[04:15] <anathematic> how do I find out what version of ssh I'm using on my ubuntu server?
[04:16] <Hammerjak> ok jochar, type 'ps -ef | grep ftp'
[04:16] <jochar> root 17488 30485 0 07:17 pts/0 00:00:00 grep ftp
[04:16] <Scunizi> anathematic: you can apt-cache search openssh ... there are other ways that are more direct but I can't remember them
[04:17] <Hammerjak> ok jochar, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start'
[04:17] <Hammerjak> it's not running
[04:17] <waylandbill> anathematic, ssh -V
[04:17] <Scunizi> there you go!
[04:17] <sagredo> I updated to 8.10 and skype reports: "Problem with Audio Playback"; I tried reinstalling the program but it still returns the same error
[04:17] <jochar> Starting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -Y 1 -E -c 20 -X -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -C 4 -p 4500:4600 -x -P xxx.xx.xx.xx -R -u 1000 -b -A -S ,21 -B
[04:17] <jochar> should be there internal or external ip?
[04:18] <Hammerjak> not sure
[04:18] <Hammerjak> try connecting though
[04:18] <Hammerjak> ftp localhost
[04:19] <jochar> ftp: connect: Connection refused < on both internal and external and localhost
[04:19] <Hammerjak> hmm

[04:21] <jochar> so what now?
[04:21] <jochar> rebuild?
[04:21] <Hammerjak> did it show the same thing? pure-ftpd isn't running?
[04:21] <Hammerjak> we manually started it, so if it's not running now that means it died trying to start up
[04:21] <jochar> well if i use 'top' its not there
[04:21] <Hammerjak> it wouldn't be at the top though
[04:21] <Hammerjak> it's sitting idle
[04:21] <lvlefisto> nvm, i found out how

[04:29] <bruenig> jonkenny007: why do you hate duplicate songs to begin with, I mean aren't they different versions and recording of the songs, so wouldn't you want to have them all available?
[04:29] <bruenig> jonkenny007: I don't know anything about banshee, you can do this via script however if you want
[04:29] <sandGorgon> Brack101: umm... so I can have a GUI environment in debian with none of the extra packages ?
[04:29] <cd> some one could help me
[04:29] <Brack101> sandGorgon: yep
[04:29] <bruenig> sandGorgon: yes, you might also look at arch for what you are describing
[04:30] <jonkenny007> no.. i had two libraries.. and i merged them .. now i have exact copies of same files prob ~2000 of them in the library
[04:30] <jonkenny007> i need to clean it out
[04:30] <Brack101> sandGorgon: by default you get a really basic Gnome install
[04:30] <z0d14k> I am running an updated jaunty system, and the fonts are HUGE.  Any ideas what has changed and how I can change it back?
[04:30] <jonkenny007> bruenig: how do you do it through a script?
[04:30] <bruenig> jonkenny007: how is this arranged on the filesystem
[04:30] <hlm>  help: gnome-schedule instantly closes when attempting to open it
[04:30] <bruenig> jonkenny007: do they have the same filenames or are you talking about having same tags

[04:31] <jonkenny007> no exact same file name .. everything
[04:31] <jhonnyboy> can anyone help me with some sound issues?
[04:31] <sandGorgon> bruenig: i did.. its a bit too complicated to set up. i dont want to be doing a lot of things  - cos i have 10 computers or so to install
[04:31] <bruenig> jonkenny007: do the filenames have spaces in them
[04:31] <jonkenny007> some do..
[04:31] <jonkenny007> not all
[04:32] <Brack101> jhonnyboy: just ask
[04:32] <Brack101> don't ask to ask on IRC, people get pissy
[04:32] <jonkenny007> there are so many of them and so unorganized.. i just want to remove all duplicates (anyway possible) duplicates are exact copies

[04:34] <cishpix> anyone can help me about pdc server?
[04:34] <bruenig> jonkenny007: there are a few ways I can think of doing this, but unless you are a programmer you probably can't do it
[04:34] <hlm>  help: gnome-schedule instantly closes when attempting to open it
[04:35] <jhonnyboy> I'm trying to get sound out of all my speakers(6) i am only getting sound out of the front two and the subwoofer. Any ideas?
[04:35] <ryty> turn up the volume for the rear speakers?
[04:35] <jhonnyboy> ryty: all of them are up
[04:35] <jonkenny007> bruenig: i am not :(
[04:36] <bruenig> jonkenny007: I think the best way to do it is just to create a rolling md5sum array. So you just iterate through the files one by one, get the md5sum, see if that md5sum has already been gotten before, if it has delete the file, if it hasn't add the md5sum to the array, and move on to the next file
[04:36] <bruenig> this is sure to delete only pure duplicates
[04:36] <kansan> um, why does my server not respond to pings?  and should it (for nagios monitoring purposes)?  how can i make it do so?
[04:36] <LMJ> hi
[04:36] <ryty> jhonnyboy, install alsamixergui and double-check

[04:37] <jhonnyboy> ryty: working on that
[04:37] <woody86> is there any way to change the way the date is displayed on the default Ubuntu clock? Say from it's current display to "2009-02-19"
[04:37] <ryty> jhonnyboy, also be aware, a capture card or similar may be shown in alsamixergui
[04:38] <ryty> try from the command line "alsamixergui -c 1"
[04:39] <jhonnyboy> ryty: that gave me errors, im using the GUI now but it's a bit confusing.
[04:39] <jhonnyboy> ryty: everything is grey
[04:39] <ryty> if you double-click the volume control, it will give you a better interface
[04:39] <ryty> make sure to select the relevant card in the drop-down menu on the top
[04:40] <jhonnyboy> ryty: volume control is what i have been using, yes
[04:40] <jhonnyboy> all of the playback volumes are up

[04:52] <ryty> brian7888, you have a permissions problem
[04:53] <brian7888> how do I fix that?
[04:53] <ryty> brian7888, sudo usermod -a -G audio <yourusername>
[04:53] <ryty> try that
[04:54] <brian7888> do I add the <>
[04:54] <ryty> brian7888, no
[04:55] <jhonnyboy> ryty: only the front speakers output the sound
[04:55] <ryty> jhonnyboy, hrmm
[04:55] <ryty> jhonnyboy, have you updated lately?
[04:55] <jhonnyboy> ryty: updated the OS?
[04:55] <ryty> yah, the auto update things that pop up?
[04:55] <DJNomad> anyone know how to list things connected like a flashdrive other than the dm way
[04:55] <jhonnyboy> ryty: i updated/upgraded the day i installed it which was about 3 days ago lol
[04:56] <jhonnyboy> ryty: i did get-update
[04:56] <ryty> jhonnyboy, have you rebooted since then?
[04:56] <DJNomad> i seen a list earlier on the net
[04:56] <brian7888> nothing happens ryty when I type that command
[04:56] <jhonnyboy> ryty: yes, but i have a problem with that too
[04:56] <jhonnyboy> ryty: when i reboot my system freezes at the BIOS post screen
[04:56] <brian7888> sudo usermod -a -G audio <youruserna>
[04:56] <ryty> jhonnyboy, uhhhh, I'd recommend flashing your bios
[04:57] <ryty> brian7888, here, an easier line
[04:57] <jhonnyboy> ryty: but it works fine with Windows. When i reboot off of windows i have no problem, I'm dual booting.
[04:57] <brian7888> ok
[04:57] <ryty> (sans quotes) `sudo usermod -a -G audio $USER`
[04:58] <brian7888> it gives me a sytax error
[04:58] <brian7888> unexpected toke
[04:58] <brian7888> *token
[04:58] <Ishmael> toke?
[04:58] <Ishmael> :( got me excited

[04:59] <brian7888> ok...I entered my password
[04:59] <brian7888> but nothing happened
[04:59] <offensive_jerk> please commence
[04:59] <jhonnyboy> ryty: I'm dual booting Windows/Linux. When i reboot off of Windows the computer passes the POST test perfectly and boots into windows, but it's a different story with Ubuntu.
[04:59] <ryty> it did, just didn't say anything back which is a good thing
[05:00] <Nasra> darthanubis:...negative it keeps rebooting itself up...something must be wrong
[05:00] <ryty> brian7888, now try `cat /proc/meminfo > /dev/dsp`

[05:13] <ryty> jhonnyboy, seems to work pretty well for me :-)

[05:13] <jhonnyboy> ryty: I want surround sound too :D
[05:13] <jhonnyboy> lol

[05:13] <moeman> good idea
[05:14] <jhonnyboy> ryty: screenshots?
[05:14] <kazimir> Hey, can I get some help with an audio problem?
[05:14] <ryty> jhonnyboy, I don't see it helping
[05:14] <]Zeta[> list
[05:14] <jhonnyboy> ryty: under swithces, i dont have IEC958 selected
[05:14] <ryty> kazimir, they seem to be common
[05:14] <KevDog> When you run a command similar to sudo apt-get build-dep <package>, is there a way to find out what packages will be installed or contained in the dependency package?
[05:14] <ryty> is there a bug going with audio?
[05:14] <kazimir> What do you mean, ryty?
[05:15] <cd> still
[05:15] <ryty> kazimir, you're the third in like 10 minutes
[05:15] <kazimir> It's not a bug, really. I just can't get my USB headset to work.
[05:15] <brian7888> i posted into the pastebin
[05:15] <jhonnyboy> ryty: no im just a newcomer to the Linux OS
[05:15] <PocketLap> just upgraded to 8.10
[05:15] <brian7888> http://pastebin.com/m46e70a5a
[05:15] <jhonnyboy> ryty: no bug here
[05:15] <PocketLap> installed nvidia xconfig settings
[05:15] <PocketLap> ran sudo nvidia-xconfig
[05:15] <cd> what are you say
[05:15] <PocketLap> restarted x
[05:15] <ryty> brian7888, I asked for a dmesg, not a `mount`
[05:16] <PocketLap> and when i go into nvidias xconfig manager it still says x isnt setup
[05:16] <ryty> kazimir, which brand?
[05:16] <kazimir> Microsoft Lifechat.
[05:16] <jhonnyboy> ryty: Thanks for all your help
[05:16] <jhonnyboy> goodnight everyone
[05:16] <ryty> kazimir, you probably just need to install/enable the module
[05:16] <ryty> kazimir, lsusb and pastebin it

[05:19] <kazimir> PHP and JSP are programming languages, mmx_cq
[05:19] <mmx_cq> yes

[05:20] <cfedde> jsp is itself not a programming language.

[05:23] <lg29> Can anyone help me figure out why I can't edit a config file for vmware?  I found a thread here http://communities.vmware.com/thread/177321 that says I can add a few lines to the config file in /etc/vmware-server-console/ but when I say sudo gedit config there's a permissions error and i can't save?  i'm sure it's something obvious.. kind of a newbie here.  any help much appreciated :)
[05:23] <t35t0r> is there anythiing like mixmeister pro for linux that's "free" ?
[05:23] <brian7888> auto detect everything...and sound capture alsa advanced linux sound architecture
[05:23] <brian7888> no device under default mixer tasks
[05:23] <t35t0r> i've tried something called bpmdj ..it's too difficult to use
[05:23] <brian7888> *tracks
[05:24] <ryty> kazimir, try "sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio"
[05:24] <t35t0r> it's as if only the author can use that program
[05:24] <Scunizi> lg29: not sure how you'll do this but you probably need to stop the vmware service first before editing.
[05:24] <ryty> and see if it makes a difference
[05:24] <kazimir> Okay, I entered it. What not?
[05:24] <kazimir> now*
[05:24] <ryty> go to the sound manager and see if it's listed now
[05:24] <Spanglegluppet> hey guys, I'm on 8.10 and my sound has suddenly stopped working. it's not muted or any of the obvious things. any ideas?
[05:25] <kriyas> how to install adobe reader in ubuntu
[05:25] <_VIM_> !medibuntu | kriyas
[05:25] <ryty> kriyas, don't? use Document viewer

[05:25] <bruenig> kriyas: don't install that bloat
[05:25] <bruenig> ryty: protip, called evince
[05:25] <kazimir> No, it's not listed. "Intel", "default", and "PulseAudio" are listed
[05:25] <brian7888> where is soundmanager?
[05:26] <lg29> Scunizi: hmm, that's helpful.  well, there's two virtual machines i access on a server at work.  I was thinking that the config file in /etc/vmware-server-console was just my config file for my own console on my laptop.  i'm doing data entry and life would be sweet if the arrow keys worked.  you think i need to shut down the remote virtual machines for this?  i could do that.
[05:26] <sebsebseb> !pdf
[05:26] <ryty> brian7888, that wasn't meant for you
[05:26] <brian7888> oh ok
[05:27] <Scunizi> lg29: the config is probalby on the remote servers.. you might need to edit those and then just restart vmware services on the remote server
[05:27] <TiZ> Hi. I have a strange bug in Firefox and Swiftfox, with the SVN Murrine engine. With the latest version installed, I have a white border around my address bar and search bar. It goes away if I mouse over it, but it comes back if I do, well, most anything. Can anyone help me fix this? I can upload a screenshot of the problem if necessary.
[05:27] <ryty> kazimir, I'm not sure which module your headset uses

