[02:57] <Elijah> bazhang, no, it is a memorex mp3 player
[02:57] <Fryguy--> sargento: i'm not an expert at all, I barely know anything about linux
[02:58] <bazhang> Elijah, what software are you using to access it
[02:58] <mib> bazhang, could you help to point me how can i update packages in ubuntu for R
[02:58] <Averros> Oh, speaking of MP3 players, is there a good program for putting songs on my IPod?
[02:58] <orbisvicis> Averros, most of us here didnt write compiz or make emerald themes ; )
[02:58] <Fryguy--> Averros: amarok or gtkpod
[02:58] <bazhang> mib, check in synaptic package manager
[02:58] <sargento> FryGuy: Thanks for your time anyway, do you know other channel where I can try to get an answer
[02:58] <Fryguy--> sargento: no
[02:58] <mib> bazhang: ya..i check that..but the R version reflected is still old
[02:59] <ImperfectLink> bbiab
[02:59] <Elijah> bazhang, no software on windows, and just ubuntus explorer
[02:59] <Averros> Orb: No, but without you guys to point me in the right direction I may have taken a long time to figure it ouyt
[02:59] <bazhang> Elijah, explorer?
[02:59] <LLMP> sorry but i also want to know how could i make my desktop transparent the window?
[02:59] <qman__> I think Elijah means nautilus
[02:59] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone know how to feed what is in their headphones, into a screencast recording?
[03:00] <bazhang> LLMP, you mean with compiz?
[03:00] <mib> bazhang, i choose that packages and redo Mark all Upgrades but still the same
[03:00] <Fryguy--> LLMP: use compiz, install compizconfig-settings-manager if you need more fine grained control. if you are looking specifically for transparency, check out transset

[03:01] <mib> but i check from their homepage , it has 2.7
[03:01] <ANA> HELP
[03:01] <bazhang> !webcam | ana
[03:01] <ikonia> mib: ok, so the 2.7 version is not package for ubuntu at this time

[03:01] <flakrat> can anyone recommend a better digital camera photo importer / manager than fspot for Ubuntu 8.x?
[03:01] <ikonia> mib: not a high priority package
[03:02] <mib> i can install that from the homepage and untar it..but it might overlapp previous package
[03:02] <ikonia> mib: not enough maintainers
[03:02] <ikonia> mib: yes, it will put your package manager out of sync
[03:02] <mib> ikonia, so is there any command line so that package manager knows
[03:02] <Storrgie> how do i setup default programs to access media, such as DVD's and .ts files?
[03:02] <LLMP> and where is a good place to learn linux as i started last night? and is there always a work around to get window programs installed?
[03:02] <ikonia> mib: you'd have to package it up yourself
[03:02] <ikonia> mib: or log a request to have it updated in the ubuntu repos
[03:02] <Fryguy--> LLMP: use wine to run windows programs, and google is great for learning more about linux, just search for stuff and read
[03:03] <mib> okie.

[03:03] <ubunubi> my samba share is never available unless i manually restart the samba daemon. the share is a mountpoint in fstab -- is it possible the share isn't being mounted by the init system until after samba has launched? is there a way to correct this?
[03:03] <LLMP> Becasue i am starting my first year of college and maybe i need to download things for example i had to install a lplugin for ALEKS and i figure out a way to get it to work
[03:03] <mib> where can i log the request?

[03:06] <Fryguy--> M32k8: apache, lighthttpd, or ngninx
[03:06] <ikonia> M32k8: but you don't need the ubuntu server release to run an apache webserver
[03:06] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, ikonia oh sweet
[03:07] <M32k8> I have the server release because i am running a server off of a p3 1ghz system with 512mb ram
[03:07] <orbisvicis> good point
[03:08] <M32k8> i just tried the apt-get install apache and i get this
[03:08] <orbisvicis> M32k8, apache2
[03:08] <Fryguy--> !pastebing | M32k8
[03:08] <ikonia> M32k8: again the desktop version may suit you better

[03:08] <demfrax> anyone know of any games such as command and conquer for ubuntu?
[03:08] <Fryguy--> demfrax: command and conquer will run in linux
[03:09] <demfrax> it will?
[03:09] <demfrax> without wine
[03:09] <bazhang> demfrax, warzone 2100
[03:09] <orbisvicis> demfrax, springTA totally
[03:09] <Fryguy--> demfrax: no
[03:09] <M32k8> thanks it's installing now
[03:09] <demfrax> how gooed is it with wine?
[03:09] <Fryguy--> demfrax: why does it have to run without wine
[03:09] <M32k8> does apache2 support php
[03:09] <Fryguy--> demfrax: should be fine
[03:09] <Fryguy--> M32k8: yes
[03:09] <M32k8> Good
[03:09] <demfrax> i was just wondering if there were some games made specifically for ubuntu, but thanks
[03:09] <orbisvicis> M32k8, mod_php or fast-cgi
[03:09] <M32k8> i need the php support for my WoW server i am running now
[03:10] <Fryguy--> M32k8: i suggest you do some reading about webservers and php and configuration before you get yourself into a big hole
[03:10] <M32k8> I am only hosting 1 page thats all
[03:10] <Fryguy--> M32k8: since it seems this is your first time being exposed to webservers
[03:10] <Fryguy--> M32k8: ok
[03:10] <c01100011> very light weight media center application recomendations ?   not happy with elisa or sofa
[03:10] <AlphaXero> whats a good flash player for FF that wont crash it
[03:10] <AlphaXero> ?
[03:11] <Fryguy--> AlphaXero: flashplugin-nonfree works fine
[03:11] <orbisvicis> M32k8, starters, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[03:11] <M32k8> it's just a account creation page for my World Of WarCraft Server
[03:11] <bazhang> !info mediatomb
[03:11] <AlphaXero> FF seems to crash often for me and i think its due to flash non-free
[03:11] <GOTFrogqc> Hi, Im having issues with my 3rd HD witch since my windows installation craped on me I can't mount it in ubuntu anymore
[03:11] <Fryguy--> AlphaXero: i've used firefox with flashplugin-nonfree with no issues
[03:11] <orbisvicis> AlphaXero, might be due to the flash-pulseaudio slight issues
[03:12] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: sounds like hardware failure
[03:12] <Storrgie> I am trying to play a DVD 'in bruges' with VLC, but it wont open the disk of play any of the vob files, has anyone rented this disk yet?
[03:12] <AlphaXero> thats not currently install orbisvicis do i need it?
[03:13] <orbisvicis> AlphaXero, libflashsupport? you dont need it, but if its crashing and you think its flash, you can try it
[03:13] <AlphaXero> k
[03:14] <AlphaXero> ok its installed now. FF and opera have been very crashy for me
[03:14] <AlphaXero> i hope that does it
[03:14] <GOTFrogqc> Fryguy: I don't see why, my ubuntu is on 1 drive, my windows is on an other (witch wont get in windows after pretty much trying everything), but the 3rd HD witch has got all my data wont mount
[03:14] <AlphaXero> Lolz i already crashed FF again... grey window
[03:15] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: i misunderstood you, you said "my windows installation crapped on me" and "i can't mount it in ubuntu anymore"
[03:15] <M32k8> Umm one last question
[03:15] <M32k8> nevermind
[03:15] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: so why can't you mount the drive in ubuntu
[03:16] <bobertdos> AlpphaXero: What version of FF are you using? Is it Ubuntu's version or Mozilla's?
[03:16] <bobertdos> AlphaXero: What version of FF are you using? Is it Ubuntu's version or Mozilla's?
[03:16] <GOTFrogqc> Fryguy: I get unable to mount the Volume "*"
[03:16] <orbisvicis> firefox crashes on me all the time
[03:16] <orbisvicis> like every **10 sec
[03:16] <orbisvicis> thats why i use opera
[03:17] <kevinO> hello how do i get my remote control to do system commands?
[03:17] <Fryguy--> i wonder what you guys are doing to cause firefox to crash to much
[03:17] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: what drive/partition is it (what device in /dev)
[03:17] <orbisvicis> kevin__, what type of remote control
[03:17] <bobertdos> I wonder the same thing.
[03:17] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, whish i knew
[03:17] <orbisvicis> *-h
[03:17] <bazhang> too many addons no adblock plus too many flash tabs most likely
[03:17] <GOTFrogqc> Fryguy: how do i check that?
[03:18] <bobertdos> Also, GOTFrogqc, when you say your Windows installation "crapped out" what does that mean, exactly?
[03:18] <Fryguy--> see /etc/fstab, df, or fdisk -l
[03:18] <orbisvicis> no no, i can delete all profiles + settings, open 1 tab, type 192.168 .. then crash ; (
[03:18] <Deecodeuh> So if Firefox 3 is in Hardy, is Firefox 3 in any previous releases of Ubuntu?
[03:18] <orbisvicis> kevin__, my bad
[03:18] <Fryguy--> Deecodeuh: no
[03:19] <orbisvicis> kevinO, what type of remote
[03:19] <Fryguy--> Deecodeuh: considering it was just released a few weeks ago, it's not really possible for it to be
[03:19] <orbisvicis> here: ** (firefox:11392): WARNING **: Exception in gr::RangeSegment
[03:19] <orbisvicis> seg fault
[03:19] <Deecodeuh> Fryguy: Why does Ubuntu do that? Firefox 3 has been in the testing repos for Arch for months now.
[03:19] <orbisvicis> !! yay
[03:20] <Fryguy--> Deecodeuh: policy, and what you were running in the testing repo was alpha/beta versions of firefox
[03:20] <GOTFrogqc> I was doing a registry clean up absent minded and when I rebooted the day after it gets the the window loading page and crashes, tryed loading with last good config, repairing it, wont even load in safe mode
[03:20] <orbisvicis> bot: sarcasm
[03:20] <Deecodeuh> Fryguy: Yea, I guess...
[03:21] <kevinO> orbisvicis, i have the microsoft mce remote and reciever, i beleve it is working, i type irw and it as output, i just dont know what to do now
[03:21] <bobertdos> GOTFrogqc: So as I understand it, the last time you were in Windows, it crashed, right?
[03:21] <GOTFrogqc> yeah
[03:21] <bazhang> !windows
[03:22] <Averros> Hmm, I cannot seem to get Compiz and Emerald Theme manager to work..... Does anyone have a link to a howto?
[03:22] <Averros> I found on google to follow and it didn't work
[03:22] <bobertdos> GOTFrogqc: The partition you can't mount, is it an NTFS partition?
[03:22] <orbisvicis> Averros, so what happens ?
[03:22] <Fryguy--> Averros: plenty of howtos here: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+compiz+emerald+theme+manager+howto&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[03:22] <Averros> orb: Nothing,
[03:23] <nmeless> averros: not emerald nor compiz runs at all?
[03:23] <orbisvicis> Averros, orbisvicis (so i can see you, tab complete) .. need more details
[03:23] <GOTFrogqc> yes it is, needs to be since i use it for both windows and linux
[03:24] <xis> Boa noite.
[03:24] <xis> Alguem do Brasil?
[03:24] <Fryguy--> !brasil | xis
[03:24] <Averros> orbisvicis,  Compiz runs and I have the icon and I can go into the theme manager but it isn't doing anything when I click on the theme.
[03:24] <Fryguy--> !pt | xis
[03:24] <orbisvicis> ok i have never seen so many boa noite before ?
[03:24] <ce_butuh> jablay,,,,,,,,,
[03:24] <xis> :)
[03:24] <Averros> orbisvicis, I am taking a look through some how-to's let me see if I can figure out what I did wrong
[03:25] <m23k8> hey one last question
[03:25] <xis> Tks!
[03:25] <webmasteroy> hello?
[03:25] <Fryguy--> !welcome | webmasteroy
[03:25] <m23k8> where does apache2 put it's index files
[03:25] <Billlll> ahh okay
[03:25] <Fryguy--> m23k8: what "index" files
[03:25] <bobertdos> GOTFrogqc: The that's exactly why you're having trouble mounting.
[03:25] <chris_> hello everyone
[03:26] <m23k8> i mean the root dir for it so i know where to place my index.php and images
[03:26] <pw-toxic> hi
[03:26] <GOTFrogqc> but it was mounting no problems before
[03:26] <chris_> Can anyone assist me in my problem, im a total newbie to ubuntu.
[03:26] <Fryguy--> m23k8: /var/www by default. see /etc/apache2/*.conf if you want to change stuff
[03:26] <webmasteroy> I am having trouble setting up the mailserver's on my network, rogers.  Is this impossible or do I change the ports?
[03:26] <Fryguy--> !anyone | chris_
[03:26] <m23k8> ok
[03:26] <pw-toxic> i',m currently working on my notebook running a solution of 1400*1050, but i have a 2nd monitor, where i want to expand my desktop like windows xp dual view.  is this possible? and how
[03:26] <webmasteroy>  I am having trouble setting up the mailserver's on my network, rogers.  Is this impossible or do I change the ports?
[03:26] <webmasteroy>  I am having trouble setting up the mailserver's on my network, rogers.  Is this impossible or do I change the ports?
[03:26] <webmasteroy>  I am having trouble setting up the mailserver's on my network, rogers.  Is this impossible or do I change the ports?
[03:26] <FloodBot1> webmasteroy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:27] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: running servers is against most ISPs terms of service, and some take active measures to stop you from doing it, like blocking ports
[03:27] <Billlll> running this by you guys, but I don't need to isntall a windows driver application for a wireless card because ti wouldn't work anyways, all i need to do is isntall the wireless card into ubuntu and see what happens =P
[03:27] <bobertdos> GOTFrogqc: When Windows does not terminate properly, Linux still interprets the NTFS partitions as busy, because they were never marked idle when Windows shut down.
[03:27] <Billlll> ubuntu might have driver already installed for wireless card
[03:27] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: check out ntfsfix
[03:27] <webmasteroy> so you can't use a ubuntu server for testing on a home location?
[03:27] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: sure you can
[03:27] <webmasteroy> you have to pay 100$/a month minimum for this stuff?
[03:27] <GOTFrogqc> bobertdos: is there a way to fix that?
[03:28] <chris_> i just installed ubuntu. i installed the drivers for my graphjics card (7600gt) and then i restarted my system and everything appeared to be working fine untill i rebooted again. upon start up my resolution was cahnged from 1680 X 1050 to 600 X 480 (making everything giant on my 22') and when i try to change the resolution it wont list 1680 X 1050
[03:28] <GOTFrogqc> Fryguy: will do
[03:28] <Billlll> running this by you guys, but I don't need to isntall a windows driver application for a wireless card because ti wouldn't work anyways, all i need to do is isntall the wireless card into ubuntu and see what happens =P
[03:28] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: i just explained the whole situation to you, what is the problem
[03:28] <Fryguy--> !repeat | Billlll
[03:28] <bobertdos> GOTFrogqc: You can always use the terminal to try and mount them by force.
[03:28] <GOTFrogqc> how do I do that?
[03:28] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: mount -f
[03:28] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: or just use ntfsfix
[03:28] <webmasteroy> how do you test your scripts that use php's mail command then on a home server testing server?
[03:28] <CaTeIM> Bem.. sou novo por aqui e sou tb mais um que precisa de ajuda!
[03:29] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: same way you do any other testing
[03:29] <pw-toxic> im looking for a cool ftp client for ubuntu
[03:29] <chris_> can anyone walk me through this so i can have the proper resolution ?
[03:29] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: care to ask a more specific question, or share with us a specific problem you are having that hasn't already been addressed?
[03:29] <CaTeIM> Como faço para instalar o FF 3 final?
[03:29] <bobertdos> GOTFrogqc: The option should be -f. You can do it Fryguy's way too. At least one way should do it.
[03:29] <webmasteroy> yes but what if your ISP blocks the mail server ports?
[03:29] <CaTeIM> Já baixei ele
[03:29] <m-c> Q: seen this error in dmesg before? "ata4.00 failed to IDENTIFY"  - I think I may have lost a hard drive.  http://pastebin.ca/1064284
[03:29] <webmasteroy> how do you switch the ports on the mail server if this is even possible?
[03:29] <chris_> >	i just installed ubuntu. i installed the drivers for my graphjics card (7600gt) and then i restarted my system and everything appeared to be working fine untill i rebooted again. upon start up my resolution was cahnged from 1680 X 1050 to 600 X 480 (making everything giant on my 22') and when i try to change the resolution it wont list 1680 X 1050
[03:29] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: then you can only send local mail, or you can try to get around it by running smtp on a port other than 25, and probably get your account terminated because of it
[03:29] <m23k8> can someone test something for me and tell me what they get
[03:30] <ce_butuh> hi.
[03:30] <afallenhope> hey I have an issue.. I can't run GEANY as root.. I used to beable to but now I can't I get the following message: /usr/bin/geany: /usr/bin/geany: cannot execute binary file
[03:30] <Fryguy--> !anyone | m23k8
[03:30] <chris_> no one can help me?
[03:30] <CaTeIM> Algum BRASILEIRO?
[03:30] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: can you run it as a normal user?
[03:30] <Fryguy--> !pt | CaTeIM
[03:30] <GOTFrogqc> will try I know mount -f didnt do anything
[03:31] <webmasteroy> so how would I recieve email locally? I am confused as I am new to this stuff
[03:31] <CaTeIM> Como conecto nele?
[03:31] <m23k8> Can someone goto http://<IP_ADDRESS> and tell me if they can view the webpage there or if it just askes if they want to download a file
[03:31] <webmasteroy> how do I know if the email has actually sent
[03:31] <bobertdos> chris_ Which drivers did you install??
[03:31] <afallenhope> Fryguy--,  yeah I can... but I need to use it as a superuser because I need to edit the files on my /var/www/ folder
[03:31] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: send mail to a local account.  You don't need to use the internet to do this, especially for testing purposes
[03:31] <chris_> i used the drivers that were recomended
[03:31] <chris_> i didnt actually download anything it all but installed them for me
[03:31] <msshams> what is your suggest for gnome? screenlets or gdesklets?
[03:31] <chris_> how can i check the drivers?
[03:31] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: what is the user:group on /var/www directory
[03:31] <orbisvicis> msshams, never gdesklets !
[03:31] <Fryguy--> msshams: try both and see which one you like more
[03:31] <bobertdos> chris_ Which were what? Where did you get them?
[03:32] <webmasteroy> so it would be something like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:32] <Fryguy--> msshams: they both exist for a reason
[03:32] <afallenhope> When I type: ls -h | grep geany I get the following: -rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    1440992 2008-02-12 09:06 geany
[03:32] <isleshocky77> I deleted a lib file by accident. What's the best way to get another copy of it?
[03:32] <webmasteroy> I would just set this up in my mail server as an email accoutn
[03:32] <Storrgie> I am using bridged ethernet with vmware, but my VM wont get an IP, my host OS is ubuntu and my guest OS is XP

