[09:21] <Skaarj> afancy: try folwing : backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... then replace "nvidia" by "nv" in this file and reboot
[09:21] <ActionParsnip1> jlmones: as a user you can open the file and copy the conents
[09:21] <jlmones> how
[09:21] <jlmones> ?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> jlmones: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> jlmones: copy all the text and paste it to a pastebin, then give us the link you go to
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> !paste
[09:22] <Skaarj> afancy: also delting your /etc/X11/corg.conf may help (if this file is missing at startup and failsafe default is generated, but dont forget to backup)
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> Skaarj: rename is better
[09:23] <ActionParsnip1> Skaarj: allows rolling back, there no way back if you delete
[09:23] <Skaarj> i need to create an opensuse-chroot, therefore i need zypper (rpm-package-manager) does someone know an respository which provides zypper for ubuntu/debian ?
[09:23] <vigo> Is Xubuntu an energy saver, i.e. Gnome uses XX.watts and Xfce uses xx.watts?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip1> vigo: xubuntu uses less ram

[09:30] <Skaarj> hi
[09:30] <BABER> what command i have to use for run ssh?
[09:30] <D3ebaby> hey
[09:30] <MrCarlos> hello i want to install quicktime can someone helpme please http://pastebin.com/d5018fdbc
[09:31] <sprinkmeier> BABER, do you want an ssh client or server? the SSH client si simply called "ssh", asl in "ssh user@host"
[09:31] <quibbler> MrCarlos: why do you wish to install quicktime what do you want to do?
[09:31] <Skaarj> BABER: to use ssh as client : ssh username@server ... to use it as server install the sshd package
[09:31] <ActionParsnip1> jlmones: can you put my name at the start of your lines, you see how your name highlights when i address you? thats not an accident
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> jlmones: you can tab complete names
[09:32] <dronix> MeCarlos: u can just install the w32codes and use vlc
[09:32] <dronix> MrCarlos: u can just install the w32codes and use vlc
[09:32] <MrCarlos> quibbler i have a mov file and the system doesnt want to download codec
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: ssh is the command in terminal
[09:32] <MrCarlos> dronix
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: for the client
[09:32] <dronix> ?
[09:33] <BABER> Skaarj: i want connect to a windows system
[09:33] <quibbler> MrCarlos: you can install vlc which plays mov files
[09:33] <MrCarlos> dronix: how can i install the w32codes
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: windows doesnt naturally have an ssd server
[09:33] <carpii> !mediabuntu | MrCarlos

[09:33] <sprinkmeier> BABER, windows systems generally dont run ssh servers. Do you want to run a client (like putty) on the windows box to talk to a linux box?
[09:33] <MrCarlos> quibbler i have vlc and nothing
[09:34] <sprinkmeier> !putty | BABER
[09:34] <jlmones> ok
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> !medibuntu | MrCarlos
[09:34] <BABER> sprinkmeier: yes i want connect to a windows client with ubuntu with ssh command
[09:35] <Mkman> BABER:  you can?
[09:35] <sprinkmeier> BABER, then you need to instal an ssh server on linux and putty on windows. "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" will install a server
[09:35] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: then you will need to instal an ssh service on your windows box t connect to, ##windows can advise there
[09:36] <sprinkmeier> BABER, follow the link ubottu gave above to get putty for windows
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: if you want to connect TO windows FROM linux
[09:36] <Dark> hello
[09:36] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: if you want to use a windows client to connect to an ubunt ssh server then putty is a fine choice
[09:36] <vigo> OpenSSH and there are some others that work in/on windows, openswan does.

[09:39] <sprinkmeier> numskull, some... not claiming to be an expert (that costs double :-)

[09:40] <numskull> sprinkmeier, ahh so an arm for support and an extra leg for liability aye? sound business plan haha
[09:40] <EugenA> hi, how do i install latest vmware server on ubuntu? i cannot build the vmware module
[09:40] <EugenA> ubuntu 8.10
[09:41] <numskull> sprinkmeier, basically this server got dropped of its desk/bench/table
[09:41] <gladiator> hi.. i was installing pear from source.. and i aborted it.. then installed using apt.. and it is still installing it in the directory i was installing it into
[09:41] <numskull> sprinkmeier, and as it does one of the disks died big time. the second disk however seems to be up and going okay
[09:41] <gladiator> tried apt-get purge php-pear. and then install.. but it still installs it in the same directory
[09:42] <gladiator> any clues?
[09:42] <numskull> sprinkmeier, however the one that died is the one that contains the boot sector and nice important stuff like that.
[09:42] <sprinkmeier> numskull, what was the setup? RAID0? RAID1? LVM?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip1> gladiator: reinstalling will always install to the same directory
[09:42] <vigo> gladiator: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man8/apt-get.8.html <<may help
[09:42] <numskull> sprinkmeier, 0
[09:42] <namasamaran> ce_viking
[09:42] <numskull> sprinkmeier, sorry i mean 1
[09:42] <numskull> sprinkmeier, with LVMs :S
[09:43] <afancy> Hi, the problem is still unsoved
[09:43] <ActionParsnip1> gladiator: the package from apt had a directory structure to put data where its needed
[09:43] <vigo> gladiator: That page shows how to fix, clean up, or repair packages
[09:43] <numskull> sprinkmeier, it also has iDisk's with raid0's but they are unimportant until i can get the other system up again
[09:43] <gladiator> vigo, ActionParsinp1: ok.. let me check it out
[09:43] <gladio70> ubuntu-it
[09:44] <afancy> Skaarj: Hi, there? the problem is till unsolved
[09:44] <gladio70> #ubuntu-it
[09:44] <quibbler> gladio70: /join #ubuntu-it
[09:44] <sprinkmeier> numskull, then you;re probably out of luck. RAID0 aka striping sprinkles the data as far and as wide as it can in an effort to improve performance. loosing one disk pretty much means you're hosed.
[09:44] <vigo> gladio70: put a /#
[09:44] <sprinkmeier> numskull, can you dd_rescue any of the dead disk?
[09:44] <ActionParsnip1> sprinkmeier: which is why raid0 isnt really raid
[09:44] <ActionParsnip1> numskull: got backup?
[09:44] <numskull> sprinkmeier, its no 0
[09:45] <numskull> sprinkmeier, i got it wrong first time its 1
[09:45] <numskull> sprinkmeier, so we are okay ish
[09:45] <afancy> Skaarj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132371/
[09:45] <Skaarj> afancy: i am trying to get zypper by using alien, but i does wor because zypper is a very complex software , so im open for more advice
[09:45] <gladiator> vigo: thats a man page for apt... i already tried apt-get purge package-name
[09:45] <numskull> sprinkmeier, the drive is okay haven't been able to mount the LVM partition
[09:45] <numskull> sprinkmeier, as in i haven't tried
[09:46] <sprinkmeier> numskull, Can you re-create the software RAID set?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> numskull: sure, dd the data from one drive to another and you're fine. your array should rebuild itself if its hard raid rather than garbage onboard
[09:46] <ActionParsnip1> numskull: you'll need to replace the disk
[09:46] <numskull> ActionParsnip1, yeah i have backup
[09:46] <vigo> gladiator: That one also shows about resume, repair and update sources list, and much more in the manual!
[09:46] <BABER> Skaarj: i installed ssh-server now i type ssh localhost  when enter root password this error appear the permision denied why?
[09:46] <numskull> ActionParsnip1, replacements aren't a problem
[09:47] <Skaarj> afancy: i dont know enough to help you further , youll have to find someone else
[09:47] <numskull> ActionParsnip1, restore from backup isn't possible at the moment
[09:47] <sprinkmeier> numskull, if you have a recent backup then just re-create the RAID/LVM array the way you want it and restore... (make sure you keep that second working disk though, just in case the backup isn't as recent as you thought or the restore fails :-)
[09:47] <Skaarj> BABER: root is disabled under ubuntu ...  ty the name of an useraccount
[09:47] <sprinkmeier> BABER, ssh denies root logon by default. log on as a normal user and sudo if you have to.
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: when you connect, log in as you
[09:47] <numskull> sprinkmeier, big issue is that the guy who knows about the backups is currently on a plane to LA from NZ
[09:48] <AndrFr> hi all
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: loggin in as root over ssh is a really bad idea anyways
[09:48] <Appocc> hi
[09:48] <afancy> Hi, my X-server cannot start after i have installed a software last night. when the xserver start, it was hanged there for waiting. I have check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it said "Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatiable NVIDIA X dirver not found)", Could anybody tell me how to fix this problem? thanks in advanced!!
[09:48] <sprinkmeier> numskull, in that case, image the remaining disk before you do ANYTHING else. just in case....
[09:48] <afancy> This is my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/132371/
[09:48] <Appocc> can anybody help me??
[09:48] <AndrFr> is there any good howto that can help me conect a linux machine to a ebox domain (trough winbind)?
[09:48] <numskull> sprinkmeier, the remaining disk can boot somewhat
[09:49] <sprinkmeier> numskull, then try to re-create the software-RAID disk-set. ONce that's done an vlm-scan should find the LVM stuff which should then be mountable again (give or take an fsck)
[09:49] <Appocc> my internet connection is intermitent... sometimes it works. so it.. by itself
[09:49] <numskull> sprinkmeier, i gave it an mbr and pointed it at the disk
[09:49] <numskull> sprinkmeier, but...
[09:49] <Appocc> so it stops.. but i keep connected
[09:49] <numskull> sprinkmeier, it drops me into a busybox terminal before getting to logon prompt
[09:49] <ramavadakattu> Newbie : Can any one please suggest me good editor other than vi? iam struggling with   vi.
[09:49] <Appocc> but my firefox cant open anything.. so i wait a little and it came back
[09:50] <urbinek> hi
[09:50] <ActionParsnip1> numskull: if you bang in a replacement and boot to live cd, you can dd the data to create an extra raid disk
[09:50] <Appocc> hi
[09:50] <numskull> sprinkmeier, i'm starting to think that restore from backup is where i'm gonna go but i have come here as a last ditch effort
[09:50] <sprinkmeier> numskull, IMAGE THE DISK! Whatever you do, you want to make sure you don't make things worse. If anything fails, if a dd goes the wrong way, if the RAID1 repllicates the wrong way or whatever the last thing you want to do is loose the only good copy of the data you currently have available.
[09:50] <Appocc> can anybody help me plz???
[09:50] <urbinek> Appocc: ?
[09:50] <sprinkmeier> numskull, nusybox sounds like it cant find all of itself. Either do a restore or install a fresh ubuntu system and try to mount the old disks from it.
[09:51] <DJones> !editors | ramavadakattu
[09:51] <urbinek> Where i can find which line in MBMON shows which temp ?
[09:51] <ActionParsnip1> Appocc: if you ping <IP_ADDRESS> and watch, do you drop pakets
[09:51] <numskull> sprinkmeier, yes backups are available.
[09:51] <AndrFr> i need help connecting a ubuntu linux workstation to an ebox domain, but i need that the linux works with pam_winbind because i have some workstations restriction in samba that i want to enforce. does anyone can help me?
[09:51] <numskull> sprinkmeier, okay
[09:51] <ActionParsnip1> ramavadakattu: if you want terminal based editors, nano is decent
[09:52] <ramavadakattu> yes iam actually looking for terminal based editors
[09:53] <gladiator> vigo: i'm still lost. is there a way to clear preferences for a particular packgae?
[09:53] <ramavadakattu> Thanks  will check out nano (apt-get install nano)
[09:53] <urbinek> ramavadakattu: try nano
[09:53] <Skaarj> ramavadakattu: nano, pico , ee are simple editors for console ; vim , joe and emacs are more advanced ones
[09:53] <urbinek> gladiator: apt-get -f remove --purge package
[09:53] <maxagaz> how to look for a file which is in the current directory recursively ?
[09:53] <ramavadakattu> Skaarj;  ok .
[09:53] <maxagaz> (using CLI)
[09:54] <urbinek> ramavadakattu: mc have good editor
[09:54] <urbinek> dog*
[09:54] <urbinek> god*
[09:54] <sprinkmeier> maxagaz, use "find . -name WILDCARD -ls"
[09:54] <vigo> gladiator: Yes, let me look again.
[09:55] <pozic> maxagaz: if it is in the current directory, it's not recursively. You probably meant to say _below_ the current directory.
[09:55] <ramavadakattu> urbinek : thanks wil check it out.Actually i need only terminal based editors
[09:55] <maxagaz> pozic, yes
[09:55] <ramavadakattu> to edit files in my remote server
[09:55] <dan-ubuntu> morning all
[09:55] <maxagaz> sprinkmeier, thansk
[09:55] <gladiator> urbinek: that doesnt seem to work.
[09:55] <maxagaz> sprinkmeier, thanks
[09:56] <maxagaz> sprinkmeier, what if i don't know the exact name of the file ?
[09:56] <AndrFr> is there any good how to about mouting a samba PDC (with a ldap backend) and connect linux machines trough winbind?
[09:56] <vigo> gladiator: This one, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man5/apt_preferences.5.html
[09:59] <jscinoz> How do i specify for a job to run every 4hours instead of at a certain time in crontab?
[10:00] <sprinkmeier> jscinoz, you mean run it, wait 4 hours, run it again?
[10:00] <jscinoz> yes
[10:00] <jscinoz> i know theres a way to do it, i think it involves the @ symbol
[10:00] <jscinoz> cant remember though
[10:01] <mini_ulaelable> can more than one person ssh into a server at one time
[10:01] <sprinkmeier> jscinoz, crontab can't really do that (unless you frequently run a job to check if the previous run finished 4 hours ago.... ugly!)
[10:01] <jscinoz> sprinkmeier: i could have sworn there was a way
[10:02] <Faithful> mini_ulaelable, as many as you have bandwidth for... 1000s
[10:02] <sprinkmeier> maxagaz, use wildcards, i.e. "find . -iname \*.doc -ls" will find any file endinf in .doc, .Doc, .DOC, .dOc.......
[10:02] <Boohbah> * 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /usr/bin/something
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> jscinoz: crom maybe
[10:02] <mini_ulaelable> thanks
[10:02] <dan-ubuntu> hey all, does anyone know how i can get true transparency in xchat?
[10:02] <sprinkmeier> jscinoz, Boohbah "* */4 * * * ...." should do the same thing
[10:03] <Boohbah> it should
[10:03] <jscinoz> Boohbah: , sprinkmeier thanks
[10:03] <dan-ubuntu> anyone? xchat true transparency?
[10:04] <Appocc> hey
[10:04] <dan-ubuntu> hey Appocc
[10:04] <Appocc> can anyone tell me ow i restart the sound servr???
[10:04] <Appocc> dan-ubuntu, hi man
[10:04] <urbinek> alt+crt+backspace
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> Appocc: do you use alsa or pulse
[10:04] <sprinkmeier> jscinoz, Boohbah oops... come to think of it, that will start the job every minute of every 4-th hour :-) use "42 */4 * * * ....."
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> urbinek: that restarts x server, not sound
[10:05] <jscinoz> sprinkmeier: oh ok thanks
[10:05] <timahvo1> ActionParsnip1: Nalf boots ok now but still had to manually edit the kernel and initrd lines in menu.lst
[10:05] <durt> now I know why C-A-B is getting removed in Jaunty : )
[10:05] <afancy> Hi, my X-server cannot start after i have installed a software last night. when the xserver start, it was hanged there for waiting. I have check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it said "Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatiable NVIDIA X dirver not found)", Could anybody tell me how to fix this problem? thanks in advanced!! This is my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/132371/
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> timahvo1: change default in /boot/grub/menu.list
[10:06] <timahvo1> ActionParsnip1: yes done that too . thanks
[10:06] <jscinoz> afancy: was the software you installed the nvidia driver?
[10:06] <jscinoz> and afancy if so did you install it from nvidias binary installer or from apt?
[10:06] <afancy> jscinoz: no
[10:07] <afancy> jscinoz: i install gnuplot CSV version
[10:07] <afancy> jscinoz: then it require many other package, so i installed them
[10:07] <Appocc> hey man
[10:07] <jscinoz> afancy: that likely wasnt the cause, that error shows your nvidia driver isnt properly installed for your current kernel
[10:07] <Appocc> that comand just restarted my xserver
[10:07] <Appocc> i want to restart my sound server
[10:07] <jscinoz> afancy: when you installed the nvidia driver originally did you install it via synaptic? or with the thing form nvidias website
[10:07] <Appocc> my sound used to work..
[10:07] <durt> Appiah, no kidding do a man alsa for the force restart command
[10:08] <durt> I mean Appocc
[10:08] <dan-ubuntu> Appocc, you want to go to system monitor and restart pulseaudio
[10:08] <Appocc> it just stoped.. i dun know whats happening.. could aybody help me??
[10:08] <afancy> jscinoz:nvidas? i installed it long time ago
[10:08] <Appocc> ok
[10:08] <Appocc> ill try
[10:08] <jscinoz> afancy: yes and that error shows that you need to reinstall it
[10:09] <JabberWokky> Okay, this is driving me nuts.  Symlinks to directories on manually mounted drives are disappearing randomly since 8.10.  Possibly some kind of daemon watching mounts?
[10:09] <Appocc> dan-ubuntu, could u tell me where i can access system monitor??
[10:09] <dan-ubuntu> alt-f2
[10:09] <dan-ubuntu> system m
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: they should remain but be broken
[10:10] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: Why would they be broken?  The drive is still connected.
[10:10] <gladiator> vigo: those are version controll preferences mostly... didnt come across anything interesting... thanks anyways
[10:10] <dan-ubuntu> oh, wait, that doesnt work for sys mon
[10:10] <Kartagis> using GNOME, is there a way to connect to the root folder of a samba server?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: are you using ln -s /path/to/folder  to create the link?
[10:10] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: I have 28 years of *nix experience.  This is not a "I don't understand the filesystem" problem.
[10:10] <Appocc> dan-ubuntu, that command is not working.. are u sure... system m???
[10:10] <afancy> jscinoz: ok
[10:10] <dan-ubuntu> system>>>admin>>>sys mon
[10:10] <jscinoz> afancy: did you get it reinstalled?
[10:11] <ganu> is there any gui tool for compiling the driver source of a kerenl
[10:11] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: The symlinks are being deleted by some process, often while the drive still has files open.
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: a hard link would vanish when the device was unmounted, ln -s would create a softlink and would stay
[10:11] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: sounds like a bug
[10:11] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: I know that.  I am very familiar with ln.
[10:11] <dan-ubuntu> got it appocc?
[10:11] <howtoo> somebody know of a ubuntu 8.10 repos with monodevelop 2 beta 2 packages?
[10:12] <Appocc> dan-ubuntu, ok. im here.. what i need to do now??
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: a process watching the whole drive like that sounds a little unnecessary to me so i cant see it being implemented
[10:12] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: It appeared right after I (fairly recently) upgraded my desktop to 8.10.  Something is "helpfully" cleaning up links, is my guess...
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> not that ive personally know of, maybe someone else can chime in
[10:13] <Kartagis> using GNOME, is there a way to connect to the root folder of a samba server rather than the share?
[10:13] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: Yeah, I thought that too.  I just can't think of anything else that might be doing this.  A sshfs mountpoint is doing the game.
[10:13] <afancy> jscinoz:  Could you tell me which one should i installed?
[10:13] <Appocc> can i reinstall pulseaudio???
[10:13] <dan-ubuntu> yes
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: no, onl the shares are visible to the system
[10:13] <dan-ubuntu> wait
[10:13] <Appocc> how can i do it?
[10:13] <dan-ubuntu> why, do you want to do that?
[10:13] <jscinoz> afancy: what is your graphics card?
[10:13] <Appocc> cause my sound was working and its not anymore
[10:14] <dan-ubuntu> did you restart it?
[10:14] <Appocc> no..i just closed it
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: if the system is a windows box, then ALL partitions are shared with a $ after the partition letter
[10:14] <Appocc> i dun kow how to open it again lol
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: so you can in that instance
[10:14] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: s/doing the game/doing the same.
[10:14] <durt> Appocc, try a 'sudo alsa force-reload' if that doesn't work it should give you error messages.
[10:15] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: i'd log a bug or see if this is a new "feature"
[10:15] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip1, but shouldn't I be able to? because I can do that using windows
[10:15] <ramavadakattu> Any hint on how to fix this error? svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale  svn: warning: environment variable LANG is en_US.UTF-8 svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct
[10:15] <_infidel> is there something in ubuntu similar to the "usbmodules" command?

