[04:44] <bofh80> dunn357, what out of the PC or out of the box?
[04:44] <dunn357> i will try changing cable again tho
[04:44] <dunn357> brb
[04:44] <richiefrich> Hamled: but yeah thats a package managers job..well a good one
[04:44] <fab3> dunn357 definately possible.  itsounds like you eliminated the normal software related issues.  you haveto now have a spare cable and spare nic to remove those variables from the equation
[04:44] <mneptok> dunn357: try a different port on the router.
[04:44] <fab3> a lot of times its the stupidest thing
[04:44] <bofh80> dunn357, wiggle the bloody lead in the socket till the light comes on man!!!
[04:44] <StratPlayer> fab3: i haven't changed my config, just upgraded kernel to linux-image-2.6.24-19-rt_2.6.24-19.41 - rebooted, no more masquerading...
[04:44] <Hamled> richiefrich, well, maybe it's been around for a while, I know I never noticed it until 8.04
[04:44] <dunn357> i will try different port with different cable, and a few such combinations and get back to you
[04:45] <dunn357> but what am i looking for?
[04:45] <dunn357> green circle top right?
[04:45] <droopsta915> wh cter goes to hibernate mode, i cant get it started again? whats the deal?
[04:45] <fab3> StratPlayer boot back into the other kernel and test?
[04:45] <dunn357> or just lights to come on?
[04:45] <bofh80> dunn357, wiggle the lead till the LIGHT on the router comes on
[04:45] <fab3> sorry its a non answer, just throwing it out there
[04:45] <bofh80> dunn357, we can't help till that happens at least :P
[04:45] <dunn357> gotcha! wil try taht now
[04:45] <droopsta915> when my computer goes to hibernate mode, i cant get it started again? whats the deal?
[04:46] <pan> anyone know how to load multiple xserver?
[04:46] <richiefrich> droopsta915: acpi is messed up
[04:46] <coderipper1983_> i have the same prob. just stopped it from hibernating
[04:46] <richiefrich> droopsta915: fix the scripts
[04:46] <pan> xserver xinit -- :1  ?
[04:46] <richiefrich> pan: why not startx
[04:46] <richiefrich> does the samething
[04:47] <richiefrich> pan: ooh multiable... xnest  or startx -- :2
[04:47] <droopsta915> ricjiefrich: where are the scripts for this ?
[04:47] <richiefrich> droopsta915: /etc/acpi/  for me
[04:47] <richiefrich> droopsta915: but im not on ubnutu
[04:47] <fab3> gdmflexiserver --xnest will do it
[04:47] <droopsta915> ill look around thanx
[04:47] <richiefrich> droopsta915: should be there
[04:48] <bofh80> pan, in what sense? multiple xserver in different ALT+ctrl+fx or multiple monitors? or what?
[04:48] <dunn357> tried changing cables, changing ports, mixing and matching, nothing
[04:48] <pan> i actually no thing about it just felt like giving it a shot
[04:48] <fab3> change the nic?
[04:48] <pan> i know f7 is display 0
[04:48] <bofh80> dunn357, did ya try wigglin the damn lead in the back of the pc
[04:48] <pan> f8 is display1
[04:48] <richiefrich> no it doesnt have to be
[04:48] <dunn357> thanks for all your help and time guys, im going to have to try changing the NIC but i dont have one handy atm, really though thanks for your time and effort
[04:48] <dunn357> bofh80, yeah :C
[04:48] <richiefrich> no it doesnt have to be ... pan
[04:49] <richiefrich> pan: that all depends on your /etc/inittab
[04:49] <pan> i c
[04:49] <bofh80> dunn357, ag well. hopefully you'll have some luck later :S
[04:49] <pan> so im able to load fluxbox and gnome?
[04:49] <richiefrich> you can yeah
[04:49] <coderipper1983_> hit it with a hammer!!!
[04:49] <pan> thats wat im aiming for
[04:49] <richiefrich> pan: but if you do it with startx make sure you use two differnet configs
[04:50] <richiefrich> pan: ~/.xinitrc   foro one and something else for 2
[04:50] <pan> i c
[04:50] <bofh80> richiefrich, couldn't he just log on to the gdm on each selecting his session preference
[04:50] <chare> i have downloaded the ubuntu dvd image which is an archive....how to install it?
[04:50] <richiefrich> pan: if not you will load two gnomes or whatever is in that file
[04:50] <richiefrich> bofh80: you can only have on gdm open
[04:50] <coderipper1983_> burn the image to a dvd
[04:51] <bofh80> richiefrich, ohh. good to know :)
[04:51] <richiefrich> bofh80: if he is using the  same user no i dont thin so
[04:51] <dunn357> thanks anyways guys, i will try to connect xbox to back of router with same cable (i just want to see those lights come on, make sure back ports didnt bust in the last few hours and make sure cable is OK)
[04:51] <richiefrich> bofh80: if he has multiple users he can load many WM.DE
[04:51] <droopsta915> i looked at the hibernate script, but dont see the problem, is there any downloads that i can get to fix the problem
[04:51] <richiefrich> bofh80: startx is eaiser and it removes that other layer
[04:51] <dunn357> il let you know if XBOX doesnt work too so we kno what the problem is, tho i suppose it will
[04:52] <pan> xinitrc doesn't exist?
[04:52] <chare> sorry got disconnected..its an archive file not image..
[04:52] <richiefrich> pan: you can test in your 1st session with.. xnest
[04:52] <pan> ok
[04:52] <richiefrich> pan: well create it thats the startx config
[04:52] <Mecha25> what's the ubottu channel again?
[04:52] <Mecha25> oh nevermind
[04:52] <richiefrich> pan: and it is .xinitrc
[04:52] <coderipper1983_> what archive format is it in???
[04:53] <wers> why do I have a weird white line on awn?
[04:53] <hml> is there a way t disable a laptp's physical keybard?