[05:28] <cactusfrog> hey whats microsoft acsess
[05:28] <bruenig> TiZ: firefox is not exactly the most true to form gtk implementation
[05:28] <cactusfrog> acually it is
[05:28] <lg29> Scunizi:  ahh, ok.  Yeah, i had had a hunch that it might not have much to do with my local machine... seemed to easy to be true.  well, i'll ask our IT person to do it.  I was hoping to avoid pestering him :)  thanks for your help
[05:28] <cactusfrog> but what is microsoft acsess
[05:28] <bruenig> TiZ: or I should say, it doesn't implement gtk in a very sane way
[05:28] <cactusfrog> and what does it do
[05:28] <cactusfrog> i need to know
[05:28] <bruenig> TiZ: so you need to get another theme or hack the one you have
[05:28] <Scunizi> lg29: np :)
[05:28] <cactusfrog> ok
[05:28] <TiZ> bruenig: I know. But it's really weird. I seem to be like, the only person with this bug. There's like one other person, and he didn't get it solved.
[05:28] <ryty> kazimir, this you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=911843
[05:28] <ryty> ?
[05:29] <nickrud> cactusfrog, a database program, see ##windows for more
[05:29] <bruenig> TiZ: get another theme or hack
[05:29] <TiZ> cactusfrog: MS Access is a database program.
[05:29] <cactusfrog> whats that
[05:29] <kazimir> No, that's not me, ryty
[05:29] <ryty> http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Access
[05:29] <TiZ> bruenig: It happens with all murrine themes while the SVN version of Murrine is installed.
[05:29] <bruenig> TiZ: you know what's up
[05:30] <bruenig> TiZ: there is no magic command to get you ought of this, hack or move along to something else
[05:30] <cactusfrog> I am having truble preforming a dos attack

[05:30] <cactusfrog> I am on Ubuntu
[05:30] <kazimir> ryty: Same headset,though.
[05:31] <ryty> interesting
[05:31] <nickrud> cactusfrog, not a fit subject for here. only warning
[05:31] <cactusfrog> what do you mean
[05:31]  * nickrud gasps, no magic command? But this is linux!
[05:31] <TiZ> bruenig: Uh... huh? I'm not looking for a magic command. I'm looking for assistance, any knowledge whatsoever that might help me solve this, rather than ignoring it or rolling back to Intrepid's Murrine (I can't do that now, my theme uses a bunch of SVN stuff now).
[05:31] <brian7888> any thoughts now ryty?
[05:31] <ryty> brian7888, not right now, no

[05:32] <nickrud> !build-essential | suma
[05:32] <ryty> brian7888, I would say that for some reason your sound card isn't getting detected, OR, the module isn't being loaded
[05:32] <kazimir> ryty: Any other ideas?
[05:32] <ryty> kazimir, still looking
[05:32] <TiZ> This is Linux. It was to my understanding that we _fix_ problems here. ;)
[05:32] <kazimir> ryty: Alright
[05:32] <brian7888> my card is being detected...the diagnostics recognizes it.....
[05:32] <jakswa> any good fellows bored enough to point me to known linux documentaries, akin to Revolution OS?
[05:32] <brian7888> so how do I load my module?
[05:33] <ryty> brian7888, which chip is it for the audio?
[05:33] <bruenig> TiZ: hack the source
[05:33] <TiZ> bruenig: You're kidding, right? :|
[05:33] <ryty> kazimir, what does `cat /proc/asound/cards` show you?
[05:33] <nickrud> TiZ, bruenig is right. If svn is bad, hacking code is your only option unless you roll back
[05:33] <ryty> (in the pastebin please)
[05:33] <dyf> hello.. does openoffice writer support adding comments to documents? if yes, how do i bring them up?

[05:34] <cactusfrog> dont bother these people arn't helpful i switch to linux because i think they are going to be suportive but instead they say that DOS attacks are bad becasue they don't agree with there morals wtf just telll me thats the point of this isn;t it???
[05:34] <kazimir> ryty: It says no such file or directory.
[05:34] <cactusfrog> you forgot cd
[05:34] <cactusfrog> and the quotes
[05:34] <brian7888> nvm aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found...
[05:35] <kazimir> ryty: Oops, I misspelled it, hold on

[05:35] <ryty> nickrud, was that cactusfrog?
[05:35] <nickrud> ryty, yes
[05:35] <TiZ> Yeah.
[05:35] <ryty> yay
[05:35] <nickrud> told him one warning. But the troll is gone, so let's not feed the rest

[05:36]  * Scunizi tips his hat to a friendly nic in the channel.. nickrud :)
[05:36] <ryty> brian7888, what kind of chip is it?
[05:36] <ryty> brian7888, do an lspci and pastebin it
[05:36] <TiZ> Well, maybe Cimi would have more knowledge about this seriously remote problem. What's a good way to contact him?
[05:37] <kriyas> Any alternative to install adobe reader
[05:37] <ryty> kazimir, try opening the Volume Control by double-clicking on the little speaker next to the clock
[05:37] <ryty> select the lifechat from the drop-down, and make sure it's turned up?
[05:37] <brian7888> intel p45 chipset for asus p5q mobo
[05:37] <Scunizi> kriyas: medibuntu repo's will give you that.. if you really need it
[05:37] <bruenig> TiZ: your problem is clear, I mean even if one doesn't know what source changes need to be done, one can identify that your problem is a source problem
[05:38] <kazimir> ryty: I set the default device from there, but I still hear no sound.
[05:38] <ryty> kazimir, and the volume is turned up?
[05:38] <bruenig> TiZ: there is no way around that. If the source is bad either on ff end or your engine's end, you can't do anything but fix that
[05:38] <bruenig> or move to something else
[05:38] <kazimir> ryty: All the way.
[05:39] <kazimir> ryty: Keep in mind, I'
[05:39] <kazimir> ryty: I'm testing the sound by a youtube video, if that matters.
[05:39] <brian7888> ryty- intel p45 chipset for asus p5q mobo
[05:39] <kazimir> brian7888: I have the same motherboard on my desktop ^_^
[05:39] <ryty> kazimir, try a "cat /proc/meminfo > /dev/dsp1"
[05:40] <ryty> and listen to the headphones, anything?
[05:40] <TiZ> bruenig: What you're saying mostly makes sense. I don't mean to be adversarial, but Firefox is the most popular browser for Linux, and there are loads of murrine-svn themes on gnome-look. If it was a source problem, wouldn't it be more widespread? I'm not trying to be argumentative, it just doesn't make sense.
[05:40] <kazimir> ryty: Yes, I heard a sound./
[05:40] <brian7888> your audio not working kazimir?
[05:40] <ryty> good signs.
[05:41] <kazimir> Mmm
[05:41] <bruenig> TiZ: firefox is well known as having a hacked together gtk setup, it is not like other apps
[05:41] <brian7888> maybe p5q isnt supported by ubuntu or something
[05:41] <ryty> kazimir, go back to System->Preferences->Sound and change all of them to the Headset if you can find it in the drop downs
[05:41] <ryty> if not, what are your choices?
[05:41] <TiZ> bruenig: I'm well aware of that.
[05:42] <bruenig> TiZ: I have themes that work everywhere else except firefox's input boxes where for some reason the background is black and the letters are black. Everywhere else any other input in any other app is grey on black, but not firefox in what is seemingly an identical sort of thing
[05:42] <bruenig> TiZ: so it is more widespread, but what people do is they move along to other themes. You don't see bug reports on themes usually because the are millions of them
[05:42] <linxuz3r> what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back
[05:42] <kazimir> ryty: I see my headset, yes. Change everything to it?
[05:42] <ryty> kazimir, sure
[05:42] <ryty> kazimir, then, give it a shot
[05:42] <billybigrigger> how come i keep getting an error when i play games, x11 driver not configured with opengl
[05:42] <ryty> (careful with the volume, remember it's turned up)
[05:42] <billybigrigger> like wormux, foobillard
[05:43] <kazimir> ryty: No dice, bro.
[05:43] <billybigrigger> direct rendering is enabled, and im using the nvidia.com driver
[05:43] <ari_stre1s> guys, anyone using terminator?
[05:43] <ryty> kazimir, hrmm
[05:43] <brian7888> yea me too...ryty
[05:43] <kazimir> ryty: Should I completely restart Firefox, then try?
[05:43] <TiZ> bruenig: I don't imagine that people would file bug reports on themes. But if it was so simple as a source problem, everyone who wanted to make or use Murrine SVN themes would be bothering the hell out of Cimi, and he'd either fix it, or svn murrine wouldn't be used. That's the way I imagine it, anyways.
[05:43] <ryty> kazimir, his test to the right and see if it works?
[05:43] <linxuz3r> what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back
[05:44] <ryty> (under the System->Preferences->sound dialogue box)
[05:44] <kazimir> ryty: I can hear it from there fine, but nothing else produces sound.
[05:44] <bruenig> TiZ: it is a firefox source problem
[05:44] <bruenig> firefox is, shall we say, not standards complaint on gtk
[05:44] <bruenig> if that makes sense
[05:44] <nickrud> bruenig, TiZ you're straying a bit out of the #ubuntu topic, although it _is_ pretty slow.
[05:45] <TiZ> bruenig: I understand your point fully well. I think you understand mine, too. At this point, we're just back-and-forthing with no real constructiveness.  :P
[05:45] <ryty> brian7888, his is with usb audio, yours is with audio, period.
[05:46] <brian7888> ryty: oh ok, mine is digital coax out
[05:46] <linxuz3r> what is the method you call when you want to print a page back to back????????
[05:46] <kazimir> brian7888: I'm also not on the computer with that motherboard, I'm on my laptop
[05:46] <ryty> linxuz3r, double-sided?
[05:46] <brian7888> kazimir: oh ok
[05:47] <TiZ> Well, in any case, bruenig, thanks for trying. :) I'll go to gnome-look and see if anyone else using Murrine SVN has this problem.
[05:47] <nickrud> linxuz3r, duplex?
[05:47] <brian7888> ryty: should I just re-install ubuntu?
[05:47] <kazimir> ryty: Anythin'?
[05:48] <ryty> kazimir, yours I think has to do with a conflict
[05:48] <ryty> apps are still using your other sound card
[05:48] <kazimir> ryty: Whatcha mean?
[05:48] <kazimir> ryty: Hm..
[05:48] <B14CKH4T> exit
[05:48] <ryty> kazimir, trying to figure out how to change that...but make it convenient
[05:48] <kazimir> ryty: Well, the think is, this laptop has no audio. The speakers and sound chip are blown as far as I know
[05:49] <kazimir> ryty: thing*
[05:49] <kazimir> ryty: Which is why I'm using the USB headset.
[05:49] <ryty> kazimir, do an lsmod and pastebin it, we can test something
[05:49] <kazimir> ryty: As you wish
[05:50] <ryty> brian7888, go to your bios and confirm the onboard audio is turned on
[05:50] <ryty> if not, turn it on, if so, the search continues
[05:50] <brian7888> I did...its enabled....

[05:50] <racecar-56> help, it seems on ubuntu 8.10 my pc seems to freeze sometimes when its almost done shutting down when there is no orange left

