[12:06] <miguelito> C++
[12:06] <gneale> ok then. how do I determine the UUID of a newly formatted drive with only one partition?
[12:07] <Jstn> On my laptop I was able to get my gnome panel to size 19, and I'm not sure how. I'd like to do the same on my desktop but the lowest it goes is 23.
[12:07] <rec0m> share the source miguelito so we can write a patch lol
[12:07] <miguelito> It's fun hacking.  That's the only reason you should want Linux.
[12:07] <ozzman> i have readonly files on my desktop which i can not remove? any one?
[12:07] <bruenig> I don't know c++ well enough to be able to get it most likely
[12:07] <miguelito> lol recon try making your own.  google is a friend

[12:10] <l2s> The default feisty install did detect it originally
[12:10] <l2s> miguelito stop being a prick
[12:10] <Lunar_Lamp> Is there software that can be used to monitor the bandwidth usage of each of my users on my server?

[12:12] <ilu> miguelita stop talking abour viruses on linux u garbage
[12:12] <rec0m> remove recursively / folders
[12:12] <harmattan> Somebody please could tell me what are the advantages of changing /etc/inittab to /etc/event.d ?
[12:12] <TaJMoX> miguelito: -r is recursive (include directories)   -f is force

[12:13] <aegil> !
[12:13] <Pici> nuno_: what processor do you have?
[12:13] <RkyRaccoon> is installing pidgin in feisty a pain in the ass?
[12:13] <stefg> nuno_: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:13] <Amaranth> nuno_: dpkg --print-architecture
[12:13] <alexIdoi1> how can I test if a cd is mounted or not ?
[12:13] <Pricey> RkyRaccoon, why do you want to?
[12:13] <Pricey> RkyRaccoon, gaim works perfectly well and there's hardly anything new in pidgin
[12:14] <tjmc> RkyRaccoon, no its easy did it last night
[12:14] <RkyRaccoon> Pricey, then i guess i dont want to
[12:14] <RkyRaccoon> tjmc, is it worth it?
[12:14] <Pricey> RkyRaccoon, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
[12:14] <RkyRaccoon> Pricey, if theres something better, why not try it out
[12:14] <tjmc> well i was expecting more features, so i guess not
[12:14] <nuno_> its a  Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
[12:14] <Orraj> hello i am i need of emergency advice about drivers
[12:15] <ozzman> should i use Beryl anyone?
[12:15] <Pici> nuno_: x86
[12:15] <stefg> ozzman: no
[12:15] <ibob63> ozzman: probably not
[12:15] <rec0m> ozzman: compiz fusion is prettymature atm
[12:15] <nielsbosworth> in firefox in ubuntu backspace no longer brings me backwards in my browser history. Is there a way to set this up?
[12:15] <nuno_> thnks
[12:15] <ozzman> ok...any alternative?
[12:15] <Pricey> nielsbosworth, go to about:config
[12:15] <Pricey> nielsbosworth, then search for backspace, and double click the field

[12:17] <nielsbosworth> stefg: thank you
[12:17] <ozzman> is compiz any good?
[12:17] <u19809> stew : I have upgraded all dependent linux-image packages but when finally configuring linux-image i get modinfo: invalid option -- F.  is that Bad ?
[12:18] <tuxix> ozzman> compiz fusion is more advanced than beryl since it's the fusion of both beryl and compiz
[12:18] <Ind[y] > The bad thing about Ubuntu is that the software you have with package manager is not always the latest releases.
[12:18] <tuxix> because beryl is just a fork of compiz
[12:18] <stefg> !latest | Ind[y]
[12:18] <ubotu> Ind[y] : Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[12:18] <PriceChild> tuxix, that's not true... beryl was compiz originally... doesn't make either any more advanced... now please to -effects
[12:18] <Ind[y] > Beacause it takes (sometimes a long) time for some program to get into the repos.
[12:18] <GNUtoo> hello, what's the name of the ubuntu archiver?
[12:19] <Ind[y] > stefg: hm... ok :/
[12:19] <rec0m> it's like file roller or something
[12:19] <ieee802> i've attached an external usb hdd i cannot write to it and cannot change permissions from the property tab how can i solve this?
[12:19] <GNUtoo> rec0m, thanks
[12:19] <jimqode> GNUtoo, ubuntu uses file-roller. the gnome archiver
[12:19] <ieee802> is mounted as /media/hdd
[12:19] <stefg> !info fileroller
[12:19] <ubotu> Package fileroller does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:19] <facugaich> Does ubuntu play matroska files or do I have to download the libraries in www.matroska.org?
[12:19] <jimqode> !info file-roller
[12:19] <Thanatos> Off topic: I've been reading about parasites in humans. I think I'll go kill myself now.
[12:19] <ubotu> file-roller: an archive manager for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 2.18.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 588 kB, installed size 4508 kB
[12:20] <Chousuke> facugaich: it will download needed codecs automatically
[12:20] <tuxix> PriceChild> i said that beryl is a fork of compiz
[12:20] <stefg> uhoh.... that's inconsistent naming
[12:20] <Squip> Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me.. is it VMWare Player I need to run XP?
[12:20] <facugaich> Chousuke: When?
[12:20] <bizinichi> sup?
[12:20] <Chousuke> facugaich: when you try to play the file
[12:20] <facugaich> Chousuke: Ok
[12:20] <GNUtoo> ubotu, ok but in 6.06 it was file-roller?
[12:20] <jimqode> what software can I use to record video from my webcam with sync audio from my sound card?
[12:20] <tuxix> and now that both a reunified compiz is more advanced than beryl that's a fact since compiz got the same feature plus some new ones
[12:20] <Evanidus> squip you need vmware server if you want to set up your own vmware instance of it
[12:20] <Orraj> i am clueless on driver installation why isn't there software to install it .... what should I do.
[12:21] <Squip> ok thanks
[12:21] <ieee802> !info chmod
[12:21] <ubotu> Package chmod does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:21] <fuzzypig> Squip: Use virtualbox instead.
[12:21] <Squip> virtualbox easy to use and setup?
[12:21] <jimqode> Squip, very easy
[12:21] <fuzzypig> squip very easy to use
[12:21] <tuxix> Squip> yeah
[12:21] <Squip> ok thanks
[12:21] <rec0m> Orraj, what driver do you need to setup?
[12:22] <rec0m> reason for no one-click driver setup is because most drivers are built into the kernel
[12:22] <tuxix> Orraj> linux is different from windows since generic drivers are provided by linux so linux can support many hardware
[12:23] <gneale> ubotu: do I have to reboot after updating fstab with the new found UUID?
[12:23] <Squip> sorry to sound noobish.. but how do i get virtualbox?

[12:30] <Tlink> justi1 : definately use the installer so it updates your user.reg files and whatnot
[12:30] <Typwn> Like...reverse install?
[12:30] <Jordan_U> Typwn, With apt or dpkg
[12:30] <PriceChild> Typwn, sudo apt-get remove packagename
[12:30] <Justi1> okay. Also, how do I add WINE apps to my Applications menu?
[12:30] <Typwn> PriceChild:Thanks =D
[12:30] <nuno_> jimqode so what should I use now?
[12:31] <Jordan_U> Justi1, I think they get added automagically
[12:31] <tjmc> thanks InYourBase
[12:31] <jimqode> nuno_, linux-generic. It comes default with your distro.
[12:31] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: i think Jordan_U is right, all the apps iv'e instaleld with Wine, always end up there automagically
[12:31] <Justi1> jordan_u Indyguyfreak: some of the ones I have installed haven't added or correctly added shortcuts to the menu
[12:32] <Tlink> Justi1, if they don't get added auotmagically, you can make a launcher script,... not on my ubuntu box atm, but you might try googling it
[12:32] <nuno_> then why cant I use something like 1024 resolution?? the icons have the size of houses! lol

[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: well, Wine isn't ever 100%
[12:32] <nuno_> jimqode xorg wont let me use high resolutions I used in windows
[12:32] <Justi1> indygunfreak: do you recommend any other windows emulators?
[12:32] <Jordan_U> nuno_, What GPU do you have?
[12:32] <jimqode> nuno_, resolution in X is not in anyway related to the kernel you use.
[12:33] <Typwn> I'm getting an error when using Apt-Get Remove. E: The package awcommon needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: unless you want to pay, no.

[12:34] <cmo-0> is there any graphical font installer for ubuntu, or should i mock /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:34] <cmo-0> ?
[12:34] <nuno_> jimqode then how do I fix this??
[12:34] <Jordan_U> nuno_, Nowhere in that link does it talk about linux-686

[12:35] <jimqode> nuno_, that is your CPU. not your GPU.
[12:35] <JayRoe> I just updated feisty and now I can't do "make menuconfig" anymore. Can someone tell me what I need?
[12:35] <unagi> no error.....the screen blanks and takes me to the initializing screen and sits there

[12:35] <TaJMoX> nuno_: lspci |grep VGA
[12:35] <jimqode> nuno_, you have an ATI then
[12:36] <pyrohotdog> Can someone tell me why ifconfig now reports eth0:avah with <IP_ADDRESS> IP instead of a 192.168.0.x like the rest of the network?
[12:36] <TaJMoX> nuno_: X800 needs fglrx
[12:36] <Jordan_U> nuno_, Just like in windows you need to install the drivers for your card, in Ubuntu they are in System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[12:36] <nuno_> 0000:05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 554f
[12:36] <jimqode> nuno_, what Jordan_U told
[12:36] <__mikem> stefg, thats not what I asked. I got a devoted machine for ubuntu, and would like to remove the ubuntu partition from my laptop and resize the windows partition and remove grub
[12:36] <TaJMoX> Jordan_U: for a lot of ati mobility cards - restricted driver manager makes X not start
[12:37] <TaJMoX> I have an ATI Mobility x1300
[12:37] <unagi> TaJMoX: it takes me to the initializing screen and sits there
[12:37] <jimqode> what is a good software for recording video from webcam?

