[15:48] <duffydack> shane2peru, hmm, generally, you have to get the source package and drop into the libavcodec folder of the ffmpeg source, to be able to --enable-whatever
[15:48] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I don't think I quite understand what you are trying to do...
[15:48] <coffeej> i'm trying to backup xorg.conf but it tells me "No such file or directory"  how do i proceed
[15:48] <SingAlong> chucky: you can just add nm-applet to your startup :)
[15:49] <iceroot> coffeej: post your line you are using to backup
[15:49] <newabz> i wanted to know the stability of dual OS i.e vista with ubunta. bit scared 'coz never installed or used before..
[15:49] <Halitech> coffeej, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
[15:49] <SingAlong> chucky: so just go straight to your synaptic and install lxde without a second thought. its nice too. dont expect it to be dumb just because i said its lighter than xfce :)
[15:49] <iceroot> coffeej:sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original ?
[15:49] <shane2peru> duffydack: ok, I built from source, let me check that out
[15:49] <duffydack> shane2peru, been a while since i compiled ffmpeg, but just do ./configure to list all the options available...if a watermark one is not there, you`d need to add the dev files for it.
[15:49] <SingAlong> chucky: there's currently no trash in lxde. delete and it does straight out. :)
[15:50] <newabz> huh.. no one is helping me yet
[15:50] <newabz> :(
[15:50] <duffydack> shane2peru, thats how I integrated libamr (3gp)
[15:50] <eni23> mikinanuq: i killed everything, but still the same
[15:50] <coffeej> iceroot:cp etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup
[15:50] <timgws> I am trying to convince  a friend to move to Ubuntu and was telling her about the great support.
[15:50] <iceroot> coffeej: X11 instead of x11
[15:50] <timgws> Anyone here to back me up?
[15:50] <iceroot> coffeej: you can use tab for such things
[15:50] <Blackbird2> What does it mean when GParted is "moving the file system to the right" and why does it take an eternity compared to everything else you can do with a filesystem?
[15:50] <iceroot> !tab | coffeej
[15:51] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I am trying to use the text installer in a terminal window (so I can configure LVM+LUKS+special partitions) while still using IRC and some GUI-only apps on the same box.
[15:51] <chucky> SingAlong, so xfce4 goes straight out?
[15:51] <coffeej> iceroot: thanks
[15:51] <kallepersson> Where can I get the latest Karmic beta? The link on http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha3#Download%20Alpha%203 is 404
[15:51] <Serendippo> newabz: dual OS's don't affect each others stability. if you install ubuntu, a bootmanager will be installed that'll give you the choice which OS to boot.
[15:51] <iceroot> timgws: you have a ubuntu-related support-question?
[15:51] <chucky> SingAlong, no issues with xubuntu n im on 256mb ram also it got a good interface and fast right...?
[15:51] <timgws> iceroot: not at all, just showing my friend that Linux community > Windows
[15:51] <SingAlong>  chucky: no you can keep that as well. :)
[15:51] <eni23> mikinanuq: hold on. i will do a killall5
[15:51] <dtownhero> morning - got my wife a new dell studio 17 yesterday and wiped windows from it. Her sound is VERY low after installing Ubuntu... any ideas?
[15:51] <iceroot> timgws: of course
[15:51] <SingAlong> chucky: if you like xfce you can keep it :)
[15:52] <timgws> well, I know that :P
[15:52] <SingAlong> chucky: just said lxde is lighter. you can keep both lxde and xfce and use them whenever you need
[15:52] <mikinanuq> eni23: yeah not sure what it could be, maybe there's a module that depends on the hda intel module .. etc
[15:52] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: If I'm understanding you correctly, you can't install a system onto another drive without being fully immersed in the install process. ... unless you are installing into a VM.
[15:52] <SingAlong> dtownhero: type in alsamixer in your terminal and increase the volume there
[15:52] <shane2peru> duffydack: ok, thanks for the pointers!  I did a locate watermark.so and it is nowhere to be found on my system, so I doubt I have it even in those folders.
[15:52] <chucky> SingAlong, how do i use different desktop environments?
[15:53] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ( but if you are installing into a VM, that's not directly to disk. )
[15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, it is at full volume
[15:53] <root> hello
[15:53] <iceroot> chucky: at same time?
