[03:00] <nickrud> gaspipe1 you said you have a partition you want to leave as xp. Hopefully the first one on the disk. You could simply delete the second and third, and tell ubuntu to use the now unallocated space. It'll use it wisely
[03:00] <mountainma1> travisat and bazhang - no she can't get the iso burned.  wish me luck on the minimal, which i think i understand now....
[03:00] <mountainma1> thanks
[03:00] <Orbixx> nickrud: Did you see my question above?
[03:00] <nickrud> Orbixx no
[03:00] <Orbixx> nickrud: You wouldn't happen to know what could be causing my Firefox not to execute, would you? Any common problems? This is a fresh install.
[03:00] <bazhang> good luck mountainma1; may also want to look at the media quality; some of the Chinese/East asian couterfeits dont play nice with iso's
[03:00] <nickrud> have you tried running    /usr/bin/firefox    in a terminal?
[03:01] <nonewmsgs> Orbixx: run it in a terminal
[03:01] <Orbixx> just "firefox"?
[03:01] <nickrud> Orbixx either
[03:01] <cyborg> what is a trackerd process?
[03:01] <Orbixx> aha
[03:01] <Orbixx> sudo firefox worked
[03:01] <mountainma1> bazhang - i tried asian, north american and european mirror sites, no luck either way
[03:01] <Orbixx> firefox didn't
[03:01] <Luke> IndyGunFreak, pitr256: please note that I'm no tthe same person as Luke`
[03:01] <nickrud> Orbixx ah, you have run sudo firefox before I bet
[03:01] <nonewmsgs> that's weird
[03:02] <Orbixx> Nope.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> Luke: huh?
[03:02] <Orbixx> I tried with normal priveleges.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok.
[03:02] <Luke> IndyGunFreak: you were highlighting me instead of Luke`
[03:02] <gaspipe1> nickrud: ok so delete the 2 partitions after the ntfs (xp) ok, and yes the xp is the 1st partition as u said
[03:02] <Orbixx> Afterwards... It still doesn't work.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> Luke: ok, my bad
[03:02] <Luke> IndyGunFreak: and pitr256 PMed me
[03:02] <Luke> np
[03:02] <nickrud> Orbixx try moving ~/.mozilla  to ~/mozilla , and running it again
[03:02] <Luke> just wanted to let you know
[03:02] <bazhang> mountainma1: I would look into media quality or burn speed then; those excepted might be good to try burning on a different cd burner to see if the problem persists
[03:02] <Orbixx> nickrud: Nice one - it works.
[03:02] <Orbixx> nickrud: What does that do? Reset the permissions?
[03:02] <nickrud> gaspipe1 yes, exactly. Then when the installer comes to the partitioning phase, look for the 'use unallocated space'
[03:03] <nickrud> Orbixx no, it moved all the user config stuff out of the way, allowing firefox to recreate it
[03:03] <nonewmsgs> nickrud: so there really is a reason you aren't supposed to sudo everything
[03:03] <Orbixx> I see.
[03:03] <nickrud> nonewmsgs oh yes. That is exactly the reason.
[03:03] <mountainma1> bazhang - i tried burning other iso files on the burner, as i suspected that, and they were successful.  would media quality of burn speed still be a factor then?
[03:03] <Orbixx> ah
[03:03] <decay> anyone else get "Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. " when starting compiz? (which fails to start)
[03:03] <Orbixx> nickrud: I didn't notice the period :)
[03:04] <Orbixx> Moved it from a hidden directory to a visible one.
[03:04] <gaspipe1> nickrud: ok now i have the 1 (xp) partition and some free space (13234 MB free space) how do I have ubuntu use it wisely?
[03:04] <nickrud> Orbixx copy and paste? always double check me for typos ;)
[03:04] <Orbixx> Making Firefox think it's configs had gone walk-abouts.
[03:04] <FotoPhocus> Anyone know when the FireFox 3 final is coming out?
[03:04] <Orbixx> No no, you were correct.
[03:04] <gaspipe1> nickrud: i just saw that...ok
[03:04] <nickrud> gaspipe1 when you get to the partitioning phase, tell ubuntu to use the free space
[03:04] <nonewmsgs> gaspipe1: what i would do is have 1gb swap, 10gb / and the rest in /home
[03:04] <bazhang> mountainma1: could well be; also be sure you get the correct md5 and do the check cd test when booted into initial menu (livecd that is)
[03:05] <nickrud> nonewmsgs not enough space (13gb) for that to be practical
[03:05] <bazhang> FotoPhocus: sometime in June
[03:05] <FotoPhocus> bazhang:  Cool, thanks :)
[03:05] <mountainma1> bazhang: ok, how do i double check i get the correct md5?  and the live cd will have an opiton to check cd test?
[03:05] <gogeta> :)
[03:06] <Zackymc_k> I have searched high and low to find out the problem with me not being able to turn off my computer through the logout scree or the exit button...any ideas?
[03:06] <gogeta> Zackymc_k for a auto shutdown you need acpi/apm support
[03:06] <kreative> hey
[03:07] <bazhang> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ on this page mountainma1 is the md5 sum you can /msg ubotu md5 for how to do it
[03:07] <kreative> I'm trying to build my amarok library with my shared ntfs folder
[03:07] <kreative> but it isnt in amarok
[03:07] <Zackymc_k> i was able to until last week then... no turn off
[03:07] <Orbixx> nickrud: Many thanks for all your help tonight.
[03:07] <mneptok> Zackymc_k: which version of Ubuntu?
[03:07] <bazhang> kreative: did you tell it to look in that folder?
[03:08] <gogeta> Zackymc_k might have ben broken somehow
[03:08] <nickrud> Orbixx you're welcome. Learn fast, there's gonna be lots of new helpers needed
[03:08] <nonewmsgs> yes nickrud is truly on fire tonight :)
[03:08] <kreative> the folder isnt recognized by amarok
[03:08] <gogeta> nickrud new helpers?
[03:08] <bazhang> nonewmsgs: as always ;]
[03:08]  * mneptok reminds himself to vacate IRC during release week >:)
[03:08] <Zackymc_k> mneptok: 7.10
[03:08] <Orbixx> nickrud: I intend on doing so.
[03:08] <gaspipe1> nonewmsgs: i only have 11 gb free... still use 1gb for swap (1000 MB) and 10gb (10000 MB)?
[03:08] <mneptok> Zackymc_k: what kernel?
[03:08] <nickrud> gogeta people answering questions they know
[03:08] <Orbixx> nickrud: Prior to installing Ubuntu, I've had lots of Linux server experience.
[03:08] <Orbixx> nickrud: Ubuntu is my first proper Linux desktop installation.
[03:09] <nonewmsgs> ermmmm maybe see what it recomecnds
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Zackymc_k, did you have any unofficial repos prior to an update?
[03:09] <Orbixx> nickrud: Always been predominantly windows.
[03:09] <gogeta> nickrud yea and we have been doing that for
[03:09] <gogeta> nickrud lol
[03:09] <gaspipe1> nickrud: should I use the 512 as swap?
[03:09] <gogeta> Orbixx redhat 6 days
[03:09] <Zackymc_k> I don't believe so
[03:09] <nickrud> Orbixx ah, there are always server questions here. Ubuntu has some different config philosophies, but they aren't hard to learn
[03:09] <bazhang> gaspipe1: want at least one gig iirc
[03:09] <Orbixx> nickrud: Service configurations are my speciality :D
[03:10] <nickrud> gaspipe1 do you plan on hibernating the machine? If so, you should have at least ram+100mb
[03:10] <gaspipe1> bazhang: so 1000 for swap?
[03:10] <jon_high9000> hi there.
[03:10] <mneptok> gaspipe1: desktop or laptop?
[03:10] <gogeta> spkg reconfigure or doing it yourself
[03:10] <gogeta> d
[03:10] <gogeta> kik
[03:10] <gaspipe1> mneptok: desktop
[03:10] <mneptok> gaspipe1: how much physical memory?
[03:10] <bazhang> gaspipe1: if it is a laptop then yes and you want to hibernate
[03:10] <BrownDoggBrew> Hows every one doing tonight?
[03:10] <Zackymc_k> mneptok: I ran updates right after i installed ubuntu 7.10... fresh install with nothing else then a wep key
[03:10] <gogeta> nickrud relese day im hiding
[03:10] <gaspipe1> mneptok: ahhh 2 gigs i think at least
[03:11] <dweiss> a
[03:11] <fevel> how can I upgrade from gutsy to hoary/
[03:11] <fevel> ?
[03:11] <mneptok> gaspipe1: "free -m" will tell you
[03:11] <nickrud> gogeta hahahhaha the evil ops dragged me in for the release, I'm gonna be buussssyyy!
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: you can't
[03:11] <fevel> yes I can
[03:11] <fbc> I have seen videos on you tube with ubuntu and beryl and windows going out in flames. Will the compiz that is loaded by default do that now that compiz and beryl have merged, or what do I have to do?
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: no you can't
[03:11] <fevel> to the beta version
[03:11] <gogeta> nickrud you where aruldy in hiding lol
[03:11] <Zackymc_k> sory... i meant jack_sparrow
[03:11] <Shadow420> gaspipe1 yeah bazhang is right at least a 1GB for the swap have 1.5GB for my swap
[03:11] <gaspipe1> mneptok: where do i type that?
[03:11] <mneptok> fevel: i think you mean "Hardy"
[03:11] <mneptok> gaspipe1: Linux terminal
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> !hardy | fevel think abotu what you said
[03:11] <ubotu> fevel think abotu what you said: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[03:11] <gaspipe1> mneptok: in terminal?
[03:12] <gogeta> nickrud those eveil ops will probly ban we again when i sware at a windows noob
[03:12] <mneptok> gaspipe1: are you in the installer?
[03:12] <fevel> sorry hardy
[03:12] <gaspipe1> mneptok: yes
[03:12] <gogeta> :)
[03:12] <Zackymc_k> Jack_Sparrow: I ran updates right after i installed ubuntu 7.10... fresh install with nothing else then a wep key
[03:12] <mneptok> gaspipe1: ctl-alt-f6 will get you another vconsole
[03:12] <nickrud> gogeta yes, I might very well
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: why would you want to upgrade to a beta version of Linux?
[03:12] <fbc> gogeta, don't worry I swear at windows all the time..
[03:13] <Shadow420> yes keep anything hardy wise to #ubuntu+1 not here
[03:13] <gogeta> :P
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> zachrather odd..
[03:13]  * mneptok laughs at the Fedora Core 9 "New Firstboot" placeholder graphic
[03:13] <fevel> IndyGunFreak,  My main system is 7.10 which I run virtualbox with a windows and another ubuntu virtually
[03:13] <nickrud> fbc if you haven't had an answer, yes you can
[03:13] <gogeta> fevel kinda exxesiv
[03:13] <fbc> nickrud, how?
[03:13] <mneptok> fevel: wait until release, then switch to KVM
[03:13] <Shadow420> fbc I use windows quite abit ubuntu I use for a change of pace
[03:14] <gogeta> 2 ubuntu
[03:14] <fevel> IndyGunFreak,  now you see... the other ubuntu is because I need a special gtkpod version that comes on its repos
[03:14] <cirkit> hi ... is ubuntu is good alternative to windows vista?
[03:14] <fevel> for my ipod touch
[03:14] <Shadow420> I can't emulate another pc mine is to old and outdated
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> fevel: so you run an entire distribution just for a special verison of gtkpod?..
[03:14] <mneptok> Shadow420: grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
[03:15] <nickrud> fbc first, install compizconfig-settings-manager, then go to system->prefs->advanced desktop. ON there look for the animations button under effects
[03:15] <gogeta> cirkit dead monkeys area good alternitiv to vista
[03:15] <Cpudan80> fevel: But I mean - most all things come from some source - you could just compile it on ubuntu
[03:15] <cirkit> gogeta: where can I download that from?
[03:15] <Cpudan80> Be a man! use GCC! :-P
[03:15] <fevel> IndyGunFreak,  its much simpler than compiling it from source. It has major issues
[03:15] <gogeta> lol
[03:15] <Zackymc_k> is there a terminal shutdown code to use... im fine with shuting down in terminal i just need to know how to do it   :)
[03:15] <Cpudan80> Actually real men use only binary
[03:15] <bazhang> mountainma1: one final thought; you are burning these as images right? and this is on windows? what app are you using? isorecorder2 does a very good job with that
[03:15] <gogeta> cirkit but anything in better then vista xp any linux
[03:16] <mneptok> Zackymc_k: sudo shutdown -h now
[03:16] <Cpudan80> But.... that's a bit too commando for most people
[03:16] <cirkit> anybody can help locate dead monkeys linux for downloading?
[03:16] <gogeta> cirkit ubuntu being the easy one :)
[03:16] <Daisuke_Ido> cirkit, it was a joke...
[03:16] <cirkit> ok
[03:16] <Daisuke_Ido> in other words, anything is a good alternative to vista :)
[03:16] <cirkit> ahh
[03:17] <gogeta> Daisuke_Ido lol he took dead monkeys as a distro lol
[03:17]  * mneptok waves the giant "OFFTOPIC!" flag
[03:17] <Zackymc_k> mneptok: Thanks

[03:17] <kona> hi - what is support channel for hardy heron?
[03:17] <jon_high9000> hi there. is there a quick way to set up a repository from Launch.net? i am having problems finding it (repositories) on Launchpad.
[03:17] <nickrud> kona #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1
[03:17] <gogeta> mneptok acully he asked if ubuntu was a alt
[03:17] <Shadow420> kona | !hardy
[03:17] <fbc> nickrud, cool i'm on it..
[03:17] <gogeta> mneptok ontopic
[03:17] <kona> is it ubuntu#1 ?
[03:17] <Shadow420> kona yes
[03:18] <mneptok> kona: #ubuntu+1
[03:18] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 kona
[03:18] <jon_high9000> additionally, I am on Ubuntu 7..10 FYI.
[03:18] <kona> bazhang: opps - thx much
[03:18] <Shadow420> I might make a partition to try out hardy but I am not sure
[03:18] <jon_high9000> 7.10
[03:18] <gogeta> Shadow420 i normaly run the late betas and final version
[03:19] <Shadow420> jon_high9000 you are in the right room
[03:19] <gogeta> Shadow420 being on dailhell  i gotta wait
[03:19] <jon_high9000> Glad to hear it. lol
[03:19] <mountainma1> bazhang: i haven't even got past the md5sum since the first cd i burned didn't work.  when i do md5sum on the mini.iso all i get is "no properly formed md5sums found" and no, i'm usuing another linux computer, and used a basic cd/dvd burner that comes up when i right click
[03:19] <nickrud> jon_high9000 the page for the ppa should have the right deb line on it
[03:19] <Shadow420> gogeta I know the feeling I used to be on dialup
[03:19] <gogeta> :-(
[03:20] <bazhang> mountainma1: you are burning as data or as an image? and the other distros you burned did you boot up into them?
[03:20] <gogeta> Shadow420 used to be brodband going back hurts
[03:20] <fbc> nickrud, there no ON check mark just and integration on... is that the one?
[03:20] <nickrud> gogeta seriously though, general chatter does belong in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:20] <jon_high9000> i am also a Noob.
[03:20] <Shadow420> gogeta what happen to your broadband?