[05:53] <DarkSotM> hey guys, quick question: How long should it take to format an external 320 gb hard drive to ext3?
[05:53] <ryty> kazimir, try going in to your bios and disabling the on-board audio controller, if it's bad anyways, it shouldn't hurt
[05:53] <kazimir> ryty: As you wish. I'll be back in 5.
[05:53] <ryty> DarkSotM, depends, what kind of drive and interface?
[05:53] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, depends on the rpm of the HDD and the speed of the computer
[05:54] <DarkSotM> wd 320 passport, usb 2.0
[05:54] <DarkSotM> 5400 rpm
[05:54] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, well, USB 2.0 will significantly slow down your speed
[05:54] <ryty> maybe 5-10 minutes?
[05:54] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, regardless, it shouldn't take too loing
[05:54] <ryty> DarkSotM, it's not going to take that long
[05:54] <DarkSotM> I started it last night and it's still going
[05:54] <ryty> that's fishy
[05:54] <racecar-56> i formatted a 1TB hard drive with ext3 and it took a LONG time on usb
[05:54] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, i agree
[05:55] <DarkSotM> brand new drive
[05:55] <brian7888> ryty: Any ideas??
[05:55] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, check your /var/log/syslog and see if you're getting any strange USB errors
[05:55] <ryty> DarkSotM, I'd retry, or have you already?
[05:55] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, that, or /var/log/messages
[05:55] <DarkSotM> have retryed
[05:55] <racecar-56> why does gparted take AGES to format stuff?
[05:55] <bond> poussy
[05:55]  * ryty is going to shutup, I'm tired of multitasking
[05:55] <bond> pussy
[05:55] <DarkSotM> I know usb 2 won't be as fast as say SATA but still...
[05:56] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, you could try going direct with mkfs.ext3
[05:56] <DarkSotM> I am
[05:56] <DarkSotM> mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sdb2
[05:56] <racecar-56> mkfs.ext3 is n00bish for me i waited a day and it aactually made a broken ext2 volume instead
[05:56] <ryty> DarkSotM, make sure the port is in USB 2.0 mode in your bios
[05:57] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, that, or you may be having power issues
[05:57] <DarkSotM> I backed my data off it and it was at usb 2 speeds
[05:57] <brian7888> help, my audio wont work on my Asus p5q onboard audio. Any ideas?
[05:57] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, many usb ports don't put out enough power
[05:57] <kazimir> ryty: No dice, man. I can't disable it from my BIOS
[05:57] <ryty> brian7888, I requested a long time ago that you do an lspci and pastebin it. Still waiting...
[05:57] <UIS|Notsick> How do I add a second E-mail account to Evolution Mail? I've done it before but I seem to have forgotten how now...
[05:58] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, this is why I prefer eSata...
[05:58] <DarkSotM> rdw200169: ya but it was on sale
[05:58] <ryty> DarkSotM, you can get an eSATA controller for cheap
[05:58] <brian7888> ryty: sorry missed that....http://pastebin.com/m79460e37
[05:59] <c0vert> is there any way to do a true install from within a wubi installation?
[05:59] <DarkSotM> I'll just let it go tonight and tommarow whall i'm at work and hope 40 hours is enough
[05:59] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, you could try again of a powered usb hub
[05:59] <sebsebseb> c0vert: I don't think so  and it's best you partition your hard disk
[05:59] <kazimir> ryty: Any other ideas?
[06:00] <c0vert> sebsebseb,  i can't find any blank media and i have the urge to install lol
[06:00] <ryty> kazimir, that was my last one. I'm still almost positive it's a conflict, but I'm not sure how to make the other card "go away"
[06:00] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, it really shouldn't take that long
[06:00] <sebsebseb> c0vert: I see
[06:00] <sebsebseb> !netboot
[06:00] <DarkSotM> Any idea how long it should take?
[06:00] <ryty> DarkSotM, 5-10 mins
[06:01] <DarkSotM> wow
[06:01] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, well, from IDE/SATA i've never seen it take more than 5-10
[06:01] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, just like ryty
[06:01] <sebsebseb> c0vert: check those links out
[06:01] <c0vert> sebsebseb,  will do
[06:01] <DarkSotM> Maybe I will try a powered usb hub
[06:01] <DarkSotM> I do have one here
[06:01] <kazimir> ryty: *sigh*
[06:02] <anathematic> how do I edit the sources for apt-get?
[06:02] <racecar-56> sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:02] <sebsebseb> !sources
[06:02] <sebsebseb> racecar-56: vim lol  noobs can't just use vim
[06:02] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, also, some USB cases are better than others... cheap cases = bad performance and crazy problems
[06:02] <sebsebseb> racecar-56: they need something like gedit instead
[06:02] <racecar-56> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:02] <waylandbill> It could take longer than 5 - 10 minutes if the drive is on usb especially usb 1.1
[06:02] <kazimir> Isn't it "gedit" not "vim", racecar-56
[06:02] <rdw200169> waylandbill, yeah, but not 24 hours
[06:03] <brian7888> ryty: aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found..
[06:03] <waylandbill> no.. not 24 hours.
[06:03] <ryty> brian7888, I'm seeing reports of people not having any problems. Try resetting your bios to "failsafe defaults" to see if that helps
[06:03] <sebsebseb> anathematic: command  racecare gave, but with gedit
[06:03] <sebsebseb> anathematic: or do it the graphical way
[06:03] <sebsebseb> !sources
[06:03] <PocketLap> dude
[06:03] <racecar-56> or nano
[06:03] <anathematic> mmm
[06:03] <PocketLap> im trying to install a Dell OEM copy of XP Pro on my Virtual machine on Ubunt
[06:03] <anathematic> where can I get a list of all the standard sources?
[06:03] <brian7888> ryty: I will give it a try
[06:03] <PocketLap> but it keeps crashing
[06:03] <sebsebseb> !apt

[06:04] <sebsebseb> !repo
[06:04] <ryty> I'll be back later brian7888 and kazimir
[06:04] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, ah, you got one of those hdd external glued together type things, huh
[06:04] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, instead of Case + HDD
[06:05] <sebsebseb> anathematic: try:  system  administration software sources
[06:05] <waylandbill> PocketLap, maybe an issue of the vm software.
[06:05] <anathematic> sebsebseb: ubuntu server
[06:05] <DarkSotM> yep
[06:06] <DarkSotM> rdw200169: wesern digital 320 gb my passport for $80
[06:06] <jesse> could someone help me get my RME soundcard working?
[06:06] <sebsebseb> !sound
[06:06] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, do you dual boot w/windows?
[06:07] <DarkSotM> Just at work, at home linux only
[06:07] <jesse> when i double click on the volume control i get 'no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found
[06:07] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, i was gonna ask if the drive worked ok *on the same port* in a different OS... that could help narrow it down
[06:07] <KevDog> ?
[06:07] <jesse> but i see my device under lspci
[06:07] <jesse> and the module
[06:07] <jesse> snd-hdsp
[06:08] <jesse> i've selected alsa in the sound prefs
[06:08] <DarkSotM> rdw200169: drive works perfect on windows and linux, I just don't like fat32
[06:08] <sebsebseb> jesse: well there are other ones you can try pulseaudio and such
[06:08] <racecar-56> i dont like fatxx either
[06:08] <rdw200169> DarkSotM, yeah.... fat32 is garbage...
[06:08] <sebsebseb> Windows  can read and write to Ext3, with a driver, but  that would be like running root on / if it's the / partition
[06:09] <jesse> sebsebseb: my card is supposedly supported by alsa
[06:09] <sebsebseb> ,but can tell it which partition to do
[06:09] <DarkSotM> I tried puting the knoppix DVD image on it without thinking of the filesystem...
[06:09] <jesse> but i'll give it a shot
[06:09] <jesse> yeah i get gconfaudiosink failures when i try pulse
[06:09] <sebsebseb> jesse: yes it probably will work with Alsa
[06:10] <sebsebseb> jesse: what about OSS and stuff like that
[06:10] <jesse> sebsebseb: same error on all of em
[06:11] <sebsebseb> !alsa
[06:11] <DarkSotM> Well I got it pluged into a powered hub on a diffrent machine, and started again, hope it dosen't take as long
[06:11] <sebsebseb> jesse:  I am not sure, stick around, someone else may know
[06:11] <jesse> when i try aplay -l nothing shows up in the list
[06:11] <jesse> ok
[06:11] <DarkSotM> Anyone here try exFat yet?
[06:12] <sebsebseb> a file system?
[06:12] <sebsebseb> you mean Fat32?
[06:12] <DarkSotM> ya
[06:12] <DarkSotM> Fat64
[06:12] <sebsebseb> there is no exFat
[06:12] <sebsebseb> that's MS file systems
[06:12] <DarkSotM> I know
[06:12] <sebsebseb> better to use Linux file systems :)
[06:12] <arghh2d2> I'm using exFat right now
[06:12] <arghh2d2> exFat rocks!
[06:12] <DarkSotM> lol, yes I agree but I always like to try other things
[06:13] <arghh2d2> exFat is like the only the best ever
[06:13] <sebsebseb> exFat   I have never heard of that.  Fat32  Fat16 and that's about it for Fat
[06:13] <DarkSotM> I can't tell if your being sarcastic
[06:14] <sebsebseb> noobs use Fat in Linux
[06:14] <sebsebseb> espeasilly now
[06:14] <sebsebseb> with such stable NTFS driver
[06:14] <DarkSotM> Vista sp1 introduced exFat
[06:14] <sebsebseb> oh
[06:14] <racecar-56> orly?
[06:14] <DarkSotM> it was designed for flash media
[06:14] <anathematic> hi I'm having problems installing via apt-get as I keep getting failed to fetch url's, could someone point me in the right direction? http://pastie.org/394810
[06:14] <sebsebseb> ok that's why I don't know about extFat then
[06:14] <sebsebseb> anyway still
[06:14] <racecar-56> exfat is fat64
[06:14] <sebsebseb> noobs use MS file systems with Linux
[06:14] <tritium> !enter | sebsebseb
[06:14] <DarkSotM> not extfat it's exfat
[06:14] <sebsebseb> and if you want access to Windows on a dual boot, it can mount the NTFS partition no problem
[06:15] <sebsebseb> otherwise I can't see a reason to need  NTFS for Linux
[06:15] <sebsebseb> or any other MS file system
[06:15] <racecar-56> shoot thats enough with the non-open-source FS
[06:15] <DarkSotM> I don't care much for ntfs
[06:15] <sebsebseb> Linux file systems are better, and Ext4  will be an option in the next Ubuntu release
[06:15] <racecar-56> sebsebseb i agree
[06:15] <tritium> sebsebseb: this is not IM.  Please don't use the enter key so excessively.  It spams the channel.
[06:16] <DarkSotM> I tried ntfs on my external hard drive and it ran so slow copared to fat32 even
[06:16] <racecar-56> yeah
[06:16] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: that's odd considering that NTFS is meant to be quite a lot better than Fat32
[06:16] <DarkSotM> sebsebseb: not for me
[06:17] <saadi559595> my benq4300 scanner is not working?
[06:17] <saadi559595> not detected by xsane
[06:17] <DarkSotM> maybe cause I was watching it thinking "This is so slow I hat M$, ntfs sucks..." (-;
[06:17] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: well make your external hard drive Ext3 :)   and  get a driver for Windows, and there you go,  you can use a good file system on your External hard disk,  on Ubuntu and Windows
[06:17] <DarkSotM> fs-driver.com or somethin like that
[06:18] <sebsebseb> .org
[06:18] <sebsebseb> fs-driver.org
[06:18] <DarkSotM> ahhh
[06:18]  * kazimir sighs
[06:19] <DarkSotM> I made a 8 gb fat32 partion at the frount to hold my portableapps.com and the ext2 windows driver and the rest ext3 for the good stuff
[06:19] <gaojinjun> hi
[06:19] <racecar-56> warning: fs-driver.org has a driver that isnt compatible with 128+ bytes of inode
[06:19] <racecar-56> they will make one with 128+ bytes of inode supported one day...
[06:19] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: portable apps why
[06:19] <DarkSotM> I have to use windows at work
[06:20] <DarkSotM> All day long fixing windows computers
[06:20] <racecar-56> yeah
[06:20] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: so you bring a external to work hummm
[06:20] <racecar-56> windows is broken too much
[06:20] <jesse> so if i run find /lib/modules/'uname -r' | grep snd
[06:20] <jesse> something should come up right?
[06:20] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: get your company using Desktop Linux, oh right yeah you probably got some low status in that company, and so can't
[06:20] <saadi559595> i have problem with my scanner benq4300,can anyone help plz...xsane is not detecting it
[06:20] <racecar-56> e.g. person 1: How do I break windows? person 2: Don't do anything.
[06:20] <DarkSotM> I'm a computer tech in a small town
[06:21] <robertzaccour> i updated my system after installing 8.10 and when it restarted the wired internet would not connect
[06:21] <DarkSotM> cusomers bring in windows computers for me to fix
[06:21] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: home users mainly or?
[06:21] <DarkSotM> home users
[06:21] <shainp> Hello! I'm new to IRC. Can someone help me out?
[06:21] <sebsebseb> DarkSotM: this is off topic, but interesting so  let's take it to pm
[06:21] <DarkSotM> sure
[06:21] <KevDog> shainp: What do you want to know?
[06:21] <robertzaccour> i  could not figure it out, so i just installed 9.04 alpha 4
[06:21] <robertzaccour> and now it works fine
[06:21] <racecar-56> :>
[06:22] <KevDog> jesse: what are you tryingto find
[06:22] <jesse> KevDog: i'm trying to get my soundcard working - by way of the troubleshooting page on the ubuntu site
[06:23] <racecar-56> why isn't it working
[06:23] <jesse> racecar-56: because i just installed linux?
[06:23]  * jesse shrugs
[06:23] <racecar-56> k
[06:23] <c0vert> alsaconf ftw
[06:23] <racecar-56> well mine worked out of box and i got a realtek HD audio
[06:23] <woody86> is there any way to change the way the date is displayed on the default Ubuntu clock? Say from it's current display to "2009-02-19"
[06:23] <eepberries> Is there anyway to restart whatever controls sound? The problem I'm having is that sound is only going out of one input instead of two (which it usually does) and if I could restart the sound control without restarting my computer or logging out that would be fantastic.
[06:23] <jesse> it is supposedly alsa compatible
[06:23] <racecar-56> xorg restart?
[06:24] <jesse> racecar-56: i have an RME recording interface - it's on the alsa list
[06:24] <racecar-56> k
[06:24] <jesse> i see it under lspci
[06:24] <jesse> snd-hdsp
[06:24] <racecar-56> lspci and aplay ftw
[06:24] <jesse> aplay doesn't give me anything in it's list
[06:24] <eepberries> racecar-56: are you responding to me?
[06:25] <jesse> aplay -l is just empty
[06:25] <eepberries> kevdog: do you have multiple sound devices on your comuters?
[06:25] <eepberries> *computer
[06:26] <KevDog> I have no sound on my computers
[06:26] <racecar-56> when will vlc 0.9.8a packages come out?
[06:26] <eepberries> i'm talking about sound cards (onboard AND actual cardS)
[06:26] <KevDog> I'm low tech
[06:26] <eepberries> not whether sound is working or not
[06:26] <eepberries> if you have multiple sound devices on your computer, then the wrong one might be selected (this is the exact problem i ran into)
[06:27] <Sw3RvE> how do i make terminal transparent like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Xfce-4.4.png
[06:27] <jesse> racecar-56: whats the next troubleshooting step if lscpi returns good info - and aplay does not?
[06:27] <racecar-56> idk
[06:27] <eepberries> jesse: what's the problem you're having?
[06:28] <racecar-56> xorg restart?
[06:28] <jesse> eepberries: just installed ubuntu - trying to get my RME soundcard to work - shows up in lspci... nothing is in my aplay list
[06:28] <jesse> red light on the device (which is bad)
[06:28] <eepberries> okay
[06:28] <eepberries> well
[06:28] <eepberries> type alsamixer in the terminal and look at what soundcard shows up
[06:28] <eepberries> if it's something besides the sound card you want, then the wrong sound device is selected
[06:28] <jesse> no mixer elems found
[06:28] <shainp> Jesse, you've actually got a red LED lit up on the sound card?
[06:29] <jesse> shainp: it's a breakout box attached to a PCI card that has a red led
[06:29] <jesse> the led indicates "host error"
[06:29] <eepberries> jesse: oh, nevermind me then
[06:29] <shainp> OK.
[06:29] <jesse> eepberries: do i have an issue with my alsa install?
[06:30] <KevDog> any backtrak users here?
[06:30] <anathematic> what do I do with a .deb?
[06:31] <jesse> shainp: do you have any idea what i might try?
[06:31] <ewj1976> sudo dpkg -i some.deb
[06:31] <anathematic> ty
[06:31] <eepberries> jesse: i don't know. i don't know much about alsa, i was just checking to see if you were encountering the problem i had
[06:31] <eepberries> but probably not
[06:31] <jesse> gotcha
[06:31] <ewj1976> anathematic: np
[06:31] <jesse> yeah it seems like maybe alsa didn't get installed properly - but i have no clue
[06:32] <shainp> I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what the red LED signifies...
[06:32] <shainp> does speakertest give you any sounds?
[06:32] <jesse> nope - it gives me an error
[06:32] <Mr_Mackee> i just deleted my panel, like an idiot, any help on getting it back?
[06:32] <shainp> tried alsaconf?
[06:32] <jesse> shainp: alsaconf returns command not found
[06:32] <anathematic> mm
[06:33] <ewj1976> you mean main gnome panel?
[06:33] <eepberries> mr_mackee: settings > settings manager > panel
[06:33] <Mr_Mackee> yeah up top
[06:33] <anathematic> I'm trying to upgrade my version of ubuntu (7.04) and I'm getting a lot of 404 problems with apt-get
[06:33] <ewj1976> or run gnome-panel at alt-f2

