[17:04] <mounir> jhvjhqbl*
[17:05] <RichardWolfVI> arvind_khadri: I just said to the Frenchies that I don't speak French.
[17:05] <D_likescookies> yay! I updated my gfx driver on a command line! and almost had no help to do it. ^^
[17:05] <arvind_khadri> RichardWolfVI, oh sorry...
[17:05] <Chewie[]> hey, where can i go to set up a second x server? i would ordinarily do soemthing with inittab, but it's phased out.
[17:06]  * RichardWolfVI gives D_likescookies a cookie.
[17:06] <D_likescookies> lol tyvm, I like that.
[17:08] <_VIM_> 5 minutes of no questions, just joining/parting, am I lagging or something?
[17:08] <RichardWolfVI> _VIM_: And a netsplit. Don't forget the netsplit :P
[17:08]  * _VIM_ checks his ping
[17:08] <_VIM_> :)
[17:09] <mestopholeese> I have a problem with a proxy setting.  It does not go away when I unset it. Can anyone help?
[17:09] <jrib> Chewie[]: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf* (read the comments)
[17:09] <kapat> I want to import a local certificate authority, so that empathy will use it.  Where do I put it?
[17:10] <kapat> I tried copying it to /etc/ssl/certs, but it didn't make a difference for empathy
[17:10] <dilbert> Sorry, stepped away for a little
[17:10] <vanksi> has anyone gotten Option GlobeTrotter GT MAX 7.2 working?
[17:10] <dilbert> did anyone know about ubunut on sparc?

[17:12] <mib_bjo0no> hi
[17:12] <AJC_Z0> How do I prevent Update Manager from stealing focus?
[17:12] <_VIM_> AJC_Z0: I hate that too
[17:12] <bruoos> on sudoers file,   user2  localhost=(root) /sbin/ifup,/sbin/ifdown         but user2 is still denied to do ifup eth1 because /var/run/network/ifstate is only 0644  ?
[17:12] <hb|work> dilbert: debian still supports sparc, however
[17:12] <RPS> Hello Guys, I've been thinking of trying out the KDE gui ....any words of advice? I'm starting from scratch, so I'm a bit clueless (what else is new) on the matter.
[17:13] <hb|work> RPS: easiest way is to install kubuntu-desktop package
[17:13] <lasivian> can anyone recommend a good keylogger besides "userspace"? thanks
[17:13] <RichardWolfVI> RPS: It's not hard to try out, it's a bit resource intensive, but just install the package, everything will be fine.
[17:13] <dilbert> I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Sun Server (Sparc) because I HATE redhat/fedora/aurora (really, I just hate yum)
[17:13] <_VIM_> AJC_Z0: I would assume in compiz one could set a regex something or another for that particular window to not steal focus, but that's a bit beyond my expertise :)
[17:13] <mib_bjo0no> can anyone tell me why ubuntu is better than xp ?
[17:13] <_VIM_> mib_bjo0no: don't poll here please
[17:13] <_VIM_> !poll > mib_bjo0no
[17:13] <kdub> AJC_Z0: you can set focus stealing prevention levels
[17:14] <dilbert> the problem is, when i boot the cd, it will start, but in the install it won't find the HDD's
[17:14] <dilbert> all HDD's are in a D1000
[17:14] <RichardWolfVI> mib_bjo0no: It's more stable and secure, to start with. Do you have any problems with it?
[17:14] <dilbert> which is attached via scsi
[17:14] <danopia> hi
[17:14] <cTn> hi guys, if i could ask, do i still need swap partition for ubuntu, when i have 3gb of ram on my laptop?
[17:14] <dilbert> so I need to load some special drivers/modules into the kernel
[17:14] <dilbert> i think
[17:14] <mib_bjo0no> RichardWolfVI: I'm downloading it now
[17:14] <RichardWolfVI> cTn: Yes.
[17:14] <kdub> cTn: its advisable. it is not necessary though.
[17:15] <RichardWolfVI> cTn: It's better not to suffer when your memory depletes.
[17:16] <_VIM_> ctn for a laptop, kind of necessary because of hybernation and whatnot, least from what Ive heard in here anyways...
[17:16] <Marsol0> I know ubottu just warned against this, but does anyone have wireless working reliably in Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One 8.9
[17:16] <dilbert> any help with what I posted ^ ?
[17:16] <kdub> yeah, afaik, its necessary for hibernation, but not suspend
[17:17] <Eressolar> dilbert: if someone has an answer, you'll be the first to know. no need to repeat yourself.
[17:18] <cTn> _VIM_: oh, and how big it should be, ? abou 4 gig is enough?
[17:18] <_VIM_> cTn: I've always heard it's 1.5 to 2 X your ram
[17:19] <RichardWolfVI> cTn: 4 GB might be enpugh, bt don't be cheap :P
[17:19] <RichardWolfVI> *enough
[17:19] <sysdoc> Marsol0, have you seen this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne
[17:19] <RichardWolfVI> *but
[17:19] <cTn> RichardWolfVI: ok thank u guys :)
[17:20] <Marsol0> sysdoc: I have. But that isn't reliable enough. I'm curious to what other people have done to see if there's something I may have overlooked.
[17:20] <_VIM_> if you got the hdd space, I suppose give it 4-6 gigs, if space is limited give it 2 or3 maybe
[17:20] <Anarhist> i've just installed jaunty, and now when i go to any folder in the menu rather than opening nautilus it opens up Audacious and tries to play that folder's contents as files
[17:20] <_VIM_> !jaunty | Anarhist
[17:21] <Anarhist> thanks
[17:21] <sysdoc> Marsol0, Did you try blacklist module acer_wmi ?
[17:21] <Marsol0> I haven't. I'll have to give that a whirl.
[17:21] <Duddle> hello! I have a small script that I would like to run at bootup. but in the script I use sudo, so I'd have to enter my password.
[17:22] <Duddle> I've tried adding it through the session startup-programs, but since it will not open a terminal or something, it doesn't work
[17:22] <zilleplus> hey guys i got 2the harddisk in my computer how do i format it in linux ubuntu servr 8
[17:22] <Duddle> what is the correct way of doing that, adding a script that needs your password to bootup?
[17:22] <RichardWolfVI> zilleplus: Use gparted.
[17:23] <zilleplus> is it also on sever edition i did't know
[17:23] <sysdoc> Marsol0, the 2.6.27-11-generic kernel breaks the MIC card too
[17:23] <sysdoc> MIC=NIC sorry
[17:23] <RichardWolfVI> zilleplus: Yep, Ubuntu server isn't that dissimilar to de desktop one
[17:23] <FFForever> how can i stop services like php/mysql from starting on boot?
[17:23] <heatmzzr> anyone familiar with Wine?
[17:23] <Marsol0> sysdoc: yeah, I know about that. I don't mind booting into an earlier kernel to get around that.
[17:24] <RichardWolfVI> zilleplus: I'm using it because it has PAE, mainly.
[17:24] <AJC_Z0> kdub: That sounds useful. Please point me in the right direction
[17:24] <Pici> !boot > Duddle
[17:24] <Pici> !boot > FFForever
[17:24] <zilleplus> ooh

[17:24] <heatmzzr> Trying to install windows within ubuntu. Wine error says I need 445m of free temp space, it their a was to configure wine with more space?
[17:25] <vald0r> Question: If I un-install mysql with apt-get and reinstall it. will it destroy my mysql database's?
[17:25] <FFForever> also i have a few bash scripts i want to turn into system commands how can i do that?
[17:25] <Pici> FFForever: alias them.
[17:25] <hb|work> FFForever: you want the commands available to everyone?
[17:25] <FFForever> hb|work, nah
[17:26] <hb|work> FFForever: then, like Pici said, alias them, or mark them executable and put them in ~/bin/
[17:26] <FFForever> thanks hb|work
[17:27] <hb|work> heatmzzr: you're trying to install windows within ubuntu with wine?
[17:27] <RichardWolfVI> heatmzzr: I guess you are making a mistake, Wine is for running Windows apps, you don't need to install Windows.
[17:27] <Duddle> Pici: thanks, will try
[17:27] <heatmzzr> will it run any winblows app??
[17:27] <vald0r> heatmzzr: You can use VirtualBox if you wish to install windows inside linux
[17:27] <Pici> !appdb | heatmzzr
[17:28] <RichardWolfVI> heatmzzr: The most known, yes
[17:28] <heatmzzr> ok guys thanks

[17:29] <Dreamglider> Can someone tell my  why ubuntu wont mount my ntfs disk ? output from fdisk -l and mount -all > http://pastebin.com/m70da6f01
[17:29] <hb|work> dilbert: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html
[17:29] <RichardWolfVI> Dreamglider:The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
[17:29] <RichardWolfVI> Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
[17:29] <RichardWolfVI> partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
[17:30] <dilbert> thanks
[17:30] <hb|work> dilbert: ubuntu no long supports sparc in new releases (but debian still does)
[17:30] <calc> Dreamglider: because you are trying to mount sda1 as ntfs which is linux swap partition?
[17:30] <vald0r> Anyone familiar with mysql servers?
[17:30] <dilbert> well, as far as sparc, I was donated 3  servers with massive storage, so i want to use them
[17:30] <Dreamglider> calc: i didi mount -all it should mount all the disks
[17:30] <calc> Dreamglider: your ntfs partition is sdc1 according to your pastebin
[17:30] <dilbert> vald0r: sure am
[17:30] <calc> Dreamglider: yes and it appears your /etc/fstab is setup to claim sda1 is ntfs
[17:30] <dilbert> vald0r: what do you need
[17:30] <calc> Dreamglider: you didn't post your /etc/fstab so i can't tell for certain
[17:30] <hb|work> dilbert: 6.06 LTS probably the best ubuntu release to use, alternatively I'd go with Debian 5.0 if you're against rpm based distros
[17:31] <Pretto>     Dreamglider  try the mount command and paste   the output on pastebin
[17:31] <Dreamglider> calc: allright all paste it
[17:31] <vald0r> dilbert:  I need re install mysql.  But need a heads up if my mysql database's will become destroyed if i use apt-get to remove and reinstall the server

[17:32] <hb|work> distant_voice: istanbul, or xvidcap
[17:33] <dilbert> vald0r: do a sql dump first
[17:33] <calc> Dreamglider: your /etc/fstab is setup wrong it has /dev/sda1 being ntfs which it is not
[17:33] <calc> Dreamglider: it should be /dev/sdc1 in fstab
[17:33] <distant_voice> thank you hb
[17:33] <glitsj16> Rencx: http://www.linux-sound.org/ddj.html gives an overview of some options
[17:33] <zilleplus> does annyone know the command for gparted  "sudo gparted" doesn't work????
[17:33] <vald0r> dilbert: I cant, the server won't start after I had a update for some reason
[17:33] <dewman> Good Afternoon everyone
[17:33] <dilbert> hb|work: thanks - how's support with Debian and Sun hardware? like a d1000?

[17:34] <Rencx> grate and which one is the best for mixing?
[17:34] <vald0r> dilbert: It says  Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port.  But i checked. netstat -tulnap and nothings running on that port
[17:34] <RichardWolfVI> zilleplus: What's the terminal output?
[17:34] <zilleplus> don't think so
[17:34] <Rencx> grate and which one is the best for mixing live?
[17:34] <zilleplus> command not found
[17:34] <vald0r> dilbert:  Which is why i wanted to try reinstalling

[17:37] <zilleplus> Richard waths your name on skype
[17:38] <Dreamglider> calc: i meant to say sdc1
[17:38] <calc> Dreamglider: sdc means [s]csi [d]isk [c] (as in third) partion [1]

[17:38] <FFForever> how can i stop network manager from changing my dns (maybe lock the file?)
[17:39] <calc> Dreamglider: linux treats all disks (or nearly all) as scsi now so it doesn't matter if it is ide or scsi it still shows up as sd[a-z][1-16]

[17:40] <ojm> Hiya, how do I get multiplayer to work in ufoai? When I try to create a server it crashes. Windows-version works.
[17:40] <calc> Dreamglider: are you sure your drive has ntfs on it... meaning you didn't overwrite it or something like that?
[17:41] <vald0r> Rencx: Also check out LMMS, but thats more recording/creating, and ardour
[17:41] <dewman> Ok..
[17:41] <calc> Dreamglider: your sdc1 showed as it was ntfs according to the partition table but if it doesn't mount perhaps it isn't ntfs after all
[17:41] <Dreamglider> calc: pretty sure yes, it worked last night.
[17:41] <new-tu> :)
[17:41] <new-tu> ?
[17:41] <calc> Dreamglider: what have you changed since last night?
[17:41] <hb|work> new-tu: you can just boot the machine normally, press Esc to see the grub menu.  boot the "single" or "recovery" ubuntu option (usually 2nd option) instead of the default
[17:41] <fdsae> how do i tweak to a higher resolution?
[17:42] <hb|work> new-tu: it should drop you to a root login or prompt
[17:42] <new-tu> hgwork - cant do that... when I do that, the screen goes black - I hosed the device vesa command in xord.conf
[17:42] <Dreamglider> calc: i cloned my ubuntu partition to a bigger harddisk, the one im trying to mount has been unplugged untill now.
[17:42] <new-tu> "command" - whatever ya call it  :)
[17:43] <calc> Dreamglider: does the ntfs partition have windows on it, so you can test that it still works or something like that?
[17:43] <dewman> Ummm..I really feel like an idiot....
[17:43] <new-tu> i need to tweak that file to put it back to default -
[17:43] <new-tu> dewman - u and me both
[17:43] <dewman> It helps to plug the usb cable into the usb port..

