[04:54] <dystopianray> soundray: get a dell laptop with ubuntu preinstalled
[04:55] <[-Haza-] > Hello folks. I wanted to install JSDK and JVM 1.5 on ubuntu but the package manager only displays 1.4
[04:55] <drgath> anyone have an idea on how to copy id3 tags from one mp3 to another via command line?
[04:55] <Rictoo> Guys, I don't have a mouse atm, how do I get into the keyboard preferences/accessability so I can control the mouse with the keyboard?
[04:55] <erUSUL> sris: System>Preferences>keyboard  Distribution Options (third tab)
[04:56] <erUSUL> sris: Crtl key position
[04:56] <sris> oh, nice, thanks all
[04:56] <dystopianray> [-Haza-] : the package is sun-java5-jdk
[04:56] <[-Haza-] > I tried to type sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5
[04:56] <erUSUL> sris: no problem
[04:56] <[-Haza-] > but got a message that that version doesnt exist
[04:56] <dystopianray> [-Haza-] : sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
[04:57] <[-Haza-] > dystopianray: cheers mate
[04:57] <[-Haza-] > silly mistake there
[04:57] <whileimhere> Hi. I have some photos that have altered exif data that I would like to edit directly. Specifically the thumbnail is not oriented the same way it is displayed in an editor. Any ideas?
[04:57] <dystopianray> [-Haza-] : and if you want the firefox plugin it's sun-java5-plugin
[04:57] <cyber_brain_mfkg> how to set up NAT to make my torrent clint to work?
[04:58] <[-Haza-] > dystopianray: okay. so the first line is for the jSDK and that comes with the JRE too i assume?
[04:58] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: you need to forward the ports your torrent client is using to the machien it is running on
[04:58] <Rageon> whats this channels view on ubuntu ultimate/gamers? distro
[04:58] <soundray> murkyMurk: is that what you have?
[04:58] <Whitor> Hi, How do I install libc6 2.6 in ubuntu feisty ?
[04:58] <dystopianray> [-Haza-] : the jdk includes a jre
[04:58] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, how to do that?
[04:58] <[-Haza-] > dystopianray: Thanks again matey
[04:58] <soundray> dystopianray: have you tried a Dell?
[04:59] <dystopianray> soundray: I own an inspiron 6000, it was perfect
[04:59] <dystopianray> soundray: 'is' perfect rather ;)
[04:59] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, i am useing gnome bittorrent!
[04:59] <dystopianray> [-Haza-] : after you've installed the package run this: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[05:00] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: it depends on how your network is setup
[05:00] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: how are you connected to the internet?
[05:00] <erUSUL> Whitor: changing the version of such a core package is not easy nor recomended... just wait a few days till gutsy comes out (or try the betas)
[05:00] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: and does your network use dhcp or static ips?
[05:00] <soundray> dystopianray: thanks, I'll have a look
[05:00] <[-Haza-] > dystopianray: will do! =)
[05:00] <erUSUL> !info libc6 gutsy
[05:00] <dystopianray> soundray: if you get an ubuntu dell it'll 'just work'
[05:01] <Rageon> erUSUL, when gutsy comes out will i haveto reinstall ubuntu?.. and is it a stable release?
[05:01] <ubotu> libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.6.1-1ubuntu7 (gutsy), package size 4085 kB, installed size 10120 kB
[05:01] <murkyMurk> fresh feisty download CD - livecd sees my SATA, install routine migrate thingy doesn't......ideas?
[05:01] <erUSUL> Rageon: you can upgrade no need to reinstall
[05:01] <blue|palm> !dialup
[05:01] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[05:01] <russe11> !envy
[05:01] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[05:01] <Rageon> awesome
[05:01] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, i am useing WiFi over Access Point!have static ip <IP_ADDRESS>(eth0) that connects on <IP_ADDRESS>(AP)!
[05:01] <Rageon> it comes with compiz-fusion integrated yea?
[05:02] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: does the AP connect directly to the internet or go through a modem?
[05:02] <dystopianray> Rageon: ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:02] <blue|palm> if I have set up my modem correctly in network settings, how do I activate the connection? i.e. how do I dial out>
[05:02] <blue|palm> ?
[05:02] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, AP is connectet directly to my ISP!
[05:02] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: you need to configure your AP to forward the correct prots to your machines address
[05:03] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, my AP is not router and don't need to be forwared!
[05:03] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: what do you mean?
[05:05] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, i used to use "iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT" and it worked fine till few days ago!i had to type this command every time i restarted my machine and now it won't work! :(
[05:05] <Anlar> erUSUL: there are applications that search systematically for the cruft that doesn't belong to packages
[05:05] <whileimhere> Anyone know of a frontend to edit exif image data?
[05:05] <xargon> hey, what can i use to extract split rar files?
[05:05] <TD-Linux> split rar files?
[05:05] <murkyMurk> cyber_brain_mfkg: reconfigure to use DHCP...much easier
[05:05] <dystopianray> xargon: unrar
[05:05] <TD-Linux> unrar-free is good
[05:05] <r2r4> hello !  how can i extract the src from a rpm pkg ?
[05:05] <TD-Linux> ihjbyuh
[05:05] <TD-Linux> oops
[05:05] <TD-Linux> r2r4, alien
[05:05] <erUSUL> Anlar: thanks for the tip but a reinstall after 4-5 upgrades wouldn't hurt
[05:05] <hmhowie> oh noes. my attempt to install ubuntu server on a pentium MMX from 1997 isn't working :(
[05:06] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: your AP has iptables?
[05:06] <xargon> dystopianray, do i just unrar the first file in the series of split files and it will automatically link the rest?
[05:06] <TD-Linux> I should try it on my Pentium/60 :)
[05:06] <dystopianray> xargon: that's right
[05:06] <kst> hmhowie lol
[05:06] <xargon> dystopianray, thansk
[05:06] <TD-Linux> xargon, maybe you can simply join the files end-to-end first?
[05:06] <dystopianray> xargon: first is usually .rar and the others .r00 .r01 and what not
[05:06] <r2r4> TD-Linux, wt ?
[05:06] <xargon> dystopianray, kk
[05:07] <soundray> !info alien | r2r4
[05:07] <quint> hi all i need comilators c++ fo configure programs. what packet i need to install? help plz
[05:07] <ubotu> r2r4: alien: install non-native packages with dpkg. In component main, is optional. Version 8.65 (feisty), package size 101 kB, installed size 276 kB
[05:07] <dystopianray> quint: build-essential
[05:07] <murkyMurk> lol  liveCD is suggesting I restart my computer to update my system....
[05:07] <TD-Linux> quint, you may need stuff like autoconf and things that build-essential does not install
[05:07] <r2r4> all right i try it now
[05:07] <zero-9376> can someone reccommend a light ftp server suitable for an old system
[05:07] <xargon> dystopianray, it says unrar not installed, i have 7zip installed, you think that does it too?
[05:08] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, i am useing pppoe and i have no access to my ISP servers at all!
[05:08] <TD-Linux> and make sure to install the -dev versions of packages that it requires

[05:08] <fevel> hey guys...I connect to a bunch of servers through ssh, in Windows I used putty to store all the ips for a quick logon...is there a way to store a list of servers on ubuntu?
[05:08] <TD-Linux> xargon, install unrar-free
[05:08] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: i never said anything about your isps servers
[05:08] <quint> TD-Linux: and there i can get this stuff?)
[05:08] <TD-Linux> sudo aptitude install unrar-free
[05:08] <dystopianray> xargon: i don't know about 7zip but just install unrar if you want to use it
[05:08] <dystopianray> xargon: do not get unrar-free it is compeltely useless
[05:08] <TD-Linux> quint, get it from the official repos
[05:08] <xargon> ?
[05:08] <TD-Linux> it's useless? works for me
[05:08] <xargon> which one am i getting then?
[05:08] <dystopianray> xargon: unrar-free can't extract the files you have
[05:08] <TD-Linux> unrar might be fine then
[05:09] <soundray> fevel: one way would be to make mnemonic entries for each server in /etc/hosts
[05:09] <dystopianray> TD-Linux: you must be using extremely old rar files
[05:09] <cyber_brain_mfkg> dystopianray, u think if i change to DHCP i won't have forwarding problems???
[05:09] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: i doubt it
[05:10] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: stick to your current setup
[05:10] <hmhowie> fluxbuntu has been dropped, hasn't it?
[05:10] <dystopianray> cyber_brain_mfkg: all you need to do is forward the torrent ports from the AP to your client machine
[05:10] <dystopianray> xargon: install 'unrar'
[05:10] <stefg> hmhowie: not dropped, but going slow.... server install + fluxbox ?
[05:10] <softwork> creative lauch drivers for x-fi
[05:10] <dystopianray> softwork: they're available now?
[05:10] <softwork> yes
[05:10] <softwork> in creative website
[05:11] <softwork> : )
[05:11] <dystopianray> no linux user should be buying a x-fi
[05:11] <xargon> dystopianray, whats xarchiver btw?
[05:11] <dystopianray> xargon: no idea
[05:11] <dystopianray> softwork: can you provide a link?
[05:11] <joejaxx> hmhowie: dropped?
[05:12] <joejaxx> hmhowie: who told you that? lol
[05:12] <xargon> dystopianray, one sec, im looking at it in synaptic package manager
[05:12] <fevel> soundray: can you explain a little better?
[05:12] <softwork> http://www.creative.com/language.asp?sDestUrl=/support/downloads
[05:12] <softwork> there
[05:12] <crsposftp> any suggestions of a forum that will help with iptables?
[05:13] <dystopianray> crsposftp: ubuntu forums
[05:13] <hmhowie> stefg: that was my plan :)
[05:13] <hmhowie> joejaxx: well the latest version i can find is based on dapper
[05:13] <crsposftp> http://crs-usa.serveftp.com/crs-usa/firewall.bash.txt
[05:13] <crsposftp> when turned on will no allow connection ftp port 21
[05:13] <xargon> dystopianray, http://pastebin.com/m6eb06d59
[05:14] <xargon> dystopianray, i dont know where a list of stuff in the package manager is to link it
[05:14] <soundray> fevel: if you add a line like '<IP_ADDRESS> server1' to /etc/hosts, you will then be able to just 'ssh server1' to connect
[05:14] <softwork> (j #creative
[05:14] <dystopianray> xargon: just install unrar

[05:17] <dystopianray> QueenAnya: is it a web browser popup?
[05:18] <hmhowie> joejaxx: i really wanted a 2.6er kernel, so dsl isn't the best. i just want a small distribution with which i can run emacs :)
[05:18] <susscorfa> Do you run ubuntu QueenAnya ? most probably it is some popup to fool windows users
[05:18] <joejaxx> hmhowie: gentoo then :P
[05:18] <QueenAnya> dystopianray, so I dont need to do anything about it its fake?
[05:19] <dystopianray> QueenAnya: is it a browser popupr or did it come from somewhere else?
[05:19] <QueenAnya> susscorfa, yes my computer is ubuntu
[05:19] <dystopianray> gentoo is not a small distro
[05:19] <hmhowie> joejaxx: i had a zenwalk on it, but i seem to have hosed my xserver, and i can't remember how... :)
[05:19] <joejaxx> hmhowie: :P
[05:19] <QueenAnya> dystopianray, I was just browsing and it poped up and scared the hell out of me
[05:19] <blackfeet> QueenAnya, if it is a browser window forget about it

[05:21] <askand> dystopianray: how can I tell the sshserver to do that
[05:21] <Pici> Rageon: gdm is the login manager, splash screens are what come up after you login (although gnome-look has alot of usplashes stuffed into that category for whatever reason)
[05:21] <dystopianray> askand: you configure the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:21] <Rageon> mk

[05:31] <dystopianray> has anyone tried amazon's mp3 store in ubuntu?
[05:31] <stefg> YarekT: no openssh-server is installed by default. you need to sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:31] <YarekT> stefg: thanks
[05:31] <dystopianray> Nauraushaun: did you restart the player?
[05:32] <Nauraushaun> It wasn't open before I did it, then I opened it.
[05:32] <Nauraushaun> So...yes. I suppose.
[05:32] <dystopianray> Nauraushaun: try another player like totem
[05:33] <Nauraushaun> I've tried 4. Kaffeine, for example, specifically says that it plays MP3s by default. It doesn't.
[05:33] <Nauraushaun> But sure.
[05:33] <dystopianray> Nauraushaun: for kaffeine you need to do: sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[05:33] <kiubuntu> anyone knows a room where i can ask queries abt rails hosting? i want to have my personal mephisto blog
[05:34] <Nauraushaun> Why doesn't it say that? How is anyone supposed to figure it out?
[05:34] <dystopianray> kiubuntu: is there a #rails room?
[05:34] <dystopianray> Nauraushaun: it should popup with a dialog guiding you through install codecs
[05:35] <dystopianray> Nauraushaun: are you using feisty?
[05:35] <kiubuntu> i found it. #rubyonrails
[05:35] <Nauraushaun> Yes.
[05:35] <pike_> kiubuntu: #ruby-lang ?
[05:35] <pike_> nm
[05:35] <Nauraushaun> It's installing some stuff.
[05:35] <sethk> kiubuntu, a ruby channel might be more likely to find someone who knows about rails, and/or who knows what channels are best for rails.
[05:35] <dystopianray> Nauraushaun: install libxine-extracodecs and try again

[05:36] <stefg> lagrimo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:37] <LjL> clip: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and, in the line that begins with  # kopt= , add "noapic" to the end
[05:37] <pike_> lagrimo: youre either going to want to edit manually: sudo nanoe /etc/X11/xorg.conf  or go through reconfig
[05:37] <bruenig> clip, put it on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst

[05:40] <LjL> clip: 2) find the line that begins with        # kopt=
[05:40] <LjL> clip: 3) add "noapic" to the end of it
[05:40] <LjL> clip: 4) save, close, run  sudo update-grub
[05:40] <clip> thx, i just missed the line
[05:40] <Puppy_> When will 7.10 be out?
[05:40] <susscorfa> where is the news dystopianray
[05:40] <dgjones> Puppy_, planned for 18th October
[05:40] <dystopianray> susscorfa: what news?
[05:40] <Puppy_> dgjones: thanks!
[05:41] <seth> can anyone recommend software to record my interaction on my desktop?
[05:41] <blue|palm> how do I control antialiasing of fonts in kde application whilst using gnome?
[05:41] <susscorfa> about the amazon client
[05:41] <Anlar> seth: wink
[05:41] <clip> LjL: does no apic somehow affect linux?
[05:42] <soundray> seth: istanbul
[05:42] <seth> thanks
[05:42] <chalcedony> on a new installation of ubuntu is there any way to get the deselected packages all pretty much at once?
[05:42] <dystopianray> susscorfa: it's mentioned on the download page for the windows/osx client
[05:42] <LjL> clip: i think it just makes it use an older way of interfacing with the interrupt controller. perhaps it can make some things marginally slower... i don't really know. i have noapic enabled, and i don't notice anything special
[05:42] <chalcedony> on a new installation of ubuntu is there any way to get the deselected packages all pretty much at once? every time I go to do something, the things I want to do it with are not here.
[05:42] <LjL> chalcedony: the *de*selected?
[05:43] <Rageon> how do i change my login screen
[05:43] <xargon> well dystopianray thanks
[05:43] <chalcedony> LjL: apparently when my son installed it he wanted it to be quick, because he was leaving town..
[05:43] <bieb> which .bashrc is the primary? the one in /root? or the one in my users home dir?
[05:43] <Crozar> how can i get the icons like MAC OS X???
[05:43] <soundray> !clone | chalcedony
[05:43] <ubotu> chalcedony: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[05:43] <bruenig> bieb, /etc/bash.bashrc
[05:44] <susscorfa> Rageon: system > administration > login window
[05:44] <LjL> chalcedony, but if it was installed from the Desktop CD, then the package selections are the standard ones - you cannot deselect packages
[05:44] <bruenig> bieb, or wait I didn't read your question, your user's bashrc obviously trumps any others
[05:44] <bieb> bruenig.. thanks
[05:44] <LjL> bieb: there is no "primary" one, each user has their own
[05:44] <Rageon> thanks susscorfa
[05:44] <anonimen> TAKSISDT
[05:44] <chalcedony> LjL: how would i tell? i had it all updated and ready to move..
[05:45] <bieb> LjL I worded that wrong
[05:45] <Crozar> how to get icons like mac  os x and last but not least how to tweak processeses because i see alot
[05:45] <LjL> chalcedony, is ubuntu-desktop installed?
[05:45] <bieb> Bruenig answered what I needed, the .bashrc in the /home dir trumps the /root one
[05:45] <chalcedony> LjL: how would i tell ?
[05:46] <LjL> chalcedony: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". if it's already installed, it won't install anything.
[05:46] <kitche> bieb: of course since the one in /root is for root
[05:46] <chalcedony> LjL: ty
[05:46] <bruenig> bieb, the /root one doesn't come into play at all, but there is one in /etc/bash.bashrc or at least there can be and that one is trumped by your user as well
[05:46] <chalcedony> LjL: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
[05:46] <chalcedony> ~$
[05:46] <Pici> Crozar: You need to be more detailed in your questions, what does 'icons like osx' mean? And what is wrong with your processes.
[05:46] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> Dumb question, but how do I set me Ubuntu laptop into presentation mode?
[05:47] <dystopianray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: presentation mode?
[05:47] <LjL> chalcedony: then you have ubuntu-desktop installed, which most likely means that you have a 100% normal ubuntu installation, with all the packages that are normally there
[05:47] <pavel^k> hu
[05:47] <the_atom> can anyone help me out here?
[05:48] <Crozar> Pici: processeses is alot its like i have many unnecesary things open
[05:48] <LjL> !helpme
[05:48] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:48] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> dystopianray: basically turn on the external display
[05:48] <pavel^k> hi
[05:48] <soundray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: on most laptops, there is a key combination that enables video output via the VGA output
[05:48] <dystopianray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: what video card do you have?
[05:48] <chalcedony> LjL: yes and a few i use are not here .. like Lynx
[05:48] <pavel^k> how areyou
[05:48] <Pici> Crozar: Like what?
[05:48] <chalcedony> and the spell checker in mutt
[05:48] <bieb> Bruenig, thanks.. I will work in the users .bashrc
[05:48] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> dystopianray: how do I check that?
[05:48] <Crozar> Pici: and Mac OS X is macintosh they have icons like something in ubuntu called Kiba-Dock
[05:48] <Rageon> whats the keyboard shortcut to goto login screen/
[05:48] <LjL> chalcedony: that's because they're *never* there by default. just install them
[05:48] <dystopianray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: pastebin your lspci output
[05:48] <chalcedony> LjL: lynx wont install
[05:49] <LjL> chalcedony: how so?
[05:49] <vsayikiran> what should i do if my computer hangs ?
[05:49] <Rageon> Whats the keyboard shortcut to goto login screen please?
[05:49] <Crozar> Pici:  i got 35 running processeses
[05:49] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> dystopianray: http://rafb.net/p/10GfbI81.html
[05:49] <pavel^k> hi
[05:49] <chalcedony> root@marcus:~# apt-get lynx
[05:49] <chalcedony> E: Invalid operation lynx
[05:49] <chalcedony> root@marcus:~# apt-get lynx-cur-wrapper
[05:49] <chalcedony> E: Invalid operation lynx-cur-wrapper
[05:49] <chalcedony> root@marcus:~#
[05:49] <LjL> Rageon: you normally need to logout in order to go back to the login screen
[05:49] <LjL> !paste | chalcedony
[05:49] <ubotu> chalcedony: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:50] <LjL> chalcedony: it's  sudo apt-get install lynx
[05:50] <pavel^k> hu
[05:50] <LjL> !apt > chalcedony    (chalcedony, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:50] <scraliontis> ctrl=alt=backspace
[05:50] <vsayikiran> is there any equivalent of ctrl+alt+delete like in windows
[05:50] <Rageon> ok. what the keyboard shortcut to logout please :)
[05:50] <LjL> vsayikiran: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X windows
[05:50] <dystopianray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: do you just want to clone your desktop?
[05:50] <Pici> Crozar: Number of processes doesnt mean anything. Many of those are used by your system to do things to make your desktop environment work.
[05:50] <LjL> Rageon, i don't know, i'm on KDE
[05:51] <Rageon> mk
[05:51] <pavel^k> how are you ljl
[05:51] <LjL> i'm fine thanks
[05:51] <pavel^k> where you from
[05:51] <LjL> !offtopic
[05:51] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:51] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> dystopianray: if by clone you mean show to the external display what is on my laptop screen, then yes that would be good enough.  (though if there are any wizards for dealing with the other combinations it might be useful to know those)
[05:51] <sethk> Crozar, to amplify a bit what Pici said, most of those processes are sleeping and do not consume significant resources.
[05:51] <Crozar> Pici:  with blackvipers guide after i learn so much about windows i can make windows run soo fast and start things when needed and closes when u close the things u closed , and yes my XP had 8 processes it is fast
[05:52] <pavel^k> im from masedonian
[05:52] <Tilllinux> heya, I've got a problem here: I can only hear sounds coming from my right box. (Only on ubuntu, I can hear both, right and left, on windows)
[05:52] <dystopianray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: add 'Option "Clone"' to the device section of your xorg.conf and restart X
[05:52] <LjL> pavel^k, this is a support channel, not a generic chat channel
[05:52] <dystopianray> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: you can read the i810 man page for details on configurations
[05:52] <Pici> Crozar: Windows is not the same thing as Unix/Linux, you really cannot compare them like that.
[05:52] <Crozar> ok but i can compare 1 thing , its when the system concentrate about a process :)
[05:53] <LjL> Crozar: if a process is taking up all the CPU while it's just supposed to be idling, then there's something wrong with the process.
[05:53] <Crozar> i acknowledge the fact that windows focuses soo well into a based processes thats when you make it , example running game , or app's photoshop
[05:53] <savetheWorld> %term: Avoid using windows terminology when talking about Linux. Using terms like "shortcuts" and others will cause you to misunderstand your own system and mis-educate others about what Linux is.
[05:53] <vsayikiran> when i leave my pc idle for some time, it launches the matrix screensaver, after sometime it hangs?
[05:53] <sethk> Crozar, actually, the o/s scheduling algorithms make this comparison difficult.
[05:54] <Crozar> ok i hope its diffrent ,because linux feels slow
[05:54] <sethk> Crozar, note that there are alternative scheduling policies available in Linux; you might want to examine these to see if one may be more suited to your situation than the default.
[05:54] <chalcedony> LjL: is there a difference between lynx (which installed per your instructions) and lynx cur-wrapper ?
[05:54] <Crozar> slower then before :( it was fast when it was running default without any updates and nothign straight otu of box
[05:54] <riutaro> I want to edit menu.lst for GRUB cuz I have Linux versions that I shan't use for booting up Ubuntu and want to delete them from GRUB start up menu.
[05:54] <vsayikiran> what should i do when i my pc hangs
[05:54] <Anlar> vsayikiran: cut the rope?
[05:54] <proffalken> hi all, I'm having an issue with apt at the moment, a large number of files do not seem to be verifying correctly regardless of which mirror I use
[05:55] <Anlar> *trrr-kssh!*
[05:55] <Tilllinux> riutaro: alt+f2 gksudo nautilus -> boot/grub and comment the uneeded ones with #  out
[05:55] <Crozar> sethk: any ideas about kiba-dock?
[05:55] <sethk> Crozar, ruuning one of the lighter weight desktops (that is, not gnome and not KDE) results in a dramatic increase in performance.
[05:55] <vsayikiran> what should i do when my pc hangs?
[05:55] <kotau> cut the rope
[05:55] <sethk> Crozar, No, I don't really know enough about it to say anything intelligent.
[05:55] <LjL> chalcedony: i don't really know what the latter is (you can see a description by typing  apt-cache show lynx-cur-wrapper , but it doesn't seem very informative to me) -- just install lynx
[05:55] <Crozar> why programs still on beta? linux is not beta and when vista comes up with docks and widgets theyr up to verison 2 and 4
[05:55] <chalcedony> LjL: thanks
[05:55] <vsayikiran> Anlar: i didn't get you
[05:55] <LjL> chalcedony: keep in mind, however, that "links2" is a Lynx-like browser which is way more advanced right now.
[05:55] <LjL> chalcedony: another good text-mode browser is w3m
[05:56] <vsayikiran> what should i do when my pc hangs
[05:56] <Crozar> i wish too see stable releases soon.
[05:56] <dystopianray> Crozar: version numbers are often completely arbitrary
[05:56] <vsayikiran> when matrix screensaver runs for sometime, my pc hangs
[05:56] <Tilllinux> so, does anyone have a clue, why there's only one soundoutput on my system (I'm running ubuntuStudio with a low-latency kernel, sometimes with a jack server started, if I want to use linuxSampler)
[05:56] <Pici> vsayikiran: Then change the screensaver and see if it still happens.
[05:56] <vsayikiran> does anyone know what to do when my computer hangs
[05:56] <Crozar> it defines something telling it if the program is suitable or not yet
[05:56] <Tilllinux> vsayikiran: reboot :p
[05:57] <Crozar> every1 knows that version 1 and + means its OK and getting better :)
[05:57] <preaction> Crozar, no, it's often completely arbitrary
[05:57] <Pici> Crozar: Can we move this to -offtopic, this isnt really support worhy.
[05:57] <vsayikiran> Pici: no then it is not hanging
[05:57] <Rageon> i install a login theme.. says its installed but doesnt show up for me to select? i try to add again is says its already installed.. ???/
[05:57] <proffalken> vsayikiran: try pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 or the equivalent on your keyboard.  if you get a login prompt, login and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:57] <Rageon> gnome btw
[05:57] <LjL> vsayikiran, i sometimes pull the plug, but that's too generic a question to answer. you have a problem with a screensaver -- then finding out what causes it is the question, not what to do when your PC hangs
[05:57] <Tilllinux> vsayikiran:  then don't use this screensaver ^^
[05:57] <Crozar> Pici: the topic is any tweak guide to know what is default for ubuntu and what is best settings to have most running smooth .
[05:57] <Tilllinux> vsayikiran: there are btw two matrix screensavers
[05:57] <Nauraushaun> Still trying to get MP3s to work.
[05:57] <proffalken> vsayikiran: you will loose any work that you have open in Gnome, but you should get a login prompt back to continue working.
[05:58] <proffalken> vsayikiran: at least you won't have to reboot your PC
[05:58] <vsayikiran> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart what does this command sdo?
[05:58] <WoLf00>    CiAo!! a TuTTi Di #ubuntu    < ~WoLf00 ScRiPt v.0.1~ >
[05:58] <LjL> Crozar, the Ubuntu development teams spends a considerable amount of time trying to make the default Ubuntu setup run smoothly.
[05:58] <Rageon> i install a login theme.. says its installed but doesnt show up for me to select? i try to add again is says its already installed.. ??? GNOME
[05:58] <LjL> WoLf00: no scripts, thank you
[05:58] <Tilllinux> vsayikiran: it restarts the gnome display manager
[05:58] <proffalken> vsayikiran: restarts the X windows environment (Gnome - your "Windows" screen)
[05:58] <Pici> Crozar: There are many guides out there, but you will need to look for them yourself.  We are of the impression that the default Ubuntu install is scaled properly for different hardware and doesnt need tweaking.
[05:59] <Crozar> so then the people wont know nothing about theyr system how can i trust putting my CC on netbanking
[05:59] <gleblanc> Hi folks, I'm having trouble using the torrent at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/gutsy-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[05:59] <vsayikiran> so if screensaver causes my system to hang then there the problem is with my pc or screensaver?
[05:59] <LjL> Crozar, do you want support, or do you want to argue about what Ubuntu "should" be like that in your opinion isn't?
[06:00] <gleblanc> I get an error that says "Failure: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker."
[06:00] <LjL> !rootirc | NIOS
[06:00] <ubotu> NIOS: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad - use !sudo instead
[06:01] <Crozar> LjL: i thought 1 day i will support others , and thank you for the help wanted to ask a question about something just forgot about it.
[06:01] <proffalken> vsayikiran: without looking at the log files or seeing the spec of your PC it's difficult to see (please DON'T paste them here!) however your best bet is to reboot your PC and switch to a different screensaver. If this works, it's the screen saver, if it doesn't, it's the PC.
[06:01] <riutaro> thx Tilllinux.  restarting the system....  :)
[06:01] <gleblanc> Anybody else having the same problem?
[06:01] <vsayikiran> but i want to use that matrix screensaver, i dont want my computer to hang everytime it starts: so what should i do?
[06:01] <proffalken> ubotu: well said! :o)
[06:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about well said! :o) - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:02] <proffalken> vsayikiran: the choice is simple - use teh screen saver and have the PC crash or use a different screensaver
[06:02] <Pici> vsayikiran: You can log a bug against the screensaver in question, but otherwise there isnt anything you can do.
[06:02] <panosru> Hi, is there a way in Ubuntu to display files by category? For example if i short them by type, display them in categories (like windows)
[06:03] <umop-apisdn> panosru: define "category" please?
[06:03] <proffalken> so, is anyone else having issues with apt at the moment, or is it just me?
[06:03] <vsayikiran> proffalken: so where can i find log files
[06:03] <soundray> panosru: yes, in nautilus it's called "type"
[06:03] <dystopianray> umop-apisdn: obviously he means things like 'audio' 'video' 'documents'
[06:03] <vsayikiran> yes i am having problem with apt-get update
[06:04] <umop-apisdn> dystopianray: if it were obvious, i wouldn't have asked.
[06:04] <Pici> proffalken: what kind of problems?
[06:04] <umop-apisdn> dystopianray: i've found that assuming i know what someone is talking about is sometimes dangerous, and so i tend to ask for clarification before telling them how to break their pc ;)
[06:04] <proffalken> a number of files (specifically Java and Open Office so not sure if there's a link) are refusing to MD5
[06:04] <sethk> panosru, you can do exactly the same things you can do in windows.
[06:04] <AaronMT> Can anyone recommend a gnome application that will let me edit and fill in PDF forms, Evince doesnt have that feature
[06:05] <dystopianray> AaronMT: only adobe's reader has that functionality
[06:05] <praet> AaronMT: coming in gutsy i believe
[06:05] <Pici> dystopianray: AaronMT: evince in Gutsy has that :)
[06:05] <sethk> AaronMT, the only way I've found to do that is to convert the document to another format, modify it, and convert it back to PDF
[06:05] <soundray> AaronMT: that's a bit of a sore point in Linux. You can try flpsed, but it's fairly experimental
[06:05] <chalcedony> i oopsed how do i remove lynx-cur ?
[06:05] <AaronMT> Maybe I can update evince than, are there public binaries?
[06:05] <soundray> AaronMT: I get the best results by importing PDFs into kword
[06:06] <Cyrus25801> How do I write a .mdf file to a cd
[06:06] <proffalken> chalcedony: apt-get remove?
[06:06] <LjL> chalcedony: sudo apt-get remove lynx-cur
[06:06] <chalcedony> LjL: ty :)
[06:06] <LjL> chalcedony, i suggest you read the documents i've made Ubotu send you though...
[06:06] <sethk> Cyrus25801, I believe cdrecord can handle that.
[06:06] <broomad> Ljl: when i sudo update-grub, it always deletes the noapic again?!
[06:06] <Cyrus25801> sethk: thanx man
[06:06] <LjL> broomad: have you added it where i said, i.e. to the line that starts with # kopts= ?
[06:06] <chalcedony> LjL: ok ty
[06:06] <sethk> Cyrus25801, note the "I believe" part.  :)
[06:07] <Al00> g'day folks -- I have a fairly simple question (at least in my fragile mind): Is it possible to attach a sound to the window minimize and maximize events? (kinda like winbloze)
[06:07] <panosru> I mean short them by type but display them categorized (i'm trying to find a screen shot from google images)
[06:07] <Tilllinux> I'm still only getting one soundouput (right/left) ;)
[06:07] <LjL> broomad: # kopt= even
[06:07] <broomad> LjL, i added it to the kernel line, mom i'll look
[06:07] <Al00> I am using Ubuntu (Gnome)
[06:07] <Cyrus25801> sethk: I realise, will try it and see. can you change a .mdf file to an .iso
[06:07] <LjL> broomad: if you add it to the kernel line, it will be removed at every kernel update. add it where i said
[06:07] <chalcedony> LjL: are you a mother too
[06:07] <chalcedony> ?
[06:08] <LjL> ...
[06:08] <chalcedony> rofl
[06:08] <sethk> Cyrus25801, I'm not sure whether there is a tool to convert it to iso.
[06:08] <threethirty> Al00: thats a wicked idea!!, but I don't think anyone has done it yet.  What you should do is find the compiz fusion dev mailing list and ask for it
[06:08] <soundray> !info mdf2iso | Cyrus25801
[06:08] <ubotu> cyrus25801: mdf2iso: A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 6 kB, installed size 60 kB
[06:09] <broomad> LjL: # kopt=root....?
[06:09] <gabrielmonnerat> somebody can help me, my wireless interface the notebook isn't recognized
[06:09] <LjL> broomad: yes. add it to the end.
[06:09] <Al00> threethirty: thanks -- I am using compiz fusion and thought it would be kick-ass if I could get a nice swooshing sound for minimizing :)
[06:09] <dystopianray> gabrielmonnerat: what wifi card do you have?
[06:09] <sethk> Al00, KDE has the capability to attach sounds to those events
[06:10] <marx2k> Does anyone know what yesterday's kernel update accomplished? It's like the same version as the previous one
[06:10] <Al00> threethirty: compiz seems like overkill for this type of sound thing... it would be nice if it was just a std sound event gnome
[06:10] <broomad> LjL: ok i did, now update-grub
[06:10] <soundray> marx2k: /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic/changelog.Debian.gz
[06:10] <pavel^k> hi
[06:10] <gabrielmonnerat> dystopianray BroadCom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN
[06:10] <LjL> broomad: yes. then you'll see it's been automatically added to the kernel lines, too
[06:10] <marx2k> thanks soundray :)
[06:11] <dystopianray> gabrielmonnerat: you'll need to use ndiswrapper
[06:11] <threethirty> Al00: i knw but i fugured that the same people that put fish inside of a cube would be a little more willing to write that sort of thing
[06:11] <Al00> sethk: thanks - I'd like to stay with Gnome... KDE makes me dizzy :D
[06:11] <Al00> threethirty: LOL *high 5*
[06:11] <Madnez> this blows guys
[06:11] <sethk> Al00, wouldn't want you do be dizzy.  :)
[06:11] <Madnez> anyone knows how to enable online patcher after installing win program with wine?
[06:12] <Al00> sethk: lol - yeah... don't want to blow chunks for sound
[06:12] <Madnez> i cant finish installation without getting the patch.... and wine cant connect me online
[06:12] <marx2k> ok I guess the only update (to me) in the latest kernel is "[CIFS]  CIFS should honour umask"
[06:13] <Madnez> so anyone knows how to enable internet access for wine?
[06:13] <gabrielmonnerat> dystopianray ndiswrapper -l >> bcmwl5 : driver installed
[06:13] <Madnez> or networking for wine?
[06:13] <marx2k> Madnez: It should just use the current internet connection YOU are using
[06:13] <LjL> Madnez, WINE can access the internet by default.
[06:13] <marx2k> afaik
[06:13] <ErikH1> Is it possible to change the size of the root and/or swap partitions after installation?
[06:13] <dystopianray> gabrielmonnerat: is that the driver that came with your wifi device?
[06:14] <LjL> !gparted > ErikH1    (ErikH1, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:14] <Madnez> sure?
[06:14] <gabrielmonnerat>  dystopianray bcm43xx
[06:14] <Madnez> i cant finish installation cause it cannot auto patch
[06:14] <dystopianray> gabrielmonnerat: i'm talking about the windows driver
[06:15] <gabrielmonnerat> dystopianray yes sorry , bcmwl5
[06:15] <marx2k> Anyone know how to make a file view to be default in Konqueror? (ex. tree view)
[06:15] <LjL> Madnez: probably a bug related to the installer rather than an internet problem.
[06:16] <elliotjhug> Hi all, having problems with tomcat5.5 on Ubuntu Gutsy, any ideas what port the default install is running on? tried 8080 and 8180 but neither work
[06:16] <dystopianray> gabrielmonnerat: that is that driver that came with your wifi device?
[06:16] <LjL> marx2k: perhaps Settings / Save view profile
[06:16] <dystopianray> elliotjhug: use netstat -tulpn to see what it's running on
[06:16] <elliotjhug> dystopianray: thanks
[06:16] <marx2k> LjL: You're the man/woman ;)
[06:16] <soundray> elliotjhug: gutsy questions in #ubuntu+1 -- I don't think tomcat runs until you configure it.
[06:17] <Madnez> ok now that sucks
[06:17] <Tilllinux> hm, why do I only get left or right soundoutput...
[06:17] <LostAllHope> how do i activate my  TV-out connector ?
[06:17] <LjL> !tv out
[06:17] <ubotu> For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[06:17] <dystopianray> LostAllHope: what video card do you have?
[06:17] <Tilllinux> My soundcard btw is a M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496, i didn't test the onboard sound yet, as I switched it off in the bios
[06:17] <LostAllHope> spanx
[06:17] <LostAllHope> ATI X700
[06:18] <LostAllHope> do they work ?
[06:18] <LostAllHope> does it work with ubuntu *
[06:19] <Mahr> Hey, I have a noob question for you guys. How can I set a User image that'll show up in GDM?
[06:19] <zekopeko_> what is a good LGA775 motherboard for use with Core 2 Quad and Ubuntu?
[06:19] <chalcedony> Mahr: you can't be too newb .. i don't even know what those are
[06:20] <sethk> zekopeko_, I've had the best results with Intel motherboards, _especially_ with newer processors
[06:20] <Mahr> chalcedony, lol. Thanks for makng me feel better =)
[06:20] <chalcedony> Mahr: np ;)
[06:20] <Mahr> :P
[06:20] <pike_> Mahr: can ya do that in gdmsetup?
[06:20] <zekopeko_> sethk any favorites?
[06:20] <zekopeko_> something that just works (tm) ?
[06:20] <Mahr> pike_, I did give it a try but didn't find anywhere to select my pic.
[06:20] <pike_> no youre right there is not.
[06:21] <sethk> zekopeko_, I've only done one quad, and I it's not here, so I can't give you the specific model number.  However, every Intel motherboard I've used with linux over the last several years has "just worked."
[06:21] <sakitram> hi, I downloaded Desktop UBUNTU. And booted through it.  But at I finally end with a blank orange color screen (where Gnome or KDE session start from).  But I do not get system hang, but just seems to be nothing running from there.  What is wrong?
[06:21] <Mahr> I'll just check the repositories for anything helpfull.  Take care =)
[06:21] <dystopianray> sakitram: how much memory does your computerh ave?
[06:21] <sakitram> My system conf: Pentium 3 800MhZ, 256MB ram.
[06:21] <zekopeko_> sethk so everything works (sound, PATA etc)?
[06:22] <dystopianray> sakitram: you don't have enough memory, use the alternate install cd
[06:22] <sethk> sakitram, best guess is that the monitor or video card is not properly recognized.  You can run the text mode install from the alternate cd.  The installed o/s supports many more video configurations than the bootable cd
[06:22] <sakitram> fine.
[06:22] <LostAllHope> Ljl my  video driver is fglrx
[06:22] <sethk> zekopeko_, yes, thus far.  I've had some glitches with wireless ethernet, but that's true of all the motherboards.
[06:22] <LostAllHope> so can i still tru that ?
[06:22] <KyleS-work> iwlwifi works pretty nice
[06:22] <sakitram> Is the alternate cd  like a Live CD or just an installation cD?
[06:23] <zekopeko_> sethk , don't care about wireless. thanks for the info
[06:23] <dystopianray> sakitram: an installation cd
[06:23] <chalcedony> LjL: do you have screenshots of links2?
[06:23] <sakitram> great. thank you.  I shall try now.
[06:23] <panosru> I found a screen shot look here (http://www.stevetrefethen.com/images/VistaExplorer.png)
[06:23] <chalcedony> LjL: this says that Links hasn't been maintained for a whle
[06:23] <panosru> that i mean order by type and display in categories
[06:23] <sethk> zekopeko_, even with the more expensive motherboards, i've had SATA (or whatever ATA) glitches.  More than once I've seen the o/s hard crash when accessing SATA.
[06:24] <eduardo_paranoic> hello crazy kids!
[06:24] <sethk> zekopeko_, doesn't prove that the future pattern will be the same as the past pattern, but the odds are best (IMO) with the Intel motherboards.