[06:37] <ewj1976> TmTgr: look on gnome-look are google it.
[06:37] <Gnea> TmTgr: then look on the ubuntu package site :P
[06:37] <anathematic> scunizi_: I'd like to avoid upgrading if I could I guess, can I do it and maintain mysql / etc?
[06:37] <illumin8> TmTgr, search with GTK 2.0 as the type and name human theme on the site i posted
[06:38] <jiggles> hi guys... i few hours ago i had Ubuntu crash on me for the first time... i was wondering if someone could tell me how i can debug wtf the reason was
[06:38] <jiggles> syslog looks clean
[06:38] <ewj1976> TmTgr: look on gentoo-art.org
[06:38] <Finkle> does anyone know any good fserve scripts for ubuntu?
[06:38] <scunizi_> anathematic: I can have ubottu send you a link that describes how to upgrade to hardy.. you're repos look like you've got a mix of feisty and hardy listings.. if the upgrade doesn't work you'll have to reinstall Hardy and not format a seperate /home.
[06:39] <scunizi_> !upgrade | anathematic
[06:39] <TmTgr> ok maybe i will just boot an ubuntu cd and steal its  theme
[06:39] <TmTgr> that may work
[06:39] <jiggles> lemme lemme upgrade upgrade
[06:39] <anathematic> scunizi_: I'll have a read of that then thanks
[06:39] <saadi559595> how can i download driver for my benq 4300 scanner plz help
[06:39] <ewj1976> TmTgr: in that case go to packages.ubuntu.com. You can download it there. But there are human themes on gentoo-art.org too.
[06:39] <scunizi_> anathematic: np.. Hardy is LTS and supported for 3 years.. feisty was only supported for 18 mths
[06:40] <TmTgr> found it http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/human-theme
[06:41] <KevDog> hardy har har
[06:41] <anathematic> scunizi_: thanks this is the link I needed I'm off and running now
[06:41] <saadi559595> can anyone plz guide me with my scanner problem plz...its not running...benq4300 plz
[06:42] <sastha> why we shouldnt login as root always in Linux?
[06:42] <brian7888> help, So kernel 2.6.27-11 has sound issues. how do I revert to a pervious kernel?
[06:42] <jiggles> sastha, one reason is if you do something that might mess up the box as root -- it will do it lol
[06:42] <ewj1976> sastha: you can screw up file permissions, accidentally alter/delete files, etc.
[06:42] <jiggles> saadi559595, this might help you with the benq scanner http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:yxSru5q8r3cJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D264850+benq+4300+scanner+ubuntu&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us
[06:43] <jiggles> can anyone tell me how i should debug a crash?
[06:43] <Finkle> does anyone know any good fserve scripts for ubuntu?
[06:43] <jiggles> first crash in 1 year
[06:43] <sastha> jiggles:ok.Thanks
[06:43] <jiggles> box would ping and respond to ssh but nothing after inputting password
[06:43] <brian7888> HELP! So kernel 2.6.27-11 has sound issues. how do you revert to a previous kernel?
[06:44] <saadi559595> thanx jiggles
[06:44] <sastha> ewj1976: is is possible to create a user like a sub administer who can have lesser permissions like Admin?
[06:44] <scunizi_> sastha: yes
[06:44] <jiggles> brian7888, you can edit your menu.list file and set an old kernel
[06:44] <jiggles> brian7888, this might help you: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:Adc8mukknV8J:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D356636+ubuntu+revert+kernel&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us
[06:45] <sastha> scunizi_: But even the sub admin can take up the role of an admin with sudo rite? then wht s the use?
[06:45] <ewj1976> sastha: yes.
[06:45] <KevDog> brian7888: when you boot, hit escape and select another kernel
[06:45] <scunizi_> sastha: you can limit what the sub can do even with sudo
[06:46] <ewj1976> sastha: i'd read up on users and permissions.
[06:46] <jiggles> brian7888, kevdog is right, but the method i mentioned will allow you to comment out the new kernel or do something with it so you dont have it as the default when u boot
[06:46] <sastha> scunizi_:ok.that's great
[06:46] <saadi559595> hey jiggles this thing is not working ,and it requires windows cd...i dont have this
[06:47] <brian7888> thanks....will that fix my sound issue....because right now everything looks fine but I get no sound
[06:47] <KevDog> You edit the /boot/grum/menu.lst to select a default booting kernel
[06:47] <sastha> ewj1976: Users and permissions in Ubuntu docs? I m a newbie ewj1976.will it be easy for me to understand?
[06:47] <anathematic> "Please report this as a bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport."
[06:47] <anathematic> woohooo!
[06:47] <ewj1976> sastha: try reading http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/usersubuntu.shtml
[06:48] <anathematic> I wonder if I have time tonight to format my server
[06:48] <jiggles> saadi559595, i am not familiar with it, but you might want to try searching the ubuntuforums because it looks like there are a handful of threads specific to your model
[06:48] <KevDog> sastha: brief overview -- 3 abilities -- read/write/execute -- 3 broad groups - User, Group, Others  You can set permissions on Users and Groups
[06:49] <sastha> ewj1976: thanks for the help.One more question,as a begineer wht are things in need to learn?
[06:49] <sastha> KevDog: k.Thanks.very decent overview.

