[14:17] <RabidWeezle> !clustering
[14:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clustering - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:17] <Rando> http://www.pastebin.ca/959486 - that's what the dpkg -l bitchx-gtk show
[14:17] <RabidWeezle> !cluster
[14:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cluster - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:17] <Lunar_Lamp> How can I stop my network-manager connecting to a particular wireless network?  Or, alterntivbely, always connect to a particular one.
[14:18] <ere4si> Rando: any reason for using bitchx? - xchat is a good gui irc client
[14:18] <InSaN3> do you have a link to download tor+privoxy in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy
[14:18] <RabidWeezle> anyone here ever clustered machines?
[14:18] <bazhang> RabidWeezle: you can /msg ubotu if you wish
[14:18] <RabidWeezle> thanks
[14:18] <Rando> no reason for bitchx specifically.... It's just the only client I knew of off the top of my head. I'd be happy to use xchat if it does "the basics"
[14:18] <nks_> Hello All, would anyone happen to know of a tutorial on the activation of an Atheros Ar5418 802.11a/b/g/n wireless pci on a Ubuntu 7.10 in a Macbook 2.16ghz ?
[14:18] <Da_Putzler> Pidgin works perfectly for IRC chat too, and it's built into Ubuntu
[14:19] <Jahrome> pidgin sucks
[14:19] <Jahrome> for irc
[14:19] <Rando> i'm not real keen on using pidgin, i've used it for IRC on windows, i'd rather use an actual IRC client
[14:19] <Jahrome> same here rando
[14:19] <InSaN3> do you have a link to download tor+privoxy in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy?
[14:19] <Da_Putzler> each to their own, lol... I like Pidgin :P
[14:19] <RabidWeezle> xchat and bitchx are both great, I just prefer xchat more for the gui and tabs
[14:19] <Rando> xchat needs to be installed, or is it already in place with Ubuntu 7.10?
[14:19] <smiley__> I just downloaded xchat, seems great so far
[14:19] <smiley__> Its not in place with 7.10.. needs to be installed
[14:20] <RabidWeezle> sudo apt-get install xchat
[14:20] <ere4si> Rando: it needs to be d/loaded
[14:20] <Kamikaze> is there any linux software for editing and syncing movie subtitles
[14:20] <Kamikaze> ?
[14:20] <Rando> is doing an apt-get effectively the same as using synaptic?
[14:20] <smiley__> Rando.. yes.
[14:20] <kitche> sudo apt-get install xchat should install the real xchat
[14:20] <Kamikaze> yes there is
[14:20] <Rando> is synaptic simply a gui for apt-get ?
[14:20] <terminal> which application i have to install to open irc file
[14:20] <Kamikaze> cool
[14:20] <kitche> since ubuntu by default as xchat-gnome
[14:21] <kitche> terminal: what do you mean by irc file
[14:21] <ere4si> Rando: yep
[14:21] <RabidWeezle> Rando yep, and also takes care of your sources too
[14:21] <terminal> .irc
[14:21] <archman> guys, i want to make from scratch one / partition and /home ; / is primary; but how do i need to flag /home ?
[14:21] <terminal> sry
[14:21] <terminal> lrc
[14:21] <RabidWeezle> like it can find the fastest server for you Rando
[14:21] <InSaN3> do you have a link to download tor+privoxy in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy?????????????????????
[14:21] <choward> Rando Synaptic is nice Adept is the KDE equiv.
[14:21] <terminal> kitche : lrc
[14:22] <quanquan> hello,every one
[14:22] <Pici> !tor | InSaN3 read this
[14:22] <ubotu> InSaN3 read this: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg
[14:22] <RabidWeezle> welcome quaal
[14:22] <quanquan> who can help me
[14:22] <RabidWeezle> quanquan,
[14:22] <Kamikaze> me fucku fucky Jesus' mom
[14:22] <quanquan> hi
[14:22] <Kamikaze> me fucku fucky Fatima Zahra (
[14:22] <InSaN3> thx
[14:22] <RabidWeezle> anyone can help you, just ask your question :)
[14:22] <quanquan> i do not know how to install ubuntu7.10 from harddisk
[14:22] <RabidWeezle> you can't burn a cd?
[14:22] <quanquan> i have put iso file in my harddisk C
[14:23] <quanquan> i can
[14:23] <smiley__> burn to disc
[14:23] <choward> archman What size HDD are you installing Ubuntu?
[14:23] <smiley__> ..boot from said disc
[14:23] <InSaN3> Pici But im 7.10 gutsy
[14:23] <smiley__> .. follow onscreen instructions
[14:23] <RabidWeezle> quanquan, you want to save your windows partition or go completly linux?
[14:23] <archman> choward: 55gb
[14:23] <quanquan> save my windows partition
[14:23] <Pici> InSaN3: apt-get install tor privoxy
[14:24] <InSaN3> kk thx
[14:24] <Exfil> does anyone know what would cause really tiny controls and textboxes
[14:24] <Rando_> voila!
[14:24] <Exfil> on my login screen
[14:24] <DuperMan> the tor gui's good too
[14:25] <DuperMan> forgot its' name though
[14:25] <RabidWeezle> ok, when you are installing quanquan make sure you read the instructions, at some point you will resize your windows partition and and such, it makes it easy. But make SURE you burn the iso like DAO or disc at once, and load the image into your burner app correctly...
[14:25] <archman> choward: any tip?
[14:25] <DuperMan> vidalia
[14:25] <Rando_> thanks for the nudge towards xchat
[14:25] <RabidWeezle> quanquan, don't just burn the one file to the cd, we get some people that do that, an iso is an image of a disc
[14:25] <Rando_> It's up and running, and I think it'll do the job
[14:25] <choward> archman make / 15GB and /swap 2GB and /home the rest.  just type /home in the mount point field in the Ubuntu partitioner step of the install.
[14:26] <quanquan> thank you ,but i can install ubuntu from CD
[14:26] <RabidWeezle> yep
[14:26] <RabidWeezle> just like windows
[14:26] <RabidWeezle> you set your bios to boot from cdrom first
[14:26] <quanquan> i just want to install unbuntu from harddisk
[14:26] <kitche> quanquan: so you want to use wubi which is unsupported here
[14:26] <RabidWeezle> trust me, you can't do it very easily, much easier to just burn a cd
[14:26] <archman> choward: whats primary, whats logical?
[14:26] <quanquan> i come from chinese,my english is not well,i hope you can understand me
[14:27] <choward> They are the same.
[14:27] <kitche> !wubi | quanquan
[14:27] <ubotu> quanquan: wubi advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234  and  http://wubi.org  [file wubi bugs here:  https://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug ] (it will be included in hardy 8.04 currently in beta)
[14:27] <heartsblood> Does anybody know if a good flight sim game was ever launched on linux, or has a linux port?
[14:27] <RabidWeezle> flightgear
[14:27] <bazhang> quanquan: your english is fine ;]
[14:27] <evand> kitche: Wubi is supported.
[14:28] <kitche> evand: now it is before it wasn't I have not been in this channel for a long time
[14:28] <evand> this was discussed in #ubuntu-ops the other day.
[14:28] <Svenstaro> heartsblood, theres a commercial one, xplane, I hear its the best :)
[14:28] <heartsblood> ty
[14:28] <Svenstaro> heartsblood, also M$ flightsims work till 2004
[14:29] <RabidWeezle> in wine right?
[14:29] <Svenstaro> yees
[14:29] <renski> I need to update my sources.list, i remember there used to be a nifty web app that help you choose new sources
[14:29] <renski> is that still around?
[14:29] <scraga1> how can I repair a rar file? somehow it's not extracting when it should :(
[14:29] <Svenstaro> renski, I ubuntu you dont usually dont need to do that because the ubuntu repo's are fine, what do you need?
[14:29] <bazhang> renski: sadly it is not; source-o-matic it was called
[14:29] <Jahrome> can anyone check for me if xdtv or tvtime are in the repos? - please im on a windows box atm
[14:30] <quanquan> i have copied ubuntu.iso/grldr/initrd.gz/vmlinz/menu.lst to partition E
[14:30] <Svenstaro> scraga1, check if you have >2gb support
[14:30] <renski> To be able to use apt-get
[14:30] <quanquan> and i have edited menu.lst
[14:30] <Svenstaro> !info xdtv
[14:30] <renski> current source file is using static ips
[14:30] <Svenstaro> !info tvtime
[14:30] <archman> choward: so i create / 15gb as primary; 2gb of swap; and the rest /home what type? So i get it as primary too?
[14:30] <choward> archman I always use Primary as my partition type durring install there really is not much diff.
[14:30] <Jahrome> !tvtime
[14:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tvtime - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:30] <choward> yes primary
[14:30] <Jahrome> !xdtv
[14:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xdtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:30] <DENI> hai....
[14:30] <Nasra> !help
[14:30] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[14:30] <archman> choward: so 2 primaries will be?
[14:30] <choward> yup
[14:30] <quanquan> ??
[14:30] <bazhang> Jahrome: please /msg ubotu for that
[14:31] <choward> you can have 4 on one drive I think.
[14:31] <Jahrome> can anyone check for me if xdtv or tvtime are in the repos? - please im on a windows box atm - maybe the bot is daft id just like to confirm
[14:31] <archman> choward: thanks for your help !
[14:31] <renski> apt-get isnt working so I figure the ips in the source.list file must be wrong
[14:31] <renski> as in, out of date
[14:31] <bazhang> Jahrome: try /msg ubotu info packagename
[14:31] <Jahrome> just open synaptic
[14:31] <Jahrome> and choose it from the menu
[14:32] <Svenstaro> renski, did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt (or apt-get) ?
[14:32] <Pici> bazhang: fyi, !info is a bit broken currently
[14:32] <[agatha]> i... have a tiny little problem here... from a week or so, i cannot find the "buttons' to restart / turn off the computer... they simply vanished, I don't know what i've done. they were fine, but i remember to uninstall emerald (maybe it's not related, but i just can think about that) next time i tried to reboot, they weren
[14:33] <bazhang> ah thanks Pici
[14:33] <[agatha]> *weren't there... any clue??
[14:33] <choward> archman good luck and see you from ubuntuland :0
[14:33] <El1> you mean the physical buttons agatha?
[14:33] <El1> or the buttons in ubuntu?
[14:33] <[agatha]> no El1  the buttons in ubuntu
[14:33] <[agatha]> i have checked everywhere, they are not :(
[14:34] <DENI> may i join with you?
[14:34] <El1> if you push the off button from your computer they should appear
[14:34] <choward> I think he means the buttons in gnome ... unless someone came and stole his power button.
[14:34] <El1> you're laughing but I actually had that ^^
[14:34] <[agatha]> hmm let me try that
[14:34] <El1> some guy pulled a prank on me by stealing my power button
[14:34] <choward> I work in IT... you'd be supprized at the stories I hear.
[14:34] <bazhang> offtopic
[14:34] <renski> This is odd, im trying to install GCC basically, and now im getting this message
[14:34] <DENI> woooooi?
[14:34] <El1> Poor you choward, poor you :P
[14:35] <quanquan> faint,i have never heard of wubi,and i don't know what wubi is, :(
[14:35] <ephesius> choward: lets hear the best one
[14:35] <choward> .. me: press the power button... Client: ok  my screen turned off.. now what.
[14:35] <renski> gcc-4.0-base is already the newest version.
[14:35] <bazhang> !ot
[14:35] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[14:35] <El1> rofl
[14:35] <renski> but it doesnt appear to be installed
[14:35] <El1> did you actually choose to work in IT support?
[14:35] <El1> or just coz you have no other option?
[14:35] <Pici> El1: #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[14:36] <choward> <--is an IT super-hero
[14:36] <beex> my thinkpad with gutsy on it seems to be frozen
[14:36] <bazhang> El1: do you not understand offtopic?
[14:36] <El1> ok
[14:36] <El1> sorry
[14:36] <Pici> renski: Do you have a gui on that computer? If so, go to System>Administration>Software sources in Gnome and pick new mirrors
[14:36] <renski> Pici: if I had a gui, id have been done ages ago
[14:37] <renski> its a machine I cant get to
[14:37] <renski> and doesnt have x installed
[14:37] <El1> moving on to ontopic then: when I'm trying to upgrade to gutsy I'm getting this error 'Failed to fetch http://repository.debuntu.org/dists/feisty/Release Unable to find expected entry  universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)'
[14:37] <Svenstaro> El1, are you using a proxy?
[14:37] <renski> basically, ive ssh access and thats it
[14:37] <El1> not using a proxy
[14:38] <Svenstaro> renski, the ubuntu sources.list generator you mentioned is now offline :(
[14:38] <Lamego> E11 you should not use a feisty repository if you are upgradng to gutsy
[14:38] <Pici> El1: Remove/comment that repo from your sources.list or use Software Sources to remove it.
[14:38] <bazhang> El1: what is that repo for? that is not one of the usual ubuntu ones
[14:38] <[agatha]> hmm no El1  that didn't work :P
[14:38] <renski> alright, so how do go about setting up my repos list then?
[14:38] <El1> ok will try that pici
[14:38] <Svenstaro> renski, want mine?
[14:38] <smokeyd> hey people. I keep getting into trouble with my extranal usb harddrive with ntfs filesystem. It works nicely under Ubuntu, but when I try to use it in Windows, I get access denied errors. As administrator I have to reset all the rights on the external harddrive before I can use it. Any ideas to why this is?
[14:39] <TheFool> So I have been fooling around with the 8.04 beta and the wubi installation method and I think it is brilliant. However, at the beginning of the process you are asked to specify a size for the installation and I have a few questions about that.
[14:39] <El1> agatha I don't know what else you could try except uninstalling emerald, I'm a real noob myself you see :P
[14:39] <choward> E|1 check your /etc/apt/sources.list file and change any fiesty to gutsy or comment them out. save and apt-get update/upgrade
[14:39] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for that please TheFool
[14:39] <renski> is yours drake?
[14:39] <skyhook> quick question, If I have a newer version of a program (in a .deb) then the one I have installed, can I just start the deb or should I uninstall first?
[14:39] <TheFool> ok
[14:39] <[agatha]> El1,  no worries at least you tried :)
[14:39] <evand> TheFool: what about it?
[14:39] <Svenstaro> renski ?
[14:39] <El1> ok thanks chow
[14:39] <El1> np ag :-)
[14:40] <renski> source list, is it setup for dapper drake
[14:40] <TheFool> One does the file created "grow" or does it start out full size, and two is it possible to change that file size at a later date?
[14:40] <Svenstaro> skyhook, the package, if properly done, removes the old package
[14:40] <quanquan> bazhang,are you chinese?
[14:40] <skyhook> Svenstaro: okay thanks
[14:40] <Svenstaro> renski, afraid not, a google might help
[14:40] <quanquan> bazhang,bazhang,bazhang,beep,beep~~~~~~~~~~~~
[14:40] <bazhang> TheFool: this is hardy please go to the other channel
[14:40] <choward> TheFool I would choose around 8-10GB for an install. Ubuntu can see NTFS flie systems and can "share" the Windows C: drive.
[14:40] <bazhang> quanquan: this is not a chat channel thanks
[14:41] <renski> Ive tried google, all I can see if people saying they should use synaptic instead
[14:41] <renski> and about how the sources.list file works, but no where to get a list of mirrors
[14:41] <TheFool> bazhang: I have, however I was asked in this channel to elaborate further. It would have been rude of me to do otherwise
[14:41] <bazhang> TheFool: not so; this is explicitly not the channel for that
[14:42] <quanquan> then,which channel i should join in?
[14:42] <Pici> renski: http://rafb.net/p/gNIoEP34.txt
[14:42] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic quanquan
[14:42] <[agatha]> any other ideas about those buttons??/
[14:42] <quanquan> thx,bye
[14:42] <choward> I wonder if you could ln your /home/thefool folder to /windowsdrive/Documents\ and\ Settings/thefool hmmm...
[14:42] <renski> i'll give those a go pici, thanks
[14:43] <quanquan> help
[14:43] <quanquan> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:43] <bazhang> quanquan: type /j #channelname
[14:43] <Pici> quanquan: /join
[14:43] <Svenstaro> renski, try netselect-apt
[14:43] <El1> Choward, replacing all the feisty's with gutsy in sources.list didn't work, what else can I try?
[14:43] <quanquan> it's ok now
[14:43] <Pici> !upgrade | El1
[14:43] <pike__> El1: you then need to apt-get update
[14:43] <ubotu> El1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[14:44] <El1> right, sorry
[14:44] <Odd-rationale> TheFool: This question seems to more of a wubi question than a hardy question. So I will be willing to answer that to the best of my knowledge. :) 1. It starts out full size. and 2. you can not grow it, unless you move it to its own deicated partiton.
[14:44] <pteague> i don't seem to be getting any audio in recordmydesktop :(
[14:44] <Svenstaro> renski, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/netselect
[14:44] <TheFool> Odd-rationale: Thank you.
[14:44] <Odd-rationale> pteague: http://www.sourcecode.de/content/solved-desktop-recording-with-sound
[14:45] <Odd-rationale> TheFool: np
[14:45] <choward> E|1 alt+F2 and type upgrade-manager -d
[14:45] <InSaN3> dose anyone have a tut on tor+privoxy?
[14:45] <Svenstaro> can anybody tell me why Automatix is not accepted? I don't use it, I just wonder.
[14:46] <Pici> !automatix | Svenstaro please read
[14:46] <ubotu> Svenstaro please read: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and ยซ /msg ubotu WorksForMe ยป
[14:46] <El1> says it can't find upgrade-manager, but trying apt-get upgrade first now
[14:46] <unop__> choward, you could just - mount "/windowsdrive/Documents and Settings/thefool" /home/thfool
[14:46] <pteague> Odd-rationale> thanks
[14:46] <Svenstaro> Pici, Oh right could have thought about that myself :P thanks
[14:46] <Odd-rationale> pteague: I haven't tried it myself. Hope it works!
[14:46] <InSaN3> tut on tor+privoxy please?
[14:46] <pteague> hmm...  doesn't seem to be a libasound2-utils package though :(
[14:47] <Nasra> Svenstaro....I hear screws up your system.....I had i and then uninstalled it oh lol....
[14:47] <choward> unop yeah.. I was thinking that too for TheFool's wubi install would be neeto to use MyDocuments as a /home folder
[14:47] <Pici> InSaN3: read the page Ubotu linked you to or ask in #tor
[14:47] <quanquan> ok,i will burn a cd
[14:47] <InSaN3> kk
[14:48] <unop__> choward, i'm not really sure how wubi works, but if ubuntu within it can read the partitions on the disk, then thats definitely possible
[14:48] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: I can help you tor+privoxy.
[14:48] <InSaN3> kk
[14:48] <InSaN3> i need to no how to install tor+privoxy
[14:48] <quanquan> slax is also a good distribution,i think
[14:48] <renski> This thing still isnt installing, after changing my sources.list file do I need to anything else?
[14:48] <InSaN3> and i need a tut please
[14:48] <bazhang> InSaN3: keep in mind that it will slow down your browsing quite a lot
[14:48] <marjan> i dunno how to install real player i have download it, can any one help me
[14:48] <InSaN3> idk
[14:49] <unop__> renski, you need to run this command first -- sudo apt-get update
[14:49] <InSaN3> idc its fine with me i have super fast internet
[14:49] <Svenstaro> renski, you need to run sudo apt-get update
[14:49] <choward> marjan what file did you download?
[14:49] <InSaN3> if i dont like it ill uninstall it ")
[14:49] <marjan> bin
[14:49] <marjan> choward:  bin
[14:49] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: first, "sudo apt-get install tor privoxy"
[14:49] <Nasra> where the list with all commands?
[14:49] <evand> TheFool: actually, you should be able to grow it just fine.
[14:49] <Rando_> are the packages for mounting an NFS share installed by default on a 7.10 install?

