[09:27] <SlimeyPete> micro0: you can do a lot in the GUI too but yes, you will need to use the command-line from time to time. It gets a lot easier with practice.
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> micro0: no its not all commands, you just have to do a lot of admin work to get it initially set up, but command line is hugely powerful
[09:27] <keijihayashi> ok
[09:27] <vietnamese> Ubuntu 8.10 is newest version
[09:27] <aftertaf> ross`:  cool :)
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> micro0: you can tab complete names in irc too
[09:27] <micro0> this  whole ubuntu thing seems impossible to use
[09:27] <Marquis-Boy> atertaf: nope, just one. and then a <IP_ADDRESS> for the local network name
[09:27] <vietnamese> choose desktop if you dont mind about server
[09:27] <bonhoffer> anyone familiar with gnome -- how can i find the executable behind an admin app -- like system --> preferences --> power management
[09:28] <bonhoffer> is there a list online somewhere
[09:28] <aftertaf> bonhoffer: is there a menu edit function in gnome?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> micro0: its just different to what you have used
[09:28] <aftertaf> youll find it there
[09:28] <Marquis-Boy> micro0 - it really isn't/ once you get it sorted you don;t need to do much command line stuff at all.
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> micro0: dont be afraid of what is different
[09:28] <bingungaja> unop: as i said before, firstly i used change my username (sudo usermode -l admin hendri), then my password (sudo usermod passwd admin), then  sudo usermod -md /path/to/new/home <username> .... and here i am, can't login
[09:28] <aftertaf> Marquis-Boy: on 2 separate lines?
[09:28] <bonhoffer> aftertaf, poking around . . .
[09:28] <adam7> bonhoffer: right click on the system/places/apps menu and hit edit menus
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> micro0: i bet if you did a clean install of xp, half your hardware wouldnt work
[09:28] <aftertaf> but cmooand line is where the real power is.
[09:29] <aftertaf> command line.
[09:29] <adam7> ActionParsnip: when I install XP I get 600x800, no sound, network. I'm lucky the keyboard works :/
[09:29] <demilord_78> aftertaf <system> preferences > main menu
[09:29] <aftertaf> adam7 :)
[09:29] <unop> bingungaja, what is  sudo usermod passwd admin ?  did you mean  sudo passwd admin  ?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> adam7: exactly
[09:29] <Marquis-Boy> Adam7 - I LOLed
[09:29] <adam7> Ubuntu is so nice like that
[09:29] <adam7> everything works perfectly
[09:29] <linduxed> adam7: i found a solution i think (its the exact same problem) but i dont understand quite how and what i should dd: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/55019
[09:29] <cakey_> i lold
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> micro0: if you run the command i told you, you can install video drivers, if you have an nvidia its a snap
[09:30] <gordonjcp> right, last time
[09:30] <aftertaf> micro0: command line is that 'scary' functionality missing from all m$ products.
[09:30] <Madsy> The current build of zsnes in the main repo is broken. So I compiled zsnes myself and installed it as a package. How can I make Synaptic ignore the current package in the repository? Synaptic finds my package and nags me about updating to the current version.
[09:30] <woozzy> hi all
[09:30] <adam7> Linuturk: ah, that makes sense
[09:30] <gordonjcp> does anybody have any advice on getting an HP F4272 printer/scanner working in Gutsy?  Anyone at all?
[09:30] <bingungaja> unop: yes, sorry
[09:30] <adam7> Linuturk: sorry, wrong person
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> adam7: all my hardware is on the HCL as works out of the box (even my wifi)
[09:30] <fuhbah> hello, I got 2 ubuntu pcs connected through a router. how can I share files between them? a single shared folder on each computer should be enough
[09:30] <unop> bingungaja, so what really happens when you loging?  how does it fail?
[09:30] <woozzy> does anyone know anything about football manager live running on ubuntu
[09:30] <aftertaf> Marquis-Boy: so edit the hosts file and put the localhost and your host name on the same line, separated by a space, and remoev the 2nd line
[09:31] <adam7> ActionParsnip: same here, atheros and realtek
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> !samba | fuhbah
[09:31] <xeer> hi all, got lots of problems with my current install of ubuntu. I'm wanting to reinstall with a downloaded image without burning it. how can I do this?
[09:31] <adam7> linduxed: do you need your thumb drive for other stuff or just ubuntu?
[09:31] <fuhbah> ActionParsnip: I dont want to share within a Windows environment
[09:31] <adam7> xeer: you got a 1gb thumb drive or bigger?
[09:31] <vietnamese> install wine for more function with windows programs
[09:32] <Madsy> fuhbah: Set up a network drive via NFS
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: its compatible with hplip
[09:32] <linduxed> adam7: i can make it a ubuntu only drive
[09:32] <unop> !nfs | fuhbah
[09:32] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: apparently so
[09:32] <xeer> adam7: yes, I have a flash drive.
[09:32] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: doesn't actually work though
[09:32] <adam7> xeer: you can use that to install ubuntu from
[09:32] <demilord_78> I only drink it vietnamese
[09:32] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: and no useful error messages
[09:32] <bingungaja> unop: firstly it stated "failed to add entry for user admin" then i click ok, then "your home directory is not listed etc .... it doesn't appeat to exist, do you want to login the root directory as your home directory ? it is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe session"
[09:32] <adam7> xeer: assuming your computer is new enough and you don't mind wiping the thumb drive
[09:32] <fuhbah> unop/Madsy: alright thanks
[09:32] <xeer> adam7, would I use it as a live-cd? or would I have to install ubunut on to the drive to access the environment?
[09:32] <adam7> xeer: you can also to a network install I think
[09:32] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: the best I've been able to get out of it is "error: Unsupported model: Deskjet_F4200_series

