[20:30] <Elementary-Schoo> hi, first time doing this, please excuse any faux pas. Installing precise for a group of 1st grade classrooms. Have windows share server. Need easy way for kids to login to their windows share. Possible to use GUI (File > Connect to server > ip addr, share, username, group, password), but looking for easy way for 1st graders to input just username/password. Thanks.
[20:33] <highvoltage> hi Elementary-Schoo
[20:33] <highvoltage> it's possible to create a bookmark in their file browser for that network share
[20:33]  * highvoltage sees if there's any documentation for that somewhere
[20:37] <Elementary-Schoo> Thanks highvoltage  :-)  I can create a bookmark once I login to a specific share. I don't know how to create a bookmark for a generic login that will then ask the 1st grader for his/her username and password.
[20:39] <highvoltage> Elementary-Schoo: I couldn't find a nice doc, just starting up a VM right now where I can try it out and let you know...
[20:40] <Elementary-Schoo> You are a god-send  :-)  Thanks!
[20:43] <highvoltage> Elementary-Schoo: when you create a bookmark for a user,
[20:44] <highvoltage> Elementary-Schoo: it goes into the file called .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks
[20:44] <highvoltage> Elementary-Schoo: so if you set up one user with the bookmarks that you'd like in there, you can create a directory called /etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0 and put that bookmarks file in there
[20:44] <highvoltage> so basically:
[20:45] <highvoltage> 1. set up a user with the bookmarks you'd like
[20:45] <highvoltage> sudo mkdir /etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0
[20:45] <highvoltage> cp .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks /etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0
[20:45] <highvoltage> then when you create new users they'd have that bookmark
[20:46] <highvoltage> for existing users you would just have to place that file there
[20:47] <Elementary-Schoo> Okay!  I'll give it a shot. Thank you soooo much! I might be back for more hints (not too tech savvy).
[20:48] <highvoltage> no problem. these questions are useful, I think we should have a tool that does things like that for you.
[21:29] <Elementary-Schoo> Hi, I'm back. I couldn't find .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks, but I did find .gtk-bookmarks in my home folder. In .gtk-bookmarks, there is a location of an existing bookmark. So I was thinking, is there a way that I could use that location in a script?


[09:54] <carthik> f0rqu3, okay. I think you might be using compiz after all. You can change how that happens in the gconf-editor. fo rthis, type alt+f2 and then type gconf-editor and press enter. this will bring up the configuration editor. Now you have to choose "apps"->"compiz" and then find the option that controls the minimize effect and change it to none.
[09:54] <ubotu> nilsgodecke try this first: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:54] <IndyGunFreak> !calendar
[09:54] <ubotu> calendar is at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event
[09:55] <Curs0r> !emulators
[09:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about emulators - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:55] <hekman> i am afraid i am stuck with evolution
[09:55] <Curs0r> where can I get a pcsx2 0.9.3 package?
[09:55] <Pelo> Curs0r, google, it'S on their site
[09:56] <Curs0r> Pelo, I can't get it to build
[09:57] <Pelo> Curs0r, as I recall you donT' have much to build,  lyou just run it,  I helped someone with that a while back   , but he needed to get a few extra packages from the site to get the cd and stuffworking properly
[09:58] <Pelo> Curs0r,  jsut read the readme and install files in the package
[09:58] <Alloos1> I restarted network and it disconnected me from the net
[09:58] <matthew_> anyone know any good language learning software for linux
[09:59] <Pelo> zirra-meeting, I'm getting a lot of forum resluts on "usb mouse lag"  maybe those can help you
[09:59] <alexluft> carthik: when I try to run the command in Terminal it tells me it must be run as root; I'm logged on as administrator
[09:59] <erUSUL> alexluft: use sudo
[09:59] <IndyGunFreak> hekman: what calendar app did you use w/ Windows?
[09:59] <n00dl3> alexluft: ...administrator?
[10:00] <hekman> IndyGunFreak: Outlook :)
[10:00] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: I'm reading through them still, but so far none of them are relative.
[10:00] <IndyGunFreak> hekman: could you run it under Wine?
[10:00] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: The mouse itself isn't laggy... only clicking is.
[10:00] <hekman> IndyGunFreak: but I want to use mutt for my email and something else for calendaring
[10:00] <hekman> IndyGunFreak: kinda defeats the purpose :)
[10:00] <IndyGunFreak> i see... was just brainstorming..
[10:00] <hekman> yeah
[10:00] <carthik> alexluft, so you must run it with sudo before it - as $sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:00] <hekman> i mean i can use Evolution, but it's a little bloated for what I want to do
[10:01] <Pelo> zirra-meeting maybe jsut checking in the mouse settings for dbl click speed ans tuff like that if available
[10:01] <alexluft> carthik: ok, let me try
[10:01] <alexluft> carthik: same thing
[10:01] <f0rqu3> carthik, go to Applications/System Tools/Configuration editor/apps/metacity/general/ and check the box reduced-resources hope this helps.
[10:02] <carthik> f0rqu3, ??
[10:02] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: actually, using the double click timeout checker (clicking the little lightbulb) it works -great-.  It seems to only be when I click and drag.
[10:02] <vocx> For reference, here is a web page explaining what "Error Loading Operating System" means. A proof that it is not a Linux error. It happened before in Windows. http://whocares.de/2004/12/28/error-loading-operating-system/
[10:02] <carthik> alexluft, well, that should work, since that is how you can run a command as the root user.
[10:03] <Pelo> zirra-meeting,  you have reached the end of my troubleshooting skills, please move on to the next helper
[10:03] <ralphius> ik ben moe
[10:03] <zirra-meeting> Pelo: thanks anyways :/

