[04:04] <LjL> Och4: first, you forgot the "mount" command. second, you can't have spaces in filenames -- if you do, then you must escape them. that can be done by either 1) putting the entire path inside quotation marks or 2) using a \ before the space
[04:04] <lmr_> aventin: reboot and then tell me
[04:05] <Foon> 0.o
[04:05] <aventin> lmr_: ok, it removed the 815 (or something of the sort) that was installed and replaced it. reboot?
[04:05] <Foon> should "su" be a running process?
[04:05] <lmr_> aventin: Yes!
[04:05] <jackie> nrpil  ciau amigo..Benvenuto a ubunut
[04:05] <LjL> Och4: so, sudo mount /home/fun\ stack/My\ Persnoal\ Files/Games/Diablo\ 2/dia2.exe /media/cdrom1
[04:05] <Foon> I'm not rooted atm
[04:05] <Och4> ljl, hahah, sorry >.< i wanted the paths right i guess
[04:05] <Foon> or rather, I'm not logged in as root, or sudo'd
[04:05] <ixemptyxi> stittel: if i boot from liveCD i will get kernel panic, so i downloaded alternate cd
[04:05] <LjL> Och4: still however, you need to specify that it's a loopback mount. but are you... loopback mounting an ISO?
[04:05] <djc> hi
[04:05] <LjL> Och4: err i meant - are you loopback mounting an .exe?
[04:06] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Do you have Windows installed?
[04:06] <ixemptyxi> yes
[04:06] <stittel> ixemptyxi: The card does work fine there?
[04:06] <Och4> ljl, iso corrent. sorry, im getting hanged up on details.
[04:06] <ixemptyxi> yes
[04:06] <HOT> can someone explain the basics of what is happening when i pipe to null, is this being "securly" dumped?
[04:06] <orbin> fsckr: maybe look at the latest dmesg output.  type: dmesg | tail ... anything interesting in the laste few lines?
[04:06] <djc> I need help with autoloading application on openbox
[04:06] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Is it a PCI express card?
[04:06] <ixemptyxi> with window i cannot use integrated graphic
[04:06] <ixemptyxi> it is not PCI, AGP i think
[04:06] <LjL> Och4, the general form  for loopback mounting is   sudo mount -o loop /your/iso/file /mount/point
[04:06] <djc> I have installed 7.04 server with the openbox
[04:07] <ixemptyxi> but identified as PCI in ubuntu
[04:07] <Mapo> Hy to everyone.
[04:07] <fsckr> umm
[04:07] <Jowi> HOT, /dev/null discards all data that is sent to it.
[04:07] <aventin> lmr_: YES! it works! thaaanks! eureka!
[04:07] <LjL> !gmountiso > Och4    (Och4, see the private message from Ubotu) perhaps this can come handy as well
[04:07] <lmr_> aventin: :)
[04:07] <djc> however when I tried to autoload background and pypanel it always returns to openbox default screen
[04:07] <lmr_> aventin: Where are you from dude?
[04:07] <Och4> ljl, /mount/point/  like the media/cdrom1  (i made that up, i do have cdrom0, should i use that?)
[04:08] <djc> can Ne one help?
[04:08] <stittel> ixemptyxi: You installed using the alternative CD with the nvidia-card in?
[04:08] <aventin> lmr_: sweden!
[04:08] <Mapo> Can someone help me with config.xlm for skype on linux
[04:08] <HOT> Jowi: i get that much , but is it being written to a "blank" device or just ignored completly?
[04:08] <LjL> Och4: no, you really shouldn't use mountpoints that are already taken by a *real* CD drive.
[04:08] <aventin> lmr_: you?
[04:08] <orbin> fsckr: what's wrong?
[04:08] <ixemptyxi> stittle: ya. but not using it..
[04:08] <stittel> ixemptyxi: And when you tried the last time to boot, it was NOT doing "loading restricted drivers", right?
[04:08] <lmr_> aventin: Nice, I'm from Brazil, my name is Lucas, nice to be able to help you
[04:08] <LjL> Och4: use a directory in your home. create one for the purpose.
[04:08] <ixemptyxi> stittle: yes
[04:08] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Where was it hanging then?
[04:08] <djc> however when I tried to autoload background and pypanel it always returns to openbox default screen
[04:09] <djc> can Ne one help?
[04:09] <aventin> lmr_: oh, the beer is going to be flat when it gets to brazil i'm afraid! :) but really, i owe you!
[04:09] <fsckr> orbin, I get ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0 link becomes ready
[04:09] <fsckr> then it says not ready
[04:09] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Can you boot into single-user mode?
[04:09] <delire> is it true that it isn't possible to resize images in f-spot?
[04:09] <lmr_> aventin: Too bad I don't drink :D
[04:09] <Och4> ljl, creat a cdrom folder?  if so, .....how?
[04:09] <orbin> fsckr: i think that's relatively normal.  are you using ndiswrapper?
[04:09] <fsckr> also orbin it says no IPv6 routers present
[04:09] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Or "recovery mode" as it is called.
[04:09] <fsckr> nor orbin i am not using ndiswrapper
[04:09] <Jowi> HOT, it gets written I guess since it will report if it is successful or not.
[04:09] <lmr_> aventin: Anyway, my pleasure.
[04:09] <ixemptyxi> stittel: with nvidia cannot
[04:10] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Where it is hanging now, when "loading restricted modules" doesn't appear anymore.
[04:10] <Mapo> is there someone who knows skype???
[04:10] <stittel> ixemptyxi: If you have a camera at hand, a photo of you screen might help.
[04:10] <LjL> Och4, in Nautilus if you want. browse to your home, and tell it to create a folder. or in the terminal,  mkdir ~/anyname" (in the terminal, ~ is short for "the home directory of the current user", so that'll create it in your home directory)
[04:10] <HOT> Jowi: thanks, i know it sounds picky but im trying to get my head around what null actually is
[04:10] <aventin> lmr_: i have a feeling i'll be back. trying to get beryl to work seems like, ehh well, difficult.
[04:11] <lmr_> aventin: Not that much, if you have a 915 card
[04:11] <LjL> HOT, /dev/null is a printer that prints on invisible paper :)
[04:11] <orbin> fsckr: i'm not sure, sorry.  that's the end of my debugging capability.  i had a problem with the applet just spinning but not connecting, but it was ndiswrapper related.
[04:11] <lmr_> I mean, an intel card
[04:11] <ixemptyxi> stittel: i have, i will try to make it clear..
[04:11] <HOT> it all makes sense....
[04:11] <Jowi> HOT, written and ignored/discarded at the same time. a bit confusing :)
[04:11] <samywd> hello there, i came here to learn some english
[04:11] <fsckr> ok thank you for all your help i appreciate it
[04:11] <samywd> ill write a quite important test this week
[04:11] <aventin> lmr_: hehe, i'll try - and if i can't by myelf, you're my man! ;)
[04:11] <fsckr> i mean my card has to be working if it is finding the network right
[04:12] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Is Feisty your first Ubuntu installation?
[04:12] <zpidaz> Mapo: I don't think Skype runs in Ubuntu...
[04:12] <samywd> so i need to practise abit i hope you dont mind
[04:12] <fsckr> should I been using ndiswrapper?
[04:12] <HOT> Jowi: i presume you use it when you need to see if something hits a "target" inode but dont actually want the results
[04:12] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Or did it work on Edgy and the problem is new with Feisty?
[04:12] <snap64__> stittel http://www.fxaddict.com/community/showthread.php?t=89 i followed this tute for 32 bit
[04:12] <LjL> HOT, when you use /dev/null, you want your program to believe that its writes are succeeding. at the same time, you don't care about whatever it's writing, so you're basically just telling your program "yes, yes, don't worry, you're actually writing to a file". but you're lying.
[04:12] <lmr_> aventin: I'll get back to work then ;)
[04:12] <orbin> fsckr: well, i didn't help you completely.  the current driver seems to be working for you so i wouldn't go ndiswrapper just yet.
[04:12] <fsckr> orbin, i may have found something im trying it now
[04:13] <Mapo> Is there someone who can tell me why using skype I can ear everybody but none ears me??
[04:13] <Och4> ljl, this is the part im confused on, im just making a dir?  is that where we gonna mount diablo to?   somelike in my home like mkdir -v "/home/fun\ stack/dvdrom0/"
[04:13] <mnvl> does anyone know a good tool for burning .iso images to CD??
[04:13] <aventin> lmr_: thanks again man!
[04:13] <Och4> ljl, something like in my home dir??
[04:13] <joachim-n> given a particular file, is there a way to know which package has installed it?
[04:13] <Jowi> Mapo, enable/turn up the volume on your mic. mic boost might be an option on your card as well.
[04:13] <LjL> Och4: eh? i can't parse that command at all. that command you gave would create a directory called /home/fun stack/dvdrom0/. is your username "fun stack" (with a space, even)?
[04:13] <ixemptyxi> stittel: how do i send u?
[04:14] <snap64__> stittel i can live w/o the buttons i guess i'll have to wait for a true 64bit version of wine
[04:14] <LjL> joachim-n: dpkg -S filename
[04:14] <joachim-n> thanks LjL :)
[04:14] <djc> Need help on openbox WM autoloading fehbg
[04:14] <LjL> joachim-n: and if the package is not installed, use apt-file
[04:14] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Try DCC.
[04:14] <steven__> hi
[04:14] <orbin> mnvl: nautilus works if your in a rush.  if you wanna go more featured, try gnomebaker or k3b
[04:14] <stittel> snap64__: No. You should be able to use the 32bit version of Winetools with 32bit Wine.
[04:14] <Och4> ljl, yea, but im more focus on the mkdir command, thats the part im not understanding
[04:14] <orbin> *you're
[04:14] <steven__> i need help installing my printer, a Epson C42UX
[04:14] <lmr_> aventin: You're welcome
[04:14] <Pici> !burn | mnvl
[04:14] <ubotu> mnvl: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[04:14] <djc> Need help on openbox WM autoloading fehbg
[04:14] <LjL> Och4, you *really* shouldn't have a space in your username
[04:15] <steven__> the printer is not recognized by cups
[04:15] <Och4> ljl,......why?
[04:15] <stittel> snap64__: Try installing winetools on the 64bit maschine as you did on the 32bit maschien
[04:15] <Mapo> Thanks Jowi bur everything seems to work right . I'm new in Ubunto what is it a mic boot?
[04:15] <fsckr> orbin, blah still doesn't work i guess I will just shrugh my shoulders and bite the bullet with my 160 dollar wireless router
[04:15] <LjL> Och4: because i'm betting a large percentage of programs will freak out when seeing a space in a username. it's just something that's normally not done.
[04:15] <Jowi> Mapo, mic boost amplifies the volume of the microphone. some audio cards have it some don't.
[04:15] <ixemptyxi> stittel: can?
[04:16] <djc> Need help on openbox WM autoloading fehbg
[04:16] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Nothing arriving here. Mail it to contact at tittel.net .
[04:16] <Mapo> jowi. If i do no t have it what can i do with my microfone??
[04:16] <orbin> fsckr: hunt around the forums or ask again in here before you do.  good luck, i'm going to bed. :)
[04:16] <LjL> Och4: anyway, aside from that. mkdir just creates a directory. if you want to use that directory as a mountpoint, there's nothing special to do; it doesn't even have to have any particular name like "dvdrom0". you could do   mkdir /home/fun\ stack/anydirectoryname
[04:16] <Och4> ljl, no wonders. i can always change that, but did i do the mkdir right?  is that what you asked me to do?
[04:16] <snap64__> stittel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19620/
[04:16] <fsckr> ty
[04:16] <orbin> sure
[04:16] <djc> Need help on openbox WM autoloading fehbg
[04:16] <LjL> Och4: and then, to mount,   sudo mount -o loop /this/is/my/iso/file.iso /home/fun\ stack/anydirectoryname
[04:17] <stittel> snap64__: Please install: ia32-libs-gtk
[04:17] <Och4> ljl, oh really?  it just has to be some random dir?
[04:17] <snap64__> maybe i should completely remove the 64 bit and start over
[04:17] <LjL> Och4: (but then again, you don't need to spell out "/home/fun\ stack/" in either case, since you can just use "~/")
[04:17] <LjL> Och4: yes, the system couldn't care less about how it's named.
[04:17] <stittel> snap64__: I think that'd be a bit premature.
[04:17] <ixemptyxi> stittel: send it to??
[04:17] <redmonkey> hi. where can i set the console font?
[04:17] <Jowi> Mapo, in the volume preferences (gnome-volume-control), make sure that the mic is on and the volume high. enable the speaker button on the mic option as well. you should be able to hear yourself breath. if you don't, check if you have connected the mic correctly.
[04:17] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Yes, send it to me.
