[06:48] <Charitwo> Mecha25: #ubuntu-ops
[06:48] <wirenik> sorry... I thought that's what it's for?
[06:48] <Charitwo> wirenik: should have pointed him to that channel :)

[06:50] <Charitwo> Jakob_the_liar: of course not
[06:51] <Mecha25> wrenik: no, I was talking about myself
[06:51] <wirenik> wirenik: Oh, ok.
[06:51] <Mecha25> usually pointing ops at somebody with a pipe means they need to be kicked
[06:51] <lwizardl> if i wanted to setup separate partitions for each section on my hard drive what sizes should i keep for each type? for example /swap i was going to set it as 500mb, but what about /root and /etc ?
[06:52] <Mecha25> which is why I was asking for another way to contact them than using that
[06:52] <wirenik> Mecha25: Oh, God.

[07:14] <regeya> Mecha25: heh, back when I got my wife a laptop for christmas which has 1GB, well, it shipped with vista, it ran dog-slow, the recommendation rom the company was to buy another gig of ram.  nowadays it runs xubuntu, and that amount of ram seems to be more than fine. :->
[07:15] <Mecha25> regeya: I'm dual booting vista fine... but it took 3 months of work to slim it down to where it is now, but now it runs almost as fast as Ubuntu
[07:15] <alokito> Wolf23: Do you see the blue screen of XP installation?
[07:15] <Wolf23> alokito:  yes
[07:15] <alokito> press R in that screen

[07:56] <acrousey> or is there a ubuntu friendly movie editor out there?
[07:56] <bigdiskool> alokito: yes
[07:56] <alokito> then, you need a Normal XP cd, not acer specialized cd
[07:56] <brophat> danbhfive after the install should I run mplayer again?
[07:56] <alokito> anyway your vbox is fine now, it can boot operating systems and install them :)
[07:57] <danbhfive> brophat: no, totem
[07:57] <Wolf23> alokito yes format quick works
[07:57] <alokito> Wolf23: okay, thats great
[07:58] <bigdiskool> alokito: that sucks balls..now it doesn't recognize that my machine is acer?
[07:58] <danbhfive> brophat: are you using ubuntu?
[07:58] <Wolf23> alokito   wait if copies files is working fine or not/
[07:58] <bazhang> bigdiskool, please watch the language
[07:58] <alokito> bigdiskool: Lol, no its not suppossed to recognize
[07:58] <azn_emo_boi101> sup
[07:58] <alokito> virtualbox creates a totally different virtual pc from ur machine
[07:59] <HRshovinstuff> I have a classic problem:  I Dual boot with WINblows in my GRUB startup menu, winblows phailed and i had to reinstall.  So of course it takes over my master boot record.  Is there anyway to restore GRUB without totally boneing my current Ubuntu install??   I've tried googling to no avail.....thus i am here asking for help from the community.
[07:59] <brophat> danbhfive yes
[07:59] <azn_emo_boi101> How can you connect to a pc behind a router?
[07:59] <bigdiskool> well then why do they make an acer specialized cd thats gay!
[07:59] <Flannel> azn_emo_boi101: port forwarding on the router
[07:59] <azn_emo_boi101> !grub
[07:59] <azn_emo_boi101> Flannel: Que?
[07:59] <azn_emo_boi101> Mine or theirs?
[07:59] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: because Microsoft wanted it that way.  Prevent piracy
[08:00] <Flannel> azn_emo_boi101: the connectee.
[08:00] <azn_emo_boi101> bigdiskool: Certain CD's contain system specific drivers
[08:00] <azn_emo_boi101> flannel: That's the only way>
[08:00] <azn_emo_boi101> ?
[08:00] <azn_emo_boi101> And how do I set that up?
[08:00] <bigdiskool> danbhfive: ya but this isn't piracy...im on an acer laptop with its origonal cd
[08:00] <Flannel> azn_emo_boi101: All you can do is connect from your PC to their IP, which would be the router unless its forwarding it on to their PC
[08:00] <bigdiskool> im just going through a different channel
[08:01] <azn_emo_boi101> What happens if I connect to the router though?
[08:01] <Flannel> azn_emo_boi101: Usually you log in to the router's admin thing through the web.
[08:01] <azn_emo_boi101> That wouldn
[08:01] <azn_emo_boi101> 't be their comp.
[08:01] <azn_emo_boi101> Oh, one of those. I don't know my router's IP.
[08:01] <bazhang> azn_emo_boi101, your router or someone else's
[08:01] <Flannel> azn_emo_boi101: its probably x.x.x.1, it should be the same as your gateway's IP
[08:01] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: yes, but you are installing in a virtual machine right?  VMs will show up as a generic computer, and hence fail to be an acer laptop
[08:01] <azn_emo_boi101> Aye
[08:01] <Kartagis> how to work around that icq bug? do i need to upgrade pidgin?
[08:02] <azn_emo_boi101> I have Satellite internet, so I have my router and my satelite box. My box is <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:02] <alokito> agreed with danbhfive
[08:02] <bigdiskool> danbhfive: that really pisses me off...do u know if that can b fixeD?
[08:02] <alokito> bigdiskool: I dont think it can be fixed
[08:02] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: pirate a copy of windows?
[08:02] <FuRom1> Is there a linux alternative to using IECapt.exe (http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/) for generating website screenshots automatically?
[08:02] <bigdiskool> or...maybe it would work if i just did ubuntu virtually through xp?
[08:02] <brophat> danbhfive damn that thing is installing everything but the kitchen sink hahaha
[08:02] <alokito> bigdiskool: yes that will work
[08:03] <catalepsic> i am running a pirate opy of xp on virtualbox
[08:03] <danbhfive> brophat: what thing?
[08:03] <bigdiskool> can i use virtualbox on xp?
[08:03] <bazhang> danbhfive, dont suggest that here
[08:03] <brophat> danbhfive that apt-get
[08:03] <bazhang> bigdiskool, sure you can do it that way
[08:03] <Kartagis> bigdiskool, sure
[08:03] <alokito> bigdiskool: yes theres is xp version of virtualbox
[08:03] <alokito> you can find in vbox site
[08:03] <bigdiskool> HI5 GUYS!! WoooHOO!
[08:03] <danbhfive> brophat: ah, yes, it gets all the restricted formats, etc
[08:03] <bigdiskool> ^.^
[08:04] <azn_emo_boi101> bigdiskool: cough cough bittorrent cough
[08:04] <Kartagis> FuRom1, browsershots.org
[08:04] <bigdiskool> but that means....ill have to abandon all my work on this session of ubuntu :(
[08:04] <bazhang> azn_emo_boi101, dont suggest that here.
[08:04] <__machine> how can i create a user account on ubuntu and give if jailed / chrooted sftp access only?
[08:04] <alokito> azn_emo_boi101: say in pm message ;)
[08:04] <bigdiskool> azn_emo_boi: wat??
[08:05] <BlearyBram> hi, since reinstallation of the US, whenever I've tried to start things with Java, the whole X Server frozen.
[08:05] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: you might be able to ask acer for a regular copy of windows
[08:05] <bigdiskool> are u hinting at something?
[08:05] <azn_emo_boi101> sorry all
[08:05] <brophat> danbhfive it finished but I don't see totem listed
[08:05] <bazhang> !piracy
[08:05] <azn_emo_boi101> To find virtualbox!
[08:05] <azn_emo_boi101> I never said for windows..
[08:05] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: I know you can do that if they never sent you the disk
[08:05] <BlearyBram> that also includes, odd enough, OpenOffice.org recovery.
[08:05] <azn_emo_boi101> But anyways, sorry all
[08:05] <bigdiskool> danbhfive: are u talking about the system disk?
[08:06] <danbhfive> brophat: totem is the default media player on ubuntu, but forget that, just try the file
[08:06] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: a windows install disk
[08:06] <bigdiskool> ya i have the disk...it came with two recovery cd's and one system cd...so do u think they'd get me an origonal?
[08:07] <sklyar> hi
[08:07] <bigdiskool> if i happened to maybe...accidentally loose the others...somehow
[08:07] <bigdiskool> ^>^
[08:07] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: like I said, you will have to ask to find out, I only know if they did NOT send you the disk, then they have to
[08:07] <sklyar> somebody can handle fan(coller) speed?
[08:08] <bazhang> bigdiskool, please chat elsewhere; you can get virtual box at their site.
[08:08] <FuRom1> Kartagis, that's not what I'm in need of. I need the web page's screen shot, not the browser's. IECapt gets the entire web site. From getting the entire website, I can actually do more. I need something that runs natively in linux. It's for a website that I'm making.
[08:08] <bigdiskool> bazhang: are u hatin on me?
[08:08] <alokito> bigdiskool: no, we are trying to show you the right location to fix your problem
[08:09] <danbhfive> bigdiskool: bazhang is just trying to keep this room to Ubuntu support, which is what this room is supposed to be
[08:09] <alokito> now you have problem with your xp cd, thats not related with ubuntu
[08:09] <alokito> so we have nothing to do here, sorry
[08:09] <bigdiskool> ok i get it...ill shut up now >.>
[08:09] <Wolf23> alokito:  till now it copies all files completely and after restart it shows a black screen, windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windowsystem32\config\system
[08:10] <alokito> Wolf23: please join the #windows channel
[08:10] <brophat> danbhfive nope does not play it
[08:10] <bigdiskool> but...i still want to say..thanx guys for ur support u guys know ur shit
[08:10] <Dillo_of_Faeo> hey all

