[04:31] <porter1> Anyone know if there is a Qt Eclipse integration package in the repos?
[04:31] <Aframester> did everyone have a good christmas
[04:31] <Delvien> Yep
[04:31] <Delvien> You?
[04:31] <xtknight> porter1, not that i know of, although there is QDevelop which is a great IDE for Qt4
[04:32] <porter1> Yeah, I just thought it might be nice to have it all in eclipse to save the hassles. Oh well. I'll try both options I guess.
[04:32] <T1> how do i open a port for torrent downloading, i get NAT error
[04:33] <Aframester> good
[04:33] <Lou_> There is a bad bug in libc-2.8.90.so which makes programs which use it unable to access my home directory.  Here is an example listing from my system log: "Dec 26 12:21:17 lat-ws kernel: [142971.114145] gimp-2.6[14874]: segfault at 78 ip b7589fbe sp b40fef20 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7517000+158000]".  In this case gimp died trying to save a file to the home directory.
[04:34] <Lou_> will someone please report this bug?
[04:34] <bazhang> !bugs
[04:37] <narzy> what command can I use to see all the hard drive attached to my system and their filesystem?
[04:38] <hansel> mount
[04:38] <hansel> sudo lshw -C storage
[04:38] <mwhit74> !defrag
[04:38] <narzy> what is lshw?
[04:38] <Sefyroth> Hello, I have just set up a dual monitor rig with Xubuntu and I was wondering if it's possible to have a panel bar with tasks of each monitor on both.
[04:39] <Sefyroth> I, right now, see all tasks on the one panel.
[04:39] <LanoxxthShaddow> hi there, i just tried to to some updates but i still have 10 packages that are beeing held back by aptitude, how to i get aptitude to install them?
[04:40] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone synced a mobile phone's address book and calendar to Evolution on Ubuntu over bluetooth?  I'm trying to figure out what is needed in a phone to do so.  Is it just the Bluetooth Object Push Profile for VCard and VCalendar, or something separate?
[04:40] <terli> lanoxxthShaddow, try using -f
[04:40] <narzy> it doesn't show hard drive size...
[04:40] <mwhit74> anyone know how to defrag an external hd, i was on here earlier and the ubuntu bot had something for me but i can't remember the key word help please
[04:41] <sfer2> !defrag | mwhit74
[04:41] <davenull> narzy: df
[04:41] <genii> narzy: lshw is "list hardware". If you want hard drive sizes, etc use instead something like:   sudo fdisk -l
[04:41] <mwhit74> sfer2: i already tried that but thats not what i was looking for
[04:42] <genii> narzy: This will also show you what filesystems
[04:42] <terli> mwhit74 is this an external ntfs
[04:42] <narzy> thanks
[04:42] <mwhit74> terli: yes the code starts our "sudo mount -o loop"... i can't remember the rest
[04:42] <wartalker> i run apt-get, You will have to enable the component called 'universe', why?
[04:43] <LanoxxthShaddow> sudo apt-get -f install, i tried this, and i got: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded.
[04:43] <cn28h> Trying to boot 8.10 I get lots of errors from zlib and squashfs.. the cdrom verification fails but taking the md5 of the cd gives correct results.  I read similar things from other users that were fixed by passing ide=nodma or acpi=off, but these didn't do it for me.. any ideas?
[04:43] <narzy> how do i format /dev/sda as ext 3?
[04:44] <terli> mwhit74, linux has no defragmentation problems. all native partitions to our machine are fragmentation-proof. One recommendation I have is to copy all the files off of the drive then re-copy them onto it.
[04:44] <cn28h> narzy, usually you don't directly format a device like that.. perhaps you want to format a partition on it?
[04:44] <genii> narzy: sda is the entire drive without partitions. You want like sda1 or sda2 or so on
[04:44] <narzy> I want the entire disk to be one partition
[04:44] <genii> narzy: You need to make one then
[04:44] <cn28h> then use cfdisk to do that and then format /dev/sda1
[04:44] <narzy> I'm going to put /home on it.
[04:45] <terli> lannoxxthShaddow, apt-get is not aptitude
[04:45] <justizin> howdy, i'm running intrepid on an acer aspire netbook which gets almost 4.5 hr of battery life, and i set it to suspend, rather than power off, on low battery, but it doesn't work.  can i set it somehow to trigger this at a lower battery pct, or is there a possibility my setting didn't apply?
[04:45] <terli> try sudo aptitude dist-upgrade -f
[04:45] <mwhit74> terli: its not a linux partition. its an external drive, formatted for fat32. i had something on it earlier but i can't find/remember
[04:46] <narzy> it says "Fatal error Cannot open disk..."
[04:46] <terli> mwhit74, ntfs and fat16/32 fragmentation issues are NOT supported by linux.
[04:47] <mwhit74> terli: not good cause i can't get the hd to mount in windows to defrag it
[04:48] <mwhit74> terli: so what do you think the documentation i found earlier was
[04:48] <moof_> i have installed ubuntu with wubi and i want to use all of the HD with ubuntu. what do i do?
[04:48] <Grassputin> screw nm-applet and it's retardedness with static IPs!
[04:48] <bazhang> moof_, you want to remove windows?
[04:49] <Org-Mode> moof_: just pop in a ubuntu Live CD reboot computer and install it from that
[04:49] <moof_> yep.
[04:49] <moof_> unfortunately that's not an option, sorry.
[04:49] <bazhang> moof_,  use entire disk from live cd install
[04:49] <moof_> no cd drive, no flash drives
[04:49] <Org-Mode> moof_: ouch
[04:49] <bazhang> moof_, is this a netbook?
[04:49] <moof_> it's an eeepc
[04:50] <Brack10> hello
[04:50] <revilodraw> i used be able to right click and get cool options like 'root nautilus here', what do i need to install to get them back?
[04:50] <terli> revilodraw, those are metapackages
[04:51] <streenz> moof_, in ubuntu you have the option to create a USB thumb drive that is bootable, and boot off of that instead of using a LiveCD
[04:51] <terli> let me get you a command
[04:51] <Brack10> according to system monitor, I'm using up 461 MB of ram but in the processes list, the most usage shown is 50MB.  I have all processes selected, is there something I'm missing?>
[04:51] <streenz> thats what I did with my Acer Aspire One and it was easy as pie
[04:51] <moof_> no usb drive.
[04:52] <moof_> i was told that i could just delete the windows partition and use it's space for storage
[04:52] <bazhang> moof_, you have a usb port though correct?
[04:52] <moof_> correct.
[04:52] <revilodraw> terli; ok, so what do i do?
[04:52] <bazhang> you can use a usb flash key moof_
[04:52] <terli> revioldraw just search for nautilus-named packages in synaptic
[04:52] <moof_> i don't own one
[04:52] <terli> all the scripts will show up
[04:52] <billybigrigger> does ubuntu have problems with certain wireless encrpytions? what should i be using wep wpa or wpa2?
[04:52] <Org-Mode> flash keys are cheap these days
[04:53] <moof_> i'm not really in the proper geographic location to get one
[04:53] <moof_> if it was an option i would've done that already
[04:53] <moof_> haha
[04:53] <joljam> i have a problem detecting usb in vmware installed in intrepid
[04:53] <joljam> can anyone help me with it
[04:53] <narzy> how do I delete and recreate the partion on /dev/sda?
[04:53] <jjt009> does anyone here know about ldd?
[04:54] <jjt009> how to interpret the output of ldd?
[04:54] <joljam> how to detect usb in vmware
[04:54] <Org-Mode> join #vmware joljam
[04:56] <gaintsura> joljam: as for the last one, if its like virtualbox, yes, other than that, no
[04:56] <streenz> moof_, so maybe run "sudo gparted" in terminal, unmount the windows partition, and then create a new one?
[04:57] <streenz> er delete it and create a new one
[04:57] <moof_> which one's the windows partition?
[04:57] <terli> moof,
[04:57] <terli> running mount will show all paritions mounted
[04:57] <terli> including the windows one if it happens to be detected
[04:58] <T1> whats a command to open a port for azureus
[04:58] <streenz> moof_, the one that is NTFS or FAT and looks the same size of your windows partition should be it :-P
[04:59] <moof_> let me explain to you what's confusing to me
[04:59] <moof_> in gparted i have 2 partitions
[05:00] <moof_>  /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
[05:00] <moof_> both are ntfs filesystems
[05:00] <moof_> sda is 3.76 GiB, sdb is 15.03 GiB
[05:01] <moof_> is it safe to assume that sdb is windows?
[05:01] <Paddy_EIRE> R1_, You there?
[05:01] <genii> moof_: Those are two separate disk drives
[05:01] <moof_> i see.
[05:01] <moof_> well
[05:01] <Org-Mode> O.o Paddy_EIRE long smoke break :P but i told him you were afk
[05:01] <moof_> then i can't find the windows partition
[05:01] <Paddy_EIRE> Org-Mode, yeah I had an extended one
[05:01] <Org-Mode> lol
[05:02] <Paddy_EIRE> I am off to bed
[05:02] <moof_> that can't be right, there's no way my eeepc has 2 disk drives.
[05:02] <Paddy_EIRE> later ppl
[05:02] <Org-Mode> cya Paddy_EIRE
[05:03] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone synced a mobile phone's address book and calendar to Evolution on Ubuntu over bluetooth?  I'm trying to figure out what is needed in a phone to do so.  Is it just the Bluetooth Object Push Profile for VCard and VCalendar, or something separate?
[05:03] <genii> moof_: external usb storage counts also as a disk drive
[05:03] <moof_> i have no external usb storage device
[05:03] <moof_> i have an ethernet cable that goes to my router
[05:03] <moof_> and that's it
[05:04] <genii> moof_: Maybe ask them in #eeepc   whats up with it. Could be there is some internal disk-on-chip or something
[05:04] <moof_> ok, thanks.
[05:05] <Grassputin> moof_: try #ubuntu-eeepc as well
[05:06] <justizin> speaking of netbook, anyone know about using sd card slot on acer aspire one?
[05:06] <Grassputin> card slots are bad juju man.... they're just evil
[05:06] <cryz> hi. anyone can tell me if there is a core install available for ubuntu?
[05:07] <blacknred01> does anybody knows how to install "Evolution Jean-Yves Lefort's Mail Notification plugin"?
[05:07] <genii> cryz: ubuntu-minimal
[05:07] <cryz> genii: thx
[05:07] <streenz> justizin, tbh I have one and ive never used the SD slot lol
[05:07] <genii> cryz: np
[05:08] <streenz> justizin, theres something about the SD slots here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L
[05:08] <Flannel> cryz: Check out the alternate CD, and just do the text-mode install.  It'll give you ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal (you really do want -standard, minimal isn't very functional)
[05:08] <justizin> yah i'm not on 110L, have seen the normal AspireOne page, just no luck following instructions :/
[05:08] <justizin> 110L I think is the EU model with 3G.
[05:09] <justizin> I paid $50-100 more and got no 3G :-P
[05:09] <justizin> also paid $50 more on Amazon than fricking radio shack charge for one with slightly smaller HD
[05:09] <justizin> i mean of all the places, who'd have known radio shack would have this thing i couldn't find at circuit city or anywhere..
[05:10] <justizin> told all my friends in SF to go grab one at radio shack for 350 120G drive same battery and specs as mine, 1.6G atom, 1.0G RAM, WinXP included (no linux with larger battery)
[05:10] <shiMMer> what is best application to edit mp3 file??i need make .wav for my ringtones..
[05:10] <streenz> my 1.5gb ram, 160gb hdd one I got at a computer shop for the equivalent of $280 USD ($350canadian) ... 3 cel battery, Linux
[05:10] <moDumass> hey all, im trying to create a boot usb but i cant seem to format my thumbdrive
[05:11] <moDumass> any ideas?
[05:11] <justizin> shiMMer: not sure about ringtones, look at audacity for audio editing on free desktop
[05:11] <matthew_> I'm trying to install video drivers and have followed several sets up directions, anyone care to help me?
[05:11] <justizin> moDumass: what've you tried?
[05:11] <cryz> maybe someone can confirm this with me... i installed the latest version 8.10, it comes with a bunch of apps that I won't be using, for example, rhythmbox. now let's say i am removing it with aptitude, apt-get, or synaptic. it removes only the rhythmbox package, but none of it's dependencies. which makes sense because the install of rhythmbox took place during the main install so it's didn't record it as being a manual install with automatic inst
[05:12] <terli> rythmbox has no dependencies
[05:12] <moDumass> justizin, im trying unetbootin, and i can select the usb drive, but it says 900mb used, but also empty so im guessing its possibly full of corrupted data or is unformatted
[05:12] <cryz> terli; actually it does.
[05:12] <moDumass> JustiziN i would have thaught there would be a "format" option, but i cant find it
[05:13] <streenz> moDumass, I format mine using gparted "sudo gparted" in terminal ... find it in the dropdown list, Unmount, then Format To... and choose a filesystem
[05:13] <matthew_> Anyone care to help me install my video drivers? The install script gives me an error that it can't compile the AGPGART module or the kernel
[05:13] <cryz> terli; run aptitude, search for the package, check the infos. it depends on 73 libs
[05:14] <moDumass> streenz, thanks
[05:14] <justizin> moDumass: you need to create vfat partition and mount it before using unetbootin