[04:17] <djc> Need help on openbox WM autoloading fehbg
[04:17] <LjL> Och4: all it wants is that it be a directory, and that you tell it what must be mounted on it
[04:18] <knugen> ive installed ndiswrapper for my wlan card without any errors but it still isnt working
[04:18] <knugen> any ideas?
[04:19] <Mapo> Jowi:i've read somewhere that may be i have to edit the skype file config.xlm . Is it possible?And is it right?
[04:19] <stittel> snap64__: ???
[04:19] <Och4> ljl, i didn't know you could use "~/dvdrom0/" is the same as "/home/fun\ stack/dvdrom0/"
[04:19] <paljas> Any knowledge about preseed installs of 7.04? Is it supported? Is there accurate documentation about it? I can't get past the "Guided partitioning" questions, and i'm not alone, according to a 'preseed' search on de ubuntu webfora.
[04:19] <snap64__> where am i supposed to find iam32.whatever
[04:19] <Jowi> Mapo, I have never needed to do that. I haven't used skype since ebay bought them up though.
[04:19] <LjL> Och4: well, you know now. as i said, "~" is short for (the home directory of the current logged-in user")
[04:19] <fsckr> would anyone like to take a stab on helping me with my wireless?  Orbin got me as far as seeing my router but for some reason I cannot connect
[04:19] <stittel> snap64__: "sudo aptitude install ia32-libs-gtk"
[04:19] <snap64__> looking in synaptic
[04:20] <steven__> any help?
[04:20] <MystaMax> hello, I've got a laptop in a docking station, but the screen resolution options do not show my external monitor resolution. How do I add this resolution?
[04:21] <Mapo> jowi:... the audio settings are right i'm nearly sure of it
[04:21] <Ranpha1>  Hi there I'm starting to use dm-crypt for my storage device because i going to use Via Padlock Cpu's. But is there a simple way to mount storage disk (500gig HDD) I currently using truecrypt but that won't work with padlock. So i was thinking is there a simple GUI or (my system is already dm-crypt) is there one key i can created and then everthing mounts automatic?
[04:21] <Och4> ljl, yea. thanks man.  im gonna try this thingy doo da out and let ya know the outcome.  thanks man
[04:21] <LjL> Och4, anyway keep in mind that (while this is all useful learning) gmountiso can probably do it all from a GUI with much less terminal fiddling
[04:21] <ppcUser> is it worth upgrading to festy
[04:21] <Kubuntu> yes
[04:21] <Kubuntu> it has.....
[04:21] <ppcUser> cool
[04:22] <snap64__> Still getting same error when i try to run wintools
[04:22] <mogydy> anybody knows a good gui to configure compiz themes for ubuntu?
[04:22] <ixemptyxi> stittel: sent to you
[04:22] <Jowi> Mapo, no idea. see if you can get some hints here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[04:22] <stittel> snap64__: After installing ia-32libs-gtk .. are you sure? Or is this maybe a GTK1 software?
[04:22] <steven__> anyone can help me configuring my printer (Epson Stylus C42UX)?
[04:23] <Mapo> jowi: ok thank you very much
[04:23] <Och4> ljl, i have used the terminal before, and want to better understand instead of using a gui.  wouldn't it be better for me to use the terminal on mount stuff?  i mean, i can do the same thing as the gui gmouniso can right
[04:23] <LjL> Och4: and more, for that matter. was just pointing to you that you don't *have* to use the terminal, but i have absolutely no objection to using it (i mostly use it even when i really could do without)
[04:23] <anguis> Hello. I have a problem with file permissions. Might someone assist me?
[04:24] <stittel> snap64__: As I understand it right, you use winetool to install additional fonts and stuff? Where do these fonts get installed?
[04:24] <stittel> snap64__: s/fonts/stuff/
[04:24] <snap64__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19622/
[04:24] <snap64__> stittel i have no idea
[04:24] <stittel> snap64__: You HAVE to close Syntaptic.
[04:25] <stittel> snap64__: ia32-libs-gtk is not installed yet. So please close Synaptic, run this command and after it got successfully installed, try calling the winetools installer again.
[04:25] <enannott> hi
[04:25] <snap64__> wine tools dosnt work on the 32 bit either
[04:25] <stittel> snap64__: Didn't you just say "winetools" are the reason why your Tradesoftware works on the 32bit maschine correctly?
[04:26] <Och4> ljl, i really like the terminal and i believe you can control more and be faster through the terminal on maintaning your computer that way.  im saying, i think the terminal is faster if you know how to use it then instead of using a gui system
[04:26] <ixemptyxi> stittel: did you receive?
[04:26] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Yes, wait a sec.
[04:26] <Kubuntu> I need a debugger, where do I find one?
[04:26] <steven__> Kubuntu: ddd
[04:26] <anguis> I would like get some help with file permissions. Anyone?
[04:26] <Kubuntu> is that a debugger=\?
[04:26] <snap64__> most likely yes  i think stittel...... although it wont run it installed some stuff or something
[04:27] <steven__> is a gui for gdb
[04:27] <LjL> Och4: that is arguable... but under Linux, yes, we can pretty much say that the terminal is usually more reliable than GUIs
[04:27] <Kubuntu> ??
[04:27] <synjet> anguis: plz elaborate your question, someone should pick it up
[04:27] <stittel> snap64__: So let's try to do that on the 64bit maschine too.
[04:27] <ryanpg> openoffice.org is constantly crashing in ubuntu feisty... running from the CLI doesn't reveal anything. How can I figure out what's causing the crashes?
[04:27] <stittel> snap64__: Did you get ia32-libs-gtk installed?
[04:27] <Och4> ljl, but not faster?
[04:27] <enannott> does anyone know why if I run 'gnome terminal --window-with=profile=profilename' I always got a terminal with the default profile like it doesn't care at all about the parameter?
[04:27] <steven__> Kubuntu: is an iterface for gdb which is a debugger
[04:27] <snap64__> yeah i think so
[04:27] <anguis> synjet: I will. Here goes...
[04:27] <LjL> Och4: by the way - if you don't know already, keep in mind that you can always press TAB in the terminal to complete a filename automatically. that way, you don't have to type all those \'s when filenames contain spaces, etc
[04:28] <stittel> snap64__: Run the winetools installer again then.
[04:28] <stittel> ixemptyxi: You will need to try another kernel.
[04:28] <synjet> ryanpg: system-->admin->system-log?
[04:28] <Och4> ljl, found that out not too long ago, it helps a lot haha
[04:28] <ixemptyxi> stittel: which kernel do u suggest?
[04:28] <snap64__> stittel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19624/
[04:28] <LjL> Och4: well, an Apple research seemed to show that users *perceive* that they're faster with a keyboard, but the actual timings say they're faster with a mouse. anyway, i'm not a UI expert, and this is not even exactly on topic. bottom line, use what you find yourself more comfortable with
[04:29] <stittel> ixemptyxi: I guess you are not comfortable with compiling your own kernel?
[04:29] <snap64__> oh ok run the installer again
[04:29] <snap64__> ok
[04:29] <stittel> ixemptyxi: I mean, have you ever done so?
[04:29] <ixemptyxi> no
[04:29] <ryanpg> synjet, I don't see anything related to use apps there at all, what am I looking for exactly?
[04:29] <emarkd> hello
[04:29] <ryanpg> s/use/user
[04:29] <samu2> What does it mean in the lists when I run make menuconfig if an option has --- in front of it?
[04:30] <emarkd> can anyone help me config the front panel buttons on a dell laptop in edgy?
[04:31] <ixemptyxi> stittel: i have not done anything in compiling be4
[04:31] <snap64__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19626/
[04:31] <Kubuntu> How do I open Atlantik in ddd?
[04:31] <Och4> ljl, i don't know linux hotkeys as much as ms, but if you gave me the standard gui in ms, i tell you what.  im faster than any mouse user when it comes to file management.  ill bet on that.
[04:31] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Which kernel exactly are you using right now?
[04:31] <ppcUser> does any one know a way to get vcl to work with the amsn music plugin? that would be cool i could not fin an easy way to do it.
[04:31] <ixemptyxi> 2.6.20-15-i386
[04:32] <anguis> When using chown or chmod I get an error "operation not permitted"
[04:32] <LjL> Och4: i won't argue, i was just quoting a research. i'm really pretty neutral, i think everybody should use what they like best.
[04:32] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Can you please look in Synaptic which packages beginning with "linux" are installed and post the result?
[04:32] <snap64__> stittel i have no idea how to uninstall something i installed ./install script
[04:32] <stittel> ixemptyxi: And what CPU have you got?
[04:33] <stittel> snap64__: It still doesn't work? Argh, those people are still using ancient GTK1.
[04:33] <snap64__> stittle it wont install till i uninstall it
[04:33] <stittel> snap64__: We need to install gtk1.2 by hand. Wait a sec.
[04:34] <Och4> ljl, i think we need more details on that research to rekindle this conversation.  i have a lot of what if to my side on file management.  do you have the webpage address on the research
[04:34] <snap64__> but i installed it using  ./install from the extracted folder
[04:34] <snap64__> which i think runs a script file they put in there
[04:34] <HOT> anguis: you might need root permision "su chmod"
[04:35] <mj84> does anyone know if you can use an itunes music folder on another partition with music player?
[04:35] <anguis> HOT: I tried it with sudo
[04:35] <fsckr> with a wireless card do I need to have wpa supplicant tools installed?
[04:35] <snap64__> is there any way for Xchat to not show join and leave messages
[04:35] <sudo> hy
[04:35] <stittel> snap64__: I am not using Xchat, by I am sure it is.
[04:35] <stittel> snap64__: Have you the package libgtk1.2 installed?
[04:35] <sudo> i can help you???
[04:36] <pirx> its in /etc/rc.local that i put stuff that i want to start when i start the computer, right?
[04:36] <anguis> HOT: su is doesn't do anything at all
[04:36] <Och4> ljl, do you know what i mean though?
[04:36] <stittel> pirx: If you want to get out cheap, yes. The proper way is to write an init script and add it to the appropriate runlevels.
[04:36] <bulmer> snap64__: right click on the tab and uncheck show/join messages
[04:36] <golanster> hello
[04:36] <mitch_> hey guys, i wonder if someone could help me solve a wireless problem. My wireless was working in Dapper but after upgrading through Edgy to Feisty, I can't seem to get it working...Can someone help?
[04:37] <majones> hi - ive just install ubuntu and need to install driver for my wireless usb device?
[04:37] <LjL> Och4: i think i do, i can't find the page right now though, i just remember reading it. "apple research mouse" is a bit too generic for google :-) anyway, again, i do almost all my file management from the terminal, so i'm not really the one to argue against it
[04:37] <golanster> i have a question... whats the different between ubentu kubentu xubentu ?
[04:38] <samu2> I'm trying to apply these patches to a linux kernel source http://www.gilfillan.org/v3tv/v3tv-v4l2/ Messing about with make menuconfig right now. It says "You must compile drivers as modules!". Where should I make sure of that. Is make menuconfig even the right place?
[04:38] <LjL> golanster: the desktop environments they come with.
[04:38] <CyberShoe> Morning.
[04:38] <ryanpg> why can't I find debugging symbols for OO.org?
[04:38] <LjL> !flavors > golanster    (golanster, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:38] <snap64__> stittle no synaptic tells me i only have 2.0 installed
[04:38] <mitch_> join #feisty
[04:38] <Gr3nad3> can someone help me with pation setup or guide me in the right direction
[04:38] <Toma-> !sudo
[04:38] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:39] <CyberShoe> I'm trying to get an external monitor set up on my laptop under feisty. I want it to use the external monitor if available, otherwise use the laptop screen. I had this working under Edgy, but I forgot how I did it :(
[04:39] <pirx> stittel: cheap sounds good:)
[04:39] <stittel> Can somebody take over snap64__ (getting 32bit GTK 1.2 to run on amd64) and ixemptyxi (kernel not booting with Nvidia card)? I need to leave soon!
[04:39] <snap64__> blumer dosnt do much on gnome xchat
[04:39] <CyberShoe> And of course, I didn't backup my xorg.conf :( :(
