[07:24] <booger> i would like some assistance with installing plugins into gaim, can anyone help me?
[07:24] <peabody> highphilosopher: Thanks.  Is there a guide to installing with LVM somewhere on the web?
[07:25] <highphilosopher> peabody: it's in the ubuntu install, you cannot miss it, do the manual hard drive partitioning.
[07:26] <highphilosopher> peabody: please do not repeat :)
[07:26] <highphilosopher> jorge__: did you install build_essential ?
[07:26] <peabody> highphilosopher: Thanks...do not repeat?  I make faux pas?
[07:27] <terrapenn> bummer, that didn't work
[07:27] <rishi> nalioth its been a while
[07:27] <rsync> this is annoying. my xfs corrupted , i had x working. i have reinstalled. x doesn't work anymore. there were some incremental changes, accumulated over time, to working X. Fresh x from breezy doesn't work. well it does, but it does not autodetect modes properly just drops you into 640 x 480 x 24.
[07:27] <highphilosopher> peabody: my bad, I thought I saw you repeat the same thing. I went back tho, and you didn't. P.S. I am losing it :0
[07:27] <rsync> modifying xorg.conf changes nothing.
[07:27] <peabody> highphilosopher: Ah, no worries.  It's been a crazy day for myself.
[07:28] <highphilosopher> terrapenn: make a new user and see if it looks the same for them
[07:28] <rishi> rsync, what are you trying to do?
[07:28] <rsync> well it does. subsequent restarts yield only black screen for any type of x sesion
[07:28] <rsync> rishi: i just have reinstalled from scratch
[07:28] <nalioth> rishi: a while for what?
[07:28] <FusionXN1> I need some help - i cant change permissions of my 2nd HDD: chown: changing ownership of `/media/sdb1': Read-only file syste
[07:28] <iNToIT> hi
[07:28] <Evil_Ed`> hey
[07:28] <rishi> nalioth: a while since I've been here...you've helped me out a lot in the past
[07:28] <rsync> rishi: using 5.10 install cd
[07:28] <highphilosopher> rsync: did you change your horiz or vert refresh rates?
[07:28] <rsync> rishi: and with all updated done in
[07:29] <Renan_s2> !DMA
[07:29] <nalioth> rishi: well, great, i hope you are here to help others with your knowledge
[07:29] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing.  It makes hard disks run faster,  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
[07:29] <peabody> Is there a torrent for the latest install cd?  I seem to be having trouble finding it on google.
[07:29] <rishi> rsync, why?
[07:29] <rsync> highphilosopher: it is a laptop. last time it worked without any modification
[07:29] <rishi> nalioth: i am, whatever little knowledge i have, but i was hoping for some help too...i don't know how to install plugins for gaim
[07:29] <Madpilot> peabody, do you want the Dapper installer, or the new testing Edgy one?
[07:30] <nalioth> rishi: try #gaim
[07:30] <rishi> ok
[07:30] <highphilosopher> rsync: what did you change in xorg.conf?
[07:30] <terrapenn> brb
[07:30] <Evil_Ed`> you tell me
[07:30] <rishi> rsync: why are you using the breezy install?
[07:30] <peabody> Madpilot: Whatever's stable, sounds like I want the Dapper
[07:30] <highphilosopher> peabody: nodz
[07:31] <rsync> highphilosopher: i tried updating refresh to:
[07:31] <rsync>  HorizSync 30-68
[07:31] <rsync>  VertRefresh 50-75
[07:31] <FusionXN1> No one know how to change permissions?
[07:31] <rsync> rishi: dunno, i have that cd
[07:31] <Madpilot> peabody, go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download, pick a mirror close to you, grab the .torrent file
[07:31] <Rodya> thanks for all your help
[07:31] <Rodya> got ubuntu installed finally
[07:31] <jorge__> highphilosopher: ok, i'm installing build_essential now
[07:31] <crafteh> is there a way to change the default size of my terminal? i can't find that setting..... and it doesn't seem to remember my changes
[07:31] <highphilosopher> rsync: the horiz is alittle low. There should be a line there alittle above the refresh about fbdev. See if it's set to true or false
[07:32] <rishi> rsync: i'm not sure what problem you're having; but i would say get dapper man, its a ridiculous change...sooo much better
[07:33] <Kr0ntab> crafteh, you refering to yer actual console... or like yer gnome-terminal ?
[07:33] <peabody> 6.06 is dapper?
[07:33] <highphilosopher> rsync: You might run a dist-upgrade with apt-get. Then you could apt-get install xorg-reconfigure
[07:33] <highphilosopher> peabody: yes
[07:33] <peabody> highphilosopher: thanks
[07:33] <highphilosopher> peabody: :)
[07:33] <rsync> highphilosopher: i am running distupgrade already
[07:33] <highphilosopher> rsync: ok
[07:33] <crafteh> Kr0ntab: my gnome-terminal. i just found this page though: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4326&sid=5f8a31cabc1012eb558eeb5bac2dd628
[07:33] <Kr0ntab> k
[07:33] <highphilosopher> P.S. did anyone order CD's from ubuntu.com?
[07:34] <pppoe_dude> any way to make ssh -X faster? it is reaally slow across a network if i run say, firefox
[07:34] <pppoe_dude> *across the internet
[07:34] <terrapenn> highphilosopher: indeed, it was correct for the new user
[07:34] <dli> pppoe_dude, slow network?
[07:34] <rishi> highphilosopher, i did
[07:34] <pppoe_dude> dli, no... it just doesnt use the nwtwork... it just waits a long time
[07:34] <terrapenn> high: so I nuked ~/.config and sure enough
[07:34] <dli> pppoe_dude, try : ssh -C -X -Y
[07:35] <terrapenn> so now I gotta re-do my desktop config and figure out what went wrong :)
[07:35] <pppoe_dude> dli, will do thanks
[07:35] <dli> pppoe_dude, remove exporting xhost DISPLAY in ~/.bash*
[07:36] <crafteh> what log rotating script does ubuntu use? (i'd like to put it on my real server)
[07:37] <peabody> hmm, did I want the desktop cd or the alternate cd?  I'm just now reading about LVM support in the alternate cd.
[07:38] <Madpilot> peabody, desktop is the liveCD w/ install, alternate is the old-fashioned text installer
[07:38] <Flannel> peabody: they both install the desktop, the 'desktop' CD is a liveCD with a new graphical installer
[07:38] <Kr0ntab> anyone else annoyed when after installing/removing applications (via apt, or wutevas) the gnome application menu folders are kind of scroll activated, until you to expand / visit them at least once?  Hehe... kind of lame little annoyance.
[07:38] <peabody> Thanks, sounds like I want the alternate then.
[07:38] <Madpilot> peabody, if you're doing something exotic with LVM, then you probably do
[07:39] <peabody> Madpilot: Nothing too exotic, but just to be safe.
[07:39] <protocol1> I typed this in my console to update my firefox "sudo chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /opt/firefox
[07:39] <protocol1> " and yeah it updated ok but when I tried to change permissions back to "sudo chown -R root:root /opt/firefox
[07:39] <protocol1> " I get an error?
[07:40] <peabody> I sort of prefer text based installs anyway, the ones where you can have a shell.  Nice to have those things.
[07:40] <terrapenn> i wonder if adblockplus.org is legit
[07:40] <terrapenn> it didn't use to be distributed from there
[07:40] <FusionXN1> whats the command to delete a folder
[07:41] <weex> can i use kde apps ok on ubuntu?
[07:41] <terrapenn> of couse, weex
[07:41] <FusionXN1> weex yes i have been able to
[07:41] <Kr0ntab> FusionXN1, rmdir
[07:41] <FusionXN1> ty
[07:41] <Kr0ntab> if it has contents in it...
[07:41] <Kr0ntab> rm -r dir
[07:42] <protocol1> think I should leave my browser set with this setting? "sudo chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /opt/firefox
[07:42] <protocol1> because thats the only way it works
[07:42] <Madpilot> protocol1, if that's the only way it works, something is broken in your Ubuntu install...
[07:42] <protocol1> and the update feature is not greyed out
[07:42] <protocol1> well
[07:42] <kj> kli
[07:42] <protocol1> I installed the browser when I used breezy
[07:43] <protocol1> now im using dapper
[07:43] <protocol1> so thats probably an issue
[07:43] <weex> is there a good replacement for access that i can use in ubuntu? I tried openoffice database but wasn't too impressed and there seems to be quite a list of db apps to check out
[07:44] <FusionXN1> when using the command sudo chown how do you make it owned to all users?
[07:44] <kj> bisa bahasa indo nggak
[07:44] <kj> tolong samperin
[07:45] <weex> didn't think there could be more than one owner or a file
[07:45] <Madpilot> protocol1, did you upgrade Firefox manually?
[07:45] <nalioth> !tg
[07:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about tg - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[07:45] <Madpilot> !ph
[07:45] <ubotu> Join #ubuntu-ph for tagalog
[07:45] <FusionXN1> weex well i was doign sudo chown -R root and i change it to sudo chown -R fusionxn1 and it allows me to do anything in there now
[07:46] <FusionXN1> WOuld be nice for all users tho
[07:46] <terrapenn> the free mono font rules
[07:46] <terrapenn> esp. at bold
[07:46] <nalioth> FusionXN1: where did you run your command?
[07:46] <FusionXN1> terminal
[07:47] <FusionXN1> I'm missing the font for this website (http://box.net/) anyone know what it is
[07:47] <braddockbr> lil question... ive downloaded a 100mb software to my desktop throught synaptic... cool... now I want the same software in my laptop... both with dapper dake..... I really need to download it again in the lap? cant use the other os files?
[07:47] <DarkED> FusionXN1: looks like ... some kinda arial variant
[07:47] <FusionXN1> Anyway to get the font?
[07:47] <protocol1> Madpilot..yeah

[07:51] <BeepAU> my modem is a D-Link DSL-302G, but I can only go through the usb
[07:51] <protocol1> so I did the update manually
[07:52] <eyequeue> protocol1, security is not in your sources.list? :(
[07:52] <FusionXN1> How do you make archieve manager support.rar? i have p7zip installed

[07:52] <FusionXN1> ty
[07:52] <Hexidigital> rohan:: why not just install gnome, and use k3b and amarok through gnome?
[07:53] <FusionXN1> Dark can you help my other question
[07:53] <rohan> Hexidigital: that is exactly what i am doing
[07:53] <BeepAU> FusionXN1 - So, do you think you could help me?
[07:53] <rohan> i am on gnome, using k3b and amarok as the only kde apps
[07:53] <Hexidigital> rohan:: ah, and they have the default kde layout?
[07:53] <protocol1> eyequeue, how can I fix that...have a url to the repository?
[07:53] <rohan> Hexidigital: yes :)

[07:54] <BeepAU> Well, thanks anyway, FusionXN1.
[07:54] <FusionXN1> i have p7zip
[07:54] <braddockbr> FusionXN1: you need to download rar
[07:54] <Renan_s2> FusionXN1, apt-get install rar , I guess
[07:54] <braddockbr> and set the path
[07:54] <braddockbr> on archieve manager
[07:54] <Clausian> no matter what user i try, proftpd says that the password is invalid, any ideas?
[07:54] <FusionXN1> Beep which i could help - have you been to system -> administration -> netowrking

[07:57] <Madpilot> hey!
[07:57] <Amaranth> *giggle*
[07:58] <Amaranth> you don't have chanserv.py?
[07:58] <Amaranth> Madpilot: Kickban me. :)

[07:58] <DBO> all the kids hate me, I know
[07:58] <protocol1> eyequeue, I do have the latest version of firefox....im just wondering how to grey out the update link for the browser again?
[07:59] <eyequeue> protocol1, did you install it via the deb?  is the version this: Version: 1.5.dfsg+<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu6.06
[07:59] <protocol1> heres what I typed to update my web browser "sudo chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /opt/firefox"
[08:00] <eyequeue> protocol1, if not, i recommend installing the deb
[08:00] <protocol1> when I set the browser back to this "sudo chown -R root:root /opt/firefox"
[08:00] <protocol1> i get the error
[08:01] <protocol1> yeah well its not a big issue
[08:01] <protocol1> its working now so I wont bother it till I really have a problem
[08:02] <CmdrBatGuano> VLC refuses to play anything (regardless of format) and gives this as the excuse: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19074
[08:02] <CmdrBatGuano> this is for an flv
[08:02] <CmdrBatGuano> but the error is identical regardless of filetype
[08:02] <FusionXN1> Dark - thanks but i dont know how to install these fonts
[08:02] <FusionXN1> !fonts
[08:02] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[08:02] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[08:03] <hussam> what gstreamer or something plugins do I install to get rhythmbox working?
[08:06] <FusionXN1> Dark i done it :)
[08:06] <damnhil> hussam: There was a page on ubuntuguide
[08:06] <DarkED> FusionXN1: lol glad you got it workin :X
[08:06] <DarkED> :D
[08:06] <damnhil> hussam:  Search "Unofficial Ubuntu Starter Guide" and find the gsreamer info in the page
[08:07] <DarkED> yeah... i uh... i think im giving up ubuntu for a while
[08:07] <FusionXN1> dark - moved fonts to .fonts under my username
[08:07] <Madpilot> !mp3
[08:07] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:07] <DarkED> FusionXN1: was it arial?
[08:07] <Madpilot> damnhil & hussam - use the pages that ubotu just posted above, instead of ubuntuguide... the official docs really are better, in this case
[08:08] <spiderworm> hi all, what sort of kernel should i be running with a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ chip? k7? 686?
[08:08] <DarkED> spiderworm: if its amd, run k7
[08:08] <spiderworm> sorry about the (tm)... was copying and pasting there *grin*
[08:08] <FusionXN1> !mp3