[05:14] <ziroday> cryz: those dependencies are needed by other gnome apps, not just rhythmbox.
[05:14] <ccnix_> ......
[05:14] <ziroday> ccnix_: do you have a question we can help you with?
[05:14] <justizin> also consider installing liveusb, google 'ubuntu liveusb' is possible to get it installed from older archives and works fine on intrepid.
[05:14] <justizin> just not in intrepid archives for some sad, sad, unchristmaslike reason. :/
[05:15] <matthew_> Ok, can anyone tell me another room where I can go to get help with installing video drivers?
[05:15]  * justizin frowns at canonical discarding xen and liveusb :/
[05:15] <moDumass> justizin, yeh im trying to install eeeubuntu
[05:15] <ccnix_> no ,thank you
[05:15] <justizin> matthew_: can try #linux, sorry i can't help, not much for linux and video drivers in recent times. :/
[05:15] <shiMMer> can any1 help me with kismet??i cant run it.appear some error.i need to put source in kismet.conf i think.i dun know what source im using..please help
[05:16] <moDumass> streens, the usb drive isnt on gparted as an option
[05:16] <matthew_> thanks justizin
[05:16] <cryz> ziroday; but for example. totem, it depends on totem-gstreamer & totem-plugins. only totem should depend on those. if i remove totem, it won't remove the dependencies
[05:16] <justizin> moDumass: okay, whatever you are trying to do with unetbootin, you need to use gparted or something to create a fat16/fat32 (pref fat32, usually called 'vfat') partition, then mount it, and point unetbootin at it.
[05:16] <streenz> moDumass, are you sure? if its showing up elsewhere then it should be showing up in gparted...
[05:16] <ziroday> cryz: okay, you can file a bug about it :)
[05:17] <justizin> once you've done that, I personally grant you permission to use the nick "lessDumass" ;)
[05:17] <jjt009> does anyone know about ldd?
[05:17] <moDumass> streens, yeh its strantge, it mounts onto my desktop, as the same size, i just cant select it, but its not showing in gparted
[05:17] <nbeebo> why does this come? http://paste.ubuntu.com/92876/plain/
[05:17] <justizin> ldd?
[05:17] <jjt009> the command ldd?
[05:18] <jjt009> dependencies
[05:18] <justizin> nbeebo: can you upgrade that app or any dependant libraries? try apt-get install --reinstall amaya or somesuch
[05:18] <Decepticon> what can i do to prevent hostile takeover of my server if i am offering a priviledged account to someone with sudo access
[05:18] <nbeebo> justizin hmmmm... ok ill try
[05:18] <moDumass> streenz, sorry my bad, didnt look deep enough, i see there are other options now, il be back
[05:18] <justizin> Decepticon: you can limit sudo access to particlar commands, and you can use group access to delegate shared service-specific access.
[05:19] <icepenguin> Decepticon: if you're concerned about someone with sudo access taking over your server, you probably shouldn't give that person sudo access.
[05:19] <Decepticon> how can i limit sudo access
[05:19] <justizin> if you grant full sudo, i mean, there's not much can be done.  modern ubuntu has no root access, only sudo, so that's the greatest access there can be without haxoring.
[05:19] <ziroday> can anyone recommend a GTK photo managing app?
[05:19] <justizin> Decepticon: read sudo manpage / website / etc..
[05:19] <justizin> it's a bit much for me to editorialize over irc
[05:20] <icepenguin> ziroday: I know picasa is available in a linux version, I'm unsure if its GTK however.
[05:20] <justizin> ziroday: gnome has something, gphotosomethign or other
[05:20] <justizin> F-Spot!
[05:20] <justizin> pops up when i plug my iPhone in
[05:20] <icepenguin> iphone... bah.  my stupid blackberry still won't work properly in linux.
[05:20] <streenz> gThumb 2.10.10 An image viewer and browser for GNOME.
[05:20] <justizin> well, i mean, you don't need a driver to charge battery over usb ;d
[05:20] <cryz> ziroday; but i don't think it's a bug. im starting to believe that's simply how it works. the dependency removal only takes place on packages that were installed manually, manually meaning an installation requested by the user. if you look in aptitude, all the dependencies are flagged as automatic, so thats why when you remove the package the dependencies are removed as well. but in the case of the packages installed by the ubuntu installation, t
[05:20] <ziroday> justizin: gphoto2?
[05:21] <justizin> but F-Spot / GNOME seem to recognize the iPhone as a camera and ask for importing..
[05:21] <icepenguin> justizin: with the blackberry you do.  so lame :(
[05:21] <nbeebo> justizin well im doing fresh install now anyways so bye and thanks
[05:21] <justizin> ziroday: maybe, f-spot sounds more famil, but maybe i have crossed nerves
[05:21] <justizin> icepenguin: really? no charging w/o driver?
[05:21] <terli> it's gtk.
[05:21] <ziroday> cryz: I can't really be sure of it myself, filing a bug would be the best place for it
[05:21] <justizin> i mean, iphone charges over usb to a dumb AC adapter.  we have one up on the bed.
[05:21] <ziroday> justizin: f-spot is a mono app and I'm not fond of those
[05:21] <justizin> so i plug it into my netbook as well, charges fine, just no itunes love ;d
[05:21] <icepenguin> justizin: yep, I get a nice error stating that the connection is 'insufficient for charging' if there's no driver installed, regardless of OS.
[05:21] <terli> f-spot is MONO?
[05:21] <justizin> ziroday: bigot! :-P
[05:22] <cryz> ziroday; thanks anyway :)
[05:22] <terli> then why doesn't it work on iwndows
[05:22] <ziroday> terli: correct
[05:22] <justizin> mono == CLR == ISO
[05:22] <matthew_> justizin, everyone in #linux is talking about crap, any other suggestions?
[05:22] <terli> *cries*
[05:22] <slavsun> terli> yes
[05:22] <justizin> matthew_: i am always happy to talk about non-crap.
[05:22] <justizin> what am i suggesting on?
[05:22] <justizin> me is on an 8.9" screen forgive that you may scroll past fast
[05:22] <terli> everything on linux, gtk and gnome included, should either be written in perl or mono.
[05:22] <icepenguin> I got it to charge with Barry, but if I try and mount my SD card, infinite reboot loop on the phone.  Its so awesome :D
[05:22] <icepenguin> terli: Um ew.  I'll stick to ruby, thanks.
[05:22] <justizin> terli: perl or mono? heh..
[05:23] <matthew_> justizin: somewhere to find help on getting my video drivers working
[05:23] <icepenguin> or pascal :P
[05:23] <terli> and the kernel should be all C converted to assembly
[05:23] <icepenguin> o_O
[05:23] <moDumass> justizin and streenz i found it in gparted, but when i select unmount it is still "scanning all devices" is this normal?
[05:23] <justizin> matthew_: i suck at using things that ubuntu doesn't support by default.  sorry.  i'm trying to get back to my 14-year old roots as i approach 30, but i've become a mac weenie in recent years. :/
[05:23] <yan_> hi I am a new
[05:23] <justizin> moDumass: things never stopping is never normal.
[05:23] <justizin> you can always reboot
[05:23] <justizin> see if gparted shows your changes
[05:23] <justizin> who knows
[05:24] <c1rcuit> what would be the path to a file on my desktop?
[05:24] <c1rcuit> sorry noob
[05:24] <justizin> worst that happens is your computer dies, hope you have a rescue cd or usb ;d
[05:24] <ziroday> c1rcuit: /home/<username>/Desktop/<filename>
[05:24] <icepenguin> Anyhow, I do have a question - anyone familiar with Atheros wifi connections just randomly dropping every few minutes for no really good discernable reason?
[05:24] <c1rcuit> ok danks
[05:24] <ziroday> icepenguin: what card?
[05:24] <terli> my wireless drops once every two hours
[05:24] <terli> integrated intel chip
[05:24] <justizin> icepenguin: i have atheros on my netbook, what driver are you using? an dyah, as ziroday ask, what chip?
[05:24] <icepenguin> ziroday: er... 2 seconds, gotta see what my macbook has got specifically
[05:24] <terli> perfectly normal behavior
[05:24] <yan_> why i am quit,
[05:24] <grendal_prime> ya this is not as easy as it sounds..
[05:24] <matthew_> justizin: lol, I've had to install 1 driver on MAC and every other driver install I've done has been on Windows, so trust me, I'm more lost than you, I'll try to forums, thanks for trying
[05:25] <razaccour> can i install Ubuntu on my Palm Treo 650?
[05:25] <icepenguin> AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless
[05:25] <ziroday> razaccour: not easily
[05:25] <grendal_prime> just ajoining like an mp3 onto an existing ...ogg video?
[05:25] <justizin> icepenguin: what kind of machine?
[05:25] <razaccour> how hard is it?
[05:25] <icepenguin> justizin: macbook pro (santa rosa chipset).
[05:25] <justizin> have you searched google 'ubuntu' plus motherboard, chipset model ?
[05:26] <justizin> ah macbook pro.. i am not sure i have wifi working on my MBP, as i don't use it primary.
[05:26] <razaccour> ziroday, how hard is it?
[05:26] <icepenguin> yeah, I've done all the standard set up stuff, and it works... then just randomly dumps connection every 10 mins. -ish
[05:26] <ziroday> razaccour: actually I think it is impossible.  I tried disabling the bgscan but to no avail.  I've also compiled the newest madwifi, etc, tried changing networkmanager for wicd, etc.
[05:27] <ziroday> shatly: you can just reformat the drive and it will kill it
[05:27] <ley> Is anyone here?
[05:27] <ziroday> ley: only around 1400 people
[05:27] <ley> ah.ha
[05:27] <shatly> no, it is some hidden partiton but sudo fdisk -l only list one
[05:27] <moDumass> streenz, changed thumb drives and things are looking good
[05:27] <ley> Is xbutu more faster than ubuntu?
[05:27] <shatly> eath time it is in a windows computer it is re installed
[05:27] <ziroday> shatly: does that partition take all the space?
[05:28] <ziroday> ley: yes
[05:28] <shatly> ziroday: a bit, just want to keep it from lanching automaticaly on windows computers
[05:28] <ziroday> shatly: then if you format that partition it will remove U3
[05:28] <icepenguin> justizin: Just umount it from commandline, it ought to pop out... do you have pommed installed?
[05:28] <streenz> moDumass, good good... once the USB thumbdrive is formatted... go under System - Administration - Make a USB Startup Disc...... then point it at your ubuntu .iso
[05:28] <ley> I want play some windows games,how can I run them? wine is too slow to run 3D games...
[05:29] <ziroday> shatly: however for windows and U3 you will need to ask in ##windows
[05:29] <icepenguin> ley: eh? I run Oblivion, World of Warcraft, etc, in Wine.
[05:29] <shatly> ziroday: no, i formated it to a linux then to fat 32, and the put back into a windows computer, after 30 seconds it restores itself
[05:29] <moDumass> streenz, already ahead of you
[05:29] <ziroday> ley: besides wine there is cedega a closed source, propriatery version and that is it
[05:29] <moDumass> streenz, thanks though, i think it was a bung thumb, other than that its cruising along nicely
[05:29] <ziroday> shatly: you will have to ask in ##windows regarding U3 issues
[05:29] <icepenguin> ley: if you go to the appdb on winehq.org it ought to have instructions on how to get games working, provided they are able to be run. (not all games will work)
[05:29] <streenz> moDumass, k cool, thats exactly what I did to install ubuntu on my Acer Aspire One netbook and its workin great
[05:30] <ley> I run Counter-Striker Source slowly in wine...
[05:30] <revilodraw> i have some files in my trash can which wont delete, they have a padlock symbol on them, any ideas?
[05:30] <ziroday> ley: did you try looking at the fixes/speed increases specified in the appdb?
[05:30] <icepenguin> ley: that may be a 3d driver or system issue then, cause all the source engine stuff tends to work *very* well.  What have you got for a video card and such?
[05:30] <ziroday> revilodraw: open up nautilus as root and then remove them
[05:31] <moDumass> streenz, awesome, they had a sale on eepcs, 300 for a 900 with a gig of ram and 12gig hdd (windows), or 450 for linux with 512 megs and 6gig hdd - so im replacing windows
[05:31] <ley> I use "free" driver. My video card is Nvidia geforce 7300 Go
[05:31] <revilodraw> ziroday: ok, alt f2, gksudo nautilus, password, then how do i open the trash as root?
[05:31] <ziroday> !trash | revilodraw
[05:31] <icepenguin> ley: ahh, you need to use Nvidia's binary driver for 3d gaming.
[05:32] <icepenguin> ley: you can install it in the restricted drivers section under the admin menu as I recall.
[05:32] <revilodraw> ubottu:  thanks (i know you are a bot)
[05:32] <streenz> better than the rest of us who arent bots but still might not be intelligent
[05:33] <terli> I'm intelligent, whatcha saying willis, I'm INTELLEGENT!
[05:33] <ley> Really? Someone told me the driver in the source is excelent
[05:33] <icepenguin> ley: if you want 3D gaming on an nvidia card in linux, you need to use nvidia's driver.
[05:33] <ley> thanks
[05:33] <icepenguin> np.
[05:33] <terli> ley, with a nvidia card and wine, you can have it all :-D
[05:34] <jay2> Merry Christmas everyone :))
[05:34] <terli> use the proprietary drivers and follow a wine tweaking guide
[05:34] <terli> jay2, it happens to be 11:34.
[05:34] <terli> you have precisely 26 minutes left to wish us this merry christmas.