[04:40] <ixemptyxi> stittel: my system spec is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434865
[04:40] <emarkd> can anyone help me config the front panel buttons on a dell laptop in edgy?
[04:40] <ixemptyxi> stittel: i just lost my wireless connection
[04:40] <Och4> ljl, see i use a gui back in the days of windows, but i like to use hotkeys.  so, i don't need the mouse when im doing file management, but im not too fast with the terminal yet.  i really like it though, and have been putting time aside to understand it and learn it
[04:41] <snap64__> using synaptic to put on gimp toolkit 1.2
[04:41] <wykis> When I try to start X from console, I get "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.". What to do?
[04:41] <stittel> snap64: This will just install 64bit GTK1.2, you need 32bit GTK1.2. :-/
[04:41] <snap64__> oh jeese
[04:42] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Which linux-* packages are installed in your computer?
[04:42] <anguis> What if sudo chown tells me "operation not permitted"?
[04:42] <Och4> whats the folder called "mnt" do in the "/" dir?   is it a mnt folder?
[04:42] <snap64__> lol this getting worse than doing a kernal rebuild in sabayon
[04:42] <LjL> Och4: well, the terminal surely is different from just using hotkeys in a GUI environment. what makes the terminal more powerful is the fact that it's intermediate between a "text mode file manager" and a full fledged programming language. want to apply some operation to all files that have a certain property? you can.
[04:42] <Och4> is it a mount folder?
[04:42] <stittel> snap64__: The problem is, when we try to install the 32bit GTK 1.2 we also have to install all it's 32bit dependency packages.
[04:42] <bulmer> Och4: is a regular directory
[04:42] <stittel> snap64__: The easiest thing would be to find out what winetools installed on your 32bit maschine and just coping these files over.
[04:43] <Och4> bulmer, that does what though?  >.<
[04:43] <anguis> What if sudo chown tells me "operation not permitted"? Any idea how to solve this one?
[04:43] <bulmer> Och4 like any other regular directory, what does it do?
[04:43] <void^> !chroot | snap64__
[04:43] <ubotu> snap64__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[04:43] <fsckr> i am confused...i can see my wireless network but I cannot connect to it.  Very frustrating
[04:44] <Och4> bulmer, media, has ya physcial drivers, home is ya personal drives.  whats the mnt dir do?
[04:44] <stittel> void^: Thanks, but this is a bit overkill to just get the installer of a trivial helper application running. :-/
[04:44] <bulmer> Och4 like  one more time, what does any regular directory do?
[04:44] <ixemptyxi> stittel: linux-headers-2.6.20-15 linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-2.6.20-15-386 linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic linux-image-generic
[04:44] <Och4> ljl, whats the mnt dir in the / dir of a file system?
[04:45] <LjL> Och4: hm?
[04:45] <bulmer> Och4 it would not be any different
[04:45] <LjL> Och4: ah sorry, yes
[04:45] <Och4> bulmer, it holds shit. is it ment to hold mount files?
[04:45] <LjL> Och4: /mnt is the place for mounting remove filesystems, mostly
[04:45] <brum> I edited /etc/hosts and all of the hosts remain there until reboot, when all hosts dissappear, while leaving comments alone... anyone know why this would happen?
[04:45] <bulmer> Och4: stop that attitude, no cursing okay?
[04:45] <LjL> Och4: no, it's meant to have mountpoints in it (i.e. directories). it's similar to /media, but /media is for local devices
[04:45] <CyberShoe> Is there a sort of question-asking etiquette in here that I'm missing, or is it just that noone wants to help me muck around with my xorg.conf? :)
[04:45] <LjL> at least i think that's the specifications
[04:45] <Och4> ljl, but then it's not for what we need it for
[04:45] <CyberShoe> Or possibly my excessive use of smilies...
[04:46] <Och4> ljl, like mounting diablo?
[04:46] <snap64__> void looks like they dont have one for fiesty yet
[04:46] <matej> which ubuntu relase is now stable?
[04:46] <mj84> does anyone know if I can access my music folder on OSX from music player in ubuntu?
[04:46] <Och4> bulmer, no attitude, no swearing :)
[04:46] <LjL> Och4: why would we? it's not remote, and it's not a local drive. it's just an ISO file owned by the current user. so, my logic tells me to mount it in the current user's home directory
[04:46] <bentob0x> is it me or the FTP clients on Linux aren't good?
[04:46] <bentob0x> I'm looking for something serious, with auto-reconnect etc
[04:47] <bentob0x> good interface, fast and stable
[04:47] <Och4> ljl, mine tells me to listen to ya.  thanks again
[04:47] <kylefox> I have a simple question:we're looking to set up a Ubuntu server at work, just for FTP and possibly a test webserver.  The box will not be used for spreadsheets, word processing, etc.  However, none of us are familiar enough with linux to work strictly from a command line, so we need gnome.  Should we get desktop, or server edition?
[04:47] <Och4> bulmer, your not going to respond back?
[04:47] <snap64__> \oh they have one but i have no idea what the heck bootstrap is
[04:47] <mon^rch> bentob0x: didn't leke gftp, eh?
[04:47] <void^> snap64__: should be the same for feisty.
[04:47] <LjL> !ftp > bentob0x    (bentob0x, see the private message from Ubotu) feel free to add more clients if you find interesting ones
[04:48] <snap64__> void to advanced for me
[04:48] <snap64__> void i have no idea what this is
[04:48] <TasteeWheat> bentob0x: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=308687
[04:48] <Jowi> kylefox, depends on the specs of the machine. if it's a p133 with 64mb ram then the server is the way to go.
[04:48] <beni> !info lamp | kylefox
[04:48] <ubotu> kylefox: Package lamp does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:49] <TasteeWheat> !ftp > TasteeWheat
[04:49] <LjL> Och4, keep in mind that these are just *conventions*. the system doesn't care if you mount something in /media, or /mnt, or your home, or anywhere else (well, as long as you've got the right permissions as well). they're just useful conventions.
[04:49] <Och4> bulmer has the attitude.
[04:49] <LjL> stop provoking now
[04:49] <matej> which ubuntu relase is now "stable"?
[04:49] <beni> kylefox: google for lamp
[04:49] <LjL> matej: Feisty, Edgy and Dapper are all currently supported.
[04:49] <stittel> ixemptyxi: Try the 2.6.22-686 kernel from gutsy, just for fun.
[04:49] <beni> kylefox: there are very good tutorials out there
[04:49] <stittel> Does anybody know which kernel the alternate installer CD is using?
[04:49] <kylefox> beni: why google lamp?
[04:49] <Jowi> beni, he does not need lamp for ftp
[04:49] <kylefox> just to learn how to do stuff from the command line?
[04:50] <Och4> ljl, i get ya. but for permissions wise, it better in the /home dir
[04:50] <matej> LjL, yes, iam on Edgy, thats why i'am asking if Feisty is stable now .. where to look that ?
[04:50] <beni> kylefox: for webserver
[04:50] <LjL> Och4: yes (although the "mount" command has to be executed as root anyway)
[04:50] <mc44> matej: yes feisty is stabel
[04:50] <LjL> matej, if it's supported, it's stable.
[04:50] <brum> anyone know why a reboot clears any entries I make to /etc/hosts while leaving comments alone?
[04:50] <kylefox> i know what lamp is, but that doesn't help me choose between desktop and server :P
[04:50] <LjL> matej: "stable" doesn't mean it won't crash on you. it just means it's out of the testing cycle, and released.
[04:50] <snap64__> i give up im going to start over with a fresh install   ive move and installed and copied and ...theres no telling what kinda mess i have made
[04:51] <Och4> ljl, cool. i got it
[04:51] <stittel> snap64__: Eh?
[04:51] <matej> mc44, and where is this written down? I cant find on offical page :|
[04:51] <bulmer> brum are you sure its /etc/hosts not your /etc/resolv.conf file/
[04:51] <bulmer> ?
[04:51] <nuu> kylefox: i'd go server
[04:51] <Jowi> kylefox, seriously though. if you have a reasonably decent machine (minimum 192MB ram, 6gb hdd) go with the desktop cd or alternate cd.
[04:51] <mc44> matej: what do you mean?
[04:51] <stittel> snap64__: You can deinstall all packages easily with Synaptic. Or even better: use a tool like gtkorphan or debfoster.
[04:51] <brum> bulmer: yes, absolutely
[04:51] <brum> happened twice now
[04:51] <kylefox> So just to verify, server edition does NOT come with gnome (strictly command line UI?)
[04:51] <stittel> snap64__: The only thing we have copied is ~/.wine to your homedir. I don't see where we created other mess.
[04:51] <LjL> matej: err... if you go to http://www.ubuntu.com, the download section gives you Feisty and Dapper. if they're right there on the most important page of the site... one would think they're released, wouldn't one?
[04:52] <nuu> kylefox: no, no gnome
[04:52] <snap64__> stittle  except the ones i installed ./install like wintools
[04:52] <nuu> kylefox: but it's trivial to install it
[04:52] <empty> stittel: what kernel shld i get?
[04:52] <bulmer> brum thats odd indeed..i only knew of /etc/resolv.conf changing
[04:52] <LjL> matej: Ubuntu doesn't normally place huge links to unstable distributions on its homepage.
[04:52] <nuu> kylefox: matter of a one-liner on the command line
[04:52] <nuu> kylefox: check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186298
[04:52] <brum> bulmer: i haven't ever had this/seen this b4 either
[04:52] <stittel> snap64__: The installation aborted, right? And you didn't call it with root permissions anyway!
[04:52] <Jowi> kylefox, the server cd does not install gnome (or xorg for that matter) by default. so if you want a quick way to just test use the desktop one.
[04:52] <Och4> ljl, how do i delete a dir in terminal?
[04:52] <snap64__> if i could unintsall wintools so i could reinstall it with the gtx added it might be fine
[04:52] <mon^rch> bentob0x: gftp-gtk
[04:53] <matej> LjL, aha..no dates of next relase?
[04:53] <LjL> Och4: "rmdir directoryname"
[04:53] <bulmer> brum check what scripts or apps you have thats using your /etc/hosts
[04:53] <snap64__> stittle no winetools installed
[04:53] <LjL> !gutsy | matej
[04:53] <ubotu> matej: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule Support in #ubuntu+1
[04:53] <stittel> snap64__: Do everything is fine. I really don't see where we made mess.
[04:53] <kylefox> nuu: sweet, thanks, i think i'll try that.  the ONLY thing we need from the desktop version is gnome :)
[04:53] <snap64__> just not properly because the gtk was not already there
[04:53] <stittel> snap64__: s/Do/So/
[04:53] <snap64__> ?
[04:53] <matej> LjL, TNX
[04:53] <stittel> snap64__: You need a 32bit GTK 1.2 to run the installer. Getting that is not trivial.
[04:54] <brum> bulmer: it wouldnt be tied to the different network configurations i have in the network gui tool would it?
[04:54] <nuu> kylefox: np
[04:54] <stittel> snap64__: This is why I proposed to copy the files, that winetools installs (Windows fonts etc) by hand.
[04:54] <Och4> ljl, thansk
[04:54] <kylefox> nuu: which one of those replies shows the correct way to install
[04:54] <snap64__> what do i need to remove winetools?
[04:54] <stittel> snap64__: You said you haven't installed winetools.
[04:54] <snap64__> yes i have
[04:54] <matej> LjL, and when its not "stable" version, it isnt in section "upgrade now"?
[04:54] <bulmer> brum i dont know, see whats in /etc/nsswitch
[04:54] <void^> if wine is a priority i suggest switching to i386 altogether.
[04:54] <stittel> snap64__: If you are going to reinstall, think about installing Ubuntu for i386 not amd64.
[04:54] <snap64__> but it wont run properly
[04:55] <stittel> snap64__: For a normal desktop PC amd64 has no real advantages, but is much more hard to get going than i386.
[04:55] <empty> stittel: what kernel shld i get?
[04:55] <LjL> matej: certainly not. unstable versions are only supposed to be used by testers, i.e. people who realize they will probably break their systems and are prepared to meet that (almost certain) possibility.
[04:55] <snap64__> ive tried the i386 the 64bit much faster
[04:55] <pba> I am new to Linux. Cant find any usable help... what is the command to install "KeePassX-0.2.2.deb" residing in /home...   something like "apt-get install keepass-0.2.2.deb" It gives an error message
[04:55] <pba> like
[04:55] <pba> root@kub:/home# apt-get install KeePassX-0.2.2.deb

