[07:46] <g4lt-lappy> Keal_, let me introduce you to a neat commandline thing caled "apt-cache search"  do one for fuledo and surprisingly you'll have a lot of packages
[07:46] <Keal_> will medibuntu darkice amd64 work without fluendo? i can't find docs on this
[07:47] <Keal_> ..or alternatively where are the docs saying it comes with fluendo
[07:47] <g4lt-lappy> 'well, it might, especially if jtaji is right, I just always go with fluendo to make sure
[07:47] <gartral> how do i start a live cd on a system with bad ram (ie, a BadRAM kernel)
[07:47] <Keal_> i don't know how to install fluendo :<
[07:47] <Keal_> ----> http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/fluendo.html
[07:47] <Keal_> says 404 not found
[07:48] <g4lt-lappy> again, try apt-cache search fluendo
[07:48] <jtaji> Keal_: fluendo is something you buy from a company, it's certainly not in the medibuntu repo
[07:48] <ysis> gartral: Are you looking for memtest?
[07:48] <jtaji> Keal_: and no, you don't need it
[07:49] <gartral> ysis: no, i already know the ram is bad and beyond repair, i need a badram build to get my laptop up
[07:49] <crdlb> Keal_: the medibuntu version uses open source mp3 support
[07:49] <slimjim> g4lt does catalyst shed any light..i do belive the sound comes from the card thur the MOBO i could be wrong
[07:49] <cipherZen> if you're just trying for mp3 support, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will get it for ya
[07:49] <Keal_> !paste > Keal_
[07:49] <cipherZen> granted, you may be breaking laws depending on where you live
[07:50] <ysis> gartral: Oh, I didn't know that you could run a computer with bad RAM...
[07:50] <g4lt-lappy> slimjim taht's one of the methods I outlined, yes.  catalyst won;'t do anything for you at this point
[07:50] <Keal_> i don't know what this means: http://paste.ubuntu.com/133485/
[07:50] <gartral> ysis: theres a badram kernel option, wich is great, if i could get the computer up in the first place
[07:50] <crdlb> Keal_: you don't need that
[07:51] <crdlb> Keal_: just add the medibuntu repository and install darkice from there
[07:51] <SuspectZero> hey
[07:51] <Keal_> crdlb,  don't need what?
[07:51] <slimjim> ok...but is that a widow$ program that would do that dump sound thur the mebo
[07:51] <crdlb> Keal_: the fluendo stuff
[07:51] <SuspectZero> whts a command to convert a partition to fat32
[07:51] <Keal_> i already installed darkice amd64
[07:51] <slimjim> if so i may hve found a way to do that but had a problem with the walkthur
[07:51] <SuspectZero> ive been using mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 for ext3 conversions
[07:51] <SuspectZero> but now i need fat32
[07:52] <Keal_> i installed darkice but i can't find it on my puter :/
[07:52] <DWSR> SuspectZero: mkfs.fat32
[07:52] <vng> hello everyone
[07:52] <DWSR> I believe.
[07:52] <ysis> gartral: Did you have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BadRAM ?
[07:52] <jtaji> SuspectZero: install dosfstools for mkfs.vfat
[07:52] <vng> what is svn? how do i install it on ubuntu?
[07:52] <SuspectZero> ah i see vfat
[07:53] <SuspectZero> that should be fat32 then
[07:53] <g4lt-lappy> SuspectZero, you can mkfs a fat32, but I'd recommend having the app/OS requiring fat32 do the formatting
[07:53] <jtaji> !info subversion | vng
[07:53] <DWSR> ubotu, tell vng about subversion
[07:53] <g4lt-lappy> SuspectZero, yes, for most values of fat32, hence my caveat
[07:53] <crdlb> Keal_: the version in ubuntu repos doesn't have mp3 support
[07:53] <jtaji> crdlb: (Keal_) but the version in medibuntu does
[07:54] <crdlb> Keal_: it installed a /usr/bin/darkice
[07:54] <vng> thanks
[07:54] <crdlb> jtaji: I know :)
[07:54] <jtaji> crdlb: ok just making sure no one gets confused ;)
[07:54] <Keal_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/133486/ :/
[07:55] <Keal_> i don't know how to get darkice to run :/
[07:56] <gartral> whats "eed=on" do in the other options at disk boot?
[07:56] <gartral> "edd=on" rather
[07:56] <Keal_> btw i have 60gb swap because i planned to run experimental software of mine on here :/
[07:56] <jtaji> Keal_: maybe it doesn't install a menu entry.... hit Alt+F2, then type darkice
[07:56] <crdlb> jtaji: it's not a gui app, is it?
[07:57] <crdlb> it's a server
[07:57] <jtaji> oh geez I don't even know
[07:57] <jtaji> I was assuming it was
[07:57] <Keal_> nothing happened, jtaji
[07:57] <g4lt-lappy> the GUI for darkice is darksnow
[07:57] <Keal_> grr
[07:57] <erlnoob> hi, how do i list all users with all their uid and gid?
[07:57] <DWSR> who
[07:57] <DWSR> nvm
[07:57] <DWSR> That's only who's logged in
[07:58] <erlnoob> yea
[07:58] <Keal_> i need darkice, darksnow, and "darkstorm" i think :/
[07:58] <jtaji> Keal_: I believe crdlb is right in that it's a command line app, check 'man darkice' and 'man darkice.cfg' for more info
[07:58] <Keal_> i have darkice i mean
[07:58] <jtaji> Keal_: and /usr/share/doc/darkice/README
[07:58] <Keal_> i need the other two whatever they are :<

[08:01] <fuminglava> how can i install grub on a pen drive?
[08:01] <Keal_> There is no matching application available.
[08:01] <Keal_> To broaden your search, choose "All available applications" or "All Open Source applications".

[08:03] <BlackAeronaut> Hello room.
[08:03] <Keal_> i can't figure out why it says there is no darksnow in the repository :<
[08:03] <BlackAeronaut> r00tintheb0x: You alive over there?
[08:03] <crdlb> Keal_: choose 'all available applications', just like it says

[08:05] <Keal_> "There is no matching application available."
[08:05] <gh0st3r> crdlb, what were those 9800GT drivers you told me about last time?
[08:05] <crdlb> gh0st3r: nvidia-glx-180
[08:05] <gh0st3r> crdlb, thanks :) was it a lower version?
[08:06] <Keal_> it still can't find darksnow :<
[08:07] <crdlb> Keal_: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install darksnow'

[08:08] <PoisonIvy> Hi, I need to get a Public IP address so I can host a MMORPG based on The Mana World. Does anybody know how to get one of these?
[08:08] <g4lt-lappy> PoisonIvy, your ISP
[08:08] <magnetron> PoisonIvy→ public IP adresses are usually assigned to you by an ISP
[08:09] <doleyb> PoisonIvy: Maybe consider a service like dyndns.org
[08:09] <crdlb> Keal_: why did you post that?
[08:09] <crdlb> Keal_: it's right there: "darksnow - simple graphical user interface to darkice"
[08:09] <Keal_> cr it says i have it but it wo't install it saying it doesn
[08:09] <gh0st3r> crdlb doesnt 180 have issues? or is it ok to use?
[08:10] <crdlb> Keal_: did you run 'sudo apt-get install darksnow'?
[08:10] <Keal_> t add/remove can't find it
[08:10] <crdlb> Keal_: it probably doesn't appear in add/remove because it doesn't have a menu entry
[08:11] <talon223> is 9.04 at a stable enough point to use it for my main install? I want someone's opinion
[08:11] <crdlb> gh0st3r: probably, but it's better than -177 :)
[08:11] <noren___> !jaunty | talon223:
[08:12] <mmu_man> hi
[08:12] <noren___> talon223: they releasse updates every day
[08:12] <noren___> !hi | mmu_man
[08:12] <mmu_man> anyone using phpmyadmin ? wondering why just installing it doesn't make it appear in /var/www/ but in /usr/share instead, anything special to do ?
[08:13] <mmu_man> tried dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin, tried reinstalling, didn't help
[08:13] <PoisonIvy> magnetron: I don't really know what most of these terms mean... okay, public IP. So I should have one of these? How do I find out what it is, then?
[08:13] <eth> mmu_man, create an alias in your vhost config file
[08:13] <saloxin> mmu_man: it should drop a config snippet in under/etc/apache - reload apache?
[08:13] <mmu_man> the doc at file:///usr/share/phpmyadmin/Documentation.html just states the "official" installation (get the tar, ...)
[08:13] <eth> saloxin, sometimes it doesnt appear there for some reasons
[08:13] <saloxin> gah. bugreport.
[08:14] <mmu_man> eth:  so I should tell apache to graft /usr/share/phpmyadmin somewhere ?
[08:14] <noren___> hi anyone using realplayer with ubuntu, my vids in rel player get stuck everyfew second
[08:14] <mmu_man> let's see
[08:14] <magnetron> PoisonIvy→ usually it's the IP adress of your computer. unless you have a router, then it's the WAN IP adress of the router
[08:14] <mmu_man> actually I do have: /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf:Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
[08:15] <mmu_man> maybe it's not reached soewhere
[08:15] <saloxin> mmu_man: restart apache2?
[08:15] <haaga> anyone tried the nslu2 version of ubuntu?
[08:15] <PoisonIvy> magnetron: Oh-kay. I tried my IP but it didn't work... I'll fiddle around. I have to go now, so.. thanks. I'll keep trying later.
[08:15] <mmu_man> oh wait, nevermind, forcing <IP_ADDRESS>/phpmyadmin actually seems to work
[08:16] <mmu_man> it just doesn't show up in the listing in /
[08:16] <gh0st3r> crdlb, hmmm.... i cant get the two screens to work now.... how do i configure the driver?
[08:16] <mmu_man> apache is weird...
[08:16] <eth> mmu_man, that is because it an alias
[08:16] <crdlb> gh0st3r: use nvidia-settings
[08:16] <eth> it isn't a real directory
[08:16] <saloxin> mmu_man: expected behaviour actually, although slightly confusing.
[08:16] <mmu_man> indeed
[08:16] <mmu_man> thx anyway
[08:17] <danielito> hi guys. which filebrowser can you recommend a windows user that is migrating to ubuntu? I'm so used to the windows explorer
[08:17] <mmu_man> now I need to remember that oscommerce db password
[08:17] <Keal_> what are 'locking keys'? i did the setup for orca and said yes to enabling that
[08:17] <Keal_> i said no to braile tho

[08:24] <doleyb> mashman: You can either shrink your winxp partititoon, or repalce it
[08:25] <danielito> gartral: and do I have to configure nautilus a lot? because it appears to me quite different than the windows explorer which I like, becuase I always have a complete directory structure on the left side
[08:25] <gartral> y0bw0c: is it plugged into a USB 1.1 or 2.0 slot?
[08:25] <danielito> can I configure this behaviour with nautilus as well?
[08:25] <y0bw0c> 2.0 i believe, i'll pm you.
[08:25] <Vampire> can ayone help me
[08:25] <mashman> doleyb can you give me a documentation how to shrink my winxp partition
[08:25] <ysis> Vampire: Just ask. ^^
[08:26] <doleyb> mashman: When you start the ubuntu installer, it asks if it should shrink.  It's pretty easy to figure out.
[08:26] <gartral> danielito: see the Places drop? hit it and switch to Tree
[08:26] <doleyb> mashman: Also you might like to try wubi instead
[08:26] <doleyb> !wubi
[08:26] <gartral> !pm | y0bw0c
[08:26] <ysis> mashman: Make sure to backup your data before fiddling with resizing partitions.

[08:27] <y0bw0c> k...
[08:27] <mashman> oic doleyb and what if i want to keep my existing windows and install ubuntu ?
[08:27] <jio> I have a process running at 100% CPU and it is marked as uninterruptible. sudo kill 9 PID does not work, neither does killing it with system monitor. is there *any* way to kill the process?
[08:27] <y0bw0c> How would I go about checking if it is a 1.1 or 2.0 USB port?
[08:27] <mashman> could i use it also my existing windows ?
[08:28] <danielito> gartral: wow. not that bad ;) thanks a lot for starting me up!
[08:28] <doleyb> mashman: Well you need some disk space for ubuntu.  You can either give it a new hard drive that you buy, a partition on your drive, or just a big file within the winxp ntfs.
[08:28] <Keal_> MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK BECAUSE OF ORCA, HOW DO I ENABLE USING IT AGAIN?
[08:29] <gartral> danielito: no problem, i think you'll find ubuntu quite comfortable if you explore and let yourself get curious...
[08:29] <ysis> Keal_: Try Shift + Caps Lock
[08:29] <Keal_> DIDN'T WORK
[08:29] <lakitu> hey - is there anything wrong with this command? cat "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.001" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.002" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.003" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.004" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.005" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.006" < "/media/disk/Backups/1-19.7z"

[08:32] <lakitu> jtaji, ok
[08:33] <maxagaz> hellmitre, "little dots to the left of the window list" ?