[03:20] <Karger1978>  Hey, i tried to do X out though my pvr 350 and all i get on the is an XFace page, i can see my mouse like it's duel montior,  but if i drop and drag any app on it, no work.  Anyone have any ideas
[03:20] <nickrud> fbc not sure what you mean there
[03:21] <nickrud> gogeta i've got to get my tendency to drift under control, the next few weeks here are going to scrolling heck
[03:21] <LineOf7s> If I want to create an empty text file - like a log file that needs to be there so it can be updated etc - is the "touch" command the best tool for the job?
[03:21] <nickrud> LineOf7s yes
[03:21] <LineOf7s> Thankyou.
[03:22] <gogeta> nickrud heh i knoe moving this to offtopic
[03:22] <gogeta> .join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:22] <gogeta> lol oops
[03:22] <mountainma1> bazhang: i belive i was burning as an image...but now i'm not too sure.  i only burned one distro, and when i tried booting up with it i get the ubuntu live cd screen but when i choose install or start it takes me to an unusual shell of some sort.  but i've stopped trying to burn until the md5sum is figured out
[03:22] <jon_high9000> nickrud, any idea which you are referring to? Ubuntu`s site or Launchpad's?
[03:22] <nickrud> jon_high9000 I'm talking about launchpad ppa, personal package archives
[03:23] <gaspipe1> wow that was crazy (ctrl-alt f6)
[03:23] <mneptok> jon_high9000: what are you trying to do?
[03:23] <Shadow420> I am getting the Hardy beta to try it out
[03:23] <bazhang> mountainma1: how about downloading something like puppy linux (about 50MB) and see if that will boot?
[03:23] <jon_high9000> mneptok, i am trying to setup my repositories.
[03:23] <mountainma1> bazhang: problem is a friend had set me up on linux, and did all this stuff for me awhile back.  ok, what is puppy linux?
[03:24] <Shadow420> I will use #ubuntu+1 for support but I will come here to help people with gutsy
[03:24] <nickrud> !gutsysources | jon_high9000 if you're just trying to get good ubuntu sources, do this (you did mention ppa's to start ;)
[03:24] <ubotu> jon_high9000 if you're just trying to get good ubuntu sources, do this (you did mention ppa's to start ;): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates).
[03:24] <jon_high9000> so far, i have medibuntu ppa
[03:24] <gogeta> Shadow420 well im in the offtopic channel now if you whanted a answer
[03:24] <Shadow420> gogeta ok I will got there now
[03:24] <bazhang> mountainma1: a very small linux distro that will allow you to check if you can boot any iso burned to cd; we can then rule out hardware issues mostly
[03:24] <mountainma1> bazhang: are you familiar at all with the BusyBox Built-in shell?
[03:24] <mneptok> jon_high9000: why do you need to set up repositories?
[03:24] <gogeta> Shadow420 oh you got the im
[03:24] <gogeta> nv
[03:25] <gaspipe1> bazhang: i have a total of 13234 free space on my HDD
[03:25] <nickrud> jon_high9000 ok, you should read some pages, I'll link you to them so you can get some fundamentals about repos. I'd strongly recommend sticking with the standard ubuntu ones (and maybe medibuntu) until you have a good feel for how the system works
[03:25] <nickrud> !components | jon_high9000
[03:25] <ubotu> jon_high9000: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories
[03:25] <jon_high9000> for extra insurance, just in case.
[03:25] <mneptok> jon_high9000: totally not necessary, and you stand a good chance of breaking your system
[03:25] <jon_high9000> if i need access to software on the fly.
[03:26] <bazhang> gaspipe1: okay; now you want to install correct?
[03:26] <mneptok> jon_high9000: the default repos give you that
[03:26] <gaspipe1> bazhang: yes
[03:26] <gaspipe1> bazhang: how much space should i allocate to the SWAP?
[03:26] <gaspipe1> btw what was that link for the dual xp and ubuntu install
[03:26] <bazhang> gaspipe1: well then go ahead, and if you get stuck we can help you through it--swap should be a gig or more, depending on how much ram you have
[03:27] <bazhang> gaspipe1: the ubuntu installer will see your xp install and include it in grub so no worries there
[03:29] <MAzeMiami> Hello people having an issue !! i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my server i am able to ping but cant ssh in ... any ideas ???
[03:30] <nickrud> MAzeMiami have you installed openssh-server ? Doesn't come standard
[03:30] <smplh> hi, I recently updated my linux installation and it changed my grub's menu.lst which means I've lost all my custom boot info...and unfortunately I don't remember what they were before...so I need to know how to find my drive partition info to set it up
[03:30] <gaspipe1> can the person who sent me the link for the dual boot xp and ubuntu pls send it again
[03:30] <nickrud> MAzeMiami erm, you said server ;(
[03:30] <gaspipe1> srry, had to reboot
[03:30] <MAzeMiami> not think so maybe thats the issue
[03:30] <gaspipe1> bazhang: i always feel like i'm doing this late at night w/out properlly looking into it
[03:30] <nickrud> smplh  sudo fdisk -l to determine partitions,   blkid to get the uuid's for the partitions
[03:31] <mneptok> nickrud: openssh-server is not standard for any Ubuntu
[03:31] <mountainma1> bazhang: doesn't the fact that the ubuntu live cd menu options come up from the live cd rule out hardware problems?  and when i select install or start, it takes me to a busy Box built-in shell
[03:31] <bazhang> http://howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty gaspipe1 (your scroll key broken? ;] )
[03:31] <nickrud> mneptok not for the server either? Never installed that
[03:31] <smplh> thanks :)
[03:31] <gaspipe1> bazhang: no, i had to reboot, lost everything
[03:32] <mneptok> nickrud: correct. unless you specify a LAMP install, no public facing daemons are installed with Ubuntu server
[03:32] <MAzeMiami> nickrud how do i install this ?
[03:32] <Orbixx_> Anyone got some spare default samba configs going?
[03:32] <mneptok> MAzeMiami: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:32] <nullbnx_> can you setup wpa on a wap?
[03:32] <bazhang> mountainma1: just trying to be complete here; trying to eliminate all possible reasons for problem--that busybox shell is not a good sign though
[03:32] <nickrud> mneptok ah, ok. that tells me a lot, thanks
[03:32] <Karger1978> Quick question. how do you change the x windows a specific display?
[03:32] <mneptok> nickrud: reduces potential exploitable vectors
[03:33] <nickrud> mneptok yes. Standard policy for desktop, didn't realize it was also the policy for server installs. So, the server install doesn't really include any servers by default
[03:33] <MrSteve> to use unetbootin... I install the second drive, format and partition it, as a Boot Drive?
[03:33] <bazhang> Karger1978: multiple displays?
[03:33] <uppp> i want help to install eclipse
[03:33] <Karger1978> yeah
[03:34] <MAzeMiami> nickrud do i need to be connected to install this ?
[03:34] <mneptok> nickrud: quite right
[03:34] <MAzeMiami> or is it a file that just need to exucuted
[03:34] <bazhang> MrSteve: what system is on there; the one you want to use unetbootin with
[03:34] <uppp> i want help to install eclipse
[03:34] <Karger1978> right now i have a display on my tv that says xfce
[03:34] <jon_high9000> nickrud, I plan backing up the basic repositories mainly to save time on downloading updates.
[03:34] <Karger1978> my monitor works
[03:34] <nickrud> uppp get a copy from eclipse.org , and untar it into /opt . Then sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/bin/eclipse .  That's one way
[03:34] <MrSteve> bazhang XP is on c:\
[03:34] <nickrud> MAzeMiami yes, must be on line
[03:34] <mneptok> drive letters. how quaint.
[03:35] <bazhang> MrSteve: you considered wubi?
[03:35] <geZe> hi, my pc crashed twice today after it was in screensaver mode and I moved the mouse. There were no error messages, just a reboot. I looked in var/log/messages but I can't find any error their too. Any ideas?
[03:35] <MAzeMiami> ok
[03:35] <MrSteve> bazhang - got no burner
[03:35] <MAzeMiami> thank you
[03:35] <BrownDoggBrew> drive letters. how quaint, haha
[03:35] <yclian> geZe, happened to me. in the end I stopped using screensaver. lol ;)
[03:35] <Pelo> jon_high9000, your backup will  not be updated, you won'T be saving times on downloads
[03:35] <smplh> how does this look for my XP partition?:
[03:35] <smplh> title                        Windows XP Professional
[03:35] <smplh> root                       /dev/sda3
[03:35] <smplh> quiet
[03:35] <mneptok> geZe: got hardware 3D acceleration?
[03:35] <FloodBot1> smplh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:35] <nickrud> MAzeMiami erm, possibly the server is on the cd. I'm hazy on server installs, as you saw
[03:36] <mountainma1> bazhang: so still try the puppy distro?  on another train of thought--perhaps there can be something done to recover my previously running sys.  my problem was in trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10...something went wrong and when i boot up, the ubuntu screen comes up, but the screen goes a blue-green colour (as if in screensaver mode) before any login can happen.  perhaps there's something that can be done at a terminal level with that instead?  what do yo
[03:36] <Pelo> smplh, you need to add   chainloader +1  and savedefault
[03:36] <Pelo> smplh, before quiet
[03:36] <jon_high9000> Pelo, you have tried this then i take it?
[03:37] <nickrud> smplh and root should be (hd0,2) if it's on sda3
[03:37] <MrSteve> So.. I need to install a second hard disk, and make it formatted, and make it bootable?
[03:37] <bazhang> mountainma1: something went wrong? you stopped the install process mid-stream? power outage? could you  specify?
[03:37] <zero> hey i have a folder i can't delete from trash, can anyone tel me how to fix this?
[03:37] <smplh> oh ok, thanks
[03:37] <Pelo> jon_high9000,  the point of the repos is that they get updated,  once you make a backup of it , what ever get updated after you made the backup you will need to download anyway
[03:38] <geZe> mneptok, just "ati accelerated graphics driver"
[03:38] <nickrud> zero ls -l ~/.Trash , if it's owned by root, sudo rm -r ~/.Trash/<foldername>
[03:38] <zero88> What would i use to encrypt data travelling over my network
[03:39] <MrSteve> I need to install Ubuntu on a second hard disk, I have XP on c:, and unetbootin, no burner.
[03:39] <zero> thanks
[03:39] <mountainma1> bazhang: i wish i could specify.  all i know is that i let it run overnight. "it" being the update.  i was working on it some, wordprocessing, email etc.  noticed only a couple of things different.  i then shut it down. next time i went to use it, the ubuntu start-up screen appeared but then didn't log in (as described above)
[03:39] <nickrud> zero a reason to avoid sudo nautilus
[03:39] <jon_high9000> Pelo, fair enough, thank you for the heads up on this issue. I am very new at this. still learning.
[03:39] <Itaku> how do i sync my time with the internet servers?
[03:40] <mountainma1> bazhang: i thought it would be easier to just make a liveCD and take it to the computer and start over....but so far that has not been the case...
[03:40] <nickrud> Itaku right click the clock on the panel, and select adjust time
[03:40] <bwayne> Itaku: you can use a prgram called 'ntp'.
[03:40] <Pelo> jon_high9000, you can always get the dvd , it has the full main and universe repositories on it,  that woud save time if you use it of install on multiple computers, or if you have to install on computers that are not connected
[03:40] <Itaku> nickrud: when i select sync with internet server it says i neep ntp which i got
[03:40] <zero> nickrud, yeah i didnt use any special commands, it was a DSL ISO i downloaded
[03:41] <Itaku> bwayne: i got it
[03:41] <nickrud> Itaku did you select a time server ?
[03:41] <Itaku> how?
[03:41] <mountainma1> bazhang: i wonder if trying a different distro, like xubuntu would help?
[03:41] <Pelo> Itaku, the ccalendar/clock in the top panel on the right ,  right click , set time , you can select time severs from there
[03:41] <nickrud> Itaku hit the select servers button
[03:41] <jon_high9000> Pelo, you referring to the Live CD?
[03:41] <linkinxp> buenas noches :)
[03:41] <Pelo> jon_high9000, the live DVD , it's 4 gig however
[03:41] <Itaku> time zone?
[03:41] <bazhang> mountainma1: well your choice what you wish to try really; something small and see if it boots would be my recommendation to rule out hardware issues
[03:41] <Itaku> wheres that button?
[03:42] <Itaku> im using gnome
[03:42] <mneptok> Itaku: sudo ntpdate time.berkeley.netdot.net
[03:42] <bwayne>  /etc/ntp.conf should have a list of commented servers as well.
[03:42] <Pelo> jon_high9000, but same as with the backup thing you were mentionning,  if new versions of these packages come out you will need to get those online as well
[03:42] <jon_high9000> Pelo, I understand.
[03:42] <nickrud> Itaku it'll take some time to bring your time into sync. And no, it's on the same window you get when you select ajust time, at the bottom
[03:42] <geZe> yclian, did you use a custom screensaver? or just a black one?
[03:42] <Itaku> 15 Apr 22:42:26 ntpdate[9877]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[03:42] <yclian> geZe, my guess is that there's a 3D issue. I use random screenies.
[03:42] <bazhang> Itaku: you are synced!
[03:43] <yclian> *used.
[03:43] <nickrud> Itaku that means you're in sync (or skewing towards it, slowly)
[03:43] <tawt> why is it that when i now go to youtube, i get a grey box where the vid should be?  i've had this problem for about 5 minutes now and i have been able to watch youtube before this.
[03:43] <Itaku> nickrud: i got ntp running and when i select keep synced with servers it says its not installed
[03:43] <geZe> mh, i just use the default black one
[03:43] <jon_high9000> Pelo, APTonCD
[03:43] <yclian> geZe, oh :-)
[03:43] <nullbnx_> how would i be able to monitor what computers are connecting through my server?
[03:43] <Pelo> twat issue with youtube maybe ?
[03:43] <geZe> would be kinda weird to have a 3d issue with that :D
[03:43] <tawt> maybe
[03:43] <mneptok> Itaku: then you installed ntpd, and it is running
[03:43] <bazhang> jon_high9000: just mirror the repos; only 45GB
[03:44] <jrib> tawt: 64bit version of ubuntu?
[03:44] <mneptok> Itaku: stop picking at it :)
[03:44] <MrSteve> I need to install Ubuntu on a second hard disk, I have XP on c:, and unetbootin, no burner.
[03:44] <tawt> jrib yes
[03:44] <jrib> tawt: npviewer crashed.  Kill your browser and try again
[03:44] <tawt> jrib ok, thanks
[03:44] <nickrud> Itaku that's very odd, I think you're looking at things wrong.  ps -A | grep ntp , is it running?
[03:44] <Pelo> jon_high9000, aptoncd is a way to create cd repositories from pacakges you'Ve downloaded,  usefull if you need to carry packages taht are not in the main and universe repos or if you have downloaded .deb packages from other sources
[03:45] <Pelo> jon_high9000, just to make sure I am upto speed here, what do you intend to do exactly ?
[03:45] <nickrud> mneptok hahaha, a good line I'm gonna steal that one
[03:45] <Itaku> got it
[03:45] <Itaku> thanks
[03:45] <bazhang> !yay | Itaku
[03:45] <ubotu> Itaku: Glad you made it! :-)
[03:46] <MrSteve> Do I install the second drive as secondary master, partition it.. what?  As a Boot drive?
