[06:02] <Neurologic> unfo, I have -_- You didn't answer.
[06:02] <abortd> !ndis wrapper > me
[06:03] <drunk> if your installing flash to use with konqueror sometimes you have to register the .so file in the preferences matthias djhash
[06:03] <unfo> Neurologic:  oops I will look again.
[06:03] <tilkster> righti  knw the adress
[06:03] <unfo> needhelpnoob:  don't tell me, tell everyone.  All on one line.

[06:03] <naenae87> is there a better room then this because no on is helping me
[06:03] <drunk> abortd.. ndiswrapper?
[06:03] <tilkster> svn checkout
[06:03] <tilkster> svn checkout "website"
[06:03] <tilkster> and it will DL the stuff?
[06:03] <alex_mayorga1> naenae87: try to run this in a terminal "lspci | grep etwork"
[06:04] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga1-> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/71213/  this is yours, i would remove all the # from line 5 to line 15 assuming those interfaces are available
[06:04] <needhelpnoob> ok guys. i type this into console: grub> find /usr/lib/grub/x86_64/stage1. i get file not found error. what do i do?

[06:04] <drunk> what's your question
[06:04] <naenae87> ok ill try it
[06:04] <djhash> !patience | naenae87
[06:04] <abortd> !ndiswrapper > me
[06:04] <Flannel> tilkster: Thats a common configuration, you'll be able to get specific instructins from the project itself.
[06:04] <drumstyk1> hey guys, is there a command to list ethernet connections?
[06:04] <naenae87> lol
[06:04] <nite_johnboy> What is fastest - easiest way to turn off computer - Running Intrepid Ibex ? ?
[06:04] <crashatau> drumstyk: ifconfig :)
[06:04] <matthias> djhash:  thanks for your opinions, i will try it, thnaks again, and the movieworks great, thanks to you ...
[06:04] <grendal_prime> ya the releases never resolves and the ip never comes through ither..werid..i found a copy somewere else though thanks guys.
[06:05] <drumstyk1> thanks crashatau
[06:05] <djhash> naenae87: did you check forums... google.. documentation..
[06:05] <alex_mayorga1> n8tuser: do I need to add a wmaster0 too?
[06:05] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga1-> nope
[06:05] <unfo> nite_johnboy:  pull the plug.  But it will wreck your computer.
[06:06] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga1-> after the mods, you just have to type   /etc/init.d/network restart  no need to reboot
[06:06] <nite_johnboy> unfo: funny guy -
[06:06] <Flannel> unfo: Please don't give bad answers, if they are tongue in cheek
[06:06] <drumstyk1> nite_johnboy: can't you just click on your name in the top right and select "shutdown"?
[06:06] <drunk> i've configured my /etc/network/interfaces file Flannel crashatau... used auto eth0 inet static and added an address line with an IP and a subnet line with the subnet mask. ran /etc/init.d/networking restart and when I if config it doesn't list the IP i hardcoded in the interfaces file.  am i missing something?
[06:07] <Flannel> nite_johnboy: `sudo shutdown -h now` is equivalent to a few things, but that's certainly a way to shut it down.
[06:07] <naenae87> i need a website
[06:07] <fryguy> nite_johnboy: if your computer supports acpi and is configured correctly, pressing (not holding) the power button on your computer will bring up a dialog for shutting the machine down safely.  If configured correctly, I believe this is the easiest way to shut down a machine
[06:07] <naenae87> that tells me how to do this
[06:07] <naenae87> i got one last time
[06:07] <faryshta> drumstyk1, ifconfig
[06:07] <naenae87> oh ya ALEX that comand you gave me did nothing
[06:08] <n8tuser> drunk-> look at the interfaces file, the mods you made are still there?
[06:08] <drunk> i've erased them since
[06:08] <alex_mayorga1> n8tuser: does this one looks beter http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/71225/ ?
[06:08] <PUNISHER> Hi all!
[06:08] <n8tuser> drunk-> re-insert them and do same steps
[06:08] <nite_johnboy> drumstykl: I do not see my user name on screen anywhere vsince I upgraded to Ibex.
[06:08] <drumstyk1> thanks faryshta, i am trying to find the "device interface" of my windows mobile phone so i can add it to /interfaces
[06:09] <djhash> naenae87: when you ran that command.. was the usb wifi card plugged in?
[06:09] <unfo> Flannel:  good point.
[06:09] <unfo> nite_johnboy:  press the Shut Down button.  How slow is it?  Is it especially slow on your PC?
[06:09] <drunk> i just leave it blank.. while the verbose start up is going loading network fails.. but i can connect with a systray network manager icon which icons' slightly off color so i don't really mess withit
[06:09] <naenae87> yes
[06:09] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga1-> yeah that looks good, but now you will have both eth0 and wlan0 connected to same router, perhaps comment out one of them
[06:09] <djhash> naenae87: is there an LED on the wifi.. to show that its turned on.. when you plug it in.. or does it even not turn on
[06:10] <nite_johnboy> Flannel: Thanks - Might try that - Since I upgraded to Ibex - Have to use Ctrl+alt+delete to log out then (2) more steps before I actually select to turn off computer - Kind of annoying !
[06:10] <faryshta> Ahh then open nautilus and on go Places->Network.
[06:10] <faryshta> drumstyk1,
[06:10] <drunk> i just leave it blank.. while the verbose start up is going loading network fails.. but i can connect with a systray network manager icon which icons' slightly off color so i don't really mess withit n8tuser
[06:10] <drunk> ok n8.. will edit the file
[06:10] <PUNISHER> men, how I can make up my webcam Ali corp?
[06:11] <PUNISHER> on Bisoncam chipset
[06:11] <n8tuser> drunk-> i am not fond of gui, i dont know what other options is available to be clicked on the gui
[06:11] <naenae87> ya
[06:11] <naenae87> its got a light
[06:11] <drunk> n8tuser, i'm currently using my ethernet connection.. so that would disable my connection if i restart the network with those settings correct?
[06:12] <drunk> nevermind
[06:12] <fryguy> I'm running gnome on a remote X server.  It's running very slowly though.    Will this speed up gnome?  I have a picture of the process list (warning, the image is quite large, approximately 4.5mb): http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/xclient.png -- If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong and what x client to run to speed things up it would be appreciated.
[06:12] <n8tuser> drunk-> yeah it will
[06:12] <djhash> naenae87: ok.. type this.. "dmesg | tail"
[06:12] <n8tuser> !who | naenae87
[06:13] <nite_johnboy> fryguy: I have a fairly new rig - latest dual core - 4gb's ram etc. etc. power house - this could be another option. If you read what I posted Flannel - this explains my problem.
[06:13] <PUNISHER> oh my God...

[06:15] <faryshta> tilkster, you can use rm -rf directory/
[06:15] <fryguy> tilkster: so remove those things. you can also use rm -r to recursively remove the contents of a directory.  it removes everything though, so be careful
[06:16] <faryshta> but I don'r recommend it.
[06:16] <bazhang_> virmin, no cursing here
[06:16] <tilkster> sweet!
[06:16] <tilkster> thanks

[06:19] <mylisto> hey everyone
[06:19] <mylisto> wondering if anyone knows how to get mp3 functions (exporting) working with audacity
[06:19] <mylisto> in pclinux I just had to search for libmp3lame in the packager...
[06:19] <mylisto> but I can't find out how to do it in ubuntu
[06:20] <fryguy> lgc: are you behind a device doing firewall duties or Network address translation? are you sure the daemon is running
[06:20] <abortd> !compiz < ferronica
[06:20] <mylisto> I think I can drag the libmp3lame folder into /usr/lib
[06:20] <virmin> Ooops, forgot I was on the run there!!!
[06:20] <mylisto> but when I try that I get access denied...
[06:20] <n8tuser> drunk-> i dont know what your networking restart script saw and spit out the error..
[06:20] <unfo> virmin:  please keep non-support to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:20] <mylisto> How do I switch over to admin?
[06:21] <faryshta> drumstyk1, then on nautilus go /media/
[06:21] <faryshta> or computer:///
[06:21] <drunk> did you look at my interfaces file.. does it look correct?
[06:21] <drunk> n8tuser,
[06:21] <lgc> fryguy, so says the log file. I can also do 'ssh localhost' sucessfully. But when I try it with the IP address, it won't do.
[06:21] <n8tuser> drunk-> thats a script by the way, so you can edit and see what it does step by step
[06:21] <fryguy> lgc: from what machine
[06:21] <After_Math> i Know this isnt a windows channel but when I tried to install windows on a partition, I used windows to delete a partition, and create a new one, then when I click next, it says that the format or something about the new partition is insufficient for windows install and doesnt procede, wtf?
[06:22] <lgc> fryguy, when I do 'ssh IP_of_my_machine', if that's what you mean.
[06:22] <unfo> After_Math:  OT.  to ##windows please.
[06:22] <naenae87> djhash check your private msgs i wrote you
[06:22] <drumstyk1> faryshta: i really appreciate the pointers but nothing new is showing up there :(
[06:22] <unfo> naenae87: djhash: could you please keep it public?
[06:23] <n8tuser> drunk looks okay to me
[06:23] <fryguy> lgc: from where?
[06:23] <paul68> n8tuser: I did use my external ip aswell and the only thing I could see was that I'm at telenet.be but could not see any names and stuff like you got with that guy
[06:23] <djhash> unfo: n
[06:23] <drunk> would i put the host & domain name in that file as well n8tuser??
[06:23] <faryshta> then on nautilus go Places->Media or Places->Computer
[06:24] <givemeaname> anyone having trouble installing the wow expansion?
 You can now speak again. Please ask your question, giving the relevant Pastebin URL.

[06:25] <After_Math> when did #wine become invite only?
[06:25] <lgc> fryguy, from wherever I try: from my machine called "x", as in 'ssh user@x' or from a remote machine "y" I'm connected to.
[06:25] <BigUrsis> After_Math→ guessing wow release
[06:25] <Flannel> After_Math: #winehq
[06:25] <fryguy> lgc: are these machines on the same network segment?
[06:25] <virmin> don't strike me down!!!
[06:25] <lgc> fryguy, not at all.
[06:25] <giacomo> could someone help me please? I've " Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" on just compiled virtualbox-ose
[06:26] <fryguy> lgc: so then there's likely a firewall or device doing network address translation in the way
[06:26] <n8tuser> paul68-> also i said its dependent on the name server too
[06:26] <unfo> giacomo:  no clue, sorry.  But do you get the same error message on precompiled virtualbox-ose from apt?
[06:26] <lgc> fryguy, I've enabled port 22 on my router.
[06:27] <giacomo> yes unfo
[06:27] <alex_mayorga> n8tuser, didn't help
[06:27] <giacomo> the same for vlc
[06:27] <giacomo> I'm compiling vlc right now
[06:27] <fryguy> lgc: "enabled?" is it forwarded to the correct machine?
[06:27] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga-> what happened?
[06:27] <alex_mayorga> n8tuser, I've now removed everything but lo, still no go
[06:27] <sjovan_> After_Math: it's winehq
[06:27] <unfo> giacomo:  let me verify: you get the error message "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" on precompiled virtualbox-ose from apt????
[06:28] <lgc> fryguy, you got me there.
[06:28] <After_Math> sjovan_, thanks
[06:28] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga-> your the one with broadcom bcm43xx chip right?  i can not assist you on that, i've lost too much hair already..hehe
[06:28] <giacomo> unfo, pvt
[06:28] <unfo> giacomo:  it is better not to PM without asking first.
[06:28] <paul68> n8tuser: ok thanks
[06:28] <unfo> giacomo:  let's keep it in channel.
[06:28] <fryguy> lgc: the router needs to know what to do with those ssh packets when it sees them
[06:28] <giacomo> ok
[06:28] <giacomo> yes, I receive the same message
[06:28] <alex_mayorga> n8tuser, no problems, thanks on trying anyway, that would teach me to go all intel next time :)
[06:28]  * drunk uses a broadcom bcmxx chip set alex_mayorga
[06:28] <jonna> alex_mayorga: I too am working on a BCM43xx right now, and need assistance.
[06:29] <unfo> giacomo:  odd.  And vbox doesn't start?
[06:29] <n8tuser> paul68-> you're welcome, good luck
[06:29] <jonna> So I'm guessing I just missed all of the broadcom help?
[06:29] <giacomo> no
[06:29] <giacomo> the same for vlc, qtconfig, keepassx
[06:29] <[T]ank> i have an shell script i have built and the last command i have in it is /etc/init.d/gdm restart. It brings gdm down but never comes back up. if i just run that command from terminal it works right... what do i do differently in a shell script to make that happen correctly?
[06:29] <paul68> jonna alex_mayorga  what version of ubuntu are you working on?
[06:29] <lgc> fryguy, can't I suppose the router is doing the correct thing since we are speaking, or is it application-specific?
[06:29] <alex_mayorga> 8.10
[06:30] <givemeaname> i need to copy a file from cd to hdd, is there someone who can tell me how to do it with a terminal via sudo command, or to give my user permissions to do it via click and drag?
[06:30] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga-> me and several others just cant somehow get bcm43xx to work ..thats all, some are able to make it work though
[06:30] <fryguy> lgc: you initiated an outgoing connection to irc.  ssh is an incoming connection to the router, they behave differently
[06:30] <alex_mayorga> how do I reset all my networking configs to a clean state, just in case?
[06:30] <rdw200169_> [T]ank: probably has something to do with the $DISPLAY variable
[06:30] <drunk> i use 8.10.. still not sure how i got my linksys wireless card to work, it connects though
[06:30] <paul68> alex_mayorga: can you check in system admin hardware drivers to see if your card is there?
[06:30] <unfo> giacomo:  that is odd.  What have you tried to resolve the problem so far?  (For quicker response, write "unfo: " at the beginning of each line you write to me.  Otherwise I cannot guarantee any response at all.)
[06:30] <lgc> fryguy, okey, so how do I find out. Ifconfig?
[06:30] <alex_mayorga> n8tuser, is ndiswraper an option for me?
[06:30] <[T]ank> rdw200169_: never messed with that, what do i do different?
[06:30] <fryguy> lgc: sure
[06:31] <alex_mayorga> paul68, it's there and activated
[06:31] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga-> a very good possibility yes, ndiswrapper
[06:31] <rdw200169_> [T]ank: just specify that DISPLAY=:0 in your script, that could help
[06:31] <alex_mayorga> !ndiswrapper
[06:31] <giacomo> unfo, I really need virtualbox please unfo help me in tracking down the problem, it's a week that I'm fighting. I've checked ldd timestamps of the libs
[06:31] <[T]ank> so just a line that says DISPLY=:0
[06:31] <[T]ank> thats it?
[06:31] <giacomo> unfo, I've gdb backtrace too
[06:31] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga-> also try it without  encryption too, just to get it going, then you can add it later
[06:32] <paul68> alex_mayorga: ok and what if you check under hidden wifi etwork and you enter your credentials there what is going to happen?
[06:32] <alex_mayorga> n8tuser, how do I nuke all so I "start clean"?
[06:32] <unfo> giacomo:  do you know how to find the key 3 lines of the backtrace?  can you tell me them?
[06:32] <drunk> giacomo.. theres a way to download virtualbox, the non-OSE edition from the virtualbox website.. download via the .deb file after you remove the OSE version & see if it works
[06:32] <lgc> fryguy, 'inet dirección:<IP_ADDRESS>  Difusión:<IP_ADDRESS>  Máscara:<IP_ADDRESS>', as regards eth1. But that is general info, not ssh-specific.
[06:32] <n8tuser> alex_mayorga-> what you got now is clean enuff to start off fresh
[06:32] <rdw200169_> [T]ank: yeah, set the environment variable in the scriopt
[06:32] <fryguy> lgc: so tell your router to forward port 22 traffic to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:32] <unfo> drunk:  giacomo is having problems with vlc, qtconfig, and keepassx too.
[06:33] <judgen> quick check. if "sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward" shows a =1 then forwarding should work?
[06:33] <giacomo> drunk, I'll do that , but before I need to start keepassx to retrieve my passwords
[06:33] <givemeaname> i so shouldn't have installed linux........
[06:33] <rdw200169_> judgen: yes
[06:33] <giacomo> unfo, immediatly, gimme a second
[06:33] <laobing> #ubuntu-cn
[06:33] <alex_mayorga> now is't weird because the nm applet says that my wireless is "device is unmanaged" :(
[06:33] <judgen> rdw200169_: i dont have a firewall, and the dhcp3-server gives the windows computer a ip. Why wont it work?
[06:34] <unfo> tilkster: what are you trying to check out?
[06:34] <lgc> fryguy, let me see if I can find that out...
[06:34] <rdw200169_> judgen: do you have a NAT running...?
[06:34] <giacomo> unfo, this is the vlc backtrace http://pastebin.com/d63e5ea75
[06:34] <rdw200169_> judgen: i.e., you you have a rule in iptables that says...
[06:34] <unfo> onthefence9281: did #winehq solve your problem?  what happened?
[06:34] <unfo> giacomo:  please tell me the key 3 lines here.
[06:34] <fryguy> I'm running gnome on a remote X server.  It's running very slowly though.    Will this speed up gnome?  I have a picture of the process list (warning, the image is quite large, approximately 4.5mb): http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/xclient.png -- If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong and what x client to run to speed things up it would be appreciated.
[06:34] <rdw200169_> judgen: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wan_interface -j MASQUERADE

