[16:54] <reya276> How can I get privilege to permanently mount an internal hard drive?
[16:54] <lasivian> sahil: patience, many of he rest of us have ongoing problems we have not solved either

[16:55] <jerr> Anyone able to get Realtek ALC889A  working in 8.10?
[16:55] <reya276> this is the line in my /etc/fstab UUID=f71cc15a-1c83-4198-9b2f-fd3a1a6c1acb /media/disk     ext2     0      0
[16:55] <sahil_> mount it
[16:56] <reya276> sahil_: I can't it says I have no privileges to do so
[16:56] <sahil_> use su
[16:56] <Nomexous> reya276: It doesn't look like you have the right number of columns
[16:56] <sahil_> to become root first
[16:56] <bazhang> sahil_, no
[16:56] <MegaJim> !fstab
[16:56] <Nomexous> reya276: You're missing an options column?
[16:56] <reya276> sahil_: I need this drive to be mounted as soon as I login
[16:56] <bazhang> !noroot | sahil_
[16:57] <MegaJim> in options you can specify which users are able to mount it
[16:57] <reya276> such as user,noauto,exec

[16:57] <jerr> Hello everyone, I am having trouble getting my sound to work. I am currently using Realtek ALC889A; which is onboard.  A fellow told me yesterday he had it working well. aplay -l Reconizes my sound, so does lspci.  Anyone have suggestions? Im fairly new to Linux btw.
[16:58] <lasivian> bazhang: thanks, that's good to know :)
[16:58] <weboide> Are those changes safe to accept: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/105610/ ? on a hardy server. Thanks.
[16:58] <c369> hey, im trying to use masquerading in order to give another pc internet via ethernet, this pc gets internet via wlan, dhcp. it worked yesterday after executing echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE. and after install dnsmasq and ipmasq. when rebooting this pc unfortunately i didnt have internet anymore, so i removed them again. but even after reinstalling them the masquerading does not work, there i
[16:58] <c369> s a connection between the two pcs, but no internet forwarding. any idea anyone? :)
[16:59] <c369> s/install/installing
[16:59] <petronela> hy
[16:59] <jerr> Any Ideas?
[17:00] <c369> jerr, stupid idea maybe, but did you check the alsamixer? maybe just something muted
[17:00] <sahil_> use a graphical tool look in synaptic ntfs-3g
[17:00] <jerr> c369 : I have everything turned up. Im using a USB headset.
[17:01] <sahil_> use it reya
[17:01] <jerr> c369: Someone told me they had theirs working yesterday
[17:01] <reya276> MegaJim: ok I added defaults to that missing column but I still can't access it, do I have reboot the system
[17:02] <reya276> sahil_: graphical interface, what? really
[17:02] <Nomexous> reya276: Try 'sudo mount -a'
[17:02] <sahil_> a graphical tool to mount
[17:02] <reya276> Nomexous: this is not a one time thing, I need this drive to automatically show and function on login
[17:02] <sahil_> look it in synaptic
[17:03] <roflcopter> Whenever I reboot, the sound is muted.  I have to go into alsamixer and turn up the volume for the 'Front' channel.
[17:03] <Nomexous> reya276: Yes, but if you just changed the fstab, then you'll need to mount it manually the first time. Next time you boot up, it should automatically mount.
[17:03] <roflcopter> is there any workround
[17:03] <Runpain2> How do i get ubuntu to reconize an external ide harddrive fromated to fat when i plug it in
[17:03] <roflcopter> reya276: edit /etc/fstab
[17:03] <catmando> hey all
[17:03] <catmando> i've got a very strange problem
[17:03] <c369> i should be able to ping a debian installer if the connection was setup correctly, right?
[17:03] <jerr> Anyone know where I can see what driver my sound is using?
[17:04] <reya276> Nomexous: oh I c
[17:04] <catmando> i've set up a dhcp/tftp-hpa server to allow me to do a PXE install
[17:04] <catmando> testing went fine
[17:04] <catmando> i.e. i can get files using tftp
[17:04] <reya276> Nomexous: this is the result mount: mount point /media/disk does not exist
[17:04] <catmando> but the syslog keeps saying that the client is searching for a file that doesn't exist
[17:04] <catmando> the file most definitely exists
[17:05] <catmando> i've even set 777 on it and its parent
[17:05] <Solver> catmando: tftp is often chrooted
[17:05] <catmando> it's running as root
[17:05] <Solver> catmando: so you need to take into account the path a the file is called
[17:05] <kgodwin> Anyone ever have their XRandR just disappear for no apparent reason?
[17:05] <Nomexous> reya276: Does the folder /media/disk exist? If not, sudo mkdir /media/disk
[17:05] <kiplantt> What does debuild -sa mean ?
[17:06] <catmando> it's set as an absolute path
[17:06] <Solver> some tftp servers (and hpa iirc) will chroot
[17:06] <Nomexous> reya276: Then sudo mount -a again
[17:06] <Solver> so /tftpboot/foo should be fetched as /foo
[17:06] <jsquared> so I've got a panel in Gnome with the fast-user-switch applet on it. if I switch the orientation of the panel so it's docked on either side of my screen, the icon is displayed in the wrong spot (you can try it yourself). any idea how to fix this?
[17:06] <catmando> dhcp.conf has it as an absolute path though...
[17:06] <Solver> and it's failing right?
[17:06] <reya276> Nomexous: well that is where the disk suppose to mount
[17:07] <catmando> Solver, yeah
[17:07] <Solver> can't hurt to try it assuming a chroot.  I have seen issues like that before where the path was a bit non-obvious
[17:07] <reya276> Nomexous: so before I change my fstab file I would mount it manually from nautilus and that is the path it would use /media/disk
[17:08] <Solver> if you use a tftp client would you fetch the file as /foo or /tftpboot/foo ?
[17:08] <Nomexous> reya276: So the folder exists and mount is giving you that error?
[17:08] <Solver> given that I have no idea about the real files involved :)
[17:08] <roflcopter> how do I change gnome-terminal to use white on black instead of black on white
[17:08] <darius__> morning folks - anyone have any experience with usb mouse stuttering?
[17:09] <kgodwin> Nope
[17:09] <Nomexous> reya276: I think if you mount it from Nautilus, it creates the folder, then deletes it when you unmount
[17:09] <comicinker> please help: when I try to copy a dvd, the copy process stops after 200MB. however the dvd has a 4GB size. are there any tools to copy the complete dvd? (dvdrescue didn't work)
[17:09] <kgodwin> I'm trying to figure out why XRandR disappeared on me for no apparent reason ;(
[17:09] <Nomexous> reya276: But fstab and mount don't do that.
[17:09] <jsquared> darius__: edit your profile, then go to the Colors tab
[17:09] <roflcopter> comicinker: dd
[17:09] <Nomexous> reya276: Just run 'sudo mkdir /media/disk; mount -a' and see if it works.
[17:09] <catmando> Solver, let me run a couple tests and provide a pastebin
[17:09] <reya276> Nomexous: ok
[17:09] <Solver> catmando: cool
[17:09] <darius__> ok
[17:10] <comicinker> roflcopter: dd does also stop after 200MB
[17:10] <richard_cs> comicinker: try ddrescue instead

[17:11] <skydart> The "developemnet" version of Wine 1.1.13 just became available today from winehq.org.  Generally speaking, how long does it take for it to show up in the repositories?
[17:11] <Chousuke> half a year :p
[17:12] <deany> there anything i can do to speed up the UI a little bit. i have a decent system, dont have compiz enabled but lot of the time when i have a few apps open, switchin between em is a little slow in that it shows the app you were using for like 1/2 a second..
[17:12] <Chousuke> unless it goes to backports.
[17:12] <deany> skydart:
[17:12] <deany> skydart: use the winehq repo
[17:12] <Chousuke> skydart: for wine, it's usually best to use the repos provided by winehq
[17:12] <ranec> Has anyone had success making a bootable USB flash drive with/ 8.10?
[17:13] <deany> skydart: ubuntu only have whats considered stable by wine.. (1.0.1 now). everything else is considered beta.  by wine
[17:13] <darius__> sorry for my ignorance but where do I go to edit profiles?
[17:13] <jsquared> ranec: I have
[17:13] <skydart> Chousuke, I am using the repo's from Wine, and I would have thought that it would automatically update it for me, but it doesn't.
[17:13] <ranec> Hi jsquared
[17:13] <jsquared> darius__: Edit > Profiles... from the terminal menu
[17:13] <Chousuke> skydart: well, the winehq repos might take a while to update.
[17:13] <deany> oh.. have they made a deb for it yet
[17:13] <ranec> I've done it twice with/ 2 different flash drives
[17:13] <ranec> and each failes differently
[17:13] <Chousuke> skydart: but you should ask the wine devs about that
[17:13] <Hikeractive> how can i connect to wireless network with wpa encryption through the command line. I read that with wep it would be iwconfig eth1 essid X key Y, but I don't know how to do it with wpa.
[17:14] <jsquared> ranec: never experienced anything like that
[17:14] <skydart> Chousuke, yes, I figured perhaps, but thought someone here might know.  Perhaps a couple of days.  Thanks, I'll check out the Wine devs about that.
[17:14] <Runpain2> How do i get ubuntu to reconize an external ide harddrive fromated to fat when i plug it in
[17:14] <darius__> jsquared:  What should I change in the colours sections?
[17:14] <jsquared> ranec: I just used the widget both times and it worked flawlessly
[17:14] <ranec> the process completes and claims to work, but neither actually boots
[17:14] <Woden> Does Ubuntu use GNOME 2.24?
[17:14] <john_anderson> Hello,,,,,,,does anyone have a Windows 98 theme for Ubuntu?
[17:14] <jsquared> darius__: change it to whatever colors you want :)
[17:14] <it_croud> hi guys
[17:15] <Elfie> hey
[17:15] <Woden> Does Ubuntu use i686 binaries?
[17:15] <it_croud> you  are all typing fast!
[17:15] <john_anderson> i searched gnome look and couldnt find one!!
[17:15] <ranec> My 1GB flash drive says that syslinux cannot find vesa<something>.c32
[17:15] <deany> seems they havent compiled binaries yet..
[17:15] <darius__> and that's what's causing the mouse to be jumpy?
[17:15] <it_croud> how many wpm? average?
[17:15] <Solver> john_anderson: not me sorry :)
[17:15] <tritium> Woden: no
[17:15] <john_anderson> solver,,, /me cries
[17:15] <ranec> and my 8GB flash drive says "missing operating system"
[17:15] <Solver> it_croud: I'm about 60 or 70 I think
[17:15] <mjartti> anyone knows why my download rate (before abt. 1mt/s to 800kt/s) after i downgraded from 8.10 to 7.10? also when im running winxp i can download faster.
[17:15] <Woden> tritium:  No to which question?
[17:15] <Solver> it_croud: irc makes you type fast
[17:15] <ryker65> Hello all, first time ever on IRC figured out how to install Ubuntu and learned enuf about sudo to get myself in trouble. how y'all doin'
[17:15] <ranec> Is there anythin specific about the drives I should know / prepare?
[17:15] <jsquared> darius__: for example, if you want black-on-white like you said before, pick "black on white" from the built-in-schemes list
[17:15] <it_croud> i can type  32- 40 wpm ONLY
[17:15] <jsquared> ranec: well I'd definitely format them first
[17:16] <tritium> Woden: i686 binaries
[17:16] <ranec> LOL
[17:16] <ranec> OK, with/ what FS?
[17:16] <Solver> it_croud: I used to type songs in to irc as they were playing on the radio
[17:16] <darius__> I think you have me confused w/someone else - I'm the one that's having mouse stuttering issues
[17:16] <Solver> it_croud: it made me fast :)
[17:16] <ranec> I heard FAT16
[17:16] <it_croud> how much time i need to type fast like 50 -60 wpm??
[17:16] <jsquared> darius__: oh, I'm an idiot
[17:16] <Hikeractive> how can i connect to wireless network with wpa encryption through the command line. I read that with wep it would be iwconfig eth1 essid X key Y, but I don't know how to do it with wpa.
[17:16] <Woden> tritium:  Why not?  Do many people use a CPU older than the Pentium Pro?
[17:16] <jsquared> darius__: I meant to be sending those to roflcopter
[17:16] <darius__> No you're not >  You were trying to help :)
[17:16] <Solver> it_croud: doesn't take that long if you practice
[17:16] <it_croud> Solver:Cool well done
[17:17] <guest_> install_device not specified. < is what I get trying to do: rub-install --root-directory=/mnt/foo < and wondering if someone could PM me on what I am doing wrong ? ;))
[17:17] <jsquared> ranec: fat32 would be better imo
[17:17] <Solver> it_croud:  a few months, even weeks if you tried hard
[17:17] <darius__> how do you select the user name only in xhat?
[17:17] <jsquared> ranec: particularly for larger images
[17:17] <bazhang> please take wpm discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:17] <guest_> s/rub/grub :)
[17:17] <it_croud> Solver: ok thanks man
[17:17] <mjartti> anyone?
[17:17] <tritium> Woden: a study was done, and the performance gains were so minimal, that it wasn't it
[17:17] <tritium> wasn't _worth_ it
[17:17] <darius__> anyone have any experience with mounting external usb hd?
[17:17] <Solver> it_croud: good luck :)
[17:17] <jsquared> darius__: plug it in, should be automatic for all recent drives
[17:17] <ranec> Can I format it from within Ubuntu? (I'm currently in XP)
[17:18] <leandroribeiro> I there! | I'm runing Ubuntu 8.10 and I was trying to install official ATI Drivers. Is there any known issue with Intrepid? With 8.04 everything was fine, but now not even with the binary (8.12) from ATI site works.
[17:18] <deany> darius__:  automatically for me
[17:18] <TheFunkbomb> so, funny story.  As soon as I turned on my firewall, my internet connection broke
[17:18] <jsquared> ranec: oh, you're making it from XP?
[17:18] <ranec> No, I'm just currently *in* XP
[17:18] <darius__> it's not
[17:18] <darius__> it
[17:18] <ranec> I'll boot form CD-ROM into Ubuntu & make it there
[17:18] <jsquared> darius__: does it work with another computer?
[17:18] <ra21vi> i am bit in a trouble. when i login with GDM, it shows "Error" in  a popped dialog
[17:18] <darius__> it will work if I'm in xp
[17:18] <jsquared> ranec: that works. you could also try the wubi installer
[17:19] <darius__> but not in ubuntu on 2 dif computers
[17:19] <jsquared> darius__: okay. well, mounting is also straightforward
[17:19] <ra21vi> when I do sudo, first output is "error", then the thing works
[17:19] <darius__> I've tried terminal mounting it as well
[17:19] <jsquared> darius__: do you see it in the list of drives in nautilus?
[17:19] <ra21vi> also, when I open graphical apps, which require user authentication, it hangs
[17:19] <ranec> So i can use wubi in XP from the CD-ROM to make the USB flash drive? :-O
[17:19] <ra21vi> can someone suggest me how to get out of this
[17:19] <Solver> ra21vi: have you been screwing with PAM or nsswitch.conf? :)
[17:20] <jsquared> ranec: er, sorry
[17:20] <darius__> doesn't see it in nautlus
[17:20] <ra21vi> Solver: i may not have, but I once used LikeWise app for Domain joining
[17:20] <jsquared> I meant UNetbootin, not wubi
[17:20] <jsquared> ranec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#UNetbootin%20(GUI-based,%20runs%20from%20either%20Windows%20or%20Linux)
[17:20] <darius__> if I reconnect it, it shows for about 2 seconds
[17:20] <frankS2> how do i get flash working in ubuntu? (never used linux before)
[17:21] <jsquared> darius__: hmm
[17:21] <ra21vi> this is the app : domainjoin-gui by LikeWise
[17:21] <jsquared> darius__: do you see it in /media ?
[17:21] <gizmo> anyone can help me about how to use new os..im now using ubuntu..and want to install vista..
[17:21] <ranec> jsquared: TVM will try that :D
[17:21] <Solver> ra21vi: check what /etc/nsswitch.conf says.  compare it to a working box.  be very careful when editing that file - don't change it unless you are sure your fix is right or you can easily lock yourself out entirely
[17:21] <Solver> ra21vi: also, check the logs for sudo
[17:21] <bazhang> gizmo, dual boot?
[17:21] <darius__> it shows cdrom cdrom0 and ntfs
[17:21] <Solver> ra21vi: it may give a clue
[17:21] <deany> switchin between apps in gnome is a little slow, like 1/2 a second delay or so between showin the app in front to the app ive switched to, is this just "life" with gnome .. dont have compiz enabled, have a decent laptop tho.
[17:21] <jsquared> darius__: ah, it's ntfs
[17:21] <gizmo> bazhang, i want to use 2 os..
[17:21] <ra21vi> frankS2: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[17:21] <Solver> ra21vi: it really sounds like the user authentication is a bit broken
[17:21] <jsquared> darius__: can you browse it?
[17:22] <darius__> you mean do a dir?
[17:22] <ndlovu> I've got an issue sending files from / browsing my camera phone with ubuntu bluetooth. anyone able to help me debug?
[17:22] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo gizmo
[17:22] <ra21vi> Solver: how can I see sudo log
[17:22] <jsquared> darius__: well, ls, but yeah
[17:22] <darius__> I'm in terminaal
[17:22] <ryker65> was wondering if I could get a hand with printing, CUPS is way over my head I'm a desktop user running 8.10 on a rather ancient machine with an HP LaserJet 4000 on LPT01 paralell, it installed flawlessly and fuctioned, then disappeared now cups won't function with hp software to install it and commands from forums end in denied error from cups attempts at restart of cups fail also
[17:22] <darius__> nothing in ntfs
[17:22] <ranec> ciao, I'll be back if I get stuck again ;)
[17:22] <Solver> ra21vi: /var/log/authlog (check exact name). if possible set debug logs on and look in /var/log/debug
[17:23] <jsquared> darius__: you probably need to follow these steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[17:23] <Solver> ra21vi: auth.log sorry
[17:23] <jsquared> darius__: ntfs isn't the greatest file system to work with
[17:23] <strangeseraph> what is the name of the xine package?
[17:23] <darius__> will try now - thanks
[17:23] <ra21vi> Solver: i dont have any other working machine, just this Ubuntu workstation
[17:23] <darius__> kk
[17:23] <Solver> ra21vi: download a live cdrom incase you need to use it to rescue the system
[17:23] <Solver> ra21vi: I like knoppix
[17:23] <jsquared> darius__: good luck!
[17:24] <midge> i want to use dial up but gnomeppp couldnt find device file i m using motorola sm56 data faxmodem so how do i install  modem file
[17:24] <catmando> Solver, i think I know what it is
[17:24] <ndlovu> sending files with bluetooth to the phone works fine, and so does using it as a modem (using it now)
[17:24] <frankS2> how do i get flash working in ubuntu? (never used linux before)
[17:24] <Solver> catmando: cool
[17:24] <ra21vi> Solver: in auth.conf, here is the error sudo: pam_lwidentity(sudo:account): cannot contact daemon
[17:24] <catmando> Solver, it seems that tftp-hpa can't handle symlinks
[17:24] <catmando> Solver, which is a new bug :(
[17:24] <reya276> Nomexous: that worked, but I had to change my UUID for /dev/sdb5
[17:24] <mib_qn9ny3j2> it seems i dont have the nvidia mkms on my new install of 10.8 i tryed "rpm -qa | grep dkms " and it returned nothing, how would i go about ddownloading them
[17:24] <Solver> ra21vi: right so you are trying to authenticate outside the local system
[17:24] <reya276> Nomexous: thanks
[17:24] <strangeseraph> I have an item called 'xine' in my media menu but I can't find the package for it in synaptic
[17:25] <ra21vi> Solver: any way to correct it?
[17:25] <catmando> Solver, since all the tutorials use tftp-hpa and a symlink for the configuration folder
[17:25] <Pici> mib_qn9ny3j2: Are you using Ubuntu? We use apt to manage packages, not rpm.
[17:25] <Solver> ra21vi: you need to figure out what sort of auth you want and make sure that is right.  local auth is by far the easiest to use
[17:25] <catmando> bah...
[17:25] <Hikeractive> how can i connect to wireless network with wpa encryption through the command line. I read that with wep it would be iwconfig eth1 essid X key Y, but I don't know how to do it with wpa.
[17:25] <comicinker> are there any other tools that I can try to copy dvd? dd, dd_rescue won't help to copy the (recently bought, brand new) dvd. please help
[17:25] <ra21vi> Solver: also this - sudo:  rskumar : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/rskumar ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/domainjoin-gui
[17:25] <Solver> catmando: ah.  I wonder if it is for security
[17:25] <Pici> comicinker: dvd::rip or k9copy
[17:26] <Solver> catmando: check the man page to see if there is a way to allow symlinks
[17:26] <Solver> ra21vi: so you want to auth to a domain
[17:26] <evilbug> i have a couple of accounts set up on my xubuntu 8.10 machine and all of a sudden one account will not load any of the panels but the other works perfectly fine. any clues?
[17:26] <MatBoy> is it logical to mount a lvm partition using nfs ?
[17:26] <ra21vi> Solver: I was using localauth, but just got this likewise app domainjoin for try to connect in my company domain
[17:26] <Solver> ra21vi: is this an Active Directory domain?
[17:26] <mib_qn9ny3j2> pici: i see i thought i could you both , how do i check my dkms modules using apt,
[17:26] <ra21vi> Solver: I want localauth
[17:26] <Solver> ra21vi: so you want to do back to local
[17:26] <Solver> cool
[17:26] <MatBoy> or should I place a partition on lvm and share that using nfs ?
[17:26] <mib_qn9ny3j2> pici: use both
[17:26] <ra21vi> Solver: yes
[17:26] <midge> i want to use dial up but gnomeppp couldnt find device file i m using motorola sm56 data faxmodem so how do i install  modem file
[17:26] <Solver> ra21vi: one sec..
[17:26] <comicinker> Pici: I think I need a tool to surpass some "limitation" of that dvd...