[03:47] <jon_high9000> Pelo, i was merely mentioning the software aptoncd cause it somewhat parallels another program that copies the Ubuntu repo's
[03:47] <nickrud> MrSteve no clue about unetbootin, but when you get the installer running, just point it at the second drive as free space, and the installer will take it from there. And it will leave c:\ (ew, driver letter ;) alone
[03:47] <Pelo> MrSteve, depends on how you plug it in ,  if you put it on the same strap as your other hdd, then  put it as slave , partition it how ever you want
[03:48] <Pelo> jon_high9000, I used aptoncd to make a cd of a butload of apps for my aunt that is not connected to the internet so she could have games and stuff that wasn'T on the install cd,  if that gives you an idea of it's use
[03:48] <MrSteve> I think it has to be secondary master... same ribbon
[03:49] <MrSteve> But, xp will not boot the second disk..
[03:49] <nickrud> MrSteve same ribbon, then it's the slave. Other ribbon, it can be master
[03:49] <Pelo> MrSteve, same ribbon , primary slave,   differennt ribbon secondayr master
[03:49] <MrSteve> nothing will be on it
[03:49] <jon_high9000> Pelo, Wow!
[03:49] <Pelo> MrSteve, you can boot xp on a second hdd you just need to mess with grub a little
[03:49] <mneptok> MrSteve: Windows must always be on the primary disk on an IDE chain
[03:49] <jon_high9000> not worth using then.
[03:50] <MrSteve> okay.. that is help.. the cd-rom is on the second ribbon, ithink
[03:50] <Pelo> MrSteve, ignore my last comment
[03:50] <MrSteve> yes mnemo - it is on there
[03:50] <nickrud> jon_high9000 if you're really serious about building a cache of packages, you should look at apt-mirror. If you google it, there's a lot of howto's
[03:50] <Pelo> jon_high9000, well , you can use it to make a backup of packages from third party source but not for what you seem to have in mind
[03:50] <MrSteve> yes mneptok -- it is on there
[03:51] <jon_high9000> Pelo, I understand the next version of Ubuntu (8.04) is to be released on April 24th.
[03:51] <MrSteve> so.. this hard disk is Maxtor.. do I tell it to format the new drive fat.. and make it bootable?
[03:51] <Pelo> jon_high9000, yes
[03:52] <ryanzec> i tried doing rm -Rf *.wav but it does not remove all wav  files, how can i do that in one command?
[03:52] <ryanzec> i am doing that in my Music folder BTW
[03:52] <gokorn> http://rafb.net/p/Z1WzKt35.html
[03:52] <jon_high9000> i might wait and download that and try it out on the 24th.
[03:52] <gokorn> what m i doing wrong?
[03:53] <xugang> hello ervery body
[03:53] <nickrud> MrSteve it will be formatted as ext3 , not any windows style format.
[03:53] <Pelo> jon_high9000,  on the 24th you will be given the option to upgrade online,  you wont, have to reinstall if you instll gutsy now
[03:53] <MrSteve> nickrud so, I tell the Maxtor software to make drive 2, ext3
[03:53] <nickrud> MrSteve you would be best off just making sure the bios can see the drive properly (unformatted) and starting the install
[03:53] <jon_high9000> cool.
[03:54] <Pelo> gokorn, can you summerize the problem here first , it's a busy channel we don'T open random links for fun
[03:54] <Orbixx_> nickrud: I decided to install proftpd integrated into inetd (something I've never done before, always gone for solo daemon).
[03:54] <MrSteve> "completely confused"
[03:55] <Orbixx_> It reports it's running - but I can't seem to make a connection.
[03:55] <rendero>  hello, i noticed web pages waits a long time, sometimes are timed out, when more than 8 pcs are connected to squid , is it normal ? how do i do to optimize ?
[03:55] <Orbixx_> I can only assume inetd isn't running or something like that.
[03:55] <Pelo> MrSteve, plug the new hdd in,  boot up the computer, go into ubuntu,  start gparted,  locate the new hdd,  add partiton table,  make new partions apply
[03:55] <nickrud> MrSteve the installer will handle the formatting of the disk, you don't need to use the maxtor software. After you start the computer, press f2 or delete or whatever it takes to get into the bios, and see if the disk is recognized. If it is, just go on to the installer
[03:56] <bazhang> MrSteve: no cd drive right? this is via unetbootin you want to do it correct?
[03:56] <Pelo> rendero, maybe your 8 pcs consume to much bandwith
[03:56] <pitr256> rendero: you might want to discuss on a squid channel or something.
[03:56] <nickrud> MrSteve and continue with Pelo 's instructions
[03:56] <MrSteve> bazhang Well.. I got no CD..
[03:56] <MrSteve> bazhang I downloaded the ISO
[03:56] <MrSteve> the ISO is on winders drive
[03:57] <bazhang> MrSteve: no cd or no cd drive
[03:57] <MrSteve> bazhang -- I was also told about LiLo Wubi and Unetbootin
[03:57] <MrSteve> bazhang -- no burner, just cd-rom
[03:57] <rendero> Pelo, i thought, may be i am wrong, that it does not matter in 8 pcs ? what about so much more ? is not squid for so many pcs ? is there another program doing the same ?
[03:58] <bazhang> MrSteve: you mean lubi wubi and unetbootin right?
[03:58] <pitr256> rendero, what kind of hardware is squid on?
[03:58] <jon_high9000>  Pelo,  For what it is worth, thank you very much for your help this evening.
[03:58] <rendero> pitr256, may be that is the problem a 64mb ram pc :S
[03:58] <MrSteve> bazhang -- I like the fact Unetbootin is installing from the net, cas I got no cd burnt to do it
[03:59] <pitr256> rendero, and processor and network link?
[03:59] <MrSteve> bazhang -- However.. I had a Burner (it broke) and I have Nero 5
[03:59] <thc_oi> hi there
[04:00] <Pelo> rendero, I'm not sure what squid is but the most likely reason for pages timing out and stuff is that the info is not transfering,   this might be caused by other applications eating up all your bandwith,  which is likely if you have 8 computers doing some online thing at the same time on the same connection
[04:00] <rendero> pitr256, i think an old processor, sorry i can tell you more, but may be you are thinking about the same i thought, that servers requires a more powerfool pc
[04:00] <thc_oi> i just released easyhotspot few weeks ago
[04:00] <thc_oi> http://easyhotspot.sourceforge.net
[04:00] <Pelo> jon_high9000, my help isn'T worth much, ask anyone , but I 'm glad i could be of some small service
[04:00] <thc_oi> based on xubuntu
[04:00] <Pelo> thc_oi, what is easyhotpsot ?
[04:00] <nickrud> thc_oi please don't advertise on #ubuntu, it's more likely welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic (maybe)
[04:01] <thc_oi> ok
[04:01] <thc_oi> sorry
[04:01] <jon_high9000> Pelo, ok good night. take care.
[04:01] <pitr256> rendero, squid is quite capable of handle thousands of PCs behind it. The hardware it's running on will be the limiting factor
[04:01] <bazhang> http://www.linux.com/feature/124684 MrSteve have you read this yet?
[04:01] <pitr256> rendero, if it's on Linux, run top while the users are on it
[04:01] <rendero> Pelo, but i think 8 pcs just surfing the web does not have to be a problem about bandwidth
[04:02] <Pelo> rendero, you would be surprised
[04:03] <Pelo> thc_oi, I just went to your website ,  have you ever heard of "contrast" ?
[04:03] <nickrud> one pc doing torrents can drag down a mediocre dsl
[04:03] <bazhang> MrSteve: you will likely want the exe for your windows machine to get unetbootin going
[04:03] <mehal88> i need some help setting up dual screens in hardy
[04:03] <nickrud> mehal88 #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release,  /j #ubuntu+1
[04:03] <Pelo> mehal88, ask in #ubuntu+1 and read this
[04:03] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 plese mehal88
[04:03] <mehal88> okay thanks
[04:03] <Pelo> !dualhead > mehal88 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[04:04] <zero88> anyone know if the program JAHSHAKA is in the repoes?
[04:04] <Pelo> zero88, just check ,  menu > system > admin > synaptic
[04:05] <zero88> pelo thanks. i heard somewhere you had to add a repo to your list tho. but i cant find where
[04:05] <MrSteve> bazhang -- I read the UnetBootin website at sourceForge..
[04:06] <bazhang> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198821 on this page MrSteve scroll down for the exe file
[04:06] <Zelta> Help! .mp3 files often cause my media players to freeze up.
[04:06] <Pelo> zero88, check in the menus of synaptic, find the entry for repositories, click,   check all the boxes on the first and 3rd tab , close and relaod, search again

[04:06] <MrSteve> bazhang -- a bit confused because in the past, I installed a drive and formatted it, then partitioned it.
[04:06] <nickrud> zero88 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590060
[04:06] <bazhang> MrSteve: the linux.com has a good overview
[04:06] <Zelta> Pelo: I have .mp3 codecs working, but occasionally it will cause my media player to freeze
[04:06] <Pelo> MrSteve, prtition then format but gparted does both at the same time so no worries
[04:07] <MrSteve> bazhang will the unetbootin format the second drive for me.. in the install?
[04:07] <Pelo> Zelta, it might be a bad file
[04:07] <zero88> thanks nickrud , Pelo
[04:07] <fevel> canI umount every filesystem for editing?

[04:08] <nickrud> linkinxp usually as a modifier for another key, like windows-e . It's also known as Super and Mod4
[04:08] <Zelta> It is a problem with the codec, I believe
[04:08] <Pelo> MrSteve, sand the little widows logo off that's what I ddi
[04:08] <zero88> I know Linux doesnt really need anything more then something liek Firestarter. But i was wondering if there was something along the lines of ZoneAlarm Security Suite out there for linux?
[04:08] <Zelta> Is there a way I can reinstall the codec?
[04:08] <linkinxp> nickrud:  mmm ok thanks

[04:09] <zero88> d3lf1n0: try to explain that again. That didnt really come across real clear
[04:09] <slowlearner> hi can anyone help me upgrade to gutsy,. i'm having problem upgrading via the commandline. It just goes on but never upgrades
[04:09] <bazhang> zero88: you can get avast linux version for viruses; for firewalls then iptables (firestarter as a frontend) is it
[04:10] <zero88> slowlearner: youll be much happier to backup your files and do a fresh install with KDE :)
[04:10] <MrSteve> bazhang oh great.. I use avast already
[04:10] <Pelo> d3lf1n0, can you  please rephrase your question ?
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> yes sorry i'm italian
[04:10] <ritalin> hey
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> well
[04:10] <bazhang> Zelta: yeah to the wierd repos and third party scripts question?
[04:10] <slowlearner> zero88 i have a server, not desktop

[04:10] <bwayne> best is to use the astaro free edition on it's own dedicated box or in a VM.
[04:10] <ritalin> how do i enable root?
[04:10] <Zelta> yes bazhang

[04:10] <Zelta> see ^
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> ok
[04:10] <zero88> bazhang: hah! didnt know avast had a version for Linux? Have you tried it?
[04:10] <ritalin> !root
[04:10] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:10] <d3lf1n0> thanks

[04:11] <Zelta> Pelo: But I am also having issues with flash files
[04:11] <bwayne> ritalin: no root for you!
[04:11] <nickrud> ritalin sudo -i , you get a root terminal that way
[04:11] <bazhang> zero88: never found the need as I dont administer a windows mail server--really the only reason you would want it
[04:11] <Zelta> Pelo: Flash files cause players to freeze as well
[04:11] <slowlearner> hi can anyone help me upgrade to gutsy,. i'm having problem upgrading via the commandline. It just goes on but never upgrades
[04:11] <Zelta> .swf and .flv
[04:11] <ritalin> i want root
[04:11] <ritalin> the real deal
[04:11] <ritalin> is it possible?
[04:11] <ggeecko> does root-tail work with gnome
[04:11] <nicolas_> hello
[04:11] <Pelo> Zelta,  the package for flash is flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic as well
[04:11] <bazhang> Zelta: could you please pastebin your sources.list?
[04:11] <bwayne> ritalin: doing that puts you in Ubuntu unsupported mode.  :-)
[04:11] <Zelta> okay bazhang
[04:11] <zero88> bazhang: ya true. I was just looking for something to real-time monitor intrusions or attacks.
[04:11] <Pelo> ritalin,  not in ubuntu I dont think
[04:11] <nickrud> ritalin of course. sudo -i , and set a password. However, we don't support that usage
[04:11] <amunra> If Windows is installed on "Sda2" and Linux is on "Sda1" - do I put (hd0,1) in Grub for Windows?
[04:12] <Orbixx_> How does one get the cube to appear for Compiz now it's set up?
[04:12] <Pelo> amunra, yes
[04:12] <Orbixx_> It's enabled.
[04:12] <Pelo> Orbixx_, ask in #compiz
[04:12] <nickrud> ritalin try sudo -i for a bit, you'll see you're just fine
[04:12] <ggeecko> does root-tail work with gnome
[04:12] <amunra> Pelo: Thanks :)
[04:12] <swuboo> Orbixx_:  You have to set the settings in the cube rotation plugin.
[04:12]  * zero88 Yells "GO LACKERS!"
[04:12] <amunra> Now... let's give it a try :)
[04:12] <bazhang> zero88: in the next release you can get se linux and app armor if you are truly worried
[04:12]  * zero88 Yells "GO LAKERS!*"
[04:12] <tritium> zero88: please stop on topic
[04:12] <Pelo> amunra, there is mor to it then that , pastebin your menu.lst file so I can take a look
[04:13] <Zelta> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63376/
[04:13] <nickrud> ggeecko probably not, since it writes to the root X window, and gnome uses a window laid over the root to draw the desktop
[04:13] <slowlearner> hi can anyone help me upgrade to gutsy,. i'm having problem upgrading via the commandline. It just goes on but never upgrades
[04:13] <zero88> bazhang: why cant i get them now. Im not really worried but i would like to have that in case. You never know..
[04:13]  * Pelo wonders if tritium  is a celtic fan
[04:13] <ritalin> nickrud: ty
[04:13] <Pelo> slowlearner, what are you on right now ?
[04:13] <ritalin> sudo -i;passwd worked
[04:13] <tritium> Pelo: I'm not much of an NBA fan, in all honesty
[04:13] <nickrud> slowlearner have you tried sudo update-manager -c , it's a good method for a slow learner ;)
[04:14] <slowlearner> Pelo upgrading, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to
[04:14] <bazhang> Zelta:  automatix? why?
[04:14] <Pelo> slowlearner,  what version of ubuntu is on your computer rght now ?
[04:14] <slowlearner> nickrud i did sudo do-release-upgrade --devel-release
[04:14] <Zelta> bazhang: [22:10]	<Zelta>	Pelo: I had used Automatix2 (stupid, I know) to install multimedia codecs. Should I first uninstall automatix2 and everything I installed with it?
[04:14] <tripps>  /j #firefox
[04:14] <slowlearner> Pelo 7.04
[04:14] <ggeecko> nickrud: can you suggest something similar that will work with gnome
[04:14] <Zelta> (Sorry for highlighting, Pelo)
[04:14] <tripps> oops ;0
[04:14] <nickrud> slowlearner gutsy is not a devel release ;)
[04:15] <Pelo> slowlearner, recheck the info in te links I 'm gonna give you
[04:15] <Pelo> !upgrade | slowlearner
[04:15] <ubotu> slowlearner: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:15] <bazhang> Zelta: automatix is a system breaker; best to back up and reinstall
[04:15] <nickrud> ggeecko I think some people use conky for that
[04:15] <slowlearner> nickrud i did ommit the --devel-release but same thing happens
[04:15] <zero88> bazhang: it seems Kubuntu already comes with Apparmor. How do i run it sence apparmor in a terminal doesnt work
[04:15] <nickrud> slowlearner take a look at the page pelo gave you
[04:15] <Zelta> bazhang: How should I go about installing necessary codecs?  Is there a documentation page for it?