[03:32] <Guest29846> hi, i can't hear any audio
[03:32] <afallenhope> Fryguy--, it's root.
[03:32] <Fryguy--> webmasteroy: sure I guess.  This is pretty far outside of the scope of this channel,  try the channel associated with whatever mail server you use
[03:32] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: i doubt it's root:root
[03:32] <afallenhope> Fryguy--,  it is
[03:32] <msshams> Fryguy--: can you clarify difference of these to me/.
[03:32] <msshams> ?
[03:32] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, how would gdesklets be advantageous ?
[03:32] <webmasteroy> never used and IRC chat before either sorry well thanks for your help see what happens
[03:33] <Fryguy--> strange, I'd recommend changing the group on the directory to something you can use so you don't have to unnecessarily use root all of the time
[03:33] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: no idea
[03:33] <orbisvicis> over screenlets
[03:33] <Averros> orbisvicis, Alright I figured out the problem... the visual effects had defaulted to off

[03:35] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: which is why i conveniently linked you to the pastebin so you would have a link to use
[03:35] <afallenhope> Fryguy--, I know don't worry about it
[03:36] <orbisvicis> m23k8, (and discontinued usednet service too, havent you heard ? ; \)
[03:36] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: i'd recommend chgrp to a user so you don't have to do everything as root
[03:36] <m23k8> no i didn't
[03:36] <afallenhope> !chgrp
[03:36] <higer> Do anyone know how to uninstall a sofeware in Ubuntu?
[03:36] <Fryguy--> m23k8: fios blocks port 80 unless you have a business level plan
[03:36] <Fryguy--> higer: use synaptic
[03:36] <orbisvicis> m23k8, well let me guess the only other provider in your region is comcast ?
[03:36] <Fryguy--> higer: or from the command line apt-get remove nameofpackagehere
[03:36] <m23k8> BrightHouse
[03:36] <vaportrailnew123> whats the shortcut to switch between workspaces?
[03:37] <Fryguy--> vaportrailnew123: ctrl-alt-left and right should work
[03:37] <ninefold> higer: what software are you uninstalling?
[03:37] <vaportrailnew123> thanks
[03:37] <mib> another thing ikonia/bazhang: how long does it takes for the bug report to be responded normally?
[03:37] <orbisvicis> m23k8, hmm ok, never heard of it. Anyway, with fios you should get a semi-fancy router, look at port-forwarding
[03:37] <m23k8> dang i need another beer
[03:37] <orbisvicis> m23k8, and when thats fixed, look into dyndns + ddclient
[03:37] <vaportrailnew123> just tried it and it didnt work
[03:38] <higer> ninefold:the software which I use "apt-get" command to install
[03:38] <Jester45> aa thats what my server is missing ddclient
[03:38] <afallenhope> Fryguy--, chown -hR user:group /file/path/parent-dir ?
[03:38] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: the fios router will do dyndns for you (if you are actually using the verizon router)
[03:38] <Jester45> thanks for the reminder orbisvicis
[03:38] <Fryguy--> afallenhope: sure
[03:38] <ninefold> higer: just type the same thing but instead of install type uninstall
[03:38] <orbisvicis> Jester45, np ;)
[03:38] <vaportrailnew123> whats the shortcut to switch between workspaces
[03:38] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, nice
[03:38] <eZe> if a harddrive doesn't show up with fdisk -l, it doesn't exist/can't be accessed, correct?
[03:38] <orbisvicis> vaportrailnew123, depending on some keyboard layouts the right alt might not actually be an alt key
[03:39] <vaportrailnew123> i used the left one though lol
[03:39] <Fryguy--> vaportrailnew123: compizconfig-settings-manager and just configure it to whatever you want
[03:39] <vaportrailnew123> never mind
[03:39] <vaportrailnew123> got it
[03:39] <Guest29846> anybody here can help me with my audio problem in feisty?

[03:40] <vaportrailnew123> how do i get to the compizconfig
[03:40] <higer> ninefold:Then,do you know what is the location when I install a software?

[03:45] <Rezagrats> For some reason the flash installer isn't working right on the "enter mozilla, netscape, or opera path" it says "/usr/lib/mozilla" isn't a valid path. what's the actual path ??
[03:46] <r16k> Hai, how do I use flash? kthx

[03:46] <spiritssight> Hello, I have a couple of issue when I run dmesg any help would be thankful
[03:46] <higer> What are the differences between ubuntu and kunbuntu or xubuntu?
[03:46] <Pici> !flavor | higer
[03:46] <Guest29846> yes, the volume has been turned up to the max, the driver is perfectly installed and i tried with various players like amarok, XMMS, rhythmbox etc
[03:46] <orbisvicis> Rezagrats, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/
[03:46] <Guest29846> yes, the volume has been turned up to the max, the driver is perfectly installed and i tried with various players like amarok, XMMS, rhythmbox etc | FryGuy
[03:47] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: analog or digital output
[03:47] <orbisvicis> m23k8, go to <IP_ADDRESS>/modules
[03:47] <Guest29846> im not sure, its the PC speaker
[03:47] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: find out
[03:47] <Guest29846> how do i find out?
[03:47] <pw-toxic> hey, if i click on the tab on the button of my desktop, the window disappears... is it possible to define a hotkey for this?
[03:48] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: look at the plug
[03:48] <Rezagrats> Orbisvicis: i just tried both, neither of them worked "WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path."
[03:48] <bobertdos> Fryguy: Geez, how long have you been here?? You've been answering stuff non-stop all day!
[03:48] <Fryguy--> bobertdos: i've been in here about 60 hours over the past 4 days
[03:48] <pw-toxic> Fryguy--: lol
[03:48] <orbisvicis> Rezagrats, then the problem most likely runs deeper, the ubuntu flash installer shouldnt ask you that
[03:48] <Guest29846> its a portable USB portable Pc speaker
[03:48] <Bora> NOKIA 3250 && Wammu? any way to get them connected.......
[03:48] <dal-work> hey all, anyone know of a simple way to set up an ftp server sharing a number of non-home directories (in this case subdirectories of various partitions mounted under /media) for users? about all I've found so far is ftp server programs that will give a user access to their home directory, in my case I dont' care whether the ftp server shares the hosts system's user list or not
[03:48] <bobertdos> Fryguy, you're insane or just very dedicated.
[03:48] <higer> !flavor higer
[03:48] <npope> ha this is going to seem silly but how do I tell if i installed 64bit version or 32bit version
[03:48] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: do you have a sound card in your computer as well
[03:48] <orbisvicis> Rezagrats, sudo updatedb;sudo locate -i libflashplayer.so
[03:49] <Fryguy--> bobertdos: i'm not dedicated to anything. i'm bored.  i don't even use ubuntu
[03:49] <Guest29846> FRyguy: I think so, yeah
[03:49] <Bora> any help for NOKIA and Wammu??
[03:49] <orbisvicis> dal-work, http://www.howtoforge.com/proftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting_debian_etch
[03:50] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: ubuntu is probably getting confused at having 2 sound cards then, and is trying to use the wrong one.  Go to the system menu under sounds and play around with mixer choices and stuff there until you get a configuration that works
[03:50] <Guest29846> Fryguy: Actually it works perfectly well on WIndows
[03:50] <Rezagrats> Orbisvicis: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
[03:50] <Guest29846> Fryguy: I tried all that
[03:50] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: that doesnt mean anything
[03:50] <ubunubi> is it possible to disable gnomevfs ?
[03:50] <orbisvicis> npope, uname -a
[03:51] <Guest29846> Fryguy: Btw i had the same problem earlier, previously when i installed this
[03:51] <dal-work> orbisvicis, ty, I hadn't considered tying in a db server to the whole thing, just assumed there would be either a ftp server that did all that that I just couldn't find or a way to get vsftpd or the others I'd tried to do that without external help, but ty I'll have a look at that :)
[03:51] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: then maybe ubuntu doesn't support your usb sound card.  Try googling for specific information about the usb sound card and speakers you are using
[03:51] <npope> orbisvicis: what am i looking for 32bit is i386 and 64bit id i686?
[03:51] <bobertdos> Fryguy-- Lol, boredom, there's no motivator quite like it.
[03:51] <zenwryly> Is it possible to write scripts that perform a set of actions in an application that only provides a gui?
[03:51] <orbisvicis> Rezagrats, what flash installer ?
[03:51] <Fryguy--> npope: no
[03:51] <orbisvicis> i686 = 32 bit npope
[03:51] <npope> thats what i thought
[03:51] <npope> what is 64bit then/
[03:51] <Rezagrats> Orbisvicis: the adobe one (comes in a .tar.gz archive..)
[03:52] <orbisvicis> npope, its better than i386 though be glad it upgraded
[03:52] <Fryguy--> npope: on standard desktop machines it is amd64
[03:52] <bobertdos> Fryguy-- So what distros DO you use?
[03:52] <npope> Linux linuxbox 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:52] <Fryguy--> bobertdos: windows
[03:52] <npope> so i am running 32bit?
[03:52] <beardbar> anyone know an all in one apache/mysql/php package that i can install from ubuntu desktop or do i need to install each one seperatly?
[03:52] <Guest29846> Fryguy: Nope. Actually everything is right. The last time i installed it i had the same problem and i got it fixed, but i dont know how
[03:52] <Fryguy--> npope: yes
[03:52] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, ? x86_64 = 64bit
[03:52] <npope> thank god
[03:52] <npope> thanks!
[03:52] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: sure
[03:52] <GOTFrogqc> Hi I'm back I have an other question, when I log I get this message
[03:52] <GOTFrogqc> User's $HOME/.drmc file is being ignored.  This prevents the default session and languageg from being saved.  File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions.  User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users.
[03:53] <Captainkidd> Alright is this REALLY necessary! Pop-up every five seconds telling me a graphics-card driver is working...
[03:53] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: delete ~/.dmrc and restart X
[03:53] <blind1> is  ubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso  broken? tried to burn it 2 times, and dvd check function always show 1 error. (boot and load fine)
[03:53] <orbisvicis> beardbar, the best way is individually, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[03:53] <bobertdos> Fryguy-- X-D You had me totally fooled. Hahaha!!
[03:53] <GOTFrogqc> Fryguy: how do I do it?
[03:53] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: rm ~/.dmrc
[03:53] <Guest29846> Fryguy: The last time this person asked me to paste some code and modify it, but now unfortunately, i don't remember
[03:54] <Fryguy--> bobertdos: why?
[03:54] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, my bad
[03:54] <orbisvicis> misread you
[03:54] <GOTFrogqc> how do i restart X
[03:54] <derek> how do I remotely start a gui app from ssh session?
[03:54] <Fryguy--> GOTFrogqc: ctrl-alt-backspace
[03:55] <Fryguy--> derek: use ssh -X
[03:55] <derek> ah ty
[03:55] <npope> damn Fryguy-- your fast
[03:55] <Fryguy--> derek: and make sure xauth is installed and working, you might need to export DISPLAY as well
[03:55] <Guest29846> Fryguy: Any idea?
[03:55] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: i've told you want to do, i have nothing else to add. sorry
[03:55] <derek> oh wait i have xdmcp enabled too
[03:56] <Fryguy--> derek: xdmcp is something different from X11 forwarding
[03:56] <bobertdos> Fryguy-- I assumed you had to be a hardcore Linux user for as much as you know :p
[03:56] <Fryguy--> bobertdos: i dont' really know anything about linux
[03:56] <derek> i know, but i can run a remote xdmcp session and run my gui app
[03:56] <Fryguy--> bobertdos: most of the stuff in this channel is either easily googlable, complete common sense, or something you learn within 1 week of usage in a *nix system.
[03:57] <blind1> anyone use  ubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso ?  may you run disc check? (maybe disc check function is broken?)

