[03:13] <TiZ_> Can anyone help me fix my gnome panel? It's all white. Can't see anything on it, just white.
[03:14] <Carbonflux> yitz_, just that one line or all the lines look like that?
[03:14] <ubunguru> http://rafb.net/p/wMIdGn48.html - What does line 12 mean?
[03:14] <yitz_> 2 lines
[03:14] <yitz_> All of it was 2 lines, no drive mentioned
[03:14] <Rijnzael> ubunguru, i think that was written in brainfuck
[03:14] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, I went in and removed "quiet" from the altoptions section as well as commented out the "quiet" below the boot options for grub and sudo grub-update and still nothing
[03:14] <Rijnzael> that's probably code
[03:14] <TiZ_> Anyone? Please?
[03:15] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, although the altoptions appears commented out anyways, maybe different for 8.04?
[03:15] <yitz_> TiZ_: Did you restart? Can you right-click it?
[03:15] <xbj9000> godfather I think you change 'quiet' to 'verbose'
[03:15] <TiZ_> I can right click it.
[03:15] <xbj9000> down a bit where it has the menu lines
[03:15] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, ok let me see here
[03:15] <yitz_> TiZ_: Do you get a popup menu?
[03:15] <xbj9000> hang on I'll look at mine, I know I've done what you're trying to do
[03:15] <Carbonflux> yitz_, that means it is not finding the device, in system->admin there is the system log app, open that up, unplug the device and plug it back in and see if there are any messages, that might help you debug it, also there can be issues with cables and hubs
[03:16] <TiZ_> Yep
[03:16] <yitz_> TiZ_: Maybe you can refresh it by going to properties, adding hide-tabs, hiding and unhiding it

[03:17] <taquitos> anybody familiar with vmware server beta and 8.04?

[03:17] <taquitos> i'm stuck at step 7
[03:17] <xbj9000> godfather, did you try it?
[03:17] <yamean> mneptok is yard punk, the effeminate faggot
[03:17] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, I am going to try "noquiet" as well as "verbose" be right back
[03:18] <Carbonflux> yitz_, normally when I have a bug like that I use the log and lsusb etc, if it was working yesterday, hm, my USB drive has a flaky power cable heh ;) something I have to wiggle it, at this point the only direction I see going is down into "what did you change" hell :)
[03:18] <nixnoob> why does thunderbird not work at all??? I do sudo apt-get install thunderbird and it installs and then i do thunderbird and it says its not installed.....
[03:18] <xbj9000> anybody can help me configure xorg for this old S3 Virge?
[03:19] <yitz_> Carbonflux: Do I need to open a file with the Sys Log Viewer?
[03:19] <jtaylor13> group:how do i uninstall this?  sr/share/doc/xwinwrap/changelog.gz
[03:19] <Carbonflux> yitz_, no, its the app I mean it opens all the default logs and will bold any new stuff
[03:19] <yitz_> Carbonflux: The power to the device works. The USB cable... Oh my. I think I had issues with that before. Lemme check
[03:20] <yitz_> Carbonflux: Note: Ubuntu 7.04
[03:20] <Carbonflux> yitz_, lots of fun and useful messages in the logs btw :)
[03:20] <Carbonflux> I don't think 7.04 makes a difference in this case, I just switched myself, same USB devices etc
[03:22] <yitz_> Nothing showed up in the log. Tried a USB key
[03:22] <yitz_> Can I reboot the USB manager thingy somehow?
[03:22] <Carbonflux> thats beyond my knowledge
[03:22] <bonhoffer> hmm. . . how do i add a user to a passwd file?
[03:22] <yitz_> bonhoffer: adduser command?

[03:24] <yitz_> Carbonflux: Thanks for the help/ Rebooting the live CD
[03:24] <Carbonflux> yitz_, normally it detects new devices when you plug then in within seconds, if its not showing up in lsusb its not finding it, lsusb does look at the bus so that is it is a rescan.
[03:24] <yitz_> Gotta run now
[03:24] <Carbonflux> cu :)
[03:24] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, I get a good deal of info for maybe a 1 second then the screen goes blank and loads more info it seems
[03:24] <detrate> jesus christ
[03:24] <detrate> douche bags
[03:24] <yitz_> The bus then isn't working right
[03:24] <t35t0r> in networkmanager does it save the ssid's ?
[03:24] <`Kermudge> Sad have folks like that everywhere. :(
[03:24] <Carbonflux> that is a rescan*
[03:24] <yitz_> Or the USB driver thing
[03:25] <Carbonflux> well, a reboot might help
[03:25] <Carbonflux> who knows whats going on
[03:25] <xbj9000> not sure godfather
[03:25] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, should it display info all the way up until the actual login screen?
[03:25] <yitz_> LiveCD takes forever to boot and my brother wants a hand in the garabe :S bbl
[03:25] <syntac> hey, i have hardy on my laptop (compaq C700) and the brightness keys don't work.  I remember them working on the livecd but not on the installed system.  any ideas on where to check? (the other fn + key work)
[03:25] <nixnoob> why does thunderbird not work in hardy?
[03:25] <ariqs> fglrxinfo says OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org  insead of ATI like I want despite the fact I have the restricted ati driver package installed and enabled.
[03:26] <ChaosTheory_> If I want to copy a file to a subdir of my current dir, whats the easiest way to do that?
[03:26] <ChaosTheory_> What's the shortcut for "current dir?"
[03:26] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, the repos are a bit weird, mozilla-thunderbird is a different package from just thunderbird, I got a bit confused by it myself
[03:26] <syntac> ChaosTheory_: a period '.'
[03:26] <ChaosTheory_> syntac: Thanks.
[03:26] <syntac> ChaosTheory_: so something like: cp -R /some/dir .
[03:27] <xbj9000> I'm not sure godfather, did you get the splash screen with the small text below it or a full text screen?
[03:27] <alan_m> ok ive got to install some modules, so probably gotta restart, see ya later folks.
[03:27] <astro76> ChaosTheory_: ./ but you really don't need it, cp file ./subdir/ and cp file subdir/ is the same
[03:27] <ChaosTheory_> astro76: Ooh, right.
[03:27] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, I got a full text screen, apparently when I run grub-update it cannot locate a splash screen to begin with, I just never had one, always booted in a black screen
[03:28] <xbj9000> I think a moment of blank out is normal
[03:28] <cygoku> Fucking broadcom.
[03:28] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, ok cool
[03:28] <xbj9000> what is it you're trying to find out at boot?
[03:28] <GodFatheR> thanks
[03:28] <bullgard4> Does '.rdf' in /home/<username>/gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'sesource description file'?
[03:28] <bullgard4> Does '.rdf' in /home/<username>/gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'resource description file'?
[03:28] <sennr> anyone know why when i use an external display (my HDTV) the fullscreen video is blank..
[03:28] <Seeker`> cygoku: please can you watch your language
[03:28] <EvolElm0> ugh..
[03:29] <Seeker`> bullgard4: please dont repeat your question quite so quickly
[03:29] <EvolElm0> my computers refuse to see each other :(
[03:29] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, nothing special I just prefer to watch something when I boot be it info or otherwise, I think its my pc building nature, I need to watch the screen for errors or hangups
[03:29] <cygoku> I guess I could.
[03:29] <EvolElm0> i can ping, but can't get them to share
[03:29] <mneptok> cygoku: you'll last longer.
[03:29] <xbj9000> I understand
[03:29] <Carbonflux> has anyone else seen problems with the thermal and power monitors in the new nVidia driver freezing a machine when compiz-fusion is running?
[03:29] <GodFatheR> xbj9000, thanks for the help Ill investigate further goodnight
[03:29] <ChaosTheory_> astro76: What if I want to copy all of one subdir into another subdir?
[03:29] <cygoku> Last longer than ubuntu on my computer ?
[03:29] <cygoku> LOL
[03:29] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, still doesn't work, it says the package isnt installed even tho it is
[03:29] <bullgard4> Seeker`: Please do not make false statements here in this channel.
[03:30] <astro76> ChaosTheory_: cp -a subdir1 subdir2/
[03:30] <cygoku> Seriously, broadcom is bad.
[03:30] <Seeker`> bullgard4: excuse me?
[03:30] <ChaosTheory_> astro76: Awesome, thanks.
[03:30] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, how are you trying to run it?
[03:30] <Seeker`> cygoku: that may be the case, but there are politer ways of saying it :)
[03:30] <ariqs> fglrxinfo says OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org  insead of ATI like I want despite the fact I have the restricted ati driver package installed and enabled. my xorg.conf.# goes to 27 ;p
[03:30] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, funny thing is all the debs that apt is install say "nobinonly"
[03:31] <cygoku> Seeker' : Not after 4 hours to get it working.
[03:31] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, i tried "thunderbird" and "mozilla-thunderbird" in console
[03:31] <bazhang_> cygoku, no cursing; period.
[03:31] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, did you check to see if it added a menu entry?
[03:31] <gnutronic> ChaosTheory_: mv dir  will move the entire dir to another as a subdir.
[03:31] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, it did and when i click it it says that it does not exist
[03:31] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, were there any log messages when it installed that might be interesting?
[03:31] <NightShade01> i have a question about apache if anyone can help?
[03:31] <`Kermudge> Hey how do bazhang?
[03:31] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, what tool did you use to install it?
[03:31] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, no errors
[03:32] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, apt-get install
[03:32] <nixnoob> Carbonflux, sudo ofcourse
[03:32] <Tesseracter> i loaded up a aircrack wireless driver, but i want to go back to the ubuntu kernel driver. anyone able to help?
[03:32] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, maybe try using synaptic would be my only offering at this point, when I did use it that is how I installed it
[03:32] <Carbonflux> nixnoob, I have gotten it to work in 8.04
[03:32] <NightShade01> anyone know why apache would try to start on <IP_ADDRESS>?
[03:33] <syntac> anyone know of a program similar to xev only for the keyboard that i could test my fn + brightness keys with?
[03:35] <DJ_HaMsTa> i got samba set up and working, but i have a problem that bothers me, im sharing /home/username and it shows a share of username and one of homes both leading to the same dir, if i delete one they both go away is this normal ?
[03:35] <Cpudan80> What's the package for the JRE plugin for ffx ?
[03:35] <beanz65> anyone ever get a 4 port pci serial card working under 8.04?  i am having a nighmarish time getting a siig cyberserial 4s working.  as far as i can tell i have done everything right.  the os sees it and all the ports, various status doobers, setserial, etc, all look normal, but i get no input from the devices when i hook things that i know work up to them (using minicom as the app).  ideas?
[03:36] <Tomasso> i connect my pen drive but it doesnt appear on my computer, how do i mount it by command line?
[03:36] <doofy`> im trying to change my ssh port for security purposes. I changed sshd_config, but Im still not able to ssh in to the box. Do I need to unblock the port on the firewall or something?
[03:36] <Seeker`> doofy`: have you restarted the ssh server?
[03:37] <astro76> doofy`: what ssh command are you using to connect?
[03:37] <DeadNed> is there an open source alternative to Flash? I want to create animations
[03:37] <doofy`> Seeker`, yes
[03:37] <doofy`> astro ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 1025
[03:37] <astro76> doofy`: not sure if it matters, but try ssh -p 1025<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:38] <mneptok> doofy`: you need to restart sshd and forward a port
[03:38] <axisys> how do I play this
[03:38] <axisys> http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/iphoneroadmap/
[03:38] <doofy`> mneptok, how do i forward the port?
[03:38] <mneptok> doofy`: dunno. it's your router.
[03:38] <doofy`> im just doing it on my local network
[03:38] <sidd> hi, i'm having trouble getting usb flash drives to work. I've tried a couple of devices. They get power and show up in "lsusb", but not in "/dev/disk/by-id/", any ideas?
[03:38] <DJ_HaMsTa> u need to access ur router
[03:38] <doofy`> i dont want external access to it. I will forward it on the router when i do
[03:38] <DJ_HaMsTa> and enable port forwarding there
[03:38] <mneptok> doofy`: then you need to open 1025 in the machine's firewall
[03:39] <doofy`> iptables?
[03:39] <bullgard4> Does '.rdf' in /home/<username>/gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'resource description file'?
[03:39] <Seeker`> doofy`: if you do "netstat -tln" on the machine, does the port you are trying to use show up?
[03:39] <shaft0r> I'm getting tired of not getting any help with centos and I'm considering switching to ubuntu for my server configuration(and learning as I'm pretty new to linux).. but I'm concerned with prepriatary packages or other prepriatary things with ubuntu... is that really something I shoudl worry about? (and I do actually research my own problems before I ask questions :-) )
[03:39] <Seeker`> bullgard4: it looks like it
[03:39] <Thirtysixway> shaft0r, there are tons of different open source options for servers
[03:39] <doofy`> Seeker`, no
[03:40] <bazhang_> axisys, it works in hd
[03:40] <Seeker`> doofy`: this is the machine that the server is running on?
[03:40] <doofy`> Seeker`, yes
[03:40] <mneptok> shaft0r: i think you mean "proprietary." and what packages are you referring to?
[03:40] <doofy`> Seeker`, nevermind yes it is there
[03:40] <whitepaint101> /msg ubottu etiquette
[03:40] <axisys> bazhang_: hd?
[03:40] <Seeker`> doofy`: on my computer, it shows up as tcp6  0  0 :::<port>
[03:41] <bazhang_> axisys, there are two options, the second is hd
[03:41] <doofy`> tcp6       0      0 :::1025                 :::*                    LISTEN
[03:41] <Seeker`> doofy`: can you ssh in to porn 1025 from the local machine?
[03:41] <dmsuperman> So, I just want to try things out.  Not to say Ubuntu is bad, but I'm wondering if there are any decent alternatives for somebody who isn't quite a linux power user.
[03:41] <Seeker`> *port
[03:41] <doofy`> Seeker`, nope Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[03:41] <user01> it keeps saying visual effects cant be enabled . . . is there a package i must install?  8.04
[03:41] <Seeker`> doofy`: what command are you typing?
[03:42] <dmsuperman> Or even if many of these bugs are Ubuntu specific (for example, no sound in VLC, pulse audio having problems, the compiz titlebar bug, etc.)
[03:42] <dmsuperman> Anybody have any ideas or suggestions for me?
[03:42] <EvolElm0> user01:  you probably need to install your 3d drivers?
[03:42] <doofy`> ssh <IP_ADDRESS> -p 1025
[03:42] <bazhang_> dmsuperman, perhaps in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:42] <dmsuperman> bazhang_, can do
[03:42] <doofy`> Seeker`, same thing if I use localhost
[03:42] <Darlok_Williams> If my desktop freezes (icons disappear, right-click does nothing, etc), how do I restart it without restarting X?
[03:42] <mneptok> doofy`: you're sure that's the machine's current IP?
[03:43] <user01> EvolElm0, my card is a  hercules 64 MB GTS prophet pro
[03:43] <shaft0r> mneptok, yeah I cant spell :-) and I have just heard that there are some.. I dont know of any first hand.
[03:43] <doofy`> mneptok, yep
[03:43] <t35t0r> can i install kde in ubuntu?
[03:43] <user01> EvolElm0, thats not the same as the nvidia legacy drivers?
[03:43] <Seeker`> doofy`: Are you sure that there is nothing else running on port 1025?
[03:43] <mneptok> doofy`: try "ssh localhost -p 1025" on the actual server
[03:43] <t35t0r> i.e. can i make ubuntu into kubuntu easily without installing kubuntu?
[03:43] <Seeker`> doofy`: Try changing it to a much higher number (like 15245)
[03:43] <doofy`> Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[03:43] <Seeker`> mneptok: I believe that he has already tried it
[03:44] <jaytee_> anyone having trouble adding a windows printer using system/administration/printing?
[03:44] <EvolElm0> user01:  not sure mate.. i had a similar problem, then after i enabled the driver it was all good.. im no pro @ linux.. im a total noob.. :) but it sounds familiar