[10:04] <Pelo> later folks
[10:04] <Bensel> Anyone know how to get microphone recording not to be ridiculously quiet on 6.06 with an HDA Intel card?
[10:04] <carthik> alexluft, no problem
[10:04] <JeevesMoss> #can someone help me figure out why I can't connect to my ISPconfig admin page?
[10:05] <matthew_> anyone know any good language learning software for linux
[10:05] <snowy> Bensel:i dont have admin rights
[10:05] <david__> matthew english
[10:05] <Bensel> snowy: Uhhh, get the admin to do it? :P
[10:05] <pvl> someone know how to set up microphones to record
[10:05] <snowy> i am the admin D:
[10:05] <ubuntu> I think i basically need to reset all the drivers as though it were a new install
[10:05] <snowy> thats the thing
[10:05] <Bensel> pvl: Yes
[10:05] <snowy> i kept miss typing the password >< at like 3 am
[10:05] <Bensel> snowy: Then do su and enter root's password
[10:05] <snowy> after the third time
[10:05] <snowy> my computer locked up
[10:05] <n00dl3> snowy: sudo maybe
[10:05] <snowy> i tried that =\
[10:06] <Xteven> hi, does ubuntu have a tool to do video tutorials with audio, but without having to use flash ?
[10:06] <snowy> sudo stopped working all together
[10:06] <zirra-meeting> I'm having two problems.  One, my mouse clicks on my usb logitech track ball seem to lag behind by a second or two.  Two, my wireless network disconnects every once in a while and won't reconnect no matter what I do (when it connects it works fine, so I know that the WPA keys are correct).
[10:06] <pvl> besnsel when i speak into my microphone the sound goes out onto my speaker, but no program will record
[10:06] <timposey_> Hello trying to run Kino and getting the message "dv1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/dv1394/0"
[10:06] <n00dl3> snowy: ahhh what did you do? :P
[10:06] <kitche> snowy: sounds like you locked yourself out of sudo
[10:06] <Bensel> pvl: It's probably ridiculously quiet on recording
[10:06] <Bensel> Which is my problem atm
[10:06] <snowy> i think i did >.<
[10:06] <Bensel> And is why I'm here >_>
[10:06] <snowy> everything under system >admin
[10:06] <snowy> most the stuff is gone there D:
[10:06] <pvl> besnel no everything is sky high
[10:06] <Curs0r> zerogs.h:37:21: error: Cg/cgGL.h: No such file or directory what package do I need for that?
[10:06] <Falstius> silly full screen games don't like my dual monitors.
[10:06] <kitche> snowy: what does groups say in a terminal?
[10:07] <Bensel> Try recording music ridiculously loudly with the microphone up to the speaker and see if anything comes out
[10:07] <snowy> ?
[10:07] <david__> can anyone tell me it the themes under system-preferences-themes are gtk or metacity? and where can i download more?
[10:07] <Bensel> That's what I had to do to tell that my microphone was just ueberquiet for some reason
[10:07] <snowy> i cant even write a cd its that bad D:
[10:07] <Bensel> snowy: Use the Ubuntu boot CD, mount your hard drive, and edit /etc/sudoers from there
[10:07] <killown> (synaptic:13299): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[10:07] <killown> can anyone help me?
[10:08] <pvl> besnel no nothing records at all
[10:08] <snowy> thats the thing...
[10:08] <snowy> i dont have the original install disc...
[10:08] <snowy> thats in hawaii...
[10:08] <Bensel> Then download damn small linux or something
[10:08] <snowy> i left it there while i was visiting >.<
[10:08] <Bensel> Wait, no CD-burn ability
[10:08] <snowy> i cant burn discs D:
[10:08] <Bensel> Fleh
[10:08] <Bensel> 16:08 < pvl> besnel no nothing records at all
[10:08] <Bensel> Tried switching input source from mic to front mic and back quickly?
[10:09] <pvl> besnel how do i do that?
[10:09] <Bensel> run alsamixer in a terminal
[10:09] <pvl> bensel i have only 1 mic plug on the back
[10:09] <Bensel> So do I
[10:09] <Bensel> But Ubuntu's sound support is terrible, so...
[10:09] <snowy> D: does anyone know how i could do it without needing a cd?
[10:10] <Bensel> (not to troll, it just is, I have yet to have a non-rip-my-eyes-out experience with sound on Linux)
[10:10] <mheath> Bensel, Sounds like you have a few soundcards that are coincidentally all poorly supported.
[10:10] <david__> snowy i once heard of a prog to access the linux fylesystem from win[explore2fs]
[10:11] <pvl> besnel i agree, second time i hvae to deal with this, last time was my ac97-laptop but i got that working
[10:11] <OuechMaisNonch> hi all
[10:11] <mheath> Most sound cards work very well, out of the box now.
[10:11] <Bensel> mheath: Meh
[10:11] <vocx> zirra-meeting, the wireless error may be due to a bad driver, a bug in the driver or hardware. To fix it you really need to provide more info. I would suggest you treat your problems (mouse and wireless) separately to avoid confusions.
[10:11] <mheath> My two laptops and two desktops all have sound that works perfectly in Linux
[10:11] <snowy> david__: yea... but the thing is i cant burn discs
[10:11] <mheath> And they're all just random computers purchased at Best Buy
[10:11] <Bensel> Interesting coincidence that a sorta-random sample of six sound cards has failed up to now
[10:11] <OuechMaisNonch> anyone knows how to incerase the number of lignes scrolled by the mouse wheel please?
[10:11] <vocx> !enter | Bensel
[10:11] <ubotu> Bensel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:11] <david__> snowy, start win and download it
[10:11] <david__> no need to burn
[10:12] <Bensel> ubotu: Sorry
[10:12] <ubotu> It's ok, I can't stay mad at you.
[10:12] <snowy> ?
[10:12] <MarcoPau> I'm recording with audacity and I get a loud beep as background, do you know what it could be?
[10:12] <snowy> what do u mean ?
[10:12] <david__> it is a program
[10:12] <david__> no a live cd
[10:12] <pvl> mean ur recording is too loud
[10:12] <Bensel> Another question then
[10:13] <david__> MarcoPau, try getting farther away from speakers
[10:13] <Don64> Snowy look here :  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword?highlight=%28password%29
[10:13] <MarcoPau> pvl: the voice is actually pretty low, the beep is loud
[10:13] <MarcoPau> david__: I'm already very far away
[10:13] <Bensel> I can't seem to burn things at full speed with my new DVD burner
[10:13] <david__> then i dont know
[10:13] <pvl> im getting no recording at all
[10:13] <Bensel> I get like 4x (of 16x) on DVD-Rs and 8x (of 54x) on CD-Rs
[10:13] <Falstius> MarcoPau: turn up the recording rate (like 48khz)
[10:13] <snowy> thx don
[10:13] <Don64> NP

[10:14] <zirra-meeting> vocx:  I'm not sure what changed for it.
[10:14] <pvl> turning up to 48 didnt do anything for me...