[03:58] <m23k8> hey fry you there now
[03:59] <Fryguy--> m23k8: no
[03:59] <m23k8> ok now tell me what you see at http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:59] <Fryguy--> m23k8: port 85?
[03:59] <m23k8> no
[03:59] <dal-work> orbisvicis, that link you posted seems to explain about half of what I need, but I also need the ftpuser to be able to access a number of directories in different spots on my filesystem (i.e. /media/hda2/stuff, /media/hdb5/more stuff, /media/sda1/other stuff), how would i go about allowing access to those directories without allowing access to the rest of my filesystem? I can't just grab everything from those dirs and put them in /home/ftpu
[03:59] <dal-work> ser due to disk space constraints
[03:59] <Fryguy--> m23k8: what port then, as we've already told you fios blocks port 80
[04:00] <m23k8> yea 85 my bad
[04:00] <orbisvicis> dal-work, try symlinks, i hope
[04:00] <Fryguy--> m23k8: nothing, lookings like apache is down, or you aren't forwarding the port
[04:00] <m23k8> hmm
[04:01] <dal-work> orbisvicis, k, not to sure about that either but I'll give it a shot, thanks again :)
[04:01] <blind1> what is option to boot livecd to memory?
[04:02] <orbisvicis> dal-work, i think: show symlinks, and define multiple <directory> directives
[04:02] <Guest29846> no audio gets played on ubuntu
[04:02] <m23k8> ok sorry i forgot that i changed the system name in my router

[04:05] <Fryguy--> !grub | RaPhAeLSL
[04:05] <m23k8> ok one last try
[04:06] <xtknight> Bradj479, have you tried executing it from the context of a terminal?  type "nexuiz" in the terminal program and watch for output
[04:06] <ziggy_> does any one know how i can make my linux look like an apple computer on the bottem ?
[04:06] <Guest29846> ok! so this is the case: i can hear the startup sound but i can't play any of the music files
[04:06] <m23k8> strange i can see it if i go <IP_ADDRESS>:85 but not if i go <IP_ADDRESS>:85
[04:06] <xtknight> ziggy_, ya you want the cool task selector thing?
[04:06] <orbisvicis> Bradj479, open nexuiz from the terminal, tell us the error
[04:06] <orbisvicis> and try the sdl and glx versions

[04:07] <Bradj479> Trying to load library... "libOffscreenGecko.so" "/usr/lib/games/nexuiz/libOffscreenGecko.so" - failed.
[04:07] <Bradj479> some failure
[04:07] <Guest29846> xtknight: i can hear the startup sound but i can't play any of the music files
[04:07] <xtknight> Bradj479, are you using i386 or x86_64 ubuntu?
[04:07] <Bradj479> x86
[04:07] <Bradj479> i think
[04:07] <ziggy_> how do i get my hands on avant windows navigator ?
[04:07] <orbisvicis> m23k8, your public ip changed. or your nortforwarding the right port. or you have a firewall. or apache is listening on a different port
[04:07] <JuJuBee> I just got done formatting my 400GB external drive ext3.  It used to auto mount as /media/400G  How do I make it so that happens again.  It is mounting as /media/disk
[04:07] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: it's in the ubuntu repositories, just use synaptic to install it
[04:07] <xtknight> Guest29846, okay.  gstreamer(an audio framework) is probably choosing the wrong driver.  go into system->preferences->Sound and look at the devices in there
[04:08] <xtknight> Bradj479, how did you install nexuiz?
[04:08] <Bradj479> from  the add/remove thing in the apps menu
[04:08] <xtknight> Bradj479, that's good.  give me a moment to see if it's a bug in the package
[04:09] <Bradj479> i played it once
[04:09] <xtknight> oh it hasnt worked ever since?
[04:09] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: synaptic package manager in the system menu.  Pretty straightforward process
[04:09] <Bradj479> no
[04:09] <Bradj479> just today
[04:09] <Bradj479> then i quit to send an email
[04:09] <Bradj479> when i tried starting it back up it wouldn't work
[04:09] <Guest29846> xtknight: YAh, there are two default mixer tracks -> ONe, is analog oss mixer and the other is Hda intel alsa mixer
[04:09] <xtknight> Bradj479, do you remember installing any web or email software, or firefox or gecko anything?
[04:09] <ziggy_> ok i'm in there
[04:10] <xtknight> Bradj479, (since it stopped working)_
[04:10] <Bradj479> no
[04:10] <Fryguy--> xtknight: he's using a usb sound card that isn't listed there
[04:10] <xtknight> Guest29846, look under Sound Playback
[04:10] <Guest29846> xtknight: no, its not a usb sound card
[04:10] <Bradj479> there was an annoying thing bouncing around my screen telling me to update to the next version
[04:10] <Bradj479> should i do that?
[04:10] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: you said earlier it was
[04:10] <xtknight> Guest29846, i want you to go to gnome-sound-properties and look under Audio conf->Sound playback
[04:11] <ziggy_> any thing perticular i'm looking for?
[04:11] <orbisvicis> Bradj479, did you reboot, in case its still running, and did you check that those files exist ?
[04:11] <xtknight> Bradj479, you can try updating before assuming errors
[04:11] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: you want to install avant window navigator right?
[04:11] <Bradj479> ok
[04:11] <xtknight> Bradj479, two packages may have gotten "out of sync"
[04:11] <ziggy_> yes ser i think thats it
[04:11] <Guest29846> Fryguy: SOrry, i said it was a PC speaker connected through the USB
[04:11] <xtknight> hmmm
[04:12] <xtknight> wha???
[04:12] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: connected through usb = usb sound card
[04:12] <comodo> i installed kubuntu the other day because i mistakenly downloaded it instead of ubuntu so instead of correcting my own problem a and downloading ubuntu i just installed ubuntu-desktop through apt-get
[04:12] <coil> is there resize2fs, tune2fs on ubntu 8.04 livecd
[04:12] <comodo> now can anyone tell me if i can get rid of kubuntu-desktop now that i have ubuntu
[04:12] <Guest29846> xtknight: sorry, but where is gnome-sound properties?
[04:12] <Mana|Ubuntu> Anyone here know how to set up dual monitors (I have an 8800GTS)? I used envy and nvidia-settings, and I can see stuff at the proper resolutons on both monitors, but when I maximize stuff, I want it to just show up on the main monitor, and I only want my desktop on one monitor.
[04:12] <Fryguy--> comodo: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[04:12] <xtknight> Guest29846, SYstem->Preferences->Sound
[04:12] <xtknight> Guest29846, or type gnome-sound-properties in the terminal
[04:13] <coil> is there resize2fs, tune2fs on ubntu 8.04 livecd
[04:13] <xtknight> Mana|Ubuntu, use twinview??
[04:13] <Mana|Ubuntu> I am
[04:13] <xtknight> Mana|Ubuntu, change the xinerama reporting mode, it is in the x configuration manual for NVIDIA Driver.  i will link it
[04:13] <orbisvicis> coil, might be, but look slike you might prefer parted magic
[04:13] <coil> parted magic?
[04:13] <Fryguy--> Mana|Ubuntu: that's a function of the window manager you use.  Take a look at compizconfig-settings-manager to see if it has an option for configuring that, otherwise you'll have to use another window manager (or many play around with xinerama settings in X11 since compiz should be xinerama-aware)
[04:13] <coil> gparted?
[04:13] <orbisvicis> coil, no, live cd
[04:14] <Guest29846> xtknight: Yah, Done! the default mixer is HDA Intel (ALSA mixer)
[04:14] <orbisvicis> coil, http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php
[04:14] <Guest29846> xtknight: When i press test, no sound gets playbacked
[04:14] <Mana|Ubuntu> compizconfig-settings-manager isin't a command :|
[04:14] <Fryguy--> Mana|Ubuntu: so install it
[04:14] <Mana|Ubuntu> oh righ
[04:14] <xtknight> Mana|Ubuntu, TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder at   http://us.download.nvidia.com/solaris/1.0-9755/README/appendix-d.html
[04:14] <ziggy_> Win32 audio/video plugin for libavifile
[04:14] <ziggy_> This package provides a plugin for the avifile library to compress
[04:14] <ziggy_> and decompress audio/video streams with the help of Win32 (i386)