[09:32] <adam7> !install | xeer
[09:33] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: thanks, I do know how to use Google and I've been to that page.  It doesn't help.
[09:33] <vietnamese> ubuntu install is very easy
[09:33] <sgraham> ya totally unimpressed with thes packages and module-assistant
[09:33] <jitu3485> when i open a port in gtkterm it gives error Control signals read: Input/output error ; i am running gtkterm as root
[09:33] <vietnamese> dont like another nix
[09:34] <Kunin> what is the command that lets you bind key combinations to custom scripts?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: well thats all everyone does in here as I very much doubt anyone has the exact make / model of printer you have
[09:34] <unop> bingungaja, check /etc/passwd to see if a valid home directory is specified for that user - then check if that directory exists and has the right permissions
[09:34] <vietnamese> I tried install a lot of them
[09:34] <phnom> I have a small "problem" in xmonad. The border around the windows go outside the screen; http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6530/200901081028551440x900sqs7.png . So I can see the border everywhere except at the right edge.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: so saying "i can use google" is moot
[09:34] <xorl> ugh, why does the ubuntu installer everytime I create a swap partition, the installer automatically makes it a /home ext3 partition
[09:35] <vietnamese> but chosen Ubuntu like daily OS
[09:35] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: great, well, any suggestions on what *else* I can try?
[09:35] <bingungaja> unop: how ? use recovery mode ? since i can't login
[09:35] <lorenzo> hi, i just installed a new set of icons, which i love. Yet, some of the icons are in the folder but are not applied. Namely all those in the "devices" folder and a few in the "places" folder; also, all the small folder icons in the resources menus. Default Gnome icons are used instead. This happens with most of the icon sets that I have tried. This one in particular is here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=78259&forumpage=
[09:35] <lorenzo> 1 Can anyone please help? Thank you very much
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: www.ask.com
[09:35] <adam7> gordonjcp: yahoo search? </sarcasm>
[09:35] <adam7> ActionParsnip: haha
[09:35] <xorl> bugging the crap aout of me
[09:36] <vietnamese> ha ha
[09:36] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: all the instructions say on that page is to run hp-setup
[09:36] <vietnamese> tried with google
[09:36] <unop> bingungaja, can you log on at a console?  i.e. CTRL+ALT+F1  ?
[09:36] <vietnamese> everything there
[09:36] <Paddy_EIRE> !anyone | lorenzo
[09:36] <sgraham> has anyone in here been able to compile drivers with module-assistant in hardy?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: there may be an equiv driver
[09:36] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: hp-setup doesn't work, the error message isn't helpful, and at this point I don't know what else to do about it
[09:36] <Purple_stuff> Hey all :>
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: where the same driver drives many printers
[09:36] <Purple_stuff> umm I have a small q
[09:37] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: but if hplip is the one that's *supposed* to work, why doesn't it?
[09:37] <lorenzo> Paddy_Eire, i asked my question straight ahead, it's pretty long too :) that was just the final part
[09:37] <sgraham> so far tonight i have followed 4 different howtos on this and each one has faild because the actual driver we not in the source package or..it got installed to some other directory?!
[09:37] <Mazingaz78> hi, sorry for my english, limit ram of Ubuntu server 32bit?
[09:37] <Paddy_EIRE> lorenzo: ah.. should have checked my scrollback :)
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: in open source, there are no garuntees
[09:37] <Anarch> What command-line programs are available for recording from a microphone?  Visual feedback on volume during recording WBN.
[09:37] <lorenzo> Paddy_EIRE, no prob :)
[09:37] <Kunin> adam7: To confirm (again), live cd keyboard functions as expected
[09:37] <remoteCTR1> anyone got experience with Free NX?
[09:37] <bingungaja> unop: not at all, just my desktop screen and nothing can be done
[09:38] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: oh well
[09:38] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: hey there bro, howsit goin?
[09:38] <Paddy_EIRE> lorenzo: have you logged out of gnome and back in?
[09:38] <unop> bingungaja, then you'll need to use the recovery mode
[09:38] <Paddy_EIRE> lorenzo: just to get the obvious ones out of the way
[09:38] <bingungaja> unop: sorry yes, i can login with console
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: you could download the latest hplip, or you could compile if the source on hps site is newer than the version in repos
[09:38] <mukiex> Is there any way to open up an existing "terminal" (e.g. ctrl+alt+F9 or F10) X session via another computer? e.g. one that's not "switched to" on the Linux box? I have SSH access to the box, I just want to VNC to one of its X sessions.
[09:38] <remoteCTR1> unop: *waving over the channel*
[09:38] <lorenzo> Paddy_EIRE, yes, i even tried reboot but no luck
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTR1: getting by, slowly
[09:39] <unop> hey remoteCTR1
[09:39] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: it's bloody annoying though, having bought a printer/scanner thing on the basis that it says that it is supported and it *isn't*
[09:39] <remoteCTR1> ActionParsnip: mhm coming down is the hardest thing, right?*g*
[09:39] <Mazingaz78> limit ram for Ubuntu server 32bit?
[09:39] <bingungaja> unop: in console now,
[09:39] <unop> bingungaja,  what does this give you?  grep $USER /etc/passwd
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: well it is, its just gonna take some work
[09:39] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: uh-huh
[09:39] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: and that's what I'm asking about
[09:39] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I've followed the instructions and so far it's no-go
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: It is supported by HPLIP (requires HPLIP version 2.8.5 or late
[09:40] <remoteCTR1> why cant i find free NX in the repos, can it really be that ubuntu is the "only" distro without freeNX packages??
[09:40] <aftertaf> mukiex: with screen, yes....
[09:40] <bingungaja> unop: gnats:x:42:41:Gnats Bug-Reporting system (admin):/var/lib/gnats:/bin/sh
[09:40] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: ah right, so when the HPLIP page says it's supported in Ubuntu 8.04 it's actually lying?
[09:40] <Paddy_EIRE> !freenx | remoteCTR1
[09:41] <moijk> Hello. My TV has VGA so when I want to watch a movie on it I connect and extend the desktop. the problem is that it require a restart of x-windows and doesnt seem so fluent in its workings. Is it a better way to somehow extend to the external screen when needed?
[09:41] <Russ> I'm using jauny, and there seems to be a serious regression in gnome-media, the mixer is *gone*
[09:41] <bingungaja> unop: admin:x:1000:1000:Hendri,,,:/path/to/new/home:/bin/bash
[09:41] <remoteCTR1> so much for ubottu..
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: they are exclusive, if ubuntu hasnt got it right then thats not HPs fault
[09:41] <remoteCTR1> Paddy_EIRE: yeah great, thanks man:)
[09:41] <unop> bingungaja, how about ls -ld /path/to/new/home
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: i think you may need to compile hp's software using the latest source
[09:42] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: yeah, the most recent on the site is 2.8.12
[09:42] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: so presumably 2.8.2 is thoroughly obsolete
[09:42] <aftertaf> let me just interrupt to say how much i love using linux instead of a certain other OS...
[09:42]  * aftertaf feels better for that
[09:42] <gordonjcp> aftertaf: Mac OS?
[09:42] <aftertaf> nah, its a unix too ;)
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: i wouldnt know, i'd try getting the .12, it may make it work
[09:42] <bingungaja> unop: no such file or directory
[09:43] <kennyyu> hi there, my 8.10 ubuntu cannot wake up from hibernation. any idea?
[09:43] <Tekno> no
[09:43] <bonhoffer> so what is is gtk?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: i dont use printers but I can websearch
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> !gtk | bonhoffer
[09:43] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I only want to use the scanner
[09:43] <unop> bingungaja,   sudo mkdir -p /path/to/new/home && chown $USER.$USER /path/to/new/home
[09:43] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, specific to metacity?
[09:43] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: tbh I could have retyped the five pages and redrawn the two pages of circuit diagrams in the time I've wasted on this already this morning
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: no, thats a window manager
[09:44] <bonhoffer> or specific to gnome -- (all that uses gnome mostly uses gtk for interfaces)
[09:44] <unop> bingungaja, actually, what was your previous username?
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: its a long haul thing
[09:44] <bingungaja> unop: hendri
[09:44] <bonhoffer> o.k. so gnome is not a window manager?
[09:44] <unop> bingungaja, does /home/hendri  exist?
[09:44] <bingungaja> unop: i type exactly what u gave me ?
[09:45] <bingungaja> unop: yes it exist
[09:45] <bonhoffer> where can i learn/review all this (where a kernel starts/stops, window manager and whatever gnome is . . .) (not really new to linux, but new to getting under the hood)
[09:45] <unop> bingungaja,  then use this command.   sudo mv /home/hendri /home/new_username
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: just websearch, wikipedia wil have some tasty treats
[09:45] <kennyyu> hi there, my 8.10 ubuntu cannot wake up from hibernation. any idea?
[09:46] <bingungaja> unop: done, then ? reboot ?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> kennyyu: hibernation is a PITA to get nice
[09:46] <aftertaf> bonhoffer: www.unixgarden.com
[09:46] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, agreed, but what is gnome? (if not window-manager)
[09:46] <unop> bingungaja, not necessary - you can try logging in now
[09:46] <SPF> lol: http://xkcd.com/149/
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: gnome is a desktop environment
[09:46] <aftertaf> bonhoffer: oops its in french, sorry ;)
[09:46] <bingungaja> unop: how to do that in terminal, sorry :P
[09:47] <jim_p> !info acer-hk
[09:47] <Kunin> JMLLMJT12
[09:47] <unop> bingungaja, get back to the login screen   CTRL+ALT+F7
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: kde is a desktop environment too, it uses kwin as the default window manager
[09:47] <kennyyu> ActionParsnip: hmm... so, no well-defined solutions currently? :-o
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: if you use compiz and use compiz --replace, you are replaceing metacity with compiz
[09:47] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, so what does a window-manager do?
[09:48] <bingungaja> unop: there's just desktop screen with nothing icon or else
[09:48] <ghm33> sirs, this is a rather lengthy question: i installed xampp on my laptop and access it via LAN using it's ip address ie http://<IP_ADDRESS>/website. I had to edit the website to recognize http://<IP_ADDRESS>/website as it's 'home'. Now obviously, i will not be able to access same website using 'localhost' if i access it via the laptop itself. I'm sure this has to do with hosts. Help please?
[09:48] <unop> bingungaja,  CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
[09:48] <bonhoffer> please don't say manage windows . . . :)
[09:48] <puff> Heyall...I upgraded to ibex today.  I'm noticing a variety of minor UI tweaks that are kindof annoying, like the right-click menu in terminal no longer has hot keys,so I can'tjust "right-click p" to paste, I have to right-click and then arrow down to paste and hit enter.  What's up with that?
[09:48] <unop> bonhoffer, well, it does exactly that
[09:48] <Marquis-Boy> aftertaf: so far so good. :)
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: it draws the windows you drag round the place
[09:48] <aftertaf> Marquis-Boy: nice one ;)
[09:48] <icqnumber> on what repo are this package available https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/nvidia-glx-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 ?
[09:49] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, expected, does it do anything more than draw windows?
[09:49] <bingungaja> unop: still, failed to add entry for user admin ... then no home directory is listed, jus as previous issues
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: not as far as i know
[09:49] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, anything with the panels and management apps . . .
[09:49] <unop> bingungaja,  try rebooting
[09:49] <gordonjcp> ghm33: I'm not sure exactly what you're asking there
[09:49] <puff> bonhoffer: Generally speaking, X windows provides the underlying technology for doing GUI windows, but  the specific window manager you run provides the various specific details of user interface, like dragging and dropping, resizing windows,etc.
[09:49] <remoteCTR1> with what command do i find out what version of linux i have installed?
[09:50] <puff> bonhoffer: Oh, and of course things like where the various 'standard' desktop menu elements are,etc.
[09:50] <bonhoffer> puff, interesting -- so what about the look and feel of a given window
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: yeah that too, the menus and all that stuff
[09:50] <Marquis-Boy> Why is k3b update being kept back?
[09:50] <bonhoffer> i know i really need to experiment a bit
[09:50] <rww> remoteCTR1: lsb_release -a to see what version of Ubuntu you have. uname -r to find out what Linux kernel version you have.
[09:50] <Fuzzy> guys i have installed amerycas army and i want to delete it
[09:50] <Fuzzy> how to?
[09:50] <remoteCTR1> rww: nice, thanks
[09:50] <puff> bonhoffer: To give examples from the microsoft world, the "start" button, the menu bar in general, alt-tab behavior, the UI aspect of the system tray, all of these elements would be defined by the window manager in X windows.
[09:51] <Fuzzy> it was .run file when i was installing it
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: its a good thing to know
[09:51] <bingungaja> unop: nah ... nothing change
[09:51] <bonhoffer> ActionParsnip, when you say the menus -- are you talking about the panels in gnome
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> bonhoffer: yeah the top and bottom panels are metacitys responsibilty
[09:51] <bonhoffer> o.k. so the window manager picks and chooses from gnome apps and how getting to them is presented to the user
[09:52] <puff> bonhoffer: And the window frame, resize actions, window-dragging actions, any standard menu elements on the window itself (typical example would be the minimize/maximize/close actions, very commonly located in the window titlebar, in the top-right corner of the window).
[09:52] <Eber> guys, is it possible to generate a php.ini file for my current php installation automatically?!?
[09:52] <bonhoffer> puff, great -- o.k.
[09:52] <Carroarmato0> I'm going to install Ubuntu on my Dell XPS 1530, it has an Intel Core Duo Processor T5800, can I use the amd64 images to have 64bit Ubuntu?
[09:52] <ftornell> hi guys: can anyone help me get the murrina crystal them to work? I have a new fresh installation of ubuntu 8.10, 32-bit. Tried to install the engine and then the theme but it wont work. the theme is located here ang gnome-look.org: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina+Crystal?content=96065
[09:52] <Fuzzy> somebody give me a help
[09:53] <icqnumber> on what repo are this package available https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/nvidia-glx-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 ?
[09:53] <bingungaja> unop: then ? :(
[09:53] <adaptr> Carroarmato0: there are no AMD64 images - they are 64-bit images
[09:53] <bonhoffer> a what level does gnome (or the desktop-environment stop) basic file operations -- done by the desktop-environment or kernel?
[09:53] <ghm33> gordon: ok ill rephrase. How do I assign an ip address to my laptop? In such a way that it'll do so only on a particular network, but on others, will resort to dhcp
[09:53] <bonhoffer> say moving files from one directory to another?
[09:53] <Carroarmato0> adam7, well in the list it states ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso
[09:53] <unop> bingungaja, might just be easier creating a new user all together - with adduser
[09:54] <Carroarmato0> adam7, but will it work also on my Intel Core Duo?
[09:54] <Marquis-Boy> Anyone know why sudo apt-get upgrade tells me that k3b is "kept back"? I can't seem to select it even though it shows up in my system update options. I'm running gnome but use a few KDE apps like AMAROK ok
[09:54] <bonhoffer> i am sure the mv executable is used . . . but what libraries does that executable reference?
[09:54] <Flannel> Marquis-Boy: try dist-upgrade instead of upgrade
[09:54] <Marquis-Boy> tanx Flannel
[09:55] <asterisxk> can someone help me bring up gui for lpr?
[09:55] <bingungaja> unop: then teach me will u, I need to back up my file
[09:55] <Marquis-Boy> Flannel - same error: The following packages have been kept back:   k3b
[09:56] <bonhoffer> hopefully i haven't asked too technical a question
[09:56] <Flannel> Marquis-Boy: Just k3b?  Alright, pastebin the output of this: apt-cache policy k3b && sudo apt-get install k3b
[09:56] <ghm33> folks, is 'shutdown -h now' considered a hard reboot?
[09:56] <unop> bingungaja,  sudo adduser new_username admin;  sudo passwd new_username
[09:56] <ghm33> im sorry : is 'shutdown - h now' a hard shutdown rather?
[09:56] <Carroarmato0> Can anyone say if using the ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso  image will work on my Intel Core Duo with 64bit?
[09:56] <Paddy_EIRE> Carroarmato0: yes it will
[09:56] <Carroarmato0> Paddy_EIRE, thank you :)
[09:56] <Flannel> Carroarmato0: it will.  AMD64 is a platform, it's not vendor specific
[09:57] <Carroarmato0> Flannel, It's like.... AMD based?
[09:57] <Marquis-Boy> Flannel - cheers. looks like it is reinstalling k3b.
[09:57] <rww> Wait, Intel Core is 64-bit? I thought only Intel Core 2 was...
[09:57] <gh0st> super random question, anyone remember reading about a project regarding the range of a bluetooth enabled device, and a usb-BT dongle, and when said device enters range, executes a pre-determined script, i.e: turning lights on, opening a web browser etc, etc,  anyone provide any info regarding this topic? (sorry for randomness btw)
[09:57] <Flannel> Carroarmato0: No more than i386 (intel 386) is intel only
[09:57] <saler> Flannel, can u see this error it not work with ubunut past so i put it here http://i39.tinypic.com/25hptug.jpg
[09:57] <Carroarmato0> Flannel, ok thanks
[09:58] <puff> gh0st: Never heard of it.
[09:58] <bingungaja> unop: sudo adduser blink admin --- the user blink does not exist
[09:58] <gh0st> it was a couple of years ago, and my google foo has turned no results
[09:58] <puff> gh0st: I was looking into bluetooth stuff last year. It's probably fairly doable.
[09:58] <Hakon|24> gh0st: like, walking into a room and the light turns on? :D
[09:58] <Hakon|24> nice idea
[09:58] <aftertaf> gh0st: you are /dev/random personified :)
[09:58] <gh0st> correct
[09:58] <AdvoWork> im logged onto a machine as a user, which is of type administrator. Ive got a file config.cfg which i created in opt/firefox i open with text editor and try and save it and it says: could not save the file.. ... necessary permissions and so on??
[09:58] <rww> Flannel, Paddy_EIRE: I'm looking on Wikipedia's page on Intel Core, and it says it's 32-bit =/
[09:58] <Flannel> saler: Did you do something off to your sources.list?
[09:58] <AdvoWork> I can do it by doing sudo vim opt/firefox/config..
[09:59] <Marquis-Boy> Flannel - problem solved
[09:59] <gh0st> its easy enough to implement, but i think i could use some help/other minds with thisa
[09:59] <gh0st> this*
[09:59] <saler> Flannel,i u mean change ,no
[09:59] <Marquis-Boy> Flannel - thansk heaps
[09:59] <puff> gh0st: The main gotcha is that one of the devices would have to be polling fairly constantly.
[09:59] <gh0st> lol aftertaf*
[09:59] <saler> Flannel,if  u mean change ,no
[09:59] <muxomor> Hallo all, could you help me with such a problem: i had an nvidia card, installed for it proprietary driver. Then i  unplugged it, and put an ati card, modified xorg.conf for using ati  open-source driver (Card Radeon 9200 SE, RV280 based). Now i dont' have 3d, glxinfo says "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual". extract of Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102102 . It says something about missing nvidia driver, for x server, but i specified
[09:59] <muxomor> "ati" in xorg.conf. DO you have any thoughts?
[09:59] <aftertaf> Marquis-Boy: so all working now? :)
[10:00] <Flannel> saler: What are you doing when this happens anyway?
[10:00] <stix> hi guys. When I right-click a folder in Nautilus and share it, in which smb.conf file is that set up? I cannot find it in /etc/smb.conf
[10:00] <gh0st> puff: what if it was a home grown app on the phone?
[10:00] <Marquis-Boy> aftertaf - yeah, sorting through all my issues  one by one! :)
[10:00] <unop> bingungaja,  sudo adduser new_username; sudo adduser new_username admin;  sudo passwd new_username;
[10:00] <saler> Flannel, i am trying to install ,just gnome
[10:00] <Flannel> saler: What do you currently have installed?
[10:01] <saler> Flannel,sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment , also not work it keep asking fr this package
[10:02] <puff> gh0st: Then the phone would have tobepolling constantly.
[10:02] <Flannel> saler: Right.  Ok, this is a fresh install?  First thing you should do on a fresh install is `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
[10:02] <Flannel> saler: Then once that's done, do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:02] <gh0st> hmmmm
[10:02] <puff> gh0st: In general, bluetooth devices do not spontaneously transmit.
[10:02] <bingungaja> unop: it ask full name, then room number, what is room number ?
[10:02] <unop> bingungaja, you can leave that blank
[10:02] <saler> Flannel ,k i will try that
[10:03] <Marquis-Boy> Next problem: I have an NAS hard disk which shares all my media. It's SMB shared as Media1. How do I set it up so that whenever I am on my home network I can access it as a disk from my system? Kind of liek Winblows "automatically reconnect at startup" on a mapped drive.  Without these feature I can use library functions in Amarok.
[10:03] <bingungaja> unop: ok, done, than ? back to login page ?
[10:03] <puff> gh0st: Unlike, say, cell phones, which poll frequently (at *least* every few minutes) to tell the local cell phone where they are.
[10:03] <Ragnar> Hi! I'm using 8.10 with a CL Audigy soundcard. I used 8.04 with both line outs independently, one had the volume set by "pcm front", the other by "surround". I can't get the second line to out work again.
[10:03] <Marquis-Boy> edit: CAN'T use library in Amarok, sorry
[10:03] <Flannel> puff, gh0st: mind taking itto #ubuntu-offtopic?  Thanks
[10:03] <unop> bingungaja, yea
[10:03] <puff> gh0st: Er, tell the local cell _tower_ where they are.
[10:03] <puff> Flannel: Sure.
[10:04] <puff> Flannel: Meanwhile, can you answer my question about ibex / gnometerminal?
[10:04] <gh0st> sorry flannel, ill take 'er else were
[10:04] <puff> Flannel:  I upgraded to ibex today.  I'm noticing a variety of minor UI tweaks that are kindof annoying, like the right-click menu in terminal no longer has hot keys,so I can'tjust "right-click p" to paste, I have to right-click and then arrow down to paste and hit enter.  What's up with that?
[10:05] <Flannel> puff: I have no idea.  I just upgraded to Hardy from Dapper the other day.
[10:05] <AndreU> hi, do someone has an account for the ubuntuforums?
[10:05] <saler> Flannel, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , this command will upgrade my Os from server to desktop
[10:05] <puff> gh0st: I've gotta crash anyway, but I'll pm you my emailif you want to ask about it.
[10:05] <Flannel> saler: It'll install gnome, yes.
[10:05] <AndreU> I didn´t get an approval and need a patch posted there
[10:05] <Flannel> AndreU: Try #ubuntuforums
[10:05] <AndreU> thanks!!!
[10:05] <bingungaja> unop: why is it my data all gone in this username ?
[10:05] <nomingzi> w3m => light-weight browser for CLI, so I can use "Tab" to jump from link to another, but how do i jump backward to previous link (I have tried to use Shift+Tab but it won't work) please advise, thanks
[10:06] <stix> hi guys. When I right-click a folder in Nautilus and share it, in which smb.conf file is that set up? I cannot find it in /etc/smb.conf
[10:06] <unop> bingungaja, because it's a brand-new user -- the other user's data is in its own home directory
[10:06] <Marquis-Boy> stix - no idea, sorry
[10:07] <bingungaja> unop: then what should i do if i want grab the old Data ?
[10:07] <b_tard> I am looking for a chat that helps me specifically with questions about encryption and security
[10:07] <puff> Hm, good question, how hard/easy is it to get file sharing set up in ubuntu?  I've never needed it before, I just use ssh and/or set up apache on whatever box I want to make files public from. But now I'm in a network with several mac and window sguys and they're making their drives "visible" on the network. I assume that's samba, or something?
[10:07] <nomingzi> stix: i think u need the necessary right to read/edit the smb.conf file or Samba is not installed in your PC
[10:08] <unop> bingungaja, navigate to that home directory - probably /home/old_username
[10:08] <stix> nomingzi, samba is installed and I can edit the file just fine
[10:09] <unop> !samba > puff
[10:09] <Marquis-Boy> stix: I have /usr/share/samba/smb.conf
[10:09] <vega> can anyone explain why ubuntu needs to be rebooted after updating openssl?
[10:09] <Marquis-Boy> stic: and I use samba a bit. sort of
[10:09] <stix> Marquis-Boy, yes I have that too. But my shares are not listed there
[10:10] <vega> seems update-manager wants to reboot more often than is needed, this starts to resemble windows..
[10:10] <nomingzi> stix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[10:10] <b_tard> puff it is supposed to be very easy, but samba is full of bugs, no matter what you do, windows or macs sometimes just cant find you and vice versa
[10:10] <unop> vega, services have to be restarted to take into account the new openssl libraries
[10:10] <Marquis-Boy> stix:    /home/mark/.smb/smb.conf
[10:11] <vega> unop: well a normal desktop doesn't have many openssl-dependant services, besides they can be restarted without a reboot
[10:11] <Marquis-Boy> or /etc/samba/smb.conf
[10:11] <puff> b_tard: Thanks.
[10:11] <b_tard> i am a noob btw
[10:11] <bingungaja> unop: i think why i met the first problem, u see the folder /home/hendri (the first one) - then it doesn't change to /home/admin, instead it change to /home/admin/hendri -- is it the issue we're looking for ?
[10:11] <stix> Marquis-Boy, I have no dir called .smb in users home
[10:11] <Dorobo18jp> Hi , Is there anyway to reset my repositiory i keep getting cant fully update
[10:12] <Marquis-Boy> stix : /etc/samba/smb.conf is what you are after, I'm pretty sure
[10:12] <unop> vega, well there's obviously some service that depends on openssl - and you're right, you don't have to reboot - you can just restart services - and a reboot is an easy way to do that
[10:13] <unop> bingungaja, that's probably it, yea
[10:13] <Marquis-Boy> stix - if you don;t have that one then follow the link posted by nomingzi'
[10:13] <stix> oki thanks
[10:13] <Marquis-Boy> Stic: np
[10:13] <shoeunited> Is there a good program or script that will convert a bunch of 7z files to zip?
[10:14] <vega> unop: i don't think it would be hard to restart those automatically or tell the user which ones to restart
[10:14] <Marquis-Boy> So... can anyone help me "map" a NAS shared folder so I can use library fucntions in Amarok? Or watch vids using xbmc?
[10:14] <rww> vega: Feel free to post that idea on Ubuntu Brainstorm.
[10:14] <rww> !brainstorm | vega
[10:15] <unop> vega, it's not - debconf prompts me for services to restart and can do that automatically  - maybe you need to reconfigure debconf too? i'm not sure

