[00:00] <wers> how do i set window opacity?
[00:00] <jrib> HOMEMADEJAM: for example: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x329.html  #bash might have more resources
[00:00] <naxa> :)
[00:01] <benpicco> kitche: so there is no tool which can grab the screen?
[00:01] <nsadmin> and info bash is a good definitive reference if you have the info pages for bash installed
[00:01] <kitche> benpicco: yes there is a tool but most likely you do not need one
[00:01] <HLM11> any info on how I can do that?
[00:01] <benpicco> well, I need one..
[00:02] <HOMEMADEJAM> Okay thanks, I'll take a look at that site
[00:02] <int256> how to configure compiz effects
[00:02] <naxa> rdw200169, is there an alternate update manager? i would like to order updates by size, couse i have a lame connection
[00:02] <kitche> benpicco: are you sure that the game does not have a screenshot option inside of it?
[00:02] <rdw200169> naxa, not really.. you can use synaptic or apt-get instead of the update manager, though
[00:03] <rdw200169> naxa, well, not that i know of anyway
[00:03] <benpicco> kitche: yes, it's still in development
[00:03] <naxa> rdw200169, i see...  :)
[00:04] <naxa> rdw200169, thank you! :)
[00:04] <thebloggu> can someone tell me if is possible for me to tweak my theme not to look so big ? for example, in firefox my bookmarks bar height is maybe 20px and i like it small
[00:05] <SudoKing> hi, firefox is resolving invalid hosts to a specific server, I checked with resolv.conf and removed some lines that must be affecting it, and restarted init.d/networking, but the error is still there.  Anything I can do?
[00:05] <naxa> rdw200169, may i ask what is your exact desktop experience configuration right now? i don't want to be rude, but I always end up with unfinished things 'couse i don't know what's next. your previous tips were great but this question is about the details altogether. but please don't answer if i am asking too much
[00:05] <mistergibson> after a recent update, I've lost audio in xine (set to use pulse) ... anyone else run into this?
[00:05] <mistergibson> it was working like a champ prior to update
[00:05] <sammyF> thebloggu: if I remember correctly, FF uses the your gnome theme for the menues
[00:05] <naxa> 'couse i don't want to be rude it's just i don't know how to put up a good selection of stuff
[00:05] <SudoKing> mistergibson: same wtih me too, haven't gotten it fixed yet :S
[00:05] <Renfield> Is there a timeline for the release of Jaunty?
[00:06] <Mood> isn't it june?
[00:06] <kitche> !Jaunty | Renfield
[00:06] <mistergibson> sudoking: did you see a ticket logged?
[00:06] <deepfriedsquirre> When I try to run Morrowind with wine, I get 'Unable to find a CD-ROM/DVD drive on your computer'. What shall I do?
[00:06] <rdw200169> naxa, well, here's a screenshot of my crappy desktop, sec...
[00:06] <Mood> or april
[00:06] <Mood> :-)
[00:06] <Renfield> Oh, thanks.
[00:06] <thebloggu> sammyF, right, but can i edit them ? if possible, what do  have to change ?
[00:06] <rdw200169> naxa, http://www.flickr.com/photos/35399757@N04/3280161820/
[00:07] <rdw200169> naxa, it looks kinda strange b/c that's both monitors
[00:07] <sammyF> thebloggu: sure you can. just right click on the desktop, change "desktop background"->Theme->Edit Theme
[00:07] <Astero1D> How do I install Enemy territory on linux? is this game still free?
[00:07] <deepfriedsquirre> Don't worry everyone, I found a solution for myself
[00:07] <sammyF> thebloggu: or the fonts tab even ;)
[00:07] <Barbaren> yo
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> thebloggu: well your example, firefox has its own theme. you can download different ones. and for the toolbar, rightclick->adapter->small icons
[00:08] <deepfriedsquirre> Astero1D: Quake Wars? Maybe IDSoftware has an executable for it like with Quake 4.
[00:08] <deepfriedsquirre> Look in the Ubuntu wiki.
[00:08] <HLM11> this was self-resolved, I was using the layout with dead-keys, bugt mine does not have deadkeys
[00:08] <deepfriedsquirre> Also, you'll probably need to copy some data files from the DVD first
[00:08] <thebloggu> sammyF, oh sorry :P i mean edit the theme itself and not change themes
[00:08] <Barbaren> Can anyone here recommend a simple LAMP based CRM (like SugarCRM) for small/medium sized business? I like sugar, but it's really way over the top for what we need. Anyone have some experience here?
[00:08] <Animator> Is there any way to format a /dev/sdd1 drive ?
[00:08] <ammagendut> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) what is this mean?
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> SudoKing: do you made entries in /etc/hosts?
[00:08] <Astero1D> deepfriedsquirre, Quake for has executeble for Linux?
[00:09] <sammyF> thebloggu: well .. you can edit firefox themes, if that's what you want. there's a HOWTO on mozilla's page somewhere.
[00:09] <Obituary> try nexuiz
[00:09] <Obituary> its very good in ubuntu
[00:09] <thebloggu> zsquareplusc, yes i know, i have small icons but not in the bookmarks menu, and menus are almost always gtk and not firefox theme
[00:09] <mindriot> ammagendut, it usually means another synaptic or apt-get session or updater is running.  Close them
[00:09] <SudoKing> zsquareplusc: nothing major
[00:09] <Obituary> do you know how can i unistall windows and install ubuntu
[00:09] <nightrid3r> Barbaren tigercrm
[00:09] <thebloggu> zsquareplusc, and still, i would like integration with my desktop
[00:09] <Obituary> i am using ubuntu and windows in the same pc
[00:09] <thebloggu> sammyF, i want to edit the gtk :P
[00:09] <Barbaren> thanks nightrid3r, any other recommendations?
[00:10] <kshep> treme.com
[00:10] <ammagendut> E: Unable to lock the download directory and this?
[00:10] <deepfriedsquirre> Astero1D: Quake 4 does, but it's hard to get. There don't seem to be many mirrors... I think there may be a freebsd mirror that does a linux executable somewhere, but I'm not sure. Also, there are different versions of the executable.
[00:10] <Obituary> where are you all from
[00:10] <jrib> !ot | Obituary
[00:11] <sammyF> thebloggu: well .. you can edit the Theme in in the Theme tab, you can change the fonts in the font tab. There are lots of very nice themes around which you can tweak. If you want to actually create new themes, I'd say check gnome.org. They have HOWTOs too ;)
[00:11] <sammyF> thebloggu: though if I recall correctly it's not VERY easy. mostly editing xml files
[00:11] <deepfriedsquirre> Obituary: There's documentation for questions like that. People here aren't happy to give you an install guide when there's a perfectly good one out there.
[00:11] <mistergibson> anyone seen a real gnome/gtk theme editor creator out there?
[00:11] <zawa> hey does anyone know how to make bbs art not all screwed up?
[00:12] <Ishmael> how do i get xubuntu to recognize a usb external cd/dvd burner?
[00:12] <naxa> rdw200169, i think this is a "private photo" on flickr... at least it says that. maybe you should edit it to be public
[00:12] <mastt> how do I tell what version of ubuntu I'm using?

[00:18] <whileimhere> hi I am re doing a laptop with ubuntu 8.10 and am going to include a / and a /home partition. How large should my swap and / be?
[00:18] <redvamp128> !audio | Ax4
[00:18] <nightrid3r> Ax4 give more info like what soundcard you have and what you try before all on one line
[00:18] <sammyF> after 4 hours of installing and updating, I can say that there is something fishy going on with one of the last updates to networkmanager or avahi
[00:19] <Andelkrag> Hi everyone, greetings from Spain. :)
[00:19] <Ishmael> Ca Va?
[00:19] <nightrid3r> whileimhere swap = 2X ram
[00:19] <sammyF> anybody got network manager to run aftr the latest updates on netbooks?
[00:19] <naxa> rdw200169, yeah i know, i mean what is the program that monitors your system on your screen? :)
[00:20] <Ishmael> top
[00:20] <whileimhere> And how much suggested space for /? I dont want to have to re-do it later on and they only have  a 40 gig drive
[00:20] <rdw200169> naxa, ah, that's screenlets
[00:20] <Ax4> nightrid3r, haven't tried much, it simply doesn't output sound, I have a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX motherboard, lscpi says: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[00:20] <naxa> rdw200169, i see. i tried to do apt-get install gscreenlets but there is no such a package :( is this normal?
[00:21] <rdw200169> naxa, did you search for it? i.e.: apt-cache search screenlets
[00:21] <naxa> rdw200169, i didn't know that there is apt-cache :D
[00:21] <SanityInAnarchy> Can't seem to get livecd persistence, snapshoting, or the showmounts option to work. Any other way to get a larger / on that livecd? Is this a known bug?
[00:21] <naxa> rdw200169, is there a really transparent terminal application for gnome?
[00:21] <Ax4> nightrid3r, newegg.com says the audio chipset is: Realtek ALC888
[00:22] <rdw200169> naxa, yeah, mine does it, and i'm using good-ole gnome-terminal
[00:22] <mastt> why is apache called apache2?
[00:22] <nightrid3r> Ax4 sudo lsmod <-- see if audo stuff shows up
[00:22] <naxa> rdw200169, hmm. i have this terminal but it displays the background as transparency
[00:22] <OriWB> I want to set up my fingerprint scanner on a system 76 laptop. Can Someone help?
[00:23] <naxa> rdw200169, so this is some issue then
[00:23] <rdw200169> naxa, Edit -> Current Profile -> Effects
[00:23] <Ishmael> fingerprint scanner? are you from the future?
[00:23] <SanityInAnarchy> Also: The "Make USB Startup Disk" doesn't find my USB hard drive, despite that two of its partitions are mounted.
[00:23] <rip_> !lsmod
[00:23] <Ax4> nightrid3r, lots of stuff
[00:23] <superfly__> can i set up a software raid 5 with 2 sata disks and 1 external usb drive?
[00:23] <Ax4> superfly__, yes
[00:23] <nightrid3r> Ax4 put it on pastebin
[00:23] <rdw200169> superfly__, egads, Why???
[00:24] <naxa> rdw200169, i did that, that's why it shows my desktop :) i think it is a bug couse my card is old. thank you for your help! :) sorry for asking a lot, it' just i haven't found anybody lately who has so many answers and these just came up in my mind.
[00:24] <mastt> how can I tell my system specs, especially how much ram I have and the size of my disks?
[00:24] <Ax4> nightrid3r, http://pastebin.com/d1d903119
[00:24] <Ax4> mastt, sudo fdisk -l
[00:24] <rdw200169> naxa, pick away, on the point of conky, there are lots of posted working configs in the ubuntu forums
[00:24] <rdw200169> naxa, for all kinds of crazy stuff, like this.. sec..
[00:25] <Mech0z__> anyone that can help me with lan issues? I have just put together my new server (8450 x3 and asrock motherboard with Nvidia 8200 chipset) but the onboard lan cant get a ipaddress from my gigalan switch.
[00:25] <rdw200169> naxa, http://lifehacker.com/5152819/to+dos-weather-and-twitter-on-a-linux-desktop
[00:25] <Ax4> mastt, cat /proc/meminfo for mem stats
[00:25] <nightrid3r> Ax4 you have more than 1 soundcard ?
[00:25] <mastt> cannot open /proc/partitions as root, why?
[00:25] <rdw200169> Mech0z, hm... switches don't generally provide DHCP...
[00:25] <Ax4> nightrid3r, yes, I have an old AudigyZS2 in the box
[00:25] <Ax4> but the onboard doesnt work
[00:25] <Mech0z__> It just says "The network connection ahs been disconncted" when I try to connect to it
[00:26] <nightrid3r> Ax4 that one is recognised and will work
[00:26] <zawa> naxa: I think you have to use compiz to get a true transparent terminal
[00:26] <sammyF> Mech0zdid it work before you updated?
[00:26] <Ax4> nightrid3r, so I should switch to the old one and forget about the onboard?
[00:26] <naxa> zawa, that will be the case then :) thanks
[00:26] <sammyF> Mech0z__:  did it work before you updated?
[00:26] <AncientRelic> How can I figure out the path to a Windows share?
[00:26] <redvamp128> mastt:  also try dmesg for a more detailed system info
[00:26] <SanityInAnarchy> So... USB hard drives aren't supported for this? Anyone?
[00:26] <Mech0z__> I have not have any other os installed on that pc sammyF
[00:26] <Dante`> Hi, I've a little issue with the screen command. When I launch a screen via ssh from my gnome-terminal and when I use my mousse to scroll, it goes in the commands history (like if I utilise up arrow) instead of scrolling the stdout.
[00:27] <nightrid3r> Ax4 hmmm i also so intel hda support so maybe you should check you mixer settings
[00:27] <Mech0z__> but I can see that the switch sees it (light in it) and I my I have a mac address so something is working
[00:28] <Ax4> nightrid3r, i've toggled it every which way lol
[00:28] <rip_> i'm having some issues with installing 8.10, i think i have a bad image file.  I do have a working copy of 8.04.  if i install 8.04 is it able to upgrade itself to 8.10 from within ubuntu?
[00:28] <kitche> Dante`: yes and what's the problem exactly if you want to scroll stdout press scrolllock then
[00:28] <Ax4> nightrid3r, but thanks for looking i appreciate it
[00:28] <sammyF> Mech0z__: apparently there was some really smegged up things going on in one of the last updates. I reinstalled first xubuntu, then ubuntu on a netbook. Wired network worked fine, until I installed the updates. after that, it can't connect to anything anymore. only loopback works
[00:28] <kitche> Dante`: yes and what's the problem exactly if you want to scroll stdout press scrolllock then press the up arrow
[00:28] <Ax4> nightrid3r, i'll stick with the older soundcard for now I guess
[00:28] <nightrid3r> Ax4 yes, see if that works for you
[00:28] <Mech0z__> so I need to get an older version?
[00:29] <NFischer> rip_ sure
[00:29] <Mech0z__> sammyF or?
[00:29] <Dante`> kitche: the problem is that on 4 servers, 2 ubuntu servers, it's the only which does that. I'd like to not use the scroll lock, just cause it's faster to just scroll with the mouse instead of doing ctrl+a echap page up
[00:29] <sammyF> Mech0z__: maybe I misunderstood. you just installed ubuntu (fresh clean install) and your adapter can't get an ip address over dhcp?
[00:29] <Mech0z__> sammyF yes
[00:30] <NFischer> rip_  but be careful.. i cant install ibex to. i tried both updating and fresh install both led to kernel panic
[00:30] <Dante`> kitche: "the only one" I mean
[00:30] <Mech0z__> its set as "method: automatic dhcp"
[00:30] <mastt> what's the most lightweight gui I can install and connect to remotely?
[00:30] <sammyF> Mech0z__: ok .. did you have any connection to the switch at any time?