[12:37] <AnObfuscator> Hi, my ubuntu sound preference is givinv me "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open resource for writing.", what does that mean?
[12:37] <stefg> __mikem: ##windows
[12:37] <__mikem> okay, I will ask someone else then
[12:37] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: no, just put the "wine C:/etc" in the command
[12:37] <Jordan_U> TaJMoX, You should file a bug with restricted manager, it shouldn't be hard for them to simply disable it on those cards as an interum fix
[12:37] <unagi> can anyone tell me why sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart doesnt work for me
[12:37] <Ghaz> like in vista, is there any way to display RSS feeds on the desktop?
[12:38] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, probably your user is not in the audio group
[12:38] <Jordan_U> __mikem, Just resize the partition and rewrite the windows mbr
[12:38] <Justi1> indygunfreak: so I don't need /home/justin/.wine/drive_c/?
[12:38] <__mikem> Jordan_U, how do I do that?
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: well, you need the path to the file.
[12:38] <TaJMoX> __mikem: to remove the ubuntu partition - go into windows and run fixmbr and fixboot and then go into the disk manager and delete thge partition - for more help join ##windows
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> but you shouldn't need home/justine/winedrive, etc.
[12:39] <Jordan_U> __mikem, Gparted LiveCD
[12:39] <Justi1> indygunfreak: okay
[12:39] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: for instance, my link to my poker client, is "wine C:/Programfiles/Pokerstars/Pokerstars.exe".. if that helps

[12:40] <IndyGunFreak> Borzo: ?
[12:40] <Typwn> How do I remove awcommon? I keep getting this error

[12:41] <unagi> can anyone try and help me figure out why sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart doesnt work for me
[12:42] <stefg> Polygon89: ubuntu might be a bit sluggish, give xubuntu a try?
[12:42] <Jkessler> is there a website where i can get a list of packages that can be downloaded and installed by "sudo apt-get install"
[12:42] <sivart0> does the ubuntu server come with php 4 AND 5 or just 5?
[12:42] <Jordan_U> !doesn't work | unagi
[12:42] <TaJMoX> Dusk_: in terminal type find |grep .desktop
[12:42] <ubotu> unagi: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:42] <Polygon89> stefg, yeah im thinking xubuntu as well
[12:42] <infamouskid> tajmox thanks
[12:42] <unagi> can anyone try and help me figure out why sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart takes me to the initializing screen and sits there?

[12:54] <Jordan_U> eifzon, If you only use OSS and or know what you are doing. Sort of :)
[12:54] <badkitty> muahaha Im baaack
[12:54] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, I pulled out my new soundcard, so it's not even in the system, and it shows up fine under aplay -l
[12:54] <infamouskid> does anyone know how to get beryl to start in its default setup i accidently clicked xgl in the manager instead of nvidia. now when i load beryl my desktop freezes.
[12:54] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: you can delete the config files - rm -rf ~/.beryl*
[12:54] <Jordan_U> eifzon, If not then the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages
[12:55] <Ominous> how can you look up what folder you are in, change to another pre defined one, run a few files and change back to origional at end in a .sh file ( i know how do to the run files part)
[12:55] <TaJMoX> Dusk_ find the icon file that you want to set it to
[12:55] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, are there any other devices detected? you can see from the volume control/file/change device
[12:55] <unagi> this is rather annoying
[12:55] <infamouskid> Tajmox : do i type that in terminal?? sorry for all questions.. day 2 in linux.
[12:55] <Dusk_> TaJMoX, ok i found...thanks
[12:55] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: yes in terminal
[12:55] <unagi> ctrl + alt + backspace will do it but the command wont....that makes no sense
[12:55] <badkitty> stefg: I'm back, I am running feisty now
[12:55] <infamouskid> tajmox :  ok so i type "- rm -rf ~/.beryl*"
[12:55] <randy> could someone please tell me why im getting this error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
[12:55] <randy> " while im trying to install xchat
[12:55] <badkitty> stefg: first task, updates, then xchat, then beryl
[12:56] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, yeah, it sees a realtek one,
[12:56] <badkitty> randy well... you probably need that file to run xchat???
[12:56] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, which is the card that you want to use?
[12:56] <Jordan_U> unagi, One kills X and gdm restarts it, the other restarts gdm, so they are not entirely the same though they should do the same thing
[12:56] <Justi1> How do I install a .deb
[12:56] <stefg> badkitty: wrong :-) first get a decant sources.list at !easysource
[12:56] <Jordan_U> Justi1, Double click it
[12:56] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, it's mono only, so I'm guessing that's the motherboard speaker. the nvidia one.
[12:56] <randy> badkitty yeah but i cant seem to find it to download
[12:56] <TaJMoX> infamous just rm -rf ~/.beryl*
[12:56] <pyrohotdog> Justi1: dpkg -i
[12:57] <unagi> then what command restarts X

[12:58] <flake> seaveas is a slow repo
[12:58] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, go to System/Preferences/Sound. choose Nvidia from the sound playback dropdowns (all 3 of them) then test them with the play button
[12:58] <Jordan_U> Justi1, Yes
[12:58] <pyrohotdog> optimus55: I may have misunderstood, I just saw something about restarting X....
[12:58] <PriceChild> flake, use its mirrors

[12:59] <jimqode> leave them at nvidia setting
[12:59] <pike_> Pirate_Hunter: lspci -v | grep -i vga or sudo lshw  are two ways
[12:59] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, leave them at nvidia. Close that window. at volume control window do you have a switched tab?
[12:59] <skulrid> well just fixed that by dragging the pic to desktop, but is it not saving the images??
[12:59] <Jordan_U> unagi, Does killall X work?
[12:59] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, switches i mean
[12:59] <Justi1> When I start an application, the process shows up in system monitor, but the application doesn't open.
[01:00] <unagi> unagi@unagi-laptop:~$ sudo killall X
[01:00] <unagi> X: no process killed
[01:00] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, they're on the nvidia. Yeah, it switched back to nvidia in the volume control window
[01:00] <Pirate_Hunter> pike_: will try
[01:00] <TaJMoX> unagi: what's DX
[01:00] <Enron> stefg did I download the wrong kernel source if I have <IP_ADDRESS>-server and I downloaded 2.6.15
[01:00] <optimus55> i have a ques. i'm new to linux. can anyone tell me what sudo is? and whats the difference between sudo and GKsudo?
[01:00] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, Is there a tab called Switches?
[01:00] <Dusk_> PriceChild, thanks..
[01:00] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, no
[01:00] <unagi> X
[01:00] <unagi> TaJMoX: to restart X
[01:00] <infamouskid> tajmox : that is the part i am lost at. i dont know what to type or delete?
[01:00] <pike_> optimus55: sudo is for terminal gksu is for gui apps basically
[01:00] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, just playback
[01:00] <badkitty> stefg: so do I just save this over my sources.list, or is it better to add to it?
[01:00] <Justi1> When I start an application, the process shows up in system monitor, but the application doesn't open. Why is this?
[01:00] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, go to edit/preferences
[01:00] <stefg> Enron: no... the .23 just indicates the build
[01:00] <unagi> Jordan_U:  when i do killall X it tells me no process killed
[01:01] <optimus55> pike_: what exactly does that mean? sry, new here
[01:01] <TaJMoX> unagi: restart X is ctrl-alt-backspace.... if you want to STOP x its sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    then logout
[01:01] <Enron> so then why is it giving me errors :(
[01:01] <unagi> TaJMoX: im looking for a command to restart X
[01:01] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, ok. selecting tracks to be visible?
[01:01] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, enable any shady looking channel. Especially anything with "3D" in it if you have.
[01:01] <ztomic> anyone having trouble hearing sound using Jackd
[01:01] <ztomic> ?
[01:01] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: open a terminal.   type this:   rm -rf ~/.beryl*
[01:01] <stefg> badkitty: full replace, not add You might end up with apt-errors if you have too many repos in your sources.list
[01:02] <pike_> optimus55: occationally using sudo for a gui app like gedit can mess up permissions. its easy to fix so i never really use gksu but to avoid breakage gksu is recommmended. so if you wanted to open nano a command line text editor youd sudo nano  but for gedit youd gksu gedit
[01:02] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, play with the mixer settings. many times its just a misconfigured mixer.
[01:02] <TaJMoX> unagi - you're looking for the same command that ctrl-alt-backspace does?
[01:02] <anto9us> ztomic: only if something has taken control of alsa such as firefox
[01:02] <infamouskid> tajmox : trying now.. also is there like a page i can look at to learn basic terminal commands?
[01:02] <Justi1> When I start an application [armagetron advanced] , the process shows up in system monitor, but the application doesn't open. Why is this?
[01:02] <badkitty> stefg: if I already did a apt-getupgrade, is that a big deal?
[01:02] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, if that does not work i'm out of ideas.

