[00:01] <techsupport> how can i prevent ubuntu server 8.10 to turn  of monitor after inactivity ?
[00:02] <|unjustice|> IceBall: I think there is a dependency I am lacking...will check
[00:02] <Ward1983> does some good soul feel like helping me out by trying to compile gephex and see whats wrong? i searched for a solution for about a day and i'm simply out of options for linux :(  -  www.gephex.org
[00:02] <IceBall> |unjustice|, ok
[00:02] <jp_sf> datta: anyway: when you open volume control click Edit click preference then check the line-in and micophones, you should then have a new tab in the open volume window where you can define the input source
[00:02] <pdtpatri3k> faileas you are right ..we use ibm at work here and dells and i tell you .. IBM makes it very easy whereas dell - well thats another story
[00:03] <Ademan> faileas: I won't make any assumptions, but do you know if the recovery partition is capable of operating on its own? (i suspect it is, seems logical for a recovery partition...)
[00:03] <datta> thaks jp_sf i will try that right now
[00:03] <faileas> Ademan: sort of. it needs a specific bootloader, which you can restore from a cd. I STRONGLY recommend making those backup disks though.
[00:04] <Ademan> grub couldn't handle it?
[00:04] <Ademan> and I'll take that advice
[00:04] <IceBall> Ward1983, whats that? :P
[00:04] <faileas> pdtpatri3k: one reason that other than netbooks, and gaming boxen, i'm a thinkpad man ;p. ;p

[00:08] <Ward1983> IceBall, several people have seen the pastebin and they said its impossible to find out whats wrong unless they compiled it themselves and took a look into the code
[00:08] <|unjustice|> IceBall:does the tar.gz get unpacked into /etc for cups files?

[00:13] <dreamy> ok. sorry...
[00:13] <_2> yes. hi.  i was just looking around on a server box i have and noticed that the cd trays are no longer ejectable, there has been a hardware change that probably caused this; i removed an ide hd and installed an scsi hd, and both the scsi and ide cdrom drives are affected.   anyone have thoughts on this ?
[00:14] <tyta_linux> jrib?
[00:14] <failure> is it mounted?
[00:14] <jrib> tyta_linux: no
[00:14] <pdtpatri3k> tyta_linux what are you trying to do? edit your sources list?
[00:14] <IceBall> _2, go into youre bios and see if it detects the hardware
[00:14] <jrib> tyta_linux: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iplist
[00:14] <tyta_linux> im trying to install ipblock
[00:14] <BlackCow> I have this ancient machine i am trying to resurrect, its got 256 mb of RAM, what do you guys recommend i run on it, is ubuntu to much for it?
[00:14] <_2> failure the bios on that box doesn't "detect" anything, you have to set everything by hand.
[00:15] <IceBall> BlackCow, xubuntu
[00:15] <unop> BlackCow, perhaps but it will still run albeit not comfortably.
[00:15] <_2> failure that's the reason i always set all but the boot disk to "not present"
[00:15] <tyta_linux> why xubuntu for blackcow?
[00:15] <IceBall> _2, then i would think its a mobo issue
[00:15] <Zinbur> unop I think I understand how to use apt get but would that command work in the terminal for files that cannot or are not supported on apt get?
[00:15] <IceBall> tyta_linux, becauser its faster for users with lower end systems
[00:15] <w00b3> could anyone please tell me how to add old backed up tomboynotes in a folder to a new computer??
[00:16] <_2> IceBall ya would huh
[00:16] <BlackCow> yeah, im not going for any frills, im guessing watching any video is out of the question on it tho right?
[00:16] <unop> Zinbur, sorry, pay no attention to that message - see the private message ubottu sent you - it has instructions on building software
[00:16] <unavailable> BlackCow: puppy linux?
[00:16] <Zinbur> unop ty for your assistance
[00:16] <IceBall> _2 if u got some spare pocket change go get a cheap ASUS mobo, never had a prob with one
[00:16] <unop> BlackCow, not really - multitasking would be slightly painful tho
[00:17] <IceBall> BlackCow, no you still could

[00:21] <Laderius> Im trying to figure out where my scripts directory is for Nautiiilus and am having no luck, any suggestions?
[00:21] <ae88925> Do what D-- said.
[00:21] <D--> fbc: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[00:21] <_2> fbc yes, but it's not reccomended.  you can manually mount the target fs on /target at the partitioning stage of the install and go that way,  so it is possable, i have done so.
[00:22] <crayvec> So i should be editing "000-default" with <VirtualHost XX.XX.XX.XX:80> as my external IP?
[00:22] <failure> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install  xubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[00:22] <D--> that will install al xubuntu packages, remove ubuntu, and then remove all ubuntu packages not part of xubuntu

[00:22] <timmyd> i just installed a fresh 8.10 installation and after like using X for 20 minutes my mouse buttons don't work anymore
[00:23] <D--> fbc: if you put /home on its own partition -like you should have-, then you could also just reformat and install xubuntu ont he rest, then mount /home without formatting
[00:24] <IceBall> timmyd, does the mouse move>?

[00:25] <timmyd> IceBall, usb, i tried plugging in and out and that didn't change it
[00:25] <crayvec> Would it be this <VirtualHost *:80> if my ip was dynamic, I also have ddclient installed?
[00:25] <IceBall> timmyd, hmm, should auto work, does it work when u load up the livecd?

[00:33] <_2> jp_sf that's what i just said sort of.
[00:33] <jp_sf> jp_sf: it might have assigned the same one but usually BIOS avoid that especially if you didn't force it manually

[00:34] <eseven73> valros: Bluefish maybe
[00:34] <jrib> travis_: the link ubottu gave you does not tell you to install winrar
[00:34] <travis_> jrgp, i installed the rar package the one for linux of rarlabs
[00:34] <jp_sf> _2: I know this what you were thinking too, I don't see anything else
[00:35] <valros> k ill lookem both up
[00:35] <travis_> jrib: jrib
[00:35] <rbil> for years, I've edited xorg.conf to make changes. how is this done now with Hardy?
[00:35] <jrib> travis_: do you have https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression opened in your browser?
[00:35] <mnemonic76> Something happened, and I started getting several different messages. So I followed the ntfs-3g guide, backed up fstab, fixed it. it worked again.
[00:35] <travis_> jrib: yes
[00:35] <valros> is geany in the repositories?
[00:35] <dr_willis> valros,  yes
[00:36] <travis_> jrib: now what
[00:36] <eseven73> !info geany
[00:36] <dr_willis> !info geany
[00:36] <jrib> travis_: what does the third bullet point in the Rar section say?
[00:36] <_2> jp_sf so i'll reboot it and see what the scsi card's tool can find.   the mobo bios is totally worthless in this case but the expansion card has it's own programming.
[00:36] <eseven73> dr_willis: :P
[00:36] <mnemonic76> I logged out and still ok, rebooted and still ok, rebooted again and now I get "You are not privledged to mount BIGBOI" and "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'FATMAN'."
[00:36] <jp_sf> _2: yes first things you should have a scsi controller at least displaying the CDrom and your HD
[00:36] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto
[00:36] <travis_> ugh
[00:37] <rbil> xorg.conf is now generated, so where is that stuff saved now?
[00:37] <_2> jp_sf hdds plural   think server tower
[00:37] <jrib> rbil: huh?
[00:37] <_2> but yeah
[00:37] <jp_sf> _2: the bios is worthless becase it takes order from the controller so if your controller is not setup right yes it is not gonna work most SCSI controller have an interface
[00:38] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto ugh now
[00:38] <jp_sf> _2: all I can said is that on Dell rack poweredge servers I can go through the scsi controller at the boot time to check the status of the scsi connections
[00:38] <rbil> jrib: most of xorg.conf now (in Hardy) is saved elsewhere

[00:39] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto ugh now
[00:39] <_2> ok i'm off to fix it now.  chow
[00:39] <admin-lacavezeve> using zevenos I can't add a new user whY?
[00:39] <jrib> travis_: huh?
[00:39] <jp_sf> _2: and usually CDrom show up with a interface address that maybe you can see if it is shared by any other hard disk
[00:39] <jp_sf> _2: I would do a reboot too
[00:39] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto thats the 3rd bullet dowm limk
[00:39] <travis_> link*
[00:39] <alex-82> hi, I just deleted a bunch of semi-random packages using synaptic, thinking I was eliminating bloat. When I rebooted all I got was the desktop image, mouse cursor, and the startup sound. I right clicked on the desktop, created an empty folder, double clicked to get to nautilus, ran terminal through that then loaded xchat... so what should I do now? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[00:39] <jrib> travis_: no it's not, that's a link in it.  But that's not what the bullet point says
[00:40] <jrib> alex-82: sure
[00:40] <travis_> jrib: i still dont get it.
[00:40] <jrib> Dexi: xbindkeys or imwheel should work
[00:40] <exodus_MS> for x in *.txt; do strings $x > ${x}_; mv ${x}_ $x; done
[00:40] <exodus_MS> for x in *.txt; do strings $x > ${x}_; mv ${x}_ $x; done
[00:40] <jrib> travis_: copy and paste the text that is the third bullet point
[00:40] <Dexi> jrib: packages?
[00:41] <jrib> Dexi: yes, they are both in the repositories

[00:42] <the_squircle> Hi everyone. My boot splash screen displays for a few seconds (when the bar is bouncing back and forth), but then it goes to verbose mode, starting with "Locating files required to boot..." is there any way I can reset my OS loading screen?

