[09:56] <soundray> richard_: for a normal user, it would be $HOME/.Trash/ -- there are also equivalent directories on mounted filesystems
[09:57] <keito> el_taco: is it fast? I'd be doing graphically intensive vj apps
[09:57] <soundray> richard_: note, case sensitive
[09:57] <soundray> jarle__: in that case, you'll want to install the linux-headers packages.
[09:57] <richard_> soundray, Thanks
[09:57] <Borat> can someone help solve this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3149762#post3149762
[09:57] <disasm> jarle__: I think you can symlink it to something in linux-headers. I never seem to have any luck using the ubuntu kernel with custom modules so usually end up wgetting the latest source from kernel.org and compiling myself
[09:57] <lockd> unagi: any luck?
[09:58] <unagi> nope
[09:58] <unagi> says Unable for find a suitable output format for 'csi.dvr-ms'
[09:58] <el_taco> keito, I only installed it a few days ago and haven't done anything real complex except open photoshop and poke around a little. but it leaves your normal install intact so you can still dual-boot if needed.
[09:58] <Mishu> is there some command which can clear a file
[09:58] <jarle__> soundray: "linux-headers-generic is already the newest version."
[09:58] <lockd> unagi: where can i find a sample dvr-ms file?
[09:58] <Xoris> Mishu: "clear"?
[09:59] <keito> well I don't dual boot.  I'd want to install a fresh xp on the drive
[09:59] <unagi> i dunno.....do u have media center?
[09:59] <lockd> unagi: no no windows
[09:59] <Mishu> Xoris, How it clear somefile
[09:59] <Mishu> Xoris, What option i have to giv?
[09:59] <EvanCarroll> dpkg blows.
[09:59] <soundray> jarle__: then you will need to give the header location in your Makefile (instead of /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build, it will be /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/
[09:59] <keito> Mishu: what do you mean clear? delete?
[09:59] <Mishu> Xoris, I need to clear a file
[09:59] <unagi> id like to not use windows but i cant
[09:59] <Xoris> Mishu, i have no ide what you mean with "clear".
[09:59] <Mishu> keito, delete contect of file!
[10:00] <Mishu> content
[10:00] <Xoris> Mishu: try "shred" or "wipe"
[10:00] <bipolar> Does anyone know if openoffice 2.2.1 is available as a feisty backport?
[10:00] <keito> Mishu: ? rm?????
[10:00] <soundray> Xoris: I found a solution to my earlier problem...
[10:00] <unagi> ok thats interesting
[10:00] <soundray> Mishu: cat /dev/null >filetoclear
[10:00] <unagi> apparently mplayer can convert it but the resolution is wrong
[10:00] <unagi> how can i change the output resolution for mplayer
[10:00] <Xoris> soundray: won't that fill the file up until the disk is full?
[10:01] <soundray> Xoris: no. Note it's /dev/null, not /dev/zero
[10:01] <Xoris> soundray: what was it?
[10:01] <keito> soundray: /dev/zero zero-fills drive?
[10:01] <Xoris> soundray: oh, /dev/null right... never used it for input
[10:01] <ROnewbie> anyone - my programs (skype, yahoo messenger, gmail notifier, battery indicator) no longer show up in the right side of the taskbar when active. How can I fix that ?
[10:01] <Xoris> keito: if you cat it to a drive, yes. otherwise, no
[10:02] <keito> soundray: so you can zero-fill just a file then?
[10:02] <jarle__> soundray: thnx!
[10:02] <soundray> Xoris: the program depended on libfltk-dev, which also comes with a math.h. Now I was giving the wrong include path, /usr/include/FL, when I should just have given it /usr/include
[10:03] <Xoris> keito: it won't be zero filled i think, just shrunk to 0 size. if you want to make sure the data aren't accessible *by any means* anymore, use shred or wipe (which won't give you 100% security either, but anyway)
[10:03] <bipolar> ROnewbie: sounds like you might have accedently closed the notification area applet
[10:03] <soundray> keito: dd if=/dev/zero of=zerofile bs=512 count=1
[10:03] <lockd> unagi: check Wikipedia for dvr-ms
[10:03] <Xoris> soundray: "you" as in manually? you had to give the include path manually?
[10:03] <lockd> unagi: tells you what you might be able to use with a universal transcoder (ffmpeg)
[10:03] <soundray> Xoris: yes, in the cmake config. It didn't find it spontaneously.
[10:03] <bipolar> ROnewbie: I don't use Gnome, so I'm not exactly sure how you would start it back up. I imaging something along the lines of right clicking on the taskbar and then on 'add applet' or some such.
[10:03] <keito> cheers guys for the tip

