[03:06] <Ash-Fox> What a choice...
[03:06] <JJones0207> Why isnt it able to detect the cd but at the same time its booting off of it.......
[03:06] <Ash-Fox> JJones0207, because you need to fit the bootloader in the first 512k or something
[03:06] <JJones0207> 512 of ram?
[03:07] <Ash-Fox> Yes.
[03:07] <JJones0207> maybe thats why its not working ( cant detect cd ) that computer only has like 128 RAM
[03:07] <sod75> !helpme | knoppix
[03:07] <ubotu> knoppix: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:07] <JJones0207> thats why i got the alternate
[03:07] <soundray> Ash-Fox: you're not being helpful
[03:07] <ollum> hi... i got a problem. i'm in the livecd mode now and i want to mount my ubuntu partitions cuz my xserver is fucked up. i dont manage to get them mounted properly.
[03:07] <Ash-Fox> That's MB, I was talking about KB
[03:07] <soundray> JJones0207: that's not the reason
[03:07] <knoppix> hehehe ok
[03:07] <Jowi> JJones0207, no that is not the problem.
[03:08] <Jowi> JJones0207, I've installed ubuntu in systems with 64mb ram :)
[03:08] <knoppix> heres my prob: how do i change the username and password in pppoeconf
[03:08] <Ash-Fox> The bootloader to my knowledge doesn't have enough code to know which boot device it's booting from
[03:08] <stiffme1983> hello everyone
[03:08] <Ash-Fox> enough room for code
[03:08] <JJones0207> it says Mounting \dev\blahblah then it says invalid arguement
[03:09] <JJones0207> and then that message pops up
[03:09] <soundray> JJones0207: the CD boots while the drive is under the control of the BIOS. Then the kernel tries to take over, which is when it fails for some reason.
[03:09] <knoppix> coz i recently transferred residence and i kind of don't know how to change the username and password that loads on my pc
[03:09] <knoppix> im using knoppix now - quite obviously
[03:09] <JJones0207> But it says it loaded the kernal before installation starts
[03:09] <rambo3> JJones0207, does it have a console
[03:09] <JJones0207> ?
[03:10] <soundray> JJones0207: this happens sometimes when a CD-ROM is of the more recent SATA type, and is connected to a controller that doesn't have support. Hence my earlier question.
[03:10] <rambo3> shell  pormpt
[03:10] <soundray> JJones0207: since you've installed ubuntu before, that isn't the problem now.
[03:10] <thomas> how can i kill X so it doesn't start again?
[03:10] <soundray> thomas: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[03:10] <JJones0207> Well last time I ran the CD and I couldnt get the regular one to work so someone told me to get the alternate and it worked
[03:11] <soundray> JJones0207: so you have the Ubuntu Desktop CD as well?
[03:11] <JJones0207> The regular one?
[03:11] <soundray> JJones0207: yes
[03:11] <Jowi> knoppix, should be in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (or "pap-secrets" those files are usually identical)
[03:11] <JJones0207> Yeah but it doesnt have enough ram to run also it freezes when I try to start ubuntu ( run from cd )
[03:12] <knoppix> ok i will try thanks mate!
[03:12] <soundray> JJones0207: can you borrow some RAM somewhere just for the installation?
[03:12] <knoppix> logging off and rebooting
[03:12] <JJones0207> I could try but it would take a little while since its a old computer
[03:12] <JJones0207> Pentium 3
[03:12] <JJones0207> 128 ram
[03:12] <phlasphy_> hey all
[03:12] <JJones0207> 30gb hdd
[03:13] <ollum> hi... i got a problem. i'm in the livecd mode now and i want to mount my ubuntu partitions cuz my xserver is fucked up. i dont manage to get them mounted properly.
[03:13] <soundray> JJones0207: you might fare better with a xubuntu installation on that machine.
[03:13] <zainka> Is it possible to use, say ghost, to create a image of my Linux ubuntu partition to port it to another running bigger hdd? offcourse with some system repair after oprting to make installation match with hardware...

[03:13] <JJones0207> whats xubuntu
[03:13] <ollum> sry
[03:13] <soundray> !xubuntu | JJones0207
[03:13] <ubotu> JJones0207: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[03:14] <JJones0207> whats the differance? its not as good is it?
[03:14] <DARKGuy> Mornin' :)
[03:14] <phlasphy_> JJones0207: its better :P
[03:14] <foxxNBonE> can any help installing dans guardian
[03:14] <soundray> JJones0207: it depends on what you mean by 'good'
[03:15] <JJones0207> Well nvm but Im looking at the system requirements
[03:15] <phlasphy_> ok
[03:15] <JJones0207> should i still get the alternate
[03:15] <soundray> JJones0207: gnome is very user friendly, but it's also very slow on old systems like yours
[03:15] <Jowi> JJones0207, you can also look here for low mem alternative installations: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[03:15] <JJones0207> because that requires 64mb and I wouldnt want to take up the whole 128 ram
[03:15] <soundray> JJones0207: no, I'd try the regular one
[03:15] <JJones0207> ok
[03:16] <zainka> ... Aboute compiling... when running ./configure on package kontrollerlab found on sourceforg, what does this message mean...
[03:16] <zainka> checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes.
[03:16] <JJones0207> well im going to download it and I got to go to school right now but thanks you all helped me so I wouldnt be sitting here still trying to find out y
[03:16] <soundray> zainka: yes, that's possible. You have to update your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst after that operation
[03:16] <zainka> X is ... unknown to me
[03:16] <zainka> thanks for answering my first one, Soundary
[03:16] <timo91> what dose it mean when the power button on the top right wont respond when presed ?
[03:17] <thomas> how do i stop x, so that it won't restart automatically?
[03:17] <stiffme1983> zainka: you maybe need development files for xserver
[03:17] <stiffme1983> thomas: ctrl+atl+F1
[03:17] <soundray> thomas: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'. I've told you before
[03:17] <soundray> stiffme1983: that's not correct
[03:17] <stiffme1983> thomas: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:17] <SeyToN> can someone help me please with wifi to the ap?
[03:17] <soundray> stiffme1983: okay, I take it back
[03:18] <timo91> it seems the only way i can log out is by pressing the restart button on my pc the ubuntu button dose not respond

[03:18] <stiffme1983> soundray: hi ,do you familiar with intel C++ compiler?

[03:19] <voraistos> sudo halt
[03:19] <timo91> thank you
[03:19] <glaz> halt wont shut it down tho
[03:19] <timo91> log off ?
[03:20] <glaz> it will just bring the computer to be halted
[03:20] <timo91> i want to restart
[03:20] <glaz> you want to power it off ?
[03:20] <voraistos> sudo reboot
[03:20] <timo91> yes
[03:20] <voraistos> or ctrl alt del
[03:20] <timo91> thank you
[03:20] <glaz> man halt
[03:20] <Eclypse> hah, that's quite funny. on the automatix wiki it says don't listen to anyone in the ubuntu channel if they say that automatix caused the problem, they are misinformed, lmao
[03:20] <Eclypse> after what you guys told me yesterday, I believe it.
[03:20] <voraistos> halt -R reboots as well i think
[03:21] <timo91> i hate it when this thing crashs
[03:21] <timo91> now the terminal wont load :-/
[03:21] <SniZ> what i must do for increase system perfomance? i`ve get this: 3.7 16.6 169:22.03 Xorg  , i have gnome and i think my old video card cant do hardware acceleration
[03:21] <ollum> i cannot boot into gnome becauze my xserver broke. i tried to reconfigure it but it doesnt work. it says: no screens found ; xf86CloseConsole:KDSETMODE failed bad file descriptor; xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed bad file descriptor.
[03:22] <voraistos> OK i have some problem installing ubuntu on a quite old machine (10 years old ). I dont want X, i just want  a 3com etherlink III ISA to be detected... can anybody help ?
[03:22] <Eclypse> timo91 what happened?
[03:22] <timo91> thats the thing no error masege nothing
[03:22] <Eclypse> timo91 persistent?
[03:23] <timo91> it just stops working slow thou untill i cant even do any thing
[03:23] <Tazmon> wow...
[03:23] <timo91> Eclypse:im getting sick of this
[03:23] <humbolt> I would like the latest beagle from feisty to be backported to dapper. There were significant bug-fixes!
[03:23] <stiffme1983> ollum: you need correct graphic drivers?
[03:23] <humbolt> How to make that happen?
[03:23] <timo91> the opend applications work great but wont let me open any more
[03:23] <SniZ> if i change viedo card riva tnt 2 to more powerfull, and get hardware acceleration, XORG gnome can be faster?
[03:23] <timo91> or even restart it
[03:24] <sod75> voraistos: not sure, but might look into recompiling your kernel and enabling isa stuff , it may no longer be in there by default on ubuntu...
[03:24] <Eclypse> timo91 have you posted on the ubuntuforums?
[03:24] <glaz> SniZ, get AIGLX
[03:24] <glaz> + gnome
[03:24] <SniZ> glaz, what?
[03:24] <Eclypse> timo91, they are often much more helpful then the IRC
[03:24] <Eclypse> timo91 unless you're setting up something like compiz.
[03:24] <Tazmon> I'm new to this and very impressed with all that's in ubuntu.. was wondering if I could get some help with a wireless issue though :P It's the only thing I haven't been about to get working yet
[03:24] <ollum> before it worked normally.. but i changed smth in the xorg.conf file ( me - dumb ) and it wont start... if i try to copy another backup file it doesnt work either
[03:24] <Tomcat_> Tazmon: Just state your question.
[03:25] <voraistos> sod75: is the kernel source present on the CD ? How do i compile with the ubuntu package if there is one ?
[03:25] <ollum> i tried reconfiguring but i cant choose vesa. there is only neomagic, silicon... and voodoo
[03:25] <timo91> Eclypse:im just a nomal user all i want to do is log on use the work processor and a bit of internet the log off
[03:25] <Eclypse> timo91, we're all normal.  we all have basic needs that we need fofilled. and sometimes those needs are ridiculously hard to satisfy in linux.
[03:26] <Eclypse> timo91, in your case, hardware incapatability, your best bet is posting on the forum, trust me.
[03:26] <Tazmon> well, I've followed all I can from the forums and other places with getting the wireless setup and when I type "iwlist eth1 scan" I get a list of all the networks near my house and mine.  And useing the Network manager I see all the networks, but I can't connect to any of them.  I try, it hangs for about two mins, and then connects to the eth0 wired connection again
[03:26] <sod75> voraistos: don't know if it's on the cd, but you need "sudo apt-get build-essential" and then do a "make menuconfig" which should get you the menu for selecting the option/modules
[03:26] <Eclypse> timo91, its the most active form I've ever been to in my life, lol, 2000 people active half the time.
[03:26] <timo91> Eclypse:what was the name of it

[03:27] <timo91> i cant open a application remeber including opera
[03:28] <timo91> im going to have to press the reset button
[03:28] <Eclypse> timo91, ubuntu is your main computer?
[03:28] <timo91> yhe
[03:28] <Eclypse> ok
[03:28] <voraistos> sod75: You mean if i install the ubuntu kernel-source package it will put the sources in /src and ill just have to configure, compile, install and reboot just like a vanilla one ?
[03:28] <Eclypse> umm
[03:28] <Eclypse> I could post for you if you want?
[03:28] <timo91> bit of a shame like
[03:28] <Eclypse> you may have to format, though
[03:28] <Eclypse> I can't think of any reason why nothing would start.
[03:29] <Tazmon> ne1?
[03:29] <sod75> voraistos: yup build-essential is a metapackege with dev stuff like make, etc
[03:29] <timo91> :(all the power is taken away from me

[03:40] <Tazmon> that would be the 2.6.17-10-generic folder right?
[03:40] <derFlo> Suspend to RAM does not work
[03:40] <rausb0> Tazmon: if that is your kernel, yes
[03:40] <derFlo> (ubuntu gnome)
[03:41] <voraistos> like Duke says. shit happens
[03:41] <Tazmon> yup got them in there and in just the /lib/firmware folder too

[03:42] <rausb0> Tazmon: did you only try connecting with the network manager applet or also with iwconfig and ifconfig on the command line?
[03:42] <Grem> hi
[03:42] <Tazmon> only the network manager...
[03:42] <Tazmon> didn't find how to do the other ways yet
[03:42] <Tazmon> I'll go search
[03:42] <voraistos> derFlo: depending on hardware ACPI is + or - supported. An by the way Duke is friendly and says friendly things :P
[03:43] <Tazmon> unless you want to tell me ;)
[03:43] <rausb0> Tazmon: right. open a terminal.
[03:43] <kmaynard> Tazmon, after all that whining you did, you can google for a few ;)
[03:44] <Tazmon> just needed a pointer on what to google ;)
[03:45] <voraistos> Tazmon. Dont google, accept it wont work. I have an atheros working perfectly on whax that wont do a thing except detection on ubuntu. Its been one year of googling.
[03:46] <brett> hey can someone help me?