[03:47] <beejeebus> i'm connected ok, using the connection to post here, but network manager thinks i'm offline
[03:47] <EvolElm0> user01:  indeed it is :) although.. i don't like the winters here.. not enough snow :)
[03:47] <t35t0r> beejeebus, it's a modem?
[03:47] <Seeker`> EvolElm0: Try swapping the cables around, see if it makes a difference
[03:47] <beejeebus> yes
[03:47] <t35t0r> beejeebus, does it show up as a nic?
[03:47] <EvolElm0> Seeker`: in windows mode works fine :(
[03:47] <t35t0r> beejeebus, ppp0 or something?
[03:47] <jaytee_> astro76: ah ha!!! you da man! smbclient was missing...
[03:47] <Seeker`> doofy`: cool. I suspect that there is something already running on that port
[03:47] <muzik> oi ui got a prob
[03:47] <trippss> hello. i've got a router here I don't know the configuration of. I've set up a for loop to do seq 0 254 then doing ifconfig eth0 192.168.$a.10; sleep 5s; ping -c 5 192.168.$a.1, etc. for it to loop through and find out the IP/subnet of the router. Is there a quicker way? the router is not serving dhcp
[03:47] <user01> EvolElm0, we can do an apartment exchange in winter if you'd like . . . 4 meters here last winter :P

[03:53] <t35t0r> what's the package for firefox 3 rc1?
[03:53] <t35t0r> all i see is b5
[03:53] <astro76> t35t0r: it's not released yet

[03:54] <t35t0r> bleh
[03:54] <t35t0r> !!!
[03:55] <astro76> t35t0r: that was the original reason although admitedly I'm not sure why it's still not out ;)
[03:55] <genii> The bot lies!
[03:55] <JoaoJoao> I'm having trouble with the flashplugin-nonfree <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1 in Hardy, keyboard input doesn't work inside the Flash component
[03:55] <t35t0r> it does lie
[03:55] <t35t0r> oh well can always install it manually
[03:55] <genii> RC1 is available in hardy-proposed repo
[03:55] <Seeker`> t35t0r: I beleive there is a semi-official ppa