[10:04] <keito> spybot used to have a shredding function and you could set how many times to shred
[10:04] <needhelp> Hi, can  someone please help me with connecting to the wireless router?
[10:04] <keito> my personal fav method of data destruction is thermite
[10:04] <Xoris> soundray: weird though because /usr/include is the *default* include path... if you call gcc without any options at all, it'll just use that
[10:04] <NeVerSafe> slrazer, try apt-get smbfs
[10:05] <Xoris> soundray: but then i've seen weirder build systems *shrug*
[10:05] <Warbo> Hi, does anyone use Gossip with a Googletalk account? I can't get it to connect (Jabber.org works, other clients work)
[10:05] <gordonjcp> Xoris: why wouldn't shred or wipe give you 100% security?
[10:05] <keito> some advise: should I be using some anti-spyware programs like spybot/adaware or am i covered?
[10:06] <Xoris> gordonjcp: it's still possible with advanced (microscopic, etc) techniques to retrieve contents. this is mainly because the HD's heads aren't positioned 100% accurately, so you can "read the gaps"
[10:06] <keito> I'd also like to use a peerguardian equivalent on linux too
[10:06] <soundray> Xoris: thanks again for your pointer in the right direction.
[10:06] <MattJ> Warbo, maybe this thread is helpful: http://lists.imendio.com/pipermail/gossip-dev/2006-February/008560.html ?
[10:06] <notgod> can anyone tell me how to restore a start-up script for a removed package? (Specifically, cyrus-imapd-2.2)I removed the package, deleted the init.d script, then re-installed. The start-up script is not coming back. I tried apt-get --reinstall install, etc, no luck.
[10:06] <Xoris> gordonjcp: and on the other hand, without such advanced techniques, filling the file with /dev/zero is more than enough, as by software-only means you won't be able to retrieve anything
[10:06] <Warbo> MattJ, thanks I'l have a look (I've been googling for a while with no success)
[10:07] <ROnewbie> bipolar: thanks. I'll give this a try
[10:07] <gordonjcp> Xoris: yeah, but once you've overwritten the data, the old data is indistinguishable from noise
[10:07] <lockd> unagi: you need ffdshow, at the least
[10:07] <Xoris> notgod: uhm, but it should... sure that file doesn't actually belong to *another* package (i.e. a dependency?)
[10:07] <gordonjcp> Xoris: so if you scribble over a disk with suitably random values, nothing will ever be retrievable
[10:07] <keito> Xoris: if i zero-fill a drive using a boot disc several times then the chance of recovering the data inbetween gaps is reduced?
[10:07] <gordonjcp> Xoris: at least, on any disk made in about the past 10 years
[10:08] <gordonjcp> keito: don't zero-fill, fill it with random junk
[10:08] <gordonjcp> keito: /dev/audio might be a good source ;-)
[10:08] <keito> interesting
[10:08] <Xoris> gordonjcp: that's what makes wipe and shred a better idea that just filling with zeroes. but just google, and you'll find that there is still a possibility of retrival
[10:08] <gordonjcp> Xoris: no, there's not
[10:08] <gordonjcp> it's impossible
[10:08] <gordonjcp> the data is *gone*
[10:08] <Xoris> keito: just use wipe or shred, they do the work for you
[10:09] <keito> are these built-in functions to linux?
[10:09] <gordonjcp> Xoris: you've no way of distinguishing between the data written to disk, any residual flux, and just plain noise
[10:09] <eldkraft> when i logged in to CLI it said "1 failure since last login", how do I the boot check?
[10:10] <jarle__> keito: /dev/random
[10:10] <Xoris> gordonjcp: well, i'm pretty sure i've read a competently-written article (or at least so it seemed) claiming the contrary. i don't have web access now though, so... anyway we can agree that for 99.9% practical purposes, wipe/shred erase a file
[10:10] <Xoris> at least on ext2
[10:10] <gordonjcp> Xoris: on extremely old disks that used MFM, then yes, you can *in theory* guess the likely value of an overwritten bit by seeing how far off of average a particular bit is
[10:10] <str1> do you guys recommend enabling the feisty-backports repository ?  i want my system to be stable so does this repo contain untested stuff ?
[10:10] <keito> eldkraft: fsck?
[10:11] <gordonjcp> Xoris: modern disks use something akin to QAM to write to the disk, packing more bits on and making it impossible to work out what the old bit was
[10:11] <PriceChild> str1, If stability is paramount, I suggest you don't.
[10:11] <fevel> hey...im using ubuntu on my laptop, and I was wondering...do I really need a firewall??
[10:11] <selfsearcher[] > hi!
[10:11] <slrazer> why dose my computer say "Media Change: please insert the disc labelled `ubuntu-server 7.04 _Feisty Faw_ - release i386 (20070415)` in the drive `/c
[10:11] <eldkraft> eito, that is a command or a file?
[10:11] <PriceChild> !firewall | fevel
[10:11] <eldkraft> keito
[10:11] <ubotu> fevel: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:11] <ROnewbie> bipolar: is this how it's called - "notification area applet" ? there doesn't seem to be anything like that here
[10:12] <soundray> str1: it doesn't contain untested stuff
[10:12] <notgod> Xoris: how do I get the complete list of dependencies? I re-installed all the cyrus packages.
[10:12] <ROnewbie> bipolar: I have the option to "add to panel"
[10:12] <keito> fevel: the iptables are as secure as they get (as far as I'm aware) and a GUI like firestarter is only there to help you open ports for programs (thus making the system less secure)
[10:12] <bipolar> ROnewbie: sorry, I'm not really sure. I don't use gnome myself...
[10:12] <ROnewbie> bipolar: and then a bunch of applications ...
[10:12] <ROnewbie> bipolar: thanks, anyway
[10:12] <PriceChild> slrazer, you have a cd in your /etc/apt/sources.list I guess and its wanting the package off of there. You can remove the cd from system > admin > software sources
[10:12] <keito> eldkraft: yes?
[10:12] <str1> soundray: so what exactly does backport mean ?  it seems like old software ported to feisty ?
[10:12] <eldkraft> ok thank you
[10:12] <selfsearcher[] > slrazer does it say it when you need to install a new application?
[10:13] <fevel> keito, but I install ubuntu on average users desktops...Do you find a firewall necessary?
[10:13] <soundray> str1: generally, you want backports for upstream feature upgrades that aren't deemed important or security-relevant enough to warrant a mainline update.
[10:13] <ROnewbie> does anyone know how I can re-add to panel my notification area applet ?  i seem to have disabled it somehow.
[10:13] <soundray> str1: no, it's new software ported to feisty.
[10:13] <PriceChild> !pm | slrazer
[10:13] <ubotu> slrazer: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[10:13] <keito> fevel: I'd ahve said no.  I haven;t found the need for using a GUI frontend yet
[10:13] <PriceChild> slrazer, then remove the cdrom line manually from /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:13] <soundray> !backports > str1
[10:14] <str1> soundray: ah ok.  it seems good then ill keep it then
[10:14] <fevel> keito, I meant a firewall altogether
[10:14] <PriceChild> slrazer, in here please :)
[10:14] <keito> fevel: it would become useful if you were using a bittorrent client or another p2p app
[10:14] <StoneNewt> hum, is it me or is the unmount of network fs's in the wrong order? ie the network drives are unmounted AFTER the network is downed?
[10:15] <slrazer> ok.,..
[10:15] <fevel> keito, why would it become usefull? wont it restrict the p2p access?
[10:15] <slrazer> im using ubuntu server--- so i hawent got x...
[10:15] <keito> fevel: a hardware firewall is always a good security measure, but as far as I'm aware the system is secured very well from default.
[10:15] <ROnewbie> does anyone know how I can re-add my notification area applet to the taskbar ?  i seem to have disabled it somehow.
[10:15] <slrazer> im ust using temenal
[10:16] <str1> one more question:  i am getting failed package download for some extra repos like seveas and medibuntu...  where can i get the PGP key from that i need to add ?
[10:16] <Kalisto> hi, i have a Intel Core2 Duo. what version of ubuntu do i get? Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)== or== 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[10:16] <PriceChild> slrazer, use your favourite text editor to remove the apt-cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:16] <ubuntu__> ok, i have a problem. I'm trying to install kubuntu, but I dont know what disks of mine have crap on them (i have 3 HD's, only 1 is empty -- but they are all ntfs)
[10:16] <Floker> Hey guys. i installed KDE (kubuntu-desktop) for testing purposes and now i have the kubuntu splash screen when booting my computer. how can i get rid of that?
[10:16] <Busata> ROnewbie: Right click the panel, click + Add to panel, scroll down, and double click notification-area :)
[10:16] <PriceChild> !usplash | Floker
[10:16] <ubotu> Floker: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[10:16] <Creeture> Floker: look at update-alternatives
[10:16] <keito> fevel: the firewall in linux is already there once you install the system, the actual firewall that you install is only a graphical user interface to access the iptables that are by default very safe
[10:16] <fevel> yeah...I think so too, im using it for a month now...I dont think there was any incidents. Can someone help me forense that?
[10:16] <Xoris> notgod: apt-cache show packagename. or apt-cache --recurse depends packagename, but that will be very verbose. you can also try "auto-apt search init-d-filename" to see what package that files belongs to... but you have to install apt-file first, and run "sudo apt-file update"
[10:17] <soundray> str1: if you get a sources.list via source-o-matic, it will tell you in the header of that file
[10:17] <soundray> !easysource > str1
[10:17] <Floker> thank you PriceChild
[10:17] <fevel> keito, yes I understand...but there are no rules by default right??
[10:17] <ubuntu__> anyone know how i can view things on my disks? where they are mounted to and what not?
[10:17] <Xoris> fevel: right
[10:17] <fevel> keito, im talking about feisty desktop and not server
[10:17] <keito> fevel: by default nothing can get in (as far as I'm aware)
[10:17] <Pelo> ubuntu__, you can try  menu > system > prets > system monitor ,  fourth tab
[10:17] <Xoris> ubuntu__: just typing "mount" gives you the information you mentioned
[10:18] <kevinmcq> anyone here experience with the orinoco driver and can give me advice about getting it to use monitor mode?
[10:18] <fevel> keito, so from a fresh desktop install im not protected correct?
[10:18] <keito> fevel: you are.
[10:18] <Xoris> keito: you mean in a default ubuntu installation? then no, that's not correct
[10:18] <BVBBQ> well damn, i just upgraded to feisty and now the computer wont start properly. it gets past the loading screen then goes black. flashes to dark grey then back to black.... after a while just goes grey.
[10:18] <ubuntu__> i dont think the drives actually mounted thought
[10:18] <keito> xoris: whats the score then?
[10:18] <ubuntu__> nope
[10:18] <Pelo> ubuntu__,  check in gparted then
[10:18] <ubuntu__> my disks aren' mounted
[10:18] <JamesDS> > anyone have a ATI Radeon XPress 200M ? <
[10:18] <ubuntu__> ok
[10:18] <PriceChild> !anyone | JamesDS
[10:18] <Xoris> keito: anything can get in, by default. it's just that there's few/no sensitive services enabled by default.
[10:18] <ubotu> JamesDS: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:18] <fevel> I dont understand keito if nothing could come in...how com I have peers conected to me?
[10:18] <soundray> JamesDS: yes, and it's a PITA
[10:19] <str1> soundray:  thats great.  thanks for the help
[10:19] <kevinmcq> anyone here running feisty and has a wifi card using orinoco drivers and has patched it to use monitor mode?
[10:19] <notgod> Xoris: thanks, found it. had the old 2.1 version hanging around and had to perge them then reinstall everything. :)
[10:19] <slrazer> PriceChild: how do i open it in temenal?
[10:19] <spiderworm> hey all it seems the /etc/init.d/rcS file is important?
[10:19] <keito> fevel: looks like i stand corrected
[10:19] <ubuntu__> only 2 of my 4 disks are showing up...
[10:19] <lattera> I've got an intel 965gm video card in my laptop
[10:19] <Xoris> fevel: simple, connections *can* get it. ubuntu comes with no firewall rules, i.e. everything is allowed to connect. what makes it relatively safe by default is that no sensitive services are loaded
[10:19] <RoundyT1> Hey, i was looking at backing up my server .... what kind of options does ubuntu have??
[10:19] <lattera> I installed the newest drivers
[10:19] <JamesDS> soundray: what do you mean by PITA ?
[10:19] <evan_> hasn't ubuntu a package with java ,music and video plugins ?
[10:20] <lattera> but, when X starts, my screen is just black
[10:20] <BVBBQ> well damn, i just upgraded to feisty and now the computer wont start properly. it gets past the loading screen then goes black. flashes to dark grey then back to black.... after a while just goes grey. someone please help!
[10:20] <bobgill> Hey guys I have an .mp3 and some pictures, What can I use to make a movie that transitions the pictures with the music playing? (Like many Youtube videos) :) ??
[10:20] <soundray> JamesDS: pain in the neck ;)
[10:20] <lattera> and I can't get to a console
[10:20] <ubuntu__> i have that stupid jmicron controller that seems to be getting bypassed...
[10:20] <lattera> anyone know how to solve that?
[10:20] <keito> Xoris: so how wold fevel go about securing his/her system
[10:20] <JamesDS> soundray: ahh!  can you get restricted drivers working for it?
[10:20] <fevel> Xoris, I see...so for an average user its ok without a one right?
[10:20] <slrazer> how do i open sources.list in the temenal so i cane change in it...
[10:20] <RoundyT1> Hey, i was looking at backing up my server .... what kind of options does ubuntu have??
[10:21] <TheMeltdown> slrazer: gksudo /etc/apt/source.list
[10:21] <Xoris> keito, fevel: depends what he wants to achieve, everything's a compromise between security and simplicity. as he just said, yeah, i'd say for an average user who doesn't do things he should avoid (like installing servers/daemons without knowing what he's doing), it's alright
[10:21] <PriceChild> slrazer, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:21] <soundray> JamesDS: yes, but it's very unstable, sometimes showing only a white screen, requiring to switch back and forth between console and X. Nothing that my wife can deal with (it's her laptop), so we're using the radeon driver on it.
[10:21] <fevel> no no keito. Im not trying to secure it. I want to know how far it would go without anyone tweaking anything security related
[10:21] <Xoris> TheMeltdown: gksudo is not an editor ;)
[10:21] <PriceChild> slrazer, I reckon you should be using a gui until you're competent on the command line
[10:22] <ubuntu__> crap
[10:22] <slrazer> ahhhhhh
[10:22] <BVBBQ> well damn, i just upgraded to feisty and now the computer wont start properly. it gets past the loading screen then goes black. flashes to dark grey then back to black.... after a while just goes grey. someone please help!
[10:22] <fevel> ok
[10:22] <ubuntu__> i just realized that my boot disk is on the jmicron controller
[10:22] <slrazer> gksudo i dont hawe..
[10:22] <soundray> ubuntu__: no profanities please.
[10:22] <PriceChild> slrazer, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:22] <ubuntu__> i wont be able to boot to linux...
[10:22] <mcscruff> is there anywhere you can download ubuntu live 2007 coverage?
[10:23] <slrazer> Thanx :)
[10:23] <kevinmcq> anyone know how to get orinoco driver patched to have monitor mode on feisty?
[10:23] <mcscruff> kevinmcq, for aircrack?
[10:23] <kevinmcq> mcsruff amoung other things, yet
[10:23] <kevinmcq> yes
[10:23] <RichW> How can i manually stop compiz from loading at boot?
[10:23] <ubuntu__> how can i get around this dumb jmicron controller problem?
[10:23] <MilitantPotato> whats a good fanspeed/temp monitor? AMD x2 3800 (K8) system
[10:23] <ubuntu__> i thought this should have been fixed with the fiesty release...
[10:23] <soundray> MilitantPotato: mbmon
[10:24] <bannerman> I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but it's absoultely ludicrous that the Ubuntu installer does not warn you that you can't put /boot in a software raid 5 partition!
[10:24] <mcscruff> kevinmcq, look on the aircrack website under support or docs, it has the step by step guide
[10:24] <soundray> !info mbmon | MilitantPotato
[10:24] <ubotu> militantpotato: mbmon: Hardware monitoring without kernel dependencies (text client). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.05-4 (feisty), package size 65 kB, installed size 196 kB (Only available for i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 knetbsd-i386)
[10:24] <MilitantPotato> soundray: ty
[10:24] <kevinmcq> mcscruff, problem is the majority of the guides ive found are all over 2 years old
[10:24] <kevinmcq> and are not tested on feisty
[10:24] <BVBBQ> well DAMN, i just upgraded to feisty and now the computer wont start properly. it gets past the loading screen then goes black. flashes to dark grey then back to black.... after a while just goes grey. someone please help!
[10:24] <mcscruff> kevinmcq, they work :)
[10:24] <kevinmcq> have you done it, on feisty?
[10:24] <mcscruff> oooo yea
[10:25] <kevinmcq> kk, well as long as i know it works correctly on feisty then ill try it, thanks
[10:25] <mcscruff> kevinmcq, i have atheros chipset that worked fine
[10:25] <soundray> JamesDS: not what you wanted to hear, I take it?
[10:25] <kevinmcq> if i run into problems can i message you?
[10:25] <mcscruff> kevinmcq, sure
[10:25] <keito> Xoris: should I be configuring firestarter for use with p2p apps like nicotine then?
[10:25] <kevinmcq> thanks, aircrack site right? not airsnort?