[06:55] <B14CKH4T> hi guys i need to install amns-0.95.1  in gutsy 7.4
[06:56] <B14CKH4T> how i need to do
[06:56] <sebsebseb> B14CKH4T: what program is that?  use apt-get or syaptic?
[06:56] <maxagaz> what's the difference between ldap and ldapi ?
[06:57] <sebsebseb> B14CKH4T: Gutsy was nice, but updates for Gutsy not much longer
[06:57] <ewj1976> sebsebseb: I'm not certain, but i bet its a version that's much newer and has dependency issues if you try to install it in gutsy.
[06:57] <sastha> which kernal is the best to work in Ubuntu?
[06:57] <sebsebseb> sastha: does not really matter that much
[06:57] <sebsebseb> sastha: ,but good idea to use the  latest from the repo
[06:58] <NFischer> sastha, the newest
[06:58] <sastha> sebsebseb: k.
[06:59] <sastha> NFischer: can v install or use the latest kernal in our envirn.Sorry i dnt have much knowledge abt this.
[06:59] <mereo> Is the 64 bit version any faster than the 32 bit version?
[07:00] <sebsebseb> !64bit
[07:00] <llragsll> anybody here can help me with openssh??
[07:00] <sebsebseb> !ssh
[07:00] <NFischer> sastha, what? if you do the regularly updates you should be fine..
[07:00] <llragsll> for chrooting
[07:00] <mereo> Because I'm running the 32 bit and firefox is slower than windows for my taste
[07:00] <llragsll> let me rephrase
[07:00] <KevDog_> MySecureShell -- very good chroot technique
[07:00] <sebsebseb> mereo: how much RAM?
[07:01] <mereo> 2 GB
[07:01] <sebsebseb> mereo: maybe you got a slow proccessor to
[07:01] <llragsll> I am trying to setup a chroot environ for openssh..with the in built chroot dir option
[07:01] <NFischer> sastha, besides that, if you dont have any issues you should not try to mingle around to much
[07:01] <llragsll> but I am getting a weird error....
[07:01] <mereo> sebsebseb, it's an athlon 5200+
[07:01] <sebsebseb> mereo: if your proccessor is 64bit,  go 64bit yes
[07:01] <sebsebseb> mereo: not sure if that is 64bit
[07:01] <kamran> hi
[07:02] <sastha> NFischer: k.for updation we have to use Package Manager rite?
[07:02] <mereo> sebsebseb, yeah it is
[07:02] <NFischer> sastha, go to system > Administration > Update Manager
[07:02] <sebsebseb> mereo:   put 64bit on then
[07:02] <llragsll> any one??:(...
[07:03] <sebsebseb> mereo: also  if you want  something more fast,  get something more light waight,  Xubuntu?  Puppy Linux?
[07:03] <sastha> NFischer: thanx.sorry if my question was silly.
[07:03] <llragsll> this is the error I get when i restart sshd Bad configuration option: ChrootDirectory
[07:03] <NFischer> sastha, you can use synaptic too, but Update manager is a little more user friendly
[07:03] <Daft_Punk> !ask | llragsll
[07:03] <KevDog_> http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmysecureshell.sourceforge.net%2Ffr%2Findex.html&hl=fr&ie=UTF8&sl=fr&tl=en
[07:03] <NFischer> sastha, np
[07:03] <KevDog_> Link to MySecureShell
[07:03] <llragsll> k
[07:04] <sastha> NFischer: one more question.Y the system always asks for admin password, whenever we perform any action.Is there any logging mechanism running?
[07:04] <llragsll> thx KevDog_
[07:05] <NFischer> sastha, thats part of ubuntus security philosophy
[07:05] <mereo> sebsebseb, the system is quite fast, it's just firefox seems slower than the windows version
[07:05] <delly> hi
[07:05] <NFischer> sastha, its to prevent others from altering your system
[07:06] <|HSO|SadiQ> I made another user on my system...how can I acces the music files I have in the first user's home dir??
[07:06] <sebsebseb> mereo: ok I understand
[07:06] <sastha> NFischer: NFischer,is it possible to see the log, by the root?
[07:06] <sebsebseb> mereo: yes  Firefox in Ubuntu is not even an offical version,  and it is not that fast really
[07:06] <IntuitiveNipple> mereo: Do you have firefox plugins installs? They can slow things down... you could try it in safe-mode to compare speeds... if there's a big difference you will know it is caused by one or more of the plugins
[07:06] <NFischer> sastha, system > Administration> system log
[07:06] <KevDog_> There is also rssh -- which is in the repositories -- however just my opinion not as full featured as the MSS
[07:06] <sebsebseb> mereo: try Konqueror for a faster browser
[07:07] <mereo> sebsebseb, do you think the version from mozilla.com will be faster?
[07:07] <sebsebseb> mereo: probably not by much, but Konqueror is much faster
[07:08] <sastha> NFischer: thnx.U r so helpful.any system restore functionality available in ubuntu?
[07:08] <KevDog_> Swiftfox -- enhancements built in!!
[07:08] <mereo> sebsebseb, hmm, but I have some extensions that I like to use
[07:08] <Vinceman> can anyone do me a big favour?
[07:08] <sebsebseb> mereo: in fact the Ubuntu version is meant to have Ubuntu specific improvements, so in some ways  Firefox from Mozilla may be worse, unless you get the latest 3.1  version . 3.1  has not been released just yet, but soon
[07:08] <Vinceman> can I send you an sms so you can send me my phone nr?
[07:08] <sebsebseb> mereo: yes  you have both :)
[07:09] <llragsll> Using chroot directory option in sshd conf file gives this error : Bad configuration option: ChrootDirectory ?? any solutions?
[07:09] <Vinceman> my life might depend on it
[07:09] <NFischer> sastha, you should use google a little too ... http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page
[07:09] <sebsebseb> mereo: also two other browsers that may be worth trying.   Galeon and  sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser
[07:09] <NFischer> Vinceman, whats the matter
[07:09] <mereo> yeah
[07:09] <sebsebseb> mereo: you can have loads of browsers in Ubuntu
[07:09] <mereo> sebsebseb, yeah
[07:09] <sebsebseb> mereo: there's also Opera  which is closed source
[07:09] <Vinceman> I don't know my new prepaid mobile phone nr
[07:09] <NFischer> lol
[07:09] <llragsll> I have already setup most of the options...this is the only place I am stuck
[07:09] <mereo> sebsebseb, forgot about opera
[07:09] <syockit> mereo: you can download the firefox and install as user (not as root), and run it, and see for yourself the difference. I think ubuntu-optimized is better
[07:10] <Vinceman> that's not so funny NFischer!
[07:10] <sebsebseb> mereo: and if you want really fast how about a text only browser such as Lynx and Links :d
[07:10] <bazhang> !ot > Vinceman
[07:10] <llragsll> chroot si available inbuilt with openssh
[07:10] <arghh2d2> mereo: dont listen to them, use Dillo
[07:10] <llragsll> I just want to enable tht
[07:10] <NFischer> Vinceman, it is... just look in your contract
[07:10] <sebsebseb> arghh2d2: dildo hummm why recommending dildo?
[07:10] <mereo> sebsebseb, lol! If I wanted to use lynx, I'll just use a terminal
[07:10] <mereo> arghh2d2, how's dilo? does it render everything?
[07:11] <arghh2d2> sebsebseb: cuz what i say goes mofo! dont question me
[07:11] <pajamian> Hey everyone, I'm trying to get intrepid onto an old compaq Evo N800v laptop, but I can't get it to boot to the CD drive, nor will it boot to the USB stick that I have a copy of intrepid on, and I can't even get the wubi installer to run off of the USB stick, so I'm stuck trying to find a way to get the install going.  Ideally I would like to boot to the CD drive or the usb stick and get a proper install rather than a wubi install.
[07:11] <arghh2d2> mereo: dillo is lightning fast
[07:11] <KevDog_> chroot is available with openssh now -- however its has poor functionality.  rssh/MySecureShell has enhancements
[07:11] <sebsebseb> mereo: yes lynx runs in the terminal
[07:11] <arghh2d2> mereo: but dillo doesnt use frames
[07:11] <felixsulla> Whats the best way to install Firefox 3.0 on Gutsy Gibbon?
[07:11] <sebsebseb> felixsulla: from  the repo or from Mozilla
[07:11] <mereo> sebsebseb, what I meant is that I'd rather use those old terminal computers than on my fast one
[07:12] <felixsulla> Any way to do it in synaptic?
[07:12] <KevDog_> Firefox 3.0 on GG -- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:12] <mereo> arghh2d2, so dilo is kind of a light weight browser? renders just what isneeded?
[07:12] <sebsebseb> felixsulla: Gutsy was a good release, in some ways it's better than Hardy and Ibex even, but Gutsy won't be suppourted for much longer with updates
[07:13] <syockit> mereo: dillo is a very primitive browser, it's like x version of links. good for simple browsing, but doesn't work with multimedia websites
[07:13] <IntuitiveNipple> llragsll: Isn't ChrootDirectory only for the internal SFTP sub-system?
[07:13] <felixsulla> So I should probably upgrade, eh?
[07:13] <racecar-56> gotta go
[07:13] <KevDog_> Feisty was better than Gutsy IMO
[07:13] <mereo> syockit, ah... well then, I don't think it will be that useful
[07:13] <KevDog_> And Fiesty is dead now too
[07:13] <sebsebseb> KevDog_: yeah Feisty was good to
[07:14] <sebsebseb> KevDog_: and Ubuntu hasn't  exactly got amazingly better since Gutsy
[07:14] <arghh2d2> mereo: yeah, dillo brings up pictures but doesnt bring up frames,  and it doesnt work well with secure connections, HOWEVER if all your doing is looking at docs or wiki's or pr0n or something then dillo is pimp
[07:14] <mereo> What I hate about ubuntu is that frigin PULSEAUDIO!
[07:14] <KevDog_> Im actually finding Ibex surprisingly better than Hardy
[07:14] <felixsulla> Ibex is the newest?
[07:15] <mereo> arghh2d2, lol, ok, I'll check it out
[07:15] <sebsebseb> KevDog_: why I don't notice much of a difference,  except  auto shut down after a minute, and how people can make there own USB Flash  stick for Ubuntu
[07:15] <sebsebseb> mereo: Konqueror is very good and my browser of choice after Firefox
[07:15] <KevDog_> In both Hardy and Ibex, a lot of changes were put into the base kernel that screwed a lot of things up particualy for vid/wireless cards -- kinks are definitely been smoothed out though
[07:15] <sebsebseb> mereo: then it's Galeon and  then Epiphany
[07:15] <brian7888> Can anybody help my trouble shout my sound?
[07:15] <mereo> sebsebseb, isn't galeon dead?
[07:16] <sebsebseb> mereo:  not that I know of
[07:16] <KevDog_> Hardy -- what a joke to call this a LTS -- so many new drivers introduced into that kernel -- bad mistake
[07:16] <mereo> sebsebseb, because their last news announcement was from 2006
[07:16] <sebsebseb> mereo: maybe it is a bit dead then, but still a good browser
[07:17] <tzolkin> Hello everyone, does anybody know the XUbuntu IRC's address?
[07:17] <KevDog_> I looking forward to Jaunty however
[07:17] <mereo> sebsebseb, well, I hope I'll get a good browser... because Ubuntu is growing on me
[07:17] <sebsebseb> mereo: same rendering engine as Firefox to view pages Gecko,  where as  Konq uses KTHML.  and Safari and Google Chrome use Webkit which is based on KTHML
[07:17] <arghh2d2> tzolkin: #xubuntu?
[07:17] <b3z3rk3r> anybody here having issues with skype not being able to grab audio if vlc is running? Cant seem to solve it. :(
[07:17] <sebsebseb> mereo: well Chrome will eventaully be ported to Mac and Linux
[07:18] <tzolkin> yes
[07:18] <mereo> sebsebseb, yeah, I'll be waiting for chrome... patiently...
[07:18] <sebsebseb> mereo: you can run it in Wine or Codeweavers thiney for it, but if you do that,  hummmm  since it will be saying to sites your running it on Windows unless...
[07:19] <sebsebseb> mereo: same thing for K-Melon now that's a nice fast customizable Windows browser that uses Gecko
[07:19] <mereo> sebsebseb, yeah, on my old computer I was using k-meleon, it was MUCH faster
[07:20] <sebsebseb> mereo:  I don't think it's the best idea to run Windows browsers in Wine and then help to contribute to Windows's browser market share
[07:20] <sebsebseb> mereo: well  should be able to change the user agent string to Linux :D
[07:20] <b3z3rk3r> KevDog_, when's jaunty due?
[07:20] <sebsebseb> mereo:  it runs rather nicely in Wine
[07:20] <mereo> sebsebseb, that's why I'm hoping the next firefox 3.1 will be optimized iin linux
[07:20] <sebsebseb> mereo:  I guess change Windows in the user agent string to,  Wine or Linux yeah :D
[07:20] <sebsebseb> mereo:  you can get the latest 3.1 from their FTP
[07:20] <trupheenix> i have a situation. my samba directory and subdirectories are filled with .exes which have been copied from a WINDOZE host. I want to delete all these files. There are too many files which have been created. Is there a simple command which can do this?
[07:20] <mereo> sebsebseb, yeah :p
[07:21] <mereo> sebsebseb, ooh, nice
[07:21] <diablo> hi guys !
[07:21] <syockit> mereo: right now, jaunty's firefox-3.1 is still unstable, but I think that's because firefox 3.1 itself is unstable
[07:21] <diablo> is where a way to set up a root acces on kubuntu ?
[07:21] <stopie> Is it normal for a minimal install of ubuntu to get get stuck at 2% on "Select and Install Software" -- it just says "Please Wait"
[07:21] <trupheenix> i have a situation. my samba directory and subdirectories are filled with .exes which have been copied from a WINDOZE host. I want to delete all these files. There are too many files which have been created. Is there a simple command which can do this?
[07:22] <mereo> syockit, do you use it?
[07:22] <KevDog_> 9.04 -- So hence April but not sure of release date
[07:22] <sebsebseb> syockit: Firefox 3.1  is very nearly ready to be released.  and  even the alphas for Firefox seem to run pretty damn well
[07:23] <mereo> sebsebseb, sooo... it's stable for you?
[07:23] <sebsebseb> kevor: end of April it will be
[07:23] <syockit> mereo: I only wanted to try out the new features. went to acid3.acidtests.org, do some alt-tabbing, go to javascript benchmarks etc. But it always crashes on me. (the extensions can be at fault too)
[07:23] <sebsebseb> mereo: in Windows I would run alphas and such yes
[07:23] <sebsebseb> mereo: in  Ubuntu I just find it easier to use  Ubuntu's Firefox,  and other browsers
[07:23] <KevDog_> trupheenix: Something like (key word like) find <top of directory tree> -type f -name "*.exe" | xargs rm -rf
[07:23] <trupheenix> KevDog_: ok i have found all the files using find
[07:24] <trupheenix> KevDog_: now I'm looking for an easy command to delete them
[07:24] <mereo> sebsebseb, when is firefox 3.1 going to be released? I think I'll just be patient and wait for it
[07:24] <sebsebseb> mereo:  yes latest 3.1 will be rather stable
[07:24] <KevDog_> Pipe the find command into xargs
[07:24] <trupheenix> KevDog_: I tried rm -rf *.exe
[07:24] <sleepy_cat> any community for lib_soup
[07:24] <KevDog_> xargs rm -rf
[07:24] <sebsebseb> mereo: not sure when,  probably a release scheduled on Mozilla, but not much longer now
[07:24] <savvas> mereo: you have firefox-3.1 in jaunty (future 9.04 release)
[07:24] <trupheenix> ok
[07:25] <trupheenix> so it will be
[07:25] <SkyNetMaster> Hi, I want user to authenticate usen local Kerbos and LDAP servers, but only allow specif user, so I added AllowUsers to sshd_config file, but it denies access, any suggestions
[07:25] <savvas> mereo: it's beta, but it's that one :)
[07:25] <mereo> sebsebseb, k, thanks
[07:25] <trupheenix> KevDog_: it will be find -name *.exe | xargs rm -rf
[07:25] <sebsebseb> savvas: is Jaunty Beta yet?
[07:25] <mereo> sebsebseb, can't wait
[07:25] <stopie>  Is it normal for a minimal install of ubuntu to get get stuck at 2% on "Select and Install Software" -- it just says "Please Wait"
[07:25] <mereo> sebsebseb, gotta go, thanks for the help
[07:25] <KevDog_> any mixmaster users here?
[07:25] <sebsebseb> mereo: ok no problem
[07:26] <syockit> stopie: it sometimes happen to me too. I had to start all over again when that happens
[07:26] <KevDog_> trupheenix: Yea that should work -- Might need to be "*.exe"  if there are files with spaces
[07:27] <stopie> syockit: would you recommend a mirror to use? the defualt us.ubuntu.... is hella slow
[07:28] <KevDog_> And its also something like find . -name *.exe | xargs rm -rf   Note the . tells to start in current directory and look in subdirectories.  If you wanted to start at very top it would be /
[07:28] <savvas> sebsebseb: no, but you could try booting from the live cd and see if everything is in place, www.ubuntu.com/testing
[07:28] <sebsebseb> savvas: I learnt my lesson with Gutsy don't get before beta
[07:29] <syockit> stopie: uh, I use japan mirror because I'm in japan.... us.ubuntu will look for the optimal server for you, but you can set the mirror manually.
[07:29] <c_webkit> wow KevDog_ feel sad for u .. trupheenix didnt even say thanks to you :-)
[07:29] <B10S> can i boot ubuntu from another machine with PXE over my LAN or even WAN, via SSH maybe?
[07:30] <sebsebseb> !netboot
[07:30] <savvas> sebsebseb: I said live cd, where nothing will change your hard drive, just check your video/audio, do some application testing before it gets stable, so developers have a chance to fix them earlier
[07:30] <sebsebseb> savvas: Live CD LOL  I am not that newbie,  so yes  virtual machine :D  if  I was to
[07:30] <Chux> greetings
[07:30] <Weeltin> hello.. how can i make sure that when i compile and install "net-snmp" on my server, that i dont get this error: "cannot find -lperl"
[07:31] <B10S> ?
[07:31] <KevDog> Chux: As in BigBrown?
[07:31] <savvas> sebsebseb: that won't solve YOUR real machine problems if.. say a kernel sound module is broken
[07:32] <sebsebseb> savvas: true, since it will use  the host for some stuff.  anyway I been with Ubuntu since the second release.  and Fedora Core 2 and 4 before that.  Live CD's later on Knoppix, Gnoppix, Morphix that kind of thing.  Live CD's after just installing FC2
[07:32] <saadi559595> wat are the shortcut keys of copy ,paste,cut in ubuntu?
[07:33] <Chux> I've just been using VMware Workstation 6.5.1 on a Vista 32-bit host to modify a version of Ubuntu 8.10, using Remastersys to create my final copy. However, during this process I have inadvertently deleted some items I didn't want to delete. For instanced, when I type in "ls" it just gives me normal ls. Instead of the system default "ls --color=auto". Is there any way to recreate this system default/alias again?
[07:33] <syockit> saadi559595: it's usually ctrl-c, ctrl-v, and ctrl-x. But certain applications may have different shortcuts.
[07:33] <Chux> KevDog: BigBrown?
[07:33] <sebsebseb> Chux:  VMware hummmmmmm  Virtualbox  :D  and  KVM is meant to be good  if your computer can handle hardware virtulization
[07:33] <Chux> KVM?
[07:33] <sebsebseb> Kernel Virtual Machine
[07:33] <sandGorgon> if i am installing lxde from ubuntu-minimal, what should I install as login manager ?
[07:34] <Chux> ah, okay
[07:34] <Chux> I have inadvertently deleted some items I didn't want to delete. For instanced, when I type in "ls" it just gives me normal ls. Instead of the system default "ls --color=auto". Is there any way to recreate this system default/alias?
[07:34] <B10S> can i boot ubuntu from another machine with PXE over my LAN or even WAN, via SSH maybe?
[07:34] <saadi559595> syockit: wat will be in pidgin
[07:35] <sebsebseb> B1OS  netboot sure
[07:35] <sebsebseb> !netboot
[07:35] <syockit> saadi559595: i don't use pidgin, sorry can't be of any help
[07:35] <Sa[i]nT> How do I open up a port so I can stream video off my machine?
[07:36] <B10S> sebsebseb, to turn it on? not install...?
[07:36] <sebsebseb> B1OS:  I can't help not done netboot before,  was told about it etc though
[07:36] <sebsebseb> B1OS:  plus I am about to go anyway
[07:36] <B10S> ok
[07:37] <syockit> saadi559595: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/shortcuts has a list of default ones. You can also make your own shortcut, it's on the user guide on that site
[07:37] <Chux> I'm using a modified version of Ubuntu 8.10. I have inadvertently deleted some items I didn't want to delete. For instanced, when I type in "ls" it just gives me normal ls. Instead of the system default "ls --color=auto". Is there any way to recreate this system default/alias?
[07:37] <sebsebseb> B1OS: oh turn it on yeah
[07:37] <sebsebseb> B1OS:  your BIOS should have a setting for it I think
[07:37] <B10S> :)
[07:38] <sebsebseb> B1OS:  yeah I think that's what the guy said.  you turn it on in BIOS.  and it boots from netboot
[07:38] <B10S> sebsebseb, need other software though, right?
[07:38] <sebsebseb> B1OS:  yeah there's a program,  you get from Ubuntu site, which is the kernel
[07:39] <sebsebseb> B1OS: and you netboot that over or something
[07:39] <B10S> sebsebseb, i'll check it out
[07:40] <sebsebseb> B1OS: well good luck and bye
[07:41] <NFischer> Sa[i]nT, it depends on your network topology
[07:41] <B10S> bye
[07:41] <DJNomad> anyone know what format a cellular phone uses usually
[07:42] <DJNomad> I am having trouble mounting a card and i am to the part where i gotta make it to another format
[07:42] <DJNomad> or something
[07:42] <B10S> Sa[i]nT, can be done from your router too
[07:42] <DJNomad> sudo mount /dev/sdd /media/usbdisk -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[07:43] <cd_> still this problem
[07:43] <Sa[i]nT> Should I use iptables?
[07:43] <DJNomad> theres how i do it if its fat16 but that dont work
[07:45] <Sa[i]nT> Is there a GUI for iptables yet?

