[00:00] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, it didn't return anything
[00:00] <kk502> nickrud :)
[00:00] <boolka2> how do i install flash plugin for firefox?
[00:00] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: pastebin the output of "ifconfig"
[00:01] <thedonvaughn> boolka2: aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[00:01] <nickrud> boolka  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[00:01] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, did I mention that my wireless card is on pcmcia?
[00:01] <Pici> zoidberg: I'm not sure what to tell you then. You could always try forwarding the mailer daemon message to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:01]  * nickrud has to learn to type faster
[00:01] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: hmm. ok
[00:01] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, it will take me a long time to retype it in pastebin
[00:02] <dmsuperman> Is there a way to have both vertically and horizontally spanning virtual desktops?
[00:02] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, and I guess you need to run soon
[00:02] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: copy+paste
[00:02] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, ubuntu isn't on-line yet
[00:02] <wesolek> that's what I'm trying to do
[00:02] <nickrud> wesolek can't you wire it up? That will make your life much easier
[00:03] <dmsuperman> so I can have essentially 4 virtual workspaces? 2 by 2?
[00:03] <nickrud> wesolek just for the config stuff, seriously.
[00:03] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: oh. ok. how many interfaces showed up? and what were there names? lo, eth0, etc.?
[00:03] <mrpockets> someone wanna give me a hand with installing icecast from source
[00:03] <mrpockets> ?
[00:03] <thedonvaughn> dmsuperman: if you are running compiz, you can sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and add your desktops there.  If you are not running compiz, you should be able to right click on gnome's pager and change the desktops there as well.
[00:04] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: ?
[00:04] <dmsuperman> thedonvaughn, I am, but when I change both horizontal virtual size and vertical virtual size to 2, it resets the virtual to 1 or the horizontal to 1, so it will only let me have one of them be higher than 1
[00:04] <Danish989> hi everyone
[00:04] <jdsbluedevl> hi, does anyone know how to concatenate rar files that all have extention .rar rather than .r01, .ro2, etc.?
[00:04] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, eth0, etho:avan, lo, vmnet1, vmnet8, wifi0, wlan0 and wlan0:ava
[00:05] <Danish989> here's an installation question:  I just resized one of my hard disks and now there's free space and I want to install ubuntu on that. Which installation method do I have to choose?
[00:05] <thedonvaughn> dmsuperman: wierd.  I run compiz, also in debian at the moment.  Works fine for me.
[00:05] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: is this a laptop or desktop?
[00:05] <Draconicus> nickrud: Ignoring the extras, how's this look? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63120/
[00:05] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, both wlan0 and wifi0 have the same mac address
[00:05] <MrStitch> how do I tell irc that I don't want to see the joins and leaves from a channel?
[00:05] <thedonvaughn> dmsuperman: you running compiz?
[00:05] <MeatGrinder> MrStitch, depends on your client
[00:05] <wesolek> Odd-rationale - laptop, but like a desktop
[00:05] <thedonvaughn> MrStitch: depends on the client
[00:05] <wesolek> odd-rationale, poor mobility with this old laptop
[00:05] <dmsuperman> thedonvaughn, yeah. figured it out, i had to up the number of desktops. wonder why they would make you manually input a number that would be derived from the other 2 settings :S
[00:05] <MeatGrinder> jdsbluedevl, did you try opening one?
[00:06] <thedonvaughn> dmsuperman: cool
[00:06] <MrStitch> thedonvaughn: I'm using Gaim... came with Ubuntu
[00:07] <jdsbluedevl> MeatGrinder: nvm, apparently unrar e "first file" concatenates them all
[00:07] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: so all you have is the command line and you want to connect to the internet through your wireless?
[00:07] <MeatGrinder> jdsbluedevl, yup :)
[00:07] <dmsuperman> thedonvaughn, I've got dual monitor, and now a 2 by 2 grid of workspaces. That's 8 virtual monitors. I'm sure it'll be easy to lose windows now :P
[00:07] <MeatGrinder> jdsbluedevl, rars can be annoying like that
[00:08] <Draconicus> nickrud: I know it's just fine, but I thought I'd give you a treat and show you a nice, clean sources.list for a change
[00:08] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: could you describe your situation again?
[00:08] <dmsuperman> thedonvaughn, do you know if it's possible to set a delay on switching viewports when putting my mouse to the edge? like, I want it so if my mouse just brushes the edge for a quick second it won't switch viewports, i have to hold it there for half a second or something
[00:08] <Saint`Dia> When is the next release coming out?
[00:08] <RobC269> i got gpartition thing working..I found out the problem - the NTFS partition had "inconsistencies" and needed chkdisk run on Windows to fix it..which is broken -.- ..I have no problem accessing and mounting it on Slax, so I'm kinda puzzled as to why Ubuntu is giving me this error :/
[00:08] <Draconicus> nickrud: Huh. Can I put universe and multiverse on bugfixes? Do they even count for that repo?
[00:09] <mic21> I connect my computer to a server using sftp (with "connect to server" in ubuntu 8.04) and I don't have the permissions to download files and even for write but I can browse it ... it's very strange because if I connect with ssh in a terminal it's ok ...
[00:09] <wesolek> Odd-rationale, I've got the graphic interface... I mean everything worked fine till august last year, when I stopped using it. meanwhile I changed my wireless security from WEP to WPA and when I turned my ubunto on today (for the first time since aug) it didn't connect. So I tried to fix it and ended up messing up my interface file really bad
[00:09] <thedonvaughn> dmsuperman: honestly not sure on that.  would be useful i suppose tho
[00:09] <thedonvaughn> Saint`Dia: www.ubuntu.com will tell you that.
[00:09] <Danish989> here's an installation question:  I just resized one of my hard disks and now there's free space and I want to install ubuntu on that. Which installation method do I have to choose?
[00:09] <ScottONanski> Has anyone heard of a program called Magicpart, or something similar? It's a an ISO for partitioning hdd's,
[00:10] <Draconicus> ScottONanski: Partition magic?
[00:10] <Alex6692> Hi, when i press Mercury Messenger, Which i have just installed, It wont load it, does anyone have any ideas?
[00:10] <MeatGrinder> Danish989, just run livecd, click install, and pick the partition
[00:10] <wesolek> odd-rationale, I even tried to connect to a non-secured network and nothing
[00:10] <Danish989> if I use guided installation, wont that just install ubuntu on my primary hard disk? where windows is currently installed? I want to install ubuntu on the free space on my other hard disk
[00:10] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: what do you mean method?  desktop, server, and alternative?
[00:10] <ScottONanski> Drac> No, it's OSS.
[00:10] <Danish989> thedonvaughn: desktop
[00:10] <thenetduck> I am having a problem loading firefox. I can run : /usr/bin/firefox/./firefox and it will run fine, but I can't seem to get it to run when I just type "firefox" in the terminal, which I need so my links run properly. How can I fix this?
[00:10] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: oh i'd use manual.  give yourself a swap 2x your ram and you should be good.
[00:11] <thedonvaughn> i forget the options ubuntu has
[00:11] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: i suppose guided with available free space would be safe if that's an option, i forget.
[00:11] <Danish989> do I have to choose space for the swap partition manually?
[00:11] <Alex6692> Hi, when i press Mercury Messenger, Which i have just installed, It wont load it, does anyone have any ideas?
[00:11] <ScottONanski> Ah, it's called Parted Magic. :)
[00:11] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: yes.  manual you do the partitioning yourself.
[00:11] <dmsuperman> yeah, at least with vertical workspaces, because i have a habit of "slamming' my cursor at the top or bottom of the window to access the taskbar or close/minimize buttons
[00:11] <magicrobotmonkey> does anyone use hulu.com with hardy and the flashplugin-nonfree thats in the repo?
[00:11] <Danish989> scottonanski: why dont you just use Gparted already in ubuntu?
[00:11] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: try removing all other lines in your interfaces file except the followings: http://paste.stgraber.org/2407
[00:12] <Danish989> thedonvaughn: I have to create a partition on the free space, right?
[00:12] <wesolek> odd-rationale, I just installed wpa_supplicant and tried to do it this way, no luck, the terminal is hanging now
[00:12] <ScottONanski> Danish>> This is a way better program, but I need to part from boot cd.
[00:12] <MeatGrinder> Danish989, you can boot the livecd and use gpartition
[00:12] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: correct.  you'll need a swap and a root (/) a minimum.
[00:12] <Alex6692> Hi, when i press Mercury Messenger, Which i have just installed, It wont load it, does anyone have any ideas?
[00:12] <MrStitch> Gaim doesn't support the option I suppose.... any ideas for a better IRC client?
[00:12] <thedonvaughn> MrStitch: irssi
[00:12] <MeatGrinder> MrStitch, xchat
[00:12] <ij_kaufman> hi all.  i've never used any linux OS before, and what i'm actually hoping to do is not so much use it, but install it for the purpose of donating two old computers with a clean, fresh OS free of all the junk that i accumulated over the years.  in addition, i'm hoping/expecting for all data/files to be wiped off the box.  would that be the case?  is there a way to install ubuntu in such a way that it just reformats everythi
[00:12] <ij_kaufman> lready gotten everything off of both boxes that I need, so wiping it clean will not delete anything i need to get back.
[00:12] <Saint`Dia> Knoversation
[00:13] <wesolek> odd-rationale, ok, and then what?
[00:13] <Saint`Dia> konversation^
[00:13] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: restart your networking.
[00:13] <kee9260> hello.  am looking for some help for a know-nothing i know who is not me, but is trying to get going with linux puppy
[00:13] <MrStitch> irssi or xchat..... which one would be fairly easy for a newb to grasp
[00:13] <thedonvaughn> ij_kaufman: if you just install over your windows partitions on your hdd, you'll accomplish just that.
[00:13] <ScottONanski> Parted Magic is an awesome program. I was very impressed with it the first time.
[00:13] <Saint`Dia> How do I check which version of ubuntu I got?
[00:13] <Draconicus> I think we've lost nickrud ...
[00:14] <Starnestommy> MrStitch: xchat is easier, but I've found irssi to be more flexible
[00:14] <belkinhelp2> Anyone here have experience running Ubuntu on a ramdisk?
[00:14] <Starnestommy> Saint`Dia: lsb_release -a
[00:14] <MrStitch> thanks, I'll be right back with that then....
[00:14] <ij_kaufman> thedonvaughn, can u walk me through that, and or, point me to where i can follow such steps?
[00:14] <wesolek> ok done
[00:14] <MeatGrinder> MrStitch, probably xchat to start
[00:14] <kee9260> i want to be able to run a program i downloaded into XP in linux puppy
[00:14] <wesolek> odd-rationale ok done
[00:14] <Saint`Dia> ok, got gutsy.
[00:14] <belkinhelp2> !ramdisk
[00:14] <kee9260> and grab my music files and access them through puppy
[00:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ramdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:14] <Saint`Dia> When's the next release coming out?
[00:15] <thedonvaughn> ij_kaufman: all you got to do is download an ubuntu iso,  burn it.  put it in your pc, boot it up and install it.  Just chooose the option to use the entire hard drive when it asks.
[00:15] <Starnestommy> Saint`Dia: I think it's on the 24th
[00:15] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: try cconnecting with network-manager
[00:15] <Danish989> thedonvaughn: how do I create a swap?
[00:15] <thedonvaughn> Saint`Dia: ubuntu.com has that information, for the second time.  right on the index.
[00:15] <wesolek> odd-rationale ok
[00:15] <Draconicus> Starnestommy: Of this month? Already?  So 'm limited to 14K, much easier to ask in IRC, know what I mean?
[00:16] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: this is all covered in the installation documents by the way.
[00:16] <MacFlecknoe> anyone know where i can find an irc room on assembly?
[00:16] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: you have the networkmanager applet in the tray?
[00:16] <Starnestommy> MacFlecknoe: maybe ##asm
[00:17] <MacFlecknoe> ill try thanks
[00:17] <wesolek> odd-rationale, yes, in the task bar
[00:17] <Danish989> ok thanks a lot
[00:17] <wesolek> odd-rationale, I will reboot it now, it should be fine after the reboot
[00:17] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: what happens if you click it? can you see available networks?
[00:18] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: sure. reboot fixes a lot of things sometimes... :)
[00:19] <MrStitch> meh?
[00:19] <MrStitch> Odd.... am I in the correct place?
[00:20] <wesolek> odd-rationale, yes I can see available networks now