[05:01] <richiefrich> chare: mkisofs
[05:01] <richiefrich> chare: thats what you need .... or the rar file i bet is an iso
[05:01] <Theaxiom> Thanks guys
[05:01] <richiefrich> chare: file FOO
[05:02] <Vialas> can someone explain how dns works, how is it that i can get my comp to resolve a address
[05:02] <dam0> mkartic: are u using package manager/
[05:02] <mkartic> nope,  CLI :)
[05:02] <mkartic> terminal, i mean
[05:02] <coderipper1983_> !dns
[05:02] <chare> coderipper1983_: dont remember..its size is 3.91 gb
[05:02] <dam0> ok
[05:02] <mkartic> i've downloaded the tar.bz2 file for v2.5.0
[05:02] <Vialas> i inderstand that, thanks coderipper1983_
[05:02] <Vialas> but how do i actualy get my comp to have its own address
[05:03] <coderipper1983_> just playing
[05:03] <richiefrich> Vialas: it searches for that name on servers from your isp or servers you setup or servers that you set to us
[05:03] <Cpudan80> Vialas: it's pretty complicated, but basically your computer contacts a series of other computers that know more about the network than your computer
[05:03] <chare> coderipper1983_:will it work if i convert it to an iso image ?
[05:03] <Vialas> yes
[05:03] <coderipper1983_> yes
[05:03] <Cpudan80> Vialas: Eventually one of the higher level computers (or routers) spits back the IP
[05:03] <Vialas> so how do i make www.vialas.com go to my computer
[05:03] <Vialas> for example
[05:03] <hml> richiefrich: /etc/init.d/gdm restart <-- still desn't wrk
[05:03] <Cpudan80> if you registered that domain, yes
[05:03] <Vialas> what about for an internal network?
[05:03] <Cpudan80> You don't have the authority to alter the .COM DNS though
[05:03] <richiefrich> hml: no you wanna  # the one in Serverlayout
[05:04] <coderipper1983_> i think you have to register that domain for it even to work.
[05:04] <bofh80> Vialas, you can edit your hosts file
[05:04] <hml> richiefrich: i have cmented them all ut
[05:04] <richiefrich> Vialas: install and setup bind
[05:04] <hml> ls
[05:04] <richiefrich> Vialas: and or use everydns
[05:04] <bofh80> Vialas, sudo gedit /etc/hosts
[05:04] <Cpudan80> Vialas: better way would be to edit the hosts file on your DNS server to add that in
[05:04] <Vialas> ok
[05:04] <richiefrich> hml: no you didnt
[05:05] <Cpudan80> err well - edit the DNS cache that it maintains -- add a static entry
[05:05] <richiefrich> Cpudan80: but if he wants to goto http://FOO  that hosts file wont help hiom
[05:05] <Cpudan80> sure it will
[05:05] <Vialas> any tips on where i can get a guide to do that?
[05:05] <Vialas> (as you can tell im new to all this!)
[05:06] <Cpudan80> He needs to tell his DNS server that http://FOO goes to whatever IP
[05:06] <richiefrich> Cpudan80: he needs a dns server or use like godaddy.. or like buy the doamin 1st
[05:06] <richiefrich> Cpudan80: /etc/hosts is not a ns server
[05:06] <richiefrich> dns
[05:06] <Cpudan80> I know that
[05:06] <Cpudan80> He needs to edit the file on the DNS server
[05:06] <richiefrich> what you told him was wrong
[05:06] <Cpudan80> No it was not wrong
[05:06] <Jakob_the_liar> is there a command line messenger program that can connect to msn and yahoo?
[05:07] <Cpudan80> A DNS server has its own cache of data
[05:07] <Vialas> ok let me explain so you get a better picture
[05:07] <richiefrich> Jakob_the_liar: bitlbee
[05:07] <Vialas> i currenly have a website on server 2000
[05:07] <Vialas> it has a website
[05:07] <Cpudan80> Some cheap ones use their own /etc/hosts file
[05:07] <richiefrich> Vialas: k
[05:07] <Vialas> and you can view it from an external site
[05:07] <Vialas> i want to use the same website
[05:07] <Vialas> onto my new server
[05:07] <Vialas> i will then take down the windows one
[05:07] <Vialas> and impliment the ubuntu one
[05:07] <Jakob_the_liar> how do i make apt-cache search search for exact phrases
[05:07] <richiefrich> so  you want a vhost?
[05:07] <Cpudan80> so you just call up your domain registrant and have them point the record over
[05:08] <Vialas> oh ok
[05:08] <Jakob_the_liar> even if i quote it still looks up everything
[05:08] <Vialas> cool
[05:08] <mkartic> i've figured it out, thanks
[05:08] <richiefrich> Vialas: ooh ok so you want to setup apache
[05:08] <Cpudan80> Or you give your ubuntu server the same IP as the windows one
[05:08] <bofh80> Vialas, is your 200 box in your own internal local network?
[05:08] <Cpudan80> take the windows one offline first of course
[05:08] <Vialas> yes in my own internal
[05:08] <richiefrich> Cpudan80: then lan wont matter unless he has a dns server
[05:08] <bofh80> Vialas, then you have a router that connects the net for it?
[05:08] <djhash> lol.. this is becoming the networking channel..
[05:08] <Vialas> and then somewhere along the line the UNI (its a uni website) sends it so external can see
[05:08] <bofh80> Vialas, and the ubuntu box will be connected to the same router?
[05:08] <richiefrich> Vialas: jst port forward to the linux  box
[05:09] <Cpudan80> richiefrich: Right - as I said - edit the DNS server so that it has a static entry over to whatever the URL was
[05:09] <Vialas> yes that is correct richiefrich
[05:09] <bofh80> Vialas, you change the port forward from the router, change it to forward to the ubuntu IP instead of the Windows one for POrt 80
[05:09] <Vialas> cool :D
[05:09] <richiefrich> Vialas: setup apache on linux and copy your info to that box .. on your router port forward to the linux box.. no dns needed changing
[05:09] <richiefrich> Vialas: unless
[05:10] <richiefrich> you are running your own dns server
[05:10] <Vialas> k
[05:10] <richiefrich> if you are using like godaday
[05:10] <richiefrich> godaddy
[05:10] <Vialas> thanks for your help!!!!
[05:10] <richiefrich> it doesnt matter what is on your lan
[05:10] <Vialas> ok
[05:10] <richiefrich> just portforward correctly
[05:10] <coderipper1983_> isnt vialis the woman horny pill???
[05:10] <coderipper1983_> wait thats cialis
[05:10] <Vialas> i hope not!!!
[05:10] <Cpudan80> !ops
[05:10] <Vialas> lol or im changing my nic
[05:10] <Vialas> lol
[05:11] <coderipper1983_> lol
[05:11] <Vialas> altho it could be good, im that hot, i make women horny :P
[05:11] <Vialas> haha
[05:11] <Cpudan80> guys...
[05:11] <Cpudan80> come on now
[05:11] <Vialas> one more q guys..
[05:11] <richiefrich> k
[05:11] <Vialas> anyone know anyhting about mysql, i cant get a command to work
[05:11] <seb90210> good eve
[05:11] <Vialas> hi there
[05:11] <richiefrich> Vialas: they have great docs
[05:11] <nalioth> let us stay on topic
[05:11] <djhash> Vialas: what are you trying to do?
[05:11] <richiefrich> Vialas: i know what i use
[05:12] <Vialas> im following a guide: to add a new accont for mysql
[05:12] <bitfrost> hi :)
[05:12] <richiefrich> ok
[05:12] <richiefrich> Vialas: and didi you set a root password
[05:12] <seb90210> each time i run vmware (which runs fine btw) my keyboard gets screwed up, each keypress cancels any open application
[05:12] <bitfrost> may someboy help me I have intel 945GME but i don´t have 3D acceleration
[05:12] <djhash> Vialas: what is the command you are using and what is the output ur getting
[05:13] <Vialas> i set root when i installed it
[05:13] <bitfrost> X says i915 doesn't exist
[05:13] <bitfrost> '
[05:14] <pan> i got fluxbox to run while running gnome
[05:14] <pan> fluxbox running in display 1
[05:14] <richiefrich> pan: :D
[05:14] <pan> but
[05:14] <pan> i can't get gnome running in fluxbox
[05:14] <pan> the other way around
[05:14] <pan> all i had to type in was startfluxbox
[05:14] <pan> but right now im in fluxbox
[05:14] <seb90210> pan wtf
[05:14] <pan> i wonder if i can do it the other way around?
[05:15] <zcat[1]> !res
[05:16] <seb90210> pan it's either gnome or fluxbox or kde or whatever they dont run from within one another
[05:16] <pan> i ran both
[05:16] <pan> thats wat im trying to say
[05:16] <Molochnik> hi all!
[05:16] <richiefrich> pan: use xnest
[05:16] <pan> xnest doesn't seem to work
[05:16] <pan> sudo apt-get install xnest?
[05:17] <Molochnik> who know how to unisntall kubuntu with kde4 ?
[05:17] <Molochnik> i'am install gobuntu-desktop
[05:17] <seb90210> xnest doesnt give you the full capability, like vnc
[05:18] <Molochnik> sudo aptitude purge kde4 ?
[05:18] <DOT3CH> can someone help me to get a custom splash screen installed
[05:18] <fab3> uh
[05:19] <fab3> xnest is a full xsession
[05:19] <seb90210> std desktop w/o hw accel yes but whats the point
[05:19] <fab3> xnest gives you more than vnc
[05:19] <fab3> vinc is a horrible hack that barely works
[05:19] <seb90210> might as well virtualise
[05:19] <bofh80> xdmcp is far superior to vnc
[05:20] <unop> xdcmp is bloat
[05:20] <fab3> uh no
[05:20] <unop> uh yes
[05:20] <fab3> lol your not too clear on how any of this works, are ya?
[05:20] <bofh80> unop, that's what a lan connections for. otherwise NX works just great
[05:20] <red_team316> since you're on the subject of xnest. Does anyone know how to start a chrooted X in xnest or Xephyr? I just cant seem to get it to work.
[05:21] <fab3> if you want to critique xdmcp for anything, you can do it for being chatty
[05:21] <nirupama> I have a bootlogo cpio archive
[05:21] <nirupama> how to extract it and see what is inside
[05:21] <fab3> its rather inefficient bandwidthwise, but that can be fixed by putting a proxy between x and the network
[05:21] <unop> fab3, vnc is much more optimised for the job than xdcmp is .. if you'd like.. try and use it over the internet :)
[05:21] <dextone> bbl init 6
[05:21] <fab3> ideally x would have something like that built in and run nice and smooth
[05:21] <dam0> is there a alternative to xchat on ubunta?
[05:22] <fab3> unop i understand what you are saying
[05:22] <bofh80> unop, as a remote control over the NET VNC is crap. bottom of the barrel
[05:22] <imthenachoman> does ubuntu live cd offer any gui ftp clients and/or a ftp deamon?
[05:22] <unop> fab3, ;) i do know what i am talking about
[05:22] <imthenachoman> i cant find it in the docs
[05:22] <fab3> however your overgeneralization suggests that you con't know wht vnc actually is in comparison to xdmcp
[05:22] <fab3> they are different things
[05:22] <unop> fab3, sure they are -- and i can justify my stance on xdcmp being the way it is
[05:23] <fab3> x is fare superior conceptually.  it simply stagnated for so many years that the protocol it self is simply chatty
[05:23] <fab3> no has anything to justify anything to you
[05:23] <BoltClock> hi, there seems to be a Recommended update (for virtualbox-ose-modules-generic) in my update manager that has always been greyed out and i cant remove from the manager's list. how do i get rid of it?
[05:23] <fab3> you can stick forks up your ass for all anyoe cares
[05:23] <unop> fab3, language
[05:23] <red_team316> I have it too, but is says BREAK
[05:23] <fab3> the point is x simply isn't optimised yet and that is true
[05:23] <bofh80> unop, VNC is worse than pcanywhere, which says everything, you want decent remote control over low bandwith, the term is NETOP and nothing else
[05:24] <lars_bauer> how do i install XMLStarlet
[05:24] <unop> bofh80, ok ok .. let's forget this debate, it's offtopic
[05:24] <puff> Can anybody help me troubleshoot why this external USB drive isn't showing up?
[05:24] <Amerikan> Hi, how do I change the permissions of a partition? its in ext3
[05:25] <unop> Amerikan, what kind of data on it?
[05:25] <fab3> sudo chown and sudo chmod
[05:25] <Amerikan> unop: None really. 3 folders. one document
[05:25] <puff> Anyone?
[05:25] <unop> Amerikan, sudo chown -R $USER.$USER /path/to/mount_point
[05:25] <bofh80> puff, does dmesg report anything when you plug it in / disconnect it
[05:26] <fab3> puff the typical answer for me is a problem with the file system
[05:26] <fab3> puff does it mount on other machines maybe?
[05:26] <fab3> you could do sudo fstab -l and see if its visible on the system
[05:26] <Gnea> bofh80: what is NETOP?
[05:27] <n3m0> anyone know if you can encrypt your ubuntu partition after install is done without it in Hardy?
[05:27] <unop> fstab -l ?? my lord!!
[05:27] <Amerikan> unop:  I can't find the mount point
[05:27] <coderipper1983_> what is the command to pull up video hardware
[05:27] <puff> bofh80: Yes, but I can't see it mounting. http://pastebin.com/d7fcb613a
[05:27] <unop> fab3, you want to review your command.
[05:27] <fab3> lol haha
[05:27] <unop> Amerikan, maybe it isn't mounted yet?
[05:27] <fab3> sudo fdisk -l anyway
[05:27] <unop> fab3, seriously, fstab is not a command eh
[05:27] <bofh80> Gnea, netop remote control.  if you can find it, look up danware, a reseller
[05:28] <ianm_> anyone else seeing firefox crash EVERY TIME on dailyshow.com ?
[05:28] <fab3> i dub theee CAPTAIN OBVIOUS
[05:28] <fab3> yey
[05:28] <chuy_max> n3m0, I don't think so
[05:28] <n3m0> chuy_max in that case what would you recommend for individual files
[05:28] <Gnea> bofh80: oh, it's not open source?
[05:29] <Amerikan> unop:  Is there anyway to see if it works
[05:29] <chuy_max> n3m0, you can encrypt those files, or shrink your partition, and create a new encrypted partition
[05:29] <bofh80> Gnea, no, there is a linux version, unfortunately there are hardly any multy platform, "remote control" programs. that are decent. this is the 'fastest' remote control on earth
[05:30] <unop> Amerikan, use this command to check if the device is mounted.  mount
[05:30] <puff> bofh80: Ah, more error info showed up in dmesg out put:
[05:30] <bofh80> Gnea, barely any of the decent ones are free unfortunaltey, that's why people shout about vnc - ugh.
[05:30] <Gnea> bofh80: claiming that it's the fastest out of anything else, seems a bit too bold... thanks, but no thanks.
[05:30] <puff> bofh80: http://pastebin.com/d31480a1a
[05:30] <BoltClock> hi, there seems to be a Recommended update (for virtualbox-ose-modules-generic) in my update manager that has always been greyed out and i cant remove from the manager's list. how do i get rid of it?
[05:30] <Amerikan> It is mounted. I think it worked unop :)
[05:30] <Gnea> ianm_: works fine here
[05:31] <bofh80> Gnea, it's from experience, and i mean experience, i've tested everything out of the box, and i mean everything. this thing works like local over dial up speeds. incredulous
[05:31] <unop> Amerikan, right, so now use the chown command on the mount point
[05:31] <Dryanta> oh noes
[05:31] <Amerikan> unop: I know, I did it all . Thank you very much
[05:31] <Dryanta> playback in rhythmbox is not working
[05:31] <egc> hi all, is there a linux command i can use that will create a zip file for a windows user?
[05:31] <Dryanta> anyone seen that?
[05:31] <jadams__> so I just got a 32" LCD TV in and my media center's connected to it.  I can't get video to come up on it, and I'm so, so very eager.  Will someone help me?
[05:31] <n3m0> chuy_max thanx I appreciate it, i think im going to give dm-crpyt a try
[05:32] <unop> egc, you can use tar or zip.
[05:32] <bofh80> puff, ok i'm not sure. someone else maybe have a look -  who else awas helpin
[05:32] <BoltClock> !zip | egc
[05:32] <egc> unop: will a windows user be able to untar a tarball?
[05:32] <fab3> jadams get a properly supported video card like hauppage
[05:32] <unop> egc, if he uses winzip or winrar, sure
[05:32] <Gnea> bofh80: yes, well, i can see you're very enthused about it. perhaps you could be so kind as to redirect that enthusiasm toward solving some more important problems. :)
[05:32] <ianm_> jadams__: got room on your couch??
[05:32] <jadams__> fab3, no, it's a vga connector
[05:33] <BoltClock> unop: winzip -can- handle tarballs? never knew :O
[05:33] <jadams__> ianm_, it's a huge couch
[05:33] <bofh80> Gnea, well you asked. when you say enthused, i hardly breathed a word till you asked.
[05:33] <unop> BoltClock, been that way since v8
[05:33] <bitfros1> Hi I have an Acer One with intel 945GME chipset but I don't have 3d acceleration
[05:33] <unop> BoltClock, or perhaps older than that even..
[05:33] <bitfros1> can somebody help me?
[05:33] <Dryanta> audio is fine in firefox
[05:33] <jadams__> let me rephrase.  I get video during the BIOS boot, but as soon as it hits the linux kernel there's no video from then on out...
[05:34] <Dryanta> but not working on rhythmbox
[05:34] <Gnea> bitfros1: what video driver are you using right now? vesa?
[05:34] <BoltClock> unop: wow. then i guess its nags are the only reason i abandoned it.
[05:34] <matrix> hi i just bought new corsair usb flash drive using on ubuntu gutsy today stopped wrking after 2 weeks
[05:34] <CarlFK> gdebi linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic_2.6.26-5.13ecdbg_i386.deb says "This package is uninstallable; A later version is already installed"
[05:34] <CarlFK> how do I force it?
[05:34] <fab3> jadams__ it doesn't mean that on whatever vid card the vga connectors existthat the vid out is supported
[05:34] <fab3> maybe, maybe  not
[05:34] <puff> fab3: Well, if I can get it mounted on *anything* long enough to nuke the drive, that's good enough.
[05:34] <fab3> what vid card?
[05:34] <bitfros1> Gnea: no "intel", when i try i950 or i915 it says it does not exists on xorg logs
[05:34] <jadams__> fab3, it's an nvidia card
[05:35] <coderipper1983_> bitfros1 has installed the intel driver and ubuntu sees it but he still has no 3d
[05:35] <jadams__> it can handle the resolution
[05:35] <matrix> here is my /var/log/messages
[05:35] <egc> unop: cool, thanks
[05:35] <jadams__> the tv can handle any resolution
[05:35] <unop> CarlFK, try using dpkg at the command line.  sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic_2.6.26-5.13ecdbg_i386.deb
[05:35] <jadams__> it would take 640x480