[10:16] <ManateeLazyCat> I use 8.10 with Alternate CD, and use DHCP, but Ubuntu can't connect, always "unreasonable", it make me crazy, Debian haven't thise problem. Any help?
[10:16] <ManateeLazyCat> And strange is Ubuntu can connect interect when i first install it.
[10:16] <ManateeLazyCat> It can't connect after i updated.
[10:16] <ActionParsnip1> Kartagis: no, because ubuntu is not windows
[10:17] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: Thanks for trying to assist anyway; it's just hard to search for, as people are constantly asking "why don't links in /dev survive a reboot?" and being responded to, so it's hard to find a good search term for my issue.  :)
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: do hard links stay?
[10:17] <afancy> jscinoz:  it is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M
[10:17] <JabberWokky> ActionParsnip1: Can't hardlink across mountpoints.
[10:17] <jscinoz> afancy: and when you installed the nvidia driver the first time which one did you install??
[10:17] <jscinoz> ?*

[10:17] <ManateeLazyCat> Looks DNS wrong with Ubuntu 8.10, how to fix?
[10:17] <ActionParsnip1> JabberWokky: bah
[10:18] <ActionParsnip1> ManateeLazyCat: add some dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf
[10:18] <afancy> jscinoz: i cannot remember, i think i in stalled  it by systamtic
[10:19] <jscinoz> afancy: can you do 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-legacy'
[10:19] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: I did it, setup static ip, and add "<IP_ADDRESS>" to dns in /etc/resolv.conf just can connect when i setup, it will failed when i restart system.
[10:19] <_infidel> the "usbmodules" command is a way to determine which modules are required for a particular device. Is there something similar in ubuntu?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> ManateeLazyCat: did you add it in the correct synatax
[10:19] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: how can find ports?
[10:19] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: I don't know why Ubuntu 8.10 can't work like Debian, i have two machine, one is Debian, one is Ubuntu 8.10
[10:19] <afancy> jscinoz: i think so, but when i go into the recovery mode, how can it enable the network connection in command line?
[10:19] <durt> Appocc, hmm, don't think that's got any thing to do with alsa or pulseaudio.
[10:20] <dan-ubuntu> anyone know how to configure an apple bluetooth wireless aluminum keyboard with 8.10? i keep getting 'pairing failed'
[10:20] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: Yep, after i add it, it can work, but failed when i reboot.
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> ManateeLazyCat: you need to add the word 'nameserver' to the beginning of it
[10:20] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: Yep, i did
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: ports of what, can you expand on your vague question
[10:20] <jimijix> hi, currently i'm dual-booting ubuntu and vista using grub; i'm going to install windows xp how do i do it? just install it?
[10:21] <phuzion> I'm listening to a stream online, and the flash container is REALLY crappy, is there a way to find the direct stream URL I can throw into VLC or something?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> jimijix: install it but you will need to reinstall grub if you are installing to the same disk that has grub on
[10:21] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: ports that are opened or i have used them
[10:21] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: First is setup static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, and remove "inet dhcp", and add "namesever <IP_ADDRESS>" in /etc/resolv.conf
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: netstat -a
[10:21] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: But now it can't work again.
[10:21] <JabberWokky> phuzion: There are some Firefox addons, but you can also use "ngrep GET |grep -A5 flv" at the commandline.
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> ManateeLazyCat: you need to have inet <interface name here> static
[10:22] <ActionParsnip1> ManateeLazyCat: can you pastebin your interfaces file please
[10:22] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: Ok
[10:22] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: for example how can understand pidgin is use from which port?
[10:22] <emretemp> well found a bug, if you place gnome-panel at the right of the screen, windows list applet crashes if you open smt like 10 windows. it somehow couldnt use the space and expand itself.
[10:22] <dan-ubuntu> apple aluminium bluetooth keyboard with ubuntu anyone?
[10:22] <jimijix> ActionParnsip1: thanks, I have ubuntu and vista on the first disk, i'm going to install windows xp on the second; do i still need to install grub?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip1> BABER: netstat -a | grep pidgin
[10:22] <emretemp> well found a bug, if you place gnome-panel at the right of the screen, windows list applet crashes if you open smt like 10 windows. it somehow couldnt use the space and expand itself.  if you place gnome-panel at the top or at the bottom this does not happen and eveything works fine.
[10:23] <JabberWokky> phuzion: You'll be looking directly at the browser <-> server chatter, so you need to be able to read it.  If it's too confusing, try a plugin.
[10:23] <ActionParsnip1> jimijix: no, just add an entry into grub to load up the new OS on the other disk
[10:23] <jimijix> ActionParsnip1: so i just install xp, then add the entry in grub?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> jimijix: pretty much, yes
[10:24] <jimijix> ActionPrsnip1: thanks buddy :-)
[10:24] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: noting do
[10:24]  * ManateeLazyCat pasted "/etc/network/interfaces" at http://paste2.org/get/166165
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> jimijix: a boot sector will be written to the other didk so grub will be untouched
[10:24] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: See above at http://paste2.org/get/166165
[10:24] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: i typed netstat -a | grep pidgin

[10:32] <ActionParsnip1> Mkman: theres also vmware which isnt open source but is another solution
[10:32] <chronographer> there is free vmware right?
[10:32] <ManateeLazyCat> ActionParsnip1: Ubuntu is so great, but can't connect is so bad. It make me crazy.
[10:32] <chronographer> virtualbox isn't all free I understand
[10:32] <ActionParsnip1> ManateeLazyCat: if you add a few of those IPs as nameservers in resolv.conf, you will be able to browse the web
[10:32] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: thi is my netd=stat -a output how can understand pidgin which of these ?    http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=4jabp

[10:34] <chronographer> I mean the Ubuntu OSE of virtualbox
[10:34] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: there isnt a non-open source version
[10:35] <ManateeLazyCat> Mkman: Before is use Alternate CD, i use Live CD install Ubuntu 8.10, and install network-manager, network is faild, then i use Alternate CD, and not install network-manager, also failed.
[10:35] <BABER> ActionParsnip1: can u help me?
[10:35] <chronographer> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions  <- there is a closed source edition
[10:35] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: The full VirtualBox package comes under a proprietary Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL), which allows using the software free of charge for personal and educational use and evaluation of the product.[10] Licenses for commercial deployment of the full VirtualBox package can be purchased from Sun, although commercial use by individuals within a company is covered by the free PUEL.[11]
[10:35] <koshari> chronographer the OSe ov vbox is only available as 1.6 compiled.
[10:35] <Mkman> ManateeLazyCat: use OpenSuse is great to
[10:36] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: you worded your first statement badly to imply an Ubuntu non OSE

[10:37] <chronographer> yeah. I use the online one (not really sure why!)

