[13:59] <athleone> jrib: I already have... http://paste.ubuntu.com/48299/ and sorry :(
[13:59] <jrib> athleone: that's a different command

[13:59] <fenerli7> jrib: the CD is fine as I installed ubuntu onto a different computer the day before without a problem

[14:38] <Ava1L> ActionParsnip: when i run the pppoeconf , it detects the eth0. It tries to get a response and cant get one so i dont get very far
[14:38] <rebel_kid> daniel_john, why would ubuntu need a virus scanner?
[14:38] <Gurney> rebel_kid:  /dev/sda3   ext3    35go   500mo use   34,5go dont use    boot
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> Ava1L: ive never used pppoe dude

[14:41] <jpfarias> I got a weird problem
[14:41] <Hackwar2> (Please don't kill me for crossposting this in #ubuntu and #ubuntustudio. :-) )
[14:41] <Hackwar2> hi people, I'm working at a university and we want to create a DVD to spread the OpenSource & Linux love among our students. :-) I want to use a distribution that provides the best possible set of features for our students and Ubuntu seems just right. Now I'm a big fan of Firefox and Thunderbird/Lightning and I'm a sucker that still uses windoze himself.
[14:41] <Hackwar2> I'd like to install both Firefox and Thunderbird on said DVD and create a folder with the win versions of the most basic OpenSource programs.
[14:41] <Hackwar2> Now the question: Is Ubuntu the right distro for me and how do I install the FF and Thunderbird packages into the ISO? I would be happy about any help. :-) (We want to create 1.000 DVDs and spread them among our 38.000 students. If its well received, we'll even produce more.)
[14:41] <FloodBot2> Hackwar2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:41] <jpfarias> I have an esxi server with a ubuntu server vm on it
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> Ava1L: no as it works with windows, its just a config thingy
[14:41] <jpfarias> turns out the disk access on it is too slow
[14:41] <Ava1L> : ActionParsnip: yes , i do :) . I try to (but if theres a way to do it do tell)
[14:41] <jpfarias> any idea how to improve the disk access?
[14:41] <Gurney> yes and after rebel_kid ? it's just a flag ?
[14:41] <Gurney> i can move it ?
[14:41] <bazhang> !remaster | Hackwar2
[14:42] <Hackwar2> Thank you!! :-)
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> Ava1L: no idea dude, ive always used a router do i get my traffic router through that via my class c lan
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> !pppoe
[14:42] <rebel_kid> gurney, just a flag, you can edit the flags
[14:42] <Ava1L> i see
[14:43] <ole3475> i'm having problems with synaptic package manager. this is what it's telling me: E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg-- configure -a' to correct the problem. E:_cache->open() failed, please report. Can anyone help me please!!!!
[14:43] <ozpowermo> Hi everybody, is there any way to move my existing ubuntu installation to another partition? Or maybe a way I can back up ALL of my installed programs and settings and then load them on a new ubuntu installation on the other partition?
[14:43] <rebel_kid> hey i got a problem with grub not being installed with ubuntu, could that be the install disc
[14:43] <Gurney> oki so it's not the boot
[14:43] <Gurney> just a flag
[14:43] <bazhang> !clone | ozpowermo
[14:44] <discobiscuit> hello all
[14:44] <bazhang> or !home ozpowermo
[14:44] <jvr> apparantely i'm meant to have "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-lisbane.rules" but it does not exist, ive installed brscan2... any ideas ?
[14:44] <Gurney> thank you
[14:44] <ole3475> is there anyone who saw what i wrote and can help me?????

[14:44] <discobiscuit> I'm having a few problems with grub on a usb disk if anyone has a bit of time to help

[14:45] <ActionParsnip> !rdp
[14:45] <Pici> ole3475: What happens when you that command?
[14:45] <bazhang> ozpowermo, that is what clone means :)
[14:45] <Ava1L> I mean im not 100% this router is dhcp , im just presuming. It seems like the best option and has a picture of a dsl phoneline (lol). But yeah im totally over it tonight i might give it a go tomorrow. Ill slowly learn a thing or two. Hopefully i can get it working... and if i can get it working , than a baby elephant can probably do it aswell. Cheers for your help.. I understood a few words lol
[14:45] <ole3475> pici in a terminal??
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> !rdesktop | sushiX
[14:46] <Pici> ole3475: yes, prefix it with sudo thoughj
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> !info rdesktop | sushiX
[14:46] <ole3475> well i tried that, but i don't think i'm doing it right
[14:46] <ozpowermo> bazhang: but I have to have an existing installation of ubuntu on the other partition already, is that correct?
[14:46] <ole3475> wanted to see if someone could spend some time and help me with it
[14:46] <Pici> ole3475: What happens when you try it?
[14:46] <sushiX> ok thanx a lot
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> np sushiX
[14:47] <ole3475> hold on and I'll try pici and tell you what it tells me ok