[05:35] <unop> CarlFK, though it seems abnormal to install an older version of a kernel
[05:35] <bitfros1> oops matrix should have use pastebin
[05:35] <fab3> i have no idea to what degree nvidia supports vga out on their cards
[05:35] <fab3> google it
[05:36] <Gnea> bitfros1: check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766381
[05:36] <Gnea> oops
[05:36] <jadams__> fab3, seriously, vga is what computer monitors use dude...what are you talking about?
[05:36] <jadams__> it's just a standard connector, like on any damn crt
[05:36] <CarlFK> unop: I am testing 2 different things, the older thing is a fork
[05:36] <puff> Hm, okay, it appears to be mounting on a winxp machine.
[05:36] <bitfros1> Gnea thats right I do the steps there but no luck yet
[05:36] <fab3> jadams__ lol appearently i'm on drugs
[05:36] <fab3> lol
[05:36] <CarlFK> unop:  sudo dpkg -i  is working. thanks
[05:36] <puff> Anybody gotta recommendation for nuking something from windows?
[05:36] <bofh80> jadams, have you left it a while to check that it doesn't come up eventually?
[05:36] <coderipper1983_> yes a hammer
[05:37] <bitfros1> hahahaha
[05:37] <Gnea> bitfros1: you've read this onealready?
[05:37] <bitfros1> yes Gnea
[05:37] <bofh80> jadams, i've seen ubuntu black screen boot a few times on certain machines, monitors etc
[05:37] <Gnea> puff: a paperclip
[05:37] <bitfros1> coderipper1983_ LOL
[05:38] <matrix> can anyone help pinpoint error on my new usb flash drive
[05:38] <Gnea> puff: you might want to ask in #windows
[05:38] <coderipper1983_> whats the error
[05:38] <Gnea> !pastebin | matrix
[05:38] <matrix> well it just stopped working in ubuntu gutsy
[05:38] <puff> Gnea: Hey, I was *trying* to do it under ubuntu, but ubuntu won't mount it.
[05:38] <bitfros1> matrix try using pastebin so the bot don't ban you
[05:39] <Gnea> puff: i must have missed something - ubuntu won't mount 'what'?
[05:39] <bofh80> puff, when you say nuke, you mean you wantt o perminatly delte the file or something?
[05:39] <coderipper1983_> im still wanna know whats up with the flash drive
[05:39] <matrix> it is a new crosair 8 gig flash drive
[05:40] <matrix> everything worked fine
[05:40] <Gnea> matrix: what happens when you plug it in?
[05:40] <matrix> i have other flash drives work fine
[05:40] <lopin> Hello! I appear to be having a problem with Internet Connectivity.  Certain Applications can connect, while others can't.  Sometimes, even only certain parts of an application can connect.  it's getting really annoying.  Can anyone help me?
[05:40] <bofh80> how long you had it for?
[05:40] <Gnea> matrix: are you plugging it into a USB port on the computer, or into a USB hub?
[05:40] <matrix> but this new one just stopped after 2 weeks
[05:40] <puff> Gnea: Yes, you missed something. I have my old ubuntu drive in a USB caddy. It mounted last week and I backed up my old data.  Now I need to  sanitize the drive and send it back (it was replaced under warranty) and it won't mount so I can't overwrite it.
[05:41] <fab3> matrix they do die
[05:41] <matrix> i tried different ports but i do plug it into computer
[05:41] <fab3> i've had brand new ones die
[05:41] <fab3> matrix maybe just the file system is hose
[05:41] <matrix> yes but 2 weeks use it was brand new
[05:41] <Gnea> matrix: have you disconnected every other usb device and plugged only that one in?
[05:41] <fab3> you may just need to format it in fat32 again
[05:41] <matrix> fab3 i think u right
[05:41] <croddy> puff, if you just want to nuke the drive you can do that with 'wipe' without mounting the filesystem
[05:41] <bitfros1> Gnea this is my Xorg.0.log output http://paste.ubuntu.com/41120/
[05:41] <matrix> problem is when i do a fdisk -l i dosent show up anymore
[05:42] <croddy> puff, apt-get install wipe and then use fdisk -l to find the device name once it's plugged in. wipe the disk with 'wipe -kq /dev/foo'
[05:42] <bofh80> puff, is this drive being sent back as faulty?
[05:42] <matrix> croddy i will try that thanks
[05:42] <Gnea> puff: it doesn't need to mount to overwrite - you can just: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whateveritis, or download and use DBAN
[05:42] <puff> bofh80: Yes.
[05:42] <croddy> if that doesn't work, then it's probably too far gone for you to wipe it.
[05:42] <bofh80> puff, have you got a carpet?
[05:42] <puff> bofh80:  I have my old ubuntu drive in a USB caddy. It mounted last week and I backed up my old data.  Now I need to  sanitize the drive and send it back (it was replaced under warranty) and it won't mount so I can't overwrite it.
[05:42] <puff> bofh80: It just mounted under winxp, tho.  Hm.
[05:42] <puff> bofh80: A carpet??
[05:42] <croddy> in the future, consider full-disk encryption so the need to sanitize is less urgent.
[05:42] <bofh80> puff, throw the drive in the air and let it hit your carpet
[05:42] <lopin> For example, Firefox is having dificulties using anything AJAXy on a web page.
[05:42] <bofh80> :D
[05:43] <RenatoSilva> how to run a gnome terminal passing the code page I want to use?
[05:43] <croddy> if it's a magnetic disk such as a hard drive, you can degauss it with a bulk eraser or with extended exposure to a large magnet.
[05:43] <puff> Gnea, croddy, the problem was, I wasn't seeing anything in dmesg otuput that would tell me what /dev/sdX should be.
[05:43] <lopin> Thunderbird refuses to connect to google, as does pidgin, as it's disconnecting me from GoogleTalk every 20 seconds.
[05:43] <RenatoSilva> like $gnome-terminal --charset=iso-8859-1
[05:43] <malianx> is it ajax that's causing all the slowdowns?
[05:43] <croddy> puff, in that case it's probably too far gone and you'll need magnets.
[05:43] <lopin> VMware can't access the internet.
[05:43] <RenatoSilva> or charset=cp850
[05:44] <bofh80> puff, if the drive is being replaced as faulty, rubber mallet is good industry, otherwise, air and carpet work well, as it leaves no physical marks
[05:44] <bofh80> you want to drop it flat like
[05:44] <croddy> bofh80, i've dropped a WD raptor onto asphalt from 50 feet numerous times -- you'd be amazed just how sturdy those little cases are
[05:44] <coderipper1983_> lopin : have you called your isp to see if they are screwing with the system???
[05:44] <matrix> yes but i dant even see it in ubuntu it dosent show up anymore
[05:44] <lopin> Filezilla couldn't connect to my work SFTP server all of a sudden one day, when no one changed any settings on th ework server...
[05:44] <malianx> doesn't fire work?
[05:44] <puff> Hm....
[05:44] <mm2000_laptop> Hi there, I just want to confirm this.. On a "default system" in this case ubuntu you can access to root in mysql without password. But this is only for localhost, right
[05:44] <lopin> coderipper1983_, You think this could just be ISP?
[05:44] <bofh80> croddy, well that's a raptor
[05:45] <croddy> malianx, yes, you can heat the media to its curie point but that is unlikely to please the disk maker when he opens it to approve your RMA
[05:45] <bofh80> croddy, 15 or 18k rpm
[05:45] <croddy> bofh80, it was a 10k
[05:45] <genii> Any way to mount a subpartition of a dd image?
[05:45] <coderipper1983_> yup, give it a try. with the randomness of the problem it may be on there end
[05:45] <malianx> croddy: but it'd be fun
[05:45] <croddy> indeed it would
[05:46] <lopin> coderipper1983_, Okay, thanks...
[05:46] <bofh80> puff, doo IT man, don't they expect a f**ked drive in the post anyway?
[05:46] <CarlFK> genii: yes.  loopback, with some offset option... leme googole
[05:46] <coderipper1983_> BURN IT!!
[05:46] <croddy> i think they expect a disk with minor electronic failure, not gross physical trauma
[05:47] <malianx> if it needs to look faulty use magnets, if it doesn't matter then snap the connectors off with a cable
[05:47] <bofh80> croddy, they've never complained before :S
[05:47] <croddy> and if they do, you turn the halon on them, yeah?
[05:47] <genii> CarlFK: Thanks
[05:47] <seb90210> with enough intoxication ubuntu becomes nicer, although it is good that whole plseaudio thing threw me off
[05:47] <wizzer> hmm, amarok keeps failing to send tracks to last.fm
[05:47] <bofh80> croddy, beisdes if you order the disks under warranty and then find out, it's the scsi controller, what else are you gonna do
[05:47] <bofh80> :)
[05:47] <NemesisD> hi all, trying to compile overclocking support on my eee. i installed build essentials but when i try to compile the module, i get: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[05:48] <fab3> or, just toss it and buy another?
[05:48] <bofh80> halon works wonders
[05:48] <puff> bofh80: Well,I'll go have some drinks and see if it seems like a good idea when I get home :-).
[05:48] <bofh80> gghhahah
[05:48] <CarlFK> genii: I have done it, it is indeed something like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=711773 - if that doesn't help, it should give you what you need for more google
[05:48] <bofh80> it's just like putting the mat on a prisioner before getting the batons out
[05:48] <seb90210> doesnt hold a candle to slackware
[05:49] <croddy> slackware's "packaging system" is prehistoric
[05:49] <genii> CarlFK: Great for a starting point, thanks
[05:49] <fLufyz> hye
[05:49] <seb90210> overclocking is in the bios
[05:49] <coderipper1983_> open the drive and take a butaine torch to it then put it back together
[05:49] <wizzer> i prefer propane torches myself
[05:49] <Dabbu> when i open "Azureus magnet link" in firefox it say   " Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program."

[05:50] <FarmCretin> hi, im using ubuntu server edition and would like to create a new user for my friend to access. how can i do it?
[05:50] <seb90210> useradd
[05:50] <fab3> adduser
[05:50] <croddy> FarmCretin, system->administration->users and groups, or run 'adduser'
[05:50] <FarmCretin> ubuntu server is CLI
[05:50] <seb90210> useradd
[05:50] <CarlFK> FarmCretin: "access" is a bit vauge.
[05:50] <masum> blist
[05:50] <masum> !list
[05:50] <masum> !ping me
[05:50] <bofh80> if you have a grpahical interface, you can use System > Administraion > Users and Groups
[05:50] <freeflowcauvery> NemesisD, /lib/modules/<kernel>/build is usually a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux-headers... check to see if you have that file in /usr/src
[05:50] <Dabbu> !magnet
[05:50] <FarmCretin> i only want him to be able to access a few select folders
[05:51] <seb90210> whatever, 11 years of linux and ppl looking iconify stuff
[05:51] <FarmCretin> ssh
[05:51] <matrix> thanks
[05:51] <bofh80> 11? are you sure?
[05:51] <malianx> seb90210: you don't use x?
[05:52] <seb90210> seems wrong, if you want icons for everything and one click ready to spy  apps go ahead i'm not stoppin you
[05:52] <CarlFK> FarmCretin: "access" is a bit vague.  like is the friend going to sit at the computer, or come in over the Net?
[05:52] <ru[x]id> nick ruxid
[05:52] <fab3> some people remember ips, the rest of us use dns
[05:52] <NemesisD> unop, No candidate version found for linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic :|
[05:52] <bofh80> seb90210, that's why we use ubuntu - UGH
[05:53] <fab3> there are times and places for shortcuts
[05:53] <seb90210> malianx of course x is the graphical interface i'm here therefore i use it
[05:53] <malianx> seb90210: I use X for desktop management, basically a workspace with multiple xterms :P
[05:53] <FarmCretin> CarlFK: he will use ssh to login
[05:54] <croddy> FarmCretin, you'll need to create an account for him and configure sshd and your firewall to your liking. you'll also want to set permissions on all the directories to limit his access to just what you've approved
[05:54] <seb90210> x is the gui interface, no criticism from me here ever
[05:54] <croddy> FarmCretin, you'll also want to change your umask so files are created by default so he can't read them in your home directory. make sure he is only in the groups he needs.
[05:54] <freeflowcauvery> NemesisD, see if you have /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic
[05:54] <CarlFK> FarmCretin: good start.  browse this, get some ideas.  http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html
[05:55] <unop> NemesisD, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:55] <NemesisD> freeflowcauvery, i do not
[05:55] <NemesisD> unop, hardy
[05:55] <hotmonkeyluv> What is the command to restart metacity? not X, but just metacity.
[05:55] <Zaiden> What version of Pidgin comes with 8.04?
[05:55] <CarlFK> FarmCretin: there are still issues about what is common, how much control they have over thiings, etc.
[05:55] <dumbdum> Hi, Ive added three extra hdd's to my system. i couldnt get them to mount but Ive since found how to do that. But... one mounted as /mnt, one was /home, what do I do the third?
[05:55] <hml> is there anyway in linux or x to disable the laptop's built in keyboard (so only the usb keyboard that's plugged in works?)
[05:55] <mano> guys where is firefox default icon located?
[05:55] <seb90210> i just hate hate hate the way in which ppl have been taught computers (and they think they know something about the pc) because of using microsoft
[05:55] <unop> NemesisD, well, this package is not available in hardy
[05:56] <unop> !info linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic | NemesisD
[05:56] <fab3> dumbdum *hmm* are you sure you want that?
[05:56] <unop> !info linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic gutsy | NemesisD
[05:56] <fab3> dumbdum your goal is to get your home partition on a separate drive?
[05:56] <NemesisD> unop, thats annoying, what do i doo?
[05:56] <seb90210> nobody in here and i mean nobody - is stupid...because they saught to learn or find out
[05:56] <unop> NemesisD, you should upgrade your kernel to the one that hardy has
[05:57] <Gnea> seb90210: please, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:57] <seb90210> this would have not been the case in the ms world
[05:57] <hml> richiefrich: hey; so i've diabled that line in x.org ... in the server layout section, but my lapto keyboard still works
[05:57] <seb90210> ok ok Gnea
[05:57] <NemesisD> unop, the overclocking module uses this version and upgrading the kernel b0rks video and touchpad for me
[05:58] <Amerikan> seb90210: what are you talking about?
[05:58] <dumbdum> I dont know. I have Ubuntu on a 8 gig scsi drive and three IDE hdds for storage. But I coudnt get the ide hdds to mount
[05:58] <asasas> hello!
[05:58] <bofh80> Amerikan, leave off, i think he's going to start cryin because he can't pass on the 30 command line switches he knows
[05:58] <unop> NemesisD, well, if you really insist .. head over to packages.ubuntu.com  and download that package to manually install it then .
[05:59] <seb90210> i.m fed up. got 3 roomates w/ wistas or xp and none work, all have problems, seriois ones...i'm tired of helping tired tired tired
[05:59] <Gnea> bofh80: enough.
[05:59] <Amerikan> bofh80: I was genuinely curious
[05:59] <unop> bofh80, please stay on topic
[05:59] <Gnea> !ot | seb90210
[05:59] <NemesisD> unop, download package "linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic" for gutsy or hardy?
[05:59] <fab3> dumbdum well lets keep ti simple
[05:59] <Amerikan> seb90210:  I know how that goes. I just made the move to ubuntu from xp. Do you have a problem?
[05:59] <Gnea> seb90210: if you must rant, do it in the offtopic channel. that's what it's there for. respect it.
[06:00] <fab3> keep your os installed on the scsi drive
[06:00] <unop> NemesisD, i just told you this doesn't exist for hardy .. so gutsy obviously
[06:00] <Steve_Wilde> Hello, having iPod issues with Amarok. I've read LOTS of FAQs but none are helping.  Is this the right forum?
[06:00] <fab3> then go into the /mnt dir and create three folder to mount them on to
[06:00] <cn28h> Steve_Wilde, maybe, but there is a #amarok where you might have more luck
[06:00] <fab3> and we will help you setup fstab so that they mount to those folders so you can storte data on there
[06:00] <seb90210> whatever....my mother will not get help with her puter because she has vista ok, she can spend 200 bucks annualy in some service agreement but still not get it
[06:00] <fab3> dumbdum does that roughly make sense?
[06:00] <croddy> seb90210, shut up
[06:01] <croddy> srsly
[06:01] <dumbdum> I cant get back into the utility i used to change them.?
[06:01] <seb90210> i dont have a problem, i'm a linux user
[06:01] <arrrghhh> so i can send a magic packet to have WOL turn a computer on... can i send a similar "magic packet" or something to remotely shut the computer down?
[06:01] <Gnea> croddy: please don't encourage him.
[06:01] <fab3> dumbdum well the problem is you mounthe /home onto one of your drives
[06:01] <dumbdum> Im a complete Linux "newbie"!
[06:01] <fab3> this complicates things by a good amount
[06:01] <croddy> arrrghhh, log in and run 'shutdown -h now'?
[06:02] <seb90210> fine croddy, had to get off my chest ok
[06:02] <bofh80> that's not all you are chap. that's not all.
[06:02] <Gnea> seb90210: type:  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:02] <Xpistos> Hi everybody
[06:02] <Steve_Wilde> Well, I'll try here first since you left me that little opening :)  Amarok moves files into and out of my nano just fine.  I can play iPod-resident files through Amarok.  I can't play Amarok-to-iPod files on the iPod though.  It's as if Amarok isn't updating the iPod DB.  I can see the files in the F02  directory, I just can't play them.
[06:02] <arrrghhh> croddy, i'd like to have something that i can schedule with cron on a remote machine... i guess i could schedule it on the local machine, but obviously the script to send the magic packet to wake the computer up would be on a remote machine.
[06:03] <dumbdum> What if I just reformat and start again?
[06:03] <croddy> arrrghhh, i'd go with shutdown in cron locally for the shutdown.
[06:03] <fab3> steve that might be a better questions for #amarok
[06:03] <arrrghhh> hrm okie.  thanks croddy
[06:03] <zcat[1]> umm !res is way out of date or something? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't ask for monitor timings anywhere. ddcprobe won't give me them either.
[06:03] <bitfrost> Hi
[06:03] <mm2000_laptop> Hi there, I just want to confirm this.. On a "default system" in this case ubuntu you can access to root in mysql without password. But this is only for localhost, right?
[06:03] <Gnea> bdunlap: well hey there, any luck with the bluetooth? :)
[06:03] <FarmCretin> ok, so lets say i want to make a user named andrei, his home dir is /mnt/fantom/videos and he cannot move from that dir. so far i got "useradd -d /mnt/fantom/videos andrei" and i chown the contents of videos to all groups
[06:03] <Steve_Wilde> Gotcha, thanks.  I'll shoot over there first then.
[06:04] <fab3> zcat[1] its true
[06:04] <Xpistos> When I boot up my system the status bar gets half way and then stalls there for 5 minutes before rebooting. Any Ideas on how I can fix this? I can say I tried to setup a bridge in virtualbox when I was doing it (http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/bridging-virtualbox-162-on-ubuntu-8041/)
[06:04] <croddy> FarmCretin, does he need to do anything besides read those files?
[06:04] <FarmCretin> nope
[06:04] <fab3> tand xorg doesnt detect video chips or monitors properly either awhole lot
[06:04] <fab3> also appearently there is a problem with direct rendering under certain conditions
[06:04] <coderipper1983_> okay i got a wierd one. how do you use grep to search a list file and retun on the lines that contain 5ms or less
[06:04] <croddy> you might look into giving him a shell called sftponly
[06:04] <bitfrost> I managed to uninstall nvidia-xgl
[06:04] <fab3> its the usual ubuntu release, each release there is a gotcha
[06:04] <bdunlap> gnea, hi :-) unfortunately no. although i installed some hardware info thingy and it lists a piece of hardware that it doesn't understand.
[06:05] <bitfrost> but still no direct rendering
[06:05] <bdunlap> gnea, I'm looking for it but cant find it now. GRR. :P
[06:05] <fab3> bitfrost i ran into that my self
[06:05] <croddy> you're also going to need to check the permissions on everything else on the system -- there's no reason he can't move outside that dir.
[06:05] <Gnea> bdunlap: lshw perhaps?
[06:05] <FarmCretin> croddy: im testing thihs username, but what is the password?
[06:05] <vina1> is it possible to disable the "drop artwork here" icon that shows up in rhythmbox?
[06:05] <fab3> i can't find a fix anywhere or see any solution on the horizon
[06:05] <NemesisD> unop, says dep not satisfiable :/ i know the package manager has been installing all kinds of new kernels, could this be why?
[06:06] <croddy> FarmCretin, if it didn't prompt you for one, you'll need to set it with 'passwd antrei'
[06:06] <zcat[1]> fab3: so i have an old nvidia card that was working in 1240x1024 from the live CD and after installing nvidia-legacy (-glx or -envy, I tried both) it's running in 800x600. nvidia-settings says I don't have an nvidia card at all. what now? I want to have it running in 1024x768 at 75hz which I know the monitor can do
[06:06] <bitfrost> http://paste.ubuntu.com/41127/
[06:06] <Amerikan> can anyone suggest a better firewall than firestarter?
[06:06]  * croddy <3 firestarter
[06:06] <bdunlap> gnea, i don't know what that is, but it's called "sysinfo"
[06:06] <unop> NemesisD, quite possibly
[06:06] <bdunlap> gnea, i found it
[06:06] <zcat[1]> and yes I tried !res and it's no help at all
[06:06] <unop> NemesisD, what is the exact error message you get?
[06:07] <bdunlap> gnea, "Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI]  Unknown device 011e"
[06:07] <bitfrost> Amerikan, try arno-iptalbes-firewall it is very good
[06:07] <Gnea> bdunlap: sudo update-pciids  and try again
[06:07] <bdunlap> gnea, i did a search for that and all ive found is it's probably related to hardware *sound* controls
[06:08] <NemesisD> oh hold up
[06:08] <Gnea> bdunlap: ooo, never knew about sysinfo before... sweet
[06:09] <bdunlap> gnea, i'll past lshw to pastebin it came up with tons of info :P
[06:09] <kr00l> Hey guyz i can't get Warcraft 3 to run in WINE, any help?
[06:09] <bdunlap> gnea, http://ubuntu.pastebin.ca/1187104
[06:09] <Xpistos> When I boot up my system the status bar gets half way and then stalls there for 5 minutes before continuing to reboot. Any Ideas on how I can fix this?