[03:46] <macgyver_79> help pls> I cant compile a program> error: invalid lvalue assignment        any clue?
[03:46] <damageDOne> Does anyone know how I could have stuffed up a perfectly good laptop by using ssh to transfer my homefolder from my old machine to my new one?
[03:47] <brett> does anyone know how to get AVI files to work in ubuntu? i've tried automatix2 to install my plugins, with no luck. still, i get the same errors.
[03:47] <Tazmon> well... if I don't get this working then the whole point of using ubuntu for me on this laptop is pretty much pointless...

[03:47] <sod75> damageDOne: you messed up the hidden .something files .
[03:47] <sod75> ?
[03:48] <voraistos> brett: avi container has to be supported by the player.
[03:48] <keeganX> Does anyone know where the amarok dock icon is stored?
[03:48] <voraistos> and every player i know supports it, brett
[03:48] <rausb0> Tazmon: does "sudo iwlist scanning" see your wireless AP?
[03:48] <Tazmon> so I just did a "sudo dhclient" and it's getting all the right information
[03:48] <Tazmon> yes it does
[03:48] <manc> Is there an application that can take care of the 'Desktop' other than Nautilus? Nautilus doesn't seem to align icons very well...
[03:49] <damageDOne> sod75: did I? For some reason after the 4 hours worth of copying, I went to save a small text file and was told that I didn't have enough diskspace. I logged out and couldn't log back in.
[03:49] <Tazmon> and I just did a ifconfig eth1 and it all looks good
[03:49] <rausb0> Tazmon: so can you ping the AP's ip address now?
[03:49] <brett> Avi container?
[03:49] <Tazmon> yup
[03:49] <voraistos> manc: i am sure its due to the width of the icons, which are different. if you setup properly nautilus it should do the job.
[03:49] <Tazmon> but... it's on the wire...
[03:50] <brett> how/where do i get avi container?
[03:50] <keeganX> brett: what video player are you using?
[03:50] <brett> i was trying to use totem
[03:50] <brett> or vlc
[03:50] <voraistos> brett: it is supported by mplayer, totem, etc out of the box
[03:50] <manc> voraistos, it aligns horizontally but not vertically like windows
[03:51] <voraistos> manc well you can use explorer.exe under wine if you want it like windows :P
[03:51] <manc> har har har
[03:51] <brett> where do i get avi container?
[03:51] <callas> dunno
[03:51] <rausb0> Tazmon: huh? you just said that dhclient over wlan works?
[03:51] <voraistos> you might have security issues though. just to align godam icons on a desktop
[03:52] <keeganX> Whats the channel for the new ubuntu release?
[03:52] <voraistos> brett: it is not something to download. i think your problem i related to codecs, not to the container.
[03:52] <Lynoure> keeganX: The one in works? #ubuntu+1
[03:52] <brett> well, i dont know
[03:52] <keeganX> alright thanks
[03:53] <brett> i've tried to download the win32 codecs and mplayer.. no success. im trying to watch a video we exported from windows via premiere to critique
[03:53] <Tazmon> Am I here?
[03:53] <jrib> keeganX: which release are you referring to?  edgy?
[03:53] <rausb0> Tazmon: yes
[03:53] <keeganX> No feisty, but I found the channel
[03:54] <Tazmon> yeah it does rausb0
[03:54] <Tazmon> am I still here?
[03:54] <brett> yes
[03:54] <David777> You appear to be here
[03:54] <rausb0> Tazmon: yes
[03:54] <Tazmon> whoa...
[03:54] <voraistos> brett: when you have a .avi file, it certainly uses the avi container. The container says how to sync audio, video and others. If you want a good container, you can use ogm instead. However to play your avi files properly, you will need the codecs the video track and audio track use. It can be Xvid and mp3. If you want to install those, go to RestrictedFormats on the wiki
[03:54] <x-r00t-x> help . when firestarter is runing . i cant use irc server . what do i do now .. how do i open 6667 port ?
[03:54] <Tazmon> 20 lines all at once...
[03:55] <David777> lol, you need a wider window or a smaller font Tazmon
[03:55] <brett> ok, thank you
[03:55] <David777> Anyone know how to prevent the console on the CLI install from switching to 80x30 mode?
[03:55] <jessid> Hello, some of you have any idea of how can I know If an user is in certain group? For example I want to be sure user xyz is in groups uucp and lock.....I think I have to use the app that is in gnome, but group lock didnt exist... I created one, but I dont know what the id is....may I use any number??? Thanks
[03:55] <brett> Oh, another question. I recently installed checkgmail and now i cannot get it out of my system tray.. is there a ctrl + alt + del application? sorry im still new to ubuntu.
[03:56] <rausb0> jessid: id <username>
[03:56] <David777> brett: You can open an xterm and use "ps aux | less" to view all processes.
[03:56] <keeganX> brett: System>Administration>System Monitor
[03:57] <Tazmon> So here's what I just did, I used the sudo dhclient eth1 and it was just looping, so using the network-manager, I click on the wireless network I want to connect, to .  Almost immediately I got assigned a dhcp address using the dhclient... but network-manager just kept looping... then 2 mins later it auto changed back to wired and that's when I was asking if I was still here but didn't see anything happening... then all the sudden about 20 lines a
[03:57] <David777> jessid: "groups <username>" will tell you the groups a user belongs to
[03:57] <brett> wow, holy crap.
[03:57] <Tazmon> I just don't understand why I get an IP from the router, but I can't actually connect
[03:57] <timo90> were can i download berly svn
[03:57] <jessid> rausb0: thanks, what about the id i assigned to the new group lock??? is there any specific number???
[03:57] <jessid> David777: thanks, what about the id i assigned to the new group lock??? is there any specific number???
[03:58] <David777> The group numbers will be in the /etc/groups file
[03:58] <jrib> brett: system > adminstration > system monitor
[03:58] <keeganX> brett: Automatix2 installs a ctrl-alt-del script for nautilus
[03:58] <brett> i just found that
[03:58] <David777> Oops, no groups file on Ubuntu, Gah
[03:58] <brett> yeah i tried ctrl + alt + del, and nothing came up either
[03:58] <David777> Sorry, /etc/group
[03:59] <timo90> were to get the latest beryl svn
[03:59] <timo90> ?
[04:00] <brett> another question: i cannot resize windows.. i get the cursor to appear like it wants to resize the window, then when i try, its like im not even pressing down my mouse button, when i really am.
[04:00] <dredhammer> hello how do you patch sources? i tried the patch cmd but it seems like it just hangs
[04:00] <David777> Anywayz, anyone know how to prevent the console from switching to 80x30?
[04:00] <Tazmon> I'm going to try disabling ipv6... some others seemed to have problems with that
[04:00] <Tazmon> I'll be back
[04:00] <jrib> dredhammer: patch -n num < file.patch   read patches manual page for an explanation of -p
[04:00] <Tazmon> after a reboot
[04:01] <David777> dredhammer: Usually, patch is used like this "patch -p1 < patchfile.txt"
[04:01] <jrib> patch's even
[04:01] <Tazmon> thanks for laughing at / with me ;)
[04:01] <brett> nevermind, found it out.
[04:01] <David777> No console experts in here?
[04:01] <David777> Gah
[04:01] <jrib> dredhammer: oops yes I mean -p as David777 said
[04:02] <dredhammer> so its not supposed to hang in the terminal?
[04:02] <dredhammer> when you use the patch cmd
[04:02] <David777> dredhammer: If it hangs in the terminal, it means it is waiting on input from stdin.
[04:02] <jrib> dredhammer: no, how did you enter the command?
[04:02] <Karhuton> I have a laptop with 3 usb ports, all of them should be 2.0/1.0. After reboot Gnome's HAL device manager shows two 1.0 and one 2.0 USB controllers. If I plug an usb (2.0) cd drive into any of the ports, the usb 1.0 controllers take over it. I rmmod ohci_hcd and modprobed ehci_hcd, which then took over all the ports (I can plug in the drive to any port and the 2.0 controller handles it). But now my usb mouse or keyboard (1.0) won't work
[04:02] <David777> You didn't use the "<" character to give it some input.
[04:03] <David777> Gah, I'm helping more people than I'm getting help
[04:03] <dredhammer> patch -p ../tsocks-1.8b5-tordns1.diff
[04:04] <jrib> dredhammer: you need an argument to -p and you need the "<".  Patch reads from standard input
[04:04] <voraistos> David777: its always like that with me, thats why its rare when i come around here ...
[04:04] <David777> dredhammer: You shoul've typed "patch -p0 < ../tsocks-1.8b-tordns1.diff"
[04:04] <Karhuton> I modprobed ohci after ehci, but when I stuck the cd drive in the port the 2.0 controller took over and then the kernel driver spit an error to console I had open and now the drive doesn't work anymore.. How can I get both 2.0 and 1.0 working? Can I dedicate certain ports to ohci and others to ehci, if it can't automatically chooset he correct controller?
[04:04] <dredhammer> ok thanks
[04:04] <David777> dredhammer: If -p0 does not work, try -p1
[04:05] <David777> This room is more like "*nix for newbies" than "Ubuntu Support"
[04:06] <Tazmon> and I'm back... but no love on the disabling ipv6 to help...
[04:06] <David777> But I bet if someone goes to #unix or whatever and says, "I have a patch for Ubuntu that does't work..." they get shunted here.
[04:06] <David777> Tazmon: What's the problem you are working on?
[04:06] <timo90> how how do i editmy souce list
[04:06] <Tazmon> I'm trying to get my wireless working.
[04:07] <David777> 941 people in here and no one uses the console.
[04:07] <VigoFusion> Synaptic Package Manager always errors and says I do not have a Domain Name. is there a fix?
[04:07] <Tazmon> I've got it sooooo close, but just not geting any info transfered from the router other than an IP

[04:07] <voraistos> David777 ido agree. Thats why i moved from Debian. #debian is completly empty and non-friendly. At least noobs are quite nice. And after all, we are all noobs, as non one knows everything :)
[04:07] <timo90> :-P
[04:07] <David777> Tazmon: You might be outta luck.  My brother has been spending about a year trying to get the wireless adapter in his laptop to work under Ubuntu.
[04:08] <David777> Tazmon: What do you get when you run "uname -a"?
[04:08] <Tazmon> not what I want to hear :P
[04:08] <David777> Tazmon: Don't give up yet.  My brother wouldn't let me help him.
[04:08] <kr0n1x> salve c' qualcuno che ha mai usato swap magic su ps2?
[04:08] <voraistos> David777: And your brother is just like me :(
[04:08] <x-r00t-x> help . when firestarter is runing . i cant use irc server . what do i do now .. how do i open 6667 port ?