[04:55] <pba> Reading state information... Done
[04:55] <pba> E: Couldn't find package KeePassX-0.2.2.deb
[04:55] <bulmer> brum never mind, it does not use /etc/nsswitch
[04:55] <pba> root@kub:/home#
[04:55] <stittel> snap64__: Did you call the installer with "sudo"?
[04:56] <matej> LjL, thnx for explanations !
[04:56] <joachim-n> how do I erase a CD-RW?
[04:56] <snap64__> yes  i switched to the extraced tar folder .....then did $ sudo ./install
[04:56] <stittel> snap64__: Wait a sec.
[04:56] <brum> bulmer: its not the saved netowrk locations, i just changed back and forth from the two diff ones i use
[04:56] <brum> just started in feisty
[04:57] <snap64__> that installed most of wine except for files that needed the gimp toolkit
[04:57] <brum> but i just started using the diff network locations in this rel too
[04:57] <snap64__> err most of winetools***
[04:57] <LjL> !pastebin > pba    (pba, see the private message from Ubotu)
[04:57] <stittel> snap64__: It's installed to /usr/local/
[04:57] <bulmer> brum there's a config file that tells the system which to use..file, dns, ldap etc..but i dont know which config file that is in debian
[04:58] <snap64__> so just delete usr local?
[04:58] <brum> nsswitch ;)
[04:58] <stittel> snap64__: Delete /usr/local/winetools and delete wt, winetools and findwine from /usr/local/bin.
[04:58] <brum> not sure in debian either
[04:58] <bulmer> brumm oh its /etc/nsswitch.conf
[04:58] <stittel> snap64__: No, don't delete /usr/local/, delete what I wrote above.
[04:58] <snap64__> how you find all this info so fast?
[04:59] <DimmuR> what's the defalt password for root after ubuntu instalation? I didn't notice that it asked for root password (i can't even change it via sudo)
[04:59] <stittel> snap64__: In this case I should looked into the install script of winetools to see what it does.
[04:59] <snap64__> ok back to file manager
[04:59] <stittel> snap64__: s/should/just/
[04:59] <stittel> snap64__: Delete diese files from console.
[04:59] <snap64__>  s/should/just/ ????
[04:59] <stittel> snap64__: "sudo rm -R /usr/local/winetools"
[04:59] <stittel> snap64__: I mistyped. I meant "just" not "should".
[05:00] <stittel> snap64__: "cd /usr/local/bin; sudo rm wt winetools findwine"
[05:00] <LjL> !root > DimmuR    (DimmuR, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:00] <LjL> DimmuR: there is none. use sudo.
[05:01] <DimmuR> LjL, thanks for answer i'm going read
[05:01] <snap64__> crap it wont let me delete them in file manager jesus christ i hate that
[05:01] <Och4> ljl, you still there man?
[05:01] <LjL> !language
[05:01] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:01] <stittel> snap64__: Just use the commands above.
[05:01] <snap64__> getting very tired of typing in cryptic commands in the terminal
[05:01] <stittel> snap64__: And be happy that you can't delete it from the filemanager running with superuser rights. Because this would mean that permissions management is totally broken on your system.
[05:01] <Journeyman> I install ejabberd with apt, the problem is when I use /etc/init.d it says it is started, and I even see the pid, but it doesn't work
[05:02] <Journeyman> won't bind the points
[05:02] <Journeyman> ports*
[05:02] <stittel> snap64__: not "with" but "without"
[05:02] <Journeyman> I can just manually run it and it works fine
[05:02] <LjL> Journeyman: you do the init.d thing as root, right?
[05:02] <Journeyman> yes
[05:03] <Jowi> snap64__, relax. it's a different system to what you're used to that's all. you should take a moment to learn some of the more useful commands. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[05:03] <bulmer> Journeyman: are you sure the correct arguments are passed to your script?
[05:03] <Kubuntu> I need to get acces to a windows computer on my network, how?
[05:03] <Journeyman> bulmer, as far as I know it just needs start
[05:03] <LjL> !samba > kubuntu    (kubuntu, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:04] <Journeyman> and from the webpages I have read that is all that is needed
[05:04] <LjL> Journeyman: like with all init.d scripts. but perhaps there's something to configure.
[05:04] <empty> stittel: what kernel shld i get?
[05:04] <bulmer> Journeyman: when you run it not from init.d  what arguments you pass to it?
[05:04] <stittel> empty: Try the 2.6.22 image from gutsy.
[05:04] <snap64__> not with but without what? a brain? it oozed to jello when i was trying to use portage through the terminal on gentoo
[05:04] <Journeyman> bulmer non
[05:04] <nomasteryoda|w> lol
[05:04] <Kubuntu> LjL Thanks
[05:05] <Journeyman> bulmer I just type /etc/init.d/ejabberd start
[05:05] <Journeyman> or restart
[05:05] <empty> stittle: gutsy where do i get that?
[05:05] <LjL> !gutsy > empty    (empty, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:05] <stittel> snap64__: I have to go now, really. If you should ever think about reinstalling, use i386 not amd64.
[05:05] <bulmer> Journeyman: when running it as regular user..what is the command you type?
[05:05] <Kubuntu> LjL this time I'll read the questions carefully!
[05:05] <stittel> snap64__: Have fun!
[05:05] <snap64__> i would rather delete things in a visual way so i can see what i am deleting
[05:05] <anguis> Why sudo desn't have the permission to use chown?
[05:05] <Journeyman> bulmer I don't run it as a normal user
[05:06] <stittel> empty: From a mirror like http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/
[05:06] <stittel> empty: I am sorry, I really have to leave now.
[05:06] <LjL> anguis: what's the command you're trying specifically?
[05:06] <Journeyman> while in a root terminal I type ejabberd
[05:06] <stittel> empty: Surely somebody help can continue to help you figuring this out.
[05:06] <Journeyman> and it runs up just fine
[05:06] <LjL> anguis: (and the error you're getting)
[05:06] <bulmer> Journeyman: well what ever user you used when you said it runs as regular..?
[05:06] <stittel> empty: Tell him, it's not realted to nvidia drivers (you deinstalled those) and that the alternative cd works.
[05:06] <LjL> Journeyman, how would i check that it's running fine easily?
[05:06] <stittel> empty: And that you basically just need to find a working kernel.
[05:07] <stittel> empty: It must be out there, otherwise the alternative cd wouldn't boot.
[05:07] <Journeyman> LjL, YOU couldn't because it only runs inside a VPN