[04:16] <slowlearner> nickrud, Pelo that's what ive been following
[04:16] <bazhang> zelta ubuntu-restricted-extras for gnome, and perhaps two packages from medibuntu
[04:16] <nickrud> slowlearner you are on feisty, right?
[04:16] <slowlearner> nickrud yes
[04:16] <Zelta> okay, bazhang.
[04:16] <nickrud> slowlearner put the error you get on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:16] <mountainma1> bazhang: surprise surprise, i'm back
[04:16] <Zelta> I don't feel like starting over now, I'll do it later
[04:16] <bazhang> mountainma1: how did it go?
[04:17] <Pelo> afk
[04:17] <slowlearner> nickrud http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63377/
[04:17] <bazhang> Zelta: until you get rid of all the damage automatix has caused (reinstall) then you will get more breakage--just a word of warning
[04:18] <sb> quick noob question here, im downloading the iso onto my desktop now to ubunt-ize my old laptop. When i put the burned CD in the laptop will it have an option for deleting XP?
[04:18] <slowlearner> Pelo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63377/
[04:18] <Zelta> bazhang: I know.  I am going to reinstall before doing anything else.
[04:18] <friedtofu> sb - you can reformat
[04:18] <bazhang> sb yes just choose use entire hard drive
[04:18] <sb> thanks, wish me luck, ill probably be back in 20 minutes
[04:18] <Pelo> slowlearner,  nickrud  is the one that asked for the error
[04:19] <slowlearner> Pelo , nickrud think i know the answer, but i don't know how to solve it.. at one point it's asking for confirmation, but doesnt give a prompt
[04:19] <bazhang> mountainma1: I have to go away for a bit; the fine folks here can no doubt answer any questions you have
[04:19] <slowlearner> Pelo , there are no errors. It just aborts
[04:19] <mountainma1> bazhang: thanks again
[04:19] <mountainma1> help to partition anyone??
[04:20] <bazhang> no worries mountainma1 ;]
[04:20] <Pelo> slowlearner,  go in  menu > system > admn > software sources,  check all the boxes on the first and 3rd tab and uncheck all the boxes on the second tab,  and  , relaod and then try upgrading again
[04:20] <slowlearner> Pelo this is a server install
[04:21] <Pelo> slowlearner, /etc/apt/sources.lst , , pastebin it so we can have a look
[04:21] <nickrud> slowlearner phone brb
[04:22] <Jeriath> anyone know where this is coming from: "mount error 112 = Host is down". I havn't changed any settings. I know my syntax is correct as it was working an hour ago and for the past few months
[04:22] <godd4242> whatsup boys
[04:22] <Pelo> mountainma1,  sudo apt-get install gparted,  then open gparted and have fun, unless you are trying to repartiotn your currnt hdd, then you need to use the live cd
[04:22] <Jeriath> im trying to mount using cifs
[04:22] <godd4242> can anyone give me some help with a depenency error with libgpod 0.6.0
[04:22] <mountainma1> pelo: sorry, yes i'm using the live cd.  i have the following options: (all are guided except for an independent manual one): resice SCSI1- partion #2, use entire disk, use entire disk and set up LVM, use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM
[04:23] <Pelo> godd4242, look in synaptic search for gpod  also install the related -dev pacakge
[04:23] <godd4242> Pelo: thank you kind sir
[04:23] <Pelo> mountainma1,  this is a new install of ubuntu ?
[04:23] <slowlearner> Pelo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63378/
[04:24] <Pelo> slowlearner, hold on
[04:24] <godd4242> Pelo: the only ones i see up there are libgpod 0.5.2-2
[04:24] <godd4242> go ahead anyways?
[04:24] <mountainma1> pelo: no i've been running ubuntu, but something screwed up big when i tried upgrading to 7.10--so i've managed to figure out to use a mini.iso live cd
[04:24] <Pelo> godd4242, you'll need to get the 0.6 one I'm afraid , no idea where,  try gogle or the site where you got the source for the install you are doing
[04:25] <Pelo> mountainma1, what't the point of the partitonning you are trying to do then  ?
[04:25] <godd4242> Pelo: well the .deb runs into a dependency error with libc6 which is what i'm trying to resolve
[04:25] <godd4242> and compiling is actually broken, misaligned code lines near the end
[04:26] <Pelo> godd4242, sorry I can't help with that one
[04:26] <godd4242> Pelo: no worries thanks for trying
[04:26] <mountainma1> pelo: uh...i don't know, it came up with the live cd (i've never installed linux, a friend got me set up on it).  so i don't know which i need to choose
[04:26] <mountainma1> pelo: i guess the point is that whatever happened wasn't workign, so i'm starting over
[04:27] <hunteke> what's the trick to tell dovecot to notify clients of new mail immediately when it arrives?
[04:27] <Pelo> slowlearner, uncomment lines 40 and 41 ,save and try again
[04:27] <Pelo> mountainma1, the cd you have  is for installing ubuntu on a computer, are you trying to do that ?
[04:27] <mountainma1> pelo: yes, i'm trying to reinstall and start over
[04:27] <slowlearner> Pelo, ok
[04:28] <Pelo> mountainma1, then use manual partitionning and when asked point the isntaller to wherer your curent intall of ubuntu is so it installs over it
[04:28] <Pelo> slowlearner,  no promises
[04:28] <Markov> Hey'a. Does anyone know of any software synthesizer for Ubuntu? Something where I can start with a plain sine wave and apply a series of envelopes etc to get a new sound... ?
[04:29] <MrSteve> mark[oz] try audacity?
[04:29] <mountainma1> pelo: how do i determine where my current install of ubuntu is?
[04:29] <Pelo> Markov, check in add/remove in the applications menu
[04:29] <MrSteve> uhm
[04:29] <Pelo> mountainma1, it will be an ext3 partiton

[04:29] <JPSman> mountainmal: system -> About Ubuntu
[04:30] <Thakar> This may be a stupid question, but do you need a very powerful computer to run Ubuntu?
[04:30] <Pelo> JPSman, he's trying to install over his current install of ubuntu
[04:30] <Thakar> I was thinking about loading it on my laptop, but it's a bit old
[04:30] <MrSteve> just installed Audacity.. rather nifty..
[04:30] <Fa> not really
[04:30] <Pelo> Thakar, no,   128 m ram  will do
[04:30] <Zelta> No, Thakar, but if you have VERY old hardware, you probably want a lighter system.
[04:30] <ethan961> MrSteve, try ardour
[04:30] <JPSman> Thakar: what is your laptops specs?
[04:30] <matthew> Hello everyone
[04:30] <Pelo> Thakar, what machine do you have atm ?
[04:30] <Zelta> Ubuntu can even run on P2 systems (albeit cut down)
[04:30] <mountainma1> jpsman:thanks tho
[04:30] <MrSteve> will do that ethan961
[04:30] <evilbug> hey.
[04:30] <Pelo> hello matthew
[04:30] <JPSman> :OD
[04:31] <Thakar> Not really sure, actually..it's been at least a year since I even turned the machine on
[04:31]  * Pelo sprais evilbug
[04:31] <Thakar> But it's about a three year old laptop...maybe four.
[04:31] <matthew> I just switched to using ubuntu (and linux in general for that matter)
[04:31] <mountainma1> pelo: uh-oh, i get an error that says no root file system is defined....
[04:31] <Pelo> Thakar, should be strong enough
[04:31] <aday> hi
[04:31] <mountainma1> pelo: do i just continue, or is there something i can change?
[04:32] <slowlearner> Pelo still doesn't work
[04:32] <Pelo> mountainma1,  back step out of the installer back to the desktop
[04:32] <Pelo> slowlearner, hmmm,  would you consider a clean install ?
[04:32] <xiaowu> why
[04:32] <mountainma1> pelo. i don't have a desktop availiable.  that's why i'm trying to reinstall everything.  it's all buggered up
[04:32] <slowlearner> Pelo that would be last in the options
[04:33] <mountainma1> pelo: i can't log-in, i get the ubuntu startup screen and then a void of green-blue
[04:33] <Pelo> mountainma1,  I mean to the live cd desktop , unless you are unsing the atlternate cd
[04:33] <matthew> im liking the command line i have a feeling its gonna be my best friend :D
[04:33] <w30> Thakar, check out Xubuntu for a lighter weight desktop load
[04:33] <mountainma1> pelo: so abort?  or to the installer main menu
[04:33] <kelvin911> guys does ubuntu support p4q2?
[04:34] <Pelo> slowlearner, there is probably a way to get that working but it's over my head I'm afraid,  try asking again periodicaly , someone else might know,  start by stating you want to upgrade a server
[04:34] <Pelo> mountainma1,  about the installl and get back to the live cd desktop
[04:34] <slowlearner> Pelo ok, thanks anyway
[04:35] <Pelo> slowlearner, some small advice,  next time , don't wait 6 monhts to upgrade
[04:35] <dmsuperman> I have an ISO that's 6gb, but no dual layer disks. How can I split this ISO into 2 files and burn them to disks so they can be recombined later?
[04:35] <Pelo> dmsuperman, iso of what ?
[04:35] <kelvin911> does ubuntu support P4 quad 2 cpu?
[04:35] <dmsuperman> Pelo, any ISO
[04:35] <ethan961> kelvin911: yes
[04:35] <Pelo> kelvin911, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:35] <dubby> hey how do i check my motherboard model?
[04:35] <dubby> what command
[04:35] <matthew> kelvin, yes it does, im running dual p4 right now
[04:36] <Pelo> dmsuperman,  knowing the content of the iso might help me tell you what you can do with it , the sugestion I have will not work for a bootable media
[04:36] <mountainma1> pelo: ok, i've got ubuntu title and boot: "for default installation, press enter" "to install only the command-line base system...."
[04:36] <slowlearner> Pelo, it's kinda dangerous when you upgrade the first thing updates come up.. usually serious bugs come with them
[04:36] <nickrud> slowlearner comment out the cdrom line 5 , try again
[04:36] <kelvin911> what about windows XP?
[04:36] <kelvin911> does xp support quad 2?
[04:36] <matthew> yah
[04:36] <Pelo> kelvin911, ask in ##windows
[04:37] <Pelo> mountainma1, , please answer this queiston,   do you have the live cd or the alternate install cd ?
[04:37] <MrSteve> isoBuster?
[04:37] <dmsuperman> Pelo, alright, not bootable :D
[04:37] <Pelo> dmsuperman, you can extract an iso file with fileroller,   just like anyother archive,  you can then split the files between two dvd if youwant
[04:38] <dmsuperman> Pelo, actually, that won't work. Is there anyway to split the ISO file itself?
[04:38] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know how to run an iso image in vmware ?
[04:38] <dmsuperman> Mr_Bad_News, just in the cdrom choose mount image
[04:38] <Pelo> dmsuperman, not that I know of
[04:38] <mark[oz]> could someone suggest a video input card that will work under ubuntu?
[04:38] <Mr_Bad_News> i dont have any blank cd's to burn it dmsuperman
[04:38] <dmsuperman> Pelo, does ubuntu have a good 7zip program of any sort?
[04:38] <Pelo> dmsuperman, unless fileroller lets you make a split archive
[04:38] <kelvin911> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport where does ti say about cpu?
[04:39] <matthew> can anyone tell me how to get to my gcc compiler? i'm thinking command line but im not sure
[04:39] <Mr_Bad_News> its on my harddrive
[04:39] <dmsuperman> Mr_Bad_News, like i said, for cd rom choose mount
[04:39] <Pelo> dmsuperman, fileroller
[04:39] <Mr_Bad_News> ok
[04:39] <dmsuperman> Pelo, my thoughts exactly. is fileroller on it by default? and once i have those, how do i burn the data dvd?
[04:39] <slowlearner> nickrud ok, i'm changing sources right now and updating.. be back in a bit
[04:39] <Orbixx_> I would like to announce my new-found love for Ubuntu!
[04:39] <godd4242> OH SNAP
[04:39] <godd4242> I JUST FUCKING KICKED APPLES ASS
[04:39] <mountainma1> pelo: i have the minimal cd, i'm not sure which this is.  i had a TON of problems getting an iso of the ubuntu 7.10 that wasn't corrupt (tried different mirrors, torrents, etc).  so far this minimal one is all that has worked. downloaded from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[04:39] <Orbixx_> !language godd4242
[04:39] <godd4242> IS THIS A 6TH GEN IPOD PLAYING MY MUSIC
[04:39] <godd4242> I THINK SO
[04:39] <nickrud> dmsuperman apt-get install p7zip-full , and you can use file-roller as the front end
[04:40] <Cpudan80> !ohmy | godd4242
[04:40] <ubotu> godd4242: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[04:40] <Pelo> dmsuperman, fileroller is the archinve manager default in ubuntu ,  you can add zip , 7zip rar support from synaptic
[04:40] <nickrud> godd4242 coolit
[04:40] <mark[oz]> could someone suggest a video input card that will work under ubuntu?
[04:40] <godd4242> Orbixx_: you don't know how pumped i am
[04:40] <godd4242> i could like
[04:40] <godd4242> dude
[04:40] <godd4242> i could like do something crazy
[04:40] <FloodBot1> godd4242: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:40] <nickrud> godd4242 #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to crow ;)
[04:40] <Orbixx_> godd4242: You have an Apple product - therefore inherently, you fail. HARD.
[04:40] <Pelo> mountainma1, ok so basicaly it's command line only ?
[04:40] <godd4242> o zing
[04:40] <godd4242> Orbixx_: you get your machine with an OEM windows?
[04:40] <dmsuperman> and then to burn it?
[04:41] <Orbixx_> godd4242: Custom built.
[04:41] <mark[oz]> could someone suggest a tv tuner card that will work under ubuntu?
[04:41] <godd4242> Orbixx_: props kid, i built an xp back a while back but my brother poured milk in it to spite me. That was a good machine
[04:41] <godd4242> anyways i have to wake up
[04:41] <Pelo> mountainma1, , do you hve any other operatiing system on the computer ? windows other linux ?
[04:41] <godd4242> in 30 minutes, so i'll get going
[04:41] <matthew> can someone lend me a hand figuring out how to get a C++ compiler for ubuntu?
[04:42] <Orbixx_> matthew: sudo apt-get install gcc
[04:42] <nickrud> matthew sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:42] <Orbixx_> Or that.
[04:42] <matthew> oh man... i stink at making choices
[04:42] <mountainma1> pelo: unless i'm understanding it wrong...there is an option for command-line or default installation.  i originally chose default, which brought me to the partitioning question.  no windows, and the ubuntu 7.04 i was running is no longer working
[04:42] <MrSteve> gcc.. yeah, I got that now
[04:42] <nickrud> Orbixx_ build-essential gets make, and a few other things as well as gcc
[04:42] <slowlearner> matthew sudo-get install g++
[04:42] <lolo> quit
[04:42] <Orbixx_> build-essential should cover you for most things.
[04:42] <matthew> more choices lol
[04:42] <Orbixx_> I see.