[04:09] <Tazmon> downloaded within the last 2 weeks
[04:09] <freddy> thanks
[04:09] <voraistos> jbroome: ow i dont remember. But debian support is more on mailing lists, and has always been. And debian is always stable, but always old as well.
[04:10] <Tazmon> right now I'm using the bcm43xx method to do this and not the ndiswrapper method
[04:10] <freddy> i'm using generic.. that's not good.. right? i should like compile a new one for my amd dual core?
[04:10] <David777> Tazmon: I'm gonna establish a private channel because I want you to post "lspci -v" output and it takes up quite a lot of space.  OK?
[04:10] <kr0n1x> hi there's someone used Swap Magic dvd/cd on PS2?
[04:10] <Tazmon> I tried that too but never saw anything
[04:10] <voraistos> use #voraistos. thats its purpose :)
[04:10] <jbroome> freddy: that's fine
[04:11] <voraistos> David777
[04:11] <David777> voraistos: ?
[04:12] <voraistos> use #voraistos if you want to use a private channel, thats what i use it for :)

[04:25] <DARKGuy> Yay
[04:25] <Diiba> No darkguy
[04:25] <jrib> crimsun: thank you
[04:25] <Diiba> IT doesnt.

[04:25] <DARKGuy> they do
[04:25] <Diiba> The bittornado launches nicely from xfce menu.

[04:26] <DARKGuy> Diiba: hey, you're right oO
[04:26] <David777> Polysics: A console expert would be someone who knows how to run linux without a window manager.
[04:26] <Diiba> Kinda wierd isn't it?
[04:26] <jessid> Carooo I think you are in the wrong place,
[04:26] <jrib> David777: the answer to your question is "yes" or "no", do either of those help you in any way?
[04:26] <Polysics> i think anyone can do that David .-)
[04:26] <thevenin> David777: there are people in here that can answer whatever you question is

[04:27] <Polysics> just go ahead and tell us what the problem is, i'm usually useless but not always .-)
[04:27] <DARKGuy> Diiba: In a terminal, type: "cd /usr/bin && ls -a | grep 'bit'" and you'll get the command names
[04:27] <voraistos> David777 i thought you needed a kernel expert ?
[04:27] <Polysics> anyway, anyone knows where "Modem Lights" applet has gone?
[04:27] <David777> lol, once again for the record "How do I prevent this from happening: "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30"?
[04:27] <Diiba> Ty Darkguy
[04:27] <DARKGuy> Diiba: welcome :)
[04:28] <Polysics> i only have the crappy Modem Monitor one which does not use pon/poff, and i'm not a fan of other methods
[04:28] <David777> Does anyone know how to disable "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30"?
[04:28] <lenista> sry no i'm a bloody newbie
[04:28] <Polysics> i'm running 6.10 stock if it's useful
[04:28] <Journeyman> no need to repeat David777
[04:28] <voraistos> David777: i dont even know which console is ubuntu using, but there must be a man page giving info about that
[04:29] <David777> That would be both a console and a kernel expert question because some forum posts recommend rebuilding the kernel and others recommend passing arguments to grub.
[04:29] <Valmarko> I already downloaded unrar, non free. What do I do now. Just unpack the file?
[04:30] <jrib> Valmarko: downloaded?  Did you install it with the package manager?
[04:30] <David777> Now, my Ubuntu system is a crappy little embedded board with a nerfed AMD Geode processor running at @400 MHz so rebuilding the kernel will take about a day.
[04:30] <Valmarko> the packed file?
[04:30] <Polysics> David777, this will be something you already know, but arguments to grub is better and safer if everything else works
[04:30] <Valmarko> yes. synaptic...
[04:30] <Polysics> David777, totally offtopic, could i use one of those to power a RAID disk cabinet?
[04:30] <David777> Unfortunately, none of the arguments to grub that have been suggested work, Polysics?
[04:30] <jrib> Valmarko: you can just double click on your file now, or use the command line 'unrar x file.rar' if you prefer
[04:30] <Valmarko> tanks
[04:30] <Valmarko> :)
[04:31] <David777> Polysics: This board is so woefully underpowered, I wouldn't use it to control a toilet flusher.
[04:31] <crimsun> David777: which vga= parameter did you pass?
[04:31] <David777> I used "vga=normal", "video=vga16:off"
[04:31] <Polysics> where is my Modem Lights applet? lol
[04:31] <David777> Neither worked
[04:31] <Polysics> all the docs mention that, and i don't have it :-)
[04:31] <voraistos> Polysics: i think u can, as some products already do it
[04:32] <David777> Polysics: I am googling "Modem Lights"...
[04:32] <Polysics> i have a couple spare 250gb hds, sata
[04:32] <Polysics> David777, seems like it's not included in the 6.10 stock
[04:32] <voraistos> gimme one i just lost 500 gigs
[04:32] <Polysics> Modem Lights is the recommended applet for pon/poff
[04:33] <Placid> can anyone tell me which package stddef.h would be in? i can't find it via apt-cache and i've installed build-essential, and anything libstdc++ related.
[04:34] <jrib> Polysics: is it the same as "modem monitor" applet that you can add to gnome-panel?
[04:35] <Joe1> hello
[04:35] <Polysics> jrib, no, that's another that works with the built in dialup, which doesn't work for me
[04:35] <David777> Isn't "Modem Lights" a Gnome application?
[04:35] <Joe1> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[04:35] <Polysics> David777, it is, but it's not installed nor i can find one anywhere
[04:36] <jrib> Polysics: the description for gnome-applets seems to indicate it comes with modemlights, it seems to be the same
[04:36] <Polysics> or rather, i'm starting to suppose it's actually that app
[04:36] <Polysics> yes, but the configuration dialog is totally different, i think something's wrong somewhere
[04:36] <bradbury9> anyone here with a 5G ipod? got a little problem
[04:36] <Polysics> not that i really care, i can dial just fine, it's just to have a normal button to do it
[04:36] <bradbury9> need the firmware
[04:36] <Polysics> a two-state button would do too

[04:37] <ubotu> cyber: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[04:37] <Diiba> Ok. More help needed at the torrent area. Azureus client crashes after few seconds of use, does anyone know a bugfix (or link to some). Actually, it worked when I installed it from automatix, but for someunknown reason, I installed it again from commandline and then the crashing started.
[04:37] <cyber> i opened synaptic & installed gcc
[04:37] <miles_> Hello
[04:37] <cyber> but it gave me thoat "
[04:37] <jrib> cyber: install build-essential, see the link from ubotu
[04:38] <cyber> ok
[04:38] <miles_> Is it possible to print a batch of PDF files? (Edgy)
[04:38] <Journeyman> erm
[04:38] <Journeyman> why does ubuntu discourage compiling from source
[04:39] <unimatrix9> hello there, how can i turn off update message?
[04:39] <Polysics> Journeyman, because it is normally overkill
[04:39] <Guardian> hi i need help please, i'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto ; however, when i type "net ads join" it just waits forever :(
[04:39] <Guardian> i'm using edgy
[04:39] <Polysics> software works just fine and you can tap the large knowledge base
[04:39] <Guardian> it used to work with dapper
[04:40] <Journeyman> Polysics, overkill how? I find programs function better when I compile them
[04:40] <Polysics> do you? i can't tell the difference :-)
[04:40] <David777> Polysics: It looks like it either comes with Gnome or it doesn't
[04:40] <Polysics> David777, then it's the second :-) oh well, i'll just make a couple of desktop icons
[04:40] <Journeyman> I also like to modify it to store the files where I tell it to
[04:41] <David777> Polysics: If you have access to a version of Gnome with it installed, you might be able to copy the files over and modify some configuration but it'll probably be a major PITA.
[04:41] <cyber> yea editing where it installs to etc
[04:41] <Polysics> David777, totally not worth it, i was misled by the fact that the docs reference one app but there is actually another
[04:41] <cyber> u can change things in the build so yea
[04:41] <SidSilver4> hello,
[04:42] <Polysics> now it's time to disc, thanks all for help... i've leeched this connection enough :-)
[04:42] <Polysics> bye
[04:42] <SidSilver4> is there a way to set a different language for a different user?
[04:42] <David777> Does anyone know of any other grub options to prevent the kernel from "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30"

[04:42] <Valmarko> My pc has Windows and Ubuntu installed. I want to pass one document to sda1, the place where windows is installed. but it's nor permited. What can I do to change this?
[04:43] <sysrage> not use ntfs
[04:43] <cyber> Valmarko, take the long route, set up an ftp server and connect to it using ure  M$ machine :P
[04:43] <compengi> valarians, are you on windows while you want to access linux directory?
[04:43] <stoorty> use a pen drive
[04:43] <cyber> then u can share files simply
[04:44] <Valmarko> thanks
[04:44] <sysrage> ya, go the direction compengi said. going from linux to windows isn't going to work
[04:44] <SidSilver4> if it's the other way around, need to set permission properly perhaps?
[04:44] <sysrage> not safely anyway

