[15:36] <s_spiff> guys, can AWN be placed at the sides of the screen instead of the bottom?
[15:37] <ubernewb> ok, so there is a request and require
[15:37] <profanephobia> so what allows me to change gutsy's compiz theme?
[15:37] <_nix_> anyone running bittorrent here?
[15:37] <MasterShrek> yes
[15:38] <genii> ubernewb: Yes, "require" should be under the "request" one
[15:38] <Dr_willis> s_spiff,  i found awnt i be very lacking in a lot of ways. :(
[15:38] <erUSUL> _nix_: client?
[15:38] <MasterShrek> profanephobia, emerald theme manager
[15:38] <_nix_> Ktorrent
[15:38] <_nix_> MasterShrek: w/ DHT enabled?
[15:38] <erUSUL> _nix_: i use deluge-torrent what is the actual problem?
[15:38] <MasterShrek> erUSUL, whats the difference between a bittorrent client and server? =P
[15:38] <s_spiff> Dr_willis, is there any other substitute? kiba dock is there, I'm just about to install it
[15:38] <MasterShrek> _nix_, not usually
[15:39] <_nix_> erUSUL: no problem.. just interested in DHT table exchange..
[15:39] <erUSUL> MasterShrek: well i asked becouse i've never created a torrent or hosted a tracker
[15:39] <Dr_willis> s_spiff,  no idea. I dont care for the OS-X wannabes or OS-X for that matter. :) give me a nice normal panel.
[15:39] <slliness> what would I have done to make compiz-fusion stop working on gutsy
[15:39] <erUSUL> MasterShrek: that's what a "server" would do i guess
[15:39] <AutoMatriX> Hi folks
[15:39] <slliness> haven't really dome anything except updates
[15:39] <MasterShrek> erUSUL, i spose, but i dont really see the difference, once you start a torrent you are a client and a server
[15:39] <ubernewb> and ok, so #require domain-name-servers and in the line that says prepend domain-name-servers put my "special nameserver"?
[15:39] <erUSUL> MasterShrek: true
[15:40] <s_spiff> Dr_willis, lol. sorry I asked. anyone else here can help out?
[15:40] <unperson> Dr_willis, I see.  Well in my case it would just be 1 computer, so that won't be an issue.
[15:40] <unperson> Dr_willis, Thanks for you help.  I'm going to give it a try.
[15:40] <MasterShrek> those floodbots annoy me
[15:40] <jens> question: If I install ubuntu 6.06.1 server on my  desktop pc, and after installation I install xubuntu-desktop; how long do I get security updates?
[15:41] <LjL> you probably annoy them, don't worry
[15:41] <Assassin5> I've got ubuntu studio setup on a laptop and I want to plug midi control into Would a USB Midi cable work okay with ubuntu?
[15:41] <Dr_willis> unperson, i just got it set with a 2 pc setup. :) but wheni go copying some iso files from the basement to up here (for me to burn) it can lag my display a little.
[15:41] <jens> the server install get's 5 years; but do the packages in xubuntu-desktop get them? I guess not?
[15:41] <erUSUL> MasterShrek: yeah me too... but they are not going away anytime soon afaics
[15:41] <MasterShrek> jens, however long 6.06 is supported, a couple more years i spose
[15:41] <xactly> i have Ubuntu 7.10... i have just bought an MP3 player... when i plug the device in my USB slot, nothing happens... i've got an installation CD with the MP3 player's software to transfer music and stuff on it but this installation only work on a Windows operating system... is there any way i can transfer music to my MP3 player on Ubuntu?
[15:41] <profanephobia> MasterShrek, do you know the package name?
[15:41] <rockprincess> jens: maybe till the next LTS comes out?
[15:41] <MasterShrek> yea i know erUSUL, stupid script kiddies thinkin they are cool shit flooding the ubuntu channel
[15:42] <AndrewB> !ohmy | MasterShrek
[15:42] <MasterShrek> profanephobia, for what?
[15:42] <slliness> like when I try to change emerald themes they do not change
[15:42] <jens> rockprincess, the question is; I know the server version get's 5year's of updates; but what if I install xubuntu-desktop on my server?
[15:42] <MasterShrek> yea yea i know AndrewB, i felt it would more accentuate my anger about it
[15:42] <matozoid> hi all, I have a 1GB flash drive but only 379Mb is available on a partition... the rest of the space is hidden.. Is there a way I can get 1 GB available?
[15:42] <xactly> i have this MP3 player:  http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1940)-SDMX4-4096-A70-Sansa_e260_MP3_Player_4GB.aspx
[15:42] <ubotu> MasterShrek: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[15:42] <AndrewB> ;)
[15:42] <MasterShrek> =P
[15:42] <slliness> tried compiz --replace
[15:42] <damaltor> nd
[15:42] <xactly> please help
[15:43] <MasterShrek> profanephobia, oh, emerald...umm i dunno, search synaptic for emerald
[15:43] <AndrewB> matozoid: will need to parition it with an application like fdisk or cfdisk or take a look at gui app called gparted
[15:43] <xactly> there's no Linux installation software for my MP3 player so i'm kinda stuck
[15:43] <genii> ubernewb: Please put my name in a message when it is for me, otherwise I miss it :)
[15:44] <matozoid> AndrewB: tried to use the 3 of em, put could not clear the partition table
[15:44] <AndrewB> xactly: does it not show up as a usb device?
[15:44] <AndrewB> matozoid: did you run them as root?
[15:44] <xactly> AndrewB, no
[15:44] <MasterShrek> xactly, what kind of software do you need? mostly i just mount the mp3 player and move files to it (make sure you unmount it before you unplug it)
[15:44] <erUSUL> xactly: is it no recognized as a standar usb-storage device?
[15:44] <matozoid> AndrewB: sudo, yes
[15:44] <rockprincess> jens: i'm not sure, but i think it shouldn't matter whether you install the xubuntu desktop or not....the security updates will be probably available no matter if you're using XFCE4 or Gnome or KDE??
[15:44] <xactly> actually it is not recognised at all
[15:44] <AndrewB> matozoid: what error?
[15:44] <MasterShrek> xactly, lsusb doesnt list it?
[15:44] <jpass> I am having some issues with SARG (squid reports) after an upgrade to SARG 2.1 - is there a known issue with this?
[15:44] <xactly> when i plugged it in, it started to charge the battery
[15:45] <MasterShrek> dmesg doesnt say anything about it when you plug it in?
[15:45] <xactly> that is all
[15:45] <Hamlet> akincer: this documentationis for another OS
[15:45] <xactly> Ubuntu did not recognise a plugged in device
[15:45] <albech> does anyone know of an alternative (same tech.) to DSPAM?
[15:45] <Lunks> I know this is a pretty unusual question, but can I install Gutsy using my Feisty CD?
[15:45] <MasterShrek> xactly, type dmesg after you plug it in
[15:45] <erUSUL> xactly: ? do 'tail -f /var/log/messages' while you plug it and check the msgs posted
[15:45] <Hamlet> xactly, what brand is it?
[15:45] <genii> ubernewb: If you currently have a # in front of the "require" line it will not take effect. If you want to specify a nameserver the prepend, yes
[15:45] <matozoid> AndrewB: no error
[15:45] <Beryllium> okay, seriously, php5-cli gets updated, and it STILL doesn't have readline() support? How do I get readline() support in php5 in Ubuntu?
[15:46] <xactly> Hamlet, this brand:    http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1940)-SDMX4-4096-A70-Sansa_e260_MP3_Player_4GB.aspx
[15:46] <ubernewb> ah
[15:46] <MasterShrek> Lunks, you can install feisty and then upgrade to gutsy
[15:46] <Dr_willis> Lunks,  you couldinstall then upgrade.. but it would be faster to just grab a gusty cd.
[15:46] <syndr0> hello all
[15:46] <matozoid> AndrewB: the partition shows up as 379Mb on gparted
[15:46] <MasterShrek> Lunks, better off downloading a gutsy cd tho
[15:46] <jens> rockprincess, why is there a difference between the lenght of support for ubuntu server and xubuntu f.ex? They use the same repositories don't they?
[15:46] <dgjones> Lunks, yes you can install Feisty and then upgrade to Gutsy if the computer is connected to the internet
[15:46] <xactly> Sansa E260
[15:46] <AndrewB> matozoid: did you delete it then make a new one of 1G?
[15:46] <Lunks> But I dont have a spare CD to burn Gutsy ISO.
[15:46] <erUSUL> Lunks: install feisty and then upgrade ?
[15:46] <jens> so if server get's updates; so does xubuntu?
[15:46] <Hamlet> hmm
[15:46] <Lunks> I'd like to install it directly
[15:46] <Hamlet> strange
[15:47] <Lunks> I've tried unetbootin, but its freezin
[15:47] <syndr0> can anyone help me ?
[15:47] <xactly> any proposals?

