[02:15] <square> PurpZeY, double click on the folder on the desktop, it should bring up the folder.
[02:15] <Superbike32> Is there any way to run .exe's on ubuntu besides wine?
[02:15] <square> PurpZeY, where is it located? it should be /media/<something?
[02:15] <Tanalar1> how can I switch to a wired connection that requires a password?
[02:16] <wj32> Superbike32: mono, but thats only if its a .net program
[02:16] <wj32> Superbike32: also try vmware server
[02:16] <Ximal> then use the boot disk i told u about shi-lang
[02:16] <Ximal> you may have an issue with the formatting
[02:16] <FernandoLujan> can anyone help me with a sound problem please?
[02:16] <PurpZeY> square: Well, atm, I tried to mount to /home/NewShare/ but that folder is conspicuously empty.
[02:16] <wj32> !vmware-server
[02:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmware-server - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:16] <hipitihop> Superbike32: you could also look at virtulisation and run a full Windows VM
[02:16] <Ximal> do a secure wipe of the entire hd with a 1 pass as a setting..
[02:16] <ubuntu1> does anyone have any experiance with BusyBox?
[02:16] <Ximal> obviously either the hd is not new and was resold as new.. or it's defective..

[02:17] <Shi-Lang> is it possible I shuld use the alternative install iso?
[02:17] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, using /home/brian/Desktop/nameofdrive ?
[02:17] <Ximal> bakefy use the lamp package from synaptics from inside a working ubuntu desktop pc ?
[02:17] <Superbike32> hip

[02:17] <FernandoLujan> could anyone help me with a problem? Ubuntu doesn't detect my sound card, it's built in. I dont know what driver I need to install or how to do it. I can't hear any sound.
[02:17] <Superbike32> wj
[02:18] <Superbike32> im using 7.10
[02:18] <Superbike32> not 7.04
[02:18] <Shi-Lang> brb hunting blank cds
[02:18] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: At this point, I am trying just to mount /home/brian to /home/brian/NewShare (on lappy) but nothing is coming into that dir
[02:18] <Bakefy> Ximal, I installed ubuntu server 7.10 from a CD
[02:18] <Ximal> shi-lang ... I/O error refers to either the media u burned the iso to being ruined or the hard drive having errors on the disk surface / issues not writing data capability
[02:18] <wj32> Superbike32: same process
[02:18] <hipitihop> Superbike32: I use VirtualBox
[02:18] <flonge> anyone help me mounting a vista katalog on a ftp server...
[02:18] <wj32> Superbike32: there you go
[02:18] <Ximal> hmm
[02:18] <wj32> Superbike32: except i dont like virtualbox much...
[02:18] <Superbike32> whats the link to virtualbox too?
[02:18] <Ximal> try installing lamp via packages marked by task... through synaptics package manager
[02:18] <wj32> !virtualbox
[02:18] <ubotu> virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[02:19] <hipitihop> wj32: I know it is off topic but can you eaborate why you don't like VB much ?
[02:19] <wj32> btw i use a cracked version of vmware workstation just search on the pirate bay
[02:19] <FernandoLujan> Heey could someone help me with a problem please? UBuntu doesnt detect my sound card and i cant hear anything!
[02:19] <wj32> hipitihop: dunno, seems a bit slow and plus i hate qt for some reason
[02:19] <Bakefy> Ximal, I wanted to use server edition so that I could install webmin
[02:19] <wj32> hipitihop: i use a cracked vmware workstation
[02:19] <wj32> hipitihop: its evil but who cares...
[02:20] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, ah! ok.
[02:20] <Ximal> bakefy... my experiences tell me anything you could run in server edition .. you can run in desktop edition of ubuntu.. the only difference is one coming with a preloaded gui ...
[02:20] <hipitihop> wj32: doesn't Ubuntu have built in virtualization too ?
[02:20] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, weren't you mounting /home when it worked before?
[02:20] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Ok, I've established that I had it backwards.
[02:20] <Superbike32> i need to do root
[02:20] <Superbike32> what do i do
[02:20] <aszwet1> hey i'm getting this error when i try to connect to my computer using ssh: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51295/
[02:20] <jake2235> Hi, can anyone suggest a good automatic remote backup service in Ubuntu?
[02:20] <wj32> hipitihop: yes a kernel module for cpus that support it but you have to install a package to get a simple interface for it (command line*
[02:21] <Bakefy> Ximal, no speed issues?
[02:21] <FernandoLujan> can someone pleease help me?
[02:21] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, one second, let me try something.
[02:21] <hipitihop> Can someone please tell me how to restart or reinit so that changes in /etc/environment take ?
[02:21] <aszwet1> but i only get it when i try to use ssh command, but when i use putty to connect to the server comp i don't get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51295/
[02:21] <Superbike32> i need to do something like sudo root
[02:21] <Ximal> will someone justify what i'm saying to bakefy as true ... running apache2 ... webmin etc... from normal ubuntu / vs / server edition
[02:21] <jake2235> Superbike32: you need to use root beyond just using a sudo command?  Meaning, you want to login as root?
[02:21] <Superbike32> what is the command?
[02:21] <aszwet1> su
[02:21] <wj32> Superbike32: sudo [command]
[02:21] <wj32> Superbike32: or sudo -i
[02:21] <aszwet1> Superbike32, su
[02:21] <Ximal> andyes bakefy no issues with speed
[02:22] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: For some reason I can't mount it, or remount it properly...I think if I can mount /home/brian then the desktop issue should resolve itself easily....now I'd just like it to mount itself to /home/brian/NewShare/
[02:22] <jake2235> Superbike: it is su, but su is disabled by default on ubuntu
[02:22] <aszwet1> hey i'm getting this error when i try to connect to my computer using ssh: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51295/
[02:22] <Superbike32> yea
[02:22] <jake2235> Superbike32: You need to do a little trick to login as root on Ubuntu
[02:22] <Superbike32> thats not the command that i need
[02:22] <jake2235> Superbike32:http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-31053.html
[02:22] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, you can move mounts using mount --move olddir newdir
[02:22] <Superbike32> i need to do some sudo command to allow access
[02:22] <Superbike32> to stuff
[02:22] <jake2235> Superbike32: this link will explain
[02:22] <Superbike32> i dont need actual root
[02:22] <wj32> aszwet1: do you trust what your connecting to?
[02:23] <Superbike32> but it asks if im root
[02:23] <wj32> aszwet1: if so
[02:23] <Superbike32> i need the command for it to do things
[02:23] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: It should show up in "mount" right?
[02:23] <Superbike32> its like sudo ....
[02:23] <twavisdegwet> the latest version of ubuntu is using what kernel..
[02:23] <aszwet1> wj32 yeah it's a local connection
[02:23] <icesword> 2.6.22
[02:23] <wj32> aszwet1: open up /home/alex/.ssh/known_hosts
[02:23] <twavisdegwet> thank you
[02:23] <aszwet1> on the server or the client/
[02:23] <icesword> try uname -a
[02:23] <jake2235> Superbike32: I'm not sure what you mean -- can you explain further?
[02:23] <wj32> aszwet1: client
[02:23] <hipitihop> is anyone familiar with /etc/environment ?
[02:23] <Ximal> bakefy isn't webmin a mail server or some crud ?
[02:23] <Superbike32> it asks in the command line
[02:23] <jake2235> Superbike32: You want to login as root, right, so you can issue multiple commands sequentialy
[02:23] <Superbike32> if im root
[02:24] <Superbike32> i put something there
[02:24] <jake2235> Superbike32: What command are you giving?
[02:24] <wj32> aszwet1: and how many lines do you see?
[02:24] <Superbike32> then it will allow some access
[02:24] <aszwet1> 2
[02:24] <Superbike32> to root
[02:24] <aszwet1> wj32 2
[02:24] <Superbike32> whats the command
[02:24] <wj32> aszwet1: uh what two lines
[02:24] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, what do you mean?
[02:24] <jake2235> Superbike32: If you want to login as root, do the following:
[02:24] <aszwet1> but they just look like jibberish wj32'
[02:24] <jake2235> Superbike32: sudo bash
[02:24] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: When I run the command 'mount' the share should show up, shouldn't it?
[02:24] <jake2235> Superbike32: sudo -s
[02:24] <wj32> aszwet1: how about you rename the file to known_hosts.old
[02:24] <ubuntu1> does anyone have any experiance with BusyBox?
[02:24] <wj32> aszwet1: and then try again
[02:24] <jake2235> Superbike32: However, remember that login as root is NOT recommended
[02:25] <squarebracket> oh! ya, i would think so.
[02:25] <Superbike32> then why did u...
[02:25] <squarebracket> is it not?
[02:25] <wj32> i wish unix had a ACL system with finer control like windows...
[02:25] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I don't see it...at least, unless I am missing something that isn't that obvious
[02:25] <aszwet1> thanx wj32 :)
[02:25] <thanhtungproduct> oh
[02:25] <wj32> your welcome
[02:25] <Superbike32> i dont need to login as root
[02:25] <jake2235> Superbike32: can you explain exactly what you are trying to do that gives a command asking you to be root?
[02:26] <thanhtungproduct> ye
[02:26] <Superbike32> i just need to give it access to write files
[02:26] <jake2235> Superbike32: OK.  You want to use the chmod command
[02:26] <jake2235> Superbike32: I think
[02:26] <wj32> Superbike32: give what access
[02:26] <Superbike32> nope
[02:26] <jake2235> Superbike32: give what access
[02:26] <hipitihop> LjL: Are you familiar with the ubuntu /etc/environment file ?
[02:26] <Superbike32> let the command write files
[02:26] <jake2235> superbike32: which command
[02:26] <wj32> Superbike32: give a user access or give a program
[02:26] <Superbike32> any commands
[02:26] <wj32> Superbike32: then use sudo [command]
[02:26] <LjL> hipitihop: not really, i have to admit
[02:26] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, hmm...
[02:26] <Superbike32> i use sudo, and some command
[02:26] <Superbike32> then it asks for pass
[02:27] <Superbike32> and then i go on about it
[02:27] <wj32> Superbike32: yes...
[02:27] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, when you're doing the mount command, still getting a blinking cursor?
[02:27] <jake2235> Can anyone suggest a good remote backup software for ubuntu?
[02:27] <Superbike32> aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
[02:27] <Superbike32> that command needs some kind of access
[02:27] <Superbike32> to write files
[02:28] <jake2235> Superbike32: OK, so you've typed in "sudo aptitude install [blah]", right?
[02:28] <wj32> Superbike32: then go sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
[02:28] <wj32> jake2235: try rsync-backup
[02:28] <wj32> !rsync-backup
[02:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync-backup - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:28] <jake2235> wj32: thanks a lot
[02:28] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Yes.
[02:28] <wj32> damn
[02:28] <wj32> jake2235: its in the repos
[02:28] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Maybe my shares are setup wrong?
[02:29] <wj32> jake2235: except i only use it for local backup
[02:29] <wj32> jake2235: but im pretty sure it can backup remotely it said it somewhere...
[02:29] <jake2235> wj32: no equivalent of Mozy, for instance?
[02:29] <jake2235> wj32: Mozy, the online windows repo ?
[02:29] <wj32> jake2235: uh... probably not
[02:29] <wj32> jake2235: oh
[02:29] <wj32> jake2235: that kind of remote backup
[02:30] <jake2235> superbike32: did that resolve your problem?
[02:30] <wj32> jake2235: wait
[02:30] <Superbike32> yes
[02:30] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I can pastebin my 'export' b/c I think that might be the issue
[02:30] <jake2235> wj32: thanks, I can just backup to a friendly remote server then with rsync
[02:30] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, that might help
[02:30] <jake2235> wj32: now if only I can figure out how to encrypt it on the fly....
[02:30] <wj32> jake2235: i guess theres this: http://www.ibackup.com/online-backup-linux/
[02:30] <PurpZeY> !paste

[02:33] <darkkith> wj, the touch is recognized by the guest os (xp)
[02:33] <darkkith> itunes just does not see it

[02:34] <darkkith> via 'disk mode' probably? which the touch does not have

[02:35] <PurpZeY> carl_: That is really off topic for this channel, but I will give you a link, bear with
[02:35] <wj32> darkkith: yes it says iPhone but it works for the iPod touch as well
[02:35] <darkkith> wj, did that and had it working
[02:35] <darkkith> however syncing 8gb over wifi is incredibly painful
[02:35] <wj32> darkkith: man im being really stupid today
[02:35] <wj32> darkkith: sorry :(
[02:36] <darkkith> wj thanks for helping, not stupid probably most poeple haven't tried almost everything!
[02:36] <wj32> darkkith: im just assuming youre a newb... guess you arent