[04:15] <Guest29846> xtknight: DO you want me to check any other properties?
[04:15] <xtknight> Mana|Ubuntu, sorry i meant NoTwinViewXineramaInfo
[04:16] <xtknight> Guest29846, change the mixer
[04:16] <xtknight> Guest29846, or the device..and press test again
[04:16] <Fryguy--> xtknight: the device isn't listed
[04:16] <xtknight> Guest29846,  or, this is a usb sound card, and it's not listed?  check "asoundconf list" as well
[04:16] <s3a> for my signature in ubuntuforums how can i make a small word link to a website?
[04:16] <Guest29846> xtknight: Tried, that too.... all possible variations. tried using headphones too
[04:17] <xtknight> if not then i guess it needs drivers :|
[04:17] <CodddEr> i want to install ubuntu on pc that have windows now , so where to create the partition and after D , before C , or between C and D ?
[04:17] <Fryguy--> lol xtknight try listening to me next time, i informed you of this a while ago lol
[04:17] <xtknight> Fryguy--, hehe i know
[04:17] <xtknight> i have a one track mind and must get one message out before thinking
[04:17] <Chaotic_Descent> since I installed some restricted drivers that include Flash playback codecs, Flash video files aren't being played in FireFox like they used to. How do I fix that?
[04:17] <Fryguy--> CodddEr: it doesn't matter, ubuntu will take care of it for you while installing
[04:17] <Guest29846> xtknight: It says names of available sound cards: Intel
[04:18] <AtomicSpark> i'm having kernal panics while installing ubuntu on an old sony laptop. i googled and found this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770575&page=2 anyways, how should i debug this? try noapci first?
[04:18] <MousyManatee> Anyone know what could be causing Ubuntu to shut down 47 secs after the mouse icon appears on screen?
[04:18] <CodddEr> Fryguy-- , i prefer to make my on my own with partition magic on windows ( bad expiriance with ubuntu creating )
[04:18] <kadallas> part
[04:18] <xtknight> Guest29846, type  "sudo lshw -C sound"  and please pastebin this
[04:18] <xtknight> !pastebin
[04:18] <Fryguy--> CodddEr: so then do that, and don't forget to create a swap partition
[04:19] <ziggy_> ok after installing it what do i have to do after words ?
[04:19] <CodddEr> Fryguy-- , but where to create it ?
[04:19] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: run it
[04:19] <Fryguy--> CodddEr: as i said in a previous message, it doesn't matter
[04:19] <CodddEr> ko
[04:19] <CodddEr> ok
[04:19] <ziggy_> does it work with compiz fushion?
[04:19] <orbisvicis> Guest29846, lsusb, modprobe snd-usb-audio, ?
[04:19] <mattjackets> my MBR got reclaimed by Windows, and can't seem to get the boot options right when trying to boot the kernel on /dev/sda2 from the cd.
[04:19] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: yes
[04:19] <CodddEr> Fryguy-- , primary or logic partition ?
[04:20] <Fryguy--> !grub | mattjackets
[04:20] <Fryguy--> CodddEr: again, doesn't matter
[04:20] <lowlux> i have for got to the command for admin...
[04:20] <CodddEr> ok and EXT2 or EXT3 ?
[04:20] <Fryguy--> lowlux: sudo
[04:20] <Guest29846> xtknight: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25565/
[04:20] <lowlux> thank you
[04:20] <Fryguy--> CodddEr: ext3 or reiserfs are the most common choices
[04:20] <xtknight> Guest29846, can you do a regular "sudo lshw" this time as well
[04:20] <Deecodeuh1> I like how our conversations are logged: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/07/07/%23ubuntu.txt
[04:20] <mattjackets> Fryguy: Thanks, but for now I just need to leave the MBR as is, and boot manually from the CD.
[04:21] <Guest29846> xtknight: yah, sure
[04:21] <lowlux> wine: /home/lowlux/.wine is not owned by you
[04:21] <Chaotic_Descent> Is there a way to find the Flash driver that got installed in the package I installed, so I can uninstall just the flash playback?
[04:21] <lowlux> huh
[04:21] <CodddEr> 9 GB partition and 1 GB swap are anought ?
[04:21] <ziggy_> how would i run it in terminal
[04:21] <Fryguy--> mattjackets: try booting from cd, mounting your filesystem and taking a look at menu.lst to see the boot line that grub was trying to use before?
[04:21] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, flash plugin is called flashplugin-nonfree if you're using ADobe Flash
[04:21] <xtknight> or 'gnash' or something if it's the free one
[04:21] <Fryguy--> CodddEr: sure, unless you need more information about hibernation
[04:22] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: thanks, I'll try that.
[04:22] <ziggy_> how would i run it in terminal
[04:22] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: type something like "avant-window-navigator" in the terminal
[04:22] <xtknight> ziggy_, click applications->accessories->terminal, and the name of the application
[04:22] <xtknight> (and enter)
[04:22] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: the application is probably in the applications menu already though, so just run it from there
[04:23] <Guest29846> xtknight: Here u go -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25567/
[04:23] <mattjackets> Fryguy: I did, and saw the link in /initrd.gz and the /vmlinuz link.  I tried using "vmlinuz initrd=/initrd.gz root=/dev/sda2 ro" and a few variations without success
[04:23] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> How do I upgrade 7.10 from a CD?
[04:23] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Can anyone give me some one-on-one?
[04:23] <Fryguy--> mattjackets: what did menu.lst use as a boot line
[04:23] <Fryguy--> !anybody | Linux_Is_For_Gan
[04:24] <orbisvicis> for how many people has the upgrade gone smoothly, and how much space did it eat ?
[04:24] <xtknight> Guest29846, hmm i'm not seeeing a usb sound card here.  only a modem and System Management bus, which don't sound like it
[04:24] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: sorry didn't see the first line.  Just put the 8.04 cd in and use the upgrade option
[04:24] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: what upgrade
[04:24] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Okay.
[04:24] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Upgrade from upgrade manager?
[04:24] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: sure
[04:24] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Aye aye.
[04:24] <Chaotic_Descent> damnit. firefox flash playback is broken. I uninstalled  flashplugin-nonfree and it still won't load them in firefox
[04:24] <orbisvicis> ubuntu X -> ubuntu Y
[04:24] <xtknight> Guest29846, i think sometimes modems are paired with sound but how exactly are you connecting this to your laptop, and what is it?
[04:24] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--,
[04:24] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: works fine most of the time
[04:24] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, i think that you want to uninstall gnash and install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:25] <xtknight> gnash doesnt work all that well, yet
[04:25] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Fryguy: Will a CD upgrade install anything?
[04:25] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Like, download.
[04:25] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: oh. I hadn't even heard of gnash.
[04:25] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: no idea
[04:25] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: probably not
[04:25] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> XD, okay.
[04:25] <xtknight> !gnash | Chaotic_Descent
[04:25] <kevin__> Does anyone know the name of the gstreamer codec needed to play mp4 video?
[04:26] <orbisvicis> xtknight, lsusb, (if nothing grep dmesg), then modprobe usb-snd-audio + lsmod
[04:26] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> How do I reinstall GRUB? Is it hard?
[04:26] <Chaotic_Descent> ... that's strange. I hadn't installed ANYTHING and Flash just played normally in FireFox. Since I installed drivers for playing MP3 and DVDs, it's buggered up.
[04:26] <xtknight> kevin__, i would install all the gstreamer0.10-plugins-* packages
[04:26] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> And is there a GUI?
[04:26] <Fryguy--> !grub
[04:26] <xtknight> orbisvicis, thx
[04:26] <Owner> hi
[04:27] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> fryguy: will one of those tell how to reinstall?
[04:27] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: gnash isn't even installed.
[04:27] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: yes
[04:27] <Guest29846> xtknight: no. i think i explained it wrongly, its the normal PC speakers. there's no USB sound cards. i tried replacing the speakers now with normal desktop speakers. it still dosent workand its not a laptop
[04:27] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, does flash appear if you type about:plugins in firefox address bar
[04:27] <xtknight> Guest29846, ah my mistake.  so how did you hook up the new speakers?  isn't it a minijack?
[04:28] <orbisvicis> anyone use salasaga ?
[04:28] <Fryguy--> !anyone | orbisvicis
[04:28] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: yes. Shockwave Flash   File name: libflashplayer.so   Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
[04:28] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: how many times have you seen me type that today, you should be learning by now
[04:28] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Anyone know how much/if anything upgrading to 8.04 from CD will install from 7.10?
[04:28] <Guest29846> xtknight: i dont know, in that port given behind the CPU
[04:28] <orbisvicis> dal-work, did you get it to work ?
[04:28] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, try closing every firefox window you have open, and then try a flash site.  sometimes flash just gets 'stuck'  it's still a bug
[04:28] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> (Sorry, fryguy.)
[04:29] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, what am i supposed to show, show of hands how many have used salasaga and think its good
[04:29] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: is it optical, digital coax, or a noraml headphone like jack
[04:29] <mattjackets> Fryguy: oh, do you have to use the UUID to specify the root?
[04:29] <orbisvicis> i was looking for overwhelming response
[04:29] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Will a 7.10 -> 8.04 upgrade d'load anything?
[04:29] <xtknight> Guest29846, can you give the model of the speakers or maybe where you got them from?
[04:29] <mardosdavidian> hello people
[04:29] <Chaotic_Descent> well I'm opening .swf files hosted on an imageboard. they're not embedded in a web page.
[04:29] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: absolutely
[04:29] <Fryguy--> mattjackets: no idea
[04:29] <xtknight> mattjackets, i thought it was backwards compatible
[04:29] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Tritium: what? How much?
[04:29] <ziggy_> Fry guy i installed libwnck-dev
[04:29] <ziggy_> Window Navigator Construction Kit - development files is this the one you where talking about
[04:30] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, close every firefox window you have open and try again?
[04:30] <tinin> hey what's the fastest way to transfer files in a LAN? smb, sftp...?
[04:30] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: no
[04:30] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: a few hundres megabytes
[04:30] <Fryguy--> tinin: netcat is the fastest method
[04:30] <Fryguy--> tinin: nfs and ftp are the fastest usable methods
[04:30] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Tritium: I'm upgrading from CD.
[04:30] <ziggy_>  avant-window-navigator
[04:30] <ziggy_>  i searched for this couldn't come up with anything
[04:30] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: many just search for avant
[04:30] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: even still, there have been several updates since 8.04 was released.
[04:30] <xtknight> !universe | ziggy_
[04:30] <mardosdavidian> can anyone here help me im trying iwpriv i keep getting iwpriv no private ioctls
[04:31] <erichammond> tinin: rsync works well, especially if you are copying files that have changed from the target and the network is slow.
[04:31] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> tritium: Oh, then I gotta wait till 12:00 midnight.  Hughesnet SUCKS.
[04:31] <orbisvicis> id guess the barest method, without authentication, but with decent tcp support to avoid blockages
[04:31] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, how do you use netcat that way ?
[04:31] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: if you have an 8.04.1 CD, it won't be too bad.
[04:31] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: I did that. it still won't work. Why is it not letting FireFox load the file? It's asking me what application I should open the file with.
[04:31] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> tritium: I have the cd, will it be over say, 150 mb?
[04:31] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: same way you'd use cat to transfer something from one file to another locally, except you have to use a pipe instead since the process on the other end is receiving
[04:32] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, i see.  because the server from whcih you're loading it is specifying invalid mime types, or something like that.
[04:32] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: which CD?  8.04, or 8.04.1?
[04:32] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, you need a standalone flash application to see them, or maybe you need to embed them in a webpage
[04:32] <dal-work> orbisvicis, sorry, got called away, actually still sorting out ports on the router atm
[04:32] <tinin> I need something easy, with the filemanager to transfer from one pc to a notebook
[04:32] <tinin> 60gb
[04:32] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> tritium: 8.04 I think.
[04:32] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> tritium: I got it from a friend.
[04:32] <Guest29846> fryguy: its normal the normal lenovo speakers
[04:32] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> tritium: how can I tell?
[04:32] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: why can't I load them in FireFox without proper mime types?
[04:32] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: Then it'll be a lot
[04:32] <Chaotic_Descent> wait... that doesn't make sense. they were loading fine before.
[04:32] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Aaahhhh
[04:32] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: netcat in listen mode on one machine, set to redirect output to a file, netcat in send mode on other machine, piped input from the file you want to transfer
[04:33] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, interesting. dont much about netcat, it automates the process of creating a port, a stream, + tcp packages ?
[04:33] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, mime types are given by the server.  you might be able to, i'm just not sure how.  something client side could also have been screwed up
[04:33] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: yes
[04:33] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> "You have to download a total of 791M." That's like, bigger than the OS.
[04:33] <tinin> is samba slower than nfs or sftp?
[04:33] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> tritium: hwo do I get 8.04.1?
[04:33] <Fryguy--> tinin: yes
[04:33] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, can you show me the setup, cli etc ?
[04:33] <Shoopuf> How can I go about asking someone to put a new NetBeans in the repository?
[04:33] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: no
[04:33] <tinin> :S
[04:33] <mardosdavidian> anyone know when i do the command iwpriv i get no private ioctls?
[04:33] <ziggy__> there is nothing under that fry guy i'm sorry ? any other suggestions
[04:34] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, i mean the netcat commands
[04:34] <Chaotic_Descent> I spent 2 @#$%ing hours last night trying to get MP3 and DVD to play in Ubuntu, and now I'm going to have to spend more hours to unbreak Flash playback. ARG!
[04:34] <Fryguy--> ziggy_: see the messages above about enabling extra repositories
[04:34] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: like i said, no
[04:34] <orbisvicis> oh : (
[04:34] <Chaotic_Descent> 2 hours, and getting two things to work makes another thing NOT work.
[04:34] <s3a> any1 no how to make a word be a link in a signature in ubuntuforums?
[04:34] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Can I get a walkthrough reinstalling GRUB?
[04:34] <Fryguy--> orbisvicis: the netcat i use is different than the netcat you have, so they wouldn't be of any use to you
[04:34] <tritium> Linux_Is_For_Gan: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/
[04:34] <ziggy__> no i don't i have to jump out of IRC
[04:34] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, it would be somewhere in /usr/share/mime, but honestly i dont know how to fix that ... something in  "locate -i mime | grep flash" that got modified.  if you give me a URL with just a swf i might be able to help you
[04:34] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows Is that page reinstalling GRUB?
[04:34] <Fryguy--> !grub | Linux_Is_For_Gan  (this IS a walkthrough)
[04:35] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Okay, okay.
[04:35] <ziggy__> so after i refresh i lost everything earler
[04:35] <orbisvicis> Fryguy--, np
[04:35] <binskipy2u> hey guys, is there a runtime level program like "bum" for ubuntu, for KDE?
[04:35] <Fryguy--> !universe | ziggy_
[04:35] <orbisvicis> finally got something to do
[04:35] <binskipy2u> to tweak startup services
[04:35] <Guest29846> fryguy: its normal the normal lenovo speakers
[04:35] <binskipy2u> or does BUM work on kde too?
[04:35] <m23k8> hey fry what do you see now at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:85
[04:35] <Fryguy--> binskipy2u: runtime happens before loading of X, let alone desktop managers, what exactly do you mean
[04:35] <m23k8> i think i got it now
[04:35] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Is reinstalling GRUB hard?
[04:35] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: i have no idea
[04:35] <binskipy2u> services
[04:35] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: uh... ok. I'll pick a small 300KB file. http://www.7chan.org/fl/src/FreeWill.swf
[04:35] <xtknight> m23k8, the site works for me. account name/password/email
[04:35] <Rat409> binskipy2u: ksysv
[04:35] <binskipy2u> disabling services you DONT need to run
[04:35] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: we've already told you, no. why do you keep asking the same questions over and over
[04:36] <m23k8> thanks
[04:36] <Guest29846> xtknight: its the normal speakers
[04:36] <binskipy2u> ksysv is installable thru synaptic?
[04:36] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Fryguy: Sorry, I didn't know anyone answered that.
[04:36] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, ya this loads for me in firefox directly. hmmm
[04:36] <Fryguy--> m23k8: please use my whole nickname if you want me to see it
[04:36] <m23k8> ohh ok
[04:36] <m23k8> sorry
[04:36] <Fryguy--> m23k8: and i see a login page for a warcraft site
[04:36] <eva_cute> hai
[04:36] <m23k8> thanks
[04:36] <m23k8> so it work
[04:36] <m23k8> WOO HOOO
[04:36] <m23k8> lol
[04:36] <FloodBot1> m23k8: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:36] <Chaotic_Descent> I'm going to look at the restricted drivers I installed yesterday and see if I can find the name of the Flash player that was in one of the packages. that's got to be the culprit.
[04:37] <Chaotic_Descent> Medibuntu
[04:37] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, it is flashplugin-nonfree, but that *shouldn't* have messed it up alone
[04:37] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> If I upgrade my 7.10 to 8.04 will it remake GRUB?
[04:37] <xtknight> hmmm
[04:37] <Rat409> binskipy2u: dunno nt familiar w/kubuntu these days,its also not as simple to use. rcsysv is ncusres and pretty similar overall
[04:37] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: you don't need to change grub at all to do that
[04:37] <Shoopuf> Did I do something wrong... When I first installed Ubuntu under "Hardware Drivers" it used to show my Nvidia card... It asked me to download yesterday but I had to cancel the download cause my Internet was too slow... Now I open "Hardware Drivers" again and my Nvidia card isn't showing up??
[04:38] <binskipy2u> thanks
[04:38] <xtknight> what populates  /usr/share/mime/application/
[04:38] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Fryguy: Linux mint jacked my GRUB.
[04:38] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight:  what else did I change... I was messing with proxies and Tor as well. *sigh*
[04:38] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> I need to get it back to Ubuntu's so I can remove Linux Mint.
[04:38] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Unless there's an easier way to remove Linux Mint.
[04:38] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: so then do that, upgrading ubuntu won't remake grub because it doesn't think it needs to
[04:38] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, maybe you want to do this  "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-mime-data"
[04:38] <xtknight> dunnno
[04:38] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: you've been given plenty of resources about grub, go do what you need to do
[04:39] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Fryguy: How can I remove Linux Mint then, without messing up GRUB?
[04:39] <Fryguy--> Linux_Is_For_Gan: you don't, you need to install grub again first
[04:39] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> That's what I thought.
[04:39] <Linux_Is_For_Gan> Aight. Thanks all!
[04:39] <Shoopuf> Did I do something wrong... When I first installed Ubuntu under "Hardware Drivers" it used to show my Nvidia card... It asked me to download yesterday but I had to cancel the download cause my Internet was too slow... Now I open "Hardware Drivers" again and my Nvidia card isn't showing up??
[04:39] <administrator> help
[04:39] <Fryguy--> !ask | administrator
[04:40] <bob3213243> What is the terminal shutdown command?
[04:40] <Fryguy--> bob3213243: shutdown -h now
[04:40] <Chaotic_Descent> hrm... there's an Ubuntu-restricted-extras I installed that includes Flash plugin... but I don't know how to find out the name of it.
[04:40] <Guest29846> Fryguy: what about headphones? They dont work either
[04:40] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, if you would, try tihs "sudo apt-get --reinstall install shared-mime-info mime-support gnome-mime-data"
[04:40] <Rat409> binarydigit: sorry confusion here its sysvcofig ncurses front-end
[04:40] <Fryguy--> Guest29846: i've told you numerous times already. I have no idea
[04:41] <Guest29846> Fryguy:  sorry
[04:41] <Rat409> /sysvcofig/sysvconfig darn keybd
[04:41] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: hrm... something else is using it. I can't do it. but I closed FireFox.
[04:41] <LSD|Ninja> Chaotic_Descent: restricted-extras is just a metapackage, fire up synaptic and search for flash. That should point you in the right direction
[04:41] <Guest29846> xtknight: hey, ny idea?
[04:41] <Chaotic_Descent> oh sorry. n/m. package manager was blocking it.
[04:41] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, close synaptic or wait for update manager to finish
[04:41] <s3a> is the channel for ubuntuforums #ubuntuforums?
[04:41] <Fryguy--> s3a: try it and see
[04:41] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, dpkg -s ubuntu-restricted-extras|grep Recommends
[04:41] <xtknight> that tells you the flash pkg
[04:42] <xtknight> Guest29846, sorry i simply dont know how you plugged in the speakers or what usb had to do with is.
[04:42] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: Couldn't find package gnome-mime-dat
[04:42] <xtknight> has to do with it
[04:42] <knx3r> hi all, can i install php4_ 4.3.4 on ubuntu 8.04?
[04:42] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, gnome-mime-data
[04:42] <Fryguy--> knx3r: apt-cache search php to see what is available
[04:42] <Guest29846> xtknight: forget the USB, i cant hear nything on the headphones either?
[04:42] <xtknight> Guest29846, do you mean the headphone jack NEAR the usb port??
[04:42] <Chaotic_Descent> ... woops. -_-;
[04:43] <xtknight> Guest29846, ok.
[04:43] <Shoopuf> How do I install GNOME icon packs? It is like a full suite of icons that will replace everything I think.
[04:43] <xtknight> Guest29846, i understand, but have no immediate solution for you
[04:43] <s3a> Fryguy--: its not it cuz i was the only user
[04:43] <Fryguy--> Shoopuf: under the appearances menu, there is an install theme button, just use that.  or put it into ~/.icons folder
[04:43] <Vic> does anyone know if the Kworld ATSC 120 is supported by Ubuntu 7.10?
[04:43] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight:  well that didn't fix it. did you want me to also run:  dpkg -s ubuntu-restricted-extras|grep
[04:43] <xtknight> Guest29846, open the sound properties and try to get your headphones to work by adjusting the audio playback settings.  if none of that works, you need to open gnome-volume-control and mess with the options in there
[04:44] <BeepII> Does Ubuntu 8.04 support graphics cards that are integrated into the motherboard?
[04:44] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, this didn't fix it? "sudo apt-get --reinstall install shared-mime-info mime-support gnome-mime-data"
[04:44] <Fryguy--> BeepII: yes
[04:44] <BeepII> Mine isn't recognizing my card I think. . .
[04:44] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: correct.
[04:44] <BeepII> I'm stuck in low graphics mode
[04:44] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, even after "killall firefox; killall firefox-bin" (restarting firefox) and then running Firefox again and going to the url?
[04:44] <Fryguy--> BeepII: what card is it
[04:44] <Guest29846> xtknight: i tried that. maybe the sound stuff was not installed properly? how do i check that?
[04:44] <BeepII> S3 Graphics unichrome pro Integrated Graphics core
[04:45] <Chaotic_Descent> ubuntu-restricted-extras is the ONLY package installed that comes up when I search for Flash under Synaptic Package MAnager.
[04:45] <BeepII> I've gone through the entire list of drivers and none worked
[04:45] <Fryguy--> BeepII: oh snap, that's old. I have no idea if that's supported, or even where to being to offer you advice.  Sorry.  Check google I guess :(
[04:45] <xtknight> Guest29846, type gnome-volume-control in the terminal
[04:45] <Chaotic_Descent> xtknight: no process killed. (because I closed it and restarted Firefox)
[04:45] <BeepII> lol.  Yeah, I reformatted a windows machine
[04:45] <Vic> does anyone know if the TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 12 is supported in Ubuntu 7.10?
[04:46] <xtknight> Vic, try to find the chipset of the card
[04:46] <BeepII> do you know what I might be looking for?
[04:46] <Vic> *120
[04:46] <Fryguy--> BeepII: probably something like "ubuntu s3 graphics card"
[04:46] <Vic> i think the tv tuner is by Connexant
[04:46] <BeepII> Ok, I'll try that.
[04:46] <BeepII> thanks
[04:46] <xtknight> Vic, or look at the biggest chip on the board and see what the name is...(or, potentially, any of the chips)
[04:46] <xtknight> hmm
[04:46] <iamalsotim> does the 64 bit hardy installer cd support installing to windows dynamic disks?
[04:47] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, "sudo update-mime-database"?  sorry dude im grasping for straws here.
[04:47] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, you might ask in #firefox
[04:47] <xtknight> or the one on irc.mozilla.org
[04:47] <Guest29846> xtknight: Except for line-in and microphone, everything else is high
[04:47] <xtknight> Guest29846, is there anything under the Switches tab
[04:47] <Vic>  Conexant CX23880 to be precise for the tv tuner
[04:48] <xtknight> iamalsotim, i don't believe ubuntu supports GPT partition tables, but that would be what you'd be looking for.
[04:48] <xtknight> a keyword at least
[04:48] <xtknight> im not really sure
[04:48] <Guest29846> xtknight: THere's no switches tab
[04:48] <Fryguy--> Vic: check these out: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+Conexant+CX23880+&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[04:48] <xtknight> iamalsotim, it would not if you were doing any sort of raid or redundancy on them
[04:48] <xtknight> thats the chip my card uses isnt it
[04:48] <xtknight> hmm
[04:48] <arooni-mobile> is there a program that's different than unison for keeping my /home/ folder in sync between laptop & desktop......   ?  unison seems not be working properly.
[04:48] <xtknight> Guest29846, enable everything when you go to edit preferences
[04:49] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: rsync, rdiff-backup work
[04:49] <xtknight> Vic, my cx23885 works
[04:50] <Vic> mines is CX23880
[04:50] <arooni-mobile> Fryguy--, whats better?
[04:50] <mattjackets> Fryguy: hmm....well, it looks like i can't read /dev/sda2 using the bootloader on the live cd.  guess I'll just reinstall grub (the IT guys are going love seeing that in the morning when they go to fix the windows install)  Thanks for your help
[04:50] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: try both and see which suits your needs better.  there's plenty of documentation on both
[04:50] <Fryguy--> !best | arooni-mobile
[04:50] <Guest29846> xtknight: Done all that. BUt how do i check if the sound packages i installed is right or wrong?
[04:50] <Chaotic_Descent> Usage: update-mime-database [-hvV] MIME-DIR
[04:50] <xtknight> Vic, i believe cx8800 supplies your model.  research it
[04:50] <arooni-mobile> Fryguy--, can i ask you which you prefer?
[04:51] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: i use both for different needs
[04:51] <Mrevox11> Hello everyone.
[04:51] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: i'm pretty sure that ubottu factoid was pretty clear....
[04:51] <xtknight> Chaotic_Descent, sorry then, my well's dry for tihs problem.  youre going to have to consult #firefox with your problem or ask here at another time
[04:51] <Mrevox11> Can someone Help me with some NDisWrapper problems?
[04:51] <Fryguy--> !anyone | Mrevox11
[04:51] <xtknight> i have no more suggestions
[04:52] <Shoopuf> Fryguy--: Thanks for the help... The icons worked. Can't believe how easy it is to change so many icons with just a few clicks and drags.
[04:52] <xtknight> Guest29846, ubuntu does tihs for you
[04:52] <arooni-mobile> Fryguy--,  there is no best;   but there is usually a favorite.... and thats what i was trying on establishing.  i dont want to use the less popular one (as it statistically won't be better for me)
[04:52] <Mrevox11> Well I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 and I installed Ndisgtk or something like that. And I have installed the driver and it lists my hardware as present in ndiswrapper. But I dont know how to activate it. Can someone help?
[04:52] <xtknight> Guest29846, there aren't really any sound things to install.  but have you tried all Mixer devices in  sound preferences?  i dont know if that will fix it
[04:52] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: the point is exactly the same.
[04:53] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: if you want to use the more popular one, go use windows... (see the logic there? and how it fails?)
[04:53] <Shoopuf> Guest29846: Not that this helps, but I've been unable to get Ubuntu to work with my onboard sound for a while... So I'm gonna go and grab a $20 Sound Blaster, I heard Creative is highly supported.
[04:53] <xtknight> Vic, see http://hardware4linux.info/component/14786/
[04:53] <xtknight> or http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=CX23880+ubuntu&btnG=Search
[04:54] <bobertdos> Mrevox11: Go into System->Administration->Network and see if you have a wireless device listed there.
[04:54] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: what is the device? a wireless card?
[04:54] <Mrevox11> yes. it is a RealTek 8187b
[04:54] <Rat409> Mrevox11: modprobe -i ndiswrapper?
[04:54] <Fryguy--> Shoopuf: i'd argue onboard sound is much better supported
[04:54] <Fryguy--> !realtek | Mrevox11
[04:54] <Mrevox11> bobertdos. Everything is greyed out.
[04:54] <xtknight> Shoopuf, dont get an x-fi
[04:54] <Vic> the problem with my tuner is that it doesnt seems to be recognized by programs like MythTV
[04:54] <xtknight> an audigy, or a turtle beach montego ddl is what i recommend
[04:54] <Mrevox11> But in Ndisgtk or something it tells me that its detected
[04:55] <xtknight> Vic, please pastebin the output of "dmesg" and "sudo lshw".  additionally, "ls -R /dev/dvb"
[04:55] <bobertdos> Mrevox11: Everything SHOULD be greyed out, but is there a wireless device listed there?
[04:55] <l815> anyone know where I could get the KDE4.1 mouse theme for ubuntu?
[04:56] <Fryguy--> l815: kde-look.org probably has it
[04:56] <l815> Fryguy--,  kk thanks
[04:56] <emmet_> is there a linux distro specifically for apple hardware?
[04:56] <Fryguy--> emmet_: yellowdog linux i think
[04:56] <Fryguy--> emmet_: go ask in #linux or something, this is an ubuntu-specific channel
[04:57] <hi_> xtknight: I use a Lenovo power rangers desktop, more info can be found here : ttp://www.shinyshiny.tv/2007/08/lenovo_power_ra.html
[04:57] <yaris12346789> hello, i am missing MAKE. it says bash not found.
[04:57] <yaris12346789> what to do ?
[04:57] <Fryguy--> yaris12346789: install build-essential
[04:58] <Leefmc> Grr, i installed Wine and now i got references to it all over the place even after uninstalling. Any thoughts on where to remove it fully? (Note i already marked it "for complete removal"
[04:58] <Leefmc> marked and applied, obviously
[04:58] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: use --purge to uninstall it and all of it's associated configuration files
[04:58] <Leefmc> Fryguy--: Can i still purge it? Even though its already uninstalled? Or should i reinstall
[04:58] <hi_> xtknight: ?
[04:59] <Fryguy--> Leefmc: probably easiest to just reinstall it and the purge it
[04:59] <Leefmc> k
[04:59] <Mardos> can anyone help me ?
[04:59] <Fryguy--> !anyone | Mardos
[05:00] <Mardos> everytime i do iwpriv i keep getting NO PRIVATE IOCTLS
[05:00] <xtknight> Mardos, did you try putting sudo before the command
[05:00] <Mardos> yes i have
[05:00] <xtknight> what are you trying to do overall?
[05:00] <victor__> hey xtknight, what did u want me to post the output of for the tv tuner?
[05:00] <Mardos> im trying to change the system id and device id of my dell card
[05:00] <xtknight> Vic, please pastebin the output of "dmesg" and "sudo lshw".  additionally, "ls -R /dev/dvb"
[05:00] <xtknight> victor__, ^
[05:00] <Fryguy--> Mardos: try configuring your card with iwconfig first
[05:00] <Mrevox11> Ok.
[05:00] <Mrevox11> None of that is working for me
[05:01] <Mardos> my card installs scans and conencts to netowkrs
[05:01] <Fryguy--> !work | Mrevox11
[05:01] <xtknight> hi_, sorry, i really dont know how to fix your problem
[05:01] <victor__> it tells me that "[   58.011207] cx88[0]: Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver.  You can