[15:53] <duffydack> shane2peru, actually, configure and install the watermark from source.. then you can --enable
[15:53] <SingAlong> dtownhero: when you get your login screen go to options and select the desktop session and then select xfce or lxde :)
[15:53] <hackerkid1031> ok cool
[15:53] <ubuntu> !PartitionManager
[15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, LOL
[15:53] <iceroot> root: using irc as root?
[15:53] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: now there's an idea - I could run the installer in a VM, but map my hard disk through the VM...  the installer wouldn't know the difference
[15:53] <SingAlong> dtownhero: when you type in alsamixer you get a window in your terminal.
[15:53] <Guest22781> how to save my net cinfiguration
[15:53] <Keiffer> do you know if one can install/run Adobe Photoshop and Corel apps on linux?
[15:53] <chucky> SingAlong, no differently its just 20gb ram on d hard disk..
[15:53] <dtownhero> SingAlong, She likes gnome - yeah, you're right... I did not try it from term... one sec
[15:53] <duffydack> think I might update my ffmpeg ....
[15:53] <Guest22781> how to save my net configuration
[15:53] <shane2peru> duffydack: looks like that is my only option atm, thanks.
[15:53] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: ugh, that would be such a slow install, though.... I happen to be installing to EEPROM. :(
[15:54] <dtownhero> SingAlong, and for what its worth KDE4 is BLEH!
[15:54] <SingAlong> dtownhero: over there just go to the next few sliders... not the first slider. the next few sliders. increase them and it'll work fine.
[15:54] <iceroot> Guest22781: you mean your network-configuration?
[15:54] <espenel> yo
[15:54] <SingAlong> dtownhero: why? you like kde4?
[15:54] <Guest22781> when rebooting,it will lost
[15:54] <chucky> SingAlong, so im still skeptical...i think it slightly hangs ..very slightly..
[15:54] <espenel> confidential
[15:54] <shane2peru> duffydack: I followed FakeOutdoorsmans guide on the forums, I'll get you the link if you like
[15:54] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: EEPROM?  So, an embedded install, then?
[15:54] <SingAlong> chucky: what do you mean?
[15:54] <hackerkid1031> i found out to disable the annoying messages in xchat irc about someone joining/leaving that you type "/*SET irc_conf_mode 1 "Replace * with nothing aka no space
[15:54] <ic56> I want to run two instances of evince (PDF viewer) on the same document.  I use CLI.  When I try to start the 2nd instance, I get "Attempt to register the same DBusConnection with the message bus, but it is already registered".  How do I work around this?
[15:54] <Guest22781> i use ifconfig to do that
[15:54] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: more or less, a USB key
[15:55] <shane2peru> duffydack: here is the guide I used, pretty decent. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031:  so you read the docs? :)
[15:55] <chucky> SingAlong, my xfce 4 hangs is what im sayin,...n how do i switch between desktop environments i have no clue..
[15:55] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Oh, ok.  Well, that might go faster than you think, then.
[15:55] <dtownhero> SingAlong, That worked, TYVM
[15:55] <Guest22781> SOS
[15:55] <chucky> SingAlong, size considerations also matter
[15:55] <SingAlong> dtownhero: you need to do alsamixer from term. the volume applet in gnome, uses the max volume as the volume you set in alsamixer. :) so you need to go to alsamixer to get your sound right.
[15:55] <mikinanuq> Enissay: there's some moduse utility but it looks like it's not in the repos.
[15:55] <Halitech> chucky, log out and at the log in screen, click on sessions and select lxde
[15:55] <SingAlong> dtownhero: np. you are welcome :)
[15:55] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: know of a quick way to check the transfer rate and/or the USB connection type? (usb 1.0 vs. 2.0)
[15:55] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ( I don't recall USB installs taking a long time. ) -- I haven't done it myself, though.
[15:55] <hackerkid1031> no
[15:55] <dtownhero> SingAlong, yep, all fixed.. appreciate it very much. I'd send cookies but I don't know your address! :p
[15:56] <kaffien> how do i make a ubuntu server sync time with a time server?
[15:56] <hackerkid1031> i googled it it took about 4 times
[15:56] <hackerkid1031> ...
[15:56] <jrib> ic56: have you tried evinte --help?
[15:56] <execute> anyone knows any software like "the all seeing eye" that runs on linux ?
