[14:52] <Pici> GuySoft: Well, theres the update manager, that will automatically show up when you updates available, but there really isnt anywhere to pull the news from.
[14:52] <Stargazers^> I just need MSN.
[14:52] <_Zeus_> erUSUL: nope
[14:52] <allu1> unop:how do i do that i was advised last time to do so and it helped  (this time i frogot it 9 but now it was same agen
[14:52] <_Zeus_> don't think so
[14:53] <GuySoft> Pici, my company has an ubuntu based distro. we will have where to pull the updates from.. the updates is what interests me
[14:54] <unop> allu1, the same way you create lauchers .. just make sure the command says      gksudo synaptic
[14:54] <Stargazers^>  Anyone?
[14:54] <Stargazers^> Installed Empahty?
[14:54] <babo> guys, I need to open a AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file on Linux. Can anyone help pls ?
[14:55] <Pici> GuySoft: I think you'd have to do some hacking about in that code to get it to work with apt/udpate manager, I'm not aware of a included app that has that sort of tooltip
[14:55] <DjVMint> Stargazers^: open synaptic
[14:55] <Stargazers^> DjVMint: Yes?
[14:55] <allu1> i make launchers whit xfc 4 software finder i find them there and  put in desktop
[14:55] <DjVMint> hang on...
[14:55] <DjVMint> Stargazers^: which backends do you need+
[14:55] <DjVMint> ?
[14:55] <Stargazers^> Only MSN.
[14:55] <Stargazers^> Just for testing.
[14:55] <GuySoft> Pici, yes you do :-) , its the universal desktop notification system.. evolution uses it and a few other apps
[14:56] <Stargazers^> But well, do you know that does Empathy can call to MSN?
[14:56] <Stargazers^> I mean, voip?
[14:56] <Stargazers^> If not, then I don't need empathy anyway.
[14:56] <DjVMint> tried amsn?
[14:56] <GuySoft> Pici, but i guess if you dont know of anything that does that.. ill have to modify that app.. i found it trying to build what i just described you.. i was looking for some dbus call
[14:56] <DjVMint> empathy is a bit bugged yet, tbhu
[14:56] <Stargazers^> Well, when I tried it, then there was no VoIP possibility...
[14:56] <DjVMint> -u
[14:57] <genius> can someon please explain to me how to start an application in ubuntu if it is not listed in any of the menus and where are the exe files kept if there is such a folder in ubuntu. I'm a recent convert from Windows so pardon the question
[14:57] <Pelo> Stargazers^, I think the viop app is ekiga softphone
[14:57] <allu1> unop:now i downloaded pagace but i don't know where it is how do i found it?
[14:57] <Stargazers^> Pelo: Well, so there is no any MSN clients in Ubuntu that can handle callings to MSN clients? :/
[14:57] <Pelo> genius, just open a terminal and type the name of the app
[14:57] <DooMRunneR> hi, i have a "small" awk question: i got this output (http://rafb.net/p/IRngop55.htm) from a script on stdout, no i want to edit this output with awk that awk inserts a /n after every 10 fields, anyone an idea?
[14:58] <DjVMint> Stargazers^: you need the telepathy-butterfly pkg
[14:58] <Stargazers^> Ok, have to test it,
[14:58] <genius> thats what I thought but it didnt start. If it is a green box in synaptic that means it is already installed right?
[14:58] <emorris> Stargazers^: I don't think many do right now, but i know some 3rd party people are working on it for pidgin
[14:58] <Pelo> Stargazers^, I honestly don'T do voip and instant msg stuff,  so I can'T ell you ,  pidgin and amsn can both connect to the msn network,  maybe pidgin has the voip stuff you want
[14:59] <Stargazers^> Well, in pidgin there is no voip.
[14:59] <Overand> I'm on ubuntu 7.10 and trying to get the bckports to work - i'm looking for a newer version of pidgin, but I'm not finding it.
[14:59] <Stargazers^> As far as I know.
[14:59] <Stargazers^> emorris: Oh?
[14:59] <unop> allu1, use find perhaps.  find ~/ -iname "*keyword*"
[14:59] <Pici> GuySoft: Yes, I meant something that displayed the updated packages in a tooltip. I'm familiar with the notification daemon and other apps that have those tooltips
[14:59] <Gnea> genius: yes
[14:59] <Pelo> genius, what's the name of the app ? and please use my njick in each reply to me so I get highlighted
[14:59] <damien> where would i go to get nvidia 8600gt drivers for ubuntu??
[14:59] <Stargazers^> Rrright.
[14:59] <genius> pelo thats what I thought but it didnt start. If it is a green box in synaptic that means it is already installed right?
[14:59] <Gnea> !nvidia | damien
[14:59] <Pelo> damien, use envyng-gtk , let that install the driver
[14:59] <dorgan> hello all
[14:59] <relinker> i am running ubuntu haardy on my thinkpad r52 and everytime I play a flash movie my laptop overheats and shuts down. Can some one help?
[14:59] <genius> pelo docbook
[15:00] <erUSUL> genius: alt + F2 brings a execute dialog and you can lounch binaries from command line
[15:00] <Pelo> genius, the greenbox means it is installed yes, let me chec what this app is about

[15:01] <genius> erusul thanks
[15:01] <Pelo> genius, it just helps in a busy channel, I think this is very much a command line tool,  you won'T get a gui for it by typing the name in the terminal,    type man docbook to get the manual page,  this will tell you how to use the docbook command
[15:01] <Gnea> relinker: have you checked the fans in the laptop? they may need to be replaced.
[15:01] <genius> ubottu thank you too
[15:01] <emorris> Stargazers^: i think the pidgin developers are aiming to get it in for 3.0
[15:01] <emorris> http://developer.pidgin.im/roadmap
[15:01] <Abracadabra> and what is the command to change shells ? or get info on shells ?
[15:02] <Gnea> Abracadabra: chsh
[15:02] <Blueface> My mouse is lagging in games without reason. The games themselves run fine.
[15:02] <Pelo> genius, ubottu is a bot no need to thank it
[15:02] <Pelo> !botsnack

[15:02] <_Lucretia_> my xchat window gets corrupted when I switch desktops (sometimes), is this an X config option problem?
[15:02] <relinker> Gnea: Yes - my fans are fine I opened and checked. Also cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan shows the speed and is set to auto
[15:02] <genius> pelo wow dont I feel stupid now:(
[15:02] <Gnea> relinker: is there a way to increase or keep constant the speed of the fan?
[15:03] <Stargazers^> emorris: Ok. Thank you.
[15:03] <relinker> On the average on a normal day the fans speed is about 3700
[15:03] <Gnea> genius: don't let it bother ya :)
[15:03] <beam> erUSUL: After installing Apache on to my computer, does it function like a web server?
[15:03] <bullgard4> http://packages.ubuntu.com for 'thinkpad-acpi' reports "no result" for Hardy but 'Saerch for files' finds '30-keymap-module-thinkpad-acpi.fdi. Why does  http://packages.ubuntu.com fail?
[15:04] <erUSUL> beam: yes... try contacting localhost with a web browser
[15:04] <Gnea> bullgard4: try opening a terminal and:  apt-cache search thinkpad
[15:04] <Pelo> genius it's just the learning curve, you'll get used to the environnement and won't think about it anymore
[15:04] <Stargazers^> But well, have to go. Thanks for help.
[15:04] <Stargazers^> o/
[15:04] <relinker> Gnea: There are a set of registers I can "tee" with specific values to control fan speed. But I would rather not. Is there aany other solution?

[15:05] <Username> beyler ubuntunun hangi sürüöünü indireyim
[15:05] <emorris> !lamp |beam
[15:05] <Gnea> xnixmt: the application would have to have some sort of window drawn around it while in the GUI, so no
[15:05] <beam> srUSUL: ok i will
[15:05] <genius> pelo before I forget what you told let me go check it out I'll talk to you later and thanks for your help
[15:05] <emorris>  is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup?

[15:08] <Altreus-work> Question: how come the default .bashrc in Ubuntu sets PS1 to fancy colours only if TERM is xterm-color, and yet Ubuntu's default terminal, which is colour-compatible, sets TERM to xterm?
[15:09] <beam> emorris: Ok but what im saying is, after apache is installed on to my computer, does become like a web server or something?
[15:09] <emorris> yes
[15:09] <Altreus-work> And, how do I get gnome-terminal to set TERM to xterm-color
[15:09] <emorris> beam: apache is a web server
[15:10] <beam> emorris: i would like to publish HTML documents on the web, can i do that after apache is installed? And will i become my own host if i have apache on my PC?