[15:47] <MasterShrek> syndr0, just ask your question
[15:47] <AndrewB> matozoid: maybe a problem with the usb stick then..

[16:03] <Sisco> ubuntu is good for hacking

[16:04] <hume> xactly, brand of the mp3?
[16:05] <MasterShrek> xactly, not sure the difference, definately worth a try, though

[16:07] <twocarlo> sandisk is a brand then sansa is the title of the product
[16:08] <xactly> okay so the brand is SanDisk
[16:08] <xactly> please check the link for more info
[16:08] <syndr0> man i cant seem to understand how to mount this
[16:08] <syndr0> and if i did mount it i dont know where to find it
[16:09] <xactly> i presume that my MP3 player is not supported by Ubuntu 7.10?
[16:09] <hume> you should set it to MSC, then it functions as a usb mass storage device
[16:09] <mofle> http://flickr.com/photos/mofle/2088197145/
[16:09] <xactly> i'll try that
[16:09] <Lunks> xactly: what are the usb types available?
[16:09] <void^> xactly: i have a sansa e250 (should be same as yours with 2gb instead of 4). works just fine.
[16:10] <hume> xactly,  and turns up on your desktop or in you file manager automatically, if you run gnome or kde
[16:10] <MasterShrek> xactly, try changing that usb mode thing, i bet it works
[16:10] <dgjones> xactly, http://www.expansys-kr.com/ft.aspx?k=89037 this suggests connecting in MSC mode (not ubuntu specific though)
[16:10] <xactly> void^, do you have the USB Mode on the player set to MSC or MSP?
[16:10] <hume> xactly, MTP is Media Transfer protocol, not soo well supported in linux
[16:10] <xactly> hume, aha!
[16:10] <hume> xactly you should set it to MSC
[16:10] <xactly> hume, thanks
[16:10] <hume> np
[16:10] <xactly> thanks a lot
[16:10] <Lunks> Amarok probably supports it, though. ?P
[16:10] <Lunks> :P
[16:11] <hume> Lunks, well..... suppport or "should support"?
[16:11] <void^> xactly: both work. it's simpler to use msc, you can just move and delete files on it. if you use mtp you need to use extra software to transfer files, music players like amarok support it.
[16:11] <hume> Lunks, does not support my iriver on msc....
[16:11] <syndr0> ok i think i mounted my other partitions but i dont know how i can view the files on them how do i do that?
[16:12] <xactly> void^, is the Rhythmbox sufficient for synchronising my mp3 player?
[16:12] <dissident> can someone please tell me how to dual boot with two hdd xp and linux
[16:12] <xactly> do i need some other software?
[16:12] <miked> is there a way to virtually "merge" the contents of two folders into one without copying or creating tons of softlinks?
[16:12] <dissident> cause part magic and boot magic won't work
[16:12] <void^> xactly: no idea, never used it. if it supports mtp it should work as well.
[16:12] <dissident> can i do this all in linux
[16:13] <syndr0> how do i view my other partitions that i think i mounted... key word being think.???
[16:13] <dissident> like in the install menu
[16:13] <zoli2k> Anyone using hamachi with ubuntu? I need help.
[16:13] <Lunks> hume: Should support, never used it with any MP3 players. I'd rather transfer files myself.
[16:13] <hume> syndr0, with df they should be listed
[16:13] <syndr0> df?
[16:13] <hume> Lunks, same here..
[16:14] <hume> syndr0, df -h shows size, type it in a console
[16:14] <hume> syndr0, of all mounted partitions on the machine
[16:14] <xactly> void^, i have bought a 1 Gig microSD memory card
[16:14] <syndr0> ok
[16:14] <syndr0> i see its not mounted then
[16:15] <xactly> void^, how do you transfer music to that memory card?
[16:15] <profanephobia> is there a  Network Manager Applet for AWN?
[16:15] <void^> xactly: might need to use msc mode to access it, should show up as an extra partition i think.. but not sure, i don't have any microsd cards
[16:15] <xactly> void^, is that done automatically after the players own space is consumed?
[16:15] <hume> xactly, dont know about syncing, I transfer via the file manager or with amarok music player
[16:15] <syndr0> hume, would you mine running me through this for some reason im retarded
[16:16] <hume> syndr0, join the club of us retarded...:) you trying to mount what?
[16:16] <syndr0> im trying to mount these two ntfs partitions
[16:16] <xactly> you have all been a great help
[16:16] <xactly> thank you all
[16:16] <xactly> be well
[16:16] <xactly> bye
[16:16] <syndr0> i tried following those directions
[16:16] <hume> bye
[16:16] <Lunks> cu
[16:16] <syndr0> but it didnt work
[16:16] <Lunks> syndr0: have you tried installing ntfs-3g tools?
[16:17] <Lunks> on add/remove
[16:17] <syndr0> i installed ntfs config throuh synaptic program
[16:17] <hume> syndr0, which directions? which partitions?
[16:17] <syndr0> ummmm
[16:17] <syndr0> how can i list all the partitions on my hd
[16:17] <syndr0> i dont know what they are defined as
[16:17] <steph_> Ugh
[16:17] <cj> what's the PGP key id for the gutsy archive?
[16:17] <Dr_willis> syndr0,  sudo fdisk -l
[16:17] <hume> try sudo cfdisk, then you can see all partitions on the disk - but beware to change someting
[16:18] <cj> how do I find it out without having to ask you folks?
[16:18] <syndr0> lunks, ntfs 3g tools is the same thing in synaptic program manager as ntfs config right?
[16:18] <Dr_willis> syndr0,  sudo fdisk -l   - is safe. :)
[16:18] <Beryllium> syndr0: I usually do it the geeky way: dmesg | grep sd, then I look for the lines like "sda1", "sda2"
[16:18] <Lunks> syndr0: yeah, it is
[16:18] <syndr0> thats what i thought
[16:18] <Lunks> what happens when you run it?
[16:18] <syndr0> all it did was ask me to make write properties
[16:18] <syndr0> for internal or ext
[16:18] <syndr0> and i did it for internal
[16:18] <Lunks> hmm
[16:19] <TitraxX> hi

[16:41] <kuribohx> it won't pull it up in the browser and when I go directly to it, and click to mount it....it won't mount

[16:50] <CroX> Can you use Feisty packages for a Gutsy system?
[16:50] <CroX> I want Wine 0.9.45 but http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html only has that version for Feisty. :(
[16:50] <sproingie> CroX: you *can*, but not easily, and it's not recommended
[16:51] <simmerz> CroX: why specifically that version and not a later one?
[16:51] <sproingie> when it comes to wine, manually installing it seems to be the best
[16:51] <sproingie> simmerz: wine is notorious for only working with particular versions
[16:51] <Lunks> CroX: If probably just have to uninstall current Wine and run .deb
[16:51] <CroX> simmerz: Because after that version, Warcraft bnet play doesn't work.
[16:51] <simmerz> CroX: doh. I use crossover for most of my stuf
[16:51] <simmerz> stuff
[16:52] <CroX> simmerz: You need to pay for Crossover though, right?
[16:52] <Lunks> CroX: But if something weird happens related to wine, it's probably because of the older, unsupported version
[16:52] <simmerz> CroX: yep. happy to
[16:52] <sproingie> or the newer, unsupported version
[16:52] <epifanio> hi, un ubuntuserver, without gui,  what is the commad to power off the computer ? :-/
[16:53] <threefcata> connecting to xp using ad hoc, card is associated but not getting any ip, can anyone help me?
[16:53] <Lunks> epifanio: halt
[16:53] <LjL> epifanio: sudo halt or sudo shutdown -h now
[16:53] <epifanio> ok
[16:53] <LjL> or sudo poweroff
[16:53] <Sirisian> Where is the documentation about installing pykota and setting it up on ubuntu? I can't seem to find it via google
[16:53] <simmerz> threefcata: that's because you have to manually set it. XP doesn't contain a DHCP server
[16:54] <simmerz> threefcata: you'll also have to manually set up the XP machine with an IP address on the same subnet that you create
[16:54] <bullgard5> void^: /usr/bin/gnome-power-cmd.sh could deal with the lower 5 buttons. I does not deal with the upper 3 buttons. --  Do you know what program calls the /usr/bin/gnome-power-cmd.sh script?
[16:55] <NetLarIrvine> I am thinking of getting an old pc so I can just play with Ubuntu, What is the lowest recommended for 7.10?

