[20:30] <triggerhapp> Guest8177: When trying to type files/directories in terminal, press tab to make it find the file name for you, it can save typing errors from happening
[20:31] <triggerhapp> Guest8177: It takes a bit of practice but it makes terminal use very easy
[20:31] <Slart> mrtech2122: that should work, yes

[20:47] <starenka> Kohlrak: tor?
[20:47] <benmj> eventmaster: Depends. What's your problem?
[20:48] <Kohlrak> starenka: no... I mean a proxy like... let's say my website is kohlrak.com. I need a program that i can use with apache2 to go to kohlrak.com/proxy?url=www.somewebsite.com and it'll send back the web page.
[20:48] <eventmaster> benmj: i installed on my hp pavilion ze4200 ubuntu
[20:48] <eventmaster> and now i cannot open anything programms or terminal
[20:48] <starenka> Kohlrak: eee.. mod_proxy in apache? dunno just guessing
[20:49] <danbh_intrepid> Kohlrak: howw about a php script?

[20:50] <gnuskool> kory: what graphic card
[20:50] <danbh_intrepid> Kohlrak: do you want it to actually redirect to the site? so it reads www.somewebsite.com in the title bar?
[20:50] <adamk> glxgears is not a benchmark.
[20:50] <benmj> eventmaster: Can you literally not start any programs whatsoever?
[20:50] <lacy> adamk  can you tell me one ?
[20:50] <eventmaster> yes
[20:51] <benmj> eventmaster: Does the desktop come up and otherwise behave normally?
[20:51] <Slart> lacy: searched in synaptic for "benchmark" ?
[20:51] <Kohlrak> danbh_intrepid: no. I want it to mirror the website. So whatever is on somewebsite.com, it is then simply output by the php or the cgi.. kinda like the web proxies at http://www.proxy.org
[20:51] <adamk> lacy, Just try an actual opengl application or game and see what kind of performance you get.  Then you'll know if you are getting good performance :-)
[20:51] <lacy>  thanks

[20:52] <danbh_intrepid> Kohlrak: yeah, I dunno the answer, but I assume you could do it with a php script.  Just grab the other website, and then echo it out.

[20:52] <HaZiLLa> I need a guide that tells me how the basics of linux works
[20:52] <gnuskool> Kohlrak: yeah, but then again i got an ancient thinkpad with 256MB ram
[20:53] <Slart> wolfjb: if it's a normal dvd it should work.. try typing !dvd in here for some links from ubottu
[20:53] <benmj> eventmaster: Or can you just not open programs after two minutes?
[20:53] <wolfjb> Slart: thanks
[20:53] <starenka> danbh_intrepid: actually you can fetch it w/ curl in php, but how about the images etc??
[20:53] <wolfjb> !dvd
[20:53] <eventmaster> yes
[20:53] <Kohlrak> danbh_intrepid: i didn't know you could grab a page via php?
[20:53] <Kohlrak> starenka: i'll try looking at this
[20:54] <Slart> yuri_: I don't think there's anything special for doing floor plans.. but perhaps dia
[20:54] <gnuskool> HaZiLLa: a book is the best way, so you can have linux open and can flip pages, jon a nlibrary
[20:54] <benmj> Yes to which one? Can you do nothing or just not open programs?
[20:54] <yuri_> Slart: thanks, ill trey that
[20:54] <starenka> Kohlrak: you can... and you can also use curl extension
[20:54] <wolfjb> Slart: btw, it's a purchased StarWars Episode I dvd
[20:54] <THE_GFR|WORK> how do I make the files visible anyway?
[20:54] <yuri_> Slart: it doesnt have to be "gnufloorplan" :)
[20:54] <nickrud> yuri_, you might like qcad
[20:54] <Kohlrak> starenka: curl? it's been a long time since i used php, and even then i wasn't any good with it?

[20:55] <naiad> Im new to ubuntu but not linux and I just installed ubuntu-server.  Im curious on the frequency of package updates.  I don't see any apache 2.2.9 just 2.2.8 in the apt packages.  Does a new version of apache not get released until the next full release of ubuntu or has one just not been made yet?
[20:55] <yuri_> nickrud: does it require kde libs?
[20:55] <gnuskool> HaZiLLa: there are also video tutorials on youtube and other video sites, look around, but google has tons of linux related pages if you want to read online
[20:55] <Slart> yuri_: hehe.. well.. any cad software should work too..
[20:55] <nickrud> yuri_, libqt3-mt only
[20:55] <Kohlrak> naiad: not made yet
[20:55] <yuri_> nickrud: okie, thanks
[20:55] <starenka> Kohlrak: yes, you can get the page via fopen() and such , or use cul http://cz2.php.net/curl
[20:55] <danbh_intrepid> naiad: correct, in general, new software is release every 6 months, with the new release
[20:55] <benmj> eventmaster: Try ctrl-alt-f1 sometime after it locks up. You should get a command line. Tell me if that works.
[20:56] <Kohlrak> alright, thanks starenka, i'll see what i can do with this
[20:56] <nickrud> naiad, correct
[20:56] <THE_GFR|WORK> ok so I used foremost to recover a bunch of files how do I see them outside of the console?
[20:56] <nickrud> naiad, although security stuff that is in .9 would get backported to .8
[20:56] <gnuskool> naiad, server relaesases are not bleeding edge
[20:56] <wolfjb> Slart: wierd, I ejected it and tried it again and now it works
[20:56] <naiad> would it be released faster if 2.2.9 contained more serious security fixes?
[20:56] <starenka> Kohlrak: np, check pm plz
[20:56] <eventmaster> benmj: if i press ctrl-alt-f1 i get
[20:57] <kingsley> An NBC web site tells me I need to upgrade flash to version 9, even though I already have it.

Would some people here please tell me if http://www.nbc.com/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/video/episodes/ works for you, or says you need to upgrade?
[20:57] <naiad> oh
[20:57] <OleksandrKovalov> Hi to all! I like Ubuntu! :)

[20:57] <naiad> well that's all im really concerned about is making sure the security patches are up to date

[20:57] <Guest8177> how do u sudo reboot

[20:57] <Slart> wolfjb: well.. it worked right away here.. opened in totem.. seems to be playing fine

[20:58] <Slart> wolfjb: but no menus.. as you said
[20:58] <kingsley> gnuskool: Interesting. Could I impose upon you to check if NBC's web site works for you?
[20:58] <wolfjb> ah
[20:58] <nickrud> kingsley, seems to be working here
[20:58] <Slart> Guest55467: sudo shutdown -r now
[20:58] <benmj> eventmaster: Good to know. Also, I am glad you get that command line. It means the system isn't completely locked up.
[20:58] <nickrud> THE_GFR|WORK, where are they, in the console
[20:59] <danbh_intrepid> kingsley: it just sits there for me
[20:59] <wolfjb> Slart: well, that was really odd, I've been trying it for a while with different players all to no avail, of course until I ask a question then it magically starts working. I must have missed something earlier
[20:59] <gnuskool> kingsley: i dont have it installed, i used to and know it works on some sites to masquearade as IE
[20:59] <naiad> Would there be a way to validate the 2.2.8 package I have installed has the 2.2.9 bug fixes?
[20:59] <wolfjb> Slart: thanks for the reply though, much appreciated
[20:59] <kingsley> nickrud: That's interesting. Thanks. Two questions: 1.) Which web browser worked and 2.) Which version of flash is reported by http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507?
[20:59] <Slart> wolfjb: no worries
[20:59] <Slart> wolfjb: glad you got it sorted out
[21:00] <benmj> eventmaster: As for the internet thing, do you mean it normally has internet acess and that isn't working either, or do you mean that it normally doesn't?
[21:00] <kingsley> danbh_intrepid: Thanks. Two questions: 1.) Which web browser did you use and 2.) Which version of flash is reported by http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507?

[21:00] <cbk486> is there a command to get grub to reconfigure itself automatically?
[21:00] <cbk486> !grub

[21:01] <eventmaster> benmj: yes normaly it has internet acess but it does not configure
[21:01] <eventmaster> i have a fritz stickl
[21:01] <cbk486> When I set up a dual boot with vista and select it on the menu, it doesn't work
[21:01] <danbh_intrepid> kingsley: mmm, works without the last ?
[21:01] <cbk486> It just returns to the grub screen after I select the entry
[21:02] <KenBW22> what packages do i need to install to create an ssh server?
[21:02] <danbh_intrepid> kingsley: heh, the version reported for my flash is LNX
[21:02] <adilson> how do i take screenshots in xubuntu?
[21:02] <saschahl> KenBW22: try openssh-server
[21:03] <OleksandrKovalov> KenBW22, try ssh
[21:03] <kingsley> danbh_intrepid: If you omit the ? from the URL, Adobe's web site should report a version like 9,0,124,0.
[21:03] <benmj> eventmaster: there may not be much I can do about the internet access. USB wifi in linux can be a little iffy, depending on the device. I'll look into it, though.
[21:03] <OleksandrKovalov> DOes anybody know when OO 3 will be in packages?
[21:04] <danbh_intrepid> kingsley: well, im on intrepid atm, running flash 10 I believe, which is a beta.  So, it doesn't surprise me that its not working correctly
[21:04] <KenBW22> OleksandrKovalov: most likely in a future ubuntu release

[21:11] <Double> i need something to beat off to, anyone know any good porn sites?
[21:11] <DEdwards> howdy, I currently run 8.04 of an 80gb drive with /dev/sdb1 as / /dev/sdb2 as swap and /dev/sdb3 as home.  I am planning on installing another 80gb drive.  I want the new drive to be / and extra storage, while expanding the ext3 partition on my current drive for an 80gb /home, can this be done?
[21:11] <jigo> question: should i install ubuntu to a Fu-Si Amilo 1705?
[21:11] <Keloreeen> does anyone know the name of the program thats used by the EEEpc to display if you have CapsLock/NumLock turned on ??
[21:11] <mypup> yomomma.porn
[21:12] <KenBW22> jigo: i know someone with a amilo, and it works ok
[21:12] <simmerz> hi. i no longer have sound on my machine. any ideas why that might be? i've not changed the setup of my laptop, just done updates, and now i get no sound at all
[21:12] <Double> yomomma.porn?
[21:13] <benmj> eventmaster: Or at least I think so. I'm probably not the best person to help you with that problem, but I know that people were at least able to get it to work back in 6.06.
[21:13] <iMind> newbe question: why do you sometimes give a variable via the & operator to a funtion eg. "foo(const & bla)" instead of just "foo(const bla)" ???
[21:14] <flyback> do I need to install all traces of a old kernel, if I use the whatever it's called compiler setup for a kernel that spits out a deb
[21:14] <Double> any good porn sites or what?
[21:14] <iMind> sry wrong channel
[21:14] <matrix> hello my back button on firefox is highlight i can not click the back button when visitin sites i need to close firefox and start again what to do
[21:14] <flyback> Double, WHAT THE CANUCK KINDA QUESTION IS THAT HERE
[21:14] <jussi01> Double: not here!
[21:14] <nickrud> Double, wrong place those questions
[21:15] <Double> i need some though!!
[21:15] <eventmaster> benmj: if you want me to help that my fukin fritz stick is workin
[21:15] <flyback> you are going to need a new internet connection if you don't stop trolling
[21:15] <flyback> I am not in the mood