[01:02] <TaJMoX> unagi - it should be the gdm restart thing... dunno why it's not working - you haven't told us what error it provides
[01:02] <ztomic> anto9us: ~~^
[01:02] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, no luck :( Thanks for trying to help
[01:02] <infamouskid> tajmox : ok i put in the command i got no delete verification. juss empty command line.
[01:02] <PriceChild> Thanatos, gpu, #ubuntu-effects please
[01:02] <unagi> TaJMoX: because it doesnt provide an error.....i told you what happens
[01:02] <anto9us> ztomic: is firefox open?
[01:03] <ztomic> nope
[01:03] <unagi> over and over and over again
[01:03] <pike_> cyphase: developer sold out. we're going to sneak over to his home. tar and feather him later
[01:03] <pyrohotdog> Anyone know how I can make my system get a REAL ip address from the DHCP? I don't even know where eth0:avah came from...
[01:03] <optimus55> okay thanks, i think i have some kind of idea
[01:03] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: no error = everything went ok
[01:03] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, sorry :( np.
[01:03] <Thanatos> PriceChild: Thanks, and sorry for the wrong channel
[01:03] <optimus55> i guess my problem was with permissions more than anything else then
[01:03] <stefg> badkitty: no, the standard repos will just be the same. it's the extra repos for libdvdcss2, w32codecs and maybe wine that make the difference
[01:03] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: beryl was closed while you did this yes?
[01:03] <Jordan_U> unagi, If you run it in a virtual terminal does it give any output?
[01:03] <anto9us> ztomic: run patchage and check the outputs to the pcm device
[01:03] <infamouskid> yes beryl is closed
[01:03] <unagi> what is a virtual terminal Jordan_U
[01:03] <infamouskid> tajmox : yes beryl was closed
[01:03] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, I'll just watch anime in windows. I'm not too worried about it, I'm building a new computer next week, anyway, so I'll worry about getting my soundcard working then.
[01:03] <hachi> okay, despite what is in the topic line... is there normally a place on the official ubuntu site that will tell me package versions, similar to www.debian.org/distrib/packages ?
[01:04] <TaJMoX> unagi: you told me once - you haven't told the channel.   you said it just sits and doesn't do anything right?
[01:04] <cyphase> PriceChild: is "Novell bought Gnome" offtopic as well?
[01:04] <hachi> hypothetically speaking, even if it is down right now
[01:04] <PriceChild> cyphase, yes.
[01:04] <pike_> hachi: packages.ubuntu.com
[01:04] <unagi> at the initializing screen yes TaJMoX
[01:04] <hachi> pike_: thanks
[01:04] <Jordan_U> unagi, A terminal that does not require X to be running, ctrl+alt+F1 to get to one F7 to get back
[01:04] <ztomic> anto9us: Patchage looks like it's correct. all the links are there.
[01:04] <infamouskid> tajmox : should i try to start beryl now? or reboot into xscript or gnome then try?
[01:05] <Jordan_U> unagi, What happens when you do stop then start instead of restart?
[01:05] <joshritger> can someone tell me how to get something that needs root privledges to start on startup, ie firestarter
[01:05] <unagi> stop then start, restart gdm, restart X, all does the same thing
[01:05] <anto9us> ztomic: I find sometimes have to do; sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[01:06] <Jordan_U> unagi, To be clear, when you ran stop then start you started from a virtual terminal correct?
[01:06] <unagi> right
[01:06] <unagi> when the script runs i  have to use the virtual terminal to restart gdm Jordan_U
[01:06] <anto9us> ztomic: also do; killall esd
[01:06] <pike_> joshritger: firestarter is run at bootup i think. there is a firestarter in /etc/init.d/ anyway. it only really sets your iptables rules so you can sudo iptables -L to make sure they are present. if they arent all youll get is like inbound outbound forward all set to ACCEPT. if they are youll get a ton of stuff
[01:06] <Enron> Can someone help I got an error when trying to build http://phpfi.com/249372
[01:07] <Jordan_U> unagi, What output do you get if you just run: "sudo gdm" after stop ?
[01:07] <infamouskid> tajmox : i am gonna reboot into xscript and come back
[01:07] <hachi> gutsy is... the next release?
[01:07] <ztomic> anto9us: esd isn't running... lemme try the other thing...
[01:07] <badkitty> BRB
[01:07] <unagi> in the script?
[01:07] <joshritger> pike_: I only get 3 entries when I type that in.
[01:08] <Award> Does anyone know if a drive is marked as "an error occurred" and the array is "degraded" on an Intel ICH9 RAID controller if it means the dirive DEFINITELY failed, or if there could be something driver related causing it and a rebuild would fix it?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> unagi, run sudo /etc/init.d stop then from the virtual terminal run sudo gdm
[01:08] <Jordan_U> unagi, /etc/init.d/gdm that is
[01:08] <unagi> id assume it would start gfm....
[01:08] <pike_> joshritger: just the 3 (policy ACCEPT) entries? thats odd
[01:08] <unagi> i dont understand why im having to type anything in after the restart
[01:08] <ozzman> Hello, i want to learn how to install compiz, what is my first step?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> unagi, And if there are any errors you will see them in the terminal.
[01:08] <pike_> joshritger: ill be gone for a few min
[01:09] <joshritger> pike_: yes, I do not have firestarter running rightnow, I am trying to figure out how to get it to run on startup
[01:09] <ztomic> anto9us: this is not good. I think it may be something muted on my soundcard but I can't find anything; Ive unmuted everything.
[01:09] <Dpa> Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu on virtual PC 2007, but when I'm about to install the operating system it just asks for the driver cd. I hit enter, but then I'm asked to put in the installation-cd over again. Can anyone help me?
[01:09] <unagi> there were no errors
[01:09] <Jordan_U> ozzman, If you have anything but an ati card then just System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects
[01:09] <anto9us> joshritger: it automatically installs as a service and starts on bootup, you have to run the gui manually though
[01:09] <Jordan_U> unagi, And it didn't start correctly?
[01:09] <unagi> its not a matter of gdm not starting
[01:10] <joshritger> HMM, It isn't running on startup as far as I can tell
[01:10] <unagi> its a matter of having to manually start gdm after stopping it
[01:10] <unagi> i shouldnt have to do that
[01:10] <anto9us> ztomic: you may find the folks in #ubuntustudio know more about this stuff
[01:10] <stefg> Enron: you might be missing autoconf , and you might not be in the right dir when trying to build the module. you have obviously no symlink from /usr/src/linux-2.6.15 to /usr/src/linux. and i think acronis should do the support for that
[01:10] <TaJMoX> unagi you still havent told us what output you get... and that's all we keep asking for
[01:10] <unagi> even if i do stop then start.........it doesnt start unless i type it in the virtual console
[01:10] <unagi> TaJMoX:
[01:10] <Jordan_U> unagi, But that does work ( for debugging not practical purposes ) ?
[01:10] <unagi> TaJMoX:  tell me where i can get this oputput
[01:10] <slimil> .
[01:10] <ztomic> anto9us: thanx!
[01:10] <unagi> TaJMoX: what output do you want....i told you what happens
[01:10] <TaJMoX> unagi: in the terminal - right after you type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:11] <TaJMoX> unagi: then what do you see???
[01:11] <unagi> once again
[01:11] <unagi> for the tenth time
[01:11] <TaJMoX> nope
[01:11] <unagi> it takes me to the virtual console
[01:11] <unagi> and sits there
[01:11] <TaJMoX> i havent heard that
[01:11] <Jordan_U> unagi, But that does work ( for debugging not practical purposes ) ?
[01:11] <TaJMoX> you said something about initialization which donesnt make sense
[01:11] <ozzman> Jordan_U: i'm getting " Composite extension is not available"
[01:11] <TaJMoX> unagi:  it immediately takes you back to the $ prompt?
[01:11] <joshritger> anto9us: I checked and there is nothing related to firestarter running on startup.
[01:11] <unagi> you know the screen where it starts initializing different things and on the right of each line it says [ok] ?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> unagi, Then it may be that the script stops when the terminal that spawned it stops ( along with X )
[01:12] <unagi> itll do it when i manually type restart Jordan_U
[01:12] <unagi> the only time it doesnt stall at the prompt is when i do the keystroke
[01:12] <Jordan_U> unagi, Try running it from screen or from a virtual terminal ( go to a terminal before stopping X and run the restart command )
[01:13] <unagi> which command
[01:13] <anto9us> joshritger: no, it's embedded in the kernel and firestarter is just a configuration tool
[01:13] <optimus55> QUESTION: is it possible to get to root terminal from inside ubuntu 7.04 live cd?
[01:13] <unagi> init.d/gdm?

[01:13] <unagi> !X
[01:13] <kritical> I'm testing a transparent proxy on my ubuntu machine... can anyone tell me how to setup iptables to forward all tcp requests on port 80 to a different IP:Port?

