[06:24] <ohletmeinnowgodd> using the partition tool
[06:24] <mathijs> kingfishr: ah found one other.... googleearth is 32 too, but it doesn't have the compatibility problems that are introduced by using a 32 bit plugin inside a 64bit app
[06:24] <Omar87> When I tried playing an .rm video using VLC, it gave me this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77312/
[06:24] <ohletmeinnowgodd> anyone here knows how to add a list of trackers into a running torrent?
[06:24] <ohletmeinnowgodd> into transmission that is
[06:25] <tech0007> Omar87: you're playing over the internet?
[06:26] <ohletmeinnowgodd> How do  I add a list of new trackers into a running torrent in transmission? Anyone?
[06:26] <Omar87> tech0007: I don't thing so. I've downloaded it to my computer.
[06:26] <relisys> hi
[06:26] <mathijs> ohletmeinnowgodd: just use azureus :)
[06:26] <xingjiu> my english  is so poor that I can't understand your meanings
[06:27] <relisys> is there an alternitive in gnome to Nautilus explorer?
[06:27] <jeeves_Moss> anyone?  Nessus plugin download
[06:27] <ohletmeinnowgodd> mathijs is azureus as much of a memory hog in nix world as it is in wondows?
[06:27] <Khisanth> Omar87: that looks like you downloaded a file that points to the actual file :)
[06:27] <Khisanth> Omar87: what is the size of the file you downloaded?
[06:27] <TurboBee> mathijs, azureus is HORRIBLE
[06:27] <TurboBee> :D
[06:27] <relisys> is there an alternitive in gnome to Nautilus explorer?   anyone?
[06:27] <ohletmeinnowgodd> mathijs: is azureus as much of a memory hog in nix world as it is in wondows?
[06:28] <TurboBee> ohletmeinnowgodd, use rtorrent or ktorrent... preferrably rtorrent
[06:28] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ok that answered my question :)
[06:28] <mathijs> ohletmeinnowgodd: a bit more, it doesn't leak or anything, just uses a bit more, but my 8gb mem won't mind... it's at least full-featured
[06:28] <BusterHymen> ohletmegonowgodd:  yes
[06:28] <Omar87> Khisanth: Oh my God, it's only 341 bytes!
[06:28] <TurboBee> but if you can't stand cli use ktorrent
[06:28] <BusterHymen> ohletmeinnowgodd:yes
[06:28] <fonzarelli> relisys: you could install something else, like pcmanfm or thunar
[06:29] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ok well for now though i already have a torrent running, and i wanna complete it before i go client splunking, can i add a list at once?
[06:29] <relisys> are they any good?
[06:29] <we1> hey guyz..can anyone help how can i install the gnomenu that i downloaded?
[06:29] <fonzarelli> relisys: they are fast, all depends on what you want to acomplish
[06:29] <mathijs> TurboBee: If I compare downloading speed in rtorrent / azureus, it seems azureus completes everything way faster.
[06:29] <maxxist_> hey folks I am looking for ways to lighten a default xubuntu install as much as possible.  I have already removed programs in the apps menu i will not use.  I would like to also stop stop services i dont need.  also any hiden files anywhere i might be able to ditch to save some space would be awesome....
[06:30] <Driv3r912> Anyone here know where I can obtain the "Volume Monitor" application. Can I download it through apt-get or what? I haven't been able to find a solution.
[06:31] <TurboBee> mathijs, I've had nothing but slow downloads and problems with azureus... rtorrent was always ridiculously fast. I would literally cap out a 100mbit line with rtorrent if there was enough bandwidth needed or available
[06:32] <TurboBee> mathijs, but if azureus works good for you stick with what works :)
[06:32] <n8tuser> maxxist -> you should have used debootstrap method to install, you just then add packages you needed
[06:32] <tech0007> TurboBee: try deluge
[06:32] <ohletmeinnowgodd> will utorrent be ported to nix?
[06:32] <TurboBee> I've never heard of deluge I'll give it a try
[06:32] <TurboBee> is it gui or cli?
[06:32] <Velqz> I need help creating a script to delete a file and then you can recover again
[06:32] <tech0007> TurboBee: gui...kinda like utorrent
[06:33] <TurboBee> is it better than ktorrent?
[06:33] <TurboBee> in your opinion?
[06:33] <tech0007> TurboBee: i find deluge lighter (no java) and faster i use it all the time
[06:33] <TurboBee> it looks pretty nifty
[06:34] <TurboBee> I'll have to give that a try sometime over this long weekend
[06:34] <mathijs> TurboBee: well, I would like to switch, since I hate java. But like I said, I tried many clients but none of them had all features I wanted (dht, encryption), or they would just download stuff slower.
[06:34] <ohletmeinnowgodd> anyways, so i cant manually add a tracker list to running transmission torrents?
[06:34] <tech0007> TurboBee: i stick to gnome, so no i havent tried ktorrent
[06:34] <TurboBee> mathijs, have you tried deluge?
[06:34] <TurboBee> oh I installed ktorrent on a gnome desktop XD
[06:34] <TurboBee> I guess that was against the rules ;)
[06:35] <tech0007> TurboBee: nope, you're free to customize whatever you like it
[06:35] <TurboBee> heh
[06:35] <kernando> i ahve 8.04 installed on my computer how do i know if i should install 8.10?
[06:35] <TurboBee> oh neat, deluge has a web ui too?
[06:35] <PsiKloPx> how do i uninstall/remove flash?  Firefox says version 9 but Adobe says version 10.
[06:35] <tech0007> TurboBee: yup, thru plugins
[06:35] <TurboBee> nice
[06:35] <TurboBee> I'm DEFINITELY gonna give tha try
[06:35] <PsiKloPx> try to upgrade and it says later version installed.
[06:35] <mathijs> TurboBee: nope, never heard of, I'll have a look, although it's gtk/glade, and I prefer KDE.
[06:35] <TurboBee> there was another client that had a web interface but the torrent downloads were super slow
[06:36] <TurboBee> it was called transission I think
[06:36] <TurboBee> transmission
[06:36] <ohletmeinnowgodd> anyways, so i cant manually add a tracker list to running transmission torrents?
[06:36] <TurboBee> yeah transmissionbt
[06:36] <TurboBee> I really liked it for it's web interface :/
[06:36] <tech0007> PsiKloPx: try reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree
[06:36] <mathijs> TurboBee: also, being written in python won't be an advantage for a torrent client I think, might be resource hungry
[06:36] <mabus> TurboBee: honestly, my favorite linux torrent client with a gui is utorrent + wine
[06:37] <ohletmeinnowgodd> yeah but thats not a nix client
[06:37] <ohletmeinnowgodd> turbo
[06:37] <TurboBee> mabus I have emotional problems with that
[06:37] <TurboBee> haha
[06:37] <nintendork32> what version of gnome does ubuntu intrepid ibex use?
[06:37] <TurboBee> I run utorrent on my vista computers, but anything linux needs native stuff imo
[06:37] <ohletmeinnowgodd> thats emulation... do the dev's of utorrent not wanna work on nix?
[06:37] <tech0007> transmission is too simple
[06:37] <mabus> TurboBee: rtorrent is better though, if you dont need a gui. it has a watch directory which is pretty cool.
[06:38] <ohletmeinnowgodd> turbo:agree tech:thats why i like it so far...but thi swhole "no adding of tracker list" kinda sucks
[06:38] <tech0007> ohletmeinnowgodd: just like i said
[06:38] <TurboBee> well I use rtorrent for me (not lately though), but my room mates all have linux phobia so they can only use gui applications
[06:38] <BusterHymen> <ultimate n00b question> is it possible to run OSX software on linux since OSX is *nix-based?  </ultimate n00b question>
[06:38] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hey heres a noob question
[06:38] <ohletmeinnowgodd> umm
[06:39] <vancomycin> (8.10+nvidia 177 activated drivers) any ideas how i can see VIDEO on VLC player i can hear the audio but NO video / even tried changing video output in vlc to x11 video and default outputs / no luck / medibuntu(w32codecs+libdvdss2) are installed / also did "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" - NO LUCK! video/audio plays in wmplayer - but there is an error that keeps flashing fast : [AO_ALSA] Unable to find simple control
[06:39] <vancomycin>  'PCM',0 ///  file plays NORMAL in "movie player" //this is an avi (xvid mpeg-4) file for example.
[06:39] <ohletmeinnowgodd> if i install something using apt get
[06:39] <rww> BusterHymen: not generally, no. Most OS X applications use Apple
[06:39] <ohletmeinnowgodd> will it be updated in synaptics package manager>?
[06:39] <BusterHymen> ohletmeinnowgodd:  yes
[06:39] <nintendork32> what version of gnome does ubuntu intrepid ibex use?
[06:39] <rww> 's proprietary itnerfaces for GUI, so it's complicated to port to linux
[06:39] <TurboBee> BusterHymen, but there is usually a good chance that the application you want to run on linux has a linux version as well.
[06:39] <mathijs> BusterHymen: non-gui apps yes, everything cocoa/aqua won't work since apple keeps its gui closed-source
[06:40] <BusterHymen> TurboBee:  yeah it was more of a theoretical question
[06:40] <BusterHymen> rww:  what is apple, exactly?
[06:40] <TurboBee> a fruit
[06:40] <TurboBee> XD
[06:40] <andresmh> i am trying to display my google calendar appointments on the gnome clock by doing: /usr/lib/evolution-webcal/evolution-webcal http://www.google.com/calendar/blah/basic.ics
[06:40] <rww> BusterHymen: I hit [Enter] by mistake. See the rest of the message a few lines down >.>
[06:40] <BusterHymen> mathijs:  cocoa/aqua is the mac equivalent of xorg or gtk or something?
[06:40] <tech0007> vancomycin: did you check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
[06:40] <BusterHymen> rww:  aah it all makes sense =)
[06:40] <rww> still getting used to my eeepc keyboard >.>
[06:41] <rww> BusterHymen: Yes, it is.
[06:41] <andresmh> but it doesn't show it, is there a way to show/hide appointments?
[06:41] <rww> BusterHymen: GTK, specifically
[06:41] <andresmh> on the gnome clock
[06:41] <mathijs> BusterHymen: like that yes, but mac also has X11 and most libs (gtk, qt) work well on mac, even without x11. Just not the other way around
[06:41] <tech0007> andresmh: i use evolution to import the .ics file, then it shows up on my clock
[06:42] <kornejo> hi can some one helps me plz im having problems with skype every time y click on test cam displays a green screen n then skype crash
[06:42] <BusterHymen> mathijs:  gotcha. because the kernel is pretty similar to linux, right?
[06:42] <vancomycin> hey tech0007 - no i didn't see this thread, i hope there's an answer in there that i haven't already done in my original question post here - :)
[06:42] <mib_dqdh1d> hey
[06:42] <andresmh> tech0007, yeah, that's what i want. and i got it to work before (on anothe rcomputer) but not even an appointments section shows up on the click
[06:42] <andresmh> clock
[06:42] <rww> BusterHymen: The OS X and Linux kernels are very different.
[06:42] <mib_dqdh1d> i want to mount the windows partition in my newly installed ubuntu
[06:42] <mib_dqdh1d> ??
[06:42] <BusterHymen> rww:  i thought they shared some similarity?  aren't mac fanboys always touting the unix-like features of OSX?
[06:42] <mathijs> BusterHymen: more to freebsd, but it's posix-compliant, which is some kind of specification that most *nixes comply to.
[06:42] <gabrielcz> Hello all there....
[06:43] <gabrielcz> I need some help changing collation of a mysql server...
[06:43] <gabrielcz> default uses: latin1_swedish_ci
[06:43] <gabrielcz> I want to change that to other collation....
[06:43] <RAdams> gabrielcz: #mysql
[06:43] <BusterHymen> mathijs:  yeah what exactly is posix, anyway?  That seems to come up a lot in the history of linux...
[06:43] <gabrielcz> Im there...
[06:43] <tech0007> andresmh: try File->import in evolution and see if it works...you need to download the .ics first
[06:43] <gabrielcz> no one alive ;P
[06:43] <mib_dqdh1d> i want to mount the windows partition in my newly installed ubuntu
[06:43] <mathijs> BusterHymen: the thing about posix is that you can do kernels in _very_ different ways, but still have some api that most apps can work with.
[06:43] <rww> BusterHymen: Yeah, Linux and OS X share some common interfaces. For example, their command-line stuff is similar (due to POSIX), so lots of command line stuff can be ported.
[06:44] <RAdams> BusterHymen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX
[06:44] <mib_dqdh1d> but my OS is not detecting the MS partition
[06:44] <rww> BusterHymen: And there are GTK interfaces for most common operating systems, including Windows and OS X. Same with QT. So GNOME and KDE apps can be ported to those OSes, with varying degrees of success.
[06:44] <tech0007> mib_dqdh1d: try 'sudo fdisk -l'
[06:44] <BusterHymen> Oh okay, so POSIX is a standard more than an actual structure/architecture
[06:45] <rww> BusterHymen: correct
[06:45] <RAdams> Yes
[06:45] <mib_dqdh1d> yes den tech0007
[06:45] <mathijs> BusterHymen: it's just some standards that most unixes have agreed on, it's the api/interface that a kernel gives to applications to get stuff done. The way they implement it below that layer is their choice, as long as the applications don't have to worry about it.
[06:45] <RAdams> does anyone have screenlets working in 8.10?
[06:46] <tech0007> mib_dqdh1d: do you see HPFS/NTFS?
[06:46] <RAdams> Mine never remember settings, but the configs populate in the home folder
[06:46] <BusterHymen> mathijs:  i think I get it.  So really, you can have a layer to translate posix-compliant commands into a completely different syntax/language and still have the system be posix-compliant, despite the low-level structure ... if i even expressed that clearly
[06:46] <rww> BusterHymen: yeah
[06:47] <mathijs> BusterHymen: yup
[06:47] <BusterHymen> okay thanks guys!  Happy thanksgiving to all... i'm g oing to bed!
[06:47] <mib_dqdh1d> i seen the NTFS one tech0007
[06:47] <BusterHymen> with all my new knowledge
[06:47] <BusterHymen> lol
[06:47] <tech0007> mib_dqdh1d: that's your windoze partition
[06:48] <GFree> think you mean windows, not windoze. Easy mistake to make. :)
[06:48] <vancomycin> tech0007, thanks for that link - looks really helpful -
[06:48] <RAdams> no, tech0007 is right.
[06:48] <tech0007> GFree: nope, im not mistaking :p
[06:49] <mib_dqdh1d> tech0007 den mount command
[06:49] <vancomycin> tech0007, i'm going to follow that thread step by step - i was about to give up hope again and revert or re-install 8.04
[06:49] <mib_dqdh1d> am i right
[06:49] <tech0007> vancomycin: good luck
[06:49] <tech0007> mib_dqdh1d: do you see it in nautilus ?
[06:50] <andresmh> tech0007, i do see the calendar listed/working on Evolution itself but for some reason the appointments section is not showing up on the Gnome Clock. Any way I can enable it?
[06:50] <xscottx3> hi all
[06:50] <onats> vancomycin, hi. are you able to get correct resolutions and 3d?
[06:50] <rww> !hi | xscottx3
[06:50] <mib_dqdh1d> not the mount command says unable to mount partition
[06:50] <PsiKloPx> tried to upgrade openoffice to 3.0 - added source in "Software Sources", hit reload, no openoffice upgrade - nothing but an adobe flash upgrade.  Hit apply and now flash video doesn't work (Hulu.com).
[06:50] <xscottx3> i have a question concerning using a terminal...is there a command to show all the files in the specific location you are in?
[06:51] <ghang> hi
[06:51] <ghang> I have a question
[06:51] <fonzarelli> xscottx3: ls
[06:51] <xscottx3> fonzarelli: thank you
[06:51] <rww> xscottx3: ls to show all non-hidden files, ls -a to show all files, including hidden, ls -la to show additional information
[06:51] <andresmh> in short, my clock applet doesn't display appointments. how can i enable it?
[06:51] <ghang> I have install the flashplugin-nonfree, but still cannot open my swf , mplay say there is library missing , I don't know what library I still need to upgrade with apt-get
[06:51] <rww> xscottx3: the mneumonic for ls is LiSt
[06:51] <fonzarelli> xscottx3: files/directories whose names start with a period are hidden.  you can see everything with:  ls -a
[06:52] <mib_dqdh1d> not the mount command says unable to mount partition tech0007
[06:52] <rww> PsiKloPx: what exactly did you add in software sources?
[06:53] <andresmh> ah i figured it out
[06:53] <xscottx3> thanks everyone.
[06:53] <tech0007> mib_dqdh1d: check if you have ntfs-3g installed
[06:53] <andresmh> is there a way to have a message pop up 1 hr before an appointment?
[06:53] <Rug> Howdy all
[06:54] <PsiKloPx> rww: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main

