[07:32] <annihilus> im trying to resize my ntfs partition (which is mounted) to give some space to my ubuntu install, when i use gparted (live cd) it allows me to pull from ntfs but i cant give it to my ubuntu partition, any ideas?
[07:33] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, you're looking for the sun-java5-jdk package in synaptic :)
[07:33] <cables> annihilus, you have to move the ubuntu partition to the left, then resize it.

[07:33] <annihilus> cables, what do you mean to the left
[07:33] <ASTX813> Whenever I reboot I have to modprobe ndiswrapper before I can use my wifi and I've done everything I did last time I set up this computer
[07:33] <nomin> dinochopins: ubuntuforums has TONS of stuff
[07:34] <whta> i'm still having a problem where my system just seems to hibernate/hang completely when i try to restart X or log out.
[07:34] <cables> annihilus, in gparted, move it to the left.
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> basically, i have the linux 5.10 bin installer
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> and i wanna install that
[07:34] <elliotjhug> XiXaQ: rdiff-backup claims to be light on the network, but it doesn't appear to be indexed on google as particularly efficient.

[07:34] <neilthereildeil> i need to know what to remove so nithing conflicts
[07:34] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, no you don't want to install that
[07:34] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, are you listening at all?
[07:34] <neilthereildeil> why not?

[07:34] <don_jr__> how do I enable repo's so it doesn't ask for the CD when I'm tryin to do stuff?
[07:35] <Seveas> bcaus you need the sun-java5-jdk package from ubuntu
[07:35] <neilthereildeil> the problem is tghat if i install it with a package manager, it will automatically update
[07:35] <neilthereildeil> and i need to stay with this version for class
[07:35] <dinochopins> nomin: thanks... will look at them right away ;)
[07:35] <cables> annihilus, the part on the top. I believe you right click on the partition and click move.
[07:35] <Seveas> neilthereildeil, so?
[07:35] <Seveas> it won't upgrade to java 6
[07:35] <lvalue> don_jr__, take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list

[07:42] <amayera> hi
[07:42] <amayera> I have a question: I run a feisty here and since 2.6.20-11 it seems like the naming schemes of partitions have been changed, I find my ATA-hdd now under /dev/sda what seems quite strange to me. why is that?
[07:42] <RaverWild> hello. important question: linux newbie here and 1st time installed edgy on laptop with winXP. since when installed was at night had noone to ask and for swap file gave 5GB swap partition. coleague told me this is too much, so now how to correct this? dont want to reinstall. is it safe to boot another OS, so to resize the swap partition and boot linux again? what's the best solution?
[07:43] <Seveas> amayera, some ide drives are now driven by libpata, which uses /dev/sdX names
[07:43] <WaxyFresh> atoponce: apt-get
[07:43] <Tomcat_> RaverWild: Boot into the LiveCD, resize. It's quite easy. :)
[07:43] <WaxyFresh> atoponce: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2416249#post2416249 did you read this?
[07:43] <jaytea> hi!   Usually swap is 2x the size of your RAM.
[07:44] <amayera> Seveas: I see. maybe it would be a good idea to note this anywhere in the dist-upgrade process. it took me quite a time to figure this out as my /etc/fstab had no UUIDs but the normal /dev/hdaX thingy.

[07:44] <Seveas> amayera, that's called user error

[07:44] <RaverWild> Tomcat_:  how much space to be the partition? i have 512mb ram... so 1GB swap?
[07:44] <Seveas> amayera, edgy installs hav UUIDs unless a user breaks it
[07:44] <Desmaano> speps: sorry i dont know anything about it
[07:44] <spotted> the build process of the kernel module is full of compile errors
[07:45] <nomin> RaverWild: yes, 1GB swap.
[07:45] <speps> Desmaano, ok thanks
[07:45] <amayera> Seveas: yeah, but going from dapper to edgy to feisty does not.
[07:45] <Tomcat_> RaverWild: It really depends on your usage... 1G should be enough, yes.

[07:45] <spotted> can anyone help me?
[07:45] <RaverWild> Tomcat_:  i was thinking of just to boot from live cd , and resize the partition but my coleague told me i it's not so simple. so if i just resize the partition this will solve the problem?
[07:45] <Tomcat_> zeroflag: I hope somebody else will answer that... ntfs-3g is quite good these days, but I can't really say.
[07:46] <RaverWild> Tomcat_, nomin: thanks guys
[07:46] <Tomcat_> RaverWild: It should work that way, easily. Have done it myself often. Maybe your colleague has a more difficult setup.

[08:13] <amayera> hyper_ch: sure. but that is theory, practically I think they will be far more suspicious if you don't tell them your keyphrase, so telling them your fake one thinks they have control and you have nothing to hide.

[08:15] <neilthereildeil> and then run it
[08:15] <hyper_ch> amayera: you need to be singled out in criminal process
[08:15] <scribble> not that i can see
[08:15] <xtknight> scribble, dhcp?
[08:15] <scribble> xtknight: not that i can see
[08:15] <flashstar> does anyone know how to run beryl with two separate x screens?
[08:15] <scribble> xtknight: i set that to auto
[08:16] <hyper_ch> so if you live not alone or operate a wep wifi network (which can easily be hacked) there is no proof that you did something illegal
[08:16] <xtknight> scribble, `sudo dhclient eth0` (what's your eth# so i dont have to say this each time ?  )
[08:16] <scribble> xtknight: its ok, its wlan0
[08:16] <xtknight> !offtopic
[08:16] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:16] <hyper_ch> it may be a bit different in case of civil process of "isp liability" but I can't generally tell on that
[08:16] <xtknight> scribble, ok `sudo dhclient wlan0`  does it grab an ip?
[08:16] <xtknight> Desmaano, modprobed it?
[08:16] <hyper_ch> amayera: anyway, I'm off to tv :)
[08:16] <amayera> hyper_ch: I think I remember that at least here in germany you are responsible for whatever went through your wifi
[08:17] <xtknight> Desmaano, let me know if you ge tstuck again
[08:17] <amayera> hyper_ch: have fun.
[08:17] <LordLimecat> anyone have any thoughts?
[08:17] <vbabiy_> hey when i follow !nvidia i can't get my video card to work
[08:17] <xtknight> LordLimecat, if gnome/xfce fail, could be gdm failure
[08:17] <xtknight> i dont know any more than that
[08:17] <xtknight> xfce uses gdm right?
[08:17] <KDan> hello - is there a way to reliably download a file over a dodgy nfs connection? I'm thinking of something wget, ie which provides some feedback as to wtf is going on, and is reasonably resistant to the connection dropping for a few seconds, and so can deal with copying a multi-MB file over a crappy link a bit more effectively. Anyone know of such a utility?
[08:17] <LordLimecat> how do i reinstall gdm without removing all associated packages?
[08:17] <LordLimecat> and why is wine failing?
[08:17] <xtknight> LordLimecat, wine crashes X?
[08:18] <LordLimecat> i THINK so
[08:18] <xtknight> LordLimecat, kernel video driver problem
[08:18] <Desmaano> Alright, now lets run mdadm to create the RAID:daniel@ubuntu:~$ sudo mdadm create
[08:18] <Desmaano> /dev/md0 level=1 raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 ( error: -c does not set the mode so cannot be the first option)
[08:18] <scriblle> xtknight: it does not seem to find an ip address. it is sleeping now??
[08:18] <xtknight> same thing happened to me
[08:18] <hyper_ch> amayera: it's not Urmel (the movie) on Sat. 1 now?
[08:18] <LordLimecat> and how is THAT fixed?
[08:18] <xtknight> wine .34 is problematic
[08:18] <xtknight> LordLimecat, use wine .33 in repos
[08:18] <LordLimecat> it worked FINE before this
[08:18] <scriblle> xtknight: should i make it coffee....?
[08:18] <xtknight> !info wine