[00:21] <reya276> ’╗┐ ’╗┐I need some help mounting my external hard drive, for some reason I can't access it. Can anyone help? Please
[00:21] <MrStitch> By default... Xchat isn't suppose to show all the users in a channel?
[00:22] <Flashback> Anyone happen to know anything about xawtv4 for Ubuntu?
[00:22] <Starnestommy> MrStitch: it is, but you can right-click on a channel's tab and uncheck 'show join/part messages'
[00:22] <achandrashekar> reya276: what do you see when you type dmesg ?
[00:22] <Alex6691> What do i type in terminal to download Java?
[00:22] <dmsuperman> does anybody know a way using compiz and multiple workspaces that i can alt + tab and have it flip through all the windows open in all workspaces, then switch to the workspace that window is on?
[00:23] <reya276> a bunch of stuff
[00:23] <Shpook> If GIMP had batch options I'd be in heaven.
[00:23] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: can you connect to your network?
[00:23] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar:  no that great at discerning this stuff
[00:23] <M3TVF>  how do I configure an AX25 port to use my soundcard
[00:23] <MacFlecknoe> anyone here know assembly? i have a real simply question and it seems the assembly channels are all dead
[00:23] <Alex6691> What do i type in Terminal to download Java?
[00:23] <dmsuperman> Alex6691, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[00:23] <Alex6691> Thank you.
[00:23] <dmsuperman> or java5
[00:24] <thedonvaughn> Alex6691: you can always sudo aptitude search <keyword>  in this case java.  And it's sun-java6-bin or sun-java6-jre
[00:24] <MrStitch> Starnestommy: Danke!
[00:24] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar:  I can pastebin it for you
[00:24] <wesolek> odd-rationale, nope but right now I am running on WPA, maybe that's why
[00:24] <Alex6691> Thanks :)!
[00:24] <achandrashekar> dmsuperman: are you referring to ctrl+alt+<down arrow key> ?
[00:24] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: I am connected to a wpa network right now.
[00:24] <MrStitch> ahhh... it already feels cleaner in here. :0
[00:24] <Flashback> If not xawtv4, what's anyone using to watch DVB tv, that isn't Mythtv?
[00:24] <wesolek> odd-rationale, let me just try something (a tutorial) and I will get back to you in few minutes
[00:25] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: ok
[00:25] <Alex6691> It says Java has no installation cadidate.
[00:25] <M3TVF>  how do I configure an AX25 port to use my soundcard
[00:25] <Flashback> Alex: Use synaptic. Search for Java.
[00:25] <wesolek> odd-rationale, trying this right now http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[00:26] <Danish989> what is the difference between a primary partition and a logical partition?
[00:26] <dmsuperman> achandrashekar, for me that switches vertically between my workspaces. I have a 2x2 grid of them
[00:26] <Danish989> should I choose primary or logical? location for the new partition: beginning or end? and what about mount point?
[00:26] <mannytu> http://java.sun.com/
[00:27] <achandrashekar> dmsuperman: you'll need to switch it to four desktops with compiz if you wish it to rotate..
[00:27] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: take a look http://www.pastebin.org/29564
[00:27] <magnetron> Danish989: it's only possible to boot from a primary partition
[00:27] <Flashback> A primary partition is the first four partitions. After that, logical must be used. It's a hold over for the way things have always been done. Use either, it doesn't matter.
[00:27] <dmsuperman> achandrashekar, no no. that's not what i meant. I want to be able to alt + tab between windows, and have it show _all_ the windows on _all_ the workspaces
[00:27] <dmsuperman> achandrashekar, so when I select a window on another workspace, it will automatically switch to that window in that workspace
[00:28] <Danish989> if I want to have the boot option between xp and ubuntu, I should use primary partition then?
[00:28] <Flashback> Anyone here at all watching tv on their workstation? Something in a digital card perhaps?
[00:28] <Danish989> and what goes in the ''mount point'' ?
[00:28] <achandrashekar> dmsuperman: ive been able to do that..(or so from what i understand that you are asking) with the ctrl-alt-down arrow key
[00:29] <dmsuperman> achandrashekar, all the ctrl + alt + down keys do it switch to other workspaces
[00:29] <Alex6691> It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work.
[00:29] <Nasra> !pastebin
[00:29] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[00:29] <wesolek> odd-rationale, no luck again
[00:29] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: mount point is where you mount the partition.  For root you put "/".  for swap it won't have one.   Btw I'd just choose logical.  And you can boot from logical.
[00:29] <dmsuperman> achandrashekar, I want to switch between window focus. the normal way of doing that is alt + tab
[00:29] <Flashback> !xawtv4
[00:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xawtv4 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[00:30] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: you can see you network but can't connect to it?
[00:30] <thedonvaughn> Alex6691: make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list is in order and sudo apt-get update
[00:30] <MrStitch> Is Ubuntu subject to the same malware, spyware, and viruses that windows based users get stuck with?
[00:30] <Alex6691> What do you mean? o_o
[00:30] <thedonvaughn> MrStitch: nope.
[00:31] <achandrashekar> reya276: if you go open a console, and then cd to /media
[00:31] <wesolek> odd-rationale, yes I can see my network
[00:31] <Nasra> I have a question what do I put/write on the syntax part when using pastebin?
[00:31] <achandrashekar> reya276: do you see anything there that shows the drive has been mounted?
[00:31] <MrStitch> thedonvaugn: Is that because it's written in a different language?
[00:31] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: the drive is being read by the system, but form some reason it does not allows me to access it, so I can't mounted or it does not auto mount the drive so therefor I can't access it.
[00:31] <wesolek> odd-rationale, but when I click on it, I don't even have an option for wpa, only wep
[00:31] <Alex6691> : It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work.
[00:31] <gerro> MrStitch: if you use wine or windows virtualized it still can get viruses, and it is prone to them if you dualboot with windows
[00:31] <thedonvaughn> MrStitch: nope because it's compiled for a different platform.  Usually it's a windows .exe executable.  That means nothing to linux.
[00:31] <TheMusicGuy> hello, I know that RhythmBox uses Gstreamer for its audio support, but I can't find any gstreamer plugins for tracked music formats...(still looking though)...does anyone know of a way to get RhythmBox to play these formats, such as XM, MOD, S3M, IT, etc. ?
[00:31] <gerro> MrStitch: virtualized as on the windows part
[00:32] <thedonvaughn> MrStitch: gerro is right.. I suppose you could run a windows virus using wine (wine is a windows emulator which does run windows .exe executables)
[00:32] <wesolek> odd-rationale, the only place I can see wap option is when I want to create a new network, but that (after putting all the appropirate info) doesn't work either
[00:32] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: Also when I try to mount it, I get a message that says I have no access to do so yet, I'm the admin for the system
[00:32] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, generally, linux distros are exempt from viruses because A: it's written to be a more secure OS. Windows users generally want it to "just work", and by enabling things to "just work" a lot of things become automated, allowing viruses to slip by.
[00:32] <mannytu> I think the Sun has updated their JRE....
[00:32] <achandrashekar> reya276: are you first sudo su ?
[00:32] <MrStitch> So.... right now when I boot up my computer, I have the option to choose winblows or Ubuntu... in this scenario, you're saying my computer is still technically a p.o.s.?
[00:33] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, and B: because there are _far_ more windows users than linux users, so it's just more profitable for hackers/spammers to go after the windows base
[00:33] <achandrashekar> reya276: then im wondering if you have to create an entry in fstab for the device
[00:33] <Alex6691> : It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work.
[00:33] <cheesypieces> hi, any idea why i can't start the login settings manager? it starts to start up but then nothing happens
[00:33] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, Plus, linux users are more likely to know a lot more about what's going on in their system than windows users, so hackers and spammers generally don't bother
[00:33] <gerro> MrStitch: it would have to be one huge exploit for it to somehow write to the ext3 partition if your windows side gets jacked
[00:33] <achandrashekar> reya276: i ran into this a bit a go...and i had to do a google search to mount a device .
[00:34] <reya276> yes
[00:34] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: yes I am
[00:34] <Nasra> I have question for someone nice .....
[00:34] <Nasra> I have a question what do I put/write on the syntax part when using pastebin?
[00:34] <dmsuperman> gerro: or if you're like one of the many people who dual boot, windows will be able toe write to the ext3 partition using a driver you would install for just that purpose
[00:34] <MrStitch> I see... so, since Ubuntu is on it's own partition, then there is no problem?
[00:34] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: well, i'm out of ideas. sorry. I coundn't help more...
[00:34] <achandrashekar> reya276: i remember creating a directory in /media ...then I had to create an entry in fstab....then went about mounting from that point on.
[00:34] <water_foul> i've been able to tune my hdtv card with mplayer but i wanted to do it with kaffeine, can someone help me?
[00:34] <gerro> dmsuperman: exactly but you can use different file systems so that complicates the matter
[00:34] <Danish989> location for the new partition: beginning or end?
[00:34] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, unless you're allowed windows to see/write to the ubuntu partition, then booting into windows is very unlikely to touch your ubuntu partition in any way
[00:35] <gerro> MrStitch: pretty much none, just hope if windows goes down it don't take ubuntu with it
[00:35] <reya276> right but how do you mount it
[00:35] <water_foul> kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file?
[00:35] <Alex6691> Right so what do i type in terminal to install Java?
[00:35] <dmsuperman> reya: have you tried running that command as sudo?
[00:35] <MrStitch> Gerro - ROFL.... isn't that the case ALL the time... taking everything with it..hahahha
[00:35] <dmsuperman> Alex6691, "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" should do it
[00:35] <water_foul> kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file?
[00:36] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: the thing is I don't want to loose the existing files on that drive
[00:36] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, not with linux, it's exempt to windows asshattery
[00:36] <achandrashekar> reya276: like this ---in fstab -> /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat defaults 0 0
[00:36] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: what is the command to mount the drive
[00:36] <dmsuperman> reya276, have you tried running the mount command with sudo?
[00:36] <Alex6691> dmsuperman: it says this : Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate
[00:36] <gerro> MrStitch: oh and if you decide to do something crazy like I dunno delete random files in ubuntu, just watch out if your other partition is mounted there you might wipe it :/
[00:36] <wesolek> odd-rationale... maybe crazy quastion, can you pls check this link for me http://paste.stgraber.org/2407 I am just not sure if there should be spaces after -D and after -c in the 3rd line of the WPA point 2
[00:36] <dmsuperman> Alex6691, "sudo apt-get update"
[00:36] <sparr_> whats the easiest way to get files from a windows vista pc to an ubuntu pc?
[00:36] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: what is the commands?
[00:36] <gerro> MrStitch: that's /media
[00:36] <sparr_> over the network, no sneakernet!
[00:36] <achandrashekar> reya276: what that does is creates the ability to manually mount it - take a look here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/manual-mount-external-usb-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-519463/
[00:36] <dmsuperman> reya276, I don't remember off the top of my head
[00:36] <Alex6691> Thanks im updatin now.
[00:37] <water_foul> kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file?
[00:37] <MrStitch> Not sure if my winblows can see the linux part... haven't checked that out yet. However, I see that Ubuntu does have access to the windows partition.... I've already grabbed all my MP3's
[00:37] <thedonvaughn> Alex6691: heh i told you that about 10 minutes ago. ;)
[00:37] <wesolek> odd-rationale, where it says: connect via command line in the WPA Connection - WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK section
[00:37] <dmsuperman> Alex6691, no problem. after you update your lists, run the install java command again and you should be good to go
[00:37] <Danish989> thedonvaughn: what is ''location for new partition'' ?? should I choose begining or end?
[00:37] <thedonvaughn> Danish989: beginning
[00:37] <dmsuperman> thedonvaughn, it's a proven fact that people in irc channels either don't hear or just don't listen :P
[00:37] <Alex6691> thedonvaughn: sorry i didnt see :P
[00:37] <achandrashekar> reya276: it would look like this : /dev/sdc1 /media/FOO vfat defaults 0 0
[00:37] <thedonvaughn> Alex6691: yah i'm just bustin your chops :)
[00:37] <dmsuperman> achandrashekar, that's the fstab entry, i think he's trying to do the commandline
[00:37] <Alex6691> xD
[00:38] <water_foul> kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file?
[00:38] <thedonvaughn> dmsuperman: yup
[00:38] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: wrong link? I don't see what you're asking..
[00:38] <Danish989> thedonvaughn: thanks a lot!
[00:38] <achandrashekar> reya276: then i think you still need to create the directory in /media no?
[00:38] <dmsuperman> reya276, are you trying to edit the fstab or mount it commandline?
[00:38] <wesolek> odd-rationale http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684495 it's less than a half way down
[00:38] <achandrashekar> dmsuperman: ahh...im off  today with what people are "really" asking... not enough coffee...
[00:38] <achandrashekar> :)
[00:38] <water_foul> kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file?
[00:38] <dmsuperman> haha
[00:39] <dmsuperman> !patience | water_foul
[00:39] <ubotu> water_foul: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[00:39] <MrStitch> Sounds like I found the holy grail then... er... at least I'm on the right path. Now, I need to figure out how to install it on this other computer as a stand alone Ubuntu machine
[00:39] <Julolidine> If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem.  My wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore.
[00:39] <Alex6691> Thanks, Java is installing now :D!
[00:39] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, easy as pie. Insert LiveCD, choose install from the live desktop, and then when you get to partition just choose the guided method
[00:39] <dmsuperman> Alex6691, no problem :D
[00:40] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: the entry for the drive is already in fstab as I was able to access the drive a couple of days ago
[00:40] <dmsuperman> reya276, but you get permissions errors trying to access the drive?
[00:40] <achandrashekar> Anyone pretty good with ldap? --i have a server that is running very slow with ldap queries..and i need to determine if the database is hosed..any ideas?
[00:40] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: # /dev/sdc1
[00:40] <reya276> UUID=FBAE-335E                            /media/My_Book  vfat    defaults  0    2
[00:40] <dmsuperman> reya276, what's the entry in fstab look like?
[00:40] <achandrashekar> reya276:ahhh..okay
[00:40] <dmsuperman> heh
[00:40] <dmsuperman> reya276, remove the #
[00:40] <MrStitch> dmsuperman: Yeah, I did that with this computer, but having trouble getting there. I'm trying to do it right now so I can relay the exact error message I'm getting.... for some reason the darn comp doesn't want to boot from the CD
[00:40] <dmsuperman> reya276, that comments out the line, so it's ignored :P
[00:40] <Odd-rationale> wesolek: in that line. there should be no space after -D and -i e.g. -ieth1
[00:41] <dmsuperman> reya276, then run "sudo umount -a && mount -a" and it'll re-read the fstab
[00:41] <Zemus> Hey, what's the command to reveal uptime?
[00:41] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, open bios and make sure your boot order has the cd first
[00:41] <Flannel> Zemus: uptime
[00:41] <dmsuperman> Zemus, uptime
[00:41] <dmsuperman> :P
[00:41] <buzzsaw> i am a bit stumped    i just reinstalled   ubuntu-server   but... for some reason its not picking up that i am connected to my modem
[00:41] <Zemus> Thanks. :P
[00:41] <buzzsaw> cable modem that is
[00:41] <achandrashekar> dmsuperman: indeed! the #
[00:41] <reya276> ’╗┐achandrashekar: yes I get the permissions error and in the media folder I see a bunch of "My Book" entries each with an "_" appendend to it  for each time I used to access it
[00:41] <wesolek> odd-rationale, thanks!
[00:41] <Ashex> !font

