[13:08] <sluimers> ActionParsnip: How do I do that? I doubt it, I have been running Ubuntu just fine for over a year
[13:08] <iopk> unop: you know - the non-english chars (french)
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: its a physical removal of the ram
[13:08] <unop> iopk, so you are writing in french ?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: maybe your system needs tweaking as it has 4gb ram
[13:09] <anirudh0> iopk: wrong locale on one machine>

[13:09] <Craskell> hey guys, im havin a problem with my wlan router, speed just like 1 kb/s,  but 1 MB/s would be more like possible
[13:09] <iopk> nah - it's a postgres dump file. I know those can give problems, but what surprises me is that a file (a simple file) that looks OK one one machine contains invalid chars on another one. It's as if the second one does not know what fileformat the file is in
[13:09] <fatalus> hello how can i install grub from live cd ?? while the installation i got an error like grub-install(hd0) cant executed..what should i do ??
[13:10] <unop> iopk, try saving the file in unicode encoding rather than us-ascii
[13:10] <DistroJockey> sluimers, does  killall compiz.real   work? Or maybe a   metacity --replace
[13:10] <anirudh0> fatalus: google for "recover grub live cd ubuntu"..open first link
[13:10] <kushal_12_27_200> Hello, I would like to use GNU/Linux live cd to perform a virus/malware scan on a desktop that my friend has. Is it possible to scan for viruses using a live CD without installing anything on the computer? It is an old Pentium III but it boots Ubuntu 8.04.1 live CD fine and its ethernet card also works under Ubuntu (which is amazing). so my question is, if I want to do virus, spyware and malware scan on the hard disk (which
[13:10] <kushal_12_27_200> has Win XP installed) which linux distro supports it out of the box? thanks.
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> sluimers: hmmm, not sure then
[13:11] <anirudh0> kushal_12_27_200: no
[13:11] <kushal_12_27_200> on, and I would also like to heal/remove the infection

[13:11] <kushal_12_27_200> anirudh0, I don't understand
[13:11] <anirudh0> kushal_12_27_200: the live cd cant scan for windows viruses
[13:11] <Craskell> is someone maybe able to help me?
[13:12] <kushal_12_27_200> Is there another distro that does the task that you are aware of?
[13:12] <iopk> anirudh0: where can I see the locales on the machines?
[13:12] <dns53> are there any network file systems that i can mount while in the alternate install cd?
[13:12] <HappyHater> Craskell, not until you ask
[13:12] <truthtruth> hello sinners
[13:12] <Craskell> well im havin a problem with my wlan, the speed is like 1 kb/s
[13:12] <unop> iopk, use  locale  at a terminal
[13:12] <kushal_12_27_200> is this channel logged somewhere?

[13:12] <trym_work> when you "connect to a server" using ssh - you obviously have the same permissions as the user you are connecting as. Is there a way to sudo on the remote side, so that you have full access to the remote filesystem?
[13:12] <truthtruth> Craskell: thats actually rather fast
[13:12] <anirudh0> iopk: or you mean files?
[13:13] <sluimers> DistroJockey: nope, so far the only thing that has worked is turn the laptop on and off, but it gets slow after a while again
[13:13] <fatalus> please somebody help me i tried lots of things but i cant still..im going out of my mind :S
[13:13] <anirudh0> kushal_12_27_200: irclogs.ubuntu.com
[13:13] <truthtruth> fatalus: beg some more and I may help you ;)
[13:13] <kushal_12_27_200> thanks
[13:13] <Craskell> fast? sorry im german^^ its not really fast
[13:13] <unop> trym_work, log in as the normal user then use sudo to escalate privileges

[13:14] <Craskell> yeah i did, the quality is good

[13:16] <titanix88> plz help ... :(
[13:16] <sluimers> CPU use goes to 100% very fast
[13:16] <DistroJockey> sluimers, and what does   top   say is using it?
[13:17] <titanix88> 'sudo' says timstamp is too far in the future...what should i do?
[13:17] <unop> trym_work, I guess you'll have to enable the root account on the remote machine then and log on as root directly -- but this is not recommended, if there is a way to work around this, you should look into that instead
[13:17] <kiosk> ce cutez
[13:17] <dns53> moreau cifs is not available in the alternate installer shell
[13:17] <moreau> titanix88: what are you running sudo with?
[13:17] <moreau> dns53: what FS type are you tryin t mount?
[13:18] <titanix88> moreau: any "sudo xxxx" command....
[13:18] <sluimers> Xorg, xchat, metacity, gnome-panel
[13:18] <kiosk> ce cutez&gokil
[13:18] <moreau> is your date/time set correctly....lol i assume theyre correct but its the only thing i can think of
[13:18] <unop> titanix88,  is the date and time set properly on your machine?
[13:18] <dns53> moreau i am running the alternate install cd and i want to backup the drive over a network, i'll use a usb drive but a network would be better for me
[13:18] <titanix88> pixie@theMonitor:~$ sudo aptitude update

[13:19] <Craskell> anirudh0, did ya find out something?
[13:19] <trym_work> unop: yeah thanks - its a way around that Im looking for
[13:19] <anhdh> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:19] <anhdh> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[13:19] <anhdh>  what can i do to fix that error??
[13:19] <titanix88> unop: i am trying to fix my date, but i need to use sudo to do that.... :-|
[13:19] <jpds> !aptfix | anhdh
[13:19] <anirudh0> Craskell: nope..sorry
[13:19] <DRebellion> anhdh, you can't run more than one package manager at the same time.
[13:19] <DistroJockey> sluimers, those 4 processes are using 25% each?
[13:20] <iopk> how can I find out what encoding my file actually has?
[13:20] <Craskell> anirudh0, anyway thx
[13:20] <anhdh> DRebellion, i don't
[13:20] <tom4ever> anhdh, you ran sudo before your command , do you have synaptic open or update anger ?
[13:20] <unop> titanix88, iirc, you can set the right date and time using the date applet
[13:20] <DRebellion> iopk, command:  file myfile
[13:20] <anhdh> tom4ever, no
[13:20] <unop> titanix88, does   sudo -i  bring you to the root shell?
[13:20] <moreau> dns53: as in you want to send the files, from the comp that your running the cd from, onto another comp on your network?
[13:20] <Craskell> is something wrong right here anyways? --> http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391086/
[13:20] <titanix88> unop: no. Same msg...
[13:20] <Craskell> and here  http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391087/
[13:21] <moreau> just make sure that the other computer has a 'share' folder that allows read AND write
[13:21] <Craskell> wlan problem
[13:21] <dns53> moreau yes, ether create a tar on the fly or use dd to image the drive
[13:21] <unop> titanix88, I guess you will have to boot up into the single user/recovery mode then and set the date and time there
[13:21] <iopk> DRebellion: file myfile says "ASCII C program text" - now what I do specify in iconv -f <<origencoding>> for that? any idea ?
[13:21] <sluimers> DistroJockey: no, it really depends.. I can for example firefox jumping to 20%+ when I click on firefox, same goes for xchat
[13:21] <anhdh> ubottu, thnks i works now :)
[13:21] <sluimers> Xorg is somehere between 5 and 25%
[13:22] <dns53> moreau the thing is i'm using the alternate cd installer (no os installed yet) so the initial os image does not contain things like nfs and cifs mounting support
[13:22] <DistroJockey> sluimers, that's normal. But you said something was eating your CPU (I assumed you ment all the time)
[13:22] <titanix88> unop: i just set the time a day ahead and now sudo is working... :D
[13:22] <DRebellion> iopk, i would go for ASCII
[13:22] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it was
[13:23] <unop> titanix88, a day ahead? it should be a day behind
[13:23] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it no longer is, but the slowness still occurs
[13:23] <anirudh0> titanix88: first time i heard of a computer having jet-lag ;)
[13:23] <dns53> moreau my mistake there is nfs support there
[13:23] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it's like turning off the programs doesn't have any effect on my computer's speed
[13:23] <titanix88> the actual day is 1, sudo says 2, i set it to 3.... :S
[13:23] <iopk> strange - "iconv: illegal input sequence at position 99155". Whereas using "nano" to inspect the file (though I cannot look at "position 99155", since I don't know where to find that) seems fine
[13:24] <titanix88> Anyway it worked ..... :-)
[13:24] <iopk> how could I see the words surrounding "position 99155" in a certain file ?
[13:24] <titanix88> thanks unop
[13:24] <DistroJockey> sluimers, ahh, ok. What is slow, network related stuff or everything?
[13:24] <sluimers> DistroJockey: everything
[13:24] <Brahmana> Hi..
[13:25] <HappyHater> iopk regex
[13:25] <Brahmana> I wanted to know what all libraries are installed when I do "apt-get install build-dep firefox"
[13:25] <iopk> HappyHater: regex ?
[13:25] <sluimers> DistroJockey: when I hold a key on my keyboard it goes back to 100% cpu use
[13:25] <HappyHater> regular expression... see google
[13:25] <Rioting_pacifist> i want to recompile my clock applet with a patch, where do i find the sources in the repos? kdebase-dev is all i can see
[13:25] <unop> iopk, use  iconv --list to list the known encodings and use one of them .. iso 8859 1 perhaps for us ascii
[13:25] <DistroJockey> sluimers, do you use disk indexing?
[13:26] <kercyr> does anyone have experience with ubuntu-installed dell laptops?
[13:26] <Brahmana> I want a list of libraries that are bundled as build dependencies for firefox. Is there a way for me to get that?
[13:26] <DRebellion> Rioting_pacifist, #kubuntu-devel might know.
[13:26] <moreau> dns53: in nautilus, go to the address of hte other comp "smb//<IP_ADDRESS>/<some share folder on the remotecomp> then drag n drop files as needed....or Tar eerything up then send it
[13:26] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I don't know what that is, I have a feeling this might be due to that swap thing
[13:26] <dns53> moreau the alternate install cd has no gui and therfore no nautilus
[13:26] <sluimers> DistroJockey: swap file?
[13:27] <anirudh0> Rioting_pacifist: what are you patching?
[13:27] <moreau> lol i dont know shit about this alternative cd XD
[13:27] <DistroJockey> sluimers, swap partition will be displayed with the    free   comand
[13:27] <anirudh0> Rioting_pacifist: the applet seems to work fine here
[13:27] <unop> iopk, iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t UTF8 /path/to/file
[13:27] <sluimers> DistroJockey: Yes, but looking at Gparted, the swap partition is inside another partition, that can't be good right?
[13:27] <dns53> Rioting_pacifist add a deb-src to your sources.list and then you are able to run:   apt-get source packagename
[13:28] <mgolisch> sluimers: why not?
[13:28] <DistroJockey> sluimers, that's fine (I assume it's inside the extended partition)
[13:28] <mgolisch> you can even have your root partition in an a extended partition
[13:28] <iopk> unop: yeah, that is the command that is giving "illegal input sequence at position 99155"
[13:28] <Rioting_pacifist> anirudh0: i want it better than fine, theres a patch to add korganiser events to it
[13:28] <mgolisch> linux has no problem with that
[13:28] <sluimers> DistroJockey: okay
[13:28] <moreau> can you try 'sudo cp <file> smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/wherever.you.want.it
[13:28] <sluimers> DistroJockey: it is
[13:28] <iopk> unop: seems that the file is not actually in that encoding, where could I check the default locale of my system ?
[13:29] <unop> moreau, unlikely to work that
[13:29] <DistroJockey> sluimers, which Ubuntu you running again?
[13:29] <mgolisch> never seen that
[13:29] <sluimers> DistroJockey: hardy
[13:29] <moreau> you might have to add '-o username=foo,password=foo'
[13:29] <iopk> somehow the file is read & shown correctly by "nano", so the charset is somehow readable...
[13:29] <unop> iopk, locale -a perhaps
[13:30] <unop> iopk, how are you generating this dump file??
[13:30] <DistroJockey> sluimers, use Evolution or Ekiga?
[13:30] <sluimers> DistroJockey:  sometimes use evolution yes
[13:31] <marius> hi, kann mir hier jmd mit lirc helfen ?
[13:31] <unop> iopk, if nano can view the file properly -- then you might have to set your other editor/viewer up to view the file in the right encoding
[13:31] <sluimers> DistroJockey: but not at the moment
[13:31] <unop> !de | marius
[13:31] <marius> sry! can sb. help me with lirc?
[13:31] <DistroJockey> sluimers, ahh, ok. Just sometimes I have seen  evolution-data-server  cause 100% cpu usage
[13:32] <DistroJockey> sluimers, that was pre 8.04 though
[13:32] <Circus-Killer> marius: moet gaan na #ubuntu-de, hierdi channel is vir engels
[13:33] <iopk> unop: unfortunately, locale -a only gives the full list of available locales ...
[13:33] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I'll check what's running
[13:33] <DistroJockey> sluimers, and this does re-occur after reboot you said?
[13:33] <iopk> unop: pg_dump dbname > filename ...
[13:33] <marius> Circus-Killer, i know
[13:33] <unop> iopk, what editor/file viewer do you use to view this file?
[13:33] <iopk> unop: it's an old postgres, so the -E option is not available yet
[13:33] <sluimers> DistroJockey: after a while yes
[13:33] <iopk> unop: nano
[13:33] <marius> Circus-Killer, i choosed the wrong tab
[13:34] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I killed the data-server and it's running much better now
[13:34] <unop> iopk, what does $LANG contain?
[13:34] <iopk> nothing
[13:34] <iopk> neither does  $LC_ALL
[13:34] <iopk> nor $LC_COLLATE
[13:34] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I guess that's it
[13:35] <DistroJockey> sluimers, ahh, k. I just removed that on previous installs if I had an issue with it
[13:35] <anirudh0> iopk: strange..LANG should be set
[13:35] <unop> iopk, try this.  LANG="en_US.UTF-8" nano filename
[13:35] <unop> iopk, or your utf-8 locale instead
[13:35] <DistroJockey> sluimers, but it probably prevents you from using Evolution fully or at all
[13:35] <sluimers> DistroJockey: I like evolution though, what's the data-server used for?
[13:36] <wigren> hello all, can some one help with sshfs?
[13:36] <DistroJockey> sluimers, there will be a bug report somewhere, probably with a workaround/fix
[13:36] <unop> iopk, you could also try this.  LANG="en_US.iso88591" nano filename
[13:36] <tom4ever> on system there is CPU1 and CPU2 whats difference ?
[13:36] <Guilo> hi all
[13:36] <Guilo> i am looking for a soft who could print posters
[13:36] <sluimers> ohhh.... calandar and adressbook, I see now
[13:36] <DistroJockey> sluimers, check out launchpad looking for evolution-data-server issues
[13:36] <anirudh0> tom4ever: probably different cores
[13:37] <sluimers> I had problems with that before in gusty
[13:37] <sluimers> okay
[13:37] <Guilo> a big image would be splitted into small pieces and printed on separate pages
[13:37] <anirudh0> Guilo: gimp?
[13:37] <Guilo> I didn't find such an option
[13:37] <DistroJockey> sluimers, atleast you can do it quicker now :)
[13:37] <anirudh0> Guilo: create or print?
[13:37] <Guilo> print
[13:37] <anirudh0> Guilo: dunno about that
[13:37] <sluimers> yep :)
[13:38] <sluimers> thanks DistroJockey

