[02:52] <mrpurple> i'm looking to install the second monitor here
[02:52] <d34l3r> disappeared
[02:52] <d34l3r> and now is appearing again
[02:52] <wolfgang_> open firefox enter the url: about:config
[02:52] <d34l3r> @ frogzoo
[02:52] <Yodude> ( btw i made a new year's reolution about installing linux)
[02:52] <b0o> the eventual goal behind the reboot is to get x11vnc installed and booted in to xubuntu
[02:52] <wolfgang_> filter for: print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command
[02:53] <b0o> so I can VNC from where i'm at
[02:53] <wolfgang_> and change the value to: lp ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P"$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME"}
[02:53] <wolfgang_> cu
[02:53] <IdleOne> b0o: only way would be to either get the cd out ( call someone and have them remove the cd and reboot the machine for you ) hmmm thats the only way because you cant ssh in to get to bios so ...
[02:53] <d34l3r> still there, frogzoo
[02:53] <d34l3r> ?
[02:53] <vlt> What's the command to show which files belong to a package?
[02:53] <Keneo> I kinda screw my system by chmoding 777 /*/* , now I want to put back a backup, but sudo isn't working (cause permissions in /etc/sudoers are wrong) and I cant become root: setgid: Operation not permitted
[02:53] <Keneo> what to do now?
[02:53] <frogzoo> d34l3r: yeah, google might turn up something
[02:54] <d34l3r> ^^
[02:54] <Jowi> vlt, dpkg -S filename
[02:54] <frogzoo> vlt: dpkg -L pkg
[02:54] <b0o> IdleOne: yeah, I know >:| I was trying to think of another way, but I'm coming up short
[02:54] <vlt> Keneo: Boot from CD
[02:54] <d34l3r> kk going to google a round @ frogzoo
[02:54] <IdleOne> b0o: i DONT THINK THERE IS ANY OTHER WAY
[02:54] <Jowi> vlt, ah, misread your question
[02:54] <vlt> Jowi, frogzoo: thx
[02:54] <IdleOne> sorry bout caps
[02:54] <Keneo> vlt, I guess I will have to do that, prob is it's a remote machine, no other way's?
[02:54] <Keneo> else I will get my ass up there
[02:54] <johnn> b0o maybe eject is enough.. depends if the drive closes while booting up ;)
[02:55] <b0o> IdleOne: you're probably right...I was just hoping it was early and I missed something obvious ;)
[02:55] <Yodude> idleone: i have two questions, the first is can the windows swap partition be used by linux? secondwill changing the D partition always erase all the files on that partition?
[02:55] <b0o> johnn: I thought about that, but that'll be a last resort, since if it doesn't work I'm stuck
[02:55] <b0o> too bad it's not a slot loading cdrom
[02:56] <vlt> Keneo: No idea.
[02:56] <Keneo> thx anyway
[02:56] <Keneo> I'l get up there
[02:56] <IdleOne> Yodude: I have no idea to either question
[02:57] <Keneo> I have an alt install cd from 6.10 here, will that get me into a root terminal?
[02:57] <Yodude> lol i'll ask frogzoo
[02:57] <Yodude> Frogzoo: i have two questions, the first is can the windows swap partition be used by linux? secondwill changing the D partition always erase all the files on that partition?
[02:57] <IdleOne> Keneo: you can use sudo
[02:57] <b0o> Well thanks anyway folks..I'm going to go scratch my head a bit more about this..
[02:58] <Keneo> IdleOne, I broke it with chmodding 777 /*/*
[02:58] <frogzoo> Yodude: winswap != linswap & you can resize D with gparted but if it's ntfs, you could trash the data
[02:58] <Yodude> it's FAT32
[02:59] <Yodude> i guess my D: data is safe then?
[02:59] <SentineLxx> Can anyone tell me how to uninstall the awful MESA drivers for ATI please?
[02:59] <Yodude> (i'll back up important stuff anyways)
[02:59] <moforila> I trying to install ubuntu on an old ibm machine, it gets to the loading essential drivers....ok then lags
[02:59] <IdleOne> Yodude: I cant say this enough BACKUP!!!!! always best :)
[02:59] <__james> what's the command in terminal to know the freespace disk?
[02:59] <Jowi> moforila, what are the specs and which cd are you using?
[02:59] <Yodude> yes i thought so too IdleOne
[02:59] <IdleOne> __james: free
[02:59] <moforila> and prints these errors after a few minutes buffer 1/0 error on device hdc
[03:00] <Yodude> another question:
[03:00] <Jowi> moforila, hdc is most likely your cd/dvdrom. verify that the cd got burned correctly.
[03:00] <__james> idaho45: i mean the drive space
[03:00] <moforila> I did a nero checkm seemed fine
[03:01] <Yodude> i live in Lebanon and technicians don't know how to work with linux here, i heard that GRUB will replace the windows bootloader when i install ubuntu
[03:01] <moforila> Jowi, any other ways to check ?
[03:01] <IdleOne> Yodude: it will
[03:01] <variant> Yodude: yup, but grub will allow you to boot windows
[03:01] <IdleOne> !dualboot > Yodude
[03:01] <Jowi> moforila, never used nero
[03:01] <Yodude> yes i know
[03:01] <IdleOne> Yodude: check msg from ubotu
[03:01] <Yodude> but will technicians be able to reformat?
[03:01] <__james> what's the command in terminal to know the free drive space of your hardisk
[03:02] <Yodude> i mean they prolly won't recognize "GRUB"
[03:02] <moforila> Jowi, any checlsums or somthing for the cd that i can do?
[03:02] <Yodude> and if they reformat that crappy windows block linux will i have to reinstall it everytime i format windows?
[03:02] <variant> Yodude: what do you mean?
[03:02] <moforila> thanks any way
[03:02] <moforila> im off to sleep
[03:02] <Desmaano> Hello people
[03:03] <IdleOne> Yodude: if you format the drive then it will wipe the entire drive and you will need to reinstall
[03:03] <variant> Yodude: if you format with windows it might format the linux parititon and will allmost certainly over write grub. you will be better to format the windows partiiton from ubuntu
[03:03] <Desmaano> I got a question but the answer isn't clear for me
[03:04] <variant> Desmaano: whats the question??
[03:04] <IdleOne> ask
[03:04] <kling0n> __james: 'df'
[03:04] <Desmaano> I would like to try Ubuntu without making a partition or so, so like from CD or from an simple installation
[03:04] <Yodude> but i don't know how to reinstall windows
[03:04] <IdleOne> Desmaano: download the LIve CD you can try ubuntu without installing it to your HD
[03:04] <jrib> Desmaano: use the "desktop cd".  It is also a "live cd" which means it will run straight from the cd without touching your hard drive
[03:05] <variant> Desmaano: the ubuntu install cd boots directly into a "live" environment, the same as if it was installed to disk. the live CD will NOT damage your windows installtion unless you choose to do that
[03:05] <Yodude> i guess i'll reinstall linux evrytime i reinstall indows
[03:05] <Yodude> windows*
[03:05] <Desmaano> ok 3 time thanks :)
[03:05] <IdleOne> yw
[03:05] <variant> Yodude: if it's xp you can choose which partiiton to install to, it wont toucht he linux partitions but will over write grub
[03:05] <xf> When setting up a firewall...I want to deny everything and only allow certain things.  Does my -A INPUT -i eth0 -j DROP have to come last?
[03:05] <Desmaano> so just mount or burn the cd and start it
[03:05] <xf> using iptables
[03:05] <variant> Yodude: install grub toa floppy or annother drive and that problem wont surface
[03:06] <IdleOne> Desmaano: burn the .iso put it in the pc and reboot
[03:06] <variant> xf: put the rule denying all first
[03:06] <IdleOne> Desmaano: then feel the Ubuntu love
[03:07] <xf> Thanks variant
[03:07] <Desmaano> okay :P
[03:07] <Yodude> isn't there a way to add ubuntu to the windows bootloader list without reinstalling ubuntu ( i mean after a fresh reformat of the C: partition)
[03:07] <xf> also...if I leave out the interface in an iptable rule, does it apply to all of the interfaces?
[03:07] <IdleOne> Yodude: windows bootloader doesnt like to handle anything but windows
[03:08] <Desmaano> by the way, not ubuntu specific question, is it 'handy' to use a linux file server in a windows (nt) environment?
[03:08] <Desmaano> and which Distro would be recommended for a Newbie on linux like me ?
[03:09] <IdleOne> Desmaano: Ubuntu!
[03:09] <marshcast> quick question (sorry - a bit pushed to search ) could somebody tell me the app to configure xorg/graphics for X?
[03:09] <Desmaano> cool :)
[03:09] <_rd_> Desmaano: well, it wont get worms,,,
[03:09] <IdleOne> if you have any issues with it then you come back here and ask for help
[03:09] <Lapfunc> hi.  i want users to be managed on a server, not my local machine.  i think it's called domain control on windows.  what is the name for this setup in linux?
[03:09] <Cryoniq> Hmm.. I was just thinking that it seems transfers are going a tad slow via network to internet and back and noticed that under netstat it says on one service that it is using UDP6.. is that meaning that I am using TCP/IP etc version 6 instead of 4?
[03:09] <IdleOne> marshcast: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:10] <Desmaano> damn, downloading LiveCd at 500 KB/sec, just takes so long
[03:10] <Cryoniq> I should get like at least 4 mbps on this 100 mbps full duplex connection but so far I only seen like.. 30kbps in download and 200 kbps upload...
[03:10] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Desmaano
[03:10] <ubotu> Desmaano: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:10] <Desmaano> okay sorry :S
[03:11] <variant> Cryoniq: you on a data center or what?
[03:11] <marshcast> Thanks IdleOne - you'z guys are so handy - it's rediculous!
[03:11] <marshcast> ;)
[03:11] <IdleOne> Desmaano: there are children as young as 10 yrs in this channel and adults who just dont like to see any cursing at all so we keep are typing clean to keep everybody happy :)
[03:11] <zoli2k> How can I replace the Gnome open file dialog to the KDE open file dialog in firefox?
[03:11] <Desmaano> ok i understand boss :P
[03:12] <Cryoniq> he he nope.. it is the ISP fiber network here in sweden :)
[03:12] <IdleOne> marshcast: np had to ask earlier for the same answer :)
[03:12] <marshcast> Hehehe....
[03:12] <mojo> hello
[03:13] <Desmaano> IdleOne: do i need additional tools to let Windows communicate with a Ubuntu File-server?
[03:13] <Lapfunc> if someone can tell me what the setup i need is called, i can google it
[03:13] <Lapfunc> but i'm a bit lost on google at the moment
[03:13] <mojo> anyone know what happened to the advanced options in the screen saver?  i have not used it since dapper and now it is missing features (i use edgy now)
[03:13] <IdleOne> !samba | Desmaano
[03:13] <ubotu> Desmaano: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:13] <_rd_> samba
[03:13] <Lapfunc> i want all user settings and files on a server machine
[03:13] <Lapfunc> all machines are ubuntu
[03:13] <variant> Cryoniq: nice, if your on the student network it is shared..
[03:13] <variant> Cryoniq: what city?
[03:14] <Desmaano> so what is Samba? an OS or an application?
[03:14] <johnn> is there a repository with latest mplayer deb's for edgy?
[03:14] <_nano_> Hi, is there a way to have only single instance of mplayer running? Opening a second file with mplayer loads another instance.
[03:14] <hydroxC> Desmaano, It's a protocol, like FTP is
[03:14] <Cryoniq> A city near Stockholm. No this is a common ISP service :)
[03:14] <variant> Cryoniq: breadbandsbolaget i presume
[03:14] <Desmaano> okay a file-sharing protocol if i get it right?
[03:14] <Cryoniq> Labs2 :)
[03:14] <IdleOne> Desmaano: yup
[03:14] <hydroxC> Desmaano, Yah, it does printer sharing, too
[03:14] <variant> Desmaano: like windows shares
[03:15] <variant> Cryoniq: which city? uppsala?
[03:15] <__james> i need help. how come my vlc doesn't have audio?
[03:15] <Cryoniq> But yeah.. they are pretty much the same :)
[03:15] <Cryoniq> Vasteras
[03:15] <Desmaano> Very good, thanks for all the answers :)
[03:15] <variant> Cryoniq: hah, I am flying into Vsters in a month..
[03:15] <Cryoniq> =P
[03:16] <variant> Cryoniq: anyway, is it a contended service?
[03:16] <shifty> hi all
[03:16] <mojo> samba implements the SMB (server message block) protocol that Windows uses for file sharing.  To share files, you run a background program (daemon) that makes the service available for other machines to attach to
[03:16] <Yodude> isn't there a way to add ubuntu to the windows bootloader list without reinstalling ubuntu ( i mean after a fresh reformat of the C: partition)
[03:16] <DeeTahPanLtah> guys i have ran autoinstaller for my sound drivers to get microphone support, but unfortunately it failed...
[03:16] <variant> Cryoniq: remember that the download and upload speed depends as much on your connection as it does the connection of the server your downloading/uploading to
[03:16] <Desmaano> mojo: talking about windows OS right with daemon?
[03:16] <zoli2k> Is there a lightweight X manager for ubunu with icons and ubuntu menu?
[03:16] <DeeTahPanLtah> it deleted me an old device for soundcard,how to revert it?
[03:17] <variant> Yodude: yes there is
[03:17] <variant> Yodude: ask in #windows
[03:17] <Yodude> k
[03:17] <zoli2k> !xmanager
[03:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xmanager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:17] <Cryoniq> variant that is true.. but in this case it is a torrent with lots of seeders and leechers ;)
[03:17] <zoli2k> !enlightement
[03:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enlightement - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:17] <mojo> Desmaano: no, when you install samba on a linux system, so that you can share folders with windows users on your network as if you were a windows machine, you are installing a daemon on linux
[03:18] <zoli2k> !windowmanager
[03:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about windowmanager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:18] <_rd_> zoli2k: ice, enlightenment. fsce
[03:18] <Cryoniq> I never ever experienced speeds below 1 mbps before. Only since I installed ubuntu recently and in it. But.. I have to check my router and switch before stating that is the real problem
[03:18] <mojo> maybe i should butt out... it was a a-b conversation and ususally its better to c your way out... but i always try to answer questions when i come here to ask.
[03:19] <mojo> um, i mean i was the "c" party ;)
[03:19] <LjL> zoli2k, message the bot in private as i suggested please. you're muted for 2 minutes
[03:19] <Cryoniq> Variant however under Devices - Network tools > IP information for Eth0 it says Link under IP6 scope section hmm..
[03:20] <vlt> How to switch from -k7 to amd64 kernel? I can't find images in apt.
[03:21] <mojo> zoli2k: what about xfce?  there is the Xubuntu variant project.  It uses GTK libraries (like GNOME) but is much lighter weight
[03:21] <mrpurple> how can i use my second screen ? i have a nvidia 6600gt
[03:22] <xf> also...if I leave out the interface in an iptable rule, does it apply to all of the interfaces?
[03:22] <mojo> mrpurple: google "ubuntu nvidia dual head" ... other terms to try are xinerama
[03:22] <richard> Howdy folks
[03:23] <mypapitfx> howdy richard
[03:23] <_nano_> is there a way to make mplayer load only single instance?
[03:23] <richard> Small problem. Mounted media no longer shows up on the desktop for some reason..
[03:23] <Cadmi> hi
[03:23] <genii> I'm waiting for ubuntu port of xfce 4.4   there is an entirely new desktop management system and things like desktop links aren't such a pita anymore
[03:23] <mojo> mrpurple: xinerama is for a desktop that will span the two screens.  it is possible also to set them up as separate displays..  you can mouse between them but they are independt (can't move windows between).  or you can set up one display to "clone" the other
[03:23] <raar> hello, how can I convince rpm that I have sh on my system? ("rpm -i sqldeveloper-<IP_ADDRESS>-1.noarch.rpm" gives me: "error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by sqldeveloper-<IP_ADDRESS>-1.noarch" :-(
[03:23] <richard> When I put in a cd, it mounts but no icon shows up on the desktop
[03:23] <richard> Same when I insert an SD card
[03:24] <mojo> !xinerama
[03:24] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[03:24] <stdin> raar: kubuntu uses deb, not rpm
[03:24] <genii> stdin Since it's a "noarch" rpm should be ok
[03:25] <raar> so every rpm package I get I have to port into a deb package?
[03:25] <goodgerster> good afternoon, life forms
[03:25] <beniamino> how do i make the default gnome-terminal font ('monospace') available to emacs?
[03:25] <r34l> hello
[03:25] <stdin> raar: just use alien
[03:25] <vlt> !alien
[03:25] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[03:26] <mooky> beniamino  I think ou need gnome-emacs
[03:26] <genii> Try to find the things you wish to install in deb format forst. only use foreign package systems if you can get that thing no other way
[03:26] <raar> ah okay, thanks guys :)