[16:55] <Lunks> NetLarIrvine: xubuntu runs on most computers

In other words it seems the printer thinks that the paper is placed to the left in paper tray instead of in the center. The result is that the contents are exceeding the paper boundaries to the left.

[17:14] <TheEagle> wols_: ctrl-alt-f2-6 all do the same as f1
[17:15] <Dr_willis> Tonren,  you sure that ~ is correct? thats normally a short cut name used by bash.  or other shells.
[17:15] <wols_> TheEagle: what X driver do you use?
[17:15] <AlexQ> wols_: Not even beryl? Or compiz-beryl?
[17:15] <threefcata__> does anyone know how to configure with a network bridge on a xp machine?
[17:15] <Tonren> Dr_willis: http://www.nopoblopt.com/proftpd.html#DEFAULTROOT <-- Says you can use it in the documentation.
[17:15] <TheEagle> wols_: either vesa or sis, ill just check my xorg.conf file
[17:15] <wols_> threefcata__: what has XP to do with it?
[17:16] <AlexQ> I've got an problem with sound in Ubu Gutsy AMD64 - Most probably it's GStreamer. I've reinstalled it several times, but it didn't help.

[17:17] <Dr_willis> Tonren,  :) glad to hear you are reading the docs. heh..  Perhaps they got a faq.  Ive no other ideas.
[17:17] <wols_> threefcata__: you run ICS on windows, that's it
[17:17] <wols_> threefcata__: you can only bridge inside the same PC
[17:17] <wols_> threefcata__: not acress hosts
[17:17] <TheEagle> wols_: vesa
[17:18] <wols_> TheEagle: that shouldn't give you that problem then. maybe restart without X then
[17:18] <threefcata__> wols_: but that is going to screw up the ethernet connection i already have, it auto sets the ip of it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:18] <wols_> TheEagle: and until you fix your troubles use startx or such
[17:18] <wols_> threefcata__: do you have a ubuntu problem? cause your windows troubles aren't

[17:20] <Dr_willis> kane__,  some of those im clienyts can be very hard to block. they will default back to port 80 if they cant connect with other ports. Not sure if ICQ does that however.
[17:20] <ubotu> cox377: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[17:30] <Jermit> how do I mute my laptop speaker's when I plug my headset in?
[17:30] <ubotu> biotrox: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[17:31] <biotrox> i asked about the real question earlier but no one respond
[17:31] <biotrox> :(
[17:31] <MONODA> why would my computer overheat
[17:31] <cox377> Dr_willis: basically, so it removes all config files and trace of it ever being there lol
[17:31] <cazilla> #join strongswan
[17:31] <biotrox> i'm asking does anyone can help me.. my ubuntu pendrive often crash.. and can't login
[17:31] <Strangelv_> MONADA: poor circulation; inadequate heatsink;... is this a notebook or desktop or other that's overheating?
[17:32] <Oli``> Anyone here on Pidgin able to connect to MSN?
[17:32] <Strangelv_> biotrox: I've never booted off of a jumpdrive.  Sorry
[17:32] <Jermit> yes Oli
[17:32] <Oli``> Jermit: bugger =( that mean's it's my fault
[17:32] <shishirm1> how to stop wine whn it is running
[17:32] <Strangelv_> "oh good! someone with a question someone else may be able to answer
[17:32] <Dr_willis> cox377,  note that that does NOT remove the users own personal configs/settings in theior home dir.
[17:32] <Strangelv_> shishirm1: does kill -9 count?
[17:33] <erUSUL> !kill | shishirm1
[17:33] <ubotu> shishirm1: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[17:33] <cox377> Dr_willis: nope, basically trying to fully remove the lamp stack
[17:33] <Squirrely_Wrath> So I guess I can't be helped.
[17:33] <Dr_willis> Squirrely_Wrath,  ati drivers can have bugs.. sadly..
[17:34] <Strangelv_> Squirrely_Wrath: it can probabrly be helped, just that the person who could help you presumably isn't here right now
[17:34] <Dr_willis> Squirrely_Wrath,  i would say check the ati/linux forums and see if anyoht else has had simielr issues
[17:34] <sharperguy> Dr_willis, tbh i dont really  think its what I'm looking for - i need to edit the live cd iso by installing and removing packages - also it segfaulted
[17:34] <Dr_willis> sharperguy,  i never used it.  i dont even use my ppc machine any more. :)
[17:34] <Squirrely_Wrath> What's the forum location?
[17:34] <Dr_willis> Squirrely_Wrath,  i would say hit google first.
[17:34] <sharperguy> Dr_willis, Also i don't care if its complicated - ie involving manual extraction and chroot/apt-geting etc
[17:35] <Dr_willis> im not sure ubuntu has a specific forum for those things.
[17:35] <Dr_willis> sharperguy,  Ya can extraxt the iso. but i dont know about puttig it all back together. :)  plus ppc adds another layer of complications
[17:35]  * Strangelv_ has always used the old school "alternate" install discs -- he knows how to use them better and hasn't consistently run into show-stopping issues
[17:35] <Squirrely_Wrath> K.  Will bounce around and take a look-see.  Thanks for the help.
[17:36] <DrJohnston> Can anyone tell me why i might not be able to ssh to example.com, but i can SSH directly into example.com's IP?  I can ping and resolve example.com but for some reason ssh connections fail when i use the host name...
[17:36] <sharperguy> Dr_willis, well ive done it with an x86 computer but I doubt its possible to do any of that with a different arcitechure
[17:36] <DrJohnston> Anyone?
[17:36] <Dr_willis> sharperguy,  no idea there. :) but they are all usign the iso9660 filesystem. so it may work.
[17:37]  * Strangelv_ has never directly used ssh
[17:37] <sharperguy> Dr_willis, lol ill re-ask because i have absolutely no idea what to google
[17:38] <TheEagle> pike_: any idea how to restore my ttys? i can't seem to get any unless i boot into recovery mode
[17:38] <Dr_willis> sharperguy,  yep. Me either.   Ive never edited a live cd. other then to remaster them with  various tools.
[17:38] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  disable the framebuffer for a start.
[17:38] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  assuming its a framebuffer issue.
[17:39] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: i am new to ubuntu, so if you can, please can you explain what that means? thanks
[17:39] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  in the /boot/grub/menu.lst  the line   looks like # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb
[17:39] <Dr_willis>
[17:39] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: ill just check
[17:39] <Dr_willis> the nofb option disalbes the framebuffer. edit the file. set that line, rerun 'sudo update-grub' and reboot and see.
[17:39]  * Strangelv re-asks, "What can provide dynamic gamma and color adjustments and how do I disable it?  Alternately, what keywords might point me to a useful direction with a search engine?"
[17:40] <Dr_willis> OR at the grub menu. hit 'e' and edit the kernel= line and append 'nofb' to the end.
[17:41] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: nofb is not there so do i add it?
[17:41] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  if you want to disable it yes... :)
[17:42] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: what is the difference between having it on and off?
[17:42] <Dr_willis> nofb is the option to disable the framebuffer.   the nosplash option disables the splash screen so you can see error messages
[17:42] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  One turns off the framebuffer.. one turns it on. :)
[17:42] <Xteven> hi
[17:42] <Dr_willis> The framebuffer enables fancy gfx modes on the console.
[17:43] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: what is the frambuffer
[17:43] <TheEagle> ok
[17:43] <Ziddharth> hi
[17:43]  * Strangelv jots down notes on nosplash
[17:43] <Ziddharth> i m new to irc
[17:43] <Ziddharth> can ne 1 help me with this thing
[17:43] <Xteven> does anyone know if I can access the directories mounted under nautilus (SSH server), from console ?
[17:43] <Dr_willis> And ive had issues in the past with the framebuffer and some hardware
[17:43] <Braindead> How do i connect my internet connection using a usb wireless adapter?
[17:43] <Braindead> *on ubuntu
[17:43] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: if i turn it off, are my ttys likely to come back?
[17:43] <Dr_willis> Strangelv,  note that the 'recovery' grub entry HAS 'nofb' in it :)
[17:43] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  one way to find out.
[17:43] <TheEagle> lol, ok
[17:43] <Dr_willis> TheEagle,  since the recovery mode does work..i would say yes.
[17:44] <Strangelv> Ziddharth: what is your difficulty with IRC and/or Ubuntu/*ubuntu?
[17:44] <Strangelv> Dr_willis: I'm not having trouble with TTY consoles on any current install -- I'm very interested in disabling the splash screen though. 8)
[17:46] <indio> hi
[17:46]  * Strangelv crosses his fingers as he awaits TheEagle's return.  Maybe someone can get helped here...
[17:46] <indio> how do i install JBOSS ?
[17:46] <sharperguy> Is there any way do edit the powerpc cd from an x86 box? (I'm assuming not)
[17:47] <Dr_willis> Strangelv,  :) one of the first things i do on a new install.
[17:47] <Ax-Ax> Why did Microsoft register patent on sudo?
[17:47] <Dr_willis> sharperguy,  i do recall there being a PPC ubuntu specific forum on the messge bords.
[17:47] <Dr_willis> Ax-Ax,  because they can. :) and can get away withit.
[17:47] <sharperguy> Ax-Ax, because they're pies
[17:47] <indio> There is no jboss package at synaptic.
[17:47] <bluefox83> microsoft registered a patent on sudo?
[17:48] <bluefox83> when the hell did that happen?
[17:48] <Ax-Ax> 2000 i think
[17:48] <bluefox83> O.o
[17:48] <jklock> sudo patent sude
[17:48] <Strangelv> Dr_willis: Maybe something I should add to the list I have -- I've just not been motivated enough to find out how.  Generally a high priority has been disabling counterproductive touchpad features.  Previously ensuring keyboard layout support was critical, but has always been shockingly easy with Kubunt
[17:48] <jklock> sudo patent sudo* there all better
[17:48] <Ax-Ax> I don't getiit
[17:49] <pras> ciao zäme
[17:49]  * Strangelv prefers to have a root console open anyway -- retypping his >10 digit password every time he needed to do something was too annoying
[17:50] <chadde> Can someone please tell me how to connect to a remote mysqlserver?
[17:50] <T1m0thy> I just reinstalled Gutsy and I'm trying to install Adobe Flash Player for Firefox. I went to YouTube, loaded a video, went through the steps and intalled. It didn't work. So, I went to Synaptic, uninstalled, and then reinstalled. It still doesn't work. Any ideas?
[17:50] <syberpuppy> hello
[17:50] <TheEagle> Dr_willis: thanks alot! great work
[17:50]  * Strangelv wonders if he's the only person here boycotting Adobe -- if he is' someone should be able to help T1m0thy
[17:51] <boris_> does Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 2600PRO, 512MB, AGP have a 3D driver that supports compiz ?
[17:51] <Strangelv> TheEagle: Yay!
[17:51] <indio> How do I install JBoss??
[17:51] <syberpuppy> can anyone help me installing ubuntu?
[17:51] <TheEagle> lol
[17:51] <T1m0thy> Strangelv, there aren't any full alternatives at the moment are there?
[17:51] <TheEagle> syberpuppy: yes