[06:10] <NemesisD> woo ha!
[06:10] <NemesisD> take that new kernels
[06:11] <vina1> is it possible to disable the album art in rhythmbox?

[06:12] <bitfrost> Hi i try to follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766381
[06:12] <coderipper1983_> not all programs work on wine
[06:13] <Gnea> bdunlap: wow... yeah, it's definitely not there... silly suggestion, but i recommend going out and buying a cheap usb BT dongle
[06:13] <Gnea> !cedega | kr00l
[06:13] <bitfrost> I I dont why it is needing to recompile the drm
[06:13] <hirosima> sad
[06:13] <bitfrost> I do it but I still don`t have direct rendering
[06:13] <bdunlap> gnea, that's what I'll have to do. im a bit sad because i have the hardware button but no bt... and the specs say i have it.
[06:13] <kr00l> Gnea, I don't want to pay to play my game using cedega
[06:14] <bitfrost> maybe someone help me please?
[06:14] <Gnea> kr00l: then try #winehq
[06:14] <ezequiel> how can i go to ubuntu spanish
[06:14] <Gnea> bdunlap: you could probably find the chip for it on ebay or maybe even direct from acer
[06:15] <bdunlap> gnea, eh im not going to crack open this case LOL... do you recommend any certain brand or type or something of BT dongle?
[06:16] <Gnea> bdunlap: i just went to walmart and picked up the cheapest one (i think it was like $20), brought it home, plugged it in, and it worked right away
[06:16] <ezequiel> ubuntu spanish

[06:17] <bitfrost> please help me
[06:17] <fab3> [z]linux no, you haveto configure it
[06:17] <Gnea> bitfrost: what do you need help with?

[06:23] <Awsoonn> is there going to be a virtualbow ose package for the latest kernel?
[06:24] <fab3> [z]linux well unfortunately the answer is that you ned to read the man pages and maybe google how to config it for your dyndns account
[06:24] <fab3> or whatever you are using

[06:24] <hiredgoon> !weed
[06:24] <hiredgoon> !ganja
[06:24] <hiredgoon> !herb
[06:24] <hiredgoon> don't know much about much i guess
[06:25] <shift_up> Probably a termcap-related question: when I press (shift - up-arrow) the programs that worked fine before I installed Ubuntu, see this key combination as junk. Could it be that Ubuntu broke this by being a unicode-based distro?
[06:25] <hiredgoon> !history

[06:25] <coderipper1983_> !computers
[06:25] <coderipper1983_> lol
[06:25] <fab3> [z]linux you will do sudo /etc/init.d/ddwhatever stop, then configure a text file in /etc/ddwhatever to give it the settings, then you will do sudo /etc/init.d/ddwhatever start to start up the services
[06:25] <fab3> then you haveto test to see if its updating the dyndns account out there
[06:25] <fab3> thtas the basic way of configuring it.  you haveto google the details now
[06:25] <coderipper1983_> !porn
[06:26] <ezequiel> how can i open files of office (vista) in open office
[06:26] <fab3> you can't
[06:26] <_genki> is there a way for Radeon users to enable v-sync on dragging windows (I'm using compiz). (I have already tried to edit all the general options in compiz fusion as well as in ATi controll panel)
[06:26] <fab3> you ask them to send you files in office97/2000 format
[06:26] <monstrado> I have a question concerning my ubuntu: sever edition. Just recently whenever I type a command with "sudo" in front of it, to escalate my privledges the command never goes through...even though the password was correct. for example, typing sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config results in nothing...not error either.
[06:27] <fab3> ezequiel you can try just renaming .docx to .doc and see what happens
[06:27] <fab3> someone told me that works but i doubt it
[06:27] <yusuf_> depens on the file
[06:27] <coderipper1983_> the formatting is different. it will just show up as garbage
[06:27] <vina1> hi all.. i am using rythmbox,  is there aw ay to remove the cover art from the sidebar altogether?
[06:27] <yusuf_> it works some times
[06:27] <fab3> one is an xml file and other is binary, i don't know if oo will interpret the xml at all
[06:28] <crdlb> vina1: just disable the plugin
[06:28] <ezequiel> ok
[06:28] <Gnea> yay, bedtime. nite all..
[06:28] <monstrado> is there anyone who can anwser my question above? thank you
[06:28] <coderipper1983_> www.sublimedirectory.com
[06:28] <ubuntugeek> You don,t know anything about much do you
[06:28] <fab3> monstrado you are probably logged in with an unpriviledged account
[06:29] <fab3> or you lost admin priviledges
[06:29] <vina1> crdlb:  that worked, thanks! i didnt realize it was just a plugin!!
[06:29] <monstrado> fab3, but i'm using sudo to escalate privs
[06:29] <fab3> or you changed your system name improperly and sudo cannot resolve the command request
[06:29]  * [gnubie] waves.. gtg now.. thanks..
[06:29] <billybigrigger> fab3, he's running sudo so an unpriviledged accoun t shouldnt matter no?
[06:29] <coderipper1983_> peace
[06:29] <monstrado> exactly
[06:30] <monstrado> here is a piece from my console.
[06:30] <fab3> then you might of done su account name ... instead of su - account name to get into the accoutn with priviledges
[06:30] <fab3> there is a difference between the two
[06:30] <ezequiel> you are smart
[06:30] <monstrado> ricky@madbox:~$ sudo nano /etc/test.txt
[06:30] <monstrado> [sudo] password for ricky:
[06:30] <monstrado> ricky@madbox:~$
[06:30] <amt2> how can i creat a shortcut to a folder and put it in the desktop?
[06:30] <monstrado> no error or anything :(
[06:31] <ezequiel> i love google
[06:31] <cn28h> amt2, ln -s /path/to/folder ~/Desktop
[06:31] <shift_up> probably ln -s /path/to/folder ~/Desktop
[06:31] <billybigrigger> monostone, how about su
[06:31] <monstrado> also, I cannot create another user to test if the user account is broken. because no sudo command will carry out.
[06:31] <amt2> cn28h: is there an easier way of doing it without a command?
[06:31] <billybigrigger> monostone, then enter password and try and run the command
[06:31] <shift_up> ln -s /path/to/folder ~/Desktop/folder
[06:31] <cn28h> probably.  I don't use gnome, though
[06:31] <[z]linux> fab3: i open up the services settings manager and i saw the Dynamic DNS services updater and Multicast DNS service discovery. those are checked.. thats not the one who update my dynamice ip? so i need to open those init files and edit?
[06:31] <monstrado> su: Authentication failure
[06:31] <monstrado> Sorry.
[06:32] <Theaxiom> What command do I type to make sure I am running 64 bit ubuntu?
[06:32] <cn28h> shift_up, the extra /folder there isn't necessary, though it won't hurt anything
[06:32] <monstrado> I don't think my root account has login access though, just for privledge escalation through sudo
[06:32] <ubuntugeek> create the folder then drag & drop
[06:32] <cn28h> thearthur, uname -m
[06:32] <monstrado> btw, I should mention im on Server 7.10
[06:32] <shift_up> cn28h: you live you learn

[06:32] <cn28h> ack

[06:33] <monstrado> I'm not really sure what to do, as this is a file-server of mine which is running cifs..errr samba
[06:33] <amt2> cn28h: what is the difference between a hard link and a symbolic link
[06:33] <amt2> ?
[06:34] <Theaxiom> i686 would be 32bit?
[06:34] <ezequiel> somebady know how is the best browser
[06:34] <shift_up> Does anyone else here use hnb? I just switched to Ubuntu, everything works great, except hnb
[06:34] <GrnFraggle> Anyone know how to replace usb links under /dev that you have porked up?
[06:34] <seekingtruth> hello sinners
[06:34] <monstrado> Anyone else able to answer my question with sudo not working properly?
[06:34] <seekingtruth> GrnFraggle: porked? as in pig?
[06:34] <cn28h> amt2, there are a number of differences.  Generally you want to use sym links though.  Sym links can span filesystems.  Hard link is actually indistinguishable from the original file, it's just the reference to it in two places
[06:34] <seekingtruth> monstrado: sudo doesnt work?
[06:35] <ezequiel> ok what browser is the best
[06:35] <GrnFraggle> seekingtruth, ya i rm'd my ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1
[06:35] <BoltClock> !best | ezequiel
[06:35] <seekingtruth> ezequiel: thats relative.  but my choice is firefox
[06:35] <BoltClock> ezequiel: i love firefox too
[06:35] <cn28h> firefox (3)
[06:35] <GrnFraggle> I added them back, using gksudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
[06:35] <seekingtruth> BoltClock: and firefox loves you :)
[06:35] <BoltClock> seekingtruth: you too :)
[06:35] <yowshi> anyone know a good simple and easy to use programme for burning avifiles into video dvd's?
[06:36] <shift_up> ezequiel: the bestest browser ever is :  w3m -dump www.google.com
[06:36] <cn28h> yowshi, k3b
[06:36] <seekingtruth> BoltClock: i would sleep with the founder of firefox, she is hot :)
[06:36] <BoltClock> seekingtruth: lol
[06:36] <seekingtruth> BoltClock: :)
[06:37] <monstrado> could anyone provide me an advance level answer to my question?
[06:37] <Orwell> seekingtruth,  who wouldnt! lol
[06:37] <monstrado> any advance level linux users in here?
[06:37] <ezequiel> ubottu what do you mean
[06:37] <seekingtruth> Orwell: lol true ;)
[06:37] <yowshi> cn28h: no it isnt simple. k3b does the whole audio_ts and video_ts folder making thing and i dont know what to do with it
[06:37] <yowshi> cn28h: by simple i mean load up select file and the p-rogramme does the work
[06:37] <seekingtruth> ezequiel: its a bot, not human
[06:38] <cn28h> yowshi, dunno then, sorry
[06:39] <yowshi> used to know a programme that would convert video files into iso for burning video dvd's but i forgot what it was
[06:39] <favro> monstrado: does /etc/sudoers still exist?
[06:39] <Orwell> seekingtruth: she dispels any myth about geek women i reckon
[06:39] <cn28h> mkisofs? ;P
[06:39] <seekingtruth> Orwell: :)
[06:39] <monstrado> favro, yes
[06:40] <monstrado> I cannot even CAT it because I have to do it in sudo mode, which cannot be done...
[06:40] <monstrado> no password error either
[06:40] <cn28h> did you mess with it?
[06:40] <cn28h> with /etc/sudoers
[06:40] <monstrado> never
[06:40] <favro> monstrado: you'll have to boot into single/recovery to look at it
[06:41] <monstrado> that sucks lol, as this is a ssh session and the server is in a corner with data + power
[06:41] <monstrado> haha :)
[06:41] <cn28h> wait, what's the original question?
[06:41] <monstrado> cn28h, I will PM you
[06:41] <Flannel> monstrado: Are you in the admin group? (`group` will list them)
[06:41] <cn28h> k
[06:42] <Theaxiom> Why can't I do fdisk -l in live cd?
[06:42] <Theaxiom> It won't list my partitions
[06:42] <favro> Theaxiom: try sudo fdisk -l
[06:42] <GrnFraggle> probably doesn't have fdisk.   try gparted

[06:53] <kush1> how do i reset everything
[06:53] <GrnFraggle> freeflowcauvery, it says only root can do that
[06:53] <favro> Amerikan: autoboot? - do you mean reboot?
[06:53] <neil_d> can you stop a user changing there screen blanker ?
[06:53] <akep> i create an program firstly it work in windows but it's dont want installed in my ubuntu???
[06:54] <adamdm> dd4: i defragged, etc. as instructed and put in the CD...when it comes up and recommends the amount to partition or for me to manually indicate how i want to do it...i go with what it suggests and hit continue (~85gb for vista and ~15 for ubuntu)...
[06:54] <freeflowcauvery> GrnFraggle, you should be able to do it if you have sudo privileges
[06:54] <Amerikan> favro: As in not show a boot menu in the begining
[06:54] <kush1> is there an easy button to get it back to distro? :)
[06:54] <adamdm> d4: as soon as i do that, it gives me an error saying that the space is too small