[00:44] <jp_sf> bonhoffer: you have to go through an extra step something called odf-converter developped by Suse
[00:44] <bonhoffer> the_squircle, thanks
[00:44] <bonhoffer> jp_sf, thanks
[00:44] <Zinbur> is lunar linux a Separate OS or is it a program for installing a specific type of file?
[00:44]  * the_squircle praises novell (and then slaps himself)
[00:45] <alex-82> usr13: thanks
[00:45] <jp_sf> bonhoffer: but I would think too that OO 3 is able to open them as the_squircle said
[00:45] <phixxor> what is the best way to tranfer files that are sitting right next to each other, but are connected wirelessly to a router? I'm thinkin some kinda cable
[00:45] <phixxor> sorry
[00:46] <Laderius> Question: Im trying to install a mount ISO script, i have the actual script loaded however i need to ass an ISO folder inside mnt and it says i cant because im not the owner, how do i get access? (/mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again)
[00:46] <phixxor> What is the best way to transfer files betweet computers that are sitting right next to each other
[00:46] <the_squircle> jp_sf and bonhoffer: the people at OOo say 3.0 beta can.
[00:46] <jrib> !permissions > justrelaxzin
[00:46] <Laderius> phixxor, ftp
[00:46] <bastid_raZor> phixxor; scp
[00:46] <jp_sf> the_squircle: ah they are wonderfull those people at OO
[00:46] <jrib> justrelaxzin: you need to apply proper permissions to the mounted partition (ie you use chmod/chown appropriately on the mount point with the partition mounted).  See ubottu
[00:46] <the_squircle> phixxor: ftp/scp/NFS/afp/smb/tftp... anything network based
[00:46] <Laderius> bastid_raZor, whats scp?
[00:46] <the_squircle> Laderius: secure copy
[00:47] <the_squircle> protocol...
[00:47] <jrib> phixxor: I would use the wireless network...
[00:47] <phixxor> Laderius, bastid_raZor, alright, but is network really the best? The transfer speed doesn't seem that fast
[00:47] <the_squircle> jp_sf: they sure are.
[00:47] <justrelaxzin> jrib:thanks
[00:47] <Laderius> phixxor, enable full duplex :)
[00:47] <Laderius> can someone help me
[00:47] <Laderius> Question: Im trying to install a mount ISO script, i have the actual script loaded however i need to ass an ISO folder inside mnt and it says i cant because im not the owner, how do i get access? (/mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again)
[00:47] <the_squircle> phixxor: if you have FireWire (iLink or IEEE 1394) it's pretty fast.
[00:47] <phixxor> Laderius: never heard of it
[00:47] <the_squircle> !anybody > Laderius
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> phixxor; if you don't want to open the box and add the drive to your box then scp would probably be fast and easy
[00:47] <Dexi> jrib: i got imwheel, but im stupid and cant find the config
[00:48] <admin-lacavezeve> about mine???
[00:48] <jrib> Dexi: you create it: ~/.imwheelrc
[00:48] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO
[00:48] <phixxor> bastid_raZor, alright. sounds good. I just thought since they both have ethernet there might be a way to connect an ehternet cable to each
[00:49] <Laderius> phixxor crossover cable
[00:49] <Laderius> phixxor i think anyways :)
[00:49] <bastid_raZor> phixxor; scp will use ethernet .. scp file file username@ip:location
[00:49] <the_squircle> phixxor: you don't need a crossover cable if one of the cards is auto-sensing
[00:49] <the_squircle> phixxor: just a regular cable
[00:50] <Dexi> jrib: can you guide me on how to make it? im not really familiar with creating things :p
[00:50] <jrib> Dexi: gedit ~/.imwheelrc
[00:50] <Laderius> how do i login as admin/root to edit a folders permissiosn?
[00:50] <jrib> travis_: did you sort it out?
[00:50] <jrib> Laderius: what folder?
[00:50] <phixxor> ok, well one is a macbook. is that autosensing? if so, great! I can connect them and scp
[00:50] <benovic> i need to send a mass mailing with personalised messages - what tool can i use in ubuntu? (its for good!)
[00:50] <Dexi> ok thanks
[00:50] <usr13> alex-82:  THe synaptic package manager has "History" in the dropdown menu.  File -> History
[00:50] <the_squircle> Laderius: sudo chmod <permissions> <folder>
[00:50] <Dexi> ill go find syntax and all that online. :p
[00:51] <the_squircle> phixxor: yes, macs are auto-sensing
[00:51] <usr13> alex-82: Just found that. It will more than likely show removed packages as well as installed ones.
[00:51] <the_squircle> phixxor: but if you have a firewire cable, the MB is a lot faster at that
[00:51] <neil_d> I am trying to change Gnome from using the Home directory instead of the ~/Desktop directory, the gconf desktop_is_home_dir is false... but it is still displaying the wrong directory :( help
[00:51] <woli> where can I see a list of graphic cards supported by ubuntu intrepid ibez?

[00:51] <jrib> neil_d: check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[00:51] <dr_willis> bonhoffer,  you mean the latest OOo?
[00:52] <phixxor> the_squircle: Ok, I have a firewire cable, but I think the other computer doesn't have a fw port. that's odd though, I always thought Ethernet was faster than firewire
[00:52] <bonhoffer> OOo 3.0
[00:52] <the_squircle> Laderius: what?
[00:52] <bonhoffer> that can open xlsx

[00:53] <Laderius> the_squircle: when i try and add an ISO folder to mnt folder i get that error,
[00:53] <alex-82> usr13: thanks, I was looking for that. Actually I found the files which are in /root/.synaptic/log/ .
[00:53] <the_squircle> phixxor: 100 base TX is 10MBps, FireWire 400 is 40MBps... but Gigabit is 100MBps
[00:53] <neil_d> jrib: the    XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"   I presume this is wrong ?
[00:53] <jrib> neil_d: yep
[00:53] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; use sudo
[00:53] <usr13> alex-82: Ok, very good...
[00:53] <the_squircle> Laderius: sudo
[00:53] <phixxor> the_squircle: got it. thanks
[00:54] <Laderius> the_squircle, bastid_raZor: the command would be sudo /mnt/iso/  ?
[00:54] <phixxor> the_squircle: and wireless networks (g) are 5mb/s about, right?
[00:54] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO *(be sure to note case sensitive)

[00:55] <andresmh> shut, I just removed my well configured gnome panel, is there a way I can recover it?
[00:55] <jrib> neil_d: no problem
[00:55] <woli> is the nvidia geforce 8600M GT supported in 8.10 ??
[00:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[00:55] <Guest88728> I installed a 32-bit-pakage of a programm (this was necessary). Now a 64-bit-pakage (the one for wich I needed this 32-bit pakage) is reporting a dependency error. How can I mark the pakage as installed to avoid dependecy-errors?
[00:55] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; if it is looking for /mnt/iso then you need to make sure it is lowercase if it wants /mnt/ISO make sure you make it uppercase
[00:55] <the_squircle> Laderius: just follow bastid_raZor's instructions :P
[00:55] <jrib> woli: yes
[00:55] <Laderius> the_squircle i found a natulis script to do it :D. want the link?
[00:55] <the_squircle> woli: i'm using one and I love it
[00:55] <the_squircle> Laderius: I'd love it :)
[00:56] <usr13> Laderius: the_squircle mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/cdrom
[00:56] <Laderius> the_squircle, bastid_raZor: Thanks it works now: the link is (http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Image)
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; i actually use a script to do the same thing too.. it can also be used to unmount the iso afterwards.
[00:56] <the_squircle> Guest88728: you could force install the package using dpkg -i --force-all package.deb
[00:57] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: Which script?
[00:57] <the_squircle> thanks usr13 and Laderius
[00:57] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: Maybe the same one im using
[00:57] <usr13> Laderius: the_squircle where /mnt/cdrom is a valid mount point, you pick.  i.e.  mkdir /mnt/iso and then use /mnt/iso
[00:57] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; a friend of mine wrote it.
[00:57] <the_squircle> usr13: I know that much :P
[00:57] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; i will give it to you if you want.. but the script you have does the same.. almost
[00:57] <omarco> how can I extract the first character from a variable in bash?
[00:58] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: not sure if mine unmounts tho
[00:58] <Guest88728> the_squircle: I did this and it worked. But now the 64-bit-program complains about a missing 64-bit-pakage (the one wich I installed as 32-bit)
[00:58] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; one sec and i'll pastebin it
[00:58] <dr_willis> omarco,   i would say - check that 'advanced bash scripting guide' it has chapters/sections/examples of that.
[00:58] <dr_willis> !abs
[00:58] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: thanks, will it come as PM?
[00:58] <the_squircle> Guest88728: install the 64-bit version of the package it's complaining about.
[00:58] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: if you're PMing it, I'd love it too :D
[00:59] <Guest88728> the_squircle:  But isn't the 32-bit version deleted then?
[00:59] <the_squircle> Guest88728: Depends. What package is it
[00:59] <sandeep> echo 132
[00:59] <rebel_kid> is there a quick way to turn gnome on and off? not just flip to CLI but completely turn it off
[00:59] <the_squircle> Guest88728: if it's a library, you can have both
[01:00] <sinbox> how can I tell netstat to return result for a specific  port/range?
[01:00] <ikyn_> I'm trying to run a .tcl script from my /home/user/ folder, using the command "sudo ./xx.tcl" command. Why is it saying "command not found" ?
[01:00] <Guest88728> the_squircle: its "php-zero-ice"
[01:00] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  you have the first line of the script being the proper #!/bin/whate4ver/tcl line ?
[01:00] <emet> All Florida Ubuntu users, there is a meeting going on in #ubuntu-us-fl
[01:00] <woli> the_squircle, do you happen to have the dell xps m1530?
[01:01] <Jungar> hii
[01:01] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  and you have it  chmod'ed to be executable?
[01:01] <the_squircle> woli: MacBook Pro. but i've worked with the XPS.
[01:01] <ikyn_> dr_willis: I don't know about the chmod - what would be the command for that?
[01:01] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; the_squircle first in cli do .. touch isomount then copy past the contents and chmod 700 isomount then sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin   http://pastebin.com/f7345d68d
[01:01] <woli> hmm
[01:01] <alex-82> cool, ok so it looks like I uninstalled gnome-panel. Now I'm looking at some of the alternative panels out there. Need something light with a task list.
[01:01] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  chmod +x whatever
[01:01] <ikyn_> dr_willis: Thanks!
[01:01] <the_squircle> Thanks bastid_raZor
[01:01] <sandeep> Is anyone in toronto?
[01:02] <the_squircle> sandeep: I'm in Toronto
[01:02] <mosno> can anyone comment on beagle vs tracker?
[01:02] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; the script has a little bit of error handling in it so if you do something wrong it will tell you what you're doing wrong.. basically it needs to be run sudo isomount file.iso and it mounts it
[01:02] <rebel_kid> is there a quick way to turn gnome on and off? not just flip to CLI but completely turn it off
[01:02] <sandeep> How do you like ubuntu?
[01:02] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: sounds easy enough... but scripts are always nice.
[01:03] <kuyaba-tok> :-*
[01:03] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: excuse the noob question but what is cli?
[01:03] <the_squircle> sandeep: I used to use OpenSUSE, and I have to say that I like Ubuntu a lot more in many aspects.
[01:03] <sandeep> cli is command line interface, like a dos window.
[01:03] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; do those commands in a terminal ;) cli is command line input  meaning to do those things in a terminal
[01:03] <Laderius> ahh ok
[01:03] <fuxxy> rebel_kid, check  out 'runlevels'
[01:03] <the_squircle> Guest88728: I can't find anything about php-zero-ice
[01:04] <sandeep> I see, I have just recetly acuired an interest in ubuntu, I must say I am quite impressed.
[01:04] <usr13> sandeep: As well you should be!  :)
[01:04] <ikyn_> dr_willis: if the name of the script is xx.tcl, and it's in my /home/ikyn folder, what would the first line be if I'm running Kubuntu 18.10?
[01:04] <rebel_kid> fuxxy, is it in man?
[01:04] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; Laderius if you notice this script uses /media/iso so that it will appear on the desktop when thinks are mounted. it makes it much easier to find if you prefer using the mouse over a keyboard.
[01:04] <the_squircle> sandeep: Welcome to the community!
[01:04] <faileas> 18.10? ;)
[01:05] <ikyn_> haha