[04:44] <Luke> Does anyone know how to make open office documents that have 2 references to the same footnote?
[04:44] <Luke> or know where to look/get help?
[04:44] <David777> Valmarko: Can you mount sda1 as ntfs?
[04:44] <Raven> how do i setup apache in Ubuntu with a GUI to configure it
[04:45] <Valmarko> sda1 is a ntfs file system
[04:45] <Tazmon> I've been doing some searching about the problem you were helping me with David777 and it seems that a lot of people lost their wireless connection with the upgrade to a newer kernel, Is there a way for me to install an older kernel?
[04:45] <mypapit> Luke: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/IRC_Communication
[04:45] <Vorbote> SidSilver4: The user in question should add an "export LANG=blah" to his/her .bashrc
[04:45] <mypapit> Luke: lot of openoffice.org hotshot are there
[04:45] <David777> Valmarko: Can you run "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows"?
[04:45] <Journeyman> Raven, a gui to configure apache?
[04:45] <David777> Valmarko: You have to create "/mnt/windows" first though...
[04:45] <mypapit> Luke: you prolly need #users.openoffice.org
[04:45] <Luke> mypapit: thanks! i
[04:45] <Vorbote> Raven: no such thing.
[04:45] <Journeyman> why not just configure the httpd.conf file what do you need a gui for?
[04:46] <Raven> yes m , I used to use comanche in windows of I have heard of webmin
[04:46] <David777> Tazmon: Yes, you can install an older kernel, but it might be difficult.
[04:46] <Tazmon> that's not just for apache though raven
[04:46] <Vorbote> Raven: webmin is an option but is it a can of worms, and as far as I know RedHat tools have not been ported.
[04:46] <pakix> where can i change the Splash Screen which is downloaded from art.gnome.org
[04:46] <cyber> lol umm raven do it the normal way
[04:46] <pakix> thx
[04:46] <cyber> gui ftl
[04:46] <Tazmon> I'm using ISPConfig now... but that's a pretty hard install
[04:47] <Journeyman> Raven,  the apache config is super easy, why would you need a gui to edit it?
[04:47] <Valmarko> I dont understand linux at all because I just started using ubuntu yesterday. Waht I can say is that the tow SO are already isntalled. Grub does the selection :)
[04:47] <Raven> ok how do i install apche with all the php mysql etc
[04:47] <David777> Valmarko: You need to open an xterm window.
[04:47] <Journeyman> install php
[04:47] <Journeyman> and install mysql
[04:47] <Valmarko> The problem is: I want to transfer one file from ubuntu to sda1, where windows is installed
[04:47] <David777> Valmarko: Then I can walk you through the steps of mounting sda1 and copying your file there.
[04:48] <Tazmon> Raven, here's my favorite place for server setup help http://www.howtoforge.com/
[04:48] <Valmarko> tanks
[04:48] <Raven> cheers tazmon
[04:48] <Tazmon> Raven: if you want the next step too, check out ISPConfig
[04:49] <blaa> How can I install tomcat 5.5 on dapper?
[04:49] <Raven> cheers
[04:49] <cyber> lol @ acidburn
[04:49] <Tazmon> I'll tell you though, the setups and learning the interface can be a pain
[04:49] <cyber> u should be more original :?
[04:49] <Journeyman> seariously? AcidBurn ?
[04:50] <cyber> Journeyman, hacker movies ftl :/
[04:50] <AcidBurn> is there a wifi meter, than can detect wireless net connection as a software app
[04:50] <Journeyman> I know what it is from
[04:50] <Journeyman> I was asking if this guy is for real
[04:50] <AcidBurn> yep
[04:50] <compengi> Valmarko, your sda1 is NTFS and you can't right from EXT3-EXT2 to NTFS
[04:50] <Journeyman> airsnort
[04:50] <cyber> valarians,  set up an ftp server :P
[04:50] <David777> compengi: Newer kernels support writing to NTFS
[04:50] <Journeyman> but I guess you want more of a meter
[04:51] <Valmarko> tank you
[04:51] <compengi> David777, i couldn't right ;)
[04:51] <cyber> lol seriously Valmarko i think it might be easyer :P
[04:51] <David777> compengi: I use SystemRescueCD to write to NTFS partitions all the time.
[04:51] <stoorty> use ntfs-3g
[04:51] <David777> I think that uses a 2.6.15 kernel
[04:52] <stoorty> or just create a fat partition
[04:52] <blaa> help me
[04:52] <stoorty> and use that for swapping between os
[04:52] <blaa> !tomcat5.5 | blaa

[04:53] <AcidBurn> journeyman: airsnort, it seem to be a cracker? but it will see other networks, like when I visited, a bookstore, they do offer wireless sevices..
[04:53] <compengi> David777, i had removed windows and nfts partions as well :D
[04:53] <Journeyman> AcidBurn, airsnort isn't a cracker
[04:53] <David777> Raven: If you have aptitude, you can use it to install Apache
[04:53] <compengi> David777, pure linux :P
[04:53] <gpd> i am trying to help someone install ubuntu dapper via telephone - are there screen shots of the manual partition somewhere?
[04:53] <Journeyman> it can be used to crack WEP keys but that is not it's primary purpose
[04:53] <Raven> cheers david777
[04:53] <David777> Raven: aptitude is a character mode interface to apt.
[04:54] <AcidBurn> thanks......

[04:55] <Tazmon> Acid, kismet is a big one
[04:55] <Journeyman> gpd, yes but they are hard to find
[04:55] <Tazmon> and I've heard of airfart... but never used it
[04:55] <gpd> Journeyman: i can find screens for server - but not desktop. - any ideas/?
[04:56] <David777> gpd: Just get them to open an xterm
[04:56] <David777> gpd: Is this during install?
[04:56] <gpd> yes in stall
[04:56] <Journeyman> *shurg* is the server a cli install?
[04:56] <David777> Augh
[04:56] <gpd> they are stuck on the screen where the partitioner asks for the mount points
[04:56] <Journeyman> i hate how linux does paritions :)
[04:56] <gpd> says that the windows partition has errors
[04:56] <David777> gpd: There are virtual terminals available during the install
[04:56] <Tazmon> AcidBurn: check out http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/
[04:57] <David777> gpd: They could switch to a virtual terminal and run the character mode partitioner of choice
[04:57] <gpd> David777: ok - what is the character mode installer agina?
[04:57] <David777> Well, there's always fdisk...but I don't know what the installer uses.
[04:58] <David777> Lemme check what's on the CD-ROM
[04:58] <gpd> David777: the partitions are fine
[04:58] <AcidBurn> tarzmon: tks, but it does not work broadcom 4318
[04:58] <gpd> David777: he can't seem to get past the mount point setup
[04:58] <cyber> hmm
[04:58] <Journeyman> how hard is it to make 2 paritions
[04:58] <Journeyman> / and swap
[04:59] <cyber> i have a file, it looks like an exacutable file, pure-ftpd
[04:59] <cyber> how do i run it?
[04:59] <Journeyman> cyber, ./pure-ftpd
[04:59] <gpd> Journeyman: the partitions are there - but when he goes past it says 'fat 32 disk has uncorrected errors-'
[04:59] <Journeyman> o.O
[04:59] <Journeyman> weird
[04:59] <leafw> any clue on how to launch emacs without X, so that it remains inside an xterm?
[04:59] <jrib> !info pure-ftpd | cyber
[04:59] <ubotu> pure-ftpd: Pure-FTPd FTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.21-5ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 150 kB, installed size 460 kB
[05:00] <jrib> cyber: pure-ftpd is in the repositories, no need to run an executable you download.  Just install using synaptic or apt-get
[05:00] <SidSilver4> i don't know how many times Ubuntu asks me for my password again when I am sure I tied it correctly the first time
[05:00] <SidSilver4> anyone else experience this?
[05:00] <David777> leafw: run emacs instead of xemacs
[05:00] <SidSilver4> typed it correctly
[05:00] <Journeyman> leafw, man emacs
[05:00] <David777> leafw: emacs may be sym-linked to xemacs.
[05:01] <gpd> If i can ssh into this jmachine can i install from there?
[05:01] <cyber> jrib, i compiled frmo source
[05:01] <Journeyman> or use vi *GRIN*
[05:01] <cyber> even tho i had no idea what was going on :P
[05:01] <jrib> cyber: right, no need to do that
[05:01] <cyber> i just did ./configure then make & then make install
[05:01] <cyber> but yea its running now, well seems to be
[05:01] <gpd> ie. is there a curses install on the live disk?
[05:01] <David777> leafw: Type "ls -l `which emacs`" and tell us what you see
[05:02] <David777> gpd: I think you either have to be at the console or use a serial line.
[05:02] <rausb0> jrib: i think this is the most common mistake of linux newbies now. they try to install software downloadeded from anywhere instead of taking it from the repos.
[05:02] <leafw> David777 : -nw does it. Apparently emacs launches the GUI whenever there is #DISPLAY defined
[05:02] <cyber> hmm jrib telnet from my M$ to the ftpd
[05:02] <cyber> i log in fine but when i try ls or dir
[05:02] <David777> leafw: Good to know
[05:02] <cyber> i get " non data connection"
[05:02] <cyber> "no data connection"
[05:03] <cyber> any ideas?
[05:03] <cyber> altho i think its ftp client related
[05:03] <David777> Well thanks for all the help folks, lol
[05:03] <asdf__> why does flash crash on the thin client
[05:03] <gpd> ok --  i have screenshots of his machines -- he has 'no mount point selected for sdb1 -- but we wnt to install on sda!?
[05:03] <leafw> David777 : ls -l `which emacs` prints  /usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs
[05:03] <jrib> cyber: idk, I've never used telnet to ftp
[05:03] <leafw> David777 : ubuntu has its weirdos ...
[05:03] <gpd> sdb1 refuses to have no mount point?
[05:03] <cyber> i im not telnetin lol
[05:04] <cyber> i meant ot say ftp =D
[05:04] <cyber> there we go
[05:04] <cyber> i now have access  to my whole file system
[05:04] <cyber> through pure-ftpd
[05:04] <cyber> instant shareing ftw
[05:04] <cyber> much easyer then setting up samba or sumthing like that
[05:05] <jrib> !enter
[05:05] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[05:05] <cyber> thanks for the help guys
[05:05] <asdf__> why does flash crash on the thin client
[05:05] <jrib> cyber: np, glad it works, but in the future I would recommend installing packages fromt he repositories instead of compiling
[05:05] <Journeyman> cyber, ftp is differenet than samba
[05:05] <Journeyman> samba allows for real time running of files
[05:06] <Journeyman> it is more of a remote drive, or network file system if you will
[05:06] <Journeyman> but fur coping files, yes it is a much better protocol to use
[05:06] <Journeyman> or
[05:06] <Journeyman> erm for8
[05:06] <Journeyman> dang, I give up
[05:06] <Randakar> bah, update-grub bails out when it generates menu.list
[05:06] <DARKGuy> lol
[05:07] <Journeyman> cyber, keep in mind that ftp is a plain-text protocol, so don't use it on a network you don't trust, for that there is sftp
[05:07] <asdf__> so any help
[05:08] <jrib> asdf__: what does this command return:    xdpyinfo | grep 'depth of root'
[05:08] <cyber> yea Journeyman i just needed a simple way of shareing files on my home network
[05:08] <Randakar> of course nobody seems interested in debugging the update-grub shell script ;-)
[05:08] <constrictor> how do i see a server's ssh configuration
[05:09] <kynes> I installed edgy eft 1 hour ago
[05:09] <kynes> everything is good but...
[05:09] <asdf__> jrib,   depth of root window:    16 planes
[05:09] <kynes> when I modify menu.lst
[05:09] <cyber> no malicous users, yes i know it is diffrent to samba, diffrence that i like the most is pure-ftpd works & is set up easily, samba is a mission. yes jrib i know i should use the repositry's but u have to compile stuff some times, i mean other wise u never learn
[05:09] <rausb0> cyber: you could also have installed openssh-server on the ubuntu box and winscp on the windows box
[05:09] <kynes> it is written correctly, but there is no change
[05:09] <voraistos> cyber you can use nfs, its fast and very reliable, and you can share with windows as well if you install windows services for unix from the microsoft website
[05:09] <kynes> I make default 5 (windows) and ubuntu comes up selected..
[05:09] <kynes> everytime
[05:10] <jrib> cyber: you could learn to recompile the ubuntu source package too (giving ideas)
[05:10] <kynes> and another issue (bug)
[05:10] <jrib> asdf__: you may be bitten by this bug, please try one of the workarounds listed in the comments:  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/14911
[05:10] <kynes> livecd is working strangely and doesn't install in my HP nx5000 laptop
[05:10] <cyber> ok 1 last question. if i cd to the dir of pure-ftpd. i use ./pure-ftpd to exacute it, but this is in a terminal and the terminal stays open. how do i make it so it runs in the back ground?
[05:11] <constrictor> is there a way of looking a a server's SSH configuration from the command line?
[05:11] <cyber> & how would i shut it down in the correct fassion
[05:11] <asdf__> jrib, i'll take a look
[05:11] <jrib> constrictor: take a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:11] <voraistos> cyber add && at the end
[05:11] <rausb0> constrictor: less /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:11] <constrictor> thanks
[05:11] <cyber> thanks voraistos, any ideas on stopping it :P
[05:12] <voraistos> i usually press the power button but shutdown command exists i think :)
[05:12] <constrictor> thanks
[05:12] <kynes> please help..
[05:13] <kynes> timeout modification in menu.lst works.. but OS selection modification does not
[05:13] <voraistos> !anyone
[05:13] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."   I use 'savedefault' myself, that way it boots the last menu entry you chose
[05:14] <kynes> I also did "default saved" and sudo grub-reboot 5
[05:15] <kynes> Randakar: could you show me your menu.list file?
[05:15] <h0ax> hello anyone hree ?
[05:15] <lumpki> kynes, menu.lst is probably doing exactly what you told it to
[05:15] <kynes> I tried savedefault stuff.. it didn't work either
[05:15] <Rocito> how do i limit up/download rates on single programs or ports ?
[05:15] <kynes> lumpki: I have 5 items in the list
[05:15] <Randakar> kynes: Doubt my menu.list would help you, I've never tried doing what you're describing there.
[05:15] <jrib> asdf__: hmm mayb be different then, but try closing all firefox and starting it as:  XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox
[05:15] <kynes> lumpki: and the last one is Windows..
[05:15] <kynes> lumpki: it boots correctly by manual selection..
[05:16] <h0ax> can i run ubuntu on a 166mhz pc ?
[05:16] <jbroome> probably not with a GUI
[05:16] <miles_> h0ax, try Xubuntu
[05:16] <asdf__> jrib, how do i make it run like that
[05:16] <David777> Haha!! I'm a wily hacker and you folks aren't!
[05:16] <Randakar> h0ax: Don't expect that to run with anything near decent speed at any rate ;-)
[05:16] <h0ax> wats Xubuntu
[05:16] <Aversin> anyone got a sec? I have a newbie problem
[05:17] <constrictor> can someone tell me why there could be a cron job running each hour although i have not set one up?
[05:17] <Randakar> k0ax: I'm running the server edition on a 200Mhz one though. No desktop however.
[05:17] <Randakar> h0ax: xubuntu
[05:17] <cyber> ok, i would like to create 2 launchers, 1 to shut down pureftpd and one to start it again
[05:17] <cyber> could some one please pvt me
[05:17] <lumpki> kynes, put 'default 4' in the file to boot the fifth OS
[05:17] <cyber> i would appreciate pvt help
[05:17] <jbroome> constrictor: look in /etc/cron.hourly/
[05:17] <h0ax> wats xubuntu
[05:17] <jrib> asdf__: you would enter that in a terminal
[05:17] <constrictor> thanks
[05:17] <Randakar> !xubuntu
[05:17] <kynes> lumpki: man... I'm sorry
[05:17] <ubotu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[05:17] <lumpki> kynes, look in the comments of menu.lst to see how it works
[05:17] <kynes> lumpki: I should have seen..
[05:18] <David777> lol, For anyone who is interested, the brute force approach to preventing the "Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30" is to blacklist your frame buffer driver in /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.
[05:18] <asdf__> jrib, i tryed alt f2 one sec
[05:18] <jrib> asdf__: I'm not too familiar with thin clients, so if I say doesn't make sense, let me know
[05:18] <lumpki> kynes, np man
[05:18] <h0ax> thnaks
[05:18] <Aversin> anyone got a sec? I have a newbie problem
[05:18] <jbroome> Aversin: ask the ?