[14:50] <Nasra> pici I am new to linux just doing my transition from windows..I have no idean where all my files go ....can you help me please/
[14:50] <Nasra> thanks
[14:50] <Rando_> i'm unable to mount an NFS share - it's giving me a fs type unknown error
[14:50] <choward> marjan it is better to use the realplayer from the ubuntu repositories.. you have to add the Comercial repo
[14:50] <quanquan> i don't know how to mount a ntfs partition
[14:51] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: edit as root, that is
[14:51] <evand> TheFool: there's also resize2fs
[14:51] <Cooler> join #Jaden
[14:51] <pteague> bastid_raZor> nope, i just installed the recordmydesktop package
[14:51] <marjan> choward: how
[14:51] <InSaN3> kk what do i do?
[14:51] <renski> yay, gcc is installed
[14:51] <quanquan> mirc is too ugly
[14:51] <Nasra> is it the /home
[14:51] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: hold. let me get mine up too :)
[14:51] <renski> how can I search for packages? I need the mysql c API
[14:51] <unop__> pteague, libasound2-utils isnt a valid package -- maybe if you tell us what you are looking for, we can guide you to the right one
[14:51] <InSaN3> lol kk
[14:51] <bastid_raZor> pteague; i have the gtk-recordmydesktop version .. i change the file extension to ogm and players seem to like that better
[14:51] <Pici> !cli | Nasra
[14:51] <ubotu> Nasra: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[14:52] <choward> marjan to do this, open Synaptic and select repositores from the settings menu.
[14:52] <Pici> renski: apt-cache search stuff OR aptitude search stuff
[14:52] <evand> TheFool: but yes, using the lvpm gui i probably the easiest way
[14:52] <evand> is*
[14:52] <choward> There is a tab for third party
[14:52] <renski> thanks Pici
[14:52] <Rando_> Seems nfs-common is not installed, it seems I need this to connect to an NFS share, sound right?
[14:52] <Nasra> Pici....thanks alot
[14:52] <os2mac> Hi, when ever I try to open the Desktop Effects window I get the following error : http://jim.macdonald.org/images/Screenshot-Error.png
[14:52] <renski> Im assuming if I want to install the latest version of something or search for a new package, I'll need to do another apt-get update ?