[15:11] <piton> непонятно ))))   bay
[15:11] <Blueface> My mouse is lagging in quake-based games when clicking a lot in a short time. Does anyone know about it?
[15:11] <bullgard4> Gnea: '~$ apt-cache search thinkpad' doesn't find it either.
[15:12] <vladdY> Can Ubuntu desktop be configured as RAID1?
[15:12] <relinker> i want to configure dynamic scaling on my machine. Can some one help?
[15:12] <Gnea> relinker: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/
[15:12] <emorris> beam: well you can put them in /var/www, replacing index.htm(l) with your start page. to allow others to acces them, you will need to buy a domain name, and, if you have a dynamic ip address, a dyndns account
[15:12] <Gnea> !raid | vladdY
[15:12] <Altreus-work> no?
[15:12] <relinker> Gnea: Thanks a ton. Reading.....
[15:13] <emorris> beam: it would be easier to buy/get a free web hosting plan online and upload your files to it
[15:14] <beam> emorris: that is true. But im trying to figure it out myself, and bbecome my own host, and just pay for a .com or a .net
[15:14] <td123> does anyone know why ubuntu hasn't recieved updates in a while?
[15:15] <Blueface> td123: Is update-notifier running?
[15:15] <perillux> how can I run a terminal command that is independant of the terminal?  example: so I can type "gedit" and then close the terminal but gedit is still open.
[15:15] <_Zeus_> td123: no security vulnerabilities?
[15:15] <_Zeus_> perillux: type "gedit x.txt&"
[15:15] <_Lucretia_> my xchat window gets corrupted when I switch desktops (sometimes), is this an X config option problem?
[15:15] <amenado> perillux-> what are you trying to accomplish?
[15:16] <Slart> perillux: use &, and quit the terminal by typing "exit".. not just closing the window
[15:16] <perillux> _Zeus_: that's what everyone tells me, but it doesn't work for me
[15:16] <perillux> Slart: ok I'll try that
[15:16] <xnixmt> Gnea: sorry, I just wanted the task-switcher to switch between applications rather than windows....I.E if pidgin has multiple windows open, can I just have one item for pidgin in the task-switcher
[15:16] <Altreus-work> "The focus in the window shuold be on the output of commands, not on the prompt" <- which idiot wrote this?
[15:16] <_Zeus_> perillux: or press Ctrl+D
[15:16] <xnixmt> Gnea: like a different task switcher that has a different behavior on how it handles windows/applications
[15:16] <perillux> Slart: ok that did it thanks!!  I was clicking the close button, and that would cause gedit to close with it
[15:16] <Altreus-work> How am I meant to focus on the output of a command if I can't find the prompt where I typed it?
[15:16] <Slart> Altreus-work: well.. where did you find it?
[15:17] <Altreus-work> Slart: in .bashrc
[15:17] <perillux> amenado: _Zeus_: Slart: got it.  thanx :)
[15:17] <_Zeus_> perillux: cool
[15:17] <eQ> what is the difference between gDesklets and aDesklets?
[15:17] <emorris> beam: fair enough, if you have a static ip address and you are connected straight to the internet, then it's as easy as buying a domain name and pointing it to your ip address.
[15:17] <Altreus-work> It advocates having a prompt that's invisible in the wall of text you get from commands
[15:18] <beam> emorris: ok thanks
[15:18] <eQ> beam you would still probably need to get reverse dns permission from your isp
[15:18] <Rohs> Im trying to get android sdk working but all i get is
[15:18] <eQ> which they most likely wont give u
[15:18] <Rohs> Android Editors (0.7.1.v200808141910-98467) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui".
[15:18] <Slart> Altreus-work: well.. I suppose the output from the commands is what you're normally interested in.. not where the cursor might be at the moment
[15:18] <perillux> amenado: _Zeus_: Slart: another question.  Is there a way to make a program switch it's terminal 'dependency'? So like say I'm getting output from a program in a certain terminal, can I open another terminal and make that app sort of switch to the other one without having to restart it?
[15:18] <amenado> eQ then how'd he get around that?
[15:18] <eQ> u dont get around that
[15:18] <beam> eQ: and how do i do that?
[15:19] <Altreus-work> Slart: But I'm actually interested in where the output *starts*
[15:19] <eQ> u can point a domain to your ip address through an a record
[15:19] <Altreus-work> Which is at the big bright blue hostname somewhere up there
[15:19] <emorris>  is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup?
[15:19] <Slart> perillux: hmm.. not sure if there is a command to do that.. but try running "screen".. it's useful in so many ways
[15:19] <eQ> u will have to use an open nameserver like dnsexit.com
[15:19] <amenado> perillux-> you can not once the process is started
[15:19] <eQ> or u can use dynamic ip sites that forward to your dynamic ip
[15:19] <Slart> Altreus-work: but the prompt will be where any text you type will end up
[15:19] <eQ> no matter what u cant be your own host without reverse dns
[15:19] <Slart> Altreus-work: or are we talking about the same thing?
[15:19] <perillux> amenado: ok thanx
[15:19] <eQ> and i doubt he will run a nameserver from home
[15:19] <SeaPhor> amenado, if i wanted to run a script, a program at start-up, would i add that to the rc.local file?
[15:19] <Altreus-work> Slart: yes... but I want a coloured prompt to find the *previous* prompt
[15:20] <eQ> it just doesnt work like that unless u have a decent connection and reverse dns
[15:20] <amenado> SeaPhor-> thats one way
[15:20] <Slart> Altreus-work: ah.. I see what you mean
[15:20] <Altreus-work> Slart: e.g. apt-cache search apache
[15:20] <wickk> Whenever I go to watch a dvd in VLC it opens opens up like its going to play and then it minimizes the player and wont allow me to eject the disc after that. Anyone know why?
[15:20] <bullgard4> Pici: I wrote an e-mail to the site's maintainer as you suggested.
[15:20] <Altreus-work> I guess piping it to less is one way
[15:20] <eQ> QUESTION: what is the difference between gDesklets and aDesklets?
[15:20] <amenado> eQ so how does one gets around that reverse dns?
[15:20] <Altreus-work> but sometimes I expect less output than I get
[15:21] <eQ> they dont get around it
[15:21] <Altreus-work> also, pipe to less doesn't catch stderr
[15:21] <Slart> Altreus-work: it doesn't really bother me usually.. I think I do a "clear" if I find I'm getting lost
[15:21] <SeaPhor> amenado, thats the only way i could think of, is there a better way?
[15:21] <Altreus-work> I find that in gnome-terminal, clear merely scrolls down a long way
[15:21] <GleepGlop> how do I add extent flag to a file ?
[15:21] <eQ> Altreus-work, that's cuz it hopes the text will be out your buffer by then
[15:21] <eQ> type it a few more times and it will
[15:21] <unop> Altreus-work, it's the same for a lot of terminal emulatorys
[15:21] <unop> s/y//
[15:22] <GleepGlop> !extent
[15:22] <eQ> u can change your buffer to a lesser amount of lines
[15:22] <eQ> !sex
[15:22] <eQ> oops
[15:22] <amenado> SeaPhor-> add to an existing script in /etc/init.d perhaps
[15:22]  * unop thinks he has a one-track mind.
[15:22] <SeaPhor> ok, thanx again amenado
[15:22] <amenado> SeaPhor-> you're welcome
[15:23] <Altreus-work> yea but it ain't
[15:23] <relinker> Gnea: read the doc. I get a "permission denied" when I try to echo "ondemand" into scaling_governor. Yes I have setbit on cpufreq as the doc suggested. What could be wrong?
[15:23] <Altreus-work> In fact I'd probably only use clear in that situation where I want it out of the buffer but it won't go
[15:23] <daan_> When I try to start winecfg using the terminal I get an error, it says "fixme:reg:enumerate_key Information class 4 not implemented" anybody knows what's causing this?
[15:23] <MikeB2> Hi everyone I hope you all are having a good day.  Im trying to install ubuntu and it has been sluggish but im at 95% and the process is checking for packages to remove, it has been nearly 30 minutes, is this typical?
[15:23] <Gnea> relinker: are you root?
[15:23] <eQ> MikeB2, what kind of processor and ho wmuch ram?
[15:24] <daan_> MikeB2: depends on your computer
[15:24] <JPearce> QUESTION: is anybody here who owns Attansic L1 lan card on motherboard? It doesnt work at ubuntu and I try to check this for a long time..
[15:24] <MikeB2> pentium 4 3.0 /ht and 3 GB ir ram
[15:24] <MikeB2> *of
[15:24] <eQ> MikeB2, did you check your cd for errors?
[15:24] <MikeB2> yes, its a shipped cd from the developers, not an iso
[15:24] <daan_> you could try using the iso from the ubuntu website
[15:25] <relinker> Gea: I prefixed the echo > with a sudo. Is that not enough to become root?
[15:25] <daan_> or just be a little more patient ;)
[15:25] <MikeB2> well the install has taken over 3 hours so far, im not going to interrupt it, just wondering if this is a typical issue
[15:25] <GleepGlop> iscsi extent flags anyone?
[15:25] <xukun> Hi all. I got a new system with raid controller. I want to install ubuntu 64 bits. I got the cd but don't know where to start
[15:25] <Gnea> relinker: yeah, that should do it... check the permissions of the file and the directories it's in
[15:25] <daan_> is it a clean install or a dual boot?
[15:25] <unop> relinker, that wouldn't work .. try.   echo blah | sudo tee /path/to/file
[15:26] <MikeB2> dual boot
[15:26] <eQ> Mike i'd advise u get the iso
[15:26] <unop> relinker, or tee -a  if you want to append to the file
[15:26] <daan_> with? XP or vista?
[15:26] <eQ> and check md5 sums
[15:26] <MikeB2> xp sp 2
[15:26] <eQ> cds can get scratched u know
[15:26] <Overand> xukun: what sort of raid controller?
[15:26] <daan_> on 1 HD?
[15:26] <MikeB2> yea a 500gb sata
[15:26] <bytor4232> I had a CD-RW drive that ate CDs.
[15:26] <relinker> OK. The perms on the scaling_governor is 444
[15:27] <jst33zey> lol
[15:27] <daan_> hmm might be the fact that there's another OS on the HD.. I think just being patient will do the job
[15:27] <MikeB2> should i burn the 8.04 iso? someone told me gutsy is a little more tolerant to hardware and is easier to install
[15:27] <JPearce> mm, once again.. Is anybody here who owns Attansic L1 on motherboard? I just can get it works at ubuntu for a two weeks.. =(
[15:27] <MikeB2> ty daan
[15:27] <daan_> Hardy gave me no problems whatsoever
[15:27] <xukun> Overand, sorry I don't know. It is a dell optiplex 755 system
[15:27] <unop> relinker,  sudo echo blah > file  # will fail miserably
[15:27] <relinker> Oh  OK.
[15:27] <eQ> Mike get 8.04
[15:27] <unop> relinker, see my last post to you.
[15:27] <eQ> its WAY better than gutsy
[15:27] <eQ> especially in dealing with ntfs drives
[15:27] <relinker> unop:I just saw that thanks
[15:27] <Gnea> xukun: this is probably the best place to start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=790485

[15:28] <relinker> unop:centrino
[15:28] <Overand> xukun: you'll want to look into the 'fakeraid' stuff- or you may want to skip using RAID at all.  take a peek at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[15:28] <unop> relinker, well, that depends on what you want the file to do

[15:29] <Slart> relinker: ok.. never had to setup anything for frequency scaling to work.. odd
[15:29] <relinker> I want to store the cpu dynamic scaling governor
[15:29] <relinker> unop:I want to store the cpu dynamic scaling governor
[15:29] <MikeB2> alright im gonna burn a new copy of the iso then, its been at 95% for a half hour now...
[15:29] <MikeB2> ty for help, bbl

[15:29] <relinker> slart: are you running powernowd?
[15:29] <skoruppa> hi :)
[15:30] <xukun> Overand, thanks a lot
[15:30] <Slart> relinker: yes
[15:30] <unop> relinker, well, 444 does fine if all you want is to be able to read from the file

[15:31] <relinker> Slart: hence issue
[15:31] <hardik123> hey hi
[15:31] <Slart> relinker: ah.. any advantage to using cpudynd ?
[15:31] <unop> relinker, keep 444 if all you are doing is changing something inside the file.
[15:31] <hardik123> how to configure roundcube-webmail ?