[13:46] <al80> I have a toshiba a200-27c (it's a laptop). How can I know if ubuntu Hardy Haron can use its internal modem?
[13:47] <dns53> Leefmc you may want to install ccsm, this will allow you to see what the plugins and shortcuts are
[13:48] <Kokos> HI! anyone knows any irc bot soft which reads RSS Feeds from sites?
[13:49] <Pici> Kokos: Theres an rss plugin for supybot.
[13:49] <dns53> Kokos write your own, they are not as hard to write as you would think
[13:49] <Kokos> Pici, supybot. thanks. i'll check it.
[13:49] <Kokos> dns53, maybe i'll try. heard that pear isnt so hard.

[13:51] <acp_> cwillu: no. I want a fresh install
[13:51] <cwillu> acp_, not dead sure on the alternate cd, from the live cd, you'd just kill the partion
[13:51] <cwillu> acp_, are you getting an error message?
[13:51] <kercyr> can anyone suggest a ubuntu-friendly laptop?
[13:52] <cwillu> kercyr, I've had success with acer's myself
[13:52] <Huntersdead> EEEPC?^^
[13:52] <cwillu> kercyr, dell sells laptops preloaded with ubuntu
[13:52] <dns53> acp_ there is a zero superblock command, give me a sec to find it
[13:52] <Fish-Face> Hi all, I'm having trouble with sound in flash playback, although other sound apps are working fine.
[13:53] <mgolisch> cant you just kill the partitiontable with fdisk?
[13:53] <cwillu> dns53, acp_, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<hd to wipe> , wait a few seconds, hit ctrl+c, and then continue :p
[13:53] <Fish-Face> I have libflashsupport installed, but FF doesn't show up the in the pulse volume control
[13:53] <Huntersdead> Does somebody know a channel, witch is used to talk about Wine?
[13:53] <cwillu> acp_, be careful with that though, probably wait for a better answer ;p
[13:53] <rblst> how can i do a dist upgrade directly from cd without internet repos?
[13:53] <Fish-Face> Huntersdead, #wine?
[13:53] <dns53> cwillu that's an option
[13:53] <acp_> cwillu:no error I just keep getting RAID1 device #0 - 155.2 GB Software Raid device while Im trying to partition the disk
[13:53] <cwillu> Huntersdead, #wine
[13:53] <Huntersdead> ah thanks
[13:54] <Fish-Face> Does this (FF not showing up in pulse volume control) indicate it's not using pulseaudio as it should be?
[13:54] <cwillu> Fish-Face, libpulsesupport is crashy unfortunately
[13:54] <orkun> hello
[13:54] <cwillu> Fish-Face, best bet is to install the flash10beta
[13:54] <rblst> how can i do a dist upgrade from breeze to dapper  from cd without internet repos?
[13:54] <orkun> hello
[13:54] <orkun> hi
[13:55] <Trey> Who here likes KDE over GNOME and Xfce?????
[13:55] <Fish-Face> cwillu, is that in the repos?
[13:55] <cwillu> rblst, probably easier to back up your homedirectory, reinstall fresh, and then replace your home dir
[13:55] <cwillu> Fish-Face, not really (they're probably gonna push it out eventually, but they've had issues with it)
[13:55] <cwillu> Fish-Face, it _was_ in the repo's, but only briefly
[13:55] <Fish-Face> cwillu, darn. Is there a deb floating around then? /me googles
[13:56] <jimius> i got myself a brand spanking new HP 2133 sub-note, but vista it hogging it's performance and quickly want to move on to linux
[13:56] <Leefmc> dns53, Can you suggest any compiz features that would cause these two? Super+V seems to make the window full size (not maximized.. just resized to full), and Super+C centers my mouse. Super+V is not controlled by the "Resize" feature in compiz.. or so it seems, i dont see anything bound to Super+V
[13:56] <jimius> but the notebook doesn't have a CD drive nor do i have a server available to me
[13:56] <khamael> is kde4.1 in the standard repo?
[13:56] <cwillu> Fish-Face, I take no responsibility for whatever this does to your computer :p http://nokia.cwillu.com/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>conn3_i386.deb
[13:56] <iopk> I tried the following: On machine 1: $ nano test. I input é and à as characters in there, save the file. SCP the file to machine 2. $ nano test, but there the file characters are not recognized ... how is that possible ?!?
[13:56] <nickrud> rblst that's not really going to work, unless you've never installed anything from the net on the breezy distro
[13:56] <jimius> so i want to install from the internet, any tips?
[13:56] <Fish-Face> cwillu, lowls
[13:56] <cwillu> Fish-Face, but it should work :p
[13:57] <dns53> Leefmc i'm no expert,  anyone else have an idea?
[13:57] <cwillu> iopk, there's no such thing as plaintext, not since the late ninety's :(
[13:57] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, I used ccsm's advanced search with all options ticked to search for  super  and saw the super+v one altleast
[13:57] <rblst> nickrud: hmm, thanx
[13:57] <cwillu> iopk, we just do a very good job of covering it up
[13:57] <Fish-Face> cwillu, well, I assume it's not so bad that it will hose anything other than flash :)
[13:57] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: You saw it? Whats it under
[13:58] <cwillu> Fish-Face, only because I'm not malicious.  A random deb can do anything to your computer if you install it
[13:58] <Fish-Face> of course
[13:58] <benjamin> Can I set the irssi to automaticly start when i start the terminal?
[13:58] <Fish-Face> cwillu, however, you need to update the deb... it 404'd
[13:58] <nickrud> lol
[13:58] <cwillu> Fish-Face, ah well
[13:58] <erlend_> Just downloaded a file called twonkymedia-i386-glibc-2.2.5.sh, how do I install that file?
[13:58] <cwillu> Fish-Face, honestly, it's easy to install
[13:59] <Fish-Face> benjamin, one way to do it would be to have a launcher to irsii which opened in the terminal
[13:59] <cwillu> Fish-Face, uninstall libflashsupport and flashplugin-nonfree, and then download the tar.gz file from adobe (the 10beta)
[13:59] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, Fitting (window to zoom level)
[13:59] <mgolisch> erlend_: its mostlikely an installer script, which installs that software
[13:59] <mgolisch> erlend_: make it executable and run it
[13:59] <benjamin> okey
[13:59] <cwillu> Fish-Face, and then just copy the *.so file into ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[13:59] <cwillu> and restart firefox
[13:59] <Fish-Face> cwillu, you can just install the new plugin over the old one?
[14:00] <cwillu> Fish-Face, you'll save alot of headache if you uninstall the old one first
[14:00] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, if you do an advanced search for super you will see then also
[14:00] <helpmeplease> I have a serious problem here. I have an Acer Aspire 5100. It has boot problems. I am on it currently. I belive it has something to do with the hard drive because every so often it wont boot and stays at a blank screen and the capslock light starts blinking and the system wont move. but when im able to get to the os its fragile, i have to be carfule what i load or it will freeze up and lock down. so with all that said, is there anythin
[14:00] <cwillu> Fish-Face, 2 months from now when it's time to fix everything properly, having a bunch of different flash versions will make your life miserable :p
[14:00] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: Thanks, i'll have to install ccsm it seems. Is it worthwhile?
[14:00] <erlend_> mgolisch: ok, how do I make the file executable? =)
[14:00] <Shujah> looks like a mem issue
[14:00] <nickrud> helpmeplease first thing, try running the memtest on the boot screen
[14:01] <helpmeplease> nickrud, what will that do? i know i have like 700 mb
[14:01] <cwillu> nickrud, eh?
[14:01] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, no problem. Very much so. A must have as far as I am concerned
[14:01] <Fish-Face> cwillu, I don't know how the current packages work... Is it best to uninstall flashplugin-nonfree
[14:01] <cwillu> ah, heh
[14:01] <Fish-Face> or is it best to just get rid of the old .so files
[14:01] <mgolisch> erlend_: chmod u+x file or use your filebrowser and set that in the file properties
[14:01] <nickrud> Leefmc compiz is crippled without ccsm :)
[14:01] <cwillu> Fish-Face, uninstall libflashsupport and flashplugin-nonfree, like I said before ;p
[14:01] <Fish-Face> oh
[14:01] <Fish-Face> I thought you said install ><
[14:01]  * Fish-Face fails at reading
[14:01] <benjamin> Why is the Harddrives/Places always on my desktop when i
[14:01] <dns53> helpmeplease do you have a nvidia? is it related to this? http://mobile.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/01/0142219
[14:01] <helpmeplease> nickrud i got a feeling its going to lock up in a second
[14:01] <helpmeplease> dns53 negative
[14:02] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: On the same topic, is a desktop reboot often required for key config changes? I removed the Super+V from compiz, yet Amarok still wont see its Super+V bind.
[14:02] <cwillu> helpmeplease, the memorytest that he mentioned will check if your memory is bad (a common problem)
[14:02] <Shujah> benjamin, by default mounted drives appear on hd, you wanna modify this behavior?
[14:02] <benjamin> Shujah, ye
[14:02] <helpmeplease> cwillu, ok wil try that. is there anything else i should try?
[14:02] <cwillu> helpmeplease, we're talking about the ubuntu memtest option, not your clicky thing that happens when the computer first boots
[14:02] <nickrud> helpmeplease it's easy, takes a while, but your symptoms are symptomatic of a bad memory stick
[14:02] <helpmeplease> fsck?
[14:02] <benjamin> i don
[14:02] <cwillu> helpmeplease, do that first
[14:02] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, restart of X may be enough (ctrl+alt+backspace) save stuff before you do that though
[14:03] <Leefmc> nickrud: What is it called "exactly"? Synaptic has no reference of "ccsm".  ccsm-simple?
[14:03] <cwillu> Leefmc, kill and restart compiz
[14:03] <Leefmc> erm, swap that. simple-ccsm
[14:03] <nickrud> Leefmc compizconfig-settings-manager
[14:03] <al80> I have a toshiba a200-27c (it's a laptop). How can I know if ubuntu Hardy Haron can use its internal modem?
[14:03] <helpmeplease> cwillu, nickrud, how could one of my memory sticks go bad?
[14:03] <helpmeplease> hell i needed one anyway
[14:03] <helpmeplease> srry
[14:03] <Shujah> benjamin, go to terminal > gconf-editor ... once it opens go to apps>nautilus>desktop & untick volumes visible
[14:03] <Fish-Face> al80, try to use the network manager to connect?
[14:03] <Pici> al80: Try the liveCD on it
[14:03] <Huntersdead> al80 One way sure is to test it ;-)
[14:04] <benjamin> Shujah, okey
[14:04] <al80> Fish-Faces: yes the one on the panel
[14:04] <Dominik> How can I list what hardware I am using in Ubuntu ?
[14:04] <al80> I wasn't successfull with it
[14:04] <cwillu> al80, I think there's a package to use winmodems (which most builtin modems are these days)
[14:04] <cwillu> !winmodem
[14:04] <Leefmc> nickrud: bahaha, i already have that installed. :D. Without that non of this keybind issues even exist because "ccsm" is what actually bound the keys over amarok. So how do i use ccsm to find keys it bound?
[14:04] <cwillu> al80 ^^^
[14:04] <nickrud> Dominik sudo lshw , lspci, lshw
[14:04] <helpmeplease> i think im jamed up anyone read this?
[14:05] <Shujah> The most success I had with a win modem was via wvdial - oughta check that out
[14:05] <nickrud> Leefmc under each of the modules, there'll be a keybindings tab. General has the main ones
[14:05] <Dominik> nickrud: thx
[14:05] <nickrud> Dominik that should have been lshw, lspci, lsusb
[14:05] <helpmeplease> nickrud, if you can read this im going to boot into the ubuntu disk and run mem test.
[14:05] <cwillu> Fish-Face, the link 404'd, or the file didn't install?