[14:53] <InSaN3> odd
[14:53] <InSaN3> i sent u a private chat
[14:53] <choward> The reason you want to use the official Ubuntu repo is for compatibility.. you know it will work .. and you can remove it easy if you wan.
[14:53] <verb3k> guys how to install dependencies of a package without installing it? (only the depends)
[14:53] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: are you registered?
[14:53] <unop__> renski, the mysql header files, should be here - libmysqlclient15-dev

[14:54] <burnthand> hi, i've got ubuntu 7.10 and i'm running into problems trying to run vnc from terminal server client
[14:54] <InSaN3> ooo LOL
[14:54] <unop__> verb3k, apt-get build-depends package
[14:54] <InSaN3> kk well anyways
[14:54] <InSaN3> about the line thingy
[14:54] <verb3k> unop__, yeah I tried that but it gets only the build depends, not all depends (try it for mplayer to know what I mean)
[14:54] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: /join #Odd-rationale
[14:55] <burnthand> i get a connection but then it just hangs once the connection is made to the server
[14:55] <InSaN3> how?
[14:55] <bastid_raZor> pteague; i also use vlc to view it.
[14:55] <burnthand> anybody know how to fix this?
[14:55] <Odd-rationale> InSaN3: "/join #Odd-rationa;e"
[14:55] <InSaN3> kk
[14:55] <InSaN3> im there
[14:55] <marjan> choward:  and waht next
[14:55] <Lamego> verb3k, apt-get build-dep package
[14:55] <pteague> bastid_raZor> hmm...  this is throwing me for a loop... i've not yet used jack & it doesn't seem to want to start
[14:56] <verb3k> Lamego, yeah I tried that but it gets only the build depends, not all depends (try it for mplayer to know what I mean)
[14:56] <Lamego> verb3k, what is exactly your purpose ? If you want to install a package dependencies, just install it
[14:56] <unop__> verb3k, errm, true but generally that should suffice,  this could work - aptitude install $(apt-cache depends mplayer | grep -i depends | awk -F: '{print $2}')
[14:56] <bastid_raZor> pteague; apparently i need to have some sort of sound input.. like a microphone.. i guess it doesn't pick up sound directoy from alsa :\ .. mine starts/records fine.. just no sound.. i'm doing something wrong though.. give me a bit i'll figure it out
[14:57] <verb3k> unop__, thanks, will try it now
[14:57] <bastid_raZor> s/directoy/directly
[14:57] <pteague> the playback device "hw:0" is already in use. Pleas stop the application using it and run JACK again...
[14:58] <[agatha]> hey guys... can you take a look at this screenie and tell me what i've done or messed up? http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whereisitzj9.png (and how to fix it)
[14:59] <turdega> [agatha], are you talking about the gnome panel being a hideous hot pink?
[15:00] <bazhang> turdega she likely means the missing shutdown button
[15:00] <[agatha]> no turdega  about the restart / turn off buttons in the first screen... what's behind is my choice :P
[15:00] <choward> marjan you should enable the partner repos.. then install the mozilla-helix-player package.  Helix it the Realplayer
[15:00] <[agatha]> (and i love my pink :D)
[15:00] <captainm> [agatha], I've seen this problem when kdm login manager is being used instead of GNOME's gdm. If you are using kdm and want to switch back to gdm use the following command:
[15:00] <captainm> [agatha], sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[15:00] <andash> hi, a while ago i used a command to ping a host and only get a "host xxx is alive" output, what command might that have been?
[15:00] <[agatha]> ok im gonna try captainm be right back
[15:01] <Lamego> andash, man ping
[15:01] <turdega> [agatha], =P
[15:01] <[agatha]> :D
[15:01] <[agatha]> now i should restart X?
[15:02] <choward> marjan on my system the package is called mozilla-helix-player
[15:02] <choward> or helix-player
[15:02] <andash> Lamego: been there done that, didnt find it...
[15:02] <turdega> [agatha], likely
[15:02] <[agatha]> ok so there we go :D
[15:03] <verb3k> unop__, is there a way to strip newlines out of a piece of text?
[15:03] <pteague> ok, what's the keyboard commands for resizing the screen?
[15:03] <pteague> nm
[15:04] <marjan> choward:  i have installed Helix
[15:04] <KnifeHat> When I try to change the close window button in the CompizConfig Settings Manager, it just undoes my changes, how do I fix that?
[15:04] <unop__> verb3k, pipe output to tr -d "\n"
[15:04] <marjan> choward: still nadda
[15:04] <choward> For referance if you wanted to run the installer you downloaded you can run it from the comand line with ./fileIdownloaded.bin or right click and make the file executable.
[15:04] <verb3k> unop__, thanks for your time :)
[15:04] <[agatha]> that didn't work either
[15:04] <unop__> verb3k, yw
[15:04] <captainm> [agatha], hmm,  go to System > Administration > Login Window and make sure "Show Actions Menu" and "Include Host Name..." are checked
[15:05] <choward> marjan what is it you are trying to do
[15:05] <[agatha]> it wasn't :P
[15:05] <marjan> open a .rm file choward
[15:05] <[agatha]> oh yeah captainm
[15:05] <[agatha]> i have them back!! thanks thanks thanks :DD
[15:06] <captainm> np

[15:13] <madman5402> hey what is the name if the media player closest to itunes
[15:13] <bazhang> madman5402: probably amarok
[15:13] <unop__> madman5402, itunes
[15:13] <balle> verb3k: no sound what so ever
[15:13] <choward> marjan to run the .bin just right click the file and select properties then permissions, click execute and then ok.. now double click the .bin file.
 o amarok ok cool
[15:14] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. if that .bin asked any questions in the console.. wouldent they get lost?
[15:14] <verb3k> balle, try checking the volume manager and make try this in terminal  "alsamixer" and make usre everything is not muted
[15:15] <bazhang> madman5402: it is pretty nice; but if you have the very newest iPod you may have to wait for the next release #ubuntu+1 for it to work in ubuntu--all others work fine
[15:15] <sls> Ok there seems to be a fair support for Logitech cameras (they use the Philips cipsets i think)
[15:15] <balle> verb3k: also the iec stuff?
[15:16] <sls> All though the quick cam pro 9000 is not listed.
[15:16] <bazhang> http://www.linuxlove.org/2007/11/12/linux-webcam-microsoft-lifecam-nx-6000-on-ubuntu-and-fedora/ this has a longer list sls

[15:18] <balle> panterra ftw!
[15:18] <anakin_> couldnt find one from synaptic. search for 'porn' resulted in a porn viewer xD
[15:18] <sls> bazhang - does that mean that is will work with Ubuntu? I would really rather use Ubuntu that Fedora... Ubuntu usually outclasses the other distributions...
[15:18] <anakin_> sls, do you mean logitech?
[15:19] <sls> anakin_ indeed --- forgive my poor spelling.
[15:19] <bazhang> http://dansguardian.org/ anakin_

[15:21] <bazhang> sls: did you read the link?
[15:21] <bazhang> [1]Rafael: any way to up the ram? you might also consider xubunut or fluxbuntu
[15:22] <Ntemis> hello
[15:22] <bazhang> arg typing xubuntu
[15:22] <sls> bazhang the link is dead? it does not load.
[15:22] <captainm> [1]Rafael, Ubuntu should run, but as bazhang said xubuntu might give you a better experience
[15:22] <sls> bazhang - is there a typo in it?
[15:22] <v3ctor> [1]Rafael: i am running it on a p3 550 w/ 512mb ram

[15:23] <rene> hi, i would like to be able to also access my music files from windows. They are stored on an ext3 partition and diskinternals linuxreaders displays them just fine. Unfortunately i couldn't find an option to mount the filesystem so my mp3 player can find them. Any suggestions?
[15:23] <Edwinn> I've been using ubuntu for about 3 months, love it.  Need to send this computer back for a new HDD, can anyone recommend how I save my system exactly as is on a drive??
[15:23] <Ntemis> is there any good gui driven mp3 normalization program?
[15:24] <sls> rene -- there is an ext3 driver for windows.
[15:24] <sls> on sourceforge it think.
[15:24] <jeffMASTERflex> rene: there is an ext3 driver named ext2fs or something like that
[15:24] <amenado> !clone | Edwinn
[15:24] <ubotu> Edwinn: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type ยซ dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages ยป, move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type ยซ sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade ยป - See also !automate
[15:24] <SeveredCross> There's Ext2fsd and there's also Ext2 IFS.
[15:25] <SeveredCross> Both of them work.
[15:25] <amenado> Edwinn also save your  /home  directory
[15:25] <bastid_raZor> http://www.fs-driver.org/   .. that is the windows driver for ext2/3
[15:25] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547944 sls what about this link?
[15:25] <Ntemis> is there any good gui driven mp3 normalization program?
[15:26] <captainm> Edwinn, What ubotu said. For saving your home partition use "find . -depth -print0 | cpio โnull โsparse -pvd /home_backup/
[15:26] <sls> Edwinn -- there is no 'easy' way to do it using free software... you can use Ghost, or Powerquest, or something...
[15:26] <espenxmd> Is it a norwegian ubuntu irc channel on the ubuntu server ? The school network for some reason is banned from EFnet ..:((
[15:27] <Edwinn> thx all

[15:27] <rene> thank you very much
[15:27] <sls> Edwinn -- allthough you may find a g4something on distrowatch... it is a bootable cd based on bsd that can be used to capture disks and partitions...

[15:31] <stack_> Dr_willis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/206635 (Did I report this correctly?)
[15:32] <captainm> stack_, Have you read this? http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html
[15:34] <Dr_willis> stack_,  you might want to test with some of the live cd's to see if they also have the same issue. it may be a upgrade issue.. or some odd kernel issue.
[15:35] <bazhang> neopsyche: you need to follow the tutorial and if you get stuck ask questions; it is quite clearly laid out though