[21:15] <nlindblad> Hi! My system keeps up a very intense number for CPU waiting (waiting for I/O) since I switched to the 64-bit edition. Any clues why?
[21:15] <jigo> Ken- how can i install it- i have two partitions on c the windows, i would like to erase it-but after i inst ubuntu can i reinst windows-if it don't work-no sys trouble?
[21:15] <flyback> nlindblad,
[21:15] <flyback> what 64 bit cpu
[21:15] <Double> yomomma.porn
[21:15] <nlindblad> flyback: Core 2 Duo
[21:15] <flyback> early modem intel or early model amd?
[21:15] <naiad> Im confused on why daemons wouldnt be updated outside of the server release cycle.  Doesn't that 'casue a security issue?
[21:16] <gaintsura> how can I find out if bluetooth is enabled on my system? I have an internal bluetooth setup, but I don't know if it was activated or setup at install
[21:16] <flyback> duo's have a proper iommu, actually I think on intel it's still in the chipset
[21:16] <KenBW22> jigo: PM me, ill walk you through it
[21:16] <flyback> what chipset
[21:16] <eventmaster> somebody here who can help me with my fritz usb stick
[21:16] <eventmaster> i have a wpa network
[21:16] <nickrud> naiad, no. If you check the changelogs of daemons, you'll see much about backporting security fixes
[21:16] <naiad> nickrud k i'll check it otu
[21:16] <erUSUL> naiad: they are only patched to fix security bugs. no new version only security bugfixes
[21:17] <nickrud> naiad, debian changelogs mined you
[21:17] <nlindblad> flyback: T7250
[21:17] <matrix> hello my back button on firefox is highlight i can not click the back button when visitin sites i need to close firefox and start again what to do
[21:17] <flyback> T7250 is the cpu
[21:17] <simmerz> hi. i no longer have sound on my machine. any ideas why that might be? i've not changed the setup of my laptop, just done updates, and now i get no sound at all
[21:17] <simmerz> running hardy
[21:17] <Scunizi> eventmaster: can't help specifically but have you tried to turn off WPA security and then see if the stick works.. if it does then you just need help getting wpa setup correctly
[21:18] <nlindblad> flyback: You mean the motherboard?
[21:18] <flyback> yes
[21:18] <flyback> my point is if you have a chipset without a proper iommu
[21:18] <flyback> the cpu might be getting pegged using bounce buffers
[21:18] <elcapitan> howdy
[21:19] <eventmaster> yes without wpa it is working
[21:19] <elcapitan> any one here know how to get avant window manager to work in ubuntu ?
[21:19] <nlindblad> flyback: No way to fix? How can I find out which chipset I have?
[21:19] <erUSUL> !awn
[21:19] <flyback> lspci or lshw
[21:19] <Scunizi> !wpa | eventmaster
[21:19] <kapat> what package installs the manpages for the C library functions, like strtok()?
[21:19] <danhs1> Is there a way to print a cover page with every pritn job?
[21:19] <flyback> nlindblad,  it's just an idea I don't know if this is even the case
[21:20] <erUSUL> kapat: manpages-dev
[21:20] <kapat> erUSUL: ty!
[21:20] <lacy>  how do i check my video drivers ?
[21:21] <Sara22> hello.  can someone please help me with my wireless card on my gateway t1628
[21:21] <erUSUL> Sara22: which wifi chip does it uses?
[21:21] <nPegler> looking for some help with wireless on a gateway w730-k8x that uses a broadcom wireless network adapter
[21:21] <erUSUL> Sara22: "lshw -C Network" should tell you
[21:22] <nPegler> wanting to make sure ubuntu 8.04 will work with it before I find out
[21:22] <nlindblad> flyback: Can't find the chipset model anywhere
[21:22] <kingkickass> yesterday I had sound, today I start ubuntu and I have no sound! wtf happened
[21:22] <erUSUL> nPegler: for boradcomo dl and run b43-fwcutter
[21:22] <nPegler> *before I download and test
[21:22] <Sara22> erUSUL: its a usb internal card is that the same command that I need to run
[21:22] <kalevra> anyone have problems with their wireless USB keyboard and mouse not working?  Only working after you unplug and re plug in your receiver?
[21:22] <nPegler> will that work with the live cd to test?
[21:22] <erUSUL> Sara22: yes or "lsusb" if you prefer
[21:22] <mypup> yes
[21:23] <nlindblad> flyback: Perhaps I should go back to 32-bit
[21:23] <mib_qzcc6wsi> after installing ubuntu how long should i wait after the reboot, i just see the cursor in the top left corner
[21:23] <nPegler> thanks for the help...I'll try putting this on my jump drive and testing with the live cd
[21:24] <Sara22> erUSUL: it says invalid option -- C
[21:24] <flyback> nlindblad,  I don't know
[21:24] <flyback> do I need to install all traces of a old kernel, if I use the whatever it's called compiler setup for a kernel that spits out a deb
[21:24] <flyback> uninstall
[21:25] <naiad> does anyone know a way to test a binary to find what arch it was compiled for?
[21:25] <brandan_> There was this Nintendo 64 Emulator I got off Synaptic a while ago, i forget the name, anyone know it?
[21:25] <erUSUL> Sara22: lshw said that?
[21:25] <passaro> hello
[21:25] <Scunizi> flyback: if you want to compile for a specific kernel you need the build-essential backage for that kernel
[21:25] <Scunizi> *package
[21:25] <Sara22> erUSUL: lsusb did
[21:25] <nickrud> flyback, if you used kernel-package to make the deb, no. It will install alongside any prior deb type kernel
[21:25] <erUSUL> Sara22: i f you use lsusb type only that "lsusb" and hi enter
[21:26] <flyback> Scunizi, that's not what I asked
[21:26] <passaro> how do i do to merge two alike folders recursevly?
[21:26] <flyback> I asked if I need to uninstall al traces of the old kernel manually
[21:26] <daniele> hi
[21:26] <mib_qzcc6wsi> could someone please help me im way over my head
[21:26] <daniele> i'm daniele
[21:26] <flyback> hi :)
[21:26] <Myrtti> hi daniele
[21:26] <passaro> id like to do someting like mv -u -r apa/* Apa/ how do i do it??
[21:26] <kiot> hi , i want to have a download manager for ubuntu
[21:26] <daniele> how are you?
[21:27] <kiot> is there alternative to IDM
[21:27] <thiemster> mib_qzcc6wsi what do you need help with?
[21:27] <Sara22> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46711/
[21:27] <Myrtti> daniele: do you have a ubuntu related question?
[21:27] <mib_qzcc6wsi> thie, i tried to install ubuntu with usb and i thought it installed but when i went to reboot i see cursor top left corner and thats it
[21:27] <Myrtti> mib_qzcc6wsi: ubuntu or xubuntu?
[21:27] <mib_qzcc6wsi> ubuntu
[21:27] <Scunizi> flyback: if you're doing it from the command line yea.. if you're doing it from synaptic you have to tag each package.  some packages will automatically tag for deletion when deleting other packages.
[21:27] <mib_qzcc6wsi> 8.10netinstall
[21:28] <daniele> where are you from?
[21:28] <jussi01> daniele: this is not really a place to chat - try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat :)
[21:28] <Myrtti> mib_qzcc6wsi: please try #ubuntu+1
[21:28] <kiot> is there alternative download manager to IDM
[21:28] <flyback> has to be command line the blades are headless :P
[21:28] <Sara22> erUSUL: the windows driver is 8189 realtek and I was told that realtek 8187 works too and I installed that.  but though i have wireless it wont connect.  the documentation says it wont work for WPA just WEP :(  but the network is WPA
[21:28] <thugren> hello pople
[21:28] <mib_qzcc6wsi> thanks
[21:28] <thugren> lol
[21:28] <thugren> Hello people.. :)
[21:28] <Myrtti> hello thugren
[21:29] <flyback> anyone know how to fix the ubuntu 6.06lts nano package bug where it tries to justify everything and smashes lines together
[21:29] <bayram> hallo
[21:29] <Scunizi> !wpa | Sara22
[21:29] <erUSUL> Sara22: does "lsmod | grep r8187" return anything?
[21:29] <simmerz> anyone able to help me with a sound issue on my laptop? it used to work and now i don't get anything, but the configuration of it hasn't changed afaik. I just did the various updates asked by the system
[21:29] <flyback> and keeps saying "can now unjustify" when you try to save etc
[21:29] <flyback> that is annoying enough for me to think about chocking the life out of the developer
[21:29] <flyback> drives me nuts
[21:30] <Sara22> erUSUL: no it does not
[21:30] <flyback> i've used nano since the days when it was still pico before it was cloned and I only seen this crap on ubuntu
[21:30] <erUSUL> Sara22: do "sudo modprobe r8187"
[21:30] <soundray> Hi, I've lost some text that I typed into a web form because the site logged me out. I see there is a file called formhistory.sqlite in my firefox directory -- might this still contain my work? How can I read it?
[21:31] <Sara22> erUSUL: no it says sudo modprobe r8187
[21:31] <Slart> soundray: if it's an sqlite database there are tools to read it..
[21:32] <Scunizi> flyback: the help file shows how to justify a paragraph or an entire file.. maybe the same keys will unjustify
[21:32] <Slart> soundray: sqlite is open source..afaik.. check their site for binaries
[21:32] <foo> hm, my upgrade from dapper to hardy is failing. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/died.txt is the error,  http://x03.ath.cx/temp/sources.list is my sources.list... any ideas?
[21:32] <flyback> Scunizi, no I just want that s*** off
[21:32] <Slart> !info sqlitebrowser | soundray
[21:33] <flyback> I can't edit config files and get these servers up
[21:33] <flyback> cause it's randomly mangling lines and you don't see this unless you bring it up in something else
[21:33] <frith> why was the default behaviour changed not to send the hostname in dhcp?
[21:33] <fatmuemoo> hey, newbie here. I'm trying to mutli monitor support from ubuntu. Can any one help me?
[21:34] <soundray> Slart: sounds good, thanks, will have a look
[21:34] <Scunizi> !editor
[21:34] <erUSUL> Sara22: ?? have you run "sudo modprobe r8187"
[21:35] <mwalker> any one have any luck getting usb wifi to work on VirtualBox with XP 64 as host and Ubuntu 8.04 as the guest?
[21:35] <Slart> flyback: no reported bugs for the package? an editor mangling whatever files it edits sounds kind of bad
[21:35] <Flannel> flyback: Do you have an example of said mangling?
[21:35] <flyback> i'm about to break down and just roll out a new image
[21:35] <kingkickass> I have sound in firefox but not in the videoplayer, what is wron
[21:35] <Sara22> erUSUL: yes it says FATAL: Module 8187 not found
[21:36] <flyback> Flannel, no because it's no always apprant because you can only figure it out when you boot the system
[21:36] <erUSUL> Sara22: is r8187 (note the r)
[21:36] <flyback> i've had to edit files several times before it worked
[21:36] <flyback> it's like it's putting invisible characters on lines
[21:36] <flyback> extra lf's etc
[21:36] <fatmuemoo> can anyone help with multi monitor support?
[21:36] <flyback> I dunno these blades have always been weird but this only happens on ubuntu 6.06lts's nano
[21:37] <Sara22> erUSUL: FATAL: Module r8187 not found.
[21:37] <Flannel> flyback: That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.  Wouldn't you then be able to view them later and see it?
[21:37]  * Slart is off to edit some files with nano...
[21:37] <foo> hm, my upgrade from dapper to hardy is failing. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/died.txt is the error,  http://x03.ath.cx/temp/sources.list is my sources.list... any ideas?
[21:37] <flyback> lemme try forcing a newer version
[21:37] <askand> hi how can I change resolution fast, with just a command without having to logout? a bit urgen..im on 300x300 or something
[21:37] <soundray> Slart: I can see my web form history now, unfortunately it doesn't seem to store textblocks.
[21:37] <erUSUL> Sara22: what version of ubuntu do you have instaled ?
[21:37] <Sara22> erUSUL: 8.0.4
[21:37] <Flannel> flyback: No, you don't need to force a newer version.
[21:37] <flyback> it's ok this image is getting hosed anyways
[21:37] <Sara22> Sara22: Hardy
[21:37] <flyback> I think there's some stuff broken anyways
[21:38] <danhs1> How do I print out a separator page for every job?
[21:38] <Flannel> foo: can you view http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in a web browser?
[21:38] <flyback> the biggest thing of course was the broken kernel
[21:38] <Slart> soundray: mm.. have you checked the cache? grep might be useful (I'm assuming you remember something of the stuff you wrote)
[21:38] <flyback> 2.6.15 is *CANUCKED*
[21:38] <danhs1> I have a big batch job and I really need to separate everyone of the files that comes out
[21:38] <flyback> has a nfs crash and burn bug
[21:38] <Flannel> flyback: Please stop using that term.
[21:38] <soundray> Slart: yes, tried that, no dice
[21:38] <Slart> danhs1: isn't there a setting in some printer properties?
[21:38] <flyback> ok :P
[21:38] <danhs1> Slart: where?
[21:38] <Slart> danhs1: I'm almost certain I've seen it somewhere
[21:38] <erUSUL> Sara22: weird ... find /lib/modules -type f -name '*r8187*'  returns anything?
[21:38] <Slart> danhs1: hang on.. let me check
[21:38] <jay2> if anyone wants free ubuntu cd installs just let me know and it is on your way :)
[21:39] <Flannel> flyback: And, if you're having kernel problems, try upgrading to Hardy.  You can do it right off the bat.
[21:39] <soundray> Slart: I'll just have to remember what I wrote and write it again. Bad luck, but can't be helped
[21:39] <jay2> like cd
[21:39] <foo> Flannel: Thanks, yes I can. I can even download the files and gunzip then... looks like some hash mismatch, no idea why it's throwing this error, though
[21:39] <flyback> Flannel, can't
[21:39] <cbk486> Is there anyway I can boot from the live cd have grub rewrite menu.lst?
[21:39] <danhs1> Slart: Is it Finishings: cover?
[21:39] <cbk486> and have*
[21:40] <Slart> soundray: well..sometimes life gives you lemons.. throw them at someone and at least get some joy out of them =)
[21:40] <flyback> a) 6.06LTS is the only thing I could both pxe install and auto script because of the headless blades b) needs to be a supported vmware server host c) they are very anal about not chanigng shit once it runs, even if it's broken
[21:40] <flyback> but since this is a new set I am thinking about upgrading anyways
[21:40] <Sara22> erUSUL: no it does not
[21:40] <Flannel> flyback: Again, the language.
[21:40] <Slart> danhs1: I was thinking more along the lines of "Starting Banner", or "Ending Banner"
[21:41] <danhs1> I don't think that's it....but maybe
[21:41] <flyback> i'm about to drive into work and do a physical install of 8.04 and test against it
[21:41] <Slart> danhs1: in system, administration, printing
[21:41] <Punker> Hello there.
[21:41] <flyback> once I have the physical install done I can clone to the other blades
[21:41] <danhs1> Slart: I see it....
[21:41] <flyback> since I got a kvm module I have one blade in each set that actually has a head
[21:41] <flyback> can ubuntu install from usb cdrom?
[21:42] <Flannel> flyback: If the computer can boot to it, yeah
[21:42] <Flannel> !install | flyback
[21:42] <Slart> flyback: worked for me
[21:42] <flyback> cause the kvm module also adds a usb port :P
[21:42] <Sara22> erUSUL: anything else I can try?
[21:42] <flyback> it's only 1.1 but it does work and is bootable
[21:42] <Slart> flyback: I think it depends more on the computer.. if it can boot from an usb cd-rom you should be able to install from it
[21:42] <frith> how can i figure out what cpu i have? /proc/cpu doesn't tell me if i have a 51xx etc
[21:42] <soundray> Sara22: the module in question is normally installed as part of a modules package. Please try 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)'
[21:42] <flyback> i've seen linux distros where the computer can boot from usb cdrom but the distro had problems finding the cdrom
[21:43] <Slart> danhs1: ok.. I tried "starting banner" and it didn't work
[21:43] <danhs1> :-p
[21:43] <flyback> I used to really be into low level linux then I kinda crashed and burned
[21:43] <vdsy> quick question...how do you not let ubuntu install grub at the install
[21:43] <flyback> ok then it's decided
[21:43] <flyback> going to drive into work
[21:43] <Flannel> vdsy: With the desktop or alternate/server CD?
[21:43] <cbk486> click advacned at the last screen I think
[21:43] <flyback> make 2 physical installs of base 6.06LTS server and one of 8.04 LTS server
[21:43] <danhs1> Slart: maybe job options --> common optoins --> more --> finishings --> cover
[21:43] <danhs1> ?
[21:44] <cbk486> and deselect write bootloader
[21:44] <flyback> once I get them imaged then I can do the rest of the workd remote
[21:44] <vdsy> Flannel,  desktop CD
[21:44] <flyback> mabye my 6.06 I origionally did just got damaged
[21:44] <Sara22> erUSUL: ok done
[21:44] <kwame> Hi, in CentOS/Fedora I have /var/log/secure to view the ssh connections to my box, I don't see anything like it in Ubuntu
[21:44] <Flannel> vdsy: Yes, what cbk486 said.  Advanced at the last screen.
[21:44] <soundray> cbk486: you should make clear that this was for vdsy
[21:44] <cbk486> sorry
[21:45] <Otacon22> wich is the most simple and easy-to-use and easy-to-install Speech Recognition Software for linux?
[21:45] <Slart> danhs1: well.. you can give it a try.. but I think that's stuff the printer might do to your printout afterwards.. stapling etc
[21:45] <vdsy> thanx
[21:45] <soundray> Sara22: I'm confused -- did you mean me?
[21:45] <foo> Flannel: weird, eh? Any other ideas?
[21:46] <kwame> Hi, in CentOS/Fedora I have /var/log/secure to view the ssh connections to my box, I don't see anything like it in Ubuntu
[21:46] <Sara22> soundray: i am sorry yes!!!
[21:46] <Sara22> soundray: yes I meant you :)
[21:46] <Flannel> foo: oh, right, hash sum mismatch.  I completely didn't see that.  Have you checked bug reports about that?
[21:46] <soundray> Sara22: what exactly were you trying that gave you that error earlier?
[21:47] <erUSUL> Sara22: sorry have to attend th phone...
[21:47] <danhs1> Slart: :-p
[21:47] <danhs1> so how can I get coverpages in general?
[21:47] <danhs1> Seems kinda of silly
[21:47] <Slart> danhs1: there's a setting in the printer properties you get when you print that says "cover page"
[21:47] <dfgas> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave                   aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy                            how do i fix this?
[21:47] <e2k> When using a ssh connection with urxvt I get this when trying to start pine "Terminal type "rxvt-unicode" is unknown.".. What's causing this? When I log in I also get this tcsh: using dumb terminal settings. Any thoughts?
[21:47] <Sara22> soundray: I was trying to get my wireless card to work
[21:47] <Slart> danhs1: with the same settings as in the system, adminsitration, printing dialog
[21:47] <erUSUL> Sara22: it is weird that you do not have the driver i have it and i use 8.04 too
[21:47] <Sara22> erUSUL: its cool
[21:47] <soundray> erUSUL: sorry, I kind of took over and made her reinstall ubuntu-modules
[21:47] <danhs1> Slart: does that coverpage work?
[21:47] <darren_> Hi does any one know how to clean a old files from a linux machine, in windows i use ccleaner and registry mechanic is there some thing close to that, and when i remove programes from synaptic does it delete it all thanks for the help
[21:48] <erUSUL> soundray: it is ok...
[21:48] <Sara22> soundray: thanks!
[21:48] <soundray> Sara22: I understand that. I mean the exact command.
[21:48] <Slart> danhs1: yes, it does.. prints out a nice coverpage with username, time and other stuff