[04:42] <slowlearner> matthew sudo apt-get install g++
[04:43] <matthew> hmm
[04:43] <Mr_Bad_News> dmsuperman, could you walk me through it , im retarded
[04:43] <matthew> heck ill get all 3
[04:43] <nickrud> matthew only one rational choice:  build-essential . Don't listen to the others ;)
[04:43] <Orbixx_> matthew: Your best bet lies with build-essential
[04:43] <Pelo> mountainma1, so basicaly we can use the whole hdd to install ubuntu on ?
[04:43] <MrSteve> me says.. cygwin, and got gcc and g++
[04:43] <Orbixx_> Just get the one, build-essential.
[04:43] <dmsuperman> Mr_Bad_News, I dunno, i just use virtualbox
[04:43] <mountainma1> pelo: yip
[04:43] <nickrud> MrSteve sure, if you wanna pollute gcc with windows :)
[04:43] <Pelo> mountainma1, ok the choose  the guided installation use the whole cd
[04:43] <MrSteve> :)
[04:44] <MrSteve> cygwin runs my windrop
[04:44] <matthew> orbixx/nickrud imma trust you guys on this one
[04:44] <Mr_Bad_News> well do i mount it from the windows vm or from the taskbar on vm dmsuperman ?
[04:44] <dmsuperman> taskbar on vm
[04:44] <Orbixx_> matthew: Wise decision.
[04:44] <mackid> so i have two physical disks in LVM, in one volume group and two logical volumes. I need to migrate data all to one physical disk because i need to remove one of them.. does anyone know the best way to do this? i'm doing it booted from the ubuntu livecd
[04:44] <matthew> this pans out well imma start writing progs for linux
[04:44] <Orbixx_> nickrud: Have you any experience with compiz? the guys in #compiz-fusion are afk, seemingly
[04:44] <MrSteve> I can Make.. in CodeBlocks
[04:45] <nickrud> matthew build-essential is what's called a meta-package. It depends on other packages, so when it's installed it will call in the other packages. You can see what it depends on with   apt-cache depends build-essential  (a useful tool for any package)
[04:45] <ZehRique> Hello, there! Does anyone know where is the package gtk#sourceview on Ubuntu Repositories?
[04:45] <Pelo> matthew, there is a #lvm where you mght consider asking
[04:45] <Mr_Bad_News> i dont see anything on mounting the cdrom dmacnutt
[04:45] <nickrud> Orbixx_ I've messed with it a bit
[04:45] <Mr_Bad_News> dmsuperman*
[04:45] <matthew> hmm
[04:46] <Pelo> ZehRique, why not jsut use the search feature in synaptic
[04:46] <Pelo> ?
[04:46] <nickrud> Pelo you mis-nicked
[04:46] <Pelo> nickrud, don'tthnk so
[04:46] <MrSteve> there is an entire website for gtk
[04:46] <Pelo> nickrud, you are correct
[04:46] <Xristofer> is there something additional i can do for the wireless card?
[04:46] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone use vmware?
[04:46] <Xristofer> it recognizes my card but not my network
[04:46] <Pelo> mackid, there is a #lvm channel
[04:46] <ZehRique> Pelo: I just tryed this but I cant found it on Hardy
[04:46] <Stroganoff> ZehRique: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:46] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, I do
[04:47] <Pelo> ZehRique, might not be in the hardy repos yes
[04:47] <Mr_Bad_News> i have an iso on my harddrive that i need to run in windows under vmware pitr256
[04:47] <Pelo> yet
[04:47] <Mr_Bad_News> do you know how
[04:47] <slowlearner> nickrud i'm updating, is "W: GPG error:" a  critical error?
[04:47] <ZehRique> Thanks, Stroganoff!
[04:47] <mackid> Pelo, i just joined it and asked but i don't think there's anyone not afk.. you just joined and then left lol
[04:47] <DVS01> if you mount a cifs filesystem.. and you want to use unix based permissions on it.. if you crate a unionfs or aufs and union it with the cifs mount, and specify that permissions are unchangable on the cifs mount, wouldnt that allow you to set unix style permissions in the unionfs, which will then write the differences into the other member of the union?
[04:47] <Pelo> mackid,  I joined to check that there was such a channel
[04:47] <ZehRique> Pelo: I will try to find it at the address provided by Stroganoff. Thanks!
[04:47] <mackid> ah i see Pelo
[04:48] <nickrud> slowlearner no, it means you are getting stuff from a repo that you don't have the signing key for, for security. Not a critical, as long as you know what repo you're actually getting packages from
[04:48] <slowlearner> nickrud, thanks
[04:48] <matthew> ok i have another question, anyone mind telling me how i get to build-essentials (im still used to windows gui based compilers)
[04:48] <Stroganoff> matthew: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:48] <dmsuperman> matthew, "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[04:48] <Xristofer> "attempting to find available wireless network failed"
[04:49] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, we should probably take this to a different channel
[04:49] <Xristofer> even when i put the name in it still doesnt find it
[04:49] <Xristofer> any ideas?
[04:49] <mountainma1> pelo: ok back to the partition options.  --manual-- or --guided--
[04:49] <Pelo> mountainma1, guided
[04:49] <matthew> ive already installed it im asking more how to run it
[04:49] <Mr_Bad_News> pitr256, can you not recieve pm's ?
[04:50] <Pelo> matthew, ./configure ,   make , make install
[04:50] <Pelo> mountainma1, guide,  use entire disk
[04:50] <Dacvak> Help me ;_;
[04:50] <slowlearner> matthew.. are you asking how to compile?
[04:50] <mountainma1> pelo: guided--resize SCSI1, use entire disk, use entire disk and set up LVM, or use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM????
[04:50] <nickrud> !ask | Dacvak
[04:50] <ubotu> Dacvak: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[04:50] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, are you registered?
[04:50] <Pelo> mountainma1,  use entire disk
[04:50] <matthew> im not used to command lines
[04:50] <matthew> so yes sort of
[04:50] <Mr_Bad_News> yes pitr256
[04:50] <nickrud> !compile | matthew heres some pointers
[04:50] <ubotu> matthew heres some pointers: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[04:50] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, are you using Player, Server, or Workstation?
[04:51] <Pelo> matthew, welcome to linux,    the compiler is command line only
[04:51] <Mr_Bad_News> server
[04:51] <slowlearner> for c++ do $g++ file.cpp
[04:51] <Mr_Bad_News> i said that in pm but i guess its not going through
[04:51] <Dacvak> I installed Ubuntu over a year ago, then I uninstalled it. Today I decided to add a hard drive to my computer (which is running Windows XP MCE). Now, all of the sudden, GRUB came back and has taken over my MBR and won't let me boot into ANYTHING.
[04:51] <matthew> thats ok i can adjust i just need the command to start the compiling process
[04:51] <matthew> im asuming !compile from what ive read
[04:51] <nickrud> Dacvak take out the hard drive you just put in
[04:51] <Pelo> Dacvak, ask in ##windows how to restore the windows mbr and bootloader
[04:52] <Stroganoff> Dacvak: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[04:52] <Dacvak> nickrud, I tried everything like that.
[04:52] <matthew> ah nevermind found it
[04:52] <Ubuntong> Is hdparm worth enabling in Gutsy?
[04:52] <akuma55> hello ppl does anybody here use samba
[04:52] <nickrud> Dacvak see above then. I have no clue where grub would have come from, without you installing something
[04:52]  * Pelo is done,  g'night folks
[04:52] <dmsuperman> Pelo, how can I open fileroller? "Archive Manager"? If so, how can I make a new archive? because when I choose new, it won't let me actually select the file I want to archive
[04:52] <teddy> i install some web php applications like webcalendar or any php web program..I expected to see it in /var/www/localhost..but they get installed in /usr/share  . do i have to manually make a symbolic link for every program i install?
[04:52] <nickrud> gnight Pelo
 use your XP cd and boot in to recovery mode. use the tools there to fix the MBR
[04:53] <ethan961> dmsuperman: yes, Archive Manager is file-roller
[04:53] <Pelo> dmsuperman, archive manager,   , I guess file >`new ,  then select the files , format and such
[04:53] <mountainma1> pelo: cool. thanks so much!
[04:53] <slowlearner> Dacvak search google for fixmbr
[04:53] <nickrud> teddy they should provide an entry in /etc/apache2/conf.d , so you can simply do  localhost/<whatever> , I use that for phpmyadmin
[04:53] <Lei> yo
[04:53] <Pelo> dmsuperman, ther is a new button in the tool bar , click that, select the file,  ...
[04:54] <Pelo> amyway, g'night all , specialy nickrud
[04:54] <dek> I just opened VirtualBox and I get this message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)." It worked before, anyone know how can I fix this (i get no answer in #vbox)?
[04:54] <slowlearner> finally am now able to upgrade
[04:54] <Lei> I'm new to IRC: where do I go for help with an ubuntu issue?
[04:54] <slowlearner> Lei just ask
[04:54] <nickrud> teddy to be clear, phpmyadmin doesn't provide any links or stuff in /var/www , but since it drops a config in that dir, localhost/phpmyadmin works
[04:54] <Zelta> Lei: Here! :D
[04:54] <nickrud> slowlearner was it the cdrom?
[04:54] <ethan961> dek: are the permissions set correctly on the snapshots folder?
[04:54] <Lei> I'm having trouble with getting any of the 'advanced desktop effects' to work
[04:55] <Zelta> Lei: What graphics card?
[04:55] <jords> can anyone recommend me a CLI download accelerator that allows you to use http basic authentication? Axel is great apart from that last point... can't find anything on how to to the authentication with it
[04:55] <Stupid^Kid> so , i want to learn latex , can somebody give me some advices
[04:55] <nickrud> Lei type   glxinfo | grep direct  in a terminal, what does it say?
[04:55] <Lei> nvidia
[04:55] <dek> ethan961: they can be read & written by my user
[04:55] <Zelta> nVidia what?
[04:55] <v3trae> Getting an error when trying to compile any program, bash log is posted at http://pastebin.com/d2bedd80
[04:55] <gaspipe1> hey
[04:55] <Lei> two years old -- lemme check. It shouldn't be the issue.
[04:55] <slowlearner> nickrud no, i think i keep on pressing the enter key and i missed the promp that asks for confirmation to upgrade
[04:55] <Lei> One sec.
[04:55] <Zelta> Lei: Do what nickrud said ;)
[04:55] <nickrud> slowlearner lol
[04:55] <Maquiasfarano> Hey: my BIOS has an "enable EFI" option. Could I have any advantages by enabling it, using Ubuntu? If not, would it be an advantage in the future?
[04:55] <ethan961> v3trae: do you have build-essential?
[04:55] <MrSteve> mudders.. more readin'
[04:55] <slowlearner> nickrud :D
[04:55] <gaspipe1> i want to thank everyone who helped me reinstall ubuntu

[04:55] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[04:56] <v3trae> ethan961: probably not, just a sec
[04:56] <gaspipe1> nickrud: TY
[04:56] <dmsuperman> Pelo, any clue why I get "zip warning: name not matched: rld-scfa.iso" when adding my iso to the zip?
[04:56] <nickrud> v3trae  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:56] <gaspipe1> mneptok: TY
[04:56] <Lei> geforce 6600
[04:56] <v3trae> ethan961: thank you
[04:56] <v3trae> nickrud: thank you =)
[04:56] <ethan961> np
[04:56] <nickrud> gaspipe1 yw, mneptok gets the lions share ;)
[04:57] <nickrud> and bazhang
[04:57] <gaspipe1> bazhang: TY
[04:57] <gaspipe1> TY all very much!!
[04:57] <dmsuperman> nvm, using 7zip...now i just have to figure out multipart files
[04:57] <ethan961> !yay | gaspipe1
[04:57] <ubotu> gaspipe1: Glad you made it! :-)
[04:57] <gaspipe1> and I want to thank the whole Ubuntu Community for their hard work
[04:57] <gaspipe1> and if it means anything this time around was such a piece of cake
[04:58] <ethan961> We love what we do
[04:58] <gaspipe1> 1st time was tough and white knuckle install
[04:58] <nickrud> gaspipe1 amazing what a little chipping away at the learning curve does ;)
[04:58] <sls> how can I make sudo want the root password instead of my password?
[04:59] <dmsuperman> sls, it's your password
[04:59] <Lei> @ nickrud: direct rendering: No (if you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG = verbose)
[04:59] <Lei> thanks
[04:59] <dmsuperman> sls, there's not really a root
[04:59] <nickrud> sls are you really sure you want to do that? there's no root password for a reason
[04:59] <nickrud> Lei system->admin->restricted manager, select the nvidia restricted driver and reboot
[05:00] <dmsuperman> does anybody know how to save archives in several pieces using Archive Manager? I need to make them based on filesize..
[05:00] <sls> nickrud, I am using an LDAP server for the user accounts. I need to assign some users the ability to sudo
[05:00] <Lei> thanks
[05:00] <gaspipe1> ahhh can I ask 1 more Q? lol
[05:00] <artenius> sls: won't sudoers work for that?
[05:00] <nickrud> sls visudo , add the parameter rootpw to it
[05:00] <Lei> cheers
[05:00] <sls> nickrud, so I did sudo -s and gave root a password. he still can not log on via ssh or gdm
[05:01] <gaspipe1> i saw on lifehacker.com a while back the top 10 ubuntu apps to get
[05:01] <nickrud> sls ah, that's a different issue. gdm as root? crazy? ssh as root? CRAZY!!
[05:01] <sls> nickrud, visudo... right..
[05:01] <Cpudan80> sshing as root is dangerous
[05:01] <gaspipe1> and Automatix was the top, but it's not supported after 7.10
[05:01] <Cpudan80> bad idea
[05:01] <sls> nickrus, no no... root is barred from those.
[05:01] <gaspipe1> should I still get it?
[05:02] <sls> nickrud, no no... root is barred from those.
[05:02] <sls> root can NOT ssh and GDM
[05:02] <american> What's the command to load up the configuration module for compiz-fusion?
[05:02] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1: medibuntu and restricted extras provide all the basic needs
[05:02] <artenius> american: ccsm
[05:02] <artenius> err
[05:02] <american> thanks
[05:02] <nickrud> sls ok, that's better. You had me worried. I've seen some use cases where having sudo use the root password makes sense (like a lab, where the admin comes by and uses a root password to allow package installs and the like)
[05:02] <sls> nicrud, all I want is for some LDAP user to be able to sudo.
[05:02] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: do i have medibuntu?
[05:02] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1 no
[05:03] <fabiano> Ola
[05:03] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:03] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: so i should install that
[05:03] <american> artenius:  sorry but I am a newbie.  how do i make it so that this configuration module always loads?
[05:03] <Orbixx_> How would I enable a second monitor?
[05:03] <fabiano> pt br?
[05:03] <mannex> I want to start messing around with cron jobs, where do people usually place their scripts?
[05:03] <nickrud> sls but I have no real experience with ldap authentication so I can't really advise on that
[05:03] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, : What kind of video hardware ?
[05:03] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: so u would recommend this rather then Auto
[05:03] <Ubuntong> Is hdparm speed up Gutsy?
[05:04] <Maquiasfarano> If someones knows... I have a question... my BIOS has an "enable EFI" option. Could I have any advantages by enabling it, using Ubuntu? If not, would it be an advantage in the future?