[08:08] <DarkED> spiderworm: np :D
[08:09] <DarkED> but anyway, ubuntu dapper doesnt want to work with my ati card, no matter what i do. breezy was fine, and even with newest fglrx, nothing works. so im gonna take a break and try out fedora 5
[08:09] <terrapenn> surely there has to be a nicer AIM client than GAIM, right?
[08:09] <DarkED> terrapenn: kopete is good
[08:09] <spiderworm> terrapenn: i like kopete
[08:10] <Phenax> terrapenn: What's wrong with Gaim?
[08:10] <DarkED> Phenax: gaim is nice but kinda plain
[08:10] <Phenax> How so?
[08:10] <terrapenn> the interface is HUGE
[08:10] <spiderworm> also it uses gtk... yick
[08:10] <chip42> Phenax: its missing the built in advertising.. if using an IM isn't like watching a commercial, your client sucks
[08:10] <terrapenn> with AdiumX on my mac, I can make my buddy list very small, compact
[08:10] <Phenax> chip42: Hehehe
[08:10] <DarkED> Phenax: it just is. kopete is like the trillian pro of linux
[08:11] <Phenax> I hate Trillian
[08:11] <terrapenn> i'm running 1680x1024 on this laptop and GAIM takes up a huge part of it
[08:11] <DarkED> Phenax: thats why you like gaim :D
[08:11] <Phenax> terrapenn: Resize it?
[08:11] <FusionXN1> How do i rename a HDD?
[08:11] <Phenax> I'm running 1280x1024 and it takes like 1/1000000th of my screen.
[08:11] <terrapenn> maybe somebody has written a good curses-based AIM client :)
[08:11] <Phenax> naim
[08:11] <terrapenn> hell, ncurses+libgaim would make for a nice client
[08:11] <CmdrBatGuano> terrapenn: there's nothing on linux that will let you get rid of window borders
[08:11] <Phenax> naim uses ncurses
[08:11] <test> but kopete rules
[08:12] <CmdrBatGuano> and there is no true transparency unless you run xgl
[08:12] <DarkED> test: yep
[08:12] <FusionXN1> test ^^ hear hear
[08:12] <test> heres a question: Can xgl be run on a intel915?
[08:12] <Phenax> terrapenn: But why don't you resize the gaim window? Does your WM not support window resizing? rofl.
[08:13] <terrapenn> heh, naim is perfect
[08:13] <terrapenn> :)
[08:13] <azrael0> naim ftw
[08:13] <terrapenn> phenax, its still way, way too big
[08:13] <CmdrBatGuano> Phenax:Adium lets you get rid of windowdressings
[08:13] <azrael0> Plus, naim has screen resumable
[08:13] <terrapenn> i hate windowdressings
[08:13] <azrael0> Works very well to allow you to remain logged on for a long time, but not need to have your client up.
[08:15] <CmdrBatGuano> terrapenn:you could just leave the buddy list closed all the time and gaim will retract to a panel widget
[08:15] <CmdrBatGuano> then it takes up like 20x20px
[08:15] <terrapenn> i'd rather have a small buddy list
[08:15] <Cynical> I can't get above 1280x800 on my laptop
[08:15] <CmdrBatGuano> then I guess you're out of luck unless you want to write one
[08:16] <Cynical> even though native resolution is 1440x900
[08:16] <linux2> does ubuntu use kernel <IP_ADDRESS>?
[08:17] <FusionXN1> No one know how to rename a HDD
[08:17] <bimberi_> linux2: 2.6.15-26
[08:17] <Cynical> its up to like <IP_ADDRESS>

[08:20] <SeraVitae> what am I missing?

[08:26] <damnhil> Renan_s2: Why is it a little?
[08:26] <damnhil> Renan_s2: clock speed doesn't count?
[08:27] <Renan_s2> damnhil, not much, Duron is low-end
[08:27] <Renan_s2> Pentium is higher-end
[08:27] <FusionXN1> WHy wont amaroK play MP3?!?!
[08:27] <FusionXN1> i got xine engine enabled
[08:27] <terrapenn> your roommate is a nerd!
[08:27] <damnhil> Renan_s2: You are right. I bet the Duron is the same as Celeron
[08:27] <Renan_s2> :)
[08:27] <Flannel> FusionXN1: you need to download the KDE mp3 libs
[08:27] <terrapenn> yeah, and on the moon, nerds get their pants pulled down and spanked with moon rocks!

[08:28] <chris86wm> any other konquerer alternatives that i can try out?
[08:28] <Renan_s2> chris86wm, konqueror as a file manager?
[08:28] <chris86wm> yes
[08:29] <Renan_s2> try Thunar, or endeavour2
[08:29] <Phenax> chris86wm: links -g, firefox, epiphany, mozilla, seamonky
[08:29] <Renan_s2> endeavour2 is a lot like Windows Explorer
[08:29] <Phenax> Oh, as a filemanager ;p
[08:29] <Flannel> FusionXN1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-1340337f2ca1d0c54900935468515ba7630fcc59  The Kubuntu part
[08:29] <chris86wm> lol sry phenax i didnt explain
[08:29] <Phenax> fsv, rofl
[08:29] <Phenax> fsv is the expermental 3d filemanager they used in Jurassic Park, be cool like them.
[08:29] <notjosh> any idea why ntp is broken on dapper? :/
[08:30] <Lynoure> notjosh: Which kind of broken?
[08:30] <Phenax> I personally just use xterm plus a few basic utilities.. too lazy to get a file manager ;/
[08:30] <Renan_s2> I use Konqueror, myself.
[08:30] <Bergcube> notjosh~  I don't think it is.  Not in general I mean.
[08:30] <chris86wm> it just seems to run a bit slow in gnome
[08:30] <notjosh> Lynoure: well, there's no 'ntp*' in /etc/init.d/, which bugs me :/
[08:31] <rsync> wow its getting better, just did dist upgrade. got vfs panic.
[08:31] <chris86wm> thought i would try a few alternatives before making my final decision on one
[08:31] <Phenax> kyle@localhost ~ $ ls /etc/init.d/ntp*
[08:31] <Phenax> /etc/init.d/ntp-client  /etc/init.d/ntpd
[08:31] <notjosh> Bergcube: well, i don't think it really is broken.. maybe the install failed silenty? just funno how to diagnose
[08:32] <notjosh> Phenax: 'apt-get install ntp' didn't give me either of those :/
[08:32] <Phenax> It should come with baselayout
[08:32] <Phenax> baselayout is a bunch of scripts for sysvinit
[08:33] <Bergcube> notjosh~  I'll let you and Phenax meditate on that.  (My wife just appeared in another window.)  :-)
[08:33] <chris86wm> thunar
[08:33] <chris86wm> oh crap lol
[08:33] <notjosh> Phenax: if it's any consolation, i'm pretty damn noob with linux. :/
[08:33] <cratel> how can I get the screen resolution correct on a MacBook Pro under Dapper?
[08:34] <Phenax> sysvinit is the thing that starts all services and maintains them.. baselayout is a bunch of scripts and junk for sysvinit (Located in /etc/init.d/*)
[08:34] <cratel> !MacBook
[08:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about MacBook - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:34] <carthik> cratel, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:35] <Phenax> Meaning the best thing to do would probably to get the latest and greatest baselayout
[08:35] <notjosh> Phenax: oic, so does that mean something failed to create the scripts somewhere?
[08:35] <notjosh> ah
[08:36] <sponix> whats the command to give dpkg to list all installed pkgs ?
[08:37] <vook> man dpkg
[08:37] <bimberi_> sponix: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[08:38] <hussam> damnhil: no, a mp3 internet radio
[08:39] <sponix> anyone seen mplayer hang, it will FF throught the video just fine, but it pauses/freezes when its not in FF (normal play doesn't work)

[08:42] <ubotu> I know nothing about mathematica - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[08:44] <ubuntu_nub> question...
[08:44] <SeraVitae> Hey, im trying to install a VPN client, and i'm getting errors like: makefile:490: .config: No such file or directory.. Can anyone suggest what i might be missing?

[08:45] <DarkED> hey all
[08:45] <joachim-n> where's the system monitor gone?
[08:45] <DarkED> question, i want to move this ubuntu install to a smaller partition
[08:45] <DarkED> theres plenty of space free, can i just copy and paste it?
[08:45] <SeraVitae> Seveas - the vpn software itself is fine, something else in the system is missing.
[08:46] <bruenig> DarkED, why not resize your current partition and incorporate the free space in the other partition, assuming the partitions are next to each other
[08:46] <DarkED> bruenig: they arent :D
[08:46] <ubuntu_nub> can someone point me to a link that helps with doing installs of files?
[08:47] <ubuntu_nub> i want to install vlc media player

[08:47] <Madpilot> ubuntu_nub, what errors? It's in Universe, it should be easy to install
[08:48] <ubuntu_nub> could not find package vlc
[08:48] <ubuntu_nub> triedthis line under root
[08:48] <ubuntu_nub> apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2
[08:48] <DarkED> so i guess i can just copy and paste it, and change the menu.lst
[08:48] <crimsun> vlc is in universe.
[08:48] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell ubuntu_nub about universe
[08:48] <ubuntu_nub> ty

[08:53] <mungewell> Hi, in there any easy way to prevent GDM starting on boot (without uninstalling)?
[08:54] <bruenig> mungewell, you can go into System>Administration>Login Window for graphical gdm setup
[08:54] <kubuntu_nub> any ideas for help installing torrentflux?
[08:54] <Wapol> can anyone help me in a private window?
[08:55] <Wapol> i just downloaded linux yesterday and im totally lost on how to use it
[08:55] <Madpilot> Wapol, start by asking your questions here, while it's not busy
[08:55] <Wapol> ok
[08:55] <kubuntu_nub> 3am better not be busy :)
[08:55] <Wapol> when i install a programme
[08:55] <likwidtek> wow.  :)
[08:56] <Madpilot> kubuntu_nub, it's not 3am everywhere, this is a very international channel :)
[08:56] <Wapol> i cant find it anywhere
[08:56] <Wapol> like aircrack
[08:56] <likwidtek> many ubuntuers alive!
[08:56] <Wapol> after i installed i cant find where to start it
[08:56] <Wapol> can any1 help me?
[08:56] <Madpilot> Wapol, lots of programs are terminal-only, I don't know if aircrack is one of them
[08:57] <damnhil> Madpilot: how do I disable the PCMCIA services on boot?
[08:57] <Madpilot> damnhil, no idea. Sorry.
[08:57] <damnhil> Wapol: help with what?
[08:57] <kubuntu_nub> likwidtek:  can ya pm me? :)
[08:57] <Wapol> i dont know where the file to open it is
[08:57] <bruenig> Wapol, aircrack is terminal only maybe, I know it is some sort of wifi cracker, but that is about the extent of my knowledge
[08:58] <bruenig> Wapol, open a terminal Applications>Accessories>terminal and type aircrack --help
[08:58] <Wapol> i go to system>administration>sympathic package manager

[08:58] <kubuntu_nub> Torrentflux any ability to help install there?
[08:58] <kubuntu_nub> !info torrentflux
[08:58] <ubotu> Package torrentflux does not exist in dapper
[08:58] <damnhil> Wapol: what's wrong?
[08:58] <kubuntu_nub> :O
[08:58] <nevyn> Wapol: cat /usr/lib/menu/aircrack
[08:58] <kubuntu_nub> so i downloaded the wrong version? :\
[08:58] <Wapol> after i install it i dont know where the file is
[08:58] <mungewell> bruenig - can't see how to stop it starting there.... Normally I would select a lesser runlevel but I seem to be at 2, and 1 is single user. Any other suggestions to prevent GDM starting?
[08:59] <Wapol> is this where i will find it?
[08:59] <Wapol> here /usr/lib/menu/aircrack
[08:59] <Madpilot> Wapol, try typing 'aircrack' in a terminal - with no quotes
[08:59] <Wapol> terminal??
[08:59] <damnhil> Wapol: what did you install?
[08:59] <Wapol> aircrack
[09:00] <Madpilot> Wapol, Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[09:00] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Wapol about cli
[09:00] <dooglus> in gnome-volume-control, on the 'options' tab, I can switch between 'mic1' and 'mic2'.  only 'mic2' works, but every few minutes the select switches back to 'mic1' on its own.  is there some way I can get it to stay on 'mic2'?
[09:00] <damnhil> Wapol: can you run aircrack?
[09:00] <kubuntu_nub> someone point me to a userfriendly rls that would allow me to install torrentflux pls? :)
[09:00] <likwidtek> does anyone have experience with getting the powerbook buttons for volume and screen brightness to work?
[09:00] <Wapol> then
[09:01] <Wapol> then type aircrack?
[09:01] <damnhil> Wapol: use command whereis aircrack
[09:01] <dooglus> !info torrentflux
[09:01] <ubotu> Package torrentflux does not exist in dapper
[09:01] <bruenig> mungewell, the script that starts gdm is located at /etc/init.d/gdm, you could conceivable delete that script or just move it so that it isn't included in the startup
[09:01] <dooglus> !info torrentflux edgy