[14:51] <ActionParsnip> ubuntunub: yes without the 's
[14:51] <ubuntunub> kthnx
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ubuntunub: you can tab complte if you want
[14:52] <Ruben> Actionparsnip how do you mean?
[14:52] <hejux001> hi
[14:52] <hejux001> anybody using irssi ?
[14:53] <Pici> hejux001: Many people.
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> Ruben: vlc doesnt just see the subtitle file, you need to go into the config and set the file
[14:53] <pvh_sa|wrk> heya... does ubuntu strip its libraries by default? because i'm trying to see the symbols in some (libodbc, etc) but it says no symbols
[14:53] <craxie> hejux001 I have tried and liked it
[14:53] <Ruben> Action that I have tried
[14:53] <rebel_kid> hejux001 all any irc fan should use :)
[14:53] <Ruben> Actionparsnip  that I have tried
[14:54] <Bikerbob> woo hoo.. found it.. and copied.. now lets see if I can get this one to run!
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> pvh_sa|wrk: i think if you use file /path/to/file then itll say if its stripped or not
[14:54] <info_> there is standing i cant remove cause Read-only filesystem
[14:54] <jrib> pvh_sa|wrk: yeah, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
[14:54] <craxie> There are so many good irc clients for linux though
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Ruben: thats all i got man, sorry
[14:55] <pvh_sa|wrk> thanks ActionParsnip, jrib
[14:55] <Bikerbob> nice thing about things not working is you get to learn alot of using your bash shell! lol
[14:55] <info_> with gparted i deleted the filesystem i think there is no filesystem left
[14:55] <info_> but there is standingnow read-only filesystem
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Ruben: you could try man vlc
[14:55] <citizen42alpha> is there a way to force installing from source through synaptic ?
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Ruben: i dont use it mself so im not much use
[14:56] <craxie> Bikerbob that's not the first thing goes through your mind though when it happens :)
[14:56] <info_> I NEED HELP
[14:56] <bazhang> Ruben, the srt file has to have the exact same name as the vid and be in the same folder iirc
[14:56] <Ruben> Actionparsnip I am using Vlc
[14:56] <jrib> info_: pressing caps lock again fixes that
[14:57] <Ruben> Bazhang I know it works in Windows
[14:57] <Decepticon> how do i create my own rss feed
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> citizen42alpha: you dont install source via synaptic, you can download source or install binarys
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> citizen42alpha: you compile source then install
[14:57] <nevagonnagiveuup> I won't use ubuntu again. "Debian: You can never be sure"
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> citizen42alpha: usually the thing you are compiling is in repos
[14:57] <DaveG|> Hi, i'm trying to get mod_cband to run on apache2 under hardy, but it seems that mod_cband isn't supported anymore by.. anyone.. Are there any alternatives to mod_cband ?
[14:57] <citizen42alpha> ActionParsnio: sorry, I am rather new to ubuntu specifically.
[14:57] <info_> I NEED HELP ^^
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> info_: just ask
[14:58] <nevagonnagiveuup> how do you know there aren't any other huge holes in debian?
[14:58] <Bikerbob> info_: ask
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> citizen42alpha: what do you want to install?
[14:58] <bazhang> nevagonnagiveuup, not the channel for you
[14:58] <craxie> nevagonnagiveuup no one really knows that about any os
[14:58] <craxie> Look at the safari bug on Mac
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> nevagonnagiveuup: there are holes in all OSes, this is offtopic
[14:58] <craxie> The UAC bypass bug on Vista
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> !ot | nevagonnagiveuup
[14:58] <info_> my datasystem ic iso9660 its an image on my usbstick
[14:59] <VagaWork> s there any way I can get 32 bit openoffice installed even if I have 64bit ubuntu?
[14:59] <VagaWork> *is
[14:59] <craxie> nevagonnagiveuup they are all on Secunia
[14:59] <info_> i wanna delet the things on my usb stick
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> VagaWork: install ia32-libs
[14:59] <info_> but it says read only datasystem
[14:59] <citizen42alpha> ActionParsnip: Nothing, I were just curious as to the possibilities of moving ubuntu away from the binary-only mentality alot of folks hold.
[14:59] <bazhang> info_, did you remove uncleanly from windows?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> citizen42alpha: sure, install build-essential and compile away
[14:59] <Strang3r> hey guys, look this screenshot ----> http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotrd6.png
[14:59] <info_> OHH GOOD IDEA WAIT
[15:00] <bazhang> info_, no caps please
[15:00] <Strang3r> can somebody tell me if there is some way to put the values of the sensors
[15:00] <Strang3r> in the sensors in the upper side ?
[15:00] <chadeldridge> Good morning everyone,  having an issue this morning that i need help with.  My automounts in fstab are no longer working after I changed my machine name ... any reason why ?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Strang3r: do you mean like temperature?
[15:00] <Strang3r> i want numbers
[15:01] <Strang3r> yes something like the temperature
[15:01] <Strang3r> i tried to do it with conky
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> chadeldridge: did you update /etc/hostname and  /etc/hosts
[15:01] <Strang3r> but it`s too complicated for me ...
[15:01] <chadeldridge> yes
[15:01] <nevagonnagiveuup> I heard that it was disagreeable for Canonical to fork ubuntu, rather than just work on Debian.  Isn't it kind of stealing credit by taking all the work of one distro, making it easy for noobs and calling it ubuntu?
[15:01] <Strang3r> i`m noobie with the linux
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> !karamba
[15:01] <v3ctor> chadeldridge: were the shares explicitly shared to the old hostname
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Strang3r: i dunno what the gnome equiv is
[15:01] <VagaWork> ActionParsnip: that only gives me access to 32bit libraries, I use some software that only work with 32 bit openoffice, so I need openoffice to be 32 bit
[15:02] <Strang3r> ;/
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> VagaWork: if you install those libs you can install openoffice 32bit and run it
[15:02] <craxie> This is a VERY fast channel
[15:02] <VagaWork> ActionParsnip: ahhh :) thanx :)
[15:03] <Dabbu1> is there any way i can share my internet with 2 or three particular ips only
[15:03] <generate> hey, can somebody tell me why I can't apt-get install memcached and php5-memcache? I have a feeling my sources.list isn't up to date or something because it's listed as a valid package on packages.ubuntu.com yet I get 'Couldn't find package'
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: hosts.allow and hosts.deny
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: in /etc
[15:04] <generate> I guess what I'm asking is, where can I find a list of repositories for hardy to put in sources.list?
[15:04] <generate> that will include all the packages on packages.ubuntu.com
[15:04] <abhijeet> Hey does anyone know the "Create file" command line in terminal
[15:04] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: so how to do that
[15:04] <generate> I'm guessing the one on my vps is truncated
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: or get firestarter and block all connections from all but those hosts
[15:05] <stuarticus> abhijeet touch
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> !firestarter | Dabbu1
[15:05] <Pici> generate: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[15:05] <craxie> ActionParsnip yeah there's some help or blocking hosts in the iptables manual too isn't there
[15:05] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: i have firestarter installed but i don't know how to do that
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> craxie: if you wanna go crazy
[15:05] <generate> Pici: it looks like hardy heron
[15:05] <craxie> mind you that looked like the hard way to me :)
[15:05] <ivanubuntu> what is the best ubuntu mail server
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: read online how to config it
[15:06] <raraujo> hello all
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Dabbu1: its too complex to describe in irc
[15:06] <generate> Pici: this is the install that came with my vps unfortunately
[15:06] <bazhang> http://aphroneo.net/sources.list generate
[15:06] <cgentry72> I've lost all my active windows on the taskbar, they aren't showing up anymore can someone help
[15:06] <Pici> generate: Make sure that you have the universe repositories  enabled.  Check /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:06] <raraujo> i have a small question about ubuntu server, can someone help me?
[15:06] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: i have tried to read that but i am not able to config
[15:07] <GZ_Hang> FloodBot2:hello
[15:07] <craxie> ActionParsnip yeah as a fairly new user it seems to me some things are hard because they just have too many options. It's like choice madness :)
[15:07] <Dabbu1> ActionParsnip: what i want to do is that i want all IP to access my shared folder but only selected IP can acess my internet
[15:07] <ivanubuntu> cant any one tell me what the best email server for ubuntu
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> i gotta head out, dabbu there is lots of stuff online about iptables or maybe someone else can help
[15:07] <GZ_Hang> Fex
[15:07] <GZ_Hang> bot
[15:07] <favro> raraujo: ask away
[15:07] <generate> Pici: I'm not sure how to do that, care to give me a quick pointer? I'm more "linux smart" than "ubuntu smart" :P
[15:07] <GZ_Hang> robot
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> craxie: choice is good :D
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> peace out kids
[15:08] <raraujo> I got a dedicated server with ubuntu 8.04 on it and I only have root access, I created a user and I would like to have access to sudo commands, in 6.10 I could usermod -a -G admin user, but it seems group admin doesn't exist any more
[15:08] <bazhang> GZ_Hang, please; do you have a ubuntu support question?
[15:08] <generate> Pici: (enable the repositories)
[15:08] <raraujo> can someone help me
[15:08] <generate> Pici: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main
[15:08] <Pici> generate: uncomment the 'universe' lines by using:  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:08] <generate> Pici: that's the only line in sources.list
[15:09] <raraujo> I tried to use group sudo but it also doesn't work
[15:09] <ole3475> pici
[15:09] <generate> Pici: so basically I need the default sources.list that comes with ubuntu, yeah?
[15:09] <favro> raraujo: I don't know about that but the folks in #ubuntu-server would :)
[15:09] <Pici> generate: Use http://aphroneo.net/sources.list to replace your sources.list
[15:09] <bazhang> generate, see link above
[15:09] <generate> pici/bazhang: appreciate it!

[15:13] <ole3475> does anyone know anything about building themes for firefox? or is this not the place for that question?
[15:13] <raraujo> v3ctor: the group is sudo, and I added myself there, but when I try to do a sudo apt-get update per example it does nothing
[15:13] <Drk_Guy> Does anyone know how to EFFECTIVELY restore Vista's BCD?
[15:13] <bazhang> iqson716, what is that
[15:13] <Drk_Guy> I need it ASAP
[15:13] <Pici> bazhang: Try ##windows
[15:13] <Pici> er, Drk_Guy Try ##windows
[15:13] <bazhang> haha
[15:13] <Pici> bazhang: you stay here
[15:13] <bazhang> :)
[15:13] <Drk_Guy> Pici, they're just stupid guys flaming themselves
[15:13] <v3ctor> raraujo: is it commented out?
[15:14] <iqson716> bazhang:  device that generates light, heat, or therapeutic radiation; something that illumines the mind or soul.
[15:14] <Pici> Drk_Guy: This channel doesnt support Windows, so you're going to have to ask there.
[15:14] <Bikerbob> how do I check what video drivers I have on the system?
[15:14] <rebel_kid> i got my entire home directory backed up on a partition, how can i copy it over
[15:14] <iqson716> bazhang: http://lammps.sandia.gov/
[15:14] <bazhang> iqson716, that sounds like hardware; check ##hardware
[15:14] <Drk_Guy> Pici, rats
[15:14] <Bikerbob> I check with aptitude?
[15:14] <hanasakiRemote> anyone have a web url that shows the list of blog aggregators icons at the bottom?
[15:14] <raraujo> v3ctor: it is commented, but if I comment it out, then this means no password to run tasks
[15:15] <jpfarias> hey guys, I got a ubuntu server running on vmware ESXi and I'm restoring a backup from a mysql server. The dump file is 2.3GB but it is taking forever to load the data... Any ideas why? Seems the disk access is too slow, the cpu has a high WA %
[15:15] <iqson716> bazhang: It's not a hardware
[15:15] <TehLaser> Yesterday, my firefox in Hardy just stopped POSTing.  GETs work fine, as does POSTs in links, but firefox won't POST anywhere, from any user account.  Any ideas?
[15:15] <iqson716> :s
[15:15] <rebel_kid> i got my whole home folder backedup, how do i copy it into the new home folder
[15:16] <Pici> iqson716: Did you read the documentation on that website?
[15:16] <iqson716> Pici: yes
[15:16] <TehLaser> I did some updates before firefox broke, but I can't remember if firefox was one of the updates.
[15:16] <Pici> iqson716: What part are you having trouble with?
[15:16] <generate> second question: I have 'ufw default deny' because I want to whitelist allowed traffic, but it seems like there's no way of allowing outgoing traffic, for instance outgoing to 80/tcp, and I can't find anything in google that ddresses this
[15:17] <iqson716> Pici: there is a command that not work --> make linux :-/
[15:17] <generate> er - allowing outgoing traffic as a wildcard
[15:17] <athleone> how do I delete an apt-get?
[15:17] <generate> (other than allowing from my ip, which may/may not change)
[15:18] <generate> is there a way to allow all traffic from a particular device?
[15:18] <hanasakiRemote> athleone:  apt-get remove
[15:18] <Lamba> apt-get remove
[15:18] <danbh_intrepid> rebel_kid: I think you are supposed to use rsync -aS  source destination
[15:18] <boggystudios> Can't get 'updatedb' to work in hardy
[15:18] <generate> like bsd's pf
[15:18] <Pici> iqson716: you need to cd to the directory that you extracted the source to
[15:18] <rebel_kid> danbh_intrepid, thats over my head
[15:18] <iqson716> Pici: I do it!
[15:18] <danbh_intrepid> rebel_kid: well,  tell me how you backed up your /home?
[15:19] <Pici> iqson716: What error did it give you?
[15:19] <reinis_> Guys, I have a problem with my external hard drive, I can see it, but when i try to enter it, i get an error :(
[15:19] <iqson716> Pici: let me to paste!
[15:19] <jasuntoX> ubuntu 64 bit can be installed on core 2 duo right?
[15:19] <christoph3307> yes
[15:19] <jasuntoX> is it worth it?
[15:19] <generate> basically, I want to do the equivalent of 'pass in quick on eth0 proto tcp from any to any' in ufw, is this possible?
[15:19] <TehLaser> depends how much RAM you have, jasuntoX.
[15:19] <christoph3307> jasuntoX: no
[15:20] <rebel_kid> danbh_intrepid, through the instructions in !home, but it didnt go through like they did and copy it over and then add it to the system, just copied, basically i have a partition with /home on it
[15:20] <jasuntoX> i want to get 4gb thats why i was asking
[15:20] <christoph3307> jasuntoX: with 4gb ram, yes
[15:20] <generate> reinis_: fsck maybe?
[15:20] <jasuntoX> all apps will still work?
[15:20] <jasuntoX> no issues?
[15:20] <raraujo> I have a problem when pressing the <TAB> key in the console
[15:20] <iqson716> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48315/
[15:20] <danbh_intrepid> rebel_kid: so your /home partition already has the /home files?
[15:20] <raraujo> when I am just going to a path it works like /et...
[15:21] <raraujo> but if I have something before like vi /et..., then I have the following message
[15:21] <raraujo> vi /et-sh: <( compgen -d -- '/et' ): No such file or directory
[15:21] <raraujo> -sh: <( eval compgen -f -X '*.@(o|so|so.!(conf)|a|rpm|gif|GIF|jp?(e)g|JP?(E)G|mp3|MP3|mp?(e)g|MPG|avi|AVI|asf|ASF|ogg|OGG|class|CLASS)' -- $(quote_readline $cur) ): No such file or directory
[15:21] <christoph3307> jasuntoX: there are ofte issues beacause there are not as many 64bit driver as 32 bit driver, my soundcard never worked on 64 bit
[15:21] <raraujo> it works as root but not as user
[15:21] <TehLaser> 3rd party software can be... problematic on 64-bit too.
[15:22] <reinis_> where is fsck located at ubuntu 8.04?
[15:22] <rebel_kid> danbh_intrepid, i had to reinstall ubuntu, so i just have a regular install with home but then i have another partition that has my old home folder on it, and i wanna mount or copy that to the /home in this install
[15:22] <iqson716> Pici: There is a notice that shown me after make command:   # linux = RedHat Linux box, Intel icc, MPICH2, FFTW
[15:22] <v3ctor> its /sbin/fsck
[15:22] <reinis_> ty
[15:23] <danbh_intrepid> rebel_kid: do you want to copy it?  or use it?
[15:23] <Boyinblue0> When trying to install Ndiswrapper in ubuntu 8.04 using the command sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common it gives me the error that it cannot find the package how can i install it?