[05:34] <jay2> close enoff I was over at my familys house so I am sorry if the timeing is off :((
[05:34] <Pilot_51> hi, does anyone know how to force an application to use X11 for video?
[05:34] <ley> By the way.
[05:35] <ley> My browser usually draw a wrong border.
[05:35] <jay2> 21:32:50 pm
[05:35] <ley> My system is Ubuntu 8.04
[05:35] <piojunbabia> hello?
[05:35] <jay2> 25/01/2008
[05:35] <piojunbabia> this is my first time to use ubuntu...
[05:35] <terli> ley, I recommend upgrading to 10.04 LTS promptly
[05:36] <piojunbabia> i need help
[05:36] <ley> Can XChat send a picture?
[05:36] <Pilot_51> i'm especially trying to get skype webcam to work without crashing
[05:36] <revilodraw> ziroday' thansk
[05:36] <icepenguin> Pilot_51: I'd check to see if the given app you're using supports that video output method, i don't think you can just force a given app to use a specific method (SDL, x11, etc, blah), I do believe it has to be build with support for them.
[05:36] <terli> !xchat
[05:37] <Pilot_51> i don't see it available in skype
[05:37] <tavo> Hi Merry Christmas :D
[05:37] <tavo> !
[05:37] <piojunbabia> hey do you know where to get driver for my sound card?
[05:37] <ley> I have requested a CD.
[05:37] <piojunbabia> please?
[05:37] <icepenguin> Pilot_51: its possible it isnt, but if you're using a webcam, that's not a video output issue (unless its viewing someone elses?)
[05:37] <piojunbabia> Merry Christmas to all
[05:37] <Pilot_51> i found out that setting video to X11 in VLC gets rid of corruption such as vertical lines and that incoming webcam video in skype had the same vertical lines
[05:38] <tavo> I'd like knowing how could I speed up nautilus?
[05:38] <piojunbabia> am i invisible here?
[05:38] <icepenguin> Pilot_51: ahh its incoming.  Do you have desktop effects turned on by chance?
[05:38] <ley> Do you know how to disable nvidia power mizer in fedora?
[05:38] <Pilot_51> nope
[05:38] <jay2> hmmm ubuntu does anyone know the next name for the next version?
[05:38] <icepenguin> Pilot_51: hmm.
[05:38] <terli> piojunbabia: I heartily recommend running   sudo apt-get update universe && clear && echo done
[05:38] <icepenguin> ley: I'd ask that in #fedora
[05:38] <Pilot_51> the drivers have very weak support for my video hardware
[05:39] <ley> thanks. bye
[05:39] <terli> !drivers
[05:39] <Pilot_51> it's an old Gateway Solo 5300 laptop
[05:40] <jay2> hmmm love ubuntu but I think that I am going to see if I can get a work around when installing it instead of always hitting the tab button
[05:40] <jay2> during install
[05:40] <terli> !lulz
[05:40] <icepenguin> Pilot_51: this looks like it *might* be related to your issue? http://www.techienuggets.com/Comments?tx=55955
[05:40] <piojunbabia> !drivers
[05:40] <jay2> ubottu that is a cute name :))
[05:41] <piojunbabia> !help
[05:41] <terli> !intel
[05:41] <piojunbabia> !sound
[05:41] <Pilot_51> doesn't look like the same symptoms but i'll look into that
[05:41] <icepenguin> Pilot_51: yeah, sorry I can't be more help, really, just google around I supose, or post on the forums (or search the forums).