[09:01] <Madpilot> Wapol, open the terminal, then type aircrack, yes
[09:01] <neuro-> Does anyone have any experience getting a Linksys WMP54G PC Wireless NIC (using the BCM4306 rev.03 chipset) working?
[09:01] <dooglus> kubuntu_nub: edgy has it if you don't mind things being a little rough
[09:01] <Wapol> so type whereis aircrack right?
[09:01] <neuro-> PCI*
[09:01] <Wapol> ok
[09:01] <Madpilot> Wapol, try just typing 'aircrack' first
[09:01] <kubuntu_nub> no ubuntu can run torrentflux? :(
[09:01] <Wapol> i saw a directory
[09:02] <dooglus> kubuntu_nub: edgy has it
[09:02] <liquidten2> Wapol: just type in aircrack to run it.  Typing in "whereis aircrack" would tell you where it is physically located.
[09:02] <bruenig> kubuntu_nub, are you sure you want torrentflux, do you have a webserver that you intend to run it on?
[09:02] <kubuntu_nub> i do :)
[09:02] <dooglus> kubuntu_nub: debian testing and debian unstable also have it
[09:02] <Wapol> usr-sbin-aircrack-usr-share-man-man1-aircrack.1.gz
[09:02] <likwidtek> brb
[09:02] <Wapol> dats what it show me
[09:02] <byen> Guys my usb stick only gets mounted when i use  sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd ... what can i do to make it automount
[09:02] <Wapol> or just type aircrack?
[09:03] <Wapol> im confused
[09:03] <bruenig> Wapol, type aircrack, see what hapens
[09:03] <Madpilot> Wapol, just typing 'aircrack' should run the program; the whereis command shows where it is, which doesn't usually matter
[09:03] <liquidten2> Wapol:  If it is installed and in your path, just type in the name of the program to get it to run.
[09:03] <Wapol> ok
[09:03] <Wapol> ill try
[09:03] <Wapol> wait
[09:03] <kubuntu_nub> bruenig:  mind helping me in a pm?
[09:03] <Madpilot> !enter
[09:03] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[09:04] <Wapol> ok
[09:04] <neuro-> Does anyone have any experience getting a Linksys WMP54G PCI Wireless NIC (using the BCM4306 rev.03 chipset) working?
[09:04] <Wapol> i see a bunch of words
[09:04] <kubuntu_nub> someone help me install mysql on here?
[09:04] <bruenig> kubuntu_nub, I might be able to help with the install, but setting up a bittorrent client that runs on a webserver is certainly not something I could help you with
[09:04] <Madpilot> kubuntu_nub, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[09:04] <kubuntu_nub> how far could you help me?
[09:05] <Wapol> erm
[09:05] <mungewell> Wapol - if the program is /usr/sbin/aircrack, I think you need to 'root' inorder to run it (the 'sbin' indicates that).
[09:05] <Wapol> ??
[09:05] <Wapol> i just downloaded linux yesterday
[09:05] <mungewell> Wapol - try  typing 'sudo aircrack' which will ask you for your password
[09:05] <Leeif> hi. anyone knows how to get transparency in urxvt?
[09:05] <Wapol> sorry im a noob
[09:05] <bruenig> kubuntu_nub, it has an install text that comes with it, did you read that
[09:05] <Madpilot> Wapol, you're getting into fairly complex stuff right away. Why do you need to run aircrack?
[09:05] <Wapol> what do you mean by root
[09:06] <liquidten2> Wapol:  What does, "sudo whereis aircrack" say.
[09:06] <byen> can anyone help me mount a usb drive automatically . I can mount it by using sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd  atm
[09:06] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Minus the quotes, just type out what is inside it.
[09:06] <mungewell> Wapol - that's OK. Linux is very hot of permissions. 'Root' is like windows Administrator
[09:06] <Wapol> my password for my router is lost and i cant reset it.]
[09:06] <Madpilot> Wapol, the router probably has a reset button on it somewhere... check the manual
[09:06] <neuro-> just reset it physically. yeah
[09:06] <sarra_> Wapol: someone hacked my router and updated the firmware to a version that doesn't actually exist
[09:07] <zack_> i updated breezy and now when i log out there is no option to save my current setup how do i save it?
[09:07] <Wapol> it asked for my password if i typed sudo whereis aircrack
[09:07] <Wapol> and i cant type the passwrod
[09:07] <liquidten2> Wapol:  type int he password that you created during the ubuntu install.
[09:07] <kubuntu_nub> it types it u just dont see it move
[09:07] <Wapol> i cant reset it
[09:07] <zack_> i updated breezy and now when i log out there is no option to save my current setup how do i save it?
[09:07] <Wapol> i tried to type but nothing comes out
[09:08] <liquidten2> Wapol:  You don't see ANY output, but it does type in.  Just type your password and hit enter.
[09:08] <neuro-> that's meant to happy
[09:08] <neuro-> happen*
[09:08] <likwidtek> Anyone know if it is possible to get the Mac buttons for volume and brightness to work in Ubuntu ?
[09:08] <Madpilot> Wapol, in terminal, the password isn't echoed,but it should be working
[09:08] <Wapol> how about can any1 teach me the basics on how to install a programme
[09:08] <Wapol> first
[09:08] <bruenig> mungewell, did moving that script work?
[09:08] <damnhil> Wapol: Routers usually have a reset button. Refer to the router's manual to reset the router to manufacture defaults
[09:08] <liquidten2> Wapol:  "sudo synaptic"
[09:08] <Wapol> im very very confused :(
[09:08] <Madpilot> Wapol, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[09:08] <zack_> i updated breezy and now when i log out there is no option to save my current setup how do i save it?
[09:09] <damnhil> Wapol: use synaptic package manager; google search ubuntuguide and start from there
[09:09] <Wapol> im in
[09:09] <mungewell> bruenig - it would for certain, but isn't a  nice way to do it. I'll keep looking for the proper solution ;-)
[09:09] <damnhil> Wapol: what is confusing you?
[09:09] <Wapol> the smpatic pakage manager
[09:09] <kubuntu_nub> install apache and installing php5 do i need php4 as well?
[09:09] <Wapol> i dont know how to install prorammes
[09:09] <Madpilot> Wapol, there are several pages linked to from that SynapticHowto page, check them out too
[09:09] <Leeif> is there i way to update urxvt to the latest version? i have the one in the repository, v7.0, but the current version is 7.8 ..........
[09:09] <Wapol> from the synitic pakage man
[09:10] <zack_> i updated breezy and now when i log out there is no option to save my current setup how do i save it?
[09:10] <Madpilot> Wapol, Synaptic is how you install stuff, read that tutorial...
[09:10] <mungewell> clear
[09:10] <Wapol> ok
[09:10] <kane77> anyone tried running photoshop with wine??
[09:10] <damnhil> Wapol: are you a German?
[09:10] <Wapol> where is the tutorial??
[09:10] <Leeif> help me! :p
[09:10] <Wapol> nope
[09:10] <liquidten2> Wapol:  when you type in "sudo" anything, you are running the command as root, which is equivalent to the windows Administrator.  It will ask you for a password, just type in the password that you created, and then hit enter when you finished.  Nothing will be echoed back, but once you hit enter it will work properly, if you typed the password in.   Typign in "sudo synaptic", and then entering your password will open up Synaptic which is
[09:10] <Wapol> singaporian
[09:10] <Madpilot> Wapol, I just gave you a webpage link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[09:10] <damnhil> Wapol:  citizen ?
[09:10] <zack_> ok i updated to dapper apparently how do i save my current setup when i log off?

[09:12] <Madpilot> kubuntu_nub, that depends on what you're running, some PHP stuff will need specific versions of PHP
[09:13] <liquidten2> kubuntu_nub:  You will need php4 for php4 and php5 for things that require php5.

[09:14] <aninhumer> Can anyone help me? I only get sound on the left channel, and sometimes I get high pitched whining on the right.
[09:14] <liquidten2> Leeif:  You are going to need to compile from source probably.
[09:15] <liquidscythe> hey
[09:15] <liquidten2> Leeif:  Do a "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[09:15] <byen> Guys I can only connect to my usb stick using sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd .. how can i automount it? any suggestions?

[09:15] <Madpilot> liquidscythe, you need to enable Multiverse repo to get rar
[09:15] <liquidscythe> i need it fast

[09:16] <Wapol> accidentally
[09:16] <liquidscythe> lol you seem very banhappy
[09:16] <Wapol> sorry

[09:17] <Madpilot> liquidscythe, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[09:17] <liquidten2> liquidscythe:  Enable the optional repositories and then retype the command.
[09:18] <Wapol> i know how to install programmes from the  Synaptic package manager but i dont know where to find it after i install the programme
[09:18] <Wapol> can any1 tell me how to find it?
[09:18] <Madpilot> Wapol, that depends on the program.
[09:18] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Just type in the name of the program.  Also, don't forget about tab completion.
[09:18] <bruenig> Wapol, It depends on the program whether or not you will see it. If it is a command line only program you wont see it. If it is graphical, it should show up in the applications menu
[09:19] <liquidten2> Wapol:  If i downloaded xmms, then I would simply type in "xmms" and it would run.
[09:19] <Wapol> so i just type the name of the programme in the command line?
[09:19] <kane77> Wapol, well most of the time you can find it in applications menu... in the corresponding category
[09:19] <bruenig> Wapol, that works
[09:19] <Madpilot> Wapol, try using Add/Remove Applications instead, everything it installs is available thru the menus - Synaptic can install more stuff, though
[09:19] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Yes.  you can also make shortcuts to them on the desktop, or find them in the menu.
[09:19] <Wapol> oh
[09:19] <Leeif> liquidten2: dude the 7.8 version is way more stable! why dont they update the repo?
[09:19] <Wapol> but where is the file in the folder
[09:19] <liquidten2> Wapol:  But not ALL packages install to the menu.
[09:19] <Wapol> the file itself other than typing in the command
[09:19] <Wapol> ok
[09:20] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Type in "whereis commandname"
[09:20] <kubuntu_nub> how do i install mysql db?
[09:20] <bruenig> wapol, more than likely, the files, the executable if you will is in /usr/bin somewhere
[09:20] <Wapol> what would be the commandname?
[09:20] <liquidten2> Leeif:  I don't know why, i'm not in charge of the repos ;)
[09:20] <liquidten2> Wapol:  commandname=name of the program
[09:20] <liquidten2> for example
[09:20] <Wapol> ok
[09:20] <Wapol> ill give it a try

[09:22] <liquidten2> Wapol:  That is the output you get when you are looking for where a program is stored.  But in reality, you don't need to know so much, because you can simply remove the program from synaptic when you need to, and all you need to know is the name of the program to run it.  it's not like windows.
[09:22] <rixth> Where is it looking for that file?
[09:22] <bruenig> SeraVitae, have you tried babelfishing it?
[09:22] <Wapol> erm
[09:22] <byen> I do sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd and my usd drive mounts.. how can i mount it automatically? can someone please help
[09:22] <liquidten2> rixth:  It's looking for it in all of the folder slisted in /etc/ld.so.conf
[09:22] <rixth> Ok.
[09:22] <Wapol> i tried typing whereis aircrack but it tells me a directory which is invalid
[09:22] <kubuntu_nub> how do i install mysql db?
[09:23] <liquidten2> rixth:  You probably need to install a program called "avformat"
[09:23] <bruenig> !mysql
[09:23] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[09:23] <rixth> liquidten2, the program just stopped working It was before.
[09:23] <Wapol> erm i tried typing whereis aircrack but it tells me a directory which is invalid
[09:23] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Is aircrack installed?  If simply typing in "aricrack" doesn't work, then it is not installed properly.
[09:23] <Leeif> liquidten2: configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
[09:23] <Wapol> it is installed

[09:24] <Madpilot> Wapol, just typing 'sudo aircrack' doesn't start it?
[09:24] <warlock> can I see where what dir the user is in through the "who" command
[09:24] <warlock> ?
[09:24] <SeraVitae> bruenig - yes. it's a bad translation
[09:24] <liquidten2> rixth:  Do you have GCC installed?  Do a "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[09:24] <SeraVitae> it says .config: not found, and i assume i'm missing some sort of config thing.
[09:24] <SeraVitae> in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15
[09:24] <bruenig> SeraVitae, maybe try going to #ubuntu-de and seeing if any of them speak english, as that is probably more likely than one of us speaking german
[09:25] <SeraVitae> uh
[09:25] <SeraVitae> yeah.
[09:25] <Leeif> liquidten2: w8, i thnk i got it
[09:25] <Wapol> erm i typed aircrack in the terminal and it only gives my a buch of words. not the programme
[09:25] <warlock> can I see where what dir the user is in through the "who" command ?
[09:25] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Those bunch of words, unless they are "command not found", might infact be the program.
[09:25] <Phenax> Wapol: Not all programs are designed using a graphical toolkit ;)..
[09:26] <bruenig> Wapol, aircrack is not something that pops up in a window and you click buttons and such, It is a command line program where you type command and options to do things
[09:26] <Madpilot> Wapol, what did the 'bunch of words' say?
[09:26] <sarra_> How can I make a FAT32 drive read/write enabled for all users?