[17:45] <glitsj16> okidoki: that looks like you'll need a cli PHP on your new 8.10 server
[17:45] <calc> Dreamglider: does running this as sudo (or root) work?  mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt ?
[17:46] <RichardWolfVI> new-tu: It's easier to just reconfigure X.Org
[17:46] <new-tu> just type nano at root prompt?
[17:46] <Dreamglider> calc: it gives the same error

[17:47] <Dreamglider> i dont have a windows system anymore.
[17:47] <glitsj16> okidoki: does the new machine have a package called php5-cli installed ? if not, sudo apt-get install php5-cli will install it

[17:47] <vishesh> Hey does anyone over here have any experience with Intel Graphic card drivers ?
[17:47] <hb|work> new-tu: yeah, nano will work
[17:47] <hb|work> vishesh: what's the issue
[17:47] <calc> Dreamglider: linux can refuse to mount a ntfs partition if it is not cleanly unmounted in windows, but this error doesn't seem like that
[17:47] <okidoki> glitsj16: aha, i'll try that
[17:47] <RichardWolfVI> new-tu: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[17:47] <coreyman> Dreamglider last night i was able to mount my windows hard disk as NTFS and grab files off of it

[17:48] <ampm> please!!!
[17:48] <calc> coreyman: his ntfs partition can't be mounted at all, it claims it is not ntfs or no signature found

[17:48] <calc> coreyman: its not the uncleanly unmounted error that sometimes happens
[17:48] <coreyman> mabye he needs to do a live gparted and set the FS
[17:48] <Dreamglider> coreyman: http://pastebin.com/m153826f3
[17:49] <coreyman> pastebin is blocked on my school network :P
[17:49] <calc> coreyman: the partition type is set right for ntfs, and even running mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt does not work
[17:49] <keith-> is there a way to mount a directory as an iso?
[17:49] <mestopholeese> keith: Do you mean mount an iso?
[17:49] <calc> keith-: mount an iso as a directoy?
[17:49] <okidoki> glitsj16: worked, thanks!
[17:49] <keith-> no
[17:49] <Dreamglider> coreyman: can i pm the output ?
[17:49] <glitsj16> okidoki: you're welcome
[17:50] <coreyman> yes dreamglider
[17:50] <calc> keith-: to make an iso out of a directory you have to use mkisofs
[17:50] <calc> keith-: you can loopback mount iso's as directories but a directory isn't inherently an iso :)
[17:50] <ampm> how do i get someones attention around this place?!?!?
[17:50] <keith-> yeah i thought i might have to do all that. k
[17:50] <new-tu> what direcxtory is xorg.conf
[17:50] <arvind_khadri> !ask | amazin
[17:50] <new-tu> in?
[17:50] <arvind_khadri> !ask | ampm
[17:50] <arvind_khadri> amazin, sorry about that
[17:51] <arvind_khadri> ampm, what was your question?
[17:51] <Dreamglider> new-tu: /etc/x11
[17:51] <ampm> I am trying to install my logitech mediaboard pro i bought to use with ubuntu on my ps3
[17:52] <vishesh> hb|work:  Well, I have this Intel G35 graphic card who's drivers don't seem to be working properly. I have installed the xsever-xorg-intel package, and configured xorg.conf to use the intel driver. But - glxgears runs at about 500 fps and flickers a lot plus the window lags a lot in general. Plus when I write a simple OpenGL program which print out glGetString(GL_VERSION) it shows 1.4 Mesa, and I need atleast 2.0.
[17:52] <defrysk>  /etc/X11/
[17:52] <kevink23> i installed the compiz desktop effects and it isnt coming up in preferences, can anyone help me?
[17:52] <defrysk> capital X
[17:52] <_VIM_> !ccsm | kevink23
[17:52] <coreyman> calc is there a way he can query /dev/sdc1 to check see if it's actually NTFS
[17:52] <ampm> tried to connect in the gedit and after i typed in the password the terminal flashes white and then disappears and then gedit will not open unless i reboot
[17:53] <Dreamglider> coreyman: it is a ntfs partition.
[17:53] <arvind_khadri> ampm, does X recognize your keyboard?
[17:53] <calc> coreyman: not that i know of, there isn't a fsck.ntfs afaict
[17:53] <new-tu> richard: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg brought me to use kernel framebuffer device interface y/n
[17:53] <new-tu> Richard: now what
[17:53] <calc> coreyman: maybe something in ntfsprogs package
[17:53] <calc> coreyman: i got rid of all of my ntfs partitions already so i can't easily test here
[17:54] <new-tu> I don't know if this is going to fix the typo I put in my xorg.conf file
[17:54] <Dreamglider> coreyman: i have been using it in ubuntu for quite some time with ntfs-3g
[17:54] <olavimmanuel> how can one tell find to exclude something? like NOT in google. eg: unrar e `find ~/toorents -name "*.rar" NOT part*.rar` && unrar e `find ~/toorents -name "part001.rar"`
[17:54] <coreyman> Dreamglider crap i g2g ill be back later.. sorry!
[17:54] <pascal__> test
[17:55] <hb|work> vishesh: a couple of things: (1) glxinfo should be able to tell you if direct rendering is enabled.  (2)  You shouldn't actually need an xorg.conf, i.e. X should be able to autodetect and set things up properly.  I would try moving xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup or similar and restarting X to see if it makes a difference
[17:55] <ampm> how do i find if x recognizes ir?
[17:55] <karlo> hello, my WLAn detects no network, i have a laptop! what can i do?
[17:56] <calc> Dreamglider: if you know anyone else with windows you could try hooking the drive up to their pc to see if it still works since you no longer have windows yourself
[17:56] <RichardWolfVI> karlo: Are there networks available in first place?
[17:56] <karlo> first place?
[17:56] <calc> Dreamglider: the error message you are getting would indicate that the partition is corrupted, but you can't know for certain until you try hooking it up to a windows pc
[17:56] <Dreamglider> calc: i might ill go n check.
[17:56] <KalEl> how can i run ubuntu inside window xp, or windows xp inside ubuntu?
[17:57] <erUSUL> !virtualizerss | KalEl
[17:57] <erUSUL> !virtualizers | KalEl
[17:57] <RichardWolfVI> karlo: Are there actually any Wireless networks in you zone?
[17:57] <vishesh> hb|work: Yes, direct rendering is enabled. And reverting xorg.conf to the original settings doesn't make any difference. Direct Rendering may be enabled, but I don't think I'm using it. Is that possible ?
[17:57] <calc> KalEl: you can also install ubuntu without repartitioning windows by using wubi
[17:57] <fdsae> how do i log in as root? or whats the default pw?
[17:57] <calc> !wubi | KalEl
[17:57] <karlo> RichardWolfVI: yes my phone shows 3 networks(including my own wlan) I'm currently using cable

[17:59] <jgreen> any suggestions?
[17:59] <sony> ohhh i was mistake
[17:59] <sony> byee
[17:59] <jrib> jgreen: why are you bring firefox into it?
[17:59] <jgreen> so it can load a js file
[18:00] <Dreamglider> calc: in windows the drive shows up but upon opening it i get a pop sying the disk is not formated and asks me if i want to formate it
[18:00] <jgreen> and output the flash files
[18:00] <kevink23> can someone tell me what the command is to get an application
[18:00] <calc> Dreamglider: yes, so it is corrupted
[18:00] <jgreen> I am looking for flv info ;-)
[18:00] <calc> Dreamglider: perhaps you cloned the disk incorrectly when you were redoing your system last night?
[18:00] <olavimmanuel> kevink23: sudo apt-get install
[18:00] <cthompson__> I am trying to find a method of determining whether a user has done `su username` or `su - username`

[18:01] <calc> Dreamglider: well somehow it lost its filesystem, i've seen ntfs do that on a windows machine before but its not that common
[18:01] <kevink23>  thanks!
[18:01] <calc> Dreamglider: i try to never use ntfs for that reason, i either use linux fs like ext3 or fat32 since ntfs seems too unstable to me
[18:01] <new-tu> yay!  i managed to unhose it - thanks everyone
[18:01] <Dreamglider> calc:  so the partition table or simthing is list ?
[18:01] <olavimmanuel> Mextux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[18:02] <RichardWolfVI> karlo: Do you know which driver it uses?
[18:02] <calc> Dreamglider: all the data on your external drive is probably gone at this point
[18:02] <karlo> RihardWolfVI: no
[18:02] <calc> Dreamglider: the formatting of the partition itself is what is messed up
[18:02] <Dreamglider> calc: but i have not formated it
[18:03] <calc> Dreamglider: it somehow got corrupted
[18:03] <Boski-PL> hello all need help! Help me:-D, please. raid0 issues, I can`t mount it, I can`t boot my XP installation which is on raid0 and i`ve got there whole bunch of life saving files, so pls help!!!!!
[18:03] <calc> Dreamglider: as i said this sometimes happens even on windows for no reason, i had a windows laptop a few years ago that it bluescreened one day and after that the ntfs file system was completely gone
[18:03] <calc> Dreamglider: i lost all my data on my laptop on that day :\
[18:03] <calc> Dreamglider: after that I never used ntfs again
[18:03] <karlo> with lshw it says disabled
[18:03] <Dreamglider> calc: that sux
[18:04] <jgreen> what are command line screen shot tools in ubuntu
[18:04] <Dreamglider> calc: ill give testdisk a spin see what happens
[18:04] <jrib> jgreen: personally, I'd use python.  But you might be able to get away with just wget and grep
[18:04] <jgreen> and what are header capture tools
[18:04] <karlo> how can i search for wlan?
[18:04] <jgreen> I don't mind python
[18:04] <RichardWolfVI> karlo: Go to, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers (or something like that)
[18:04] <calc> Dreamglider: there might be some windows utility that can recover the data, but it depends on what happened
[18:04] <karlo> richardwolfVI: there are no drivers in that list
[18:05] <calc> Dreamglider: regular windows probably can't recover it but a third party windows utility might be able to
[18:05] <Dreamglider> calc: i salvaged my ext3 partition with testdisk this morning  :)
[18:05] <calc> Dreamglider: ah
[18:05] <heatmzzr> hey guys thanks, virtual box is a nice program, can i assume that i can run winblows programs somehow installing them thru virtual box, i recently installed winblows on my other drive but it isnt necessary isit?

[18:05] <vishesh> Hey !! I'm having problem with my Intel Graphic card. I have this Intel G35 graphic card who's drivers don't seem to be working properly. I have installed the xsever-xorg-intel package, and configured xorg.conf to use the intel driver. But - glxgears runs at about 500 fps and flickers a lot plus the window lags a lot in general. Plus when I write a simple OpenGL program which print out glGetString(GL_VERSION) it shows 1.4 Mesa, and I need atleast 2.0. On
[18:06] <calc> Dreamglider: thanks for the info, looking at testdisk now, i'm sure it will come in handy eventually since i work on lots of computers :)
[18:06] <vishesh> reading glxinfo it shows that direct rendering is enabled, but the applications seem to lag a lot ... Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this ?
[18:06] <karlo> RichardWolfVI: how? the resstricted list is empty
[18:06] <Boski-PL> did any1 notice my cry out loud?!??!?!