[06:55] <lkthomas> No subnet declaration for eth0 (<IP_ADDRESS>).
[06:55] <lkthomas> anyone have idea why ?
[06:55] <favro> Amerikan: in menu.lst is an option to hide the grub menu
[06:55] <nosilver4u> Amerikan: usually gives you 3 seconds to hit Esc, and then it will 'autoboot'
[06:55] <Vip> hello
[06:55] <amt2> i need a program to transfer files, similar to filezilla in windows. any suggestions?
[06:56] <Amerikan> thanks a lot favro and nosilver4u

[06:57] <nosilver4u> amt2: just saw this article today, might be what you're looking for: http://stackp.online.fr/?p=28
[06:57] <Vip> i m having ibm x3200 series server on that i m tring to install ubuntu 8.04 but after booting my monitor goes in to sleep mode
[06:58] <nosilver4u> amt2: otherwise, i usually use scp from the command line, since it's secure
[06:58] <Vip> anyone care to give answer
[06:58] <d4r1os54> adamdm: try www.ubuntuusers.de there is a wiki search for dual boot
[06:58] <freeflowcauvery> lkthomas, what does your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient look like?
[06:58] <GrnFraggle> freeflowcauvery, ok now i get mount: special device dev/ttyUSB1 does not exist

[06:59] <akep> is wine work for all windows apps???
[06:59] <GrnFraggle> this is what i've been searching for for 2 days.     A good deal of them, yes.
[07:00] <amt2> nosilver4u: what about ftp, is that not secure?
[07:00] <GrnFraggle> yup
[07:00] <nosilver4u> akep: check out http://appdb.winehq.org/ for details on specific apps
[07:00] <GrnFraggle> freeflowcauvery i rmd' the original
[07:00] <akep> is that why the program i create with vb not work???
[07:01] <nosilver4u> amt2: not really, even if you have anonymous access disabled, ftp is pretty weak
[07:01] <Amerikan> akep: stay away from vb :\
[07:01] <ubuntu_> server mesra.dal.net
[07:02] <nosilver4u> amt2: but if that's what you're looking for, i had good luck with proftpd and vsftpd (vsftp = Very Secure ftpd)
[07:05] <q_a_z_steve> Is there a log file of installed and uninstalled apt stuff in hardy?
[07:05] <Flannel> q_a_z_steve: What are you looking for?  theres a few possibilities
[07:05] <amt2> ill try installing filezilla
[07:06] <d4r1os54> q_a_z_steve: use synaptic package manager gui
[07:06] <Theaxiom> I completely hosed my system, I tried reinstalling and it overwrote important data. I don't want that to happen next time I decide to reinstall linux, so is there a guide to setting up usr and home on separate partitions?
[07:07] <hateball> Theaxiom: Manual partitions during install
[07:07] <Theaxiom> Theaxiom, how large do I make the usr and home partitions?
[07:07] <hateball> Theaxiom: Oh a guide... it's pretty straightforward
[07:07] <d4r1os54> q_a_z_steve: there U can switch to status installed
[07:07] <Theaxiom> I am installing Ubuntu onto a 230GB part of the drive
[07:07] <hateball> Theaxiom: Why would you want /usr on it's own partition?
[07:08] <Theaxiom> Maybe I mean etc?
[07:08] <ajzimmerman> Hello, I am having trouble with VirtualBox, it keeps saying I don't have the kernel driver installed. I've already updated everything.
[07:09] <nosilver4u> Theaxiom: /etc is for all your system settings, is that what you were thinking of?
[07:09] <Theaxiom> Yes
[07:09] <hateball> Theaxiom: If you're doing it to be able to rescue a hosed system, you'd just want /home/... if you're not sure why you want the others ;) As a new install would just overwrite everything and set it to default
[07:09] <Tiggster> aj: Same thing happens here. I never could figure out what the problem was
[07:09] <Theaxiom> All my installed applications are gone, etc
[07:09] <Theaxiom> I don't want that next time
[07:09] <hateball> Theaxiom: If your system is "hosed" there's quite a big chance that has to do with files in /etc, wouldnt you agree?
[07:09] <Theaxiom> nevermind I can't explain it
[07:10] <Theaxiom> I just dont want my stuff uninstalled next time I ever have to reinstall the OS
[07:10] <hateball> Theaxiom: You can export a list of installed packages tho
[07:10] <Theaxiom> its too late, it already killed everything
[07:10] <nosilver4u> Theaxiom: it would be pretty tough to keep all your installed programs after doing a reinstall, that's kind of the point
[07:10] <toshko> Soft RAID1 problems (invalid raid superblock magic) anyone?
[07:11] <amt2> can you transfer an entire folder using scp?
[07:11] <Theaxiom> nosilver4u: I had important stuff installed, such as MySQL, etc
[07:11] <amt2> how would i do it if i want to transfer multiple files easily
[07:11] <Theaxiom> nosilver4u: So I lost all my databases
[07:11] <billybigrigger> how is 8.04 x64 to run day to day apps? ie on my laptop?
[07:11] <nosilver4u> Theaxiom: how about /var then, that would save that stuff
[07:11] <Theaxiom> nosilver4u: I don't want that to happen next time
[07:12] <nosilver4u> Theaxiom: you'd still have to reinstall mysql, but the databases themselves are in /var
[07:12] <billybigrigger> its a core 2 duo with 4g ram so i want to have a 64bit os and i remember when x64 ubuntu came out it was a bit of a pickle to get most apps running properly, is that all worked out now?
[07:12] <Theaxiom> nosilver4u: Ok, so that is what I need on a separate partition
[07:12] <Sixofour|Sleep> wget http://www.fmod.org/index.php/release/version/fmodapi41609linux.tar.gz
[07:12] <nosilver4u> yup
[07:12] <Sixofour|Sleep> tar -xvzf fmodapi41609linux.tar.gz
[07:12] <Sixofour|Sleep> why won't that work???
[07:13] <toshko> does anyone know channel for ubuntu server??
[07:13] <Flannel> toshko: #ubuntu-server
[07:13] <q_a_z_steve> found what I needed.
[07:14] <nosilver4u> Theaxiom: I would think 2-3 GB would be more than sufficient (mostly because apt stores all your downloaded packages there as well)
[07:14] <smmagic> billybigrigger, you dont need x64 to get 4gb of ram working
[07:14] <smmagic> It works in 32bit aswell
[07:15] <toshko> thanks ;-)
[07:15] <billybigrigger> smmagic, i know thats a windows issue, but i might as well have a 64bit os with this great lappy of mine :P i like to watch hi-def movies and am a power user, usually have 20 windows of crap going haha
[07:16] <AbstortedMinds> anyone know what i can check to see why ubuntu wont connect to wpa2 personal ?
[07:16] <AbstortedMinds> my drivers work and other networks work, but wpa2 personal fails
[07:17] <cn28h> are you using wpa_supplicant? check the logs
[07:17] <pteague_laptop> anybody know how to turn off the synaptics touchpad tap to click?

[07:17] <AbstortedMinds> do i have to edit wpa-supplicant file to connect? or can it be done with the gui

[07:30] <sugi> How do I listen to live radio streams from the internet?
[07:30] <sugi> !radio
[07:31] <hateball> sugi: From where, what format etc?
[07:32] <sugi> hateball: well, on the website.  it just opens up a new window and it streams from there, but there is an option to download a small file in the format of .m3u
[07:32] <amt2> is the stdio.h C library included by default in ubuntu?
[07:33] <hateball> sugi: You should be able to open those .m3u in Rhythmbox or VLC for instance
[07:33] <hateball> sugi: Provided you have installed the restricted codecs
[07:33] <sugi> hateball: i open it in movie player and it didn't work.  i also tried in rhythmbox
[07:33] <freeflowcauvery> amt2, yes
[07:34] <hateball> sugi: Care to provide a link?
[07:34] <sugi> hateball: i did this command "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[07:35] <sugi> hateball: www.dancefactoryfm.com/ (it's a good channel :D my friend from ill told me about it
[07:35] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: im trying to compile something and I get a 'stdio.h: no such file or directory', and what im trying to compile compiles if i do it remotely on another machine. any suggestions?
[07:37] <hateball> sugi: Works just fine in Totem for me... Not sure exactly what restricted extras bring, but you might need some gstreamer-bad/ugly stuff too
[07:38] <sugi> hateball:  could you give me the command to still it?
[07:39] <error404notfound> if we have shared our /var/cache to save bandwidth, then if more than one systems are updating/installing something, they get the error of "/var/cache/apt/archives/lock", how can it be avoided?
[07:39] <freeflowcauvery> amt2, do locate stdio.h and see if it is in /usr/include and /usr/include/bits/
[07:39] <meek> Hello all
[07:39] <hateball> sugi: apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, there's also bad and ugly
[07:39] <hateball> sugi: Not sure which one that stream would need
[07:40] <yufu> k;llm
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: you cant, it locks the cache while the update happens.
[07:40] <yufu> nick /amd
[07:40] <Crshman> has anyone ever worked with iscsi?
[07:40] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip: so at a time only one system can update itself?
[07:40] <Flannel> !anyone | Crshman
[07:41] <sugi> hateball: thanks
[07:41] <Crshman> What is a good solution for a cross platform iscsi target (not the actual service providing the target, but the filesystem the target provides)
[07:41] <RoninBaka> how do I share a mount point and make it writable?
[07:42] <RoninBaka> I can see it on my windows box but can't wrte to it
[07:42] <sauvin> Change the mount point's perms, maybe?
[07:42] <CbDaLos> Hey, can anyone here let me know how to add fusion-icon to my bootlist?
[07:42] <CbDaLos> or how to edit the bootlist
[07:42] <jussi01> !bum | CbDaLos
[07:43] <RoninBaka> changed the owner from root to my user id (same as my home drive which shares fine) stll no go
[07:43] <CbDaLos> thanks ubottu
[07:43] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: i do a locate and i get /usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/CORE/nostdio.h
[07:43] <sauvin> How are you mounting it?
[07:45] <RoninBaka> it's a raid array that containes most of my files is just mounted through fstab
[07:45] <acp_> hi i just want to double check if ltsp5 in ubuntu does not support webcam in its thinclient?
[07:45] <amd> amd
[07:46] <Dedi> 1. my compiz does not load automaticly 2. ~/.conf/autostart does not execute bash scripts?
[07:47] <RoninBaka> permissions are now drwxrwxrwx
[07:47] <hateball> Dedi: are they chmodded +x?
[07:48] <Dedi> hateball: sure, i think autostart folder can only handle .desktop files
[07:48] <Dedi> but im sure there is another way to autostart, just dont know it :)
[07:48] <freeflowcauvery> amt2, ok....so you don't have stdio header files......
[07:48] <error404notfound> what if I do mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial on ther server on which archives are shared? won't it solve the problem?
[07:49] <freeflowcauvery> amt2, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:50] <bmw> rebel_kid: No one answer my query .,...
[07:50] <sugi> hateball: I think it's working
[07:51] <hateball> sugi: Well if music plays, then it's working ;)
[07:51] <unop> error404notfound, depends. what's the issue?
[07:51] <wols_> amt2: install build-essential
[07:51] <sugi> hateball: ha ha ha, I can't tell, but in totem vis. is moving (my cpu is way too high >.<)
[07:53] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: when i run that cmd, i get asked for root's password, and im typing the password i use to log in to ubuntu, but it's not working
[07:53] <aycher> is there a good tutorial anywhere for learning bash scripting?
[07:53] <unop> amt2, sudo asks for your password - not root's
[07:53] <Crshman> how much of a performance hit does the ntfs-3g intermediary driver incur?
[07:53] <amt2> unop: then why does it say 'root's password:' ?
[07:54] <error404notfound> unop: I have a server, which has ts /var/cache shared to save bandwidth so that same repository should be downloaded for each client, but at a time only one can update/install due to archives/lock file... how to solve that? should I create partial dir on server or on clients?
[07:54] <Theaxiom> Hello, I moved all my hardware to another computer case today, and I also added a raid controller and moved some hard drives over to it, but none of them were the system drives. Anywho I decided to reinstall ubuntu and installation goes perfect, etc. When grub loads, and I select an operating system, it says "selected disk does not exist", and it does the same when I try and select Windows. Can someone tell me why grub is doing that? Even after a clean ins
[07:54] <unop> amt2, maybe you are already logged on as root?
[07:54] <unop> amt2, actually no, that can't be
[07:55] <freeflowcauvery> amt2, you probably don't have sudo privileges which allow you to perform admin tasks like installing, etc.
[07:55] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: well but ive installed other things using the Add/Remove
[07:56] <shift_up> I find it strange the `date` shows time in 24-hour format (My locale is supposed to be in L.A.)
[07:56] <amt2> i installed ubuntu myself and im the only user
[07:56] <error404notfound> unop: so?
[07:56] <sauvin> What's locale got to do with 24 hour format?
[07:56] <shift_up> sauvin: 24 hour format is anti-american
[07:57] <unop> error404notfound, locking only applies to apt and other tools (on the local machine) .. not the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives .. so if you were to share this directory with other hosts on your network, you don't have to worry about locking
[07:57] <shift_up> sauvin: if we switch to it, the terrorists win
[07:57] <freeflowcauvery> lol
[07:57] <sauvin> I use 24 hour format wherever the option exists.
[07:57] <error404notfound> unop: but archives/lock prevents other machines from updates/install if one is doing so..
[07:58] <jigp> hello how to view all files aside from "ls" ?
[07:58] <sauvin> What do you mean by "view"?
[07:58] <hateball> jigp: Can you explain it a bit... better? :)
[07:58] <unop> error404notfound, how are you intending on sharing this directory?
[07:58] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: will i be able to install build-essential then?
[07:59] <unop> jigp, print "%s\n" *
[07:59] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: if im able to install things using Add/Remove, does that imply i have the needed privileges?
[07:59] <error404notfound> unop: nfs share, everyone has mounted it
[07:59] <havocstorm> hey guys

[08:01] <error404notfound> okay, more question, when I update, I see some Get, some Hit, and some Ign, what does it mean?