[06:24] <murlidhar> sakitram: it is text based installer cd which does not act like live cd
[06:24] <eduardo_paranoic> algum BR???
[06:25] <Madnez> shoot, anyone remembers the mount and unmount commands?
[06:26] <KyleS-work> mount and umount?
[06:26] <Madnez> ISO
[06:26] <pike_> Madnez: what are you trying to mount
[06:26] <LjL> chalcedony, no i don't have a screenshot... just try it, it's as simple as typing "sudo apt-get install links" and then "links2" (or "links2 -g" if you want the graphical version).
[06:26] <Madnez> sorry for ISO files
[06:26] <dystopianray> !iso > Madnez
[06:26] <pike_> Madnez: sudo mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/mahmountpoint/
[06:26] <sethk> Madnez, -t iso9660

[06:27] <Madnez> no didnt use that command
[06:27] <Madnez> another one
[06:27] <chalcedony> LjL: thank you ill try it
[06:27] <sethk> Madnez, you also need to either use the loopback flag on mount, or (and the loopback flag on mount is a shortcut for) use the losetup command to associate an iso file with a pseudo-device file.
[06:27] <proffalken> brb...
[06:27] <Madnez> hmmm
[06:27] <Madnez> shoulda wrote it down
[06:27] <derrrface> hello, just installed ubuntu (new to linux)... My audio makes crackling static noise when a wav or any type of media is played. I tried all of the different sound devices from the list.  my sound card is generic on board... any advice?
[06:28] <Madnez> theres another command for iso mounting
[06:28] <wabid> im trying to create a passwordless account, and i edited /etc/shadow to have the same encrypted password as the livecd but its not working
[06:28] <dystopianray> wabid: you can configure gdm to autologin a user
[06:28] <soundray> What's the best way for Ubuntu users to collaborate with people who use Word with the EndNote reference manager? oowriter just deletes all traces of EndNote references.
[06:29] <wabid> i dont want autologin
[06:29] <wabid> i want a guest account
[06:29] <KyleS-work> derrrface maybe you have one of the volume settings too high
[06:29] <KyleS-work> I can't think of which one off the top of my head
[06:29] <KyleS-work> but I had a similar problem
[06:29] <vegananarchist> good morning everyone
[06:29] <wabid> kdm lets you login without a password, but not gdm
[06:29] <KyleS-work> on my older computer
[06:29] <Madnez> anyway how do i unmount?
[06:29] <KyleS-work> you can with gdm...
[06:29] <sethk> wabid, if you want a passwordless account, you remove the password altogether, not try to copy one from the install cd
[06:29] <wabid> no thats autologin
[06:29] <KyleS-work> Madnez type umount
[06:30] <KyleS-work> ah...
[06:30] <wabid> doesnt work either
[06:30] <wabid> the ubuntu account on the live cd doesnt have a password
[06:30] <Madnez> thats it?
[06:30] <wabid> and it still has an encrypted hash
[06:30] <KyleS-work> you need to know the location the ISO is mounted at
[06:30] <Madnez> nope
[06:30] <Madnez> not unmount
[06:30] <KyleS-work> if it's mounted at /mnt/iso or something
[06:30] <derrrface> kyleS-work: they are all turned down....
[06:30] <KyleS-work> type umount /mnt/iso
[06:30] <wabid> umount
[06:30] <KyleS-work> ah...sorry, I'm not sure then
[06:30] <dystopianray> wabid: the livecd is probably has gdm configured to autologin that account
[06:30] <sethk> wabid, well, I've made it work, and apparently you haven't, but it appears you know more about it than I do ...
[06:30] <Madnez> unmount is not a command
[06:30] <wabid> then why dont you need a password to run sudo su
[06:31] <KyleS-work> the live cd has no password
[06:31] <dystopianray> Madkiss: umount
[06:31] <vegananarchist> My mp3 player is only showing up as read-only, It's not even featured in the fstab file, i tried to use sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 to fix it but it says that it can't find the disk in fstab
[06:31] <KyleS-work> it's just ubuntu
[06:31] <KyleS-work> and blank
[06:31] <wabid> correct
[06:31] <Madnez> ahh ok
[06:31] <dystopianray> wabid: sudo is configured to not ask for a password on the livecd
[06:31] <dino_> Can anyone help me? I'm using a MX1000 through bluetooth which dont work at all, and using logitech dinovo edge keyboard on another bluetooth usb device... but mx1000 wont work! need help
[06:31] <Madnez> my mistake
[06:31] <wabid> kk
[06:31] <Madnez> its Umount
[06:31] <KyleS-work> right
[06:31] <Madnez> :P
[06:31] <Madnez> thanks
[06:31] <wabid> do you think this will work in gutsy - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=123116
[06:31] <sethk> wabid, sudo allows you to specify the situations in which you enter a password or are not prompted for a password.  See the various password options in the sudoers file
[06:32] <dystopianray> wabid: ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:32] <walidch> hi all, how can I know what version of xorg i am running?
[06:32] <wabid> noone there
[06:32] <chalcedony> dino_: better to say what specific steps you need help with
[06:32] <dystopianray> walidch: are you running feisty?
[06:32] <wabid> im just wondering if anyone knows of any reasons it wouldnt
[06:32] <walidch> yes dystopianray
[06:32] <dystopianray> walidch: you are running x.org 7.2
[06:32] <soundray> wabid: why don't you talk to sethk politely, who has set it up for himself.
[06:32] <walidch> dystopianray: ok thank you
[06:32] <dino_> chalcedony: i need someone to help me get mx1000 to work... dinovo edge is working perfectly, but i dont like laptop mouse on my desktop computer.....
[06:32] <vegananarchist> did anyone get my question?
[06:33] <Madnez> shooot
[06:33] <dystopianray> vegananarchist: try removing the fstab line, it should mount automatically
[06:33] <Madnez> its there another command for un-mounting ISO?
[06:33] <vegananarchist> the drive is mounting
[06:33] <Madnez> it says my file is not mounted based on mtab
[06:33] <vegananarchist> but it is read only
[06:33] <gorski> where are stored icons in ubuntu?
[06:33] <vegananarchist> and it's not in the fstab at all
[06:33] <Madnez> great
[06:34] <Shapeshifter> heyho. One issue, I have it from time to time with different packages. The updater keeps telling me that there are updates, but the old and new version totally match. is there a command to clean that mess up?
[06:34] <dystopianray> Madnez: did you actually mount the iso?
[06:34] <Madnez> so how do i remove it ;)
[06:34] <Madnez> well i have a folder here....
[06:34] <sethk> vegananarchist, there are default options used to mount a partition that does not appear in fstab
[06:34] <vegananarchist> ok
[06:34] <Madnez> i had forgotten which command i used to mount the ISO
[06:34] <pavel^k> hi
[06:34] <dystopianray> Madnez: sudo umount /path doesn't work?
[06:35] <Madnez> the prob is the path
[06:35] <gautada> Shapeshifter: Try %> sudo apt-get autoclean
[06:35] <vegananarchist> well the drive worked fine last night, but now my mp3 player is read only
[06:35] <dystopianray> Madnez: type 'mount' to see if it has actually been mounted
[06:35] <dino_> do i need a big 3dcard to use the special effects in ubuntu? like beryl and compiz etc.
[06:35] <vegananarchist> and i need to make it rw
[06:35] <Madnez> yeah its mounted
[06:35] <wabid> what did i say
[06:35] <dystopianray> vegananarchist: does it have some sort of read-only switch on it?
[06:35] <vegananarchist> no
[06:36] <dystopianray> Madnez: so do: sudo umount /wherever/it's/mounted
[06:36] <eracc> Hey all. If I reformat a USB 1GB thumb drive *back* to FAT16 using Linux tools  will 'doze systems recognize the partition? I had formatted it to ext3 but I need to transfer a bunch of camera picture files (about 500MB) to a friend who only has a XP desktop.
[06:36] <sethk> Madnez, umount /dev/whatever works as well
[06:36] <KyleS-work> type df -h
[06:36] <Madnez> hmmm ok got it
[06:36] <KyleS-work> and see where the iso is mounted
[06:36] <Madnez> seemed i missed a line
[06:36] <dystopianray> eracc: i beleive you need the partition id set correctly before windows will recognise it
[06:36] <sethk> eracc, yes, it will mount it.  FAT32 is a much better idea, but either will work
[06:36] <gautada> vegananarchist: try %> sudo mount -o loop /iso/file/path.iso /mount/point/path
[06:36] <Madnez> thanks for the  mount tip, gave me the full path ;)
[06:37] <Madnez> isnt FAT32 limited to files <4gig?
[06:37] <KyleS-work> :P
[06:37] <Madnez> i hate fat because of that
[06:37] <walidch> does Compiz Fusion work if I have my only monitor plugged into the DVI?
[06:37] <eracc> dystopianray, sethk, thanks.
[06:37] <Shapeshifter> gautada: Tried that, it's still there. Its a compiz-core package, but it's totally useless because it's even outdated
[06:37] <vegananarchist> /iso/file/path.iso: No such file or directory
[06:37] <soundray> eracc: you could also get your friend to install ext2fsd, which will make Windows read ext3 volumes.
[06:37] <eracc> dystopianray, does parted and the like not set the proper partition ID?
[06:38] <KyleS-work> or explore2fs
[06:38] <gautada> vegananarchist: duh you need to change the paths to your settings...
[06:38] <Madnez> odd
[06:38] <vegananarchist> ha
[06:38] <Madnez> the dir is still around
[06:38] <genii> vegananarchist: I believe the idea is you substitute there your own path and iso filename
[06:38] <derrrface> is there any way to download new sound drivers?
[06:38] <eracc> soundray, I will suggest that but I suspect he won't go for it. ;)
[06:38] <Madnez> rm doesnt even remove the dir
[06:38] <dystopianray> eracc: yes parted should, i imagine it'll 'just work'
[06:38] <KyleS-work> try rm -R
[06:38] <KyleS-work> that'll remove the directory :P
[06:38] <eracc> dystopianray, ok, thanks.
[06:38] <KyleS-work> BUT!
[06:38] <dystopianray> eracc: using fat on the drive is significantly simpler than trying to get ext2/3 working in windows
[06:38] <vegananarchist> i'm not dealing with ISO what is this part mean /iso/file/path.iso
[06:38] <KyleS-work> but it'll delete stuff in it
[06:39] <Madnez> ahh thanks again
[06:39] <eracc> dystopianray, that is what I figured.
[06:39] <pike_> !cli | Madnez
[06:39] <ubotu> Madnez: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[06:39] <Madnez> -R is for directory? why cap R?
[06:39] <KyleS-work> well, recursive
[06:39] <dystopianray> Madnez: -R means recursive
[06:39] <KyleS-work> can be lowercase too
[06:39] <Pici> vegananarchist: What type of file are you dealing with?
[06:39] <KyleS-work> I think
[06:39] <KyleS-work> maybe it's just mv -r
[06:39] <Madnez> hahaa
[06:39] <Madnez> totally forgotten the commands
[06:39] <dystopianray> -r and -R do the same thing for rm
[06:39] <Madnez> maybe i should use more terminal :D
[06:39] <sethk> KyleS-work, are we talking about rm of mv?  For rm, both -r and -R work.
[06:39] <vegananarchist> i'm dealing with an mp3 player that won't mount rw
[06:39] <gautada> Shapeshifter: You  should reboot into the command-line and remove the package then reinstall and reboot
[06:40] <sethk> KyleS-work, for mv, neither work
[06:40] <Pici> vegananarchist: Then I have no idea why that erson told you to use mount -o loop
[06:40] <vegananarchist> haha
[06:40] <KyleS-work> ah ok
[06:40] <bruenig> mv doesn't need you to specify recursive, it does it automatically
[06:40] <vegananarchist> do you have any help?
[06:40] <KyleS-work> ah
[06:40] <KyleS-work> you are right bruenig
[06:40] <bruenig> indeed
[06:40] <KyleS-work> I don't use ubuntu anymore :P
[06:41] <Shapeshifter> gautada: Is there no prossiblity to just remove the entry? because I think it's not a real package or something beacuse today I uptadet compiz-core to the newest version but that compiz-core entry there has been sticky for days....
[06:41] <KyleS-work> but, I still like it :)
[06:41] <sethk> bruenig, that's true (about mv), but if you do enter -r it yells at you.  :)
[06:41] <Madnez> ubuntu is fast, less crap and a real hands on bitch
[06:41] <Shapeshifter> gautada: so there seems to be a real and an obsolete package or something like that
[06:41] <Madnez> i love it :D
[06:42] <bruenig> fast?
[06:42] <wabid> how can i tell fstab to mount a drive for one user, but not another
[06:42] <soothsayer> What features does the medibuntu ffmpeg package have that are not present in the official version?
[06:42] <Madnez> course i spend too much time going over ubuntu that i need more time for my studies!!! =.=
[06:42] <bruenig> haven't used many other distros have you?
[06:42] <Madnez> ok thanks guys, now back to studies
[06:42] <KyleS-work> <---Archlinux :)
[06:42] <vegananarchist> still needed help
[06:42] <KyleS-work> I used gentoo before Arch
[06:42] <KyleS-work> those are fast :)
[06:43] <KyleS-work> Ubuntu is fast to install
[06:43] <sethk> KyleS-work, with the same configuration, ubuntu is a bit faster than gentoo.
[06:43] <zorro>  Un saluto a tutto il canale!
[06:43] <wabid> madnez i have the same problem
[06:43] <KyleS-work> Gentoo takes too long to do anything with
[06:43] <KyleS-work> that's why I don't use it :)
[06:43] <vegananarchist> how do you format a drive
[06:43] <KyleS-work> But Arch...it's like MC Hammer's song :P
[06:43] <dystopianray> vegananarchist: use gparted
[06:43] <KyleS-work> Can't touch this
[06:43] <KyleS-work> lol
[06:44] <dystopianray> break it down
[06:44] <KyleS-work> oh oh oh oh oh
[06:44] <KyleS-work> stop!
[06:44] <teb> so i have 8 updates to install, but update-manager says that they're not authenticated, should i install these packages anyways?  they're things like linux headers and linux source
[06:44] <Shapeshifter> I don't see why Ubuntu should be any slower than any other linux
[06:44] <KyleS-work> Hammertime
[06:44] <KyleS-work> it's a little more bloated
[06:44] <KyleS-work> loads more modules
[06:44] <KyleS-work> that's about it
[06:44] <Shapeshifter> in which way bloated?
[06:44] <LjL> join ##ljl
[06:44] <Shapeshifter> ahh
[06:44] <dystopianray> more apps installed by default
[06:44] <sethk> teb, if you don't install things that aren't authenticated, you effectively can't use the update facility at all.
[06:44] <bruenig> more daemons
[06:44] <Shapeshifter> yeah but apps installed by default don't slow down a machine
[06:45] <bruenig> my god so many daemons
[06:45] <KyleS-work> I like Arch's KISS method
[06:45] <teb> sethk: it's just that i've never seen non-authenticated packages before, this warning box has never come up before
[06:45] <ronnie> I'm having trouble playing this dvd with totem, it has a bunch of .bup .vob .ifo
[06:45] <KyleS-work> but like I said
[06:45] <KyleS-work> I <3 ubuntu too :)
[06:45] <Shapeshifter> Once I tried mandriva. IT was bloated. Ubuntu at least "feels" kinda fast....
[06:45] <sris> is it possible to upgrade from dapper drake to a new (any) version of ubuntu, with e.g. the update manager?
[06:45] <KyleS-work> Ubuntu was my first Linux Desktop Distro
[06:45] <dystopianray> ronnie: you don't mount dvds to play them
[06:45] <iamrtg> do you guys know how do to turn off daemons from starting durring boot, like i have a bluetooth one that i don't want to start
[06:45] <teb> sethk: and i would think that at least linux-headers-2.6.20-16 would be signed
[06:46] <ronnie> dystopianray: thanks problem solved
[06:46] <pike_> yeah mandrake and the later versions of it too are bloat kings in my book
[06:46] <sethk> teb, indeed, one would expect and hope that is the case, but frequently it isn't.
[06:47] <teb> sethk: if i wait a while will a signed version be available, it wouldn't be in my best security interests to use unsigned packages (i'm a little bit of a security freak)
[06:47] <LjL> join ##metabot
[06:47] <sethk> teb, I don't disagree.  Obviously I don't know why you are updating, so I can't say whether or not waiting makes sense.
[06:47] <dystopianray> teb: all packages are signed, if not there is probably something wrong with the repos you are using
[06:47] <ronnie> dystopianray: nope actually not solved, it wants to mount the dvd to play it
[06:48] <dystopianray> ronnie: hrrm I've never used totem before but other players don't need to mount dvds to play them
[06:48] <teb> sethk: update manager said, hey i have package updates for you, here they are, that's why i'm updating
[06:48] <dystopianray> ronnie: for example on kaffeine I can just click 'play dvd' and it'll play and it doesn't need to be mounted
[06:48] <sethk> teb, if you are security conscious, you should NEVER update simply because an update is available.
[06:48] <Shapeshifter> ....I don't understand why some people are ripping on ubuntu for being easy to use ^^
[06:48] <ronnie> dystopianray: if I click play dvd it opens drive and I put dvd in then it mounts it and has new option of play dvd but with title of movie
[06:48] <teb> dystopianray: i'm using the default repos, i haven't edited my sources.list
[06:48] <eltese> Hi. Im thinking about buying a laptop but the thing is I dont know wich hardware to use and it is essential that I can have HD playback _AND_ a Dual Layer burner. So mainly Im wondering if anyone can help set something up? :) Pls message me :)
[06:48] <dystopianray> ronnie: and that doesn't work?
[06:48] <ronnie> nope
[06:49] <teb> sethk: i totally agree, but when it comes to things like the kernel and the headers i try to stay on top of them for security fixes
[06:49] <dystopianray> eltese: get a dell with ubuntu preinstalled
[06:49] <ronnie> dystopianray: it says it is missing codec or something but I have every gstreamer there is installed
[06:49] <tc75> ya des softs (ex. gnome) style access? pour grer des BD perso
[06:49] <Whitor> Hi. How do I get the 'windows' key to behave as the 'Super' key?
[06:49] <dystopianray> ronnie: did you install libdvdcss2?
[06:49] <ronnie> dystopianray: I tried using vlc and totem on files within the dvd itself but no such luck either
[06:50] <sethk> teb, indeed, but it is not uncommon for a security related patch to fix one problem and create others.  It's best to wait a while before patching, unless you know that the specific security issue that is addressed is actually relevant to your installation.  Many are quite specialized and don't apply to many configurations.
[06:50] <sethk> teb, IMO, of course
[06:50] <Whitor> Its the default key binding for compiz-fusion
[06:50] <tc75> hi, are there any good softs (ex. gnome) like access, for personal dbs?
[06:50] <dystopianray> ronnie: do you have libdvdcss2 installed?
[06:50] <ronnie> I'm installing libdvdplay hopefully that works
[06:50] <ronnie> I don't see it anywhere in repository
[06:50] <dystopianray> ronnie: install libdvdread3
[06:51] <quint> how i cab unload xserver?
[06:51] <quint> how i can unload xserver?
[06:51] <dystopianray> ronnie: then do: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[06:51] <Rageon> how do i change when i click on a movie file what the default program that opens it is?
[06:51] <ronnie> dystopianray: already got that installed
[06:51] <panosru> I can short files by type in ubuntu but how can i display them in groups like in windows?
[06:51] <eltese> dystopianray: Yeah, But the the Swedish Dell company doesnt give you that option... Or I cant find it at their website =)
[06:51] <Pici> quint: uninstall it, or stop it?
[06:51] <quint> stop
[06:51] <teb> sethk: i respect your O, and agree with you however as i am unknowing in some aspects of linux i don't know if a particular update actually fixes something that is broken that i have or not
[06:51] <dystopianray> eltese: oh they might not offer it in sweden yet
[06:51] <quint> for installing drvs
[06:52] <Shapeshifter> Is there a good client for linux that can read/import/download outlook exchange calendars?
[06:52] <Pici> quint: `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop`
[06:52] <KyleS-work> yah
[06:52] <KyleS-work> use evolution
[06:52] <teb> sethk: so i can either stay with a hole i might possibly have or possibly create a new one, such a conundrum
[06:52] <ronnie> ooh thx that helps
[06:52] <biblio5> rocco
[06:52] <quint> thanks
[06:52] <Pici> Shapeshifter: I believe evolution can do that.
[06:52] <biblio5> alguien
[06:52] <biblio5> k hable castellano??????????
[06:52] <Pici> !es | biblio5
[06:52] <ubotu> biblio5: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[06:52] <ronnie> dystopianray; still not playing it though
[06:52] <Tarkus> any idea how i can get my scanner/printer to scan? cause i added the printer, but now i dont know how to scan..
[06:53] <Rageon> how do i change when i click on a movie file what the default program that opens it is?
[06:53] <dystopianray> ronnie: did you do this? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[06:53] <Shapeshifter> Pici: k thx I'll have a look at it
[06:53] <ronnie> dystopianray: yeah and it installed some package
[06:53] <genii> dystopianray: DellBuntus are only being distributed in the U.S. right now afaik
[06:53] <sethk> teb, indeed, it isn't obvious what is best.  You can only play the odds.  I think the odds favor waiting a short time after a patch is released, but in any given situation this may be wrong.  It also depends on what you know about who did the patch.  I'm much more nervous about installing a windows patch than I am about installing a linux patch.
[06:53] <Pici> Rageon: right click on the program, properties, I believe its the last tab there.
[06:53] <eltese> dystopianray: Nope, they dont :) But I know how to set up a DM. I have been using Debian, Arch, Ubuntu and Kubuntu =) So that is not the problem. The problem is that I dont know anything about wich hardware I should use nor howto make sure I get 720p HD playback ;9
[06:53] <Rageon> ty ill look into that
[06:53] <PriceChild> genii, and uk... probably a few others too
[06:53] <magnetron> !hardware | eltese
[06:53] <ubotu> eltese: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[06:53] <dystopianray> ronnie: now restart your media player and try to play a dvd again
[06:54] <dystopianray> genii: I thought they were available in the UK now too?
[06:54] <teb> sethk:  lol if i had a windows machine, i'd probably be running windows 2000, and i'm not sure they make patches for that anymore
[06:54] <ronnie> did that but let me reinsert dvd as well
[06:54] <Rageon> worked thanks Pici
[06:54] <dystopianray> eltese: 720p is only 1280x720, that isn't much, any laptop will give you that
[06:55] <ronnie> dystopianray: do you mean 1024x768 or 1280x800?
[06:55] <magnetron> eltese: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase#buy hasa a list of vendors. the Swedish one sells ubuntu laptops
[06:55] <genii> PriceChild , dystopianray Well my info is from 6 weeks ago now so it may have expanded distribution since then. They were only made available to Canada 3 weeks ago now and still then were being shipped from US
[06:55] <wubrgame1> hey guys, i'm in a school environment running my own computer..but i need to connect to a web proxy to get online...anyone know of a good proxy /
[06:55] <wubrgame1> * ?