[08:11] <fenrisx> I have a problem. :(  I just hooked my computer up to my TV using a DVI to HDMI cable.  Ubuntu has the resolution set to 1280x720 (720p), my TV is 720p.. but it's 1366x768.  For some reason the 1280x720 resolution doesn't fit my TV screen properly. All of the edges are cut off some.. top, bottom, left, and right.
[08:11] <bigdiskool> just one last question...do u think it would be better to run ubuntu or xp as a virtual?
[08:11] <fenrisx> Anyone know what the deal is with that?  Why it's too big for my screen.
[08:12] <alokito> bigdiskool: I prefer virtual XP in Ubuntu
[08:12] <veen> Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working on the GRUB menu or during boot-up?
[08:12] <bigdiskool> alokito: how did u achieve that? :( im jealous
[08:12] <bigdiskool> u must have a regular cd
[08:12] <fenrisx> veen, not to go off topic here.. but how do you get to the GRUB menu?
[08:12] <soulchild> Hi all
[08:12] <soulchild> Is there an applet or something to control cpufreqd or powernowd ?
[08:12] <alokito> bigdiskool: yes normal cd
[08:13] <alokito> not for any laptop
[08:13] <bigdiskool> oooo wait!...
[08:13] <veen> fenrisx, well that's just the thing I can't get to it...sorry if I was misleading there
[08:13] <Dillo_of_Faeo> Sound Problems-- why/how would ALSA or JACK mess things up.  Viewing flash video online causes a freeze on my comp. There are other bugs, too.  Any help?
[08:13] <bigdiskool> i just realized i have xp home on my desktop..it might b a reg cd :O
[08:14] <bigdiskool> so ur saying all laptop system cd's are specialized?
[08:14] <alokito> bigdiskool: not all
[08:15] <geev> my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script any body knows
[08:15] <yaris123456789> how do i find out the directory i am currently in ? the full dir address ?
[08:15] <Flannel> yaris123456789: pwd
[08:15] <yaris123456789> thx
[08:15] <siner> hi
[08:15] <bigdiskool> so does xp run smoother as a virtual do u think?
[08:16] <Dillo_of_Faeo> hey siner
[08:16] <bigdiskool> alokito: what kindof a laptop u use?
[08:17] <alokito> I use a desktop
[08:17] <geev> my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script any body knows
[08:18] <Flannel> geev: What isn't working/what do you need help with?
[08:19] <geev> Flannel, 20 11 * * * /home/others/synch.sh
[08:19] <Rat409>  /part
[08:19] <Rat409> whoops
[08:19] <_numbers_> Fail
[08:20] <geev> Flannel, i set it like that but when time reach and pass no effect
[08:22] <Flannel> geev: and that script runs fine normally?  do you have a carriage return at the end of the line in your crontab?
[08:22] <geev> Flannel, the synch script is used to synchronize files from two different folders by using Unison
[08:22] <_numbers_> when i use my bigscreen im missing an inch or more of the screen on the right hand side when i watch a movie. is there a way to fix this ??
[08:22] <moDumass> hey all, once again im in a pickle, my user profile has run out of space, which is random since im the only user and i have space on the hdd
[08:22] <geev> Flannel, yap when i execute manual it do my job fine
[08:22] <jepp> does anyone play bygfoot?
[08:22] <veen> Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working during boot-up - like to boot from CD, access the bios or GRUB menu?
[08:23] <geev> Flannel, sorry what do you mean do you have a carriage return at the end of the line in your crontab?
[08:23] <jepp> does anyone play bygfoot?
[08:24] <Flannel> geev: You need to make sure you have a blank line at the end of your crontab file
[08:24] <Flannel> jepp: I think thats a no.
[08:24] <jepp> sry, wrong chat
[08:24] <jepp> ^^
[08:24] <Ademan> anyone know what /po in a source tarball is for?
[08:24] <_numbers_> it only does it when i watch a movie tho, other than that its fine
[08:25] <moDumass> hmm, ok, so my main question is how do i increase the size of my homeDir?
[08:25]  * _numbers_ throws his pc out the windows.
[08:26] <Flannel> moDumass: Increase the size of the partition that its on
[08:26] <moDumass> Flannel, this is the random thing, i think its partition is 160 gigs
[08:26] <moDumass> and there is no way ive used 160gigs for anything in linux
[08:27] <Flannel> moDumass: df -h
[08:27] <veen> Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working during boot-up - like to boot from CD, access the bios or GRUB menu?
[08:28] <geev> Flannel, # m h  dom mon dow   command PATH=/home/others: 20 11 * * * /home/others/synch.sh
[08:28] <moDumass> flannel what am i lookin for?
[08:28] <Flannel> moDumass: If you want, you can pastebin it, and I'll take a look
[08:29] <_numbers_> http://www.opensourcefood.com/
[08:29] <_numbers_> XD
[08:29] <bazhang> _numbers_, what is that
[08:29] <_numbers_> open source food lmao
[08:29] <moDumass> flannel its cool, /dev/sbd2 27gig used 26gig available 0 use% 100%
[08:29] <bazhang> _numbers_, dont paste that here.
[08:29] <moDumass> so the partition is 27gigs
[08:30] <geev> Flannel, that is my entire crontab may be i dont understand to what your wringing do you mean at the end of list line i hav to place enter for new line?
[08:30] <FuRom> I'm having problems when I try to install mozilla in the synaptic package manager. I get "could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade"
[08:30] <Flannel> geev: Yeah
[08:30] <tayfun> hey p
[08:31] <tayfun> hey someone know how can i install a radio on my ubuntu?
[08:31] <moDumass> gparted is doin its thang
[08:31] <tayfun> can someone tell me a good radio software name?
[08:31] <lalalla> anybody here has seen bash.org?
[08:32] <barbarella> tayfun:gradio
[08:32] <Flannel> lalalla: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:32] <bazhang> !ot | lalalla
[08:32] <lalalla> ok Flannel
[08:33] <moDumass> thsi is crap, i dont have any other free love on the hdd that has ubuntu installed on it
[08:34] <Flannel> moDumass: You could shrink your root partition, I'm sure its not full, if youve got a 160GB
[08:34] <moDumass> Flannel, no its windows
[08:34] <moDumass> arghh
[08:34] <moDumass> that blows
[08:35] <moDumass> flannel, dualbooting with windows, man id delete it if i didnt think at least one day im going to have to use it for some microsoft only crap
[08:35] <veen> Can anyone fix a problem with a USB Keyboard not working during boot-up - like to boot from CD, access the bios or GRUB menu?
[08:35] <Flannel> moDumass: You could shrink them, assuming empty space
[08:36] <Kartagis> how to work around that icq bug? do i need to upgrade pidgin?
[08:36] <Flannel> Kartagis: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:37] <akhil_> I want people to access some files on my windows drive through ftp.. Is there any way to do it without copying the files?? I tried mount -- bind but it does not work
[08:37] <Kartagis> Flannel, 8.04
[08:39] <mifritscher> hi
[08:39] <mifritscher> how stable is intrepid atm?
[08:39] <Flannel> mifritscher: Its alpha software
[08:39] <TwoD>    akhil_ why can't you just enter the path to the windows drive in the ftp server config?
[08:39] <mifritscher> Flannel: is it usable atm or does it still have big bugs?
[08:40] <Flannel> Kartagis: Are you completely up to date?  with pidgin 2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1?
[08:40] <Flannel> mifritscher: It's alpha software.  Alpha software means you use it if you know what you're doing, and don't mind stuff breaking all the time.
[08:40] <akhil_> TwoD, Wouldnt tat mean i have to keep all my files there??
[08:40] <moDumass> if a dir doesnt shw in /media does that mean im most prob installed in that dir?
[08:41] <Flannel> mifritscher: You can get actual answers in #ubuntu+1 though.  Its semi-frozen at the moment, so it might be stabilizing.
[08:41] <Kartagis> Flannel, now I am
[08:41] <TwoD> akhil_, I'm not sure what you mean by "where".
[08:41] <TwoD> akhil_, sorry, "there" hehe
[08:41] <Flannel> Kartagis: Do you still have the icq problems?  (Is this a new ICQ bug?)
[08:42] <Kartagis> Flannel, let me see
[08:42] <akhil_> TwoD, Windows drive :)
[08:42] <dabbu> how to mount a ext3 filesystem with rW permission by editing the fstab file
[08:42] <Kartagis> Flannel, it says client version is too old
[08:42] <Kartagis> i thought that was a bug
[08:43] <moDumass> Flannel , in disk usage analyser it says 50% of my filesystem is used
[08:43] <akhil_> What i am looking for is some option by which i can add folders at different locations on my FTP without actually copying them to the /home/ftp folder
[08:43] <Kartagis> 2.4.3 is not in repos yet?
[08:43] <Flannel> Kartagis: Hmm, that's odd.  That was fixed.  I'd check out launchpad, file a bug if one isn't already there
[08:43] <moDumass> i cant figure out how to increase the partition size without breaking my windows or linux dirs
[08:43] <moDumass> or installs really
[08:43] <TwoD> akhil_, you don't have to keep anything there that you don't want to, why'd you think that?
[08:45] <akhil_> I dont want to keep all that i want to be shared in the same folder... Rather i dont have much space left on my lnux filesystem to copy the entire thing.. and i can't either shift my ftp folder to windows drive as there are many files on linux FS which also must be shared..
[08:46] <moDumass> Flannel http://pastebin.com/d710e3095 that is the output
[08:46] <Flannel> Kartagis: if you have 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1, ICQ should be fixed
[08:46] <Kartagis> Flannel, when will 2.4.3 be in the repos?
[08:46] <Kartagis> Flannel, I have that
[08:47] <TwoD> akhil_, make a soft symlink to the folder on your Windows drive from the shared FTP folder then.
[08:47] <kippy> Hey guys anyone knows about good blogging clients for linux? something like windows live writer?
[08:47] <geev> my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows
[08:47] <Flannel> Kartagis: "2.4.3" won't ever be in Hardy, but bugfixes are put into the older version.  Like that one.  Are you sure oyou have that package version? if so, file a bug report, since its obviously not fixed.
[08:47] <bazhang> kippy, blogfire; its a ff plugin
[08:47] <Gin> how do I know if my version of mplayer has dvd menu supoprt or not?
[08:48] <Flannel> moDumass: Shrink sdb5
[08:48] <mifritscher> how is the program called which traces all calls from a program?
[08:48] <TwoD> Gin, I think so, as long as you've got general dvd support installed
[08:48] <kippy> bazhang, nothing standalone? I dont use FF much
[08:48] <Kartagis> Flannel, oh, I'm online now
[08:49] <Gin> TwoD, nope, the verison you install from repo does not have dvdmenu support
[08:49] <Kartagis> Flannel, how can I get skype? do i need to compile it manually?
[08:49] <bboschman> Hi
[08:49] <Flannel> !skype | Kartagis
[08:49] <bboschman> how do I figure out which ubuntu version I'm running?
[08:49] <Flannel> Kartagis: skype isn't open source, you can't compile it.
[08:49] <Flannel> bboschman: lsb_release -a
[08:49] <moDumass> Flannel, can i do that without breaking it, like how do i tell if im overwriting stuff?
[08:49] <bboschman> thanks
[08:50] <TwoD> Gin, hang on and I'll check if mine works
[08:50] <Flannel> moDumass: gparted knows how to massage partitions just fine.
[08:50] <xnv> So if I'm an idiot and remove the 'root' entry from my /etc/passwd to try and reset it, is there a way undo the damage from a user account? (sudo = "sudo: no passwd entry for root!") If not, I'll just use a LiveCD.
[08:50] <geev> my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows
[08:50] <moDumass> yeh its cool, thanks Flannel, i think i have to unmoiunt to shrink
[08:50] <Flannel> xnv: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB)
[08:50] <moDumass> just didnt pay attention
 i dont have the option to resize sbd5
[08:51] <moDumass> sorry sdb5
[08:52] <Slart> xnv: just boot from a live cd, restore the line and you'll be back in business
[08:52] <Flannel> moDumass: You'll need to use a liveCD
[08:52] <moDumass> okapi14, so make a live cd with gparted, ok, cool, thanks
[08:52] <Slart> xnv: or recovery console, as Flannel said..
[08:52] <mduara> my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows
[08:52] <xnv> Flannel, Slart: Yes, I know. My question was if there was a way to do it from a user account (so I don't have to reboot).
[08:52] <Slart> xnv: not that I know of
[08:52] <Flannel> xnv: Not if you can't sudo, no.
[08:52] <barried> Anyone here using a TV WinFast tuner card in Ubuntu?
[08:53] <xnv> Slart, Flannel: Alright. Back later then. :)
[08:53] <Slart> mduara: pastebin your crontab and we'll take a look
[08:53] <Slart> !paste | mduara
[08:54] <mduara> Slart, # m h  dom mon dow   command PATH=/home/others: 20 11 * * * /home/others/synch.sh
[08:55] <Slart> mduara: so it's supposed to run at 11.20 every day?
[08:56] <Slart> mduara: I suppose synch.sh is marked as executable with proper permissions?
[08:56] <mduara> Slart, that i what i set tu run when i was testing it
[08:56] <mduara> Slart, yes
[08:56] <Slart> mduara: what is the "PATH=/home/others: " part for?
[08:57] <mduara> Slart i chmod 755 synch
[08:57] <mduara> Slart for my script file synch
[08:57] <wers> i am on an eee pc 701. since the screen is small, some windows dont fit. an app like the compizconfig doesnt fit the screen and behaves weirdly. i drag the window up while pressing alt but the upper panel doesnt let me do that.  is there a fix?
[08:58] <CosMiC_Touch> Does anyone use postfix + majordomo ?
[08:58] <soulhacker> wers:wats ur resolution?
[08:58] <bazhang> wers have you checked the www.eeeuser.com wiki on how to make hardy run perfectly?
[08:59] <wers> soulhacker: i want to be able to drag windows up without the upper panel stopping it
[08:59] <soulhacker> wers:try bazhang's advice
[09:00] <geirha> wers: hold down alt, and drag the window around with the left mouse button (middle button will resize)
[09:00] <mduara> Slart are u checking for something?
[09:00] <wers> geirha: that's what i do but the upper panel doesnt make windows pass through it