[05:01] <FloodBot1> victor__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:01] <xtknight> Mardos, what is the command line you are running
[05:01] <xtknight> victor__, sorry but please use pastebin for anything larger
[05:01] <Mardos> Fryguy the command im doing is this sudo iwpriv wlan0 read_sprom > card_sprom
[05:01] <hi_> xtknight: hey, the last time i installed ubuntu feisty, i had a same problem and got it fixed
[05:02] <Mrevox11> well I went to the link provided. And the card still doesnt work.
[05:02] <Fryguy--> Mardos: right, use iwconfig to configure your card first
[05:02] <Mardos> and i get wlan0 no private ioctls
[05:02] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: "doesn't work" doesn't mean anything to us
[05:02] <victor__> it recognizes my chipset, but doesnt know which card is the right one
[05:02] <xtknight> victor__, ok.
[05:02] <xtknight> victor__, that means you need to add card= to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/   that refers to cx88
[05:02] <victor__> " Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver." it says
[05:02] <Mardos> Fryguy so instead of iwpriv put iwconfig?
[05:03] <Fryguy--> Mardos: no
[05:03] <hi_> xtknight: all i remember s the person onlie telling me add something in some intel sound properties throught command line
[05:03] <Fryguy--> Mardos: maybe, i don't know
[05:03] <Mrevox11> im sorry. I went to the link provided. Ndiswrappergtk still shows my hardware as present. But the card is not active.
[05:03] <giskard2> hello everyone
[05:03] <Mardos> Fryguy im new to linux :(
[05:03] <xtknight> hi_, i really have no idea.
[05:03] <xtknight> hi_, i'm sorry
[05:03] <giskard2> i need help configuring midi in ubuntu

[05:03] <Mardos> im just trying to get my dell network card to work on my hp because hp has a whitelist on the bios
[05:03] <xtknight> hi_, it could be an extra flag to modprobe snd-hda-intel
[05:04] <Mardos> Fryguy this is waht im trying to do http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=75242
[05:04] <xtknight> hi_, which *might* be in here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel
[05:04] <xtknight> hi_, or you might need to recompile alsa.
[05:04] <Fryguy--> Mardos: and what does this have to do with ubuntu itself?
[05:04] <hi_> xtknight: ny idea how do i do that?
[05:04] <Mardos> its linux and i was using ubuntu and thats the error i was getting when i just type in sudo iwpriv i get no no private ioctls
[05:05] <Fryguy--> Mardos: the error has nothing to do with ubuntu
[05:05] <giskard2> i have a korg triton extreme, ubuntu hardy heron, i see the triton when i do "cat /dev/sndstat", it connects via usb, i don't know how to configure alsa to transmit midi to the triton
[05:05] <Mardos> Fryguy
[05:05] <Fryguy--> Mardos:
[05:05] <Mardos> what do you think it can be
[05:05] <Fryguy--> Mardos: i have no idea
[05:05] <Fryguy--> Mardos: as i've already said
[05:05] <xtknight> victor__, look here try the card= for the kworld cards http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:ru-3z-Wlkp4J:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/%2Bsource/linux/%2Bbug/115719+cx88+kworld&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us