[01:05] <Wintre> Hi
[01:05] <Man23BRsT> hi people, anyone has some information about bluetooth on ubuntu intrepid? my mobile doesn't sync with de notebook to transfer files. I have read that the bluez protocol stack have been modifyed and has a bug.
[01:05] <the_squircle> !hello | Wintre
[01:05] <sandeep> Correct, ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE YOU USE?
[01:05] <Wintre> Is there some graphical tool for editing UXTerm*charClass in Ubuntu 8.10?
[01:05] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  scripting basics.. the first like is the path to the executable that runs the script..   ie: a bash script is #!/bin/bash    perl would be #!/bin/perl   and so on
[01:05] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: yesh, when i type in terminal 'touch mount' nothing happends is that right?
[01:05] <the_squircle> Man23BRsT: I am using bluetooth fine
[01:05] <Guest88728> the_squircle: It just a .so file (php-extension) in the php-folder. I will copy the 32-bit version, install the 64-bit pakage and backup the 32-bit file ;) Thank you anyway
[01:05] <usr13> sandeep: Lots
[01:05] <the_squircle> !caps | sandeep
[01:05] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: or is it sudo touch mount
[01:05] <ikyn_> dr_willis: I'm a scripting newbie - thanks again!
[01:05] <the_squircle> Guest88728: If it's just a .so, you can install both
[01:05] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  you may want to go read some tcl tutorials then.
[01:06] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: sorry i meant isomount
[01:06] <sandeep> iI'm so sorry.
[01:06] <Wintre> I just updated .Xresources, but I wonder if there's an easier way to do that
[01:06] <the_squircle> sandeep: just network security tools and Java IDEs. (Why someone in Toronto?)
[01:06] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; you are correct touch isomount works. in cli if you do something correctly you get no output if you mess up you then get errors.
[01:06] <sandeep> network secrrity is fascinating for me too. What;s your email?
[01:06] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; now open isomount with a text editor and c/p the script
[01:07] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: good to know, its my first week with linux and im trying to learn everything i can
[01:07] <the_squircle> sandeep: Sorry... I don't give that out.
[01:07] <toddlo> Anyone know anything about Dell notebooks and sound problems in 8.10?
[01:07] <rito> how hard is it to install a home server stuff...using CLI...
[01:07] <rito> Wintre, hi there there :)
[01:07] <rito> Wintre, no idea, sorry
[01:07] <rito> how hard is it to install a home server stuff...using CLI...
[01:07] <FloodBot1> rito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:07] <rito> Wintre, I am a worker here,....please dont cause trouble ok : )
[01:07] <sandeep> may I give you mine?
[01:07] <Wintre> wtf
[01:07] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; it takes a bit to learn, just stay positive and you'll be fine
[01:07] <jrib> rito: stop
[01:07] <Wintre> "please dont cause trouble ok"?
[01:07] <usr13> ikyn_: I'll bet you'll find this site interesting:  http://www.intuitive.com/wicked/wicked-cool-shell-script-library.shtml
[01:07] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: after i sudo touch isomount where will i find the file to open?
[01:08] <genii> rito: sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel            ...select LAMP install
[01:08] <the_squircle> sandeep: If you want a good way to get in touch with me, i'm usually on Freenode in one channel or another.
[01:08] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: or do i gedit touch isomount
[01:08] <bonhoffer> OK. so installed OOo 3 -- but xlsx still has the filter selection window -- any thoughts?
[01:08] <sandeep> I will try it out , thanks.
[01:08] <the_squircle> :)
[01:08] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; you don't need to use sudo but that is okay.. you'll need to edit it with root permissions. which did you use sudo or just touch isomount?
[01:09] <the_squircle> bonhoffer: did you install the extra package?
[01:09] <ikyn_> dr_willis: it was the chmod +x problem, nothing in the script. Thanks again :)
[01:09] <cached> How do I find which program is hogging up alsa?
[01:09] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: i used both expecting an output
[01:09] <rendero> hello, is it necessary reboot after doing a modprobe ?
[01:09] <the_squircle> bonhoffer: odf-converter
[01:09] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; type ls -al isomount and tell me what it says.
[01:09] <the_squircle> rendero: nope
[01:09] <sinbox> how can I tell netstat to return result for a specific  port/range?
[01:09] <rendero> thx
[01:10] <tiyowan> hi folks.
[01:10] <dr_willis> sinbox,  you have checked the netstat man pages?
[01:10] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: -rwx------ 1 k4rm4 k4rm4 0 2009-01-06 18:07 isomount
[01:10] <the_squircle> !hello | tiyowan
[01:10] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: isomount is green
[01:10] <sinbox> dr_willis, nope only netstat --help
[01:10] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; okay, you can edit it with gedit isomount .. you don't need to worry about chmod'ing the file after you c/p the script just move it with sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin
[01:11] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: Just a general question not related to this... does a folder have to have any specific permissions to be mounted to?
[01:11] <Wintre> jrib?
[01:11] <bonhoffer> the_squircle, round two -- i thought OOo could do it
[01:11] <urchin> i m selling a hp e-pc do you went to by it sinbox?
[01:12] <jrib> Wintre: yes?
[01:12] <Wintre> Who is this rito individual?
[01:12] <Wintre> *rito*> What do you mean "don't cause trouble"?
[01:12] <Wintre> *rito* intresting.
[01:12] <Wintre> *rito* You came here to cause trouble. This is a support room.
[01:12] <the_squircle> bonhoffer: OOo can do it.. with that extra package ;)
[01:12] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; it needs to be executable and readable
[01:12] <jrib> Wintre: I don't know.  I assumed bot, but he stopped
[01:12] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: 555?
[01:12] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; 777 for just a folder for mounting things
[01:13] <sinbox> urchin, wot?  short answer = no, I don't buy computing equipment  ;-)
[01:13] <Wintre> Imagine. Yet another moron on IRC.
[01:13] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: What will mount do if there are files in the folder you're trying to mount to? (I'm assuming fail)
[01:13] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: okay, did that now how do i confirm it works
[01:13] <the_squircle> Wintre: :O morons on IRC? WHAT?
[01:13] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; you really shouldn't mount it that way. use an empty folder
[01:13] <overridex> anyone here set up the buttons of a bluetooth headset to execute commands on ubuntu 8.10?  I have the audio part working, just not sure what I should be looking at as far as setting up the buttons
[01:14] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; have you moved the file?
[01:14] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: don't worry... I wasn't planning to. Thanks a bunch!
[01:14] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin
[01:14] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: yep
[01:14] <kuyaba-tok> is it possible to have windows and ubuntu in one partition?
[01:15] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: wubi
[01:15] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: will isomount only mount isos, or will it do bin/cue/nrg too?
[01:15] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; okay, now sudo isomount /path/to/file.iso and it will mount or give errors
[01:15] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: or virtualization I guess
[01:15] <SherlawkDragon> can anyone tell me a good Windows Emulator for Ubuntu?
[01:15] <rndmtngnt_> wine?
[01:15] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: virtualbox
[01:15] <wash-hasted> i use Sun XVM virtual box
[01:15] <SherlawkDragon> rndmtngnt> Wine kinda... doesn't work
[01:16] <SherlawkDragon> (and yes, that's the best explaination I can give...)
[01:16] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; i've never attempted to use it to mount anything other than an iso.. feel free to let me know if it works
[01:16] <jrib> SherlawkDragon: what do you want to use it for?
[01:16] <SherlawkDragon> overridex> will look
[01:16] <the_squircle> will do.
[01:16] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: virtualbox is cool, as long as you're not trying to game in it
[01:16] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: bah got errors, one sec
[01:17] <SherlawkDragon> I want to run VB apps and stuff
[01:17] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: You must be root or an admin to use /usr/local/bin/isomount. and a string of notfounds
[01:17] <PrivateRolf> I'm looking for  someone who has a very basic (if not fresh) installation of Ubuntu with all repositories enabled to help me test a script. Does anyone meet the criteria?
[01:17] <Laderius> PrivateRolf i have a fresh install
[01:17] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; use sudo ;)
[01:17] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: which one do you recommend?
[01:17] <SherlawkDragon> I have windows programs on my computer that I want to run (the Windows was Vista, and I downloaded that update that was corrupting Vista systems)
[01:17] <PrivateRolf> Alright, I will Private Message you in a minute, Laderius.
[01:18] <Gokul> I'm having this issue where the netwrok manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 shows only the wireless network i'm connected to and does not display all the other available wireless connections
[01:18] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: why do you want to have both on the same partition?
[01:18] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: HA! amazing
[01:18] <SherlawkDragon> mostly I just need something that will run windows apps (that works better than Wine, which doesn't really work)
[01:18] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: i do not want to repartition my disk
[01:18] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; to mount you need sudo to unmount simply type isomount and it unmounts.
[01:18] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: nice thanks alot
[01:18] <Gokul> anyone have any suggestions as to how I could fix it?
[01:18] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: virtualbox will work for you, though you do need a windows cd to install into it
[01:18] <tiyowan> PrivateRolf: I've got a month old install; what kind of script is it?
[01:18] <SherlawkDragon> crap
[01:18] <gogereaver> sherlawkdragon well thers not mutch etter then wine other then using something like vmware or dule booting
[01:19] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; glad i could help. it shows the mounted iso on your desktop too.. that should help in locating it if you like gui apps beter.
[01:19] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: ill try wubi then, thx..
[01:19] <SherlawkDragon> see, I HAVE Windows Vista, it came on here, but the OS corrupted itself
[01:19] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: personally, I don't trust wubi.  I would install ubuntu and virtualize windows.  That should work fine as long as you don't need to play games on windows
[01:19] <gogereaver> SherlawkDragon sounds right
[01:19] <SherlawkDragon> (personally, I wouldn't have taken Vista)
[01:19] <rndmtngnt_> SherlawkDragon: which windows program you need to get to work?
[01:19] <Barridus> hmmm, i can't enable desktop effects suddenly (don't know the cause
[01:20] <SherlawkDragon> A VB app
[01:20] <Barridus> how can i get an error code or message?
[01:20] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: yeah its awesome thx
[01:20] <PrivateRolf> Tiyowan: It's a sort of idea I have going. What this script will do will resolve dependencies for Transmission 1.42 source, build it with the options I've specified, then remove the source package and its extracted directory, and the development dependencies.
[01:20] <wash-hasted> sun xvm virtualbox runs every windows app i try and i use it to compile c++ code using dev c++
[01:20] <ArrPirate> I have my home directory on another partition and that's great for when I reinstall ubuntu or I want to try a different flavor of linux... but I don't like having to reinstall my favorite programs. Is there a way I can make it so that specific programs get installed when I reinstall ubuntu?
[01:20] <gogereaver> SherlawkDragon vb is one thing linux doesent play well with even with wine
[01:20] <rndmtngnt_> SherlawkDragon: .net?
[01:20] <SherlawkDragon> maybe I just need the VB DLL for Wine..
[01:20] <Barridus> i'm just getting a graphical "desktop effects could not be loaded"
[01:20] <Gokul> I'm having this issue where the netwrok manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 shows only the wireless network i'm connected to and does not display all the other available wireless connections
[01:20] <SherlawkDragon> no, just VB I think, let me see...
[01:20] <Barridus> is there a terminal command to enable it so i could see the specific error?
[01:21] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: well, i want some...
[01:21] <gogereaver> Gokul its not supposed to
[01:21] <SherlawkDragon> uh...
[01:21] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: where is isomount available? it isn't in any default repos...
[01:21] <valros> crap i screwed up ccsm, changed a keybinding and now instead of the mouse interacting with whatevers in the window it treats the whole window as the title bar, all i can do is move them around
[01:21] <gogereaver> Gokul it should only list them in the network manager when you scan for new ones
[01:21] <SherlawkDragon> nevermind, I thought I had the source, but don't
[01:21] <rndmtngnt_> Im sure .net can be installed and run under wine but think you problems maybe be best asked in the wine or lookup the mono channels
[01:21] <valros> i can access the terminal, can anyone help?
[01:21] <jrib> valros: use your keyboard to fix it in ccsm?
[01:21] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; my friend wrote it ..
[01:22] <Gokul> gogereaver: how do i scan for new ones then?
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> #Wine
[01:22] <tiyowan> PrivateRolf: Neat. I'm curious as to what extra options are there that you need to compile the package with. pm me. Sounds interesting.
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> oops
[01:22] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
[01:22] <valros> navigation with the keyboard? tab arrows and enter?
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> oook...
[01:22] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: i'll try everything and let you know how it goes.
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> what's the Wine channel?
[01:22] <sinbox> !clone | ArrPirate,
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> #Wine is blocks
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> *blocked
[01:22] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: #winehq i think
[01:22] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; i'm always online so if i dont' respond feel free to pm me. i'm soon to leave for work, now.
[01:23] <the_squircle> sure :)
[01:23] <valros> any way to rollback changes in ccsm?
[01:23] <gogereaver>  Gokul KWifiManager  is one i knoe of
[01:24] <gogereaver> the one ubuntu has by defult just does it auto
[01:24] <nbeebo> anyone know if nokia n96 install cd works on ubuntu?
[01:24] <gogereaver> best one it can find
[01:24] <Gokul> gogereaver: it seems obvious that at any time, i'd like to switch from one wireless connection to another one. not having the list of available connections makes it fdifficult to do so
[01:24] <gogereaver> KWifiManager gives a list
[01:25] <Gokul> i'm using gnome and prefer not to install kwifimanager if i can avoid it
[01:25] <gogereaver> isudo apt-get install wifi-radar
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> Gokul: easiest way I've found to do it, is wicd.. google it, it has an Ubuntu repository available.
[01:26] <Gokul> surely there's got to be some way of listing all the avilable wireless connections using the network-manager applet
[01:26] <overridex> Gokul: left click on it
[01:26] <gogereaver> Gokul wifi0radio is a nice gui
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> i still like wicd better than all fo em
[01:26] <gogereaver> it will scan and even tell you if there open or not
[01:27] <usr13>  Gokul If you right click on the little network-manager up there, you will find the list. (I don't remember exactly, don't have my laptop running right now), but just fish around and you should find the list.  I'm pretty sure it is there.
[01:27] <l337ingDisorder> Can anyone help with printing? I used the ubuntu alternate installer to install a command-line-only Ubuntu. I'm trying to set up CUPS to print to a printer that is shared on a windows machine and it seems to configure properly with the .PPD file but once configured, it can't print... just says "Connecting to (hostname)"
[01:27] <overridex> no one here using a bluetooth device's input buttons?
[01:27] <Gokul> that *IS* the problem. before i connect, it lists all of them but once i connect to one of them, the lists seems to dissapper after a few mins
[01:28] <gogereaver> Gokul well its supposed to do that
[01:28] <gogereaver> Gokul if you disconnect the list should come back
[01:28] <nbeebo> how mount n96?
[01:28]  * dr_willis wonders what a n96 is
[01:29] <usr13> Gokul: Well, someone suggested kwifimanager, maybe you could just install that..?
[01:29] <boot_loop> anyone ever use CVS and know what it's for?
[01:29] <gogereaver> or wifi-radar
[01:29] <jrib> boot_loop: yes, why?
[01:29] <gogereaver> thers a few apps that do that
[01:29] <dr_willis> !cvs
[01:30] <jrib> s/dominant/once-dominant/
[01:30] <usr13> gogereaver:  Gokul Yes, I remember, that's the way it works.  It shows list of available APs only when you disconnect.
[01:31] <something132> hey i am having this sound problem