[08:18] <xtknight> scriblle, maybe that'll perk it up...who knows
[08:18] <Deviad> Hello
[08:18] <xtknight> scriblle, i know i need some ;P
[08:18] <scriblle> xtknight: i could sure use some too
[08:18] <LordLimecat> and the program i loaded in wine shouldnt be touching video
[08:18] <Deviad> Can anyone pls help me with this compiling errors: http://www.rafb.net/p/ZrVs6f11.html ?
[08:18] <LordLimecat> its just an updater for a wow addon
[08:18] <xtknight> scriblle, set static ip or increase DHCP pool
[08:18] <KDan> hello - is there a way to reliably download a file over a dodgy nfs connection? I'm thinking of something like wget, ie which provides some feedback as to wtf is going on, and is reasonably resistant to the connection dropping for a few seconds, and so can deal with copying a multi-MB file over a crappy link a bit more effectively. Anyone know of such a utility?
[08:19] <xtknight> LordLimecat, it doesnt matter, mine crashed without video apps
[08:19] <Seveas> !ati > Deviad
[08:19] <xtknight> LordLimecat, does "glxgears" also crash
[08:19] <amayera> KDan: you could try scp.
[08:19] <xtknight> LordLimecat,  kernel/xorg nvidia .so/.ko driver version discrepancy probably.
[08:19] <vbabiy_> can some one please help me out with installing the driver
[08:19] <amayera> KDan: you only need a sshd for that.
[08:19] <hyper_ch> amayera: I know in civil law the question of "provider haftung" is different than in Switzerland... but I don't know if it applies to professional only or everyone
[08:19] <KDan> amayera: good point... that's more reliable than nfs? yeah there's an sshd on there
[08:20] <WaxyFresh> i have a ubuntu iso and want to extract it onto my usb drive so i can boot into it,any  help?
[08:20] <xtknight> Deviad,  i dont know what in the world is goig on there
[08:20] <LordLimecat> glxgears crashes, yes
[08:20] <xtknight> Deviad, it looks like the download is corrupt or something
[08:20] <LordLimecat> so what is yer recommendation?
[08:20] <xtknight> LordLimecat, nuke nvidia  *.so *.ko, reinstall nvidia
[08:20] <amayera> KDan: nearly anyhting is more reliable than nfs.   If i boot to the live cd i get sound, please help
[08:21] <LordLimecat> everytime i run it somethin REALLY bad happens
[08:21] <murf> hi anyone have any ideas on this on? when i try to get firefox through adept man i get this error message on install:There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages: any one know how to get round it or is it just life without the fox?
[08:21] <ChrisF> I want to install Bluefish HTML editor.  I tried sudo apt-get install bluefish but it can't find the package.  I guess I need to add the repository.  But, how do I know which repository it's in?
[08:21] <Desmaano> Alright, now lets run mdadm to create the RAID:daniel@ubuntu:~$ sudo mdadm create

[08:21] <Desmaano> error: mdadm: -c does not set the mode and so cannot be the first option
[08:21] <amayera> KDan: let me know if it worked.
[08:21] <LordLimecat> at the very least, i have to reboot to get gnome to load
[08:21] <xtknight> LordLimecat, lol, like X closes?
[08:21] <xtknight> :P
[08:21] <scriblle> xtknight:  so i load up connection properties, click configure, click enable this connection, type in BTVOYAGER1500-25 (which is the essid) click ok
[08:21] <LordLimecat> yea, it closes, reopens, and when i login, NOFFIN
[08:21] <LordLimecat> it hangs
[08:21] <xtknight> LordLimecat, fix nvidia problem first before diagnosing anything else
[08:21] <LordLimecat> alright
[08:21] <xtknight> one error could cause 5 billion
[08:22] <tommus> knix_: probably because the live-cd flushes all the sound-drivers in existance onto your session. try finding your specific driver and installing it in your normal session

[08:22] <xtknight> scriblle, open "sudo iwevent" in a separate terminal

[08:22] <xtknight> LordLimecat, sudo killall X i think

[08:25] <xtknight> Desmaano, it looks like you're using an odd type of Word dash (a longer dash that gets copied rfom websites)
[08:25] <xtknight> Desmaano, use a short dash manually typed
[08:25] <xtknight> Desmaano, actually, two short dashes instead of one long dash.
[08:26] <xtknight> ubuntu_ian, we dont understand what you mean
[08:26] <Desmaano> ok i try two dashes then :)

[08:28] <xtknight> scriblle, what does iwlist..scan report
[08:28] <xtknight> scriblle, or is that what you mean?
[08:28] <hyper_ch> amayera: you're never in #ubuntu-de ?
[08:28] <Desmaano> xtknight, i did and added --auto=yes because the file or directory doesnt exsist
[08:29] <xtknight> Desmaano, what's auto do?
[08:29] <xtknight> Desmaano, which file didn't exist?
[08:29] <scriblle> xtknight: that is from iwlist, my terminal says 'iwscan 'command not found'
[08:29] <xtknight> scriblle, do you know if it's associated with an access point?  sudo ifconfig wlan0
[08:29] <amayera> hyper_ch: I'm on #kubuntu-de ;)
[08:29] <Desmaano> xtknight: /dev/md0: no such file or directory exsists
[08:29] <murf> seems this is a hard one that no one wants...... is there and advice on the error message?
[08:30] <amayera> hyper_ch: only join #ubuntu-* for support-reasons ;)
[08:30] <hyper_ch> amayera: ah :)
[08:30] <hyper_ch> amayera: thx for the help despite me using Feisty :)
[08:30] <scriblle> xtknight: access point not associated
[08:31] <Deviad> xtknight, I followed the howto you suggested me and there were no differences compared to the one I read before
[08:31] <murf> so has any one even seen this error message??????  There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.
[08:31] <amayera> hyper_ch: I use it, too.
[08:31] <Deviad> xtknight, how may I solve those compiling problems? I have even tried to redownload the drivers before to try to compile again
[08:31] <Hoxxin> what do i do next? i installed kubuntu on my ubuntu but i cant choose which one to run on startup
[08:31] <amayera> hyper_ch: that is why I suspected you not having /dev/hda anymore, because it misses here and now it is /dev/sda
[08:31] <smultron> i just ported the iChat sound set to Gaim. if anyone wants to try it out, i'd love some feedback. http://hagakure1.googlepages.com/iChat2Gaim.tar.gz
[08:31] <tommus> Hoxxin: edit your grub!
[08:32] <xtknight> Desmaano, sudo mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0
[08:32] <hyper_ch> amayera: that was a problem first :) until I found out that I could even setup hd-boot-order in the bios :)
[08:32] <murf> can any one help just a little????
[08:32] <vbabiy_> how can i change monitor setup in ubuntu
[08:32] <xtknight> scriblle, well type "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc"
[08:32] <xtknight> i think
[08:32] <innervision> anyone else having trouble with their internet connection?
[08:32] <murf> pleassssssssssss...............

[08:33] <Hoxxin> tommus: how do i do that? :D
[08:33] <xtknight> !ask
[08:33] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:33] <xtknight> Desmaano, type the mkraid cmd again
[08:33] <LordLimecat> xtknight: you rock
[08:33] <xtknight> Desmaano, mdadm i mean
[08:33] <LordLimecat> it found some issues during uninstall, you were right
[08:33] <murf> moovvviiinnnngggg.........toooooooooo.......the........darksssssssiiiddddeeeeeee
[08:33] <ompaul> murf, ask your question and see what happens the whole help thing
[08:33] <LordLimecat> and xfce and gnome now work :D
[08:33] <Desmaano> xtknight: i did, now the error is, device or resource busy
[08:33] <xtknight> LordLimecat, cool
[08:33] <max_> murf we have no idea what your problem is just ask it
[08:33] <xtknight> murf, ask your question already
[08:34] <scriblle> xtknight: ok i did that, mode is now ad-hoc and it says cell: not associated
[08:34] <ompaul> murf, and ask your question of the __whole__ channel
[08:34] <tommus> Hoxxin: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=388283 might solve your problem
[08:34] <etalli> !ask
[08:34] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[08:34] <xtknight> Desmaano, hm what's /dev/hdc1?
[08:35] <murf> i have asked many times but here it is again. i try to install firefox, it gets to 20% and then i get this error message:There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.
[08:35] <tommus> Hoxxin: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and you are able to edit your boot-list, you need to know where your kubuntu is installed and simply add it there
[08:35] <xtknight> murf, install firefox from where?
[08:35] <Desmaano> the primary partition on harddisk #1 of the raid array
[08:35] <ompaul> murf, your question lacks detail, such as what version of firefox, from where, and to what version of Ubuntu
[08:35] <scriblle> xtknight: ok done
[08:35] <xtknight> Desmaano, is it mounted
[08:35] <xtknight> Desmaano, (it shouldn't be as far as i know)
[08:35] <LordLimecat> xfce is nice o.0
[08:35] <Desmaano> xtknight: it is, and shown on my desktop
[08:36] <Desmaano> xtknight: unmount?
[08:36] <max_> murf : (I assume you're using Synaptic, please offer more details!)   If you click on the Details button , it will give you more information.  Simply saying "There is a problem" nobody can help
[08:36] <xtknight> Desmaano, yes sudo umount /dev/hdc1
[08:36] <xtknight> Desmaano, hdc1 will be wiped completely
[08:36] <murf> kubuntu 6.10 edgy fro add remove progs and adept man
[08:36] <Desmaano> woowoow it works :D
[08:36] <max_> murf: try this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:36] <hyper_ch> amayera: hmmm, just one more question: how can I make a link to a shell script that shall be executed as root?
[08:36] <Ash-Fox> What group does a user have to be in to be granted direct access to a harddrive device like /dev/sdb ? (No, I don't want to run the proccesses in question as root)
[08:36] <xtknight> scriblle, now look at iwevent,  also type "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[08:37] <Deviad> http://www.rafb.net/p/ZrVs6f11.html
[08:37] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, they have to be in the usermask (umask=) of the fstab line
[08:37] <Deviad> :|
[08:37] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, or if you want users to be able to mount, then user=
[08:37] <xtknight> just user i mean
[08:37] <Desmaano> xtknight: i further read the story, you will hear the first next error from me, thanks for now :D
[08:37] <murf> tried the command thing no result there
[08:37] <xtknight> Desmaano, ok although i may have to go soon P
[08:37] <xtknight> :P
[08:37] <Ash-Fox> xtknight, don't want mount, and fstab lines are for mounted paths, no?
[08:37] <Desmaano> ok i be quick :)
[08:37] <amayera> hyper_ch: when do you want this script to be executed?
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, what do you mean direct access?
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, access to the block device (why?)
[08:38] <max_> murf : it displayed an error ....  errors are helpful to finding out what the problem is.
[08:38] <Ash-Fox> Because I need it for vmware-server
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox, the 'disk' group, apparently.
[08:38] <hyper_ch> amayera: just wanting to add an umount of the encrypted device... hence running two commands as root
[08:38] <scriblle> xtknight: ok, same results as before; dhclient is sleeping and iwevent is still waiting for wireless events
[08:38] <etalli> Just to state outright, I am using Kubuntu feisty (the guys at #kubuntu directed me to you). i need to change the resolution to 1280x800 but it is not in the list under the monitor section even though it is in my monitor section of xorg.conf, can anyone help?  I have done 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' more than once, tried to find a modeline to add, and now I am stuck
[08:38] <xtknight> Ash-Fox,  ok but you really shouldn't have vwmare use physical partitions :/
[08:38] <xtknight> unless they're blank
[08:38] <hyper_ch> so I thought I put them in a shell script and then make a launcher that executes it as root