[05:19] <CREWMAN_peppe> hi guys i have a problem: my notebook has an ati radeon 9600 i run ubuntu edgy with proprietary driver. Notwithstanding i have installed correctly the driver (and both games or xgl runs smoothly) i have slow screensavers
[05:19] <voraistos> David777: Well Hitler was doing the same kind of stuff, but his life ended up early.
[05:19] <CREWMAN_peppe> only screensavers run slowly
[05:19] <David777> Funny think is that the blacklist-framebuffer driver says this at the top: "# Framebuffer drivers are generally buggy and poorly-supported, and cause
[05:19] <David777> # suspend failures, kernel panics and general mayhem.  For this reason we
[05:19] <David777> # never load them automatically.
[05:19] <h0ax> i dont have 128mb ram for xubuntu do i need 128 ?
[05:19] <Aversin> I can get windows to see the shared file on the samba server, but I cant write to it. I also cant get the ubuntu box to see the windows box. Any ideas?
[05:19] <jrib> asdf__: what about:  FIREFOX_DSP=none firefox
[05:19] <apixelatedoffice> could someone tell me the EASIEST way to view nfo files on Linux (Ubuntu)?
[05:20] <jbroome> apixelatedoffice: less *.nfo
[05:20] <voraistos> gedit ?
[05:20] <h0ax> i dont have 128mb ram for xubuntu do i need 128 ?
[05:20] <Randakar> h0ax: To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM, when using the Alternate Install CD you can do with 64 MB.
[05:20] <jbroome> they're just text files
[05:20] <Rocito> how do i throttle up/download rates to programs or ports in ubuntu?
[05:20] <Randakar> h0ax: that's from http://xubuntu.org/get
[05:21] <apixelatedoffice> well if I change the extension to .txt, it's still garbled.
[05:21] <cyber> h0ax, get ureself a new machine =D
[05:21] <Randakar> Rocito: that's traffic shaping
[05:21] <h0ax> its an old one i had in the cubbaord lol
[05:21] <asdf__> jrib, The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
[05:21] <asdf__> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[05:21] <asdf__> The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.

[05:21] <asdf__>   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
[05:21] <asdf__>    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
[05:21] <asdf__>    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
[05:21] <asdf__>    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
[05:21] <Randakar> Rocito: possible, but it will require a lot of manual text-mode command typing

[05:27] <timo90> when adding public keys do you type them in the terminal or do you paste them on the souces.list

[05:27] <cyber> jrib, you cant use sudo when ure using the GUI file browser :/
[05:27] <jrib> cyber: gksudo nautilus  , but I'd recommend not using it often.  Maybe you should setup a group with /var/www
[05:28] <cyber> a group?
[05:29] <jrib> cyber: yeah, 'www-data' is the usual one I think.  Just change group ownership to www-data and allow the group to read write and execute

[05:40] <bthornton> Randakar: I thought so.  Well, as long as php4 and php5 play nicely together, I'll go ahead and install.  Thanks!
[05:40] <Randakar> bthornton: usually it's a matter of having a #!/usr/bin/php4 link at the top, or having a .php4 filename extension