[00:41] <adv> which backup tool should i use?
[00:41] <MrStitch> did that... looking in the bios for other clues... it's a bit different, and I'll get to that in a bit
[00:42] <dmsuperman> reya276, remove the #
[00:42] <buzzsaw> how might i go about setting up the comptuer to connect to the internet?
[00:42] <achandrashekar> reya276: is the # present in fstab?
[00:42] <achandrashekar> dmsuperman: has it right if that is the case. .
[00:43] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: oh man that command just unmonted my other drives and now it says they are busy and won't mount them
[00:43] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: umount: /: device is busy
[00:43] <dmsuperman> reya276, the command will unmount whatever drives it can. any busy drives it will say it couldn't unmount then, which is fine
[00:43] <pukeko> ..ok another question -- (box in question is an ubuntu dapper) --- cron.hourly/daily/weekly vs crontab -- i can not get scripts to run via crontab, its not a path, perms or syntax thing i'm pretty much sure, stuff from crontab/s just wont run! any pointers ?
[00:43] <dmsuperman> reya276, then mount -a to remount and unmounted drives
[00:43] <dmsuperman> reya276, "sudo mount -a"
[00:46] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: oh look what I got after that last command "mount: mount point /media/My_Book does not exist"
[00:46] <dmsuperman> reya276, create the folder My_Book in /media
[00:46] <dmsuperman> reya276, "sudo mkdir /media/My_Book"
[00:46] <ohnoesmilk> Hm. Does anyone know how to get wifi to work on Ubuntu 7.1 (explaining in noob instructions)?
[00:46] <MrStitch> Here we go... I should have the message in 30 seconds or so
[00:46] <dmsuperman> ohnoesmilk, it's usually pretty self-explanatory. if not, then google your paricular wifi card + "ubuntu" and you will usually get a good guide
[00:46] <Julolidine>  If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem.  After a restart, my wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore.
[00:46] <dmsuperman> ohnoesmilk, a lot of wifi cards work out-of-box, and you just have to go into the networks panel and enable / configure them as usual
[00:46] <Julolidine> iwlist scan yields     eth1      No scan results
[00:46] <pukeko> ohnoesmilk:check the chipset your card uses
[00:47] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: oh but now all the directories are locked
[00:47] <dmsuperman> reya276, the directories in your mounted drive?
[00:48] <norty> Question: Im trying to organize my music and I want to fix all the (IDE?) tags or whatever they are called, i try to right click on the file and edit like in windows but it doesn't let me, does anyone know how i can do this?
[00:48] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: yes, I want all the directories in that drive to be accessible to anyone who logs in to this PC
[00:48] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: as my wife access this PC too
[00:48] <errordeveloper> hi
[00:48] <imaginativeone> would someone help me to connect my ubuntu pc to my Windows pc?
[00:48] <errordeveloper> how to install ubuntu in chroot? without a cdrom ..
[00:49] <Lake> I set up a samba file server on a P3 500MHz 256MB box and sometimes I am under the impression that the transfer speed between server and other machines could be faster if the box was better. Is it just an illusion or is my box a discernable bottleneck ?
[00:49] <dmsuperman> it's probably part of your fstab entry
[00:49] <dmsuperman> i don't remember the exact command
[00:49] <magicrobotmonkey> norty: sudo apt-get install easytag
[00:49] <imaginativeone> how do I set up a samba server?
[00:49] <MrStitch> Ok, here we go - [   243.330499] ata1: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0xd0)
[00:49] <dmsuperman> but instead of defaults, it should be "defaults,umask=0000" or _something_ like that. i don't think it's umask, but it's something like that
[00:49] <dmsuperman> anybody else remember what it is?
[00:49] <imaginativeone> up til now...samba !@#$ing sucks
[00:49] <yacc> Lake: the only thing that will be slowing you down is potentially your disc subsystem.
[00:49] <magicrobotmonkey> imaginativeone: if you right click on a folder, is ther ea sharing options option?
[00:50] <MrStitch> Then, right after that, it keeps giving all kinds of other error messages.... odd tho, cause I thought I told it to install to the scsi drives, but it's trying for the ata drive?
[00:50] <imaginativeone> in windows?
[00:50] <yacc> Lake: On the hardware you describe it's probably some old slow PATA setup.
[00:50] <Lake> yacc: what do you mean by 'disc subsystem' ?
[00:50] <reya276> yes it was umask077
[00:50] <Lake> yacc: oh yes it is !
[00:50] <magicrobotmonkey> imaginativeone: no, in ubuntu
[00:50] <dmsuperman> reya276, make it 000, umask is the reverse of ubuntu perms
[00:50] <yacc> Lake: Basically, you should verify that you have at least DMA support for your IDE controller/disc.
[00:50] <dmsuperman> reya276, the numbers are what operations to disallow
[00:50] <Lake> yacc: so it's not the cpu itself, it's the PATA
[00:50] <dmsuperman> reya276, i'm almost 100% sure at least
[00:50] <yacc> Lake: hdparm should tell you tht.
[00:51] <magicrobotmonkey> imaginativeone: but if you have a shared folder in windows and its on the same network as ubuntu, you should be able to browse to it
[00:51] <achandrashekar> battle for wesnoth!...lol
[00:51] <yacc> Lake: IDE/ATA comes in a number of levels of "hellness".
[00:51] <imaginativeone> magicrobotmonkey: where do I look for that?
[00:51] <Lake> yacc: less is better ?
[00:51] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: ok it used to have umask=077
[00:52] <dmsuperman> reya276, yeah, it should be either umask=0007 or umask=0000, depending on how you want it.
[00:52] <dmsuperman> reya276, but 0007 should be fine for local users
[00:52] <dmsuperman> reya276, then once you edit it, remount the drives
[00:52] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: ah ok then
[00:52] <yacc> Lake: well, run hdparm -d /dev/hda <= that will tell if your hardware at least uses DMA.
[00:52] <dmsuperman> reya276, "sudo umount -a" " sudo mount -a"
[00:52] <Lake> yacc: all right, one second
[00:53] <UBUNTUJAY123> whats the edit command in xubuntu
[00:53] <reya276> dmsuperman: I got an error "[mntent]: line 12 in /etc/fstab is bad"
[00:53] <UBUNTUJAY123> gedit dont work
[00:53] <Flannel> UBUNTUJAY123: mousepad
[00:53] <yacc> Lake: and you should probably check first the docs if hdparm -d does not destroy your hardware :-P (no it does not, but sometimes there are joksters around :-p)
[00:53] <Flyerfye> try
[00:53] <dmsuperman> post that line
[00:55] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: I'll post the whole fstab file
[00:55] <dmsuperman> pastebin it
[00:55] <UBUNTUJAY123> it still didnt work
[00:55] <Lake> yacc: whats the command used to bring up connected drives ?
[00:55] <dmsuperman> UBUNTUJAY123, try vim or nano
[00:55] <dmsuperman> UBUNTUJAY123, they're command line editors
[00:56] <yacc> Lake: I remember once when a colleague and me were quite irritated by the "root" at a customers installation, and while waiting for the email round trip painted out ways to make that stupid MSCE execute rm -Rf without us being implicated by the email.
[00:56] <yacc> Lake: connected drives?
[00:56] <imaginativeone> how do I connect to windows?
[00:56] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, what do you mean "connect"
[00:56] <reya276> dmsuperman: http://www.pastebin.org/29568
[00:56] <Lake> yacc: well I want to list the drives that buntu sees
[00:56] <n2diy> Lake: mount
[00:57] <imaginativeone> dmsuperman: I would like to transfer files to/from my XP machine
[00:57] <kindofabuzz> awn manager just dissappears when i opne it
[00:57] <kindofabuzz> open
[00:57] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, install samba, and then you can just setup network shares
[00:57] <Lake> yacc: /dev/sdb5, thats all I get returned
[00:57] <imaginativeone> dmsuperman: that is WORK
[00:58] <imaginativeone> samba is damn near impossible for a newbie
[00:58] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, ?
[00:58] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, it's _cake_ to use
[00:58] <imaginativeone> LOL
[00:58] <reya276> ’╗┐dmsuperman: did you see the pastebin link
[00:58] <Lake> yacc: I am thinking rm -R isn't a nice thing to do :P
[00:58] <imaginativeone> kinda like a Ferrari
[00:58] <dmsuperman> there's a quick little gui, you choose which folders to share, and whether to allow write access or not
[00:58] <imaginativeone> cake to use, but I'll be damned if I figure out the basics
[00:59] <Lake> imaginativeone: it's not that hard ! I am a newbie and it worked :P
[00:59] <dmsuperman> reya276, i'm not sure what the <pass> field is for, what is it? i always use 0...
[00:59] <imaginativeone> cool...is there a guide?
[00:59] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, like i said, choose folders to share, choose if they should be allowed write access, click save
[00:59] <Lake> imaginativeone: just edit the smb.conf file and thats the most of it
[00:59] <imaginativeone> and don't tell me O'Reilly
[00:59] <reya276> dmsuperman: oh I do not know anything about this
[00:59] <Lake> imaginativeone: or use the GUI dmsuperman says, its even better :)
[00:59] <dmsuperman> reya276, try 0, it's always worked for me and even the guide i was reading said they don't know what it's for and to just use 0 :P
[00:59] <imaginativeone> where is that gui?
[01:00] <norty> magicrobotmonkey, thanks
[01:00] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[01:00] <reya276> dmsuperman: put 0 where in umask?
[01:00] <achandrashekar> while..we're at it... what is the "preferred" methodology of sharing folders between linux boxes? nfs?samba? or ssh-keys then a mount of some sort?
[01:00] <ncburnz> you can use SWAT or Webmin to set up Samba.  Not too bad
[01:00] <dmsuperman> reya276, as the last field, where it's 2 right now
[01:00] <Lake> yacc: so any ideas on what to do when the output I got it /dev/sdb5:
[01:00] <reya276> dmsuperman: oh ok
[01:01] <Shadow420> hey I have made a guide I need someone to look it over its for dual booting windows/ubuntu
[01:01] <dsmith_> if I upgrade from7.10 to 8.04 do I have to reinstall the upgrade?
[01:01] <dmsuperman> does anybody know if it'll be a problem to install windows xp into my empty ntfs partition on the same hard drive as my currently installed ubuntu? I know I'll have to re-install grub, but will that be the only problem?
[01:02] <imaginativeone> you guys rock
[01:02] <imaginativeone> it is installing samba for me??
[01:02] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, it's what we're here for 8-)
[01:02] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, yup, quick and easy
[01:02] <dmsuperman> Shadow420, where's that guide at?
[01:03] <reya276> dmsuperman: that 0 thing got rid of the error output but I still can't access the drive
[01:03] <Shadow420> dmsuperman II have it on my desktop I haven't submitted it yet
[01:03] <dmsuperman> reya276, looking, i didn't even notice. you never changed your umask. make it umask=0007
[01:03] <reya276> dmsuperman: it says that the only one who has acess is root
[01:04] <dmsuperman> reya276, that will give everybody on your local machine access
[01:04] <dmsuperman> Shadow420, upload it :D
[01:04] <MrStitch> in regards to stability.... is Ubuntu more stable than windows?
[01:04] <Shadow420> dmsuperman do you want me to pastebin it?
[01:04] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, definitely
[01:04] <lekremyelsew> hi everyone, my friend burned me a data CD but my computer thinks that it is an audio CD, wut do i do?
[01:04] <dmsuperman> Shadow420, sure, however you want
[01:04] <reya276> dmsuperman: I did that but I still get this "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "My_Book"
[01:05] <Shadow420> it still needs to be edited and simplified for real new people to dual-booting
[01:05] <yacc> Lake: What output? Beside you should probably be running it on /dev/sdb :-P
[01:05] <erisco> how can I get thumbnails for .PSD images to show up, like they do for most other formats?
[01:05] <dmsuperman> reya276, 1: Upload your current /etc/fstab, as it is right this second, to pastebin
[01:05] <imaginativeone> OMG...you guys REALLY rock
[01:05] <MrStitch> What if a buddy gives me a cd, or flash drive with some files on it.... like an Excel spreadsheet, mp3's, etc.... will Ubuntu know what to do with that data?
[01:05] <yacc> Lake: *shucks* hdparm does not know about DMA on SCSI devices :(
[01:06] <Defunctus> hey hey
[01:06] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, no problem :D
[01:06] <imaginativeone> MrStitch: yes
[01:06] <Shadow420> hmm it's not sending