[01:16] <IndyLucian> if i just want to download a package, what apt-get command would i use? the man page said i would use -d but it didn't tell me which command to use (i.e. apt-get install, apt-get download, etc)
[01:16] <infamouskid> tajmox : how do i get my top and bottom panels back?
[01:16] <TaJMoX> Ki4ikl - have you tried using the nv driver?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> ozzman, You can run Compiz but you need to install XGL ( which is a hack only needed for ati cards because ATI makes horrible linux drivers )
[01:17] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: your nvidia card has turbocache?
[01:17] <optimus55> facugaich: thanks a lot!
[01:17] <Warbo> IndyLucian: sudo apt-get -d install packagename
[01:17] <KI4IKL> It does it on the NV driver
[01:17] <KI4IKL> it's me dummy
[01:17] <pike_> KI4IKL: grep -i xid /var/log/messages  or maybe dmesg | grep -i xid  do you get any lines?
[01:17] <TaJMoX> infamouskid - they disapeared when you ran beryl??
[01:17] <unagi_> TaJMoX:  you dont have to patronize my situation
[01:17] <KI4IKL> I don't know if it does
[01:17] <KI4IKL> pike_, do that when it freezees or now?
[01:17] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: i had an nvidia with turbocache, that has the same problem
[01:17] <IndyLucian> Warbo, thanks. . . now how can i specify a location to download? "use > location/name" at the end?
[01:17] <ozzman> Jordan_U: Recommended?
[01:17] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, thanks that worked well
[01:17] <TaJMoX> unagi_ then dont get upset at us for trying to help you
[01:17] <joshritger> anto9us: that command does nothing as far as I can tell
[01:17] <infamouskid> tajmox :  well the top panel that one that says applications places systems is there. but the bottom one that displays my running programs and multi desktop manager is missing
[01:17] <pike_> KI4IKL: ive had a terrible time with the newer nvidia drivers. using nv right now. whenever you can get to a terminal
[01:18] <stefg> !apt
[01:18] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[01:18] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, Wall screen or both?
[01:18] <ilu> slimil
[01:18] <Warbo> IndyLucian: I don't think you can. The packages all get downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:18] <unagi_> im not upset at anyone TaJMoX......im annoyed that you dont read the lines given to you
[01:18] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, the wall bit
[01:18] <pike_> KI4IKL: see if they are there then test and see if you have the problem with nv
[01:18] <TaJMoX> infamous - you can make a new panel ... maybe it got deleted?
[01:18] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: on the bios you can check, if there is sharing ram.
[01:18] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, how would the screen thing work?
[01:18] <KI4IKL> yeah, didn't get any lines, pike_
[01:18] <TaJMoX> unagi_:  you pay me and i'll read faster
[01:18] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, echo msg or what?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> ozzman, I personally don't use Compiz because it would require me to use XGL, but many people do
[01:18] <anto9us> joshritger: should show a lot of packet activity, maybe your device isn't eth0, type ifconfig to see your network devices
[01:18] <KI4IKL> mariocesar_bo, how did you fix the problem?
[01:19] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: i fix it, down the to 16MB the video ram
[01:19] <unagi_> or you could just not respond to anything i say TaJMoX since you have nothing constructive to say anyway
[01:19] <joshritger> it is eth0 though I checked
[01:19] <LDZ420> what do I need to do to make a cron job work?
[01:19] <KI4IKL> down the what?
[01:19] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, No, you would just both be at the same Bash shell
[01:19] <LDZ420> cron!
[01:19] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: i don't "fix it", just it's less usual to freeze
[01:19] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, run "screen" then have him run "screen -x"
[01:19] <LDZ420> sorry chat
[01:19] <infamouskid> tajmox : no its there i can click and drag the icons of programs that are running up its like it went off screen?
[01:19] <joshritger> anto9us: it is eth0 I checked
[01:19] <unagi_> Jordan_U: is there any reason why the keystroke would work but the command wouldnt
[01:20] <LDZ420> !cron
[01:20] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, would using echo work for sending a msg?
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, in a screen that is
[01:20] <rubsty> Does anyone know of any good bluetooth device scanners out there that I can install via apt-get ?
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, this is cool, gotta try it
[01:20] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, In screen you wouldn't need to use echo, just try it, it will make sense when you do
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, it would solve some problems that i am having with techs not being able to colab
[01:20] <Warbo> can someone please give me a find command line which will give any paths to a specified filename? I can't work out how to use it
[01:21] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, thanks very very much! :D
[01:21] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, np :)
[01:21] <ozzman> Jordan_U: I see...what would be the greatest benefit of using compiz?
[01:21] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, i love this #
[01:21] <RGautier> find / -name (filename) -print
[01:21] <russe11> screen question - if I'm running a screen session in SSH and I go to a different computer and want to connect to the same screen session, how can I? Do I have to disconnect the first one somehow? How?
[01:21] <pike_> Warbo: find <startdir> -name *.txt   to find from / youd do sudo find / -name *.txt
[01:21] <FuM> How do I get win to run on Ubuntu?
[01:21] <anto9us> joshritger: that command should show something next time it sees traffic
[01:21] <joshritger> ok
[01:22] <Warbo> RGautier, pike_: Thank you :)
[01:22] <khamer> on
[01:22] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: how did you fix it ?
[01:22] <infamouskid> tajmox : lol if i go to the lower left corner off screen i have a baloon that says click here to hide all windows from the desktop.. lol u know which panel i am talkin abour now?
[01:22] <Jordan_U> ozzman, There are some productivity features like an expose like effect but it's mostly useless eye candy
[01:22] <joshritger> anto9us: is irc enough traffic?
[01:22] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo:  the mouse problem
[01:22] <anto9us> joshritger: I'll try and ssh to you and see if it shows
[01:22] <mariocesar_bo> Mario Csar: KI4IKL: i fix it, down the to 16MB the video ram
[01:22] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: maybe try killall gnome-panel      or editing the panel?
[01:22] <Justi1> How can I make Armagetron Advanced startup in ubuntu? I installed it and ran armagetronad, but nothing loads.
[01:22] <mariocesar_bo> down the ram on the bios
[01:23] <Jordan_U> unagi, I believe that /etc/init.d/gdm start is run at boot so I have no idea why it wouldn't work if it works at boot
[01:23] <infamouskid> tajmox : i think linux is displaying a resolution not supported by my monitor how can i change this?
[01:23] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: lower the video ram ?
[01:23] <codecaine> is there a program to convert video files to .smv files?
[01:23] <anto9us> joshritger: good news, it's not letting me in :)

[01:23] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: do you know your monitor's horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates?
[01:24] <Warbo> perfect thanks
[01:24] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: lower the video ram by 16MB ?
[01:24] <joshritger> anto9us: that is good, I just don't understand why it seems like it isn't there
[01:24] <infamouskid> tajmox : well in windows i used 1280 x 768 and the refresh was 75hz
[01:24] <Justi1> How can I make Armagetron Advanced startup in ubuntu? I installed it and ran armagetronad, but nothing loads.
[01:24] <mariocesar_bo> TaJMoX: yes, there is a problem with the turbocache, it shares memorie of the video card with the ram of the motherboard
[01:25] <mariocesar_bo> Holy Jesus !!!
[01:25] <anto9us> joshritger: I suspect it is, firestarter will configure iptables for you which is built into the kernel
[01:25] <mariocesar_bo> i erase the xorg.conf !
[01:25] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: ok so check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure the refresh is set to 75hz    and also check the mode lines to see if you have 1280x768
[01:25] <joshritger> anto9us: would a router block you from acccessing me?

[01:25] <joshritger> anto9us: a wireless router
[01:25] <mariocesar_bo> man ! help ! how can i get it back ... i delete him with rm :S:S:S
[01:25] <anto9us> joshritger: yes, a router has a built in firewall
[01:25] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: you don't have a backup ?
[01:25] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh

[01:26] <joshritger> anto9us: I am on a wireless router with firewall, but that might be why you couldn't get to me, I am still not sure if firestarter is working though
[01:26] <joshritger> LOL
[01:26] <mariocesar_bo> nooo, i don't have it ... i want to erase the backups files :S and erase by mistake all the files :'(
[01:26] <badkitty> !hot-babe
[01:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hot-babe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:26] <badkitty> what is hot-babe?
[01:26] <mariocesar_bo> i had a lot ! of configuration on that file !
[01:26] <anto9us> joshritger: my best guess is that it's working so you're doubly protected
[01:27] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, The command I gave will recreate the file, without your customization though :(
[01:27] <mariocesar_bo> it happend a second ago, can i recover it ? :(
[01:27] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: you should sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[01:27] <joshritger> anto9us: ok, I just wanted to make sure it was working before I switch routers because the new one might not have a firewall as it is from our service provider and not somethign I purchased
[01:27] <anto9us> joshritger: also of note is that ubuntu doesn't run any open network services by default
[01:27] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, If the file is still actually being read by X then yes, but I doubt that it is and it would be hard to recover anyways
[01:27] <mariocesar_bo> mmm,  but, but ... the desktop it's still running ... it has to be a way to recover the settings, no?
[01:28] <joshritger> anto9us: ok, that is good to know. I know it is more secure than windows, but I wasn't sure what I need to do for more protection
[01:28] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, What sort of customization did you have?
[01:28] <mariocesar_bo> Jordan_U: yes ! it still being read it.
[01:28] <joshritger> anto9us: Thanks for the help
[01:29] <mariocesar_bo> for my nvidia card, all the modelines, and the configuration of my monitor
[01:29] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, Are you sure of that, just because X is still running doesn't mean that it still has the file open
[01:29] <Vietnow> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu ff, can anyone assist me with this??
[01:29] <kristofer> word
[01:29] <mariocesar_bo> Jordan_U: i am using the X, right now, it happend a two seconds ago

[01:31] <kristofer> I've got a dell latitude d610. I'm trying to use 915resolution to get the native 1400x1050 resolution.  Any tips?
[01:31] <adrian> HELP!! i can't seem to make any of my archive managers to extract rar files, god, i must be incompetent!
[01:31] <unagi_> what is the actual comand issued when you press ctrl + alt + backspace
[01:31] <luisin> thx, stefg.
[01:31] <mariocesar_bo> there is a file on the X11 directory, .xorg.conf.swp
[01:31] <anto9us> adrian: sudo apt-get install unrar-free
[01:31] <robby> unagi_:  restarts xserver
[01:32] <unagi_> i know what it does im asking for the command that is issued
[01:32] <mariocesar_bo> but it's illegible
[01:32] <infamouskid_> tajmox : WBWBHAHAHA nevermind bud i fixed it
[01:32] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: you can go into gconf-editor and in Apps->Panel->Toplevels->Panel_1 change the y to something like -40 or 40  to see where it goes  ...?
[01:32] <timewriter> hi
[01:32] <lns> Does anyone know a ballpark estimate as to when the 2.6.22 kernel will hit Feisty?
[01:32] <timewriter> how do i install a startup manager on feisty ?
[01:32] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: or various options like "orientation"
[01:32] <Jordan_U> lns, Never
[01:32] <adrian> adrian@adrian-laptop:~$  sudo apt-get install unrar-free

[01:32] <adrian> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:32] <lns> Jordan_U, well that answers my question. ;)
[01:32] <infamouskid_> tajmox : all i did was change the resolution to the one i listed and bam i was able to dock properly
[01:32] <stefg> lns: never, 2.622 will be in !gutsy
[01:33] <Jordan_U> adrian, Close synaptic
[01:33] <timewriter> adrian, there is another pat process running
[01:33] <timewriter> apt* i mean
[01:33] <adrian> ok
[01:33] <lns> So how about a ballpark estimate as to when Gutsy will be declared stable?
[01:33] <kristofer> unagi_, it's not a command line application, it's a keyboard combination to kill X. kinda like ctrl-c kills command line apps
[01:33] <anto9us> adrian: you're possibly running synaptic, you can install it from there too
[01:33] <Jordan_U> lns, 7.10 :)
[01:33] <infamouskid_> tajmox :  is there a way i can update the linux driver for my monitor so i can get higher resolution?