[05:44] <Mike_92> I just upgraded to Intriped and my audio doesn't work, can someone help me?
[05:44] <terli> EVERYONE RUN AWAY
[05:44] <Kalidarn> where do i ask about ubuntu packaging questions
[05:44] <Flannel> !ru | TUenUT
[05:44] <Flannel> terli: please don't do that
[05:44] <Kalidarn> (im creating packages)
[05:44] <TUenUT> sorry
[05:44] <terli> sorry, I just got over the cold war last week.
[05:44] <terli> *cough cough sneeze*
[05:44] <icepenguin> !audio | Mike_92
[05:45] <Kalidarn> just wondering if ubuntu has a special channel for debian packing related stuff
[05:45] <terli> of course we do kalidarn
[05:45] <Kalidarn> yar what is it ;)
[05:45] <terli> we own #debian for that
[05:45] <Kalidarn> lol
[05:45] <Kalidarn> not funny ;)
[05:45] <terli> all our debianites live there
[05:46] <terli> poor isolationalists
[05:46] <Flannel> terli: Please stop.  This is a support channel. If you want to joke around or chat, we have #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[05:46] <Flannel> Kalidarn: #ubuntu-motu is a good place for packaging questions
[05:46] <Kalidarn> thx
[05:47] <gbear14275> would anyone be willing to look at a script and give me some advice on why it might not be working as it should?
[05:47] <terli> of course gbear
[05:47] <terli> gimme a link to the pastebin
[05:47] <gbear14275> terli: thanks... will do
[05:47] <nik_federmann> I'm a new ubuntu user, basically, it rocks
[05:48] <nik_federmann> <waves goodbye to bill gates>
[05:48] <gbear14275> terli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/93051/
[05:48] <davenull> nik_federmann: Glad you like it.
[05:48] <terli> nik_federmann : thank you for trusting us with your time. Please, don't hesitate to contact us at any time.
[05:48] <terryx> is there anyone who know about wubi?
[05:48] <Flannel> !anyone | terryx
[05:49] <nik_federmann> dig that autoanswer system ;)
[05:49] <terli> gbear14275 : the script you have shown me appears to simply execute the xfce4-terminal command, and then once it finishes execute the ones below it.
[05:49] <terryx> i want to increase the size of file system in ubuntu(wubi)?
[05:49] <terli> the problem is probably when the terminal command never finishes.
[05:50] <gbear14275> terli: yes, I organized it line by line for easier understanding... i'm trying to setup a desktop terminal but for some reason when trying to run that script it isn't executing right
[05:50] <icepenguin> there is a space between #! /bin/bash
[05:50] <icepenguin> needs to be #!/bin/bash, does it not?
[05:50] <Flannel> terryx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545519
[05:50] <gbear14275> does the name have anything to do with it?  I named it desktopterminal.sh
[05:51] <terli> gbear14275
[05:51] <terli> try running the exact same code in a terminal
[05:51] <terli> see what happens will ya?
[05:51] <icepenguin> gbear14275: remove the space between #1! and /bin/bash and see if it runs.  also, you may have to chmod +x the desktopterminal.sh
[05:51] <gbear14275> terli: I apologize ahead of time... this is my first script attempt
[05:51] <terli> its ok
[05:51] <icepenguin> unless of course I am way off here on the space
[05:51] <terli> I've never written a script beforer
[05:51] <gbear14275> terli: ok will do
[05:51] <terli> only hacked about a million of them
[05:51] <gbear14275> terli: brb
[05:51] <terli> just kidding I once wrote one for xdesktopwaves
[05:51] <R1_> Hi, can someone kindly take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/93053/ for me and please  let me know how i can change the "Candidate" meaning I want to install from the second source  instead of the  first
[05:51] <terli> but that was way back in feisty
[05:52] <terryx> where is resizer root option?
[05:52] <Flannel> terryx: In LVPM I believe
[05:52] <davidbalbert> does anyone have experience running kgdb on 8.10?
[05:52] <terli> terryx: you may have some issues trying to expand it from itself.
[05:52] <chilli0> hello9 all
[05:53] <terli> terryx : you will probably have to insert a live cd with a partitioner and re-size it.
[05:53] <chilli0> does anyone have a link to a tutorial that shows me how to install ftp and lighttpd on ubuntu server?
[05:53] <terli> !server

[05:54] <terli> JeyEnk, please state your issue
[05:54] <Portmen> I setup ubuntu persistent on my new 8GB usb stick like i successfully did on a 1GB except I used a different name for the first partition. When i boot from the 8GB, it displays a small rectangle smiley face in the upper left corner without doing anything else. Does anyone know what this is and what it means?
[05:54] <Flannel> terli: Please don't speculate if you're not sure, you'll only confuse.
[05:54] <terli> er, and if your flooding, use pastebin.org
[05:54] <JayEnk> ya