[00:30] <kitche> Dante`: hmm I don't use a gui on servers sicne I find it to be a waste of resources really but sounds like it's a configuration issue
[00:30] <Dante`> kitche: and I dont see what is differents on this server cause the screen configuration is the same than on another.
[00:30] <Mech0z__> sammyF no
[00:30] <redvamp128> mastt:  either Xubuntu-desktop (XFCE) or LXDE
[00:31] <Dante`> kitche: I don't use a gui on my server !
[00:31] <sammyF> Mech0z__: hmm ..Different problem than mine then, sorry
[00:31] <rip_> NFischer: yea, all the files are backed up, i have a feeling this is going to be an ugly install.  its on a laptop that seems to have hard drive issues (unsupported hdd controller?) doing some really bizzare things. gonna give 8.04 a shot
[00:31] <Mech0z__> :(
[00:31] <Mech0z__> this sucks
[00:31] <Mech0z__> cant use it for anything now without lan :S
[00:31] <Dante`> kitche: I use ssh+screen in a traditional way.
[00:32] <Mech0z__> dont even have an old card
[00:32] <[8sch]> hello everyone
[00:32] <OriWB> I want to set up my fingerprint scanner on a system 76 laptop. Can Someone help?
[00:32] <Dante`> kitche: it's just that on this server, which I didn't install myself cause I bought it (OVH), the screen does this weird behaviour
[00:32] <kitche> Dante`: well then you need to figure out the issue like I said I don't use a gui on my server(my definition is different then what you think I m saying)
[00:33] <zimbres> hi, I was writing in the file ibov.C and in other terminal I did ~$ > ibov.C After that I run the command in vim: :vs ibov.C and both windows where empty. Is there anyway to recover the file?
[00:33] <kitche> Dante`: as in I don't use a gui at all on my client to my server
[00:33] <[8sch]> maybe someone can help me: i have a problem with my bcm4306 wifi chip.
[00:33] <nightrid3r> OriWB sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools
[00:33] <Dante`> kitche: you mean that you don't use X and a mouse on your client ?
[00:34] <[8sch]> my system is finding the card, but don#t can connect to wlan
[00:34] <Dante`> kitche: you connect your server directly from a tty ?
[00:34] <Dante`> weird...
[00:34] <OriWB> [8sch]: I'm trying it now. thanx a lot
[00:34] <Thunderdome> I just installed Ubuntu through wubi, and when I boot it up, it ends up going into a BusyBox shell...
[00:34] <kitche> Dante`: not weird since using a gui for me is a waste of resources when I m just sshing
[00:35] <OriWB> [8sch]: it finished i think... but nothing happenned
[00:35] <kitche> Dante`: why waste resources when you'll just be in a ssh session on a remote machine doing all the work
[00:35] <Dante`> kitche: ok ok, so anyway you cant help me if you dont use a mousse
[00:35] <kitche> Dante`: I use a mouse
[00:36] <doc`> i have to internet connections one wireless, and one ethernet, to differnet isp:s can i somehow use both at the same time?
[00:36] <NFischer> !paste
[00:36] <Mech0z__> If I go into network tools then it looks like its using ipv6, could this be a problem?
[00:36] <Dante`> kitche: but u dont use a gnome-terminal...
[00:36] <bmwM5> hello
[00:36] <bmwM5> http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/releases/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
[00:37] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  try gnome-session (any errors?)
[00:37] <Dante`> kitche: thx anyway
[00:37] <bmwM5> is that the one i need if i have core 2 quad(64bit)
[00:37] <bmwM5> or is there a sep one?
[00:37] <bmwM5> iso
[00:37] <nightrid3r> bmwM5 there is a 64 bit iso
[00:37] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: Inside the BusyBox shell?
[00:37] <lstarnes> bmwM5: you can use either the i386 version or the amd64 version
[00:37] <nightrid3r> but that one will work too
[00:37] <kitche> Dante`: also just so you know you onyl scroll gnome-terminal you don't scroll the remote output
[00:38] <bmwM5> will i386 on core 2 quad
[00:38] <bmwM5> be less optimal ?
[00:38] <Dante`> kitche: yes, sorry, I mean I want to scrool in the gnome-terminal history and do not send "^[[A" through the ssh tunnel to the screen
[00:39] <bmwM5> what is direct link to 64bit ubuntu for core 2quad(64bit) system
[00:39] <nightrid3r> bmwM5 for a desktop it will be beter cos off media support
[00:39] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: Er, what do you mean?
[00:39] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  other than that you can reinstall the ubuntu-desktop.
[00:39] <bmwM5> nightrider, im just gonna be using the 64bit 8.10
[00:39] <bmwM5> to fiddle with Oracle 11G
[00:39] <bmwM5> for my 11G ocp studying
[00:40] <bmwM5> i just want a good  64bit 8.10 for core 2quad 64bit system

[00:40] <cablguy> anyone help me with a error 17 for grub??
[00:40] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: Ehm... How?
[00:41] <bmwM5> nightrider, this good too?
[00:41] <dixon_> HAHA, I just found the most ridiculous bug (or what I should call it). Spent over two days on finding a solution to this. It seems that your crontab must end with a new line for it to work. Why!? :)
[00:41] <bmwM5> http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[00:41] <bmwM5> ?
[00:41] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  hit the alt+f1 key should bring up a prompt
[00:41] <nightrid3r> bmwM5 yes
[00:41] <sammyF> cablguy: Supergrub can probably http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[00:41] <cablguy> sammyF:  ok, lemme take a looks..
[00:42]  * cablguy looks @ the site..
[00:42] <bmwM5> nightrider, since that is "belnet.be"
[00:42] <bmwM5> a site i not heard of, how do i check its MD5 once d/l is done
[00:42] <dekkong> Hello!... how can I rename a partition in ubuntu?
[00:42] <elementz> ok, solved my question myself... ^
[00:42] <zsquareplusc> dekkong: rename or do you want to move the mount point?
[00:42] <nightrid3r> bmwM5 in windows or linux?
[00:43] <bmwM5> its on my windows for now
[00:43] <bmwM5> d/l
[00:43] <bmwM5> i trust u, well i dont trust no one i know
[00:43] <bmwM5> im sure that iso from belnet.be is legit
[00:43] <bmwM5> but since its not ubuntu.com, i want to test its MD5  make sure its legit
[00:43] <dekkong> zsquareplusc: I just want to rename it
[00:43] <nightrid3r> bmwM5 google for md5sum windows
[00:44] <Mech0z__> could it be that I need to manually download new realtek giga lan drivers?
[00:44] <cablguy> ok, I've tried supergrub but, it said that it couldn't fix the boot loader...  so, anything else I can try?
[00:44] <DJNomad> anyone using thunar ?
[00:44] <DJNomad> btw all you that help people are awesome
[00:45] <nightrid3r> bmwM5 btw you can trust belnet.be they are official mirors, its a university network
[00:45] <DJNomad> never never found any help like i have here when i was wndblowz user
[00:45] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  if that didn't do it then -- ctl+alt+f1 (login) then try gnome-session - and ctl+alt+f7 to return
[00:45] <zsquareplusc> dekkong: partitions do not have a name by themselves. only the filesystems within the parition, so it depends on that for the rename.
[00:46] <zsquareplusc> Thunderdome: you ended up in a busybox shell when booting? that means the it can not find the root filesystem. that's a kernel parameter, passed on at boot time. but i don't now what it has to be for a wubi install
[00:46] <Hentai> is there ubuntu for sparc64?
[00:47] <never_> anybody know stuff about adding static routes on your ubuntu box?
[00:47] <Thunderdome> zsquareplusc: I'm going to do a chkdsk /f of my Windows partition, and see if that works
[00:47] <nightrid3r> Hentai afaik not, debian supports sparc64
[00:48] <Hentai> yes I'm aware debian does
[00:48] <[8sch]lap> can someone help me with my bcm4306 (can't find/conect network)?
[00:48] <Thunderdome> zsquareplusc: Because I did allocate free space to my windows partition before installing Ubuntu through Wubi
[00:50] <Ishmael> my system isn't recognizing usb devices, how does i fix?
[00:50] <sammyF> [8sch]lap: probably. revert to the last kernel you had prior to .11
[00:51] <sammyF> [8sch]lap: .11 broke networking for many systems
[00:51] <[8sch]lap> thx, what shell i do?
[00:51] <s0101> Hi i need some help
[00:51] <neeto> [8sch]lap: are you using ndiswrapper with bcmwl5?
[00:51] <Mech0z___> that is fucking wierd, I restarted my router and now lan works.
[00:52] <nightrid3r> !ask | s0101
[00:52] <[8sch]lap> b43
[00:52] <Ishmael> !usb
[00:52] <sammyF> [8sch]lap: in a terminal, type "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" look for the line "default 0" and change that to (probably) "default 2"
[00:52] <neeto> [8sch]lap: so does it show up as wlan0 in iwconfig?
[00:52] <Ishmael> that helped none
[00:52] <sammyF> [8sch]lap: reboot. it should work again
[00:52] <s0101> I am using amsn on 2 computers via router but i would like to know how to block it.  does  anybody know what port?
[00:53] <Ishmael> 1863 is msn
[00:53] <nightrid3r> s0101 port 1863
[00:53] <savanik> Does anybody know what the -S switches for gpsmap actually go to? The man file I have is old.
[00:54] <nellmathew> anyone here use a blackberry media manager for ubuntu?..  or any software for the blackberry?.. (not in wine or vm)
[00:54] <s0101> i tried that before but that did only block live messenger on my third computer with windows
[00:55] <Ishmael> s0101, well, in my messenger program it lists 1863 as the port it uses to communicate with the server
[00:55] <BlackDalek> who here is an expert at getting the TV out to work on nvidia graphics cards? I have a GeForce4 ti 4200 Go AGP 8x.
[00:55] <s0101> do you have Amsn?
[00:55] <Ishmael> no, what's that?
[00:56] <jrib> BlackDalek: usually, one just enables the nvidia drivers in System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and then uses nvidia-settings
[00:56] <Ishmael> i use Pidgin
[00:56] <nellmathew> what's a good video encoder for ubuntu? (super in wine doesn't seem to work)
[00:56] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  Did you see screens like this when ubuntu rebooted? Installing Ubuntu From A Windows System With Wubi - Page 2 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials <http://www.howtoforge.com/wubi_ubuntu_on_windows_p2>
[00:56] <maxime_> hi everyone
[00:57] <freegoo> i am using compiz fusion cube  plug in, bit i can not seem to add more sides to the cube. any ideas???
[00:57] <cphillips> how do i make a playlist for mplayer?
[00:57] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: =S No, it didnt do that
[00:57] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: I'll try reinstalling Wubi...
[00:57] <BlackDalek> jrib, I think I have that installed, but I can't make sense out of the settings and I don't see anything for TV out... I have a thing down the bottom of sysinfo which says Nvidia and Nvidia settings...
[00:57] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  have a look at that guide
[00:57] <Ishmael> so, anyone, quick command line to turn usb on?  it doesn't recognize anything i'm hooking up right now
[00:58] <elnotas> algun español
[00:58] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: I installed it normally, but I didnt get those componen screens and such.
[00:58] <jrib> BlackDalek: x server dislay configuratio, then enable the tv
[00:58] <savanik> freegoo - you need to add more virtual workspaces to get more sides on the cube.
[00:58] <nightrid3r> BlackDalek sudo apt-get install nvtv
[00:58] <kitche> Ishmael: there isn't one besides mounting the device
[00:58] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  when you installed with a cd -- did you leave it in after reboot?
[00:58] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: ... I didnt install with a CD...
[00:59] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: I installed it through Wubi
[00:59] <sirhc_> has anyone ever used gnome-lirc-properties?
[00:59] <Ishmael> kitche, k, but that just confuses me, cause absolutely nothing happens when i plug something in.  i was hoping hotplugging was turned off by default or something
[00:59] <BlackDalek>  jrib do I have to install NVTV as nightrid3r suggests?
[00:59] <redvamp128> Thunderdome:  I would try wubi again or download a cd and do the install from that.
[01:00] <Thunderdome> redvamp128: Yeah, I'm reinstalling right now -- And my two CD drives cant seem to burn a CD
[01:00] <cphillips> how do i make a playlist for mplayer?
[01:00] <jrib> BlackDalek: that may be an alternative
[01:00] <jrib> cphillips: one way is to just list files one per line
[01:01] <redvamp128> freegoo: Forlong's Blog - How to set up Compiz Fusion 0.7.4 (included in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) <http://forlong.blogage.de/en/entries/2008/4/26/-How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074-included-in-Ubuntu-804-Hardy-Heron>
[01:01] <Ishmael> is there a chance that my usb ports are just dead?
[01:01] <BlackDalek> jrib, ok, cos I got no TV setting to enable under x server display config
[01:01] <redvamp128> freegoo:  That is a guide on how to get the cube working and add sides...a how to.
[01:01] <cphillips> jrib, okay, but how do i do that automatically? i just want to shuffle my whole library.
[01:02] <jrib> cphillips: you should be able to just pass all the files on the command line to mplayer
[01:02] <redvamp128> freegoo:  correction this is the link to the guide Forlong's Blog - How to set up Compiz Fusion 0.7.4 <http://forlong.blogage.de/en/entries/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074>
[01:03] <cphillips> jrib, with what command?
[01:03] <jrib> cphillips: just glob them
[01:03] <sammyF> cphillips: type "mplayer --help" for the available options
[01:04] <spasticteapot> I have one soundcard installed on my computer - an M-Audio Audiophile USB.
[01:04] <spasticteapot> It's recognized by aplay-l, and is set as the playback option in various menus.
[01:04] <spasticteapot> However, no noise comes out of it.
[01:04] <[8sch]> neeto, yes it does
[01:05] <[8sch]> samferry, sadly it doesn't work
[01:05] <rdw200169> spasticteapot, you wanna look up using an M-Audio device w/PulseAudio
[01:05] <int256> what is colinux
[01:06] <rdw200169> spasticteapot, its kinda screwy b/c there's no 'Front' or 'back' our 'output' on m-audio devices, being that they are meant for recording/mixing etc...
[01:06] <Whyvas> http://halbot.haluze.sk/images/2006-04/2182_Google_in_20_years.jpg
[01:06] <spasticteapot> This one, ironically enough, really isn't.
[01:06] <redvamp128> int256:  I read about that one-- it is a linux that runs as a process inside windows- but is very limited.
[01:06] <rdw200169> spasticteapot, hmm... interesting,
[01:07] <int256> redvamp128: ok
[01:07] <sirhc_> colinux is where they put a tube up your a?? and flush out your colin...
[01:07] <int256> sirhc_: lol
[01:07] <Guest96741> will a new version of Ubuntu be released when Debian is?
[01:07] <spasticteapot> It has as much I/O as my old SoundBlaster: One set of line inputs, one set of line outputs, a headphone jack, S/PDIF I/O, and MIDI.
[01:07] <kitche> Guest96741: before debian is released
[01:07] <Guest96741> kitche: what's the point in that?