[10:26] <vor> Hi, How can I make sour no data/cached files, from a smb-mount-over-ssh, are left on a clinet after a pc crash/logoff. my concern is to bild a system that if stolen will have no data on it. the winxp client is given, so I can't boot to ram from cd I only need to secure the samba mount is wiped.
[10:26] <keito> kevinmcq: you can install this from synaptic
[10:26] <mcscruff> kevinmcq, the aircrack site is the guide i use as it links to the patch and how to use it
[10:26] <maeth> my linux ubuntu server died on a bad update, i asked here a few weeks ago and there was nothing that could be done cause there wasnt a way to revert the problem, now i tried to reinstall ubuntu on top of the old data, but it couldnt be done cause of problems found during the install, some of the data couldnt be written, now i removed the HD to my work PC and i booted up in the live CD, i now try to access the files , i mounted the HD with no pro
[10:26] <maeth> blems, i also mounted my NTFS HD in order to backup everything in NTFS3g with no problems, but when i try to access the files of the "lampp" or "xampp" some folders says that im not authorized... WHAT CAN I DO??

[10:27] <luddite> hello, i'm having issues with enabling nvidia graphics acceleration.
[10:28] <Busata> XiXaQ: if it's a tar.gz file, I think you can just drag it to the theme config tool
[10:28] <Magicmush> hi everybody
[10:28] <Magicmush> anyone speak french and can help me with the file reception on Xchat???

[10:30] <skinnypuppy_1334> Which copy of smb.conf should I edit ? In dir  /etc/samba/ or /usr/share/samba
[10:30] <soundray> JamesDS: there seem to be different revisions around. I've heard about some that work well, too. I just haven't been so lucky.
[10:30] <JamesDS> soundray: ah, yeah
[10:30] <JamesDS> soundray: do you happen to have a compaq laptop?
[10:30] <soundray> JamesDS: my PC has the same chip board-integrated. I gave up on it and got an nvidia PCI-e card.
[10:30] <spiderworm> can anyone tell me what their /etc/init.d/rcS file has in it please?
[10:31] <Kalisto> hi, i have a Intel Core2 Duo. what version of ubuntu do i get? Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)== or== 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[10:31] <XiXaQ> Busata, but will that make it available to all users?
[10:31] <JamesDS> soundray: that's the great thing about PCs!  expansion
[10:31] <Busata> XiXaQ: not sure, doubting it
[10:32] <kaos_> spiderworm - exec /etc/init.d/rc S
[10:32] <kaos_> thats the only line and im on a fresh install of feisty
[10:33] <soundray> Kalisto: Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop Standard if you want a straightforward experience. Go for amd64 if you want the last bit of performance and don't mind a few troubles with Acrobat Reader and other proprietary programs.

[10:37] <quaal> thanks kingKonqueror
[10:37] <Xoris> Blauhaut: it's possible, there are a couple of packages that let you do it... i don't have access to an ubuntu machine right now, so try "apt-cache search video cd" or "apt-cache search vcd" and such

[10:38] <Ultra_Immortal> hello
[10:38] <Blauhaut> soundray; upps i am looking for it about 30 min :) and can not find
[10:38] <bayside> I just removed my cd drive and installed a dvd drive but my bios does not see the dvd drive how do I get it to be reconized?
[10:39] <N3432> i cant seem to use sudo on a new ubuntu install ?
[10:39] <Blauhaut> soundray; maybe it is time to surprise :)
[10:39] <kitche> bayside: you have to play around with your bios to get it working I had to
[10:40] <bayside> kitche: I did mess around with it, I saw nothing that would make it reconize it
[10:40] <kevinmcq> mcscruff,  k
[10:40] <Ultra_Immortal> Can I do a clean install with the ISO. Is it bootable?
[10:40] <soundray> Blauhaut: maybe it is. If so, you should probably search the web. You may need to go low level with transcode, ffmpeg, mencoder and friends.
[10:40] <Paradox34690> hey all...  Is it bootable?
[10:40] <Xoris> !info vcdtools | Blauhaut
[10:40] <ubotu> blauhaut: vcdtools: Creates Video CD (VCD) filesystem images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-2 (feisty), package size 29 kB, installed size 108 kB

[10:41] <Gun_Smoke> N3432: SOL then.
[10:41] <Seveas> !root | N3432
[10:41] <ubotu> N3432: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:41] <soundray> Blauhaut: highlevel tools seem to be vcdimager and vcdtools, check them out yourself (found with apt-cache search)
[10:41] <Floker> i got a framebuffer enabled console and its at 1024x768, however since my monitor is 1280x800 it looks a bit stretched