[10:38] <chronographer> well. I have decided that LVM and RAID is too hard for me. Will stick with good, old fashioned partitions.
[10:38] <Nappe> #ubuntu.se
[10:38] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: get a proper raid card and its done in te controller, the OS will only see 1 partition
[10:38] <Myrtti> Nappe: skriv /join #ubuntu-se heller ;-)
[10:38] <Mkman> any portuguese in hear?
[10:38] <chronographer> expensive though right?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: not at all
[10:39] <nate[oz]> Anyone have experience with this error: [Errno 5] Input/output error ????
[10:39] <koshari> chronographer personally i cant see the point of software raid
[10:39] <chronographer> nate[oz]: from what?
[10:39] <nate[oz]> from installing 8.10 desktop 64bit
[10:39] <chronographer> koshari: software LVM seems very useful though
[10:39] <nate[oz]> running from live cd
[10:39] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SBT-SRD4&cat=CCD 17 USD
[10:39] <chronographer> I mean LVm seems useful though

[10:40] <ActionParsnip1> chronographer: onboard raid controllers are garbage
[10:40] <nate[oz]> partitions get built, files start copying and it stops at 66% and gives this error
[10:40] <afancy> Hi, how to enable the network connection under command line in Recovery Mode? as my X-Server is broken i need to fix it. thanks
[10:40] <koshari> chronographer software lvm is good if you want a large volume from small drives, hardware raid gives you all the redundncy enterprise demands
[10:40] <nate[oz]> same error this guy got: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 <- but none of the solutions in here work for me
[10:40] <koshari> nate[oz] have you checked your media
[10:41] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: type ifconfig   if you have an ip you are good to go
[10:41] <chronographer> I just want expandable partitions for movies etc.
[10:41] <nate[oz]> yea, tried 2 different cds, a dvd and a usb stick
[10:41] <nate[oz]> all the same
[10:41] <nate[oz]> tried different ram even
[10:41] <afancy> ActionParsnip1: i have type ifconfig but it doesnt work
[10:41] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: is that your initial post?
[10:41] <nate[oz]> nah, someone else with same problem
[10:41] <nate[oz]> i've tried everything in that thread though
[10:42] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: try /sbin/ifconfig
[10:42] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: did you md5 check your iso as well as verify the cd was ok once burned and booted to?
[10:42] <chronographer> nate[oz]: HDD full?
[10:43] <afancy> ActionParsnip1: i dont mean there is no ifconfig, but i have run this command it still doesnot enable the network
[10:43] <nate[oz]> nah, completely empty, 500GB
[10:43] <nate[oz]> ActionParsnip1: haven't done the md5 check yet, but downloaded from official website 2 different times on 2 different cds
[10:44] <chronographer> if you downloaded with torrent, you can check the integrity of the file... or use md5 check suggested above
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: ifconfig doesnt enable the network. Its to see if its already up and running with an ip address
[10:44] <nate[oz]> nah, right from ubuntu.com
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: doesnt matter
[10:44] <ganu> is there any gui tool for compiling the driver source of a kerenl
[10:44] <ysis> Hi. I want to install Ubuntu Intrepid with a normal install CD from an IDE CD-ROM drive, but when I select anything from the star-up menu I find myself in this BusyBox shell and get errors like 'scsi 0:0:2:0: timing out command, waited 22s'.
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: you could pull it down a million times and never get a good image
[10:44] <afancy> ActionParsnip1: no, it doens up
[10:45] <_infidel> the "usbmodules" command is a way to determine which modules are required for a particular device. Is there something similar in ubuntu? Anybody? Thanx in advance
[10:45] <nate[oz]> worth a shot, I've read many people with the same problem doing md5 checks and it coming out good... only reason I haven't tried it
[10:45] <nate[oz]> coming out good = md5 check is a success
[10:45] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as check the cds are ok. Once we know its not those at fault you can progress, if you have bad disks in your hands you will have a tonne of issues due to incorrect data on the disks
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: try sudo ifup <network device name>
[10:46] <nate[oz]> I've tried usb stick also, and dvd... so if md5 checks out I'm running out of options
[10:46] <nate[oz]> brb
[10:46] <nate[oz]> will check
[10:47] <chronographer> nate[oz]: md5 check your ISO
[10:47] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: you shouold have checked it as soon as you downloaded it
[10:47] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: before you did anything
[10:47] <afancy> ActionParsnip1: i have tried, but there is no network device name
[10:48] <chronographer> afancy: what does ifconfig return?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: then you need to find out what you have
[10:48] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: try: sudo lshw -C network
[10:49] <ActionParsnip1> afancy: you need to find where ifconfig is lying so you can configure / probe your hardware

[10:51] <Kartagis> how do I check if I use jack or not?
[10:52] <gladiator> hi... i have a problem.. when i ping any domain that does not exist.... it pings to a host in my /etc/hosts file
[10:52] <Kartagis> fliegenderfrosch, diff can do that
[10:52] <fliegenderfrosch> Kartagis: do you know the relevant options?
[10:53] <chiiiiiz> hi!!
[10:53] <Kartagis> fliegenderfrosch, no, man diff
[10:53] <chiiiiiz> problem with ATI and dual screen.
[10:53] <Kartagis> !hi | chiiiiiz
[10:53] <fliegenderfrosch> Kartagis: ok, i’ll look again, i’ve already had a quick look and haven’t seen anything
[10:53] <ysis> Any ideas regarding my problem?
[10:54] <chiiiiiz> I have installed the latest version of catalyst, and with the control  center, I have configured the dual screen: extended desktop overlay.
[10:54] <chiiiiiz> I wanted to have 2 different desktop, and tried Xinerama: catastrophic!!!
[10:55] <chiiiiiz> since then, I can't go back to my working config. I have tried "sudo aticonfig --initial", and "sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --desktop-setup=clone" and it does not work
[10:55] <Mkman> Debian is hard work?
[10:56] <nate[oz]> ActionParsnip1: you were right, md5 was incorrect, cheers for the time and effort
[10:56] <chiiiiiz> I have 2 screens, the mouse goes from one to the other (as if I still had an overlay), but the computer looks to be thinking, and does not show my toolbars...
[10:56] <chiiiiiz> any idea?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: i will reitterate
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: ALWAYS check MD%
[10:57] <nate[oz]> ja
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: ive seen a tonne of users coming in moaning about bad installs and its nearly always MD5
[10:58] <nate[oz]> I guess I made the assumption the iso was alright being that I *thought* I'd used it in a vm install... which worked fine
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: if you download ANY large image file and there is an MD5, get that too and check what you have
[10:58] <nate[oz]> guess it must have been a different iso
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> nate[oz]: then check the disk is consistant on the first boot screen to check the burn succeeded
[10:58] <funkyHat> Or download using bittorrent which will check the file is good for you
[10:58] <nate[oz]> ja
[10:58] <nate[oz]> torrents are always slow fo rme
[10:58] <gladiator> why would ping resolve to a host in /etc/hosts file when the domain does not exist?
[10:58] <nate[oz]> i get a good 1MB/sec off my isp mirrors
[10:59] <nate[oz]> just have to wait until offpeak
[10:59] <Kartagis> how do I check if I use jack or not?
[11:00] <kelli> hi all
[11:00] <gladiator> !jack
[11:00] <durt> Kartagis, ps -A | grep jack
[11:00] <chiiiiiz> another question: I need to set up a FTP server with quite some security. Do I need Debian, or can ubuntu server be my best friend on this?
[11:00] <nate[oz]> again, thanks for the help ActionParsnip1, will heed your advice in future ;)
[11:00] <kelli> what program can i use to wipe a disc clean-totally?
[11:01] <rickard> I have unaliased fonts in FF3... I have changed the option in Apperance configuration without results.. please help me..
[11:01] <ramavadakattu> HOw to make symlink to point to contents of directory instead directory?
[11:01] <funkyHat> kelli: shred. be VERY careful that you're shredding the right device though
[11:02] <kelli> funkyHat, how do i getit
[11:02] <peppo> what's the lowdown on Jaunty and ATI graphics? have ATI released drivers for XOrg 1.6?
[11:02] <funkyHat> kelli: It's already installed
[11:03] <ramavadakattu> For ex:  ln -s /home/pinaxsnetwork/site_media   /var/www/site_media  , here /var/www/site_media should point to  /home/pinaxsntwork/site_media contents instead of site_media directory
[11:03] <dan-ubuntu> how do i make an apple remote work with a macbook 3.1 in ubuntu 8.10?
[11:03] <kelli> funkyHat, i'm new to this but i need help
[11:03] <funkyHat> kelli: actually, are you wiping a disc because you want to protect sensitive data, or do you just want to reinstall your OS?
[11:04] <kelli> funkyHat, data
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> dan-ubuntu: run lsusb; lspci
[11:05] <kelli> funkyHat,  cant find it
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> dan-ubuntu: one line will ientify the hardware if its detected
[11:06] <funkyHat> kelli: ok. shred is a command-line application, it writes over files you tell it with random sequences of data, and then optionally blanks it all at the end as well, it takes quite a long time for big files, and is probably completely unnecessary if your data is on a flash device
[11:06] <funkyHat> kelli: also if it is a flash device writing to it lots of times isn't such a good idea anywya
[11:06] <funkyHat> *anyway
[11:06] <ubd> cant i install ubuntu on fat
[11:07] <funkyHat> ubd: very bad idea
[11:07] <ubd> is that an answer ^^
[11:08] <koshari> ubd i would suspect you would have permissian problems to begin with
[11:08] <funkyHat> ubd: fat can't have file ownerships or permissions, so it wouldn't boot properly
[11:08] <ubd> alright
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> ubd: are you wanting to instal ubuntu on usb by any chance?
[11:09] <ubd> this is an usb drive: i want downloaded torrents to be on fat.
[11:09] <ActionParsnip1> ubd: then create a seperate partition for torrent data
[11:09] <cylux> Hey guys, I have an internal sata partition that is mounted automatically at boot. What option do I need to add to my fstab so that my regular user can have read and write privledges?
[11:09] <ubd> whats the minimum space for ubuntu apche samba
[11:09] <ubd> xubuntu actually
[11:09] <luuik> hi there. Where can i find documentation with regards to the config of the various ubuntu server kernel packages? (specifically linux-image-2.6.27-??-server ?
[11:10] <koshari> ubd you could go guiless for apache and samba
[11:10] <ubd> 10 gb is enuf?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> ubd: 2Gb or thereabout is my guess, depends if you strip the other apps out of xubuntu
[11:10] <durt> cylux, change ro (read only ) to rw (read write)
[11:10] <ubd> koshari: can i install base only?
[11:10] <koshari> ubd or you could use flux thats lighter than xfce
[11:10] <erUSUL> luuik: which config? kernel config can be checked at /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> ubd: i run a full install with a decent rack of apps off a 5Gb / partition
[11:11] <koshari> ubd you sure can
[11:11] <ubd> how?
[11:11] <koshari> !minimal
[11:11] <zamba> is ubuntu able to resize the running partition?
[11:11] <cylux> durt: THanks, how do I make the changes take effect without restarting?
[11:11] <ubd> i have the whole xubuntu cd - cant i install base with this?
[11:12] <erUSUL> zamba: no; mounted partitions can not be edited... use a livecd if you want to do such a thing
[11:12] <ubd> there may be an option at startup?
[11:12] <ubd> is there
[11:12] <luuik> erUSUL: yep, thats the config. I'm trying to find a package version with a particular set of options disabled. I could do it manually, but i'd prefer not to have to customise the kernel for this installation.
[11:12] <koshari> ubd you could install then prune back unneded packages,
[11:12] <Mba7eth> guys .... if a process is running in bg by another terminal... can i run it in fg in my current terminal .... ?????
[11:12] <ubd> i see ok
[11:12] <durt> cylux, unmount (umount) the device and remount (mount -a) it.
[11:12] <cylux> durt: Thanks.
[11:12] <erUSUL> luuik: i'm afraid you will have to. there is only one version of the server kernel afaics
[11:13] <durt> cylux, perms might need to be changed in user/group attributes tho.
[11:13] <luuik> erUSUL, mmm. unfortunate. thanks :)
[11:13] <erUSUL> luuik: no problem
[11:13] <cylux> durt: It's not letting me mount it, says I still need to be root
[11:14] <gladio70> #ubuntu-it
[11:14] <durt> cylux, to mount 'sudo mount -a'
[11:14] <Mba7eth> guys .... if a process is running in bg by another terminal... can i run it in fg in my current terminal .... ?????
[11:14] <lili> hi
[11:15] <ubd> is there no root acc ?!
[11:15] <cylux> durt: Okay, still don't have rw privledges.
[11:15] <Mba7eth> lili: hi
[11:15] <ubd> omfg
[11:15] <luuik> Mba7eth, don't think so. if you want to do that kind of thing, you should look at the application called "screen"
[11:15] <erUSUL> !root | ubd
[11:15] <koshari> ubd no you use sudo for root functions
[11:15] <ubd> why would i use sudo?
[11:16] <ubd> thats gay - no offense
[11:16] <sajuuk_> hey guys what package is it to get german language to function on my system
[11:16] <koshari> ubd to perform root functions
[11:17] <ubd> this pc is going to be remotely managed...
[11:17] <ubd> whatever
[11:17] <koshari> ubd use ssh
[11:17] <ubd> ssh with sudo
[11:17] <koshari> ubd if you need to perform a root function
[11:18] <zamba> erUSUL: and then i have to resize the fs as well.. is this doable?
[11:18] <cylux> Hey guys, I have an internal sata partition that is mounted automatically at boot. What option do I need to add to my fstab so that my regular user can have read and write privledges?
[11:18] <zamba> erUSUL: .. if i use the live-cd, i mean
[11:18] <mysticdarkhack> sajuuk, tried going to system, adminitration and language support
[11:18] <sajuuk_> mysticdarkhack, i will do that
[11:18] <erUSUL> zamba: gparted should be able to do both things without problems
[11:18] <durt> cylux, what device is this your main install partition?
[11:18] <zamba> erUSUL: ok, cool
[11:19] <erUSUL> zamba: but messing with partitions is allways risky bussiness backup anything important
[11:19] <koshari> cylux use the same settings as your root partition in fstab
[11:19] <cylux> durt: Nope. Seperate
[11:20] <durt> cylux, add a 'rw,' in front of relatime
[11:21] <cylux> durt: Alright
[11:21] <sajuuk_> thx mysticdarkhack that was the solution :)
[11:21] <sajuuk_> good night all
[11:21] <peppo> anyone on Jaunty with mobile ATI graphics? any workarounds?
[11:21] <durt> cylux, 'sudo umount /dev/<the_device>' then 'sudo mount -a'
[11:21] <mysticdarkhack> sajuuk, np and yw
[11:22] <cylux> durt: Still no rw privledges.
[11:24] <durt> cylux, you probably need to give the user permission to use the directory. Easy to do with 'sudo nautilus' or whatever file-manager you use.
[11:24] <mysticdarkhack> sa, what do yall think of the new jaunty gdm theme?
[11:24] <durt> cylux, just be carefull what you do running nautilus as root.
[11:25] <bazhang> !gksudo
[11:25] <oCean_> mysticdarkhack: peppo: jaunty discussions/issues in #ubuntu+1
[11:25] <dusopn> good morning all