[03:56] <Av8rjoker> Hello
[03:56] <FrozenInferno> How would I go about reformatting a fat32 partition mounted at /windows into ntfs?
[03:56] <Av8rjoker> Anyone able to help me out with a quick question?
[03:56] <flyinprogramer> why does Grub take so long to load with 8.04 on my computer?
[03:57] <genii> t35t0r: Just add hard-proposed  to your sources.list   and it will up it to RC1
[03:57] <Seeker`> !ask | Av8rjoker
[03:57] <JoaoJoao> I was hoping someone has the same problem I'm having
[03:57] <Av8rjoker> sounds good =)
[03:57] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, unmount it, fdisk the drive and set the partition to type 7 == hpfs/ntfs and then format it in windows
[03:57] <t35t0r> i got bitten once by partitioning in using windows disk management
[03:57] <Av8rjoker> Is there a way to change your original login/username?
[03:58] <t35t0r> usermod
[03:58] <Trevalen> I am running a Dell XPS M1710 with the sigmatel audio chipset.  I cannot get the microphone input working.  Any suggestions?
[03:58] <pros9000> trevalen have you tried alsamixer?
[03:58] <nickrud> Av8rjoker yes you can, by editing some files and renaming directories.
[03:59] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: you are gonna have to run me through how to to that, because the only things I understood were unmount and format in windows. :)
[03:59] <pros9000> trevalen also, have you tried to run audacity?
[03:59] <Trevalen> Not yet, was hoping to use the pulse audio
[03:59] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, unmount the partition mounted in /windows
[03:59] <DJ_HaMsTa> Where is the apache2 home directory located ?
[03:59] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, make sure there's nothing under there that you need
[03:59] <pros9000> trevalen try audacity. It might clue you in to what is wrong
[03:59] <nickrud> DJ_HaMsTa /etc/apache2 for config, /var/www for data
[03:59] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: I already backed it up, yeah.
[03:59] <Trevalen> Thanks pros
[03:59] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, fdisk /dev/whateverYourDriveIs
[04:00] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, (as root)
[04:00] <Av8rjoker> I tried searching and couldn't find a definite way to change it. nickrud, do you know of a tutorial or anything of the sort that shows you how to change the username?
[04:00] <t35t0r> or sudo fdisk /dev/whateverYourDriveIs
[04:00] <Seeker`> FrozenInferno: Be careful, fdisk can quite easily break your drives if you dont know what you are doing
[04:00] <nickrud> Av8rjoker not offhand. I'll take a quick look
[04:00] <Seeker`> FrozenInferno: Take backups of important data first
[04:00] <nehogo> hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I'm having with Ubuntu
[04:00] <Seeker`> !ask | nehogo
[04:00] <user01> I have a Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro, (64 MB) AGP Video Card Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro, (64 MB) AGP Video Card, but cant get effects to work . . . is there something in x.org to config?
[04:01] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, df -h will give you which partition was mounted at /windows
[04:01] <FrozenInferno> Seeker: I've backed up everything important. t35t0r: terminal says that it doesn't know how to handle files with mode 40755
[04:01] <Av8rjoker> wow thank you. I've seen different answers ranging from no you can't change it to yes you can but not everything (home directory, etc)
[04:01] <t35t0r> what
[04:01] <nehogo> haha, kay so I'm using Hardy Heron and when it loads it only gets to 20.2% and I dont mind reinstalling if I need to but I was wondering if I could save my files?
[04:01] <t35t0r> why are there files with 4755 where what why how?
[04:01] <t35t0r> what are you trying to do
[04:02] <Seeker`> nehogo: what you mean by "loads", do you mean when it boots?
[04:02] <nehogo> yes :S Sorry, tad tired atm
[04:02] <t35t0r> i want to get rid of frame buffer and the splash screen on startup
[04:02] <taquitos> does anybody have vmware server 2 beta running in ubuntu 8.04 LTS?
[04:02] <Seeker`> nehogo: how do you know it stops at 20.2%?
[04:03] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: Let me explain: I partitioned my 250 gig disk into four, 2gb for swap, 50gb for a fat32, 110gb for Vista, and the rest for Ubuntu. I mount my 50gb fat32 at /windows. I want to reformat it as ntfs. I've already backed it up and unmounted it, I just need the commands to reformat it
[04:03] <nehogo> well once it gets to 20.2% it doesn't load any higher... I booted up and watched a tv show and when I got back it was stuck at 20.2%
[04:03] <Seeker`> nehogo: I dont remember seeing a % counter on boot
[04:03] <pros9000> Is there a way to get irssi to beep at me when I receive a message?
[04:03] <Seeker`> nehogo: Does it have messages about disk checking?
[04:03] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[04:04] <Darlok_Williams> If my desktop freezes (icons disappear, right-click does nothing, etc), how do I restart it without restarting X?
[04:04] <bazhang_> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword Av8rjoker
[04:04] <nehogo> it doesn't do it often, I think something went weird when I installed hardy heron, it had a message that I had booted 23 times without mounting so it was a force mount
[04:04] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: It listed my partitions
[04:04] <StevenX> is there any way to make the computer shutdown when it becomes unresponsive? Even when ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work and I can't get to a terminal via ctral+alt+f1
[04:04] <Av8rjoker> awesome, I'm going to take a look at that
[04:04] <astro76> Darlok_Williams: try killall nautilus
[04:05] <Seeker`> nehogo: that is the diskchecker, it runs after a certain number of boots to check that your disks are ok
[04:05] <yitz_> Carbonflux: Rebooting fixed my usb problem
[04:05] <Seeker`> nehogo: If your disks are big, it can take a while
[04:05] <astro76> StevenX: try ctrl+alt+del
[04:05] <Seeker`> StevenX: Press and hold the power button?
[04:05] <StevenX> astro76, when that doesn't work either.
[04:05] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, put it on rafb.net/paste
[04:05] <user01> is there another channel for ubuntu compiz questions?
[04:05] <astro76> StevenX: failing that, look up magic sysrq keys
[04:05] <StevenX> Seeker`, yea, that's the one I use. It makes me sad.
[04:05] <astro76> StevenX: failing that, power button ;)
[04:05] <Darlok_Williams> astro76: That did it.  Thank you.
[04:05] <StevenX> astro76, thanks.
[04:05] <hari> its official. I couldn't get hardy heron to work on my computer
[04:06] <nehogo> all right, actually that makes sense because I think windows shut down improperly, and ubuntu sometimes gets mad when windows does that... I'll try booting again in unbuntu thanks
[04:06] <nickrud> Av8rjoker I haven't found anything that gives all the steps for a complete name change in ubuntu. I'll write up a quicky for you
[04:06] <Av8rjoker> bazhang, that only shows how to change the password
[04:06] <bullgard4> Does '.rdf' in /home/<username>/gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'resource description file'?
[04:07] <Seeker`> bullgard4: I have already answered you - From what I can see, it looks like it does
[04:07] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: http://rafb.net/p/9CBU5p79.html
[04:07] <astro76> bullgard4: Resource Description Framework ... http://www.mozilla.org/rdf/doc/
[04:07] <Av8rjoker> Thanks nickrud, I really appreciate that. I'm going to try to make a server and would really like a better username. My current one is too simple
[04:07] <pr0nGuy> What am I doing wrong?  My computer froze and the num lock and scroll lock lights on the clavier are blinking.
[04:08] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, that's some nasty partitioning
[04:08] <t35t0r> oh well
[04:08] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[04:09] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, then hit 't' to change the label , enter partition 5, label type 7
[04:09] <Seeker`> Av8rjoker: what do you mean by "too simple"?
[04:09] <DeadNed> is there an open source alternative to Flash? I want to create animations
[04:09] <t35t0r> DeadNed, svg
[04:09] <StevenX> astro76, are the magic sysreq key on by default on ubuntu?
[04:09] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: Done. Now what?
[04:09] <astro76> t35t0r, FrozenInferno you sure you don't mean sudo fdisk /dev/sda5 ?
[04:09] <Ashfire908> Has anyone in here used apt-cacher?
[04:09] <astro76> StevenX: I believe they still are
[04:09] <t35t0r> DeadNed, hit 'w' to write then 'q' to quit
[04:09] <astro76> StevenX: though haven't tried since feisty
[04:09] <vluther> if i want to see what configuration options were used for a package i just installed.. how would i go about finding that?
[04:10] <StevenX> astro76, awesome. this is JUST what I was looking for.
[04:10] <Dante124> hi all, a couple of times I have had openoffice crash on me when I paste test from a gmail message into a word pro document...also the Firstclass client for Linux causes the system to logout (kid of like ctrl-alt-backspace) when I click on a message to read it.  Any ideas what might be causing this or how to log the errors?
[04:10] <Ashfire908> StevenX, yes, they are.
[04:10] <Av8rjoker> well I've experimented a while back with a linux server and as soon as I opened port 80, I started getting hit by many login attempts. The usernames they were trying were all very simple names, so I'd like to have a better one. :D
[04:10] <user01> is this true?: The nvidia-glx-legacy drivers (71.xx series) do not support a few of the OpenGL extensions (composite mainly I think) that desktop effects need.
[04:10] <t35t0r> DO NOT FDISK /dev/sda5
[04:10] <Carbonflux> yitz_, thats good news, so clearly finding out how to restart the usb stuff would be useful, I was fairly sure lsusb did it, my mistake, I am glad it worked :)
[04:10] <StevenX> ty Ashfire908
[04:10] <DeadNed> t35t0r, That doesn't really help, but thanks anyway
[04:11] <Seeker`> Av8rjoker: If ytou have a secure password / key it shouldn't matter
[04:11] <lamalex> Does anyone know where the file for the gnome loading animation is kept?
[04:11] <nickrud> Av8rjoker http://paste.ubuntu.com/16522/ . Look that over, and ask any questions <before> you do it :)
[04:11] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: I did what you said. Now what?
[04:11] <yitz_> Carbonflux: I coulda tried kicking it, but I do try not to shake my extern HDD around too much. Its got no shock protection
[04:11] <harushimo> sorry I was another screen name
[04:11] <t35t0r> FrozenInferno, reboot to windows and format that partition as ntfs , my computer -> manage -> disk management
[04:11] <Carbonflux> heh
[04:11] <pukeko> do any of the live CDs have partimage ?
[04:11] <Seeker`> nickrud: Will that work properly (i.e. sort out sudo etc.)
[04:12] <harushimo> is there a reason why I can't install Hardy Heron
[04:12] <Av8rjoker> Seeker, I'd just like to stay on the safer side. My password isn't anything super crazy. It's good, but I'm still a bit nervous because I'm very new yet.
[04:12] <astro76> pukeko: get the SystemRescueCD
[04:12] <FrozenInferno> t35t0r: K, will report back.
[04:12] <harushimo> did anyone have any problems
[04:12] <astro76> !sysresccd | pukeko
[04:12] <Av8rjoker> Thank you nickrud, I'm going to check that out now.
[04:12] <nickrud> Seeker` oh, good point. I missed sudo
[04:12] <Dante124> harushimo explain the problem more specifically
[04:12] <nickrud> Seeker` a very good reason to do everything in mainline, not in pms
[04:12] <nickrud> Av8rjoker a change follows
[04:12] <harushimo> I keep on getting a buffer i/o error on fd0, logical block 0
[04:12] <Seeker`> nickrud: I'm not convinced that him changing his username is a good idea
[04:13] <Dante124> fdo is floppy?
[04:13] <harushimo> when I did the alternate cd, it wouldn't detect any of my cd drives
[04:13] <pukeko> astro76: the sysrescue CD has 0.6.7 which wont "work" with my dapper ( 0.6.4 ) ...
[04:13] <TiZ_> Hello. I've installed Samba, and I'm trying to copy some files into a folder on a Windows computer.
[04:13] <Av8rjoker> Ok nickrud, what is that change?
[04:13] <Seeker`> nickrud: I'm sure there are lots of things like that that have been missed
[04:13] <harushimo> yeah, I don't have a floppy
[04:13] <TiZ_> I've always been able to do it from windows, but I can't do it from Ubuntu.
[04:13] <Sorcererbob> harushimo, I find sometimes that happens when you have a dodgey CD ROm drive. I meant the FD0 error
[04:13] <Av8rjoker> or maybe I shouldn't change it at all?
[04:13] <Seeker`> Av8rjoker: I think that just making sure you have a secure password will be sufficient
[04:13] <symptom> little help:  Im running hardy with nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) and my login screen is cutoff on the edges.  Its not a show stopper, but this happened before, with feisty i think but i cant be sure.  After I login my gnome desktop is fine and not cut off.  Any ideas?
[04:13] <yao_ziyuan> how do i insert line breaks to text files?
[04:13] <Xecuter> TiZ_, install ntfs-3g
[04:13] <astro76> pukeko: hmm, well old versions of systemrescuecd are available for download
[04:13] <neoskylla> i want to know if the live cd ubuntu may be unsafe for use, since dont have users registered, nor password....? does anyone know?
[04:13] <harushimo> if the cd rom isn't working properly
[04:13] <yao_ziyuan> with a fixed line width
[04:14] <Xecuter> !ntfs-3g
[04:14] <Stedfel> Um, hi.
[04:14] <harushimo> its a combo drive, it works fine. I just burnt two cds
[04:14] <Stedfel> I was having some trouble with my Ubuntu, and I was told I might be able to get some help here.
[04:14] <harushimo> !abode
[04:14] <TiZ_> Xecuter: are you sure that makes a difference?
[04:14] <TiZ_> It's a shared folder on the network
[04:14] <Dante124> neoskylla unsafe in what way?
[04:14] <nickrud> Seeker` yes, I missed all the group changes. A better (I guess) would be creating a new user, and transferring any files
[04:14] <pukeko> astro76: aahhh ! cheers bro
[04:14] <Xecuter> !ntfs-3g | TiZ_
[04:14] <Av8rjoker> are there any other security precautions I should keep in mind, or is having a good password good enough?
[04:14] <nickrud> Av8rjoker that thing I gave you needs a change
[04:14] <harushimo> !acrobat
[04:14] <Seeker`> Av8rjoker: only open ports you really need
[04:14] <harushimo> !acroread
[04:15] <neoskylla> i dont know... rlogin....i guess.....
[04:15] <TiZ_> Xecuter: It's not a partition on my computer. It's a shared folder on a different computer.
[04:15] <harushimo> I don't know what to do
[04:15] <Xecuter> TiZ_, you still need it
[04:15] <Av8rjoker> Yeah, I'd really just like to ssh into my linux computer
[04:15] <Seeker`> Stedfel: We cant help you if you dont tell us the problem
[04:15] <TiZ_> Alright...
[04:15] <harushimo> gutsy gibbon works great. I had no problem
[04:15] <nickrud> Av8rjoker and some more thought on my part. When I do wiki pages, I give the stuff much greater thought than the one off I just gave you. I apologize profusely
[04:15] <TiZ_> Let me see if I already have it or not
[04:15] <harushimo> what do I do
[04:15] <Stedfel> Basically, Ubuntu won't accept my password/username. I put them in, it goes to the peach screen as if its logging in, then turns black, and then goes back to the sign in screen.
[04:15] <Stedfel> There are no indicators, such as the red font type, that I put in the wrong combination.
[04:15] <Av8rjoker> Oh don't worry about it nickrud. I appreciate you even taking the time to help me.
[04:15] <Dante124> neoskylla I guess it is unsafe if someone boots from it and screws up your hd or partitions.....but then any linux livecd would be unsafe in that way
[04:16] <TiZ_> I already have ntfs-3g. The partition for my windows install is NTFS, and I can get to it.
[04:16] <Seeker`> Stedfel: I dont think that is a bad username / password then, I think it may have something to do with gnome or X
[04:16] <Stedfel> And how do I go about fixing that, if I might ask?
[04:16] <Xecuter> TiZ_, but can you write to it?
[04:16] <Av8rjoker> I'm going to go play around with this now. I appreciate both of your suggestions. Thank you nickrud and Seeker.
[04:17] <Seeker`> Stedfel: have you tried enabling any of the non-feree drivers recently?
[04:17] <Stedfel> Um, I'm sorry, I don't catch that?
 alright linux junkies i need serious help
 my computer keeps crashing and booting my only hdd as re
[04:17] <kurumin> oi
[04:17] <Seeker`> Stedfel: Have you ever been able to log in?
[04:17] <Stedfel> No.
[04:17] <Stedfel> I just acquired Ubuntu today.
[04:17] <TiZ_> Probably not. I don't need to write to that partition; only my FAT32 one.
[04:17] <Seeker`> Stedfel: what graphics card do you have?
[04:17] <TiZ_> I have checked in synaptic.
[04:17] <TiZ_> I have ntfs-3g.
[04:17] <harushimo> how can I install Hardy Heron now? when the upgrade and cd doesn't work
[04:18] <Stedfel> I have no idea right off hand.
[04:18] <Stedfel> It's an ATI model, I believe.
[04:18] <Xecuter> TiZ_, installed? maybe you need to configure it
[04:18] <Sorcererbob> harushimo: did you disable your floppy disk in the BIOS?
[04:18] <Seeker`> Stedfel: Its 4:20am here, so I dont really have the time to go through stuff-  one sec
[04:18] <harushimo> yeah I did
[04:18] <Gohalien> there is something like "teleport pro" (to download a whole webpage and linked pages) in ubuntu ?
[04:18] <harushimo> I still get the error
[04:18] <astro76> Gohalien: wget
[04:18] <harushimo> with both cds(the one I burnt and the one from canonical)
[04:19] <Sorcererbob> i dunno then :(
[04:19] <TiZ_> Perhaps. I'll look into that. Synaptic had a config thing for ntfs partitions.
[04:19] <Gohalien> wget downloads a whole webpage and follow the links ?
[04:19] <Stedfel> Would it work, perhaps, to re-install it and maybe leave them blank, or something like that?
[04:19] <bazhang_> Stedfel, open a terminal and type lspci, then paste output to paste.ubuntu.com (not here)
[04:19] <Seeker`> Stedfel: like I said, I dont think it is a problem with your username and password
[04:19] <astro76> Gohalien: yes that is what you asked :p
[04:20] <Seeker`> bazhang_: He can't log in- he gets dumped back at gdm
[04:20] <Mater_TuX> buenas noches
[04:20] <bazhang_> !es | Mater_TuX
[04:20] <Seeker`> bazhang_: I suspect that it is X not starting properly
[04:20] <harushimo> what do you think the problem
[04:20] <Gohalien> heh thanks asheron
[04:20] <harushimo> is
[04:20] <bazhang_> Stedfel, start up with livecd then
[04:20] <Gohalien> Mater_TuX, buenas noches, spanish only here, join #ubuntu-es or #ubuntu-ar =)
[04:20] <Sorcererbob> I fixed the same problem (although with 7.04) by replacing my cd ROM drive
[04:20] <Mater_TuX> disculpen alguno de ustedes sabe de algun correo e-mail que en el nombre de usuario permita poner  - (guion) y que el dominio no ste tan feo gracias
[04:20] <adante_> anybody here use htop? is it broken?
[04:21] <Sorcererbob> I previously had a dodgey old DVD ROm
[04:21] <t35t0r> adante, i use htop
[04:21] <Mater_TuX> o.k sorry
[04:21] <adante_> somtimes i find it displays 100% cpu usage when there isn't anyway
[04:21] <Stedfel> Okay, doing that.
[04:21] <t35t0r> adante, why do you think it's broken?
 excuse for my lack of knowlege... sure i know a local login may screw my system... but i want to know if is possible to someone log in remotely from other pc into a livecd instance of ubuntu..somehow?
[04:21] <TiZ_> I still can't write to the shared Windows folder.
[04:21] <bazhang_> Gohalien, firefox plugins has that
[04:22] <harushimo> if the combo drive is dodgey, my cds should get errors on them but they don't
[04:22] <harushimo> they work fine
[04:22] <Gohalien> bazhang_, that I heard, any clue about the plugin name ?
[04:22] <harushimo> I burnt 3 cds today
[04:22] <Stedfel> Okay, I'm at the Install Log in and all that mess part.
[04:22] <bazhang_> Gohalien, cant remember off hand-->maybe down them all
[04:22] <Sorcererbob> harushimo, I had the same symptoms. For all intents and purposes the drive worked, except for installing Ubuntu (that doesn't mean I'm right by any means though). Out of curiosity, what is your drive?
[04:23] <Gohalien> bazhang_, I was checking download them all, I will try to find the option
[04:24] <harushimo> its a benq 4x4x12 dvd+r/cdrw drive
[04:24] <harushimo> the drive is already 5 years
[04:24] <TiZ_> I have Samba installed, and I'm trying to copy files into a shared folder on a Windows computer. I can't create a folder or paste anything.
[04:24] <Mao2343> I have a problem that is probably really easy to solve: when I boot up my computer, instead of selecting the correct kernel, it stops outright and gives me a choice of three kernels.  How can I make it so that it automatically goes to the default kernel without my doing anything and without any delays?
[04:24] <TiZ_> I would assume that I don't have write access. I could do this easily from Windows, but not from Ubuntu.
[04:24] <Sorcererbob> yeah, mine was  DVD+r as well. It didn't do -R at all.
[04:24] <Stedfel> I've got the LiveCD in.
[04:25] <Mao2343> ?
[04:25] <bazhang_> Stedfel, open a terminal and type lspci and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com
[04:25] <nickrud> Mao2343 you can use system->admin->synaptic to remove the extra kernels
[04:25] <Mao2343> Thank you ^-^
[04:25] <harushimo> yeah it doesnt do -r at all