[15:59] <Filled-Void> hey all, I downloaded all the deb packages for a certain program for Ubuntu GG 64 bit. I have 12-15 deb file son my desktop now. How would I install this though :x. is there a command I could run from terminal to install all these deb files in one go?
[15:59] <Kragnerac> Ubuntu.
[15:59] <s_> when opening firefox "ns_error_failure" comes.how can i rescue from this msg?
[16:00] <hhlp> Filled-Void, dpkg -i *.deb
[16:00] <LjL> Filled-Void: "dpkg -i *.deb", repeat until all are installed. make SURE that those packages are actually for Ubuntu (your version), or you may hose your system.
[16:00] <Filled-Void> hhlp, LjL, Thank you :). I confirmed that twice already.
[16:01] <neopsyche> LjL, any chance you could help me with a few wireless questions?
[16:01] <LjL> neopsyche, i'm afraid i've never really used a wifi network
[16:01] <neopsyche> LjL,im trying to use this guide but not sure what they mean
[16:01] <_DjScrew_>  irc.easynews.com
[16:01] <ethan961> SuperSayjin, what chipset does it say your card has?
[16:01] <neopsyche> hmm
[16:01] <SuperSayjin> FSD7001
[16:02] <s_> no experts ere thanx
[16:02] <captainm> LjL, He'll have to change some settings in about:config
[16:02] <thefirstdude> how to install a .deb on ubuntu, thanks?
[16:02] <neopsyche> anyone help with wireless issues?
[16:03] <LjL> !gdebi | thefirstdude
[16:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gdebi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:03] <thefirstdude> I'm in terminal, what can I do?
[16:03] <LjL> excuse me ubotu?
[16:03] <thefirstdude> lol
[16:03] <neopsyche> thefirstdude, download it.. click on it.
[16:03] <neopsyche> :-)
[16:03] <neopsyche> if in terminal .. not sure.
[16:03] <bullgard4> thefirstdude: The best procedure for a beginner is to use the program 'Synaptic'.
[16:03] <ethan961> SuperSayjin, do you know what chipset manufacturer?
[16:03] <LjL> !deb | thefirstdude
[16:03] <ubotu> thefirstdude: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[16:03] <LjL> !gdebi is <alias> deb
[16:03] <ubotu> I'll remember that, LjL
[16:03] <[_Snarf_]> alright, I'm trying to convert a video to ipod format, but when I attempt to, it errors out with "Unknown codec 'libfaac'". When I attempt to install libfaac-dev, it tells me that it's already installed.
[16:03] <thefirstdude> I'm not a beginner
[16:04] <LjL> thefirstdude, who said you were a beginner?
[16:04] <thefirstdude> donno
[16:04] <captainm> LjL, "signed:applets" needs to be set to true and he has to add a new string named "network.protocol-handler.app.irc" wit the value "/usr/bin/xchat"
[16:04] <neopsyche> [_Snarf_],perhaps install ffmpeg if you dont have it already
[16:04] <SuperSayjin> how would i go abiut installing the driver my card needs then i know the name of the driver is bcm43xx
[16:04] <neopsyche> can anyone help me understand this guide.. i need some help with the first step.. http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html
[16:04] <mst__> Hey, anyone know why somtimes I get sound when I load the ubuntu 7.10 live cd and somtimes i dont?
[16:04] <[_Snarf_]> ffmpeg is already the newest version.
[16:04] <LjL> captainm, but he says that X-Chat *does* start when he clicks on the links - it just doesn't connect to the given network and join the given channel
[16:05] <neopsyche> mst__, could have something to do with your sound card being faulty
[16:05] <Viaken> How do I deactivate init scripts? Just because I installed wesnoth-server doesn't mean I want it to start every boot. :P
[16:05] <Zimniy124> Who here listens Rap?
[16:05] <SuperSayjin> all i know about the card is that its made by belkin btw

[16:06] <balgarath> anyone tried naughtysvn?
[16:06] <neopsyche> does anyone know how to set a wep key?
[16:06] <captainm> LjL, hmm wouldn't know about that. He could always join manually couldn't he?
[16:06] <LadyNikon> "iwconfig eth1 essid <essid> key off" I am still not able to get connected to the wap at school.
[16:06] <LjL> captainm: i suppose so
[16:06] <LadyNikon> does anyone know how to turn off the roaming for the network?
[16:06] <rryan> Viaken : You can 'chmod u-x' the script to make it not executable. I believe that will prevent it from running at boot
[16:06] <ethan961> !broadcom | SuperSayjin
[16:06] <neopsyche> mst__, perhaps try install it.. otherwise i dont know. :-)
[16:06] <neopsyche> mst__,but that sounds confusing. hope you get it right.
[16:06] <ubotu> SuperSayjin: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[16:06] <Viaken> rryan: Is that the preferred method?
[16:07] <neopsyche> can anyone help with setting up wireless .. i am not sure of first step
[16:07] <neopsyche> http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html
[16:07] <mst__> LadyNikon, you'll also have to dhclient eth1
[16:07] <Zimniy124> Where I have got?
[16:07] <rryan> Viaken : Well, ideally I think the service should ask you whether you'd like it to start or not. If it listed itself under System > Administration > Services you can disable it there.
[16:08] <Viaken> Neither apply here. Alright, then. Thanks. :)
[16:08] <RoC_MasterMind> Anybody found a solution for making fail2ban work under Ubuntu, whose syslog logs compresses the log by saying "last line repeated x times" which fail2ban doesn't parse?
[16:08] <LjL> captainm: seems he has solved it the way you said though, thanks
[16:08] <captainm> LjL, or he could make a script that opens an irc chanel in a tab and pass that to firefox. Just put that as the vallue in the about:config instead of /usr/bin/xchat. I can't write the script though.
[16:08] <captainm> ah ok

[16:10] <LadyNikon> aww he left

[16:15] <inSanity_> my server has a larger resolution then my client
[16:16] <rausb0> neopsyche: ad-hoc mode is only possible with few drivers. why do you want ad-hoc mode anyway?
[16:16] <neopsyche> ok.

[16:36] <Tyczek> hi, I wanted to run Nintendo DS emulator, but error is showing and application is closing: http://wklej.org/id/5fa1d1def5
[16:36] <chade> if I delete everything in /home/name/.evolution/exchange/ will that force my evolution to resync my exchange mailbox?
[16:36] <MukiEX> ugh, why can I hear my mic through my speakers but not record?! Anger >_<
[16:36] <DRebellion> CJS3141, its just a matter of knowing. most things are pretty common sense.
[16:37] <perlmonkey2> the ubuntu wiki is a little hard for me to navigate...is there a roadmap for 8.04?
[16:37] <neopsyche> I'm trying to set up an ad-hoc connection using this guide http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html but when I execute the first command I get the following error message [I'm trying to set up an ad-hoc connection using this guide http://anojrs.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-creating-wireless-home-network.html but when I execute the first command I get the following error message [Error for wireless request "Set Mode"

[16:37] <boris_> my CPU (or GFX) fan is loud, althrough nothing hardware-demanding is running. im also getting poor performance in tremulous - 15 FPS at worst, i think im getting alot of hardware interrupts. top :Cpu(s):  5.4%us,  1.5%sy,  0.5%ni, 79.8%id,  4.5%wa,  8.3%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
[16:37] <boris_> my fan just wont shut up !
[16:37] <DRebellion> neopsyche, perhaps your driver does not support ad-hoc
[16:37] <crazy_elf> Kalamarencu, any other ideas what it might be, or where I might look to see if I screwed something up?
[16:38] <chade> neopsyche:  have you installed the wpa-supplicant ?
[16:38] <neopsyche> DRebellion,http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/AdHoc
[16:39] <keith> hello
[16:39] <rausb0> neopsyche: you have to use wlanconfig (madwifi specific) for changing the mode, not iwconfig
[16:39] <keith> i'm a brand new ubuntu user
[16:40] <perlmonkey2> Why doens't heron have a roadmap in the wiki?
[16:40] <keith> can someone direct me where to get info for a beginner?
[16:40] <DRebellion> perlmonkey2, place to ask is #ubuntu+1
[16:40] <DRebellion> keith, right here
[16:40] <keith> thanks

[16:41] <keith> i've tried to install yahoo messenger and i get nowhere
[16:41] <captainm> crazy_elf, Are you trying to move something to an externel disk?
[16:41] <stinger05> hello there, which program is the best for a modem dial-up with a user interface ?
[16:41] <verb3k> boris_, specs?
[16:41] <rausb0> neopsyche: please don't query me without asking. i cannot answer you anyway, i am not registered
[16:41] <SuperSayjin> yay good news it accepted the drivers i got and the card now says in use so now how do i go about connecting my card to my router o.o
[16:41] <neopsyche> ok
[16:42] <neopsyche> madwifi specific?
[16:42] <DRebellion> keith, yahoo messenger? that's windows software?
[16:42] <neopsyche> rausb0,see above
[16:42] <crazy_elf> captainm, no just like dragging an icon from say one side of the desktop to the other.  It copies instead of moving.  yet... it never used to do it, it used to just move it.  Pushing shift every time to make it just move is a little annoying when trying to clean up the desktop
[16:42] <keith> there is a Linux version
[16:42] <boris_> verb3k: 3.0 GHZ intel pentium 4, 2 gb of RAM, ATI HD2600PRO, fglrx, my xorg listy my old graphics card which i removed as well. my sound card sometimes doesnt work after reboot
[16:42] <boris_> lists*
[16:42] <keith> is there a command here to get rid of all the joins and quits?
[16:43] <verb3k> boris_, strange that you get 15 FPS with this machine...
[16:43] <DRebellion> keith, what client you using?
[16:43] <boris_> verb3k: yesterday i got 90
[16:43] <boris_> verb3k: did u see my top ?
[16:43] <rausb0> neopsyche: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/AdHoc <-- old docs, not valid anymore
[16:43] <stinger05> which program is the best for a modem dial-up with a user interface ?
[16:44] <boris_> verb3k: a guy said im getting alot of hw interruptions
[16:44] <boris_> verb3k: i could even play Crysis with my machine
[16:44] <boris_> verb3k: like i said, my CPU wont shut up
[16:44] <neopsyche> thanks
[16:45] <Kalamarencu> crazy_elf, no idea, all the references on the web have no answer... let me look into it
[16:45] <verb3k> boris_, I see.... Some tremulous maps are not optimized, so even if you can play crysis at maxed settings you will get poor FPS. For example, the A.C.T.S map works fine because it's well optimized for the game
[16:45] <rausb0> neopsyche: you must use wlanconfig
[16:45] <boris_> verb3k: its not tremulous' problem
[16:45] <crazy_elf> Kalamarencu, thanks.  I would appreciate that.
[16:46] <boris_> verb3k: its my machine's problem. the map was archnid and ive played it a hundred times before
[16:46] <boris_> verb3k: i installed fglrx and put HD2600Pro in yesterday
[16:46] <boris_> verb3k: though yesterday tremulous was running at 90 FPS
[16:46] <verb3k> boris_, are you sure it has nothing to do with network issues?
[16:47] <stinger05> i need a gui program to connect to the internet using a dial-up modem
[16:47] <stinger05> any suggestions ?
[16:47] <boris_> verb3k: why would my CPU be loud then ?
[16:47] <captainm> crazy_elf, what if you press f5 after clicking on the desktop? Do the icons disappear?
[16:47] <keith> i'm using LostIRC
[16:47] <captainm> crazy_elf, never mind, you said you can hold down shift