[05:04] <Orbixx_> ^Ocean^: nvidia 8800gtx
[05:04] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1: yes and i think most people would agree
[05:04] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, You can get a utility caled nvidia-settings  may already be installed,  makes it easy too set up a second monitor
[05:04] <s0wn> how much disk space is needed to install ubuntu?
[05:05] <Zelta> s0wn: 2GB is a standard install, I think
[05:05] <Zelta> Not too sure, really
[05:05] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, Alternatively you can read the nvidia docs , and manualy set up your xorg.conf file
[05:05] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: TY very much, I had a lot of problems in the past with video files and such, does this also help or make it easier for wine?
[05:05] <s0wn> nice
[05:05] <Zelta> Somewhere in that range, though ;)
[05:05] <s0wn> so 60gb would be enough l0l
[05:05] <gaspipe1> Stroganoff: i had 64 bit last time and never used wine b4
[05:05] <^Ocean^> Orbixx_, You also have too be useing the Nvidia video driver from the nvidia website :)
[05:05] <fish_away> i am back!
[05:05] <s0wn> your name disagrees
[05:05] <s0wn> damn
[05:05] <Stroganoff> gaspipe1 installing wine is easy, can't imagine any problems
[05:05] <s0wn> slow typing ftl
[05:05] <nickrud> s0wn you should break that up, say 12-15gb for  /  (root partition) , about 2xram up to 2 gb for swap, and the rest for /home
[05:05] <dek> I just opened VirtualBox and I get this message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)." It worked before, anyone know how can I fix this (i get no answer in #vbox)?
[05:05] <sls> nickrud, on the SLES and SLED boxes this works fine because Novell configured sudo in such a way that anyone can use the sudo command provided that they know the password of the root account.
[05:06] <dmsuperman> does anybody know how i can split my archive into multiple pieces?
[05:06] <fish> bazhang: you still here?
[05:06] <artenius> american: you'll pobably get more help in #compiz-fusion
[05:06] <nickrud> sls you might be able to get better help on #ubuntu-server
[05:06] <s0wn> nice
[05:06] <sls> nickrud, now that is not as secure as ubuntu has it.. but I can not seem to find a good solution
[05:06] <^Ocean^> dmsuperman: I think tar will do that...
[05:06] <american> thanks
[05:06] <sls> ok
[05:06] <Ubuntong> does hdparm speed up Gutsy?
[05:06] <s0wn> cherrs Zelta and nickrud
[05:06] <dmsuperman> ^Ocean^, but how
[05:06] <Zelta> bye
[05:06] <^Ocean^> dmsuperman, man tar :)
[05:07] <nickrud> Ubuntong according to my testing, no. My drives are already optimized by the kernel. your mileage may vary though
[05:08] <Ubuntong> nickrud: I think I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks
[05:08] <dubby> hey anyone the buttons on my wacom are not working correctly
[05:08] <fish> bazhang: I ran the boot parameters like you said and got this screen: http://www.witakr.com/linux/ubuntu/images/ub-nvidia1.JPG
[05:08] <Xristofer> is it normal for wireless configuration not to work during installation?
[05:09] <nickrud> Xristofer yes
[05:09] <Xristofer> okay
[05:09] <nickrud> Xristofer I always wire up my laptop for the install phase, and do wireless after
[05:09] <Xristofer> will it fix itself after or do i need to do something extra?
[05:10] <nickrud> Xristofer you will almost certainly have to do some work to get your wireless chip working
[05:10] <fr05tbyt3> hello
[05:10] <fish> I beleive bazhang is away now, can someone else help me?
[05:10] <nickrud> Xristofer not to flog a dead horse, but wireless is improved in linux, but it still _sucks_
[05:10] <fish> I have issues with booting with my nvidia geforce 6 series video card installed
[05:11] <DG19075> I guess in lots of cases a Windows driver and ndiswrapper is your best go
[05:11] <fr05tbyt3> would anybody happento know how i could find the default gateway number in ubuntu 7.10?
[05:11] <nickrud> fish that's something that you'll have to ask about a few times, every 5-10 minutes. It is not a common issue
[05:12] <nickrud> fr05tbyt3 route -n
[05:12] <fr05tbyt3> thank you sooooo much
[05:12] <fish> nickrud: i have been asking for help o this matter for the last 8 days
[05:13] <nickrud> fish yeah. Not suprised. Not dismissing your question, it's just way over my head
[05:13] <punz> do you get any specific errors on boot?
[05:13] <Orbixx_> Does anyone know the location of the default Ubuntu background image?
[05:13] <punz> those would help troubleshoot
[05:13] <punz> ;x
[05:13] <fish> http://www.witakr.com/linux/ubuntu/images/ub-nvidia1.JPG
[05:13] <fish> there
[05:13] <fish> i have several screens and logs for fedora too
[05:13]  * nickrud waits for punz ;)
[05:14] <fish> though i doubt those fedora things will help here
[05:14] <nickrud> fish a silly question: that card works in windows
[05:14] <fish> yep
[05:14] <punz> hmm yeah that's beyond me
[05:14] <mosibfu> fish, are you using the nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new ?
[05:14] <punz> ;x
[05:14] <fish> works wonders in windows xp
[05:14] <Orbixx_> Anyone?
[05:14] <fish> mosibfu: no clue...lol how do I check this?
[05:15] <arvind_> Orbixx_, whats the problem
[05:15] <mosibfu> fish, either of the 3 shuld be installed when you install the restricted driver so synaptic shuld know
[05:15] <nickrud> Orbixx_ /usr/share/backgrounds I would expect
[05:15] <Orbixx_> arvind_: The default location of where desktop backgrounds are ...
[05:15] <Orbixx_> Nevermind. Thanks nickrud.
[05:16] <mannex> Is there any difference between the following two:  ". ./script" and "./script" ?
[05:16] <nickrud> Orbixx_ thank the file hierarchy standard, not me ;)
[05:16] <fish> mosibfu:  which should I install for a BFG/nVidia GeForce 6200 OC?
[05:16] <mosibfu> fish, since its an old card i'd go for the nvidia-glx or maybe even the nvidia-glx-legacy, but i'd try the glx first
[05:17] <arvind_> mannex, yes
[05:17] <Xristofer> nickrud: can you point me toward a guide to get wireless working?
[05:17] <nickrud> mannex are those two dots in the first one supposed to be right next to one another?
[05:17] <nickrud> !wireless | Xristofer
[05:17] <ubotu> Xristofer: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:17] <mannex> nickrud, nope.
[05:17] <fish> mosibfu: OK once I install that then what should I do?
[05:17] <mannex> arvind_, how if you do not mind me asking?
[05:17] <mosibfu> fish, reboot, after installing it, it shuld replace the current driver and will use parameters for older cards like yours
[05:18] <fish> alrighty, i will try that and return with my results
[05:18] <arvind_> mannex, ./script would be interpretted as if it is a script from the present directory
[05:18] <mosibfu> reboot because it will also replace kernel module... where i think youre messing up atm
[05:18] <fish_away> ok
[05:18] <MAzeMiami> to get ssh to work on a new install is there any thing else i need to do affter or before $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:18] <nickrud> mannex odd. usually a dot is used to indicate the current directory, so   ./scripts  currentdirectory/scripts.  why the first dot doesn't do anything suprises me
[05:19] <arvind_> mannex, AFAIK . ./script whould be thought of as a hidden file
[05:19] <artenius> MAzeMiami: nope, it should be up and running after installing, you could always ps x to make sure
[05:19] <MAzeMiami> ps x ??  ?
[05:19] <nickrud> arvind_  strangely , if I do    . ./gt   (a script that calls gnometerm with some geometry) it runs normally
[05:20] <arvind_> nickrud, that must be a hidden script in your desktop :)
[05:20] <artenius> MAzeMiami: ps tells you what's running, man ps
[05:20] <DG19075> Wouldn't the dot-slash be thought of like the .exe in Windows?
[05:20] <nickrud> mannex that's a question that the people in #bash might find interesting
[05:20] <mannex> arvind_, hm... aren't hidden just prefixed with a .
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> just type ps
[05:20] <nickrud> arvind_ nah, it's in ~/bin and I cd'd into it :)
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> and what am i looking for to see if it's running
[05:20] <mannex> nickrud, thanks
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:20] <MAzeMiami> ^^^?
[05:20] <pitr256> the first . means source
[05:21] <arvind_> nickrud, yeah thats what its a hidden file present in that directory
[05:21] <slowlearner> MAzeMiami type "telnet localhost 22" without the "'s
[05:21] <artenius> MAzeMiami: look for "openssh-server"
[05:21] <pitr256> so if you . .bashrc, it will run .bashrc
[05:21] <artenius> MAzeMiami: or just try to connect to it
[05:21] <MAzeMiami> i can ping the box thats it
[05:21] <slowlearner> MAzeMiami and tell me what you see
[05:21] <nickrud> ah, source. I always type that out
[05:21] <Cpudan80> pitr256: ./
[05:21] <nickrud> pitr256 thanks I though I was going crazy
[05:22] <JOR_DE> hola
[05:22] <arvind_> pitr256, could you explain that
[05:22] <JOR_DE> HOLA
[05:22] <nickrud> JOR_DE hello
[05:22] <MrGnu> Hi everybody!
[05:23] <JOR_DE> HELLO
[05:23] <nickrud> !caps | JOR_DE
[05:23] <ubotu> JOR_DE: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:23] <slowlearner> JOR_DE ask
[05:23] <pitr256> arvind_, what do you mean?
[05:23] <JOR_DE> :(
[05:23] <arvind_> pitr256, i mean the source thing
[05:23] <MAzeMiami> slow.. you have aim ?
[05:23] <MAzeMiami> the issue is the DC in china dones not know how to install thisthink lol
[05:24] <pitr256> arvind_, you could put . ./bin/somescript.sh and it'll execute somescipt.sh
[05:24] <slowlearner> MAzeMiami what did you see when you type in "telnet localhost 22"
[05:24] <MAzeMiami> i never have before as well trying to walk them threw it
[05:24] <pitr256> arvind_, it's a bash thing
[05:24] <MAzeMiami> i'm waiting for there reply
[05:24] <zero88> Im looking to download Aireplay-ng, but cant seem to find it in the Repoes? Is it maybe under another alias????
[05:24] <nickrud> arvind_ when you run a script in a terminal, it runs as a child process, with it's own environment (very roughly). When you source a file, each line is read and executed in the same process, rather than a child one
[05:24] <Orbixx_> Do TV cards require additional software to become functional on Ubuntu?
[05:24] <pitr256> nickrud, excellent description
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> i installed vmware , i got rosetta stone working under windows , but there is no sound
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> does anyone know how to fix this?
[05:25] <mannex> nickrud, apparently the only difference between "./script" and ". ./script" is that the latter interprets ./script in the current shell, the former forks a process and does it there.
[05:25] <Knifa> have you installed the vmware tools?
[05:25] <mannex> arvind_, apparently the only difference between "./script" and ". ./script" is that the latter interprets ./script in the current shell, the former forks a process and does it there.
[05:25] <MAzeMiami> this is crazy
[05:25] <nickrud> mannex yes
[05:25] <MAzeMiami> a dc that never has installed unbuntu
[05:25] <arvind_> nickrud, hmm could understnad something
[05:25] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: have you installed the vmware tools?
[05:25] <mannex> nickrud, the forking of a process is what I was after
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> nay Knifa
[05:25] <Mr_Bad_News> how?
[05:26] <Knifa> i think it's like tools > install vmware tools
[05:26] <Knifa> iirc.
[05:27] <Jorda1> hay guys in Ubuntu server 7.10 what command would you use to show disk size
[05:27] <nickrud> Jorda1 df -h
[05:27] <pitr256> Jorda1, df -h
[05:27] <mark[oz]> df -h
[05:27] <pitr256> nickrud, you're quick ;-)
[05:27] <mark[oz]> df -h
[05:27] <Jorda1> df -h
[05:27] <FloodBot1> mark[oz]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:27] <Jorda1> ok
[05:27] <Jorda1> thank you
[05:27] <FloodBot1> Jorda1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:27] <mark[oz]> fuck you FloodBot1
[05:27] <mark[oz]> :)
[05:28] <mosibfu> fowned xd
[05:28] <nickrud> pitr256 I have some questions asked so often, they don't even pass through my brain ;)
[05:28] <Jorda1> lol
[05:28] <Jorda1> what does the df stand for disk what
[05:28] <Mr_Bad_News> Knifa, should i be concerned that there is no audio section in the host settings?
[05:28] <Knifa> yes
[05:28] <fr05tbyt5> is there anyway to undo an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10\
[05:29] <Knifa> I'm assuming sound works on your own system properly, yeah?
[05:29] <arvind_> fr05tbyt3, yeas
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> besides a reinstall
[05:29] <pitr256> nickrud, I bet. I've only been camping here tonight and have seen the same question like 3 times already. :-)
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> how how who:D
[05:29] <arvind_> fr05tbyt3, update-manager -d
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> what ehen
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> ok
[05:29] <fr05tbyt5> ill try it thatnk you very much
[05:29] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: I'm assuming sound works on your own system properly, yeah?
[05:29] <Mr_Bad_News> yes
[05:30] <Mr_Bad_News> and  i dont think i set up networking in vmware either
[05:30] <adub> on processor fans for laptops do they only run when the processor starts getting hotter?
[05:30] <Knifa> hrm
[05:30] <Mr_Bad_News> will i have to reinstall?
[05:30] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: I am unsure, maybe the audio device just got removed? Try adding it again. I think you can do that ~_~
[05:30] <adub> like i can occassionally hear my fan kick on and the sound is loud
[05:30] <Knifa> maybe
[05:30] <Mr_Bad_News> how?
[05:30] <adub> i can hear the fan blowing
[05:30] <Knifa> eeh hold on
[05:30] <arvind_> adub, thats normal i guess
[05:31] <adub> arvind ok
[05:31] <mosibfu> adub, it depends in the laptop (if its bios handled or something) or on the hardware + the amount of driver support
[05:31] <Stroganoff> adub: this could be a cron job
[05:31] <Stroganoff> adub: just check your cpu-meter (panel) and your task manager
[05:31] <adub> oh i am just trying to troubleshoot a laptop
[05:31] <mikere> If I install with ubuntu desktop, how hard is it to install server stuff (LAMP mostly)?
[05:31] <adub> i know the one i am on i tihnk it does the same thing
[05:32] <nickrud> mikere extremely simple, for example sudo tasksel install lamp will install your lamp stack
[05:32] <mosibfu> mikere, there are some very good how-to's for ubuntu, with those you shuld be up and running in about 5/10 minutes
[05:32] <adub> what about the system fan on laptops taht pushes air out the back is that constantly running or only sometimes
[05:32] <Knifa> Mr_Bad_News: Does it show a Sound Adapter when you go to edit the virtual machine at all?
[05:32] <Mr_Bad_News> no Knifa
[05:33] <Knifa> If you click on add, can you add one? D:
[05:33] <pitr256> adub, matters on the laptop
[05:33] <Frederick> folks does ubuntu features a visual manager to mysql?
[05:33] <nickrud> mikere the server and desktop installs are pretty much the same, just different package selections. You can install any package on either.
[05:33] <pitr256> Frederick, yes
[05:33] <slowlearner> Frederick mysql query browser?
[05:34] <pitr256> Frederick, it's in the add/remove programs
[05:34] <bOxOFlUnch> can someone please try to help me with a problem producing excessive amounts of active connections
[05:34] <mikere> mosibfu, nickrud, thanks - I seem to recall last time I did this there was a little trick to doing it.   We go by Ye Olde Grandma's rules of which words are appropraite.