[08:39] <denys> hey, i'm stuck at installing the nvidia drivers
[08:40] <etalli> max_ no offence, but maybe you should finish reading my first comment.
[08:40] <amayera> hyper_ch: you could make a script into your home-dir with #!/bin/bash sudo firstcommand && sudo secondcommand in it. than chmod +x it and then execute it using sudo yourscript
[08:40] <smultron> denys, where are you stuck?
[08:40] <xtknight> Desmaano, sorry wrong person
[08:40] <xtknight> ChrisF, Ash-Fox,
[08:40] <xtknight> ChrisF, http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
[08:40] <Desmaano> xtknight: wine? whatfor ? windows emulation yes but explain :P
[08:40] <tommus> denys: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Xgl.2FCompiz_.28NVIDIA.29 - tried that guide?
[08:40] <etalli> max_ and I quote "...event though it is in the monitor section of xorg.conf..."
[08:40] <xtknight> Desmaano, ignore that
[08:40] <thepumpkin1979_> hi. I have changed fstab file, is there a quick command to reload it and test changes?
[08:40] <max_> etalll my bad
[08:40] <Desmaano> haha ok :P
[08:40] <murf> also on reading further back in the process there was this error in shell to:Unpacking firefox (from .../firefox_<IP_ADDRESS>+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10_i386.deb) ...
[08:40] <murf> dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
[08:40] <murf> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_<IP_ADDRESS>+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10_i386.deb (--unpack):
[08:40] <cypher1> murf, what were you trying to do ?
[08:40] <xtknight> thepumpkin1979_, sudo muont -a
[08:40] <denys> when i try to actually run it, it wont work, i get "can open  file ./nvidia-..."
[08:41] <Hoxxin> tommus: havent tried yet, im playin games at the same time :)
[08:41] <thepumpkin1979_> thanks xtknight
[08:41] <murf> install fire fox.......
[08:41] <xtknight> thepumpkin1979_, "sudo mount -a" i mean.  also you should unmount.  and mount -a will only work if the partition line has "auto" in it
[08:41] <hyper_ch> amayera: yes that's what I think... btw, when I power down the computer but do not umount and not luksClose then it will be closed anyway, right?
[08:41] <xtknight> thepumpkin1979_, sudo mount /affected/partition     if you want to just update one
[08:41] <Desmaano> when my 64bit system will be delivered i will visit #ubuntu again ;)
[08:41] <max_> murf : are you able to install anything else with dpkg (apt) ?
[08:41] <amayera> hyper_ch: depends if you ahve it in your /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab
[08:41] <hyper_ch> amayera: on this site they say something about dmsetup info  https://systemausfall.org/wikis/howto/CryptoPartitionHowTo (bottom)
[08:42] <murf> yep, wine xchat, ntfs .3g n more
[08:42] <Desmaano> only a small step away from a software raid :DD
[08:42] <smultron> denys, the terminal is case-sensitve. maybe try ./NVIDIA... because that's how the drivers from their website are usually named
[08:42] <max_> murf : sudo apt-get remove firefox
[08:42] <Desmaano> please give uboto something like !softwareraid and a link to the site :)
[08:42] <scriblle> xtknight: iwconfig wlan0 is not associated
[08:42] <cypher1> murf, try removing the firefox deb manually and then install firefox again
[08:42] <Desmaano> !softwareraid
[08:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about softwareraid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:42] <denys> oh i did not know that, thanks, i'll try it now
[08:42] <mapez> right now im on 7.04 beta on the 19th will I be able to fully update to the stable?
[08:42] <smultron> denys, you can also start typing it in and then hit the <tab> key to finish it for you
[08:42] <xtknight> scriblle, nightmare
[08:42] <xtknight> :O
[08:42] <tommus> mapez: yes!
[08:43] <scriblle> i know
[08:43] <xtknight> mapez, yes
[08:43] <mapez> ah, okay good just makign sure before i get everything on this hdd.
[08:43] <scriblle> xtknight: if you dont mind, could you tell me what i need to do to remove it all
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, somehow it's not finding the access point even though youve entered the MAC
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, maybe try bcm43xx/fwcutter instead of ndiswrapper
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, i can try
[08:43] <dustpyle_x2> Hello folks
[08:43] <scriblle> xtknight: i want to remove nidiswrapper, the drivers, everything
[08:43] <Hoxxin> tommus: that looked complicated
[08:43] <hyper_ch> amayera: oh, it says so :) powering down also removes that stuff
[08:43] <cypher1> !hi | dustpyle_x2
[08:43] <ubotu> dustpyle_x2: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, i  know the feeling
[08:43] <smultron> denys, you'll probably have to run it with "sudo ./NVIDIA..." as it requires root priveleges
[08:43] <hyper_ch> amayera: one should read :)
[08:43] <xtknight> scriblle, nuke it all and set it on fire..
[08:44] <Desmaano> scribblle,xtknight: is it about wireless networking ?
[08:44] <scriblle> xtknight: it has worked before on another system that had the same chipset. its just that, BCM4036 models are tempremental
[08:44] <xtknight> Desmaano, yea
[08:44] <smultron> denys: and you have to be logged out of X to run it, too
[08:44] <scriblle> :D
[08:44] <xtknight> scriblle, it worked with ndiswrapper
[08:44] <amayera> hyper_ch: ;)
[08:44] <xtknight> ??
[08:44] <Desmaano> xtknight: omg that sucks to set up
[08:44] <xtknight> Desmaano, did the raid work?
[08:44] <murf> tried remove but shell hasnt made the install...........??linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get remove firefox
[08:44] <murf> Reading package lists... Done
[08:44] <murf> Building dependency tree
[08:44] <murf> Reading state information... Done
[08:44] <murf> Package firefox is not installed, so not removed
[08:44] <Desmaano> expecially when the AP cant be found... grrr
[08:44] <xtknight> !paste | murf