[15:38] <millertime_018> How come i can't hear any sound from my media player whenever i run firefox? it's like if i start one up first the other won't play sounds...
[15:38] <millertime_018> can anyone help me?
[15:39] <wols_> relinker: those are virtual fs. you can't delete them. would be pointless too
[15:39] <wols_> relinker: depending on file you can edit it tho
[15:39] <wols_> but as soon as you reboot those cahnges are gone
[15:39] <JPearce> Lamba: =)
[15:39] <relinker> wols_: i know :(
[15:40] <wols_> relinker: what do you want to do?
[15:40] <unop> relinker, could explain why  echo blah > file  is unsuccessful
[15:40] <wols_> e.g. /sys files can often be permanently changed via sysctl
[15:40] <mrlantat> Hey, I have Ubuntu 64 bit. How Can I install a 32bit application with the 32bit dependencies?
[15:40] <millertime_018> hey when i start one of either firefox or the media player i can't hear sound from the other.
[15:40] <fauzie> millertime: thats weird though .... what is the other player?
[15:40] <relinker> Doing that
[15:40] <millertime_018> like i'll start firefox and then start media player
[15:40] <wols_> mrlantat: install a 32bit chroot. or try if you can get by with ia32libs
[15:41] <relinker> OK I want to change the default scaling governor from powersave to ondemand
[15:41] <millertime_018> and firefox will play sound but media player won't
[15:41] <Valentine> where is ubotta and other helpers
[15:41] <wols_> !winmodem | Valentine
[15:41] <millertime_018> fauzie: the media player is rythmbox
[15:41] <mrlantat> wols_, How?
[15:41] <wols_> Valentine: not all winmodems have drivers. also check google for your chip
[15:41] <relinker> unop: For that the recco method is to echo "ondemand" into the /sys file
[15:41] <wols_> mrlantat: deboostrap
[15:41] <wols_> !schroot
[15:41] <JPearce> attastic L1 lan card at ubuntu, does anyobody know how to get it work?

[15:42] <Valentine> when i typed lspci in terminal it showed many divices including my modem in list (02:01.0 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem (rev 01))
[15:42] <wols_> JPearce: what kernel version?
[15:42] <renato__> hi, it is clear to me, somebody managed to break in my ubuntu server. I managed to boot it up again by replacing everything in /bin /usr bin with original files from a distribution cv. if I want to do a root cause analysis to find out where the break in  came from, what should I look into?
[15:42] <relinker> wols_: have i explained myself?
[15:42] <wols_> renato__: webserver? php?
[15:42] <wols_> renato__: ssh with weak key?
[15:43] <lazgo> oh hai
[15:43] <mrlantat> wols_: How does that help me? It looks like it is a package making program.
[15:43] <Adakos> Anyone have experience with postfix/courier or any mail server?
[15:43] <wols_> Valentine: i already told you
[15:43] <wols_> mrlantat: no it's an installer. installs ubuntu
[15:43] <renato__> ssh with weak key? I do not understand that
[15:43] <wols_> !ask | Adakos
[15:43] <lazgo> i have little problem with ubuntu, when i start it and watch videos in internet there is sound only for i nternet, and players doesnt work, if i start players firs, then there is no sound for internet videos, what is the problem..?
[15:43] <Adakos> thanks ubottu/wols_
[15:43] <Valentine> @wols what kind of chip?
[15:43] <wols_> renato__: sshd in ubuntu was vulnerable since it had bad keys generated
[15:44] <relinker> unop: is my intention clear - have i explained my problem?
[15:44] <wols_> Valentine: the one lspci shows
[15:44] <casper__> noc.atqa.org 42338
[15:44] <renato__> how did they solve it?
[15:44] <wols_> renato__: via update of ubuntu
[15:44] <tommc> millertime:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889684&highlight=firefox+plays+sound+rhythmbox+won%27t
[15:44] <JPearce> wols_: my version 2.6.24-16 and lan card attastic L1
[15:44] <renato__> is there a patch? I had applied all security patches, the break in happened after august 8th
[15:44] <Valentine> @wols now i need to search driver for linux for that chip?
[15:44] <Gnea> !postfix | Adakos
[15:45] <wols_> JPearce: ubuntu already has that driver or should have. atl1
[15:45] <wols_> Valentine: by reading what ubottu told you and google
[15:45] <lazgo> great
[15:45] <Adakos> I installed postfix/courier. I can telnet in and send/receive mail locally, but I cannot receive/send mail to anyone NOT on this system (gmail, etc) - I need help! (i have opened ports 25,110,143 for the server) and followed the guide on help.ubuntu.com/community/postfixbasicsetuphowto
[15:46] <Valentine> @wols u mean i should see all setup tutorials by that i checked that already but i am a simple user i dont understand them
[15:46] <JPearce> wols_: yes I know, atl1, but it doesnt work
[15:46] <wols_> Adakos: try to send a mail then check mail.log and mail.err
[15:46] <wols_> !doesn't work | JPearce
[15:46] <Adakos> @ wols_ will do.
[15:47] <jrmint> what do i use to make an installer? nullsoft or something?
[15:47] <RequinB4> !deb
[15:47] <wols_> jrmint: installer for what?
[15:47]  * Gnea looks oddly at jrmint
[15:48] <jrmint> wrong forum sorry
[15:48] <Adakos> @wols_ it wants to access my mysql database, but the server guide had nothing about mysql in it! eep. I need to fix that
[15:48] <wols_> !info maint-guide
[15:49] <wols_> jrmint: install and read that maint-guide
[15:49] <wols_> Adakos: borked main.cf
[15:49] <Gnea> jrmint: well, do you want to make a package for ubuntu or just a general installation script?
[15:49] <Adakos> @wols_ : Roger. im attempting to clean it up
[15:49] <renato__> how do I disable the sudo "concept" so that an user cannot make himself superuser by just knowing his own passwd?
[15:50] <Gnea> renato__: visudo   add others but leave him out
[15:51] <wizkoder> hy everybody
[15:51] <emorris> renato__: take him off of "administer the system"
[15:51] <phire42> Ubuntu 8.04 - wireless Netgear wg111. Works out of the box, but 5 seconds after crashes. Any thoughts?
[15:51] <wizkoder> I have problems with samba. I can connect via smbclient but not via fstab
[15:52] <wizkoder> smbclient //ramones/www -U web-user   <---- works
[15:52] <Valentine> @wols kill you thank you haha
[15:52] <JohnSourcer> I'm back
[15:52] <JohnSourcer> how do I get back to the desktop after cntrl-alt-f2
[15:52] <wizkoder> sudo smbmount //ramones/www /home/markus/ramones/ -o username=web-user,password=pw,domain=unsere_wg   <---- Does not?
[15:52] <wols_> Valentine: huh?
[15:52] <prince_jammys> renato__: a user can't make himself superuser unless he's in the sudoers file, or belongs to a group mentioned in the sudoers file, which in Ubuntu is the group 'admin' by default
[15:53] <kane77> JohnSourcer, ctrl+alt+f7
[15:53] <vladdY> this must be most retarded question ever but how do i scroll up & down in ubuntu server terminal
[15:53] <Adakos> @wols_: I'm in the main.cf file here in /etc/postfix and i cant find references to the mysql database it's trying to call - or any mysql databases  O.o
[15:53] <cannonball> I just made a DVD iso image using DeVeDe.  Before I burn it to a actual disc, is there some app I can use to "play" the iso as if it were a real dvd?  I thought that gmplayer would do it, but it is freaking out about it.
[15:53] <JohnSourcer> thanks
[15:53] <kane77> vladdY, ctrl+pgup or ctrl+pgdown
[15:54] <yeniklasorr> How can I recover my corrupted ext3 partition?
[15:54] <renato__> there is a difference, I want to be able to make myself superuser by using su annd the root password, what I want to prevent is that an user can make himself root by just knowing his own password
[15:54] <vladdY> kane77: thanks
[15:54] <kane77> cannonball, smplayer does play iso.. or you can just create the folder and then some of the players play it
[15:54] <JohnSourcer> kane77: really dumb question
[15:54] <JohnSourcer> I have an 80gb drive and a 1tb drive
[15:54] <phire42> Ubuntu 8.04 - wireless Netgear wg111. Works out of the box, but 5 seconds after crashes. Any thoughts?
[15:55] <JohnSourcer> I wanted to backup to the tb using rsync
[15:55] <JohnSourcer> does Ubuntu automatically use the other drive
[15:55] <phire42> It connects, it pulls an IP it's online, then all of the bars go away, and it's offline.
[15:55] <dfgas> how do i get rid of the switch user thing when password is up?
[15:55] <mtraker> hi

[15:57] <mtraker> I wnat to know what it's the router ip? in DOS when i use dhcp when i write ifconfig /all i know that.But in linux when i use ifconfig i know only my ip and netmask, but i wnt the gateway
[15:57] <mtraker> is it posible?
[15:57] <cannonball> mtraker: ip route   or  route -n
[15:57] <ERIC_H> using wpa_gui with wpa_supplicant.conf and I've connected to my router but dont have an IP and cant access internet
[15:57] <EugenMayer> what could bethe reason, if i use the kernel-package way to build an upstream kenrel, that the arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu is missing in the kernel headers, but is inlcuded in hte sources ?
[15:58] <wols_> mtraker: route
[15:58] <hitman1985> how to uninstall google earth ? :-)
[15:58] <cannonball> mtraker: the first command gives it to you in a format that some like, the second command gives it to you in a format that others like.  You can pick which one you like.
[15:58] <wols_> hitman1985: with apt-get remove when you installed it the ubuntu way
[15:58] <cannonball> hitman1985: Send an email to Vladimir Putin and tell him Bush said he was a girl.
[15:59] <Adakos> i tried to install postfix/mysql/php packages earlier and  i think i messe dup pretty bad, if  I wanted to keep my apache server running and remove completely mysql and all my databases, whats the easiest wya to do that? just do a $ sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql ?
[15:59] <wols_> Adakos: purge mysql-common instead
[15:59] <cannonball> hitman1985: seriously though, I didn't know you could install Google Earth on linux.  I haven't followed it very closely.
[15:59] <wols_> and check for any leftover mysql directories especially /var