[15:24] <amanulla> i dont wanna get sound outside even when my head set is connected
[15:24] <Pici> iqson716: I'm not really sure, this software doesnt really look like its for non-experts.  I'm pretty linux savy and by the look of the documentation I think I'd have issues getting this to work
[15:24] <Boyinblue0> danbh: oh kk ill try that and report back
[15:24] <amanulla> how can i
[15:24] <amanulla> any one pls

[15:27] <danbh_intrepid> Boyinblue0: did you make sure the install cd was inserted?

[15:29] <Boyinblue0> is it right that in the terminal it says "matty@matty-desktop:~$?
[15:29] <le_mischa> Boyinblue0: what do you think is wrong?
[15:29] <lucax> where is pidgin config folder located?
[15:30] <Boyinblue0> I don't know but it might be something to do with that, that is making me not able to install ndiswrapper
[15:30] <le_mischa> Boyinblue0: synaptics opened?
[15:30] <Boyinblue0> what are they?

[15:32] <Boyinblue0> danbh: could you possibly tell me how to do that please :D
[15:32] <danbh_intrepid> Boyinblue0: if that doesnt work, I would just browse the cd, and install both ndiswrapper-utils and -common
[15:33] <danbh_intrepid> Boyinblue0: System - Administration - Sources

[15:39] <ole3475> Pici: Do you know anything about flash drives?
[15:40] <Pici> ole3475: What about them?
[15:41] <ole3475> mine is 8GB and it all of a sudden became read only. I read up on wiki, but can't seem to fix it. On there it said that it was unclean??
[15:41] <danbh_intrepid> Boyinblue0: what cd are you using?
[15:41] <ldiamond> Anyone know how I can install ubuntu on a RAID array when I need to use a driver that I compiled (a .ko file)?
[15:41] <DaveJL> Look for help as a new Ubuntu user (but not new linux user - usuall have been on the RHEL side of the fence). Just installed latest "server" on a Intel DG31PR mb and network connectivity is fine. I install the same desktop version and I can't get the network to work (no pings). It "seems" to recognize the hardware and lets me set a manual IP, but it just does not work.
[15:42] <danbh_intrepid> DaveJL: you mean, you burned a new cd?
[15:43] <Sake> I'm running ubuntu 8.04 and I installed Mozilla Thunderbird, but when I launch it, it shows up in the taskbar then disappears. Is there anywhere that I can debug the problem? It doesn't show any error messages, nothing...
[15:44] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to format an sd card?
[15:44] <DaveJL> Yes danbh_intrepid, burned new CDs (just downloaded) for both server and desktop - install went fine in both cases. The server network seettings were done during install, the desktop did not ask.
[15:44] <gam3r111> in ubuntu
[15:44] <ldiamond> gam3r111, use GParted
[15:44] <gam3r111> idiamond: how
[15:44] <ldiamond> "Ldiamond"
[15:44] <Pici> ole3475: Do you use that with Windows as well?
[15:44] <ldiamond> gam3r111 its in Administration I think<
[15:44] <ldiamond> in the menu
[15:44] <danbh_intrepid> DaveJL: well, if you used a new cd to install, the simplest route might be to go back, and just install with that server cd.   Then run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop       maybe there is something wrong with the desktop cd...    but the method I gave you should get you in the same place
[15:45] <ldiamond> gam3r111 or launch it from a terminal. sudo gparted I believe
[15:45] <ngirard> Hi all. Sometimes my dsl modem hangs and I need a script that connects to the modem via telnet and reboots it. My modem is a D-Link DSL G-604T. Could someone gimme a hand on this ?
[15:45] <danbh_intrepid> Boyinblue0: are you there?
[15:45]  * PiercedWolf gives ngirard
[15:45] <ldiamond> Might be called Partition Manager in the menu, or something like that
[15:45] <ole3475> Pici: I only run Ubuntu no Windows
[15:46] <gam3r111> idiamond: any other ways
[15:46] <ldiamond> prolly
[15:46] <ldiamond> again, its a L, not a i
[15:46] <ldiamond> using GParted should be easy, straight forward and userfriendly
[15:46] <Pici> ole3475: I need to run to a meeting, sorry :(
[15:46] <DaveJL> thanks danbh_intrepid - I'll try what you suggest...
[15:46] <ole3475> thanks for the help Pici!!
[15:47] <ole3475> it was greatly appreciated
[15:47] <ldiamond> Anyone know how I can install ubuntu on a RAID array when I need to use a driver that I compiled (a .ko file)?
[15:48] <gam3r111> does anyone know how to format an sd card
[15:48] <ldiamond> So I need to know how I can load the driver from a Live CD and then include it in the install

[15:49] <gam3r111> ldiamond bc idk how to use gparted
[15:49] <jadams> is there a way in a multicore system to force one process to run on a different core?
[15:49] <ldiamond> Theres no such command as "format my sd card"
[15:49] <gam3r111> yea
[15:49] <ldiamond> gam3r111, gparted is the simplest way,
[15:49] <rebel_kid> gam3r111, system > admin > partition editor
[15:49] <jadams> I want my media player on its own separate core....one of them is hitting 100% frequently and irritating me
[15:49] <gam3r111> ok
[15:49] <zoed> rebel_kid: read "man mv"
[15:49] <ldiamond> gam3r111, thats Gparted.