[01:32] <sinbox> dr_willis, I have now read the netstat man pages and am (not so) glad to report that it has not answered my question unfortunately
[01:33] <Raize> Hi, quick question. How do I go about dropping down to the plain terminal prompt from X?
[01:33] <something132> my sound card is detected not playing any sound and i have had 2 people who could not solve it can someone help me with this
[01:33] <usr13> sinbox: What are you trying to do?
[01:33] <jrib> Raize: why?
[01:33] <Raize> Need to install some nvidia drivers, the installer requires that X not be running
[01:34] <something132> NEED HELP
[01:34] <jrib> Raize: use system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[01:34] <jrib> !nvidia > Raize
[01:34] <something132> forgot caps lok on
[01:34] <dr_willis> Raize,  I do hope you have tried the Drivers in the repos first? and if those failed - tried the Envyng tool?
[01:34] <mezquitale> Somethief, I suggest you go to the #alsa room, if nobody can help you there then your soundcard isnt supported, you will have to look for gnubien or wishie
[01:34] <dude7064> in Ubutntu how can I do administrative tasks with the GUI ?? for example editing restricted files ??? I know in command it can be done with sudo,, what bout the gui ??
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Raize,  clt-alt-f2, login. run  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed
[01:35] <usr13> something132: Might be useful info here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383

[01:35] <sinbox> usr13 just trying to get netstat to return result for all the connection to a single local port, but it is not anything urgent anymore now
[01:35] <dr_willis> and hope the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com work :)
[01:35] <overridex> dude7064: gksudo gedit <filename> would do it
[01:35] <Raize> Lets see if the first idea works real quick, brb
[01:37] <slapshot> helo
[01:37] <usr13>  sinbox netstat -aptn
[01:37] <usr13> netstat -aptn
[01:37] <usr13> netstat -aptn
[01:37] <FloodBot1> usr13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:37] <nbeebo> how to mount my nokia n96 in ubuntu?
[01:37] <usr13> sinbox netstat -aptn will tell you open ports and what program has them open.
[01:39] <colton_> is there a cshapr channel?
[01:39] <justizin> does anyone know of a good tutorial on setting up a 32-bit build environment in an amd64 system?  howabout lpia?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[01:39] <sp0wn> nbeebo - I don't know anything about the nokia n96, but you may want to try typing "dmesg" from a shelll to see what shows up
[01:39] <mavsman4457> I can't get my laptop running ubuntu to detect my monitor, what can I do?
[01:39]  * justizin has a feeling setting up lpia will be more like a cross-compiler, but yeesh, rebuilding kernel on the netbook takes 10+ hours! :-P
[01:39] <usr13>  sinbox netstat -tp  show network connections [-t=tcp -p=PID and name of the program
[01:39] <justizin> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[01:39] <sp0wn> nbeebo - you may also want to try lsusb to see what it says (again, from the command line)
[01:40] <sp0wn> then google based on what you find
[01:40] <sinbox> that is easier to read indeed usr13, next question (or actually the previous ne) was what would you use to kill one of those connection to the port in question but not the other ones/?
[01:40] <nbeebo> sp0wn, thank you, ill try
[01:40] <techsupport> anyone here familiar with a service provider that lets you pay for a ubuntu server?
[01:41] <sp0wn> best of luck :)
[01:41] <techsupport> i forgot what its called
[01:41] <nbeebo> sp0wn, its found
[01:41] <nbeebo> sp0wn, Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0421:0039 Nokia Mobile Phones
[01:41] <altus-dominus> hey guys'
[01:41] <sp0wn> so maybe you need a module for it...
[01:41] <ari_stress> morning all, beautiful day! :)
[01:41] <overridex> techsupport: like a virtual server or hardware?
[01:41] <sp0wn> there might be a driver that you can download...
[01:42] <sp0wn> try lsusb as well, to see what you find
[01:42] <usr13> sinbox: Kill the application that is accepting the connection is the preferred method.  But if you want to block the port, you  can do that as well, but would need to use iptables command to do that.  The simplier method is to just stop the application.
[01:42] <overridex> www.dyndns.com has virtual servers that run ubuntu
[01:42] <techsupport> overridex, like a virtual server yeah , to pay for an entire box
[01:42] <altus-dominus> need help.. just installed ubuntu 8.10 did all my updates and installed compiz-fusion, when I apply compiz i do not get any window borders i tried emerald --replace nothing happens.. can anybody please help out
[01:42] <techsupport> overridex, virtual box that is
[01:43] <overridex> techsupport: yeah, depends what you need i guess - the virtuals are dyndns.com are on pretty high end hardware on really fast connections
[01:43] <spree> I want to rescan by USB bus. All my USB devices suddenly stopped working and i want to "reset" it
[01:43] <spree> i don't want to reboot
[01:43] <sp0wn> nbeebo, maybe try the instructions here http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&message.id=18974 - they seem to be on the right path
[01:43] <overridex> s/are/at/
[01:44] <sinbox> OK thanks usr13 but the app is a streaming audio server, I just needed to kill one connection, I'll go and read more on iptables as firestarter wouldn't let me do it
[01:44] <gogereaver> spree just disconnect evrything
[01:44] <gogereaver> spree should reset it
[01:44] <usr13> sinbox: To kill the application, simply use: kill <pid#here>
[01:44] <nbeebo> sp0wn, thank you very much
[01:44] <eross> when using FTP, how do I use SITE NOSTRIP
[01:44] <sp0wn> ur welcome, good luck
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo lol did you get sound workin
[01:45] <techsupport> overridex, thanx, i mean VPS , do you know of any other provider cheaper than dyndns.com ?
[01:45] <nbeebo> gogereaver, nooope..
[01:45] <Dexi> can anyone help me with resizing my current partiton?
[01:45] <usr13> sinbox: firestarter should block the port for you.  (But that is all firestarter will do, is block the port.)
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo its soooo easy
[01:45] <nbeebo> Dexi, if ur in it, not possible
[01:45] <sinbox> can't kill the app usr13 or all the connection get lost, I just had one rogue sourece connected and couldn't contact the [deleted expletive] person who had left it running streaming silence
[01:45] <linxeh> eross: try "quote site nostrip"
[01:45] <sp0wn> nokia much more important than sound =P
[01:45] <Dexi> nbeebo, but i couldnt resize it from SuSE install without formatting... :(
[01:45] <eross> ah
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo just go to capture in the voulm manger
[01:45] <usr13> sinbox: You can specify port number (in firestarter).
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo and unmute the speaker icon
[01:45] <overridex> techsupport: i knew someone who used a cheaper one... trying to remember the name of it
[01:46] <Dexi> do i need to do it from bios?
[01:46] <sp0wn> gogereaver - I had that same issue on a Asus 900A Eee PC
[01:46] <gogereaver> sp0wn yesterday he was trying to capture sound from the card
[01:46] <gogereaver> sp0wn vs a mic
[01:46] <sp0wn> ahhh
[01:46] <anteaya> what is the bash command to display relevant system information?
[01:47] <altus-dominus> anyone please ?
[01:47] <sp0wn> gogereaver - On the Eee you had to unmute the capture to get OUTPUT to work!
[01:47] <dr_willis> anteaya,  what info?
[01:47] <gogereaver> sp0wn yep
[01:47] <anteaya> dr_willis, system information for bug reporting, my os
[01:47] <dr_willis> anteaya,  not sure ther eis 1 command for that
[01:47] <gogereaver> sp0wn ho wait
[01:48] <gogereaver> sp0wn oh
[01:48] <gogereaver> sp0wn that means recording from it might not work
[01:48] <anteaya> dr_willis, I'm pretty sure there is, I've just forgotten it, thanks anyway
[01:48] <Emerica> I'd like to launch Xine via command line over ssh but it seems that Xine is looking at my session and cannot open the display, is there a way to load scripts or applications over ssh as if they were being run from the client machine itself? I'd prefer not to use a remote desktop. X11 forwarding has come up in my searches but everything after seems to forward to the remote machine or is remote desktop based.  Tanks for your time
[01:48] <sp0wn> gogereaver - that's probably true
[01:48] <overridex> techsupport: sorry, i can't remember, and i'm not seeing anything familiar on google
[01:48] <sp0wn> gogereaver - I haven't tried to use it for recording or video conference or anything
[01:49] <AnneShirley> How do I disable the drums at the login screen?
[01:49] <jrib> Emerica: just set the DISPLAY environment variable appropriately
[01:49] <overridex> anyone use a bluetooth headset and have the button mapped to do something?
[01:49] <sp0wn> gogereaver - but I suspect that you're right, the module isn't mapping the interfaces correctly
[01:49] <nbeebo> gogereaver, this is my current settings.. http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Screenshot.png