[15:56] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I tried to install last weekend, it took over 60 hours total
[15:56] <SingAlong> chucky: what size? the lxde pkg is very small :)
[15:56] <kaffien> i don't want it to BE a time server i just want it to sync with one
[15:56] <dtownhero> SingAlong, no, I don't like KDE4 - the old KDE was OK but 4 is like bloat central
[15:56] <newabz> quit
[15:56] <jrib> ic56: without the typo of course :)
[15:56] <jtheuer> Hi, I'm looking for a platform independant storage provider (sync, backup, multiple users, ...) ubuntuone is ubuntu only and sugarsync for example only supports win/mac. Any recommendations?
[15:56] <newabz> exit
[15:56] <dtownhero> even more bloated then gnome
[15:56] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Umm.. perhaps lspci.
[15:56] <duffydack> shane2peru, if you mean fakeoutdoorsman`s , yeah.....    have a look http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2009-March/019397.html
[15:56] <newabz> logout
[15:56] <newabz> Quit
[15:56] <hackerkid1031> ok so how do i install ANY version of LINUX from the internet using a live cd? (NOT installing off the LIVE CD as its CORRUPTED!)
[15:56] <newabz> Exit
[15:56] <jrib> newabz: /quit
[15:56] <newabz> thanks
[15:56] <SingAlong> dtownhero: ya. agree. i use lxde on my netbook coz i use heavy dev tools like eclipse.
[15:56] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I'm just not sure which ports are running at 2.0 speeds
[15:56] <iceroot> newabz: /quit
[15:56] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: Last I heard, there was an issue with the swapping on a USB drive.  It tended to burn out USB drives.
[15:56] <SingAlong> dtownhero: i liked the older kde. the new one is very glossy.
[15:57] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, I don't think you can
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031:  i recall some guides for doing it.. but never done so.. it involves a lot of command line work.
[15:57] <ic56> jrib: I read the manpage.  Thank you for suggesting --help
[15:57] <ic56>  let me take a look.
[15:57] <fastputty> what is the option with Make command to use multiple thread? i forget
[15:57] <SingAlong> dtownhero: my desktop comp (3gb ram) runs gnome. i'm satisfied with it. so i dont change it :)
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> hackerkid1031:  may be easier to just go get a new cd/download the iso and put it on flash
[15:57] <duffydack> shane2peru, something about vhook.... never touched it myself...
[15:57] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: it's a bit less of a concern these days, but I am using a custom partition scheme that doesn't use a swap
[15:57] <fastputty> nvm foundi t
[15:57] <dtownhero> SingAlong, they always said they wanted to be lighter then gnome but I think they lost that mission statement somewhere :p
[15:57] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: That may have been why it took so long then.
[15:57] <hackerkid1031> do you remember the website? i have 2 comps the one im on now(laptop) and the one thats not working (desktop)
[15:58] <dtownhero> Again much appreciated sir, have a wonderful day! ;-)
[15:58] <shane2peru> duffydack: you got the google fu today!  hmm, seems to be going out!  vhook is used to watermark you video.
[15:58] <llutz> hackerkid1031: try boot.kernel.org
[15:58] <speedhunt3r> hi, I am trying to enable effects back after falling back to my onboard card, how do I make X recheck for drivers? right now its using failsafe
[15:58] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: ... but I don't really know; Like I said, I haven't tried to do this.
[15:58] <shane2peru> duffydack: odd, for once seems I need an older version, not the newer. lol :)
[15:58] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: mayhap, but I'd think that would only apply when I actually booted that system - the installer SHOULD use a ramdisk with my actual RAM... right?
[15:58] <jrib> ic56: hmm I thought sm-client-disable would be enough, but doesn't seem so...
[15:58] <SingAlong> dtownhero: :D
[15:58] <hackerkid1031> i dont have a cd burner it broke * by broke i mean i have a little bro who stuck playdough in it i h8 kids!
[15:58] <hackerkid1031> THANKS YOU LLUTZ
[15:58] <SingAlong> dtownhero: after using lxde even xfce seems bloated now :D
[15:58] <jrib> ic56: you know you can do it from the gui with file > "open a copy"?
[15:59] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I would think so, yeah.
[15:59] <crescendo> lol, xfce bloated.
[15:59] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, which graphics card
[15:59] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, do you have a usb thumb drive and will the system boot from usb?
[15:59] <dtownhero> SingAlong, have you tried enlightenment?
[15:59] <speedhunt3r> thiebaude, ati radeon 1250
[15:59] <SingAlong> dtownhero: well i'm planning to switch to stump in a couple of days. so i dont know how I would curse lxde after that :P
[15:59] <dtownhero> or w/e it is called
[15:59] <SingAlong> dtownhero: nope!