[17:27] <jhatlelid> anyone got a suggestions for where to start when I got sluggish playback of raw mpeg data in linuxmce? both live tv and playing dvd/xvid is crap when there is more than 20-30% change in picture.. it is like there is a small delay drawiing the lines from around the middle and to the bottom.. It gets worse with higher resolution (HD stream is worse).. and seems to worsen when I perform data moving/copy on the disks simultaniously
[17:27] <Solver> ra21vi: checkout http://pastebin.com/m8cbad86
[17:27] <ra21vi> Solver: that would be great, if my everything works fine,. just installed latest ubuntu 5 days ago, and updated, install many apps for my work... so now I dont want to install
[17:27] <Brack102> hi Ubuntu 8.10, trying to use Likewise to join to an AD domain.  When I use my FQDN "midco.local", it says CENTERROR_DOMAINJOIN_UNRESOLVED_DOMAIN_NAME but I can resolve that name just fine via CLI.  Anyone know why it would say that?
[17:27] <Solver> ra21vi: that is a vanilla nsswitch.conf from ubuntu 8.04
[17:27] <frankS2> how do i get flash working in ubuntu? (never used linux before)
[17:28] <Solver> ra21vi: before copying it in, compare to your existing one
[17:28] <gizmo> Create an NTFS partition for windows (using fdisk or whatever tool you are familiar with) <--whats this mean?
[17:28] <Solver> ra21vi: it ispossible the problem is in PAM (programable authenticate modules) and not nsswitch
[17:28] <ra21vi> Solver: ahh, I should also use the pastebin rather than pasting here
[17:28] <Solver> but it is a good place to start
[17:28] <ra21vi> Solver: let me compare it
[17:28] <Solver> ra21vi: backup any file you change
[17:28] <comicinker> !flash >frankS2
[17:28] <Solver> ra21vi: ideally run a full backup
[17:28] <ra21vi> Solver: yup sure
[17:28] <Ienorand> john_anderson: http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/1342 ??
[17:28] <Pici> mib_qn9ny3j2: I'm not sure of the command, sorry :/
[17:29] <Solver> ra21vi: nsswitch.conf is not known for tolerating mistakes :)
[17:29] <frankS2> ubottu, thank you :)
[17:29] <Solver> frankS2: :)
[17:29] <quiksilver> whats wrong with installing ubuntu via wubi?
[17:29] <ra21vi> Solver: that is exactly the same in my nsswitch.conf
[17:30] <ra21vi> Solver: no diff,
[17:30] <Solver> ra21vi: ok you'll need to dig into PAM.
[17:30] <Solver> ra21vi: assuming I'm on the right track.  do you have backups?
[17:30] <mysticdarkhack> Hey all
[17:30] <Hikeractive> how can i connect to wireless network with wpa encryption through the command line. I read that with wep it would be iwconfig eth1 essid X key Y, but I don't know how to do it with wpa.
[17:31] <ra21vi> Solver: not yet
[17:31] <mib_qn9ny3j2> ok tryed just got the error "Error! DKMS tree does not contain: nvidia-177.70", where can i download it
[17:31] <ra21vi> Solver: do I have to take the whole system backup
[17:31] <Solver> ra21vi: ok. you need to compare to a vanilla ubuntu box of the same version
[17:31] <lasivian> cd /tmp/firefox
[17:31] <lasivian> doh!
[17:31] <Solver> ra21vi: if you care about the system then you should have backups
[17:31] <toy> y
[17:31] <toy> trying somethin
[17:31] <toy> lol sorry
[17:31] <Solver> ra21vi: your presence here implies you do since you are spending time to fix it
[17:31] <ra21vi> Solver: uhh yes, now I understand the importance of backups
[17:32] <Solver> ra21vi: if you installed a working ubuntu in say vmware you could compare the two systems
[17:32] <sahil_> l
[17:32] <Solver> ra21vi: once you have backups you could consider a DR - disaster recovery - to revert the broken configuration
[17:32] <jacobw-uk> hi there, i've just turned on my acer aspire one (ath5k wireless chipset) and the wireless refuses to see access points or connect to the remember access point
[17:33] <ra21vi> Solver: any good tool for easy backup and recovery
[17:33] <ra21vi> ?
[17:33] <jacobw-uk> *remembered
[17:33] <david_brent1> hi can anybody please help
[17:33] <jacobw-uk> it seems to be scrambling the wpa2-psk key in network-manager
[17:33] <Solver> ra21vi: there are a lot.  I use the XFS filesystem so use xfsdump.  Tar is good but you really should have the filesystem read-only or unmounted.  if you use LVM you can take a snapshot & back that up
[17:33] <jacobw-uk> i keep putting it in but it changes it to a much longer string of hex
[17:33] <Solver> ra21vi: there are almost as many answers to that question as unix users :)
[17:34] <ra21vi> Solver: haha, right
[17:34] <david_brent1> i've just bought a laptop, and im on the live ubunut, but sound doesnt work on the speakers just on the headphones its a HP6380, has anybody had any expirience like this?
[17:34] <Solver> ra21vi: tar is good place to start though.  if it is a workstation you could just boot from knoppix and tar it all up once a week
[17:34] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 jacobw-uk
[17:34] <Solver> ra21vi: automated backups are better but start simple :)
[17:34] <ra21vi> Solver: well, since I did mistake,
[17:35] <toy> C]
[17:35] <Solver> ra21vi: start the backups anyway assuming you care about the personal data
[17:35] <ra21vi> Solver: hmm, when I was using Gentoo, I used to take backup snapshots
[17:35] <Solver> cool
[17:35] <Stalker72> When I try to install Kubuntu, there comes a screen saying something with BusyBox and (initramfs). It's a fresh computer build. I just finished it.
[17:35] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Try running gnome-volume-control and check the ALSA settings for the speakers
[17:35] <lasivian> does anyone know a good tutorial on freeing up disk space?
[17:35] <bazhang> Stalker72, did you md5 the iso
[17:35] <lasivian> i've got 8GB of SSD in my notebook and I want to keep as much empty as I can :)
[17:36] <mysticdarkhack> I need help getting my blackberry bluetooth phone syn in ubuntu. I already fallow my howto by installing gnome-blue and obex-vfs-ftp something, but still can't access phone. The error message I get when trying to connect is could not display obex:///xxxx with also a message want me to tried select another viewer. Any I dea here and your help is appreciated.
[17:36] <ra21vi> Solver: who would like recompiling when you do a little mistakes. But I got much comfort with Ubuntu, and forgot the practice of backups
[17:36] <Solver> ra21vi: so good luck.  that is a tricky situation to untangle.  PAM is not simple
[17:36] <bazhang> lasivian, netbooK?
[17:36] <Stalker72> bazhang: Probably no. I don't even know what it is. Does md5 have something to do with checksums?
[17:36] <nikdimster> hello !!
[17:36] <ra21vi> Solver: yup, thanks :)
[17:36] <Solver> ra21vi: well at least it wasn't lost personal data. could have been worse
[17:36] <bazhang> Stalker72, yep /msg ubottu md5
[17:36] <Solver> ra21vi: no. good luck again :)
[17:36]  * Solver goes back to work :)
[17:37] <david_brent1> AJC_Z0: did that, alsamixer only gives me one channel pulseaudio
[17:37] <ra21vi> Solver: yes, thats in Different partition, even my /home has different parititon
[17:37] <AJC_Z0> lasivian: That's a bit narrow for a tutorial. Remove archives, downloaded files (especially ISOs), unused temporary files, etc. Then look at unwanted packages
[17:37] <RizR> anyone know how to findout the size of pci-e port? is it x16 or what?
[17:37] <Stalker72> bazhang: Do I type something in the console?
[17:37] <david_brent1> ive turned up everything in the volume control
[17:37] <mysticdarkhack> I have a blackberry pearl 8100
[17:37] <ryker65> any able to help out with the printing issue, noob drowning in cups
[17:37] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Right. That's why I suggested gnome-volume-control
[17:37] <bazhang> Stalker72, right here in irc : /msg ubottu md5
[17:37] <rakesh> hiiiiiii
[17:38] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: the blackberry is not syncable with linux, there are tools in development but they are quite beta
[17:38] <bazhang> Stalker72, failing that (ie its okay) then reburn at low speed and do the disk integrity check at startup
[17:38] <Stalker72> bazhang: Thx! Is it most likely a problem with the installation disc? I could always try Ubuntu.
[17:38] <ArcSighter> anyone has solved the ubuntu intrepid slowdown problems?
[17:38] <bazhang> Stalker72, makes no difference kubuntu/ubuntu
[17:38] <rakesh> my ubuntu sound is very much low . can anyone help me?
[17:38] <Stalker72> bazhang: But if it
[17:38] <bazhang> Stalker72, likely a bad burn
[17:38] <ikonia> ArcSighter: I'm not aware of any problem with "slow down"
[17:38] <Stalker72> bazhang: ok
[17:38] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, oh now you tell me
[17:39] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, you tried it before?
[17:39] <Stalker72> bazhang: I could try another installation disc. That could fix it. Right?
[17:39] <AJC_Z0> rakesh: Check pulseaudio bar in alsamixer and sliders in gnome-volume-control
[17:39] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: I did some big research into it before purchasing a black berry and decided against it for this very reason
[17:39] <bazhang> Stalker72, you are burning in windows or other linux
[17:39] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: it uses a propriatary bluetooth stack and the cable is not standard even for sync
[17:39] <Stalker72> bazhang: I think I burned it in Ubuntu.
[17:39] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Is there any sounds from the speakers?
[17:39] <Stalker72> bazhang: A while ago.
[17:40] <bazhang> Stalker72, usually make a few coasters before I get it right myself :)
[17:40] <ArcSighter> iuddlenly expereienced big slowdowns with desktop ubuntu after upgrading from 8.04.1
[17:40] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: sorry to bring you bad news
[17:40] <david_brent1> AJC_Z0: none
[17:40] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, well it seem it work when connected with usb cable directly.
[17:40] <Stalker72> bazhang: brb, I'll try what you said. I'll report back. ;)
[17:40] <bazhang> ArcSighter, please be much more specific
[17:40] <david_brent1> AJC_Z0: its freaking me out
[17:40] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: really ? you can sync it with the cable, I read it as a diffeent pin out
[17:40] <catmando> Solver, nah, it's a bug
[17:40] <catmando> Solver, thanks for the guidance
[17:41]  * catmando goes off to submit the bug
[17:41] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Sounds like it thinks you still have the headphones plugged in. Do you see any log entries when you insert and remove the headphone jack? [I don't know what, if any log, would have this]
[17:41] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Do the speakers work?
[17:41] <david_brent1> AJC_Z0: dunno now
[17:41] <epscylonb> hi
[17:41] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, actually is like a media, or reconize as storage, but I can that a different matter of a sort
[17:42] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: yes, it will see it as a dumb disk
[17:42] <david_brent1> AJC_Z0: gonna go try arch or something live to see if theres any luck there
[17:42] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Best test them by booting something else which makes noise
[17:42] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: shouldn't be syncable though
[17:42] <david_brent1> AJC_Z0: thanks anyway man
[17:42] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: (unless you use the development tools, which where hit and miss when I tried them with my demo phone)
[17:42] <rdancer> there is a dguitar package in gutsy, but not in hardy or interpid. how can i find out what happened, why it was removed?
[17:43] <epscylonb> does anyone know if you can run 2 monitors off a video card and third off the onbaord mb video in hardy heron ?
[17:43] <leandroribeiro> I'm following this wiki: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu_Intrepid_.28v_8.10.29 | When I run aticonfig --initial -f I get a Segmentation Fault
[17:43] <ndlovu> is there a way to specify that I only want to upgrade certain files and their dependencies?
[17:43] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, well suck for my blackbery
[17:43] <leandroribeiro> I've googled, but with no luck :|
[17:43] <AJC_Z0> david_brent1: Good luck. The one time I lost sound on Ubuntu 8.04 I ended up re-installing because I could not work out how to get it back
[17:43] <gizmo> how to delete my log-in terminal?
[17:43] <ndlovu> I only want to upgrade certain packages rather (not files)
[17:43] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: I know - it's bad news, there is a protest filed with rim over it, but nothing will be changing
[17:43] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, don't feel like getting another phone and I still like my blackberry
[17:44] <sahil_> anyone connecting bluetooth headset in ubuntu
[17:44] <ArcSighter> bazhang I've upgraded from 8.04.01
[17:44] <bazhang> gizmo, why would you want to do that?
[17:44] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: I concur - I liked mine, but swapped it within 14 days due to this problem
[17:44] <ArcSighter> and after that I couldn't manage to get 3 applications opened without freezing
[17:44] <gizmo> bazhang, i mean the log that i dont need and from trash bin.
[17:44] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, what phone work with ubuntu?
[17:45] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: nokie E71
[17:45] <bazhang> ArcSighter, so have I, and no worries; it would be helpful if you gave pertinent details, links to forums threads and/or bug reports
[17:45] <mysticdarkhack> even the latest one n?
[17:45] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: that was my replacment for the blackberry bold, just as good, smaller lighter and supported with linux
[17:45] <ArcSighter> and for those with the audio issue try compiling alsa drivers
[17:45] <ArcSighter> bazhang
[17:46] <mysticdarkhack> I don't think t-mobile have an Nokia N series yet
[17:46] <ArcSighter> I got loadavg of 12
[17:46] <bazhang> ArcSighter, yes?
[17:46] <ikonia> mysticdarkhack: no idea
[17:46] <ArcSighter> after i upgraded I couldn't manage to get firefox, thunderbird and pidgin running at the same time, it's terribily slow
[17:47] <mysticdarkhack> ikonia, thank for the help and info. Now I'm going to get my finger reader working
[17:47] <John`anderson> Hello Again again i am back with yet another question....
[17:47] <ArcSighter> as I said I'm a day off downgrading to hardy or maybe upgrading to jaunty but this is unaceptable
[17:47] <John`anderson> I downloaded a couple of window borders and ive having problems using them
[17:47] <Stalker72> bazhang: I tried with a Linux Mint 5 installation disc and got the same problem.
[17:47] <rdancer> which mua apart from evolution can download mail from ms exchange using the ms proprietary protocol?
[17:47] <bazhang> ArcSighter, just saying 'its slower' wont get it fixed.
[17:47] <gouki> Anyone knows if there is a silent switch for dpkg? So it doesn't give any output on operations? I can't seem to find anything about it.
[17:48] <John`anderson> they are in .xml form..
[17:48] <ArcSighter> bazhang pv
[17:48] <Pici> gouki: Just pipe the output to /dev/null
[17:48] <bazhang> ArcSighter, you need to point to specific bugs, instances of crashes etc
[17:48] <gouki> Pici, that's what I've bee using. Was just looking for a prettier way :) But that works, indeed :)
[17:49] <ArcSighter> I got no crashes besides sigkills I've usually send to this software when are frozen
[17:49] <bazhang> ArcSighter, please keep this in channel, more eyes to solve the problem once you give pertinent details
[17:49] <ArcSighter> ok
[17:49] <ArcSighter> well define pertinent details
[17:49] <ArcSighter> what do you need
[17:49] <ArcSighter> ?
[17:49] <lordnoid> does anyone know how to make a full format (overwrite with zeros) in gparted?
[17:50] <antox> hi, i have a little problem with cmake in ubuntu....
[17:50] <Sofistio> hi to everyone
[17:51] <antox> -- checking for module 'fftw3f>=3.0.0'
[17:51] <antox> --   package 'fftw3f>=3.0.0' not found
[17:51] <antox> where do I find fftw3f???
[17:51] <antox> what is that, at all?
[17:51] <ArcSighter> well I've already searched at http://ubuntuforums.org many people had the issue, but there aren't solutions that worked for me
[17:51] <scientes> for system name should i use a FQDN or just short name?
[17:51] <eightyeight> i just noticed that zenoss is not in the ubuntu repos. any reason why?
[17:51] <ArcSighter> and I'm still slow :(
[17:51] <Ketrel> Has anyone figured out anything about the problem with blank TTYs with nvidia drivers?
[17:51] <Pici> !info libfftw3-3
[17:52] <Pici> antox: ^
[17:52] <scientes> eightyeight, check if its in multiverse then submit a [needs-packaging] bug if you wish, at ubuntu or debian
[17:52] <Stalker72> bazhang: Is Check CD for Defects the same thing as verifying checksums?
[17:52] <antox> thx!!
[17:52] <bazhang> ArcSighter, what are system specs; what graphic card and how was driver installed,
[17:52] <david_brent> AJC_Z0: hi i've just put 8.04 in it and the sound works
[17:52] <eightyeight> scientes: i've checked. ubuntu isn't packaging it
[17:52] <Jack_Sparrow> ArcSighter, have you tried with effects off and running vesa driver instead of prop. one for a test
[17:52] <david_brent> AJC_Z0: :D
[17:52] <bazhang> ArcSighter, using compiz or not
[17:52] <ArcSighter> well now that you mention
[17:52] <ArcSighter> it's ATI
[17:52] <scientes> eightyeight, then thats how you request packaging
[17:53] <ryker65> could I get a hand with a printing/CUPS problem?
[17:53] <ArcSighter> but I haven't installed restricted drivers, but it worked quite well in hardy
[17:53] <bazhang> fglrx?
[17:53] <ArcSighter> not using compiz

