[05:44] <Jvik> Well.. Ill take it from scratch. I installed linux first once. I chose all harddrives as mountpoints or wtf its called, and i could find the harddrives. I had a lot of issues and had to format again, and i forgot to choose mount points for the other harddrives than the main harddrive. Now i cant find the harddrives where i have all my homework, movies, music, games and EVERYTHING
[05:44] <zzz__> c41R0: Sorry; I don't even know what SCIM means.
[05:44] <ardchoille> mr_grump5: ZOMG! I like.. I like :)
[05:45] <ikonia_> Jvik well they are either still there or you removed them when partitioning
[05:45] <Jvik> I have 2 harddrive. 1 at 120 and 1 at 320. The one at 120 has 2 partitions and one of them is the "main disk" with linux.

[05:50] <ikonia_> billy don't
[05:51] <SurR3AL> hey can anyone tel me what the diff's are b/w edgy & dapper? i'm REALLY new here :)
[05:51] <billy> ikonia: i'm honestly curious why you think I shouldn't.  I don't know one way or the other honestly.  ??

[05:51] <ikonia_> Jvik what command did you do to get that
[05:52] <kitche> SurR3AL: yes
[05:52] <FunnyLookinHat> SurR3AL, basically yes.  Edgy has some newer programs and applications/configurations.  In about a month an d ahalf there will be another new version released: Feisty Fawn
[05:52] <billy> ikonia:  well, if you could maybe be just a little more specific, maybe I could know why someone wouldn't want to install it.  ??
[05:52] <Jvik> ikonia_ that was some other stuff. What was the command that you wanted me  tu run ?
[05:52] <zzz__> ikonia_: He or she used cat /proc/partitions
[05:52] <ikonia_> billy because its made up of rubbish commands/scripts that fail a lot
[05:52] <ikonia_> Jvik I asked for "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb"
[05:52] <SurR3AL> okay coool :) sorry for askin dumb newbie questions, but can i update dapper to edgy without downloading the whole 700MB iso?
[05:52] <ikonia_> SurR3AL yes
[05:53] <Dr_willis> !update

[06:00] <_jason> juwain: sure, we can try.  But you need to ask a question first
[06:00] <ikonia_> Jvik "sudo umount /var/tmp/diska" and "sudo umount /tmp/diskb"
[06:00] <juwain> i've just installed ubuntu, configured the network, pings are ok, but i can't visit any page..
[06:00] <juwain> in the internet
[06:01] <zzz__> ikonia_: Shouldn't that be /var/tmp/diskb
[06:01] <zzz__> ?
[06:01] <jrib> !ipv6 | juwain
[06:01] <ubotu> juwain: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[06:01] <lightenup> raul:  you may want to rem out any refrences to your wifi card in /etc/network/interfaces
[06:01] <juwain> firefox says "connection timeout"...
[06:01] <tabman> brotherJohn1234: share Internet: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ) what is this ?

[06:02] <LucianSolaris> crap, what was the ubuntu general chat (not this chan)?

[06:02] <jrib> !offtopic | LucianSolaris
[06:02] <ubotu> LucianSolaris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:02] <Jvik> bash: cd: /var/tmp/diska: Permission denied ikonia_
[06:02] <LucianSolaris> kthxbye
[06:03] <juwain> should i disable ipv6?
[06:03] <zzz__> Jvik: Try the following: "sudo su -" and then try to cd into the directory again.
[06:03] <zzz__> Jvik: (Without the quotes that is.)
[06:03] <ikonia_> sorry someone was talking to me
[06:03] <ikonia_> jvik sudo -i
[06:04] <fbarc> Is the alternate install CD bootable???
[06:04] <ikonia_> fbarc yup
[06:04] <zzz__> fbarc: Yes.
[06:04] <Jvik> root@jvik:/var/tmp# sudo cd diska | sudo: cd: command not found
[06:05] <ikonia_> Jvik no - sudo -i
[06:05] <jrib> he's already root
[06:05] <ikonia_> jrib is he ?
[06:05] <ikonia_> so he is
[06:05] <fbarc> ikonia_ zzz__ thanks
[06:05] <ikonia_> well spotted
[06:05] <raul> lightenup: oh yes, I can edit this file and configure manually the wifi but, I remember in last installation the applet showme all wifi networks detectec and just a click to connect to them.
[06:05] <zzz__> Jvik: Don't use sudo to cd.
[06:05] <ikonia_> Jvik now that your root cd /var/tmp/diska
[06:05] <ikonia_> jrib nice spot
[06:05] <FunnyLookinHat> raul, you have to install network-manager-gnome for that  : )
[06:06] <FunnyLookinHat> raul, sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[06:06] <bippi> nvidia driver doesn't work anymore, modprove load it fine but then I got a black screen and a X segfault, could u help me?
[06:06] <Jvik> nice. Works fine. :) Is it possible to get those "directories" in "computer"?
[06:06] <lightenup> raul: yes but for network-manager-gnome to work properly you need to rem out all instances refrencing your wifi card (ie. eth1)
[06:06] <ikonia_> Jvik yes, just mount them using the gui
[06:06] <raul> FunnyLookinHat: Yes, installed it is... but, doesnt show me wifi, just wired net.
[06:07] <Jvik> I know, i am noob. Where in the gui ? :)
[06:07] <FunnyLookinHat> raul, hmm...  maybe it's not detecting your wireless card for some reason...
[06:07] <ikonia_> Jvik I don't have X running at th emoment so can't check - under system --> $somewhere
[06:07] <FunnyLookinHat> lightenup, not anymore I thought...
[06:07] <raul> lightenup: ohh go it
[06:08] <abisen> what is the recommended firewall for Ubuntu
[06:08] <lightenup> raul: what fixed it?
[06:08] <jrib> !firewall | abisen
[06:08] <ubotu> abisen: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:08] <abisen> i mean how do i enable / block ports in ubuntu
[06:08] <zzz__> Jvik: I can try to help you do that.
[06:08] <ikonia_> abisen iptables
[06:08] <ikonia_> zzz__ over to you - i have no gui
[06:08] <dromer> how can I (in a terminal) move the contents of a folder to the folder above it?
[06:09] <zzz__> ikonia_: Okay.
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> raul, yea what fixed it???
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> cause that was weird.
[06:09] <Jvik> zzz__ :) Where ?
[06:09] <ikonia_> zzz__ thank you
[06:09] <abisen> that is fine ... i mean in fedora i could just go to /etc/sysconfig/iptables and set my iptables line there
[06:09] <tremaljack> ci sono italiani?
[06:09] <ConstyXIV> dromer: cp -R * ..
[06:09] <abisen> and then start or stop the /etc/init.d/iptables
[06:10] <zzz__> Jvik: run the following commands: "sudo umount /var/tmp/diska" and "sudo umount /var/tmp/diskb"
[06:10] <abisen> but in ubuntu i cant find all that stuff .. what location are those files
[06:10] <tremaljack> ci sono italiani?
[06:10] <ikonia_> abisen ubuntu doesn't work in the same way
[06:10] <ikonia_> abisen you have to script your own firewal
[06:10] <ikonia_> !it >tremaljack
[06:10] <billy> Some installation instructions (SeaMonkey) are telling me *NOT* to install using `sudo`.   Should I choose a directory besides /usr/local/ to install to?
[06:11] <ikonia_> billy why do you not get seamonkey out of the ubuntu repo
[06:11] <abisen> ikonia_,  ouch so you mean i should have my own script file that enables / disables ports and execute it everytime i boot my machone
[06:11] <ikonia_> abisen yes
[06:11] <ikonia_> abisen you need to write it
[06:11] <billy> ikonia_, I don't see it in synaptic.  ??
[06:11] <ikonia_> billy hang on
[06:11] <zzz__> Jvik: Are you there?
[06:11] <Jvik> yeah. working on it
[06:11] <texas_john> i have problems with my isl3890 wlan card in edgy, which didn't occur in dapper. any experience?
[06:12] <Jvik> umount: /var/tmp/diska: device is busy
[06:12] <deafboy> I'm having issues with themes in firefox in ubuntu, even if i change my theme because i have a black default theme some text doesn't show up when i try to post on forums etc
[06:12] <ikonia_> billy your right - its not in there
[06:12] <ikonia_> Jvik cd /
[06:12] <billy> ikonia_, I saw some of the library files or some such.  but not seamonkey.
[06:13] <cosmin> i'm trying to find an irc adres wich is used in spain
[06:13] <cosmin> can you help me
[06:13] <Jvik> im done.. Now what ?
[06:13] <ikonia_> billy yeah, no seamonkey package
[06:13] <zzz__> Jvik: If you have other open terminals, cd out of the mount points.
[06:13] <ConstyXIV> cosmin: if youre talking about a spanish ubuntu channel, #ubuntu-es
[06:13] <Jvik> im done--
[06:13] <Jvik> lala
[06:13] <dinochopins> hi all
[06:13] <dinochopins> wanna ask simple question
[06:13] <dinochopins> i was a Fedora user
[06:13] <cosmin> thanks
[06:14] <ConstyXIV> dinochopins: and...
[06:14] <dinochopins> today just install Ubuntu 6.0.6
[06:14] <zzz__> Jvik: Now run the following as your regular user: gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[06:14] <dinochopins> just wondering what is the replacement for "service" command ?
[06:14] <ikonia_> dinochopins there isn't one
[06:14] <ikonia_> dinochopins use the init scripts
[06:14] <billy> ikonia_ i got the .tar.gz file.   Had a install README.  Says to *NOT* use sudo to install to /usr/local/.  But where can I put so that my menu's will see it so my wife can use it?
[06:14] <luk3> hi can anyone give me an idea of what the desktop system application is i keep seeing? im running ubuntu 6.10
[06:14] <zzz__> Jvik: Then enter the following lines at the end of the file:
[06:14] <raul> lightenup: now can not start nm-applet, gonna rem all packages and reinstall....
[06:14] <Jvik> ..
[06:15] <ConstyXIV> dinochopins: not a fedoraite, what's service?
[06:15] <dinochopins> ikonia_ : so, if I want to "service network restart" => "init network restart" ?
[06:15] <ikonia_> billy I don't use sea monkey so I don't know. I'd strongly advise you against dropping packages in outside of the ubuntu repo. Ask a packager to package sea monkey for you
[06:15] <deafboy> I'm having issues with themes in firefox in ubuntu, even if i change my theme because i have a black default theme some text doesn't show up when i try to post on forums etc
[06:15] <ikonia_> dinochopins no - you need to use the init script with a start/stop option
[06:15] <Jvik> What lines ?
[06:15] <ConstyXIV> dinochopins: i think it's /etc/init.d/(service) restart
[06:15] <dinochopins> ConstyXIV : something like restarting network, restarting samba services, etc
[06:15] <berent> !jdk
[06:15] <teeL> Im gonna buy some cat5 cable now. Do i need FTP or UTP? Its gonna be used with a switch =P
[06:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jdk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:15] <zzz__> This one: /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46  0  1
[06:15] <luk3> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Screenshot-6.png
[06:15] <billy> ikonia_. oh wow.  OK.  I'll take that bit of advice.  I'll do a search for a packager.  Thank you ... AGAIN.
[06:15] <luk3> right and side info bar?
[06:15] <zyth> deafboy, are you using the human theme for ubuntu?
[06:15] <luk3> anyone know the name?
[06:16] <zzz__> And this one: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46  0  1
[06:16] <deafboy> zyth: no
[06:16] <dinochopins> ikonia_ & ConstyXIV : i see.... let me try then :)
[06:16] <zyth> deafboy, it could be your theme.  Change it to the ubuntu default and see if you get the same issues in firefox.
[06:16] <deafboy> zyth: neutronium-high
[06:16] <zzz__> Jvik: Then create the mount points using the following: sudo mkdir /media/sda5 /media/sdb1
[06:16] <zyth> deafboy, oh that.  There's a css fix for it.  Read the readme
[06:16] <zzz__> Jvik: I have to go right now. I am sorry about this. I will be back within one hour.
[06:16] <dinochopins> Is there any Ubuntu e-book or something that can make a smooth migration from Fedora to Ubuntu ?
[06:17] <grndslm> anybody know why my network autoconfiguration worked the last time i installed edgy...but this time it stalls at DHCP request (on both live AND alternate CDs)...but the network is still up, the computer's ethernet still works with Windows, and the cable's plugged in???
[06:17] <Jvik> damn
[06:17] <zzz__> Jvik: Sorry again. I will be back within one hour.