[06:55] <wabid> is there a way if i have a guest account, to tell it its not allowed to mount a certain drive, but still let them use external drives
[06:55] <Pici> !offtopic | wubrgame1
[06:55] <ubotu> wubrgame1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:55] <dystopianray> ronnie: yes 1280x800 will be suitable
[06:55] <ronnie> wabid: yeah set up its permissions
[06:55] <sethk> wubrgame1, the question doesn't make sense.  A web proxy runs on another machine, not on your machine.
[06:56] <dystopianray> ronnie: afaik most laptop screens these days are 1280x800 and up
[06:56] <wabid> do i chown the directory its mounted to
[06:56] <wabid> or to /dev/sda1 or whatever
[06:56] <dystopianray> wubrgame1: do you need to connect to your school's proxy server?
[06:56] <wubrgame1> i know that...i need a proxy address that's publicly accessible ! i just need a link...or a better channel that can help me...
[06:56] <ronnie> dystopianray: mine is 1440x900 but I didn't go for the 1600x1200 :(
[06:56] <sris> i try to update from dapper drake to edgy, using the update manager, but i get the following error: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1), any ideas of what i should do?
[06:56] <wubrgame1> i know how to connect...i'm talking to you right now...but the school's has filtering software....i want one that's open...
[06:56] <magnetron> wubrgame1: google for "open proxy"
[06:57] <dystopianray> ronnie: mine is 1680x1050, but only a 15" screen
[06:57] <wubrgame1> i can't....most are blocked'
[06:57] <magnetron> wubrgame1: google somewhere else
[06:57] <dystopianray> wubrgame1: you want to use tunnel through the school's proxy server into a remote machien to get unrestricted internet access?
[06:57] <Pici> wubrgame1: This is not on topic for Ubuntu support.
[06:57] <Shapeshifter> wubrgame1: do you mean vpn?
[06:58] <magnetron> wubrgame1: also, use google cache to get a cached version of a proxy list
[06:58] <wubrgame1> i know this is off topic...i don't know where else to go
[06:58] <nanbudh> Hi friends! could anyone help me out with disk problem? on bootup ubuntu shows my home directory(sda7) has errors. i want to run fsck manually, how can i unmount the home directory before running fsck? when i try to unmount it says device busy.
[06:58] <wubrgame1> thanks ! i'll leave !
[06:59] <tamereenslip> hi all
[06:59] <dystopianray> nanbudh: you need to stop any process that is accessing /home
[06:59] <ronnie> dystopianray: still no luck with this dvd :/
[06:59] <nanbudh> well currently i am running firefox and a terminal window. what could be accessing it? i dont have any idea?
[06:59] <tamereenslip> got a problem : i updated my kernel using the update manager, and after reboot, my laptop touchpad does'nt work anymore
[06:59] <Rageon> guys i wanna change rearrange Places and System to be inside of Applications and to rename Applications.. anyone point me in the right direction?
[06:59] <ronnie> dystopianray: i mean it is a dvd player and all
[07:00] <dystopianray> ronnie: try installing libxine-extracodecs and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[07:00] <nanbudh> is there any way to check what is accessing it?
[07:00] <bruenig> Rageon, hahaha, in gnome? good luck
[07:00] <Rageon> serious?
[07:00] <bruenig> Rageon, such configurability is too confusing says gnome
[07:00] <ronnie> dystopianray: don't think totem uses those xine ones
[07:00] <tamereenslip> got a problem : i updated my kernel using the update manager, and after reboot, my laptop touchpad does'nt work anymore : does anyone have a clue ?
[07:00] <ronnie> nanbudh: yeah there is
[07:00] <Rageon> i see ubuntu screenshots all the time
[07:00] <dystopianray> ronnie: make sure you have the streamer one plugged in then
[07:00] <dystopianray> ronnie: i mean installed
[07:01] <sethk> bruenig, Rageon, It's not impossible to do.
[07:01] <bruenig> it is the way he describes it
[07:01] <dystopianray> nanbudh: lsof /home
[07:01] <tamereenslip> got a problem : i updated my kernel using the update manager, and after reboot, my laptop touchpad does'nt work anymore : does anyone have a clue ?
[07:01] <sethk> bruenig, Rageon, You have to edit the text files; there is no GUI application that does that for you
[07:01] <bruenig> sethk, no, he is talking about a complete different applet
[07:01] <sethk> tamereenslip, the kernel module for the touchpad is either not there, or is not loaded.
[07:01] <Rageon> which text files? are they uber hard to understand?
[07:01] <XXer> Could someone tell me how to format a flash drive?
[07:02] <sethk> bruenig, possibly I misunderstood, but with source code, anything is still possible if you have the time and inclination.  :)
[07:02] <ronnie> nanbudh: use lsof or fuser -m commands to see what is using that directory
[07:02] <tamereenslip> sethk : thanks, what can I do ?
[07:02] <tamereenslip> (without a mouse)
[07:02] <bruenig> places and administration aren't going away, doesn't mater what text file you edit. You can use the all in one menu but it doesn't let you rename or anything. yeah you can write your own applet like sethk says
[07:02] <dystopianray> XXer: you can use gparted to do it
[07:03] <Rageon> i only wanna move the "panel links" of these you understand this right?
[07:03] <boris_> !gutsy
[07:03] <ubotu> 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
[07:03] <Pici> Rageon: Where do you want to move them to?
[07:03] <AronRaavHex> is it possible to remove that bar that's located on the left of the window list? when i right click on it and select "remove from panel" the whole window list is removed
[07:03] <sethk> tamereenslip, if the old kernel is still available, boot it and capture the results of the command    lsmod     .  Then boot the new kernel, do the same command (lsmod), and compare the output.  The required module will show as loaded in the old kernel and will not appear in the list in the new kernel.
[07:03] <Whitor> Where do I enable the Hot Corners feature in compiz-fusion? (in ccsm?)
[07:03] <murlidhar_> when i sudo apt-get install tracker it says already installed . Where can i find the application in my system????
[07:03] <Rageon> i wanna move [Places]  & [System]  into [Applications]  and rename Applications to ""
[07:03] <sethk> tamereenslip, of course there may be more than one such module, but usually the name is sufficiently suggestive to allow you to figure out which is the one for the touchpad
[07:04] <Rageon> this is in the panel at the top of my screen..
[07:04] <nanbudh> ronnie: i used lsof command, there is a lot of output but i being a novice cannot make anything out of it
[07:04] <Whitor> murlidhar: try typing tracker & on the command line
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> murlidhar_ fire up synaptic and look at the installed files.
[07:04] <dystopianray> nanbudh: pastebin it
[07:04] <ronnie> dystopianray: already told him that heh, there also fuser -m and fuser -am
 Im vary new to linux and i dont know what that means
[07:04] <sm-afk> good morning. How do I suspend a feisty laptop ?
[07:04] <dystopianray> nanbudh: you do realise that you have to logout to unmount /home don't you?
[07:05] <ronnie> dystopianray: oops my bad I scrolled up :/
[07:05] <Rageon> any idea pici?
[07:05] <tamereenslip> sethk : thanks
[07:05] <dystopianray> XXer: if you press alt+f2 and type 'gksudo gparted' you'll be able to format your drive
[07:05] <ronnie> dystopianray: couldn't he just disown sudo su? and be root to unmount his /home?
[07:05] <nanbudh> shall i try the oh! i have to logout? ok but then i would have to log in thru some other user account,no? and that would also need to be an administrative account right?
[07:05] <dystopianray> ronnie: he'd have to logout from his user
[07:06] <Pici> Rageon: I think you can move the system menu inside the application menu using the menu editor, but afaik, you cant do the same with the places menu.
[07:06] <nanbudh> quite logical, i do havre to logout
[07:06] <nanbudh> *have
[07:06] <ronnie> dystopianray: nah there got to be a way not having to log out
[07:06] <nanbudh> really ronnie? how?
[07:06] <Pici> Rageon: There is an alternative menu panel called gnome-main-menu that is only one button, you could try installing and using that.
[07:06] <ronnie> dystopianray: I mean if he becomes root wouldn't that work?
[07:06] <nanbudh> ok this is my ;learning time
[07:06] <dystopianray> nanbudh: what do you want to do again, i can't remember? was it just fsck the drive?
[07:06] <XXer> thanks Ill give it a try
[07:06] <ronnie> dystopianray: I mean he has to anyway to use umount right
[07:06] <dystopianray> ronnie: no it wouldn't
[07:06] <murlidhar_> Dr_Willis: thnks i did not install the gui for tracker
[07:07] <dystopianray> ronnie: if the partition is being used it can't be unmounted
[07:07] <Shapeshifter> Does anyone know the channel of evolution or how a typical exchange url should look like? mine is like ex0.mydomain.com but I can't even click on "Authenticate"....
[07:07] <nanbudh> yeas fsck the sda7 disk, ubuntu gave message to do that manually cos the check failed during bootup, this is the second time it happened
[07:07] <Pici> Shapeshifter: I've found that you need to use the OWA address.
[07:07] <ronnie> dystopianray: so like become root and like.. kick the other account ?
[07:07] <sethk> Shapeshifter, I doubt you can't click on it.  Either it isn't in the list, or you click on it and nothing happens, but you can always click.  :)
[07:08] <dystopianray> ronnie: err you just can't do that
[07:08] <dissection> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop. When I boot from the CD, first I get an error message saying "Could not allocate memory resource", then I get the Ubuntu loading screen, and then it says "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off".
[07:08] <ronnie> dystopianray: its root supposedly it can do all
[07:08] <Shapeshifter> sethk: No, it's greyed out
[07:08] <Rageon> aight pici ill give that a whirl.. do i need to uninstall my current one>/
[07:08] <dystopianray> ronnie: well you 'can' but killing his X session would lose him his root shell
[07:08] <Shapeshifter> sethk: or... ok, it was a joke huh ^^ :P
[07:08] <sethk> Shapeshifter, indeed.  So you can click on it.  Nothing happens, but you can click on it.  :)
[07:08] <Znortfl> Hello ubuntu people. Is there any way of quickly installing php-gtk2 via the repository or will I have to compile from source?
[07:08] <Rageon> look ike! your daddies a dolphin!
[07:08] <nanbudh> how about if i logout and then enter another account with  admn privileges?
[07:08] <dystopianray> nanbudh: if you do: sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot it'll fsck all your partitions on boot
[07:08] <ronnie> dystopianray: umm well use console and restart x?
[07:09] <Pici> Rageon: No, its just a different panel applet, you'll have to use the applet add thing to add it to your panel.
[07:09] <Shapeshifter> sethk: I met buttons that are unclickable beacause the mouse pointer jumps avay from them as soon as you hover over them :P
[07:09] <sethk> Znortfl, I haven't tried it with the latest release, but earlier releases have packages and I'm sure the latest also has packages.
[07:09] <dystopianray> ronnie: yeah that might work, it might require a direct root login though, not via sudo
[07:09] <nanbudh> dysto: it is doing so at bootup but failing at sda7 which i checked is my home
[07:09] <Rageon> ahh k cool, where would i grab this? Synaptic PM?
[07:09] <Znortfl> sethk, any special repo for that then? Synaptic cant find it for me
[07:09] <sethk> Shapeshifter, sounds like the old mouse chaser virus.  This was (many years ago now) a virus that made everything on your desktop move away from your mouse.  :)
[07:09] <nanbudh> so guys what do u suggest?
[07:10] <sethk> Znortfl, I'll see if my repo list has it.
[07:10] <ronnie> nanbudh: killall * then go root and umount that sucker
[07:10] <Pici> Rageon: I believe the package is calld gnome-main-menu in synaptic
[07:10] <ronnie> nanbudh: no clue what it will crash though :/
[07:10] <sm> how to suspend/sleep a feisty laptop ? anyone ?
[07:10] <Rageon> found it mate cheers
[07:10] <nanbudh> after i enter as another user account how do i use fsck comman? should it be like sudo fsck /dev/sda7   ?
[07:10] <dystopianray> nanbudh: logout, press ctrl+alt+f1, login, cd to /, and then use sudo to umount /home and fsck the partition
[07:10] <dystopianray> nanbudh: that might work
[07:10] <LadyNikon> no idea.. i dont use sleep or suspend
[07:10] <sris> Hi! I try to update from dapper drake to edgy, using the update manager, but i get the following error: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1), any ideas of what i should do fix it?
[07:10] <dystopianray> nanbudh: yes that'll do
[07:10] <Rageon> It also integrates with the Beagle search tool to provide search facilities
[07:10] <Rageon> from the start menu. It provides shortcuts for common system
[07:10] <Rageon> administration actions and integrates with network-manager for network
[07:10] <Rageon> status reporting.
[07:11] <RainCT> hi
[07:11] <ronnie> dystopianray: why would he need to cd to /
[07:11] <Rageon> ^^ sounds like malware? lol
[07:11] <Pici> Rageon:
[07:11] <RainCT> how can I let a script be run at startup with a certain user as owner?
[07:11] <sethk> dissection, the "job control turned off" message is harmless, you can ignore it.  The "not enough memory" message is more significant.  You can go ahead and try the install, but it may well fail due to lack of memory.  It's possible there is a BIOS glitch in the memory size reporting, and there really is enough memory.  In this case the install will work.
[07:11] <dystopianray> ronnie: becuase the default working directory is within /home, which will prevent an unmount
[07:11] <Whitor> In Compiz-Fusion, What is the plugin called that lets you have 'Hot Corners' ?
[07:11] <nanbudh> ok i shall try it now,,,see u in a bit
[07:11] <Rageon> yes pici?
[07:11] <ferronica> can i install windows Xp over ubuntu 7.04
[07:11] <dissection> sethk: But how do I start Ubuntu?
[07:11] <dystopianray> nanbudh: easiest way is to just boot the livecd and fsck from there
[07:11] <Rageon> :)
[07:11] <nanbudh> c u
[07:11] <sm> I expected sleep/suspend to be in the menu, like it was in previous releases
[07:11] <Pici> Rageon: er, its not malware...
[07:12] <Rageon> lol
[07:12] <Rageon> i was waiting for some huge speech lol
[07:12] <ronnie> dystopianray: hmm I don't recall that being a problem in past guess I jus never noticed
[07:12] <Pici> Rageon: I decided against it ;)
[07:12] <Rageon> haha :)
[07:12] <Rageon> so is this beagle thing already in my PC or what dude?
[07:13] <sethk> dissection, I think as a first option I'd try booting the alternate cd and doing a text mode install.  It takes less memory and might avoid the glitch.  I'm assuming that there actually is enough memory in the box.
[07:13] <Rageon> integrates with network-manager for network
[07:13] <Rageon> status reporting. - wtf is that? lol
[07:13] <Rageon> im just being paranoid
[07:13] <Rageon> soz, *taps chest
[07:13] <dissection> sethk: I have 2GB RAM. Its waiting for me to type something..
[07:13] <cvolante><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:14] <Pici> Rageon: It just has a little icon on it that shows the status of your network, but its pretty sleek.  Its a Gnome application, you know, the same people who made the entire desktop environment.  Its safe.  I wouldn't suggest it otherwise.
[07:14] <xeer> i'm trying to use /dev/mapper but it says it's not found. this is suppose to be a directory correct?
[07:14] <Pici> Rageon: And if you don't like it, you can always remove it later.
[07:14] <razer> Hallo... how do i stop the grafic so i cane install driver to my grafic card?
[07:14] <dystopianray> xeer: that's right
[07:14] <sethk> dissection, 2 gb is (obviously) much more than enough.  Try the text mode install from the alternate cd.  You can start the install program from the command line, but your chances of success are (IMO) considerably greater with the alternate cd text mode install.
[07:14] <Pici> razer: `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop`
[07:14] <Rageon> cool, soz man im still a windoze monkey, hella paranoid about everything i download lol.. 50% or more has virus or malware
[07:14] <Rageon> (in windoze)
[07:15] <ferronica> Pici: hi
[07:15] <ronnie> Pici: lot of gnome apps all over place, I use xfce or fluxbox though, what does the app do by the way?
[07:15] <razer> Pici. Thanx :)
[07:15] <xeer> dystopianray, i'm using dmraid. i have my fakeraid active and i have an identifier for the set. i don't know why it's not showing up in the mapper
[07:15] <ferronica> Pici: i want to install xp over ubuntu is it possible?
[07:15] <dissection> sethk: Alternate CD? I have only 1 CD.
[07:15] <Pici> ronnie: Its just a applet replacement for the applications/places/admin menu
[07:15] <sethk> dissection, download the other one.
[07:15] <Pici> ferronica: Yes.
[07:16] <Rageon> pici i downloaded it, how i add it?
[07:16] <pike_> ferronica: you want to dual boot xp and ubuntu or install xp and run it virtually inside ubuntu?
[07:16] <ronnie> pici: ah lot of menu replacement things for kde, I was looking over those before
[07:16] <Pici>  Rageon : right click on your panel, select add to panel and search that window for something that says main menu.
[07:16] <ferronica> pike: ubuntu is already installed ,
[07:16] <murlidhar> ! ubuntu alternate  | dissection
[07:16] <ferronica> pike: now i want to install Xp Pro.
[07:17] <Pici> ferronica: And remove Ubuntu?
[07:17] <ferronica> Pici: no
[07:17] <tamereenslip> sethk, I rebooted using my old kernel and my touchpad still doesn't work, it may be anything i've done before rebboting (i had not rebooted my system for weeks)
[07:17] <dystopianray> ferronica: things are easier if you install xp before ubuntu
[07:17] <Rageon> leet dude now i can just remove all the other stuff yea??
[07:17] <OuT> hi ;)
[07:17] <ron11> hey guys, I just installed ndiswrapper and lost sound, is there any relation there? what can I do to fix it?
[07:17] <ronnie> ferronica: try wine, virtualbox, and themes. Its rather roomy
[07:17] <Rageon> rofl hi out
[07:17] <OuT> i think this will look good ;) http://youtube.com/watch?v=vLUXjXo7MuU
[07:17] <OuT> it is ultimate ubuntu :)
[07:17] <OuT> hi
[07:18] <ferronica> dystopianray: then i have to format HDD
[07:18] <jonbue> question...whenever i log out of my account the screen goes black at the login in what could be causing this?
[07:18] <pike_> ferronica: it is very easy but keep in mind xp will overwrite the mbr so youll need to fix that with livecd after install. 1) boot to livecd and use gparted to resize and free up disk space 2) install xp to free space 3) recover mbr
[07:18] <Rageon> it worked, champion, thanks pici :D and they said it couldnt be done HAH that was simple!
[07:18] <OuT> sorry for that shit what i was talking ;)
[07:18] <ferronica> dystopianray: Is there any way to backup all settings
[07:18] <Pici> !ohmy | OuT
[07:18] <ubotu> OuT: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:18] <OuT> i am a noob in irc ;)
[07:18] <sethk> tamereenslip, Sounds like the upgrade modified your X configuration file.  But you said you updated the kernel.  Just updating the kernel doesn't change the X configuration.  Is it possible that you manually loaded the module for the touch pad and forgot that you did it?
[07:18] <dystopianray> ferronica: you can still install xp afterwards, make a backup of your MBR though
[07:18] <Rageon> yer i was thinking about putting gamers ubuntu on my p3 600 for the loungeroom for the kids to play with lol
[07:18] <amygdala> is it possible to download ubuntu as a dvd instead of a cd?
[07:18] <pike_> ferronica: unless you need xp for gaming id install and run virtually
[07:18] <tarelerulz> You don't have to install  windows before windows.  In fact I have windows on second hard drive and Ubuntu on my first hard drive and ubuntu when I installed it figured all that out
[07:18] <jonbue> yes amy
[07:19] <stefg> !download | amygdala
[07:19] <ubotu> amygdala: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[07:19] <ferronica> dystopianray: i dont wanna to format hdd :(
[07:19] <amygdala> stefg: no in other words?
[07:19] <ron11> Can someone help me get my sound working? its being a real pain, I even compiled the new alsa-drvers/utils/libs/and oss
[07:20] <ronnie> OuT: actually that looks like fluxbuntu with compiz fusion. I like how they managed to get google earth going with that theme so well though
[07:20] <sethk> tarelerulz, linux has no problems running from any drive or partition.  However, windows in some cases won't run unless it is on the first partition of the first disk.  It's not related to the order of installation, rather it is related to the location of the windows install.  It doesn't always happen (windows refusing to run unless it's the first partition on the first disk), but it does happen, and not infrequently.
[07:20] <flush> yo
[07:20] <flush> how can i know whats the max writing speed of my burner?
[07:20] <dystopianray> ferronica: you don't need to format your hdd to install another OS
[07:20] <flush> is there a command that can show it
[07:20] <ferronica> dystopianray: then what to do
[07:20] <ron11> flush: it should say right on it
[07:20] <stefg> amygdala: i thought there's  DVD download link, too. So it exists, but don't know if that's really useful
[07:20] <ferronica> dystopianray: to install Xp Pro
[07:20] <flush> no its too old
[07:20] <tamereenslip> sethk, I rebooted using my old kernel and my touchpad still doesn't work, it may be anything i've done before rebboting (i had not rebooted my system for weeks)
[07:20] <nanbudh> dystopianray: i am stuck, i just realised(after logging as a diff admn user )that /home directory is  still mounted- i was thinking that /home/user01 was the one i needed to umount but i was wrong its neither /home/user01 nor /home/user02 but /home which is to be umounted. GUYS i am stuck. plz help
[07:20] <ron11> flush: than I would assume no more than 2x
[07:21] <flush> fark
[07:21] <amygdala> stefg, whou wouldn' that be usefull?
[07:21] <ronnie> OuT: what theme is it anyway?
[07:21] <dystopianray> nanbudh: boot the livecd and fsck from there
[07:21] <jonbue> whenever i log out of my account the screen goes black at the login in what could be causing this?
[07:21] <xeer> how can i get dmraid to map my raid set to the /dev/mapper?
[07:21] <ron11> flush: if its really that old, thats the only safe bet
[07:21] <Pici> nanbudh: You can fsck from the livecd.
[07:21] <amygdala> stefg, i just need to install ubuntu fast and i've only got dvds at home
[07:21] <Rageon> awesome pici its independant for each desktop too!
[07:21] <flush> im using gnomebaker and when it asks for speed i dont know..