[06:35] <owen1> i try to send the video to the VGA output. i try this command but i can't see anything on the external monitor -  xrandr --verbose --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --pos 0x0   any idea?
[06:35] <rdw200169_> judgen: if there's no NAT taking place, the router can't translate the forwarded traffic to the internet
[06:35] <unfo> giacomo:  no, not that.  I mean the "Application 'foo' crashed with signal SIGSEGV at bar.c line 1234", plus the line of code in question.
[06:36] <rdw200169_> judgen: because iptables also performs the double-duty of NAT translation, among other things
[06:36] <drunk> i've seen that on mine before.. you can try what i tried.. edit your /etc/networking/interfaces file and put a # before every line to blank it out.. i have the network-manager packages installed.. restart your network and see if it works
[06:36] <alex_mayorga> for other with bcm43xx https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/b43
[06:36] <rdw200169_> judgen: has to do with the conntrack related stuff...
[06:36] <paul68> rdw200169_: Hi how are you can you check out this script please and tell me what you think of it also have a question about line 135 and 136 don't I need to modify the popname into the port number? http://paste.ubuntu.com/71232/
[06:36] <n8tuser> fryguy-> look into using NXclient or FreeNx  to get amazing speed.. i dont have the details, google for it please
[06:36] <rdw200169_> paul68: ah, welcome back
[06:36] <giacomo> unfo, do you mean recompiling the application with the debugging symbols?
[06:36] <alex_mayorga> drunk: thanks, will try that
[06:37] <paul68> rdw200169_: made some adaptions hope you aprove with this
[06:37] <drunk> then again there is something wrong with my network at the moment, I can't get static IP's to stick to my ethernet card alex_mayorga
[06:37] <fryguy> n8tuser: nxclient is a replacement X server.  I already have my X server configured.  Somebody told me I need to run gnome inside of an X client, how do I do that?
[06:37] <unfo> giacomo: no.  Use what you have now.  I mean run it, wait for it to crash, then tell me the "Application 'foo' crashed with signal SIGSEGV" line, plus the line after that, from gdb.
[06:37] <judgen> rdw200169_: i think i have located the problem with your help. I had specified the wrong interface in rc.local
[06:37] <judgen> thanks
[06:38] <aeosynth> Is there an easy way to get rid of the gnome-panel other than uninstalling it in synaptic?
[06:38] <fryguy> right click on it and remove it
[06:38] <rdw200169_> paul68: why have lines 6 and 7?
[06:38] <unfo> giacomo:  I warn you that I must go and get back to coding soon.
[06:38] <aeosynth> doesn't work when there's only one left
[06:38] <n8tuser> fryguy-> nope, it does not replace X server, it augments it..read up on it..
[06:39] <stopgo> does anyone have experience setting up a mail server?  i'm trying to understand what different functions dovecot and postfix serve.
[06:39] <fryguy> n8tuser: I have, and i've read up on xpra, xmove, and xnest.  None of them are applicable for my situation
[06:39] <unfo> stopgo:  come join me in #ubuntu-server
[06:39] <paul68> rdw200169_: oeps my bad should be eth0 and eth1
[06:39] <rdw200169_> paul68: ;)
[06:39] <n8tuser> fryguy-> oh well, tuff luck
[06:39] <stopgo> ok unfo
[06:39] <metrick> How do i create a partition and copy files to it?
[06:39] <metrick> on ubuntu 8.10
[06:40] <ropetin> metrick: a partition on what?
[06:40] <paul68> rdw200169_: was replacing all my eth0 and eth1 didn't see that this was also replaced
[06:40] <fryguy> n8tuser: is there an X client that gnome runs inside of? or was I misinformed and gnome itself is an xclient?
[06:40] <abortd> how do i change my update server?
[06:40] <metrick> My hdd
[06:40] <metrick> or secondary Hdd
[06:40] <loquitus_of_borg> Anybody know a solution to this sound problem I am having? Basically, my sound was fine in Hardy. With Intrepid, sound is all screwy. ALSA does not seem to work too well, and even with OSS turned on (which I did not have to use before), a lot of my video files cannot play audio. When I try, I get static
[06:41] <ropetin> metrick: create a partition with gparted
[06:41] <alex_mayorga> drunk: so can I nuke  /etc/network/interfaces entirely, or is that too much?
[06:41] <n8tuser> fryguy->not to sure
[06:41] <n8tuser> fryguy->not too* sure
[06:41] <metrick> How would i then copy files to it?
[06:41] <drunk> try it and see if it works.. you may have to put it back the way it was
[06:41] <giacomo_> unfo, sorry I'm back
[06:41] <givemeaname> anyone know how to install the WOTLK xpac?
[06:41] <rdw200169_> paul68: in 135 and 136, you can either specify those ports in environment variables, or use the names from /etc/services
[06:41] <judgen> rdw200169_: Dang, no go.
[06:41] <giacomo_> unfo, but with no debugging symbols you wont have the "line after that"
[06:41] <unfo> giacomo_: that is ok.
[06:41] <aeosynth> since I'm using a dock (AWN) I don't want or need the gnome panel, any easy way to get rid of it? Right-click into 'remove panel' doesn't work, nor does killing it from session options (since 8.10 doesn't have session options)
[06:41] <metrick> ropetin: or do you know of a guide?
[06:42] <ropetin> metrick: Once the partition is created, put a file system on it, then copy like normal
[06:42] <ropetin> metrick: I'll look for one...
[06:42] <metrick> ropetin:Thank you =]
[06:42] <gluonman> Anyone familiar with setting up a synergy server? I'm stuck on a step.
[06:42] <paul68> rdw200169_: ok is it usefull to seperate the tcp and udp variables or is it better to keep them together?
[06:42] <alex_mayorga> drunk: what's the package name for nm-applet?
[06:43] <ropetin> metrick: I won't vouch for this 100%, but it looks OK...
[06:43] <ropetin> metrick: http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/
[06:43] <rdw200169_> paul68: hmm... i prefer separating them
[06:43] <unfo> gluonman:  I am not, but try #synergy.  Write your whole question on one long long line then wait eight hours.  You might get a response, might not.  Else try the Synergy mailing list.
[06:43] <metrick> ropetin: cool thanks :D
[06:43] <givemeaname> how do you become a root user without using the 'sudo'command (aka not in a terminal)
[06:43] <paul68> rdw200169_: like I do right now correct
[06:44] <gluonman> unfo, okay
[06:44] <drunk> alex_mayorga, i think it's part of the network-manager packages
[06:44] <giacomo_> unfo, http://pastebin.com/d613be81f
[06:44] <fryguy> givemeaname: if you need it graphically, gksudo or gksu should work, gksudo seems to be preferred
[06:44] <unfo> giacomo_: i look
[06:44] <iamelite> Hello, i was wondering if anyone knows the most effective way to run windows programs on ubuntu. If anyone has clever advice i am willing to listen and experiment.
[06:44] <unfo> giacomo_:  what qt libraries have you ever installed?
[06:44] <fryguy> iamelite: install windows in a virtual machine or use wine are the 2 primary choices
[06:45] <rdw200169_> paul68: lines 140-159, the rest of the FORWARD table, are pointless
[06:45] <unfo> iamelite: you forgot to tell us which programs :)
[06:45] <rdw200169_> paul68: i mean 140-168
[06:45] <lgc> fryguy, I see no option on the router referring to port 22.
[06:45] <chmac> Anyone else notice a slight delay when alt-tabbing between windows in intrepid?
[06:45] <Appl3Kork> how do you open a tar.bz2 file?
[06:45] <iamelite> fryguy, binary translation is slow. Wine is much faster, but lacks files and driver compatability.
[06:45] <unfo> Appl3Kork: what is the filename?
[06:45] <nabcore> tar xfvj file.tar.bz2
[06:45] <givemeaname> fryguy, so you mean go to a terminal and type that?
[06:45] <Appl3Kork> zlib-1.2.3.tar.bz2
[06:45] <Ayabara> I get this error when I try to connect to work with vpnc "resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink"
[06:45] <rdw200169_> paul68: because the first accept, entry 2 in the FORWARD table, line 131, kills all the accepted traffic
[06:45] <fryguy> imaginativeone: no one mentioned binary translation
[06:46] <gluonman> unfo, #synergy is freaking empty.
[06:46] <fryguy> givemeaname: or run it from the alt-f2 prompt, whatever
[06:46] <unfo> giacomo_: Do a Google search for: ubuntu "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries"
[06:46] <rdw200169_> paul68: all the allowed users' traffic will never get past line 131
[06:46] <giacomo_> unfo, this is what I have installed http://pastebin.com/m7480be75
[06:46] <unfo> giacomo_: Click the first hit.  Then click the link to the bug.  Is that the precise bug you have?
[06:46] <rdw200169_> paul68: and line 138 kills the rest of the non-allowed traffic
[06:46] <rdw200169_> paul68: so there's nothing left to filter
[06:46] <Appl3Kork> zlib-1.2.3.tar.bz2 is the filename
[06:46] <giacomo_> unfo, I've passed page by page a lot of times but no solution
[06:46] <givemeaname> fryguy,  thank you for the lead, i'll see what i can do with it (wish me luck)
[06:46] <fryguy> iamelite: do you have a specific windows program you are having problems running?
[06:47] <unfo> gluonman:  you are annoying the people there.  state your entire question on one long long line then wait 8 hours.  :)
[06:47] <unfo> giacomo_: repeat: Do a Google search for: ubuntu "Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries". Click the first hit.  Then click the link to the bug.  Is that the precise bug you have?
[06:47] <rdw200169_> paul68: kill line 122
[06:47] <gluonman> unfo, alright. Though it is sometimes hard to not be annoying when I've already asked the question I think 8 times over the last 2 hours.
[06:47] <Appl3Kork> I'm just trying to install the rpm package from a tar.gz that I extracted, but I can't seem to figure that out either..
[06:47] <giacomo_> unfo, I don't think so, they are tolking about misplaced libraries, but mines are in the correct position
[06:47] <iamelite> fryguy, with my novice eye i am trying to get webcam integrated into chat programs. Also certain chat programs do not work, i would guess to say they are virtual basic.
[06:48] <unfo> gluonman:  i know, it's hard :)  also email the mailing list.
[06:48] <givemeaname> fryguy, what about for copying stuff from one folder to the next?
[06:48] <unfo> giacomo_: hmmmm

[06:48] <balle_> hey i have a problem with a folder, it says that only root is the owner, how do i change that to me?
[06:48] <fryguy> givemeaname: doing it from the command line is fastest.  if you insist on using a gui, 'sudo nautilus' should give you what you need
[06:48] <Appl3Kork> so no one knows I guess...
[06:48] <gluonman> unfo, thanks.
[06:48] <balle_> hey i have a problem with a folder, it says that only root is the owner, and only root can put stuff in and change it and stuff.. how do i change that to me?
[06:49] <unfo> Appl3Kork: you must ping me when you respond, otherwise i will not see your reponse in this sea of text.
[06:49] <unfo> Appl3Kork: why do you need zlib?
[06:49] <giacomo_> unfo, I can post a ldd if you want