[01:07] <dmsuperman> reya276, did you remount?
[01:07] <dmsuperman> !dvd | style23
[01:07] <ubotu> style23: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[01:07] <reya276> dmsuperman: yes
[01:07] <yacc> dmsuperman: yes, but you get SCSI devices out of IDE devices nowadays.
[01:07] <tim167> i have a damaged disk, when i insert it (USB) it gets mounted automatically, and then i can not unmount it anymore ("cannot eject") how do i prevent it from mounting automatically ? i just want to run  ddrescue on it, it doesnt have to be mounted for that... thanks
[01:07] <FelipeMorales> hi friend
[01:07] <ds_> I really need help setting up a my network card/internet for 7.10 fresh install...I can't update without it :P
[01:07] <dmsuperman> reya276, then I haven't got a clue what the problem is, you'll have to wait for someone more knowledgeable :(
[01:07] <Shadow420> dmsuperman http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63122/
[01:08] <Danish989> how do I make a swap partition?
[01:08] <dmsuperman> Danish989, the installer for ubuntu will help you make it, if you're installing it. i'm not sure how after the fact though
[01:08] <Julolidine>  If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem.  After a restart, my wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore.
[01:08] <Julolidine> iwlist scan yields     eth1      No scan results
[01:08] <Pelo> Danish989, you'll need to boot the live cd to do it , you can't do it on a running hard drive
[01:08] <MrStitch> Are there any web-browser-based viruses/malware/spyware that I would be vulnerable to??
[01:08] <dmsuperman> Shadow420, alright, first off that first sentence is quite possibly the longest run-on sentence i've ever seen in my life :P
[01:09] <erisco> how can I get psd files to show up as thumbnails in nautilus?
[01:09] <Danish989> I did boot the live cd, and im installing ubuntu right now, I made a new partition and mounted it at "/" and I have 509MB left, how do I put that in a swap partition?
[01:09] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, It's dumb to say that you'll be invincible, but it's very unlikely
[01:09] <achandrashekar> Julolidine: I know this a stupidly obvious question..but you didnt accidently bump into the wireless network switch present on many laptops did you?
[01:09] <dmsuperman> Danish989, create a new partition in that space, and choose type swap
[01:09] <Shadow420> dmsuperman well english wasn't my best subject in school
[01:09] <dmsuperman> for the filesystem i mean, choose swap
[01:10] <Julolidine> achandrashekar, there isn't a network switch on the laptop
[01:10] <achandrashekar> Julolidine: k..had to ask.. :)
[01:10] <ds_> Someone help?  With 7.10 fresh install getting internet to work
[01:10] <Danish989> I cant choose swap it just says primary and logic, no swap
[01:10] <ds_> I don't know how to get the network card going
[01:10] <MrStitch> dmsuperman, I agree, that nothing is impossible. I'm just trying to get the basics here. I understand that ANYTHING is possible.
[01:10] <Pelo> ds_, was kind of internet ?
[01:10] <ds_> DSl
[01:10] <PzyBorG> Hi, does anyone know how to generate a /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file with the ubuntu live cd? i need it to replace the one on my hdd installation, since audio only works with the live cd, and not the full installation.
[01:10] <ds_> DSL..I know the internet works
[01:10] <ds_> just...fresh install on this other comp
[01:10] <Pelo> ds_, you have your password and username ?
[01:11] <ds_> for the internet service yes
[01:11] <Shadow420> dmsuperman well this is a way to bypass the use of a system rescue cd or using windows CD to fix the MBR
[01:11] <owen1> can someone send me a message to test beeping?
[01:11] <ds_> Through Centurytel
[01:11] <Pelo> ds_, tourter or directly conected to the dsl model ?
[01:11] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, but yeah, more than likely you'll never run into any sort of malware. I've never heard of any at least. Mac got it's first major malware/spyware/virus a few months ago, and i haven't heard of anything for linux yet
[01:11]  * PzyBorG is hoping that will fix my audio problem.
[01:11] <MrStitch> What about Javascript based baddies.... Java is suppose to be a cross-platform kind of thing, isn't it? Would I be at risk of those?
[01:11] <ds_> directly
[01:11] <PzyBorG> s/my/his
[01:11] <Pelo> ds_, open a terminal windows and type sudo pppoeconf
[01:11] <reya276> dmsuperman: I was missing this "gid=46" and now I can read/write the files on the drive
[01:11] <dmsuperman> Shadow420, you realize that many people don't have floppies?
[01:12] <dmsuperman> reya276, congrats :D
[01:12] <reya276> dmsuperman: thanks
[01:12] <dmsuperman> reya276, no problems
[01:12] <Shadow420> MrStitch I wouldn't worry to much
[01:12] <owen1> can someone send me a message please? i am testing it?
[01:12] <ds_> ok
[01:12] <ds_> I typed the command
[01:12] <erisco> how can I get psd files to show up as thumbnails in nautilus?
[01:12] <Shadow420> dmsuperman well when I get my new computer it will have a floppy drive
[01:12] <MrStitch> wow... so, for the most part - I'm about 95-99% guarded against the usual junk out there?
[01:12] <littlepinkdot> Need a little help customizing a script, how can I change http://www.wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL any of those to allow me to enter the URL rather than having it fixed in the .php?
[01:13] <ds_> Eth0, Eth1, Eth0 : avah
[01:13] <dmsuperman> You're lucky. my new mobo that's coming in 2 days doesn't even have a floppy header
[01:13] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, pretty much
[01:13] <MrStitch> Thanks... and darn... I got that same dang error message again.
[01:13] <Draconicus> nickrud: Sorry, I must have missed your comment earlier about my sources.list
[01:13] <dmsuperman> littlepinkdot, using mod_rewrite in apache will accomplish that
[01:13] <Pelo> ds_, let it pick it
[01:14] <BizMan2008> amenado, hey ive narrowed my vnc probelm to ssh
[01:14] <nickrud> Draconicus was away for a while, did you paste a new version
[01:14] <BizMan2008> i just dont know what in it would cause this
[01:14] <Pelo> MrStitch, what's the error msg ?
[01:14] <Shadow420> dmsuperman well once I figure out the proper way to make a personal grub CD then I will make a guide for that
[01:14] <dmsuperman> littlepinkdot, try like RewriteEngine on
[01:14] <dmsuperman> RewriteRule ^(.+?)$ index.php?args=$1
[01:14] <dmsuperman> in your .htaccess
[01:15] <Scunizi> MrStitch, one of your primary protections is not being in Administrator mode like most windows users.. also "bugs" have to understand your system to do things.. they like windows.
[01:15] <MrStitch> ata1 failed to respond. gunna switch something in the bios and see if I can get a different message.
[01:15] <littlepinkdot> dmsuperman, how exactly does that help me?
[01:15]  * Pelo reads what dmsuperman just typed and his jaw drops
[01:15] <BizMan2008> hey guys im trying to vnc through ssh,(from putty to my linux box), i have no problem on other machines iwth the same setup, but on my one machine in particular, i cant connect through vnc, it tells me connection initialized and then it stops
[01:15] <dmsuperman> littlepinkdot, that will redirect all requests to a folder to index.php?args=WHATEVER
[01:15] <dmsuperman> so
[01:15] <BizMan2008> ive narrowed it down to it being something with my ssh, putty settings are ok and so are vnc
[01:16] <BizMan2008> but what in ssh would cause me not to connect
[01:16] <dmsuperman> yourhost.com/ASDF/CHEESE will load index.php?args=ASDF/CHEESE
[01:16] <dmsuperman> then you could explode on /
[01:16] <zoople> hey, has anyone else had problems with Java stuff on the web freezing up?
[01:16] <dmsuperman> and get each part
[01:16] <dmsuperman> Pelo: simple regular expressions :P
[01:16] <littlepinkdot> dmsuperman, heh not what I wanted to accomplish, thanks though.
[01:16] <Pelo> zoople, with flash stuff but not java
[01:16] <ds_> Pelo,
[01:16] <dmsuperman> littlepinkdot, oh, thought you were after pretty urls
[01:16] <Pelo> ds_, ?
[01:16] <zoople> ah ok Pelo, my flash is fine
[01:16] <ds_> I said it scanned 3 intercaees, but the concentrator did not respond
[01:16] <dmsuperman> zoople, no, java works fine for me
[01:16] <ds_> But it is connected
[01:17] <zoople> like, youtube it totally ok..but when i go to a java based chatroom, its really really slow and sometimes have to force quit
[01:17] <ds_> both computers (this and his ) are to the same gateway
[01:17] <dmsuperman> zoople, try making sure you have the latest java. go to the java website and get the latest jre
[01:17] <Pelo> you are connected to the net ? you can surf ? be happy
[01:17] <zoople> what version of java and browser u using?
[01:17] <Shadow420> dmsuperman so until then this for people who have computers with a floppy drive
[01:17] <littlepinkdot> dmsuperman, after making a script utilizing cURL to download files directly to the server
[01:17] <Pelo> ds_, are youusing a bridge modem or a router/modem ? with two comps connecetd to it ?
[01:17] <ds_> Pelo
[01:17] <ds_> Oh
[01:17] <Pelo> ds_, put my nick in the same line as the rest
[01:18] <dmsuperman> Shadow420, well for that purpose it works :D
[01:18] <Pelo> ds_, basicaly the command I gave you was for a bridge modem , ei one that only does the connecting and can only have one comp on it.
[01:18] <ds_> Pelo It's a centurytel modem with a USB output as well as an ether port...this comp is using Ether, his is connected to the USB
[01:19] <MrStitch> Scunizi, is this why every time I try to access the system in Ubuntu, it asks for a password? I mean... as part of the protection?
[01:19] <Scunizi> MrStitch, yes..
[01:19] <loufoque> e
[01:19] <ds_> How do I install USB drivers with CD?
[01:19] <Pelo> ds_, ah,  not sure how that works, I think it's a bridge modem and you can'T realy have two comps on it at once,  even if therer are technicaly two connectors,  you'll need a router
[01:20] <MrStitch> arg... same error again: ata1: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0xd0)
[01:20] <Pelo> ds_, try looking up the modem's model in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[01:21] <ds_> Pelo it shoudl work...This comp is dual boot Kubuntu/XP, his was XP...it worked well when I was either and his was XP...so if my comp can work - How can he install USB drivers if he has the CD
[01:21] <MrStitch> Well.... anyways. I can't seem to get the same error I had before, but I'll monkey with it when I get back. My girls wanna go for a walk... gotta do the 'dad' thing, ya know. ;)
[01:21] <ds_> Pelo I forgot how to 'run' a CD for it's drivers
[01:21] <Pelo> ds_, does his cd have drivers for linux on it ?
[01:22] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, psh, tell them to go get on the internet and learn more about ubuntu
[01:22] <Lokii-> i just triboot setup a xp/vista/kubuntu
[01:22] <dmsuperman> :P
[01:22] <MrStitch> ROFL
[01:22] <MrStitch> good idea... they'll probably fix it before I will
[01:22] <Lake> yacc: well thanks anyways then ! even with DMA, I am pretty sure that the combination of 550MHz along with PATA connection as well as the fact that it's streaming over a cheap 40$ D-link router helps the slow speed
[01:22]  * PzyBorG wonders if anyone knows how to generate a /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file with the ubuntu live cd.
[01:22] <ds_> Pelo yes
[01:23] <Pelo> ds_, put the cd in , copy the linux driver over to the desktop ,  see if there is a Read me file in it to tell you how to install
[01:23] <Pelo> PzyBorG, doesn the live cd make one ?
[01:23] <MrStitch> Oh man... now it's saying: SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block blah blah blah blah blah
[01:23] <PzyBorG> pelo: nope
[01:23] <MrStitch> ack.... ok... I'm going now. hahahha
[01:24] <biabia> using ubuntu with xfce desktop, can anyone recommend a better xterm client than X Terminal Emulator 0.2.6
[01:24] <Pelo> biabia, how about xterm itself ?
[01:24] <PzyBorG> there's one on the hdd installation, but not when i use the live cd, and i need it to get my audio working, since it only works with the live cd, and i've tried pretty much everything i can think of and find.
[01:24] <usser> biabia, well there eterm
[01:25] <Draconicus> nickrud: Yeah. Here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63120/   Nice 'n' clean. :P

[01:25] <PzyBorG> -please- someone help, it's driving me insane!!

[01:26] <PzyBorG> tried that, didn't work - but thanks anyway. :)
[01:26]  * Pelo pushes PzyBorG over the edge
[01:26] <Draconicus> nickrud: Hehe. Right to the point, eh? Look good now?
[01:26] <nickrud> Draconicus but you might want to add universe and multiverse to -updates
[01:26] <nickrud> Draconicus yeah, easy to read, very nice
[01:26] <Draconicus> nickrud: I asked that earlier. was wondering. Gonna re-order the jumbled ones too, not that they matter.
[01:26]  * PzyBorG sticks his middle finger up @ pelo, & takes the 'thanks' back..

[01:28] <mrkeishii> whats up
[01:28] <ltcabral> hey ppl.. is there any irc channel for talking about latex?
[01:28] <christoz> Scunizi yes but have apache turned off already
[01:28] <smokeytheman> hello
[01:28] <christoz> Scunizi this is weird
[01:28] <Draconicus> nickrud: Updated perfectly.
[01:28] <Starnestommy> ltcabral: #latex ?
[01:28] <Pelo> ltcabral, have you tried #latex or myabe one with the name of a latex editor ?
[01:28] <Draconicus> nickrud: was giving bad repos before. Dunno why.