[01:35] <Jordan_U> RkyRaccoon, Native resolution
[01:35] <tomcommathe> Hey All
[01:35] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: depends on your videocard and display too

[01:35] <timewriter> thanks anto9us
[01:35] <Vietnow> just a second lemme check
[01:35] <mariocesar_bo> Jordan_U: ok, but the file .xorg.conf.swp, what it is ?
[01:35] <Jordan_U> unagi, Why can't you have it run stop then start?
[01:35] <kristofer> I'm sure I'd like 1400x1050 if it would work. anyone use a dell d610 with 915resolution?
[01:36] <TaJMoX> unagi_ try a forum or google
[01:36] <gnychis> can someone explain these keyring errors to me: http://rafb.net/p/t11eXy88.html
[01:36] <tomcommathe> I am brand new to Ubuntu, and I am a question about copying files to the file system. For whatever reason, it won't allow me to do this... Why?
[01:36] <Vietnow> I have 512 mb ram
[01:36] <unagi_> TaJMoX:  i asked you not to respond to me
[01:36] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon - there are 3 ATI drivers - fglrx - ati - radeon
[01:36] <unagi_> is there a way to block users in irc?
[01:36] <makaira> I'm having trouble formatting my new external harddrive. I installed GParted and it won't give me the option to format, the option is just greyed out.
[01:36] <jgoguen> unagi_: You can have a script to restart X, simply have it give the command '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' and run it with sudo

[01:36] <ubotu> tomcommathe: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:36] <TaJMoX> unagi_ /ignore TaJMoX
[01:36] <Jordan_U> unagi, /ignore though he isn't being that bad
[01:37] <timewriter> ill reboot and see what happens
[01:37] <unagi_> jgoguen the problem is that it doesnt actually
[01:37] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, is the radeon or ati from ati's site?
[01:37] <unagi_> restart
[01:37] <unagi_> it hangs at the terminal and i have to restart it myself
[01:37] <anto9us> tomcommathe: yes, you don't have permissions, by default a user only has privilege to write to their home folder, the system is protecting you from yourself :)
[01:37] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: I beleive the "ati" driver is the official one from the amd/ati website - not sure.   fglrx always works for me
[01:37] <Jordan_U> unagi, Why can't you have it run stop then start?
[01:37] <unagi_> because it hangs at the terminal
[01:37] <unagi_> every command ive tried stops at the terminal
[01:37] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, im on fglrx but it doesnt support 1680x1050 does it?
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: probably because the command is run within the context of Gnome, which is killed on restart, which means the restart command is killed by restarting
[01:38] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: That's what I use
[01:38] <Jordan_U> unagi, If you can start it yourself then a script can do what you are doing
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will do the trick
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: and is so much faster and better than a script
[01:38] <unagi_> thats why i dont understand why it isnt actually restarting
[01:38] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, did you just add it to xorg.conf?
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: I just told you why
[01:38] <makaira> Does anybody know why GParted isn't giving me the option to format my external?
[01:38] <Justi1> When I open 'Services settings', a blank window opens and it just sits there. How can I fix this?
[01:38] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: After I installed fglrx - I got my 1680x1050 resolution automagically
[01:39] <unagi_> soso when gnome is killed the script is therefore killed after gnome is killed?
[01:39] <Jordan_U> unagi, Try looking at the actual script and the difference between restart and stop and start
[01:39] <jgoguen> unagi_: exactly
[01:39] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, isnt fglrx the default ati driver for ubuntu?
[01:39] <jgoguen> unagi_: which is why it doesn't come up
[01:39] <robby> anyone write an algorithm for the folloeing 2 lines of code
[01:39] <unagi_> that doesnt make sense actually because ubotu even says re
[01:39] <unagi_> !X
[01:39] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:39] <timewriter> works
[01:39] <RkyRaccoon> !fglrx
[01:39] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:39] <Jordan_U> unagi, That is what I said but you said that running it in screen didn't work either
[01:39] <Justi1> When I open 'Services settings', a blank window opens and it just sits there. How can I fix this?
[01:40] <unagi_> running it in script or in virtual terminal or in terminal just hangs at the virtual terminal
[01:40] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: no
[01:40] <jgoguen> unagi_: console, not terminal
[01:40] <jgoguen> unagi_: there's a difference
[01:40] <timewriter> anto9us, does bum manage grub splash ?
[01:40] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, that could be where i went wrong
[01:40] <Tu3sday> greetings, my ubuntu just locked up and froze completely TWICE, anyway I can diagnose this problem?
[01:40] <unagi_> console....terminal.....doesnt work either way
[01:40] <Vietnow> Guys, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my sisters laptop, but after I click "run live cd or install" on the live disc, it starts to load up the os, the desktop wallpaper shows up aswell as a mouse icon  but then it does nothing else.. it just freezes from there, can someone Private message me, this room moves very quickly <<
[01:40] <anto9us> timewriter: sorry, I don't know
[01:40] <timewriter> its ok , its sorted anyway
[01:40] <jgoguen> unagi_: are you using Ubuntu?  I just tried it now on my laptop and from console, Gnome stopped and started again
[01:40] <timewriter> how do i change nautilus splash ?
[01:40] <robby> lTimeOut=Session.Timeout
[01:40] <robby> Session.TimeOut = x
[01:40] <unagi_> yes im using ubuntu
[01:41] <FurryNemesis> hi all
[01:41] <jgoguen> unagi_: but from terminal, it stopped and stayed there
[01:41] <RkyRaccoon> anyone here tried kubuntu?
[01:41] <Shadow_Warrior> Justi1: Man were you with the nick Justi2 yesterday?
[01:41] <Jack_Flash>  Vietnow What boot options have you tried?  Have you done the disk selftest for errors?
[01:41] <unagi_> from the terminal it stops X and takes me to the virtual terminal and stops
[01:41] <Shadow_Warrior> or two days ago...
[01:41] <TaJMoX> rkyraccoon - sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx ; sudo aticonfig --initial ; aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[01:41] <jgoguen> unagi_: remember, console is accessed with Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2, etc
[01:41] <unagi_> yes
[01:41] <unagi_> and from the terminal or consol
[01:41] <Vietnow> yes Jack_Flash, Everything is fine
[01:41] <unagi_> restarting X doesnt start it again
[01:41] <Vietnow> I've actually ran the live boot on another computer,
[01:42] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, thanks
[01:42] <Vietnow> it stops just befor everything loads up
[01:42] <gtroy> anyone give recommendations for eye candy desktop things for a 8mb video card?
[01:42] <Shadow_Warrior> Justi1: if yes... the other guy that used an ATI card found a way to make it work if I remember well. If you remember his name he could help you.
[01:42] <TaJMoX> jgoguen - ask him to re-boot - it should work after that
[01:42] <Jack_Flash> People sorry for the nick changes... I messed up with the wheel mouse
[01:42] <unagi_> here i will run /etc/init.d/?dm restart from the terminal
[01:42] <robby> anyone
[01:42] <mariocesar_bo> mmm i want to know, why the new files i create with sudo has root:plugdev on the proporties insteed root:root, Why?
[01:42] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: gotta love the Windows solution :)
[01:42] <Jack_Flash>  Vietnow What boot options have you tried?
[01:43] <jgoguen> unagi_: no, not ?dm
[01:43] <TaJMoX> jgoguen - hes a windows user
[01:43] <Vietnow> Live cd, and I've tryed the safe graphics mode
[01:43] <robby> Algorithim for - - - -lTimeOut=Session.Timeout
[01:43] <robby> Session.TimeOut = x
[01:43] <Jordan_U> unagi, You don't happen to have kdm installed also do you
[01:43] <Jordan_U> ?
[01:43] <Vietnow> Is it possible for me to delete windows xp, and then install ubuntu
[01:43] <unagi> that didnt work
[01:43] <Jack_Flash> Vietnow: may I msg you?
[01:43] <sean_> !fglrx
[01:43] <gnychis> whats the best way to get gnome-keyring-manager to start every boot?
[01:43] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:43] <unagi> not to my knowledge Jordan_U
[01:43] <Vietnow> straight from the disc?
[01:43] <FurryNemesis> quick question : how do I manually insert icons (.png format) into the appropriate folder for them to appear as an icon set in the theme preferences?
[01:43] <Vietnow> yes
[01:43] <Vietnow> please
[01:44] <unagi> no it isnt
[01:44] <coopster> I want to have 'umount /dev/usbkey' run a script before unmounting, is that possible?
[01:44] <gtroy> unagi: use /etc/intt.d/gdm restart
[01:44] <Vietnow> I think I need to register or something
[01:44] <Jordan_U> gnychis, Are you trying to keep network manager from asking for a passwd every login?
[01:44] <jgoguen> unagi_: ubotu says '?dm' since you could use gdm or kdm depending on what's there...in your case with Gnome, you would use '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' and NOT ?dm
[01:44] <TaJMoX> FurryNemesis: Look at /usr/share/icons
[01:45] <robby> fine
[01:45] <FurryNemesis> TaJMoX, tried that, it doesn't seem to be it
[01:45] <Jordan_U> jgoguen, Actually Bash interprets the ? as a wild card and it just works :)
[01:45] <ma-t> #talca
[01:45] <TaJMoX> jgoguen: ?dm should do the same thing
[01:45] <tomcommathe> Okay, so I am still lost... Sorry, like I said, this is my first time using this OS (And haven't played in Linux for years) How do I gain write permissions into a File System folder?
[01:45] <gtroy> I want desktop candy for an old laptop
[01:45] <gnychis> Jordan_U: right, nm-applet keeps asking me for a pass
[01:45] <TaJMoX> FurryNemesis: that's where all your icon themes are.
[01:45] <gtroy> !permissions
[01:45] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:45] <makaira> I'm trying to format an external harddrive from the terminal and it is saying "No partition is defined yet!" when I type the "d," or delete, command.
[01:45] <makaira> Anybody know what's up?
[01:45] <Vietnow> Jack_Sparrow it will not let me private message you because I'm not a registered user, just wait a little bit
[01:46] <gravemind> hey, how can I make my ubuntu startup as fast as my windows partition?
[01:46] <Vietnow> then I'll message you
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Vietnow:   /j #Vietnow
[01:46] <TaJMoX> tomcommathe - EXAMPLE: sudo gedit /etc/filename
[01:46] <unagi> i just dont get it
[01:46] <Jordan_U> gnychis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager see automatic keyring
[01:46] <unagi> gdm restart doesnt help because its not restarting x server
[01:46] <gtroy> unagi:
[01:46] <TaJMoX> gravemind: dont turn it off
[01:46] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: I see...guess I'm just too used to my days on earlier versions of OpenBSD where such a thing didn't always work
[01:46] <unagi> gnome lets me know there is already x server running
[01:46] <FurryNemesis> TaJMoX, I don't see some of them, not the actual desktop icons - is there another folder for ones that have been installed ?
[01:46] <nerdygirl_ellie> Hi everybody!
[01:46] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: thx for letting me know
[01:46] <gtroy> type ctrl alt backspace to restart X
[01:46] <gravemind> TaJMoX: loudish fan...
[01:46] <unagi> thanks gtroy
[01:46] <Hyarion2> has anyone had issues with adding an mp3 profile to Sound Juicer? No matter how many times I try when I change the pipeline, the profile disappears from the list.
[01:46] <gtroy> yup
[01:46] <gravemind> bright leds, etc.
[01:47] <unagi> gtroy now tell me a command to do the same thing
[01:47] <gnychis> Jordan_U: awesome, i'll check that out thanks
[01:47] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, is installing fglrx from the restricted drivers manager any different from doing it with your command line codes?
[01:47] <TaJMoX> jgoguen - well this is bash
[01:47] <gtroy> terminal command?
[01:47] <unagi> yup
[01:47] <Jordan_U> gravemind, hibernate, make boot run scripts in parallel
[01:47] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: won't sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart do it?
[01:47] <gtroy> why would you want that unagi ?
[01:47] <gtroy> to stop it completely?
[01:48] <unagi> heres what id ultimately like to do.......write a script that switches my xorg.conf restarts x server kills avant window navigator and opens maya
[01:48] <nerdygirl_ellie> How do I change my default runlevel from 5 to 3?
[01:48] <gtroy> ok
[01:48] <unagi> is that possible?
[01:49] <martoss> hi there
[01:49] <unagi> i didnt think this was really such a hard thing to do
[01:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, Have it startx instead of gdm * be careful to su first if the script is run as root*
[01:49] <unagi> /etc/init.d/X start?
[01:49] <gtroy> $sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, It isn't when it works :)
[01:49] <TaJMoX> FurryNemesis: ~/.Icons or ~/.icons
[01:49] <unagi> lol yea Jordan_U youre not kidding
[01:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, No, just "startx"
[01:49] <nerdygirl_ellie> Do you specify the window manager in the Xorg.conf?  I didn't know that.
[01:49] <FurryNemesis> thanks
[01:50] <martoss> i need a x86_64 opensuse in a ubuntu x86_64. Xen is not an option, since i need 2.6.22 from gutsy here.
[01:50] <martoss> what do you recommend?
[01:50] <Jordan_U> unagi, But again, since your script is running as root and you DO NOT want to start x as root be carefull
[01:50] <martoss> is there sth like debootstrap?
[01:50] <gtroy> unagi: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-desktop-x-windows/1250-stop-x.html
[01:50] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: restricted drivers manager might work for you - try it - it didnt for me
[01:50] <bulmer> nerdygirl_ellie: nope thats not where it is defined
[01:51] <Jordan_U> !debootstrap | martoss
[01:51] <ubotu> martoss: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.