[14:05] <nickrud> helpmeplease no, couldn't see you talking about being jammed up
[14:05] <Leefmc> nickrud: Oh gawd loi, i assumed you guys were "searching" for it, not manually checking each of the 50 compiz features for the bindings hehe :)
[14:05] <jimius> is it possible to install Ubuntu through the internet, i have no CD drive nore a server with one. I do have a USB key of about 1 gig.
[14:05] <benjamin> Shujah, thanks you so much! :)
[14:05] <Leefmc> nickrud: Well thanks :)
[14:06] <benjamin> thank*
[14:06] <cwillu> Fish-Face, ah, nvm
[14:06] <Fish-Face> cwillu, heh
[14:06] <cwillu> jimius, you can make a usb key into a bootable livecd
[14:06] <cwillu> !eeepc
[14:06] <Fish-Face> aw bum
[14:06] <cwillu> jimius, ^^^ has instructions to do it
[14:06] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, as I said, I used the advanced search in ccsm to look for  super
[14:06] <nickrud> !install | jimius (there's several no cd methods there)
[14:06] <Leefmc> nickrud: On a side note, while im here, im trying to get btnx installed on my Mac Pro (it works great on my laptop), but i cant find it in the repos.. what am i missing? Did they remove btnx? Or is it in a non-standard repo?
[14:07] <Leefmc> DistroJockey: So you mean just advanced search for the keyword "super"? gotcha
[14:07] <raz> lol @ http://subt1.net/2008/7/16/howto-starve-at-the-drive-in
[14:07] <Fish-Face> cwillu, it looks like the plugin isn't being recognised
[14:07] <nickrud> !find btnx
[14:07] <Pici> raz: This is a support channel, please spare us from the random links.
[14:07] <cwillu> Fish-Face, what did you download?
[14:07] <nickrud> Leefmc apparently not in repos
[14:07] <cwillu> Fish-Face, make sure you extract it, and copy the .so file in
[14:07] <Fish-Face> ach
[14:07] <Fish-Face> cwillu, apparently FF needed two restarts
[14:07] <raz> Pici, sry
[14:07] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, yep, still need to manually check, unless you find the right thing to search on :)
[14:08] <Leefmc> nickrud: Argh, why did they remove it? It was at one point.. heh
[14:08] <jimius> thnks nickrud cwillu
[14:08] <Fish-Face> aaaand firefox just bombed
[14:08] <cwillu> Fish-Face, you uninstalled libflashsupport, right?
[14:08] <Quentusrex> Why is my streamzap remote only recognized sometimes?
[14:08] <Fish-Face> cwillu, yeah
[14:08] <Fish-Face> it's just being odd
[14:08] <Quentusrex> 1 out of 4 reboots recognizes the remote...
[14:08] <Fish-Face> first restart: "you need to download a plugin"
[14:08] <Fish-Face> second restart: no sound, crash
[14:08] <erlend_> mgolisch: have run the u+x on it, but it wont run.. =(
[14:09] <DistroJockey> Leefmc, super   does narrow it down somewhat though :)
[14:09] <xnv> I have some headphones plugged in directly to the back of this crappy computer and the audio is sometimes scratchy. I've had problems with scratchy sounds on other systems and it was sometimes solved by turning the PCM down, but that doesn't work (and I don't even know why that helped). Anyone know what might be going on, or how I can learn to figure out these problems on my own?
[14:09] <Fish-Face> third restart: currently playing ZP with sound...
[14:09] <cwillu> xnv, turning down the volume helps if it's scratchy because it's clipping
[14:09]  * nickrud thinks sound in linux is still a matter of black magic and incantations
[14:09] <cwillu> alsaalsaooooooossssssss
[14:09] <cwillu> grubgrubgrubgrubgrub
[14:09] <xnv> cwillu: Well, problem I don't have any speakers to amplify the sound, just these headphones. So am I screwed?
[14:10] <Fish-Face> cwillu, er lol?
[14:10]  * cwillu was making a black-magic incantation
[14:10] <mgolisch> erlend_: why not?
[14:10] <mgolisch> erlend_: in a terminal go to the directory wher ethe file is and type ./file
[14:10] <xnv> i.e. If I turn down the sound, then I can't hear it. :-)
[14:11] <Fish-Face> well, my problemo appears to be solved
[14:11] <DistroJockey> xnv, the package   pavucontrol   and the use of   alsamixer   may help
[14:11] <Fish-Face> thanks, cwillu
[14:11] <Fish-Face> buh-bye
[14:13] <funkja> I tried to update my video drivers and now everytime I reboot I cannot start X. Here is the error message: http://pastebin.com/m4518c5d0. Sometimes I have been able to get it to work, but the changes only stay until I reboot.
[14:13] <xnv> DistroJockey: OK, I'll try pavucontrol. Why would alsamixer help if the Gnome mixer doesn't?
[14:13] <DIFH-iceroot> how to see the speed from a devie? usb stick, hdd, sd card and so on
[14:13] <Leefmc> nickrud: For reference, apparently it exists under http://ppa.launchpad.net/daou/ubuntu 's repo. I swore it was also on the main repo, but i could be wrong :)
[14:14] <erlend_> mgolisch: hmm...ok, now it's working, but it wont create the directory needed, no permision... when I try to run "su" in a terminal first, I'm told I have the wrong password... always works with sudo though..
[14:14] <DistroJockey> xnv, may present more stuff (or make it easier to visualize)
[14:14] <Dusk_> how can i enable amd powernow for ubuntu??
[14:14] <mgolisch> erlend_: use sudo
[14:14] <nickrud> !find btnx ibex
[14:14] <nickrud> !find btnx intrepid
[14:14] <mgolisch> erlend_: sudo sh file
[14:14] <mgolisch> should work
[14:14] <Dusk_> it doesn't scaling cpu
[14:14] <DIFH-iceroot> how can i see the read and write speed from a device?? e.g. hdd or sd card
[14:15] <nickrud> Leefmc not yet in intrepid, but maybe it'll move out of that ppa
[14:15] <Soopa> hi everyone
[14:15] <nickrud> DIFH-iceroot for hard drive,   sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda   (or whatever your drive(s) are)
[14:15] <Leefmc> nickrud: I wasn't askin for anything on the last message, i was just letting you know :) (fyi thing)
[14:15] <DIFH-iceroot> nickrud: thx
[14:15] <nickrud> Leefmc I was hoping the ppa was just a staging ground. Not yet :)
[14:16] <Soopa> i have this alias, which doesn't seem to work:
[14:16] <Soopa> alias mountiso='sudo mount $1 /media/iso -t iso9660 -o loop'
[14:16] <Soopa> what am i doing wrong?
[14:16] <th0r> Soopa, why not install fuseiso and save yourself some headaches?
[14:17] <Soopa> what's that?
[14:17] <Dominik> is there a way to configure the Screenshot button so it automatically saves the screenshot on the Desktop, without asking you where to save it ?
[14:17] <Dominik> so without getting the popup
[14:17] <kane77> Dusk_, I would say it's enabled by default (try adding CPU frequency monitor to gnome panel), if not enabled just install powernowd package
[14:17] <mgolisch> Soopa: what error do you get?
[14:18] <mgolisch> Soopa: probaly $1 is not expanded before sudo executes the command
[14:18] <Soopa> mgolisch: /media/iso: Is a directory
[14:18] <Soopa> yeah probably that's what's happening
[14:18] <Soopa> how do I get around that?
[14:19] <Dusk_> os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3600+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 2.00GHz] mem[Physical: 1.9GB, 85.5% free] disk[Total: 62.5GB, 29.8% free] video[nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI-X GeForce Go 6100] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
[14:19] <Dusk_> kane77, it doesn't scale??
[14:19] <Soopa> seems like nothing is replacing $1
[14:20] <mgolisch> Soopa: yeah its get executed in a new shell, and $1 expands to nothing thats why mount thinks /media/iso would be the device or image file
[14:20] <nickrud> Soopa you could convert that to a bash function
[14:20] <Dusk_> kane77, ok it worked now
[14:20] <Dusk_> os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3600+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 1.9GB, 85.5% free] disk[Total: 62.5GB, 29.8% free] video[nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI-X GeForce Go 6100] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
[14:21] <Soopa> hmm, okay
[14:21] <mgolisch> yeah put a function might do the trick
[14:21] <mcquaid> not linux related but thought someone might now.  My friend gets his wireless network access from the land owner.  He rents the basement.  He now wants to hook his ps3 up to his own network.
[14:21] <eyyYo> what is the terminal command for a reboot? and can this be done without superuser?
[14:21] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ you went from 2ghz to 800Mhz how ?
[14:22] <mcquaid> I said get a router, but then I thought, wait a minute, the router NEEDS wired access to the network doesn't it?
[14:22] <nickrud> eyyYo you need superuser, unless you give rights in /etc/sudoers (do not edit this file directly, use visudo)
[14:22] <Gnea> mcquaid: not if it's associated
[14:22] <kane77> eyyYo, reboot, and it needs superuser privileges
[14:22] <ubuntu_> is it normal that LiveCD isn't fully translated?
[14:22] <administ__>  /msg nickserv identify weihua
[14:22] <nickrud> eyyYo sudo reboot | halt shutdown <many options> are the command line utils
[14:22] <mcquaid> like can the wireless router connect to the network upstairs via wifi and then have his puter/ps3 connect to his router downstairs?
[14:22] <nickrud> administ_ thanks for the password :)
[14:22] <mcquaid> Gnea, not sure I understand associated?
[14:22] <Gnea> administ__: you win freenode-user-of-the-day award :)
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[14:23] <Dusk_> ManualOverDozer8, yes..from 800mhz to 2000mhz
[14:23] <Gnea> mcquaid: well, it's mostly offtopic - google  wireless associated ap  and you'll get some response.  Try #wireless too
[14:23] <mcquaid> ok
[14:23] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ how ? i have 2ghz here but i dont know what speed it is running at, how i find out and change it , if need be ?
[14:24] <Dusk_> is there powermizer option for opensourced nv drivers?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> ManualOverDozer8: top
[14:24] <Dusk_> ManualOverDozer8, write /sysinfo here
[14:24] <eyyYo> nickrud: Okey, thanks. Although I dont get why you dont have to be superuser to issue a reboot in gnome, if you have to be superuser to issue a reboot in the terminal?
[14:24] <ManualOverDozer8> time of possession ? :P sorry dont know what that is
[14:24] <mgolisch> Dusk_: i dont think so
[14:24] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ ok
[14:24] <nickrud> eyyYo its some kind of pam magic (or at least it used to be, I'm not up on the latest)
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: good question
[14:25] <mgolisch> Dusk_: iam not sure if the binary drivers support that at all under linux
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: i work mainly from terminal so its transparent to me
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: you could always alias shutdownto sudo shutdown
[14:25] <ManualOverDozer8> Dusk_ nvm you wont answer my question
[14:25] <Dusk_> mgolisch, ok thankz
[14:25] <Dusk_> ManualOverDozer8, to this chat screen write /sysinfo
[14:26] <Dusk_>  /sysinfo
[14:26] <Gnea> administ__: please fix that.
[14:27] <eyyYo> ActionParsnip, yeah. If i give the standard user rights to execute /sbin/shutdown, is this a security risk (other then application restarting my computer)?
[14:27] <eyyYo> applications*
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: not sure man, if you are happy with it then go ahead
[14:27] <nickrud> eyyYo if you use the sudoers file correctly, you can give rights by user name to shutdown
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: you could always do a smidge of research first
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> eyyYo: i like having to sudo. makes sure you really wanna do it