[02:36] <PurpZeY> carl_: https://www.homeinc.de/int/index.php
[02:36] <carl_> ook
[02:36] <WorkingOnWise> when I an checking out some program and it says " most X applications", does that mean apps that run on an xserver, i. e. in Gnome or KDE also?
[02:36] <carl_> thank you
[02:36] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, yes. did you mount your two disks as /New Volume and /DISK1_VOL1 ?
[02:36] <darkkith> believe me i would much prefer to use amarok for syncing touch, but the speed is killing me
[02:37] <Pici> WorkingOnWise: I need more context to that statement to properly identify what its saying.
[02:37] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, I.E. on the command line, or did you just double click them on the desktop to use them?
[02:37] <rikkimaru_> How do i go about using the extra keys on my keyboard?
[02:37] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Double-click...using NTFS tool.
[02:38] <akorn> Hi everyone...need some help here. I"m running 7.10, and whenever i load up firefox, no other programs, folders, or files can be opened, even after i exit firefox. anybody have ANY clue why?
[02:38] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Either way, I can't mount the NFS server at all at this point....so that seems like, putting the cart before the horse.
[02:38] <Arrick> hey all, I need to know something. Is there an *easy* way of converting an ext3 file system to ntfs without losing data?
[02:38] <googlah> is that even possible?
[02:38] <Ximal> how do I delete a file or folder with *.po extensions
[02:38] <akorn> Arrick i really do not think that's possible
[02:38] <boghog> hello. I'm trying to get an idea of how my harddisk is partitioned, using gparted, but after launching it it goes 'Scanning all devices..." but never finishes, I've waited for over 10 minutes.
[02:39] <boghog> I've launched it from a terminal to look for any errors, but got nothing
[02:39] <darkkith> bog try fdisk
[02:39] <boghog> anyone know what to do to get it to work?
[02:39] <boghog> hrm
[02:39] <Arrick> akorn: its possible, someone in this channel walked me through it the last time
[02:39] <rikkimaru_> How do i go about using the extra keys on my keyboard (e.g. volume control knob)
[02:39] <akorn> Arrick oh haha i have no clue then, sorry
[02:40] <boghog> should I report a bug for this though? I'd like to use gparted at some point (though I will learn to use fdisk for now)
[02:40] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, it might be screwing up the server, though. on your desktop, try sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
[02:40] <akorn> darkkith doesnt fdisk format?
[02:40] <Pici> akorn: fdisk -l will list your partitions
[02:40] <darkkith> fdisk can format, if you tell it to.
[02:40] <akorn> oh
[02:40] <akorn> haha
[02:40] <toresn_> do any of you run icecast2 ?
[02:40] <darkkith> not format, rather, it can repartition.
[02:40] <boghog> hmm
[02:41] <sam__> hello i have a question
[02:41] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Ok. did that, did the export look right?
[02:41] <Pici> sam__: ask away :)
[02:41] <boghog> I just kinda like the overview of disks, plus human readable sizes I get in gparted
[02:41] <boghog> and total disksize
[02:41] <boghog> fdisk doesn't seem to give this
[02:41] <toresn_> do any of you run icecast2 ?  if so, how do you run icecast2 ?
[02:41] <akorn> haha
[02:41] <darkkith> boghog: if fdisk lists the parts without error then maybe a bug report is necessary
[02:41] <akorn> Hi everyone...need some help here. I"m running 7.10, and whenever i load up firefox, no other programs, folders, or files can be opened, even after i exit firefox. anybody have ANY clue why?
[02:41] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, well as i said, it depends on if those are the actual mounted directories or not. try going places-->computer-->file system and seeing if there's a New Volume folder
[02:41] <boghog> darkkith, yeah fdisk seems to list them without error
[02:42] <WorkingOnWise> Pici: i have seen several apps that say they work for of with "x applications". Specifically, at the moment, I am looking at Xvoice, which says " Xvoice enables continuous speech dictation and speech control of most X applications."
[02:42] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: it's in "computer"
[02:42] <__tom__> Hi guys, is anyone familiar with the Huawei E220 USB modem?
[02:42] <sam__> i am running gutsy and for a while now, sometimes [several times a day] when i open a window and close it, it leaves like a shadowed outline on top of everything and if i go into compiz settings and change something and change it back, it goes away. any ideas?
[02:42] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Same spot as "file system" e.g. it's mounted. I believe.
[02:42] <boghog> darkkith, looks like it is a known problem, I got a ton of google hits :S
[02:43] <darkkith> boghog here i thought most people hit google before irc :)
[02:43] <Pici> WorkingOnWise: Then yes, it should work with gnome.  Sounds like this particular program emulates an input device (like a keyboard) that *should* work with any desktop environment under X.
[02:43] <boghog> darkkith, I sometimes neglect to do it :>

[02:44] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Yeah, it's in file system /media
[02:44] <boghog> I think it got stuck on my floppy-drive, maybe it's malfunctioning
[02:44] <movva> Doest any body know some software which reads PDF in AUDIO
[02:44] <darkkith> akorn, you downloaded too much porn

[02:45] <darkkith> i had that problem one time to its ok
[02:45] <sam__>  i am running gutsy and for a while now, sometimes [several times a day] when i open a window and close it, it leaves like a shadowed outline on top of everything and if i go into compiz settings and change something and change it back, it goes away. any ideas?
[02:45] <akorn> darkkith i almost believe that haha
[02:45] <WorkingOnWise> Pici: cool. I'm hoping to find some voice recognition capabilities for Ubuntu. thanks

[02:45] <Sefram> howto install ubuntu
[02:45] <akorn> darkkith i cant even use buttons on websites either, like google.com doesnt work becuase the Search button won't CLICK
[02:45] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: But the tutorial had a bit about @myclient I assumed that was a variable for systems with users.....So, I took it out....again, presumably you looked at my export file and figured it is OK.
[02:45] <darkkith> is it only sometimes?
[02:45] <Superbike32> How do i install vmware?
[02:45] <sam__> yes
[02:46] <DIL> !irfanview
[02:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about irfanview - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:46] <Sefram> ubuntu SUCKS!
[02:46] <sam__> once or twice an hour maybe...sometimes more somtimes less
[02:46] <boghog> darkkith, seems to happen all the time, however there is definitely something up with my floppy-drive, tons of I/O errors on dmesg
[02:46] <icesword> Superbike32, why don't use vitualbox
[02:46] <DIL> PICNIC
[02:46] <Superbike32> not yet
[02:46] <Superbike32> i wanna try vmware
[02:46] <akorn> why does my hadr drive become READ ONLY when i use firefox? why can't i open up any more programs after i open firefox? anybody know??
[02:46] <Sefram> ubotu: initrd
[02:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initrd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:47] <darkkith> superbike32, www.vmware.com, download the tar.gz... then unpack it.. then cd to the dir, then 'sudo ./vmware-installer.pl'
[02:47] <Sefram> ubotu: initramdisk

[02:47] <corey> hello everyone I am new to ubuntu and I need help
[02:47] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, i think you should see if you can get someone else to help you out, i'm not sure if i can find the problem. sorry.
[02:48] <Pici> !msgthebot
[02:48] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.
[02:48] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Ok, no worries. . .
[02:48] <akorn> also, after i load up firefox, if i try to log off, i am told that the X server has crashed......
[02:48] <Superbike32> sudo ./vmware-installer.pl says command not found
[02:48] <darkkith> superbike, also you will require build-essential first (sudo aptitude install build-essential)
[02:48] <icesword> ubotu:grldr
[02:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grldr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:48] <darkkith> did you cd into that folder?
[02:48] <jpiccolo> i have php and libapache-mod-php4 installed, and when going to the site my browser wants to download the php file
[02:48] <Superbike32> yes
[02:49] <darkkith> lol i come here for help with my ipod touch and end up trying to give out support
[02:49] <radiounix> That's how it goes.
[02:49] <darkkith> Superbike32 ls *.pl
[02:49] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, do either computer have a firewall?
[02:49] <sam__> anyone at all?
[02:49] <darkkith> Superbike32 what is the output
[02:49] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: No.
[02:50] <jpiccolo> why would my browser want to download the php file when i have it on my apache server?
[02:50] <Superbike32> sudo: ./vmware-installer.pl      command not found
[02:50] <icesword> Superbike32, where are you?what does pwd show?
[02:51] <terrible_tickler> hi
[02:51] <darkkith> Superbike32, type ls *.pl and paste the output here
[02:51] <brucewagne1> greetings everyone!  this is my first time ever on an IRC channel.  pretty cool.  just installed ubuntu on 3 of my machines and am loving it
[02:51] <Superbike32> thats because i copied what yall talk, instead of installer, the name of it it is only install, not installer
[02:51] <Tramp> jpiccolo: you cleared you browser-cache (or used Shift+Reload)?
[02:51] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, you can give it a shot using this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51300/ and restarting the server
[02:51] <VistaSP1> sup anybody on da vista
[02:51] <darkkith> Superbike32, it pays to be more lazy.  type sudo ./vm<tab>
[02:51] <Superbike32> lmao
[02:52] <jpiccolo> Tramp: yes i have done that
[02:52] <Superbike32> now its asking me where to install binary files
[02:52] <__tom__> Hi guys, is anyone familiar with the Huawei E220 USB modem?
[02:52] <darkkith> just hit enter a bunch of times
[02:52] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, and then trying mounting /home on the desktop to a random directory on the laptop... i took out unnecessary entries from your exports file.
[02:52] <VistaSP1> to you /dev/ass
[02:52] <darkkith> dont forget that you need build-esential
[02:52] <darkkith> build-essential, first
[02:52] <darkkith> anyone here with ipod touch ?
[02:52] <Superbike32> what about after?
[02:52] <darkkith> damnitt i gotta troll this channel for days to find someone
[02:53] <VistaSP1> h>	damnitt i gotta troll this channel for days to find someone
[02:53] <darkkith> superbike, just open another terminal and do it there
[02:53] <DIL> VistaSP1, is tha how to mount that
[02:53] <darkkith> Superbike32 you will be unable to compile the vmware modules
[02:53] <jpiccolo> i had php working now it doesnt work
[02:54] <Tramp> jpiccolo: ok. Enable the info-module and check with URL .../server-info that the php module is loaded
[02:54] <theLichKing> i got ubuntu 7.10 installed on my laptop and when i ask it to turn off, sometimes it does turn off and often times it gives me a black screen and doesn't shut off.. any suggestions?
[02:54] <brucewagne1> greetings from new york city.   i'm a newbie, so please forgive me that i have a stupid question.  when i go into synaptic package manager, how do i know which package i want to install.  i.e. how do i know which one contains flash player, or skype, or rar, etc., etc.  sometimes on a search nothing comes up.  other times 18 things come up.  how do i know which one to install?