[10:36] <Marquis-Boy> Can anyone help me work out why I am getting this error when trying to sudo mount -a:   "mount error 20 = Not a directory"
[10:36] <Flannel> daredevilthere: Why do you want to do that?
[10:37] <daredevilthere> i m learning about my ubuntu system
[10:37] <daredevilthere> i made some accounts and want to see how can i manage them
[10:37] <Flannel> daredevilthere: ah.  well, Users and groups is one way, its the GUI.  You can list all of the users on your system (even the non-desktop ones) by looking at /etc/passwd
[10:37] <dieter_> unop, thank's a lot, after a quick look into dia i think this is what I am looking for
[10:38] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: probably typo in /etc/fstab file? Since mount -a mounts all filesystems mentioned in /etc/fstab, using the arguments specified in that file
[10:38] <selangel> 1
[10:38] <daredevilthere> Flannel: alrite thanks and how can i put some restrictions on users like which directories to access and wht programs to run
[10:38] <perlsyntax> I bmake a debain cd with livehelp and i not sure how to boot up the live cd.
[10:39] <Marquis-Boy> ocean:   don't think so. My fstab says: //<IP_ADDRESS>/media1  /media/media1  cifs username=guest,password=,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[10:39] <perlsyntax> anyone use live-helper before?
[10:39] <perlsyntax> hello
[10:39] <Marquis-Boy> perl - nope
[10:40] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: to verify that the error is (or isn't) on that line, you might want to try "mount -t cifs -a"
[10:40] <perlsyntax> i not sure how to boot into my deb
[10:41] <Marquis-Boy> oCean - still get the error
[10:42] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: ah.. what are you trying to mount?

[10:43] <Marquis-Boy> yep...
[10:44] <kish> hey
[10:44] <daredevilthere> How can i put restrictions for users like which directories to access and wht programs to use

[10:46] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: oke, so it *is* loaded. Hmmm...
[10:47] <Marquis-Boy> oCean Yup. I think it is to do wth user ids and permissions.  But there are no passwords set on the drive itself
[10:48] <yanz> Does anyone know how to copy files to another location with the access denied removed? Its because I am not on Root account..
[10:48] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: oke, in your options you specify password= Since you're not using that, pls try mounting without that option?
[10:49] <Marquis-Boy> oCean: will do. I tried that before though. following this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