[05:46] <jrib> asdf__: apt-get is just the command line way of doing the same thing as the package manager
[05:47] <kudzubane> how do i use python 2.5 after install as a user, but keep python 2.4.x as default python for running of essential scripts?
[05:47] <Randakar> PaSurf: sounds like that applet crashes
[05:47] <jrib> kudzubane: you run python2.5 to use python2.5, python should still point to python2.4
[05:47] <DanglyBits> what is the best choice for a mail server for edgy ubuntu?
[05:47] <mormoloc> where can i find a list of all ink-jet printers under linux/ubuntu?
[05:47] <budw> matju: mine stays at 600 MHz until I put a load on it
[05:47] <Rocito> Randakar; how do i remove sambausers?
[05:47] <budw> then it jumps up automaticly
[05:48] <kudzubane> jrib: and, if i want to set python2.5 as default?
[05:48] <Flankk> Ubuntu is sporadically shutting down my PC.  What should I do?
[05:48] <lumpki> patrixx, there's one called ispconfig
[05:48] <Randakar> Rocito: smbpasswd -x user
[05:48] <matju> budw: ah, but here, it stayed at 1730 MHz until very recently
[05:48] <jrib> kudzubane: you would make the /usr/bin/python link point to python2.5 I guess
[05:48] <wavefunction> After installing realplayer, using the .bin available at www.real.com I still cannot watch any .ram within firefox. At /usr/lib/firefox/plugins there are "nphelix.so", "nphelix.xpt". Are the any additional step should I follow to make realplayer plugin available at firefox ?
[05:48] <patrixx> ok
[05:48] <patrixx> ISP config
[05:49] <kudzubane> Flankk: is ubuntu doing a proper shutdown, or does the machine just power off
[05:49] <PaSurf> Randakar:  I think so.  Is there anyway to resolve that without the reinstall?  You know when you get the system setup the way you like then something like this happens.  I just want to have the system sync with an network NTP server
[05:49] <Rocito> Randakar: how do i bring up a list of all sambausers?
[05:49] <lumpki> http://www.ispconfig.org/
[05:49] <patrixx> maybe i look at this
[05:49] <matju> budw: and you're right, it's increasing, which would explain the crazy values I get when trying to profile a program...
[05:49] <patrixx> thanks ispconfig
[05:49] <fwap> how can i get the default ubuntu gui shell/terminal to have a black background? (instead of white)
[05:49] <Randakar> PaSurf: Doesn't it do that by default already?
[05:49] <budw> matju: the bios upgrade probably improved CPU handling
[05:49] <Randakar> Rocito: not sure actually
[05:49] <jbroome> fwap: edit > profiles
[05:49] <kudzubane> jrib: i wonder if python2.5 can be set the same way java is set via an alternatives script
[05:50] <Flankk> kudzubane, it does a proper shutdown.   I don't even know how to upgrade the BIOS.
[05:50] <Randakar> Rocito: but I'd first remove just the one you use to connect to that box, to see if it helps
[05:50] <budw> matju: throtling is good - saves power - reduces heat - and doesn't affect performance much
[05:50] <jrib> kudzubane: I wouldn't recommend making python2.5 default.  It doesn't seem to use alternatives, but you can add it if you want
[05:50] <plsDaemon> Again jdk: how to use certain directory as default
[05:50] <budw> matju: I see
[05:50] <PaSurf> Randakar:  nope.  System is showing totally different time than supposed to.  I guess I could change time via command line
[05:50] <kudzubane> Flankk: it might not be ubuntu shutting down your machine, but the machine shutting itself down
[05:50] <matju> budw: my problem isn't so much performance, it's the measurement of performance, and for that i need something that can be stable when i need it to
[05:51] <jrib> plsDaemon: how are you installing java?
[05:51] <plsDaemon> /opt/jdk/bin/java -> straight from here
[05:51] <Flankk> kudzubane, I don't have this problem under Windows.
[05:51] <plsDaemon> i ran the installer
[05:51] <kudzubane> Flankk: b/c you are not using acpi, your cpu fan might be be kicking in (many times acpi controlled)
[05:51] <Randakar> PaSurf: do you have ntp installed? That's the program you need to auto-sync time servers. Also, run 'tzconfig' to see if you have the timezone set up correctly
[05:51] <PaSurf> Randakar:  But wife uses the machine too.  It breaks her heart not to have the correct time or the ability to change it...  :)
[05:51] <jrib> plsDaemon: why not use the ubuntu packages?  Then alternatives will get setup for you
[05:51] <wavefunction> fwap,  go to menu 'Edit' > 'Current profile'. Go to 'colors' tab and choose the colors you want.
[05:51] <cmt^^> Randakar - any ideas on how to solve my fglrx-problem?
[05:51] <Randakar> PaSurf: Yeah, I can imagine.
[05:51] <PaSurf> Randakar:  Ya, did it from aptitude
[05:52] <kudzubane> Flankk: and if the cpu fan isn't on, then the cpu will likely overheat, at which time the hardware detects overheating of cpu and performs a thermal-triggered shutdown
[05:52] <plsDaemon> okay, I'll try
[05:52] <matju> budw: if i run a busy loop with nice -20, my program looks like it's more than twice faster.
[05:52] <jrib> !java > plsDaemon
[05:52] <Flankk> kudzubane, I turned ACPI in an attempt to solve this problem.
[05:52] <wavefunction> fwap, and do not forget to save your profile to make this change persist.
[05:52] <matju> budw: the busy loop makes the CPU stick to high speed.
[05:52] <Flankk> kudzubane, turned ACPI off*
[05:52] <Randakar> cmt^^: you could try moving xorg.conf away (mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup) and then running dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server)
[05:53] <Randakar> cmt^^: that should generate a 'clean' x.org config file, hopefully your ati configuration tool will actually do something then next time you run it.
[05:53] <cmt^^> Randakar - I found this when doing fglrxinfo:
[05:53] <cmt^^> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:53] <Randakar> PaSurf: I'd check the timezone configuration first, then run ntpdate to see if it syncs
[05:54] <olds> need to install mp3 codecs on fresh edgy install
[05:54] <olds> how do I go about that
[05:54] <PaSurf> Randakar:  Sounds good, thanks for the help!  :)
[05:54] <fwap> how can i get to a normal text based virtual console in ubuntu and how do i switch back and forth to Gnome? (i tried ctrl+alt+backspace but it just took me to the gnome login screen)
[05:54] <kudzubane> Flankk: have you peeped in the logs to see whether that sheds any light?
[05:54] <jrib> !mp3 > olds
[05:54] <Randakar> cmt^^: yep, sounds like the config file is wrong then
[05:54] <fwap> !mp3 > fwap
[05:55] <A3n> how do i turn on a wireless device ?
[05:55] <Randakar> fwap: ctrl-alt-f1
[05:55] <A3n> i read http://www.ioi.knaw.nl/~heimel/computers/connecting_wireless.html but i'm not on laptop
[05:55] <Randakar> fwap: back is alt-f7
[05:55] <A3n> so no 'FP' key :s
[05:55] <Randakar> fwap: or ctrl-f7, I forget  ;-)
[05:55] <budw> matju: I see.  you may be out of luck - I can't disable throttling on my laptop.  What does this program do that requires consistant CPU resources?
[05:55] <fwap> ah so it's like normal linux
[05:55] <fwap> thanks
[05:55] <Randakar> fwap: np
[05:56] <Flankk> kudzubane, yes, that's how I found out it was shutting down due to ACPI.  However it's still shutting down when it is off.
[05:56] <ajopaul_> anyone using/used enlightenment wm here?
[05:56] <kudzubane> Flankk: how are you disabling acpi?
[05:56] <Randakar> ajopaul_: yes, but it's been 7 years or so .. so maybe I don't count ;-)
[05:56] <cmt^^> haha
[05:57] <cmt^^> Randakar - package "xorg-server" is not installed and there is no information
[05:57] <A3n> how do i turn on wireless device ? are there function keys for it for PC's too? (like FN + F3 in notebook)
[05:57] <ajopaul_> oh! was on e16, din figure how to run a command , like alt-f2 in other desktops
[05:57] <lumpki> !resolution
[05:57] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:57] <budw> matju: can you try to pace the app with system clock (ex sleep()) instead of CPU load?
[05:57] <cmt^^> Randakar - strange huh?
[05:57] <Flankk> kudzubane, in my grub menu.lst I set acpi=off
[05:58] <matju> budw: the program is a user interface for a sound/video program, and i'm trying to accelerate it, so i need to measure how fast it is, but the test is only a few seconds, and the cpu clock change is skewing the results, so i can't figure out how to accelerate my program.
[05:58] <Randakar> cmt^^: a moment
[05:59] <Randakar> cmt^^: not really, the package is called 'xserver-xorg' ;-)
[05:59] <lumpki> yep
[05:59] <kudzubane> Flankk: did you verify acpi is indeed off after booting with that option?
[05:59] <matju> budw: no, the program doesn't do a busy loop itself, but i need to run a busy loop in the background of it so that it runs faster, in order to cancel the freq throttle.
[05:59] <rogue781> can someone direct me to how to build a kernel module and all that good stuff pleasE?
[06:00] <cmt^^> so Randakar - should I use ATI here, or go with fglrx? in the menu that comes up
[06:00] <A3n> $ ndiswrapper -l \n Installed ndis drivers: prisma00        driver present, hardware present \n$ modprobe ndiswrapper\n$ dmesg\nndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)
[06:00] <cmt^^> where I pick my driver
[06:00] <A3n> how do i start the wireless device?
[06:00] <rogue781> can someone direct me to how to build a kernel module and all that good stuff please?
[06:00] <budw> matju: I see...I don't know what you can do to get around that...
[06:00] <Randakar> cmt^^: pick ati here, if you choose the other one the configuration tool you used may just refuse to configure again
[06:00] <b_52Centos> someone know a good how top for making a Hp officeget G55 wokrking with a dapper , ?
[06:01] <A3n> how do i start wlan0 ?
[06:01] <rogue781> can someone direct me to how to build a kernel module and all that good stuff please?
[06:01] <Randakar> A3n: what's the output of iwconfig ?
[06:02] <lumpki> a3n, something like   ifup wlan0
[06:02] <A3n> it only says eth2 is a wireless device lol
[06:02] <Randakar> !kernelpackage
[06:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernelpackage - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:02] <kudzubane> A3n: once ndiswrapper and driver is loaded you should be able to control it via System>Administration>Networking
[06:02] <A3n> wich is incorect
[06:02] <Randakar> !kernel
[06:02] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:02] <A3n> k
[06:02] <David777> Kyewl, I'm a wiki editor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConsoleFramebuffer
[06:02] <A3n> ow another problem
[06:02] <burepe_> !lamp
[06:02] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[06:02] <A3n> whenever i click the package manager it doesnt loaf
[06:02] <A3n> load
[06:02] <A3n> because it does gksu
[06:02] <psyke88> hi, in a deb package, what does the variable x in x:a.b.c in the version string signify? I'm trying to compile a deb to replace xserver-xorg-video-i810, the original is 1:1.6.5, but checkinstall only allows you to create a version prefixed with 0: (i.e., 0:1.7.2), thus it thinks it's being downgraded.. can someone help?
[06:03] <compengi> !limewire
[06:03] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[06:03] <A3n> wich reports gethostnameby() not found or something
[06:03] <Randakar> psyke88: that's the epoch
[06:03] <A3n> how can i make myself root permanently?
[06:03] <cmt^^> Randakar - should I check the Use core framebuffer interface"?
[06:03] <matju> budw: ok, thanks.
[06:03] <David777> A3n: log in as root
[06:03] <Randakar> cmt^^: probably not
[06:03] <A3n> right...
[06:04] <jrib> A3n: what is the contents of:  /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[06:04] <mnoir> !root > A3n
[06:04] <A3n> i have no idea , jrib :)
[06:04] <jrib> A3n: find out :)
[06:04] <A3n> i'll look at it once in ubuntu again
[06:04] <David777> Instead of logging in using your user name at the login prompt, use "root".
[06:04] <jrib> A3n: are you in windows now?
[06:04] <lumpki> David777, ubuntu uses sudo
[06:04] <A3n> yes
[06:04] <A3n> dual booting
[06:04] <jrib> !ext3 | A3n
[06:04] <ubotu> A3n: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[06:04] <David777> lumpki: I use root
[06:04] <A3n> i need internet in ubuntu
[06:04] <Randakar> psyke88: epochs are introduced to upgrade something to something with a lower version number, usually because something broke on the newer version
[06:04] <David777> lumpki: And I use ubuntu.
[06:04] <A3n> and write?
[06:05] <jrib> A3n: yes
[06:05] <A3n> i always mount hda1
[06:05] <lumpki> yes, it can be enabled, but you cant log in as root by default
[06:05] <psyke88> Randakar, is it possible to specify the epoch in checkinstall?
[06:05] <jrib> A3n: the reason you can't use sudo is in those two files, we can fix that from windows if you install fs-driver and get you back in shape
[06:05] <Randakar> psyke88: normally you can bump the version number yourselves by adding a changelog entry for it. but I don't know if that includes epochs
[06:05] <David777> lumpki: If you are a regular desktop user, sudo is fine.  If you are an actual system administrator (like me) you want to be logged in as root all the time.