[01:08] <HLM11> how do I remove a dir as root (sudo) when rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /DIRLOCATION/ doesnt work?
[01:08] <kitche> Guest96741: April is the next release of Ubuntu umm Debian gets released like every two years or so
[01:08] <redvamp128> int256:  you would be better off running a Virtual Box of linux -The one process makes it rather slow, and integration is limited.
[01:08] <Guest96741> kitche: the next version is being released in 5 hours time.
[01:08] <[8sch]> still have a problem with bcm4306. wln0 is showen as activ, but not showing/connetcting networks
[01:08] <int256> i have a TV tuner card in my system. how can i use it. any software for that ?
[01:09] <Redragon1337> how do i extract an iso thru the terminal?
[01:09] <sirhc_> int256 - what kind of card
[01:09] <kitche> Guest96741: yes which is roughly what been two years since the last release well a year Ubuntu does it every 6 months
[01:09] <spasticteapot> rdw200169: I can only find one reference to pulseaudio on my PC, and running "pulseaudio -k" does nothing.
[01:09] <int256> sirhc_: TV Tuner card (pinnacle)
[01:09] <HLM11> how do I remove a dir as root (sudo) when rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /DIRLOCATION/ doesnt work?
[01:10] <nightrid3r> int256 kdetv
 sudo rm -r dir
[01:10] <Guest96741> kitche: so, in answer to my question, no ubuntu will not be released when debian is.
[01:10] <HLM11> thankyou
[01:10] <sirhc_> int256: i had good luck with tvtime.. it picked up my card with no problems..
[01:11] <int256> ok
[01:11] <rdw200169> spasticteapot, you must be going alsa only then
[01:11] <sirhc_> int256: now if i could only get the darn remote working...
[01:11] <kitche> Guest96741: no next release is in April
[01:11] <Guest96741> kitche: what's that called?
[01:11] <spasticteapot> rdw200169: So, what do I do now?
[01:12] <rdw200169> did you google your model number + ubuntu ?
[01:12] <rdw200169> spasticteapot, there's probably a reference to it in the ubuntu wiki or on the forums
[01:12] <kitche> !Jaunty | Guest96741
[01:12] <spasticteapot> I looked.
[01:12] <HLM11> how do I move all everything from /1/2/ to /1/
[01:13] <HLM11> all of everything*
[01:13] <int256> is any one able to visit flock.com
[01:13] <HLM11> http://flock.com
[01:14] <HLM11> Yes
[01:14] <int256> HLM11: ya
[01:14] <HLM11> int256: Yes, it appears to be a site to download a web[?] browser
[01:15] <int256> HLM11: yes, will it work on ubuntu
[01:15] <kitche> int256: should since it has linux support
[01:15] <Mal3ko> guys..can you tell me how to allow port ranges with ufw?
[01:15] <ashlessburn> so does anyone one when 50deb is comin out
[01:15] <nightrid3r> int256 seems to be a dns problem (i'm in belgium)
[01:16] <int256> kitche: can you pls send the link to the linux version of file.
[01:16] <int256> i cannot visit that site
[01:16] <viewtyjoe_> hello
[01:16] <nanotube> Mal3ko: "man ufw" it has examples
[01:16] <int256> viewtyjoe_: hello
[01:16] <int256> nightrid3r: so you cannot visit that site.
[01:16] <int256> nightrid3r: me too
[01:17] <nightrid3r> int256 nope
[01:17] <int256> i am in india
[01:17] <enoksrd> anyone know how to make udev repopulate /dev/disk/by-label without a reboot?
[01:17] <ashlessburn> edit ur reg files
[01:17] <nanotube> Mal3ko: in short, use colons (ie, 80:100)
[01:17] <int256> nightrid3r: ok
[01:17] <HLM11> int256: the resolved ip of http://www.flock.com is <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:17] <Mal3ko> nanotube: i tried ufw allow proto tcp from any port 4500 to any port 4600
[01:17] <Mal3ko> wrong?
[01:17] <kitche> int256: well if you can't visit the site then how do you expect to get the file?
[01:17] <n8tuser> enoksrd -> try  sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart  or hald restart on same dir
[01:18] <nanotube> Mal3ko: if your goal is to enable access to the range of ports from 4500 to 4600, then yes, wrong. :)
[01:18] <sirhc_> http://www.flock.com/download/?platform=linux
[01:18] <HLM11> how do I move all of everything from /1/2/ to /1/  ?
[01:18] <int256> kitche: sorry
[01:18] <nanotube> Mal3ko: what you have says allow from external ip: port 4500 to internal ip: port 4600
[01:18] <elementz> i am trying to convert flac > mp3 via soundconverter. it would be nice to do it via the commandline, so that i can automatically shut down the system when converting has finished.
[01:18] <int256> HLM11: yes the i tried the ip
[01:18] <int256> yes it is now working
[01:18] <int256> HLM11: thanks
[01:19] <elementz> it that possible with soundvonverter?
[01:19] <nightrid3r> points to downloads.flock.com which doesn't resolve here
[01:19] <sirhc_> nightrid3r: http://www.flock.com/download/?platform=linux
[01:19] <enoksrd> n8tuser: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart worked, thanks!
[01:19] <nanotube> Mal3ko: you are looking for probably something like ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 4500:4600
[01:19] <HLM11> http://downloads.flock.com/index.php?os=linux&product=flock-2.0.3
[01:19] <n8tuser> enoksrd -> you're welcome
[01:19] <nightrid3r> sirhc_ i know but dns here doesn't resolve
[01:19] <Mal3ko> nanotube: yes
[01:20] <HLM11> is there a way to mass move files in a folder to the folder above it?  example:  move all contencts of /1/2/ -> /1/
[01:20] <Mal3ko> nanotube: how to delete the range that i added wrongly?
[01:20] <Mal3ko> ufw allow proto tcp from any port 4500 to any port 4600
[01:20] <sirhc_> nightrid3r: what language are you in / country again?
[01:21] <nightrid3r> sirhc_ Belgium
[01:21] <nanotube> Mal3ko: use 'delete'. as i suggested, "man ufw". it's all there. :)
[01:21] <nanotube> Mal3ko: so, you'd go for something like "ufw delete allow proto tcp from any port 4500 to any port 4600"

[01:25] <redvamp128> Mech0z:  sudo apt-get install xchat
[01:25] <nanotube> Mech0z: well, first, you should use "sudo apt-get install xchat". (note the install keyword)
[01:26] <HLM11> int256: so then did that ip work?
[01:26] <nanotube> Mech0z: second, xchat is in universe, so check your repositories and see if universe is enabled.
[01:26] <Mech0z> e: coudlnt find package xchat
[01:26] <int256> HLM11: nope

[01:30] <Mech0z> (was as default)
[01:30] <acalbaza> i want to install enfuse but its in the jaunty repo and not the ibex repo, im a little fuzzy on how to get this installed using synaptic
[01:30] <Mech0z> then it should work?

[01:32] <coz_> redvamp128,  yes  it is just a nuisance
[01:32] <coz_> :)
[01:32] <nanotube> aleron6: hm, well.. you can probably find some ubuntu books in pdf...
[01:32] <Mech0z> now its working nanotube
[01:32] <nanotube> Mech0z: or if you're still in synaptic, click "reload", and then ctl-f "xchat"
[01:33] <nanotube> Mech0z: cool :)
[01:33] <robert_zaccour> can i use my hauppauge 850 usb tv tuner in ubuntu?
[01:33] <Mech0z> dont know what synaptic is :o
[01:33] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download2.html aleron6
[01:33] <aleron6> wat book lol
[01:33] <sapo> ei tem alguem ai
[01:33] <coz_> robert_zaccour,  that should work but i would google that was well with   ubuntu hauppaguge 850
[01:34] <HLM11> after installing phpmyadmin from synaptic package manager, how can I access it?
[01:34] <sileni> hey guys, i see that ubuntu has desktop version and server version. I have an old pc sitting around that i want to mess with. what are some possibilities with server edition?
[01:34] <robert_zaccour> it doesn't work
[01:34] <robert_zaccour> and all the drivers are invalid
[01:34] <Mech0zServer> nanotube, works^
[01:34] <robert_zaccour> according to ndisgtk
[01:34] <sapo> ei vc
[01:34] <invisime> every now and then when I'm using an application that has sound, all sound will cut out. if I close the application, its process will remain open and sound will not play. if I kill the process, sound will be restored.
[01:34] <aleron6> r yu sure that is a good book
[01:34] <redvamp128> !es | sapo:
[01:34] <invisime> do these symptoms remind anyone of anything?
[01:34] <robert_zaccour> and the tutorials for the sound card don't make sense to me
[01:34] <maxXMB> virtualizing solaris
[01:34] <ncfi1013_> my ipod was working fine this morning. now i can't get it to mount. ive tried everything i can think of to get it to mount again. please help. can anybody tell me what this means and how to fix it? i have to go to work tonight and i will go crazy if i dont have any music to listen to so i dont have to listen to those all those morons that i work with. here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118226/
[01:34] <robert_zaccour> oops
[01:35] <robert_zaccour> i meant the tutorials for the tuner don't make sense to me
[01:35] <nightrid3r> robert_zaccour ndisgtk is for wifi drivers not for tvtuners
[01:35] <nanotube> Mech0zServer: synaptic is the 'synaptic package manager'. basically, a fancy gui for apt-get. :)
[01:35] <sapo> algue   fala portugues
[01:35] <robert_zaccour> but it works for other stuff also
[01:35] <Mech0zServer> ah okay
[01:35] <nightrid3r> !pt | sapo
[01:35] <coz_> robert_zaccour,  http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-1057089.html
[01:35] <nanotube> robert_zaccour: google for "hauppage 850 ubuntu" without the quotes, an dyou'll find a few threads about it.
[01:36] <Necrogamemaster> Excuse me I'm looking to buy some books and would like some suggestions, I like computers, programming, radio, and electronics. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
[01:36] <ashlessburn> is titan on
[01:36] <nanotube> coz_: that's the first google result, eh :)
[01:36] <robert_zaccour> thanks
[01:36] <robert_zaccour> i did that earlier, couldn't make sense out of it
[01:36] <nanotube> Necrogamemaster: what are you looking to learn? just anything in those areas? or somethin gin particular?
[01:36] <HLM11> after installing phpmyadmin from synaptic package manager, how can I access it?
[01:36] <greaser> anyone have any idea why gadmin-proftpd just closes when the window pops up after i click it? fresh install
[01:36] <sileni> Necrogamemaster: why are you asking this in ubuntu channel?
[01:36] <nsadmin> Necrogamemaster wah is your goal
[01:36] <PVO> Can anyone tell me how to install rndis-lite without an internet connection in ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)?
[01:36] <Mech0zServer> what should I type to install nvidia drivers?
[01:36] <cphillips> does anyone know how changing /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko could have an effect on my system recognizing my wireless card? I was trying to undervolt my laptop
[01:36] <nanotube> sileni: obviously because the ubuntu channel is full of smart people who can recommend good books. :) duh. :)
[01:37] <sileni> nanotube: nice one
[01:37] <Necrogamemaster> I'm just looking into broad categories any suggestions in those fields would be great
[01:37] <nanotube> sileni: :)
[01:37] <Ishmael> i want some good book suggestions too!
[01:37] <nsadmin> Necrogamemaster: ok... install ubuntu and read some man pages :)
[01:38] <nanotube> Necrogamemaster: there was a good slashdot thread recently about math and science related books. look there.
[01:38] <sileni> nsadmin: even better one
[01:38] <Ishmael> why does Necrogamemaster get all the books?
[01:38] <HLM11> after installing phpmyadmin from synaptic package manager, how can I access it?
[01:38] <ashlessburn> sileni: dont be a jerk this is a open channel right
[01:38] <nanotube> Necrogamemaster: Ishmael: here: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/08/228256
[01:38] <sileni> ashlessburn: how am i being a jerk?
[01:38] <Mech0zServer> anyone know a vnc server that dont need port forwarding from the router to work and has a java interface?
[01:38] <Ishmael> nanotube, i was just trying to be an ass
[01:38] <IdleOne> !ot | sileni nanotube
[01:39] <ashlessburn> sileni: whats better then finding out computer liter then on a computer/linux/ubuntu forum
[01:39] <YlandeFaran> My cpu fan was spinning in the wrong direction.
[01:39] <nanotube> Ishmael: heh ic. well a book list never hurt anyone :)
[01:39] <sileni> IdleOne: exactly i don't see how computer programming radio electronics relates to ubuntu
[01:39] <YlandeFaran> So I tried to be smart, I cut the red and the black cables.
[01:39] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know what this means? alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[01:39] <YlandeFaran> and reattached them in reverse.
[01:39] <YlandeFaran> But now the fan aint moving. :<
[01:39] <spasticteapot> You cooked it.
[01:39] <orly_owl> Is there a PPA repo I can add to hardy sources.list to install KDE4?
[01:39] <spasticteapot> The fan's not a standard brushed DC motor - you can't do that.
[01:40] <Ishmael> nanotube, never say never
[01:40] <greaser> anyone have any idea why gadmin-proftpd just closes when the window pops up after i click it? fresh install
[01:40] <spasticteapot> You should have just flipped it upside down.
[01:40] <nanotube> Ishmael: heh
[01:40] <nsadmin> sometimes say sometimes!
[01:40] <IdleOne> sileni, it doesnt if you feel like googling for him and then letting him know the results in private that is great otherwise you adding unnecessary scroll to the channel
[01:40] <rip_> along with the way the blades are shaped, they only are efficient at moving air in one direction
[01:40] <YlandeFaran> spasticteapot: The advice is good, but it didn't work in this situation.
[01:40] <HLM11> after installing phpmyadmin from synaptic package manager, how can I access it?
[01:40] <Ishmael> nanotube, in fact, that makes me want to go out and get hurt by a booklist somehow
[01:40] <bloodrock> HLM11, it may not have a gui so you may have to use command line
[01:40] <YlandeFaran> How do I repair my error?
[01:40] <YlandeFaran> Can I simply rearrange the cables?
[01:40] <HLM11> ok..
[01:40] <nanotube> sileni: that is also obvious: ubuntu is software, made by programmers. further, it runs on computers, which are made of electronics. the relationship is clear as day, my dear watson. :)
[01:40] <ashlessburn> necrogamemaster i find that ur local book store can offer all kinds on computer/programming litertur u can never be too quick to learn it all though. so take ur time and inveest properly
[01:41] <sileni> IdleOne: exactly thats why i asked him why he is asking this channel, i didn't make fun of him or anything.
[01:41] <ncfi1013_> my ipod was working fine this morning. now i can't get it to mount. ive tried everything i can think of to get it to mount again. please help. can anybody tell me what this means and how to fix it? i have to go to work tonight and i will go crazy if i dont have any music to listen to so i dont have to listen to those all those morons that i work with. here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118226/
[01:41] <neeto> HLM11: do you want to access the command line for phpmyadmin?