[10:14] <MarcoPau> +s
[10:14] <riotkittie> err. can i do something to a txt file composed under linux so it's readable on windows? without all those dang boxes? :o
[10:14] <pvl> and ive been on forums and sites for the apst 2 days trying to figure this out
[10:14] <ZeroTolerance> I need some help please, I am getting error nvalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'.
[10:15] <neverblue> pvl, whats the issue?
[10:15] <vocx> zirra-meeting, kernel updates, driver updates, firmware updates, restricted drivers updates
[10:15] <pvl> riot just save it as a txt file with the correct encoding or use wine
[10:15] <chazco> well, i got it to boot from USB now (was ubuntu)
[10:15] <snowy> im gonna try it...
[10:15] <snowy> brb
[10:15] <pvl> neverblue my issue is that no program will record from my microphone however when i speak into it in general the sound goes to my spealer
[10:15] <riotkittie> pvl > what would be the correct encoding? and using wine seems positively silly.
[10:16] <Jminckoft> I restarted my ubuntu desktop (gutsy) and when it restarted it didn'
[10:16] <zirra-meeting> vocx: no kernel, driver, or firrmware updates.  Recently updated my nvidia driver trying to get hibernate to work.
[10:16] <riyonuk> Can someone guide me through installing a theme? I've been trying for days :(
[10:16] <pvl> riotkittie try western while saving from the text editor
[10:16] <riyonuk> riotkittie, some programs let you save it for windows or linux :D
[10:16] <riotkittie> pvl : did that. :|  still get that box.
[10:16] <pvl> its under character coding
[10:16] <pvl> oh
[10:17] <riotkittie> riyonuk: can you think of a program that does off the top of your head?
[10:17] <neverblue> pvl, can you hear the mic in any application?
[10:17] <pvl> riotkittie sorry mate idk
[10:17] <pvl> neverblue no i cannot
[10:17] <neverblue> pvl, is the mic a working mic?
[10:17] <pvl> enverblue well since what i say into it is amplyfied onto my speaker i assume it works
[10:17] <riyonuk> riotkittie, umm crimsion editor? scite? notepad++?
[10:17] <riyonuk> riotkittie, nvu?
[10:18] <pvl> *amplified
[10:18] <riotkittie> i could stop being lazy and just pull the cable from my router, walk around and plug it into my desktop... so i could post it from linux. but. i'm lazy.
[10:18] <neverblue> pvl, i wouldnt assume that
[10:18] <pvl> neverblue ill see if i have another mic then, 1 moment plz
[10:18] <neverblue> pvl, have you turned the mic on, in the sounds settings?
[10:18] <pvl> neverblue yes i have
[10:18] <MarcoPau> Falstius: now if I try playing the audio from audacity it complains about the device, when firefox is up (maybe due to pending flash videos)
[10:18] <vocx> riotkittie, "unix2dos" or "dos2unix", search them through synaptic or aptitude. Only notepad can't understand this end of line problem, most other text editors can.
[10:18] <neverblue> pvl do you have an other devices/apps using audio atm?
[10:19] <riotkittie> or. i could just ... manually delete the boxes.
[10:19] <Bensel> Again, anyone have any idea why my DVD burner is going at far slower speeds than it should?
[10:19] <pvl> neverblue not that i know off
[10:19] <riotkittie> but that would, you know, be proactive. and make sense.
[10:19] <neverblue> pvl, so you have all audio applications off, and you try the mic and nothing?
[10:19] <kitche> Bensel: because you tell the burning app to burn at a slower speed
[10:19] <Falstius> MarcoPau: does audacity support esd?
[10:19] <riotkittie> Bensel >  have you set the speed in the programs options?
[10:20] <Bensel> riotkittie: Yes
[10:20] <Bensel> kitche: Nope
[10:20] <neverblue> pvl does the mic have a volume control/on/off control?
[10:20] <pvl> neverblue well i just plugged in a different microphone and when i speak into it nothing happens at all
[10:20] <Bensel> All the programs I've tried accept the option for the correct speed but then actually burn slower
[10:20] <neverblue> pvl, pluggin it into the correct (female) slot?
[10:20] <pvl> neverblue my previosu microphone did and it was always on and when i spoke into it the sound would go to the speaker
[10:20] <Bensel> (namely nautilus' burner, gnomebaker, and k3b)
[10:20] <riotkittie> I'm having wireless issues :'(
[10:20] <pvl> neverblue yes defiently
[10:20] <Bensel> (and arson)
[10:21] <Jminckoft> I restarted my ubuntu desktop (gutsy) and when it had finished loading, it didnt recognized my monitor (emachines TFT1560PS) but it did come up because i heard the sound on the logon screen. Is there a way i can fix this? (sorry about that incident earlier, fat finger then i got dced)
[10:21] <neverblue> pvl not sure why your sound is going to your speaker, directly, but I posted quite a few questions to consider
[10:21] <neverblue> pvl, you might want to go back through them and recheck your settings
[10:21] <riotkittie> Jminckoft > have you poked around in xorg.conf? or tried to reconfigure?
[10:21] <pvl> neverblue yes i know, ima keep playing around with this
[10:21] <pvl> neverblue thank you though
[10:22] <Jminckoft> riotkittie, Nope, but there was an update for xorg that i downloaded shortly before i restarted
[10:22] <zirra-meeting> I'm having two seperate problems.  One, my mouse clicks on my usb logitech track ball seem to lag behind by a second or two.  Two, my wireless network disconnects every once in a while and won't reconnect no matter what I do (when it connects it works fine, so I know that the WPA keys are correct).
[10:22] <riotkittie> Jminckoft have you asked in #ubuntu-+1 (or is it #ubuntu+1 ?)
[10:22] <spacecat> does anyone know where that list is on the ubuntu site of people in your area that have ubuntu iso's?  I can't find it any more (& my laptop is crashing!)
[10:23] <riotkittie> someone there might be able to give you a better answer.

[10:26] <PriceChild> Cobolt01, sorry for the inconvenience, we are dealing with the issue.
[10:27] <riotkittie> riyonuk: i've been stuck in windows nonstop for like a month.  :|  i'm getting sick of it.

[10:27] <Cobolt01> I misconfigured and destroyed X the otherday
[10:27] <Bensel> 16:25 < riotkittie> i'm tempted to just give up on linux on my desktop :\
[10:27] <Bensel> Hehe, I can't count the number of times I've said that
[10:27] <Bensel> But I seriously can't go back to Windows anymore
[10:27] <riotkittie> and i mean, if i'd just swap the cable out of my router and into my card... i'd be able to get online. but.  cant realllllly do that.
[10:28] <mo0n_sniper> who could
[10:28] <riyonuk> riotkittie, you dont like windows or linux?
[10:28] <riyonuk> pssh I can
[10:28] <riyonuk> its soo much faster, easier, uglier :D
[10:28] <Kopcap> hm... em... neverblue i need to access ubuntu from windows.. em.. will that do too? i think this is how to access windows from ubuntu
[10:28] <Bensel> Of course, coding on Windows is the most horrible mess after doing it on Linux, not really sure about normal user use
[10:29] <snowy> D: im still locked out from sudo >.<
[10:29] <linux_> hi for all
[10:29] <lip> hi
[10:29] <linux_> i want ask about compiz

[10:29] <linux_> it not work will
[10:29] <Kopcap> ok thanks *reading*
[10:29] <mo0n_sniper> going back to windows will be a major downgrade
[10:29] <linux_> helloooooooooooooo
[10:29] <vocx> Bensel, please you are going off topic. This is a support channel. Discuss your experiences at #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:29] <Don64> ask again maybe someone else knows what to do
[10:29] <riotkittie> linux_: of course it doesn't work well.
[10:29] <neverblue> !patience | linux_
[10:29] <riotkittie> isn't it still unstable?

[10:30] <snowy> D: i did the thing u gave me don64 but it didnt do much?
[10:30] <PriceChild> linux_, #ubuntu-effects please. It is alpha software.
[10:30] <snowy> since thats only the lost password it still has me locked out from sudoers
[10:30] <neverblue> spacecat, people?
[10:30] <spacecat> yeah, there was a list before of people listed geographically
[10:30] <Bensel> vocx: Sorry X_x
[10:30] <spacecat> I need to find someone in Antwerp with an iso, my laptop's burning out
[10:31] <mo0n_sniper> yesterday i was installing something and it said : "requires windows 98 or better" so i installed ubuntu
[10:31] <snowy> xD
[10:31] <jisatsu> I have gaim running, but it's in the system tray thing. how can I bring up the buddy list without a mouse?
[10:31] <riotkittie> err. if people were able to get my usb adapter working under breezy and dapper, hypothetically, i should be able to use it under feisty, right?
[10:31] <neverblue> spacecat, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
[10:31] <snowy> =\
[10:31] <riotkittie> maybe i should downgrade and see if that helps. but. i'll miss my cube. <weep>.
[10:32] <mo0n_sniper> hay how do you show the cube?
[10:32] <snowy> does anyone know how to readd urself to sudoer's?
[10:32] <snowy> without a use of cd..
[10:32] <vocx> jisatsu, you can control the pointer with the keyboard. Set it in keyboard > accessibility  or something. Very useful feature.
[10:32] <spacecat> neverblue: no I mean people that have physical cd iso's I can borrow
[10:32] <timposey_> does 7.04 have raw 1394 support?
[10:32] <jisatsu> vocx: cheers, I'll try it :)