[10:50] <mespejel> hi does anyone know
[10:50] <mespejel> is possible to
[10:50] <mespejel> java programming on linux
[10:50] <mespejel> ?
[10:50] <yanz> Yes
[10:50] <Seveas> ramon, lspci only lists things on the pci bus. Not external devices
[10:50] <Firky> meshe, yes it is
[10:50] <nsadmin> is poss
[10:50] <nsadmin> ible to u
[10:50] <Firky> you can program in C++ too if you like
[10:50] <nsadmin> se less en
[10:50] <nsadmin> ter key?
[10:51] <ramon> seveas would you tell me whats the rpoper command?
[10:51] <mespejel> i dont need C++ i need java
[10:51] <ramon> proper
[10:51] <mespejel> im taking a webpage design course
[10:51] <Melik> anyone good at webcams here? need some help setting up my webcam :/
[10:51] <Seveas> ramon, afaik there is no command to find out what's connected to the parallel port. At least I don't know it :)
[10:51] <rambo_> Hello
[10:51] <nsadmin> mespejel: and you want java for that? ok, check packages.ubuntu.com
[10:52] <Marquis-Boy> oC: change FSTAB to //<IP_ADDRESS>/media1  /media/media1  cifs uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0     yields same results
[10:52] <ramon> seveas thanks
[10:52] <adaptr> Seveas: some of the later applicances that support bidi parallel ports may provide some info, but the driver has to support that, obviously
[10:52] <yanz> Does anyone have any experience with copying files to a location without being root?
[10:52] <adaptr> well...yes
[10:52] <rambo_> I'm searcheing a program, which can record internet radio stream. Can anybody suggest an application?
[10:52] <bobslaede> oh my oh my, got into work this morning, and my ubuntu laptop is now a vista machine :(
[10:52] <nsadmin> mespejel: just remember that if you have a site as large as say amazon, photo.net or google, compile time of any kind is your enemy
[10:53] <Marquis-Boy> yanz - what location?
[10:53] <yanz> Yeah. well it comes up with Access Denied when I try to install plugins for amsn.
[10:53] <asterisxk> how can i see what defaults lpr has?
[10:53] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: well, I'm running out of options then..
[10:53] <yanz> /usr/share/amsn/plugins
[10:53] <adaptr> yanz: you must be root to install system-wide software
[10:53] <adaptr> always
[10:53] <yanz> Ok, how do I log in to root?
[10:53] <nsadmin> mespejel: but, you can install java from ubuntu packages
[10:53] <Marquis-Boy> oCean - yeah, me too. Tis wierd.
[10:54] <adaptr> yanz: you can't, use sudo
[10:54] <yanz> ok.
[10:54] <mespejel> nsdmin i know java is a bit slow
[10:54] <mespejel> but i need it
[10:54] <mespejel> thx for the info
[10:54] <mespejel> im not using ubuntu right now.. im using osx using a imac but in my old laptop i have ubuntu
[10:54] <nsadmin> look at packages.ubuntu.com, you should see a devel/programming section. btw, that section is huge
[10:55] <mespejel> thx
[10:55] <nsadmin> osx should at least already have a jre
[10:55] <oCean_> Marquis-Boy: there's one more thing you might want to try. A long-shot maybe.... Try "echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled" (It's probably 1 right now)
[10:55] <sxp_> hi
[10:55] <yanz> So, what would the command line be to copy a folder called "music" on the desktop to /usr/share/amsn/plugins
[10:55] <sxp_> can somebody try to connect with ssh to my ip address?
[10:56] <nsadmin> yanz: man cp, man bash
[10:56] <nsadmin> or info bash, better
[10:56] <sxp_> i need to verifiy if my ssh server works fine
[10:56] <nsadmin> sxp_: ssh localhost
[10:56] <adaptr> sxp_: not likely, why ?
[10:56] <mespejel> yeah it has
[10:57] <sxp_> nsadmin: no in this way
[10:57] <sxp_> extern connection
[10:57] <mespejel> it just does not work with ppc
[10:57] <adaptr> sxp_: why
[10:57] <mespejel> well at lesat not java 6
[10:57] <mespejel> least
[10:58] <Marquis-Boy> oCean: is that just typed in at the command prompt? Needs a sudo?
[10:59] <yanz> xhost + ....su -  What exactly would that do o.O
[10:59] <nomingzi> how do I save all the html + related files (from an internet website) into my harddisk for offline reading. thanks
[10:59] <nsadmin> man xhost
[10:59] <nsadmin> you might as well at least look :P
[10:59] <bingungaja> how can i grab shared folder in ubuntu with window vista ?
[11:00] <adaptr> nomingzi: with wget
[11:00] <nsadmin> nomingzi: look into wget like the adaptr sed
[11:00] <Marquis-Boy> bingunggaja : ihad that problem with vista 64. my solution was to install ubuntu on that vista machine.
[11:00] <nsadmin> bingungaja: look into samba, smbclient, smbfs
[11:01] <bingungaja> nsadmin: thx
[11:02] <piksi> is there a way to open and close certain ports with networkamanger/some other automatical way according to the wlan/lan network one is connected to?
[11:02] <adaptr> open and close ports ? I'm afraid you have misunderstood TCP networking
[11:03] <Ksilebo> Anyone have any experience really tuning an Ubuntu server for use as a file server?
[11:04] <daredevilthere> Hey buddies how can i disable services like mythtv mysqld that start on startup
[11:04] <cybermoeslem> low
[11:04] <taggart> start->run->msconfig.... oops :)
[11:05] <Flannel> !bum | daredevilthere
[11:05] <piksi> adaptr: ... if i'm connected to wlan at home i need to have certain ports open for lan services, but when i'm at work or in a public location i'd prefer to have them closed. if i have just one firewall profile they'll be always open to the outside
[11:06] <adaptr> piksi: unless you have actual services running on those ports, they'll never be open
[11:06] <ramon> i have a webcamera as a gift (old) and has three types of way to connect (one single cable with a 25pins male plug, one like the ones the mouse and keyboard use and another like it too but bigger) and i dont know to check if the computer see it...does anyone know what should i do? should i try look for a driver?...what should i use to plug it?
[11:08] <daredevilthere> thanks Flannel
[11:08] <Marquis-Boy> ramon - sounds old skool
[11:08] <adi1> hi all
[11:09] <adi1> anybody knows how to add dictionary in dict application in gnome
[11:09] <piksi> adaptr: i know, and i have, that's why i was wondering if there was some kind of automatic profile based system for it. for example, having sshd visible only from a certain wlan network (i know i could just use keys and accept certain hosts but the service itself would still be open)
[11:09] <ramon> marquis-boy...lol...the thing is the camera doesnt have any name or so...i may try ov51x to see what happen
[11:09] <bibstha> how do i disable desktop effects
[11:09] <Paddy_EIRE> ramon: Instead of descriping whatever that particular brand of camera looks like how about telling us the model?
[11:09] <bibstha> ?
[11:10] <adaptr> piksi: ah, I see... sorry, I don't work with wlans in Linux
[11:10] <Flannel> ramon: The second type of connector is called a DIN connector.  And, I haven't the feintest idea.  Try.... plugging it in, then booting, then firing up ekiga to see if you get anything.
[11:10] <piksi> adaptr: np, just asking :-)
[11:11] <adaptr> Flannel: no ,he means USB
[11:11] <ramon> made in china...thats all it says
[11:11] <Flannel> adaptr: No, I think he means DB-25, PS2, and DIN
[11:11] <adaptr> ah, yes, I was wondering about the "same, but bigger" conundrum
[11:12] <adaptr> it doesn't exactly sound like a web cam
[11:12] <alfian> me pleazzz
[11:15] <daredevilthere> Is there a way to make a cell phone work as cam in ubuntu ?
[11:15] <daredevilthere> just like motwik?
[11:16] <lorenzo>  hi, i just installed a new set of icons, which i love. Yet, some of the icons are in the folder but are not applied. Namely all those in the "devices" folder and a few in the "places" folder; also, all the small folder icons in the resources menus. Default Gnome icons are used instead. This happens with most of the icon sets that I have tried. This one in particular is here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=78259&forumpage=
[11:16] <lorenzo>  1 Can anyone please help? Thank you very much
[11:17] <adac> Hey guys. I have a problem with the resolution. I ran sudo nvidia-settings and I did save the settings then in the nvidia gui dialog to the xorg.conf file by clicking on "save to X configuration file". This is how my xorg.conf does look like: http://pastie.org/355542 . Unfortunately after logging out and logging in again the resolution 1280x1024 appears instead of the resolution 1680x1050. Any ideas how to fix that?
[11:17] <guestguestnew>  Permissions should be u=rwx (0700) how do i apply this to a folder and its subfolders?
[11:19] <guestguestnew>  Permissions should be u=rwx (0700) how do i apply this to a folder and its subfolders?
[11:19] <unop> guestguestnew,  chmod -R ...
[11:19] <iNutshell> guestguestnew: find folder/ -type d -exec chmod -R 0700 {} \;
[11:19] <unop> iNutshell, eh? why?
[11:19] <iNutshell> unop: ?
[11:19] <unop> iNutshell, you realize that's the exact same as  chmod -R ...
[11:20] <unop> ?
[11:20] <iNutshell> unop: subfolders , not subfiles ...
[11:20] <nsadmin> that's actually less efficient... it says: do the chmod -R to each dir recursively down
[11:20] <unop> iNutshell, sure, but you're using chmod -R too
[11:20] <iNutshell> unop: oh ..
[11:21] <unop> iNutshell, and find will find the present directory and apply chmod to it  .. and to every directory underneath - that's horrible
[11:21] <halycon> hey everyone I have a feeling it is realated to Compiz and the compiz settings but everytime I roll my finger upwards on the side of my touchpad it switches to another workspace and I was just wondering how to disable that feature
[11:21] <nsadmin> if you take the -R off, the find would probably do what you want
[11:21] <WhiteDwarf_> Hi, I was wondring if there is a way to get the timestamp reportet by dmesg (eg: [1731671.504389]) "translated" to human-readable form.
[11:21] <iNutshell> unop: my mistake ..
[11:22] <unop> WhiteDwarf_, not really - that time is the time since the kernel began execution - so unless you know exactly when that was, it's hard
[11:22] <Oli``> How can I restart pulseaudio? it is running but has crashed and it continually sending the same sound to ALSA over and over and over again. I can't connect to it via the manager. It's unresponsive to SIGTERMs too. /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart did nothing either
[11:22] <mooperd> I want to use sshfs but the /media/mountpoint does not have the appropriate permissions so all users can use it. How should I set this up?
[11:23] <andreskru> hello, i have a problem, my second disk doesnt mount, it doesnt appaer in /dev and when boot display "revalidation failed (errno=-19), some clue?)"
[11:23] <WhiteDwarf_> unop: can I, somehow, display the current time? I did not find any parameters for uptime or anything.
[11:24] <Gideon55> hi
[11:24] <WhiteDwarf_> unop: dmesg is reporting in seconds right?
[11:24] <unop> WhiteDwarf_, uptime tells you how long the system has been up - you could use that to extrapolate.
[11:24] <unop> WhiteDwarf_, right
[11:24] <WhiteDwarf_> unop: ok thanks... not a nice system but one can work with that I gues. thx again
[11:25] <Flannel> WhiteDwarf_: date
[11:25] <Gideon55> if ive connected to a router through ssh,  how do i transfer the log file to my pc to read it?
[11:25] <nsadmin> what do I install to get ssh server
[11:26] <stdin> mooperd: use "sshfs user@host mountmount -o allow_other" or create a group for all the users you want to access it and use "sshfs user@host mountmount -o gid=(id of the group)"
[11:26] <Appl3`> do u guys know of any other docks besides rocket dock?
[11:26] <daredevilthere> !sshfs
[11:26] <Appl3`> i'm just not getting good luck with that
[11:27] <daredevilthere> Appl3`: yap i think its awant
[11:27] <Flannel> !awn | Appl3`
[11:27] <nsadmin> Gideon55: you could try scp logfile ipofdesktop:
[11:27] <unop> nsadmin, openssh-server
[11:27] <Appl3`> that's what it was
[11:27] <Gideon55> nsadmin thanks
[11:27] <Appl3`> do you guys use that at all?
[11:27] <remoteCTR1> xset:  unable to open display ":1000.0" No protocol specified. Can't open display. how can i fix this?
[11:27] <reptor> hi yhere
[11:28] <nomingzi> wget -r -p -l 0 -x http://www.something.com/doc/index.html     --> i can only downloaded 1-2 files, but there are more .html files in that website. how do i use the correct wget option switch to enable me to save all the html for OFFLINE reading. Thanks.
[11:28] <Appl3`> maybe I'll just try it out!  Thanks Flannel
[11:28] <remoteCTR1> ah never mind i already found it-.-
[11:29] <andreskru> hello, i have a problem, my second disk doesnt mount, it doesnt appaer in /dev and when boot display "revalidation failed (errno=-19), some clue?)"
[11:31] <jaapvisser> nomingzi try: wget -m -k -K -E http://www.something.com/doc/index.html
[11:31] <shoeunited> unop: I seem to still be having a bit of trouble.  It won't add the extracted files to a zip archive.
[11:32] <shoeunited> unop: here's the error I'm getting:  zip warning: name not matched: j
[11:32] <Kunin> my keyboard seems to act as if the super key is permanently pressed, only happened shortly after upgrade to 8.10, does not happen with live cd... any ideas?
[11:32] <unop> shoeunited, sounds like an error when typing the command line - let's see what you have.
[11:33] <shoeunited> for i in *; do p7zip -d "$i"; j="${i%%.7z}"; zip -r "$j" "$j"; rm $j; done
[11:34] <shoeunited> Now before we do a bunch of head scratching, the files do seem to have spaces & whatnot in them, which produces something like the following: zip error: Nothing to do! (try: zip -r j.* . -i j)    rm: cannot remove `Armorines': No such file or directory
[11:34] <nomingzi> jaapvisser: still the same - only 1-2 .html are downloaded
[11:34] <Kunin> adam7: you still here?
[11:34] <iNutshell> nomingzi: is there a robots.txt files?
[11:34] <shoeunited> I'm not sure if that's related, or the problem itself, but it is the following error.
[11:35] <adaptr> shoeunited: use $() instead
[11:35] <nomingzi> jaapvisser: yes
[11:35] <shoeunited> Ah. Alright, I'll give that a shot. :)
[11:35] <unop> shoeunited, is there a reason they have to be .zip files?  it's easier with .tar.gz files - they're zip compatible
[11:35] <unop> shoeunited, adaptr  $()  for what?
[11:36] <shoeunited> The program I'm giving to them is too stupid to take anything but .zip for some reason, though comparable forms allow 7z or other formats.
[11:36] <mick02> Morning folks, I was wondering if someone could help me with a non Ubuntu related question. On the company network packets are being periodically dropped. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program like tracert that I could run over a period of time that will show me where the packets are being dropped. Any advice or help would be much appreciated
[11:36] <nomingzi> jaapvisser: the robots.txt --> content shows User agent Disallowed
[11:36] <rww> mick02: mtr, maybe?
[11:36] <mick02> rww mtr???
[11:36] <chakie_work> is it possible to install intrepid with disk encryption?
[11:36] <chakie_work> i can't find any option for it in the 32 nor 64 bit versions
[11:36] <shoeunited> And unfortunately in linux, there are no alternative programs.
[11:36] <andreskru> hello, i have a problem, my second disk doesnt mount, it doesnt appaer in /dev and when boot display "revalidation failed (errno=-19), some clue?)"
[11:36] <unop> shoeunited, i noticed i didn't quote the last $j  ..  rm "$j"  # that's causing rm to complain
[11:37] <chakie_work> the installation docs talk about encrypted disks and encrypted LVM, but there are no options related to that in the installer
[11:37] <iNutshell> nomingzi: disallowed what？
[11:37] <chakie_work> pebkac or docs snafu?
[11:37] <rww> mick02: yup. Command line utility, run it with "mtr destinationAddress".
[11:37] <chakie_work>  the docs say this about the manual partitioning: "The main setting is Use as:, which determines if the partition will have a file system on it, or be used for swap, software RAID, LVM, an encrypted file system, or not be used at all"
[11:37] <chakie_work> i have no options there apart from the basic filesystems like ext3, xfs, swap
[11:37] <mick02> rww, can i run that indefinitely until the packets start to drop from the network?
[11:37] <chakie_work> i'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/module-details.html
[11:37] <rww> mick02: yup
[11:37] <unop> shoeunited, correct that and try again - let's see what happens
[11:37] <nsadmin> or the id-ten-t problem
[11:38] <shoeunited> Alright. :)
[11:38] <nsadmin> closely related to pebkac
[11:38] <nomingzi> iNutshell:    /    --> i think it is refer to as root ???
[11:38] <mick02> rww, will that tell me where the packets are being dropped or will it just give me an overview of the % loss?
[11:38] <iNutshell> nomingzi: lftp maybe useful for you
[11:39] <daredevilthere> how can i crate a tcp/p packets in ubuntu
[11:39] <nomingzi> iNutshell: but the website is not an ftp site
[11:39] <iNutshell> nomingzi: lftp -c 'mirror romote local'
[11:39] <chakie_work> i have a 64 bit system but have now tried a few variants of 32 bit [k]ubuntu as the 64 bit versions don't according to the docs have anything related to crypto
[11:40] <iNutshell> nomingzi: lftp can download http sites
[11:40] <rww> mick02: it'll tell you where they're being dropped
[11:40] <paul68> hi is there a way to see which workstations got which ip for example I'm connected to wlan with my nokia e90 and want to know what IP it got from my server how do I can achieve this
[11:40] <rww> mick02: screenshot http://rww.name/ubuntu/mtr.png
[11:40] <mker> How can I check crc32 of a file? I googled and found out chksfv should do it but it doesn't seem to be in the repos anymore..? Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64
[11:41] <mick02> rww, thanks a million, much appreciated
[11:41] <mker> unable to locate package crc32 too
[11:42] <shoeunited> Well, it extracts just fine, and deletes the 7z file just fine, it just won't recompress the files dropped by the 7z into a zip and won't delete the files (not the biggest problem).
[11:42] <CO_Mlmbangetnih> rian
[11:43] <paul68> hi is there a way to see which workstations got which ip for example I'm connected to wlan with my nokia e90 and want to know what IP it got from my server how do I can achieve this
[11:43] <unop> shoeunited,  how many files are you working on?
[11:43] <shoeunited> 7z archives? ~400
[11:43] <kiro> Hi, I'm a new Ubuntu user and need some help :D
[11:44] <shoeunited> Grand total of files? ~3000
[11:44] <unop> shoeunited, ok, if you can bear with me - i have to do something now and be back in about half an hour, i can help then .. if your're impatient, i'd suggest asking in #bash
[11:44] <rww> mick02: looks like there's both command-line and graphical versions of mtr in the repositories. mtr is graphical, mtr-tiny is commandline (ncurses, specifically).
[11:45] <shoeunited> You're helping me, your time is my time. :)
[11:45] <daredevilthere> Hey i want to login into gui frm my windows xp like remote desktop. How can i do that
[11:45] <kiro> So I need help installing stepmania... it's a .tar.gz, how do I install it ? I tried sudo apt-get install name.tar.gz but it doesn't find the file
[11:45] <asterisxk> can someone tell me how to change the lpr default settings?
[11:45] <Chousuke> kiro: that's a source tarball
[11:45] <Chousuke> kiro: installing it is complicated.
[11:46] <unop> shoeunited, ok, i'll be back soon
[11:46] <iNutshell> daredevilthere: use vncviewer
[11:46] <Chousuke> kiro: try sudo aptitude install stepmania instead, and see if it's in the repos.
[11:46] <nsadmin> a tar is a collection of files
[11:46] <mick02> rww, thanks a lot that is exactly what I was looking for
[11:46] <shoeunited> Thank you, unop. :)