[21:50] <|MUSE|> my firefox keeps opening into fullscreen mode. Sometimes I can even switch between 2 applications and it will turn on fullscreen mode. Is this a bug or a setting that I can not find anywhere, and how do I resolve the problem?

[21:50] <darren_> also one last thing if i use ubuntu auto detect it does not play sound any more it used to but now it says invalid argument does any one know how to fix this please a very annoying problem been reading for a few dys but i have not found some one with the same problem

[22:01]  * flyback decides it's going to take far less time to drive 2-3 miles to work, create 2 new linux install images on the blade with the video port and image them, them spend all day trying to setup a new pxe boot install image
[22:01] <Sara22> soundray: what are my options at this point (I really dont want to go to vista again)
[22:01] <soundray> Krumar: what graphics card do you have?
[22:01] <Tonik> Is there some unofficial build of Nautilus offering more view options than just Icons and List?
[22:01] <darren_> crimsun, does all this make sence to you im lost
[22:01]  * flyback bbl
[22:01] <soundray> Sara22: have you been through the help pages?
[22:01] <Krumar> soundray, i have a GeForce 5900

[22:02] <Sara22> soundray: yes
[22:02] <Sara22> ok sorry I didnt see it
[22:02] <adude> is there a way i can make firefox act like Window's ie
[22:02] <soundray> Krumar: in that case, you shouldn't modify xorg.conf with an editor. Use nvidia-settings to enable Twinview
[22:03] <soundray> Krumar: oops, I jumped the gun. What driver are you using, nv or nvidia?
[22:03] <Krumar> soundray, i've tried twinview but it's not exactly what i'm looking for
[22:03] <soundray> Krumar: what are you looking for
[22:03] <soundray> ?
[22:03] <matrix> hi my ubuntu is not working my firefox is hangin, my console is hangin i reboot still same thing happens it looks like a bug is there any way to re-install with out formatin and runnin ubuntu cd install
[22:03] <darren_> crimsun, also to add if i try to play mp3 with totam it comes back with the same error message
[22:04] <Flannel> foo: That won't upgrade you to Hardy, that'll just make sure you're fully up to date with dapper.
[22:04] <danhs1> Slart: thanks.  sounsd good.  I'll give it a shot
[22:04] <danbh_intrepid> matrix: is this a clean install?
[22:04] <matrix> yest i want to clean install or re-install what to do nothing is working on my ubuntu
[22:05] <Sara22> this stuff is way over my head.  Thx for your help.  Sigh.
[22:05] <xbxb> How can I see the total amount of *bytes* all files in a folder contain? with nautilus I only see "1.5 GB" instead of "1782193291 bytes"...
[22:05] <danbh_intrepid> matrix: you could try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
[22:05] <soundray> Sara22: do you have any other USB wireless devices lying around?
[22:06] <Krumar> soundray, i'm using nvidia
[22:06] <Sara22> soundray: no but I can get one.  Any one that we know that works best?
[22:06] <matrix> ok done now what to do
[22:06] <matrix> reboot or what
[22:06] <foo> Flannel: From what I've read, that's not the case. I can see it grabbing packages from hardy right now...
[22:06] <Sara22> soundray: the current one is usb but internal
[22:06] <soundray> Sara22: devices with a Zydas chipset tend to be cheap and work well
[22:06] <danbh_intrepid> matrix: did you get a long list of packages?
[22:07] <soundray> Sara22: oh, have you checked that it's enabled in the BIOS setup?
[22:07] <matrix> nah not really 10-20 files something like that
[22:07] <Krumar> soundray, i'm looking to replicate what the second guy in this post did http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-86394.html
[22:07] <Flannel> foo: did you change your sources.list to hardy?
[22:07] <foo> Flannel: nope
[22:07] <foo> Flannel: http://ward.vandewege.net/blog/2008/07/upgrading-from-dapper-to-hardy-hash-sum-mismatch/ - where I read that from
[22:07] <Flannel> foo: hmm, check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for a hardy-ish one
[22:07] <danbh_intrepid> matrix: you probably forgot the ^, try running it with the ^
[22:08] <foo> Flannel: Using the .-d. flag now causes Packages.bz2 and Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch.s. .sudo do-release-upgrade. by itself now works
[22:08] <Sara22> soundray: well when I log in to vista it works wirelessly.  I don't know how to check in bios in ubuntu
[22:08] <foo> Flannel: (quoted from that page)
[22:08] <matrix> aha i thought you just added a funny thing there
[22:08] <hacked_kernel> I need a firefox plugin that play video files with extension asx and supports seeking, mplayer plugin is working but with no seeking, any help?
[22:08] <Flannel> foo: That's because the -d is probably trying to get Intrepid sources.