[16:02] <Ejlan> i can't even make the call

[16:03] <wols_> pedram: ##windows
[16:03] <pedram> no ubuntu
[16:03] <wols_> pedram: you said XP
[16:03] <Slart> Ejlan: skype uses plain alsa, it doesn't do pulseaudio.. so there might be some conflict
[16:03] <Ejlan> okay
[16:03] <pedram> no in ubuntu
[16:03] <tommc> gfather: google should help
[16:03] <converse> hai..........
[16:03] <tommc> depends where you are
[16:04] <shah1> wols_: so where's the best place for the solution #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[16:04] <Bodsda> gfather, http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/emea/segments/gen/client/en/ubuntu_landing?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs

[16:04] <hitman1985> i got all the sound on alsa
[16:04] <wols_> shah1: possible. also #networking. but not here
[16:04] <hitman1985> and it says that with the audio playback issue :(
[16:04] <Ejlan> i only have some nvidia drivers to choose between
[16:04] <Ejlan> in the optins

[16:06] <gonzaloaf_laptop> hi, is there way to force nm-applet to re-search for wireless networks? instead waiting it for searching?
[16:07] <Bodsda> gonzaloaf_laptop, right click on the icon, disable wireless, then re enable it
[16:07] <third3ye> wols_: It says mach64 apparently
[16:07] <third3ye> wols_: I've tried fglrx, ati, mach64
[16:07] <third3ye> Yet nothing seems to work
[16:07] <wols_> third3ye: ati is the one usually
[16:07] <wols_> certainly not fglrx
[16:07] <wols_> third3ye: check your Xorg.log
[16:07] <third3ye> ^^;;
[16:07] <third3ye> Had to try it
[16:08] <gonzaloaf_laptop> Bodsda, ooh thanks, nice trick
[16:08] <third3ye> I'm thinking I have to manually edit the xorg.config file rather than relying on configuration applications
[16:08] <third3ye> Problem is I suck at that :D
[16:08] <Bodsda> gonzaloaf_laptop, your welcome

[16:09] <user881> every time i enable nvidia drivers its a nightmare to recover when it sets the resolution to a handful of pixels. could someone please talk me through it in a pm?
[16:09] <Slart> ed0n0n: in system, preferences, keyboard, layouts, layout options
[16:09] <ed0n0n> Slart: I found till that point, but after that, wich is the option I need?
[16:10] <ed0n0n> Alt / win Behaviour > Many options there
[16:10] <Slart> ed0n0n: oh.. I have no idea.. I've never quite understood all these meta, compose, third level keys
[16:10] <third3ye> So X is running on vesa apparently
[16:10] <third3ye> Theres no driver mentioned in xorg.config
[16:11] <ed0n0n> Slart: gonna have to try one by one.... :(
[16:12] <Slart> ed0n0n: unless you find some info on it.. have you tried the "Help" button?
[16:12] <ed0n0n> Slart: You mean the Gnome help?
[16:12] <Slart> ed0n0n: yes
[16:12] <ed0n0n> loading....
[16:12] <Slart> ed0n0n: on that settings page.. there's a help button
[16:12] <ed0n0n> I pressed it: still loading...
[16:13] <fauzie> I can't get recording to work even though I can get the sound to go through from the mic to the speakers
[16:13] <ed0n0n> Slart: describes what it is for, but nothing about the options
[16:13] <third3ye> Is it just me or does displayconfig-gtk do diddlysquat?
[16:14] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to set up the philips keychain digital camera in order to use it as a webcam?

[16:15] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to set up the philips keychain digital camera in order to use it as a webcam?
[16:15] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to set up the philips keychain digital camera in order to use it as a webcam?

[16:16] <macafe> Bodsda, The problem is install Ubuntu and do Upgrade of many MB
[16:16] <macafe> :(
[16:16] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to set up the philips keychain digital camera in order to use it as a webcam?
[16:16] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to set up the philips keychain digital camera in order to use it as a webcam?
[16:16] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to set up the philips keychain digital camera in order to use it as a webcam?
[16:16] <FloodBot1> gam3r111: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:16] <Slart> gam3r111: oh.. come on.. go away already
[16:16] <TJ-Linux> heh
[16:16] <bazhang> gam3r111, dont repeat so often
[16:16] <gam3r111> slart: i need help
[16:17] <cppmonkey> Ubuntu8.04 x86 64, unable to login after fresh install. tried recover once and reset the password, still now working. Im back on the recover login at the moment, ive run passwd and changed the password is there anything I should do before restarting it?
[16:17] <Bodsda> macafe, its not many updates, you do the first one thats a few hundred mb (300) then the rest is like 50mb every few days -> a week
[16:17] <Slart> gam3r111: yes.. so I noticed.. 6 times in less than 30 seconds
[16:17] <gam3r111> bazhang: i need help
[16:17] <talcite> gam3r111: yeah, but if no one here knows how to help you, repeating it every 3 seconds won't give you any answers either
[16:17] <bazhang> gam3r111, you cant repeat that often
[16:17] <junaid> i write a dvd using apton cd but error show when cdrom add the error is E: Cannot find filename or size tag
[16:17] <TJ-Linux> I've messed up my Ubuntu settings a little bit too much trying to get my dual monitor setup to work I think and want to try to reinstall... If I keep my /home partition, what exactly will be preserved -- settings for installed applications, but not the applications themselves or Ubuntu settings?
[16:18] <elgoog> Hi, can someone explain 'keyring' concept!
[16:18] <Slart> TJ-Linux: I think /home has all your personal settings.. bookmarks in firefox and so on.. /etc is more for system wide settings.. dns, networking, hard drives etc
[16:18] <gonzaloaf_laptop> hi, is there a way to install amsn with audio call support on ubuntu? I'm looking for gstreamer-farsight 0.12.9
[16:18] <Diabolus> On the latest version of Ubuntu, i recently downloaded, everything is working fine except for the internet. I can't seem to get the settings right for it to work. i go system -> admin -> network. then setup a wired static ip address which i know is right due to this windows working fine, DNS is entered, am i missing something? everything is ticked and enabled
[16:19] <Slart> Diabolus: you might have to set a gateway too.. not sure if ubuntu does it for you in some way
[16:19] <phire42> wols - I disable it, and just lose my internet connection entirely. Is there some other settings I need to set up first?
[16:19] <TJ-Linux> ok thanks Slart.
[16:19] <Diabolus> slart: yeh i set the gateway whilst entering the static ip information
[16:19] <Thurston> hey guys, i think im in need of some help
[16:20] <Diabolus> i've tried DHCP, no success ther either
[16:20] <Slart> Diabolus: ah.. ok.. well.. then I can't think of anything else to configure
[16:20] <elgoog> Thurston: temme
[16:20] <Thurston> so long story short, i found out the hard way that ati is a bother with ubuntu, and theyre proprietary driver....sucks.
[16:20] <elgoog> Thurston: and
[16:20] <Adakos> so far so good on the mail front!
[16:20] <Thurston> i found how to install the opensource driver for my ati radeon xpress 200 card, and how to enable 3d acceleration
[16:20] <Valentine1> hi Agere Systems 56k WinModem unable to get drivers for this chip tired any link?
[16:20] <Diabolus> anyway to reset the network from terminal, as in reboot it?
[16:21] <Thurston> i was wondering..... shoul di use the open source drivers, or the proprietary
[16:21] <Slart> Diabolus: you can always try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[16:21] <Thurston> couse with ati's drivers, compiz-fusion with totally F up my pc, and i found this might be becuase ati's drivers are so old
[16:21] <TJ-Linux> if the open source drivers work, but not the proprietary, it seems like you only have one choice?
[16:21] <coonlokht_> server irc.undernet.org
[16:21] <Adakos> Now, im wondering if there is a way to change the host/domain from Name.ISP.net to Name.Registered-Ip.Net (when the Registered-Ip.Net) points to the Ip address already
[16:21] <Thurston> true
[16:21] <Slart> Thurston: depends on what card it is.. older ati cards have really good open source drivers..
[16:21] <Thurston> yeah, thats what im thinking about doing
[16:22] <Thurston> hmmm
[16:22] <Diabolus> right i will try that, thanks for listening
[16:22] <Thurston> yeah. you guys just helped me make up my mind ;) haha
[16:22] <Slart> Thurston: you can try typing !ati in here... for the usual links
[16:22] <Valentine1> @thurstion they are good :)
[16:22] <vaportrail123> does frostwire still exist
[16:22] <Slart> !p2p

[16:24] <ivan_> hi! help me please.. i have ubuntu in english, but i want write in hebrew too. How can i do it?
[16:24] <ERIC_H> why doesn't wpa_supplicant store the passkey on disconnect?
[16:24] <Thurston> frostwire is free, and the exact same as limewire pro
[16:24] <vaportrail123> where do i gets it? had it once, now i cant find it on synaptic
[16:24] <Valentine1> limewire version for ubuntu is available
[16:25] <xhunter> Hello
[16:25] <Thurston> frostwire even searches on the gnutella network
[16:25] <Valentine1> i think at getdeb.net
[16:25] <gfather> i want a 17 inch laptop with ubuntu
[16:25] <IdleOne> !locales | ivan_