[09:28] <Madpilot> Wapol, I don't do wireless stuff myself, but I get the impression that aircrack is a fairly complex app.
[09:28] <Wapol> :(......
[09:28] <Leeif> liquidten2: perl5 ?
[09:28] <Madpilot> Wapol, seriously, most routers have reset buttons hidden somewhere, look for that to reset your password to the factory default...
[09:28] <liquidten2> Leeif:  go for it.  Make sure you get the corresponding -dev if it exists.
[09:29] <likwidtek> If my software update icon next to the date is greyed out and says a package manager is working but nothing is open, is somethign wrong?
[09:29] <Wapol> i am not suppose to reset the pass
[09:29] <bruenig> sarra_, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/28134-quick-help-mounting-fat32-partition.html
[09:30] <liquidten2> Leeif:  Just to make sure, you're compiling from source right?  If so, make sure you are running "./configure" "make" "sudo make install" in that order when you get past ./configure.
[09:30] <Madpilot> Wapol, then you're far better off talking to someone who *does* know the password - or who has permission to reset it - rather than trying aircrack...
[09:31] <Leeif> liquidten2: ok
[09:31] <Wapol> ok...
[09:31] <Wapol> other than aircrack
[09:31] <Wapol> can someone teach me to use wine?
[09:31] <Wapol> when i type wine
[09:31] <Wapol> in the terminal
[09:32] <Wapol> i dont understand how to use it
[09:32] <sarra_> bruenig: I think that'll work, thanks, let me see if that lets me actually write to disc
[09:32] <aninhumer> Can anyone help me? I only get sound on the left channel, and sometimes I get high pitched whining on the right.
[09:32] <Wapol> lets say i have a .exe file
[09:32] <Wapol> how do i use wine to open it???
[09:32] <liquidten2> aninhumer:  What is your soundcard?
[09:32] <bruenig> Wapol, do wine then enter the path to the .exe file
[09:32] <liquidten2> Wapol:  type in "wine Filename.exe"
[09:33] <KeithWeisshar> i'm having a problem with the burned ubuntu dvd
[09:33] <liquidten2> Wapol:  Make sure that you type in the full path to the .exe, like "wine /home/username/Program.exe"
[09:33] <bruenig> for instance if the .exe file is on the desktop, you would do wine /home/username/Desktop/whatever.exe, filling in username with yours and whatever with the real name
[09:33] <KeithWeisshar> it's detecting as a blank dvd after burning
[09:33] <Wapol> ok
[09:33] <Wapol> oo
[09:33] <aninhumer> liquidten2, it uses the "hda via vt82xx" driver, and
[09:33] <KeithWeisshar> o
[09:33] <Wapol> but how do i install windows programmes on linux??
[09:33] <KeithWeisshar> i'm having an issue with the dvd that i just burned
[09:33] <liquidten2> Wapol:  You can use wine >_>
[09:33] <DarkED> hey all
[09:34] <KeithWeisshar> it's detected as blank even though it looks burned
[09:34] <DarkED> have a question
[09:34] <zerokarmaleft> Wapol: use wine to run Setup.exe or whatever
[09:34] <aninhumer> liquidten2, the lspci line is "0000:04:01.0 0403: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA High Definition Audio Controller"
[09:34] <Wapol> how?
[09:34] <Wapol> ok
[09:34] <Wapol> it will still install as usual on a windows pc right?
[09:34] <DarkED> how do i move this ubuntu install from one partition to another?
[09:34] <zerokarmaleft> Wapol: you'll also want to examine the directory structure of /home/username/.wine
[09:34] <DarkED> i dont want to lose this install, i have too much into it
[09:34] <Wapol> ok
[09:34] <Wapol> ill try opening a .exe file
[09:35] <liquidten2> aninhumer:  I don't know how to break it to you, but from the looks of it, that soundcard(it's onboard motherboard builtin sound) is not well supported at the moment.   The best solution at the moment would be to upgrade Alsa(which mprobably won't help) or to purchase a Soundblaster Live!
[09:35] <zerokarmaleft> a pseudo drive c: directory gets created and you'll see the familiar windows subdirectories from that point, e.g. Program Files/ Windows/, etc.
[09:35] <bruenig> DarkED, I would backup the stuff that I want to keep, it could be almost everything. Install a fresh version on the other partition and then just add the other stuff. Afterwards. Backup the /home dir. the /usr directory whatever you want and then just put that into a fresh install
[09:36] <KeithWeisshar> my ubuntu dvd isn't working
[09:36] <DarkED> bruenig: i need my installed packages to stay the same :D
[09:36] <aninhumer> liquidten2, I guess it's my fault for buying from a cheap dealer, thanks
[09:36] <BanBot> Hello there, BanBot
[09:36] <DarkED> i meant by that, i have lots of download and updating time into this install :D about 6 gig worth
[09:36] <BanBot> Hello there!
[09:36] <bruenig> DarkED, you could do that in theory. Just keep everything from the directories you have installed it from. Like /usr
[09:36] <BanBot> Hello there!
[09:36] <BanBot> Hello there, fata1ity
[09:36] <DarkED> bruenig: i see
[09:36] <fata1ity> hi banbot!
[09:36] <BanBot> BanBot can!
[09:37] <fata1ity> no you can't!
[09:37] <BanBot> I believe the answer is yes, fata1ity
[09:37] <KeithWeisshar> my ubuntu dvd is showing up as blank
[09:37] <bruenig> or unless you intend to delete the old partition immediately. You could install the fresh install. Then mount the other partition and copy over everything. Obviously have to keep some stuff because of certain changes
[09:37] <liquidten2> KeithWeisshar:  I hate to say it, but was it burnt properly?
[09:37] <zerokarmaleft> Wapol, so applications will typically install to /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SomeApp/SomeApp.exe, and then you launch with wine: wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SomeApp/SomeApp.exe"
[09:38] <DarkED> bruenig: yeah, but i just want to mirror this partition to another, change the grub menu.lst, and boot into it :D
[09:38] <DarkED> i need this partition for another bigger distro
[09:38] <bruenig> DarkED, just overwrite everything with the other partition
[09:38] <KeithWeisshar> it was burned completely
[09:38] <kubuntu_nub> i downloaded mysql now how do i install it? :)
[09:38] <zerokarmaleft> Wapol: when you get tired of that you should write an executable bash script that issues the same command, or create a .desktop entry
[09:38] <KeithWeisshar> it was burned in nero
[09:38] <DarkED> bruenig: i tried, it wont lemme do some things in the /sys folder
[09:38] <DarkED> bruenig: says i dont have permissions to read, even as root
[09:39] <Madpilot> kubuntu_nub, if you got it from synaptic, it's already installed
[09:39] <Wapol> erm how do i open the programme after i install it?
[09:39] <bruenig> DarkED, this seems the most reasonable way to do it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087&highlight=backup+restore
[09:39] <KeithWeisshar> nero says it was burned successfully
[09:39] <bruenig> Dont exclude anything and then overwrite it all and make the appropriate changes to the menu.list
[09:39] <DarkED> thanks!
[09:39] <KeithWeisshar> i also see the burned area on the disc
[09:39] <loko555> i need a guide to handle wireless stuff, e.g. i can have the mac-adress of an router, now i want to connect, where can i find infos about this?
[09:40] <loko555> can somebody give me a tip please?
[09:40] <kubuntu_nub> i didnt get from synaptic

[09:41] <kubuntu_nub> terminal*
[09:41] <liquidten2> KeithWeisshar:  Is the DVD actually blank then, or is the OS just detecting it that way?  You could try to reboot with the CD in the drive and see if the install session starts.  If not, then  maybe the DVD could be physically bad.
[09:41] <Wapol> erm how do i open the programme after i install it?
[09:41] <loko555> heh, thanks bruenig
[09:41] <Madpilot> kubuntu_nub, please go read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP, it will answer all the questions you've been asking
[09:41] <bruenig> lol
[09:41] <KeithWeisshar> windows is detecting it this way
[09:41] <loko555> how should i know
[09:41] <Wapol> how do i open the programme after i install it?
[09:41] <cello_rasp> hue
[09:42] <bruenig> have to figure out it is a bot at some point
[09:42] <bruenig> not born with that knowledge
[09:42] <loko555> right
[09:42] <DarkED> bruenig: ok, it says to exclude /sys. you say to not exclude anything. what is in /proc and /sys?
[09:43] <Wapol> erm how do i open the programme after i install it?
[09:43] <DarkED> everything else copied
[09:43] <DarkED> except proc and sys, proc acts like nothing is in it
[09:43] <Wapol> like i dont know where it is even installed
[09:43] <liquidten2> the /proc and /sys don't matter, they are generated by the system upon bootup.
[09:44] <DarkED> liquidten2: ooh thanks bro!
[09:44] <DarkED> awesomness, it'll work then'
[09:44] <bruenig> DarkED, hopefully you have something that will hold that massive fle
[09:44] <bruenig> file*
[09:45] <loko555> Wapol: open a console, enter "updatedb" as root and then enter "locate xxx" where x is the name of your program
[09:45] <DarkED> bruenig: i have the target partition setup already, its smaller than this one, but large enough
[09:45] <KeithWeisshar> the dvd doesn't boot at all
[09:45] <KeithWeisshar> it was burned but it doesn't boot at all
[09:45] <bruenig> DarkED, are you going to fresh install or just copy over all of the files?
[09:46] <KeithWeisshar> and it appears blank when inserted
[09:46] <DarkED> one last question, im running nautilus as root (sudo) to move these files, will they retain permissions?
[09:46] <DarkED> bruenig: no no, im moving this ubuntu install from its old partition to an empty partition
[09:46] <KeithWeisshar> my dvd is a memorex dvd-r
[09:46] <bruenig> DarkED, by which I mean, are you going to fresh install and then overwrite or just copy over to a blank partition.
[09:46] <bruenig> oh
[09:46] <bruenig> o,m
[09:46] <bruenig> ok
[09:46] <bruenig> !enter
[09:46] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[09:47] <DarkED> bruenig: then im gonna format this partition and install fedora 5 on it, only reason im doing it is b/c this is the larger partition and i cant resize and fedora needs this space
[09:47] <bruenig> DarkED, i am interested to see if that will work. And as far as the permissions are concerned all the permissions should be retained according to this part of the how to "
[09:47] <bruenig> 'cvpfz' are the options we give to tar, like 'create archive' (obviously),
[09:47] <bruenig> 'preserve permissions'(to keep the same permissions on everything the same), and 'gzip' to keep the size down."
[09:47] <DarkED> if i resized i would need to make massive changes to the partition table and i would lose about 20gig of data
[09:48] <DarkED> lol its copying 200,000 some files atm :D
[09:49] <DarkED> add to the 70,00 i alread copied
[09:49] <DarkED> 70,000 even, lol
[09:49] <Krpano> how do i check which partition the bootloader is installed ?
[09:49] <Krpano> which disk
[09:49] <Krpano> *
[09:49] <PKR_> where are all the programs installed on ubuntu? like c:\programs in windows?
[09:49] <DarkED> Krpano: it should be installed to just /dev/hda, which is your mbr
[09:50] <byen> Guys, I can only mount usb drives using sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd.. how can mi auto mount them.. any suggestions
[09:50] <DarkED> Krpano: try running grub-conf
[09:50] <Krpano> yes...but at the instalation Ubuntu installed at hda....but the OS is installed at sda
[09:50] <DarkED> Krpano: ahh you are sata... sorry i dunno dude
[09:50] <Krpano> ok.thx...:)
[09:50] <ic56> PKR_: the executables are in /bin and /usr/bin
[09:50] <artzneo> hola
[09:51] <artzneo> alguien ah tenido problemas al actualizar kernell?
[09:51] <PKR_> ic56: im installing a program and it asks me where i want it.. should i put it in usr/bin?
[09:52] <ic56> PKR_: however, unlike windows, non-executable components of a program do *not* go in teh same directory as the executable.  This appears more complicated to newbies but makes invocation faster and administration easier because things are better classified
[09:52] <ic56> PKR_: what is the default that it's offering you?
[09:52] <KeithWeisshar> the disc is bad
[09:53] <KeithWeisshar> it's a memorex dvd-r
[09:53] <PKR_> ic56: it doesnt offer anything
[09:54] <SeraVitae> could anyone point me in the direction of the ubuntu .config file for 2.6.15-26-386?
[09:54] <EoF>  Hi, somebody knows if is there an "ubuntu" theme for the maemo 2.0?
[09:54] <PKR_> or i think it is offering a folder on the desktop
[09:54] <ic56> PKR_: the reason I ask is because the question might mean not where the executable is to go but in which hierarchy the package as a whole should go.
[09:54] <KeithWeisshar> the memorex dvd-r is actually cmc magnetics
[09:54] <ic56> PKR_: tell me the exact question and the exact folder name it's offering
[09:54] <jes-o-mat> SeraVitae: kernel config are located in /boot/config-*
[09:54] <neuro-> Can anyone recommend a PCI Wireless NIC that will work on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper?
[09:55] <loko555> D-Link DWL-G520
[09:55] <liquidten2> neuro-:  Any card based on ralink rt2400 or rt2500.  Google for a nice list.
[09:55] <neuro-> ta
[09:55] <neuro-> broadcom are idiots
[09:56] <jes-o-mat> SeraVitae: Or install the proper linux-headers-`uname -r` package and find the config in /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/.config
[09:56] <thessem> Anybody here know anything about mdadm?
[09:56] <livingdaylig> hello the good people of #ubuntu
[09:57] <thessem> or where I can get mdadm support?
[09:57] <jes-o-mat> thessem: meta-question...
[09:57] <Wapol> is there any method to make wine automatically open the .exe programme when i click on it?
[09:57] <KeithWeisshar> i have already deleted the iso after burning but the dvd doesn't work
[09:57] <thessem> meta-question?
[09:57] <KeithWeisshar> is there any way to undelete the iso on ntfs
[09:58] <jes-o-mat> mdadm is well documented and there are a   lots of pages to read first
[09:58] <thessem> jes-o-mat: I have read everything I can find about mdadm
[09:58] <Wapol> erm is there any method to make wine automatically open the .exe programme when i click on it?
[09:58] <Wapol> someone please tell me
[09:58] <thessem> jes-o-mat: and googling my question  turns up nothing
[09:58] <commctrl> thessem, which is why you should ask your real question
[09:59] <ic56> thessem: sometimes a question you think is specific to an app can be unswered, at least partially by people unfamiliar with the app because they recognize that your problem is more general or system-related.  Don't be lazy.  Compose a more detailed question
[09:59] <neuro-> So I should go with the "D-Link 	DWL-G510 rev C1 *" sourced from: http://ralink.rapla.net/
[09:59] <neuro-> ?
[10:00] <Wapol> help please
[10:00] <Wapol> erm is there any method to make wine automatically open the .exe programme when i click on it?
[10:00] <liquidten2> Wapol: Right click the .exe file, then choose open with, then click Add, and then type in wine.
[10:00] <sorush20> hi guys what do I have to install for qt headers/
[10:01] <Wapol> type in??
[10:01] <ic56> !info qt
[10:01] <ubotu> Package qt does not exist in dapper
[10:01] <ic56> !qt
[10:01] <ubotu> qt is the Q toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and a lot of other applications. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package.
[10:01] <thessem> Okay, whenever I try to make a 5 disk raid 5 array with mdadm, it always lists 6 devices, the second last one being marked as "removed" and the last one being the last device I specified in the create raid command. It considers the last one specified as a spare, even though I specified no spares and 5 active devices, and seems to want to embark on a 3000 minute long rebuild proccess
[10:01] <leks> Anyone aware where mono.pc is included?
[10:01] <thessem> anyone able to help
[10:01] <leks> what package?
[10:01] <Wapol> ok
[10:01] <thessem> or point me to help?
[10:02] <Wapol> i get it
[10:02] <Wapol> but must i do that everytime i start the .exe file?
[10:03] <liquidten2> Wapol:  No.  If you right click the .exe, then click Properties, then open with, then add, then type in wine, it'll be permanent.
[10:03] <ic56> thessem: well-written question.  If you don't get a reply, post it again in a few hours
[10:04] <linux2> any ubuntu devs here?
[10:04] <linux2> cause i need to ask a question of you
[10:04] <neuro-> lol ic56
[10:04] <liquidten2> Just remember that for 95% of Windows programs there is a Linux program that does the same thing, and that windows programs running in linux are much slower and much more unstable than running a genuine linux program.
[10:04] <thessem> ic56: Is there a better place I can ask it, as I have been trying to work this out for the past 4-5 hours, and I really just want a answer
[10:04] <ic56> !raid
[10:04] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[10:04] <sorush20> libqt3-mt-dev is installed but I keep getting the same error that it can not be found..
[10:04] <tibbe> how come sub directories of /usrt/lib aren't searched for .so files?
[10:06] <liquidten2> tibbe:  No program should be storing libraries in a sub directory of /usr/lib.    At least not in mine, all of the libraries are in /usr/lib, and the sub directories just contain other files, like icons and such.
[10:07] <Virtuaal> if I have some files on desktop, with long names and there are many icons then desktop is kind of ugly. Is there some way to fix this?
[10:07] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> what is the best free linux desktop firewall?
[10:07] <artemis> hallo zusammen
[10:07] <ic56> thessem: other than the wiki suggestions that ubotu provided, I cannot think of a better place.  You could try #debian and ##linux but they are less busy.  I searched my local cache of freenode channels and found no entries for either raid or md
[10:07] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> What is the best free linux desktop firewall? (Open for suggestions)
[10:08] <artemis> is somenone german in here?
[10:08] <Madpilot> XxXBrAnDoNXxX, try firestarter
[10:08] <Madpilot> !de
[10:08] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[10:08] <artemis> ok vielen dank
[10:08] <thessem> ic56: Thanks for helping, although I'm starting to think I'm the only one with this problem
[10:09] <XxXBrAnDoNXxX> Madpilot: lol running it now I was just looking for somthing more configureble.
[10:09] <tibbe> liquidten2, ok, the library in question is for the Neko virtual machine, it also has some none .so file (i.e. libraries but in the VM format), should they also go in /usr/lib?
[10:09] <thessem> Does anybody know how the kernel detects devices? as in, how to make a certain harddrive show up as sda, at the moment the hd connected to the first sata port is showing up as sdc
[10:10] <TheThingsThatWer> how do i uninstall apache2 from command prompt?
[10:10] <nilesh892003> hello friends
[10:10] <linux2> does anyone know what these numbers are
[10:10] <linux2> [17179580.952000]  next to the kernel messages
[10:10] <ic56> thessem: I know nothing about RAID configs but, just wondering if maybe it's caused by partition information stored on your disks?
[10:10] <linux2> and how do i turn them off?
[10:10] <linux2> if that is at all possible
[10:10] <Hikaru79> Hello niles :)
[10:10] <nilesh892003> could u help me to play online songs
[10:10] <ashes> hello. im trying to help my friend with ubuntu drapper. can someone tell me quick where he can get a standard ubuntu kernel config file?
[10:10] <nilesh892003> in ubuntu dappar
[10:11] <nilesh892003> any1
[10:11] <thessem> ic56: I have cleaned the disks of everything a couple of times. Know any way to fully zero them? also, it may be because my system disk (the one in the first harddrive port according to the mobo manual) is showing up as sdc, so my array has to go sda, sdb, sdd, sde, sdf
[10:11] <TheThingsThatWer> can anyone tell me how to uninstall apache2 in the command prompt?
[10:12] <nilesh892003> hello
[10:12] <Hikaru79> TheThingsThatWer: sudo apt-get remove apache
[10:12] <nilesh892003> any1 knows how to support port 554
[10:12] <TheThingsThatWer> Hikaru79: i tried that, it didn't really uninstall it
[10:12] <Hikaru79> How so?
[10:12] <Hikaru79> Perhaps you have apache2, not apache
[10:13] <TheThingsThatWer> thats what i said
[10:13] <Hikaru79> So it would be: sudo apt-get remove apache2
[10:13] <Hikaru79> Oh, sorry
[10:13] <Hikaru79> Missed that =x
[10:13] <TheThingsThatWer> Hikaru79 i did that, lol, it still didn't uninstall it
[10:13] <ic56> thessem: a Q&D way that does a *complete* clean of the drives is: for j in a b d e f
[10:13] <ic56>  do dd /dev/null /dev/sd$j
[10:13] <ic56>  done
[10:13] <nilesh892003> any one
[10:13] <nilesh892003> help me
[10:13] <nilesh892003> with port 554 support
[10:14] <thessem> ic56: Thanks, I'll come back with what happens when I try that
[10:15] <ic56> thessem: it'll be slow used this way.  man dd  for more details and play with block sizes to optimize.  There might even be zeroing option to save it having to read from /dev/null
[10:15] <Hikaru79> TheThingsThatWer: In what way is it not uninstalled? Does /etc/init.d/apache start still work?
[10:15] <ic56> thessem: this clears *all* info. including the MBR (which contains partitioning info)
[10:16] <BrianG> where do i get qmake from?
[10:16] <ic56> thessem: good luck!