[16:47] <rumh> Q: My SSH connection freezes after partial complete output of common functions like: "ls, cat, top, ps" Any idead how I can start to investigate?
[16:47] <DRebellion> keith, never heard of that one, sorry
[16:48] <boris_> verb3k: its driving me nuts
[16:48] <keith> can you suggest a client for me?
[16:48] <DRebellion> rumh, "partial complete output"???????
[16:48] <DRebellion> keith, i use xchat
[16:48] <keith> where do i get that?
[16:48] <rumh> DRebellion: Yeah I saw that after I hit enter.. must be partial output, sorry
[16:48] <captainm> keith, It's in the repos
[16:48] <rausb0> rumh: try lowering the mtu size on the client size. if that helps, some router on the way to the ssh server drops all icmp packets (which is totally braindead)
[16:49] <rausb0> *client side
[16:49] <DRebellion> keith, system -> administration -> synaptic package manager. install the package "xchat".
[16:49] <keith> i'm real new here
[16:49] <keith> what are repos?
[16:49] <keith> this is my first day
[16:49] <neopsyche> wlanconfig: ioctl: Operation not permitted
[16:49] <rumh> rausb0 thanks, I'll try
[16:49] <keith> i finally got the network working
[16:49] <DRebellion> neopsyche, perhaps prefix with sudo?
[16:49] <verb3k> boris_, probably you have to clean your fan? or replace it? does it work without noise in windows or other distros?
[16:49] <captainm> keith, Applications > Add/ Remove and search for xchat
[16:49] <RabidLockerGnome> hey guys, anyone know why the Esperanto language pack isn't working?
[16:49] <aanderse> did anyone who is running hardy beta just upgrade their liferea package?
[16:50] <boris_> verb3k: ill try cleaning it. it worked yesterday
[16:50] <azexian> !repos > keith
[16:50] <captainm> aanderse, #ubuntu+1 is of more help for you
[16:50] <neopsyche> thanks
[16:50] <boris_> verb3k: the card worked in windows, but i had to remove it when using linux because of lack of drivers
[16:50] <neopsyche> DRebellion,thanks
[16:51] <verb3k> boris_, I see
[16:51] <keith> there are 2 here......xchat irc and xchat gnome irc chat
[16:51] <crazy_elf> captainm, correct.  would it be in the nautilus settings?
[16:51] <fbc> Does anyone know if there is anything in linux similiar to battlechess? Where the pieces fight?
[16:51] <boris_> verb3k: ive returned to linux when i hoped there'll be drivers that really support my card
[16:51] <verb3k> ATI always sucked
[16:51] <captainm> crazy_elf, I've been looking around the preferences but can't find anything
[16:51] <boris_> verb3k: i found out they dont, so i was forced to put my old one, radeon 9550 in, till yesterday when i realized the driver finally works
[16:52] <crazy_elf> captainm, could I possibly resolve it by reinstalling gnome?
[16:52] <aanderse> captainm: thanks
[16:52] <boris_> verb3k: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=941
[16:52] <verb3k> boris_, nice, you should enjoy all those fancy compiz tricks now :)
[16:52] <captainm> crazy_elf, that'll probably work. It's a drastic solution though!
[16:52] <boris_> verb3k: my name on there is Boris Kuster, u can see my xorg and lspci and fglrx there
[16:52] <boris_> verb3k: i cant because of this stupid issue
[16:52] <UBUNTUJAY123> when i play online movies in totem the film is chopy some times how can i fix it
[16:53] <rbanffy> Hi folks. I logged in to my desktop and the ~/Desktop folder is a link to a filesystem that was not on-line. The desktop icons started to reflect ~ instead of ~/Desktop contents, even after I fixed and the file system is available. What file should I erase (or change) to make Gnome desktop behave as I expect it to and to reflect ~/Desktop instead of ~?
[16:53] <Tailsfan> UbuntuJay: What type of connection are you running?
[16:53] <boris_> verb3k: i just found out compiz doesnt seem to be getting CPU issues, althrough im having trouble spinning cube and playing a movie
[16:54] <UBUNTUJAY123> i have 1500 download and a 380 up cable internet
[16:54] <verb3k> boris_, don't think you're alone, even Nvidia has many issues but at least better than ATI
[16:54] <boris_> verb3k: aw fck, the movie keeps getting black
[16:54] <Tailsfan> Oh, Well, all I can is use a different player like MPlayer or VLC
[16:54] <verb3k> UBUNTUJAY123, probably the source's connection?
[16:55] <crazy_elf> captainm, true... but I have my theme and most stuff like that backed up, so it shouldn't take too long to get it back up.  I'll just switch to kde or xfce and clean it up.  maybe then it'll act better.  I did install kdm  would that mess with things?
[16:55] <UBUNTUJAY123> MPlayer is totme
[16:55] <UBUNTUJAY123> lmao
[16:56] <verb3k> UBUNTUJAY123, no totem isn't mplayer
[16:56] <UBUNTUJAY123> so how i get MPlayer as default
[16:56] <Kalamarencu> crazy_elf, are you on 7.10 with Gnome 2.20.1? If you boot into xfce, do you have the same problem?
[16:56] <UBUNTUJAY123> uninstall totme
[16:57] <mpay> holaaaaaaaaaaa
[16:57] <soundray> crazy_elf: not normally. What was your original problem?
[16:57] <mpay> holaaaaaaaaaaa
[16:57] <mpay> wyrhg
[16:57] <Muses> Hey everyone bit of a noob question im running a 64bit version of ubuntu gutsy and when i try install mplayer it says i have missing dependencies for example "mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) but it is not installable" plz pm me if you can help it would be much appreciated
[16:57] <tushyd> is there a way I can set Deluge to encrypt my torrent traffic?
[16:57] <Kalamarencu> soundray,  when he tries to drag an icon, it copies it instead of dragging it. He can prevent this by pressing the shift key
[16:57] <crazy_elf> kalamarencu, yes that is what i'm on.  But it happened shortly after I installed ubuntu studio packages to my normal ubuntu install.
[16:58] <Kalamarencu> weird...
[16:58] <seamus7> tushyd: did you look in preferences and enable there?
[16:58] <crazy_elf> captainm, just the icon dragging accross the desktop causes it to copy not move
[16:58] <Kalamarencu> crazy_elf, try that in xfce see if you get the same issue
[16:58] <captainm> crazy_elf, I can't imagine installing kde could be the problem but you could always try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm"
[16:58] <tushyd> seamus7, no where would i do that?
[16:59] <sheep34> i need to run update-initramfs
[16:59] <sheep34> i get

[16:59] <Vorbote> UBUNTUJAY123: you use the Preferred Applications caplet to set mplayer as your default multimedia and use gconf-editor for more advanced editing of your multimedia settings. No warranties that you'll not break your desktop settings if you don't know what you are doing though.
[16:59] <captainm> crazy_elf, I know
[16:59] <iraz> hi everyone
[16:59] <seamus7> tushyd: ummmm .... the preferences icon ... or right click the deluge icon and choose ... preferences
[16:59] <soundray> Thanks Kalamarencu. crazy_elf, I would try to see if this happens with another user
[16:59] <tushyd> seamus7, oh, it's already enabled, but I got a DMCA letter from my ISP???
[16:59] <tushyd> how does that work?
[17:00] <soundray> crazy_elf: if it doesn't, the problem is in your $HOME -- no use to reinstall anything.
[17:00] <seamus7> tushyd:DMCA?
[17:00] <iraz> what is  the  difference between ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04
[17:00] <crazy_elf> kalamarencu, doesn't do that in xfce.
[17:00] <iraz>  ?

[17:00] <Kalamarencu> !hardy @ iraz
[17:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy @ iraz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:00] <crazy_elf> soundray, hum... so would the dpkg reconfigure possibly fix it?
[17:00] <seamus7> tushyd: What's a DMCA letter?
[17:00] <Kalamarencu> iraz: !hardy
[17:00] <tushyd> seamus7, like a letter from my ISP saying that NBC Universal sent a warning to them
[17:01] <soundray> crazy_elf: not if the problem is in your user configuration
[17:01] <neopsyche> DRebellion,ok .. now that i have set up adhoc using the guide..
[17:01] <neopsyche> what next?
[17:01] <DRebellion> neopsyche, i don't know
[17:01] <iraz> ok mon cu
[17:01] <neopsyche> DRebellion, ok
[17:01] <soundray> Muses: it looks like you need to run 'sudo apt-get update' and try again
[17:01] <crazy_elf> soundray, hum... ok  so if it is say my user configuration what would you recommend?  creating a new name moving stuff over?  (not near the pc atm)
[17:01] <Muses> can anyone help?
[17:02] <Muses>  Hey everyone bit of a noob question im running a 64bit version of ubuntu gutsy and when i try install mplayer it says i have missing dependencies for example "mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) but it is not installable" plz pm me if you can help it would be much appreciated
[17:02] <seamus7> tushyd: oh. Other than the encryption I suppose you can go through a proxy ... notice the proxy tab in preferences in Deluge ... I've never done that but you might start by looking in the deluge forums
[17:02] <sheep34> i have a problem running this command http://pastebin.com/m3e53d194
[17:02] <Tailsfan> What speed should I use to burn a DVD ISO of Gutsy?
[17:02] <tushyd> seamus7, ok thanks
[17:02] <Vorbote> Tailsfan: 4x is a good speed.
[17:03] <Tailsfan> OK
[17:03] <sinbox> which would work faster on a P3 where I would only use 2 applications: Xubuntu or Kubuntu?
[17:03] <soundray> crazy_elf: you can reset your gnome configuration by logging into failsafe mode (or KDE) and deleting ~/.gnome, ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gconf
[17:03] <neopsyche> what should i type for keys .. for wep keys?
[17:03] <neopsyche> to set a wep key
[17:03] <Tailsfan> Because the last time I burned a DVD of Gutsy, The MD5s we're messed up
[17:03] <tushyd> sinbox, probably Xubuntu, but how much memory do you have
[17:03] <seamus7> tushyd: and use a blocklist ... that's in the plugin section of deluge
[17:03] <neopsyche>  sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "private77" mode Ad-Hoc Keys:
[17:03] <neopsyche> ???
[17:03] <tushyd> seamus7, ahh, thanks
[17:03] <rbanffy> Hi folks. I logged in to Gnome (Gutsy) while the ~/Desktop folder (really a symlink to another filesystem) was not available. The desktop icons started to reflect the contents of ~ instead of ~/Desktop. The behavior continued even after I fixed the symlink and logged off. What file should I erase (or change) to make Gnome desktop behave as I expect it to and to reflect ~/Desktop instead of ~? BTW, is this the right channel for this?
[17:04] <crazy_elf> soundray, I will try that. Thanks a million. :D
[17:04] <soundray> crazy_elf: note, you'll lose all your personalized settings
[17:04] <aanderse> rbanffy: have you tried looking in gconf-editor?
[17:04] <sinbox> there is 512 in there for now and that I think is a minimum for audacity live recordings tushyd but I could add more,
[17:05] <SuperLag> agile: say what what?
[17:05] <crazy_elf> soundray, yeah but that won't take very long to redo.  5 minutes at max to re set my stuff up.  no biggie
[17:05] <agile> SuperLag, was misdirected tab completion earlier, sorry. :)
[17:05] <Muses> im running a 64bit version of ubuntu gutsy and when i try install mplayer it says i have missing dependencies for example "mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) but it is not installable" plz pm me if you can help it would be much appreciated
[17:06] <SuperLag> agile: just found it. No worries.
[17:06] <rbanffy> aanderse: Yes. Couldn't find the setting for this. Any hints?
[17:06] <aanderse> rbanffy: i can't say for sure, but i really thought i saw that in there once... looking
[17:06] <rbanffy> aanderse: BTW, could you search for "~/Desktop" in the values?
[17:06] <amenado> rbanffy-> why is the Desktop in another filesystem? whats the purpose of doing such?
[17:07] <Lunar_Lamp> I want to download network-manager-gnome and gnome-nettool fro mthe gutsy repositories on a non ubuntu machine.  How do I find the URLs?
[17:07] <SuperSayjin> lol guys i accedently uninstalled netowk manager how do i re-install without a network connectoion?
[17:07] <lubosz> hi
[17:07] <lubosz> how can i start runlevel 3 without starting the x server?
[17:07] <aanderse> Muses: why isn't it installable? is it not available, or it has some other problem?
[17:07] <rbanffy> amenado: more than one version of Ubuntu installed, but I wanted my desktop to be the same. Worked very well for the past like 3 years
[17:08] <aanderse> rbanffy: hmmm no ~/Desktop isn't in there...
[17:08] <DRebellion> SuperSayjin, packages.ubuntu.com
[17:08] <amenado> rbanffy-> after you fixed the symlink or rather mounted the filesystem at boot..works okay now? try to reboot and test
[17:08] <Muses> aanderse i pmed you the result of what i get when i "sudo apt-get install mplayer"
[17:08] <Muses> it happens with other stuff i try install like the ugly set codecs
[17:08] <TehSnarf> I'm having trouble with converting videos to ipod format... I keep getting an error "Unknown codec 'libfaac'", which from as far as I can tell is installed... For the full log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61228/
[17:09] <Muses> same errors.
[17:09] <aanderse> Muses: i never received a pm, are you authed?
[17:09] <Muses> mm not sure
[17:09] <Muses> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
[17:09] <Muses> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[17:09] <Muses> distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
[17:09] <Muses> or been moved out of Incoming.
[17:09] <Muses> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
[17:09] <Muses> the package is simply not installable and a bug report against