[04:26] <TiZ_> I need help writing to a shared network folder on a Windows computer.
[04:26] <vluther> i'm here: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/s/snort/snort_2.7.0-17/changelog
[04:26] <harushimo> its a single layer drive not double layer which -/+ r drive
[04:26] <vluther> i can see that this changelog mentions snort_inline package
[04:26]  * nickrud hates spammers
[04:26] <vluther> but apt-cache search doesn't show me snort_inline
[04:26] <pukeko> i want to ugrade dapper's partimaged to version 0.6.7 frm 0.6.4 what do i need to do to achieve this ?
[04:26] <Stedfel> How do I open a terminal?
[04:27] <Sorcererbob> harushimo, sorry. I really have no idea. I sit here to ask my own questions as they come to me :P
[04:27] <tritium> nickrud: one less ;)
[04:27] <TiZ_> Hello? Anyone?
[04:27] <harushimo> that's okay
[04:27] <bazhang_> Stedfel, alt f2 gnome-terminal
[04:27] <Mao2343> In fact, how can I make my computer auto-select the kernel at boot WITHOUT just deleting the other kernels?
[04:27] <harushimo> I'm just suprised that's all
[04:27] <Mao2343> ?
[04:27] <nickrud> tritium hahahah
[04:27] <harushimo> I have no problem with gutsy gibbon but I have so many problems with Hardy Heron
[04:27] <shakir> hi guys...i'm new to ubuntu...eversince i installed ubuntu i'm having hard time swtiching to windows....my pc hangs everytime i choose windows
[04:27] <shakir> please help
[04:28] <Mao2343> Any ideas people?
[04:28] <joshual> hey folks, are there any good backup utilites in the ubuntu repos?
[04:28] <nickrud> Mao2343 it will autoselect the first one. You can reduce the delay by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, change  the    timeout   line near the top
[04:28] <TiZ_> It would seem everyone who knows what we need to know... Is currently away.
[04:28] <bazhang_> !backup | joshual
[04:28] <neoskylla> ubottu where i can find livecd of ubuntu?
[04:29] <TiZ_> !livecd
[04:29] <TiZ_> Well, it was worth a shot. :P
[04:29] <bazhang_> !torrents | neoskylla
[04:29] <joshual> thx bazhang_
[04:29] <yupperz> in the future, u won't be installing OS, you'll be running KVM
[04:29] <yupperz> it includes the OS!
[04:29] <bazhang_> !samba | TiZ_
[04:30] <TiZ_> Well, I'll go check those links out and hope they help my write access problem.
[04:30] <TiZ_> Thank you.
[04:30] <bazhang_> shakir, which installed first
[04:30] <bazhang_> !ntfs | TiZ_
[04:31] <nickrud> Stedfel you get the terminal opened and found out what your video card is yet?
[04:31] <TiZ_> I was already suggested to ntfs-3g. It didn't help.
[04:31] <bazhang_> !grub | shakir
[04:31] <TiZ_> Well, I already have it, that is.
[04:32] <Sorcererbob> hey TiZ_,  just to sum it up. You have a windows share on some computer. other windows computers can write to it, but ubuntu can't?
[04:32] <Mao2343> nickrud: my timeout is already set to 0
[04:32] <igna> Hello all
[04:32] <Mao2343> But my boot still stops at that screen and waits for me to select the kernel.
[04:32] <bullgard4> Does '.rdf' in /home/<username>/gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'resource description file'?
[04:32] <balgarath> trying to get dialup working on a compaq presario c500(laptop)...gnome-ppp tells me "No modem was found on your system."  what do I need to do to get it to detect the modem?
[04:32] <TiZ_> Exactly, Sorcerbob.
[04:33] <astro76> bullgard4: missed my earlier response?
[04:33] <TiZ_> Heck, the very laptop I'm on right now. If I use Windows, I can write to the other computer's folder. But not on Ubuntu.
[04:33] <astro76> bullgard4: Resource Description Framework ... http://www.mozilla.org/rdf/doc/
[04:33] <pukeko> how can i upgrade to the absolute latest partimaged on my dapper box ?
[04:33] <bazhang_> http://www.rdfabout.com/intro/ bullgard4
[04:33] <Sorcererbob> TiZ_, you haven't authenticated in some way on the windows boxes, and its remembering it? (and therefore haven't authenticated on Ubuntu)
[04:33] <bazhang_> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+rdf&btnG=Google+Search bullgard4
[04:34] <ToneWhy> hi whats a ftp server i can download?
[04:34] <TiZ_> Not sure, Sorcerorbob.
[04:34] <pen> what does i2c module do in xorg.conf?
[04:34] <TiZ_> I may have.
[04:34] <Trainwreck> Hi, I'm using RutilT for my wireless usb card, it can see my network but says it uses a WEP key when it really uses WPA2, and it won't let me choose anything other than none or WEP
[04:34] <pukeko> ToneWhy:vsftpd
[04:35] <tmapj> can anyone tell me what key to press to start dark arena?
[04:35] <ToneWhy> pukeko: thanks
[04:35] <Sorcererbob> I reckon its probably a permissions thing. NTFS-3G shouldn't have an effect, because you're not directly accessing the file system.
[04:35] <tmapj> whoops i meant openarena
[04:35] <tmapj> can anyone tell me what key to press to start OpenArena?
[04:35] <pazia1> rizky
[04:36] <Sorcererbob> try unsecuring the windows share. give full access to "everyone" (make sure to set it in the permissions a well as the share permissions), disable the crappy "authenticate using smartcard" thing... all that... firewall as well?
[04:36] <Xecuter> tmapj, how about in the menu??
[04:36] <tmapj> what menu?
[04:36] <TiZ_> I think Windows firewall is on.
[04:36] <pteague> anybody here know much about mdadm for software raid?
[04:36] <Xecuter> tmapj, the ubuntu main menu
[04:36] <TiZ_> And I thought I already gave full access to everyone, but I could be wrong.
[04:37] <Gohalien> how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream
[04:37] <Sorcererbob> its worth double checking it
[04:37] <tmapj> no i can open OpenArena just fine, I just cant start combat.
[04:37] <balgarath> trying to get dialup working on a compaq presario c500(laptop)...gnome-ppp tells me "No modem was found on your system."  what do I need to do to get it to detect the modem?
[04:37] <Sorcererbob> disable Win Firewall
[04:37] <Xecuter> tmapj, oh, sorry then ^^
[04:37] <tmapj> np
[04:37] <TiZ_> Disable Windows Firewall?
[04:37] <Sorcererbob> yeah
[04:37] <TiZ_> 'kay, I'll look into that.
[04:37] <Sorcererbob> I'd go the whole hog and take off all the security
[04:37] <Sorcererbob> then get it working and re-enable one thing at a time
[04:39] <TiZ_> Disabling Windows Firewall didn't work. At all.
[04:39] <Sorcererbob> worth a shot :P did you check the permissions?
[04:39] <TiZ_> There's nothing fancy like permissions there.
[04:39] <TiZ_> Just the share name and whether users can change the files
[04:40] <shakir> thanks ubottu and bazhang
[04:40] <Sorcererbob> ah. go Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab > (down the bottom) Untick "Enable Simple File Sharing"
[04:40] <nantax> i have problem with samba, when i type smb://computername/ it displays a blank page (does not show the folder shares) but if i type smb://computername/folder, it prompts for login pass and i can access the share fine, how do i display the shared folder of computername (winxp)
[04:40] <Gohalien> how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream
[04:41] <TiZ_> Oh! Okay, thanks!
[04:41] <Sorcererbob> TiZ_, then you'll get a new tab when you re-open the properties. there should be a second set of permissions you can now play with
[04:41] <pen> what does i2c module do in xorg.conf?
[04:41] <TiZ_> That may very well do it.
[04:41] <TiZ_> Let's hope.
[04:41] <Sorcererbob> fingers crossed
[04:42] <TiZ_> Haha. Full Control.
[04:42] <TiZ_> Let's see if it works
[04:42] <TiZ_> Blast.
[04:42] <TiZ_> It didn't work.
[04:42] <EvolElm0> hmmm should i just install windows on one of my harddrives to play WOW.. or should i attempt to get it to work through wine?
[04:43] <tmapj> can anyone tell me what key to press to start OpenArena?
[04:43] <Sorcererbob> TiZ_, sorry mate, I'm out of ideas
[04:43] <nantax> Sorcererbob: i have problem with samba, when i type smb://computername/ it displays a blank page (does not ask for login/password & does not show the folder shares) but if i type smb://computername/folder, it prompts for login pass and i can access the share fine, how do i display the shared folder of computername (winxp), so that i dont have to remember what folders are shared.
[04:43] <Stedfel> Okay, I guess I'm just a comp idiot, but that won't work.
[04:43] <pen> Is this true? http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/howto-increase-video-performance-in.html
[04:44] <pukeko> i am using dapper but need to install a newer prog - what do i need to do with my sources.list ?
[04:44] <nickrud> Stedfel lspci was simply a step, discovering what video card you have so we could give you further advice
[04:44] <Sorcererbob> nantax, a problem that I have found with samba is exactly the same as what you've just found. You need to know the name of an existing share to connect to it. I don't know why though. I wonder if there is a fix...
[04:44] <Stedfel> I'm not even sure how to open up a terminal to do that mess, man.
[04:44] <Stedfel> I'm computer illiterate as of the moment.
[04:44] <nantax> Sorcererbob: thanks... good thing that the other pc is just near :)
[04:44] <candan> hi
[04:44] <nickrud> Stedfel apps->accessories->terminal
[04:44] <TiZ_> Ugh, this is crazy.
[04:44] <candan> how can i install xmms?
[04:44] <TiZ_> I'll just do what I need to do from Windows later.
[04:45] <TiZ_> I have to go back to play games sometime anyways.
[04:45] <nickrud> candan in 8.04, you'd have to find a third party repo
[04:45] <Stedfel> Thank you, Nickrud.
[04:45] <candan> yes
[04:45] <SeaPhor> TiZ_, why?
[04:45] <Mao2342> Well that didn't work :D
[04:45] <harushimo> anybody remember google open source site where you can download from their repos
[04:45] <Stedfel> But uh, how do I get to Apps?
[04:45] <harushimo> I can't remember
[04:45] <Mao2342> It's in the top left hand corner of the screen
[04:45] <Mao2342> lol
[04:46] <BHSPitLappy> code.google.com
[04:46] <Amy_> Is there a way to look up which package installed a given file/dir?
[04:46] <Stedfel> :
[04:46] <harushimo> no their is another one
[04:46] <nickrud> Stedfel applications, on the menu bar
[04:46] <harushimo> I'll find it
[04:46] <TiZ_> SeaPhor, what do you mean?
[04:46] <TiZ_> Why what?
[04:46] <SeaPhor> TiZ_, what games are you playing that wont ply better on linux?
[04:46] <astro76> candan: try Audacious, it's the continuation of xmms which is a dead project
[04:46] <harushimo> I found it
[04:46] <TiZ_> ZSNES. osu! (http://osu.ppy.sh), Audiosurf, etc.
[04:46] <runemast1> im trying to burn a DVD but all i get is "Unhandled error"
[04:47] <harushimo> http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ubuntu704.html
[04:47] <SeaPhor> TiZ_, *play
[04:47] <runemast1> any ideas?
[04:47] <harushimo> this is google repos for ubuntu
[04:47] <Dwxreaper3> See what user made the package see what was altered on the creation date?
[04:47] <igna> ALGUNO DE AQUI HABLA ESPAÑOL? MANDEME UN PRIV. POR FAVOR, GRACIAS,
[04:47] <astro76> !es | igna
[04:47] <TiZ_> *play?
[04:47] <TiZ_> Oh
[04:47] <TiZ_> Typo. I'm used to the asterisk being after. :P
[04:48] <SeaPhor> TiZ_, zsnes?
[04:48] <TiZ_> SeaPhor, ZSNES runs badly in Ubuntu. osu! does not yet run at all on Linux. I don't know about Audiosurf.
[04:48] <runemast1> does anyone know how to fix burning? im just using the standard gnome burner
[04:48] <astro76> !pm | candan
[04:48] <legend2440> Amy_: dpkg -S <filename>
[04:48] <TiZ_> Yeah, I've been trying to get ZSNES to run better with help from the forums.
[04:48] <TiZ_> But I've had no luck.
[04:48] <igna> hola
[04:49] <pukeko> how can i upgrade a dapper package for a non dapper repo ?
[04:49] <TristanS> Hey folks - I tried to install ubuntu on a macbook pro, but had no luck. Now, I'd like to revert my hdd to full-mac status - however, when using the bootcamp partitoner, it doesnt let me. Any tips?
[04:49] <neoskylla> I have special needs concerning the use of ubuntu. I wonder if I may have an installation into a portable hd, or something similar, that is able to dynamically recognize the hardware and at the same time enable customizations, like installing a patch, configure user accounts and etc.? Is it possible?