[18:10] <ampm> how can i stop gedit from crashing after i type in my password?
[18:10] <RichardWolfVI> vishesh: It's kind of a bug, opening the terminal that way doesn't disable direct rendering.
[18:10] <karlo> ill be back in 2 minutes
[18:10] <RichardWolfVI> karlo: Restart
[18:10] <sonictwin> tokies: when you use the nvidia-settings-manager make sure you are root, launch it from terminal with 'su nvidia-settings-manager'
[18:11] <Palermo> hello @ all
[18:11] <JoeBelow> sonictwin: you mean sudo
[18:11] <sonictwin> yes sudo
[18:11] <Palermo> is here a german help room

[18:12] <new-tu> hi again!  Just edited xorg.conf for the first time - and then put back the default version after i hosed the darn thing.  (grin)   GA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G is the vidcard I got.  Want to either install the driver I downloaded from intel or increase resolution
[18:13] <JoeBelow> RichardWolfVI: not that it matters, but it won't work as stated - with the command as a parameter (su [USERNAME])
[18:13] <RichardWolfVI> JoeBelow: You're right
[18:13] <Geek`N`Proud> su -c command
[18:13] <new-tu> i have a dripkg folder
[18:13] <pierre_> good evening
[18:13] <new-tu> aand installed something called "alien"
[18:13] <tokies> Geek`N`Proud - but most things can be pulled off in the gui when it comes to settings "screen" settings
[18:14] <RichardWolfVI> vishesh: Opening the terminal from the keyboard disables Direct Rendering causing programs to run the way you just explained.
[18:14] <tokies> thanks for your help good
[18:14] <arvind_khadri> !terminal > ampm
[18:14] <new-tu> i hope SOME of this is relavent and can help u help me :)

[18:16] <fdsae> it just runs through keyboard layouts and then quits
[18:16] <fdsae> no errors though
[18:17] <fdsae> any help?
[18:17] <new-tu> ewook - i acutally don't know the difference yet...  like a newbie, i read a webpage and follwed it, hoping it had something to do with the intel driver file i downloaded
[18:17] <mib_ezhgk8> I'm having trouble getting a USB device to work that requires libusb. Is this a good place to ask? nickbeep me, thanks

[18:23] <bobbob1016> I've recently updated compiz git, and I can't seem to change settings.  Last time I updated and had this issue, I just chmodded my ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/, did that this time, and nothing.  Any ideas?  (Using flat-file and gconf have no difference)
[18:24] <new-tu> the OK is not highlighted
[18:24] <Pici> bobbob1016: Please ask in #compiz-fusion, since you're not using the version we included with Ubuntu
[18:24] <bobbob1016> Pici, I did, thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here anyways, just in case.

[18:35] <g0nad> zilleplus: your question is unclear
[18:35] <hunter_> I think the reason ubuntu doesn't well on this laptop, nor do any other Linux OS, is because this is an HP - are they know for not being Linux friendly?

[18:41] <AJC_Z0> kdub: I do use compiz, so thanks! Now all I need is to have xwininfo ready to grab the infor from the popups before they disappear
[18:41] <ampm> what sudo hidd command do I need to connect my bluetooth keyboard?
[18:41] <keystr0k> Is there a way to "lock" the ALT key when I start an application (to simulate that it is always held down?)
[18:41] <olavimmanuel> how can one tell find to exclude something? like "NOT" in google. eg: unrar e `find ~/toorents -name "*.rar" NOT part*.rar` && unrar e `find ~/toorents -name "part001.rar"`
[18:41] <humpty_dumpty> what do you mean by locking the ALT key?
[18:41] <AJC_Z0> kdub: I also changed "Focus Prevention Level" from "Low" to "Normal". I don't know what difference that's supposed to make, but it sounds good
[18:42] <DCEmu_user01> Come visit my forum where you can watch the newest movies online for FREE: http://movieparadise.informe.com/
[18:42] <humpty_dumpty> does it mean that the  alt key should be ****ing held down for ever?
[18:42] <keystr0k> humpty_dumpty, I have an app that seems to think my ALT key is always pressed.  Put in a bug report.  I was just thinking there may be a way to trick it.
[18:42] <humpty_dumpty> errr.. I didn't know bad words like **** are filtered by freenode.
[18:42] <AJC_Z0> olavimmanuel: -a \! -name foo
[18:42] <DCEmu_user01> Come visit my forum where you can watch the newest movies online for FREE: http://movieparadise.informe.com/
[18:42] <humpty_dumpty> read the ****ing manual.
[18:42] <keystr0k> heh
[18:42] <keystr0k> read the manual?
[18:42] <humpty_dumpty> wow! it filters the four lettered word
[18:43] <mib_ezhgk8> olavimmanuel pipe find's output through grep, and use a regular expression to select what you want excluded
[18:43] <thomc> Is there a method I could use to record how much bandwidth I use each day and then calculate a rolling average for the last ten days?
[18:43] <prometheus765> hi, i have Intrepid and my totem displays all videos with wrong aspect ratio ( video is little bit squeezed vertically). In VLC and mplayer everything is ok. Anyone have similar problem? My graphic card is nvidia based.
[18:43] <Something132> help help help
[18:43] <olavimmanuel> AJC_Z0: Thanks.
[18:43] <Something132> !
[18:43] <ampm> who knows how to set up a bluetooth keyboard in 8.1?
[18:45] <hunter_> I figured Linux would make things run quicker, not slower.  Since it runs slower I'll just go back to Windows Vista
[18:45] <chrisbard> I have vista
[18:45] <chrisbard> and now ubuntu
[18:45] <chrisbard> its running ok for me
[18:46] <hunter_> its running ok here as well...keyword "ok", Vista runs fine I just didn't like it eating up all my resources, but I will deal with it since it runs quicker than ubuntu
[18:46] <ampm> how do i install a bluetooth keyboard?
[18:47] <chrisbard> I love vista because of gaming mainly
[18:47] <hunter_> yeah chrisbard
[18:47] <cjae> Ok the computer in question had an onboard ati graphics installed and I don't believe that the ati fglrx driver was installed. Now the computer has a nvidia 7400 geforce card pci-e in it but kde window manager freezes upon login, here are the steps ive done so far
[18:48] <Hartwell>  #twitlive
[18:48] <cjae> recovery mode xfix, I think this issues the sudo dpkg --reconfigure -xserver-xorg?
[18:48] <hunter_> Have you ever checked your free memory though in Vista?  LOL...there is hardly none since it caches most all of it
[18:48] <chrisbard> the autoupdate features of ubuntu are quite allright
[18:48] <Pici> !offtopic | hunter_ chrisbard
[18:48] <cjae> then I took it to the console and stopped kdm
[18:48] <hunter_> How is what we are speaking off off topic Pici?
[18:48] <chrisbard> with mirc you can talk with one person
[18:49] <hunter_> Pici....ubuntu lags and I was stating how there is no lag in Vista hoping someone could offer some assistance
[18:49] <chrisbard> is this not possible with xchat?
[18:49] <cjae> sudo dpkg --configure -a   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   sudo apt-get --reinstall install kde-window-manager
[18:49] <Pici> hunter_: Talking about Windows Vista's memory is not on topic for the Ubuntu Support channel.
[18:49] <todd> anyone know an easy way to set the image comment on a bunch of files in a bunch of directories?
[18:49] <hunter_> Pici : if it relates to an ubuntu issue I see no problem with that, anyhow
[18:49] <chrisbard> pici
[18:49] <Pici> chrisbard: ?
[18:50] <chrisbard> do you know how I can sort my x-fi creative to work in ubuntu?
[18:50] <chrisbard> is there a driver for it?
[18:50] <Pici> hunter_: I disagree, but perhaps try rephrasing your question, or elaborating on 'lag', do you mean network problems?
[18:50] <heatmzzr> how do I get the mouse to work in virtualbox??
[18:50] <Pici> chrisbard: I'm sorry, I don't.   I tried google & stuff, no joy :-(
[18:51] <glitsj16> chrisbard: Creative did the trouble to provide a linux driver for their X-fi, have you seen http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html ?
[18:51] <oCean_> ampm: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[18:51] <ampm> ive used that link aandits still not working
[18:51] <oCean_> ampm: well, it is the answer to your question. Provide more details of your problem, and someone might be able to help...
[18:51] <prometheus765> i have Intrepid and my totem displays all videos with wrong aspect ratio ( video is little bit squeezed vertically). In VLC and mplayer everything is ok. Anyone have similar problem? My graphic card is nvidia based.
[18:52] <olavimmanuel> thanks mib_ezhgk8. Diddnt get the other one to work, so ill try that :D
[18:52] <ampm> i type in the code into the terminal and it will say command not found?
[18:53] <FrozenFire[work]> Is there a place to find a list of update descriptions for Ubuntu? I know of the Synaptic History, but I want detailed descriptions of updates. For instance, I just installed a number of FireFox updates.
[18:53] <olavimmanuel> scratch that :) got it
[18:53] <oCean_> ampm: be more specific. *what* code / command?
[18:54] <Pici> ampm: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[18:54] <todd> ampm; if you dont have a command then apt-get it
[18:54] <chrisbard> does anyone know if there is a steam version for ubuntu??
[18:54] <fdsae> alright.. i looked through some tutorials on screen resolution tweaking and it said to run xorg config and i did.. however it never went through the resolution screen.. anyone know how to tweak resolution in ubuntu studio?
[18:54] <Pici> chrisbard: No. But you may be able to get it to work under Wine.
[18:54] <ampm> sorry i'm running 8.1 and did the sudo apt-get install bluez-utilz aleady as well and still no luck
[18:55] <Pici> ampm: Those instructions are for 7.04 and earlier. Install gnome-bluetooth for 8.10 and check your Applications>Accessories menu
[18:56] <todd> how do I set the image comment on a bunch of files in a bunch of directories?
[18:56] <Dreamglider> calc: testdisk saved the day again ;)

[18:59] <Q-FUNK> I'm trying to help a friend install Intrepid on her desktop.  we get this strange symptom that right after GDM login, we get a black screen with the mouse pointer in the middle and the desktop never appears.
[19:00] <ptn107> Need help.  Added       phil   ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/apt-get     to sudoers file (syntax is correct i did a visudo -c) yet i still get an error 'could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 permission denied)   what else do i have to add to the sudoers file to get this to work?
[19:00] <fdsae> todd: you know how to tweak screen resolution higher?
[19:00] <todd> q-funk: sounds like a bad video profile
[19:00] <fdsae> cause nothing is listed in xorg
[19:00] <tx2650> anyone any experience with building tx2650 driver with latest kernel?
[19:01] <Scunizi> How do you sync Liferea with a google group?  I get an XML parcer error
[19:01] <todd> fdsae: system -> prefs -> screen resolution
[19:01] <kdub> todd: http://www.linux.com/feature/147564
[19:01] <Q-FUNK> todd: the GDM prompt comes as normal.  it's only AFTER logging in that the desktop never comes
[19:01] <fdsae> yeah i know its there but it doesnt go high enough
[19:01] <fdsae> thats what im trying to edit
[19:01] <fdsae> and everything i see online doesnt work
[19:02] <fdsae> basically it says to edit xorg.conf and theres nothing in that file in relation to screen resolution
[19:02] <todd> q-funk: OK I give, never seen it

[19:05] <emorris> hi, i have an extended desktop set on my laptop screen (1280x800) and an external display (1280x1024) on an ATI graphics card. Is it at all possible to have the wallpaper displayed independently on both monitors so it doesn't stretch the image across both screens?

[19:05] <vigo> Q-FUNK: I may have found a solution in the forums,,one moment
[19:05] <Q-FUNK> vigo: ah, the safe mode.   yes, that works.

[19:09] <nbuntu> hey - i have a wierd problem that is hard to replicate but seems to happen really frequently - when i start ubuntu after having been in windows for a day or two,i find that my internet connection does not work.  I'm behind a university network and i noticed that i'm not being assigned my usual ip (153.19.xxx) and instead am given a 192.168.xxxx ip address.  Restarting the network usually does not fix the problem - however the problem seems to fix
[19:09] <nbuntu> itself  after 'some' time.... can anyone tell me what's going on and how to ensure that ubuntu receives and uses the correct ip
[19:09] <oCean_> eoihjrf: have you installed it?
[19:09] <untitled_> maybe number of processes running... to little number it is

[19:10] <BornSlippy> my Ubuntu 1.10 doesn't want to talk to my USB wireless dongle. The driver seems to be correctly installed with ndis but when I plug the USB dongle in absolutely nothing happens. I would be happy to search on the internet for answers but I can't even guess what the problem is.
[19:10] <emorris> untitled_: "An idle computer has a load number of 0 and each process that is using CPU or waiting for CPU adds to the load number by 1. Most UNIX systems count only processes in the running (on CPU) or runnable (waiting for CPU) states. However, Linux also includes processes in uninterruptible sleep states (usually waiting for disk activity), which can lead to markedly different results if many processes are blocked in I/O due to a busy or
[19:10] <emorris>  stalled I/O system. This, for example, includes processes that are blocked due to an NFS server failure or slow media (e.g., USB 1.x storage devices), leading to an elevated load average, which does not reflect an actual increase in CPU use (but still gives an idea on how long you have to wait).
[19:10] <emorris> The load average is calculated as the exponentially damped/weighted moving average of the load number. The three values of load average refer to the past one, five, and fifteen minutes of system operation."

[19:11] <karlo> #xubuntu
[19:11] <Pici> defunct: You can't.  You're not compiling the packages when you're downloading them, you're getting the binaries.
[19:12] <CompuHacker> i.e. precompiled
[19:12] <defunct> Pici. Ahh so I have to compile from source then?
[19:12] <Rioting_Pacifist> BornSlippy: i dont think usb dongles work well, only 9.04 will have good suport AFAIK
[19:12] <defunct> in order to have anything but the default ubuntu install?
[19:12] <nbuntu> ok to rephrase - how to tell ubuntu to renew its ip address - considering  /etc/init.d/networking restart does not seem to work?
[19:12] <BornSlippy> pacifist: sl t
[19:12] <BornSlippy> whoops
[19:13] <Q-FUNK> vigo: right.   removing compiz did not fix it.  we tried already.