[11:26] <jelly12gen> good afternon dude
[11:26] <dusopn> what is the best app to encrypt whole drive / filesystem under linux
[11:26] <weatherkid> Hey every now and then Ubuntu forces my Wi-Fi card to shut down but then the kernel now start detecting it but I want to know if yall can give me a patch or something
[11:26] <dusopn> truecrypt doesnt support whole drive
[11:27] <weatherkid> I'm posting the system logs and ls***'s on Pastebin now
[11:27] <mysticdarkhack> seem like we all in difference time zone
[11:27] <cylux> durt: So what option exactly do I need to change?
[11:27] <dusopn> weatherkid: it is restaritng?
[11:28] <dusopn> yea im in uk at the moment
[11:28] <dusopn> we have suuun :))
[11:28] <dusopn> delicious
[11:28] <dusopn> so anybody about encryption?
[11:28] <cylux> durt: If I try to change the permissions it just defaults to root
[11:28] <weatherkid> dusopn: nope
[11:29] <user296> hi all, is there a simple way to login to my school windows network from my ubuntu machine? all I want is to use the internet from the ubuntu box. I plugged in the network cable and tried to connect to eth0 but it doesn't connect
[11:29] <ActionParsnip1> dusopn: its a bit overcast here in leeds, where you at?
[11:29] <dusopn> exeter
[11:29] <oCean_> cylux: what did you use as mount options? Currently? Using "defaults" should be enough to let you change the permissions
[11:30] <zeno> hi i have a window that says launching knotify, is invisible and wont go away
[11:30] <dusopn> ActionParsnip1: but i was in london and weather up there is way more steady i think
[11:30] <cylux> oCean_: http://nopaste.com/p/anaE8m6lC That's my fstab entry
[11:31] <dusopn> i believe to get response in such a busy irc room i should offer money
[11:32] <dusopn> i know you all have good hearts but its kinda a lot to help everyone
[11:32] <oCean_> cylux: I missed the story behind it. Are you mounting a root partition... since mountpoint is /   ?
[11:32] <weatherkid> dusopn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132420/ here is the system logs (abridged) and my ls***'s
[11:32] <dusopn> i will try local room

[11:35] <weatherkid> oh well , thanks though
[11:35] <whileimhere> Good morning. I was wondering if the new version of digikam 1.0.0 will be included in the new ubuntu?
[11:35] <durt> whileimhere, check out packages.ubuntu.com for what's in Jaunty.

[11:46] <BigMoopies> Does it really matter which version of Avidemux I use? GTK+ or Q4 ?
[11:46] <mneptok> BigMoopies: it does if you care about dependencies.
[11:46] <BigMoopies> mneptok, Depedencies ?
[11:46] <weatherkid> I know this is off topic but I was going to make myself a fileserver using SWAT and Samba so what is the cheapest server out there?
[11:47] <ikonia> weatherkid: it's off topic so please don't ask
[11:47] <ikonia> weatherkid: there are offtopic channels
[11:47] <mneptok> BigMoopies: if you use GNOME, the QT version will pull in a ton of extra libraries. the FTK version should have most of what it needs already.
[11:47] <weatherkid> sorry =[
[11:47] <durt> BigMoopies, I don't know about Avidemux but it sounds like your just desribing front ends. So Gtk for Gnome and Qt for KDE.
[11:47] <BigMoopies> OK.
[11:47] <ubuntistas> i have 2 files that i cannot open and they're saying invalid encoding , the files are very important for me
[11:47] <ubuntistas> any clue?
[11:48] <durt> ubuntistas, open with what?, what type of files?
[11:48] <ikonia> ubuntistas: what are they encoded with, what are you trying to open thenm with
[11:48] <ubuntistas> with openoffice word
[11:48] <ubuntistas> ikonia
[11:48] <mneptok> ubuntistas: what kind of files are they?
[11:48] <ubuntistas> doc.
[11:49] <durt> ubuntistas, what extension?
[11:49] <ubuntistas> mneptok
[11:49] <mneptok> ubuntistas: created with .... ?
[11:49] <gladiator> hi.. i am trying to make a samba user account.. i do sudo smbpasswd -a <username> but after entering the password it says "Failed to modify password entry for user"
[11:49] <henriquelm> Hello there
[11:49] <ubuntistas> what do u mean?
[11:50] <mneptok> gladiator: "sudo smbpasswd etc etc etc etc etc"
[11:50] <weatherkid> gladiator: you first need to make the user an account
[11:50] <ikonia> gladiator: ias smba running ?
[11:50] <ubuntistas> it's a word document template and i cannot open it
[11:50] <ikonia> weatherkid: smbpassword -a makes an account
[11:50] <henriquelm> I'm trying to install x11vnc and im getting an error msg (*** A working X window system build environment is required to build ***)
[11:50] <mneptok> ubuntistas: what version of Word created it?
[11:50] <ikonia> henriquelm: are you trying to compile it ?
[11:50] <mneptok> ubuntistas: not every version of Word creates .doc files that OO.org can actually open.
[11:51] <henriquelm> ikonia, yes
[11:51] <dusty__> Hey guys I have ubuntu-server installed, I installed ubuntu-desktop and that installed gdm, I only want the ubuntu desktop installed so that I can use remote VNC I do not want GDM installed.. how can I remove GDM but keep gnome/xorg so that it boots to console and I can stil runn the vnc server?
[11:51] <gladiator> ikonia: yes its running.. i can see my shared folders.. but cant access them. weatherkid: thats what i was trying to do
[11:51] <mneptok> ubuntistas: this is why proprietary software using proprietary formats is a Bad Thing(tm)
[11:51] <|newbie|> ciao
[11:51] <dusty__> I have tried aptitude remove gdm, but that tries to remove ubuntu-desktop too.
[11:51] <ikonia> henriquelm: right so you're trying to compile it - not install it, and the error states you need an xorg build environment,
[11:51] <ubuntistas> Word document template (application/msword) mneptok
[11:52] <henriquelm> ikonia, I already have gnome running, what else do I need?
[11:52] <ikonia> henriquelm: a build environemtn - you're compiling not running
[11:52] <erUSUL> dusty__: just disable gdm on boot. « sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove »
[11:52] <ubuntistas> any clue mneptok
[11:52] <satansaunt> so i have a problem with firefox opening in fullscreen mode but only every now and again- i tried the about:config then fullscreen then false solution but apparently that only works part of the time
[11:53] <satansaunt> is there a more permanent solution?
[11:53]  * weatherkid tries to imagine a open-source microsoft...nothing coming to mind...
[11:53] <satansaunt> lol
[11:53] <ikonia> weatherkid: please stop being offtopic
[11:53] <dusty__> erUSUL: thankyou!!
[11:53] <durt> !spam > weatherkid
[11:53] <satansaunt> microsoft invest in some open source distros?
[11:54] <ikonia> satansaunt: this is nothing to do with ubuntu support so please stop
[11:54] <henriquelm> ikonia, i'm sorry for the dumb question but what is a build environment?
[11:54] <ikonia> henriquelm: the set of xorg libraries and/or headers
[11:54] <ikonia> henriquelm: if your not confident with what you're doing I strongly suggest you don't try to compile this software
[11:55] <weatherkid> henriquelm: i agree. If you don't know what you are doing it can kill your system
[11:55] <ikonia> !away > Mud|brb
[11:56] <mneptok> ubuntistas: that tells me nothing about what version of Word created the template
[11:56] <weatherkid> iknona: just a question. are you a moderator?
[11:56] <ikonia> weatherkid: is that important ?
[11:56] <mneptok> ubuntistas: Microsoft chnages the .doc format like underwear. it's a moving target.
[11:56] <weatherkid> no
[11:57] <ubuntistas> i just renamed
[11:57] <ubuntistas> ok mneptok problem solved
[11:57] <henriquelm> ikonia, ok, would you sugest another vnc server that is easier to install? because the one that comes with ubuntu server is not so good.
[11:58] <ikonia> henriquelm: another vnc server, I've no idea as I don't use VNC
[11:58] <ikonia> henriquelm: if you explain your problems we maybe able to fix them
[11:59] <henriquelm> ikonia, I needed a vnc server that started to run before the logon screen, ubuntu's default vnc server doesn't do that
[11:59] <Oli``> My default application for opening folders has somehow become phatch (a batch photo processing jig)... I can only open a dir if I double click onef the desktop
[12:00] <Oli``> .. and navigate to where I want to go.. How can I make nautilus the default again?
[12:00] <mneptok> henriquelm: do you *need* VLC, or are you just trying to run grpahical apps remotely?
[12:00]  * ikonia nudges mneptok vlc - not vnc
[12:00] <mneptok> henriquelm: IOW, do you need the entire desktop exported, or are you just trying to run a GUI app from another box?
[12:01] <mneptok> oh, brain fart.
[12:01] <kelli> how do i save a privet chat
[12:01] <mneptok> henriquelm: you need a graphical environment for VLC. vlc-nox might be what you want.
[12:01] <Kartagis> kelli, what irc client?
[12:01] <henriquelm> mneptok, I need to have graphical access to the server
[12:01] <henriquelm> mneptok, remotely
[12:01] <kelli> Kartagis, yes
[12:02] <mneptok> henriquelm: for .... ?
[12:02] <Gnea> henriquelm: all the time or just for certain applications?
[12:02] <michaeldadmum> henriquelm: you may try X over ssh
[12:02] <mneptok> henriquelm: i'm not trying to be nosy, but there may be *far* easier ways to do what you want than VNC.
[12:02] <henriquelm> mneptok, to install new apps, update, setup, reboot, etc
[12:02] <mneptok> henriquelm: all of those tasks can be done from the command line
[12:03] <henriquelm> mneptok, but not so good with linux
[12:03] <wanna_learn_more> !git
[12:03] <mneptok> henriquelm: and you should do them from the command line over ssh. VNC is a big security risk.
[12:03] <Gnea> henriquelm: is this for a corporate network or home?
[12:03] <mneptok> henriquelm: so what you're saying is, "I'm not so good with this OS. Help me open a large security hole."  not a good idea, IMO.
[12:03] <henriquelm> mneptok, but it's just a small company, no big deal
[12:04] <mneptok> henriquelm: private data is always a big deal.
[12:04] <Gnea> henriquelm: hopefully your boss is not reading this forum.
[12:04] <mneptok> henriquelm: alternatively, you could use Landscape.
[12:04] <henriquelm> mneptok, what is it?
[12:05] <mneptok> henriquelm: remote monitoring and admin app for Ubuntu. comes as part of any Canonical support contract.
[12:05] <mneptok> henriquelm: http://landscape.canonical.com
[12:05] <henriquelm> mneptok, thanks
[12:06] <mneptok> henriquelm: either way, please do NOT use VNC to admin a Linux server attached to the public Internet.
[12:06] <Gnea> henriquelm: your best bet, if it's a production server, is to take the time and learn the commandline and do it right.
[12:06] <ikonia> or employ someone to run the server for you
[12:07] <Oli``> mneptok & henriquelm: VNC over SSH isn't so bad...
[12:07] <henriquelm> mneptok, i'm using the companys network to have access to the server, not the internet
[12:07] <mneptok> henriquelm: that's a little better, but still ....
[12:07] <krzd> hi, totem doesn't play videos like .avi and .mpg but youtube videos via the youtube plugin. it just says: Disconnected: OK. vlc works fine. i'm using ubuntu jaunty x64. what can i do?
[12:08] <mneptok> henriquelm: what you want to do is almost like buying a jet aircraft, and then replacing the flight stick with an oar, because that's what you're familiar with from your old canoe. ;)
[12:10] <Gnea> henriquelm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto?action=show&redirect=AptGetHowTo
[12:10] <Gnea> henriquelm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers  is a really good general starting point
[12:11] <mneptok> henriquelm: or buy a support contract and use Landscape.
[12:11] <Gnea> henriquelm: there's even a fully detailed ssh howto linked from there: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers

[12:14] <Huufarted> Question for everybody.  Last night I used G4L to swap to a 500 GB laptop drive from a 160.  I used gparted live cd to resize/move the partitions around.  Everything boots fine now, but I can see the boot-up items now and they were previously obscured by the Ubuntu splash screen.  It doesn't bother me, but why would something that innane change?
[12:14] <Gnea> !update | PerryArmstrong
[12:14] <Gnea> nteunga: again, what site?
[12:14] <Huufarted> PerryArmstrong: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:14] <PerryArmstrong> Gnea; not updating ubuntu, its my browser seamonkey which needs
[12:15] <mneptok> nteunga: do you need PHP? MySQL? Python? etc etc? or are you just serving static files?
[12:15] <michaeldadmum> !test
[12:15] <Gnea> PerryArmstrong: see the upgrading process, as it would update seamonkey
[12:15] <mneptok> nteunga: if you don;t understand my question, you probably should not be running a web server :)
[12:15] <Huufarted> PerryArmstrong: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:16] <PerryArmstrong> Gnea, Huufarted, thank you
[12:16] <mneptok> !backports > PerryArmstrong
[12:16] <trapline91> Is there away to make it where you use your Wifi connection for internet and your Ethernet Connection only for file sharing?
[12:16] <Gnea> trapline91: what's the point?
[12:17] <trapline91> good question
[12:17] <Huufarted> Does Ubuntu support ntfs reading 'out of the box'?
[12:17] <Gnea> how many internet connections do you have? :)
[12:17] <mneptok> Huufarted: yes
[12:17] <trapline91> I have a wifi connection
[12:17] <shinoj> Huufarted: yes
[12:17] <Huufarted> thanks, guys.  :)
[12:17] <trapline91> but I would like to use wired connection for filesharing
[12:17] <Huufarted> (or gals)
[12:17] <navid_> salam
[12:17] <Gnea> trapline91: allow me to rephrase... is your wifi connection connected to the same internet connection that your wired is?
[12:18] <trapline91> gnea, no
[12:18] <dusty__> Hey guys I want to start a vncserver at boot but for some reason the command executres e.g. I see the echo "loading vnc server" but when it boots to the console it doesn't actually start - I am assuming that its trying to load vncserver before it brings up the network interfaces how can i load it as the last thing ?
[12:18] <Gnea> trapline91: so you have 2 ISP's?
[12:18] <trapline91> gnea, Well the thing is atm Im using someone else's wifi :)
[12:18] <Gnea> trapline91: so you want to engage in some illicit activity :)
[12:19] <shinoj> trapline91:-D
[12:19] <trapline91> gnea, not sure I know the term illicit
[12:19] <Huufarted> !illegal | trapline91
[12:19] <trapline91> gnea, no not piracy
[12:19] <krzd> Huufarted: filesharing does not have to be illegal!
[12:19] <mneptok> trapline91: using someone else's wifi connection without their consent is illegal
[12:19] <trapline91> gnea, where do you get piracy out of all that
[12:19] <Gnea> trapline91: if I were you, I'd be praying that they don't know how to see who's connected to their AP and is ganking all of their bandwidth
[12:20] <Huufarted> krzd, I didn't say it was.  Piggy backing someone else's wifi without their knowledge or consent is, however.
[12:20] <xaos11> trapline91, if you want to use someones wifi illegally, you might as well just get TOR
[12:20] <xaos11> much easier
[12:20] <Gnea> trapline91: that's what filesharing typically entails, especially if it's off of someone elses connection.
[12:20] <krzd> Huufarted: oh, then sry ...
[12:20] <trapline91> Well if they didn't want you to use it then they need to smarten up and put security on it
[12:20] <xaos11> if it's the browsing tha tyou don't want on your ethernet line
[12:20] <mneptok> trapline91: that's fallacious logic
[12:20] <jrib> trapline91: no, not really.  Anyway this is offtopic
[12:20] <Kartagis> can you guys help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6909571#post6909571 please?
[12:21] <Huufarted> trapline91: the law doesn't see it that way.  BUT your question was how to have 2 different applications use 2 different network connections
[12:21] <mneptok> trapline91: that's like me saying "If you don;t want me punching you in the face, learn a martial art!"
[12:21] <krzd> does nobody know something about my totem problem
[12:21] <supersasho> hi.. can someone help me with proftpd configuration.. i its runnig with no problems, but i want to add another directory, to the home folder of the users joining my ftp, which is on another partition then the home folder of the users..
[12:21] <Gnea> trapline91: it'd be nice, but that's not how it works
[12:21] <jrib> !helpme | krzd
[12:21] <trapline91> mneptok, I don't think that is correct at all
[12:21] <kelli> anyone know how long it would take to clean a 500G hd with "shred"?
[12:21] <mneptok> trapline91: you are doing something illegal. the fact the OTHER person did not make it more difficult for you to break the law has no bearing on the issue.
[12:21] <krzd> !repeat
[12:21] <Akkernight> how do I get the boost library for Ubuntu? Is it possible to use the package manager?
[12:21] <Gnea> trapline91: anyways, sorry, we can't help you with that.
[12:21] <trapline91> Interesting I never knew it was illigal to use someone elses wifi...
[12:22] <Kartagis> !patience
[12:22] <sipior> trapline91: you can set up a default route for the bulk of your traffic, and a secondary route over another device to a separate host or network for file transfers. see "man route".
[12:22] <trapline91> thank you sipior
[12:22] <Huufarted> sipior, the only problem with that is with stuff like BitTorrent, most of the connections would go over the default route
[12:22] <trapline91> Well I don't use bittorrent
[12:23] <Huufarted> sipior: you'd have to specify a route for each of the peers you're connected to
[12:23] <Huufarted> trapline, then that's a non-issue for you more than likely.
[12:23] <sipior> Huufarted: yep. not my problem, however :-)
[12:23] <kelli> anyone know how long it would take to clean a 500G hd with "shred"?
[12:23] <Huufarted> kelli: depends on drive speed and connection (USB/Sata/IDE) and individual PC specs.
[12:24] <Huufarted> trapline91: which application are you using for file sharing?
[12:24] <kelli> Huufarted, usb 2
[12:24] <Huufarted> trapline91: if you don't mind me asking, that is.
[12:24] <Huufarted> kelli, more than likely, I'd say about 1-2 hours.  Perhaps more.
[12:24] <kelli> ruffly
[12:24] <Huufarted> roughly*
[12:24] <Huufarted> ruffly isn't a word.
[12:25] <kelli> ok thanks
[12:25] <dr_willis> dosent shred have like 2x overwrit or higher options for even more paranoia.
[12:25] <dr_willis> Huufarted,  my wife yas a ruffly  dress. :)
[12:25] <Huufarted> dr_willis: hence my "Perhaps more."  ;P
[12:25] <erle64-> how can i make a build with an alternative compiler?
[12:25] <kelli> ok it late here and i'm tied sorry
[12:25] <Huufarted> dr_willis, touche.  :)
[12:25] <dr_willis> Ruffles have Ridges!
[12:26] <sipior> erle-: which alternate compiler?
[12:26] <erle64-> llvm with gcc frontend
[12:26] <erle64-> sipior,
[12:27] <erle64-> compatibility is not my problem, my problem is "how to set up the operating system to choose another compiler by default", sipior
[12:27] <sipior> erle64-: might be easiest going with a "linux from scratch" approach. or gentoo.
[12:27] <erle64-> sipior, i just want to build a single app
[12:27] <erle64-> sipior, that app uses a makefile, which runs on any unix flavor
[12:27] <Huufarted> Is there a command to list currently mountable drives in ubuntu?  I have an Ext3 Drive with multiple partitions on a USB drive and I want to mount it in Ubuntu.
[12:28] <henriquelm_> thanks for the help guys
[12:28] <henriquelm_> sorry i took so long to answer
[12:28] <sipior> erle64-: oh, i see. well, you can certainly set environment variables as needed to make sure you're using the correct version of the compiler and C library. check the "CC" variable, among others. also, try "./configure --help" if the thing uses autoconf.
[12:28] <henriquelm_> someone was saying something about vnc over ssh, it that secure?
[12:28] <matadore> net
[12:29] <erle64-> sipior, ok
[12:29] <Huufarted> I'm having an issue mounting an Ext3 drive in Ubuntu.  Anybody able to tell me where I can see a list of USB drives so I can mount it manually?
[12:29] <erle64-> sipior, the languages should be compatible, but the binary format not, so i need the llvm linker and c++ compilers set, too
[12:29] <trapline91> Huufarted, I was wanting to just set up a shared folder on a home network
[12:29] <sigma92> hey guys, i have /home mounted to a separate partition, i tried out kubuntu with a clean install but using the same home partition, now ive returned to a clean install of ubuntu and my scrollbars are weird, they have both buttons at the bottom. what can i do to fix that
[12:30] <daniel-vlc> .
[12:30] <trapline91> I just did some research on the "stealing wifi" and they say it isn't illigal if the wifi is open and there is no attempt to secure it.
[12:30] <sipior> erle64-: depending on how the makefile is generated, you may have to do a fair bit of editing. generally however, you can simply set environment variables to set compiler and linker options.
[12:30] <sipior> trapline91: look, just let it go. it's rude, and that's enough reason not to do it.
[12:30] <Gnea> !freenx | henriquelm_
[12:31] <Gnea> henriquelm_: vnc sucks :)
[12:31] <Huufarted> trapline91, then you can set a static route for all traffic to that IP to use a specific gateway.  However, the OS should handle that provided both interfaces have different subnets
[12:31] <Huufarted> trapline91: then what you read is outdated.  It is illegal.  People have been and will continue to be charged with a crime for doing it.
[12:32] <Huufarted> Drop the issue, trapline91.  Do not discuss using wifi without the owner's consent.  It's an illegal practice and as indicated with !illegal, it is not a welcome topic.
[12:32] <Gnea> Huufarted: it's only as illegal as the state allows, actually.. not all states have it on the books
[12:32] <Gnea> Huufarted: so he should probably check with his local municipility before proceeding
[12:32] <trapline91> looking into it now
[12:33] <quibbler_> gentlemen give it a rest or take it to offtopic
[12:34] <henriquelm_> Gnea, ok thanks!
[12:37] <Huufarted> I currently have a drive with 2 EXT3 partitions on it.  What's the best way to format it to a single Ext3 partition?
[12:38] <sipior> Huufarted: back up everything and reformat. or, back up the higher cylinder partition, remove it, and then expand the other one.
[12:38] <erUSUL> Huufarted: use gparted remove the two partitions create a new one
[12:39] <erUSUL> Huufarted: or you meant without data loss ?
[12:39] <Huufarted> sipior, it's the reformatting (repartitioning) that I'm unsure of.
[12:39] <Huufarted> erUSUL: thanks I'll do that.
[12:39] <Huufarted> erUSUL: I don't give a fart about the data.  :)  It was a hard drive upgrade.  The data is in a G4L image as well as on a new drive.
[12:41] <krzd> does anyone know a good pdf converter?
[12:41] <Huufarted> erUSUL: thanks.  :) gparted on the way.
[12:41] <Huufarted> krzd, converting to pdf or from pdf?
[12:41] <Huufarted> krzd, and to what other format are you wanting?
[12:41] <krzd> Huufarted, from pdf to doc or sth like that
[12:42] <Huufarted> krzd, one time deal or something you're going to use a lot?  If it's one-time I'd recommend something ghetto like GMail or google docs
[12:42] <nomasteryoda> krzd, you can use Inkscape to edit pdf files
[12:42] <nomasteryoda> or export the text
[12:43] <krzd> i want to convert it including all pictures and formatting. i want to use it a lot

[12:53] <Gnea> !dialup | pauli
[12:53] <sipior> archman: you'll need to install Mono
[12:53] <archman> Akkernight:gedit <file>
[12:53] <jrib> Akkernight: a gui one or you want to stay in the terminal?
[12:53] <jrib> archman: you need mono, no?
[12:54] <Grizze> b
[12:54] <archman> sipior, mono libs? or monodevelop? which doesn't work in intrepid...
[12:54] <archman> jrib^
[12:54] <pauli> ubottu: No, with enthernet :)
[12:54] <jrib> "doesn't work" is so boring
[12:54] <Gnea> pauli: you said rj-11
[12:55] <pauli> Yeah.. So, its rj-12 enthernet?
[12:55] <Gnea> hrm, no.