[05:38] <Frederick> kmysqlamin  crashed :/
[05:38] <pitr256> Mr_Bad_News, you can open the old VM by browsing to the machine image file
[05:38] <mikere> mosibfu: wow, tasksel is very cool!  Thanks for that tip.
[05:38] <nickrud> Frederick look for mysql-admin , it'll add that and mysql-browser to your menu
[05:38] <DreadKnight> .join #kubuntu
[05:38] <DreadKnight> mrr
[05:38] <Mr_Bad_News> ok pitr256
[05:38] <DreadKnight> sry
[05:38] <pikeshouse88> is the daily live cd better for installing than the regular live?
[05:38] <FloodBot1> DreadKnight: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:39] <dek> I just opened VirtualBox and I get this message: "The snapshot folder of a machine with snapshots cannot be changed (please discard all snapshots first)." It worked before, how can I fix this?
[05:39] <Mr_Bad_News> pitr256, there is no sound device on my windows vm
[05:40] <Mr_Bad_News> how do i get one?
[05:40] <MAzeMiami> when you install ubuntu are to already loged in as root ? or do you need to switch
[05:41] <MrPiracy> a simple question .... i have a txt file i want to share between windows and ubuntu. I created a link to it on my desktop, but when i click it, it says there's no application to open it
[05:41] <nickrud> !root | MAzeMiami
[05:41] <ubotu> MAzeMiami: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:41] <RyanPrior> MrPiracy: can you right-click it and select "open with text editor"?
[05:41] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: how do i do that to the LINK on my desktop?
[05:42] <RyanPrior> MrPiracy: the link should be manipulatable in much the same way as the actual file.
[05:42] <kraypius> the question is... after doing an install are you automatically in root or do you need to sudo -i ?
[05:42] <kreative> so im trying to make the complete switch over to ubuntu, but im just curious to see if their are any oracle clients like sql plus or toad for ubuntu.
[05:42] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: welll, it doesnt open with the text editor
[05:42] <nickrud> kraypius sudo -i
[05:43] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: if i choose OPEN WITH ANOTHER APPLICATION, i choose Text Editor from it and it says it cannot be added to the list
[05:43] <MrPiracy> RyanPrior: tried to manually put gedit, no good
[05:43] <mackid> if anyone knows much about LVM, please msg me, my LVM is broken and #lvm is ignoring me
[05:44] <slowlearner> MrPiracy is the link accessible?
[05:44]  * nickrud thinks lvm stands for lose valuable material
[05:44] <Lainy> Hello, my mpd display on conky is unable to display a Japanese song title (it shows boxes). I have inserted 'override_utf8_locale yes' and 'xftfont Terminus:size=8', the same font I use in my console (which is able to view the Japanese song title perfectly). What do I need to do to view the song title correctly? Thanks for any help.
[05:44] <MrPiracy> yes
[05:45] <MrPiracy> slowlearner, RyanPrior: wait ... i made the link where the TXT file is ... maybe it's because it cannot find the file after i moved it to the desktop ... let me check
[05:45] <MrPiracy> slowlearner, RyanPrior: nope, the target shows the full path
[05:46] <arvind_khadri> the app help and support is craching
[05:46] <arvind_khadri> *crashing
[05:46] <slowlearner> MrPiracy and you can open the target file without any problem?
[05:46] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: let me check
[05:47] <arvind_khadri> the app help and support is crashing
[05:47] <nickrud> arvind_khadri try typing    yelp   in the terminal
[05:47] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: yes, i just double click it and choose DISPLAY
[05:48] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, the same happens ...i did dmesg|tail ,it shows a segmentation fault
[05:48] <slowlearner> MrPiracy hmm. really strange
[05:48] <nickrud> arvind_khadri hm, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall yelp
[05:48] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: it's such a simple task ...
[05:49] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, installing,what had happened??
[05:50] <nickrud> arvind_khadri no clue. That's my usual first step at fixing issues, works maybe half the time
[05:50] <slowlearner> MrPiracy can you open the link via command-line... like vim or something
[05:50] <arvind_khadri> nickrud, :)
[05:50] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: i found out what the problem was .... i renamed the link and removed the extension (.txt)
[05:50] <MrPiracy> slowlearner: for some weird reason a link won't open without it
[05:51] <phish> Hi i was trying to update my nvidia drivers and i did some dpkg x-reconfigure (can't remember the exact command) anyways my desktop is locked at <800 x 600. i noticed it saved a backup of my old settings. How can i get those back?
[05:52] <Kirce> hello any one here?
[05:52] <nickrud> phish   cd /etc/X11 ; sudo cp xorg.conf.<backupstuff> xorg.conf
[05:53] <Kirce> dose anyone know how i can make my usb flash drive bootable so i can install my ubuntu using my 1g flash drive?
[05:53] <Stroganoff> Kirce: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-ca8e337bdfab6bfa1d064371898775fe1e9e22fd
[05:54] <rewati> hi there i need to change the char font on the console (alt + ctrl + f1) screen and the color , how ca i do dat
[05:54] <nickrud> rewati sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[05:55] <nickrud> rewati that'll do the size, not sure about color
[05:55] <theDtTvB2> I left the login screen for about half and hour and now it goes to random color. The "sleep mode" LEF blinks also. What should I do?
[05:55] <rewati> nickrud ok thanx i will try that
[05:55] <arvind_> nickrud, am compiling gcc 4.3.0 can it be the cause
[05:56] <theDtTvB2> The screen goes to black, white, red, green, blue, white, gray, darker gray, and then black again. Anything wrong?
[05:56] <nickrud> arvind_ I don't think the already compiled libraries/executables would be affected, but it's been so long since I did anything more than a quick ./configure cycle I could easily be sadly mistaken
[05:57] <arvind_> nickrud, hmm
[05:57] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[05:57] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 does touching the power button do anything? I vaguely remember something like that happening to me. It was a one time occurance, never happened again. I forced a shutdown with the power button
[05:58] <arvind_> nickrud, would check whether it still crashes after the compilation
[05:58] <Adantan_Alex> hey
[05:58] <Kirce> Stroganoff, im on windows at the moment i cant do anything with an .sh
[05:58] <rewati> nickrud ok i did that but there is not change
[05:58] <theDtTvB2> The power button does not do anything. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+B does not work either. This happens to my laptop.
[05:58] <rewati> nickrud do i need to restart to see the change
[05:59] <nickrud> rewati I do think so. Been a while since I used that
[05:59] <Adantan_Alex> check what he said again ^^
[05:59] <Stroganoff> Kirce: http://www.syslinux.org/
[05:59] <rewati> ok
[05:59] <rewati> i will do that
[05:59] <Stroganoff> Kirce: this is included in the README https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[05:59] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 so is mine. I forced a shutdown
[06:00] <theDtTvB2> @nickrud... Ok, I am going to pull out the battery.
[06:00] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 I think it was around the time one of my memory sticks was failing
[06:01] <theDtTvB2> @nickrud Oh yeah, I forgot to plug my notebook in. It ran out of battery. Was it possible?
[06:01] <MrPiracy> I am trying to install cabletv-1.3.9 and i keep getting this error when i type make: main.c:31:29: error: X11/Xaw/XawInit.h: No such file or directory
[06:01] <MrPiracy> how can i fix this?
[06:02] <gaspipe1> night all, and thanks again!
[06:02] <nickrud> theDtTvB2 like I said, I remember having something like that happen once, but it's a very vague memory. I know I didn't pull the battery, have never had to be that drastic ;)
[06:02] <AnotherNoob> Hi, hoping i can get advice on which ubuntu package to use to get best performance. I have 3x P2 400mhz 480m ram + 1x P4 2.6 1G ram. I have trialled Edubuntu + thin clients. Am now looking at Xubuntu, possibly also with thin clients or should i stick with fat clients?
[06:03] <NullName> AnotherNoob: xubuntu is a great edition of ubuntu
[06:03] <nickrud> MrPiracy install xorg-dev , it's a very large number of packages with various *.h files for compiling against the X libs
[06:03] <NullName> It is very fast...but also runs well on high-end systems
[06:03] <MrPiracy> nickrud: will it affect anything else on my system?
[06:03] <pitr256>  AnotherNoob, it depends on what you would be running on the clients
[06:04] <nickrud> MrPiracy no, it's only used for compilation
[06:04] <Stroganoff> AnotherNoob: the best performance you gen gat (on 400 Mhz) is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631
[06:04] <Stroganoff> (get)
[06:05] <Xristofer> dammit
[06:05] <MrPiracy> nickrud: thank you, doing it now ;)
[06:05] <Xristofer> so i finally get it to install using the text installation
[06:05] <Xristofer> and it loads up to a blank screan
[06:05] <Xristofer> :( just my luck
[06:05] <AnotherNoob> NullName :Looks like another install could be on the way.... after a few weeks its getting easier
[06:05] <Prez00> hello
[06:05] <Xristofer> any ideas?
[06:05] <Xristofer> installation went smooth
[06:05] <Xristofer> not sure what the problem is
[06:06] <Adantan_Alex> !enter | xristofer
[06:06] <ubotu> xristofer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:06] <AnotherNoob> pitr256 : mainly kids stuff on the clients but it would be nice for the to be able to watch some divx movies...
[06:06] <_Net> Hi, I have a pretty rookie question here. I'm trying to install ubuntu but in the partition section of the setup (step 5 i think) I chose to resize my XP partition but I can only drag it to as low as 112GB, i want it to use only 50gb for linux and I can go Max of 250gb.
[06:06] <Prez00> i just installed kernel <IP_ADDRESS> on Gutsy and I see a dump in dmesg about using irqpoll, can someone tell me what irqpol does?  everything seems to be working, but that dump doesn't look good in dmesg
[06:06] <AnotherNoob> stroganoff : cheers, i'll definatley look into it
[06:06] <_Net> I thought I'd ask before doing the manual thing because I did the manual thing last time I installed it and well lost my entire xp partition
[06:07] <Adantan_Alex> _net: private chat
[06:07] <Stroganoff> AnotherNoob: may i query?
[06:07] <Xristofer> I just install the newest version of Ubuntu on my AMD Turion64 x2 with 1gb of ram and when I try to load it up it goes to a blank screen.
[06:08] <MrPiracy> nickrud: other error messages ... do u know this program?
[06:08] <nickrud> MrPiracy no, I don't But I'm sure it's a matter of getting the right -dev files.
[06:09] <nickrud> MrPiracy if they're in the repos, of course
[06:09] <MrPiracy> nickrud: they're not
[06:09] <powertool08> has anyone ever used the pork im client?
[06:09] <MrPiracy> nickrud: do you know another program to use my TV card?
[06:09] <NullName> nope
[06:09] <nickrud> MrPiracy what's the next error?
[06:10] <NullName> I recommend Pidgin for any IM'ing
[06:10] <Stroganoff> Xristofer a blank screen after the 30-60s boot process?
[06:10] <arvind_> _Net you should do the manual partition only if you dont want to loose XP
[06:10] <tushyd> anyone know why when I fullscreen flash videos the framerate drops like no other?
[06:10] <MrPiracy> nickrud: channel.h:40: error: array type has incomplete element type
[06:10] <nickrud> MrPiracy never owned a tv card, I'm a firm believer in the idea of one job, one tool TV is a TV
[06:10] <powertool08> NullName: i'm looking for a cli program
[06:10] <nickrud> MrPiracy yup, that's not a file problem :)
[06:10] <_Net> Arvind_ I know, and I did some reasearch I dont come here empty handed. I've used manual lots before with a lot of different operating systems but Im scared of it.
[06:11] <_Net> To be honest I've lost way too much data using the manual and havent been able to retrieve it
[06:11] <oddalot> anyone know a good program that can make burn video to dvd that I can add different menus and chapter points etc...for free
[06:11] <MrPiracy> nickrud: i reckon it's something in the program itself ... maybe i am missing some directives during ./configure
[06:11] <_Net> so Im making sure I'm doing it right this time
[06:11] <arvind_> _Net hmm i've always done it right
[06:11] <nickrud> MrPiracy you could be.
[06:11] <NullName> powertool08: there are some awesome command line IM programs....but all I've used only work with one protocal..such as only IRC or only AIm
[06:11] <_Net> Me too, but one click on that Edit partition and boom
[06:11] <arvind_> _Net so where do you want to install it...i mean which drive
[06:11] <Adantan_Alex> dont worry im helping him when he is ready
[06:12]  * nickrud installed hardy on top of gutsy by accident just last month. Never say never arvind_ ;)
[06:12] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: when i first try to boot it.   install went just fine but when i boot regularly, i get the UBUNTU logo with the loading bar beneath and then it just goes blank.
[06:12] <Stroganoff> Xristofer what graphics card do you use?
[06:12] <powertool08> NullName: would you happen to know the names of any of these awesome command line im programs?
[06:12] <Xristofer> nvidia 8800
[06:12] <Xristofer> mobile
[06:12] <MrPiracy> nickrud: this program is not designed specificly for ubuntu, would u have a look at the install instructions for me? maybe you could tell me what directives i could use ... i am using gutsy x64
[06:12] <arvind_> Adantan_Alex, was that for me
[06:13] <Stroganoff> Xristofer: press Esc while grub is loading, go into recovery mode and change your video driver to vesa with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:13] <nickrud> MrPiracy I'm really rusty with compiling stuff these days. My programming days are long ago, and I read code poorly, slowly and usually badly now
[06:14] <tushyd> anyone know how to fix slow fullscreen flash framerates?
[06:14] <oddalot> hey, you guys know a good program for linux that can burn video dvds with menus etc..
[06:14] <MrPiracy> nickrud: hehe, i know how it feels, i am a programmer myself (for windows, though) ... but i was talking about the install instructions, not the code itself
[06:14] <nickrud> MrPiracy sure, I'll take a quick glance
[06:14] <phreck> Anyone know how to get a quickcam fusion working?
[06:15] <MrPiracy> nickrud: cool, where's that pastebin thing?
[06:15] <nickrud> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:16]  * phreck slaps his webcam
[06:16] <nickrud> oddalot devede works, mostly ;)
[06:17] <oddalot> THANKS!!
[06:17] <Xristofer> Stroganoff i'm going to sound like a newb because i am. this is my first time running linux. i'm not really sure what grub is but if i restart it gives me an option to boot in recovery mode. when i do this it stops at "loading hardware drivers."
[06:17] <Stroganoff> ok Xristofer this is not good
[06:17] <rhineheart_m> hello.. anybody here has an experience installing/making ubuntu box as a router to join two separate networks?
[06:18] <Xristofer> uh oh
[06:18] <Stroganoff> Xristofer is the Numlock LED responding?
[06:18] <MrPiracy> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63382/
[06:18] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: no
[06:19] <nickrud>  MrPiracy those are boiler plate instructions, there should be a README or something that's specific to the package
[06:19] <nickrud> Xristofer is this hardy?
[06:19] <MrPiracy> nickrud: hold on, lemme check
[06:20] <Xristofer> ubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64
[06:20] <AimLXJ> Can someone help me?
[06:20] <maxternet> Hi all Ubuntu Users
[06:20] <Stroganoff> Xristofer try 32bit :/
[06:20] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, only if you tell your prob
[06:20] <nickrud> Xristofer then what I was thinking doesn't apply
[06:21] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: I installed Xubuntu onto my system and it detects the integrated ethernet port and the ethernet card but I still cannot connect online.