[17:54] <dhilip> It is really tough to follow this chat
[17:54] <Sofistio> i decided to buy new laptop but i need a model ubuntu (or in general linux) compatible in a most part of its components (especially for video cards). I had a bad experience with hp where videocards seems compatible at 100% and there are also official driver (instable, very instable)
[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ArcSighter, <bazhang> ArcSighter, what are system specs; what graphic card and how was driver installed,
[17:54] <bazhang> ArcSighter, please give system specs, and other details such as when you get the crashes etc (open Terminal and type top to see what is eating cpu cycles)
[17:54] <Sofistio> please let me yours experiences
[17:54] <ArcSighter> ok I have 2.6 intel, 312 ram 200 hdd
[17:54] <Stalker72> Sofistio: For Linux, I would not use a HP laptop! I've had lots of problems with it.
[17:55] <bazhang> ArcSighter, 312 ram?
[17:55] <Jack_Sparrow> ArcSighter, swapping alot
[17:55] <Sofistio> Thanks Stalker72

[17:55] <eightyeight> scientes: already requested
[17:55] <Stalker72> Sofistio: I'd recommend something like System76. They sell computers with Ubuntu pre-installed.
[17:55] <ArcSighter> on top by cpu i got pidgin, xorg, and smbd
[17:55] <bazhang> Stalker72, yep
[17:55] <bazhang> Stalker72, the md5 is distinct from integrity check
[17:55] <ArcSighter> by memory i got firefox , pidgin, xorg
[17:55] <Sofistio> Stalker72: i'm going to see that pc
[17:56] <ra21vi> what does compat means in /etc/nsswitch.conf
[17:56] <bazhang> ArcSighter, and this was speedy using hardy? with 312 ram?
[17:56] <ArcSighter> but this time I'm not experiencing slows because I have almost no apps opened I have 0.35 load avg
[17:56] <Stalker72> bazhang: This is a freshly made PC. I don't have an OS on it currently.
[17:57] <ArcSighter> 312 mb of ram hardy runned excelently
[17:57] <ryker65> never used IRC before today is my connection to chat working?
[17:57] <Stalker72> bazhang: Could it be a HDD problem?
[17:57] <Pici> ryker65: Yes. This is the Official Ubuntu Support channel.

[17:57] <speedy1> Hello I have a problem with Ubuntu 8.10 and samba: it's started at boot time but not accessible. I have to restart is as root first. Is it a permission problem?
[17:57] <ryker65> tyvm
[17:57] <bazhang> Stalker72, doubt it; most likely the burning issue
[17:57] <Stalker72> bazhang: Should I try a 3rd CD?
[17:58] <bazhang> Stalker72, what are you using to burn it with
[17:58] <mamaro> if i have a core duo processor would i want to download ubuntu 64-bit?
[17:58] <bazhang> mamaro, need core2
[17:58] <Stalker72> bazhang: As far as I remember, I've used Infrarecorder (in Winblows), Brasero and the integrated burning tool in Ubuntu.
[17:58] <Stalker72> mamaro: yes
[17:59] <Afrohealer> any sugestion on a simple way to remotely configure/supprt a unbuntu 8.10 system?    basicaly i have ubuntu setup for a friend of mines mum .. adn occasionally i have to admin it.. adn woudl prefer nto to have to drive over there..
[17:59] <Stalker72> Afrohealer: Remote desktop tool
[17:59] <mamaro> is 64-bit still buggy?
[17:59] <Stalker72> mamaro: No
[17:59] <gouki> Afrohealer, setup DynamicDNS and then use SSH to connect to his box. Don't forget to enable port forwarding on his router.
[17:59] <bazhang> Stalker72, you may wish to try isorecorder2 or the built in one on gnome (set to low speed when possible)
[17:59] <ArcSighter> Afrohealer ssh will do fine for me :D
[17:59] <Sub101> afrohealer: have you tried the integrated remote desktop?
[18:00] <ArcSighter> the issue isn't my own only, check: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014087&highlight=intrepid+slow
[18:00] <Stalker72> bazhang: I always burn CDs with the lowest possible speed.
[18:00] <AJC_Z0> Afrohealer: You can log into the system with ssh and use both the shall and X11 tools. usually the tricky part is tracking the dynamic IP (with which dynamic DNS services can help)
[18:00] <Afrohealer> sub101: no i have not tried the remote deskto
[18:00] <bazhang> Stalker72, then keep burning, or you can try some boot parameters such as removing quiet and splash to see the exact errors
[18:00] <Sub101> Afrohealer: is that not an option for you?
[18:01] <Afrohealer> I want something liek maybe VNC ,..,
[18:01] <ArcSighter> Afrohealer then get a vncserver lol
[18:01] <Afrohealer> that way i can take control fo the sytem .. when she has problems..
[18:01] <bazhang> ArcSighter, not sure what the problem is, though ram is the most likely culprit imo
[18:01] <speedy1> how can i start samba at boot time ?
[18:01] <deany> Stalker72:  k3b never let me down, whereas brasero has lots of times, i uninstalled.. worth a try anyway
[18:01] <AJC_Z0> Unix platforms aren't Windows systems. You don't need or want a desktop to administer them
[18:01] <Berto> hi, my user is in the admin group but cannot run sudo.  my sudoers file shows this:  admin   ALL=(ALL) ALL
[18:01] <Afrohealer> just wondering what peeps sugestiogn are
[18:01] <Stalker72> bazhang: I've used the discs I just tried to install Linux on other machines, flawlessly.
[18:01] <Berto> what could be wrong with my sudoers?
[18:01] <Stalker72> deany: Yeah, I don't like Brasero either. :P
[18:02] <bazhang> Stalker72, then try the boot paremeter adjustments
[18:02] <bazhang> err parameter
[18:02] <bobbob1016> Does anyone know how I can remove users from a hamachi group, without being able to join because there are 15 users already?  My home PC is on, and when I try to connect from my laptop, 1000 miles away it says network full.
[18:02] <Afrohealer> Any VNC server that you guys recomend?
[18:02] <Stalker72> bazhang: How?
[18:02] <runderwo> Berto: should be %admin not admin
[18:02] <deany> well its still in its infancy, maybe 1 day..
[18:02] <ArcSighter> Berto is actually %admin ALL ... because it's a group
[18:03] <Milosz> How can in install German as a spellchecking language_
[18:03] <Milosz> ?
[18:03] <Berto> runderwo, ArcSighter thanks!!  i thought that was a comment :)
[18:03] <Stalker72> Milosz: In Firefox?
[18:03] <Milosz> I tried to do it, and I thought I *had* done it, but apparently not
[18:03] <Berto> runderwo, ArcSighter perfect thanks again!  *hug* ;-)
[18:03] <Milosz> Stalker72, no in for example OpenOffice and GEdit
[18:03] <bazhang> Stalker72, you know how to get into grub at startup? the 3 2 1 countdown? edit it there (e to edit) then remove quiet and splash at the end)
[18:03] <runderwo> Milosz: install aspell-de ?
[18:03] <simplexio> Berto: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[18:03] <Stalker72> Milosz: I think you can manually install dictionaries for OpenOffice.
[18:03] <simplexio> Berto: is the right line
[18:03] <ArcSighter> well people I'm almost downgrading to hardy anyone knows how to solve this
[18:04] <ArcSighter> intrepid issue?
[18:04] <Stalker72> bazhang: Remember that the OS is not installed at all. The HDDs are completely empty. ;)
[18:04] <Stalker72> bazhang: It's a new PC build.
[18:04] <Sub101> arcsighter: whats your problem?
[18:04] <mamaro> is dapper the lasted ubuntu?
[18:04] <Milosz> runderwo, well you say that as if this were the most normal thing in the world but I don't think normal users, and not even me (I'm using Linux for 15 years now, and develop software on it on my own) can just "guess" that for spelling in openoffice and gedit they need to "install" "aspell-de"
[18:04] <ArcSighter> I said, intrepid running very slowly
[18:04] <Milosz> just pointing it out ;)
[18:04] <bazhang> Stalker72, on the live cd
[18:04] <Gigacore> hello guys! I downloaded Google Earth in .bin format.. how to install it on my ubuntu?
[18:05] <tritium> Gigacore: enable the medibuntu repository, and sudo apt-get install it
[18:05] <Stalker72> bazhang: When I launch a live session with the CD, does the countdown come up?
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mamaro, No that is quite old
[18:05] <bazhang> Stalker72, yep
[18:05] <Gigacore> tritium: where to enable medibuntu?
[18:05] <Stalker72> bazhang: brb, let me try. :)
[18:05] <Sub101> gigacore: sudo ./name.bin or just ./name.bin
[18:05] <tritium> !medibuntu | Gigacore
[18:05] <ryker65> printing/CUPS issue here any help greatly appreciated....wife and kids angry.....want windows back so they can print
[18:05] <simplexio> Gigacore: another way is just sh whatever.bin , but removing package will be much harder
[18:06] <Milosz> language-support-de
[18:06] <Milosz> i think that's the right metapackage
[18:06] <Gigacore> ok
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !de
[18:06] <Gigacore> thanks guys
[18:06] <speedy1> hello samba is started at boot time but i have to restart it before its accessible where can I look for reported errors?
[18:06] <Milosz> well German is not my primary language
[18:06] <simplexio> ryker65: ye yes.. we all have issues, but noone cant help if you dont specify problem
[18:06] <Milosz> i just need it for some documents
[18:06] <Radtoo> ryker65: If you have no time, actually DO boot back into windows and solve it later?
[18:06] <Milosz> but thanks for pointing it out
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> np