[06:18] <ikonia_> search for svn client
[06:18] <zzz__> Jvik: ikonia_ should be able to help you if you have any problems regarding the instructions I just wrote.

[06:31] <Jvik> MINE = a name ?
[06:31] <erUSUL> !best
[06:31] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[06:31] <^Ocean^> i set up the other computer as a fresh install too see if it was having the same problem...
[06:31] <^Ocean^> and it does
[06:31] <erUSUL> Jvik: no just a joke see what ubotu just said
[06:31] <Jvik> erUSUL: maby not, but some are better thano thers.
[06:31] <^Ocean^> so i assume its something odd that ubuntu set some were...
[06:31] <Alam_Ubuntu> "deb http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu edgy stable #nvidia"
[06:31] <CyberCod> erUSUL, any way to automate that?  i am building a system to sell.... i want the buyer to enter the terminal and type in "onlinehelp" and come up all the way to #ubuntu channel
[06:31] <Jvik> than* others
[06:32] <Jvik> Whats suggested then ?
[06:32] <Trelard> i installed ubuntu 6.1 last night via the Alterative CD, it loads the splash screen but then the screen turns black. It is the AMD64 version. Anyone know of a fix?
[06:32] <^Ocean^> it was working fine, till i did a Dist-upgrade and then i lost the ability
[06:32] <raul> lightenup: thks, I remove the wifi ref in the /etc/network/interface and restart, now works fine
[06:32] <erUSUL> CyberCod: i dunno... sorry maybe some comand in ~/.irssi/config
[06:32] <unfo> CyberCod: um if you run a computer store or something, maybe it's not good to send too many clueless newbies to IRC without teaching them about IRC first :)
[06:33] <dromer> how can I (in a terminal) move the contents of a folder to the folder above it?
[06:33] <unfo> dromer: "the above folder" is ..
[06:33] <unfo> dromer: you can figure out the rest i bet :)
[06:33] <^Ocean^> dromer, cp -r Dir ../
[06:33] <theforge> are there any known issues concerning the ubuntu 6.10 desktop cdrom?
[06:33] <chorse> dromer: mv fileyouwanttomove ..
[06:33] <chorse> the two points represend the parent folder
[06:33] <Trelard> i installed ubuntu 6.1 last night via the Alterative CD, it loads the splash screen but then the screen turns black. It is the AMD64 version. Can anyone help?
[06:34] <dromer> chorse: I want an entire dir
[06:34] <unfo> theforge: dunno.  known issues are usually listed in the Release Notes webpage
[06:34] <theforge> Trelard: the same thing here.
[06:34] <Jvik> Can anyone suggest a good mp3 player ?
[06:34] <erUSUL> CyberCod: maybe a /layout save would do the trick? http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup#c4
[06:34] <unfo> Jvik: did you try rhythmbox?  does it suit your needs?
[06:34] <erUSUL> Jvik: i use rhythmbox
[06:34] <Trelard> theforge: you using an ATI card?
[06:34] <chorse> dromer: you mean "mv * .." ?
[06:34] <theforge> Trelard: loads splash screen then the screen goes blank and never comes back.
[06:34] <jrib> !player | Jvik
[06:34] <ubotu> Jvik: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[06:34] <erUSUL> Jvik: banshee is very similar
[06:35] <Trelard> theforge: same for me
[06:35] <Trelard> I think it
[06:35] <unfo> all : i use edgy, and recently stuff went weird with my computer.  For example, first the SlowKeys accessibility feature turned on for no reason.  Now I have no icons in the Applications, Places, or System menus.  Also, keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F10 stopped working.  There are a bunch of gconf-related messages in /var/log/messages like (translated from French) "gconfd (root-5546): Address 'xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf
[06:35] <unfo> resolves to a readonly configuration source at position 0"
[06:35] <unfo> any clue why?
[06:35] <jrib> chorse, dromer: that won't move files that start with a .
[06:35] <Trelard> the forge: I think it has something to do with it not working with some AT cards
[06:35] <grndslm> anybody know why my network autoconfiguration worked the last time i installed edgy...but this time it stalls at DHCP request (on both live AND alternate CDs)...but the network is still up, the computer's ethernet still works with Windows, and the cable's plugged in???
[06:35] <Jvik> looks like rythmbox works fine
[06:36] <Trelard> ATI even
[06:36] <theforge> Trelard: really. well that sucks.
[06:36] <dromer> jrib: got it
[06:36] <Trelard> theforge: i haven't found a fix after searchng the web
[06:36] <theforge> Trelard: knoppix v5.1.1 boots fine.
[06:36] <unfo> grndslm: try typing this inside Terminal: sudo ifup eth0
[06:37] <unfo> Jvik: yes, rhythmbox is nice, especially when you enable song ratings in Preferences.  Banshee is similar but has more features, IIRC album cover art and such.
[06:37] <theforge> Trelard: hang on let me boot knoppix and see exactly what video card is in the mahcine.
[06:37] <unfo> theforge: wait
[06:37] <grndslm> unfo:  i've tried /etc/init.d/networking restart and it just complains about no dhcp lease or something...i'm booting my laptop now, had alternate install cd n
[06:37] <biz> hello, i'm using ubuntu on a system that has no way to connect to the internet. is there a way to update this system with a new ubuntu cd or something? any ideas how i can keep it relatively up-to-date using cds/dvds?
[06:37] <Trelard> theforge: I read that earlier versions work and this is somethin with the edgy release
[06:37] <unfo> theforge: lspci -v usually will tell you your video card.
[06:37] <erUSUL> unfo: rhythmbox has album cover art too
[06:38] <unfo> erUSUL: cool! how do i see it?
[06:38] <nothlit> rythmbox's cover art is very nicely done
[06:38] <uFo-Z> hi all. oehm, i need an ftp client wich can handle ssl . does gftp cant do this ?
[06:38] <^Ocean^> Is there any way to get my Ctrl alt +/- to work again it no longer scrolls through my resolutions.  I have checked my x.org config file, and it dont apear to be disabled any were in the file...
[06:38] <nothlit> it automatically appears on the left bottom side
[06:38] <unfo> biz: in ye olde days, with Debian Linux, they used to use apt-zip, though I suspect there are better ways nowadays.
[06:39] <Jvik> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. Why do i get this when i try to compile files
[06:39] <Jvik> i want to install irssi
[06:39] <Babub1> uFo-Z: gFTP can be compiled with SSL support, not sure if the version on the official repos does.
[06:39] <ikonia_> Jvik irssi is in the repo
[06:39] <unfo> Jvik: you should never compile anything that's available through Add/Remove Programs.
[06:39] <ikonia_> Jvik you don't have to compile it
[06:39] <unfo> it's too much work :)
[06:39] <ikonia_> Jvik I've told you this before - check the repo
[06:39] <Jvik> i didnt find it there