[17:51] <kristijan> hi
[17:51] <kristijan> kjako e
[17:52] <Strangelv> T1m0thy: gnash/gtk-gnash, and let me find the name of the mozilla package
[17:52] <linuxftw> ./installer: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:52] <linuxftw> does anyone know my problwem
[17:52] <linuxftw> because the file IS there
[17:52] <Strangelv> unfortunately, it's still in serious alpha time
[17:52] <T1m0thy> Stranglev: I heard that had problems. Is it better now?
[17:52] <syberpuppy> i donloaded and install ubuntu at other drive then my xp and it doesn't dualboot
[17:52] <hardeep> hello
[17:52] <chadde> Why does it say "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' " When its not a local server Im connecting to?
[17:52] <linuxftw> umm
[17:52] <kristijan> kkkkkkkkkkkkk
[17:52] <Strangelv> T1m0thy: It's less bad than it was a few months ago, but it's still not there
[17:52] <linuxftw> windows kills linux
[17:52] <TheEagle> so you have 2 drives?
[17:53] <syberpuppy> yep
[17:53] <linuxftw> you always install xp first :\
[17:53] <TheEagle> one for xp and one for ubuntu
[17:53] <hardeep> anyone have the 64 bit edition of ubuntu, 7.10 running on VM?
[17:53] <Strangelv> T1m0thy: for FLV- I use UnPlug, save to disk, and then run them with VLC
[17:53] <TheEagle> same as me
[17:53] <syberpuppy> yes, i made the linux partition active (boot)
[17:53] <TheEagle> so, what happens
[17:53]  * Strangelv tries to remember who simply wanted install help
[17:54] <TheEagle> and you cant boot into xp?
[17:54] <bruenig> are the FloodBots freenode things or ubuntu things?
[17:54] <TheEagle> Strangelv: well technically, this is install help.
[17:54] <syberpuppy> finished installing, restarted, and xp was up as if i never installed ubuntu
[17:54] <linuxftw> floodbots
[17:54] <linuxftw> from freenode
[17:54] <Strangelv> "oh, dual boot.  I must admit I've not messed with that on my past few installs...
[17:54] <robeph> is there a util similar to rc-status in gentoo,  in ubuntu?
[17:55] <Strangelv> syberpuppy: what did you install last?
[17:55] <TheEagle> so you can't access ubuntu
[17:55] <syberpuppy> ubuntu was last
[17:55] <Strangelv> robeph: what is rc-status?
[17:55] <TheEagle> did you install grub?
[17:55] <syberpuppy> eagle: nope
[17:55] <robeph> Strangelv: shows status of the current runlevel and the state of the scripts
[17:55] <TheEagle> syperpuppy: is that a nope to installing grub?
[17:56] <syberpuppy> nope, the latest ubuntu, it never gave me an option
[17:56] <Strangelv> syberpuppy: odd -- I've not encountered that before.  Admittedly, I've also never set up a dual boot with XP.  I EOLed MS Windows with 2000, the la-st version with licencing rules I find acceptable
[17:56] <robeph> more like dueling boot,  when xp is involved D:
[17:56] <Strangelv> robeph: you'll need a more admin-savvy person here seeking help to answer that than me I'm afraid.  I'm here trying to identify a feature to disable
[17:57] <Strangelv> "a video feature, something that might be part of nVidia's driver or similar
[17:57] <TheEagle> sorry syberpuppy, i don't know what to do
[17:57] <u_angel_> hello room.
[17:57] <d0dge> Hello! I installed xserver and gnome, but when I try to 'sudo startx' I get errors, like cannot lock .Xauthority file, and No valid Fontpath could be found. Could anyone help?
[17:57] <aladdinsane> Why do i get green annoying circles following my mouse in Gimp on Xubuntu, which after a while clutter the whole image im working on?
[17:57] <aladdinsane> Here's another guy with the same problem: http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Green-cirle-Issue-25821-1.html
[17:57] <TheEagle> but there are plenty of people here, one of them must be able to help
[17:57] <u_angel_> is ikonoa here?
[17:58] <bluefox83> that's some crazy shiz, can't believe micro$hit basically patented sudo...
[17:58] <Strangelv> syberpuppy: if I were in better shape I might be able to help with your dual boot issue, but I'm not.  Sorry
[17:58] <robeph> wait what?
[17:58] <robeph> bluefox83: wtf?
[17:58] <biotrox> ubuntu gutsy often crash
[17:58] <pakde> as
[17:58] <bluefox83> robeph, holdon i'll link you to the article
[17:58] <robeph> k
[17:59] <syberpuppy> i dont know if it installed grub, the live cd's install just asked me about partitions, some info and did all the work itself
[17:59] <bluefox83> robeph, http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2007/05/did-microsoft-just-patent-sudo.html
[17:59] <Strangelv> d0dge: if gdm or similar doesn't start automatically, there's probably a problem.  You may need to hack on xorg.conf
[17:59] <u_angel_> room, is there a way to turn on vnc server via ssh?
[18:00] <Strangelv> bluefox83: The patent office will let you patent anything these days.  Want to patent math that was solved 150 years ago? go right ahead!
[18:00] <bluefox83> u_angel, you mean is there a way to ssh into a machine and turn on the vnc service?
[18:01] <u_angel_> yes bluefox, please gimme some good news
[18:01] <bluefox83> i don't see why you couldn't...
[18:01] <bluefox83> so long as you had the access level required to do it on that machine...
[18:01] <syberpuppy> well... thanks guys anyway, i'll try another time
[18:02]  * Strangelv may need to do the same
[18:02] <u_angel_> bluefox| awsome, help a noob out. sudo vncturnon does not work
[18:02] <A51HQ> Hi all any one round to help?
[18:02] <erUSUL> d0dge: why don't you install {k,x, }ubuntu-desktop ??
[18:02] <u_angel_> a51hq| state your q first
[18:02] <Strangelv> A51HQ: plenty of people willing to help, it's just that we're here hoping for help ourselves
[18:02] <chadde> Can someone please help me connect to a mysql-server through the terminal?
[18:02] <bluefox83> u_angel, lol..i wouldn't think it would... it's likely something closer to sudo /etc/init.d/vnc-server start
[18:02] <TheEagle> how do i change my screen resolution
[18:02] <erUSUL> d0dge: instead of installing the pieces ono by one