[05:56] <R1_> Hi, can someone kindly take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/93053/ for me and please  let me know how i can change the "Candidate" meaning I want to install from the second source  instead of the  first
[05:56] <JayEnk> hmm
[05:56] <terli> JarEnk, this is a different machine correct?
[05:56] <JayEnk> i was seting but can't connect
[05:57] <JayEnk> i input this
[05:57] <terryx> its far difficult for me to do this procedure...is there any way to increase my ubuntu file system from xp??????
[05:57] <JayEnk> modprobe ipv6
[05:57] <terryx> i am totally new
[05:57] <terli> terryx : no.
[05:58] <JayEnk> ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote <IP_ADDRESS> local <IP_ADDRESS> ttl 255
[05:58] <error404notfound> I can use ubuntu cd to do a kickstart install?
[05:58] <terli> JayEnk, if you are trying to enable an IPV6 machine, I heartily recommend joining an IPv6 network
[05:58] <JayEnk> hmm
[05:58] <JayEnk> why
[05:58] <Flannel> terryx: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html  Scroll down to the "Resizing virtual disks using....", that's what you need to follow (once you've installed LVPM)
[05:58] <JayEnk> i can retrying
[05:59] <gbear14275> terli: great... so its executing although it doesn't seem to be working right...
[06:00] <terli> gbear14275: is it ever ending?
[06:00] <gbear14275> its still showing up on top of desktop icons and not appearing on other workspaces, etc... I don't think the last two lines are executing correctly
[06:00] <terli> so it finished the script completely?
[06:01] <gbear14275> I think so... although to be honest I wouldn't know if it wasn't....
[06:01] <terli> I said copy it into a terminal and run it
[06:01] <terli> when the terminal says $ again then it will have finished
[06:01] <gbear14275> ah... ok, yeah not ending
[06:02] <terli> ok I think, if my memory does not fail me...
[06:02] <terli> stinkin memory...
[06:02] <terli> try using & instead of &&
[06:02] <gbear14275> its bringing up another terminal window though... in the initial terminal window will it ever stop running while the 2nd terminal is open? terli?
[06:02] <terli> Using Cntrl-c will stop the script, no problems.
[06:03] <gbear14275> terli: When I use Ctrl-C it closes the opened terminal... although I think thats ok
[06:03] <terli> that's ok man, all we did was kill the script
[06:03] <terli> now change the script
[06:03] <terli> replace && with just &
[06:03] <gbear14275> terli: are you familiar with the wmctrl program at all?
[06:03] <terli> not in the slightest.
[06:05] <gbear14275> ok changed and tried again... although still not ending
[06:05] <Flannel> terli, gbear14275: & won't work.  You don't want a bitwise and
[06:05] <terli> flannel
[06:05] <terli> would you please instruct us in the proper command
[06:05] <terli> he needs to execute a command, then execute another without waiting for the first to stop
[06:06] <Flannel> terli: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation
[06:06] <Flannel> gbear14275: You want command1 & (newline) command2
[06:07] <terli> so I'm confused
[06:07] <billybigrigger> how do i get conky to run but not in a window?
[06:07] <billybigrigger> i just want it to sit on my desktop background
[06:07] <Flannel> terli: but I'm not sure that works in bash scripts
[06:07] <terli> "command1 & command2" does something different than " command1 & /n command2"
[06:07] <ultrav1olet> Does debian/ubuntu have something like redhat's /etc/init.d/iptables start|stop? I want to MANUALLY configure iptable rules without any semibroken automatic managers
[06:07] <gbear14275> billybigrigger: trying to figure out that myself  too... try this walkthrough although i'm not through the terminal part myself... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709217
[06:08] <ultrav1olet> I need no automatic configuration, just simple loading of manually written iptable rules
[06:08] <CaptainMorgan> can someone help me with a boot problem? I got three disks, two of which are in a raid 1 setup, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, that runs Linux, Then I got a fresh Windows installation on /dev/sdc, and my grub selection looks like so: title		Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionaL, root		(hd2,0), savedefault, makeactive, chainloader	+1, all on separate lines... I've tried hd1,0 and h2,1 both to no avail... with the current h2,0 at least the
[06:08] <CaptainMorgan> option goes to "Starting up..." but then it hangs.... any ideas?
[06:08] <nomad77> billybigrigger: read then use  gedit ~/.conkyrc
[06:08] <terli> !iptables
[06:09] <nomad77> ultrav1olet: sudo iptables -F to clear chains
[06:09] <billybigrigger> nomad77, read what? im reading the conky docs right now
[06:09] <Flannel> gbear14275: Your best bet may be #bash  they should be able to get you set up
[06:09] <ultrav1olet> nomad77: damn
[06:09] <ultrav1olet> is there a script for doing that?
[06:09] <ultrav1olet> like iptables start|stop?
[06:10] <Mike_92> I've updated to Intrepid and I'm not too fond of what has changed to the theme Glossy, is there a way I can revert back to what it used to look like?
[06:10] <billybigrigger> nomad77, nevermind, line 8 of .conkyrc background no
[06:10] <billybigrigger> nomad77, hah
[06:10] <ultrav1olet> how come such a popular distro lacks normal and absolutely usual script?
[06:10] <gbear14275> Flannel: alright... I will try to do it there... as an alternative do you know any walkthroughs to put a terminal onto the desktop
[06:10] <nomad77> ultrav1olet:  they run once set rules then stop so -F or --flush is req'd to clear current ruleset
[06:11] <klaxian> merry christmas :)  i wonder if anyone can help me.  many data DVDs that I have burned cannot seem to be mounted in Ubuntu
[06:11] <klaxian> any ideas?
[06:11] <klaxian> i searched google and found others with this problem, but no solutions
[06:11] <terli> gbear14275 I strongly recommend introducing your issue in #xfce and #bash(#bash first).
[06:12] <klaxian> i have tried several brands of DVDs and different burning options without success
[06:12] <klaxian> other devices (ie. PS3) recognize the discs fine, but Ubuntu will not
[06:12] <gbear14275> terli: alright... will do, thanks for the pointers
[06:12] <usser> ultrav1olet, ubuntu uses ufw so you might want to look into that
[06:13] <n8tuser> what is another way to  restart gdm or X?  the desktop is frozen, no keyboard or mouse input taken, top shows X uses 98.9% cpu,  im ssh'd in, and tried gdm restart to no avail
[06:13] <jim_p> hello people
[06:13] <davenull> n8tuser: You have to be root to kill it.
[06:13] <terli> klaxian : you are burning disks in machine A , which may or may not have ubuntu, and attempting to mount them in Machine B, that does?
[06:13] <klaxian> terli: no, the discs were burned with ubuntu and i'm trying to mount them with ubuntu
[06:13] <usser> ultrav1olet, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ufw-uncomplicated-firewall-for-ubuntu-hardy.html
[06:13] <n8tuser> davenull-> i was root after i ssd in, i gdm restart not stop
[06:13] <jim_p> where does amsn store its settings?
[06:13] <n8tuser> davenull-> i was root after i sshd in, i gdm restart not stop
[06:14] <klaxian> terli: same computer
[06:14] <linuxguymarshall> hey, anyone know of a way to lock down a hard drive's partitions? not just block them from being edited in the local OS but to prevent them from being changed at all
[06:14] <terli> klaxian, so a drive burned the disk, but it cannot mount said disk for reading
[06:14] <jim_p> linuxguymarshall, crypto
[06:14] <klaxian> terli: yes.  i have also tried to mount the same disc in several computers running ubuntu (not just the burning computer) and i get the same problem each time.  devices not running ubuntu seem to mount the disc fine
[06:15] <terli> klaxian , these are data cd's or dvds? please specify.
[06:15] <n8tuser> shoot, not even dbus restart will kill Xorg, its taking up 99.1% now
[06:15] <klaxian> terli: data DVDs
[06:15] <jim_p> linuxguymarshall, crypto wont prevent changes if the partitions are mounted though
[06:15] <linuxguymarshall> jim_p: That will make it impossible to edit it from ANYWHERE? Even like an external flash drive with another OS on it?
[06:15] <klaxian> terli: CDs do not have this problem
[06:15] <terli> klaxian , please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776480, but also remember that ubuntu needs libdvdcss2 to read movies from dvd
[06:16] <jim_p> linuxguymarshall, yea i guess so. that is what crypto does
[06:16] <klaxian> terli: i have libdvdcss2 installed, but i will read the thread as you suggest.  i am burning data, not movies
[06:16] <linuxguymarshall> jim_p:thanks
[06:16] <jim_p> linuxguymarshall, keep in mind that the drive can be formatted altogether and lose everything in case of eg being stolen
[06:16] <terli> klaxian, I could go with gut instincts and tell you to try burning them in k3b
[06:17] <jim_p> where does amsn store its settings?
[06:17] <CaptainMorgan> can someone help me with a boot problem? I got three disks, two of which are in a raid 1 setup, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, that runs Linux, Then I got a fresh Windows installation on /dev/sdc, and my grub selection looks like so: title		Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionaL, root		(hd2,0), savedefault, makeactive, chainloader	+1, all on separate lines... I've tried hd1,0 and h2,1 both to no avail... with the current h2,0 at least the
[06:17] <CaptainMorgan> option goes to "Starting up..." but then it hangs.... any ideas?
[06:17] <klaxian> terli: i have tried several programs including nautilus-cd-burner and brasero.  i think they all use cdrecord anyway, don't they?
[06:17] <moses> question: xubuntu good for first time user on a bad laptop
[06:17] <terli> jim_p : it stores them in /home/USERNAME/.programname/
[06:18] <klaxian> terli: it is definitely a mounting problem
[06:18] <moses> also: i want to be picky about the kernal
[06:18] <terli> klaxian, as a firm gnome user, I still say try k3b.
[06:18] <moses> is that possible with ubuntu?
[06:18] <jim_p> terli, i dont se a .amsn folder in my home
[06:18] <linuxguymarshall> jim_p:Yeah. I am attempting to make a "game console" of sorts and wanted to make sure that my friends didnt end up installing WinBlows or OSX-x86 on it for ****s and giggles
[06:18] <Flannel> moses: Define picky
[06:18] <moses> Flannel: i dont want gnome to rape my resources
[06:18] <terli> jim_p: that is because it is hiddden.
[06:18] <klaxian> terli: if the dvds work in non-ubuntu devices, how can it be a burning problem?
[06:18] <shiMMer> how can i test my html writing??what bess application for me??
[06:18] <Flannel> moses: That has nothing to do with the kernel
[06:18] <terli> klaxian : your issue could have to do with something I know nothing about.
[06:18] <klaxian> terli: seems to be an issue just with intrepid too
[06:19] <jim_p> linuxguymarshall, game console on linux? give me a sec to solve my amsn thing and i will be back
[06:19] <moses> Flannel: well what is killing my resources on my current ver of xubuntu?
[06:19] <linuxguymarshall> jim_p:ok
[06:19] <n8tuser> hmmm...just learn  gdm restart does not kill X,
[06:19] <jim_p> terli, i know its hidden! even with hidden files and folders visible, its not there
[06:19] <terli> klaxian, It is probable that something went really wrong inside ubuntu. please file a bug report on launchpad and include the device name and a copy of mount.
[06:19] <Flannel> moses: I have no idea.  But the kernel won't have anything to do with gnome, or whatever else, using your resources
[06:19] <moses> ok im going to install ubuntu because my friends use it
[06:19] <klaxian> will do.  i see some similar bugs already filed so perhaps someone has already reported this
[06:20] <moses> i hope i can learn by using it
[06:20] <moses> im currently tring to install fedora
[06:20] <moses> its much to heavy
[06:20] <moses> for this laptop
[06:20] <terli> btw klaxian, I have intrepid and can burn/read disks fine
[06:20] <jim_p> linuxguymarshall, one thing i would lock is the bios and bootability from cds and the like
[06:20] <n8tuser> moses as compared to which?
[06:20] <moses> xubuntu?
[06:20] <klaxian> terli: yah it's interesting.  seems like this just started recently, but it affects all my intrepid machines
[06:20] <linuxguymarshall> jim_p:Yes, that is obvious
[06:20] <moses> is that assumption correct?
[06:20] <n8tuser> moses i dont think so
[06:20] <jim_p> can some amsn user verify that he/she has a .amsn folder?
[06:20] <klaxian> terli: do u have proposed enabled?
[06:20] <moses> fedora is lighter?
[06:21] <n8tuser> moses no, they are about equal
[06:21] <jim_p> moses, no, they are equal
[06:21] <moses> well fedora can barley load onto my ram
[06:21] <moses> for the livecd
[06:21] <moses> its quite annoying
[06:21] <jim_p> moses, how much ram are you on?
[06:21] <terli> moses, get an alternate install disk.
[06:21] <terli> !alt
[06:22] <krishmish> can someone simulate yugma webconference with me?
[06:22] <n8tuser> jim_p-> yes there is .amsn/
[06:22] <krishmish> !yugma
[06:22] <moses> can i get the light for xubuntu?
[06:22] <jim_p> the light?
[06:23] <moses> err
[06:23] <moses> alternate
[06:23] <moses> im sorr
[06:23] <moses> y
[06:23] <klaxian> terli: it might be a kernel config issue...i'm going to try an older kernel to test
[06:23] <FloodBot1> moses: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:23] <moses> lol
[06:23] <jim_p> moses, please explain me why do you want the live enviroment to load to ram first?
[06:23] <klaxian> terlmann: thanks for your help :)
[06:23] <moses> ok well im probably wrong
[06:23] <moses> im loading the livecd for fedora
[06:23] <Flannel> moses: Yes. http://www.xubuntu.org/get  the mirrors will have both the Desktop and the alternate CD
[06:23] <moses> its currently running quite slow, also i do not know why
[06:24] <jim_p> moses, how much ram is on that pc you are on?
[06:24] <moses> i think its 512
[06:24] <moses> but im not sure
[06:24] <moses> maybe 128
[06:25] <jim_p> moses, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
[06:25] <moses> also i think the cdrom drive is exceptionally slow
[06:25] <shiMMer> how can i test my html writing??what bess application for me??
[06:26] <krishmish> shimmer ...try bluefish
[06:26] <krishmish> or dreamweaver
[06:27] <CaptainMorgan> can someone help me with a boot problem? I got three disks, two of which are in a raid 1 setup, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, that runs Linux, Then I got a fresh Windows installation on /dev/sdc, and my grub selection looks like so: title		Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionaL, root		(hd2,0), savedefault, makeactive, chainloader	+1, all on separate lines... I've tried hd1,0 and h2,1 both to no avail... with the current h2,0 at least the
[06:27] <CaptainMorgan> option goes to "Starting up..." but then it hangs.... any ideas?
[06:27] <Yasumoto> shiMMer: also, just plain gedit and firefox works pretty well
[06:27] <jim_p> moses, what did that command return?
[06:28] <Yasumoto> shiMMer: save the file onto your desktop and open it with firefox
[06:28] <moses> lol
[06:28] <moses> im a failure
[06:28] <moses> i forgot my login
[06:28] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: have you tried "sudo update-grub" ?
[06:28] <moses> for xubuntu
[06:28] <FloodBot1> moses: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:28] <Flannel> moses: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation
[06:28] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: (I think that's the command)
[06:29] <Flannel> moses: Is this an installed system?
[06:29] <moses> currently that is correct
[06:30] <twilight> heeo
[06:30] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, now why do I need to update it that way?
[06:30] <twilight> hello*
[06:30] <R1_> !tty
[06:30] <R1_> tty!
[06:30] <Flannel> moses: Alright, reboot, and at the GRUB menu (right after the POST screen, you may need to hit escape to see it) choose the recovery console.  From there, you can cat /etc/passwd, and take a look at the usernames on the system.  Type "init 2" to finish the boot process and get back to the login screen
[06:30] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, update-grub regenerates menu.lst... I'm not sure that's what I want...
[06:30] <CaptainMorgan> is it?
[06:31] <R1_> exit
[06:32] <moses> Flannel: there are several options; resume, repair, root, xfix
[06:32] <jim_p> how can i find the filesystem of a drive from the terminal?
[06:33] <Flannel> moses: Are you booting to the liveCD?
[06:33] <usser> jim_p, sudo fdisk -l
[06:33] <\Kira> Im trying to install a deb program, and it requires a package that I dont have. If I try to install that package via apt get, it returns a package not found error. Saying that the package points to another package. If i try to install that package, I get a error saying its up-to-date. Any help?
[06:33] <tonsofpc1> using idjc, selecting the mp3 option shows "MP3 streaming is unavailable" - how do I enable it?
[06:33] <moses> nope i have a previously older version of ubuntu, should i make a livecd of xubuntu? I really want to make an alternate cd for xubuntu
[06:34] <jim_p> usser, i thought of that too :( i was thinking of a more specific solution that will tell me about THAT drive and not all drives on my system
[06:34] <Flannel> moses: You're booting ot that CD though?
[06:34] <jim_p> usser, like a guided fdisk -l
[06:34] <moses> i am not this is a fully installed version of xubuntu
[06:34] <jim_p> moses, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
[06:34] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: Do you think you've made any changes to the menu.lst file?
[06:34] <Flannel> moses: You get those options at the grub menu?
[06:35] <jim_p> moses, if you dont know how much memory you have, telling you what to use is pointless
[06:35] <puppiesRcute> hello all any one got any info i installed ubuntu over again as my main drive and my older ubuntu install wont come back on any way to recover my old stuff from that partition
[06:35] <moses> no what i did was, i went to recovery mode boot for the standard ver of xubuntu
[06:35] <wasabi__> is there a gui for rdesktop?
[06:35] <wasabi__> or any type of front end?
[06:35] <puppiesRcute> im blond so any help would be kewl
[06:35] <jim_p> wasabi__, i think tha latest gnome has one
[06:35] <Odd-rationale> !info tsclient
[06:35] <usser> jim_p, well i mean how many drives do you have. its usually not hard to figure out whats what
[06:35] <Odd-rationale> wasabi__: ^
[06:36] <wasabi__> really
[06:36] <Flannel> puppiesRcute: Did you install it on the same partitions?
[06:36] <wasabi__> i only see rdesktop commandline. how do i launch the gui?
[06:36] <\Kira> Im trying to install a deb program, and it requires a package that I dont have. If I try to install that package via apt get, it returns a package not found error. Saying that the package points to another package. If i try to install that package, I get a error saying its up-to-date. Any help?
[06:36] <bullgard4> Where is Grub physically stored on my hard disk?
[06:36] <puppiesRcute> i got a 190 gig and my other is on a 80 installed hardy heron on my 190 and my other will not come back on
[06:36] <jim_p> usser, i have 2 and i know exactly what to look for. how will i instruct my friend from the phone though to look up in his?
[06:36] <Flannel> moses: Right.  You want to choose the recovery mode kernel at the GRUB menu
[06:36] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, of course, as my original question says
[06:36] <jim_p> bullgard4, on the mbr of the disk
[06:36] <zaher> #linuxac
[06:36] <CaptainMorgan> how else can I have it point to the new disk?
[06:37] <jim_p> \Kira, what do you try to install?
[06:37] <Odd-rationale> wasabi__: try tsclient
[06:37] <wasabi__> okay
[06:37] <wasabi__> will do
[06:37] <wasabi__> thanks
[06:37] <usser> jim_p, oh. just get him to install ssh server and look for yourself :)
[06:37] <jim_p> wasabi__, grdesktop is the gnome app
[06:37] <\Kira> Odd-rationale: im trying to install qjoypad, its a graphical end to joy2key
[06:37] <jim_p> usser, let him clean himself up when i cant
[06:37] <usser> jim_p, pastebinit also helps
[06:38] <\Kira> Odd-rationale: it requires the libqt2c102 package, though
[06:38] <\Kira> Odd-rationale: sorry, that was the libqt2c102-mt package
[06:38] <Odd-rationale> \Kira: are you trying to talk to me? or jim_p ?
[06:38] <\Kira> Odd-rationale: opps.... lol. sorry
[06:38] <Odd-rationale> np :D
[06:38] <moses> Flannel: when i boot to that recovery it gives me those options
[06:39] <puppiesRcute> heard from a few people to remake a bootloader for the other but confused on that big time
[06:39] <\Kira> jim_p: im trying to install qjoypad, its a graphical end to joy2key
[06:39] <\Kira> jim_p: it requires the libqt2c102-mt package, though
[06:40] <BinaryBoy001> Hey, I'm having a hard time playing back songs that i ripped from CD to computer.  When i use songbird to play back a song,,a message comes up stating that there is something wrong with the stream.  What can I do?
[06:40] <bullgard4> jim_p: I think your answer is wrong. It is not only in the master boot record of the disk. Because it is larger than the master boot record.
[06:41] <puppiesRcute> any way to recover any thing from my new install and just browse my other partitions maybe
[06:41] <jim_p> bullgard4, not the whole grub fits in the mbr, i know. but the stage one does
[06:42] <ramjedi> I need help configuring Sound Juicer to rip in mp3 format. The mp3 format appears in the edit format box but not in the output format drop menu. How do I get it into the drop down menu?
[06:42] <jim_p> \Kira, can you please show me its url?
[06:42] <wasabi__> sweet
[06:42] <wasabi__> thanks guys
[06:42] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, any ideas?
[06:42] <bullgard4> jim_p: But my question was not: "Where is stage 1 physically stored on my hard disk?" My question was: "Where is Grub physically stored on my hard disk?"
[06:42] <\Kira> jim_p: http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/
[06:42] <CaptainMorgan> can someone help me with a boot problem? I got three disks, two of which are in a raid 1 setup, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, that runs Linux, Then I got a fresh Windows installation on /dev/sdc, and my grub selection looks like so: title		Microsoft Windows XP ProfessionaL, root		(hd2,0), savedefault, makeactive, chainloader	+1, all on separate lines... I've tried hd1,0 and h2,1 both to no avail... with the current h2,0 at least the
[06:42] <CaptainMorgan> option goes to "Starting up..." but then it hangs.... any ideas?
[06:43] <jim_p> ramjedi, do you have the relevant plugins for the job?
[06:43] <puppiesRcute> :-( guess no one has any info for me
[06:43] <terryx> ok guys...i think i got the problem...when i mount any usb drive or in built other hdd drive in ubuntu then my computer goes logout or freeze...why this happens?
[06:44] <jim_p> \Kira, give me a sec
[06:44] <moses> jim_p: 192mb of ram
[06:44] <\Kira> I cant run apt-get, it says the device is busy, and that someone else is using it. Im the only user logged on, and Im not running it. How can I fix this?
[06:44] <ramjedi> Yes. The gStreamer plug ins have been installed.
[06:44] <puppiesRcute> your usb reader is malfunctioning and or the install of ubuntu wasnt up to par with the usb install had it happen to me got another usb key and or bought another usb driver and installed it worked fine with puppy an ubuntu
[06:45] <\Kira> nvm, I found and killed the proccess :)
[06:45] <jim_p> moses, get xubuntu cd or some other xfce based distro. you can always use a *box based distro but you have to be really adept with configuration files
[06:45] <wasabi__> do you guys know if hamachi acts the same as a normal vpn client where the connection is tunneled? i am using it for work but i don't want my connection at home to be bridged with work's.
[06:45] <wasabi__> i guess i should say bridged instead of tunnel*
[06:46] <jim_p> \Kira, close synaptic while using apt-get
[06:46] <moses> xubuntu it is, although im going to need help with the alt install disk, will i be able to format the entire drive?
[06:46] <infinity_> wasabi__: i dont think hamachi bridges, though i'm not sure
[06:46] <\Kira> jim_p: I did, but for some reason root was running a apt-get proccess, I just ended it
[06:46] <jim_p> moses, yea. or part of it
[06:46] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: save your old menu.lst as a backup, then run update-grub