[09:01] <Slart> mduara: if the "PATH=/home/others:" are a part of your command it should be together with the rest of the command.. not at the start of the line.. unless it's some crontab feature I've missed
[09:02] <bazhang> Guest33927, that nick is taken (max)
[09:02] <Slart> mduara: so, the line would be "20 11 * * * PATH=/home/others /home/others/synch.sh"
[09:03] <soulhacker> hi guys i have a dilemma i am on a internal firewalled lan with only connection to internet being proxies but the thing is i myself am the admin of one of them so i have direct net access on that computer i want to fetch my ubuntu updates through that server rather then the proxy how do i do that?
[09:04] <soulhacker> hi guys i have a dilemma i am on a internal firewalled lan with only connection to internet being proxies but the thing is i myself am the admin of one of them so i have direct net access on that computer i want to fetch my ubuntu updates through that server rather then the proxy how do i do that?
[09:05] <joseph_cheah> anybody know how to install HILDON desktop on ubuntu MID?
[09:05] <bazhang> soulhacker, how much space on that server
[09:06] <bazhang> joseph_cheah, what is that
[09:06] <TwoD> Gin, It seems it doesn't support menues. Checked with Mplayer and VLC to confirm the dvd I used indeed had working menues and only VLC showed them.
[09:06] <soulhacker> bazhang:230 gigs but if you are suggesting creating a mirror i can't do that there are higher guys also on that server
[09:07] <bazhang> soulhacker, what about aptoncd
[09:07] <Gin> TwoD, vlc supoprt dvd menu, but I want one video player for all. VLC can't play HD videos smoothly. Mplayer can
[09:07] <soulhacker> bazhang:what?
[09:07] <Hail_Spacecake> I'm trying to copy every dot file from my home directory to another one with scp
[09:07] <bazhang> !aptoncd
[09:07] <Hail_Spacecake> I do scp -r user@host:~/.* . on the remote machine
[09:07] <Hail_Spacecake> but that copies every single file
[09:07] <Hail_Spacecake> instead of just the dot files
[09:08] <soulhacker> bazhang:but i want minor updates only
[09:08] <bazhang> soulhacker, you know the ones you want?
[09:09] <TwoD> Gin, I had some troubles with HD movies in VLC for Windows, but there I found a setting to lower the number of passes or something like that, have not been able to find such a setting in the Linux version tho.
[09:09] <soulhacker> bazhang:daily there are updates for ubuntu right they never exceed 200mb and dey happen very regularly
[09:10] <speedturtle> i just got my Asus mobo installed and running and i love it, i will never go with a Gigabyte mobo again lol
[09:10] <bazhang> soulhacker, not really; of late there have been almost none
[09:10] <Gin> TwoD, for HD videos, mplayer can play them fine
[09:10] <bazhang> !ot | speedturtle
[09:10] <joseph_cheah> bazhang: ubuntu mobile
[09:10] <bazhang> joseph_cheah, hildon
[09:10] <anto> when i boot my computer i get a grub error 21
[09:10] <joseph_cheah> bazhang: gnome mobile
[09:11] <soulhacker> bazhang:i noticed too but i want those only
[09:11] <bazhang> joseph_cheah, yes, I know what those mean; my question is what exactly is hildon
[09:11] <anto> when i boot my computer i get a grub error 21 does anyone know whats wrong?
[09:11] <joseph_cheah> bazhang: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/HildonDesktopManualProcedure
[09:12] <bazhang> joseph_cheah, thats quite clearly explained; what is your issue with it
[09:12] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com then soulhacker
[09:12] <__machine> how do i enable php5? i installed libapache2-mod-php5 and restarted... but when i try to get a php file it tries to download it instead of serving it...?
[09:12] <joseph_cheah> bazhang: someone done this before?
[09:13] <bazhang> joseph_cheah, there is a wiki, so certainly someone has tried; what errors have you gotten when you tried?
[09:15] <anto> __machine, have you installed php5 and php5-common?
[09:16] <Gin> !dvd
[09:16] <joseph_cheah> bazhang: well...just not very familiar with this...anybody done this before so that i no need to trying out all the way
[09:17] <__machine> arent they dependencies of libapache2-mod-php5 ? when i do aptitude search php5 it tells me that libapache2-mod-php5 and php5-common are installed... but not php5 (which says meta package)
[09:17] <Werdna> Is there a ubuntu equivalent of debian sid?
[09:17] <bazhang> joseph_cheah, well this is support; you are free to try and if you fail then you can ask questions based on the errors you have gotten. It may or may not work for you.
[09:18] <Gin> mplayer is pain in the ass to get it to work with dvdmenu. :(
[09:18] <crdlb> Werdna: no, but there is a release in development
[09:18] <bazhang> Gin, language please
[09:18] <Werdna> crdlb: so I just upgrade to the next revision as releases happen?
[09:18] <crdlb> Werdna: unlike sid, it varies from completely unusable to almost stable over the course of the 6 month release cycle
[09:19] <Werdna> crdlb: hmm. So what if I want to keep up to date with things more often than every six months?
[09:20] <crdlb> Werdna: you don't? :) You can press your luck with intrepid (the upcoming release) or find a PPA repo with some specific update
[09:20] <HymnToLife> Werdna: you don't use Ubuntu
[09:20] <HymnToLife> or you build from source
[09:20] <crdlb> but both are basically unsupported
[09:21] <LSD|Ninja> Werdna: you run Gentoo
[09:21] <Werdna> gentoo is annoying because it takes ten years to compile things.
[09:21] <HymnToLife> nah
[09:21] <Werdna> then again, I tried it on a VPS
[09:22] <Myrtti> Werdna: six months is incredibly often in comparison to many other distros
[09:22] <HymnToLife> It sometimes takes a while for new versions of stuff to make it into Portage too
[09:22] <Werdna> I know, but I'd like to try KDE4.1, for example
[09:22] <HymnToLife> 4.0 is in Hardy IIRC
[09:22] <HymnToLife> 4.1 is in Intrepid
[09:22] <Werdna> I'm running 4.0 atm.
[09:24] <micky> any ideas why php5-cli might choose not to quit / die / exit after a --help / -v or file exection ?
[09:24] <error404notfound> does ubuntu has ipython
[09:24] <moDumass> Flannel i cant dload the iso, i have cleared 2.2gigs out of my home dir, but it says i dont have enough room
[09:25] <paolo__> Hi *. I have a strange problen. If a file ends with .jpg or .JPG, it wouldn't be recognized as an image (any other name would be fine). Does anyone know why?
[09:25] <moDumass> !gparted
[09:26] <Duesentrieb> hi all... i'm looking for a personal project manager and time tracking app. i have looked at a few, but didn't find quite what i wanted.
[09:27]  * Werdna tickles Duesentrieb
[09:27] <Gin> my pc can hardly play HD videos. I get video lags
[09:27] <Duesentrieb> what i'm looking for is a calendaring app which lets me define projects. and i enter times when i worked, or will work, on a given project
[09:27] <Gin> :(
[09:27] <Duesentrieb> and it outputs total times.
[09:27] <Gin> thought Ubuntu was superior
[09:28] <moDumass> There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/wudnxv1s.iso.part.     arghhhh
[09:28] <moDumass> my brain smells like hotdogs
[09:28] <Duesentrieb> Gin: superior to what? video lag may be caused by a bad codec, or a bad video driver.... but i'm no expert for this stuff
[09:31] <paolo__> Hi *. I have a strange problen. If a file ends with .jpg or .JPG, it wouldn't be recognized as an image (any other name would be fine). Does anyone know why?
[09:31] <chanita> connect satriani.proteus-tech.com
[09:33] <[Luc1fer]> paolo__: that is indeed a strange problem.
[09:33] <Duesentrieb> paolo__: uh... recognized by what?
[09:34] <bazhang> paolo__, are you trying to change the filename of png to jpg or something like that?
[09:34] <paolo__> Duesentrieb: e.g. by gthumb
[09:34] <paolo__> bazhang: no...
[09:34] <paolo__> bazhang: just normal .jpeg files
[09:34] <bazhang> paolo__, then please clarify
[09:35] <paolo__> bazhang: well I have a lot of pictures named .jpg. If I try to view the directories with nautilius (or any other software) they wouldn't be recognized as images until I rename them (e.g. file.jpg -> file.jpeg)
[09:37] <anto> Guys i realy need some help
[09:37] <anto> my harddisk crashed
[09:37] <anto> and i need to recover the contents of /var/www and my mysql database
[09:37] <vega--> take them from your backups
[09:37] <vega--> which you, of course, have made
[09:38] <jdd> anto: boot with a livecd and you _may_ be able to recover the data. if you're lucky.
[09:38] <anto> jdd im not :(
[09:39] <anto> already on the live cd
[09:39] <leonancy> how to install web server in ubuntu?
[09:39] <anto> !apache leonancy
[09:39] <bazhang> !lamp
[09:39] <anto> o.0
[09:39] <jdd> anto: there is also the option of paying a data recovery service for it, which would run $200 - $1000
[09:39] <anto> jdd i cant afford that
[09:40] <jdd> anto: is the hard drive dead, or is it just corrupted? Is it making the death clicks?
[09:40] <anto> jdd its corrupted
[09:41] <vega--> run fsck?
[09:41] <kexp903> I need some help with my ubuntu 8.04 and connecting to a windows share
[09:41] <jdd> anto: have you tried running fsck?
[09:41] <SimonXu> Hi, I'm having a problem with my r8169 ether driver. "PCI interrupt for device 0000:07:00 disabled"
[09:41] <anto> jdd yes 2sec ill show the output
[09:41] <SimonXu> "cache line size of 32 is not supported by device 0000:07:00.0"
[09:41] <anto> sorry for the flood
[09:41] <anto> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sda2
[09:41] <anto> fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
[09:41] <anto> fsck: fsck.swap: not found
[09:41] <anto> fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.swap for /dev/sda2
[09:42] <FloodBot2> anto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:42] <catfox> hi all - does anyone have any ideas why my external monitor has a LOT of flickering going on? also, if i open a nautilus window and drag it on that desktop, there's a huge lag.
[09:42] <jdd> anto: is /dev/sda2 your swap partition?
[09:43] <paolo__> bazhang: any hint?
[09:43] <jdd> anto: you can't fsck the swap partition.
[09:43] <kexp903> I've looked all over in the forums also I have gotten the /etc/samba/smb.conf
[09:43] <kexp903> properly but I still can't see any files in my vista
[09:43] <anto> jdd its not my swap partition
[09:43] <anto> thats the problem
[09:44] <anto> or wait.
[09:44] <geirha> paolo__: check that you have jpg set as an extension for image/jpeg in /etc/mime.types
[09:44] <vega--> anto: fdisk -l /dev/sda show if it is
[09:44] <anto> vega your right i was not thinking clear
[09:44] <co_13thn_> ce_cute_fs
[09:45] <anto> dev/sdb* is what is fucking up :(
[09:45] <jdd> anto: run fsck on that then, as long as it's not mounted.
[09:45] <hano> hi all
[09:46] <anto> jdd /dev/sdb is not even showing up
[09:46] <anto> maybe the sata cable has fallen out again
[09:46] <hano> is there a way to upgrade form ubuntu 6.10 to 8.04? nothings working, even the upgrade function, since there's no support anymore
[09:46] <jdd> anto: _again_?
[09:47] <[Luc1fer]> hano: unfortunately, its not possible.
[09:47] <[Luc1fer]> hano: you have to download and install 8.04 hardy heron.
[09:48] <leonancy> am new to linux and am using ubuntu how can I know my ubuntu version?
[09:48] <frame05> a
[09:48] <vega--> leonancy: lsb_release -a
[09:49] <hano> Luclfer: hmm, ok.. or is it possible to go "back" to drapper drake and upgrade then?
[09:50] <jdd> hano: no. copy your data and reinstall is probably the only way to get up to speed.
[09:50] <HymnToLife> leonancy: cat /etc/issue
[09:50] <micky> i'm executing php -v from /bin/bash and it displais php version but then it fails to exit / send that "program termination signal" .. any ideas how i can track the issue ? i've already ruled out php5-cli version and bash since i have the exact versions running in a chroot and they work fine together..
[09:50] <hano> jdd: hm ok, thank you. I'll do so
[09:50] <hano> bye!
[09:52] <geirha> micky: running it through strace might give some clues: "strace php -v"
[09:52] <leonancy> thanks
[09:54] <kexp903> so there is no solution to file share properly between vista and ubuntu?
[09:54] <micky> geirha .. strace reveals it`s locking at a futex() call
[09:55] <geirha> micky: Hm, give it a google.
[09:56] <nesw> hi all... vlc player seems to be missing dvd navigation. ideas? something i need to install/configure?
[09:57] <Arepie> any malays around?
[09:57] <rockysynergy> Do any of you know how I can open .csv file?
[09:57] <jdd> rockysynergy: it's probably just text.
[09:58] <nesw> i believe open office (calc) can open .csv if you're looking for the spreadsheet type thing
[09:58] <jdd> I keep forgetting that means anything other than "comma seperated value"
[09:59] <nesw> thats what i thought it meant
[10:00] <a2z> when i try to connect to a particulaer server i get an error unable to connect(connection reset by peer) but i am able to connect to all other servers except this please help
[10:00] <a2z> also my friends can connect to that server
[10:02] <micky> geirha thanks, it seems there was a freaking php extension from the cgi version loading into the cli one through debian`s "php5 shared plugin configuration dir" that was not really needed :)
[10:02] <paigeadele> futex?
[10:02] <a2z> when i try to connect to a particulaer server i get an error unable to connect(connection reset by peer) but i am able to connect to all other servers except this please help my friends can connect to it only i am having problems
[10:03] <paigeadele> kexp903: yes, you can make your vista machines look like ubuntu machines and share files between them flawlessly.
[10:04] <geirha> micky: ah, so uninstalling that fixed the problem?
[10:05] <arooni-mobile> the mplayer plugin for firefox 3 on hardy doesnt work well (or at all)... is there an alternative for playing .wmv files embedded in a web page (still using firefox)?
[10:05] <micky> geirha no i only had to remove the conf.d symlink from the cli directory and place my required modules in there ( at least the ones i know for sure that are compatible with the cli version )