[08:33] <Keal_> :/
[08:33] <hellmitre> they're the window list's home base, essentially

[08:34] <gartral> not that i know of, unless switching runlevels would work, but i highy recomend not messing with your runlevels
[08:34] <mashman> doleyb could i pm ?
[08:34] <doleyb> mashman: Well first you can run ubuntu a bit off livecd to practice.  Then reboot to windows and run Wubi.
[08:35] <maxagaz> hellmitre, i also found a group and tab windows gadget in compiz, but i don't understand what does it do
[08:36] <hellmitre> maxagaz: that allows you to select windows and group them into tabs, to keep them organized
[08:36] <gartral> mashman: make your live session a little faster, theres a wayto load the disk too ram and run that way
[08:36] <gartral> jio:  not that i know of, unless switching runlevels would work, but i highy recomend not messing with your runlevels
[08:36] <maxagaz> hellmitre, it doesn't look to work for me
[08:36] <hellmitre> I've never tried it, maxagaz
[08:37] <maxagaz> hellmitre, ok
[08:37] <hellmitre> a few things in compiz never seemed to work for me, maxagaz
[08:38] <gartral> hellmitre: a few things in compiz need extra setup to work right, and some just plain dud out
[08:38] <hellmitre> yep
[08:38] <gartral> maxagaz: see my post too hellmitre
[08:38] <aprilhare> hello
[08:38] <bimi> !grub
[08:39] <Keal_> WHY IS MY CAPSLOCK KEY STUCK TURNED ON?
[08:39] <aprilhare> Keal_: damaged keyboard?
[08:39] <gartral> Keal_: because you have failed to configure orca corectly
[08:39] <maxagaz> gartral, i saw it, and i think so
[08:39] <hellmitre> compiz still has several 'features' that are broken
[08:39] <Keal_> HOW DO I CONFIGURE ORCA TO NOT STICK CAPSLOCK
[08:40] <aprilhare> Keal_: well for starters you're using xchat not orca
[08:40] <Keal_> :<
[08:40] <hellmitre> you could turn off Orca, Keal
[08:40] <gartral> hellmitre: well... thats not true.. some just take and extremely ridiculously powerfull gfx card
[08:40] <Keal_> I DID
[08:40] <maxagaz> the virtual keyboard doesn't work for me with orca, also it seems there's a conflict between compiz and orca
[08:41] <aprilhare> hmmmmmm.
[08:41] <hellmitre> gartral, all the features requiring a good graphics card work for me, but some (like grouping/tabbing windows) never do anything of value
[08:41] <danielito> gartral: ah, I know amarok. I checked this out on a live linux once, it's reeeaaallly great. but what about mplayer? i thought this is a good one too. I don't like totem i have to say
[08:42] <hellmitre> mplayer is bare-bones, basically
[08:42] <hellmitre> not a great media manager
[08:42] <danielito> well. I don't need a media manager just for playing my movies hellmitre
[08:42] <trippppy> anyone using leadtek pci-e TV tuner under *nix?
[08:42] <gartral> hellmitre: ahh, those are for windows that don't natively support tabs, try and open two evolution instances and try grouping them :)
[08:43] <gartral> danielito: mpayer takes LOOAAADDSS of preliminary setup to get playing anything
[08:43] <Keal_> now capslock is permanently turned off >:/
[08:44] <Keal_> i guess That is better than nothing . :<
[08:44] <simplexio> danielito: mplayer is choice if you want player wich plays anything, but you dont care that much GUIs, i find mplayer best because it has easy keybindings
[08:44] <gartral> !orca
[08:44] <trippppy> !leadtek
[08:44] <doleyb> gartral: mplayer setup is easy and fast with medibuntu's packages
[08:45] <gartral> doleyb: for migrating windows users?
[08:45] <Keal_> i hit disable sticky keys when two keys held together and pressed shift+capslock now capslock is permanently turned off >:/
[08:45] <gartral> Keal_: alt-caps lock, i beleive, or ctrl-caps...
[08:46] <danielito> simplexio: indeed I don't need a gui at all, my gui for browsing my moviez is nautilus
[08:46] <Keal_> didn't do anythign >:/
[08:46] <danielito> simplexio: but isn't the development of mplayer still alive?
[08:46] <ubd> hello how do i ssh to another machine, which program shall i install?
[08:46] <doleyb> gartral: Yes, it's not any harder than any other player to setup
[08:46] <hellmitre> ubd: what operating system is that machine running?
[08:47] <doleyb> udb: ubuntu already has ssh with it, type ssh
[08:47] <hellmitre> if it's running any flavor of linux, installing the openssh-server should do it
[08:47] <maxagaz> i have installed ubuntu using preseed (on PXE) but it installed me a system with arabic keyboard by default, how to change that ?
[08:48] <gartral> doleyb: see... mplayer just dies on me, no matter what i do too it, and it has so, accross all my computers, across all versions of linux, and it seems espetially unstable in ubuntu, ever since 6.06
[08:49] <killahrs> anybody klnow of a tv streamin program that would work on xubuntu on ps3?
[08:49] <hellmitre> I think development on mplayer in ubuntu stopped when other media players ended up better and with more features, gartral
[08:49] <hellmitre> but that's as far as I know
[08:50] <gartral> hellmitre: im not complaining, i ussually dump it as soo as i install ubuntu, for its lack of worth too me
[08:50] <LogicFan> anyone heard of firefox remapping mouse buttons sporadically on the fly?
[08:50] <doleyb> gartral: that's pretty funny... what player do you use instead?
[08:51] <hellmitre> I use banshee, personally, though no one's asked me >_>
[08:51] <hellmitre> banshee for music, VLC for movies, mpd occasionally when I'm restarting X a lot
[08:51] <PWilder> Does anyone know how I can save all my Ipod photos?
[08:51] <gartral> doleyb: vlc, wich works beautifully, on occasion ill use dragon... i havent tried banshee, though i installed it
[08:52] <PWilder> I mean, I want to get them off of my Ipod and put them into my pictures folder.
[08:52] <hellmitre> banshee's the best media manager I've gotten my hands on so far
[08:52] <hellmitre> I tried songbird but that was way too resource-intensive
[08:52] <LogicFan> i use a combo on songbird and banshee
[08:52] <LogicFan> on=of
[08:53] <PWilder> LogicFan: can you a bit more specific?
[08:53] <PWilder> songbird doesn't handle photos.
[08:53] <LogicFan> PWilder, i haven't decided which i like better, so i use both
[08:53] <LogicFan> i like songbird's extension capabilities and web-functions, but banshee is much faster
[08:53] <gartral> LogicFan:  i like songbird on windows, havent even thought to try the linux one yet, did they ever land gstreamer as there engine?
[08:54] <LogicFan> PWilder, why would it?  its a music player
[08:54] <LogicFan> yes, gstreamer
[08:54] <maxagaz> can i install ubuntu 64 bits on Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 ?
[08:54] <LogicFan> maxagaz, yes
[08:54] <PWilder> LogicFan: I need to export photos to my computer. Not music.
[08:54] <gartral> maxagaz: yes, i believe so
[08:54] <hellmitre> are pentium dual cores 64 bit processors?
[08:54] <PWilder> I am using Gtkpod for that which i like better than those two progams.
[08:54] <bimi> can somebody please help me? i have 2 hard disk, the first one has ubuntu and vista, the second hard disk has xp; the problem is grub only detects the xp, how do configure grub to boot into vista?
[08:54] <gartral> maxagaz: dont sweat, if it wont load, it will tell you to go get a 32 bit disk
[08:55] <LogicFan> hellmitre, yes
[08:55] <hellmitre> huh
[08:55] <hellmitre> didn't know that :)
[08:55] <PWilder> does anyone know how to Export photos from an Ipod?
[08:55] <PWilder> I am using GPixPod, but it doesn't let me do a mass export.
[08:55] <gartral> PWilder: search ipod manager in the repos
[08:55] <PWilder> I did, and nothing is close by GPixPod.
[08:55] <PWilder> but*
[08:55] <hellmitre> I've heard of Hipo as being a decent iPod manager
[08:56] <PWilder> Hipo is having problems recognizing my Ipod.
[08:56] <hellmitre> oh
[08:56] <gartral> does hipo manage other devices (sans, to be exact)
[08:56] <hellmitre> lameskates; sorry to hear that
[08:56] <maxagaz> gartral, does it mean that in the future, ubuntu 32 will become obsolete ?
[08:56] <gartral> s// sans sansa
[08:56] <hellmitre> maxagaz, as more and more processors become 64 bit machines, eventually ubuntu 64 will become more used
[08:56] <PWilder> maxagaz: 64bit is best for either 64bit or 32bit with m ore than 4gigs ram.
[08:57] <gartral> maxagaz: only if 32 bit procs are ever put out of production, but thats not even close too being a reality
[08:57] <hellmitre> but 32bit ubuntu oughtta run on 64 bit machines, too
[08:57] <PWilder> hellmitre: It has serious compatibility problems on a 32bit system with less than 4 gigs ram.
[08:57] <hellmitre> really?
[08:57] <PWilder> Yes.
[08:58] <jscinoz> ]/win 27
[08:58] <jscinoz> oops
[08:58] <hellmitre> I've run ubuntu 64bit on several 32bit machines with no issues
[08:58] <dennda> Does anybody happen to know where in KDE4 I can set Firefox as default browser and not Konqueror?
[08:58] <I1> i have to compile a kernel with debug option and install it on my ubuntu 8.04, i have tryed make -> make modules -> make install but it doesn't work.....anyone could help me?????
[09:02] <gartral> is there a terminal gui that renders the window(s) thats behind it instead of just the bg image?
[09:02] <dennda> gartral: Are you looking for true transparency? In that case I suggest compiz or some other compositing
[09:03] <maxagaz> what does mean "preseed on the kernel command line this: console-setup/layoutcode=us" ? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/328078)
[09:03] <ubd2>  how do i change the dhcp conf - gateway netmask etc?
[09:03] <gartral> dennda: i dont always use compiz, as i have many games... ide like a terminal that had true pransparency
[09:04] <simplexio> danielito: far as i know
[09:05] <beli> gartral: trans isnt done by the application itself...it always needs the X system to support it...at least for real trans
[09:05] <gartral> hmmm amarok lyric grabber, Astraweb or Lyrc, which is more accurate?
[09:06] <gartral> beli: konsole can, but its ugly-slow
[09:07] <killahrs> i got linux on ps3 now, the flash or java wont work, tv streamin is hopeless.
[09:07] <ubd2> yooooo how do ý change the network settýngs
[09:08] <killahrs> upper right corner dude
[09:08] <ubd2> from teminal?
[09:08] <beli> gartral: console? or terminal?
[09:08] <gartral> ubd2 upper right corner, looks like two screens "blinking"
[09:09] <gartral> beli: Konsole...
[09:09] <gartral> !konsole
[09:09] <ubd2> gartral: i am using ssh
[09:09] <beli> gartral: it cannot...just fake trans....real trans is done by the X system
[09:10] <beli> gartral: and yes, real trans is a resource eating monster :)
[09:11] <nikko> ubd2, try see this article http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[09:12] <maxagaz> why ubuntu 64 is called amd64 if it
[09:12] <maxagaz> why ubuntu 64 is called amd64 if it's also for intel with more than 4GB of ram ?
[09:14] <gartral> maxagaz: because it uses the "common" Athlon 64 bit structure, not the proprietary Itanium one
[09:14] <gartral> at least thats what inve been told
[09:14] <maxagaz> inve?
[09:14] <r00tlinu> i've
[09:14] <ikonia> maxagaz: amd674 is basiclly the name for x86_^4
[09:15] <ikonia> maxagaz: amd674 is basiclly the name for x86_64
[09:15] <gartral> r00tlinu: yes, thankyou...
[09:15] <SlimeyPete> maxagaz: because AMD developed their 64-bit x86 architecture before Intel did, and the Intel one is compatible with the AMD one
[09:15] <Rods_Tiger> is it possible to display a clock and a weather display on top of a photograph display in ubuntu, as a permanently running display?
[09:15]  * r00tlinu nods
[09:15] <SlimeyPete> so a lot of people refer to both architectures as "amd64"
[09:16] <SlimeyPete> erm, that was aimed at gartral ;)
[09:16] <dandre> hello,
[09:16] <gartral> SlimeyPete: yes, its compatible on a base level, but the itanium one has a few stability features the amd64 specs ignore
[09:17] <odysseas> Hi guys, does the default ubuntu installation include tools to create a dial-up connection?
[09:17] <SlimeyPete> gartral: itanium isn't compatible at all. You mean EMT64.
[09:18] <r00tlinu> it should.
[09:18] <SlimeyPete> Itanium != x86-64 :)
[09:18] <SlimeyPete> gartral: but yes, fair point
[09:18] <gartral> ahh yes, your useage of "is compatible" confused me
[09:18] <SlimeyPete> ah.
[09:18] <Gothfunc> hi.  anyone managed to get HDMI audio working on any version of ubuntu?
[09:19] <dandre> I am trying to mount a samba share from a server which is ISO8859 encoded on an ubuntu station UTF8 encoded. When I use mount.cifs, I get  filenames not properly encoded but if I mount with nautilus (gvfs) it is ok. How can I have the same behaviour from commandline?
[09:19] <H3l1c0pt3r> right now i have just ubuntu installed on my entire hard disk. how can i partition it, then install windows xp on the second partition but still have the grub bootloader intact and work for both linux and windows?
[09:20] <Cappientes> H3l1c0pt3r, it's probably better to partition it first
[09:21] <H3l1c0pt3r> well i would have to partition it first to install another os...
[09:21] <Cappientes> then install windows then install ubuntu (so grub is the last boot manager to be installed to the MBR
[09:21] <H3l1c0pt3r> i dont want to reinstall ubuntu, i have it installed already
[09:21] <Cappientes> I see
[09:21] <H3l1c0pt3r> thats why im asking how i can do it the other way
[09:21] <H3l1c0pt3r> regardless of it being more difficult
[09:21] <r00tlinu> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/40234-install-windows-after-linux.html ?
[09:21] <r00tlinu> go go captain google.
[09:21] <H3l1c0pt3r> lol
[09:23] <r00tlinu> http://tinyurl.com/dhcenb
[09:23] <r00tlinu> better link.
[09:23] <jtaji> !fixgrub | H3l1c0pt3r
[09:24] <H3l1c0pt3r> k thx
[09:24] <killahrs> is myth tv any good yo? i cant afford the tv bill.
[09:24] <H3l1c0pt3r> oh and yeah thx for the tinyurl r00tlinu
[09:25] <ziroday`> killahrs: it records tv, so you still need a working tv.
[09:25] <killahrs> oh
[09:25] <ziroday`> killahrs: however if you are in the US you can use Hulu to watch tv.
[09:25] <killahrs> ziroday: are there any programs with tv channels?
[09:25] <wijnand> Can anyone tell me what is the best (easiest to setup and maintain) CalDAV server for Ubuntu? I'm using Ubuntu Server 8.10 atm
[09:26] <r00tlinu> =]
[09:26] <ziroday`> killahrs: miro perhaps?
[09:26] <killahrs> no im in norway
[09:26] <ziroday`> killahrs: take a look at miro.
[09:26] <killahrs> miro ok thnx!
[09:26] <dimebar> killahrs: zatoo also, depending on where you are
[09:27] <r00tlinu> what's the best way to install an IRC client on 8.10 server ed.?
[09:27] <dimebar> r00tlinu: sudo aptitude install irssi
[09:27] <r00tlinu> ircd-hybrid any decent?
[09:27] <ziroday`> r00tlinu: an irc client or irc server? ircd-hybrid is an irc server
[09:28] <riwa> Where do the stuff I install w/ apt-get go to?
[09:28] <Oakbox>  Hi all, I'm having trouble with host names, anyone around to maybe help out?  I can ping other computers on my local network by IP but not by name...  I have just changed my ISP/router and have just recently setup an ubuntu server (LTS) box.
[09:28] <r00tlinu> touche, i meant ircd server
[09:28] <ziroday`> riwa: all over the place. What are you looking for exactly?
[09:28] <jtaji> !fhs | riwa
[09:28] <riwa> gnome-btdownload
[09:28] <r00tlinu>  /var/cache/apt iirc
[09:29] <r00tlinu>  /var/cache/apt/archives ***
[09:29] <ziroday`> r00tlinu: well they are known to be fairly complicated to setup. I believe freenode uses hybrid. You _might_ get better help/recommendations in #freenode
[09:29] <arip30> #dak-ym.fm
[09:29] <dimebar> riwa: if you open synaptic, find the package in question, right click, properties -> installed files.. you'll get a list of what's been installed by that particular package
[09:30] <riwa> dimebar:  I don't care what's been installed. I care "where" it went.
[09:30] <Keal_> i can't figure out how to get darksnow to start :/
[09:30] <r00tlinu> try /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:30] <AnArrayfulOfPerl> can i use a co.cc domain name on ubuntu? if so, can someone give me a link
[09:30] <Oakbox> riwa: of if your a comand line person I think you can type dpkg --listfiles <your package name>
[09:31] <Keal_> how do i start darksnow?
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[09:31] <lakitu> can anyone help me understand why this command is not resulting in a working 7z file? cat "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.001" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.002" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.003" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.004" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.005" "G 2009-01-08 18;41;58.7z.006" > "/media/disk/Backups/2009-1-08.7z"