[05:08] <Journeyman> LjL, what are you talking about

[05:10] <LjL> Journeyman: i have one, yes. what port should the service be on anyway? if you just portscan your machine (after starting it with the init.d script), that port is still closed?
[05:10] <bulmer> Journeyman: do you use like nmap to check what port it listens/binds to?
[05:10] <SpaceBass> Och4, how are you getting that?

[05:15] <grimboy> CapsAdmin, What format are they?
[05:15] <samu2> I noticed the option I was looking for for the kernel showed up if I removed all .config files in the dir and then ran make menuconfig without running make defconfig. But will I get like overly LOADS of extra stuff if I do it this way?
[05:15] <bentob0x> seriously, I'm after installing KFTPGrabber and why, WHY does developers not put a 'Overwrite all' button?

[05:19] <tido|mobile> please help: I just asked Ubuntu 6.10 to upgrade to 7.04 on my PowerBook G4 and now when it logs in, it just shows a blank screen after login. It acts like it's starting up, but only shows the desktop background and nothing else. No menus or icons. Any idea what to do?
[05:19] <LjL> Journeyman, it doesn't look like it's binding here, either (both netstat and nmap show no trace of it)
[05:19] <tido|mobile> I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that didn't make a difference
[05:19] <UltimaDude> I have a error :(
[05:19] <UltimaDude> oops
[05:19] <LjL> Journeyman: ah no wait, typed the portrange wrong. nmap has 5222 and 5223 open
[05:19] <tido|mobile> I tried installing xubuntu-desktop, but it does the exact same thing after it's login
[05:19] <Journeyman> LjL, yeah I think the script maybe proken
[05:19] <empty> but i kept on getting a kernel panic when using nvidia card..
[05:20] <Journeyman> LjL, kill the process and see if you can start it
[05:20] <LjL> Journeyman: by "kill" you mean gracefully stop it using the init.d script, and then restart it using the init.d script, or just kill it?
[05:20] <Journeyman> LjL, I mean type kill <pid>
[05:21] <Baktaah> Is there a cool (transparent) way to jhave system info on the desktop?
[05:21] <Journeyman> then /etc/init.d/ejabberd start
[05:21] <Journeyman> and see if it still works for you
[05:21] <iqon> is there a way to execute a command when a specific usb drive is connected?

[05:23] <meal3837> is there a way to stretch an existing partition to cover 1.8 hardrives?
[05:23] <CapsAdmin> Are there any irc help chats that aren't as populated as this one?
[05:23] <eclipse_> anyone know the Alsa help channel ?
[05:23] <Journeyman> LjL, well stoping it with the init script won't work for me
[05:23] <Journeyman> so give it a shot
[05:23] <CapsAdmin> oh well

[05:41] <neonimr> tzfardea: you talking about safety

[05:43] <fsck> hi #ubuntu
[05:44] <spiderfire> is nvu supposed to be in the repo?

[05:45] <LjL> rob65, got no idea. if you google for "open acpi" failed, you do find something, but i'd be at a loss if i were asked whether that had any relevance. are you using the acpi=off kernel option?

[05:46] <kev_b> is there an easy way to format a usb drive on ubuntu without using the terminal (i.e. graphically)?
[05:47] <fsck> have u moved your home directory???
[05:47] <dunstabulos> kev_b: i imagine that gparted would let you do so
[05:47] <fsck> means open nautilus and figure out /home exists
[05:47] <kev_b> dunstabulos: thanks, i'll try that now

[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:49] <rausb0> rob65: it turns off ACPI support. many BIOSes have buggy ACPI tables.
[05:50] <chump> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
[05:50] <LjL> rob65: you used noacpi or acpi=off? they... well, disable ACPI :-) sorry, i don't really know the details, i just know they're quite standard things to try when Ubuntu fails to work. i think noacpi is the "less invasive" one (i.e. you lose some functionality, though again i'm not entirely sure which). i have to use "noapic" myself, which is even milder (and just disables a new sort of interrupt controller), but i have no idea if that would be enough in your
[05:50] <LjL> case
[05:50] <dunstabulos> rob65: noacpi disables ACPI, most commonly used on laptops that the manufacturers used microsofts incompatible ACPI compiler.  the linuz acpi project has replacements for many laptops
[05:50] <Geoffrey2> several times while running configure on programs I'm building from source, I've gotten the following message which I'm assuming is not a big issue?   checking dynamic linker characteristics... cat: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
[05:51] <Narada> hi just trying to decide on debian 4 vs ubuntu 7.04 for my server; just curious what debian version was ubuntu 7.04 based on
[05:51] <dunstabulos> (acpi controls power management)
[05:51] <dunstabulos> Narada: for a server you are probably better with 6.06 for long term support.
[05:51] <cdavis> In general terms, is ATI or Nvidia a better choice for video cards for Linux users?
[05:51] <dunstabulos> cdavis: Nvidia
[05:52] <Narada> dunstabulos: What does long term support mean exactly?  Support of what?
[05:52] <dunstabulos> Narada: security problems for one
[05:52] <Narada> dunstabulos: Security updates?
[05:52] <chump> Narada: i think that the lts will be updated a lot longer then the other

[05:52] <procrastinator_> Hrmm, so this might be a little out of the reach of most people in here, but I have a Motorola DCT6200 cable box I used to watch tv on in VLC in Windows using a custom driver.
[05:53] <procrastinator_> Is there anyway I can do the same in Ubuntu without setting up MythTV.
[05:53] <Narada> dunstabulos: chump So out of curiosity why does 7.04 have no long term support?
[05:53] <tzfardea> hey ! :D i just installed ubuntu 7.04 and i have a problem with my monitor screen it's shifted to the left, i installed already nvidia drivers
[05:53] <Ix0s> tzfardea, You tried auto adjusting it?

[05:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about formail - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:54] <elenril> are there netinstall images, like in debian?