[08:44] <noget> hey there, i need some serious help after a fresh ubuntu 7.04 install. I do have internet connections, but there is a looooong lag... anybody any idea what might wrong?
[08:45] <PriceChild> noget, #ubuntu+1 please
[08:45] <tommus> Hoxxin: well, its a bit of reading up to get working but in the long rung its a good thing to know how to edit your menu.lst :)
[08:45] <scriblle> xtknight: i dont want to re-install ubuntu, but i have noticed reinstalling the drivers sometimes works
[08:45] <noget> in firefox, i might add
[08:45] <cypher1> murf, please try "sudo rm /var/..../firefox...deb"
[08:45] <xtknight> scriblle, sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx ; sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[08:45] <Desmaano> 'omg stupid computer let me point you the f*cking router that is 10 centimeters away from you '
[08:45] <cypher1> murf, sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:45] <Hoxxin> tommus: ye ok tnx :)
[08:45] <denys> how do i log out of the x server? do i just run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"? i did that but nothing happened
[08:45] <xtknight> scriblle, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist    remove "blacklist bcm43xx"
[08:46] <xtknight> denys, gee that's odd
[08:46] <xtknight> denys, are you using kubuntu?
[08:46] <denys> yea
[08:46] <xtknight> denys, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[08:46] <xtknight> or ?dm will do it for any buntu
[08:46] <scriblle> arg!
[08:46] <scriblle> it works
[08:46] <xtknight> scriblle, lol
[08:46] <scriblle> i did sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper and it found the access point
[08:46] <xtknight> hahah
[08:46] <xtknight> wtf
[08:47] <scriblle> xtknight: the chipset is completly random
[08:47] <gnychis> whenever i try to open a .mov in ubuntu, i get "gstreamer encountered a general stream error" ... do i need to install something more?
[08:47] <xtknight> scriblle, so what driver is it using
[08:47] <xtknight> :P
[08:47] <xtknight> scriblle, did ndiswrapper get loaded twice??
[08:47] <murf> cant remove if its not installed right???? and sudo install never completes see the above
[08:47] <xtknight> scriblle, lsmod | grep ndis
[08:47] <scriblle> erm....im not sure, because when i click on the icon, it says its not connected??
[08:47] <scriblle> im not sure
[08:47] <cypher1> murf, first -- please try "sudo rm /var/..../firefox...deb"
[08:47] <thepumpkin1979_> xtknight: i'm trying to mount a NTFS partition bet i have three disc's. 2 IDE and 1 Sata. I have successfully mounted SATA and IDE1. How could I know which disc's are installed and their device id?
[08:48] <xtknight> murf, "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all firefox; sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[08:48] <cypher1> murf, second -- please try "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[08:48] <Alonea>  oh! also when linux starts it says a bunch of buffer I/O errors on the ntfs drive.
[08:48] <smultron> denys: you'll have to hit <alt> <ctrl> <f1>
[08:48] <scriblle> xtknight: i think it was
[08:48] <smultron> denys: then "sudo killall gdm"
[08:48] <xtknight> scriblle, ah well that'll do it
[08:48] <scriblle> because it's still loaded if i lsmod
[08:48] <xtknight> denys already quit
[08:48] <xtknight> kdm did it
[08:48] <scriblle> now, to update or not to update....might kill it:/
[08:48] <xtknight> scriblle, update! ;P
[08:48] <smultron> denys: that's after you log in
[08:49] <xtknight> denys isn't even here
[08:49] <xtknight> lol
[08:49] <scriblle> xtknight: thankyou! inadvertadly you fixed my pc!
[08:49] <xtknight> scriblle, well if it weren't for you i wouldnt have
[08:49] <xtknight> scriblle, removing the drivers worked ;)
[08:49] <xtknight> scriblle, they didnt tell you with these cards you have to "uninstall" the drivers to make them work.  they're voodoo
[08:49] <smultron> denys: then once you've run the Nvidia driver, type 'sudo gdm' again
[08:50] <hyper_ch> amayera: now it works perfect :)
[08:50] <cypher1> smultron, for whom you are replying
[08:50] <gnychis> whenever i try to open a .mov in ubuntu, i get "gstreamer encountered a general stream error" ... do i need to install something more?
[08:50] <xtknight> smultron, denys is not in the channel right now but you are welcome to help him when he gets back.  he has kdm right now, not gdm.
[08:50] <smultron> cypherl: to denys
[08:51] <TaJMoX> !restricted
[08:51] <xtknight> smultron, he successfuly used kdm stop to stop his X