[01:51] <martoss> Jordan_U, i know
[01:51] <nerdygirl_ellie> Didn't think so.  Is it in .xsession or something?
[01:51] <martoss> just was asking if sth similar exists for rpm based distros
[01:52] <bulmer> nerdygirl_ellie: something like that or maybe Xdefaults
[01:52] <Biteyni> Hello all!
[01:52] <Jordan_U> martoss, Why ask in #ubuntu?
[01:52] <unagi_> says something like unknown process X
[01:52] <martoss> the problem is, that intel vtune and fortran compilers won't intall in ubuntu. So i just wanna install them in a changeroot.
[01:52] <Jordan_U> unagi, just "startx" nothing else
[01:52] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: telinit
[01:52] <unagi_> ok brb
[01:52] <Biteyni> I have a problem when trying to install ubuntu (first time) The CD is fine the iso image is fine burn was good
[01:52] <martoss> Jordan_U, i was more asking for an xen alternative working with gutsy'S 2.6.22 kernel
[01:53] <unagi_> wait what kills x
[01:53] <unagi_> stopx?
[01:53] <Jordan_U> unagi, No
[01:53] <Stwange> ive got trouble with my sound card, whenever i use it, it squeals, only happens with ubuntu, any suggestions?
[01:53] <unagi_> whats the command for killing x
[01:53] <Biteyni> the screen loads up to where i have to chose in safe graphics mode
[01:53] <Biteyni> i press enter to go to graphics mode
[01:53] <TaJMoX> unagi_ it is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    you already know this
[01:53] <vladuz976> when I edit /etc/resolv.conf it doesn`t retain the changes after reboot? how can I make it keep the settings i want? I think "network manager" changes it
[01:53] <shiester_miester> Stwange, what sound card is it?
[01:54] <mroc> hello.  i'm having two issues - one that's very important, the other is fairly minor.  Big issue:  i'm getting (seemingly) random glitches in the display and don't know where i should be looking to find error messages or how to begin troubleshooting.   Small issue:  i can see shared music in rhythmbox and amarok.  it plays fine in rhythmbox, but i get connection errors in amarok.  any help (with either issue) is very appreciated
[01:54] <Biteyni> the screen says loading kernel and then the screen stays black
[01:54] <vladuz976> unagi, cntr alt backspace
[01:54] <Optimus55> can anyone explain to me? i use a dial connection, but once i plug in my ethernet jack, my dial up connection breaks, any ideas?
[01:54] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: did that work ?
[01:54] <nerdygirl_ellie> vladuz976: Hi.  Your dhcp agent is overwriting it.  one sec, I'll tell you how to change it.
[01:54] <Stwange> shiester_miester, it's onboard with the A8V-VM
[01:54] <makaira> I need help with an external harddrive. The external has hidden partitions and fdisk isn't letting me format the harddrive. Any way I can fix this?!?
[01:54] <glLoadIdentity> hi all, i have a double click problem with my mouse.. i am using 6.10 and whenever i use the left button, it clicks 2 times.. and i dont have 2 mouse devices in my xorg.conf
[01:55] <Biteyni> if anybody can point me in the right direction to where i can solve my problem.. i'm thinking it has to do with graphics card but dunno
[01:55] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, its probably trying to change from one to the other, dropping the connection
[01:55] <TaJMoX> makaira - have you tried gparted
[01:55] <unagi_> i dont think gdm restart or stop stops x
[01:55] <makaira> TaJMoX: Yes, it doesn't even give me the option to format. The function is greyed out.
[01:55] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, works like a charm thanks
[01:56] <Biteyni> anybody?
[01:56] <unagi_> because startx gave a fatal server error for theres already x running on display 0 and gdm start tells me x is already running
[01:56] <makaira> TaJMoX: It does show me that there are about 10 partitions + 1 unallocated partition before the actual partition begins.
[01:56] <TaJMoX> makaira: probably because the partition is mounted - umount it first
[01:56] <Optimus55> shiester_miester: any idea how to stop that. like stop the default gateway from changing or so?
[01:56] <rolfen> makaira: you have 10 partitions on your drive?
[01:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> vladuz976: found it.  gksu gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add prepend domain-name-servers x.x.x.x;
[01:56] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, you can specify the gateway in the network settings
[01:56] <unagi_> no new ideas?
[01:57] <makaira> rolfen: It's a brand new external with some proprietary stuff on it.
[01:57] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, although that will probably mean that you also have to specify IP and subnet
[01:57] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: did you need to change runlevel?   did telinit work ?
[01:57] <jgoguen> unagi_: at this point, you're probably best to reboot and start trying what you've been told after a reboot...everything you've been told about /etc/init.d/gdm is correct
[01:57] <timm> anyone know how to play Videos on Ubuntu?
[01:57] <Tu3sday> help! my ubuntu keeps freezing over and over and over again!
[01:57] <Tu3sday> make it stop!
[01:57] <Biteyni> can anybody help with with my installation problem?
[01:57] <shiester_miester> timm, i do it all the time
[01:57] <nerdygirl_ellie> makaira: what command are you starting fdisk with?
[01:57] <TaJMoX> unagi_ sudo killall Xorg
[01:57] <rolfen> Tu3sday: it just freezes?
[01:57] <Justi1> When I try to install/uninstall anything with synaptic, it freezes halfway through, saying it is trying to install flash player. How can I stop this?
[01:57] <Tu3sday> rolfen: yes
[01:57] <TaJMoX> unagi_ sudo shutdown -r now
[01:58] <rolfen> Tu3sday: mouse freezes too?
[01:58] <Stwange> shiester_miester, any ideas? It's not even a little squeal I can put up with, it's louder than the music
[01:58] <Tu3sday> rolfen: i'll be typing a command and everything locks up completely, yes
[01:58] <openedu> Hi, i just upgraded from edgy to feisty and am having trouble getting my software RAID1 working again.
[01:58] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: he took my reboot idea already I think :)
[01:58] <Optimus55> is there a cmd to set the default gateway in cli?
[01:58] <jgoguen> TaJMoX:  unagi_ has quit (Client Quit)
[01:58] <Tu3sday> it could be 5 minutes after I reboot... or 20 minutes
[01:58] <nerdygirl_ellie> I know about telinit, is there a way I can change the default runlevel at boot?
[01:58] <openedu> It was previously mounting on /mnt/backed just fine, but now nothing happens
[01:58] <infamouskid_> can someone tell me the command line to open a terminal window?
[01:58] <rolfen> Tu3sday: could it be bad hardware?
[01:58] <shiester_miester> Stwange, no idea.  if you turn down the volume in the volume control panel, does the sqeal get softer?
[01:58] <Biteyni> can anybody be a good help and point at least somewhere that'll help me?
[01:58] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[01:58] <rolfen> Tu3sday: or maybe a bug in the drivers
[01:58] <Tu3sday> I don't think so
[01:58] <shiester_miester> infamouskid, thats a silly question
[01:59] <Tu3sday> I just rolled back the kernel to a previous one
[01:59] <Tu3sday> maybe that will help
[01:59] <rolfen> Tu3sday: sounds like a pretty low-level problem
[01:59] <novato_br> what s going on with this dude? http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=i3x4C1fJcUk&mode=related&search=
[01:59] <makaira> Then it says "No partition is defined yet!"
[01:59] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, thats a silly question (sorry got your name wrong)
[01:59] <mujahid> hi, i am running fiesty fawn - i need to upgrade gtk to 2.10.13 - how do i do that?
[01:59] <timm> shie mate Pm please
[01:59] <infamouskid_> shiester : no it isnt i am a noob. day 2 linux for me
[01:59] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: route add <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> gw x.x.x.x
[01:59] <Tu3sday> rolfen: i've used this system and it's hardware for a long period of time and have never had this issue
[01:59] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, oh sorry, i misread your question
[01:59] <Tu3sday> rolfen: do you know if logs will shed any light on this, if so which ones?
[02:00] <nerdygirl_ellie> TaJMoX: yes, telinit works, I'm looking for the way to do it at every boot.
[02:00] <infamouskid_> shiester_miester :  i am trying to bind a keyboard shortcut but i do not know the command line to open a terminal window to the shoortcut
[02:00] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, "gnome-terminal" or "xterm" both work, although there are lots of others too
[02:00] <infamouskid_> shiester_miester : thanks you
[02:00] <rolfen> Tu3sday: well if if freezes like this then I'm assuming that there is no log entry
[02:00] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, i highly recommend that you install "tilda" its very useful terminal application
[02:00] <nerdygirl_ellie> makaira: That's weird.  Could it be that the partition is mounted?  It is a shot in the dark.
[02:00] <JFreak> hello everybody
[02:00] <Tu3sday> rolfen: :(
[02:01] <rolfen> Tu3sday: But I dont know... maybe someone else can help
[02:01] <shiester_miester> gday JFreak
[02:01] <JFreak> can somebody help me? how make to beryl start automatic every time i login my session ??
[02:01] <infamouskid_> man i dont understand why
[02:01] <Stwange> shiester_miester, dunno, it's not making any sound now :S ah well ill come back next time it does :)
[02:01] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: One sec, I may be making some progress.
[02:01] <bulmer> nerdygirl_ellie: look at /etc/inittab
[02:01] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: Ubuntu doesn't use the regular init - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Ubuntu_Linux
[02:01] <shiester_miester> JFreak, menu -> system -> preferences -> sessions
[02:01] <rolfen> Tu3sday: what I would have done is made sure all the drivers are up to date and maybe try to disable some hardware...