[10:19] <DIFH-iceroot> imo
[10:20] <a2z> ok
[10:20] <a2z> without the port also it pings
[10:20] <RandyboY> Is there any way (other than close all applicatons) to make the computer not hang (use all cpu and memory) or atleast kill the application which is the reason for the problem other than restart X or computer?
[10:20] <DIFH-iceroot> RandyboY: kill
[10:21] <RandyboY> DIFH-iceroot, when it hangs i cant do "#¤! with it... it just takes waaay to long going from black screen to even get the system monitor up

[10:23] <biped> Hello! Huge Problem here: I clicked the quit button in gnome and chose "go to standby" (or whatever it is in English, I'm using the German version) then I saw a few messages, then a blank screen for 1 or 2 minutes and my computer got switched off automatically. Now I tried to restart it and nothing happens, it doesn't even start booting.
[10:23] <ikonia> hippu: hold the power button for 10 seconds
[10:23] <biped> Any ideas? Any hope?
[10:23] <ikonia> hippu: then reboot
[10:24] <RandyboY> nesw, cant even get the possibility to open it :-)
[10:24] <RandyboY> DIFH-iceroot, strg?
[10:24] <DIFH-iceroot> RandyboY: sorry strg is the german version, i mean ctrl
[10:27] <RandyboY> DIFH-iceroot, that might work. The machine isnt hanging now, but ill try when (not if) it does again :) Thanks