[06:21] <Xristofer> my processor is amd turion64X2
[06:21] <maxternet> I would like to chat with someone that's actually using giFT with a well configured firewall, anyone?
[06:21] <Stroganoff> Xristofer you can install 32bit operating system on amd64
[06:22] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, ifconfig -a then sudo dhclinet eth0
[06:22] <Stroganoff> 64bit is only faster in kind of rare cases
[06:22] <Jorda1> hay guys i just added files to my ubuntu server ftp using vsftpd in Apache's web dir and when i use my browser to get to them and i get a forbidden you don't have permission. the dir is set to 777 is there somting I need to set in apache ???
[06:22] <arvind_khadri> Stroganoff, you would need ram of 4gb or higher to be faster in 64 bit
[06:23] <MrPiracy> nickrud: readme doesnt have much info about how to install it
[06:23] <Xristofer> Stroganoff: is this the x86 version?
[06:23] <MrPiracy> nickrud: but it says ... You MUST have compiled kernel support for bttv cards or get the newest
[06:23] <MrPiracy> bttv drivers from here: http://www.strusel007.de/linux/bttv/
[06:23] <Stroganoff> yes Xristofer
[06:23] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, its sudo dhclient eth0
[06:23] <cast> arvind_khadri: BS
[06:23] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: Okay
[06:23] <arvind_khadri> cast, what does the mean ,be slow??
[06:23] <v> is there any way to restore stuff from tmp if my computer crashes?
[06:23] <nickrud> MrPiracy find /lib/modules -iname bttv , you should see some files, ending in .ko . That's the kernel support
[06:24] <Stroganoff> 64bit (binary.. nvidia) drivers sometimes cause problems. 64bit flash also.
[06:24] <Xristofer> okay i'm going to give this a shot, thank you Stroganoff
[06:24] <cast> arvind_khadri: the statement of requiring more than 4GB of to be faster is just plain wrong
[06:24] <arvind_khadri> cast well its for 64 bit systems not for 32 ones....
[06:24] <v> if there is no way to restore stuff from temp, is there a way to make sure it does not delete anything?
[06:25] <MrPiracy> nothing ;)
[06:25] <MrPiracy> nickrud: nothing ;)
[06:26] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: "No DHCPOFFERS recieved"
[06:26] <arvind_khadri> cast i meant that for a better performance in 64 bit ones a minimum of 4gb is needed
[06:26] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, well does the ifconfig -a show eth0??
[06:26] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: "No worknig leases in persistant database - sleeping."
[06:26] <nicodarious> hello
[06:26] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: Yes
[06:26] <slowlearner> AimLXJ you're probably not connected to a network
[06:27] <AimLXJ> slowlearner: I am though
[06:27] <arvind_khadri> AimLXJ, try bringing the network down and up
[06:27] <slowlearner> AimLXJ are they using static ip addressing?
[06:27] <AimLXJ> slowlearner: Dynamic
[06:27] <AimLXJ> arvind_khadri: Okay, I'll give it a try
[06:28] <nickrud> MrPiracy not sure what to say; ask some more about recommended tv programs and mention your card ;)
[06:28] <MrPiracy> nickrud: ok
[06:28] <nickrud> MrPiracy I'm off, I was up at 4 this morning. See you later
[06:28] <Adantan_Alex> i am.... not
[06:28] <Adantan_Alex> bye man ^^
[06:29] <MrPiracy> nickrud: cya, and thankx ;)

[06:30] <spaceracoonlady> slightly offtopic: anyone in here knows what this is? http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=l84a3bf92be6919b52a021dlf5.jpg
[06:30] <spaceracoonlady> O i forgot you are all noobs
[06:30] <swuboo> spaceracoonlady:  Probably a bad thing to inhale, but beyond that I couldn't say.
[06:30] <Adantan_Alex> im a noob? awwww lol j/k
[06:30] <spaceracoonlady> swuboo: thx
[06:30] <zero88> if i had a file i wanted to run like ./file, and it was in /home/user/fldr/fldr/FILE. How could i run that script without being inside the directory???
[06:30] <arvind_khadri> spaceracoonlady, you should try #chemistry
[06:31] <slowlearner> zero88 type the full path
[06:31] <spaceracoonlady> arvind_khadri: they do not know ^^
[06:31] <swuboo> zero88:  Specify the full path.
[06:31] <Adantan_Alex> lol
[06:31] <zero88> as in ./full/path/to/file or just    /full/path/to/file
[06:31] <t00na> zero88: you can take shortcuts
[06:31] <slowlearner> zero88 remove .
[06:31] <zero88> ahhh
[06:31] <zero88> ok cool thanks
[06:31] <t00na> like ~/fldr/fldr/FILE
[06:31] <arvind_khadri> spaceracoonlady, hehehe wierd ....what do you want about it,the name or something??
[06:32] <spaceracoonlady> arvind_khadri: the name
[06:32] <spaceracoonlady> yes
[06:32] <kway> I'm tryingto install 8.04 from dvd, but when i choose 'install ubuntu' all that happens is a popup saying 'Boot Loader /casper/vmlinuz'
[06:32] <zero88> t00na: ya but how many folders can u skip
[06:32] <phreck> Anyone know how to get a quickcam fusion working?
[06:32] <t00na> um...what?
[06:32] <arvind_khadri> spaceracoonlady, you should try nomenclature from the google
[06:32] <phreck> webcm
[06:33] <slowlearner> ~ is alias form the users home dir
[06:33] <t00na> phreck: that what? was directed at zero88

[06:33] <spaceracoonlady> arvind_khadri: thx will try
[06:33] <swuboo> zero88:  The tilde represents your home directory, if that helps you.  If you wanted, you could create a ~/bin directory, which the default bash profile adds to your PATH.  Then in that, you could create a symbolic link to the program you want to run.
[06:34] <swuboo> zero88:  It means more work up front, but from then on you'll be able to just type the name of the command in the terminal without having to put in the whole path.

[07:00] <bidget> hey quick question I have this usb drive here and the last time I took it out it was telling me that I took it out in an unsafe manner or something what do I have to do so that error message doesnt pop up?
[07:01] <JPSman> bidget: unmount the thing
[07:01] <bidget> just right click and say unmount volume?
[07:01] <jhlxd> lxdsd
[07:01] <JPSman> bidget: yes
[07:01] <bidget> cool thanks
[07:01] <JPSman> bidget: no prob
[07:01] <bidget> that wont stop it from being detected automatically when I plug it in will it?
[07:02] <JPSman> bidget: nope.   It'll detect it next time you plug it in
[07:02] <bidget> alright
[07:02] <bidget> thanks man
[07:02] <JPSman> no prob
[07:02] <fish> hello folks
[07:02] <JPSman> wow, i'm helping :OD
[07:02] <bidget> oh one other quick question, whats that command to replace compiz with metacity?
[07:02] <JPSman> Hey Fish
[07:02] <bidget> its something --replace I remember
[07:02] <fish> heya JPSman
[07:03] <fish> mosibfu: are you still here?
[07:03] <bidget> is it metacity --replace?
[07:03] <bidget> or something similar?
[07:03] <fish> JPSman, did you get you issue resolved?
[07:03] <fish> your*
[07:03] <JPSman> Fish: no
[07:04] <JPSman> The program just won't respond when I use a launcher
[07:04] <fish> JPSman, Man, I am sorry about that. I guess it was a tougher question than I first thought
[07:04] <fish> JPSman, but did you get the launcher created?
[07:04] <mosibfu> fish, i am
[07:04] <JPSman> fish: I have to run a text file for it to point to the .bin   This is what the text file says    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ./phun.bin $@
[07:05] <jhlxd> ????????
[07:05] <JPSman> Bidget: I have no idea what the comand is, but i'm curious as to what you're trying to do
[07:05] <Adantan_Alex> ok
[07:06] <Adantan_Alex> o0
[07:06] <fish> mosibfu, awesome, I did as you suggested with the gtx and it produced the same result as shown here: http://www.witakr.com/linux/ubuntu/images/ub-nvidia1.JPG
[07:06] <jhlxd> abc
[07:06] <bidget> JPSman, I've been having problems with a really low framerate in half life 2 and someone on the winehq forums said that it oculd be because of beryl/compiz
[07:06] <bidget> JPSman, so I'm trying to find out how to disable compiz so I can try it out
[07:06] <JPSman> bidget: beryl/compiz?
[07:07] <Sakthi_V> Can anyone give me a list of keyboard shortcuts that I can use to open different applications in Ubuntu?
[07:07] <bidget> JPSman, yes
[07:07] <kelvin911> maybe metacity --replace & disown
[07:08] <fish> mosibfu, any other suggestions or ideas?
[07:08] <bidget> ah ok
[07:08] <mosibfu> fish, did the legacy one do thesame?
[07:09] <aurehman> hi dear... I want to install kxdocker in ubuntu.. how can i do so?
[07:09] <mosibfu> fish, if so, gone with the easy solutions..
[07:10] <fish> mosibfu, i did not try the legacy because I thought it was used for Riva and TNT cards... As soon as you asked I remember you saying I should try it, Let me try the legacy.... :-/
[07:10] <mosibfu> they are older makes of drivers, less demanding
[07:11] <fish> mosibfu, in fedora 8 i had to edit a xorg.conf file to identify the driver to be used, do i need to do this?
[07:11] <fish> mosibfu, i had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:11] <fish> in fedora 8
[07:12] <osfameron> Hi. Audacity is failing to open sound device for playback.  I've done lsof | grep /dev/snd, killed totem (but left the mixer_app open).  Both recording and playback sound devices are ALSA.  What should I do?
[07:12] <mosibfu> fish, the setup shuld do it automatically, you can check tho if it states nvidia
[07:13] <witakr_is_fish> ok
[07:14] <witakr_is_fish> ok
[07:15] <gizim> hey hey everybody hows the party?
[07:15] <witakr_is_fish> mosibfu, after installing the gtx driver this is what my xorg reads: Driver		"intel"
[07:15] <witakr_is_fish> mosibfu, intel is my integrade graphics
[07:15] <witakr_is_fish> should i change it to nvidia, nv, or nouveau
[07:16] <iKK-ChatZilla> OSE english IM
[07:16] <gizim> Got a question maybe its simple and dumb - How do i make a command run in the issue.net file when someone logs in via ssh? Such as acpi -V right now its just saying "acpi -V" how can i make it run that command?
[07:16] <iKK-ChatZilla> http://www.triivi.com/download.asp
[07:16] <bullgard4> What program will output the file type of a file?
[07:17] <dsmith_> another person converted to ubuntu! :)
[07:17] <dsmith_> muhahahaah
[07:17] <osfameron> huh? ALSA is meant to support more than one application using the soundcard at a time anyway?  doesn't seem to work very well to me :-(
[07:17] <mosibfu> mhh i see wher eur going wrong, hang on fish
[07:17] <Jordan_U> osfameron, Can you point audacity at dmix ? ( I honestly don't know, it's just a thought )
[07:17] <kelvin911> crazy dude http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/7118/1hd3yg.jpg
[07:17] <fish> mosibfu, alrighty! progress!
[07:17] <msn> try using jackd
[07:17] <msn> osfameron: try using jackd -d alsa
[07:17] <msn> osfameron: then you can plug all apps into jackd
[07:17] <fish> mosibfu, patiently/eagerly waiting
[07:18] <mosibfu> first off, you got 2 devices, so youll need 2 device sections
[07:18] <dsmith_> kelvin911: did that work? haha
[07:18] <osfameron> Jordan_U: I think there is a dmix option somewhere, I'll check
[07:18] <mosibfu> one using the intel driver, so i suggest keeping that one
[07:18] <iKK-ChatZilla> kelvin911:  ICE ?
[07:19] <osfameron> msn: I don't understand jackd at all - makes no sense at all :-(  Is it the only way?  I've used audacity on its own before (yesterday for example) without it hanging and refusing to play...
[07:19] <fish> mosibfu, would you like to see my xorg.conf file?
[07:19] <mosibfu> fish, can you do a "lspci"  in a terminal, and put it in a pastebin for me?
[07:19] <mosibfu> and erm, put the xorg there too yeah, ill try to do the changes for you
[07:20] <fish> mosibfu, i can make a copy make it available
[07:20] <osfameron> Jordan_U: ah, the dmix option is only for recording (which works anyway, at the moment)
[07:20] <fish> mosibfu, yes, give me a sec, k?
[07:20] <mosibfu> ok :)
[07:21] <GiZiM> Got a question maybe its simple and dumb - How do i make a command run in the issue.net file when someone logs in via ssh? Such as acpi -V right now its just saying "acpi -V" how can i make it run that command?
[07:21] <fish> pastebin.com or org or net?
[07:21] <Daemonus> can someone tell me how can i put the home folder to my desktop please?
[07:21] <osfameron> oh, wait, I've got it the wrong way around, dmix is for playback only.  I'll try
[07:21] <mosibfu> !pastebin
[07:21] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[07:22] <osfameron> meh, but audacity itself is so slow and hangy
[07:22] <mosibfu> fish, that one will work :)
[07:22] <fish> Daemonus, Open Filesystem and Right-click the Home Folder and Click Create Link
[07:22] <Jordan_U> osfameron, There are other, more professional options :)
[07:22] <fish> Daemonus, Them move the newly created link to your desktop
[07:23] <osfameron> the terminal I launched audacity from is giving warnings like
[07:23] <Daemonus> doesnt allow me to make a link
[07:23] <osfameron> Expression 'ret' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 1034
[07:23] <fish> mosibfu, alrighty, one sec
[07:23] <osfameron> Jordan_U: I'm sure there are... but I just want to be able to record sound with internal mic, and play back on computer, nothing fancy...
[07:24] <osfameron> (linux sound)-- # too many choices, and none of them seem to work consistently
[07:24] <Jordan_U> osfameron, That's what pulseaudio is ( hopefully ) going to solve :)
[07:25] <Stroganoff> GiZiM you could add it to to .bash_profile
[07:25] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: Would everybody see it when they login? or just me?
[07:25] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: I would like everybody to see it if possiable
[07:25] <Daemonus> can someone tell me how can i put the home folder to my desktop please?
[07:25] <osfameron> Jordan_U: that'd be nice.  I apt-got that yesterday, but of course audacity doesn't support it
[07:25] <Jordan_U> osfameron, I think audacity might still try to use OSS by default, try starting audacity with "aoss audacity"
[07:26] <fish> mosibfu, ok here ya go
[07:26] <fish> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63383/
[07:26] <osfameron> Jordan_U: I've set both playback and recording to use ALSA though -- should I still do that?
[07:26] <Jordan_U> osfameron, Yea, audacity is reaaaaaaly starting to show its age and slow development :(
[07:26] <mosibfu> fish, there is some password on it?
[07:26] <fish> yeah, one sec
[07:26] <Stroganoff> GiZiM you could give $(command) a shot
[07:26] <Stroganoff> in issue.net
[07:27] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: in issue.net ?
[07:27] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: lol ok
[07:27] <osfameron> Jordan_U: is there anything else you'd recommend?  I'm mainly using audacity because it was the only one of the sound editing applicatoins that ever worked at all on my previous ubuntu install...
[07:27] <GiZiM> Stroganoff: wouldnt it be in /etc/motd?