[09:31] <dimebar> riwa: where what went?
[09:31] <AnArrayfulOfPerl> can i use a co.cc domain name on ubuntu? if so, can someone give me a link?
[09:32] <ziroday`> AnArrayfulOfPerl: what exactly do you mean?
[09:32] <lakitu> the 7z file is the right size, but keeps saying it's not a valid/recognizable etc archive
[09:32] <Gothfunc> i have an ATI sapphire hd3850 graphics card, and i'm trying to get HDMI audio working so i can pump the sound through my lcd tv.  the HDMI device shows up in aplay -l and i have used asoundconf-gtk to set it as the default device.  it works for some applications, but not for others.  any ideas why this might be?
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> Keal_: you should just be able to type darksnow in terminal and it will launch
[09:33] <riwa> dimebar: My pkg's
[09:33] <AnArrayfulOfPerl> you can get free domain names from co.cc, and i have one. can i use it on ubuntu?
[09:33] <Gothfunc> i've tried both hardy and jaunty, both have the same results.  i can play a music file in totem but the same music file won't work in vlc.
[09:33] <jtaji> lakitu: what happens if you open just the .001 file with 7zip?
[09:33] <ziroday`> AnArrayfulOfPerl: well you have to connect a server to it...
[09:33] <jtaji> lakitu: first off, have you installed p7zip ?
[09:33] <Keal_> how do i make a desktop shortcut to darksnow ?
[09:33] <lakitu> jtaji, it doesn't recognize it. & yes
[09:33] <dimebar> riwa: i told you the answer; they go all over the place.  using the method i said above will tell you what went where
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> AnArrayfulOfPerl: sure, jusy update the name to resolve to your ip
[09:33] <r00tlinu> right-click create launcher
[09:34] <Keal_> r00tlinu, i don't know what to right click