Now I tried to restart it and nothing happens, it doesn't even start booting.
[10:36] <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, how do i use munin? just installed it
[10:36] <ikonia> hippu: I told you what to do
[10:36] <azmodan> Hi all, how do I check to see if Kubuntu is using DMA on my HDD??  I type "sudo hdparm /dev/hda" in Terminal but it says no file/dir exists!!
[10:36] <ikonia> hippu: hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds until you hear it power off
[10:36] <ikonia> hippu: then actually power it of
[10:36] <Pirate_Hunter> are their ever planning to put tabs in nautilus cause having to move files from nautilus is rather annoying since I have to open two directories "and yes why dont I just do it from terminal"?
[10:36] <ikonia> hippu: if all fails, pull the power lead out of the back
[10:36] <ikonia> hippu: then power back on
[10:36] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: it should generate graphs for you pretty quick and leave them on your webserver
[10:37] <biped> ikonia, my name isn't hippu
[10:37] <biped> weird
[10:37] <biped> i should be displayed as biped
[10:37] <ikonia> hippu: apologies
[10:37] <ikonia> biped: you are
[10:37] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: http://localhost/munin
[10:37] <biped> i am displayed as biped in my chatzilla...
[10:37] <IrishDavid> ah, i dont have a webserver installed
[10:37] <biped> so that message was for me, alright, i'll try
[10:37] <ikonia> biped: you are disapled as biped it was my type
[10:38] <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, any ideas which webserver to install?
[10:38] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: apache2 ?
[10:38] <torgrimt_> apt-get install apache2 munin munin-node
[10:38] <torgrimt_> ;)
[10:39] <sledgeas> hello
[10:39] <ikonia> sledgeas: hi
[10:39] <sledgeas> has anyone ever used reconstructor?
[10:40] <ikonia> sledgeas: I have no idea what it even is
[10:40] <bazhang> !remaster
[10:40] <sledgeas> lol
[10:40] <bazhang> sledgeas, try one of those ^^
[10:40] <sledgeas> it's an ubuntu slipsteraming program
[10:40] <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, any ideas of anything else? dont really want to install apache on an EEEpc
[10:40] <sledgeas> bazhang: how come you did not list out reconstructor? :)
[10:40] <ikonia> IrishDavid: why don't you want apache ?
[10:40] <bazhang> sledgeas, that is from fedora
[10:40] <sledgeas> s/you/it :)
[10:40] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: for just viewing it live bwm works pretty good
[10:41] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: there is another one.. let me check
[10:41] <sledgeas> ow
[10:41] <nesw> okay that's interesting. vlc had dvd navigation if i run it from the terminal, but not if i run it from the menu or double click on .iso file
[10:41] <IrishDavid> ikonia, because if i install apache it will steal resources, those are precious on an Atom
[10:41] <ikonia> IrishDavid: light httpd then
[10:41] <ikonia> IrishDavid: apache doesn't use much resource as a dumb http server
[10:42] <IrishDavid> ikonia, it's another thing to boot
[10:42] <ikonia> IrishDavid: it's a sub second start up time
[10:42] <ikonia> IrishDavid: that is a weak argument
[10:42] <jhattara> and apache can always be disabled when not required and i believe you can set it not to load on boot
[10:43] <ikonia> jhattara: yes
[10:43] <ikonia> jhattara: or just start it manually when you want it
[10:43] <IrishDavid> ikonia, i dont want to run a web server on a laptop that i use purely for browsing, not really a weak argument
[10:43] <simoo>  Hi, is there a way I can stop the network manager using the keyring?, sinse swapping to wireless I now have to enter a password every boot
[10:43] <ikonia> IrishDavid: oh, I thought you where asking for a webserver, my mistake/apologies
[10:43] <bazhang> IrishDavid, why do you need a webserver on eeepc?
[10:43] <biped> ikonia thanks, but none of your suggestions work. the screen gets no signal and the hd led is constantly on.
[10:44] <ikonia> biped: pull the power lead out
[10:44] <henrik_> anyone who could help me out, im lookin for a app or script that shift from screen to tv, and the other way, can anyone recomend anything?
[10:44] <biped> and PS/2 isn't working either
[10:44] <biped> i pulled the power lead out
[10:44] <biped> nothing
[10:44] <joaopinto> IrishDavid, <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, any ideas which webserver to install? <- weren't you asking for a web server ?
[10:44] <IrishDavid> bazhang, ikonia, I'm looking for a download/bandwidth monitor to assess how my 3G stick is performing
[10:44] <ikonia> IrishDavid: you don't need a webserver for that
[10:44] <ikonia> hippu: put it back in and then boot
[10:45] <IrishDavid> ikonia, if you read back up you will see torgrimt_ suggested munin which requires a webserver so i was just asking
[10:45] <biped> yes, i assumed that I'd have to plug it back in and boot again :)
[10:45] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: munin was for creating the graph, you dont really need a webserver
[10:45] <biped> but as I said, nothing
[10:45] <ikonia> IrishDavid: ok then - so use apache
[10:45] <damien> hello to all
[10:45] <torgrimt_> you can find the png in /var/www/munin
[10:45] <ikonia> biped: then you have a hardware error
[10:45] <torgrimt_> or you can use bwm in your console
[10:45] <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, thanks
[10:45] <torgrimt_> or some ifstat
[10:46] <azmodan> How do I check my Hard Drives are using DMA?  They seem a bit sluggish when copying files?!
[10:46] <torgrimt_> azmodan: hdparm -t /dev/hda
[10:46] <damien> hello to all
[10:46] <ikonia> azmodan: they will be, but hdparm wil show
[10:46] <torgrimt_> azmodan: no forget it ;) hdparm -d
[10:46] <torgrimt_> sorry ;)
[10:46] <damien> im new to ubuntu , is ubuntu better than windows ??
[10:46] <ikonia> damien: thats personal opinion, try it
[10:46] <IrishDavid> torgrimt_, i assume i need to restart for munin to kick in?
[10:46] <torgrimt_> damien: is audi better then bmw? ;)
[10:46] <damien> yes
[10:46] <damien> lol
[10:47] <torgrimt_> IrishDavid: it runs from cron, and it will generate the nice png every 5 mins
[10:47] <bazhang> !ot | damien
[10:47] <damien> i just wouldnt mind some info from people who have used it ?? as im sick of windows crashing so iv installed the latest ubuntu and it seems to be really good
[10:47] <zerubuntu> I am looking at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and I don't get what it's talking about where it says, "Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager"
[10:47] <biped> ikonia from what I have told you, do you believe it is restorable?

[10:50] <zerubuntu> can someone help me? I am looking at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and I don't get what it's talking about where it says, "Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager". First of all, I don't know where this "restricted manager" is
[10:50] <bazhang> zerubuntu, now called hardware drivers in hardy
[10:51] <zerubuntu> second of all, the instructions seem to be redundant... "enable accelerated the accelerated..."
[10:51] <bazhang> zerubuntu, under system administration

[10:51] <bazhang> myconid, dont feed
[10:51] <zerubuntu> ok ty bazhang, i'm gonna try it now
[10:51] <Ninakupenda> but you insult my people
[10:52] <joaopinto> Ninakupenda, this is a support channel, not a complains channel, please keep quiet, if you have complains try the Canonical page, thanks
[10:52] <bazhang> Ninakupenda, this is the wrong channel for that

[10:52] <KenBW2> raginghawk: is being swedish a necessity?
[10:52] <chris_> klk
[10:52] <joaopinto> raginghawk, usually to run a program with wine you only need to run from the terminal: wine program.exe
[10:52] <chris_> aha
[10:52] <chris_> jop
[10:53] <Ninakupenda> my group will be writing your leader, Mr. Shuttleworth a letter very soon. good day