[06:54] <paul68> what can be the reason that I can't use ssh  when activation this iptable script
[06:54] <Daisuke_Ido> andresmh: set another appointment 1 hour before the actual appointment?
[06:54] <tech0007> mib_dqdh1d: 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g'
[06:54] <paul68> n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77316/
[06:55] <paul68> n8tuser: you can ignore that one :-)
[06:55] <rww> PsiKloPx: open up a terminal and issue "sudo apt-get update", then try again. Software Sources doesn't reload properly sometimes for me, and doing it manually tends to help
[06:55] <paul68> this is the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/77316/
[06:55] <andresmh> well, my question is more about how to trigger an alarm given that i already have my calendar set up to be displayed on the Gnome Clock

[06:57] <Rug> ohletmeinnowgodd: i don't think so
[06:57] <xscottx3> davyz; through wine i would think
[06:57] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hmm
[06:58] <rww> Popescu: yacc is in the universe repository; if you've disabled that repository (you'll get an error message when doing apt-get if you have), go to Software Sources and reenable it
[06:58] <xscottx3> davyz: i know limewire can be installed on ubuntu i think
[06:58] <ohletmeinnowgodd> anyone else can validate rug?
[06:58] <DavyZ> is it.. let me check
[06:58] <Popescu> rww E: Could not find package yacc
[06:58] <ohletmeinnowgodd> is there anyway to look at my wireless adapters settings and maybe perform some tweaks(O/P power , Rx Sens etc)?
[06:59] <PsiKloPx> rww: two problems: openoffice isn't calling for an update as I expected it too, and now because of the flash update firefox can't play flash videos.  Just a giant play button that just disappears when you click on it.
[06:59] <xscottx3> dayvz: just checked for you, limewire has linux support.
[06:59] <paul68> what can be the reason that I can't use ssh  when activation this iptable script  http://paste.ubuntu.com/77316/

[07:09] <toastedmilk> asuseeepc4g, sweet.
[07:09] <toastedmilk> it says I have gparted but I can't find it, and should I run it from the partition I'm on that I want to keep?
[07:09] <huwenfeng> HI all,  i get a problem ,  in my ubuntu 8.04 system, i am the user 'david', my user's uid is 1000. when i run ps aux , i found the first column is 1000, not my user name 'david', how can i change the 1000 to my user name 'david'?????
[07:09] <huwenfeng> Can anybody help me?
[07:10] <asuseeepc4g> toastedmilk: gparted should be under System -> Administration, IRC
[07:10] <Rug> huwenfeng: You just asked that question, don't spam the channel please
[07:10] <asuseeepc4g> toastedmilk: you have to "unmount" a partition before you can resize it.
[07:10] <rww> toastedmilk: it probably will refuse to resize a partition you're using. Boot from a live CD, then do System > Administration > Partition Editor or something like that
[07:11] <panicfreek> yeah i'm registered now...LOL
[07:11] <rww> toastedmilk: or download the gparted live cd and use it
[07:11] <GodfatherofEire> Quick question: what portion of the gtkrc file would I modify in order to change the color of the buttons?
[07:12] <macjason0607> guys is there anything out there better then k9copy ?
[07:12] <panicfreek> i am having an issue with seeing the menu bars fonts...i have tried to change to dif profiles but that has not helped
[07:12] <DavyZ> how to make a irc shell?
[07:13] <panicfreek> there is just a "_" where "FILE" etc should be
[07:13] <john_> have a quick question.  I compiled from source the latest madwifi drivers but when I do a restart I have to sudo modprobe ath_pci every time I login
[07:13] <Rug> huwenfeng: try this:    ps aux -u david
[07:13] <john_> does a way exist to tell it to auto load this driver?
[07:13] <Rug> john_: insmod
[07:14] <huwenfeng> yes ,i run it , but just the same , all the user name that should be 'david' is still '1000'.
[07:15] <huwenfeng> or should i change some configure files ?
[07:15] <hmw_> when i ssh into my ubuntu, it takes several seconds, before the password prompt appears. the system has a low load. is this normal with ubuntu?
[07:15] <Rug> huwenfeng: at the command prompt type: whoami
[07:15] <john_> thanks RUG... looking into it now...
[07:15] <Rug> hmw_: no, not if your ssh keys are already loaded
[07:16] <jubuntu> I am not seeing my wireless icon in ubuntu studio after the installation any ideas?
[07:16] <hmw_lfs> hmm
[07:16] <huwenfeng> david
[07:17] <Rug> Interesting problem; I have been able to watch DVD's for a long time.  I just installed VMWare server and now I cannot play any DVD's.  Any suggestions?
[07:17] <huwenfeng> Rug: Yes, i am sure i am the user david, but the cmd ps shows all user name 'david' to my uid '1000',
[07:18] <noah> I don't understand how the new version of xserver (in 8.10) keeps track of what resolution the screen should be at
[07:18] <huwenfeng> Rug: the vmware may block your cdrom
[07:18] <Rug> huwenfeng: add a new user, launch a program, and check with ps aux -u NEWGUY
[07:18] <noah> I've been trying like mad to get things working but every time i restart the screen resolution is lower than the last time!
[07:19] <huwenfeng> Rug: you may just disconnect you CDROM from you vmware guest machine
[07:19] <noah> I'm at 320x240 by now and I'm scared to see what's next. I can barely even use chatzilla.
[07:19] <Rug> huwenfeng: I have stopped all vmware services and it still doesn't work
[07:20] <noah> so my question is: wtf is up with screen resolutions in ubuntu 8.10?
[07:20] <rww> !resolution | noah
[07:20] <paul68> what can be the reason that I can't use ssh  when activation this iptable script  http://paste.ubuntu.com/77316/  can it be because it aint mentioned in the forwarding rules?
[07:20] <friedtofu> anyone have experience with input out put errors on a usb drive?
[07:20] <Rug> friedtofu: try us
[07:21] <hmw_pidgin> paul68: repeat the link pls
[07:21] <paul68> what can be the reason that I can't use ssh  when activation this iptable script  http://paste.ubuntu.com/77316/  can it be because it aint mentioned in the forwarding rules?
[07:22] <noobuntu> hi guys i need some help. im currently at work and rebooted my Ubuntu 8.04 installation, since this i get Grub Error: 17. How can i quickly fix this?
[07:22] <nme> ubottu: ;) to restart X press ctrl+alt+backspace ;P
[07:22] <friedtofu> Rug: so basically, i can still read from this 8 gig usb drive. but when i write to it it has errors - i try to repartiton it and i still get errors. i try it in windwos and it doesnt work iether
[07:22] <hmw_pidgin> paul68: yes of course, youre dropping everything, except you tell it not to do so
[07:22] <panicfreek> can someone lend me a hand when they get a sec
[07:22] <hmw_pidgin> you need an input rule for icmp
[07:22] <Rug> friedtofu: what kind of errors?
[07:23] <rww> !ask | panicfreek
[07:23] <hmw_pidgin> panicfreek: i doubt, that anyone will take off their hand and send it to you. ask a question
[07:23] <friedtofu> Rug: when i make a file, copy a file, or do anything on that space an error message will pop up "Input/output error."
[07:23] <panicfreek> well i did and no  one answered
[07:24] <paul68> hmw_pidgin: so if I add the forward rule I should be ok? probably before the limited section right?
[07:24] <Rug> friedtofu: try fsck then formatting it
[07:24] <huwenfeng> friedtofu: you may not have permission on that dir , or that disk does not have enough space
[07:24] <hmw_pidgin> forwarding would only allow to forward a ping
[07:24] <fenerli7> when you play UT2004 in Linux, how do you switch back to desktop? (alt-tab doesn't work)
[07:24] <hmw_pidgin> if you want your machine to be pingable, you need an input rule
[07:25] <friedtofu> Rug: its fat32 - and i think its screwed up
[07:25] <panicfreek> all I see is " - " when i try to click where "File" should be I have changed the controls several times with no luck
[07:25] <Rug> so try to fix it with fsck
[07:25] <paul68> hmw_pidgin: what rule do I need to make it work then?
[07:25] <panicfreek> having the problem with k3B and several others
[07:26] <john_> I looked up insmod but I don't think it's what I want.  Does someplace exist, similar to "sessionli
[07:26] <john_> excuse my typing... meant to say "sessions"
[07:26] <paul68> hmw_pidgin: cause I have one in the input and output
[07:26] <Rug> john_: sessions?  never heard of them
[07:27] <hmw_pidgin> paul68: do you speak german? this is quite good: http://www.64-bit.de/dokumentationen/netzwerk/e/002/DE-IPTABLES-HOWTO-3.html --- it also shows a graph, how iptables work, so its useful for non german speakers as well. rule is coming...
[07:27] <friedtofu> Rug: i use fsck, and it tries to correct it, but it still doesnt write to it
[07:28] <GodfatherofEire> Could somebody tell me where I might modify the button colors in the gtkrc file?
[07:28] <hmw_pidgin> paul68: i didnt see, hmm... i'll take a look
[07:28] <paul68> hmw_pidgin: I understand german
[07:28] <AussieGuy> can bash spawn a new process without waiting for it to finish, like fork() in c?
[07:28] <john_> I don't want to have to type "sudo modprobe ath_pci" each time I reboot or wake my machine from hibernation
[07:28] <Rug> friedtofu: sounds like a permission issue.  Does it work in a different computer?
[07:29] <friedtofu> well. it wasnt working on my sister's computer so she gave it to me to try. and it doesnt seem to work on mine's either
[07:29] <Rug> john_: you don't have to, there is a list you add that to that loads every time you boot
[07:29] <Rug> friedtofu: odds are it might be dead
[07:29] <john_> thats what I'm looking for
[07:29] <mtinman> john_: There's a fix in the Release notes, Hold on, I'll find that link for ya...
[07:29] <hmw_pidgin> paul68: i am not sure but "! lo" seems wrong (the white space) - try !lo
[07:30] <paul68> hmw_pidgin: ok
[07:30] <panicfreek> rug any ideas on my "_" where File etc should be?
[07:30] <Rug> john_: ack I am sorry but I don't remember the name of the file.   But it does exist.
[07:30] <john_> thanks.  I was proud of myself for compiling from source my madwifi driver :-)
[07:31] <book> So, I'm trying to use a webcam in VMware (windows xp vm, unbuntu linux native) the cam is an ms nx-3000 and is not detected in the vm, any thoughts?
[07:31] <ellipsis_> http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/5862/weirdtabsscreenshothg7.png
[07:31] <Rug> panicfreek: you are having _what_ problems with k3b?
[07:31] <ellipsis_> anyone know what causes that when you install kubuntu on a GNOME ubuntu install?
[07:31] <john_> ok so I should be able to grep for some other driver that is mentioned in this file which would uncover it yes?
[07:31] <paul68> hmw_pidgin: can I message you in private?
[07:31] <panicfreek> i can see any of the options
[07:31] <panicfreek>  having the same issue on several programs
[07:31] <Rug> john, yes if you type:   lsmod that will ist all modules currently loaded