[10:33] <riotkittie> mo0n_sniper > err. its been so long that i've seen my desktop  i forget. if you have desktop effects enabled, i believed ALT + arrow key
[10:33] <Don64> snowy: look at this http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-change-the-root-password-in-ubuntu
[10:33] <neverblue> spacecat, i never even realized there was such a thing, to be honest
[10:33] <Cobolt01> Where is Ubuntu developed?
[10:33] <Jekhar> Everywhere
[10:33] <neverblue> Cobolt01, the Internet
[10:33] <mo0n_sniper> riotkittie:10x
[10:33] <Bensel> On Earth
[10:33] <Cobolt01> okay, point taken
[10:33] <spacecat> neverblue: was one years ago - someone just gave me http://map.ubuntu-be.org/ - now it's different
[10:33] <riotkittie> snowy: best i can do is tell you to type 'man sudoers' at term.  :|
[10:34] <spacecat> gotta get outta here, laptop burning up ;) thx
[10:34] <neverblue> spacecat, no idea, sorry
[10:34] <Cobolt01> I know one of the founders :P
[10:34] <snowy> o.o
[10:34] <Cobolt01> He's South africna like me
[10:34] <snowy> that works riotkittie
[10:34] <kkathman> Cobolt01:  you obviously have no concept of community development and Linux in general wrt "development" hehe :)
[10:34] <snowy> but wtf do i do now D:
[10:34] <Cobolt01> *South African
[10:34] <Cobolt01> :/

[10:35] <Kcaj> Hey
[10:35] <Kcaj> Is there a softwares
[10:35] <Kcaj> that will help me design electronic circuits?
[10:35] <Kcaj> Like, you know, figure out AND OR NOT XOR XNOR etc. kinda stuff
[10:35] <riotkittie> snowy: you know, you may want to check the forums for sudoers or visudo[?] . i cant really give you an answer as i'm stuck on XP
[10:36] <Kcaj> and build the devices without making them
[10:36] <riotkittie> but i think you need to load visudo[?] , which will let you edit the sudoers file . or something.
[10:36] <speaker219> can anyone help????
[10:36] <riotkittie> speaker219 help with?
[10:36] <snowy> thx though riot

[10:40] <Bensel> It'd be nice not to have to have extensive backups every time I want to update Ubuntu across multiple versions
[10:40] <dgjones> !upgrade | Bensel

[10:41] <riotkittie> if i were going to do it, i'd back my partition up, just in case.
[10:41] <neverblue> Kopcap, if you setup shares with samba, then windows will be able to access them
[10:41] <Bensel> Kcaj: I like tkgate, but there are plenty of them
[10:41] <vocx> !gutsy | wousser
[10:41] <ubotu> wousser: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[10:42] <Kopcap> neverblue 1) how? 2) i don't even see the ubuntu pc on the network :/
[10:42] <Kcaj> tkgate I can simulate a microprocessor, gates, transistors, some LEDs, a quartz clock crystal, etc.?
[10:42] <Bensel> Yes
[10:42] <neverblue> Kopcap, consult your windows documentation :)
[10:42] <Bensel> They even have an example microprocessor built with it
[10:42] <Kopcap> i don't even see ubuntu's workgroup >.<

[10:43] <Kopcap> if i disable the firewall... :D
[10:43] <Kopcap> i can connect to it, but i can't ping it :D
[10:43] <act1v8> mo0n_sniper: well it doesn't seem so, because hcitool scan reports the timeout, but it shouldn't
[10:44] <Kopcap> i can connect to it localy e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:44] <act1v8> it should find another device
[10:45] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and the fixed it. Ideas?
[10:45] <n2diy> the/that
[10:45] <act1v8> can someone please help
[10:45] <eugman> Is compiz easily switched off for cpu intensive programs?
[10:45] <mesapiegrande> What do you need assistance with?
[10:45] <mo0n_sniper> n2diy>i think the network tool has a bug

[10:46] <mo0n_sniper> it happeds to my sometimes
[10:46] <n2diy> mo0n_sniper: But I wasn't using that, I'm using kppp.

[10:52] <Kopcap> can you even connect to your ubuntu pc?
[10:52] <rnewbie> Hi everyone, I'm trying to boot ubuntu/osx/vista, and I'm running into some issues.  I'm able to install ubuntu just fine with grub on disk 0,2.  However, when I try to install Vista, it overwrites my 3rd partition (linux) and puts nothing on it but the boot manager.  Has anyone run into this problem or know a fix for it?
[10:52] <Jin> Rasimu, you need to open a port for ssh
[10:52] <philthy> rnewbie, always install linux last
[10:52] <Jin> Rasimu, should be port number 22
[10:52] <riotkittie> Rasimu: open the port
[10:52] <neverblue> mesapiegrande, /query
[10:52] <riotkittie> err. i'm slow ;\
[10:52] <Rasimu> Jim: how do I do that?
[10:52] <ahmadsaifan> #compiz-fusion #beryl #ubuntu-effects
[10:52] <rnewbie> right now my partitions are 200M EFI, 65G OSX, 6G linux, 40G NTFS