[10:53] <henrik_> anyone who could help me out, im lookin for a app or script that shift from screen to tv, and the other way, can anyone recomend anything?
[10:53] <bazhang> raginghawk, its fine.
[10:53] <hateball> !ask | raginghawk
[10:53] <chris_> ohhhhhhhh
[10:54] <Shuttleworthless> YO I USED TO SELL OIL. NOW I USE AFRICA TO MARKET A RAP linux distro
[10:54] <zerubuntu> bazhang, Ok i did that, and the second step... now on the third step, it gave me this error, "insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 Operation not permitted"
[10:54] <raginghawk> i found a great guide on fjsoft. i have tried to follow that. http://www.fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2838
[10:54] <Pirate_Hunter> someone ban Shuttleworthless
[10:55] <myconid> Pirate_Hunter, 30 seconds ago called...
[10:55] <KenBW2> raginghawk: i assume you have Wine installed
[10:55] <bazhang> zerubuntu, you are still using insmod? thought you were told to use modprobe
[10:56] <zerubuntu> ok i thought you were a different person. just double checkin... brb
[10:56] <drmarwat> hello
[10:56] <myconid> ubuntu installer should geomap my ip during install
[10:57] <omkar> Guys I m getting n error while installing j2re 1.4
[10:57] <bazhang> myconid, put it on brainstorm
[10:57] <omkar> 1.4.2_)4
[10:57] <omkar> 1.4.2_04
[10:57] <bazhang> !brainstorm
[10:57] <myconid> bazhang, im sure its there.
[10:57] <raginghawk> in the guide it says me to       "Then select MyPhoneExplorer.exe under "Applications", and create a new settlement for "oleaut32.dll" under "librarys". (Set to "Native (Windows)"!) "    under applications i i fix so myphoneexplorer.exe is there... but under library. i dont understand.
[10:57] <joaopinto> omkar, do you need that specific version ?
[10:57] <bazhang> myconid, then no need to discuss here
[10:57] <joaopinto> You can get 1.6 easily from the repositories
[10:57] <myconid> bazhang, gruphmph indeed!
[10:57] <drmarwat> i want to install kde 4.1 as sole desktop environment and want to remove kde 3.5.9, so how do i completly remove kde 3.5.9?
[10:58] <bazhang> myconid, this is a busy support channel
[10:58] <omkar> yes
[10:58] <omkar> for Oracle apps
[10:58] <bazhang> myconid, the chat channel is #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:58] <joaopinto> drmarwat, that is a question for #kubuntu :)
[10:58] <zerubuntu> bazhang, i used modprobe instead, like this: sudo modprobe /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko and it gave me this error: FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.24_19_generic/volatile/fglrx.ko not found.
[10:58] <joaopinto> omkar, so you are downloading the jre from the sun site ?
[10:58] <drmarwat> joaopinto: thanks
[10:59] <bazhang> zerubuntu, why not just enable in the hardware drivers? why are you trying to do it that way?
[10:59] <omkar> actually when i install java
[10:59] <omkar> it gives me n error tail: cannot open `+417' for reading: No such file or directory
[10:59] <omkar> Checksumming...
[10:59] <zerubuntu> bazhang, because that's what the guide says to do at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[10:59] <omkar> n says to check the troubleshoot matter on the link
[11:00] <joaopinto> omkar, that means your installer file is broken
[11:00] <bazhang> zerubuntu, which ati card
[11:00] <joaopinto> probably a corrupted download
[11:00] <KenBW2> i it possible for Wine to deal with drivers?
[11:00] <thomas_> yop
[11:00] <myconid> KenBW2, In what sense?
[11:00] <zerubuntu> sapphire ati radeon x1650 512mb agp
[11:00] <joaopinto> zerubuntu, that guide is outdated, you just need to use the drivers manager dialog
[11:01] <omkar> how come i downloaded from the site
[11:01] <joaopinto> KenBW2, if you mean using wine to configure a driver for linux, no
[11:01] <KenBW2> myconid: i have the Windows program that deals with my mobile phone, and it installs/runs under Wine, but obviously the drivers arent tere
[11:01] <zerubuntu> well i was directed to this guide earlier...
[11:01] <myconid> KenBW2, then no - you would need a linux driver..
[11:01] <joaopinto> omkar,  like I said, that message is usually reported for a broken file, retry your download
[11:01] <myconid> KenBW2, or VMWare
[11:02] <omkar> I did it the same thing again
[11:02] <KenBW2> myconid, joaopinto: any other solution?
[11:02] <myconid> KenBW2, or VMWare
[11:02] <omkar> its same 13.5 Mb
[11:02] <KenBW2> myconid: i dont have a Windows licence
[11:02] <zerubuntu> bazhang, it's a sapphire radeon x1650 512mb agp card
[11:02] <joaopinto> omkar, is it a .bin file ? that you are running ?
[11:02] <omkar> Yes
[11:02] <omkar> YES YES
[11:02] <omkar> YES
[11:03] <joaopinto> omkar, that file check's itself, if it's reporting a checksum error, the file is corrupted, end of story :(
[11:03] <KenBW2> myconid: is there an ndiswrapper for USB devices?
[11:03] <joaopinto> also make sure you have enough disk space (that is a common cause for corrupted downloads)
[11:03] <myconid> KenBW2, NDIS is a network driver protocol.
[11:04] <KenBW2> myconid: yea i know, but is there an equivalent for USB things
[11:04] <myconid> not to my knowledge.
[11:04] <KenBW2> myconid: ah well
[11:04] <myconid> does ubuntu server install hang at "configuring makedev"?
[11:05] <joaopinto> myconid, not usually, if it does, then you have a problem...
[11:05] <zerubuntu> I really like ubuntu, much easier to install and seems much more stable than windows. cheaper too.
[11:05] <hateball> How can I mark a certain package to never get upgraded through apt-get?
[11:05] <A[D]minS> how i can reset MBR ?
[11:05] <myconid> zerubuntu, No offense, but if Windows isnt stable for you, you need better hardware.
[11:06] <A[D]minS> i want to format or delete the data on MBR
[11:06] <A[D]minS> how i can do it?
[11:06] <joaopinto> hateball, from the package manager, you can force a specific version to be installed
[11:06] <ikonia> A[D]minS: dd is a useful tool
[11:06] <myconid> A[D]minS, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[11:06] <myconid> if WILL wipe the drive of all meaningful data
[11:06] <N_I_K_A> hi everyone
[11:06] <zerubuntu> myconid :)) i'm using a computer i put together 10 years ago for 100 bucks.
[11:06] <joaopinto> A[D]minS, if you need an windows mbr, you will need a windows tool :) (or you copy it from a windows system using dd)
[11:07] <myconid> zerubuntu, a 486?
[11:07] <neko_> hi people
[11:07] <neko_> i have a really annoying problem
[11:07] <joaopinto> zerubuntu, myconid: this channel it for support, not for random chat about linux vs windows :)
[11:07] <joaopinto> is
[11:07] <zerubuntu> we're talkin'  soa here... amd 2600+ barton 512kb l2 cache, wd caviar, 1.5gb patriot 2-3-2 stepping
[11:07] <zerubuntu> kk sry
[11:07] <neko_> i need to reset the firewall rules from my ubuntu at is default status
[11:07] <N_I_K_A> the abuses you I do not answer?
[11:08] <myconid> joaopinto, I didnt see any random chat regarding linux v. windows, but thank you.
[11:08] <hateball> joaopinto: Any way to do it commandline?
[11:08] <ikonia> N_I_K_A: what is the problem
[11:08] <ikonia> N_I_K_A: you have been given the russian channel for your native language
[11:08] <ikonia> !ru | N_I_K_A
[11:08] <joaopinto> hateball, yes, you can set a pin rule on /etc/apt/preferences (you will need to create the file)
[11:08] <Slart> neko_: you need to flush the iptables rules and set the default for the chains.. plus remove any created chains
[11:08] <joaopinto> hateball, man apt_preferences
[11:08] <hateball> joaopinto: ah ok, I'll look into it. Cheers
[11:09] <Slart> neko_: there are some scripts available on the net for doing this.. google for "iptables reset script"
[11:09] <neko_> slart: would it be keep the rules at next reboot ?
[11:09] <myron> can anyone help with a sudo: unable to resolve host error?
[11:10] <myconid> myron, what command did you run immediately prior to the error?
[11:10] <Slart> neko_: yes, unless there is a startup script that sets some new rules
[11:10] <joaopinto> myron, yes, you will need to boot into rescue mode, and add your system host into /etc/hosts , on the <IP_ADDRESS> alias
[11:10] <myron> I can't remember.....
[11:10] <neko_> that's what i am seek
[11:10] <neko_> seeking for, i must have some uninstallled firewall thingie that haven't uninstall correctly
[11:10] <erUSUL> myron: look into /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and check that they agree on what your hostname is
[11:10] <myron> lately I have set up a VNC Server, tried to run a sudo command at start up
[11:11] <omkar> can i install .rpm.bin
[11:11] <neko_> it reset my rules at reboot to some that block samba ports :(
[11:11] <omkar> ?
[11:11] <omkar> in Ubuntu
[11:11] <Slart> !alien | omkar
[11:11] <omkar> eheehe
[11:11] <omkar> I knw tht
[11:11] <joaopinto> OmIkRoNiXz, to install java on Ubuntu the best option is the .bin installer, no need for the rpm
[11:11] <joaopinto> ops, was omkar
[11:11] <omkar> ya
[11:11] <Slart> neko_: did you install firestarter or something like that?
[11:11] <omkar> Jaopinto
[11:12] <ikonia> omkar: don't try to use rpm's unless you know exactly what your doing
[11:12] <henrik_> anyone who could help me out, im lookin for a app or script that shift from screen to tv, and the other way, can anyone recomend anything?
[11:12] <neko_> yop
[11:12] <ikonia> omkar: and rpm.bin - does not look like an rpm file
[11:12] <myron> test
[11:12] <omkar> but actually waht issues I am facing is cleared with u abt the corrupt download n also abt the
[11:12] <AnRkey> is there a reason why a qt based app cant see any printers in 8.04.1
[11:12] <AnRkey> ?
[11:12] <myron> My hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname match
[11:13] <ikonia> AnRkey: depends if that app is setup to use cups
[11:13] <ikonia> myron: what is the ip it's mapped against in /etc/hosts
[11:13] <_numbers_> hi there, how can i get the time as a clock pic instead of digital in the bottom right corner ??
[11:13] <neko_> Slart: that's it i had a try with shorewall then i have uninstall it
[11:14] <Slart> neko_: ok.. try doing this.. "sudo apt-get install shorewall; sudo apt-get purge shorewall"
[11:14] <neko_> then with firestarter then uninstall it because this one won't load the rules at boot, it needs to have the gui started
[11:14] <neko_> oeky
[11:14] <neko_> i have a try
[11:14] <Slart> neko_: then reset the firewall rules
[11:15] <myron> http://paste.ubuntu.com/38396 & http://paste.ubuntu.com/38400
[11:15] <myron> <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:16] <ikonia> myron: what happens if you do "sudo apt-get update" now ?
[11:16] <neko_> Slart ufw would did the job for resetting ?
[11:17] <Slart> neko_: well.. it might.. I haven't used ufw
[11:17] <myron> it works
[11:17] <myron> so do all sudo commands
[11:17] <neko_> iptables -F ?
[11:17] <joaopinto> erm
[11:17] <ikonia> myron: there you go - your sorted
[11:17] <myron> but I still have the error
[11:17] <ikonia> myron: what error ?
[11:17] <Slart> neko_: didn't you google for that script?
[11:18] <myron> sudo: unable to resolve host
[11:18] <jurism> How to kill apache2? /etc/init.d/apache2 do not kill all processes and even killall -v apache2 do not kill all processes. how can I kill all apache2 processes?
[11:18] <ikonia> jurism: how do you know it's running ?
[11:18] <ikonia> jurism: what is the process id of it
[11:18] <ikonia> jurism: can you do "sudo apache2ctl stop"
[11:18] <jurism> because I see many apache2 processes in webmin
[11:18] <ikonia> jurism: webmin is not supported and is known to have issues
[11:19] <joaopinto> jurism, webmin does not work with ubuntu
[11:19] <myron> ERROR: "sudo: unable to resolve host (hostname)"

[11:21] <jurism> thank You!
[11:22] <joaopinto> ra21vi, sudo fuser -n tcp port_number

[11:22] <Slart> sonaquela: pkill is one way, man pkill for more info
[11:22] <myron> could avahi possibly cause the problem?
[11:22] <joaopinto> sonaquela, pkill
[11:22] <sonaquela> thks
[11:23] <Slart> myron: well.. I guess it's possible
[11:23] <helpy> !clone
[11:23] <ben0m> hi