[09:36] <gladiator> hi.. i am having lots of problems with ubuntu today.. first i was unable to mount a usb drive.. i switched to windows to copy the data and now i cant mount the drive i put the data into.. it says the partition is marked as "in use"
[09:36] <killahrs> anyone knows a program that turns pictures into aschii? :p
[09:37] <Keal_> what do i put as 'mount point' in darksnow??
[09:37] <r00tlinu> do you know what /dev device it is?
[09:37] <r00tlinu> hda1, hda2, etc
[09:37] <Keal_> what are those?
[09:37] <Niphyr> Uh, playing with my LiveCD for the first time, trying to set a resolution other than 800x600 or 640x480 to see what it looks like in a native res.. having no luck though
[09:37] <riwa> killahrs: There's on called png2ascii (i think). Google the subject.
[09:37] <Niphyr> Everytime I install / update drivers it asks fora r estart, when I restart it's back how it was
[09:37] <killahrs> cool thank u'
[09:37] <lakitu> jtaji, is there a way to test the .001-.006 files?
[09:37] <r00tlinu> when you try to mount it, click the more details.
[09:37] <simplexio>  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7951403.stm
[09:37] <bazhang> simplexio, dont paste that here
[09:38] <Keal_> brb giving rats water
[09:38] <jtaji> lakitu: I don't know, do you know who/what split it?
[09:38] <lakitu> jtaji, windows prog, Cobian Backup
[09:38] <simplexio> miss past, my mouse decited to try run away
[09:38] <lakitu> jtaji, i'm *pretty sure* these were good
[09:38] <lakitu> meaning, i think i used them once
[09:38] <gladiator> hi.. i am having lots of problems with ubuntu today.. first i was unable to mount a usb drive.. i switched to windows to copy the data and now i cant mount the drive i put the data into.. it says the partition is marked as "in use".. anyone??
[09:38] <henkpoley> After installing a kernel module from source, what is the command again to refresh the modprobe cache ? (update-modules isn't it..)
[09:39] <Niphyr> If anyone has any suggestions, would be appreciated :)
[09:39] <jtaji> lakitu: there's a good chance the files can't simply be cat'd together then
[09:39] <lakitu> jtaji, well, i BELIEVE (not positive) i did it once. that's why i'm so discombobulated over this
[09:39] <Keal_> back r00tlinu
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: boot back to windows, then use the safetly remove hardrware thng and detatch the drive from the system
[09:39] <Keal_> r00tlinu,  what are dev hdthingies
[09:40] <lakitu> jtaji, i'm not missing any arguments/etc to pass to cat?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: this will free it up
[09:40] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: its another partition on my hdd.. not external
[09:40] <Wild_Cat> about 2 weeks ago, I lost all sound in Flash. Trying to read e.g. a Youtube video causes 60+ connection attempts in PulseAudio manager, no sound, and a basically unusable PulseAudio until I manually kill/restart it. Any idea what may be causing this?
[09:40] <BABER> hi
[09:40] <r00tlinu> keal, try this (04:39:39 AM) ActionParsnip: gladiator: boot back to windows, then use the safetly remove hardrware thng and detatch the drive from the system
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: then manually mount it with the force option
[09:40] <Niphyr> ActionParsnip: if you have a minute could you give my quick query a go?
[09:40] <jtaji> lakitu: no the cat command looks good
[09:40] <Wild_Cat> (I'm using a regular Intrepid install)
[09:40] <lakitu> jtaji, hm. ok. thanks for the help
[09:41] <gartral> gnight all
[09:41] <r00tlinu> sudo mount -o force ?
[09:41] <henkpoley> Aw, wait they didn't document you need to do "make install" (doh) the put the module in the right place
[09:41] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: it won't cause any problems? when i log back on to windows?
[09:41] <r00tlinu> no.
[09:41] <BABER> is konqueror installed on ubuntu or i have to install it manually?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Niphyr: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update
[09:41] <Keal_> what does this mean? "r00tlinu> when you try to mount it, click the more details."
[09:41] <r00tlinu>  /server <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:41] <Niphyr> I'll try that.
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> BABER: no as its a kde app, you can install it but you will install qt libs which it depends on
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: did the shutdown complete ok?
[09:42] <H3l1c0pt3r> i found this screenshot: http://i42.tinypic.com/2m3qt7a.jpg    I want a launcher like on the bottom of the screen for utorrent and firefox and such (the text launcher) what is it called? can i get a clone?
[09:42] <r00tlinu> the dialog that says the device is in use, there should be an option that shows more details.
[09:42] <tudor> any japanese in here?
[09:42] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: yes.. i did a restart
[09:42] <Keal_> r00tlinu,  what dialog?
[09:43] <r00tlinu> when you insert your usb cable.
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: no errors at all?
[09:43] <r00tlinu> the one that says the device is in use
[09:43] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: no .. i didnt get anything..
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: manuall mount with force should mount it ok
[09:43] <Keal_> r00tlinu,  i have no idea what you are talking about
[09:43] <lakitu> tudor, #ubuntu-jp
[09:44] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: i do get some errors when i try to mount usb drive in ubuntu though
[09:44] <sachin_> hello,guys...when i open my terminal or firefox or anything thing it shows me processing for some time..and then nothing happens
[09:44] <sachin_> any idea whats problem
[09:44] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: What if there were errors and i didnt notice?
[09:45] <ysis> How many fps should glxgears give me when OpenGL is working fine? (I have a GeForce2 MX 200)
[09:45] <sachin_> hello,guys...when i open my terminal or firefox or anything thing it shows me processing for some time..and then nothing happens
[09:46] <sachin_> any idea what is problem
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: then you got a windows issue with releasing the partition
[09:46] <Keal_> what do i put as 'mount point' in darksnow??
[09:46] <killahrs> your computer too slow maybe.
[09:46] <sachin_> no its has 4GB ram
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> ysis: depends on cpu, glxgears is a bad test of 3d goodness
[09:46] <sachin_> its latest DELL
[09:46] <haaga> hum, what will send me to hell faster? Installing Ubuntu Satanic Ed or Windows Vista?
[09:47] <bazhang> !ot | haaga
[09:47] <ysis> ActionParsnip, I just want to make sure that I got all the hardware acceleration which is possible.
[09:47] <haaga> sorry about that.
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> ysis: glxingo | grep -i direct
[09:47] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: I hope its not that.. but i guess it will get the partition if ubuntu doesnt lock it when i shut it down.. i have to manually mount this volume every time i start ubuntu.. and it gives me an error for the first time
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> oops
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> glxinfo
[09:47] <lakitu> jtaji, thing is, i swore i did this before
[09:48] <lakitu> if not with this set, with another, made by Cobian. so i know you 'can'
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: you can mount with force to make it mount
[09:48] <lakitu> i don't know, maybe it was a different set, & this set just happens to be messed up
[09:48] <BABER> what is the best download manager with resume support?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> BABER: there is no best
[09:49] <r00tlinu> Vista, btw.
[09:49] <sachin_> hey guys..do u have answer to my problems....when ever i boot my ubuntu intrepid...and open anything its shows me the temporary processing and then nothing happens
[09:49] <gh0st3r> is there problems with 8.10 and running firefox? firefox keeps making the screen flicker!
[09:49] <gh0st3r> ?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> BABER: best doesnt exist anywhere outside your own opinion on your own taste
[09:49] <gartral> before i go, i have one last question, i have a cdrom with a now ancient feature, a headphone jack... how do i play through it?
[09:49] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: i did this: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/New\ Volume -o force  and it didnt work. says: fuse: failed to access mount point /media/New Volume
[09:50] <r00tlinu> mkdir /media/newvolume
[09:50] <sachin_> i think there's no solution to my problem in this room
[09:50] <BABER> ActionParsnip: i want support premium account rapidshare
[09:50] <ysis> sachin_, can you open 'xterm' from the dialog you get with Alt+F2?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: i'd use -o force,uid=1000
[09:50] <killahrs> gartral: cds work..
[09:50] <r00tlinu> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/newvolume -o force
[09:50] <sachin_> ok...sure
[09:50] <sachin_> yes opened
[09:50] <sachin_> now what
[09:50] <gladiator> r00tlinu: same thing, ActionParsnip: uid=1000? didtn get you there
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> BABER: i'd try a few, see which support the service.
[09:51] <haaga> anyone tried the nslu2 version of ubuntu?
[09:51] <ysis> sachin_: try to start your desired application there. e.g. type 'firefox'
[09:51] <gartral> killahrs: yes, i know, im playing one, and ide like the output through the cdroms hardware, not my sound card...
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: it allows users to write  to the partition as ntfs permissions are retarded
[09:51] <lakitu> what is the (if any) graphical p7zip cli name?
[09:51] <BABER> ActionParsnip: rapidshare
[09:51] <killahrs> thats about what u get man. shit is old.
[09:51] <bazhang> killahrs, watch the language
[09:51] <gartral> !ohmy killahrs
[09:52] <bazhang> haaga, what is that
[09:52] <gartral> !ohmy | killahrs
[09:52] <sachin_> ok...let me explain my problem in detail....after booting my laptop...i need to login with different account to make my laptop work
[09:52] <gladiator> ActionParsnip: gives me the same thing
[09:52] <killahrs> k
[09:52] <r00tlinu> any good shell scripting irc channels?
[09:52] <[1]CGA> Noone for a problem of charset ...?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: once you get 7zip install ok then file-roller will manage it ok.   just use   7z x my7Zzipfile
[09:52] <ysis> sachin_: You use Intrepid with Gnome?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> r00tlinu: try #bash
[09:53] <ysis> What do you mean by 'make it work', please be more specific.
[09:53] <riwa> join #rtorrent
[09:54] <haaga> dist blt for the linksys nslu2
[09:54] <lakitu> ActionParsnip, but file-roller isn't working, so i'm trying alt.s.  is there a gui for p7zip? - or no
[09:54] <haaga> bazhang: dist built for the linksys nslu2
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> gartral: you need to run a cd playing software and jam some phones n there, the little dial is for volume
[09:54] <bazhang> haaga, official ubuntu or not
[09:54] <Mba7eth> g
[09:54] <gh0st3r> my screen is flickering like crazy!
[09:54] <gh0st3r> what the heck?
[09:54] <haaga> i think its official
[09:54] <bazhang> gh0st3r, try disabling compiz
[09:54] <bazhang> haaga, link
[09:55] <haaga> hold on
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: not that i know of, the cli is simple though. i thought file roller would manage it. ark does it so i figured fileroller would
[09:55] <gartral> ActionParsnip: .... i know i needed headphone, anvd ive tryed with vlc, sound juicer and exaile...
[09:55] <Keal_> what do i put as 'mount point' in darksnow??
[09:55] <lakitu> ActionParsnip, it probably does, but i'm having trouble with a cat'ed .7z file, so i'm trying alternative methods
[09:56] <gartral> ActionParsnip: they all play through the soundcard, none through the cd drives device
[09:56] <haaga> bazhang: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: cat'd 7z files?
[09:56] <gh0st3r> bazhang, nope still going like crazy :(
[09:56] <gh0st3r> bazhang, other ideas? :S
[09:56] <lakitu> ActionParsnip, a bunch of .001, .002, ... files that i cat'ed into one .7z file
[09:56] <bazhang> haaga, did you have an issue installing it?
[09:57] <bazhang> gh0st3r, sounds like driver issue
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> gartral: i thought audio played through, do you ave the cd audio cable connected from the soundcard direct to the driive?
[09:57] <gh0st3r> bazhang, i have a 9800 and using nvidia-180. is that what could be causing it :S
[09:57] <bazhang> gh0st3r, this is intrepid?
[09:58] <killahrs> i got an idea. someone should make a linux/something for the otheros optionfor playstation in java or whatever with .mkv codecs flac so on. i mean. basicly just a linux lite lite.
[09:58] <gh0st3r> bazhang, yea
[09:58] <BABER> whith which command can test md5 file?
[09:58] <gartral> ActionParsnip: i said it once CDS WORK! though the sound card, i want the output through the front port, on the cdrom...
[09:58] <lakitu> jtaji, ActionParsnip, i'm trying another set now
[09:58] <ysis> BABER: md5sum
[09:58] <bazhang> killahrs, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[09:58] <bazhang> gh0st3r, doing a forums search
[09:59] <killahrs> oh...'
[09:59] <kelli> can anyone tell me the best site to learn linux on is?
[09:59] <killahrs> ok
[09:59] <gartral> ActionParsnip: and no, i removed the card that stopped working, the intergrated card doesnt have a place for an audio connector
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> gartral: i think you need the cable from sound card to the drive to route the audio back. kill the caps. i can read lower case
[09:59] <gh0st3r> bazhang, thanks :)
[09:59] <kelli> can anyone tell me the best site to learn linux on is?
[09:59] <ysis> kelli: Just use it. ;-)
[09:59] <gh0st3r> kelli, start with the ubuntu help docs
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> kelli: www.ask.com www.google.com www.ubuntuforums.com
[09:59] <ysis> kelli: And google your problems.
[10:00] <bazhang> kelli, ubuntu or linux in general
[10:00] <gartral> ActionParsnip: i didn't relise the caps was on, im sorry
[10:00] <bazhang> !rute | kelli
[10:00] <kelli> linux
[10:00] <gartral> ActionParsnip: and no, the cable didnt help when i had it attached either
[10:00] <bazhang> kelli, there is also a free ubuntu guide (pdf) you can download
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> gartral: there is a 4 pin connector that connects to the soundcard to the back of the cd drive, i think that gives  the audio there
[10:01] <lakitu> gartral, the cable has got to be connected ..
[10:01] <Niphyr> ActionParsnip: Under hardware drivers, it says i need to restart to activate the nVidia driver... but if I do that the whole system reverts to defaults (Live CD)
[10:01] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html kelli
[10:01] <gartral> ActionParsnip: with or without, it didnt matter, im not dumb...
[10:01] <kelli> bazhang, thanks
[10:01] <Niphyr> I tried sudo apt-get clean and install. clean returned nothing, install returned all 0
[10:02] <g4lt-lappy> clean doesn't ever return anything
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> Niphyr: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:02] <gartral> Niphyr: try sudo killall gdm, and restart gdm with sudo gdm after you've installed the drivers
[10:02] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia   recommended, and not: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual gh0st3r
[10:03] <gartral> ActionParsnip: and as i said, the intergrated card doesn't have a space for said hardware audio transpoert
[10:03] <g4lt-lappy> PROTOP, use pkill vice killall if you don't want to ruin your sysV finger-memory
[10:03] <bazhang> gh0st3r, seems some have probs with the 80 and that card, may have been solved according to forums link (with above links)
[10:03] <g4lt-lappy> PROTIP even
[10:03] <gartral> s// transpert/transport
[10:03] <g4lt-lappy> killall has a bit different meaning on AT&T unixes
[10:03] <Niphyr> ActionParsnip: Both were all 0... trying gartrals suggestion now...
[10:03] <r00tlinu> ??? 4. profit?
[10:04] <cast> g4lt-lappy: finger-memory being?
[10:04] <gartral> >.< i cant even spell my mispellings correctly
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> gartral: apparently it only works if you dont use DAE
[10:04] <gartral> how do i use that?
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> gartral: not sure what that is though
[10:04] <lakitu> i must say, i've been using windows for the last few months, & it's nice to be back in linux/ubuntu
[10:04] <g4lt-lappy> cast, eventually if you type in something enough, it becomes automatic and you sometimes just type in a word without thinking
[10:04] <gartral> Direct Audio Engine, i believe
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> gartral: from a forum: If possible, try plugging a set of headphones into the front of the CD drive and see if that produces output. I'm pretty sure that the headphone jack on the front of the drive only works when a CD is being played normally and not in DAE mode. It should at least prove/disprove if normal CD audio is working at the drive level.
[10:05] <cast> g4lt-lappy: ok, and?
[10:05] <cast> g4lt-lappy: ah, i see. that tip was a waste of bytes.
[10:05] <g4lt-lappy> cast really, do a killall on HP-SUX
[10:05] <Niphyr> gartral: sudo killall gdm; froze the system then ~30 seconds after the machine rebooted on me.. back at square one again
[10:06] <gartral> ActionParsnip: really... take a sec and think here, would i have asked if it worked? i tryed that, and i tryed pulling the jack from the back (hardware supports intelligent jacks)
[10:06] <cast> g4lt-lappy: really, why would i use that? ;)
[10:06] <gh0st3r> bazhang thanks :)
[10:06] <gartral> Niphyr: then the only way is too install ubuntu...
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> gartral: well, take a sec yourself..are you using DAE?
[10:06] <g4lt-lappy> Niphyr, have you tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[10:06] <gartral> ActionParsnip: i dont know how to use it
[10:07] <Niphyr> g4lt-lappy: no, I haven't.
[10:07] <r00tlinu> change the jack setting in qjackctl?
[10:07] <g4lt-lappy> cast you'll only do it once
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> gartral: thats why i pasted the info...try loosing the attitude and read
[10:07] <g4lt-lappy> Niphyr, then don't kill gdm, use the f00kin initscript.  whoever told you to kill it was a fool
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> gartral: find out what iDAE is then find out if you are using it, if you are, thats why its not working
[10:07] <AdvoWork> hi there, anyone know how to ping a ip range on a local network, ie .2 - .200 for example?
[10:07] <gartral> !iDAE
[10:08] <Niphyr> g4lt-lappy: Do you understand what i am trying to do?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: could write a script
[10:08] <Niphyr> gartral: I was hoping to test video performance and WINE before installing ubuntu... was hoping I could at least check the drivers on the LiveCD
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: http://www.itserviceworks.com/ping-an-ip-address-range/
[10:09] <cast> AdvoWork: nmap is good enough at scanning ip ranges
[10:10] <gartral> Niphyr: hmm.... im not sure how to install the drivers from a live cd
[10:10] <Niphyr> Can I install ubuntu on the same partition as vista?
[10:10] <gartral> ActionParsnip: 4 pages into google searc retrieve a bunch of smeg about some financial firm...
[10:11] <dronix> Niphyr: no, need to set up a different partition
[10:11] <mcnicholls> hi. i want to have my sd card mount without the nodev options (so i can put my pbuilder cache on there), i have tried an fstab entry, but then my user doesn't have rights to mount as usual when the card is inserted. is there another way/option i can use?
[10:11] <Niphyr> dronix: ok, ty :(
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> gartral: search different or use a different search engine
[10:11] <ysis> !wubi | Niphyr
[10:11] <cast> Niphyr: sure, but it's liable to be painful
[10:11] <simplexio> mcnicholls: in fstab add option user
[10:12] <gh0st3r> bazhang, read that... i have no idea whats wrong :-S
[10:12] <gartral> ActionParsnip: you know how to figure out if im using it or not?
[10:12] <nutzer> hii
[10:12] <Niphyr> ysis: I wanted to run ubuntu by itself as an eventual replacement for vista, not along side it. Thankyou though
[10:12] <lakitu> hunh, jtaji ActionParsnip, it *was* the file set.  another set cat'd & un-archived fine
[10:12] <nutzer> germany??
[10:12] <mcnicholls> simplexio: oh yeah, i have used user before. think it was because of the hald automounting that i didn;t think about it. i presume it will still automount through hal with those options?
[10:13] <ysis> nutzer: #ubuntu-de
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> gartral: looks like some cd paranoia thing
[10:13] <simplexio> mcnicholls: noauto .. i think
[10:13] <ysis> Niphyr: Just make a partition for ubuntu then.
[10:14] <nutzer> i am from germany.
[10:14]  * XxGoldxX says hello room
[10:14] <gartral> a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas?
[10:14] <ysis> nutzer: Wenn du deutsch sprechen willst, dann geh in den Raum #ubuntu-de.
[10:15] <mcnicholls> simplexio: ok think i should be able to get it sorted from there. thanks for the help
[10:15] <Niphyr> ysis: Attempting it again now :) Last time I tried to shrink the vista partition I got no end of file errors
[10:15]  * XxGoldxX has a question for someone familiar with raid 5 in ubuntu server 8.04
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> !raid
[10:15] <ysis> Niphyr: Do you have a way to backup your partition?
[10:16] <simplexio> XxGoldxX: i have one
[10:16] <ysis> Niphyr: I never had success with resizing windows partitions...
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Niphyr: just plan the partitions and you dont have to resie, leave unpartitioned space and linux will offer to use it
[10:16] <XxGoldxX> simplexio: ok i have a raid 5 on my ubuntu server 8.04 with 3 drives can i add 2 more drives withour rebuilding
[10:17] <gartral> Niphyr: if you can get your hands on it, norton partition magic 8 works wonders on windows partitions
[10:17] <dan-ubuntu> jaunty jackalope alpha 6 isn't buggy-swear
[10:17] <simplexio> XxGoldxX: probably not. but google. i have only made "ready" raid systems
[10:17] <eanda-sbs> hey all.  pretty disappointed in Ubuntu 8.10.  all my nfs shares are not able to mount at boot time.  Does anyone know a work around for this?  It can't be a crude hack though because one of my nfs shares is where all my ldap user homes is located and this share has to be totally correct at boot
[10:17] <gh0st3r> bazhang, help?!?
[10:18] <XxGoldxX> Simplexio: i have googled but only get info on windows based arrays which doesnt help and ubuntu forumns only talk about installing raid software