[06:47] <wasabi__> infinity_: if it's tunneled then my connection would be slower right?
[06:47] <LSN> I'm french, but ther isn't anybody on the french canal
[06:47] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: that's helped me a few times before. I don't think I've set up software raid in linux before, what are you using to do that? was that default with the installer?
[06:47] <\Kira> jim_p: yep, of course :)
[06:47] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: sorry to be slow btw, I'm multitasking :-/
[06:48] <infinity_> wasabi__: sorry. you're not making sense.
[06:48] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, raid was installed upon initial system install by alternative disk
[06:48] <LSN> So I need some help with a graphic tablet, which was okay yesterday, but today... ><
[06:48] <jim_p> \Kira, what was the name of that dependency again?
[06:48] <CaptainMorgan> alright I'll try that and see what happens, thank you Yasumoto

[06:49] <\Kira> jim_p: libqt3c102-mt
[06:49] <wasabi__> infinity_: sorry. what i meant to say that if my home connection is bridged with my work's then the bandwidth speed would be lower when i try to download at home right? i'm trying to figure out how to tell whether it's bridging or not
[06:49] <moDumass> streenz, im dloading a torrent now, eee 8.04
[06:49] <ramjedi> jim-p, any idea what I am doing wrong? Or is it a glitch in the software?
[06:50] <scriptx> anyway to dictate what video output plugin firefox uses when playing a flash video, like youtube?
[06:50] <infinity_> wasabi__: lol. sounds like you don't know how to describe what you want to.
[06:50] <jim_p> \Kira, try installing this                     libqt3-mt
[06:50] <\Kira> jim_p: okay, one sec
[06:50] <infinity_> wasabi__: try traceroute. that will tell you how you're getting access to something
[06:50] <wasabi__> infinity_: yea. i'm not very familiar with this
[06:50] <wasabi__> ahh
[06:50] <wasabi__> thanks
[06:50] <\Kira> jim_p: its already at its latest version
[06:51] <jim_p> grrrr

[06:52] <wasabi__> infinity_: cool! the connection is not bridged
[06:53] <wasabi__> infinity_: thanks for the help
[06:53] <\Kira> jim_p: any other ideas? Im looking, but not finding anything :(

[06:59] <vpew> can someone tell me how to find out someones IP in pidgin?
[07:00] <vpew> can someone tell me how to find out someones IP in pidgin through a link?
[07:00] <\Kira> jim_p: I think I found a method of installing it, its not the method I was hoping to use, but it looks like it should work. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=147918, what do you think?
[07:00] <jim_p> \Kira, compiling it from source?
[07:00]  * JayEnk wes lah nek ra ngerteni wong lagi mumet ra papa
[07:00] <jim_p> \Kira, no, its that alien thing
[07:00]  * JayEnk tapi aja kaya kue carane

[07:01] <nilson> Hello - I am trying to install a Metacity theme ("Blended") and when I drag and drop it into the Theme UI, it says that is has been installed, but does not show up
[07:01] <nilson> I verified that the appropriate directories are placed in .themes
[07:01] <jim_p> \Kira, better compile it from source. i dont trust alien
[07:01] <moazamraja> i'm having the weirdest problem...
[07:01] <moazamraja> same hardware, comparing java performance...Ubuntu is a good deal faster than CentOS 5
[07:01] <\Kira> jim_p: I tried, but it returns errors with a command missing. qmake
[07:01] <jim_p> nilson, exract the tar file on the desktop and move it to .themes
[07:01] <moazamraja> same Java VM
[07:01] <EEEPCFTW> hello
[07:01] <moazamraja> but the thing is, they use the same kernel...
[07:02] <moazamraja> so why would performance be so different?
[07:02] <EEEPCFTW> does anyone know if there is like a ipod/sync software app for linux? ubuntu
[07:02] <jim_p> \Kira, then use the alien :(
[07:02] <moazamraja> main difference is in network socket and message passing performance
[07:02] <\Kira> jim_p: this appears to be the only method, thanks for you help, anyways :)
[07:02] <EEEPCFTW> i have ipod touch and eee pc can u get software to sync?