[02:55] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Ok, I just re-did the file according to what you had....Now I have a folder on my laptop /home/brian/NewShare...I am going to run the following command, this correct: sudo mount <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/brian/ /home/brian/NewShare
[02:55] <RoxanneEDM> can someone please help me with DeVeDe?
[02:55] <KiD_ChAoS> COMPIZ rotating cube da BOMB!
[02:55] <Superbike32> after vmware is installed
[02:55] <Superbike32> how easy is it to use?
[02:55] <Superbike32> and how do i start using it?
[02:55] <darkkith> very easy
[02:56] <radiounix> Has anyone had firsthand experience installing Ubuntu's "restricted" packaging of the legacy Nvidia (old 7100 tree) drivers on a Gutsy server/base install? I cannot use nvidia-xconfig as this driver tree doesn't have it. While I get the Nvidia splashscreen, glxinfo reports no 3D accel. The driver uneventfully modprobed. If I need to RTFM or STFW, a link or hint would be helpful.
[02:56] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, try simply sudo mount <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/ /home/brian/NewShare
[02:56] <PurpZeY> VistaSP1: Often, if one package is required for another it will install itself...And also, if synaptic is overwhelming Add/Remove is a place to start
[02:56] <theLichKing> brucewagne1: it might be better to google flash + ubuntu and reading some manuals other than just going to synaptic and searching randomly
[02:56] <Cpudan80> how do you add sendMail support to ubuntu?
[02:56] <jpiccolo> Tramp: would i just need to make a link between mods-avaliable and mods-enabled?
[02:56] <darkkith> file -> new -> virtual machine
[02:56] <RoxanneEDM> does anyone use DeVeDe to get .Avi files to DVD ??????????/
[02:56] <darkkith> then follow the wizard
[02:56] <darkkith> Cpudan80 postfix is better imo
[02:56] <Superbike32> it asked me for a 20 length character key
[02:56] <radiounix> I have, Roxanne. Why?
[02:56] <Superbike32> whats up?
[02:57] <darkkith> Superbike32 you can get that from vmwares site for free
[02:57] <Cpudan80> darkkith: I need sendmail for php
[02:57] <Tramp> jpiccolo: there is "a2enmod".   It's best to Google Ubuntu + one of those things, and get the package name first....  Then, go in to Synaptic Package Manager to install it?
[02:59] <Flannel> brucewagne1: You don't need to use google, synaptic has a search built in
[02:59] <jpiccolo> Tramp: and then what URL?
[03:00] <darkkith> Cpudan80, whatever floats your boat buddy, sendmail is junk :)  Package: sendmail Version: 8.14.1-8ubuntu1
[03:00] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, after you hit enter, is it a blank line with a blinking cursor, or does it give you the brian@brian-laptop:~$ prompt?
[03:00] <radiounix> I'm afraid I cannot help you, as I don't have a copy of that program installed. Is mencoder all set up, .etc? I'm not really sure.
[03:00] <Tramp> jpiccolo: http://localhost/server-info
[03:00] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: And nothing appears in mount. . .blank line blinking cursor
[03:00] <jpiccolo> Tramp: 404
[03:00] <brucewagne1> Flannel:  But when I search within Synaptic, for Skype, nothing comes up.  For RAR lots of things come up.  How will I know which one to install...?
[03:00] <Superbike32> OK
[03:00] <Superbike32> now that thats done
[03:00] <radiounix> I think the easiest way to find programs is on a console- apt-cache search "progname"
[03:00] <Superbike32> how do i start using the vmware
[03:00] <PurpZeY> brucewagne1: You have to know what package you are looking for, at least to some extent.
[03:01] <darkkith> menu -> system tools -> vmware
[03:01] <darkkith> or type 'vmware'
[03:01] <Superbike32> huh?
[03:01] <RoxanneEDM> radiounix: , i got 3 different programs installed, all suggested from here the only one that seems to convert avi to DVD is devede, and it freezes at 2%, then again at 6%
[03:01] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, hmm.... and even after a while, no error message shows up? it sounds like the request isn't getting through, but i got a timed out error in the same situation...
[03:01] <Superbike32> i got it now
[03:01] <Tramp> jpiccolo: you restarted/reloaded apache after running a2enmod?
[03:01] <DIL> Brucewange, files that are associated/dependent will be select as well
[03:01] <darkkith> Superbike32 don't you think it would be faster to just ...
[03:01] <darkkith> try
[03:01] <darkkith> ?
[03:01] <DIL> Brucewange1, files that are associated/dependent will be select as well
[03:02] <Superbike32> i dunno what im doing
[03:02] <jpiccolo> Tramp: yes
[03:02] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, when you type mount.nfs, do you get a command not found error?
[03:02] <darkkith> click randomly with your mouse ..
[03:02] <darkkith> its no worse off then windows.
[03:02] <Superbike32> i installed linux today, maybe early yesterday
[03:02] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Yes.
[03:02] <brucewagne1> PurpZeY:  yes, but how to i know which package to install for Skype, for example.  or for RAR, for example...?
[03:02] <pastor> Is there any way to get my Canon Imageclass D320 printer working in Ububtu? It seems that there are not drivers for this unit on linux. Thoughts?
[03:02] <PurpZeY> brucewagne1: You can always ask here.
[03:02] <radiounix> Sorry, Roxanne, I suggest you go elsewhere as I've only used the program maybe five times. Tried checking launchpad and the DeveDe site for outstanding bugs? There used to be a horrific one with audio and Ubuntu's version of mencoder.
[03:02] <Flannel> brucewagne1: There are descriptions in synaptic too, you just have to read a bit and get familiar.  Or google.  Skype isn't FOSS, so it only exists in a third party repository.  Another good place to check "first" (or second, I guess) is the ubuntu wiki : http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ which will have instructions for skype and WoW and lots of other things too.
[03:03] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, ah! that would be why. you're missing the proper stuff on your laptop
[03:03] <jpiccolo> Tramp: the url is http://stuntcock.kicks-ass.org
[03:03] <Tramp> jpiccolo: does "grep info /var/log/apache2/error.log" return anything?
[03:03] <bgt421> hi, I'm trying to apt-get build-essentials and it keeps asking for a cd. Is there a way to force apt to use a repository?
[03:03] <squarebracket> sudo mount-get install nfs-common i think
[03:03] <PurpZeY> !nfs
[03:03] <squarebracket> err
[03:03] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[03:03] <squarebracket> apt-get
[03:03] <bluefoxx> how do i unmount from command line?i just got my sansa replaced *again* and i dont want to have anymore unmount errors as they seem to corrupt the internal memeory. i allready did 'lsof /media/Sansa\ e260' and nothng comes up, i also tried 'sudo unmount' but it didnt work either
[03:03] <darkkith> bgt421 disable the cd source via synaptic
[03:03] <DIL> brucewange1, there is a description nest to the files
[03:03] <darkkith> or uncomment it from /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:03] <hmn> can anyone help me installing ubuntu?
[03:03] <DIL> brucewange1, files that are associated/dependent will be select as well
[03:03] <bgt421> darkkith: Thanks!
[03:04] <jpiccolo> Tramp: [Tue Jan 08 22:02:42 2008] [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] File does not exist: /var/www/server-info
[03:04] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I have that package...let me apt-cache it and see
[03:04] <DIL> hmn, do you have cd,
[03:04] <darkkith> bluefoxx sudo umount -l
[03:04] <bluefoxx> darkkith: and then the volume?
[03:04] <darkkith> bgt421 sudo apt-get update after that change
[03:04] <darkkith> bluefoxx yes
[03:04] <radiounix> I'm assuming nobody is running a Geforce 2 or earlier Nvidia card on Gutsy Gibbon using the Ubuntu-supplied drivers and a base/debian-style install? If so, I'll ask for help on the forum.
[03:04] <hmn> DIL: yes but i dont know what to enter into the console to start ubuntu
[03:04] <bluefoxx> darkkith: thank you
[03:05] <darkkith> seriously, nobody here has an ipod or iphone?
[03:05] <Starnestommy> my sister has an ipod
[03:05] <radiounix> start ubuntu? You mean start xwindows? type "startx"
[03:05] <darkkith> is she a linux nerd?
[03:05] <DIL> hmn, boot cd then click on install
[03:06] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Yeah, I have that package and that's the only package that the HowTo page indicates. . .
[03:06] <Tramp> jpiccolo: hmmm. And  info.conf/info.load are now in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ ?
[03:06] <fozzyb> pastor:  that printer isn't listed on openprinting.org.  but other canon imageclass printers are listed as paperweights
[03:06] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, portmap as well. do you have that installed?
[03:06] <Starnestommy> darkkith: I am, but she isn't
[03:06] <DIL> hmn, are you working with a clean disk, if not backup any data you want to keep
[03:06] <bluefoxx> darkkith: can you repeat that again? i used irssi in my lazyness and didnt write it down >>
[03:06] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Yes.
[03:06] <darkkith> bluefoxx what were you asking again ?
[03:07] <Superbike32> how do i fully login to the root?
[03:07] <bluefoxx> darkkith: how to unmount from a terminal
[03:07] <Superbike32> on this
[03:07] <DiogoAgra> anyone can help me? the "start" icon of gnome crash/freeze for a few seconds in the first time that i click
[03:07] <hmn> DIL: i cannot click i only have a console last message seems to recognice my cd drive and then it just stops. what should i enter then?
[03:07] <Superbike32> someone said how earlier
[03:07] <jpiccolo> Tramp: info.load is info.conf is not
[03:07] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: But it certainly seems we are on to something since that mount.nfs isn't working
[03:07] <darkkith> Starnestommy i wish some linux nerd here had their ipod touch syncing via usb cable, or sync ipod touch to itunes via vmware
[03:07] <darkkith> Superbike32, FULLY:  sudo bash
[03:07] <darkkith> bluefoxx, sudo umount -l <dev>
[03:07] <radiounix> How to unmount? read the man file on "umount"
[03:08] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, definitely.
[03:08] <ouellettesr> hello, how can I check a package dependency using apt?
[03:08] <jpiccolo> Tramp: oh got it, i did a2enmod php5
[03:08] <bluefoxx> darkkith: thought it was close, i was triing ' unmount'
[03:08] <bluefoxx> darkkith: thanks again
[03:08] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Maybe I need to reset ports on client...I have no idea, this is weird, but it seems I have all the packages
[03:08] <Tramp> jpiccolo: ok. so your php works now?
[03:09] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, try mount -t nfs <IP_ADDRESS>:/home /home/brian/NewShare

[03:09] <hmn> DIL: i prepared a clean partition on my windows disk for ubuntu.
[03:09] <squarebracket> do you get an error saying unsupported file system type or something?
[03:09] <DIL> hmn, how did you get to console
[03:09] <Johnson> is there a way to get stickynotes to actually stick to the desktop mine automatically hide w/e i click elsewhere or does anyone recommend a btter sticky note program than the default
[03:09] <jpiccolo> Tramp: yeah my php works, i ran into this problem because my .htaccess file isn't rewriting the urls like it does on my hosts server
[03:10] <Tramp> jpiccolo: then just for consistency's sake do an a2dismod info. No idea why it didn't link the conf.
[03:10] <jpiccolo> Tramp: would you know why it isn't?
[03:10] <darkkith> Johnson stick notes are evil
[03:10] <ouellettesr> radiounix: thanks

[03:10] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: "failed: server is down"
[03:10] <radiounix> ctrl-alt-bkspc should kill xwindows. If you have GDM or KDM, google on how to kill it.
[03:10] <squarebracket> hmm........
[03:10] <biggie> can someone help me with changing the screen resolution on boot
[03:10] <Johnson> darkkith yeah. but they are even more evil when they don't stick
[03:11] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I just got that....took that long to time out I guess
[03:11] <darkkith> thats the problem, they have a tendancy to disapear
[03:11] <thor> radiounix ctrl-alt-bkspace doesn't kill x it just restarts it
[03:11] <darkkith> Johnson i say stick with tried and true:  vi
[03:11] <Tramp> jpiccolo: Maybe there is some AllowOverride missing - often the case if directives in .htaccess fail
[03:11] <DIL> hmn, there should be an install icon
[03:11] <Johnson> darkkith como?
[03:11] <radiounix> biggie: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (on a root console). BE CAREFULL. There may be a GUI method.

[03:12] <radiounix> Pardon me, biggie, ona  root console with no Xwindows loaded.
[03:12] <biggie> that does not work if you boot into recovery mode

[03:12] <darkkith> tomboy, is that the default one ?
[03:12] <hmn> DIL: booted from the installer cd (7.10, i386, desktop), pressed F6, removed "quiet splash --" and replaced it with "pnpacpi=off --" and pressed ENTER, then it starts, a lot of messages flush over screen last recognising my CD drive and then it just stops working?!

[03:12] <user_rali> I`m sorry my brother
[03:12] <Pici> !root | aszwet1
[03:12] <Flannel> aszwet1: you don't need to
[03:12] <ubotu> aszwet1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[03:12] <darkkith> sudo passwd

[03:13] <radiounix> Um, I'm not sure, frankly, as I'm kinda tired. Maybe things that depend on this package, but do Google it.

[03:14] <alephant> ...is there an official RSS feed of Ubuntu updates?
[03:14] <radiounix> You can change it in any mode, biggie. You just cannot be running xwindows (and [probably GDM/KDM). Try looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favored text editor.

[03:15] <Trex_> an error whenever i update and install programs in feisty.. this is the error: E: havp: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1... please help
[03:15] <hmn> DIL: i just dont know how to continue from there, maybe you could give me a hint...
[03:15] <Flannel> aszwet1: No it doesnt, follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-39085275bc28194cca77d021ec362ff3003b10bc
[03:15] <Trex_> what is this error about guys?
[03:15] <Trex_> how do i handle it?
[03:15] <biggie> radiounix - the problem is i can't get that far. I installed ubuntu with a 21 monitor and 1280x1024 resolution and now i have it hooked up to a 17 inch monitor that won't do that resolution
[03:16] <biggie> so when i boot the monitor turns off cause it can't do that resolution
[03:16] <alephant> I'm looking for a datasource for new arrivals to updates, so that I can then construct a list of "desired" updates to install -- similar to RHN.
[03:16] <|PowerMX|> hello!, anybody knows what is this for ?: Scrollkeeper-up
[03:16] <DIL> hmn, how long did you wait to see if it booted to desktop
[03:16] <darkkith> biggie, when the monitor blanks hit CTL-ALT-F1
[03:16] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, when you type exportfs -ra on the desktop, does it give an error?
[03:16] <Superbike32> i cant start VMWare
[03:16] <alephant> I'd rather not simply parse the output of ``apt-get upgrade''...
[03:16] <darkkith> login as yourself on the console
[03:16] <alephant> ...any ideas?
[03:16] <Superbike32> i click it, and it never comes up
[03:17] <radiounix> Yes. teh recovery mode of any Live Linux CD will let you get into your linux system and reconfigure your xserver for a lower resolution. I have a 15," so I know your pain.
[03:17] <biggie> so i tried to do sudu dpkg reconfigure etc... from recovery mode and xserver-org is not loaded so i won't let me change anythiong
[03:17] <Flannel> alephant: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade | less
[03:17] <nickrud> |PowerMX|: that's scrollkeeper-update, it creates gnome/ubuntu documents
[03:17] <DiogoAgra> anyone can help me? the "start" icon of gnome crash/freeze for a few seconds in the first time that i click
[03:17] <darkkith> biggahed then sudo vim (or nano( /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:17] <slyboots> Hm, having some issues with Compiz on my Thinkpad R61i.. Checked ThinkWiki but the advice for fixing it does not work..
[03:17] <Flannel> alephant: Update manager will do it for you as well
[03:17] <alephant> Flannel: perhaps I was a bit unclear.
[03:17] <hmn> DIL: several minutes, but it just stops working, no activity at all, no feedback, no error messages on the screen?!
[03:17] <|PowerMX|> it's consuming 98% of CPU Usage
[03:17] <slyboots> (Attaching SKIP_CHECKS in /etc/compizconfig/config)
[03:17] <Flannel> alephant: No, you just took two statements to say it
[03:18] <nickrud> Superbike32: try   vmware    in a terminal, you should get some error messages. You should ask for help with that info on #vmware
[03:18] <slyboots> Running the command manualy works fine, so.. what am I doing wrong?
[03:18] <darkkith> Superbike32 try starting vmware from a terminal to see if there are errors
[03:18] <radiounix> Have you mounted your Linux partition, biggie? Ask someone else to help you here. I'm signing off as I'm way to tired tonight to really be more than a hindrance.
[03:18] <radiounix> sorry
[03:18] <alephant> I'm creating a local mirror of Gutsy, so that I can always install a system to a known base of packages.
[03:18] <biggie> that's cool radiounix thanks
[03:18] <alephant> When updates to package FOO come in, I don't want to blindly apply them without validating first that they work without breaking any of our apps.
[03:19] <darkkith> biggie did you try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly?
[03:19] <DIL> hmn, when you booted did you at least get menu start or install ubuntu
[03:19] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: "could not open /var/lib/nfs/etab for locking" "can't lock /var/lib/nfs/etab for writing"
[03:19] <alephant> But once they are validated & I decide that they should be applied, then they should be applied to all systems.
[03:19] <alephant> So it seems to me, that the simplest way to achieve this is to selective mirror only the updates that I decide I want.
[03:19] <nickrud> alephant: and debmirror would be a good tool for maintaining that pool
[03:19] <squarebracket> err, sudo exportfs -ra
[03:20] <biggie> darkith - not sure how to do that at boot up
[03:20] <hmn> DIL:yes and i choosed to use pnpacpi=off pecause without it or when i leave splash or quiet boot options enabled i always end up with an error message about my network card.
[03:20] <alephant> The missing piece is a well-formatted list of updates -- which can be parsed for a frontend to select which ones I want, and parsed to create an --include list for debmirror.
[03:20] <darkkith> biggie, let it boot, when it goes blank hit CTL-ALT-F1
[03:20] <craigbass1976> to restart samba, is it smb or samba that's in /etc/init.d?  I'm trying to help someone but don't have samba on my box