[03:27] <mooky> beniamino yes, probably
[03:27] <r_rehashed> are intel graphics drivers available from the official repositories, since they are Open Source?
[03:28] <goodgerster> mooky: that's my metaphor for asking whether anyone need help
[03:28] <mooky> r_rehashed intel graphics drivers are part of X
[03:28] <beniamino> mooky: it's emacs not xemacs that i want
[03:28] <mojo> msg ubotu !ubotu
[03:28] <mooky> goodgerster off the top of your head is the a dpkg option to configure a printer in cups
[03:28] <mooky> beniamino ahhh right, I didn't differentiate
[03:29] <Desmaano> one more question, can Ubuntu (with samba) make Network drives like you find in a Bussines-environment?
[03:29] <mooky> Desmaano  in a business environment ?
[03:29] <goodgerster> mooky: no, dpkg is concerned only with software installation and configuration, not with printing. GNOME's GUI for cups does printing
[03:29] <goodgerster> Desmaano: yes, it can
[03:29] <r34l> I would like to customize grub splashimage, I've edited menu.lst but I got an error about splashimage not found

[03:29] <sholden> Hi, I'm about to install beryl and nvidia on ubuntu with a GeForce3 card.  I know that I wont be able to use pixel shaders with GeForce3, but I want to make sure that there is nothing special I have to do when installing the driver.  Should I just be able to use the automated script on the wiki?
[03:29] <pike_> hmm
[03:29] <r_rehashed> mooky: so my card - a 946GZ - has it's drivers already installed?
[03:29] <Desmaano> Like you find on work, allways caled like X: Y: Z: and so :)
[03:30] <goodgerster> sholden: auto scripts are not good. do it manually - and no, you're OK with the default driver unless your card is very ancient
[03:30] <mooky> goodgerster I should have said dpkg-reconfigure
[03:30] <goodgerster> mooky: as I said, dpkg is not concerned with printing
[03:30] <genii> Desmaano That part of things is normally done on the client side. On the server (samba) side they are all just network shares.
[03:30] <sholden> it's ancient as hell goodgerster.... geforce 3
[03:30] <mooky> goodgerster I thought id was concerned with "packages"
[03:30] <mooky> s/id/it
[03:30] <_nano_> is there a way to force vlc to always load a single instance?
[03:31] <r_rehashed> mooky: I want to install the drivers to be able to run beryl/compiz
[03:31] <r34l> sholden
[03:31] <goodgerster> dpkg-reconfigure will reinstall a set of default config files, or else ask you some questions about your nerwork
[03:31] <mooky> r_rehashed should bt part of X already
[03:31] <goodgerster> sholden: I will look on the list
[03:31] <r34l> I Installed too
[03:31] <Desmaano> ok genii, let me do some more research then, thanks for support guys :) One Ubuntu-er more on the world :)
[03:31] <mojo> question - how do i suppress the joined / left messages so i can follow the text here better
[03:31] <mooky> goodgerster not just network, I've used it to configure apps like X
[03:31] <jrib> mojo: what client?
[03:31] <mooky> hence why I was curious to a printer configurtion tool without a client
[03:31] <mojo> jrib: xchat
[03:31] <mooky> without a gui
[03:31] <Lunar_Lamp> mojo, it depends on what irc client you are using.
[03:31] <genii> Desmaano: A good place to start is with the "man smb.conf" document, very informative
[03:32] <mojo> Lunar_Lamp: xchat
[03:32] <lts> got problem with ati and ubuntu. how-to won't help too much. I got the newest drivers from ATI, the driver loads and works fine... but there is no acceleration.
[03:32] <Lunar_Lamp> mojo, right click on the channel name, and there is an option to untick "join part"
[03:32] <goodgerster> mooky: for the last time dpkg-reconfigure will not let you install a printer. use the damned GNOME GUI
[03:32] <lts> It works fine on slackware, fedora, and zenwalk
[03:32] <mooky> goodgerster I don't have a gui installed
[03:32] <goodgerster> sholden: the card is supported
[03:32] <Lunar_Lamp> (right click on channel name>#ubuntu>show join/part)
[03:32] <mooky> goodgerster no need for tha attitude also
[03:32] <goodgerster> mooky: then refer to CUPS config documentation
[03:32] <r34l> Sholden I added "UseinternalAGPGart" "no" in xorg conf, because I got some problems with the same card
[03:32] <mrpurple> tmojo : thanks ... i'm reading
[03:32] <mojo> Lunar_Lamp: THANKS!  Didn't think to click on the channel tab.  Been menusufing my brain out
[03:33] <r34l> And now It works
[03:33] <lts> the card is x200 with shared mem., the other is x200 with assigned memory