[17:09] <cvw> So, my compiz refuses to decorate my windows for me.  I've tried gtk, kwin, and metacity.  My windows still are not decorated.  In ccsm, Window Decorator is selected.  What gives here?
[17:09] <CarlFK> why is postgresql-8.3 install using server_encoding LATIN1?  (I am hoping there is some system wide setting I can set before I install it)
[17:09] <SuperSayjin> can u install it from the cd?
[17:09] <aanderse> Muses: what version of ubuntu are you using? gutsy 64bit? or hardy 64bit? other?
[17:09] <amenado> Lunar_Lamp-> same url as used in sources.list, find which url you used..
[17:10] <Muses> gutsy 64
[17:10] <kitche> CarlFK: because that's what it uses
[17:10] <kitche> CarlFK: why what encoding do you want?
[17:10] <CarlFK> kitche: utf8
[17:10] <Nasra> when I use the past_bin what syntax do I use for it?
[17:10] <rbanffy> aanderse: bkor on #nautilus pointed to the .config/user-dirs.dirs file. Editing it and killing nautilus worked
[17:10] <kitche> CarlFK: look up the postgres documentation and they tell you how to do it
[17:11] <rbanffy> amenado: Nautilus (or something deeper) decided to save the new setting in the .config/user-dirs.dirs
[17:11] <Muses> aanderse-==> gutsy 64
[17:11] <aanderse> rbanffy: ah, awesome glad to hear you got it working :)
[17:11] <CarlFK> kitche: kinda.  i have to remove part of the current install, and when I tried that I think I removed too much.  I would hope I could define it as part of the install
[17:11] <aanderse> Muses: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libartsc0
[17:12] <neopsyche> Laptop still doesnt see other wireless card.
[17:12] <aanderse> Muses: that is an option (install it manually from the web)
[17:12] <aanderse> but
[17:12] <aanderse> instead
[17:12] <Muses> yeah
[17:12] <Muses> k
[17:13] <Muses> Aanderse = will try that
[17:13] <seamus7> Muses: have you looked for a 64 bit version of mplayer in various repositories?
[17:13] <rbanffy> aanderse: Thanks
[17:13] <rbanffy> amenado: Thanks
[17:13] <aanderse> i would type something like "sudo apt-get -f install"
[17:13] <neopsyche> rausb0, i seem to have it configured now but the laptop doesnt see the connection?
[17:13] <amenado> rbanffy-> you're welcome
[17:13] <aanderse> Muses: maybe you have some weird stuff going with your apt, that would clean it out (re sudo apt-get -f install
[17:13]  * renski pokes bruno_
[17:13] <agile> .join #ubuntu-server
[17:13] <agile> bah
[17:14] <rausb0> neopsyche: do you actually know what ad-hoc mode is?
[17:14] <styrman> I have an graphic issue in 3d games; atleast quake3, yesterday everything worked fine I run fglrx, Xgl now I get this: http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot0000nq6.jpg ... and no clue what caused it, i know the only last applications i installed was win32codecs and totem-xine
[17:14] <pen> why is murrine theme so slow on my ubuntu?
[17:14] <neopsyche> rausb0,computer to computer?
[17:14] <styrman> and my boot time got delayed too, by like 30 seconds or so, realy strange
[17:14] <rausb0> neopsyche: yes, wireless connection without need for an AP
[17:15] <neopsyche> rausb0,could you help me with this.?
[17:15] <rausb0> neopsyche: both cards must support ad-hoc mode and must be set manually to the same essid and channel
[17:15] <neopsyche> rausb0,it seems desktop can see the laptop..
[17:15] <neopsyche> rausb0,but not other way around
[17:15] <neopsyche> rausb0,ok.. how do i set it?
[17:15] <master_alvaro> hello
[17:15] <neopsyche> rausb0,oh .. same
[17:15] <Muses> Aanderse => that didnt work... still gives back the same error... broken packages.
[17:16] <jacobian_> best dvd authoring software?  I want to be able to a) convert files to dv with the frontend, and at least create the file-system if not burn.
[17:16] <amenado> rbanffy-> after looking at that file, i dont think your issue is resolved til the other filesystem is mounted
[17:16] <aanderse> Muses: which didn't work; installing from website, or sudo apt-get -f install ?
[17:16] <master_alvaro> why canonical discontinue support for UltraSPARC procesors? http://www.techit.pl/Aktualnosci/View.aspx?983.ubuntu+bez+sun+ultrasparc
[17:16] <iraz> i need to prepare ubuntu certification lpi
[17:16] <iraz> which version of ubuntu i have to pratice ?
[17:16] <Muses> website.
[17:17] <Muses> liek
[17:17] <rbanffy> amenado: The file system is mounted on boot. A glitch prevented it from being mounted last time. Sometimes I wonder if the uuid mechanism is really a step forward.
[17:17] <aanderse> Muses: try the "sudo apt-get -f install" command in a terminal
[17:17] <Muses> aanderse - the package installed but when i tried apt-getting mplayer again it gave the same result.
[17:17] <Muses> the deb file you linked me installed without a problem.
[17:17] <aanderse> oh
[17:17] <bigjohnto> What would be the best image to mirror a drive onto another server?  its a 400GB drive so DD is out of the question, any other method that uses open source?
[17:18] <DRebellion> bigjohnto, why is dd out of the question?
[17:18] <Lamego> biggahed, why is DD out of the question ?
[17:18] <bigjohnto> try using dd to image a 400gb drive, its darn slow
[17:18] <rbanffy> bigjohnto: dd | bzip2 ?
[17:18] <iraz> which version of ubuntu i have to pratice ?
[17:18] <amenado> rbanffy-> i agree, i do not like the use of uuid in the fstab, makes mine faults, somehow it does not find the swap with the correct uuid, so i dont get a swap
[17:18] <Lamego> biggahed, dd is just as fast as it can be, it does raw reading/writing
[17:18] <unop> bigjohnto, why would you rule out dd?
[17:18] <aanderse> Muses: definitely just try a "sudo apt-get -f install" and then a "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[17:18] <iraz> for lpi
[17:19] <bigjohnto> again because its slow, i was wondering if there was some sort of way to dump just the data and partition info so that it could be a lot quicker then doing byte by byte copy
[17:19] <neopsyche> rausb0, it seems they are connected now.. i have two bars on gnome
[17:19] <rausb0> neopsyche: i don't care about bars.. i don't use gui tools for wireless
[17:19] <rbanffy> amenado: BTW, I was running without a swap. Thanks. That too courtesy of uuid changes
[17:19] <Lamego> bigjohnto, you just need to set dd options for whatever size you need, you will not get anything faster than dd, since it does raw I/O
[17:19] <Muses> k
[17:20] <unop> bigjohnto, Lamego already said dd is as fast as it gets -- all imaging progras do the same thing
[17:20] <astro76> bigjohnto: partimage, it doesn't copy free space
[17:20] <rbanffy> amenado: What was so wrong with /dev/sda4 anyway?
[17:20] <astro76> bigjohnto: check out SystemRescueCD which includes it
[17:20] <bigjohnto> astro76 thanks i will check that out
[17:20] <amenado> rbanffy-> ahh i thought i was the only one..i dont know whose bright idea was it to use uuid..its a step back in my opinion
[17:21] <rbanffy> I can remember /dev/sda4 much better than 6f31e46e-4b50-4726-aee7-1da77af63a10
[17:21] <Muses> aanderse -> didnt work :-(
[17:21] <master_alvaro> rbanffy: badblocks -sv /dev/sda4
[17:21] <rbanffy> master_alvaro: ?!
[17:21] <johann_> im in trouble with swap partitions...i changed the position of my swap partition. it was on sda1, now its sda5. i also changed it in /etc/fstab but on boot kinit says http://phpfi.com/305669 and then it doesnt continue to boot
[17:22] <aanderse> Muses: hmmm... i'm not sure what the problem is, you should probably post in ubuntuforums.org i guess :\ sorry
[17:22] <amenado> rbanffy-> i dont know what is wrong with /dev/sda4 on yours
[17:22] <astro76> rbanffy: fyi you can still use /dev entries in fstab
[17:22] <iraz> hello
[17:22] <master_alvaro> sry, my mistake, another canal ;p
[17:22] <master_alvaro> rbanffy: ^^
[17:22] <iraz> i need to prepare ubuntu certification lpi what version of ubuntu i have to train ?
[17:22] <neopsyche> how do i check my lan settings agian?
[17:23] <Muses> mm its all good aanderse thanks for your time i think its has something to do with running a 64bit system... coz my 32bit system didnt have a problem.
[17:23] <neopsyche> rausb0,i was just letting you know incase you knew what was going on.
[17:23] <rbanffy> astro76: Still, I have to undo whatever the installed did every time it does it. Installer should default to preserve uuids on format, specially on non-removable devices.
[17:23] <master_alvaro> iraz: ubuntu, ev, ubuntu server; LTS and newest versions\
[17:24] <amenado> neopsyche-> create a cheat sheet for future reference
[17:24] <SuperSayjin> ok ive reinstalled the network manager program now how do i open it again lol
[17:24] <iraz> ev ?
[17:24] <johann_> im in trouble with swap partitions...i changed the position of my swap partition. it was on sda1, now its sda5. i also changed it in /etc/fstab but on boot kinit says http://phpfi.com/305669
[17:24] <johann_> [18:16] <johann> and then it doenst continue to boot
[17:24] <fophillips> Is GCC for ARM in Gutsy repositories?
[17:26] <seamus7> SuperSayjin: have you tried ALT-F2 and nm-applet and/or network-admin
[17:27] <neopsyche> Good idea amenado.
[17:27] <amenado> johann_-> are you sure your /dev/sda5 is a swap type of partition?
[17:27] <neopsyche> but that wasnt the question.
[17:27] <neopsyche> cheers.
[17:28] <SuperSayjin> OMG
[17:28] <kditty_> i just set up a samba newtwork, when i try to connect from my xp machine it asks for a password, which would i use? my ubuntu pass or my router pass
[17:28] <SuperSayjin> THX SOO MUCH THAT WORKED I NOW HAVE WIRELESSS (JUMPS FOR JOY)