[03:22] <crdlb> slyboots: that wiki article you found was wrong
[03:22] <davidthedrake> How do I get my sound to work in old games such as Abuse or Airstrike?
[03:22] <xm4n> question: how do you install Doom 3 in Ubuntu 7.10
[03:22] <alephant> So anybody understand the package maintainers (MoTU?) well enough to comment on how updates are pushed out?  Best case is that there's an RSS feed, or an automated listserv fed by the release process, which tells me not only WHAT was updated, but WHY.
[03:23] <davidthedrake> xm4n, I think you might be thinking of Open Arena
[03:23] <xm4n> well, I have open arena already
[03:23] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Was that command supposed to return an error? or was I supposed to run that and then try to connect again
[03:23] <xm4n> I would like to input DOOM 3
[03:23] <Cromag> !wine
[03:23] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[03:23] <hmn_> DIL: any idea how to tell the installer to continue, since i dont know what i should do in this console? i want to boot gnome and doubleclick on install?!
[03:23] <Flannel> alephant: well, you can get release notes easily enough.  But you might have more luck asking in #ubuntu-motu
[03:23] <davidthedrake> Oohhh.. DOOM 3, not Quake 3. I see.
[03:23] <davidthedrake> Use Wine.
[03:23] <alephant> Flannel: I'll check that out, thanks.
[03:23] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, no, it would display no output if there were no errors -- so nothing is a good thing, in this case
[03:23] <xm4n> Does WINE have capability to play DOOM 3?
[03:23] <frille> yeah!\
[03:23] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, try re-installing nfs-common on the laptop
[03:24] <davidthedrake> xm4n, yea!
[03:24] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, and then see if mount.nfs returns a "command not found" error
[03:24] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: re-installing as in apt-get remove apt-get install?
[03:24] <davidthedrake> xm4n, wine is designed to play many different windows based games.
[03:24] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, i'd say just do it through synaptic
[03:24] <nickrud> crdlb: I can't find the reference to the wiki page you were talking about with slyboots , was it an ubuntu one?
[03:24] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: But, I mean, that's the idea
[03:24] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, ya
[03:24] <xm4n> ok I'll try that. I just have to install software from repository
[03:24] <davidthedrake> xm4n, if you can't get it workin, search on the internet (google) and you will probably find some results.
[03:24] <crdlb> nickrud: no, I found it just now through googling
[03:24] <DIL> hmn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-ca8e337bdfab6bfa1d064371898775fe1e9e22fd
[03:24] <xm4n> ok

[03:25] <ShortWave> hi all
[03:25] <ShortWave> So
[03:25] <Pici> nickrud: sounded like he was talking about thinkwiki (the thinkpad linux wiki)
[03:25] <crdlb> yup
[03:25] <squarebracket> is there a script editor in xchat like there is in mirc?
[03:25] <ShortWave> When I try to install missing plugins in firefox, it can't seem to find any of them
[03:26] <cwillu> ShortWave, you might need to restart firefox if it seemed like they installed but didn't actually change anything
[03:26] <WooD> Does Ubuntu detects automatically a USB Hard drive ?
[03:26] <cwillu> WooD, usually, yes
[03:26] <hmn_> DIL: THX a lot that seems to be very interessting... il try those!!
[03:26] <ShortWave> no, it says "cannot find gcjwebplugin"
[03:26] <Zloog> is it possible to send the output of espeak to my microphone?
[03:26] <ShortWave> then it PRETENDS it installed it
[03:26] <nickrud> ShortWave: many of the plugins written for for firefox require windows, about the only ones you can use on linux are java, flash and movie players
[03:26] <ShortWave> I restart firefox, and it's not to be found
[03:27] <cwillu> ShortWave, just install java via add/remove applications, and restart firefox;  should work
[03:27] <darkkith> i must be doomed to run windows on a real computer utnil i obtain a replacement for my ipod touch
[03:27] <darkkith> or maybe buy a mac
[03:27] <ShortWave> cwillu: I installed java by installing the jre 1.6 runtime in /opt/ just for kicks, that didn't even towkr.
[03:27] <ShortWave> err
[03:27] <ShortWave> work
[03:27] <ShortWave> nickrud: well aware of that, thanks
[03:27] <cwillu> ShortWave, flash is another matter, as there's been an update on adobe's part, and so the 'package' in ubuntu complains that it doesn't match what it expected; you can install it via the adobe site easily enough
[03:27] <nickrud> ShortWave:  install  sun-java6-plugin
[03:27] <cwillu> ShortWave, how did you install java?
[03:27] <ShortWave> cwillu: I got flash under control.
[03:28] <nickrud> cwillu: iirc the java add/remove only installs the jre
[03:28] <ShortWave> cwillu: sh jre1.6.bin; mkdir /opt/jre; cp -rv jre1.6/* /opt/jre
[03:28] <cwillu> ShortWave, that won't install the plugin
[03:28] <cwillu> sun-java6-plugin should be the package you want
[03:29] <ShortWave> cwillu: then of course ln -s /opt/jre/plugins/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[03:29] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Took care of all that, so far no dice. . .waiting for time out. . . .
[03:29] <cwillu> ShortWave, sounds reasonable
[03:29] <ShortWave> cwillu: you would think so
[03:29] <cwillu> honestly, you're better off using the ubuntu package, as you'll actually get security updates et al
[03:29] <ShortWave> cwillu: I'm just somewhat alarmed at Firefox not being able to find the extensions.
[03:30] <ShortWave> cwillu: I can get the plugins manually, I...just really don't want to do it manually anymore
[03:30] <ShortWave> cwillu: And I'd like this to be easy as possible, since my wife is the intended target. I can beat it into submission for me, but for her, I'd like it to be more sophisticated.
[03:30] <WooD> if I put into /etc/fstab the command ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/harddrive/ does it gonna mount automatically at startup ?
[03:30] <nickrud> WooD: if you put the ntfs-3g after /media/harddrive
[03:31] <cwillu> ShortWave, the ubuntu packages have worked for me (with the exception of flash, which is kinda-sorta adobe's fault)
[03:31] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, mount.nfs still returns command not found?
[03:31] <ShortWave> cwillu: Unsurprising, flash is in a bit of an uproar these days, what with Flex/Air et al
[03:31] <ShortWave> cwillu: So...what repository do I need for this mighty sun plugin?
[03:31] <slyboots> nickrud: Its the ThinkWiki,
[03:31] <ruz322> i'm sure there is a quick article for this, but how can i make the dhcp server daemon start at bootup?
[03:31] <cwillu> ShortWave, multiverse I think
[03:31] <nickrud> slyboots: then I'm not going to worry about it :)
[03:32] <slyboots> nickrud: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_%28Gutsy_Gibbon%29_on_a_ThinkPad_R61#Compiz
[03:32] <WooD> nickrud, ok so in that way /media/harddrive/ ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1
[03:32] <cwillu> ShortWave, sun-java6-jre/bin/plugin should do it, but make sure you have any preexisting java removed
[03:32] <ShortWave> it's troubles like this that make me stick with my mac
[03:32] <ShortWave> cwillu: simple matter of not using the path
[03:33] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, can you ping the desktop?
[03:33] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Still nothing on that command...
[03:33] <cwillu> ShortWave, simple matter of not getting the package confused;  it's still using sun's installer, and I don't think there's any guarentee's that it doesn't do something 'intelligent' in finding preexisting installs :p
[03:33] <ShortWave> whoah, that installs a pile of prereqs
[03:34] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Ping is good.
[03:34] <ShortWave> cwillu: meh, I copied the JRE I downloaded to where it's at under /opt...the name is odd enough that I doubt the installer will have an issue
[03:34] <ruz322> meh, no suggestion?
[03:34] <ubuntu1> hi. im not coming off a new install or upgrade or anything, i dont remember what i did. but the last time i restarted my computer it wouldnt boot up properly. it goes past the grub then instead of getting my login screen i get a terminal-like screen and it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then it drops down and instead of my username it says "(initramfs)" in a terminal style prompt. i have limited commands
[03:34] <ubuntu1> while in this, but i can tell that i am on my main partition because im able to cd through folders. i looked around the internet and the most common responce was to remove "quiet splash" and add "all_generic_ide" to the thing in the grub (pressing escape then e for edit and b to boot it up) but that didnt work for me. a few sites i looked at also suggested just messing with "noacpi, nodma, noapic, and nolapic" i tried each one of those, with
[03:34] <ubuntu1> and without the "quiet splash" there and none of it worked. What is this problem, and how can i fix it?
[03:34] <cwillu> ShortWave, well, you've been warned :p
[03:34] <ShortWave> cwillu: :)
[03:35] <ShortWave> cwillu: Not my first time here ;)
[03:35] <ShortWave> cwillu: I was really just wondering about the inability of Firefox to find the plugins.
[03:35] <nickrud> WooD: no, /dev/sdd1 /media/harddrive ntfs-3g defaults[,umask=007,gid=46] 0 0 (I recommend adding the stuff in brackets to your line)
[03:35] <cwillu> ShortWave, is it a fresh install?
[03:35] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: So, as of now, all I know is, it seems that something is missing on the desktop end.....that's all I can figure
[03:35] <ShortWave> fresh and tasty
[03:36] <ShortWave> as in I installed it last night
[03:36] <cwillu> that's weird;  I've had no problems except for flash, and that used to work fine as well
[03:36] <ShortWave> oh look
[03:36] <cwillu> standard firefox, not the beta or anything right?
[03:36] <ShortWave> in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, there is no libjavaplugin.so or anything similar after running that
[03:36] <cwillu> the ubuntu patches are required to make the deb stuff work
[03:36] <WooD> nickrud, ok thanks I'll try that
[03:37] <ShortWave> cwillu: Whatever came with the default install CD
[03:37] <cwillu> ok
[03:37] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, mount.nfs should return a help blurb though, not command not found......
[03:37] <ShortWave> meh