[03:33] <mooky> goodgerster thats exactly the plan, I was curious to if there was a tool within ubuntu such as dpkg-reconfigure
[03:33] <goodgerster> sholden: you will need to use an older version of the driver. nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r3 is the one
[03:33] <Yodude> hey can i install GRUB from the ubuntu LiveCd without installing the whole linux?
[03:33] <goodgerster> mooky: no, you asked whether dpkg-reconfigure will do it. you need to edit a config file, I suspect. GIYF
[03:34] <Yodude> (in case i need to recover linux after a windows reinstallation)
[03:34] <mooky> Yodude yup, type gub at the root promtp and walk though it
[03:34] <genii> Yodude Yesy
[03:34] <goodgerster> Yodude: yes, google "ubuntu livecd reinstall grub"
[03:34] <xf> Here is my iptables script...http://www.nullsense.com/iptables.txt   ... Why can I not ssh to that box now? :)
[03:34] <mooky> goodgerster GIYF ?
[03:34] <pike_> !grub | Yodude
[03:34] <ubotu> Yodude: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:34] <goodgerster> mooky: google is your friend
[03:34] <pike_> Yodude: pretty easy
[03:34] <r_rehashed> which is better, compiz or beryl?
[03:34] <goodgerster> r_rehashed: beryl
[03:34] <mooky> goodgerster ahhh, I've got no problem editing the files by hand, more a case of ubuntu has tools for most things, I wonder if there is one for this
[03:34] <mooky> r_rehashed personal preference
[03:34] <Yodude> thanks God linux is Free!
[03:34] <mojo> lts: my acceleration is gone too... but can't say if it was with the upgrade or when i reconfigured for dual-head (xinerama).  fussed with it for a while but gave up
[03:35] <goodgerster> mooky: yes, it's a GUI
[03:35] <mooky> goodgerster not on the server install
[03:35] <Yodude> windows is such a pain in the *** why can';t it jus tplay nice!
[03:35] <mooky> goodgerster I've seen the gui tool
[03:35] <lts> mojo, I don't use xinerama.
[03:35] <sholden> OK
[03:35] <goodgerster> mooky: by not using a GUI, you agree to configure things by yourself
[03:35] <mooky> goodgerster yes, exactly, I've got no problem with that, I was just curious to if there was a tool
[03:35] <mojo> lts: oh.  just blah blahing about my config... never figured out if that was a variable for me or not
[03:35] <r_rehashed> ok. which should be the 1st try? ;)
[03:36] <goodgerster> mooky: you can still install gnome, and there's webmin for configuring most server things from another server
[03:36] <mooky> r_rehashed beryl is ubuntu supported
[03:36] <r_rehashed> oh cool
[03:36] <vlt> Hello (again). How to switch from -k7 to amd64 kernel? I can't find images in apt.
[03:36] <sholden> ok thanks....
[03:36] <lts> mojo, is there any alternative debs for xorg. I'll try to compile my own
[03:36] <mooky> goodgerster no chance am I using webmin - more so not for a printer, I don't need tools like that. I'm fine with out X, more a case of not knowing if there was a tool
[03:36] <genii> Yodude http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html
[03:36] <lts> if there is non
[03:36] <pike_> vlt: complete reinstall
[03:36] <mooky> vlt are you running a 64bit OS ?
[03:36] <vlt> mooky: I'm on 2.6.15-27-k7 now.
[03:37] <mooky> vlt ok - so you need to do a complete re-install
[03:37] <goodgerster> vlt: there is no amd64 kernel in the x86 version of ubuntu. you're better off with the generic kernel if you're on an ia64 system
[03:37] <vlt> omfg
[03:37] <mooky> vlt watch the langauge
[03:37] <lts> vlt, k7 works with k8
[03:37] <mooky> I don't need to see that
[03:37] <r_rehashed> I installed ia-32libs today to try and install wine
[03:37] <mojo> lts: not sure
[03:37] <goodgerster> mooky: shut up about language
[03:37] <r_rehashed> everything seemed fine with the installation
[03:37] <mooky> goodgerster its the first time I've said it
[03:37] <mooky> and I no - I won't, I don't need to see it
[03:38] <goodgerster> mooky: don't look then
[03:38] <goodgerster> r_rehashed: what's the eventual trouble?
[03:38] <mojo> lts: i am now using the ones in the ubuntu repository.  tried the d/l from ati w/o luck so i went back, still no joy on 3d accell...
[03:38] <mooky> goodgerster how about respect the channels rules and don't use it
[03:38] <xf> Here is my iptables script...http://www.nullsense.com/iptables.txt   ... Why can I not ssh to that box now? :)
[03:38] <genii> vlt There is a way to change the default architecture that apt uses, but it's a pain to mess about that way. Better to just get an amd64 specific iso and install from that
[03:38] <r_rehashed> however, whenever I try to run a program, I am suddenly logged-off and the splash screen appears
[03:38] <bezibaerchen> anyone using network-manager for openvpn connections?
[03:39] <bauer77> oh lord someone is getting mad at an acronym?
[03:39] <r_rehashed> any clues as to what's wrong?
[03:39] <pike_> vlt: there are still issues running 64. no reason not to free up a partition and try it but id hold off on deleting the current install unless youre sure
[03:39] <mooky> bauer77 not really, I just know what it means and I don't need to see it
[03:39] <goodgerster> vlt: IMO you should stick with the x86 version in any case... essentially, the amd64 edition is "rather rubbish" to avoid being smashed over the head by a certain oversensitive person
[03:39] <Yodude> is the Super GRUB Disk the best solution?
[03:39] <vlt> genii: Can I put the system to (nearly) the same state it has now? Something like "apt-... --get-selections"?
[03:39] <mooky> goodgerster not oversensitive, you just made a fair comment
[03:39] <r_rehashed> I am using wine 0.9.29
[03:40] <mooky> r_rehashed you'd get better detailed support from the #wine channel
[03:40] <sunshine> hi do anyone if the command chmod+ax is here correct writted?
[03:40] <bauer77> no offense but I think that is kind of anal, I could see if he actually spelled it out
[03:40] <r_rehashed> oh ok
[03:40] <vlt> goodgerster:, pike_: -k7 will run on  AMD64 hardware?
[03:40] <r34l> How can I find where is located my grub (hd,partition), I've to configure grub splashimage (hd?, ?) Tnx
[03:40] <mooky> bauer77 every-one knows what its means, its just uncalled for
[03:40] <goodgerster> vlt: I use the generic one, but I see no reason why not
[03:40] <goodgerster> sunshine: you need a space between d and +
[03:41] <stdin> vlt: you mean "dpkg --get-selections" ?
[03:41] <LjL> mooky, bauer77, goodgerster, etc: please stop this discussion please, or bring it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:41] <mooky> goodgerster in later versions only "generic" is available as I recall
[03:41] <genii> vlt If you are using an x86 install then change the architecture and install an amd64 kernel the other apps will likely have some strange issues. Better to just save some headaches and install new from a cd
[03:41] <bauer77> Im done
[03:41] <mooky> I'm happy - I just don't need to see uncalled for lanague
[03:41] <mooky> language
[03:41] <LjL> mooky, that's agreed
[03:41] <pike_> vlt: you can run k7 kernel just like you can i386 umm.. it depends what you want from system.  some things are going to actually be a little more ineffecient under 64bit but on the whole the speed increase is real.
[03:41] <goodgerster> mooky: k7 is available throughout. you are correct in that "i386" has been replaced with "generic"
[03:42] <mooky> goodgerster really, I thought edgy and feisty had dropped it
[03:42] <Wyvern_> Quick question: How do I restart the smbd daemon in the "best" manner?
[03:42] <mooky> Wyvern_ use the init script
[03:42] <goodgerster> mooky: hmm, methinks otherwise but will check
[03:42] <Wyvern_> syntax?
[03:42] <tonyyarusso> mooky, goodgerster: I also think k7 was obsoleted - make sure
[03:42] <mooky> goodgerster not saying your wrong - just from memory I thought it was gone
[03:42] <mooky> tonyyarusso agreed
[03:42] <goodgerster> mooky: I've got a k7 kernel here
[03:43] <mooky> goodgerster which version of ubuntu are you running ?
[03:43] <jim88> Hi all ... I need a little help with a printing situation
[03:43] <stdin> Wyvern_: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[03:43] <goodgerster> ah, but it says it was obsoleted. my mistake
[03:43] <Wyvern_> ah, thanks
[03:43] <mooky> goodgerster fine - just checking
[03:43] <genii_> I just ghosted
[03:43] <richard> When a program spawns a new window it always seems to load up behind the old window for some reason - This started to happen yesterday but I dont know why
[03:43] <xf> Could someone please take a look at my iptables? Here is my iptables script...http://www.nullsense.com/iptables.txt   ... Why can I not ssh to that box now? :)
[03:43] <vlt> goodgerster, mooky: It's an AMD64 X2. Will -k7-smp or -generic-smp support both cpu cores?
[03:43] <mooky> vlt yup on amd's
[03:43] <Jowi> richard, with which window manager?
[03:44] <stdin> vlt: the generic kernel is smp already
[03:44] <goodgerster> vlt: yes. but k7 is now obsoleted dependin upon your ubuntu version
[03:44] <goodgerster> hmm, can anyone help me with xchat scripting?
[03:44] <c3o> I need help with mysql, I can't get it to start..
[03:44] <genii> vlt Yes, the smp is default, if not needed it just unloads that part
[03:44] <jim88> Can anyone tell me how to setup a printer that is connected thru my router to a win98 machine ... I have tried several things but it doesn't seem to work ... I am trying to avoid a print server
[03:44] <Jowi> richard, I noticed that behaviour as well with Beryl. is that what you're using?
[03:44] <mooky> goodgerster a "little", if you want to chat in offtopic abou tit
[03:44] <richard> Jowi, yes :P
[03:45] <nikitis> I'm a newb at installing java via deb type installations.  Is there an updated walkthrough for the latest jre6?  the jre5 walkthrough is outdated and does not work any longer
[03:45] <c3o> It worked fine yesterday, but now it won't work at all :S
[03:45] <Jowi> richard, luckily for you, I found a solution not more than two minutes ago
[03:45] <goodgerster> jim88: afaik, linux doesn't support win9x's printing system. you'll likely need a print server, but don't quote me
[03:45] <richard> Jowi, is it the 3d plugin?
[03:45] <goodgerster> mooky: yes please..
[03:46] <mooky> goodgerster ok - see you in there
[03:46] <jim88> thanks goodgerster but please is there a workaround :)
[03:46] <Jowi> richard, go to the Beryl settings manager. in the "General Options" set "Level of Fucus stealing prevention" to "None"
[03:46] <richard> Ahhh...
[03:46] <richard> Jowi thanks for that :)
[03:46] <Jowi> np richard. it was driving me mad as well
[03:46] <xf> also, how can I enable logging with iptables?  I added kern.warning to my syslogd.conf, but wasn't sure what else to do?  I know i have to enable some module with iptables
[03:47] <genii> jim88 http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-10.html
[03:47] <Yodude> hey can anyone answer this question: will changing the D partition always erase all the files on that partition?
[03:47] <Yodude> it's FAT32
[03:47] <goodgerster> Yodude: the D partition?!
[03:47] <stdin> Yodude: if you are just resizing it, then no