[08:01] <havocstorm> dfccarrion, thanks
[08:01] <unop> error404notfound, why not setup a repository ?
[08:01] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: well, i have most privileges with a checkmark
[08:02] <error404notfound> unop: for some reason we haven't, haven't asked the senior sysadmin
[08:02] <amt2> freeflowcauvery: except send and receive faxes, use scanners, and use tape drives
[08:02] <kreggz> Hello, how do I see my update history via command line?
[08:02] <unop> error404notfound, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto.en.html
[08:02] <unop> kreggz, history -a
[08:03] <kreggz> thanks!
[08:03] <error404notfound> unop: I know of that, but problem is what to do with the current problem
[08:03] <night_time> guys how can I increase and decrease my screen brightness on my laptop? my 'Fn' keys don't work
[08:03] <unop> kreggz, assuming you are talking about bash history
[08:03] <dfccarrion> night_time depends on your system
[08:03] <cbdalos> hey, anyone out here figured out a solution to "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume" ? I get the same error message when trying to mount USB Drives and when trying to read a CD
[08:03] <error404notfound> unop: plus can you tell me what are those Hit, Get, and Ign when I do apt-get update
[08:03] <night_time> dfccarrion: ubuntu hardy
[08:04] <unop> error404notfound, the /var/cache/apt/archives directory was not meant to be shared via nfs .. it was solely meant as a cache for the local machine .. and it has limitations that just don't make it feasible in your setup
[08:05] <unop> error404notfound, those are probably because the server does not have the file that apt-get/aptitude wants
[08:05] <cbdalos> hey, anyone out here figured out a solution to "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume" ? I get the same error message when trying to mount USB Drives and when trying to read a CD
[08:06] <jigp> thanks
[08:07] <unop> error404notfound, it's quite easy setting up a local repository .. it's just two commands and a modification to the client's sources.list
[08:07] <error404notfound> unop: yup, I am considering it..
[08:07] <owen1> how to mount the cd-rom from terminal?
[08:07] <hateball> !mount