[08:51] <murf> xtknight- did that and got this:dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove firefox which isn't installed.
[08:51] <TaJMoX> gnychis : read that
[08:51] <xtknight> murf, that's ok, continue with the cmds
[08:51] <murf> so just sudo install now?
[08:51] <amayera> hyper_ch: nice to hear
[08:51] <xtknight> murf, dpkg confiogure?
[08:51] <xtknight> murf, did you do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ?
[08:51] <smultron> xtknight: ah, ok, didn't realize, sorry
[08:51] <murf> yep all one line though...
[08:52] <xtknight> murf, k one moment now dont do anything
[08:52] <scriblle> xtknight: sounds kind of microsoft to me:)
[08:52] <xtknight> murf, sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox*
[08:52] <bogor> gnychis: have you installed the bad & ugly plugins ?
[08:52] <murf> k wait
[08:52] <scriblle> xtknight: i hope installing the updates will be ok, because i am going to swap the kernel for a precompiled one supporting the ingo molnar patch
[08:52] <xtknight> scriblle, ahh ingo, ive done that aptch
[08:52] <xtknight> patch*
[08:53] <TaJMoX> sudo apt-get autoclean
[08:53] <TaJMoX> that removes the apt cache
[08:53] <xtknight> scriblle, dynticks?  out of curiosity why?
[08:53] <xtknight> scriblle, i did it to increase speed/conserve power i'd like to know if there are any other advantages
[08:53] <murf> ok done that
[08:53] <xtknight> murf, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:53] <scriblle> xtknight: i want to do it so i can get out of cubse, i like ardour2
[08:54] <xtknight> scriblle, what?
[08:54] <bogor> how useable is amd64 version of ubuntu for desktop use ?
[08:54] <xtknight> scriblle, hm what are cubse/ardour2?
[08:54] <TaJMoX> murf have you tried getting the official .deb from the mozilla site and installing that ?
[08:54] <scriblle> xtknight: i tried musix, but it was buggy, bloated and a little unreliable. it was a lovely package, but just not usable.
[08:54] <flyte> how do I see the size of my swap partition?
[08:54] <mjr> bogor, very usable, unless you happen to want to use proprietary non-amd64 software
[08:54] <cypher1> flyte, swapon -s
[08:54] <xtknight> bogor, flash and windwos media codecs are harder
[08:55] <scriblle> xtknight: cubase is a piece of recording software similar to protools. Ardour is the free equivalent www.ardour.org
[08:55] <xtknight> scriblle, oh, cubase
[08:55] <Desmaano> my ubuntu startup hangs at the console, how to start up the gui ?
[08:55] <xtknight> Desmaano, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm start
[08:55] <scriblle> xtknight: i can't find the page now though on the forums for the precompiled kernel, darnit!
 use gparted
[08:55] <xtknight> scriblle, which precompiled?  the one precomp with ingo patched?
[08:55] <flyte> bogor, not in x
[08:55] <Desmaano> bash: sudo: command not found
[08:55] <cypher1> Desmaano, login as the normal user and then type "startx"
[08:55] <xtknight> Desmaano, lol
[08:56] <xtknight> that's not good
[08:56] <flyte> cypher1, that shows the size in K?
[08:56] <Desmaano> *restbutton* :P
[08:56] <Desmaano> reset*
[08:56] <murf> okay did the update and install got the same error messages
[08:56] <Derek_Russo> Hi, I"m having a lot of problems installing fglrx driver for my ATI card, can anyone help?
[08:56] <TaJMoX> flyte: also try free or df
[08:56] <murf> tajmox: got an address???
[08:56] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: hi ;)
 then try cfdisk
[08:56] <xtknight> scriblle, hmmm low latency kernels will be in feisty too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308287
[08:57] <scriblle> xtknight: yeh, with the ingo patch and real time pre-emptions allowed
[08:57] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: hi
[08:57] <flyte> bogor, thx
[08:57] <xtknight> scriblle, having connection problems?
 or the du command
[08:57] <TaJMoX> murf http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>&os=linux&lang=en-US
[08:57] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: no luck yet
[08:57] <scriblle> xtknight: i know but for now, just using edgy as i had a couple of issues with feisty
[08:57] <epsilon_> hi all
[08:58] <Desmaano> omg... file system check failed, what now guys ?:(
[08:58] <cypher1> flyte, i think so
[08:58] <Desmaano> bash: no job control in this shell
[08:58] <gnychis> bogor: TaJMoX: yeah i just sudo apt-get'ed all of those packages for ugly and everything, i see a thumbnail of the video properly in the file manager, but still get the streaming error
[08:58] <xtknight> gotta go
[08:58] <xtknight> Desmaano, scriblle see you later
[08:58] <Desmaano> xtknight, ok thanks a lot mate :)
[08:58] <Derek_Russo> Does anyone have experience installing ATI drivers?
[08:58] <xtknight> Desmaano, good luck with that stuff
[08:59] <srjames> Hrm.
[08:59] <TaJMoX> gnychis : i assume you're using Totem ?
[08:59] <srjames> I just installed Ubuntu 6.10
[08:59] <TaJMoX> gnychis : vlc never fails me
[08:59] <scriblle> xtknight: thanks again:)
[08:59] <Ali_ix> Derek_Russo: i see :( i hope you get it fixed
[08:59] <srjames> I have to say it's pretty nice.. I was biased at first because i've always been a big DYI distro guy, but ubuntu is just solid, and you can never fail with apt-get
[08:59] <srjames> I don't know why 1280x800 wasn't in the xorg.conf file but that doesn't really matter =p
[08:59] <gnychis> TaJMoX: whatever the ubuntu default is, which i think is totem
[08:59] <Derek_Russo> Me too, I really like the operating system, but I can't use it if I can't do what I want with it
[09:00] <TaJMoX> srjames : yea ubuntu's package management rocks
[09:00] <TaJMoX> srjames : ati? intel? nvidia?
[09:00] <srjames> I loved debian
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: nvidia.
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: are the default nvidia drivers pretty up to date ?
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: i apt-get installed the nvidia-glx ones just to be sure
[09:00] <TaJMoX> srjames : dunno, i use intel and ati =]
 i use mplayer for .mov file playback, give that a try
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: = 0
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: nvidia+amd
[09:00] <cypher1> !fglrx | Derek_Russo
[09:00] <ubotu> Derek_Russo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:00] <thepumpkin1979_> thanks xtknight
[09:00] <srjames> TaJMoX: LET THE WAR BEGIN
[09:01] <TaJMoX> srjames : but if they comoe with tools - they shoul;d help you get your rez
[09:01] <dEBiaN> yes debian is cool :)
[09:01] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: can you help me instal my fglrx drivers?  I have used the tutorial and could not get it to work
[09:01] <srjames> TaJMoX: oh i wasn't complaining, i just edited the .conf file
[09:01] <Derek_Russo> When I go to that tutorial and install the drivers, I still get the Mesa project as the vendor string
[09:01] <srjames> TaJMoX: gnome's screen resolution changer checks xorg.conf to see which resolutions you are allowing
[09:01] <Desmaano> a maintenance shell will now be started
[09:01] <Desmaano> .....arrgghhh
[09:01] <impuLsive-_->  DCC SEND ?string? 0 0 0
[09:02] <WTC_SEVEN> anyone know how to setup NAT traversal?
[09:02] <cypher1> WTC_SEVEN, do you mean port forwarding ?
[09:02] <iturk> hi there friends each package should i install in order for not getting the Xserver
[09:03] <Derek_Russo> Has anyone here gotten fglrx to work on their computer?
[09:03] <cypher1> Derek_Russo, did you modify xorg.conf and other things ?
[09:03] <Derek_Russo> cypher1: yes, I did everything that the guide said to do
[09:03] <WTC_SEVEN> cypher1: nope this is slightly different, it's used so you don't have to setup a port forward
[09:03] <Derek_Russo> cypher1: including making the soft links to various places, etc
[09:04] <astroraptor> this is getting really long ... is there a way to force a resolution in xorg.conf? I've been looking everywhere trying to find out why I'm stuck at 800x600 but everything I try just keeps me stuck at that resolution.
[09:04] <Stylee-FilipBole> do someone use cinelerra?
[09:04] <srjames> astroraptor: what's your problem ?
[09:05] <srjames> astroraptor: are you using gnome  ?
[09:05] <astroraptor> yes
[09:05] <Ali_ix> astroraptor: you can set defaut resoloution and refresh rate in config editor
[09:05] <Derek_Russo> Does anyone know of other drivers you can use for ATI cards besids fglrx?
[09:05] <dooglus> how can I get 'sudo' to ask for my password before doing stuff as root?
[09:05] <dooglus> at the moment it just does it
[09:05] <srjames> astroraptor: did you edit the xorg.conf file ?  go down to the resolution section, you'lsee a defaul depth , probably set to 24
[09:05] <astroraptor> I want to use 1024x768
[09:05] <Ali_ix> dooglus: it doesnt ask?
[09:05] <dooglus> Ali_ix: no, it never has
[09:05] <astroraptor> yes, defaulted to 24
[09:05] <dooglus> Ali_ix: it's not just that it has it cached for 10 minutes or something - it never asks
[09:05] <bXi> what could be wrong when a livecd doesnt get past the very first menu
[09:06] <srjames> astroraptor: then find that field corresponding to the default depth, and add on "1024x768" to the beginning
[09:06] <Ali_ix> dooglus: theer is some password cching there.. but not really more than 15 minutes
[09:06] <life> I've got a silly question, how do I disable the logging page at startup, I'm the only user for the computer.
[09:06] <srjames> astroraptor: sorry if i am insulting your intelligence if you know all this, just have to ask
[09:06] <vbabiy_> how can i change monitor setup in ubuntu
[09:06] <astroraptor> already there, I checked
[09:06] <astroraptor> no, no insulting here, haha
[09:06] <dooglus> Ali_ix: right, but it *never* asks, so it couldn't have cached it - 'cos I've not typed it
[09:06] <tmroland> is the linux network administrator's guide 2nd edition from tldp.org site up to date and still good?
[09:06] <Ali_ix> dooglus: are you sure that not logged in via root itself? :)
[09:06] <dooglus> Ali_ix: yes.  I didn't ever set a root password
[09:07] <Derek_Russo> Ali_ix: do you have any other ideas that I could try?
[09:07] <srjames> Ali_ix: if you set a root password maybe it'll ask you ?
[09:07] <dooglus> Ali_ix: uid=1000(chris) gid=1000(chris) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),...

[09:13] <cables> People connected via VNC aren't able to see my mouse pointer... is there any way to fix this?
[09:14] <dooglus> Ali_ix: it's almost like a 'real' ubuntu install, except for some annoying things, like 'sudo' never prompting for a password, /etc/network/interfaces getting trashed every time I boot, xorg.conf getting re-written each boot, etc.
[09:14] <stepanstas> josh36, what do you need help with
[09:14] <life> sizzam, thanks a lot
[09:14] <Andeh> Hello
[09:14] <sizzam> cables: i think there is usually a setting in the VNC client to show or not show the remote mouse pointer
[09:14] <stepanstas> How can i check my super user password?
[09:14] <sizzam> cables: as opposed to your vnc server
[09:15] <scriblle> i tried loading the deb package but it says 'could not open linux image' package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file'
[09:15] <cellojoe> stepanstas: check meaning recover?
[09:15] <cables> sizzam, I'm using vnc2swf, and other people connecting report not seeing the pointer too.
[09:15] <dooglus> lol.  the sudoers file says: "%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: ALL"
[09:15] <Ali_ix> dooglus: even tried to install ubuntu on your flash drive? (it is possible)
[09:15] <dooglus> looks like someone really didn't want to have to specify a password :)
[09:15] <stepanstas> cellojoe, yes, you could say that
[09:15] <dooglus> Ali_ix: it's only 2GB; I want to save as much space for user data as possible
[09:15] <josh36> i want to install a program on cd and i want that program to work o any computer without insalling it

[09:17] <daggerr> any ideas on why dhcp does not work in the network manager for a wireless interface? (works using dhclient)

[09:17] <sgtmattbaker> can anyone help me with drive image.. I really need to make a backup image of a partition
[09:17] <stepanstas> cellojoe, i can try that, what do i do
[09:17] <cellojoe> there is not a root password by default, for that reason
[09:18] <cellojoe> sudo is the safest way to gain root permissions
[09:18] <cellojoe> (thats the disclaimer)
[09:18] <cellojoe> still want to set a root passwd? even tho you know it's risky?
[09:18] <stepanstas> cellojoe, i am the only user on this comp
[09:18] <Megaqwerty> is there a way that I can grep the contents of a file, and then take the results and remove them from the file?
[09:18] <stepanstas> cellojoe, well, i have to install a program this way, so is there another option
[09:18] <srjames> i couldn't imagine operating without root password
[09:18] <josh36> stepanstas can u help me with that?
[09:19] <dooglus> cellojoe: I don't see how it's safer to have your user's password, which you type every day, be able to get root access using sudo, than it is to have a separate root password which you hardly ever type
[09:19] <srjames> ill be editing a lot of things and i dont want to keep typing sudo
[09:19] <sgtmattbaker> CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH DEVICE IMAGE? please
[09:19] <dooglus> cellojoe: if someone was sniffing your keystrokes then they'll be able to get your user password a lot sooner than your root password, 'cos you type it more.
[09:19] <tmroland> srjames: you can use sudo -i or sudo su
[09:19] <stepanstas> josh36, no, i dont know, but in my experience, "dont ask to ask a question, just ask the question"
[09:19] <cellojoe> stepanstas: if you need to install a program using, saay apt-get, use sudo apt-get
[09:19] <stepanstas> josh36, ask again