[04:50] <Mao2342> QUESTION: My kernel is not automatically booting as it should.  Instead when GRUB loads I get a selection screen for my three kernels and it just stays like that indefinitely.  The kernel I want to boot automatically is "Ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-17-generic".
[04:50] <tritium> pukeko: better to update to a new release entirely
[04:50] <Trainwreck> Has anyone been able to get RutilT to work with WPA2?
[04:50] <SeaPhor> TiZ_, so i am assuming you have tried here?  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Super_Nintendo_Emulator_.28ZSNES.29_1.510_for_i386.2FAMD64
[04:50] <nantax> its already been a while and i want to remove the .16 kernel, how do i do this?
[04:50] <pukeko> tritium:i just want a couple of packages upgraded
[04:51] <pukeko> tritium: namely partimaged
[04:51] <TiZ_> SeaPhor: I'm using Hardy. Is this issue present in Hardy?
[04:51] <snarkster> hi guys.. I dont see the unbutnu logo and slider bar when starting my computer, any clues?
[04:51] <tritium> pukeko: yes, but depending on dependencies of that package, it can be more hassle than it's worth
[04:51] <Mao2342> ?
[04:51] <Mao2342> Anybody?
[04:51] <astro76> nantax: open Synaptic, search for "2.6.24-16", uninstall all installed package the search found
[04:51] <pen> Is this true? http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/howto-increase-video-performance-in.html
[04:52] <SeaPhor> hrm, ur right, is old link,,,, assumed worked same,, i'll lok
[04:52] <Mao2342> ?
[04:53] <nantax> astro76:  thanks
[04:53] <Stedfel> Okay, I've still not found the apps thing.
[04:53] <basfre> what does yahoo do to prevent a user from getting access to email if the host(s) it uses is amongst the many in the private network?
[04:53] <Stedfel> Do I need to repeat that I can't get past the username/password screen?
[04:53] <pukeko> tritium: but when i have a small server(lts) thats  doing its job well why would i want to update to a new release ?
[04:53] <kevev> howdy all!!!
[04:53] <kevev> Anyone wanna help me with fglrx on 8.04???
[04:53] <basfre> am using an ubuntu as the gateway
[04:53] <kevev> no acceleration
[04:54] <nantax> astro76: There is no matching application available.
[04:54] <tritium> pukeko: it's up to you to weigh that vs. your need for whatever updated packages you want.
[04:54] <astro76> nantax: hmm?
[04:54] <Dwxreaper3> Bas,huh?
[04:54] <johncoltrane> Does anyone know how i can change .ogg files to .mp3 using sox?
[04:54] <SeaPhor> TiZ_,i do not see any difference in old-to-new, did you install thru synaptics?
[04:54] <TiZ_> Yes, SeaPhor.
[04:54] <nantax> astro76: my mistake, i went to the add/remove
[04:54] <astro76> nantax: ah hah ;)
[04:55] <nickrud> pen all of those with the exception of i2c and bitmap are autoloaded in my X, without those lines

[04:55] <kevev> when I go to Appearance Preferences and try to enable normal or extra effects. I get "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[04:55] <kevev> I used envyng to install the ATI driver.
[04:55] <TiZ_> SeaPhor: Very much so.
[04:55] <kevev> I have fglrx in my xorg.conf
[04:56] <bullgard4> astro76: Yes, I missed yur earlier response. (There was interference.)  --  Thank you very much for your help on rdf.
[04:56] <kevev> I also ran compiz-check. It says I am using the mesa driver not the fglrx
[04:56] <kevev> I dont know what to do
[04:56] <TiZ_> I have to disable the gfx filters to get decent speed. But in Windows, I can play with HQ3X!
[04:56] <kevev> please help
[04:56] <pen> nickrud, I see, but do you agree with it?
[04:56] <nickrud> kevev probably /var/log/Xorg.0.log will tell you something about the problem
[04:56] <tritium> pukeko: I told you that you'll have to deal not only with the packages, but also their dependencies, which could be painful
[04:56] <TiZ_> kevev, is fglrx installed and in use?
[04:56] <Mao2342> QUESTION: My kernel is not automatically booting as it should.  Instead when GRUB loads I get a selection screen for my three kernels and it just stays like that indefinitely.  The kernel I want to boot automatically is "Ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-17-generic".
[04:56] <TiZ_> Through the hardware drivers prog?
[04:57] <Mao2342> I need help with this people.
[04:57] <nickrud> pen not really.
[04:57] <SeaPhor> in the emulater there is config to play better, have you tried there?
[04:57] <TiZ_> SeaPhor, what do you mean, "config to play better"?
[04:57] <legend2440> johncoltrane: sox file.mp3 new.ogg or sox file.ogg new.mp3
[04:57] <basfre> Mao2342--> did you select one of the three and then press b  to boot?
[04:58] <kevev> TiZ: I do not see the module loaded
[04:58] <Mao2342> Yes, that works fine.
[04:58] <Mao2342> I want it to automatically select it.
[04:58] <SeaPhor> in the emulator, there is config , via settings, prefs, etc
[04:58] <Mao2342> I should be able to push my start button, go grab a cup of tea, then come back with a booted-up system.
[04:58] <snarkster> brb
[04:58] <TiZ_> kevev, I use fglrx too. But I installed it from System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers.

[04:59] <SeaPhor> TiZ_,    in the emulator, there is config , via settings, prefs, etc
[04:59] <Odd-rationale> are any vidoes from the latest LinuxTag available online to watch? Thanks!
[04:59] <pukeko> tritium: i don't mind some dependencies but when it just goes apeshit-hell it just reminds me of rpm hell
[04:59] <basfre> !who | Mao2342
[04:59] <TiZ_> SeaPhor, I know all that. As I said, turning off the graphics filter makes it run at full speed. But I shouldn't have to do that when my computer is well capable of doing better
[04:59] <kevev> TiZ: was having trouble with dual display doing it that way. I even tried installing 8.5 from ati
[04:59] <Mao2342> I am a recent convert to Ubuntu.
[04:59] <tritium> pukeko: watch your language, please
[04:59] <TiZ_> Oh. Can't help you then, kevev. Sorry.
[05:00] <pukeko> tritium: what "hell" ?l
[05:00] <TiZ_> Well, I can't at least.   This isn't a dependency problem.  You're trying to mix releases
[05:00] <kevev> someone help me with dual head ati X1600GT!
[05:00] <miickee> Can someone help with increasing gfx performance, be it settings/driver problems?
[05:00] <pukeko> tritium: ...yeah .. but my question is kinda " is it doable ?"
 Time to reboot.......
[05:02] <eross> ok, how do i fix my nvidia settings, I installed the new kernel for i386, the .17 version and now i'm stuck at 640x480
[05:02] <pukeko> tritium: ok cheers for the advice ... i'll go try and compile it in instead or choose another app
[05:02] <nickrud> tritium you are quick
[05:02] <SeaPhor> yes, your pc is well able to run todays games, but if you are running zsnes games, then a very different story, i play COH. SplinterCell, and Oblivion,, but when i want to play mb3,, i have to adjust?
[05:02] <tritium> nickrud: only sometimes
[05:03] <Micka> Hi all!
[05:03] <n838901> eross: how did you install the nvidia driver?
[05:03] <eross> it worked with my vanilla 8.04 install
[05:03] <Gohalien> how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream
[05:03] <n838901> ahh
[05:03] <eross> then thru synaptic the newest kernel was available and i installed
[05:03] <Micka> I have a query: I currently am running Hardy, and loving it, but I have a windows installation on this box as well. I'd like to be able to run that installation inside Linux. Can it be done?
[05:03] <nickrud> tritium I meant, faster than I this time
[05:03] <klos> anyone can tell me how to access a mac os hfs volume with write access for the user, i only have write access for root
[05:03] <eross> now it's broke
[05:03] <n838901> eros: install the 'linux restricted' package
[05:04] <Flynsarmy> Hi. Ubuntu just froze on me. i dont know if it has an equivalent of windows' ctrl+alt+del so i just held the power button. is there some tool i can run that will tell me what went wrong? maybe submit an error report or something
[05:04] <n838901> that should include the newer nvidia driver for that kernel
[05:05] <eross> linux-restricted-common is installed
[05:05] <n838901> hmm.. what about nvidia-glx?
[05:05] <eross> linux-restricted-modules-common, and nvidia-glx-new is also
[05:05] <TiZ_> Well, thanks for your help, guys. I'm gonna take off now. Bye.
[05:06] <AaronH> klos, I think you need to put the user option in the /etc/fstab  for that device and mount.
[05:06] <eross> it says hardware acceleration is on and enabled in my hardware thing
[05:06] <Bllz> My vista computer cannot locate SMB shares from my ubuntu box--it keep saying that the server name does not exist, but I have checked the name several times and it is correct.  Can someone help me figure out if it's a windoze or ubuntu problem?
[05:06] <Micka> I've got no clue. Every virtualisation option I find wants me to re-install windows. It's already installed on another partition, I just want to emulate that inside Linyx
[05:06] <n838901> erosss: has your xorg file been overwritten somehow?
[05:06] <klos> yea im reading some tuts right now: sudo chown -R Nutzer:Gruppe /media/Einhängepunkt
[05:06] <klos> tried it with this command frst
[05:06] <eross> i ran nvidia-xorg several times
[05:06] <Frenzi> i want to install flash on my hardy (8.04) box.  the default installation directory is /usr/lib/mozilla, and the suggested directory is /usr/lib/firefox, neither of which work
[05:06] <n838901> can anyone tell me why i have to manually enable compiz every time i login?
[05:06] <klos> ah no luck :(
[05:06] <eross> so yes it is overwritten i'm sure
[05:07] <n838901> eross: nvidia-xconfig?
[05:07] <eross> err yes, that one sorry
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Micka /join #vbox
[05:07] <legend2440> johncoltrane: package soundconverter will do a whole directory with a gui interface
[05:07] <SeaPhor> tmapj, heya
[05:07] <n838901> ok.. check in /etc/X11/..  you should have backups of the xorg.conf file
[05:07] <Micka> Okay, thanks :)
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash | Frenzi
[05:07] <kbrosnan> Frenzi: why not just instal flash-nonfree
[05:08] <Bllz> My vista computer cannot locate SMB shares from my ubuntu box--it keep saying that the server name does not exist, but I have checked the name several times and it is correct.  Can someone help me figure out if it's a windoze or ubuntu problem?
[05:08] <miickee> Only two packages are needed for flash to work in hardy: ubuntu-restricted-extras and flash-nonfree.
[05:08] <Frenzi> kbrosnan.... flash-nonfree didn't work
[05:08] <illogick> i have a problem when my update manager runs. it just freezes up as soon as i click install. any suggestions?
[05:08] <eross> ok, will go thru and see if i can find a resolution in one of those.. if i find one, then what.. copy it over the current one? then what.. log off and log back in?
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Frenzi Are you running 64 bit
[05:08] <Frenzi> jack_sparrow no.... i386
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Frenzi How did you try and install flash
[05:09] <eross> or after changing the xorg.conf, reboot?
[05:09] <Bllz> anybody know why my SMB share isn't getting through to vista?  It worked a while ago, but now vista is telling me that my server's name is wrong (it's not...)  what gives?

I've installing a package using *apt-get -f install  libmysqlclient-dev* but it says   ----- Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: ----- The following packages have unmet dependencies:   libmysqlclient-dev: Depends: libmysqlclie
[05:36] <john__> it works like a charm. i chose this one because 7.10 didn't even work.  this is why ubuntu is great..