[10:17] <nilesh892003> or this room is just for enjoy
[10:17] <nilesh892003> and fun
[10:17] <thessem> ic56: it seems like the best way to be completly sure that the problem isnt with the drives themselves, so im prepared to wait
[10:17] <ic56> thessem: ok
[10:17] <LoneShadow> !ask > nilesh892003
[10:18] <LoneShadow> !ask > LoneShadow
[10:18] <ic56> thessem: oops
[10:18] <nilesh892003> i want to allow port 554 access in my ubuntu machine
[10:18] <ic56> thessem: I should have said /dev/zero -- not /dev/null
[10:18] <LoneShadow> !firewall > LoneShadow
[10:18] <thessem> ic56: yeah, thats alot faster
[10:18] <ic56> thessem: oops
[10:19] <nilesh892003> i dont have any firewall installed
[10:19] <ic56> thessem: I'm really not on the ball it seems.
[10:19] <nilesh892003> till yet
[10:19] <sanmarcos> anybody using a video ipod have problems ejecting and getting rid of the do not disconnect message?
[10:19] <wietz0r> How can I mount an iso without burning it ?
[10:19] <nilesh892003> hello loneshadow i dont have any firewall
[10:19] <LoneShadow> nilesh892003: its not even playing on my windows machine
[10:20] <sanmarcos> wietz0r: mount -t iso9660 -o loop file.iso /mnt/point
[10:20] <nilesh892003> i am able to play on my windows
[10:20] <ic56> thessem: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd$j bs=1024
[10:20] <tibbe> how come python find its library files (.pyc) in /usr/lib/python2.4 but my program doesn't find its in /usr/lib/neko? is sub dirs not searched by default?
[10:20] <wietz0r> sanmarcos: :D
[10:20] <Monkey-D-Luffy> hi
[10:20] <sanmarcos> tibbe: huh?
[10:20] <Monkey-D-Luffy> what player would you recommend for ubuntu?
[10:20] <ic56> thessem: bs is the block size.  If you know that your disk uses bigger block sizes, then specify something other than 1024.  Actually,
[10:21] <lawine> Monkey-D-Luffy: player for what?
[10:21] <Monkey-D-Luffy> like to play wmv file movie files etc
[10:21] <LoneShadow> nilesh892003: it dosnt work on my firefox, but only on IE
[10:21] <LoneShadow> which browser are you using on ubuntu ?
[10:21] <Monkey-D-Luffy> .wmv .mov .wma .mp3
[10:21] <ic56> thessem: because a kernel call needs to be made for each block, specifying bigger block sizes, even if the underlying hardware doeesn't support them, can improve speed by reducing teh number of context switches.  Upto some maximum, the kernel will provide buffering.
[10:21] <Monkey-D-Luffy> what player would you recommend
[10:22] <netsui> mode netsui +d
[10:22] <nilesh892003> real player
[10:22] <ic56> thessem: try 8k.  Should be pretty fast
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> anything other than real player??
[10:22] <lawine> Monkey-D-Luffy: mplayer works for me, or VLC
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> mplayer?
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> a link ?
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> pls
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> thks
[10:22] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: xine, totem, mplayer, xine,
[10:22] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: GOOGLE
[10:22] <LoneShadow> apt-get install mplayer-586
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> oo
[10:22] <ic56> thessem: ok, I think that's it
[10:22] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ok
[10:22] <thessem> ic56: with the bs switch, can I just specify 8K?
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> which would you recommend
[10:23] <lawine> (google is not a player!)
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> xine totem mplayer or xine
[10:23] <ic56> thessem: yes, bs=8k is valid syntax
[10:23] <nilesh892003> i have xine
[10:23] <sanmarcos> mplayer and xine are the same shit, same engine
[10:23] <sanmarcos> totem uses the xine engine, or gstreamer
[10:23] <nilesh892003> it works on other sites
[10:23] <ic56> thessem: bs = BlockSize
[10:23] <sanmarcos> basically they are all the same
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> erm
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> a vote??
[10:23] <sanmarcos> mplayer probably a little more crude but powerful
[10:23] <nilesh892003> i can play online stream on other sites
[10:23] <nilesh892003> but on www.musicindiaonline.com
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> mplayer : 1
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> vote
[10:23] <nilesh892003> it shows port 554 is not accessible
[10:23] <LoneShadow> I pretty much use mplayer for my mythtv
[10:23] <Monkey-D-Luffy> any1 else?
[10:23] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: i suggest you go checkout the ubuntu wiki before wasting everybody's time here
[10:24] <Monkey-D-Luffy> sorry to trouble you
[10:24] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ok
[10:24] <LoneShadow> plays tv recordings, avi files, vcd, dvds, .. :D
[10:24] <thessem> ic56: Thanks. Even if that doesn't work at least I can be sure it isn't hd related
[10:24] <ic56> right on! The radio is playing Pink Floyd.
[10:24] <ic56> thessem: yw!
[10:25] <LoneShadow> can someone help nilesh, I dont think the port is an issue
[10:25] <thessem> Does anybody know if there is any way to change the way the kernel assigns harddisks to the sda, sdb, sdc type things?
[10:26] <sanmarcos> thessem: nope, automatic, but udev can make links
[10:26] <thessem> sanmarcos: Links?
[10:26] <sanmarcos> thessem: just a matter of creating rules
[10:26] <thessem> sanmarcos: Where can I find some info about that?
[10:26] <sanmarcos> thessem: yeah, for example, plug in your ipod, kernel assigns it to sda, or whatever, but Udev can detect the ipod in any port of the comp or wherever the kernel assigned it and rename it to /dev/ipod
[10:26] <ic56> thessem: actually, I think there might be a way.  You need to read up on kernel boot options.
[10:26] <sanmarcos> thessem: udev rules
[10:27] <sanmarcos> good luck
[10:27] <TheThingsThatWer> ok, i've typed in apt-get remove apache2 and it didn't really uninstall it, how would i go about uninstalling it in the command prompt?
[10:27] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: didnt really uninstall it?
[10:27] <LoneShadow> nilesh892003 check #ubuntu-in
[10:28] <lillpelle> TheThingsThatWer: maybe sudo apt-get remove apache2
[10:28] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: well, it uninstalled like 40KB of data, which i KNOW isn't the size of apache2, and when i connect to the server through a browser it still pops up with the Apache logo
[10:28] <sanmarcos> apache2 is a metapackage afaik
[10:28] <loko555> anyone knows what this means: mkdir: could not create /usr/local/man File exists
[10:29] <LoneShadow> if you used apt-get to install, you can do "apt-get --purge remove apaceh2:
[10:29] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: try dpkg -l apache|grep ii
[10:29] <LoneShadow> "
[10:29] <BrianG> how do i get qmake for QT4 in ubuntu?
[10:29] <rixth> How can I capture the output of ffmpeg to a file?
[10:29] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: dpkg -l apache*|grep ii sorry then apt-get remove --purge such package
[10:29] <rixth> Like, the text it displays.
[10:29] <sanmarcos> BrianG: try qt4-dev-tools
[10:29] <loko555> oh, found the fault
[10:30] <BrianG> sanmarcos: i have
[10:30] <sanmarcos> BrianG: not there?
[10:30] <BrianG> right
[10:30] <sanmarcos> try apt-cache search qmake
[10:31] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: when i did that it sayd o newly install, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded
[10:31] <sanmarcos> BrianG: dpkg -L qt4-dev-tools to list its contents
[10:31] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: did you install apache from source?
[10:31] <nilesh892003> hello
[10:31] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: if dpkg -l apache*|grep ^ii returns a list, then you have those packages installed
[10:32] <nilesh892003> there is any tv playing software for ubuntu
[10:32] <nilesh892003> ???????
[10:32] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: tvtime, mythtv, xawtv
[10:32] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: google!!, apt-cache search
[10:32] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: ah, sorry, i misunderstood you earlier i believe, so just uninstall all of those individual packages?
[10:32] <nilesh892003> i know
[10:32] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: it really depends on what your tv card is
[10:32] <nilesh892003> i installed xawtv
[10:32] <nilesh892003> but how to scan
[10:32] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: ii denotes that a package is installed
[10:32] <nilesh892003> for indian cable
[10:32] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: that was not your initial question
[10:32] <rixth> How can I capture the output of ffmpeg to a file? ffmpeg > log does not work, nor does ffmpeg >> log
[10:32] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: huh, no idea on that
[10:32] <nilesh892003> ya
[10:32] <BrianG> sanmarcos: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19084
[10:32] <LoneShadow> nilesh892003: for Indian cable, someone has to write a grabber for tv listings
[10:32] <nilesh892003> k
[10:33] <sanmarcos> rixth: the output of ffmpeg?
[10:33] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: that did it, thanks :-D
[10:33] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: sure
[10:33] <rixth> sanmarcos, yeah, the text that it outputs about the conversion process.
[10:33] <sanmarcos> rixth: be specific, what your full command is, what you are trying to do, etc
[10:33] <sanmarcos> rixth: try ffmpeg 2&1> out.txt
[10:33] <TheThingsThatWer> lol, so who can tell me a good program to use to set up a file server?
[10:34] <ic56> thessem you there?
[10:34] <sanmarcos> rixth: ehh sorry the & should go just before the >
[10:34] <Leeif> !bootsplash
[10:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about bootsplash - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:34] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: file server? ftp, web? samba?
[10:34] <rixth> "ffmpeg -i /home/rixth/file.mpg -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 -y /tmp/converter.mpg" is the command.
[10:34] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: proftpd, wuftpd. depends on what protocl you want
[10:34] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: ftp preferably
[10:34] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: alright, thx
[10:34] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: proftpd is good
[10:35] <BrianG> sanmarcos: no sign of qmake in the package
[10:35] <sanmarcos> rixth: add 21&> out.txt
[10:35] <sanmarcos> BrianG: apt-cache search qmake should give yout he package name
[10:35] <sanmarcos> rixth: and #bash would be more helpful for your kind of question
[10:35] <TheThingsThatWer> alright, i hate to ask so many questions, but it's been SO long since i've used Ubuntu, how do i enable universal in command prompt?
[10:35] <rixth> sanmarcos, that does make it go to the logfile, but the very last line of the log is "Unable for find a suitable output format for '21'" which is a ffmpeg error
[10:36] <rixth> When running " ffmpeg -i /home/rixth/file.mpg -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 -y ~/converter.mpg 21&> output.log"
[10:36] <sanmarcos> rixth: "ffmpeg -i /home/rixth/file.mpg -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 -y /tmp/converter.mpg" 21&> out
[10:36] <Leeif> i have the kubuntu bootsplash (kubuntu logo with progress bar and status text) and want to change it to the ubuntu splash (i uninstalled kde)
[10:36] <sanmarcos> rixth: mind the quotes, and check #bash
[10:36] <BrianG> sanmarcos: it does, but theres nothing qmake int he qt4 package
[10:36] <Monkey-D-Luffy> hi
[10:36] <thessem> ic56: Yes, did you say something, if you did, I probably missed it, and I'm using command line irc and cant scroll up (i dont know how)
[10:37] <sanmarcos> BrianG: weird, honestly dont do too much QT dev, you could try qt3, or just ask in #qt they might have a better answer, if not, you are pretty much hosed
[10:37] <Monkey-D-Luffy> when i put a thumbdrive and i try to access it it give me this error
[10:37] <rixth> sanmarcos, when I check the log is says "bash: ffmpeg -i /home/rixth/file.mpg -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 -y ~/converter.mpg: No such file or directory" going to bash now...
[10:37] <Monkey-D-Luffy> Unable to mount the selected volume. The volume is probably in a format that cannot be mounted.
[10:37] <BrianG> no, i need qt4
[10:37] <Monkey-D-Luffy> what does it need?
[10:37] <thessem> ic56: Nup, zeroing didn't work
[10:37] <Monkey-D-Luffy> mean
[10:37] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: is it a windows thumbdrive?
[10:37] <BrianG> thanks anyhow sanmarcos
[10:37] <Monkey-D-Luffy> erm
[10:37] <ic56> thessem: didn't say anything -- was waiting for you to come back.  I wanted to say that you might be able to remap /dev/hdc in your BIOS
[10:37] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: execute dmesg, check where it is in /dev
[10:37] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i dont think so
[10:38] <Monkey-D-Luffy> what do you mean?
[10:38] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: what kind of thumbdrive is it then?
[10:38] <sanmarcos> do you use it in windows?
[10:38] <Monkey-D-Luffy> yes
[10:38] <sanmarcos> I am trying to determine the file type
[10:38] <nilesh892003> how to configure gmail in evolution
[10:38] <sanmarcos> ok so it is vfat
[10:38] <thessem> ic56: How? it is already drive number 0, in the first sata port of the first controller, yet it is still sdc
[10:38] <Monkey-D-Luffy> what do you mean by dmesg
[10:38] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: google should help you, if not gmails help
[10:38] <TheThingsThatWer> how would do i enable universe and multiverse with the command prompt?
[10:38] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: as root execute that in a terminal
[10:38] <ic56> thessem: to search your IRC client's log for lines containing a keyword, use /lastlog   eg: /last ic56 will list messages from me or from others that mentioned me in their text
[10:38] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ok
[10:38] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:39] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: check the device name, it should be "sda", "sdb" or something around that
[10:39] <Monkey-D-Luffy>  sda: Current: sense key: Medium Error
[10:39] <Monkey-D-Luffy> [4304226.704000]      Additional sense: Unrecovered read error
[10:39] <Monkey-D-Luffy> [4304226.704000]  end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 256