[01:41] <rip_> YlandeFaran: i'd try putting it back to normal, it *SHOULD* work, but you may have burned it out.  just unscrew the fan and turn it around backwards instead
[01:41] <meoblast> hi
[01:41] <Ishmael> HI!
[01:41] <YlandeFaran> ok, I'll try
[01:41] <HLM11> neeto: I need some way to create a database in mysql
[01:41] <YlandeFaran> thanks for the quick help guys! :)
[01:41] <sileni> nanotube: i beleive universal generalization does not apply in this case
[01:41] <orly_owl> Is there a PPA repo I can add to hardy sources.list to install KDE4?
[01:41] <Ishmael> how are you meoblast ?
[01:42] <IdleOne> sileni, Im to tired for this lol
[01:42] <rip_> YlandeFaran: np have fun :)
[01:42] <ashlessburn> lol i think if u are on a linux channel or pretty much in the "know" but sometimes not so much
[01:42] <nanotube> sileni: but it's /fun/ :)
[01:42] <ZiRiS> So. Anyone have knowledge of GRUB?
[01:42] <IdleOne> ZiRiS, #grub
[01:42] <ashlessburn> ziris: yes
[01:42] <Ishmael> what about grub?
[01:42] <ashlessburn> lol i hate lilo
[01:42] <meoblast> i ran the Ubuntu Live CD on this Pentium 4 multiple times and it runs slower than Vista on a P2... no big deal... i know how fast Ubuntu runs when it's off the hard disk... i had to test how well these drivers work using ndiswrapper and when i tested them.... i couldnt get them to work.... and when i kept trying... ubuntu locked up... here is my script i used to install http://rafb.net/p/bJAxIe21.html what is wrong with i
[01:42] <ZiRiS> I'm having this issue.....  I can't seem to get grub installed, even with super grub disk.
[01:43]  * Ishmael high fives ashlessburn
[01:43] <neunon> where are settings set by synclient/gsynaptics stored?
[01:43] <nanotube> sileni: just joshing you around. don't worry, i know it was offtopic and all. :)
[01:43] <ZiRiS> Well, sorta. It's installed into the partition, but on the mbr
[01:43] <ashlessburn> lol thank you ishmeal
[01:43] <Mech0zServer> anyone know a vnc server that dont require port forwarding from the router?
[01:43] <ashlessburn> mbr can be tricky are u dual booting?
[01:43] <neeto> HLM11: you should install mysql then. "sudo apt-get install mysql-admin mysql-common mysql-client mysql-server" in the command line will install what you need
[01:43] <WebcamWonder> Mech0zServer: That is not how vnc works
[01:43] <ZiRiS> yes, with Vista
[01:44] <ashlessburn> ahh i see did u set the part in vista?
[01:44] <sileni> meoblast: run those commands step by step and tell us what error pops up ?
[01:44] <tangentcollision> is there a default VNC server for ubuntu?
[01:44] <rip_> !o4o
[01:44] <Mech0zServer> WebcamWonder, what do you mean?
[01:44] <nanotube> Mech0zServer: thing is, if you have NAT, any vnc server will require port forwarding. otherwise, there's no way for packets to get inside the nat.
[01:44] <sileni> nanotube: i understand, i was bored also
[01:44] <Ishmael> ashlessburn, whax used lilo if i remember right, when i first booted up i was all "What the *beep* is this shit?"
[01:44] <meoblast> sileni: lol yeah right... and wait the 10 minutes to start Ubuntu again?
[01:44]  * ZiRiS looks at ashlessburn funny.
[01:44] <meoblast> sileni: sorry.. i got very frustrated
[01:44] <Mech0zServer> nanotube,  well if I use logmein.com I dont have to forward ports for that to work
[01:44] <sileni> meoblast: make a small partition then install ubuntu and try
[01:44] <meoblast> sileni: i'm looking for a non-touching ubuntu method
[01:44] <Mech0zServer> even though I am behind a router
[01:44] <neunon> where are settings set by synclient/gsynaptics stored?
[01:44] <ZiRiS> ashlessburn: I have ubuntu installed on a separate hard drive
[01:44] <ashlessburn> lol ziris are u setting through gparted or the vistata part
[01:44] <WebcamWonder> Mech0zServer: If you need to access the VNC server from outside the internal network, you NEED to forward the ports. That is the logic of entire vnc. And this is offtopic for this channel
[01:44] <DJNomad> I am having trouble in xubuntu
[01:44] <ashlessburn> ahh ok not same hdd
[01:45] <meoblast> sileni: ugh....... does it require a restart after installing the drivers?
[01:45] <meoblast> sileni: i remember doing that on my sisters system
[01:45] <DJNomad> disregard that typed min ago and got busy accidently hit enter
[01:45] <rip_> Mech0zServer: actually, there is a method, i can't remember the name of it, but there are several options where you can set up a proxy server, and have the client connect to that, that way it opens the port because its an outgoing connection rather than incoming.  then you connect tot he proxy as well
[01:45] <nanotube> Mech0zServer: i don't know what logmein.com is... but i suspect that what happens is that the remote machine connects to logmein, and your server also connects to logmein, and voila. so there are no /incoming/ connections to the server.
[01:45] <meoblast> sileni: i would rather not make a small partition.. prepare it.. .delete windows... repartition... too much room for error
[01:45] <WebcamWonder> nanotube: That is exactly how it works
[01:45] <neeto> HLM11: then once you have those things installed, setting up a new database is pretty easy. All you have to do is "sudo mysqladmin create databasename"
[01:45] <Mech0zServer> would there be something similar I could run on ubuntu then?
[01:45] <ashlessburn> ishmeal:i use lilo for backtrack if it wasnt for that i would have never used it
[01:45] <sileni> meoblast: do you have the broadcom .inf file already?
[01:46] <ncfi1013_> my ipod was working fine this morning. now i can't get it to mount. ive tried everything i can think of to get it to mount again. please help. can anybody tell me what this means and how to fix it? here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118226/
[01:46] <meoblast> sileni: yes and the sys file
[01:46] <WebcamWonder> Mech0zServer: Logmein has a linux addon for firefox, IIRC
[01:46] <ZiRiS> ashlessburn: I have been changing first boot drive from linux drive (ide) to vista drive (eSATA) when I want to go back and forth. GRUB has never been on the  vista drive.
[01:46] <nanotube> WebcamWonder: cool. nice to know that my knowledge of networks is still current. :)
[01:46] <meoblast> sileni: it claims it is installed and detected but it no networks appear in the network applet
[01:46] <sileni> meoblast: what happend when you ran that script?
[01:46] <sileni> when you did ifconfig did you see wlan0?
[01:46] <meoblast> sileni: read the post right above what you said and thats what happened :P
[01:46] <nanotube> Mech0zServer: well, if you want to roll your own 'logmein'-style thing, you'd still need a /server/ that sits outside your nat, and hosts that.
[01:46] <ashlessburn> well doign that u are asking for trouble try reading up on the grub part, u can actually boot vista and ubunut off grub
[01:47] <meoblast> sileni: :( do i have to start ubuntu again and do that?
[01:47] <HLM11> neeto: I tried EXACTLY what you said and the 2nd command didnt work "sudo mysqladmin create databasename"
[01:47] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: Could you pastebin, sudo fdisk -l, that pastebin is kinda confusing
[01:48] <Ishmael> i don't even think lilo recognized my windows partition i had installed, unless that's whax's problem for not adding it into lilo, but even after i manually went through and put it in, i remember it was still shitty
[01:48] <ZiRiS> ashlessburn: I also booted to the Kubuntu live cd, and ran the grub utility from there. It returned some sort of exit error 1, there must have been an error. and won't load GRUB to the mbr.
[01:48] <carpii> i didnt think anyone really used LILO anymore
[01:48] <Ishmael> i hope not
[01:48] <ashlessburn> ishmeal: unfort u are correct u have to open the lilo.conf fill to run other part in the same aspect or it will error out
[01:48] <Ishmael> not using it now, i just really hate it
[01:48] <ashlessburn> hmm seems u might want to look into rebuilding ur grub platform
[01:49] <carpii> why would you use it instead of GRUB ?
[01:49] <neeto> HLM11: it might my mysql-admin create databasename
[01:49] <nanotube> WebcamWonder: so, from your username, am i correct in guessing that you know something about webcams and v4l and all that good stuff? :)
[01:49] <ZiRiS> ashlessburn: I also booted to the ubuntu live cd and tried to reinstall grub from the apt utility.
[01:49] <redvamp128> ZiRiS: If that didn't work then you could try wingrub -- which uses the mbr to point to a grub loader to then load your os. WinGrub and Ubuntu <http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p9.html>
[01:49] <neeto> HLM11: depending on the version of mysql, they like to change the syntax for no reason :/
[01:49] <ashlessburn> i run backtrack 3 ubuntu and debian 4.0 off grub tried lilo and was unsucceful on my 64bit but on 32bit i had no issues
[01:49] <WebcamWonder> nanotube: I am a hypocrite, I don't even own a webcam :P
[01:49] <ashlessburn> and?
[01:49] <ncfi1013_> ok WebcamWonder here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118227/
[01:50] <nanotube> WebcamWonder: haha i see. too bad. :)
[01:50] <ashlessburn> i find that platforms are a real issue with grub and lilo
[01:50] <nanotube> WebcamWonder: (too bad because i have a webcam problem, that is. :) )
[01:50] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: Is it a 40 gig iPod?
[01:50] <WebcamWonder> nanotube: Did you check the regular factoid for Webcams?
[01:50] <ashlessburn> using seprate bt parts
[01:50] <ncfi1013_> no a 4 gig ipod
[01:50] <meoblast> sileni: i'm very confused on whether to waste another 10 minutes starting ubuntu or what
[01:50] <cpk1> I'm having a bit of a problem on my box running ubuntu-server, its acting as a router/firewall running shorewall and it seems to die after a random amount of time.  Looking at the logs though it seems like it might not be locking up, just the nics might be dying, unfortunately the logs don't really provide much information;  I need a way to get much more informative logging or maybe someone has had this problem before?
[01:51] <sileni> meoblast: do you have ethernet connection?
[01:51] <rotkeppchen> hmpf
[01:51] <WebcamWonder> cpk1: Perhaps a dmesg would help you diagnose?
[01:51] <ncfi1013_> WebcamWonder it is a 4 gig ipod
[01:51] <nanotube> WebcamWonder: hm, wel li didn't check the ubotu factoid... but i did do a fair bit of googling. well, let's see...
[01:51] <nanotube> !webcam
[01:51] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: Oops, sorry. My math was off, yeah 4 gig
[01:52] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: When you do a, mount, do you see the partition mounted?
[01:52] <ZiRiS> ashlessburn: I can try lilo from the supergrubdisk, see what happens.
[01:52] <bloodrock> ZiRiS, when you switch first drive to boot are you able to get into ubuntu
[01:52] <ashlessburn> ahh unless directly familar with lilo i do not suggest that
[01:53] <ZiRiS> bloodrock: no, it goes straight to vista.
[01:53] <meoblast> sileni: no
[01:53] <HLM11> where do I go for mysql help?
[01:53] <WaSeidel> hi i need some help, i try to install a tv card and finally i disable the sound but i don't know how i did that...
[01:53] <ashlessburn> lilo is not a easy br it is a vary complicted issue once learned it is fine but it is a process
[01:53] <bloodrock> ZiRiS,  even when you switch it to the linux drive?
[01:53] <meoblast> i just read "Configure ndiswrapper for use with the Network Admin settings - this adds an Alias to associate wlan0 to ndiswrapper in modprobe.d      *          sudo ndiswrapper -m"
[01:53] <meoblast> sileni: would that help?
[01:53] <ZiRiS> bloodrock: no, now it does nothing, absolutely nothing.
[01:54] <sileni> meoblast, well without having acess to what your computer really doing i don't know how we could fix this problem. Since its taking you 10 minutes to boot it up. I would suggest holding off on this
[01:54] <cpk1> WebcamWonder, thats what I am saying; logs dont have much information at all. the only thing that helped me a little was /var/log/messages told me about an unused module that was causing an error, still had the problem after unloading it though, looknig at messages it looks like the computer is still running even after I cant ping it anymore
[01:54] <sileni> meoblast: well if you had ethernet you could just boot up ubuntu and talk to us through that
[01:54] <meoblast> sileni: i'll toy around in it one more time i guess :/
[01:54] <wildbat> do anyknow how to fix lid button on nc6320? my laptop's lid button won't work until i suspend or powersaving timer turn off the screen once.....
[01:54] <sileni> meoblast: good luck
[01:54] <meoblast> sileni: thanx for the help though..... bye
[01:54] <sileni> meoblast: make sure ifconfig has wlan0
[01:54] <bloodrock> ZiRiS, did you install grub to the mbr or the linux partion
[01:55] <WebcamWonder> cpk1: And you don't have physical access to the PC I am assuming to, do a ifdown and ifup just to check. That could be a little tricky
[01:55] <ZiRiS> bloodrock: GRUB is missing from the MBR, and nothing I've done seems to get it in there. S.G.D. won't even put it in.
[01:55] <steelcityjim> can anyone tell me how to run a file that is in my downlaod folder
[01:55] <ashlessburn> iwconfig sileni
[01:55] <pan_> kqemu or virtualbox?
[01:55] <steelcityjim> its a tar.qz file
[01:55] <ncfi1013_> WebcamWonder it mounts in the new device notifier but not in amarok. more specifically amarok tells me that no mounted ipod was found. ive tried remounting it and remounting it and removing the old device and adding in a new device in amarok/settings/devices but nothing is working.
[01:55] <waseidel> hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable
[01:55] <sileni> ashlessburn: ah yes
[01:55] <ashlessburn> lol i forget too sometimes
[01:55] <ZiRiS> bloodrock: Yes. Both. But S.G.D. won't put it back in.
[01:55] <RHorse> steelcityjim: you have to first unpack it
[01:56] <nanotube> so, my webcam (sony eyetoy) works with cheese just fine, but not with ekiga. see this for details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6723444  any suggestions?
[01:56] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: But it is technically mounting it right? So if you goto /media/<your ipod's name>/, you can see all the contents?
[01:56] <sileni> nanotube: how can you handle the though of your computer looking at you the whole time you are on there!!!
[01:56] <waseidel> hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable
[01:56] <redvamp128> ZiRiS:  Try Wingrub WinGrub and Ubuntu <http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p9.html>  That way you keep your MBR intact and you can then point it to your ubuntu.
[01:57] <ZiRiS> bloodrock: S.G.D. took it out of the mbr - my mistake - trying to remove it from extra eSATA drive that is only there for storage. (Linux and S.G.D. both see all my drives as SCSI for some reason.)
[01:57] <cpk1> WebcamWonder, I have physical access, but getting a monitor hooked up is a little bit of a pain =\
[01:57] <nanotube> sileni: haha well, it's only fair - i am looking at it, so it's common courtesy to provide the comp with means to reciprocate :)
[01:57] <ZiRiS> redvamp128: Wilco.