[10:18] <gartral> XxGoldxX: not with raid 5, i forget why, i think its cause the striping sequence expect 3, and will see 5
[10:18] <r00tlinu> qtparted instead of part magic?
[10:18] <ysis> Niphyr: You can also try the gparted live cd
[10:18] <ysis> Worked very well for me
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: you may need a script to test if your network devices have come up to mount them, or have the command: sudo mount -a   run when you log in (assuming you added the mountings to /etc/fstab)
[10:19] <XxGoldxX> gartral: even if it is a software based array
[10:19] <kelli> now what can i use as a voice simulator for reading text?
[10:19] <lakitu> ActionParsnip, you help a lot =) i'm not in #here often, but you're always helping.  that's awesome =D
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> kelli: espeak is ok
[10:19] <gh0st3r> im getting flickering on 8.10, on a second monitor, i have a 9800gt and i installed the drivers by doing a "apt-get install nvidia-glx-180"
[10:19] <jtaji> XxGoldxX: http://scotgate.org/2006/07/03/growing-a-raid5-array-mdadm/
[10:19] <XxGoldxX> gartral: i thought one of the advantages with raid 5 was the ability to expand
[10:20] <gartral> XxGoldxX: it would require reloading everything and re striping it, unless you have a verryyy good software raid controller, i think its impossible
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> lakitu: i like to give to the community as the community gives to me
[10:20] <kelli> now what can i use as a voice simulator for reading text?
[10:20] <gartral> but i dont mess with raids oftem, i cant be sure
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> kelli: sudo apt-get install espeak
[10:21] <gartral> a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> kelli: the run: espeak <some text file>
[10:21] <kelli> ActionParsnip, is that for ubuntu
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> !info espeak
[10:21] <gartral> kelli: yes, espeak is multi platform
[10:21] <simplexio> XxGoldxX: try google madadm raid ... im sure that if you first build raid5 array like from 3 and define then that array uses 4 disk you can add one later. but not sure if you can add disk if you didnt build it that way
[10:21] <kelli> thanks
[10:21] <eanda-sbs> ActionParsnip:  Yes I know I can run mount -a as root and get all my shares mounted from /etc/fstab.  I have done that and it works successfully.  My problem is on every reboot that has to be done and I'm not always present.  and I'm not going to give away the su/root password so I can walk a user through that mounting process
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: you dont have a root pass (well, shouldnt unless you want a significantly less secure OS)
[10:23] <gartral> eanda-sbs: then add a sudoers entry for them?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: you could add the script to the last boot level so you know the network is up
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> !bum
[10:23] <XxGoldxX> simplexio: ok looks like it possible to a degree but it doesnt tell me whether or not it supports all array hardware
[10:23] <bibe> hi everybody. i've a problem with pure-ftpd-mysql. allthough i defined "MYSQLUser", it tries to connect as root to the mysql server. does anyone have an idea?
[10:23] <eanda-sbs> This is such a basic function of linux,  I fail to understand how Ubuntu could have possibly missed this during their release testing..
[10:23] <Chousuke> eanda-sbs: add the "auto" option into their fstab entries.
[10:23]  * XxGoldxX is very thankful for all help with his issue so far
[10:23] <Chousuke> eanda-sbs: that means they're mounted on boot.
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: they are network resources and fstab runs before the network comes up, so the mount fails
[10:24] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: hmm
[10:25] <eanda-sbs> Chousuke:  Ok .  maybe you hit on the right fix, because I don't have the auto variable on any network nfs share in etc/fstab
[10:25] <BABER> how can understand one package is installed or not?
[10:25] <Chousuke> eanda-sbs: well you could add a "username ALL=/sbin/mount -a" to sudoers
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: sudo apt-get install bum
[10:26] <AltoBurgo> hello all. Anyone knows a possible reason not to create /dev/fd0? Mine is not there...
[10:26] <Chousuke> eanda-sbs: that'd allow them to just run mount -a as root
[10:26] <eanda-sbs> ActionParsnip:  what is bum?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: you can add a script to run the mount -a command afer the network is up
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> !info bum
[10:26] <XxGoldxX> jtaji: thank you for the link
[10:27] <Chousuke> eanda-sbs: critical:, use "visudo" to edit the sudoers file.
[10:27] <eanda-sbs> ok thanks I'll take a look
[10:27] <AltoBurgo> I can only see /dev/fd/0 not /dev/fd0
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: its a bit hacky but fstab needs running first to mount partitions so the boot can complete and network drivers can load, but it will fail as the network is down so NFS partitions fails
[10:27] <Guest47984> 0
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: the mount -a should be added to the last run level as you say, i'd log a bug for deffo
[10:28] <AltoBurgo> I can only see /dev/fd/0 not /dev/fd0. on my fstab I'ts referencing /dev/fd0... but's not there... Anyone can help? what should I look on dmesg? floppy is functional under windows...
[10:29] <gartral> a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas?
[10:30] <eanda-sbs> ActionParsnip:  So what I should do then is list my nfs shares in fastab as noaouto then create a script in /etc/rc.d to mount the nfs shares later in the boot process.
[10:30] <PWilder> Need help with Ipod Video Management
[10:30] <AltoBurgo> sudo modprobe floppy
[10:30] <AltoBurgo> damn
[10:30] <AltoBurgo> that solved
[10:30] <AltoBurgo> thanks for nothing
[10:30] <FloodBot3> AltoBurgo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: i'd add them as auto, then create a small script to run sudo mount -a
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> eanda-sbs: then add it to the bootup
[10:32] <kelli> gartral, how do i start espeak?
[10:33] <Ulysse_> Hi everyone ;-)
[10:33] <eanda-sbs> ActionParsnip:  Ok I can do that.  question though.  If I complete that what will be the mount status of the nfs shares at the GDM login screen on a reboot?  My concern is that my one nfs share has to be mounted because it is the ldaphome directory for all users.  If it isn't available then the user cannot log in
[10:33] <Ulysse_> Needs small feedback
[10:33] <Ulysse_> does anyone onws an msi wind u100 netbook?
[10:33] <intangir> hello
[10:33] <gartral> kelli: from a terminal: espeak /path/to/file.ext
[10:34] <intangir> im trying to install adobe flash 10 on ubuntu 8.04
[10:34] <intangir> and i just cant get the damn thing to install
[10:34] <intangir> i have no idea why
[10:34] <PWilder> Ipod Video management
[10:34] <PWilder> help!
[10:34] <intangir> it runs the package installers, it says it worked
[10:34] <Ulysse_> help!
[10:34] <intangir> but it wont show up on the list, and i cant open flash
[10:34] <ch0de> does anubody encounter a white screen of death on hibernation?
[10:34] <Ulysse_> doh!
[10:35] <gartral> ch0de: i encounter a gfx card failure on hibernation, but i dont turn my comp off very often
[10:35] <BABER> what commadn can open screen shot ?
[10:35] <eanda-sbs> ActionParsnip:  Did you catch that last question
[10:35] <ch0de> how can I debug what's happening when I obtain a white screen of death on hibernation?
[10:36] <gartral> BABER: try your print screen key....
[10:36] <gartral> a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas?
[10:37] <ysis> gartral: I fixed my problem from before. I deactivated the visual effects in System > Preferences > Appearance. Thanks for your help again
[10:37] <manuel_> hi
[10:38] <ysis> !hi | manuel_
[10:38] <michazoet> hi to all
[10:39] <manuel_> how can i stop the rescure X fix from work? i mean if i install a new kernel and have the nvidia driver loaded the next rebbot this "fix" stops me from installing my driver again because xerver is running
[10:39] <manuel_> thanks for help
[10:40] <Chousuke> manuel_: I think just running sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should kill X completely.
[10:41] <error404notfound> I changed my vlc skin. Today I downloaded another skin and tried to use that but vlc denies to change skin even to default, I removed vlc by apt-get remove vlc, and then install it but it still have that old theme which over time has started to feel stupid.
[10:41] <manuel_> no that doesnt work because gdm starts not realy ther is only a fram with text like:You running X in a low resolution
[10:42] <kfox> hia
[10:43] <kelli> any one know a text reader that can read web pages
[10:43] <zash> kelli: text-reader?
[10:43] <kelli> yes
[10:43] <austin_> Where do i go to view my hardware on my machine?
[10:43] <kfox> kelli, nano, vi etc..
[10:43] <ysis> kelli: lynx
[10:43] <beli> reader
[10:44] <beli> not viewer
[10:44] <zash> links2 -dump | less
[10:44] <beli> he wants the text to be spoken
[10:44] <kelli> how do i get them to worl
[10:44] <kelli> work
[10:44] <gartral> ysis: im glad i was able to help :) yea, the special effects really gnaw older cards like ours to death
[10:44] <kelli> i'm new to ubuntu
[10:44] <zash> kelli: like orca?
[10:44] <shyam_k`> where to set the key for wpa encryption for wifi router?
[10:45] <zash> kelli: http://live.gnome.org/Orca
[10:45] <kelli> zash, how do i get that?
[10:45] <ysis> austin_: 'sudo lshw'
[10:45] <gartral> austin_: lsusb shows usb hardwre thats recognised, lshw shows all hardware, and cat /proc/cpuinfo shows special info on your cpu
[10:46] <zash> kelli: i think it is installed by default, otherwise search for orca in add/remove or the package manager
[10:46] <ysis> austin_: Also try System > Administration > Hardware Testing from the panel.
[10:46] <austin_> kk
[10:46] <austin_> thank you
[10:47] <bazhang> !info gnome-orca
[10:47] <gartral> austin_: its what were here for :)
[10:47] <gartral> dang
[10:48] <jan__> j #110
[10:48] <ocol> Hey everybody. Can ubuntu cause your computer to shutdown strangely?
[10:48] <ocol> I tried to install ubuntu, but when it got to the installing logo, it shut down.
[10:48] <cast> ocol: yes.
[10:48] <ocol> And i restarted the computer like five times, and it always shut down.
[10:49] <ocol> I waited like 10 minutes and my computer worked alright with vista.
[10:49] <ocol> What's going on? o.O
[10:49] <gartral>  i want to set my default terminal window size to 128x30 to conform to the bg image i set, how do i do this?
[10:50] <gartral> ocol: are you on amd athlon hardware?
[10:50] <ocol> Yup
[10:50] <ocol> Athlon 64
[10:50] <ocol> turion sorry
[10:50] <Gothfunc> hi.  i have an ATI sapphire hd3850 graphics card, and i'm trying to get HDMI audio working so i can pump the sound through my lcd tv.  the HDMI device shows up in aplay -l and i have used asoundconf-gtk to set it as the default device.  it works for some applications, but not for others.  any ideas why this might be?
[10:50] <ocol> but i downloaded the AMD 64 version
[10:50] <ocol> It should work
[10:50] <Gothfunc> i've tried both hardy and jaunty, both have the same results.  i can play a music file in totem but the same music file won't work in vlc.
[10:51] <gartral> ocol your hitting a thermal barrier, its a hardware issue, my laptops shutdown "randomly" when there too hot, i see it all the time
[10:51] <ocol> Oh
[10:51] <ocol> I get it
[10:51] <ocol> This is a laptop too
[10:51] <ocol> When it cools down, it works fine
[10:51] <ocol> That's why it shut downs in series.
[10:51] <ocol> But hey
[10:51] <gartral> ocol: the only way to "fix" it is to swap the offending procs out with new ones
[10:51] <ocol> Oh my god
[10:51] <ocol> O.o
[10:51] <ocol> Now i get it
[10:52] <bazhang> !enter | ocol
[10:52] <gartral> expensive, but it avoids data corruption
[10:52] <ocol> I was switching for ubuntu because I've noted that my computer is very slow
[10:52] <ocol> And it should work smoothly with vista as I have 2,0 ghz processor and 3 gb of RAM memory, but I think my processor is jammed.
[10:52] <ocol> So basicly I can't install ubuntu?
[10:53] <ikonia> ocol: I think you're mistaken
[10:53] <gartral> ocol: again, you have a semi-defective proc, if its new, contact amd or your OEM and explain the situation, they might send you a new proc, they did once for me after said issue destroyed a hardrive
[10:53] <ikonia> ocol: that processor is more than capable
[10:53] <ocol> This is a laptop.
[10:54] <ikonia> ocol: that dosn't change what I said
[10:54] <gartral> ocol: but as far as running ubuntu, it will word just fine
[10:54] <gartral> work*
[10:54] <ocol> Ikonia: Please read the issue I noted previously :)
[10:54] <ocol> Gartral: I'm running vista
[10:54] <RanyAlbeg> Hi all , i installed limewire via deb file and now im unable to uninstall it . can some help?
[10:54] <mchelen> i did something, and now my numeric keypad is moving the mouse instead of typing numbers?
[10:54] <ocol> And the problem is that I can't install ubuntu at all.
[10:55] <ocol> When installing it, the computer starts to shut down immedietely. It never does it in any other case.
[10:55] <gartral> ocol: like i said, the proc issue wont hurt ubuntu, but i recomend you stay far away from compize until you get a good proc, compize eats mine alive
[10:55] <ikonia> ocol: does it power off ?
[10:55] <ocol> Yup
[10:55] <ysis> RanyAlbeg: You should be able to find and remove it with Synaptic.
[10:55] <ikonia> ocol: then it sounds like a heat alarm is shutting it down
[10:56] <mchelen> ocol, have you tried the alternate install cd?
[10:56] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: No , i cant
[10:56] <s3r3n1t7> ocol, power off as in hard shutdown? or power off as in just shut down normally.
[10:56] <paul_fox> hia
[10:56] <ocol> Power of as in hard shutdown
[10:56] <RanyAlbeg> ysis:Searching in synaptic gave no results
[10:56] <ocol> It closes immedietely
[10:56] <gartral> ikonia: hes having issues with a proc thats heat sensor is bad, he needs to replace it before he can run truly stable
[10:56] <ocol> Like when the processor gets over heated
[10:56] <ikonia> gartral: I missed that - thanks
[10:56] <ikonia> ocol: ok - so you need to talk to your hardware provider to get that hardware fixed
[10:57] <s3r3n1t7> ocol, ikonia, gartral, shut down the cool'n quiet in the bios and let the fan run at full speed to test?
[10:57] <ysis> RanyAlbeg do you still have the .deb file?
[10:57] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: : no :\
[10:57] <ikonia> s3r3n1t7: and let it do potential damage ? no
[10:57] <ocol> I don't get it why it doesn't shut down never with Vista?
[10:57] <ocol> I've been working with Vista for years. It's a bit slow some times, but it doesn't shut down
[10:57] <ikonia> ocol: it may not get stretched that hot
[10:57] <nmaddy> Hi, how can I grep a file to show text only after 50 characters
[10:57] <ocol> Even when playing games etc.
[10:58] <gartral> iknoia i have the same issue, ocol, try hitting F6 twice before you install, and selecting APIC=off and try thun, but i warn you, feel your system once in a while too make sure you not running hot, or you WILL destroy your system
[10:58] <ikonia> ocol: it may be a bug with the ubuntu power managment schema
[10:58] <ikonia> gartral: that is why I'm not suggesting he do it
[10:58] <paul_fox> nmaddy, characan I grep a file to show text only after 50 characters
[10:58] <ocol> no thanks
[10:58] <ocol> I
[10:58] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, a fan running at full speed will not cause damage. Cool 'n quiet only disables the powering down of the fan speed.
[10:58] <ysis> RanyAlbeg: Can you download it again? Then just double-click on it. This should give you a popup where you can hit a deinstallation button.
[10:58] <paul_fox> nmaddy, characters or lines?
[10:58] <gartral> ikonia: yea, i made that mistake once...
[10:58] <ikonia> s3r3n1t7: then it shouldn't be hitting a themal alarm and powering off
[10:59] <nmaddy> characters
[10:59] <nmaddy> form every line
[10:59] <ocol> Theres no alarm
[10:59] <nmaddy> from*
[10:59] <ocol> It just shut down
[10:59] <RanyAlbeg> ysis:i'll search for it again
[10:59] <RanyAlbeg> ysis:also tried to dkpg -r limewire
[10:59] <ocol> I don't think they would change my hardwire at Acer Support as it's not basicly broken.
[10:59] <ocol> hardware*
[10:59] <gartral> ocol: yea, dont let the proc aproach 90 degrees celcius, thats the magic number of doom
[10:59] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: i'llgo find it.
[10:59] <ysis> RanyAlbeg: I could always deinstall via Synaptic when I installed with this debi package manager thingy.
[11:00] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, aye, but i've noticed on my laptop that the thermal scheme is loaded very late and it can trigger the thermal alarm before being properly initialized by the kernel. I need to disable it or my laptop will just shut down after powering up.
[11:00] <gartral> ocol: technically it is defective though, they might replace it
[11:00] <ocol> Yeh.. that would take ages, ever tried Acers guarantee? :D
[11:00] <ikonia> s3r3n1t7: I won't be advising him to do that - so it's your call
[11:00] <error404notfound> I can't change my vlc skin :(
[11:00] <ocol> Took me 3 monthes once
[11:01] <ocol> umm..
[11:01] <ocol> should have gone with macbook, atleast they deal their support fastly
[11:01] <nmaddy> paul_fox: can that be done with grep anyway?
[11:01] <gartral> yea, most corps REM programs are tidiously long
[11:01] <s3r3n1t7> ocol, i know, i got an acer myself. They always run very hot, has been that way on every acer i've had my hands on.
[11:02] <ocol> Yep
[11:02] <ocol> Sometimes it hurts when writing
[11:02] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, acers always run extremely hot compared to other laptops and other OS's on the same laptop.
[11:02] <ikonia> s3r3n1t7: that doesn't change my stance
[11:02] <s3r3n1t7> ocol, clock down your cpu. Works magic for me.
[11:02] <gartral> ocol: oh boy, double wami...
[11:02] <ocol> I thought changing the OS could help with the processor
[11:02] <ocol> As ubuntu isn't so hard to run as vista
[11:03] <ocol> but obviously I can't install it
[11:03] <gartral> ocol: i hate saying this, but windows 7 solved many thermal issues with the beta...
[11:03] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: Ok found it , 80%....
[11:03] <ocol> Never tried windows 7
[11:03] <bazhang> !ot
[11:03] <ocol> But I'm bit tired with laptops
[11:04] <bazhang> please take windows chat elsewhere
[11:04] <ocol> Buy one, 3 monthes and it's old
[11:04] <ysis> RanyAlbeg: Is it working?
[11:04] <gartral> ocol: i found it... pleasent, actually, other than it wouldnt run anything unless you gave it admin privledges...
[11:04] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, i understand. Don't expect you to change either. There is however a huge temperature between windows and ubuntu. Also, my thoughts can't be done, acer doesn't have these options in the BIOS.
[11:05] <WebGuest> hi. i'm having a lot of difficulty getting a belkin wirewless g+ mimo usb adapter (f5d9050) to work with ubuntu (hardy). i have followed the instructions given here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236, but after step 13, ifconfig -a, wlan0 doesn't show up, only lo and eth0. can anyone help?
[11:05] <ocol> I could check how's my thermo actually in normal run
[11:05] <ocol> Maybe I could cool it down to install ubuntu?
[11:05] <s3r3n1t7> ocol, how long does it take for yours to shut down?
[11:05] <ocol> A second
[11:05] <ocol> Oh
[11:05] <ocol> It goes to the installation part
[11:05] <ocol> and says Installing
[11:06] <ocol> and like 30 seconds to a minute and it closes
[11:06] <gartral> ocol, a nice cooling tray works, go by your local InkStop and ask them the their three fan tray, they'll set you up
[11:06] <s3r3n1t7> ikonia, your opinion please, would it be possible to set the CPU speed slower to lower the heat?
[11:06] <ocol> yeh.. for laptop, sure..
[11:06] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: when i open the deb i can only see Reinstall Package
[11:07] <gartral> s3r3n1t7: if your BIOS supports it, its a great idea, if not, your risking a total system loss, i did it to my gaming machine and i couldn't boot it again, i have to pull the proc and let it bleed-reset before it would work again
[11:08] <ocol> it's really a bit funny that I can't watch even a full screen divx with out the processor bugging around
[11:08] <ocol> Oh my
[11:08] <Gothfunc> is there an app/game that really shows off good graphics cards?
[11:08] <gartral> ocol: yea intel hardware is alot more stable
[11:08] <ocol> My processor is '91 in normal use.
[11:09] <ocol> oops..
[11:09] <s3r3n1t7> gartral, i'm talking about software wise. sudo cpufreq-selector should be able to do it.
[11:09] <ysis> RanyAlbeg: Sorry, I was mistaken. Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474610
[11:09] <ocol> Shouldn't it burn as it's 91?
[11:09] <gartral> s3r3n1t7: ahh, software side, yea
[11:09] <ysis> But you need to know the package name.
[11:09] <juniecho> Hi, I've copied a VMware virtual machine from Windows, and loaded VM in VMware Player. When I try to start the VM, it says VMDK file is not found. But the VMDK file is THERE. What should I do... somebody help.
[11:09] <Myrtti> ocol: no. It seems that your problem is now hardware related and isn't actually Ubuntu support issue anymore
[11:10] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: the name of the package is limewire-basic , so i can apt-get remove it no?
[11:10] <s3r3n1t7> ocol, uhm yeah, your sensor is prolly broken and thus that reading isn't safe to assume to be correct.
[11:10] <Myrtti> ocol: if you want to discuss the matter, please do so at ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:10] <ysis> RanyAlbec: Just try 'sudo apt-get remove limewire-basic' then.
[11:10] <ocol> Take it ieasy
[11:11] <ysis> Or look for it in the synaptic package manager.
[11:11] <gartral> ocol: your best bet, is to try an older ubuntu 8.04 (skip 7.10)....
[11:11] <bond__> hi everyone
[11:11] <ysis> Not the Add/Remove.. thingy
[11:11] <ysis> !hi | bond__
[11:11] <bond__> thanks, ysis
[11:12] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: thanks. that is done . but i still see the .limewire dir on my home folder
[11:12] <juniecho> Can someone help me with this VMware Player not being able to locate my virtual disk file, when the file is in the same directory with VM itself?
[11:12] <RanyAlbeg> ysis: should i just remove it?
[11:12] <ysis> RanyAlbeg: That's where your configuration files are. If you plan on reinstalling later leave it.
[11:12] <juniecho> RanyAlbeg: No, you don't have to, but you can if you wish
[11:12] <ysis> Otherwise remove it or use the 'purge' option in synaptic.
[11:12] <ziroday`> juniecho: #vmware might be better suited