[10:39] <Monkey-D-Luffy> [4304226.712000]  sda: Current: sense key: Medium Error
[10:39] <sanmarcos> yeah, dont paste so much in a channel, >3 lines is too much
[10:39] <ic56> thessem: spend some time in your BIOS config menu.  Alternately, maybe the mboard manual is wrong and drive 0 belongs in a different slot than the manual says...
[10:40] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: i'm using command prompt only... so i don't have any secondary programs to open up in a GUI :-\
[10:40] <sergiol_elsewher> hello
[10:40] <ic56> thessem: o-o
[10:40] <nilesh892003> how to configure tv card in ubuntu
[10:40] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ouch
[10:40] <nilesh892003> ?
[10:40] <Monkey-D-Luffy> shouldnt have pasted the whole thing
[10:40] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: try (as root) fdisk -l /dev/sda, it seems your thumbdrive is fscked up, you might have to format it again
[10:40] <sonny> i need a terminal emulator like  yakuake under gnome  who can tell me the software like it?
[10:40] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: what tv card
[10:40] <J-_> how do i format my NTFS external hard drive to fat32?
[10:40] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: use a text based editor
[10:40] <thessem> ic56: I'm sure its right, because grub talks to it via (hd0,0)
[10:40] <nilesh892003> pixelview play tv pro
[10:40] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: nano, vim, mcedit
[10:41] <Monkey-D-Luffy> how do i format the thumbdrive?
[10:41] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: no idea, google pixelview..... linux, should provide you with answers
[10:41] <nilesh892003> i had configured driver for that
[10:41] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: good question. what does fdisk -l say?
[10:41] <ic56> thessem: ah. yes, that is proof enough.  Oh well.  I wonder how it comes to be hdc though.  Strange
[10:41] <sanmarcos> nilesh892003: then it works?
[10:41] <CarlFK> Where does Ekiga save the settings?
[10:41] <nilesh892003> but dont have any good programm to work with that
[10:41] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ouch
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> here goes
[10:42] <peabody> I'v got a grub problem
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> Usage: fdisk [-b SSZ]  [-u]  DISK     Change partition table
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy>        fdisk -l [-b SSZ]  [-u]  DISK  List partition table(s)
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy>        fdisk -s PARTITION           Give partition size(s) in blocks
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy>        fdisk -v                     Give fdisk version
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> Here DISK is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> -u: give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> -b 2048: (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> phew
[10:42] <nilesh892003> tvime doesn`t scans channels
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> didnt get kicked
[10:42] <nilesh892003> and i dont know how to do it in xawtv
[10:42] <peabody> I just install unbuntu dapper over my previous fedora core 4 drives
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> erm
[10:42] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: -l is a lowercase L
[10:42] <peabody> It was an lvm setup that I kept
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ok
[10:42] <Monkey-D-Luffy> wait
[10:42] <sanmarcos> CarlFK: gconf probably
[10:42] <peabody> Everything seems to be okay, but grub won't boot.  It prints to the screen continuously
[10:43] <CarlFK> sanmarcos: yep - thanks
[10:43] <J-_> how do i format my NTFS external hard drive to fat32?
[10:43] <Monkey-D-Luffy> nope
[10:43] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i doesnt respond
[10:43] <h3x0r> What is the deal with lighttpd -7 conflicts with debian
[10:43] <Monkey-D-Luffy> it doesnt respond if i type fdisk -l
[10:43] <Monkey-D-Luffy> so how do i reformat the thumb?
[10:44] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: hmm, fucked up seriously, might want to consider just throwing the disk away
[10:44] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: or use dd to wipe it clean
[10:44] <Monkey-D-Luffy> erm...
[10:44] <Monkey-D-Luffy> sound crude
[10:44] <nilesh892003> hello i can play tv with xawtv but no sound with that
[10:44] <ic56> Monkey-D-Luffy: did you remember to use sudo?
[10:44] <sanmarcos> J-_: mkfs.vfat
[10:44] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i plugged it in yesterday and i worked
[10:44] <nilesh892003> what should to do now
[10:44] <ompaul> !language
[10:44] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:44] <Monkey-D-Luffy> sudo?
[10:44] <sanmarcos> J-_: but try gparted for a nice gui
[10:44] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: really?, huh, weird, I have no more answers then
[10:44] <ic56> Monkey-D-Luffy: sudo fdisk -l
[10:45] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i plugged it in yesterday and it worked
[10:45] <sanmarcos> oh obviosuly
[10:45] <Monkey-D-Luffy> wait
[10:45] <sanmarcos> fdisk requires privileges
[10:45] <livingdaylig> whats happening? Yakuake, k3b, Kaffeine - none work?!
[10:45] <J-_> k cool thanks, will the 300gb hdd be supported with fat32?
[10:45] <nilesh892003> hello what about tv sound in xawtv
[10:45] <Monkey-D-Luffy> Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>96 bytes
[10:45] <Monkey-D-Luffy> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