[10:53] <neverblue> Kopcap, ppl do it all over the world
[10:53] <Rasimu> How can I check if the 22 port is closed?
[10:53] <rnewbie> philthy: I tried this, but it overwrites the drive that windows is expecting to host its boot manager
[10:53] <mesapiegrande> Does anyone here have experience with Samba and windows shares?
[10:53] <neverblue> Rasimu, using gnome?
[10:53] <Kopcap> neverblue i feel sorry for them because of what i'm going through now :<
[10:53] <philthy> rnewbie, why not use grub isntead of windows boot loader?
[10:53] <Jin> Rasimu, it is closed by default
[10:53] <neverblue> Kopcap, samba isnt always fun
[10:54] <Kopcap> linux isn't fun :<
[10:54] <B52doc> what does it mean when a guide says to enable Universal Repositories?
[10:54] <timposey_> How do i get ubuntu to recognize my firewire card and video camera
[10:54] <Rasimu> Jin: so where should I configure this?
[10:54] <rnewbie> philthy: well, although that wouldnt be the end of the world, i'd like to be able to boot straight to windows from rEFIt
[10:54] <vocx> !repos | B52doc
[10:54] <ubotu> B52doc: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[10:54] <rnewbie> also, when i install linux over the third parition, it deletes the windows boot manager
[10:54] <Kopcap> neverblue can help me set up samba so i can finally access ubuntu directories?
[10:54] <Jin> Rasimu, try the application called firestarter
[10:54] <Kopcap> :<
[10:54] <rnewbie> and it freaks out and cries and fights with me
[10:54] <neverblue> B52doc, if you look in your sources.list, there are universal repos
[10:55] <Kopcap> ftp uploading is quite uncomfortable :/
[10:55] <BLARG_> Hey, can anyone tell me if it's possible to add an ubuntu install to the windows boot.ini.  I just installed it and the bootloader didn't load properly.
[10:55] <Kopcap> especially for programming >.<
[10:55] <Jin> Rasimu, firestarter is a tool for you to configure the firewall
[10:55] <neverblue> Kopcap, I was under the impression that samba was already setup, and you were looking to have windows access the linux drives?
[10:55] <B52doc> ok
[10:55] <rnewbie> when i try to boot straight to the vista partition, it says no bootmgr and says to hit ctrl alt del
[10:55] <Kopcap> neverblue yup
[10:56] <neverblue> Kopcap, ssh, cvs, subversion
[10:56] <Rasimu> Jin, is it a command line util?
[10:56] <harveyd> does anyone know how to enable mod_rewrite with apache2 in ubuntu(7.04)
[10:56] <Sivik> rnewbie: vista=crap
[10:56] <neverblue> Kopcap, then its a question for the windows rooms :)
[10:56] <exs> I am trying to mount an UIF file (bit like iso), so far i've got "sudo mount file.uif /media/iso/ -t UIF -o loop"; but it's not working, if anyone can help - that would be great
[10:56] <Jin> Rasimu, a GUI
[10:56] <solekiller> wtf?@#
[10:56] <solekiller> oh heres the nick list
[10:56] <Rasimu> Jin: hmm I don't have a gui on that box
[10:56] <madman91> hey guys
[10:56] <Kopcap> neverblue i have ssh and cvs i think :)
[10:56] <timposey> Does anyone know how to install firewire as ubuntu does not seem to recognize the firewire IEEE 1394 card
[10:56] <Ziox> i need help dearly [10:56] <neverblue> hey madman91
[10:57] <Jin> Rasimu, then you need a shell script
[10:57] <neverblue> Kopcap, can you view the windows shares on the linux box?
[10:57] <harveyd> actually, i think i figured it out
[10:57] <Kopcap> nope
[10:57] <Jin> Rasimu, do a search on Kiss my firewall using google
[10:57] <madman91> i just installed the cli version of ubuntu from the alternate cd.. i installed it on comp A .. then moved it to comp B .. now it no longer has eth0 or any internet.. ?
[10:57] <Rasimu> Jin, but you guess it's a firewall thingy?
[10:57] <Jin> Rasimu, it is a very easy shell script to config your firewall
[10:57] <neverblue> Kopcap, then samba isnt setup and possibly windows isnt sharing yet either
[10:57] <Jin> Rasimu, yea
[10:57] <Rasimu> Jin, thanks a lot
[10:57] <neverblue> Kopcap, sounds like you have a bit of reading to do :)
[10:57] <Rasimu> Jin, will check it out
[10:58] <Jin> Rasimu, if you have the port open on your ubuntu and still can't ssh into it, check your router/switch
[10:58] <Kopcap> neverblue i think samba isn't running, 'cuz i don't see it in the system monitor :D
[10:58] <solekiller> i used ndiswrapper to install my wifi card (bcm43xx minichip) and now and befor i couldnt use monitoring
[10:58] <solekiller> nor scanning
[10:58] <Remo_A> hi all
[10:58] <BLARG_> Anyone?  I just need to see if I can add ubuntu to boot.ini so I can start it up and add a bootloader
[10:58] <B52doc> omg lol
[10:58] <vocx> solekiller, ndiswrapper can only use "managed" or "ad-hoc" modes, no master nor monitor nor other modes are available.
[10:58] <madman91> i just installed a cli version of ubuntu... i instaleld it in computer A.. everything worked.. now when i moved the hdd to computer B there is no eth0 .. and no internet
[10:59] <solekiller> does anyone know of a good usb stick wifi that is supported on outof the box on ubuntu with monitoring scanning and posiblly injection?
[10:59] <mad-sibyl> uh ... something... I did not on the forum is used Linux software .. Now, i used was that error means that I try /media folder. how did now see things will be instide of them
[10:59] <Remo_A> how are machines called again, that are totally useless, but enormous complicated, even complicating their original purpose of solving some mechanical problem.
[10:59] <neverblue> BLARG_, I am assuming you install ubuntu before installing windows?
[10:59] <Remo_A> ?
[10:59] <Ziox> i need help dearly [10:59] <berent> !flash
[10:59] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[10:59] <j85wilson> Remo_A: Rube Goldberg machines
[10:59] <berent> !gnash
[10:59] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[10:59] <Jin> madman91, Linux is not like Windows