[06:49] <{^KinG^}> balle_ man chown
[06:49] <rdw200169_> paul68: on line 168, kill all the subnet declarations, keep it simple, only specify output device, let the other tables restrict and filter traffic, that's not the job of the NAT table
[06:49] <fryguy> {^KinG^}: remove the quote from the filename before giving it to mp4ize
[06:49] <unfo> giacomo_: ok.  have you ever installed qt yourself?
[06:49] <giacomo_> unfo, to check that the libraries are there
[06:49] <paul68> rdw200169_: in a way I was doing a bit of overkill on lines 140 til 168 ;-)
[06:49] <fryguy> givemeaname: the cp command
[06:49] <Appl3Kork> unfo: to do ./configure for the rpm-<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:49] <balle_> king: just chown and then the directory?
[06:49] <drunk> balle_, "sudo chown balle_:balle_ /home/folder"
[06:50] <unfo> Appl3Kork: why do you want rpm-<IP_ADDRESS>?  cc: mindrape
[06:50] <paul68> rdw200169_: I deleted everything from 140-168

[06:50] <judgen> damn nat, i cant get it to work properly
[06:50] <balle_> drunk: thx i'll try it out
[06:50] <saintmike> can someone help me with the ubuntu 8.04 server edition installation step failed?
[06:50] <{^KinG^}> fryguy how i understan d that
[06:50] <Appl3Kork> cause I have my drivers that are rpm to install
[06:50] <mindrape> unfo - stop annoying people.
[06:50] <rdw200169_> judgen: see my note to paul68
[06:50] <unfo> saintmike: see #ubuntu-server
[06:50] <giacomo_> unfo, in the meanwhile I'm compiling vlc with the debugging symbols, but I this it's useless because it's not a "crash"
[06:50] <unfo> mindrape: reread the question :)
[06:50] <fryguy> {^KinG^}: use mv to rename the file
[06:50] <Appl3Kork> unfo: and I can't connect to the internet on the laptop
[06:50] <iamelite> fryguy, pending I use a windows virtualization is there any tips you can offer to improve the performance, in theoretical or otherwise?
[06:50] <saintmike> yes sir...
[06:50] <Appl3Kork> unfo: the network adapters didn't come installed...
[06:51] <unfo> Appl3Kork: what driver?
[06:51] <xTheGoat121x> Evening... I have an odd question.  I have a partition that is shared between Windoze and Ubuntu... it's in need to defragmentation, but I'm curious if degragging in Windows would have an effect on the partition in Linux, or vice versa... (it's a FAT32 partition)
[06:51] <Appl3Kork> a network driver
[06:51] <givemeaname> this sure doesn't make me like linux too much
[06:51] <unfo> xTheGoat121x: do not bother defragging.  It is a waste of time.
[06:51] <mindrape> unfo - so he can install rpm packages. It's a legitimate question.  Don't question people on why they want help.
[06:51] <Appl3Kork> one for wireless the other for ethernet
[06:51] <givemeaname> either that or wow.....
[06:51] <mindrape> They are here for help.  Not to be pestered.
[06:51] <rdw200169_> paul68: you can keep those statements, just put them before the final DROP and ACCEPT lines for the appropriate subnet groups
[06:51] <fryguy> iamelite: get a processor that supports native virtualization helps.  Or find a native chat application that does what you need
[06:51] <unfo> Appl3Kork:  which wireless?  which ethernet?
[06:51] <xTheGoat121x> unfo... seriously
[06:51] <drunk> Appl3Kork, you can try to use ndiswrapper, i did but i don't think it worked.. it showed the windows dirvers installed with the device active, but it still wouldn't connect
[06:51] <unfo> giacomo_: yes it is useless.
[06:51] <judgen> rdw200169_:  i missed the first part of that while rebooting...
[06:51] <rdw200169_> paul68: because, keep in mind, iptables goes through the tables from entry 0 to the last entry
[06:51] <giacomo_> unfo, I think it's something related to libraries link
[06:51] <unfo> giacomo_: you installed qt yourself to check that the libraries are there?
[06:52] <Appl3Kork> drunk: well these are the linux drivers
[06:52] <fryguy> I'm running gnome on a remote X server.  It's running very slowly though.    Will this speed up gnome?  I have a picture of the process list (warning, the image is quite large, approximately 4.5mb): http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/xclient.png -- If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong and what x client to run to speed things up it would be appreciated.
[06:52] <rdw200169_> judgen: sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -i $LAN -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE
[06:52] <unfo> Appl3Kork:  those are the Fedora Linux drivers.  You are on Ubuntu Linux.
[06:52] <rdw200169_> judgen: $LAN is your LAN interface, and $WAN accordingly
[06:52] <Appl3Kork> what are fedora drivers?
[06:52] <paul68> rdw200169_: I put the new masquerade line under the first masquerade right
[06:52] <giacomo_> unfo, I've installed qt from ubuntu packages (up-to-date intrepid)
[06:52] <saintmike> i have tried using iso and cd installers for ubuntu 8.04 server edition and still has the same error...after not installing any software intaskel...
[06:52] <unfo> xthegoat121x: yes, seriously.
[06:52] <rdw200169_> paul68: that's why it used to be called ipchains...
[06:52] <faryshta> mindrape, I am back I think it is a hardware issue, didn't wished to boot from liveCD until I beat the computer.
[06:53] <shadowwulf> is there a command i can run at the bash prompt to upgrade and or fix broken packages if my system wont boot ?
[06:53] <rdw200169_> paul68: just replace it
[06:53] <faryshta> Now I am burning a DVD.
[06:53] <unfo> giacomo_: what is the command you used to install it?  Also, are you using hardy, intrepid, or another ubuntu?
[06:53] <giacomo_> unfo, I've removed with purge all the qt world before
[06:53] <xTheGoat121x> unfo, even on a shared partition?  Cuz it's always had an effect in Windows for me.
[06:53] <Appl3Kork> when I downloaded the linux drivers from the manufacturers website, it didn't say that it was just for fedora
[06:53] <unfo> xTheGoat121x: even then.
[06:53] <rdw200169_> paul68: you only need one NAT declaration, and it should be simple, unless you have more than one internet connection of course, but that's not the case here
[06:53] <fryguy> shadowwulf: if it's a broken package, try "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[06:53] <Appl3Kork> in fact it didn't say that at all
[06:53] <giacomo_> unfo, as I said, intrepid ubuntu 8.10 up-to-date, no pinned packages
[06:53] <xTheGoat121x> unfo, and I know that it has no effect in Linux
[06:53] <drunk> shadowwulf, sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
[06:53] <giacomo_> unfo, no backports etc
[06:53] <saintmike> anyone has any idea?
[06:53] <balle_> drunk: balle@balle-laptop:~$ chown balle /usr/lib/eclipse
[06:53] <balle_> chown: changing ownership of `/usr/lib/eclipse': Operation not permitted
[06:53] <rdw200169_> paul68: iptables does not intend to filter in the NAT tables
[06:53] <dubbyz> hey anyone im running ubiquity and was wondering how i could obtain root on a block device
[06:54] <unfo> fryguy: drunk: please try harder to figure out what is wrong with shadowwulf's PC before making suggestions :)
[06:54] <judgen> iptables v1.3.8: Can't use -i with POSTROUTING rdw200169_
[06:54] <fryguy> unfo: lol, are you serious?
[06:54] <unfo> fryguy: yes
[06:54] <bdheeman> hi
[06:54] <unfo> hi
[06:54] <paul68> rdw200169_: ok this is the new version http://paste.ubuntu.com/71236/
[06:54] <Flannel> xTheGoat121x: Defragging isn't a waste of time.  And, yes, if your partition your ubuntu is on is heavily fragmented, that will slow down your wubi install (Don't ask me by how much)
[06:54] <unfo> giacomo_: when did your Qt problems start?
[06:54] <rdw200169_> judgen: then don't use that, it's not 100% necessary
[06:54] <drunk> shadowwulf, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --fix-missing" not sure how to enter the password though, perhaps add that to your /etc/rc.local file
[06:54] <giacomo_> unfo, when I dist-upgraded to intrepid
[06:55] <rdw200169_> judgen:  sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE
[06:55] <saintmike> anyone tried installing ubuntu 8.04 server edition?
[06:55] <unfo> giacomo_: hmmm, you should have said that.
[06:55] <rdw200169_> saintmike: yeah
[06:55] <unfo> giacomo_: ok please repeat the question to everyone in #ubuntu+1
[06:55] <giacomo_> unfo, not ALL the qt applications are not working, some of them, like yakuake for example, are working correctly
[06:55] <xTheGoat121x> Flannel, this isn't a Wubi install.  I dual boot, but use one partition that I share between Windows and Ubuntu as a central location for storing files
[06:55] <Flannel> giacomo_, unfo: Intrepid is in #ubuntu, it's been released.  #ubuntu+1 is for Jaunty
[06:56] <Kengine> how do I get the horizontal view in open office word, not I have vertical view, i want to have a document so I can edit it seeing vertically
[06:56] <bdheeman> install dies in between, somewhere while copying files, checked the install cd/disk which is ok
[06:56] <unfo> Flannel: giacomo_: oops
[06:56] <shadowwulf> ok im getting a bunch of xserver-xorg-video-tga -nv -nsc etc. depends on xserver-xorg-core
[06:56] <dubbyz> anyone know if i could use ubiquity to edit files on my hard drive?
[06:56] <saintmike> rdw200169:i have a strange problem installing ubuntu server sir can you help?
[06:56] <unfo> giacomo_: which work?  which don't?
[06:56] <rdw200169_> paul68: INT_NET=<IP_ADDRESS>... wrong, INT_NET=<IP_ADDRESS>/24... correct
[06:56] <giacomo_> Flannel, my problem is in intrepid, not jaunty
[06:56] <shadowwulf> and then E: unmet dependencies
[06:56] <rdw200169_> saintmike: shoot
[06:56] <shadowwulf> try using -f
[06:56] <bdheeman> and there is no log where i may look in to
[06:56] <Flannel> giacomo_: I know, you're in the right channel.
[06:56] <rdw200169_> saintmike: just make sure you say my sn with the _ so i see it bolded...
[06:57] <paul68> rdw200169_: corrected
[06:57] <ditch64> i have a quick question, my /boot/grub/menu.list file is empty and i need to back it up so i can install windows and then restore grub, buut if its empty.... what do i do??
[06:57] <rdw200169_> paul68: kill line 37
[06:57] <judgen> rdw200169_: im really appriciative about your help, but i still cant get it to work.
[06:57] <rdw200169_> paul68: the newline thing i mentioned won't work
[06:57] <rdw200169_> paul68: with the emtpy line
[06:57] <dubbyz> anyone know if i could run ubuntu live cd to edit files on my hard drive?
[06:57] <saintmike> rdw200169 : i tried installing through a cd and an iso but still says the same installation step failed...
[06:58] <drunk> what step saintmike
[06:58] <bdheeman> can i install intrepid in an extended partition?
[06:58] <rdw200169_> judgen: can you paste the output of iptables-save > file?
[06:58] <MTecknology> dubbyz: what was your question?
[06:58] <giacomo_> unfo, as far as I know, yakuake and stellarium are working, vlc keepassx virtualbox qtconfig not
[06:58] <drunk> bdheeman, i don't think so
[06:58] <rdw200169_> judgen: or just iptables-save
[06:58] <MTecknology> bdheeman: yes - but /boot can't be
[06:58] <paul68> rdw200169_: I keep the \ but loose the blank line did that for all the others to
[06:58] <giacomo_> unfo, if you want me to try one just ask
[06:58] <drunk> good to know MTecknology
[06:58] <rdw200169_> saintmike: yah, what step
[06:58] <dubbyz> MTecknology: I am running ubuntu live cd, and was wondering if i could use it as a way to edit root files on a hard drive
[06:58] <MTecknology> bdheeman: /boot needs to be on a primary partition in order to boot off of an extended
[06:59] <saintmike> rdw200169 : i usually get stuck installing the software...it says only the base system is installed....
[06:59] <rdw200169_> paul68: ;)
[06:59] <bdheeman> i see, that's why install script dies
[06:59] <unfo> giacomo_: why are some working and some not?
[06:59] <MTecknology> dubbyz: ya, just mount the partition and edit away - careful what you're doing though
[06:59] <rdw200169_> saintmike: does it get onto the internet? i.e. do you set up networking?
[06:59] <judgen> rdw200169_: where do i find it?
[06:59] <paul68> rdw200169_: with a good teacher I'm a quick learner thought I was pretty clever with the limited and access variable ;-)
[07:00] <saintmike> rdw200169 : not yet...
[07:00] <ditch64> i have a quick question, my /boot/grub/menu.list file is empty and i need to back it up so i can install windows and then restore grub, buut if its empty.... what do i do??
[07:00] <giacomo_> unfo, nice question, I suppose it depends to what kind of library it uses
[07:00] <drunk> dubbyz, "sudo fdisk -l" to figure out the correct file /dev/sda partition.. then "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt" and the files will be in the /mnt folder
[07:00] <rdw200169_> judgen: it's a command
[07:00] <saintmike> rdw200169 : our instructor asked us not to configure the network yet.....
[07:00] <giacomo_> unfo, I think qt3 is working qt4 not
[07:00] <rdw200169_> judgen: part of iptables
[07:00] <giacomo_> unfo, but I'm not sure about this
[07:00] <unfo> giacomo_: check, then tell me.
[07:01] <mindrape> giacomo_: if you'd like help /msg me... unfo will just confuse you and lead you down random paths of google links he finds that he thinks are relevant.
[07:01] <rdw200169_> paul68: seems to work to your advantage
[07:01] <bdheeman> but the arch and debian are working fine from extended partition, only fedora is in a primary one