[09:19] <srjames> tmroland: i just like knowing my root password =/
[09:20] <srjames> tmroland: i see the security risks in it, but i'm just so used to it
[09:20] <bruenig> !sudo
[09:20] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:20] <stepanstas> cellojoe, okay, what if i have instruction to do something that i asked from someone
[09:20] <tmroland> srjames: do sudo -i enter your username password then do passwd  and set root password
[09:20] <josh36> im from israel and my english is not well .what do u mean?
[09:21] <stepanstas> cellojoe, im not sure how to explain it, but basically it creates a shared folder between linux and xp
[09:21] <sgtmattbaker> so nobody wants to help w/ device image?
[09:21] <tmroland> srjames: or just : sudo passwd root
[09:21] <stepanstas> josh36, ask the question again
[09:21] <colbert> I am movign a large .iso file that was about 90% done when moving from my networked XP computer to this ubuntu machine, when my mom turned my XP computer off, halting the transfer.. I turned it on and tried to hit Retry in Ubuntu but it wouldn't work.. now is there anyway to move the file again but RESUME instead of only be able to Replace ????
[09:21] <stepanstas> josh36, and hope for an answer
[09:21] <josh36> i want to install a program on cd and i want that program to work o any computer without insalling it
[09:22] <cellojoe> stepanstas: i'm not sure how you're doing that, if you figure this out, lemme know! but to set a root password type the following in the terminal
[09:22] <cellojoe> sudo root passwd
[09:22] <tmroland> srjames: you can login as root in ubuntu, but its not enabled by default because the lack of a password
[09:22] <EdgEy> sudo passwd
[09:22] <josh36> ok i c thanks
[09:22] <TaJMoX> xscreensaver locks my display with a password after closing my laptop lid - even though I un-checked the "lock computer" in xscreensaver configuration.... any idea on how to disable this ?
[09:22] <bruenig> josh36, assuming the program is compiled, and is able to access whatever libraries, you should be able to put the compiled binaries on a cd, and then run them
[09:22] <josh36> i want to install a program on cd and i want that program to work o any computer without insalling it
[09:22] <EdgEy> i don't understand how sudo gives added security though
[09:23] <cellojoe> josh36: you want a live cd?
[09:23] <EdgEy> just means that if someone knows your password they can get root, they don't need to know a seperate password that's used less
[09:23] <cellojoe> www.portableapps.com
[09:23] <EdgEy> o.o
[09:23] <cellojoe> josh36: www.portableapps.com
[09:23] <dooglus> EdgEy: that's right, it doesn't give more security
[09:23] <EdgEy> seems to give less
[09:23] <sgtmattbaker> HELP ME WITH DEVICE IMAGE!
[09:23] <tdn> Is it possible to configure apt-get to use more than one thread while downloading packages/lists in apt-get update and in apt-get upgrade?
[09:23] <kaitrek> I have a problem: I run an old AMD computer, with 128Mb of ram, and 2-3Gb harddrive, right after I instal the ubuntu-server edition it asks me to remove the CD, I do, then it reboots, when it comes to GRUB loader, I press to go ahead and continue loading normally, as if this was an ordinary boot up, then suddenly in 0.5seconds after GRUB starts loading ubuntu, the whole computer restarts, and this ordeal will repeat itself with
[09:23] <tmroland> EdgEy: thats why you must be really careful whom you add to /etc/sudoers, and this only until you can set a separate password for root
[09:23] <tmroland> simple
[09:23] <kaitrek> interaction in a continuous loop
[09:24] <bruenig> EdgEy, when somebody tries to get into your system, they know that one of the usernames is root, and then can just guess the password, now they have to guess the username and the password, also it doesn't allow you to screw something up, provides a sort of double check
[09:24] <dooglus> EdgEy: what it's good for is in places where multiple users need admin privs; it lets you see who did what, rather than everyone using the 'root' account
[09:24] <TaJMoX> tdn : that will hog the servers and is bad for the rest of us
[09:24] <josh36> im weak in that aria i need a simple thing
[09:24] <EdgEy> dooglus, ah, didn't think of that
[09:24] <TaJMoX> xscreensaver locks my display with a password after closing my laptop lid - even though I un-checked the "lock computer" in xscreensaver configuration.... any idea on how to disable this ?
[09:24] <EdgEy> bruenig i guess
[09:24] <dooglus> bruenig: so change the root account's name to something else
[09:24] <stepanstas> EdgEy, thanks for that
[09:24] <typedestereo> hm
[09:24] <stepanstas> cellojoe, i will let you know if it works
[09:25] <Trist_an> hey, I was just wondering if it is possible to open an image inside the terminal? Like you can open a movie with mplayer and libcaca library
[09:25] <typedestereo> if I'm running ubuntu, how would I go about installing kde without using an install cd?
[09:25] <bruenig> dooglus, you could yes, but that will be done on a distro level or a personal user level? if a distro level that defeats the purpose because the person would likely know
[09:25] <stepanstas> cellojoe, by the way, the comand was sudo passwd (someone corrected you)
[09:25] <EdgEy> Trist_an it's not really inside the terminal with mplayer
[09:25] <limaunion> kaitrek: maybe a hardware problem ? run memtest86.
[09:25] <colbert> Anyone? Is it possible to "RESUME" a file when moving from one drive to another in ubuntu ???
[09:25] <cellojoe> stepanstas: oh, thanks.
[09:25] <EdgEy> it's as inside the terminal as running xchat from term would be, it attaches to X
[09:25] <kaitrek> limaunion memtest is OK
[09:25] <dooglus> bruenig: on a personal level, the same way you set the password.  if you want 2 secrets instead of 1, that is.
[09:25] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : ISO Image ?
[09:25] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : oh a picture

[09:26] <bruenig> dooglus, that would make support a joy, I mean for power users, then go for it, but to try to set it up as default would be stupid for ubuntu I think

[09:26] <etalli> typedestereo sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop, or sudo aptitude install kde-core if you want it without kubunutu defaults

[09:28] <bruenig> elementz, script looks ok, I would just the entire path though "python /home/operon/download/svn/hellanzb/hellanzb.py"
[09:28] <etalli> typedestereo, first you need to sude aptitude update
[09:28] <etalli> sudo
[09:28] <bruenig> elementz, is it executable
[09:28] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, it tells me that I need to be the current owner of the console to be able to open it...
[09:28] <elementz> yes it is

[09:29] <etalli> yeah
[09:29] <elementz> yeah works without probs

[09:29] <bruenig> typedestereo, don't put quotes around "kubuntu-desktop" if you are, can't really tell from the error message, but it looks like you might be

[09:29] <SandTrooper> Hi I am using v6.10 and I can not find the file "/etc/inittab" any idea?
[09:29] <typedestereo> it's from the error message
[09:29] <TaJMoX> make sure in your xorg.conf file that the driver is "fglrx" not "ati"
[09:29] <typedestereo> which I got again :x
[09:29] <TaJMoX> !ati
[09:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:29] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I'm almost certain it is, let me check
[09:30] <elementz> bruenig, tried that already - same issue though - script keeps closing
[09:30] <bruenig> elementz, is this thing graphical or what?
[09:30] <TaJMoX> make sure youo follow the steps exactly - it works for all my ATI computers
[09:30] <scriblle> Does anybody here have experience with installing precompiled kernels?
[09:30] <typedestereo> limited experience, yes

[09:31] <elementz> *g
[09:31] <SandTrooper> thx guys
[09:31] <bruenig> elementz, ok, so it is graphical? it isn't a command line program
[09:31] <etalli> typedestereo, thats strange, unless you really want all of kubuntu's pretties try sudo aptitude install kde
[09:31] <heath_> where can i find an ATI Driver "How To" for an ATI Rage Card?
[09:31] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo : make sure you have a backup of your working xorg.conf and then try it again
[09:31] <elementz> bruenig, well kind of - its a python app that runs inside the console
[09:32] <Derek_Russo> Alright, I will
[09:32] <typedestereo> etalli: so it's not vital that I fix the error message?
[09:32] <Trist_an> TaJMoX, sudo didn't workd and flashed my screen before coming back to normal
[09:32] <etalli> not really
[09:32] <bruenig> elementz, yeah, that is likely the problem, you need to have it open in the terminal

[09:33] <etalli> you'll need to choose kde from the session submenu of that little options button down in the corner
[09:33] <TaJMoX> Trist_an : you're not in X right ?
[09:33] <Trist_an> EADG, no. How should I do. In fact I'm trying to be able to open picture while using elinks for example

[09:33] <SandTrooper> Were do you change the run level in Ubuntu ?
[09:33] <EADG> Trist_an: Restart Elinks.
[09:33] <Trist_an> EADG, did you come up with something

[09:35] <john_> Hello guys. I have a problem with sox. I am trying to redirect my audio from a TV Tuner, and now sometimes it says that /dev/dsp is busy, although a fuser /dev/dsp doesn't reveal anything. This used to work well with Edgy. So any ideas?
[09:36] <CSWookie> TaJMoX: Cool, thanks.