[10:59] <Remo_A> j85wilson: exactly, thank you!
[10:59] <BLARG_> neverblue: no, actually the other way around, but windows was not on the primary drive or partition, so I think grub had a problem with that
[11:00] <Jin> madman91, check the name of your network card and reconfigure it
[11:00] <madman91> Jin: how do i do that?
[11:00] <neverblue> BLARG_, grub should have set it up in the install, not sure why it wouldnt :)
[11:00] <Jin> madman91, is it a wired network?
[11:00] <madman91> Jin: there is only lo .. no ethX
[11:00] <madman91> Jin: yes
[11:00] <B52doc> I give up
[11:00] <solekiller> lspci?
[11:00] <B52doc> I am out
[11:00] <solekiller> ifconfig?
[11:00] <madman91> solekiller: only lo shows up in ifconfig
[11:00] <matzino> try testing the devices with ifconfig
[11:00] <solekiller> oh
[11:00] <BLARG_> neverblue: I thought so too, but I tried installing twice and it isn't loading it up, goes straight into windows
[11:01] <solekiller> lspci then
[11:01] <Jin> madman91, umm...  did you /sbin/ifconfig -a ?
[11:01] <n2diy> madman91: ifup ethX
[11:01] <berent> can anyone tell me which webdesign tool have cnettv used?
[11:01] <neverblue> BLARG_, do you see the linux partition on the drive?
[11:01] <solekiller> does anyone know of a good usb stick wifi that is supported on outof the box on ubuntu with monitoring scanning and posiblly injection?
[11:01] <madman91> Jin: :) its there as eth1
[11:01] <madman91> because it still remembers the eth0 from comp A .. right?
[11:01] <Jin> madman91, then your card works
[11:02] <madman91> i couldnt ifup eth1
[11:02] <Jin> madman91, just do ifup eth1
[11:02] <spectre__> hi to all.
[11:02] <BLARG_> neverblue, yes, but not from windows
[11:02] <matzino> good night i'm trying to get a blank page in horizontal position but i can't find the option, do you know this option?
[11:02] <spectre__> Is there a network port scanner under ubuntu ? thanks to all
[11:02] <madman91> Jin: ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1
[11:02] <Jin> madman91, what do you mean you couldn't ifup eth1?
[11:02] <Scunizi> matzino, what program ?
[11:02] <wayoutthere> Hi. How can I tell if I am behind a firewall? If I am behind one how can I allow Firefox to bypass it?
[11:02] <Radish> hey, I have just succeeded in migrating my father's computer to ubuntu, and im wondering what's the best way to play windows games?
[11:02] <philthy> spectre__, nmap
[11:03] <matzino> to play windows games try cedega
[11:03] <Jin> madman91, try ifconfig eth1 up
[11:03] <Radish> tried it, no luck
[11:03] <spectre__> thanks philthy
[11:03] <j85wilson> mad-sibyl: prophesy
[11:03] <mad-sibyl> f-locks?
[11:03] <madman91> Jin: ok.. that one worked.. but now i still cannot ping google.com
[11:03] <matzino> oh cedega does not support al games, cedega works with wine
[11:03] <kunemio> can samone help me i have instaled ati drivers and dont have sound now :/
[11:03] <neverblue> BLARG_, then how do you see it, if not from Windows?
[11:03] <philthy> spectre__, no problem.
[11:04] <matzino> some games works with scumvm
[11:04] <solekiller> when i do iwlist scanning eth1 gives me no results
[11:04] <Jin> madman91, are you using a router? or a switch?
[11:04] <neverblue> BLARG_, and if u can view it, is there files (from the install) on it?
[11:04] <madman91> Jin: router
[11:04] <solekiller> and im pretty sure there are working aps around
[11:04] <Jin> madman91, try /sbin/dhclient eth1
[11:04] <Radish> well the games are AOE2, AOE3, Commandos: Behind enemy lines, Project IGI
[11:04] <Radish> none work :)
[11:04] <vsbuffalo> hey all, I have two monitors working, with one mirroring the other - is there any easy way to configure X to get dual monitor support
[11:04] <solekiller> when i do iwlist scanning eth1 gives me no results
[11:04] <solekiller> and im pretty sure there are working aps around
[11:04] <BLARG_> neverblue: it's an ext3 partition, so I can't access the files from xp anyway that I know of.  But I can see that it's there and properly formated from Partition Magic
[11:05] <kunemio> Can samone help me with sound ???
[11:05] <madman91> Jin: sweetness.. thanks :) .. but how would i setup a static ip? on ubuntu..
[11:05] <vocx> !ext3 | BLARG_
[11:05] <ubotu> BLARG_: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[11:05] <Scunizi> !twinview | vsbuffalo
[11:05] <ubotu> vsbuffalo: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[11:05] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?
[11:05] <madman91> Jin: the router automatically gives the computer an ip based on mac adress.. i would like ubuntu to accept it without checking with dhcp everytime
[11:05] <vsbuffalo> thans ubotu I'll look into it
[11:05] <Jin> madman91, ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>  is an example
[11:05] <vocx> !thanks | vsbuffalo
[11:05] <ubotu> vsbuffalo: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[11:05] <solekiller> argh
[11:06] <mad-sibyl> though
[11:06] <kunemio> can anyone help noob ??
[11:06] <vsbuffalo> hah
[11:06] <DWSR> hey all.
[11:06] <neverblue> BLARG_, yes, thats a good start, now what are you doing when the install asks you to setup the grub boot loader?
[11:06] <IndyGunFreak> !ask | kunemio
[11:06] <ubotu> kunemio: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:06] <kunemio> i asked it :/
[11:06] <n0ur> im downloading ubuntu with ftp client ... what exactly should i do after if finishes ?
[11:06] <directLink> if I change the partitions on the harddisk on which I have installed, using widows, wouldn't then grub just give me an error?
[11:06] <IndyGunFreak> !ptience | kunemio
[11:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ptience - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:06] <solekiller> man im going back to debian
[11:07] <IndyGunFreak> !patience | kunemio