[12:06] <Rss123> bingungaja, use partitition magic
[12:06] <bingungaja> Rss123: 12

[12:06] <bingungaja> Rss123: thx
[12:06] <reptor> gparted
[12:06] <Rss123> Or any other... You can format to fat 32

[12:07] <Rss123> even ntfs
[12:07] <Rss123> It supports
[12:07] <Chousuke> bingungaja: ubuntu can reformat your HD
[12:07] <Rss123>  Chousuke, yes

[12:11] <icqnumber> !pl | ggggg
[12:11] <savvas> bingungaja: boot using the ubuntu desktop live cd, then go to menu System > Administration > Partition editor
[12:12] <rww> bingungaja: Simply formatting it won't deter someone trying to recover your data off it. Use something like DBAN (http://www.dban.org/) first, then reformat.
[12:12] <fanat1k> Hi. Has somebody installed OCS inventory?
[12:12] <bingungaja> rww: no need for that, not an important data i got here, i just want to make my notebook ready to use as i sell it
[12:13] <bingungaja> sawas : thx
[12:13] <rww> bingungaja: okay. Just boot from a LiveCD/installation CD and tell it to format the partition during installation, then.
[12:13] <bingungaja> rww: thx
[12:13] <rww> bingungaja: you can do it from the installer; don't need to open the separate partition editor, though that would work too.
[12:14] <asterisxk> can everyone do ls -l `which lpr`  and tell me your output?

[12:20] <unop> shoeunited, i'm back
[12:20] <daredevilthere> Oh k
[12:20] <paul68> dennda: thanks
[12:20] <shoeunited> Hey, I kinda messed with the code there a bit and figured out a workable solution.  (it works on all but 8 archives :D  )
[12:21] <icqnumber> Waleed, what does System->Administration->Hardware Drivers suggest you?
[12:21] <daredevilthere> anyone how do i check which scripts run at startup using update-rc.d?
[12:21] <shoeunited> It's not perfect, but since 99% of the files all extract files of the same extension, I did some more reading on man zip and made this:   for i in *; do p7zip -d "$i"; j="${i%%.7z}"; zip -r "$j" . -i "*.z64"; rm *.z64; done
[12:22] <shoeunited> Well not made, more like modified your code. hehe
[12:22] <amien> hlo
[12:23] <Swian> Hey, ubuntu 8.04 all my menus are gone
[12:23] <BigMike> anyone got a goo url on how to repair grub
[12:23] <Swian> anyone have a clue how to get them back
[12:23] <shoeunited> For some reason, the zip command refused to remember what you told it "j" represented.
[12:23] <Swian> no applications, system, etc
[12:23] <icqnumber> Waleed, and what does lspci tells you about your video card?
[12:23] <daredevilthere> BigMike: Do u want to repalir grub
[12:23] <daredevilthere> ?
[12:23] <daredevilthere> BigMike:  Run the live cd
[12:23] <shoeunited> And when the files included spaces and unusual characters, I figured that maybe messing with a wildcard could work.
[12:23] <BigMike> yes it stopped workn i go right into windows vista now]
[12:24] <rww> Swian: do you still have a panel?
[12:24] <Swian> nope
[12:24] <BigMike> ok then use grub install commads?
[12:24] <rww> Swian: desktop icons?
[12:24] <Waleed> No proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
[12:24] <Swian> yeah
[12:24] <Swian> that's how I got Xchat running
[12:24] <daredevilthere> BigMike: yap
[12:24] <rww> Swian: does Alt-F2 bring up a "Run Application" window?
[12:24] <shoeunited> I'm thinking it got tripped up somewhere around i%%.7z  but I have no idea what that means. lol
[12:24] <daredevilthere> BigMike:  type sudo grub
[12:25] <Swian> nope
[12:25] <BigMike> ok sounds good it will install the grub loader and  i will get my old menu,lst working again?
[12:25] <rww> Swian: hrm. Okay, use your desktop icons to open /usr/bin/gnome-panel and see if that gets you a panel.
[12:25] <daredevilthere> How to change the default media player using update-alternatives command
[12:26] <Swian> wtf
[12:26] <Swian> they all just came back
[12:26] <icqnumber> palomer, have you tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:26] <Swian> menus and such
[12:26] <Swian> my hd sounds like its spinning a lot
[12:26] <Swian> lemme see what disk activity is like
[12:26] <Waleed> icqnumber, what is lspci?
[12:26] <rww> daredevilthere: System > Preferences > Preferred Applications > Multimedia. As far as I know, you don't do it with update-alternatives.
[12:27] <unop> shoeunited, ${i%%.7z}  just removes the .7z extension from $i
[12:27] <shoeunited> Ohhh.
[12:27] <unop> shoeunited, so, do you have a working solution now?
[12:27] <icqnumber> Waleed, type "man lspci" without " in terminal
[12:27] <daredevilthere> rww:  becouse i use terminal  much
[12:28] <shoeunited> unop: Yes I do thank you.  Though now I'm spurned to figure out an ultimate solution so I can make a nautilus app. :)  Thank you so very much.  fixing 8 archives is way better than 400.  lol
[12:28] <daredevilthere> Can i view pictures in terminal .cacaview shows ascii image
[12:29] <unop> shoeunited, well, if you can take the 8 problematic archives out into a seperate folder and run that after   set -x   and put the output on a pastebin for me to see, i might be able to see exactly what is happening.
[12:30] <Waleed> icqnumber, a lot of info !! what exactly should i get there ?
[12:31] <shoeunited> unop: the problem lays in the fact that the line that adds the files to the zip archive doesn't remember what 7z uncompresses.  When I get done with these files, I'll do that though. :)
[12:31] <Swian> ok, I can hear my hd activity and I cannot open Xsensors or htop
[12:31] <Swian> any other way to see disk activity?
[12:32] <rww> Swian: System > Administration > System Monitor ?
[12:32] <icqnumber> Waleed, type "lspci | grep VGA" what card you are using
[12:32] <Swian> yeah, but that doesn't show disk
[12:32] <Swian> memory, cpu, network
[12:32] <nsadmin> open the drive?
[12:32] <rww> Swian: yeah, I just realized that. Hmm.
[12:32] <icqnumber> Waleed, type "lspci | grep VGA" to find out what card you are using
[12:32] <Swian> wonder why those two apps won't run
[12:32] <Swian> everything else seems to

[12:36] <ziroday> zenmaster: okay, do you have build-essential installed?
[12:36] <Bartoloni> ok :) hi to everyone, goodbye
[12:36] <yanz> Yeah, I cannot seem to get wireless working... Anyt ips?
[12:36] <yanz> tips?
[12:36] <shoeunited> sorry wobblywu.
[12:36] <ziroday> yanz: your wireless card?
[12:36] <zenmaster> ziroday:not sure let me check one minute
[12:37] <daredevilthere> Does , Removing symbolic link  removes actuall file
[12:37] <KFCisNOTforME> yanz the best tip for wireless is just don't use it, get wired and stay safe:) P.S wheres my coffee
[12:37] <bakasensei> ok, here's something a little more serious: anyone with an xps m1530 tell me if they managed to ever get ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 working with the alps touchpad, and also, was their install incredibly sluggish when many compiz fusion features were turned on in the compiz manager?
[12:37] <rww> !coffee | KFCisNOTforME: here. Now stay on-topic :P
[12:37] <yanz> I have built in wireless
[12:37] <elkbuntu> lolwutbot, you or your master may like to remove yourself from this channel. untested/unapproved bots are not welcome here.
[12:38] <ziroday> yanz: what wireless card do you have?
[12:38] <yanz> athero or something.
[12:38] <rww> elkbuntu: looks like Bartoloni is his master, and he's left the channel already
[12:38] <mchelen> how do you find the network connection speed from a command line?
[12:38] <ziroday> yanz: okay, can you pastebin the output of the command lspci please
[12:38] <unop> shoeunited,   maybe this.   for i in *.7z; do j="${i%%.7z}";  mkdir -p "$j"; (cd "$j" && p7zip -d ../"$i" && zip -r "$j" * && mv "$j".zip ../); rm -r "$j"/; done

[12:39] <KFCisNOTforME> well thanks for the coffee, take it easy guys and the tip is on the table :)
[12:39] <bakasensei> i guess noone here uses ubuntu on xps m1530 then
[12:39] <shoeunited> unop: Whoa. I'll give that a shot.  :)
[12:39] <ziroday> yanz: could you please try a different site, that is erroring out for me over here