[01:29] <smokeytheman> i need some help as well if anyone is available
[01:29] <dmsuperman> Draconicus, I'm in awe of your sources.list
[01:29] <Pelo> smokeytheman, state the issue ifsomeone can they will try and help
[01:29] <Draconicus> dmsuperman: ...Really? -.o
[01:29] <nickrud> Draconicus not sure, without context
[01:29] <mrkeishii> how do you add the AWN Dock?
[01:29] <Draconicus> nickrud: Yeah. I didn't pay attention enough. Whatever it was, it's fixed now.  I now have some 40 jack-related packages instead of the measly handful I found before. Much better.
[01:30] <Scunizi> christoz, what's the ctl on the end.. I don't remember that.. but it's been a while.
[01:30] <mrkeishii> can't
[01:30] <mrkeishii> its say
[01:30] <Pelo> bouma, we'll pass it on
[01:31] <mrkeishii> could not find packages
[01:31] <christoz> Scunizi by this command i can start and and stop apache from any path
[01:31] <Pelo> mrkeishii, use synaptic, do a search for keywords
[01:31] <Schiz0|SD> Why is the mplayer version in Gusty (With the gusty-updates repo enabled) so old? It's using mplayer version 1.0r1, which was released in 2006. A newerversion was released in 2007. Is there a easy we to get the updated version?
[01:31] <mrkeishii> I just want to install AWN Dock
[01:31] <smokeytheman> whenever i try to install, uninstall or do anything with synaptic i get a jde error
[01:31] <Scunizi> christoz, without the /etc/yada/yada?
[01:32] <mrkeishii> but the problem is that I use the  sudo apt-get install awn
[01:32] <Pelo> mrkeishii, do a search on google there is a special repos for ubuntu for it
[01:32] <mrkeishii> but it says that there is no packages
[01:32] <christoz> Scunizi yes
[01:32] <mrkeishii> yeah

[01:32] <sexcopter> hi, i have found a bunch of files in ~/.local/share/Trash which look like files I deleted (or thought were deleted) a long while back. Can anyone explain what they're doing there, and if I can just delete them from here?
[01:33] <usser> Pelo, hehe
[01:33] <Scunizi> christoz, ok.. sorry I don't have an answer.. maybe over at #ubuntu-server
[01:33] <mrkeishii> can't Usser
[01:33] <nickrud> sexcopter you can rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[01:33] <mrkeishii> not working
[01:33] <Pelo> sexcopter, wine uses that folder to delete to ,  leave it there in hardy it,s gonna be the default trash can,  you can delete the content however
[01:33] <christoz> np... thanks Scunizi
[01:34] <Pelo> mrkeishii, google
[01:34] <mrkeishii> okay
[01:34] <usser> !not working
[01:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about not working - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:34] <dmsuperman> sexcopter, they're in your Trash
[01:34] <Draconicus> nickrud: Dare I compact and uncomment those mysterious eye-candy sources? I plan on fixing Beryl up soon.
[01:34] <Pelo> mrkeishii, google for avant window navigator ubuntu
[01:34] <dmsuperman> sexcopter, because you deleted them there :P
[01:34] <usser> mrkeishii, oh are u running gutsy?
[01:34] <dmsuperman> sexcopter, so you can just empty your trash, or delete them from there
[01:34] <sexcopter> Pelo: understood, thanks a lot
[01:34] <usser> mrkeishii, sorry its not in the repos in gutsy
[01:34] <nickrud> Draconicus beryl is dead, compiz-fusion is it's replacement, comes by default with gutsy
[01:34] <mrkeishii> yeah
[01:34] <mrkeishii> oh
[01:34] <mrkeishii> okay usser thanks though
[01:35] <Pelo> dmsuperman, the default trash in gusty and before is  ~/.Trash ,
[01:35] <usser> mrkeishii, u'll have to get from someplace else
[01:35] <sexcopter> dmsuperman: I don't think it's linked with my trash in the bottom right corner, but Pelo's response explains that
[01:35] <dmsuperman> sexcopter, Pelo, ah
[01:35] <Pelo> sexcopter, you use wine ?
[01:35] <Draconicus> nickrud: I know, but fusion is a lot heavier on the resources and my poor old computer can't handle some of its nifty features. Disabling them doesn't make them go away - it only stops their graphical stuff.
[01:35] <style23> Draconicus how to you active decryption
[01:35] <mic21__> hi, I use "Connect to server ..." to connect a SSH server and I can't acces a directory with "drwxrws---" permissions. The user is member of the group and with scp there are no problems.
[01:35] <bouma> in synaptic, what does the ubuntu icon mean, when next to a package ? does that mean its a recommended version ?
[01:35] <sexcopter> Pelo: yeah, and a lot of the files are from utorrent, which runs under wine, so it makes sense
[01:35] <nickrud> Draconicus beryl at your own risk then
[01:35] <sexcopter> Pelo: I deleted them :)
[01:36] <smokeytheman>  whenever i try to install, uninstall or do anything with synaptic i get a jde error

[01:36] <Draconicus> nickrud: Heh. I'm only having some trouble getting it to play nice with the latest emerald. Borders aren't showing up despite proper configuration...
[01:36] <Starnestommy> bouma: I think it means that it's in the main repository and is officially supported
[01:36] <PzyBorG> hmm, does anyone know how to change the # a module is used by?
[01:36] <Pelo> sexcopter, did you fix the "theme" in ut ?

[01:38] <mrkeishii> any answers in installing AWN for 7.10
[01:38] <sexcopter> Pelo: thanks, but I'm not that bothered. I don't have a lot of time right now.
[01:38] <Draconicus> nickrud: Bwuh? :P
[01:38] <Pelo> sexcopter, about the tray icon , hve you updated wine to the latest  0.9.58 ? the tray stuff works pretty well since about .0.9.50
[01:38] <Jangari> Is there a way I can configure the system to startup after a combination of keyboard events?
[01:38] <Starnestommy> Trick|Mobile: I normally use kvm, but virtualbox is easier to use and has more features
[01:38] <Jangari> I have a machine with no power switch
[01:38] <Pelo> sexcopter,  I can just send you my file, it matches human and basic clearlook
[01:38] <Draconicus> Jangari: Start up? Heh. Are you on a Mac?
[01:38] <mark[oz]> what is the lightest weight ubuntu version out?
[01:39] <Jangari> meh, whatever your non-proprietary term is
[01:39] <nickrud> Jangari that would have to be done in bios
[01:39] <talntid> xubuntu
[01:39] <style23> jrib i'm hearing audio but no picture
[01:39]  * PzyBorG would say virtualbox aswell.
[01:39] <Scunizi> mark[oz], xubuntui
[01:39] <usser> mrkeishii, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581620 take a look here
[01:39] <DG19075> Pelo:I'd love that file for Wine as well. Default looks so drab...
[01:39] <Jangari> okay, nickrud, so it is possible then
[01:39] <Scunizi> mark[oz], * xubuntu or server.. server has no gui
[01:39] <Trick|Mobile> ok thanks Starnestommy
[01:39] <bouma> Starnestommy: also, lets say i mark gfortran-4.2 for install and it wants several other packages too, if/when i remove gfortran how can i know which other packages to remove to get back to the previous state ?
[01:39] <Pelo> Jangari, some mobo can let you specify actions for suspend power keys on keyboard
[01:39] <Draconicus> Jangari: No, I mean, that's a very silly thing to expect Ubuntu to do, seeing as Ubuntu is not running until it's on.
[01:39] <smokeytheman> david@annabelle:~$ sudo  apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebini

[01:39] <mark[oz]> thanks
[01:39] <nickrud> Jangari if you have no power switch, I would hope your bios provides some way to turn it on :)
[01:39] <Scunizi> mark[oz], np.. got an older machine?
[01:39] <sexcopter> Pelo: errr, I have version 1.7.7...
[01:39] <Pelo> DG19075, hold on
[01:39] <usser> boubbin, sudo apt-get autoremove
[01:39] <xiko> guys. Ive got trouble configuring grub. Can anyone help me please?
[01:40] <Jangari> at the moment i'm hotwiring the power switch's motherboard adapter
[01:40] <usser> boubbin, gets rid of unneeded dependencies
[01:40] <Pelo> sexcopter, www.winhq.org get the repos and upgrade man
[01:40] <Jangari> but that isn't sustainable
[01:40] <bouma> usser: was that for me ?
[01:40] <Pelo> sexcopter, that's the utorrent version I qwas talkinga bout wine
[01:40] <millertime_018> soreau?
[01:40] <mark[oz]> Scunizi, nah at work I have to use windows.. so I want to vm ubuntu.. but ubuntu is slow as hell and I thought maybe there was a stripped down version of gnome I could use, e.g. ubuntu-lite
[01:40] <Draconicus> Jangari: ...Wha? Sustai... stop making up terminology and learn what you're talking about!
[01:40] <usser> bouma, whops yea
[01:40] <mark[oz]> but I'll give xfce another try
[01:40] <Jangari> it's a naked mobo going in an arcade game table
[01:40] <mrkeishii> thanks again usser
[01:41] <usser> mrkeishii, no problem
[01:41] <sexcopter> oh, I'm on 0.9.45, because of warcraft which is broken after .45
[01:41] <Pelo> DG19075, accept the file and put it in ~/.wine
[01:41] <Jangari> i ripped off the power switch from the motherboard without realising
[01:41] <bouma> usser: thanks, so autoremove, does that also need the package name
[01:41] <Draconicus> Jangari: This is not a hardware channel. We can't help you here.
[01:41] <Scunizi> mark[oz], we're you using the live cd?.. vm is much faster
[01:41] <usser> bouma, nope
[01:41] <Jangari> alright, no worries then'
[01:41] <DG19075> got it, thanks!
[01:41] <smokeytheman> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63123/
[01:41] <Draconicus> Jangari: Try #hardware :P
[01:41] <Pelo> sexcopter, it's likely fixed by now , upgrade in confidence
[01:41] <Pelo> DG19075, you'll need to restart wine
[01:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Jangari, are you making a mame machine?
[01:41] <DG19075> np
[01:41] <Jangari> yes Jack_Sparrow
[01:42] <Jangari> restoring an old donkey kong table
[01:42] <Draconicus> Jack_Sparrow: Holy crap. How did you guess that?
[01:42] <sexcopter> Pelo: I just tried .58, and hosting games doesn't work still (and same for other people too) :(
[01:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Jangari, gimme a minute. I can help
[01:42] <Pelo> sexcopter, ok then
[01:42] <smokeytheman> Jack_sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63123/
[01:42] <mark[oz]> Scunizi, I was vm... I've been using ubuntu for since badger... I get it all.. I was hoping someone would know of a gnome-lite version..
[01:42] <Jangari> but i'll have to splash out on a new mobo anyway, my old laptop one won't fit
[01:42] <style23> jrib at this site https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.htm #2 tells you to activate DVD decryption when I copy and paste that command in the terminal. I get command not found
[01:42] <Jangari> miniITX look like they'll do the job alright
[01:43] <Scunizi> mark[oz], you could try gebuntu.. it uses enlightenment
[01:43] <mark[oz]> thanks I'll check it out
[01:43] <Pelo> sexcopter, I would enquire about that network game thing in #winehq,  it seems a rather big thing to leave unfixed since 0.9.47
[01:43] <Kill_X> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216891 <-- could anyone test if this one is present in < 8.04 ?
[01:43] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: I beleive it has been renamed to openGEU
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> smokeytheman, are you running gutsy.. have you added any repos manually...
[01:43] <Kill_X> would be great :)
[01:44] <Jangari> when is heron out?
[01:44] <Pelo> Kill_X,  ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:44] <smokeytheman> im on 7.10
[01:44] <Pelo> Jangari, 24
[01:44] <Jangari> ten whole days?
[01:44] <smokeytheman> i have added repos manually
[01:44] <Scunizi> Odd-rationale, ah.. ok.. didn't know that.. mark[oz] did you catch that?
[01:44] <sexcopter> Pelo: I've read some comments online, it's subtle and I am sure they know about it and are working on it
[01:44] <Pelo> smokeytheman, you re in the correct palce
[01:44] <Kill_X> Pelo: I need to know if that "bug" is present in 7.10 or earlier
[01:44] <shulman> I'm having a problem with video freezing/dying when I play more then one video at a time. The video on the whole screen either freezes or turns bright green. I can only get rid of it by restarting Xorg. Can someone help diagnose the issue?
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Jangari,  /join #Jack_Sparrow so we do not disrupt the room
[01:44] <mark[oz]> yep thanks guys
[01:44] <usser> sexcopter, the bug's been there for 2 months almost
[01:45] <mrkeishii> I got IT
[01:45] <mrkeishii> Thanks
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> smokeytheman, you will need to pastebin the source.list manuallyh