[01:49] <Dexi> or that
[01:49] <Emerica> Jrib: Ive tried, fglrxinfo on the main machine is :0.0
[01:49] <Dexi> i mean session preferences lol
[01:49] <AnneShirley> Ok. Thanks!
[01:49] <jrib> nbeebo: please don't do that
[01:50] <AnneShirley> I'm about to install Ubuntu. Should I get 8.04 LTS or 8.10?
[01:50] <Dexi> 8.1
[01:50] <syncx> what could be the error with this - virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
[01:50] <syncx> make[1]: *** [bg.o] Error 1
[01:50] <Dexi> hands down
[01:50] <gogereaver> nbeebo in the device drop down menu you would be able to slect capture
[01:50] <gogereaver> nbeebo thats what you wanna unmute should be a speaker icon
[01:50] <AnneShirley> It's alot better, huh?
[01:50] <Dexi> AnneShirley: in System>Preferences>Sessions theres a "Gnome Login Sound" checkbox, thats what i meant
[01:50] <josher4> AnneShirley: 8.10. It is WAY better...
[01:50] <Dexi> yes it is a lot better :)
[01:50] <sp0wn> nbeebo - you're looking at the Volume Manager or what not... for the hard drive... try the speaker icon
[01:50] <jrib> AnneShirley: LTS means you only need to upgrade every 3 years instead of every 18 months.  If that's not an issue for you, then go with 8.10
[01:51]  * overridex wonders why his "PC Speaker" shows up under /proc/bus/input/devices
[01:51] <gogereaver> sp0wn thast the manager he whants
[01:51] <AnneShirley> Ok. I'll shoot for 8.10
[01:51] <gogereaver> sp0wn you can enabkle sound capture from there
[01:51] <syncx> any one to help?
[01:51] <sp0wn> gogereaver oh yeah?  that's weird, then
[01:51] <nbeebo> jrib, i cant link? ???
[01:51] <AnneShirley> Some people say that 8.04 is more reliable. Is that true?
[01:51] <syncx> virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
[01:51] <syncx> [08:51] <syncx> make[1]: *** [bg.o] Error 1
[01:51] <syncx> what should i do with that error?
[01:51] <nbeebo> gogereaver, that is done isnt it..
[01:52] <jrib> nbeebo: link to sane URLs
[01:52] <Dexi> AnneShirley: i dont think its reliable at all
[01:52] <gogereaver> sp0wn not relly switching from a mic to soundcard is always a bit tricky
[01:52] <gogereaver> nbeebo i ment
[01:52] <nbeebo> jrib, im not breaking any rules so please dont go off topic
[01:52] <mavsman4457> I can't get my external monitor to work with my laptop, what can I do?
[01:52] <AnneShirley> Ok. I'm with everyone else. I'm going to install 8.10.
[01:52] <josher4> AnneShirley: Go with 8.10, it is more reliable.
[01:52] <nbeebo> sp0wn, when u click on the speaker icon that is what shows
[01:53] <jrib> nbeebo: just don't create a url like that next time.  There's no need to spam the channel with a hundred '-'
[01:53] <gogereaver> nbeebo in device manager on that windows
[01:53] <gogereaver> nbeebo switch the device to capture
[01:53] <gogereaver> nbeebo it should say like hda capture
[01:53] <martin__> hey guys
[01:53] <nbeebo> jrib, i didnt make that, filename was maybe 15 signs
[01:53] <josher4> Hello
[01:54] <jrib> nbeebo: you're missing the point
[01:54] <nbeebo> gogereaver, ok ill try
[01:54] <sp0wn> mavsman4456 - if you have an nvidia card, try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig" from a shell (command prompt)
[01:54] <AnneShirley> josher4: Hello.
[01:54] <josher4> AnneShirley: Lmao, I was saying it to martin but Hello!
[01:54] <sp0wn> mavsman4456 then click on System | Administration | NVidia X Configuration Manager
[01:54] <gogereaver> nbeebo from there you can switch the recording input i did this myself yesterday
[01:55] <AnneShirley> josher4: How are you doing?
[01:55] <gogereaver> nbeebo you should only see 2 icons your speaker and mic
[01:55] <josher4> AnneShirley: Well, and you?
[01:55] <AnneShirley> And doing fine, thank you!
[01:55] <josher4> AnneShirley: That is good
[01:55] <erisco> how do I share an Internet connection on Ubuntu?
[01:56] <nbeebo> gogereaver, theres 2 options one is ALSA PCM other is monitor source, rest is the same, capture etc
[01:56] <nbeebo> gogereaver, i cant use sound yet no speakers, so i cant test
[01:56] <erisco> I am connected to a wireless network that provides me with Internet, and I am connected to a wired network that I want to provide Internet to. how can I accomplish this in 8.10?
[01:56] <Emerica> Jrib: solved.
[01:56] <AnneShirley> josher4: Are you a Ubuntu expert?
[01:57] <dr_willis> !ics | erisco
[01:57] <gogereaver> nbeebo looks like its your option window on your setup
[01:57] <gogereaver> nbeebo inout source
[01:57] <gogereaver> nbeebo input
[01:57] <erisco> dr_willis, thanks
[01:57] <josher4> AnneShirley: Lol. no. I'm just getting started. Windows and Mac expert though. Linux: Not so much
[01:57] <savvas> AnneShirley: ask your question, someone will probably know the answer
[01:57] <josher4> AnneShirley: Though I have read up on it
[01:58] <AnneShirley> savvas: I have no problem.
[01:58] <nbeebo> gogereaver,  there is 2 of those 'input source" , both with the options - mic, front mic, line and cd
[01:58] <savvas> AnneShirley: then... why do you want an ubuntu expert? :)
[01:58] <josher4> savvas: She is just wondering...
[01:58] <AnneShirley> josher4: I'm getting started on Ubuntu. Have experience on Fedora and openSUSE.
[01:58] <savvas> ah, kinky :p
[01:58] <AnneShirley> savvas: I just wanted to know.
[01:58] <gogereaver> nbeebo then it looks right
[01:58] <josher4> AnneShirley: Some on Fedora
[01:58] <nbeebo> this isnt a dating channel all..
[01:59] <savvas> no offense, AnneShirley :) Welcome aboard!
[01:59] <nbeebo> gogereaver, hm ok, which should i choose?
[01:59] <eseven73> lol nbeebo
[01:59] <gogereaver> nbeebo it should grab any sound
[01:59] <AnneShirley> savvas: Thanks!
[01:59] <martin__> yall got the cube going?
[01:59] <gogereaver> nbeebo mic with the speaker unmuted in recording looks correct
[01:59] <AnneShirley> josher4: I have experience on XP and Vista, and some OS X 10.3
[01:59] <josher4> AnneShirley: Nice
[02:00] <nbeebo> gogereaver, but which options with those input source stuff, line mic mic boost or cd? line?
[02:00] <josher4> AnneShirley: What made you come to Ubuntu?
[02:00] <gogereaver> nbeebo just turn off the mic you dont whant it capturing both
[02:00] <nbeebo> !o4o
[02:00] <gogereaver> nbeebo it doesent relly matter
[02:00] <jrib> josher4, AnneShirley: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, #ubuntu is dedicated for support
[02:00] <erisco> dr_willis, I have to do setup on the client as well?
[02:00] <AnneShirley> josher4: Looks like we're getting in trouble...
[02:00] <nbeebo> gogereaver, but it doesnt work, tried with sound...
[02:00] <gogereaver> nbeebo its a old trick with soundcards
[02:00] <josher4> jrib: So sorry. Wont happen again
[02:01] <gogereaver> nbeebo humm maybe it just doesent support it
[02:01] <dr_willis> erisco,   not messed with that in ages.. i dont recall much setup needed on the client end..  Perhaps set the gateway/dns to be the ics server..
[02:01] <gogereaver> nbeebo i have a capture option in alisa
[02:01] <nbeebo> gogereaver, NooooooOoOoo.... maybe do it in another way, within the system not the soundcard
[02:01] <erisco> dr_willis, I have zero ability to setup anything on the client. its DHCP or nothing
[02:01] <nbeebo> gogereaver, alsa* just so u wont type that again..
[02:02] <lomez> hi, i just installed ubuntu on a new laptop, i have it installed on my desktop as well
[02:02] <dr_willis> erisco,  no idea then.  of course you could set up a dhcp server :)
[02:02] <gogereaver> nbeebo that lets me switch  my input fro my mic to master/pcm
[02:02] <nbeebo> gogereaver, ok
[02:02]  * overridex dances
[02:02] <lomez> hi, i just installed ubuntu on a new laptop, i have it installed on my desktop as well
[02:02] <lomez> when i plug in an external hd, it displays thi
[02:02] <lomez> s
[02:02] <erisco> dr_willis, is this easier with firestarter?
[02:02] <eseven73> !enter | lomez
[02:02] <erisco> dr_willis, I tried firestarter in the past but it completely screwed up iptables and I couldn't connect to anything anymore
[02:02] <dr_willis> erisco,  no idea.  firestarter does the exact same 'commands' it just has a gui to them..
[02:03] <lomez> sorry eseven73
[02:03] <erisco> dr_willis, and I couldn't find anyway to set iptables back to the default
[02:03] <gogereaver> nbeebo im a acer one fan lol not  eepc
[02:03] <dr_willis> erisco,  'sudo iptables --flush' i recall. :)
[02:03] <nbeebo> gogereaver, uhm ok lol
[02:03] <dr_willis> !iptables
[02:04] <erisco> dr_willis, will this remove important things I need though?
[02:04] <lomez> it says bad fs, cannot mount
[02:04] <jacobcream> why isnt Amarok working??
[02:04] <lomez> or badsuperblock
[02:04] <gogereaver> nbeebo you could always run a cable from the sound card to line in its cheap and easy
[02:04] <dr_willis> erisco,  it fluses out/removes all existing iptables rules that you have setup..   check iptables docs/guides to see how it works..
[02:04] <jacobcream> every time i try to play some music : it says "Audio output unavialble the device is busy"
[02:04] <lomez> even when i type sudo mount /dev/sdc1, it doesnt work
[02:05] <sztomi> is there a deb package for QGtkStyle?
[02:05] <gogereaver> nbeebo all you need is a pice of 4m audio cable and a ipod head phone spliter
[02:05] <dr_willis> lomez,  you may want to give a full proper mount command with all needed options.
[02:05] <gogereaver> nbeebo so you dont need to kep removing it
[02:06] <erisco> dr_willis, firestarter is freezing on me
[02:06] <erisco> dr_willis, whenever I try to select a list of devices it freezes for a few seconds
[02:06] <lomez>  dr_willis thanks, i just want the external hd to automatically mount wheni plug it in, it does that on my desktop ubuntu install
[02:06] <dr_willis> erisco,  i never use firestarter.. so no idea. could be its doing some scanning/work
[02:06] <Zemus> Hey everyone. :) I realize this is a little off topic, but could anyone recommend an open source alternative to Ghost, for drive imaging? I will award internets. ^.^
[02:06] <erisco> dr_willis, it is running very very slow
[02:07] <savvas> Zemus: have you tried www.osalt.com ?
[02:07] <dr_willis> lomez,    check output of 'dmesg' command befor/after you plug it in and look for error messages.. Mount it manually with the proper options if needed..
[02:07] <Zemus> savvas: no, I'll check it out. Do you have experience with it?
[02:07] <lomez> dr_willis, can you explain those proper  options
[02:08] <lomez> im kind of an ubuntu noob, so i dont really understand. it just works on my other ubuntu install, but im willing to do any kind of work to get it going her
[02:08] <lomez> e
[02:08] <savvas> Zemus: it's a site that proposes alternatives to windows/closed-source applications :)
[02:08] <dr_willis> lomez,  theres tons of guides on mounting drives inder linux. basics - 'sudo mount /dev/DEVICENAME /media/mountpoint  -o OPTIONS THAT DEPEND ON YOUR FILESYSTEM
[02:08] <dr_willis> !mount
[02:09] <Zemus> Oh, heh, I see that. Thanks, savvas, I'll check it out. :)
[02:09] <lomez> e
[02:09] <nbeebo> gogereaver, hmm back.. yeah maybe i should, but what u mean with the ipod part?
[02:09] <lomez> e;/
[02:09] <nbeebo> gogereaver,  oh now i see
[02:09] <savvas> Zemus: the application clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/ has been suggested a few times by others. maybe give it a try
[02:09] <lomez> damnit new keyboard, sorry, its not partitioning a new install though
[02:09] <nbeebo> gogereaver, i think i have one, or i can buy one at computer store
[02:09] <gogereaver> nbeebo yea cuple bucks at walmart
[02:10] <gogereaver> nbeebo for both parts
[02:10] <gogereaver> nbeebo just run the 4mm cable from the soundcards output to line in
[02:10] <jhalstead> I have a 28GB tar file.  it's so large Archive Manager seams to be hanging.  I'd like to open it in terminal or something to delete the biggest file.
[02:10] <gogereaver> nbeebo the splitter lets you conect your speakers to
[02:10] <nbeebo> gogereaver, pretty expensive to pay 1000 dollars for a trip to walmart.. lol
[02:11] <gogereaver> nbeebo well any store
[02:11] <Zemus> savvas: thanks
[02:11] <nbeebo> gogereaver, yeah i know, im logical thinker...
[02:11] <nbeebo> gogereaver, ok thanks and buy all try that tomorrow
[02:12] <gogereaver> nbeebo yea then line in is capturing all sound output
[02:12] <gogereaver> nbeebo old tv cards used this trick
[02:12] <Zemus> Whoa, savvas, clonezilla looks fantastic, thanks very much! :)
[02:12] <nbeebo> gogereaver, k ill try right away then.. lol