[12:40] <mchelen> Boohbah, its for the internal network
[12:40] <jrib> shoeunited: make sure you don't have a file named ".7z" probably
[12:40] <mchelen> Boohbah, just want to see if it is at 100mbps or 10mpbs
[12:41] <Boohbah> mchelen: hmm, maybe http://freshmeat.net/projects/netio/
[12:41] <zenmaster> ziroday:It says I have to edit the current Mesa configuration file, in the source directory Mesa/configs/ overwrite the current file with a copy of linux-x86-64-static
[12:42] <phretor> hi there!
[12:42] <jrib> daredevilthere: in framebuffer you mean?
[12:42] <mchelen> Boohbah, there is some way to do it in the standard os :)
[12:42] <ziroday> zenmaster: erm can you pastebin the exact error please
[12:42] <Kunin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019619  <-- this is very close to my problems... anyone know how to fix it?
[12:42] <Kunin> difference being, NOTHING fixes mine
[12:42] <ziroday> yanz: you have a AR242x wireless card
[12:42] <ziroday> yanz: are you running ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04?
[12:43] <yanz> 8.10
[12:43] <Boohbah> Kunin: if nothing fixes your problem then it is by definition not fixable
[12:43] <jrib> Kunin: did the keyboard work ok in hardy?
[12:43] <shoeunited> unop: It might take me a minute or two.  The file viewer is suffering a little bit of lag.  lol
[12:43] <Kunin> boohobah: You're so helpful
[12:44] <kapipi> I am trying to make public key auth work, but I'm missing something. I have used ssh-keygen and copied the pubkey to the remote hosts authorized keys file, but when i do ssh host, I am asked for password not the key passphrase. Any ideas?
[12:44] <rere> 5f4wev
[12:44] <rere> tijy
[12:44] <Kunin> jrib: yes, worked fine in Hardy, works fine if I have intrepid live CD in... works fine at login screen with normal boot up, but once I'm logged in it's all crap
[12:44] <ziroday> yanz: okay, one sec
[12:44] <yanz> Ok Thanks
[12:44] <zenmaster> ziroday:do you know where i can find this file linux-x86-64-static so i can cp in the directory and show you the error.
[12:44] <jrib> Kunin: I see.  Create a new user and see if it still happens
[12:44] <mchelen> kapipi, load the certificate with ssh-add
[12:45] <ziroday> zenmaster: no I don't sorry. Can you just pastebin what you have currently?
[12:45] <Waleed> icqnumber, how do i know which model to install ??
[12:45] <mchelen> kapipi, or specificy it with ssh -i ~/.ssh/privatekey user@host
[12:45] <Waleed> i found many models in that page
[12:45] <jrib> kapipi: check permissions

[12:45] <kapipi> mchelen: so i need to specifi the identity file? shouldnt it be possible to just do ssh host and have it ask for key passphrase?
[12:46] <ziroday> yanz: try install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
[12:46] <unop> kapipi, you could also  use the -v option to ssh to make it verbose - it might expose the problem
[12:46] <mchelen> kapipi, you can either specify the path or use ssh-add
[12:46] <yanz> Ok on moment
[12:46] <Tekno> http://www.pastebin.ca/1303440 <- can I remove any of these ?
[12:46] <mchelen> kapipi, there is also a gui if you prefer
[12:46] <jrib> kapipi: it should look at ~/.ssh/id_rsa by default, but what mchelen has suggested is a good starting point to troubleshoot your issue
[12:46] <Kunin> jrib: was next on my things to try... it works fine with a new user...
[12:47] <Kunin> jrib: so the question is... what does the new user have that I have fscked up?
[12:47] <icqnumber> Waleed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome maybe this will be interesting for you too, and try to ask other people here how to set up your  chrome pro card, or google for detailed instruction for ubuntu, because i do not know and have never used it
[12:47] <kapipi> mchelen: no i prefer cli.. but I have had it working previously, never used ssh-add or -i, wonder why I need it now
[12:47] <mchelen> kapipi, use "ssh-add -l" to see what certs are loaded
[12:47] <jrib> Kunin: just some gconf settings then.  I'd guess ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/
[12:48] <shoeunited> unop: That's the perfect solution. :D
[12:48] <unop> shoeunited, :)

[12:49] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[12:49] <Kunin> jrib: Not something I'm familiar with... browsed to /keyboard (safe bet), what should I be looking for?
[12:49] <silv3r_m00n> how can i reduce the size of icons in openoffice.org toolbar
[12:49] <silv3r_m00n> ?
[12:49] <mchelen> is there anyway to see if my network is connected at 100baseT or 10baseT (100mpbs or 10mbps) from the command line?
[12:49] <unop> shoeunited, not a problem - it keeps me sharp :)
[12:50] <jrib> Kunin: nothing, you are just resetting everything in gconf there.  You can either delete it and logout and log back in or use gconftool-2 to do it properly
[12:50] <wiehan> I have trouble accessing the boxee repositories
[12:50] <Kunin> jrib: Ok, so log back in as my main account, then do gconftool-2?
[12:51] <rww> silv3r_m00n: try asking in #openoffice.org if you don't get an answer here.
[12:51] <yanz> ziroday: finished
[12:51] <silv3r_m00n> rww: thanks
[12:51] <shoeunited> unop: Well, it works even faster than my hack and slash attempt @ your coding. hehe  So, 100x thank you.  :) *makes some cookies for unop*  I bake better than I OS.

[12:53] <unop> !cz
[12:53] <jrib> Kunin: no, there's more to it.  This should do what you want: gconftool --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard         You may still need to logout, not sure
[12:54] <ackbahr> Hi! I want to make the "hibernate" script executable by a non-root user. How do I do this?

[12:55] <ziroday> ackbahr: well you could do chmod ugo+x <scriptlocation> but that may pose a security risk
[12:55] <ackbahr> ziroday: As all +x change may.... Thank you very much!
[12:55] <rww> jrib: that was Polish ;)
[12:56] <jrib> rww: indeed, got confused :)
[12:56] <yanz> Ok. What was meant to happen? ziroday
[12:56] <ackbahr> ziroday: It's not working.... Is it not /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh ?
[12:56] <ziroday> yanz: well can you use your wireless with network manager now?
[12:56] <ziroday> ackbahr: I don't know sorry. Try look in pm-utils
[12:57] <yanz> I have network Config but not network manager.
[12:57] <ziroday> yanz: its a little icon with two computers in the top right corneer
[12:57] <unop> ackbahr, is most probably /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate

[12:57] <unop> ackbahr, which needs superuser privileges anyway.
[12:57] <yanz> It says auto eth0  Auto Ethernet
[12:57] <ackbahr> unop: Can I remove these?
[12:58] <Kunin> jrib: without sounding gay... I love you
[12:58] <ziroday> zenmaster: erm, is there even a configure script in that directory?
[12:58] <unop> ackbahr, errm, i wouldn't do that - why would you?
[12:58] <mchelen> kapipi, sure thing good luck, found certs sometimes get loaded automatically sometimes not
[12:58] <ackbahr> unop: Because it's better than giving someone my password
[12:58] <Kunin> jrib: I've been screaming at this thing for 4 hours now... now it all seems to work again!  And thanks (earlier) for helping me get the MX Revo working too
[12:58] <shavin> doen anybody else alos feel that battery runs out fast on ubuntu?
[12:58] <jrib> Kunin: no problem
[12:59] <ackbahr> shavin: You bet!
[12:59] <unop> ackbahr, doesn't gnome-power-manager work for you?
[12:59] <ackbahr> unop: Console mode
[12:59] <shavin> i am compaq 6710b
[12:59] <zenmaster> ziroday:not directly, but in a subdirectory of the parent
[12:59] <ziroday> shavin: you can use powertop to see how to lower your batter usage
[12:59] <ackbahr> unop: I'm stopping gdm
[12:59] <unop> ackbahr, setup sudo to not ask for a password for this then
[12:59] <zenmaster> ziroday:i dont know why its telling me to do that. its right on the W3C's website
[12:59] <Kunin> jrib: Since you have this mouse too... is there anyway to program the buttons to act differently based off the active program?
[12:59] <shavin> I have ubuntu on my pen drive and vista on hard disk. vista uses battery very opyimaly.
[13:00] <shavin> optimaly
[13:00] <yanz> ziroday: It just said Ethernet eth0
[13:00] <ackbahr> unop: Ah, that's a good solution... How do I do this?
[13:00] <ziroday> zenmaster: well bash disagrees. Can you pastebin the output of ls -l in that directory
[13:00] <zenmaster> ziroday:http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Autoconf.html
[13:00] <ziroday> yanz: okay, it didn't work then.
[13:00] <shavin> ziroday: i can find it in synaptic?
[13:00] <ziroday> shavin: yes
[13:00] <unop> ackbahr,  man 5 sudoers

[13:02] <wookie_> I am proud so say that today i went windows free. I am running ubuntu 8.10. I am trying to mount my NAS device drives so i can get all my data back! i have tried a few commands but i keep getting a "bad fs" type erorr. anyone able to help
[13:03] <ziroday> wookie_: how are you NAS drives hosted? Samba?
[13:03] <ackbahr> unop: Ok, I'll try that sometime. Thanks again, have a nice TimeOfDay!
[13:03] <wookie_> ziroday: i am 90% sure they are
[13:03] <unop> wookie_, can nautilus find your NAS device in the network?
[13:03] <ziroday> wookie_: okay, well you can see them with through Places > Network
[13:04] <ziroday> zenmaster: you need to find the configure file, its not in that directory
[13:04] <wookie_> current in fstab im using //server/directory /media/fpt cifs username=xxx,password-xxx 0 0"
[13:04] <Kunin> ok.. .Intrepid (upgraded from Hardy) Wine is all jacked up, can't read anything (random black spots over all letters)... fix?
[13:04] <shavin> i always get this when i install something. what does this mean? E: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17
[13:04] <wookie_> ziroday: i ca see them but i cant see a commmand to mount them at boot
[13:04] <zenmaster> ziroday:whats a command for searching for a file within directories?
[13:04] <b_tard> is it possible to install ubuntu as encrypted and hidden OS?
[13:05] <unop> zenmaster, find /somewhere -iname "*pattern*"
[13:05] <shavin> ziroday: i installed powertop. how do i use it? is it gui or console?
[13:05] <zenmaster> unop:thanks
[13:05] <ziroday> zenmaster: you can do ls -lR | grep <filename>
[13:05] <ziroday> shavin: it runs in the console
[13:05] <unop> wookie_,   have you tried the mount command rather than the fstab?
[13:05] <wookie_> yup
[13:06] <NET||abuse> hmm, i'm running outa space on my /home partition, but my root partition is 60GB and only using 4 of that.. is there a sensible place to create an auxiliary /home2/ directory or something to add extra storage for a while? I need to take some dvd iso's to an office on the laptop tonight and i'll be stuck for space.
[13:06] <unop> wookie_, same problem?
[13:06] <ziroday> wookie_: tried install smbfs?
[13:06] <jrib> NET||abuse: just create /storage and use it.  It doesn't really matter what you call it
[13:06] <aarklon> new ubuntu search engine http://www.googlubuntu.com/
[13:07] <Isvara> Wow. Are they looking to get sued?
[13:07] <jaapvisser> funky stuff aarklon
[13:08] <Boohbah> Isvara: sued for what?
[13:08] <unop> Isvara, it's just another Google Custom Search Engine - www.google.com/cse
[13:08] <Isvara> For their derivative logo, for a start.
[13:09] <Kunin> After upgrade to Intrepid: When I go to use any of the wine applications I can't make out what the words are saying in the windows as they are all in jiberish and totally unreadable.  My guess is just purge/reinstall wine... anyone know if this will work?
[13:09] <rww> !ot
[13:09] <shavin> would it be  agood idea to set usb to autosuspend when i am running ubuntu installed on the usb pen drive?
[13:09] <unop> shavin, i'd be surprised if that was allowed to work
[13:09] <wookie_> ziroday: thanks, downloaded it. .looks better but i get a permission denied when i try and access the /media/ftp firectory
[13:10] <unop> wookie_, but was the directory mounted ok tho?
[13:10] <wookie_> yup, looks like it
[13:10] <daredevilthere> how to i start ubuntu without knowing wht ubuntu is loading
[13:10] <ziroday> wookie_: try doing sudo chmod ugo=rwx /media/ftp
[13:10] <ziroday> daredevilthere: please rephrase your question
[13:10] <unop> ziroday, that shouldn't work
[13:11] <ziroday> unop: why?
[13:11] <wookie_> ziroday: permission denied, ls -la gives me libuuid as owner
[13:11] <unop> ziroday, because it would try to affect the remote filesystem
[13:11] <unop> zenmaster, can you keep it in herre please
[13:11] <unop> ?
[13:12] <kapipi> mchelen: I will get back later to this problem, right now I have spent too much of the day staring at it to the point of getting a headache (or maybe the headache is unrelated), but thanks for helping :-D
[13:12] <ziroday> wookie_: try unmounting it then do it again
[13:12] <zenmaster> it was to long
[13:13] <unop> wookie_,  try adding the uid=$UID,gid=$UID  options
[13:15] <b_tard> i really want to install ubuntu as hidden OS
[13:15] <Tekno> what does that mean
[13:15] <wookie_> unop, airoday will do. when unmounted the directory is owned by root, but when mounted it is owned by libuuid
[13:15] <zenmaster> unop: did you read what i sent you?
[13:15] <unop> zenmaster, not really - i don't have pms enabled.
[13:16] <b_tard> encrypted but so that it does not even show up as encrypted volume
[13:16] <unop> wookie_, that's not surprising -- which is why you need to use the uid and gid options .. see   man  mount.cifs  for more on them
[13:16] <zenmaster> unop:dam well i cant figure this thing out and its driving me crazy cause it seems like such a simple task
[13:16] <unop> zenmaster, what are you trying to do?
[13:17] <zenmaster> unop:install amaya by source debian/ubuntu repositories arent up to date
[13:18] <unop> zenmaster, ok - and what are you having trouble with?
[13:19] <zenmaster> unop:amaya help page says to config mesa for 64bit systems which mine is
[13:19] <zenmaster> unop:it says to cp a file that doesnt exist to its directory
[13:20] <OriWB> my Internet stops working after about 30 min. but I stay "connected". How can I keep my internet working?
[13:21] <zenmaster> unop:linux-x86-64-static is supposed to be somewhere although i guess its not included with the tarbell gunzip folder like it should be
[13:21] <wookie_> unop, thanks. done