[16:25] <MrPiracy> can anyone help me with pulseaudio? i cant set a default audio device
[16:25] <user881> each time i enable nvidia drivers this happens: after booting up in the silly default resolution im unable to rstart the computer gracefully because i cant physically put the mouse on the shutdown button as its off the screen. any ideas?
[16:26] <hitman1985> ok, is there a way to reset sound back to how it came ?
[16:26] <vaportrail123> anyone have experience with hacking ipod touches so they can sync with linux??
[16:26] <PauloRicardo> People, there's a way to swith /bin/sh to bash, install an app and then switch back to dash?
[16:26] <hitman1985> with a command or something
[16:26] <Slart> MrPiracy: how are you trying to do it? have you installed paman, padevchooser, pavucontrol?
[16:26] <gfather> isint there a laptop that has a 17 inch lcd , and ubuntu included
[16:26] <Slart> PauloRicardo: well.. you can run an install script with bash if you want
[16:27] <Slart> PauloRicardo: instead of running ./install.sh you run "bash install.sh"
[16:27] <Neoline> Guys i have ubuntu on a windows partition. Got some doubts about it. Can anyone help?
[16:27] <MrPiracy> Slart, let me check ...
[16:27] <IdleOne> gfather, search on google for laptops with pre-installed ubuntu ( system76 )
[16:27] <vaportrail123> neoline: what do you want ubuntu for?
[16:27] <Adakos> Neoline: ask your question and if we can help , we will :)
[16:27]  * third3ye sighs
[16:27] <gfather> <IdleOne oks
[16:27] <Gnea> Neoline: what doubts?
[16:27] <ivan_> thanks!
[16:28] <vaportrail123> ubuntu= INSANELY versatile : windows=generally name-brand software compatible
[16:28] <PauloRicardo> Slart: Yay, the problem is that this script call many many others... I'm instaling Kylix 3 Open Edition. It use #! /bin/sh in .sh files...
[16:28] <Valentine1> hi Agere Systems 56k WinModem unable to get drivers for this chip tired any link?
[16:28]  * vaportrail123 gasps
[16:28] <MrPiracy> Slart, yes, i have all of them installed, but when i click PA device chooser, it just hangs and then nothing happens
[16:28] <vaportrail123> 56k!?
[16:28] <vaportrail123> they still exist?!
 http://system76.com/index.php they dont have ?
[16:28] <Gnea> vaportrail123: yes. chill.
[16:28]  * vaportrail123 was just trying to be funny...
[16:29] <hitman1985> is there a way to reset all sound related options back to stock ?
[16:29] <Slart> PauloRicardo: ah.. ok, well..you could use "sed" to change all those lines.. or symlink sh to bash.. (I don't know if anything else will blow up when you do that)...
[16:29] <IdleOne> gfather, there are other sites that have ubuntu pre-installed. Dell.com for instance
[16:29] <Pici> vaportrail123: If you just want to chat, #ubuntu-offtopic is available, #ubuntu is for support only.
[16:29] <MrPiracy> Slart, also, i get nothing but erros when i type pulseaudio -C
[16:29] <vaportrail123> fair enough
[16:29] <Slart> MrPiracy: can you pastebin the errors?
[16:29] <Neoline> Thanks Adakos :) well i have it on windows partition, as i said. I want to switch to the default installation i.e. on a proper ext3 partition. But 2 doubts 1. Does doing so be benificial in any way?
[16:29] <vaportrail123> so, anyone have experience with ipod touch + ubuntu?
 cheked it , dont have 17 inch
[16:29] <Gnea> !ipod | vaportrail123
[16:30] <vaportrail123> ooo
[16:30] <MrPiracy> Slart, sure, what's the urs again pls?
[16:30] <vaportrail123> !rockbox
[16:30] <Slart> vaportrail123: newer ipods had some problems with drivers.. but it might have been fixed now
[16:30] <IdleOne> gfather, then buy a 17" and install ubuntu on it check !hardware for compatible laptops
[16:30] <Slart> !paste  | MrPiracy
 :(
[16:30] <vaportrail123> yea, i just got the 2.0
[16:30] <Neoline> and 2. how can i still keep the downloaded softwares?
[16:30] <vaportrail123> and after that, i couldnt jailbreak it
[16:30] <zod> after installing ubuntu  on a desktop the system locks up after login .. any tips ?
[16:30] <vaportrail123> hench the issues
[16:30] <kcman> so is there no way for me to mount a .bin or .cue file in ubuntu?
[16:31] <Adakos> Neoline: Switching will let you 1) get rid of windows, 2) run faster/more efficiently (assuming you are using a load-from-windows version)
[16:31] <MrPiracy> Slart, http://paste.ubuntu.com/38819/
[16:31] <vaportrail123> :( rockbox dont work for ipod touch
[16:31] <Adakos> neoline: to keep your software, you will need to make a partition/get an external Hard drive, backup with cd/dvd any data you dont want lost during the format to ext3
[16:31] <Valentine1> u all people seems to eat micro chips :-s
[16:31] <Neoline> Hahaha.. 1st advantage is coolest! :D well the 2nd one is what i was wanting to hear. :)
[16:32] <Slart> MrPiracy: well.. lots of errors there.. don't know if any of them are fatal though
[16:32] <Slart> MrPiracy: it might be because you already have pulseaudio running though
[16:32] <kcman> what types of emulation are open for ubuntu?
[16:32] <joe_chat> how do u stop kmail notify
[16:32] <tehdave> Valentine1, No, we integrate them into our existing circuitry, as long as they're not a downgrade
[16:32] <Slart> what happens if you run pavucontrol from a terminal?
[16:32] <Gnea> Valentine1: what is the output of scanmodem? can you pastebin it please?
[16:33] <MrPiracy> Slart, I have 3 soundcards installed and i want PA to use my usb ... how can i set this?
[16:33] <Gnea> !patience | Valentine1
[16:33] <Neoline> I'm sorry Adakos, i meant the softwares i have downloaded through add/remove manager, how can i keep those? so that i can have them readily in the new installation on ext3 partition?
[16:33] <Slart> MrPiracy: in pavucontrol.. or pulseaudio will use all your soundcards.. but you can set one of them to be the default for output
[16:33] <Neoline> readily available*
[16:33] <Gnea> !pastebin | Valentine1
[16:34] <Slart> !clone
[16:34] <sandhya_> BCM4312 wireless not working .... anyone help :-(
[16:34] <jess> hey, i'm running a minimal ubuntu 7.10 install.. question. that applet that will tell you what packages are required to install when you try to run a command for a program that isn't installed.... what package provides that? :)
[16:34] <Gnea> !bcm43xx | sandhya_

[16:34] <Adakos> Neoline: what ubottu said on replication
[16:34] <jess> Pici: <3   thanks honey
[16:34] <Valentine1> @gnea i am not at linux my linux modem not working :(( i need solution i ask question from u then go to linux then come again at windows for net :((
[16:35] <sandhya_> tnx ..
[16:35] <sandhya_> I'll check
[16:35] <Gnea> Valentine1: if you are unable to open a web browser and, if necessary, print the page out, then that is not my problem.
[16:36] <kcman> in windows i would just run alcohol 120 but is there anything like that in ubuntu
[16:36] <Slart> !mountiso | kcman
[16:36] <lbt> hi, I'm a longterm linux user and I've got a laptop with XP on it - is there an installer which starts from XP and leaves me with a pure ubuntu install *without* burning a CD
[16:36] <Slart> !wubi | lbt
[16:36] <Gnea> lbt: wubi
[16:37] <kcman> Slart thanks
[16:37] <lbt> I think wubi leaves XP running
[16:37] <lbt> I want to blat it totally
[16:37] <lbt> :)
[16:37] <Slart> lbt: I'm not sure if wubi can do a stand alone install though.. give it a try though.. see if there are any options
[16:37] <lbt> (at least that's what I read on that page)
[16:37] <bazhang> unetbootin
[16:37] <lbt> WTH - OK
[16:37] <Slart> lbt: it's the only windows installer around, afaik
[16:38] <captainm_> lbt: there are other ways of installing ubuntu without burning a cd, nut not from within windows I think
[16:38] <chipbuddy> wheni install things through synaptic (for example nethack), where is that stored? i'm trying to transfer it to an APTonCD CD, but i don't know where to find the package
[16:38] <lbt> (looking at unetbootin - ta bazhang)
[16:39] <Neoline> Ohh! It took a while for me to find that post on replication. Thanks all. :)
[16:39] <sandhya_> Gnea, I still have no luck ....
[16:39] <sandhya_> could not find the driver there
[16:39] <ale22944> Hi all! I've got a big trouble with my wireless card (intel 3945 ABG) running under Hardy. I did all the possible, upgrades of the backports, changes in drivers ecc. but my wlan doesn't connect!! Any idea?
[16:39] <MrPiracy> Slart, :D it works! thx
[16:39] <fujoor> hey people what does <interface> mean?
[16:39] <fujoor> is it my wlan=
[16:40] <Slart> MrPiracy: ah.. nice.. in there you can set the default card.. move "sound" to a different card etc etc
[16:40] <Pici> chipbuddy: The same place that all other downloaded packags go, into /var/cache/apt/archives/    (or at least temporarily)
[16:40] <MrPiracy> Slart, now i have audio from FlashPlugin, but i dont from Second Life ... do u happen to know what the prob mite be?
[16:40] <c0_nano> hi
[16:40] <Slart> MrPiracy: in pavucontrol, do you see a "box" for the sound from second life? if not it might be using just alsa or oss
[16:41] <Seiko> Hello all
[16:41] <Seiko> Nice day
[16:41] <bazhang> http://www.howtoforge.com/unetbootin_windows_ubuntu_fedora lbt
[16:41] <MrPiracy> Slart, alsa must be working since all my other apps are playing audio just fine ... i have changed its configuration files
[16:42] <bazhang> fujoor, could be wlan0 or the like
[16:42] <Slart> MrPiracy: alsa still works even if you run pulseaudio
[16:42] <maek> well NVIDIA have released new drivers but it doesn't fix the 2D problems
[16:42] <Neoline> Guys one more question, is there any way i can have an equalizer for my sound card?
[16:42] <Gnea> sandhya_: oh, you didn't read it then... it tells you how to go about installing the driver and the firmware
[16:43] <maek> you have to do some serious crap to install them though
[16:43] <maek> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_177.67.html
[16:43] <Gnea> !language | maek
[16:43] <maek> Gnea, go jump in a lake
[16:44] <hitman1985> how can i fix the following :
[16:44] <Gnea> maek: be nice.
[16:44] <hitman1985> i just reinstalled skype but it wont write a shortcut to internet anymore :(
[16:44] <maek> Gnea, be nice as well
[16:44] <Slart> hitman1985: you can create your own link if you want
[16:44] <hitman1985> ok how to do so ?
[16:44] <Gnea> maek: oh, I am.
[16:44] <MrPiracy> Slart, hmmmm, it seems that i can only have audio from one app at a time ... totem won't work if i have my FF playing flash
[16:45] <Valentine1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/  is Great :d
[16:45] <MrPiracy> Slart, i'd have to close FF and then launch totem again to have audio
[16:45] <Slart> MrPiracy: that sounds like alsa.. not pulseaudio
[16:45] <maek> Gnea, oh your not .. crap is not a swear word
[16:45] <hitman1985> oh nvm i think i got it :)
[16:45] <Slart> MrPiracy: check system, preferences, sound.. is everything set to use pulseaudio?
[16:45] <Gnea> maek: it is in here.
[16:45] <Valentine1> @maek thats not a polite word
[16:46] <bazhang> !ot
[16:46] <MrPiracy> Slart, it wasn't, but if i set PA and hit TEST, it wont play anything
[16:46] <Gnea> Valentine1: any luck?
[16:46] <Slart> MrPiracy: try it anyway.. set everything to pulseaudio
[16:46] <dfgas> how do i disable switch user?
[16:46] <hitman1985> ok
[16:46] <hitman1985> skype shortcut is back :)
[16:47] <Slart> MrPiracy: I don't know if this needs a reboot or a restart or X..
[16:47] <Gnomie> Could anybody please give me a link to install VMware tools in Ubuntu? Site I got information off of lasttime messed me up. Thanks
[16:47] <c0_nano> hi
[16:47] <hitman1985> but still no luck with the messed up sound
[16:47] <hitman1985> whats the easiest to get all the stuff back to how it came
[16:47] <Valentine1> @gnea nope :( i am looking for Agere System 56K WinModem but dont understand them what they talk :( i am a simple user
[16:47] <hitman1985> ?
[16:47] <MrPiracy> Slart, ok, will reboot just in case ...brb
[16:47] <Gnea> Valentine1: well, it's going to take a bit of time and understanding then :)
[16:48] <vaportrail123> what do i type in terminal to get a list of running progs
[16:48] <Gnea> vaportrail123: ps axf
[16:48] <Slart> vaportrail123: ps -A, top, or htop
[16:48] <vaportrail123> ty
[16:48] <Slart> Gnea: what does axf do?
[16:48] <Neoline> Guys i'm a newbie. I had a UI where i could set an equalizer in windows. Can i have something like that in ubuntu?
[16:49] <genius> does anyone here use jedit?
[16:49] <Valentine1> @Gnea trying :)
[16:49] <Gnea> Slart: man ps
[16:49] <vaportrail123> neo: check synaptic package manager under system: administrator
[16:49] <Gnea> Valentine1: have you used the scanModem utility?
[16:50] <user881> when i click quit it brings up the various options. i want to click shutdown but after installing nvidia drivers there aren't enough pixels to display the final few icons. ive tried changing the resolution but it has no effect. is there a shortcut key to shut down the computer that doesnt require me to click this shutdown icon?
[16:50] <Valentine1> @gnea nope but i have downloaded that i dont know how that will work.
[16:50] <vaportrail123> synaptic package manager is an amazing piece of software which searches the internets for pretty much any kind of software u need and then it downloads and installs it for you. i loves it