[10:46] <sanmarcos> not hda
[10:46] <Flannel> !paste
[10:46] <Monkey-D-Luffy> dats what i shows if i type sudo fdisk -l
[10:46] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:46] <sanmarcos> sda Monkey-D-Luffy
[10:46] <ompaul> Monkey-D-Luffy, please do not paste in this channel we have paste.ubuntu-nl.org for that
[10:46] <Flannel> J-_: are you using windowsXP with it? or what?
[10:46] <sanmarcos> J-_: not with winxp
[10:46] <Monkey-D-Luffy> oo
[10:46] <sanmarcos> J-_: and I would seriously consider another file system
[10:46] <Monkey-D-Luffy> sorry
[10:46] <Monkey-D-Luffy> but it worked yesterday!!
[10:47] <Monkey-D-Luffy> do you think i should restart the comp and try again?
[10:47] <sanmarcos> J-_: EXT3, XFS, JFS. EXT3 can be accessed natively on Windows, it works great
[10:47] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: wont change a thing
[10:47] <Flannel> sanmarcos: no they cant
[10:47] <sanmarcos> Flannel: www.fs-driver.org
[10:47] <Monkey-D-Luffy> ok...
[10:47] <Monkey-D-Luffy> so...
[10:47] <rixth> "error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.50: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" << why would one user get that, and another not?
[10:47] <sanmarcos> Flannel: yes, I've been using it for years, works excellent, not a flaw, and native
[10:47] <Flannel> sanmarcos: that's hardly natively, now is it?
[10:47] <Monkey-D-Luffy> fd driver?
[10:47] <Monkey-D-Luffy> fs driver?
[10:47] <sanmarcos> Flannel: native in the sense that you dojnt need ex2splore or whatever it was
[10:47] <Flannel> sanmarcos: and, you're one of the lucky ones, most people have nothing but problems
[10:48] <sanmarcos> Flannel: do you have problems with it?
[10:48] <Monkey-D-Luffy> erm
[10:48] <Flannel> J-_: anyway, yes, 300GB is fine for FAT, unless youre using an older version of windows
[10:48] <sanmarcos> Flannel: well it doesnt work if the ext3 needs a serious fsck, but overall it works
[10:48] <ic56> Monkey-D-Luffy: fdisk -l will only report drives that are partitioned.  So it's not helpful for corrupt disks.
[10:48] <sanmarcos> rixth: it cant find a library
[10:48] <Monkey-D-Luffy> o
[10:48] <sanmarcos> ic56: I was trying to find out where the partition was
[10:48] <rixth> sanmarcos, I know that much =) But why would only one user her it?
[10:48] <Monkey-D-Luffy> im talking about a thumbdrive
[10:48] <rixth> get it, rather
[10:49] <sanmarcos> rixth: because he or she (yes...) might not have the right library path set
[10:49] <rixth> sanmarcos, how can I set the paths?
[10:49] <sanmarcos> rixth: i.e that library might be in /usr/local and that might not be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, an environemntal variable
[10:49] <Monkey-D-Luffy> is there no solution?? : (
[10:50] <sanmarcos> richiefrich: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH if i remeber correctly
[10:50] <sanmarcos> but might want to check it with echo first to see if its already there
[10:50] <livingdaylig> got a fresh and clean install of Dapper, can't seem to install a kde app. Yakuake, K3B, Kaffeine, all appear to install but simply don't launch
[10:50] <ic56> sanmarcos: Yes, I realize that.  Remember that fdisk -l is essentially equivalent to cat /proc/partitions .  If the kernel cannot autodetect teh partition table for a disk, it doesn't show up there and you have to fall back on personal knowledge of the hardware layout
[10:50] <richiefrich> ??
[10:50] <thessem> ic56: Okay, now that all the disks are zero-d the recovery that always happens is only going to take an hour, so after that, it will just be an array that has had a failed disk and a spare has kicked in, so I'm happy
[10:50] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i think i see the problem
[10:50] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i plugged it into my windows computer
[10:50] <sanmarcos> ic56: yeah, but he should try reformating the whole disk again, and if it doesnt work then just throw it away, or maybe windows can do some voodoo to get it to work, though i doubt it
[10:50] <richiefrich> sanmarcos  u didnt mean me.. i'm thinking
[10:51] <richiefrich> :P
[10:51] <Monkey-D-Luffy> and it says the thumbdrive needs to format
[10:51] <livingdaylig> hello? can somoene advise me?
[10:51] <sanmarcos> richiefrich: ah no, stupid tab completion
[10:51] <Monkey-D-Luffy> but when i try to format it
[10:51] <Monkey-D-Luffy> it gives an error
[10:51] <sanmarcos> rixth: anywyays, I hope my answer helped
[10:51] <ic56> thessem: you're easy to please :-).  Sorry we couldn't find a better solution.  You can still try again later.
[10:51] <richiefrich> lol.. tis ok
[10:51] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i think the thumdrive is screwed
[10:51] <Maskeye> I'll think about it
[10:51] <livingdaylig> before my question above disappears and someone asks me to repeat
[10:51] <livingdaylig> hello
[10:51] <Monkey-D-Luffy> anyway to save it?
[10:51] <Flannel> Monkey-D-Luffy: format it, if that's what it says it needs
[10:52] <sanmarcos> Monkey-D-Luffy: format it
[10:52] <J-_> sanmarcos: can i ask for your opinion then? all my files are stored on xp currently(did a back up). now i want to format the external hdd to a filesystem so i can use both linux and xp with it. what's the better filesystem to use, since there are valued files in the backed up data.
[10:52] <ic56> sanmarcos: by reformatting, you imply partitioning, right?
[10:52] <Monkey-D-Luffy> i tried but it gives an error
[10:52] <Flannel> J-_: FAT32 will be fine
[10:52] <sanmarcos> ic56: no, just wiping the whole disk with dd, then creating a 100% vfat partition on it
[10:52] <livingdaylig> Ok, i find this frustrating. When i try to grab someone's attention i'm told to just put the question. But whenever i just put my question and wait for a response it disappears like the credits of Star Wars off the end of the screen
[10:52] <sanmarcos> J-_: as a filesystem FAT32 is very antiquated, but it will work fine. Though Windows XP has some issues with disks >130gb, might want to google
[10:53] <Flannel> livingdaylig: it's alright, people see it ;)
[10:53] <cotroler> I have just installed Enemy Territory for linux (opengl) and i have got no sound....do i need to install drivers
[10:53] <dooglus> livingdaylig: what's your question?
[10:53] <oskude> livingdaylig: well, thats life, use the *force (*patience)
[10:53] <sanmarcos> J-_: its either FAT32 or EXT3, I'll go with FAT
[10:53] <Flannel> sanmarcos, J-_: no, They can read just fine.
[10:53] <livingdaylig> haha, you see now someone says what is the question. Flannel obviously they don't
[10:53] <Monkey-D-Luffy> erm is there any other third party software to format the thumbdrive? windows seems to give an error
[10:53] <sanmarcos> Flannel: unless its the drive Windows is running on, right?
[10:53] <livingdaylig> dooglus: my kde apps are not working
[10:53] <sanmarcos> J-_: if you want more information, check the Excellent comparison of file systems on the english wikipedia
[10:53] <dooglus> livingdaylig: I could scroll back up and find it, but the writing's awfully small up there.
[10:53] <Flannel> sanmarcos: if windows was running on it, it would have to be NTFS.
[10:53] <ic56> sanmarcos: yeah, so long as you do create a partition, it can be autodetected.  If you don't partition, the kernel cannot autodetect.
[10:54] <Monkey-D-Luffy> help?
[10:54] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: how much do you know about proftpd?
[10:54] <Flannel> Monkey-D-Luffy: GParted can do it
[10:54] <sanmarcos> ic56: i am not sure it works quite that way, its not the kernel that mounts your thumb drive automatically
[10:54] <dooglus> livingdaylig: this channel is for ubuntu stuff.  kde stuff is in #kubuntu - maybe that's why you're not getting help.
[10:54] <J-_> k cool thanks, i'll check'r out =D
[10:54] <oskude> livingdaylig: how do you think we can help with such small info ?
[10:54] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: dont use it extensively, it just works out of the box, but I have configured it quite well
[10:54] <Monkey-D-Luffy> hmm i think the thumbdrive is screwed :(
[10:55] <livingdaylig> dooglus: i made a fresh clean install of Dapper; but Yakuake, Kaffeine and K3B don't run
[10:55] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: well, i have looked through the manual pages and i can't find anything about configuring username and password
[10:55] <Monkey-D-Luffy> but i dont remember dropping it :(
[10:55] <oskude> livingdaylig: you could try running the programs from terminal and pastin the errors you get...
[10:55] <sanmarcos> ic56: the kernel will recognize the usb device, then it will try to use scsi emulation for the whatever volumes there are on it. Its a combination of hal/udev/dbus and gnome-volume-manager that makes the magic work
[10:55] <ic56> sanmarcos: for example, my /dev/hdb contains a single filesystem.  There is not /dev/hdb1 There is no partition table.  Just one big filesystem starting at block 0.  mount -l doesn't report that drive.
[10:55] <oskude> livingdaylig: *pastebin
[10:55] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: username and password are just your regular unix accounts
[10:55] <dooglus> livingdaylig: fresh clean installs of ubuntu dapper don't have any of those apps
[10:55] <livingdaylig> dooglus: that is a silly thing to say. If i go to #kubuntu then they'll say its because i'm in ubuntu and should install kubuntu
[10:55] <Flannel> ic56: that's because it's not mounted, as it's not partitioned
[10:55] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: oh, lol, thx
[10:56] <dooglus> livingdaylig: you're trying to run k3b in GNOME?
[10:56] <sanmarcos> ic56: really? It has to have a main partition, it should be /dev/hdb1 what you mount, not /dev/hdb as it is the device itself
[10:56] <livingdaylig> dooglus: like i put initially, after the clean install i installed some things as one does, including the 3 i mentioned
[10:56] <peabody> I cannot get grub to boot my system, can anyone help?
[10:56] <livingdaylig> dooglus: yes, i always have done
[10:56] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: man pages are not usually nice to newcomers, try googling for proftpd configuration, there are nice examples. If not, I can provide you with my configuration
[10:56] <livingdaylig> dooglus: i used yakuake only yesterday in gnome
[10:56] <peabody> It just streams the word grub all arcoss the screen
[10:56] <livingdaylig> dooglus: and k3b
[10:57] <dooglus> livingdaylig: what do you see when you run 'k3b' from a terminal?  (or from a konsole)?
[10:57] <ic56> Flannel: incorrect.  fdisk -l doesn't list things which are mounted.  It lists partitions that can be read from partition tables.  If you clobber the partition table to squeeze an extra track out of your disk, /proc/partitions cannot see them.   mounting works fine, /etc/fstab works fine.  It's just that the kernel cannot autodetect
[10:57] <oskude> livingdaylig: could you please start them from terminal ? so we can have some error messages... that "it just doesnt work" never helped anyone :/
[10:57] <ic56> sanmarcos: yes, I mount /dev/hdb directly.  I'm cheap!
[10:57] <livingdaylig> oskude: there is nothing to paste. The apps appear to install using either apt-get or synaptic but its when i click on them in Applications that they just don't come up
[10:57] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: lol, don't suppose you would know how to make Windows XP notice it as a network drive would you (sorry for bugging you so much!)
[10:57] <oskude> grrrrrrr
[10:58] <peabody> I am desperate, can anyone help me troubleshoot grub to boot my system
[10:58] <dooglus> livingdaylig: what if you run them from a terminal?
[10:58] <dooglus> livingdaylig: instead of clicking the icon
[10:58] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: network drive? that is totally different
[10:58] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: that is Samba, your linux comp will appear on your Workgroup stuff in XP, and you can share printers, folders, drives, etc
[10:58] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: i'm a complete and total idiot when it comes to networking... :'(
[10:58] <oskude> livingdaylig: applications - accessories - terminal, type there k3b and press enter
[10:59] <sanmarcos> ftp is file transfer protocol, different to the "nice" stuff you see in xp
[10:59] <sanmarcos> ic56: well I would guess the devs would have made it so that devices with a single partition are able to use such shortcut
[10:59] <Flannel> TheThingsThatWer: proftpd uses the regular user accounts
[11:00] <sanmarcos> ic56: but its better to use /dev/hdb1 and get used to the numbers. You wouldnt want to confuse yourself when doing risky stuff (dd, file systems, partitions, fdisk) etc.
[11:00] <dooglus> is there an irc client or a terminal program which scrolls the text up like the beginning of starwars?  that would be cool
[11:00] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: apt-get install samba if you want the Windows way
[11:00] <sanmarcos> dooglus: eh?
[11:00] <sanmarcos> dooglus: checkout cmatrix :(
[11:01] <sanmarcos> dooglus: or irssi if you want a text irc client
[11:01] <TheThingsThatWer> sanmarcos: and windows will notice it after that?
[11:01] <dooglus> sanmarcos: instead of scrolling the text straight up, make it get smaller, like it's going into the distance.  like in the opening scenes of star wars
[11:01] <sonny> i want to let a program auto run when i login,how can i accomplish it?
[11:01] <sanmarcos> TheThingsThatWer: yes, samba is prepared for that
[11:01] <dooglus> sanmarcos: a long time ago in a galaxy far away, etc
[11:01] <sanmarcos> dooglus: doubt you can do that in a terminal, but it can be easily accomplished in GTK using GtkHTML
[11:02] <sanmarcos> totally annoying, but it can be done if you know some GTK and C
[11:02] <dooglus> sanmarcos: GtkHTML just renders HTML doesn't it?
[11:02] <dooglus> sanmarcos: (badly)
[11:02] <sanmarcos> dooglus: yes, it would be the easier way to implement what you want
[11:02] <sanmarcos> but you could use QT or any other toolkit
[11:02] <Flannel> !tell TheThingsThatWer about samba
[11:02] <livingdaylig> oskude: dooglus, permission denied? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19085
[11:02] <sanmarcos> dooglus: anyways, besides from the bling bling, I dont see any logical or practical reasons for using that
[11:03] <mcphail> dooglus: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
[11:03] <ic56> sanmarcos: no special code is needed to make /dev/hdb work as a filesystem.  /dev/hdb is just raw disk sectors /dev/hdb1 is more raw disk sectors but beginning at an offset specified by the partition table.  I agree that it's better to advise newbies to partition, then format a filesystem.  Which is why I was surprised when you said to format the whole disk.
[11:03] <dooglus> sanmarcos: there are none.  it's just that livingdaylig said his question was going into the distance like a starwars intro
[11:03] <sanmarcos> dooglus: I mean you could make it so when you scroll up the text widens, like the Os X dock does with its icons. But it would take some knowledge of advanced GUI proggramming whatever toolkit you are in
[11:03] <dooglus> sanmarcos: and I was wondering how that would be possible
[11:03] <oskude> livingdaylig: hmm, what are the permissions to that file ? "ls -lah /home/grasshopper/.kde"
[11:04] <oskude> livingdaylig: *folder
[11:04] <sanmarcos> ic56: :) anyways I think that thumb drive is doomed anyways.. they are so cheap these days, and flash memory isnt exaclty durable
[11:04] <livingdaylig> oskude: i don't know. Usuallly all i do is install something and run it
[11:04] <dooglus> sanmarcos: I wonder whether just applying an imagemagick filter over an existing app would work.  something in the window manager perhaps, like the XGL stuff does to make windows wobble/whatever?
[11:04] <sanmarcos> dooglus: huh?. XGL just uses OpenGl
[11:04] <oskude> livingdaylig: ... run this in terminal "ls -lah /home/grasshopper/.kde" and pastebin the result
[11:05] <sanmarcos> dooglus: you could do it in OpenGL if you wanted too, probably be the smartest choice, since you start from sracth and would not have to hack around Gtk or QT widgets
[11:05] <Leeif> oskude: how do i change my bootsplash screen?
[11:05] <dooglus> livingdaylig: what does "ls -ld /home/grasshopper/.kde" show?
[11:05] <oskude> Leeif: dunno, never done that...
[11:06] <sanmarcos> dooglus: just steal (err, use gpl code), an irc engine, and code a small GL app to do it. Knowledge of C, some math, and a good chunk of GL. You could do it easily
[11:06] <ic56> sanmarcos: you may be right.  Then again, we never found out if his partition table was corrupt.  The electronics may be fine -- just the formatting data may be corrupt.
[11:06] <sanmarcos> not even C, you could do it in Python if you wanted dooglus
[11:06] <dooglus> sanmarcos: I'm thinking that rather than write a new IRC app, I'd modify the compiz window manager (or whatever it's called) to add a new effect to 'star-wars-ify' any app
[11:06] <livingdaylig> oskude: dooglus, said "permission denied"
[11:06] <sanmarcos> ic56: indeed.. Gparted could easily fix that
[11:07] <ic56> sanmarcos: agreed
[11:07] <oskude> livingdaylig: ah of course, sorry, try "sudo ls -lah /home/grasshopper/.kde"
[11:07] <dooglus> livingdaylig: what does "ls -ld /home/grasshopper" show?
[11:07] <sanmarcos> dooglus: the window manager handles the entire window, not its contents
[11:07] <Flannel> guys, take the star wars IRC client to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[11:07] <sanmarcos> dooglus: you could make a window appear in such a way, but that is not what  you want
[11:07] <dooglus> oskude: he should have permission to list stuff in his own home directory!
[11:08] <Flannel> dooglus: it means he's run things with sudo, instead of gksudo or kdesu
[11:08] <oskude> dooglus: of course, if it where so, there wouldnt have been permission denien when running k3b...
[11:08] <dooglus> Flannel: I don't think that would ever make the command I asked him to run fail
[11:08] <Nilvio> hey 1 question
[11:08] <Flannel> dooglus: if he didn't have permission to read it, because it was owned by root, then yes, it would
[11:08] <sanmarcos> as root just sudo chown user:group /home/you/* -R and then chmod 770 * -R on it
[11:09] <dooglus> oskude: I'm thinking that ~ is writable but ~/.kde isn't.  but "ls -ld ~/.kde" shouldn't fail, even if root does own ~/.kde
[11:09] <Nilvio> my wow use 450/750 memory
[11:09] <sanmarcos> good settings, 775 if you want to  be more permissive
[11:09] <Nilvio> what i need to do if i want all memory to wow ?
[11:09] <livingdaylig> oskude: dooglus, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19086
[11:09] <sanmarcos> Nilvio: to wow?
[11:09] <oskude> livingdaylig: omg, how did you install k3b ?
[11:09] <J-_> ##linux
[11:09] <dooglus> livingdaylig: that's not the command I asked you to run.
[11:09] <J-_> er
[11:09] <J-_> sorry
[11:09] <Nilvio> when i play wow
[11:09] <dooglus> livingdaylig: can you copy and paste?  I wanted "ls -ld ~/.kde"
[11:09] <oskude> dooglus: but what i asked
[11:10] <ic56> Nilvio, sanmarcos: like, *wow* man! :-)
[11:10] <sanmarcos> ic56: totally dude
[11:10] <Nilvio> that use only 450/750
[11:10] <J-_> ment to go to that channel =\
[11:10] <livingdaylig> dooglus: sorry
[11:10] <sanmarcos> Nilvio: you want WoW to get more memory than average?
[11:10] <Nilvio> yes
[11:10] <sanmarcos> Nilvio: man nice
[11:11] <Jenkins> Could somebody tell me how to install linux-headers  using sudo apt-get install linux-headers. It shows a list of them but i cannot figure out how to select the one i want.
[11:11] <oskude> livingdaylig: well, the ~/.kde dir is owned by root, as you can see...
[11:11] <sanmarcos> Nilvio: as root nice can change the way the system grants resources to a specific process. I suggest you read the manpage first, then you could use the Gnome System Monitor to change the nice of a process
[11:11] <dooglus> livingdaylig: a "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.kde" will fix your problem
[11:11] <Flannel> livingdaylig: You need to stop running graphical apps as root with sudo
[11:11] <sanmarcos> Jenkins: try uname -r
[11:11] <livingdaylig> dooglus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19087
[11:11] <Jenkins> sanmarcos: what does uname -r do?
[11:11] <sanmarcos> Jenkins: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[11:12] <Nilvio> i use Gnome system
[11:12] <mcphail> Jenkins: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[11:12] <Jenkins> sanmarcos: thanks i'll try that
[11:12] <dooglus> Jenkins: it tells you your kernel version
[11:12] <sven> any tips on how to make a grub menu item that does not start gdm? (i'd like to be able to do a "quickboot" right to the console)
[11:12] <livingdaylig> oskude: any idea how that could have happened? i installed Dapper as i always do ; never had this happen?
[11:12] <Jenkins> says couldnt find package linux-headers-uname -r
[11:12] <dooglus> livingdaylig: probably running "sudo k3b" did it
[11:12] <sanmarcos> Jenkins: mind the quotes
[11:12] <Flannel> livingdaylig: you used sudo for a graphical app
[11:12] <sanmarcos> Jenkins: they are back ticks ``
[11:12] <Jenkins> what you mean mind the quotes?
[11:12] <dooglus> livingdaylig: some kde apps are buggy and don't work right with sudo
[11:12] <mcphail> Jenkins: copy the line exactly (with the backticks)
[11:13] <oskude> livingdaylig: have you been using sudo where youre not supposed to ?
[11:13] <sanmarcos> Jenkins: apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) also does it
[11:13] <Jenkins> k
[11:13] <Flannel> livingdaylig: which is why you use gksudo or kdesu for graphical apps
[11:13] <livingdaylig> dooglus: i wouldn't have run sudo k3b
[11:13] <Jenkins> that did it thank you
[11:13] <dooglus> livingdaylig: "sudo <some other kde app>" then?
[11:13] <oskude> Flannel: what ? i cant run "X" apps withs sudo ? could you give me info on that ?
[11:13] <livingdaylig> dooglus: maybe it happened with yakuake, maybe
[11:14] <livingdaylig> dooglus: so the command line you gave me is the solution?
[11:14] <livingdaylig> dooglus: just punch that in?
[11:14] <dooglus> oskude: "X" apps are OK, as are GTK apps.  it's just KDE apps which aren't, I think
[11:14] <dooglus> livingdaylig: yup.
[11:14] <dooglus> livingdaylig: that will CHange OWNer Recursively to <you> and group to <you>
[11:14] <Flannel> QT has problems with sudo, which is why it's easier to just say "dont run graphical apps" because, using your special graphical sudo is NEVER going to cause problems
[11:15] <sanmarcos> Flannel: qt has problems with sudo?
[11:15] <Flannel> sanmarcos: yes.
[11:15] <livingdaylig> dooglus: i'm indebted - thank you soooooMUCH
[11:15] <dooglus> it's easier to say "just always log in as root" then you never need to use sudo or gksudo.
[11:15] <livingdaylig> To ALL of YOU
[11:15] <sanmarcos> Flannel: not having X credentials? I would try sux -c qtapp
[11:15] <Flannel> dooglus: no, that's the exact opposite.
[11:15] <oskude> Flannel: hmm, got any "written down" info on that ?
[11:15] <cotroler> Azureus needs JRE...I have Java installed...is Java and JRE the same????
[11:16] <sanmarcos> cotroler: for your purposes, yes
[11:16] <Locke> does anyone know anything about installing a Ventrilo server?
[11:16] <tristan> !keyboard
[11:16] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts (Gnome) or "input actions" in Kcontrol (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[11:16] <sanmarcos> cotroler: technically no
[11:16] <Flannel> oskude: er, references? no.  but, it's important enough (I'm not selling snakeoil) enough for this:
[11:16] <Jenkins> Locke: i do
[11:16] <Flannel> !kdesu
[11:16] <ubotu> In KDE, use kdesu to run graphical applications with root priveleges when you have to. Do *not* do sudo {GUIAPP}; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo
[11:16] <sanmarcos> cotroler: just install jre to use azureus
[11:16] <Flannel> !gksudo
[11:16] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using sudo {guiapp}
[11:16] <Jenkins> Locke: kinda, i run my own Teamspeak Server from my windows machine
[11:16] <cotroler> sanmarcos: so to install azureus java is enough right?
[11:16] <Leeif> sanmarcos: do u know how to change my bootsplash screen?
[11:16] <Locke> Jenkins: i run a Ventrilo server on my Windows machine, i just don't know how to install it under Ubuntu
[11:16] <oskude> ok ...
[11:16] <Flannel> oskude: so, no, I have no links, but Se-veas kindly added ubout commands
[11:16] <livingdaylig> oskude: thax too. NO, i'm not aware of having used sudo to run any application. Coz aftrer installing i always run them from Applications.
[11:17] <Jenkins> Locke: Well if it is running under Windows why you want it  under Ubuntu?
[11:17] <likwidtek_> yay!  I'm chatting on my ubuntu powerbook g4 baby.  54m airport extreem to hahaha  i was so sad when i thought there was no broadcom support for ubuntu but silly me
[11:17] <likwidtek_> mine runs stable at 54M  woot
[11:17] <Jenkins> Locke: running the server doesnt really use up many resources (at least teamspeak)
[11:17] <sanmarcos> Leeif: bootsplash screens are usually specificed in grub's menu.lst or whatever lilo uses. You have to change the bootsplahs screen and maybe regenerate the initrd if it is stored there. I havent used bootsplash screens in a long time
[11:17] <dooglus> livingdaylig: you might need to change some other dirs too.  do an "ls -la ~ | grep root" to see if anything else is owned by root
[11:17] <oskude> Flannel: ok, good to know
[11:17] <Jenkins> Likwidtek: i use my broadcom wireless on Ubuntu
[11:18] <Jenkins> Likwidtek: i just had to grab the drivers from my windows partition
[11:18] <likwidtek_> lol ok 11M it is haha
[11:18] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: why uses linux when you have os x?
[11:18] <Locke> Jenkins: i restart my PC way too often and i have a server in my closet i use for stuff like this
[11:18] <likwidtek_> sanmarcos, to learn
[11:18] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: learn what?
[11:18] <likwidtek_> ubuntu
[11:18] <Jenkins> Locke: i see. well I'm not too familiar with linux. sorry i cant help ya
[11:18] <tristan> HOw can I modify my keyboard configuration? My function button does not work (I suppose is not recognized) and therefore I cannot decrease the luminosity of my screen...
[11:18] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: os x, for all purposes has all the same gnu utilities and unix core as linux
[11:18] <likwidtek_> and for geek points
[11:18] <likwidtek_> lol
[11:18] <livingdaylig> Flannel: i must have done but i'm not in the habit of doing so, hence i can't be 1000%sure that i didn't. but the fact of the problem implies that i must have done. I'm glad it appears to beb resolved. I'll certainly be even more conscious of the caution now
[11:18] <Leeif> sanmarcos: not grub splash, bootslash (ubuntu splash)
[11:19] <likwidtek_> Jenkins, you able to run stable at 54M wireless?
[11:19] <J-_> will ext3 be detected on xp, when i turn my external hard drive on?
[11:19] <oskude> J-_: no
[11:19] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: ubuntu != linux, linux is the kernel, What you would learn is basically GNOME and the gui. And some Debian related commands such as apt, synaptic and so on
[11:19] <sanmarcos> J-_: if you have fs-driver yes
[11:19] <Jenkins> Likwidtek: i usually just run wired connection, but my strength is always max
[11:19] <sanmarcos> J-_: if not, it will just say the drive has no formatting, and will ask you to format it, do not..
[11:19] <blkdomini> hi all
[11:19] <Flannel> J-_: no
[11:19] <sanmarcos> Leeif: the ubuntu spalsh is specified in the grub config file
[11:20] <livingdaylig> dooglus: thx, heres the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19088
[11:20] <Jenkins> !broadcom > Jenkins
[11:20] <DrBashir2> can I install Opera with apt-get?
[11:20] <sanmarcos> J-_: for all purposes, fs-driver works great for me. But if you want to be on the safe side, just use vfat
[11:20] <likwidtek_> sanmarcos, well I'm not very good with linux... my biggest problem has always been finding a great community that doesnt just scream RTFM at you when you ask questions.  the ubuntu community is amazing and I think it is fun to run it on my mac.  It's dual booted so I float between the two
[11:20] <sanmarcos> DrBashir: not from ubuntu afaik, but opera has debs
[11:20] <ardchoille> Flannel: When nautilus starts up, it manages the desktop, whioch means it put icons on the desktop as well as a right-click menu on the desktop. I use openbox as my window manager because it has a customisable right-click menu for the desktop. When you run "gksudo nautilus" it changes the desktop and replaces my right-click menu because nautilus manages the desktop and using gksudo makes the root nautilus replace the users' desktop. You can o
[11:21] <ardchoille> Sorry for the long paragraph folks.
[11:21] <DrBashir2> sanmarcos: so I need to use firefox to get Opera?
[11:21] <Flannel> ardchoille: er, you sure that belongs to me?  and, it got cut off at "you can o"
[11:21] <Leeif> sanmarcos: ok
[11:21] <Jenkins> !broadcom > likwidteck
[11:21] <dooglus> livingdaylig: run this then: "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.{gnome,local,qt}"
[11:21] <sanmarcos> likwidtek: the ubuntu community welcomes newbies because 90% of its user base is newcomers. Most users here that ask newbie quetsions would be RTFM'd to hell in #debian
[11:21] <Jenkins> !broadcom > likwidteck_
[11:21] <blkdomini> i have a problem with engage toolbar
[11:21] <sanmarcos> DrBashir: ehh no, just a web browser
[11:21] <dooglus> livingdaylig: then check again with that ls command to make sure there are none lef
[11:21] <ardchoille> Flannel: I was just saying that gksudo nautilus can cause problems where sudo nautilus does not.