[02:17] <box> if im hosting a site with ubuntu and i created a index.html on another machine would i upload it to /etc/httpd ? or where
[02:18] <nbeebo> gogereaver, yep.. but really everything is technical.. even atoms o_O
[02:18] <eseven73> phrostbite: you can press tab after typing like 'myk' then it fills in the entire name for you :)
[02:18] <phrostbite> Yeah it can. Maybe I need to troubleshoot as to why its not picking up my friend who is logged in.
[02:18] <phrostbite> oh thanks eseven73 :)
[02:18] <eseven73> anytime
[02:18] <myk_robinson> box: it can be in several places.. For example, i host sql-ledger for my business on one of my machines, and the location is /usr/local/sql-ledger

[02:19] <joejc> is there any way to convert a .tivo file in ubuntu?

[02:22] <nbeebo> gogereaver, different sound port*
[02:22] <myk_robinson> Circs: are you on it now? are you able to get an Ethernet connection?
[02:22] <Circs> myk_robinson: yes it gets a wired connection
[02:22] <gogereaver> nbeebo with the line in lead setup i said any output on your pc can be recorded
[02:23] <myk_robinson> if so, have all updates been run? What does the restricted driver manager say about it?
[02:23] <gogereaver> nbeebo no hacks nedded
[02:23] <techsupport> maybe can anyone recommend me a VPS service provider in U.S. East ?
[02:23] <phrostbite> I don't know if this is an ubuntu question but we recently got verizon internet and on there computer they have a shared folder. Well is there a way to have that folder so i can access it from my laptop and put stuff into the shared folder?
[02:23] <gogereaver> nbeebo dont knoe why your softwhere doesent have that option
[02:23] <nbeebo> gogereaver, yeah... .. but trying to broadcast internet radio through a game.. but maybe u can do that with mounting a directory/folder as a cd...
[02:24] <joejc> how do i make a script?
[02:24] <usr13> Circs: You sure it's not working?
[02:24] <Circs> myk_robinson: can't do that atm, but i can tell you what i see
[02:24] <Circs> usr13: yes
[02:24] <myk_robinson> Circs: nevermind about the lshw, you already provided the chipset. Have you run all updates?
[02:24] <Circs> myk_robinson: yes
[02:25] <myk_robinson> that chipset should pull a driver through the restricted driver manager.. Hang on a sec.
[02:25] <gogereaver> nbeebo acully that would  mean you need brodcastong softwhere that supports mp3 playback
[02:25] <usr13> core2troll: See:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174

[02:26] <Seracht> anyone tried running office 2007 with WINE?
[02:26] <myk_robinson> oh. I had that same chipset on a laptop running 8.04 too, had to jump through some hoops, but documented it
[02:26] <nbeebo> gogereaver, hmm yeah.. but ill take that later on
[02:26] <PrivateRolf> Searacht: No, but if you buy Crossover, some of the profit goes to developing WINE, as it is a WINE port.
[02:26] <gogereaver> nbeebo never did it in linux but i bet icecash can do it
[02:26] <myk_robinson> Circs: i wil look for the doc i made, i got to where I could get it working in three minutes from a clean install.. be right back

[02:31] <rww> phrostbite: that should about cover the basics
[02:31] <myk_robinson> circs: I will have directions for you in just a few more minutes, typing it up
[02:31] <circs> myk_robinson: I'm now on the mini 9
[02:31] <jrib> joejc: well basically, you make the first line read "#!/bin/bash" and then enter commands line by line.  You don't seem that comfortable doing this.  Why do you want to?
[02:31] <PrivateRolf> Anyone know how to authorize launchpad PPAs?
[02:31] <myk_robinson> circs: the wifi is BCM4310 rev 01? The revision is VERY important
[02:31] <titefuzz> is this a help channel?
[02:31] <circs> Yes
[02:32] <titefuzz> nevermind
[02:32] <titefuzz> just read topic
[02:32] <circs> myk_robinson: It is, and now I can pastebin whatever you need
[02:32] <Vigo> phrostbite: is a secure site, but yes, look like it can and has been done,,,
[02:32] <Vigo> phrostbite: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-October/161147.html
[02:32] <joejc> jrib, i found a script in text formate and i want to use it
[02:33] <titefuzz> I am running wine and use a program that primarily uses the clipboard to grab copied data from a webpage.  Is there some fix for wine and the clipboard ?
[02:33] <TriBeCa99> anyone know how to copy ALL the data off a partition, including the entire OS, to another partition?
[02:33] <ahklerner> ! audio drivers
[02:33] <myk_robinson> circs: while I'm typing, please obtain the driver by typing this into a console          wget ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R174291.exe
[02:33] <TriBeCa99> i'm told it can be done with a LiveCD, but I can't figure out how to do it with the Ubuntu LiveCD
[02:33] <Barridus> can i make a script just by creating an empty file and putting commands in it?
[02:33] <jrib> joejc: be more specific.  What does the script do?  Running random scripts you find but do not understand is a great way to compromise your system
[02:33] <gogereaver> neebo http://www.gnuware.com/icecast/chap_09_04.html

[02:33] <mike_> HI, Can anyone help me install STARCRAFT on my ubuntu system? I have the iso's only and dont even know where to being
[02:33] <titefuzz> barridus,yes
[02:34] <Barridus> ok cool, thank you
[02:34] <jrib> Barridus: yes.  You should make the first line "#!/bin/bash" or whatever interpreter you want
[02:34] <phrostbite> vigo thats exactly what I needed. I appreciate it very much. You all that have done an excellent job helping me.
[02:34] <Barridus> ok that's handy too
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !games > mike_
[02:34] <Barridus> any particular character between commands?  or just enter
[02:34] <Vigo> phrosbite: my pleasure
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> mike_, See also !appdb
[02:34] <ahklerner> !audio
[02:34] <jrib> joejc: just put the script somewhere, make it executable, and then execute it by providing its path
[02:35] <ArrPirate> is there a way to make it so a grub option has a password on it?
[02:35] <joejc> so what do i save it as?
[02:35] <jrib> Barridus: just enter is fine.   I am not looking at pidgin at present, but if i'm directly addressed, I will hear it  thanks
[02:35] <Hector> There are way too many users here.
[02:36] <circs> myk_robinson: Not a problem
[02:36] <Barridus> i am quickly acquiring a vast array of useful bookmarks, you guys are great
[02:36] <ArrPirate> I have dual boot windows and ubuntu and I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so you have to put in a password to select the windows option in grub, if that's at all possible
[02:36] <pwnedulongtime> anyone know how to remove orphaned gconf keys?
[02:37] <Vigo> ArrPirate: Grub is pass locked by default, then there are screen locks and stuff that can be atou activated or manually invoked
[02:37] <myk_robinson> circs: do you have the driver done yet?
[02:37] <keelow> what is the best ssh client for x windows

[02:40] <ArrPirate> when I install something through Synaptic it often installs all the dependencies as well, but then I uninstall the main thing and at least some of the dependencies stay behind and I can't remember what file go to what... is there a solution for this that I'm missing?
[02:40] <Dexi> can someone explain the ~/.file thing to me? what does the ~ represent?
[02:40] <funkyHat> ArrPirate: use aptitude instead
[02:40] <Zemus> Dexi: it's an abbreviation of the directory path that you're in.
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Dexi, /home/$USER
[02:41] <essial> dEXI: ~ means home
[02:41] <Dexi> ohk
[02:41] <myk_robinson> circs: you got pretty fast internet? I will need to sendspace you some files. Had to use Wine to get the data out of the file from Dell
[02:41] <Dexi> ok so i have ~/.xchat2 but i cant find that folder in the file browser
[02:41] <Vigo> Aptitude is supported now?
[02:41] <essial> I have a problem with firefox starting in a restored (not maximized) state that fills the entire window, making it impossible to move -- this happens on a regular basis, anyone else have this problem?
[02:41] <circs> myk_robinson: 5meg
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Dexi, .means hidden
[02:41] <Dexi> ooh
[02:42] <jacobcream> byeeee
[02:42] <essial> Dexi: press ctrl+h
[02:42] <circs> myk_robinson: Also i followed this little bit here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#Step%201:%20All%20BCM43xx%20-%20Install%20NDISWrapper%20and%20Blacklist%20Native%20Driver

[02:42] <Dexi> haha ok so can i put that . in front of whatever i want without messing up anything?
[02:43] <essial> Dexi: yes
[02:43] <essial> .whtaever doesn't hide it in general, but most graphical file browsers hide files/folders that start with .
[02:43] <Dexi> cool