[03:52] <genii> dreamer http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php
[03:53] <mojo> goodgerster: where can i find more info on the xscreensaver in edgy...  i seem to remember in dapper (or maybe breezy) it had more options, like advanced config for the 'savers.
[03:53] <dreamer> genii: I thought mythtv was a very big package?
[03:53] <MuffY> my printer isnt' listed =(
[03:53] <dreamer> genii: can't like, vlc perhaps access the tv-card?
[03:53] <genii> dreamer It is the best application for what you need to do
[03:53] <MuffY> i have a Lexmark Z31, and his has support for the Z32 and Z33 xD
[03:53] <phanter> mojo: that is taken out of the xscreenssaver package.
[03:53] <goodgerster> mojo: regrettably, the ubuntu developers decided that gnome's useless screensaver thingie was more user-friendly than the xscreensaver system
[03:53] <eXistenZ> Hello, what usenet news readers do you guys recommend?
[03:53] <goodgerster> you can still install xscreensaver
[03:53] <Vandalay> use "tvtime" or "xDtv"
[03:53] <_JP> hmm, where can i read about package updating policies?
[03:53] <goodgerster> eXistenZ: I have used Thunderbird, but currently use Google Groups
[03:54] <c3o> Anyone?
[03:54] <dreamer> thnx Vandalay
[03:54] <Urthmover> morning all
[03:54] <Vandalay> np -)
[03:54] <mojo> how stupid... no way to configure options?  not to mention installing electricsheep gives me the command line but does not show up in the screensaver config
[03:54] <CheshireViking> eXistenZ: i use Pan, works quite well, quite similar to forte agent
[03:54] <MuffY> nm, i found something =)
[03:54] <DARKGuy> Is there a way I can create a file and use it as output for /dev/fd0 (the floppy drive)? I got a .exe file from www.allbootdisks.com and I need it to create a Win98 bootdisk, and since it searches for the floppy drive, I want to redirect the floppy drive to a file in my HD, is that possible?
[03:55] <eXistenZ> Okay, thank you so much
[03:55] <mojo> (stumbling on electricsheep made me want to run a screensaver again)
[03:55] <phanter> eXistenZ: whast news reader do you want? (i like to have all-in-one and took thunderbird)
[03:55] <IdleOne> _JP: try packages.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.org/packages maybe
[03:55] <eXistenZ> phanter, I might stick to google groups
[03:55] <IdleOne> _JP: not sure if either of those links will help but it's a starting point
[03:55] <_JP> just curious about Qt which has staid at version 4.2.0.. is it going to get updated in edgy? do I have to run an unstable version of ubuntu to get my hands on a recent version of Qt?
[03:55] <_JP> IdleOne: ok thanks
[03:55] <Yodude> hey can someone explain to me this recovery process?
[03:56] <Urthmover> what is the path to grub.conf?
[03:56] <Yodude> 1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop.
[03:56] <Yodude> 1. Pop in the Live CD, boot from it until you reach the desktop.
[03:56] <Yodude> 2. Open a terminal window or switch to a tty.
[03:56] <Yodude> 3. Type "grub"
[03:56] <phanter> how can I enable the network at boot time. I currently have to do ifup eth0 after a local login session (= not very usefull for a server)
[03:56] <Yodude> 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
[03:56] <variant> Urthmover: ubuntu doesn't have one.. it uses menu.lst instead
[03:56] <Yodude> 5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is.
[03:56] <goodgerster> _JP: qt 4 is recent. and no, it will not be updated in edgy
[03:56] <Yodude> 6. Quit grub by typing "quit".
[03:56] <Yodude> 7. Reboot.
[03:56] <mabus> how can you make your own kernel in ubuntu?
[03:56] <Urthmover> k thanks variant

[03:58] <mooky> Yodude then ask them instead of pasting 20 lines of text

[03:58] <HymnToLife> genii, nope lol didn't get the time
[03:58] <Yodude> lol ok mooky, it says " Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub)."
[03:59] <goodgerster> webben: it's quite hard to miss, really. I can't think how you've avoided it :)
[03:59] <Yodude> i didn't understand this step
[03:59] <nikitis> what's the command to tell if you installed Java correctly
[03:59] <webben> goodgerster, i was looking in cdimage
[03:59] <Yodude> i mean i go toi the terminal then type "root" then what?
[03:59] <mooky> Yodude what don't you understand ?
[03:59] <Urthmover> toor
[03:59] <mooky> Yodude thats not what your meant to do - go and re-read
[03:59] <Yodude> i type the name of the partition my /boot is on?
[04:00] <stdin> nikitis: java -version
[04:00] <mooky> no - go and re-read

[04:00] <IdleOne> agliv5: change it back
[04:01] <genii> agliv5: You changed the name on the client or in samba?
[04:01] <Yodude> ok what i understood is that i go the terminal, type "grub"
[04:01] <Yodude> then i type "root
[04:01] <Urthmover> defragging takes FOREVER......(since I don't often enough)
[04:02] <Yodude> but i didn't understand the rest i mean do i type in addition to "root" the location of my partition containing /boot?
[04:02] <Urthmover> I want the old school bit by bit graphics on like norton speeddisk......
[04:02] <c3o> My mysql server just won't run? Can anybody help me?
[04:03] <Urthmover> so what IRC client is small free and gives me a extremely minimal window in X?
[04:03] <Yodude> like for example"root (/dev/hda5)

[04:03] <Yodude> ???
[04:04] <IdleOne> Urthmover: irssi bitchx and prolly several more
[04:04] <Urthmover> goodgerster:  but this winxp system that I'm about to put linux on the back partition does
[04:04] <Urthmover> yeah bitchX.....I need to read the docs on it  thanks Idle
[04:04] <Lunar_Lamp> Urthmover, irssi is the "classic" command line irc client.
[04:04] <Urthmover> thanks Lunar
[04:04] <snail> goodgerster: you mean that the partition formats we normally use don't need defragging. use FAT32 on linux and it still needs defragging
[04:04] <eliphas_> #lp5 needs you now!!!!
[04:04] <goodgerster> Urthmover: you don't actually need to defrag before installing linux, in my experience
[04:05] <tim167> how do I print from the terminal?
[04:05] <Yodude> mooku: like for example"root (/dev/hda5)??
[04:05] <Yodude> mooky:like for example"root (/dev/hda5)?
[04:05] <goodgerster> snail: meh
[04:05] <Urthmover> well logically it seems like a good idea...unless you want the HD arm to jump all over the place
[04:05] <mooky> Yodude I don't understand what your asking
[04:05] <phanter> where is the script located where I can add a command that must be executed at startup?
[04:05] <snail> phanter: you want the init.d system
[04:06] <Yodude> i was searching for a way to recover linux after a windows reinstall
[04:06] <mooky> Yodude so just re-install grub
[04:06] <Yodude> yes! that's what i need help with
[04:06] <phanter> snail: maybe. how can I add a command to that?
[04:06] <Urthmover> mooky wants you to read about grub
[04:06] <Yodude> i don't understand all the words in the steps
[04:06] <raul340> hola