[11:07] <BLARG_> Install never asks me about a bootloader, it asks about the partition I want to use, and a username
[11:07] <Scunizi> n0ur, burn the ISO image to a cd as an image not data.
[11:07] <dapallox1> hey, can someone tell me if they know how to enable usb support in Qemu
[11:07] <BLARG_> I just realized I'm using 7.10 alpha 4 though, so maybe that's the problem
[11:07] <IndyGunFreak> lol, probably
[11:08] <Kopcap> neverblue how do i start samba? O.o
[11:08] <dapallox1> anyone?
[11:08] <neverblue> Kopcap, its in the documentation
[11:08] <Scunizi> Kopcap, /etc/init.d/samba start
[11:08] <j85wilson> IndyGunFreak: he did.  He said he installed ATI drivers, and then sound ceased to work.
[11:08] <Kopcap> Scunizi doesn't work >.<
[11:08] <Scunizi> Kopcap, did you apt-get install samba?
[11:09] <Kopcap> ofc
[11:09] <madman91> Jin: thank you very much :)
[11:09] <voidlogic> Hey everyone, I'm having problems getting a tape drive detected. It works dual booting into windows so I don't think its a hardware issue. Its using the megaraid driver. It should be the 2nd device on channel 0, but I don't see anything but my cd-roms in /proc/scsi/scsi. If I do an lspci I see the hard is indeed detected. It worked for one reboot yesterday for but some reason.
[11:09] <Jin> madman91, yw :)
[11:09] <Scunizi> Kopcap, then what neverblue said above..
[11:09] <Fractal44> Hello, im about to install ubuntu on a laptop I've obtained.. now I notice in xp, it auto detects wireless networks and wifi.. will it do the same on ubuntu? or will I have to install some software.
[11:09] <IndyGunFreak> j85wilson: what are you talking about?
[11:09] <Jin> Fractal44, depends on your card
[11:09] <Scunizi> Fractal44, just depends.. boot to the live cd and see if wireless works.
[11:10] <neverblue> Kopcap, I recommended earlier you do a bit of reading, most of your questions are covered by the documentation, your rolling your wheels in here
[11:10] <j85wilson> IndyGunFreak: ```kunemio: can samone help me i have instaled ati drivers and dont have sound now :/'''
[11:10] <BLARG_> neverblue, I got the program installed and can access my ubuntu directory, but I don't know what to do from there
[11:10] <IndyGunFreak> j85wilson: that was like 5min ago... wake up
[11:10] <Jin> Fractal44, just pop the ubuntu install disc in the laptop, if your card is supported, you will be able to use it without installing ubuntu
[11:10] <matzino> sometimes not work try to remove gnome-networmanager
[11:10] <Kopcap> neverblue ok, i'll read the manual but... em... where is it? :D i still can't get arround with the linux filesystem >.<
[11:11] <Scunizi> Kopcap, one should be located by typing man samba in a terminal
[11:11] <Kopcap> omg
[11:11] <kunemio> nah
[11:11] <Kopcap> O.o
[11:11] <Kopcap> i typed 'smbd' and it said that samba isn't installed O.o
[11:12] <mikeypizano> anyone know bout laptop mode?
[11:12] <kunemio> yea 5 mins ago :P
[11:12] <Kopcap> i even edited the config file ffs >><
[11:12] <Kopcap> >.<
[11:12] <spectre__> Why if I try to go in Gnome > applications > Add/remove > and looking for wine I find as description wine windows emulator ? it's not an emulator :)
[11:12] <Scunizi> Kopcap, here's a link that might help.. http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/samba.shtml
[11:12] <Kopcap> YAY!!!!
[11:12] <kunemio> Can samone help me with my sound problem it worked now is gone ?
[11:12] <Kopcap> reinstalled now i even see ubuntu from network ... in windows :)
[11:13] <kripton1x> Im planning to do an install of Ubuntu to hdb, on hda, there is a windows installation, with its boot records and everything
[11:13] <kripton1x> what do yuo guys recommend when I install Ubuntu to be able to write to the existing boot loader, and give an option to boot Linux or Windows? without touching any windows or boot configs
[11:13] <Kopcap> but can't from ubuntu :<
[11:14] <kripton1x> ive done dual boot systems before, but windows will fail easier than any linux os and ive never really set up this combination, or this order atleast
[11:14] <Scunizi> kripton1x, that's called a dual boot.. it will work fine.  On install, it will install GRUB a different bootloader.  When booting you'll have the option of going to Ubuntu or Windows.
[11:14] <kripton1x> but as installing the bootloader (grub) will it pick up the windows installation and add an entry for it?
[11:14] <voidlogic> If you are really paranoid kripton1x use a boot floppy for you linux bootloader
[11:15] <chazco> Hi... can anyone tell me how to get an external display to work with my laptop? Running Ubuntu edgy on a u200
[11:15] <hekman> kripton1x: yes
[11:15] <Jin> kripton1x, it will
[11:15] <kunemio> i have sb live card and its not working can samone help ?
[11:15] <kripton1x> voidlogic: that can be an idea too
[11:15] <Scunizi> kripton1x, automagicly
[11:15] <kripton1x> kool
[11:15] <Jin> kunemio, search the ubuntu forum...  u won't find much help in here
[11:15] <kripton1x> say it fails - what would be a logic way of recovering ?
[11:15] <kunemio> jin yea but its strabge :/
[11:16] <kunemio> and i couldynt find anythong about it
[11:16] <Jin> kunemio, no sound at all?
[11:16] <Jin> kunemio, what card u got?
[11:16] <Scunizi> kripton1x, depends on how it fails.. but it shouldn't with only one hd in your machine.  With multiple hd's it can be problematic.
[11:16] <kunemio> it worked fine i added ati drivers and reboot and sound is gone :/
[11:16] <kunemio> sb live 5.1
[11:16] <kripton1x> yeah thats the issue lol
[11:16] <kripton1x> Im installling nix to another harddrive
[11:16] <Starbucks> hi
[11:16] <Jin> kunemio, did you also update your kernel?
[11:16] <kripton1x> hdb
[11:16] <kunemio> no siound
[11:16] <kripton1x> haha starbucks! yay
[11:16] <kunemio> i didnt upgrade it
[11:17] <Scunizi> kripton1x, you have more than one HD or just more than 1 partition?
[11:17] <Starbucks> anyone here that has got experience with Super grub disk?
[11:17] <voidlogic>  I'm having problems getting a tape drive detected. It works dual booting into windows so I don't think its a hardware issue. Its using the megaraid driver. It should be the 2nd device on channel 0, but I don't see anything but my cd-roms in /proc/scsi/scsi. If I do an lspci I see the controller card is indeed detected. The card+drive worked for one boot yesterday for but some reason it only worked that once. Any ideas?
[11:17] <kunemio> but i used option to add drivers its in system /administaration
[11:17] <neverblue> Kopcap, man samba, or google samab howto
[11:17] <kripton1x> scunizi: more than one hd
[11:17] <Jin> kunemio, ask it on the forum plz. not much help here
[11:17] <kunemio> i dont know it in english
[11:17] <Starbucks> i burned the iso image on a DVD and booted from it, its loading and loading, but then it stops at DR-Dos A:
[11:18] <Jin> my card is sb audigy SE. worked out of the box
[11:18] <Scunizi> kripton1x, if you have issues with grub go to http://bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm.. Print this out prior to installing.
[11:18] <Jin> :-)
[11:18] <kripton1x> awesome man
[11:18] <kripton1x> i appreciate the help eh
[11:18] <cameron_> how do I give a bin file the right to execute in the terminal?