[18:07] <sahil_> i am here asking same question for 2 hrs with no response

[18:08] <jester-> !anyone | sahil_
[18:08] <runderwo> Milosz: I used a question mark because I'm not sure if the program you're using uses libaspell or not...
[18:08] <srid> I'd be interested in contributing to it as I am working on similar efforts at my job
[18:08] <simplexio> sahil_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sahil_, The best questions make for the best answers.  Providing info on your hardware, the nature of the problem all help in solving your issues
[18:08] <Sub101> sahil_: i know it is to do with enabling a2dp forwarding, but i could never make it work
[18:08] <simplexio> sahil_: if you had that time to google, try those solutions and then came here to ask some questions..
[18:09] <synthe_ciser> Jeruvy, are you there? :x
[18:09] <AnaisCareMaiz> is there anyway to install flashplayer on ubuntu 8.04 now? I need it for some sites
[18:09] <Cedara> I could need assistance because I made a mess in changing the fstab

[18:09] <Stalker72> bazhang: The countdown didn't show up, only a flashing underscore for a few seconds.
[18:09] <AnaisCareMaiz> gnash doesnt work well
[18:09] <simplexio> sahil_: btw.. it should work automaticly if you have bluetooth connection
[18:10] <sahil_> i do have
[18:10] <sahil_> it works fine in vista
[18:10] <firecrotch> I recall reading that X can be configured to run a single application instead of running a full-fledged window manager or DE, however this was a long time ago that I had found instructions on how to do it, and have since lost the bookmark... can anyone point me in the right direction?
[18:10] <Cedara> Situation is this: I changed an ntfs partition to ext3 and changed the fstab, but now it won't boot properly and can't find the /home
[18:10] <ryker65> Running Ubuntu 8.10 with an HP LaserJet 4000 have been to forums and tried solutions, printer is conneted via parallel port on LPT01 installed flawlessly then 2 days later disappeared error range from CUPS scheduler not running to denied in command line

[18:13] <sahil_> so, can you tell me how to safely uninstall ubuntu so that i could log in to vista without grub

[18:14] <user___> smoovep: (you might also look into virtualbox as a replacement)

[18:14] <bazhang> master boot record sahil_
[18:14] <fL`y> someone here who has some skills in c++ and already concerned about .dlls?
[18:14] <sahil_> ok

[18:15] <sahil_> trying to solve a bluetooth problem in ubuntu takes 10-12 days without result
[18:15] <albuntu> fL`y: maybe you can try /join #c++

[18:15] <ArcSighter> people I started thunderbird it consumed %20.9MEM and I ogt load avg of 13.42 I killed with signal 15 still there, it's terribly slow