[16:04] <dfgas> Jack_Sparrow, yah kinda what i figured, right now i am just loading th eboot menu
[16:04] <zoed> Dragon: chown 0:0 /etc/sudoers
[16:04] <ole3475> i just want to get my flashdrive so that i can transfer files to it for safe keeping!!!!?????
[16:04] <Dragon> zoed: chown: changing ownership of `/etc/sudoers': Operation not permitted
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> ole3475 that link had all you needed to know about forcing it to mount
[16:05] <knoppix_> I'm just curious if jack_sparrow an svr clan member?
[16:05] <TexHex> Dragon do you have a root password set?
[16:05] <Assargadon_> hmm...what regular expression corresponds to emty string only?
[16:05] <Dragon> TexHex: Yes
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> ole3475 you can put it back into a windows box and windows can clear the lock as well
[16:05] <TexHex> den su -
[16:05] <TexHex> then
[16:05] <ole3475> well i guess i need to restart ubuntu then and come back here...hopefully firefox will work then
[16:05] <zoed> Dragon: do what TexHex says, I didn't think you set a root password
[16:06] <SchneeSchwarz> pdlnhrd: AllowTcpForwarding yes in sshd_conf. That is the default BTW.
[16:06] <le_mischa> Dragon: are you sure? Ubuntu does not set root-pw by default!
[16:06] <TexHex> chown 0:0 /etc/sudoers
[16:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !root
[16:06] <trojan_> A
[16:06] <Dragon> le_mischa: It should be i've been using it the entire time
[16:07] <Dragon> I'll reset it
[16:07] <knoppix_> anyways gentlemen/ladies (as it applies respevtfully) I have a promblem and this seems to just the place, and people to help me?
[16:07] <Alaskan_Dragon> anyone here know how to install the drivers from the nvidia site?
[16:07] <pdlnhrd> SchneeSchwarz:  i looked through man sshd_config and it is not listed...  maybe i am doing it wrong.   i am trying   ssh -L 9999:localhost:1526 pdlnhrd@remotehost
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ what does lsb_release -a in a terminal show.. exactly please
[16:08] <Dragon> I still get the error sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1001, should be 0
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Alaskan_Dragon There is a help file on the nv site or
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[16:08] <knoppix_> I don't understand how it is I can connect to the internet via a live disc ( I really am incredibly new to linux/kknoppix) but aol cannot detect a connection nor can internet explorer????
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ what does lsb_release -a in a terminal show.. exactly please
[16:09] <zoed> Alaskan_Dragon: just use the restricted drivers manager.
[16:09] <jignesh> hello to every one.....
[16:09] <SchneeSchwarz> pdlnhrd: if it's not listed then it is set to yes since that's the default. What exactly is the problem? The command looks OK.
[16:09] <trojan_> You must kiss my ass
[16:09] <pdlnhrd> SchneeSchwarz:  on localhost if i try nc localhost 9999  i get connection refused
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ what does lsb_release -a in a terminal show.. exactly please        We do NOT provide support for Knoppix
[16:10] <bazhang> knoppix_, there is no ie on livecd
[16:11] <SchneeSchwarz> pdlnhrd: but telnet localhost 1526 in the ssh session works?
[16:11] <zoed> !knoppix
[16:12] <jochmen> #knoppix support channel
[16:12] <knoppix_> I guess I.m Knoppix by what I read in the names??? anyways I have no idea what your question is Jack_Sparrow, how do I find that???
[16:12] <bazhang> knoppix_, wrong channel then
[16:12] <bazhang> knoppix_, try #knoppix
[16:13] <tk09c> Hello everyone, I got an error with the /etc/apt/sources.list.
[16:13] <knoppix_> try Koppix???
[16:13] <tk09c> It says echo in line 58 isn't accepted
[16:13] <pdlnhrd> SchneeSchwarz:  no...  and it doesn't work on the remote either...  let me investigate some more.  thanks for answering my orginal question.
[16:13] <bazhang> knoppix_, this is ubuntu support. this is the wrong place for you.
[16:13] <jochmen> we think you run the knoppix live cd
[16:13] <zoed> knoppix_: change to the channel #knoppix, that is type "/join #knoppix" without the quoters
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ open a terminal.. applicationa, accessories then terminal  and type lsb_release -a
[16:14] <jochmen> you see
[16:14] <SchneeSchwarz> pdlnhrd: then there's nothing listening on port 1526 on the server side. In this case, "connection refused" is what is to be expected.
[16:15] <jignesh> anyone here to help a new comer to irc chat room
[16:15] <pdlnhrd> SchneeSchwarz:  thanks... i am working from the server now to determine the cause
[16:16] <ikonia> jignesh: what's the problem ?
[16:16] <knoppix_> respectfully I,m just trying to figure out how to get aol, and internet explorer to connect to the internet, and right now this is all that I have if anyone can see where I,m coming from, I am not seeking knoppix support simply using knoppix as a comunicatiion device??

[16:19] <Bikerbob> what release did ubutntu start with first 2.6 kernel?

[16:20] <Bikerbob> 6.06?
[16:20] <jignesh>  /msg ubottu etiquette
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Bikerbob I dont think that far back

[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> what
[16:20] <ForgeAus> /command like this...
[16:20] <bluelark> hi
[16:21] <Bikerbob> I am updating some docs in the community pages.. and need to document first 2.6 release .. anyone know for sure?
[16:21] <knoppix_> there doesn't seem to be anyone in the knoppix room??
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ Not our problem
[16:21] <deus> hey
[16:22] <Prose> how do I list all users on local box and then remove some ?
[16:22] <knoppix_> hmmmm, so just what is everyone talking about?
[16:22] <jbroome_> that knoppix guy had to be a troll
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ Many distros have terrible support.
[16:23] <TexHex> Bikerbob: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu
[16:23] <knoppix_> what is a distros?
[16:23] <bazhang> knoppix_, this is ubuntu os support ; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:23] <deus> I'm trying to install ubuntu server, but the installation always stops after 2%. I've verified my download with md5sum, I've verified my cd's (tested 2 distinct cd's), and i've tried to use 2 different cd stations. any other suggestions?
[16:23] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ please stop, you are offtopic
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> deus are you on a Dell or HP?
[16:24] <ushimitsudoki> prose: there is a GUI for that, "Users and Groups" I think ( I'm not on GNOME right now, but i think it is under the Admin menu)
[16:24] <deus> Jack_Sparrow: no it's a supermicor
[16:24] <deus> Jack_Sparrow: supermicro
[16:24] <Prose> ushimitsudoki: Im looking for a terminal solution since I'm ssh-ing  :)
[16:25] <ushimitsudoki> prose: ah..."users" will list them and ,er, have to google for more :)
[16:25] <kthakore> Prose: putty if from windows or just do ssh from NIx
[16:25] <Jack_Sparrow> deus k.. with Dell and some HP they can test fine but not work unless burned at slowest possible speed.. go figure that one out
[16:25] <knoppix_> okay, how do you get to #ubunu-offtopic,  I mean not trying to insult anyone here just sincerely trying to get my computer back to specs or at least my internet connection?
[16:25] <Prose> ushimitsudoki: ok thanks :)
[16:25] <Svish> is there a way I can find other computers in the network through the terminal?
[16:25] <deus> Jack_Sparrow: will try to burn it very very very slowly
[16:25] <Jack_Sparrow> knoppix_ the same way you just got to #knoppix
[16:25] <Prose> kthakore: I am ssh, I was just wondering how to list them and I think I found how to remove then on google
[16:25] <jbroome_> knoppix_: in your IRC client, /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:26] <bazhang> knoppix_, click on the link #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:26] <kthakore> knoppix_,  do /j #ubunu-offtopic
[16:26] <knoppix_> okay
[16:26] <knoppix_> thank you
[16:26] <Jack_Sparrow> deus I have not seen it happen on anything but Dell and HP.. so far..
[16:26] <Prose> ushimitsudoki: actually 'users' just lists the same thing as 'who' at this moment :(
[16:26] <kthakore> Prose, what do mean that I am ssh?
[16:26] <Jack_Sparrow> deus # To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[16:26] <deus> Jack_Sparrow: ok, well add supermicro to your list...
[16:26] <jignesh> hi ikonia
[16:26] <jignesh> what is ur mail id?
[16:27] <Jack_Sparrow> deus PM me it that gets it going just so I know.. Thanks
[16:27] <Bikerbob> TEXHEX that pages show no kernels
[16:27] <bazhang> jignesh, do you have an ubuntu os support question?
[16:27] <Prose> kthakore: I meant, I am ssh-ing
[16:27] <TexHex> Bikerbob: sure scroll down to the list and then search linux
[16:27] <jignesh> /msg ubottu
[16:27] <Prose> kthakore: as in  I am accessing the box via ssh
[16:28] <deus> Jack_Sparrow: ok i will
[16:28] <SchneeSchwarz> Prose: cat /etc/passwd
[16:28] <kthakore> Prose, oh
[16:29] <ushimitsudoki> prose: in that case, look to the user* commands like useradd, userdel, usermod
[16:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Bikerbob 2.6 goes back to hoary if this page is right  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-March/005470.html
[16:29] <itsm3> I just got a weird update which has a red arrow pointing down saying it is critical to update, but seems fishy, it says rdesktop "RDP  client for windows NT/2000 terminal server" also updates called "backport" update for k3b what are these and are they dangerous to install?
[16:29] <Prose> all righ! thanks all !
[16:30] <TexHex> on distrowatch it says it goes back to warty :)
[16:30] <Skyrail> Is there a simple command for checking what computers are attached to my network (instead of going to my router's IP and checking there)?
[16:30] <danbh_intrepid> itsm3: it will list it as critical if its security related, I believe
[16:30] <Bikerbob> found it TexHex.. yes to warty.. but thats the last it shows.. does it go back further?
[16:30] <rw> Skyrail, what sys specs?
[16:31] <itsm3> danbh_intrepid; yeah but why would ubuntu be installing RDP for windows, as i do not have windows on this pc?
[16:31] <Skyrail> rw: how do you mean?
[16:31] <danbh_intrepid> itsm3: so you can connect TO windows?
[16:31] <rw> Skyrail, what operating system
[16:31] <itsm3> danbh_intrepid; ahh i see =) ok very nice
[16:31] <badfish> what is f-spot and how do i get rid of it?
[16:32] <Skyrail> rw: Ubuntu 8.04
[16:32] <fishbaf>  Hello!
[16:32] <itsm3> danbh_intrepid; command could be rdp <ip> or something like that im guessing right?
[16:32] <Jack_Sparrow> badfish It is a decent photo viewer
[16:32] <rw> Skyrail, local area network?
[16:32] <badfish> i see
[16:32] <badfish> why would it pop up on it's own when i open irc?
[16:32] <TexHex> Bikerbob: i think warty was the first famous ubuntu release
[16:32] <danbh_intrepid> itsm3: o, I haven't the foggiest about rdp.  No idea what it does
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> badfish no idea..
[16:33] <itsm3> danbh_intrepid; its used to connect to or from another windows machine, which in this case im guess is TO
[16:33] <danbh_intrepid> itsm3: rpd --help should give you some idea
[16:33] <itsm3> to view their desktop and control their computer
[16:33] <itsm3> ok thanks danbh_intrepid!