[08:08] <unop> owen1, or perhaps.  mount /media/cdrom
[08:08] <shickfaced> Hey everybody. Would someone be willing to help me out with a small problem I am having.
[08:09] <shickfaced> **?
[08:09] <unop> shickfaced, ask the real question to the channel
[08:09] <shickfaced> ...sorry.
[08:09] <shickfaced> I am running ubuntu server.
[08:09] <Theaxiom> Can anyone tell me what this means please: /usr/sbin/grub-install: 403: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied
[08:09] <shickfaced> I have an LCD on a parallel port.
[08:09] <ibrahim> I am using ubuntu 8.04 and I would like to update some softwares on hardy which already uptodate in intrepid repos. Is that possible to use intrepid repos in hardy for some packages? I was find some document about that but If I want to install new package from intrepid, synaptic trying to update whole system package from intrepid.
[08:09] <unop> Theaxiom, are you running this under sudo ?
[08:09] <shickfaced> ...which works if you use /dev/parport0 but not /dev/lp
[08:10] <Theaxiom> unop: Yes of course
[08:10] <shickfaced> ...and it is easy enough to rmmod lp and then add /dev/parport0.
[08:10] <unop> !enter | shickfaced
[08:10] <Theaxiom> unop: From live cd, chrooted into my ubuntu instal
[08:10] <owen1> unop: i get an error when mounting: http://pastebin.com/m3e731473
[08:10] <unop> Theaxiom, did you mount /dev, /sys  and /proc  into the chroot?
[08:11] <Theaxiom> unop: nope
[08:11] <hateball> owen1: sudo mount -o loop /dev/dvd (or /dev/cdrom) /mount/point
[08:11] <unop> Theaxiom, right, you have to do that then.
[08:12] <battlesquid> how can i set up an ftp server on my ubuntu server? it's essential that the server remains as secure as possible
[08:12] <k0de> I have an MP3 with a .cue playlist for it. What is the best way I can split this up into its individual MP3 tracks, and also are there any utilities that directly convert it to a music cd?
[08:12] <Theaxiom> unop: mount -t proc /proc /media/disk/proc ?
[08:13] <shickfaced> I am running ubuntu server and I have an LCD on a parallel port. The software is okay with /dev/parport0 but not okay with /dev/lp. My temporary solution was to do an "rmmod lp" and then "mknod /dev/parport0 c 0 99" everytime. I was trying to avoid issuing these commands every single time, but I am having trouble setting all of these as defaults.
[08:13] <Theaxiom> unop: And mount --bind /dev /media/disk/dev ?
[08:13] <unop> Theaxiom, for i in /dev /sys /proc; do mount --bind "$i" /path/to/chroot/"${i#*/}"; done
[08:13] <shickfaced> ...and I apologize for the rough formatting on my first attempt at that question.
[08:14] <xintron> http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_can_you_help_people_to_start_using_linux Digg it ffs! ;)
[08:14] <unop> shickfaced, so you would rather have these commands run at boot?
[08:14] <jigp> hello what is meant by "chmod +x *"?
[08:14] <Theaxiom> unop: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
[08:15] <unop> jigp, make all files executable
[08:15] <shickfaced> unop: ...more or less. I was actually hoping to remove the boot command that loads /dev/lp in the first place and replace it with /dev/parport0 or ppdev.
[08:15] <ulaas> i have problems backporting a 2.6.25 kernel to hardy wityh prevu. anyone have experience with prevu?
[08:15] <unop> Theaxiom, you've probably made a mistake in the command somewhere
[08:16] <unop> Theaxiom, you get the idea tho .. mount --bind each of those filesystems in the chroot
[08:17] <unop> shickfaced, i guess one of the udev rules sets this up .. grep -inHRF '/dev/lp' /etc/udev/
[08:17] <Theaxiom> unop: Yes, way ahead of you, thanks :)
[08:17] <owen1> hateball: mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[08:18] <bullgard4> What is the essence of the 'callback' concept in man tpb?
[08:18] <jigp> unop : thanks.. how to delete or clean history in a shell?
[08:18] <Kartagis> jigp, rm .bash_history
[08:18] <unop> owen1, sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /dev/sdXX /media/cdrom
[08:18] <hateball> owen1: -t iso9660
[08:18] <shickfaced> unop: That grep returns nothing. Could it be somewhere in init.d
[08:18] <shickfaced> ?
[08:18] <Oprt1> when i watch streaming video in firefox ubuntu 8.04, firefox starts the default GNOME player in small seperate window but it says NO VIDEO, i was used to watch the very same steaming videos in windows media player 11, but now i dont have windows on my system, and besides GNOME dont allow me to forward the movie as well, thanks
[08:18] <unop> shickfaced, errm, i don't think it is likely -- but you can grep through the dir
[08:19] <shickfaced> ...okay.
[08:19] <Theaxiom> unop: After I do the recheck, shall I reinstall grub?
[08:19] <OmgItsAshark> hey can anybody help me out with something... i installed ubuntu with the live cd partitioning it from my xp... when i hit the power down button it wont let me shut the pc down i can just logout and other such things
[08:19] <unop> Theaxiom, I should assume so, yes
[08:19] <Theaxiom> unop: Thanks :)
[08:19] <mamun> hi
[08:19] <mamun> is thr any1?
[08:20] <shickfaced> unop: The reference only exists once in all of /etc/ and that is in some file /etc/apparmor/severity.db on line 92. I do not think that is right.
[08:20] <unop> shickfaced, you could write your own udev rule if you like .. would you like a howto ?
[08:20] <shickfaced> ...absolutely.
[08:20] <owen1> unop: hateball: i don't have anything like sdXX in /dev. should i create a folder?
[08:21] <Theaxiom> unop: If it found stage1 in (hd3,4) would I root (hd3,4) and then setup (hd0) to install grub to hd0?
[08:21] <unop> owen1, replace sdXX with your device
[08:21] <hateball> owen1: most likely /dev/dvd
[08:21] <shickfaced> owen1: eg /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb3 etc...
[08:21] <unop> shickfaced, http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
[08:22] <shickfaced> unop: Thank you.
[08:22] <unop> shickfaced, also this to complement. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Customizing_UDEV
[08:22] <unop> Theaxiom, right
[08:22] <owen1> unop: hateball: shickfaced: here is my /dev content: bus/        disk/       fd/         .initramfs/ input/      net/        pts/        shm/        snd/        .static/    .udev/      usb/
[08:22] <Theaxiom> unop: Why is it finding stage1 on (hd3,4) if ubuntu is installed on a SATA drive?
[08:23] <aycher_> how do i chance windows????
[08:23] <unop> Theaxiom, what's odd about that?
[08:23] <LSD|Ninja> Theaxiom: gruib refers to all HDDs with a hdX,Y naming scheme
[08:23] <owen1> unop: hateball: shickfaced: i want to mount my dvd so i can burn a cd.
[08:23] <Theaxiom> Thanks Ninja
[08:23] <LSD|Ninja> Theaxiom: It makes no distinction between SATA, PATA, SCSI or whatever
[08:23] <hateball> owen1: then you'd type: sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /dev/dvd /whatever/place/you/want/to/mount
[08:24]  * Theaxiom is rebooting and crossing his fingers
[08:24] <aycher_> C
[08:24] <seb90210> Gnea thank you, the channel allows me to vent
[08:24] <Theaxiom> Thank god for LiveCD
[08:24] <Kartagis> how to get system messages in a different language when compiling? LANGUAGE=EN make maybe?
[08:25] <owen1> hateball: even if i don't have /dev/dvd folder?
[08:25] <hateball> owen1: if you have a dvd, and you dont.. that's odd. however you probably dont see it unless you sudo
[08:26] <unop> Kartagis, that might not cut it .. the build scripts might only support one language (most probably english)
[08:26] <zcat[1]_> !res
[08:27] <owen1> hateball: i get this: http://pastebin.com/d5d16c032
[08:27] <jigp>  thanks
[08:27] <Kartagis> unop, my os is in Turkish completely hence system messages are too
[08:28] <hateball> owen1: if it's a sata device it might be listed as /dev/scd0
[08:28] <ibrahim> a question about getdeb ; hello , I was using ftp://ubuntu.org.ua as a repo on my hardy. but that page not exist anymore. Are there another repo for getdeb packages?
[08:28] <unop> Kartagis, i'm not sure - I was just guessing
[08:29] <unop> owen1, do you have a blank CD in the drive?
[08:29] <owen1> hateball: dmesg  http://pastebin.com/d660f94e6
[08:29] <owen1> unop: yes
[08:29] <unop> owen1, why are you trying to mount it then? it won't mount because there is no filesystem on it yet
[08:30] <gnomefreak> Kartagis: did you try #ubuntu-tr
[08:30] <owen1> unop: mmm..can i simply burn stuff on it?
[08:30] <unop> owen1, yep
[08:31] <ibrahim> a question about getdeb ; hello , I was using ftp://ubuntu.org.ua as a repo on my hardy. but that page not exist anymore. Are there another repo for getdeb packages?
[08:31] <owen1> unop: hateball shickfaced: thanks!
[08:31] <shickfaced> owen1: ...sure.
[08:31] <k0de> i keep having to turn off the "add 2 second gap between tracks" option in Serpentine audio cd burner. Any thoughts on how I can make it default to no gaps?
[08:31] <shickfaced> unop: Thanks...I think this is working okay now. I am sure I will be around more often.
[08:31] <gnomefreak> ibrahim: you would have to check with getdeb people since ubuntu doesnt support them
[08:32] <k0de> seeing as I only listen to techno, it is fairly annoying
[08:33] <ibrahim> gnomefreak , thanks, but nobody at #detdeb , I was just ask in there maybe somebody has an idea about that.
[08:33] <gnomefreak> ibrahim: try #ubuntu-offtopic than
[08:34] <nutricycle> hello, could someone please tell me the package i need to enable mp3s, flash, quicktime and the like?
[08:34] <OmgItsAshark> how do i install a program
[08:35] <unop> nutricycle, w32codecs from the medibuntu repository
[08:35] <gnomefreak> !restricted | nutricycle
[08:35] <gnomefreak> you dont need w32codecs to play mp3
[08:35] <unop> OmgItsAshark, use synaptic
[08:35] <unop> gnomefreak, it addresses his other needs as well tho
[08:35] <gnomefreak> upno it doesnt
[08:36] <unop> except maybe flash
[08:36] <gnomefreak> unop: flash == flashplugin-nonfree
[08:36] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras nutricycle
[08:36] <unop> gnomefreak, indeed
[08:36] <gnomefreak> unop: quictime == flshplugin-nonfree
[08:36] <unop> gnomefreak, heh
[08:36] <gnomefreak> there is also quicktime libs in repos
[08:37] <gnomefreak> atleast there used to be
[08:37] <nutricycle> thanks bahzang
[08:37] <bazhang> np
[08:37] <RoninBaka> What do i have to do to share a directory not in home as writable. I changed the owner to my userID permissions to create and delete but still can only browse the files from windows
[08:37] <unop> gnomefreak, w32codecs has it
[08:37] <nutricycle> unop i didnt get a hit for w32codecs
[08:37] <gnomefreak> libquicktime1
[08:38] <bazhang> RoninBaka, why would you need to do that
[08:38] <unop> nutricycle, you'll have to enable the medibuntu repository first.
[08:38] <bazhang> unop he can just the one package without repo
[08:38] <RoninBaka> it's a raid array under /mnt/ and I want to be able to write to it
[08:38] <gnomefreak> nutricycle: you dont need it. gstreamer0.10-pitfdll plays w32codec packages such as wmv
[08:38] <unop> bazhang, true
[08:39] <unop> bazhang, but that defeats the point of a repo, doesn't it ? :)
[08:39] <nutricycle> i just needed mp3, flash, flac,ogg, divx, xvid
[08:39] <bazhang> unop, though some mp3 do need the w32codecs I have found
[08:39] <unop> bazhang, indeed
[08:39] <gnomefreak> nutricycle: and i gave you link to help you
[08:39] <bazhang> nutricycle, which music player? most have a flac plugin you can add
[08:39] <gnomefreak> gstreamer0.10-pitfdll - GStreamer plugin for using MS Windows binary codecs
[08:40] <nutricycle> ]dont know yet, just started with ubuntu and the built in player looks nasty]
[08:40] <bazhang> www.medibuntu.org nutricycle
[08:40] <nutricycle> i cant even figuire out how to make the file browser diosplay everything as lists instead of icons
[08:41] <OmgItsAshark> can anybody help with a wine question???
[08:41] <OmgItsAshark> now that i downloaded wine... how do i install apps such as xfire and cod4
[08:41] <Theaxiom> Would grub consider /dev/sdd5 as (hd4,4)?
[08:41] <bazhang> nutricycle, in nautilus preferences choose list view
[08:41] <Theaxiom> OmgltsAshark: Just run them as you normally would in windows.
[08:41] <OmgItsAshark> ok
[08:41] <Theaxiom> OmgltsAshark Double click them
[08:42] <gnomefreak> OmgItsAshark: you might be better off trying #winehq if noone can help you here
[08:42] <RoninBaka> its the view new folders as option
[08:42] <OmgItsAshark> i got my cod4 off of steam so i would have to download steam then reinstall cod4
[08:42] <Theaxiom> Does anyone know what grub would consider /dev/sdd5?
[08:42] <RoninBaka> so anyone got any ideas about how I can get the permissions to let me write to this share /mnt/raid
[08:43] <gnomefreak> Theaxiom: that would depend on your set up but grub is normal -1
[08:43] <askvictor> how can I uninstall just about everything on the system, then install just xubuntu-desktop?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> normally
[08:43] <Theaxiom> gnomefreak: I mean, wouldn't it be (hd4,4)?
[08:43] <nutricycle> that works, how do i add the medibuntu repo?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> askvictor: you dont want to do that but you would want to install xubuntu-desktop
[08:44] <bazhang> nutricycle, for that one package you dont need to.
[08:44] <gnomefreak> askvictor: they are both dependant on gtk libs so you would need to be careful on what you remove
[08:44] <unop> Theaxiom, hd3,4 most likely
[08:44] <nutricycle> ok, i have one more question, i have a usb dj console, if i plug it in will it find drivers itself or will it bork?
[08:44] <Theaxiom> unop: Oh thanks
[08:44] <askvictor>  gnomefreak: I'm assuming installing xubuntu-desktop would (re)install those libs necessary
[08:45] <gnomefreak> askvictor: you could remove gtk libs and than from TTY install xubuntu-desktop
[08:45] <k0de> What is the cool app that i am probably not running that I should be?
[08:45] <gnomefreak> askvictor: it will but IMHO its not worth it since they share all the libs
[08:45] <unop> Theaxiom, see this here.  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall
[08:45] <bazhang> k0de, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[08:45] <maowei> hello
[08:45] <askvictor> gnomefreak: I want to install more or less everything (or at least everything the gnome desktop uses, and probably a lot of those dependencies
[08:45] <askvictor> )
[08:46] <Oprt1> i installed VLC player, in which folder ubuntu installe the player? i mean i want to know the folder
[08:46] <mgolisch> Oprt1: why?
[08:46] <Theaxiom> Thanks unop, I keep getting "selected disk does not exist"
[08:46] <gnomefreak> askvictor: xubuntu-desktop will install most of what you have now also xfce apps as well
[08:46] <Oprt1> i want to tell firefox to open vlc player when watching streaming videos online
[08:46] <RoninBaka> Has anyone tried t share something from under /mnt/?
[08:46] <bazhang> Oprt1, applications sound and video
[08:47] <sauvin> The vlc main binary is in /usr/bin.
[08:47] <unop> Theaxiom, use the convenience script - grub-install .. the link shows you how
[08:47] <mgolisch> Oprt1: isnt there a plugin for that?
[08:47] <gnomefreak> ther eis
[08:47] <gnomefreak> there is
[08:47] <askvictor> gnomefreak: But I want to get rid of stuff like openoffice and various other things that I don't know what they are yet but they eat up my precious disk space
[08:47] <Oprt1> i dont know , i am new to ubuntu,
[08:47] <gnomefreak> mozilla-plugin-vlc
[08:47] <bazhang> Oprt1, apt-cache search vlc
[08:47] <gnomefreak> OmgItsAshark: ^^^6
[08:48] <sauvin> Don't get rid of openoffice.
[08:48] <Oprt1> bazhang:  leme try
[08:48] <bullgard4> What is the essence of the 'callback' concept in man tpb?
[08:48] <bazhang> sauvin, why not
[08:48] <[z]linux> i have a question regarding DDclient, if i finish installing ddclient and fill up all the info in step by step setup... does it mean my ddclient already running in services and it automatically start up when i turn on my pc?
[08:48] <gnomefreak> askvictor: than remove libgtk2.0-0
[08:48] <Theaxiom> unop: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[08:49] <Oprt1> it says vlc-nox - multimedia player and streamer (without X support)
[08:49] <gnomefreak> that shoudl get rid of most everything if not look for other libgtk packages you have installed
[08:49] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: use the package i gave youy
[08:49] <unop> Theaxiom, what command did you use?
[08:49] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: mozilla-plugin-vlc
[08:49] <sauvin> bazhang, because it's *the* office software package for the unix world. Unless you *never* write or calculate spreadsheets, you'll eventually want it - and it's not guaranteed even then. Sometimes, you'll WANT to open a .doc or .xls file, and OOo can do that.
[08:49] <Oprt1> bazhang:  where ubuntu install vlc player? i want to tell firefox to use vlc player instead of GNOME
[08:49] <Theaxiom> unop:  sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[08:49] <gnomefreak> sauvin: there are other office apps
[08:50] <bazhang> sauvin, that is a judgment call; he wants to get rid of it.
[08:50] <sauvin> gnomefreak, yea, but imo none work as well.
[08:50] <Theaxiom> unop: if I do grub-install /dev/hda I get this: /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[08:50] <bazhang> Oprt1, install the plugin gnomefreak suggested
[08:50] <unop> Theaxiom, you're on a live CD right?
[08:50] <gnomefreak> sauvin: yeah i agree for most part but what you think not everyone would agree
[08:50] <sauvin> No biggie, one way or another. if he changes his mind, he can always just reinstall.
[08:50] <Theaxiom> unop: Yes, and I chrooted and mounted everything
[08:50] <Oprt1> sudo gnomefreak install ?
[08:51] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: either synaptic or sudo apt-get install
[08:51] <bullgard4> Why does Ubuntu 8.04.1 on one laptop computer have a loadable module 'nvram' but on another it doesn't?
[08:51] <unop> Theaxiom, what does  sudo fdisk -l  have to say about your partitions?
[08:51] <bazhang> mozilla-plugin-vlc Oprt1 ; the other will break your system :)
[08:51] <Oprt1> ok thanks
[08:51] <Theaxiom> unop: It says a lot, what do you need to know?
[08:51] <Oprt1> what ?
[08:51] <Oprt1> i m confused
[08:51] <gnomefreak> bazhang: nox?
[08:51] <Oprt1> which to install and which to NOT
[08:51] <Domepi75> ciao a tutti
[08:51] <Domepi75> !list
[08:51] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: install mozilla-plugin-vlc
[08:51] <bazhang> Oprt1, just a joke gnomefreak  is a user (dont want to install him) :)
[08:51] <Oprt1> ok
[08:52] <gnomefreak> ;)
[08:52] <Oprt1> lol
[08:52] <RoninBaka> *sigh* sometimes i really fundementally hate the way linux works... I'm pretty sure it hates me too
[08:52] <bazhang> !it | Domepi75
[08:52] <unop> Theaxiom, well, whether or not /dev/sda is indeed the first harddisk .. and whether or not you have a seperate partition for /boot?
[08:53] <nutricycle> does anyone know a good dj program for linux that supports dj console?
[08:53] <_Cordobes_> hola
[08:53] <nyoro> Hi, I just installed network-manager-openvpn and restarted my computer. However, when clicking on the applet icon i dont get any options to configure vpn connections. Anyone got an idea what im doing wrong?
[08:53] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: firefox will open the audio app in the program that will play it (it tries to pick best app but you have to have it installed
[08:53] <Theaxiom> unop: /dev/sda is the first one fdisk lists, and no I do not have a separate boot partition
[08:53] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: tha started working well in firefox 3
[08:53] <bazhang> !es | _Cordobes_
[08:54] <Oprt1> gnomefreak:  can i pm u ?
[08:54] <unop> Theaxiom, hmm, maybe use this procedure then.  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html
[08:54] <gnomefreak> Oprt1: you can if you have to but talking in channel would work best
[08:55]  * gnomefreak has ~30 channels open in Irssi and another 10 in smuxi
[08:57] <Theaxiom> unop: I have done that, and I still get "selected disk does not exist" when I try to boot.
[08:58] <Theaxiom> unop: Does it matter if /dev/sda is on a PCI RAID controller?
[08:59] <Barqs> hi, i'm not exactly sure what happened. But I was using ntfs-3g to permanently mount my windows internal harddrive to /media/XP when all of a sudden it didn't mount. I tried clicking on the 320.1gb media icon but it says "cannot mount volume. you are not privileged to mount this volume." and when I try and start ntfs-3g config, it doesn't load.
[09:00] <_Cordobes_> hola
[09:00] <bazhang> _Cordobes_, english please or /j #ubuntu-es
[09:01] <Dabbu> i have to restart "/etc/init.d/networking" everytime i start my ubuntu
[09:01] <Dabbu> any help
[09:02] <Barqs> can someone please help me with ntfs-3g. it won't load
[09:02] <gnomefreak> !restricted > Oprt1
[09:03] <Sarqc> hello
[09:03] <Flannel> !hi | Sarqc
[09:03] <Sarqc> why does my installation fail when loading kernel,screen goes blank?
[09:04] <bazhang> Sarqc, try to md5 the iso
[09:04] <bazhang> !md5 | Sarqc
[09:04] <Flannel> Sarqc: Try checking the CD for defects, from the boot menu.
[09:04] <Sarqc> the cd is ok
[09:04] <Sarqc> i have checked it
[09:05] <Sarqc> just when it loads kernel screen goes blank
[09:05] <Barqs> Could someone help me, i'm getting a "you are not privileged" when trying to mount my windows drive
[09:05] <bazhang> Sarqc, reburn at lower speed after md5 the iso
[09:05] <Sarqc> ok
[09:05] <Theaxiom> unop: any ideas?
[09:05] <Sarqc> u think that will solve the problem?
[09:05] <bazhang> Sarqc, in most cases yes
[09:06] <Sarqc> ok,thanks
[09:07] <bullgard4> What is the essence of the 'callback' concept in man tpb?
[09:09] <Terralthra> I just installed the 8.10 alpha 4, and it mostly works
[09:09] <Terralthra> the only problem is the nvidia restricted drivers
[09:09] <gsd> Hey quick question, how accurate is /proc/cpuinfo? It shows my cpu speed as being 2799.99mhz but in the BIOS I"m sure I have it OC'd only to 2400mhz
[09:09] <bazhang> Terralthra, #ubuntu+1 for that
[09:09] <Terralthra> Thanks
[09:10] <spanther> ubuntu ftw :)
[09:11] <bullgard4> gsd: What do you mean by "OC'd"?
[09:11] <Theaxiom> spanther: Yeah, if only I could get grub to not say "selected disk does not exist"
[09:11] <gsd> bullgard4: overclocked
[09:11] <spanther> Theaxiom: huh? weird issue hehe never had this before on all my machines
[09:11] <Kate_Mins> Hello , i need help please , how i can set wget to download file to specsific folder ?
[09:11] <spanther> bullgard4:  OC'd = Overclocked
[09:11] <gsd> bullgard4: i.e I overclocked it to 2400mhz but cpuinfo is showing that its at 2799.99mhz
[09:12] <gsd> Kate_Mins: you could just cd into that directory
[09:12] <Theaxiom> spanther: Try getting ubuntu to work after adding a PCI RAID controller, and moving all your HD's to diferent posititions on different cables, then tell me you haven't experienced it...
[09:12] <spanther> gsd overclocking can give out wrong informations thats happening sometimes and nothing bad as long it works well :)
[09:12] <Kate_Mins> gsd: does it possible to download the file to the directory without use cd ?
[09:13] <computer> how do i create .zip files?
[09:13] <bullgard4> gsd: You probably manipulated the BIOS so that it reads out now the CPU frequency wrongly. But I am not 100% sure.
[09:13] <spanther> Theaxiom:  lol if you did that then you need to write their new positions inside of grub so you have to edit the loading line so that it points to the new location :)
[09:13] <home2> wasan
[09:13] <Theaxiom> spanther: I have tried all that, and everything, and it still does not work...
[09:14] <spanther> Theaxiom:  tried reinstallation?
[09:14] <Theaxiom> spanther: I even tried reinstalling ubuntu from scratch
[09:14] <Theaxiom> spanther: Installation goes fine, then first boot craps out
[09:14] <Kate_Mins> Hello , i need help please , how i can set wget to download file to specsific folder ?
[09:14] <spanther> Theaxiom: sorry then :( this PCI card maybe brings these issues i think since the cable switching to other ports cant be the true problem
[09:14] <gsd> Kate_Mins: --directory-prefix=prefix'
[09:14] <gsd> Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the directory where all other files and subdirectories will be saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default is `.' (the current directory).
[09:15] <Theaxiom> spanther: That is what I am beginning to think...
[09:15] <gsd> Not sure if there is an easier way ><
[09:15] <spanther> Theaxiom: go to the store and let them give you a new raid card :) and check for linux compatibility before buying hehe
[09:15] <Theaxiom> spanther: Windows is much more forgiving as far as that goes
[09:15] <Theaxiom> spanther: It has linux compatibility, I can even see the drives from livecd
[09:16] <Theaxiom> spanther: I can even mount everything fine
[09:16] <knu_> i have a problem gettin vbox to have a fullscreen with widescreen format
[09:16] <gsd> Kate_Mins: I don't think it should be a problem though, the default directory is (.) which means where you currently are. You /could/ move the file after its downloaded.
[09:17] <spanther> Theaxiom:  then there's a bug maybe :)
[09:17] <Theaxiom> spanther: I dunno, I am trying to fix this. I just wish someone could root into my system and fix everything for me :P
[09:18] <spanther> i could root into it but i couldnt fix something :>
[09:18] <spanther> did you check your fstab ?
[09:18] <Theaxiom> spanther: Yes I have
[09:18] <OMLX> how to update gimp2.4.5 to gimp 2.4.7 in ubuntu8.04?
[09:18] <spanther> check entrys and look what fdisk tells you if these partitions are still fine
[09:18] <spanther> ah ok
[09:18] <Theaxiom> spanther: It is mind boggling and nerve wracking
[09:19] <knu_> someone familiar with VBOX?
[09:19] <spanther> Theaxiom:  nah thats the wrong view of sight :) just see it as experience so you have to solve something and this makes fun :)
[09:19] <Theaxiom> spanther: Yes except when I reinstalled, it deleted everything, and I lost mysql databases, etc, so yeah, the fun part is gone.
[09:20] <spanther> ouch o.o
[09:20] <Theaxiom> spanther: It's ok though, I keep MOST things backed up
[09:21] <Theaxiom> spanther: I am chrooted, and looking at my fstab again, all I see are UUID's - is that ok?
[09:21] <Theaxiom> spanther: UUID=749db395-619d-4323-b2c5-516df3ce4cd5 /               ext3    relatime,erro$
[09:21] <spanther> well i know about this issue o.o
[09:22] <spanther> i've changed from "Compatibility" mode to "AHCI" mode once (S-ATA Menu at BIOS) and then Linux couldn't boot anymore with my install
[09:22] <spanther> it showed such an weird long UUID code as partition :)
[09:22] <Theaxiom> spanther: You suppose the RAID controller did that?
[09:23] <spanther> Theaxiom: if the raid controller has s-ata natively well yes i think
[09:23] <Theaxiom> spanther: It has a SATA port and an IDE port, but I am not using the SATA port
[09:23] <bazhang> knu_, what is your question about vbox
[09:23] <Theaxiom> spanther: I have storage drives on the RAID controller
[09:24] <Theaxiom> spanther: Do you think there is a way to get into the firmware settings of the RAID controller?
[09:25] <spanther> Theaxiom:  for real i have no clue hehe ^^"
[09:25] <knu_> bazhang:  i want to have a fullscreen... when i press CTRL+F the its fullscreen but i have a 1440x900 display. in my xp that i run in vbox i can only set 4:3 resolution
[09:25] <Theaxiom> spanther: I suppose I will try fixing my fstab file, and rebooting, perhaps that would resolve my issue.
[09:25] <spanther> Theaxiom:  i am an advanced user but not an professional hehe :) i have no skills in firmware hacking
[09:26] <bazhang> knu_, and you want what res in vbox; that does not use your native vid cards you know
[09:26] <spanther> Theaxiom:  do you have an S-ATA menu at your BIOS where you can change between AHCI and compatibility ?
[09:26] <ontherocks> hi. i just installed ubuntu minimal system on a sw-raid1+lvm configuration. now it wants to install lilo - i'd rather like to use grub, is there any documentation on how to do that?
[09:26] <knu_> bazhang: i want 1440 x 900
[09:26] <Theaxiom> spanther: I will try that, maybe my bios reset itself today somehow
[09:26] <ontherocks> plus it wants to install lilo on the md0 device but i need it in the MBRs of /dev/sd[ab]
[09:27] <Theaxiom> spanther: Thanks for a new lead to follow, cya later
[09:27] <knu_> bazhang: i already tried to install my normal drivers for ati but it didnt work
[09:27] <spanther> hehe no problem :)
[09:27] <Dabbu> i have installed midori web browser but the proxy option is not there
[09:27] <spanther> but this "S-ATA" mode switching really breaks ubuntus grub hehe
[09:27] <Theaxiom> spanther: thanks
[09:27] <bazhang> knu_, native drivers dont work in vbox
[09:28] <spanther> if you run at compatibility mode dont switch to AHCI after installation otherwise it wont boot
[09:28] <knu_> bazhang: K
[09:28] <knu_> bazhang: and what to do?
[09:28] <spanther> your PCI raid card could have switched to AHCI mode for compatibility reasons with your hardware maybe
[09:28] <Theaxiom> spanther: /dev/sdd5 /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1 - does that look correct?
[09:28] <bazhang> knu_, for getting fullscreen? that should be in preferences but the res will be lower
[09:28] <Theaxiom> spanther: /dev/sdd5 is my / partition
[09:28] <spanther> Theaxiom:  well sdd5 doesnt look correct Oo
[09:29] <spanther> sda or hda would look correct but sdd? never saw this before
[09:29] <knu_> bazhang: preferences of vbox or virtual xp?#
[09:29] <spanther> do you have masses of harddrives?
[09:29] <Theaxiom> spanther: from my fstab: /dev/sdd5           30722       59577   231785788+  83  Linux
[09:29] <spanther> Theaxiom:  how much harddrives do you use
[09:29] <Theaxiom> spanther: I have 4
[09:30] <spanther> ah okay then d can be fine hehe
[09:30] <Theaxiom> spanther: With a total of 7 partitions
[09:30] <spanther> i dont know your complete configuration so i am not sure whats right and whats wrong as entry in fstab :)
[09:30] <Theaxiom> spanther: ok thanks, time to reboot into bios
[09:31] <spanther> but what i know was that this sda identify here changed to this long UUID after using AHCI
[09:33] <computer> what is a good text to speech?
[09:33] <doctorow> I changed my Hardy system's name by editing /etc/hostname and rebooted and now every command generates this error: "unable to resolve host [hostname]"
[09:34] <guntbert_> !hostname| doctorow
[09:35] <nyoro> Anyone here tried installing network-manager-openvpn?
[09:35] <knu_> can somebody tell me the german ubuntu channel?
[09:35] <Flannel> doctorow: you'll need to reboot again, and choose the recovery console at the GRUB menu to be able to edit the other file
[09:35] <Flannel> !de | knu_
[09:35] <doctorow> THanks, Ubottu!
[09:35] <computer> !text-to-speech
[09:36] <computer> !text to speech
[09:36] <Flannel> computer: try festival
[09:36] <kmaity> I can't see the fstab entry of my ntfs partition
[09:36] <computer> website?
[09:36] <Flannel> computer: its in the repositories
[09:37] <keph> hi
[09:37] <computer> sudo apt-get install festival
[09:37] <computer> :) thnx
[09:37] <keph> I noticed a potential bug with ubuntu being installed on compal laptops
[09:37] <keph> specifically, jfl92
[09:37] <kmaity> I can see the entry @ mtab
[09:38] <kmaity> but not in fstab
[09:38] <Flannel> !bugs | keph
[09:38] <keph> right, thanks ;)
[09:39] <kmaity> any body help?
[09:39] <keph> anyway, it's sort of bothersome, makes me dependent on That Other OS, for some bizarre reason
[09:40] <keph> does anyone here use a compal laptop? Maybe there's a workaround I'm not aware of ;)
[09:42] <keph> huh, guess not
[09:43] <nyoro> (Sorry got disconnected). Does anyone have experience in setting up an openvpn client with network-manager-openvpn?
[09:44] <rconan> when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure ufw it says it isn't replacing deleted config files. Can I make it do this?
[09:45] <Flannel> rconan: easiest way is to purge instead of remove, and then reinstall.
[09:45] <arvind_khadri> rconan, purge only if you want to remove the config files too...
[09:45] <rconan> arvind_khadri, i do... the whole point is that i want the default ones back
[09:46] <arvind_khadri> rconan, then purge away...and then do a fresh install
[09:47] <gaurav__> can any one help me out in adobe photshop
[09:47] <rconan> arvind_khadri, how would one go about doing it if there are too many dependancies involved to be able to purge it
[09:47] <rconan> gaurav_, as it's a windows app, probably not
[09:47] <bullgard4> What is the essence of the 'callback' concept in man tpb?
[09:47] <gaurav__> then ho wmay i have the good image editing softwares
[09:47] <gaurav__> for linux
[09:47] <arvind_khadri> rconan, sudo dpkg --purge <package name>
[09:48] <gaurav__> !multimedia
[09:48] <cdoublejj> is flannel here
[09:48] <cdoublejj> i whent to phycoscats for the home folder move
[09:48] <cdoublejj> so as to use asecond hard drive for wine
[09:49] <cdoublejj> since my first one hasn't much room
[09:49] <arvind_khadri> !gimp | gaurav_
[09:49] <Flannel> cdoublejj: You wanted to move your home folder, not just wine, yes.
[09:49] <cdoublejj> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[09:49] <cdoublejj> i wanted to do that
[09:49] <Flannel> bullgard4: No idea with regards to that particular one, but callbacks are function names/pointers/whatever that you give something to call when an event happens (provides the second direction of bidi communication)
[09:49] <cdoublejj> right about the part where it uses the name dev hda 5
[09:49] <gaurav_> thanks for the highlights, but i think you mean gaurav__ (note the additional underscore)
[09:50] <cdoublejj> how do i know wich hd i'm formatting?
[09:50] <Flannel> cdoublejj: You'll see the linux partitions on one of them, you want to format the other one (I believe you had an NTFS partition on it)
[09:50] <Flannel> cdoublejj: It'll likely be sdb, and you'll be creating sdb1
[09:50] <Flannel> cdoublejj: but, double check first.  If you want, you can pastebin sudo fdisk -l, and I'll take a look at it
[09:51] <cdoublejj> thnaks
[09:51] <bullgard4> Flannel: Ah! That is an excellent explanation! It fits precisely to man tpb.  --  Thank you very much.
[09:51] <kmaity> can anybody help me?
[09:52] <Flannel> kmaity: Was it ever in your fstab?
[09:52] <nyoro> How do I stop/start NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatch nicely?
[09:52] <kmaity> I can't see the fstab entry of my ntfs partition  I can see the entry @ mtab but not in fstab
[09:52] <cdoublejj> flannel what is the best formatt?
[09:53] <Flannel> cdoublejj: ext3
[09:53] <cdoublejj> k
[09:55] <knightly> ?
[09:56] <talx> i got tuxguitar-something.deb
[09:56] <talx> how i install it?
[09:56] <rconan> so does anyone know of a DC++ hub which runs as a daemon and has a proper init script?
[09:56] <unohu> talx: click
[09:56] <talx> ho ok :P
[09:57] <talx> thanks