[22:08] <EsKDarkman> server on
[22:08] <Flannel> foo: or, maybe checking the hash values against intrepid
[22:08] <foo> Flannel: hm, now I have hardy... but prior to do-release-upgrade, I didn't. 100% sure, because these were my sources: http://x03.ath.cx/temp/sources.list

[22:10] <soundray> Sara22: okay, if it works in Windows, it's not turned off completely. Do you have an LED on your laptop that indicates the wireless on/off state?

[22:12] <soundray> Sara22: put it on a pastebin if you want me to see it
[22:12] <adityag> i installed xubuntu-desktop from synaptic......now i want to remove it what do i do ? just unmark it from synaptic and then apply ?
[22:12] <hacked_kernel> I need a firefox plugin that play video files with extension asx and supports seeking, mplayer plugin is working but with no seeking, any help?
[22:12] <danbh_intrepid> EsKDarkman and PiercedWolf are spamming

[22:12] <PiercedWolf> danbh_intrepid, what you say?
[22:12] <PiercedWolf> what spam i sent?
[22:13] <Sara22> soundray i am brand new to ubuntu.  1 day total.   I dont know what dmesg means
[22:13] <soundray> PiercedWolf: you know very well, you're repeatedly posting the same nonsense
[22:13] <danbh_intrepid> PiercedWolf: (05:10:01 PM) PiercedWolf: Boooooooooom!
[22:13] <Sara22> sorry dumb blond here soundray
[22:13] <soundray> Sara22: :) but you've worked with a terminal, so you've made major inroads already. Type dmesg in a terminal and hit return
[22:13] <PiercedWolf> danbh_intrepid, its triggers
[22:13] <opt1k> hi everyone
[22:13] <PiercedWolf> one sec
[22:13] <definitely> is UFW turned ON by default in Ubuntu Hardy Heron or isnt ?
[22:13] <adityag> i installed xubuntu-desktop from synaptic on ubuntu 8.04......now i want to remove it what do i do ? just unmark it from synaptic and then apply ?
[22:13] <lap> hi everyone
[22:13] <PiercedWolf> bitx perl script
[22:13] <PiercedWolf> for xchat
[22:14] <Sara22> soundray: oh ok!
[22:14] <PiercedWolf> some things are auto
[22:14] <Flannel> PiercedWolf: Please turn it off
[22:14] <anthonyplay> bonsoir
[22:14] <PiercedWolf> one sec
[22:14] <PiercedWolf> im on it
[22:14] <PiercedWolf> triggers off
[22:14] <opt1k> adityag: yes, either that or sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-destkop
[22:14] <soundray> Sara22: then open the page that ubottu sent, mark the dmesg output with your mouse, and paste it into the web form with the middle mouse button.
[22:14] <lap> since i got my dual-head working with nvidia, i cant see all my workspace with the expo plugin in compiz, i'm only able to see the fourth first, how can I see the fourth other on the left ?
[22:15] <definitely> IS UFW turned ON by default or ISNT ?
[22:15] <Sara22> soundray: ok here is the link but I dont think it got all of it http://paste.ubuntu.com/46716/
[22:15] <adityag> opt1k: i want a kde environment over already installed ubuntu , is it possible ?
[22:16] <Flannel> adityag: install the kubuntu-desktop package
[22:16] <starenka> definitely: off
[22:16] <opt1k> adityag: try kubuntu-desktop
[22:16] <starenka> definitely: sudo ufw status
[22:16] <adityag> opt1k: "sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-destkop" will this remove all the dependent files ?
[22:16] <opt1k> !kde
[22:17] <Hirosz> jest ktos z polski??
[22:17] <soundray> Sara22: oh, you've installed ndiswrapper?
[22:17] <matrix> are you there dan-interpeted
[22:17] <Flannel> !pl | Hirosz
[22:17] <definitely> starenka: I know how to see status, i turned it on for testing command, but dunno what it was by default :S
[22:17] <opt1k> adityag: you'll have to do sudo apt-get autoremove after sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop
[22:17] <Sara22> soundray: yes someone last night had me do that
[22:17] <starenka> definitely: i told ya it
[22:17] <starenka> definitely: it's off by defualt
[22:17] <Sara22> soundray: i then got the xp driver and installed it
[22:17] <definitely> starenka: ok another quesstion is UFW controling IP Tables ?
[22:18] <alec> i have and older macbook G4, i want to install linux on it, i only have experience with ubuntu, what would be the best distro for me to install?
[22:18] <matrix> yes it worked i did that sudo apt-get install desktop^ now my ubuntu is WORKING
[22:18] <biasss> okay on my other computer i can just mount my extra hdd no problem.. btu when i installed ubuntu on this one it didnt work...so i tried to use the storage device manager but no lukc... now when i try to mount my hdd it says CANNOT mount volume. You are not priveleged to mount the volume
[22:18] <erUSUL> alec: ubuntu ppc? i think there are community supported versions
[22:18] <erUSUL> !ppc | alec
[22:18] <opt1k> where do i get ubuntu kernel?
[22:18] <soundray> Sara22: okay, let's build on that, then. Run 'ifconfig' and tell me if it displays a section called wlan0
[22:18] <adityag> opt1k: Flannel: i have a kubuntu cd, i'll save on bandwidth if i could install frm the cd
[22:18] <starenka> definitely: dunno
[22:19] <Flannel> adityag: Do you have the alternate CD or the desktop CD?
[22:19] <erUSUL> alec: or debian ppc
[22:19] <biasss> and i also used the ntfs configuration tool
[22:19] <opt1k> adityag: well, then do a clean install of kubuntu =) (just migrate your files to the kubuntu installation first)
[22:19] <definitely> starenka: ok
[22:19] <biasss> im on ubuntu 8.04 on both computers too... if that helps
[22:19] <Sara22> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46717/
[22:20] <starenka> definitely: seems it does http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/04/why-ufw-does-not-need-a-gui/
[22:20] <adityag> Flannel: whats the difference between those ?
[22:20] <adityag> opt1k: how do i migrate my files to the kubuntu installation first
[22:20] <alec> thanks.
[22:20] <Flannel> adityag: The desktop CD is a liveCD, it doesn't have packages on it.  The alternate CD will allow you to install from the CD
[22:20] <definitely> starenka ok thnx for info :)
[22:21] <Flannel> adityag: Mind you, however, that even if you install from the CD, you'll need to upgrade to the latest packages.  So you won't really save much bandwidth, if any.
[22:21] <soundray> Sara22: do you have nm-applet running? If you do, there will be a network symbol on the right of the top panel.
[22:21] <starenka> definitely: np
[22:22] <Sara22> soundray: i dont know what the applet is.  but I do have two monitor icons... and when I hover over them it says WIRED network connection
[22:22] <adityag> Flannel: okk
[22:22] <opt1k> adityag: i think that kubuntu installer actually asks you if you want to migrate some file. i know that ubuntu installer does that.
[22:23] <pretender_> does any one know of a alternative to cdlabel in ubuntu http://www.cdrlabel.com/
[22:23] <soundray> Sara22: click on that and tell me if it shows anything about wireless networks (apart from the wired network item)
[22:23] <Krumar> soundray, thank you, from that folder i found nvidia-xconfig which was able to set up my xorg.conf file for me works great now, thanks again
[22:23] <soundray> Krumar: wow, well done
[22:23] <opt1k> !mono > opt1k
[22:23] <Krumar> soundray, you too, have a great day
[22:23] <soundray> Krumar: thanks
[22:23] <larson9999> i swear these days nothing works in ubuntu or it's harder to set up in ubuntu than other distros.
[22:24] <opt1k> !c > opt1k
[22:24] <adityag>  opt1k: "sudo apt-get autoremove after sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop" just removed 1 package while i installed 83 packages
[22:24] <Flannel> larson9999: Do you have a question?
[22:24] <soundray> larson9999: yes, ubuntu makes everything a little harder. That's why it's the most popular distribution
[22:24] <opt1k> adityag: it removed the packages you do not longer need
[22:24] <Sara22> soundray: yes it lists my essid.. with a few bars.  But when i chose that radio button for (wireless) and put in password along with WPA, it goes to zero
[22:25] <opt1k> !kernel > opt1k
[22:25] <larson9999> Flannel, sure, why does it take fifty steps to get ffmpeg working?
[22:26] <soundray> Sara22: even if you move closer to your router with the laptop?
[22:26] <Flannel> larson9999: Please try and keep this channel support related only, #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to go if you want to complain.
[22:26] <soundray> larson9999: have you tried 'sudo apt-get install ffmpeg'?
[22:26] <opt1k> !fakeroot > opt1k
[22:26] <Sara22> soundray:  I am right next to the router.  Before I put in the password, at least 70 percent of the bars are highlighted
[22:27] <larson9999> soundray the repo is so old it's not worth using.
[22:27] <opt1k> !vi > opt1k
[22:27] <maniheer> larson9999, ur making it hard 4 urself
[22:27] <opt1k> !emacs > opt1k
[22:27] <opt1k> !pico > opt1k
[22:27] <maniheer> opt1k, wat r u doin?
[22:28] <opt1k> maniheer: just getting some info to my pm
[22:28] <Flannel> opt1k: You can query ubottu
[22:28] <soundray> larson9999: what's in new versions that ubuntu's version doesn't offer?
[22:28] <opt1k> Flannel: how do i do that? via /msg?
[22:28] <soundray> Sara22: that's a difficult one
[22:28] <Flannel> opt1k: yeah, just say the factoid in a query.
[22:28] <opt1k> Flannel: ty
[22:29] <Sara22> soundray: could it be that it wont work with WPA but will with WEP?  I thought I read that somewhere
[22:29] <SOG> Is there a laptop version of Ubuntu ?
[22:29] <soundray> Sara22: it's possible, but I don't think so. If you change your router setup to WEP, take additional protection measures, like MAC filtering
[22:30] <maniheer> SOG, no special CD for a laptop
[22:30] <maniheer> SOG, but the normal one should work
[22:30] <Sara22> soundray: hmm i really really want to use WPA cuz i just upgraded router to have it work with WPA
[22:30] <soundray> Sara22: how would waiting for the October release sound to you? Would you abandon Ubuntu in the meantime, or could you do with wired ethernet until then?
[22:30] <what_if> i am upgrading from ubuntu 7.04 to 8.04 but must upgrade to 7.10 first. should I just download an 8.04 disk and to a full instead of an in place upgrade ?
[22:31] <soundray> what_if: if in doubt, do a fresh installation
[22:31] <starn> does anybody know why when i run teamspeak like this "padsp teamspeak" the sound is really buggy and chopy? for my mic and stuff but runing teamspeak normaling "teamspeak" using oss it works fine. i want to be able to hear my in game sound and people to hear me. and understand. if i recall i have ALSA or w/e which ever one comes with hardy.
[22:31] <Sara22> soundray: if i must then I will wait.  only thing is that the default theme is not as beautiful as the ones I seen on youtube that made me switch :)
[22:31] <hydroponic> I'm having some trouble with setting up dual screen. My second monitor is detected and I can edit the settings, but nothing gets displayed on the second monitor. It just remains in standby (on but no display). Using nvidia-settings
[22:31] <what_if> soundray: will do, downloading an 8.04 disk then :)
[22:32] <SOG> maniheer: but I have problems installing.. um... trying to find out what I can do now... I have a PCMCIA CD-EOM
[22:32] <soundray> what_if: consider setting up a separate /home if you don't have one yet
[22:32] <SOG> ROM*