[07:01] <saintmike> rdw200169_: our instructor said it maybe a hardware failure....
[07:01] <judgen> rdw200169_: seems im forwarding wrong stuff... how do i remove the wrongful entries.
[07:01] <shadowwulf> how do i fix 'could not resolve' issues ?
[07:01] <saintmike> rdw200169_ : or media...but i downloaded a new one...it still says the same....
[07:02] <unfo> giacomo_: if you do move to pm, please tell me so I will know the issue is on hold.
[07:02] <rdw200169_> saintmike: that's certainly possible, are you aware ubuntu keeps a logfile of the install?
[07:02] <saintmike> yes....
[07:02] <MTecknology> ditch64: I think you can boot to a live cd and copy the menu.list file from the live session and also copy that to your system
[07:02] <paul68> rdw200169_: do I need to specify anything else to make it all work or is this how you would do it the way we discussed it earlier this week?
[07:02] <m__> hello all
[07:02] <shadowwulf> i am getting http errors .. and could not resolve
[07:02] <bdheeman> rdw200169_: plz let me where is the log file
[07:02] <saintmike> rdw200169_ : yes...but i could not finish any installation due to this err...
[07:03] <rdw200169_> paul68: you dont' really need to specify anything else for it to work the way you want, you could insert some more logging lines for debugging purposes
[07:03] <dubbyz> drunk: nope, sudo vi file  == permission denied
[07:03] <saintmike> rdw200169_ : btw, im using vmware 5.5 now...
[07:03] <drunk> nope.. don't vi anything
[07:03] <saintmike> rdw200169_ : does it matter?
[07:03] <rdw200169_> paul68: i prefer a light touch when it comes to setting up iptables, you could follow the syslog to find stuff you want to stop
[07:03] <MTecknology> shadowwulf: what website are you looking at?
[07:03] <unfo> MTecknology: shadowwulf: this was previously discussed with fryguy and drunk :)
[07:03] <rdw200169_> saintmike: perhaps, i always have problems with the kernel installation on vmware, i have to install the generic kernel for it to reboot
[07:04] <unfo> shadowwulf: please ping people when replying to them.  Do it like this:  "drunk: "
[07:04] <fryguy> what?
[07:04] <rdw200169_> saintmike: also, during install, you can try to switch vty's
[07:04] <paul68> rdw200169_: or do I need to add for the restricted ips the 80 port for allowing them to access the internet
[07:04] <saintmike> rdw200169_ : so what do you suggest i should do?
[07:04] <paul68> rdw200169_: define light touch?
[07:04] <fryguy> unfo: why are you saying my name
[07:04] <NicEXE> I have just connected a serial mouse to my PC what should I do in order to work? (only the ps2 mouse works currently)
[07:04] <judgen> saintmike: the kernel modules has to be regenerated for that particular versoin. But i think you get a free upgrade to the 6.* version where all that is fixed.
[07:04] <ditch64> MTecknology: ya but everything works fine, but the file is still empty
[07:04] <ditch64> MTecknology: on both my machines
[07:04] <drunk> dubbyz, "sudo fdisk -l" lists all your partitions.. the files you want are one one of those partitions.. "mount /dev/sda /media" will mount the particular partition in the /media folder.. then use your file manager to navigate to your files
[07:05] <rdw200169_> saintmike: well, for the best troubleshooting, you should install via ssh, and use that to monitor the installation from the syslog...
[07:05] <shadowwulf> drunk,  i am getting a cant resolve http error
[07:05] <rdw200169_> saintmike: but you have to rebuild the cd for that
[07:05] <metrick> when i try to mount a second hard drive in the terminal it says i need to be a root user, why is that?
[07:05] <rdw200169_> saintmike: check this out: greamin.com/server/server_guide.html for how to do that...
[07:05] <unfo> shadowwulf:  in your case, you want to ping both drunk and fryguy, since they both told you suggestions on how to resolve your problem.  :)
[07:05] <saintmike> rdw200169_ :so where can i get that?
[07:05] <bdheeman> gota - ubiquity: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0. in the install debug/log
[07:06] <rdw200169_> saintmike: haha beat you to the punch..
[07:06] <shadowwulf> unfo, so how would i do that ?
[07:06] <MTecknology> ditch64: I'm not sure. I think there's more than one way that grub saves the boot options. I'm not really sure though, sorry...
[07:06] <dubbyz> drunk i did all that, i mounted /dev/sda1 (the hard drive with linux root) I can view all files, actually my problem is that I am unable to write to any of them, even as root, so lets say i wish to sudo gedit /etc/sudoers
[07:06] <unfo> gluonman: do tell them #synergy your question also.  :)
[07:06] <shadowwulf> unfo,  type it twice ?
[07:06] <dubbyz> it will open with [read-only]
[07:06] <rdw200169_> paul68: if you make a firewall too restrictive, you always wonder why you can't do something
[07:06] <dubbyz> so i think its a mount option
[07:06] <MTecknology> dubbyz: you mounted read only
[07:06] <chmac> Is it possible to use boolean and searches on the ubuntu forum?
[07:06] <unfo> shadowwulf:  you say "drunk, fryguy, blah blah blah"
[07:06] <saintmike> rdw200169_: thanx...
[07:06] <dubbyz> but in mount -o rw
[07:06] <dubbyz> i did mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -o rw
[07:06] <fryguy> unfo: why do you keep saying my name
[07:06] <shadowwulf> drunk, fryguy  i am getting a unable to resolve http error
[07:06] <drunk> dubbyz, perhaps try "sudo chown dubbyz:dubbyz /media/folder"
[07:06] <rdw200169_> paul68: on the other hand, instead of blocking something, log it, to make sure the firewall is catching it in the right place, you can use something like, tail -f /var/log/syslog to watch what the firewall is doing
[07:07] <mmap> ugh
[07:07] <chmac> Ok, got a whole page on it, should have searched before asking :)
[07:07] <bazhang> unfo, please stop
[07:07] <unfo> fryguy: i was telling shadowwulf to ping you re. the unbootable PC.
[07:07] <gaara> somebody help
[07:07] <unfo> bazhang: ok
[07:07] <ditch64> MTecknology: k thanks
[07:07] <gluonman> unfo, mindrape is currently helping me. If we can't figure it out, I'll go back to #synergy. Thanks, though.
[07:07] <gaara> Updating database of manual pages ...
[07:07] <rdw200169_> paul68: particularly if you have a bunch of interesting LOG entries, the syslog will tell you everything you want to know about the logged packet, source ip, dest ip, port, etc...
[07:07] <mmap> haha, mindrape is a fag
[07:07] <gaara> its in that status forever
[07:07] <dubbyz> hmm
[07:07] <fryguy> unfo: why? you don't approve of the way I helped him, so why are you pointing him at me?
[07:07] <bdheeman> Saw signal 11.  Server aborting.
[07:07] <bdheeman> Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on display ':0'.
[07:07] <paul68> rdw200169_: understood so at this point it is to restrictive even for the full access users, where would you put these loggings in the iptables
[07:07] <shadowkill> evening all
[07:08] <bdheeman> what's wrong
[07:08] <unfo> fryguy: i think you should have inquired more into why the PC wasn't booting Xorg before suggesting a command to type.
[07:08] <rdw200169_> saintmike: by light touch, i mean, if i think i want to block something, i start logging it first, then block later, knowing i won't block something i don't want to, and so on
[07:08] <drunk> when does it say that bdheeman?
[07:08] <unfo> fryguy: but now you are the supporter
[07:08] <MTecknology> Can somebody tell ditch64 if there's any other way to store the boot list in grub other than the default menu.list file? I can't do the research atm.
[07:08] <fryguy> unfo: no i'm not
[07:08] <rdw200169_> paul68: it's fine for the full access users, right now they have full access based on line 131
[07:08] <gaara> $ sudo dpkg --configure -a gives              Setting up man-db (2.5.2-2) ...
[07:08] <gaara> Updating database of manual pages ...
[07:08] <gaara> someone plz help...
[07:09] <unfo> fryguy: by answering shadowwulf's question, you are taking on shadowwulf's support case.
[07:09] <gaara> its been updating forever
[07:09] <gaara> and ever
[07:09] <bdheeman> drunk: while running install script
[07:09] <FloodBot2> gaara: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:09] <timreichhart> does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell
[07:09] <bazhang> unfo, fryguy chat elsewhere please
[07:09] <drunk> MTecknology, ditch64, perhaps save the list below the **other operating systems** line in the menu.lst file??
[07:09] <paul68> rdw200169_: 131 old version I presume?
[07:09] <rdw200169_> FloodBot is such a jerk, sometimes we slip when we type really fast!
[07:09] <MTecknology> drunk: He said that everyting boots fine, but that file is empty
[07:10] <Ohmu> How can I stop my mic feeding into the headphone out?
[07:10] <bdheeman> drunk, it interrupted/crashed the install and restarted gdm
[07:10] <rdw200169_> paul68: new one
[07:10] <drunk> perhaps the file being used is on a different boot sector or whatever?
[07:10] <timreichhart> does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell or could somebody tell me what be the best modem to use for fax server
[07:10] <drunk> stored on his windows partition?
[07:10] <rdw200169_> paul68: anyone from the accepted network is getting stopped and accepted there, and never sees the rest of the table
[07:10] <metrick> every time i try to mount my second hdd it says only root can do that, how can i mount this second hard drive
[07:10] <metrick> ?
[07:10] <drunk> stored on his windows partition? MTecknology
[07:11] <MTecknology> drunk: no idea. I'm too tired to keep in here though. I'm useless
[07:11] <paul68> rdw200169_: sorry but shouldn't that be line 126
[07:11] <saintmike> rdw200169_: sir i went to the site you told me....is there any other posible solution to my issue?hehehehhe
[07:11] <drunk> metrick, use the sudo command
[07:11] <paul68> rdw200169_: otherwhise I'm in the limited section
[07:11]  * bdheeman /var/log/installer/dm has (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
[07:11] <drunk> what else are you doing for 5 minutes MTecknology
[07:11] <timreichhart> does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell or could somebody tell me what be the best modem to use for fax server
[07:11] <rdw200169_> saintmike: of course, but you have to figure out how to send vty switches to the virtual machine
[07:11] <unfo> timreichhart: see www.ebay.com or www.craigslist.com or IRC ##hardware
[07:12] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i.e. ctrl+alt+f4
[07:12] <fryguy> I'm running gnome on a remote X server.  It's running very slowly though.    Will this speed up gnome?  I have a picture of the process list (warning, the image is quite large, approximately 4.5mb): http://rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/xclient.png -- If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong and what x client to run to speed things up it would be appreciated.
[07:12] <metrick> drunk: it says i need to add filesystem type
[07:12] <saintmike> rdw200169_:  ok...
[07:12] <rdw200169_> paul68: here's what i have for line 131 $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -s $ACCESS -j ACCEPT
[07:12] <metrick> specify filesystem type*
[07:12] <timreichhart> sorry unfo that information you just gave is useless
[07:12] <MTecknology> drunk: fine - I'll ignore sleep for a few minutes...
[07:12] <paul68> rdw200169_: then you are on the old version my friend
[07:12] <rdw200169_> paul68: and that one gives full access to the ones that get it
[07:12] <drunk> fryguy, startx??
[07:13] <timreichhart> does anybody got a rs232 external modem 56k for sell or could somebody tell me what be the best modem to use for fax server for ubuntu
[07:13] <unfo> timreichhart: why? :)
[07:13] <fryguy> drunk: startx is for running an x server
[07:13] <drunk> i thought that started gnome though
[07:13] <rdw200169_> paul68: it's the one that has the $LAN variable fixed, etc...
[07:13] <unfo> timreichhart: why was it useless?
[07:13] <paul68> rdw200169_: but I guess I need to have to yes
[07:13] <MTecknology> ditch64: could you ls -l /boot/grub/
[07:13] <saintmike> rdw200169_: what's that for?
[07:13] <timreichhart> because unfo I can type in 56 modem for anything
[07:13] <MTecknology> ditch64: pastebin that
[07:13] <paul68> rdw200169_: add port 80 for the restricted ones
[07:13] <bazhang> timreichhart, check in ##hardware NOT here
[07:13] <rdw200169_> saintmike: what, the key sequence?
[07:13] <shadowwulf> drunk, fryguy  suggestions on a non resolve http error ?
[07:13] <paul68> rdw200169_: otherwise no internet for them right
[07:13] <unfo> timreichhart: you cannot buy hardware on this IRC channel.
[07:13] <unfo> timreichhart: it is off-topic here.
[07:13] <rdw200169_> paul68: right
[07:14] <timreichhart> please read what my message said unfo
[07:14] <Ohmu> timreichhart, also: post once only! or you'll get ignored.
[07:14] <drunk> not sure why copying file to an external driver would give resolve errors
[07:14] <unfo> timreichhart: what does "I can type in 56 modem for anything" mean?
[07:14] <judgen> rdw200169_: http://judgen.googlepages.com/iptables-save
[07:14] <drunk> not sure why copying file to an external driver would give resolve errors shadowwulf
[07:14] <timreichhart> please ohmu look at the message