[06:41] <gb__> hi
[06:41] <teeL> How do i list samba users? I screwed it up when trying a gui =\
[06:41] <unfo> teeL: what are samba "users"?
[06:41] <unfo> :)
[06:41] <Jvik> found it in apt-get but not Add/remove programs
[06:41] <unfo> all : i use edgy, and recently stuff went weird with my computer.  For example, first the SlowKeys accessibility feature turned on for no reason.  Now I have no icons in the Applications, Places, or System menus.  Also, keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F10 stopped working.    Does anyone have even the slightest clue how I can troubleshoot this?  I suspect, but am not sure, that this is due to a recent software update.
[06:41] <grndslm> unfo:  ifup eth0 gave "interface eth0 already configured"  after restarting network "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port......" is repeated until it stops...
[06:41] <unfo> Jvik: then it'll be in System > Administration > Synaptic too.
[06:42] <grndslm> unfo:  i thought most local networks were <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:42] <grndslm> i don't know too much about networking, tho...
[06:42] <`nicola> My audio volume is too low. I raised rhythmbox and system volume but it's still low. what can I do ? thanks
[06:42] <gb__> anyone tried updating ubuntu edgy?
[06:42] <jrib> unfo: those gconf messages are normal
[06:42] <unfo> grndslm: do you know your router's IP address?
[06:42] <adioe3> Hello. Is there a difference in filesizes on a SATA and an IDE disk? I've just copied 600K from a SATA to an IDE disk and the IDE shows the file is 5.6M!!!
[06:42] <grndslm> yup
[06:42] <gb__> to latest new Ver.
[06:43] <Jvik> notice: i am new to linux
[06:43] <unfo> adioe3: what was the filename?
[06:43] <adioe3> regular
[06:43] <grndslm> unfo:  yes, i can ping it
[06:43] <adioe3> movie.avi
[06:43] <unfo> grndslm: what is the address?
[06:43] <grndslm> <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:43] <unfo> jrib: thank you for that info, so i'll ignore the messages.  But what could be causing the problem?
[06:43] <Jvik> uh.. Well now. Where can i find irssi when its installed? :P heh
[06:43] <zoli2k> Hi! Is squash file system patched to edgy kernel?
[06:43] <zoli2k> as default?
[06:44] <unfo> grndslm: try giving your computer a static IP address of maybe <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> then.
[06:44] <gb__> Jvik:  hi there
[06:44] <grndslm> unfo:  tried that
[06:44] <gb__> apt-get install irssi
[06:44] <jrib> unfo: did all the keyboard shortcuts stop working?  Do they work now?
[06:44] <Megaqwerty> Hello all, I'm having a problem when trying to backup my system to a windows share, (I'm doing this all in the CLI.) I mounted the share fine, and ran tar to bzip my filesystem (some directories excluded) to this mounted windows share. It works well for a while, but then something weird happens: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8103/ this happens every time I attempt it, and I get a very similar message when attempting to do it with gzip as
[06:44] <zoli2k> !squashfs > zoli2k
[06:44] <Jvik> it IS already installed, but i cant find it :p
[06:44] <gb__> Jvik:  it is konsole based tool
[06:44] <unfo> Megaqwerty: your message was chopped off after "gzip as" :)
[06:44] <gb__> p[en tterminal
[06:44] <gb__> type irssi
[06:44] <gb__> open*
[06:45] <Megaqwerty> unfo: well. The mounted share is now (after I get the error) inaccessible, and locks up whatever program I try to open it with (even 'cd'.) It then is accessible only after a reboot. Can anyone help?
[06:45] <bigjohntoday> Please has anyone used synergy here?
[06:45] <Megaqwerty> unfo: thanks
[06:45] <grndslm> unfo:  what...static ip did work....it didn't work last time, but last time i couldn't connect to the router
[06:45] <grndslm> unfo:  but why is dhcp still not receiving a lease?
[06:45] <unfo> grndslm: dunno.  Try rebooting the router and PC.  If you still can't get a lease, ask in ##networking
[06:45] <bigjohntoday> anyone?
[06:46] <grndslm> unfo:  thanks for the help!
[06:46] <gb__> cya all
[06:46] <gb__> bye bye
[06:46] <unfo> grndslm: no prob :)
[06:46] <unfo> bigjohntoday: maybe.  Just ask your question.  If nobody answers, try channel #synergy or ##linux :)
[06:46] <hjmills> hi - is anybody from the philippines online?
[06:46] <Jvik> is irssi only to be run from terminal ? :P
[06:46] <Jvik> heh
[06:46] <teeL> unfo: hehe. I just tried adding some users with a samba gui. But now i cant view shared folders or use the shared printer anymore =P
[06:47] <unfo> hjmills: there are philippines chat rooms on irc.EFnet.org
[06:47] <erUSUL> Jvik: yes xchat is for X
[06:47] <K3nto> 7GB should give me plenty of space to use with ubuntu right? 7gb bening the partition ubunut will go on
[06:47] <bigjohntoday> Windows synergy server, Linux synergy client, Linux synergy client won't start because it is trying to find display :0.0 how the heck do i get it to work?
[06:47] <hjmills> unfo, thanks
[06:47] <Jvik> :) Thanks for the info
[06:47] <unfo> bigjohntoday: that isn't a synergy question, that's an X question. :) is Gnome running?
[06:47] <unfo> K3nto: yes, if you won't store MP3s or movies on that partition.
[06:48] <jvik_> Is there any reason for running irssi instead of xchat ?
[06:48] <K3nto> nope
[06:48] <unfo> hjmills: np :)
[06:48] <K3nto> they would be goin on the root
[06:48] <K3nto> which will be 15gb
[06:48] <bigjohntoday> yes
[06:48] <erUSUL> Jvik: is more "geeky" XD
[06:48] <unfo> K3nto: note also that you can resize partitions later if you really need to.
[06:48] <hjmills> Jvik, if you only have access to a console or just prefer the interface
[06:48] <kitche> jvik_ just depends on preference
[06:48] <K3nto> ok sweet
[06:48] <Megaqwerty> can anyone help me with my aforementioned problem? ^^
[06:48] <hjmills> Jvik, is there any reason to get a cat instead of a dog?
[06:48] <unfo> I prefer ERC as my irc client because of its amazing word completion features.
[06:48] <bigjohntoday> I followed a detailed how-to, but it won't work for some weird reason
[06:48] <thianpa> HI, I have a Pinnacle Tv Tuner and I'm using Dapper and the tuner is found in  bttv0: detected: Pinnacle PCTV [card=39] , PCI subsystem ID is 11bd:0012 . How do i use it ? Can you please helpme out ? A link also would be helpful
[06:48] <Jvik> hjmills Yeah.   Long questions like that have a better chance in #samba or at www.ubuntuforums.org :)
[06:49] <Megaqwerty> unfo: thanks :)
[06:49] <unfo> Megaqwerty: np :)
[06:50] <bigjohntoday> unfo: oh my, i figured it out.... how stupid of me
[06:51] <zoli2k> Hi, can somebody help me with squashfs?
[06:51] <unfo> zoli2k: yes, someone can :)
[06:52] <unfo> yell0w: delete the appropriate gconf files.  I dunno which though.  Poke around in the hidden directories in your home directory.  NOTE: if you delete the wrong things that's very bad :)
[06:52] <Jvik_> Well then. We are running xchat. :) I don
[06:52] <yell0w> unfo, I know, thus my question
[06:52] <yell0w> lol
[06:52] <Jvik_> i don't regret that i changed from windows anymore
[06:52] <unfo> yell0w: better to rename the files instead of deleting them. :)  In #gnome they can tell you which files.
[06:52] <unfo> probably
[06:52] <Babubu> How do you change the duration before a monitor goes into standby manually?
[06:52] <yell0w> unfo, ok thanks
[06:53] <zoli2k> unfo: I want to build a small usb distro, but I am not sure the default edgy kernel is able to recognize the squash file including the whole / directory.
[06:53] <pillb0x> it's cool to have like ~1k people here
[06:53] <unfo> yell0w: they're text files, you may be able to figure it out yourself by looking through them.  I think they're the gconf2 desktop keys #defaults files or something.
[06:53] <pillb0x> say hi!
[06:53] <unfo> pillb0x: that would just spam the channel :)
[06:53] <pillb0x> hehe
[06:53] <CB4chile> all at once?
[06:54] <yell0w> unfo, ok
[06:54] <pillb0x> everyone who's reading this write Hi!
[06:54] <unfo> zoli2k: dunno.  You could try www.ubuntuforums.org or channel #ubuntu-devel.
[06:55] <K3nto> ok so swap=2gb, "/"=15gb "/boot"=7gb