[22:32] <soundray> !separatehome > what_if

[22:32] <soundray> Sara22: that made you switch from what to what?
[22:33] <EsKDarkman> funny 7on7
[22:33] <EsKDarkman> server on
[22:33] <Sara22> i went from vista to ubuntu last night :)
[22:33] <EsKDarkman> cod2
[22:33] <Sara22> soundray: from vista to ubuntu
[22:33] <soundray> Sara22: well done :)
[22:33] <what_if> soundray: will do. by the way... what filesystem would you recommend for a laptop? reiserfs? ext3? other ?
[22:33] <soundray> what_if: ext3
[22:33] <EsKDarkman> Hi funny 7on7 server on cod2
[22:33] <k0de> Where can I get a complete list of the restricted packages?
[22:34] <huayra> k0de, you can get a list by installing virtual RMS
[22:34] <Sara22> soundray: thx for all your help.  btw, i am using xchat.  is that the best irc client on ubuntu?
[22:34] <huayra> sudo apt-get install vrms
[22:34] <k0de> k
[22:34] <huayra> that little program tells you what software is not free according to the FSF
[22:34] <larson9999> maniheer, i installed it but it's too much.
[22:34] <opt1k> Does Mono have the possibility to draw elements, like in Visual Studio, or you just have to code everything?
[22:35] <rojanu> Hi everyone! How can I lock my CD/DVD drives (disable Eject button) and open them via hotkey
[22:35] <Sara22> soundray: thx yeah I think ubuntu is so much better than vista and xp
[22:35] <soundray> Sara22: there is no best, really. Many people like irssi (runs in terminal), I used to run xchat, now I have xchat-gnome. Pidgin is very popular, too
[22:35] <EsKDarkman> Hy 7on7 funny cod2 server on
[22:35] <huayra> opt1k, maybe you can give glade UI designer a try. You draw and gives you the code :)
[22:36] <Sara22> soundray: yeah thats what I have now (xchat gnome)
[22:36] <opt1k> huayra: Glade as in Python Glade? =)
[22:36] <josh-> hello all
[22:36] <huayra> you can use it with mono AFAIK even though I have not used that myself
[22:36] <starn> does anybody know why when i run teamspeak like this "padsp teamspeak" the sound is really buggy and chopy? for my mic and stuff but runing teamspeak normaling "teamspeak" using oss it works fine. i want to be able to hear my in game sound and people to hear me. and understand. if i recall i have ALSA or w/e which ever one comes with hardy.
[22:36] <josh-> i really need help!
[22:36] <Sara22> soundray: maybe I am shallow but I like pretty interfaces.
[22:36] <gmoney> hello, I have setup a dual boot with vista and ubuntu. After installing ubuntu, I can no longer boot vista. I select it in the grub menu and the screen flashes for a second and brings me right back to the grub menu. I can only boot ubuntu, can anyone help?
[22:36] <Rakeer> What terminal command returns current installed release?
[22:36] <huayra> yeah, maybe it is just for python...
[22:37] <opt1k> huayra: ty anyway, i'll go and check it out =)
[22:37] <huayra> glade.gnome.org
[22:37] <Sara22> soundray: do you still have default theme, wallpaper, etc on your machine?
[22:37] <soundray> Sara22: shallow dumb blonde... are you a bit too self-critical?
[22:37] <soundray> Sara22: :)
[22:37] <gmoney> !vista
[22:37] <gmoney> !dualboot
[22:38] <soundray> Sara22: yes, I work on various different machines, and I don't want to go through too many personalization steps all those times
[22:38] <opt1k> huayra: do you maybe know of any deb's for glade?
[22:38] <josh-> can i reset the root password by rebooting to single user?
[22:38] <soundray> josh-: yes, but it's not recommended
[22:38] <Flannel> josh-: Why do you want to set the root password?
[22:38] <huayra> it is in the repository
[22:38] <sloopy> Rakeer, there is a file in /etc which should have the version installed
[22:39] <josh-> Flannel: i have screwed up my box basically, i dont really know how but i cannot sudo to root.
[22:39] <Sara22> soundray: ok thx for your help.  I am gonna go read up on how to change my theme.
[22:39] <Sara22> soundray: hopefully that will hold me til october
[22:39] <Flannel> josh-: What does it say when you try and use sudo?
[22:39] <soundray> !theme > Sara22
[22:39] <wineo> hey, how do i put a partition on my drive, i used the entire thing to install ubuntu, and i want to use some left overs to make a partition
[22:39] <josh-> pam authentication errors
[22:39] <gmoney> !grub
[22:39] <huayra> opt1k, try to install it through synaptic or aptitude (search for glade)
[22:39] <Sara22> soundray: thx!!
[22:40] <josh-> Flannel: pam authentication errors
[22:40] <opt1k> huayra: I doubt that synaptic has the latest version tho
[22:40] <Rakeer> sloopy: what will it be called?
[22:40] <c0mp13371331337> wineo: You can boot from a CD/USB key with gparted live installed, and make the changes with that.
[22:40] <huayra> If you are in Hardy I bet you do
[22:40] <huayra> I am in intrepid so I could tell
[22:40] <Flannel> josh-: Well, you can reboot to single user mode and fix it there, but you don't need to set a root password.
[22:40] <sloopy> Rakeer, i dont rem, not to mention i am more familiar with fc then [ kx]ubuntu
[22:40] <huayra> but it was released in december, so it shoudl be therew opt1k
[22:40] <rojanu> Rakeer: command is  lsb_release  -a
[22:40] <Rakeer> ty
[22:41] <huayra> as long as you have the universe repository active
[22:41] <opt1k> huayra: what does intrepid feel like? =)
[22:41] <wineo> c0mp13371331337: does the ubnutu cd have it? or do i have to do it myself?
[22:41] <soundray> wineo: you can shrink the / partition that ubuntu set up for itself. Boot from a live CD and run 'gksudo gparted' (don't try to shrink a partition while you're booted from it)
[22:41] <dame> i have some unknow camera and ive installed v4l drivers that ive installed via easycam. i can only see the capturing via cheese but the image is very dark. any help?
[22:41] <huayra> nm 0.7 is the most awesome piece of software I have seen in ages and I have really been looking forward to get it as standard
[22:41] <rojanu> Rakeer: FYI file is /etc/lsb-release
[22:41] <fyrestrtr> dame: turn on the lights?
[22:41] <wineo> soundray: ok thnkas i will try that
[22:41] <c0mp13371331337> wineo: I believe you can use the ubuntu CD, but I've never personally gone that route.  Easiest for me is just to use a gparted live CD.
[22:42] <Kris07> Hi, I just ran the Hardy Heron upgrade, and now all of my vids are lagging. How can I fix this lag?
[22:42] <dame> fyrestrtr: i can see only the lamp XD
[22:42] <soundray> wineo: the Ubuntu live CD has gparted.
[22:42] <huayra> so connectivity wise intrepid rocks, the new theme (dark) is very nice too opt1k. And the system feels pretty solid already. Been using it for over 2 months I think
[22:42] <fyrestrtr> Kris07: define 'lagging'
[22:42] <rojanu> I am going to repeat my question I know it is possible but How can I lock my CD/DVD drives (disable Eject button) and open them via hotkey
[22:42] <wineo> soundray: alright will give this a shot, hopefully i wont be back
[22:43] <Kris07> Fyrestrtr, They're slow, and choppy. No matter how much I let it buffer.
[22:43] <soundray> huayra: well done, but this channel is really for released versions.  Anyone know a fix?
[22:43] <huayra> ok, sorry soundray
[22:43] <fyrestrtr> and firefox hangs YET AGAIN.
[22:43] <fyrestrtr> :/
[22:43] <dame> luvcview says Unable to set format: 22. with cheese its very dark and the lights are turned on :)
[22:43] <soundray> huayra: :)
[22:44] <opt1k> huayra: that's nice.. i can't wait for the next month for intrepid to go official
[22:44] <Kris07> Fyrestrtr, I believe so. Everything worked fine until i did the upgrade. And when I did the upgrade I didn't change a thing.
[22:44] <huayra> I can't wait to get my fingers on Jaunty... I just like living in the edge ;)
[22:44] <fyrestrtr> Kris07: choppy videos could mean you are running without hardware acceleration.
[22:44] <starn> is there a fix for teamspeak and padsp with alot of echo's when you key in to talk.
[22:44] <gmoney> !install grub
[22:45] <huayra> ok enough
[22:45] <huayra> hope glade helps you
[22:45] <fyrestrtr> !grub > gmoney
[22:45] <huayra> good luck opt1k
[22:45] <Kris07> Fyrestrtr, So what should I do?
[22:45] <rimdeker> Hey folks
[22:45] <opt1k> huayra: ty, i'm trying to figure out which version is in repos
[22:45] <fyrestrtr> Kris07: try glxinfo | grep -i direct
[22:46] <opt1k> it says libglade2-dev so i think i'll have to compile it tho
[22:46] <aznanimedude> what is this stupid bonobo-activation-server xD
[22:46] <aznanimedude> my desktop randomly will just lose all the icons and it tells me nautilus won't work
[22:46] <fyrestrtr> opt1k: 3.4.5
[22:46] <Kris07> Fyrestrtr, The reply I was given was "Direct Rendering: Yes"
[22:46] <dendrofil> How can I check if my X server "supports DGA"? I have no clue about what DGA is. (using old GeForce 2 nvidia)
[22:47] <fyrestrtr> opt1k: sudo apt-get install glade-3 glade-gnome-3
[22:47] <fyrestrtr> Kris07: don't know bud :(
[22:47] <opt1k> fyrestrtr: thanks a lot
[22:47] <Jowi> hi, xfce4-panel does not have composite shadow. all other windows work. Anyone know a fix?
[22:47] <FFF---FFF> hi
[22:47] <Kris07> Fyrestrtr, Damn. Thanks for trying man.
[22:49] <larson9999> soundray for starters you can't use that one for licensing reasons.
[22:49] <Jowi> aznanimedude, do you have the same problem with another user on the system? (if you only have one user, try creating a new user to see if the problem is related to the system or the user)
[22:49] <larson9999> seems like the flash upgrade is working halfway decently.
[22:49] <opt1k> ok, i'm going away from irc for a bit longer period, trying out glide =)
[22:50] <josh-> Flannel: it keeps telling me "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory"
[22:50] <soundray> larson9999: I'm sure I can
[22:50] <josh-> when i try to su to root its telling me "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory"  how can i fix this? :-/
[22:51] <josh-> i have tried su'ing to different shells etc etc no joy.
[22:51] <soundray> josh-: you shouldn't su to root
[22:51] <wolfjb> !dvd
[22:51] <soundray> josh-: what are you trying to to?
[22:51] <larson9999> soundray was giving me libmp3lame errors.  compiling the new version corrected that.
[22:51] <Flannel> josh-: Just use the recovery console.
[22:51] <josh-> soundray: if the truth be told i am helping a friend.
[22:51] <soundray> josh-: to do what?
[22:51] <josh-> Flannel: problem is i dont really know what needs to be fixed
[22:51] <rojanu> josh: try sudo -i
[22:52] <josh-> yah no dice
[22:52] <soundray> josh-: what is the problem?
[22:53] <josh-> soundray: im not really sure all the commands he ran at this point but basically the shell was changed to zsh and then chnged back but the command ran was chsh -s bash instead of the full path. now he cannot sudo to root
[22:53] <wolfjb> !Medibuntu
[22:53] <biasss> is it possible to resize my filesystem while runnin ubuntu?
[22:54] <fyrestrtr> biasss: not the active filesystem.
[22:54] <Rakeer> How do I commit a "run" from the gui?
[22:54] <fyrestrtr> josh-: source /etc/profile
[22:54] <josh-> as user?
[22:55] <josh-> fyrestrtr:
[22:55] <hvgotcodes> 1) how do i take a screenshot from command line? 2) how do i use apt-get or command line to search for a package?
[22:55] <fyrestrtr> yes, if you are having problems with sudo.
[22:55] <soundray> hvgotcodes: please ask one question at a time. 1) use xwd
[22:55] <soundray> hvgotcodes: 2) apt-cache search searchstring
[22:55] <rpeck> DC++
[22:55] <fyrestrtr> hvgotcodes: 1. gnome-screenshot 2. apt-cache search
[22:56] <EruditeHermit> hi, I hosed my filesystem and I have a bad superblock, can anyone help?
[22:56] <fyrestrtr> EruditeHermit: have a backup?
[22:56] <EruditeHermit> fyrestrtr: no
[22:56] <hvgotcodes> soundray: now does the searchstring have to be exact?
[22:56] <fyrestrtr> EruditeHermit: good luck.
[22:57] <soundray> hvgotcodes: yes
[22:57] <arooni> do amd x2 4200 (i.e.: http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ads/2008/09/12/35704/Compaq-Presario-SR5505F-Desktop-PC-AMD-Athlon-X2-4200-Dual-Core-Processor) generally work with ubuntu & linux?
[22:57] <hvgotcodes> soundray: what if you don't know the name of the package?
[22:57] <josh-> fyrestrtr: not sure what that does for this problem but i still cant get root. :-(
[22:57] <soundray> arooni: yes
[22:57] <Flannel> hvgotcodes: apt-cache search is how you search for that (it searches descriptions, etc)
[22:57] <fyrestrtr> hvgotcodes: it searching package names and descriptions.
[22:58] <hvgotcodes> ok thanx guys
[22:58] <fyrestrtr> josh-: what is the error?
[22:58] <josh-> well there are two different ones, im not sure which is relevant
[22:58] <josh-> fyrestrtr: Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory
[22:58] <josh-> is one of them
[22:58] <Qster> josh why cant u just use sudo?
[22:58] <josh-> the other one is a pam error, but i think the problem is with the shell
[22:59] <josh-> Qster: sudo is not working.
[22:59] <fyrestrtr> josh-: /usr/bin/sudo su -
[22:59] <fyrestrtr> josh-: what shell are you on now?
[22:59] <josh-> zsh
[22:59] <fyrestrtr> I feel for you.
[22:59] <soundray> fyrestrtr: :D
[22:59] <josh-> ;-/
[22:59] <josh-> anyway
[22:59] <fyrestrtr> josh-: just type /bin/bash
[23:00] <josh-> no dice on that
[23:00] <opt1k> how do I enter the code view in GladeUI?
[23:00] <EruditeHermit> fyrestrtr: will e2fsck -b backup superblock /dev/sda1 work?
[23:00] <jacklake> Hello - I can't make my soundcard works...
[23:00] <soundray> josh-: are you sure it's worth working on this badly hacked system? A reinstall might make everything nice and easy
[23:00] <spastic_teapot> Does anyone know how to get the IP address of the wireless access point you're connected to?
[23:00] <fyrestrtr> EruditeHermit: I don't know buddy, I never used it myself.
[23:01] <fyrestrtr> josh-: what is the result after /bin/bash ?
[23:01] <mib_6c2p3th2> hey how do i find ubuntu+1?
[23:01] <josh-> soundray: it was a simple mistake of some sort, this 'badly hacked system' was and still is a perfectly good system that has many happy users. :-)
[23:01] <Flannel> mib_6c2p3th2: /join #ubuntu+1
[23:01] <jacklake> I'm a complety newbie and it's kinda makes me nervous...
[23:01] <soundray> mib_6c2p3th2: type /join #ubuntu+1
[23:01] <mib_6c2p3th2> thank you
[23:01] <sloopy> spastic_teapot, 'route -n' it 'probly' is the gateway ip
[23:01] <josh-> soundray: it was a simple mistake of some sort, this 'badly hacked system' was and still is a perfectly good system that was working fine 20 minutes ago* and has many happy users. :-)
[23:01] <josh-> fyrestrtr: bash works okay for me
[23:02] <fyrestrtr> josh-: once you are in bash, type source /etc/profile
[23:02] <hazrd11> IS it possible to starta irssi with a constant size every time? (different from just the gnome-terminals size?
[23:02] <josh-> ok
[23:02] <Krauss> Ok, I installed Cmake
[23:02] <hazrd11> with like some -geometry flag or w/e
[23:02] <soundray> Krauss: oh no, not you again
[23:02] <fyrestrtr> hazrd11: start it in its own shell.
[23:02] <spastic_teapot> sloopy: I'm trying to follow this procedure: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Range_Expanders&message.id=755.
[23:03] <josh-> fyrestrtr: done .. /usr/bin/sudo su - still no go