[15:59] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I trust that you looked up installing Ubuntu on a USB?  I think I saw a link off of the ubuntu site, somewhere.
[15:59] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: hrm. Well, maybe its time to re-engineer my approach...
[15:59] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: yes, of course.
[15:59] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, i dont know ati, just nvidia, sorry
[15:59] <Halitech> crescendo, xfce isn't bloated, xubuntu is bloated with everything they add to make it "easier"
[15:59] <ic56> jrib: I did not know about the GUI.  Let me try.
[16:00] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I knew a guy that was into doing this.
[16:00] <hackerkid1031> no the system wont boot from usb i tried and tryed with Unetbootin
[16:00] <chucky> SingAlong, so doesnt make any difference to my computer..just d GUI.. and i use ot from the log in screen right..?
[16:00] <speedhunt3r> thiebaude, ty amyway
[16:00] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: I don't know of a way to use the GUI installer to build a LUKS-encrypted disk, though.
[16:00] <thiebaude> speedhunt3r, np
[16:00] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I don't think you can.
[16:00] <SingAlong> dtownhero: well i have lots of space here on my netbook. so i install window mgrs and just leave it as options and use the one i like as default. i right now have xfce, lxde and gnome on my netbook. but i screwed up my gnome while trying to remove the Ubuntu netbook remix app. so i never used gnome again
[16:00] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, do you have another system? you could try a PXE boot install
[16:00] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: FVWM-Crystal = awsome, used it for the longest time until my system died.
[16:01] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: is it modern enough like lxde atleast?
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> The Motherboard (EA81510A) is legacy so no it doesnt support usb boot in bios (newest ver ) P09
[16:01] <crescendo> cognitiaclaeves: maybe I could check the #lvm channel?  A lot of the tutorials point to LVM, but I know very little about it. :[
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> yeah
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> whats Pxe/
[16:01] <hackerkid1031> ?
[16:01] <SingAlong> chucky: it'll just use some space :P
[16:01] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: hang on a sec...
[16:01] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FVWM-Crystal
[16:02] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
[16:02] <dual> Can somebody help me with grep? http://dpaste.org/trdY/
[16:03] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: whats the minimum ram i need for it?
[16:03] <hackerkid1031> i dont have any windows machines...
[16:03] <hackerkid1031> but ill look
[16:03] <hackerkid1031> at the site
[16:03] <jrib> dual: use the quotes
[16:03] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: i have 1gb ram on my netbook but i need something that takes up less space coz my dev tools are heavy
[16:03] <ic56> jrib: I am using an old Ubuntu (5.10).  Could you be more specific about "file> open a copy"?  I started File Browser, which I guess is a copy of Nautilus.  Navigated to the file I want to view, right clicked on the file, I don't see "open a copy".  Am I looking in the right place?
[16:03] <engla> So who here maintains planet.ubuntu.com? Can we please turn off the drop shadows, titles are impossible to read
[16:04] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: B/w it looks good :)
[16:04] <fastputty> is there a way to limit a process to not run over 30% of cpu ?
[16:04] <hackerkid1031> crap it requires a Windows computer
[16:04] <cognitiaclaeves> crescendo: I pm'ed you.  Did you get it?
[16:04] <Halitech> hackerkid1031, ok, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
[16:04] <dual> jrib, could you give me an example. I haven't used grep a lot
[16:04] <chucky> Halitech, opera seems nice
[16:04] <hackerkid1031> kk 1 sec
[16:04] <chucky> Halitech, neat n fast too..
[16:04] <jrib> ic56: that's too old (you should upgrade since you aren't getting security updates).  In the file menu, after you open the document once, newer versions of evince allow you to "open a copy"
[16:04] <hackerkid1031> THanks btw
[16:04] <dtownhero> SingAlong, what type of netbook is that? I don't think I could use one because of the tinyness... I'm like 6'5" 200 lbs with big hands (basketball player)
[16:04] <Halitech> chucky, hopefully it will do what you need
[16:04] <chucky> SingAlong, technically light weight on DEsktop environments=..?what?
[16:05] <llutz> hackerkid1031: tried debootstrap?
[16:05] <SingAlong> dtownhero: acer aspire one 150
[16:05] <stefg> !breezy | ic56
[16:05] <SingAlong> chucky: not much of gloss :)
[16:05] <jrib> dual: hold on, let me try...