[13:23] <fredl> hi folks, is there a way to use a laptop's keyboard and mouse as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse for a mediapc (eg. server) ?
[13:23] <zenmaster> unop:would it help if i gave you the w3c link?

[13:24] <nsadmin> _spm_Draget: if people know about a problem it will be in the bug tracking system
[13:24] <fredl> I have this media server hooked up to my TV in my livingroom but I need to keep a keyboard/mouse connected to it now to use it and would like to get rid of those as they clutter up my AV equipment.
[13:25] <OriWB> My wireless internet stops working suddenly even though I am still connected to the network. can somebody help?
[13:25] <adam7> fredl: it's called synergy
[13:25] <fredl> OriWB - did you recently upgrade to Ibex?
[13:25] <fredl> adam7 - explain more please?
[13:25] <wookie_> im trying to mount a windows share with a space in it, ie "my docs" what escape character do i use?
[13:25] <OriWB> fred1: no, I got the laptopith it
[13:25] <OriWB> *with it
[13:25] <adam7> fredl: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ -- find the synergy package
[13:26] <sonoblaise> nsadmin:  sorry :)  I used ajunta for a while and then I installed the source libs to work with GTK...  I started a new test project and now, when I try to open ajunta, it freezes and I must kill it... after that I can't even get the splash screen until I reboot... I have a few apps that crash with ubuntu on my computer... never tested on other boxes
[13:26] <adam7> you'll have to do a little configuring, but it's not too bad
[13:26] <fredl> tnx adam7, I'll read through it. I've been googling already but most things google finds are all about how to hook up a standalone bluetooth keyboard.
[13:26] <adam7> fredl: there is a synergy package in the package manager
[13:27] <adam7> fredl: ah, though synergy requires wifi
[13:27] <adam7> or some type of network connection
[13:27] <gogereaver> fredl you can use some network tools to use it over your medaboxes lan
[13:27] <Kunin> adam7: If you remember my screwy keyboard issue from before, jrib figured it out... apparently something was messed up in my gconf settings, clearing it fixed it all!
[13:27] <adam7> Kunin: ok, good to know
[13:27] <fredl> adam7 - well that should be no problem either as I have a wifi connection here in the livingroom.
[13:28] <adam7> fredl: if you've ever used multidisplay configuration, it works similar, you can move the mouse off of one screen and onto the next
[13:28] <nnull> why is the inputbox for remote desktop limited to a 8char string?.. seem's silly.. as anything that small is rather crackable?...
[13:28] <jrib> Kunin: imwheel regarding your question about mouse bindings specific to programs
[13:28] <Kunin> jrib sweet, I'll check it out in the morning, thanks again!
[13:29] <jrib> Kunin: try just 'mv ~/.wine/ ~/.wine.old' for your other issue.  You'll have to reinstall everything though.  Check bugs.ubuntu.com
[13:29] <fredl> adam7 - installing the quicksynergy package as we speak...
[13:29] <OriWB> fred1: I got the laptop with it.
[13:30] <wookie_> how do i escape a space when connecting to a windows share, the share is "my docs" using mount command?
[13:30] <b_tard> where can I chat about truecrypt?
[13:30] <OriWB> fredl: I got the laptop with it
[13:30] <fredl> adam7 - I assume I have to install some sort of synergy server as well?
[13:30] <adam7> fredl: sounds good -- I didn't even know about that package :)
[13:30] <adam7> fredl: you'll need it on both computers
[13:30] <nsadmin> wookie_: you just answered your own question
[13:30] <fredl> I see. Hang on.
[13:31] <zizo> hellow

[13:31] <fredl> OriWB - do you have an Intel wifi card by any chance?
[13:32] <zoed> !hi| zizo
[13:32] <zizo> so no one feeling hard about me
[13:32] <OriWB> fredl: i think I do. How do I check
[13:32] <OriWB> fredl: ?
[13:32] <zizo> hi who welcomed me
[13:32] <fredl> OriWB - try typing the command 'lsmod|grep iwl3945'
[13:32] <wookie_> . //<IP_ADDRESS>/"my docs" /media/mydocs <- doesnt work when in fstab
[13:33] <adam7> wookienz: he asked about the mount command though
[13:33] <OriWB> fredl: nothing happenned
[13:34] <x_dimitri> when i save a webpage in firefox and open it locally, the stylesheets are not used. Does anyone know what this happens?
[13:34] <fredl> OriWB - hmm. Well I have the Intel wifi card and also get network drops since I installed Ibex. Don't know if that's been reported as a bug on ubuntu already but I also read posts about it on the network manager list....
[13:34] <wookienz> adam7: works with mount but not in fstab
[13:34] <adam7> wookienz: right
[13:34] <wookienz> how do i use it for fstab, any ideas?
[13:35] <OriWB> fredl: tell me if you understand this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3314484

[13:35] <fredl> OriWB - yeah I understand that but I don't think it has anything to do with your problems.
[13:36] <nagchampa> is making a swapfile in ubuntu (as opposed to useing a swap partition) the standard affair, create file, add entry to fstab ?
[13:36] <linduxed> ive got a pendrive installation made with the intrepid usb creator, and i wanted to have my nvidia card reognized, so i booted up the usb, went to restricted drivers and activated the nvidia driver. after completion it askd me to reboot so i did however i was greeted with no fancy graphics at all...apparently nvidia wasnt loaded as driver
[13:36] <wookienz> adam7, nope - no go
[13:36] <linduxed> however i do believe its installed since ive got the nvidia-settings

[13:38] <eMaX> hi all, anyone here can help w/ a charset problem mounting samba shares under ubuntu? xp clients that created filesnames with accents there can see these filenames correctly; linux clients see "?" for all special characters. I've tried isocharset=utf8,codepage=cp850 etc. but that didnt help
[13:38] <linduxed> zoed, i know that killing the x-session will make the trick but im wondering if i could have the hardware detection pick he nvidia driver since its installed
[13:38] <fredl> adam7 - hmm, not quite as straightforward as I had hoped :) I think I need to go RTFM some docs for synergy :)

[13:40] <wookienz> next! - anyone suggest an ituens alternate for ubuntu>?
[13:40] <SlimeyPete> "ituens"? What's that?
[13:40] <amijai> I want to re-format it but I do not know how to find out what is the device to use
[13:40] <eddos> rythembox
[13:40] <SlimeyPete> oh
[13:40] <Gnea> wookienz: rhythmbox
[13:40] <fredl> adam7 - oh this is interesting "Run  the  server  on the computer that has the keyboard and mouse to be

[13:40] <SlimeyPete> rhythmbox, amarok
[13:40] <nnull> why is the inputbox for remote desktop limited to a 8char string?.. seem's silly.. as anything that small is rather crackable?...
[13:41] <fredl> thats kind of unexpected, but oh well.
[13:41] <gogereaver> fredl synergy does that well and uses lan or wifi
[13:42] <fredl> so.... if I understand that right, I need to run synergys on my laptop....
[13:42] <AnAnt> Anyone knows what 8.04.2 will be released ?
[13:42] <gogereaver> fredl on both systems

[13:42] <fredl> gogereaver - oh... ok....
[13:43] <daredevilthere> Does anyone knw how to configure /etc/security/access.conf
[13:43] <wookienz> what about apps for the iphone, rythmbox do that?

[13:43] <nagchampa> if i install ubuntu without a swap partition, to add a swap file later, will anything in particular not get installed?
[13:44] <^aDaM> Afternoon all.
[13:44] <nagchampa> such as hibernation support?
[13:44] <Gnea> wookienz: no.
[13:44] <Gracenotes> is there a command to run a given command a certain number of times?
[13:44] <Gracenotes> e.g. runntimes 100 <command>
[13:44] <gogereaver> nagchampa it would work fine but you wwould be relying soly on your ram
[13:44] <piksi> Gracenotes: shellscripting
[13:44] <Gnea> nagchampa: nope, but a swap partition performs better than a swapfile does
[13:44] <nagchampa> gogereaver: i'll be adding a swap file once it's done
[13:44] <Gracenotes> piksi: ah, okay. A for loop will do then
[13:44] <gogereaver> nagchampa thats kinda a wast
[13:44] <neutrinomass> Hello. I've got a VirtualBox installation of XP and whenever I try to use the arrows (with input capture) in say a text editor, they don't work as expected: Instead of going down a line in the text editor, it somehow loses focus and opens the start menu
[13:44] <nagchampa> Gnea: under the new kernels, a swap file has just as good performance as a partition
[13:45] <gogereaver> nagchampa why bother with the extra step
[13:45] <fredl> gogereaver - and the server is the only one that should be in the 'links' section in synergy.conf? or should my laptop also be in there?
[13:45] <OriWB> My Wireless internet stops working even though it says I'm still connected. Can somebody help?
[13:45] <Gnea> nagchampa: i missed that one, did they discuss it on LMKL?
[13:45] <neutrinomass> I've got no idea if it's even a virtualbox problem so any help would be appreciated
[13:45] <nagchampa> gogereaver: because i'd prefer to leave my partition table alone as much as possible for now :)
[13:45] <gogereaver> fredl both should be
[13:45] <nagchampa> i've got a spare partition, which i'd like to keep in one piece, i'll just format it as something else (jfs probably)
[13:45] <amijai> can anyone tell me how to find out the device for a USB stick?
[13:45] <Pici> neutrinomass: Have you tried asking in #vbox as well?
[13:46] <gogereaver> nagchampa well you  can do the wubi install and not bother the partation at all if your running windows
[13:46] <fredl> gogereaver - okay, I think I'm getting this....
[13:46] <neutrinomass> Pici: oh, sorry - I didn't think it could exist. I'll try there first.