[17:09] <MrAbaddon> I need to connect my smartphone for sync
[17:09] <vaportrail123> mrab: it probobly thinks that its replacing a certain thing. like downloading a different type of swf player on top of another one
[17:10] <vaportrail123> synaptic roxxorz
[17:10] <robelliott2125> Yeah, just trying to find some stuffs now though vaportrail123, so this should be fun

[17:29] <renato__> I mean, somebody broke in and disrupted mine after 1 month it was up, I needed to understand if I have sto set myself up to manage this breakout more or less regoularly
[17:29] <Pici> Adakos: Yes.
[17:29] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; sudo chmod 777 should make it read/write/executable to all
[17:30] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, even from a live cd correct?
[17:30] <renato__> I was exposing mail + ftp + web (idle) + sugarcrm
[17:30] <Artesc> What is BPB.
[17:30] <sasi> hi all i have some doubts regarding ubuntu file sys
[17:30] <sasi> can any one help me
[17:30] <Valentine> @gnea hello i did scanmodem and i got some files which one you needed?
[17:30] <captainm_> !ask | sasi
[17:30] <sasi> thank you
[17:31] <Adakos> Should mail.server.name resolve to port 25 of the server machine ultimately for a post/mailx server?
[17:31] <sasi> i cant understand file sys
[17:31] <renato__> I did follow the steps for "the perfect server" on hotoforge, anybody feels like advising me to do something different given the outcome?
[17:31] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; i don't know if the liveCD has any limitations on that. although that command should make it work if no restrictions are put on by the liveCD
[17:31] <captainm_> sasi: what do you mean?
[17:31] <vaportrail123> hello?
[17:31] <abchirk> HELLO!?!?
[17:31] <bradleyprice86> Quick question
[17:32] <frybye> hi - recently I have seen reference to a "super-" key on the keyboard - what is this?
[17:32] <bradleyprice86> I am trying to mount a windows share using smbmount
[17:32] <soldats> frybye: its the window key
[17:32] <Adakos> frybye: windows key / openapple , iirc
[17:32] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; i'm a bit confused as to why you're mounting something in the liveCD for everyone else to be able to read.. normally the liveCD is for an install or test or to fix things
[17:32] <TJ-Linux> alright I need help with grub reinstallation.  I reinstalled Ubuntu preserving my /home and choose not to install the grub boot loader (stupidly forgetting that although grub was already installed in the mbr, I needed the /boot/grub/stage1 reinstalled too).  So how do I reinstall the grub files to my hard drive?
[17:32] <merike> how do you get the list of recently installed/updated packages using adept or command-line?
[17:32] <bradleyprice86> once I mount it, I perform a ls -l and get wierd results
[17:32] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, here is what I am trying to do. recover jpgs from a ntfs HDD and move them to my 2 gig usb stick
[17:33] <F1sher> who can help me with pppoe over wi-fi in linux mint 5?
[17:33] <vaportrail123> who was helpin me with java?
[17:33] <bradleyprice86> ?--------- ? ?     ?         ?                    ?
[17:33] <sasi> i am new to ubuntu i just installed it into my system and i am able to use the desktop but i am a bit confused with the file system can some one help me out on understanding the filesystem?
[17:33] <bazhang> F1sher, mint support
[17:33] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; when you plug in the usb stick it is seen by ubuntu right?
[17:33] <robelliott2125> not me vaportrail123...  Going to trawl through the forums for my problems i think...  Lot of people needing help here :P
[17:33] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, yes
[17:33] <Pici> !mintsupport | F1sher
[17:34] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; you have the ntfs drive mounted?
[17:34] <sasi> captainm_, i am very new to gnu/linux!
[17:34] <jkatana> I am very, very new to *IX, I am dualbooting with vista. In ubuntu, in the file browser under places I see HP and Factory_Image, I might have dragged them on to the desktop on accident, but now there are stored on the desktop, I cannot delete them by pressing delete, is there anyway for me to delete them?
[17:34] <Sobaka> Hello people. I am trying to install my Canon Pixma MP530 under hardy, but it doesn't work at all. It's a combination of printer and scanner device. Under lsusb it doesn't show up and when I connect the device and look in dmesg I see an error. I have pasted this error here: http://www.pastebin.ca/1178770 Can somebody help me to solve this?
[17:34] <vaportrail123> yuk. vista.
[17:34] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, also I am using a 7.10 live cd because 8.04 wont boot
[17:34] <jkatana> I'm running ubuntu 8.04
[17:34] <Adakos> f1sher: this is for ubuntu, ultimately, you should check out the linux mint forums. or as a quick answer, try installing the drivers using the built-in loader, or check hte chipset
[17:34] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, yes it is mounted
[17:34] <F1sher> bazhang, yes mint suppport pppoe but pppoe does not work on asus eee pc 900
[17:35] <Pici> F1sher: But we do not support Mint here.  Go to the channel aformentioned by ubottu.
[17:35] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; in CLI you should be able to simply cd to the directory on your ntfs drive then cp file file  /media/disk
[17:35] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, let me try it again perhaps using sudo and see what happens
[17:36] <archangel7863> what is the name of the package to install the gnome-terminal on right click? I seem to have forgotten
[17:36] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; where is the usb stick mounted? /media/disk/somethinghere?
[17:36] <captainm_> sasi: This should help http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/
[17:36] <lesshaste> how do you deal with a .uif file?
[17:37] <fsufitch> hey guys i'm having a problem with my firefox. it just won't start up. the process is running, there are no error messages or anything, even when run from a shell. i purged it and installed it again, and deleted my .mozilla folder, and still nothing. anyone have any idea?
[17:37] <bu> can anyone tell me how to solve a virtualbox problem
[17:37] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; right, you're not the owner of the ntfs drive while being in the liveCD. sudo should be the answer. i'm guessing you got a permission denied
[17:37] <Adakos> lesshaste: convert it to a usable format , iirc uif is a CD image, find a converstion tool to change it into an iso and then you can mount it or burn it
[17:37] <lesshaste> Adakos, ok... now to find such a tool :0
[17:37] <captainm_> bu: what's the problem?
[17:37] <robelliott2125> fsufitch, try opening console and typing "firefox" this may / not work for you
[17:38] <Adakos> lesshaste: a quick search on the ubuntu forums suggests wine with magic iso installed
[17:38] <bu> help please
[17:38] <fsufitch> robelliott2125, i did try running it like that, but no success
[17:38] <robelliott2125> Someone may advise of something better fsufitch
[17:38] <captainm_> !ask | bu
[17:38] <fsufitch> robelliott2125, ookay
[17:38] <lesshaste> Adakos, aha.. I'll see what i can do
[17:38] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, i am getting a cannot create regular file read-only file system
[17:38] <Adakos> lesshaste: also check out showthread 482960
[17:38] <mneptok> fsufitch: sudo killall firefox && sudo killall firefox-bin && firefox
[17:39] <archangel7863> what is the name of the package to install the gnome-terminal so that it shows on right click? I seem to have forgotten
[17:39] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; okay, back to seeing what the usb stick is mounted as ls -al /media/    what are the permissions of the /disk?
[17:39] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, the usb is /media/disk and the ntfs drive is /media/disk-1
[17:39] <lesshaste> Adakos, is that a link on a ubuntu forum?
[17:40] <Adakos> lesshaste: yes, ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482960
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; the usb appears to be mounted readonly since all you need is read from the ntfs drive
[17:40] <lesshaste> ok thx
[17:40] <IdleOne> dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096
[17:40] <bu> my problem is with virtualbox-ose-modules-generic, i install a new kernel <IP_ADDRESS> and virtualbox tells me to install that package, but it's already installed. I remove it and installed again but problem persists