[07:21] <stefg> amygdala: you'reususally downloading 4 GB of outdated software....
[07:22] <flush> what happens if i put 8x and it doesnt support, gonna scrap the cd or just downgrade to the max speed of the device
[07:22] <OuT> did u know something about programms for linux were i can see all dada from a handy ?
[07:22] <ferronica> dystopianray: then what to do to install Xp
[07:22] <bill__> nanbudh, umount /home   ?
[07:22] <ron11> flush: it will just notify you
[07:22] <dystopianray> ferronica: boot the xp cd and follow the prompts
[07:22] <OuT> or a programm to change the simlock :) ?
[07:22] <nanbudh> hmm, but i donot have live cd right now, i can arrange later but not right now, is there any other way? when i bootup and the automatic fsck fails it gives me a prompt as root(if i am not wrong) should/ could i give fsck command from there?
[07:22] <Pici> OuT: What?
[07:22] <flush> k
[07:22] <amygdala> stefg, let me rephrase the question then, is it possible to install ubuntu from a dvdr?
[07:22] <ron11> flush: just make sure your medium is rated for whagtever speed you chose
[07:22] <OuT> or is this no thema for this chanel :)
[07:22] <ferronica> dystopianray: it will format my hdd :(
[07:22] <flush> yea kk
[07:22] <OuT> i got a sony ericson handy
[07:22] <dystopianray> ferronica: it won't, if you have free space it will isntall onto into that
[07:23] <OuT> a friend tells me he can turn off simlock with linux
[07:23] <nanbudh> bill: it say device busy, home cannot be umounted
[07:23] <stefg> amygdala: of course.... these drives read CD-R's too
[07:23] <ferronica> dystopianray: i have 40GB hdd
[07:23] <murlidhar> ferronica:  give the structure of your hard disk to dystopianray
[07:23] <ferronica> dystopianray: only single partition
[07:23] <amygdala> stefg, it's the media that im asking about, not the reader
[07:23] <OuT> i what u to ask : do u know a programm for ubuntu to change simlock ?
[07:23] <dystopianray> ferronica: resize it to make additional space
[07:23] <bill__> nanbudh, boot single user, log in as root
[07:23] <ferronica> dystopianray: how ?
[07:23] <dystopianray> ferronica: boot the livecd and run gparted
[07:23] <ferronica> dystopianray: gparted
[07:23] <ferronica> dystopianray: okay
[07:24] <nanbudh> bill: what do u mean by single user?
[07:24] <ron11> can anyone help me? I don't have any sound, I'm using an Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) sound card in a laptop, I just installed ndiswrapper and now my sound isnt working at all
[07:24] <bill__> nanbudh, what do you want to do once you have it umounted?
[07:24] <murlidhar> ferronica: remember to resize from livecd only not from installed one
[07:24] <nanbudh> and if i know correctly we cant log in as root in ubunutu right?
[07:24] <tarelerulz> I have 3 computer now and they are all networked. I can ssh into them all ,but I can't vnc 2 of them.  I ssh into one computer and run vncserver and put out username-desktop:1 .  when I try to use that in vncserver it don't work. SO I use its ip and that don't work either ?
[07:24] <dystopianray> nanbudh: just boot the livecd and fsck from there
[07:24] <nanbudh> run fsck. my sda7 has errors
[07:24] <amygdala> stefg, i only have writeable dvd discs, and i dont really care about the download size, im just asking if it's possible, or if i have to buy a empty cdr disc
[07:25] <nanbudh> and sda7 is home
[07:25] <ferronica> murlidhar: then i have delete some movies
[07:25] <ferronica> murlidhar: there is only 2 GB left :(
[07:25] <Pici> nanbudh: Boot from the livecd... it doesnt mount any drives, then you can fsck.
[07:25] <jonbue> yes amy u can use a dvdr
[07:25] <ferronica> murlidhar: out of 40GB
[07:25] <dystopianray> ferronica: yes you'll need to free up some space
[07:26] <Rageon> anyone tell me how to speed up the autohide jump out in panels?
[07:26] <Rageon> (gnome)
[07:26] <bill__> nanbudh, in your grub/lilo boot prompt, add "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel command line, then you'll be at a root prompt
[07:26] <FFighter> hello
[07:26] <ferronica> dystopianray: okay thanx for your kind help :)
[07:26] <FFighter> does anyone know a FOSS similar to Advanced File ORganizer for WIndows?
[07:26] <nanbudh> guys tell me this, when automatic filecheck fails, it gives me a prompt as root(i think), what should i type to run fsck on /dev/sda7 from there?
[07:26] <murlidhar> ferronica: free some more space
[07:26] <stefg> amygdala: you can't burn a CD-R iso image to a DVD-Medium ...won't work, won't boot. so either google for some third party ubuntu DVD editition or buy some CD-R's
[07:26] <bill__> fsck /dev/sda7
[07:26] <FFighter> that allows you to create a db of all the removable media you have and search for files in this db ?
[07:27] <nanbudh> bill: ok i shall reboot now and give it a try
[07:27] <nanbudh> c u guys and thanks a lot
[07:27] <amygdala> stefg, then the answer to my first question is no ;) thanks
[07:27] <bill__> if that fails, your disk might really be bad
[07:27] <stefg> amygdala: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ here we go
[07:27] <nanbudh> bill: it says press control+d to bootup anyway and i do that and everything runs fine
[07:27] <Pici> stefg: Thats the Gutsy DVD....
[07:28] <nanbudh> bill:god knows what is happeneing
[07:28] <Dacke> Hello All
[07:28] <amygdala> stefg, ah, wonderfull, thanks
[07:28] <Dacke> Is this the support channel?
[07:28] <FFighter> any suggestions?
[07:28] <Pici> amygdala: Thats for the testing version, you probably don't want that.
[07:28] <FFighter> Dacke, did you read the channel welcome message ?
[07:28] <bill__> try fsck -y /dev/sda7
[07:28] <nanbudh> ok
[07:28] <amygdala> Pici, i dont really care, im just gonna write some latex and then im done ;P
[07:29] <Dacke> Sorry new to IRC how would I dod that?
[07:29] <Pici> amygdala: okay, good luck.
[07:29] <Dacke> Sorry do that
[07:29] <FFighter> Dacke, ok, np - and yeah this is the support channel
[07:29] <LadyNikon> Dacke: type /topic
[07:29] <jonbue> whenever i log out of my account the screen goes black at the login in what could be causing this?
[07:29] <Dacke> Great, thanks for that tip, I'm in the right place then.  I need some help with my gProFTPD server.
[07:30] <stefg> Pici: that built will be an official beta in a couple of hours, so it's reasonable to try that
[07:30] <murlidhar> Dacke: just ask ur question and please have some patience
[07:30] <Dacke> When I attempt to activate my server I get the following error "- Fatal: TLSRSACertificateFile: '/etc/gproftpd/gproftpd.pem' does not exist on line 53 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'"