[06:56] <bhsx> hi all, just installed ubuntu 6.10 and had the ati drivers (x300) installed per the help page, then i tried installing beryl and everything is hosed, i cant seem to get 3d accel back working and beryl just crashes... i used the automated install for 6.10 from the beryl wiki... can anyone help me out?
[06:56] <unfo> K3nto: /boot doesn't need 7gb
[06:56] <K3nto> what does it need
[06:56] <unfo> K3nto: dunno. i personally never make a separate /boot partition :)
[06:56] <bhsx> i have no idea
[06:56] <eilker> i wanna add an mp3 to my *.avi file, could someone help me pls ?
[06:57] <K3nto> so /boot and "/" can be the sam partition?!?!
[06:57] <K3nto> same
[06:57] <erUSUL> K3nto: yes
[06:57] <unfo> K3nto: just don't make a /boot partition.  Then the /boot files will end up in /.
[06:57] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! Anyone here who can either help me with configuring my wlan (for which ive built drivers from ralinktech's source) ot point me in the right direction of where to go for help?
[06:57] <bhsx> you only need / and swap... it's not like the old RH5.2 days when you needed all the different partitions :)
[06:57] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Or just tell me what USB WLAN interface is should get... :P
[06:57] <K3nto> arg somebody told me earlie everything had to be seperate
[06:57] <unfo> K3nto: they can be but it's optional.
[06:58] <kitche> K3ntoL it's just a good thing to do really but they don't have to be
[06:58] <K3nto> but things stay simpler if they're the same
[06:58] <bhsx> can anyone help me with my 3d/beryl problem?
[06:58] <K3nto> plus i save on space
[06:58] <K3nto> right?
[06:58] <unfo> K3nto: right
[06:58] <eagles0513875> k3nto any luck getting it to work
[06:59] <K3nto> yes
[06:59] <K3nto> i deleted mediadirect
[06:59] <mcphail> K3nto: if you have plenty of RAM, you don't even need a swap partition
[06:59] <K3nto> a partition
[06:59] <K3nto> i have 2gb ram
[06:59] <K3nto> but im going to use hibernation
[06:59] <mcphail> K3nto: ok
[06:59] <K3nto> and that requires swap right?
[06:59] <kitche> K3nto: yep
[06:59] <mcphail> K3nto: that sound vaguely familiar
[07:00] <mceGEEK> hi anyone using cyradm?
[07:00] <bhsx> if you have 2gb ram and want to hybernate, you'll need 2gb swap i think
[07:00] <eilker>  i click to record button and xvidcap closes itself, any idea ?
[07:00] <K3nto> yep thats what i made
[07:00] <K3nto> 2gb swap
[07:00] <unfo> K3nto: though if you want to hibernate, better to have extra swap: 0.5GB-1GB more than the amount of ram you have.
[07:00] <thianpa> ok Does Ubuntu have a builtin tv viewing program ?
[07:00] <unfo> thianpa: no. Try xawtv

[07:04] <unfo> Jvik: also check the rhythmbox volume control.  Its in the top right corner.
[07:04] <bhsx> do you have a windows partition?
[07:04] <eagles0513875> when i try to install something on my linux partition it takes extremely long to load the installer and i sometimes get get a message saying it cannot load the installer

[07:06] <bennel> well I tried that first and tried following instructions on the forums
[07:06] <bennel> but I think i messed it up
[07:06] <bennel> since now when I go to networking it comes up with crash reporting tool
[07:06] <K3nto> hey i should be ok with this: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/8071/screenshotrf7.png
[07:06] <K3nto> right?

[07:07] <Jvik> How do you set a program in autostart in linux ubuntu ?
[07:07] <docta_v> i'm using rcs to edit my named.conf but it keeps changing the owner of the file to root whenever i check it out. anyone know how to fix this? sticky bit?
[07:07] <finalbeta> Jvik: for GNOME : gnome-session-properties
[07:07] <Babubu> The general rule is 1.5x your physical memory but anything beyond 512M-1G these days seems like overkill.
[07:08] <Jvik> finalbeta,  is that a command in terminal ?
[07:08] <kitche> bhsx: don't use xgl maybe
[07:08] <ffxr> hi i have a major problem using mysql on AMD64 ubuntu.. the the server service will only start once, i have spent hours trying various configurations & even complied mysql from source.. i am considering filing a bug report , can anyone tell me this is advisable?
[07:08] <bhsx> i'm noob, do you have a link maybe?
[07:08] <finalbeta> Jvik: you can try typing it inside a text editor, but I doubt much will happen, so yes ;)
[07:08] <IcEpiCk> why does it say that i need to be using ROOT when i try to intall nvidia drivers with live cd?
[07:08] <Jvik> well. It worked. Thanks finalbeta  :)

[07:09] <finalbeta> Jvik: there might be a way to get those dialogs through the gui, but most of the time people will just give you a direct command.

[07:09] <eagles0513875> !libjack.so
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libjack - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <bennel> hey eagles, do you know how I can fix the problem that the networking thing will come up again?
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libjack.so - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <unop> IcEpiCk, because only root can do things like that
[07:09] <Jvik> doubt i remember that command tomorrow. But thanks :D Im newcomer to linux
[07:09] <jmazaredo> http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb is the source here wrong?
[07:09] <eagles0513875> im still fairly a noob myself bennel

[07:10] <eagles0513875> ok
[07:10] <unfo> clearzen: what is the problem?
[07:10] <K3nto> woot installing!!
[07:10] <IcEpiCk> unop cause it autologins? isnt it root then
[07:11] <craigbass1976> I want to be able to fire up a program from a command line when someone else is logged into the GUI.  I could do it in fedora and cent, but not in Ubuntu.  Something about exporting the display maybe?  How do I do that?
[07:11] <bhsx> should i try commenting out 'Load "glx"' in xorg.conf?
[07:11] <teckfatt> hello anyone know how to disable the gnome on startup on 6.10 desktop version, i want it startup in terminal login instead of gnome,tz
[07:11] <unop> IcEpiCk,  no, its just another normal user even then .. you still need !sudo to do anything anything you dont have permissons for
[07:11] <Zoohouse> quick question: Can I use http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ with my Kubuntu installation?
[07:11] <IcEpiCk> unop but no password needed?
[07:11] <unop> teckfatt,  disable the GDM service
[07:11] <jrib> Zoohouse: yes
[07:11] <rpc> folks what can be wrong with my vsftpd? i can do everything but uploading files, it stalls on file create and times out
[07:12] <Zoohouse> jrib: thenks
[07:12] <bhsx> brb, gonna try that
[07:12] <rpc> i can see first 512b sent only
[07:12] <teckfatt> unop: where to disable it?
[07:12] <unop> IcEpiCk,  thats right -- open up a terminal, and issue this command. sudo -s  .. you should have a root terminal then
[07:12] <jrib> teckfatt: system > administration > services
[07:12] <IcEpiCk> k
[07:13] <unop> IcEpiCk,  but did you say you were installing drivers?
[07:13] <unfo> ffxr: it's hard to tell if you should file a bug or not.  The main options are filing a bug or asking at www.ubuntuforums.org to see if the issue is really a bug or not.  Either option is really ok.
[07:13] <teckfatt> jrib: thank you
[07:15] <K3nto> okay so now onto the important things. mp3 playability in ubuntu
[07:15] <craigbass1976> K3nto, xmms