[11:23] <myconid> jk
[11:23] <sonaquela> how can i install ams2
[11:23] <sonaquela> amsn2
[11:23] <myron> is there not a log that sudo can report that could help?
[11:23] <neko_> Slart: same problem
[11:24] <joaopinto> sonaquela, there is no such version of amsn
[11:24] <sonaquela> amsn 0.98
[11:24] <Slart> neko_: can you pastebin the output of "sudo iptables -L"
[11:24] <neko_> it seems that shorewall won't correctly purge, as i have it in the service list (not startà
[11:24] <joaopinto> sonaquela, the latest stable version is 0.97.2
[11:24] <helpy> whats wrong amsn sonaquela
[11:24] <Slart> neko_: did you run those two commands I gave you? sudo apt-get etc etc
[11:24] <helpy> ?
[11:24] <neko_> yep
[11:25] <sonaquela> helpy,  i cant login ............. what amsn need
[11:25] <sonaquela> to work correctly
[11:25] <neko_> i pastebin
[11:25] <Slart> !pt
[11:25] <neko_> !pt
[11:25] <neko_> !pastebin
[11:25] <joaopinto> sonaquela, you can get the latest stable version from www.getdeb.net , you will need to wait for the update on your repositories
[11:25] <joaopinto> or ...
[11:25] <sonaquela> thks
[11:26] <myron> does sudo not have a error report logfile?
[11:26] <joaopinto> myconid, sudo logs to syslog by default
[11:26] <Hew> sonaquela, joaopinto: software from getdeb is not supported. The version of amsn that comes with Ubuntu should be fine.
[11:27] <Slart> Hew: didn't amsn had some problems with icq ?
[11:27] <neko_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/38461/
[11:27] <joaopinto> Hew, are you sure that the version of amsn on the repositories is fine ? That is not what some users have been reporting
[11:28] <Slart> neko_: did you install something called Lokkit?
[11:28] <myron> it seems that before the sudo error message in syslog, there is: Aug 18 06:25:01 ubuntu CRON[7084]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
[11:28] <neko_> yep i had a try with it as well
[11:28] <myron> afterwards it closes
[11:28] <Slart> neko_: did you uninstall it?
[11:28] <Hew> Slart, I'm not sure, I haven't used amsn for some time, but if there is a known issue there should be a bug report on it and a solution being worked on.
[11:28] <myron> and then the sudo errors
[11:28] <neko_> yep
[11:28] <Hew> joaopinto: what are users reporting?
[11:28] <pvh_sa|wrk> hi... any recommendations for tools so help me trace through code? i.e. i'm looking at C source, and i want to be able to go from a function to its definition, hopping between different files, #defines, etc
[11:28] <neko_> i try to purge it
[11:28] <Slart> neko_: try the same thing there.. "sudo apt-get install lokkit; sudo apt-get purge lokkit"
[11:29] <neko_> okey
[11:29] <helpy> !clone
[11:29] <Slart> pvh_sa|wrk: some kind of IDE? anjuta perhaps.. or eclipse
[11:29] <neko_> i get it
[11:29] <neko_> i will do this for all the tools i have try
[11:29] <myron> what process could I close relating to hte pam_unix error message to see if its causing my sudo error
[11:29] <Slart> neko_: yes.. lets hope that fixes it
[11:29] <pvh_sa|wrk> Slart, i'll try both - which is the more "light weight" ?
[11:29] <Hew> Slart, joaopinto: I can't see any significant problems reported for amsn.
[11:30] <neko_> that's a pity it didn't purge correctly with uninstall them
[11:30] <Slart> pvh_sa|wrk: I would say anjuta is more light weight
[11:30] <Hew> sonaquela: what is the problem you are having with amsn login?
[11:30] <pvh_sa|wrk> thanks Slart
[11:30] <Slart> Hew: I know pidgin had some problems with icq.. and I think amsn had one at the same time.. something about servers changing or protocol changes
[11:31] <Hew> Slart: I remember hearing about an ICQ problem in Pidgin, but looking at open amsn bugs atm, and there is nothing there.
[11:32] <helpy> i have a strange problem with my ubuntu
[11:32] <Slart> Hew: they might have fixed it.. I know it's fixed in pidgin since a couple of weeks
[11:33] <helpy> sound works sometimes, other times i have to restart it to work
[11:33] <helpy> any idea ?
[11:33] <neko_> Slart: last reboot
[11:33] <IndyGunFreak> helpy: its probably a pulse audio issue...
[11:33] <helpy> huh ?
[11:33] <helpy> how do i fix that indy ?
[11:33] <joaopinto> Hew, I was confused with another amsn issue which happened on a previous release, please ignore me :P
[11:33] <helpy> its really a pain when i am in a conference call
[11:34] <helpy> i can't play videos
[11:34] <Hew> Slart: Yea, that's good news :-). In any case, my point earlier was that we shouldn't be recommending getdeb as a solution here.
[11:34] <helpy> i mean without voice
[11:34] <neko_> Slart: but the purge thing seems to have restore rules, hope the output haven't lie :)
[11:34] <IndyGunFreak> helpy: the easiest way, is to switch all your apps and sound preferences, over to alsa
[11:34] <helpy> btw if no has read that yet, AdobeAir has launched alpha version for linux :)
[11:34] <helpy> i am already on alsa indy
[11:34] <evilgnome> does anyone know how to get a minimal ubuntu installation? the help.ubuntu site says to use the alternate install CD, and then choose to "Install a command-line system" -- but that is not on option on the alternate install CD I've downloaded from ubuntu's site... any help would be appreciated
[11:34] <IndyGunFreak> helpy: then i don't know what the prob could be.
[11:34] <helpy> my sound also doesnt work in SecondLife
[11:34] <joaopinto> Hew, and what if the user requests a package which is not available on the repositories ?
[11:35] <bazhang> !minimal
[11:35] <bazhang> evilgnome, ^^
[11:35] <Slart> Hew: I agree about the getdeb thing
[11:35] <IndyGunFreak> joaopinto: well, you'd have to compile it from source i guess...
[11:35] <evilgnome> bazhang: perfect, thanks
[11:35] <Slart> neko_: hehe.. lets hope
[11:35] <ale22944> hi all! I've got a new problem with ubuntu 7.10 =( yesterday I've connected an external monitor (I've got an Nvidia Geforce Go7300) and everything worked well. Now after reboot of my computer it's impossible to modify screen resolution and my laptop recognise only 640x480! The configuration utility doesn't wor anymore! please help!!
[11:36] <joaopinto> IndyGunFreak, how does that turn better than getdeb :), specially for an non experienced user ?
[11:36] <Hew> joaopinto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> joaopinto: i thought you said no package was available.. if its on getdeb, you can try getting it there
[11:36] <joaopinto> Hew, I am aware of the process, that does not provide an answer for an end user ;)
[11:36] <IndyGunFreak> but i've had mixed results w/ getdeb
[11:36] <Hew> joaopinto: If they ask specifically for something that is not in the Ubuntu repos, but is at getdeb, I suppose that is fine, but it's still not supported
[11:36] <evilgnome> bazhang: I looked at that page before, but it doesn't have a CRUCIAL fact that you mentioned: "allowing you to select  │@FloodBot1
[11:36] <bullgard4> What is the reason that one Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer has got a process acpid but another Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer not?
[11:37] <evilgnome> oops
[11:37] <bazhang> hehe
[11:37] <evilgnome> well it doesn't say you can choose the packages
[11:37] <neko_> Slart: hurray ! it works, thanks a lot for the purge tip
[11:37] <evilgnome> but you definitely can?
[11:37] <Hew> joaopinto: For amsn at least they should not be directed there, as the version in Hardy should do the job, but there is also a version in Intrepid if they need to be on the cutting edge.
[11:37] <joep01> Goodafternoon. Does anybody know where the backports for Breezy have gone.  I found out. However, I have a disk (64-bit) with ubuntu 7. Does this means to install over the old breezy??
[11:39] <Slart> neko_: you're welcome.. glad it helped
[11:39] <bazhang> joep01, back up what files you have to then install
[11:40] <IndyGunFreak> joep01: it would probably be easier to just go straight to Ubuntu 8.04(current version)... but you can do as you please
[11:40] <erUSUL> joep01: yep backup important data and clean install of a current version
[11:40] <BlackDex> hello there..
[11:40] <BlackDex> how can i add and/or remove locales?
[11:41] <joep01> bazhang: and IndyGunFreak; Yes I think I will do that. But do I have to clear the whole partition or does ubuntu install over the old one?
[11:41] <BlackDex> and how can i add/generate all locales?
[11:41] <erUSUL> BlackDex: system<Admin>Language support ?
[11:41] <bazhang> joep01, will install over
[11:41] <IndyGunFreak> joep01: you could tell it to install over it, that wouldn't be a problem, you just need to make sure your important iles are backed up
[11:43] <joep01> IndyGunFreak: Well that's no problem. I'll try that. It's a Windows system but I have it as a dual boot configured.
[11:44] <damien> just wondering if someone could help me how do i change my res , on ubuntu?
[11:44] <IndyGunFreak> joep01: ok, just make sure you configure it to overwrite your Breezy partition, and not the whoel drive, and you shoudl be fine.
[11:45] <BlackDex> erUSUL: I don't think that is what i mean
[11:45] <BlackDex> i just need to add the locales
[11:45] <erUSUL> BlackDex: then you are asking for the olg sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales??
[11:45] <BlackDex> like, locale-gen etc..
[11:45] <damien> does anyone no how to change the res on the screen in unbuntu 8.
[11:45] <joep01> IndyGunFreak: Thanks. I'll do that. I sign off and let the channel to to others as I have other work to do. Tahnks again for the help.
[11:46] <IndyGunFreak> joep01: what i would do, is boot up a live CD, and use Gparted to delete your existing Linux partitions(swap, /, et all).. then download the 8.04 alt. install CD, and when it cgets to the partition part, tell it to "Use unallocated space"... and it wil setup that unallocated space automatically
[11:46] <erUSUL> BlackDex: http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/237
[11:46] <damien> ??
[11:47] <IndyGunFreak> joep01: just make sure when you delete them, you leave them unallocated, and the text installer will do that perfectly.
[11:47] <erUSUL> damien: gksudo displayconfig-gtk
[11:47] <damien> how do i do that , im new to ubuntu im used to windows xp
[11:47] <damien> its a bit confussing
[11:47] <joep01> IndyGunFreak: Yes I got that. Thanks again. I'l be later back as I now have some work to do. Cheers.
[11:48] <IndyGunFreak> damien: type that line that erUSUL just told you, in a terminal.. (gksudo displayconfig-gtk) then hit enter