[09:38] <Seilo> where can i join a feisty channel
[09:38] <bruenig> Seilo, /topic
[09:38] <shine> #ubuntu+1
[09:39] <TaJMoX> typedestereo : did you install the kubuntu-desktop package ?
[09:39] <typedestereo> since I can't select kde and I've already tried aptitude, what should I do?
[09:39] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: when I try to download the driver again, it says it is already up to date
[09:39] <typedestereo> I tried to, and it seemed to work
[09:39] <TaJMoX> type add repositories in synaptic
[09:39] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: shoudl I proceed with the rest of the guide anyway?
[09:39] <TaJMoX> yes
[09:39] <trainer__> can anyone help me, I am following the ATI howto for fglrx, and my X server still won't start. fglrxinfo gives me -> Error: unable to open display :0
[09:39] <bruenig> typedestereo, what are you doing exactly?
[09:39] <typedestereo> trying to install kde
[09:40] <AngryElf> what command can I add to crontab to sync with NTP?
[09:40] <TaJMoX> trainer : have you modified your xorg.conf yet?   make sure composite is off and DRI mode is 0666
[09:40] <CSWookie> TaJMoX: Hmm.  The video is all screwy.
[09:40] <trainer__> should I try aserver-xorg-driver-ati instead of fglrx?
[09:40] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: when I do sudo aticonfig --initial it says "Found fglrx primary device section
[09:40] <Derek_Russo> Nothing to do, terminating.
[09:40] <bruenig> typedestereo, ok, what does this do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" (close synaptic or any other package manger before doing this)
[09:41] <CSWookie> TaJMoX: But the title screen is clear.