[12:56] <NemesisX11> Hi all quick question I had a dual boot going with windows and ubuntu I have now killed my windows partiton and want to extend my ubuntu partition to take up my whole drive but dont want to loose my current ubuntu load how could I do this
[12:56] <Gnea> pauli: it's ethernet, not enthernet, and ethernet uses rj-45, while telephone uses rj-11 :)
[12:56] <pauli> Gnea: OK, thank you :) So i cant connect to internet with rj-11 using a hub?
[12:56] <Gnea> pauli: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm
[12:57] <NemesisX11> Hi all quick question I had a dual boot going with windows and ubuntu I have now killed my windows partiton and want to extend my ubuntu partition to take up my whole drive but dont want to loose my current ubuntu load how could I do this
[12:57] <Gnea> pauli: no, you'd have to use rj-45, not rj-11
[12:57] <pauli> Gnea: Thank you! So, if i buy a PCMCIA card with RJ-45 plugin, can i use that with ubuntu
[12:57] <_Bart_> Hi
[12:58] <Gnea> pauli: most likely, yes
[12:58] <_Bart_> Can someone help me, I only want to let ubuntu use a part of my monitor, how can I do this?
[12:58] <myron> is there a linux command or script anyone knows of to remove bad characters (!,#,[,],(,),!, ,") from all files in a directory?
[12:58] <pauli> Gnea: ok. So, now i go eBay and buy some.. I hope its works.. Do i have to do something or just plug and pray?
[12:58] <Pici> NemesisX11: Boot up with the Ubuntu Live-CD and use gparted to extend the size of your Ubuntu parition(s).
[12:59] <sprinkmeier> myron, 'rename' should be able to do it.
[12:59] <NemesisX11> pici i tryed that but it wont let me merge the two togeather
[12:59] <myron> sprinkmeier, you know the args i need ?
[12:59] <pallino> ciao a tutti
[12:59] <archman> sipior, I cannot install it...:(, Depends: libmono-corlib2.1-cil but it is not going to be installed...tried installing it manually, but "dep is not satisfiable..." ???
[12:59] <Pici> NemesisX11: Don't merge, just delete the Windows one and extend the Linux one... if thats what you intend to do.
[13:00] <Gnea> pauli: it should plug 'n play, but you'll need to use the network manager to get up and goign
[13:00] <Gnea> pauli: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html  is a good place to start
[13:00] <NemesisX11> hmm ill try it again
[13:00] <sprinkmeier> myron, something like "rename 'y/a-zA-Z0-9//c' *"   it's a perl program using perl regexps, a perl guru might be able to help
[13:01] <Cruelty> Damn. I never saw 1340 ppl using one IRC-Channel before. ;)
[13:01] <beli_> myron: what are you trying to do?
[13:01] <Chiren> hello all !  i'm trying linux for the very first time, just installed ubuntu and i'm now looking for some good help for a total noob. can someone give me an url plz?  (in french if possible?  :)   )
[13:01] <myron> beli, get spaces, brackets and explination points out of a hole list of files
[13:01] <pallino> ! list

[13:03] <sprinkmeier> myron, "rename 's/[^[:alnum:]]//' *" seems to work
[13:03] <felix_> Hello, i used laptop mode but when i noticed that the hard drive is constantly turned on and off, i purged it. now the problem is that the drive is still going to sleep after some seconds and i d like to know what could cause that.
[13:03] <archman> sipior, yes
[13:03] <beli> myron: ok :) can you upload an example and tell me what you want to delete?
[13:04] <wuffy> i need assistance in getting my eeepc to work with my wireless card or what not please IM me to help if you can
[13:04] <sprinkmeier> myron, don't forget "--verbose --no-act" to see what it will do first!
[13:04] <sipior> archman: try an "apt-get update" first. it installs fine on my system.
[13:04] <beli> myron: if you just want alphanumerics to be allowed anymore...use what sprinkmeier told you...you can add more chars to the list by just...listing them ;)
[13:06] <archman> sipior, it's no use...what libmono2.0-cil version you got installed?
[13:06] <beli> myron: s/[^[:alnum:]]//   ...this searchs for anything that is NOT in the [...]list...and replaces it with nothing (deleting)
[13:06] <sprinkmeier> myron, "rename --no-act --verbose 's/[^[:alnum:]]//g' *" add other characters to the clause as required. once you're happy remove the "--no-act"
[13:06] <_Bart_> Nobody :( ?
[13:07] <archman> sipior, 'cause I installed 2.0 from external source, I guess I need to wipe it all out and build again...
[13:07] <archman> sipior, any recommendations on how to do that?
[13:07] <beli> _Bart_: i just joined..can you repeat your question?
[13:08] <sipior> archman: i have libmono-corlib2.1-cil
[13:08] <myron> beli,,,, somthing like this   "II (U) [!].zip"   to this "II__U____.zip" .... i tryed your command above it didn't seem to fix the brackets
[13:08] <_Bart_> Sure, I only want to let ubuntu use a part of my monitor, how can I do this?

[13:08] <diouf> j want to install eclipes but tell me error of dependence
[13:08] <sipior> archman: you can grab 2.1 from the repository, no need to build anything from scratch, i think.
[13:09] <archman> sipior, I think 1.9 is the latest in reps...
[13:09] <archman> sipior, What do I need to erase to install the whole mono again?
[13:09] <beli> myron: so dont delete the matched chars...rewrite them...s/foo/bar/....the foo ist what you search for and bar is what it is replaced too

[13:10] <sprinkmeier> myron, I just tried it(   touch 'II (U) [!].zip' ; rename --verbose 's/[^[:alnum:]]//g' * ) ,  seemed to work (after I removed the --no-act)

[13:10] <haytham-med> hi all, sometimes the sound fails (until i restart)
[13:11] <sledgeas> what could i start with?
[13:11] <_Bart_> beli, no just like my monitor is half the size
[13:12] <jetscreamer> split screen
[13:12] <beli> _Bart_: hmmm you can switch resolution....but that is always expanding to the monitor edges...hmmm....if it is possible its done by the x.org X11 server....you may ask on the xorg channel
[13:13]  * beli detex: wth does someone want to use just half of his screen?
[13:13] <_Bart_> beli, I already thought so. thanks. trying the xorg channel now but it' s a bit quiet there
[13:14] <sprinkmeier> myron, "rename --verbose 's/[^[:alnum:]]/_/g' *" will replace things that aren't alpha-numeric with underscore. without the _ it just removes the characters.
[13:14] <beli> _Bart_: xorg is well documentated...look into the docs...anyways: good luck