[07:35] <MrEgg964> Hi all :) In Intrepid, my cifs and nfs mounts no longer get automatically mounted at boot time. I connect to my local network thru wifi. Any suggestion?
[07:36] <samiko> hi, anybody knows how to start an application in a different language from the session?
[07:36] <panicfreek> rug: no good..i know new project should be there but all I see is "_"
[07:36] <Rug> ubuntu_: umount /dev/sda6
[07:36] <panicfreek> samething is happening on several programs
[07:36] <Rug> panicfreek: sorry
[07:37] <ubuntu_> Rug: gParted is still saying this: Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6.
[07:37] <noah> Anybody out there know the xserver well on Intrepid
[07:37] <panicfreek> i have tried to change profile but the words never come up
[07:37] <c0l2e> can anyone help http://pastie.org/325157
[07:38] <Rug> ubuntu_: type:  mount   to see a list of all mounted filesystems
[07:38] <panicfreek> unistalled several of them and re-installed and that didnt work
[07:38] <ubuntu_> Rug: it's not in the mount list
[07:38] <ohletmeinnowgod1> why is it that my ntfs partition doesnt automatically get "recognized" after startup (ie in rythmbox, desktop shortcuts ) untill i manually "access" it ?
[07:38] <phuzion> Anyone here know much about getting PHP talking with Active Directory?
[07:38] <panicfreek> had the same issue with openoffice, found answer in forum and fixed it
[07:38] <ubuntu_> Rug: should I take it out of the ext3 format?
[07:39] <Rug> ext3 is a fine fs
[07:39] <ubuntu_> Rug: so what's going on here?
[07:39] <Rug> Ububegin: solar flares
[07:39] <Ububegin> Rug: huh
[07:39] <Rug> =)
[07:39] <Rug> never mind
[07:40] <noah> I used to be able to get the xorg.conf into a usable configuration back in the good ole days of 6.06/6.10 but this new-fangled version in Intrepid doesn't seem to care about xorg.conf much
[07:40] <Rug> ubuntu_: so iif you type mount, there are no filesystems mounted?
[07:40] <Ububegin> Rug: you got the wrong guy, dude..
[07:41] <Rug> noah: that could be a good thing
[07:41] <noah> Rug: except that I don't know any other way to tell it that my monitor supports better than a 480x320 resolution
[07:42] <ubuntu_> Rug: finding a pastebin
[07:42] <Linx> I am trying to pair a bluetooth GPS device but ubuntu does not let me use 0000 for the key... how can I get the device paired? I am using ubuntu 8.10
[07:42] <noah> Rug: it was working before, but something broke it and ever since the resolution has gotten bigger each time the machine reboots
[07:42] <Linx> Does not give me the option to enter a key
[07:42] <Rug> sorry I don't run 8.10
[07:43] <Linx> it just picks one and then fails
[07:43] <heffay> can someone help me get my video working?
[07:43] <ohletmeinnowgod1> hey guys
[07:43] <GodfatherofEire1> Anybody know where in the gtkrc file I might find the button/check box xolor?
[07:44] <ohletmeinnowgod1> what happens if you have a program running, then when you click on its system tray icon, the gui pops up but its all "blank"
[07:44] <ohletmeinnowgod1> it shows up in "top"
[07:44] <ubuntu_> Run: http://pastebin.ca/1268370
[07:45] <prodigel> is there a way to create fixed size volumes using file-roller? I have the option but once I choose the archive type it disables itself.
[07:46] <ohletmeinnowgod1> what happens if you have a program running, then when you click on its system tray icon, the gui pops up but its all "blank"; it shows up now and then in "top"
[07:46] <PsiKloPx> I
[07:46] <ubuntu_> http://pastebin.ca/1268370, and gParted still says I have to unmount /dev/sda6.  Can someone help?
[07:46] <Linx> anyone able to help with 8.10 bluetooth pairing problem?
[07:47] <dhaka> ubuntu_: have you tried sudo umount /dev/sda6 froma  terminal?
[07:47] <ubuntu_> dhaka: check the pastebin
[07:47] <PsiKloPx> I've received the message 'use sudo apt-get autoremove' several times in the terminal while upgrading or installing.  Is this something I should run?  What is it going to do?
[07:47] <Rug> PsiKloPx: try running sudo apt-get autoremove
[07:48] <ubuntu_> dhaka: and if you mean specifically did I use 'sudo', then yes, to the same effect
[07:48] <heffay> when i startx all my montor says is "out of range"
[07:48] <Linx> removes packages that are no longer required
[07:48] <ubuntu_> dhaka: umount: /dev/sda6: not mounted
[07:48] <Rug> ubuntu_: try sudo umount /dev/sda6 -l
[07:48] <johndoe> how do i update to 8.10?
[07:48] <dhaka> ubuntu_: Ok, ok, sorry, I didnt see the pastebin before, my mistake.
[07:49] <Linx> usually packages that are installed as a dependency but the package that caused them to be installed was removed
[07:49] <PsiKloPx> Rug: when I google it I see that some people have had problems after running autoremove.  Just wanted to double-check.
[07:49] <Linx> so its suggested that you remove X packages also as they are not needed
[07:49] <Rug> PsiKloPx: just depends on what is getting removed
[07:49] <dhaka> ubuntu_: could you describe all the partitions in your disk? (/dev/sda)?
[07:49] <gluonman> How can I create a png in Ubuntu?
[07:50] <Rug> gluonman: gimp should be able to
[07:50] <mehul_yadav> HI
[07:50] <gluonman> Rug, would you know how to do it in Gimp?
[07:50] <Rug> low
[07:50] <PsiKloPx> Rug: that's not exactly comforting.
[07:50] <Rug> gluonman: file -> Save As
[07:50] <mehul_yadav> how to install NWC
[07:50] <mehul_yadav> ?
[07:50] <Rug> PsiKloPx: sorry
[07:51] <Rug> PsiKloPx: every system is different, read what needs to be removed, if it looks to scary for you, then don't do.
[07:51] <gluonman> Rug, what I mean is how can I take a .jpg and crop it into the shape of the image inside to make a png icon?
[07:51] <dhaka> ubuntu_: you know, the beginning of logical partitions, there is one partition which is not used. could it be /dev/sda6 on your disk?
[07:51] <ubuntu_> dhaka: /dev/sda1 = ext3, /dev/sda2 - extended, /dev/sda5 - linux-swap, /dev/sda6 - ext3, /dev/sda7 - linux-swap
[07:51] <Rug> PsiKloPx: This is how you learn.  By making mistakes
[07:52] <jscinoz> gah >_<
[07:52] <Rug> gluonman: I don't know, I odn't use gimp
[07:52] <gluonman> Rug, alright.
[07:52] <ohletmeinnowgod1> what happens if you have a program running, then when you click on its system tray icon, the gui pops up but its all "blank"
[07:52] <Rug> ohletmeinnowgod1: that is odd
[07:52] <Rug> ohletmeinnowgod1: kinda cool eh!

[07:53] <{o_0}> How do I change my sound to 5.1? I've tried every forum post to no avail....
[07:53] <ohletmeinnowgod1> rug: yeah cool, if i was on windows!
[07:53] <noah> gluonman: I trust you can manage that much?
[07:53] <jscinoz> I am trying to install ubuntu in an encrypted LVM on my usb flash drive, because im doing some other hackery with this set up (two root lvms, one squashfs, one ext3, unioned with aufs, both inside dm-crypt) i couldnt use the automated encrypted root setup in the alternate installer. I have installed cryptsetup when chrooted into this installl, and run update-initramfs, cryptsetup, and all the modules are included, but conf/conf.d/crypt
[07:53] <jscinoz> root is not, and thus it doesnt ask for my password on boots, and drops to busybox because there is no root, any ideas what im doing wrong?
[07:54] <gluonman> noah, of course. I'm not a noob in many respects. Just in creating icons.
[07:54] <noobuntu> johndoe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528427 maybe that helps
[07:54] <c0l2e> cannot connect to openvpn via network manager.. help!
[07:54] <noah> gluonman: OK, use the crop tool to select what you want, press enter to crop it
[07:54] <Rug> jscinoz: very cool I must admit
[07:54] <heffay> anyone?
[07:54] <gluonman> noah, I'll try that.
[07:55] <johndoe> noobuntu: thanks
[07:55] <noah> gluonman: then, in the image window, you can do File > Save As...
[07:55] <{o_0}> I'm using pulseaudio, conf files are set to 6 channels, but still only 2 channels in my soundmixer thingy...how do I get it to play 5.1?
[07:55] <heffay> when i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it only handles my keyboard
[07:55] <jscinoz> Rug, yeah it mostly works, all i have to do is luksOpen the encrypted volume, and vgscan in busybox, then it continues booting
[07:55] <jscinoz> and it all works :P
[07:55] <noah> gluonman: select a PNG format (or just give the file name a .png) and it will give you conversion options
[07:55] <jscinoz> but im trying to get it to work automagically >_<
[07:55] <jscinoz> no idea why conf/conf.d/cryptroot isnt being created
[07:55] <noah> gluonman: any options it gives you should be fine as defaults
[07:56] <gluonman> noah, thank you.
[07:57] <Rug> jscinoz: try asking in #debian  those folks are a lot smarter then most of us.
[07:57] <jscinoz> will do thanks

[07:59] <ohletmeinnowgod1> what happens if you have a program running, then when you click on its system tray icon, the gui pops up but its all "blank" ?
[07:59] <ohletmeinnowgod1> what going on if you have a program running, then when you click on its system tray icon, the gui pops up but its all "blank"
[08:00] <nick108> I'm experiencing a weird mouse behaviour on Ubuntu Hardy Heron both under KDE and Gnome
[08:00] <gluonman> noah, the crop tool can only give me the shape of a square. I need to crop the image to conform to the edges of an irregular shape in the .jpg. How can I do that?
[08:00] <nick108> when I write text the cursor always jumps to the current mouse position
[08:01] <nick108> which makes it almost impossible to write more than a couple of words without repositioning the curor
[08:01] <noah> gluonman: You could use the lasso tool to meticulously select the shape you want
[08:01] <gluonman> noah, okay. I'll try to find that tool. I don't see it yet.
[08:02] <mtinman> nick108: Are your mouse and keyboard both USB?
[08:02] <Luxor> hm
[08:02] <noah> gluonman: or if it's a nice easy shape you could try the magic wand to see if it can auto select it for you
[08:02] <nick108> mtinman: I have a laptop with USB mouse attached, but have the same behaviour if I unplug the USB mouse
[08:02] <Linx> anyone know a good place to look for how to get a bluetooth device to pair.... ubuntu is using 1234 but my device wants 0000....
[08:03] <noah> gluonman: keep in mind, all icons are squares, though
[08:03] <gluonman> noah, alright.
[08:03] <mtinman> nick108: Hmm, have to think on that one, do you have a synaptic touchpad, or is it a thinkpad?
[08:04] <nick108> mtinman: synaptic I guess (HP)
[08:04] <gluonman> noah, some are circles.
[08:04] <EMPulse> hey guys
[08:04] <EMPulse> Whats the best RSS reader on Ubuntu?
[08:05] <Rug> EMPulse: I like akregator
[08:05] <noah> gluonman: those are squares too, they just happen to be transparent around the edges
[08:05] <gluonman> noah, oh. Maybe that's what I need. Transparency. Do you know how I can do that>
[08:05] <gluonman> ?
[08:05] <VistaUser> hey
[08:05] <VistaUser> can someone help me
[08:05] <EMPulse> Rug, cool thanks
[08:05] <noah> gluonman: Yes, the same thing you were doing before, for the most part
[08:05] <HRshovinstuff> Ubuntu is teh greatest
[08:05] <Rug> VistaUser: just ask
[08:06] <n-iCe> question
[08:06] <Rug> EMPulse: np
[08:06] <gluonman> noah, but how do I make the image transparent around the image?
[08:06] <n-iCe> define is, comment or uncomment
[08:06] <n-iCe> sorry, but I am not an english native speaker
[08:06] <noah> gluonman: you can use your method of choice to select the part that should be transparent
[08:06] <VistaUser> ok so i am trying to install my nvidia graphics but mymain monitor is broke so i use external and it wont show up after i go into restricted drivers and enable and reboot
[08:07] <Oni> Anyone spare a minute to help a new Ubuntu scrub?
[08:07] <Oni> Just divided laptop HDD into two partitions, put XP on the first and Ubuntu on the 2nd - however after spending some time playing games on XP , when i restart to go to Ubuntu it now gets stuck with error "kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot" and then just sits in terminal mode
[08:07] <noah> gluonman: or if it would be easier, select the part that should become the icon and then invert your selection (Select > Invert)
[08:07] <mtinman> nick108: Check here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-mouse/+bug/135062, it's a start, I have to go, the wifey is calling me to bed...
[08:07] <sigterm> doh
[08:07] <gluonman> noah, alright.
[08:08] <nick108> thx mtinman, greatly appreciated
[08:08] <VistaUser> anyone have a solution to my problem???