[01:48] <samzilla> hey
[01:48] <samzilla> need a quick solution, i need to run a make command to compile a giant C++ project
[01:48] <samzilla> what C++ compiler can i install easily w/ like an apt-get
[01:48] <samzilla> i used cygwin on windows
[01:48] <samzilla> but now i just want to use linux
[01:49] <shulman> samzilla - try gcc++
[01:49] <samzilla> need a quick n esay one, im using server edition
[01:49] <samzilla> what is the command for gcc++
[01:49] <samzilla> download for it?
[01:49] <ravi> boooo!
[01:49] <ravi> yo, anyone here?
[01:50] <ravi> normally there's a lot more talk than this
[01:50] <icesword> haha
[01:50] <icesword> !gcc
[01:50] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[01:50] <samzilla> i just need a C++ compiler that has everying?
[01:50] <LeGreffi3R> samzilla> gcc is fine
[01:51] <LeGreffi3R> gcc++ doesn't exist
[01:51] <patrickva> I'm having a hard time gettin ubuntu installation to run
[01:51] <smokeytheman> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63124/
[01:51] <samzilla> ok ill try it i guess!
[01:51] <patrickva> i installed a new Nvidia card and i keep getting errors with ubuntu installation mode
[01:51] <patrickva> anyone familiar with this problem?
[01:51] <shulman> Sorry... gcc++ is a seperate package elsewhere. gcc works fine in ubuntu for c++
[01:52] <icesword> patrickva, /msg ubotu drxx
[01:52] <icesword> patrickva, /msg ubotu nvidia
[01:52] <patrickva> um okay..
[01:52] <ravi> ugh... gcc... don't you get that?
[01:52] <ravi> :P
[01:52] <LeGreffi3R> shulman> it doesn't there are no separate "gcc++"
[01:53] <imaginativeone> how do I make ubuntu available to windows?
[01:53] <LeGreffi3R> all for C, C++, (every C style), fortran, are in gcc
[01:53] <ravi> imaginativeone: do you mean your hard drive contents?
[01:53] <imaginativeone> yes
[01:53] <ravi> imaginativeone: go to places > computer
[01:53] <ravi> imaginativeone: do you see your drives there?
[01:53] <ravi> imaginativeone: just double click and it should auto mount
[01:53] <imaginativeone> yes
[01:53] <Pelo> imaginativeone, goto www.digg.com  and do a search for linux partion windows there are a few areticles about it
[01:54] <LeGreffi3R> imaginativeone> google for "ext3 windows driver"
[01:54] <imaginativeone> thanks!
[01:54] <Pelo> ravi, the other way around
[01:54] <ravi> ah, ok :P
[01:54] <ravi> my bad
[01:54] <Pelo> np
[01:54] <bouma> could someone tell me the package for the workspaces switcher. i want to just update this package to hopefully fix a drawing bug, where it looks like its only counting to n-1 instead of n, and drawing the mini workspaces in half of the allocated space
[01:54] <shulman> LeGreffi3R -- SOrry, I was mistaken. Looks like gcc can handle c++
[01:54] <bouma> the gnome workspaces switcher
[01:54] <imaginativeone> the permissions could not be changed
[01:55] <Pelo> bouma, its part of gnome pannel , I don'T think it there is an idividual packge for it
[01:55] <ravi> imaginativeone: they will be ignored
[01:55] <shulman> LeGreffi3R: g++ might be a good thing to try as well.
[01:55] <ravi> imaginativeone: in windows, if you're trying to access files from Ubuntu in Windows
[01:56] <ravi> as a general note, I must say that sharing an NTFS drive between Ubuntu and Windows is much better as ntfs-3g driver is in much better shape than the ext2fs driver for Windows
[01:57]  * Pelo wondesr why he can't /ignore floodbot
[01:57] <SoulBlade> my apologies.. i got disconnected before i could copy what the bot said... someone was kind enough to ask it how to add something simple to ubuntu's startup - i want to start synergyc before login
[01:57] <SoulBlade> can someone please issue the trigger again ?
[01:57] <LeGreffi3R> shulman> they will produce the same code.
[01:58] <LeGreffi3R> shulman> i even think gcc depends on g++
[01:58] <shulman> LeGreffi3R: OK.
[01:59] <Pelo> SoulBlade,  trigger for what ?%
[01:59] <dmsuperman> !startup ?
[01:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about startup ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:59] <dmsuperman> !startup
[01:59] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[01:59] <bouma> Pelo: how do i just do the gnome-panel, i tried, sudo apt-get upgrade gnome-panel, but it wants to upgrade about 200 packages
[01:59] <SoulBlade> !boot
[01:59] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[01:59] <SoulBlade> ah i think that's the one
[01:59] <SoulBlade> thanks
[01:59] <patrickva> Okay, I copied down the error information
[01:59] <dmsuperman> no problems :D
[01:59] <ravi> bouma: what the hell are you doing?
[01:59] <imaginativeone> do I need to log off?
[02:00] <Pelo> bouma, not sure ,
[02:00] <ravi> Pelo: nice way of putting it :)
[02:00] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, are you using samba to share now?
[02:00] <Pelo> bouma, check in synaptic, there might be a package for panel aps,
[02:00] <TwinX> bouma; apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel  might work
[02:00] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, was this to share between linux and windows on the same pc?
[02:01] <bouma> ravi: i want to just upgrade gnome panel, cause it has a drawing bug, im on a slow wimax and have limited quota so want to wait till i get the other packages from another fast conn in a few days time
[02:01] <imaginativeone> the former
[02:01] <imaginativeone> I want to save my iTunes downloads on my much larger linux pc
[02:01] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, did you specify on the linux computer that it should have write access?
[02:01] <ravi> bouma: ah, ok.. you can try the reinstall trick by TwinX but you can't really do much if the rest of the stuff is prerequisites
[02:02] <imaginativeone> tried, but rejected by ubuntu
[02:03] <dmsuperman> So the shared folder in Ubuntu does have the write permission checked then
[02:03]  * Pelo wonders why , since OSX is based on BSD, can't itune be simply ported to linux
[02:03] <ravi> Pelo: hahaha
[02:03]  * ravi laughs at the thought of Apple being open
[02:03] <dmsuperman> Pelo you're funny
[02:04] <Pelo> ravi, could just be a binary
[02:04] <imrook> Is anyone here familiar with MythTV on Ubuntu?
[02:04] <Cahan> Pelo, because of Cocoa
[02:04] <ravi> cocoaaaaaaaaa puffs
[02:04] <dmsuperman> Pelo, Apple only ported it to windows so they could get into the huge windows user base with the iPod and online music sales
[02:04] <dmsuperman> Pelo, They make good products, but they're just as silly as Microsoft
[02:05] <Cahan> and because Apple are strongly against any sort of open standards, they are worse than Microsoft in that regard
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Draconicus, Lucky guess....  bbl.. gotta start dinner.. I got him well on his way with that game box
[02:05] <Pelo> dmsuperman,  I don,t think they are good but they are pretty
[02:05] <dmsuperman> Has anybody ever used notepad++ in windows?
[02:05] <Cahan> yes dmsuperman
[02:05] <ravi> dmsuperman: yep
[02:05] <dmsuperman> Cahan, do you know a good linux alternative?
[02:05] <dmsuperman> I tried bluefish but it just doesn't have the same features as notepad++
[02:05] <reya276> dmsuperman: do you have any idea how I can uninstall a compiled driver
[02:05] <Cahan> dmsuperman, geany
[02:05] <Pelo> dmsuperman, you no like gedit ?
[02:05] <bruenig> dmsuperman: vim
[02:05] <dmsuperman> Pelo, lol
[02:06] <Cahan> dmsuperman, or kate
[02:06] <ravi> dmacnutt: if you don't want to move, you can go with notepad++ in Wine
[02:06] <goodspeed> leafpad?
[02:06] <bruenig> ubuntu is a good alternative to linux if that is what you meant by linux alternative
[02:06] <nickrud> emacs, best of all
[02:06] <dmsuperman> bruenig, I need a mouse for my editing
[02:06] <Pelo> dmsuperman, stop laughing at me and look in the menues
[02:06] <ravi> dmsuperman: sorry, look at above message for dmacnutt
[02:06] <nickrud> bruenig you are funny ;)
[02:06] <Pelo> bruenig, go back to #archlinux , we told you to stop trolling in here
[02:06] <dmsuperman> Pelo, does it have tabs, syntax highlighting, collapsible code blocks, regular expression find and replace?
[02:06] <bruenig> Pelo: you know I love ubuntu, come on
[02:07] <dmsuperman> Pelo, and as far as apple products, they aren't good for you or I but for the people they're designed for, they're fantastic
[02:07] <Pelo> dmsuperman,  yes on tabs, yes on syntax and replace, not sure about the other one
[02:07] <dmsuperman> Cahan, thanks for the suggestions I'll try those out
[02:07] <ravi> Pelo: I like my iPhone just fine
[02:07]  * nickrud is sad that many people now think of ubuntu as linux, even though he loves ubuntu
[02:07] <bruenig> genay has these first three, not sure about regex search and replace
[02:07] <icesword> hahaha
[02:07] <dmsuperman> Pelo, reg exp find / replace, and collapsible code blocks?
[02:07] <Pelo> bruenig, I saw you trolling on diggs in the ubuntu threads as well,
[02:07]  * bruenig is happy ubuntu is a vacuum for such people
[02:07] <Cahan> nickrud, I feel the same about mIRC and IRC
[02:07] <hyphen> anyone want to answer a dual boot question?
[02:07] <dmsuperman> Pelo, collapsible blocks aren't necessary but regexp is

[02:14] <bruenig> hyphen: what dmsuperman said, install grub, edit menu.lst
[02:14] <Pelo> who wanted help with GIT ? there is a #git channel
[02:14] <imrook> hyphen: If you're going to use NTLDR, you'll need GRUB installed on your /boot partition and configure Win to chainload to GRUB.
[02:14] <CorbinFox> is there a boot command that turns off one of my cores?
[02:14] <imaginativeone> can I change the owner of my entire ubuntu machine?