[01:57] <sileni> nanotube: heh
[01:57] <RHorse> how does one mount a filesystem on another ubuntu computer in your network?
[01:57] <WebcamWonder> cpk1: Ahh. That could be tricky. Unfor. I have no expertise to share with you. You look like you know more than me in this kinda matter :)
[01:57] <LHC> hey
[01:58] <steelcityjim> can anyone help me install a downloaded file on my desktop?
[01:58] <LHC> on ubuntu how do I install a font pack so webpages are normal again
[01:58] <LHC> hey steelcityjim  lol
[01:58] <redvamp128> ZiRiS:  basiaclly what happens is one line added to boot.ini loads the wingrub which then points to the actual grub or linux distro and from there enjoy... and is easily removed-- remove one line from boot.ini and delete 2 files.
[01:58] <steelcityjim> yea long time no talk
[01:58] <RHorse> steelcityjim: first unpack it using gunzip and tar -xf file
[01:59] <ZiRiS> redvamp128: sweet! thx. I will def. try that! reading documentation now.
[01:59] <waseidel> hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable
[01:59] <steelcityjim> is gunzip in my applicatons?
[01:59] <redvamp128> ZiRiS:  and big wow-- leaves MBR intact
[01:59] <RHorse> steelcityjim: or click on it to start the gui thing.
[01:59] <LHC> anyone know about the font thing
[01:59] <steelcityjim> i have extracted the files
[01:59] <steelcityjim> I see 36 files
[01:59] <ncfi1013_> WebcamWonder type /media/DALE'S IPOD/ in terminal? apologies for the caps, that is the name of my ipod.
[02:00] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: Browse to /media/Dale's Ipod/
[02:00] <rotkeppchen> booooooring ;/
[02:00] <RHorse> steelcityjim: now find the executable one. It's prolly the name of the application
[02:01] <steelcityjim> is it an exe extenson?
[02:01] <RHorse> steelcityjim: or install
[02:01] <steelcityjim> what is the linux exectuable ext
[02:01] <nsadmin> there is no ext
[02:01] <RHorse> steelcityjim: what are you trying to run - what program/app?
[02:01] <ncfi1013_> ok did that and i can see all the contents
[02:02] <nsadmin> for example cat is just cat, not something like cat.com or cat.exe
[02:02] <ncfi1013_> WebcamWonder i did that and i can see all the contents
[02:02] <steelcityjim> im trying to load no-ip.com software for ssh
[02:02] <steelcityjim> i double clicked on the debian.sh file and it brought up gedit
[02:02] <RHorse> steelcityjim, ok, do you know how to get it thru the repos?
[02:02] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: That means that the problem lies with amarok. Not with the mounting. Amarok is not able to detect the iPod
[02:02] <steelcityjim> no
[02:03] <ncfi1013_> WebcamWonder if it being mounted everywhere else why is amarok not detecting it?
[02:03] <RHorse> steelcityjim: what distro are U using?
[02:03] <WebcamWonder> ncfi1013_: Possibly a bug with amarok
[02:03] <steelcityjim> ubuntu 8.1
[02:03] <steelcityjim> 0
[02:04] <ncfi1013_> WebcamWonder i mean it was working just this morning. how do i figure out what bug it is?
[02:04] <wers> is there an app that would amplify sound more than it's maximum volume? i want something like vlc's volume that goes more than 100%
[02:04] <Smegzor> I have plugged a pci wireless card into a new Ubuntu pc and the NetworkManager task is constantly eating 30% of the cpu.  After a while the pc locks up.  What can I do about NetworkManager?
[02:05] <RHorse> steelcityjim: ok go to a commandline and type: sudo apt-get update
[02:06] <steelcityjim> ok
[02:06] <steelcityjim> then what?
[02:06] <RHorse> steelcityjim: is this a proprietary program or part of the linux community?
[02:06] <endeavormac> what is the name of the process in ubuntu that does dns lookups?
[02:07] <ZiRiS> bloodrock: I have this problem with wingrub: Is designed for WinXP. Will not function with Vista - No Boot.ini to edit.
[02:07] <ha1331> is it possible to install window xp on KVM that runs on a server without X?
[02:08] <Smegzor> I can't disable the wireless network for some reason.  There is a tick box for this but it never unticks.  Neither does the wired network.
[02:08] <steelcityjim> im guessing proprietary
[02:08] <Smegzor> I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 32bit
[02:08] <steelcityjim> but don't know for sure
[02:08] <RHorse> steelcityjim: if it's proprietary and you really want to, you have to find the executable, make it executable by you and then run it. I can tell you how if you want.
[02:08] <node357> endeavormac, try the dig command
[02:09] <endeavormac> well, i'm trying to tunnel those dns requests out, but i can't find them
[02:09] <endeavormac> like, i don't know where they are originating
[02:09] <steelcityjim> would it be in the binaries?
[02:10] <RHorse> steelcityjim: if it's in the repos you can  find out by typing apt-cache search no-ip.
[02:10] <Ivanlul> Hello, I need help with the appearance settings, when I go to them I get this message: "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
[02:10] <Ivanlul> Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager."
[02:10] <jam3s2001> why doesn't ubuntu allow me to run several instances of the package manager?
[02:11] <crdlb> Ivanlul: you're using gnome?
[02:11] <Ivanlul> yeah
[02:11] <Gnea> jam3s2001: it's limitation on the package manager itself - you could screw the system up
[02:11] <Droopsta915> I want to download DOSbox, What download should I choose? rpm, binary (x86)?
[02:11] <crdlb> jam3s2001: because they could try to modify the dpkg db simultaneously?
[02:11] <bazhang> Droopsta915, from the repos
[02:11] <crdlb> Ivanlul: run gnome-settings-daemon in a terminal and see what happens
[02:11] <steelcityjim> ok i did that and a couple things came up
[02:11]  * jam3s2001 is a gentoo user... does not understand
[02:12] <joljam> how can I format a usb from command line to FAT32
[02:12] <Droopsta915> Nice didn't know Linux had it in the repos! Thank you
[02:12] <nickrud> Droopsta915, sudo apt-get install dosbox
[02:12] <Ivanlul> what do I type, gnome-settings-daemon?
[02:12] <nickrud> Droopsta915, linux doesn't, but ubuntu does ;)
[02:12] <RHorse> steelcityjim: what programs came up?
[02:12] <redvamp128> jam3s2001: -- even windows does not allow it--- what if 2 files are trying to be written to at the same time- would that not cause an issue.
[02:12] <steelcityjim> two one for dynamic dns server
[02:12] <Gnea> jam3s2001: it's a debian package management thing - it has a single database that it writes to - it's not downloading and compiling source code randomly all over the place - it takes the process and locks it in place, thus keeping the system sane
[02:12] <steelcityjim> one for client
[02:13] <jam3s2001> Gnea, thanks, I understand now.
[02:13] <Gnea> jam3s2001: cheers :)
[02:13] <RHorse> steelcityjim: what is the name of the client one?
[02:13] <steelcityjim> inadyn
[02:13] <Ivanlul> I typed gnome-settings-daemon into the terminal, and nothing happened
[02:13] <waseidel> hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable
[02:14] <crdlb> Ivanlul: did you get a prompt after that or is it still running in the foreground?
[02:14] <ncfi1013_> does anybody else have any suggestions to help me get amarok to detect my ipod?
[02:14] <Ivanlul> I didn't get anything
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> ncfi1013_: what gen ipod?
[02:15] <crdlb> Ivanlul: just a completely blank line?
[02:15] <joljam> need help formatting usb from command line
[02:15] <Ivanlul> yeah
[02:15] <RHorse> steelcityjim, check out this link:  http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/dynamic-dns-no-ip.html
[02:15] <ncfi1013_> IndyGunFreak 3rd gen 4 gb video
[02:15] <Ivanlul> I pasted it it then I just get my name again
[02:16] <Ivanlul> like the user@computer ect
[02:16] <crdlb> steelcityjim: if you have a router, you may be able to configure it to handle dynamic dns for you
[02:16] <crdlb> I find that more convienient than having an app run on a computer to do it
[02:17] <crdlb> Ivanlul: that's a prompt, which means it's exiting immediately
[02:17] <AETE_KRAOUD> hi
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> ncfi1013_: i think thats the prob
[02:17] <Ivanlul> ah alright
[02:17] <Ivanlul> What can I do then?
[02:18] <crdlb> Ivanlul: if you run 'killall gnome-settings-daemon', does everything turn ugly?
[02:18] <greaser> is there a special way to type out ftp usernames in linux? i've set up an ftp server with proftpd but it saus login incorrect
[02:18] <AETE_KRAOUD> where are in the filesystem mysql  stored in ubuntu?
[02:18] <AETE_KRAOUD> where are in the filesystem mysql  stored in ubuntu? is that /usr/share/mysql ?
[02:18] <Ivanlul> nop, looks the same
[02:18] <Ivanlul> it always looked kind of like windows 98
[02:18] <ncfi1013_> IndyGunFreak it worked this morning with this type ipod
[02:19] <AETE_KRAOUD> or in /usr/share/mysql/sql-bench/   ?
[02:19] <Droopsta915> Can I play nintendo roms on the dosbox?
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> ncfi1013_: it worked this morning?
[02:19] <crdlb> Ivanlul: it's windows 9x gray?
[02:19] <Ivanlul> yeah it's gray
[02:19] <ncfi1013_> yes IndyGunFreak
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> hm
[02:20] <bazhang> Droopsta915, no, zsnes or others will do
[02:20] <bazhang> oops
[02:20] <AETE_KRAOUD> because i want to chmod to add a user but i don't know where the tables of mysql are saved  in ubuntu
[02:21] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: what exactly do you mean with add a user and mysql?
[02:21] <Ivanlul> oh yeah, i forgot
[02:21] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: you want him to be able to access mysql?
[02:21] <Ivanlul> gnome-settings-daemon: no process killed
[02:21] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-,  : yes but i  am woried about security
[02:22] <chu_> So, Update Manager wants me to download all these kde updates... where can I find what depends on those updates and remove it, so I don't need to update :p
[02:22] <crdlb> Ivanlul: ok try: gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon
[02:22] <crdlb> it should actually print the error that way
[02:22] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: all that is done in mysql
[02:22] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: not in the system itself
[02:22] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : no no sorry
[02:22] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : i dont want to grant tables yet
[02:22] <Ivanlul> ok
[02:23] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : in my system i just want some testing first

[02:24] <mustangg> hey the chan. Are there any really good util for linux which can check drives top to bottom.. maybe a spinrite  of some sort for linux?
[02:25] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : but where are the directories  user_name /path/to/mysql/datadir  ?
[02:25] <ashlessburn> i like gparted for its ease of use but there are better out there
[02:25] <sammyF> anybody got madiwifi-0.9.4 to compile?
[02:25] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : in mysql site the only say bla bla /bla/path but where are the files of mysql exactly  please ?
[02:26] <mbrush001> any bash script experts out there?
[02:26] <blastron> Hello, I was recently entrusted with the task of remotely upgrading a machine running 7.04 Feisty and am running into problems using the update-manager: I've commented out all the nonexistent repositories and added the old-releases ones, but I can't seem to disable feisty-backports. Is there a configuration file I'm missing?
[02:26] <meoblast> hi
[02:26] <redvamp128> AETE_KRAOUD:  I think you are the one that asked this in the past about remoting from you work-- forgot to mention that you should check with your IT department if they even allow it-- and what they use for ports.
[02:26] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : i feel confused because i don't want to chmod +R in all the files but only in those neccesery
[02:26] <ashlessburn> do u need to be a exspert to run scripts?
[02:26] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: the reason to why they say /bla/bla is because the path is different on different systems
[02:26] <Ivanlul> crdlb: know anything I can do?
[02:26] <meoblast> hmmm is anyone here who was here last time i was explaining this issue im having? i don't feel like re explaining :P
[02:27] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: a huge difference between Unix and Linux environments
[02:27] <AETE_KRAOUD> redvamp128, : no sorry
[02:27] <crdlb> Ivanlul: bus error makes it sound like dbus isn't running
[02:27] <sammyF> meoblast: that's not going to help ;)
[02:27] <crdlb> Ivanlul: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:27] <Ivanlul> 8.10
[02:27] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : but in ubuntu there is a default directory e?
[02:27] <meoblast> sammyF: i was going to wait a second, and if no one responded, reexplain :P
[02:28] <sammyF> anybody succeeded in compiling madwifi for 2.6.27-7 ?
[02:28] <ashlessburn> yes
[02:28] <sammyF> meoblast: good tactic ;)
[02:28] <ashlessburn> sammyf
[02:28] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : i installed mysql from the repositories and it is empty it contains only the example databases
[02:28] <flint> any idea how my up arrow got remapped to print screen in ubuntu?
[02:28] <flaviocpontes> Anyone can help me? I messed up ALSA in my dad's notebook trying to install an hda-intel modem.
[02:28] <Ivanlul> I did a clean install about 2 hours ago
[02:28] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: the path you are probably looking for here is /usr/share/mysql/
[02:28] <sammyF> ashlessburn: hmm ... did you do anything special except installing build-essential?
[02:29] <RHorse> doh!
[02:29] <IntuitiveNipple> What is the procedure when a dist-upgrade is interrupted because a remote ssh connection drops - no way to know where it got to
[02:29] <martin__> fuuu any on help in - es fuuu
[02:29] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : i suspected that path too
[02:29] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: however why someone would put that on a normal user level is beyond me
[02:29] <martin__> pls join ubuntu-es
[02:29] <ashlessburn> flaviopontes: try using the ndisgtk wrapper and if u are having issues see if it is a vista only driver and look for the modded .ink file
[02:29] <ashlessburn> not really sammf
[02:30] <sammyF> IntuitiveNipple: btw. in case you remember me : the network not working is a new feature they introduced in the -11 kernel. returning to -7 helped
[02:30] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : i just want to follow the mysql manual word by word
[02:30] <meoblast> i ran this script http://rafb.net/p/bJAxIe21.html and realized it hung at "sudo depmod -a" so i skipped that and continued manually entering the rest of the script and also ran "sudo ndiswrapper -n" and instead of adding wlan0 it removed eth0 leaving me with only lo..... what does that mean?
[02:30] <meoblast> i'm getting really sick of booting this live CD
[02:30] <Ivanlul> crdlb: should I reinstall dbus?
[02:30] <meoblast> it's SLOW
[02:30] <flaviocpontes> ashlessburn: I'll try it as soon as I can, but what I need now is to get sound working again
[02:30] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : anyway thanks
[02:30] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: why?
[02:30] <int256> how to install compiz settings manager
[02:30] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: why follow it word by word?