[17:29] <kditty_> ok let me  try again
[17:29] <iLogik> PredaGR: if nothings crashes, probably worked :)
[17:30] <unop_> kditty_, you might need to setup a samba user for your system account
[17:30] <kditty_> iLogik, it just prompts me again to enter, and adds kdubuntu/kd
[17:30] <PredaGR> iLogik: thanks, will keep this in mind, will come if things start crashing

[17:40] <soundray> saurabh: ask in #ubuntu+1
[17:42] <seamus7> saurabh: it's recommended not to install hardy on production machines ... meaning there are still bugs .. beware of problems
[17:42] <soundray> _DjScrew_: can you see the partition with sudo fdisk -l ?
[17:42] <neopsyche> can someone help me configure / test my network?
[17:43] <neopsyche> It is connected but not sure how to 'ping' each PC

[17:45] <Dazgard> hi
[17:45] <TehSnarf> I do... I can type the whole thing except the last letter, it still won't auto complete at all
[17:45] <neopsyche> My laptop sees the wireless network.. but not sure how to make it connect. Anyone help?
[17:45] <praveenr> when i run a java program it says port in use .... how do i clear the port ? i cant use another port
[17:45] <unop> eth01, i dont think anyone can even get to that page :)
[17:45] <Pythus> I am using 7.10
[17:45] <Dazgard> how to install python OptionParser class on ubuntu please ?
[17:45] <Pici> terminal: Do you have rights to the share? did you set up a smbpasswd for your user?
[17:46] <_DjScrew_> aha!
[17:46] <_DjScrew_> there are 3 partitions on that disk
[17:46] <terminal> pici :ya
[17:46] <_DjScrew_> so I need something mount -t sun /dev/sdd1 /root/test
[17:47] <Pici> terminal: Can you mount it manually? sudo mount -t smbfs //server/share /path/to/mountpoint/ -o username=youruser      ?
[17:47] <_DjScrew_> soundray: that didn't work either
[17:47] <neopsyche> how can i share my files now?
[17:47] <soundray> _DjScrew_: try just 'mount /dev/sdd1 /root/test'
[17:47] <orgthingy> hi, i wanted to listen to some mp3 music, but
[17:47] <adinc> when i klick to network manager icon in the top pannel i only get manual configuration, can some help me fixing this to his normal state so it allows me selecting wirless etc
[17:47] <orgthingy> XMMS says that:
[17:48] <quaal> whats the command to list users logged in
[17:48] <orgthingy> my soundcard isnt configured properly
[17:48] <orgthingy> what should i do?
[17:48] <Pici> quaal: w
[17:48] <_DjScrew_> tells me that I must specify a file system
[17:48] <unop> quaal, who
[17:48] <orgthingy> it's the 1st time I've experienced this problem
[17:48] <orgthingy> Couldn't open audio.
[17:48] <orgthingy> Please check that:
[17:48] <quaal> Pici, unop, does that include people accessing sambashares?
[17:48] <orgthingy> 1. You have the correct output plugin selected.
[17:48] <orgthingy> 2. No other programs is blocking the soundcard.
[17:48] <orgthingy> 3. Your soundcard is configured properly.
[17:48] <FloodBot1> orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:48] <orgthingy> ah, sorry
[17:49] <Pici> quaal: I'm actually not sure
[17:49] <unop> quaal, no, it only lists people logged in at terminals
[17:49] <soundray> _DjScrew_: okay, so now you need to find out exactly what filesystem type it is and whether ubuntu supports it.
[17:49] <Pici> quaal: Probably not though.
[17:49] <quaal> hmm
[17:49] <quaal> is ther ea way to list samba users?
[17:49] <quaal> active ones
[17:49] <TehSnarf> I did just recently transfer my /var/lib directory to an LVM mount... but now I'm not sure what I need to do in order for it to autocomplete like it used to
[17:49] <praveenr> when i run a java program it says port in use .... how do i clear the port ? i cant use another port
[17:49] <Jadd76> update-grub is not finding the splash.xpm.gz in /boot/grub
[17:49] <Pici> quaal: smbstatus
[17:49] <Jadd76> Is update-grub supposed to do this?
[17:49] <_DjScrew_> I've got 3 that say SunOS and one that says whole disk
[17:50] <soundray> _DjScrew_: try with -t ufs
[17:50] <quaal> Pici, ah cool
[17:50] <quaal> thanks
[17:50] <soundray> _DjScrew_: and use my nick please so I don't miss your replies
[17:50] <_DjScrew_> soundray: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd3,
[17:50] <_DjScrew_>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[17:50] <_DjScrew_>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[17:50] <_DjScrew_>        dmesg | tail  or so
[17:51] <unop> _DjScrew_, what does this command return?  file -is /dev/sdd3
[17:51] <_DjScrew_> soundray: /dev/sdd3: application/x-not-regular-file
[17:52] <Jadd76> Why doesn't update-grub find /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
[17:52] <unop> _DjScrew_, actually, sudo file -i /dev/sdd3
[17:53] <neopsyche> how can i set ip address for my other machine to connect?
[17:53] <_DjScrew_> soundray:  I was root when I ran it :)
[17:53] <johannix> I'm real stuck with sound problems (no sound from my card after gutsy upgrade). I've already tried trouble shooting (turned off system sound, tried building alsa...). At this point I've got four versions my sound card so what I want to do is clear everything.
[17:53]  * unop is not soundray
[17:53] <johannix> Anyone know how to clear the information, so I can have a new go at it
[17:53] <johannix> without reinstalling the OS
[17:54] <unop> _DjScrew_, omit the -i flag, should work ok -- sudo file -s /dev/sdb1
[17:54]  * soundray agrees and concludes that soundray is not unop
[17:54] <unop> _DjScrew_, use /dev/sdd3 instead :)
[17:54] <unop> sorry
[17:55] <unop> neopsyche, ifconfig should list the ipaddresses in use
[17:55] <_DjScrew_> unop: that shows UFS
[17:55] <_DjScrew_> odd

[18:01] <Lenny1729> Hi there! Does anyone know a tool to compare to pdf files? I'm looking for a diff like tool, shows differences in two pdf files
[18:02] <barretj> hello, not sure if this is the right channel to ask this but....
[18:02] <barretj> i'm trying to run Diablo II under wine on Ubuntu 7.10...
[18:02] <soundray> newbie_: it's Unicode
[18:02] <Toznoshio> Lenny1729: I would export both PDF files in .txt and compare them that way
[18:02] <unop> Lenny1729, errm, i would convert both files to text and then use diff on them -- because pdfs can be so structurally different yet contain the same text
[18:02] <barretj> and it works except the graphics seem to be interlaces
[18:02] <johannix> Lenny1729: dont know anything specifically, but you could always copy out the text and then diff. one issue u might run into is that there's different types of PDFs...text and images
[18:02] <Pici> barretj: try asking in #winehq :/
[18:03] <newbie_> soundray, Pici, ok, thanks
[18:03] <barretj> Pici, ok, thanks
[18:03] <barretj> i do have a non-wine related question though....
[18:03] <soundray> Pici: wow, gucharmap :)
[18:03] <barretj> i can get the graphics working if i do this: xrandr -s 7 -r 59
[18:03] <Almindor> hello
[18:04] <Lenny1729> Johannix, Toznoshio, unop, thanks... too bad that there is no real tool
[18:04] <Almindor> any idea how to fix the evolution 2gb inbox problem?
[18:04] <Almindor> it's rather pathetic if you ask me..
[18:04] <barretj> and my question is this, what do i have to put in my xorg.conf so that i dont have to run that command every time?
[18:04] <barretj> i think i basically need a modeline equivalent of "xrandr -s 7 -r 59"
[18:05] <barretj> i tried doing: gtf 640 480 59
[18:05] <barretj> and then put the output of that into my xorg.conf, but it didnt work
[18:05] <unop> Lenny1729, there might be a util or two in the pdftk that could help but as i said before, comparing pdfs is not easy
[18:06] <Kalamarencu> !tutorial
[18:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tutorial - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:06] <newbie_> does anybody knows the unicode for spanish n' like in pin'ata or man'ana?