[03:41] <ShortWave> well that's odd
[03:41] <ubuntu1> cwillu: what would that do (assuming i was able to do it)
[03:42] <nickrud> Superbike32: the people in #vmware know vmware well
[03:42] <ShortWave> dpkg -L lists some nice directories
[03:42] <ShortWave> but no files
[03:42]  * ShortWave knows vmware well.
[03:42] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I missed that hosts allow bit....That may have been the cause of all this
[03:42] <nickrud> ShortWave: are you running the 64bit?
[03:42] <aszwet1> Error: Cannot connect to database to perform query tests.
[03:42] <Jay-Oh-En> bazhang: i meant like im using kde i have kubntu installed but i got bored of it so i want to use gnome again
[03:42] <aszwet1> why would i get that error using mysql admin?
[03:42] <cwillu> ubuntu1, it's a harddisk scanner;  if it said that, then the machine was probably rebooted once while it was running a scan (would've seemed like it had frozen due to a lack of progress on the boot screen)
[03:43] <ShortWave> nickrud: nope
[03:43] <ShortWave> nickrud: just a default ubuntu install
[03:43] <aszwet1> i created the database using:   mysqladmin -uroot -p create torrentflux
[03:43] <cwillu> ubuntu1, does it still give the busybox prompt if you select the recovery kernel in grub?
[03:43] <Jay-Oh-En> !pure
[03:43] <ubuntu1> cwillu: yes
[03:43] <aszwet1> then i tried  mysql -uroot -p torrentflux < mysql_torrentflux.sql
[03:43] <cwillu> ubuntu1, (it'll still give you a prompt, but it'll be a bash prompt instead of busybox)
[03:43] <aszwet1> and it didn't work
[03:43] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, ah, ok.
[03:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pure - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:44] <ubuntu1> cwillu: well if i could get a bash prompt i could do startx, right?
[03:44] <cwillu> ubuntu1, did it say anything about 'unable to mount root filesystem'?
[03:44] <AdemoS>  /msg ubotu flash
[03:44] <nickrud> cwillu: what does dpkg -L sun-java6-plugin say on your machine, do you see the oji (Im on 64bit so can't check)
[03:44] <thunterhm> i'm having a problem playing flac files. it was working yesterday, and i can't think of anything that has changed since then. i'm using totem and when i open the flac file with it, it says it can't find the plugin. seems like any other media player doesn't work either. mplayer can't decode it.
[03:44] <cwillu> ubuntu1, yes, although /etc/init.d/gdm start would be more what you're looking for
[03:45] <ubuntu1> cwillu: no, it is mounted, because i can browse around my HDD
[03:45] <cwillu> ShortWave, what nickrud said
[03:45] <nickrud> cwillu: ShortWave said he only had dirs listed, no oji
[03:45] <cwillu> ubuntu1, you're sure?  i.e., can you browse into your home directory?
[03:45] <cwillu> ah, one sec
[03:45] <ubuntu1> cwillu: yes, im sure
[03:45] <Jay-Oh-En> !puregnome
[03:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about puregnome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:45] <ubuntu1> i can get into my home directory
[03:45] <bazhang> !puregnome
[03:45] <aszwet1> where is the config.php found for mysql?
[03:46] <cwillu> nickrud, ya, same on mine
[03:46] <cwillu> no files, just plugin _dirs_
[03:46] <Ttech> I have a big issue with ubutnu that has started this morning. When I unplug my laptop from the powercord (fully charged) my laptop will go into hibernation. How od I fix this?
[03:46] <cwillu> and a doc file
[03:46] <cwillu> which I'm looking at
[03:46] <RoxanneEDM> hey guys i see it is very difficult to make a DVD from 2 AVI files under linux for some reason, would it be easier to just run Nero under Wine?
[03:46] <nickrud> must be something in the postinstall
[03:46] <cwillu> yep
[03:46] <bazhang> Jay-Oh-En: not sure how to go about that--odd because there is a factoid for purekde but not for pure gnome
[03:46] <Superbike32> nobody is responding on #VMWARE
[03:46] <ShortWave> well then
[03:46] <ShortWave> that's just odd
[03:46] <Superbike32> can anyone here help?
[03:46] <nickrud> yes
[03:46] <kunzy> Got a quick question.  Got the extra desktop effects running as well as the cube.  but the top and bottom of the cube are just a plain colored surface.  How do i make the surfaces transparent?  I have cube caps off.     Thanks
[03:47] <cwillu> nickrud, ShortWave, iirc, the sun package just downloads the jre from sun, et al
[03:47] <ShortWave> even looking at installed files in the properties in synaptic, I only see a list directories
[03:47] <pteague_work> how can i get ubuntu to let a game i'm in use print screen to create a screenshot rather than having ubuntu take a screenshot of the desktop?
[03:47] <Jay-Oh-En> bazhang: so what do i do?
[03:47] <cwillu> so if it fails, it looks like it's installed even though it isn't
[03:47] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I'll bite, that didn't work either. . .
[03:47] <RoxanneEDM> cube caps on
[03:47] <kunzy> and set the images for what?
[03:47] <cwillu> ShortWave, nickrud, that's why I mentioned to make sure everything was clean first
[03:47] <nickrud> cwillu: no the jre is a real package, it's made with java-package
[03:47] <aszwet1> how can you find a file let's say i wanted to find mysql_torrentflux.sql how would i find that?
[03:47] <RoxanneEDM> for whatever image you want
[03:47] <cwillu> hmm
[03:47] <aszwet1> using commandline?
[03:47] <bazhang> Jay-Oh-En: what is the purpose of this exercise? disk space limited?
[03:48] <cute_bettong> whats the command to trigger ubotu to tell me about sources and things that i might want to install?
[03:48] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, hmm...
[03:48] <cwillu> the folders are definately populated on my machine
[03:48] <cute_bettong> i don't want to do things automatically
[03:48] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Fall back to square one...try rebooting the desktop.
[03:48] <bazhang> cute_bettong: better to ask in the channel
[03:48] <joeamined> hi
[03:48] <rich1> hi.  i'm going to buy an intel wireless card.  the website talks aboutn row and mow wireless networks.  what is the difference and how do i find out which i have?
[03:48] <kunzy> well the thing i wanted to do, was in a video i saw on youtube.  It allowed you to see through the top the the desktop on the other side.   Do you know how to do that?
[03:48] <joeamined> is there anyone from canada here ?
[03:48] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, haha, ya. sorry, i don't know much else to say :S
[03:48] <squarebracket> joeamined, yes.
[03:48] <joeamined> i have a problem with sympatico bell adsl connection
[03:48] <nickrud> oh well I can't troubleshoot 32bit java, on a 64bit machine
[03:48] <ShortWave> well I got it working with the jre I downloaded manually
[03:48] <ShortWave> dammit
[03:49] <bazhang> !ca | joeamined
[03:49] <ubotu> joeamined: Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca
[03:49] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: It's no worries, I'm sure I just missed something really tiny like a coma, or I need a reboot on both ends....
[03:49] <squarebracket> joeamined, you're on videotron right on...
[03:49] <joeamined> squarebracket please i can't use my dsl connection with ubuntu
[03:49] <cwillu> nothing is claiming it owns the plugin file
[03:49] <joeamined> squarebracket no i'm on bell sympatico
[03:49] <RoxanneEDM> does anyone here run NERO under Wine?
[03:49] <squarebracket> joeamined, --> * joeamined<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[03:50] <nickrud> cwillu: make sure you're not checking a link, follow the links back thru /etc/alternatives to find the real file
[03:50] <joeamined> yes
[03:50] <joeamined> now i'm on videotron
[03:50] <ubuntu1> cwillu: any ideas on what i can do?
[03:50] <joeamined> but my connection is a bell sympatico and i can't get it to work on ubuntu
[03:50] <squarebracket> PurpZeY, ya, that's always possible... the number of times i've missed small things ;)
[03:50] <squarebracket> joeamined, you're sure it's just in ubuntu?
[03:50] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: Ok, wasn't the desktop. Let's try this end.
[03:50] <PurpZeY> brb.
[03:50] <joeamined> squarebracket, in linux in general
[03:51] <joeamined> i used the ppoeconf as mentioned on internet but it didn't work
[03:51] <squarebracket> joeamined, are you plugged into the modem using a usb cable or a network cable?
[03:51] <WooD> when we choose a size of partition and select a dynamic Partition in the software VirtualBox, if the partition become full, does the partition will increase by itself automaticcally ?
[03:51] <joeamined> i'm plugged using a network cable
[03:51] <kunzy> RoxanneEDM:  So do you know of a way to make it show whats on the other side of the cube through the top?
[03:51] <ouellettesr> what package do I need for opengl?
[03:51] <RoxanneEDM> am i the only person here that downloads movies and burns them to DVD?
[03:51] <cwillu> ubuntu1, do you have network access on that machine?  (i.e., can you ping google.com?)
[03:51] <nickrud> ouellettesr: the right driver for your video card
[03:52] <Hammer89> I'm trying to get Compiz-fusion to work running Ubuntu 7.10... when I try to enable it it gives me an error saying "The Composite extension is not available."  Can anyone here help me?
[03:52] <squarebracket> joeamined, you could try a usb cable maybe? sorry, but i don't know much about troubleshooting DSL :S
[03:52] <bazhang> RoxanneEDM: that sort of talk is not supported here
[03:52] <Joehaley> Question: What is the fastest and easyest way to transfer files between two computers over WLAN, both running ubuntu?
[03:52] <Jay-Oh-En> bazhang: no i just dont want kde programs with my ubuntu programs
[03:52] <nickrud> Hammer89: try running    compiz     in a terminal, you'll get more useful error messages. Don't paste it here :)
[03:52] <bazhang> Jay-Oh-En: then un install them
[03:52] <cwillu> nickrud, ShortWave aptitude reinstall restored the plugin files when I deleted them from the plugin directories (the symlinks at least)
[03:52] <squarebracket> joeamined, your problem has nothing to do with being canadian, though ;)
[03:53] <IdleOne> RoxanneEDM: we cannot support you in an illegal activity.
[03:53] <ShortWave> cwillu: weird. Didn't like mine at all.
[03:53] <Hammer89> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/m1d4a26e9
[03:53] <cwillu> ShortWave, libjavaplugin.so doesn't show up in usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ right?
[03:53] <ShortWave> cwillu: but no matter, I made it work with the official sun JRE.
[03:53] <RoxanneEDM> idle, they are not illegal files
[03:53] <ShortWave> cwillu: correct. For that matter, dpkg -L shows me...only directories
[03:54] <RAdams> How do you make Nautilus forget authenticated sessions?
[03:54] <nickrud> Hammer89: you have an ati chip? Which one?
[03:54] <RoxanneEDM> IdleOne:  its a movie called Steal This Film
[03:54] <Hammer89> nickrud: ATI Radeon Xpress 200m
[03:54] <RoxanneEDM> its not illegal
[03:54] <IdleOne> RoxanneEDM: still cant help you. google
[03:54] <Elusis> evening all
[03:54] <cwillu> RoxanneEDM, sorry, haven't played with burning dvd's at all;  if it's a dvd image (iso), then you should be able to directly burn it, other than that, don't know
[03:55] <nickrud> Hammer89:  system->admin->restricted drivers , select the ati driver. Reboot. That will give you the right driver. There's a couple more steps after that
[03:55] <cwillu> RoxanneEDM, if it's all the video_ts stuff, you _might_ be able to just burn it as files, but that's just me spouting off, not actually having tried that
[03:55] <Hammer89> nickrud: I've done that part
[03:55] <cwillu> ShortWave, same here
[03:55] <Hammer89> nickrud: what are the next steps?
[03:55] <RAdams> RoxanneEDM: google "xdvdshrink"
[03:55] <cwillu> only directories
[03:55] <nickrud> Hammer89: good.   fglrxinfo in a terminal, make sure it's using ati drivers, not mesa
[03:55] <Elusis> I have an issue with package management, any guru's in here care to offer a little help?
[03:55] <cwillu> Elusis, just ask, don't ask to ask
[03:55] <RAdams> !ask | Elusis
[03:55] <ubotu> Elusis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[03:55] <RoxanneEDM> thank you
[03:56] <aszwet1> is there anyone who can give me a hand with mySQL? i'm having problems with the password setting and creating databases
[03:56] <Fireal> Man the forums have become clustered over the years!  Anyways, anyone know a good place to go for this issue? My DVD-burner burned DVD-R's in other OS's, but it keeps prompting me to insert a blanck dvd (which I did) in gutsy no matter what program I use to burn a data-DVD
[03:56] <Fireal> *blank
[03:56] <RAdams> How do you make Nautilus forget authenticated sessions? For example, if I've gone to a web folder that requires a password, and I've selected "remember forever", and I want that password forgotten.
[03:56] <Hammer89> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d7c14ccf5
[03:56] <Starnestommy> aszwet1: tried asking #mysql ?
[03:57] <ouellettesr> nickrud: do you know what package contians the glu library?
[03:57] <Jay-Oh-En> bazhang: ok
[03:57] <Pici> RAdams: I believe that if you install seamonkey, you can manage what things your keyring has remembered.
[03:57] <pck> Fireal, this may sound stupid but are you sure you have a blank dvd in the drive? I got real embarrassed once.
[03:57] <nickrud> Hammer89: so far so good.  Next install  xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald  . Then log out, hit clt-alt-backspace for luck, and log back in.
[03:57] <RAdams> Pici: do you mean seahorse? or Seamonkey, the internet suite? o.O
[03:58] <Pici> RAdams: Er, seahorse.   Thanks I'll give that a shot.
[03:58] <cwillu> nickrud, is ctrl+alt+backspace ever going to be turned off?  every 6 months or so I get a call from a user wondering why their computer 'rebooted'
[03:58] <Elusis> um apparently i fixed it
[03:58] <Elusis> ;)
[03:58] <nickrud> ouellettesr: I think it's libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri
[03:59] <slyboots> Okay, Running Ubuntu on my Thinkpad R61.. I've got sound playback working but my Mic does not seem to record
[03:59] <|Quest|> anyone happen to know how to passively decrypt ssl packets from a mitm?
[03:59] <pck> Fireal: Another question I have to ask, have you googled your brands compatibility with linux? shouldn't be an issue but they DO exist for some things.
[03:59] <WooD> does KDE 4 is out for ubuntu ?
[03:59] <nickrud> cwillu: I don't know. It would make sense, but I would miss it
[03:59] <bazhang> WooD: no
[03:59] <slyboots> If I go into the Preferences >Sound > Audio Conferencing > Test recording, it throws up an error..
[04:00] <WooD> bazhang, ok
[04:00] <slyboots> gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing
[04:00] <cwillu> nickrud, I'd miss it too, but on the other hand, it's kinda embarrassing explaining how for most purposes we've brought back the hard ctrl+alt+delete from dos days
[04:00] <ouellettesr> nickrud ok thanks, it says those fiile are the newest version already, but im trying to compile quesoglc and it says it can't find it
[04:00] <slyboots> "failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc"
[04:01] <nano_> yeah its embarassing
[04:01] <Fireal> pck: Yes sir, but all that comes up are some lightscribe issues; btw I have an LG GSM-H42L internal burner
[04:01] <Elusis> anyone else here using synergy on multiple pc's?
[04:01] <nickrud> cwillu: yeah, I catch people getting told to clt-alt-<- and have to warn them about lost work.
[04:01] <RAdams> Pici: for the record, you were right. Seahorse is the app I wanted.
[04:02] <nickrud> ouellettesr: you need the development headers, a sec
[04:02] <Pici> RAdams: Great :)
[04:02] <ouellettesr> ok
[04:02] <nickrud> ouellettesr: install libgl1-mesa-dev , that has the headers
[04:02] <Hammer89> Nickrud: got it working... but it's making my window borders look really messed up...
[04:03] <|Quest|> anyone happen to know how to passively decrypt ssl packets from a mitm?
[04:03] <IdleOne> !info gimmie | cwillu