[02:14] <Pelo> Francesco, what ?
[02:14] <hyphen> I did read an article about that but it was so outdated
[02:14] <bruenig> Francesco: midnight commander
[02:14] <Orbixx|Mob> Trying to enable broadcom firmware. It says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. Advice?
[02:14] <imrook> nixnoob: You'll use git clone git://someurl somedir
[02:15] <dmsuperman> hyphen, just google "ubuntu livecd grub"
[02:15] <Pelo> CorbinFox, try researching that in the forum www.ubuntutorums.org
[02:15] <hyphen> ok i'll look into that, thank you guys
[02:15] <dmsuperman> i think the first result should set you straight for installing it, and pointing it to your ubuntu
[02:15] <nomical> ubuntuforums
[02:15] <hyphen> oh so I can do it from a live cd?
[02:15] <scottyL> Shpook: Javascript isn't a part of L(ynux)A(pache)M(ySQL)P(HP)
[02:15] <hyphen> way cool
[02:15] <bruenig> P doesn't necessary mean PHP
[02:15] <dmsuperman> hyphen, then just edit menu.lst and add a record for xp
[02:15] <Francesco> How about GUI file manager?
[02:15] <bruenig> gui?
[02:15] <CorbinFox> Pelo: fine, make me not be lazy :P
[02:15] <hyphen> ok sweet thank you
[02:15] <scottyL> bruenig: OK... P(ython) :)
[02:16] <reya276> ok that removed the wacom module
[02:16] <bruenig> Francesco: not with that kind of power
[02:16] <reya276> Pelo: ’╗┐ok that removed the wacom module
[02:16] <Pelo> Francesco, check in add/remove , you'll be surprised what is available
[02:16] <nixnoob> imrook, you are the man thanks
[02:16] <Pelo> reya276, ;-)
[02:16] <imrook> np
[02:16] <Orbixx|Mob> Trying to enable broadcom firmware. It says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. Advice?
[02:16] <bruenig> I think the assumption is if you are using gui, you are not interested in such confusing things as features
[02:16] <dmsuperman> scottyL, Javascript is in the Apache portion. It serves up HTML pages, which can include JavaScript and CSS
[02:16] <Shpook> scottyL: That I knew, but someone else suggested it to me. I figured that since the browser is what parses JS, then it should work locally.
[02:16] <Pelo> reya276, I think there is away to blacklist it so it doesn't get readded when you boot again ,  check in the manpage for modprobe
[02:16] <imrook> Has anyone used MythTV's nuvexport?
[02:17] <dmsuperman> scottyL, and of course PHP to help edit your HTML pages, but the common factor is Apache
[02:17] <Pelo> imrook, I think there is a mythtv channel
[02:17] <bruenig> are there any rules on ctcping in here? I am interested to see what irc clients people are using
[02:17] <scottyL> dmsuperman: Wlel, that's what I get for trying to address questions :)
[02:17] <Danish989> I have a big problem .. I just installed ubuntu and now when my computer starts it says Loading Grub Error 22
[02:17] <Danish989> and then it just stops there .. what do I do??
[02:17]  * CoasterMaster doesn't know the rules about ctcping, but he is using Xchat
[02:17] <imaginativeone> how do I get access to the permissions?
[02:17] <Pelo> bruenig, yes the rule is donT
[02:17] <bruenig> hmm
[02:18] <bruenig> !rules
[02:18] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[02:18] <Pelo> bruenig, LjL banned someone for it eariler
[02:18] <dmsuperman> scottyL, heh, just sticking my head into places it doesn't belong. I'm a web programmer, so I always feel the need to butt into web scripting convos haha
[02:18] <nomical> danish you may be running hardware not compatible with hubuntu
[02:18] <imrook> Pelo: Yes there is, but my problem seems to be specific to Ubuntu.  Some progs that are distributed with MythTV source appear to be missing from the mythtv-common Ubuntu package.  I'm wondering if there's another package I need to install to get them.  I think that puts my issue firmly in Ubuntu territory.
[02:18] <bruenig> hmm it does mention ctcps, odd
[02:18] <Danish989> I'm on from the ubuntu live cd right now
[02:18] <MrStitch> Here's a timeless question: I got some win games that I wanna play on my ubuntu box..... is that possible?
[02:18] <reya276> Pelo: Thanks, I will remove the wacom tools from synaptics and see if I can then re-install the repo ones
[02:18] <Pelo> imrook, there are mythtv repos for ubuntu I beleive,
[02:18] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, in the same Shared Folders panel, there's a checkbox for write access
[02:19] <bruenig> !wine | MrStitch
[02:19] <ubotu> MrStitch: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[02:19] <Pelo> !mythtv | reya276
[02:19] <ubotu> reya276: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[02:19] <CoasterMaster> MrStitch: It is indeed possible with wine
[02:19] <nomi1> mrstich there are dos emulators and windows emulators the windows emulator is called 'wine'
[02:19] <Danish989> I installed ubuntu on this computer and I was already running windows xp, I wanted a dual boot system, but now the first thing I get is "Loading GRUB Error 22" and nothing happens after that .. what is the matter?
[02:19] <dmsuperman> Danish989, It's pointing to the wrong partition
[02:19] <LjL> bruenig, a CTCP alerts you (with sounds, etc) on a few client, doing it to the channel is frowned upon, sorry
[02:19] <imrook> Pelo: Yeah, I've already been there with no luck.
[02:19] <MrStitch> application compatibility? such as....?
[02:19] <bruenig> oh are there beeps involved?
[02:19] <Danish989> dmsuperman, what do I do?
[02:19] <dmsuperman> Danish989, your menu.lst needs to point to your Ubuntu partition, and it's currently not
[02:19] <CoasterMaster> MrStitch, it lets you run Windows programs under Linux
[02:20] <Danish989> ok so what do I do?
[02:20] <Pelo> imrook, did you do a search in the repos using synaptic ?
[02:20] <Orbixx|Mob> Trying to enable broadcom firmware. It says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. Advice?
[02:20] <CoasterMaster> MrStitch, I have RollerCoaster Tycoon and SimCity 4 running in wine and it works pretty well
[02:20] <dmsuperman> Danish989, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[02:20] <nomi1> mrstich try it
[02:20] <bruenig> Orbixx|Mob: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, enable the sources
[02:20] <dmsuperman> Danish989, Follow those directions
[02:20] <nomi1> most things work fine
[02:20] <imrook> Pelo:I used apt
[02:20] <Orbixx|Mob> Not on a working internet connection.
[02:20] <MrStitch> Is it pretty stable, or is it kind of hit 'n miss on some games?
[02:20] <Orbixx|Mob> As wireless is down.
[02:20] <TheComrade> Does anyone know of a technique I could use where I could tag open windows with a shortcut so I could quickly switch between apps by going ctrl-alt-1, ctrl-alt-2, etc?
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb
[02:20] <ubotu> The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[02:20] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, games are almost always not going to work
[02:20] <CoasterMaster> MrStitch, depends on the game, but the Wine website has a list of programs that work and don't work
[02:20] <Pelo> imrook, do you have a gui , try with synaptic it wiill just make the search easier, you can install with apt after if you want
[02:21] <imrook> Pelo: trying right now
[02:21] <bruenig> TheComrade: not in gnome, the only wms that have that sort of feature that I know of are tiling window managers like dwm, awesome, xmonad, etc.
[02:21] <Danish989> dmsuperman, thanks!
[02:21] <MrStitch> Is it the direct X thing that's causing problems?
[02:21] <dmsuperman> Danish989, no problem :D
[02:21] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, amongst other thing
[02:21] <MrStitch> i see
[02:22] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, It's hard to get a windows program running in ubuntu to begin with, but as the programs get larger and larger and more and more complicated, the less likely they are to run in wine
[02:22] <Hysteria> heya dudes. burning iso to cd now oooooo excited haha
[02:22] <TheComrade> bruenig: Thanks.  I just find it really bizarre that this sort of thing doesn't exist.
[02:22] <MrStitch> And I suppose the game would have to be completely re-written in order for it to work
[02:22] <Pelo> MrStitch, the wine ppl need to retro engineer windows basicaly , it's takes a lot of efffort
[02:22] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, things as simple as notepad++ even have their quirks
[02:22] <bruenig> TheComrade: it is gnome, that is to be expected
[02:22] <dmsuperman> MrStitch, generally, yes
[02:22] <CoasterMaster> I got SimCity 4 working in wine and it runs pretty well aside from a few graphical glitches
[02:22] <dmsuperman> Pelo, do you know how I can change the colors of the syntax highlighting in gedit?
[02:22] <dmsuperman> Pelo, hot pink is not a very attractive color to look at :P
[02:23] <ravi> dmsuperman: check the menu
[02:23] <TheComrade> bruenig: I would settle if even the normal task switcher would not re-order the window order
[02:23] <CoasterMaster> dmsuperman, Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors
[02:23] <MrStitch> I see. So there just needs to be more support. How many Ubuntu users do you think are out there?
[02:23] <Pelo> dmsuperman, no sorry , but it does colour code for several languages
[02:23] <bruenig> TheComrade: use another window manager, problem solved
[02:23] <CoasterMaster> MrStitch, it's a tough thing to write.....and they've been writing it for almost 15 years
[02:23] <Pelo> dmsuperman, check in menu > display > coloration
[02:23] <dmsuperman> CoasterMaster, Is there a way to edit each color and font for every part of the syntax? or do i just get to use the color packs?
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> guys can we move the wine / discussion to the #Ubuntu-offtopic room
[02:24] <TheComrade> bruenig: That will be what I'll have to do, though in that case I'll probably go back to Gentoo, if I'm going to lose the easy eye candy anyway.
[02:24] <dmsuperman> Or even to #winehq
[02:24] <CoasterMaster> dmsuperman, there's a way to load custom schemes so I'd imagine there's a way to do it
[02:24] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow, no we cannot ,sorry you'll have to move the rest to #ubuntu-offtopic yourself
[02:24] <nomi1> i thought games used like DOS4GW
[02:24] <nomi1> booted off the disk
[02:25] <nomi1> nothing to do with windows
[02:25] <MrStitch> Jack: Actually, it pertained here.... for my purposes. I'm just now learning more about Ubuntu, and I'm literally on day 2 with the software.
[02:25] <bruenig> TheComrade: good diea
[02:25] <dmsuperman> CoasterMaster, Alright, I'll look where it keeps it's default themes for reference. Thanks :D
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo, behave.
[02:25] <dmsuperman> Pelo, lol
[02:25] <CoasterMaster> dmsuperman, you might want to check out https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+question/14370 as well
[02:25] <bruenig> TheComrade: if you like binary packages though, should give arch a shot
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> MrStitch, understood.  but you are not asking for help getting it to work or for help with a specific problem
[02:25] <dmsuperman> I want to know why it is that floodbot gets to constantly flood the channel without kicking itself
[02:25] <dmsuperman> exactly
[02:25]  * Pelo has downloaded and watch 4 crappy movies today he's not in a mood
[02:25] <dmsuperman> stop flooding floodbot!
[02:26] <bruenig> Pelo: theft?!?
[02:26] <Gatestone> How do I install vmware for Gutsy?
[02:26] <Pelo> bruenig, yes
[02:26] <dmsuperman> Pelo, Check out American Daze. It's on Netflix Instant View
[02:26]  * bruenig is disappointed in hair
[02:26] <Pelo> Gatestone,  check in add remove  there is vmware-server
[02:26] <hyphen> ok one more quick one. I have grub installed. And looking at the menu.lst there is no entry for windows and ubuntu is listed as hd0,0 so that means ubuntu is on my primary, correct? and I had it reversed
[02:26] <nomi1> gatestone theres probably a README on the disk
[02:26]  * dmsuperman thinks back to the private convo Pelo and I had yesterday
[02:26] <MrStitch> point taken, was asking for other information while I was re-creating the problems I'm having. Computer doesn't reboot in 2 seconds ya know. hahaha
[02:26]  * Pelo hangs his head in shame
[02:26]  * dmsuperman wonders what kind of role model says one thing and does another :P
[02:26]  * bruenig thinks back to the private convo dmsuperman and Pelo had yesterday
[02:26] <dmsuperman> bruenig, wtf you weren't even there
[02:26] <dmsuperman> :P
[02:26] <TheComrade> bruenig: I will check it out. Thanksya.
[02:27]  * bruenig realizes that he wasn't even there
[02:27]  * Pelo wonders why he ever gave up @ , it would come in realy usefull right abut now
[02:27]  * ravi realizes there are too many of these messages
[02:27] <bruenig> what is this role modelling thign? does ubuntu have some irc big brother program?
[02:27]  * dmsuperman wonders why everybody is wondering outloud
[02:27]  * MeatGrinder realizes he doesn't know what the h*ll they're talking about
[02:27] <icesword> hahah
[02:27]  * mosno speaks in the 3rd person for no good reason
[02:27]  * dmsuperman jumps up and down, just to keep the trend going
[02:27] <bruenig> Pelo: you should have passed it off to me for some good justice
[02:28] <hyphen> Am I correct in saying hd0,0 is the primary drive? <--- total noob
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> obviously someone spiked the punch at this party

[02:28]  * MeatGrinder is reminded he needs a beer...
[02:28] <MrStitch> arg... same problem as before. problem accessing ata1 (whatever that is), then a bunch of garbage, then it tells me unable to determine aperture size and failed File system check. I'm guessing the hardware is just too old to work on Ubuntu.... thoughts?
[02:28] <imaginativeone> how can I buy ubuntu support?
[02:28] <JDSBlueDevl> hi, can anyone tell me how stable the Hardy beta is?
[02:28] <nomi1> why would you want to imaginativeone
[02:28] <dmsuperman> imaginativeone, paypal money directly to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:28] <Gatestone> Can I install Centos.iso to the vmware player, or do I need the vmware-server to install things from install diks images?
[02:29] <JDSBlueDevl> as in, if I upgrade now, is it going to work fine?
[02:29] <danbhfive> JDSBlueDevl: it may, it may not
[02:29] <MeatGrinder> imaginativeone, buy support?
[02:29] <bruenig> !ot | JDSBlueDevl
[02:29] <ChaosParser> JDSBlueDevl: Nope.
[02:29] <ubotu> JDSBlueDevl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> MrStitch, HAve you tried some of the command line modifiers to get the live cd to boot
[02:29] <imaginativeone> so I can connect my file without so much hassle
[02:29] <Pelo> MrStitch, ata1 would be a hard drive , do you have an old one on that comp ?
[02:29] <icesword> dmsuperman, lol
[02:29] <nomi1> forums are better for questions you need to sit on
[02:29] <stercor> How do I start up a new window manager?  Like, put it into the startup procedure?
[02:29] <MeatGrinder> imaginativeone, it's free here!
[02:29] <bruenig> stercor: excellent freaking question
[02:29] <ChaosParser> !hardy
[02:29] <Pelo> imaginativeone, don'T upgrade , wait for it
[02:29] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[02:29] <bruenig> how does one do this I always wondered
[02:29] <dmsuperman> Pelo, he wasn't even planning on it. he wants to just use samba :P
[02:29] <danbhfive> JDSBlueDevl: calling hardy beta can be a bit deceptive, since serious problems CAN arise
[02:29] <imaginativeone> I'm just trying to see my ubuntu machine from windows
[02:30] <Pelo> stercor, it shoud have been added to gdm you can select it when you log in
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> stercor, install one and where you login you can select between them or set a default
[02:30] <bruenig> ubuntu doesn't do the .xinitrc fun, so how do you do this stuff
[02:30] <imaginativeone> it's not working - and now the icon has disappeared
[02:30] <MrStitch> Jack and Pelo: I don't know ANY commands. I'm a linux virgin. hahahah, and I don't have an ata hard drive installed. I have an on-board scsi system with two IBM scsi drives.
[02:30]  * ravi was floored by the IBM Power5 specs
[02:30] <bruenig> MrStitch: `dir` shows the context of the current directory
[02:30] <MeatGrinder> good luck with scsi, i still can't get ubuntu to recognize my adaptec card with cheetahs
[02:30] <junkie> Hey, does anyone else dual boot osx with ubuntu?
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> MrStitch, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"

[02:31] <ubotu> An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[02:31] <MrStitch> Actually, i HAD an ata in there when I was troubleshooting.... but disconnected it about an hour ago.
[02:31] <Pelo> MrStitch, I 'm not 100% sure but I think ata is what they call scsi now ,  it is having difficulties readign one of them
[02:31] <MeatGrinder> Pelo, ata is not scsi
[02:31] <Pelo> MrStitch, is that ata still listed in the bios ? that might be why you get the message it can't find it
[02:31] <stercor> Pelo, Jack_Sparrow: I compiled twm and xdm; much to my disappointment they didn't just magically appear on the bootup menu/screen. :-(
[02:31] <MrStitch> Pelo... that's beyond crazy.  I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens
[02:32] <Pelo> MrStitch, also check in fstab if it is liste dthere
[02:32] <Francesco> where does apt-get cache archives?
[02:32] <junkie> I resized one of my partitions and ever since then I haven't been able to boot into linux, it's like my macbook doesn't see it.
[02:32] <AmyRose> How do I get Rhythmbox to stop prompting me to install the codecs? I already installed them using that dialog
[02:32]  * bruenig thinks that ubuntu should move to a user-drive .xinitrc setup for window managers
[02:32] <bruenig> driven*
[02:32] <Pelo> stercor, then don't appear you have to check in the session menu on the loggin screen,   restart x and check
[02:32] <firstohit> I am upgrading from Gutsy to Heron right now, will I lose any of my programs that I installed?
[02:33] <AmyRose> In fact, I'm even listening to an MP3 file right now and it's still prompting me to install the codec
[02:33] <charles|64_> hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens
[02:33] <Pelo> bruenig, you should be in #ubuntu-devel
[02:33] <Orbixx|Mob> Screwed up the resolution. Can't see a thing. Suggestions?
[02:33] <bruenig> firstohit: discrete releases are notably sketchy, so just cross your fingers really
[02:33] <dmsuperman> firstohit, no
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> stercor, you did check under option where you login right
[02:33] <Pelo> firstohit, vmware no longer works for me but the rest is fine
[02:33] <danbhfive> firstohit: You shouldn't
[02:33] <dmsuperman> firstohit, but don't plan on them staying there :P
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Orbixx|Mob, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res.  Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults
[02:33] <dmsuperman> Orbixx|Mob, "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

[02:34] <firstohit> i.i I have VMwareWorksttion and Wine and Compiz and Crossover , will those change?
[02:34] <MrStitch> ok, first off. Lets get to a command prompt to do these things. First, I have the disc in the cd drive, then I power it up and it boots from the cd. The Ubuntu screen pops up and asks if I want to install, and some other things. Where should I go from here?
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> MrStitch, F6

[02:34] <firstohit> so will they be affected?
[02:34] <firstohit> What do you mean non repo ?