[13:23] <aclonedsheep> Hey, I'm trying to restore my ubuntu installation from the damage of a windows install that overwrote the mbr.  I booted from a live ubuntu CD and did fdisk -l but only see one partition
[13:24] <Bass> how to go to french version?
[13:24] <dr_willis> aclonedsheep,  use sudo fdisk -l
[13:24] <jetscreamer> sounds like somebody used the restore partition
[13:24] <jetscreamer> or cd
[13:24] <SuperLag> Okay. I realize this might be a pipe dream, but I'm going to ask. On OS X, there is a terminal program called iTerm. It has a feature that allows me to open up tabs, and if I have a separate SSH session open on each tab, I can send a single command that executes *simultaneously* on each session. (that's the important part) Does anyone know of a terminal program for Linux that has just such a feature?
[13:24] <pallino> !list
[13:25] <pallino> ciao
[13:25] <Flynsarmy> What's the package that adds allt he developer tools?
[13:25] <dr_willis> SuperLag,  there are ssh tools that let you do similer things.. but ive not tried them
[13:25] <reem> hello all
[13:25] <magnetron> !bugs | dennda
[13:25] <magnetron> dennda→ all bugs are reported to Launchpad
[13:25] <SuperLag> Flynsarmy: like gcc and make? are you thinking of the package called build-essential ?
[13:26] <reem> I have a problem with jockey-gtk, I can't install my nvidia drivers :(. Does anyone know much about fixing that?
[13:26] <Flynsarmy> SuperLag, build-essential, thanks
[13:26] <SuperLag> you bet
[13:26] <macman> so
[13:27] <macman> i want to install itunes on ubuntu/ linux .. is wine or crossfire better ?
[13:27] <reem> so, nobody knows anything about dealing with jockey-gtk crashing while installing nvidia drivers?
[13:28] <reem> is there an alternative way to get them installed?
[13:28] <jetscreamer> don't install them with x running
[13:28] <reem> ok, how jetscreamer?
[13:28] <SuperLag> reem: I'm not running anything Nvidia... but are there any posts on the forums about this issue?
[13:29] <reem> yeah there are superlag
[13:29] <reem> but no reply
[13:29] <dennda> http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/03/fix-for-flickering-fullscreen-application-with-compiz/ ahhh
[13:29] <SuperLag> Okay.
[13:29] <reem> I just did a fresh install :(
[13:29] <reem> of 8.10
[13:29] <jetscreamer> i don't know how ubuntu does it .. sh Nvidia-'version-pkg0.run works for me
[13:29] <SuperLag> I'd stop gdm, then run the .run script
[13:29] <SuperLag> from the command line
[13:29] <reem> ok, I'll try that jetscreamer
[13:29] <SuperLag> /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[13:30] <reem> ok
[13:30] <SuperLag> then cd to the dir where you have your Nvidia .run script
[13:30] <reem> thanks superlag
[13:30] <SuperLag> and ./Nvidia-whatever-it's-called
[13:30] <jetscreamer> sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run -anN --x-module-path=`X -showDefaultModulePath 2>&1 | cut -d, -f1` --x-library-path=`X -showDefaultLibPath 2>&1`
[13:30] <Akkernight> does anyone know where std::tr1 is defined? Specificly, for GCC... I read that it's supposed to be in GCC 4.x, but I'm getting errors about it not being defined
[13:30] <SuperLag> and you may have to run it as root, I don't remember
[13:31] <archman> sipior, I installed mono-smcs. What now?
[13:31] <jetscreamer> yes as root
[13:32] <SuperLag> jetscreamer: and hopefully he'll know to reboot once he's done with that
[13:33] <jetscreamer> heh
[13:33] <jetscreamer> and has the kernel headers and kbuild
[13:34] <danlii> I just upgraded my laptop to Jaunty (x64 platform), and now Gnome won't start properly, I just get the wallpaper and nothing else. What has gone wrong? :)
[13:34] <sipior> archman: make sure you have the mono-jit package installed, and you should then be able to compile code with "mono"
[13:34] <reem> ok, off to try off your suggestions jetscreamer, superlag
[13:34] <reem> here goes
[13:34] <reem> brb
[13:34] <lesshaste> I get the error ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave in ubuntu hardy
[13:34] <lesshaste> any idea how to fix it?
[13:36] <archman> sipior, I run "mono *.cs" ?
[13:36] <sipior> archman: try "man mono" to verify syntax, &cet.
[13:36] <Ajit> what should I do before reinstall my Ubuntu. (my Ubuntu is booting very slow so I wanna reinstall)
[13:36] <Ajit> I am newbie
[13:36] <Ajit> for linux
[13:37] <Ajit> I can run simple commands
[13:37] <jetscreamer> backup anything you want to keep
[13:37] <michaeldadmum> Ajit: backup /etc /home /var/lib/mysql etc
[13:37] <kitche> Ajit: it will continue to boot slow if it did at first
[13:37] <holyMoly> how can gedit display japanese?
[13:37] <sipior> Ajit: instead of reinstalling, perhaps try isolating what the problem is?
[13:37] <Guest76277> quit
[13:37] <jetscreamer> /
[13:38] <Ajit> sipior: how can I trace problem
[13:38] <Akkernight> where does GCC get installed to when installed through package manager?
[13:38] <SuperLag> /usr/bin
[13:39] <WolfyAU82> anyone know how to setup a network between an Ubuntu 8.10 machine and a Windows XP machine from the linux side?
[13:39] <tempa434> Akker: which gcc
[13:39] <tempa434> I mean, type that command "which gcc"
[13:39] <SuperLag> Akkernight: that's what I was just going to say: which gcc <-- run that
[13:39] <Akkernight> GCC 4.3
[13:40] <SuperLag> Akkernight: if you run "which gcc" from the command line, it will tell you where it got installed to
[13:40] <archman> sipior, thank you, it works. :) You got a second to check some screenshot? I got a problem running monodevelop.
[13:40] <Akkernight> oh thanks!
[13:40] <SuperLag> Akkernight: you can use "which" with any command, to find out where it is
[13:40] <sipior> archman: i'm afraid i don't, apologies. but i'm sure one of the folks here will be happy to take a look :-)
[13:40] <SuperLag> which ls, for example
[13:40] <archman> sipior, ok, tnx ;)
[13:41] <Ajit> sipior: Before reinstall do I need to unmount drives (dual boot system)
[13:41] <Akkernight> ok, where does libstdc++ get installed to? "which" command doesn't work
[13:41] <SuperLag> Ajit: it would serve you much better to figure out what is slowing your machine down
[13:42] <SuperLag> Ajit: if you simply reinstall, you run the risk of repeating your problem... and you'll have no idea what's doing it
[13:42] <FoolsRun> Hey, quick question: when sharing something out in Ubuntu versions previous to Intrepid I seem to remember an option to share via SMB or NFS. Now there's no option --does it default to one or the other? If so, is the other an option somewhere?
[13:42] <tempa434> Akker : which only works for executable (and executables that are in your path if i remember correctly )
[13:42] <Ajit> SuperLag:but how can I figure out? I am not Linux expert..just trying to migrate on Linux
[13:43] <Akkernight> The problem is that smart pointers don't work for Code::Blocks/GCC but for Visual Studio, I need it for Ubuntu and I know it has been released, std:: is a namespace in linux, right?
[13:43] <Gnea> Ajit: when the system shuts down or reboots, the filesystems are unmounted then
[13:43] <archman> Guys, I got a problem running monodevelop: http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmonodevelop.png   any thoughts?
[13:44] <michaeldadmum> Akkernight: std:: contains everything and the C++ standard library
[13:44] <fliegenderfrosch> Akkernight: in synaptics you can see all installed files of a package in the properties
[13:44] <danlii> Nobody else having problems after upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty?
[13:44] <SuperLag> Ajit: I suggest you do some reading, to expand what you know.
[13:44] <mkrueger1> anybody here know how to fix a headless server installation with grub errors?
[13:44] <Akkernight> I know, but it just won't find std::tr1
[13:44] <SuperLag> Ajit: (and others) http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index2.html
[13:44] <tempa434> Akker : you can also check http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[13:44] <SuperLag> Ajit: that guide is free for the taking
[13:44] <FoolsRun> anyone? :)
[13:45] <erUSUL> danlii: jaunty is discusswed in #ubuntu+1 becdouse it has not been yet released
[13:45] <erUSUL> danlii: it is normal to encounter problems in beta software
[13:45] <SuperLag> Ajit: I would use the "top" command to sort by CPU and memory, to see what processes are taking up resources
[13:45] <SuperLag> That's just a start.
[13:46] <danlii> erUSUL: I know about it being normal, but thank you for the redirection.
[13:46] <holyMoly> ne1 here manage to get gedit to display chinese?
[13:46] <phjr> hi, does anybody know which ubuntu mirror is the source for other mirrors? I have a broken jaunty and am waiting for more gnome updates - but my mirror updates only every 2 hours
[13:47] <FoolsRun> Is SMB the preferred method of sharing directories to a LAN in Intrepid?
[13:47] <kitche> phjr: from the main site most likely
[13:47] <lesshaste> how do you reinstall sound in ubuntu? I seem to have screwed up the sound install
[13:47] <tempa434> Akker : Have you installed g++ ?
[13:48] <phjr> kitche: which one's that? I'm using us.archive.ubuntu.com but that updates every 2 hrs
[13:48] <tempa434> Akker : I can compile an example with std::tr1 with g++-4.2.4
[13:48] <kitche> phjr: remove the us
[13:48] <romici> hello all!! Newbie here. How do I see my Trash Can in the desktop?
[13:48] <phjr> kitche: will try
[13:48] <Noose215> I just installed a fresh copy of kubuntu 8.04 on a shuttle PC... when I type in username/pass on login screen, the monitor goes black for a second and returns to login screen!
[13:48] <erUSUL> !trash
[13:48] <Akkernight> tempa434, yes, now I'm just manually trying to download the libstdc++ through SVN, hope this will work ;)
[13:49] <FoolsRun> romici: depending on your setup, you should see a trash-can on the lower-right of your bottom bar. If you've changed that, you can re-add it by right-clicking on the bar and selecting "Add to Panel".
[13:49] <romici> ubottu: but how do I place the icon in the Desktop? please setp-by-step instructions, newbie here.
[13:50] <bn2knowitall> is there sound that goes with compiz?
[13:50] <phjr> kitche: well, no new updates for me there, but maybe that's correct
[13:50] <romici> thank you FoolsRun
[13:50] <tempa434> Akker : You don't need to install the SVN version
[13:50] <tempa434> Akker : The package version of libstdc++-dev will do nicely
[13:51] <FoolsRun> romici: you can make a shortcut to it on your desktop, but the applet for the panel is more functional
[13:51] <fliegenderfrosch> romici: afaik this is a setting in the gconf-editor
[13:51] <Akkernight> tempa434, how do I get that? through the package manager?
[13:52] <fliegenderfrosch> romici: apps-nautilus-desktop activate trash_icon_visible
[13:52] <tempa434> Akker : Yes or simply "sudo apt-get install libstdc++-dev"
[13:53] <FoolsRun> One more re-phrasing: if I have two Ubuntu machines, what's the preferred method of sharing folders between them? SMB? NFS? FTP?
[13:53] <Akkernight> my package manager won't find it...
[13:53] <fnando> hey guys... i'm creating some shell script using the `dialog` command... how can i verify the options returned by --checklist? something like if is in the list, execute a command
[13:53] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: do you need to constantly have access to a folder on Machine2 from Machine1?
[13:53] <romici> smb
[13:53] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: or are you just looking for a way to occasionally transfer stuff between them?
[13:54] <SuperLag> no, not SMB
[13:54] <FoolsRun> SuperLag: machine1 is a "server" (just a stand-alone machine in my house), machine2 is a laptop that will need to access shares from machine1 when it's on-network
[13:54] <SuperLag> SMB is for Windows sharing
[13:54] <Akkernight> tempa434, how do I choose a explicit install?
[13:54] <romici> I dont know, I just guessed...hehehe
[13:54] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: then I would use NFS
[13:55] <romici> I use it like that, Iḿ doing a triple boot...I just loo up in Media, en xelect the drive I want, and I trasnfere files just like windows.
[13:55] <FoolsRun> SuperLag: There used to be a gui way to create NFS shares --I don't see it anymore, though. I assume I'll be editing config files to set it up?
[13:55] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: this is a very short and crude explanation. You define what "shares" (the proper term is 'exports') in /etc/exports on your server. Then you add them to /etc/fstab on your "client"
[13:56] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: you need NFS stuff installed and enabled on the server, and you need to know how to set up the rules properly
[13:56] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: make sense?
[13:56] <durt> FoolsRun, do you not have a shared folders dialog in system or system tools?
[13:56] <FoolsRun> SuperLag: I'm betting I can find a howto on that somewhere. Yes, that makes sense. Is there a reason NFS sharing was removed from the Nautilus gui in Intrepid? (was it? I don't see it anymore)
[13:57] <durt> FoolsRun, from applications.
[13:57] <FoolsRun> durt: no, I don't see "Shared Folders" in System/Administration
[13:57] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: as to the poobah's reasons for removing the GUI tool, I'm not sure.
[13:57] <tempa434> Akker : What version of ubuntu ?
[13:57] <FoolsRun> durt: oh, no, I don't see it under Applications/System Tools either
[13:57] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: I just use the final product :)
[13:57] <FoolsRun> SuperLag: no problem, just curious. Seems like Ubuntu defaults to SMB, which makes sense.
[13:58] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: for Windows, yes.
[13:58] <SuperLag> FoolsRun: not for *nix to *nix
[13:58] <FoolsRun> SuperLag: For Windows and MacOS. It's a shitty standard, but it's a common one.
[13:59] <Akkernight> tempa434, I pm'ed you the error report, incase it was too long and was considered flooding, I used the command sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.3-dev 4.3.2-1ubuntu12
[13:59] <durt> FoolsRun, I'm running Jaunty Xubuntu and it's there.  With my nfs share.
[14:01] <FoolsRun> durt: all of my access to my "machine1" is remote and some admin gui tools don't seem to like that. I've read a bunch of bug reports on it. In short, in both shares-admin and users-admin the "unlock" button is grayed out no matter how I run it.
[14:01] <FoolsRun> So I'll just do it all via command line
[14:03] <Tobberoth> Can the ubuntu InstallationMinimalCD be used from a USB stick somehow?
[14:04] <FoolsRun> Thanks for your help, guys!
[14:04] <Tobberoth> feels kinda dumb to waste a whole CD on a 10MB file
[14:04] <FoolsRun> Tobberoth: CDs are cheaper than thumb drives, though :)
[14:04] <durt> !usb | Tobberoth
[14:05] <Gothfunc> hi.  just installed aptana.  the workspace is on my fileserver, and .metadata and contents is being created with root as group and owner, instead of the user i'm running aptana as.  i've tried chown/chgrp -R, but all new files are owned by root.  this inevitably causes permission errors.  any ideas why this is happening?
[14:05] <bullium> what application handles passwords in 8.04 for say samba shares, ftp, through nautilus?
[14:06] <kitche> bullium: gnome-keyring
[14:06] <sky_> hi
[14:06] <sky_> i need antivirus
[14:07] <DJones> !virus | sky_
[14:07] <SuperLag> for what?
[14:07] <bullium> kitche: that doesn't seem to be the actually executable name, do you know what the name is?
[14:08] <sky_> i run a game called WoW and i get C++ error...i searched and i found that is virus (wow files are infected maybe....so that i cant run the game)
[14:09] <sky_> anyone ?
[14:10] <durt> sky_ in wine?
[14:10] <Tobberoth> This might be a dumb question but.. can I use syslinux from ubuntu in virtualbox on windows to make a USB stick bootable? or will VirtualBox interfere in the process?
[14:10] <Akkernight> Anyone know when GCC will be avaible for Ubuntu?
[14:10] <sky_> durt: yes in wine
[14:10] <macman_> hey guys .. i just rmed a parition .. dev/sda3 witch was osx , it is now unaloocated space .. how can i move that space to /dev/sda1 ?
[14:10] <kitche> bullium: should be gnome-keyring but I do  not use gnome so I m not quite sure
[14:10] <Akkernight> GCC 4.4*
[14:10] <durt> sky_ what is the actual error?
[14:11] <Akkernight> sorry about that >.<
[14:11] <jetscreamer> gparted

[14:13] <kitche> guilitev: only took two seconds to look on wicd website
[14:13] <guilitev> I look
[14:13] <durt> sky_ most likely not a virus prob. Maybe google for instructions on how to get WoW to work in wine.
[14:13] <sky_> durt: i already run it for a months
[14:14] <sky_> durt: but now i get this error :X

[14:27] <vigo> sky_: Ok, that was a bit radical, but if all else fails, that is why we make incremental backups.
[14:27] <Oli``> sky_: as I said before, install clamtk to make clamsv scanning easier
[14:27] <smtp_> Is there a file or something (like /etc/redhat-release) that I can check to see which version of Ubuntu is running?