[07:14] <wwjohnson3> i am extremely new to ubuntu and am trying to get both my ati tv wonder 200 and remote wonder plus to work.  could someone assist me with this
[07:14] <bazhang> timreichhart, no.
[07:14] <timreichhart> it says OR
[07:14] <bazhang> timreichhart, that is offtopic here
[07:14] <judgen> rdw200169_: still cant get it to work
[07:14] <rdw200169_> judgen: no, i don't want the file! i want the output from running the command!
[07:14] <saintmike> rdw200169_: would it solve my problem if i use a higher version of vmware?
[07:14] <timreichhart> how the hell can it be off topic when it said OR
[07:14] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i don't know
[07:15] <shadowwulf> drunk,  sorry dont think that answer was for me
[07:15] <judgen> rdw200169_: that is the output silly. just named it badly its a txt file
[07:15] <unfo> wwjohnson3:  Sorry, too busy, I can't.  But please repaste us your question with more details included.  Use a longer line.
[07:15] <Flannel> timreichhart: This is an Ubuntu channel, not a Hardware channel.  There are other channels for that.  Thanks.
[07:15] <vlt> Hello. Can I run the latest security update including "dbus" while users are logged in?
[07:15] <timreichhart> please read my message
[07:15] <Ohmu> timreichhart, I'm ignoring you for spamming.  Suggest you drop it or you'll get kicked.
[07:15] <saintmike> rdw200169_: what key sequence are you refering to?
[07:15] <unfo> timreichhart the first part was off-topic.  The second part was ontopic.
[07:15] <rdw200169_> judgen: and eth0 is your internet connection, right?
[07:16] <drunk> haha
[07:16] <bazhang> !hcl | timreichhart
[07:16] <timreichhart> I suggest Ohmu and unfo better read what I was asking
[07:16] <judgen> rdw200169_: eth0 is wan and eth1 is lan
[07:16] <unfo> timreichhart: repeat: the first part was off-topic.  The second part was ontopic.
[07:16] <MTecknology> ditch64: you working on that?
[07:16] <timreichhart> I dont care
[07:16] <bazhang> timreichhart, please read that link
[07:16] <Cpudan80> Just ban him already
[07:16] <timreichhart> please read my message

[07:17] <{^KinG^}> fryguy now i have error  from xvid
[07:17] <{^KinG^}> Unknown codec 'libxvid'
[07:17] <fryguy> {^KinG^}: so then install that codec, apt-cache search can help you find it
[07:17] <Cpudan80> {^KinG^}: install it
[07:17] <unfo> timreichhart: if you repeat the ontopic part of your question, maybe someone will help you.  If you are using Ubuntu Server Edition, repeat it in #ubuntu-server for best reponse.
[07:17] <judgen> hi Cpudan80
[07:17] <Cpudan80> {^KinG^}: I think it's just sudo apt-get install xvid32
[07:17] <rdw200169_> judgen: ok, then this might be related to routing, can you tell me if there's a line that contains the word 'default' when you run the command 'ip route'
[07:17] <Cpudan80> judgen: hello hello
[07:18] <givemeaname> why do i have 2 folders named cdrom and cdrom0 if i only have 1 drive? they both bring me to the cd in my drive.....
[07:18] <wwjohnson3> what channel should i go to find out how to setup my ati tv wonder 200 and remote wonder plus on ubuntu?
[07:18] <timreichhart> i have went over that chat room and that chat is dead
[07:18] <rdw200169_> givemeaname: ones a symbolic link to the other
[07:18] <Cpudan80> givemeaname: one is a symlink to the other one
[07:18] <drunk> givemeaname, i think one is a symlink
[07:18] <timreichhart> so that is why I came over to here
[07:18] <Buntu765_> How Do I get the Fire Effect too work with desktop effects in 8.10?
[07:18] <bazhang> !offtopic | timreichhart
[07:18] <saintmike> rdw200169_: sorry sir...what exactly are you refering "2:12"
[07:18] <{^KinG^}> Cpudan80 dont exist xvid32
[07:18] <Cpudan80> givemeaname: basically to support legacy (or perhaps just bad) programs that default to /dev/cdrom
[07:18] <{^KinG^}> i have install libxvidcore4 and libxvidcore4-dev
[07:18] <Cpudan80> hrm...
[07:19] <Cpudan80> {^KinG^}: how bout ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[07:19] <jcarter_> anyone have any clue as to how to make a Linksys wireless PCMIA card work in Ubuntu 8.04 on an IBM T31 laptop?
[07:19] <judgen> rdw200169_: http://judgen.googlepages.com/ip_route
[07:19] <unfo> giacomo_: sorry, must go now.
[07:19] <rdw200169_> saintmike: it's a time, from the chat log, regardless, i'm referring to the act of VTY switching, i.e. in ubuntu desktop, you can see 6 tty's by typing, accordingly, ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f2, etc...
[07:19] <givemeaname> oh so it's not an error or bad thing, it's a precaution, thank you
[07:19] <{^KinG^}> i have that too Cpudan80
[07:19] <judgen> rdw200169_: and yes
[07:19] <rdw200169_> saintmike: ctrl+alt+f8 is the gdm, xwindows tty
[07:19] <Cpudan80> givemeaname: yeah - don't get rid of it
[07:19] <timreichhart> this why most people dont switch to ubuntu/linux not must help or support
[07:19] <paul68> rdw200169_: you mentioned the etc services file earlier I presume it's the one on the server side then?
[07:19] <Things> Would someone be able to help me with setting up my wireless card in Ubuntu ?
[07:19] <{^KinG^}> ubuntu-restricted-extras ya está en su versión más reciente.
[07:19] <{^KinG^}> 0 actualizados, 0 se instalarán, 0 para eliminar y 0 no actualizados.
[07:19] <kraant> Bah upgraded to 8.10 and now I have no sound
[07:20] <bazhang> !wifi | Things
[07:20] <{^KinG^}> me too kraant
[07:20] <{^KinG^}> im back to 8.04 but now dont work mp4ize
[07:20] <jcarter_> Things: that's my problem, too.
[07:20] <{^KinG^}> :S
[07:20] <Cpudan80> Things: usually you can just put the card in and boot it up
[07:20] <Things> Ive looked at it, but I cant figure it out
[07:20] <saintmike> rdw200169_: do i have to do that at vmware?
[07:20] <rdw200169_> paul68: the /etc/services files contains generic port numbers for popular services, you should read it, you can use the canonical name provided as an alias to mentioning the port numbers
[07:20] <Cpudan80> Things: Does it not show up in restricted drivers?
[07:20] <rdw200169_> saintmike: without using ssh, yes
[07:20] <{^KinG^}> fryguy whats i need to install
[07:20] <Things> The card gets power, and ubuntu knows its there, it just wont communicate with anything
[07:20] <rdw200169_> saintmike: it might be tricky, sending it those key combos
[07:21] <paul68> rdw200169_: so when it states pop3 I just can mention pop3 after dport?
[07:21] <Cpudan80> Things: but it doesnt show up in restricted drivers or network manager?
[07:21] <rdw200169_> saintmike: if i'm not mistaken, though, i think the installer runs on vty1
[07:21] <bazhang> Things, open a terminal and type ifconfig; how many entries
[07:21] <saintmike> rdw200169_: ok il try...
[07:21] <rdw200169_> paul68: i'm pretty sure, yes
[07:21] <Things> Nope
[07:21] <ramontayag> i downloaded themes from here: http://www.junauza.com/2008/08/10-beautiful-themes-for-ubuntu-intrepid.html but I don't know how to install them.  When I go themes > add, nothing shows up when I browse the extracted tar balls
[07:21] <kraant> {^KinG^}, jcarter_ Any ideas on why? I can get the tone in the sound preferences but no sound elsewhere which is strange
[07:21] <Things> it doesnt have a auto eth0 thingy like ethernet does
[07:21] <rdw200169_> paul68: i'm not 100% on that, but i'm pretty sure, i think i read it in the manpage for iptables
[07:21] <drunk> jcarter_, install ndiswrwapper and download windows drivers for your card "sudo ndiswrapper -i /folder/Lsbcmds.sys && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" the light on the card should start blinking, click on your network icon and connect to wireless networks.. add "ndiswrapper" to your "/etc/modules" file to add to startup
[07:21] <ditch64> MTecknology: nvm i got it thank you
[07:21] <Cpudan80> Things: type iwconfig at a prompt and see what it says
[07:21] <ditch64> MTecknology: it was LST not LIST haha
[07:22] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i think the debconf installer runs on vty1, and the syslog output is on vty4, might be 2, i can't remember
[07:22] <rdw200169_> saintmike: so ctrl+alt+f2 or ctrl+alt+f4 should show you the syslog output
[07:22] <judgen> rdw200169_: any ideas?
[07:22] <Things> I get http://www.mibbit.com/pb/van5HQ
[07:22] <paul68> rdw200169_: ok
[07:23] <Things> I did set it to infrastructure
[07:23] <rdw200169_> saintmike: more often than not, it looks like a bunch of stuff you would see doing normal apt-get stuff
[07:23] <saintmike> rdw200169_: okies....
[07:23] <rdw200169_> saintmike: that's where you would catch the errors
[07:23] <rdw200169_> judgen: ok, from the router, can you ping google.com?
[07:23] <saintmike> rdw200169_: but i tried it and does nothng...
[07:23] <caiphn> newbie here, can anyone tell me how to tell what driver my usb wireless adaptor is using?
[07:23] <rdw200169_> saintmike: when the installation fails, do you get back to the debian installer main menu?
[07:23] <judgen> rdw200169_: from the computer that routs. yes im using it to talk to you innit?
[07:24] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes....
[07:24] <judgen> rdw200169_: from the routed computer, no
[07:24] <Cpudan80> Things: so the card is working...
[07:24] <rdw200169_> judgen: and your users are getting ip's via dhcp?
[07:24] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes sir...i get back to the menu....
[07:24] <judgen> rdw200169_: yes. and dns works too.
[07:24] <Cpudan80> Things: albeit in the wrong mode  ... hrm ... odd
[07:24] <Things> It wont communicate though
[07:24] <skylarS> caiphn, thinking...
[07:24] <Things> I cant get onto internet or anything
[07:24] <rdw200169_> judgen: have you tried manually assigning an ip/subnet/gateway/dns?
[07:24] <Cpudan80> Things: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:24] <Things> it doesnt even connect
[07:24] <aaron_> hi how would I change the start up screen for ubuntu?
[07:24] <Things> 8.10
[07:24] <rdw200169_> judgen: on a user to make sure that works?
[07:24] <Cpudan80> Things: Well right now it says your using Ad-hoc
[07:25] <judgen> rdw200169_: i can try it
[07:25] <saintmike> rdw200169_: if i try to run taskel...i says the same thing....could not proceed installtion...
[07:25] <rdw200169_> saintmike: well then, you can get the logfile there
[07:25] <bazhang> !usplash | aaron_
[07:25] <Things> I have tried changing it to Infrastructure
[07:25] <rdw200169_> saintmike: just go to the very bottom of the menu, and get into a terminal
[07:25] <Things> or w/e it is
[07:25] <Cpudan80> Things: If you right click the network manager icon on the taskbar and hit properties
[07:25] <rdw200169_> saintmike: after the failure
[07:25] <Cpudan80> Things: err edit connections
[07:25] <Cpudan80> Do you have a wireless tab in that window?
[07:25] <saintmike> rdw200169_: ok...im opening vmware-0.log
[07:25] <rdw200169_> saintmike: it should be stored in, /target/var/log/syslog or /var/log/syslog, i can't remember which the installer uses
[07:26] <Things> yup
[07:26] <rdw200169_> saintmike: no, not that file.
[07:26] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i'm talking about in the running vm
[07:26] <Cpudan80> Things: and you've setup your wifi in there?
[07:26] <Things> I put in my networks SSID
[07:26] <saintmike> rdw200169_: ops sorry

[07:26] <judgen> rdw200169_: hay freakin hey! it works  now... i had a minor spelling error in the nameservers section =) Haha sometimes im such a noob
[07:26] <Things> when I added a connection

[07:26] <saintmike> rdw200169_: how am i gona do that?
[07:26] <judgen> rdw200169_: yes
[07:26] <paul68> rdw200169_: and tcp 25 for smtp right?
[07:26] <Cpudan80> Things: does your APs use security ?
[07:26] <rdw200169_> judgen: that's wehre i was going next...

[07:27] <Things> Nope
[07:27] <rdw200169_> judgen: the static ip thing made you think of it?
[07:27] <Cpudan80> Things: very odd......
[07:27] <rdw200169_> paul68: for non ssl, yes
[07:27] <judgen> rdw200169_: definitly
[07:27] <Cpudan80> Things: have you tried rebooting with the configs all set?
[07:27] <rdw200169_> judgen: nice ;)
[07:27] <Things> No I havent ...
[07:27] <givemeaname> GRUB is for linux/ubuntu correct?
[07:27] <Things> hmmm
[07:27] <rdw200169_> saintmike: in the debian installation menu that it kicks you back to , there an option to open a shell
[07:27] <rdw200169_> saintmike: it's at the bottom i believe
[07:28] <Things> Its a ACX 111 card, which apparently is hard to get working in ubuntu ?
[07:28] <rdw200169_> saintmike: this is after the
[07:28] <rdw200169_> saintmike: failed installation of pacakges
[07:28] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes i seethat...
[07:28] <mictor> can anyone help me with my sd reader problem?
[07:28] <judgen> rdw200169_: im very thankful for your time. i cant overstate this but thanks alot. youve made my day allready and its only 07:28 =)
[07:28] <kraant> Oh hey changing all my sound from autodetect to pulse audio fixed everything... heh
[07:28] <paul68> rdw200169_: where should you insert logging rules in the current script
[07:28] <rdw200169_> judgen: hey, no problem, we've all been there
[07:28] <saintmike> rdw200169_: okies....i try to check it...
[07:28] <mictor> i have ubuntu 8.04 running on my eee pc 901
[07:28] <rdw200169_> saintmike: once you get into the shell, you can root around the filesystems
[07:29] <nabcore> The ACX 111 drivers are not very good at all (and it's not just an ubuntu thing), they have issues and are really maintained that well
[07:29] <{^KinG^}> Unknown codec 'libxvid'
[07:29] <rdw200169_> saintmike: the /target/ directory is where the debian installer is putting your new ubuntu server
[07:29] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Things check this
[07:29] <judgen> givemeaname: grub is a bootloader that works with all OS'es that has ext support and can load any os that has filesystem loading without problems.
[07:29] <AzuShika> soo...
[07:29] <ferronica> how to install Compiz-Fusion 07.8 on ubuntu 8.10???
[07:29] <rdw200169_> saintmike: everything else is imaginary in the ram
[07:29] <Cpudan80> Things: dunno
[07:29] <caiphn> newbie here, can anyone tell me how to tell what driver my usb wireless adaptor is using?
[07:29] <Cpudan80> Things: usually when you get this far you're good to go...
[07:29] <judgen> ferronica: just sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion
[07:29] <rdw200169_> ferronica: try to find a Personal ARchive that keeps up the latest versions
[07:29] <jcarter_> drunk_, thanks for the input, but you're talking to a novice. I've heard of ndiswrapper, but don't know how to get it.
[07:30] <skylarS> caiphn, netstat | more is not what you want...
[07:30] <crdlb> ferronica: you already have it, the only thing missing is the settings manager (compizconfig-settings-manager)
[07:30] <rdw200169_> ferronica: i can't remember what version ubuntu 8.10 is default with
[07:30] <ferronica> judgen: will this command do all
[07:30] <Things> "2. The ESSID of your router must be broadcasted and not hidden"
[07:30] <Things> Whats a ESSID ?
[07:30] <drunk> jcarter_, "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper" hit tab a couple of time and pick the newest ones.. install the necessary dependencies it asks you to as well
[07:30] <ferronica> crdlb: from where Add/Remove?
[07:30] <skylarS> caiphn, iwconfig doesn't have it...
[07:30] <crdlb> judgen: you know there is no such package? :)
[07:30] <Cpudan80> Things: Effective SSID
[07:30] <Cpudan80> Things: basically the SSID
[07:31] <rdw200169_> saintmike: regardless, there's most definitely log files that will help you with the installation, there's also an option to send the log files to another computer, if the installation server has bon-a-fide network access
[07:31] <Cpudan80> Things: Fancy APs can do multiple SSIDs at once
[07:31] <Things> Tryin to convert from Windows here, so total Linux nub lol
[07:31] <saintmike> rdw200169_:  sir im now in the target directory...
[07:31] <crdlb> ferronica: from wherever you like: apt-get, synaptic, add/remove
[07:31] <judgen> ferronica: just load up synaptic, search for compiz and youll find the needed packages.
[07:31] <rdw200169_> saintmike: excellent!, now i'm assuming that during this installation, there was an error, and that we're expecting to catch it now?
[07:31] <judgen> crdlb: there used to be... dont they have a "ghost package"?
[07:31] <Cpudan80> Things: gotta start somewhere ;-)
[07:32] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes....