[16:05] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: to be honest I have not used LXDE so I can't compare fvwm-crystal vs lxde  but I will say if you look up fvwm you will see it is one of the lightest out there. with the crystal theme it's great.
[16:05] <SingAlong> chucky: exactly what you need :)
[16:05] <dual> jrib: Thanks :)
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> !info flwm
[16:05] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: ya just read abt FVWM-Crystal. its meant for speed it seems.
[16:06] <thiebaude> !info openbox
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> Roll your own.. pick a wm.. pick a file manager.. away you go. :)
[16:06] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: i'm not a pro at linux. i just do a lot of web dev and my editor is emacs. so anything i should beware of to install FVWM-Crystal?
[16:06] <jrib> dual: the title can have "?
[16:06] <ic56> jrib: I am aware that 5.10 is out of service.  Thank you for clarifying what you meant about evince.  I see now that the option is not available in this version. :-(
[16:06] <thiebaude> Dr_Willis, there are ton of them
[16:06] <jrib> erm, dual : the title can have ':'?
[16:06] <chucky> SingAlong, roger ill search on the synaptic P manager
[16:06] <hackerkid1031> HALITECH THANK YOU! EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!!!  TYTYTYTYTYTY!!!!
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> jwm+rox filer. Is haney
[16:06]  * hackerkid1031 is away: Brb Hacking Your Computer
[16:07] <jrib> ic56: you know you can upgrade to dapper (6.06) which is LTS?
[16:07] <dual> jrib, yes, but if that's not possible to make a "filter" for, it's ok
[16:07] <jrib> !upgrade > ic56
[16:07] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: how does it fair on a 10 inch netbook screen? i dont need too many panels filling up my screen
[16:07] <dual> jrib, most times there's no :
[16:07] <Creepzor_> is their a grub gui?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> it will proberly take longer to do a debootstrap install.. then it will to dowload a new cd. :)
[16:07] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: you may need to do some work on the command line to get it setup.
[16:07] <jrib> dual: something like: grep -o '"[^\"]*' | head -n 1
[16:08] <stefg> jrib: but even Dapper is EOL on the desktop now ....
[16:08] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: the pkg mgr says FVWM-Crystal is available. so do i still have to do some work?
[16:08] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: for example I think you may need to setup network manager applet to start when you log in
[16:08] <ic56> jrib: thank you but my reason for being on 5.10 is not naivete.
[16:08] <jrib> stefg: that's true...
[16:08] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh thats fine. i had to do that with lxde too. :)
[16:09] <dual> jrib: I found a solution with sed http://dpaste.org/8xme/ (grawity in #linux helped me). But thanks for helping me
[16:09] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: the nm-applet thing right. ya ya. :)
[16:09] <scruffy5776785> check out these fugly lesbians from myspace http://uglydykes.hostzi.com
[16:09] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: Yeah, you can start with whatever is in the repo and it's not too bad to update to the latest if you want
[16:09] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: update? you mean build by source?
[16:09] <scruffy5776785> check out these ugly lesbians http://uglydykes.hostzi.com
[16:10] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh no. i dont want to build a desktop mgr by source. I havent tried that yet.
[16:10] <mikinanuq> mikinanuq: It's usually a good idea to do it throug apt-get and then update it manuall if you want that way the depends all get put in
[16:10] <sipior> scruffy5776785: go away.
[16:10] <carresmd> scruffy5776785: lol
[16:10] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: no, just copy files over
[16:10] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: stuff like that
[16:10] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh thats fine.
[16:11] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: oh my its only 12mb,
[16:11] <Fednux> hello
[16:11] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: :D
[16:11] <Creepzor_> is their a grub gui?
[16:11] <Fednux> Tomorrow is China's National Day ,Parade is a very spectacular,It will begin at 10:00 am beijing, I hope you do not miss.
[16:11] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: also, I just thought of a captcha
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> Creepzor_:  teres a kde grub config tool.. but ive rarely used it.,
[16:11] <thiebaude> !offtopic | Fednux
[16:11] <Creepzor_> name?
[16:11] <coffeej> i now have 2 displays set up, how do I switch between them
[16:12] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: if you mess around with the themes, there is one that you loose the menu so you can't go back with the little diamond menu to your previous theme
[16:12] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: you have to right click on the desktop or click on the desktop for the menu
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  using 2 monitors as seperate X displays?