[18:15] <simplexio> ArcSighter: kill -9
[18:15] <sukiminna> a-stray-cat`: just use gedit
[18:15] <runderwo> ryker65: but it still might flood-kick you ;)
[18:16] <sahil_> frustrated
[18:16] <sahil_> frustrated
[18:16] <a-stray-cat`> hmm
[18:16] <a-stray-cat`> ill try gedit then, was using gvim
[18:16] <nickrud> a-stray-cat`, eclipse will do that, but it's a big swiss knife java app
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> sahil_, Please lose the running commentarty
[18:16] <albuntu> a-stray-cat`: you can try bluefish
[18:16] <a-stray-cat`> ah, eclipse
[18:16] <a-stray-cat`> bluefish?
[18:16] <runderwo> ryker65: ps ax |grep cupsd
[18:16] <ArcSighter> simplexio I've done it a lot of times i just let it there in the case that the slow downs problem I'm experienced may be related with thunderbird
[18:16] <ArcSighter> i have not safe-mode like in windows
[18:16] <a-stray-cat`> ill take a look, thanks
[18:17] <a-stray-cat`> also, i heard there was a gimp patch or configuration file that lays out its controls to be more like photoshop? would anyone happen to knwo the name of that?
[18:17] <drakesoft> hello, everybody! I want to download the alpha 3 of kubuntu (jaunty), but the download server says "not found". When is the release of the cd images?
[18:17] <sahil_> i have ubuntu server installed in an old machine but it says no wvdial installed so how i am supposed to connect it to net
[18:17] <ArcSighter> people, any experiences with jaunty???
[18:18] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion ArcSighter
[18:18] <quiksilver> if im just messing around to learn python etc is wubi okay for me to install?
[18:18] <Radtoo> a-stray-cat`: gimpshop but I think there ain't been a release for a long time... krita actually IS more like photoshop
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !dialup
[18:18] <Slart> a-stray-cat`: I think it's called gimpshop
[18:18] <nickrud> a-stray-cat`, that's called gimpshop, but isn't supported by the gimp people so I hear
[18:18] <a-stray-cat`> krita?
[18:19] <Stalker72> bazhang: So basically I should just do a re-burn with K3b, with lowest writing speed?
[18:19] <a-stray-cat`> gimpshop eh, thanks for the info :3
[18:19] <Dre4m> hey men & ladies, Im using compiz fusion with manager and plugins etc etc, im trying to get my desktop to just look like a cube . . not when i rotate it not zooming out  . . as if im looking inside the cube . . but when im not rotating . . so if you took the front face of a cube off . . . I have looked everywhere and cant seem to do it yet I have seen others like it any ideas?
[18:19] <Radtoo> a-stray-cat`: GIMP is a great editor... even without photoshop type UI. Problem is, it ain't like photoshop in the way it doesn't really support vectors and all. Might want to try koffice's krita.
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> quiksilver, Personally I wont use it, I would rather see you do a regular install on its' own partition
[18:19] <ArcSighter> I got loadavg of 15.42 this is impossible!
[18:19] <sahil_> is anybody here running a bluetooth headset with ubuntu
[18:19] <a-stray-cat`> i just have trouble finding my tools in gimp
[18:19] <a-stray-cat`> im just editing a couple of screencaps, but its slow going because all my buttons are in the wrong place ;/
[18:20] <bazhang> Stalker72, odd that you get dropped to busybox like that, the burn is the culprit imo
[18:20] <Radtoo> a-stray-cat`: http://www.koffice.org/krita/pics/girl_by_enkhitan.png <- krita screenshot
[18:20] <sahil_> suggest any partition manager for ubuntu
[18:20] <a-stray-cat`> oh, neat
[18:20] <albuntu> sahil_: gparted
[18:20] <eraggo> moi oon surkka
[18:20] <earthian> Hello, what is happening with a freshly reinstalled (apt remove with --purge and then apt install) FireFox here? I get no starting page while i have clearly defined it as in screenshot: http://earthian.g3r.org/null/Nuotrauka-2.png
[18:21] <albuntu> sahil_: System > Administration > Partition Editor
[18:21] <sahil_> i am  doing gksu gparted but nothing happens
[18:21] <Stalker72> bazhang: One more thing that MIGHT be the problem. The BIOS detect my HDD (Western Digital Black, 1 TB, 32 MB cache), but somewhere in the boot it says something about hard drive not detected, only for half a second.
[18:21] <simplexio> ArcSighter: does top tell you what programs missbehave
[18:21] <Scunizi> sahil_: try sudo apt-get install gparted first
[18:21] <quiksilver> Jack_Sparrow: i cant seem to burn the iso to disc
[18:21] <bazhang> Stalker72, then you need to find and mount it
[18:21] <quiksilver> my burner wont read the cd's i put in
[18:21] <quiksilver> so i cant partition
[18:21] <sahil_> it asks for password and when i provide it nothing happens
[18:22] <Stalker72> bazhang: Do you mean auto-detect in BIOS?
[18:22] <sahil_>  System > Administration > Partition Editor  there is no partition editor here
[18:22] <albuntu> sahil_: try sudo gparted
[18:22] <sukiminna> sahil_: sudo apt-get gparted
[18:22] <albuntu> and tell us what the terminal output says
[18:22] <runderwo> sukiminna: sudo apt-get _install_ gparted
[18:22] <bazhang> albuntu, gskudo for gui apps
[18:22] <Stalker72> bazhang: The boot devicy priority thing finds the HDD, but not somewhere else in the BIOS. Weird!
[18:23] <sahil_> thanx
[18:23] <albuntu> bazhang: right , my fault
[18:23] <sukiminna> runderwo: hehe..forgot the install part got me ther
[18:23] <Stalker72> bazhang: The boot both detects and don't detect them......
[18:23] <sahil_> for apt-get suggestion, i shouldt have thought tha
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> quiksilver, isorecorder is free quick and easy.. (for burning in windows)
[18:23] <bazhang> Stalker72, that is very odd; do other cd's have the same issue?
[18:23] <Stalker72> bazhang: Yes
[18:23] <ArcSighter> so people I have no experience downgrading, editing sources.list will do it, or I have to go futher?
[18:23] <quiksilver> Jack_Sparrow: yes, but my burning device wont read my cd
[18:23] <bazhang> ArcSighter, complete reinstall
[18:23] <sahil_> coming back is anyone here have connected bluetooth headset with ubuntu
[18:24] <Stalker72> bazhang: My MB is an Asus P6T Deluxe, if that helps. I know there is an integrated RAID controller from Marvell.
[18:24] <tritium> ArcSighter: there is no supported downgrade path
[18:24] <sukiminna> can we downgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 8.04?
[18:24] <tritium> sukiminna: see above
[18:24] <ryker65> runderwo not used to IRC and how to message indiv., learning but this is the output from las command you suggested:  6759 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep cupsd
[18:24] <bazhang> sukiminna, sure, with a complete reinstall
[18:24] <a-stray-cat`> hey, when i have a menu open, the print screen key no longer takes a picture
[18:24] <ArcSighter> tritium if I change source preferences
[18:24] <a-stray-cat`> is there any way around that?
[18:24] <ArcSighter> of apt
[18:24] <bazhang> ArcSighter, no
[18:25] <sahil_> sukiminna why would you wantto do that
[18:25] <ArcSighter> I could downgrade?
[18:25] <iluminator101> My minimize,maximize, and close button disappeared on firefox, also when i open firefox it maximize fully and i cant see applications or dock bar?
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> quiksilver, External I assume
[18:25] <runderwo> ryker65: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
[18:25] <a-stray-cat`> (i need to take a screencap of the menu)
[18:25] <simplexio> ArcSighter: did you find which caused that load, io wait or ?
[18:25] <sukiminna> bazhang : having problems with nvidia driver
[18:25] <sahil_>  is anyone here have connected bluetooth headset with ubuntu
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> quiksilver, Sorry but I need to run..  good luck
[18:25] <ArcSighter> processes consuming a lot of memory such as firefox and thunderbird
[18:25] <sahil_> no answers!!!!
[18:25] <sahil_> is no one have ever done this
[18:25] <bazhang> sahil_, dont repeat every 60 seconds
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> sahil_, You need a better question
[18:25] <sahil_> bazhang
[18:25] <Radtoo> a-stray-cat`: might want to use a screenshot program with a timer or a different snapshot key... like gnome-screenshot.
[18:26] <a-stray-cat`> alright, thanks
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> sahil_, The best questions make for the best answers.  Providing info on your hardware, the nature of the problem, what you have tried etc. will help in solving your issues
[18:26] <sahil_> its a better Question because it is yet to be answered
[18:26] <simplexio> sahil_: it should be plug and play. but we cant help you if you dont tell us what error it gives
[18:26] <toy> m in
[18:26] <sahil_> bazhang, i am made to repeat because there is no solution for me
[18:26] <bazhang> sahil_, repeating like that every 60 seconds will not get an answer quicker
[18:27] <bazhang> sahil_, so please stop.
[18:27] <earthian> so what is with firefox? where are my pages?
[18:27] <ryker65> runderwo, ok it accepted my passwd with no output should i try installing the printer now?
[18:27] <earthian> does anybody else have problems with firefox since around 3 days????
[18:27] <sahil_> obex error
[18:27] <Stalker72> bazhang: Could a re-burn solve the problem?
[18:28] <bazhang> Stalker72, likely yes; using the cd/dvd creator in gnome has best results here
[18:28] <Stalker72> bazhang: Brasero or the integrated one?
[18:29] <bazhang> Stalker72, brasero always fails for me :)
[18:29] <simplexio> sahil_: http://www.sharpee.com/wordpress/?p=36 there, explains what is problem and what you need to do
[18:29] <Stalker72> bazhang: Me too. :P
[18:29] <Radtoo> earthian: no idea past that you may want to make ~/.mozilla writable and at worst, move it somewhere so a new folder may be created for testing purposes. (Old trick also was to delete the chrome file it contained... but it may not be applicable this time)
[18:29] <farnsworth_> hi
[18:29] <sahil_> thanx simplexio for your efforts
[18:29] <deany> try command line
[18:29] <webframp> whats are some differences between nagios and munin for server monitoring ?
[18:29] <MarkusT> Does anyone know when Gnome 2.25.x/2.26 will be packaged for jaunty? I'm dying to try evolution-mapi, but I'm stuck at recompiling evolution for intrepid or jaunty.
[18:29] <Baughn> What's that program (applet) that pops up by default that handles wifi connections called?
[18:30] <Stalker72> bazhang: I'll report back later.
[18:30] <creek23> hello.
[18:30] <Stalker72> bazhang: Thanks for all your help!
[18:30] <webframp> Baughn: nm-applet ?
[18:30] <simplexio> sahil_: btw.,. first hit in google with "ubuntu bluetooth obex error headset"
[18:30] <ryker65> runderwo tyvm for walking me through this
[18:30] <iluminator101>  My minimize,maximize, and close button disappeared on firefox, also when i open firefox it maximize fully and i cant see applications or dock bar
[18:30] <Baughn> webframp: Hmm
[18:30] <Dre4m> does anyone know how to get my desktop to look like im in a cube without having to rotate the thing?
[18:30] <Baughn> webframp: ...I'd ask you about it, but I'm actually trying to make it work on gentoo right now. ^^;
[18:31] <ArcSighter> so I'm lost why this processes are consuming that much CPU/RAM if they ran succesfully on hardy?
[18:31] <creek23> is it possible to make a DEB file from windows -- it's just an archive with md5 hashes isn't it?
[18:31] <MarkusT> iluminator: press Alt-F2 and rund "metacity --replace". After that, just disable desktop effects...
[18:31] <webframp> Baughn: hehe, well i couldn't help i use arch ;)
[18:31] <simplexio> sahil_: and actually this one is probably better howto get headset working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786640
[18:31] <bazhang> ArcSighter, I would try to create another user, and barring any improvements there try lxde / fluxbox or something lighter
[18:32] <earthian> ok. thanks. apt-get remove firefox-3.0 --purge && apt-get install opera will solve the problem :(
[18:32] <simplexio> earthian: you have seen the light
[18:32] <ArcSighter> bazhang: it will log on in another user wait a second
[18:32] <raffaele> ciao
[18:32] <Emacs_> i have installed kubuntu and the screen always goes off and on, what can i do?
[18:33] <h4mx0r> I resized my / and made another ext3 partition to dump all my user files into now I want to reinstall ubuntu using that new partition as a separate /home but will it delete my files? will there be permissions issues?
[18:33] <tripps> xvidcap just dies when I click the record button
[18:33] <deany> i couldnt use any other browser without the plugins in FF...
[18:33] <worions1> ciao a tutti
[18:33] <ryker65> runderwo, should I be seeing CUPS running in system monitor, it does not appear there
[18:33] <Dre4m> as webcams are totally awfull to be kind to linux . . does anyone know of any webcams that are good for linux I.E come with drivers or drivers have been made for?
[18:34] <simplexio> ryker65: /etc/init.d/cupsys start
[18:34] <Baughn> Dre4m: Any cam that uses the standard USB camera/video protocol will work
[18:34] <iluminator101> ahh...thanks MARKUST :)
[18:34] <Dre4m> ye  work , , and look like a joke lol
[18:34] <MarkusT> iluminator: You're welcome
[18:34] <Dre4m> mine "works" but it looks rediculous . . no good drivers or anything
[18:35] <Dre4m> dark and dingy and totally awfull un usable
[18:35] <Baughn> Dre4m: "Dark"?
[18:35] <Dre4m> ye
[18:35] <Dre4m> dark
[18:35] <Baughn> Dre4m: Probably the program reading it just doesn't do brightness adjustment
[18:35] <Dre4m> Baughn: dark . . .
[18:36] <Dre4m> hmmm
[18:36] <ryker65> when I input that I get command not found
[18:36] <Dre4m> well whats a program I can test it? as in just view it?
[18:36] <Baughn> Most webcams don't have any exposure adjustments
[18:36] <bazhang> Dre4m, cheese
[18:36] <Dre4m> cheese? ty bazhang
[18:36] <Dre4m> ill go try ti
[18:36] <dimberti> Hi all.  Is there a way to set up ubuntu to boot in bash?
[18:37] <h4mx0r> is there a simpler way of doing this? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[18:37] <Dre4m> h4mx0r: plz be more specific
[18:37] <Solver> dimberti: you mean boot without a gui?
[18:37] <dimberti> Right.
[18:37] <lasivian> how do I symlink one directory to another?
[18:38] <lasivian> and will a binary be fooled?
[18:38] <arcsighter> bazhang I'm in another user I'll test
[18:38] <Solver> dimberti: you can set the run level to be say 3 instead of 5.  5 normally is defined as starting the gui
[18:38] <Baughn> lasivian: Same way as you symlink anything else, and any program that doesn't explicitly check for symlinks will be "fooled".
[18:38] <Dre4m> this is gonna sound like an insane question BAZHANG . . . but where is the program now its installed?
[18:38] <Dre4m> I cant find it
[18:38] <Pici> Solver, dimberti: Ubuntu does not setup runlevels like that.
[18:38] <usersam> cpu maxes out when playing mp4 files and makes movie skip, is it worth burning to dvd and playing from there? would that be ledd cpu intensive?
[18:38] <Solver> dimberti: nowe historially this was done by editing /etc/inittab
[18:38] <Baughn> Dre4m: dpkg -L cheese | grep bin
[18:38] <lasivian> Baughn: do I need a "real" directory to link from?
[18:38] <usersam> less?
[18:38] <Solver> Pici: I was just about to ask if there had been some change
[18:38] <pw-> I would like to know how to turn off HDD spindown, ever since the past two acpi updates, my HDD spins down several times in a minute, and spins back up only a few seconds later (this is on a laptop)
[18:38] <Baughn> lasivian: As opposed to?
[18:39] <Dre4m> Baughn: im new to ubuntu that makes no sense lol?
[18:39] <lasivian> mkdir directory, symlink -l directory directory2
[18:39] <RodMcKay> hi all, i want to upgrade my hardy to intrepid. last time i tried the proprietary fglrx (ati) driver wasn't available. is it available now?
[18:39] <dimberti> Solver:  And I'm assuming you can't do that anymore?
[18:39] <Pici> dimberti: If you want to always boot to text mode, sudo update-rc.d gdm remove
[18:39] <r0y4l> hi guys. if i execute hcitool scan i get "no such device" i don't get bt working. i always find howtos getting it working with a dongle but not with built-in bluetooth as i have.
[18:39] <Dre4m> found it
[18:39] <John`anderson>  how do i replace the ubuntu icon in the taskbar with the original Gnome 'foot' icon?? (asked before but lost logs of howto)
[18:39] <raylu> lasivian: no
[18:39] <hieu_> hi i was trying to install prozilla and this error come up "./configure: 702: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" what to do?
[18:39] <raylu> lasivian: in fact, it shouldn't exist prior to linking
[18:39] <Solver> dimberti: they changed stuff and I haven't caught up yet :) i use ubuntu/debian/solaris/etc :)
[18:39] <lasivian> thanks
[18:39] <Baughn> Dre4m: It's a terminal command. "dpkg -L cheese" lists all the files in cheese, | pipes its output into grep's input, "grep bin" discards all lines that don't contain bin, eg. don't refer to an executable.
[18:39] <dimberti> Solver:  Ah.
[18:40] <Scunizi> Dre4m: type what Baughn gave you in a terminal and it will tell you where it's located and what the binary name is to start the program
[18:40] <dimberti> Pici:  I got nothing to lose, I'll give it a try, thanks.
[18:40] <pw-> John`anderson: try this http://www.ubuntu-tweak.com download that program, within its settings you can change the icon to anything you wish
[18:40] <arcsighter> bazhang : this sucks: I'm in another user with visual effects enabled and I dont get slowdowns
[18:40] <Dre4m> I fond it now man
[18:40] <John`anderson> ty
[18:40] <pw-> I would like to know how to turn off HDD spindown, ever since the past two acpi updates, my HDD spins down several times in a minute, and spins back up only a few seconds later (this is on a laptop)
[18:40] <Dre4m> Baughn: it looks dark and dingy . . its proved my point its not the program im using the cam just looks totally terrible on ubuntu why would that be? whats a fix?
[18:40] <xjunior> how can I get the newest version of ONE package?
[18:40] <simplexio> h4mx0r: not really.. you may have problems with right but those are quite easy to fix
[18:41] <hieu_> what does the "./" command do?
[18:41] <bazhang> arcsighter, so the new user has a more reasonable response rate?
[18:41] <Scunizi> Dre4m: could be just the drivers.  The cam might be one that they have struggled with to reverse engineer the drivers for.
[18:41] <pw-> hieu_ it executes the program you put after the command
[18:41] <Solver> hieu_: references the current working direcort.
[18:41] <neosuki> Hey guys, I'm trying to rip an audio cd using lame in command line mode
[18:41] <Solver> hieu_: so ./ls in /bin would execute /bin/ls
[18:42] <Dre4m> apparently its "FULLY SUPPORTED" this cam . . . im using no installed drivers just ubuntu default you know?
[18:42] <Radtoo> neosuki: you sure you don't want to use some helper like k3b? :)
[18:42] <Dre4m> any advice?
[18:42] <Baughn> Dre4m: Whatever makes you think it's not the program?
[18:42] <Dre4m> its totally gay im having to dual boot to windows to just to use a webcam
[18:42] <Baughn> Dre4m: It could just be that the windows program automatically adjusts brightness, and cheese doesn't
[18:42] <neosuki> but though i can see in nautilus browser the audio cd content, how can I ls the files in the terminal?
[18:42] <akravets> damn, read a story about that girl and Ubuntu..,hope people will try to find more about Ubuntu now...
[18:42] <Solver> akravets: :)
[18:42] <hieu_> so stuff that are in green are "programs"?
[18:42] <albuntu> can anyone tell me how to edit the gnome panels in chroot ? i mean not graphically but using gconf etc. thank you
[18:43] <Solver> if she gave up on school so easily she'd drop out for some other reason later
[18:43] <akravets> i mean, my wife and 5 year old daughter use Ubuntu and no problems there...
[18:43] <simplexio> arcsighter: probably your config are messed on another account.. easiest way to "fix" it is "sudo cp  ~olduser/* ~newuser/ -R"
[18:43] <neosuki> wot could be the right path for an audio cd if i want to browse from the terminal/cmd line?
[18:43] <akravets> my mom uses it, really
[18:43] <Dre4m> No, when i use msn its fine, AMCAP its fine, record agent its fine preview mode its fine . . . . as soon as its in ubuntu its dark and looks awfull :(, im having to duel boot to use msn if I cant get this sorted :(
[18:43] <Scunizi> Dre4m: try a different program to control the cam.. digicam or check it out in ekiga (voip client, already installed)
[18:43] <Pici> akravets: Please join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion.
[18:43] <simplexio> arcsighter: probably some . starting directory has some insane config option turned on
[18:43] <Solver> hieu_: depends on your setup.  if you do ls -l you will see the permissions on the left
[18:43] <Solver> hieu_: "x" means execute.  worth doing some reading on permissions
[18:43] <Scunizi> Dre4m: also try in aMSN (in the repo's)
[18:43] <akravets> Pici, ok. didn't know that channel existed
[18:44] <Dre4m> i use AMSN
[18:44] <arcsighter> simplexio: how to clean
[18:44] <hieu_> no like in ubuntu after i do a ls command, stuff appears in different colors
[18:44] <hieu_> and wondering which one are "executable"
[18:44] <Pici> hieu_: green
[18:44] <tenang> guys teach me what does chmod do and how should you use it correctly, with sudo or not?
[18:44] <hieu_> ok
[18:44] <Radtoo> neosuki: Audio cds don't really have files... you can show tracks with say, cdparanoia, but...
[18:44] <Pici> tenang: Start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[18:44] <neosuki> ubuntu has auto mounted my audio cd, what's the absolute path?
[18:45] <Solver> tenang: change permissions on a file.  I recommend starting here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
[18:45] <kkkduifjalsdd> is there a way to change the resolution manually into non standard resolutions in inteprid?
[18:45] <Pici> neosuki: most likely /media/cdrom
[18:45] <albuntu> neosuki: /media/cdrom
[18:45] <hieu_> and i was trying to install prozilla, and i did ./configure command, but it come up error " 702: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" what's htis mean?
[18:45] <Solver> tenang: seriously, it can say it better than we can on irc
[18:45] <neosuki> Radtoo: but I need to process those tracks using lame
[18:45] <simplexio> arcsighter: like i said easiest way is just move all "importand" files to newuser, check that all needed stuff is there and remove olduser
[18:45] <Scunizi> neosuki: probably /media/cdrom0
[18:45] <Dre4m> im a little baffled why your telling me its the program lol, . . . if the basic default preview is dark and horrible on my webcam and every app i use in ubuntu then surly thats conclusive its the ubuntu driver . . . xp run its perfect in many apps too
[18:45] <neosuki> /media/cdrom0 doesn't show any files when i did ls
[18:45] <albuntu> neosuki: /media/cdrom
[18:45] <tenang> kk ty
[18:46] <JC_Denton_> is there a command to set the dns server(s)?
[18:46] <arcsighter> simplexio: permissions, it will take a lot, sorry, not an option
[18:46] <nickrud> neosuki, audio cds don't really mount like an audio cd does
[18:46] <simplexio> arcsighter: not really.. in new user direntory just do 'chown newuser:newuser * -R
[18:46] <Radtoo> neosuki: Well, they're not files yet... cdparanoia can do the ripping, lame the encoding. Seriously tho, use a gui
[18:46] <neosuki> albuntu, Scunizi, Pici, both ls /media/cdrom /media/cdrom0 is showing nothing
[18:46] <nickrud> neosuki, erm, *like a data disk does
[18:46] <arcsighter> yes sure
[18:46] <arcsighter> but I wasn't talking about home dir here
[18:47] <Pici> neosuki: see Radtoo's comment
[18:47] <arcsighter> my entire harddrive a
[18:47] <Pici> !enter | arcsighter
[18:47] <simplexio> arcsighter: what you were talking ?
[18:47] <neosuki> Radtoo: if not thru gui, no means of doing that using cmd line?
[18:47] <arcsighter> simplexio: the entire hdd has established permissions
[18:47] <albuntu> neosuki: go to computer > cdrom and find the path and the files there
[18:47] <Scunizi> neosuki: that's because audio cd's are really files. rip them first if you want to see them. or look at them via rhythmbox
[18:47] <nickrud> neosuki, sound-juicer works nicely; if you want fine control, look at grip
[18:47] <Radtoo> neosuki: No... actually I just told you what the other program would be, but...
[18:47] <arcsighter> and also I don't wanna loose thunderbird-firefox-etc configuration files
[18:47] <arcsighter> I'll try to remove gnome configuration files
[18:48] <arcsighter> ok give 10 mins
[18:48] <Solver> JC_Denton_: your local dns servers are defined in /etc/resolv.conf
[18:48] <neosuki> Radtoo: Ubuntu has some default extractor of tracks. but if i wish to use lame encoder, how can i achieve?
[18:48] <tenang> so now anyone here know how to gain access to /root/usr/ from terminal because it's not letting me what am I doing wrong (cd /usr/)
[18:48] <Solver> tenang: do you have permission to enter the directory?
[18:49] <tenang> you do if you are using sudo su right?
[18:49] <JC_Denton_> Solver:  thanks
[18:49] <jpds> tenang: sudo -s
[18:49] <Radtoo> neosuki: Use abcde (thats an actual application) if you really need to get it done on the console... It does what you want. Yes. Lame as well.
[18:49] <Solver> exactly
[18:49] <Solver> tenang: that will give you a root shell and you can then cd into /root and under it
[18:49] <ebenton> hey there, anyone have any experience with libper-perl in 8.10? I just ran into a strange report when I performed an apt-get install that reported a "Broken package"
[18:49] <ebenton> that would be libpar-perl
[18:50] <tenang> god I love you
[18:50] <Solver> JC_Denton_: NP.  DHCP normally sets them for you, if that is relevant
[18:50] <Dre4m> im gonna have to go bk to xp I can't believe it
[18:50] <neosuki> Radtoo: but for lame we need to provide the path of the track files, isn't it?
[18:50] <tenang> and what's the command to delete say a folder from shell?
[18:50] <kalpik> tenang, rm -r
[18:50] <Solver> rmdir to delete an empty directory
[18:50] <simplexio> tenang: rmdir for empty dir, rm -rf directory if there is stuff, use with care
[18:50] <Solver> tenang: be careful with rm -r or rm -rf.  I mean it
[18:51] <JC_Denton_> Solver:  I was aware but the local dns server is unreliable
[18:51] <frankS2> web browsing in ubuntu is extremely slow? common issue?
[18:51] <simplexio> tenang: rm -rf / for example deletes everything
[18:51] <Pici> !danger | simplexio
[18:51] <Radtoo> neosuki: No. Lame works on files, not tracks. Synopsis: lame [options] <infile> <outfile>
[18:51] <Solver> JC_Denton_: ah :)  dhcp will try to over-write them for you later. that can be stopped
[18:51] <JC_Denton_> Solver dns host addresses are white space seperated?
[18:51] <mattias_> i need lil help with Festival
[18:51] <Pici> !ask | mattias_
[18:51] <tenang> I need to delete a theme file so I think ill use that command lol
[18:51] <Solver> JC_Denton_: one per line preceded by the word nameserver
[18:51] <frasc> ciao
[18:51] <frasc> !list
[18:51] <Scunizi> neosuki: if you're trying to rip an audio cd use "ripperX" .. should be in the repo's.
[18:52] <frasc> !list
[18:52] <neosuki> Radtoo: so ur suggestion is to use cdparanoia for extracting the tracks then can encode using lame?
[18:52] <simplexio> tenang: like i said use with care -r means that it removes all stuff under that directory
[18:52] <ryker65> should the cups, start/restart commands I've entered have an output or show cups running in system monitor, neither happened after password
[18:52] <Solver> tenang: btw - that's directory not folder in unix speak ;)
[18:52] <mattias_> in what folder do i have to place text files in to make festival read them with terminal command (tts "filename" nil)
[18:52] <hieu_> need help installing prozilla, i do ./configure and come up with "702: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
[18:52] <harlemdavvey> guys what's the name of that program you can setup a password for your kernel on the bios??
[18:52] <muzanaka> HI!
[18:52] <Pici> mattias_: The current directory.
[18:52] <tenang> ah I see
[18:53] <tenang> same as in dos speak
[18:53] <mattias_> indeed
[18:53] <mattias_> ill try that
[18:53] <Solver> harlemdavvey: that really seems like an error in the configure script
[18:53] <JC_Denton_> Solver: how would you stop dhcp from modifying the file?
[18:53] <jpds> Pici, simplexio: http://pthree.org/2009/01/07/rm-rf/
[18:53] <Solver> harlemdavvey: sorry, wrong person
[18:53] <Radtoo> neosuki: Thats not my suggestion, but an option. The suggestion is that you skip learning on how to operate this part-by-part and use some helper application like abcde (console) or k3b or sound-juicer that lets you focus on the important things.
[18:53] <Solver> hieu_: that really seems like an error in the configure script
[18:53] <Pici> jpds: Irregardless, its still not something we want to enourange.
[18:53] <hieu_> faulty package?
[18:53] <mattias_> wooo!
[18:53] <mattias_> it works!
[18:53] <mattias_> thanks
[18:53] <jpds> Pici: ;-)
[18:53] <Solver> JC_Denton_: if you are using dhclient which is likely you can edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and tell it not to update nameservers
[18:53] <Solver> JC_Denton_: there is a more drastic way :)
[18:54] <Solver> you can make the file immutable so not even root will alter it
[18:54] <muzanaka> I'm from Ukraine
[18:54] <muzanaka> )))
[18:54] <muzanaka> Crimea
[18:54] <muzanaka> )
[18:54] <Dre4m> so thats it the conclusion is webcam support for linux sucks so I read on the forums . . . I can't belive im gonna have to dual boot or uninstall ubuntu and use xp from now on to use a webcam such a shame
[18:54] <FloodBot1> muzanaka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:54] <JC_Denton_> Solver: that sounds like just the solution, the former
[18:54] <harlemdavvey> i've used a program i setup a bios password yesterday but i don't know how it is named  and i don't remember its name... can you help me find it??
[18:54] <Solver> JC_Denton_: it is preferable
[18:54] <muzanaka> Русские есть?
[18:54] <Solver> JC_Denton_: know about how to set and clear immutability is useful though
[18:54] <albuntu> !ru > muzanaka
[18:54] <Scunizi> Dre4m: find another cheap webcam and try it..
[18:54] <Solver> JC_Denton_: useful for stoopid closed source apps that over-write files
[18:54] <Dre4m> keep buying webcams untill one works?
[18:55] <neosuki> Radtoo: ok, i'll use abcde. thanks!
[18:55] <Dre4m> lol your joking?
[18:55] <Solver> JC_Denton_: man chattr & lsattr if you want to read about it
[18:55] <albuntu> !al > albuntu
[18:55] <Naad> hi:D
[18:55] <albuntu> :S
[18:55] <Dre4m> iin xp = perfect in ubuntu = sucks
[18:55] <Radtoo> neosuki: Np. Have fun. :)
[18:55] <slayton> what do I need to do to prevent my computer from booting to X, I just want it to boot to the terminal
[18:55] <albuntu> !sq > albuntu
[18:55] <jonathan_> any one has got any idea why i am unable to download a.torrent file in order to start my torrent client?
[18:55] <simplexio> jpds: nice.. havent noticed that
[18:56] <JC_Denton_> Solver: thanks, will do. Every bit of knowledge comes in handy...
[18:56] <JC_Denton_> if only for showing off :p
[18:56] <albuntu> jonathan_: what do you mean you cant download a torrent file ?
[18:56] <albuntu> jonathan_: you cant download the .torrent file or cant open one with a client ?
[18:56] <Solver> JC_Denton_: for sure.  chattr/lsattr are hardly know but they are useful
[18:56] <gfather> hello guys
[18:57] <gfather> anyone can send me the bootlog of ubuntu ?
[18:57] <muzanaka> People
[18:57] <muzanaka> help me
[18:57] <albuntu> muzanaka: state your problem
[18:57] <JC_Denton_> Thanks for the help solver
[18:57] <bazhang> muzanaka, #ubuntu-ru
[18:57] <harlemdavvey> is there any way to see what applications you installed yesterday??
[18:57] <Solver> JC_Denton_: np.  good luck :)
[18:58] <Solver> harlemdavvey: you could check /var/cache/apt for files with a write date of <24 hrs
[18:58] <Solver> harlemdavvey: unless you've cleaned it
[18:58] <harlemdavvey> solver: the problem is that i've cleaned it..:(
[18:58] <Solver> oh
[18:58] <Solver> harlemdavvey: maybe some advanced apt feature I don't know then sorry :)
[18:59] <Liantedan> Just installed Ubuntu on a software RAID5, but I keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot
[18:59] <simplexio> harlemdavvey: or use find -mtime -1 -print to shoe files that are modified last day
[18:59] <albuntu> harlemdavvey: try aptitude search name
[18:59] <jonathan_> albuntu: i cant download the .torrent file
[18:59] <simplexio> harlemdavvey: or use ctime which is for create time if i recall right