[14:28] <ManualOverDozer8> not much i know old
[14:28] <lollydays> trying to recover some files from my buddy's macbook harddrive. Connected via USB, but whenever I try to open any files it says I dont' have permissions. Any ways around this?
[14:28] <ManualOverDozer8> but that wasnt the question
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> ManualOverDozer8: its a fine system
[14:29] <ManualOverDozer8> how did you change your CPU speed like that ?
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: try sudo for cli and gksu for gui apps
[14:29] <ManualOverDozer8>  /proc/ ?
[14:29] <lollydays> ActionParsnip... didn't work. It won't even let me open the folders
[14:29] <eyyYo> ActionParsnip, yepp, same think here. Although I'm making an application that should be able to reboot on command. And I don't it to have superuser privileges, so I guess this is the only way :) I'll do a bit of research.
[14:30] <ManualOverDozer8> ActionParsnip it works. yes, not a hot system, but been working for 10 years, with a few added parts and Nice Ubuntu install
[14:30] <eyyYo> Thanks for the help, nickrud and ActionParsnip!
[14:30] <ManualOverDozer8> ok that offtopic anyhow
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: whats the default file viewer you are using?
[14:30] <lollydays> um, i tried with nautilus and with terminal
[14:31] <lollydays> the folders have a white X on them
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: try gksu nautilus
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: any better?
[14:32] <xnv> My headphone jack isn't working. Someone with a similar problem was told to put "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" in their /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, but his computer was an acer. Is there a comprehensive list of model options somewhere?
[14:32] <lollydays> ActionParsnip: like a charm, thanks
[14:32] <nothing> seltsam
[14:33] <nothing> vorhin hab ich /j #wine eingegebn und bekam nen freiflug mit der meldung "Invite Only"
[14:33] <nothing> oder so ähnlich
[14:33] <nothing> drum hab ich gefragt
[14:33] <ikonia> nothing: #winehq
[14:33] <nothing> =)
[14:35] <tobago> is there a way to let virtual box guest access all folders of ubuntu host? i only know the possibility to create shared folders. but maybe b samba or?
[14:35] <tobago> by
[14:35] <tobago> maybe bridging?
[14:35] <tapas> everytime i want to download an alpha or beta of ubuntu i caanot find it via www.ubuntu.com
[14:35] <tapas> what's the trick?
[14:35] <tapas> where's it hiding?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: run that as little as possible, copy what you need and close it
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: the app is running as root which aint good
[14:36] <Asathoor> and now I try to set up xubuntu for my mother ...
[14:36] <vesslan_> if i do a minimal install of *buntu (no X etc) and compare it to a minmal install of debian, what would be the main differences concerning configuring the system?
[14:37] <lollydays> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. Is there a way I can change the drive permissions?
[14:37] <nickrud> xnv install linux-doc, the list is in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz
[14:37] <cwillu> lollydays, what drive?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> lollydays: you could chown it but id just copy the data to your local drive
[14:38] <cwillu> lollydays, if it's an ext3 partition, then sudo chown <your username> <path to mount> will work
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: its a mac thing
[14:38] <cwillu> ah, nvm then :p
[14:38] <lollydays> cwillu: i think it's HFS+, torn from a buddy's dead macbook
[14:38] <lollydays> :)
[14:39] <lollydays> thanks for your help, ActionParsnip
[14:39] <cwillu> lollydays, mount it with -o uid=<username>
[14:39] <zetheroo> is it just me or is the ShipIt service getting slower and slower?
[14:39] <lollydays> cwillu, I'll try that
[14:39] <cwillu> (might have to be the actual user uid, but usually mount figures it out)
[14:39] <nickrud> mount accepts usernames these days
[14:39] <zetheroo> maybe Ubuntu are getting too many requests for free CD's?
[14:40] <nickrud> zetheroo heh. My first shipit took 3 months I think
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> easier to download and burn
[14:40] <nickrud> or order from one of the resellers, for a couple dollars
[14:40] <shane_> hi, i cant seem to change my resolution when using dual monitors
[14:40] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip: except for people in Africa etc ...
[14:40] <shane_> it keeps reverting to the old settings ive tried using screen resolution and nvidia x server manager , any ideas?
[14:41] <wib> hi. i installed a new hard drive. it appears in computer:/// but it's not mounted on startup. how can i have it be mounted automatically?
[14:41] <Grey_Loki> Shadowpillar, are you saving the settings to your xorg.conf?
[14:41] <zetheroo> nickrud: in 2006 I was got mine in under 2 weeks
[14:41] <nickrud> !fstab | wib (add it to the /etc/fstab file)
[14:41] <wib> (it mounts automatically when i double click the icon in computer:///)
[14:41] <poningru> !automount
[14:41] <poningru> !auto
[14:41] <tobago> is there another possiblity to access the host (ubuntu) folder by the guest (windows) than using shared folders of virtual_box?
[14:41] <poningru> !mount
[14:41] <Soopa> !paste
[14:41] <FloodBot1> ubottu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:41] <nickrud> zetheroo warty took a long time, I think they weren't prepared for demand
[14:41] <tobago> is there another possiblity to access the host (ubuntu) folder by the guest (windows) than using shared folders of virtual_box?
[14:41] <Grey_Loki> Heh
[14:41] <nickrud> hahahahahahah ubottu got muted :)
[14:42] <poningru> ...
[14:42] <poningru> sorry
[14:42] <zetheroo> nickrud: now it says on the Shipit site that it will take 6 to 10 weeks to be delivered ....
[14:42]  * Grey_Loki laughs
[14:42] <shane_> yes nvidia x server has an option to save to xorg.conf
[14:42] <shane_> it does have an option add to or i can uncheck it
[14:43] <enry> what's the difference between ubuntu desktop and server? i have a server cd and i'd like to run ubuntu as a desktop... do i have to download ubuntu desktop?
[14:43] <shane_> "merge with existing file"
[14:43] <Soopa> nickrud: I converted that mount alias to a function
[14:43] <Soopa> like this:
[14:43] <Soopa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/32984/
[14:43] <Soopa> but i get the error at the end
[14:43] <nickrud> enry no, if you have a quick internet, just install ubuntu-desktop with synaptic after installing the cd
[14:43] <lollydays> ActionParsnip: since we were on the topic, do you know how to get a harddrive to mount when dmesg says "Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[14:43] <Soopa> i can't figure out what bash doesn't like about it...
[14:44] <Tux2K8> what command hides all windows and shows the desktop???
[14:44] <shane_> is there a way to set my xorg.conf back to default and start as if it was a new install?
[14:44] <Grey_Loki> shane_, on my desktop, whenn I was editing my display settings using the nvidia-settings-manager, I made a copy of my working xorg.conf, then overwrote the xorg that was there
[14:44] <wib> what's the ip of google.com?
[14:44] <Tux2K8> (i would like to make a keyboard shortcut to it)
[14:44] <kane77> enry, there is metapackage ubuntu-desktop that would install the desktop environment..
[14:44] <Soopa> wib: try "whois google.com"
[14:44] <enry> nickrud: what's with the kernel difference though?
[14:44] <shane_> well when i save it tells me it cant access the backup copy
[14:44] <lollydays> Actually, anyone, do you know how to get a harddrive to mount when dmesg says "Device offlined - not ready after error recovery"
[14:44] <shane_> Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[14:44] <wib> Soopa: DNS seems not to work, that's why i need an ip to check
[14:45] <nickrud> enry server is oriented towards servers, most particularly it can address more than about 3.2 gb; you could install linux-generic to switch to the desktop kernel
[14:45] <tobago> is there an virtual box expert?
[14:45] <mchasart> hi i have wifi troubles with eeebuntu nbr 1.0 installed ...on my eeepc
[14:45] <Sorlag> Hello all.. my Pinnacle TV card is not working.. can anyone help me with this?
[14:45] <kane77> wib, for example <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:45] <Soopa> oh i see.. it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:45] <shane_> tobago: ive got windows xp installed in virtualbox
[14:45] <nickrud> Soopa space before the () ?
[14:45] <mchasart> i don't know what's wrong exactly
[14:45] <wib> kane77: thx :D
[14:45] <tobago> shane_, is there another possiblity to access the host (ubuntu) folder by the guest (windows) than using shared folders of virtual_box?
[14:46] <kane77> wib, btw you can try the openDNS it has nice uptime..
[14:46] <Soopa> nickrud: I guess, though I have another function with the same syntax, and it doesn't have a problem with that one
[14:46] <mchasart> i can see wireless network ... i choose mine but no way to connect
[14:46] <shane_> tobago: havent tried sharing files yet other than i have a ftp server setup in ubuntu so i transfer files that way to windows...
[14:46] <mchasart> with ethernet all is ok
[14:46] <nickrud> Soopa I'm not a bash expert by any means, you might try asking in #bash
[14:46] <mchasart> is there some eeepc user here ?
[14:46] <bazhang> mchasart, yeah
[14:46] <Soopa> aha, good idea.. thanks
[14:47] <shane_> Grey_Loki: Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[14:47] <tobago> mmmmh
[14:47] <mchasart> so i just installed eeebuntu the last one ...
[14:47] <mchasart> even install i allways can't connect me through wifi
[14:47] <Dvlpr[away]> hm
[14:47] <mchasart> i believed that it was due to liveusb ...
[14:47] <joseph> I installed eeeubuntu yesterday. I had no problems though.
[14:48] <mchasart> but even installe i have the same ...
[14:48] <mchasart> eeebuntu nbr1.0 or standard ?
[14:48] <bazhang> mchasart, best to type the nick of the person you want to get the attention of; if its me then type baz <tab> and I will be highlighted
[14:48] <shane_> How can I revert to default xorg.conf and start over as if it was a new install (display wise)
[14:48] <Evildevil> Ciao a Tutti
[14:48] <Grey_Loki> shane_, restore it from a backup
[14:48] <axenory> I am havving some audio problems
[14:48] <mchasart> hum ok bazhang
[14:48] <rdav-kiosk> this box is randomly crashing, what can be done to find out where  the problem is?
[14:48] <joseph> I just downloaded the newest version from http://ubuntu-eee.com
[14:49] <shane_> Grey_Loki: didnt backup :)
[14:49] <ManualOverDozer8> joseph: how does it run ?
[14:49] <Grey_Loki> shane_, oops ;) In answer to your earlier question, perhaps this thread can help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/nvidia-settings-not-being-saved-599717/
[14:49] <shane_> i think nvidia x server settings cant save the xorg.conf somehow
[14:49] <mchasart> me too but two version available here joseph
[14:49] <joseph> It runs great
[14:49] <Pici> Check out #ubuntu-eeepc
[14:49] <FEELL> :list
[14:50] <mchasart> bazhang: so is there any solution ?
[14:50] <ManualOverDozer8> full version of ubuntu on eee ?
[14:50] <joseph> I used the direct download
[14:50] <bazhang> mchasart, to what
[14:50] <Evildevil> anyone can help me? i don't know how to know what graphic card i'm using with my laptop...
[14:50] <joseph> and used an external dvd drive
[14:50] <Grey_Loki> Probably slimmed down
[14:50] <mchasart> to get wifi works bazhang
[14:50] <td123> Evildevil: lspci
[14:51] <bazhang> mchasart, you seen the www.eeeuser.com wiki? or the ubuntu eeepc page wiki?
[14:51] <nickrud> Evildevil  lspci | grep -i vga , or install sysinfo
[14:51] <axenory> Hi, I am having some audio problems.... I am trying to play something (mp3 file) and it asked for codecs. I clicked on search and it installed the codecs it says it needed... now the file opens but doesnt do anything even though it says it is playing(the song) it stays in 0:00 of 3:50
[14:51] <mchasart> xandros is no more here .. i replace by eeebuntu
[14:51] <mchasart> i'm searching some information
[14:51] <ManualOverDozer8> EvilDevil  in terminal > sudo lshw -C display
[14:51] <shane_> Grey_Loki: that thread is telling me im running as a user and not as root, ill give it a try they suggest i use "gksudo nvidia-settings"
[14:52] <axenory> Hi, I am having some audio problems.... I am trying to play something (mp3 file) and it asked for codecs. I clicked on search and it installed the codecs it says it needed... now the file opens but doesnt do anything even though it says it is playing(the song) it stays in 0:00 of 3:50\
[14:52] <Grey_Loki> !repeat | axenory
[14:52] <nickrud> axenory first, try playing a different mp3.
[14:52] <Grey_Loki> shane_, alternatively, rename the file it's trying to write to to something else
[14:53] <axenory> nickrud, I have already
[14:53] <shane_> Grey_Loki:  do you use a dual monitor setup? more specifically separate resolutions
[14:53] <nickrud> axenory never hurts to ask, you'd be suprised (or not) at how many people don't
[14:53] <Grey_Loki> shane_, my desktop uses two monitors, yes - but they both run at 1280x1024
[14:54] <shane_> Grey_Loki: twinview or separate x
[14:54] <nickrud> axenory what are you trying to play it with?
[14:54] <Grey_Loki> shane_, twinview
[14:54] <rdav-kiosk> axenory, try the mp3 with a different mp3 client
[14:54] <axenory> mmmm it works now but thanks:)
[14:54] <axenory> okay!
[14:54] <shane_> Grey_Loki: when you change settings do you Merge with the old file or uncheck?
[14:55] <Grey_Loki> shane_, I can't remember - it's been a while since I had to change anything. I'm pretty sure I merged with the old file, though.
[14:55] <Grey_Loki> *remember exactly
[14:56] <shane_> Grey_Loki: thanks for your help you really helped me, if i have problems getting separate x to work do you know much about that area?
[14:56] <Grey_Loki> shane_, i'm afraid i've never tried using separate X sessions for each screen - just stayed with Twinview.
[14:57] <shane_> rebooting X
[14:58] <shane_> wow it worked how simple was that haha
[14:58] <shane_> Grey_Loki: one more question, how can i make my background not stretch across both monitors
[14:58] <mchasart> bazhang its seems no answer at the eeepc room
[14:59] <bazhang> mchasart, what have you done re wifi and what errors have you gotten
[14:59] <Grey_Loki> shane_, i'm actually really boring and use a plain colour, but if you're using XFCE to manage your desktop, you could probably set a 1280x1024 image to tile and it would display correctly
[15:00] <shane_> Grey_Loki:  compiz :/
[15:00] <mchasart> bazhang: i have no errors except that i can't reach any wireless network ...
[15:00] <bazhang> mchasart, what does ifconfig show; two entries or three
[15:00] <Grey_Loki> shane_, hmm - just find where you set a wallpaper, and instead of setting it to 'stretch', set it to 'tile'?
[15:01] <gsd> Hi, is there someone who can help me troubleshoot my apache?
[15:01] <shane_> Grey_Loki: wallpaper size is different than both m yresolutions
[15:01] <genii> gsd: What is it not doing that you want to troubleshoot?
[15:01] <mchasart> let me see bazhang
[15:02] <Grey_Loki> shane_, I don't know then, i'm afraid - if it were me, i'd play around with the different layout options and see if any of them looked right (auto, centered, stretch, tile, and so forth)
[15:02] <mchasart> ath0 is recognize but  wifi extension not here and etho extensio not here
[15:03] <gsd> genii: after apt-get install apache, I am getting the following errors:
[15:03] <gsd> Setting up apache (1.3.34-2) ...
[15:03] <gsd> dpkg: error processing apache (--configure):