[06:06] <jrib> David777: that is what 'sudo -i' is for
[06:06] <cmt^^> Randakar - I have a philips 190B 19" LCD, should I still just go with "Generic Monitor"?
[06:06] <Randakar> cmt^^: yeah, most monitors are autodetected fine
[06:06] <David777> jrib: It's just easier for me to log in as root.
[06:06] <jrib> David777: that is fine
[06:06] <mnoir> David777: yeah - that wat there is no audit trail as to who actually made the changes - I don't think so
[06:06] <lumpki> David777, A3n is not a sysadmin
[06:06] <ClydeGoffe> hey does anyone know how to get audio working with ubuntu 6.10 server
[06:06] <mnoir> wat=way :)
[06:07] <David777> jrib: I have to use many distros and I don't like having to keep track of each method of assuming root.
[06:07] <ClydeGoffe> i dont want to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:07] <Randakar> David777: I just did a 'sudo bash' and changed the password for root. Much easier for an oldtimer ;-)
[06:07] <mnoir> David777: so which distributions do not support sudo?
[06:08] <A3n> i always set myself root with su => [password]  but i always log in with my account "a3n" on boot
[06:08] <SpaceBass> hey folks
[06:08] <A3n> guess i'll have to try logging in as "root"
[06:08] <cmt^^> ok now I'm done Randakar.. Restart X?
[06:08] <jrib> David777: yes, I understand.  And I think you should use whatever you prefer.  In ubuntu however, the sudo model is preferred, so we tend to recommend that to users.  Usually we just link to the sudo wiki page to let users make up their own minds and avoid this discussion every time :)
[06:08] <cmt^^> and then try sudo ati-configure...
[06:08] <SpaceBass> I just installed ubuntu on hda (first IDE drive) and it wanted to install grub on hd0 ...which i let it
[06:08] <Randakar> cmt^^: sounds like an idea
[06:08] <SpaceBass> now when I boot for the first time i get grub error 2
[06:08] <Randakar> cmt^^: of course, if it doesn't work, you can just put your xorg.conf back and be right back where you started.
[06:08] <ClydeGoffe> anyone?
[06:09] <David777> mnoir: I don't know.  I don't keep track.  Right now, one project I'm on doesn't even use a distro.  It just has a cross-compiled busybox and some other software.  No sudo.
[06:09] <kittyhawk> greetings.  Can anyone tell me the right way to get the public key for the development packages?
[06:09] <jrib> A3n: did you understand what I said about why sudo wasn't working for you?
[06:09] <lumpki> ClydeGoffe, i think you want alsa apckages
[06:09] <lumpki> *packages
[06:09] <A3n> not mush
[06:09] <A3n> :)
[06:09] <A3n> srr
[06:09] <ClydeGoffe> just apt-get install alsa?
[06:09] <lumpki> apt-cache show asla  first  ;)
[06:10] <Randakar> !SpaceBass: sounds like grub did not install properly then
[06:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about SpaceBass: sounds like grub did not install properly then - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:10] <jrib> A3n: ok, you have an error in either /etc/hostname or /etc/hosts.  So to fix this, you can install fs-driver on windows.  That way you can edit the files on your linux partition.  Just pastebin the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[06:10] <ClydeGoffe> let me give you the run down...i have ubuntu server installed on my laptop
[06:10] <ClydeGoffe> i dont like the desktop version
[06:10] <compengi> why it's not secure to install .rpm packages by alien?
[06:10] <ClydeGoffe> not a fan of gnome
[06:10] <Randakar> SpaceBass: (sorry for stating the obvious)
[06:10] <ClydeGoffe> so i've installed xorg and afterstep
[06:10] <SpaceBass> Randakar, yeah...i kinda figured that :)
[06:10] <ClydeGoffe> haven't figured out how to get my sound working but i'll try looking into alsa
[06:10] <A3n> jrib: k
[06:11] <SpaceBass> When I tried to specify that it install on hda it errored out during the install
[06:11] <ClydeGoffe> will it configure it for my sound card?
[06:11] <Randakar> SpaceBass: can you be a bit more specific when you say 'error 2' ?
[06:11] <SpaceBass> so it only likes to install on hd0...and I'm not even sure what hd0 is
[06:11] <Garito> hi all
[06:11] <ClydeGoffe> do i need to start alsa manually or will it start automatically with the proper settings?
[06:11] <SpaceBass> Randakar, thats all the screen says .... grub error 2
[06:11] <DeathWolf> hello all, when i do "su username"(with a correct username) it says "no shell", i checked, and the shell is fine, i tried with many users, and it always gives that error, also these users can ssh in fine
[06:11] <David777> lol, you gotta like aptitude
[06:11] <compengi> SpaceBass, what's the problem?
[06:11] <lumpki> ClydeGoffe, maybe sude apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:11] <DeathWolf> it's just when i try to su that it goes wrong, any ideas?
[06:11] <jamclx> hey, im using wine with ubuntu and im wondering how to make it run exe files when I double click them...
[06:11] <SpaceBass> compengi, fresh install to hda trying for the first boot...grub error 2
[06:12] <ClydeGoffe> i dont like kde either
[06:12] <paradox34690> can someone tell me how I can put the trashcan on the desktop of ubuntu 6.10 rather than having it in the panel?
[06:12] <Randakar> SpaceBass: there's a list here: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_13.html
[06:12] <jrib> !icons | paradox34690
[06:12] <ubotu> paradox34690: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[06:12] <ClydeGoffe> xfce is ok but i prefer afterstep
[06:12] <lumpki> ClydeGoffe, ok, then well it's libalsa something or other i belive
[06:12] <compengi> SpaceBass, are you trying to install ubuntu?
[06:12] <SpaceBass> compengi, yeah
[06:12] <ClydeGoffe> alright i'll try looking into that
[06:13] <ClydeGoffe> thanks
[06:13] <lumpki> ClydeGoffe, libasound2
[06:13] <Randakar> SpaceBass: 2 : Bad file or directory type
[06:13] <Randakar>     This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO.
[06:13] <SpaceBass> compengi, got a software raid5 array I want to preserve then a stand-alone system drive (hda) which I'm trying to install onto
[06:13] <jrib> DeathWolf: weird, what shell is the user's default?
[06:13] <Randakar> SpaceBass: did you install it on 'hda0', or on 'hda0,0' ?
[06:13] <SpaceBass> Randakar, yeah...thats about as ambigious as saying "error 2" :)
[06:13] <burepe_> Where does drupal install to?
[06:13] <Randakar> SpaceBass: unfortunately ;-)
[06:13] <SpaceBass> Randakar, the installer said grub would install on hd0   not hda0 or anything else
[06:14] <A3n> jrib: do i need to install linux swap too?
[06:14] <Randakar> SpaceBass: at any rate, the solution here would be to run grub from live CD, see if it installes
[06:14] <A3n> jrib:or just the linux partition?
[06:14] <wavefunction> Does anyone know how to get realplayer plugin functioning on Edgy ?
[06:14] <jbroome> !realplayer | wavefunction
[06:14] <ubotu> wavefunction: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:14] <jrib> A3n: no, we just need access to /
[06:14] <compengi> SpaceBass, i think you should remove your partition that you want to install your ubuntu on and create a new ext3 one, maybe that will help
[06:14] <SpaceBass> Randakar, not opposed to that, but not sure how to do much with grub via the commandline
[06:14] <Randakar> SpaceBass: me neither to be honest ;-)
[06:15] <SpaceBass> compengi, during the install I told it to wipe hda and create a new structure
[06:15] <fnf> Does anyone know how to setup the local network between 2 PCs ?. I installed Ubuntu on a friend's machine but she hasn't got network access yet. I'd want to transfer updates to her machine without having to use the additional USB drive.
[06:15] <jamclx> how can I make wine open exe files in ubuntu?
[06:15] <carld> is doing an upgrade to edgy *safe* yet?
[06:15] <David777> Gah, why does Ubuntu have to use such a crazy setup for Apache
[06:15] <jrib> jamclx: wine file.exe
[06:15] <carld> jamclx, wine notepad.exe
[06:15] <jamclx> yes but how can I make it do that automatically?
[06:15] <Randakar> SpaceBass: but it sounds like you don't have a menu.list (which configures partitions) and grub gives up in confusion or something
[06:15] <jamclx> like, when I double click an exe file
[06:15] <jbroome> jamclx: right click on .exe and choose "open with" and select wine
[06:15] <wizo> hey all, when i run ./configure, it says that it cant find libncurses or libcurses, but when i try to apt-get install libncurses5, it says that it is already up to date, why is this so?
[06:15] <Randakar> SpaceBass: what version were you installing?
[06:15] <SpaceBass> Randakar, thanks for the tips...at least increases my vocab about the issue
[06:15] <kittyhawk> I'm trying to install g++ and some other libraries, but they are not authenticated.  How can I install the appropriate public key?
[06:15] <SpaceBass> Randakar, 6.10
[06:15] <carld> wizo, you probably need to install the devel packages
[06:16] <jamclx> thanks jbroome :D
[06:16] <wavefunction> jbroome, I've already installed the restricted format, and also installed realplayer using the .bin at real.com. Any time I try to open a .rm the browser only gives me the chance to open it with an external app, not within the browser, i.e. within a plugin. :(
[06:16] <jrib> DeathWolf: http://www.sunmanagers.org/archives/1995/0281.html  the title seems promisong though i have not read it
[06:16] <jbroome> wizo: try the -dev pkgs also
[06:16] <David777> wizo, some configure files incorrectly look for the wrong name for libcurses
[06:16] <fnf> Anyone ? I know that kind of 'ad-hoc' network is possible, but haven't got to known how to configure it.
[06:16] <wizo> devel?
[06:16] <DeathWolf> jrib, permissions are fine
[06:16] <DeathWolf> and they can ssh fine, which means it works:/
[06:16] <Naamaah> hi! who knows what to do with USB hard drive (NTFS filesystem) - i can't write anything on it because of privileges. How can I change 'em?
[06:16] <Randakar> SpaceBass: hm, too bad, would have been nice if I could have told you to retry it with a newer version
[06:16] <David777> wizo: You will have to find out what the name of libcurses is on your system and modify the configure file to use that
[06:16] <wizo> David777, how can i do that?
[06:17] <wizo> should i get hte devel ones too?
[06:17] <A3n> jrib:only hosts has a little text
[06:17] <SpaceBass> Randakar, LOL!
[06:17] <carld> Naamaah, I don't know that you can write to ntfs (you can, but it isn't easy or recomended)
[06:17] <Randakar> SpaceBass: They uploaded a new grub version to feisty but i wouldn't recommend that
[06:17] <jrib> A3n: pastebin both of the files
[06:17] <ThinkingMan> OK...so I noticed that my system was failing activating swap...
[06:17] <w3ccv> jamclx, you could write a small shell script, with the name notepad (or whatver your .exe file is) make it exectuable and put it in your path. works for me
[06:17] <jrib> !pastebin | A3n
[06:17] <ubotu> A3n: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:17] <ThinkingMan> so I did a swapoff -a
[06:17] <SpaceBass> I'm on a tour of distros this week.... I wiped my suse 10 box which was the orignal host of this raid array...tried FC6 and now back to ubuntu
[06:17] <wizo> i think ill try install dev
[06:17] <wizo> then try configuring the ./config, thanks
[06:18] <David777> wizo: On my SUSE 10.1 system, the library is /usr/lib/libncurses.so
[06:18] <ThinkingMan> and then forgetting what partition I had set as swap I checked out fstab
[06:18] <Randakar> SpaceBass: Actually trying it with Dapper (6.06) might also be an option, mind - upgrading it to 6.10 later might be easier than figuring out what went wrong on the installation ;-) (I dislike grub. A lot.)
[06:18] <A3n> jrib:hostname has just the newline character and thats all
[06:18] <ThinkingMan> ....whoah my god
[06:18] <David777> wizo: Your configure script is probably looking for /usr/lib/libcurses.so (which won't exist)
[06:18] <jrib> A3n: ok, and the other file?
[06:18] <David777> wizo: You will have to edit the configure script to look for libncurses.so
[06:18] <wizo> i see, thanks
[06:18] <SpaceBass> Im gonna reinstall...and pay closer attention to the settings
[06:19] <A3n> jrib:pastin...
[06:19] <jrib> A3n: link?
[06:19] <A3n> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35601/
[06:19] <Randakar> SpaceBass: That might help
[06:19] <wizo> i`ll give it a go Davis777, thanks
[06:19] <Randakar> SpaceBass: if this problem persists, check back in. It should be fixable
[06:19] <wizo> err, which one would the configure file be named?
[06:19] <SpaceBass> Randakar, thanks!
[06:19] <David777> wizo: If you need more help, type /query David777 and you can post your script into the window.
[06:19] <SpaceBass> before I leave...how well does ubutnu play in an AD domain?
[06:19] <Randakar> SpaceBass: no problem
[06:19] <wizo> thanks ^^
[06:20] <ThinkingMan> so um... anyone want to tell me why everything in fstab is commented out with "--converted during upgrade to edgy"?
[06:20] <DeathWolf> ok even weirder
[06:20] <DeathWolf> 2 users, with exactly the same shell
[06:20] <DeathWolf> i can su to one but not to the other
[06:20] <carld> ThinkingMan, I would love to know, I am thinking about doing an upgrade