[05:05] <xtknight> !alsa | hi_, might be something here
[05:06] <Fryguy--> Mardos: i don't know
[05:06] <xtknight> Mardos, what told you to do iwpriv
[05:06] <ubunubi> anyway to keep my system logs from spamming about me having disabled the IPv6 kernel module?
[05:06] <Mardos> http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=75242 hat
[05:06] <Mardos> that*
[05:07] <xtknight> Mardos, that's for mac os, i think
[05:07] <victor__> hey xtknight, the Kworld ATSC 120 is not on the list of cards to choose from
[05:07] <Mardos> yes because my HP/COMPAQ blocks other network cards it has to be a intel one
[05:07] <will02> what would be the easiest way to mount a folder on an ftp drive locally?
[05:07] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: you can reinstall the kernel and put ipv6 module in if you want
[05:07] <Mardos> im trying to use a dell 1390 with a broadcom
[05:07] <Chaotic_Descent> Bah. #firefox is being useless.
[05:07] <Mrevox11> anyone?
[05:07] <Fryguy--> will02: use ftp://blahblahblah in nautilus
[05:07] <xtknight> victor__, your best bet is to find the card= from someone else (search ubuntu forums for kworld atsc), or try all the kworld ones using sudo rmmod cx88 && sudo modprobe cx88 card=nnn (nnn is the number)
[05:08] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: i dont want ipv6...that's why i disabled it. but i dont want modprobe to spam my logs telling me i've disabled it..cause i know that I have :P
[05:08] <will02> fryguy-- i know that works, but i want to mount it locally so amarok can use it as a building point for its collection
[05:08] <xtknight> !ipv6 | ubunubi
[05:08] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: 1. why disable it 2. in that case, blacklist the module so it doesn't load
[05:08] <xtknight> that help?
[05:08] <Mardos> xtnight any ideas why
[05:08] <ahughes> hey, is it possible to VNC or rdesktop or something into another machine (windows) and scale down... so that a remote 1024x768 screen appears as 512x384?
[05:08] <ubunubi> fryguy: 1. for speed 2. it is blacklisted but i'm getting spammed that it's blacklisted...hence the problem
[05:08] <Fryguy--> will02: i'm not aware of any utilities for putting the contents of an ftp server as a mountpoint
[05:08] <xtknight> Mardos, so let me get this straight, you are trying to get a wirelesss card to work?
[05:09] <xtknight> Mardos, if so can you please pastebin "sudo lshw"
[05:09] <Enselic> I would like to learn in detail how the NetworkManager interacts with the boot process, does anyone have a couple of good links where I can read more?
[05:09] <Fryguy--> ubunubi: removing ipv6 isn't going to speed anything up
[05:09] <q_a_z_steve> help, can I insert .ogg video into OOo 2.4 linux? I had this working once, doesn't play nice anymore.
[05:09] <Mardos> on my COMPAq because hp and compaq has a whitelist on there bios
[05:09] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: sure it does. that's why the !ipv6 clippet recommends it to speed up browsing
[05:09] <Mardos> they wont allow other network cards
[05:09] <xtknight> Mardos, a whitelist for what?
[05:09] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: but that's besides the point
[05:09] <xtknight> hmmmmm
[05:09] <ignacio> HI
[05:09] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: i dont get spammed about any other blacklisted module
[05:10] <ignacio> men
[05:10] <Chaotic_Descent> I hate computers so much.
[05:10] <marvin> hmm your on one
[05:10] <ignacio> I love the computers
[05:10] <xtknight> Mardos, so did you do the steps prior to iwpriv..like extracting bcm
[05:10] <Chaotic_Descent> I know I'm on one.
[05:10] <doug_> test
[05:11] <Mrevox11> Does anyone know how to activate a connection that is listed as present in Ndiswrapper?
[05:11] <Mardos> xtknight i have a compaq with a intel 3945 i swapped it with a dell 1390 broadcom 43xx but my machine when i boot it up i get a error 104 unsupported network adapater compaq blocks other network cards in there bios and the only way to bypass it is to do the link i have sent you
[05:11] <Mardos> and yes i have done the extracing it finds and scans and connects to wireless networks
[05:11] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: do you have an interface for it in ifconfig or iwconfig
[05:11] <giskard2> i need help connecting a usb/midi keyboard to ubuntu
[05:11] <xtknight> Mardos, do type ifconfig -a and see if you can identify the interface
[05:11] <Chaotic_Descent> they're evil. they're like cigarettes for the socially inept. and they're god damned infuriating.
[05:11] <Mardos> wlan0
[05:11] <Mrevox11> I just have lo and eth0
[05:12] <ahughes> I think I want to screencast
[05:12] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: then your driver isn't installed correctly
[05:12] <Mrevox11> I dont have a wlan0 entry.
[05:12] <Mrevox11> ? It lists it as present in Ndiswrapper.
[05:12] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: did you look at the documentation i posted a while ago?
[05:12] <Fryguy--> !realtek | Mrevox11
[05:12] <Mrevox11> that doesnt help.
[05:12] <Mrevox11> I enter the commands listed and I just get a bunch of errors.
[05:12] <xtknight> Mardos, unfortunately my wireless card also says no private io ctls
[05:13] <Mardos> so basically i cant change the private parameters
[05:13] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: "bunch of errors"
[05:13] <xtknight> Mardos, i dont know.  you may need an iwpriv version of else where
[05:13] <Mrevox11> Yes.
[05:13] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: that sounds like it might be pretty important
[05:13] <xtknight> Mardos, or maybe the driver you're using is not implementing iwpriv
[05:13] <Mrevox11> Why is sarcasm rampant around here?
[05:13] <Mardos> xtknight what do you mean there is different versions of iwpriv ?
[05:13] <xtknight> i guess because terseness is :D
[05:14] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: because i've been asking you for quite some time to elaborate on "doesn't work" and you refuse to comply. you just say "looks like it's there but it doesn't work"
[05:14] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: we need some specifics to be able to offer you meaningful advice
[05:14] <emmet_> wow is this #ubuntu? it got really unpleasant for a second
[05:14] <Mardos> xtknight i tried sudo iwpriv and i get wlan0 no private ioctls and even my eth1 no private ioctls
[05:14] <Mrevox11> If you read the above. I have told you what is wrong.
[05:14] <xtknight> Mardos, there could be.  i am not sure.  that guide is for mac os, but you may try to find the project page for iwpriv and get a new version, or try upgrading the driver which supports your network card
[05:14] <marvin> Mardos I have the same chipset as your network card
[05:14] <marvin> are you using a laptop?
[05:14] <xtknight> Mardos, i have no ioctls for any of my interfaces, either
[05:14]  * emmet_ *
[05:15] <xtknight> which is why im doutbing the version of that program included with ubuntu
[05:15] <Mardos> xtknight hmm wierdd
[05:15] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: all you've told us is "it looks like it's in ndiswrapper, but i don't have an interface, and i get a bunch of errors that i won't tell you about when i try to follow the documentation i've been linked to"
[05:15] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: that's paraphrased obviously, but you get the point
[05:15] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: if I missed something, please let me know
[05:15] <Mrevox11> Its a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 install. I installed Ndiswrapper. I installed the realtek driver that I downloaded from the website. It lists the hardware as present in ndiswrapper.
[05:15] <marvin> Mardos:my chipset works fine, can you restate your problem?
[05:16] <Mrevox11> now I just want to know how to activate the hardware and connection. Any Help?
[05:16] <Enselic> ahughes: I recomend recordMyDesktop for that
[05:16] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: right, and what happens when you follow the documentation i linked you to
[05:16] <Mrevox11> hold on let me copy and paste.
[05:16] <Fryguy--> !pastebin | Mrevox11
[05:16] <Enselic> Mrevox11: doesn't realtek provide Linux drivers?
[05:16] <Fryguy--> Enselic: usually not
[05:16] <Mardos> marvin my compaq comes with a intel 1945 abg if i swap my network card i get error 104 unsupported network card because hp blocks it in their bios
[05:17] <marvin> Oh, I see, so it's a hardware prob.
[05:17] <Fryguy--> Mardos: why not just use the intel? it has better linux support anyway
[05:17] <marvin> Fryguy: both work, broadcom is wirless g
[05:17] <arooni-mobile> how do i regenerate my public / private keys?
[05:17] <ubunubi> Fryguy--: the modprobe log spam is a know launchpad issue. just for your future reference https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/module-init-tools/+bug/66423
[05:17] <Chaotic_Descent> fixed Flash playback. something changed the settings to load Flash files in FireFox. there was a FireFox setting under "applications" that let me select Flash in FireFox for playback. :P

[05:17] <Enselic> arooni-mobile: Use ssh-keygen
[05:17] <l815> anyone know why I get this error, even though gtk.2x is installed? "configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora"
[05:18] <marvin> Mardos- oh wait, are yuo trying to istall broadcom?
[05:18] <xtknight> l815, you need to install gtk development libraries
[05:18] <marvin> Mardos- If that is the case, you need the right firmware
[05:18] <Starnestommy> l815: you need libgtk2.0-dev
[05:18] <Mardos> yaa ubuntu finds it the drivers and installs fwcutter and everything on its own
[05:18] <marvin> Mardos: If it's not truly your bios
[05:18] <marvin> Mardos: I have a link for you;)
[05:18] <xtknight> i wonder why they would block other wireless cards
[05:18] <xtknight> what's the point of that?
[05:18] <Mardos> and it even installs and scans and connects
[05:18] <l815> xtknight, Starnestommy , thanks :)
[05:18] <Mardos> yaa hp and compaq are gay
[05:19] <masterclimby> hey!
[05:19] <masterclimby> i have both lol
[05:19] <arooni-mobile> Enselic, to allow me to ssh in with key based auth.... i copy the public key of the remote computer into the authorized_keys file of the computer i want to log into?
[05:19] <xtknight> lol
[05:19] <Mardos> no point whats the poin tof blocking it
[05:19] <Mrevox11> fryguy   http://paste.ubuntu.com/25582/
[05:19] <Fryguy--> arooni-mobile: yes

[05:19] <Enselic> arooni-mobile: yes
[05:19] <arooni-mobile> thanks Fryguy-- & Enselic
[05:19] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: lol. did you download the file you needed?
[05:19] <Fryguy--> Mrevox11: and if so, what is it called
[05:19] <marvin> Mardos:L so it scans and conencts? but you have unknown network device?
[05:20] <marvin> Is that it?
[05:20] <Mardos> it scans it connects to my netowrk and which ever network it shows the essid and evertthing
[05:20] <marvin> If it scans and connect, and it works, means your firmware is corect
[05:20] <marvin> haha thatz weird
[05:20] <Mardos> just when i do iwpriv everytime i get no private ioctls for everything
[05:21] <xtknight> Mardos, have you tried associating with an AP though?
[05:21] <Mardos> the only way to make the broadcom bcm43xx to work on my hp is to change the system id and device id to the intel one to fake it
[05:21] <marvin> hmm mine works
[05:21] <marvin> :D
[05:21] <Mardos> so that my bios will think my bcm43xx is my intel
[05:21] <marvin> I see, so it is the bios issue
[05:21] <Mardos> marvin when you do iwpriv what do you get it ?
[05:21] <BeepII> Does anyone know what version of Ubuntu supported the S3 Graphics unichrome pro integrated graphics core?
[05:22] <marvin> eth1 Available private ioctls:
[05:22] <Mardos> yess bios will not let me boot into anything
[05:22] <marvin> it shows
[05:22] <Mardos> dan it :(
[05:22] <marvin> ndis_reset powwer_profile
[05:22] <marvin> shows a lot of stuff
[05:22] <marvin> :D
[05:22] <BeepII> or like, how old that thing really is so I can look it up?
[05:22] <codyt07> Hello, can anyone help me with ubuntu studio 64 bit? Their irc channel has no one in it.
[05:22] <xtknight> Mardos, are you SURE the interface is wlan0?
[05:22] <Fryguy--> !anyone | codyt07
[05:22] <Mardos> yes
[05:22] <xtknight> Mardos, try sudo iwpriv --all to humor me
[05:23] <Mardos> even went to network toosl
[05:23] <marvin> Mardo: you are lucky :D
[05:23] <Matthew12> you know how when you mouse over a music file it will play for as long as the mouse is over the icon...well I went to delete a music file...it started playing I deleted the file, and it won't stop playing even though the file has been deleted
[05:23] <Mardos> lucky for what lol
[05:23] <marvin> Mardos: that it actually works on your computer
[05:23] <Mardos> im unlucky because i cant get the bcm43xx to work
[05:23] <marvin> the card i mean
[05:23] <marvin> well internet works right?
[05:23] <Mardos> well i have to hot swap it after the bios check before ubuntu loads
[05:23] <orgthingy> I used "FrontCam" in Windows.. what should I use in Linux?
[05:23] <codyt07> Fair enough, I am having trouble with constant full system lockups, mainly running flash, cross/wine, and firefox. I have had ubuntu regular 2 bit to run successful before.
[05:23] <insmod> is there a reason licq has stopped working ???
[05:24] <codyt07> 32 bit
[05:24] <marvin> hmm well anyways I'll give you some links that may or may not help
[05:24] <Fryguy--> insmod: icq changed their protocol and broke every 3rd party client
[05:24] <Mardos> i just need to change the paramters of the wlan card so my bios will thing that its still a intel one inside

nice 9 (i figured such) any solution??
[05:25] <marvin> three links for ya
[05:25] <xtknight> Mardos, what does sudo iwpriv --all show
[05:25] <marvin> for the last one, the network card is what you want
[05:25] <Fryguy--> insmod: pidgin has fixed it's implementation, check getdeb.net to see if packages have been updated for you and not in repositories, or just wait
[05:25] <Mardos> no private ioctls
[05:25] <codyt07> I do have a few error messages that do repart, module-alsa-sinl c: Error opening PCM device front 0: Device or resource is busy
[05:25] <Mardos> it just wont show anything just iwprib