[10:41] <Gun_Smoke> aneb: I actually do have a root password..
[10:41] <Paradox34690> good point... Well, anyways, I just downloaded this MMORPG called PlaneShift. I got the x86 file which, as I stated, is a .bin file.  The instructions for installation say to do a "chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-*", which I've done, but i'm lost now... there's nothing more as far as instructions for what to do next....
[10:42] <RoundyT1> Hey, i was looking at backing up my server .... what kind of options does ubuntu have??
[10:42] <kingKonqueror> Paradox34690, run it :)
[10:42] <aneb> Gun_Smoke: Don't :-)
[10:42] <lockd> you can login as root if something in sudo goes kaboom
[10:42] <jarle__> "apt-get upgrade" tells me "The following packages have been kept back: linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic" Why won't it upgrade my kernel?
[10:42] <Xoris> Blauhaut, the VCD format *is* mpeg. mpeg with standardized resolution and stuff, and on a standardized filesystem structure.
[10:42] <RoundyT1> !backup
[10:42] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[10:42] <kingKonqueror> Paradox34690,  if you're in a GUI, just double click it
[10:42] <Seveas> jarle__, because you didn't do apt-get dist-upgrade ;)
[10:42] <aneb> lockd: better to reboot and choose recovery.
[10:42] <kingKonqueror> Paradox34690, or from the terminal, cd to the directory it is in, and run ./filename
[10:43] <Xoris> Blauhaut: also, for a GUI, i see that Arson (though it's a KDE app) can help you burn VCD
[10:43] <aneb> lockd: a root password is as secure as the user who sets it - not secure at all.
[10:43] <jarle__> Sevaes: ah.... better.. thnx!
[10:43] <N3432> Seveas: when i do sudo nothing happens ..
[10:43] <RoundyT1> !sbackup
[10:43] <ubotu> sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe
[10:43] <kingKonqueror> N3432, what is the command you're trying to run with sudo?
[10:44] <Paradox34690> kingKonq (and all), I have already, but i get a message that states "Cannot open /home/paradox/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file."
[10:44] <Paradox34690> and the ./<filename> from terminal
[10:44] <kingKonqueror> Paradox34690, that sounds like it still doesn't have execute permissions
[10:44] <jerbear> how can i set a folder image in gnome? similar to having a "folder.jpg" in windows
[10:44] <kingKonqueror> try ignoring chmod for now and just right click the icon and view its permissions - make sure it can execute
[10:45] <Floker> heres one hard question: i have a server running 24/7 (w/o graphics) - what the heck should i do with it? :>
[10:45] <Paradox34690> okay... any pointers then? (i'm totally new to linux).   Okay, I'll check that out.
[10:45] <pramz> jerbear, right click on the folder and then click the icon button
[10:45] <jarle__> Floker: file/web server?
[10:45] <aneb> Floker: i use mine as a service
[10:46] <Paradox34690> kingK: It is set as "allow executing file as program"...
[10:46] <jerbear> pramz: i'm trying to do i programmatically because i have a ton of folders to work with
[10:46] <Pelo> Paradox34690,  this will come in handy  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ and http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[10:46] <Floker> aneb, what kind of service do you mean?
[10:46] <Paradox34690> ooooo, thanks Pelo... I'll bookmark it.
[10:46] <pramz> jerbear, i recommend asking on the gnome irc since its a nautilus thing
[10:47] <jerbear> pramz: no one seems to be awake in there :)
[10:47] <pramz> jerbear, try the gnome mailing lists
[10:47] <Pelo> Paradox34690, there are two, they have been most usefull to me in the past
[10:47] <nexous> How do I change the boot order of grub boot loader so that Windows boots first rather than ubuntu?
[10:48] <Paradox34690> I've saved them both Pelo. THanks :)
[10:48] <kingKonqueror> nexous, edit your menu.lst file
[10:48] <kitche> nexous: change default in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:48] <Floker> nexous, i'd recomment not to do that
[10:48] <nexous> Floker: Whys that?
[10:48] <slrazer> ok... this is not an easy question :P how do i mane an directory in terminal :P
[10:48] <Pelo> nexous,   sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst  find the windows menu entry lined and carefully move them to the top
[10:48] <Blauhaut> he will back ...
[10:48] <Pelo> nexous,  not the top of the file,  the top of the menu entries
[10:48] <Floker> nexous, because then youre gonna use windows more often
[10:48] <nexous> Pelo: alright
[10:48] <Floker> :)
[10:49] <kitche> Pelo: you don't have to move the windows entry at all but it does make it easier :)
[10:49] <Pelo> nexous, if you upload your menu.lst file to pastebin I can tell you wich lines to move to where
[10:49] <nexous> Pelo, well I have to go to ubuntu first, I'll be back on irc chat on there if i have troubles.
[10:49] <nexous> Thank you though.
[10:49] <Pelo> kitche, realy ? how then ?, just curious,  not tryiing to show you up or anything
[10:50] <kitche> Pelo change the default line to whatever windows is set to
[10:50] <Pelo> kitche wut ?
[10:50] <kitche> Pelo: grub has a line that has default 0 you can change that to whatever windows is
[10:51] <roger_padactor> is there something like microsoft visio for linux?
[10:51] <ompaul> roger_padactor, it is called dia
[10:51] <Pelo> kitche,  0 being the first item in the menu I take it

[10:52] <bottiger> How do i print a paper as "draft" ? to speed things up and save ink?

[10:57] <ompaul> Vinchenzo28, this auto backs it up >>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:57] <MasterShrek> sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
[10:57] <spheard> how do I record audio with ubuntu?
[10:57] <Pelo> jaydoggg, varies with the bios mine won't let me do that ,  just select between one of each kind, one hdd, one cdrom, one floppy, I wish I had yours
[10:57] <ompaul> Vinchenzo28,  while letting you do the business
[10:57] <Vinchenzo28> ok
[10:57] <nosmoke7804> I'm trying to run the ubuntu live cd. I'm booting from the CD and choose the first option. The boot screen shows, and after it seems to be done loading I get an error message.

[10:58] <zitner> I'M Trying to get my 3D Accleration to work, anyone have any ideas???
[10:58] <jaydoggg> Pelo: ya, mine is a DFI Lanparty NSF ultra D sli,  the boot options are sick
[10:58] <nosmoke7804> can any one help figure this out? i've been googling and reading threads at ubuntuforums.org but no answer
[10:58] <Pelo> nosmoke7804,  look at the live cd boot menu, at the bottom you have options to set the resoloutin
[10:58] <jaydoggg> NF4 :-)
[10:58] <MasterShrek> zitner, what kinda gfx card?
[10:59] <zitner> Mobile Intel 945GM Express MasterShrek
[10:59] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: I've tried that, I've got a Dell 23" monitor and a ATI graphics card
[10:59] <Pelo> jaydoggg, i'm poor , my mobo is cheap
[10:59] <nosmoke7804> 24"*
[10:59] <MilitantPotato> I'm having issues getting the proper refresh rate on this monitor, I edited xorg.conf to the proper refresh rate but I still can't select it.  Feisty w/ a 6800GT running compiz fusion ontop of XGL
[10:59] <jaydoggg> Pelo: i'm living beyond my means, not so smart
[10:59] <su-hoens> anyone here used mdadm?
[10:59] <jaydoggg> todays problem is installing flash
[10:59] <zitner> I got the resolution fixed, and the open gl, but I can't figure out the 3D stuff.
[10:59] <jaydoggg> any takers?
[10:59] <Pelo> nosmoke7804, with ati cards it is usualy best to use the alternate install cd , it is text based , makes things easier to start with, you can install the proper ati drivers after the install is complete
[10:59] <evan_> hey i installed JRE6 without problems but in firefox java is not enabled, I did enable it in firefox settings
[11:00] <chemturion> hey there is there a way to securely delete a file in ubuntu?

[11:00] <jaydoggg> Pelo:  not sure, I got a disc from a dude at work and just installed it

[11:01] <MasterShrek> zitner, im not very familiar with intel graphics cards
[11:01] <MilitantPotato> I'm having issues getting the proper refresh rate on this monitor, I edited xorg.conf to the proper refresh rate but I still can't select it.  Feisty w/ a 6800GT running compiz fusion ontop of XGL
[11:01] <herbaliser> anybody can point me to a guide to configure geforce 7800 go tv-out on ubuntu
[11:01] <Pelo> spheard,  search in the forum, I'm sure youcan find instructions for it
[11:01] <herbaliser> i tryed nvtv but it says video-card not supported
[11:01] <MasterShrek> herbaliser, if you install the driver from nvidia's site it will give you a nice little gui program for configuring this
[11:01] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: Can a newbe do that? :)
[11:01] <zitner> IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT KNOW ABOUT THE MOBILE INTEL 945GM EXPRESS GRAPHICS CARD?????