[02:01] <nerdygirl_ellie> bulmer: thanks!  That's the file.
[02:01] <infamouskid_> so much you can do with linux.. i am starting to even wonder why linux is not in all office computers
[02:02] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: if its a dial connection, how do i set default gateway to be whatever dynamic gateway gets set on device ttyUSB0?
[02:02] <TaJMoX> ubuntu doesnt use inittab
[02:02] <rolfen> Tu3sday: sorry, I'm no big help
[02:02] <shiester_miester> Stwange, try playing with the volumes a bit, and some of the other settings in the volume control panel thingo
[02:02] <TaJMoX> bulmer
[02:02] <bulmer> TaJMoX: sure it does
[02:02] <Tu3sday> rolfen: well i appreciate the input regardless
[02:02] <TaJMoX> bulmer - nah =]
[02:02] <Tu3sday> rolfen: I did a apt-get update and ugprade so i think everything is as up2date as it can  be
[02:02] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, theres nothing u can really do with linux that you can't do with other OSes, it just has some different functionality implemented
[02:02] <JFreak> shiester_miester what have to do in preferences ??
[02:03] <infamouskid_> tajmox shiester : thanks you both.. i learned a lot today. even as a noob.. btw tajmox i fixed the resolution prob i had to make a script
[02:03] <shiester_miester> JFreak, i dont know, specifically, just have a fiddle with things
[02:03] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: instead of gw x.x.xx use dev ppp0 or whatever the name of the interface is.
[02:03] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, you dont have to thank me, i barely said anything
[02:03] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: K, I think I made progress clearing it out. Now I am trying to format it in GParted and I'm not sure what "labeltype" I should give it. I'm trying to format it as ext3.
[02:03] <JFreak> thks
[02:03] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: no prob - congratz =]
[02:03] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, and the reason it isnt in most offices is because nobody can be bothered to learn it.  m$ software is "good enough"
[02:03] <infamouskid_> shiester : you still asnwered me.. most ppl wont even help beginners lik eme
[02:03] <rolfen> Tu3sday: did you check the smart status of you hard drives?
[02:03] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: man route has some examples.
[02:03] <f00bar2k> what do I need to add to my config files to get php handling .php files in apache?
[02:03] <TaJMoX> bulmer: mind showing me your /etc/inittab ?
[02:04] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, yeah pretty much everyone does...thats what this channel is for
[02:04] <Tu3sday> rolfen: smart status, im afraid I don't know what that is, I do however have a Removable External USB 2.0 HDD
[02:04] <TaJMoX> bulmer: because none of my ubuntu computers have it.   ubuntu has 2 runlevels
[02:04] <shiester_miester> f00bar2k, i would think that php handles .php files by default
[02:04] <shiester_miester> timm, i sent you a pm, why dont you reply?
[02:04] <f00bar2k> shiester_miester, i would have thought so too! :)
[02:04] <shiester_miester> f00bar2k, :/
[02:04] <infamouskid_> shiester yajmos : to be honest the only reason i installed linux is becuase i got pissed off that i spent 900 bucks on an os 2 days ago only to see after the format that my hard ware was not compatible
[02:04] <Tu3sday> rolfen: but it's been in use with this system long term - never had an issue really.... doesn't rule that device out
[02:04] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: I think it's MSDOS labeltype. Any ideas as to why the partition shows up as 289GB rather than the full 320GB?
[02:04] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, vista?
[02:04] <infamouskid_> shiester : yah...
[02:05] <infamouskid_> shiester : im pissed but happy now
[02:05] <LucianIndy> im using Tilda, and for some reason, the text in the terminal is formatted all weird. Example: the word Ghost. The G and h will be super close to each other, overlapping sometimes, but the the o and s will be spaced apart then the t will be right up on the s's butt
[02:05] <robsomebody> hello #ubuntu
[02:05] <LucianIndy> its really annoying and hard to read. how do i fix this
[02:05] <rolfen> Tu3sday: yeah. smart is a technology to monitor the health of your hard drive.
[02:05] <shiester_miester> !hi | robsomebody
[02:05] <ubotu> robsomebody: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:05] <TaJMoX> bulmer nerdygirlellie - Runlevel 1: Single User Mode - Runlevel 2: GDM boot
[02:05] <nerdygirl_ellie> makaira: not sure if this is much help, but "Labels" let you mount a partition without keeping track of the location.  i.e. Label="yadayada" in the /etc/fstab instead of /dev/sda1
[02:05] <Motorsport3> Hello, I just installed feisty on a desktop w/ a SB Audigy card, but none of my sound works. How do I get this working?
[02:05] <nerdygirl_ellie> TaJMoX: Thanks.  I'm reading it now.
[02:05] <kapace> hello, how do i change file attributes?
[02:05] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: i keep getting unknown host
[02:05] <infamouskid_> shiester : could you believe this is the first time today i ever knew what irc was?
[02:06] <loca|host> my beryl is no more working after upgrading to feisty
[02:06] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, irc is pretty obscure
[02:06] <shiester_miester> loca|host, reinstall beryl then
[02:06] <Optimus55> route add <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev ttyUSB0  --> unknown host
[02:06] <unagi> i restarted....i ran sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart......it blanks the screen.......takes me to a screen with a bunch of lines like starting bluetooth [ok]  and just sits there
[02:06] <gravemin1> Jordan_U: how do you make the boot scripts run in parallel
[02:06] <robsomebody> kapace, what do you mean file attribs? like read/write/xicute?
[02:06] <unagi> so where exactly did i go wrong
[02:06] <kapace> ya
[02:06] <infamouskid_> BRB
[02:06] <Optimus55> route add <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev ppp0 --> unknown host
[02:06] <shiester_miester> loca|host, its not like beryl has a plethora of settings :P
[02:06] <gnychis> is there a proper guide to follow for setting up XGL/Compiz or whatever the best/newest eye candy is?
[02:06] <shiester_miester> Motorsport3, in the volume control panel, does it show your sound card at all?
[02:06] <LucianIndy> any guesses?
[02:06] <shiester_miester> gnychis, yes there is
[02:06] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie to boot into single user mode just use the boot option singleuser (in grub)
[02:07] <robsomebody> kapace: you will want to use the CHMOD command
[02:07] <kapace> oo.. example?
[02:07] <robsomebody> kapace, you need to be root to use it, so you have to do like this
[02:07] <kapace> i tried chmod 777..
[02:07] <unagi> no ides huh
[02:07] <shiester_miester> gnychis, we don't provide support for that here though.  you can google it, and you can also ask in #opencompositing
[02:07] <kapace> sudo chmod..
[02:07] <bulmer> unagi: take a look at /etc/init.d/xdm  how it uses /usr/bin/X11/xdm
[02:07] <bobgill> Can someone help me with a script: http://pastebin.ca/617046    I just want to kill conky before game starts, then when game exits conky runs again.. everything but last line to start conky again works
[02:07] <oxeimon3> does anyone know how to manage multiple monitors on ubuntu
[02:07] <robsomebody> kapace, sudo 755 -R (DIR PATH)
[02:07] <oxeimon3> is there native support for that?
[02:07] <kapace> kk
[02:07] <Tama00> how come my windows network browsing doesnt work anymore:(
[02:07] <oxeimon3> I have 2 monitors
[02:07] <Motorsport3> shiester_miester: If I open the volume control from the panel, the title of the window says, "Volume Control: Audigy 1 [SB0090]  (Alsa mixer)
[02:07] <kapace> thanks
[02:08] <robsomebody> would change all directories about DIR PATH to chmod 755
[02:08] <robsomebody> kapace, do this
[02:08] <TaJMoX> bulmer - he will think you literally mean "xdm"    he is using gdm
[02:08] <robsomebody> sudo chmod --help
[02:08] <Tama00> can someone please tell me the service that lets me browse windows networks
[02:08] <John`> how can i reinstall the regular compiz from ubuntu again?
[02:08] <robsomebody> and
[02:08] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: your interface may not be called ppp0.  run ifconfig to see what the name of the interface is.
[02:08] <robsomebody> man chmod
[02:08] <unagi> bulmer how do i look at the gdm script
[02:08] <kapace> bkk
[02:08] <shiester_miester> Motorsport3, ok so its obviously working
[02:08] <kapace> or even man chmod.,.
[02:08] <unagi> i swear to god TaJMoX you really know how to talk down on someone
[02:08] <Jsp> Hey, i'm new to ubuntu, how can i install refit.deb before i install with the live cd?
[02:08] <kapace> thcxs man
[02:08] <kapace> byes
[02:08] <robsomebody> kapace, be sure to read those or you can lock yourself out of your entire hard drive reallllllly easy
[02:08] <bulmer> unagi use vim or emacs or nano
[02:09] <oxeimon3> how would I manage two monitors on ubuntu?
[02:09] <Tu3sday> rolfen: under windows I had a program that could tell me temperature and other features of my hdds in the taskbar, if that's related to smart at all... heh <---newbie
[02:09] <shiester_miester> oxeimon3, yes ubuntu can do dual-monitor setups
[02:09] <Motorsport3> shiester_miester: nope i can't hear anything, nothing is muted
[02:09] <bobgill> oxeimon3: nVidia or ATI card ?
[02:09] <oxeimon3> ATI
[02:09] <rolfen> Tu3sday: yeah it uses smart to get the temperature :)
[02:09] <bobgill> ouch, then I'm not sure :/ I use nVidia
[02:09] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: yup ppp0
[02:09] <John`> how can i reinstall ubuntu compiz, because i accidently uninstall it
[02:09] <oxeimon3> boo
[02:09] <oxeimon3> nvidia blows
[02:09] <Optimus55> Link encap Point to Point protocol
[02:09] <bobgill> lol
[02:09] <oxeimon3> shiester: how would I do that?