[23:03] <fyrestrtr> josh-: what's the error now?
[23:03] <Krauss> soundray: Haha, hey there
[23:03] <spastic_teapot> sloopy: Under Network-Manager, I set "manual configuration", the SSID, and the recommended IP addresses.

[23:03] <Krauss> soundray: I'm trying to install LMMS, but it's saying I don't have a certain file
[23:03] <jacklake> Helo there - I install ubuntu at my notebook - ht pavilion tx2075br - and the sound card doesn't works. May someone help me ??
[23:04] <Krauss> soundray: related to Cmake
[23:04] <mib_6c2p3th2> i am way over my head
[23:04] <sloopy> what happened when you typed that ip into the browser?
[23:04] <soundray> Krauss: aren't you installing it from the Ubuntu package?
[23:04] <fyrestrtr> jacklake: have you checked the LaptopTestingTeam pages to see if someone has already tested it on your notebook?
[23:04] <soundray> Krauss: 'sudo apt-get install lmms'?
[23:04] <Krauss> soundray: Huh? I tried that.
[23:05] <Krauss> soundray: lmms didn't show up
[23:05] <DONATO> HAI
[23:05] <josh-> fyrestrtr: my apologies, the person i have trying to help has gone afk ;-/
[23:05] <jacklake> fyrestrtr well as I've said before - I'm kinda ENTERILY new at it...
[23:05] <fyrestrtr> well, you should go to the wiki and read some pages.
[23:05] <fyrestrtr> !Hardware
[23:05] <cheeky> does anyone reccomend deluge fora good client or is there something better ?
[23:05] <Krauss> soundray: Ohhh kay. it says lmms is already the newest version.
[23:06] <mib_6c2p3th2> does the wiki help you if you have an olive screen after you login
[23:06] <jacklake> fyrestrtr I don't even know what are you talking about...
[23:06] <Krauss> soundray: But I can't find it
[23:06] <soundray> Krauss: Hit Alt-F2 and enter lmms
[23:06] <hazrd11> fyrestrtr, what do u mean by in its own shell? Oo I mean.. im starting it in a shell but everytime i start a shell the size gets set to its default..
[23:06] <hazrd11> I want to make the size of irssi constant
[23:06] <fyrestrtr> hazrd11: I mean, start irssi in a separate shell program (not gnome-terminal)
[23:06] <Scunizi> IL just installed etherape and notice that yo-in-f99.google.com ping me a lot
[23:06] <Krauss> soundray: Ok, did that, thanks a bllioni
[23:06] <Scunizi> any ideas what it is?
[23:06] <fyrestrtr> hazrd11: and in THAT, set your geometry as you like.
[23:07] <hazrd11> i c.. oO
[23:07] <josh-> hazrd11: make an icon and in the command window put your favourite shell with arguments for the size.
[23:07] <Thedjatclubrock> Read this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/45095
[23:07] <Thedjatclubrock> Anyone aggree?
[23:07] <hazrd11> any recommendations of some shell?
[23:07] <soundray> Krauss: not all programs install themselves to the menus. If you have one like this, on the example of lmms, do a 'dpkg -L lmms | grep bin' and it will show you the executable files