[11:19] <WeazelON> thanks
[11:19] <bond__> thanks, ysis
[11:19] <mchelen> WeazelON, basically you want to use the apps > add/remove to install flash, if you tried another method something might get messed up
[11:20] <bond__> lspci|grep lo
[11:20] <ysis> bond__: You're welcome.
[11:20] <bredoto> hia
[11:21] <RanyAlbeg> thank you guys
[11:21] <WeazelON> i did use add/remove, and flash is working, the problem is that, if i have multiple windows of flashed adds and such firefox will go slow and eventually die, and fullscreen shows bad resolution of the flash
[11:21] <WeazelON> as if it was zoomed at the current resolution

[11:34] <Raj``> hi, the hibernate option doesnt work for me

[11:35] <WeazelON> is there any better way to display the time and date from the Panel ? like giving it maybe special font like the digital view in KDE ?  (using Gnome)
[11:35] <dagomar> Q: i have a home-ubuntu webdevelopment server. I work on a xp pc. Now i would like to set it up so i can use subdomains on the webserver... (i have edit my hosts file in xp to make 'testserver' point to the servers ip) > so for instance "test.testserver' should point to a different folder on my webserver. how can i do this?!?!
[11:36] <dagomar> should i set up an symlink in the root folder named 'test' and would that magically make 'test.testserver' point to the right folder?
[11:37] <segfault-> hey stolers how does it go ?
[11:38] <oCean_> dagomar: So it's apache on the webserver right.
[11:38] <dagomar> exactly
[11:39] <oCean_> dagomar: then you can configure your subdomains trough vhost config. In /etc/apache2/
[11:39] <Raj``> any solution for the hibernation trouble?
[11:39] <dagomar> ok i'll look that up!
[11:39] <oCean_> dagomar: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/examples.html
[11:39] <dagomar> great :D
[11:43] <DeLiK> good morning

[11:45] <juniecho> hey guys, can anyone tell me where i can have a vmware vmdk image? other than easyvmx, it creates too many files because it split the image into 2 gb files... i want just one big vmdk file :) please someone help.
[11:46] <suporte> olá pessoal
[11:46] <oCean_> !pt | suporte
[11:46] <suporte> tem alguem que ja utilizou o NAGIOS
[11:47] <oCean_> juniecho: It's an option when creating the vm iirc
[11:48] <Raj``> anyone free to answer my question
[11:49] <bazhang> !info hibernate
[11:50] <dr_willis> !ask
[11:50] <Raj``> i did

[11:51] <Q-q> hi, can any1 tell me how to install identd on ubuntU?
[11:51] <vetall> if i watch a flash movie on line in firefox, where the file is stored on the HD (temp|cache)?
[11:51] <dr_willis> !find identd
[11:51] <Raj``> bazhang, what should i do with that
[11:51] <dr_willis> Pick an idented server.. install it.. confiuire it.. run it
[11:51] <oCean_> juniecho: When creating a new VM, you get to Hard Disk, Next screen is Properties. Choose File options. There is the option to choose to split in 2GB files or not
[11:51] <Raj``> i already have the hibernate option, it just doesnt work
[11:52] <bazhang> Raj``, how much ram
[11:52] <Raj``> 1 gb
[11:52] <bazhang> Raj``, you install that package
[11:52] <Sweet_lime> how to see more than 3.2 G ram on ubuntu 32 bit?
[11:52] <bazhang> Raj``, and processes are consuming how much of that
[11:53] <Raj``> no idea
[11:53] <Raj``> not much, i believe
[11:53] <bazhang> check top in terminal
[11:54] <disappearedng> hey how do I find within a directory and its sub directory for all the file that has chinese encoding in its name?
[11:54] <bazhang> open a terminal and type: top Raj``
[11:54] <juniecho> oCean_: sorry i use vmware player on linux, unable to create a new vm
[11:54] <Raj``> 892 bieng used, bazhang
[11:54] <Raj``> being*
[11:54] <bazhang> Raj``, then there is your answer; not enough remains to hibernate with
[11:55] <Raj``> alright
[11:55] <Raj``> thanks
[11:55] <oCean_> juniecho: ok. I assumed vmware server.
[11:55] <Sweet_lime> how to see more than 3.2 G ram on ubuntu 32 bit?
[11:55] <danbhfive> Sweet_lime: you don't really
[11:55] <mafsi> Sweet_lime: install ubuntu server kernel
[11:55] <dr_willis> Sweet_lime:  how much ram you got insdtalled? 4gb exactyly?
[11:56] <oCean_> juniecho: Then whoever created your image, created it with option to split in several files
[11:56] <Rishab> hey all
[11:56] <Sweet_lime> dr_willis: 4G
[11:56] <juniecho> oCean_ is there 'somewhere' (like easyvmx) that does it for me :) ?
[11:57] <juniecho> easyvmx makes too many files... is there some site that create a vmdk image in a big single file?
[11:57] <Rishab> I got a problem in my ubuntu that the xserver fails to load can some one help me ??
[11:58] <oCean_> juniecho: I don't know about easyvmx.
[11:58] <dr_willis> Sweet_lime:  you might want to try the server kernel.. but with exactly 4gb. part of it is reserved for various hardware driver/bits
[11:58] <dagomar> oCean_ thanks for the help, that works like a charm!
[11:58] <oCean_> dagomar: nice!
[11:58] <fliegenderfrosch> Does anyone know if there’s a simple way to use Ubuntu as the base for a custom live-cd, where only selected packages are installed (without gui) and which wouldn’t do anything else than starting a script?
[11:59] <Rishab> I tried to configure tthe xserver-xorg but nothin helped me >>
[11:59] <elhobab> hi please could you help i've problem with my wirless card i can't turn it on, it's an  Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[11:59] <pepperjack> Rishab: whats the problem?
[11:59] <elhobab> last time i reboot and it's okay but now it's impossible
[12:00] <elhobab> last time i rebooted and it's okay but now it's impossible
[12:00] <pepperjack> Rishab: nm just read above.  what video card?
[12:00] <juniecho> uh, thanks anyway, then is there a software i can use for free with an ability to create a vm? in linux.
[12:00] <simplexio> fliegenderfrosch: yes. justmake yuor own livdcd
[12:00] <Sweet_lime> dr_willis: I installed it but the same thing , in the Bioss it show 4G but server kernel show 3.2 ? may be some thing to do with high_mem option?
[12:00] <simplexio> fliegenderfrosch: there is many howtos for custom livecd
[12:00] <pepperjack> juniecho: pretty much any of em windows has excepts virtualpc
[12:01] <simplexio> fliegenderfrosch: actually if you only want run some script you should take some of smaller livecd distoros and use them. alot faster
[12:01] <pepperjack> juniecho: and a few others.  i still like vmware-server but there are alot of good ones in linux
[12:01] <elginix> elhobab: have mad similar problems with that card myself - the drivers dont seem very stable sadly - ive had to turn the wireless off :(
[12:01] <elhobab> hi please could you help i've problem with my wirless card i can't turn it on, it's an  Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG, last time i rebooted and it's okay but now it's impossible, i'm under ubuntu 8.10 and i have hp 530 notebook
[12:01] <juniecho> is vmware-server free?
[12:02] <bazhang> juniecho, virtualbox-ose from the repos
[12:02] <elhobab> elginix, oups :s there is any solution or tuto :s
[12:02] <juniecho> bazhang, sorry i need to build a 'vmdk' image
[12:02] <bazhang> juniecho, vmware-server is free yes
[12:02] <pepperjack> juniecho: they dont charge any money for it. has a cumbersome eula and you have to register for free to get a serial number
[12:03] <juniecho> bazhang thanks :) guess i'll try it
[12:03] <elginix> elhobab: not that i've found... treid a number of methods with native driver and ndiswrapper and got it working for a time in 8.10 but still froze up the machine periodically
[12:03] <fliegenderfrosch> simplexio: ok, I just thought I could use ubuntu as I use it personally and am familliar with the available packages. Do you have any suggestions for a distro to use? I just need to run a backup script, so I’ll need rsync, mount and perhaps partimage.
[12:04] <elhobab> elginix, you have hp 530 or another laptop??
[12:04] <bazhang> !remaster | fliegenderfrosch
[12:04] <elginix> elhobab: dell inspiron 1720 - i dont think its exactly the same model of card but same series
[12:04] <elhobab> elginix, ah ok
[12:05] <issa_> Hi, how can I with a command line view the first 10 lines of a certain (huge) sql file ?
[12:05] <elginix> issa_: used head command
[12:05] <dr_willis> issa_:  if its a text file, see the head command
[12:05] <elhobab> elginix, thanks i'll try to find out :)
[12:06] <SmileDay> price-free give the eggshell tea to you.
[12:06] <issa_> thanks :)
[12:06] <elginix> elhobab: try ndiswrapper - u may have more joy with it than i did :-)
[12:06] <simplexio> fliegenderfrosch: ther is ubuntu livecd builders, you just need remove a lot of stuff there. i was thinking that you should take some of those small distros like damn small linux or puppy and use them as base
[12:06] <SmileDay> eggshell tea event is end. thanks
[12:06] <elhobab> elginix, ok:)
[12:06] <bazhang> !ot | SmileDay
[12:08] <Sweet_lime> how do I define SIM Card Slot on my laptop?
[12:08] <ironfroggy_> can anyone tell me why when i do `ssh somehost.com somecommand` which is long running, if i ctrl+c ssh exits but leaves the process running remotely?
[12:09] <fliegenderfrosch> simplexio: ok, I’ll have a look. thx
[12:09] <wigren> @ironfroggy No. When you ctrl-c it closes the connection at the other end
[12:09] <ironfroggy_> wigren: "no" what? are you saying im wrong and this doesn't happen?
[12:10] <carpii> ironfroggy, look into 'screen' which lets you detach a process from ssh and reconnect to it later
[12:10] <wigren> @ironfroggy I'm sorry, I misread.
[12:10] <ironfroggy_> because i an assure you its what i see. I can repeat it over and over and see the process still running.
[12:10] <ironfroggy_> i dont _want_ it to do this, its doing this and i want it to stop.
[12:10] <elginix> ironfroggy: does your remote process use nohup?
[12:10] <ironfroggy_> and yes im aware of screen, i couldn't get through the day without it
[12:10] <UbuntuUser> u-usr
[12:10] <UbuntuUser> hi
[12:10] <ironfroggy_> eighty4: no, its not daemonizing in any way either.
[12:11] <elginix> ironfroggy: what does the process do?
[12:12] <UbuntuUser> i`ve installed compiz fusion. when i open new window it opens but minimalized. how to open it maximalized?
[12:12] <scientes> where do i set ubuntu back to UTC = RTC
[12:12] <scientes> it fucked it up
[12:12] <Rishab> http://mibbit.com/pb/XBIGKq  well this the error console while trying to start my ubuntu machine... Can any one find the problem ??
[12:12] <Sweet_lime> how do I define SIM Card Slot on my laptop?
[12:12] <ironfroggy_> elginix: its running a dev webserver for testing. its just a python script.
[12:13] <dr_willis> Sim card? I thouight SIM cards where what  You used in cell phones...
[12:13] <ironfroggy_> i imagine there must be sim card readers like there are for any other storage type
[12:13] <drive> hai
[12:14] <elginix> ironfroggy: if you look at the remote process list, does it say which is the parent process?
[12:14] <dr_willis> do you mean memory cards like sd/mmc/and so forth?
[12:14] <ironfroggy_> elginix: bash
[12:15] <Sweet_lime> dr_willis: It is a built-in mobile broadband
[12:16] <issa_> guys, how do I include (using command line ) a certain text into the top of a huge file without having to open it?
[12:16] <gartral> dr_willis: sim cards are universal, they act as a key storage device for authing to a wide area network, be it voice or data
[12:17] <dr_willis> cat littlefile biggerfile > bothfiles
[12:17] <dr_willis> issa_:  thats one way to do it.. :)
[12:18] <elginix> ironfroggy_: in python is it using an exec?? call - if so which one?
[12:18] <dr_willis> gartral:  yes.  that what i was thinking.. id never heard of a pc with a sim card slot befor.
[12:18] <issa_> dr_willis, I just want a simple text, one sql query line (SET NAMES) .. and that's it
[12:19] <ironfroggy_> elginix: no i dont believe it is.
[12:19] <satya> Hi Everyone
[12:19] <dr_willis> issa_:  you can use echo and the bash > and >> opperators to copy them to a file.
[12:19] <elginix> ironfroggy_: hmmmm i'll ponder on that for a bit.... lunchtime now :-)
[12:19] <gartral> dr_willis: there becoming quite popular, i dont have one, but my mobo has a port for the adapter card
[12:20] <dr_willis> gartral:  i cant afford the service. :)
[12:20] <issa_> dr_willis, example?
[12:20] <ironfroggy_> when i ssh, i invoke a bash script, which sets up some sources something for environment, and invokes another script that knows how to call the dev server command wit hthe right setting. it looks like i end up running 4 bash processes nested before calling python.
[12:20] <ironfroggy_> all of the bash processes die, but not python
[12:20] <dr_willis> !abs | issa_
[12:20] <UbuntuUser> my problem is so simple and nobody anserws