[04:03] <nickrud> Hammer89: messed up? like Missing?
[04:03] <cwillu> nickrud, even having ctrl+alt+backspace set to switch to a different vterm with a fullscreen 'did you really want to do this'
[04:03] <ouellettesr> nickrud that's weird I already have that too
[04:03] <nickrud> yah :)
[04:03] <cwillu> IdleOne, thanks
[04:04] <pck> Fireal: Has ubuntu recognized the device? Go System->Preferences->Hardware Information
[04:04] <IdleOne> np
[04:04] <cwillu> IdleOne, although you confused me there, was wondering why I had asked about it in #ubuntu :p
[04:04] <nickrud> ouellettesr: then for the file it claims it can't find, do a search on packages.ubuntu.com .  See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubotu <keyword>): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense...
[04:05] <Hammer89> nickrud: ah... okay :D
[04:05] <pck> Fireal: I don't have a DVD burner on this comp, but my corresponding line reads CDRW/DVD TSL462c should look sorta like that
[04:06] <aszwet1> is there a way to go up one directory?
[04:06] <Pici> aszwet1: cd ..
[04:06] <Fireal> pck:  well I am having trouble finding it, got a buzz word to look for?  I have played cd's and dvd's on it however and it does mount the blank disc
[04:07] <aszwet1> pici no just one directory
[04:07] <Pici> aszwet1: yes, that goes up one directory.
[04:07] <Fireal> pck: I'm a little slow, I'll look again
[04:07] <aszwet1> ok
[04:07] <pck> Fireal: Look for DVDRW
[04:07] <aszwet1> oh lol
[04:07] <Pici> aszwet1: cd . is the current directory, it goes no where ;)
[04:07] <aszwet1> didn't see the perious
[04:08] <pck> pck: mines mounted under my SATA controller but it could be different on your motherboard
[04:09] <Fireal> pck: found it finally, it's there but under scsi device
[04:09] <pck> Fireal: you can use ctrl+f to use the find feature
[04:09] <pck> Fireal: sweet
[04:09] <Fireal> psk: now you tell me :)
[04:11] <pck> Fireal: Sorry - forgot that *might* be helpful. lol. Anyways click on it and make sure that its recognizing that storage.cdrom.dvdr and/or storage.cdrom.dvdrw are true (if you don't have re-write, that one will be false).
[04:13] <Fireal> pck: storage.cdrom.dvdr, dvdrw, & dvdram all "true"
[04:14] <pck> Fireal: Ok thats good, now check storage.removable.media_available
[04:15]  * nickrud wonders how many people are following along with Fireal
[04:16] <mattholimeau> i'm trying to install the cisco vpn client on linux and am getting errors... anyone around who wouldn't mind helping me out?
[04:16] <Fireal> psk: true also.   Also when pop a dvd-r or dvd+rw it opens the default nautilus cd/dvd creator
[04:16] <pck> Its a habit
[04:16] <pck> damn
[04:16] <Rudd-O> hai guise, how do I boot a livecd with text mode kernel messages showing on screen?
[04:17] <pck> I really don't know whats going wrong then.
[04:17] <Rudd-O> what f6 option should I type?
[04:17] <Wiseguy> hey guys is there a program installed by default to use an ipod with... i tried amarok and am having lots of problems with it
[04:17] <Rudd-O> Wiseguy: gtkpod ?
[04:17] <Dr_willis> !ipod
[04:17] <cakedonkey> is anyone currently running BOINC from UC-Berkeley?
[04:17] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[04:17] <bazhang> http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod for the new nano Wiseguy
[04:18] <nickrud> Wiseguy: if it's one of the latest ipods, none of the ubuntu stuff will work with it yet
[04:18] <Fireal> psk: man, well at least you made me feel more confident that it should work.  Thanks, I'll keep looking and trying anything I can think of
[04:18] <RyanPrior> If I have a CD writing application, can I make it believe that it's writing to a CD but actually have it write to an ISO?
[04:18] <pck> Fireal: sorry, my best guess that that somehow your media wasn't being detected correctly. I really don't know how to proceed from here.
[04:18] <PurpZeY> squarebracket: I got nothing...Did both reboot, the services are running properly, I added to hosts.allow and hosts.deny....I can't figure it
[04:18] <bazhang> Wiseguy: the new nano does work; also with gtk--see the link
[04:19] <zero88> where is the log files at so i can view them. my computer has fo some reason turned off by itself a few times now and i would like to see why
[04:19] <nickrud> bazhang: which nano? rhythmbox (and i asume the current libgpod) broke my 3d gen
[04:20] <Fireal> pck: hey thanks anyways
[04:20] <pck> Fireal: if you figure it out post your solution to the forums - this ones kinda funny. it also may be fixed by a clean install.
[04:20] <nickrud> I only wanted to charge it ;(
[04:20] <Fireal> pck:  I was thinking that but refusing to believe it :(
[04:20] <Rudd-O> hai guise, how do I boot a livecd with text mode kernel messages showing on screen?
[04:21] <pck> Fireal: Updating my fiesty caused a few wierd networking problems with no solution that magically (or not so) went away with a clean gutsy install
[04:21] <bazhang> nickrud: the latest nano? the workaround has been around for a week or so now
[04:21] <nickrud> bazhang: ah, it's on that page then? looking
[04:21] <PurpZeY> Can someone help me troubleshoot a problem with NFS? I've followed all of the Howto directions, done everything I think is proper but it doesn't seem to work
[04:21] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: Why do you want text mode?
[04:21] <Rudd-O> because I need to see the kernel ringbuffer
[04:21] <nickrud> bazhang: you gotta remember, I'm old, I don't move as fast anymore
[04:21] <Rudd-O> the machine is hanging some point and I need to know where
[04:21] <bazhang> nickrud: dont believe it :}
[04:21] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: Have you tried the safe display mode?
[04:22] <darrell> hi
[04:22] <Fireal> pck: on a clean install, this is a bummer
[04:23] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: I NEED the kernel ringbuffer, I don't want the safe display mode, I already tried it to no avail
[04:23] <Rudd-O> I just don't want the splash screen

[04:23] <unnamed> hi all people
[04:24] <ComBat> Guten Tag
[04:24] <googlah> hi
[04:24] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: As I know,the livecd hasn't a text mode option. Maybe you would have a try of Alternative CD.
[04:24] <Rudd-O> so how do I prevent the splashscreen from showing AND show the ringbuffer?
[04:24] <zero88> why would i only have a few days of messages in /var/log/messages?
[04:24] <Rudd-O> zero88: the logs are rotated every week
[04:24] <Rudd-O> log for messages.1, messages.2 et al
[04:24] <zero88> Rudd-O, ah i see thank
[04:25] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: Alternative CD maybe work for you.
[04:25] <slyboots> Does anyone know any method that would allow me to change the way Gnome launches Compiz?
[04:25] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: what does the alt. cd have?
[04:25] <darkkith> slyboots the session manager probably
[04:25] <joeamine1> hi
[04:25] <slyboots> Apparently to work on my graphics chipset, I have to pass the argument SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace
[04:25] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: How do you get the livecd.Downloading and burning, or shipped by mail?
[04:25] <slyboots> But I cant find any way to make Gnome or Compiz run that as the default behaviour
[04:26] <joeamine1> anyone can help how to get a wireless connection from bell canada to work on linix
[04:26] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: dude, I ASKED what is different, what do I get from the alternate CD that will help me see the kernel ringbuffer on boot
[04:26] <slyboots> darkkith: What? System > Preferences > Sessions?
[04:26] <PurpZeY> Can someone help me fix this NFS problem? I believe I've set hosts.allow and hosts.deny properly....But I am still getting "failed: server is down" and I can't figure out why at all I have NO IDEA
[04:26] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: The alternative CD seems to have a text mode to install.
[04:26] <darkkith> slyboots try going to Menu -> system -> administration -> sessions
[04:26] <nickrud> slyboots: the following should work: mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager
[04:26] <satria> hi all, i am from indonesia, edubuntu 7.04
[04:26] <Rudd-O> hmmmm all I want is something that disables the splash screen
[04:27] <nickrud> !welcome | satria

[04:28] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: Are you in install process or you have completed the install.
[04:28] <WinShade> hey ok, is celeron processor considered i686?
[04:28] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: dude, F6 boot options, it should be clear that I'm on the boot process
[04:28] <WinShade> *ix686
[04:29] <nickrud> WinShade: yes
[04:29] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: Oh I see. Have you tried to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:29] <nickrud> WinShade: i686 is pentium II and above, irrc
[04:29] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: how do you edit menu.lst on a READONLY CD-ROM?
[04:29] <Rudd-O> jeezzz
[04:29] <PurpZeY> nickrud: Any interest in taking a crack at this NFS issue I'm having?
[04:29] <WinShade> ic
[04:30] <nickrud> PurpZeY: never used nfs for even a second
[04:30] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O:  That is to say, you havn
[04:30] <Rudd-O> on Fedora I do this by typing "text" on the command line of syslinux, how do I do the same on Ubuntu?
[04:30] <PurpZeY> nickrud: touche`
[04:30] <slyboots> Okay, trying agian
[04:30] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: you havn't installed the ubuntu completely
[04:30] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: obviously NOT
[04:31] <haymaker> anyone know how i can prevent gnome panel from starting when i log in?
[04:31] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: So I recommand you to use an alternative CD rather than your livecd to install.
[04:31] <Rudd-O> zhan_zr: my friend sez the alt. cd wrecks his partitions
[04:31] <mabus> any idea how I can find out what linux driver my wifi card uses? it's a tew-424ub (hardware revision 4.2), which has been reportedly working in ndiswrapper but I'd like to find out what driver to use. other users have reported using the zd1211b driver for the zydas chipset, but mine appears as a realtek
[04:31] <cwillu> haymaker, I think it's in gnome-session config, but I'm not sure
[04:31] <cwillu> haymaker, what are you trying to do?
[04:32] <zhan_zr> Rudd-O: Sorry,no clues.
[04:32] <Rudd-O> anyone know how to prevent the livecd from presenting the splashscreen?
[04:32] <zhan_zr> mabus: I am using zd1121 wifi card.
[04:32] <haymaker> i have awn running, i dont want gnome panels anymore
[04:32] <slyboots> Right, did not work :P
[04:32] <cwillu> haymaker, just remove them
[04:32] <PurpZeY> Anyone have experience with NFS? I can't seem to connect to my server
[04:32] <cwillu> haymaker, right click, remove this panel
[04:32] <haymaker> when i right click the last one, i get a shaded remove panel
[04:32] <Dr_willis> Rudd-O,  edit the grub boot options and append 'nosplash' to the end. (perhaps  use nofb nosplash)
[04:32] <cwillu> heh
[04:32] <cwillu> one sec
[04:33] <Rudd-O> Dr_willis: can't edit menu.lst, it's a LIVE CD
[04:33] <cwillu> preferences | sessions | current session, look for gnome-panel
[04:33] <cwillu> haymaker, ^^^
[04:33] <nickrud> haymaker: in the session dialog, select gnome-panel . Then down below, make it normal instead of restart.  alt-f2 pkill gnome-panel, it should die and not restart. Save the session
[04:33] <Dr_willis> Rudd-O,  hit E at tegh grub menu - and edit the lines that way
[04:33] <Rudd-O> if someone makes me say that again for the fifth time, I swear I'm just gonna log off because it's esaier to just reboot a hundred times trying random shit
[04:34] <Rudd-O> Dr_willis: the livecd uses syslinux, not grub, as far as I know
[04:34] <haymaker> i mean that is how to stop it from starting when i log in
[04:34] <nickrud> orm, sorry cwillu
[04:34] <cwillu> haymaker, that's what you want
[04:34] <Rudd-O> you can't hit E on the boot screen of the livecd
[04:34] <cwillu> nickrud, np ;p
[04:34] <astro76> !language | Rudd-O
[04:34] <ubotu> Rudd-O: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:34] <Dr_willis> Rudd-O,  does it? been ages since ive booted it.
[04:34] <Rudd-O> you only have F1 to F6 to hit, and F6 shows me a command line
[04:34] <Rudd-O> Dr_willis: I'm a hundred percent sure it uses syslinux or isolinux, NOT grub
[04:34] <cwillu> that's the line you want to edit I believe
[04:34] <Dr_willis> thena gain - i use the alternative isntaller cd. that may be different.
[04:35] <bazhang> Rudd-O: try the alternate installer
[04:35] <cwillu> Rudd-O, nosplash should do it, I believe
[04:35] <cwillu> Rudd-O, are you trying to get to single user, or just normal session with no splash?
[04:35] <Pici> cwillu: hes trying to boot the live-cd for an install iirc.
[04:36] <cwillu> Rudd-O, also I think you can hit ctrl-alt-f7 at boot to skip out of the splash screen after it shows up
[04:36] <Shi-Lang> using alternative install for Ubuntu the text based installer, the formatting seems ot hang on 33%
[04:36] <Shi-Lang> is this troublematic?
[04:36] <cwillu> Shi-Lang, hang for how long?  a big drive might take 20 minutes
[04:36] <Shi-Lang> at 33%?
[04:36] <Shi-Lang> 80 gb drive newish
[04:37] <cwillu> percentage probably includes subtasks, and 33% is probably just at one of those tasks
[04:37] <IdleOne> Shi-Lang: how long?
[04:37] <bazhang> Shi-Lang: give it some time
[04:37] <cwillu> Shi-Lang, format, not a convert, right?
[04:37] <haymaker> cwillu, how do i save session?
[04:37] <Shi-Lang> yes format
[04:37] <Shi-Lang> but nevermind it finished s i typed this ^-^
[04:37] <cwillu> haymaker, not dead sure;  either apply, or session options | remember applications, or just do a clean logout
[04:38] <cwillu> haymaker, one of those should do it ;p
[04:38] <nickrud> haymaker: last tab on that session dialog
[04:38] <Rudd-O> ok guys
[04:38] <Rudd-O> thanks
[04:38] <haymaker> nickrud, just click the button?  if i have xchat and all sorts of programs open will it launch them automatically?
[04:38] <Rudd-O> to the extent that that's possible
[04:38] <Shi-Lang> (((((((((((((((Ubuntu-Technicoams))))))))))))))
[04:39] <Shi-Lang> ((()))) == hugs
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Hmm - I see mention of F6 getting to some boot options in a forum post for the live cd.. but that may be a bit out of date
[04:39] <Shi-Lang> alrightythen, proceedign to install the OS itself now *crosses fingers*
[04:40] <cwillu> haymaker, only if you hit the checkbox
[04:41] <ganymede> hello, i was wondering if it is normal for the livecd to list the master on my primary IDE (PATA drive) as /dev/sda?
[04:41] <nickrud> ganymede: yes, there's a new scheme out there, the next link will explain a bit
[04:41] <nickrud> !uuid
[04:41] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[04:42] <grekkos> yeah i was wondering about that too actually
[04:42] <grekkos> my friend's hard drive comes up as SDA
[04:42] <grekkos> i assumed it had to do with the type of hard drive
[04:43] <ganymede> nickrud: but if i would like to install grub for the purposing of booting another distro (i am using the livecd to make LFS) then i should pretend that it will become /dev/hda, right?
[04:44] <grekkos> I would just set up the partitions of that drive and leave one for the other distro
[04:44] <grekkos> oh wait what's LFS
[04:44] <nickrud> ganymede: no, you should use the uuid or to refer to the kernel device now,
[04:45] <nickrud> ganymede: and also in the fstab.
[04:45] <nickrud> ganymede: it's kinda nifty. If you move the partition with dd, the uuid goes with it and grub will automatically follow apparently. Helped a guy with this today
[04:45] <Randompolygamy> Hey guys, whats the addon with the bomb idion that starts with a B i believe, ?
[04:46] <Randompolygamy> s/idion/icon/
[04:46] <Shi-Lang> k installing the base system seems to have failed i dont know why it didnt say
[04:46] <nickrud> Shi-Lang: did you run the disk check on the startup menu
[04:47] <Shi-Lang> this was the text version
[04:47] <ObNockShus> hello.
[04:47] <Shi-Lang> doing dik check now with the gui version dvd
[04:47] <queuetue> Grr.  I've burned the alternate install, and it boots, but then cannot mount the cdrom "Try again to mount the cd-rom?"
[04:48] <Shi-Lang> brb
[04:48] <zhan_zr> queuetue:
[04:48] <zhan_zr> queuetue: have you verify the CD integrity
[04:48] <queuetue> zhan_zr, Yes.
[04:48] <lixoman100> Hello. I'm trying to do manual partitioning to set up encrypted volumes with the Ubuntu alternate CD as an experiment (as in, no problem losing any data). I managed to create the encrypted partitions and setup mount point and so on, but I wanted to remove the encrypted partitions and start over. Is there any way to remove the encrypted partitions from the hard drive inside the installer? If...
[04:48] <lixoman100> ...not, how can I do that, then?
[04:49] <queuetue> zhan_zr, On the console, I see sense_key errors, I/O errors, and inode errors.
[04:49] <maco> HOLA AMIGOS!!!!!!!!
[04:49] <maco> COMO LES VA???
[04:49] <ObNockShus> Can anyone help me load my firewall? I'm getting this error when I try to load it -----> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[04:50] <Randompolygamy> maco:  im not a Grfingo
[04:50] <nickrud> ObNockShus: run that command (sudo dpkg etc) in a terminal
[04:50] <Shi-Lang> disk checker says it found an error in 1 file
[04:50] <nickrud> Shi-Lang: you have to burn another
[04:51] <Shi-Lang> ive burnt 5 different cd's and dvd's
[04:51] <VARGUX> /server irc.frenode.net
[04:51] <maco> randompolygamy NADIE SE REFERIA A TI, GRINGO!!!
[04:51] <Shi-Lang> if it hasnt worked already then it will never work
[04:51] <ObNockShus> nickrud I tried that and I got this -----> dpkg: need an action option
[04:51] <VARGUX> /server irc.frenode.net
[04:51] <VARGUX> :)
[04:51] <queuetue> Is an upgrade from 6 a more stable way to install 7? :)
[04:51] <bazhang> maco please stop
[04:52] <nickrud> Shi-Lang: it does happen, try burning at a lower speed, after checking the iso's md5sum , see next link
[04:52] <nickrud> !md5
[04:52] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows

[04:52] <queuetue> Why exactly are ubuntu CDs so much more likely to burn improperly than any other cd I've ever used?
[04:53] <nickrud> queuetue: good question.
[04:53] <ObNockShus> nickrud ahh. I typed it wrong.
[04:53] <Randompolygamy> ameranth, you should have let him stay, i was going to tell him to leave or i was going to call the irc imigration
[04:54] <bazhang> queuetue: not sure what you mean; not had that experience here--likely bad media or fast burn speed
[04:54] <VARGUX> /msn VARGUX register 22dic2012
[04:54] <zhan_zr> queuetue: I think maybe it is because of the file system. The whole file system is a big squalish file.
[04:54] <ObNockShus> nickrud. Sweet! it's loading. Thanks a bunch
[04:55] <bazhang> VARGUX: should change that password
[04:55] <queuetue> If I try to run a disk verify now, it does the same thing - starts booting linux and .. "you installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted"
[04:55] <cwillu> queuetue, what zhan_zr said:  a compressed file is much more sensitive to a single bit error than a mp3 cd, a cd of documents, etc
[04:56] <cwillu> queuetue, try booting with nodma
[04:56] <cwillu> queuetue, some older machines have trouble
[04:56] <tssom> When i boot ubuntu recovery mode, and i get to the point to enter root password or ctrl+D to continue. Will pushing ctrl+D boot me straight into normal mode? or do i need to rebot and boot from regular ubuntu?
[04:56] <queuetue> cwillu, This is a very new machine, but ... what's nodma?
[04:57] <queuetue> AHA, "no dma" - nodma on the command line?
[04:59] <lixoman100> Is there a way to remove an encrypted volume from the hard drive on the alternate CD installer partitioner?
[04:59] <ObNockShus> nickrud Is the a sort of checklist that will show me the ubuntu/linux commands and what they do?
[04:59] <cwillu> lixoman100, as in, delete it?
[04:59] <lixoman100> cwillu: yes
[05:00] <nickrud> ObNockShus: they're scattered around, but !terminal and !apt will tell you some stuff to start with
[05:00] <cwillu> lixoman100, should be the same as any other partition, unless it's not really a partition (eg, hidden inside an existing partition)
[05:00] <nickrud> !terminal > ObNockShus (see pm)
[05:00] <hugh> My computer just crashed when I had a some moderately useful unsaved texted in gedit.  Does gedit periodically cache unsaved files somewhere incase of a crash?
[05:00] <nickrud> !apt > ObNockShus
[05:00] <lixoman100> cwillu: it says I can't because it is being used as a encrypted physical volume sda1_crypt
[05:01] <cwillu> hugh, there's an option, but it's off by default I think
[05:01] <cwillu> hugh, preference | editor if you want to check
[05:01] <queuetue> cwillu, ide=nodma makes no difference.
[05:01] <palichis> maco estas aqui
[05:01] <ObNockShus> nickrud Very nice. Thanks very much again.
[05:01] <palichis> alguien a visto a maco?
[05:01] <Shi-Lang> according to Md5Sum the hashes are the same
[05:02] <cwillu> lixoman100, dunno then (haven't used encrypted file systems much)
[05:02] <nickrud> Shi-Lang: then burn at a lower speed, we see this a lot
[05:02] <cwillu> lixoman100, could try unmounting it from another vt
[05:02] <bazhang> palichis: not here anymore
[05:02] <mattholimeau> quick question... what's the best way to convert a text file from dos to linux? wasn't it something like dos2linux?
[05:02] <palichis> why???
[05:02] <cwillu> lixoman100, alt+f2, mount, umount the matching mount
[05:02] <PurpZeY> text file from dos 2 linux?
[05:02] <cwillu> lixoman100, and alt+f1 to get back
[05:02] <j1mc> hugh: there's an 'autosave ever X number of minutes' option, but you need to check the box
[05:02] <mattholimeau> PurpZeY: yeah
[05:02] <queuetue> Is there a way to do a net-only install?
[05:02] <lixoman100> cwillu: yes I'm giving it a try today so I can get the hang of it. but I just found out that I had some partitions set up on the encrypted drive that I needed to remove first, dumb me. thank you
[05:02] <palichis> bazhang, why?
[05:02] <cwillu> queuetue, yes;  there should be a guide on the wiki
[05:02] <cwillu> !netinstall
[05:02] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[05:02] <Shi-Lang> why the hel does it need to burn at  a lower speed? dvd's are abut a dollar each, thats going to be roughly 5-10$ in the drain when im through
[05:03] <bazhang> !minimal | queuetue
[05:03] <ubotu> queuetue: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[05:03] <queuetue> I don't have a floppy drive anymore, but ... ugh.
[05:03] <nickrud> palichis: he was shouting, and not staying on topic. If he wants back (his ban will expire) have him (or you) ask on #ubuntu-ops
[05:03] <lixoman100> cwillu: and thank you for the alt+f2 tip, that might come in handy in the future :)
[05:03] <bazhang> palichis: kicked from the channel
[05:03] <mattholimeau> anyone? text file from dos formatting to linux formatting? i know there's a command - i just can't think of it
[05:03] <cwillu> queuetue, you can do a netboot if you have a capable network card (most modern are, although you usually need to change the bios), and a spare computer
[05:03] <cwillu> mattholimeau, apropos is your friend
[05:04] <crackintosh> Could someone suggest the proper syntax for finding all files with a ._ in front of the file name? I did 'ls -alR | grep ._* however that is not returning the proper results, do I have to escape any of those characters?
[05:04] <theLichKing> is there a program that allows you to enter tasks, organize time, put deadlines and then show this information in a neat way on the desktop or in a side bar?
[05:04] <queuetue> Uhm, what "code name" is 7.10?
[05:04] <cwillu> gutsy
[05:04] <PurpZeY> gutsy gibbon
[05:05] <palichis> ok gracias
[05:05] <atoponce> how long should it take to shrink a partition from 93GB to 35GB?
[05:05] <atoponce> on a moderately fast hdd
[05:05] <cwillu> atoponce, depends on how fragmented it is, and how full it is
[05:05] <PurpZeY> Can anyone suggest why my NFS client will not connect to my server? I believe I set all of the permissions according to the HowTo, I can't seem to figure out why I can't connect
[05:05]  * cwillu gave up on nfs years ago
[05:05] <atoponce> cwillu: shouldn't be fragmented, at least not bad, and it's about 1/3 full
[05:06] <PurpZeY> cwillu: So you'd use samba even for Ubuntu <--> Ubuntu?
[05:06] <Jeriath> ok, im trying to mount from a network drive of my windows pc using samba.....when i use smbmount, i get: Could not resolve mount point
[05:06] <cwillu> PurpZeY, well, I use ssh for that (nautilus can use ssh:// urls)
[05:06] <falieson> alright, I installed a soundblaster x-fi card and I'm using the digital I/O module (from soundblaster) to digital out (optical) to the optical in on my receiver... but I don't hear anything from my speakers when i turn it over
[05:06] <cwillu> PurpZeY, but I use samba for ubuntu->mythtv, for instance
[05:06] <Shi-Lang> there is no option to have a lower write speed with DVD's
[05:06] <cwillu> more reliable in my experience
[05:06] <PurpZeY> cwillu: I want to play my mp3s from my desktop on my laptop when they are sharing a router
[05:06] <Shi-Lang> what the hell am I sup;posed to do?
[05:07] <jw--> I have downloaded Gutsy and burned it at 4x, however when i attempt to check the cd for errors on the menu, I get a line across the screen and I have to hard reboot. Any ideas?
[05:07] <Shi-Lang> oh wait
[05:07] <Shi-Lang> nevermind
[05:07] <Shi-Lang> clicked cd by acciden
[05:07] <cwillu> PurpZeY, I'd go with samba,
[05:07] <PurpZeY> cwillu: The GUI install is called swat?
[05:07] <mattholimeau> cwillu - how was that not appropriate?
[05:07] <Shi-Lang> Alright people, is 2.4x speed slow enough?
[05:07] <cwillu> PurpZeY, no, file sharing dialog in system will have it
[05:07] <cwillu> mattholimeau, ?
[05:07] <Jeriath> anyone
[05:07] <PurpZeY> Shi-Lang: The slower, the safer.
[05:07] <Jeriath> ?
[05:08] <cwillu> ah
[05:08] <cwillu> mattholimeau, apropos is a command
[05:08] <PurpZeY> cwillu: So, how would I set it up?
[05:08] <dejuren> !seen fatman
[05:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen fatman - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:08] <lixoman100> Which size should I make my /boot partition to be safe?
[05:08] <queuetue> hah
[05:08] <mattholimeau> ah - google hit dictionary.com first
[05:08] <cwillu> PurpZeY, system | shared folders
[05:08] <mattholimeau> i'll hit man, hah
[05:08] <cwillu> lol
[05:09] <cwillu> mattholimeau, I'm not sure if there's anything installed by default, and apropos only searches installed man's;  searching add/remove apps or synaptic should find you something though
[05:09] <zhan_zr> lixoman100: You needn't specified a indepent /boot partion
[05:09] <mattholimeau> hahahahah - that WAS a RTFM comment! nice! thanks though - i didn't know that one
[05:09] <zhan_zr> lixoman100: Just let it in / partion is Okay.
[05:09] <lixoman100> zhan_zr: in my case I do, because I'm setting my / to be encrypted
[05:09] <mattholimeau> it'll come in handy if i can remember about it, heh
[05:09] <cwillu> mattholimeau, apropos is probably my favourite command :p
[05:09] <cwillu> second only to ssh
[05:10] <PurpZeY> cwillu: Then how do I access these folders on the client?
[05:10] <zhan_zr> lixoman100: Oh ,50M is okay.
[05:10] <cwillu> PurpZeY, places | connect to server\
[05:10] <lixoman100> zhan_zr: thank you :)
[05:10] <cwillu> PurpZeY, although, what music player do you use?
[05:10] <mattholimeau> ah - if anyone cared - i was looking for the dos2unix command
[05:10] <mattholimeau> finally found it
[05:10] <cwillu> ahah
[05:10] <PurpZeY> cwillu: XMMS
[05:11] <cwillu> PurpZeY, you _might_ need to mess with /etc/fstab then;  anyone, does ubuntu have a fstab gui yet?
[05:11] <cwillu> haven't paid attention to that yet
[05:11] <PurpZeY> cwillu: the type of server is SSH and then the IP is the server addy?
[05:11] <mattholimeau> gah! it's not in ubuntu!
[05:11] <cwillu> PurpZeY, servername.local should work without an ip
[05:12] <rencore_> why does ubuntu never see new usb devices that i connect
[05:12] <cwillu> PurpZeY, ssh does need openssh-server installed first though
[05:12] <cwillu> rencore_, what type of usb device?
[05:12] <logan> hello! I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with internet connection sharing
[05:12] <cwillu> rencore_, probably need to yell at the manufacturer
[05:12] <rencore_> cwillu, if i try and plug the mouse in after it has booted then the mouse wont work and neither does my ipod
[05:13] <cwillu> rencore_, that sounds familiar
[05:13] <bazhang> rencore_: new nano?
[05:13] <cwillu> does it work if the ipod isn't plugged in?
[05:13] <rencore_> bazhang, no its an iPod Classic
[05:13] <ouellettesr> kello I have a 7" touchscreen and I ubuntu wants to start in safe graphics mode, aren't there grub options I can set to make it work?
[05:13] <ouellettesr> hello*
[05:14] <rencore_> cwillu, no if im already logged in ubuntu doesnt recognize any newly added devices
[05:14] <logan> basically, i used firestarter to set up internet connection sharing, and my xp computer can connect to ubuntu (and ubuntu can see requests from the xp computer), but ubuntu is not giving the xp computer anything at all
[05:14] <bazhang> http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:IPod rencore also some gtk stuff there
[05:14] <rencore_> cwillu, i have to restart in order for it to notice
[05:14] <rencore_> bazhang, its not about my ipod its about new devices
[05:14] <cwillu> rencore_, let me backup.  if you restart without the ipod ever plugged in, will it detect new devices?
[05:15] <rencore_> cwillu, no it has nothing to do with the ipod im just using it as an example
[05:15] <cwillu> rencore_, stock kernel?  what happens if you run udevmonitor, and then plug something in?
[05:15] <irv> I'm trying to streamline my boot process and I have found that every time i restart, the network manager re-enables wireless. i want it disabled by default.
[05:15] <cwillu> rencore_, does anything print out?
[05:15] <rencore_> cwillu, lemme try and yes it is stock
[05:16] <cwillu> irv, go into the network settings, and set wireless to non-roaming
[05:16] <tssom> how do you cd to a folder with spaces in it?
[05:16] <Starnestommy> tssom: cd
[05:16] <Starnestommy> whoops
[05:16] <Starnestommy> cd "folder with spaces"
[05:16] <irv> i tried that, except the okay button is greyed out
[05:16] <holycow> does anyone know the name of the module the nvidia chipset would use for the nic card?
[05:16] <cwillu> tssom, hit tab before the space, or type it as folder\ name\ with\ spaces
[05:16] <rencore_> cwillu, ok i removed the mouse and it detected it but when i plug it back in it doesnt