[05:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about formmail - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:54] <procrastinator_> If anyone has any resources to point me towards, please let me know, I would like this to be something simple like it was in VLC where I just chose the box and then recorded the raw stream to my drive.
[05:54] <rausb0> elenril: yes there are
[05:54] <M_Bison123> i'm having a strange issue with package installations....i'm hoping someone can help me...
[05:54] <Narada> Is there a link to say what has how much support?
[05:54] <tzfardea> Ix0s, hey, how do i auto adjust it?
[05:54] <M_Bison123> for some reason when i install and remove packages for the first couple days or so after my installation it warns me that if i remove that particular one, i will have to remove like 25 more...but then it will just stop asking....so it won't remove the dependent packages....therefore when i remove something now it will only remove 1 at a time, and my next install it will usually tell me i have unnecessary packages installed...
[05:54] <Baktaah> Could someone please assist me with Screenlets how do you stick ur widgets/desklets so they don't get minimized when you press show desktop.
[05:54] <procrastinator_> Anything would be greatly appreciated.
[05:54] <dunstabulos> Narada: Canonical plan a long term support every 3 years iirc. 6.06 will be replaced by 9.04 or thereabouts. As to why, testing and backporting security fixes takes time money and effort.
[05:54] <Ix0s> tzfardea, It will be under your monitor menus, if you have CRT you'll have to just adjust your image positioning, read your monitor manual
[05:55] <M_Bison123> not every package of course...but ones that are part of a larger package like ubuntu-desktop
[05:55] <dunstabulos> 6.06 server is supported into 2011
[05:55] <tzfardea> Ix0s, oh, i dont want to do this in that way because i have also windows and the monitor screen appears fine in windows
[05:55] <elenril> rausb0, where do i get them?
[05:56] <M_Bison123> so now for some reason if i want to remove something part of ubuntu-desktop it won't tell me its part of the package...it will just remove that 1 and then nothing else will work
[05:56] <rausb0> elenril: hold on, i am searching them
[05:56] <Narada> dunstabulos: I see.  So e.g. 7.04 won't receive security upgrades or will only receive them for a limited time?
[05:56] <aventin> i just installed feisty (and beryl) for the first time, and i can't play movies - any movie file since i installed beryl. i installed the codecs suggested at first use, but totem and VLC crash on starup without an error message, and mplayer gives me "Error opening/initalizing the selected video_out (-vo) device". if i turn beryl off i works. i have a 915 video card, and is a very new ubuntu user (like 25 minutes into

[05:57] <Kaso> Im having trouble with Terminal, whenever try to open it i get the "Starting Terminal" window for a few moments then it disapears to nothing.
[05:57] <dunstabulos> which is fine if you only have one server and are happy to upgrade often,  but in general 6.06 is the better choice

[05:59] <movieman> `alex look for automatix :P

[05:59] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[06:01] <movieman> how can i fix this ?
[06:01] <arif> need help please
[06:01] <Narada> dunstabulos: Great thanks.  This concept of the latest release not being supported in the same sense strikes me as a little odd.  But at least I am informed now.
[06:02] <arif> do i get in line
[06:02] <dyrne> wedontneed: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:02] <Solarion> is there a feisty vmware player image?

[06:03] <aro> Did you run dpkg --configure -a ?
[06:03] <SnapLinux> how much slower is the 32 bit ver vs 64 on same machine?
[06:03] <arif> i type what it asks in the terminal
[06:03] <Narada> void^: What version is sid?
[06:03] <void^> Narada: sid is always unstable.

[06:04] <dunstabulos> i don't know, if this is for a server jsut use the online package listings to give you a comparison of versions each important program
[06:04] <MartyMcFly> SnapLinux: unnoticable - in some cases 64-bit is slower

I've done this a million times, anything extra i need to do for ubuntu>
[06:05] <dunstabulos> Narada: even if ubuntu is based on a debian release lots is different. debian 4.0 is on  a 2.4 kernel but ubuntu has been on 2.6 by default for a while now
[06:05] <scriptdevil> heya people
[06:05] <aro> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:05] <ak4t5uk1> what's the best .kar and .midi player for ubuntu?

[06:05] <scriptdevil> .midi is kmid
[06:05] <void^> dunstabulos: ... etch is not on a 2.4 kernel unless the admin wants it to be.
[06:06] <ak4t5uk1> pykaraoke and kmid is crappy

[06:07] <aldj> how can i temporarily disabe gcc 4.1 and enable gcc 3.4.5 ?
[06:08] <MartyMcFly> SnapLinux: It won't be noticably slower; but you may have a few issues with various apps expecting a 64-bit kernel because your processor is 64-bit.
[06:08] <M_Bison123> the packages stop automatically depending on each other for some reason...how do you make sure it continues to keep track of it?

[06:10] <scriptdevil> cyne: it shouldnt...
[06:10] <d2812> Can anyone help connecting to a PPTP VPN?  Ubuntu seems to be sending my username that I log in with, rather than the one it prompts for to the VPN server.
[06:10] <M_Bison123> about my package issue:::::an example of how this is inconvenient:  lets say i want to install kubuntu-desktop from  ubuntu...normally people would just have to type apt-get install or aptitude install kubuntu-desktop and it will isntall everything kbuntu needs....when i install kubuntu-desktop it only intsalls the package kubuntu-desktop.
[06:10] <aro> Though I cannot know for sure, because I don't have the warranty details
[06:11] <cyne> aro: i am no less confused :)
[06:11] <cyne> aro -- that's fine -- all i want is hardware warranty, considering i payed for an extra 2 years
[06:11] <M_Bison123> can anyone offer some help on the issue? i would greatly appreciate itl.
[06:11] <shavenger> install went fine and I was able to boot once, and only once before I get this kernel panic
[06:11] <scriptdevil> cyne: actually there are a lot of hp drivers
[06:11] <void^> Narada: if you want "current" software, you should either run debian sid or ubuntu. with sid you get new updates all the time with a higher chance of broken things. with ubuntu you get a new release every 6 months or so, and you can run beta-ubuntu (with the same risk of breakage).
[06:12] <scriptdevil> cyne: if hp calls them illegal, they will lose some share in the market
[06:12] <cyne> aro: one thing that bothers me is -- how will they test my hardware if i have ubuntu installed
[06:12] <M_Bison123> anyone?
[06:12] <aro> arif, did you sudo apt-get remove virtualbox ?
[06:12] <scriptdevil> cyne: there is hplip
[06:12] <aro> arif, try removing and installing virtualbox as it says
[06:12] <cyne> scriptdevil .. what is hplip ?
[06:12] <aro> cyne, do you mean if you bring in the computer to HP for maintenance?
[06:12] <arif> yeah
[06:12] <scriptdevil> cyne: hp linux printer support
[06:12] <cyne> aro: yes
[06:13] <cyne> scriptdevil: nice
[06:13] <arif> aro : yes
[06:13] <leagris> cyne, depend on wording and your contry specific laws. Either they sell you a Windowsbox or a general purpose computer.
[06:13] <aro> cyne, I sincerely doubt they will support you at all with ubuntu on it
[06:13] <void^> Narada: i personally like debian testing on my server. it's semi-uptodate and doesn't create much trouble.
[06:13] <scriptdevil> cyne: are you talking about a printer?
[06:13] <cyne> scriptdevil: no, a computer
[06:13] <scriptdevil> http://hplip.sourceforge.net/
[06:13] <Narada> void^: I'm quite happy to run U7.04 but I want to be sure that it won't be compromise security in any big way compared to D4.
[06:13] <Kaso> I'm really lost here :< I cant do anything because i cant get the terminal window open. Anyone any advice?
[06:13] <aro> arif, what happens after you reinstalled it?
[06:13] <samu2> Any ideas how long it should take to compile a kernel on a p3-600?
[06:13] <zancik> Hi people! How to delete all messages in Post Evolution on ubuntu I have them delete and they now in BIN but how delete them at all?
[06:13] <aro> arif, anything different?
[06:13] <scriptdevil> cyne: then i am not sure.. but hplip is hp developed
[06:13] <cyne> leagris: i'm in australia :)
[06:13] <arif> aro: nope
[06:14] <arif> in the terminal it come up with the same error
[06:14] <M_Bison123> so umm...did anyone see my message about the problem i'm having with my packages? if so...i would greatly appreciate any help...i would just reinstall ubuntu..but i've already done that twice and this same issue keeps recurring.
[06:14] <aro> arif, did you try removing virtualbox altogether and seeing what happens?
[06:14] <arif> that it has to reinstall
[06:14] <ncd> wouldnt hurt for ubuntu to come for Development ready
[06:14] <salgemma> does anyone know how to enable sound in Impress???
[06:14] <cyne> leagris, there is a "recovery partition" on the hard disk too -- i assume that it has vista on it
[06:14] <arif> sudo apt-get remove virtualbox
[06:14] <scriptdevil> cyne: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/other_support.html
[06:14] <arif> i ran that command to remove it
[06:14] <ncd> net result == falling on apt every 20seconds for every little thing
[06:14] <aventin> please help me somebody: i cant play video when beryl is active!? any ideas?
[06:14] <cyne> scriptdevil: thanks but i don't have a hp printer :)
[06:15] <scriptdevil> cyne:  this is general
[06:15] <M_Bison123> aventin...remove beryl
[06:15] <aro> arif, and then what happened?
[06:15] <M_Bison123> its not worth the trouble, in my opinion
[06:15] <scriptdevil> brb
[06:15] <ncd> if you didnt have net you would be farked
[06:15] <arif> Reading package lists... Done
[06:15] <arif> Building dependency tree
[06:15] <arif> Reading state information... Done
[06:15] <arif> that
[06:15] <arif> then i get the same error
[06:15] <aventin> M_Bison123: hehe, is that really the only solution?
[06:15] <cyne> damn -- any aussies here who installed ubuntu on their HP ?
[06:15] <arif>  The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[06:16] <M_Bison123> no, i know theres a ton on the forums about it though...
[06:16] <void^> Narada: well, if that server is truly significant i'd go for debian 4. there's no point playing with bleeding edge software on production machines.
[06:16] <M_Bison123> i always see threads about it..
[06:16] <leagris> cyne, AU govt has shown wierd behaviour toward followinig DMCA and other US only laws. Can't tell for your specific case. In dubt, call your vendor support and ask it clearly : Is, installing another operating system on box brand xxxyz ok for the warranty terms?
[06:16] <salgemma> does anybody know how to enable sound in Impress???
[06:16] <M_Bison123> i didn't have that problem with my install though...oddly enough
[06:16] <M_Bison123> but i didn't particularly like beryl
[06:16] <salgemma> i've installed and configured JMF...
[06:16] <cyne> leagris: thanks
[06:17] <aventin> M_Bison123: ok, i'll look around some more then. didn't find much first time.
[06:17] <salgemma> JMF works...
[06:17] <salgemma> i've configured Impress... the mediaplayer appears
[06:17] <aro> arif, I really don't know man
[06:17] <salgemma> but it is not able to play sounds
[06:18] <arif> ok cheers anyway
[06:18] <scriptdevil> cyne: why dont you dualboot ur box?
[06:18] <arif> is there any restore function
[06:18] <aro> arif, someone else might though if you ask at another time
[06:18] <aro> arif, I just don't know enough about packages to answer that