[16:12] <ubuntu> if a program doesnt respond under ubuntu, how do i kill it? (windows ctrl-alt-delete equivalent)
[16:12] <chucky> SingAlong, does it have 2 workstations too?
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  if so try alt-ctrl-f7 and alt-ctrl-f8
[16:12] <Halitech> !dontzap
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  use the 'xkill' command is one way
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> !kill
[16:13] <Halitech> ubuntu, killall -9 <package name>
[16:13] <ubuntu> it's the terminal
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  sure you just dont need a ctrl-c ? :)
[16:13] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: what I'm talking about is the layout of the manels have themes.. I think I used laptop-top  or something like that
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> open a 2nd terminal. use xkill, click on first...
[16:13] <sczgilae> hello. im doing an script that give to the user a possibility to mount an network directory.   http://pastebin.com/d69c81afe          but a normal user has not permission to mount
[16:13] <crescendo> Is there a place I can see the reasons for package inclusion decisions in each release of Ubuntu?  For example, I'd like to see why xchat-gnome was chosen over xchat
[16:13] <foey> Can anyone help me with setting up Samba shares using the console. I'm using Ubuntu Server.
[16:14] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: puts all of your bars across the top and nothing else
[16:14] <sczgilae> i want to put the script on the Desktop and when they click i want that they could write a username and password
[16:14] <stefg> !samba | foey
[16:14] <ubuntu> Dr_Willis, i'm not sure.. pressing ctrl-c doesnt do anything
[16:14] <stefg> !ebox | foey
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu:  depends on how/what its hung i guess.. You can kill most anything with xkill
[16:15] <coffeej> Dr_willis: yes, but instead of keeping the 2 separate, it has both x's but spread the desktop across the 2 instead of separating
[16:15] <Halitech> ubuntu, Dr_Willis just make sure you don't click on a panel or the desktop :O
[16:15] <foey> stefg : I'm not using Gnome, I'm using SSH to access and setup the server.
[16:15] <stefg> foey: so is the main purpose of the server being a file server in a windows environmet?
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  you mean you can mouse over to the 2nd one?  I only use twinview for my nvidia cards.. i have both monitors working a single WIDE desktop
[16:15] <foey> stefg : indeed, as well as a web server e.t.c.
[16:16] <stefg> foey: take a look at ebox ...
[16:16] <stefg> foey: less headache
[16:16] <foey> stefg : can I use ebox via the terminal?
[16:16] <coffeej> Dr_Willis:  yeah, what i wanted was 2 separate displays...
[16:16] <Halitech> foey, ebox gives you a gui that you can load in a web browser to do your configurations
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  and your video cards are?
[16:17] <stefg> foey: you connect to it with a browser. the server runs headless /X less, but you get a webgui
[16:17] <foey> Halitech, Stefg : Ah, great. Thats exactly what I need. Thanks :-)
[16:17] <jrib> foey: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html (which ubottu linked to)
[16:17] <foey> :~$ sudo smbd

[16:17] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[16:17] <coffeej> nvidia... something or other:-/
[16:18] <foey> https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.htmlhttps://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  i use the nvidia-settings tool to enable/disable/tweak twinview or whatever you want.. run it as root.. and RESTART the X server afterwards... (log out to gdm, and restart gdm)
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  ive never seen much need for 2 seperate X displays. I perfer the 'twinview' Wide desktop mode.
[16:19] <thiebaude> coffeej, gksudo nvidia-settings
[16:20] <coffeej> Dr_Willis: that's how i tried to config separate x, and it just seemed to give me twinview
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> coffeej:  restart the X server after trying those settings for them to work properly.. run the settings tool as root.. save changes to the xorg.conf (and restart x)
[16:20] <syk> anyone have a link to dual boot ubuntu and windows 7(ubuntu installed first)

[16:22] <Baba_B00ie> whats a good iso editor for ubuntu, something similar to UltraISO on the windows platform
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> Baba_B00ie:  depends on what you want to do with the iso.
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> !info kiso
[16:23] <eni23> i'm back anain. after a reboot still the same: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use.
[16:23] <mayajowo> tete
[16:23] <Baba_B00ie> Dr_Willis, i want to modify a bootable cd. i want to add/update the virus patterns. i use a bartPE based disc.
[16:23] <sabine_> Hi, my printer (Epson D68) does not print the parts with 100% black on the test page and thus no (black) text - the fields with 10-90% black are printed correctly
[16:24] <mayajowo> hlpme to install coreldraw
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> Baba_B00ie:  you are modifying a windows cd?