[19:00] <gfather> guys anyone can send me the boot log of ubuntu ?
[19:00] <albuntu> jonathan_: than i think its an isp problem. its not ubuntus. what does the browser says when you try to download one ?
[19:00] <_brujo> hi
[19:01] <jonathan_>  albuntu: it sometimes loads till a random % and just hangs and sometimes it just does not d/l at all
[19:01] <harlemdavvey> i don't know guys.. i have ubuntu tweak but i don't have the function to setup the bios password
[19:01] <harlemdavvey> and i'm sure there are not so many programs that accomplish this task
[19:02] <danes_> I know this is not the appropriate channel to ask this, but I do not know where else to do it. Anyone knows of an emulator to check if a usb drive made bootable works without restarting the computer?
[19:02] <albuntu> jonathan_: i think that has to do with the file you are downloading or with your internet connection. it doesnt has to do with ubuntu at all
[19:02] <jonathan_>  albuntu: any direction you can point me towards?
[19:02] <tenang> so I've navigated to my themes dir in shell can anyone give me an example of how to use that -r command on a dir called example?
[19:03] <albuntu> jonathan_: try downloading another torrent file , from another place
[19:03] <jonathan_>  albuntu : i am sure it might be in my settings?
[19:03] <simplexio> danes_: not sure but qemu / virtualbox or vmware could help
[19:04] <tenang> might sound peculiar but I noticed my torrent files downloaded super slow on ubuntu when I used to dual boot
[19:04] <danes_> simplexio, thanks, that was the one I was looking for, but I couldnt remember the name
[19:04] <quiksilver> im trying to install subversion
[19:04] <simplexio> danes_: i know for fact that virtualbox binary release allow using usb as "raw" device
[19:04] <frankS2> web browsing in ubuntu is extremely slow? common issue?
[19:04] <quiksilver> when i type apt-get install subversion in the terminal i get an error and it asks me if im root
[19:04] <frankS2> quicksilver_, add sudo before apt-get
[19:04] <albuntu> quiksilver: sudo before that
[19:05] <Slart> tenang: are you using the same torrent client
[19:05] <_brujo> quicksilver have you tried to execute "sudo apt-get instal subversion"?
[19:05] <tenang> no I wasn't and no im not dual booting anymore
[19:05] <albuntu> frankS2: mine is ok. maybe its a problem of your internet connection
[19:05] <tenang> I was using the standard client with ubuntu
[19:05] <Slart> tenang: perhaps you need to forward ports or similar so you can be in active mode?
[19:06] <ryker65> possibly could someone tell me how to find the proper "device node" for the printer to manually find the device using the HP software, dmg | grep par outputs mention both "lp0: using paraport0" and "paraport_pc" but they are,  associated with device url's. I'm not sure how to work with this and cannot connect to the web interface for cups
[19:06] <xjunior> I need to install the latest version of libmagick10, how do I do it without affect the rest of the system?
[19:06] <jonathan_>  albuntu: i always used to use piratebay and now it seems to be idle but i just tried another file using mininova and straight away worked. Any idea why?
[19:07] <simplexio> jonathan_: isp blocking tpb trackers ?
[19:07] <gfather> guys really , anyone can send me ubuntu boot log ?
[19:07] <jonathan_>  albuntu: any work around?
[19:07] <albuntu> jonathan_: than its a piratebay problem. i dont know
[19:07] <Liantedan> Just installed Ubuntu on a software RAID5, but I keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot. Can someone give me some advise on fixing it ? This is the error log : http://baltakov.dyndns.org/noBots/ubuntu/checkfs.txt
[19:08] <simplexio> jonathan_: usually isp use dns blocking. so get tbp tracker ip addresees and add them to hosts is one solution
[19:08] <jonathan_>  albuntu: thanks for the info.
[19:08] <Slack_> whats the best video player for linux
[19:09] <albuntu> jonathan_: np :)
[19:09] <bouteill> The one with gnome is decent. Otherwise you have vlc for linux
[19:09] <jonathan_> simplexio: i 'll try that. Any idea how to find out the ip address of tpb tracker?
[19:09] <albuntu> Slack_: it really depends on what you like
[19:09] <Slack_> albuntu: right now i just have movie player
[19:09] <earthian> :(
[19:09] <bouteill> Hi guys, I'm willing to upgrade Feisty. Looks like it became very complex since Gutsy is also outdated.
[19:09] <bouteill> Any hint ?
[19:09] <albuntu> Slack_: i like kaffeine even if i am using gnome
[19:10] <jrib> !upgrade | bouteill
[19:10] <Slack_> albuntu: does it stream .asx
[19:11] <bouteill> Does not work. Its all complaining about missing repositories (they've been removed as the target is also outdated).
[19:11] <grindking> what's best terminal app with clickable links
[19:11] <albuntu> Slack_: never heard of .asx
[19:11] <tenang> rm -rt don't work deleting a directory what does?
[19:11] <grindking> rm -rf
[19:11] <jrib> bouteill: you did not read what ubottu sent you
[19:12] <simplexio> bouteill: /home/ on own partition ?
[19:12] <temppy> bouteill: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[19:12] <frankS2> tenang, rmdir
[19:13] <kkkduifjalsdd> is it possible to edit x11org.conf in inteprid?
[19:13] <grindking> xorg.conf
[19:13] <temppy> bouteill: that link tells you how to upgrade your sources
[19:13] <bouteill> Simplexio: I can make a rsync, not an issue. Temppy: read this, does not work anymore (both feisty and gutsy are outdated. I get 404 everywhere)
[19:13] <jrib> kkkduifjalsdd: there's no such file, but you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Why do you want to though?
[19:13] <kkkduifjalsdd> yes i meant that ;)
[19:13] <grindking> you can edit it all you want
[19:13] <simplexio> kkkduifjalsdd: i think you mean xorg.conf, and answer is yes but you probably dont need to
[19:13] <temppy> bouteill: look at the link I posted, I sent it to you for that reason
[19:14] <jrib> bouteill: pastebin the errors you are getting after reading the links you have been given
[19:14] <kkkduifjalsdd> jrib: i need a non standard resolution for starting a game
[19:14] <simplexio> bouteill: then fastest and easiest way probably is just reinstall usinf latest livecd
[19:14] <jrib> kkkduifjalsdd: you can probably just use xrandr before starting the game
[19:14] <grindking> kkkduifjalsdd: are you using nvidia
[19:14] <bouteill> Temppy: I did it. It fixed the errors when updating to the latest feisty.
[19:15] <kkkduifjalsdd> jrib: how do i do that
[19:15] <bouteill> It does not fix the problem with missing gutsy parts
[19:15] <kkkduifjalsdd> grindking: no intel
[19:15] <grindking> oh nm
[19:15] <quiksilver> get-apt command not found in my terminal?
[19:15] <jrib> !apt > quiksilver
[19:15] <neosuki> quiksilver: its apt-get
[19:15] <krazyfingerz47> how can i fix my audio? i installed ubuntu soon and i get no audio
[19:15] <temppy> bouteill: did you try using the update manager?
[19:15] <jrib> kkkduifjalsdd: I don't the syntax offhand.  wiki.ubuntu.com/X has some documentation on it I think (and its man page of course)
[19:16] <krazyfingerz47> im full upgraded already
[19:16] <Pici> albuntu: gconftool is the cli tool for modifying gconf
[19:16] <simplexio> krazyfingerz47: check sound levels, and raise all of them to middle
[19:16] <ardchoille> bouteill: Feisty is no longer being updated, and I hope you aren't mixing Feisty and Gutsy packages
[19:16] <kkkduifjalsdd> jrib: thx
[19:16] <albuntu> Pici: thank you
[19:16] <bouteill> Its a server with only ssh access. I use the do-release-upgrade command
[19:16] <Danu> Hello please anyone knows how to convert wmv to avi?, i used this command : mencoder infile.wmv -ofps 23.976 -ovc lavc -oac copy -o outfile.avi but it didn't work
[19:17] <krazyfingerz47> simplexio: sound levels are good but i get no sound
[19:17] <grindking> i am saddened by how many crashes i get in firefox with amd64 :/
[19:17] <tenang> kk im doing rm -rf Overglossed               so what is  wrong with this command? I even used the variant /Overglossed/
[19:17] <linduxed__> two questions: 1. will "aptitude install kde" give me kde4?     2. if ive done "aptitude install kde", will "aptitude purge kde" remove ALL of the previously installed packages?
[19:17] <jrib> tenang: what are you trying to delete?
[19:17] <jrib> !kde4 | linduxed__
[19:17] <genii> linduxed__: I think you rather want kubuntu-desktop and not just kde
[19:17] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: probably u can try changing the device and see
[19:17] <tom_eats_lives> !amap
[19:17] <tenang> a theme dir
[19:18] <jrib> tenang: where is it located?
[19:18] <sahil_> danu you have to install restricted codecs first
[19:18] <quiksilver> does  pidgin messenger autolog?
[19:18] <temppy> bouteill: yeah, you may have to start pastbining errors
[19:18] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: im good with xp, maybe i need proper drivers
[19:18] <Lostchild> Anyone know why my monitor takes up to 5 minutes to come back on after the screen is shutdown. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04
[19:18] <Danu> Mr. sahil_ i have them
[19:18] <madhatter1> hey guys.. this is kinda out there i know.. but ive been messing with festival and perlbox-voice.. and im wondering if there is a way to implement a chatbot with festival (so I can converse with it)
[19:18] <Liantedan> I just installed Intrepid on a software RAID5, but I keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot. Can someone give me some advise on fixing it ? This is the error log : http://baltakov.dyndns.org/noBots/ubuntu/checkfs.txt
[19:18] <linduxed__> genii: hmmm, that might be true
[19:18] <tenang> usr/share/themes/
[19:18] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: is alsa installed?
[19:18] <linduxed__> genii: but what about my second question?
[19:18] <barisha> can i get help with installing adobe photoshop
[19:19] <Danu> Mr. sahil_ i can see them (not very good though),. but i wanna convert it to avi
[19:19] <linduxed__> jrib: ok, what about my second question?
[19:19] <sahil_> install avidemux
[19:19] <jrib> tenang: how did it end up there?
[19:19] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: no whats that?
[19:19] <jrib> !who | tenang
[19:19] <tenang> I installed it lol
[19:19] <jrib> linduxed__: no
[19:19] <genii> linduxed__: I didn't make any attempt to answer your second question.
[19:19] <sahil_> you have tried avidemux!!
[19:19] <tenang> !tab
[19:19] <linduxed__> genii: thats why i hoped for a followup :-P
[19:20] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: it's an audio library which is generic
[19:20] <tenang> !tab tenang
[19:20] <tenang> !tenang
[19:20] <bouteill> Thanks guys. I think I'll try to fix it myself. I was just curious if a known fix existed for this "outdated" problem
[19:20] <ryker65> running Ubuntu 8.10 need to find filesystem device node to attempt to manually find my HP LaserJet 4000, printer was installed and working  had an error and diappeared. how can I find the node to manually find device?
[19:20] <jrib> tenang: just put "jrib: " before your responses to me
[19:20] <edyBUNTU> vortei...tá mó tempestade aqui, meu computer reiniciou!
[19:20] <Danu> Mr sahil_ avidemux :S isn't an Editor?
[19:20] <bouteill> quit
[19:20] <quiksilver> holy cow it takes forever to install subversion
[19:20] <Pici> !Br | edyBUNTU
[19:21] <sahil_> its a video editor
[19:21] <sahil_> look in synaptic
[19:21] <tenang> jrib I installed it  and it went there by default on its own
[19:21] <Danu> ok
[19:21] <mikebeecham> hi guys.this is a strange one...is there any software available in linux that cvan tell me what an encrypted password is?  I want to take my details from my router to a wireless router, but it's so long ago that I dont know what the password is?
[19:21] <jrib> tenang: how did you install it?
[19:21] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: so what should i do
[19:21] <tenang> system.apperance theme manager I dragged it into it
[19:21] <grindking> mikebeecham: reset the router
[19:22] <Lostchild> I'm running Hardy with an nvidia card. I need help figuring out why it takes my display up to 5 minutes to wake up. All the logs I have check revealed no immediately obvious errors.
[19:22] <deany> just seen there is a google software repo.. anything good on it?
[19:22] <jrib> tenang: that wouldn't install it there
[19:22] <mikebeecham> grindking...not the password to the router, my login password for the internet connection
[19:22] <deany> deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
[19:22] <grindking> call your isp?
[19:22] <icewaterman> how can i find hard links on a filesystem?
[19:23] <icewaterman> i am only interested in hardlinks in general, not hardlinks to a specific file
[19:23] <tenang> well it did in my case I don't know what to say all my other themes are there too
[19:23] <mikebeecham> grindking: so, you're not aware of anything, because I've actually thought of those things, but you're not answering my question!!!
[19:23] <tenang> to jrib
[19:23] <ehazlett> i have a script that uses parted to remove partitions and re-create them dynamically based on drive cylinder size.  But I am getting different cylinder counts before and after the process?
[19:23] <jrib> tenang: are you running stuff with sudo or what?
[19:23] <joerack> hello
[19:24] <grindking> it makes no sense to try to crack an encrypted passwd to use the internet connection provided by your isp when you could simply have your password changed or reset or told to you if you would just call them
[19:24] <tenang> jrib running with sudo -s yep
[19:24] <sahil_> no wvdial pre installed in server so how am i suppose to connect it to internet
[19:24] <jrib> tenang: don't do that.... that's BAD
[19:24] <sahil_> ubuntu page told me to install some other software, but i have no net
[19:24] <joerack> I am experiencing problems with my notebook speakers, I am about to remove linux and Install Windows again, because I've tried everything... Does anybody have a solution for this?
[19:24] <joerack> Thanks
[19:24] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: install alsa-base alsa-source alsa-tools alsa-utils
[19:24] <simplexio> sahil_: getting packages ther by another means
[19:24] <jrib> sahil_: check if it's on the live cd, otherwise:
[19:24] <sahil_> joerack whats the problem
[19:24] <jrib> !offline | sahil_
[19:25] <Lostchild> Joecrack explain your problem please
[19:25] <pJok> is it bad when 8.10 64bit beeps at you when you try to boot by pressing F1 it after a fresh install?
[19:25] <joerack> I am experiencing problems with my notebook speakers, I am about to remove linux and Install Windows again, because I've tried everything... Does anybody have a solution for this?
[19:25] <joerack> oops sry
[19:25] <jrib> tenang: use 'gksudo nautilus' to delete that directory you were talking about.  In the future, don't sudo stuff you shouldn't
[19:25] <pJok> and it keeps on beeping at me
[19:25] <pJok> every 30 seconds or so
[19:25] <tenang> jrib so how do I delete the dir?
[19:25] <sahil_> i will try that
[19:25] <simplexio> sahil_: nowdays standart way to connect to net is using ethernet or wifi
[19:25] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: Downloading ;)
[19:25] <Lostchild> joerack are you sure your soundcard is working?
[19:25] <sahil_> joeracj will u tell ur prob
[19:25] <tenang> jrib how do I access gksudo nautilus?
[19:25] <sahil_> or u gonna  just cry
[19:25] <joerack> I am experiencing problems with my notebook speakers, I am about to remove linux and Install Windows again, because I've tried everything...PROBLEM: No sound is heard . I have tried everything, and yes my sound works under windows
[19:26] <wall-e_> does anyone know how to completely reset compiz and all the eyecandy stuff for ubuntu?
[19:26] <jrib> tenang: type 'gksudo nautilus' in a terminal without the quotes
[19:26] <wall-e_> iv tryed almost everything
[19:26] <sahil_> whats the prob joerack
[19:26] <wall-e_> ?
[19:26] <jrib> wall-e_: ccsm has profiles.  create a new one?
[19:26] <joerack> sahil_: NO sound from notebook speakers
[19:26] <Lostchild> wall-e have you installed ccsm? It will allow you to alter the settings.
[19:26] <jrib> wall-e_: or press "reset to defaults" i guess
[19:26] <sarmisak> hi all
[19:26] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: what should i do now? it should work?
[19:27] <neosuki> joerack: did u tried troubleshooting?
[19:27] <xnox> Hello everyone =D I've installed ubuntu and when grub boots (I hear music) my monitor says: out of frequency, VF should be below 160, but it is 174. Can you please help me to fix this. Right now I'm using tty (emacs+erc).
[19:27] <sahil_> try alsamixer
[19:27] <xnox> sorry not grub but gdm
[19:27] <pentaside> What does it mean when a file have a padlock icon?
[19:27] <wall-e_> iv tryed making new profiles and the settings either stay or dont change
[19:27] <Cpudan80> xnox: run the xconfigure
[19:27] <jrib> pentaside: means you can't write to it I think
[19:27] <Lostchild> pentaside it means that file is locked to you.
[19:27] <pJok> anyone got any idea on how i continue?
[19:27] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: use alsamixer or alsamixergui to configure ur settings
[19:27] <wall-e_> iv tryed purg the system but its like the files are perment
[19:27] <Cpudan80> xnox: sudo dpkg xserver-xorg
[19:28] <xnox> Cpudan80: thankx I'll try that now
[19:28] <tenang> jrib kk ill use it from now on and ty it worked like a charm
[19:28] <Cpudan80> xnox: sorry thats wrong
[19:28] <Lostchild> pentaside ie you don't have permissions to view or alter the file/directory.
[19:28] <Cpudan80> xnox: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:28] <pentaside> Lostchild: Anyway to unlock that file?
[19:28] <pentaside> sudo?
[19:28] <amirman> anybody have any good recommendations for checking the health of an ntfs partition on my drive from ubuntu? i've read a little about SMART, how do i check the SMART info on my drive?
[19:28] <Lostchild> pentaside, you can change permissions with chmod or open a root nautilus window "sudo nautilus"
[19:29] <Cpudan80> Lostchild: sudo nautilus is not a good idea
[19:29] <Lostchild> pentaside, obviously you should be careful
[19:29] <jrib> pentaside: what file exactly?  You shouldn't need to do this
[19:29] <Cpudan80> gksudo nautilus would be better ...... but still not a good idea
[19:29] <Lostchild> Cpudan80 your right, thus the warning.
[19:29] <Liantedan> I just installed Intrepid and keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot. Can someone give me some advise/help please ? This is the error log : http://baltakov.dyndns.org/noBots/ubuntu/checkfs.txt
[19:29] <pentaside> I'm trying to install Photoshop via wine... the setup.exe file shows a lock.
[19:30] <sahil_> use gimp
[19:30] <joerack> neosuki: I have tried this WORKAROUND:
[19:30] <joerack> Press Alt+F2
[19:30] <joerack> Write: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
[19:30] <joerack> Enter your password
[19:30] <joerack> Add this line in the end of the document:
[19:30] <FloodBot1> joerack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:30] <pentaside> That ws directed towads jrib...
[19:30] <joerack> options snd-hda-intel model=laptop    But no dice
[19:30] <jrib> pentaside: you don't need to be able to write to the file
[19:30] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: doesnt work
[19:30] <barisha> can i please get help with installing photoshop on ubuntu?
[19:30] <icegod> hola
[19:30] <pentaside> So that isn't what is preventing me from executing the file?
[19:30] <sahil_> use wine
[19:30] <Baba_B00ie> barisha, you can't unless you use wine
[19:30] <jrib> barisha, pentaside: check appdb.winehq.org for their entry on photoshop
[19:30] <pJok> anyone?
[19:30] <hovis> Hey, what's a CLI command that will give me the details of a file/folder? (I'm trying to determine what the user:group is, I'm not sure if ls -l is giving me the group or the user)
[19:30] <pentaside> Barisha: Try Wine, that's what I'm doing right now.
[19:30] <barisha> i have used it
[19:30] <jrib> pentaside: how are you trying exactly?
[19:31] <urmel291> !wine | barisha
[19:31] <sahil_> what happened
[19:31] <Lostchild> pentaside, what command are you using to run the program
[19:31] <Baba_B00ie> barisha, just install gimp.. it's open source and it's imho by far better
[19:31] <barisha> and i installed photoshop
[19:31] <jrib> hovis: ls -ld whatever    user comes first
[19:31] <sahil_> then
[19:31] <barisha> and then i get error
[19:31] <Flannel> hovis: ls -l should give you both first user then group
[19:31] <sergeykish> hello, I have a question about upstart
[19:31] <Danu> Mr. sahil_ i can't see nothing about wmv in avidemux
[19:31] <Lostchild> Wine and Photoshop don't really get along well
[19:31] <aleite> Hello guys...
[19:31] <methinx> Does anyone know of a place that I can get Envy to work for my Geforce FX 5500 in ubuntu, Im running Intrepid as we speak
[19:31] <icegod> what's the recommended procedure for changing the order of init scripts? is there something that manages it, or should i just do the symlink renaming dance?
[19:31] <aleite> Rhythmbox breaks my ipod library, is it happening with someone else?
[19:31] <barisha> photoshop cs 3 and cs 4
[19:31] <barisha> i cant install
[19:31] <icegod> tangentially, why does networkmanager start after postfix?
[19:31] <icegod> (by default)
[19:32] <barisha> but cs2 i can install but it doesnt work
[19:32] <jrib> icegod: symlink renaming dance afaik
[19:32] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: wot u've tried?
[19:32] <icegod> jrib: thx
[19:32] <hovis> jrib, Flannel: wierd... it's only one - I'll work on it, thanks.
[19:32] <pentaside> Barisha: You can also try using vmware and running windows inside of linux.  then run photoshop in linux.  Not as efficient as wine, but that's a work around if you give up on wine.
[19:32] <Lostchild> barisha, I would recommend using gimp. Photoshop and wine don't really get alone well.
[19:32] <jrib> hovis: paste what you see
[19:32] <sahil_> then danu restricted codecs must be downloaded first
[19:32] <urmel291> !upstart | icegod
[19:32] <deany> Photoshop 7 works fine with Wine. here.
[19:32] <Danu> Mr. sahil_ i have them!
[19:32] <deany> 7 is all ive ever used tho
[19:32] <barisha> photoshop 7 is a bit older
[19:32] <Lostchild> Sorry should have said cs2 and up
[19:32] <barisha> and i am a web designer
[19:32] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: i installed it, then i go to preferences/audio and set all to alsa mixer right?
[19:33] <icegod> urmel291: thanks; is upstart in good working order now? last thing i saw on the internets said it was still in development...
[19:33] <deany> i dont know whats different in the new versions, but 7 does what i need it to do.
[19:33] <Cpudan80> I wouldnt use VMWare
[19:33] <Cpudan80> Use VirtualBox instead
[19:33] <Doonz> chmod 777 -r directory is the right structure for this command right?
[19:33] <xnox> Cpudan80: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. I've completed it but it is still out of frequency. BTW i'm running server kernel (i did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), someone else was using it as a server before me.
[19:33] <albuntu> !gconftool
[19:33] <deany> well, try the newer one in the newer Wine.. 1.1.3
[19:33] <sahil_> wait danu
[19:33] <Lostchild> Cpudan80 What's wrong with VMWare?
[19:33] <barisha> thanks guys :)
[19:33] <urmel291> icegod: well, it used by ubuntu
[19:33] <methinx> Can anyone point me in the Direction of the NVIDIA support for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex?
[19:33] <deany> you never know
[19:33] <icegod> *nod*
[19:33] <jrib> Doonz: I've never seen that command be a good idea.  What are you doing?
[19:33] <Cpudan80> Lostchild: that stupid new web interface for one thing
[19:33] <hovis> jrib: http://rafb.net/p/vLNizC44.html
[19:33] <Cpudan80> xnox: hrm...
[19:34] <Doonz> just allowing everyone access to a specific folder
[19:34] <sergeykish> how can I kill daemon if its sigterm signal overriden?
[19:34] <Cpudan80> xnox: and did you change the monitor setting?
[19:34]  * deany loyal virtualbox user now.
[19:34] <jrib> hovis: hrmm, you're on ubuntu?
[19:34] <jrib> Doonz: what folder?
[19:34] <Cpudan80> Lostchild: It also seemed to be much slower -- and had permissions problems for me
[19:34] <jedi06> i accidently rm *
[19:34] <Doonz> ohe in a home directory
[19:34] <xnox> Cpudan80: it didn't ask me for one. I'll do it again just in case i've missed it =\
[19:34] <jrib> sergeykish: what daemon?
[19:34] <matty__> join
[19:34] <pJok> i take it there's noone with any idea of how to actually boot ubuntu when the keyboad keeps beeping at you at the boot screen?
[19:34] <jedi06> how in the FUCK to i get my shit BACK
[19:34] <Cpudan80> Lostchild: it would constantly tell me I didnt have rights to startup the VMs
[19:34] <aleite> Rhythmbox breaks my ipod library everytime I use it...
[19:35] <methinx> Can anyone point me in the Direction of the NVIDIA support for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex?
[19:35] <jrib> !recover | jedi06
[19:35] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: is all set to max?
[19:35] <DanC> my sound is stuck... looking for help diagosing... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio seems out of date w.r.t 8.10... libflashsupport seems to be flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[19:35] <jrib> jedi06: please watch your language
[19:35] <krazyfingerz47> neosuki: yes
[19:35] <urmel291> icegod: i guess u can use "update-rc.d" to change the symlinks
[19:35] <quiksilver> how do   i update python using the terminal on ubuntu?
[19:35] <hovis> jrib: lol, I'm on the wrong box, this one's debian.  I'll ask them, thanks for your help.
[19:35] <sergeykish> jrib, created by myself
[19:35] <barisha> how do i install .deb file?
[19:35] <jrib> quiksilver: update-manager handles that for you
[19:35] <zleap> pJok, can you use a different keyboard
[19:35] <pJok> hrm
[19:35] <pJok> probably
[19:35] <quiksilver> how do i access that jrib?
[19:35] <jrib> barisha: what .deb file?  Why are you not using the repositories?
[19:35] <pJok> going to see if i have another usb keyboard
[19:36] <zleap> Barbosa_, dpkg -i package name
[19:36] <zleap> or man dpkg
[19:36] <Cpudan80> quicksilver_: sudo apt-get install python
[19:36] <zleap> first
[19:36] <jrib> sergeykish: you can send -9 with kill I guess
[19:36] <jedi06> I'm in a virtual os
[19:36] <barisha> what are repositories?
[19:36] <Cpudan80> quicksilver_: but as jrib said, the updatemanager will tell you if there are updates to the python packages
[19:36] <barisha> for virtual machine
[19:36] <jrib> quiksilver: it shows up in your system tray when you have updates if you are using GNOME
[19:36] <xnox> Cpudan80: it only asked for framebuffer and like 5 keyboard settings. nothing about monitor/video related
[19:36] <barisha> its deb file
[19:36] <timedroid> I'm having some problems with OpenGL in Intrepid 64-bit. Using an OpenGL widget in one of my QT programs sometimes results in corruption on draws. glxgears also leaves behind an image even after moving the window
[19:36] <Cpudan80> xnox: hrm...
[19:36] <neosuki> krazyfingerz47: try using lsmod command, to check ur hardware
[19:36] <sahil_> sudo apt-get install mencoder  do this danu
[19:37] <sahil_> sure it gonna help
[19:37] <timedroid> It also seems like my input freezes up when I switch to another terminal (alt+Ctrl+F2) and then back to X
[19:37] <pJok> zleap, same
[19:37] <zleap> hm
[19:37] <pJok> and there's no PS2 interface
[19:37] <zleap> so it just beeps when you try and boot
[19:37] <barisha> i have installed it thanks
[19:37] <pJok> it beeps every 30 seconds, its at the F1 Linux Disk1 screen
[19:38] <ryker65> could someone give me the proper syntax to use to message an individual in IRC chat I don't think I'm doing it right?
[19:38] <pJok> and wont go past that
[19:38] <Cpudan80> xnox: sudo apt-get install gdm
[19:38] <pJok> any keypress will just cause it to beep at me
[19:38] <Cpudan80> xnox: see if that's installed
[19:38] <Liantedan> I installed Intrepid (64-bit) and keep getting a checkfs error nearly each time I boot. Can someone give me some advise/help, please ?
[19:38] <jedi06> Well I need major help right now.  I have ubuntu in vbox what I accidently deleted some important files how do i get them back.
[19:38] <jrib> !enter | pJok
[19:38] <zleap> pJok, that normally happens when the keyboard buffer is full
[19:38] <jrib> jedi06: did you read what ubottu told you?  Use your backups basically
[19:38] <neosuki> jedi06: have u used rm command?
[19:38] <gnaf> hola
[19:38] <icewaterman> jedi06: depending on the filesystem you might be out of luck
[19:38] <jedi06> yes rm *
[19:39] <urmel291> methinx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:39] <pJok> zleap, it happens with any keypress as well as it keeping beeping at me every 30 seconds
[19:39] <urmel291> methinx: u need to install nvidia-glx
[19:39] <sergeykish> jrib, thanks its work :-)
[19:39] <icewaterman> jedi06: what filesystem?
[19:39] <jedi06> i don't know how do i find out
[19:39] <zleap> pJok, what distro are you using
[19:39] <neosuki> jedi06: i guess it's hard to recover then
[19:39] <pJok> zleap, 8.10 64bit server
[19:39] <zleap> ok
[19:39] <icewaterman> jedi06: type mount in console
[19:39] <jrib> Doonz: there's probably a better way to accomplish what you are doing if you explain what you are doing exactly
[19:39] <Wolter> is it bad to make one's home partition in ntfs?
[19:39] <icewaterman> if it is xfs you can forget your files
[19:39] <icewaterman> Wolter: yes, very
[19:39] <jrib> Wolter: yes
[19:40] <Wolter> i mean, for linux applications
[19:40] <icewaterman> Wolter: yes
[19:40] <zleap> pJok, not sure,  when did the problem start
[19:40] <Wolter> jrib, icewaterman, why? what happens?
[19:40] <xnox> Cpudan80: it is install, cause I did login without seeing anything, and I've heard the login music. Apt is locked (maybe the update manager is running on the tty7). Shall I reboot and come back?
[19:40] <Doonz> jrib: isnt 777 for read write execute
[19:40] <jrib> Wolter: ntfs does not have unix permissions
[19:40] <Cpudan80> xnox: oh ok - yeah do that
[19:40] <epictetus> ntfs has ACLs
[19:40] <Wolter> jrib, you mean, i cannot protect files?
[19:40] <pJok> zleap, well, i just installed it... 3 times to see if the installation was a problem, but it still keeps doing that after installing
[19:40] <zleap> Doonz, yes,  777 gives readl write executable for everyone
[19:40] <Weems> how do I add a user for ssh (one not using this machine but sshing in)
[19:40] <timedroid> Hm...it seems compiz is causing my openGL problems
[19:40] <Wolter> jrib, with my password
[19:40] <jrib> Doonz: yes, but if you do that recursively, you'll be setting many files like pictures executable...
[19:41] <icewaterman> Wolter: it is both slow and not fully supported. as a result you do not have proper permissions support and only can use fuse (because kernel-side ntfs support is not safe for writing)
[19:41] <zleap> hmm, so it could be a hardware problem or a corrupted cd
[19:41] <Doonz> thas fine
[19:41] <xnox> Cpudan80: ok see ya hopefully in 5 minutes or so.
[19:41] <Cpudan80> k
[19:41] <Stalker72> When I try to install Kubuntu, there comes a black screen saying something with BusyBox and (initramfs). What do I do?
[19:41] <timedroid> I thought NTFS did have an option for unix permissions, but those aren't implemented in any driver for Linux
[19:41] <jrib> Wolter: no.  I mean linux programs require the use of file permissions and ntfs does not use them.  It's a bad idea.  Stick with ext3
[19:41] <jrib> !permissions > Wolter
[19:41] <Pici> Stalker72: Have you tried to use the Alternate CD?
[19:41] <icewaterman> Wolter: what you want is ext3 because you can mount that on windows as well
[19:41] <Wolter> jrib, well its hard, now that i have dual boot and want to have access to my documents from windows
[19:41] <Pici> !alternate | Stalker72
[19:41] <icewaterman> Wolter: via ext2 IFS
[19:42] <pJok> zleap, well, the machine ran FreeBSD just fine (with a wireless driver crashing the kernel randomly)... so the hardware works and the cd checked out fine
[19:42] <prison_break> i get this error in audacity any clue? Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.
[19:42] <jrib> !ext | Wolter
[19:42] <jrib> !ext3 | Wolter
[19:42] <Stalker72> Pici: Nope. How do I install Kubuntu using that?
[19:42] <urmel291> !nickspam | methinx_
[19:42] <Wolter> icewaterman, i tried that but it didn't work, because the new ext3 uses 256 byte block size, ext2ifs uses 128...
[19:42] <zleap> pJok, not sure, can anyone else help here
[19:42] <pJok> didn't have that problem with my old machine that ran 8.04 31bit
[19:42] <pJok> 32*