[15:03] <mchasart> yes ...i know ...

[15:04] <shane_> Grey_Loki:  nothing seemed to work but separate X did the trick :P
[15:04] <genii> gsd: pastebin website is best.
[15:04] <genii> !paste | gsd
[15:05] <Grey_Loki> shane_, heh, cool :)
[15:05] <mchasart> ok thanks baz

[15:06] <Oli``> Is there any way to improve nvidia 2d performance? I have an 8800 with the non-free drivers and firefox scrolling/some js/flash performance is atrocious! Has anybody else had this sort of problem? Did you manage to fix it?
[15:06] <murrayc> Has anyone else noticed that Firefox's Add Exception feature is broken, losing the URL from which to download the certificate, so these sites can't even be viewed?
[15:07] <itai-michaelson> gsd why are you installing such an old version of apache?
[15:07] <murrayc> It just started happening today.
[15:07] <shane_> screen -a
[15:07] <Oli``> murrayc: I know this comment doesn't help but: "it works here"
[15:07] <gsd> I try 2.0.x same thing happen
[15:08] <bytecode> murrayc: I find the exception feature works for me too - I use it frequently
[15:08] <itai-michaelson> gsd, oh...this is the complete error message?
[15:08] <murrayc> bytecode: Yeah, it's always worked fine. It just stopped today.
[15:08] <gsd> itai-michaelson, is there is a slution for the problem?
[15:08] <murrayc> I thought maybe there was an update that broke it.
[15:08] <gsd> solution*
[15:09] <Grey_Loki> Oli``, which browser are you using? I used to have real trouble with flash/js in Opera, but switching to swiftfox/firefox sped things up noticeably
[15:09] <itai-michaelson> gsd, you get that only for installing apache?
[15:09] <genii> gsd: I would recommend: sudo dpkg -rP apache (and possibly apache2 if you have had same error there). Then sudo apt-get update; sudo dpkg --configure -a                then try installing one of them again. apache2 is preferred
[15:10] <gsd> genii, I will try this now, and I will paste the result 10x
[15:11] <shane_> test
[15:11] <Odd-rationale> fail