[19:13] <x_> i kno this is no the right channel but its really general question.... i forgot wat port i my roomate set up torrents on how to do find out witch port it is
[19:13] <BornSlippy> pacifist: so to make it work it's going to be like early Ubuntu versions and wireless network cards? I still wake up screaming remembering trying to do that a couple of years ago
[19:14] <Pici> BornSlippy: What do you mean by Ubuntu 1.10? Thats not a valid version number.
[19:14] <BornSlippy> err 6.10 sorry
[19:14] <Pici> BornSlippy: 6.10 is no longer supported, sorry.

[19:15] <phantomcircuit> nvm
[19:15] <BornSlippy> pici: I'm sorry, my brain must be melting. I am talking about 8.10

[19:19] <user1> I just tried to ctrl+alt+back to exit gnome then run ratpoison, no dice

[19:20] <vigo> Q-FUNK: here is how the command line works, sorta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1084499&highlight=screen+blank
[19:21] <papapep> ampm: have you tried plugging it to see if it works out of the box????
[19:21] <LjL> ptn107: no but you still have to put "sudo" before "apt-get"....
[19:22] <ptn107> LjL: then whats the point of NOPASSWD?
[19:22] <fdsae> how exactly do i increase my screen resolution?
[19:22] <LjL> ptn107: not asking you for a password, i guess?
[19:22] <fdsae> do i have to tweak some config file or what
[19:22] <ampm> how do i install bluetooth keyboard on version 8.1?

[19:23] <LjL> todd: also, that won't work with files containing spaces
[19:23] <Pici> todd: Why would you use a for loop for that? just do: find . -iname "*.jpg"

[19:24] <spunk> todd "echo $f;" that is...

[19:24] <todd> spunk: ok how do I execute a command for a set of files??? this should be easy right???

[19:28] <Pici> todd: Why won't: find . -iname "*.jpg" -execdir exiftool -comment="text" {};   work?
[19:29] <spunk> LjL, todd: its true about the spaces... If i recall correctly, it should be possible to "config" sh to consider spaces as non-field breaks...
[19:29] <liminal> my alsa sound driver seems to be broken
[19:29] <liminal> since the last update
[19:29] <Ashka> liminal, try PulseAudio
[19:29] <vega> i can't believe eclipse has been the same version since gutsy, apparently it's not maintained at all in ubuntu?
[19:29] <Ashka> or OSS
[19:29] <psyk> Ashka, i tried...oss works, but i want to have sound from more then one app ;)
[19:29] <vega> not a java developers distro i guess..
[19:29] <_VIM_> !latest | vega
[19:29] <Ashka> psyk, and PulseAudio ?
[19:29] <michael__> !backports
[19:29] <liminal> can i use pulseaudio instead of alsa?
[19:30] <vega> _VIM_: err, i don't really think that counts for eclipse..
[19:30] <_VIM_> and why wouldnt it?
[19:30] <BigMoopies> Why is pidgin not kept up to date?
[19:30] <BigMoopies> Or how would I install the latest version
[19:30] <_VIM_> a package is a package
[19:30] <Ashka> psyk, try command pulseaudio
[19:30] <Pici> !latest > BigMoopies
[19:30] <spionlala> BigMoopies, you need to compile it
[19:31] <LjL> Pici: because you need to escape the {} and the ; properly ;)
[19:31] <_VIM_> BigMoopies: maybe there's a !PPA for one that might be newer
[19:31] <ab1sc410> aMSN does not support 640x480 web cam, That's right ?
[19:31] <Pici> LjL: er, \; then
[19:31] <LjL> Pici: and '{}'
[19:31] <liminal> ive tried pulseaudio still doesnt work
[19:31] <vega> _VIM_: this kinda tells it all: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/123064
[19:31] <BigMoopies> _VIM_, "PPA" ?
[19:31] <todd> spunk: I got this so far, still not working http://paste.ubuntu.com/127389/
[19:31] <BigMoopies> !ppa
[19:32] <LjL> Pici: and a space between the two
[19:32] <todd> spunk: I got this so far, still not working http://paste.ubuntu.com/127389/
[19:32] <Ashka> liminal, can you restore before the update ?
[19:32] <Pici> LjL: Okay okay.
[19:32] <_VIM_> BigMoopies: go to that site and search for the package you want
[19:32] <liminal> i dont know how do i do a restore?
[19:32] <spunk> todd: ok, lets see...
[19:32] <vega> _VIM_: stability is not a reason here, the current package has lots of serious bugs
[19:33] <ab1sc410> Hi. Anyone know if aMSN or other messenger client take support for webcam with 640x480 ?
[19:33] <LjL> Pici: and the posix 2.304A standard says you lose, and there's an RFC that says you're wrong unless proven right.
[19:33] <yuri_> what is the easiest method to set up a sock5 server? i need very few options i jst want to bypass firewalls
[19:33] <BigMoopies> _VIM_, "Your search query "pidgin 2.5.5" didn't return any results. Please change some terms and refer "
[19:34] <_VIM_> guess there isnt one then hah?
[19:34] <psyk> Ashka, with pa i hear nothing :(
[19:34] <tobywuk> is it possible to sync iphone content with ubuntu with out jailbreaking it?
[19:34] <Pici> tobywuk: No, sorry.
[19:34] <Ashka> Hmm
[19:34] <Ashka> psyk, try to reboot
[19:34] <dkorzhevin> tobywuk: Yes
[19:34] <tobywuk> so there is a no and a yes :/ lol
[19:34] <BigMoopies> _VIM_, It's not possible to get a list of what they have?
[19:34] <psyk> Ashka, i did allready
[19:34] <tobywuk> if the answer is yes: how, what software does it?
[19:34] <Pici> tobywuk: Well, if there is, its news to me.
[19:35] <Ashka> psyk, ...i don't know
[19:35] <_VIM_> BigMoopies: searching for pidgin would show all the packages on that ppa site if there are any.
[19:35] <Ashka> I already have this problem
[19:35] <tobywuk> Pici, thanks :)
[19:35] <Ashka> I rebooted and all is ok
[19:35] <liminal> is there an automatic restore point made by ubuntu?
[19:35] <Pici> liminal: Nope.
[19:35] <Ashka> liminal, i dont know
[19:35] <psyk> Ashka, is it possible to get a clue why the device couldnt be opened?
[19:35] <liminal> i cant restorethen
[19:35] <spunk> todd: so, to recap, your problem is the handling of filenames with spaces right?
[19:35] <BigMoopies> _VIM_, I searched for xchat, xmms, and pidgin .  All with no results
[19:35] <_VIM_> BigMoopies: if you're just searching for packages that are already included in ubuntu try packages.ubuntu.com
[19:36] <Ashka> psyk, go to Sound preferences
[19:36] <shawger> liminal: ubuntu does not have a windows-like restore feature
[19:36] <ab1sc410_> #hack
[19:36] <Ashka> And click Try
[19:36] <Pici> Ashka: If you don't know the answer to a question, just don't answer.  We'd have a lot more traffic in here if everyone said 'i don't know' to questions they didn't know the answer to.
[19:36] <Ashka> Pici, okay
[19:36] <Ashka> But
[19:36] <todd> spunk: yep, trying to bulk retag files so its more of a exiftool problem, works one file at a time though
[19:37] <Ashka> psyk, Click try, and if ubuntu can't play the test sound, Ubuntu say a error message
[19:37] <zilleplus> annyone has skype and wanna explane to me how to set a domain name????
[19:38] <zilleplus> annyone has skype and wanna explane to me how to set a domain name????
[19:38] <spunk> todd, LjL: ok... bash (sh) has a special variable called "IFS" -- Internal Field Separator. IFS can be used to control how bash/sh splits strings internally with respect to spaces.
[19:38] <todd> spunk: um ok...???
[19:38] <spunk> todd, LjL: do a "man sh" and search for "IFS".
[19:39] <spunk> todd, LjL: apparently, if you set IFS to null, bash/sh will not do any string splitting due to any characters.
[19:40] <mestopholeese> I have a problem with a proxy setting.  It does not go away when I unset it. Can anyone help?
[19:40] <todd> spunk so for f in $(find . | grep \.jpg) dose not work as you would expect
[19:40] <spunk> todd, LjL: try this at the beginning of your script: IFS=""
[19:40] <zilleplus> annyone has skype and wanna explane to me how to set a domain name????
[19:40] <_VIM_> !anyone | zilleplus
[19:41] <ampm> how do i install a bluetooth keyboard on version 8.1 all other posts i have read do not work
[19:41] <NativeAngels> when setting up a virtual host in apache do you use your publicip or localip ?
[19:41] <vigo> zilleplus: http://www.icann.org/ <<<that explains it
[19:42] <ross> i have a cd in my cdrom drive and I cannot run it
[19:42] <ross> what is the command for starting up a cd
[19:42] <shawger> ross: what kind of cd? audio? data?
[19:42] <ross> shawger: data
[19:42] <shawger> ross: ubuntu should mount it automatically
[19:43] <ross> shawger: it doesn't
[19:43] <Ashka> ross, sudomount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o force
[19:43] <CompuHacker> What OS is the data for?
[19:43] <vigo> ross: is it mounted?
[19:43] <Ashka> *sudo mount
[19:43] <spunk> todd, LjL: I did some tests. If I put IFS= at the top of the script it works for me... Note! just type "IFS=" at the beginning, nothing should go after the equal sign.
[19:43] <CompuHacker> Or is it simply files?
[19:43] <ross> what is mounting?
[19:43] <SEVILLA> hey im new to ubuntu and vbox and im having problems with access to my host usb from vbox can anyone help me i tried #vbox but i got no  help
[19:43] <korg_> ross: mount <dev> <mount_point>
[19:43] <ampm> what is the command for connecting a bluetooth keyboard to version 8.1?
[19:43] <shawger> ross: go to places->Computer. Its not there?
[19:43] <korg_> SEVILLA: use shared folders
[19:44] <SEVILLA> korg_: tried that
[19:44] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: did you get the Sun's vbox or the virtualbox-ose? from what i understand, the ose does not support USB
[19:44] <todd> spunk: OK I am not sure take a look at... http://paste.ubuntu.com/127399/
[19:44] <ross> it says that i cannot find auto run program
[19:44] <ross> i dont' understand
[19:44] <spunk> todd, LjL: wait a minute. Don't you have to return to the base directory also?
[19:44] <todd> spunk: I think the CD is broken
[19:44] <lasivian> I have a working 8.10 EXT2 install, I want to encrypt my HD, how should I go about doing this please? thanks
[19:44] <zilleplus> does anyone has skype and wanna explane to me how to set a domain name????
[19:44] <tdn> I have some files with filenames in some strange encoding. Is there a program that can "guess" which encoding it is? I want to convmv them to utf8.
[19:45] <todd> spunk: ah very true
[19:45] <spunk> todd, exactly. You gave to return to the "base" directory. Let's store that one in a variable. like "BASE=`pwd`. and then do a cd "$BASE"
[19:45] <shawger> ross: what happens when you go to Places->Computer and try to open the CD drive from there?
[19:45] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: yes i saw that but sure  i have optins for the vbox though