[08:08] <HRshovinstuff> VistaUser: your question doesn't make sense
[08:09] <co-basket> hi
[08:09] <gluonman> noah, so I use the lasso thing to trace the crop I want, then select transparent to fill it, then select invert for the whole image?
[08:09] <VistaUser> ok let me rephrase
[08:09] <sigterm> external monitor eh? unless you have a laptop that makes no sense
[08:09] <samiko> i have xfce but i want gnome-like clock on my panle -which package should i install?
[08:09] <co-basket> hii
[08:10] <theunixgeek> For any newcomers and powerusers alike: be careful not to confuse the terms "usr" and "user," as "usr" stands for "Unix System Resources," a naming legacy from System V.
[08:10] <HRshovinstuff> samiko:  gnomepanel ??
[08:10] <mehul_yadav> How To Install Cairo?
[08:10] <samiko> HRshovinstuff, so its a part of the gnome panel then....
[08:10] <noah> gluonman: Step one is get the part that needs to be transparent inside the selection (inside the flashing rope)
[08:10] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to delete a partition on which I was storing another version of linux, it's location is /dev/sda6.  However, it is under the /dev/sda2 tree along with /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda5, which are linux-swap keys.  How do I move the swap keys to be under /dev/sda1 so I can wipe out /dev/sda2?
[08:10] <jimmio> Hello all, not sure if this is a C++ question or if it falls under Ubuntu, but anyways, I'm trying to clear the terminal my app is running in... what do I dO?
[08:10] <VistaUser> ok so i have a laptop and the main monitor is broken so i have to use an external monitor. So when i tried to go into restricted drivers and use that as a platform to download and install the nvidia driver i need to reboot afterwards. so i do so. when it is booting up the external monitor says no signal after the loading bar
[08:10] <mehul_yadav> Cairo Dock?
[08:11] <gluonman> noah, alright.
[08:11] <c3nt0s> damn i keep getting bad sectors
[08:11] <sigterm> VistaUser, you have a screen switch function key?
[08:11] <HRshovinstuff> samiko: yah m0n
[08:11] <noah> gluonman: you can either select those parts by hand, or select the part that SHOULDN'T be transparent and then invert your active selection (Select > Invert)
[08:11] <samiko> HRshovinstuff, very sad.....
[08:11] <c3nt0s> it seems even fsck won't fix it
[08:11] <samiko> thanks anyway
[08:11] <c3nt0s> what are my options
[08:11] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to delete a partition on which I was storing another version of linux, it's location is /dev/sda6.

[08:11] <KDE4000|Away> VistaUser: hey
[08:11] <noah> gluonman: from that point there are only two simple steps
[08:11] <gabrielcz> question: I need to reboot a server when a script finish, Its ok to add this line "/sbin/reboot" ?
[08:11] <VistaUser> sigterm: what is that? and how do i use it to switch back to main
[08:12] <mehul_yadav> Can Anyone Help Installing Cairo-Dock?
[08:12] <gabrielcz> at the end of the script?
[08:12] <sigterm> erm its usually one of the F keys
[08:12] <gabrielcz> that will restart my server?
[08:12] <theunixgeek> jimmio: what do you mean?
[08:12] <sigterm> VistaUser, what kind of laptop?
[08:12] <theunixgeek> jimmio: to clear the terminal, type clear
[08:12] <theunixgeek> and press return
[08:12] <VistaUser> HP pavilion dv6000
[08:12] <Oni> Anyone able to tell me solution to "kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." and just being left in a DOS like terminal?
[08:12] <ubuntu_> mehul_yadav: you have to install it from the repositories.  There is documentation from the ubuntu community.
[08:12] <gluonman> noah, but when I selected the part that shouldn't be transparent, clicking invert didn't visibly do anything.
[08:12] <jimmio> theunixgeek: I mean, how do I clear it from within a C++ application?
[08:12] <ubuntu_> mehul_yadav: you have to install it from the repositories.  There is documentation from the ubuntu community.
[08:13] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to delete a partition on which I was storing another version of linux, it's location is /dev/sda6.  However, it is under the /dev/sda2 tree along with /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda5, which are linux-swap keys.  How do I move the swap keys to be under /dev/sda1 so I can wipe out /dev/sda2?
[08:13] <VistaUser> KDE4000|away: hey
[08:13] <sigterm> VistaUser, lower left corner, usually is the function key, then i believe uhm F4/5/6 one of those should have a monitor looking icon on it
[08:13] <mehul_yadav> How will i find the Documentation?
[08:13] <theunixgeek> jimmio: oh, #include <cstdlib>
[08:13] <c3nt0s> why is ubuntu so shitty when it comes to file corruptions
[08:13] <theunixgeek> jimmio: and then use system("clear");
[08:13] <ubuntu_> mehul_yadav: www.ubuntu.com
[08:13] <VistaUser> f4 is
[08:13] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to delete a partition on which I was storing another version of linux, it's location is /dev/sda6.  However, it is under the /dev/sda2 tree along with /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda5, which are linux-swap keys.  How do I move the swap keys to be under /dev/sda1 so I can wipe out /dev/sda2?
[08:13] <sigterm> so functionkey+F4 , see if that switches it over for you
[08:13] <theunixgeek> jimmio: if you want to port your app to DOS, make it system("cls");
[08:14] <mehul_yadav> How do i Format a Pen Drive?
[08:14] <VistaUser> sigterm: so if i use the f4 button it will switch back to the external monitor??
[08:14] <noah> gluonman: it's subtle: before you should have your flashing circle around your selection, after you have the same flashing circle as well as the outer edge flashing
[08:14] <sigterm> does on all 4 laptops here *shrug*
[08:14] <sigterm> mix of dell and lenovo's
[08:14] <VistaUser> sigterm: what is a function key???
[08:14] <kernando> how can i install windows xp on ubuntu so i can open it up like an application like ive seen in youtube vids??
[08:14] <sigterm> VistaUser, usuall it has "FN" on it
[08:14] <sigterm> VistaUser, in the lowerleft side of the keyboard
[08:14] <VistaUser> ooo ok
[08:14] <VistaUser> ill try brb
[08:14] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to delete a partition on which I was storing another version of linux, it's location is /dev/sda6.

[08:14] <Oni> Anyone able to tell me solution to "kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." during startup, and just being left in a DOS like terminal?
[08:14] <sigterm> good luck
[08:15] <gluonman> noah, there was no flashing outer edge.
[08:15] <HRshovinstuff> sigterm: you are sending him on a goose chase lawl
[08:15] <theunixgeek> mehul_yadav: http://www.google.com/search?q=format+pen+drive+ubuntu&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
[08:15] <theunixgeek> !google | mehul_yadav
[08:15] <HRshovinstuff> VistaUser: check your personal messages
[08:15] <sigterm> HRshovinstuff, nope i do it all the time for presentations off my laptops
[08:15] <mehul_yadav> Thank You
[08:16] <VistaUser> how?
[08:16] <noah> gluonman: you could find out real easy which part is selected: press delete (you can always undo with Ctrl + z)
[08:16] <HRshovinstuff> vistauser: click on the tab?
[08:16] <VistaUser> ok
[08:16] <Oni> I googled for over an hour , and although i saw my problem a few times i didnt see any answers besides "It's not actually an issue" , the person just didnt say how to get back to the GUI screen from Terminal
[08:16]  * sigterm burps
[08:16] <noah> gluonman: if it got rid of the middle instead of the edges, undo the delete, invert the selection, then delete again and see the difference
[08:16] <sigterm> course that might be a few beers talkin =D
[08:17] <sigterm> but honestly tho, i use that function all the time, works for me *shrug*
[08:17] <gluonman> noah, where is the delete option?
[08:17] <noah> gluonman: it should just be the delete key on your keyboard
[08:17] <Oni> Anyone able to tell me solution to "kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." during startup, and just being left in a DOS like terminal?
[08:18] <gluonman> noah, hm. Okay.
[08:18] <Oni> I want to get back into GUI ubuntu but it wont let me >.>
[08:18] <ay^> Oni: does startx work?
[08:19] <Oni> ill just try that
[08:19] <gluonman> noah, it isn't the Backspace key.
[08:19] <ay^> gluonman: how about delete?
[08:20] <Oni> ay^  , no it just says something about Ubuntu being free , then returns to the same terminal
[08:20] <gluonman> ay^, well, duh. Where is the delete command in gimp?
[08:20] <ay^> gluonman: deletet-key?
[08:20] <ay^> *delete
[08:20] <ay^> Oni: it doesn't say anything about what went wrong?
[08:20] <gluonman> ay^, it doens't do anything.
[08:21] <ay^> gluonman: thats wierd, I'm pretty sure it's delete on my gimp
[08:21] <theunixgeek> jimmio: did that work?
[08:21] <noah> gluonman: Not backspace, Delete (hopefully a key on your keyboard near insert/home/end)
[08:21] <gluonman> ay^, unless the Free Select Tool is what doesn't work with the delete key.
[08:21] <gluonman> noah, ay^ I realize I was confusing backspace with delete. Sorry.
[08:22] <ay^> gluonman: does delete work then?
[08:22] <jimmio> theunixgeek: Perfect. Just those in C++ barked for not using a path along with it... /usr/bin/clear it is. =P
[08:22] <noah> gluonman: try this: select (Layer > Transparancy > Add Alpha Channel)
[08:22] <Oni> ay^ I tried startx several times , now its sitting saying something about Backtrace? and then a number of Numbers and statements
[08:22] <gluonman> noah, delete works.
[08:22] <ay^> gluonman: great :)
[08:23] <noah> gluonman: after adding the alpha channel when you delete it will leave behind transparency instead of a solid color
[08:23] <gluonman> noah, at first I pressed delete and it deleted the desired object in the picture. Then I inverted it and clicked delete, and it didn't delete the image.
[08:23] <kelvin911> is there a golf game for ubuntu?
[08:23] <gluonman> noah, thank you so much. It finally worked.
[08:24] <noah> gluonman: you could also use the eraser tool to clean it up as necessary
[08:24] <paranoid_ndroid> kelvin911, kgolf and neverputt
[08:24] <reqqit> I have gimp 2.6 installed
[08:24] <ay^> Oni: I would probably have to read what the error is in order to be able to help you, so if you could copy/paste it, that might help
[08:24] <reqqit> Is that the gimp that is in the ubuntu repo?
[08:24] <ay^> Oni: if not in a pastebin in a pm
[08:24] <reqqit> the gimp 2.6.3 is out - is that in the updates?
[08:24] <gluonman> noah, thank you for your help.
[08:24] <reqqit> I don't see an update forit.
[08:25] <noah> gluonman: Glad to help. Once you have it to your liking the (File > Save As...) should have you fixed up nicely.
[08:25] <kelvin911> kolf?
[08:25] <ay^> reqqit: usually it takes a while for updated apps to be able in the repos (for instance eclipse is superold in the repos..)
[08:25] <kelvin911> and neverputt?
[08:25] <reqqit> Do I have to uninstall gimp and stop using package manager to manage the install and just install it myself?
[08:25] <Oni> ay^  - I'll just restart laptop so i get the error up again, just a second
[08:25] <gluonman> noah, yes, it's nice. Now off to do some cooking. Later.
[08:25] <reqqit> ay^, why?
[08:25] <kelvin911> is there something better than those 2?
[08:25] <ay^> renato_: I'm not quite sure, but I suppose it needs to be compiled and tested before presented as "good to go"
[08:25] <reqqit> Why can't gimp package their crap? It is bad enough that I have to use the gimp, when the fix for something I want to do is in 2.6.1, and I have 2.6.0.. forget it, uninstall reinstall
[08:25] <kelvin911> the golf game in my cell phone is better than those 2

[08:47] <trojatra> My windows only raise when I click on the title bar, not in the window itself. How can I fix this?
[08:48] <gluonman> ay^, I went into nautilus as root and checked the permission on /media/disk and it said root - create and delete folders.
[08:48] <ay^> trojatra: turn off compiz and see if it works
[08:48] <ardchoille> trojatra: which window manager are you using?
[08:48] <ay^> gluonman: so can you create stuff with root?
[08:49] <trojatra> ay^, not using compiz.
[08:49] <gluonman> ay^, my other ntfs external automounts with the same permissions and I can easily read and write from/to it.
[08:49] <trojatra> ardantus, metacity.
[08:49] <EMPulse> does anyone know if thunderbird works with windows live mail?
[08:49] <ay^> gluonman: are the mount-lines exactly the same?
[08:49] <gluonman> ay^, yes.
[08:50] <cypressx3>  	 irc://irc.euirc.net/german-bash.org
[08:50] <ardchoille> EMPulse: afaik, you need to pay for a subscription for pop3 access to Windows live mail
[08:50] <ay^> gluonman: if so, the only thing I would imagine to cause this is if there is a problem with it, and you have the errors=remount-ro option set
[08:50] <gluonman> ay^, but for some reason, I can read/write from/to the external when in root, but not when the regular user.
[08:50] <cypressx3> oh sry
[08:50] <EMPulse> ardchoille, that sucks, damn microsoft
[08:51] <gluonman> ay^, maybe it's just the difference between an ntfs external and an ext3 one. Permissions set the same, but with the ntfs I can read/write without being in root.
[08:51] <ardchoille> EMPulse: fwiw, gmail works great with thunderbird :)
[08:51] <ay^> gluonman: shouldn't be

[08:52] <ardchoille> EMPulse: ok
[08:52] <HRshovinstuff> err can someone remind me of a website where i can post long code to link in chat
[08:52] <gluonman> ay^, well, I don't understand it, but that's how it is. I'll just reset the permissions to allow the regular user. That should work.
[08:52] <ardchoille> !paste | HRshovinstuff
[08:52] <ay^> gluonman: I still think its some mounting option gone wrong
[08:53] <gluonman> ay^, how would I fix that
[08:53] <gluonman> ?
[08:53] <ay^> gluonman: what does "mount" say about the options?
[08:53] <gluonman> ay^, what do you mean?
[08:54] <ay^> gluonman: the command mount i terminal
[08:54] <ay^> it displays all your mounted stuff
[08:54] <gluonman> ay^, alright.
[08:54] <Tyrath> when I run iwconfig it tells me signal level is -25 dBm, is this faster or slower than -28dBm ?
[08:55] <Tyrath> ie, does the - count or not?
[08:55] <trojatra> My windows only raise when I click on the title bar, not in the window itself. How can I fix this? (Using GNOME/metacity)
[08:55] <gluonman> ay^, the last line relates to the ext3 external, but I don't see any errors.
[08:55] <ay^> gluonman: what does it say?