[05:39] <Gohalien> runemast1, what is your problem burning ?
[05:39] <sgraham> i cant believe this is this difficult
[05:39] <legend2440> kingkong: how about sudo aptitude install  libmysqlclient-dev
[05:39] <TurkishSquirrel> hey, im having this problem where i click to open the synaptic package manager, and it tries to open this thing where it says at the bottom starting administrator... and then nothing happens
[05:39] <runemast1> i get "Unhandled Error, Aborting".
[05:40] <sgraham> i still cant use the kdm login manager im beating my head against the wall
[05:40] <runemast1> every time
[05:40] <TurkishSquirrel> any ideas?
[05:40] <john__> I'm using an iMac G3. I have Ubuntu 5.10.. when I start GAIM and login on MSN, it shows the list then quickly disappears. not to the systray, because i'm looking right at it (duh) and it's not there. i need gaim. what should i do?
[05:40] <Gohalien> runemast1, I had problems with deluge, try gnomebaker
[05:40] <Bjoer1> hey anybody, how come I cant see videos youtube?
[05:40] <sgraham> it literally crashes everytime at the sessions starting display page..takes me right back to kdm
[05:40] <basfre> Gutsy_Guy--> you can use an editor like gkedit or vim
[05:40] <endafy> sgraham sudo aptitude install kubuntu
[05:40] <Gohalien> how to mount a partition automactly when I boot ubuntu ?
[05:40] <sgraham> endafy: funny
[05:40] <runemast1> ok thanks Gohalien
[05:40] <endafy> it fixes it
[05:40] <sgraham> thats how i got into this situation.
[05:40] <Gutsy_Guy> @bafre it is not utf-8 encoded
[05:40] <Gutsy_Guy> so it doesn't open with gedit
[05:40] <AaronH> Bjoer1, because you have to install java runtime environment and flashplayer
[05:40] <TurkishSquirrel>  hey, im having this problem where i click to open the synaptic package manager, and it tries to open this thing where it says at the bottom starting administrator... and then nothing happens, any ideas what to do?
[05:40] <Gohalien> john__, try a newer version ^^
[05:41] <basfre> Gutsy_Guy--> use vim or nano ?
[05:41] <john__> will the newer gaim (pidgin) work fine as the older ones or will it lag?
[05:41] <runemast1> LOL
[05:41] <john__> because i am on an imac g3
[05:41] <frsandstone77> anyone know of a good ipod converter for ubuntu 8.04 hardy?

[05:42] <Kohlrak> wouldn't kubuntu be a sub-distrobution?
[05:43] <ledmushroom> i am wondering what this means W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg  Could not connect to localhost:4001 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)