[19:43] <timedroid> Weems: Add a user to your local system and enable the ssh server if you want a user to access ssh. If you only want the certain user to access your system via ssh, add "AllowUsers [username]@*" to the end of your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file
[19:43] <Pici> Stalker72: Follow the prompts, See the checkbox on http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download
[19:43] <icewaterman> Wolter: then try this: use any linux filesystem for your home and create a separate data partition. if you only store your own files there you will not run into any permission problems, as you can only allow access to the ntfs-data-partition to a specific user
[19:43] <Pici> Stalker72: Its like the regular CD but does not have a 'live' version.
[19:44] <prison_break> i get this error in audacity any clue? Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.
[19:44] <Stalker72> Pici: I prefer BitTorrent. Do I click on Alternate 64Bit then?
[19:44] <Pici> Stalker72: Yes.

[19:44] <joerack> about my non working laptop speakers
[19:44] <Wolter> and yes, i know ubottu is not a human being.
[19:44] <Stalker72> Pici: Will that fix the problem?
[19:44] <Pici> Stalker72: It may.
[19:45] <sahil_> manufacturer of your laptop
[19:45] <Stalker72> Pici: Have you had the same problem yourself?
[19:45] <sahil_> joerack
[19:45] <sahil_> manufacturer
[19:45] <Pici> Stalker72: I have not. But the alternate CD installs on a wider range of hardware than the live CD does.
[19:45] <Stalker72> Pici: Cool, nice to know! :D
[19:46] <prison_break> i get this error in audacity any clue? Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.