[11:04] <B3nne> hey, can some1 help me find out what graphic card i have? please
[11:04] <MilitantPotato> I'm having issues getting the proper refresh rate on this monitor, I edited xorg.conf to the proper refresh rate but I still can't select it.  Feisty w/ a 6800GT running compiz fusion ontop of XGL
[11:05] <Pelo> B3nne, I assume you no longer have your computer's documentation ?
[11:05] <jaydoggg> oh well, flash isnt that important i guess
[11:05] <zitner> MCSRUFF, I mean for gaming purposes, not for Beryl.
[11:05] <Paradox34690> B3nne, you could probably go to System > preferences > hardware information and find it out from there (or at least the chipset)
[11:05] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: I'm downloading and trying now, but will it make any difference when done? How can I install ATI drivers?
[11:05] <B3nne> pelo: i want to know what graphic card i have so i can install the rutins for it
[11:05] <Pelo> nosmoke7804,  you just come back here and we'll give yo instrutions
[11:05] <Pelo> jaydoggg,  did you checkout the links ?
[11:06] <roger_padactor> what is a good torrent program for ubuntu? like utorrent
[11:06] <jaydoggg> Pelo: checking them out now
[11:06] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: I've only got one computer, installing dual boot style! :)
[11:06] <jaydoggg> gnash looks like a viable alt
[11:06] <evan_> hey i installed JRE6 without problems but in firefox java is not enabled, I did enable it in firefox settings
[11:06] <Pelo> B3nne,   menu >system > prefs > hardware information   you can locate your video card in ther e
[11:06] <medfly> roger_padactor, theres azureus and just text things.
[11:06] <B3nne> paradow34690: thank you
[11:06] <MilitantPotato> Anyone know why the change in refresh i made in xorg.conf isn't available?
[11:06] <roger_padactor> hmmm
[11:07] <medfly> MilitantPotato, maybe you gotta restart x?
[11:07] <Pelo> jaydoggg,  try this ,   menu < system > admin > synaptic package manager,   search for flash and see what comes up , install the package listed,   make sure you enable all the repositories first,  ( in the menus)
[11:07] <MilitantPotato> whats the command for that medfly
[11:07] <ryancr> is there a pidgin repo for Dapper?
[11:07] <nosmoke7804> The Live CD gives me an option to start installation in simple graphic mode or something, and I got that one to work. Can I choose that option after installation also?
[11:07] <medfly> MilitantPotato, ctrl+alt+backspace
[11:07] <medfly> MilitantPotato, :-)
[11:07] <MilitantPotato> ok brb!
[11:07] <jaydoggg> Pelo: i'm on it
[11:07] <zitner> Ok, um, does anyone know where I can go for help for 3D acceleration for intel cards on Ubuntu?
[11:07] <Paradox34690> no prob... if it says NV(anything) it's an nvidia chip... I can only assume that if it says ATI(something) it's an ATI, now as far as your EXACT card... i can think of 1 of two things... Either open up the case and find out on the card itself, or (if it's a laptop) go to the manufacturers website.
[11:07] <Pelo> nosmoke7804, did you get the cd or the dvd ?  because you can install in txt mode from the dvd
[11:08] <medfly> ryanakca, dont think so, last i checked. i compiled pidgin myself. theres an older version fo gaim, tho.
[11:08] <medfly> i wanna be able to move the mouse with the keyboard, something similar to the windows numpad mouse. does anyone know a way to do it? (or can give me some direction)
[11:08] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: CD, can't burn DVDs :(
[11:08] <ChaosMachine> zitner specifically what intel card? and is it a card or onboard?
[11:08] <medfly> MilitantPotato, does that work?
[11:08] <Pelo> nosmoke7804,  you can try the simple graphic mode if you want,  it can't hurt but I donT' knwo what it is
[11:08] <MilitantPotato> no
[11:08] <MilitantPotato> still max of 55htz
[11:09] <Paradox34690> hey medfly, does that pidgin let you do sms messages as well?
[11:09] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: Is that option there after installation also? From the GRUB menu?
[11:09] <medfly> Paradox34690, i didnt know it can do SMS messages. :-)
[11:09] <Paradox34690> nonono, i'm asking if it can
[11:09] <MilitantPotato> I snagged the proper V and H refresh for this monitor at 1024x768, plugged that into xorg.conf
[11:09] <Pelo> nosmoke7804, I thought you wre talking about something you saw, sorry I guess I missread you, forget it then
[11:09] <Grungebunny> Hello.. im having difficulty adding a user to Ubuntu, whatever password I set when I add the user, the login screen doesn't seem to recognize it. what am I doing wrong?
[11:09] <Pelo> later folkls
[11:10] <nosmoke7804> Pelo: OK
[11:10] <medfly> Paradox34690, i dont know if its related to your operation system if you are capable of doing it on pidgin. i never knew of that feature or tried to use it. :-)
[11:10] <Paradox34690> I'm interested in finding something like Gaim (or pidgin) that is also capable of SMS... anyone know anything like that?
[11:10] <medfly> Paradox34690, oh, i see.
[11:10] <MilitantPotato> medfly: that didn't work, rebooting didn't either. :(
[11:10] <Paradox34690> medfly: it's cool... :)
[11:10] <Grungebunny> Paradox you can do SMS on Yahoo but I dunno if the yahoo side of GAIM does it.
[11:11] <medfly> MilitantPotato, i remember that ubuntu had some fancy setting, on gnome. like on your top menu. you can change the refresh rate in there too. maybe that will work :-)
[11:11] <herbaliser> i have setup configure tv-out but i have only black-white on my tv, is this my tv or xorg.conf file?
[11:11] <medfly> MilitantPotato, (maybe its overriding it)
[11:11] <Paradox34690> Grungebunny: Nah, Gaim (at least the one preinstalled on Ubuntu) doesn't do SMS. I never even thought of seeing if yahoo had something that was linux compatible. :)
[11:12] <Grungebunny> im having difficulty adding a user to Ubuntu, whatever password I set when I add the user, the login screen doesn't seem to recognize it. what am I doing wrong?
[11:12] <MilitantPotato> medfly: I'm going to system>pref>screen rez
[11:12] <Paradox34690> Grunge: Is YOUR user set to administer the system?
[11:12] <MilitantPotato> It deffinatly seems to be ignoring xorg.conf
[11:13] <Grungebunny> paradox yep
[11:13] <Ben_Cs> Grungebunny: you have to allow this user to login
[11:13] <medfly> i wanna be able to move the mouse with the keyboard, something similar to the windows numpad mouse. does anyone know a way to do it? (or can give me some direction)
[11:13] <aldren> hi all
[11:13] <medfly> maybe i shouldnt be repeating myself so much, but i havent found anyone that knows how to do it yet :(
[11:13] <Grungebunny> so I shouldn't set the password by hand?
[11:14] <Kasle> do anyone know about a good scratch program for ubuntu or kubuntu?
[11:14] <Paradox34690> Grunge: I set my users p/w's by hand and they don't have a prob....
[11:14] <medfly> kaske, whats a scratch program?
[11:14] <aldren> has anyone any experience with ipsec-tools ?
[11:14] <Kasle> medfly: u know... what DJ's use
[11:14] <Ben_Cs> Grunge: you should, but there's a place where you put a V for alowing the user to login through splash screen login
[11:14] <jaydoggg> is there a ver or version command that will show my version of ubuntu?
[11:15] <kitche> !version | jaydoggg
[11:15] <ubotu> jaydoggg: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[11:15] <medfly> Kasle, well, if it comforts you, my friend suggested there are some, some time ago.
[11:15] <Paradox34690> Grunge: you could always try setting the password to blank, then let them try to change it, can't you?
[11:15] <Grungebunny> Ben thats what I want to do, allow them to login at the splash screen
[11:15] <Kasle> medfly: what do u mean?
[11:16] <medfly> Kasle, that theres probably something that works.
[11:16] <medfly> Kasle, giving you hope and stuff.
[11:16] <B3nne> Where do I get a nice driver for this: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Unknown device 3371 (rev 01)
[11:16] <Kasle> medfly: ok... but you don't know about any program?
[11:16] <medfly> Kasle, yeah, just trying to give yous ome hope.
[11:16] <jaydoggg> kitche: thx
[11:16] <Paradox34690> B3nne, is that an onboard card?
[11:16] <hjmills> How does grub reference logical partitions? Does it just keep counting (1,2,3 for the primary then 4,5 for the two logical partitions i have) or does it count the extended partition?
[11:17] <B3nne> yes
[11:17] <jaydoggg> I was wanting to know if i'm running 64bit fiesty
[11:17] <Paradox34690> B3nne, do you know who the manufacturer is of your motherboard?
[11:17] <Ben_Cs> Grunge: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86172   this explains about root but should be the same for another login as well
[11:17] <B3nne> asus or intel, I think
[11:17] <medfly> Kasle, you might wanna saerch the package system, because im getting some potential results by just searching for "audio". see how you like them.
[11:17] <kitche> jaydoggg: uname -a will tell you either it will say i686 or x86_64
[11:18] <tehk> Anyone know why I cannot unhide my gnome panel unless I slide my mouse into the corner? This only happens when using compiz.
[11:18] <Paradox34690> b3nne, I'm assuming that this isn't a laptop that you're on, right?
[11:18] <AlexC__> Hey guys,
[11:18] <B3nne> Paradox34690, no it isnt
[11:18] <jaydoggg> kitche: figures, 64 bit version
[11:18] <jaydoggg> kitche: thx for the commands
[11:19] <AlexC__> I've just plugged my Sandisk Sansa MP3 player in and it reconisied it ok - however when it mounted it mounted it as read-only.... I'm using Feisty and have mounted the mp3 player before - why could it be read-only now?