[06:29] <jhong> Hello, how do I set the session language when accessing through FreeNX?
[06:30] <sethk> tondar, at the command line, the command "route" (no arguments) will show you the route to the net
[06:30] <TooR4u> ncd, is it a programming language ..?
[06:30] <XZC> Is it nessesary to install any programsuch as Firewall or Anti-Virus on Ubuntu? ^^

[06:31] <XZC> aro ifhedon't know that, he will probably not be able to write avirus so xD
[06:31] <tondar> sethk: I have a ppp0, how do I know if it's on eth0 or 1
[06:31] <tondar> ?
[06:31] <aro> TooR4u, there are many many languages that can be used to write software, including viruses

[06:31] <Condorcet> Bogaurd: use the installation disk

[06:31] <Bogaurd> I'ved booted with a live cd, mounted my linux partition, and then chrooted it, but once ive chrooted to it, to run grub-install, i can no longer see /dev/hda...
[06:32] <Condorcet> smanhooei: ask it
[06:32] <ncd> surely
[06:32] <aro> Lopi_, your mail will not be deleted
[06:32] <smanhooei> i have a file containting column of digits
[06:32] <jhong> Is anyone using XDMCP to log into Feisty successfully?
[06:32] <ncd> intel used gwbasic to create the dri/drm
[06:32] <Lopi_> aro: thunderbird 2.0 is better then 1.5? i should install TB 2.0?
[06:32] <smanhooei> i want to use "cut" and "paste" command to take out different column and then paste them into anothe file
[06:32] <Condorcet> boguard u shouldnt have /dev/hda mounted
[06:32] <aro> Lopi_, I don't know the differences
[06:33] <smanhooei> but when i paste them ,i get space between different columns
[06:33] <smanhooei> can u tell me how to delete the spaces ?
[06:33] <jhong> Is anyone using XDMCP to log into Feisty successfully?
[06:34] <dyrne> smanhooei: you could do like cat file | awk "{print $ 2}" > file.txt    <-- where 2 is whatever column number counting from left to right
[06:34] <Smilez> jhong: not sure what XDMCP does :/
[06:34] <rafal_> halo

[06:36] <cello_rasp> visudo: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
[06:36] <Geoffrey2> quick question, I hope, pidgin is configuring saying it's being built without Mono support....what is it looking for?

[06:36] <cn28h_> If I'm upgrading to feisty from edgy using aptitude and it's going to take like 11+ hrs, will there be a problem interrupting the download and starting it again later?
[06:37] <jhong> Smilez: type "azureus" in a terminal and see what errors you get when it quits. Probably Java related. BTW the plain "bittorrent"client is super fast.
[06:37] <smanhooei> hey anyone knows how to remove a column of "space" from a text file by command ?
[06:37] <tdn> I am having trouble booting into encrypted root fs. I have described the problem in detail here; and also provided some files: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6237. I hope you can help me.
[06:37] <Smilez> jhong: I just like having tons of functionality, and ive had issues with the regular bittorrent client in windows... ill check out whats causing the issues
[06:37] <dyrne> cn28h_: it caches the packages it downloads so i wouldnt stop it in mid configure but while its downloading which is what taking so long for you id say it will resume fine
[06:38] <ncd> I Sure hope that when Ive recompiled my new kernel and the kernel source is in place, that the git code I have cloned from Intellinux3D

[06:38] <smanhooei> no
[06:38] <Smilez> but the error im getting is related to my java environment
[06:38] <bruenig> smanhooei, it would probably easier if you pasted an example of the text file

[06:39] <Thatguy> whats an alternative program of LimeWire?
[06:39] <Ix0s> Frostwire :)
[06:39] <smanhooei> i want to move the first and last colums to another file
[06:40] <void^> Smilez: pastebin it
[06:40] <smanhooei> first i use the "cut -c1-2 file1 >> file
[06:40] <stefg> Smilez, the azureus package in universe is more or less broken (as usual, i might add). First check your java-version to be 5 or 6, and sudo update-alternatives --config java. If it still crashes get the sourcefourge package and overwrite the azureus.jar with the one from sourceforge.... Errrm, isn't deluge a nice client, too?
[06:40] <M_Bison123> it keeps happening about 3-5 days after my installation...before that it worked fine.
[06:40] <bruenig> smanhooei, pastebin your text file, or at least something with the same pattern
[06:40] <smanhooei> then i use "paste" to past them
[06:40] <bruenig> !paste | smanhooei
[06:40] <ubotu> smanhooei: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:40] <awk_> somebody knows how to make mplayer+radeon+aiglx+compiz work together?
[06:40] <smanhooei> but a column of space apears in the middle
[06:40] <Smilez> void^:  Its very generic... :(
[06:41] <Smilez> stefg: Thanks for the info. ill check the java client
[06:41] <Smilez> i believe its version 5
[06:41] <Smilez> err, version 6
[06:41] <irvken> hey awk_
[06:41] <irvken> I got them working
[06:41] <M_Bison123> the removing packages part doesn't really bother me as much as trying to install metapackages....
[06:41] <irvken> but I was drunk and can't remeber how I did it
[06:42] <void^> stefg: swt.jar should be replaced as well
[06:42] <stefg> Smilez, try to rename the .azureus dir in your home-dir  to .azureus-bak and see if it changes something.
[06:42] <awk_> irvken: well.. it plays, but wobbly windows, transparency and cube does not work
[06:42] <Smilez> stefg: will do
[06:42] <stefg> void^, correct!
[06:42] <M_Bison123> basically, i have to indivudually type in every package i need that should be included in the kubuntu-desktop metapackage..or xubuntu...any metapackage
[06:43] <M_Bison123> this is not supposed to happen, that much i do know.
[06:44] <Smilez> stefg: Thanks... that seemed to work. (The renaming the directory thing...) I worry about the cpu/memory load that azureus will consume
[06:44] <bruenig> M_Bison123, so apt isn't resolving dependencies?
[06:44] <stefg> Smilez, azu is a *hog*, even uTorrent running in wine is more resource-friendly :-)
[06:44] <cello_rasp> well, /etc/sudoers didn't look odd. what should it look like??
[06:45] <Kaso> Every time i try to open the terminal it just fails to open, The "Starting Terminal" appears in the task bar, then nothing.
[06:45] <Toma-> Smilez: deluge is a brilliant torrent manager
[06:45] <Kaso> Its kinda frustrating, anyone have any ideas?
[06:45] <R> I'm planning to create a partition for Ubuntu so I can dualboot it with XP, how much space will Ubuntu take up once installed?
[06:45] <ncd> time to make menuconf
[06:45] <Smilez> stefg: yeah i have utorrent + wine, but its not so native
[06:45] <cello_rasp> dunstabulos: do you have a sample sudoers file for me to compare?
[06:45] <Smilez> Toma-: I just downloaded deluge, im going to install it now
[06:46] <cr10> hi
[06:46] <cr10> hi
[06:46] <Toma-> Smilez: high 5! /o/*\o\
[06:46] <mccabekev> hi guys - need help mounting a NAS drive to 7.04
[06:46] <stefg> R, give ubuntu 5 gigs if you're not planning on install cedega and loads of games
[06:46] <zucco> Hi, I made upgrade from kubuntu edgy to feisty, then my cdrom stops to work. What can I do to solve this issue ?
[06:46] <Smilez> hahah
[06:46] <mrabbit> i installed a bcm4318 driver via ndiswrapper using 'ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf' but then tried 'ndiswrapper -d eth1 bcmwl5' and got an error saying that eth1 is not a valid device id
[06:47] <Smilez> Toma-: not sure if it was intentional, but i read that as the voice of Borat
[06:47] <Toma-> haha!
[06:47] <Toma-> Smilez: yeh thatll do :D
[06:47] <Smilez> hehe
[06:47] <superm1> Hi guys, does ubuntu provide a basedebs.tar for those that wanted to debootstrap into a base system without redownloading all the base packages at all?
[06:47] <superm1> i have looked across the mirror at archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu but cant seem to find it
[06:48] <M_Bison123> ok, well i guess its impossible to fix my metapackage installer....how do i install the desktop environments from the source? i keep getting weird errors and it won't compile...eventhough i downloaded every package it says i needed....
[06:48] <stefg> zucco, look in your /etc/fstab if it says /dev/hdc or similiar, and change that to /dev/scd0 ... check your correct /dev -names
[06:48] <R> 5 gigs? okay, thanks
[06:48] <Smilez> shoot.... got a hot lunch date.... bbl ppls
[06:48] <bruenig> M_Bison123, if meta packages aren't installing, that would appear to indicate that you aren't able to resolve dependencies
[06:48] <Smilez> Thanks for the help
[06:48] <mrabbit> can anyone help me get a bcm4318 wireless card working in ubuntu, without a current network connection?
[06:49] <bruenig> M_Bison123, which will affect every package that has a dependency which is pretty much all of them except the base dependencies themselves
[06:49] <stefg> !wifi | mrabbit
[06:49] <M_Bison123> why does this keep happening ~ 3-5 days after my new install
[06:49] <ubotu> mrabbit: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:49] <zucco> stefg, that's it, thank you :-)
[06:49] <Toma-> M_Bison123: how exactly are you installing these metapackages? and have you edited your sources.list or something?
[06:50] <cello_rasp> hmm. has anyone got a sample sudoers file
[06:50] <lutenedm> I got my printer to work in Ubuntu, but now it won't print in Windows anymore.  Has anyone else experienced this?
[06:50] <bruenig> cello_rasp, you don't?
[06:50] <michuk> cello_rasp: what do you need to know?
[06:50] <M_Bison123> Toma, i haven't edited it...its doing the same thing if i use apt-get or aptitude in terminal or if i use synaptec package manger
[06:51] <Toma-> M_Bison123: whats the "same thing"?
[06:51] <michuk> cello_rasp: in my sudoers file there is only one basic line: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[06:51] <michuk> (admins have sudo access)
[06:51] <snap64__> ok ill try a fresh install of fiesty64 again
[06:51] <cello_rasp> i don't have sudo ability but i dont know what thwe sudoers file should look like. to me it looks fine. i think it may have something to do with when i did `sudo usermod -G fuse myusername`
[06:51] <M_Bison123> Toma: i'm having a bit of a strange issue while installing/uninstalling multiple package packages(metapackages i gues is what they're called)..such as kubuntu-desktop, so basically the issues are...i would really appreciate any advice or comments to help me figure this out: it will allow me to remove indivudual packages out of dependent packages without prompting me that it needs to remove the rest of the package....but when i remove
[06:51] <DocTrax> hi
[06:51] <DocTrax> what is md5 sum of ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso ?
[06:51] <mccabekev> im trying to mount my NAS in 7.04, but i cannot download directly to it - how can i fix this?
[06:51] <cello_rasp> michuk: that is what I have!
[06:52] <Toma-> M_Bison123: yeh i dont understand that
[06:52] <michuk> cello_raps: so what do you want to achieve?
[06:52] <cello_rasp> to have sudo!
[06:52] <M_Bison123> umm...like if i want to install kde instead of gnome the way ur supposed to do it is to install the package kubuntu-desktop
[06:52] <snap64__> easiest way is to just do what im doing frag it re-install till the cows come home ......and say mooo
[06:52] <cello_rasp> sudo apt-get install * ; doesn't return anything. no errors, nothing.
[06:53] <M_Bison123> when i install that package, the only thing it installs is 1 package..kubuntu-desktop
[06:53] <M_Bison123> and yes, i used sudo
[06:53] <cello_rasp> sudo ; returns the usage info, but sudo command does nothing. not even sudo ls
[06:53] <M_Bison123> even tried it from root.
[06:54] <Toma-> M_Bison123: well, its installed then.
[06:54] <irvken> anyone know anything about importing mysql dumps back into mysql server
[06:54] <irvken> I'm having problems
[06:54] <Flannel> cello_rasp: try `sudo -K` then some other command
[06:54] <irvken> I get sent to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/Documentation.html#faqmissingparameters but it doesn't seem applicable
[06:54] <stefg> mccabekev, what kind of service does this NAS offer? smb? ftp?
[06:54] <M_Bison123> bruening...do you know what i can do to fix this issue?
[06:55] <R> Can I modify the Ubuntu ISO so the LiveCD portion has NTFS support right off the bat?
[06:55] <cello_rasp> Flannel: gives me the usage condiftions. i think the syntax there is bad
[06:55] <M_Bison123> Toma, no none of the hundreds of dependent packages are installed along with kubuntu-desktop
[06:55] <Toma-> M_Bison123: are you certain?
[06:55] <Flannel> cello_rasp: `sudo -K` is the syntax
[06:55] <M_Bison123> yes.
[06:55] <mccabekev> stefg - it offers both, although i do not have ftp turned on
[06:55] <Flannel> cello_rasp: hm.  that gives you the usage?
[06:56] <dinochopins> how do I run crontab as.. let's say user 'abc' ?
[06:56] <cello_rasp> Flannel: sudo -K ls
[06:56] <cello_rasp> yep
[06:56] <Flannel> cello_rasp: no no.  Literally just `sudo -K` and then some other sudo command
[06:57] <cello_rasp> Flannel: it asks me for password and returns nothing.
[06:57] <Flannel> cello_rasp: the -K or the other command?
[06:57] <stefg> mccabekev, if you run gnome you should already have a samba client. Can you connect via 'Server-connections' in the places menu?
[06:57] <cello_rasp> sudo -K ; sudo ls
[06:57] <Flannel> cello_rasp: -K won't return anything.  And, well, I guess its good that sudo ls is asking you, since it means -K worked.
[06:58] <stantheman215> i'm a newbie to linux and ubuntu.  trying to get my wireless to work on my laptop but having difficulty making a connection with the built in  driver:  BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller.  Can anyone help me?
[06:58] <cello_rasp> Flannel: however, sudo ls should return something, so it is still broken