[19:46] <beckster> hey guys, so my sound isn't working. I'm dual booting on the aluminum macbook.  I've read tons of forums and dont know what to do next. Any suggestions?
[19:47] <neodarwinian> hi

[19:48] <prison_break> beckster check in wiki
[19:48] <doc|home> anyone had any luck getting the mic working on a dell xps m1330?
[19:48] <timedroid> Weems, do you have something already listening on port 9050?
[19:49] <xnox> Cpudan80: heya. I've rebooted. Had spash screen with ubuntu loading bar. Tthen a little bit of text saying apparmor started, ntp started, GNOME desktop manager started, then too quick for me to read, and then monitor showed out of frequency thingy. back at tty1. I really want to install normal desktop kernel, cause I think that might be a problem (although I'm clueless). sudo apt install gdm said it is already the latest version.
[19:49] <Weems> yes
[19:49] <neodarwinian> I just formatted one of my XP partition using ext3 using GParted.  I now have a new empty volume coming up.. but I don't have any permissions to create file/folders - know why?

[19:55] <bazhang> sahil_, is the partition mounted?
[19:55] <neodarwinian> sahil, you got to unmount to see them enabled..
[19:55] <sahil_> yeah
[19:55] <sahil_> even ext3
[19:55] <bazhang> sahil_, much better to use live cd or gparted livecd
[19:56] <xnox> Cpudan80: I'm back. the reconfigure again asked only about keyboard.
[19:56] <neodarwinian> baz is right.. I'm downloading one myself as I chat to resize my current / partition
[19:56] <sahil_> thanx folks
[19:56] <Cpudan80> xnox: ok... but can you at least get into the thing?
[19:56] <sahil_> but do i have to unmount even linux partitions
[19:56] <bazhang> sahil_, of course yes