[19:46] <spunk> todd: after you've done the exif-thing that is...
[19:46] <ross> shawger: it says it cannot find the autorun software
[19:46] <vega> tdn: "file" might say something about it
[19:46] <ross> shawger: should I try to open it with other applications?
[19:46] <ross> shawger: and what is mounting?
[19:46] <pato> oi
[19:46] <pato> dfjdkfs
[19:46] <tdn> vega, nope. File only tells me about the *contents* of a file. I am talking about the file names.
[19:46] <shawger> ross: mounting just lets you access the content on the cd
[19:46] <spunk> todd: so, are you getting the drift? put the pwd-stuff before the loop and then put the CD "$BASE" after the exif-stuff.
[19:46] <vega> tdn: ah
[19:46] <ross> shawger: thank you
[19:46] <ross> shawger: but it's not running
[19:47] <spunk> todd: you still need to do the "IFS="
[19:47] <shawger> ross: can you just open it with the file manager?
[19:47] <shawger> ross: are you trying to run an application off of it?
[19:47] <ross> shawger: how do i do that
[19:47] <ross> shawger: there are application that i need to install, this cd comes with the mobo
[19:47] <shawger> ross: its probably for windows then
[19:47] <ross> shawger: i need to install drivers and such
[19:47] <rokr1> hello guys
[19:47] <ross> shawger: you're probably right, i did not think of that
[19:47] <shawger> ross: no you probably don't need to install these drivers if you're using ubuntu
[19:47] <ross> shawger: then what can i do?
[19:47] <todd> spunk: arrgh! I thought we had it there... http://paste.ubuntu.com/127401/
[19:48] <shawger> ross: you probably don't need to do anything...
[19:48] <spunk> todd: lets see...
[19:48] <rokr1> can is there any solution for GUI network login in UBUNTU
[19:48] <rokr1> ??
[19:48] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: k i checked i have vbox
[19:48] <ross> shawger: how come?
[19:48] <shawger> ross: is there some hardware on your computer that isn't working?
[19:48] <ross> shawger: the audio seems a little off
[19:48] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: ose? or suns?
[19:48] <ross> shawger: it's working
[19:48] <vigo> lasivian: Try GNU-PG?
[19:48] <orudie> hi question. I installed roundcube webmail client a few weeks ago, how can i now find out which version i installed
[19:48] <shawger> ross: ubuntu comes with a lot of drivers and can usually autodetect everything
[19:48] <ross> shawger: but it's not lound
[19:48] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: suns
[19:48] <ross> shawger: ah
[19:48] <ross> shawger: also
[19:48] <spunk> todd: change IFS="" to IFS=
[19:49] <ross> shawger: how can i go about installing virtualbox
[19:49] <spunk> todd: that is, don't put anything after the equal sign.
[19:49] <ross> shawger: i would like to be able to access windows partition from here
[19:49] <todd> spunk: done, no joy
[19:49] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: suns xvm
[19:49] <spunk> todd: ok...
[19:49] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: ok it should support most usb devices then, what are you trying to hook up exactly?
[19:49] <shawger> ross: you don't need virtualbox to do that
[19:49] <ross> shawger: how can i access another OS?
[19:50] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: xvm? is this on windows? if so you should ask in ##windows or #vbox
[19:50] <shawger> ross: what do you mean by access windows?
[19:50] <shawger> ross: as in files on a windows partition, or you want to run windows programs?
[19:50] <ross> shawger: i would like to allocate certain HD space to windows
[19:50] <spunk> todd: im still looking. hang on. :-)
[19:50] <shawger> ross: do you have a dual-boot setup currently?
[19:51] <todd> spunk: cool thanks man!
[19:51] <ross> shawger: no i do not
[19:51] <shawger> ross: do you want to dual-boot, or run windows in a virtualized environment?
[19:51] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: no my host is 8.04 and i have 8.10 on a box and i want to access a lexmar usb on my host
[19:51] <ross> shawger: but i believe i can install windows through virtual box
[19:51] <shawger> ross: yes you can
[19:51] <ross> shawger: does it matter?
[19:51] <ross> shawger: i mean, what is the better optoin
[19:51] <shawger> ross: virtualbox is synaptic
[19:51] <spunk> todd: try IFS="\n"
[19:51] <ross> shawger: also, my computer does not detect the windows cd for some reason
[19:52] <shawger> ross: virtualbox will let you run both linux and windows at the same time, but it will be a little slower than if you dual boot
[19:52] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: does the lexmar usually work ok in ubuntu?
[19:52] <shawger> ross: the advantage is mainly convenience
[19:52] <psyk> Ashka, i gues i come closer to the problem.. the soundcard is not listed at .. asoundconf list
[19:52] <todd> spunk nope
[19:52] <ross> shawger: ok
[19:52] <_VIM_> lexmark*
[19:52] <ross> shawger: do you have any idea why my desktop is not detecting my windows cd?
[19:52] <Ashka> psyk, wow
[19:52] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: yes i use it all the time with my host hardy
[19:52] <orudie> hi question. I installed roundcube webmail client a few weeks ago, how can i now find out which version i installed
[19:52] <kernelpannik> also, the official less-free version of vbox (NOT the one in the repos) supports USB devices, among other things, which the OSE version does not
[19:53] <Ashka> psyk, Are you sure your soundcard is functionnal ?
[19:53] <shawger> ross: what do you mean it isn't detecting it? does it not show up anywhere?
[19:53] <ross> shawger: it doesn't
[19:53] <kernelpannik> @orudie, did you install it with apt?
[19:53] <ross> shawger: unlike the ubuntu cd
[19:53] <psyk> yes :D with oss i have sount on it ;)
[19:53] <orudie> kernelpannik, yes
[19:53] <ross> shawger: the cdrom drive doesn't detect it when it starts and i don't understand why
[19:53] <ross> can you tell me?
[19:53] <qcjn> my http://qcjn.no-ip.org:81/ would there be a way that the redirection of my no-ip include :81
[19:53] <todd> spunk: if I cd and do the exiftool -comment="Property of The MRA" file.jpg it works
[19:53] <ross> shawger: brb in a minute or two
[19:54] <shawger> ross: you are trying to open this cd from within ubuntu, right?
[19:54] <kernelpannik> @orudie, aptitude show PACKAGENAME, such as aptitude show roundcube
[19:54] <ross> shawger: no when i boot up
[19:54] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: could it just be my usb
[19:54] <ross> shawger: the desktop does not recognize it
[19:54] <kernelpannik> ...or whatever it is, anyway, version numbers will be in there
[19:54] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: na not if it works in ubuntu without vbox
[19:54] <shawger> ross: you are trying to boot off this cd in order to install windows?
[19:54] <spunk> todd: ok... I'm still struggling with setting IFS to the proper value. using IFS= just gives all file names a one single string...
[19:54] <shawger> ross: if you use virtualbox, you install windows from *within* linux
[19:55] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: sounds like a setting is not set correctly or a bug with xvm
[19:55] <shawger> ross: as in you start a virtualbox session and then use that to install windows
[19:55] <cactusfrog> hi
[19:55] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: its weird i enabled on my guest and i can see it in the gui on the bottom but its greyd out
[19:55] <cactusfrog> how much does a GUI slow down a server
[19:55] <cactusfrog> ?
[19:55] <kernelpannik> @orudie, make sense?
[19:56] <todd> spunk: to test put a jpg in a sub dir, and run, should just work for you too right?
[19:56] <orudie> kernelpannik, yes
[19:56] <cactusfrog> anyone know
[19:56] <kernelpannik> cook
[19:56] <cactusfrog> because my freind told me to get server adition but i am not sure if its the best
[19:56] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: i will keep trying thanks though
[19:57] <Slart> cactusfrog: it won't slow you down anything.. might take a little more memory though
[19:57] <kernelpannik> @cactusfrog, if ur not sure, you prolly dont need the X-less version ;)
[19:57] <cactusfrog> but if i have 4 gigs
[19:57] <Legumebo_Magezfe> hey can somebody help me disable hardware acceleration on a dell dimension 2400 w/ intel integrated extreme graphics card? I'm really new to linux and am trying to fix a choppy video playback problem
[19:57] <cactusfrog> it will be fine right
[19:57] <Slart> cactusfrog: I don't think you'll notice a difference
[19:57] <cactusfrog> ok
[19:57] <brutus> what should I enter for the video card bus location in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[19:57] <Slart> cactusfrog: why not try xubuntu if you're worried about performance
[19:57] <_VIM_> SEVILLA: I'd ask in #vbox, I know you said they didnt answer you, but just be patient :)
[19:58] <renatosrabelo> hi guys . i have a problem . im trying to connect a nokia n95 as a webcam via smartacam app . with ubuntu . have anyone  tryied this out ?
[19:58] <spunk> todd: think I solved it. The solution looks a bit odd, but I think it is consistent: write IFS=" on one line, and on the following, put a single "
[19:58] <shawger> ross: sorry I have to go
[19:58] <SEVILLA> _VIM_: k :)
[19:58] <spunk> todd: that way we are able to put a new line character into IFS, telling bash to break strings at new line characters.
[19:58] <Guest69598> hey guys
[19:58] <cactusfrog> i am not worried about preoformance
[19:58] <cactusfrog> i am hosting a q3 server
[19:59] <cactusfrog> on a 64bit dule core computer with 4 gigs
[19:59] <ross> shawger: ah thank you anyways
[19:59] <todd> spunk: whew!!! I am going to go post a big ass blog about that! lol
[19:59] <spunk> todd: did it work? :-)
[20:00] <Guest69598> who here works as a developer
[20:00] <todd> spunk: yes and it makes total sense... a bit odd but I get it
[20:00] <spunk> todd: nice! what is your blogg URL? ;-)
[20:01] <Slart> Guest69598: why not just ask your question.. the real one
[20:01] <njk123> hi all
[20:01] <_VIM_> Guest69598: just ask your question, do not try to seek out the "pros" in here
[20:01] <_VIM_> slart get out of my head ok?
[20:01] <_VIM_> ;)
[20:01] <njk123> i am getting pissed off with the wired network problem in ubuntu. what to do?