[05:26] <codyt07> sink *
[05:26] <THC> oh and hello all
[05:26] <Matthew12> the mouse-over music preview won't stop playing after I deleted the file. How do I stop this?
[05:26] <pugakier> hi!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:27] <THC> hi
[05:27] <Fryguy--> THC: try #virtualbox, or the virtualbox website has a wiki that has a lot of documented howtos, maybe they have information there
[05:27] <Aaron__> what program do i used so i can connect via wireless?
[05:27] <arooni-mobile> the same command in crontab -e (for current user named chasetoys): * * * * * /usr/bin/unison simple -batch >> /home/chasetoys/unison.log 2>&1 outputs Permission denied (publickey,password).... but when i run it from the command line (outside of crontab) it runs fine.... why?
[05:27] <Mardos> marvin one says on how to install but truly ubuntu does it on its own it installs everything on its own
[05:27] <marvin> depends
[05:27] <THC> yeah, im just being lazy haha
[05:27] <Fryguy--> Aaron__: the network-manager in the top right corner handles both wired and wireless connections for you
[05:27] <marvin> I did an upgrade from gutsy to hardware and it messed up my network firmware
[05:27] <Mardos> it does though for me it idd
[05:27] <marvin> I had to do a reinstall on that, fwcutter is a bit, bleh
[05:28] <THC> but i was looking at the channel list in freenode and didnt see theirs
[05:28] <djhash> Hi all.. I need someone's help regarding s-video TV-out on ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), using ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (7500).. check xorg.conf on pastebin http://pastebin.com/m6a87ef14
[05:28] <Aaron__> Fryguy--, i dont see anything
[05:28] <Fryguy--> Aaron__: does ifconfig or iwconfig show a wireless interface (type these commands in terminal)
[05:29] <marvin> Mardos: what eth port is your internet connection?
[05:29] <marvin> eth1? eth0?
[05:29] <Mardos> i think eth1
[05:29] <Fryguy--> Aaron__: you need to manually install drivers for your wireless card then
[05:29] <Aaron__> Fryguy--, i already did,.
[05:29] <xtknight> Mardos, are you sure it is not wmaster0
[05:30] <Billll> meh I have a netgear wpn311 D;
[05:30] <Mardos> nop im positive i have eth and wlan
[05:30] <Fryguy--> Aaron__: no you didn't.  If you did then you would have an interface in ifconfig and/or iwconfig
[05:30] <Billll> heard those are a bitch to installed D;
[05:30] <marvin> it is a bitch to install, but once you do, you're home free
[05:30] <Billll> gonig to install tommorrow I have card in wireless slot but called it a night
[05:30] <Billll> =P
[05:30] <xtknight> Mardos, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bcm43xx+iwpriv&btnG=Search     this may be your best hope, but i see things like iwpriv wlan0 param or iwpriv wmaster0
[05:32] <Mardos> waht is the best way to cahgne the private parameters of the card(like system id and device id ) ?
[05:33] <xtknight> Mardos, i wonder if you can flash the bios to fix it
[05:33] <Mardos> done that
[05:33] <Mardos> to the latest and still nothing
[05:33] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to quickly clear a file (though not delete it) from the command line?  (i want to use this for log files i want to start over)
[05:33] <Mardos> and its a insyde flash so no way to edit it as well
[05:35] <Mardos> just need a command to change the system id and device ide
[05:35] <icarus> if I have a server with an NFS share, is there any way, like a password, to stop someone from jumping on the network, asking DHCP for a static IP that matches one if /etc/exports  on the server and then just impersonating a real user ?
[05:36] <Fryguy--> icarus: no
[05:36] <nafiux> Hello, I need the kernel source in /usr/src of Ubuntu, can I download this?
[05:36] <icarus> Fryguy--: wow....not awesome :P
[05:36] <Fryguy--> there's a secureNFS version i think, but it's completely standalone and i know nothing about it
[05:36] <Fryguy--> nafiux: install the kernel source package
[05:36] <mordof> got an ssh server installed.. trying to log into it from my windows machine (that works fine) except there's about a 20s delay before it asks for the password.. i tried to set up authentication keys with a passphrase instead and disable password, but same result.. anyone know of a way to get rid of the delay? they're on the same network.. not sure why it'd take so long
[05:37] <Fryguy--> icarus: it's widely known that nfs is not secure for anything other than lan use
[05:37] <icarus> Fryguy--: it almost seems like Samba is more secure
[05:37] <djhash> arooni-mobile: try "echo >file"
[05:37] <Mardos> so im shit out of luck
[05:37] <nafiux> Fryguy: What is the name of the package?
[05:37] <Fryguy--> mordof: do you have your hostname configured correctly, and an appropriate entry in /etc/hosts for it
[05:37] <icarus> Fryguy--: anything a little more secure ?
[05:37] <Fryguy--> icarus: sftp
[05:37] <Fryguy--> nafiux: no idea, use apt-cache search to find it
[05:38] <Mardos> marvin
[05:38] <icarus> Fryguy--: SecureFTP? that doesn't sound very mountable
[05:38] <Fryguy--> icarus: sshfs
[05:38] <mordof> Fryguy--: was using straight IP address, as well as i set my host file up properly for the name i'm using.  however, that's only client side. not sure what you mean for server side - what's the host file do with it?
[05:38] <djhash> Hi all.. I need someone's help regarding s-video TV-out on ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), using ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (7500).. check xorg.conf on pastebin http://pastebin.com/m6a87ef14 <---- someone to work on during pm would be helpful.. thanks..
[05:38] <Fryguy--> mordof: if your hostname isn't set up correctly, resolves (and reverse dns), take forever
[05:39] <mordof> Fryguy--: why would that matter through local IP addresses?
[05:39] <Fryguy--> mordof: because ssh does reverse dns
[05:39] <flaccid> what is the apt command to find out what package a file came with?
[05:39] <mordof> .... all the time?
[05:40] <Fryguy--> mordof: yes
[05:40] <Fryguy--> mordof: why not just try the solution I gave?
[05:40] <mordof> not sure how xD
[05:40] <Fryguy--> mordof: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[05:40] <mordof> what do i put though? :s
[05:40] <icarus> Fryguy--: awesome! sshfs looks like NFS but more secure ! thanks
[05:40] <Fryguy--> mordof: whatever you want
[05:41] <Fryguy--> icarus: it's just a filesystem wrapper for sftp using fuse
[05:42] <s3a> how do u get to the non answered posts area?
[05:42] <s3a> in ubuntuforums
[05:42] <icarus> Fryguy--: well, that's cool then, because being mountable is pretty important in my scenario
[05:42] <Josdell> Hi everyone, I need help. I am trying to make a USB Stick bootable without GRUB so that the MBR of the computer does not look for GRUB on the next boot. Is this possible with GRUB itself, or even another bootloader, I just need something that will boot the first partition of a USB Stick. Please know the bootloader must be installed on the USB Stick.
[05:43] <mordof> Fryguy--: do i have to restart anything after writing to the host file?
[05:43] <mordof> :o guess not
[05:43] <flaccid> right no help as usual
[05:43] <flaccid> cyas
[05:43] <mordof> lol... *sighs* i really don't understand why that worked, but it did. ty Fryguy

[05:44] <nafiux> I'm learning to develop drivers for Linux, but when I can make this (make -C /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 M=pwd modules) this return error, I find the "kernel-source-2.6.8" in the /usr/src folder not found
[05:44] <yesitisjustme> when you install through synaptic it also automatically installs any dependancy but when i do apt-get it doesn't automatically is there a command so it will install any dependancy automatically like synaptic?
[05:45] <Fryguy--> nafiux: so install a kernel-source package, use apt-cache search to find the one you need, just like i already said
[05:45] <nickrud> yesitisjustme apt-get installs dependencies also, what in particular didn't you get?
[05:45] <Fryguy--> yesitisjustme: any apt command is going to install dependencies automatically
[05:45] <Fryguy--> yesitisjustme: if you are talking about recommends, use aptitiude
[05:45] <yesitisjustme> ok
[05:46] <leprasmurf> hey all.  I'm trying to get wireless working on my asus eee using xubuntu (eeexubuntu).  dhclient is failing but iwlist shows my essid.  any advice?
[05:46] <Mayank> after installing bluz my bluetooth is not working
[05:47] <yesitisjustme> cause it says like it needs this somethign but is not going to be installed those kind of dependencies but synaptic did it automatic
[05:47] <yesitisjustme> never tried aptitude though
[05:47] <Mayank> hcitool says .. there is no bluetooth device.
[05:47] <nickrud> yesitisjustme that means you have a problem in your sources.list, synaptic would have a similar error
[05:47] <yesitisjustme> oh
[05:47] <djhash> where does the xorg log file reside?! or what is the command to find a file?!
[05:47] <nickrud> yesitisjustme using hardy gnome (ubuntu?)