[23:12] <Thedjatclubrock> fsck rather
[23:12] <jacklake> ... hello?
[23:12] <EruditeHermit> Thedjatclubrock: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 14273744 blocks
[23:12] <EruditeHermit> The physical size of the device is 12446208 blocks
[23:12] <EruditeHermit> Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
[23:12] <Thedjatclubrock> EruditeHermit: fsck /path/to/disk
[23:12] <kito0> hello
[23:12] <Thedjatclubrock> EruditeHermit: Does it still work?
[23:13] <EruditeHermit> Thedjatclubrock: does what work?
[23:13] <Thedjatclubrock> EruditeHermit: The FS?
[23:13] <darren_> hi can any one help i was following some advice on the internet and now when i bootup i have to type startx does any one know how to get it back to normal
[23:13] <EruditeHermit> Thedjatclubrock: well I can mount it but it is really damaged
[23:13] <EruditeHermit> Thedjatclubrock: my files are missing
[23:13] <darren_> ps deleted alsa and reinstalled
[23:13] <josh-> darren_: most likely it is your gdm or kdm login managers that are not starting up.
[23:13] <EruditeHermit> Thedjatclubrock: how do I repair the partition table and superblock?
[23:14] <Thedjatclubrock> EruditeHermit: You can try fsck /path/to/disk/ -fy while unmounted, but your data status is questionable.
[23:14] <soundray> darren_: depends on what happened -- but try 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults'
[23:14] <darren_> ok thanks to you both will try it
[23:15] <josh-> thanks to soundray, i offered no decent advice. :p
[23:16] <soundray> josh-: hey, it's not my fault that you didn't offer decent advice ;)
[23:16] <darren_> Soundray ok when i type that i get sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[23:17] <EruditeHermit> Thedjatclubrock: private message
[23:17] <sloopy> josh, answer this question and you will have helped someone...
[23:17] <hazrd11> ok lemme rephrase my question then, can some1 tell me about a good terminal
[23:17] <hazrd11> (ye the app)
[23:17] <sloopy> i have a machine the HD will show up in BIOS but when i use the ubuntu installer it says there are no HD's in the system
[23:17] <sloopy> but the ata controller does show up with 'lspci'
[23:18] <fyrestrtr> sloopy: what is the interface of the disk to the bus?
[23:18] <kito0> i have a problem tryng to put new programs al startup
[23:18] <sloopy> ata-66
[23:18] <mib_6c2p3th2> test
[23:18] <soundray> kito0: for example?
[23:19] <kito0> pidgin
[23:19] <fyrestrtr> and you are not using any emulators in BIOS or something? Its not PATA pretending to be SATA pretending to be IDE?
[23:19] <kito0> gnome-do
[23:19] <soundray> kito0: you want to run pidgin automatically when you log in?
[23:19] <kito0> yes
[23:20] <sloopy> nope plain pata all the way
[23:20] <soundray> kito0: go to System-Preferences-Session and add pidgin to the list of startup programs
[23:20] <jacklake> err... hello there? I still need help? Don't wanna be annoying (I'm sure Am) but, guys, please. heelp me?
[23:20] <kito0> that is what i have done
[23:20] <soundray> jacklake: if you didn't get a response, just repeat your question after 15 minutes or so
[23:21] <kito0> but when i review it my entries dont apear
[23:21] <jacklake> soundray - welll it's a start - THAKS a LOT!!!! ;)
[23:21] <Dante123> hi all, wanting to go from my pc that has radeon 9250 (although lspci says 9200 pro) with s-video out into a tv with s-video input.  When I try this, I do see text on the tv screen when first booting (very jumpy however) but when system loads the screen goes black.  My cable is 4 pin (although I notice that from the graphics card there are seven holes for 7 pin cable)....any ideas?
[23:21] <Slart> jacklake: make sure you include as much info as you have in your question.. in other words make it easy for people to answer you
[23:22] <Dante123> Was told not to go higher than 800 x 600....and keep refresh rate at 60 hz which is tv standard.....still no go?  Any ideas?
[23:22] <Dante123> is there something in ubuntu for tv out or using tv as second monitor????
[23:22] <soundray> Dante123: I think there's a factoid for it...
[23:22] <soundray> !tvout | Dante123
[23:23] <jacklake> Hello there - I've install ubuntu 64 bits at a notebook HP tx2075br AND the soundcard doesn't work. ALSO I'm complety newbie at it so don't send me to read something OR strange commands at places I might not even know it exist... I just want to make the sound work for a start ;)
[23:23] <Dante123> Uh. oh...sounds like trouble
[23:23] <sloopy> jacklake, when stuff doesnt work those are the places where the answers usually are...
[23:23] <Slart> jacklake: I'm not really good with ALSA (Alsa is the linux sound system ubuntu uses) but I can help you check if ALSA has found your soundcard or not
[23:24] <jacklake> how do I know if it find or not?
[23:24] <Slart> jacklake: run this in a terminal "cat /proc/asound/cards"
[23:24] <jacklake> Slart just a sec
[23:24] <Slart> jacklake: either you get nothing.. or a list of soundcards in your system
[23:25] <bert1> hi, does anyone know an application that can replace iTunes??? (particular the compress to 128kbps function of iTunes) ???
[23:25] <jacklake> Slart that's the answer -  HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
[23:25] <jacklake>                       HDA NVidia at 0xc3020000 irq 17
[23:25] <gnu> re
[23:25] <Phantomas> hello how can i log the commands that a remote user typed to my ssh server ?
[23:25] <soundray> kito0: please open a terminal and run 'tail -f ~/.xsession-errors'. Then go to the sessions dialog and see if any errors are shown in the terminal when you try to add pidgin to the startup list.
[23:25] <Slart> jacklake: ok, that's good.. don't paste stuff here in the channel.. you'll only get kicked for flooding
[23:26] <Slart> jacklake: so this means Alsa has found your card and identified it.. HDA-Intel is a very common sound chip these days.. it should work without much work
[23:28] <kito0> ** (gnome-session-properties:7125): WARNING **: Could not save /home/** (gnome-session-properties:7125): WARNING **: Could not save /home/kito0/.config/autostart/pidgin.desktop file
[23:29] <spunk> The sound is good when using Totem but stutters with VLC. I need to use VLC as totem does not handly my DVD well. Any suggestions on how to make VLC play nice?
[23:29] <soundray> kito0: I said "look". Do not paste error messages here
[23:29] <kito0> that's what it says
[23:29] <kito0> ok
[23:29] <kito0> sorry
[23:29] <Guest71824> oing
[23:30] <kito0> so what can i do?
[23:30] <soundray> kito0: now please run 'ls -ld /home/kito0/.config' and tell me if it is owned by root or by kito0
[23:30] <WDC> Hey what's the easiest to set up mail server for Ubuntu?
[23:30] <Flannel> WDC: tasksel
[23:31] <Guest71824> postfic
[23:31] <Guest71824> postfix
[23:31] <spunk> WDC, postfix is a really nice server. good documentation.
[23:31] <kito0> i don't know how to see that
[23:31] <WDC> Flannel: Is that POP3 and SMTP in one?
[23:31] <WDC> spunk: And same question
[23:31] <soundray> kito0: look at the output of the command. It will be obvious.
[23:31] <Flannel> WDC: tasksel is a way to install stuff.  But, what sort of mail server are you looking for?
[23:32] <spunk> WDC: no. I use Dovecot for IMAP.
[23:32] <Flannel> WDC: Looking to recieve and send? or just one? or what?
[23:32] <soundray> kito0: does it contain "root root" or "kito0 kito0"?
[23:32] <WDC> Flannel: Just a basic personal deal. POP3 and SMTP
[23:32] <Flannel> WDC: ah, you want dovecot
[23:32] <kito0> 'kito0 kito0'
[23:32] <EruditeHermit> can anyone help me to fix a partition table and a bad superblock?
[23:32]  * WDC looks at dovecot
[23:32] <WDC> Flannel: Does it have a GUI?
[23:33] <Flannel> WDC: No, It's a mail server.
[23:33] <WDC> Flannel: Well it could
[23:33]  * danielm_m1 hates cedega
[23:33] <Flannel> WDC: to do what?
[23:33] <spunk> WDC: another suggestion would be squirrelmail.
[23:33] <WDC> I can never ever ever seem to set up anything like a daemon that is terminal based
[23:34] <Flannel> WDC: its actually really easy.  You shouldn't have to do much, if any configuration.
[23:34] <soundray> EruditeHermit: you're in a bad mess. Your filesystem is corrupted, and you don't have a backup. Any attempt to fix it could ruin it completely. I think that's why people are reluctant to help you.
[23:34] <WDC> Flannel: I'll check it out for sure
[23:34] <EruditeHermit> soundray: any attempt is ok, I know It might not work
[23:34] <EruditeHermit> soundray: not going to blame anyone but myself for this
[23:34] <danielm_m1> whats up with your system?
[23:35] <soundray> EruditeHermit: did you attempt to resize your filesystem?
[23:35] <Thedjatclubrock> soundray: Yes he did
[23:35] <EruditeHermit> soundray: yes
[23:35] <danielm_m1> what did you use>
[23:35] <EruditeHermit> fedora installation CD
[23:35] <danielm_m1> ehh
[23:35] <EruditeHermit> wanted to try it out
[23:35] <WDC> Flannel: Thanks
[23:35] <EruditeHermit> while keeping my ubuntu partition
[23:35] <EruditeHermit> didn't work so well
[23:35] <danielm_m1> yeh i can imagine
[23:35] <EruditeHermit> I can mount it
[23:36] <EruditeHermit> but my home directory is shown as unknown file
[23:36] <kito0> soundray: it says 'kito0 kito0'
[23:36] <Kris07> All of the videos I try to watch with the default program "Movie Player" are laggy and don't have any audio. This only happened after I ran the upgrade for Hardy Heron. How can I fix this?
[23:36] <kapat> Is there a place I can download the current ibex testing kernel? There is a bug I would like to test, but I don't want to upgrade my entire system yet.
[23:36] <Oli``> How can I delete all my compiz settings from gconf?
[23:36] <Thedjatclubrock> Kris07: Try sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[23:37] <Thedjatclubrock> Kris07: Try sudo apt-get remove totem-gstreamer first.
[23:37] <Kris07> Thedjatclubrock, Okay
[23:37] <ender_> hi, i'm ender... and i've been clean 39 days... no windows.
[23:37] <josh-> i would just like to say, whoever helps out regularly in this channel .. you are saints.
[23:37] <spastic_teapot> Does anyone here know how to set your computer to a static IP address from the command line?
[23:38] <josh-> my only two answers would be 1. google it 2. use debian
[23:38] <josh-> heh
[23:38] <Teisei> josh-: I agree with you
[23:38] <kapat> spastic_teapot: you have to disable network manager first
[23:38] <EruditeHermit> soundray, danielm_m1, any suggestions or do I have to let this one go?
[23:38] <soundray> kito0: try this: 'sudo chown -R kito0:kito0 /home/kito0/.config', then try adding pidgin again, and see if that error message changes.
[23:38] <josh-> spastic_teapot: man ifconfig man 5 interfaces
[23:38] <kapat> spastic_teapot: run "pkill nm-applet" in a terminal
[23:38] <soundray> EruditeHermit: there are essentially two possibilities. Either one could be badly wrong and irreversible.
[23:38] <Teisei> However this channel should be more visible to beginners
[23:39] <soundray> EruditeHermit: one is to try and use a program like gpart or testdisk to recover the partition table.
[23:39] <Teisei> Most people who need help with Ubuntu don't even know about this channel
[23:39] <kapat> spastic_teapot: then you either have to use the ifconfig command, or the ip command.  Or, you can edit /etc/network/interfaces
[23:39] <EruditeHermit> soundray: what is option #2?
[23:39] <kapat> spastic_teapot: ifconfig is probably the simplest
[23:39] <Kris07> Thedjatclubrock, It's installed. What next?
[23:39] <Dorothy> I can't see CDs. I installed Xubuntu off the same drive I want to use, but when I got to mount it just hangs
[23:40] <Thedjatclubrock> Kris07: Try watching whatever again
[23:40] <soundray> EruditeHermit: the other would be to boot off a live CD and run 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/hda1' (or whatever the devicename of your broken partition is)
[23:40] <WDC> Flannel: I swear it is to hard to configure dovecot in a hurry. Is there something that just, works?
[23:40] <SchmittyDoesIt> how do i create a share in command-line seeing as how i don't have access to do it in gnome....
[23:40] <EruditeHermit> soundray: I tried the fsck off the live CD which I am talking to you from and that didn't work