[11:19] <kripton1x> cameron_: chmod +x file.bin
[11:19] <poningru> Kopcap: did you get your answer?
[11:19] <Scunizi> kripton1x, no problem.. I've had my issues with grub. 3 harddrives (2 SATA and 1 IDE). Took me a while to figure things out.
[11:19] <voidlogic> cameron, chmod u+x ./file
[11:19] <Starbucks> anyone here that has got experience with Super grub disk?
[11:19] <Starbucks> i burned the iso image on a DVD and booted from it, its loading and loading, but then it stops at DR-Dos A:
[11:19] <Kopcap> poningru not yet, but i'm getting to that :)

[11:19] <poningru> Kopcap: what was the problem?
[11:19] <Scunizi> kripton1x, the one I linked to ?
[11:19] <poningru> B52doc: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[11:19] <kripton1x> yes sir.
[11:20] <Scunizi> kripton1x, hang on a sec.
[11:20] <kripton1x> kk

[11:21] <Scunizi> kripton1x, I may have had a typo.. here's the copied link from FF .. http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm
[11:21] <vocx> For reference, here is a web page explaining what "Error Loading Operating System" means. A proof that it is not a Linux error. It happened before in Windows. http://whocares.de/2004/12/28/error-loading-operating-system/
[11:21] <Scunizi> kripton1x, does that work for you?
[11:21] <Mishu> How can i start ssl server on ubuntu so users can connect to it remotely
[11:21] <Twelve-60> Hey, just wondering if it is possible to install ubuntu from a USB flash drive that is 256mb (maybe in parts or such)
[11:22] <fuk> hey what does dev mean, for example i have an application and they talk about dev
[11:22] <spectre__> It isn't really important.I wan't only Know if it's a graphic driver problem.thanks to all
[11:22] <fuk> what does that mean
[11:22] <fuk> 1.0 dev
[11:22] <Scunizi> Twelve-60, the ubuntu install image is 600+ megs
[11:22] <fuk> whatsi t used, what does it update
[11:22] <vocx> !install | Twelve-60
[11:22] <ubotu> Twelve-60: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[11:23] <Twelve-60> Yes i know, however I'm wondering if there is a way to load it in parts or load an installer and get the rest over ethernet
[11:23] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: if youc an boot a USB device, you might be better off downloading and booting a Debian Etch ISO on that usb device
[11:23] <poningru> B52doc: ouch
[11:23] <dgib> guys... i need help.... my sound doesn't work!!! but it works when im using Skype.... any ideas? :)
[11:23] <poningru> hold on
[11:23] <solekiller> say i would like to attempt something
[11:23] <vocx> fuk, developer files, headers, libraries, things you need in order to compile. Not important for end-users.
[11:23] <Scunizi> Twelve-60, I haven't looked at the size of the server image.. but maybe..
[11:23] <solekiller> i have a slax live cd that has alot of programs installed on it
[11:23] <nob> how do I get grip to rip mp3
[11:23] <fuk> vocx: so inorder for my app to work i need those DEV files
[11:23] <poningru> B52doc: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[11:23] <poningru> just run that
[11:23] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: do you have high speed?
[11:23] <Twelve-60> Scunizi: 492mb
[11:23] <kripton1x> scunizi: that worked greatm, thanks so much
[11:23] <solekiller> and i want to save time and instead of looking for each program just copy em
[11:23] <fuk> vocx: is that how a program gets updated only by DEV ?
[11:24] <poningru> B52doc: err http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[11:24] <PaulEU> I have question: on website there is plan to public new version of ubuntu 7.10 - is there will be possible to upgrade from 7.04 into 7.10 and 8.04 (next year) ?
[11:24] <B52doc> poningru: Thanks bro
[11:24] <Twelve-60> ubotu: Doesn't specify for those with a flash drive with lower space then the image
[11:24] <Scunizi> kripton1x, I keep a copy in a file folder for referance.. It's been a lifesaver.
[11:24] <Starbucks> anyone here that has got experience with Super grub disk?
[11:24] <Starbucks> i burned the iso image on a DVD and booted from it, its loading and loading, but then it stops at DR-Dos A:
[11:24] <PaulEU> where can I read about plan ?
[11:24] <Twelve-60> IndyGunFreak: Yes
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: the Debian Etch 4.0 ISO, is 159mb... it  basically loads the kernel, adn then installs everything else from the internet.
[11:25] <Twelve-60> I can download the entire ubuntu with no problem if needed
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: if it detects your internet connection, that would be the way to go in your situation
[11:25] <fuk> vocx: can u answer pelase
[11:25] <kripton1x> i appreciate it
[11:25] <Twelve-60> How do I go from there to Xubuntu?
[11:25] <kripton1x> hey scunizi, wouldnt i be able to add an entry to boot.ini windows file?
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: type this .. "/join #indygunfreak"
[11:26] <nob> any one know how I can get grip to rip mp3
[11:26] <mcummings_> install lame?
[11:26] <Scunizi> kripton1x, there is a way of doing that but it's not the easiest thing.  It's easier to let Grub do its thing.  Expicially if you later want to install kubuntu, xubuntu, server etc. on the same hd alongside ubuntu.
[11:26] <kripton1x> alright
[11:26] <PurpleFool> anyone know where an updated/correct description of kernel package build instructions are?
[11:26] <Starbucks> i guess no one has a idea though=
[11:26] <Starbucks> ?
[11:27] <vocx> fuk, NO. Your program should work without the dev. Programs in Ubuntu never get updates unless they have security flaws.
[11:27] <vocx> fuk, exactly what are you doing? I think you are confused.
[11:27] <Scunizi> kripton1x, besides, if you end up liking Ubuntu and the environment you won't want to go into windows for much of anything other than games.
[11:27] <kripton1x> lol
[11:27] <solekiller> i have a slax cd and i want to copy alot and i mean alot of programs from it into ubuntu how do i do that?
[11:27] <kripton1x> ive used ubuntu for a while now
[11:27] <kripton1x> im paranoid about windows cause then i have to hear my girls bnitching
[11:27] <solekiller> what folders do i copy?
[11:27] <solekiller> which*
[11:28] <voidlogic>  I'm having problems getting a tape drive detected. It works dual booting into windows so I don't think its a hardware issue. Its using the megaraid driver. It should be the 2nd device on channel 0, but I don't see anything but my cd-roms in /proc/scsi/scsi. If I do an lspci I see the controller card is indeed detected. The card+drive worked for one boot yesterday for but some reason it only worked that once.  Synaptc reports a problem with a cache file . . . ?
[11:28] <kripton1x> so thanks fo rht help, ill join back in a bit
[11:28] <solekiller> i have a slax cd and i want to copy alot and i mean alot of programs from it into ubuntu how do i do that?
[11:28] <philthy> How does Canonical Ltd. make money?
[11:28] <Scunizi> kripton1x, aahh.. kids... I tried to convert mine but it's a struggle.  sometime in the future they will just have ubuntu, no windows games and be forced into learning. I refuse to go to vista just to support games.  If they want to pay for it .. maybe.
[11:29] <Fractal44> okay I have the LiveCD running on my laptop but I do not have a wireless network in the area.. how can I tell if it'll auto-detect one?
[11:29] <Lute> hlello?

[11:34] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?

[11:43] <steven3423> armin: the prob I think is I cna't turn my card on... like there's a switch but it doesn't turn on
[11:44] <steven3423> armin: it'll only turn on in windows

[11:45] <steven3423> armin: it doesn't even blink
[11:45] <armin> steven3423: i mean, probably it's just on and you just need to configure your card...
[11:45] <armin> it shouldnt blink :)
[11:45] <web_knows> how can I avoid some users to reboot/shutdown the machine from GDM?
[11:45] <steven3423> armin: how do I configure my card?
[11:45] <armin> web_knows: edit /etc/gdm/blablablasomethingwithconfig i think
[11:45] <steven3423> armin: and how would I tell wheter it's on or off

[11:53] <cpro> afief: ok ill try that
[11:54] <afief> momo521, depends on your driver I guess, but the only way I can think about to fix it is to remotely edit some stuff using ssh

[09:11] <pmjdebru1jn> hi guys
[09:12] <pmjdebru1jn> I have a Ubuntu Precise system running in a large ramdisk (so no initrd/pivotroot construct)
[09:12] <pmjdebru1jn> the ramdisk is the main system
[09:12] <pmjdebru1jn> now when booting I get
[09:12] <pmjdebru1jn> init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
[09:12] <pmjdebru1jn> from what I rather this is because /dev/pts probably isn't mounted yet (since this would usually be done by the initrd)
[09:13] <pmjdebru1jn> the question is what would be the best point to mount /dev/pts
[09:13] <pmjdebru1jn> I could create my on job
[09:13] <pmjdebru1jn> though on what event should it be started, what is most wise?
[09:19] <pmjdebru1jn> btw
[09:19] <pmjdebru1jn> the /dev/pts filesystem is mounted on this system
[09:19] <pmjdebru1jn> though I don't see where it gets mounted
[12:54] <jodh> pmjdebru1jn: this is a known limitation. /dev/pts is probably being mounted by mountalls built-in fstab (/lib/init/fstab).
[13:11] <pmjdebru1jn> ok
[13:12] <pmjdebru1jn> is there a way to workaround this?
[13:12] <pmjdebru1jn> by creating my own upstart job to mount /dev/pts?
[13:12] <pmjdebru1jn> at an earlier stage
[13:20] <jodh> mountall already starts as early as possible. The simplest solution is to boot with '--no-log' to disable job logging, since this is that part of Upstart that requires /dev/pts.
[16:44] <pmjdebru1jn> jodh: I read about that
[16:44] <pmjdebru1jn> just wondered if there was a way to deal with it differently
[16:44] <pmjdebru1jn> jodh: anyhow, thanks for your time
[16:45] <pmjdebru1jn> I'll go with --no-log then
[17:46] <JanC> I guess you could use alternative ways to run something before upstart
[17:58] <JanC> actually, it's quite easy to start a job before all other jobs, including mountall etc.
[17:59] <JanC> if that would be helpful...
[18:13] <JanC> pmjdebru1jn: ^^^
[18:14] <pmjdebru1jn> well if mountall is already among the first job to start I guess it probably won't make a difference
[18:14] <pmjdebru1jn> still thanks for the thought
[18:15] <JanC> I never tried a setup like yours, but does it prevent loging for all jobs, or only for jobs started before /dev/pts is mounted?
[18:15] <pmjdebru1jn> I think only the first few
[18:15] <pmjdebru1jn> but I'd have to investigate to be sure
[18:19] <JanC> okay, then you could add "--startup-event pre-startup" to the kernel commandline and add a job that starts on the 'pre-startup' event which mounts /dev/pts (and maybe does other things?) and then emits the 'startup' event (which is the default event emitted on boot, so it should start whatever would normally be started)
[18:19] <JanC> that way, only this "pre-startup job" would not be logged
[18:19] <JanC> I think
[18:19] <JanC> ;)
[18:23] <JanC> mountall is started in parallel with other jobs, so it's normall some of them start before mountall has the chance to mount /dev/pts