[12:03] <askand> How do I intregrate Tracker with Nautilus?
[12:05] <Pirate_Hunter> shah, than apply them as this site recommends http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html well its straight forward, if ifdown & ifup dont add details into network management gui
[12:06] <Pirate_Hunter> shah, if you want it to be easy just do it through the gui however i dont know if the changes are permanent or not when you do it that way but should be
[12:07] <shah> Pirate_Hunter: Im using Irssi chat client, im chatting from a bare minimal system with no graphical interface :( so i cannot browse through those sites :(

[12:08] <cretsiah> !aptget
[12:08] <cretsiah> aaww dam it
[12:08] <Pirate_Hunter> cretsiah: stop playing with the bot it is apt-get
[12:09] <cretsiah> yeh but my apt-get keeps breaking
[12:09] <Pirate_Hunter> !apt-get
[12:09] <cretsiah> ok ty
[12:09] <cretsiah> !apt-get
[12:09] <bazhang> cretsiah, paste sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com

[12:09] <Pirate_Hunter> cretsiah: what do you mean it keeps breaking? please explain in detail
[12:10] <mduara> any help about setting crontab
[12:10] <hateball> mduara: What do you need to do with it?
[12:11] <mduara> i set it to run my script but after time reached as i set i dont see any effects
[12:11] <shah> Pirate_Hunter, hmm, atleast tell me whats the format of /etc/network/interfaces
[12:12] <hateball> mduara: Is the script chmod +x ?
[12:12] <erUSUL> shah: "man interfaces"
[12:12] <cretsiah> just that .....i tried using ubuntu and linux mint (derivative of ubuntu) but when i use the apt-get i get on to it once (usually for updates) then when i find a program i'd like to use it says either A) apt-get is currently in use by another application or hangs
[12:12] <mduara> hateball, yes it is executable
[12:12] <bazhang> cretsiah, this is with mint?
[12:12] <mduara> hateball, i can run it manually
[12:12] <cretsiah> yup ive tried with mint 3 4 and 5 as well as ubuntu
[12:12] <bazhang> cretsiah, using mint now? that is the issue?
[12:13] <cretsiah> debian channel told me to come here
[12:13] <hateball> mduara: Is it in the $PATH of the user you're running it as, or do you use the full path?
[12:13] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: I cant tell you I would have to show it to you and you'll need a browser for that, so we can do this manually which would be a pain for you or we could do it with X if you want, eitherway its your choice
[12:13] <cretsiah> no i gave up on it for awhile but i like mint very much currently on puppy (i seem to have less issues with it )
[12:13] <bazhang> cretsiah, you are using mint now?
[12:14] <mduara> hateball # m h  dom mon dow   command PATH=/home/others: 10 14 * * * /home/others/synch.sh
[12:14] <Pirate_Hunter> bazhang: if he is ban him for being here
[12:14] <cretsiah> i would like to reinstall mint but i am on puppylinux right now
[12:14] <bullgard4> What is the reason that one Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer has got a process acpid but another Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer not? Both are using ACPI.
[12:14] <mduara> hateball, that is how it look like
[12:14] <bazhang> Pirate_Hunter, he seems to be on puppy
[12:15] <myron> should pam_unix entries be in syslog by default?
[12:15] <hateball> mduara: It doesnt seem like you've specified a user to run it as?
[12:15] <shah> Pirate_Hunter: i'll try on my own using "man interfaces" if that wont help.. i'll reach u, with X.. :)
[12:15] <bazhang> cretsiah, best to get www.ubuntu.com the real thing and we will help; mint is not supported here
[12:16] <mduara> hateball, how to specify it
[12:16] <cretsiah> id like to be running mint .........can u still get the lower versions of ubuntu??? dont like gnome or 8.04
[12:16] <bazhang> cretsiah, btw, your problem is that you have two apt programs open at the same time; close one and try again
[12:16] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: we can do eitherway im just trying to make your life easier "as long as you know you dns server, d gateway, current ip address, subnet mask etc" im all good to go but yeah you could try following man pages
[12:16] <bazhang> cretsiah, well then you need to ask in mint support channels; ie not here.
[12:17] <cretsiah> even when i try closing 1 the other doesnt show up any where for it to be closed and it happens even with a reboot
[12:17] <mduara> hateball, the current user is others and it is there on the path
[12:17] <cretsiah> even in ubuntu
[12:17] <Imperion> why am I getting this error message?
[12:17] <Imperion> apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[12:17] <bazhang> mint is offtopic here cretsiah
[12:17] <shah> Pirate_Hunter: i know all those stuff; tell me
[12:17] <cretsiah> yeh ok but ubuntu does the same thing
[12:18] <bazhang> cretsiah, once you have it installed then come back and we will help
[12:18] <dejavou42> should I have entries such as Pam_unix in syslog by default?
[12:18] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: ok lol
[12:18] <cretsiah> <fine ubuntu seems as bad as windows will not be back.......i had the real thing "UBUNTU" SAME PROBLEM
[12:19] <hateball> mduara: well a correct one would look like:  * * * * * root /path/to/file. Where root is the username you want... that'd be all
[12:19] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: give me a sec so i can look at my files as well
[12:19] <shah> Pirate_Hunter: ok
[12:20] <mduara> hateball let me set and i will let u know
[12:20] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: have you got interfaces open? if so remove iface eth0 inet dhcp and add iface eth0 inet static in its place
[12:21] <Imperion> why am I getting this error? apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[12:22] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: here are the examples what you must add underneath it - address <IP_ADDRESS>, netmask <IP_ADDRESS>, gateway <IP_ADDRESS> and optional if it applies to you - network <IP_ADDRESS>, broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:22] <Pirate_Hunter> shah, change those to represent your settings
[12:23] <stevemccarthy> hey all

[12:24] <bazhang> very easy stevemccarthy
[12:25] <stevemccarthy> alright great thanks
[12:25] <shah> Pirate_Hunter: i hav written on paper all these :) coz im on dual boot
[12:27] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: save file, now lets go add dns servers also to /etc/resolv.conf
[12:28] <shah> Pirate_Hunter> i hav to reboot, to save that, as i already said im on other distro
[12:28] <craigbass1976> Hello:>
[12:28] <Pirate_Hunter> shah, this file is pretty simple they way it is i.e. nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> remove the current ip and add the correct nameserver "one per each line"
[12:28] <Pirate_Hunter> shah: youre not really helping here, at least right it down
[12:29] <shah> Pirate_Hunter> yep writing :)
[12:29] <shah> Pirate_Hunter> Done!

[12:31] <mduara> hateball, am back and it is not working
[12:31] <sledgeas> bazhang: !remaster does not contain any nice GUI to work with (reconstructor seemed nice, and it supports 8.04 -- but i have questions about that reconstructor)
[12:31] <shah> Pirate_Hunter> i hav got enough info till now, thank u im gonna try this by rebooting .. brb
[12:31] <bazhang> sledgeas, uck does
[12:31] <needhelp> Hi, my sound does not work. 'aplay -l' finds the soundcard, but there is no sound output
[12:31]  * Pirate_Hunter why dont ppl ever wait to get all the info and read personal suggestion *sigh*
[12:32] <sledgeas> bazhang: I'm working with alternate cd, uck curses on it.. (i cannot use livecd, because i will be ssh'ing onto the installation from my box overseas)
[12:32] <ikonia> sledgeas: you can run sshd on the desktop livecd
[12:32] <ikonia> sledgeas: you don't need the alternative CD to run ssh
[12:33] <hateball> mduara: Well I dont know what could be wrong in your case... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38474/ is a copy paste from my /etc/crontab. You could compare it to yours. Does the job have to run as "others" ? If so you could add to the users crontab instead. I prefer using root in /etc/crontab personally
[12:34] <sledgeas> ikonia: but i need ssh to run a text-based setup, not that one on a GUI
[12:34] <ikonia> sledgeas: how do you plan to run the installer over ssh ?

[12:37] <stevemccarthy> i think its make uninstall
[12:37] <stevemccarthy> and you need to cd to that dir
[12:37] <karuna_bdc> stevemccarthy: ive removed the makefiles (im a n00b)
[12:37] <karuna_bdc> stevemccarthy: :(
[12:37] <stevemccarthy> can you re download the source?
[12:37] <needhelp> Hi, I can't get my sound to work! 'aplay -l' detects the soundcard, but there is no sound output
[12:37] <sledgeas> !lt
[12:38] <karuna_bdc> stevemccarthy: yeah i could
[12:38] <karuna_bdc> stevemccarthy: would it work then?
[12:38] <karuna_bdc> stevemccarthy: redownload reinstall and remove?
[12:38] <stevemccarthy> one would think so
[12:38] <Pirate_Hunter> needhelp: make sure the sound aint muted
[12:38] <dougsko> needhelp: make sure your volum is turned up. check it with 'alsamixer'
[12:38] <hateball> karuna_bdc: Not all sources come with a uninstall script
[12:38] <needhelp> Pirate_Hunter: I did turn on all volumes in alsamixer
[12:38] <karuna_bdc> hateball: oh dammmmm, then what do i do? delete the files individually?
[12:39] <needhelp> dougsko: see message for Pirate_Hunter

[12:39] <Mattz> Hey all, Having trouble with the 8187 chipset network card on my ASUS P5W DX mobo under Hardy and after having browsed through the archives for older releases, it seems the best solution is to use ndiswrapper to run the Win98 drivers. My question is can I still use WPA if I use this setup?
[12:39] <stevemccarthy> karuna_bdc: if you are as lazy as me you might just want to remove it from the gnome menu
[12:40] <sledgeas> ikonia: so you suggest me to remaster liveCD so it has ssh and put a vnc server there?
[12:40] <karuna_bdc> ah well i have to go now thanks everyone!
[12:40] <hateball> karuna_bdc: Yea. using locate or find it's quite easy
[12:40] <ikonia> sledgeas: no - run the ncurses setup from the livecd
[12:41] <sledgeas> and why would that be impossible with the alternate one?
[12:41] <dougsko> needhelp: does anything play sound, like mplayer or something?
[12:41] <sledgeas> (which i have already downloaded the .iso through hard time :))
[12:41] <Flynsarmy> anyone know what cation-daemon/notification-daemon means when i type ps ux | grep cat?