[02:30] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-,  :for your time :-)
[02:30] <sammyF> ashlessburn: sigh. thanks. running into a compiling error
[02:30] <int256> pls tell the command
[02:30] <IntuitiveNipple> sammyF: Hmm, I was dealing with a similar issue the other day... Is your network interface an atheros by any chance?
[02:30] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : to get used to secured mysql :-)
[02:30] <RHorse> flaviocpontes: try uninstall reinstall alsa-base?
[02:30] <MaxRide> Question:  Does anyone know what channel is best for non-technical (Off-topic) Linux/Ubuntu dicussion? (IE: Certification)
[02:31] <sammyF> IntuitiveNipple: yep. Aspire One
[02:31] <ashlessburn> sammf: did u try re running some times it is just a "error"
[02:31] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: ummmm
[02:31] <bazhang> !ccsm | int256
[02:31] <crdlb> Ivanlul: run 'ps aux | grep dbus-daemon'
[02:31] <ashlessburn> flaviopontes: what sound are u using
[02:31] <Ivanlul> with the ''s?
[02:31] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: just set a root password for it and then work with the security.....
[02:31] <crdlb> Ivanlul: no
[02:31] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : it is most important than the delete insert * etc :-)
[02:31] <flaviocpontes> hda-intel on an inspiron 1525
[02:31] <IntuitiveNipple> sammyF: aha! Yes, we're working on that. It's caused by the madwifi driver jumping in and partially taking over the device but then ath5k wants to grab it too
[02:31] <flaviocpontes> ashlessburn: hda-intel on an inspiron 1525
[02:31] <ashlessburn> hmm what chipset is that
[02:31] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : of cource i did already that :-)
[02:31] <IntuitiveNipple> sammyF: Let me find the bug report for you
[02:32] <crdlb> Ivanlul: there should be a dbus-daemon with --session in its argument list, do you see it?
[02:32] <sammyF> ashlessburn: yeah .. cleaned the make dirs, tried telling make the plattform to build for .. no chance
[02:32] <Ivanlul> yeah
[02:32] <scizzo-> AETE_KRAOUD: right....good luck then

[02:32] <ashlessburn> ahh i see try reading the forums. that seems not to common issue i wih i new the chipset fo rit is it on board or card
[02:33] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-,  : in the mysql site the claim that is safer to run mysql as a user in your system with tha mysql safe & command
[02:33] <JdGordon> has anyone had problems with gnome-power-manager freezing up every so often on your laptop?
[02:33] <AETE_KRAOUD> scizzo-, : but i have also make the right permissions :(

[02:40] <judget_> How can i find the ports ID on my agp dual port video card?
[02:40] <Ivanlul> crdlb: so you want me to type install d-feet or what? I did that and I got this: install: missing destination file operand after `d-feet'
[02:40] <meoblast> now i see why the world doesnt use Ubuntu.... it doesnt run on 66% of computers
[02:40] <ashlessburn> meoblast: thats not true
[02:40] <crdlb> Ivanlul: sudo apt-get install d-feet
[02:41] <ashlessburn> just take time
[02:41] <judget_> I have had great luck with Ubuntu
[02:41] <Ivanlul> the world doesn't use it because most computers come with windows
[02:41] <crdlb> or you could use a graphical package manager
[02:41] <MaxRide> meoblast: Well, neither does Vista, I'm sure.
[02:41] <sammyF> meoblast it doesn't?
[02:41] <judget_> U mean winblows?
[02:41] <IntuitiveNipple> top 66% or bottom 66% ?
[02:41] <meoblast> i have only converted 1 person because i cant get it to work on anyone elses
[02:41] <ashlessburn> lol debian or backtrack doesnt work with most compaw but yet i have both installed
[02:41] <cpk1> meoblast, 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' didnt bring eth0 back?
[02:41] <sammyF> meoblast: I still need to find a computer on which I wasn't able to install at least a barebone ubuntu or puppy install
[02:42] <judget_> Is there a better forum to ask about Xinerama on?
[02:42] <MaxRide> I've had issues installing Ubuntu on many of my older PCs and laptops, but given the right hardware it works out of the box (Or, out of the CD...since it doesn't come in a box).
[02:42] <IntuitiveNipple> What is the procedure when a dist-upgrade is interrupted because a remote ssh connection drops - no way to know where it got to
[02:42] <JdGordon> does anyone know how cpu scaling works with single core hyperthreaded cpu's? the gnome app shows that both "cpu's" can be at different speeds, butt hats doesnt make sense?
[02:42] <Ivanlul> crdlb: Okay I opened the debugger
[02:42] <Dr_willis> half my pc's cant run windows XP any more.. due to lack of drivers. :)
[02:42] <ashlessburn> jdgordon:u can adjust that
[02:42] <crdlb> Ivanlul: file -> connect to session bus
[02:43] <cyberfab007> hello room
[02:43] <Ivanlul> crdlb: alright, what now?
[02:43] <cyberfab007> can some one point me in the right dirction in sratrting the ssh server on ubuntu
[02:43] <meoblast> why do companies not make linux drivers for wireless cards?
[02:43] <IntuitiveNipple> Dr_willis: You'd love what I saw on the linux-kernel mailing list earlier... the kernel seeing a years-old 240MB drive as 1.2 TB !
[02:43] <meoblast> broadcom can go die
[02:43] <crdlb> Ivanlul: did that put a whole bunch of 'org.something' entries in the left column?
[02:43] <JdGordon> ashlessburn: no, I mean, in my understanign of HT both threads should be at the same speed no? so what speed is the cpu actually at.. which cpu needs to be at powersave to force the speed
[02:43] <Ivanlul> Dr_willis: I did a clean install of windows like half a week ago
[02:43] <meoblast> and so can belkin
[02:43] <Ivanlul> crdlb: yes
[02:43] <ashlessburn> it varies in window its more of a coop but in linux it is a as needed
[02:44] <crdlb> Ivanlul: ok, dbus is working fine, so the problem is somewhere else :/
[02:44] <MaxRide> meoblast: I'm running EEEBuntu (On an HP Mini) with Broadcom drivers.
[02:44] <ashlessburn> and meoblast bc windows own everything...good luck finding windows xp drivers anymore
[02:44] <Dr_willis> IntuitiveNipple,  now thats the new 'disk-compression' feature! :)
[02:44] <Ivanlul> crdlb: where else do you wanna look
[02:44] <ashlessburn> i had to manually mod my inf file in vista to put xp on my comp
[02:44] <cyberfab007> how do I turn on ssh access to a ubuntu install
[02:45] <wildbat> do anyknow how to fix lid button on nc6320? my laptop's lid button won't work until i suspend or powersaving timer turn off the screen once.....
[02:45] <cyberfab007> in fedora it is service sshd start
[02:45] <cyberfab007> how I do in ubuntu
[02:45] <ashlessburn> jdgordon: u are fine. u will only see it when u need it
[02:45] <jrib> !ssh | cyberfab007
[02:45] <Dr_willis> meoblast,  ive noticed that windows 7 no longer has drivers for  a large % of my hardware also. So to each their own. :(
[02:45] <ashlessburn> amen dr
[02:45] <ashlessburn> lol
[02:45] <IntuitiveNipple> Dr_willis: lol yeah... shame it was only a mirage... the problem turned out to be, that libata uses the drive's ATA ID block, words 57-58, to determine the number of sectors.  I needed the latest svn version
[02:46] <qcjn> hi, if i want to reinstall. I could just copy my home folder on another hd i have and leave it there, so i ll have my new installation with my home on another hd. But i still will lose a couple of configuration, like xorg.conf , mpd, and other things that i don t remember. Right !
[02:46] <ashlessburn> ahh yes what are u running
[02:46] <Dr_willis> meoblast,  ive not even heard the actual problem.. just ranting.. and other OT discussion..  So i cant really comment.
[02:46] <cyberfab007> ok I did that with the ssh " commmand ssh localhost
[02:46] <cyberfab007> it said conenction refused
[02:46] <Ivanlul> Apple needs to release itunes for linux
[02:46] <Darko> make a seperate /home partition
[02:46] <ammagendut> help me.. i cant open .rar files
[02:46] <MaxRide> qcjn:  It's not quite that simple...but sort of.
[02:47] <cbill> we dont need itunes :)
[02:47] <sammyF> Ivanlul: hmm ... try Amarok and say that again ;)
[02:47] <Darko> sudo apt-get install rar
[02:47] <qcjn> MaxRide: ok
[02:47] <ammagendut> thanks
[02:47] <sammyF> ammagendut: install unrar
[02:47] <ashlessburn> im sure u heard of the phrase "watch the world burn" well that be microsoft my friend
[02:47] <sammyF> oops.. was a bit late
[02:47] <Darko> erm thats what i meant unrar lol
[02:48] <meoblast> Dr_willis: i ran http://rafb.net/p/bJAxIe21.html and it hung at "sudo depmod -a".. so i skipped that step and ran the rest manually... then ran "sudo ndiswrapper -n" and then did "ifconfig" and not only was there no wlan0 but also no eth0.... leaving me only with lo... i can't get the stupid driver to work
[02:48] <theshadow> Folowing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros I installed the necessary packages. The drivers are enabled. I don't get whats supposed to happen next. Is the network manager supposed to detect the card?
[02:48] <bonhoffer> http://pastie.textmate.org/389512 <-- can't install python setup tools
[02:48] <cyberfab007> use command ssh localhost it is telling me connection refused ,
[02:48] <qcjn> because i have a problem with my system and i was thinking that it could be easier to reinstall then mess around
[02:48] <Ivanlul> sammyF: alright I'll do that later, but first I have to fix my gnome setting manager
[02:48] <cyberfab007> how do  I start this ssh server
[02:48] <meoblast> Dr_willis: and the ubuntu forums are down once a-freaking-gain
[02:48] <crdlb> Ivanlul: please put everything you get from  gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon  on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[02:49] <MaxRide> qcjn: According to the Linux+ book, it's good to back up /etc /home /opt /root /var /srv ....although it might just be easier to go with just /home
[02:49] <crdlb> theshadow: which atheros chip do you have?
[02:49] <Darko> sometimes laptop cards can be wlan0 eth1 ra0 ath0 ...
[02:49] <sammyF> meoblast: do you get an error on depmod?
[02:50] <qcjn> MaxRide: thats backing up almost everything
[02:50] <Ivanlul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/118248/
[02:50] <MaxRide> qcjn: Well, yea.
[02:51] <theshadow> crdlb: not sure. I was trying to find the ubuntu wiki entry for wireless but couldn't find it for 8.10 So I searched for the laptop model which told me I had that chipset :S
[02:51] <crdlb> theshadow: lspci | grep -i ethernet  should tell you
[02:51] <crdlb> if not, look through the full output of lspci
[02:51] <qcjn> MaxRide: i don t know, backing up youre whole system seems paranoia a bit.. no
[02:51] <fga> Hi
[02:51] <Aquina> bye
[02:51] <MaxRide> qcjn: I've never heard of anybody "accidently" backing up too many files.
[02:51] <meoblast> sammyF: no it just hangs... it never ends
[02:52] <meoblast> sammyF: ubuntu ussually locks up before it is done
[02:52] <MaxRide> qcjn: Forgetting to back something up, I hear all the time....plus you'll have a reference for any custom configs on your system.
[02:52] <sammyF> meoblast: a shot in the dark, but have you tried adding -v  to get some verbose output?
[02:52] <Ivanlul> crdlb: did you get it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/118248/
[02:52] <Dr_willis> MaxRide,  my wife had 10x copies of her vacation pictures all in nested subdirs.. does that count? :)
[02:52] <crdlb> Ivanlul: ok, do it again with: gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon --debug
[02:52] <theshadow> crdlb: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[02:53] <Ishmael> how accurate is the virus scanner?  is it updated regularly?
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: do  you have wired access w/ ubuntu on that machine?
[02:53] <Dr_willis> Ishmael,  which virus scanner? Check its homepage?
[02:53] <MaxRide> Dr_willis:  ...Heh...I'd choose a different strategy, but I get worried if my pics are only on 2 mediums...I like to have 3 or more...
[02:53] <Ishmael> clamTK
[02:53] <sammyF> theshadow: for atheros stuff, you might want to try the madwifi drivers. check http://madfi-project.org
[02:53] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: yea thats how I'm here right now :p
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: 32bit?
[02:53] <meoblast> sammyF: no
[02:53] <crdlb> theshadow: I have the same one in one computer; you just need to go to hardware drivers and enable "support for 5xxx series of atheros ..."
[02:54] <Ivanlul> crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118251/
[02:54] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: yea
[02:54] <fga> i've got strange connection issues (under Ibex) - my laptop has intel 3945
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: he has to install the backporst.
[02:54] <meoblast> sammyF: but the thought of restarting gave me a horrible frown
[02:54] <Ishmael> theshadow, for atheros support, the backtrack guys normally have lots to help
[02:54] <theshadow> I installed the madwifi-tools but I couldn't find any other details about what to do
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: first, system/admin/hardware drivers.. you should have 1 option there for atheros, right?
[02:54] <theshadow> crdlb: I did that...
[02:54] <meoblast> sammyF: i've been on here for 2 hours mostly waiting for Ubuntu to start up
[02:54] <fga> connection seems to be fine (with NM) but actually nothing happens (dns do not respond)
[02:54] <meoblast> brb
[02:55] <qcjn> MaxRide: and it s all the messin around of doing all those back up, i have difficulties makin just the important backup
[02:55] <theshadow> It says the 5x is enabled
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: you shouldn't need madwifi with that device
[02:55] <MaxRide> meoblast: Are you sure it didn't hang?
[02:55] <crdlb> in fact, madwifi doesn't work with that device afaict :)
[02:55] <L33T-1> hello
[02:55] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: fair enough. But the network manager doesn't seem to think there is wireless
[02:55] <MaxRide> meoblast: If using a LiveCD...is the drive still being accessed or did it settle down? You may need to use the Alternate.
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: it doesn't... but madwifi isn't going to fix it.
[02:56] <Ishmael> yeah, lol, even with the slow cd-rom i have, it didn't take that long
[02:56] <qcjn> MaxRide: i know that if you<re geek enough you can use rsync, but everybody isn t
[02:56] <Ishmael> and this is a cd from an old rack-mounted server
[02:56] <sammyF> crdlb: hmm .. just thinking it might have helped, as I'm compiling madwifi due to my atheros onboard wifi adapter right now ;)
[02:56] <MaxRide> qcjn: What type of medium are you going to use?
[02:56] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: again. I can understand that. But what do I do next? Thats what I've been trying to figure out.
[02:56] <meoblast> MaxRide: i said i think it hung
[02:56] <Ishmael> iwconfig
[02:56] <Ishmael> iwconfig ath0 up
[02:56] <qcjn> MaxRide: hard disk
[02:56] <meoblast> what's this ssb driver?
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: well,.. what do you have in sys/admin/hardware drivers
[02:57] <fga> is it normal that the cmd route takes 30 seconds to display the default route ?
[02:57] <MaxRide> meoblast: Try using the alternate CD...