[18:10] <linuxftw> oh.. umm what did you do to make it mess up?
[18:10] <TheEagle> Strangelv: any ideas?
[18:10] <bluefox83> aheckler, does getdeb have proper source.list type entry?
[18:10] <Strangelv> TheEagle: I don't know what xrandr is

[18:11] <linuxftw> hey ahenock
[18:11] <linuxftw> ./installer: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[18:11] <aheckler> bluefox83: well, i know you can add them to sources.list and then get updates, etc. from there, but i'm wondering if they have authentication, because it appears they dont
[18:11] <linuxftw> same error after i install lib
[18:11] <TheEagle> its something to type into console and change resolution i think
[18:11] <TheEagle> but you have to have a gui and won't work on a tty
[18:11] <linuxftw> !find libcrypto.so.0.9.7
[18:11] <Strangelv> bard1988: your problem is you need X to not be running, right?
[18:11] <ubotu> Package/file libcrypto.so.0.9.7 does not exist in gutsy
[18:11] <aheckler> bluefox83: which isnt really a huge deal, but if they do offer authentication, it'd be nice
[18:11] <bluefox83> aheckler, i wouldn't really bother with them anyways, most of the stuff they put on there is either in gutsy, or will likely be in backports at some point
[18:11] <linuxftw> D: omg
[18:11] <linuxftw> im dead..
[18:12] <bard1988> Strangelv: i want to run X - configure command
[18:12] <bard1988> Strangelv: but it keeps telling me
[18:12] <Strangelv> bard1988: try booting into single user mode -- or is it someone else I need to be telling thisL I can't keep track
[18:12] <aheckler> bluefox83, true but i like to live on the edge :-P
[18:12] <bard1988> Strangelv: boot what :P?
[18:12] <TheEagle> can anyone tell me how to use xrandr?
[18:12] <romantik> hello
[18:12] <romantik> i have a question
[18:12] <Strangelv> bard1988: in GRUB on bootup -- get it to list boot options
[18:12] <linuxftw> !find libcrypto.
[18:12] <ubotu> Found: libcrypto++-dev, libcrypto++-doc, libcrypto++-utils, libcrypto++6, libcryptokit-ocaml (and 1 others)
[18:13] <bard1988> Strangelv: how do i do that?
[18:13] <MilitantPotato> !backup > militantpotato
[18:13] <TheEagle> romantik: just ask your question and someone will try to answer it
[18:13] <bullgard4> [Gutsy, Gnome] Panel menu System > Beenden opens a dialog having 8 buttons. Where is the information, what programs are executed if I  press a button of them?
[18:13] <Strangelv> bard: GRUB comes up on boot.  In some situations it will present you wvith a menu by default
[18:13] <aheckler> bluefox83: just out of curiousity, how would one reverse those updates from getdeb? just remove their line from sources.list and then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?
[18:13] <Snowblind> how do i install soemthing from source files i downloaded?
[18:14] <Strangelv> bard1988: in others you'll need to hit something to force it to provide a menu
[18:14] <Strangelv> bard1988: no, I don't remember what to press
[18:14] <bullgard4> Snowblind: You should not. Rather download program packages from Ubuntu only.
[18:14] <bluefox83> aheckler, well, that'd clear it out of sources.list, but you'd need to remove each of the items you downloaded from them, yourself...
[18:14] <romantik> i have bought a 1 GB memory card for my MP4 player (microSD from SanDisk) and there was also a TransFlash Adapter... i wanna know what is that TransFlash Adapter for? it can't fit anywhere in the MP4 player's slots... is it for digital cameras?
[18:14] <Suva> Bleh, fun enough
[18:14] <Strangelv> Does anyone know how to shut down X Server without it starting instantly and without rebooting?
[18:14] <Snowblind> there is none for that specific program i need for my uni course
[18:15] <Suva> Ubuntu decided that it will start ignoring my soundcard
[18:15]  * Strangelv has sometimes needed this
[18:15] <Suva> Snowblind: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:15] <linuxftw> suvba disconnect it and reconnecvt
[18:15] <bard1988> Strangelv: thx anyway mate :p i go dancing with nmy GF :O lol
[18:15] <Suva> linuxftw: What?
[18:16] <bullgard4> Snowblind: What is the function of the specific university course program?
[18:16] <aheckler> bluefox83: hmm, perhaps there should be a way to do that, it seems weird that i'd have to manually reverse that, oh well... I'm happy with the new pidgin and tomboy
[18:16] <linuxftw> is it built in soundcard/
[18:16] <Suva> linuxftw: I am not going to dismember my laptop motherboard :P

[18:17] <b0lland> hi #ubuntu, is there a way that I can do a command like ls, but instead of displaying directory size, it displays maximum directory depth for each directory? or would I have to do that with a script or something?
[18:17] <Suva> b0lland: script
[18:18] <bullgard4> Snowblind: I do not know much about Java internals. You better get advised by more knowledgeable persons than me.

[18:26] <rockboxftw>  <== trmulousnerror
[18:26] <Thurin1> Is it possible to use Gparted on the same disk you are running it from?
[18:26] <b0lland> Suva: that's a long discussion, but generally because it's more intuitive than e.g. bash :)
[18:26] <Dr_willis> Thurin1,  no. Use a gparted live cd - is a better idea
[18:26] <irfan> I did that but it shows only 1024 x 780
[18:27] <romantik> i have bought a 1 GB memory card for my MP4 player (microSD from SanDisk) and there was also a TransFlash Adapter alongside with that 1 GB memory card... i wanna know what is that TransFlash Adapter for? it can't fit anywhere in the MP4 player's slots... is it for a digital camera perhaps or a mobile phone?
[18:27] <bluefox83> irfan, you might want to just configure xorg.conf with yoru desired resolution by hand...
[18:27] <Suva> b0lland: That's too short script though :P
[18:27] <rockboxftw> what's a mesa ??
[18:27] <Thurin1> Dr_willis: ;)
[18:27] <Thurin1> Dr_willis: Is Gparted 'safe' and by that I mean about as reliable as Partition magic?
[18:27] <rockboxftw> blue think you cna help me get tremulous running again.. it gave me  erSys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
[18:28] <Dr_willis> Thurin1,  given the TOTAL DISASTER that partition magic was for me.. I would say Gparted is very safe
[18:28] <Thurin1> I'm on EXT2... so a bad crash heh will not be a good thing :D
[18:28] <irfan> hey bro tried but then it starts crashing
[18:28] <Cyrus25801> bullgard4: i read the upgrade info on ubuntu website. it says i need to u apply all updates.but they are 350 mb. is there a way to update only essentials.

[18:28] <Dr_willis> Thurin1,  besides the company constantly $*&&@&@ me over for more $$ and the software not doing what i wanted.. then  them wanting more #$$ for updates.. yes..
[18:28] <erUSUL> Cyrus25801: you can only upgrade with the alternate cd the livecd can not be used to ugrade a system
[18:28] <rstanca> wifi that is
[18:28] <Thurin1> Cyrus25801: Yes, manual selection in Synaptic.