[06:20] <David777> DeathWolf: Does one have an empty password?
[06:20] <jrib> A3n: ok, first.  I thought it would be ok to write to the files, but only if you have an editor that will format the files correctly (vim?).  So I'd recommend you just reboot to ubuntu, but select "recovery mode" from the grub menu.  Then edit the files with this command: 'nano /etc/hosts' and 'nano /etc/hostname'.  In nano, to save and exit you press ctrl-o ctrl-x
[06:20] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: they changed the way Ubuntu adresses filesystems from /dev/hdX or /dev/sdX to /dev/disk/by-label/...
[06:21] <DeathWolf> nope
[06:21] <DeathWolf> both have a password
[06:21] <DeathWolf> both have a home dir too
[06:21] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: OK, so how do I find my swap partition?
[06:21] <DeathWolf> with exactly same permissions
[06:21] <DeathWolf> i'm quite surprised
[06:21] <David777> DeathWolf: Any output in dmesg?
[06:21] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: it should have left the old partition names in there in comments
[06:21] <carld> ThinkingMan, this may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=287096&page=3
[06:21] <foxtrot> Therefore,
[06:21] <jrib> A3n: You want to pick a hostname.  For example "ubuntu".  Make your /etc/hostname file contain only that: "ubuntu".  In your /etc/hosts, change the first line to:  "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntu" .  No quotes in the files of course
[06:21] <Darkwolf> yo
[06:21] <DeathWolf> nothing in dmesg
[06:22] <DeathWolf> or /var/log/messages
[06:22] <wizo> whoa, im assuming the configure file is named configure
[06:22] <wizo> wow, installing the dev solved it
[06:22] <David777> DeathWolf: It doesn't log the login failures?
[06:22] <David777> Augh
[06:22] <A3n> jrib:but i dont really understand what all these changes are for?
[06:22] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: if that fails, use a program like gparted or fdisk to figure out what your disk geometry looks like
[06:22] <DeathWolf> it's not a login failure
[06:22] <DeathWolf> the error is "No shell"
[06:23] <DeathWolf> if i look in auth.log
[06:23] <jrib> A3n: /etc/hostname stores your hostname.  sudo uses /etc/hosts to make sure your hostname points back to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:23] <DeathWolf> ah
[06:23] <DeathWolf> it does
[06:23] <David777> What's it say DeathWolf?
[06:24] <A3n> jrib: ow, so if i change that i'l be able to be root on "a3n"
[06:24] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: also, if you look in /dev/disk/by-label/ and do an ls -ld there you'll find the labels are actually symlinks pointing to drives
[06:24] <DeathWolf> David777, what does?
[06:24] <DeathWolf> the really weird part is that it does work for one user but not for another
[06:24] <David777> DeathWolf: auth.log?
[06:24] <cj> I need a picture of Feisty Fawn to put on my fridge for my daughter.  do we have one?
[06:24] <jrib> A3n: yes, if you change "ubuntu" to "a3n" in what I said.  You become root with the sudo command
[06:24] <compengi> when i'm trying to run limewire it gives me runLime.sh: 44: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
[06:24] <jrib> !sudo > A3n
[06:24] <DeathWolf> Dec  6 19:02:57 sd-3325 su[7420] : (pam_unix) session opened for user blablabla by (uid=0)
[06:24] <SpaceBass> ok back in the install... it still says grub will be installed to (hd0)  ... so is hd0 some kind of shortcut to the MBR of the first drive?
[06:24] <David777> DeathWolf: auth.log should say why the user could not authenticate.
[06:24] <rag> hello please
[06:24] <jrib> compengi: use bash instead of sh
[06:24] <DeathWolf> that's all there is
[06:24] <DeathWolf> no error, no failure
[06:24] <rag> somebody can help me for a hplip
[06:25] <jrib> !frostwire | compengi
[06:25] <ubotu> compengi: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[06:25] <A3n> jrib:yes i know what it means
[06:25] <rag> with hplip
[06:25] <David777> DeathWolf: e.g. (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=<IP_ADDRESS>  user=root
[06:25] <A3n> jrib: cant i just log in as root on boot ?
[06:25] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: bash: cd: /dev/disk/by-label/: No such file or directory
[06:25] <DeathWolf> there's no failure
[06:25] <carld> where is there a changelog for edgy or release notes?
[06:25] <DeathWolf> i cant invent one:/
[06:25] <jrib> A3n: as long as a3n is your first user, he should be in the "admin" group.  So he should be able to use sudo.  Why would you want to login as root?
[06:26] <David777> lol, ok sorry DeathWolf
[06:26] <David777> What's the error su is giving you, DeathWolf
[06:26] <cmt^^> Randakar - X crashed unfortunately
[06:26] <DeathWolf> "No shell"
[06:26] <DeathWolf> ok, i have found something new
[06:26] <cmt^^> with driver="ati"
[06:26] <A3n> jrib:does it mather wether i'm "root" or "a3n" ?
[06:26] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: that's odd
[06:26] <DeathWolf> now, sshing yields "/bin/bash: Permission denied" but the permission look fine to me
[06:26] <David777> What do the two lines in /etc/passwd look like?
[06:26] <DeathWolf> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-04-22 00:51 /bin/bash
[06:26] <DeathWolf> isnt that enough?
[06:26] <SpaceBass> what should I set as the install point for grub if I want it to go on the mbr of the first disk?
[06:26] <jrib> A3n: no you can do everything with sudo as a3n that you could do if you logged in as root
[06:27] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: and /dev/disk/by-uuid ?
[06:27] <David777> DeathWolf: You may have a hidden char in /etc/passwd
[06:27] <Randakar> cmt^^: have you rerun your ati configurator?
[06:27] <A3n> jrib: but all my files and configs stay the same wether i login on a3n or login on root , right?
[06:27] <Randakar> SpaceBass: hd0,0 I think
[06:27] <Randakar> SpaceBass: but hd0 might also be it ;-)
[06:27] <SpaceBass> Randakar, what is hd0 ?
[06:27] <jrib> A3n: no, they don't have the same home directory
[06:28] <SpaceBass> its not a drive I have...
[06:28] <compengi> jrib, in the runLime.sh_limewire i have cd /opt/LimeWire/
[06:28] <compengi> ./runLime.sh
[06:28] <Randakar> SpaceBass: you can also run mbr, which puts a minimal master boot record on /hdX, then install grub on the first partition
[06:28] <David777> Yeah A3n, if you log in as root, your home directory is /root
[06:28] <SpaceBass> hd0 is what it defaults to and thats what has me stuck now
[06:28] <jrib> compengi: try 'bash runLime.sh'.  I would recommend frostwire instead though
[06:28] <cmt^^> Randakar - I'm back in X now, with the same xorg.conf as previously
[06:28] <A3n> jrib:just the home directory? so ndiswrapper and its drivers and all are still there and working , right?
[06:28] <Randakar> SpaceBass: grub uses different naming scheme from linux itself
[06:28] <cmt^^> x wouldn't start without it
[06:28] <David777> Yeah, A3n
[06:28] <manmadha> jrib, hee my kino is not working dude....(Digital Video conversion)and moreover the ffmpeg cmd is not working...no manual entry what to do..?
[06:28] <DeathWolf> nope
[06:28] <SpaceBass> this is getting hard :)
[06:29] <DeathWolf> just rewrote passwd
[06:29] <DeathWolf> it's clean
[06:29] <rhyddin_> anyone here ever work with Open Cubic Player?
[06:29] <DeathWolf> no weird char:/
[06:29] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: that's there, but I just see the 4 uuids, I just need to be able to figure out (roughly) the size of each of them so I can remember which one i set as swap
[06:29] <Randakar> cmt^^: hm, you can try running that dpkg-reconfigure command ( or just copy in the new xorg.conf file) and then running the ati tools without restarting X
[06:29] <jrib> manmadha: is "ffmpeg" package installed?
[06:30] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: ls -ld in that directory will get you the real device names
[06:30] <manmadha> jrib, 1m i will check
[06:30] <A3n> jrib:i think i'll just logon as root :p
[06:30] <DeathWolf> can someone tell me his permissions for /bin /bin/sh and /bin/bash?
[06:30] <A3n> bbl
[06:30] <DeathWolf> and owner/groups
[06:30] <slurp> hi :)
[06:30] <jrib> A3n: that's really not a good idea... You should fix sudo regardless.
[06:30] <SpaceBass> installing for the 4th time....after that I'm going to bash my raid array with a sledge hammer and forget it
[06:31] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: um... nope?  all I get is drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2006-12-05 22:17
[06:31] <rhyddin_> ok, another way of putting it .. program is looking for libadplug-1.5.1 and I have libadplug-2.0 but it doesn't seem to see it .. is there a way to make the program look for the new lib instead of the old one?
[06:31] <slurp> I've got a problem using my Radeon graphics card, it slows extremly (to 1fps or even less) down, after playing about 2min
[06:31] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: ls -ld /dev/disk/by-uuid/*
[06:31] <David777> DeathWolf: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-12-05 11:44 /bin
[06:31] <manmadha> jrib, no dude..
[06:31] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: what you got was the size/permissions of that directory itself
[06:31] <fabiim> dirty easy way to set up a ssh server ( that's what i need to allow a computer on my network to control my computer right?) on my ubuntu machine ?
[06:31] <David777> DeathWolf: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2006-12-05 11:26 /bin/sh -> dash
[06:32] <David777> DeathWolf: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-09-19 18:24 /bin/bash
[06:32] <jrib> manmadha: you need to install it to get a man page for it
[06:32] <jrib> and to have it
[06:32] <David777> fabiim: You have to install the openssh-server package
[06:32] <cmt^^> !ati
[06:32] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:33] <manmadha> okkk
[06:33] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: OK, so now I can see them as ../../sda4 and ../../sda3 ../../sda1 snd ../../sda2
[06:33] <Randakar> cmt^^: any luck?
[06:33] <ThinkingMan> but I still can't see geometry to figure out which one was swap
[06:33] <fabiim> David777: yeah i noticed , i am reading the ssh how to on the wiki , thanks =)
[06:33] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: fdisk /dev/sda
[06:33] <wizo> hey, let`s say i compile and install a app using make and make install
[06:33] <wizo> then what if i wanna remove it, what do i do?
[06:33] <cmt^^> hmm
[06:33] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: then type 'p' to get a partition listing, and 'q' to exit
[06:33] <cmt^^> Randakar - at least I don't get the same error
[06:34] <lumpki> wizo, see if it will do 'make uninstall'
[06:34] <David777> wizo: make uninstall sometimes works if the creator made that target
[06:34] <Randakar> cmt^^: progress, then :-)
[06:34] <jrib> wizo: you hope that there is a 'make uninstall' otherwise you have to rm manually.  You should consider using checkinstall isntead of make install
[06:34] <jrib> !checkinstall | wizo
[06:34] <ubotu> wizo: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page. - DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[06:34] <wizo> ah i see
[06:34] <wizo> eek
[06:34] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: har!!!
[06:34] <ThinkingMan>  /dev/sda2 is my swap
[06:34] <ThinkingMan> OK... so *crosses fingers* here goes nothin
[06:34] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: there you go :-)
[06:35] <cmt^^> wish me luck
[06:35] <wizo> oh noes
[06:35] <ThinkingMan> great...
[06:35] <wizo> make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[06:35] <ThinkingMan> so I did a sudo mkswap /dev/sda2
[06:36] <mwe> isn't creating a file 'blacklist-foo' containing 'blacklist foo' in /etc/modprobe.d/ supposed to stop the module foo from loading?
[06:36] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: you may just try swapon /dev/sda2 first ..
[06:36] <[GuS] > Re
[06:36] <David777> wizo: You can uninstall it the hard way by looking at what the install target in the Makefile does (look for the "install:" line in the Makefile)
[06:36] <ThinkingMan> Randakar: there we go
[06:36] <ThinkingMan> well, no error msg
[06:36] <ThinkingMan> So... how does one test whether swap is working
[06:37] <Randakar> ThinkingMan: and if you look in top ?
[06:37] <wizo> lol..

[06:40] <burepe_> How do I view apache documentation?
[06:40] <jbroome> kudzubane: top doesn't give any clues?
[06:40] <jrib> wizo: you can reinstall it with checkinstall and then remove it too
[06:40] <Randakar> David777: Either you want local user accounts, or you want to use something more complex like an LDAP server setup
[06:40] <David777> Randakar: I just want to share some files on a local network
[06:40] <wizo> oh really?
[06:40] <wizo> thanks jrih
[06:40] <David777> Randakar: It's an embedded system
[06:40] <wizo> imma try that now
[06:40] <lumpki> jrib that's good to know
[06:40] <rhyddin_> Can I force an application to use a newer version of a library if it doesn't find the old version that its looking for?