[02:57] <meoblast> better idea... i will make a small install of ubuntu and growitize it later
[02:57] <meoblast> brb
[02:57] <zsquareplusc> fga: use route -n if you dont like waiting for DNS requests
[02:57] <evilGUI> I put I added ServerAliveInterval 120 to my ssh config and I still get Read from remote host : Connection reset by peer
[02:57] <martin__> tnx
[02:57] <fga> yeah, that's the problem - the dns are unreachable
[02:57] <MaxRide> qcjn: If your backing up to a dedicated harddrive, just use acronis to clone the entire install to the other drive.
[02:57] <MK13> is there a network guru currently available? My situation is too long to chat in the room.
[02:58] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: It shows a green light next to "Suport for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards." and "Support for Atheros 802.11 Wireless LAN Cards."
[02:58] <evilGUI> after a few mintutes it wasn't this way until today I installed ufw and denyhosts.
[02:58] <qcjn> MaxRide: i ll look at that
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: disable the second one.. "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards"
[02:58] <evilGUI> Would any of those cause this problem?
[02:58] <L33T-1> anyone know of a good dreamweaver like IDE I could use?
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: then restart, and see if your wireless works
[02:59] <theshadow> ok brb
[02:59] <anarchman1> Hi, I was trying to dual-boot windows and linux and my partition / boot table now seems to be messed up and I am unable to boot windows (NTLDR is missing error) or to boot my Linux partition (it just goes straight to the windows boot), however I am currently running on a Live CD, can anyone help?
[02:59] <MaxRide> qcjn: Do a torrent search for "Hiren's boot CD" (If your into that) or just "Acronis"....cloning is VERY easy (Although, easy to make stupid mistakes as well)
[02:59] <mhall1191> Can someone test a torrent file for me?  I'm trying to figure out how to see an original file
[02:59] <batman_ramirez> hello... i have a network of computers with an ip of 192.xxx.xx.xx each one... the router is 200.xxx.xx .. if i wanna use vnc on one of these computers from other network with ip i have to use??
[02:59] <MaxRide> anarchman1: Copy NTLDR off a good computer to a floppy and try again
[03:00] <crdlb> Ivanlul: I'm pretty stumped, but I'll keep looking
[03:00] <evilGUI> Getting disconnected every 5 minutes sucks :/
[03:00] <Ivanlul> aalright'
[03:00] <anarchman1> MaxRide: Ok, what will be my step to getting into Linux though?
[03:00] <anarchman1> MaxRide: As I don't care about the windows partition I just need to save my Ubuntu partition
[03:00] <zsquareplusc> batman_ramirez: the routers, IP and you have to set the router to forward the connection
[03:00] <Ivanlul> I'ma restart my computer, brb
[03:01] <L33T-1> anarchman i think you need to install windows first then you need to install linux
[03:01] <MaxRide> anarchman1: Well, I'm actually kind of wondering how that happened....Ubuntu should have installed GRUB for you (EEEBuntu did for me at least)...Anyways, let me look up how to get grub working.
[03:01] <anarchman1> L33T-1: but Linux is already installed
[03:01] <L33T-1> if you have linux in there first then you have to start over i think
[03:01] <anarchman1> MaxRide: Grub was installed fine
[03:01] <qcjn> hey, i ve just tought that under window you ve got this feature that you can go back to date before you did some changes, don t remember the name. Does ubuntu have that
[03:01] <MaxRide> anarchman1: But it's still trying to use the windows bootloader?
[03:02] <sammyF> anarchman1: you might want to check supergrub. it can restore grub after installing windows I think
[03:02] <Dr_willis> qcjn,  not in the same way. No.. of course ive rarely had that feature WORK under windows either...
[03:02] <MaxRide> sammyf: Thanks, that's probably his best bet.
[03:02] <anarchman1> MaxRide: After installing Linux, I tried to get Windows to dual boot because it was not, I ran the Recovery Console and tried fixboot. This broke grub I believe
[03:02] <cpk1> !rescue
[03:02] <anarchman1> sammyF: Ok I will try that, can I apt-get that?
[03:02] <Mechdave> anarchman1, You need to make a grub floppy and boot using that after you install windows, then you need to re install grub and then add the line for windows in menu.lst
[03:02] <MaxRide> anarchman1:  Yes, that sounds about right....FIXBOOT writes over the linux bootloader.
[03:02] <sammyF> anarchman1: no.It's a (very small) iso. you boot from it
[03:03] <anarchman1> this machine does not have a floppy drive
[03:03] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: Alright now the first driver says "This driver is activated but not currently in use"
[03:03] <cpk1> anarchman1, just boot from your ubuntu cd and do the rescue option
[03:03] <cpk1> !grub
[03:03] <Mechdave> anarchman1, use a usb stick then
[03:03] <sammyF> anarchman1: you can get it from here : http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[03:03] <batman_ramirez> zsquareplusc: then from where i connect... i used the router ip... and i have to specify and forward the pc ip im gonna use right?
[03:03] <dusting> could anybody help me out with getting my external hard drive to work with ubuntu?
[03:03] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: the 5xxx one
[03:03] <anarchman1> Ok thanks all for the help, I will try the live cd rescue, and the lost grub instructions
[03:04] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: yes
[03:04] <anarchman1> I cannot try anything that involves a floppy as I don't have one, nor a usb stick
[03:04] <Mechdave> anarchman1, see --> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/general-10/how-to-restore-grub-after-win-xp-install-446952/
[03:04] <Droopsta915> Does transmission BitTorrent client use alot of cpu power?
[03:04] <zsquareplusc> batman_ramirez: yes.  and you know that vnc is not encrypted? so for connection over internet, i'd use an ssh tunnel
[03:04] <L33T-1> anyone know of a good IDE for web design, dreamweaver like ?
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: ok... it shouldn't be like that... can you uninstall madwifi, and undo any changes you've made?
[03:04] <cpk1> anarchman1, you have all the tools already to restore you grub, the cd you used to install ubuntu
[03:04] <cbill> transmission is quite lite
[03:04] <Mechdave> anarchman1, do you have a cd burner?
[03:04] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: thats a lot to check on let me see
[03:04] <IndyGunFreak> i understand..
[03:05] <anarchman1> Mechdave: yes, but as cpk1 is saying, maybe i can run the rescue from my livecd?
[03:05] <jsquared> how do I get a list of packages that I've explicitly installed (as opposed to *all* of the ones currently installed)? is that even possible?
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: well, we can try soethng before you do that
[03:05] <anarchman1> cpk1: thanks I will try running the rescue, i assume that is an option on boot up?
[03:05] <batman_ramirez> zsquareplusc: thx ill keep that in my mind
[03:05] <cpk1> anarchman1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub read that it will tell you how to reinstall grub
[03:05] <jsquared> ideally I'd like to write this out to a text file and run it later
[03:05] <cpk1> anarchman1, you might have to change the bios to boot from cd before trying to boot from the hard drive
[03:05] <crdlb> !clone | jsquared
[03:06] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: Ok I removed everything I installed except for linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[03:06] <anarchman1> ok thanks heading off to try these now
[03:06] <theshadow> want me to remove that one too?
[03:06] <[ucb]kevin> help! im trying to install the latest version of MINT (v.6) and i run into partition error
[03:06] <Mechdave> anarchman1, you can although I have not done it from the later live disks
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: honestly, that should be the only thing you need installed to make that device work(i have it on 3 different laptops)
[03:07] <theshadow> let me remove and reinstall it
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: did you modprobe anything, etc...?
[03:07] <jsquared> crdlb: won't that get packages that get installed as a dependency, though?
[03:07] <theshadow> nope
[03:07] <theshadow> I was working to avoid doing any of that
[03:07] <crdlb> theshadow: make sure you haven't done any of the blacklist stuff on that guide you linked to
[03:07] <cpk1> jsquared, aptitude tells you if something was autmatically installed
[03:07] <mun> hi
[03:07] <theshadow> I didn't do any of that
[03:07] <tsrk> What are the security risks involved with disabling the sudo password prompt on an account?
[03:07] <mun> if i want to decrement $i in a shell script, do i have to do ((i=i-1))?
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> theshadow: ok, you probably don't need to reinstall the backports just after youv'e removed all the other nonsense (madwifi, ndiswrapper, anythign else you tried), restart
[03:07] <dusting> my external isn't being seen by ubuntu but my imac and my vista both see it fine and i'm not sure why...it's formatted FAT32...can anyone give me some pointers?
[03:07] <MK13> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/118254/plain/     -        Anyone got a solution for this?
[03:07] <theshadow> IndyGunFreak: will do
[03:08] <jsquared> cpk1: and I can write out to a text file the list of packages the things that were manually installed?
[03:08] <theshadow> brb again
[03:08] <[ucb]kevin> is there a channel or server designated to MINT?
[03:08] <redvamp128> MK13:  why not just static and be done deal?
[03:09] <MK13> afraid Vista will freak out if it isnt done "it's" prefered way
[03:09] <Ivanipod> Crdld are u there
[03:09] <cbill> dusting, is it visiable in "computer"?
[03:09] <redvamp128> MK13:  then static vista too
[03:09] <misty>  cv
[03:10] <MK13> the vista computer gets moved around too much for that
[03:10] <mun> if i want to decrement $i in a shell script, do i have to do ((i=i-1))? is there another way?
[03:10] <Ivanipod> Crdld I'm at the ubuntu log on window and it's blue
[03:10] <batman_ramirez> zsquareplusc: thanks it works pretty good
[03:10] <MaxRide> MK13: There should be a tab in Vista to set locations for networking....like an alternate TCP/IP config if the first one fails...
[03:10] <dusting> cbill, in computer i just see my cd/dvd drive and filesystem
[03:11] <MK13> ahhh, I'll check that out real quick

[03:11] <MaxRide> MK13: I know the feature exists, and it's in TCP/IP properties for the NIC, but you'll have to find it.
[03:11] <fga> ok, found a problem with the network ...
[03:11] <[ucb]kevin> help! im trying to install the latest version of MINT (v.6) and i run into partition error
[03:11] <cbill> dusting, it should be seen, fat32 is supported, try repowering the devise?
[03:12] <n2diy> +++++++++++++++++++++6
[03:12] <crdlb> Ivanipod: what do you mean?
[03:13] <anarchman1> Hi, I tried the recovering Ubuntu after installing Windows instructions, and when in grub and run the command "find /boot/grub/stage1" or "find /grub/stage1" I get Error 15: File not Found"
[03:13] <cpk1> jsquared, I think that command that crdlb gave you will do what you want, aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' should list installed packages that werent automatic and then the other half just redirects it to a file, you can change the location it redirects to
[03:14] <blastron> Sorry for asking a question about an out-of-support version, but I'm having issues upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10. The update-manager keeps failing to get the upgrade prerequisites, citing that it cannot find the feisty-backports server. I can't find the feisty-backports entry in sources.list, where can I go to disable it?
[03:14] <Ivanipod> Cldlb I was at the log in window
[03:14] <dusting> cbill, i've repowered it and plugged it in/unplugged it numerous times and it hasn't helped thus far
[03:14] <redvamp128> sammyF:  why not the Ultimate boot cd it also has the supergrub disk tools on it
[03:15] <cbill> dusting, do you have a windows box avail? could you plug in to that, do a proper dismount, and try again?
[03:15] <Ivanlul> okay
[03:15] <jtrivedi> hell all,
[03:15] <Ivanlul> Back on my computer
[03:15] <anarchman1> cpk1: I was unable to follow your suggestion as I get a File Not Found error when trying find /boot/grub/stage1
[03:15] <Ivanlul> that was me on the ipod btw
[03:15] <jtrivedi> sorry - that was a typo
[03:15] <jtrivedi> hello all
[03:15] <MrGoodkat_> blastron, feisty is not supported anymore
[03:15] <crdlb> Ivanlul: I figured
[03:15] <MrGoodkat_> you can download the gutsy alternate cd and use this cd to upgrade
[03:16] <ashlessburn> u scan
[03:16] <ashlessburn> but not to the ability u are looking for i believe
[03:16] <MrGoodkat_> just burn the alternate and when you insert it ubuntu will ask you if you want to upgrade
[03:16] <dusting> cbill, what exactly do you mean by "proper"? i can't just unplug the usb? and yes i have the windows pc available
[03:16] <blastron> MrGoodkat_: Alright, I'll try that, thanks.
[03:16] <cpk1> anarchman1, what about /grub/stage1?
[03:16] <lelek> a
[03:16] <cbill> dusting, correct, safely remove hardware
[03:16] <Ivanlul> hm
[03:16] <redvamp128> MK13:  I was looking for a tool for that I saw a while ago-- to allow multiple configurations for a network manager-.
[03:16] <crdlb> Ivanlul: I just realized that Bus error is a low-level error similar to a segfault, not anything related to dbus, so there's some sort of bug in gnome-settings-daemon that you're hitting
[03:16] <cbill> dusting, never just remove a usb device ;)
[03:17] <Ivanlul> crdlb: alright, what can I do?
[03:17] <dusting> cbill, oops alright i'll try that brb
[03:17] <MaxRide> dusting: Windows sometimes caches data to be written to USB, "Safely Remove Hardware" checks to make sure all the files are in the drive before you pull it out.
[03:17] <cbill> dusting, kk
[03:17] <Ivanlul> crdlb: I tried reinstalling dbus too
[03:18] <crdlb> Ivanlul: you said that this is a fresh install from a few hours ago?
[03:18] <Ivanlul> crdlb: yeah pretty much
[03:18] <Ivanlul> crdlb: + I've installed all the new updates
[03:19] <crdlb> Ivanlul: did you run the integrity checker on the install cd to make sure there wasn't a burn error?
[03:19] <anarchman1> cpk1: also did not work, same error
[03:19] <tsuna27> how can i change the caps of compiz cube, I can change the skydome but not the tops/bottoms
[03:19] <Ivanlul> crdlb: nope
[03:19] <Ivanlul> crdlb: Should I go run it right now to rule it out?
[03:20] <crdlb> Ivanlul: yeah
[03:20] <cpk1> interesting...
[03:20] <Royall> What is the channel for general hardware help?
[03:20] <Ivanlul> okay
[03:20] <Ivanlul> I'ma be on my ipod
[03:20] <tsuna27> !compiz
[03:20] <Ivanipod> Hm
[03:20] <Nasra> guys ...have a stupid question ...what application do I use to read / work in Ubuntu for Excel?
[03:21] <Nasra> thanks
[03:21] <cbill> nasra, calc
[03:21] <Ivanlul> openoffice
[03:21] <Nasra> I am new
[03:21] <deathtech> Hello all! I have Successfully installed the latest Nvidia Drivers (180.29) and was wondering if anyone knew the most recent up to date method for enabling SLi (8700 M GT's Mbile)
[03:21] <Royall> Nasra: open office
[03:21] <Nasra> okay
[03:21] <evilGUI> I have a problem where my SSH connection dies after about 5 minutes this problem only started today.