[15:12] <BTuser04> SALUT
[15:12] <selocol> how do i get my terminal to display big5 chinese encoding in a telnet session? all i see are messed up symbols. i added the appropriate locales in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/zh and i'm using urxvt, which should  pick up those locales... any help? thanks.
[15:13] <shane_> how do you run a program from terminal without needing terminal to stay open
[15:13] <genii> work needs me, please expect lag on replies
[15:13] <Odd-rationale> shane_: you can use screen...
[15:13] <scott_> How can I tell if I intalled the 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[15:13] <Grey_Loki> shane_, why not use alt+f2's 'command prompt'?
[15:14] <godlygeek> so, anyone trying out flash 10 beta 2 on hardy?  it's giving me weird graphical glitches, a la http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-470
[15:14] <gsd> genii, http://paste.ubuntu.com/32999/plain/
[15:15] <godlygeek> shane_: if you need to do it, background and disown the program, then exit the shell.
[15:15] <shane_> oh okay thanks guys
[15:15] <MXIIA> Where is text editor located? the actual file /usr/bin/?
[15:15] <Odd-rationale> MXIIA: which gedit
[15:16] <Odd-rationale> MXIIA: or "which nano" or whatever text editor you're looking for...
[15:16] <MXIIA> ok, thank you
[15:16] <jessid> Hello. I know this is going to sound strange: some of you knows if Linux has any application that allows me to generate .exe autoexecutable files that run in windows????????
[15:17] <magnetron> jessid, please elaborate on what kind of .exes that you want
[15:17] <shane_> exit
[15:17] <godlygeek> jessid: yes, you can cross-compile stuff if necessary, or create things that will run on the .net framework.
[15:19] <gsd> genii: any ideas?
[15:19] <genii> gsd: I am returned to the computer now from work. Reading your paste, one minute or so please
[15:20] <inflex> can ubuntu be installed via the net?
[15:20] <claes> Question, possible for me to use several programs like firefox and vlc making sound at the same time, because now I have like the first program uses it has the power of it and I need to restart to make the other program make sounds
[15:20] <gsd> thank you very much for your time
[15:20] <_punker_> inflex: you mean liuke from a flash drive ?
[15:21] <jessid> magnetron ,godlygeek I recognize I did wrong my question. Here i go again: With winRar I can choose several files to include into a .exe file. winRar decompresses this files into a directory and after that, it runs an installer that is written in java. I want to generate this exe file, because the app i have written is going to be used for people that has not experience in computers, so i dont want to change them the conditions they know to work.
[15:21] <brahmanaAA> Hi..
[15:21] <inflex> no, I mean, boot from CD or floppy with a very basic setup... and then proceed to get the rest via the internet
[15:21] <brahmanaAA> I want to know what all does "apt-get build-dep firefox" install?
[15:21] <genii> gsd: The configuration system of apache1 is usually /etc/apache/httpd.conf           in the apache2 model this is quite different. Most settings are in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default    and the ports/ip to listen on is in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[15:21] <brahmanaAA> Is it just the .pc files required by pkgconfig or something else also?
[15:22] <godlygeek> brahmanaAA: apt-get build-dep firefox --simulate
[15:22] <genii> inflex: Yes it can, using the debbootstrap method
[15:22] <gsd> genii: yes, I read that in the forum, just after I installed apache2, there is no folder "apache2" in /etc/"apache2"
[15:23] <genii> gsd: There is a FILE /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[15:23] <gsd> genii: in /etc/ there is no apache2 folder

[15:24] <andrer> anyone know a good way to share files over a WAN (VPN) between linux(server) and windows(client)... samba doesn't work well on WANs....
[15:25] <inflex> right, tx
[15:25] <ifireball> andrer: ssh-copy (a.k.a scp), you can use the pscp client shipped with putty
[15:25] <brahmanaAA> godlygeek, Surprisingly I get this: E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list Though I have sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:25] <andrer> ifireball: the problem I have is that the windows clients must MAP the drive... scp wouldn't do
[15:26] <thankyou_m> hello every body
[15:26] <scott_> Hi - does anyone know how to tell if the the 32 or 64 bit ubuntu is installed?

[15:26] <amenado> andrer-> have you tried nfs ?
[15:26] <andrer> amenado: is there any good nfs clients for windows?
[15:26] <ifireball> andrer: hmm... maybe try webdav (no exp here, but I've heared it can do what you want)
[15:26] <thankyou_m> somebody here experienced with abcde?
[15:26] <amenado> andrer i dont know off hand
[15:26] <andrer> ifireball: can webdav be mounted on windows?
[15:26] <gsd> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33001/plain/
[15:27] <ifireball> andrer: I think so, as something called a "web folder"

[15:31] <bazhang_> !hcl | Vegombrei
[15:31] <Grey_Loki> Vegombrei, you might also want to investigate Ubuntu Studio if you're using linux for serious audio editing
[15:31] <td123> Vegombrei: it could be, but I don't think it will be. You have to check the model and support for it in linux (google), I doubt it though since that is pretty exotic hardware :P
[15:32] <gsd> genii: Yes, but the folder is missing, and it is not there.
[15:33] <molgrum> how do i get java to work in firefox 64-bit?
[15:33] <cr0w> which it is the best one client for torrent on ubuntu ? deluge and trasmission they slow down to me so much
[15:33] <Vegombrei> thanks ill research it
[15:34] <magnetron> cr0w, if the seeders seed too little, the torrents will be slow. there's no client that can change that

[15:45] <Zoli> hi all, can I get some help? I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop. When I want to start install, my screen gets split, sort of like the image is moved on one side, splitting at middle. I suspect this is because of the intergated video, does anybody know a workaround?
[15:45] <saskwach> Agion, xmms?
[15:46] <fr4nk-k> Agion: works fine and doesn't need much resources
[15:46] <Cheaterman> Agion: mocp
[15:46] <_punker_> turn of the integrated video in the bios maybe
[15:46] <wols> Zoli: alternate installer for example
[15:46] <Agion> thx!

[15:47] <Cheaterman> Kattman: Already tried this (was the first try)
[15:47] <fr4nk-k> Tricky: What does Google say?
[15:47] <helpmeplease> wol, would i need to replace my hard disk?
[15:47] <helpmeplease> wol, could a magnet screw up the ram?
[15:47] <Zoli> turn off integrated video? thats the only video i have, so that would not be an option
[15:47] <Tricky> chase hit the customize button?
[15:47] <td123> Zoli: don't go with the 8.04.1 cd not the 8.04 cd that ubottu gave you

[15:49] <kindofabuzz> helpmeplease: umm yeah, magnets can ruin anything electronic
[15:49] <Zoli> whatever, i will google it up, alternate might be the keyword. Do you think it will work with Ubuntu Studio too? its a derivate, supoosed to be exactly as Ubuntu

[15:51] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: not helpful saying magnets aren't good for electronics?
[15:51] <gsd> genii: The problem became after a power down and reboot of the pc
[15:51] <acp_> is there still need to be tweaked?
[15:51] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, suggesting he lay them on his computer
[15:52] <chase_> How do you change the color of the bar at the top of the window that you have focused? on Human it is the crappy orange color

[15:52] <Cheaterman> kindofabuzz: not helpful telling me to let some magnets across my ram. if it isn't working it won't change anythinh

[15:52] <Leefmc> Question: With the compiz cube, how do you make 2 desktops on the top and bottom of the cube? (ie, 6 desktops)
[15:52] <bazhang> kindofabuzz, please take sarcasm to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[15:52] <Cheaterman> Magnets only make floppies fear
[15:53] <Cheaterman> Leefmc: I don't think you can :-/ sorry
[15:53] <kindofabuzz> bazhang: why don't you tell the person who asked about magnets to take it to offtopic also?
[15:53] <Leefmc> Cheaterman: Ah, k. I swore i had seen it before, but no biggie :)
[15:53] <gsd> genii: I know my option is to reinstall the whole OS, but I was thinking if there is a way to fix without reinstall.
[15:53] <Cheaterman> Leefmc: But you can take screenshots and use the cube caps plugin to make them go on the top and bottom
[15:53] <Cheaterman> Leefmc: It would make the illusion there are desktops on top and bottom
[15:53] <genii> gsd: Did you do yet a file system check after the poweroff incident?
[15:53] <gsd> genii: Yes
[15:54] <gsd> genii: Everything was fine, except the apache server.
[15:54] <Leefmc> Cheaterman: Thats a cheat (semi-pun intended) :). but thanks :)
[15:54] <btice> Hello. I'm running Hardy and when I put a DVD movie in the drive to play, Totem tells me, "An Error Occurred: Could not read from resource." The movie (region-1 encoded) plays fine in my home player. I peeked into the Ubuntu book in a bookstore, and it said to check in the forums...

[15:56] <btice> td123: I read that as I need codecs for Totem. Is that what you're suggesting?
[15:56] <genii> gsd: Try again for now: sudo dpkg -rP apache2                then remove from /var/cache/apt/archives the apache2 deb file. Also remove from /var/lib/dpkg/info      anything beginning with apache2
[15:56] <Cheaterman> enry: If you don't like big DLs, go GentOO...
[15:56] <genii> gsd: IKf the post install scripts got corrupted this will force them to be remade properly.

[15:57] <helpmeplease> what is the fan insie the laptop called that is to the exaust? Is there a special fan name?
[15:57] <td123> btice: to add vlc, go to add/remove, search for vlc and add it

[15:57] <chase_> I have seen 3D box desktops, How would I get it on Hardy Heron?
[15:57] <gregge> EnvyNG they were called...
[15:57] <enry> why is there a difference... aptitude install ubuntu-desktop vs apt-get install, one wants 592MB the other 1.8GB
[15:58] <SeveredCross> helpmeplease: Why the heck would it have a different name?
[15:58] <Cheaterman> enry: Because apt sucks
[15:58] <SeveredCross> No, because apt-get install pulls in recommended pacakges automatically.
[15:58] <Dusk_> power management doesn't show the remaining battery time..it only shows the percantage.is there anything that i need to do??
[15:58] <Cheaterman> enry: Apt is very very bad at managing dependencies
[15:58] <SeveredCross> aptitude probably doesn't.
[15:58] <td123> enry: go with the lower one :)
[15:58] <SeveredCross> Also, aptitude still doesn't do some things that apt-get does.
[15:58] <Cheaterman> SeveredCross: Nope
[15:58] <gregge> best drivers for nvidia geforce 8400 anyone?
[15:58] <SeveredCross> (Ie. build-dep, source)

[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge the 8000 series has always been a pain.

[16:05] <jedimind> anyone know why that started hapenning recently? quite often when when i log in i get that and get no styles, then after about 5 minutes it kicks in by itself
[16:05] <foetus> Question: what is the difference between nogroup and users?
[16:06] <gregge> There's one there in "hardware drivers" called "NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers(latest cards) :Not in use.... should I simply activate it?

[16:07] <gsd> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33010/plain/
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge start by enableing the restricted hardware drivers.  , once those load you will reboot and see if you get dumped.  we can go from there. If you cant get any useable screen go to recovery mode and sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new and or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge yes, activate it
[16:08] <gregge> erUSUL: : Ok.. i just maybe I had to deactive the ones I'm using first... btw how do I check what drivers I use now?

[16:11] <gregge> my keys jump around for some reason
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge I dont know how to find out what you are currently using.  BUt I did find that I lost 450 fps when I got the drivers from nvidia direclty.
[16:12] <Pascal[Quebec]> I'm trying to do a movie with mencoder from lot of jpg pictures...
[16:12] <MrNaz> in ubuntu 8.04 i dont see any System -> Preferences menu... has it been moved elsewhere? i dont see any of the things people talk about in it (such as "Hardware" and "Appearance") in any of the other menus
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge everything else looed the same
[16:12] <coz_> MrNaz,  its called  Main Menu
[16:13] <Pascal[Quebec]> ...
[16:13] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: damn... must be one heck of a system you've got though :) but you still think I could try these drivers to see if they're better?
[16:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Pascal[Quebec] I used a tool called manslide to make my slideshow.. kinda cool

[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge clilc and install the restricted drivers
[16:14] <geirha> Pascal[Quebec]: Don't think there's much you can do. That error generally means there's a coding error in the program.
[16:15] <geirha> Pascal[Quebec]: reporting it on launchpad.net would be your best option
[16:15] <gregge> Jack_Sparrow: clilc?
[16:15] <Pascal[Quebec]> mencoder have an error in code?