[07:00] <necr0mancer> Where is the fstab file? I forget.
[07:00] <giulio> hello
[07:00] <mccabekev> stefg - i can connect to it, and have it mapped, however, it is not an option i can download straight to - i want to use it the same way a mapped network drive in windows works. I need to be able to run bittorrents on linux and save directly to the NAS
[07:00] <mrabbit> can somebody tell me what ndiswrapper means by devide id, cos it wont accept eth1

[07:04] <JBG62> I have 32-bit Feisty installed on an AMD64 laptop, and was thinking of installing the 64-bit version. Can I just upgrade the kernel, or do I need to start again from scratch?
[07:05] <Gaspro> hey guys i got a problem: when cable to the modem get detached and then reattached, only the local network (192.x) comes up... i would like automatic reconnection also for DSL (pon dsl-provider)... anyone could help with /etc/network/interfaces scripting?
[07:05] <kalpik> JBG62, better to start from scratch
[07:05] <Toma-> JBG62: install from scratch
[07:05] <JBG62> damn
[07:05] <Toma-> JBG62: simply changing stuff to 64bit will open a portal to hell on your harddrive
[07:05] <Lunderhage> JBG62: All your binaries are compiled for i386...
[07:05] <kalpik> JBG62, if you are satisfied with 32 bit, not worth switching to AMD64
[07:05] <dyrne> JBG62: id install it to another 8gig partition or something and play around first
[07:06] <andy`> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[07:06] <andy`> See `config.log' for more details.
[07:06] <andy`> what should i do?
[07:06] <saxman> does anybody use Kopete? I've got a question which belongs to Kopete
[07:06] <rambo3> thought they will change  to 486 soon
[07:06] <JBG62> I suspected it might not be that easy, but thought I'd ask
[07:06] <kitche> andy`: install build-essentials
[07:06] <stefg> andy`: see config.log for details ? :-)
[07:06] <shinichizio> My automatic update thing is full of craziness. Should I bother using it?
[07:07] <kalpik> shinichizio, details
[07:07] <kalpik> ?
[07:07] <Lunderhage> If I have changed the bootloader (moved a hdd from usb to ide), how could I get the upgrade util to be aware of the new settings? My box died after upgrading kernel. It rolled back to the old bootloader settings.
[07:07] <saxman> There is normally the Kopete icon in the top Desktop Panel, but it disapeard. How can i get it back. I'm not able to close Kopete by using the icon.
[07:08] <Kaso> Every time i try to open the terminal it just fails to open, The "Starting Terminal" appears in the task bar, then nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?
[07:08] <Gaspro> hey guys i got a problem: when cable to the modem get detached and then reattached, only the local network (192.x) comes up... i would like automatic reconnection also for DSL (pon dsl-provider)... anyone could help with /etc/network/interfaces scripting? anyone could help me?
[07:08] <mccabekev> stefg - thanks, but i am a linux newbie - how the hell does this thing work??
[07:08] <mccabekev> :p
[07:08] <Wicks_> how can i take my processor cores off of "ondemand"?
[07:08] <shinichizio> kalpik: 'Software Updates' pops up every so often and tells me I've got a bunch (approx. 171meg) of updates, which are mostly extraneous and somewhat random applications and a few files that sound important. However, upon trying to install any of these, it hangs, telling me '1 of [X]  files downloaded', remaining time 'unknown'. What?
[07:08] <thebillywayne> Gaspro, unfortunately your cable modem has to be reset once becoming unplugged.
[07:08] <stefg> Lunderhage, read /boot/grub/menu.lst *very* careful. there are a lot of magic words in it that control the update-grub procedure. see the !grub factoid fora howto
[07:09] <Lunderhage> !grub | Lunderhage
[07:09] <shinichizio> oh, wow. It just started downloading at 213b/s. That's...REALLY slow.
[07:09] <Gaspro> thebillywayne how can i reset it automatically when wth0 comes up?
[07:09] <kalpik> shinichizio, try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[07:09] <thebillywayne> Gaspro, I don't know.
[07:09] <saxman> There is normally the Kopete icon in the top Desktop Panel, but it disapeard. How can i get it back.  If then I enter "pon dsl-provider" all is ok
[07:11] <shinichizio> kalpik: Okay, I'll try that. Thanks.
[07:11] <thebillywayne> Gaspro, excellent.  i'll write that down. :)
[07:11] <craigbass1976> Hey, when did xfce get a regular menu?  I just popped in xubuntu and last I remember you had to right click on the desktop to get the applications menu.
[07:11] <arif> hey
[07:11] <saxman> nobody knows?
[07:11] <craigbass1976> saxman, nobody knows what?
[07:11] <arif> i need help with my synaptic package manager
[07:11] <andy`> can anybody private me and help me install kdm theme manager ???
[07:11] <Gaspro> thebillywayne : hehe, but can i do this automatically? i/e without typing? is there a way ?
[07:11] <arif> E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[07:11] <arif> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