[11:22] <Paradox34690> b3nne; okay... no biggie, was going to private chat ya what I would do...   You could go to the computer manufacturer website (provided it's like a Dell or something) and find out all the info you need there. OR, you could just crack open the case (while it's off) and on the motherboard you'll more than likely see the manufacturer of the board and also the model number.
[11:22] <Sergiu1> hello
[11:22] <Sergiu1> i want to ask: does flood ping make damage to local network?
[11:22] <B3nne> paradox34690, thanks
[11:23] <Sergiu1> i do ping -f ip an hour to an ip
[11:23] <Paradox34690> B3nne: No problem, it's at least a start. took me an hour to get my wireless working on my laptop, but have patience, you'll figure it out.
[11:23] <twenty18> I just unstalled ubuntu (for the first time linux) and I'm having a problem: I have to install 106 updates but everytime I want to download them, my computer freezes. Anyone has a clue how to fix this problem?
[11:23] <teknotus> Sergiu1: Why would you want to do that?
[11:24] <Paradox34690> Yes sergiu, it will damage your system... try pinging <IP_ADDRESS> just to test ;)
[11:24] <Sergiu1> teknotus: i don't know, maybe to check if packages if there are any packages lost
[11:24] <nephish> twenty18_: are you sure your network is connected?
[11:24] <scarrera> hi
[11:24] <Sergiu1> Paradox34690 :) I saw, there where many echo request
[11:24] <nephish> you can get around and firefox and whatnot ?
[11:24] <twenty18> nephish yes my network is recognized and I'm able to surf the net
[11:24] <Sergiu1> Paradox34690: does restart help to exit the flood ?
[11:24] <Sergiu1> :)
[11:25] <ConfidentiaL> first time setting up a linux server, fairly new user to linux, although I got the basics. What do you recommend, feisty server or dapper server? for home use. Quite powerful PC.
[11:25] <bipolar> can someone test this openoffice document for me? on both of my feisty installs it's crashes oo.o. It opens in the windows version (2.2.1) fine, and it reportedly works fine in the gutsy version too. http://longbros.com/test.ods
[11:25] <nephish> twenty18_: try it from the command line. type sudo apt-get update    then   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade . let us know what happens
[11:25] <Paradox34690> Sergiu, i'd hope so... <IP_ADDRESS> is just your internal IP address (a loopback)... But no, ping flood won't damage anything physically, but it will EAT UP your bandwidth.
[11:25] <B3nne> well, now i figured out what graphic card i have, can someone help me find a nice driver for this: UniChrome Pro 3D Graphics 64 MB
[11:25] <Sergiu1> Paradox34690: and my connection with network now is very bad
[11:26] <Sergiu1> :(
[11:26] <Paradox34690> Serg, i'd just reboot your router.
[11:26] <lImItaO> someone knows how to add a border to a layer in Gimp?
[11:26] <B3nne> well, now i figured out what graphic card i have, can someone help me find a nice driver for this: UniChrome Pro 3D Graphics 64 MB
[11:27] <Sergiu1> Paradox34690: i-m afraied there were many routers
[11:27] <Sergiu1> Paradox34690: join on ubuntu-offtopic
[11:27] <Sergiu1> to speak there
[11:27] <twenty18> nephish tnx a lot
[11:27] <twenty18> I'll try it out
[11:28] <twenty18> is the command line something like terminal ?
[11:28] <nephish> twenty18_: are you using fiesty ? ubuntu 7.04 cd ?
[11:28] <twenty18> I'm using mac at the moment
[11:28] <Paradox34690> b3nne:  seriously... invest in a new card, you won't get too much out of it. you *might* be able to pick up a cheap 128meg GForce FX 5500 for about $100 at a radioshack, good luck though cause finding AGP cards is getting harder and harder these days.
[11:28] <gonzaloaf_work> hi, how to configure the sound card in ubuntu?
[11:28] <gonzaloaf_work> !sound
[11:28] <twenty18> nephish 7.04
[11:28] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:28] <nephish> twenty18_: shoud be ok then
[11:28] <nephish> just let us know
[11:29] <B3nne> paradoc34690, my economy is very low at the moment
[11:29] <Paradox34690> Sergiu1: Nah bro... i'm fine right here ;) sorry guy.   Don't be afraid, just do a power cycle on your main router. That should take care of it.
[11:29] <howlingmadhowie> bipolar: works okay for me :)
[11:29] <B3nne> paradox34690, my economy is very low at the moment so please help me find a nice driver for it.
[11:29] <nephish> is it my location or are the forums loading really slow?
[11:29] <bipolar> howlingmadhowie: running gnome?
[11:30] <Paradox34690> B3nne: Hmmm, well...   try doing a google on it.
[11:30] <B3nne> Paradox34690, i did it did not result in something good.
[11:31] <howlingmadhowie> bipolar: i am :) though that shouldn't make a difference. there are some funny values in settings.xml inside the file, but apart from that, it looks okay
[11:31] <Vinchenzo28> how do i change the splash screen in 7.04
[11:31] <quasar8888> HELP !!! I am a complete Ubuntu / Linux dummy but I HATE MS where do I start learning about Ubuntu ???
[11:32] <Paradox34690> Vinchenzo28: go look at www.gnome-look.org
[11:32] <Xoris> quasar8888: hating MS is not a requirement to get support on this channel. still,
[11:32] <Xoris> !documentation
[11:32] <bipolar> howlingmadhowie: yeah... I replaced everything but content.xml with a known good file. whatever the problem is, it's in content.xml
[11:32] <ubotu> documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[11:32] <rockets> In the description of the ubuntu-desktop package it says "It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed." Does that mean package upgrades in general, or just upgrades between different releases, e.g. feisty to gutsy?
[11:32] <fyrestrtr> is there a visual app that can find duplicate files on your system?
[11:33] <fyrestrtr> rockets: its release upgrades
[11:33] <howlingmadhowie> bipolar: content.xml works fine with me
[11:33] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[11:33] <rockets> fyrestrtr, ok, well i always install the newest version off cd, I don't upgrade
[11:33] <Drk_Guy> I have a problem here
[11:33] <rockets> so im safe in that case right
[11:33] <Paradox34690> B3nne: I haven't forgot ya... i'm still searching.
[11:33] <Wuffelz> i heard you have a bot?
[11:33] <Wuffelz> is this true
[11:33] <Drk_Guy> I need someone to tell me which are the contents of the standard 7.04 ISO
[11:33] <B3nne> Paradox34690, thanks for helping me =)
[11:34] <ozzloy> i just installed fusion.  when i alt+tab, it skips over 2 windows, how do i fix that?
[11:34] <Paradox34690> B3nne: *is* that a dell?
[11:34] <bipolar> howlingmadhowie: yep... it seems it's only on kubuntu.... at least until someone in #kubuntu gets back with an 'it works' message... then it's just on my two systems.
[11:34] <Drk_Guy> I need someone to tell me which are the contents of the standard 7.04 ISO
[11:35] <rockets> fyrestrtr, try kleansweep
[11:35] <howlingmadhowie> bipolar: mm, strange. xmllint --debug content.xml seems to be okay.
[11:35] <fyrestrtr> rockets: is that a kde app?
[11:35] <rockets> fyrestrtr, also komparator
[11:35] <B3nne> Paradox34690,no it is not, it is this one the site is on swedish but i could not fins anyone else : http://www.ammdata.se/index.php?target=products&product_id=29791
[11:35] <rockets> fyrestrtr, yeah it is but itll work just fine in gnome
[11:35] <JanWinnicki> hello