[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> gregge go for it while I can still be around to help.  All bets off when the wife wakes up
[16:16] <geirha> Pascal[Quebec]: not necessarily in mencoder, it could be in a library mencoder uses
[16:16] <Pascal[Quebec]> oh
[16:17] <zvacet> ZStar . what kind of problems
[16:17] <ZStar> synaptic couldn't find the security packages so I put a # in front of the appropriate lines in /apt/etc/sources.list to skip them

[16:49] <Kasle> I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, but i wanted to try out KDE4, so i installed it and made kde my standard screen manager. the only problem is that i chose to stay in ubuntu, so i uinstalled KDE but i unfortonally left the standard screen manager as KDE. Now i cant start ubuntu. The only thing that pops up is a terminal. Does anyone know how i can change to gde? Anyone?? =)

[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> JuanTelez I saw a bug listing for that.  But I dont have any links
[16:50] <JuanTelez> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[16:50] <zvacet> JuanTelez : wait a sec
[16:50] <JuanTelez> how can I cancel this to carry on with the upgrade?
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ZStar sep home is the only way to go, however it will not save everything you have installed
[16:51] <summatusmentis> I should be able to pull a drive from a computer, install ubuntu onto the drive, and put the drive back in the original computer, and not run into any issues right?
[16:51] <summatusmentis> aside from potential non-supported hardware
[16:52] <dandoly> hi
[16:52] <Jack_Sparrow> summatusmentis there will be hardware detection
[16:52] <summatusmentis> Jack_Sparrow: during the installation?
[16:52] <RubberHound> Is there a sound-issues related room?
[16:52] <bazhang> #alsa
[16:52] <summatusmentis> but the hardware detection is just so it knows which modules to use, right?
[16:52] <RubberHound> bazhang, thanks
[16:53] <Jack_Sparrow> summatusmentis once you boot the drive in the new computer there are often little issues, but it does work
[16:53] <ZStar> I'll back up my files on CD :)

[17:10] <bazhang> arnoldk67, no one step but you can upgrade to gutsy then hardy
[17:10] <RequinB4> Manolo90 - long story short, compiz fusion is a merge of beryl and compiz, beryl used Emerald as a window decorator, so it's easy to use in compiz too

[17:17] <RequinB4> amikrop - The problem is that the benefits to doing so aren't always apparent to them.  With windows, it's easy, you get money and a big userbase.  With linux, half of that is gone and a lot of the time you're catering to a group that has apretty good driver already

[17:20] <[-Mabus-]> RequinB4,  you could also take into account that Linux is more "user friendly" these days than it was say back in the 90's. making it more accessible to normal users
[17:21] <amikrop> RequinB4: aha :P
[17:21] <RequinB4> [-Mabus-] that too
[17:23] <RequinB4> wow, slow today
[17:23] <[-Mabus-]> I gave up trying to learn linux around 95, there was a lack of community support and people who did use it where apt to shun you if you had questions
[17:24] <RequinB4> Some distro communities are still like that
[17:25] <[-Mabus-]> boom diada bomm diada
[17:25] <RequinB4> hmm, does anyone know how to make a welcome message when you startup a gnome-terminal
[17:25] <fde> !ot | [-Mabus-]
[17:26] <fde> RequinB4: /etc/motd
[17:27] <RequinB4> fde - ?
[17:27] <acp_> hi I have a RealTek ALC262 Sound Chip with stereo speakers on my laptop,Im uaing the out-of-the box souddriver of 8.04 and its working fine except for Audio-out: (line-out / headphone), when I plug the headset the sound still come out in the speaker, is there need to be tweak?
[17:27] <maxim0512> Hi, all. I'm in need of some assistance with a printer setup issue on a new Ubuntu install.
[17:28] <Grey_Loki> Hmm - so i'm guessing an exempt is just a mute, rather than a full ban?
[17:28] <sidewalk> hey
[17:29] <sidewalk> im trying to share files in hardy, but when i right click on a directory i dont have the option "share folders" or something similar to that
[17:29] <RequinB4> I'm more interested in making a script run on startup that displays a welcome message than changing user@box:~$
[17:29] <sidewalk> am i missing some packages?
[17:29] <Grey_Loki> RequinB4, you can customise the login screen's message
[17:29] <Agion> how can I add songs to ncmpc??
[17:30] <Grey_Loki> Applications>Settings>Login Window on my system
[17:30] <fde> RequinB4: hmm, looks like you'd actually have to have ~/.bashrc echo /etc/motd ... but yeah, that's where it usually goes Message Of The Day
[17:30] <maxim0512> I added an lpd printer with a ppd file. When I try to change settings in the printer options tab of the printer configuration app, the settings all revert to their original settings when I click apply.
[17:30] <fde> Grey_Loki: He said gnome-terminal startup, not gdm
[17:30] <ifireball> sidewalk: I got "sharing options" when right clicking a directory
[17:30] <RequinB4> Not at the login screen, at a terminal (I have a gnome-terminal session for a background)
[17:30] <maxim0512> Anyone know why it won't let me apply the settings?
[17:31] <sidewalk> ifireball: well i dont
[17:31] <sidewalk> can anyone help me out with samba sharing?
[17:31] <Grey_Loki> fde, oops
[17:31] <fde> sidewalk: System > Administration > Public Files ? (version prior to hardy)
[17:32] <sidewalk> fde: nope, dont have that one either
[17:32] <FrozenFire> Has anyone had experience with the elographics drivers under Hardy?
[17:32] <Agion> can anyone tell me how to add songs to ncmpc?
[17:32] <warakadah> wekekeh
[17:32] <fde> sidewalk: what desktop are you using?
[17:33] <sidewalk> fde: gnome
[17:33] <ifireball> sidewalk: install the "nautilus-share" package
[17:33] <fde> sidewalk: version of Ubuntu?
[17:33] <RequinB4> Hold on, is this it?  under gnome-terminal edit profiles, Title and Command tab
[17:33] <ifireball> sidewalk: should be there by default..
[17:33] <fde> RequinB4: no... I told you how
[17:33] <acp_> hi I have a RealTek ALC262 Sound Chip in my laptop sounds ok except when I use the headphone the sound still comes out from the speakers, is there a driver that I need to install our any tweaking can you recommend?
[17:33] <sidewalk> ifireball: installing it now
[17:34] <maxim0512> I added an lpd printer with a ppd file. When I try to change settings in the printer options tab of the printer configuration app, the settings all revert to their original settings when I click apply. Anyone know why?
[17:34] <JC_Denton_> Ubuntu tells me the monitor refresh rate is set to 85Mhz when it is clearly not...
[17:34] <JC_Denton_> eh, 85Hz
[17:35] <Johnny> what is the key to bind alt_r
[17:35] <Johnny> mod1 is alt_l
[17:35] <Johnny> mod3 is empty?
[17:35] <RequinB4> fde - ok, now i see it.  thanks
[17:37] <Johnny> anyone know?
[17:38] <Johnny> how do i set alt_r to mod3
[17:39] <lupe> how do u uncomment this for multiverse and universe