[16:48] <Sake> I'm running ubuntu 8.04 and I installed Mozilla Thunderbird, but when I launch it, it shows up in the taskbar then disappears. Is there anywhere that I can debug the problem? It doesn't show any error messages, nothing...

[16:48] <rkvirani> MrD1: is there a trial version?
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Sake run it from a terminal and look fopr errors

[16:53] <duncan-nz> tk09c, you can always pull a clean one out of the live cd.
[16:53] <Jack_Sparrow> tk09c you might be able to run livecd and pull a fresh copy from thee
[16:53] <CyberCod> tk09c: yep... just search for "ubuntu default sources.list"
[16:53] <tk09c> Thanks guys!
[16:54] <duncan-nz> tk09c, CyberCod's idea is better.
[16:54] <duncan-nz> tk09c, make sure you get the right version.

[16:55] <rkvirani> I wanted to run ume-launcher
[16:55] <duncan-nz> badfish, can you help me? I've tried finding it in parted, but 'print -a' didn't show it either.
[16:55] <gtpro102> im trying to install ubuntu on a new hd do i just pop the disk in and it goes?
[16:55] <bazhang> rkvirani, #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:55] <rkvirani> bazhang: ume-launcher is part of ubuntu
[16:55] <bazhang> gtpro102, set in bios to boot from cd
[16:55] <badfish> duncan-nz: in your terminal type sudo apt-get gparted
[16:56] <rkvirani> bazhang: or did you not know about it? its part of the netbook distro
[16:56] <bazhang> rkvirani, chatting is not for this channel; you are asking about hardware
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> gtpro102 pretty much
[16:56] <gtpro102> k and it will take off? no dos etc?
[16:56] <MrD1> amanulla, in that case i am quite new to ubuntu, but on the shutdown botton top right side when i press it a box appears with the options in that case you will have to ask some one in the room
[16:56] <neildf> @gtpro102: is ubuntu going to be the only OS or are you trying to dual boot?
[16:56] <CyberCod> what are some good sites for Ubuntu tutorial screencasts? (aside from the official one)
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !eeepc > rkvirani
[16:56] <badfish> and lmk when you got it
[16:56] <gtpro102> just ubuntu
[16:56] <wfps_105> Hello all
[16:56] <rkvirani> bazhang: which is completely related to ubuntu as there are ubuntu distributions for specific hardware platforms
[16:56] <duncan-nz> badfish, aha! I can see it in gparted, but didn't with parted... I'll let you know if I hit another problem. thanks.
[16:56] <wfps_105> I'm having problems starting my computer using ubuntu =/
[16:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint > rkvirani
[16:56] <amanulla> ohh icant find hibernate option in my quit menu how can i get ittttt
[16:56] <Skyrail> Is there a command to see what computers are attached to my network so I can get the IP of a computer without having to visit my router's page everytime
[16:57] <amanulla> any one
[16:57] <neildf> gtpro102: pretty much yes then, you will be prompted to answer some questions but the install is pretty straight forward
[16:57] <badfish> excellent
[16:57] <rkvirani> Im out of here, you people...
[16:57] <cenubis> amanulla: you can't if you're using it with a windows computer
[16:57] <CyberCod> Skyrail: I think it's in network tools... investigate
[16:57] <gtpro102> nive so just burn the iso and pop it in the comp with boot from disk?
[16:57] <notwist> Does inteprid have any improvements in network card drivers? Thinking about upgrading my router-box or should i wait? One of my NICs (or maybe two) doesnt work :/
[16:57] <rkvirani> Im not asking for support, you dont want to talk about ubuntu and hardware then fine.
[16:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !patience > amanulla
[16:58] <CyberCod> ARE YOU ALL READY FOR SOFTWARE FREEDOM DAY TOMORROW???
[16:58] <neildf> gtpro102: yup
[16:58] <amanulla> cenubis:windows computers means?
[16:58] <Pici> CyberCod: #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:58] <gtpro102> hell yea thanks!
[16:58] <duncan-nz> badfish, OK, I can see it but gparted says that it is "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem!"
[16:58] <neildf> np!
[16:58] <Skyrail> CyberCod: ok thanks, I'll see what I can find :)
[16:58] <amanulla> cenubis:im running ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop
[16:58] <badfish> it's probably formatted for windows
[16:58] <cenubis> amanulla: did you install it ontop of windows
[16:58] <cenubis> or did you format?
[16:59] <duncan-nz> badfish, yeps, NTFS - but I thought ntfs support was now in Ubuntu.
[16:59] <gtpro102> once i get it on there can i dual boot from ubuntu in to xp or vista?
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz read write but not the os
[16:59] <amanulla> i installed it using wubi in windows
[16:59] <cenubis> yeah that would be why
[16:59] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, I don't understand.
[16:59] <amanulla> cenubis:is im clear?
[16:59] <CyberCod> gtpro102: dualbooting is petty easy.... triplebooting is a little more complicated
[16:59] <cenubis> yes
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> gtpro102 it handles that for you as long as you dont format the windows partition
[16:59] <cenubis> there is maybe a work around
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz You cant install ubuntu on ntfs
[16:59] <cenubis> but as i know you cant hibernate if you installed it with wubi
[17:00] <Svish> Skyrail: found something useful yet?
[17:00] <amanulla> cenubis:if i make dual boot will i find that option?
[17:00] <cenubis> yes
[17:00] <cenubis> if you partition
[17:00] <badfish> he's trying to access his second hard disk
[17:00] <gtpro102> cool cool im a noob ill figure it all out eventualy thanks for the help!
[17:00] <Svish> !hibernate
[17:00] <badfish> and it should let him
[17:00] <CyberCod> #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:00] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, I've already got Ubuntu!! I'm trying to access my new hardware.
[17:00] <CyberCod> oops
[17:00] <lucas__> Hibernating in Wubi is disabled, it says so in the installer I believe
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz sudo fdisk -l   lets have a look
[17:00] <badfish> i can access my vista disk with ubuntu and i didn't have to do anything extra
[17:01] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, aha. Now I see it. /dev/sdb1, Id=7, System = HPFS/NTFS
[17:02] <amanulla> cenubis:im also running ubuntu 7.10 in free space formatted as ext3 can i find hipernate there?
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz can you mount manually
[17:02] <duncan-nz> badfish, but I've put this HDD in after I installed Ubuntu.
[17:02] <amanulla> sorry hibernate?
[17:02] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, I'll try again.
[17:02] <badfish> i'd hope he's already tried to mount manually
[17:03] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, no.
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz sudo mkdir /media/test                 then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz is that what you tried.
[17:03] <duncan-nz> I've created a dir in /media and try to mount with 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Storage but no luck.
[17:04] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, yes.
[17:04] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz what error if any
[17:04] <amanulla> im running ubunut 8.04 installed over xp i would like to acess i mean run ubunut 7.10 installed in free space in my computer as a layer can i???
[17:04] <duncan-nz> Jack_Sparrow, none, it just gives me a list of usage information as if I typed something wrong.
[17:04] <amanulla> in ubunut 8.04
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> duncan-nz make sure the mount point exists and that you didnt use cap on one and not the other
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> amanulla no you cant
[17:06] <zendo> Hello. How can I check if my web camera is working (I'm using 8.04)?