[05:43] <AaronH> mmiski, do "gksu displayconfig-gtk"
[05:43] <Kohlrak> ledmushroom, looks like you have a problem XD
[05:43] <AaronH> then configure your second monitor
[05:43] <alan_m> Kohlrak, its a derivative, a supported and acknowledged derivative made by canonical.
[05:43] <cmatt85> I hate to bother you guys but, i am running feisty(7.10) I let it update a few days ago and since then i seem to have lost some desktop functionality, i can no longer see my icons and the context click (on the desktop) no longer functions. Any ideas?
[05:43] <ledmushroom> XD so funny
[05:43] <ledmushroom> haha
[05:44] <cmatt85> hello?
[05:44] <Kohlrak> well ledmushroom, what program gives you that error?
[05:44] <Bllz> cmatt85:  have you tried restarting X?
[05:44] <ledmushroom> snaptic
[05:44] <cmatt85> yes i have
[05:44] <ledmushroom> synaptic after i click reload
[05:44] <Bllz> cmatt85:  no clue then... sorry!
[05:45] <Kohlrak> that's really odd
[05:45] <cmatt85> i have also edited the nautilus settings to show computer icons and such
[05:45] <Kohlrak> try changing your download server, sounds like you're trying ot use yourself as an update server
[05:45] <ledmushroom> thats what i was thinking
[05:45] <ledmushroom>  brb
[05:46] <cmatt85> I hate to bother you guys but, i am running feisty(7.10) I let it update a few days ago and since then i seem to have lost some desktop functionality, i can no longer see my icons and the context click (on the desktop) no longer functions. Any ideas?
[05:46] <ventz> I can't find an apache2 + ssl tutorial anywhere for 8.04
[05:46] <Kohlrak> did you update TO feisty or from feisty?
[05:46] <torroella> anyone use irssi? how can i connect to a psybnc? and how do i change my ident???
[05:46] <ventz> anyone can point me to a link?
[05:46] <ubuntuissweet> quick question. what is the code to remove fglrx reinstalling the libgl packages?
[05:46] <Kohlrak> ventz, how would it be different from any other version of ubuntu?
[05:47] <ubuntuissweet> (im hardy heron if that makes a difference)
[05:47] <ventz> Kohlrak: it seems that a couple of things are missing
[05:47] <Kohlrak> ventz, i take it you're on a laptop =p
[05:47] <ventz> Kohlrak: nope, openbsd user here
[05:47] <ventz> i usually do everything from source or use the ports
[05:47] <ventz> so seeing the "sites-enabled" is just freaking me out :)
[05:48] <Kohlrak> ubuntussweet, what are you talkin' about?
[05:48] <ventz> Kohlrak: trying to basically setup ssl on my mythtv setup
[05:48] <J-_> what flash player should I install for my 64bit installation?
[05:48] <ubuntuissweet> well, im having problems with my ati card (i guess thats common) and someone on a forum suggested that i do just that
[05:48] <massmc> ventz?
[05:48] <Kohlrak> been a long time since i've used apatche. My server computer is actually a windows, but i'm thinking about chanign that... not sure though yet
[05:48] <massmc> vents oner?
[05:49] <torroella> anyone use irssi? how can i connect to a psybnc? and how do i change my ident???
[05:49] <ventz> massmc: yes?
[05:49] <ubuntuissweet> ive tried the ati unoffical wiki, that isnt cutting it.
[05:49] <Kohlrak> ubuntusweet, i happen to have lots of problems with GL and my ATI on ubuntu... not really much you can do on that part. you just want to try to uninstall gl if possible (might only be certain GL things so you might not have to get rid of everything)
[05:50] <massmc> thought you were someone else.. my bad
[05:50] <ventz> ok
[05:50] <eaotian> is there a fluxbox package in the default repos?
[05:50] <cmatt85> I hate to bother you guys but, i am running feisty(7.10) I let it update a few days ago and since then i seem to have lost some desktop functionality, i can no longer see my icons and the context click (on the desktop) no longer functions. Any ideas?
[05:51] <tritium> eaotian: apt-cache search fluxbox
[05:51] <ubuntuissweet> kohlrak- im willing to try anything except what ive tried before :P so how would you suggest id try that- i have the restore code handy in case it doesnt work
[05:51] <eaotian> tritium: thank you!
[05:51] <Kohlrak> um... i think xgl is the name of the problem
[05:52] <anirudh0> cmatt85, hi..its likely that we can help you fix this problem..however problems with upgrades are far too frequent to assume that this will be the last one..a fresh install make a lot of sense
[05:52] <Kohlrak> just look that up in synaptics and uninstall it completely
[05:52] <Kohlrak> then reboot and it might work
[05:52] <Kohlrak> chances are it's that weird bug where DRI won't work at all with xgl
[05:52] <cmatt85> it was not an upgrade
[05:53] <anirudh0> oh
[05:53] <cmatt85> just a few minor updates
[05:53] <MrPocknix__> is it possible to clear the RAM without rebooting?
[05:53] <anirudh0> cmatt85, icons invisible in gnome panel?
[05:53] <cmatt85> no
[05:54] <anirudh0> MrPocknix__, depends on what you mean by "clearing" ram
[05:54] <MrPocknix__> well
[05:54] <cmatt85> pannels and everything else is fine
[05:54] <MrPocknix__> i've got 47% ram used
[05:54] <MrPocknix__> and its running like it
[05:54] <john__> GAIM CLOSES out when i login what should i do? i got the latest version of gaim before the name change (not the betas)
[05:54] <ubuntuissweet> hmm according to synaptics- its not installed anyway
[05:54] <Kohlrak> hm...................................
[05:54] <Kohlrak> i don't know what to tell you
[05:54] <Kohlrak> that might be your problem
[05:54] <Ashfire908> Has anyone here used apt-cacher? It's refusing connections and I don't know why.
[05:54] <anirudh0> MrPocknix__, run "top" in the terminal..it will give you the apps eating up the most ram..or check in system monitor for that matter..and close them
[05:54] <Kohlrak> you're trying to disable GL that isn't there XD
[05:55] <anirudh0> Ashfire908, apt-cacher or apt-cache
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> haha- thats why im a newb :P
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> would this info help fglrxinfo
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> display: :0.0  screen: 0
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2)
[05:55] <FloodBot3> ubuntuissweet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:55] <anirudh0> cmatt85, then where are icons invisible
[05:55] <Kohlrak> ubuntuissweet, i had that problem before but only with xgl installed
[05:55] <Ashfire908> anirudh0, apt-cacher, apt-cache doesn't serve connections.
[05:55] <ubuntuissweet> sorry- didnt mean to flood- thought it would all be in the same post
[05:55] <Kohlrak> you seem to be in a pickle
[05:56] <anirudh0> Kohlrak, his DRI is messed up
[05:56] <ledmushroom> ok that didnt work
[05:56] <john__> GAIM CLOSES out when i login what should i do? i got the latest version of gaim before the name change (not the betas)
[05:56] <JbCrash> how to force close application..like we use in windows.. ctrl+alt+del ..i hv application in ubuntu stop..i cant click x button
[05:56] <sixtyby3> JbCrash you can use the System Monitor
[05:57] <mmiski> AaronH: thanks for the displayconfig-gtk - awesome tool.  when I try to add samsong monitor for the screen It asks for driver?  Do I need to see if there is a driver for ubuntu?
[05:57] <JbCrash> sixtyby3:  wat the command?
[05:57] <ubuntuissweet> so first vote would be to actuall isntall xserver -xgl?
[05:57] <sixtyby3> System>Administration>System Monitor
[05:57] <john__> GAIM CLOSES out when i login what should i do? i got the latest version of gaim before the name change (not the betas)
[05:57] <anirudh0> JbCrash, either use system monitor..or the terminal..in terminal type "killall <app-name>
[05:57] <Kohlrak> anirudh0, i know.... It wants to use some weird mesa instead... All ATI cards get this problem when GL is mixed in, cause ATI won't make the drivers right for linux
[05:57] <sixtyby3> Click on the processes tab and right click and KILL the process you want to force quit
[05:57] <ledmushroom> how do i change where synaptic looks for package info
[05:57] <cmatt85> all files,volumes ect are missing form the desktop itself
[05:58] <sixtyby3> Change the Repositories settings
[05:58] <ledmushroom> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg  Could not connect to localhost:4001 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[05:58] <legend2440> ledmushroom: do you have proxy like tor installed?
[05:58] <AaronH> mmiski, a generic driver should be fine.
[05:58] <ledmushroom> thats still what i am getting
[05:58] <Kohlrak> Settings -> repositories, ledmushroom
[05:58] <ledmushroom> i did
[05:58] <anirudh0> cmatt85, you changes anything in gxonf-editor..that sounds like the "display_volumes" flag is set to false
[05:58] <ledmushroom>  removed it
[05:58] <anirudh0> *changed
[05:58] <mmiski> AaronH, any suggestions where I look
[05:58] <cmatt85> i all ready checked those in gconf-editor
[05:59] <Kohlrak> don't know what to say then ledmushroom, seems like synaptic's broken
[05:59] <AaronH> mmiski, there should be generic driver in "gksu displayconfig-gtk"
[05:59] <john__> WHEN I LOGIN ON GAIM, IT CLOSES OUT. HELP.
[05:59] <anirudh0> cmatt85, one sec
[05:59] <cmatt85> ok, thanks
[05:59] <AaronH> mmiski, the monitor you are looking for might be in there too
[05:59] <Kohlrak> note to self: should stay out of this channel for a while. these hardy errors are getting weirder and weirder.
[06:00] <ledmushroom> well I think it had something to do with tor and privoxy
[06:00] <meltingclock> haha
[06:00] <Kohlrak> maybe, led...
[06:00] <ledmushroom> removed both
[06:01] <anirudh0> cmatt85, gconf-editor..in apps>nautilus>desktop..is "volumes visible" checked?
[06:01] <cmatt85> yes, they all are
[06:01] <Weems> Im having a issue setting up hellanzb http://pastebin.ca/1037537
[06:01] <Kohlrak> any improvement ledmushroom?
[06:01] <mmiski> AaronH, says my graphics card Driver is fglrx
[06:02] <legend2440> ledmushroom: does firefox work?
[06:02] <mmiski> AaronH, and graphics carf ATI Radeon (fbdev)
[06:02] <anirudh0> cmatt85, so you have mounted volumes that dont show up...strange..try sudo killall nautilus&&nautilus..see if it gives a useful error mesg
[06:03] <john__> WHEN I LOGIN ON GAIM, IT CLOSES OUT. HELP.
[06:03] <AaronH> mmiski, before you start changing everything you should backup your xorg.conf
[06:03] <cmatt85> ok that's bad! nautilus: no process killed
[06:03] <cmatt85> nautilus: no process killed
[06:03] <cmatt85> nautilus: no process killed
[06:03] <cmatt85> Ok thats bad! it says no process killed
[06:03] <FloodBot3> cmatt85: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:04] <cmatt85> sorry
[06:04] <AaronH> mmiski, do "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup"
[06:04] <cecc> hi
[06:04] <anirudh0> cmatt85, ps -A|grep nau
[06:04] <cecc> anybody here can give me a help
[06:05] <ledmushroom> yes it does
[06:05] <cmatt85> grep nau
[06:05] <meltingclock> !ask
[06:05] <cecc> my ubuntu cann't open the Firefox 305
[06:05] <ledmushroom>  still not working
[06:05] <anirudh0> cmatt85, nautilus is responsible for drawing the desktop
[06:05] <AaronH> mmiski, then if anything fail you can always bring it back to the way it was before by doing "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[06:05] <mmiski> AaronH, done
[06:05] <cmatt85> i see
[06:05] <cmatt85> how do i start it
[06:05] <AaronH> good, mmis
[06:05] <AaronH> good, mmiski
[06:05] <cecc> when it open firefox, the interface of Firefox stuck
[06:06] <anirudh0> cmatt85, open up any folder..nautilus is the file manager
[06:06] <cecc> so what is the reason for this?
[06:06] <anirudh0> cmatt85, works?
[06:06] <cmatt85> no
[06:06] <cmatt85> i can see the file viewer
[06:06] <cmatt85> but i still have no icons
[06:06] <meltingclock> cecc: stuck?
[06:07] <anirudh0> cmatt85, run from terminal...run the grep command first
[06:07] <ledmushroom> crap
[06:07] <mmiski> AaronH, bummed my monitor isn't listed
[06:07] <MrPocknix__> easiest way to send a file from one ubuntu box to the next via LAN ?
[06:07] <john__> I have a question I've been asking for -- who knows how long! I try to log-in GAIM 1.50 (something like that) and it closes out.. when I login.  I'[m on an imac g3 running ubuntu 5.10
[06:07] <anirudh0> cmatt85, using the default icon theme is assume?
[06:07] <AaronH> mmiski, doesn't matter generic monitor drivers work great
[06:07] <rpedro__> can someone running hardy do me a favor of visiting this site in firefox with flash-nonfree installed, and tell me if their cpu usage spikes to near 100%?
[06:07] <cmatt85> yes
[06:07] <anirudh0> cmatt85, some icon themes are buggy/incomplete
[06:07] <anirudh0> k
[06:07] <gmenelau> when i am try to install the advance desktop all i get is this msg : W: Failed to fetch http://mt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/compizconfig-settings-manager/compizconfig-settings
[06:07] <cecc> meltingclock yes
[06:07] <bullgard4> MrPocknix__: Samba or VNC
[06:08] <mmiski> AaronH, k, I'll give it a shot
[06:08] <meltingclock> cecc: what do you mean
[06:08] <cecc> I think, it is sthing about the gnome
[06:08] <anirudh0> cmatt85, terminal output?
[06:08] <cecc> meltingclock the firefox's interface stuck
[06:09] <anirudh0> what do you mean by "stuck"...not responding?
[06:09] <cecc> and even the pidgin's face stuck
[06:09] <cecc> yes
[06:09] <cecc> it seems to be busy
[06:09] <ledmushroom> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg  Could not connect to localhost:4001 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)
[06:09] <meltingclock> hmm
[06:09] <w8CWE> Hhai apa cabar !
[06:09] <ariqs> if I get a book on linux/ubuntu, should I get one that's for linux in general or one that specializes towards ubuntu?
[06:09] <cecc> but the cpu usage is not too much
[06:09] <anirudh0> ledmushroom, are you connecting to a local proxy on port 4001?
[06:09] <ToneWhy> hi i need help settin up my vsftpd server. is there any tutorial on this step by step. i don't want to have anon people login. but want to specify a user
[06:09] <cmatt85> That worked! thank you!
[06:09] <AaronH> mmiski, that "gksu displayconfig-gtk"  will allow you to test the setting before you set them too
[06:10] <anirudh0> cmatt85, glad to help..what happened exactly though?
[06:10] <bullgard4> ariqs: A book on Ubuntu.
[06:10] <ledmushroom> was uninstalled the proxy and tor and tork
[06:10] <anirudh0> tork?
[06:10] <Syntux> ariqs, depends what you are looking for.
[06:10] <Furom> In the update manager, when it says something like "Non-free Linux 2.6.24 modules helper script", in the description, what does that mean? It's the description of "linux-restricted-modules-common", whatever that is.
[06:10] <cmatt85> anirudh0 That worked! Thank you! will they stay there?
[06:10] <meltingclock> cecc: I have no idea. I was going to ask about your cpu usage but it's not much you say
[06:10] <cecc> meltingclock yesterday when I turn off my ubuntu, the power button can not be used
[06:10] <anirudh0> cmatt85, if you _really_ need it..i have some stuff to do otherwise
[06:10] <ariqs> syntux: understanding. I want to be able to figure things out without having to come in these rooms and ask for a few days
[06:11] <anirudh0> cmatt85, hay..misread the question :)
[06:11] <cecc> I think, maybe there is sth wrong with the gnome
[06:11] <ToneWhy> can anyone help me with my vsftpd server?
[06:11] <cecc> I mean the desktop environment
[06:11] <runemast1> anybody know how to fix CD and DVD Creator in Nautilus?
[06:11] <anirudh0> cmatt85, yes..they should..else add nautilus& to the startup programs in sys>prefs>sessions
[06:11] <cmatt85> ok thanks
[06:11] <Syntux> ariqs, being able to figure things out without asking is matter of experience in finding your way rather than knowledge in certain topic
[06:11] <cmatt85> ill do that
[06:11] <gmenelau> when i am try to install the advance desktop all i get is this msg : W: Failed to fetch http://mt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/compizconfig-settings-manager/compizconfig-settings...
[06:11] <AaronH> runemast1, why not just use gnomebaker
[06:12] <meltingclock> cecc: that is very strange...hmm..   i'm unsure how to trouble troubleshoot this one
[06:12] <cecc> meltingclock anyway, is there a method to reinstall the ubuntu?
[06:12] <ariqs> a base set of knowledge is the requirement for being able to figure things out
[06:12] <anirudh0> cmatt85, it also means that your home folder will get opened in the file manager when you login
[06:12] <cecc> thank you meltingclock
[06:12] <cmatt85> yeah, I saw that when i started nautilus
[06:12] <meltingclock> cecc: completely? you could always reformat and reinstall...
[06:12] <anirudh0> cecc, have you tried other environments like xfce?
[06:12] <meltingclock> last resort, though?
[06:12] <cecc> however it is indeed a troubel thing
[06:13] <Syntux> ariqs, if you want to dive into Ubuntu then get some ubuntu books or better start reading the https://help.ubuntu.com/
[06:13] <cecc> anirudh0 not on ubuntu
[06:13] <anirudh0> cecc, is your computer of an ancient variety?
[06:13] <cmatt85> why did the icons not show up when nautilus want started from the terminal
[06:13] <cmatt85> ?
[06:13] <LtL> gmenelau: the server you're using doesn't have the file. 404 not found. use another mirror.
[06:13] <cecc> anirudh0 not A ancient one
[06:13] <cecc> but made on 2003
[06:13] <anirudh0> cmatt85, you need to kill all instances of nautilus..then start it again
[06:13] <Syntux> ariqs, if you want to dive into another topic within linux, like linux development, programming, packaging, networking etc.. you have to get a specific book about it and hopefully it matches your favorite distribution.
[06:13] <Mao2343> k