[12:20] <dr_willis> !compiz
[12:20] <issa_> dr_willis, dude, I just want a single command, why read the whole bash thing?
[12:21] <dr_willis> issa_:  becaise if i tell you wrong.. you could delete the file.
[12:21] <elky> UbuntuUser, if it was so simple, then you'd already know it.
[12:21] <dr_willis> issa_:  put that one line in a file and use cat.. is one way to do it
[12:21] <issa_> dr_willis, ok :)
[12:21] <UbuntuUser> elky: not really. i`m newbie
[12:21] <gartral> issa_: feed a man a fish, hes happy for a day, teach a man too fish, he's happy the rest of his life ;)
[12:21] <ysis> How can I check which DNS server I currently use? I changed it in the NetworkManager applet, but it doesn't work...
[12:22] <satya> Today i have installed ubuntu 6.06 LTS but i am having problem using firefox browser unable update and unable any videos in youtube  can i get any help on this ..can anyone guide me in installing firefox latest version
[12:22] <pepperjack> ysis: cat /etc/resolv.conf  or nslookup google.com or dig google.com
[12:23] <issa_> gartral, I agree. I learned bash before, I totally forgot about it, but I am in need to do something fast now! I don't live by a lake, I just passed by it ;)
[12:23] <elky> UbuntuUser, i'm an oldbie, and i dont know the answer.
[12:23] <pepperjack> !flash | satya
[12:23] <satya> ubottu : i downloaded flash but unable to install it
[12:24] <satya> how can i upgrade the existing firefox version
[12:24] <jrib> satya: why not use flashplugin-nonfree from the repositories?
[12:24] <pepperjack> satya: it is in the repositories no need to install it yourself.
[12:24] <ysis> pepperjack: Thanks. I figured out that the problem lied elsewhere, but did find it. ^^
[12:24] <gartral> someone shoud add "Ubottu is a bot" too the MOTD
[12:24] <satya> is it sudo apt-get update firefox ?
[12:24] <cyberix> How do I find out the default theme for Jaunty?
[12:25] <cyberix> Or what is it going to be
[12:25] <gartral> cyberix: ask that in #ubuntu+1
[12:25] <jrib> satya: no, it's not.  You should upgrade to Hardy at least since dapper support on the desktop will run out in a couple of months
[12:26] <satya> jrib : so i cannot play videos in this OS right ?
[12:26] <satya> one more thing even i am unable to install latest verion 8.10 ubunutu
[12:26] <jrib> satya: you can.  Did you read what I said?
[12:26] <satya> no let me check
[12:26] <jrib> satya: why are you unable to install 8.10?
[12:27] <pepperjack> satya: if you decide to stay in your current version and want a hand with the manual flash install let me know.
[12:27] <Mohammad[B]> Hi All
[12:28] <Babykillar> hello gents.. got a q for ubuntu 8.10 on a One A570 netbook.. when using a Wifi connection without DHCP support I cannot confiure the default gateway IP address (using IPv4)..
[12:29] <vollmer> is there a tmpfs module for 2.6.24-23-server evidently it's not supported by defualt and it's not in the listed modules
[12:29] <error404notfound> my free diskspace is reported incorrectly, why so: http://pastebin.com/m4b1d2730
[12:30] <Mohammad[B]> i have a 500GB hard disk and need to create 3 partitions once EXT3 and others NTFS, which style is good for me ? primary or extended ?!? please help me :-s and i dont want to install OS on this hard only for storage !!! Home Partition !
[12:30] <jrib> error404notfound: why do you think it is incorrect?
[12:30] <dr_willis> Mohammad[B]:  i always use primaries if possible
[12:30] <Lint01> where can I find Gnome 2.26 as DEB?
[12:30] <pepperjack> Mohammad[B]: for 3 partitions only primarys are fine
[12:30] <drostie> Mohammad[B]: you can only have four primary partitions maximum. If you're not going over that limit, they can all be primary partitions.
[12:31] <error404notfound> jrib: have a look, 11G is total of / and 9.4 is used. By simple maths almost 1.6G should be free, while I have 0.6G, where is the missing 1G?
[12:31] <dreiermann> ubuntu wiki down?
[12:31] <jrib> error404notfound: are you aware that a percentage of space is reserved for root?  Try with sudo
[12:31] <dr_willis> error404notfound:  5% is reserved.. if thats what  is missing.
[12:31] <omsoleh> alow all brothers (user ubuntu)
[12:32] <dr_willis> the reserved space is tweakable with the tune2fs command.
[12:32] <danbhfive> Lint01: wait for jaunty, AFAIK
[12:32] <Mohammad[B]> dr_willis, pepperjack, drostie, Thanks, and if i use of extended partition that is dont't problem ?!
[12:32] <Kartagis> does vi do indentation only according to file extension?
[12:32] <drostie> error404notfound:  ~5% of the partition is always reserved for the root user.
[12:33] <dr_willis> Mohammad[B]:  not really. I just always use primaries if possible.
[12:33] <jrib> Kartagis: #vim
[12:33] <error404notfound> jrib: dr_willis: drostie: http://pastebin.com/m2bcd4bbb
[12:33] <Mohammad[B]> dr_willis, uhhuh, thanks :-)
[12:33] <jrib> error404notfound: I could be wrong about df caring whether or not you are root
[12:34] <error404notfound> jrib: but system is getting hell slow..
[12:34] <jrib> error404notfound: change the amount reserved if you need the space?
[12:35] <error404notfound> jrib: how?
[12:35] <jrib> error404notfound: with tune2fs as dr_willis said
[12:35] <error404notfound> hmmm, lemme try
[12:35] <jrib> "try" and "tune2fs" -- always interesting
[12:37] <mashman> is there away that i could minimize the files of ubuntu instead using all the programs ?
[12:38] <jrib> mashman: what does that mean...?
[12:39] <bazhang> !minimal | mashman
[12:40] <mashman> i mean is when im trying to install ubuntu inside into my existing windows he had need 5000mb of free space of harddisc but i have only 2.9gb free on my old laptop is there a way to minimize it ?

[12:47] <g4lt-lappy> bazhang, rather amusingly, dpkg will handle it if there's a version mismatch
[12:48] <mashman> pepperjack i got ubuntu 8.10 and this is my first time to use it
[12:48] <drostie> Hm. So, random question: if I want to grab a binary hash digest from within the initramfs environ, is there a way to call the kernel modules from a shell script? Or am I just stuck trying to put the openssl binary in the initramfs somehow?
[12:48] <pepperjack> mashman: ok so right now you have booted the ubuntu install cd and do not have the minimal space required to install the full thing is that right?
[12:49] <mashman> yup
[12:50] <jakewins> Hey. I'm trying to zip a folder using "zip -r foo foo"
[12:50] <pepperjack> mashman: im trying to think of any minimal install meta packages that will work for you..
[12:50] <jakewins> The problem is the archive contains the folder. ie foo.zip/foo/goodstuff
[12:50] <mashman> so i need to install ubuntu inside the windows but he's looking atleast 5gb of space of harddisk and i got only 2gb free space
[12:51] <jrib> jakewins: isn't that what you asked it to do?
[12:51] <pepperjack> anyone know the final install size of xubuntu-desktop?
[12:51] <jakewins> Yeah
[12:51] <AJenbo> Hi, can any one here help me install ebox?
[12:51] <jakewins> I know, I how do I ask it not to put the folder in the archive? ie
[12:51] <jakewins> foo-zip/goodstuff
[12:51] <jakewins> instead of foo.zip/foo/goodstuff
[12:51] <AJenbo> every one points fingeres ad me for using webmin but ebox install is broaken in U8.10
[12:52] <bazhang> mashman, you are referring to a wubi install ?
[12:52] <dexem> AJenbo, try on #ebox ;-)
[12:52] <AJenbo> ok
[12:52] <ivve> Hey guys, I need some help with the ubuntu panel. I managed to fumble away the default things on the panel i.e wlan etc. Anyone know how I get these back?

[12:53] <ivve> bazhang just in the terminal?
[12:53] <jrib> jakewins: the syntax is zip archivename.zip file1 file2 ...
[12:53] <pepperjack> mashman: this is the live installcd or the wubi install that is run inside MS Windows?
[12:53] <jakewins> jrib: I need it to be recursive though, and I don't know what files will be in the directoryh
[12:54] <mashman> the wubi install pepperjack
[12:54] <jrib> jakewins: look at the option right after -r in the man page to see if it is what you want (-R)
[12:54] <RanyAlbeg> Hi all ,
[12:54] <RanyAlbeg> im trying to go System->Administration->users and groups and i get:
[12:54] <RanyAlbeg> "The configuration could not be loaded : you are not allowed to access the system configuration"
[12:55] <pepperjack> mashman: your options are limited then unfortunately I think.  sorry ive not used the wubi installer.
[12:55] <pepperjack> mashman: can you free up more space?
[12:55] <cperrin88> Hi, my XServer doesn't start correctly since the last kernel update, is there anyone witht the same problem?
[12:55] <mashman> i already did but it seems i need mo atleast 3gb
[12:55] <jakewins> jrib: I'm gonna check it out, thanks!
[12:55] <pepperjack> cperrin88: nvidia card?
[12:55] <cperrin88> pepperjack: no ATI
[12:56] <error404notfound> what's bad if we set the reserve blocks in a partition to 0?
[12:56] <RanyAlbeg> I cant go System->Administration->users and groups . i get :  "The configuration could not be loaded : you are not allowed to access the system configuration" can you help?
[12:57] <cperrin88> I get only colourful stripes on my desktop
[12:57] <pax007> #freeBSD
[12:57] <cperrin88> I tryed a xserver rpair in the recovery mode bt it didn't help
[12:59] <martin__> wbz
[12:59] <martin__> :)
[12:59] <glitsj16> cperrin88: any error lines in your /var/log/xorg.0.log [lines starting with (EE)] to try and narrow the problem down somewhat ?
[12:59] <mashman> pepperjack is there no more way to minimize the installation unless ?
[12:59] <RanyAlbeg> I cant go System->Administration->users and groups . i get :  "The configuration could not be loaded : you are not allowed to access the system configuration" can you help?
[12:59] <cperrin88> glitsj16: good idea, i'll have a look
[13:00] <jrib> mashman: you know you can buy a 16gb flash stick for like 20 bucks and put ubuntu on it?
[13:01] <pepperjack> mashman: wubi is not the default method of installing ubuntu.  it is kinda a good way to install and preview it but you could get a flash stick and then burn a normal ubuntu livecd. when it boots then under the system dropdown i think is an option to install it to your flash drive.
[13:02] <dingxin> icr
[13:02] <cperrin88> glitsj16: I don't have a xorg.0.log O.o
[13:02] <pepperjack> not sure how full ubuntu speed fares running off flash stick with no swap or anything though..
[13:02] <dingxin> I dont't hava
[13:02] <aprilhare> my upgrade manager for some reason won't let me do a installation. it claims i need to do a partial upgrade. when i select partial upgrade, it wants to dump libplasma2 but this doesn't seem right to me. it's mostly KDE elements in the update list. have i missed something?
[13:03] <aprilhare> if that makes sense :) i'm running intrepid
[13:03] <jcuk> Question: If i placed a username "xyz" in the cron.allow and cron.deny files at the same time, which would override allow or deny?
[13:03] <dronix> jcuk: I believe deny
[13:03] <s3r3n1t7> pepperjack, quite well, the loading of very big programs takes a bit longer the first time but it's just as fast as any other version.
[13:03] <jrib> jcuk: there's a very easy way to find out for sure :)
[13:04] <aprilhare> packages like kde-window-manager are deselected and i'm not sure whats holding things back
[13:05] <DeLiK> cups?
[13:06] <DeLiK> !cups
[13:07] <cperrin88> damnit .... I have no clue where I should start ..... I' quite helpless .... I don't know xorg well
[13:07] <glitsj16> cperrin88: bizar indeed .. i underestimated case sensitivity, the actual filename is Xorg.0.log and should be under your /var/log folder ... the 0 refers to the screen X is running under, you could have a slightly different log file
[13:08] <error404notfound> is there a way I could check that what software is taking how much space so that if I need to cleanup I would remove the software taking larger chunk.
[13:08] <cperrin88> glitsj16: ahhh ... yes
[13:08] <s3r3n1t7> glitsj16, everything is case sensitive. try this ==> find /var/log -type f | grep -i xorg
[13:09] <texincali> could somone help me with some problems im having with ubuntu?
[13:09] <Vonoff> !metaquestion
[13:09] <alf> Is this the right place to ask questions for a new user?
[13:10] <dronix> yes alf
[13:10] <glitsj16> s3r3n1t7: thanks, hoping of a log shows up for cperrin88
[13:11] <texincali> im using an audigy 4 sound card and i dont have any sound...that and i cant seem to activate the cube in compiz....