[18:32] <Cyrus25801> thanx again everyone
[18:32] <rockboxftw> hmmp ... cd scratched?
[18:32] <rockboxftw> what part isn;t working?
[18:32] <netdefiler> I've been having problems with getting a script to run every minute. It's setup as * * * * * root /etc/scripts/screenit.sh using crontab -e, and by editting /etc/crontab but it never seems to run the script. Any ideas?
[18:32] <erUSUL> Cyrus25801: if you requested it in shipit.ubuntu.com then *it* *is* the livecd
[18:32] <frederic> hello
[18:32] <Thurin1> T1m0thy: Should work - but with Ubuntu from what I can remember at times you need to manually place the flash plugin in /lib/mozilla or something.
[18:32] <rambo3> netdefiler, chmod +x ?
[18:33] <Thurin1> *sometimes* it usually works right from install :|
[18:33] <T1m0thy> rockboxftw: I loaded YouTube, went through the wizard, installed Adobe Flash. Restarted Firefox, wouldn't load. Then tried with Synaptic, etc.
[18:33] <Thurin1> T1m0thy: No no..
[18:33] <rockboxftw> umm did you install the "non-free" verison?
[18:33] <netdefiler> rambo3: it's 777'd
[18:33] <elvelind> hi. I'm having some troubles with installing mysql. after install I can't connect to it. normally there is a root user with no password.
[18:33] <netdefiler> but not +x
[18:33] <T1m0thy> rockboxftw: Yes.
[18:33] <Thurin1> T1m0thy: You must install it manually or from Synaptic the 'firefox' install is not good in Ubuntu i've found
[18:33] <rockboxftw> did you try da other one?
[18:33] <dlocaus> hello!
[18:33] <T1m0thy> ok
[18:34] <T1m0thy> Which? Gnash?
[18:34] <hitane> http://i8.tinypic.com/6ljyv49.png
[18:34] <Thurin1> Because usually your running X as a user and the install ... is better done as sudo/root
[18:34] <Suva> b0lland: ind /lib | sed 's:.*/\([^/]*\)/.*:\1:' | sort | uniq -c
[18:34] <Suva> b0lland: find /lib | sed 's:.*/\([^/]*\)/.*:\1:' | sort | uniq -c
[18:34] <Suva> b0lland: Ain't that simple and intuitive :P
[18:34] <b0lland> suva haha
[18:34] <b0lland> Suva thanks a lot
[18:34] <dlocaus> does anyone know how to recover a file from a harddrive that isn't mountable? (the start of the harddrive is fubar)?
[18:34] <hitane> http://i8.tinypic.com/6ljyv49.png <-- All I get when I click on the button. There are many wireless networks here
[18:34] <Sirisian> Anyone ever set up pykota? I guess you can't use the SVN version right? When I run the setup script it says it's broken
[18:34] <rockboxftw> dlocaus u can't:p
[18:34] <rockboxftw> waiy,
[18:34] <Thurin1> T1m0thy: google.com --- install flash player, download the linux version (the page should automatically link you to it) follow adobe's instructions - should work like a charm after 'ldconfig' as root.
[18:34] <rockboxftw> try slaving it
[18:35] <dlocaus> rockboxftw: slaving it?
[18:35] <irfan> I am still waiting some reply or issue
[18:35] <T1m0thy> Thurin1: Thanks.
[18:35] <rockboxftw> uugh umm  you have to add it to you hdd cables
[18:35] <Goosemoose> anyone used a network install and a preseed file with apt-cacher?
[18:35] <rockboxftw> and set jumpers to slave
[18:35] <Goosemoose> i keep getting told the specified mirror is not available or does not have a valid release file on it
[18:35] <fox88> can someone help me with opengl
[18:35] <dlocaus> rockboxftw: that is already been done.
[18:35] <Thurin1> T1m0thy: Yup, and don't forget to 'sudo ldconfig' whne you are done installing it as adobe instructs.
[18:35] <fox88> nvidia
[18:35] <rockboxftw> hmmp is it being read?
[18:35] <dlocaus> rockboxftw: the problem is that the "other" linux system refuses to mount it.
[18:36] <Thurin1> or else your libraries may not get updated and flash... sometimes will stay inactive ;)
[18:36] <rockboxftw> is the harddrive from a difrent pc?
[18:36] <dlocaus> rockboxftw: sometimes the bios recongizes the harddisk as actually existing, but other times, it won't see it.
[18:36] <dlocaus> rockboxftw: the HD is in a different PC now.
[18:36] <rockboxftw> becauseall operating system other then dos, 95,98 are non trasnferable thru boxes
[18:36] <netdefiler> rambo3: chmod +x didnt work
[18:36] <Thurin1> dlocaus: Your bios refuses to see the disk sometimes?
[18:36] <dlocaus> Thurin1: yes.
[18:36] <Thurin1> dlocaus: I'd start backing up - sounds to me like a drive on the way out.
[18:36] <Ryan_was_here> Anyone have the problem of Google earth hangning at the splash screen?
[18:36] <fox88> can someone help me set up opengl on LTS
[18:36] <justine_> hi