[11:21] <amarokker> ardchoille: you didnt use a wordprocessor to type the messages now, do you? :D
[11:21] <Locke> can someone help me with installing something under Ubuntu?
[11:21] <vl_h> opera can be downloaded from opera.com
[11:21] <sanmarcos> DrBashir: its like in windows, you need to use IE to get firefox, unless you have it from some other source
[11:22] <blkdomini> please help me
[11:22] <sanmarcos> Locke: such as?
[11:22] <ruxpin> suddenly permissions for /dev/null changed, and normal users can't write to it anymore.. what could be the cause?
[11:22] <livingdaylig> dooglus: LOL  :)  i really messed something up there it looks like. I'm glad the Force is strong in you. I feel in good hands
[11:22] <Flannel> ardchoille: no, I wouldn't classify that as "messing up"  you're running it as a different user, and as such, have different preferences.
[11:22] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: lol
[11:22] <wthww> me needs help :'(
[11:22] <amarokker> has anyone noticed? the latest opera builds have been unusually slow on linux- or is it a dapper issue?
[11:22] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root is default, just chmod/own it as root and all should be fine
[11:22] <blkdomini> the error is:
[11:22] <Jenkins> likwidteck_: i have a link for you to look at for your wireless card issue

[11:23] <Flannel> !paste
[11:23] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[11:23] <Locke> sanmarcos: i'm trying to install a ventrilo server on a server i have in my closet, and it's only command prompt, no GUI, and i'm trying to install a ventrilo server, and i don't even know how to open a tar.gz file in command prompt
[11:23] <s_spiff> anyone here knows a good tcp/ip based messenger? i'm sick of this xipmsg!
[11:23] <amarokker> wthww: crying won't help. state your problem, mate :)
[11:23] <sanmarcos> ruxpin: that is 666 in numeric, yes /dev/null is the devil
[11:23] <wthww> k
[11:23] <sanmarcos> Locke: tar.gz you do with tar zxvf file.tar.gz
[11:23] <blkdomini> why?
[11:23] <ardchoille> Flannel: ah hah, you just solved a problem for me that no one else has been able to solve. Thank you vey much. I'll change the root desktop around to use openbox instead of metacity
[11:23] <ic56> !it
[11:23] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[11:24] <DrBashir2> sanmarcos:  crap, I removed FF, its still running, but it cant start the download dialog... :|
[11:24] <dooglus> Locke: "tar xf file.tar.gz" is the easiest way.  "tar xf" works for all kinds of tar files, whether they're compressed or not
[11:24] <likwidtek_> Jenkins, this one?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper this one?
[11:24] <livingdaylig> dooglus: i think this looks better now. Only Root is root as should be, yea? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19089
[11:24] <J-_> sanmarcos: well, it seems like ext3 has a lot more options than fat32, and linux uses ext3, i just want to format the drive so i can use it with linux, since i'm putting linux on both of my computers, i just need to get onto xp to transfer the files, and possible if i go somewhere and i need to use a windows system, i can use the external drive. i think i'm going to go with ext3, hopefully it's the better choice and the hard drive doesn't go
[11:24] <Jenkins> yah that or the one i IM'd you