[08:59] <ay^> gluonman: I'm sorry but I have run out of ideas.. the only thing I could imagine would be to remount it with less options and see if any of those cause the error,
[08:59] <gluonman> ay^, alright. Thanks.
[08:59] <kija> wangchun: apt-get autoremove <package> then reinstall it.

[09:28] <halycon> Guys this is really dumb but I somehow managed to get archive roller associated with .exe files and I cannot figure out how to reassociate .exe files with wine.

[09:28] <quibbler__> ohletmeinnowgodd-try this http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_not_saved
[09:29] <toastedmilk> So, even after checking linuxselfhelp.com, linuxmint.com's wiki, and ubuntu's grubhowto, I'm still having grub issues with Error 22 and command-line grub issues with Error 27! Help!!

[09:29] <TokenBad> anyone after doing upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 get this: no resume image doing normal boot..and it just drops to terminal asking for logon and pass?
[09:30] <ay^> halycon: I think you can change that in the settings for a file
[09:30] <EMPulse>  Hey guys, what database program would you recommended in Ubuntu?
[09:31] <ay^> halycon: right click a .exe and chose properties, then go to tab Open with and choose wine
[09:31] <toastedmilk> I need help with repairing grub.  I'm receiving Error 22 and in the command line on a live cd I'm receiving Error 27. Can someone help?

[09:31] <unop> EMPulse, what sort of database?
[09:32] <EMPulse> unop, I dunno, one sorta like wikipedia, articles with information
[09:32] <quibbler__> halycon-right click on a exe file choose properties - open with - and delete everthing not wine -if wine is not there add it.
[09:32] <toastedmilk> I need help with repairing grub.  I'm receiving Error 22 and in the command line on a live cd I'm receiving Error 27. Can someone help?
[09:32] <unop> EMPulse, that's not a 'database' - it's a wiki - there are quite a few around, mediawiki, blooki, twiki, wikiwiki, etc
[09:33] <aksci> anyway we can get voice conversation on yaho
[09:34] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: maybe the command for selecting the root partition is wrong. when the boot loader comes up, select your ubuntu and press "e" (edit)... tell me, what the line similar to hd(1,0) says
[09:34] <EMPulse> EMPulse, yeah, but I want a database implementation of it, because the data can be more easily extracted that way.
[09:35] <ohletmeinnowgodd> lol i cant add bookmarks
[09:35] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: the boot loader on the live cd?
[09:35] <ohletmeinnowgodd> and i found a really bookmark-worthy site
[09:35] <ohletmeinnowgodd> lol
[09:35] <EMPulse> unop, yeah, but I want a database implementation of it, because the data can be more easily extracted that way.
[09:35] <izmaelis> hy, guise
[09:35] <unop> EMPulse, mediawiki uses mysql (if i remember right)
[09:35] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: wait a sec. your live cd wont boot either?
[09:36] <dirtyhawk> unop: correct
[09:36] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: no, I'm booted on it
[09:36] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: just making sure that's what you were asking
[09:36] <EMPulse> unop, oh cool, thanks, can I install mediawiki on a USB or do I need apache server for that?
[09:36] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: how does the error 27 come up?
[09:36] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: setup (hd0)
[09:36] <Guillem> I'm facing problems with the last update of Evolution (did it come from backports perhaps?): from time to time spends a lot of time "saving folder"
[09:36] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: your drive might just not be hd0
[09:37] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: I'm gonna check my BIOS
[09:37] <dirtyhawk> EMPulse: you need a webserver (e.g. Apache2) and a MySQL-Server of course
[09:37] <toastedmilk> well find /boot/grub/stage1 returns (hd0, 0)
[09:37] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: the numbering might change, especially if you change your hardware or the bios boot order
[09:37] <izmaelis> anyone has exp with redirecting IPTV multicast IGMP from WAN to LAN on ubuntu router with shorewall?
[09:37] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: I just deleted a partition
[09:37] <aksci> anyway we can get voice conversation on yaho
[09:38] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: thats not the case, i meant. shouldnt matter. of course, only if you didnt delete your ubuntu
[09:38] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: An extra partition of ubuntu that I used to re-mount my hdd
[09:38] <toastedmilk> hmw_pidgin: nope.  I'm restarting now. cross your fingers
[09:38] <korogiannos> toastedmilk: I've just joined, what was your problem? I think I had something similar with a dual boot when I changed my boot order.  is tha the problem?
[09:38] <toastedmilk> korogiannos: uh.
[09:39] <hmw_pidgin> toastedmilk: as i understood, you cant put grub to your hard drive anymore. boot from hd and try hd(0,...) instead of hd(1,...) or vice versa (error 22)
[09:40] <toastedmilk> korogiannos: It's like this-I deleted /dev/sda2(containing /dev/sda6-my second linux partition, /dev/sda5-a linux-swap, and /dev/sda7-also a linux swap. I unmounted /dev/sda2, made sure /dev/sda1 had the 'boot' flag, and restarted. I got Grub Error 22.
[09:43] <korogiannos> toastedmilk: If I'm not mistaken it's a matter of changing /boot/grub/menu.lst  to use another (hd0,1)  I played with the numbers and got everything to work fine.
[09:44] <hmw_pidgin> korogiannos: thats what i was trying to make him try
[09:45] <korogiannos> hmw_pidgin: Sorry, I joined halfway through : )
[09:45] <hmw_pidgin> korogiannos: this was not a flame *g*
[09:45] <notfreeBSD> hello, i installed nessusd, nessus and nessus-plugins, now when i try to run nessus from the command line, I'm getting gtk warning cannot open display, how do I use it form the CLI?
[09:46] <hmw_pidgin> korogiannos: i installed 7.10 and it configured my menu.lst with my drives swapped for no apparent reason.
[09:46] <SlimeyPete> you using SATA + PATA?
[09:46] <hmw_pidgin> notfreeBSD: looks like you will have to run it from a terminal within X or to pass it extra parameters to not use the GUI
[09:47] <error404notfound> with this configuration: http://pastebin.ca/1268469 I can ping all internet domains, but not anyone on my lan for which this dns server is master. any idea why?
[09:47] <lianimator> how do I share files on a local network with an XP computer from Ibex?
[09:47] <notfreeBSD> hmw_pidgin, I'm reading man but it doesnt have any params for CLI only?
[09:47] <tparcina> debmirror - should I use -m (--md5sums) or not?
[09:47] <transporter> guys did u hear about the bombay bombings
[09:47] <hmw_pidgin> notfreeBSD: i only saw a windows version once. are you sure, it is capable of running without graphics?
[09:47] <SlimeyPete> there was (is?) a bug in the grub setup script which caused it to swap the drive IDs when using SATA and PATA in the same system. I suffered from it for two or three iterations of Ubuntu IIRC.
[09:48] <tparcina> in debmirror man page they say it's paranoid and slow, but I allways check MD5 sum, so why not to do it on local mirror?
[09:48] <notfreeBSD> hmw_pidgin, absolutely, I have it set up by somebody else on another machine
[09:48] <hmw_pidgin> SlimeyPete: was that a question?
[09:48] <SlimeyPete> hmw_pidgin: it was more a comment on "i installed 7.10 and it configured my menu.lst with my drives swapped for no apparent reason.
[09:48] <SlimeyPete> "
[09:48] <hmw_pidgin> notfreeBSD: did it work before? does it need to be compiled with certain switches? sorry, thats all i can tell you for now.
[09:49] <hmw_pidgin> SlimeyPete: ah - thanks
[09:49] <C0p3rn1c> am I the only one who is having problems with firefox 3? My tabs somtimes don't work well
[09:50] <tparcina> debmirror - is anyone using this program?
[09:50] <hmw_pidgin> C0p3rn1c: change your nick to something easier to type, if you want a beep, when someone answers you *g*. My firefox 3 is working properly. did you install addons?
[09:51] <Gumby> Hi all.  Ive just updated to 8.10 from 8.04 and I am trying to install mythtv-common but am getting an error of dpkg: error processing mythtv-common (--configure):  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[09:51] <Gumby> anyone know how to fix this?  Its not a package conflict
[09:51] <pc05><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:52] <C0p3rn1c> hmw_pidgin: No I did not, I did however start to use compiz-fusion again, but compiz-benchmark says I have 184 fps, so that shouldn't be a problem in the performance part
[09:52] <hmw_pidgin> C0p3rn1c: describe the problem with a little more detail, pls
[09:53] <notfreeBSD> hmw_pidgin, this is new installation, but I have what I want on another machine
[09:53] <robf> I mounted an ntfs share earlier,   and now trying to access the mount point results in this "ls: cannot open directory .: Transport endpoint is not connected"
[09:53] <hmw_pidgin> Gumby: maybe complete de- and reinstall might do it
[09:53] <robf> how can I rectify this as I cannot umount it nor remount it
[09:53] <C0p3rn1c> hmw_pidgin: well when I'm surfing the web, I switch between tabs regualary but now when I click on an other tab, it just doesnt switch untill I click a second time
[09:54] <tech0007> robf: even as root?
[09:54] <robf> tech0007: yep
[09:54] <Gumby> hmw_pidgin: already done.  I think I might have found something in launchpad
[09:54] <hmw_pidgin> robf: there is some "force" switch to mount. RTFM. or reboot
[09:54] <robf> hmw_pidgin: remounting it with --force does not work
[09:54] <robf> tried already
[09:54] <error404notfound> with this configuration: http://pastebin.ca/1268469 I can ping all internet domains, but not anyone on my lan for which this dns server is master. any idea why?
[09:54] <hmw_pidgin> robf: unmounting also?
[09:55] <robf> yep
[09:55] <Copernic> hmw_pidgin: I renamed my nick, but normally you can just type C0<tab> to get my nick you know :)
[09:55] <hmw_pidgin> Copernic: thanks. it was just, that i had to try different combos, until i found your name with tab
[09:55] <Gumby> hmw_pidgin: it wouldnt install because the mythtv user already existed.  Now thats a pretty poorly written install script if you ask me
[09:55] <tech0007> robf: is that local or over the netwrk?
[09:55] <hmw_pidgin> Gumby: might be. sorry.
[09:55] <robf> hmw_pidgin:  though oddly when using -f ,   the resulting error instead of two umount: /home/robf/mnt: device is busy errors,  one has umount2 in place...which is just strange but
[09:55] <robf> tech0007: local
[09:56] <hmw_pidgin> Copernic: i am puzzled. did you google for the symptoms already?
[09:56] <tech0007> robf: maybe its being used by a process
[09:56] <robf> hrm
[09:56] <jamil_13579> I can't run the apt-get Command. Terminal Says no such Command
[09:56] <robf> but I don't know how.   as i can't even use it
[09:56] <Copernic> hmw_pidgin: not yet, good idea, I will do it now
[09:57] <VistaUser> hey
[09:57] <VistaUser> anyone there
[09:57] <hmw_pidgin> robf: i dont know umount2?  - maybe some shell is in this dir or a window showing its (deprecated) contents or there is really a
[09:57] <tech0007> robf: logout / login or reboot
[09:57] <primoz> hello there
[09:57] <robf> well yeah,  I didn't really want to do that.   While that will of course fix the issue,   the problem and its cause still is there which is more of my concern
[09:57] <primoz> i am having problems with sound with my capture tv card
[09:57] <hmw_pidgin> robf: file opened, or a lock is left over by accident. a reboot should fix it, but thats not a pretty solution. i had a similar problem once
[09:57] <primoz> video works just fine, but there is no sound
[09:58] <primoz> could someone help me please
[09:58] <robf> hmw_pidgin: exactly,  I don't like messy solutions
[09:58] <robf> isn't there a command to show current flocks?
[09:58] <hmw_pidgin> robf: find out, how you can look which process is locking the dir. or kill what looks like it might be accessing
[09:58] <jamil_13579> any help ?
[09:59] <maco> how do i make the text bigger in midori?
[09:59] <hmw_pidgin> jamil_13579: tell me the output of "which apt-get"
[10:00] <robf> hmw_pidgin:  it looks to be something wonky with fuse though
[10:00] <sug1> whats the command for sleep?  as in wait?  EX: echo fun time && wait 260 && echo end
[10:00] <robf> hmw_pidgin: is there a list of the most recently updated files
[10:00] <jamil_13579>  sudo apt-get install blender
[10:00] <jamil_13579> sudo: apt-get: command not found
[10:00] <maco> sug1: um, it's sleep
[10:00] <robf> cos thinking back I had it mounted and then later update notifier had a ton of things to update
[10:00] <Copernic> hmw_pidgin: now that I think about it, I think it's a compiz-fusion problem, because it looks more like a redrawing issue(I also experience this sometimes in the file explorer)
[10:00] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: sleep.
[10:01] <robf> and I'm wondering if it updated something that wasn't directly in use thus in memory but is called when I try to access it,  so it may have gotten versions all jacked up
[10:01] <sug1> hmw_pidgin:  maco: it's measured in seconds right?
[10:01] <tech0007> jamil_13579: try 'sudo /usr/bin/apt-get'
[10:01] <hmw_pidgin> Copernic: verify it by turning off compiz. install "fusion-icon" for convenient switching
[10:01] <Copernic> hmw_pidgin: or it's just my new nvidia beta drivers
[10:01] <ziroday> maco: AFAIK you can't. The people in #midori are likely to know though :)
[10:01] <robf> so whatever is currently running is trying to call something no longer there.
[10:01] <jamil_13579> jamil@jamil-desktop:~$ sudo /usr/bin/apt-get
[10:01] <jamil_13579> sudo: /usr/bin/apt-get: command not found
[10:01] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: yes. afair you may define floating point values, too
[10:01] <robf> jamil_13579: what did you do O.o
[10:02] <Copernic> hmw_pidgin: I'm using the beta drivers because I can't the stable ones to work anymore :(
[10:02] <robf> can you not just run it sans the path there?
[10:02] <tech0007> jamil_13579: whats the output of 'which apt-get'?
[10:02] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: i am sorry, but i don't undesrstand what you mean.
[10:02] <robf> jamil_13579: locate apt-get
[10:02] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: you might give it a half second with: sleep 0.5
[10:02] <pan> anyone that can help me get sound to work for firefox32 64 bit?
[10:03] <pan> for flash?
[10:03] <jamil_13579> jamil@jamil-desktop:~$ which apt-get
[10:03] <jamil_13579> jamil@jamil-desktop:~$
[10:03] <tech0007> jamil_13579: 'locate apt-get'
[10:03] <jamil_13579> jamil@jamil-desktop:~$ locate apt-get
[10:03] <jamil_13579> jamil@jamil-desktop:~$
[10:03] <dvd^bitbucket> jamil.. how gay is that. :D
[10:03] <robf> hmw_pidgin:  here's something crazy
[10:04] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: nice. so if wanted to wait 2 mins and 30 secs. i could just do 2.30??
[10:04] <hmw_pidgin> tech0007: jamil_13579: which apt-get told us, that it seems not to be there
[10:04] <robf> ls of the directory where that mnt point is
[10:04] <robf> d????????? ? ?    ?       ?                ? mnt
[10:04] <maco> ziroday: ok thanks
[10:04] <robf> O.o wtf is this
[10:04] <jamil_13579> I think the same
[10:04] <HalphaZ> hello
[10:04] <tech0007> hmw_pidgin: which is impossible in a standard ubuntu install
[10:04] <ziroday> jamil_13579: apt-get just doesn't remove itself. You must have run or done something to do that yourself. The easiest way is to reinstall
[10:04] <HalphaZ> I need help, please
[10:04] <ziroday> maco: sorry couldn't help you out more
[10:04] <jamil_13579> How can I reinstall
[10:04] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: that would be 20 1/3 seconds. you have to use 20*60+30=sleep 1230
[10:04] <maco> ziroday: i didnt know there was a channel
[10:04] <HalphaZ> My audio doesn't work
[10:05] <robf> HalphaZ: why not?
[10:05] <tech0007> !install | jamil_13579
[10:05] <robf> HalphaZ: what're you using
[10:05] <ziroday> maco: by the way if its greyed out it means that it still has to be implemented (or thats what they told me last time)
[10:05] <hmw_pidgin> tech0007: jamil_13579 techs' question is interesting. did you reboot your machine already, jamil?
[10:05] <robf> tech0007:  having to reinstall the system is a bit overkill ja?
[10:05] <HalphaZ> It worked till I disinstalled a packet: alsa-drivcer-linuxant
[10:05] <jamil_13579> not yet
[10:05] <HalphaZ> I used it in hardy to make the 56k modem work
[10:05] <hmw_pidgin> jamil_13579: try now.
[10:05] <robf> hmw_pidgin: did ya see the ls -l of mnt?
[10:06] <HalphaZ> but with intrepid the modem doesn't work and I disinstalled the packet
[10:06] <HalphaZ> now audio doesn0t work and the packet doesn't install
[10:06] <ziroday> maco: but the default ubuntu version is likely to be out of date, you might end up having to compile a newer or svn version
[10:06] <hmw_pidgin> robf: no?
[10:06] <robf> d????????? ? ?    ?       ?                ? mnt
[10:06] <robf> thats what it looks like
[10:06] <HalphaZ> :,(
[10:06] <robf> I've NEVER seen something like that
[10:06] <hmw_pidgin> robf: i see only question marks
[10:06] <robf> HalphaZ: package not packet
[10:06] <robf> hmw_pidgin: exactly
[10:06] <robf> thats how itl ooks
[10:06] <FloodBot3> robf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:06] <hmw_pidgin> robf: wow
[10:06] <HalphaZ> *package (sorry for my poor english :,()
[10:07] <robf> HalphaZ: no worries may just make for confusion in an answer
[10:07] <HalphaZ> ok :-)
[10:07] <hmw_pidgin> robf: either something in the filesystem broken or another glitch. i would reboot now. still not the most pretty solution
[10:07] <robf> hmw_pidgin: yeh :(
[10:08] <hmw_pidgin> robf: remember not to flood - lol
[10:08] <nikin> hy .. how can i get the plain old allcontaining xorg.conf back? i want to make some resolution settings
[10:08] <robf> hmw_pidgin:  I know... heh
[10:08] <hmw_pidgin> floodbot a bit cranky today, eh?
[10:08] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: is there a way to type something on my computer.  EX: I want my command to sleep for 5 seconds and type in the word hi.  not in the command , btu as  if i was sitting there typing it in.
[10:08] <HalphaZ> probably I need install a package... but I don't know what package
[10:08] <robf> hmw_pidgin: nah I just hit enter a bit too often ....
[10:09] <ziroday> sug1: which program would you want it typed in?
[10:09] <robf> HalphaZ: lspci  and check what model of sound card you use,  then google for the drivers it uses,  then search for that package
[10:09] <ReXio> hi, guys, I need help with a modem router, gateway, I need to make it work on ubuntu with usb; any idea where to get a working driver?
[10:09] <Copernic> Ubuntu tweak: performance management: why are the peformance settings default on 85% and not 100% when I'm not using my battery?
[10:09] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: you want the word "hi" output after 5 secs delay?
[10:09] <sug1> ziroday: lol, my video game/wine
[10:09] <robf> Copernic: to be more green!
[10:09] <robf> rebooting...
[10:10] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: yes within wine application
[10:10] <HalphaZ> ok... I'm trying
[10:10] <sug1> ziroday: hmw_pidgin: i am using a bash/script file
[10:10] <Copernic> robf: damn tree huggers ! :p
[10:10] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: "sleep 5 && echo "hi"
[10:10] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: without the first "
[10:11] <nikin> how can i get the plain old xorg,conf and the reconfigure back?
[10:11] <daipv><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:11] <daipv> hi,every body
[10:11] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: in a script file you just write sleep 1 (NEW LINE) echo "hi"
[10:12] <Mischiefbec> Hi there... anyone got any idea about using wine?
[10:12] <dirtyhawk> ^/quit
[10:12] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: it didn't worked. it didn't input it into my wine.  but it still came up in the terminal
[10:12] <hmw_pidgin> !ask | Mischiefbec
[10:12] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: ah, you want a text virtually entered as if the user typed it?
[10:13] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: yes.  oops, sorry i thought i made that clear o.0
[10:13] <Mischiefbec> Right... I'm trying to install microsoft office on wine and when it nears the end of installation each time it comes back with an error... all the progams are listed but non will open
[10:13] <nikin> Mischiefbec: put it in to a pan.. heat it up add some spices orange and lemon peal.. and thats tasty :D for anything else winehq contains per program descriptions
[10:13] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: i cant tell you how this is done. sry.
[10:13] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: oh darn.  hahahh thansk for the help though. :D
[10:13] <core7_> chea....