[07:15] <craigbass1976> K3nto, Not sure, but it's what works for me
[07:15] <CB4chile> xmms
[07:15] <XYTTY> hi
[07:15] <alex___> hi I wonder is xara a freesoftware ? on the xara website there is a price for it ?
[07:16] <finalbeta> K3nto: the next ubuntu version will install codecs for yo, so that's a ray of light on the end of a very long tunnel.
[07:16] <CB4chile> K3nto , try xmms for mp3s
[07:16] <finalbeta> alex___: if I'm correct there is a free version, it uses the cairo engine and not the one the company sells.
[07:17] <Peter_Lustig> hi
[07:17] <craigbass1976> hi
[07:17] <kitche> alex___: xaraxl is the open source one
[07:17] <craigbass1976> XYTTY, hi to you too.  You waiting to ask a question, or just popping in to say hi?
[07:17] <bennel> I am trying to connect to the internet with ubuntu, that I installed yesterday, then i tried following instruction on the forums and now the "Networking" tool won't come up but crash on me. I don't care if I get wired or wireless to work. can anyone help? using a dell inspiron laptop
[07:17] <K3nto> o ya, fiesta or fiesty or whatever its called is coming in april, right?
[07:18] <TheJF> Hi, I'm having problems building gtk-sharp, it crashes on pango-sharp.  Did anybody ever have a similar problem before?
[07:19] <craigbass1976> bennel, there's a text file somewhere you can edit to set up your nic.  Anyone know where that is?  I only know on RH systems.
[07:19] <Malmen> can help me please ?
[07:19] <Malmen> look here http://pastebin.ca/377371
[07:19] <clearzen> craigbass1976: /etc/network/interfaces
[07:20] <jrib> TheJF: why are you building it?  It's in the repositories
[07:20] <Malmen> i was install the NVIDEA grafic card follow that tuturial
[07:20] <Malmen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[07:20] <bennel> clearzen it says permission denied
[07:20] <TheJF> jrib: I'm using the svn one because I intend to do some development
[07:20] <clearzen> sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[07:21] <Jvik_> I know its a stupid question. But how do i set static ip address?
[07:21] <unfo> Malmen: please tell us what the problem is :)
[07:21] <Jvik_> and how do i check my own ip address ?
[07:21] <craigbass1976> bennel, so in /etc/network/interfaces, there should be a line like   auto eth0          and another like   iface eth0 inet dhcp     right after it
[07:21] <marcel__> Jvik, /sbin/ifconfig
[07:22] <Jvik_> is there any way to do this in gui ?
[07:22] <clearzen> Jvik_: you should be able to set a static ip by using admin>>networking
[07:22] <jrib> TheJF: you're probably better off asking the mailing list for gtk-sharp development, svn might not even build.  Did you try building the source you get from 'apt-get source gtk-sharp' first?
[07:22] <teeLie> After i tried adding some users with a gui for samba i now cant connect to my server with vnc, i can ping the IP but not vhost. And from the server i can ping the router, but not this IP. Can someone help? =)
[07:22] <craigbass1976> marcel__, is that going to stay put after a reboot, or do you edit the interfaces file?
[07:22] <clearzen> Jvik_: to check your own ip ifconfig will work
[07:22] <craigbass1976> I want to be able to fire up a program from a command line when someone else is logged into the GUI.  I could do it in fedora and cent, but not in Ubuntu.  Something about exporting the display maybe?  How do I do that?
[07:22] <bennel> craigbass1976 yes i see iface eth0 inet dhcp
[07:22] <marcel__> craigbass1976, what do you mean? what are you referring to?
[07:22] <K3nto> when the next ubuntu comes out, how do i update?
[07:23] <craigbass1976> marcel__, you ansered Jvik
[07:23] <dyrne> Jvik_: of cource for your outside ip.. just ask one of us :)
[07:23] <buches> Hi, I'm having a problem since my upgrade to Edgy--suspend mode doesn't work anymore.  When I close my laptop lid, or when I press the "sleep" button, it almost suspends, but not quite; it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top, and I have to force a shutdown and restart
[07:23] <TheJF> jrib: No, but I'd rather use the svn gtk-sharp, but thanks, I'll check with them, and if that doesn't work, I'll default to the repo gtk-sharp
[07:23] <marcel__> craigbass1976, on how to get your ip
[07:23] <craigbass1976> marcel__, right.  Using ifconfig, can you set an address permanently?
[07:23] <jrib> TheJF: trying to build the repo version would help you troubleshoot
[07:23] <eagles0513875> !cedaga
[07:23] <clearzen> craigbass1976: you can set it until you restart
[07:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cedaga - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:24] <eagles0513875> !cadaga
[07:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cadaga - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:24] <TheJF> jrib: How so?
[07:24] <clearzen> craigbass1976: you can do the same thing with iwconfig
[07:24] <Agrajag> eagles0513875: you mean cedega?
[07:24] <idn> hey, i was wondering if someone knows how to resize a hfs+ partition from ubuntu? I need to resize it to make more room for linux install in my macbook pro
[07:24] <eagles0513875> ya which is better cedega or wine
[07:24] <Cdeszaq> Is there any reason that installing a new harddrive would entirely distroy my ubuntu instalation?
[07:24] <marcel__> craigbass1976, no, you can see your ip address, if you want to set it you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces. or better use the gui's available
[07:24] <Agrajag> depends on if you want to pay for it, and what you want to do with it
[07:24] <jrib> TheJF: well if the repo version doesn't build for you, you know it is an issue on your end
[07:25] <craigbass1976> clearzen, right, so my initial quesiton to marcel__ was "is that going to stay put after a reboot, or do you edit the interfaces file?"  meaning the nic settings changed wth ifconfig
[07:25] <eudy> alguien puede decirme como entro al canal ubunto en espaol
[07:25] <idn> Cdeszaq: no should be fine, what are you going to use it for tho, to insall another OS or just for files?
[07:25] <Agrajag> !es
[07:25] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:25] <bennel> craigsbass1976: so I also see iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless-essid ******** and wireless-key *****
[07:25] <tute666_> eudy: ubuntu-es
[07:25] <Babubu> eagles0513875: Cedega is better compatibility-wise but is commercial and strangles kittens.
[07:25] <erUSUL> !es | eudy
[07:25] <ubotu> eudy: please see above
[07:25] <eagles0513875> damn cuz im having killer probs with wine babubu
[07:25] <TheJF> jrib: Ahh, fair enough.  Will do.
[07:25] <craigbass1976> marcel__, ahh
[07:25] <erUSUL> eudy: /join #ubuntu-es
[07:25] <eagles0513875> babubu have u used wine much
[07:26] <craigbass1976> bennel, and you can't get online at all?
[07:26] <bennel> nope
[07:26] <Babubu> eagles0513875: Yeah, a little. What are you trying to run?
[07:26] <eagles0513875> world of warcraft babubu
[07:26] <uFo-Z> why ssl is not working here. i dont understand how its possible that ssl is not worki9ng out of the box
[07:26] <Unify> I have mounted the drives. But i dont have write access to any of the harddrives
[07:26] <craigbass1976> bennel, what if you cat /etc/resolv.conf  Is there anything there?
[07:26] <marcel__> it's better to use gnome network tools, thats easier than editing some files
[07:26] <Cdeszaq> idn: I just wanted more storage space, so I installed another harddrive. But when I tried to boot the computer, it doesn't boot to ubuntu at all, just a blank black screen with a cursor that only responds to the "enter" key and nothing else
[07:26] <jrib> Unify: what filesystem?
[07:26] <Unify> ntfs
[07:26] <clearzen> so, I ran into a strange bug in gnome-panel....how would I completely remove and re-install the gnome desktop? The problem seems to be for a particular user as well, so can I delete user session information?
[07:26] <Babubu> Ah, I've actually had experience getting that running. Baby sister bought me a retail copy for Christmas. lol
[07:26] <jrib> !ntfs | Unify
[07:26] <ubotu> Unify: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:26] <jrib> Unify: read the part about permissions
[07:26] <K3nto> ok im restarting my pc and am going to head into ubuntu
[07:26] <Agrajag> eagles0513875: that works perfectly well in wine, if you set it to use opengl.
[07:27] <Dr_willis> clearzen,  each user has their own .gnome* dirs and settings.. so yes - you coudl remove that users gnome settings
[07:27] <idn> cdeszaq: at what point do you see the cursor, when you boot into linux or right when you boot during the bios?
[07:27] <craigbass1976> I want to be able to fire up a program from a command line when someone else is logged into the GUI.  I could do it in fedora and cent, but not in Ubuntu.  Something about exporting the display maybe?  How do I do that?  I echo $DISPLAY and nothing shows up.
[07:27] <Babubu> That and you'll need to manually download the latest patch and apply it. Afterwards the auto-update feature should work on its own.
[07:27] <Cdeszaq> idn: When I boot to a live CD, none of the drives on the computer get mounted, even though they are recognized in the bios
[07:27] <eagles0513875> ok thing is i installed the binary driver from ati agrajag and for soem reason when i go into ati control pannel it says mesa gl is indirect how do i change that
[07:27] <Cdeszaq> idn: Right after post
[07:27] <jrib> craigbass1976: export DISPLAY=FOOBAR
[07:27] <DemisM> how can I get rid of the ubuntu loading screen so that I may see my modules and what not loading?
[07:27] <eagles0513875> how do i change the mesagl from indirect to direct
[07:27] <clearzen> Dr_willis: Will it auto generate new information when I log back into gnome If I delete those folders?
[07:28] <Agrajag> eagles0513875: I don't know, I use nvidia because their drivers are better in my opinion/
[07:28] <idn> cdeszaq: you probably have to mount them manually, is it a sata or ata  drive?
[07:28] <mcphail> Cdeszaq: tell your BIOS to boot from the correct drive
[07:28] <Dr_willis> clearzen,  yes it should
[07:28] <Cdeszaq> sata
[07:28] <Babubu> Likewise, never messed with ATi.
[07:28] <clearzen> Dr_willis: thanks
[07:28] <Scanztz> i need help. I installed EasyUbuntu and it cant install the pakages coz there is an error on my system

[07:37] <Dr_willis> Scanztz,  that way you learn stuff.
[07:37] <Dr_willis> bbl
[07:37] <idn> cdeszaq: got that thee wrong way round sorry, should be "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk1"
[07:37] <Cdeszaq> ok
[07:38] <jmazaredo> how do u stop istanbul?
[07:38] <idn> cdeszaq: if you then browse to /mnt/disk1 you should be able ot look at the files on the disk
[07:39] <idn> cdeszaq: you can repeat that process for the other partitions "mkdir /mnt/disk2" then "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk2" etc
[07:39] <Cdeszaq> idn: Ok, so once they are mounted, how can I access my network so that I can copy off the needed files? (I want to do a fresh install anyways)
[07:39] <idn> cdeszaq: wireless or wired conection?
[07:39] <Cdeszaq> idn: wired
[07:40] <linxeh> is there a subversion 1.4 package for Ubuntu ?
[07:40] <idn> cdeszaq: you might want to install ubuntu first, then once you boot into it copy the files over then
[07:40] <jrib> linxeh: in feisty
[07:40] <majkball> I am trying to install Ubuntu... but when I get to the partitioning my harddrive partittions are all locked, and i cannot delete modify or do anything with them... what should I do?
[07:40] <linxeh> jrib: but no backports etc for edgy ?
[07:41] <idn> cdeszaq" might be quicker then doing on it the live CD. With regards to ubuntu not booting, are you sure everything is set ok in the BIOS with regards to boot order etc?
[07:41] <JuJuBee> Hello.
[07:41] <jrib> linxeh: not that I see
[07:41] <a5benwillis> How can I search for a file inall subdirectories?
[07:41] <jrib> !backports | linxeh
[07:41] <ubotu> linxeh: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[07:41] <linxeh> damn :(
[07:41] <Cdeszaq> idn: Ok, thanks
[07:41] <JuJuBee> Is there a way to lock the desktop backround image for all login accounts?
[07:41] <jrib> a5benwillis: find
[07:41] <Cdeszaq> idn: yes, the bios is all ok
[07:42] <jrib> JuJuBee: that's a gconf setting right?
[07:42] <JuJuBee> I think, but not sure.
[07:42] <Cdeszaq> Ok, thanks for the help!
[07:42] <idn> cdeszaq: hmmmm, you might want to do a fresh install, either something might have gone wrong with grub (not being able to find the boot partition) or with your fstab file in your install not being able to find a mount point becuse you have moved stuff around
[07:43] <jrib> JuJuBee: well I think it is too... set a mandatory value in gconf: http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.14/gconf-24.html
[07:43] <Cdeszaq> idn: Yeah, I am going to just reinstall....I had everything well partitioned, so my data will all still be ok
[07:43] <majkball> How do I unlock my partittions? They are now locked and I cannot modify them to install ubuntu on them...
[07:43] <jrib> JuJuBee: maybe you can use sabayon too... check it out
[07:43] <idn> cdeszaq: yeah always good to keep data and OS seperate :)
[07:43] <JuJuBee> Thanks for the link.  I'll check it out.
[07:44] <poningru> majkball: what do you mean locked?

[07:53] <qatsi> poningru: hdc is slowing my ubuntu boot up, so i think ill just remove the hard drive
[07:53] <clearze1> qatsi: Maybe it isn't liking something about vista's format. In any case that is where the problem is occuring
[07:53] <poningru> ah cool
[07:53] <qatsi> clearze1: is there a way for not auto mounting it ?