[07:32] <paul68> rdw200169_: where should you insert logging rules in the current script
[07:32] <rdw200169_> saintmike: ok then, go to the directory /target/var/log
[07:32] <crdlb> judgen: I don't think that was ever a package; 'compiz' has always installed everything (except for ccsm)
[07:32] <caiphn> skylarS: nope
[07:32] <Stevethepirate> [the theme that is]
[07:32] <judgen> Stevethepirate: yes that is smoke login screen for gdm
[07:33] <rdw200169_> paul68: really, that's up to you, everyones firewall is different, in that, everyone is trying to prevent or allow different things....
[07:33] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes im here
[07:33] <judgen> Stevethepirate: i think its available at gnome-look
[07:33] <jcarter_> drunk_, thanks. Now I just need to wire the laptop to my router. It's just a few feet away. I'll get there.
[07:33] <rdw200169_> saintmike: now, try this, tail -n 20 syslog
[07:33] <skylarS> caiphn, $network-config            main>preferences>wifi
[07:33] <rdw200169_> saintmike: but don't paste here, please...
[07:33] <paul68> rdw200169_: understood in the given script where should you put the loggings to see what is going on ?
[07:33] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes...
[07:33] <Stevethepirate> judgen: link?
[07:34] <rdw200169_> paul68: depends, what do you want to see most?
[07:34] <Stevethepirate> I was looking on gnome-customize and gnome-look earlier
[07:34] <saintmike> rdw200169_: but i does nt do anything...
[07:34] <Things> Oh
[07:34] <rdw200169_> saintmike: the file is empty? try this, cat syslog
[07:34] <Things> when wireless tries to connect to my AP
[07:34] <saintmike> rdw200169_: same thing
[07:34] <judgen> Stevethepirate: sorry..
[07:34] <Things> it seems to get disconnected at the "getting IP" stage, or whatever its called
[07:34] <rdw200169_> saintmike: or at least see if the file exists, i.e. 'ls'
[07:35] <Cpudan80> Things: hrm...
[07:35] <Stevethepirate> judgen: K, /me looks more
[07:35] <Cpudan80> Things: but it works under windows?
[07:35] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes it does exist
[07:35] <Things> Yeah
[07:35] <rdw200169_> saintmike: do this, 'cd /var/log/
[07:35] <Cpudan80> Things: and the AP is broadcasting the SSID ?
[07:35] <ramontayag> any ideas on installing those themes?
[07:35] <Things> It shows up in the windows wireless network manager, so I guess it is
[07:35] <rdw200169_> saintmike: maybe that's where it put it...
[07:36] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i can't remember
[07:36] <ubd> i am using a laptop with a broken lcd, laptop is connected to a 1650* monitor. i would like to be able to close the lid and use at native resolution of the monitor. can you help me?
[07:36] <Cpudan80> Things: is the output of iwconfig still the same as before?
[07:36] <paul68> rdw200169_: well see what is going on and eventually track possible attacks
[07:36] <judgen> Stevethepirate: i can provide you with a more beatufil gdm theme though =) http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=92952&file1=92952-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Evolution
[07:36] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes sir im here...
[07:36] <Stevethepirate> judgen: http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=alpha&logpage=0&xcontentmode=150&page=117
[07:36] <rdw200169_> any interesting files in there?
[07:36] <Stevethepirate> Goes straight from SL to SN
[07:36] <ramontayag> ubd, first don't close the lid.. a lot of heat gets dissipated via the keyboard
[07:36] <C0p3rn1c> mythtv-setup crashes on a clean ubuntu interpid install,where should i file a bug report?
[07:36] <rdw200169_> saintmike: try it again, tail syslog
[07:36] <jcarter_> drunk_, ndiswrapper not found! Now what?
[07:36] <alex_mayorga> ok looks like I'll need to try a reinstall and see if that helps with my networking blues
[07:37] <Cpudan80> Things: interesting .. my laptop doesnt have an ESSID box in the network manager
[07:37] <alex_mayorga> if I install ubuntu on top of ubuntu, would it preserver my data?
[07:37] <Cpudan80> Things: can you screenshot that window (with the config thing) ?
[07:37] <rdw200169_> paul68: well, you can't log everything, or the syslog would get swamped
[07:37] <saintmike> rdw200169_: same thing...
[07:37] <Cpudan80> alex_mayorga: install ubuntu on top of ubuntu ?
[07:37] <ubd> ramontayag, :PP
[07:37] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com of ifconfig Things and give us the url
[07:37] <paul68> rdw200169_: lol also true
[07:38] <Things> ok
[07:38] <alex_mayorga> Cpudan80, like a Win32 "repair install" kind of thing
[07:38] <rdw200169_> paul68: honestly, you might want to try something like ntop, to track usage
[07:38] <djxcqtion> wats up mates
[07:38] <Stevethepirate> judgen: Lulz.
[07:38] <Cpudan80> alex_mayorga: oh ehh yes I think
[07:38] <ubd> ramontayag, do you know if i can disable the view on laptop but use the external only?
[07:38] <rdw200169_> paul68: it does a pretty good job of tracking how much of what everyone is using, and then you know what you want to block
[07:38] <aaron_> I'm still confused with the usplash thing I did this: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u  what do I do after that?
[07:38] <saintmike> rdw200169_: it sill does nothing sir....
[07:38] <Stevethepirate> Its actually called "Intrepid Ibis GDM theme"
[07:38] <Stevethepirate> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Intrepid+Ibex+GDM?content=86712
[07:38] <Cpudan80> alex_mayorga: Like if you end up downgrading some packages, there is a chance stuff wont work
[07:39] <rdw200169_> saintmike: are there any interesting files in the directory?
[07:39] <Freku> maybe a bios setting in your laptop
[07:39] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i.e. 'installation_log' or something like that?
[07:39] <ramontayag> ubd: i'm no expert so best if someone else helps you out there. but you gotta do some editing in x11.. i always feel like i'm gonna destroy something when i do that.
[07:39] <Things> http://paste.ubuntu.com/71253/
[07:39] <c_korn> hello
[07:39] <saintmike> rdw200169_: mail.err.....
[07:39] <judgen> aaron what are you trying to do?
[07:39] <rdw200169_> ramontayag: for good reason...
[07:39] <paul68> rdw200169_: I already have a tracking on persons trying to connect through ssh and warning me by mail if someone making an attempt on that part
[07:39] <c_korn> this is my xorg.conf http://paste.debian.net/21347/
[07:39] <drunk> ubd, are you using nvidia?
[07:39] <ubd> freku bios cant ıdentıfy the monıtors there are two options: auto/both
[07:40] <saintmike> rdw200169_: duno if it means something....
[07:40] <rdw200169_> paul68: that's pretty paranoid.
[07:40] <aaron_> I want to change my usplash screen when I login
[07:40] <ramontayag> rdw200169_: hehe.. yeah :)
[07:40] <c_korn> but the edid information are not being loaded when X starts up
[07:40] <alex_mayorga> Cpudan80, I'll try that tomorrow I guess
[07:40] <Cpudan80> Things: is your ethernet cable plugged in?
[07:40] <rdw200169_> saintmike: nah, not that one...
[07:40] <Fish-Guts> hello. i have a problem with the clipboard in rdesktop under hardy. i connect to a windows 2003 terminal server, using RDPv5 and i pass -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD. but the clip doesn't work all. any ideas what might be the problem?
[07:40] <ubd> drunk: no i have an intel chip
[07:40] <Cpudan80> Things: you cant run both things at once
[07:40] <rdw200169_> saintmike: alright, do an exit
[07:40] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i.e. type exit
[07:40] <Things> I know, im on ethernet now, but when i'm not, wireless wont connect at all
[07:40] <rdw200169_> saintmike: and get back to the debian installer menu
[07:40] <rdw200169_> saintmike: what are the last three options in the menu?
[07:40] <drunk> c_korn, "sudo nvidia-settings"
[07:41] <judgen> aaron there is a gnome app for that: sudo apt-get install startupmanager
[07:41] <Cpudan80> Things: But You need to unplug the ethernet cable to test those setting changes
[07:41] <Things> when I click on the network icon on the taskbar, my wireless network isnt in the list
[07:41] <aaron_> oh thank you so much ^^
[07:41] <Cpudan80> hrm.............
[07:41] <bazhang> Things, does iwconfig show your essid
[07:41] <Things> Yes
[07:41] <saintmike> rdw200169_: i dont think its getting back to menu...
[07:41] <judgen> aaron_ there is a gnome app for that: sudo apt-get install startupmanager
[07:41] <bazhang> Things, using wep/wpa/none
[07:41] <paul68> rdw200169_: I know don't mind if that person connects through ssh since it's someone that helped me out building the server, but just want to make sure that (since he's more experienced then me) is trying to take over my server for whatever reason without me knowing it
[07:41] <rdw200169_> paul68: what are you using to do that, or is it a specific part of ssh?
[07:41] <Things> No encryption
[07:41] <judgen> c_korn: what are you trying to do?
[07:42] <paul68> rdw200169_: no it's a script that I put together
[07:42] <bazhang> Things, sudo dhclient wlan0 followed by your user password
[07:42] <rdw200169_> paul68: ah, what i'm talking about takes statistical information on the whole mess
[07:42] <rdw200169_> paul68: http://www.ntop.org/news.html
[07:43] <saintmike> rdw200169_: its showing ">"...
[07:43] <c_korn> drunk: and what then? the point is that my display has a max resolution of 1280x800. and no other resolution can be chosen. so I acquired the edid information of the display and also activated lower resolutions. (to play some 800x600 only games)
[07:43] <Things> hmm
[07:43] <rdw200169_> saintmike: and you typed 'exit'?
[07:43] <Things> brb i'll unplug ethernet
[07:43] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yeah
[07:43] <rdw200169_> saintmike: and it won't let you out?

[07:47] <djxcqtion> ?? can anyone help solve this extremely annyoninhg issue
[07:47] <needhelpnoob> hi can someone help me to reinstall grub? i've read the tutorial but it doesnt help
[07:47] <{^KinG^}> Ubuntu Unknown option "–enable-gpl"
[07:47] <{^KinG^}> why i see that
[07:47] <rdw200169_> saintmike: alright, can you 'chroot /target' ?
[07:47] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yeah....
[07:47] <bazhang> djxcqtion, install from repos
[07:48] <saintmike> rdw200169_: any suggestion to prevent installation error sir?>
[07:48] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: what's the issue
[07:48] <rdw200169_> saintmike: there's no way to know, until we figure out the error that's preventing it!
[07:48] <drunk> needhelpnoob, use the live cd to partition your drives the same way you have them, make sure you choose NOT to format any of them and install, it will install grub without changing any of your files
[07:48] <xukun> I,m using ubuntu 8.04 64 bits, I can't view the video from Youtube. I know I need some kind of plugin for firefox to display this but which one for 64bits?
[07:48] <rdw200169_> saintmike: what i want to try now, is installing ssh-server, and try to get in that way
[07:48] <saintmike> rdw200169_: i had just restarted the vm and it does nt do a thing...
[07:48] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install torrentflux djxcqtion
[07:49] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: i installed ubuntu 8.04 within windows. so im not sure if those instructions will help
[07:49] <rdw200169_> saintmike: switch the boot order, to use the cd first
[07:49] <ikonia> needhelpnoob no that changes things
[07:49] <needhelpnoob> so what should i do instead?
[07:49] <rdw200169_> saintmike: now that there's something on the "hdd" it's trying to boot there.. but you have to specify cd, so it tries that first
[07:49] <saintmike> rdw200169_: cd is the first boot order sir...
[07:49] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: what is the problem
[07:49] <rdw200169_> saintmike: and it doesn't do anythign?
[07:49] <needhelpnoob> well when i find stage1 folder it says file not found
[07:49] <MHz128> hey all!