[10:13] <hmw_pidgin> Mischiefbec: which wine version, which ubuntu?
[10:14] <HalphaZ> what package should I install?
[10:14] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: do you know how I may research somethign like this though?
[10:14] <Mischiefbec> wine 1.1.9 and ubuntu 8.10
[10:16] <hmw_pidgin> sug1: not really... maybe (some or all of the) keywords: redirect input from file to wine appliction, send message to wine, signal to wine, etc
[10:16] <Neaai> I was wondering is there overhead for the ethernet interface when it works in promiscuous mode when compared to normal mode?
[10:16] <VistaUser> how i get wine?
[10:17] <hmw_pidgin> VistaUser: sudo apt-get install wine
[10:17] <VistaUser> ty
[10:17] <sug1> hmw_pidgin: thanks :D
[10:18] <Mischiefbec> wine 1.1.9 and ubuntu 8.10
[10:20] <helloworld> anyone know if the the php gtk package is available on intrepid?
[10:20] <mgolisch> helloworld: packages.ubuntu.com ?
[10:20] <jeancalvin> how can i tell whether my iPod connected to my ubuntu box is FAT or NFS format?
[10:21] <mgolisch> it cant have nfs format
[10:21] <mgolisch> nfs is a networkfilesystem
[10:21] <helloworld> its not there mgolisch.   bit surprising really.. php gtk has been around for ages.
[10:21] <jeancalvin> mgolisch: i see. does this mean my ipod is FAT?
[10:22] <jeancalvin> mgolisch: is there a way to confirm?
[10:22] <jeancalvin> mgolisch:  I check in Nautilus, and it says that the iPod is of "msdos" Filesystem type.
[10:22] <korogiannos> mgolisch: did you format it with windows or mac when you 1st got it?
[10:22] <jeancalvin> korogiannos: you talking to me?
[10:22] <Demios1> I'm new to ubuntu, right now I have a problem getting a sound blaster to work, I can get sound off the on-board sound card but not the PCI one, they both seem to be installed but also under the system->administration->sound I can get test sounds only from the on-board
[10:23] <jeancalvin> korogiannos: if so, my ipod has not touched a mac.
[10:23] <korogiannos> FAT then
[10:23] <jeancalvin> korogiannos: is there a way to check via ubuntu/terminal?
[10:23] <ziroday> Neaai: how can a ethernet interface have a promiscuous mode? It just connects the the network its plugged into
[10:23] <jeancalvin> korogiannos: and if an ipod has touched a mac, then it's NFS? but mgolisch says no iPod can be NFS.
[10:24] <ziroday> jeancalvin: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[10:24] <korogiannos> jeancalvin: not NFS, but... sec, let me google
[10:24] <tech0007> jeancalvin: try 'sudo fdisk -l'
[10:24] <Neaai> ziroday: It is put into promiscuous mode when I run software like iptraf and etherape
[10:24] <korogiannos> jeancalvin:HFS
[10:24] <ziroday> Neaai: ah right, sorry was being thick. I imagine that the overhead would be very small
[10:25] <jeancalvin> tech0007: ziroday http://pastebin.com/m792b6a5d
[10:25] <ziroday> jeancalvin: I presume your ipod is 30 GB?
[10:25] <jeancalvin> the reason why i'm trying to figure out my iPod's format is because  my iPod is SO SO slow when I use a / any program to access it.
[10:25] <jeancalvin> ziroday: yes my ipod is 30 GB.
[10:25] <ziroday> jeancalvin: then that is fat32
[10:25] <korogiannos> jeancalvin: it's FAT
[10:25] <tech0007> jeancalvin: its FAT32
[10:26] <korogiannos> FAT32* ; p
[10:26] <ardchoille> How do folks make flash movies of their desktop like I see on youtube?
[10:26] <jeancalvin> korogiannos: tech ziroday thank you. Thank yOu, and thank yoU.
[10:26] <Neaai> ziroday: so I guess that overhead is neglectable and won't matter for the interface's performance.
[10:26] <jeancalvin> is there a way to find out why my iPod is slow when I try to do anything with it with a program such as gtkpod?
[10:26] <ziroday> Neaai: that would be my opinion
[10:27] <jeancalvin> any little click i do in gtkpod makes my CPU go 100% usage.
[10:27] <ziroday> ardchoille: you can use recordmydesktop and upload it to youtube.
[10:27] <ziroday> !screencast > ardchoille
[10:27] <ardchoille> ziroday: Ah, thank you :)
[10:28] <ArgSTOPRefUpdate> Could I get a redirect to the proper location to get an answer to this problem?  OpenOffice 2.4.1 calc: I have formulas that I -always- want to point at a specific cell, REGUARDLESS of cutting/pasting involving said cell.  Even with $C$R it STILL tracks the origional cell so the formulas do not function as desired.
[10:28] <dddfhree> i have a wintv usb tv-card, but i cant get it work. lsusb recognizes it, but tvtime says no signal. any idea
[10:30] <LoveGuru> I Just want to start my "grub" i boot with ubuntu-server.iso im at the prompt now. there is Just 5 options " Install Ubuntu Server " Check Cd For defects" Test memory " boot from first harddisk " rescue a broken system" what do i doo
[10:31] <ziroday> LoveGuru: start or reinstall grub?
[10:31] <robf_> hmw_pidgin: well I'm still wondering wtf happened
[10:31] <ArgSTOPRefUpdate> dddfhree: Basic start http://www.google.com/search?q=wintv+usb+linux+troubleshooting  No idea where to go as I've -never- gotten a USB tuner to work period.
[10:32] <LoveGuru> ziroday: sorry for my bad.. i want to start "gparted" i want to resize my partition
[10:32] <robf_> hmw_pidgin: do you thnk it may be that I had ntfs partition mounted,   then updated,  and perhaps something normally called by ntfs_3g or fuse was changed to a conflicting version that was not preloaded in memory by it's callers?
[10:32] <ArgSTOPRefUpdate> LoveGuru: Are you trying to install Ubuntu for the first time?  If you already went through the installer...  OK wait; can you describe what's on the hard drive right now, and what you want to do to it?
[10:33] <robf_> I see this as a possible happening as the other googled reasons behind it seem to be something crashing,  and me updating a load of stuff was the only difference today than other times and never befor has it crashed
[10:33] <hmw_pidgin> robf: tbh, i have no clue, but that sounds reasonable. it looks like someone forgot to delete a lock file.
[10:33] <robf_> hmw_pidgin:  yeah except a lock doesn't account for the enpoint error
[10:33] <LoveGuru> ArgSTOPRefUpdate: well i do have ubuntu-server in that partition.. so how i made partition small.. now i want to resize that partition just.
[10:33] <busfahrer> My sound in Ubuntu 8.10 (on a ThinkPad R61) mysteriously stopped working. Another distribution I have installed in parallel still has sound, I'm thinking that pulse might be the problem since the other distribution doesn't use it. Any ideas?
[10:34] <hmw_pidgin> robf_: some stuff restarted with another context?
[10:34] <robf_> I can see it there occurring had it simply been that I couldnt umount it,  but that wasn't the only problem
[10:34] <robf_> yeh
[10:34] <robf_> maybe on update some of the parts restarted and lost there place
[10:34] <robf_> and then everything was just junked up from then on
[10:35] <jamil_13579> Is there a way of restoring ubuntu to some point back in time ? as in windows
[10:36] <a1len> Would anyone happen to know a good place to get psx iso's for Ubuntu?
[10:36] <Demios1> I'm new to ubuntu, right now I have a problem getting a sound blaster to work, I can get sound off the on-board sound card but not the PCI one, they both seem to be installed but also under the system->administration->sound I can get test sounds only from the on-board.. why isn't the sound blaster giving off sound?
[10:37] <EMPulse> hey
[10:37] <EMPulse> Does anyone know if there's a good tutoring on the internet that tells you how to install TOR?
[10:38] <LoveGuru> what is that?
[10:38] <Neaai> a1len: a psx iso remains a psx iso be it for ubuntu or anything else. I'd expect them to work regardless of platform. But getting those iso's is most probably illegal
[10:38] <SmokeyD> hey people. Is there an applet for gnome which allows me to quickly set an alarm on my desktop? Just to remember me "Don't forget lunch!" and stuff like that
[10:38] <TecR0c> hello, i have having troubles pinging my vista laptop from my linux desktop ?
[10:38] <SmokeyD> not a full featured calendar thingy, just a quick alarm
[10:38] <Jerusalem420>  how can I determine my  installation path of Mozilla
[10:39] <Jerusalem420> mozilla firefox
[10:39] <thefawk> your default calendar has that option smokeyd
[10:39] <SmokeyD> TecR0c: do you have windows firewall enabled?
[10:39] <Jerusalem420> i'm upgrading my flash plater
[10:39] <ArgSTOPRefUpdate> LoveGuru: I can't quite figure out what you were trying to say in your answer.
[10:39] <SmokeyD> Jerusalem420: all packages are installed in /usr
[10:39] <thefawk> jerusalem download firefox, and install it wherever you want it
[10:39] <SmokeyD> libraries in /usr/lib binaries in /usr/bin
[10:39] <Jerusalem420>  how can I determine my  installation path of Mozilla firefox? can i assume /usr/lib/mozilla
[10:39] <LoveGuru> ArgSTOPRefUpdate: i do have ubuntu server in that partition i just want to resize that partition . that its.
[10:40] <TecR0c> SmokeyD: yes i do
[10:40] <thefawk> firefox comes installed at /usr/lib/firefox/
[10:40] <TecR0c> but other devices on my network can also ping my vista box
[10:40] <TecR0c> part from linux
[10:40] <rofrol> hello
[10:40] <Neaai> LoveGuru: you could boot with the ubuntu CD in live mode and use gparted from there.
[10:40] <huwenfeng> how can i stop firefox automatically load images?
[10:41] <rofrol> my usb mouse works after replug
[10:41] <icqnumber> Jerusalem420, type in gnome-terminal 'which firefox'
[10:41] <rofrol> how to start it automatically
[10:41] <rofrol> ?
[10:41] <SmokeyD> TecR0c: that could be the problem. Windows firewall could block the pings
[10:41] <LoveGuru> Neaai: how do i do?i didn't see any option there.. i just have 5 options.
[10:41] <thefawk> enable the usb support on your motherboard bios rofrol
[10:41] <huwenfeng> yes ,i hate the images , i just want to watch news, but there are too many images!
[10:41] <TecR0c> SmokeyD: Ok, give me one sec and will test it again.
[10:41] <SmokeyD> Jerusalem420: but with the command "dpkg -L firefox" or "dpkg -L firefox-3.0" you can see all installed files for that package
[10:41] <LoveGuru> Neaai: " Install Ubuntu Server " Check Cd For defects" Test memory " boot from first harddisk " rescue a broken system"  its Live Ubuntu-server iso
[10:41] <huwenfeng> i'd like to block all of them!
[10:42] <thefawk> use links huwenfeng, text-only browser
[10:42] <rofrol> thefawk, i have legacy peripherials > usb controller on
[10:42] <rofrol> but usb emulation off
[10:42] <Jerusalem420> thanks guys
[10:42] <e-frame> huwenfeng: adblock and flashblock
[10:42] <Neaai> LoveGuru: You basically grab the ubuntu cd and boot the machine with it. Ah server... not sure about that. But, you can save some time by getting the gparted livecd and do what you require with it. hold on...
[10:42] <DeviN> ok new problem, im trying to boot into ubuntu and im getting this. 'Gave up waiting for root device. commoc problems:  -boot args(cat /procs/cmdline) - check rootdelay -check root=  missing modules im in this busybox terminal and im pretty lost
[10:43] <SmokeyD> thefawk: yeah I can set appointments in the calendar. But that would require opening evolution and settings appointments in it
[10:43] <e-frame> glad to have my ubuntu cds delivered today
[10:43] <karbo> Hi, anyone know of a working SVN integration for Nautilus? I would love to have something like what's demonsrated in this YT video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vVGbYB9pb0
[10:43] <SmokeyD> I just want an applet that I can say "display a popup with some text in an hour" or something
[10:43] <VistaUser> how i use emerald?
[10:43] <SmokeyD> not use the whole calendar with appointments and stuff
[10:44] <Neaai> LoveGuru: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843&package_id=271779
[10:44] <VistaUser> anyone?
[10:44] <Neaai> LoveGuru: that's a 98M .iso
[10:44] <huwenfeng> OK, thank you , the image's gone , but i the flash's still there, i did not found a option i can select to block flashes,  how can i do that then?
[10:45] <Neaai> LoveGuru: it will allow you to boot with it and use gparted for what you want to resize or any other partition manipulation.
[10:45] <webas> hello..anyone can help me in this channel? although i have question about kubuntu :( and in that channel there are no active people