When I close my laptop lid, or when I press the "sleep" button, it almost suspends, but not quite; it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top, and I have to force a shutdown and restart
[07:58] <shwag> is upstart the default in edgy ? or is the old init still installed ?
[07:59] <jrib> shwag: upstart is default, but it just calls the old sysv init scripts

[08:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fglx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:00] <eagles0513875> i have it installed right now but the mesa glx says that its indirect
[08:01] <jrib> shwag: eventually I assume all the scripts will be transferred over.  I don't know the official plan but I remember hearing it was supposed to be for edgy+1 back when edgy was in development

[08:03] <cyber_> the pcmcia driver will crash the ubuntu installation at the point, where it issues "cs: IO port probe 0x100-0x3af:"
[08:03] <cyber_> is there a way to get around this?
[08:03] <eagles0513875> im out of ideas on this what can i do guys
[08:03] <clearze1> cyber_: What kind of driver is it?
[08:04] <scheuri> poningru: do those work in KDE as well by chance?
[08:04] <jim88> hi all ... I need help with the kaffeine player ... I am getting an echoing ... is there a setting that the help pages are not tell me about?

[08:05] <Kuba> hey does anybody know a good link to proxy servers?
[08:05] <davidbr> How do you set up quotas ?  /etc/password ?
[08:05] <Agrajag> once it's rm'ed, you're SOL unless you want to immeditely disconnect the drive and start combing through the raw disk for the file
[08:05] <clearze1> cyber_: The system won't boot at all? How long have you had this problem?

[08:07] <davidbr> This is brainbench basic linux exam if anybody is intrested.
[08:07] <K3nto> or should i change some video settings

[08:07] <clearze1> hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false boot
[08:08] <clearze1> that should allow it to boot
[08:08] <jim88> hi all ... I need help with the kaffeine player ... I am getting an echoing ... is there a setting that the help pages are not tell me about?
[08:08] <clearze1> do that before it starts to load
[08:08] <cyber_> clearzel: Just so I am clear about this - It should say "hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false boot" without anything else?
[08:08] <sacater> if anyone here is willing to BETA test my tea package please join #sacater, i changed it as part as my MOTU mentoration, the changes are that it is the latest latest latest version, and now comes with a .desktop file (menu entry) :P

[08:09] <clearze1> cyber_: it will turn off pcmcia support though
[08:09] <cyber_> clearzel: that gives me "Could not find kernel image: hw-detect..."

[08:28] <Jampiter> Hello?
[08:28] <Jampiter> I'm new
[08:28] <tchize> eagles051375: well nvidia prop driver are working pretty well :p
[08:28] <eagles0513875> my laptop has ati though
[08:29] <K3nto> as am i
[08:29] <K3nto> jamp are you looking at installing ubuntu
[08:29] <Jampiter> Maybe when I reformat my laptop
[08:29] <jussi01> eagles0513875, is it not just under fglrx in synaptic?
[08:29] <sha0lin> and i put the firmware in, reconnected the stick, and nothing....
[08:29] <eagles0513875> ya but i also downloaded a script from ati webpg and ran the script
[08:30] <jussi01> but synaptic should still uninstall it...
[08:30] <sha0lin> kaffeine said it could find no dvb device so would hide the dvb options
[08:30] <eagles0513875> ok ill try
[08:30] <Jampiter> You know the logos (http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy?highlight=%28Logo%29), It says email them if not using them for fair use, do you think i'll have to email them if I put them on a CD label and box for my burnt ubuntu ISO?
[08:30] <jussi01> Jampiter, you should be fine with that
[08:31] <eagles0513875> jussie should i leave the restricted modules
[08:31] <sha0lin> i doubt it Jampiter they sent me a bunch of stickers with the cds
[08:31] <jussi01> eagles0513875, hmmm...I think so
[08:31] <eagles0513875> ok
[08:31] <Jampiter> Ah ok thanks jussi01, sha0lin
[08:32] <eagles0513875> i hope this works
[08:32] <tchize> sha0lin: sorry, i don't see  dvb-usb-dib0700.ko in list of ubuntu provided modules
[08:32] <jussi01> so do i...
[08:32] <yaman> hello i used this page to make my wireless card work on my ubuntu and it didn't work http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177  the network manager doesn't detect my wireless card any more what should i do
[08:32] <tabman> I need to update to latest firefox, I have dapper
[08:32] <sha0lin> me either but its on that site... so how would i get those modules?
[08:32] <eagles0513875> and i also hope removing these drivers fixes my wine problems too
[08:32] <Jampiter> Will a Belkin USB adapter work with ubuntu? What drivers will I need?
[08:33] <Jampiter> (And will it work in LiveCD mode?)
[08:33] <quiet> you'll need ndiswrapper
[08:33] <quiet> i believe
[08:34] <quiet> depends on the chipset... but i'm pretty sure none of the usb ones are natively supported
[08:34] <jussi01> eagles0513875, out of curiosity, maybe you have the script fglrx-uninstall.sh ?
[08:34] <tchize> sha0lin: maybe it was renamed?
[08:34] <Jampiter> Ralink RT2500 chips
[08:34] <Jampiter> I've heard of ndiswrapper for SLAX.. what is it?
[08:34] <tchize> Jampiter: Ho, you too have an Ralinnk problem? :D
[08:34] <quiet> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/RalinkRT2500?action=show&redirect=Rt2500WirelessCardsHowTo
[08:34] <kski> i'm using rt2500 and it's not working for me
[08:35] <tchize> kski: me too can't get rt2500 to work
[08:35] <kski> works for kismet and aircrack but won't connect to anything
[08:35] <quiet> or rather...  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT2500
[08:35] <sha0lin> tchize, how do you mean?
[08:35] <Jampiter> Hey thanks quiet :D
[08:36] <dyrne> kski: works in promisc mode but not normal?
[08:36] <kski> yes
[08:36] <tchize> sha0lin: dunno, either it's not compiled anymore by ubuntu team, either it has now a different name, either it's not in the base kernel and need you to download it somewher and compile it
[08:36] <kski> i changed my mode back to managed, still nothing
[08:36] <tchize> quiet: when those docs you point out don't work, do you have any other suggestion to make RaLink 2500 working ?
[08:37] <sha0lin> beh, compile it... that was why i stopped using redhat 4, compiling used to mess up stuff. is there an easier way to get round this
[08:37] <quiet> tchize, never used the rt2500 so no... I just know how to google...
[08:37] <Softly8> hi
[08:37] <eagles0513875> it seems to be working fine let me restart the xserver

[08:38] <chx> is there a list of Canonical certified hardware? Yes I googled, searched forums and can't find this list :(
[08:38] <quiet> rt8180 and bcm4318 both using ndiswrapper...  the bcm43xx dirver is garbage on the 4318 chipset
[08:39] <clearze1> tchize: The only way I've ever got the rt2500 chipset working properly was with NDISwrapper. using the driver for windows 2000
[08:40] <tchize> clearze1: ndiswrapper worked with wpa?