[04:07] <Urthmover> keyboard shortcuts g333k
[04:07] <sistemas> Hi everybody
[04:07] <bulmer> g333k_work:  look into /etc/securetty maybe?
[04:07] <IdleOne> !es | raul340
[04:07] <ubotu> raul340: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[04:07] <tim167> printing from terminal is that possible ?
[04:07] <sistemas> I tried to run super mario war in my ubuntu edgy
[04:07] <g333k_work> Urthmover, I use xfce
[04:07] <sistemas> I tried to run in my desktop
[04:07] <agliv5> IdleOne: I would change it back, but the Windows user name started with a capital leter, and Ubutnu doesn't like capital letter users...
[04:07] <snail> phanter: all the files are in  /etc/init.d/, but i'm not sure ti's what you want
[04:07] <tim167> like cat text.txt > myprinter or something ?
[04:07] <sistemas> when I run the binary
[04:07] <Urthmover> tim167  you can  <command>  then | to lp1 I bet
[04:08] <Urthmover> or > filename
[04:08] <snail> phanter: what is it you want to do?
[04:08] <Yodude> mooky: can u please? ( btw i headr of the Super Grub Disk is it the best solution?)
[04:08] <agliv5> genii: I changed the windows user name, then deleted the corrisponding ubuntu user and created a new one...
[04:08] <sistemas> I have an error when I load a shared library
[04:08] <mooky> Yodude please what ??? whats "super grub"
[04:08] <phanter> snail: well, at bootup my system does not enable network. So I have to type "ifup eth0". I want to automate this (since it will be a server)
[04:08] <tim167> Urthmover: I want to print to Paper, that white stuff with black on it
[04:08] <sistemas> I guess I have to do a link to this shared library
[04:08] <Urthmover> is there a package for super grub out yet???!??
[04:08] <Urthmover> LMAO
[04:09] <Urthmover> and the new mega LILO
[04:09] <Yodude> nothing nothing i'll ask someone else thnx anyway
[04:09] <mooky> Yodude sudo grub
[04:09] <Urthmover> kill %1  helps I've heard
[04:09] <Vandalay> sounds like a detergent
[04:09] <mooky> from the grub shell - put in root (hd6,0) if thats the right disk
[04:09] <Urthmover> lol vandalay
[04:09] <mooky> then do setup (hd0) (if thats the boot disk)
[04:09] <mooky> then do quit
[04:09] <Vandalay> -)
[04:09] <Yodude> urthmover: can u explain to me how to reinstall GRUB alone from the ubuntu LiveCD?
[04:09] <snail> phanter: that should be being done automgaically by /etc/init.d/networking
[04:09] <genii> agliv5: 1 moment, boss on phone :)
[04:10] <Urthmover> honestly no Yodude.......I would google: grub ubuntu
[04:10] <phanter> snail: then I will check that (since it does not do it automaticly :s)
[04:10] <Urthmover> and follow the docs
[04:10] <snail> phanter: I'm not sure why it's not for you, but you probably want to fix it rather than hack it yoursefl
[04:10] <Yodude> k
[04:10] <snail> phanter: good idea
[04:10] <phanter> snail: how can I fix it? where should i start to look?
[04:10] <Urthmover> if you don't care about whats in your ubuntu install...then blow away the partitions
[04:10] <Urthmover> and reinstall ubuntu
[04:10] <Urthmover> it does it for you if you don't wanna read
[04:10] <snail> phanter: have you already changed some networkign stuff?
[04:11] <snail> phanter: where did you find the command?
[04:11] <Asl[a] n> After the splash screen, i can see the azureus window for about a second. then it dies.  what could be the problem?
[04:11] <Asl[a] n> wrong VM?
[04:11] <phanter> snail: it is a fresh install (10 minutes old) and I only changed the interfaces-file (need fixed ip address)
[04:11] <snail> phanter: google around for how to fix it based on the answers to the previous two questions
[04:11] <Asl[a] n> damnation, i am lagged.
[04:12] <phanter> snail: which command do you mean?
[04:12] <tim167> I try cat txt > lp1 or cat txt | lp1 but it doesnt work, where's my printer at ../dev/pts ?
[04:12] <snail> phanter: i'm not really a networking person
[04:12] <phanter> oke
[04:12] <Urthmover> as far as CPU resources go...what is the most efficient Torrent client that I can do multiple downloads with?
[04:12] <Urthmover> qTorrent?
[04:13] <Urthmover> personally I steer clear of java bs (too cpu hoggy)
[04:13] <Urthmover> other suggestions?
[04:13] <dataman> hello
[04:13] <Vandalay> in linux the best is azureus, but u have 2 use it w sun java
[04:13] <tonyyarusso> rtorrent?
[04:13] <bauer77> urthmover I like bittornado
[04:13] <Urthmover> thx bauer
[04:13] <Vandalay> but tere are more
[04:13] <Urthmover> I feel ya vandaly...but yeah it's java
[04:13] <bauer77> no problem
[04:13] <dataman> anyone try here to run his ubuntu as a gateway for internet?
[04:13] <Asl[a] n> !azureus
[04:13] <ubotu> azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[04:14] <Urthmover> in what way dataman?
[04:14] <Urthmover> like a firewall?
[04:14] <bulmer> dataman: yes, and you have to activate the iptables for that
[04:14] <dataman> i will show you i have a scheme
[04:14] <bauer77> its not the best user interface but it works well for not killing your internet.
[04:14] <goodgerster> Urthmover: I can recommend uTorrent under wine.
[04:14] <dataman> internet <------ra0 UBUNTU eth0-------><------xl0 OpenBSD
[04:14] <bauer77> bittornado usus python
[04:14] <Urthmover> I used to use a iptable derivative called  shorewall I think was the name
[04:14] <dataman> god
[04:15] <dataman> i know i need iptable but i don tknow how use it
[04:15] <dataman> internet <------ra0 UBUNTU eth0-------><------xl0 OpenBSD
[04:15] <dataman> i need iptable rules on my ubuntu
[04:15] <Urthmover> dataman.....go read about shorewall
[04:15] <goodgerster> !enter | dataman
[04:15] <ubotu> dataman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:15] <Vandalay> just use "firstarter, which is a nice gui-frontend for iptables
[04:15] <dataman> shorewall?
[04:15] <Vandalay> er firestarter
[04:15] <Urthmover> there are many apps that simplify the iptables policy stuff
[04:15] <bulmer> dataman: i think the ipfw on openbsd is harder..but they should be almost same as iptables
[04:15] <mnoir> dataman: i use an old PC running IPCop as a NATted firewall
[04:15] <Urthmover> isnt that a movie vandalay
[04:15] <Urthmover> lol
[04:16] <redoverlord> hi. just updated to edgy, but with the generic linux image (and nvidia), but then the system wont boot. any help from u guys?
[04:16] <Vandalay> mb too -)
[04:16] <dataman> firestarter is a package?

[04:16] <Urthmover> LMAO
[04:16] <genii> agliv5: OK, back :) So as I gather you are directly mapping windoze usernames to unix usernames? eg: not going thru smbpassword to create users
[04:16] <Asl[a] n> Vandalay, the architect?
[04:17] <Vandalay> no..the latex salesman
[04:17] <Asl[a] n> just the other day, Jon Stewart pulled out a quip out of seinfeld and put it in his act- saying he loved the show
[04:17] <Urthmover> oh new question.....So when I install ubuntu will it automatically mount  the windows partitions (NTFS)  .... allowing me to browse to /dev/hda or whatever...and suck files over?
[04:18] <Vandalay> hehe yes seinfeld rules
[04:18] <Urthmover> but you get my drift....will it do that?
[04:18] <Urthmover> I heard of something called FUSE
[04:18] <Vandalay> mb u have to put mount lines in /etc/fstab
[04:18] <Urthmover> but I think it was on my Slax stuff
[04:18] <phanter> snail: found the problem... stupid. Was using the old debian-interfaces file for ubuntu. Had to replace one word and it worked (just in case you wanted to know this :))
[04:18] <Urthmover> ah fstab
[04:18] <Urthmover> okie dokey
[04:19] <agliv5> genii: I thought it would be easier that way...
[04:19] <devilsadvocate> im having trouble mounting my ubuntu drive on windows using the ext2 ifs.. can anyone help me? it says the drive is not formatted
[04:19] <snail> phanter: and now network comes up automagically?
[04:19] <Vandalay> if u use ntfs, install kmods ntfs & mb ntfs-3g
[04:19] <Urthmover> so why haven't MUDs gotten cooler?
[04:19] <mooky> devilsadvocate thats not an ubuntu problem
[04:19] <snail> devilsadvocate: windows basically can't mount ext2
[04:19] <Urthmover> ok I'll google that thanks vandalay
[04:19] <devilsadvocate> i know mooky

[04:24] <poi> hi all, is it possible to record the screen unter ubuntu like you can do it with camtasia or contribute under windows?
[04:24] <genii> agliv5: OK I'll return shortly
[04:24] <tim167> how do I see all the programs I have installed (i know i have cd burning software but i dont know what its called)
[04:24] <goodgerster> jo1: there should be an uninstall program hidden in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[04:24] <Vandalay> look in alsamixer
[04:24] <Poromenos> How can I make the fonts smaller, more like the windows equivalents? Everything looks so big...
[04:24] <mnoir> poi - are they commandline recorders?
[04:24] <Urthmover> compacting files of big blank torrents takes forever
[04:25] <bulmer> tim167: most packages can be listed like so   dpkg -l
[04:25] <Vandalay> install webcore fonts
[04:25] <Poromenos> Vandalay: how do i do that?
[04:25] <Poromenos> Vandalay: aptitude?
[04:25] <Vandalay> & system-prefs-fonts
[04:25] <poi> mnoir: no, I want to record what I am doing for my kids at school
[04:25] <Vandalay> in gnome menu
[04:25] <Poromenos> Vandalay: ah, okay, thanks
[04:25] <genii> agliv5: I think i see the issue. Is the windows username also  agliv?
[04:25] <tim167> bulmer thanks! that's what i needed
[04:26] <bulmer> np
[04:26] <poi> mnoir: I changed from windows to ubuntu. No I am looking for a program to record teh screen
[04:26] <stdin> poi: recordmydesktop or xvidcap
[04:26] <Urthmover> yeah I think mplayer has some external tools that do that from commandline
[04:27] <__james> what's the command in terminal to know what device is on my usb
[04:27] <poi> stdin: thx I check those
[04:27] <LjL> __james: lsusb
[04:27] <Pirate-king> hello

[04:27] <devilsadvocate> __james, try dmesg
[04:27] <jo1> Thanks! Worked perfectly.

[04:28] <goodgerster> !ask | amnesiac
[04:28] <ubotu> amnesiac: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:28] <amnesiac> i have ubuntu ubuntu 6.06
[04:28] <genii> agliv5: The problem is that the permissions of the folder in /home/agliv  do not allow a windows user of other that agliv with the proper unix password access
[04:29] <variant> amnesiac: thats hardly an affliction
[04:29] <amnesiac> can not login as non-root
[04:29] <goodgerster> variant: :P
[04:29] <amnesiac> it says "cannot cd to /home/myuser"
[04:29] <variant> amnesiac: did you try to set a root password?
[04:29] <goodgerster> amnesiac: there is no root user in ubuntu by default...
[04:29] <Pirate-king> I just installed ubuntu and wireless assistant my networks from the router shows up, I do dmesg and the wireless card shoews upI go to connection properties and eth1 which is the wireless card doesn't show up
[04:29] <devilsadvocate> amnesiac, did you try to make a new user?
[04:29] <agliv5> genii: it was working fine untill I wanted to change the permissions of some files that I copied from windows to the ubuntu shared folder...
[04:29] <amnesiac> yes i know
[04:30] <goodgerster> Pirate-king: try using network-manager..
[04:30] <amnesiac> but i have activated it
[04:30] <variant> amnesiac: probably there is no /home/myuser directory or the permissions on /home/myuser have been damaged
[04:30] <goodgerster> !network-manager | Pirate-king
[04:30] <ubotu> Pirate-king: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[04:30] <agliv5> genii: Not even Jedi had access to change the permissions...
[04:30] <variant> amnesiac: you broke it in other words :)
[04:30] <pike_> Pirate-king: can you "sudo ifconfig eth1 up"  then "iwlist eth1 scan" to look for networks?
[04:30] <Asl[a] n> does anyone know some light-weight/console-based torrent clients apart from the original client and the bittornado client?