[06:13] <runemast1> AaronH: i tried. it didnt like the "more than 6 nested directories"
[06:14] <cecc> I have no idea how to fix genome
[06:14] <anirudh0> cecc, :)..2 years old is ancient for computers nowadays
[06:14] <cecc> oh
[06:14] <cecc> things are trouble here
[06:14] <meltingclock> lol it should be fine
[06:14] <anirudh0> cecc, but that should'nt be a problem..disable compiz
[06:14] <cecc> hehe, I think my laptop is still good,
[06:14] <anirudh0> cecc, should help with responsiveness..
[06:14] <legend2440> ledmushroom: have you looked in system>prefs>network proxy and click direct connection?
[06:14] <cecc> anirudh0 yes
[06:14] <meltingclock> this computer I'm on is around 5 - 7 years old
[06:15] <cmatt85> no, i mean i could start the file browser from the gnome-bar, and it would work, but i still had no desktop icons
[06:15] <cecc> and I didn't use compiz
[06:15] <cmatt85> why did starting it from the terminal make them appear
[06:15] <ariqs> syntux: I'm a bit of a programmer already. What gets me is the basics of linux ;P
[06:15] <Syntux> ariqs, One of the best way to learn is to keep an eye on https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu check the new questions, google it and give an answer but you have to be careful and you have to do your best to give a proper answer.
[06:15] <anirudh0> cmatt85, it starts with an option when you start from the panel.. "--filemanger-mode" or something like that
[06:16] <ledmushroom> yes
[06:16] <john__> SOMEON EHELP ME. GAIM CLOSES OUT EVERYTIME I LOGIN AND I AM TIRED OF ASKING THIS OVER 9000 TIMES
[06:16] <cmatt85> ok
[06:16] <cmatt85> thanks for the help.
[06:16] <ledmushroom>  that has been click everything is working but the package manager
[06:16] <cmatt85> um bye then
[06:16] <anirudh0> john__, the logical thing to do is to remove gaim..and install pidgin
[06:16] <Syntux> ariqs, are you up to take online courses? if so go and signup for Ubuntu Certified Professional course http://ubuntu.savoirfairelinux.com/elearning/
[06:16] <ariqs> I installed/compiled,etc my graphics drivers about 30 times before I got them to work. I bugged people in here for days about it and never got anywhere. I don't want that to happen again
[06:16] <Kennedy> is there a way to make sed write to the same files in reads from?
[06:16] <mmiski> AaronH, do i have to open displayconfig-gtk as sudo if I want changes to keep? when I hit apply or okay then open it again it is back to original
[06:16] <ubuntu> hellow
[06:16] <orgonurg> I am unable to modify folders in the Filesystem directory from the desktop manager, since they belong to root. I also cannot change the permissions via the file manager. Is there any way to unlock them? Running latest version of Ubuntu.
[06:16] <ariqs> no, I don't like superficial pieces of paper, nor do I like structure. I want a book :p
[06:17] <Syntux> ariqs, it's really good one.
[06:17] <ubuntu> hellow  flower
[06:17] <Kennedy> orgonurg: use sudo
[06:17] <john__> anirudh0, i dont see an ubuntu one on the pidgin place.. i see fedora core.
[06:17] <orgonurg> What's the command to unlock it? Or do you mean I should move/delete/whatever files using the terminal?
[06:17] <AaronH> mmiski, yes you have do sudo or gksu for that config program to save the changes
[06:18] <legend2440> ledmushroom: open synaptic>settings>preferences>network direct connection clicked?
[06:18] <meltingclock> john_: go to synaptic manager and search for 'pidgin'
[06:18] <mmiski> AaronH,  duh, at least I figured it out (kind of)
[06:18] <AaronH> :)
[06:18] <Syntux> orgonurg, how did they become owned by root ?
[06:18] <ledmushroom> yes
[06:18] <john__> meltingclock: i searched for pidgin and nothing came up. i'm running ubuntu 5.10 on an imac g3. that's definitely probably why
[06:19] <orgonurg> Syntux: it was like that when I installed Ubuntu.
[06:19] <meltingclock> ah yeah probably not avaliable, someone might correct me, though
[06:19] <ubuntu> fuck to all mans
[06:19] <john__> ...wat
[06:19] <AussieBobby> there always one
[06:19] <mmiski> AaronH, it says I have to restart - is there a way to just restart xwindows?
[06:19] <john__> lolwat@ubuntu
[06:20] <meltingclock> john_: anyway.... logging out...of the accounts?
[06:20] <mmiski> AaronH, or should I just reboot....
[06:20] <Syntux> orgonurg, nearly impossible anyway a quick fix could be "sudo chown $USER:$USER -R ~/Desktop" without the quotes.
[06:20] <john__> meltingclock: i only have msn added. i login, it closes out. and it sure as hell logs me in because my friend says he sees me logging in. it just keeps closing
[06:20] <Bjoer1> Hello again, I've got the java runtime environment and flashplayer installed, but can not see video on youtube..
[06:20] <AaronH> mmiski, yes, you can do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[06:21] <Syntux> orgonurg,  chown - change file owner and group, check the manpage for more information, man chown
[06:21] <AaronH> you will have to type that twice..... because the first one will kill your X windows and you will have to re-enter that command
[06:21] <bullgard4> The Virtual Network Computing client executable is /usr/bin/vinagre. What is the executable of the Virtual Network Computing server?
[06:21] <AaronH> mmiski,
[06:21] <mmiski> AaronH, thanks, i'm gonna kill IRC for a sec - brb
[06:21] <AaronH> k
[06:21] <meltingclock> john__:  right. logging out of the account or the program itself
[06:21] <meltingclock> ?
[06:22] <john__> meltingclock: wellllll it logs me out then closes the program. like, i login.. list shows, then BAM it closes.
[06:22] <john__> so both
[06:22] <orgonurg> Syntux: That didn't seem to do it. When I go to any folder in the Filesystem, then to Properties->Permissions it still says owner is root and that I cannot change the settings. Can't modify any of the folders.
[06:23] <gmenelau> LtL i tried many server even the main not such luck
[06:23] <Syntux> orgonurg, did you perform that command ?
[06:23] <orgonurg> Yes
[06:23] <Gohalien> how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream
[06:23] <meltingclock> john__:  that's very weird but i've had problems with gaim/msn in the past. this sounds more like a GAIM problem though, lemme do some googling
[06:23] <Syntux> orgonurg, can you paste the output of "ls -l ~/Desktop" to http://paste.syntux.net
[06:23] <john__> meltingclock: okay i'll wait
[06:24] <Syntux> orgonurg, are you logged in as root by any chance?
[06:24] <orgonurg> Sorry, I think there might be some confusion here. I CAN modify things on the desktop; it's all of the other folders that are owned by root
[06:24] <Syntux> orgonurg, Ok, lets clear it up here
[06:25] <Syntux> orgonurg, what files are you talking about?
[06:25] <meltingclock> john__: this is a toughie
[06:25] <john__> meltingclock; yeah i tried googling myself for the answer and it was hard
[06:25] <orgonurg> Well, I wanted to install a new set of icons, so went to usr->share-> etc etc. Icons folder is locked
[06:26] <ledmushroom> freakin crap
[06:26] <meltingclock> john__:  just outta curiosity, do you have an account for something else that you could just try? i.e. an AIM sn or yahoo sn etc
[06:26] <orgonurg> Can't copy/paste the new icon set into that directory.
[06:26] <john__> meltingclock: i'll try aim
[06:26] <orgonurg> Do I just use that same command, only replace Desktop with the specific directory I want to unlock?
[06:26] <meltingclock> okay. lemme know if it logs/closes out too.
[06:27] <john__> meltingclock: IT DOESN'T close out
[06:27] <Syntux> orgonurg, of course, that folder is locked for root; if you want to copy and paste your new set of icons you have to install them from "System  -> Preferences -> Appearance"
[06:27] <Syntux> orgonurg, No that would mess things up
[06:27] <orgonurg> Oh, okay. I tried installing them from there but for some reason it did not work.
[06:28] <orgonurg> I thought I had to manually paste the new folder into the icons directory.
[06:28] <meltingclock> john__:  that's effin creepy
[06:28] <Syntux> orgonurg, the thing about your case is that icons installation takes more than copying and pasting them into that directory
[06:28] <legend2440> ledmushroom: anything in /etc/environment regardin localhost 4001?
[06:28] <meltingclock> john__: i really don't know. i remember a couple yrs ago gAIM wouldn't even let me sign on to MSN for a while
[06:28] <orgonurg> Could you tell me how to do it? Or link me to a step by step guide about it?
[06:28] <Syntux> orgonurg, take it as 'the system has to register the new set into its database'  so copying and pasting wont work, most likely.
[06:29] <orgonurg> Oh, I see.
[06:29] <woodie_> i want my ubuntu to connect the printer of another win pc, i can see the test paper reached the win one, but it can not be printed ,  printer :sharp A 158s
[06:29] <john__> meltingclock: i'mma try to readd my msn name just for the hell of it, which i'm sure it doesnt work that way ;)
[06:29] <meltingclock> john__:  what throws me off is that you said it closes out of the program, too
[06:30] <Syntux> orgonurg, if you are not able to install it through Appearance interface then it wasn't made for Ubuntu and/or it is not compatible with it
[06:30] <john__> meltingclock: whoa MSN works
[06:30] <meltingclock> high five
[06:30] <xTheGoat121x> I've got an odd problem with permissions of an fstab mounted partition
[06:30] <john__> meltingclock: i just readded my name.. and i added an alias too.. maybe i was supposed to have an alias?
[06:30] <orgonurg> It's a GNOME icon set
[06:30] <Syntux> orgonurg, where did you get your icons from ?
[06:30] <john__> WOOO GAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM WORKS. I'm going now, if i have more proiblems i'll come back.
[06:30] <meltingclock> it shouldn't need an alias. if its blank it would just show up as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>yea?
[06:30] <xTheGoat121x> I have R/W permissions on it, but all the files on it currently show as belonging to root, not me.
[06:31] <orgonurg> I got it over at gnome-look.org -- it's the Black-White 2 Style set.
[06:31] <Syntux> orgonurg, url please
[06:31] <Syntux> orgonurg, http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-11.html.en
[06:31] <tony_> hi i'm having trouble with my graphics can anyone help me?
[06:31] <tony_> i installed nvidia glx new but its not working
[06:31] <orgonurg> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/black-white+2+Style?content=72619
[06:32] <ledmushroom> i dont see /ect/environment
[06:33] <legend2440> ledmushroom: not /ect    /etc/environment
[06:33] <tony_> anyone know how to fix my graphics? the system is not using my graphics card
[06:33] <Syntux> orgonurg, I'm not sure why they aint install; they didn't work even on my system
[06:33] <Syntux> orgonurg, I'm sure it's something related to the theme itself.
[06:34] <ledmushroom> well thats what i meant and its not there
[06:34] <orgonurg> Hmm, strange. Didn't see anyone else with issues in the comments section.
[06:34] <|ns|nR8> tony_,  ive had to install nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new on a laptop
[06:34] <sosriqwe> orgonurg, you have a tarball don't you?
[06:34] <dsinnie> /msg ubottu etiquette
[06:34] <bullgard4> The Virtual Network Computing client executable is /usr/bin/vinagre. What is the executable of the Virtual Network Computing server?
[06:34] <orgonurg> Yeah
[06:34] <legend2440> ledmushroom: using hardy?
[06:35] <Kitu> élo
[06:35] <ledmushroom> yes
[06:35] <ledmushroom>  well i upgraded
[06:35] <ledmushroom>  from gutsy
[06:35] <orgonurg> Do I need to convert it to .deb or something to properly install it?
[06:35] <sosriqwe> orgonurg, the related directory is /home/<username>/.icons
[06:35] <orgonurg> Oh, just extract them there?
[06:35] <|ns|nR8> no orgonurg sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[06:36] <sosriqwe> orgonurg, you should extract & copy the content to this directory..
[06:36] <tony_> |ns|nR8, ok ii'll try that thnx
[06:36] <nickolaus> I am trying to extract a cairo clock theme but I can't copy/paste it to the folder. I cut/copy it and then right click on the folder and paste doesn't come up as an option. what do I do?
[06:36] <JbCrash> can i load windows from ubuntu..i mean..while i using linux..can i load win without restart?
[06:36] <jngu1> Anyone know if there is a way to reclaim the sound device from firefox?
[06:36] <sosriqwe> orgonurg, if you still don't see the theme under themes then there most likely is a problem with the theme
[06:37] <|ns|nR8> no JbCrash
[06:37] <JbCrash> ohh ok
[06:37] <JbCrash> thot want do something..kekeke
[06:37] <legend2440> ledmushroom: in terminal type   ifconfig   anything about localhost:4001?
[06:37] <|ns|nR8> you can install windows in Ububegin JbCrash
[06:37] <orgonurg> I don't see the /.icons directory. Do I need to create it or am I still missing something? I'm in /home/<user>/ now.
[06:37] <|ns|nR8> but not run your current installed one
[06:37] <nickolaus> I am trying to extract a cairo clock theme but I can't copy/paste it to the folder. I cut/copy it and then right click on the folder and paste doesn't come up as an option. what do I do?
[06:38] <sosriqwe> orgonurg, if you are using nautilus press Ctrl+H to see the hidden directories
[06:38] <jngu1> Anyone on the sound?
[06:38] <orgonurg> Oh, right. Okay let me try it.
[06:38] <Ububegin> |ns!nr8: were you addressing me...
[06:39] <john_> GAIM closed me out again. I need help. I found this linkslice https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gaim/+question/4562 but in order to remove gaim i must remove ubuntu-desktop which i have no idea what that does
[06:39] <john_> link*
[06:39] <|ns|nR8> sorry Ububegin, i ment to type ubuntu but must of hit tab
[06:39] <orgonurg> That did it, thanks a lot.
[06:39] <|ns|nR8> beer + irc addict
[06:39] <sosriqwe> orgonurg, you'r welcome..
[06:39] <Ububegin> |ns|nR8: :D ... np...
[06:40] <meltingclock> john__: actually, while you were gone I found a link that might help..I do however not have the link on hand at the moment..
[06:40] <ledmushroom> nope
[06:40] <john_> meltingclock: oh damn
[06:40] <meltingclock> john__: but essentially, a few other people had a similar problem. two suggestions were: disable sound in gAIM (I don't know why....) or download an older version of gAIM for your distro
[06:40] <john_> meltingclock: i'll disable sound first
[06:41] <tony_> |ns|nR8, which graphics card did you get workin. i'm using geforce fx 5200go
[06:41] <Eisenhower> can someone help me read encrypted dvds? i've installed the libdvdcss2 and still cant run this movie
[06:41] <meltingclock> alright. I hope one of these things help
[06:41] <|ns|nR8> tony_, that was exact card
[06:41] <john_> meltingclock: disabling sound doesnt work
[06:41] <|ns|nR8> go card in laptop
[06:42] <|ns|nR8> only prob was the decorator in compiz didnt work straight away
[06:42] <john_> meltingclock: i need an older version but i dont really know where to get one. the sourceforge page doesnt seem to have any anymore and oldversion.com is stuipid and only mirrors windows versions
[06:42] <|ns|nR8> but that might have been some other prob
[06:42] <tony_> |ns|nR8, i just removed the nvidia new, and installed just glx. and i press ctrl alt backspace. should that get it to work?
[06:43] <|ns|nR8> um that might work...prolly reboot wouldnt hurt
[06:43] <|ns|nR8> try it
[06:43] <tony_> |ns|nR8, ok
[06:43] <meltingclock> john__: okay... wow, im sure they're ARCHIVED somewhere. but, anyway, you said you can't remove gAIM without removing gnome-desktop??
[06:43] <xTheGoat121x> I need help with changing file permissions of all the files on one of my partitions
[06:43] <trippss> my touchpad on my gateway laptop doesn't work coming out of suspend, but does work coming out of hibernate, EVEN IF it previously didn't work after a suspend. However, restarting X doesn't fix it. Any ideas about what hibernate is doing that I can use for suspend restores?
[06:44] <john_> meltingclock: well it said ubuntu-desktop but it must mean gnome i guess i dont know
[06:44] <jngu1> Does anyone know how to release a sound device from a process manually?
[06:44] <jngu1> tripps probably some module didn't get loaded
[06:44] <jngu1> compare lsmods for when it works and doesn't.
[06:44] <meltingclock> o sorry, ubuntu destop. gotcha.
[06:44] <meltingclock> someone with a little more experience might be able to further help you, but i'm outta ideas
[06:44] <trippss> jngu1, I've done that and there is no difference between both states
[06:44] <meltingclock> sorry
[06:45] <soldats> john_: i believe that when it says it need to remove ubuntu_desktop it just means the meta package for the application you are trying to remove
[06:45] <ToneWhy> can anyone teach me how to setup vsftpd server with a user+passord login?
[06:45] <john_> soldats: is your name named after the game?..........and well is it safe to remove ubuntu-desktop if i'm just going to get it back from reinstalling gaim?
[06:45] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) no longer provide the DEB program package 'vncserver'?
[06:46] <taquitos> is there a cpu-z type program for ubuntu?
[06:46] <bullgard4> taquitos: What do you mean by 'cpu-z type'?
[06:47] <|ns|nR8> bullgard4, usually that means its been replaced with something else
[06:47] <soldats> john_: not from the game but the anime Noir. and it should be fine to allow it to be removed. it wont actually remove the desktop(gnome). its just meta stuff
[06:47] <legend2440> ledmushroom: is anon-proxy installed?
[06:47] <john_> bullgard4: there's a program called cpu-z which monitors sytem info like processor.. etc... it's awesome