[02:44] <pwnedulongtime> never understood the logic behind hiding ~/. directories...since that's where the user configs live for most apps
[02:44] <essial> !sound
[02:44] <ArrPirate> funkyHat: Wow! Seems that does exactly what I wanted! However, the interface is kinda not my thing. Are there better GUI front ends?
[02:45] <savvas> ArrPirate: for what?
[02:45] <essial> travis_: in general you extract the tar, go to it in a console, and do: ./configure     make   then sudo make install
[02:45] <essial> but check to make sure there isn't a .deb for it
[02:45] <ArrPirate> savvas: aptitude
[02:45] <travis_> Essial it comes with a xml and lots of pictures
[02:45] <ahklerner> hey how do i get the volume control app
[02:46] <savvas> ArrPirate: tried system > administration > synaptic or applications > add/remove... ?
[02:46] <essial> travis_: try dragging the tar.gz to the apperances dialog
[02:46] <Vigo> travis: I think I saw that in Synaptic,,,maybe an apt-get or whatever?
[02:47] <travis_> essial: it says its not a valid the,e
[02:47] <ArrPirate> savvas: It doesn't remove the dependencies sometimes
[02:47] <myk_robinson> circs: sorry , had a call from a roofer..
[02:47] <myk_robinson> circs: do yo uhave wine installed?
[02:47] <essial> ah menu theme
[02:48] <Laderius> When i minimize my windows they just dissappear how can i et em back?
[02:48] <Laderius> they dont stack on the taskbar
[02:48] <circs> myk_robinson: No
[02:48] <Zemus> Laderius: no, they are gone forever
[02:48] <travis_> essial: what do i do
[02:48] <Laderius> Zemus, oh, how would i minimize and keep em
[02:48] <myk_robinson> circs: this will save me an upload.. Please run form console:   sudo aptitude install wine    or, do you have a Windows machine nearby?
[02:48] <essial> I think its for an app called GnoMenu, a seperate application from normal gnome
[02:49] <travis_>  Essial k hold
[02:49] <travis_> ill try
[02:49] <essial> again not 100% sure though

[02:50] <circs> myk_robinson: Installing wine atm
[02:50] <savvas> ArrPirate: yeah, you can head to synaptic > lower right corner, Status > check "Installed (local or obsolete)" and " Not installed(residual config)"
[02:50] <erisco> I have my shared internet partially working. my client machine complains about DNS though. how do I configure this part?
[02:50] <leoechevarria> sagredo: use the command 'fdisk -l' in root mode
[02:50] <travis_> essial
[02:50] <Laderius> vigo yep
[02:50] <travis_> It dont work
[02:50] <leoechevarria> haya there
[02:50] <Laderius> vigo when i minimise firefox it just dissappears
[02:50] <erisco> right now I am using dhcp3 for DHCP. will this collide with dnsmasq?
[02:50] <myk_robinson> circs: when that is done, run    winecfg       then report back, please
[02:51] <savvas> ArrPirate: sorry, lower left corner :)
[02:51] <circs> myk_robinson: ok

[02:53] <ArrPirate> savvas: No, what that in fact does is tell me if there are uninstalled programs with residual config files still in my home directory
[02:53] <travis_> Jack_Sparrow
[02:54] <Vigo> Laderius: Maybe remove or replace the bottom tray. Then size it up the way you prefer.
[02:54] <Laderius> Vigo, could it be settings in compfuisn or w/e
[02:54] <Seracht> http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=98668&d=1231071844 -- in the screenshot here, what is the application docked to the right called?

[03:09] <ra21vi> Redcard: Installing on vista, using wubi
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> davit: its not very secure
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, Actually, that is a much better choice that wubi.. from inside windows
[03:09] <tyler_d> Redcard: first mistake... vista.... second, resizing the partition... don't think it will like that 2 much
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> than
[03:09] <Redcard> tyler_d: The computer came with it, didn't have a real choice.  So how long does the resize typically take?

[03:10] <ActionParsnip> davit: how are you mounting it? try using UIDs etc to set permissions
[03:10] <tyler_d> Redcard: my concern would be what utility are you using to resize the partition?
[03:10] <vickinha_nit> oi amigos
[03:10] <Redcard> tyler_d: Guided install.
[03:10] <tyler_d> Redcard: as windows vista is pretty picky about how big it thinks it is....
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> davit: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users
[03:11] <davit> actionparsnip: It automounts when I connect it, and when i right click on drive to change permissions says they cannot be found
[03:11] <Redcard> It seemed to recognize it was vista, and left the loader.  I'd assume (and probabbly incorrectly) that it would have popped a warning if it thought it shouldn't be done
[03:11] <CaneToad> I have a Ubuntu install but the GRUB bootblock is erased.  What's the best plan of attack to reinstall grub for it?
[03:11] <tyler_d> Redcard: with guided it should take maybe maybe 5 minutes
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> davit: i'd check the options its mounting with
[03:11] <Redcard> tyler_d: It's a guided resize.  It's had the "Please wait" message up for about 30 minutes
[03:11] <con-man> I LOVE LAMP

[03:12] <dwidmann> Hmm, I've changed video cards from an nvidia card (it died) an ati card, and I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so I have the right resolution on my monitors, anybody have a sample xorg.conf or 2 that I might find useful?
[03:12] <tyler_d> Redcard: thats scary, hopefully someone will confirm my course of action... restart, and ensure that vista is still in tact before trying again
[03:12] <davit> actionparsnip: How can i check it
[03:12] <phil> Dam0: pop open a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal) and type    sudo apt-get install apache2           then just put your website files in /var/www
[03:12] <erisco> I cannot get DNS to resolve on a box on my internal LAN. Internet is shared from this computer, acting as a gateway, to the Internet. how can I start troubleshooting?
[03:12] <tokyoahead> hi guys... is it a good idea to install a higher version of wine than the default? It seems very old (1.0.1) as opposed to the current (1.1.12)