[07:50] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: i was booting into ubuntu using windows bootloader. now i have deleted windows and can not get into bootloader menu
[07:50] <saintmike> i think i have to do the same procedure agein...
[07:51] <rdw200169_> saintmike: regardless, it won't bring you to the installation menu fro mthe cd?
[07:51] <djxcqtion> i have been gettig
[07:51] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: and also my ubuntu was installed within windows on an ntfs disk
[07:51] <djxcqtion> thsi mssge whenever i log in to my server
[07:51] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: and you won't because your grub stage one files where on the windows parrition
[07:51] <bazhang> djxcqtion, no need; install the intrepid version (its version 2.4.1)
[07:51] <saintmike> rdw200169_: duno....
[07:51] <bazhang> MHz128, conky
[07:51] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: so what can i do about it?
[07:51] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: if you have deleted your windows data - then the grub data will be gone
[07:51] <rdw200169_> saintmike: y'know, you could try using VirtualBox, i nkow for a fact that it installs fine from that
[07:51] <{^KinG^}> Ubuntu Unknown option "–enable-gpl"
[07:51] <{^KinG^}> Ubuntu Unknown option "–enable-gpl"
[07:52] <MHz128> bazhang, ive installed conky, but its more of a terminal based display....
[07:52] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: you've installed "within windows" - so you've deleted your ubuntu data also
[07:52] <goofrider> can i get some help please? i'm having a hard time chainging group/user SIDs
[07:52] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: there is a folder called ubuntu on my windows partition. it has a folder called boot and "stage1"
[07:52] <saintmike> rdw200169_: would intalling a higher version help?
[07:52] <rdw200169_> MHz128: conky is awesome...
[07:52] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: so you still have your windows data/partition ?
[07:52] <rdw200169_> saintmike: of vmware?
[07:52] <woody86> why is opera not available under add/remove programs any longer?
[07:52] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yes
[07:52] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: yes
[07:52] <bazhang> !opera > woody86
[07:53] <MHz128> rdw200169_, are there themes for it? mine looks like a terminal window
[07:53] <rdw200169_> saintmike: bollocks to vmware... wait did i say that?
[07:53] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: then what do you mean when you say you've removed windows ?
[07:53] <saintmike> rdw200169_: hehehehhehehe
[07:53] <rdw200169_> MHz128: no, but there are a lot of config file versions in a few threads on ubuntu-forums
[07:53] <saintmike> rdw200169_: anyway, thanx sir....gona take a coffee and cigarete....hehehehehe
[07:53] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: i removed everything within the windows partition apart from ubuntu folders since they were affected by viruses
[07:53] <rdw200169_> MHz128: and a big mention of major modifications to conky in lifehacker.com
[07:54] <MHz128> cool
[07:54] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: now i need some way of booting into my existing ubuntu installation
[07:54] <saintmike> rdw200169_: helps keep me cool....hahahahha
[07:54] <drunk> MHz128, if that program is running on my desktop how do i figure out what it's called?
[07:55] <rdw200169_> saintmike: seriously, take a shot at vbox, it's free, you don't have to use a 'machine-creator' like you do for the 'free' vmware player...
[07:55] <rdw200169_> saintmike: and it works very very well....
[07:55] <MHz128> drunk, ???
[07:55] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: anythign to suggest?
[07:55] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yeah....i think im gona do that....
[07:55] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: I see, well I don't know how wubi interfaces with ntfs partitions without windows
[07:56] <saintmike> rdw200169_: i dont recall having any ubuntu installations with desktop edition...
[07:56] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: so there's nothing i can do?
[07:56] <rdw200169_> paul68: there are also a lot of fantastic network monitoring tools that work on the command line for watching your traffic...
[07:56] <rdw200169_> saintmike: what do you mean?
[07:56] <goofrider> can i get some help please? i'm having a hard time chainging group/user SIDs
[07:56] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: I didn't say that, I said I don't know how wubi sets up grub to interface within ntfs partitons without windows
[07:56] <paul68> rdw200169_: thanks this script is going to send every hour from 8 am to 22 pm and keeps everything behind after 10 pm till the next day
[07:56] <c_korn> drunk: thanks. will test that later
[07:56] <needhelpnoob> ok thanks anyway
[07:57] <akrill> anyone here have experience setting up bind9 on ubuntu?
[07:57] <ikonia> akrill: what's up
[07:57] <BlackDex> Hello there,
[07:57] <BlackDex> I have a problem
[07:57] <paul68> rdw200169_: if you have some links I will look into it
[07:57] <saintmike> rdw200169_: i meant errors in ubuntu desktop installation...
[07:57] <BlackDex> i have a new screen 24" Samsung
[07:57] <BlackDex> it supports a resolution of 1920x1200
[07:57] <MHz128> rdw200169_, what is the extension for config files for conky? test.conf ?
[07:57] <BlackDex> but i can't get it to display this
[07:57] <akrill> ikonia: having trouble getting bind to respond to queries. keep getting a 5(REFUSED)
[07:57] <rdw200169_> saintmike: it might be something to do with the standard debian installer, i don't know, only that ubuntu destkop, (not alternate) uses ubuquity instead of the deb installer
[07:58] <ikonia> akrill: what policyes have you setup in your named.conf ?
[07:58] <rdw200169_> MHz128: i think it's ~/conkyrc
[07:58] <saintmike> rdw200169_: what version of vbox would you suggest....
[07:58] <BlackDex> A friend of mine has the same display and there it works fine
[07:58] <BlackDex> but he installed ubuntu after he got the new screen
[07:58] <rdw200169_> saintmike: i use the svn version, but it's a bit of a pain to get working, b/c you have to compile it
[07:59] <akrill> ikonia: i have the default configuration right now. (aside from adding a nameserver to forwarders)
[07:59] <akrill> ikonia: so, no policies.
[07:59] <MHz128> rdw200169_, .conckyrc means hidden correct?
[07:59] <ikonia> akrill: show me your config in a pastebin
[07:59] <saintmike> rdw200169_: wait....would ubuntu server allow installation in hdd through usb?
[07:59] <rdw200169_> MHz128: yeah,
[07:59] <saintmike> rdw200169_: with vmware....?
[07:59] <gareth_> hey there dvds refuse to play in my intrepid ibex install any ideas?
[07:59] <rdw200169_> saintmike: what do you mean?
[07:59] <saintmike> rdw200169_:  or with typical installtion?
[08:00] <xukun> is there a way to play Youtube video on ubuntu 8.04 64bits?
[08:00] <saintmike> rdw200169_: i have this desktop pc...lying around and an hdd w usb....
[08:00] <ikonia> xukun: isntall the flashplugin-nonfree package
[08:00] <BlackDex> i have tried to change the xorg.conf, but without success
[08:00] <rdw200169_> saintmike: with the way linux works, it shouldn't matter
[08:00] <akrill> ikonia: k hang on
[08:00] <saintmike> rdw200169_: can i install ubuntu server in usb?
[08:00]  * MHz128 Conky is awesome!!!
[08:00] <rdw200169_> saintmike: sure, shoudn't matter
[08:00] <saintmike> yeah....
[08:01] <saintmike> rdw200169_: maybe il try that...
[08:01] <saintmike> but i only have 7 gb of free space....
[08:01] <xukun> ikonia, that is already installed.
[08:01] <rdw200169_> saintmike: in the partition manager, from the installer, just specify /dev/sda, or something like that, just like a SATA drive
[08:01] <saintmike> rdw200169_: would it matter?
[08:01] <rdw200169_> saintmike: just depends on whether or not the installer correctly detects the drive, it should
[08:02] <akrill> ikonia: http://dpaste.com/90420/
[08:02] <saintmike> rdw200169_: okies....
[08:02] <Mba7eth> how can i test if a firewall in the middle is blocking port 80 using nmap ?
[08:02] <saintmike> rdw200169_:  il try that...
[08:02] <rdw200169_> saintmike: the installer won't care that it's usb, it gets a standard /dev/ assignment just like any other drive
[08:02] <metrick> when i try to mount my secondary hard drive using the command mount /dev/sdb /my/location it says i need to specify a filesystem type. the filesystem type is fat32, how do i enter that into the command properly?
[08:02] <saintmike> rdw200169_: okies...
[08:02] <goofrider> anyone can help me change SIDs in Samba? I spent all day searching the interwebs already
[08:02] <rdw200169_> saintmike: just make sure you're installing to the right drive, sometimes it's hard to tell from the partition manager
[08:02] <ikonia> akrill: what is <IP_ADDRESS> ? is that your machine ?
[08:03] <gareth_> hey there dvds refuse to play in my intrepid ibex install any ideas?

[08:03] <saintmike> rdw200169_: yeah..im gona remove the drive m using....to keep it safe...hehehhehe
[08:03] <rdw200169_> metrick: i.e. mount -t vfat /dev/*** /mount/***
[08:03] <smokewon> Hey can someone here take a look at my post here on the forums, i need a bit of help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6166187&postcount=1
[08:03] <giacomo_> could someone help me please? I've " Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries" on just compiled virtualbox-ose
[08:03] <metrick> thank you
[08:03] <akrill> ikonia: no, thats my ISPs nameserver
[08:04] <paul68> rdw200169_: if you have some links I will look into it
[08:04] <ikonia> akrill: is your isp's name server set to allow delegation from you ?
[08:04] <rdw200169_> metrick: you should read the manpage on mount for the options for that partition type, i.e. permissions etc...
[08:04] <rdw200169_> paul68: for what/
[08:04] <akrill> ikonia: that's a great question. i have no idea.
[08:04] <ikonia> akrill: if the answer is no - thats why your getting refused
[08:04] <akrill> ikonia: alright, then im guessing probably not. hang on
[08:04] <rdw200169_> paul68: ah, yes, check this, http://www.greamin.com/server/RichServer.html
[08:05] <ikonia> akrill: most isp's dns servers will not be setup to accetp queries from external dns servers
[08:05] <rdw200169_> paul68: all the application names are linked to their appropriate develper portals, etc...
[08:05] <paul68> rdw200169_: thanks
[08:06] <rdw200169_> paul68: check out iptraf, it's pretty powerful
[08:06] <rdw200169_> alright, off to bed
[08:06] <akrill> ikonia: that's apparently not the problem, i just changed it to a dns server i know allows such queries and it still gives me a 5(REFUSED)
[08:06] <ikonia> akrill: which dns server ?
[08:07] <ikonia> akrill: query and delegation are two different things
[08:07] <gareth_> hey there dvds refuse to play in my intrepid ibex install any ideas?
[08:07] <paul68> rdw200169_: will do
[08:07] <akrill> ikonia: opendns's servers
[08:07] <ikonia> akrill: do they allow delegation ?
[08:07] <ikonia> akrill: I thought they where just dns zone hosts
[08:08] <akrill> ikonia: they allow delegation, im pretty sure yes
[08:08] <akrill> ikonia: https://www.opendns.com/smb/start/device/bind
[08:09] <ikonia> akrill: ok - thats a good call
[08:09] <ikonia> akrill: so what does the named logs say
[08:09] <davidw> can you guys think of any reason this is not 'high' priority? https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/272185
[08:10] <con-man> im having trouble reading a dvd that was put in my drive, its a data-disc, am I missing anything do I need to install something?
[08:10] <con-man> its the WoTLK expansion, but there are only 2 files on the disc both 1.3 MB
[08:10] <akrill> ikonia: great question -- where is the log file located? i wasnt able to find it. (i figure i have to set up logging in the named.conf first?)
[08:10] <ikonia> akrill: thats correct, set it up, or run bind with a debug option of -d 9
[08:11] <akrill> ikonia: ok hang on a sec
[08:11] <goofrider> gareth_, did u install w32codes and libcss, etc?
[08:11] <con-man> anything to read dvds?
[08:12]  * davidw goes to fuck around with the driver
[08:12] <bazhang> davidw, no cursing
[08:12] <goofrider> con-man, data-dvds should be readable without extra tools. Is the disc readable on a different comp? can the drive read CDs?
[08:12] <ikonia> davidw: you know the rules on the language
[08:12] <davidw> ikonia, no, I didn't, sorry
[08:13] <con-man> goofrider: drives are fine, no other computer to try
[08:13] <con-man> goofrider: Im getting permissions issues

[08:14] <needhelpnoob> im getting errors in gparted when partitioning a drive. can anyone help?
[08:14] <ikonia> akrill: have you turned teh debugging up to 9
[08:14] <goofrider> con-man, you need to be in the "cdrom" group
[08:15] <metrick> I finally mounted my secondary drive but i cant write to it, how do i add permissions to write to it?
[08:15] <akrill> ikonia: aah, no. doing that now
[08:15] <paul68> rdw200169_: if I connect an accesspoint to my server on the 2nd eth do I need to do another nat translation or is that done automaticly?
[08:15] <goofrider> <--- I still need help with samba BTW
[08:16] <akrill> ikonia: recursion not available?

[08:16] <mddd> hi anyone there
[08:16] <akrill> ikonia: thats the only interesting new log msg
[08:16] <paul68> rdw200169_: just to be sure
[08:16] <ikonia> akrill: ok so add "recursion yes;" to the named.conf
[08:16] <mddd> can some please help me in installing nvidia drivers
[08:16] <ikonia> akrill: you may ewant to then consider locking down the dns server as you are opening it up with that option
[08:17] <ikonia> akrill: your isp may ake you off the network if you have an open dns server (just a heads up)
[08:17] <needhelpnoob> im getting errors in gparted when partitioning a drive. can anyone help? i can pastebin the error log!
[08:18] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: what is the error ?
[08:18] <goofrider> can anyone help me? Whenever I try to change the samba user SID with pdbedit, I get the error "tdb_update_sam: struct samu ([username]) with no RID!