[07:03] <jim_p> EEEPCFTW, and songbird
[07:03] <Elevator_Hazard> In GParted, how do I make a partition "active"? I installed ubuntu, then I tried installing vista on a partition I set up but it doesn't meet criteria, I think this is the answer.
[07:03] <onnyx> vpew, just tell them to go to http://whatsmyip.org and paste the result
[07:04] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, I had some time to review update-grub... what it does is *only* searches /boot for vm* files, thus it's only useful for linux... I removed my menu.lst, and then ran it, after its creation it just output the original menu.lst, *without* any windows option
[07:04] <nilson> jim_p, still does not show up
[07:04] <nilson> confusing.
[07:04] <\Kira> the apt-get command keeps telling me a media change has occured and I have to insert my install disk. This reminds me alot of windows :( Whats going on?
[07:05] <jim_p> \Kira, open sources.list and remove the cdrom line
[07:05] <jim_p> \Kira, its the very first on the top
[07:05] <\Kira> jim_p: were is sources.list?
[07:05] <jim_p> \Kira, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:06] <\Kira> jim_p: gedit not found, I can just use nano, right?
[07:06] <jim_p> \Kira, yea
[07:06] <\Kira> jim_p: cool thanks
[07:07] <revilodraw> i want to send files from my laptop to my phone (dell inspiron to nokia n96) via wifi. lets say i dont have bluetooth, and i dont have a wireless router. is this possible (ad hoc network?)
[07:08] <EEEPCFTW> Hello,
[07:08] <raphre> hello, can some one show me how to remove a .deb package i installed  with gdebi package installer?
[07:08] <IchigoMorino> How do you add application file type associations in Firefox under Edit > Preferences > Applications?
[07:08] <EEEPCFTW> Do you know what command/s to type to get a .RAR Extractor? for EEE PC or Linux?
[07:09] <aeporwi> what's the url for the video contest I'am a ubuntu?
[07:09] <IchigoMorino> EEEPCFTW: 'sudo apt-get install unrar'
[07:10] <Kira> When my eth0 is configured by DHCP, by default the /etc/resolv.conf is modified to use the DNS information supplied by the DHCP server, right?
[07:10] <justizin> Kira: roughly speaking, yes.
[07:11] <IchigoMorino> EEEPCFTW: If you install that you can unrar things from the command line, and most graphical extractors like the one that comes with Ubuntu will then work with rar to.
[07:11] <Kira> justizin: so how do I prevent the /etc/resolv.conf from losing extra dns that I put in?
[07:11] <kad41> hi, newb question, but how do i uninstall something? i dont think it even installed cause i run it from my downloads directory. can i just delete it?
[07:11] <EEEPCFTW> Ok thanks :)
[07:12] <IchigoMorino> kad41: What is "it"?
[07:12] <justizin> Kira: edit /etc/network/interfaces and control dns-nameservers config
[07:12] <kad41> its called twonkymedia server
[07:13] <dickinch15> im new here so how are yall doing and i love ubuntu i just love it lol
[07:13] <justizin> resolvconf does the rest of the work purportedly
[07:13] <IchigoMorino> kad41: What type of file is it and how did you "try to install it"?
[07:13] <aeporwi> lol
[07:13] <shatly> any one here bridgied a wired eathernet network to a wireless in ubuntu (if on the eeepc that would be even better)
[07:13] <aeporwi> why does ubuntu 8.10 suck for audio?
[07:13] <Flannel> !ics | shatly
[07:13] <shatly> i seen to not be able to get my wireless transmiting, and when i do i have not wired eathernet
[07:14] <bazhang> aeporwi, do you have a support question
[07:14] <shatly> i have tryed that
[07:14] <kad41> its an executable that i run in the command line
[07:14] <shatly> i eather get my wireless brodcasting, or my wired working
[07:14] <imaginent> :
[07:15] <IchigoMorino> How do you add application file type associations in Firefox under Edit > Preferences > Applications?
[07:15] <CaptainMorgan> Yasumoto, do you think not having anything in /etc/fstab might have something to do with this?? I figure it might but previously I thought no because the system never gets to that point... but since ubuntu is identifying it as /dev/sdc1 then why not edit fstab?
[07:15] <onnyx> shatly, do you connect to the same network wired and wireless?
[07:16] <shatly> onnyx: no, the problum is we have one wire for 3 computers, and i have no ieda about vista, so i am trying to do it on my laptop
[07:16] <jim_p> any ideas on how to make this work    Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:c21a Logitech, Inc. Precision Gamepad
[07:16] <shatly> the simple sloution would just get a proper router, but this is only for a week
[07:16] <kad41> are you asking me?
[07:17] <CaptainMorgan> actually.. no.. I don't think that will make a difference...
[07:17] <CaptainMorgan> at boot, the disks are identified by (hd*,*) when it gets to linux then they're named according to /dev
[07:17] <onnyx> shatly, so you're trying to have your notebook run as an access point?
[07:18] <shatly> onnyx: yes, because it is not vista, and proaly the only one that is going to stay on and not mobal for the most amount of time
[07:21] <onnyx> shatly, my guess is you'll have do disable networkmanager. it likes to interfere with anything but the machine as a client
[07:21] <shatly> i did
[07:22] <Yasumoto> CaptainMorgan: yeah, that's probably not a good thing
[07:22] <onnyx> shatly, if you went after this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing), where did it go wrong?
[07:23] <shatly> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless
[07:23] <shatly> is what i went with
[07:23] <Kira> justizin: why don't I see dns-nameservers in the man page of interfaces?
[07:23] <shatly> and getting the outher computers connecting to the wifi
[07:24] <shatly> seeing the network
[07:25] <n8tuser> shatly-> i came in a bit late, what are you trying to achieve?
[07:25] <shatly> right now all i want is to creat a ad-hoc network over wifi, and have wired eathernet still work
[07:26] <n8tuser> shatly you have one dsl/router/AP  ? and how many clients?
[07:26] <shatly> i have a Atheros based wifi card
[07:26] <shatly> the problum is 3 laptops and only one wired connection
[07:26] <shatly> the outher two are *shivers* vista
[07:27] <shatly> so i am trying to get it to work on my EEEpc (701) and shae
[07:27] <n8tuser> shatly-> the router is also an access point right?
[07:27] <shatly> this is just from the dsl modem
[07:27] <onnyx> n8tuser, he's trying to share wired internet over his laptop's wireless as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless
[07:27] <moses> how do i install a bootloader using gparted?
[07:27] <onnyx> shatly, what happens to your eth0 when the wireless clients are connected?
[07:28] <n8tuser> onnyx -> listen to my questions okay?
[07:28] <n8tuser> shatly-> the router is also an access point right?
[07:28] <shatly> i want dsl modem ----> eth0 ---> wifi0 ------> outher lappy's via ad-hoc netork
[07:28] <shatly> i never got cliants to connect all the way to my wifi
[07:29] <n8tuser> shatly -> once more, is the dsl modem/router is also an accessp point?
[07:29] <shatly> i only have done wired or wifi in the pst
[07:29] <shatly> past
[07:29] <shatly> never ad-hoc on my end
[07:30] <onnyx> n8tuser, i'm listening...
[07:31] <n8tuser> shatly are you paying attention to my questions?
[07:31] <shatly> also if we do somthing to bring my internet down temparaly, i am going into irc via a server, so i will still be here
[07:31] <yaris123456789> hey guys i think i bought a template from a website, and i found exact same on monstertemplates....i got scammed what to do now ?
[07:31] <shatly> there is no router
[07:31] <shatly> i am trying to force lappy to be router
[07:31] <bazhang> !ot > yaris123456789
[07:32] <n8tuser> shatly -> if i understood you, its just a plain straight dsl modem no other router functionalities?
[07:32] <n8tuser> !who | shatly
[07:32] <shatly> yes
[07:32] <shatly> n8tuser: yes
[07:33] <n8tuser> shatly -> how many ethernet nic cards do you have in your laptop?
[07:33] <imaginent> !tab
[07:33] <shatly> n8tuser: it is a eeepc, so i have one wifi, and one wired port
[07:34] <revilodraw> is it possible to send files from laptop to phone (inspiron to n96) over wifi?
[07:35] <CaptainMorgan> how can I list disks in hd*,* format?
[07:35] <n8tuser> shatly -> no other hubs or stand alone router you may have around?
[07:35] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: take /dev/sdXY and it becomes hd(X-1),(Y-1)
[07:36] <shatly>  n8tuser about 4,000 miles away
[07:37] <shatly> n8tuser: my lan party group has a switching capasity of 800 computers
[07:37] <n8tuser> shatly then you have to make that wifi work in adhoc mode to have the other two vista clients connect to it in ad-hoc mode
[07:37] <revilodraw>  is it possible to send files from laptop to phone (inspiron to n96) over wifi?
[07:37]  * shatly realises how much easier it is to network 500 wired ports then to create a simple ad-hoc network
[07:38] <NicEXE> where can I find the configuration file for compiz?
[07:38] <n8tuser> shatly -> is that close by you can use, whatever that lan party group you are referring to?
[07:38] <shatly> n8tuser: the problum is when i go into adhoc mode is that i can not use eth0 for some reasion
[07:38] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, what is the x-1 mean? cuz I have hd0,0 in grub listed and that matches up with /dev/sda1 yet, when I tried to tell grub to boot hd2,0 it hung with "Starting up...", based on your explanation, h2,0 should match /dev/sdc1
[07:38] <nabsha> anyone doing urdu translations here?
[07:38] <shatly> n8tuser: that is the 4k miles away i am refering to
[07:39] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: That's correct.
[07:39] <shatly> n8tuser: i am in the central us, my routers are in alaska
[07:39] <shiMMer> how can i get fluxbox??
[07:39] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, any idea why it's hanging then?
[07:39] <bazhang> https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ nabsha
[07:39] <shatly> (and way worse weather here)
[07:39] <n8tuser> shatly and no computer store nearby you to purchase a soho type of router?
[07:39] <shatly> n8tuser: i am too cheap
[07:39] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: is your root set up properly? Is the kernel there? etc?
[07:40] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, this is what I'm trying to boot: http://pastebin.com/m9976247
[07:40] <shatly> n8tuser: it is for less then a week, so 50 for a router will not work for me
[07:40] <NicEXE> where can I find the configuration file for compiz?
[07:40] <n8tuser> shatly then in that case, you have to keep on hacking on that wifi card you have to put it in adhoc mode
[07:40] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: ah.  If you change your BIOS to boot to that partition first, does windows boot fine?
[07:41] <Natanaiel> does ubuntu use binary packages?
[07:41] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: You can also try making it rootnoverify (hd2,0) instead of root (hd2,0)
[07:41] <Flannel> Natanaiel: Yes
[07:41] <shiMMer> how can i get fluxbox??
[07:41] <zixelex> I want install ubuntu from fllopy disk ?
[07:41] <CaptainMorgan> and it hangs with "Starting up..." my root is two disks, both in raid 1 through the alternative installation... the third disk is a fresh Windows installation that boots fine by itself
[07:41] <CaptainMorgan> I supposed I'll try rootnoverify.. but I'm not confident... you going to be around a for a bit?
[07:41] <n8tuser> shatly are you even able to put your wifi card in adhoc mode and have at least one vista to connect to it?
[07:42] <shatly> n8tuser: i think
[07:42] <shiMMer> i use my fluxbox session.i open nautilus,then it automatically return to my gnome.it weird...what can i do??
[07:42] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: Try changing it to hd1,0.  You can edit the lines from GRUB itself by hitting 'e' at the menu entry.  Makes it quick to try stuff
[07:42] <Natanaiel> but what's the diffrence between binary packages az deb packages & ubuntu use which of them?
[07:42] <zixelex> I'm have ibm thinkpad 600
[07:42] <shatly> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[07:42] <shatly> n8tuser: ^^^
[07:42] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, I tried h1,0 and it reported back error 13, bad boot sequence, or similar.. h2,0 is the best result so far
[07:42] <shatly> look down near the bootom at Atheros based cards
[07:42] <shatly> that is what i have
[07:42] <Flannel> Natanaiel: Ubuntu uses deb packages.  Which is the debian package format, although Ubuntu debs aren't necessarily binary compatable with debian packages
[07:42] <NicEXE> where can I find the configuration file for compiz?
[07:42] <n8tuser> shatly -> were you able to have the vista connect to it?
[07:43] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, oh ok.. -e will come in handy, thanks!
[07:43] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: We could try mapping, it may be that windows is having an issue not being on sda1 (which isn't uncommon)
[07:43] <shatly> n8tuser: it was able to see it but i have a feeling that they were typing in the wrong pass the one time
[07:43] <shatly> but i was trying to get my wired reenabled that one time
[07:43] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: map (hd0) (hd2)\nmap (hd2) (hd0)
[07:44] <n8tuser> shatly having two nic cards, they are independent of each other
[07:44] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, isn't that just an issue of which sata cables are where? logically and physically, the first two disks are wired to the first two sata slots.. with the third sata cable on the third disk matching the third slot..
[07:44] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: No.  Windows throws a hissy fit if it's not primary master
[07:44] <CaptainMorgan> so if I put the third disk on the mobo's first sata slot, shouldn't that pick it up as sda 1?
[07:44] <shatly> n8tuser: as far as i know my wireless is a diffrent card then my wired
[07:45] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, with regards to map, is that only local? or can that be done at the grub prompt?
[07:45] <n8tuser> shatly right, thats why am surprised when you claimed, you had your adhoc working but it affected your eth0  which didnt seem to make sense
[07:45] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: Edit the windows entry, add those two lines near the top.
[07:46] <phnom> NicEXE, Depends on the backend, usually it's gconf so it should be ~/.gconf/apps/compiz
[07:46] <CaptainMorgan> ah.. ok
[07:46] <Desperado667> Anyone have experience with Lacie network drives?
[07:46] <shatly> n8tuser:  i had it once, and then i rebooted, and could not get it again
[07:46] <shatly> i think i am going to try again when i get some sleep
[07:46] <shatly> that may help
[07:47] <n8tuser> shatly -> a good rest does wonders
[07:47] <amuro> MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:47] <Captain_Haddock> hi, I have 2 sata drives on my system and they've both gone down :( How do I troubleshoot?
[07:47] <shatly> Captain_Haddock: sudo fdisk -l
[07:47] <shatly> are they listed there?
[07:48] <CaptainMorgan> thank you Flannel, I'll be back in a bit, hopefully you'll be around in a few
[07:48] <Captain_Haddock> shatly: nope
[07:48] <Captain_Haddock> I rebooted just now
[07:48] <shatly> Captain_Haddock: then it may be a bios problum, or hardware
[07:49]  * Captain_Haddock reboots - brb
[07:49] <shatly> Captain_Haddock: is it pluged into the mb, and are they spinning
[07:49] <Captain_Haddock> thanks shatly
[07:50] <shatly> Captain_Haddock: no problum, get help, and give is my theory
[07:50] <evilGUI> are you pretty safe in Ubuntu if you don't use ssh?
[07:51] <Odd-rationale> evilGUI: ubuntu doesn have the ssh server installed by default...
[07:51] <Odd-rationale> so you are pretty safe from other people ssh'ing in...
[07:51] <n8tuser> evilGUI -> safe if you dont use the network
[07:51] <evilGUI> Right so if ssh isn't installed are week passwords a bad idea?
[07:52] <evilGUI> I have a lot of people here that hate long passwords
[07:52] <shishio> #wine
[07:52] <Odd-rationale> evilGUI: weak passwds are always a bad idea...
[07:52] <bazhang> !give me a test
[07:52] <evilGUI> right but remote attacks shouldn't be possible right?
[07:52] <bazhang> kldsjfs, hi
[07:52] <Odd-rationale> evilGUI: at least from ssh... if the server is not running/installed.
[07:53] <n8tuser> evilGUI -> safe if you dont use the network
[07:53] <phnom> evilGUI, depends on how they are weak, common easily guessed words are a bad idea, but something like f&H54$. isn't that easily guessed nor cracked with common tables
[07:53] <evilGUI> anything else to watch out for besides ssh?
[07:54] <Odd-rationale> the internet... :P
[07:54] <evilGUI> Oh no there are bad guys on the internet =P
[07:54] <shatly> the tubes man, it is all  in the tubes
[07:55] <shatly> n8tuser:  would the next line being the same in lspci -v be affecting it
[07:55] <shatly> Memory at fbfc0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
[07:55] <shatly> just a diffrent memory size
[07:56] <n8tuser> shatly -> i dont follow... what about the results of lspci -v   ?
[07:56] <shatly> oooooooooooooo scrach that i am stuppid
[07:56] <shatly> i was looking at the first two and last 5 of it, but not the middle one
[07:56] <shatly> n8tuser: ^
[07:57] <n8tuser> shatly huh?  what are you referring to?
[07:57] <andresmh> I insert a USB pen drive, I type mount and it doesn't seem to show up. Any ideas?
[07:57] <shatly> nm, i am  stupid disregard all of that
[07:58] <shatly> andresmh: sudo fdisk -k
[07:58] <shatly> andresmh: sudo fdisk -l
[07:58] <shatly> sorry
[07:58] <shatly> do you see it there?
[07:58] <NicEXE> where can I find the configuration file for compiz?
[07:59] <andresmh> thanks shatly
[07:59] <phnom> NicEXE, Depends on the backend, usually it's gconf so it should be ~/.gconf/apps/compiz
[08:00] <ewfwef> k
[08:00] <shatly> andresmh: because you should know what sudo does at all times, that just prints off every partition on the computer, if it is not in there then more needs to be done, if it is there, i know how to mount via /etc/fstab but not with mount
[08:00] <NicEXE> how can I disable zoom plug-ins for compiz using the configuration files?
[08:01] <bazhang> ewfwef, hi
[08:01] <ziroday> !ccsm | NicEXE
[08:02] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, that works flawlessly, thank you!
[08:02] <NicEXE> ziroday: I hope I could use the GNOME session (not possible that way. I must disable the plug-ins from the configuration file)
[08:03] <bazhang> !ko > ewfwef
[08:03] <dA_ShArP> Hi people, now when I boot , it stops at the following * Mounting local filesystems...
[08:03] <dA_ShArP> and it doesn't go forward
[08:03] <ziroday> NicEXE: erm I do believe there is a config file, ask in #compiz-fusion
[08:04] <shiMMer> i cant "make" to install fluxbox.can any1 help me?
[08:04] <bazhang> shiMMer, you can install from repos
[08:04] <ziroday> shiMMer: why are you compiling fluxbox?
[08:04] <bazhang> shiMMer, no need to compile that
[08:04] <shiMMer> it new version
[08:04] <dA_ShArP> anyone aware of my problem :-S
[08:04] <shiMMer> fluxbox-1.1.1
[08:05] <shiMMer> or can i download new version from repos??
[08:05] <bazhang> !latest > shiMMer
[08:06] <shiMMer> yes..i need the latest
[08:06] <dA_ShArP> hey people, I mean why does that problem come :-S ,
[08:06] <shoeunited> !latest > shoeunited
[08:07] <dA_ShArP> !latest > dA_ShArP
[08:07] <shoeunited> Oh.
[08:07] <shoeunited> I knew that already.
[08:07] <dA_ShArP> :)
[08:07] <shiMMer> when im on fluxbox session,i open nautilus then it automatically return to my gnome session..how to fix this??
[08:07] <bazhang> shiMMer, what is available in the latest that you need so badly?
[08:08] <ziroday> shiMMer: try open it with nautilus --no-desktop
[08:08] <shiMMer> coz my fluxbox have problem.
[08:08] <shiMMer> when im on fluxbox session,i open nautilus then it automatically return to my gnome session..how to fix this??
[08:08] <Org-Mode> use thunar on fluxbox
[08:08] <bazhang> shiMMer, it logs you out then logs into gnome?
[08:08] <Org-Mode> not nautilus
[08:09] <shiMMer> no..i cant righ click..it went to gnome interface
[08:09] <ziroday> bazhang: I think he means it loads his nautilus desktop as launching nautilus without the --no-desktop option has it control the desktop by default
[08:10] <aboSamoor> Hi, my indexing is enabled. previously it becomes annoying eats 100% of processor for indexing 10 folders. how can I know which folders so I may figure what is the problem. ?
[08:10] <\Kira> how can I stop a service from starting on boot?
[08:10] <shiMMer> let me try again
[08:10] <ziroday> shiMMer: try opening nautilus with the --no-desktop option
[08:11] <shiMMer> ok2..i try
[08:11] <skullsoup> im on a 64 bit system trying to install mplayer an win64 codecs. im baffled. can anyone help me out?
[08:12] <bazhang> skullsoup, from medibuntu.org
[08:12] <\Kira> aboSamoor: if your trying to find what folder is taking so much space, you could download a graphical drive mapper. It shows boxes (by default) of your folders. The boxes are bigger and different colored based on folder size and its contents
[08:13] <Lunks> My processor is currently not behaving how I'd like to when it comes to power-saving speeds. How can I tweak it?
[08:13] <MHz128> Does the 64bit version of Ubuntu offer any performance advantages over the 386 version? ie. is it faster?
[08:13] <ziroday> MHz128: in some places yes, I can find a comparison for you if you want?
[08:14] <MHz128> ziroday, that would be great!
[08:14] <ziroday> MHz128: one sec
[08:14] <Lunks> I have that CPU speed applet for Gnome, and already have tried reconfiguring it so it would allow me to switch frequencies, but looks like it's *not* doing it at all.
[08:14] <Lunks> Little help? :)
[08:14] <skullsoup> i have the medibuntu in my sources for apt but cant get them to work. i installed win64codecs but they wont work on my video
[08:16] <NicEXE> anyway is ther any way to delete the "Area Zoom" plug-in for compiz?
[08:16] <shiMMer> yeah..it ok with "nautilus --no-desktop"..
[08:16] <NicEXE> *there