[17:07] <frosterrj> what is the equivalent of cat /etc/release to find out which version a box is running?
[17:07] <amanulla> sorry
[17:07] <amanulla>  then how cant i run ubuntu 7 in ubuntu 8using vbox
[17:07] <amikrop> Jack_Sparrow: I don't have a switch/router.  Itried to creat a directory calle 'Storage 2' but of course I only created one called 'Storage'. All fixed now. Thanks also badfish .
[17:07] <langz1> HI ALL
[17:07] <bazhang> amanulla, /join #vbox
[17:08] <badfish> haha
[17:08] <yyin> hi,all! does anybody know why I couldn't see any partitions during installation? (8.04, chipset:EP43, HD:Seagate 320G SATA )
[17:08] <langz1> I need help
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> amanulla  run ubuntu 7 in ubuntu 8 using vbox under a wubi install.... that is asking a lot
[17:08] <langz1> With Linux DC++
[17:08] <badfish> always somethin simple
[17:08] <amanulla> yes
[17:08] <yyin> seems many people have the same issue with P43 chipset
[17:08] <Jack_Sparrow> yyin # Use a live cd..At start or install press F6 add all_generic_ide before the "--"
[17:08] <bazhang> amanulla, how much ram
[17:08] <langz1> So who knows linux DC++
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> langz1 You are most likely in the wrong place.. this is ubuntu support..
[17:09] <delta9thc1> badfish: Applications > System tools > NTFS configuration tool , enable write support for external device
[17:09] <amanulla> im running ubuntu 8(over xp by wubi),ubuntu 7 in free space
[17:09] <amanulla> my ram is 1 gb
[17:09] <bazhang> amanulla, how much ram
[17:09] <amanulla> 1 gb
[17:09] <bazhang> amanulla, not even nearly enough
[17:09] <yyin> all right, jack_Sparrow, I'll try it
[17:09] <frosterrj> what is the equivalent of cat /etc/release to find out which version a box is running?
[17:09] <langz1> I need to know about ports Jack
[17:09] <amanulla> how much i need?
[17:09] <bazhang> 4gb for that
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> frosterrj lsb_release -a
[17:10] <frosterrj> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!
[17:10] <yyin> Jack_Sparrow, after I enable the AHCP in bios, the installation success.
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> langz1 there are support channels for programming questions
[17:10] <badfish> delta9thc1: i don't know what that's for but i don't have a system tools folder in applications
[17:10] <amanulla> ok can i run xp over ubuntu 8 with 1 gb?
[17:10] <amanulla> using vbox?
[17:10] <bazhang> amanulla, on wubi?
[17:11] <d_dyer> Hey,does anyone know if ubuntu gets viruses and if it does about how many viruses are know to attack it?
[17:11] <amikrop> How could I create an ad-hoc wireless network between two Ubuntu laptops?
[17:11] <Prose> is thre a default user called uname ?
[17:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !virus
[17:11] <Prose> created by the system ?
[17:11] <amanulla> yes my ubuntu 8 is installed using  wubi
[17:11] <d_dyer> ok thanks
[17:11] <bazhang> amanulla, that makes no sense.
[17:12] <frosterrj> Jack_Sparrow: no details on alpha/beta/rc level?
[17:12] <amanulla> why any problem
[17:12] <bazhang> amanulla, if it is via wubi you have xp already installed
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> amanulla be aware that wubi is more of a test drive that something you should use long term
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> than
[17:12] <Jack_Sparrow> frosterrj no idea
[17:13] <tgpraveen> hey guys anyone knows how to make reliance netconnect work on ubuntu8.04?
[17:13] <badfish> d_dyer: i think you have to try to get a virus in linux
[17:13] <ushimitsudoki> Prose: i don't think so - not on my system at least. uname is a command, though
[17:13] <amanulla> actually my problem is with configuring internet connection
[17:13] <amikrop> How could I create an ad-hoc wireless network between two Ubuntu laptops?
[17:13] <Prose> ushimitsudoki: because I have a user called uname and he has a home folder
[17:13] <Prose> I'm not sure if  I  can safely remove him with 'deluser'
[17:14] <frosterrj> Jack_Sparrow: thanks again...
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:14] <amanulla> i m unable to configure net in ubuntu for a long time so i installed ubuntu using wubi fortunately i m cable of detecting my net connection over there
[17:14] <delta9thc1> badfish: umhhh   apt-cache search nfts*   , you'll see something like nfts-config or nfts-3g
[17:15] <badfish> delta9thc1: sounds like you're answering duncan's problem, he already got it sorted out
[17:15] <amanulla> can i find now what is my type of connection in ubuntu to configure it in a freshly installed ubuntu can any one do me a favour in this case
[17:16] <delta9thc1> LOL
[17:16] <amanulla> i want to detect my type of internet connection im using

[17:46] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob:  you mean you want to see what video driver is loaded?
[17:46] <jarco> how to do it then? Pici
[17:46] <Vladimir[LV]> bind DNS server manual quote: "Now that the zone is setup and resolving names to IP Adresses a Reverse zone is also required."
[17:46] <Vladimir[LV]> why im need to configure revers zone, if im not a ISP?
[17:46] <Pici> jarco: You'd need to convert it to an iso or possibly use gisomount (I'm not sure if that supports non-iso images)
[17:46] <danbh_intrepid> Vladimir[LV]: what are you?
[17:46] <Bikerbob> no .. want to see what modules are on the machine.. if my driver is even available to load?
[17:46] <jorrit> Vladimir[LV], You'd only use rev. DNS for the IP-range(s) you control
[17:46] <Vladimir[LV]> danbh_intrepid: im just setting up my web site
[17:47] <Bikerbob> cant get X to run..
[17:47] <Vladimir[LV]> jorrit: im not control any ip ranges ;/
[17:47] <bharani> hi how to take a complete image of the current OS running with the softwares and settings
[17:47] <jarco> mmmk Pici
[17:47] <jarco> i will try that
[17:47] <bharani> and to install later
[17:47] <pmann> Please help me
[17:47] <Bikerbob> my install did not give me a configure and I cant get it to come up
[17:47] <jason__> Bikerbob:  to see modules loaded you can use lsmod
[17:48] <jorrit> Vladimir[LV], then you should limit rev. DNS to your local IP's for internal DNS it's quite handy.
[17:48] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: you can use modprobe to load modules, and it looks in /lib/modules/KERNELVERSION by default and also in other directories if specified in /etc/modprobe.conf
[17:48] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: man modprobe for more details about that
[17:48] <pmann> we accidentally loaded ubuntu on top of windows and cannot access windows
[17:48] <_Zeus_> pmann: what do you mean?
[17:48] <pmann> downloaded off internet
[17:48] <_Zeus_> pmann: did you tell ubuntu to use the whole disc?
[17:48] <Bikerbob> ok got that.. but I think there is a way with aptitude to list all the video drivers? anyone?
[17:48] <pmann> said we could load alongside windows
[17:49] <pmann> without creating any partition
[17:49] <pmann> now the only thing that will boot is ubuntu
[17:49] <_Zeus_> pmann: did you install wubi?
[17:49] <jorrit> pmann, there is an option in Windows fdisk for that:  fdisk/mbr
[17:49] <_Zeus_> pmann: the command is fixmbr
[17:49] <pmann> no it didn't ask
[17:49] <jatt> Hi, when I access a shared partition  through System->Connect to Server... the shared partition disappears from my desktop. Is there any way to make such shares persistent by default?
[17:49] <pmann> made it sound like it would just load alongside windows
[17:50] <pmann> but it took over whole machine
[17:50] <jatt> (the shared partition disappears from my desktop after I reboot)
[17:50] <_Zeus_> pmann: are you in ubuntu now?
[17:50] <Bikerbob> are video drivers modules? aka vesa, or ati etc?
[17:50] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: yes
[17:50] <_Zeus_> go to a terminal and pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[17:50] <Pici> pmann: When you boot, do you get a menu or a prompt to press ESC to see the menu?
[17:50] <_Zeus_> !paste | pmann
[17:50] <pmann> yes
[17:50] <Bikerbob> hmmm.. I have no driver modules loaded.. wierd
[17:50] <pmann> cant find anyway to uninstall ubuntu
[17:51] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: are you using the system in question now?
[17:51] <pmann> NO chance to see menu
[17:51] <_Zeus_> pmann: post the output of sudo fdisk -l
[17:51] <pmann> boots straight to ubuntu
[17:51] <_Zeus_> pmann: DO WHAT I SAID ALREADY
[17:52] <jorrit> pmann, if you haven't overwritten your Windows partitiions, you can get back your original Master boot record in the way I told you before
[17:52] <Pici> pmann: Even if you install Ubuntu over everything, you should still get that prompt.
[17:52] <pmann> said command not found
[17:52] <case^> I love #
[17:52] <_Zeus_> what did you type?
[17:52] <case^> sudo fdisk -l
[17:52] <case^> copy/paste into terminal
[17:52] <jorrit> case^: grin
[17:52] <Bikerbob> in the room with me ushimitsudoki
[17:53] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: What I mean is if you are seeing video output, then some driver is loaded.
[17:53] <Bikerbob> I did this the other day.. I was able to use aptitude to give me a list of drivers.. cant remember how now.
[17:53] <pmann> Pici:  I get a countdown
[17:53] <Bikerbob> no ushimitsudoki I am on another computer
[17:53] <Pici> pmann: Can you press escape during that?
[17:53] <pmann> but no chance to choose windows
[17:53] <case^> are many people running hardy? I wonder because ff3 is unstable as hell
[17:54] <Pici> pmann: What is listed?
[17:54] <jorrit> case^: That's fixed after the first update of FF3
[17:54] <pmann> zeus:: at desktop prompt typed: sudo fdisk-1
[17:54] <_Zeus_> pmann: that's a lowercase L, not one
[17:54] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: you can search packages with "apt-cache search <string>" and it will return valid results. I'm not aware of a way to restrict a search to "drivers" only
[17:54] <Pici> pmann: and a space between the -l and fdisk
[17:54] <pmann> ok
[17:54] <case^> *opens synaptic*
[17:55] <_Zeus_> Pici: thanks for catching that
[17:55] <ushimitsudoki> Bikerbob: aptitude search works basically the same way as far as i know