[03:14] <ActionParsnip> davit: good, then you should be ok
[03:14] <_dennister> hey channel, finally got my xorg.conf using my video card properly, now totem doesn't crash when starting a commercial dvd, but vlc does crash with a dvd with these settings...lol...vlc doesn't crash while playing a flash video, so it's dvd-specific
[03:15] <_dennister> anyone know why this might happen?
[03:15] <spencer> anyway to force the v4l2 to use xine instead of gstreamer?? really not a big fan of gstreamer at all!
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> davit: thats your / partition, not the mounted drive
[03:15] <spencer> it just somehow messed up all my stuff after my last update
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> davit: you usb drive wil be /media/<something>
[03:16] <omarco> Can I make my shell script do an specific action when it receives a "ctrl+c"?
[03:17] <x_> hi there
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> omarco: it'll stop, ctrl+c == break
[03:17] <davit> actionparsnip: the folder is /media/disk
[03:17] <leonut> test
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> davit: so what does mount say about that mounting?
[03:17] <\kira> leonut: Your test worked
[03:17] <titefuzz> I am running wine and use a program that primarily uses the clipboard to grab copied data from a webpage.  Is there some fix for wine and the clipboard ?
[03:18] <davit> actionparsnip: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> titefuzz, /join #winehq
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> davit: thats cool, ext3 is nice and friendly
[03:18] <erisco> can anyone help me get DNS resolving on my internal network? I am not sure how to diagnose the problem at this point. I simply cannot reach the world wide web
[03:18] <titefuzz> ty Jack_Sparrow
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:18] <omarco> ActionParsnip: Only more elaborate programs can control what to do if the user presses "ctrl+c" (e.g. removing lock files)?
[03:18] <\kira> If I set up a tunnel, can I send more than one application through that tunnel? So rather than setting up a tunnel for xchat, then one for firefox, could I just put them both through the same tunnel?
[03:18] <tyler_d> erisco: what does traceroute show you as your gateway?
[03:19] <kitche> \kira: yes
[03:19] <tyler_d> erisco: alternately from term what does `route` show ?
[03:19] <werdnum> omarco: sure they can.
[03:19] <\kira> kitche: cool, thanks
[03:19] <werdnum> You need to trap SIGINT
[03:19] <davit> actionparsnip: Its not allowing me to change or edit any files on the drive
[03:19] <erisco> tyler_d, execute these on the gateway?
[03:19] <werdnum> which I have no idea how to do in shell scriptish
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> davit: i'd try sudo chmod -R 755 /media.disk
[03:19] <_dennister> lol...spoke too soon...totem did play the dvd, but now is crashing just like vlc
[03:19] <omarco> werdnum: but lowly shell scripts can't do that, can they?
[03:19] <erisco> tyler_d, the internal network uses HDCP
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> davit: i'd also chown to files to your username if it intends to be a permanent fixture
[03:19] <erisco> tyler_d, HDCP*
[03:19] <erisco> ...
[03:20] <erisco> tyler_d, DHCP** :P
[03:20] <mr_sukor> :-O
[03:20] <erisco> tyler_d, IP addresses get assigned correctly. however, DNS does not resolve.
[03:20] <davit> actionparsnip: Cool the chmod fixed it
[03:20] <erisco> tyler_d, I have been following this: http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/how-to-share-your-internet-connection-on-ubuntu/
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> erisco: can you ping IPs?
[03:20] <goat|lappy> erisco: so you can visit <IP_ADDRESS>?
[03:21] <davit> actionparsnip: How do I use chown
[03:21] <tyler_d> erisco: in a terminal paste `route` and tell me the output please, if its over 2 lines please use pastebin
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> davit: sudo chown -R <yourusername> /media/disk
[03:21] <_dennister> i'll be back in a few minutes folks...
[03:21] <davit> actionparsnip: Ok
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> davit: -R == recursive
[03:22] <erisco> tyler_d, http://pastebin.ca/1302050
[03:22] <con-man> !I love map | con-man
[03:22] <tyler_d> erisco: from the term does `ping yahoo.com` resolve? or just sit there?
[03:22] <davit> actionparsnip: Thanks youve been only one that bee able to help I been looking for a week
[03:23] <erisco> tyler_d, it just sits there
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> its a common command dude, im suprised
[03:23] <erisco> tyler_d, do you want these executed on the gateway or a computer in the internal network?
[03:23] <spencer> anyone can help me with my v4l2 issue?
[03:23] <davit> actionparsnip: Everyone else has been telling me to repartionin and stuff
[03:23] <tyler_d> erisco: what do you mean by "on the gateway"?
[03:23] <mr_sukor> v4l2?
[03:23] <mr_sukor> what thats
[03:24] <erisco> tyler_d, my computer is acting as the gateway to the internal network
[03:24] <\kira> how could I trace the route a tunnel takes?
[03:24] <spencer> that's the video 4 linux lib
[03:24] <erisco> tyler_d, as I posted the link, I am trying to share an internet connection coming over wifi with a wired network
[03:24] <davit> actionparsnip: I remembered chmod from servers i had but couldn't remember he command
[03:24] <tyler_d> \kira: install trace route
[03:24] <kitche> erisco: by chance did you set the dhcpcd server to pass the dns servers along as well or no?
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> davit: no need, just take ownership
[03:24] <\kira> tyler_d: I have it installed....
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the permissi
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ons are set
[03:24] <spencer> mr_sukor: it allow programs like amsn to use webcam.
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> davit: should have read the man pages
[03:24] <tyler_d> erisco: you need to set the gateway back to your router, judging from your post it should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:24] <mr_sukor> ic
[03:24] <mr_sukor> i'm using pidgin
[03:25] <\kira> tyler_d: Im wondering how I could trace the route a tunnel on a port takes, rather than the traditional way it does it (not sure how)
[03:25] <mr_sukor> and still wait for the webcam option
[03:25] <erisco> kitche, well, in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf there is a configuration option to specify the DNS server, and it is correct
[03:25] <ari_stress> tyler_d: why ubuntu by default install traceroute6 and not the usual traceroute?
[03:25] <spencer> mr_sukor, don't hold your breath on it.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: i dont tyhink pidgin likes webcams, amsn does if you are using msn protocol
[03:25] <spencer> mr_sukor, not a big fan of the whole situation with that.
[03:25] <erisco> tyler_d, that command was run on my computer though, not from a computer on the internal network
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip, That factoid covers  it correctly right
[03:26] <erisco> tyler_d, should the gateway not be <IP_ADDRESS> which is the address of this computer?
[03:26] <kitche> ari_stress: it installs both
[03:26] <davit> actionparsnip: thanks again
[03:26] <spencer> mr_sukor, the lead developers of pidgin pretty much say they don't care.. we'll do it whenever we feel like it..
[03:26] <mr_sukor> ic
[03:26] <mr_sukor> thanks spencer
[03:27] <erisco> tyler_d, am I making sense?
[03:27] <ari_stress> kitche: no, i don't have ordinary traceroute by default, only traceroute6, strange
[03:27] <mr_sukor> do u know how to install amsn by using command prompt?
[03:27] <K_Dallas> Good evening!  This is the first time I dual boot vista with anything. XP has always been all right. Thanks
[03:27] <omarco> Is it possible to control what a shell script would do if it receives a "CTRL+C" (e.g. removing a pseudo lock file)? Or is that only possible with more refined programs?
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mr_sukor, sudo apt-get install amsn
[03:27] <mr_sukor> ok
[03:27] <mr_sukor> thanks
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> spencer: as is the case with any project
[03:28] <snowveil> what command do I use to list all hard drives currently connected to my system?
[03:28] <spencer> anyway, can someone help me with my v4l2 issue?
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> snowveil: sudo fdisk -l
[03:28] <mr_sukor> is ubuntu have software like virtual drive?
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> snowveil, sodu fdisk -l
[03:28] <snowveil> thanks :)
[03:28] <\kira> K_Dallas: yes, there is extra steps to take to avoid not being able to boot into windows, or not being able to boot into ubuntu, or deleting windows by accedint. I personnally, have never done dual boot and wouldnt know, but i do know there is alot of well written tutorials online (google)
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: you can mount isos in a stock system
[03:29] <snowveil> k, dev/sdc
[03:29] <snowveil> how would I format it?
[03:29] <mr_sukor> do u mean extract it?
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[03:29] <spencer> ActionParsnip, well, yeah, but there's enuf demand, and gaim-vv does have a startup framework.. it's a good start on getting it done.
[03:29] <Redcard> Wow.  I'm amazed that worked.
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> snowveil, gparted
[03:29] <K_Dallas> \kira> well, I only meant extra steps due to vista being vista otherwise have done dual boot with xp, linux, ...
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: you can mount it just like you mount cd drives
[03:30] <minus18_pundit> how can install the packages i have downloaded through Add/Remove. i coudn't install the packages last time due to a power outage. i've downloaded almost 140 packges.
[03:30] <spencer> ActionParsnip, and don't get me started with their decision on moving to monotone as the version control.. it just make it that much less friendly to start hacking the project...
[03:30] <\kira> K_Dallas: oh, I see. I wouldnt think there would be any extra steps, but im not the person to ask, I tried vista on a friends computer and will never go near it again.
[03:30] <Dracie_> hi, how do i get mozilla's firefox "All Downloads Are finished" dialog from covering up my gnome panel
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> spencer: i just use stuff, i dont care for any politics
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> minus18_pundit, are they all from our repos..
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone
[03:30] <mr_sukor> some of windows game cant play well in ubuntu?
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: the system will see the iso or the physical cd as the same
[03:30] <savvas> minus18_pundit: you go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo apt-get -f install
[03:30] <mr_sukor> any ideas?
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | mr_sukor
[03:31] <K_Dallas> \kira> ok, thanks. I continue googling ;)
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb > mr_sukor
[03:31] <spencer> mr_sukor, goto winehq and take a look.
[03:31] <Redcard> Found what I did :P  Sillyness.
[03:31] <jessid> !lan | jessid
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: theres also cedega which is paidfor software as well as crossover office (also nonfree)
[03:31] <spencer> mr_sukor, search for the app, they will tell you if it's playable.. i play WoW everynight with my Ubuntu 8.10...
[03:31] <\kira> K_Dallas: well, someone else on here might know, the only reason I pointed you to google in the first place is because I thought you were asking alot of a more basic question
[03:32] <jessid> !intranet > jessid
[03:32] <Redcard> So how many partitions should I create since I get to do this manually?
[03:32] <spencer> mr_sukor, sometimes you may have to copy some files from your XP c:\windows\system32 to your .wine folder tho.. just check winehq from more info on what you wanna do
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, at least 3
[03:32] <K_Dallas> \kira> that is all right. I am really googling and there is no shame in it :):) Thanks again
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, / = root  /home  and a swap at minimum
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> Redcard: you'll need a / and /swap at least, i'd suggest a sepearate one for /home too
[03:33] <\kira> K_Dallas: no problem, good luck :)
[03:33] <Redcard> Jack_Sparrow: Okay.. none of these will be at beginning of the disk.
[03:33] <snowveil> if I want this drive to be readable to both windows machines and linux, will ext2 work fine, or should I stick with fat32?
[03:33] <minus18_pundit> savvas: it installed something bbut those were not what i have downloaded last night
[03:33] <ross_> hi
[03:33] <daw> any idea why Banshee would be failing to play everything in my music directory? It's all .mp3's without any form of DRM
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, You will probably need to create an extended partition to hold logicals if you go over 4 partitions
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> daw: have you instaled mp3 codecs?
[03:34] <daw> oh ... well .. that would be a good reason ..... what package would I look in for those?
[03:34] <\kira> snowveil: you cant read ex2 file systems in windows without additional software, and I would recommend fat32 if it needs to be used constantly by both operating systems. I guess it depends on how much each OS will be using it
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | daw
[03:34] <savvas> minus18_pundit: if the packages were downloaded or not completed, the add/remove downloader will continue from where it left. So you go back to Applications > Add/Remove and check again what you wanted :)
[03:34] <Redcard> Hmm.
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> snowveil, Just to clarify...  you cant install ubuntu on fat or ntfs
[03:34] <leonut> test
[03:34] <\kira> snowveil: also (in case I miss-understood your question, you cant install linux on fat or ntfs
[03:34] <snowveil> thanks \kira , it's mostly for occasional transfers from my system to a friend's
[03:34] <kc8pxy> Jack_Sparrow:  not even w/ wubi?
[03:35] <savvas> daw: install the package named ubuntu-restricted-extras :)
[03:35] <\kira> snowveil: No problem :)
[03:35] <snowveil> correct, this is a portable drive :)
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> kc8pxy, No
[03:35] <Quagmire> Hello Jack_Sparrow ...I have a no new laptop that is all but 100% compatible with Ubuntu, but on to my question. I'm just not happy unless I'm trying to do something with a little challenge involved. I have executable text file that I brought over from my windows pc and I want to open it.
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> kc8pxy, Wubi does not install to an ntfs it creates a lvm
[03:35] <kitche> kc8pxy: since wubi installs inside of a image which has the ext* filesystem inside of it
[03:35] <yoyit2> is there any way to get a TrendNet TEW-444UB to work with ubuntu?
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, setup vbox
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: what is it?
[03:36] <mr_sukor> jack : why my ubuntu font rendering keep changing?
[03:36] <Quagmire> Jack_Sparrow,  Hmmm just look for the software and install?
[03:36] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: its a usb wifi stick
[03:36] <\kira> in the terminal, the command 'ls', what does the color of a directory with a blue backgroun and white text mean?
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !vbox
[03:36] <kc8pxy> kitche: Quagmire  just run it via wine :)
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, Use synaptic and look up virtualbox
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: ok then run lsusb, it will give you an identifier you can websearch for
[03:37] <Quagmire> thanks!
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, Depending on what type of exe.. even dosbox might work
[03:37] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: in terminal??
[03:37] <kc8pxy> Quagmire:  do you want to run windows inside your linux, (virtualbox) or run it "natively" (wine) ??
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: always in terminal
[03:38] <spencer> ActionParsnip, i'm always having issue with gstreamer on the color being negative.. do you have any lights to shed???
[03:38] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: so just type in "lsusb" or "sudo lsusb"??
[03:38] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: Wubi doesn't create an lvm. It creates a loopback file system inside a file in the ntfs partition. I think you got your L-jargon mixed up ;)
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: lsusb
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: you dont need sudo for every terminal command
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rww, thanks'
[03:38] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: ok so it says "now firmware"?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rww, I wont use or recommend it since it was part of a crash that wiped out my ntfs and windows
[03:39] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: **no
[03:39] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: any other ideas?
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: can you give a pastebin of lsusb
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> !paste | yoyit2
[03:39] <minus18_pundit> i want to back all my downloaded package through aptoncd. but aptoncd only shows 350 mb sized packages. i have downloaded 10 times more then that. how can have all my packages llisted in aptoncd?
[03:39] <kc8pxy> rrw: it makes a file to be a loopback ext3 fs, and simply loads the fs loopback from within the ntfs it can ntfs-3g??? :)
[03:39] <Quagmire> Jack_Sparrow, there are a bunch of them to choose from (virtualbox) which one is likely the better one for me? 8.10 32 bit version installed
[03:39] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: can you send me a link
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: ubottu just gave you it
[03:40] <rww> kc8pxy: that sounds like an accurate description, yes
[03:40] <Galaxor> Hi.  I've got a thinkpad R61.  One day, my computer lost the ability to suspend when I close the lid.  Instead, it ... freezes?  How do I go about restoring this or at least debugging it?    When I open it back up, I've got a blank screen and the only thing I can do is forcibly shut off the computer.
[03:40] <rww> kc8pxy: I don't recommend it either, I just know quite a lot from when I used to use it.
[03:40] <candive> Hi all, Help please, hooked pc to 42 inch plasma changed resolution mistake . now i cannot change screen res back too big for my screen. what is command in terminal to change resolution back to 1154x864?
[03:40] <\kira> !fuse
[03:40] <spencer> !gstreamer
[03:40] <spencer> anyone can help me on configuring gstreamer?
[03:41] <savvas> spencer: what do you mean?
[03:41] <Quagmire> I'm not trying to run windows ...I just have a executable text file that I'm trying to get open
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire,  I installed virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-source vboxgtk and virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
[03:41] <kc8pxy> rww: doesn't that mean that if a user screws the windows, with an unclean shutdown, you will have a read-only ubuntu fs(AT BEST)??
[03:41] <savvas> Quagmire: text files open with Applications > Accessories > Text editor
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[03:41] <spencer> the hue is stuck with a value of 0, and cannot be changed so the movies are at best looking like a negative image
[03:41] <earthmeLon> I drag and drop an item onto AWN but it doesnt add the launcher/shortcut.  Any tips?
[03:42] <woli> does anybody own an xps m1530 laptop with intrepid ibex?
[03:42] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: it should be there
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: paste text in there, hit paste, give us the page yu go to
[03:42] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: just pasted it
[03:42] <rww> kc8pxy: I think that might be the case, yes. Not sure, though.
[03:42] <woli> I want to know if it is a 64-bit or 32-bit system..