[04:32] <g333k_work> Hi, is the flash player plug-in 9 available in the ubuntu repos?
[04:32] <genii> agliv5: There are 2 basics mathods you can use. You can change ownership of the subdirectories which are shared to belong to user jedi. Or you can put into the smb.conf some settings which relax the write permissions.
[04:33] <amnesiac> i did a backup of my home
[04:33] <joe4> Ok... one more question, I am trying to remove a program I installed (not with wine just a normal program) and it doesn't show up in the "Add/Remove...", So... How would I remove this?
[04:33] <variant> amnesiac: please just do as I ask or I can't help you

[04:43] <Vandalay> er no that cant be it
[04:43] <mrpurple> or are just textual istruction ?
[04:44] <BlueEagle> dv5237_: I believe you can. The clue is to catch the signal emitted from the lid indicator and just ignoring it. How you would accomplish that is another matter.

[04:50] <mojo> Julle: you should be able to do that in pretty much any linux distro
[04:50] <BlueEagle> julle: Any linux distro should be capable of that provided you can install iptables into the kernel (ie. they use the standard kernel)
[04:50] <genii> ping agliv5
[04:50] <genii> bah
[04:50] <Vandalay> iptables is in the kernel  how nice is that -)
[04:51] <jrib> ratschnowski: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[04:51] <pike_> Julle: i have heard it is pretty easy to setup with the firestarter application (graphical front end to configuring iptables).  you might buy a wrt54gL and install openwrt on it if you want ot really play around
[04:51] <ratschnowski> i did that
[04:51] <ratschnowski> the paket is not found
[04:51] <jrib> ratschnowski: pastebin the output

[04:51] <BlueEagle> julle: I have found that shorewall provides an excellent interface for setting up firewalls and iprouting/masquerading.
[04:51] <Julle> mojo yes but i am beginner at linux and networking and would like something that is almost plug n play? like SmoothWall is as a firewall
[04:51] <amnesiac> variant any idea?
[04:51] <hexidigital> is there a way to alias a sendmail message, but keep the message for the originally intended username?
[04:52] <variant> amnesiac: sorry, i'm at work and had some to do there..
[04:52] <Vandalay> !firestarter
[04:52] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:52] <variant> amnesiac: it doesn't look liek a permissions problem

[04:52] <ratschnowski> jrib: E: Konnte Paket sun-java5-jre nicht finden
[04:52] <ratschnowski> which means, packet could not be found

[04:52] <variant> amnesiac: unless you symlinked /home/infomaster to another directory that has root perms??
[04:52] <BlueEagle> julle: Doesn't smoothwall use shorewall?
[04:52] <mojo> Julle: hmm...Firestarter has settings for multiple net cards to "enable internet connection sharing"... is this along the lines of what you want to do?

[04:53] <pike_> eodchop: id get one that has an external antenna port.  other than that check some wardriving forums (those still around?) fro recommendations.
[04:53] <BlueEagle> jrib: E: Can't find the package sun-java5-jre

[05:02] <jrib> ratschnowski:  ok, that one does not have dapper multiverse, it only has dapper-backports multiverse
[05:02] <mojo> Vandalay: biggest problem i had was getting the right /dev entry to look at.  i think it was /dev/snd/midic1d1 or something... where c#d# was card number and data channel number.  having motherboard sound complicated my setup, since the audigy was as a secondary soundcard.
[05:02] <agliv5> I think so
[05:02] <agliv5> genii: I think so
[05:03] <Da5iD101> If a USB external drive isn't listed in fstab and autofs isn't installed, how is it mounting it automatically?

[05:03] <jrib> ratschnowski: should work now, np
[05:03] <mojo> Vandalay: other thing with the audigy cards is you have to send a special text string out the midi to activate the ir receiver on the external box

[05:08] <Math^> Da5iD101: I tried all ways, also with alsamixer
[05:09] <redoverlord> Julle, debian or slack. and forget gui.
[05:09] <mojo> Julle: iptables being the kernel module that does the actual packet filtering and re-routing and such
[05:09] <Vandalay> if the setting in iptables are good you dont have to run firestarter again

[05:11] <mojo> Julle: redoverlord may be right, in the end... advanced config like that is probably best done via command-line changes to iptables rules.  but firestarter may work for simple two-card setup if one is the internet connecton and the 2nd computer is connected to your linux box's 2nd net card (making you it's router when all is said and done)

[05:17] <genii> agliv5 After you change the file you will need to do: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[05:17] <esculapius> hello
[05:17] <nikitis> Vandalay, and delete it?
[05:18] <whiteline> clear
[05:18] <nikitis> how can I browse to the .bin if the window no longer comes up
[05:18] <Vandalay> ok..i see..
[05:18] <agliv5> genii: thanks will try it out
[05:18] <whiteline> I just isntalled ndisgtk, it recognizes my wireless wmpg54gs.inf hardware but it doesent display a wireless option in network settings.
[05:18] <Vandalay> if have had this prob too, just dont know how to reset it
[05:18] <Vandalay> at this moment
[05:18] <esculapius> anyone could suggest the best access point+usb or pmcia devices to use under dapper 6.06 with my notebook.One that certainly will work easily
[05:18] <mnoir> Linuturk: start with /var/log - do an ls -latr there to see the most often written ones
[05:19] <pike_> esculapius: looking for a wireless router?
[05:19] <RadicalDreamer> Uhm. Hello. I would like to reconfigurate automatically my net connections, IP assignations, everything. But I tried to run DhClient and I get a lot of "permission denied" and "operation not permitted", even if I run it as root. Can you help me?
[05:19] <esculapius> yes
[05:19] <Vandalay> in my dl-actions in ff there is an torrent-extensioj
[05:19] <nikitis> Vandalay, how would I look it up?  Google doesn't seem to be answering my question.  Probably cause i'm not asking the write search query
[05:19] <LjL> RadicalDreamer: i have no idea why that would happen... but a better idea is editing /etc/network/interfaces anyway
[05:19] <pike_> esculapius: i plug the wrt54gL all the time great little router
[05:19] <genii> agliv5 It is a simple solution which just maps any user to the user that owns /home/agliv
[05:19] <LjL> RadicalDreamer: "man interfaces" for the usage
[05:19] <Linuturk> mnoir: what am I looking for?
[05:20] <pike_> esculapius: like $58 on newegg
[05:20] <nikitis> Vandalay, there's not in mine
[05:20] <mous16> giorno a tutti
[05:20] <RadicalDreamer> Thanks, LjL.
[05:20] <mnoir> Linuturk: i don't know - mostly what was happening when the sys locked up - you are on a treasure hunt  :)
[05:20] <Vandalay> i saw that there is not a "add new action" tab
[05:20] <agliv5> genii: testparm says WARNING: passdb expand explicit = yes is deprecated
[05:21] <gilligan_> hi
[05:21] <genii> agliv5 Thats fine
[05:21] <gilligan_> are there any mirrors to grab feisty herd2 from ? cdimage.ubuntu.com is /very/ slow for me
[05:21] <mnoir> Linuturk: depending on the cause, you might see nothing that helps
[05:21] <agliv5> genii: and forced user is unknown
[05:21] <mooky> gilligan_ nope
[05:21] <mooky> gilligan_ just look on the website for mirrors
[05:21] <variant> gilligan_: try bittorrent
[05:22] <agliv5> genii: Unknown parameter encountered: "forced user"
[05:22] <genii> agliv5 ah, you have an older samba distribution then. Wait a moment and I will do another way
[05:22] <mnoir> ubuntu doesn't just  lock up a lot - this might be hard to find...
[05:22] <agliv5> genii: ok
[05:22] <Linuturk> well, I'm looking through what I assume are the modified dates mnoir , and I'm not seeing anything at that paticular time
[05:22] <Menisk> Are there any good speech recognition engines for ubuntu 6.10?
[05:22] <Linuturk> at least, at the time the server locked up.
[05:22] <nikitis> Vandalay, agreed, very slopy on Firefox
[05:22] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Menisk about spheex | Menisk, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about spheex - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:22] <mnoir> Linuturk: are ther entries after you know it 'locked up'?
[05:23] <LjL> err sorry menisk. sphinx2-bin
[05:23] <mnoir> Linuturk: if so then you will need to narrow your definition of 'locked up'
[05:23] <genii> agliv5 wait, just remove the d from forced to make it only force  then try
[05:23] <DARKGuy> Hey, anybody here uses vmware-player? I try to run any vmx file and it shows the license agreement, I accept it and nothing happens, back to terminal, it happens even if I run it with no parameters, any help? I really need to get vmware working >.<
[05:23] <LjL> Menisk: not sure i'd really call it "good", but it's also the only one available i'm afraid
[05:23] <mooky> DARKGuy try not launching it from a terminal
[05:23] <ziadoz> can anyone help with my wireless adapter?
[05:24] <Linuturk> mnoir: well, the machine locked up at 12:30 am this morning. that's 00:30 here. The last entry I have before that time is yesterday at 15:21
[05:24] <mnoir> Linu - no the modified datas just give you a clue as to which logs to look INSIDE of
[05:24] <Menisk> LjL, thanks. I'll try it.
[05:24] <DARKGuy> mooky: Oh, you rock, thanks XD
[05:24] <ziadoz> i got ndiswrapper and drivers installed, but the hardware still doesn't appear in the networking devices menu
[05:24] <pike_> DARKGuy: btw you can download vmware server for free and is much nicer to work with
[05:24] <DARKGuy> mooky: I wonder, why not from the terminal though >_>... it's weird but hey, works, thanks xD
[05:24] <Linuturk> the next entry I have is when I manually powered off the machine and rebooted at 11:08 AM this morning, shortly ago. mnoir
[05:24] <NetCruZa> damn... trickle doesn't work for Firefox and DownThemAll.... Maybe i can just use another Download Manager, but it needs to be compatible with Firefox? Any Ideas?
[05:24] <DARKGuy> pike_: isn't that non-free oO?
[05:24] <mooky> DARKGuy probably due to environment variables
[05:24] <Linuturk> mnoir: starting with the udev log
[05:25] <DARKGuy> mooky: I see ^^
[05:25] <agliv5> genii: tesparm appears to be ok :)
[05:25] <multidex> I'm a first time Ubuntu installer - installing on a Dell Inspiron 5160.  I want to install my Wireless network card.  How do I get Ubuntu to discover it?
[05:25] <pike_> DARKGuy: well its nonfree but it doesnt cost anything
[05:25] <mnoir> Linuturk:  no logs altered after that time?? hmm - there should atleast be a heartbeat in messages
[05:25] <frogzoo> DARKGuy: where did you get this vmx file ?
[05:25] <Linuturk> no logs are present for that gap
[05:25] <Linuturk> mnoir:
[05:25] <DARKGuy> pike_: Oh yay, I shall check it later then :P
[05:25] <DARKGuy> frogzoo: www.easyvmx.com o.o;
[05:25] <frogzoo> DARKGuy: that should work - wonder that it doesn't
[05:25] <sidolin> hey
[05:25] <mnoir> Linuturk: lines that look like:               Jan 26 11:18:21 localhost -- MARK --
[05:25] <DARKGuy> frogzoo: tried with other vmx that vmware provides in their site too, they didn't :P
[05:26] <genii> agliv5 OK, so need to restart samba then after try to reconnect from windoze box. Any name now on windoze should just be mapped to user agliv on the unix box now
[05:26] <DARKGuy> frogzoo: yeah, but running it outside the terminal (ie. menu) works :P
[05:26] <sidolin> is there already a qt4.2 and pyqt 4.2 package for ubuntu?
[05:26] <DARKGuy> Anyhow, gotta poof, thanks a ton!
[05:26] <mooky> sidolin take a look
[05:26] <agliv5> genii: restarting and testing now
[05:26] <mnoir> Linuturk: normally every half hour
[05:26] <sidolin> mooky: in feisty is only 4.1
[05:26] <mooky> sidolin so probably not
[05:26] <sidolin> not good :/
[05:26] <Linuturk> mnoir: those would be in the actual logs, right?
[05:27] <frogzoo> darkmatter: have you tried opening through the menu launcher?
[05:27] <agliv5> genii: it's working again!!! Thanks for your assistance :)
[05:27] <genii> agliv5 If later you make some share which the directory does not have write access for the unix user agliv, add into the section something like: <allowedusernamehere> = agliv
[05:28] <mnoir> Linuturk: in the log file NAMED messages
[05:28] <Linuturk> mnoir: how do i view the logs? in a text editor? can't I grep them somehow?
[05:28] <sidolin> is there any clean way to get qt 4.2?
[05:28] <genii> agliv5 where <allowedusernamehere> is a unix name which has write priveledge to the directory
[05:28] <mnoir> Linuturk: they are conventional text files - all the tools in linux that work on text files can be used
[05:29] <agliv5> genii: will do TTFN and thx again :)
[05:29] <Linuturk> lol
[05:29] <mooky> sidolin build yourself a package
[05:29] <genii> agliv5 You are welcome :)
[05:29] <Linuturk> mnoir: and what is the best way to grep those files?
[05:29] <mooky> sidolin why do you need that version ?
[05:29] <Vandalay> from the gnome menu  sytem-admin-sytemlog
[05:29] <sidolin> for development, my codevelopers have already 4.2
[05:29] <mnoir> Linuturk: the best way to grep a text file is with grep.  I do not understand the question.
[05:29] <sidolin> and it seems there are some incompatibilities
[05:29] <mooky> sidolin what platform are they developing on
[05:29] <JaXxon> Linuturk, what are you trying to find name or content
[05:30] <sidolin> gentoo and win
[05:30] <mooky> sidolin well, seems silly to be developing on bleeding edge
[05:30] <NetLarIrvine> Anyone install Ubuntu on Parallels??
[05:30] <mooky> sidolin they will have to build a qt4.2 ubuntu/debian package
[05:30] <NetLarIrvine> I have an iso , does not seem to work
[05:30] <mooky> NetLarIrvine on Parallels ?
[05:30] <mnoir> Linuturk: you are on a treasure hunt - perusing the file with less, most or a text editor would be my choice
[05:30] <sidolin> yeah, but as qt4 is pretty new we need 4.2 because there are some nice new things in it
[05:30] <NetLarIrvine> the virtual machine program for Mac
[05:31] <mooky> sidolin thats part of consideration, support/usablility for people
[05:31] <sidolin> mooky: or link static
[05:31] <Linuturk> mnoir: JaXxon instead of opening up the log in nano, how do I query the text file via cli? dmesg /var/log/messages | grep mark ?
[05:31] <mooky> sidolin they should build a package for every distro they want support/compatability
[05:31] <mooky> sidolin personal preference - link
[05:31] <sidolin> yeah, but most (almost all) of our users will use win
[05:31] <mooky> sidolin so why bother with ubuntu ?
[05:31] <Cockroach> Yo, can someone tell me how to get rid of /md1. it keeps trying to start when I boot the machine, but the disks are in md0 so it cant
[05:31] <mnoir> Linuturk: pls join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[05:31] <sidolin> its for fun and i dont like to use windows
[05:32] <mooky> Cockroach mdadm - delete the device
[05:32] <JaXxon> Linuturk, say again what are you looking for in the file
[05:32] <mooky> sidolin well, either build a package - or don't use it
[05:32] <sidolin> and with qt its not so a big problem to do cross-development
[05:32] <sidolin> ok
[05:32] <NetCruZa> I am going to buy an external 500 GB hard-disk soon, I need to use it on both Ubuntu and Windows. But FAT32 won't allow one file to be more than 4 GB right? What can i do then, when i need to backup my DVD's?
[05:32] <B_166-ER-X> I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, I'm a new user and I can't configure properly my keyboard, backslash missingsomeone can help?
[05:32] <sidolin> NetCruZa: you can use ext2 on windows
[05:33] <roberto> jeste !!!!!!!!!!!brat
[05:33] <mooky> NetCruZa you can't - cross-writable file systems are unstable
[05:33] <sidolin> but you have to install a driver
[05:33] <mooky> sidolin its not stable on read or write
[05:33] <NetCruZa> sidolin: i can?! never head about that? Thought it was only FAT and NTFS that worked under Windows?
[05:33] <sidolin> yes, not really, but imho better than using something like ntfs-3g
[05:33] <sidolin> NetCruZa: fs-driver.org
[05:33] <mooky> NetCruZa you can use ext2 /3 but its quite unstable and can cause massive corruption and data loss
[05:34] <newusers> has anybody compiled a custom kernel in ubuntu before?
[05:34] <sidolin> but mooky is right, its not really great
[05:34] <sidolin> but for me it worked good
[05:34] <mooky> sidolin its better to accept cross-support file systems don't really work at the moment - use as a bare minimum
[05:34] <mooky> or only use on none important data
[05:34] <nikitis> Question:  When you install azureus with apt-get.  Where does it install the .bin file?
[05:34] <sidolin> or use a file-server ;)