[10:46] <SmokeyD> no problem
[10:46] <gubuntu> hi 2 all can anybody help me how to create meetings appointments events and tasks using UBuntu????
[10:46] <Neaai> webas: does that happen as well when you login as another user ?
[10:46] <SmokeyD> the thing is, enable windows firewall and try to test the settings untill you can reach it from your ubuntu machine
[10:47] <SmokeyD> having the firewall enabled in windows is a good idea
[10:47] <Skaag> I've just upgraded my Ubuntu Server from Gutsy to Intrepid, and I have a problem with Locales
[10:47] <webas> yesterday i closed firefox from bottom..and all program icons dissapeared..
[10:47] <webas> there are no other users here to log in
[10:47] <VistaUser> how do i use wine??
[10:47] <Skaag> whenever I try to dpkg-reconfigure locales, it gets stuck. A ps shows that there's a defunct gzip operation hanging.
[10:47] <bullgard4> What does 'uf_show' stand for in /usr/local/src/gajim-011.4/src/common/helpers.py's line "uf_show = _('Free for Chat')"?
[10:47] <Neaai> webas: can't you add another right away and try ?
[10:48] <webas> im not sure i know how to create one :D
[10:48] <Garcon_> Hello. I need to add a range of IPs on a ubuntu server. On centos this was easy (http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/RangeOfIpsOnEthx), but how do i do it on ubuntu?
[10:49] <Neaai> webas: <ctrl>+<alt>+<f1> will give you a text login. Login as your normal user, then issue:  sudo adduser anotherusernamehere     Then logout from that text login and return to graphical again with <alt>+<f7> and try with the new user.
[10:50] <VistaUser> how do i use wine?
[10:50] <Garcon_> put it in a glass, drink it ^^
[10:51] <huwenfeng> shbika123_: OK, really thank you
[10:51] <ArgSTOPRefUpdate> LoveGuru: Very afk at the moment; So, you want to just resize a partition that has ubuntu server on it?  Do you know what filesystem it uses?  Do you know if you used GRUB or LILO for your boot loader?
[10:52] <shbika123_> huwenfeng : ur welcome
[10:52] <huwenfeng> i block the flash , and the images ,  now it's much better,  and my cpu usage is lower now
[10:52] <huwenfeng> IRC is really very good
[10:52] <webas> where to create new user ? :( :)
[10:52] <dns53> VistaUser first install it, then open a terminal and type wine application.exe, you may want to get wine doors or other gui wrapper if you are having problems

[10:54] <saftsack> hi, my network card stops working after some network traffic passed (intrepedid) server version. hardware is ok, tried different network cards.
[10:55] <arquebus> is there a way to get emacs to run inside the console like vim does?
[10:55] <saftsack> no error in syslog or dmesg
[10:55] <VistaUser> dns53 so wine is broken
[10:55] <dns53> arquebus i believe bash and other shells have an emacs hot key mode
[10:56] <arquebus> dns53: I dont understand how emacs hotkeys would function in an interpreter, emacs is an editor
[10:56] <dns53> VistaUser wine works great depending on the application you are running have a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/
[10:57] <VistaUser> ok
[10:57] <dns53> arquebus the terminal is capturing keyboard input
[10:57] <arquebus> dns53: interesting, never heard of that
[10:58] <arquebus> emacs does run quite nice when I go into an f4-f6 console mode
[10:58] <dns53> arquebus bash -o emacs (or vi )
[10:59] <VistaUser> how do i change my theme and stuff
[10:59] <VistaUser> its getting really boring
[10:59] <dns53> VistaUser system > prefferences > apperance
[11:00] <VistaUser> ty
[11:00] <arquebus> dns53: doesnt work
[11:00] <Garcon_> VistaUser, learn to use your brain
[11:00] <dns53> Garcon_ please play nice, there is no stupid question
[11:00] <VistaUser> lol
[11:00] <fenerli7> how can i switch windows (in gnome) when I am in an OpenGL game window (unreal tournament 2004 in this case) - alt-tab and ctrl-alt-d do not work
[11:01] <VistaUser> if u havent notice my name and the huge hint it gives
[11:01] <Garcon_> dns53, i'd argue.. some of the questions seem really retarded.. but then again
[11:01] <busfahrer> Excuse me, my sound in Ubuntu 8.10 (on a ThinkPad R61) mysteriously stopped working. Another distribution I have installed in parallel still has sound, I'm thinking that pulse might be the problem since the other distribution doesn't use it. Any ideas?
[11:01] <arquebus> VistaUser-download some gnome themes, there are really good ones out there if you search on the internet
[11:02] <gubuntu> yahoomail.com
[11:02] <shbika123_> VistaUser: www.gnome-look.org
[11:02] <VistaUser> ty
[11:02] <[Sarai]> I have a question about booting from a cd
[11:02] <ardchoille> !themes
[11:02] <[Sarai]> Do I just ask my question?
[11:02] <dns53> art.gnome.org is also good
[11:02] <dns53> !ask
[11:02] <Myrtti> [Sarai]: you just did
[11:02] <VistaUser> omh
[11:02] <sug1> i want the script file to pretend like it's typing.  i hope, if this works. I can have the script file wait for a short period and then i alt tab to my wine application (where i want the keys to be input into) and then have the script file type out "hi" or somethign and then I will see it within wine.
[11:02] <[Sarai]> Funny
[11:03] <Demios1> I'm new to ubuntu, right now I have a problem getting a sound blaster to work, I can get sound off the on-board sound card but not the PCI one, they both seem to be installed but also under the system->administration->sound I can get test sounds only from the on-board.. why isn't the sound blaster giving off sound?
[11:04] <[Sarai]> Okay, so I am trying out ubuntu. I want to boot it from the cd for a while to see if I like it. However, I assume the boot disk doesn't include much in the way of software. Can I download software and use it (i.e. openoffice) even though the os isn't installed on my harddrive?
[11:04] <dns53> sug1 look for windows applications that do that and see if they work, winedoors uses one of them during installing windows apps
[11:05] <david> hola
[11:05] <Guest31514> ques esto??
[11:05] <dns53> [Sarai] yes, you can install it to memory, it is wiped when you restart your computer without touching anything
[11:05] <Guest31514> nick david
[11:05] <[Sarai]> so I could isntall programs but I'd have to install them every time I restart my computer?
[11:05] <Guest31514> como cambio mi nick
[11:06] <huwenfeng> i got one more question,  is there any good application that i can listen to online radios in ubuntu?
[11:06] <Mutu> Hi, i have trouble with Hibernate/Suspend features on ubuntu on my IBM laptop. Can anyone help?Everything freezes when i try to resume
[11:06] <susquin7> yes there are. I listen with Tunapie or Streamtuner
[11:06] <dns53> [Sarai] yes if you are using the live cd, it is not touching the hard drive, instead it is creating a ram drive
[11:06] <Guest31514> ??
[11:06] <ardchoille> !es | Guest31514
[11:06] <sug1> dns53: i have not use winedoors before. what application does it use?  But really, my main goal for this is to use a script that would input it to the keyboard. so no matter what was up at the time it would type it int here. (IE: pidgin or openoffice.)
[11:06] <huwenfeng> susquin7: Tunapie and Streamtuner
[11:06] <huwenfeng> OK, i will try them
[11:07] <[Sarai]> And I would just install them like normal?
[11:07] <reefpolice> Video artifacts, 8.10 on older Dell Dimension 2100 with Intel 810 chipset?
[11:07] <dns53> sug1 i can't remember now, it is not installed on my current computer
[11:07] <dns53> [Sarai] yes, it is really useful sometimes
[11:08] <webas> is there a guy who remembers my problem? then i changed user..there icons in kmenu bottom line appears and its fine..only then im on my default user its all messed up..how to fix it?
[11:08] <VistaUser> what do i use to open these themes
[11:08] <[Sarai]> yes, it would be but I could also see why it could be somewhat frustrating. Well, hopefully i'll know right away if i like it enough to dual boot
[11:08] <huwenfeng> now i encounter a big problem, i delete all file in /var/cache/apt/archives,  then when i run aptitude update, it says like this: E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
[11:08] <huwenfeng> what can i do now?