[23:40] <Flannel> WDC: er... What are you having trouble with?
[23:40] <EruditeHermit> soundray: should I try the testdisk?
[23:40] <WDC> Flannel: It just won't start
[23:40] <josh-> spastic_teapot: man ifconfig  ... man 5 interfaces
[23:40] <WDC> Flannel: Sez invalid config
[23:41] <soundray> EruditeHermit: how do you mean "didn't work"?
[23:41] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: Do you mean a Windows file share?
[23:41] <kito0> soundray: i think that worked!!!
[23:41] <EruditeHermit> soundray: I keep getting error reading block xxxxx (Invalid argument) while getting next inode from scan.  Ignore error<y>?
[23:41] <kito0> thank you very much
[23:41] <EruditeHermit> soundray: when I do an fsck
[23:41] <Flannel> WDC: alright, what packages did you install?  and, pastebin /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
[23:41] <SchmittyDoesIt> kapat: no samba share between two ubuntu boxes
[23:42] <soundray> kito0: you're welcome
[23:42] <Dorothy> I can't see CDs. I installed Xubuntu off the same drive I want to use, but when I got to mount it just hangs
[23:42] <WDC> Flannel: common and pop3d. COnfig file is all commented, and I have no idea what to uncomment
[23:42] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: You can edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to add shares without a gui
[23:42] <Flannel> WDC: basically, you need to make a few choices before it knows what to do.  But there isn't any huge configuration required.
[23:42] <Flannel> WDC: Did you want IMAP as well?
[23:42] <WDC> Flannel: Nah just POP3
[23:42] <EruditeHermit> soundray: to which I keep hitting y, and it continues but there are many many errors
[23:42] <kito0> now if you coul tell me what we just do i'll be very happy :-D
[23:42] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: man smb.conf should tell you how
[23:42] <Thedjatclubrock> Kris07: Any betterr?
[23:43] <Flannel> WDC: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot walks you through it, if you want a webpage, but you can ask questions here too.
[23:43] <SchmittyDoesIt> kapat: but isn't there a command like 'net share'
[23:43] <EruditeHermit> soundray: if i use the -y option it fails before it starts the check because it says The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 14273744 blocks
[23:43] <EruditeHermit> The physical size of the device is 12446208 blocks
[23:43] <EruditeHermit> Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
[23:43] <Kris07> Thedjatclubrock, it worked, but then it lagged out. I had to Force Quit the program.
[23:43] <Thedjatclubrock> Kris07: Odd
[23:43] <Kris07> Is there any way for me to use VLC on FireFox?
[23:43] <soundray> EruditeHermit: okay, now have a glance at the web pages for gpart (note, not gparted) and testdisk. Understand what they do, and follow your gut feeling which one might be better suited for your problem.
[23:43] <Thedjatclubrock> Kris07: I am unaware.
[23:44] <Kris07> Thedjatclubrock, Okay
[23:44] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: Are you trying to mount a share or create one? There is a net command, but it doesn't implement all the functionality that the windows one does.  You can try it.
[23:44] <WDC> Flannel: When I type dovecot in terminal it sez it is already running. How can I kill it?
[23:44] <SchmittyDoesIt> create one
[23:44] <SchmittyDoesIt> kapat: create one
[23:44] <soundray> EruditeHermit: you can also install both programs into your live system and look at their docs under /usr/share/doc/{testdisk,gpart}
[23:44] <EruditeHermit> soundray: I've had success with testdisk before, do they both perform the same task?
[23:44] <Flannel> WDC: You don't type dovecot, you'll use the init script (/etc/init.d/dovecot restart)
[23:44] <josh-> Kris07: what do you want to do?
[23:44] <WDC> hmm
[23:44] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: You can look at man net, but I have never done it that way so I don't know if it will work
[23:45] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: looks like there is a net share add command tho
[23:45] <naknomik>  I want to compare/diff/merge two files, what's the best tool available in Gnome desktop?
[23:45] <josh-> naknomik: diff
[23:45] <Kris07> Josh-, watch streaming vids.
[23:45] <soundray> EruditeHermit: I think testdisk has more functionality. gpart is highly specialized to fixing partition tables. But it's been years since I've had trouble like that... I guess my backup strategy works
[23:45] <mgolisch> anyone know how to do proper filesystem level backups of filesystems that have acl support enabled? tar doesnt seem to backup the access control lists at all
[23:45] <naknomik> josh: :-) thanks. I was looking for something on the lines of diff-merge module in emacs
[23:46] <josh-> Kris07: im not going to look in my firefox options for you, but i bet if you do you can find something along the lines of *.swf 'open with' etc etc
[23:46] <Kris07> Josh-, Okay
[23:46] <soundray> naknomik: emacs diff-merge is unbeatable IMO
[23:46] <WDC> WHY does nautilus yield no file browser
[23:47] <WDC> I am sick of spending time doing unrelated things to do something
[23:47] <naknomik> hummm looks like I need to download emacs then, it doesn't come default on Ubuntu desktop
[23:47] <jacklake> Does anyone know this - E: main.c: daemon startup failed
[23:47] <WDC> Ubuntu is so non-object oriented
[23:48] <soundray> naknomik: that's right, a major shortcoming :)
[23:48] <mgolisch> jacklake: pulse?
[23:48] <b3by> hi
[23:48] <jacklake> mgolisch what pulse should be?
[23:48] <mgolisch> jacklake: is this when starting pulseaudio?
[23:48] <jacklake> mgolisch it's something to be with my soundcard???
[23:48] <jacklake> mgolisch YEAH!!!
[23:49] <jacklake> mgolisch I can't make it work :(
[23:49] <mgolisch> jacklake: did you edit the config file?
[23:49] <jacklake> mgolisch nope - I'm very new at all this :(
[23:49] <jacklake> mgolisch should I?
[23:49] <kitche> jacklake: well really in my opinion pulseaudio isn't even really ready yet so I tend to switch back to Alsa for default stuff
[23:50] <josh-> hey soundray got a minute? ;p
[23:50] <mgolisch> jacklake: maybe its allready running or something or there is still some pulse audio client launched, i had problems too when there were clients allready launched when starting pulseaudio
[23:50] <jacklake> kitche I'm gonna try
[23:50] <jacklake> well should then I re-statrt system????
[23:50] <soundray> josh-: (reluctantly) yeess?
[23:50] <cheeky> how do i get to use the deludge web interface .. once i have already .. checked the box tohave the web interface plug in enabled? i am hoping to open it in fire fox; any help would greatly be appreciated
[23:51] <josh-> Flannel: have you got a minute?
[23:51] <soundray> josh-: you need both Flannel and me?
[23:51] <Flannel> josh-: Best to just ask a question, and anyone who knows will answer
[23:52] <Kris07> Josh-, Nope. I don't see anything
[23:52] <josh-> sorry i thought you were helping me out earlier, with my issue.. i scrolled up and saw that was not so.
[23:52] <josh-> Flannel: its just hard to explain everything all over and over and over
[23:52] <ciapsadm> join #ubuntu-ro
[23:53] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to get the MAC address of the access point I am connected to?
[23:53] <Scunizi> josh: then maybe you should type it up and paste the text to paste.ubuntu.com and then share the link with whoever helps.. It would be a shortcut.
[23:53] <josh-> so we have now run /bin/bash; source /etc/profile; /usr/bin/sudo su - ... entered the password and its telling us "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory"
[23:53] <josh-> soundray Flannel ^_^
[23:54] <josh-> Scunizi: good idea :-)
[23:54] <SchmittyDoesIt> man i can't find out how to login as root, there was a spot last time that i had to checkmark said something like 'allow administrator login' i can't find it anymore. i ned to login as root
[23:54] <soundray> josh-: what do you get from a 'grep root /etc/passwd'?
[23:54] <Scunizi> SchmittyDoesIt: you can't use "sudo" to get things done?
[23:55] <SchmittyDoesIt> nope. no one here knows how. i need to crate a samba share. righlt clicking the folder and sharing it would get things done.
[23:55] <josh-> soundray: root:x:0:0:root:/root:bash
[23:55] <SchmittyDoesIt> i never has this problem with and other flavor of linux.
[23:56] <unop> josh, why sudo su - ??
[23:56] <WDC> Is ther ANY POP3/SMTP server that has a GUI and doesn't take forever to configure for Linux?
[23:56] <kapat> SchmittyDoesIt: You can log in as root if you set the root password first. "sudo passwd"
[23:56] <kitche> SchmittyDoesIt: umm you do know there is a gksu filemanager in your menu right?
[23:56] <Scunizi> SchmittyDoesIt: then you can "sudo nautilus" to give you a root file manager that you can use to right mouse click and change permissions.. if you want..
[23:56] <spasticteapot> kapat: Is the string of letters and numbers "00:13:e8:b1:76:e7" next to HWaddr when I run ifconfig the MAC address of the connection?
[23:56] <WDC> I'm sick of wasting time doing unrelated things to do somethign simple
[23:56] <Slart> WDC: I don't think so, no
[23:56] <josh-> unop: we are just trying to get root at this point, the shell has been borked. :-/
[23:56] <Scunizi> SchmittyDoesIt: actually gksu or gksudo nautilus
[23:56] <tommy> #heidelberg
[23:56] <kapat> spasticteapot: yes
[23:56] <Flannel> WDC: dovecot takes maybe two minutes to configure.
[23:56] <WDC> Slart: Sometimes Windows IS better than Linux. Most of the time not though
[23:56] <spasticteapot> kapat: The MAC address of the card, or the AP I am connected to?
[23:56] <soundray> josh-: that'll be the problem. You need to reboot, choose recovery mode, edit /etc/password and change that line to read    root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
[23:56] <SchmittyDoesIt> where is gksudo?
[23:57] <WDC> Flannel: Can I get your conf file? I am just wasting my time trying to figure out what to uncomment
[23:57] <Scunizi> SchmittyDoesIt: use the terminal and do it.. it will open the file manager as root
[23:57] <soundray> josh-: does that make sense?
[23:57] <EruditeHermit> soundray: once I have rewritten the partition table
[23:57] <kapat> spasticteapot: that is the mac of your network card.  To see the mac of the access point you are connected to, look at iwconfig
[23:57] <josh-> yes thank you very much soundray
[23:57] <fwaokda> how do i compile with g++ in ubuntu hardy?
[23:57] <EruditeHermit> soundray: what do I do? do I do the fsck again?
[23:57] <unop> soundray, josh - make that /etc/passwd :)
[23:57] <soundray> EruditeHermit: yes
[23:57] <Slart> !compile | fwaokda
[23:57] <Flannel> WDC: did you check that wiki page?
[23:58] <WDC> Flannel: Yes, another waste of my time
[23:58] <Tecktis> Åñòü êòî òóò ðóññêèé? :)
[23:58] <SchmittyDoesIt> Scunizi: it just open up a run box to run something as root
[23:58] <soundray> unop: thanks. josh-, you know what I meant, didn't you?
[23:58] <EruditeHermit> soundray: I still get the bad superblock problem, is there a way to replace the superblock with the backup ones?
[23:58] <SchmittyDoesIt> knowone here knows the command-line off the share
[23:58] <Slart> !ru | Tecktis
[23:58] <SchmittyDoesIt> i need to open of nautilis
[23:58] <opt1k> fwaokda: g++ *is* the compiler
[23:58] <Flannel> WDC: pastebin your config file, and we'll do it together.   It's just EVERY SINGLE THING i do in Linux requires another hour just to configure something, or get this package, or that package or learn how to do this or that
[23:59] <soundray> EruditeHermit: yes, I think 'man e2fsck' will tell you how. It could be something like "-b 8192"
[23:59] <WDC> Flannel: I'm sorry I really am
[23:59] <opt1k> fwaokda: what you need to do is go to terminal and type "g++ <input_files>" (without the quotation marks ofc)
[23:59] <SchmittyDoesIt> so far so good
[23:59] <EruditeHermit> soundray: ok, I've tried with all the backup superblocks and I get the same message
[23:59] <Scunizi> WDC: do you remember when you first started using WinXX? almost the same thing.. takes time