[08:58] <asvilar> yo tengo 14 te e mentido
[08:58] <Torrey> Is Herd5 coming out today?
[08:58] <marx2k> unify: mount, umount
[08:58] <posingaspopular> Torrey: yes
[08:58] <kbrosnan> !help | JohnKP
[08:58] <ubotu> JohnKP: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:59] <JPMaximilian> JohnKP: yeah I'm not sure, i looked through the forums and didn't see anyting of a similar nature
[08:59] <marx2k> !herd
[08:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about herd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:59] <K3nto> that didnt help
[08:59] <Unify> marx2k, yeah. But i dont remember where he stored the stuff
[08:59] <JohnKP> it's USB
[08:59] <marx2k> Unify, check fstab
[08:59] <JohnKP> i can get it to recognize it, but the USB light doesn't come on on the modem
[08:59] <AmaroK_> Anyone knows how to use Amarok with ftp stored music files?
[08:59] <tchize> K3nto :)
[08:59] <JohnKP> it shows up in Device Manager
[08:59] <merc> fegaru: looks like your router doesnt have the dhcp server enabled.
[08:59] <JohnKP> and in lsusb as "westell"
[09:00] <jussi01> !fstab
[09:00] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[09:00] <JohnKP> but it doesn't work
[09:00] <jvik> good idea marx2k
[09:00] <tchize> Anyway, could it be what you try to achieve is change the way your 'disks' are shown in some visual tool?
[09:00] <fegaru> merc, but the others 2 machines got inet
[09:00] <crdlb> JohnKP, isn't it ethernet too?
[09:00] <merc> fegaru: they might have just kept their old ips, and had luck
[09:00] <fegaru> How could the router not work for only one machine?
[09:00] <JohnKP> crdlb: yes, but i don't have an ethernet card for that computer, nor can i get one atm
[09:00] <AmaroK_> Anyone knows how to use Amarok with ftp stored music files?
[09:00] <harveyd> another small thing, can i make the window items on the taskbar be a fixed size?
[09:00] <merc> your computer is looking for an ip, and nothing is giving it one, you could try to set it up static, but, dhcp would be more efficient.
[09:00] <fegaru> merc, I reboot the router some times, and the pcs too.... luck isnt a good answer
[09:00] <crdlb> harveyd, you can't; I bothers me too
[09:01] <marx2k> how can I find out whats update in Herd5?
[09:01] <crdlb> harveyd, it makes no sense the way it acts
[09:01] <marx2k> updated
[09:01] <merc> fegaru: can you at least log into your routers configuration, and enable dhcp?
[09:01] <apokryphos> !feisty | marx2k
[09:01] <ubotu> marx2k: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha. Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help in #ubuntu+1
[09:01] <jvik> Marx2k; what is the full command if this "/dev/sda5 /media/sda5" is what it says in the fstab ?
[09:01] <K3nto> ya 1sec
[09:01] <harveyd> yeh, its bit wierd that it acts differently than pretty much any windows manager
[09:01] <JohnKP> any ideas?
[09:01] <fegaru> merc... since another pc yep
[09:01] <K3nto> i made a drawing
[09:01] <fegaru> merc, is enable
[09:02] <marx2k> jvik: try 'sudo mount -a'
[09:02] <crdlb> JohnKP, I are usb dsl modems even supported by linux?
[09:02] <AmaroK_> Need help with AmaroK, it doesnt play music stored on ftp servers
[09:02] <Hotkey> Help for newb pls - trying to run 6.10 from CD and get an error message cannot load XServer - fix and restart GDM - but I have no idea what to do!?
[09:02] <merc> hrm..
[09:02] <jussi01> crdlb, some are
[09:03] <jvik> marx2k,  sudo unmount /media/sda5 -> sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda5
[09:03] <jvik> ?
[09:03] <merc> fegaru: you're sure everything is plugged in the proper ports etc?
[09:03] <marx2k> just try sudo mount -a
[09:03] <marx2k> it mounts everything in fstab
[09:03] <jim88> hi all ... I need help with the kaffeine player ... I am getting an echoing ... is there a setting that the help pages are not tell me about?
[09:03] <fegaru> merc... yes, I'm sure
[09:04] <crdlb> JohnKP, I set up a similar modem for a relative with dapper but I didn't even bother trying the USB
[09:04] <marx2k> I think its time for me to downgrade to edgy
[09:04] <marx2k> feisty is a bit... eh...
[09:04] <jvik> marx2k, nothing happend.
[09:05] <marx2k> jvik, see if its mounter where its supposed to be now
[09:05] <apokryphos> marx2k: support in #ubuntu+1
[09:05] <marx2k> err mounted
[09:05] <JohnKP> so is there anything i can possibly do, or is it hopeless?
[09:05] <jvik> it was mounted already, but i had to unmount and mount it to get the change to work
[09:05] <jvik> and i still dont have write permission
[09:05] <merc> fegaru: this isn't making any sense, if eth0 can see your router at all, it should be getting an ip address assigned from the dhcp server.
[09:05] <merc> fegaru: you have more than one ethernet card?
[09:06] <marx2k> jvik: chown the directory in media
[09:06] <dude__> hello all does any one know the adress for the debian repository?
[09:06] <fegaru> merc, no
[09:06] <K3nto> http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/4673/screenshotsg4.png   thats what i want plain and simple :P
[09:06] <fegaru> merc, its soo rare... exist some way to reconfigure completally the eth0??
[09:06] <jvik> marx2k, sorry. I am very new to linux. Chown is what ?
[09:07] <marx2k> What is a good partitioning scheme if you want to work with multiple distros
[09:07] <psusi> jvik: are you mounting a windows partition?  did you set uid=yourname on the fstab line?
[09:07] <marx2k> !chown
[09:07] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:07] <marx2k> grr
[09:07] <jvik> im mounting ntfs psusi
[09:07] <merc> fegaru: dhcp pretty much does that...
[09:07] <marx2k> !ntfs
[09:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:07] <tchize> k3nto: you probably need to switch to admin mode before renaming it :)
[09:08] <merc> fegaru: are your other pcs linux? or can you try and make them get a response from dhcp anyway?
[09:08] <K3nto> you mean im not in admin mode?
[09:08] <Slart> marx2k: I would guess.. put everything you want to reuse on one partition.. I guess what would be only /home.. the rest on another
[09:08] <mindstate> windows drives should be mounted automatically
[09:08] <psusi> jvik: then you need to add the uid=myname to the fstab line so the file son it are owned by you
[09:08] <khoa> hmm changing over to a static IP makes this computer stop responding to internet requests
[09:08] <K3nto> !admin
[09:08] <Slart> marx2k: if you're just going to try different distros out
[09:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about admin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:08] <khoa> i dunno how else I can force this desktop to always use the same IP then ><
[09:08] <mindstate> khoa, then use dynamic
[09:08] <K3nto> !adminmode
[09:08] <fegaru> merc, I'm now in the other pc with linux
[09:08] <yubi> hola
[09:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about adminmode - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:08] <tchize> K3nto: unless you explicitly used to switch to admin mode, you are just a user that has the priviliedge to be able to switch to admin mode (aka root)
[09:08] <merc> fegaru: try the dhclient on that pc, see what happens..
[09:08] <tchize> !root
[09:08] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:09] <jvik> psusi; uid=myname myname = replaced with user name or what ?
[09:09] <tchize> !gksu
[09:09] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>
[09:09] <khoa> mindstate: this is the thing though, im behind a router, and everytime i reset this computer it gives it the next available local IP
[09:09] <jussi01> !es | yupi
[09:09] <ubotu> yupi: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[09:09] <psusi> jvik: yes
[09:09] <yubi> necesito una persona que escriba espanol
[09:09] <jussi01> !es | yubi
[09:09] <ubotu> yubi: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[09:09] <khoa> i would this desktop to always use the same local IP
[09:09] <marx2k> Slart: but how do the distros keep their directories seperate? (as in, how would they differentiate between /etc, /var, etc?)
[09:09] <khoa> ie. <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:09] <K3nto> so how do i switch
[09:09] <crdlb> JohnKP, I can't find anyone on the google who's had success
[09:09] <khoa> is that possible even?
[09:09] <mindstate> khoa, use dynamicdns
[09:09] <merc> khoa: there might be a setting on your router, to assign a specific IP based on MAC address.
[09:09] <psusi> jvik: add that to the comma seperated options list
[09:09] <tchize> K3nto: you run your filebrowser using gksu
[09:09] <marx2k> khoa: set it as a static IP
[09:09] <kski> how do i change wifi-radar to use ra0 instead of eth1?
[09:09] <mindstate> khoa, when i change my router to static ip it works fine
[09:10] <K3nto> !gksu
[09:10] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>
[09:10] <khoa> ok, i mean its a standard linksys router, running newer firmware
[09:10] <tchize> i think this is evolution, so typing gksu evolution in a console will run file borwser in super user mode
[09:10] <yubi> hello you only writen english
[09:10] <Slart> marx2k: you set that up in each distroes fstab file.. there you mount, for example, /dev/hda as /home and /dev/hdb as / (root).. you set that differently for each distro.. so distro 2 would use /dev/hda for /home and /dev/hdc for /
[09:10] <marx2k> khoa" you will have a setting in your router to assign a static IP to a MAC address for your computer
[09:10] <_Scott__> !es | yubi
[09:10] <ubotu> yubi: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[09:10] <jussi01> yubi, whats your question?
[09:10] <khoa> marx2k: ok i'm looking for it now
[09:10] <jvik> psusi: well, now. How do get the changes to affect ?
[09:10] <jvik> mount and unmount
[09:10] <jvik> ?
[09:11] <marx2k> Slart: is that auto-done by each distro or do I have to set it manually?
[09:11] <jussi01> !en > yubi
[09:11] <mindstate> why are al these spanish people in here
[09:11] <crdlb> khoa, It may be called static DHCP
[09:11] <marx2k> khoa: look for network translation section or something along those lines
[09:11] <JohnKP> crdlb: hmmmm
[09:11] <marx2k> or what crdlb said
[09:11] <psusi> jvik: other way around
[09:11] <NDN> good evening, may i ask you, what does ubuntu-6.10-alternate-amd64.iso stand for and what's the difference between alternate and desktop?
[09:11] <jussi01> jvik, sudo mount -a
[09:11] <Slart> marx2k: I think you can set it at install time.. depending on the distro
[09:11] <khoa> ok, thank you =D
[09:11] <marx2k> Slart: Oh, I was hoping it'd be auto :D
[09:11] <yubi> hello jussi01 tu escribes espanol
[09:11] <K3nto> so how do i go int gksu
[09:11] <mindstate> yall need to goto the es channel with that
[09:12] <Slart> marx2k: it might be automatic for some distros.. you'll have to try it out.. count on doing a lot of reinstalling if you're going to play around with this =)
[09:12] <jussi01> yubi, no, I dont speak spanish
[09:12] <marx2k> hey Slart, you seem to be somewhat knowledgeable on the subject... besides /home, what partitions do you make and how much space do you give each?
[09:12] <jussi01> !es > yubi
[09:12] <marx2k> like I wuold give a 2 gig swap, 200M /boot, 1G /tmp...
[09:12] <jvik> psusi can i just paste the fstab file in pastebin and you can take a look at it ?
[09:12] <marx2k> 2G /, and then the rest to /home
[09:12] <marx2k> (120G drive)
[09:12] <khoa> ah doesn't look like linksys supports this, gonna have to use an open-firware
[09:12] <mindstate> marx2k, put more in /
[09:12] <marx2k> do you think that sounds reasonable
[09:12] <tchize> K3nto: go in a terminal (should be somewhere in your applications) and ther type gksu evolution
[09:13] <yubi> hello felipe tu escribes espanol
[09:13] <marx2k> khoa: Id be very surprised if linksys didnt support it
[09:13] <moonlite1> nick moonlite
[09:13] <mindstate> marx2k, i would put at least 10 in there with a 120 gig drive
[09:13] <marx2k> 10G for /?
[09:13] <psusi> jvik: sure, or you can just paste that one line here
[09:13] <jussi01> marx2k, i agree with mindstate
[09:13] <jussi01> marx2k, sounds bout right
[09:13] <marx2k> ok, but the other stuff you guys would leave as-is, right? (as per my specs that I mentioned?)
[09:13] <mindstate> marx2k, 2 gigs is way too small for a /
[09:13] <jvik> psusi, http://hashbin.com/2bb.html
[09:13] <Slart> marx2k: depends very much on what your installation should do.. I'd recommend you put everything in one partition to start with.. install everything and after that you can move the different dirs to other partitions... do a google search on partition hints.. there's lots of info out there
[09:13] <khoa> marx2k: this is from a forum post in the linksys forums, YOu're correct. The stock Linksys firmware does not support "static DHCP", "reserved DHCP", "reserved leases", "Pre-assigned DHCP", or whatever it's called this week.
[09:13] <tchize> K3nto: arglll sorry, it's not evolution, it's nautilus :s
[09:14] <tchize> evolution is mail program :s
[09:14] <LiENUS> wheres /etc/ld.so.conf in ubuntu?
[09:14] <crdlb> khoa, you could simply assign a static IP
[09:14] <K3nto> gksu nautilus
[09:14] <marx2k> khoa: interesting... if youre adventurous, google DD-WRT for 3rd party linksys firmware
[09:14] <psusi> jvik: looks good
[09:14] <tchize> yes
[09:14] <jrib> LiENUS: at /etc/ld.so.conf of course
[09:14] <khoa> yeah, thats what i'm looking at now
[09:14] <Slart> marx2k: asking strangers how to partition is like asking what kind of car you should buy.. it depends on what you'll do with it =)
[09:14] <crdlb> khoa, as in configure the computer to connect at <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:14] <LiENUS> Jrib i dont have a /etc/ld.so.conf
[09:14] <jvik> well, psusi.. i still dont have write permission after sudo mount -a
[09:14] <LiENUS> only a /etc/ld.so.cache
[09:14] <marx2k> khoa: I should warn you, DD-WRT bricked my router after 2 months of use :D
[09:15] <jrib> LiENUS: have you installed build-essential?
[09:15] <LiENUS> jrib,  its a server
[09:15] <marx2k> Slart: just a typical laptop install... nothing intensive or server-like
[09:15] <khoa> crdlb: i tried forcing this computer to do that, but when i do, i can connect to the router, but no internet pages will load
[09:15] <jrib> LiENUS: ok?
[09:15] <Scanztz> hi guys. im about to install VMware but i have no clue which 1. VMware Server for Linux, VMware Server Windows client package, or VMware Server Linux client package
[09:15] <khoa> marx2k: ahh, were u forcing it to run faster or anything?
[09:15] <LiENUS> so no
[09:15] <crdlb> khoa, It worked on a linksys wifi-b router I set up
[09:15] <marx2k> Scanztz, Ive had the best of luck with VMWare Server
[09:15] <crdlb> w/ ubuntu
[09:15] <jrib> LiENUS: what I am getting at is, ld isn't installed by default
[09:15] <fegaru> merc.. see this paste
[09:15] <fegaru> merc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8117/
[09:15] <Slart> marx2k: then I'd use one partition for /home and one partition for everything else.. that way you can reinstall without loosing your documents and such
[09:15] <fegaru> merc?
[09:15] <Lukee> Hey, I have a silly issue with installing Ubuntu in that installation hangs at the step 3/6 and won't go on any further - can anyone help me?
[09:15] <khoa> crdlb: do i have to change anything in the router settings?
[09:16] <merc> checking it.
[09:16] <marx2k> khoa: Not really... I was upping the transmit power for wireless though from 24mW to 89
[09:16] <psusi> jvik: of course not... it's ntfs... write is not supported
[09:16] <fegaru> merc?? are you there?
[09:16] <merc> fegaru: yes yes
[09:16] <khoa> marx2k: ah maybe that did it in heh
[09:16] <marx2k> Slart: Ok... and I also want to make a /boot partition as well, for safety
[09:16] <marx2k> khoa: possibly...
[09:16] <crdlb> khoa, I don't think so, but make sure the IP you assign to it is outside the DHCP range
[09:16] <K3nto> ok im in the root file browser
[09:16] <jvik> psusi, is it impossible to have write access with ntfs in linux ? DAMN
[09:16] <merc> fegaru: that leads me to believe that you have some cord plugged in somewhere wrong for the other pc..if the pc you just showed me can get a dhcp request..
[09:16] <khoa> ah..., the one i assigned was inside the DHCP range
[09:16] <jim88> hi all ... I need help with the kaffeine player ... I am getting an echoing ... is there a setting that the help pages are not tell me about?
[09:16] <crdlb> khoa, such as <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:17] <khoa> ok trying that now
[09:17] <Cdeszaq> Could someone help me activate my network card when booted into Ubuntu from a Live CD?
[09:17] <jhornick> jvik: im not sure which way they went, but ntfs write support might be enabled by default in feisty
[09:17] <psusi> !ntfs | jvik
[09:17] <ubotu> jvik: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:17] <fegaru> merc, sorry I dont understand
[09:17] <crdlb> Cdeszaq, wireless or wired?
[09:17] <Scanztz> marx2k: Im getting server, but which 1 -http://register.vmware.com/content/download.html
[09:17] <merc> fegaru: are all these computers on the same router?
[09:17] <Slart> marx2k: yes.. that might be wise.. you have to balance ease of setup/maintining vs security/stability
[09:17] <fegaru> merc, you say is a fisical problem?
[09:17] <Cdeszaq> crdlb: wired
[09:17] <psusi> !ntfs-3g | jvik
[09:17] <ubotu> jvik: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[09:17] <fegaru> merc yes
[09:17] <jvik> chill
[09:17] <Cdeszaq> crdlb: PCI card
[09:17] <merc> fegaru: yeah, i think it is a physical problem.
[09:17] <crdlb> Cdeszaq, open a terminal and run lspci, then pastebin the output
[09:17] <heavensrevenge> hello
[09:18] <merc> fegaru: either you have some cat5 cable plugged into some funky port on the router, or maybe you grabbed a crossover cable on accident or something?
[09:18] <heavensrevenge> is it ok to update in a rolling way herd to herd??
[09:18] <jvik> well then. Lets try it out
[09:18] <heavensrevenge> without too much risk?
[09:18] <Slart> marx2k: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/
[09:18] <fegaru> not...
[09:18] <heavensrevenge> since im tired of windoze and im ready to convert, lol
[09:18] <fegaru> its the same cable we used always
[09:18] <crdlb> heavensrevenge, It's always risky to upgrade to the alpha version
[09:18] <Lukee> Can anyone help me with my installation issue? (installation hangs at the step 3/6 and won't go on any further) pls? :)
[09:19] <fegaru> merc, I think I going to probe with a live cd
[09:19] <crdlb> Lukee, what is step 3?
[09:19] <Cdeszaq> crdlb: pastebin is impossible...no internet connection...I am on a different pc right now
[09:19] <K3nto> tchize: now what
[09:19] <heavensrevenge> any is it amazingly risky to keep dist-upgrading?
[09:19] <eck> heavensrevenge: i'm using it right now, and it's still pretty buggy
[09:19] <merc> fegaru: good idea! if it doesnt work with a live cd, then it has to be physical :)
[09:19] <crdlb> Cdeszaq, lol sorry
[09:19] <heavensrevenge> from herd to her
[09:19] <Cdeszaq> crdlb: But there is an ethernet device detected...realtek
[09:19] <fegaru> merc, to be sure the cable is fine
[09:19] <eck> i dist-upgraded two weeks ago or so, but in the past i've done it and broken things
[09:19] <crdlb> Cdeszaq, realtek should be supported
[09:19] <fegaru> merc... ok cya later
[09:19] <khoa> crdlb: nope, again didn't work
[09:20] <merc> fegaru: good luck