[18:07] <reloop> hi, anyone experienced in root encryption? i use ubuntu 7.10 x86_64 and have some trouble getting it to work :( if i install ubuntu my harddrives are recognized as sda,sdb,sdc & sdc. i install on sda, after reboot sda is sdc. i do the neccessary steps to encrypt my disk and try to reboot. now i get the message that /dev/sdc3 could not be found.. any hints?
[18:07] <soundray> newbie_: try 00F1
[18:07] <neopsyche> anyone help with connect with XP to ubuntu?
[18:08] <ethan961> !smb
[18:08] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[18:08] <Lenny1729> unop, my use case here is that I'm checking new versions of an pdf document to older ones to see what has changed. In order to do this it would be cool to have a tool that takes two pdf files, diff and generates a new file indicating, deleted text with red, new text green, yellow modified or sth. like that. I wonder why no one ever needed this before...
[18:08] <Lenny1729> unop, I'll take a long at pdftk, thank you!
[18:08] <Pici> !gq | neopsyche
[18:08] <ubotu> neopsyche: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question.
[18:09] <newbie_> soundray, Pici, eth01, thank you
[18:09] <unop> Kate_mins, if all you want to do is send mail, then postfix is probably overkill - are you trying to setup a mail server?
[18:10] <unop> Pici, neopsyche's trying to setup an ad-hoc network
[18:10] <archman> guys, i have problem with remastersys; when i run iso it says: Server Authorization Directory is set to /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration and restart GDM.
[18:10] <iraz> hi
[18:10] <neopsyche> Thanks Pici
[18:10] <soundray> Kate_mins: you wouldn't normally use postfix for that. Use mail or mutt to send email from the command line
[18:10] <archman> but my /var/lib/gdm exists !
[18:10] <iraz> i want to prepare ubuntu certification
[18:10] <iraz> i need some ifo
[18:10] <iraz> have many exam have to pass
[18:10] <neopsyche> I am trying to get windows talking to ubuntu for internet connection sharing and file sharing.. the two pcs already "see" eachother but not sure how to get them talking.. am using AD-HOC
[18:10] <neopsyche> pici, see above
[18:11] <unop> iraz, you need LPI 1 and 2 under your belt first
[18:11] <iraz> is there any certification after or not ?
[18:11] <stinger05> hello there, what are the packages required for the kde libraries ??
[18:11] <iraz> ok
[18:11] <unop> iraz, you could take the more advanced lpi exams afterwards i suppose
[18:11] <mrpockets> hey
[18:12] <mrpockets> so i just installed the newest firefox update from the update manager
[18:12] <mrpockets> and now it won't close.
[18:12] <mrpockets> i did killall firefox
[18:12] <iraz> unop: to have lpi1 certification how many exam have to pass ?
[18:12] <mrpockets> and that killed the process
[18:12] <mrpockets> but the windows still up:(
[18:12] <iraz> yeah sur
[18:12] <rexy_> mrpockets, killall firefox-bin
[18:12] <iraz> unop: to have lpi1 certification how many exam have to pass ?
[18:12] <soundray> mrpockets: try 'killall -9 firefox-bin'
[18:12] <mrpockets> thanks rexy_
[18:12] <LinuxMercedes> ok, anyone know the command to stop tune2fs from checking the filesystem at launch?
[18:12] <johannix> just posted this on the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4598275#post4598275 was wondering if someone could take a look, see if they have any advice. sound troubles...
[18:12] <mrpockets> god you guys are heros
[18:13] <soundray> LinuxMercedes: man tune2fs will tell you
[18:13] <Pici> neopsyche: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=389136#3
[18:13] <neopsyche> where should i start reading to have a simple explanation / solution to test linux / windows connection over ad-hoc .. (to ping etc.)
[18:13] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, that's not really a good idea
[18:13] <LinuxMercedes> soundray: ok, let me check =]
[18:13] <archman> why my /var/lib/gdm is not readable? Why i dont have permissions?
[18:13] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: well, it's a pain to wait like 2 hours to launch Linux
[18:13] <stinger05> please can someone help me ?
[18:13] <pike__> neopsyche: i think the wiki entry for wireless has a section on ad-hoc connections
[18:13] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, checking a non-journal partition?
[18:13] <Pici> stinger05: Whats the question?
[18:13] <iraz> hello
[18:13] <soundray> LinuxMercedes: fsck doesn't normally take 2 hours. Do you have ext2 systems?
[18:14] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: kjournald
[18:14] <pike__> neopsyche: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[18:14] <Pici> neopsyche: The forum page I linked to looks like exactly what you need.
[18:14] <stinger05> what are the packages required for the kde libraries ??
[18:14] <neopsyche> It seems that the connection is connected
[18:14] <stinger05> in ubuntu of course
[18:14] <LinuxMercedes> soundray: not sure, let me check
[18:14] <neopsyche> just not sure how to get the machine to share internet
[18:14] <soundray> stinger05: can you rephrase that question? What are you trying to do?
[18:15]  * ronandi hi
[18:15] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, i meant the filesystem, ext2 has no journaling, which is why everyone uses ext3
[18:15] <rexy_> for precisely your problem
[18:15] <stinger05> np
[18:15] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: not sure, it's an andlinux install
[18:15] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, type mount
[18:15] <stinger05> i want to backup all the kde libraries for installing them later on manually
[18:15] <rexy_> and pastebin
[18:15] <stinger05> i just want to know what they are
[18:15] <idefix> how do you permanize a reinstall of cupsys?
[18:15] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: kk
[18:16] <stinger05> the name of the packages for kde library
[18:16] <Pici> stinger05: dpkg --get-selections   will list all the packages installed.
[18:16] <soundray> stinger05: there are various packages that provide different KDE libraries
[18:16] <archman> soundray: can i change permissions for /var/lib/gdm ? Will something be affected?
[18:16] <keit1> hi i ahve an external drive (ext3) and everytime I create a new account then the files become locked (most files created using a livecd).  the owner is "999" apparently.  how can I set the permission for the drive so that they it is available to all users
[18:16] <stinger05> oh ok
[18:16] <keit1> i need to chown and chmod but to what???
[18:17] <Pici> stinger05: There isnt a 'list of kde libraries'
[18:17] <stinger05> would the phrase : " just the basic ones to run most programs" do ?
[18:17] <rexy_> keit1, to the owner that wants to access the file
[18:17] <keit1> rexy_: I want ALL to access and write
[18:17] <keit1> what is 999?
[18:17] <keit1> whoi is 999
[18:17] <soundray> stinger05: if you are on Ubuntu, just install the program you need via apt, and it will pull in the required library packages automatically
[18:17] <neopsyche> would anyone be able to remotely help me via remote desktop to configure wlan
[18:17] <rexy_> keit1, the userid the file was stored on
[18:17] <neopsyche> ?
[18:17] <unop> iraz, iirc, there are two exams for both
[18:17] <Toznoshio> This has been a pet peeve of mine when I got started with Ubuntu, if you wanted to do something crazy (something that's a no-no but is possible technically) like auto-login as root or stop tune2fs from checking the filesystem at startup, nobody would help you ... go figure
[18:18] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: http://pastebin.ca/959796
[18:18] <stinger05> soundray: i know that dude, i just want them to install them manually
[18:18] <rexy_> Toznoshio, i could tell him how, but it's not his real problem
[18:18] <zxguitar> hey, greetings, i need some help with my sound, these are all the output of the configuration files, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61229/
[18:18] <keit1> rexy_: well its a portable drive so I want to set the permissions so I can use it as such and take it to any linux px and it _just_work_
[18:18] <keit1> rexy_: do you know how?
[18:18] <soundray> stinger05: do not assume that it is okay to address just anyone as 'dude'
[18:19] <iraz> unop: is there any tutorial to prepare the exam ?
[18:19] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, what kind of hard disk do you have?
[18:19] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: it's a disk image
[18:19] <stinger05> soundray: well i meant it in a nice way :D
[18:19] <unop> iraz, i'm not sure of free ones -- but have a look on !google
[18:19] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: andlinux lets you load a linux kernel in windows via colinux, so everythings in a disk image or two
[18:20] <fuhreal> Anyone know how to get gnome to launch irssi in eterm... I'm using the same command i did in kde
[18:20] <fuhreal> Eterm --borderless --shade 70 --scrollbar=false --buttonbar=false --geometry=140x50+550+0 irssi
[18:20] <rexy_> ah
[18:20] <fuhreal> but it doesn't work
[18:20] <unop> fuhreal, eterm -e irssi
[18:20] <soundray> Toznoshio: Ubuntu is fairly prescriptive in some ways. Not helping people stepping out of line saves support  work in the long run. There's always Linux from Scratch for those more experimental purposes :)
[18:20] <soundray> stinger05: I know, I'm just saying.
[18:20] <iraz> unop: do u have that certification ?
[18:20] <LoCoYo> Sup everyone
[18:20] <fuhreal> unop: thanks thats what i was missing
[18:20] <unop> iraz, i don't no, but maybe someday i hope to have it
[18:20] <stinger05> so am i.. :)
[18:21] <stinger05> anyway, is there some list for the kde libraires for ubuntu gutsy ?
[18:21] <fuhreal> Next question .. is there not a hotkey functoin like ALT+Right click in Gnome to resize windows?
[18:21] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, well it's mounted as ext3, so i think it cant be an ext2, but it's still weird it takes so long to check
[18:21] <warrend> hello
[18:21] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: there were, I think, directions to disable tune2fs checking or something online, but I can't remember
[18:22] <zxguitar> hey, greetings, i need some help with my sound, i have a laptop Asus F3 series, these are all the outputs of the configuration files, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61229/
[18:22] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, man tune2fs
[18:22] <keit1> !fstab
[18:22] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[18:22] <rexy_> with -c 0 you can turn it off permanently
[18:22] <iraz> do u suggest any book to prepare that exam ?
[18:22] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: ok, I'll do that, unless you've got a different idea for me, as I don't want to break stuff =]
[18:23] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, It will destroy the disk at some point
[18:23] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, so it's probably not a good idea
[18:23] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: what will?
[18:23] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, using tunefs to disable checking the filesystem altogether
[18:23] <iraz> do u suggest any book to prepare that exam ? unop
[18:23] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: ok, any other solutions?
[18:23] <soundray> LinuxMercedes: -c 0 will only disable routine checking. Uncleanly umounted filesystems will always be checked.
[18:24] <fiXXXerMet> What are the differences between the -generic and -server kernels?
[18:24] <rexy_> LinuxMercedes, well i have no experience with loading linux the way you do, it probably runs virtualized and using a virtual disk on an image on a filesystem on  a real disk, i imagine that doesnt help
[18:24] <unop> iraz, oreilly's LPI in a nutshell, and the coriolis LPI exam cram -- but those are only for the exam, you need to have quite some experience beforehand, and that's best done by reading other books, manpages, documentation, working with linux, etc
[18:25] <LinuxMercedes> rexy_: ok
[18:25] <rexy_> soundray, i didnt know that
[18:25] <amenado> neopsyche-> what kind of chip does your wifi nic have again?

[18:26] <neopsyche> amenado, let me check
[18:27] <k386> g
[18:27] <pike__> pete: i dont know if there is a fsck.ntfs in the repos ive never seen any such tool
[18:27] <archman> guys i don't get it why suddenly my remastersys wont work like before. What may be a problem?
[18:27] <soundray> pete: you can backup, delete and restore, which will defrag the filesystem. Any operating system installed on that partition won't take kindly to that, though.
[18:28] <soundray> pike__: and fsck doesn't defragment anyway
[18:28] <archman> can i reinstall application?
[18:28] <whoop> http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsdefrag
[18:28] <soundray> archman: 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename'
[18:29] <pete> thanks woop
[18:29] <archman> soundray: is your /var/lib/gdm on root permissions; its unreadable to me...
[18:29] <archman> and i think remastersys wont work properly
[18:30] <strawman> anyone else having problems with the linux flash player not working on myspace?
[18:30] <amenado> archman-> what does it mean wont work properly? what errors are you getting? indications?
[18:30] <whoop> pete: never checked of it works
[18:30] <neopsyche> amenado, it doesnt seem to be pinging.. but it seems to think it is connected (both sides)
[18:31] <archman> amenado: once i burn live dvd and try to run it it says /var/lib/gdm does not exist
[18:31] <whoop> strawman: I always have problems with flash on linux... mostly on youtube and myspace
[18:31] <strawman> any workaround yet
[18:31] <amenado> neopsyche-> what indications do you use to tell you it is connected?
[18:31] <archman> amenado: correct GDM conf and restart GDM
[18:31] <whoop> I am running hardy now, and I have allot less problems
[18:32] <strawman> Is that available for ppc?
[18:32] <amenado> archman-> you know you dont have to burn a cd or dvd to run like the liveCD iso or alternatecd iso
[18:32] <Pici> !ppc | strawman
[18:32] <ubotu> strawman: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[18:32] <neopsyche> it shows up on windows wireless connections
[18:32] <neopsyche> amenado,see above
[18:33] <archman> amenado: but if live runs properly it indicates that everything is okay. no?
[18:33] <amenado> neopsyche-> you have one side windows? and the other is ubuntu?
[18:33] <strawman> Yeah, I love my ibook g4
[18:33] <archman> amenado: i dont get it...it work a week ago...
[18:33] <amenado> archman-> so your live runs okay? how did you test that?
[18:33] <pete> About ntfsdefrag
[18:33] <pete> ntfsdefrag does not yet exist.
[18:33] <pete> ah well whoop
[18:34] <whoop> pete: that sucks
[18:34] <archman> amenado: no; it stops after the logo has been 'filled up'.
[18:34] <archman> amenado: it says:  Server Authorization directory is set to /var/lib/gdm but this doesnt exist.
[18:34] <amenado> archman-> i dont follow you, if live runs properly?  how did you test this?