[17:57] <Jowi> Hi, I get USB disconnects that I'm afraid will kill my HDD in the long run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48350/
[17:57] <Jowi> anyone know a fix?
[17:58] <_Zeus_> Jowi: i would say maybe your usb connectors are loose/damaged?
[17:58] <_Zeus_> pmann: did you use pastebin?
[17:58] <jorrit> Jowi: Are you using an external Western Digital HDD? Thos things have a cr*ppy PSU
[17:58] <_Zeus_> jorrit: it's ok to say crappy
[17:58] <Jowi> jorrit, yes, I am actually.
[17:59] <Jowi> jorrit, but it's the 2,5" model - usb powered
[17:59] <_Zeus_> Jowi: i think that's his poing

[18:00] <case^> jowi - how do you pull that report?
[18:00] <Jowi> I intended to use it for unatended backups. Set up a cron job for it and it works fine. But once per day this happen.
[18:00] <pmann> I pasted it at ubuntu but don't know what to do with it now
[18:00] <Jowi> case^, "dmesg" in a terminal.
[18:00] <nebuchadnezzar> hello
[18:00] <jorrit> Jowi: I never trust WD after my MyBook disasters. A cheapo coolermaster brick worked much better than this fancy-pants WD HDD (It had really nice visual design, though :-) )
[18:00] <_Zeus_> pmann: send us the link
[18:02] <jorrit> Jowi, if there is still warranty on the bugger, try to get a return for it after you've made a backup of your valuable data. I was out of the warranty period, so I just opened the thing to get me HDD
[18:02] <case^> Jowi: ta
[18:02] <nebuchadnezzar> ok, as there is nobody on #ubuntu-boot I think here is the good place to ask question about partman recipes ?
[18:02] <Izinucs> Question?
[18:02] <Jowi> jorrit, _Zeus_ I'm afraid that it might be a kernel bug though. It's not the first time USB hub resets and was documented in the Feisty and Gutsy kernels. Well, it is an external disk so no need to open any case here :)
[18:02] <pmann> I dont see any link it just says "download as text" we have never used Ubuntu before so don't know what the %#@ we are doing
[18:03] <Skyrail> For some reason the compiz settings manager won't let me increase my number of virtual desktops (which currently sits at one frustratingly)
[18:03] <_Zeus_> pmann: see the adress bar?? where you type in the site name????
[18:03] <d_dyer> is there a way to make my mouse cursor bigger?
[18:03] <Jowi> jorrit, _Zeus_ I wanted to file a bug but seems like launchpad is out for mainenance
[18:03] <_Zeus_> Jowi: I really don't think it's a bug
[18:03] <jorrit> Jowi: Before you file a bug, do some research first

[18:04] <virginiatiger> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Audacious_in_Action.jpg
[18:04] <_Zeus_> you guys agree??? http://paste.ubuntu.com/48351/ = windows gone
[18:04] <nebuchadnezzar> ok, there is an ubuntu-installer, see you
[18:05] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: and pmann has setup all the partitions for hi install inside of an extended partition.
[18:05] <Jowi> pmann, it's gone (on the primary disk at least)
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> _Zeus_ Agreed
[18:05] <pmann> so is there anything I can do?
[18:05] <_Zeus_> sorry, pmann.  i think all is lost
[18:05] <gtpro102> is it common for an iso's to become a bad burn?
[18:05] <_Zeus_> pmann: i doubt it
[18:06] <_Zeus_> gtpro102: depends on the speed
[18:06] <mrbiscuit78> hey can someone help me with frost wire
[18:06] <_Zeus_> gtpro102: were you using max speed?
[18:06] <gtpro102> i did it at 16 the first time and trying it at 1 now
[18:06] <_Zeus_> gtpro102: try that, yes
[18:06] <_Zeus_> gtpro102: you might want to compare the MD5sum also
[18:06] <Jowi> _Zeus_, jorrit thanks for the feedback. I dive into it a bit further.
[18:06] <pmann> so ubuntu repartioned and used the whole drive or something?
[18:06] <gtpro102> i tryed but i cant figure it out lol
[18:06] <_Zeus_> pmann: you might be able to recover SOME files, but i would say your chances are <1%
[18:07] <_Zeus_> pmann: when you installed ubuntu, you told it to use the whole drive
[18:07] <jorrit> pmann, There are some tools to get back some of your data, but they are really difficult to use and if you pplan to use them, shut off your computer and don't run any OS from that HDD
[18:07] <gtpro102> ill try the disk again b4 i go threw the md5
[18:07] <pmann> should I just try converting my old windows files to ubuntu files or are you saying they are completely gone?
[18:07] <_Zeus_> pmann: if you want to try to salvage some data, you need to take that hard drive and put it in another computer
[18:07] <vadi2> I broke my video resolution, and already tried using envy and hardware drivers to fix it. Can anyone help?
[18:07] <mrbiscuit78> can some one help me install frost wire
[18:07] <_Zeus_> pmann: your old windows files are gone
[18:07] <jorrit> pmann,  You can consider the area that your swap drive now occopies as completely lost.
[18:07] <_Zeus_> !info frostwire | mrbiscuit78
[18:08] <pmann> Oh crap
[18:08] <jorrit> pmann, occopies => occupies
[18:08] <_Zeus_> mrbiscuit78: what's wrong?
[18:08] <pmann> there was no warning or anything
[18:08] <_Zeus_> pmann: there are instructions.  did you read the back of the cd case?
[18:08] <pmann> it said I could install alongside windows by using that option
[18:08] <mrbiscuit78> _zeus_: it wont install
[18:08] <_Zeus_> pmann: do you have 2 hard drives?
[18:08] <pmann> no
[18:08] <_Zeus_> !ask | mrbiscuit78
[18:09] <_Zeus_> i wonder what happened to pmann's sda3 and sda4...
[18:09] <case^> http://paste.ubuntu.com/48358/ - hmm
[18:09] <jorrit> _Zeus_, yes, that's a good one...
[18:10] <d_dyer> ok,now i have another question,How can i put a "Trash" icon on the desktop
[18:10] <mrbiscuit78> _zeus_: when i go to install it it gives me a error
[18:10] <gtpro102> fuck yeaa lick that taint spit on that ass hole! it worked!! :)))
[18:10] <_Zeus_> !language | gtpro102
[18:10] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: did he use Wubi? or actually install it locally?
[18:10] <pmann> what is sda 3 and sda 4?
[18:10] <gtpro102> lol
[18:10] <_Zeus_> I think he installed it locally...
[18:10] <_Zeus_> otherwise i don't think he'd be saying he can't get to windows
[18:10] <Bikerbob> ok - so if I modify the Xorg.conf I need to run dpkg to make it work?
[18:11] <digitalfiz> why oh why wont my capture card work, why oh why wont it worrrrrrrk *sings a tune*
[18:11] <_Zeus_> Bikerbob: no
[18:11] <PredaGR> hello, is there some package selection for GIMP to have photoshop style image effects?
[18:11] <_Zeus_> PredaGR: you might want to try GIMPshop
[18:11] <_Zeus_> !info gimpshop
[18:11] <jorrit> PredaGR, Waht effects are you looking for?
[18:11] <Bikerbob> so if I modify Xorg.conf and save it.. then rerun startx it will use the one I changed?
[18:11] <PredaGR> mosaic, blur
[18:11] <_Zeus_> Bikerbob: yes
[18:12] <digitalfiz> gimpshop gives a layout similair to photoshop but you wont find the tools to compare to photoshop
[18:12] <_Zeus_> PredaGR: for mosaic, try using the plugin GIMPressionist
[18:12] <jorrit> PredaGR, blur exists by default.
[18:12] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: pmann if he installed it locally and used an auto configuration script from the install choices, it's weird that it created an extended partition then installed inside of that.. there had to have been some manual override as some point to make fstab look like this.
[18:12] <aar> Hi there, is it possible to ssh into a Win system from a Liinux box using openssh-server and openssh-client?
[18:12] <PredaGR> thanks
[18:12] <PredaGR> will look for those
[18:12] <jorrit> aar: try FreeSSHD
[18:12] <_Zeus_> Izinucs: yeah, i dont get it
[18:12] <aar> jorrit, thanks will look into it!
[18:12] <pmann> When my son downloaded it he asked if he could go ahead.  I looked at the options. One talked about making partions but one said install right inside or alongside windows.  I gave no hint that windows would go away.
[18:12] <Bikerbob> ok in the device section there is the line Option and I had "UseFBDev" in there..  if I want to use ATI driver.. do I say "UseATI" ?
[18:12] <_Zeus_> pmann: post the output of ls /dev/sd*
[18:13] <d_dyer> Is there a way i can put a Trash icon on my destop
[18:13] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: can you drag the trash can to the desktop?
[18:13] <d_dyer> desktop*
[18:13] <jorrit> d_dyer, just make ln -s of your trashbox
[18:13] <pmann> It made it sound like it would run inside windows
[18:13] <natalisushka> hi all, please help me in this. I have a laptop with ubuntu 8.04, lspci shows this: http://pastebin.com/mbdaaaf4 .. and have a problem with graphic card (I guess) .. I have restricted drivers "ATI accelerator" installed, and visual effects to none. Yet, after using many apps with mouse and keyboard so so much active, I get my USB stopped working, so mouse stops (except for the pad), and any other USB device. The system slows down a bit, espec
[18:13] <natalisushka> ially in webbrowser (gets stuck for a few seconds every minute), and when I restart or shutdown my system it gets stuck forever.
[18:13] <Bogus8> when I try to umount a drive I'm getting device busy... how can I check what is hanging it up?  I've shut down samba and apache and I don't think anything else would be in it
[18:13] <Izinucs> pmann: there are other questions later on down the install process.  If you weren't watching the entire time he may have chosen the wrong thing..
[18:14] <_Zeus_> pmann: did you boot to the cd, or did you put it in while windows was running?
[18:14] <_Zeus_> pmann: please post the output of ls /dev/sd*
[18:14] <jorrit> natalisushka, sounds like a Power Mgmt problem, try noacpi, nolapic as kernel parameters
[18:14] <Bogus8> found it... nfs!
[18:14] <natalisushka> Now compiz donst work for some reason, but in a previous installation of ubuntu 8.04 it worked, and when I set my visual effects to Normal, the problem gets worse, I get logged out with a unix screen and gets stuck there!
[18:14] <_Zeus_> !intrepid | natalisushka
[18:15] <shadowhywind> is there a way to change the inode size of a partition?