[05:48] <Jester45> can qemu be made to use more than one core? i have 4 so just 1 is quite slow compared to what it could be
[05:48] <yesitisjustme> no is like a lite version of ubuntu
[05:48] <nickrud> djhash try locate <filename> to find files
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: to open xorg... gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:49] <teacher> novia
[05:49] <nickrud> yesitisjustme then you'll need to find out what the sources.list would be for that version
[05:49] <Fryguy--> Jester45: it can, take a look at the command line options for it.  I would recommend using one of the more popular virtualization platforms though, they are typically much better than qemu
[05:49] <yesitisjustme> based on gusty
[05:49] <yesitisjustme> ok
[05:49] <Josdell> Hi everyone, If I make a partition with a boot flag on GParted, the Partition will boot, correct? It doesn't need GRUB or anything?
[05:49] <djhash> IndyGunFreak: I know that.. i am looking for the LOG files
[05:49] <IndyGunFreak> djhash: youd idn't ask that
[05:49] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not recognizing hardware
[05:49] <nickrud> Josdell no
[05:49] <Fryguy--> Josdell: wrong
[05:49] <Mayank> what to do ....
[05:50] <Mayank> and hciscan tool doesn't work
[05:50] <Fryguy--> IndyGunFreak: actually he did
[05:50] <Fryguy--> djhash: see my message above
[05:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Josdell, ofcourse it needs a bootloader it aint magic :P
[05:50] <IndyGunFreak> eh, its already scrolled past, if he did, i apologize
[05:50] <Josdell> I'm trying to make a USB partition bootable without GRUB for an ext2 partition
[05:50] <ShinjinAkage> I need some help, my system monitor is badly messed up (Just the GUI) but it makes it extreamly hard to use. Is this a common problem and are there any suggestions.
[05:50] <nickrud> Josdell usually people use syslinux for that, take a look at !install
[05:50] <jc__> can someone look over this xrog.conf file, I am trying to help my brother get his monitor set up and we can't get xorg working properly:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25593/
[05:51] <nickrud> !install > Josdell
[05:51] <mordof> Fryguy--: yaaay :D got cygwin and WinSCP working with it ^^ so happy. ty again
[05:51] <Jester45> Fryguy--: im running it on a headless server so... vbox and vmware is kinda out i know vbox has a cli but i prefer qemu's. im not talking about guest smp i mean the host is smp but qemu uses just 1
[05:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Josdell, then let the rest of the world know when you figure out how to boot an OS like that without a bootloader.. you'll be famous I'm sure
[05:51] <nickrud> Josdell one of those is about setting up a usb bootable device
[05:51] <Fryguy--> Jester45: ok, like i said i'm pretty sure there's a command line option to dedicate more cores.  check out qemu's wiki
[05:51] <Josdell> nickrud: syslinux is not reccomended for partiton larger that 2GB
[05:51] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud, yeah there is a gui app now available for those wishing to install ubuntu to a usb device
[05:52] <Mayank> xorg --configure
[05:52] <Mayank> try this
[05:52] <djhash> nickrud: thanks.. it seems there is no such file.. (tried xorg.log, xorg.0.log)...
[05:52] <Mayank> to configure your xorg
[05:52] <Mayank> then startx
[05:52] <nickrud> Josdell you didn't mention that part. Are you sure that's still true? And Paddy_EIRE what is that, I've been too lazy to try it myself by hand, I'll jump at that option
[05:52] <anom01y> anyone here know anything about setting up alsa ?
[05:52] <Fryguy--> djhash: just cd /var/log/ and type ls, the file you need should be obvious
[05:52] <Mayank> what is alsa
[05:52] <nickrud> djhash /var/log/Xorg.0.log is created each time an X session is started ...
[05:53] <Fryguy--> Mayank: advanced linux sound architecture, it's the platform that linux uses for sound
[05:53] <Fryguy--> !alsa Mayank
[05:53] <buntunub> !alsa
[05:53] <Fryguy--> !alsa| Mayank
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud, yeah its very handy I have ubuntu x86_64 running of a 4gb usb pen drive.. awesome
[05:53]  * nickrud is about to beat Paddy_EIRE about the head if he makes me google
[05:53] <ubunubi> Josdell: that's incorrect. the boot flag is just for windows to look at. you need need something to boot the machine (grub/ntloader/etc)
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> 1 sec
[05:53] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE just kidding, the name of the app would be enough :)
[05:53] <Mayank> why do you need that
[05:53] <Mayank> what so special about that
[05:54] <Fryguy--> Mayank: it's how to play sound on linux based systems
[05:54] <Mayank> or you can tell me what is the problem you are facing
[05:54] <Josdell> ubunubi: Is it possible though with any bootloader, to not change the MBR of the computer?
[05:54] <djhash> oooh.. no wonder locate couldn't find it.. it is X not x.. lol.. thanks guys
[05:54] <ubunubi> josdell: what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:54] <Fryguy--> djhash: my original message said Xorg.log  -- pay attention next time lol :)
[05:54] <buntunub> !pulse audio
[05:55] <ubunubi> !pulseaudio
[05:55] <Josdell> ubunubi: Boot a partition off of a USB Drive without messing up the MBR of a Computer
[05:55] <ubunubi> josdell: for that, you need BIOS support to boot from a USB device, and set it as the first boot device in your BIOS
[05:55] <robert__> is there a Resident Evil original game for Linux
[05:56] <ubunubi> josdell: if you BIOS is not new enough to support booting from USB ...you're out of luck
[05:56] <Josdell> ubunubi: yes but if I installed Ubuntu on a USB Device with a bootloader(GRUB), are you saying it would still boot the Ubuntu partition?
[05:56] <AtomicSpark> my hardy install keeps freezing when trying to install python or perl. i forget which one. its right after you input the user information. i've tried disabling acpi apci lapci and apm. any ideas? its an old sony laptop. PCG-FR130
[05:56] <IndyGunFreak> Josdell: why are you concerned about putting grub on the mbr?.. just do a normal dual boot system, 1000's do it every day w/o issue..
[05:56] <methods> when i run sudo i get no output and the command does not execute from what i can see
[05:56] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud, its called liveusb... not sure of the exactness but its out on other distros aswell you would need to find the ubuntu 1 there is a repo for it... I believe I got this info from the ubuntu wiki
[05:57] <ubunubi> josdell: GRUB could be installed to the USB drive itself, not your HD MBR
[05:57] <Fryguy--> AtomicSpark: how are you installing pythong
[05:57] <Josdell> Paddy_EIRE: are you talking about UNetbootin?
[05:57] <nickrud> Josdell you can have grub write to the mbr of the usbdrive (I'm assuming you mean a hard drive), if it's plugged in it will boot, if it's not the mbr on the internal will be used
[05:57] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE thanks for the pointer.
[05:57] <AtomicSpark> Fryguy--, just the normal package installation with the alt cd.
[05:58] <Paddy_EIRE> Josdell, nope
[05:58] <Fryguy--> AtomicSpark: so you havne't installed ubuntu yet?
[05:58] <Josdell> ubunubi: Yes but doesn't the computer( if it doesn't have GRUB installed)  fail at boot if the USB Device is not inserted?
[05:58] <AtomicSpark> Fryguy--, no. tried every disabling boot option. :\
[05:58] <ubunubi> josdell: no, not if your BIOS supports booting from USB
[05:58] <jc__> can someone please take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/25593/ my bother can't get his monitor past 800x600
[05:58] <AtomicSpark> its just where it stops.
[05:58] <nickrud> Josdell not if you have grub on the mbr of the _external_ drive
[05:58] <buntunub> #join mythtv
[05:59] <Fryguy--> AtomicSpark: have you verified the disc is good? and md5'd the downloaded iso?
[05:59] <BeepII> Ok, I found what I believe to be the correct driver for my video card. (which is so old it doesn't seem to be supported in ubuntu 8.04) BUT, it's a binary for 7.10
[05:59] <BeepII> I'd like to know, is that going to be compatible with 8.04?
[05:59] <ubunubi> josdell:: the USB drive will be looked at by the BIOS, and the BIOS will look for the MBR of the USB device, read grub from there, then boot whatever that grub tells it off the usb disk, leaving your main MBR untouched
[05:59] <nickrud> Josdell thereby not touching the mbr of the _internal_ drive
[05:59] <Fryguy--> BeepII: probably
[05:59] <AtomicSpark> Fryguy--, yes. i have also successfully installed with this cd on newer machines.
[05:59] <Josdell> When I install Ubuntu onto a USB Device with GRUB, does it make a MBR of the USB Device automatically?
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> Josdell, seems interesting...
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud, https://launchpad.net/liveusb
[06:00] <nickrud> BeepII what card?
[06:00] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE thanks
[06:00] <Fryguy--> nickrud: prepare to laugh
[06:00] <ubunubi> josdell: depends on what you tell it to do during the install
[06:00] <Josdell> ubunubi: yes i know
[06:00] <b4l7424r> how do i keep ubuntu from mounting my windows patition at startup?
[06:00] <Josdell> ubunubi: TO install it to the USB Device correct?
[06:00] <avis> can you wipe the mbr of a paritioned linux drive without the data on the partitions being wiped ?
[06:00] <sauvin> Remove it from /etc/fstab.
[06:00] <Fryguy--> b4l7424r: edit /etc/fstab and add noauto to the line for your windows partition
[06:00] <Fryguy--> avis: sure
[06:00] <ubunubi> josell:: tell it to intsall to the mbr of the usb drive
[06:00] <b4l7424r> Fryguy--, thanks
[06:00] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE so this is a non-persistent version?
[06:01] <avis> Fryguy--, could you share how please
[06:01] <zanco79> hi guys...
[06:01] <Josdell> ubunubi: How would I go about doing that?
[06:01] <Fryguy--> avis: what bootloader do you want to put in it's place?
[06:01] <ubunubi> josdell: in the install it asks where you want to install GRUB...tell it the MBR of the USB Drive (don't know exact wording)
[06:02] <avis> Fryguy--, i'm just curious, i dont actually want to do anything.  i'm just uncertain how you'd clear a /mbr on a drive with data you'd like to keep
[06:02] <ubunubi> josdell: it'll say MBR of /dev/somethingsomething, or partition of /dev/somethingsomething..and pick the USB drive's location
[06:02] <Fryguy--> avis: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/HD count=1 bs=512
[06:02] <Josdell> ubunubi: Do you mean /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 or something of the sort?
[06:02] <avis> Fryguy--, thank you
[06:02] <sway> whats the default path to the .fonts folder in ubuntu?
[06:02] <ubunubi> josdell: yes, what'ever the usb drive is identified as
[06:02] <Fryguy--> avis: wait
[06:02] <Fryguy--> avis: that's wrong
[06:02] <Fryguy--> avis: hold on
[06:02] <ubunubi> josdell: just pick the correct one ( the usb drive) or it may overwrite the mbr on a different hd if you pick the wrong one
[06:03] <nickrud> sway $HOME/.fonts
[06:03] <jay> hey... quick one.. how long ( approx ) to DD 100gig from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb ?
[06:03] <sway> ok
[06:03] <ubunubi> josdell: you should be able to ascertain which one the USB drive is by looking at the gparted partition info on the previous screen
[06:03] <Fryguy--> avis: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda/ bs=446 count=1
[06:03] <sway> do i just have to put the fonts in the folder to install?
[06:03] <Josdell> ubunubi: Should I install in on the first partition of the USB Drive or the USB Drive itself?
[06:03] <Fryguy--> avis: always make backups when messing with hard drives btw
[06:03] <ubunubi> Josdell:: either would work, _i think_, but if you get the option for the usb drive itself...do that to make sure
[06:03] <avis> Fryguy--, yes.  thanks.
[06:04] <ubunubi> josdell: putting it on the first partition on the usb drive might or might not autoload depending on your BIOS
[06:04] <ubunubi> josdell: but either could potentially work
[06:05] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud, there is a persistent version in the svn
[06:05] <Josdell> ubunubi: so my best bet would be to install GRUB on the USB Drive itself, remove the boot flag from the second partition(syslinux on GParted) and then reboot and try to boot from USB?
[06:05] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE that's what I'm looking for :)
[06:05] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[06:06] <ubunubi> josdell: install grub to the usb drive itself...don't mess with the boot flag (it's irrelevent for linux, only windows cares about that flag)...reboot, go into your BIOS..and set your USB drive as the first boot device..then save, and reboot with the USB drive plugged in and cross your fingers
[06:06] <Josdell> ubunubi: is it relevant if the USB Device is the first boot device?
[06:07] <ubunubi> josdell: yes, otherwise your normal HD will boot instead
[06:07] <Josdell> ubunubi: not unless i go into the COmputer's boot menu right?
[06:08] <ubunubi> josdell: in the BIOS there is a list of boot devices. it checks the first one for a valid MBR and boots it if it's found..if not, it tries #2... if you want the USB drive to boot it has to be the first valid device with an MBR/bootloader
[06:08] <ubunubi> josdell: otherwise some other device, like your regular harddrive will be checked first, and booted instead
[06:09] <Josdell> ubunubi: Yeah I get what you're saying but on my computer I can select what I want to boot before it even starts
[06:09] <ubunubi> Josdell: if you can select the USB drive from there...then by all means do so
[06:09] <ubunubi> Josdell: my computer doesn't have that menu so i dont know
[06:10] <Josdell> ubunubi: Okay thanks for all the help, This is very important for me, I will be back here later to say If I was victorious or not. Bye everyone
[06:10] <Utalcn2me> ubunubi, would one copy the ubuntu image to said USB stick, or the filestructure
[06:10] <ubunubi> Utalcn2me: neither. tell the installer itself to put the files onto the usb drive
[06:10] <b4l7424r> there is a "#" in front of each entry in my /etc/fstab, is that normal?
[06:12] <Utalcn2me> b4l7424r, ive noticed that also, i dunno what thats all about either
[06:12] <THC> what girls were in here? ahah j/k
[06:12] <Mayank> hi
[06:12] <buntunub> lol that means the line was commented out and will be ignored
[06:12]  * chalcedony smiles
[06:12] <chalcedony> yes buntunub
[06:13] <chalcedony> who knows about fonts and screen resolution on hardy?
[06:13] <THC> anyone know how to get virtualbox OSE to do raw disk access
[06:13] <buntunub> ssshhh.. im watching "Debbie does Ubuntu" and its quite good :)
[06:13] <ubunubi> !ask | chalcedony
[06:13] <ubunubi> !anyone | chal
[06:13] <b4l7424r> it seems like alot of people aren't updated on how ubuntu handles files like the xf86 and the like
[06:14] <jeeves__> can anyone help me figure out the proper keyboard profile for my Toshiba laptop?
[06:14] <ubunubi> jeeves__: you can function on a generic profile if you don't need special media keys, i think
[06:14] <THC> anyone know how to get virtualbox OSE to do raw disk access ?
[06:15] <jeeves__> ubunubi, I need the extended keyboard (ie. the number pad)
[06:15] <b4l7424r> i meant the xorg of course
[06:15] <Shoopuf> How do I figure out what version a program is in the Add/Remove Program list? In particular I'm looking at the X-Moto game. On the website it says the latest version is 0.4.2, but in the Add/Remove Program list it doesn't have any version information at all!
[06:15] <ubunubi> jeeves__: i only see 1 profile for toshiba ...satellite S3000 ..try that and see if it's the same layout
[06:15] <THC> of course you did
[06:15] <ubunubi> jeeves__: if not, you'll have to do some googling for a custom profile
[06:16] <jeeves__> ubunubi, I did google it, hence why I'm here
[06:16] <ubunubi> jeeves__: you tried the S3000 and it didn't work?
[06:16] <AtomicSpark> i'mma try to install from a server cd. :P
[06:16] <jeeves__> s3000 yea, it killed my input
[06:16] <ubunubi> hrm
[06:16] <THC> did u forget to clean your load off of the keys?
[06:17] <penguincentral> i set up a samba share and now i can't connect to it.  no settings have been changed and i could connect to it last night
[06:17] <THC> lol im j/k
[06:17] <jeeves__> ubunubi, not to mention that now that I have the sound on my speakers, I can't get the headphone jack working, or my dialup modem
[06:18] <THC> is there a way to flush the cached ram ?
[06:18] <LSD|Ninja> THC: that happens as-needed
[06:19] <dfgas> what drivers do i install for geforce 4 go 420
[06:19] <octoberdan> Does Hardy still suck?
[06:19] <b4l7424r> does ubuntu have a graphical tool to edit the fstab file, i want to instruct it to not mount my windows partiton at boot, and i was just looking at the fstab file and it looked like a terrible mess
[06:19] <LSD|Ninja> dfgas: the ones suggested by the hardware drivers panel?
[06:19] <THC> yeah i know that, but i want to do it my self from time to time
[06:19] <octoberdan> or has it stabilized out?
[06:19] <LSD|Ninja> octoberdan: seems that way
[06:19] <Craigery> hello
[06:19] <LSD|Ninja> octoberdan: that it's still crap
[06:19] <octoberdan> ugh...
[06:19] <octoberdan> Ubuntu had so much promise!
[06:19] <MousyManatee> yeah, so far I am 0 for 2 computers on Hardy
[06:20] <ritul> Mayank<EMAIL_ADDRESS>entered the room.
[06:20] <Mayank> what do want ritul
[06:20] <buntunub> Hardy works beautifully on all 5 of my rigs
[06:21] <ritul> My ubuntu does not recognize my bluetooth hardware .. ever since i installed bluez package in it. Is there any one can help ?
[06:21] <LSD|Ninja> Even when it works, Hardy just seems like a huge step backward from Gutsy
[06:21] <MousyManatee> I wish it did on mine, although gutsy has been great
[06:21] <Utalcn2me> b4l7424r, you need to comment the line with /dev/sda1 on it would be my guess
[06:21] <buntunub> !bluetooth
[06:22] <THC> LSD|Ninja: i feel the same way
[06:22] <ritul> @ubottu .. I followed all the steps .. but hcitool scan says.. no such device.
[06:22] <b4l7424r> Utalcn2me, that line is commented out in my fstab by default so i don't dare mess with it
[06:22] <THC> i just wish my skills were better and had more time to play or else i would be on arch now
[06:22] <s3a> do get the new envy is it: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk?
[06:22] <Utalcn2me> LSD|Ninja, i like hardy, but i think gutsy was a little bit faster
[06:23] <MousyManatee> about to try gutsy on one computer that refused to work with hardy and see if it works
[06:23] <Mayank> no answer for ritul query
[06:23] <Mayank> :(
[06:24] <buntunub> Hardy is put together differently than Gutsy and before builds mainly due to GNOME 2.22 and PolicyKit
[06:24] <ritul> there was one .. but I followed it already.
[06:24] <chuy_max> MousyManatee, why didnt it work?
[06:24] <Mayank> have you tried sodo hidd --search
[06:24] <buntunub> learn the diffs and how to make them work for you and you will fall in love with Hardy
[06:24] <MousyManatee> it would reboot almost exactly 47 seconds after the mouse cursor appeared
[06:25] <ritul> "no such device "
[06:25] <noah_> what do i use to put videos on my ipod in ubuntu?
[06:25] <MousyManatee> even in safe mode
[06:25] <Mayank> oh :(
[06:25] <Mayank> what in /var/log/messages
[06:25] <ritul> didnt checked
[06:26] <Mayank> does installation of bluez-utils gave some error
[06:26] <buntunub> Mayank: in terminal type $cat /var/log/messages
[06:26] <Mayank> why should I type
[06:26] <Mayank> Ritul is having the problem
[06:26] <Mayank> its not me
[06:26] <giacomo_carissim> what's the command to bring up the run box?
[06:26] <ritul> he he
[06:27] <sanmarcos> hello
[06:27] <bastid_raZor> giacomo_carissim; alt + f2
[06:27] <Mayank> giacomo_carissim: alt + F2
[06:27] <giacomo_carissim> that works in gnome, but what about fluxbox?
[06:27] <ritul> @buntunub .. linux doesnt recognize bluetooth adapter
[06:27] <ritul> what shall I do ?
[06:28] <Mayank> please help ritul
[06:28] <buntunub> dont know much about bluetooth
[06:28] <Mayank> if anybody of you know the solution please tell him
[06:29] <Mayank> what about helping him with basic installation
[06:29] <buntunub> spose best way to debug is check lsusb and/or lspci for your device and /var/log/kernel.log
[06:29] <ritul> okay .. I l try
[06:29] <buntunub> then google
[06:29] <Utalcn2me> ritul, is bluetooth loaded in your admin/services?
[06:29] <Mayank> hmm
[06:29] <ritul> thx
[06:29] <giacomo_carissim> what is the command for the run window?
[06:29] <ritul> is it is loaded
[06:29] <buntunub> bluetooth is very very well supported in Linux so LOTS of resources out there
[06:30] <Mayank> where ?
[06:30] <ritul> in UI .. it says .. bluetooth services are running ..
[06:30] <Mayank>  buntunub where ?/
[06:30] <buntunub> www.google.com
[06:30] <ritul> but no bluetooth light..
[06:30] <Mayank> :)
[06:30] <buntunub> search for "bluetooth linux"
[06:30] <ritul> hcitool scan .... "no such device"
[06:30] <Mayank> looks some problem with its kernel ?
[06:30] <buntunub> you need to find your device first and how the kernel sees it
[06:31] <Utalcn2me> ritul, is bluetooth loaded in your system/admin/services?
[06:31] <binskipy2u> hey guys, which runlevel do you mess with to start or stop services?
[06:31] <ritul> yes its loaded .....Utalcn2me
[06:31] <binskipy2u> there's like 6 to choose from
[06:31] <Rat409> giacomo_carissim: there isn't in fluxbox,edit your ~/.fluxbox/keys file use fbrun,grun,whateveris installed
[06:31] <binskipy2u> for a home user desktop
[06:31] <buntunub> if your system does not see the device at all then you must at least know what it is - manufacturer, part #, etc
[06:32] <binskipy2u> if i were using BUM, which run level does BUM affect when you disable a service?