[18:37] <Sirisian> T1m0thy, http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash that's the version you need by the way
[18:37] <dlocaus> Thurin1: a bit passed that point... :), I can't even boot or mount it.
[18:37] <rockboxftw> is it the game error when u launch it?
[18:37] <Thurin1> fox88: You want mesa yeah
[18:37] <robeph> is there a util that does about the same as ls /etc/rcX.d?
[18:37] <rockboxftw> open in terminal
[18:37] <fox88> I CANT GET IT AT ALL
[18:37] <Thurin1> dlocaus: :| Oh noes! :|
[18:37] <fox88> no caps
[18:37] <justine_> I'd like to recursively scan a directory and print out all the files that have a specific character like é è and so on...
[18:37] <fox88> glxgears gives this
[18:37] <rockboxftw>  +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1
[18:37] <robeph> similar to gentoos rc-config show
[18:37] <Jimmey> I have put a bin file in /opt and put a link to it in /usr/local/bin - I thought that's all I needed to do to make it run from the command line - What else should I do?
[18:37] <fox88> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[18:37] <fox88> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[18:37] <justine_> in my loop echo $i | grep é doesn't work
[18:37] <netdefiler> where does the cron log file live?
[18:37] <bluefox83> wow it's weird seeing another fox from the 80's :P
[18:37] <robeph> justine_: ls -R <x> | grep ???
[18:38] <Thurin1> dlocaus: Hrmm, you know what you should do? last ditch effort? - try to 'mount' it .. in Windows with the EXT3 driver... you might be able to save .. some data maybe
[18:38] <rockboxftw> luls
[18:38] <dlocaus> Thurin1: Is there some program that will read the harddisk in block mode and try and figure ou the OS from there?
[18:38] <dlocaus> Thurin1: sorry, figure out the files from there?
[18:38] <Thurin1> dlocaus: Yes and no.. there is yes, but they are highly experimental and .. could damage whatever data you have on the disk
[18:38] <justine_> robeph, i am doing for i in $( ls -R ); do echo $i | grep é done and it doesn't work
[18:38] <dlocaus> Thurin1: I hadn't thought of that, I'll check around for windows EXT3 driver
[18:39] <b0lland> suva: thanks for the effort but it doesn't seem to get the count right for some reason
[18:39] <rambo3> netdefiler, ok you should ask again, maby somone else  knows
[18:39] <Thurin1> dlocaus: Well there is a drive for windows which allows the mounting of EXT3 disks - since windows has so much less 'requirements' for a 'good' disk - you may be able to see inside it and save what you need from it.
[18:39] <robeph> justine_: why all that?
[18:39] <huss> please help me how to restore my ubuntu?
[18:39] <robeph> doesn't just ls -R | grep X work?
[18:39] <goodhabit> Hello. When I was installing ubuntu gutsy, I choosed option to do not install GRUB. How I can install it now with ubuntu-auto configuration it?
[18:39] <justine_> i'll try robeph
[18:39] <Suva> b0lland: Haha, okay, let me check
[18:40] <dlocaus> Thurin1: do you know of any programs that will look at a harddisk as a device to read, instead of a storage mechanisem to mount?
[18:40] <Thurin1> dlocaus: ;) yeah give it a shot.. windows like I said is not as strict as what is a 'good' or 'bad' disk - but if EXT3 driver and windows can't do it .. i'm afraid your disk is beyond hope.. unless you go to a real pro at data recovery I guess
[18:40] <robeph> dlocaus: you trying to just read the contents?
[18:40] <Thurin1> dlocaus: Heh.. windows
[18:40] <dlocaus> robeph: I just need 1 file from that harddisk...
[18:40] <justine_> yes it works robeph, thanks. Any way to have the absolute pathway printed out instaed of just the filename?
[18:40] <dlocaus> robeph: I was smart enough to back it up, just not to a different system.
[18:40] <gaoyang> is安逸body
[18:40] <robeph> dlocaus: eh,  well see,  you're misisng what mounting does
[18:40] <robeph> it doesn't just "mount the disk"
[18:41] <gaoyang> is any body here?
[18:41] <robeph> it mounts the disk and supplies the correct method for access that block devices specific filesystem
[18:41] <robeph> ie ext2 / 3  reiser ntfs etc
[18:41] <Thurin1> In windows I used the EXT3 driver to salvage data from an old IBM 175MB disk which Linux would not mount with kernel panics and god knows what else.
[18:41] <Dr_willis> gaoyang,  Just us Linux Nerds :)
[18:41] <netdefiler> I've been having problems with getting a script to run every minute. It's setup as * * * * * root /etc/scripts/screenit.sh using crontab -e, and by editting /etc/crontab but it never seems to run the script. Any ideas?
[18:41] <robeph> if you just read it right out,  you're gonna get a mess
[18:41] <robeph> you really cannot get any simpler than just mounting it,
[18:41] <robeph> afaik
[18:42] <Jimmey> What do I have to do to make a binary run from the command line by just typing it's name?
[18:42] <Thurin1> Back ups are always best on removable media dlocaus ;) keep that in mind.. get some CD-RWS and get used to it haha
[18:42] <dlocaus> robeph: humm, I was hoping that a recovery program would be able to find information on the device.. since linux is self-defragmenting, it could do it w/o the superblock.
[18:42] <robeph> Jimmey: put it in your path
[18:42] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  ./whateverthethingis
[18:42] <samgranieri> what's the best way to turn an ubuntu desktop with gnome installed into a headless server?
[18:42] <gaoyang> Dr_willis....
[18:42] <robeph> dlocaus:  is the fs busted?
[18:42] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  assuming its excecutable.
[18:42] <Thurin1> dlocaus: Linux is picky you see
[18:42] <Suva> b0lland: Sure, i was stupid :P
[18:42] <dlocaus> robeph: I believe so.
[18:42] <robeph> dlocaus: it's a screwed up file system on there?
[18:42] <gaoyang> hee
[18:42] <dlocaus> robeph: it is a bit hard to find out.
[18:42] <AngryElf> I'm looking to get a new laptop, and I want the wireless and video to work amazingly well out of the box w/ Ubuntu Gutsy -- any recommendations?
[18:42] <Jimmey> robeph, Dr_willis, it's in /opt/ with a link to it in /usr/local/bin/
[18:42] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,  install the services.. remove the monitor. :)
[18:42] <b0lland> suva: oh yeah?
[18:42] <dlocaus> robeph: I can't find out.  I can't mount it.
[18:43] <robeph> Jimmey: is it set as executable
[18:43] <Suva> b0lland: Actually it's even simpler :P
[18:43] <Thurin1> Windows is not picky.. you can have bad errors and totally skip disk checks :) not so in Linux for the most part
[18:43] <robeph> dlocaus: why not?
[18:43] <Jimmey> AngryElf, you can buy a computer with Ubuntu on it from Dell
[18:43] <b0lland> suva you're such a tease
[18:43] <robeph> dlocaus:  I mean there's a ton of reasons you couldn't mount tihngs
[18:43] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  try giving the full path to the binary
[18:43] <dlocaus> robeph: when I try and boot from it, logical sectors 0-7 are bad, and then nothing happens.
[18:43] <Suva> b0lland: It's simplest in ruby though ;D
[18:43] <Jimmey> robeph, I've chmod + x it
[18:43] <robeph> dlocaus: boot from livecd and try mounting it?
[18:43] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, what do you mean?
[18:43] <Thurin1> AngryElf: Yeah, go search the net for Laptops which are known to work well with Ubuntu ;D
[18:43] <samgranieri> Dr_willis:  i'm trying to remove X and everything that depends on it, so that I can just ssh into the box
[18:43] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  /whatever/the/path/to/the/darn/thing/command
[18:43] <robeph> Jimmey: /usr/local/bin/<filename>
[18:43] <Thurin1> AngryElf: I'd stay away from the Sony's though...
[18:43] <gaoyang> there are so many guys
[18:43] <linduxed> my kopete icon doesnt go to the tray anymore..just a miniwindow instead
[18:43] <b0lland> Suva: pretty please with sugar on top?
[18:44] <robeph> make sure that your path route is actually pointing to the correct bin
[18:44] <dlocaus> I've tried mounting it a "recovery" concel that came w/ 7.10
[18:44] <dlocaus> but it just gave me invalid argument.
[18:44] <bullgard4> [Gutsy, Gnome] Panel menu System > Beenden opens a dialog having 8 buttons. Where is the information, what programs are executed if I  press a button of them?
[18:44] <Thurin1> linduxed: Have you checked your options in Kopete?
[18:44] <robeph> dlocaus: hrm,  i dunno really tbh =(
[18:44] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, robeph, right, but it would be nice if I could just type the name of the binary into the terminal, in this case mobmc, and have it run - How can I do that?
[18:44] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,  an ISSUE can be if the hd has an probllem. the boot up messages will mention the disk scanning, and request input.   You may want to keep a cheap/small monitor on it. or handy.
[18:44] <Sergo> hello, i have an problem..
[18:44] <dlocaus> robeph: ok, well thank you!
[18:44] <linduxed> Thurin1: well everything was right before reboot
[18:44] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  check your PATH $PATH, it may be your pathis just messed up
[18:44] <samgranieri> the HD is fine
[18:45] <ItchyHobo> Jimmey, make an alias 4 it in bash.rc
[18:45] <dlocaus> Thurin1: thank you too, but I've gone to USB thumb drives, those 1G SD cards are really cheap now... :)
[18:45] <Sergo> the flashplugin-nonfree cannot be installed
[18:45] <Thurin1> linduxed: You should still check your options, if that is not the problem.. easiest - synaptic, remove - re-install and see what happens.
[18:45] <linduxed> Thurin1: oh and i get a "cannot talk to klauncher message"
[18:45] <Sergo> i get The Flash plugin is NOT installed
[18:45] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,  it is RIGHT NOW.. but what about next week.. when you are somewhere else and cant ssh in.  because it rebooted and is waiting for you to hit ctrl-d to continue..
[18:45] <Thurin1> dlocaus: This is true this is true - but I still dont trust them lol haha. -- Personal taste :P
[18:45] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, robeph, thanks
[18:45] <samgranieri> only I ssh into the box for now
[18:45] <robeph> is there an ubuntu utility that works similar to the gentoo: rc-config show
[18:46] <robeph> (shows the runlevel / init script states etc)
[18:46] <Thurin1> linduxed: Ahh... well just 'run' - klauncher
[18:46] <samgranieri> Dr_willis: and someone else has acess to the box, and knows how to use ssh
[18:46] <dlocaus> Thurin1: I don't trust them either, I've heard of lots of failures.  However, I doubt they will both fail at the same time.
[18:46] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,  Ive seen it happen to others in here.   They got stuck couldent ssh in.
[18:46] <Thurin1> dlocaus: I sure hope not... :|
[18:46] <mikebeecham> Hi guys...I could do with some help...I've just rebooted my machine to discover that all my shared folders have disappeared....there is no indication of them in 'places' etc....but I dont know what caused this?
[18:46] <RoBz18> Installing ubuntu to a USB stick, I use this command: cp -rf casper disctree dists install pics pool preseed .disk isolinux/* md5sum.txt README.diskdefines ubuntu.ico casper/vmlinuz casper/initrd.gz /media/ubuntu710/
[18:46] <RoBz18> But I just get that there is no such file or directory