[11:35] <fyrestrtr> thanks.
[11:35] <Drk_Guy> I need someone to tell me which are the contents of the standard 7.04 ISO
[11:35] <Wuffelz> must...harass..BOT
[11:35] <rockets> fyrestrtr, you refuse to have any Qt or KDE libs installed?
[11:35] <Drk_Guy> Calm down on Ubotu Wuffelz
[11:36] <Drk_Guy> Take it easy man
[11:36] <Paradox34690> B3nne: that'll do... I can make out what I need :) Asus S775 P4M900 motherboard :)
[11:36] <kr00lplatinum> Will the ADI AD1986A audio chipset be supported by ubuntu?
[11:37] <howlingmadhowie> bipolar: if that's a bug in oocalc, it really is a showstopper
[11:37] <bipolar> howlingmadhowie: I've confirmed it crashes another box I have here, running kubuntu feisty... I just need one or two outside tests....
[11:37] <ubuntu_noob> Good day to all
[11:37] <Wuffelz> cant calm
[11:37] <Wuffelz> hey wait
[11:37] <Wuffelz> i have a question
[11:37] <Wuffelz> bout ubuntu
[11:37] <Drk_Guy> Why not Wuffelz
[11:37] <Wuffelz> i installed ubuntu feisty on my extern
[11:38] <howlingmadhowie> bipolar: well, i can only confirm it opens fine in a virtual machine running ubuntu.
[11:38] <fyrestrtr> rockets: no, there are some things I compiled so I need to keep an eye on what libs are installed where.
[11:38] <Wuffelz> external hard drive
[11:38] <Wuffelz> and
[11:38] <Wuffelz> when it loads up
[11:38] <Wuffelz> after install
[11:38] <Wuffelz> it shuts down the hd
[11:38] <rockets> fyrestrtr, ah yeah.   I need a PPC versikon, right?
[11:38] <Wuffelz> it desent love me :*(
[11:38] <bipolar> howlingmadhowie: thanks for the help :)
[11:38] <Wuffelz> WHY DOESENT IT LOVE ME :'(
[11:38] <ubuntu_noob> Actually, nevermind.
[11:38] <Drk_Guy> !enter | Wuffelz
[11:38] <ubotu> Wuffelz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:38] <fyrestrtr> rockets: and amazingly, apt-cache didn't bring up any non-kde apps for 'file duplicates'
[11:38] <rockets> heh
[11:38] <nosmoke7804> what filesystem should I use for my ubuntu partition?
[11:39] <fyrestrtr> Wuffelz: you'll get some love from an op's boots if you keep that up.
[11:39] <Wuffelz> UBOTU!!
[11:39] <Drk_Guy> nosmoke7804: It depends on what do you want
[11:39] <Wuffelz> meh
[11:39] <georgy28> nosmoke7804, : ext3
[11:39] <Wuffelz> ill just get a proxy
[11:39] <Wuffelz> im out
[11:39] <fyrestrtr> nosmoke7804: what is wrong with the default fs?
[11:39] <Wuffelz> i came here to harass bots..
[11:39] <Wuffelz> they told me on the fedora forum..
[11:39] <nosmoke7804> I need to partition my hardisk for a dual boot with xp
[11:39] <Wuffelz> well