[07:48] <fudgeed> can someone help me recover a corrupted hdd (windows partitions) with ubuntu live ?
[07:50] <fudgeed> it is now showing as an empty HDD , flag lba
[07:51] <Seveas> good moaning!
[07:51] <fudgeed> moaning moaning
[07:52] <mlissner> I have a script I'm trying to run as root, but it's not working. Anybody have any ideas on things like that?
[07:52] <Seveas> fudgeed, if you mount it as fat/ntfs (whichever is appropriate, no files apppear?
[07:52] <Seveas> mlissner, define 'not working'. Also, if the scrippt is small & simple, pastebin it
[07:53] <mlissner> The script is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/120480/
[07:53] <B10S> do you lose your data when you upgrade?
[07:54] <Seveas> B10S, only if you scre it up and have to reinstall =)
[07:54] <mlissner> It needs to run as root, so I put it in /etc/init.d, and got it to start at boot, but it doesn't do anything.
[07:54] <fudgeed> Seveas, its showing up as unalocated
[07:54] <mlissner> It should be switching files around based on my wireless connection.
[07:54] <B10S> Seveas, i'll try now to screw up then :D
[07:55] <carpii__> mlissner, so log to a file instead of discarding all the useful error messages
[07:55] <Seveas> mlissner, I'd do such a thing in /etc/network/if-up.d, so it gets run every time a network connection is up.
[07:55] <Mr_Mackee> whats the best way to convert xvid and burn them as DVD?
[07:55] <Seveas> so no need to loop :)
[07:55] <Seveas> B10S, I assume you mean 'not' instead of 'now' :)
[07:56] <mlissner> Saveas, that sounds brilliant. How would one do that?
[07:56] <mlissner> Carpii, is there a way to log scripts that are started by init?
[07:56] <B10S> Seveas, oh, indeed lol
[07:56] <fudgeed> Seveas, i tried to install to ubuntu to the c: drive ,deleted that partition and my cd was corrupted too
[07:57] <Seveas> mlissner, look at the examples in there. I beleive there's even a hook that gives you the ssid as well, so no need to grep :)
[07:58] <Seveas> fudgeed, ah, hmm... I *think* some manual partition table tinkering might give you your partition back, but that's far beyond what I know how to do I'm afraid.
[07:58] <mlissner> Seveas, so are these all scripts that are run whenever a network connection is made?
[07:59] <Seveas> mlissner, yes
[07:59] <mlissner> Seveas, also, I'm not seeing any hooks...maybe I don't know what I'm looking for?
[07:59] <fudgeed> Seveas , ok
[08:00] <Seveas> mlissner, ignore the comment about hooks. I was wrong.
[08:01] <mlissner> Seveas, this is a break through.
[08:01] <mlissner> Major.
[08:01] <mlissner> Can those be run as root though? I want to edit /etc/hosts, or accomplish the same.
[08:01] <Seveas> mlissner, they are always run as root
[08:01] <luciash> hi everybody
[08:02] <mlissner> Fabulous
[08:02] <luciash> where is/are the gdm/kdm sessions config file(s) located ,
[08:02] <mlissner> Hi
[08:02] <luciash> ?
[08:02] <Seveas> mlissner, if you google for ifupdown, you should be able to find some documentation. These scripts have access to some useful environment variables to help you detect where you are
[08:02] <luciash> i need to change starting enlightenment with -evil parameter to -good ;)
[08:03] <Seveas> luciash, I believe those can be found in /etc/xsession.d oslt
[08:03] <Seveas> /etc/X11/Xsession.d
[08:05] <Seveas> luciash, or /usr/share/xsessions
[08:05] <luciash> Seveas: thank you, the first i don't see it there
[08:05] <luciash> Seveas: i'll check the other one
[08:05] <dips0502> hey guys
[08:06] <Seveas> hello dips0502
[08:06] <Gegsite> hey
[08:06] <Seveas> hello
[08:06] <dips0502> trying to install 8.10 i386 ; however it doesnt recognize the sata drive i hv
[08:06] <luciash> Seveas: thanks a bunch, that's it :)
[08:06] <dips0502> need some suggestion
[08:07] <Seveas> dips0502, buy a new drive? :)
[08:07] <Seveas> dips0502, does the dmesg command on the live cd tell you anything about the sata drive (as in, does the kernel at least see it?)
[08:07] <dips0502> its not a new drive ...hv been using it for quite some time
[08:07] <zeltak> hi silly question from a guy trying to learn a bit of cli
[08:08] <zeltak> when i issue this for example:
[08:08] <zeltak> find /media/movt/ -name *.nfo -exec ls '{}' ';'
[08:08] <mlissner> seveas, I can't find anything on variables, but I just cut out the while loop in my script, and it seems to work.
[08:08] <Bikeguy> does anyone know when ubuntu starts writing to a new syslog?
[08:08] <zeltak> how can i add *jpg as well
[08:08] <mlissner> could be more elegant though.
[08:08] <Seveas> mlissner, ok then :)
[08:09] <Gegsite> you know the nvidia problem.... is there a link for solution?
[08:09] <mlissner> Seveas, this is most excellent. Thanks for your insight. I spent way too much time trying to figure this out myself.
[08:09] <Seveas> Bikeguy, 04:02, logrotate is run from cron.daily which by default is run at that time. See /etc/crontab abd /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
[08:09] <dips0502>     4.444028] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[08:09] <dips0502> this is what i see from dmesg
[08:09] <dips0502> one of the lines
[08:09] <speedmaster> hey guys do you know how to set x-chat so that it doesn't use my login as identd?
[08:09] <Bikeguy> thanks Seveas, you aren't at all related to the Seveas package repos are you?
[08:09] <Seveas> zeltak,  find /media/movt/ -name '*.nfo' -o -name '*.jpg' -exec ls '{}' ';'
[08:10] <zeltak> k sweet thx Seveas
[08:10] <Seveas> Bikeguy, yes that's me. The repos are fairly dead though (have no hardy or intrepid)
[08:10] <Seveas> speedmaster, xchat -> network list -> pick your network and click edit/change
[08:10] <Bikeguy> regardless, thanks for that, I remember using those a while back :-)
[08:11] <Seveas> you're welcome :)
[08:11] <Gegsite> SO? nvidia 180.29 driver still not working....
[08:12] <Mr_Mackee> is tovid the best for xvid to dvd in intrepid?
[08:12] <mib_10glkn> hi, can I clear/wipe mbr from ubuntu live?
[08:13] <Seveas> mib_10glkn, yes. but that will make your system unbootable
[08:13] <syockit> mib_10glkn: if you know how to use dd, you can
[08:13] <mib_10glkn> is dd the only way to wipe it?
[08:13] <syockit> Seveas: still bootable from cd, no?
[08:13] <Seveas> (the command is: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourdiskhere bs=512 count=1)
[08:13] <Seveas> syockit, yes
[08:14] <Seveas> I should have said, 'it will make your disk unbootable'
[08:14] <dips0502> i think the kernel sees the sata drive, but the partition manager...doesnt see it
[08:15] <Seveas> dips0502, if you boot from the live cd and run this command: sudo fdisk -l
[08:15] <Seveas> dips0502, does the disk show up then?
[08:15] <locustmage> so ive read that there is no way to boot an ubuntu cd into the RAM of the computer without making your own live cd. Is that true?
[08:16] <dips0502> it says cannot open /dev/sda and cannot open /dev/sdb
[08:16] <zeltak> Seveas: the -o option just lists the last one (jpg) not both...anything else i can try?
[08:16] <dips0502> but both those sda and sdb are not my sata drive
[08:16] <Seveas> you could try 'man find' and learn how find works :)
[08:16] <dips0502> one is an parallel ata drive , the other is an external usb drive
[08:17] <kohwj> locustmage: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/booting-of-raw-iso-from-grublilo-though-preferably-grub-367901/
[08:17] <Seveas> zeltak, try this:  find /media/movt/ '(' -name '*.nfo' -o -name '*.jpg' ')' -exec ls '{}' ';'
[08:17] <locustmage> ill check that out thanks
[08:17] <zeltak> k thx
[08:18]  * Seveas off, back in 30

[08:23] <Gegsite> nvidia 180.29 driver install is OK, but the X cant use it...
[08:25] <TeslaTony> If I leave Exaile open too long, my sound dies, and alsa force-reload doesn't seem to do anything
[08:26] <speedmaster> Gegsite: i was trying to install that all last night and ended up reverting back to 180.22
[08:27] <dips0502> how can i check if the kernel recognizes my sata disk at boot time ?
[08:27] <Gegsite> yeah, I heard that you should delete something cos it makes conflict
[08:27] <Gegsite> dips0502, starting it with debug mode
[08:28] <ali1234> can anybody recommend a program that can show side by side diff on two binary files formatted as hex?
[08:28] <speedmaster> Gegsite: yeah, I was reading that in the nvidia x config that you should remove load type1 as that isn't in X any more which just led me to the no screens error when x tries to start
[08:29] <dips0502> gegsite...could u tell me how to start it in debug mode
[08:29] <Gegsite> I heard that some files or symlinks you must delete...
[08:30] <speedmaster> I did not really want to spend that much time on it, just ran the package again for 180.22 after I purged which didn't go well so I removed again and booted recovery kernel installed as root and booted normally and havent had any probs since
[08:32] <Gegsite> I know but it should be better to run a newer driver but ....
[08:32] <Gegsite> dips0502, when booting the linux in grub you edit the init line and write in the end the debug thats all
[08:33] <quocthao892000> 2222
[08:33] <speedmaster> I think it's an X problem rather than the driver - even using repositories and installing through synaptic was screwing it
[08:34] <TuTUXG> speedmaster, which kernel?
[08:35] <B10S> right, i want to boot (turn on NOT install) my ubuntu server via PXE (from another machine, windows probably). will bootp do this?
[08:35] <speedmaster> 2.6.27-11 generic
[08:35] <i00nsu> hi al
[08:36] <packetloss> can someone please take a good look at this partition table
[08:36] <dips0502> ok
[08:36] <packetloss> http://pastebin.com/m50576c2
[08:37] <packetloss> it's an SCSI RAID 1 drive's image on an IDE hard disk drive that i mounted under knoppix live distro. What i need real bad is mysql database file on this drive.
[08:40] <BenWah> hi
[08:40] <illumin8> Do you know which partition holds /var/lib/mysql/?
[08:40] <packetloss> no
[08:40] <illumin8> packetloss, do you know which partition holds /var/lib/mysql/
[08:40] <|HSO|SadiQ> how can I take a screenshot of my desktop if I have right clicked somewere (I want to show the right click menu I have and my desktop/application)
[08:41] <kohwj> |HSO|SadiQ: ksnapshot has a "delay" feature that you can use. just set the delay, click "new screenshot" and right-click whereever you want
[08:42] <illumin8> packetloss, try mounting the drives and searching for that folder string, thats where my sql stores most of them unless you selected a custom folder
[08:42] <|HSO|SadiQ> kohwj, any gnome only app(just in case)
[08:42] <packetloss> illumin8; i can mount/browse hda1 and hda3, but cant find any mysql fodlers or files
[08:42] <illumin8> packetloss, it would be specificly /var/lib/mysql/
[08:43] <kohwj> |HSO|SadiQ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gnome-screenshot_on_Ubuntu.png
[08:43] <packetloss> well, i found some backup scripts that points to /storage/mysqlfile.sql
[08:43] <packetloss> this storage folder resides
[08:43] <packetloss> on hda1
[08:44] <packetloss> but is empty
[08:44] <packetloss> i also cant access the rest of partitions
[08:44] <|HSO|SadiQ> ty kohwj ...I didn't find it coz I always used the PrintScreen key :P