[05:34] <Cockroach> mdadm - delete? can you give me the command please. I've done mdadm -v -S /dev/md1 which gets rid of it from /proc/mdstat, but it comes back when i restart
[05:34] <NetCruZa> mooky: well, i am not interested in that then :( and if i need to install drivers to every Windows computer i will be using the harddisk on, it will give too much trouble. I think i will just have to live with the 4 GB limit then?
[05:35] <sidolin> NetCruZa: yes
[05:35] <Menisk> Need backup!!! I told people in the windows channel to try ubuntu and am being roasted and being told the community is a bunch of assholes.
[05:35] <mooky> NetCruZa or just make it nttfs - then make it so only windows car write to it, but your ubntu box can read it
[05:35] <Vandalay> soetimes it can help to run azureus from the source files

[05:36] <NetCruZa> mooky: I have to write to it with Ubuntu, so that won't be a working solution... And writing to NTFS is too dangerous right?

[05:48] <Vandalay> there are rpm's for it but you are not helped w that..
[05:48] <roberto> plees your help! Haw off firewall  this ubuntu
yeah and then?
[05:48] <mack75> B_166-ER-X: sudo kbd-config
[05:48] <mooky> Cockroach thats very strange - you have to have the array disabled to remove the devices, it should be able to  remove the two devices left over
[05:48] <LjL> roberto: you want a firewall?
[05:49] <roberto> firewall off yes
[05:49] <mooky> roberto just visit the polish channel

[05:49] <mack75> B_166-ER-X: choose the option choose keyboard map from a list

[05:49] <capt-rogers> looking for users/volunteers to complete a survey i made, about open source in the workplace. i have 14 completed surveys..looking to get to 100...here be my url.  http://vger1.dyndns.org/ucc/survey.php?sid=28     (its a safe questionnaire. i am only collecting info about open souce use in the workplace.) thanks in advance!
[05:49] <LjL> roberto: there is no firewall enabled in Ubuntu
[05:49] <genii> LjL I'm pretty sure he wants to turn one off
[05:49] <roberto> yes
[05:50] <mooky> capt-rogers this is an ubuntu support channel, please take it to ubuntu-offtopic
[05:50] <roberto> but haw
[05:50] <LjL> roberto, it is already off
[05:50] <LjL> roberto: Ubuntu has no firewall, by default
[05:50] <apokryphos> !firewall
[05:50] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[05:51] <roberto> iptables not working!! iptables bock torrents
[05:51] <mooky> roberto visit the ubuntu channel that speaks your language and discuss it
[05:51] <frogzoo> roberto: sudo iptables -L -v
[05:51] <LjL> roberto: your router/modem blocks torrents, not iptables
[05:51] <Vandalay> in bittorrentclient ther is a port specifoed
[05:51] <mack75> roberto: you have iptables installed on your machine?
[05:51] <Cockroach> mdstat says it's inactive. that's all I can tell you. I've never (that I recall) mounted md1. well i might have done. but it's not in fstab
[05:51] <Vandalay> open that port in iptables
[05:51] <naknomik> Anybody using bacula on ubuntu?
[05:52] <LjL> mack75: iptables is installed by default
[05:52] <mooky> Cockroach it should be inactive as you disable it before
not installed???
[05:52] <mooky> Cockroach you don't have to have mounted it but mdadm --details /dev/md1 shows you have 2 disks assigned to that array
[05:52] <mack75> B_166-ER-X: what's not installed?
[05:52] <mooky> Cockroach  you need to remove those two devices
[05:52] <roberto> iptables -L -v     Error inserting x_tables
alternative way: dpkg-deb --info
[05:53] <Vandalay> use firestarter saves you headache
[05:53] <LjL> roberto: you need sudo
[05:53] <LjL> roberto: but i am sure that iptables is not the problem
[05:53] <Cockroach> when I try to remove it, it says "mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md1"
[05:53] <nixnoob> how to change order of grub entries?
[05:53] <roberto> wchat is this sudo
or dpkg-deb --contents
[05:53] <frogzoo> roberto: that's odd...
[05:53] <mooky> Cockroach thats what surprising me
[05:53] <LjL> roberto: sudo is the command to be root. you know what root is?
[05:53] <hexidigital> nixnoob:  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