[02:34] <dmsuperman> firstohit, They shouldn't be affected, but as with all things beta it's possible
[02:35] <dmsuperman> Orbixx|Mob, Ctrl Alt F1
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Orbixx|Mob, recovery mode from grub menu
[02:35] <Orbixx|Mob> Thanks.
[02:35] <Pelo> Orbixx|Mob, on boot, right after the bios stuff hit the esc key,  that will  get you the grub menu, select the recovery mode,
[02:35] <charles|64_> hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens
[02:35] <bruenig> firstohit: it is certainly possible that you will have problems, the discrete release model has systemic problems with moving between releases due to the jump. You could have incompatible library versions, you could have other problems. There is no way to safeguard.
[02:35] <firstohit> Ok will this is April isn't time to upgrade. Will there be a smother upgrade soon, should I wait or do it now?
[02:35] <bruenig> has nothing to do with "beta" has to do with the clumsy model
[02:36] <Pelo> charles|64_, do you see it in places > computer ?
[02:36] <dmsuperman> firstohit, wait til it's actually released, and even then i like to wait at least a few weeks to see if their are any major problems
[02:36] <imaginativeone> please help
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> charles|64_, did you burn the iso as a single file or as a disk image
[02:36] <dmsuperman> firstohit, usually if there are major problems there will be a massive outrage, then it will be fixed, then it's good to upgrade safely
[02:36]  * Pelo thinks dmsuperman is trying to become the new Pelo
[02:36] <Pelo> imaginativeone, what with ?
[02:36] <dmsuperman> Pelo, why do you say that?
[02:37] <dmsuperman> Pelo, because I'm trying to help?
[02:37] <stercor> shutting down and restarting xdm didn't do anything new.
[02:37] <firstohit> Ok, how can I know when is time to upgrade?
[02:37] <bruenig> poor blippy solutions
[02:37] <dmsuperman> firstohit, read my message :P
[02:37] <Pelo> dmsuperman, help , waiting before upgradeing,  ets
[02:37] <stercor> firstohit: two weeks after the release date.  You can always tell the pioneers.  They're the ones with arrows in their backs.
[02:37] <dmsuperman> Pelo, heh, it's just common sense for the upgrading
[02:37] <Pelo> bruenig, be nice
[02:38] <dmsuperman> Pelo, it's why I still haven't upgraded my windows box to vista, nor will I with XP being continued until beyond release of Windows 7
[02:38] <bruenig> firstohit: look, the problem is with the model. Discrete releases will always be dangerous. Some will tell you not to take to hit and destruction and let others do it, but even then, the model is always sketchy. Whether you do it now or later, discrete release is discrete release, so I would just go for it especially if there is something in the new release that you can't access.
[02:38] <firstohit> I will wait, I am not in hurry everything is working now, How do I know about the release?
[02:38] <charles|64_> hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens
[02:38] <MrStitch> Ok, I pressed F6, and I still have all my options, but this little line of text popped up at the bottom right of the sreen. It says: Boot Options :casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash--
[02:38] <con-man> so its on discrete release right now?
[02:38] <dmsuperman> firstohit, I'm sure you could just watch ubuntu.com
[02:38] <Pelo> charles|64_, can you see a dvd drive listed in  Places > computer ?
[02:39] <imaginativeone> Pelo, I need help with seeing ubuntu from windows
[02:39] <Pelo> imaginativeone, hold on
[02:39] <philidox> hey
[02:39] <danbhfive> imaginativeone: is this samba?
[02:39] <dmsuperman> !samba | imaginativeone
[02:39] <bruenig> con-man: it has always been on discrete release.
[02:39] <ubotu> imaginativeone: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

[02:40] <rpj8> Hey, for whatever reason, a friend of mine wants to change the side the scroll bars around on (vertical scrollbars) in gtk. I guess because he's a lefty. Is there an easy line one can put into their .gtkrc.mine to switch them up?
[02:40] <imaginativeone> thanks
[02:40] <rpj8> are on*
[02:41] <firstohit> well, the reason I like to upgrade is because I want to install latest 169.12 nvidia driver from the 100 driver. I want to use envy to do it, but Envy says I shouls uninstall the driver before upgrading but Envy NG is for heron is does not require uninstalling,
[02:41] <dmsuperman[orang> firstohit, you could always copy your whole drive to a virtualbox drive, and upgrade in there
[02:41] <dmsuperman[orang> and see how it goes
[02:41] <Gzzrt> So are we allowed to ask support questions here?
[02:41] <mpalatnik> yes
[02:41] <bruenig> !envy | firstohit
[02:41] <usser> firstohit, envy is not a good idea
[02:41] <ubotu> firstohit: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See ┬½ /msg ubotu binarydriver ┬╗
[02:41] <dmsuperman[orang> !ask Gzzrt
[02:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask gzzrt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:41] <Danish989> dmsuperman, that didnt work, now I get this error : GRUB Loading stage1.5.
[02:41] <Danish989> GRUB loading, please wait...
[02:41] <Danish989> Error 22
[02:41] <bruenig> firstohit: more dangerous than jumping to the next release is using envy
[02:41] <Gzzrt> !ask ntfs partitions
[02:41]  * Pelo will break the fingers of then next person to trigger the bot
[02:42] <dmsuperman[orang> Danish989, that means your menu.lst is still not pointing to the right drive. do you by chance have SATA drives?
[02:42] <n8tuser> Danish989--> do you have stage1_5 files in /boot/grub?
[02:42] <MrStitch> ouch

[02:42] <charles|64_> hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens
[02:42] <Danish989> dmsuperman: yes I do have SATA drives
[02:42] <Pelo> charles|64_, do you pay attention ?
[02:42] <firstohit> how much am I missing I have the 100.14.19 and latest is 169.12?
[02:42] <dmsuperman[orang> Danish989, and do you have 2 of them?
[02:42] <dmsuperman[orang> Danish989, at least?
[02:42] <Danish989> yes, 2 of them
[02:43] <firstohit> my card is GeForce 6200 A-LE
[02:43] <charles|64_> Pelo: what did i miss?
[02:43] <Danish989> dmsuperman[orang: yes, I have two, how did you know that?
[02:43] <dmsuperman[orang> Danish989, heh, exact same problem as I do. according to BIOS, my system drive and storage drives are reversed, with System being second and Storage being first.
[02:43] <Nasra> jack_Sparrow: how do I use Ubuntu pastebin ...to paste some text in the channel of in another word ...that part where it says Syntax: what do I choose in there so I can paste in....
[02:43] <Tyr> Hi folks
[02:43] <linkinxp> i had to turn Gnome in safemode, cause when i go in normal mode my screen goes gray and i cant see the windows
[02:43] <Pelo> charles|64_, check in the places menu under  my computer, do you see a cd drive listed there
[02:43] <dmsuperman[orang> Danish989, In your menu.lst, change it from hd1,X to hd0,X
[02:43] <Danish989> dmsuperman, were you able to fix it?
[02:43] <dmsuperman[orang> for the entries
[02:43] <charles|64_> pelo no
[02:43] <IdleOne> Nasra: use text
[02:43] <Gzzrt> Does hardy heron still require you to mount partitions before you can read them?  I know that you need to, but if they show up in the file manager, shouldn't I be able to access them?
[02:44] <MrStitch> ok, I just went ahead typed 'dir' and it looks like it started initializing the installation. Will undoubtedly encounter the same problem.
[02:44] <Danish989> dmsuperman, can you give me the link to that thread again please? oh, and if possible, IM me private?
[02:44] <firstohit> How long before I can use the 169.12 driver safely?
[02:44] <Pelo> charles|64_, look in menu > system > prefs > hardware info ,  see if you can locate your cd/dvd drive in there
[02:44] <bruenig> firstohit: you can use it now if you want
[02:44] <Nasra> IdleOne: so use text ...okay ....then paste it...correct?
[02:44] <bruenig> firstohit: I am using the latest nvidia driver, no problems
[02:45] <charles|64_> pelo yes it in there
[02:45] <IdleOne> Nasra: yes paste whatever in the box then click paste at the bottom then give us the url?
[02:45] <Tyr> Can anyone help me with the graphic effects in ubuntu?
[02:45]  * Hysteria is to scared to put ubuntu iso into dvd drive and reboot computer
[02:45] <rpj8> !ask | Tyr
[02:45] <dmsuperman> firstohit, I'm using the 169.12 driver right now
[02:45] <ubotu> Tyr: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[02:45] <dmsuperman> Hysteria, DO IT
[02:45] <firstohit> so, should I go a head and install the latest nvidia driver on Gutsy for GeForce 6200 A-LE?
[02:45] <Hysteria> hahaha
[02:45] <IdleOne> Hysteria: why?
[02:45] <Pelo> charles|64_, ok so it is seen ,  check in menu > system > prefs > removable media, there are actons to be done when a cd is incerted
[02:45] <Danish989> dmsuperman? help? :(
[02:46] <rpj8> firstohit: If you want to yeah.
[02:46] <bruenig> firstohit: if you want to, what is this sillyness, this is linux, it is your computer, do what you want
[02:46] <dmsuperman> Danish989, see your tab, i'm talking to you in it :P
[02:46] <firstohit> Do I use the instruction from Nvidia website, bassically?
[02:46] <Hysteria> IdleOne: first time ever going to use linux
[02:46] <rpj8> bruenig: Howdy
[02:46] <bruenig> rpj8: hey
[02:46] <IdleOne> Hysteria: worst that will happen is the pc explodes :)
[02:46] <dmsuperman> Danish989, I've already PM'ed you, open that tab
[02:46] <Danish989> dmsuperman, lol, I'm not getting any messages there :/
[02:46] <dmsuperman> hrm
[02:46] <dmsuperman> then we'll just talk here
[02:46] <Nasra> IdleOne: use the URL.....what you url ..you talking about....I thought the whole idea was to paste it..in the channel...please elaborate thanks...
[02:46] <dmsuperman> alright, are you on a livecd?
[02:46] <IdleOne> Hysteria: best that can happen is your eyes will be open :)
[02:46] <Pelo> IdleOne, did you manage to get that nasa image thing working ?
[02:46] <Danish989> dmsuperman, im using pidgen right now, and somehow I can't see your pm's in that tab because I pm'ed you too and I dont think you got those either
[02:47] <firstohit> I am asking because the Nvidia driver is going to compile a kernel etc and I wasn't sure if my card GeForce 6200 A-LE will work ?
[02:47] <IdleOne> Pelo: yes
[02:47] <charles|64_> Pelo: for blank media nautilus --no-desktop burn:
[02:47] <Hysteria> IdleOne: hehe ok ill give it a shot
[02:47] <bruenig> Hysteria: I wouldn't do it if you don't need to. There is no reason to change just for change sakes.
[02:47] <dmsuperman> Danish989, are you on a LiveCD?
[02:47] <tarelerulz> I am trying to install the yahoo messager for Linux and it keeps saying I don't have libglib1.2 .  and I looked it up and synaptic says I do have it.  The dev verion debug .  So I am lost as to what I would do to get it ? so I will see those
[02:47] <Tyr> ok ok, The prob is rather simple i cant start the "window effects", altough i installed the restricted driver
[02:47] <Pelo> charles|64_, or start music and such ,
[02:47] <Hysteria> Bruenig: im bored and its the school holidays
[02:47] <Danish989> dmsuperman, yes I am
[02:47] <dmsuperman> tarelerulz, just install Pidgin, it's a much better client ;)
[02:47] <charles|64_> pelo yup
[02:47] <IdleOne> Nasra: the web address at the top after you click paste
[02:47] <dmsuperman> Danish989, open up your menu.lst in gedit, using the command "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[02:48] <danbhfive> Tyr: did you use the restricted drivers manager?
[02:48] <bruenig> Hysteria: ok, hopefully you don't mess up
[02:48] <tarelerulz> Do the version I am trying to install have voice chat ? or is no different then pidgin?
[02:48] <Pelo> charles|64_, try this ,   put a dvd in ,  open a terminal ,   sudo mkdir /media/cd1 && sudo mount /dev/cdrom0 /media/cd1
[02:48] <MrStitch> arg... yup, same problem as before
[02:48] <bruenig> hmm
[02:48] <firstohit> I am going to try to go ahead and download the latest nvidia driver from nvidia.com and install it, I will have to close x and go from there. Well Ilose my GNOME and compiz settings?
[02:48] <dmsuperman> firstohit, you can use the 169.12 driver, i'm using it. don't get it using the restricted driver manager though, it's not the latest and in fact causes problems (at least for my card)
[02:49] <dmsuperman> firstohit, no
[02:49] <charles|64_> Pelo: mount: special device /dev/cdrom0 does not exist
[02:49] <firstohit> ok how?
[02:49] <Nasra> IdleOne: never used it before.....let me try a text in here...
[02:49] <dmsuperman> firstohit, from the nvidia.com website, like you thought
[02:49] <Danish989> dmsuperman, I did, and that file is empty
[02:49] <bruenig> firstohit: if it fails, you won't even be able to start the graphics
[02:49] <dmsuperman> Danish989, that's odd.
[02:49] <bruenig> so be prepared for that
[02:49] <Pelo> charles  sudo /dev/scd0 /meida/cd1
[02:49] <MrStitch> buffer i/o errors, can't read from ata1, squashfs error, error loading shared libraries, failed file system check
[02:49] <Pelo> charles|64_,   sudo mount /dev/scd0 /meida/cd1
[02:49] <dmsuperman> Pelo, From the livecd, it's /boot/grub/menu.lst right?
[02:49] <BSG75> anyone know how add plugin to opera?
[02:49] <bruenig> opera has plugins?
[02:49] <Pelo> dmsuperman, what ?
[02:50] <BSG75> bruenig: it no play video :(
[02:50] <Tyr> Yes everything is activated, i installed even the Nvidia software via envy. Can the prob be that i have 2 cards with 2 displays?
[02:50] <bruenig> Tyr: the problem could be that you used envy
[02:50] <dmsuperman> Pelo, on a LiveCD, is the computer's menu.list at /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[02:50] <IdleOne> !envy | Tyr
[02:50] <ubotu> Tyr: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See ┬½ /msg ubotu binarydriver ┬╗
[02:50] <bruenig> Tyr: we do not support hackish third party python vomit
[02:50] <Pelo> dmsuperman, if from the live cd ,  you'll have to navigate to the /boot on the hdd , and not the one in the filesystem
[02:50] <firstohit> Is there instructions for installing the new 169.12 nvidia driver from NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1 in Gutsy?
[02:50] <dmsuperman> Pelo, oh yeah, duh
[02:50] <dmsuperman> Danish989, alright, open a terminal