[08:45] <Rev_Slid3r> hey folks .. anyway to reset the default display and resolution for xorg?
[08:45] <Rev_Slid3r> when I plugged it in it checked the display fine and resolution fine
[08:45] <B10S> right, i want to boot (turn on NOT install) my ubuntu server via PXE (from another machine, windows probably). will bootp do this?
[08:45] <Rev_Slid3r> then I started messing with it
[08:46] <Rev_Slid3r> anyway to wipe the session file and let it rescan/check?
[08:46] <illumin8> packetloss, check this link. but you will still need to locate the database backup assuming you made one http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch34_:_Basic_MySQL_Configuration#MySQL_Database_Restoration
[08:46] <Joshmuffin> ive done it before...
[08:47] <Joshmuffin> sudo xserver-x.org --reconfigure
[08:47] <Joshmuffin> i think
[08:47] <Joshmuffin> @Rev_Slid3r: sudo xserver-x.org --reconfigure
[08:47] <Rev_Slid3r> thanks ... trying now
[08:48] <packetloss> illumin i think the problem is the rest of partitions are extended partitions that were mounted under some folders, storage also i assume
[08:48] <Rev_Slid3r> nope
[08:48] <illumin8> very likley depending on the linux install method.
[08:48] <halycon> A lot of the time when I use a Save As Dialog box or an Open Dialog Box it will appear like this: http://members.shaw.ca/halycon/EO/openbox.jpg does anyone know how to fix it so that it always stays at a regular size instead of being all squished
[08:49] <Joshmuffin> @Rev_Slid3r: sorry thats all I got :(
[08:49] <packetloss> well is there a way i could mount these partitions ?
[08:49] <Joshmuffin> @Rev_Slid3r: have you tried forum? http://www.ubuntuforums.org
[08:49] <Rev_Slid3r> yeah
[08:49] <Joshmuffin> k
[08:49] <arooni> does ubuntu auto mount all drives automatically each time?  or do i have to explicitly mount them?  and if so, how can i make sure that they are always mounted? (intrepid)

[08:54] <ziroday> |HSO|SadiQ: you need to go into windows, export your bookmarks and then reimport them in ubuntu's firefox
[08:54] <werLd> Rev_Slid3r: is your xorg.conf empty?
[08:55] <ziroday> Stefano: it works over here, try clearing your firefox cache
[08:55] <werLd> packetloss: have you formated the partitions yet? do they have a filesystem on them?
[08:55] <werLd> packetloss: mkfs.ext3
[08:55] <Gegsite> re
[08:55] <Gegsite> YIIHAA
[08:55] <Gegsite> success
[08:55] <vancomycin> i uninstalled realplayer 11 ... can we install older versions on realpplayer in  8.10 ?
[08:55] <packetloss> mkfs.ext3; i won't loose any files =?
[08:56] <illumin8> werLd, hes running knoppix live.
[08:56] <Stefano> ziroday, thanks. Sorry, I cannot find Firefox cache...
[08:56] <packetloss> no problem about live, i can write fs to the drive
[08:57] <Gegsite> you must uninstall in synaptic (dpkg) the ubuntu's nvidia stuffs
[08:57] <ziroday> Stefano: In firefox Tools > Clear Cache > Tick Cache untick the rest > Click Ok
[08:57] <illumin8> packetloss, in terminal : mkdir /mnt/hdax              then        mount /dev/hdax /mnt/hdax      the files would then be under mnt/hdax where X is the hd#
[08:57] <Stefano> ziroday, thank you again!
[08:58] <packetloss> well yes, but i can't mount hda6; which fs ???
[08:58] <werLd> yeah packetloss, does hda6 have a fs created on it or did u just create a partition
[08:58] <Stefano> ziroday, same problem. I cannot ping it al all
[08:59] <ziroday> Stefano: and every other site works fine? Does it work on other computerS?
[08:59] <packetloss> werLD it's an SCSI RAID1 drive's image (northon ghost disk-to-disk)
[08:59] <packetloss> on an IDE hard drive
[08:59] <packetloss> mounted under knoppix live
[08:59] <Stefano> ziroday, I'm home now, don't have other computers but http://drupal.org/project/views works as well as everyone I've tested
[08:59] <werLd> packetloss: msg me the mount output and df -h output
[08:59] <Rev_Slid3r> hey sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only goes thru my keyboard settings then writes the file
[08:59] <Rev_Slid3r> ideas?
[09:00] <ziroday> Stefano: then I have no clue sorry, it works fine here.
[09:00] <Stefano> ziroday, also e-mail works fine
[09:00] <werLd> Rev_Slid3r: was your xorg.conf orginally empty?
[09:00] <Rev_Slid3r> no
[09:00] <packetloss> werLD hold on a sec
[09:00] <Stefano> ziroday, ok, thank you a lot anyway
[09:01] <Rev_Slid3r> werLd: but there is very little in it
[09:02] <werLd> Rev_Slid3r: i forgot what I used to populate mine when mine had little in it, one sec will try to find
[09:02] <packetloss> werLD; the df -h shows hda1 and hda5 mounted
[09:02] <packetloss> mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /somewhere says wrong FS
[09:04] <kennyyu> hi there. i've got a problem with samba: i shared 2 folders by the UI interface of Gnome in addition to another original share specified in smb.conf. So ``smbclient -L //localhost'' gives me these 3 items. just wondering where (in some plain text files) are the 2 sharing configuration stored?
[09:04] <Rev_Slid3r> werLd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  ... is that what you were thinking?
[09:04] <Rev_Slid3r> that does nothing
[09:05] <werLd> Rev_Slid3r: yeah i came across same issue, but somehow fixed mine
[09:05] <Joshmuffin> Does anyone know how to set xterm as default terminal (already installed | ubuntu 8.10)
[09:07] <illumin8> Rev_Slid3r, when you started editing your xorg file as you said earlier you saved it correct?
[09:07] <Rev_Slid3r> well
[09:07] <Rev_Slid3r> theres not much in it
[09:08] <illumin8> Rev_Slid3r, inside the xorg folder there should be a file with xorg.conf~ or xorg.~?
[09:08] <werLd> packetloss: maybe those arent ext3
[09:08] <Rev_Slid3r> id really like to just remove the session file or whatever and let it rescan
[09:08] <werLd> did you try ext2
[09:08] <packetloss> did
[09:08] <illumin8> the ~ would identify it as a pre edit file.
[09:08] <Rev_Slid3r> theres none of that
[09:08] <illumin8> hmm
[09:08] <illumin8> hang on ill check mine
[09:09] <illumin8> Rev_Slid3r, and you say you didnt make a backup?
[09:09] <werLd> packetloss: what will raid 1 do for you
[09:10] <packetloss> werLD i did a disk clone from a server with scsi raid1
[09:10] <werLd> its a single disk
[09:10] <illumin8> Rev_Slid3r, you can try this method
[09:11] <illumin8> Press Ctrl + Alt + F1
[09:11] <illumin8> Log in text mode
[09:11] <illumin8> do
[09:11] <illumin8>   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:11] <werLd> packetloss: id have to dig into raid, but it sounds like those partitions arent doing you much good
[09:11] <FloodBot1> illumin8: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:11] <Bakoor> hi
[09:11] <Rev_Slid3r> illumin8: Ive tried that
[09:11] <packetloss> werld what do you mean
[09:11] <kennyyu> hi there. i've got a problem with samba: i shared 2 folders by the UI interface of Gnome in addition to another original share specified in smb.conf. So ``smbclient -L //localhost'' gives me these 3 items. just wondering where (in some plain text files) are the 2 sharing configuration stored?
[09:11] <werLd> packetloss: I am not raid guru tho, but i have a feeling if you formated using mkfs.ext3 you would be able to mount them
[09:11] <illumin8> Rev_Slid3r, from text mode?
[09:11] <Rev_Slid3r> and tbh the font is WAY to fuggin huge to make that work
[09:11] <werLd> packetloss: did you try mount force option?
[09:12] <packetloss> no
[09:12] <packetloss> how do you that
[09:12] <SkyNetMaster> hi, anyone that can kerberos?
[09:12] <Rev_Slid3r> if I ctrl+alt+F1 ... the font is effin huge
[09:12] <werLd> packetloss: are you sure these are ext3 filesystems?
[09:12] <packetloss> no, absolutely not sure which f
[09:12] <packetloss> s
[09:12] <werLd> Rev_Slid3r: in your grub, use vga=791
[09:13] <werLd> packetloss: what are you trying to achieve? i mean, your running linux, and it looks like you have some of your partitions mounted, so the other ones are just sitting there, what are you afraid of losing ?
[09:13] <berkes> moved from KDE (after 10+ years of love) to give Gnome a 2nd chance. However. first annoyance to fix:
[09:13] <Rev_Slid3r> wheres my grub conf file?
[09:14] <berkes> howto get my desktop to show the " Desktop"  dir instead of /home/foo
[09:14] <geek_beek> hello ppl
[09:14] <illumin8> Rev_Slid3r, type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:14] <werLd> Rev_Slid3r: vga=791 may be old, but look at using frame buffer in grub, or look at vga= grub on google
[09:14] <crdlb> berkes: it should do so by default
[09:14] <packetloss> werLd there is a database full of documents somewhere on this drive
[09:15] <berkes> Cr
[09:15] <werLd> packetloss: but not on any of the partitions currently mounted?
[09:15] <packetloss> no
[09:15] <werLd> packetloss: do you know how to priv msg?
[09:15] <crdlb> berkes: it's controlled by a gconf key, /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir which is False by default
[09:16] <berkes> crdlb: it did, but some weirdness broke that. and then Gnome took my $HOME, want to reset that
[09:16] <werLd> packetloss: send me your fdisk results, along with df -h along with mount
[09:16] <Guest97827> my firefox profile manager appaers to have stopped working, I'm not offered a choice of profiles any more and launching firefox -profilemanager simply launches a new instance of firefox
[09:20] <heavy_> Hi, is there someone who could provide me help to speed up booting process. I <guess> my CD-drive is the cause for slow booting

[09:21] <ikonia> delly: I'm not aware of a command called "previes"
[09:21] <delly> which cammand we have used
[09:21] <heavy_> ikonia: before actually booting it takes a lot of time to initializing hardware and installing ubuntu from that drive was not possible (from dvd-drive it worked perfectly)
[09:22] <ikonia> heavy_: are you booting from a livecd
[09:22] <ikonia> heavy_: just to be clear
[09:22] <ikonia> delly: remove your .bash_history file in your home directory
[09:22] <heavy_> ikonia: no from hdd
[09:22] <delly> yes
[09:22] <heavy_> ikonia: live-cd is not possible with that cd-drive
[09:23] <delly> i wanna remove the terminal history
[09:23] <ikonia> delly: I've just told you how
[09:23] <geek_beek> if its not from live cd then booting has got nothin to do wit cd drive
[09:23] <delly> ok
[09:23] <B10S> i want to boot (turn on, NOT install) my ubuntu server via PXE (from another machine over the network or internet). will bootp do this or something else?
[09:23] <ikonia> delly: have you been doing things you should not have done and are trying to hide it ?
[09:23] <ikonia> B10S: pxe/bootp no poblem

[09:24] <ikonia> Leissi: how did you update them
[09:24] <heavy_> ikonia: just switched of printer, non-working scanner
[09:24] <ikonia> heavy_: can you unplug them - it could be trying to walk the cable

[09:25] <delly> i no body check my which i did used for any fuction

[09:26] <heavy_> ikonia: done
[09:26] <que45t> updated ubuntu 7 [ ubuntu 8 keeps hanging in the desktop when i try to install stuff ] and now it wont recognise my eth0 card
[09:26] <ikonia> Leissi: what tool are you using to set the resollution
[09:26] <B10S> you can even see the shell history when you ssh into it :)
[09:26] <ikonia> heavy_: reboot and try
[09:26] <Leissi> ikonia, clicking system-preferences-screen resolution
[09:26] <delly> ok
[09:26] <Leissi> also it shows screen refresh rate as 50Hz