[18:15] <pmann> there it is
[18:15] <Aquahallic> where would one go to setup a creative webcam in hardy???
[18:15] <_Zeus_> pmann: you say you booted to the ubuntu CD?
[18:16] <v4vijayakumar> how to join IRC channels from pidgin..?
[18:16] <pmann> no downloaded online
[18:16] <_Zeus_> v4vijayakumar: /j #channel
[18:16] <natalisushka> _Zeus_, I have 8.04!
[18:16] <v4vijayakumar> I have a freenode user name
[18:16] <_Zeus_> pmann: ok, so you downloaded it, then you burned a cd, then you put it iin, then you rebooted?
[18:16] <d_dyer> i am sorry but i cant drag the trash to my desktop and i dont know how to make a -s of it
[18:16] <_Zeus_> natalisushka: sorry, i didn't get the thing that you reinstalled.
[18:16] <natalisushka> jorrit, what do you mean power management problem? And what will that command do?
[18:16] <pmann> yes burned a cd
[18:17] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: run this command: ln -s ~/.local/share/Trash/files ~/Desktop
[18:17] <Izinucs> pmann: not downloaded.. but how did you start the install process.. 1> boot into windows then put in the cd made from the download or 2> put the cd in and rebooted the machine.
[18:17] <pmann> put it drive and intalled
[18:17] <pmann> from cd
[18:17] <natalisushka> _Zeus_, what do you mean? What is it that you didn't get exactly?
[18:17] <v4vijayakumar> I will try that _zeus
[18:17] <pmann> then it restarted computer
[18:17] <jorrit> natalisushka, This command will turn off acpi power mgmt support and (sometimes buggy) lapic implementations in the kernel
[18:17] <_Zeus_> pmann: were you in windows when you installed?
[18:17] <_Zeus_> natalisushka: when you said it worked in a previous installation, i thought you meant it worked in hardy and doesn't in intrepid
[18:17] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: looks like he did it from a cold boot.
[18:18] <_Zeus_> but never mind, i was just being dumb
[18:18] <pmann> yes was running windows
[18:18] <pmann> but the cd rebooted the computer
[18:18] <Izinucs> maybe i'm wrong.
[18:18] <_Zeus_> Izinucs: does Wubi reboot after install?
[18:18] <v4vijayakuma1> ha! ha! its working... :)
[18:18] <d_dyer> ok thanks _Zeus_
[18:18] <jorrit> brb, getting some dinner
[18:18] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: I've no idea.. never used it.
[18:18] <_Zeus_> pmann: is the ubuntu cd still in the drive?
[18:18] <v4vijayakuma1> oh no
[18:18] <_Zeus_> take it out
[18:18] <pmann> no it is not
[18:18] <_Zeus_> hmm
[18:18] <v4vijayakuma1> my nickname is changed
[18:19] <case^> how broken is my HD http://paste.ubuntu.com/48358/
[18:19] <_Zeus_> and right now, you are in ubuntu only, not ubuntu running in windows
[18:19] <Izinucs> pmann: so windows was on the screen and you put the cd in the drive and made your choices.  At the end it rbooted.. right? _Zeus_
[18:19] <pmann> yes it seems so
[18:19] <natalisushka> _Zeus_, I mentioned it's the same installation .. I had 8.04 before and compiz worked, now I reinstalled the same 8.04 but compiz doesn't work. that's not the issue, I just ment to explain how symptoms of my problem appeared when effects are ON
[18:19] <pmann> have never seen windows since
[18:19] <_Zeus_> natalisushka: I GET IT
[18:19] <d_dyer> _Zeus_:It says command not found,i ran that command in the terminal
[18:19] <v4vijayakuma1> hi
[18:19] <_Zeus_> Izinucs: i think he did a full install
[18:19] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: what did you exactly type?
[18:19] <natalisushka> jorrit, Command not found
[18:19] <_Zeus_> oh wait
[18:19] <d_dyer> -s ~/.local/share/Trash/files ~/Desktop
[18:19] <_Zeus_> !danger
[18:20] <_Zeus_> ln -s ~/.local/share/Trash/files ~/Desktop/Trash
[18:20] <_Zeus_> run that one
[18:20] <spartan1> Hello all, does anyone know of a software to take pictures of video clips in ubuntu?
[18:20] <_Zeus_> pmann: i think windows is gone
[18:20] <_Zeus_> Izinucs: you agree?
[18:20] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: then the son made some bad choices when the install got to the partitioning section... might be best to reinstall fresh using the entire drive to eliminate the extended partition install.
[18:20] <natalisushka> jorrit, what exactly is that command? Can you type it again?
[18:20] <pmann> seems like it would have given a warning if it was going to overwrite windows
[18:20] <_Zeus_> pmann: it does
[18:21] <d_dyer> No that one didnt work either _Zeus_
[18:21] <cherico> what games do you guys play on ubuntu ?

[18:21] <_Zeus_> and it said not found??
[18:21] <Izinucs> _Zeus_: pmann ... looks like a full install and Windows is gone.. pmann see my post above to _Zeus_ about the coices.
[18:21] <d_dyer> no but it didnt put a icon on my desktop
[18:21] <cherico> my nvidia driver doesnt work
[18:22] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: type ls ~/Desktop/Trash
[18:22] <hischild> case^, not an expert, but seems to have recovered fine.
[18:22] <d_dyer> ok
[18:22] <_Zeus_> case^: no, just reboot
[18:22] <_Zeus_> looks fine to me
[18:22] <chubs> case^, you're fine
[18:22] <_Zeus_> just a couple errors, that's all
[18:22] <pmann> would it help if I went to terminal and told it to boot a different partition or can you tell from the other stuff I pasted that there is no ohter drive?
[18:22] <case^> thanks guys
[18:23] <_Zeus_> pmann: i can tell there is nothing other than ubuntu
[18:23] <pmann> ok
[18:23] <pmann> thanks
[18:23] <pmann> for your help
[18:23] <_Zeus_> sure
[18:23] <pmann> I am so hosed I cannot believe it
[18:24] <pmann> the instruction sounded so windows friendly
[18:24] <d_dyer> No that didnt work either,it put a regular folder on the desktop _Zeus_
[18:24] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: and if you double-click on it?
[18:24] <_Zeus_> pmann: they are if you follow them
[18:25] <d_dyer> i put a word doc. in it and there was not an option to empty trash
[18:25] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: there won't be
[18:25] <_Zeus_> it's not a trash can; it's a shortcut to where the files are stores
[18:25] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: did you try dragging the trashcan to the desktop like i said?
[18:25] <d_dyer> i did it before and it was like the little icon on the bottom bar
[18:26] <d_dyer> yes
[18:26] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: so, it worked
[18:26] <d_dyer> no,not dragging it
[18:27] <_Zeus_> d_dyer: well, i don't know what else to do