[14:28] <vigo> sky_ : WoW is on the windoze volume?
[14:28] <Skaarj_> Akkernight: yes
[14:28] <LjL> jmdc: you're welcome. you can see that one of the last postings suggests a fix - i have no idea on the validity of it, however
[14:28] <LjL> !debian | Akkernight
[14:29] <sLaeYa> can anyone help me with my LDAP problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/132508/
[14:29] <sky_> vigo: windows volume ?
[14:29] <sky_> vigo: you mean partition ?
[14:29] <Oli``> smtp_: uname -a gives you a good clue
[14:29] <vigo> sky_: Yes
[14:29] <sky_> is fat32 windoze partition ?
[14:29] <vigo> sky_: Yes, it can be
[14:30] <sky_> omg :X
[14:31] <satya> Hi need some help with ubuntu
[14:31] <vigo> sky_: What Oli'' said was pretty much correct, if it is a windoze partition that is infected, or a program on that part, log onto it and repair it.
[14:31] <sky_> !ask satya
[14:31] <satya> i am using windows in one harddrive and ubuntu 6.06 LTS but unable to mount windows drive
[14:31] <embryonalni> hey please help I cant use math.function in python.. do I need to install sth?
[14:32] <embryonalni> ??python
[14:32] <vigo> sky_: You could run the Clam from Linux and maybe clean it, just make sure you have incremental back-ups
[14:33] <durt> embryonalni, go ask the folks in #ubuntu-offtopic they love python
[14:34] <vigo> !python
[14:34] <Pici> embryonalni: #python would be much more on topic for your question.
[14:35] <corey> Are certain OS's more power efficient than others?
[14:35] <embryonalni> Pici: i cant log into #python cause of the nickserv
[14:35] <Pici> embryonalni: Then reigster your nick
[14:35] <erUSUL> corey: they can be. it depends on a lot of things
[14:35] <Pici> !register > embryonalni
[14:35] <vigo> corey: Yes, kinda depends though
[14:35] <Pici> corey: Its not really on-topic for this channel.
[14:36] <embryonalni> Pici: i am waiting for some email from the nickserv...
[14:36] <Kalisto_> afternoon :D
[14:36] <erUSUL> corey: a good place to start about power efficiency and linux is http://www.lesswatts.org/
[14:36] <Pici> embryonalni: Ask in #freenode if you are having issues.
[14:36] <erUSUL> corey: specially the poertop utillity

[14:39] <Boohbah> klaas: probably need to enable highmem in the kernel
[14:39] <corey> thanks guys!
[14:39] <klaas> its running preboot Boohbah
[14:39] <genii> gte351s: Try installing the package: smbfs

[14:43] <gte351s> genii: thanks, I'll try
[14:43] <klaas> Boohbah so there is no way to check securely above 3gb?

[14:45] <phjr> Bodsda: try the syntax in what I sent, seems there's more stuff in the PS1 var

[14:53] <truk77> Hi there.  Can anybody recommend the best "howto" to use for installing a custom kernel into Ubuntu Hardy?  I've done Kernel recompiles before, but I want to make sure I don't screw anything up
[14:53] <sebsebseb> truk77: why do you want to do a custom kernel?
[14:53] <dsdeiz> uhm, i can hear myself using the mic, although ubuntu doesn't seem to be able to record it
[14:53] <truk77> sebsebseb: I'm trying to get iscsi to work, and it looks like there might be some kernel voodoo involved
[14:53] <dsdeiz> i'm testing it using gnome-sound-recorder
[14:53] <vigo> paper: Are those supported in that install?
[14:54] <sebsebseb> truk77: not  quite sure, but I think probably not, also you could upgrade to 8.10 for a later kernel
[14:54] <sebsebseb> truk77: well I assume 8.10 has a later kernel than 8.04
[14:54] <dsdeiz> oh, after running gnome-sound-recorder, my mic stopped working
[14:54] <paper> vigo......i can see flashplayer only with  Opera browser
[14:55] <truk77> sebsebseb: strangely enough, 8.10 wouldn't even boot on the system they were trying to load it on.  I think my best bet at this point is to go with Hardy and try to patch the kernel by hand
[14:55] <sebsebseb> paper: yes Firefox and FLash hum
[14:55] <sebsebseb> paper: also why not just use Flash from the repo?
[14:55] <sebsebseb> truk77: how much RAM?
[14:55] <vigo> paper: Ok, then I assume it is a bad or messed up browser, update it or fix it to the supported one
[14:55] <paper> install flash player from synaptic??  yes... i did
[14:55] <sebsebseb> paper: or how about trying a Flash alternative such as Gansh or Swfdec, you may find that's good enough for your Flash usage
[14:56] <truk77> sebsebseb: it's got at least a gig...I haven't actually been given access to the machine yet.  Just getting my ducks in a row, so to speak.  I seriously doubt the RAM is the issue
[14:56] <sebsebseb> paper: that's Gnash
[14:56] <sebsebseb> truk77: who is they? I only joined here a little while ago
[14:57] <bob_brain> what do I need to add to my xorg file in order to enable more screen resolutions?
[14:57] <XPS_M1330> where are the FONTS stored in the filesystem?
[14:57] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: have you got  your graphics card driver installed?
[14:57] <paper> y has been installed gnash (same problem)....  i don´t know what to make now
[14:57] <erUSUL> !kernel | truk77
[14:57] <truk77> sebsebseb: my IT guys.  But we're getting off topic.  All I'm looking for is a guide to installing a custom kernel in Hardy :)
[14:57] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: yes I do
[14:57] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: ok how old is the computer?
[14:58] <truk77> ubottu: Thanks, I'll check those out
[14:58] <workPragmatist> Is it possible to constantly show the changes of a .log file and parse them to a terminal?
[14:58] <sebsebseb> truk77: your IT guys, oh right, so  your getting UBuntu installed in some organisation? well that's great
[14:58] <stoepsl> hey
[14:58] <vigo> paper: reboot, some of those codecs require a re-boot, or not.
[14:58] <erUSUL> workPragmatist: "tailf /var/log/messages"
[14:58] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: like 2 years, I had everything running great but then I updated to the newest release and everything went crazy and now I can only select a tiny resolution
[14:58] <sebsebseb> stoepsl: hello
[14:58] <erUSUL> !info multitail | workPragmatist
[14:59] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: ok  8.10 has a completly differnet xorg to 8.04
[14:59] <sebsebseb> truk77: I don't know about installing custom kernels in Ubuntu
[14:59] <sarmisak> hi all
[14:59] <sebsebseb> sarmisak: hello
[14:59] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: you got an old graphics card?
[15:00] <Kiaas> I'm on xubuntu 8.10. I have XFCE configured just the way I want it...for a different user.
[15:00] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: its and Nvidia geforce go 7600
[15:00] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: so  a resaobnlly new card?
[15:00] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: so its not that old
[15:00] <Kiaas> How can I copy the settings for XFCE over for that different user, and deny them the ability to change it?
[15:00] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: yes certain Nivida cards have issues with xorg it seems
[15:00] <vigo> sebsebseb: I thought the 8.04.2 was the same as the 8.10?
[15:00] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: ,because NIvidia don't suppourt xorg properly for every card they have
[15:00] <sebsebseb> vigo: oh 8.04.2  don't know if they put the 8.10 xorg in that or not
[15:01] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: it was working fine prior to my upgrade
[15:01] <sebsebseb> vigo: ,but in the former 8.04 stuff differnet xorg
[15:01] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: to be honest 8.10 is hardly an upgrade over 8.04
[15:01] <vigo> sebsebseb: Yes, I think the 8.04.2 has that stuff
[15:02] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: that auto shut down feature, is about the only new end user 8.10 feature that I use
[15:02] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: if not the only
[15:02] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: well and the 8.10 version of Banshee from the repo, but can get that in hardy with a ppa anyway
[15:02] <sky_> can i resize ntfs partition from linux and create a new ext3 or any unix like fs ?
[15:02] <sebsebseb> bob_brain: anyway I am going 9.04 alpha6 later on today :)
[15:03] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: well anyways, I did the 'upgrade' and now I can't get my resolution to work properly
[15:03] <bob_brain> sebsebseb: sounds very cool
[15:03] <erUSUL> sky_: yes; depending on the disk layout
[15:03] <sebsebseb> sky_: yes you can
[15:03] <Kiaas> Am I going to have to redo all my customizations for XFCE on the other account? and then, how can I lock it so that user can't change it afterwards? (deploying normal xubuntu 8.10 for a school.)
[15:03] <sebsebseb> sky_: ,but you can't resize  the partitions that Ubuntu is using,  since  they are running, and so Live CD to resize those
[15:03] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: hello again
[15:04] <BigMoopies> is "powernowd" really needed?
[15:04] <BigMoopies> I'm not on a laptop
[15:04] <sky_> thank you
[15:04] <sky_> and which tool is for this ?
[15:04] <sebsebseb> sky_: Gparted
[15:04] <sebsebseb> sky_: the partition editor
[15:04] <sky_> thank you :)
[15:05] <sebsebseb> sky_: use Ext3 for now, but  later on you will probably want to change to Ext4
[15:05] <sky_> yea i know
[15:05] <sky_> mmm but i cant resize it
[15:05] <BigMoopies> That's another question , how do I know if I am using ext3 or ext4
[15:05] <Anna_111> installed Ubuntu 8.10. I am getting this while booting: There is a problem with the configiration server. /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity_check-2 exited with status 256. Please help. Twice done clean install but the problem persists. Please help. Before this install I installed the same version with / and swap partition and it worked. But now I have /, /home, and swap. I am using the LiveCd to install. The LiveCd checked out fi
[15:06] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: wel  no versions of UBuntu have Ext4  suppourt yet, but 9.04 released at the end of April will have
[15:06] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, OK.  What's the big deal about it ?
[15:06] <Kiaas> Let me rephrase my question... I'm not sure if this is a #ubuntu or #xfce question, but I have XFCE configured the way I want it for another user to have it, how can I copy the settings over, or do I need to redo them? and also, after the settings are in place, how can I lock it so the user can't change it?
[15:06] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: ok that's  not got anything to do with the partitions
[15:07] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: it will be faster and such
[15:07] <Anna_111> sebsebseb!!!! What gives?
[15:07] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, OK.  I'm guessing the next LTS next year will have it ?
[15:07] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: Gnome  config stuff errors ok
[15:07] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: GNome works though?
[15:07] <Anna_111> All I am getting is a blank screen after I click to that message.
[15:07] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: no  Jaunty 9.04 will have Ext4 as an option
[15:08] <sebsebseb> !jaunty
[15:08] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: damn
[15:08] <edwardgilf> hey guys, does anyone know how can I get my "brightness key" to work on a HP dv3000 series notebook?, The screen doesn't get dimmed using the ubuntu's panel applet. thanks.
[15:08] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, I don't want to use normal releases
[15:09] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: why not?
[15:09] <Anna_111> sebsebseb, I have already formatted the partition and then reinstalled. But it did not work.
[15:09] <sinelaw> help! apt-get fails with segfault
[15:09] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, I got this one working, it's supported.. why change ?
[15:09] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: that error seems familur from ages ago
[15:09] <sebsebseb> Anna_111: I think I seen it before
[15:09] <afancy> hi, is there a new version Ubuntu 9.10 released ??
[15:09] <sebsebseb> !jaunty
[15:09] <keepsake> sinelaw: Try http://codepoets.co.uk/apt-get_segfault_sts.
[15:10] <sebsebseb> afancy: end of April
[15:10] <sky_> hmm i cant resize it :(
[15:10] <oskar-> afancy, even 9.04 is not yet released
[15:10] <sebsebseb> sky_: on the LIve  CD you can resize stuff
[15:10] <sky_> sebsebseb: i cant resize it and yes its not mounted
[15:10] <sky_> sebsebseb: i mean ntfs partition
[15:10] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, Why risk something going wrong like in Intrepid ?
[15:10] <fliegenderfrosch> afancy: the next version is 9.04, released on april 23rd, 9.10 will be released in october
[15:10] <afancy> ok
[15:11] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, I  tried to install Intrepid and it wouldn't get an internal IP and connect to my network.  The router light would just flash and twinkle like there was 'high traffic'
[15:11] <keepsake> afancy: The alpha6 of 9.04 is released though, and the beta is coming soon.
[15:11] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: Intrepid  works about as good as hardy
[15:11] <afancy> I am using 8.10, my x-server crrashed twice then i have to reinstall Ubuntu
[15:11] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, LOL yeah OK sure.
[15:11] <sinelaw> keepsake, thanks! solved!
[15:12] <keepsake> sinelaw: No problem =P
[15:12] <keepsake> afancy: Seems like 8.04 is probably more stable for now.
[15:12] <kungfoollama> I am kungfoollama fear my kungfoo
[15:12] <afancy> now, but i cannot recover my xwindow
[15:12] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, I'm a "whatever works" kind of guy.  I mean.. Why should I be making Intrepid work if I already have hardy, or put myself through such things if updates are coming in on a LTS just like the other ones ?
[15:13] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: lol  the other ones have  some more advanced features.  ,but yes  8.10 and 8.04 not that different really, but 9.04 will be quite differnet to 8.04
[15:13] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, I mean really I am asking.  Besides the fact they have new versions of KDE/Gnome
[15:13] <kungfoollama> I am kungfoollama fear my kungfoo
[15:13] <sky_> why i cant resize ntfs ? -_-
[15:13] <kungfoollama> kung foo llama to the rescue
[15:14] <BigMoopies> sebsebseb, Isn't the next Ubuntu LTS coming out NEXT April ?
[15:14] <afancy> Hi, could anybody know how to reinstall X-Server
[15:14] <sebsebseb> BigMoopies: something like that
[15:14] <kungfoollama> kung foo llama to the rescue
[15:14] <keepsake> BigMoopies: 8.10 and 8.04 LTS are virtually the same. If 8.04 works for you, you should stick with it unless you want the newer repos.
[15:14] <BigMoopies> keepsake, OK.