[09:27] <bazhang> !lamp > delly
[09:27] <que45t> intel wireless on a centrino due t60 ibm laptop
[09:27] <ikonia> delly: install the package mysql-server, php5-mysql, libapache2-mod-php5
[09:28] <ikonia> Leissi: ughh, sounds like that driver has compatability issues with your card in it's current config
[09:28] <ikonia> Leissi: is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file quite empty
[09:28] <Leissi> D:
[09:28] <delly> ok
[09:28] <B10S> delly,  sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[09:28] <ikonia> !aptoncd > geek_beek
[09:28] <Leissi> ikonia, not really
[09:29] <ikonia> Leissi: can you pastebin it please
[09:29] <Leissi> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m39e328d1
[09:29] <ikonia> que45t: are you sure your wirless card is "eth0" can you please pastebin the output of ifconfig -a
[09:29] <ikonia> Leissi: thats good, it's very empty
[09:29] <ikonia> Leissi: means no conflict
[09:29] <Leissi> :o
[09:29] <brus_66> giorno
[09:30] <Leissi> well I installed ubuntu like 3 days ago, and haven't configured anything except desktop background and menu/taskbar position
[09:30] <Leissi> and resolution
[09:30] <bazhang> !it | brus_66
[09:30] <que45t> yeah gimme a few minutes
[09:30] <illumin8> Leissi, are you using the nvidia drivers?
[09:30] <ikonia> Leissi: if you look in /var/log at Xorg.0.log if you walk through it, do you see anything that says setting resolution, anything like that
[09:30] <ikonia> illumin8: yes, his xorg.conf shows it is
[09:31] <pop79> hello everyone!
[09:31] <illumin8> ikonia, Ah i didnt check :)
[09:31] <Leissi> um
[09:31] <heavy_> ikonia: same problem, took 4 minutes to initialize and less than one minute to actually boot
[09:31] <Leissi> where do I find that xorg.0.log?
[09:31] <ikonia> illumin8: no sweat, all looks good, using the dynamic info etc etc
[09:31] <ikonia> Leissi: in /var/log where I just said
[09:32] <pop79> anyone here have graphics problems that need help?
[09:32] <ikonia> heavy_: is this before you actually get the option to boot ubuntu, or after you have selected the option to boot ubuntu
[09:32] <ikonia> pop79: wait for some one to ask a question and respond to it
[09:32] <heavy_> ikonia: after choosing ubuntu in grub-menu
[09:32] <pop79> ok
[09:32] <Leissi> (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 1024
[09:33] <Leissi> I updated the drivers to 173.14.12 since it had "Recommended" on the list
[09:34] <ikonia> heavy_: for a test - can you select "recovery mode" from the grub option
[09:34] <ikonia> Leissi: yup nothing wrong with picking what ubuntu offers
[09:34] <Leissi> that's what I thought
[09:34] <ikonia> Leissi: I wonder if this is your monitor not offering up settings, rather than the driver not detecting them
[09:35] <Leissi> er, I dunno
[09:35] <Leissi> I was at 1600x1200 before updating :(
[09:35] <ikonia> Leissi: give me a moment to ponder this
[09:35] <Leissi> I know there are some specific drivers for this monitor for windows out there
[09:35] <que45t> the two options are irda0 and lo but i remember it being eth0 when it worked. in network tools it only sees lo
[09:35] <ikonia> Leissi: nah, linux doesn't work that way
[09:35] <Leissi> ok
[09:36] <ikonia> que45t: is the wirless card turned at the kill switch ?
[09:36] <que45t> yeah its on
[09:36] <ikonia> que45t: are you %100 certain
[09:36] <que45t> yep
[09:36] <ikonia> que45t: lspci and look for your network card in that
[09:37] <que45t> how cani tell which ones mine
[09:37] <que45t> hold on ill search for it
[09:37] <ikonia> Guest97827: look at the dectiptions
[09:37] <ikonia> que45t: look at the decriptiotns, thats all the kit in your laptop, so it's all yours
[09:38] <heavy_> ikonia: does take also about 4 minutes
[09:38] <nm> Hi here. I installed Jaunty on my laptop. Everything goes well (except some bugs with evolution) but I have no dhcp anymore. When I type "sudo dhclient", here is the result :
[09:38] <nm> http://pastebin.com/d58654ae
[09:39] <ikonia> !januty | nm
[09:39] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for that nm
[09:39] <ikonia> never mind bazhang typed it
[09:39] <heavy_> ikonia: getting messages like ata2: port is slow to respond
[09:39] <que45t> networkcontroller :ointelcorporationpr/wireless 3945abg network connection rev 02
[09:39] <ikonia> heavy_: really, that does look like your CD rom is causing an issue
[09:39] <ikonia> heavy_: can you unplug that
[09:39] <heavy_> ikonia: as i was guessing :)
[09:39] <ikonia> que45t: looks good
[09:40] <ikonia> heavy_: seems a good guess
[09:40] <que45t> so where doi go from there
[09:40] <labadmin> ikonia:u know the command to format a pendrive?
[09:40] <ikonia> Leissi: for a test - this is just a test, please change the line Driver "nvidia" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to Driver "nv" and restart your xserver check the resolution there
[09:40] <ikonia> labadmin: same as any other disk
[09:41] <ikonia> que45t: look in /var/log/sys.log for any reference to your card
[09:41] <labadmin> ikonia:and that wud be?
[09:41] <ikonia> labadmin: depends what you want to format it with (file system) - gparted is a fine tool
[09:42] <Leissi> how do I restart xserver check, ikonia?
[09:42] <nm> ikonia, bazhang : ok ;)
[09:42] <labadmin> ikonia:gparted?..hmm can i get it using synaptic?
[09:42] <heavy_> ikonia: is there anything I can do about it? :)
[09:42] <Leissi> oh like that
[09:43] <labadmin> ikonia:i m actually looking for formatting my pendrive using commands in terminal
[09:43] <que45t> its a long list i dont know whati should be looking for
[09:44] <illumin8> labadmin, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/
[09:45] <ikonia> lstarnes: what file system do you want ?
[09:45] <ikonia> heavy_: uplug the cd rom, buy a new one ?
[09:45] <ikonia> que45t: any reference to your network card
[09:46] <ikonia> que45t: a good trick is to remove /var/log/sys.log - reboot so you have a smaller cleaner log of your last startup/boot options
[09:46] <heavy_> ikonia: or buy a complete new PC? :) solving other problems too
[09:46] <que45t> all it keeps saying is good thinkslike that the device isfully supported using driver ipw3945
[09:46] <raevol> using miro in intrepid, my videos all flicker. have this same problem with VLC, is there a way to fix it?
[09:47] <bazhang> raevol, with or without compiz
[09:47] <que45t> i had thesame problem as you raevol so i downgraded
[09:47] <Rev_Slid3r> ok lads .. here is my predicament
[09:48] <raevol> with compiz, reading a forum topic on an xorg.conf fix that might do it? should i do that?
[09:48] <bazhang> raevol, what about turning off compiz
[09:48] <que45t> that worked forme
[09:48] <bazhang> raevol, fusion-icon to shut on and off quickly
[09:48] <heavy_> ikonia: thanks
[09:48] <raevol> yea, that fixes it
[09:48] <raevol> any way i can have it on and watch video?
[09:49] <Rev_Slid3r> I set up this ubuntu box ... plugged it into my tv .. it detected it perfect, I started messing with the resolution until I got it to 'invalid format' ...
[09:49] <Rev_Slid3r> now xorg.conf file has very little in it
[09:49] <Rev_Slid3r> nothing about resolution
[09:49] <Rev_Slid3r> if I bring it back into my office here ... it detects the monito adjusts accordingly and all is well
[09:49] <Leissi> hm
[09:49] <bazhang> raevol, not sure as I never use desktop effects, especially when watching a movie
[09:49] <Leissi> now I lost my desktop effects :(
[09:50] <Rev_Slid3r> if I take it back in to the TV, it keeps the crap resolution I accidently set
[09:50] <raevol> :[ ok i'll try this other fix
[09:50] <ikonia> Leissi: thats rigth you will
[09:50] <ikonia> Leissi: it was just a test to see if the resolution was picked up
[09:50] <Leissi> I want to have 'em ;_;
[09:50] <Leissi> yes
[09:50] <Leissi> it was
[09:50] <Rev_Slid3r> <-- talking to his self
[09:50] <Rev_Slid3r> lol
[09:50] <ikonia> Leissi: now we know the situation, change it back to nvidia and reboot
[09:50] <que45t> ikonia: 5 hours ago before my card stop[ed [activated eth0successful .. network manager:debug nm)dbu signial filter netowrkmanagerinfo triggeredupdate ofwirelessnetowkr'linksys
[09:50] <Leissi> but I kinda like the wobbly windows :P
[09:51] <que45t> then lo disabled privacy extensions
[09:51] <ikonia> Leissi: the nv driver does not support desktop effect
[09:51] <que45t> then it registeereda new mac addressrecord on eth0
[09:51] <ikonia> que45t: clean the log down, reboot and find the current situation
[09:53] <que45t> network manager debug nm hal device added () new device aded hal udi is '?irg/freedesktop/hal/devices
[09:54] <que45t> says something like that a couple times on current reboot
[09:54] <que45t> alot of times actually
[09:55] <sajuuk> hey guys i got an 8600gt and my ubuntu system is in low graphics mode, whats wrong with it?
[09:55] <raevol> the forum fix did it for me, adding a few things to the device section of my xorg.conf
[09:56] <raevol> thanks!

[09:57] <sajuuk> its a friends system
[09:57] <sajuuk> i have no idea
[09:57] <sajuuk> its not an ubuntu system but its very very similar
[09:57] <c0mp13371331337> sajuuk: what distro?
[09:57] <bazhang> sajuuk, what OS
[09:57] <sajuuk> ultramix
[09:57] <sajuuk> debian ultramix he says
[09:58] <pop79> sajuuk: go to nvidia.com and see if there is any linux drivers
[09:58] <bazhang> sajuuk, that is not supported in #ubuntu
[09:59] <kuex> I've got an issue.
[09:59] <ruediger> what size should I choose for /boot?
[09:59] <ikonia> ruediger: nothing more than 200 meg
[09:59] <pop79> kuex: whats wrong?
[09:59] <ikonia> ruediger: that's a big size for ubuntu
[09:59] <kuex> Wifi using WPA2 works for me on 8.04 LTS
[09:59] <kuex> it's broken in 8.10
[09:59] <ruediger> is 100 ok, too?
[09:59] <ikonia> ruediger: yeah, 12 meg would be "safe"
[09:59] <ikonia> Rev_Slid3r: so 100 meg is fine
[09:59] <ruediger> ok thx
[09:59] <kuex> It'll say that it's connecting, grabbing an IP for like 5 minutes, eventually disconnection.
[09:59] <m1m1> hey, anyone mastering rights management on linux ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/120524/
[10:00] <pop79> kuex: go to system - administration - update manager, and check for updates
[10:00] <Leissi> hm
[10:00] <kuex> yeah, it's fully up to date.
[10:00] <pop79> oh
[10:00] <Leissi> if it says nv in the .conf file my screen is recognized as 'samsung 18"', but with nvidia it's unknown :(
[10:00] <kuex> I've got an intel ABGN 4965 on this laptop.
[10:00] <pop79> kuex: who manufactured it?
[10:00] <ikonia> m1m1: just use the gui to set the permissions
[10:00] <pop79> oh
[10:00] <kuex> vaio CR220e
[10:00] <ikonia> Leissi: yes, the detection dosn't seem to be working
[10:00] <kuex> it'll connect to the router using WPA2 in the LTS
[10:01] <kuex> can't figure out why it's broken in the newer release.
[10:01] <pop79> kuex: ill poner a while......
[10:01] <kuex> It's a Belkin N1 router.
[10:01] <kuex> btw
[10:01] <ikonia> kuex: what is the card ?
[10:01] <Leissi> ikonia, any idea how to fix it? :(
[10:01] <kuex> will connect fine (if slowly) with encryption disabled.
[10:01] <ikonia> Leissi: well, one of the options is to hardcode the monitor options into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:02] <kuex> built in Intel AGN 4965?
[10:02] <kuex> it's not the specific card tho.
[10:02] <kuex> I tried connecting to the router with the built-in disabled.
[10:02] <kuex> using a different wifi adapter.
[10:02] <kuex> won't touch that router with WPA2 on
[10:02] <kuex> regardless of the actual wireless hardware.
[10:03] <Leissi> ikonia, how would one perform that then?
[10:03] <m1m1> ikonia: im on a server, through ssh access
[10:03] <m1m1> ikonia : no gui
[10:03] <ikonia> Leissi: try installing the package xresprobe and using the command ddcprobe
[10:03] <ikonia> m1m1: then get someone who understand permissions to set it up
[10:04] <werLd> did you use wpa_supplicant?
[10:04] <ikonia> m1m1: if you make mistakes - you'll leave your machine open to attack/exploit
[10:04] <werLd> i have wpa working over wireless
[10:04] <m1m1> ikonia: i do know that
[10:04] <kuex> WPA supplicant? if that's installed automatically with WICD?
[10:04] <ikonia> m1m1: cool.
[10:04] <kuex> I guess?
[10:04] <Leissi> open /dev/mem: Permission denied
[10:04] <Leissi> VESA BIOS Extensions not detected.
[10:04] <Leissi> D:
[10:04] <ikonia> Leissi: sudo
[10:05] <bazhang> kuex, you uninstalled networkmanager?
[10:05] <sajuuk> thx guys for that, despite it being a different system
[10:05] <kuex> it wouldn't work with the stock network manager.
[10:05] <kuex> so I tried it with WICD
[10:05] <kuex> same exact issue.
[10:05] <que45t> NetworkManager: <info>  Updating allowed wireless network lists.
[10:05] <bazhang> kuex, and what does ifconfig show
[10:05] <que45t>  Default authorization agent (:1.18, /org/bluez/auth) registered
[10:05] <pop79> kuex: go to System - Administration - Hardware drivers, and see if it is there, and if nessesry, update the drivers
[10:05] <Leissi> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m389f5598
[10:05] <que45t> Default passkey agent (:1.18, /org/bluez/passkey) registered
[10:05] <m1m1> ikonia: i dont make any mistake; ive put my ftpuser account (uid 1003) the one used by my ftp access into the www-data group.... and i allowed write access to group on my www-data:www-data owned files  ... but it dont work...
[10:05] <Leissi> does the edidfail mean anything?
[10:06] <kuex> it says no propriety drivers are installed on this system