[11:09] <harvey> Hi, Can anyone help or point me in the right direction. I recently upgraded to 8.10 and now VLC and movie player doesnt work. When I play movies it clicks every 3 or 4 secs, what can I do, it also wont play dvd.....?
[11:09] <dns53> webas your settings are in the hidden directories (they start with a . ) you could delete these hidden directories and files
[11:09] <Bog> what does this mean? * Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCDELRT: No such process
[11:09] <VistaUser> ty
[11:09] <ArgSTOPRefUpdate> Neaai: Nice link.  You might as well have linked the systemrecoverycd but... yeah
[11:09] <sug1> dns53: have you used any microsoft window's application that did those functions?
[11:09] <narendra_> I want to use vlock for gnome terminal. I open 2/3 terminal at a time and vlock -a from any one terminal.
[11:09] <narendra_> But it gives error "vlock: this terminal is not a virtual console".Can anyone please help me on this
[11:09] <webas> how to enable a view to see such folders..or to delete? only via terminal?
[11:09] <ardchoille> huwenfeng: you deleted something you shouldn't have, next time use:  sudo apt-get clean
[11:10] <huwenfeng> oh, i am sorry to hear that , so what can i do not?
[11:10] <huwenfeng> what can i do now?
[11:10] <huwenfeng> it seems aptitude does not work anymore.
[11:10] <[Sarai]> well, thanks
[11:11] <dns53> sug1 not for years, there are some applications around, look for software testing applications, they can be scripted with things like move mouse to x,y, wait x seconds, press button etc
[11:11] <ardchoille> huwenfeng: sudo mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
[11:11] <shbika123_> huwenfeng : sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
[11:11] <frucki> hey, iam running ubuntu 8.10 but wanna get rid of all the garbage that come with the release (games, office etc.)
[11:11] <dns53> webas ls -la, nautilus has a show hidden files option. i would not delete them but move them somewhere
[11:12] <frucki> can i deselect packages while in installing or can i choose the minimal server edition even its a desktop system?
[11:12] <jerknextdoor> frucki:  applications>add/remove
[11:12] <Mutu> Hi, i have trouble with Hibernate/Suspend features on ubuntu on my IBM laptop. Can anyone help?Everything freezes when i try to resume
[11:12] <sug1> dns53: darn, i was hoping for an actual fix, not a work around.  but thank you.
[11:12] <huwenfeng> OK, what does that dir do? partical? did i loose all my dependency data?
[11:12] <webas> there is only audacity audacious and adobe starting from .a letter..nothing else :\
[11:13] <dns53> frucki if you don't want everthing installed you should use the server install
[11:13] <ardchoille> huwenfeng: that dir on my machine is empty and my system works fine
[11:13] <jerknextdoor> frucki: or an alternate install that you can be more specific with
[11:13] <huwenfeng> ok, i am really a newbie in ubuntu
[11:13] <ardchoille> huwenfeng: it wouldn't hurt to do:  sudo apt-get update
[11:13] <frucki> i just wondered if the minimal server edition is suitable for desktop systems
[11:13] <frucki> saw smth like it uses some "server" kernel
[11:14] <ziroday> frucki: the server version has the server kernel, optimised for server environments.
[11:14] <ardchoille> frucki: server edition has no desktop environment, but you can install one
[11:14] <huwenfeng> ardchoille: there's some people saying  that we should use aptitude instead of apt-get? is that right?
[11:14] <ardchoille> huwenfeng: that's up to you I suppose
[11:15] <dns53> frucki you can install the server kernel, the normal desktop kernel and a real time kernel
[11:15] <frucki> doable for beginners?
[11:15] <frucki> does minimal server edition do network card configuration like the desktop edition does?
[11:16] <frucki> iam directly connected to the cable modem - in case server edition automatically detects network card with dhcp i would install windows manager n stuff later
[11:16] <dns53> frucki it's a ncurses menu system, it asks the same kind of questions but allows more options, give it a try
[11:16] <frucki> the server install you mean right, dns53?
[11:16] <ziroday> frucki: if you are a beginner then you should use the desktop edition. Why exactly do you want the server version?
[11:17] <dns53> frucki yes server and live cd, it will detect dhcp or you can set things manually
[11:17] <frucki> ah, fine then.
[11:17] <jerknextdoor> frucki: unless you have a reason to only install a few apps (then why are you using ubuntu and not damn small or a live cd?) then install it all and then uninstall what you don't want unless you can use a text based installer and only get what you want efficiently.
[11:18] <webas> there is only audacity audacious and adobe starting from .a letter..nothing else :\ dns53
[11:18] <frucki> after using desktop ubuntu from 8.04 i found that i only need a few programs
[11:18] <frucki> uninstalling all the programs is time consuming and annoying
[11:19] <dns53> webas hmm that is strange, there should be something there, you in the right account?
[11:19] <frucki> but right, i could even try the desktop edition with the text based installer
[11:19] <a1len> Is there a way to open .rar archives?
[11:19] <ziroday> !rar | a1len
[11:19] <webas> yes im in the right account.. in that one with problem... well if its easy i could try to downgrade this to 3.5final kde :) it would be also okay..
[11:20] <dns53> frucki dpkg --get-selections, and dpkg --set-selections is useful if you know what you want installed
[11:20] <a1len> Thanks ziroday
[11:20] <frucki> will have a look at it, thanks dns53
[11:20] <ziroday> a1len: have fun
[11:22] <huwenfeng> the tunapie just show the radio station , but when i choose one , and click the play button ,  it did not start
[11:23] <huwenfeng> the streamtuner , just say there is not "xmms" , no such file or directory,  failed to start child process
[11:23] <huwenfeng> but i can not install xmms
[11:23] <dns53> huwenfeng install xmm2
[11:24] <bazhang> !xmms
[11:24] <TecR0c> i cannot install irssi.. i have download it and typed ./configure then it says i require GLIB. so i downloaded GLIB 2.9 and gettext and when back to install irssi and it still says that it requires GLIB ?
[11:24] <bazhang> huwenfeng, consider audacious instead
[11:25] <lodder> Is there any idea on when dom0 will be available on intrid ibex ?
[11:26] <dns53> TecR0c that is available in apt, why are you compiling it?    run apt-get buld-dep package to get the dependencies required for compiling it
[11:26] <dns53> lodder i've not played around with xen, what is required for dom0?
[11:27] <lodder> well i've read on the forum that there isn't kernel support for xen dom0 so 8.10 is a xen server
[11:27] <VistaUser> cya
[11:28] <shbika123_> huwenfeng: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird   it's like Winamp
[11:28] <TecR0c> dns53: E: Invalid operation buld-dep
[11:29] <TecR0c> oh i forgot the package one sec
[11:29] <TecR0c> hrm no lluck
[11:29] <Demios1> I'm new to ubuntu, right now I have a problem getting a sound blaster to work, I can get sound off the on-board sound card but not the PCI one, they both seem to be installed but also under the system->administration->sound I can get test sounds only from the on-board.. why isn't the sound blaster giving off sound?
[11:30] <TecR0c> dns53: that command does not work for me
[11:30] <dns53> TecR0c it's build-dep and you will need to add the deb-src for all your apt sources, so copy the deb line and make it start with deb-src
[11:31] <huwenfeng> OK, it start to work,
[11:31] <TecR0c> dns53: where would i found the deb line ? would that be on their website ?
[11:31] <huwenfeng> tunapie still does not work
[11:32] <huwenfeng> just purge it , use streamtuner is enough
[11:34] <evhy> hai
[11:34] <dns53> TecR0c open up your /etc/apt/sources.list and for each line that starts with deb url copy it and make it deb-src url, you could also go system > administration > sources and click the source code box
[11:34] <arquebus> dns53: just found out, run emacs in a console with: emacs -nw
[11:35] <dns53> arquebus thanks, i just prefer the normal bash mappings and i use vim
[11:35] <Sharp_eyes> hi all
[11:35] <TecR0c> dns53: okay i got it to work, i was able to type apt-get build-deps irssi
[11:36] <Sharp_eyes> any body know that how to open rar files in ubuntu
[11:36] <dns53> !rar
[11:36] <jerknextdoor> sharp_eyes: rar!
[11:36] <Sharp_eyes> winrar
[11:36] <lodder> !7zip
[11:36] <lodder> !7z
[11:37] <Sharp_eyes> i hve to install this pakage name 7zip
[11:38] <erUSUL> Sharp_eyes: no you have to install rar or unrar
[11:38] <Sharp_eyes> how can'
[11:39] <amerj> pass123
[11:39] <Sharp_eyes> ??
[11:39] <imminentwill> sudo apt-get install unrar
[11:40] <jerknextdoor> sharp_eyes:  sudo apt-get install unrar
[11:43] <bonhoffer> i had the netbook remix and i uninstalled the launcher -- every window still maximizes -- anyone know how i can remove this feature and restore windows
[11:43] <Gto286> gee been awhile since i been here
[11:44] <huwenfeng> hi all , ubuntu get only two windows , can i add myself?
[11:44] <VSpike> How can I quickly find out what release I am running on a server?
[11:44] <dellubuntu> i have a shared drive that auto mounts on my other computers the entry in fstab is //computer/shareddrive	/media/shareddrive	cifs	user,uid=####,iocharset=utf#,codepage=unicode,unicode why isnt it mounting? what am i missing
[11:44] <huwenfeng> VSpike: uname -r
[11:44] <erUSUL> !software | Sharp_eyes
[11:45] <Sharp_eyes> erUSUL: thanks
[11:45] <Sharp_eyes> i hve done it from this link http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/unrar/download
[11:46] <erUSUL> Sharp_eyes: there is no need to do that... check the link ubotuu gave you
[11:46] <dellubuntu> !automount
[11:46] <frankaa> 18:30:25 2008
 hi, is there somehow i can do a complete reinstallation with default settings of the printer section in ubuntu 8.10?
 think i have messed it up
 got some problems when i tried to remove a network printer
[11:46] <FloodBot3> frankaa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
 it keep connecting to it even when it was deleted which caused freezes
[11:46] <dellubuntu> !mount
[11:46] <huwenfeng> you guys know that debian got four windows by default,  but ubuntu only get two , can i config this?
[11:47] <bonhoffer> VSpike, cat /etc/lsb-release
[11:47] <erUSUL> huwenfeng: 4 workspaces ? right click on the wrokspace changer and choose Preferences
[11:47] <huwenfeng> yes ,workspace
[11:48] <huwenfeng> Oh, it's really easy, thank you
[11:48] <VSpike> bonhoffer, huwenfeng : thanks
[11:49] <Gto286> i just got apache installed. but i don't have the user permissions to wrote/change anything in var/ or var/www
[11:50] <bonhoffer> does anyone know what maximus does -- how is it related to the netbook remix?
[11:50] <erUSUL> huwenfeng: no problem
[11:50] <dns53> Gto286 and it's a good idea, sudo -s and do the work you need to under sudo instead of granting yourselves too many permissions
[11:51] <erUSUL> !rootshell
[11:51] <dns53> bonhoffer it gives you a full screen window, with the remix you turn off title bars and have a gnome applet to switch windows
[11:51] <VSpike> Ahh.. was just trying to figure out why two 8.04 servers had different version of unison installed, but it's because one has backports enabled
[11:52] <bonhoffer> dns53, thanks so netbook remix is a ume control-panel/launcher and maximus takes away my titlebars and maximizes my windows?
[11:52] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[11:52] <dns53> bonhoffer yes, have a look at the screenshots
[11:53] <datta> how do i make my medias in firefox ubuntu to be loaded with real player nothing else?
[11:53] <huwenfeng> erUSUL: OK, there's another problem , can i change workspace without using my mouse?
[11:53] <lontara_dheash> newbie....