[20:02] <spunk> todd: ok, I'll read it. You're welcome, I'm glad I could help.
[20:02] <Slart> SandGorgon: droid? got a link? or are they in the repos?
[20:02] <renatosrabelo> Has anyone tried to connect a nokia n95 as a webcam via smartcam  in ubuntu?
[20:02] <njk123> thinking of reluctantly installing opensuse
[20:02] <njk123> please tell me a solution guys
[20:02] <root> hulloa!!
[20:02] <Guest69598> ok sorry about asking guys, when using the "screen" terminal multiplexor and dettaching an application to be reattached later, is there a way to foward the graphical front end so you can resume it later, as it stands now you can only resume terminal based applications
[20:02] <Legumebo_Magezfe> anyone know how to disable hardware acceleration ? w/ knoppix perhaps?
[20:02] <brutus> why amn't I able to change use the nvidia-glx-new driver even after I've installed it?
[20:03] <joinAD> Anybody familiar with joining Ubuntu to a Active Directory domain?
[20:03] <SandGorgon> Slart: Droid font is in the Android repo. The link is on the wikipedia page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_(font)>
[20:04] <Pici> Legumebo_Magezfe: Please ask in #knoppix, this is the Ubuntu support channel.
[20:04] <Legumebo_Magezfe> i was just wondering if there was any way
[20:04] <brutus> I'm not able to use the nvidia card even after I've installed the nvidia-glx-new driver...what's wrong?
[20:04] <Legumebo_Magezfe> I'm not really familiarr w/ all this
[20:05] <Legumebo_Magezfe> I was just wondering if there was an easy way to do it
[20:05] <tomeff> hi
[20:05] <joinAD> with joining a AD domain Legumebo?
[20:05] <Guest69598> hmmm guess not
[20:05] <Legumebo_Magezfe> ?
[20:05] <Pici> Legumebo_Magezfe: If you're asking about Knoppix, we aren't going to know. /join #knoppix
[20:05] <joinAD> sry... to much spam in this channel
[20:06] <Legumebo_Magezfe> well I'm just trying to figure out this video playback problem. its really choppy and there are horizontal lines... anyone know anything about that? I have all the codecs required
[20:06] <andybond13> anyone, I'm having a problem where my login screen shows text, instead of the usual bar loading graphic, why?
[20:06] <Pici> Legumebo_Magezfe: What operating system are you running?
[20:07] <Legumebo_Magezfe> ubuntu intrepid
[20:07] <joinAD> have u tried playing with VLC player Legumebo?
[20:07] <ZykoticK9> Guest69598, i'm certainly not aware of anyway to tie screen into gui apps - was hoping someone had the answer though...  but i don't think it's possible.  i think VNC might maintain your apps even when your not connected???
[20:07] <Legumebo_Magezfe> yup
[20:07] <Legumebo_Magezfe> doesnt play internet vids well either
[20:07] <Shootdown> hi
[20:07] <Shootdown> does anyone know why is +auto.master entry at /etc/auto.master file for ?
[20:07] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: have you tried experimenting with your video player(s) video output options yet to see if that cimproves things ?
[20:08] <meho_r> andybond13: wrong vga settings maybe
[20:08] <Guest69598> ZykoticK9: yeah i've been told just to use VNC but that seems like an aweful lot just for a single app
[20:08] <ninom> Hello everyone! I am having problems with my soundcard and how to setup preferences for it etc. I have no sound at all. My sound card is creative labs x fi
[20:08] <Legumebo_Magezfe> yes I've tried that. Is there any specific setting I should modify?
[20:08] <Guest65378> « Un saluto a tutto il canale! »
[20:08] <Guest65378> 1
[20:08] <Guest65378> list!
[20:08] <Pici> !it | Guest65378
[20:08] <Slart> SandGorgon: ah.. pretty nice.. a little larger than other alternatives.. but still nice
[20:08] <Rencx> can i use gpartet to shrik hard disk and make one for windows?
[20:08] <bonobo> hey there, i need to desactivate the update function, how do i do that
[20:08] <bonobo> ?
[20:09] <Slart> Guest65378: no file servers here.. think you might be on the wrong server altogheter for that
[20:09] <jrib> bonobo: be more specific
[20:09] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: not really, usually xv or opengl vieo output modes work ok .. just a thought sorry
[20:09] <bonobo> i do not want my system to update, plain and simle
[20:09] <Slart> bonobo: system, administration, software sources..
[20:10] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16:so would that be in vlc prefs?
[20:10] <jrib> bonobo: it doesn't update unless you tell it to.  But it's a bad idea anyway.  You should at least install security updates
[20:10] <Slart> bonobo: listen to jrib.. he speaks wise words..
[20:10] <sxxs> hi
[20:10] <sxxs> hi ,every body
[20:10] <ninom> problem no sound. sound card is creative labs x fi. system find the card but no sound at all. maybe preferences?
[20:10] <ulamSpiral> hello
[20:11] <Slart> nimrood: I think the problem is that it's a "creative labs x fi", period
[20:11] <Slart> sorry nimrood
[20:11] <ninom> how about delta 66 i have this card too.
[20:11] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16: yeah its been in open Gl and im running it in xv now and theres no difference
[20:11] <ninom> but it doesnt work
[20:11] <Rencx> can i use gpartet to shrink hard disk and make one for windows?
[20:11] <Slart> ninom: : I think the problem is that it's a "creative labs x fi", period
[20:11] <ninom> m-audio delta 66
[20:11] <bonobo> actually my connection is so slow that i can't fathom how anybody can hack into my system, provided that they can find me !
[20:11] <Slart> nimrood: I don't know about that card.. never used it
[20:11] <quibbler> bonobo: software sources uncheck updates......as has been said this is a bad idea
[20:12] <andybond13> anyone, I'm having a problem where my pre-login loading screen shows text, instead of the usual bar loading graphic, why?
[20:12] <ulamSpiral> another quick screen question, are verticle aplits possible
[20:12] <bonobo> already done, thanks
[20:12] <ulamSpiral> splits*
[20:12] <ninom> well i have delta 66 m-audio when i had 8.04 it used to work now on 8.10 it doesnt ?>
[20:12] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16: my friend said he had the same problem and to disable hardware acceleration but ive been trying to figure out how to do that all day w/ noi luck... I'm new to linux btw
[20:12] <Slart> nimrood: last I checked there were some oss drivers for the x-fi card.. don't know how far along those are or if there are alsa support now.. it was bad some time ago
[20:12] <ninom> how do i download those
[20:12] <ninom> i tried google
[20:13] <Slart> ninom: I have no idea.. I use an audigy2 myself
[20:13] <Rencx> Slart: hi, can u help me?
[20:13] <Slart> Rencx: well.. I can't really say until you tell me what's wrong
[20:13] <bonobo> if that happened to be a bad idea, be sure that i will cry for some advice to restore my system, in the meantime i thank you for the quick answer
[20:13] <Slart> Rencx: but I'll give it a try
[20:13] <bonobo> ;-p
[20:13] <ZykoticK9> andybond13, the screen you are referring to is called usplash - did you try to install a usplash screen (intrepid uses a different version of usplash and the old themes don't work with it, and will give you just the text screen if installed)...  good luck
[20:13] <bonobo> have a good day all
[20:13] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: no worries, linux is so broad that everyone is new to some parts of tit .. disabling hardware acceleration is done in /etc/X11/xorg.conf i think, never done it so not really a clue
[20:13] <Rencx> Slart: i want install windows can i shrink ne hard disk to make new one?
[20:13] <SandGorgon> Slart: i think it is better than most of the default alternatives there are . I wouldnt mind Droid being the default on Ubuntu - it was designed to be readable even on small screen devices
[20:14] <Slart> Rencx: probably.. gparted can shrink some file systems.. depending on what kind
[20:14] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16: so my xorg.conf seems to not have hardly any info in it... is this normal for intrepid?
[20:14] <meho_r> andybond13: try adding to line at GRUB when booting: vga=791
[20:15] <Slart> Rencx: if you start gnome partition editor there is a "features" menu option.. there you can see what it can do to which file systems
[20:15] <Rencx> Slart: now i have ext3
[20:15] <Getty> can someone please explain to me why if [ "${MODULEBUILDRC}" == "" ]; then
[20:15] <Slart> Rencx: well.. open up gparted and click "show features" and see if it can shrink ext3
[20:15] <Getty> doesnt work on an ubuntu?
[20:16] <ulamSpiral> how does openSolaris fair in comparison to Ubuntu, I'm thinking to throwing it on a spare machine
[20:16] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: it's typical for the newer version of Xorg server yes, it's meant to be like that to enable 'hotplugging' devices without mangling config files
[20:16] <rabbit_ubuntu> Hey guys
[20:16] <jrib> Getty: be more specific
[20:16] <rabbit_ubuntu> Im having trouble getting Windows XP to pick up my USB device. Im using Vbox
[20:16] <rabbit_ubuntu> Can anyone assist?
[20:17] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16: oic. um, do you know how I might be able to edit xorg.conf then?
[20:17] <Slart> rabbit_ubuntu: are you using the OSE version?
[20:17] <ninom> downloaded driver for linux for creative labs x fi. how to install driver
[20:17] <Getty> jrib: i got it... /bin/sh isnt /bin/bash on ubuntu...
[20:17] <rabbit_ubuntu> Umm...
[20:17] <rabbit_ubuntu> I dont know...
[20:17] <rabbit_ubuntu> I dont belive so though
[20:17] <ZykoticK9> ulamSpiral, it's very different.  doesn't have nearly the hardware or software support that Ubuntu does, for a desktop they are night and day.  you pretty much have to have a compelling reason to choose Solaris over Ubuntu...
[20:17] <Slart> ninom: read the documentation that was available where you got the drivers
[20:17] <rabbit_ubuntu> @Slart:
[20:17] <Slart> rabbit_ubuntu: did you install it from the repos?
[20:17] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart: Yes I ma
[20:17] <coder__> Am is supposed to just ask my question here? (this is my first time on Ubuntu IRC)
[20:17] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart:Am*
[20:17] <Rencx> Slart: can i resize /home partition?
[20:18] <mestopholeese_> coder__: yes.
[20:18] <Slart> rabbit_ubuntu: because the OSE version doesn't support usb.. you'll have to get the non-free version if you want usb support
[20:18] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: try doing a websearch on your graphics card model/type + disable hardware acceleration + ubuntu is about my best advice on thi i'm afraid
[20:18] <coder__> ok
[20:18] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart: Oh....
[20:18] <ulamSpiral> ZykoticK9: It not really choosing one over the other for me, I'm an expirenced ubuntu user and I have a few extra machines lying around, I figured it would be fun to play with Dtrace and the ZFS
[20:18] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart: How do I get that? And how much is it?
[20:18] <brutus> help! I cannot enable visual effects
[20:18] <Slart> Rencx: if you boot from a live cd and you can find a tool that can resize it.. sure.. don't do it on a live system while you're running it
[20:18] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: the actual editing of the xorg.conf file in question is simpler, if you need help on that, give a shout
[20:19] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart: Does the OSE version support CD drives?
[20:19] <Slart> rabbit_ubuntu: it's free.. (as in beer).. you can download it from their site.
[20:19] <rabbit_ubuntu> Oh
[20:19] <ZykoticK9> ulamSpiral, ok - just making sure you weren't a desktop user...  Solaris is "fun" to play with -- but this whole discussion is very OT, good luck man
[20:19] <coder__> On my Ubuntu (Acer Aspire One, 8.10), I have had a good overall experience, however: Sometimes my wireless just stops working suddenly. The message when I try to forcibly re-enable the wireless module from the command line is as follows: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable"
[20:19] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16: ok will do... is there any gui in ubuntu or terminal prompt that I could find  the model type? all i could find was intel integrated extreme graphics card but i think i need more into than that
[20:19] <coder__> Why won't it enable at those times?
[20:19] <Slart> rabbit_ubuntu: I think so.. not sure though
[20:20] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart: So what do I do to get that done? Remove my current Vbox? And then get the non free? Is there a code I could put in the terminal to get the nonfree version? Or is synaptic the way?
[20:20] <Doc`> ><
[20:20] <brutus> Mud|afk, could you please help me out with editing xorg.conf- my comp is refusing to use my graphics card. Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m1d0a3278
[20:20] <Slart> rabbit_ubuntu: uninstall the OSE version.. (sudo apt-get remove or use synaptic).. then download and install the other version.. I think there is a version available for ubuntu
[20:20] <ZykoticK9> rabbit_ubuntu, see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads for repos of Sun's verions of VBox
[20:20] <kasya> hi
[20:20] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: if you're looking for a GUI, sudo apt-get install glshw (a GUI for lshw, which lists all available hardware in your system with loads of info
[20:20] <quibbler> rabbit_ubuntu: remove the current vbox then download from here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[20:21] <kasya> i need help with running Multicliclker on Ubuntu
[20:21] <coder__> On my Ubuntu (Acer Aspire One, 8.10), I have had a good overall experience, however: Sometimes my wireless just stops working suddenly. The message when I try to forcibly re-enable the wireless module from the command line is as follows: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable" Why won't it enable at times like this?
[20:21] <rabbit_ubuntu> Slart: Alright, thanks. Will be back if any problems
[20:21] <Rencx> Slart: is it easyer to make new and clean install with Ubuntu and Windows?
[20:21] <brutus> glitsj16, could you please help me out with editing xorg.conf- my comp is refusing to use my graphics card. Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m1d0a3278
[20:22] <kasya> can somebody help me to install and run Multiclicker on Ubuntu?
[20:22] <Rencx> Slart: and is it better?
[20:22] <Legumebo_Magezfe> couldnt find package glshw?
[20:22] <njk123> hi all
[20:22] <Slart> Rencx: that would depend on how much stuff you have got to reinstall.. just shrinking a partition won't take very long, I think
[20:22] <glitsj16> brutus: one moment please, having to correct something i directed at Legumebo_Magezfe
[20:22] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: my bad, sudo apt-get install lshw-gtk
[20:23] <kasya> how to run Multiclicker on Ubuntu?
[20:23] <kasya> help me
[20:23] <brutus> glitsj16, no problemo...waiting :)
[20:23] <mestopholeese_> coder__: Do you know what version your Kernel is?
[20:23] <coder__> one sec
[20:23] <njk123> windows(desktop) shows that linux(lappy) got connected, i can even setup <IP_ADDRESS> for lappy but still they both cant ping each other
[20:24] <Legumebo_Magezfe> glitsj16: ok it totally worked this time. Thats all I need for now, thank you so much for all the help!
[20:24] <kasya> is somebody here using Multiclicker?
[20:24] <glitsj16> brutus: okay, o, did i mention that i'm far from an expert on xorg ? but i'll hve a look and report back
[20:24] <njk123> also when i keep same ip address for both comps. windows shows ip conflict, which means there is connectivity only thing ubuntu is having some problem
[20:24] <glitsj16> Legumebo_Magezfe: very welcome, hope you get some nice hits websearching to solve the issue
[20:24] <Slart> kasya: after googling for it, I doubt it
[20:24] <coder__> mestopholeese: I am using 2.6.27-11-generic
[20:24] <njk123> this suddenly happened after some updates, plz help
[20:25] <njk123> i am using 2.6.28-7
[20:25] <brutus> glitsj16, please help in whatever way you can- this has been bugging me for ages... :(
[20:25] <mestopholeese_> coder:  There is a bug with that kernel, and your network card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#Install%20Ubuntu%20Intrepid%20Ibex%208.10%20on%20the%20Acer%20Aspire%20One
[20:25] <AngryElf> so since the map laptops are all intel/nvidia does ubuntu run pretty well on them?
[20:25] <oomkiller> hey can anyone help me with my routing issues on ipv6
[20:25] <kasya> damn Multiclicker
[20:26] <oomkiller> i have it working fine from the router (ubuntu box)
[20:26] <oomkiller> but when a machine in the lan tries to forward through it, it doesnt work
[20:26] <glitsj16> brutus: ok, i understand the frustration, had the same issues at first getting graphics working, i'm going over your paste, give me a few minutes
[20:26] <shifty5> am i the only one having a problem with firefox after todays update?
[20:26] <mestopholeese_> coder__: It says to roll back to an earlier Kernel.
[20:26] <oomkiller> and the firewall is set to accept forwards by default
[20:26] <Slart> shifty5: no problems here
[20:26] <njk123> plz help me, my two comps and one with just one internet line :(
[20:26] <failers> how do i update 8.10 to jaunty
[20:27] <njk123> are*
[20:27] <coder__> mestopholeese_: ok, I've got other kernels on my GRUB screen.
[20:27] <Slart> !jaunty | failers
[20:27] <brutus> glitsj16, sure
[20:27] <coder__> mestopholeese_: I'll try those.
[20:27] <coder__> mestopholeese_: Thanks.
[20:27] <failers> Slart yes i know that but since im in 8.10 shouldnt i be asking here :P?
[20:27] <shifty5> slart, mine is like causeing the screen to flash and no title bar, weird
[20:28] <Slart> failers: I don't know how to upgrade =).. but I guess the people in #ubuntu+1 might.. just guessing they must get that question often
[20:28] <oomkiller> the sysctl is setup to enable forwarding too
[20:28] <failers> Slart ok :)
[20:28] <Slart> !upgrade | failers
[20:28] <Slart> failers: not sure if there is anything there about jaunty..
[20:28] <rampage73> picture recovery question , i have ubuntu 7.10 it does see my camera kodak easyshare c633 , it asks if i want to import (so gthumb sees it) but i cannot figure out where it lives to use dd to image it dmesg is not showing the device other than new usb device any ideas hints
[20:28] <rampage73> ?
[20:29] <failers> slart ok thanks will check if there is
[20:29] <coder__> Ex-Chat
[20:30] <njk123> windows(desktop) shows that linux(lappy) got connected, i can even setup <IP_ADDRESS> for lappy but still they both cant ping each other. also when i keep same ip address for both comps. windows shows ip conflict, which means there is connectivity only thing ubuntu is having some problem. this suddenly happened after some updates, plz help
[20:30] <Scunizi> rampage73: look in /media for a reference.. it should also show up in Places --> Computer
[20:30] <glitsj16> brutus: the newer versions of X try to generate as much info on your system without using xorg.conf ... if you are willing to give that a try, i would suggest you move your present xorg.conf out of the way for a moment (sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup) and restart your X server ... i'll be able to provie a command if i know what display manager you use, like gdm (gnome) or kdm (kde) ... do you know ?
[20:31] <rampage73> oh yea tried that sorry forgot to mention it does not show up yet i can import the photos that are present on it now
[20:31] <brutus> glitsj16, I use gnome...
[20:31] <rampage73> ubuntu just automagically recognizes it
[20:31] <rampage73> good tip though thanks Scunizi
[20:32] <Scunizi> rampage73: I have that issue with a nikon of mine.. never figured it out so I just bought a card reader :(
[20:32] <brutus> glitsj16, so I should mv the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup and restart xserver?
[20:32] <glitsj16> brutus: okay, so after moving your xorg.conf using the command mentioned, run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" to restart X, that will log you out, login again to see if it did anything useful
[20:32] <rampage73> sadly what i need to access is not on the card but the camera internal memory thanks anyway Scunizi
[20:33] <Scunizi> rampage73: you might look at the mount command
[20:33] <ninom> can anyone tell me how to do this "execute make command as root"
[20:33] <brandonban6> !backup
[20:33] <rampage73> thought i was just missing something has me stumped guess i might have to try windows :(
[20:33] <brutus> glitsj16, I'll brb after restarting X
[20:33] <glitsj16> ninom: use "sudo make"
[20:34] <glitsj16> brutus: deal, goodluck
[20:34] <nullstring> so, my xorg.conf is blank.. how do I get what should be in there..
[20:34] <ninom> glitsj16 this is creative labs driver. it tells me execute make command as root, than make, than make install
[20:34] <nullstring> configuring all that by hand sounds like pain
[20:34] <Raylz> hi, anyone managed to decrypt a pgp decrypted msg from thunderbird properly in evolution?
[20:34] <Scunizi> rampage73: have you looked at the info when doing lsusb or dmesg to see where it might be mounting to?
[20:34] <brandonban6> !cloning
[20:35] <ninom> glitsj16 thanks
[20:35] <brandonban6> !sbackup
[20:35] <brutus> glitsj16, hmm...i tried changing desktop effects...no luck...
[20:36] <brutus> glitsj16, btw I'm running Gutsy ubuntu so it might not be the latest version of X
[20:36] <rampage73> this is all i get