[09:57] <Ms5> Hello
[09:57] <Ms5> I need some help
[09:58] <speakman> Hi! My eth1 NIC has suddently got eth0's HW address. Anyone seens this problem?
[09:58] <unohu> !ask
[09:58] <arvind_khadri> !ask | Ms5
[09:58] <blommethomas> leave
[09:58] <fjdksljk> can i ask about this problem im having with the power button?
[09:59] <blommethomas> quit
[09:59] <arvind_khadri> !ask | fjdksljk
[10:00] <fjdksljk> ohhhh ok so i shouldnt ask to ask a question... ?
[10:00] <cdoublejj> .me go terminal go, k i'm backing and moving home so far so good :)
[10:01] <Ms5> I am trying to spread ubuntu, and I offered to install and customize an installisation for a relative. I took an external Hard Disk, and installed it in there, and it is playing fine on my PC. Will it play on his PC though ?
[10:01] <prock> hey guys
[10:01] <unohu> Ms5: most probably yes...except the graphics driver
[10:01] <Ms5> the card is similar
[10:02] <prock> does any one know where i can find a guide to a switch to remove window decorations from the terminal
[10:02] <Ms5> What I worry is the GRUB
[10:02] <prock> i saw one that made it look sort of like conky but cannot find it again for the life of me
[10:03] <nicle> hi all, our server is running  on edgy, but it has be out of date. And the  apt repos has been removed from official site
[10:03] <Ms5> Can aonyone help me figure out how to edit GRUB in order for this ubuntu on USB HDD to work on the other PC ?
[10:03] <prock> so you want a portable os ?
[10:03] <Flannel> nicle: that's correct.  Edgy has reached EOL.  You'll want to upgrade to feisty (and then gutsy).  You can do that using http://old-releases.ubuntu.com as a temporary repo to get the updates for the version change
[10:03] <nicle> I remember that there is a site which backup all the repos for the old ubuntu distro
[10:04] <nicle> Flannel, thanks ! that's just what I want
[10:04] <Theaxiom> spanther: AHCI was not enabled
[10:04] <cdoublejj> flannel thanks for the help! so far so good all i need to do now is reboot and if all is well i can sudo rm -rf /home_backup
[10:05] <cdoublejj> oh flannel how big is the home backup
[10:05] <fjdksljk> ntfs-3g /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 returns error "Cannot mount disk, please try again later"
[10:05] <Flannel> nicle: I believe there's a workaround you may have to use to get update-manager to work (because you're switching repos as well as versions), google should find that easily enough.  Let me know if you have trouble with it.
[10:05] <Flannel> cdoublejj: Thats your old home dir.  Don't delete it until you're sure the new one works.
[10:05] <cdoublejj> k how big is it
[10:05] <Flannel> cdoublejj: and, its however big your old homedir was.  You can use df -h and look at your new one (on the separate partition)
[10:06] <fjdksljk> i dont think i like ntfs-3g very much, its not very nice to me
[10:06] <cdoublejj> k
[10:06] <Ms5> Ok, I'm asking the question again... I hope it's ok
[10:06] <prock> Hello, does any one know of an option to remove the scroll bar from a fullscreen terminal ? would there be an option for this ?
[10:07] <OMLX> how to update gimp2.4.5 to gimp 2.4.7 in ubuntu8.04?
[10:07] <Flannel> prock: there is.  Check in the settings.
[10:07] <Flannel> prock: oh, it might just be to remove it entirely, not just from full screen.  I don't remember.
[10:07] <unohu> Ms5: if the other comp can boot from external disk , i dont think it will be a problem , afaik
[10:08] <nicle> Flannel: thanks for you help! Unfortunately, my boss don't wanna take a risk to upgrade :(
[10:08] <prock> lol Flannel how did i miss that
[10:08] <unohu> prock: search for howtogeek transparent terminal howto
[10:08] <prock> cheers buddy
[10:08] <Theaxiom> Where does gparted read the partition information from if you are in a live cd environment?
[10:09] <unohu> Theaxiom: partition table i guess......
[10:09] <kimmey> !compiz
[10:10] <Flannel> nicle: There's more risk with sticking with edgy.  It doesn't get security updates.  Some major patches have happened recently, DNS, and SSL (not sure if SSL affected Edgy, to be honest). But also,if you want a slower timeschedule, try out an LTS.  Hardy is the current one (dapper is also current, but will only be supported foranother year), and (Hardy) will be supported until april of 2011.
[10:10] <znik> the wifi/wlan led of my laptop does not work! my kernel is 2.6.22-14-generic
[10:14] <nicle> Flannel: thanks for your adviser :)
[10:14] <cdoublejj> flannel it can't find the new home flolder
[10:14] <cdoublejj> i have a few ideas as to why
[10:15] <Flannel> nicle: but I will also point out if you upgrade to feisty (7.04) you might as well go at least to gutsy (7.10), because feisty will reach EOL in october
[10:16] <Flannel> cdoublejj: it'll be /home
[10:16] <cdoublejj> http://slexy.org/view/s2hpCln48I
[10:16] <Flannel> cdoublejj: if you moved your other one to /oldhome or whatever, and your install is working and you see your files, then its working
[10:16] <cdoublejj> that step when you go to the nano editor i could have put the new line in the wrong place
[10:16] <cdoublejj> well i ca not login
[10:16] <cdoublejj> can not*
[10:17] <krisbae> can I get a help about installing some packages from debian to ubuntu?
[10:17] <Flannel> cdoublejj: alright, reboot, at GRUB choose the recovery console
[10:17] <cdoublejj> k
[10:17] <Flannel> cdoublejj: you'll have a command line interface, but you'll be able to fix it.
[10:17] <Watza> Hi, I'm new on linux and I've got some stupid problems
[10:17] <Theaxiom> When I try to install grub, I get this error message, and I am chrooted from a live cd: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. - what does that mean?
[10:17] <nicle> Flannel: got it
[10:17] <cdoublejj> originaly linux had my new drive named 10.1 gb media gparted said it was called hdc1
[10:17] <Ms5> Where can I find some help about the GRUB ? What I want is to know more about the (hd 0,0) like stuff, because I want to do a modification to it