[07:30] <PureEvilGeek> i'm trying out 7.04 on my laptop (using the live cd) and its going extremely (and i mean extremely) slow. what might be causing this?
[07:31] <tarelerulz> sethk , my system has two hard drive and windows install to the first partition of the second hard drive  and Ubuntu is on the first hard drive and the first partion .  I would just say install windows on the first partition of hard drive . then take that hard drive out and then put other hard drive in and install ubuntu on it  and have the second hard drive (windows one) as slave and have other hard drive with Ubuntu on it as the ma
[07:31] <PureEvilGeek> the laptop has 256mb of ram 1.5ghz cpu
[07:31] <Duende> I tried with smc ez connect and it didnt worked
[07:32] <FFighter> Isn't there something like Katalog for Gnome ?
[07:32] <xeer> how can i get dmraid to map my raid set to the /dev/mapper?
[07:32] <panosru> can anyone help me with kmobiletools?
[07:33] <Rageon> hey can anyone tell me how to speed up the gnome panel autohide?
[07:33] <punzada> new compiz update is nice
[07:33] <bill__> xeer,  man dmsetup
[07:33] <dissecti1n> shipit.ubuntu.com does not send the alternate CD?
[07:34] <Pici> Dacke: You might want to ask that in #proftpd, its a bit too specific for #ubuntu
[07:34] <Dacke> Ok thank you.
[07:34] <stefg> PureEvilGeek: not enough Ram and a slow CD drive
[07:35] <PureEvilGeek> 24x cd
[07:35] <PureEvilGeek> stefg: if i install ubuntu on the hard drive will this issue still be there?
[07:35] <Znortfl> php5-cli wont work for me, it complains about a "busfout" (dutch for "Bus error"). How can I fix this?
[07:36] <stefg> PureEvilGeek: no, because it runs from Harddisk then, and doesn't have a compressed filesystem anymore
[07:36] <stefg> PureEvilGeek: what are your systems spec ?
[07:36] <Rageon> hey can anyone tell me how to speed up the gnome panel autohide?
[07:36] <bladefistx2> hi all
[07:37] <stefg> Rageon: look in gconf-editor
[07:37] <PureEvilGeek> stefg: i don't remember them all exactly but i believe 256mb of ram 1.5ghz cpu and a 60gb hard drive (laptop)
[07:37] <radioman_> ..it is posible to hide all task bar, and not to leave a litle ?
[07:37] <bladefistx2> anyone bored enough to help a newbie with a small question?
[07:37] <murlidhar> PureEvilGeek: should work would have been better if 512mb of ram
[07:38] <bill__> bladefistx2, don't ask to ask :)
[07:38] <PureEvilGeek> murkyMurk: i can't remmeber exactly so i'm trying to load up the ubuntu cd to find out:)
[07:38] <David|V_> question, on the xfce what's the configuration tool gnome-sound-properties ?
[07:38] <hak5fan> Hi... Does ntfs-3g provide safe writeing to ntfs partitions?
[07:38] <PureEvilGeek> i do know that both my wired and wireless ethernet work, and its an nvidia video card so hardware wise i should be set
[07:38] <FFighter> this channel is pure chaos sometimes
[07:38] <stefg> PureEvilGeek: 256 MB RAM is the low end.... that's why it's so slow. you might consider a RAM upgrade or going for xubuntu. The Live CD-installer might die from lack of RAM, so i'd use the alternat CD anyway
[07:38] <bill__> hak5fan, that's what i hear ...
[07:38] <PureEvilGeek> hak5fan: yes 1.0 has been released which is very stable
[07:38] <Dragon64> hak5fan......yes
[07:39] <Duende> I need a wireless usb card for ubuntu, any sugestions?
[07:39] <PureEvilGeek> stefg: xubuntu is ?
[07:39] <hak5fan> and it doesn't mess up accsess rights of other files allready on the disk?
[07:39] <PureEvilGeek> just a different installer or more?
[07:39] <LjL> !xubuntu
[07:39] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels

[07:40] <PureEvilGeek> oh. na i'm not changing from gnome since i'm use to it. i will just use xp which runs fine
[07:40] <bill__> PureEvilGeek, xfce is a lighter-weight window manager that uses less memory than gnome

[07:40] <bill__> PureEvilGeek, xfce is very similar to gnome
[07:40] <Duende> thanks pike, any sugestion on a good choice?
[07:41] <PureEvilGeek> bill__: thats alright. my luck it will be just enough different that i'll get frustrated.

[07:49] <_tom__> hi, when I run gparted, my whole system crashes. I am using ubuntu feisty. My system doesn't crash when I use it from the livecd
[07:50] <Rageon> hey can anyone tell me how to speed up the gnome panel autohide?
[07:50] <bladefistx2> !info gvpndialer
[07:50] <ubotu> Package gvpndialer does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> tarelerulz some of the vncserver servers dont setup/run a desktop proplery. It dosent connect? or you get a blank screen? Check the vncserver logs (in .vnc) check to see whats its running also. you may need to set it to run a desktop manually
[07:51] <_tom__> i just copied my main partition over and changed grub to boot to it, but now, when I try to run gparted, first, I cant see any more processes or create new ones, then I basically have to hit ctrl+alt+del
[07:52] <Kurlon> Afternoon all.
[07:52] <l1nuxpwn4g3> Hello
[07:52] <bladefistx2> it's nightime
[07:52] <bladefistx2> hehe
[07:52] <l1nuxpwn4g3> 2:00 PM over here.
[07:52] <dwxreaper> uh, i added some memory and now all the stuff i downloaded, and services i installed are gone!