[03:21] <sunset> hello everyone
[03:21] <Royall> Nasra: open office usually comes with Ubuntu, if you try to open an excel file it should open up in open office
[03:21] <evilGUI> I get connection reset by peer I installed ufw and denyhosts today.
[03:22] <sunset> I was wondering if anyone could help me set up my .exe files using ubuntu
[03:22] <evilGUI> oh and fwanalog also.
[03:22] <dusting> cbill, safely removed the external but get same result
[03:22] <Nasra> cbill | Royal thanks alot
[03:22] <maxride_> =./  Now my nick's ghosted and I can't remember the password.
[03:22] <Ivanipod> I'm pretty much heading to using ubuntu 24/7
[03:22] <evilGUI> sunset: sudo apt-get install wine
[03:22] <cbill> dusting, was detected in windows fine though?
[03:22] <Ivanipod> I installed it like a month ago
[03:22] <sunset> I did install wine and it doesn't work
[03:22] <cpk1> anarchman1, I think you need to start at about 1/4 down the page where it says "Overwriting the Windows bootloader"
[03:22] <sunset> ??
[03:23] <evilGUI> sunset: Which apps are you trying to run?
[03:23] <cpk1> anarchman1, thats an I THINK though =)
[03:23] <Ivanipod> And I did a fresh install a few hours ago
[03:23] <dusting> cbill, yes vista home as well as mac OS X detect it no prob
[03:23] <danavi> hello lady's and gentleman
[03:23] <Mood> sunset: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine&ei=m4qXSZr1AYic8gSnk-3SAw&sig2=wON8J6Iar1KEuxUYECWwcg&usg=AFQjCNFPKPGLt5BhISm0MkEZb7Rs6h5ayQ

[03:24] <dayo> !fr | danavi
[03:24] <Mood> non, vous parlez anglais ici
[03:24] <evilGUI> sunset: You don't need avast and there is more then likely somthing like roboform.
[03:24] <cbill> dusting, do you have gparted installed? can you see if gparted detects the drive?
[03:24] <danavi> ok
[03:24] <sammyF> danavi, what ubottu said ;)
[03:24] <[ucb]kevin> help! im trying to install the latest version of MINT (v.6) and i run into partition error -- any ideas?
[03:24] <deathtech> Hello all! I have Successfully installed the latest Nvidia Drivers (180.29) and was wondering if anyone knew the most recent up to date method for enabling SLi (8700 M GT's Mbile)
[03:24] <Ivanipod> ubotyu is a person right
[03:25] <MK13> with the setup i have previously mentioned (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/118254/plain/) if the vista computer was connected to the internet, is there any way for a person to access my server through the vista connection?
[03:25] <sammyF> Ivanipod: read it iBOTu ;)
[03:25] <anarchman1> cpk1: ok was just reading that section now, i hope i can't destroy my partition by following these instructions
[03:25] <sammyF> Ivanipod: or just try to talk to it
[03:25] <qcjn> danavi: viens a #ubuntu-fr
[03:25] <Freddy-Yi> comment je fais pour jejoindre le tchat ubuntu.fr ?
[03:25] <Ivanipod> Hm
[03:25] <Ivanipod> LOL
[03:25] <maxride_> anarchman1: You know, the windows bootloader can also boot linux.
[03:25] <somethingclever> is there a way to convert my 32 bit os to a 64 bit os? i have a 64 bit proccessor
[03:25] <dayo> !fr | Freddy-Yi
[03:25] <Ivanipod> I hate how the iPod cpitalizez LOL
[03:26] <dusting> cbill, installing gparted now...
[03:26] <Freddy-Yi> ok, mais comment ?
[03:26] <dayo> somethingclever: i'd say it's best to reinstall
[03:26] <anarchman1> maxride_: no i didn't know that, but by the way things are going it doesn't look like I can boot anything
[03:26] <cyberfab007> hey guys
[03:26] <dayo> Freddy-Yi: type: /leave
[03:26] <cbill> dusting, run as sudo, dont change anything, just see if drive is detected there
[03:26] <sammyF> Freddy-Yi: type /join #ubuntu-fr
[03:26] <maxride_> anarchman1: Let me find the instructions on how to do that.
[03:26] <cyberfab007> I try to install openssh server from the add add software progema and I dont see it
[03:26] <dayo> Freddy-Yi: then: /join #ubuntu-fr
[03:26] <anarchman1> maxride_: ok
[03:26] <mrglinux> hi does somebody experienced this bug: Nautilus 2.24.1 in open and save dialog box ( fore example firefox ) when you create a folder and press enter folder just created and not selected so if you press enter your file save on the current directory not in new folder
[03:26] <anarchman1> mkdir /mnt/root
[03:26] <anarchman1> ack
[03:27] <dusting> cbill, how exactly do i use it?
[03:27] <mrglinux> it's occur in new gnome and nautils
[03:27] <Freddy-Yi> je tape où ces commandes ?
[03:27] <[ucb]kevin> when are the ubuntu forums coming back up :( :( :(
[03:27] <sammyF> anarchman1: you don't have permissions to create the directory /mnt/root here
[03:27] <anarchman1> :)
[03:27] <cbill> dusting, sec been awhile, im installing too
[03:27] <sammyF> anarchman1:  :P
[03:27] <Ivanipod> I got my mid term report card today
[03:27] <tsuna27> ivanipod: u need help with ur ipod?
[03:27] <PVO> Hi all, Ubuntu (8.10 Intrepid) noob here... can anyone help me to tether my windows mobile phone to connecct to the internet? I'm stuck with XP right now... And I don't know how to compile, so manually installing usb-rndis-lite is out of the question! :S
[03:27] <Ivanipod> I'm a bit worried
[03:27] <mrglinux> does any body ?
[03:28] <marko_> short of converting .lit files to html, is there any programs that can read .lit files directly on linux?
[03:28] <Ivanipod> 2a-
[03:28] <mrglinux> nobody ?
[03:28] <IntuitiveNipple> dusting: cbill: I'd suggest checking "cat /proc/partitions" and also "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id" for signs the block devices have been seen, but mostly, I'd look at the recent entries in the log since the device was last plugged in: "tail -n 100 /var/log/kern.log"
[03:28] <mrglinux> please some body answer me
[03:28] <qcjn> Dr_willis: if you gave me a copy of you re xorg.conf and i would make a back up of mine and tried yours
[03:29] <MrGoodkat_> how can i change the hildon desktop look? rearrange the shortcuts ad a shutdown menu etc
[03:29] <maxride_> anarchman1: First you want to boot to your windows CD into the recovery console. You'll then want to copy NTLDR off of the CD (or Thumbdrive) and run FIXBOOT and FIXMBR to get the windows bootloader to work.
[03:29] <anarchman1> The problem with everything I try is I keep getting special device does not exist
[03:29] <maxride_> anarchman1: Let me switch the rest to PM
[03:29] <cbill> dusting, swith drives from the top right drop down menu, see if you see your external there, also read intuitivenipple advise
[03:29] <anarchman1> maxride_: ok
[03:30] <cbill> intuitivenipple, would it help to restart his PC?
[03:30] <Ivanipod> No errors found cldrd
[03:30] <cyberfab007> Come on how do I enable the ssh the docs say imust instal openssh but I dont see that in the repositiory is this right?
[03:31] <qcjn> anyone would give me a copy of his xorg.conf
[03:31] <mrglinux> are there any body in amoung of 1307 user answer me here?
[03:31] <IntuitiveNipple> cbill: At this point, I'd guess no. I'd want to see what the kernel.log reports if the device is disconnected/powered-down/re-connected
[03:31] <ashlessburn> lol
[03:31] <boshhead> mrglinux: that doesn't sound like a bug. double click on the folder to enter it. then save.
[03:31] <cpk1> cyberfab007, openssh-server if you want the server one, you should already have the client
[03:31] <IntuitiveNipple> cbill: I've had recent experience with USB external devices that got internally locked up and a power-reset on them fixed the issue
[03:31] <keka> hey
[03:32] <redvamp128> MK13:  I just found Bind9 -- dns server to put on your server-- then the network will have a dns.
[03:32] <MK13> wow, thnx
[03:32] <cyberfab007> ok
[03:32] <cyberfab007> let me chieck
[03:32] <cyberfab007> check
[03:32] <cyberfab007> I dont see it though in the GUI where I add software too
[03:32] <redvamp128> MK13:  This guide is for 8.04 what version of server do you have?
[03:32] <cbill> intuitivenipple, kk thanks
[03:32] <MK13> 8.10
[03:33] <keka> do have the copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel
[03:33] <keka> do you have the soft copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel
[03:33] <mrglinux> boshhead yes it's a problem because i doesn't exist in previous version so i habit when a create folder just press enter more and more to create new folder and  go to new folder and save the file.. and in another os and browsers is sames . why don't you accept this as a problem ?
[03:33] <redvamp128> MK13:  Though it should install on 8.10 (you may try googling bind9 for 8.10) but here is the guide... Installing An Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 LTS DNS Server With BIND | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials <http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-an-ubuntu8.04-dns-server-with-bind>
[03:33] <cbill> keka, im a little confused, what do you need?
[03:33] <sunset> i still cannot get exe files to run using ubuntu?
[03:33] <MK13> kk, thnx
[03:33] <redvamp128> MK13:  if you can't find it then try #ubuntu-server room
[03:34] <cbill> sunset, you need wine to attempt to run windows .exe files
[03:34] <boshhead> mrglinux: because I've never found it to be un-intuitive, I guess.
[03:34] <keka> respond to me
[03:34] <cyberfab007> cpk1 i dont see that software anywhere
[03:34] <sunset> I am very new to ubuntu
[03:34] <redvamp128> MK13:  Since the major complaint is lack of DNS -- why not just install DNS
[03:34] <sunset> i downloaded and its not working
[03:34] <sunset> I suppose I have to delete and retry again
[03:34] <cyberfab007> cok1 i am new ubuntu and need this to give my engineer access
[03:34] <keka> I first time in ubuntu
[03:34] <cbill> sunset, what did you download?
[03:35] <IntuitiveNipple> redvamp128: MK13 Are you wanting the Ubuntu server to 'serve' IP addresses/names to other PCs, or get an IP for itself?
[03:35] <sunset> wine doors
[03:35] <keka> respond to me anybody
[03:35] <cpk1> cyberfab007, in a terminal try "aptitude search openssh"
[03:35] <sammyF> keka: what's your problem?
[03:35] <redvamp128> IntuitiveNipple:  not for me-- but for MK13:
[03:35] <cbill> sunset, from terminal run "sudo apt-get install wine"
[03:35] <sunset> ok
[03:35] <IntuitiveNipple> redvamp128: I was just making sure you spotted I was asking about the same issue :)
[03:36] <cbill> sunset, you can also add from synaptic
[03:36] <keka> hey sammyF I want a copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel
[03:36] <cyberfab007> cpk1 ok I have now is it
[03:36] <cyberfab007> su aptitude install openssh-server
[03:36] <keka> hey sammyF, I want a soft copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel, if u have send me
[03:36] <sunset> brb
[03:37] <nanotube> cyberfab007: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:37] <sammyF> keka: and I want a pony .. guess we'll both have to look elsewhere
[03:37] <MK13> i want the server to get it from Vista, since vista deals out ip's for the rest of the computers i connect to at home. But the weird thing is that in VMware the Ubuntu Server installation connects to the Vista pc flawlessly
[03:37] <cyberfab007> cool
[03:37] <MK13> I guess VMware has built in DHCP
[03:37] <cbill> keka, check your library
[03:37] <keka> hey sammyF, are an Indian
[03:37] <IntuitiveNipple> MK13: okay, then the Ubuntu PC needs dhclient3, which it should already have installed
[03:37] <dusting> cbill, i dont see a way to switch drives on the top right (where it has my username and date time etc.) i did those things intuitive mentioned but i dont know exactly what i'm looking for...i didn't see anything that looked like the external drive in question
[03:38] <MK13> IntuitiveNipple: how could I tell just to be sure?
[03:38] <cbill> dusting, top right in gparted, run from terminal: sudo gparted
[03:38] <IntuitiveNipple> MK13: For dhclient to work the interface needs to be set up for DHCP, or Network Manager should manage the interface
[03:38] <keka> hey sammyF, are u an Indian?
[03:38] <MK13> IntuitiveNipple: any good tutorials?
[03:38] <mrglinux> fucking gnome
[03:38] <Ivanlul> crdlb:
[03:38] <keka> bye............
[03:38] <Ivanlul> crdlb: I checked it, no errors
[03:39] <redvamp128> !language | mrglinux
[03:39] <cbill> dusting, i just want to know if gparted sees the drive
[03:39] <IntuitiveNipple> MK13: apt-cache policy dhcp3-client
[03:39] <tangentcollision> wget
[03:39] <crdlb> Ivanlul: does the xrandr command work for you?
[03:39] <tangentcollision> damnit, how do I find in irssi?
[03:39] <tangentcollision> (oops, lang)
[03:40] <Ivanlul> crdlb: just xrandr
[03:40] <crdlb> Ivanlul: ie, not print Bus error or anything else that looks like an error
[03:40] <crdlb> yes, just xrandr
[03:40] <dusting> cbill, i see what ur talking about but my internal hd is the only option
[03:40] <Nasra> Royal: I am trying to open a excel file from a usb into Ubuntu....don't know howto....
[03:40] <cbill> dusting, ok its not being detected, i want to try a reboot with the device plugged in
[03:41] <MK13> IntuitiveNipple: prints out dhcp3 client: installed: 3.1....  canidate... etc.
[03:41] <Ivanlul> crdlb: nop, no errors, just gives me something that looks like a matrix with resolutions and other stuff
[03:41] <nanotube> Nasra: double click it and it should open with openoffice
[03:41] <IntuitiveNipple> MK13: That's installed then. Now, do you want NetworkManager to mange the connection or set it up yourself
[03:41] <Nasra> is asking for an application nanatube:
[03:42] <Nasra> nanotube: there is a whole bunch of stuff in there....
[03:42] <MK13> IntuitiveNipple: i'd like to try Network manger first
[03:42] <nanotube> Nasra: do you have openoffice? check in main menu: applications -> office -> openoffice spreadsheet, is that there?
[03:42] <Nasra> yes
[03:42] <nanotube> Nasra: well, then open that first, then from there do file -> open, and browse to that excel file
[03:43] <Nasra> nanotube: okay
[03:43] <linux_guy> Hey guys, I'm trying (desperately) to play a DVD in my laptop, but it keeps on failing in NUMEROUS players.  VLC, Gnome, Totem, Kaffeine, etc.  It's a brand new DVD out of the box.    Can I watch this movie I paid for????
[03:43] <dusting> cbill, okay i'll brb
[03:43] <nanotube> Nasra: if it is really an excel file, it should open...
[03:43] <cbill> dusting, ill be here