[20:36] <Guest71750> Can anyone help with some scripting? I have a for loop: for part in /dev/[hs]d[a-z][0-9]; do; <run partimage>; done.  This rolls through all the partitions on the computer and backs them up with partimage. I'd like to include the partition name in the image filenames (ie "sda1") but right now $part has /dev/sda1. Is there a way to populate a variable with only the "sda1" part of the $part...
[20:36] <Guest71750> ...variable?
[20:36] <Scunizi> rampage73: looks like it's on hcd
[20:37] <xun911> hi, my laptop's default brightness is always very dim when it boots or wakes up until I manually change it. how can I change the default brightness on it?
[20:37] <Scunizi> rampage73: oops. that's not the address
[20:37] <glitsj16> brutus: okay, you can move your backup copy of xorg.conf back to it's original state first perhaps --> sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... so i get some time to think what to try next :)
[20:37] <rampage73> Scunizi, you had me there for a minute i was looking for a /dev/hcd
[20:37] <rampage73> i did not have one of course
[20:38] <Vlet> How could I go about running a process via screen as my user automatically on system boot?
[20:39] <CentHOGG> hi, I cannot get mdadm to boot "mdadm: no devices found in conf"
[20:39] <jrib> Vlet: use su
[20:39] <rampage73> Scunizi, this is the output of lsusb Bus 002 Device 007: ID 040a:05ba Kodak Co.
[20:39] <jrib> Vlet: and /etc/rc.local
[20:39] <brutus> glitsj16, done... :)...btw "screens and graphics" in System->Administration shows that I'm using the vesa driver whereas I should be using nvidia-glx-new....how do I fix this?
[20:39] <Drknezz> brutus, install the driver yourself then
[20:39] <Vlet> jrib: ahh yeah, thankya!
[20:39] <glitsj16> brutus: aha, you will need to install that driver if you haven't
[20:39] <brutus> Drknezz, I already have installed nvidia-glx-new
[20:40] <Scunizi> rampage73: yea.. it would have been /dev/hdc actually if it was correct.. did you look at dmesg?
[20:40] <Drknezz> brutus, run "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
[20:40] <brutus> glitsj16, , I already have installed nvidia-glx-new
[20:41] <brutus> Drknezz, I tried that too...but it screws up bigtime and the next tiem I reboot I can't increase resolution more than 800*600
[20:41] <glitsj16> brutus: odd though, i thought your original paste of xorg.conf mentioned nvidia already instead of vesa, re-checking that
[20:41] <rampage73> Scunizi, that is where i got this **[ 2234.752000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
[20:41] <rampage73> [ 2235.036000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[20:42] <brutus> glitsj16, that's what I've been breaking my head over :)
[20:42] <joinAD> Anybody here familiar with joining Ubuntu machines to Active Directory domains?
[20:42] <glitsj16> brutus: according to your paste (line 56) the driver is already set to nvidia indeed, at a loss here sorry
[20:42] <Drknezz> brutus, weird
[20:43] <Drknezz> !x
[20:43] <brutus> glitsj16, probably the BusID is wrong? when i do lscpi it shows busID as 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GS (rev a1)
[20:44] <xTheGoat121x> Anyone in here familiar with Conky?
[20:44] <brutus> Drknezz, why isn't my system responding to the xorg.conf file ?
[20:44] <_VIM_> !anyone | xTheGoat121x
[20:44] <macman> i have a nVidia Corporation G71GL [Quadro FX 3500] in a laptop and it is killing my battery .. is there something i can configure in the kernal or do to keep my battery life up ?
[20:44] <Drknezz> brutus, how?=
[20:45] <Scunizi> rampage73: I just plugged in a usb stick to look at what came up.  After the lines you mentioned (mine are a bit different) once the device has settled I get a lot of "sd" lines and eventually it shows sdd1.. try a sudo fdisk -l in terminal
[20:45] <brutus> Drknezz, well in xorg.conf I'm using nvidia driver but in "screens and graphics" it says vesa....
[20:45] <Drknezz> macman, go system menu, there should be a nvidia app
[20:45] <jrib> brutus: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log tell you?
[20:45] <glitsj16> brutus: BusID was set to "PCI:1:0:0" according to the paste (line 57) ...
[20:45] <Drknezz> : macman, that can help you activate powermizer
[20:46] <Drknezz> brutus, maybe you have the wrong driver
[20:46] <xTheGoat121x> It looks like Ubuntu is drawing a shadow around my Conky, and I'd prefer it didn't.  It never did until I upgraded to Intrepid.
[20:46] <brutus> jrib Drknezz Here's my xorg.conf btw: http://pastebin.com/m1d0a3278
[20:46] <Drknezz> brutus, nvidia divides cards into "legacy" and "new"
[20:46] <macman> i don't see it Drknezz
[20:46] <Drknezz> macman, have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[20:46] <macman> Drknezz, do you want me to go thardware drivers ?
[20:47] <macman> Drknezz, i don't know .. i installed ubuntu .. lol i can see everything
[20:47] <Drknezz> macman, then install nvidia drivers...
[20:47] <keith_> Does Linux have any decent video editors?
[20:47] <Drknezz> macman, type "gksu jockey-gtk"
[20:47] <Drknezz> brutus, try typing "gksu jockey-gtk"
[20:47] <macman> Drknezz, what is that ?
[20:47] <brutus> Drknezz, I have the 8600GS so I installed nvidia-glx-new
[20:47] <glitsj16> brutus: did you install nvidia driver from synaptic or from nvidia's website ?
[20:47] <brutus> glitsj16, synaptic..
[20:48] <_VIM_> xTheGoat121x:  change 'own_window_type normal' to 'own_window_type override' in .conkyrc
[20:48] <Drknezz> macman, it will help you installing nvidia drivers
[20:48] <mestopholeese_> Keith: I use avidemux
[20:48] <macman> gsku command not found
[20:48] <macman> do i apt-get it ?
[20:48] <_VIM_> its' gksudo or gksu
[20:48] <brutus> Drknezz, I ran jockey...nothing happenend...what next?
[20:48] <Drknezz> macman: , sorry, typo, it is gksu
[20:48] <rampage73> Scunizi, all it lists after waiting 2 minutes is my hard drive /dev/sda
[20:49] <Drknezz> brutus, srsly?, that should check if you have all drivers
[20:49] <xTheGoat121x> _VIM_, thanks, that did it.
[20:49] <leleobhz> ive created a encrypted disk image with ubuntu hardy some time ago, and now with intrepid i cant mount it
[20:49] <_VIM_> :)
[20:49] <leleobhz> someone know how can i access my disk?
[20:49] <keith_> mestopholeese_: That one seems like it is decent (looked at it briefly) but my videos are ogv. I am working on converting them now though.
[20:49] <Fudge> hi, when ever i leave my ubuntu over night i come back in the morning and the computer has locked up. using 810. anyone know why this could be? I dont believe it is hardware.
[20:49] <silver_swords> is there another channel for bluetooth in ubuntu?
[20:49] <Scunizi> rampage73: is the camera plugged into a hub? if so try plugging it directly
[20:49] <brutus> jrib, Here's the log file: http://pastebin.com/m5e023acf
[20:50] <rampage73> Scunizi, no plugged into laptop directly on a known good usb port
[20:50] <macman> Drknezz, so after i do that i click on all the nvidia stuff and click on activate ?
[20:50] <hollywoodb> Fudge: is it actually locked up, or is it running but the display will not come back on?
[20:50] <brutus> Drknezz, I know I have nvidia-glx-new installed because when I try to apt-get it again it says its already installed
[20:50] <Drknezz> macman, not all, the highest number
[20:50] <Scunizi> rampage73: weird.... and can you pull the pics off the camera?
[20:50] <Fudge> hollywoodb i beleive its locked up, i cant logout of the desktop or anything
[20:51] <rampage73> this is frustrating i know the solution is right there in front of me somehow (laughing at me most likely)
[20:51] <Drknezz> brutus, weird, X loads up nvidia module, but uses vesa instead
[20:51] <hollywoodb> Fudge: so the screen isn't black?  it's just sitting at the desktop, frozen?
[20:51]  * dronix is back (gone 07:22:40)
[20:51] <brandonban6> can you use fdisk to change an HDD label?
[20:51] <Fudge> yes
[20:51]  * dronix is away: I'm busy
[20:51] <rampage73> Scunizi, the ones that show up yes ubuntu recognizes them immediately i am trying to recover the ones that were deleted
[20:51] <rwparris2> is there an analog to C:\program files in ubuntu?  I'm trying to find where meld was installed to so I can point rapidsvn at it
[20:51] <Drknezz> brutus, type "dmesg >> test.txt" on a console and pastebin the contents of test.txt
[20:51] <_VIM_> !away > dronix
[20:51] <Pici> !away > dronix
[20:52] <Pici> oops
[20:52] <macman> Drknezz, that will help me with the battery ?
[20:52] <rampage73> very weird
[20:52] <brutus> Drknezz, can you tell anything from the Xorg log file? http://pastebin.com/m5e023acf
[20:52] <Scunizi> rampage73: ah.. missed that part.. does gparted see the camera?
[20:52] <The-Kernel> How do I remove the GUI and all that is linked to ubunt-desktop like firefox, thunderbird and all those apps?
[20:52] <Drknezz> rwparris2: it could have been installed somewhere in /usr
[20:52] <hollywoodb> Fudge: well, you can look at /var/log/messages to see if anything happened overnight, and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old to see if it was X that locked up.
[20:52] <dronix> I see sorry thank you
[20:52] <rampage73> Scunizi, i will check hang on
[20:52] <Drknezz> macman, powermizer underclocks your gpu to save battery
[20:52] <hollywoodb> Fudge: but it may be hard to figure out what's going on if it is just locking up like that when you're not using it
[20:52] <Fudge> ok hollywoodb, if it was just X wouldnt control alt backspace work still?
[20:52] <brutus> Drknezz, I should dmesg after typing the jockey command?
[20:52] <Scunizi> The-Kernel: sounds like you want server
[20:53] <Drknezz> brutus, i saw it, X loads up nvidia module, but it uses vesa instead, weird
[20:53] <rwparris2> Drknezz, is there a way to search?
[20:53] <Fudge> i want to get a new hard drive so i can just reinstall and hope its ok
[20:53] <hollywoodb> Fudge: maybe, maybe not... X can do a pretty hard lock where the system can appear to be frozen but using SSH to log into the machine and do a proper shutdown still works
[20:53] <Drknezz> brutus, dont worry bout jockey
[20:53] <macman> Drknezz, so install powermizer
[20:53] <MalbeC> taianee Oii meu amotr
[20:53] <Drknezz> macman, powermizer comes with the nvidia driver
[20:53] <Scunizi> Fudge: hollywoodb have you tried ctrl+alt+F3 to get to a tty?
[20:53] <macman> oh
[20:53] <nullstring> so, my intel graphics is like.. clipping or osmething.. IDK how to describe it..
[20:53] <Fudge> ah hollywoodb thats an idea for next time. another problem i couldnt figure out was in nauthtiless in list view it woudl close
[20:53] <taianee> MalbeC oiiiiiiiii coraçaooooo
[20:53] <macman> so after i install reboot and do it
[20:53] <macman> ok
[20:54] <macman> brb
[20:54] <nullstring> anyeone have any idea how to fix it?