[05:16]  * Starnestommy kicks his keyboard
[05:17] <tssom> cwillu: thanks
[05:17] <amit> #list
[05:17] <cwillu> rencore_, odd
[05:17] <falieson> grrr
[05:17] <rencore_> cwillu, so now if i wanted it to work again i would need to plug it in and restart
[05:18] <cwillu> rencore_, this is a bit of a long shot, but do you have legacy usb device support enabled in your bios?
[05:18] <xLE> can you do more than 1 sudo thing at a time?
[05:18] <cwillu> xLE, sudo foo; sudo bar would work
[05:18] <nick__> I think you put && in between commands?
[05:18] <rencore_> cwillu, i have no idea
[05:18] <nick__> aah
[05:18] <nickrud> xLE: sudo only works on the immediately following command
[05:18] <cwillu> xLE, you can also do sudo -s to get a shell, but pretend I didn't tell you that
[05:18] <irv> if i un-check the "enable roaming" box, I can't click okay to apply the settings... unless i set an ip address
[05:18] <anon> hello
[05:18] <nickrud> cwillu: sudo -i , shame on you :0
[05:18] <anon> i got a question
[05:19] <Starnestommy> anon: yes?
[05:19] <bazhang> rencore_: is this possibly a poll irq problem?
[05:19] <anon> if i pause and resume my download from the FTP server
[05:19] <anon> will i cause data corruption?
[05:19] <xLE> i mean like.. can i do 2 sudo apt-get install's on two terminals at the same time?
[05:19] <bazhang> anon downloading what
[05:19] <logan> xLE: yes
[05:19] <rencore_> bazhang, im the one asking the question so i have no idea
[05:20] <anon> and if i md5 check my download when it finishes after pausing and resuming 10 times , will the download still be ok if the md5 sum match?
[05:20] <anon> downloading Ubuntu DVD
[05:20] <logan> xLE: oh wait, well if one installer is going i don't think you can
[05:20] <nickrud> xLE: no, you can only have one apt action going at a time. Nothing to do with sudo, though
[05:20] <xLE> how? i always get permission errors..etc
[05:20] <logan> xLE: but you can def do more than one sudo
[05:20] <tonyyarusso> anon: yes
[05:20] <xLE> k =[
[05:20] <cwillu> nickrud, how is sudo -s <type type type> worse than sudo command; sudo command; sudo command?
[05:20] <bazhang> logan: iirc that is not possible
[05:20] <nickrud> xLE: butyou can have more than one package by:  sudo apt-get install package1 package2 ....
[05:20] <cwillu> it's the same environment no?
[05:21] <yummymummy> hello all i am trying to play a few different games my husband installed for me on ubuntu. i am running 7.10 all the latest updates are installed all i get with any open gl game is a black screen anyone have any idea why is it cos i have a onboard video card ? i have the latest nvidia drivers installed from the system.
[05:21] <anon> tonyyarusso, i've heard that md5 sums can match and the file still can be different?
[05:21] <anon> is this true???
[05:21] <tonyyarusso> anon: In a theoretical sense, sure.  Not in practice.
[05:21] <logan> i have a question myself :D : i used firestarter to set up internet connection sharing, and my xp computer can connect to ubuntu (and ubuntu can see requests from the xp computer), but ubuntu is not giving the xp computer anything at all
[05:21] <cwillu> anon, it's true for any hash function, but md5 collisions are actually starting to become feasible
[05:21] <nickrud> cwillu: the shame on you was for even mentioning sudo -s|i :)
[05:22] <cwillu> nickrud, that was the 'pretend I didn't say this' :p
[05:22] <cwillu> although I should have made it a pm I guess :/
[05:22] <anon> tonnyyarusso: Bottomline: if the md5 sum of the file match, it's a perfect 1:1 copy from the server?
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> anon: for your purposes, yes
[05:22] <anon> ok
[05:22] <anon> kthx
[05:23] <logan> basically i just want to observe traffic sent to my windows computer- the linux computer really doesn't need to utilize the connection. Is there any way to do this?
[05:23] <cwillu> anon, sha256sum is the paranoid varient, sha1sum is for most purposes, md5sum is deprecated
[05:23] <logan> (i have 2 nics, windows is connected through to linux box, linux is connected to router)
[05:23] <yummymummy> hello all i am trying to play a few different games my husband installed for me on ubuntu. i am running 7.10 all the latest updates are installed all i get with any open gl game is a black screen anyone have any idea why is it cos i have a onboard video card ? i have the latest nvidia drivers installed from the system.
[05:23] <jnega> can anyone help me get a soundblaster live 5.1 sound card working in 7.10??
[05:23] <bazhang> yummymummy: what games?
[05:24] <anon> because i think the probability that the file is the different even though the md5 sums match will increases with file size
[05:24] <yummymummy> glpool
[05:24] <yummymummy> is one
[05:24] <anon> true?^^^
[05:24] <Xulthus> woot
[05:24] <Xulthus> who likes my name
[05:24] <cwillu> anon, not really
[05:24] <yummymummy> emilia pinball is another
[05:24] <anon> increase*
[05:24] <linkslice> i read a while back abot some battery/hard drive power saving thing but can't seem to find that article, anyone know what i'm tlaking about? i think it was an apm thing
[05:24] <bazhang> yummymummy: installed how and from where? using wine or not?
[05:24] <yummymummy> i cant get any open gl things to work
[05:24] <linkslice> i'm trying to scale back power use when unplugged
[05:25] <cwillu> a particular file that's 100mb isn't more likely to match a particular sha1sum hash than one that's 1kb
[05:25] <supersako> whats a PPA? i need to add deb  http
[05:25] <cwillu> anon,
[05:25] <alex_> can anyone give a hand with what i think is a codec issue, when i try and view a youtube broadcast my browser freezes?
[05:25] <cwillu> anon, but there are simply more possible files at a larger size
[05:25] <yummymummy> nah all applications add/remove
[05:25] <jnega> can anyone help me get a soundblaster live 5.1 sound card working in 7.10??
[05:25] <yummymummy> all open free source stuff bazhang
[05:26] <bazhang> yummymummy: try running from a terminal and paste the resulting errors to pastebin (not here in the channell)
[05:26] <yummymummy> ok how do i do that
[05:26] <bazhang> !paste | yummymummy
[05:26] <ubotu> yummymummy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:26] <yummymummy> i only know windows based systems and i only really know mouse
[05:27] <bazhang> rencore you still around?
[05:27] <yummymummy> bazhang:  i meant how do i run the game from terminal ?
[05:28] <bazhang> yummymummy: type the name
[05:28] <yummymummy> ahh ok
[05:28] <yummymummy> wow simple lol
[05:30] <supersako> how do i add a PPA?
[05:31] <yummymummy> bazhang:  nothing no error just ran a black screen with the name in the title box
[05:31] <Byron> i think i've messed up the permissions on my secondary hd, so now i cant share it over a network or change the permissions :/ can someone help me out?
[05:31] <corinth> Where is the font folder on Ubuntu? I have a font I want to add.
[05:32] <yummymummy> !font | corinth
[05:32] <ubotu> corinth: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[05:32] <bazhang> yummymummy: what card? ati?
[05:32] <cwillu> corinth, system | appearance | fonts | advanced | go to font folder
[05:32] <bardun> firefox crashes so much, especially when i'm watching youtube videos and such, or rather, trying to close a page with a youtube video, especially when it's still playing
[05:32] <yummymummy> nvidia onboard shared memory
[05:32] <bardun> is that a flash thing or java or something?
[05:32] <kebinusan> anyone know how to get java webstart links to load in ubuntu 64
[05:32] <frille> In utorrent, on wine, I'm trying to activate something and the Checking... X% thing stops at 59.2 percent, then gives me an error in the Status column "Error: Too many open files". Is this a limitation of Wine? I hope not!
[05:32] <Shi-Lang> [Err 5] Input/Output error, using a dvd at slowest possible burn speed
[05:32] <bazhang> yummymummy: which nvidia?
[05:32] <corinth> cwillu, Thanks dude.
[05:33] <cwillu> corinth, I think there's a shorter path, but ya
[05:33] <Shi-Lang> ubuntu gui installation
[05:33] <rencore_> cwillu, i fixed it
[05:33] <cwillu> rencore_, what was it?
[05:33] <Shi-Lang> failed at 29%
[05:33] <yummymummy> you can also find fonts in user/share/fonts
[05:33] <cwillu> yummymummy, /usr/ :p
[05:34] <queuetue> My net install seemed to go fine, until it got to 97% before the reboot - "Installing extra packages and installing eject"...  Been sitting there for 10 minutes now.
[05:34] <Shi-Lang> [Err 5] Input/Output error, using a dvd at slowest possible burn speed
[05:34] <yummymummy> bazhang:  its a onboard shared memory nvidia card part of the motherboard
[05:34] <yummymummy> oops still new to ubuntu lol
[05:34] <cwillu> bazhang, sure it's not an intel?
[05:34] <PurpZeY> cwillu: I had to run out for a second, but i am trying to get the fileshare working....I installed ssh server and ssh client, but when I type the IP into the host box I don't get anything
[05:34] <Shi-Lang> [Err 5] Input/Output error, using a dvd at slowest possible burn speed
[05:34] <rencore_> cwillu, i had to open up gconf and navigate to to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options , and then remove the "usefree" option from the list
[05:34] <cwillu> PurpZeY, ssh://ip
[05:35] <cwillu> PurpZeY, or ssh://hostname.local
[05:35] <bazhang> cwillu: not my card :} ask yummymummy
[05:35] <Byron> i think i've messed up the permissions on my secondary hd, so now i cant share it over a network or change the permissions :/ can someone help me out?
[05:35] <cwillu> yummymummy, sure it's not an intel?
[05:35] <cwillu> yummymummy, i.e., intel integrated video on an nvidia nforce chipset?
[05:35] <yummymummy> lol no im sure its a nvidia its a asus motherboard that hubby said was proud it was nvidia
[05:35] <PurpZeY> cwillu: enter that into where?
[05:35] <yummymummy> had nvidia everything int he board
[05:36] <cwillu> PurpZeY, nautilus (hit the button beside the buttons where the address bar should go, or just hit /)
[05:36] <cwillu> yummymummy, in a terminal, type lspci|grep -i vga
[05:36] <Shi-Lang> I hve just recieved an "[Err 5] Input/Output error", using a dvd at slowest possible burn speed, what is causng the problem?
[05:37] <Shi-Lang> I have tried different cd's and dvd's, this is a brand new hard drive
[05:37] <Shi-Lang> 3 different cd rom/dvd drives
[05:37] <neeto> I want a set of programs to run at startup... how do I make this happen?
[05:37] <Shi-Lang> What do I do now?
[05:37] <PurpZeY> cwillu: Wow. This will work perfectly, why was NFS suggested when things could be done so simply?
[05:37] <cwillu> io error was during write or boot?
[05:37] <d31> neeto, System - >
[05:37] <d31> System -> Preferences -> Sessions - neeto
[05:37] <cwillu> PurpZeY, unfortunately, not every app uses the gnome libs
[05:37] <yummymummy> bazhang:  ASUS A7N8X-VM/400 is the motherboard
[05:37] <Jeriath> smbmount //Jeriath/F -o password
[05:37] <Shi-Lang> io error during Ubuntu installation
[05:37] <neeto> d31: Thanks
[05:37] <cwillu> PurpZeY, which is why I mentioned samba before :p
[05:38] <Jeriath> ...
[05:38] <Jeriath> whoops
[05:38] <PurpZeY> cwillu: But, if I have nautilis...I can drag drop the files no?
[05:38] <cwillu> Shi-Lang, did you check the sha1sum of the image you downloaded?
[05:38] <cwillu> PurpZeY, yes
[05:38] <Shi-Lang> yes
[05:38] <cwillu> PurpZeY, my favourite ;p
[05:38] <Shi-Lang> and it was perfect
[05:38] <yummymummy> it says it has AGP 8X standard and integrated GeForce4 MX graphics on the onboard bazhang
[05:38] <cwillu> yummymummy, and you're running the restricted drivers?
[05:38] <PurpZeY> cwillu: Got it. I just wanted to be able to play my music elsewhere. can ssh do print shares?
[05:38] <neeto> d31: not exactly what I meant, I want to run a series of commands at startup. How can I do this?
[05:38] <yummymummy> yes
[05:39] <cwillu> PurpZeY, no;  have to use cups for that, but cups is fairly easy to work with
[05:39] <yummymummy> yes cwillu i am
[05:39] <bazhang> yummymummy: that may be a driver problem; alternately the card cant handle the effects
[05:39] <PurpZeY> neeto: You could write a script and add it to sessions
[05:39] <cwillu> PurpZeY, just enable printer sharing, and viewing network printers, and it'll magically work a few minutes later
[05:39] <neeto> PurpZeY: where is sessions located?
[05:39] <cwillu> yummymummy, via the manager, or via nvidia's package?
[05:39] <PurpZeY> cwillu: Hmmm...Sometimes I am surprised at the simplicity.
[05:39] <cwillu> PurpZeY, ???
[05:39] <PurpZeY> neeto: System --> Admin
[05:39] <dox> whats the best icq client for linux? pidgin? gaim? kopete?
[05:39] <cwillu> PurpZeY, this is Ubuntu, man!