[17:41] <Sobaka> Hello people. I am trying to install my Canon Pixma MP530 under hardy, but it doesn't work at all. It's a combination of printer and scanner device. Under lsusb it doesn't show up and when I connect the device and look in dmesg I see an error. I have pasted this error here: http://www.pastebin.ca/1178770 Can somebody help me to solve this?
[17:41] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, disk-1 has same permissions
[17:41] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne;sudo chmod +x /media/disk
[17:41] <Adakos> In postconf/on a subnet in linux  --  <IP_ADDRESS>/8 means 1 through 8 as the final octet?
[17:41] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; disk-1 is fine.. all you need to do is read from it. writeis what we need on the disk
[17:42] <mneptok> Sobaka: IME, Canon printers are highly problematic. have you checked the OpenPrinting DB?
[17:42] <co0lingFir3> hello, how can i fix a corrupted avi file in ubuntu?
[17:42] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne; err sudo chmod +w /media/disk
[17:42] <Adakos> co0lingFir3: my suggestion would be to try avidemux
[17:42] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, chmod: changing permissions od '/media/disk': Read-only file system
[17:42] <captainm_> bu: you could try to modprobe the vboxdrv module
[17:42] <mneptok> IdleOne: sounds like the disk was mounted with the ro flag. remount with write enabled.
[17:43] <Adakos> Idle0ne: Install ntfs drivers ?
[17:43] <Adakos> Idle0ne: ntfs-3g iirc.
[17:43] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor, same out put as +x
[17:43] <IdleOne> mneptok, how do i do that?
[17:43] <bu> captainm_, how i do that
[17:43] <co0lingFir3> Adakos, install avidemux and then?
[17:44] <mneptok> IdleOne: mount /dev/hda5 -t ntfs /mnt/d -o rw
[17:44] <captainm_> bu: sudo modprobe vboxdrv
[17:44] <mneptok> IdleOne: (obviously switch the device and mount paths to suit your setup)Z
[17:44] <mneptok> -Z
[17:44] <Adakos> co0lingFire3: There should be a repair avi/transcode options. Worst case scenario just recode it as itself.  If this seems like too much work, try VLC (videolan player) and click 'repair' when it asks
[17:44] <Jopie> is there a way to script Sudo with the password on the command line?
[17:45] <mneptok> Jopie: there is, but it renders your machine highyl insecure. so Don't Do That. ;)
[17:45] <Jopie> well, right now, we don't care :)
[17:45] <bu> captainm_, system says FATAL: module vboxdrv not found
[17:45] <Jopie> mneptok: I'm aware that it's highly unsecure
[17:46] <Sobaka> Mnertok: Yes I did. I have another ubuntu machine with also a Canon Pixma MP530, there I just have to connect it and ubuntu will detect it itself and recommend to use the driver for the 510, which works fine; Also in xsane it will work fine for scanning
[17:46] <captainm_> bu: hmm, that's the only thing I could think of.
[17:46] <mneptok> Jopie: what is it that you are trying to do?
[17:46] <Jopie> mount network drives
[17:46] <mneptok> Jopie: at boot?
[17:46] <Adakos> Jopie: cant you edit fstab?
[17:46] <Jopie> no, with a script that gets clicked
[17:47] <Jopie> these network drives don't always need to be mounted, i.e the user works remote also
[17:47] <RandyboY> I have a sound problem with my new Acer Aspire 5920. No sound at all and no errors (as far as i know). Anyone familiar with this?
[17:47] <Turno> does ibex alpha 4 work in any virtual pc type program?
[17:48] <captainm_> Turno: should work in all of them, I like virtualbox
[17:48] <Jopie> mneptok, Adakos: we're already storing the active directory password in the script, much more insecure in this case
[17:48] <Turno> both desktop and alternate give me kernel panics in virtual box
[17:48] <Turno> virtual pc also fails
[17:48] <Turno> dunno why
[17:48] <Adakos> Jopie: can't help ya, i'd like to but i dont know the answer!
[17:49] <Cahan> I have a server running ubuntu, and I recently changed the PCI USB 1.1 to a PCI USB 2.0 since the network card is USB, and now networking randomly stops working, I can't access my samba share, ssh into the machine or ping it, and the machine itself cannot ping anything either
[17:49] <Pici> Turno: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion.
[17:49] <IdleOne> mneptok, I am having issues here. after unmounting I cannot mount the usb device again
[17:49] <RandyboY> I have a sound problem with my new Acer Aspire 5920. Installed newest Ubuntu and there is no sound at all and no errors (as far as i know). Anyone familiar with this?
[17:49] <Turno> thank you Pici
[17:50] <Jopie> mneptok: how do I script sudo to not ask a password then? I am fully aware of the results of doing so...
[17:50] <johndoe> Godday
[17:50] <unop> Jopie, the sudo manpage talks about -S

[17:53] <ThE^GuY> ive downloaded ubuntu.iso, my dvd writer is messdup. cant install thru cdrom. ive installed it thru windows but now when i try to follow linux from scratch im havin filesystem problem. any suggestion ??????
[17:53] <robelliott2125> bhudzeus when you try using something with Flash, Firefox will suggest the addon, and you just need to click ok and download and install.
[17:53] <bu> problem solved, i download the virtualbox-ose-source a make a installation from source. This happens because there are discrepancies between new kernel versions and the virtualbox-ose-modules
[17:54] <ThE^GuY> ive downloaded ubuntu.iso, my dvd writer is messdup. cant install thru cdrom. ive installed it thru windows but now when i try to follow linux from scratch im havin filesystem problem. any suggestion ??????
[17:54] <mooseman447> im having a problem with low resolution with nvidiia drivers but whenever i reconfigure xorg it only asks about the kernel framebuffer and lots of keyboard nothing about video hardware
[17:55] <threeblaxcatz> thanks for that ubottu Q i can not get network working between xp main computer and ubuntu computer except if i start in safe mode what am i doing wrong
[17:55] <robelliott2125> Anyone know how to find the "Device Manager" within System > Admin, just fully upgraded to Hardy, and i'm unable to find something which can tell me my vid card, so I can find how to config it properly for the res / ref rates.
[17:55] <nerdzyboy> I have a canon optura 20 dv camera connected to my computer via firewire.  I'm trying to capture video in kino and dvgrab but neither of them is able to capture video.  dvgrab stops with error "error: no dv" and kino says "waiting for dv 10 9 8 7 ..." until it reaches 0 and nothing happens.  both kino and dvgrab detect the camera and both of them can use dvc controls (play, pause, fastforward, etc) on the camera.  According to a
[17:55] <nerdzyboy> couple of forums I read I have set the permissions of /dev/raw1394 and /dev/dv1394 to rw for everyone and I also tried to unload the eth1394 module (sudo rmmod eth1394).  Still, I cannot capture any video from my camera...  Could enyone help me figure out how to solve this problem?
[17:55] <Saeen> ive downloaded ubuntu.iso, my dvd writer is messdup. cant install thru cdrom. ive installed it thru windows but now when i try to follow linux from scratch im havin filesystem problem. any suggestion ??????
[17:55] <bastid_raZor> mooseman447; have you tried sudo nvidia-settings   ?
[17:55] <robelliott2125> threeblaxcatz, you may have to setup SAMBA, so you can share files.
[17:55] <nerdzyboy> And I have also added myself to the disk group
[17:55] <RandyboY> I have a sound problem with my new Acer Aspire 5920. Installed newest Ubuntu and there is no sound at all and no errors (as far as i know). Anyone familiar with this?
[17:55] <robelliott2125> Saeen, ask once dude, we can all see your question
[17:56] <Impy^> Hi how do i stop firefox crashing so much with flash?
[17:56] <Saeen> aight sorry i jus cant wait to get started :S
[17:56] <robelliott2125> I would suggest seeing if theres any updates for Firefox Impy^
[17:56] <mooseman447> bastid_razor i need to install the package?
[17:56] <robelliott2125> No worries Saeen
[17:56] <robelliott2125> RandyboY, give me a few, and I'll look to see if i can find anything bud.
[17:57] <robelliott2125> In the meantime RandyboY, post up on ubuntuforums.org - Someone may be able to help in the meantime.
[17:57] <robelliott2125> Saeen, so you've just downloaded the iso, have you tried to mount it within Windows, to install?
[17:57] <frenchy> does anyone know if there is a way to install zsnes on amd64 hardy heron
[17:57] <RandyboY> robelliott2125, thanks and will do :)
[17:58] <Pici> frenchy: it looks like its in the repositories  to me
[17:58] <robelliott2125> No worries RandyboY, I will also MSN a friend who works for Acer's Repair Centre, and see if he can suggest anything.
[17:58] <bastid_raZor> mooseman447; how did you install the nvidia-drivers? with the restricted drivers manager?
[17:58] <mooseman447> bastid_razor i installed it but its very hard to use because whenever i click it jumps around which i think is because xorg didnt configure the mouse too
[17:58] <jakarston> phynix
[17:58] <Saeen> ive mounted it and installed it...but to use linux from scratch i need a new drive or folder with the same file system
[17:58] <bu> to make usb work in virtualbox is necessary to modify any other file than /etc/fstab
[17:58] <Impy^> there's no updates for it robelliott2125
[17:58] <Saeen> and ntfs isnt supported
[17:58] <mooseman447> bastid_razor yes i just did a clean install and used the manager to enable and then reboot
[17:58] <RandyboY> robelliott2125, great! :-)
[17:58] <robelliott2125> Hmmmm...  Can you not install a new Flash addon Impy^?
[17:58] <Pici> Saeen: Are you using Ubuntu or LFS?
[17:58] <robelliott2125> No worries RandyboY
[17:58] <frenchy> Pici i'm not finding it, also is it a 32 bit version or 64
[17:58] <jakarston> hello,every one
[17:59] <Saeen> im using ubuntu
[17:59] <bastid_raZor> mooseman447; nvidia-settings should have been installed with that. even so set your mouse up correctly.
[17:59] <jakarston> me too
[17:59] <Saeen> and tryen LFS
[17:59] <joeKr> In 8.04, Is there a FAQ for "screen stuck at 800x600" problem (also doesn't ID my plug-and-play CRT).  I'm not too concerned about whether I'm using the nVidia driver or not, just want my desktop back that I had in 7.10.
[17:59] <bastid_raZor> mooseman447; you can use the keyboard to navigate around on that also.
[17:59] <Pici> frenchy: I see it in both repositories
[17:59] <Pici> !info zsnes | frenchy
[17:59] <JohnSourcer> hey all any rsync gurus here
[17:59] <Impy^> what do you mean robelliott2125 ?
[17:59] <ross> i need some help setting up my printer
[17:59] <ross> what do i need to download? CUPS?
[18:00] <frenchy> ubottu that is weird its not showing up in mine, i have multiverse enabled
[18:00] <robelliott2125> Impy^, when you tried to play flash in FF originally, it would have popped up saying "xxx addons found for flash", can you try searching your FF addon's to see if theres another updated version of the flash player?
[18:00] <Pici> frenchy: ubottu is a bot, I initiated that message to you
[18:00] <frenchy> oh hah
[18:00] <Impy^> yeah i've searched for updates nothing there though
[18:00] <mooseman447> bastid_razor do you have any idea why running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg wouldnt autodetect video hardware in xorg.conf though
[18:00] <frenchy> sorry Pici
[18:01] <frenchy> but yea its not showing up in mine
[18:01] <Pici> frenchy: do you have universe enabled as well?
[18:01] <Impy^> i'll play around
[18:01] <Impy^> =]
[18:01] <Bruno_F> Impy^: are you using macromedia flash player or the other plugin?
[18:01] <frenchy> Pici yeah i do
[18:01] <robelliott2125> Then i'm stuck Impy^, i'm new myself, but just suggesting stuff which I've done.  :P
[18:02] <Impy^> i'm not sure in the plugins it says shockwave flash :)
[18:02] <bastid_raZor> mooseman447; from my understanding that doesn't do that anymore like in 7.10.. it is automagically done. nvidia-settings should do the same as a previous dpkg-reconfigure would have.
[18:02] <Impy^> ahh it's okay thanks for suggesting things though :)
[18:02] <mooseman447> bastid_razor i noticed that on another system i have the x11-server-utils package installed but this troubled one doesnt even list it
[18:02] <Bruno_F> no, it's not shockwave flash, it's 'macromedia flash player' the one you're looking for
[18:02] <Pici> frenchy: Odd, ubottu says its for amd64, but I'm not seeing it for that architecture here.
[18:02] <Rezagrats> How do i restart 'gnome-settings-manager' it shut off after i hit CRTL+Z in a 'sudo nautilus' session. i get this message: http://o00111011.pcriot.com/images/gnome-appearance-properties.png
[18:02] <Impy^> how do i get another one then?
[18:03] <frenchy> Pici yeah i think ive read that the 32 bit shows up in the repo but wont let you install it but i dont see that either
[18:03] <Bruno_F> first you have to purge it, then reinstall macromedia flash player...
[18:03] <Impy^> how do i purge it?
[18:04] <Bruno_F> sudo apt-get purge xxxx
[18:04] <Bruno_F> 1 sec
[18:04] <flush> yo i got issue
[18:05] <Bruno_F> gnash SFW viewer
[18:05] <Bruno_F> that's the one i had problems with. see if you have that installed
[18:05] <Adakos> my friend sent me a file, it wsa .tar.gz but he ungzipped it, and my normal tar -j command wont work, and tar -zxvf doesnt work either, and suggestions?
[18:05] <Pici> flush: just ask
[18:05] <robeph> I just got banned for profanity in another channel for saying bitchx =\