[11:39] <RaverWild> hello. first time trying to use firewall on linux. installed firestarter. problem is: could i command firewall to permit traffic from/to a certain application?
[11:39] <Wuffelz> ubuntu doesent like me or my ehd
[11:39] <Wuffelz> so im out!
[11:39] <fyrestrtr> !dual > nosmoke7804
[11:39] <Drk_Guy> With Ext3 you can't read your partition from Windowze (IFS Driver), but you get journaling
[11:39] <nosmoke7804> using partition magic i can choose different ones
[11:40] <ProN00b> how do i unpack a bunch of zip files to the same location ?
[11:40] <Xoris> Drk_Guy: oh yes you can
[11:40] <Drk_Guy> Nope
[11:40] <Xoris> Drk_Guy: ext3 is backwards-compatible with ext2... meaning, readable as ext2
[11:40] <Xoris> yep
[11:40] <PriceChild> Xoris, ?
[11:40] <Drk_Guy> I formatted my Linux partition as Ext3 and Windowze stopped reading ti
[11:40] <Drk_Guy> *it
[11:40] <gonzaloaf_work> hi. why I cant use "alsaconf" in ubuntu?
[11:40] <nosmoke7804> don't I need a swap disk also?
[11:41] <jrib> ProN00b: I would do:  cd /path/to/location; for file in /paths/to/bunch/of/zips; do unzip $file; done
[11:41] <Xoris> PriceChild, he's gone. but he said he'd just come back with a proxy, since he was told an op would have banned him if he went on
[11:41] <MasterShrek> Drk_Guy, dont use windows, and u wont have any problems :)
[11:41] <z1pp3r> im using the guide from the wiki about how to recover grub. Ive found and mounted my linux partition, but when i try to run "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/sda" it just stalls. What gives?
[11:41] <PriceChild> Xoris, ah i see now sorry :)
[11:41] <Drk_Guy> nosmoke7804: Let the installer do it's job
[11:41] <B3nne> Paradox34690, have you forgot me?
[11:41] <Paradox34690> B3nne: still here?
[11:41] <Paradox34690> heheh, nope, i haven't
[11:41] <nosmoke7804> Drk_Guy: isn't it better do that from windows xp?
[11:41] <Drk_Guy> MasterShrek: I only use Windowze in case sith happens
[11:41] <gonzaloaf_work> hi. why I cant use "alsaconf" in ubuntu?
[11:41] <nosmoke7804> If something goes wrong, nothing happends to my xp install...
[11:41] <Drk_Guy> No nosmoke7804
[11:42] <ChaosMachine> gonzaloaf_work what are you trying to conf in alsaconf?
[11:42] <Drk_Guy> gonzaloaf_work: Try using alsamixer
[11:42] <Drk_Guy> Or...
[11:42] <Xoris> Drk_Guy, i can read my ext3 partitions using ext2explorer or whatever it's called. not sure about the IFS driver, maybe it's bugged.
[11:42] <B3nne> Paradox34690, yeap
[11:42] <Cod1> I'm trying to start virtualbox, And I get some kind of permission error?
[11:42] <Paradox34690> B3nne: I'm looking at Asus's site for that board (P5VD2-VM) And unfortunately, it seems as though that board was designed specifically with MS Vista in mind... :(
[11:42] <Drk_Guy> There is a GUI for configuring alsa sound somewhere
[11:42] <ChaosMachine> Cod1 Start it with sudo?
[11:42] <jrib> Cod1: is your user a member of the "vboxusers" group?
[11:42] <gonzaloaf_work> Dragnslcr, ChaosMachine, In debian I used to use alsaconf to configure my soundcard
[11:43] <B3nne> i hate vista
[11:43] <Cod1> no jrib, how do I do that?
[11:43] <Drk_Guy> Xoris
[11:43] <Drk_Guy> Im with you B
[11:43] <Paradox34690> B3nne: The only 2 drivers that hey have for linux and that particular motherboard is for LAN and RAID...
[11:43] <Drk_Guy> B3nme
[11:43] <jrib> Cod1: sudo adduser YOUR_USERNAME vboxusers     and then logout and back in
[11:43] <fyrestrtr> gonzaloaf_work: install alsa-utils
[11:43] <gonzaloaf_work> fyrestrtr, I already have alsa-utils, but I cant find alsaconf
[11:43] <Cod1> how do I log back in / out
[11:43] <Cod1> just close the program?
[11:44] <boxrock___>  i'm having a problem w/7.04 hanging intermittently (console GUI hangs, net hangs, (shell commands work however)), anyone have clues on how to diagnose?
[11:44] <jrib> Cod1: system -> quit  I think
[11:44] <georgy28> gonzaloaf_work, : you have to install alsa-base or alsa-tools
[11:44] <Paradox34690> B3nne: I'm still looking though, cause it looks like there's a different version of that board too... OR you could check out S3's website (or VIA)
[11:44] <B3nne>  Paradox34690, i dont understand i had drivers for my graphic card before i re installed ubuntu.
[11:44] <fyrestrtr> boxrock___: run a memcheck
[11:45] <fyrestrtr> gonzaloaf_work: its in alsa-utils
[11:45] <boxrock___> fyrestrtr, i tried that, i'll try again...
[11:45] <gonzaloaf_work> georgy28, , I already have alsa-tools, but I cant find alsaconf
[11:45] <Paradox34690> B3nne: I got it! :)
[11:45] <fyrestrtr> boxrock___: are you using accelerated graphics / compiz ?
[11:45] <B3nne> Paradox34690, =)=)
[11:45] <gonzaloaf_work> fyrestrtr, but when I execute alsaconf, the command is not found
[11:45] <Megatron> hello, i need help with enabling SNMP in my Linksys WAG200G router anyone?
[11:45] <Drk_Guy> Xoris, give me a link for Ext2Explorer (If it's ain't in sourceforge, it's nowhere)
[11:46] <fyrestrtr> gonzaloaf_work: do you have a /usr/sbin/alsaconf ?
[11:46] <IndyLucian> How do I use apt-get to only download a peice of software with all necessary dependencies to a specific location on my drive?
[11:46] <clouder> What should I do when X stop responding completely and all I can do is move my mouse.  alt-ctrl-bkspace doesn't do anything and alt-ctrl-f1-12 doesn't do anything either.  All I can do is reboot, any other alternative?
[11:46] <gonzaloaf_work> fyrestrtr, alsa-utils, do not include alsaconf
[11:46] <Drk_Guy> Can anyone tell me the contents of an standard Feisty ISO
[11:46] <boxrock___> fyrestrtr, i tried loading VIA drivers (unsuccessfully) yesterday....
[11:46] <Xoris> Drk_Guy, the problem is that my connection is being extremely slow - like i can barely load google
[11:46] <gonzaloaf_work> fyrestrtr, nop
[11:46] <Drk_Guy> WoW
[11:46] <Xoris> Drk_Guy: uhm, explore2fs i think
[11:46] <gonzaloaf_work> fyrestrtr, I dont have it because alsa-utils doesnt include alsaconf
[11:46] <Drk_Guy> I'll goolge it
[11:47] <fyrestrtr> are you sure?
[11:47] <IndyLucian> ?
[11:47] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, strange.
[11:47] <Drk_Guy> Got it xoris
[11:47] <jrib> clouder: hold down alt-sysrq and press RSEIUB in sequence is a little nicer than just hitting reboot, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_Skinny_Elephants_Is_Utterly_Boring
[11:47] <Paradox34690> B3nne: Go to www.asus.com (for whatever language is native to you), go to 'download' at the top of the screen and on the next page, off to the left, search for P5VD2-VM SE.  You'll get some results that you can limit down to whatever OS you're using (linux). When you open up VGA, you'll see this:  VIA P4M900 VGA driver for Linux.    Here's a direct link: http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/vga/VIA/VIA_Chrome9_VGA_Linux.
[11:48] <jrib> clouder: I assume you can't actually click on stuff with the mouse
[11:48] <clouder> jrib: correct
[11:48] <B3nne> Paradox34690, thank you very very much, ;D
[11:48] <Bakefy> Hello, I am starting to work on a website that is entirely css and php.  My knowlege of both of them is below par.  Is there an editor that is suggested?  Currently I am just using "gedit"
[11:48] <georgy28> gonzaloaf_work, : after verification, alsaconf don't exist in a alsa package for ubuntu, strange !
[11:49] <Drk_Guy> Got it working now
[11:49] <Drk_Guy> Thanks Xoris
[11:49] <Drk_Guy> Good tip
[11:49] <Paradox34690> B3nne: No problem... Just do yourself a favor, burn that sucker off to cd or something so you don't ever lose it ;)
[11:49] <B3nne> ;)
[11:49] <needhelp> Hi, I have two computers connected to a router. One of them doesnt recieve an IP. How do I fix it ?
[11:49] <fyrestrtr> jrib: that's a good one.
[11:49] <Xoris> Drk_Guy: i wouldn't try to *write* to it in any case, just to be on the safe side
[11:49] <paradizelost> needhelp: could be several things
[11:49] <skinnypuppy_1334> Fiesty from dapper, now no browsing windows machines though they appear in the network. Try to open to see what is shared and get a message cannot display folder contents... any ideas?
[11:49] <fyrestrtr> needhelp: are they both ubuntu?
[11:49] <Drk_Guy> Thx for that tip too
[11:49] <needhelp> fyrestrtr: yes, both ubuntu 704
[11:50] <ChaosMachine> Bakefy there are many editors for linux that will highlight and color-code css and php, although I cant remember any examples (I think kate is one..) you'll have to do some searching and find one you like.
[11:50] <Paradox34690> B3nne: I hope that works out for you guy.  Enjoy!
[11:50] <ChaosMachine> Bakefy or you can just stick with good old gmacs.
[11:50] <paradizelost> ChaosMachine: ahve you tried gvim?
[11:50] <gonzaloaf_work> georgy28, yeah!, so how can I configure my sound in Ubuntu?
[11:50] <Drk_Guy> ChaosMachine: Geany highlights that kind of stuff
[11:50] <Bakefy> are there any out there that will try and autofill my tag?
[11:50] <Drk_Guy> It might be on sourceforge (I think)
[11:50] <skinnypuppy_1334> I have samba installed but can't see what is shared on windows xp computers on the lan. 7.04
[11:51] <Paradox34690> my work here is done for the day. Time to make dinner :D
[11:51] <ChaosMachine> paradizelost I have some old, bad experiances with vim and stay away from it. (dislike for old software dies hard, even as they upgrade by leaps and bounds.)
[11:51] <georgy28> gonzaloaf_work, : what card do you have ?
[11:51] <needhelp> Paradox34690: can you tell some things to look for? I've been trying now for 12 hours, both with wireless and cable
[11:51] <Bakefy> ChaosMachine, thanks.  Do you know of any that will operate close to Dreamweaver?
[11:51] <Borat> hey, does anyone know how to erase your wireless keys?
[11:51] <gonzaloaf_work> georgy28, I just want to know how to do it for all cases
[11:51] <Drk_Guy> ChaosMachine:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/geany
[11:51] <skinnypuppy_1334> Browsing an XP share from 7.04 on lan anyone?
[11:51] <fyrestrtr> Bakefy: try nvu and screem
[11:51] <Drk_Guy> Bakefy: Try using Wine on it
[11:52] <Drk_Guy> Or maybe Bluefish
[11:52] <Bakefy> thanks guys!
[11:52] <fyrestrtr> Bakefy: nvu and bluefish are two that are like dreamweaver.
[11:52] <ChaosMachine> Bakefy oh god no, much the wrong person to ask for that sort of thing. You cant take away my codeing and give me yucky gui and misplaced <div>s.
[11:52] <georgy28> gonzaloaf_work, : ho, I really don't know, just look at alsa-project.org to have some information
[11:52] <fyrestrtr> Bakefy: screem is specifically for web development.
[11:53] <Drk_Guy> Can anyone tell me the exact contents of an *STANDARD* Feisty ISO
[11:53] <Drk_Guy> =?
[11:53] <fyrestrtr> Drk_Guy: why?
[11:53] <skinnypuppy_1334> Anyone else have probs with feisty browsing XP shares on lan?
[11:53] <Drk_Guy> I'm confused
[11:53] <Bakefy> well I will just have to install them both!
[11:54] <Bakefy> thanks for the help.
[11:54] <Drk_Guy> My Ubuntu ISO is filled up with Obsolete Ubuntu Folders
[11:54] <boxrock___> skinnypuppy, did u try smbclient -L xp-ip-addr?
[11:54] <needhelp> Can someone please help me? I have two computers connected to a router. One of them doesnt recieve an IP. I've been trying both with wireless and with cable for 12 hours now, but neither works
[11:54] <CheeseGardner> Could someone give me a hand trying to recover this old windoze box?
[11:54] <Drk_Guy> I mean Tons of folders named "Ubuntu"
[11:54] <Drk_Guy> CheeseGardner: Give me 5
[11:54] <CheeseGardner> ok, I'll brb
[11:54] <CheeseGardner> gonna log in
[11:54] <skinnypuppy_1334> boxrock, no what does that command do? the xp box isn't static ip
[11:55] <Borat> hey, does anyone know how to erase your wireless keys?
[11:55] <Drk_Guy> CheeseGardener: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[11:55] <Drk_Guy> Hope that helps CheeseGardner
[11:56] <wousser> what is a commonly used python IDE for Linux?

[11:56] <kingKonqueror> Borat, they are under ~/.gnome2/ somewhere... lemme try to find the exact spot
[11:56] <Drk_Guy> CheeseGardener: What's up?
[11:56] <Drk_Guy> I might be able to help ya
[11:56] <CheeseGardener> IM me, so I don't take up the channel space.
[11:57] <Drk_Guy> Ok
[11:57] <CheeseGardener> Cause it could get text heavy.

[11:58] <deathnall> hey guys n gals
[11:59] <needhelp> Does anyone here know some about networking, or is this wrong channel?
[11:59] <deathnall> i have a question. how do i stop ubuntu from startingup with a crap resolution. i have to change it all the time in nvidia panel and its doing my head in?
[11:59] <jerkface03> Hey I'm trying to use the dialog command in bash to show up a dialog, but it keeps showing me a command not found message. My computer is running ubuntu server, does anyone know why this is happening?
[11:59] <cristy> could anyone give me a sugestion of a software that should help me to extract multiple .rar files resulted from downloading a torrent?
[11:59] <kitche> deathnall: your not saving your resolution in nvidia-settins most likely
[11:59] <cristy> i've tried with unrar but it doesn't work
[11:59] <Xoris> cristy: just script it
[12:00] <Borat> kingKonqueror, thanks for helping
[12:00] <hjmills> wousser, use plugins for whatever editor you use to make it fit how you work. Plugins rule...
[12:00] <erUSUL> !unrar | cristy
[12:00] <ubotu> cristy: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[12:00] <deathnall> i do save them but i heard i need to change the ubuntu file or sumin
[12:00] <Xoris> crimsun: yes it does... for File in *.rar; do unrar x "$File"; done