[07:53] <Pici> dwxreaper: Are you running off the Live CD?
[07:53] <l1nuxpwn4g3> I can't get Ubuntu to run on my machine.
[07:53] <tarelerulz> Dr_Willis , You want to see what it outs on the host side ?
[07:54] <_tom__> ri think i may have found a bug in gnome parted
[07:54] <Znortfl> My apache server keeps offering php files for download instead of processing them! What should I do?
[07:54] <sbn> Any one in here who has a Realtek RTL8187B ? Mine doesn't seem to work out-of-the-box
[07:54] <_tom__> because regular parted doesn't do anything strange
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> tarelerulz i am gone for work in.... 4 min.. so i cant help much more.
[07:54] <cyph3x> hmm weird
[07:54] <Till__> hey how can i save mms:// links/files to my pc? anny programm or had something an idea?
[07:55] <tarelerulz> Dr_Willis ,  That is cool. You have helped me in the past alot so it is all good.
[07:55] <cyph3x> my wireless randomly decides to not pickup any wifi connections.. any ideas?
[07:56] <_tom__> do you have a good card
[07:56] <cyph3x> i have an Atheros that comes standard with the lenovo z line
[07:56] <_tom__> i have an atheros card too, its flaky
[07:56] <cyph3x> dah
[07:56] <_tom__> if you are conected, what is the strength like
[07:56] <cyph3x> weak
[07:57] <marx2k> my Atheros connection is usually weak too
[07:57] <ajisin> how to install .dmg files in ubuntu
[07:57] <_tom__> maybe a better antenna?
[07:57] <_tom__> (or better atheros drivers, i wish)
[07:57] <cyph3x> im thinking ill just get a pcm wifi card
[07:57] <marx2k> Atheros drivers seem to be underpowering the atheros card or something :(
[07:57] <sahil> how do i mount an ISO in Ubutnu?
[07:57] <hwilde> I just added dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf    how can I make those settings take effect?    I did /etc/init.d/networking restart   and it did not help
[07:57] <_tom__> yeah, definitely
[07:57] <cyph3x> lame
[07:58] <[nrx] > !iso | sahil
[07:58] <ubotu> sahil: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[07:58] <cyph3x> sahil that was impressive

[07:58] <ajisin> how to install .dmg files in ubuntu
[07:58] <cyph3x> oh ha
[07:58] <cyph3x> nvm
[07:58] <hwilde> !ubotu | cyph3x

[07:58] <_tom__> hwilde usually when i add something to resolv.conf it immediately changes.. why do you believe that your computer doesn't know what dns server you're using?
[07:58] <ajisin> how to install .dmg files in ubuntu
[07:58] <CoasterMaster> ajisin, .dmg files are for Mac OS X
[07:59] <sahil> cyp3x, wha was impressive?
[07:59] <hwilde> _tom__, because I can ping the ip but not the hostname?
[07:59] <Stormx2> test
[07:59] <Stormx2> Hm.
[07:59] <cyph3x> the uber fast response heh
[07:59] <ajisin> oops
[07:59] <ErikHK> I asked before if I could resize the root partition (/), and swap, I successfully resized the swap with gparted (thanks ubotu), but I obviously couldn't change the size of /, since it was mounted, is it even possible? Do I have to use a live CD? In that case, how?
[07:59] <_tom__> well, you added your dns servers, and you cant use the hostname, but by hostname, do you mean fully qualified domain name?
[08:00] <_tom__> or is it a local dns
[08:00] <Rageon> whats ubuntus version of metacity?
[08:00] <sbn> Any one who has expiernces with setting up a Realtek RTL8187B ?
[08:00] <marx2k> Rageon: metacity :)
[08:00] <Rageon> sweet :)
[08:00] <hwilde> _tom__, I mean that I can ping <IP_ADDRESS> directly, and I can ping the dns server <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>, but I cannot ping the hostname mail.memorialsb.org by hostname which is IP  <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:00] <cyph3x> whats metacity?
[08:01] <hwilde> _tom__, so I edited /etc/resolv.conf and added those two dns servers, and then /etc/init.d/networking restart,  but I still cannot ping via hostname
[08:01] <Rageon> *hold back obscene remark
[08:01] <MasterShrek> hwilde, /etc/hosts
[08:01] <marx2k> :D
[08:02] <MasterShrek> cyph3x, its the window manager that gnome uses
[08:02] <hwilde> MasterShrek, what about /etc/hosts ?
[08:02] <cyph3x> ahh
[08:02] <_tom__> hwilde: this dns server is on your local network?
[08:02] <hwilde> _tom__, yes I guess so.  I can ping the dns servers
[08:02] <MasterShrek> hwilde, at the top, put the ip followed by the hostname
[08:02] <_tom__> hwilde: well are you sure the dns server is configured properly? or is it someone else's business to do that
[08:03] <marx2k> !metacity
[08:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:03] <marx2k> wow
[08:03] <MasterShrek> !info metacity
[08:03] <_tom__> because i am about stumped
[08:03] <ubotu> metacity: A lightweight GTK2 based Window Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.18.2-0ubuntu1.1 (feisty), package size 397 kB, installed size 784 kB
[08:04] <marx2k> WHat does KDE use for a window manager?
[08:04] <[nrx] > X?
[08:04] <marx2k> I think its KWin

[08:04] <MasterShrek> kwm i think
[08:04] <marx2k> yeo
[08:04] <hwilde> _tom__, it is someone else's business, but it's a massive domain, so I am sure it is correct.
[08:04] <MasterShrek> or kwin i spose
[08:04] <marx2k> err yep
[08:05] <hwilde> _tom__, it is like it is not reloading /etc/resolv.conf
[08:05] <sahil> cyph3, is there a way to mount an image with a program, and without having to type out all the code
[08:05] <marx2k> I seem to have fallen in love with KDE over Gnome
[08:05] <marx2k> sahil: /etc/fstab is the config file for that
[08:06] <MasterShrek> sahil, no, you need root privileges
[08:06] <sahil> argh
[08:06] <MasterShrek> dont put that in /etc/fstab
[08:06] <sahil> thanx
[08:06] <sahil> ???
[08:06] <bruenig> security reasons
[08:06] <sahil> oh ok
[08:06] <MasterShrek> only put things in /etc/fstab that you want mounted every time you boot
[08:06] <marx2k> oh I thought he asked what was the config for mounting images
[08:06] <marx2k> images/drives
[08:06] <bruenig> he means mounting isos and such on occasion I assume, not always
[08:07] <bruenig> you can write scripts to do it and set up sudoer exceptions if you want

[08:07] <bruenig> yeah but that requires a password
[08:07] <sahil> thanx marx2k
[08:07] <marx2k> no problem

[08:10] <faust_> Hey guys. Got a slight problem here. Installed Ubuntu for the first time after changing from ATi to nVidia today, and I can't seem to find the nvidia card anywhere. Up and running, graphics displaying, it's just that when I go to Restricted Drivers Manager to get the real juice going, it just says "Your computer does not need restricted drivers" and quits.
[08:10] <faust_> Thinking the card isn't detected right or something.
[08:10] <faust_> In my recently ditched gentoo install, xorg just detected it as "unknown device"
[08:10] <faust_> Can't find a decent nvidia howto for Feisty either, since they all say use the restricted driver manager..
[08:10] <MasterShrek> faust_, i think u have to apt-get install nvidia-glx
[08:11] <faust_> MasterShrek, those are the proprietary drivers, or the opensource ones?
[08:11] <marx2k> faust: type in terminal "lspci | grep VGA" and give me the output
[08:11] <Ax-Ax>  Nu har vi hrdare regler mot spam ocks, s passa dig!!
[08:11] <MasterShrek> either that or install the driver from nvidias website
[08:11] <MasterShrek> im not sure faust_ i use the ones from nvidia's site
[08:11] <faust_> marx2k: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0400 (rev a1)
[08:11] <FFighter> Hey, is there something like AutoHotKey for linux ?
[08:12] <marx2k> faust: update your pci listing
[08:12] <marx2k> I forgot how to do that though
[08:12] <bogor> faust: they are proprietery packaged for ur convinence
[08:12] <Montaro> Can anyone assist in configuring xorg on ubuntu to display *ONLY* on a tv (via s-video) on an S3 Savage3D card? I've tried every combination of xorg.conf I can think of and its still not working :(
[08:12] <Sander_NL> hallo
[08:12] <Montaro> Or should I ask in an xorg orientated channel more so than ubuntu?
[08:12] <Znortfl> Anybody a solution to the problem: apache keeps offering php files for download. What am I doing wrong?
[08:13] <faust_> Thanks guys :D
[08:13] <Kurlon> Ok, so 'Hardware Information' picks up on this Dell's CS4237B sound card, but I'll be damned if I can coax the module to load.
[08:13] <Lattyware> Anyone know if there are Linux drivers for using the xbox 360 wireless controller and wireless headset with the Wireless gaming receiver?
[08:13] <bogor> Znortfl: do you have php modules for httpd installed
[08:13] <faust_> marx2k, think I found it. update-pciids?
[08:13] <Znortfl> bogor: I think so. How can I check that?
[08:14] <marx2k> faust: you got it
[08:14] <marx2k> sudo update-pciids
[08:14] <faust_> Definately. Reads "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GTS (rev a1)" now. :D
[08:14] <MasterShrek> Lattyware, i dont think so for 360, but the kernel does have a driver for the regular xbox controller
[08:14] <marx2k> :)
[08:14] <Lattyware> MasterShrek: Yeah, know about that, just wondering if the 360 stuff was done.
[08:14] <bogor> Znortfl: look for or grep for php in the section that contains lots of loadmodules in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[08:15] <MasterShrek> i dunno, it would be worth a google search i spose
[08:15] <faust_> Still says "Your hardware does not need restricted drivers" though, so I think I'll go the manual route from here. Thanks anyway :D
[08:15] <faust_> Back soon to ask more if this doesn't work :D
[08:15] <bogor> Znortfl: i am sure of the path. But file would be named http.conf
[08:15] <CoasterMaster> !iso
[08:15] <bogor> Znortfl: sorry httpd.conf
[08:15] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[08:15] <Moodles> i put a new drive (sata) in my linux machine recently, and ive rebooted fine afew times with it in.. it now gets stuck initializing the new drive.. afterawhile i get a prompt saying /dev/sda2 doesnt exist (where ubuntu is installed)
[08:16] <[nrx] > ./etc/httpd/httpd.conf
[08:16] <[nrx] > usually
[08:16] <Znortfl> bogor: I dont seem to have a /etc/httpd directory
[08:16] <Moodles> the new drive is fine, i put it in my main machine and its working perfectly
[08:16] <Whitor> I'm looking to enable the cube-atlantis plugin... The info I've found on how to enable that feature simply says to install the Compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package. Well, I've done this but I still see no cube-atlantis plugin available in ccsm :(
[08:16] <[nrx] > try "locate httpd.conf"
[08:16] <Montaro> Znortfl, it would be apache2.conf and in /etc/apache2/
[08:16] <[nrx] > ah yeah
[08:16] <[nrx] > sorry, forgot, ubuntu ;p
[08:17] <MasterShrek> Moodles, when does that prompt come up? right after grub?
[08:17] <Znortfl> Montaro, bogor: the *.load and  *.conf files in mods-enabled are included
[08:17] <marx2k> Whitor: restart ccsm possibly?
[08:17] <marx2k> or rather restart compiz?
[08:18] <Whitor> marx2k: Nope... did a reboot to be safe
[08:18] <Montaro> Znortfl, ideally you should just do: a2enmod php5
[08:18] <Moodles> MasterShrek: grubs loads fine, its about 30 seconds into loading when it halts.. and then about 3 minutes later i get the prompt
[08:18] <Pici> !effects
[08:18] <shiner> hi
[08:18] <bogor> Znortfl: Is there a php directive in apache2.conf
[08:18] <ubotu> For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[08:18] <Znortfl> Montaro: "This module is already enabled"
[08:18] <Montaro> Znortfl, dpkg-reconfigure it
[08:18] <bogor> Znortfl:, BTW, how did you install php
[08:19] <Whitor> No one is alive in #ubuntu-effects ... thats why I'm asking here
[08:19] <falstaff> Can somebody check this: Open CompizConfig, Cube rotation (in german Wrfel drehen) set screencorner bottomleft for turn left and bottom right for turn right
[08:19] <Znortfl> bogor: it includes a php.load file which refers to libphp5.so
[08:19] <falstaff> for me it does not work!
[08:19] <PriceChild> Whitor, not an excuse
[08:19] <PriceChild> !patience | Whitor
[08:19] <shiner> could anyone help me: i need to get the uuid from my 2nd partition. I googled already but it didnt work on my ubuntu.
[08:19] <Znortfl> bogor: I installed apache2, php5, and libapache2-mod-php5
[08:19] <Pici> !uuid | shiner
[08:19] <ubuntu> hi, anybody can help me?
[08:19] <MasterShrek> Moodles, if i had to guess id say its not loading the sata drivers at boot, dont ask me why, or how to fix it but that may be something to look into
[08:19] <ubotu> Whitor: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[08:19] <marx2k> shiner: why not just use literal /dev/* labels?
[08:19] <ubotu> shiner: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  sudo blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:19] <soothsayer> What features does the medibuntu ffmpeg package have that are not present in the official version?
[08:20] <PriceChild> soothsayer, plays more codecs, that can not be distributed with ubuntu for legal reasons
[08:20] <shiner> marx2k: didn does his job :(
[08:20] <Q_Continuum> Keyring Manager password (I forgot it) any way I can brute-force it with a keyword list?
[08:20] <bogor> Znortfl: Was it through apt-get or synaptic or deb or tar.gz or how ?
[08:20] <Znortfl> bogor: through apt-get
[08:20] <soothsayer> PriceChild: For example? Are the differences listed or documented anywhere?
[08:20] <Moodles> when i disconnect the drive, the machine boots like normal
[08:20] <ubuntu> i was upgrading my ubuntu sistem but when i reboot the PC, the system can't start the grub because it have an Error 35 or similar...
[08:20] <Znortfl> bogor: Now I cant reload apache. It complains about not being able to bind an address
[08:20] <marx2k> shiner: I still dont get the rationale behind UUID
[08:21] <PriceChild> soothsayer, can't say off hand sorry, if you get the source for the medibuntu, you can see the build time options in debian/rules
[08:21] <jimmacdonald> can I just say that the people who develop Wine are A$$holes.
[08:21] <Znortfl> bogor: "No listening sockets available. Shutting down"
[08:21] <Whitor> Yes yes, I know all this. I am patient. I was simply stating that I had already asked in #ubuntu-effects. No need to bash me for asking a question
[08:21] <shiner> i need it for my fstab
[08:21] <soothsayer> PriceChild: Okay I will take a look
[08:21] <marx2k> shiner: yeah but I dont see the advantage of using UUID over the old /dev/* method
[08:21] <shiner> marx2k: sudo blkid did his job :)
[08:21] <ubuntu> now I am on a livecd