[02:10] <unagi> dont blame me because you dont know how to fix this problem TaJMoX
[02:10] <jgoguen> unagi: I work for a helpdesk and have never seen a user reply to someone giving them free help in this way
[02:10] <unagi> jgoguen: how exactly have i replied to you
[02:10] <TaJMoX> unagi - how many hours is it going to take to realise we can't solve your problem without more information
[02:11] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: this works for me..  sudo route add <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev ppp0
[02:11] <unagi> what information do you need.....
[02:11] <unagi> ive told you exactly what happens
[02:11] <Jordan_U> gravemin1, change CONCURRENCY=none to "CONCURRENCY=shell"
[02:11] <TaJMoX> "nothing happens"
[02:11] <TaJMoX> yeah...
[02:11] <shiester_miester> TaJMoX and unagi, stop bickering and realise the context in which you are interacting
[02:11] <unagi> thats exactly what happens
[02:11] <unagi> it sits there
[02:11] <shiester_miester> this is a support channel, not a public debate forum
[02:11] <unagi> how do you want me to word it
[02:11] <compilerwriter> unagi do you have a buddy anago?
[02:11] <unagi> please tell me
[02:11] <TaJMoX> shiester_miester: he started it - i was helping him and he started insulting me
[02:11] <unagi> ill reword it in anyway you need me to
[02:11] <unagi> want me to spell it out?
[02:11] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: oh okay. i type sudo b4 and i think it went thro. no error msg
[02:11] <Optimus55> thanks
[02:12] <unagi> i-t s-i-t-s t-h-e-r-e
[02:12] <fxfitz> I recently installed Windows Vista on a small partition on my Ubuntu laptop. However, grub no longer pops up to let me boot back in to Ubuntu. How can I fix that?
[02:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: route -n will print the route table
[02:12] <shiester_miester> TaJMoX, does it matter?  when adults have conflicts they are generally worked out through patience, tolerance and compromise
[02:12] <rolfen> unagi what sits there?
[02:12] <SlimG2> why does: sudo echo '<deb repos url>' >> /etc/apt/sources.list     give me "Permission denied" ?
[02:12] <unagi> screen blanks....takes me to where the services starts.......and sits there
[02:12] <unagi> doesnt give me gdm back
[02:12] <unagi> starting bluetooth [ok]
[02:12] <gravemin1> Jordan_U: that's it? Cool, I'll try hibernating
[02:12] <unagi> checking batterystate [ok]
[02:12] <rolfen> unagi last message on screen?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> !grub | fxfitz
[02:12] <dsgsdg> use ctrl+alt+fx and restart gdm in another terminal unagi
[02:12] <unagi> need more information?
[02:12] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: when i plug in the eth0 will that take over again?
[02:12] <rolfen> ah on
[02:12] <TaJMoX> shiester_miester: it's been hours.  i guess i do need more patience - and probably a break from #ubuntu
[02:12] <rolfen> ok
[02:13] <ubotu> fxfitz: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:13] <unagi> please TaJMoX i really want to give you the information you want
[02:13] <nerdygirl_ellie> for me it's hit or miss.  usually network manager "just works" when I plug back in.  If not it does after a reboot.
[02:13] <unagi> you just have to tell me what information youre looking for
[02:13] <unagi> want an error message?
[02:13] <unagi> there isnt one
[02:13] <shiester_miester> TaJMoX, nobody will be offended if you just take a break.  on the other hand, snapping and biting at someone can do irreperable damage
[02:13] <unagi> sorry...but theres not
[02:13] <rolfen> unagi check battery state [ok]  is the last message?
[02:13] <unagi> i believe thats the last one in the line
[02:14] <unagi> theres a whole list of things there its nothing out of the ordinary
[02:14] <dsgsdg> unagi maybe if you
[02:14] <dsgsdg> ???????  he'll understand :)
[02:14] <rolfen> unagi try booting in runlevel 1 and disabling that check battery service
[02:14] <Jsp> how can i install a program before i install, like refit.deb, if install reformats?
[02:14] <unagi> its just nothign happens until i ctrl alt f1 and login and start gdm
[02:14] <unagi> rolfen that screen is normal when i press ctrl alt backspace
[02:14] <dsgsdg>
[02:14] <dsgsdg> ???Linux ,????. ???????
[02:14] <TaJMoX> you have too many X servers running...
[02:14] <shiester_miester> brb
[02:14] <unagi> the problem is when ran by a command it doesnt go past that screen
[02:15] <Evolution2>   hi guys. i have belarc advisor and it told me that iam missing 2 critical updates for office. i followed the link and downloaded the stuff but it told me that its already installed. i don't think belarc is wrong because before it said 4 updates missing and i updated 2 security updates down to 2 when i retested. windows xp. :(
[02:15] <rolfen> unagi it sits there.. .until you do what?
[02:15] <unagi> ctrl alt f1 and type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> Evolution2: I don't think you'll get much help for that here.
[02:15] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: hey it works thanks. plugged back in ethernet and still here. issue solved
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> !offtopic
[02:15] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: Yeah!
[02:15] <rolfen> ok unagi try to disable that battery chek service
[02:15] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: :)
[02:16] <dsgsdg> evolution2, simple...click Start>Run type cmd and click ok, then type format c: /x and press enter
[02:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: mine is wierd, I sometimes have to add it manually when I use my sprint wireless card.
[02:16] <le1> Excuse me, Please have a look here,http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/2570, and tell me what's wrong with it?
[02:16] <unagi> i really dont think the check battery service is the problem
[02:16] <unagi> when i ctrl alt backspace its there too
[02:16] <unagi> but at least the keystroke brings back the gui
[02:16] <TaJMoX> gdm isnt starting because its already running in another VT
[02:17] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: that exactly it. im using evdo. had a long day tryin to get that to work :S
[02:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: If you look in /var/log/httpd/error.log you should get a real error message with "useful" information.
[02:17] <Justi1> I can hear sounds on the login screen, but after I sign in I can't hear any sounds.  when I go to sound settings and click Test, it freezes up. Can anyone help?
[02:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: mine works great, but I had to activate it in a windows pc.
[02:17] <unagi> Optimus55: are you trying to use dial up with bluetooth?
[02:17] <le1> nerdygirl_ellie: thank you
[02:18] <unagi> ahhhh thank god for sprint evdo =)
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: anytime.
[02:18] <Optimus55> unagi: no i'm using an evdo card
[02:18] <unagi> oh
[02:18] <unagi> heh
[02:18] <unagi> paying lots of money huh
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: did you set the dialup connection up with network manager?
[02:18] <unagi> i only pay 15 dollars for my internet
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> verizon uses evdo doesn't it?
[02:18] <Optimus55> no i had to edit wvdial.conf
[02:18] <LucianIndy> Justi1, the only thing i can think of is something is loading (check system monitor->processes) that is screwing with your sounds
[02:18] <rolfen> i pay $ 160 :-p
[02:18] <unagi> optimus is it sprint or verizon
[02:18] <Motorsport3> shiester_miester: I got my sound working. I had to go into the mixer -> switches and disable "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack"
[02:18] <squee> How do I tell what speed I'm connected to my network at (eg 10/100/1000)
[02:19] <FruitLoop> when setting up a network computer to do DHCP for the purpose of net-booting another computer (as described in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot) Should I turn off the DHCP service on my router/gateway/modem thingy? Or will that not interfere with the process?
[02:19] <Optimus55> unagi: neither, i'm not from the states :P
[02:19] <Justi1> LucianIndy: What is 'esd'
[02:19] <unagi> ok
[02:19] <bruenig> squee, you could use ping maybe and do some math
[02:19] <Optimus55> im just wondering if feisty comes with build in connection sharing now
[02:19] <mroc> retrying this question:  i'm getting strange glitches in my graphics, (seemingly) at random.  where should i be looking for errors or clues as to the problem?
[02:19] <squee> bruenig: There has to be an easier way than that... windows can tell right away
[02:19] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Wouldn't that only show latency?
[02:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: I am so sorry.  For me, I had to set the device in network manager, give it a bogus username/password, and then edit the username password out.  no more vaugeries.
[02:19] <FruitLoop> electro static discharge?
[02:19] <shiester_miester> Motorsport3, thats great to hear :D
[02:19] <unagi> can anyone help me try to figure out why sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart doesnt restart gdm?
[02:19] <shiester_miester> lol, hear
[02:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: It does not, but firestarter makes it easy to setup.