[20:54] <MalbeC> taianee muito gringo aquiii!!
[20:54] <taianee> td bomm ::?
[20:54] <glitsj16> brutus: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) ... looks bizar
[20:54] <macman> thanks a lot Drknezz
[20:54] <Drknezz> rwparris2, try going into /usr with nautilus and searching for it
[20:54] <rampage73> Scunizi, no gparted sees exactly what fdisk sees my laptop hard drive all /dev/sda
[20:54] <nullstring> it didn't do it in an older version of ubuntu
[20:54] <Drknezz> macman, np
[20:54] <Drknezz> glitsj16: : agreed
[20:54] <taianee> MalbeC sera q so nois dois de brasilieros aki ?
[20:54] <hollywoodb> Fudge: I'm not very familiar with nautilus, actually
[20:54] <Fudge> is 904 in eta yet?
[20:54] <MalbeC> taianee so nos aqui e uma rede gringa da alemanha eu achoo
[20:54] <Fudge> 904 sorry
[20:54] <MalbeC> rsrsrs
[20:55] <_VIM_> English please
[20:55] <taianee> xcoimbra flamenguistaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[20:55] <Drknezz> brutus, try changing "nvidia" for "nv" in xorg.conf, and pressing Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc, then come back here
[20:55] <joinAD> IS THERE A UBUNTU DEV CHANNEL?
[20:55] <Scunizi> rampage73: so the question is how does the computer recognize and mount a device allowing access only though fspot or gthumb but hides the mount point from the system... arg.. anyone?
[20:55] <taianee> ate tu aki xcoimbra
[20:55] <_VIM_> joinAD:  #Ubuntu-devel
[20:55] <brutus> glitsj16, Drknezz btw glxgears gives the error: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[20:56] <finaltune> hi
[20:56] <_VIM_> Scunizi: i thought it was devel?
[20:56] <jpds> !en | MalbeC
[20:56] <Drknezz> brutus, that's not odd on your situation
[20:56] <pianist> hallo
[20:56] <glitsj16> brutus: yep, your Xorg.0.log mentioned glx not being enabled so that makes sense
[20:56] <finaltune> i have a question
[20:56] <Scunizi> _VIM_: could be .. he/she was shouting and I was frazzled :)
[20:56] <_VIM_> Oh it forwards to devel
[20:56] <_VIM_> :)
[20:56] <rampage73> Scunizi, sounds like the question to me
[20:56] <finaltune> what is the best email provider?
[20:56] <MalbeC> ubottu no compreendo
[20:56] <MalbeC> huahuaha
[20:56] <xcoimbra> malbec so bot
[20:56] <rampage73> wish i had the answer
[20:56] <jpds> !pt | MalbeC
[20:57] <macman> Drknezz, .. hey im back .. so im in the nvidi X server settings .. what options should i look at ?
[20:57] <Scunizi> rampage73: hopefully someone will pick up on it. :(
[20:57] <xcoimbra> taianee so bot
[20:57] <quibbler> brandonban6: no you use gparted
[20:57] <Drknezz> macman, yes, try to look at each tab, and look for "powermizer"
[20:57] <finaltune> can you please tell me what is the best email provider?
[20:57] <NativeAngels> whats the command to delete a file
[20:57] <taianee> xcoimbra to vendo isso
[20:57] <taianee> kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[20:57] <MalbeC> xcoimbra nao aqui e tudo gente mesmoo nao tem bot aquiii
[20:57] <rampage73> Scunizi, i do appreciate your time in helping me thought i was losing my mind
[20:57] <taianee> kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[20:57] <Drknezz> BRB!!!!
[20:57] <macman> Drknezz, i found powermizer .. there is no option to uncheck
[20:57] <_VIM_> !best | finaltune
[20:57] <xcoimbra> malbec bot e clone
[20:57] <guntbert> !best | finaltune
[20:57] <finaltune> can you please tell me what is the best email provider?
[20:57] <brutus> Drknezz, here's the dmesg output: http://pastebin.com/m54f5202
[20:57] <Scunizi> To all great puzzle solvers... so the question is how does the computer recognize and mount a device allowing access only though fspot or gthumb but hides the mount point from the system?
[20:57] <xcoimbra> malbec da uma olhda nos clone
[20:57] <xcoimbra> fih
[20:58] <finaltune> ...
[20:58] <webby> hello, I am using the proprietary ATI drivers and for some reason on my Radeon 2400 pro I don't get the option to enable the second monitor
[20:58] <crdlb> brutus: what model GPU do you have?
[20:58] <webby> anyone have an idea?
[20:58] <brutus> crdlb, nvidia 8600GS
[20:58] <crdlb> brutus: and this is hardy? (8.04)?
[20:58] <xHDL> Hello! all
[20:58] <Scunizi> rampage73: no problem.. I'd sure like to know the answer as well..
[20:58] <webby> by proprietary i mean the FGLRX graphics drivers
[20:58] <MalbeC> xcoimbra aqui da pra alugar servidor pra linkar la na rede
[20:58] <brutus> crdlb, no, gutsy 7.10
[20:59] <xHDL> I have a question....
[20:59] <Scunizi> rampage73: might also log into ##linux and ask there
[20:59] <rampage73> if i find it i will let you know
[20:59] <Scunizi> rampage73: I'm in there now and will post the question
[20:59] <xcoimbra> malbec asim ate meu # fika grande
[20:59] <guntbert> !ask | xHDL
[20:59] <rampage73> Scunizi, i will try that thanks
[20:59] <rampage73> kewl thanks
[20:59] <xcoimbra> ?hois webby
[20:59] <xHDL> how can I create a primary partition in ubuntu from a extended one without lost data is it possible?
[20:59] <quibbler> !es | xcoimbra
[20:59] <crdlb> brutus: I _think_ that driver is too old; let me check for sure
[20:59] <webby> xcoimbra: I love you
[21:00] <xcoimbra> webby my eggs
[21:00] <tux___> test
[21:00] <xcoimbra> webby by brazil
[21:00] <keith_> What would we do without ubottu? :p
[21:00] <guntbert> tux___: please test elsewhere :)
[21:00] <_VIM_> keith_: or google
[21:00] <brandonban6> quibbler, thanks, I'll give gparted a try. I used e2label and it didn't seem to work for my external HDD label (which is ext3).
[21:00] <The-Kernel> Scunizi: Yes, CLI only...what's the remove command?
[21:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> keith_, seek water at another place in the desert, yet still wouldn't find any
[21:01] <webby> Anyone? FGLRX not showing secondary monitor? Ideas?
[21:01] <brutus> crdlb, I'll brb after restarting Xserver
[21:01] <quibbler> brandonban6: you may have to first unmount the disk
[21:01] <romeo> c.ircworld.org
[21:01] <crdlb> brutus: I was right
[21:01] <strombom> how can i get the version number of an installed package? in this case libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
[21:02] <keith_> !love
[21:02] <FrozenFire[work]> Is there a well-supported way to do remote desktop over an SSH connection between two Ubuntu systems?
[21:02] <guntbert> xHDL: I'm not sure what you need, you have your data in an extended partition and want to move them where?
[21:02] <crdlb> strombom: apt-get policy
[21:02] <crdlb> strombom: err, apt-cache policy that is
[21:02] <brandonban6> quibbler, I did unmount it, still no go. It was an NTFS drive, I used FDisk to partion/format it, and the mkfs.ext3 to create the file system and it works...........just the label is all screwy. I'll mess with gparted, may even re-format and see if I can get that going.
[21:03] <_VIM_> FrozenFire[work]: what do you mean by "well-supported"?
[21:03] <LLStarks|Lazy> I have just successfully made Hofstra more Linux friendly.
[21:03] <FrozenFire[work]> _VIM_: Simple to do, requiring very little tinkering. I've considered X forwarding, but that can be troublesome, iirc.
[21:04] <xHDL> gnutbert, I lost my master HDD now I have the second with just 1 extended partition this part. has 3 logical partition I want to keep 2 of them and make the first part. a new primary partition is it possible?
[21:04] <_VIM_> FrozenFire[work]: maybe tunneling VNC then
[21:04] <Drknezz> Hi!
[21:04] <glitsj16> gotta go, wish brutus all the best .. enjoy the weekend people
[21:04] <Drknezz> Im back!
[21:04] <Drknezz> brutus, how you going?
[21:04] <Scunizi> rampage73: did you catch all that on ##linux?
[21:04] <guntbert> LLStarks|Lazy: do you need a full desktop on the remote machine or will single applications be sufficient?
[21:05] <LLStarks|Lazy> what?
[21:05] <strombom> crdlb: thanks
[21:05] <rampage73> Scunizi, yes downloading it now will let you know if it works
[21:05] <guntbert> LLStarks|Lazy: sorry, wrong nick :)
[21:05] <rampage73> thanks
[21:05] <Scunizi> rampage73: cool
[21:05] <guntbert> FrozenFire[work]:  do you need a full desktop on the remote machine or will single applications be sufficient?
[21:05] <FrozenFire[work]> guntbert: Preferably full desktop
[21:05] <Drknezz> macman, you still there?
[21:05] <brutus> crdlb, could you find out the problem?
[21:06] <balleyne> I'm getting an odd error when opening PDFs in nautilus: the filename $filename.pdf indicates that this file is of type "pdf document." The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "PDF document"...  If I change the extension from .pdf to .PDF the error goes away. Happens with all .pdf files. Seems like a settings issue with capital / lower case file types... anyone know how to fix this?
[21:06] <crdlb> brutus: yes
[21:06] <FrozenFire[work]> In fact, if I could use my existing session, that would be perfect.
[21:06] <crdlb> brutus: you need at least 173.14.12, you have 100.14.19 :/
[21:06] <Drknezz> balleyne, left click go to "Open with.." and choose your fav pdf app, with a ".pdf" file
[21:06] <brutus> Drknezz, here's what happened: I changed nvidia to nv and rebooted the system- ubuntu started on low graphics mode and now i'm stuck on 800*600 and cannot icnrease
[21:07] <macman> Drknezz, .. ubuntu keeps saying that i'm using hardware that isn't recgonized .. this is after i installed nvidia
[21:07] <macman> should i install each one and try ?
[21:07] <Drknezz> macman, yes
[21:07] <macman> ok
[21:07] <macman> brb
[21:07] <Dr_willis> the !nvidia wiki page i thoughth had a link to what drivers are for what cards.
[21:07] <crdlb> brutus: which is only available in intrepid
[21:07] <brutus> crdlb, you suggest I download this one from the nvidia site?
[21:07] <Drknezz> brutus, weird, type vesa instead of nvidia and try again
[21:07] <crdlb> brutus: unless you install it from nvidia.com which can break very badly
[21:07] <enzotib> !freenx | FrozenFire[work]
[21:07] <guntbert> FrozenFire[work]: single apps is easy, lets start with that: you invoke your ssh-session with ssh  -X <login>@<remotemachine>, that will forward any X Client to your machine
[21:08] <Drknezz> crdlb, intrepid broke compat with that installer, Xen kernel?
[21:08] <FrozenFire[work]> guntbert: Yeah, I know how to do X forwarding. Doesn't seem to meet my needs.
[21:08] <brutus> Drknezz, crdlb, the whole problem started when I tried to install the 180 version driver from the nvidia site; before that the graphics were working like a charm with the current driver (nvidia-glx-new)
[21:08] <crdlb> Drknezz: but it comes with -173, -177, and -180 (in updates), so he'd be covered
[21:09] <crdlb> brutus: what does 'lspci | grep -i vga' say?
[21:09] <Drknezz> brutus, uninstall the nvidia one, with the nvidia installer, with the -u argument, and re.install nvidia-glx-new