[09:42] <scriblle> Does anybody here have experience with installing precompiled kernels?
[09:42] <TaJMoX> typedestereo : go into synaptic, Settings -> Repositories     and check all the boxes
[09:42] <typedestereo> ok
[09:42] <trainer__> man I might actually just go out and buy a new video card for this machine, what is one that I can be sure wont give me too much trouble?
[09:42] <bruenig> TaJMoX, the main repo is enabled by default, that shouldn't matter
[09:42] <bXi> trainer__: i didnt have much issues with my ati x1600xt
[09:43] <sharms> AngryElf: The command to sync time is ntpdate
[09:43] <GionnyBoss> trainer__: nVidia are the best for Linux ;) nVidia drivers rocks ;)
[09:43] <zorglu_> q. what is the package to get the man page of the libc (man open and such) ?
[09:43] <TaJMoX> bruenig looks like its disabled
[09:43] <sharms> zorglu_: manpages-dev
[09:43] <zorglu_> sharms: thanks
[09:43] <typedestereo> eh, I enabled all the repositories anyways
[09:43] <Shamrock_hh> Why do the /dev/sdX devices change each time I reboot? I am using UUIDs, but the actual device nodes change with each reboot.
[09:44] <TaJMoX> kubuntu-desktop should be there
[09:44] <dooglus> scriblle: we've probably all installed precompiled kernels - that's part of the standard install procedure.  what's your real question?
[09:44] <sharms> Shamrock_hh: they dont unless you are constantly re-arranging your drives
[09:44] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I went through all of the steps in the tutorial again and I still see the mesa driver listed
[09:44] <bruenig> typedestereo, whatever, pastebin that stuff
[09:44] <Shamrock_hh> sharms: incorrect. I am not rearranging my drives and they are changing from sda to sdb, sdd, sde randonly.
[09:44] <typedestereo> ...I think synaptic just crashed 0_o
[09:44] <josh36> thank u all the helpers
[09:45] <typedestereo> er never mind
[09:45] <darx> can someone help me with cpu freqency scaling?
[09:45] <sharms> Shamrock_hh: if that is the case you need to file a bug
[09:45] <cached> How would I go about adding a cron job via a bash script?
[09:45] <josh36> i hop i`ll manage
[09:45] <scriblle> dooglus:  question is; how do i install a precompiled kernel that i downloaded from the internet, as advised in this post; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313612&highlight=realtime+kernel
[09:45] <bruenig> typedestereo, pastebin.
[09:45] <TaJMoX> derek_russo : sudo glxinfo |grep direct
[09:45] <sgtmattbaker> can anyone recommend a good hard disk/partition cloner that works at the sector level of a hard drive so that I can backup a NTFS partition?? I have tried drive image and it.. well doesn't work at all
[09:45] <darx> i need to set the lowest frequency.. which is not showing up in the table
[09:45] <typedestereo> pastebinning...
[09:45] <cached> I know the command I want to run, but how can I add it to cron through a script?
[09:46] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[09:46] <Derek_Russo> direct rendering: No
[09:46] <Derek_Russo> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[09:46] <bruenig> cached, some fun inline editing
[09:46] <TaJMoX> sgtmattbaker : what's wrong with standard dump ?
[09:46] <typedestereo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14437/
[09:46] <CpuWhiz> cached: add the bash script to the /etc/cron.<something> folder
[09:46] <sgtmattbaker> standard dump??
[09:46] <Beyond_The_Grav1> OK, does anybody know if you installed ubuntu through the safe graphics mode, what the admin password is?
[09:46] <dooglus> scriblle: those are .deb files - just "sudo dpkg -i blah.deb" to install them
[09:46] <dooglus> scriblle: then update-grub
[09:46] <TaJMoX> sgtmattbaker : oh i forgot dump doesnt come with ubuntu
[09:46] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Does anybody know, if you installed ubuntu through the safe graphics mode, what the admin password is?
[09:47] <scriblle> dooglus: how do i update grub?
[09:47] <CpuWhiz> cached: like /etc/cron.daily
[09:47] <TaJMoX> sgtmattbaker : and i think its for ext2 only nvm
[09:47] <dooglus> scriblle: I think it's "sudo update-grub"
[09:47] <bXi> Beyond_The_Grav1: theres no root/admin password
[09:47] <sharms> Beyond_The_Grav: the admin password is your password.
[09:47] <cached> CpuWhiz: What if I want it to run every 5 minutes?
[09:47] <vbabiy_> Can some one please help me update my monitor in fedora i used system-config-display
[09:47] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: does that give you any extra information?
[09:47] <sgtmattbaker> gparted is a partition editor is it not?? how does that make hardware level copies of partitions?
[09:47] <sharms> vbabiy: no go to #fedora.
[09:47] <scriblle> dooglus: thank you so much!!! i will try it, and see if it works for me
[09:47] <CpuWhiz> cached: ah, one sec
[09:47] <typedestereo> so what's my situation?
[09:47] <vbabiy_> sharms, this is for ubuntu
[09:47] <vbabiy_> no fedora
[09:47] <cheeseboy> can i covert gentoo to ubuntu?
[09:48] <bruenig> cached, you are talking about adding a line to crontab from a bash script correct?
[09:48] <tdn> TaJMoX, ok. Can you explain how it will hog the servers? I mean it of course it may increase the load on the particular server I am using, but the duration of this increased load is smaller than the duration of the load if I am using only a single thread. Am I missing something in this analysis?
[09:48] <sharms> vbabiy: what are you trying to  configure with respect to your monitor
[09:48] <TaJMoX> derek_russo youo sure the device in xorg.conf is set to fglrx ?
[09:48] <ramza3> is there a good svn synchronize tool in linux
[09:48] <vbabiy_> well is there a gui tool for configure dual display or res
[09:48] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: let me pastebin my whole xorg.conf for you, ok?
[09:48] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Well, when I try to type stuff in the terminal like "su [blah blah blah] " it ask for a password, but it's not the password for my user, so could it be something like "admin" or somethin?
[09:48] <TaJMoX> tdn : you are putting twice the load on the server
[09:48] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: I thought gparted was a partition editor.. how can it copy a partition?  From what I have seen it only edits partitions
[09:48] <TaJMoX> ok derek
[09:48] <cached> bruenig: I just want to get a script to run every 5 minutes, and it should require minimal knowledge of linux from the user
[09:48] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl dont use "su" use "sudo"
[09:48] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: visit the page, then ask me
[09:49] <cheeseboy> can i covert gentoo to ubuntu?
[09:49] <dooglus> scriblle: pm me if you have problems.  I'm not watching this channel much
[09:49] <trainer__> TaJMoX I think I am having the same problem as Derek_Russo but my x server won't even start, it wont recognize the device
[09:49] <Beyond_The_Grav1> why?
[09:49] <cached> bruenig: and it is going to be downloaded, so I can't just do it for them
[09:49] <srjames> cheeseboy: what do you mean convert ?
[09:49] <Shamrock_hh> sharms: should mount report the uuid or not? Can you explain the role of /dev/mapper please? I found nothing in google.
[09:49] <bruenig> cached, the first question you asked sounded like you wanted the script to add a cron entry, now it sounds like you want the script to be run from cron
[09:49] <heath_> Beyond_the_Gravl you use sudo to run commands as "super user", "su" just means to switch to root
[09:49] <mhiku> how to convert flv to mp4?
[09:49] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Why use sudo instead of su?
[09:50] <CpuWhiz> cached: add this to the /etc/crontab: */5 * * * * root /path/to/script
[09:50] <cheeseboy> srjames well install over it without a cd
[09:50] <cached> bruenig: I was thinking it would be easiest to have a script edit the cron so that another script is run
[09:50] <heath_> Beyond_the_Gravl because you never really need to become root with ubuntu
[09:50] <Shamrock_hh> Beyond_The_Grav1: because its safer for one shot commands.
[09:50] <sharms> Shamrock_hh: All of my ubuntu systems dont use the uuid
[09:50] <cached> CpuWhiz: How do I make adding that automated?
[09:50] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14438/
[09:50] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Even to do something like "su apt-get install wpasupplicant"?
[09:50] <tdn> TaJMoX, yeah. Twice the load in half the time, right? Say I need to download n bytes and this takes me m minutes using one thread. Then if I am using two threads, I will increase the load on the server by a factor of two, but I will only use the server for m/2 minutes. Agree?
[09:50] <CpuWhiz> cached: huh?
[09:50] <typedestereo> I hate to sound annoying, but what should I do now?
[09:50] <anick> cheeseboy: you can't install from a cd?
[09:50] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: the page has a gparted and clonezilla LiveCD.. I am assuming the Clonezilla app will do what I want?  I am currently downloading clonezilla-live-20070323.iso from clonezilla.sourceforge.net, should I cancel and download the gparted live?
[09:51] <scriblle> ooh, also everytime i boot. i have to type sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[09:51] <scriblle> to get my wireless to boot up
[09:51] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl that command doesnt make sense you are trying to super user into a user named "apt-get"
[09:51] <cheeseboy> anick im out of cds
[09:51] <scriblle> how can i set my ubuntu to do this automatically?
[09:51] <marek_> ty
[09:51] <TaJMoX> tdn it doesnt matter how long you are on the server for - point is you're making it work harder and slowing stuff down for everyone else who uses 1 thread
[09:51] <ShackJack> For anyone interested, I wrote a simple tutorial to have a custom , ahem, Windows-like "Start Menu" on your GNOME panel. There's also a FREE download of a custom Ubuntu start menu graphic there.  Might make the transition from Windows for some people a little smoother :)  See/get it here: http://www.natewelch.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=41
[09:51] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: Exactly download gparted-clonezilla live cd: Clonezilla supported ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, and FAT, NTFS file system.
[09:51] <cached> I have a script that needs to execute every 5 minutes by whoever downloads it.   How do I make a type of "install" script that just gets the original script to execute every 5 minutes?
[09:51] <Fireal> sudo = superuser do, su is to logon as superuser
[09:52] <Whtiger> How do I stop X from running?
[09:52] <TaJMoX> ShackJack Thanks but I like my ubuntu icon
[09:52] <Whtiger> It's already running, I just want to stop it
[09:52] <Beyond_The_Grav1> OK, well, nvm the last command, I already tried that with sudo too.... but it still asked for a password that wasn't the one I logon with... so what now?
[09:52] <bruenig> typedestereo, not that this should matter but try "sudo sed 's/^ //g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[09:52] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: does the xorg.conf file check out?
[09:52] <sharms> Whtiger: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:52] <Suurorca> Fireal: well, you can use su to switch to any user if you specify the name also. it just default to root
[09:52] <sgtmattbaker> oh.. I was a bit skeptical because in my limited use I have not seen really ANYONE on the forums or anywhere else talk about anything other than PartImage, NortonGhost or Device Image
[09:52] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl make sure you are typing your password correctly
[09:52] <vbabiy_> !beryl
[09:52] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:52] <Whtiger> thanks
[09:52] <ShackJack> TaJMoX - still has the ubuntu icon - but added text "menu" next to it in lovely Ubuntu type (or whatever you want to replace it with)
[09:52] <sgtmattbaker> so Clonezilla is the top dog right now?
[09:52] <Beyond_The_Grav1> I did, but it's the wrong one
[09:52] <Fireal> Suurorca:  true, true...just keeping it simple
[09:53] <CpuWhiz> cached: you can always have the "install" script echo "<the line>" >> /etc/crontab as root or something
[09:53] <Whtiger> sharms: does that work in kubuntu?
[09:53] <Kirk> Is Ubuntu able to get outside software?  Or can outside software be imported via Applications/Add/Remove?  I can't get terminal SU to accept my password but it works fine from GUI popup requests.
[09:53] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: it was just released a month ago, so it doesnt have a ton of support yet from the community
[09:53] <cached> Essentially, I'm making a site which CpuWhiz: won't that overwrite everything in there?
[09:53] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl is your terminal set to your user or to root?
[09:53] <sharms> Whtiger: /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[09:53] <cached> CpuWhiz: ignore the first part
[09:53] <typedestereo> ...
[09:53] <sgtmattbaker> sharms: but it works doesn't it?
[09:53] <typedestereo> this is a bit of a problem
[09:53] <Whtiger> okay, thanks sharms
[09:53] <Beyond_The_Grav1> I don't know how would I check?
[09:53] <CpuWhiz> cached: a > overwrites, a >> appends
[09:54] <typedestereo> it's saying I need to insert the install cd, but my disc drive is fried
[09:54] <cached> Cpuwhiz: oh
[09:54] <sharms> sgtmattbaker: It should
[09:54] <Lunar_Lamp> I'm using Edgy, and in previous versions there was a program that allowed me to create my own menu entries, but i can't remember what it was called and it doesn't have it's own menu entry.  How can I create a menu entry now?
[09:54] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl is it "root@whater" or "your_user@whatever"?
[09:54] <typedestereo> it's the main reason I'm not doing this from a cd
[09:54] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo : see how you have two Driver: fglrx lines?    make the first one vesa (the one with the PCI:0:1 blah)     and leave the second as fglrx .... thats how my conf is
[09:54] <Beyond_The_Grav1> the second one
[09:54] <Derek_Russo> ok
[09:54] <cached> cpuwhiz: Thanks!!
[09:54] <SomaFM> does anyone know a command to open a new terminal window of the same size as the one the command was typed in?
[09:54] <Derek_Russo> I had that before, but changed it a while ago at someone's advice
[09:55] <Kirk> Is Ubuntu able to get outside software?  Or can outside software be imported via Applications/Add/Remove?  I can't get terminal SU to accept my password but it works fine from GUI popup requests.
[09:55] <TaJMoX> Derek_Russo : also I had to completely restart my machine after installing fglrx - not just the X server
[09:55] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl then when you type "sudo apt-get update" it will prompt you for a password. this is asking for your USER password
[09:55] <Derek_Russo> TaJMoX: I will restart now
[09:56] <Beyond_The_Grav1> I know that, but I type it in exactly how it should be and it doesn't let me do it
[09:56] <Kirk> I had high hopes for Ubuntu but now it's looking like I'll have to return to Windows.
[09:56] <heath_> Beyond_The_Gravl what does the terminal message come back with after "sudo apt-get update"
[09:56] <Fireal> Kirk:  what are you trying to do?
[09:56] <stepanstas> I recently mounted my windows drive to linux, only root has acces to it, can i change that?
[09:56] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Password:
[09:56] <Beyond_The_Grav1> Then greg@whatever
[09:56] <ShackJack> Poor Kirk :(
[09:57] <Beyond_The_Grav1> That's it
