
[23:54] <spencer70> i have a partition that says im not allowed to write to it how can i write files to it
[23:54] <sp0ro> Apparently my login screen has a different resolution(1900x1080) than my desktop resolution(1280x1024). Is there anyway to fix my login window to show a resolution of 1280x1024?
[23:54] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, yea that too :)..should'nt be a problem once I get ubuntu working
[23:54] <ArthurArchnix> sveakex: No, certainly not the best. I said the simplest. Once you've got ubuntu installed then you plug the other drive in and edit grub manually. Here's a link that I'm currently working on with someone on the forums that might explain more: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664864
[23:54] <Ubuntu-fan> I am testing my wireless network with airsnort... how many packets do I need and how many "Interesting" / "Unique" to crack the WEP key ? And will airsnort crack the key by itself or do I need to do something after I have collected enough packets?
[23:54] <JRU909> nickrud: yet again, you have the advice, thank you, is it ok to pm you if I have any other problems?
[23:54] <l337_n166a> qwaz: maybe you have to config cron - maybe a conf in /etc
[23:54] <IndyGunFreak> arag0rn: good luck.. never heard that one, doesn't make any sense, i guess worst comes to worst(assuming you have a reasonably current backup), you could completely reinstall both OS's
[23:54] <ArthurArchnix> gnoift: Yeah, so maybe another distro like fedora 8 or opensuse is an option for people who are in those situations. Any positive experience?
[23:55] <rredd4> imaginator  sdb attached scsi disk (its really a eide)
[23:55] <nickrud> JRU909: you should ask here on the mainline, because others here know a lot more than I do. I had a 256 ram machine, that's why I answered
[23:55] <spencer70> how come i cannot write to one of the partition on my computer
[23:55] <IndyGunFreak> spencer70: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[23:55] <sveakex> IndyGunFreak, my friend installed ubuntu on his computer with 2 hdd, and now it boots exactly like it did before, he told me he claims he installed grub on hd0
[23:55] <gnoift> adub: you might want to try and move the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file away and then restarting X or reinstalling your driver
[23:55] <rredd4> imaginator  what is PM: resume from disk failed. ?
[23:55] <JRU909> nickrud:k, thank again
[23:55] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: You're have a grub problem?
[23:55] <arag0rn> IndyGunFreak, agreed :)..just poped the cd back in
[23:55] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix, yep
[23:56] <IndyGunFreak> sveakex: are you on a RAID?
[23:56] <spencer70> IndyGunFreak 7.10 i just need to change permissions but im not sure how
[23:56] <imaginator> rredd4: the Linux eide layer uses SCSI emulation for various reasons.
[23:56] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: Just scrolling up to find it and see if it's possible to avoid a reinstall.
[23:56] <sveakex> IndyGunFreak, my friend, don't think so why?
[23:56]  * Aeleon FLIPS OUT ON WINSCP AND ROOT.
[23:56] <gnoift> ArthurArchnix: I've gotten sidux to work out the box and sabayon aswell, debian stable/testing is a bit strange when it gets to that
[23:56] <Aeleon> Root doesn't have a password, right?
[23:56] <rredd4> imaginator ok, how do i format it ext3?
[23:56] <nickrud> Aeleon: correct
[23:56] <Aeleon> unless i set one.
[23:57] <Aeleon> thank you, nick.
[23:57] <IndyGunFreak> sveakex: well, whoever is having the problems... i've had issues w/ dual booting on two hard drives, when the two hard drives were on a RAID.. other than thta though, its easy
[23:57] <spencer70> IndyGunFreak:  7.10 i just need to change permissions but im not sure how
[23:57] <imaginator> rredd4: first verify that the kernel has attached to the device
[23:57] <nickrud> Aeleon: again correct :)
[23:57] <IndyGunFreak> spencer70: ok, sorry don't have an answer
[23:57] <arag0rn> ArthurArchnix,  I've been trying to install gutsy on my intel core 2 duo. It already has windows.Well it installed alright and booted fine into linux, but when I booted into windows and did a reboot.. I could never again see the grub scren..it just reboots again and again...pasted the problem again
[23:57] <gnoift> ArthurArchnix: but this is on y nforce4 motherboard, the problem might be fixed now
[23:57] <Aeleon> uh,
[23:57] <sp0ro> Apparently my login screen has a different resolution(1900x1080) than my desktop resolution(1280x1024). Is there anyway to fix my login window to show a resolution of 1280x1024? It used to be 1280x1024, but randomly changed. I did not play with any configurations before this started happening.
[23:57] <imaginator> rredd4: you need to create a partition.  you can use parted or many other tools.  I'm not sure why the Ubuntu tools aren't working
[23:57] <Aeleon> i can't ssh to my box with the username root though, can i?
[23:58] <imaginator> rredd4: then it's a matter of mkfs.ext3, and adding it to your /etc/fstab
[23:58] <LjL> Aeleon: no, you can't
[23:58] <spencer70> Does anyone know how to change the read/write permission of a partition
[23:58] <sveakex> IndyGunFreak, ok, i told him we will reinstall it again together, then it hopefully will work.
[23:58] <nickrud> sp0ro: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf , there should be a Modes line near the end. Set that to the res you want
[23:58] <jabagawe1> spencer: im pretty sure you can chmod it like any other folder after you assign a mount point to it
[23:58] <IndyGunFreak> sveakex: yeah.., hopefully it works, i've had very little problem when installing Windows on one drive, and Linux on the other(its how i learned)
[23:58] <rredd4> imaginator when i open gparted, only sda shows
[23:59] <sveakex> IndyGunFreak, he had both OS's on the same drive
[23:59] <spencer70> jabagawel: how do you chmod
[23:59] <elliot_> hey, quick question, is there some Linux equivalent to NetSend for Windows?
[23:59] <ArthurArchnix> arag0rn: What's the hardware setup? And you installed, after install you remove cd and it boots into grub, you booted linux. Then rebooted again, and chose windows (through grub), then a reboot, and grub was gone and windows boots all the time?
[23:59] <IndyGunFreak> sveakex:  i understand that..
[23:59] <Toaster`> Evening all.  If I've ssh'd into another box, can I pull that X session to my client box via xforward, without restarting what is running on the server box?
[23:59] <emasko> i, using an old emachines celeron 990MHz 128MB of ram and liveCD ubuntu 7.10, it can not even detect the video correctly even at safe grafiks, any suggestion?
[23:59] <Hal9000> hello
[23:59] <Ubuntu-fan> anyone have experience with airsnort ?
[23:59] <gnoift> sp0ro: you can check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see where the dirrerence is and only keep the resolutions you need but make sure you make a backup cause if that file gets messed it's not always so easy to fix.
[23:59] <imaginator> rredd4: oh, ok.  I wonder, could it be a hardware issue?  Did you do a cable select mode?  could it be set as a master instead of a slave?