[18:46] <RoBz18> Any ideas what the problem could be?
[18:46] <samgranieri> Dr_willis:  i have console access. this is in my office
[18:46] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,  so do whatever you want. I advice keepiong a spare monitor handy just in case.
[18:46] <anton__> hi i am using xubuntu and my mesa/opengl isnt working
[18:46] <samgranieri> Dr_willis: there's a monitor connected to the server anyway. i'm fine
[18:46]  * Dr_willis frogot the original question. :)
[18:47] <sharperguy> what is proc?
[18:47] <cox377> my external HD is /media/extHD/ is that classified as being mounted?
[18:47] <samgranieri> Dr_willis: i'm taking a linux desktop with gnome and x installed down to a headless server
[18:47] <anton__> but i dont know what todo, my graphiccard is intel gma950
[18:47] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,  'headless' = no monitor.  so you just sort of contridicted yourself.
[18:47] <huss> please any private help to restore my defected ubuntu
[18:47] <Dr_willis> remove X if youy want. or just dont start the gdm/kdm service.
[18:48] <Ereal1> hello eveyone
[18:48] <samgranieri> ah... i thought headless meant no-x
[18:48] <Ereal1> umm question
[18:48] <Dr_willis> samgranieri,   :)
[18:48] <mikebeecham> Hi guys...I could do with some help...I've just rebooted my machine to discover that all my shared folders have disappeared....there is no indication of them in 'places' etc....but I dont know what caused this?
[18:48] <mikebeecham> can anyone help?
[18:48] <Dr_willis> why even bother removing X.
[18:48] <Dr_willis> its not taking up that much space. and ya could alweays set up xdmcp on the thing later if needed.
[18:48] <ashkore> Is it useful being able to program in c or c++ in linux?
[18:49] <Thurin1> Dr_willis: I have no X..
[18:49] <Thurin1> :|
[18:49] <Thurin1> X annoys me...
[18:49] <ItchyHobo> mikebeecham, were u using windows?
[18:49] <Dr_willis> Thurin1,  I got Enough X for 3 of us. :) XxX.
[18:49] <Ereal1> very
[18:49] <Thurin1> Dr_willis: haha
[18:49] <Ereal1> python more so in ubuntu
[18:49] <samgranieri> ashkore:  yes, it is
[18:49]  * Dr_willis installs W on Thurin1 's box.
[18:49] <Dr_willis> or was it called Y.
[18:49] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, are the directories still there physically? just cus they are gone from places doesn't mean they are necassarily gone
[18:49] <Thurin1> Much better ;D
[18:49] <Thurin1> Presidential edition
[18:49] <Thurin1> hehe
[18:49] <ashkore> samgranieri: ok thanks, how do you recomend i do this?
[18:49] <Ereal1> C and c++ as I know it are the most widely use programs
[18:50] <mikebeecham> ItchyHobo: no...I've been on Linux for about a week or so...everything was fine this morning...all my shares were there.  I come home, add some lines to my menu.lst...reboot, and now they are not there
[18:50] <samgranieri> ashkore: i'd use gcc
[18:50] <Dr_willis> I recall some guy making a alterantive to X,  but that was years ago.
[18:50] <ashkore> samgranieri: i mean, which tutorial would you recommend?
[18:50] <samgranieri> ashkore: google around for an introductory class or webpage for how to use gcc for c
[18:50] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: all references to the shared folders are gone, with the exception of 'shared folders'.  The path is still there, but tells me it is inaccessible
[18:50] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, try sudo mount -a
[18:50] <samgranieri> ashkore: i dont know
[18:50] <Thurin1> Dr_willis: I've heard of people making alternatives to flash as well which I really hope happens.
[18:51] <Ereal1> anyone know why ubuntu 7.10 no longer has a splash at bootup and why it take longer to load all I get is a bage screen ?.....
[18:51] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, samba shared or nfs?
[18:51] <ashkore> samgraneri: are there any tutorials about learning linux?
[18:51] <cox377> hello all, is /media/extHD a mount point?
[18:51]  * Ereal1 is this just me?!
[18:51] <mikebeecham> thats a good point bluefox83 my mounted drives are not visible on my desktop
[18:51] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: samba
[18:51] <Thurin1> Dr_willis: Well there is one alternative to X that actually works.. but it's not the best ever since compatibility is quite low.. for anything besides the included apps - I forget the name but its on the xwinman or.. winman site
[18:51] <ashkore> because i am only 15 and have only just started using it after 10 years of windows
[18:51] <Nirevus> I'm currently trying to install a driver through NDISWrapper; the installation guide tells me to run "depmod -a" and make sure it doesn't error. However it gives me a FATAL error, but the documentation doesn't tell me what to do. Any help?
[18:51] <Ereal1> ashkore dl books or just his the forums
[18:51] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, you might want to check your samba config file and make sure it didn't somehow get erased...
[18:51] <Ereal1> or just hang around and lern
[18:52] <Ereal1> etherway if your new
[18:52] <david__> Woohoo
[18:52] <david__> wireless works
[18:52] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: neither of my mounted drives are visible..
[18:52] <Ereal1> it just a matter of playing around with it and time...
[18:52] <samgranieri> ashkore: welcome to the wonderful world of opensource
[18:52] <david__> I got the answer from a fedora forum...
[18:52] <samgranieri> ashkore: you could use a program like kdevelop or anjuta if you like the gui
[18:52] <ashkore> lol - what does that exactly mean?
[18:52]  * david__ don't you feel bad...
[18:52] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46992/
[18:53] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, is it at all possible that you had a second partition with ubuntu installed on it?
[18:53]  * Ereal1 who here has amd64bit box?
[18:53] <ItchyHobo> ashkore, means welcome to the real world of computing
[18:53] <robeph> is there an ubuntu utility that works similar to the gentoo: rc-config show
[18:53] <robeph> (shows the runlevel / init script states etc)
[18:53]  * linduxed has one
[18:53] <danbhfive> Nirevus: what does depmod -a do?  also, I can give you a different guide...
[18:53] <david__> AR5006EG  if you have that wireless card, I can tell you how to use it with madwifi
[18:53] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: ..setup as follows: primary HDD =- two partitions - windows and linux 7.10
[18:53]  * samgranieri agrees with ItchyHobo
[18:53] <Ereal1> has anyone had the problem of flash not having sound and if so, have you8 found a fix
[18:53] <david__> not ndiswrapper
[18:53] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: secondary HDD called 'media' with all my shares
[18:54] <MurielGodoi> Hi, can I just delete the files under /var/cache/apt to save disk space, or there is a right way to do that?
[18:54] <Nirevus> danbhfive: it doesn't say, it simply tells you to run it and make sure it doesn't error. Any other help would be appreciated.
[18:54] <ItchyHobo> ashkore, if you are using ubuntu the built in help is a pretty good place to start
[18:54] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: samba.conf is still there
[18:54] <ashkore> ok cheers (y)
[18:54] <ashkore> * sorry, used to msn emoticons
[18:54] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, ok, well it sounded like you discovered a second ubuntu partition or something...cus samba and fstab don't just suddenly lose their config files...
[18:54] <mikebeecham> I think it is down to my drives not being mounted
[18:55] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, check /etc/fstab
[18:55] <samgranieri> does anyone know how to take an ubuntu install from base server (no x, no gnome) to a fully functioning linux desktop? i tried doing this earlier and I couldnt get hte mouse driver to work at all
[18:55] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, once you make sure it's all sorted, just sudo mount -a and then i think just restart samba...
[18:55] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: there is no /fstab
[18:56] <robeph> samgranieri: whatcha mean mouse driver?
[18:56] <mikebeecham> sdorry I found it
[18:56] <robeph> for X?
[18:56] <Nirevus> danbhfive: Fixed my own problem.
[18:56] <cox377> basically, i've got app that is looking for an external HDD, is /media/FREECOM HDD/Downloads/ counted as a mounted point?
[18:56] <ashkore> i used the Screens and Graphics Manager to change my resolution choices so i could select 1280x1024. i then used xrandr -s 0/1280x1024 and my resolution was successfully changed. I restarted my computer and the login screen appeared at the correct resolution then when i logged in it just changed. how can i get it to stay at 1280x1024 when i login
[18:56] <samgranieri> robeph: yeah, for X.
[18:56] <robeph> when you say can't get it working
[18:56] <danbhfive> nirevus, good
[18:56] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, you have no idea how bad it woulda been to nto have an /etc/fstab :X
[18:56] <bluefox83> *not
[18:56] <ashkore> and what does 'X' mean, everybody seems to be using it
[18:56] <robeph> do you mean you dunno what to tell it the mouse device is?  ie /dev/psaux /dev/mouse or /dev/mice etc?
[18:56] <mikebeecham> bluefox83: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46993
[18:57] <robeph> ashkore: its what happens when you break up with your girlfriend
[18:57] <samgranieri> robeph: im not sure. i just ripped all the x and gnome stuff out of my system and reverted it to just a server
[18:57] <robeph> X = X11,   xorg
[18:57] <samgranieri> X11
[18:57] <huss> would any body on the private help me and it will be about that"I was uninstalling xfce-desktop And I marked many things to uninstall then synaptic stoped and ubuntu loged out then it didn't come back "plz if answer will be here write xfce at first
[18:57] <ItchyHobo> !X11
[18:57] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[18:57] <ashkore> whats is X11?
[18:57] <ashkore> and xorg
[18:57] <robeph> xorg/x11 is the thing that makes linux pretty
[18:58] <ashkore> the gui?
[18:58] <ItchyHobo> ashkore, the purty grphixx
[18:58] <robeph> well actually that's compiz/beryl
[18:58] <robeph> but
[18:58] <ashkore> so x = gui
[18:58] <huss> should i reinstall ununtu
[18:58] <huss> ?
[18:58] <robeph> no
[18:58] <samgranieri> ashkore: , yes the gui
[18:58] <ItchyHobo> ashkore, yep gooey
[18:58] <robeph> X is not a gui
[18:58] <robeph> thats the funny thing
[18:58] <robeph> x is a server
[18:58] <robeph> =s
[18:58] <ashkore> lol
[18:58] <robeph> it's confusions
[18:58] <robeph> but yeh,  it'll suffice to assume it's a gui
[18:58] <bluefox83> mikebeecham, i forget how samba handles shares...i don't remember you mount them, or you just restart the samba client...
[18:58] <robeph> but technically...sorta no
[18:58] <Dr_willis> robeph,  as purty as a 100lb hooker with 100lb of makeup. :)
[18:58] <ItchyHobo> don't scare em ;)
[18:58] <samgranieri> ashkore: robeph is right. X is actually the windowing server. the gui is something like gnome
[18:58] <goodhabit> Hello. When I was installing ubuntu gutsy, I choosed option to do not install GRUB. How I can install it now with ubuntu-auto configuration it?
[18:58] <robeph> Dr_willis: compiz is pretty :(