[17:40] <unop> lupe, add the words  universe and multiverse to those two lines if you want to enable those repos
[17:40] <Johnny> how do i replace mod4 with the alt_r
[17:41] <s0|> hello, I am wondering if anyone knows the boot paramaters for an installing 8.04 on an adaptec 1430SA
[17:41] <rogue_trader> is there a kubuntu live cd with kde 4.1 available?
[17:41] <JeanEaccentaiguD> Hi there ! Can you help me to configure my dual screen ?
[17:41] <Agion> How can I add songs to ncmpc??
[17:43] <edmoore> hi all - just building  little ubuntu headless for for myself, set myself a budget and am throwing happily browsing. Quick question - are the dark days of wireless incompatibility and linux behind us? I want to chuck in a wireless card on one of the pci slots - do I need to be careful or should anything pretty generic work?
[17:43] <Manolo90> RequinB4: do you manage to install this? http://newversion2.deviantart.com/art/Intuition-90223788
[17:43] <MikeSeth> JeanEaccentaiguD: on my laptop, aticonfig did all of that for me
[17:43] <Johnny> Agion, did you set up your /etc/mpd.conf
[17:43] <Bodsda> edmoore, theres a list of compatible wifi cards on the wiki
[17:44] <MikeSeth> Johnny: you can do this through the settings of keyboard layout, it has quite versatile substitution options
[17:44] <unop> edmoore, the dark days are unlikely to ever be over
[17:44] <unop> !wireless
[17:44] <Agion> Johnny: no, how can I do that?
[17:44] <mbrigdan> is there a reason why only root can use '
[17:44] <mbrigdan> gah
[17:44] <Johnny> nano /etc/mpd.conf
[17:44] <Bogus8> need an rsync/filesystem guru... seems no one has a clue about my problem here:
[17:44] <Bogus8> I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir that is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is<PHONE_NUMBER>00"
[17:45] <mbrigdan> is there a reason why only root can use shutdown, but any user can click the little shutdown button and turn the system off?
[17:45] <s0|> ok let me try this anotherway, I need to slip a driver in before I start to intall 8.04, can someone help walk me thorugh that
[17:45] <JeanEaccentaiguD> MikeSeth, but with compiz fusion, nvidia, and a bad principal screen, it appears to be another pair of manches !
[17:46] <MikeSeth> JeanEaccentaiguD: i dont have an nvidia card so I wouldn't know, but it went smooth on my ATI X300
[17:46] <Johnny> change all the directories to your music directories Agion
[17:46] <Johnny> and make sure the user is set to your user name
[17:46] <Agion> ok, thx
[17:47] <s0|> ok, when I boot the 8.04 isntall sees the drives connected to the 1430SA, but it doesn't bloody see them as a raid. it sees them as idiviual disks
[17:47] <unop> mbrigdan, yes, the abilty to shutdown has been handed down from legacy unix where only root could shutdown - it remains that way to prevent users who log in from remote locations being able to shut you machine down
[17:47] <AzizLight> I want to make a symbolic link of the gnome-terminal but I can't find the executable, where can I find it please?
[17:47] <Johnny> what is the mod key for alt_r?
[17:47] <jpds> AzizLight: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[17:47] <mbrigdan> unop, yeah, thats what I was thinking, given that linux is still much more a sever OS than a desktop OS.
[17:47] <MikeSeth> s0|: switch into a console and use the raid tools to mount the volume [I dont know for a fact that they're installed]
[17:48] <unop> AzizLight,  type  which gnome-terminal
[17:48] <s0|> MikeSeth, how does one do that?
[17:49] <AzizLight> jpds: thx
[17:49] <unop> mbrigdan, well no, linux is just the kernel, you can use it in a desktop environment or a server environment - how the userland tools (GNU) affect the kernel depends on how they are setup
[17:49] <AzizLight> unop: that's cool I forgot about that command thanks a lot
[17:50] <matt__> can I safely shrink my windows partition and grow my Ubuntu partition with out doing a fresh install of ubuntu/
[17:51] <hemanth> matt__, even i want to do tht
[17:51] <unop> mbrigdan, it's the same on windows too - only a superuser can shutdown the machine using command line tools
[17:51] <MikeSeth> s0|: ummm.. mdadm(1) iirc
[17:51] <jameslr> matt__: did you use LVM when you initially setup ubuntu?
[17:52] <Raz0R> hi can anyone help me? i can't boot into my -21 kernel. everything loads ok, except i get fail on starting basic networking. it carries on but when it comes to starting the logon screen i just have a black scren, i can do nothing? please help me?
[17:52] <matt__> jameslr: I don't know what LVM is, but I used the live disk to size the vista partition and then installed ubuntu on the new space
[17:52] <Raz0R> everything works fine if i boot into the -19 kernel
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: what kind of network & video hardware?
[17:53] <Johnny> what is the mod key for alt_r?
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: try killing X - press C-M-backspace
[17:53] <MikeSeth> well ctrl alt
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Johnny: you assign it
[17:53] <MikeSeth> Johnny: setting up emacs?
[17:53] <Zmax> Hi. Given a file, how can I determine which package provides it ?
[17:54] <MikeSeth> Zmax: dpkg -S
[17:54] <Johnny> no MikeSeth
[17:54] <Johnny> awesome
[17:54] <unop> Johnny, mod key?  alt is mod1 .. so your combination is  mod1+r
[17:54] <Johnny> mod4 is too cumbersome to reach for
[17:54] <MikeSeth> dunno all I did was mapping caps lock to ctrl
[17:54] <Raz0R> MikeSeth i did try ctrl alt backsp but nothing
[17:55] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: then boot the box into no X runlevel
[17:55] <Raz0R> MikeSeth i have been able to use it fine until just now
[17:55] <Johnny> that didnt work unop
[17:55]  * delcoyote hi
[17:55] <rogue_trader> just to answer my own question: I just found out that suse offers a working kde 4.1 lve cd... just if anybody else wants to check things out
[17:55] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: what did you change then?
[17:55] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, i'm using the GNOME cpu scaling applet on a laptop and whenever i switch to battery power, ubuntu forces my CPU to stay at the lowest power setting (800MHz).  what should i do?
[17:55] <maxim0512> Can't change printer settings for one particular printer; running printer app under sudo doesn't help; cups error log shows "CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized"
[17:55] <maxim0512> any ideas?
[17:55] <Raz0R> MikeSeth network settings
[17:55] <unop> Johnny, do you mean the right alt key when you say alt_r?  also known as alt_GR on some keyboards?
[17:55] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: and *that* killed the X video?
[17:56] <Johnny> yes
[17:56] <MikeSeth> Johnny: interesting.
[17:56] <unop> Johnny, xev should help you find out
[17:56] <MikeSeth> Johnny: restart the box, in the grub menu, press e to edit the boot script (it doesnt save the changes to disk), and add 5 as the last parameter of the kernel line
[17:57] <MikeSeth> Johnny: then boot the box
[17:57] <Johnny> why?
[17:57] <Miesco> How do I check what sound cards I have
[17:57] <Miesco> like hw:0 and stuff
[17:57] <MikeSeth> Johnny: errrr not you sorry
[17:57] <unop> Johnny, alt_GR is keycode 113 or keysym 0xfe03
[17:57] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: that was for you
[17:58] <Johnny> what would i put in an .awesomerc file?
[17:58] <sulo> mm .. has anyone of you Ubuntu running on a macbook? do you also get a lightblue/grey screen for about 1 minute during booting where nothing happens?
[17:58] <Johnny> im replacing mod4 with alt_r
[17:58] <Johnny> or want too
[17:58] <Raz0R> MikeSeth wicd froze the system so i had to do a hard reset. when i came back i just get the problem as described
[17:58] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: either way boot the box into runlevel 5
[17:59] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: then you'll get the console and would be able to fix things
[17:59] <unop> Johnny, you want to remap the Super/Windows key? is that it?
[17:59] <Raz0R> MikeSeth can you tell me how to do this?
[17:59] <maxim0512> Never mind: solved it myself; copied ppd from $HOME to /usr/share/ppd then re-added the printer.
[17:59] <Johnny> i want alt_r to be the super key
[17:59] <fr500> does linux also have the 3GB limit for 32bit versions?
[18:00] <Kevin`> fr500: no
[18:00] <Kevin`> fr500: it depends on the kernel configuration though
[18:00] <fde> fr500: depends if extended memory is enabled in kernel
[18:00] <fde> fr500: By default, I believe Ubuntu turns the option on.
[18:00] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: plz see what i typed above (mistakenly addressed to Johnny)
[18:00] <Yamaneko> which is the best sources.list? 'cause i'm trying to install firefox3 final but it doesn't work... it says that he is the last version (2.0.)
[18:01] <Raz0R> MikeSeth ok
[18:01] <fr500> fde: kevin thanks
[18:01] <bazhang> Yamaneko, for hardy?
[18:01] <Johnny> what is the mod3 for?
[18:01] <Johnny> its empty in my xmodmap
[18:02] <Raz0R> MikeSeth and i do that on the -21 kernel?
[18:02] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: yeah
[18:02] <ptr__> Howdy.
[18:02] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: this will boot you into console
[18:02] <ptr__> So, I'm wondering if there's any way to get dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf to go through the whole litany of options it used to.
[18:02] <Raz0R> MikeSeth ok is that like a terminal thing? no gui?
[18:03] <MikeSeth> ptr__: specify lower minimum question level
[18:03] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: yes
[18:03] <Miesco> How do I find out what sound cards I have
[18:03] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: if you have never done this before though, this is gonna be.. interesting
[18:03] <Ahadiel> Miesco, try aplay -l
[18:03] <Raz0R> MikeSeth lol, im a complete n00b
[18:03] <Ahadiel> Miesco, that's a lowercase L
[18:03] <Raz0R> MikeSeth to linux
[18:03] <Miesco> thanks
[18:04] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: then you have an adventure ahead of you
[18:04] <Raz0R> MikeSeth will it be clear what i need to do once im in console??
[18:04] <Miesco> Ahadiel: I got a m-audio interface, its using [69364.086386] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
[18:04] <MikeSeth> Raz0R: not really. You will have to examine logs in /var/log and configuration in /etc/network to see what goes wrong with the network initialization
[18:05] <JC_Denton_> Ubuntu tells me the monitor refresh rate is set to 85hz when it is clearly not...
[18:05] <s0|> MikeSeth, I don't seem to follow,
[18:05] <Raz0R> ok
 no... for 7.something
[18:05] <Ahadiel> Miesco, Okay.... and what do you want to do with it?
[18:05] <MikeSeth> s0|: mdadm(1) is [as far as I know] the cli interface used to operate raid volumes
[18:05] <ptr__> ptr__: heh, cool.  That said, the dpkg-reconfigure man page says to check debconf(7) for a list of priorities, and that man page doesn't exist
[18:05] <ptr__> MikeSeth: err, wow, I'm a retard
[18:05] <Ahadiel> Miesco, You can set which audio card will be sued in System => Preferences => Sound
[18:06] <s0|> MikeSeth, I can only find the option to launch a shell and when that shell comes up it doens't know what mdadm is
[18:06] <MikeSeth> ptr__: install debconf-doc
[18:06] <ptr__> aha
[18:06] <MikeSeth> s0|: oh well then mdadm isnt installed or i may be wrong about the name
[18:06] <Miesco> Ahadiel: I dont think its recognizing my m-audio fast track ultra as a sound card
[18:06] <latoszek> Hello I have small problem. Anybody can help me ??
[18:07] <Ahadiel> Miesco, usb?
[18:07] <MikeSeth> s0|: try md
[18:07] <ptr__> MikeSeth: thanks loads :)
[18:07] <latoszek> I have problem with player mp3
[18:07] <sjovan> hey guys, i was playing diablo II, but i crashed. i did a ps aux | grep wine and killed both proseces. now a little fragment of the sound is looping on the speakers. how can i kill it?
[18:07] <s0|> I have a option in the list to configer MD devices, but the blooady thing wants me to partition disks before that which is f'ing backwards becuase it won't see the raid
[18:07] <latoszek> Hello people can anybody help me ??
[18:07] <mbrigdan> is there a way I can use apt to force a program to give me its configuration screen again?
[18:07] <MikeSeth> s0|: sorry I cant help you any more, never did this on Ubuntu myself
[18:08] <MikeSeth> latoszek: ASK THE QUESTION
[18:08] <Magicdead> hi. could someone tell me how i can change the x-server fallback mode? my display doesn't support 640x480 (or whatever resolution it uses) so with the current settings, it only makes things worse :)
[18:08] <s0|> I am tryingh to follow the manual (somewhat). can someone just tell me how to get the installer to pause and let me load a driver
[18:08] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: dpkg-reconfigure package
[18:08] <mbrigdan> thanks
[18:08] <drako> hi
[18:08] <MikeSeth> s0|: IMO there are boot time options for that, and you can also open the console soon after the install boots
[18:08] <Miesco> Ahadiel: yea
[18:08] <drako> anybody knows how 2 do a server on ubuntu
[18:08] <drako> ???
[18:08] <ptr__> MikeSeth: sadly, that didn't do it.  I want to be able to specify the driver and display modes, rather than leaving them up to xorg to autodetect (since xorg gets it wrong)... but those questions just don't appear to be *there* anymore.
[18:08] <drako> i really need some help
[18:08] <s0|> MikeSeth, what is the boot option to load a driver off a flash disk
[18:08] <MikeSeth> Magicdead: try ctrl-alt-+/-
[18:09] <Frog42> hello... need your help... i want to rip a dvd with acid ... ripping is working great an the movie is great but i have no sound ... what i did wrong?
[18:09] <mibocote> drako: what kind of server
[18:09] <drako> web server
[18:09] <MikeSeth> ptr__: maybe dpkg-reconfigure xserver-something-xorg
[18:09] <afallenhope> how do you turn on IPv6?
[18:09] <mbrigdan> could using nothing of my swap file cause a program to think that it is inactive?
[18:09] <^hellfire^>  /amsg siema lamki :P
[18:09] <mibocote> drako: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/web-servers.html
[18:09] <ptr__> MikeSeth: ain't no xserver-.*-xorg packages in ubuntu
[18:09] <Ahadiel> Miesco, Check the output of dmesg, and if it's there, it SHOULD be in System => Prefs => Sound. If no, I don't know what else to say.
[18:09] <^hellfire^> siema lamki :P
[18:09] <Frog42> hello... need your help... i want to rip a dvd with acid ... ripping is working great an the movie is great but i have no sound ... what i did wrong?
[18:10] <MikeSeth> ptr__: yeah, xserver-xorg-driver
[18:10] <MikeSeth> mbrigdan: inactive?
[18:10] <Frog42> hello... need your help... i want to rip a dvd with acid ... ripping is working great an the movie is great but i have no sound ... what i did wrong?
[18:10] <ptr__> sadly, that's not it.  I don't want to configure the driver, really---I just want to configure x to use it
[18:10] <drako> u know something about this??
[18:10] <drako> mibocote
[18:10] <mibocote> drako: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/web-servers.html