[05:54] <Stormx2> Is there some problem with ubuntu's topdir variable?
[05:54] <thewall83> Hi all!
[05:54] <LjL> roberto: try "sudo iptables -L -v" if you want
[05:54] <mooky> Stormx2 explain
[05:54] <Vandalay> sudo specifies what "normal" users can execute root commands
[05:54] <Vandalay> such as opening ports in firewall
any other ideas?
[05:54] <Stormx2> mooky: The people in #audacious (media player) are telling me ubuntu's topdir variable is broken
[05:54] <mack75> [05:54] <mack75> Hi every body, in the last days I upgrade my dapper to edgy, but now I've a problem with NFS resources the kernel error key is nfs_readpage_truncate_uninitialised_page
[05:54] <mack75> Someone has a similar problem?
[05:54] <mack75> Can someone help me?
[05:54] <mack75> <<<<<<<<<[05:55] <roberto> sudo iptables -L -v working  but what naw
[05:55] <LjL> Ubotu, tell mack75 about paste | mack75, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:55] <vnese> hello, how can i see how many ports that my pc open ?
[05:55] <mooky> Stormx2 topdir isn't anything to do with ubuntu - its a variable set by the application
[05:55] <frogzoo> mack75: please don't spam
[05:55] <Stormx2> mack75: Please don't do that again..
[05:55] <mooky> frogzoo he's done it about 4 times now
[05:55] <thewall83> I would like to install an nvidia driver 96xx on my machine where I have two kernel...one vanilla and one default by ubuntu
[05:56] <Vandalay> isnt that "netstat"
[05:56] <Cockroach> mooky: so, got any other ideas?
[05:56] <LjL> Ubotu, tell mack75 about attitude | mack75, see the private message from Ubotu
[05:56] <Vandalay> or visit grc.com
[05:56] <mack75> vnese: run "netstat -ntpel" from a terminal
[05:56] <mooky> Cockroach thats a tough one as I can't tell why your machine is behaving
[05:56] <mooky> vnese its just "netstat -a | grep LIST"
[05:56] <brianski> mack75, upgrading from dapper to ubuntu is perilous and not recommended
[05:56] <mooky> vnese shows you everything its listening on
[05:56] <brianski> back up the files you care about and re-install
[05:56] <LjL> brianski: ahum?
[05:56] <LjL> "from dapper to ubuntu"?
[05:56] <roberto> sudo iptables -L -v    input/forward/output accept all
[05:56] <thewall83> but the problem is that i can install it only over one of the two kernel, anyone can help me?
[05:57] <brianski> err
[05:57] <Cockroach> mooky, The install is only a few days old?
[05:57] <brianski> sorry from dapper to edgy :)
[05:57] <LjL> and upgrading from dapper to edgy is not not recommended
[05:57] <mooky> Cockroach shouldn't matter, somethings being strange
[05:57] <Hakker> I know
[05:57] <mooky> Cockroach as a long shot - try re-enabling the array and removing the disks - that shouldn't work but, hey, try it
[05:57] <Hakker> bah wrong channel
[05:57] <frogzoo> roberto: ok, so your iptables rules are empty - meaning that is not the problem, look elsewhere
[05:57] <brianski> LjL, oh? i've heard a lot of folks say not to do it
[05:57] <brianski> i haven't really investigated it tho so i might be spreading fud
[05:57] <Cockroach> commands?
[05:57] <mooky> Cockroach mdadm --help will give you a list
[05:58] <mack75> so? I need reinstall ?
[05:58] <LjL> brianski: some folks have had problems, that's true. mostly due to having third-party repositories enabled. however, that's far from not being recommended -- if it weren't recommended, we wouldn't have wiki pages, bot factoids and programs to do it
[05:58] <mack75> LjL: so? I need reinstall ?
[05:58] <LjL> brianski: you could say something like "i know that some people have had problems with upgrading, and sometimes it's suggested that a fresh reinstall is better". at least that doesn't spread FUD ;)
[05:59] <tyler_> how do i make root able to use xpdf?
[05:59] <LjL> mack75: you want to upgrade?
[05:59] <tyler_> how do i make root able to use xpdf?
[05:59] <frogzoo> tyler_: unnecessary
[05:59] <mack75> LjL: I've upgrade
[05:59] <battlesquid> how do i get java to work in firefox?
[05:59] <mack75> LjL: yet
[05:59] <frogzoo> !java | battlesquid
[05:59] <ubotu> battlesquid: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:00] <LjL> mack75: NFS? i don't know.
[06:00] <mack75> battlesquid:  check for plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
[06:00] <Vandalay> put a link to java in mozilla/plugind dir
[06:00] <roberto> frogzoo thanks!!   download speed 10kb/s I must moree!! i heve to 1024kb/s
[06:00] <LjL> roberto, that is not a problem with ubuntu
[06:01] <roberto> Qbittorrent ?
[06:01] <battlesquid> mack75, i think i need to install sun-java5-jre only?
[06:01] <LjL> roberto, it is a problem with your modem or with your connection
[06:01] <mooky> roberto could be your host, your networ, your isp, your seeders, your seeders isp, your router etc
[06:01] <testtest> okay weird problem - i downloaded and burned ubuntu 6.10 and it starts on all the computers i have except the one i want to install to.
[06:01] <Vandalay> the fedora & mb gentoo forums have nice howto's mb it will work on ubunto w a little tweaking
[06:01] <testtest> booting from cd fails
[06:02] <LjL> testtest: fails like what?
[06:02] <mack75> LjL: yes, my files are in other machine, and I'm working from other, then I mount an NFS unit and create a symbolic link to my dir
[06:02] <testtest> and loading it in windows says start2.exe fials
[06:02] <roberto> haw unblocked ports 6881 - 6889
[06:02] <testtest> it gives me a cd error - reboot prompt
[06:02] <LjL> testtest: sounds like a bad CD drive, can't you mount another?
[06:02] <mooky> roberto /join #iptables for an iptables lesson
[06:02] <testtest> its a laptop =-\
[06:02] <testtest> but yea thats what it sounded like to me as well
[06:02] <battlesquid> frogzoo, mack75 : it appears i have installed sun-java5-jre ...
[06:02] <vnese> hello , i have problem with apache2 , my friends cant see my home server, it says connection time out
[06:03] <mooky> vnese something is blcoking it
[06:03] <mooky> or its not listening
[06:03] <LjL> testtest: tough luck then. you might try installing from NFS and that sort of difficult stuff
[06:03] <mooky> or its the wrong IP
[06:03] <LjL> Ubotu, tell testtest about install | testtest, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:03] <testtest> but i figure ill try an older ubuntu burned from a different drive?
[06:03] <mack75> battlesquid: if you open a firefox window
[06:03] <vnese> mooky: but when i type my IP , it works properly
[06:03] <mack75> battlesquid: and load "about:plugin", what happen?
[06:03] <testtest> yea i know nothing about that. but thanks LjL, ill read the im
[06:03] <LjL> testtest: well, why older? but yes, you can try that if you have CDs to spare. i also suggest that you try this cd instead of the full one
[06:03] <LjL> Ubotu, tell testteest about minimal | testteest, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:03] <mooky> vnese what is your ip
[06:03] <battlesquid> mack75, when i ls /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/ no java plugin is there
[06:03] <mack75> battlesquid: "about: plugin" without space
[06:04] <vnese> mooky: <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:04] <tyler_>  how can i use xpdf as root? how can i use xpdf as root?
[06:04] <testtest> well i dunno, i figured maybe a version earlier than 6.10 might have a double troubleshooting effect
[06:04] <testtest> new drive AND different version
[06:04] <testtest> 2 birds, one stone?
[06:04] <boxubi> can anyone identify this machine? http://d.im.craigslist.org/C4/U8/etb1lxuh79BEqp31sCcuEogDUhBU.jpg
[06:04] <mooky> vnese ok - so thats public, thats great. So either something is blocking it at your end or his end -OR your web server is not listening on that address
[06:04] <LjL> testtest: it's perhaps also possible to install from USB drives, somehow, but i don't really know
[06:04] <boxubi> is it a dell?
[06:04] <vnese> mooky: looks like what u see is a gateway
[06:04] <Vandalay> libjavaplugin_oji.so
[06:04] <mooky> boxubi this is ubuntu support
[06:04] <battlesquid> mack75, what do you mean load about:plugin ?
[06:04] <mooky> vnese doubtul
[06:04] <mack75> battlesquid: have you a /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so file?
[06:05] <fixer> hello everybody :)
[06:05] <LjL> testtest: well, there is no reason really to suspect that it's a problem with Edgy... but anyway, Dapper is supported for longer, and IMHO it also tends to be more stable, so you could try Dapper for sure if you like
[06:05] <cmh> i got beryl to run fine on ubuntu 6.10, only problem i'm having is that every time at login the gnome-panel freezes and i have to kill it in the terminal, anyone have any suggestions?
[06:05] <mooky> cmh /join #ubuntu-xgl
[06:05] <LjL> Ubotu, tell testtest about minimal | testtest, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:05] <mack75> battlesquid:  open a new firefox tab or window and write in the address bar "about: plugin" and enter
[06:05] <LjL> testtest: (sorry, i got your nickname wrong before)
[06:05] <testtest> yea im clicking the links
[06:06] <testtest> no problem dude youve been insanely nice and helpful
[06:06] <student_> czesc
[06:06] <testtest> im gonna try some stuff
[06:06] <testtest> thanks
[06:06] <battlesquid> mack75, no i don't, but i have "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/" directory - there's no plugin dir in there
[06:06] <vnese> mooky:  i dont know what happens , it used to work
[06:06] <facugaich> What FTP client do you recommend?
[06:06] <mooky> vnese well, something changed either blocking it at your end or his
[06:06] <vnese> facugaich: gFTp
[06:06] <LjL> !best | facugaich
[06:06] <ubotu> facugaich: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[06:06] <battlesquid> mack75, the url is not valid
[06:06] <mooky> vnese or apache isn't running
[06:07] <LjL> Ubotu, tell facugaich about ftp | facugaich, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:07] <frogzoo> cmh: adding elevator=cfq to kopt in /boot/grub/menu.lst might help
[06:07] <vnese> mooky: when i typed netstat I dont see my apache service
[06:07] <mack75> battlesquid: sorry, the correct is "about: plugins"
[06:07] <facugaich> LjL: Well, I didn't ask for "the best", I just wanted to see some recommendations
[06:07] <mooky> vnese do you see http or port 80 listening
[06:07] <tyler_> ash: sux: command not found
[06:07] <Aphros> hi
[06:08] <Demoncrat> I use gFTP most of the time
[06:08] <LjL> facugaich: well, the main problem is that there is a lot of people in this channel, and if everyone gave recommandations, it would become a huge flood
[06:08] <mack75> B_166-ER-X: what's up?
[06:08] <battlesquid> mack75, i still get invalid url, however when using quotes i am directed to google search for "about: plugins"