[13:58] <Musikanten> im so lost !!! srsly. i have noe ide. about any devices. do u mean hardware or software? and prob is i'm not on  linux atm, have windows and linux on same hdd.
[13:58] <Pici> !who
[13:59] <Gnea> !restricted | Musikanten
[13:59] <orgthingy> hi, is "service" command an alias or link to some program or is it a program itself?
[13:59] <fredl> Hmm, synergy is nice.....
[13:59] <orgthingy> and if it's a program itself, where can I get the source?
[13:59] <Pici> remoteCTR1: What does `uname -m` say?
[13:59] <nagchampa> wrong one Gnea
[13:59] <fredl> but I think it's also a bit of overkill for what I initially asked.
[13:59] <Gnea> orgthingy: where do you see it?
[14:00] <ubuntu> hi
[14:00] <nagchampa> Musikanten: can you connect via ethernet from within ubuntu for now?
[14:00] <remoteCTR1> Pici: nice one!:) says x86_64
[14:00] <fredl> Also, I had hoped to be able to use my laptop as a bluetooth keyboard for my PS3 as well.
[14:00] <Gnea> nagchampa: pardon?
[14:00] <orgthingy> Gnea : for example "service tor stop"
[14:00] <remoteCTR1> pici: thanks mate:)
[14:00] <Musikanten> i cant. cuz unbuntu cant see my network card.
[14:00] <orgthingy> Gnea : i use debian, but im interested in making debian version if it's a program
[14:00] <Gnea> orgthingy: then i'm sure you are familiar with the sysV system
[14:00] <Pici> orgthingy: Its in the sysvinit-utils package. But its just a shell script. Try: less `which service`
[14:01] <nagchampa> Gnea: Musikanten is interested in getting his wireless working, not restricted formats
[14:01] <oCean_> Musikanten: pls run command "/sbin/ifconfig -a" to see whether your system sees any networking devices
[14:01] <Jim_Raynor> hi
[14:01] <orgthingy> Pici : I see, thanks
[14:01] <orgthingy> you too, Gnea, thanks
[14:01] <extern> when I try to run glxinfo, fglrxinfo, glxgears, etc... I get "../../src/xcb_io.c:352: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed." I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and installed ATI 8.12 drivers
[14:01] <Musikanten> nagchampa: and i'm not on laptop.
[14:02] <Gnea> nagchampa: ah, my mistake
[14:02] <Eber> is it possible to fake domains like it is in windows with the hosts file?!?
[14:02] <Jim_Raynor> Which replacement for F-Spot do you suggest?
[14:02] <Eber> i mean, to work locally?
[14:02] <Gnea> Eber: yes
[14:02] <Eber> Gnea: how?
[14:02] <diablo_vortex> ok now one question please --i need to open several terminal windows at the same time to a box which i connect through another box,, for eg i ssh to jumpbox then i ssh to the destination box
[14:02] <ubuntu> how is it possible that I can chat here but I can not surf any web pagte
[14:02] <diablo_vortex> i need to open like 13 windows
[14:03] <ubuntu> I'm desperate!
[14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Jim_Raynor, try gphoto2
[14:03] <theos2>  i added this and it's asking me for GPG key : sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list how can i delete this repository
[14:03] <oCean_> Musikanten: also try running "dpkg -l | grep restrict" to see whether restricted packages are installed. Drivers for some hardwarecomponents may be in a modules package which is "restricted"
[14:03] <Pici> Eber: Modify your /etc/hosts file.  See man hosts for the syntax
[14:03] <Eber> Pici: tks dude :)
[14:03] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu type ip of .. say..google into your browser
[14:03] <scizzo-> ubuntu: well you need to say what exactly happens when you try to surf
[14:04] <gcbirzan> What do I need to do to allow a user to change the printer settings?
[14:04] <Musikanten> okey. i will try that. brb ;)
[14:04] <Jim_Raynor> Thanks, Jack_Sparrow
[14:05] <diablo_vortex> any bodyu using the gnome gui for ununto
[14:05] <worldcitizen> Jim Raynor meets Jack Sparrow? Oh lawds
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu type        <IP_ADDRESS>              where you would type an address
[14:05] <snak1> hello all
[14:06] <diablo_vortex> Jack_Sparrow, hi jack
[14:06] <theos2> is medibuntu repository good for ubuntu?
[14:06] <ReAn> anyone know a linux program that's pretty standard and has a retardedly complex --help ?
[14:06] <mphill> theos2: very good
[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow> theos2, Yes.. safe and good
[14:06] <diablo_vortex> ok now one question please --i need to open several terminal windows at the same time to a box which i connect through another box,, for eg i ssh to jumpbox then i ssh to the destination box
[14:07] <Jim_Raynor> ok, gphoto2 seems to be not exactly what I was looking for
[14:07] <gcbirzan> ReAn: ls?
[14:07] <Pici> diablo_vortex: Can you rephrase that? I'm not sure what the question is.
[14:07] <theos2> i added medibuntu and it's asking me for GPG key : sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list how can i delete this repository?
[14:07] <Jim_Raynor> I was looking for something like F-Spot, a photo manager...
[14:07] <snak1> why ubuntu is not distributed in DVD medias just like fedora with full devel stuff
[14:07] <gogereaver> Jim_Rayno gimp
[14:07] <Jim_Raynor> something like Picasa
[14:07] <Jim_Raynor> no, not an editor... a manager
[14:07] <mphill> snak1: that's ubuntu's awesomeness, just one cd has you functional
[14:07] <Jim_Raynor> btw, I love Gimp
[14:07] <OriWB> I have a good wireless internet connection but occasionally I lose internet even though I'm still connected. Can  someone help me?
[14:08] <scizzo-> Jim_Raynor: gthumb?
[14:08] <Jim_Raynor> gonna install it
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Jim_Raynor, that is why we try to avoid polls about software..
[14:08] <fasta> snak1: it is also being distributed on DVD>
[14:08] <scizzo-> Jim_Raynor: why not use eog and gimp
[14:08] <snak1> but you must wait for hug downloads
[14:08] <theos2> mphil did u see my statement
[14:08] <scizzo-> Jim_Raynor: or gthumb
[14:08] <Pici> snak1: A DVD version is available as well.
[14:08] <nagchampa> Jim_Raynor: check out digiKam
[14:08] <MOUD> I'm using synaptic package manager, I think it's working, it's downloading :)
[14:09] <piksi> snak1: where could i download some hugs?
[14:09] <snak1> i cant find a DVD ubuntu in ubuntu.com
[14:09] <Pici> !dvdiso | snak1
[14:09] <wib1> hi. i connected a fat32 usb disk drive to my computer. all files are owned by root, bus even as root i can't write on the disk. also, i tried to put the drive in fstab, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
[14:09] <Jim_Raynor> no issue, Jack_Sparrow; it's always good to know about new software
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> wib1, it will mount read only if it sees a problem or had an unclean umount
[14:10] <Jim_Raynor> gthumb seems like a candidate
[14:10] <theos2> i added medibuntu and it's asking me for GPG key : sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list how can i delete this repository?
[14:10] <diablo_vortex> Pici, thanks mate,, i want to open 13 terminal windows in my gnome
[14:10] <MOUD> can I run kbounce games on gnome?
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !medibuntu
[14:10] <wib1> Jack_Sparrow: where can i check what causes the problem?
[14:11] <diablo_vortex> Pici, and the 13 terminals are like ssh to jumpbox and then from the jumpbox do another ssh to desticnation box
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, kde  games should be no problem in gnome
[14:11] <snak1> thanks ubottu, now i can do fedora->ubuntu
[14:11] <diablo_vortex> Pici, thats wht i need to do ,, otherwise i have to open terminals for each one seprately one by one which takes ages
[14:11] <OriWB> I have a good wireless internet connection but occasionally I lose internet even though I'm still connected. Can someone help me?
[14:12] <MOUD> Jack_Sparrow: I installed it yesterday but I cannot find them, do you know where they could be?
[14:12] <ubuntu> scizzo- I cant even ping
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> wib1, put the flash back into windows and remove properly twice  or force the ount
[14:12] <scizzo-> ubuntu: well what about pinging the IP?
[14:12] <Pici> diablo_vortex: hotssh might be good for what you're trying to do.  It has tabs.
[14:12] <wib1> Jack_Sparrow: i don't have windows
[14:13] <theos2> i added medibuntu and it's asking me for GPG key : sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list how can i delete this repository?
[14:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, try running from a terminal manually.  I thought we discussed this yesterday.. create your own launcher
[14:13] <ech0s7> hi
[14:13] <Jack_Sparrow> wib1, ok, force mount it is.
[14:13] <ech0s7> what is your best record with gtkperf ? on my notebook i do Total time:  4,67  ( http://rafb.net/p/IoBq0K81.html )
[14:13] <diablo_vortex> Pici, thats great i will look into it , but what about automating couple fo ssh commands like open the terminal and wolla i m directy on the destination box
[14:13] <scizzo-> ubuntu: try to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:14] <MOUD> Jack_Sparrow: My internet connection kept disconnecting yesterday so I didn't get any message :/
[14:14] <OriWB> I have a good wireless internet connection but occasionally I lose internet even though I'm still connected. Can someone help me?
[14:14] <Jack_Sparrow> wib1, Force Mount a Drive  http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/index.php/t-211958.html
[14:14] <shadfc> so an nvidia update yesterday borked my X
[14:14] <theos2> any clue?
[14:14] <ubuntu> scizzo- Yes, I can ping to that
[14:14] <Pici> diablo_vortex: You'd have to write shell scripts for that, theres no 'easy way' besides that.
[14:14] <ubuntu> scizzo- and also tu ubuntu.com
[14:15] <scizzo-> ubuntu: you have a dns problem
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> wib1, sudo mkdir /media/locked-drive then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/locked-drive -o force  substitute your locked drive for sda1            example is ntfs... see the link for fat32
[14:15] <Pici> theos2: Did you install the gpg key package for medibuntu?
[14:15] <diablo_vortex> Pici, any suggestion for that shell script
[14:15] <theos2> no pici
[14:15] <theos2> how?
[14:15] <Pici> diablo_vortex: You'd have to write it yourself.
[14:15] <ubuntu> scizzo- I think the problem is the connection speed
[14:15] <scizzo-> no
[14:15] <diablo_vortex> Pici, also the terminals here has tabs
[14:15] <scizzo-> ubuntu: its a dns problem
[14:16] <Grapefrugten> hey everybody - i have a problem when installing ubuntu on my ps3 - it keeps crashing at 15% of the install process...i read that i should try killing some processes, but how do i do that? and can i do that during the installation wizard?
[14:16] <scizzo-> ubuntu: in what way would it be the speeD?
[14:16] <Pici> theos2: The last step of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories
[14:16] <scizzo-> ubuntu: ok.....type the IP number I gave you in a webbrowser
[14:17] <ubuntu> scizzo- connecting to ubuntu.com, it says the speed is 229B/s
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> scizzo-, I tried to get him to do that same thing 100 lines back
[14:17] <scizzo-> ubuntu: ok.....type the IP number I gave you in a webbrowser
[14:18] <gogereaver> ubuntu sounds like a dns conflict
[14:18] <theos2> what updates does medibuntu do? is it helpful?
[14:18]  * scizzo- is going to continue to repeat that line until he gets a answer
[14:18] <MOUD> Jack_Sparrow: it worked, thanks for the help :)
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, np
[14:18] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, You know how to create a new launcher right
[14:18] <ubuntu> scizzo- well, that was quick!
[14:18] <dstar> Using the ATI Catalyst drivers, how do I switch from my laptop screen to an external monitor and back on the fly? I haven't been able to find anything through google...
[14:18] <scizzo-> ubuntu: it worked without problem right?
[14:19] <MOUD> Jack_Sparrow: yes I do
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, Enjoy
[14:19] <ubuntu> scizzo- rigth
[14:19] <Jim_Raynor> there was a way to go back to the previous directory using cd, what was it?
[14:19] <scizzo-> ubuntu: right.....you have a DNS lookup problem
[14:19] <theos2> does ps2 and ps3 supports operating systems?
[14:19] <Grapefrugten> i dont mean to spam, but ill just ask again, in case anybody missed my question the first time :) - i have a problem when installing ubuntu on my ps3 - it keeps crashing at 15% of the install process...i read that i should try killing some processes, but how do i do that? and can i do that during the installation wizard?
[14:19] <ubuntu> scizzo- ok, how can I fix it?
[14:20] <scizzo-> ubuntu: that depends on where the error is
[14:20] <oCean_> Jim_Raynor: "cd -"
[14:20] <scizzo-> ubuntu: are you behind a gateway or firewall?
[14:20] <Eber> if I edit /etc/hosts do I have to refresh anything on my system to make it work?
[14:20] <adaptr> no
[14:20] <scizzo-> ubuntu: you are sure the DNS servers are working as intended from the ISP?
[14:20] <theos2> >	what updates does medibuntu do? is it helpful?
[14:21] <theos2> does ps2 and ps3 supports operating systems?
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> theos2, It contains things that the official repos cant for legal reasons.
[14:21] <ubuntu> scizzo- I'm gonna ping my dns servers
[14:21] <ubuntu> scizzo- My first dns server is not working
[14:21] <mchelen> how do you find the connection speed of a network card from the command line?
[14:21] <Grapefrugten> theos2: dunno about ps2, but ps3 supports ubuntu...but its not exactly easy to install :)
[14:21] <ubuntu> scizzo- the second one is