[13:12] <s3r3n1t7> glitsj16, tell him to use the command then. You're his helper, so i directed my comment to you.
[13:12] <texincali> thankyou dronix
[13:12] <dronix> texincali please post back if it doesn't work

[13:12] <jrib> error404notfound: Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer
[13:13] <texincali> ok i will
[13:13] <glitsj16> cperrin88: could you paste your log file online so we can take a look at it ?
[13:13] <error404notfound> jrib: that would show disk utilization, no software disk usage.
[13:13] <cperrin88> nope
[13:13] <jrib> error404notfound: what's the difference?
[13:13] <alf> I posted a serious question on the new user forum but no answer. Could you please look and explain why I a not getting answers? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1099481
[13:13] <error404notfound> jrib: I meant a software that would show a list of installed software along with there disk consumption
[13:13] <cperrin88> glitsj16: I'm using a second PC
[13:14] <jrib> error404notfound: you mean how much space a package takes up?  Maybe synaptic...
[13:14] <error404notfound> jrib: nope, I don't see it in there...
[13:15] <baban_> ej om man har ett krypterat filsystem i ubuntu, hur kan man få fram fstab från en live cd ?
[13:15] <pepperjack> error404notfound: kdirstat is kinda handy for disk usage but wont show you package/dependancy stuff
[13:15] <error404notfound> pepperjack: well same thing is in Disk Usage analyzer in gnome, but I need something different here
[13:15] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, aptitude shows disk usage.
[13:15] <bazhang> baban_, english here please
[13:15] <Exilant> What is the best voice synth software in ubuntu, really festival?
[13:15] <error404notfound> s3r3n1t7: like?
[13:15] <jrib> error404notfound: right click -> properties on a package.  Your better bet is to use Disk Usage Analyzer, find big files/directories, then use dpkg -S to determine what package is responsible
[13:16] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, aptitude show pastebinit shows that it uses 90kb for example.
[13:16] <cypherus> is there a way with the "find" command to search for specific time ranges?
[13:16] <YAA1> What UNIT is the "TIME" field in the "top" tool ? to be more specific... I found a process that shows a time of 24:07 - what does that mean ? 24h 7sec of cpu time used or maybe 24.7 secs cpu time used? I was not able to find this information in any man page of it. Anybody can point me to a doc/man page or have a reliable explaination ?
[13:16] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. Is there a quick way on the commandline to remove the last n lines of a text file?
[13:16] <jrib> SmokeyD: sed?
[13:17] <baban_> hum,,, if you have a encrypted filesystem and want to acces the fstab file using a live cd, how do i do ?
[13:17] <SmokeyD> jrib: sed is for replacing tekst in files right? Can I just say: remove n lines from the end?
[13:17] <SmokeyD> and if so, how?
[13:17] <jrib> SmokeyD: yes
[13:17] <texincali> ok my sound is fixed....
[13:17] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, but what do you want to use it for? Check which package is largest?
[13:17] <Exilant> sed -i 75d file.text deletes line 75
[13:17] <glitsj16> cperrin88: that's not ringing any relevant bells i'm afraid ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X has general info on the way X is implemented on ubuntu, keep repeating your issue at reasonable intervals i'd say
[13:18] <texincali> now how do i fix my video so that compiz will load the cube....
[13:18] <texincali> i click the checkbox
[13:18] <texincali> and nothing happens
[13:18] <dronix> texincali: do you have the drivers for your gfx card loaded?
[13:18] <texincali> yes
[13:18] <dronix> texincali: what gfx are you using?
[13:19] <YAA1> Is there a Way to find out the AGE (or Date of Birth) of a process on Linux ????
[13:19] <texincali> like what card am i using?
[13:19] <dronix> yes

[13:19] <texincali> agp
[13:19] <phix> lol
[13:19] <phix> sorry
[13:19] <texincali> its worked before
[13:19] <phix> it wAS caled for
[13:20] <dronix> phix ?
[13:20] <phix> dronix: sup?
[13:20] <texincali> but the i tried to install fedora and my comp got messed up and had to format and now it wont work...
[13:20] <H3l1c0pt3r> I decided to disable my conky script on startup and i restarted X just to make sure, and now my pidgin keeps freezing when i try to do things like open a new contact window etc... it wont respond
[13:20] <cperrin88> glitsj16: What do you thin i should do now?
[13:20] <phix> dronix: you like ubuntu? or just any debian based distros?
[13:20] <SmokeyD> jrib, Exilant: thanks
[13:20] <bazhang> !ot | phix
[13:20] <dronix> phix only tried ubuntu
[13:21] <baban_> I have a encrypted filesystem and want to acces the /etc/fstab file using a live cd, howto ?
[13:21] <haaga> Hi there fellow ubuntuers.. Correct me if I am wrong, but if I want to prevent mysql from autostarting when computer boots, i'll just rm the softlinks in /etc/rc*.d right?
[13:21] <phix> ubottu: thank you
[13:21] <cast> baban_: open it with cryptsetup, then mount it
[13:21] <phix> baban_: do i
[13:21] <phix> it
[13:21] <bazhang> phix, please stop
[13:22] <texincali> so dronix have any idea what i can do?
[13:22] <phix> bazhang: ?
[13:22] <phix> bazhang: wtf
[13:22] <bazhang> phix, take chat elsewhere
[13:22] <phix> bazhang: sup?
[13:22] <phix> bazhang: it is ubuntu related, I was getting to a point
[13:22] <s3r3n1t7> phix, please take your chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic. This is a support channel.
[13:22] <glitsj16> cperrin88: i'd go over your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, websearch for your experienced problem (colored strips effect) and repeat your issue as detailed as possible .. not very much to go on i realize
[13:22] <bonhoffer> my network is totally down -- i am running 8.10 with 2.6.27-11
[13:22] <dronix> texincali: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:22] <phix> s3r3n1t7: hmmm fair enough, I don't want t support you
[13:23] <bonhoffer> other computers at home can connect to the network
[13:23] <dronix> texincali: select fglrx as the driver
[13:23] <haaga> Hi there fellow ubuntuers.. Correct me if I am wrong, but if I want to prevent mysql from autostarting when computer boots, i'll just rm the softlinks in /etc/rc*.d/ right?
[13:23] <haaga> anyone? :(
[13:23] <jway> what is the indicator applet in jaunty?
[13:23] <jway> right now my statusbar says "no indicators"
[13:23] <s3r3n1t7> haaga, that'd be in /etc/init.d/ if i remember correctly.
[13:23] <bazhang> jway, #ubuntu+1 for jaunty
[13:23] <jway> ah
[13:23] <cperrin88> glitsj16: Not very satisfying but thank you for your help ..... dem update :/ ....
[13:23] <wijnand> s3r3n1t7: aren't those the scripts?
[13:23] <cperrin88> *damn
[13:24] <texincali>  │ Use kernel framebuffer device interface?  ?
[13:24] <haaga> s3r3n1t7: that is the script to control the service..
[13:24] <H3l1c0pt3r> I decided to disable my conky script on startup and i restarted X just to make sure, and now my pidgin keeps freezing when i try to do things like open a new contact window etc... it wont respond
[13:24] <wijnand> s3r3n1t7: you need those scripts if you want to start it manually at some point
[13:24] <s3r3n1t7> haaga, don't remove them, but remove the executable script.
[13:24] <s3r3n1t7> wijnand, see above.
[13:24] <apelgate> hey
[13:24] <s3r3n1t7> s/script/bit
[13:24] <haaga> ah, i want to able to start it manually
[13:24] <apelgate> how do I install sasl on ubuntu 6.06?
[13:24] <apelgate> does it exist in the package manager?
[13:25] <wijnand> s3r3n1t7: i'm fairly sure the best course of action is removing the symlink from the rc#.d folder
[13:25] <bonhoffer> any folks here know about ubuntu networking?
[13:25] <jrib> !anyone | bonhoffer
[13:25] <s3r3n1t7> wijnand, I've always just removed the executable bit from the scripts. Has worked for me so far, i don't generally disable a service i need at some point.
[13:26] <haaga> and here is a follow up to that question, why are there symlinks in multiple rc#.d folders?
[13:26] <error404notfound> s3r3n1t7: yes... coz I am running out of space on /
[13:26] <haaga> mysql is in like 4-5 different rc#.d
[13:26] <hehao> #ubuntu -offtopic
[13:27] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, and have you located which folder holds that much diskspace? Also, do you use any virtualization software?
[13:27] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, and i'd check your var and tmp folders first.
[13:27] <apelgate> how do I install sasl on ubuntu 6.06? Does it exist on package manager? Or how do I make a search?
[13:27] <hehao> #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:27] <haaga> that right, run levels.. nvm, answered my own question.. :)
[13:27] <texincali> ok when i did that it had nothing in there about selecting fglrx as the driver
[13:27] <wijnand> haaga: can't you edid what is and isn't started at boot in the system menus?
[13:27] <wijnand> haaga: that's the best way to do it
[13:28] <wijnand> haaga: answering it yourself
[13:28] <haaga> wijnand: you mean under Services Settings?
[13:28] <wijnand> i think so yet
[13:28] <wijnand> yes
[13:28] <Gnea> apelgate: open a terminal and issue this:  apt-cache search sasl
[13:28] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, do this => du -sh /var  <= it'll say access denied a few times and show you the size of the var folder. Do the same for your /tmp and /home folder. See if they're using abnormally huge amounts of space.
[13:29] <gartral> what would cause ubuntu to not se the usb devices plugged into it?
[13:29] <gartral> see*
[13:29] <bazhang> gartral, into a hub?
[13:29] <dronix> texincali: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[13:29] <gartral> bazhang: negative
[13:29] <Exilant> gartral: do they appear in lsusb?
[13:29] <wijnand> s3r3n1t7: aren't those errors resolved by sudo'ing it?
[13:29] <haaga> wijnand: Thanks, i think that did the trick
[13:29] <bazhang> !envy | dronix texincali
[13:29] <texincali> its not an nvidia card
[13:29] <texincali> its radeon
[13:29] <gartral> bazhang: lsusb hand when i run it
[13:29] <gartral> hangs*
[13:30] <wijnand> haaga: good stuff
[13:30] <s3r3n1t7> wijnand, yes, but i'd rather avoid using sudo whenever i can. Small typo's can lead to big mistakes.
[13:30] <wijnand> true, but those make life fun ;)
[13:30] <dronix> texincali: its for both nvidia and ati cards
[13:30] <alf> Why would attaching a blank SATA drive cause Ubuntu to not boot?
[13:30] <Exilant> gartral: are you sure the usb device works?
[13:30] <wijnand> besides, du is far more accurate if you sudo it, but anyway
[13:31] <s3r3n1t7> wijnand, not when you're trying to fix an issue. The size is exactly the same for me (just checked)
[13:31] <gartral> Exilant: yes, im quite sure. i just got done transferring music too it (and yes, i waited till ubuntu told me it was safe too remove)
[13:32] <texincali> there isnt one for intrepid
[13:32] <texincali> only hardy
[13:32] <wijnand> s3r3n1t7: i thought it skipped the size of whatever it doesn't have access to.. which COULD be an entire homedir for another user
[13:32] <Droopsta915> Im going to buy a printer today, nothing fancy, just a lil' cheapo'. Anyone recommend a certain printer I should be looking at?
[13:32] <cypherus> is there a way with the "find" command to search for specific time ranges?
[13:33] <wijnand> Droopsta915: personally i'd avoid HP
[13:33] <sagredo> !juanty
[13:33] <sagredo> !jaunty
[13:33] <dronix> droopsta915: hp, cannon might be good
[13:33] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters Droopsta915
[13:33] <gartral> unplugging the device and running lsusb works though
[13:33] <jrib> cypherus: yes, check the man page for atime, ctime, and mtime
[13:33] <s3r3n1t7> wijnand, home folders are by default readable by other users, only a few folders are protected from other users. The size difference between using sudo and not sudo is 30k for me, having 4 users on this system.
[13:34] <pepperjack> !upgrade > satya
[13:34] <gartral> pepperjack: try that with a pipe
[13:35] <s3r3n1t7> cypherus, yes, take a look at the -newer flag.
[13:35] <pepperjack> gartral: he left the chan anyway
[13:35] <s3r3n1t7> cypherus, -newerXY actually
[13:36] <s3r3n1t7> error404notfound, also synaptic does show the size. Check under prefences, you can enable the option to show the installed size of packages there. Good luck, i have to go.
[13:36] <cypherus> cool, thanks I 'll check that ouy
[13:36] <s3r3n1t7> wijnand, thank you for your catches and comments. Best of luck.
[13:36] <error404notfound> aaaahhh
[13:36] <cypherus> out
[13:37] <s3r3n1t7> cypherus, man find wins there.