[18:15] <rockyrock> plz read my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=894261
[18:15] <Huffalump> Which would be the correct channel to ask for a rudimentary explanation of why one might want LVM during an Ubuntu install?   It appears to be for people who have several hard disks and not just one drive.
[18:15] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, Should.
[18:15] <IdleOne> Ahadiel, thanks'
[18:16] <j800r> Pici, i know about dualbooting upon a ubuntu install, but i'm asking about the other way round :\
[18:16] <Pici> j800r: What do you mean?
[18:16] <j800r> i'm running ubuntu, i want to reinstall windows xp on dual boot, without removing my ubuntu partition
[18:16] <jnwhiteh> I've just installed a new wireless card, and the driver is being picked up (i.e. it shows in lsmod).  Unfortunately, the only devices showing in ifconfig are eth0 and lo0.
[18:17] <Ahadiel> j800r, Assuming you have no availible partitions, you need too shrink your Ubuntu partition, then use the Windows CD to install it on that free space.
[18:18] <micron> When I try to share a folder over network it says: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. I don't know what to do. help pls..
[18:18] <plik> j800r: keeping your ubuntu partition is easy, but windows will overwrite the master boot record / grub, so you'll need to reinstall grub after - google knows how
[18:18] <jnwhiteh> My card also shows when I lshw -C network
[18:18] <olleorama> Hpw do I use a tcl-file?
[18:18] <unop> micron, appears you need sudo there.
[18:19] <Huffalump> Ah, seems some people try to describe LVM advantages here -> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-May/thread.html#79071

[18:20] <Ahadiel> j800r, You use the Ubuntu LiveCD or use a GParted LiveCD.
[18:20] <fograven> can anyone help with iPod and multimedia?
[18:20] <Ahadiel> j800r, Just don't start the installer and use GParted directly.
[18:20] <j800r> but using the ubuntu cd, wouldn't that reinstall ubuntu :\

[18:22] <AzizLight> is there a way to set the order in which startup items are launched please?
[18:23] <mooseman447> bastid_razor the only thing weird is the listed refresh rates in monitor resolution settings are 50,51,52,53,54,55 and im using a crt
[18:23] <j800r> Ahadiel,  how do i do that. i know how to run ubuntu live cd, but only way i know how to repartion is during install
[18:23] <soundray> AzizLight: I don't think so. What's the problem? Perhaps it can be solved differently
[18:23] <unop> Adakos, are you setting up a mail server to be able to receive mail?
[18:24] <j800r> do i run it from terminal when booting from the live cd? :\
[18:24] <Ahadiel> j800r, Go download the GParted Livecd ISO, burn it, boot it, launch GParted, resize partition, and reboot.
[18:24] <j800r> ahhhh damnit
[18:24] <j800r> i'm outta blank dvds :|
[18:24] <unop> j800r, you can use the ubuntu live CD

[18:24] <j800r> can i boot into ubuntu live cd and run gparted from terminal? :\
[18:24] <unop> Adakos, what's wrong with postfix?
[18:25] <soundray> j800r: yes, 'gksudo gparted'
[18:25] <j800r> thanks
[18:25] <j800r> i'm gonna get to that
[18:25] <labanux> i've tried DBDesigner 4.0, but the look and feel seems really bad.. and it always gettin error over and over.
[18:26] <Adakos> unop: i used a guide I found on the forums and I followed it to the letter, but when it came time to test the setup, I was unable to telnet in, and once I fixed that I was only able to send/receive mail internally, and eventually, with enough tinkering , i was unable to even telnet in to test

[18:27] <unop> Adakos, that could indicate that postfix isn't running or something like a firewall is stopping connections to port 25 (or the one you have chosen)

[18:30] <evild_> hello everyone
[18:30] <Plouj> is disabling swap on ubuntu a matter of removing a line from /etc/fstab and doing swapoff -a? Are there any special Ubuntu scripts that might automatically turn swap back on?
[18:30] <Plouj> any scripts that generate /etc/fstab?

[18:31] <Plouj> TYLER_DA_MAN stop spamming
[18:31] <soundray> AzizLight: you could also write a script that starts devilspie, then sleeps for a couple of seconds, then starts the program(s) that devilspie shall control. Call this script instead of devilspie and the other one from Startup programs
[18:31] <Pici> Plouj: That user isnt in this channel

[18:33] <crlcan81> I've got the current ubuntu, and all current updates available from the server. For some reason ZSNES isn't playing sound even though my sound is perfectly fine. All options are set on the standard that ZSNES starts out with.
[18:34] <Adakos> fsufitch: just wondering if you could switch, i know that doesnt solve your problem, though ...  have you tried to kill the processes?
[18:34] <AzizLight> soundray: I don't think so, mrxvt is launched before devil's pie on my computer, the list in the Sessions menu is arranged alphabetically...

[18:35] <crlcan81> what firefox keeps crashing? I get that too once in a while. I think it's an overzealous process in Firefox that seems to crash Firefox. I get that in Windows too.
[18:35] <Adakos> fsufitch: im not sure, then, try downloading the latest beta/ and older version and see if that fixes it
[18:35] <soundray> alex101: you're repeating too frequently. Please leave 10 minutes or so for new people to log on who might be able to help
[18:35] <alex101> Sorry .
[18:36] <Adakos> micron: you can try doing "sudo nautilis"
[18:36] <alex101> will do.
[18:36] <fsufitch> Adakos, this is weird. i installed epiphany-browser, and that pops up an empty "Crash Recovery" dialog

[18:37] <nikhil> hi there
[18:37] <soundray> belendax: why would you want a package without its dependencies?
[18:37] <fsufitch> Adakos, epiphany also uses the mozilla engine to render pages. it would seem i broke mozilla
[18:38] <soundray> belendax: anyway, you can force it by downloading the package from packages.ubuntu.com and install with 'sudo dpkg -i --force-depends packagename.deb'
[18:38] <lesshaste> how do you mount an iso image?
[18:38] <crlcan81> I get problems with some mozilla programs mostly when other programs cause a crash.