[08:17] <Org-Mode> shiMMer: you should probably be asking fluxbox questions in #fluxbox
[08:17] <MHz128> ziroday, will do! thanks man!
[08:17] <ziroday> shiMMer: you may want to see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[08:17] <ziroday> shiMMer: the command for network manager is nm-applet
[08:17] <shiMMer> it tell me to ask my dist room :(
[08:18] <aboSamoor> \Kira: I want to know the folders being indexed now, recently I generated many large trace files [part of my research] and I don't want them to be indexed

[08:19] <phnom> NicEXE, take a look in ~/.gconf/apps/comiz/general/allscreens/options/%gconf.xml
[08:19] <ziroday> !pm > shoeunited
[08:20] <phnom> NicEXE, I think it disables if you delete the entry there...

[08:24] <EeveeTrainer> hi how do i prevent ubuntu from loading b43 wireless driver and tell it instead to use ndiswrapper automatically on startup
[08:24] <click170> From a programming perspective, is it possible to mount a remote share (for the sake of argument, NFS) temporarily to, say, scan it for files, without requiring root access?  Or requiring some special customization of the sudoers file?
[08:25] <MHz128> How do I determine what version of ntfs-3g the repo's have?
[08:25] <narzy> how do I partition a new hard drive I installed?
[08:26] <narzy> and can I move my home folder to it?
[08:26] <skullsoup> i have tried http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html  for mplayer with w64doceds but stil wont open my file
[08:26] <Ahadiel> narzy, sudo apt-get install gparted, System => Admin => Partition Editor
[08:26] <shoeunited> MHz128, open a console and type: ntfs-3g --help
[08:26] <narzy> can I do it from SSH?
[08:26] <narzy> or can I screenshare w/ a mac?
[08:27] <shoeunited> MHz128, It should list the version @ the top.
[08:27] <ziroday> narzy: you can partition with fdisk however it can be complicated and dangerous
[08:27] <MHz128> shoeunited, awesome
[08:27] <ziroday> narzy: you can also do ssh -X to do X forwarding and then use gparted
[08:27] <shoeunited> np MHz128 :)
[08:28] <shishio> anyone here used virtual box?
[08:28] <narzy> I did -X and it just looks like a normal SSH
[08:29] <ziroday> narzy: if you run a graphical app it should appear
[08:29] <ziroday> shishio: yes, you can also ask in #virtualbox
[08:29] <narzy> that's awesome
[08:29] <geoilocate> just installed intrepid but get not browse the internet (connecting via proxy) but able to connect to LAN
[08:29] <shishio> ty XD
[08:29] <MHz128> What are the basic dev tool packages I need to compile the new ntfs source? sudo make install doesn't seem to work
[08:30] <narzy> OMG Linux is awesome!
[08:30] <narzy> OMG OMG OMG
[08:30] <ziroday> MHz128: you can do sudo apt-get build-dep ntfs-3g and it will install the build dependencies of ntfs-3g and then it shoukd work
[08:30] <ziroday> MHz128: also see !compile and !latest
[08:30] <MHz128> ziroday, that is too cool :)
[08:30] <MHz128> ok
[08:30] <MHz128> !latest
[08:30] <MHz128> !compile
[08:30] <FloodBot1> MHz128: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:31] <ziroday> !msgthebot > MHz128
[08:31] <MHz128> oh i c
[08:31] <NicEXE> how can I set metacity as my default window manager for gnome session (by editing the configuration files!)
[08:31] <ziroday> MHz128: :)
[08:31] <skullsoup> if anyone knows how to get mplayer working with win64 codecs on 8.10 please message me.
[08:32] <narzy> someone had a tutorial on moving your /home directory
[08:32] <ziroday> NicEXE: look in gconf-editor desktop > gnome > applications > window_manager
[08:32] <napster> I've two broken packages in my  ubuntu 8.10, how to solve this problem?
[08:32] <narzy> but I forgot to bookmark it
[08:32] <skullsoup> i have tried  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[08:32] <Mpole> Merry Xmas everyone!
[08:32] <shoeunited> MHz128, metacity --replace in your startups
[08:32] <MHz128> shoeunited, wrong user?
[08:32] <shoeunited> Possibly. lol
[08:33] <ziroday> shoeunited: you're talking to the wrong person :), NicEXE is the one with the problem
[08:33] <kalvin23> why cant i make a link of a folder from a external drive?
[08:33] <Mpole> Question: Ever since my last sudo apt-get update I have noticed that there is always a package manager working, indicated by the icon on the top right corner of the screen. But I have NOT started any package manager, so, how do I stop this one working in the background?
[08:33] <shoeunited> I'm probably too tired to be useful anymore >.<
[08:33] <MHz128> no worries, auto completion isn't that clever... hehe
[08:33] <sloopy> narzy, moving your home dir is a rather simple thing to do
[08:33] <ziroday> Mpole: that is just the update manager notification icon, the update manager isn't currently running
[08:34] <sloopy> narzy, its a matter of copying all data from old /home to new /home and then putting the new /home in /etc/fstab
[08:34] <NicEXE> ziroday: I can't login on GNOME session because there is a plugin that makes my PC crash when compiz is loading. so I must dissable compiz to be able to login using the GNOME session (then I can dissable that specific plugin)
[08:34] <bullgard4> What program can I use to edit the panel menubar?
[08:35] <ziroday> NicEXE: erm you can remove compiz and then reinstall it later
[08:35] <chilli0> Flannel Thanks
[08:35] <shoeunited> sloopy, I've had issue with that in the past.  some files get written with the wrong permissions.
[08:35] <musda> jakarta
[08:36] <napster> http://paste.ubuntu.com/93094/
[08:36] <NicEXE> ziroday: I will lose my configuration that way
[08:36] <narzy> ok so how do I do this
[08:36] <aboSamoor> I got this error while trying to compile ns2. ln: creating hard link `/media/sdb2/ns/ns-allinone-2.33/man/man3/Tk_Colormap.3' => `/media/sdb2/ns/ns-allinone-2.33/man/man3/Tk_WindowId.3': Operation not permitted
[08:36] <aboSamoor>  ?
[08:37] <sloopy> shoeunited, need to copy them in the right way, not just 'cp /home /new/home'
[08:37] <napster> http://paste.ubuntu.com/93094/    help please
[08:37] <narzy> the tutorial I was reading was all I had to boot from a live CD cause things couldn't be mounted
[08:37] <shoeunited> sloopy, I agree, but I figured narzy may need a little more explanation as I had goofed up before myself.
[08:38] <narzy> yes I need all the help I can get shoeunited
[08:38] <narzy> and sloopy
[08:38] <sloopy> using a liveCD makes it simple but best it to use single user mode and be root when you copy
[08:38] <narzy> but I want to live on the wild side and do it over SSH
[08:38] <napster> is there anyone who can help? please check it http://paste.ubuntu.com/93094/
[08:39] <Mpole> ziroday: but if i try to, say, install a package, i dont get permission, as the /var/bin/ is locked! something like that!
[08:39] <shoeunited> napster, which packages?
[08:39] <sloopy> narzy, still doable, i have done it with live login...
[08:39] <napster> I've no idea
[08:39] <napster> but its showing the error
[08:39] <sloopy> but not in ubuntu, in fedora...
[08:39] <napster> how i can check that which one is causing problem?
[08:39] <shoeunited> Oh, try #fedora
[08:40] <shoeunited> napster, wait is it happening in ubuntu or fedora?
[08:40] <skullsoup> can anyone help me install w64codecs and mplayer on ubuntu 8.10?
[08:40] <napster> Ubuntu
[08:40] <narzy> sloopy: probably the same the home folder is rather universal...
[08:40] <aboSamoor> can I make hard linking on vfat partition ?
[08:40] <napster> my fedora 10 is working great
[08:40] <sloopy> but should be about the same, since what we are working on doesnt really rely on anything distro specific
[08:40] <shoeunited> napster, open synaptic and use the broken package filter
[08:41] <narzy> so I have it on /dev/sdb right now and I want it on /dev/sda
[08:41] <narzy> and then everything to work right
[08:41] <sloopy> narzy, give a me sec i will look up the exact command
[08:41] <napster> ok let me check
[08:41] <dickinch15> just a dumb question is ubuntu unix are linux just curious
[08:42] <skullsoup> linux
[08:42] <napster> Another synaptic is running
[08:42] <napster> There is another synaptic running in non-interactive mode. Please wait for it to finish first.
[08:42] <dickinch15> thanks
[08:42] <musictoto> dickinch15 linux.
[08:42] <napster> I got this one now
[08:42] <dickinch15> thanks again
[08:42] <Mpole> ziroday: what terminal command can i run to show me - in detail - all running processes? i think kill will stop a process
[08:43] <shoeunited> napster, good :)
[08:43] <napster> how to solve?
[08:43] <shoeunited> napster, need to know what the packages are
[08:43] <NicEXE> how can I edit the startup configuration for GNOME session to use metacity instead of compiz?
[08:44] <shoeunited> NicEXE, are you in the session manager?
[08:44] <skullsoup> can anyone help me install w64codecs and mplayer on ubuntu 8.10?
[08:44] <napster> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvlc0_0.9.8a+x264snapshot20080928+faad2.6.1+2-1~ppa1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libvlc.so.2.0.2', which is also in package libvlc2
[08:44] <Mpole> NicEXE: i think u can do that in your System / Preferences / Appearance
[08:44] <napster> here is the error
[08:44] <apparle> Whenever I copy data to a USB Flash Disk, it is copied very very slowly(about 200 to 400 kbps) why? in 8.04 it was normal. I am facing this problem ever since I installed 8.10
[08:45] <shoeunited> napster, so you were trying to install an updated version of vlc
[08:45] <Kalidarn> mm how do u clearsign with a particular key
[08:45] <Kalidarn> gpg --clearsign sample.txt
[08:45] <sloopy> narzy, mount the new home and use 'cp -axv /home /dev/newhome'
[08:45] <Kalidarn> won't let me specify a particular identity
[08:45] <napster> no just updating via update manager
[08:45] <Kalidarn> i did look at the man file and tried a few things
[08:45] <Kalidarn> but yeah
[08:45] <napster> as regular update
[08:46] <Kalidarn> im trying to sign the ubuntu code of conduct for the ppa :P i want it to use the right key ;)
[08:46] <sloopy> narzy, need to do that as root (i.e. as root login, or preferably prepend with sudo)
[08:46] <Kalidarn> guess i was spoilt by kgpg
[08:46] <Mpole> All: I am a noobie to Linux (running Ubuntu 8.014)
[08:46] <narzy> so I have to mount the new partition first...
[08:47] <narzy> how do I do that?
[08:47] <shoeunited> napster, can you do sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[08:47] <NicEXE> @Mplole using the configuration files not any GUI tool @shoeumited no I am in mythbuntu session but I could logout if you want
[08:47] <napster> no
[08:47] <sloopy> narzy, have you partitioned and formatted it?
[08:47] <napster> let me check
[08:47] <narzy> I gparted it with ext3
[08:47] <MHz128> I've successfully compiles the latest ntfs-3g source, however apt-cache policy is still showing the older version...
[08:47] <sloopy> narzy, and what is its device name?
[08:48] <narzy> sda
[08:48] <sloopy> narzy, and partition?
[08:48] <narzy> just 1 big one...
[08:48] <Mpole> NicEXE: i think i will let more experienced users help you out on that one... lol
[08:49] <shoeunited> MHz128, in synaptic:  Settings -> Preferences -> Distrobution
[08:49] <skullsoup> can anyone help me install w64codecs and mplayer on ubuntu 8.10?
[08:49] <sloopy> narzy, 'sudo fdisk -l' (that is L not i) and what number is after /dev/sda
[08:49] <kholerabbi> Hey ould someone help me mount an external hard drive (usb)??
[08:50] <MHz128> shoeunited, oh ok, checkinstall seems to work
[08:50] <shoeunited> MHz128, good :)
[08:50] <kholerabbi> I'm using ubuntu 8.04
[08:50] <sloopy> narzy, uh wait a min, whats your / drive?
[08:51]  * shoeunited says to himself, if only there was a ticket system for irc.
[08:51] <MHz128> shoeunited, the new ntfs is much faster, woooo ;)
[08:51] <narzy> Disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
[08:51] <shoeunited> MHz128, awesome I'm glad for you. :)  I don't use ntfs though hehe
[08:51] <triggerhapp> Am i the only person unable to order from the canonical shop?
[08:51] <sloopy> narzy, put the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' in a pastebin
[08:52] <kholerabbi> I want to mount a usb hardd drive - maxtor brand
[08:52] <solid_liq> !ping
[08:52] <apparle> If I want a partition to accesible under windows> Which one should I choose NTFS of FAT32
[08:52] <narzy> http://pastebin.com/d7c4586a
[08:52] <Mpole> i ithink am going to get rid of compiz, it's conflicting with my syskernel, lol
[08:52] <sloopy> kholerabbi, it should mount automagically
[08:53] <Mpole> which i have already started removing!
[08:53] <kholerabbi> sloopy: OOOOhhh magic :)
[08:53] <shoeunited> apparle, fat32 is more stable as a sharing directory.  Though the reported chance of ntfs uncompressed unencrypted screwing up is low, it's still a risk to lose files.
[08:53] <kholerabbi> sloopy: afraid not though.
[08:53] <triggerhapp> brb all
[08:53] <kholerabbi> I'll restart?
[08:53] <sloopy> narzy, how is this machine booted? there should be other devices listed
[08:54] <MHz128> shoeunited, the UpdateManager is now telling me that the older version needs to be installed... how can I ignore this?
[08:54] <sloopy> kholerabbi, rebooting with it connected before boot will mount it, but automounter should be mounting it, if it has a valid fs on it
[08:54] <\Kira> how can I disable services from starting at boot?
[08:54] <\Kira> nessus takes FOREVER
[08:55] <napster> I've 1.7 Ghz 512 MB of Ram , 20 Gb of hard disk, laptop which one best work with it? ubuntu or fedora 10?
[08:55] <shoeunited> MHz128, in synaptic:  Settings -> Preferences -> Distrobution
[08:55] <\Kira> and its not even updating if it loads before I get interenet :|
[08:55] <sloopy> napster, which ever you are comfortable with
[08:55] <musictoto> kholerabbi: sloopy is right.  what filesystem is your drive ?
[08:55] <nbeebo> seems like my cd drive's burning capability isnt working... ive hear u can boot iso from the harddrive.. how?
[08:55] <nbeebo> heard*
[08:55] <\Kira> burn iso from harddrive?
[08:55] <\Kira> you mean boot off of a iso on the harddrive?
[08:56] <sloopy> musictoto, heh all this linux knowledge and i cant get a job in IT ;')
[08:56] <napster> I'm comfortable with ubuntu as well, as i like to work in Gnome than KDE
[08:56] <apparle> the data writing to USB flash disk is very slow, but it is normal in windows, what is the problem? It takes 20min to copy 500MB, where as in windows it takes 5 min
[08:56] <narzy> http://pastebin.com/d2c916c8c
[08:56] <shoeunited> MHz128, I have Always prefer Highest Version selected
[08:56] <narzy> wrong command
[08:56] <MHz128> cool
[08:56] <narzy> perhaps I need to reboot for it to see the new partition?
[08:56] <enzotib> \Kira, sudo update-rc.d service-name remove
[08:56] <\Kira> enzotib: thanks
[08:56] <\Kira> enzotib: is the service just called nessus?
[08:56] <napster> well i've used windows 6 year, so just feeling problem in using linux
[08:57] <Mpole> Compiz is removed, but it is still running... how do i terminate it?
[08:57] <enzotib> \Kira, you can check the filename in /etc/init.d
[08:57] <enzotib> Mpole, metacity --replace &
[08:57] <\Kira> enzotib: yeah, it got it. Thanks
[08:58] <sloopy> narzy, why is it booting from your sdb device instaed of sda?
[08:58] <napster> how i can improve my knowledge about linux?
[08:58] <Mpole> done! thanks!
[08:58] <narzy> cause that's the way the SATA is plugged in
[08:58] <sloopy> napster, hang here and read alot...
[08:58] <nbeebo> how u boot an iso from the hard drive? wanna install 8.10 but got no disc
[08:58] <shoeunited> napster, reading is one way.  I prefer a hands on approach.  there are books, cds, seminars
[08:59] <sloopy> narzy, ahh new drive (300GB) is sata and old(40GB) is pata?
[08:59] <shoeunited> napster, my way though, can cause a lot of frustration.  But the beauty of linux is, that when something breaks, you know it's something that you as the user did.
[08:59] <nbeebo> napster join #linux or #gentoo
[08:59] <narzy> no
[08:59] <Mpole> does anyone know anything about laptops? my compaq nx6110 has a problem with the hard drive connection, it has become loosened, so i have to remove it and reinstall it every time i want to boot. is there a permanent fix? it is a SATA drive.
[08:59] <napster> thanks buddies
[08:59] <narzy> one is on one controller and the other is on the other controller
[09:00] <napster> I think the hand on approach is the best way
[09:00] <gehel_> Hello ! Recently updated to 8.10. When using f-spot, I cant find where to select a fixed-ratio for selection. Any idea ?
[09:00] <NicEXE> how can I delete the "Area Zoom" plugin for compiz?
[09:00] <napster> Books cds and this community
[09:00] <musictoto> kholerabbi: open a terminal window and type 'sudo fdisk -l' withouth the quotes
[09:00] <enzotib> nbeebo, i suggest to boot up from usb, there are some wiki pages about it
[09:01] <\Kira> while running this one program that takes little memory, it manages to slow down my computer gradually and bring it to a full halt.... How could I find info about whats doing this??? Becuase it works fine on all my other systems
[09:01] <musictoto> kholerabbi: with your external hard drive attached to your computer
[09:01] <wellbug> hellp  every one
[09:01] <wellbug> hello
[09:01] <\Kira> hi
[09:01] <Mpole> well, until we meet again, have a great time everyone. Happy New Year 2009!
[09:01] <nbeebo> enzotib alright ill look for them
[09:01] <\Kira> BYE
[09:01] <sloopy> narzy, connected to pci and or pcix cards? or on mobo?
[09:01] <kholerabbi> sloopy, musictoto: my usb hdd is listed as /dev/sdb1 - could you tell me how to mount it?
[09:01] <narzy> on mobo
[09:02] <shoeunited> Hi wellbug
[09:02] <chalcedony> Kira: it might not be giving back memory, have you tried watching top while it's running?
[09:02] <kholerabbi> it's unrecignised file system (which Is fine if I can just format it)
[09:02] <musictoto> kholerabbi: ok now check what filesystem it is: hfs/ntfs/fat ...
[09:02] <musictoto> kholerabbi: ok lol :D
[09:02] <wellbug> hi  shoeunited
[09:02] <sloopy> kholerabbi, mkdir /media/usbdrive ; mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive
[09:02] <musictoto> kholerabbi, sloopy: yep that's right
[09:03] <wellbug> do you in ubuntu?
[09:03] <sfer21> !ask | wellbug
[09:03] <musictoto> sloopy: you're typing too fast for me :D
[09:03] <sloopy> narzy, so boot drive (the 40GB) is connected to mobo pata, and the 300GB is connected to mobo sata?
[09:03] <narzy> no, both are SATA
[09:04] <narzy> one is on an Intel controller and one is on a Promise controller
[09:04] <sloopy> musictoto, heh and 25 years in computer use i still havnt gotten around to learn how to touch type...
[09:04] <sloopy> narzy, both on mobo?
[09:04] <narzy> yes
[09:04] <shoeunited> touch type.  we were forced to learn that.
[09:04] <musictoto> sloopy: hehe, i did after 4 years ;)
[09:04] <musictoto> kholerabbi: does it work ?
[09:05] <shoeunited> I've got the keyboard memorized.  as long as I can find f & j I'm good to go.
[09:05] <musictoto> shoeunited: yeah that's what it is about, right :D
[09:06] <kholerabbi> musictoto: Iol: I do the above in terminal (with or without sudo) and get 'Cannot create directory... Only root can do that...
[09:06] <sloopy> i use a very fast hunt and peck, in college (the second time) i annoyed alot of people in typeing class, 40wpm with 0 mistakes... but then i am looking at the kb
[09:06] <musictoto> kholerabbi: your sudo command should do it :s
[09:06] <sloopy> kholerabbi, put a 'sudo' on the
[09:07] <kholerabbi> sloopy: yeah I did. same result :P
[09:07] <narzy> ok so where do I go from here sloopy ?
[09:07] <shoeunited> sloopy, lol nice IDK about wpm but I do know that I do ~9000kph with 0 errors (I've had to test for some jobs)
[09:08] <kholerabbi> sloopy: musictoto: ah. I forgot to put sudo after the ; for the second line :P.........
[09:08] <musictoto> :)
[09:08] <kholerabbi> Inow it asks me to specify a file system type
[09:08] <sloopy> kholerabbi, the mkdir only needs to be done once
[09:08] <dickinch15> lol ubuntu  works great my biggest prolbem is figuring out how to get the 3d box cube to work
[09:08] <sloopy> kholerabbi, is there a fs on it (i.e. have you formatted the drive?)
[09:09] <musictoto> sloopy: he has unrecognised fs
[09:09] <sloopy> musictoto, then probly not
[09:09] <kholerabbi> I'd like to just wipe it
[09:09] <musictoto> sloopy: yes
[09:09] <kholerabbi> use ext3 or soemthing
[09:09] <sloopy> kholerabbi, mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
[09:09] <lwizardl> anyone know of a video editor with gui that will let me cut out sections of video?
[09:09] <lwizardl> for linux
[09:10] <sloopy> narzy, this machine has booted with no problems with the 300gb as sda and the boot drive as sbb?
[09:10] <sloopy> err sdb
[09:10] <musictoto> kholerabbi: if you want to be able to use that drive on windows/mac too, you'd better use another fs
[09:10] <shiMMer> i cant run ksimet on ubuntu 8.10.i install it from repos.i cant run kismet..

[09:10] <narzy> yes
[09:10] <narzy> rebooted the system
[09:10] <imaginen1> )
[09:10] <narzy> now it is ext3
[09:10] <sloopy> narzy, is it mounted?
[09:11] <narzy> no
[09:11] <narzy> how should I mount it?
[09:11] <kholerabbi> musictoto: nah not at all. although I might partition of a section for that... I was thinking on installing intrepid on it--
[09:11] <musictoto> kholerabbi: yes, then ext3 will do
[09:11] <sloopy> narzy, make a mount point sudo mkdir /mnt/temp
[09:12] <musictoto> kholerabbi: but not for the win/mac partition
[09:12] <musictoto> kholerabbi: that should be ntfs
[09:12] <sloopy> narzy, then mount it 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp
[09:12] <narzy> done
[09:13] <musictoto> kholerabbi: post back if it works
[09:13] <sloopy> narzy, 'sudo cp -axv /home /mnt/temp'
[09:14] <shoeunited> I guess I have a question.  How do I update to an alpha build?  Yes I want to get to the unstable version.  And then, if possible downgrade to intrepid.  I know you may wonder why, and if you ask I'll tell you.
[09:14] <narzy> done

[09:18] <narzy> sloopy?
[09:19] <shoeunited> apparle, you will need at least a crossover lan cable, as a regular lan cable won't work like that.  You can also use a router, or a network hub with appropriate lan cables.
[09:20] <sloopy> kholerabbi, heh