[09:20] <Scanztz> hey, can any1 ever tell me which install file i must download for VMware server??? http://register.vmware.com/content/download.html
[09:20] <fegaru> merc, thanks
[09:20] <khoa> crdlb: IRC just started lagging out, no web pages would load
[09:20] <merc> fegaru: no problem.
[09:20] <heavensrevenge> broken programs galore, from uninstalling a damn spyware removal tool
[09:20] <khoa> not sure if maybe have to restart the router after i do that maybe?
[09:20] <K3nto> need help switching to admin mode so i can tell ubuntu whos boss
[09:20] <jhornick> scant:  http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.2-39867.tar.gz
[09:21] <heavensrevenge> i dont need wireless and im not using a laptop
[09:21] <ljlolel> okay, question about this borked apt-situation .... I am trying to uninstall two programs (firestarter and hplip)... but I can't because " subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2" and now I can't do *anything* with apt!
[09:21] <Cdeszaq> crdlb: I know, but it doesn't work
[09:21] <heloo> is ubuntu considiered a debian?
[09:21] <Slart> K3nto: admin mode? sudo su doesn't do it for you?
[09:21] <heavensrevenge> ubuntu is a child of debian
[09:21] <merc> heloo: yep
[09:21] <ljlolel> heloo, ubuntu is based on debian
[09:21] <K3nto> sudo su?
[09:21] <crdlb> khoa, I have ssh access to the computer I set up like you did, hopely the linksys setup works with links
[09:21] <ljlolel> sudo -s
[09:21] <K3nto> !sudo su
[09:21] <Slart> K3nto: you know about sudo?
[09:21] <ljlolel> i believe is the prefered way
[09:21] <ubotu> sudo: Provide limited super user privileges to specific users. In component main, is important. Version 1.6.8p12-4ubuntu5 (edgy), package size 161 kB, installed size 396 kB
[09:21] <K3nto> nope
[09:21] <ljlolel> sudo -s will log commands
[09:21] <eck> heavensrevenge: i thinks its contingent on the apt repositories being in a sort of stable state when you dist-upgrade, that is probably the case because they just went into feature freeze
[09:21] <crdlb> khoa, as in I'll check
[09:21] <Lukee> Can anyone pls help me with my installation issue? (installation hangs at the step 3/6 and won't go on any further)