[08:18] <mddd> does anyone know how to install nvidia drivers in ubuntu 8.10
[08:18] <knittl> hi ubunteros! i'm having a description how to connect to a vpn… but only for windows machines. can anybody help me, i can't connect (connection failed is the error message…)
[08:19] <ikonia> mddd: open thhardware drivers manager from system -> administration and enable the nvidia drivers
[08:19] <rootrot> Hi i named my computer "david keresh" and now everyuthing on it says david,how can i change this?
[08:19] <akrill> ikonia: the server is already locked down, and my ISP wont care about an open DNS server.
[08:19] <akrill> ikonia: the log is still saying recursion isnt avaiable...
[08:19] <ikonia> akrill: according to your config file it's not open
[08:19] <ikonia> akrill: according to your config file it's not locked down
[08:19] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: it puts the error in a html file. do you want me to pastebin it for you?
[08:19] <mddd> ikonia: i did ,i intalled the 177 drivers also but they don't work as when i try to use visual effects ,the message comes u can't use
[08:20] <akrill> ikonia: well, i mena the server itself is locked down tight. the only DNS traffic allowed in is coming over a secure VPN
[08:23] <ikonia> akrill: sorry - lost my connection for a moment
[08:23] <ikonia> mdeslaur: what video cad do you have
[08:23] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: just explain the problem
[08:23] <akrill> ikonia: no problem. i had said that the server itself is locked down pretty tight -- pretty much the only traffic allowed is comes over a secure vpn
[08:23] <milligan_> Anyone know of a good guide to usage of jailer from the repos ?
[08:24] <q0r3> hey all.  just did a fresh install of 8.10 a few days ago.  i have all the repos enabled, but i don't see the lamp package anywhere in synaptic.  any ideas?
[08:24] <joebodo> !nfo jailer
[08:24] <ikonia> akrill: so you now have te allow recursion option
[08:24] <joebodo> !info jailer
[08:24] <ikonia> akrill: and you have restarted bind
[08:24] <knittl> hi ubunteros! i'm having a description how to connect to a vpn… but only for windows machines. can anybody help me, i can't connect (connection failed is the error message…)
[08:24] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: i try partitioning my drive. halfway through the process it comes up with an error. the error isnt described, only that it has been posted in a file on my root folder. i can pastebin the contents of the log for you?
[08:24] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: also im using gparted
[08:24] <akrill> ikonia: yup. and its still saying recursion isnt available in the log
[08:24] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: ok
[08:25] <ikonia> akrill: show me your updated file please.
[08:25] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m7d008d1
[08:26] <q0r3> ...anyone know what happened to the LAMP package in synaptic?
[08:26] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: the error is clear. " #
[08:26] <ikonia> The NTFS journal file is unclean. Please shutdown Windows properly before
[08:26] <ikonia> #
[08:26] <ikonia> using this software!
[08:26] <FloodBot2> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:26] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: your disk is "dirty" your not in a good sitatuion
[08:26] <akrill> ikonia: actually hang on just one sec i think i have an idea
[08:26] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: :S
[08:27] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: what would you suggest?
[08:27] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: you need to boot into windows and run chkdisk - but as you don't have windows thats an issue
[08:27] <ikonia> akrill: no problem
[08:27] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: my suggestion is to install ubuntu properly, not using in my opinion bad/pointless technologies like wubi
[08:27] <paul68> rdw200169_:  are you still present?
[08:28] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: yep. also i tried installing windows onto that partition. it runs chdisk but freezes at 20% for a long time. should i leave that running/will it finish checking the disk?
[08:28] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: depends on the state of your disk
[08:28] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: i tried installling ubuntu from livecd. on the partition part of install it gives me an error saying partition is too small.. even tho i set it to use free space (200gb+)
[08:29] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: free space - is not unallocated
[08:29] <test124> test
[08:29] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: from what you have said you have %100 allocated space
[08:29] <try2free> where to get printer driver for epson lq 2180?
[08:29] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: so the partitioner wont automatically resize the partition and use the free space?
[08:30] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: you have no free space
[08:30] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: your space is %100 allocated
[08:30] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: :S
[08:30] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: delete the partition
[08:31] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: im trying to avoid that since i have a lot of valuable stuff stored on it. with no space to back it up on my other drives
[08:31] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: your out of luck then
[08:31] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: if i could just burn gparted live cd from ubuntu live cd...
[08:31] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: you can't
[08:31] <Mba7eth> how can i test if my firewall is dropping my packets ?
[08:31] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: you have %100 allocated space and a dirty ntfs disk
[08:32] <akrill> ikonia: so its doing the recursive query if i query from localhost but not if i query from a host on the VPN
[08:32] <goofrider> anyone can help me with samb pdbedit to change sid?
[08:32] <akrill> ikonia: so im guessing i have to explicitly allow recursive queries from those hosts?
[08:32] <ikonia> akrill: ahhh so you need to set some poicies I'm guessing to open it up more
[08:32] <ikonia> akrill: although from your config it looks quite open
[08:33] <bluefoxx> hiya. i have a screen res problem here. i just installed Ibex on my tecra 8200, after tiring of windows screwing my schoolwork up. problem here is, though everything runs nice enough, x shows up in 800x600 oon a 1024x768 native screen, with no option to go higher. the internal adaptor is a trident cyberblade xp if that helps any
[08:33] <bluefoxx> now in the past i would have edited xorg.conf but as i hear it, we obliterated the need for that somehow
[08:33] <bluefoxx> anyone here able to help out ?
[08:33] <Frogzoo> Mba7eth: iptables -L -v
[08:34] <ziroday> bluefoxx: editing the xorg.conf works. Tried installing the trident drivers?
[08:34] <BlackDex> Distro: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). I have a 24" monitor which supports a resolution of 1920x1200, but i can't select this resolution. A friend of mine has exact the same monitor, and the same distro, and the same desktop computer, and it works like a charm on his computer. The only difference is that he installed ubuntu after the 24" monitor was connected, and i had ubuntu already installed before. I have tried to change the xorg.conf but no
[08:34] <BlackDex> success.
[08:34] <BlackDex> I googled also, but all speak about editing the xorg.conf. What can i do to fix this? Thx in advance
[08:34] <Mba7eth> Frogzoo: thanks alot :)
[08:34] <ziroday> BlackDex: tried copying and using his xorg.conf?
[08:35] <test124> bluefoxx: maybe u can try "Xorg -configure" to automate the xorg.conf, just need to replace /etc/X11/xorg.conf (after backup) with the recently created.
[08:35] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: this is what im looking at atm: http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotqp6.png
[08:35] <bluefoxx> ziroday, is that nessiciary>? i thought trident was kind of dead, and drivers were too
[08:35] <bluefoxx> test124, xorg.conf is still around than?
[08:35] <BlackDex> ziroday: he has the same xorg.conf :S
[08:35] <ziroday> bluefoxx: believe so about the drivers. What drivers do you normally use?
[08:35] <ziroday> BlackDex: does the issue happen on a livecd?
[08:36] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: how does that change anything from what I've said ?
[08:36] <BlackDex> nope
[08:36] <ziroday> bluefoxx: you might want to read this as well http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-763964.html
[08:36] <test124> bluefoxx: "Xorg -configure" does create a xorg.conf in local dir. this needs to be moved in the standard /etc/... thing. at least worth a try
[08:36] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: lol ok
[08:36] <akrill> ikonia: hmmm how would i set up a policy that would allow recursion for <IP_ADDRESS>/16?
[08:36] <bluefoxx> ziroday, the default ones here, my laptops generally have not got a nvidia/ati gpu in them
[08:36] <needhelpnoob> ikonia: sorry to repeat... but that means i cant continue from that step?
[08:36] <ikonia> akrill: hang on I'll pastebin my own config - I'm using views so that may give you a clue
[08:37] <mddd> hey i was able to install the nvidia drivers ,thanx ikonia
[08:37] <ikonia> needhelpnoob: you are locked in your istuation
[08:37] <ziroday> bluefoxx: okay, right well it sounds like you have done this before? You can use the same settings in xorg.conf just fine
[08:37] <mddd> i just needed to restart
[08:37] <akrill> ikonia: ok, cool.
[08:37] <ditch64> !grub
[08:37] <bluefoxx> ziroday, i have edited my xorg.conf in the past, but that was between 7.04 and 8.04
[08:38] <ziroday> bluefoxx: looked under System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and System > Preferences > Screen Resolution?
[08:38] <bluefoxx> ziroday, and it always had all the parts done already
[08:38] <ikonia> akrill: it will be a bit over the top - but shows you how to use the acl's
[08:38] <ziroday> bluefoxx: what edits would you make?
[08:38] <bluefoxx> ziroday, first thing i did
[08:38] <bluefoxx> ziroday, mostly things under a pre-made 'screens' and 'monitors' sections
[08:39] <BigMike> .
[08:39] <r3c0n> please can anyone tell me how to increase the log level so i get a better understanding of whats going on with amavis and spamassasin?
[08:39] <bluefoxx> ziroday, change the default/capable resolutions
[08:39] <ziroday> bluefoxx: well you can still edit xorg.conf with those changes you used to make and it will work just fine
[08:39] <bluefoxx> oh?
[08:39] <ziroday> bluefoxx: yep
[08:39] <r3c0n> log level "depth"
[08:39] <Mba7eth> if a linksys router is filtering port 80 .... is it possible for some packets to pass thru ? - if high traffic is passing at the same time ?
[08:39] <mddd> can some please tell me the best screen recorder for ubuntu which is free
[08:39] <BigMike> ????why I am getting so many upgrades for ubuntu with KDE desktop installed???? Is there really that many at this time all at once????
[08:40] <bluefoxx> ziroday, xorg -configure?
[08:40] <bazhang> !screencast | mddd
[08:40] <ziroday> bluefoxx: eh?
[08:40] <bluefoxx> is that the command to run?
[08:40] <ziroday> BigMike: they are security and reliability updates
[08:40] <mddd> bazhang:is screencast the best one? i
[08:40] <ikonia> akrill: http://paste.ubuntu.com/71274/
[08:40] <ziroday> bluefoxx: sorry, you want to edit your xorg.conf manually. Correct?
[08:40] <Frogzoo> BigMike: ubuntu often spams updates shortly after release
[08:40] <ziroday> !best > mddd
[08:41] <bluefoxx> ziroday, yes, but it is empty.
[08:41] <ziroday> mddd: and I would recomend gtk-recordmydesktop
[08:41] <akrill> ikonia: awesome. thanks
[08:41] <test124> bluefoxx: "Xorg -configure" after an X kill (ctrl+backspace, ATTENTION! irc iwll quit ;)) then copy to /etc/X11/xorg.conf the created file
[08:41] <BigMike> ok ty I am just afraid to get version 8  is all it wont run on my laptop
[08:41] <ikonia> akrill: I've removed my public ip's and replaced with "public_ip" where one should be,just fyi
[08:41] <test124> bluefoxx: but backup the old xorg.conf before
[08:41] <bluefoxx> ziroday, let me log on to freenode on my desktop than > >
[08:41] <mddd> ok i will try both
[08:41] <mddd> thanx
[08:41] <ziroday> bluefoxx: it should not be empty, how are you opening it?
[08:41] <bluefoxx> test124, it's blank
[08:41] <akrill> ikonia: i figured.
[08:41] <bluefoxx> it exists, but is utterly blank
[08:42] <test124> bluefoxx: hehe ah yeah. well try "Xorg -configure while X is killed (ctrl backspace)" and there should be more content than after a live cd instal
[08:42] <test124> bluefoxx: at leats it was for me :p
[08:42] <ziroday> bluefoxx: okay, that really shouldn't be. You sure you have the file location correct /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:42] <marko-_--> how can i play .ria files in ubuntu ?
[08:42] <akrill> ikonia: bingo! had to use allow-query along with recursion yes
[08:42] <akrill> ikonia: thanks :-)
[08:42] <bluefoxx> yes
[08:43] <bluefoxx> even /exec cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf did nothing
[08:43] <ikonia> akrill: no problem
[08:43] <ikonia> akrill: some of the error messages can be a little confusing
[08:43] <gaintsura> David Allen Greer (Chocolate News) is doin this white woman with black baby skit, and the babys name is ubuntu =D lol
[08:43] <ziroday> bluefoxx: that is most odd. You can try the recover xorg (or something similar) in the recovery area
[08:43] <Flannel> gaintsura: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks.
[08:43] <akrill> ikonia:  indeed  o.o i really appreciate the help :-)
[08:43] <ikonia> akrill: not a problem
[08:44] <bluefoxx> like i said, gotta switch to my desktop
[08:44] <test124> bluefoxx: as said. give it a try. kill X (ctrl backspace), type "Xorg -configure" and see if the newly created xorg.conf.blablabla has content. ;)
[08:44] <gaintsura> my bad =X
[08:44] <ziroday> marko-_--: can they open in inkscape or gimp?
[08:44] <bluefoxx_> heh, silly me, used pass from another network
[08:46] <drumstyk1> could someone help me find a good program that would reformat an avi movie for playing on my 320x320 cell phone screen?

[08:48] <ditch64> "hd0,0" means what? HD 1 partition 0?
[08:49] <ziroday> ditch64: correct
[08:49] <kanhiya78> hello everyone
[08:49] <ditch64> kanhiya78: so if windows is on partition 3 i have to tell it hd0,3?

[08:49] <grep65535> ditch64: hd(0,2)
[08:49] <bluefoxx> ziroday; test124; Got it so far, will let you know if it works from here(if you want) thanks for all the help ^_^
[08:50] <ditch64> grep65535: thank you
[08:50] <sken> hello
[08:50] <test124> bluefoxx: good ;)
[08:50] <fosco_> metrick: make a mounted drive mountable? it has no sense :-?
[08:50] <grep65535> ditch64: 0 = partition 1, 1 = partition 2, etc
[08:50] <test124> does anybody know how to disassemble the mbr "dd if=/dev/hda of=... count=1" first 512 bytes? objdump wont recognize it as valid input.
[08:50] <metrick> lol,
[08:50] <sken> what are the packages that are being download when i write sudo apt-get update
[08:50] <sken> ?
[08:50] <grep65535> metrick: if it's mounted, the it's already.. mountable right?
[08:50] <bluefoxx> oog...now to hackup the xorg.conf file > >
[08:50] <metrick> lol let me reword
[08:50] <ditch64> grep65535: so dev/sda3 means partition 3?
[08:51] <ditch64> but partition 3 =2
[08:51] <ziroday> sken: they are basically lists of the packages that the server has and some other info
[08:51] <test124> bluefoxx: does it have content now?
[08:51] <marko-_--> ziroday, .ria files are video files it means Rich Internet Application
[08:51] <bluefoxx> test124; yes, but not all that i can work off of