[16:24] <llutz> mayajowo: /j ##windows
[16:25] <genii> mayajowo: Why not instead install SK1 which can use .cdr   and vector graphics?
[16:25] <mayajowo> hemm
[16:25] <eni23> and i cant' play anythin on snd_hda_intel anymore (since yesterday???), it only plays cracking noise
[16:25] <eni23> but the rme hammerfall still works
[16:25] <stefg> sabine_: check that the black ink cartridge isn't empty, and that it is correctly snapped in the socket and that the jets are clean. I know that the D68 works (my gf has one) so it's probably mechanical
[16:26] <eni23> how i can told all programms to use the hammerfall?
[16:26] <eni23> (like firefox and vmware)
[16:26] <sabine_> stefg: well, but the part with 90% black is printed just fine, 100% black however ist just blank
[16:26] <tuser> looking for info to merge 2 apt caches...
[16:26] <Jamolski> i need to apply an old patch to the latest kernel release
[16:26] <Jamolski> is someone know how to do this
[16:26] <Jamolski> http://people.debian.org/~tbm/dma/dma-patch
[16:27] <stefg> sabine_: 90% black is still a lot of C, M. and Y .... you won't notice the K missing
[16:28] <sabine_> stefg: I thought the point of the test page was to print sheer colors?
[16:28] <john_diss__> anyone know a tutorial covering rsync and or luckybackup with windows & smb shares?
[16:28] <mikinanuq> eni23: nothing changed? just stopped working?
[16:29] <eni23> but when i choose rme-hammerfall in audio-config nothing sounds in totem etc. im going CRAZY, why, it worked fine a few days ago!!
[16:29] <system404> hey guys on ubuntu jaunty im trying to enable visual effects but get error saying desktop effects could not be enabled been a while since ive used ubuntu but if i remember correctly i had to download something via synapptics could someone jog my memory please
[16:29] <eni23> mikinanuq: no nothing changed
[16:29] <stefg> sabine_: i'm talking of CMYK colors ... cyan magenta yellow and Kontrast (black). your black cartridge doesn't work, and the 90% is just a lot of the other colors
[16:29] <eni23> last update i did 2weeks ago
[16:29] <Feldegast> john_diss__ i came across a windows rsync package using cygwin
[16:29] <mayajowo> why?+
[16:30] <sabine_> stefg: I have configured RGB colors in the printing dialigue
[16:30] <john_diss__> Feldegast I am trying to backup shares from an ubuntu box
[16:30] <eni23> mikinanuq: the only  thing i did as root in the last time was change the ssh-port, but that's a complete different thing
[16:30] <soUPERMan> how do you check for updates in command with jaunty?
[16:30] <IdleOne> sudo apt-get update
[16:30] <shane2peru> can I have two versions of ffmpeg installed on my system?
[16:30] <Halitech> soUPERMan, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:31] <system404> hey guys on ubuntu jaunty im trying to enable visual effects but get error saying desktop effects could not be enabled been a while since ive used ubuntu but if i remember correctly i had to download something via synapptics could someone jog my memory please
[16:31] <mikinanuq> eni23: I think you may be able to explicitly tell the system to not load the hda intel module...
[16:31] <sabine_> stefg: mtink reads that there is 69% ink in the black cartige
[16:31] <Halitech> system404, have you installed the video card drivers?
[16:31] <stefg> sabine_: still a 4 colour printer physically uses CMYK ... it's just processing. your black cartridge doesn't work
[16:31] <soUPERMan> well....i tried sudo aptitude safe-upgrade after sudo aptitude update, is it correct Halitech
[16:31] <eni23> here some infos about my sound-system: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=aec20604ca191065d1397344fc0b66e3fe921d13
[16:31] <system404> i think they got installed during instalation
[16:31] <mikinanuq> eni23: never tried it but may be in the /etc/modules  config. it could be that there's a conflict between the cards
[16:31] <Feldegast> john_diss__ have a look at http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp
[16:31] <system404> intel 945 chipset
[16:31] <IdleOne> soUPERMan: yes that is fine
[16:31] <Halitech> soUPERMan, that should work as well
[16:32] <soUPERMan> thanks
[16:32] <john_diss__> Feldegast thx
[16:32] <Halitech> !intel | system404
[16:32] <eni23> mikinanuq: but why just from one day to another?
[16:32] <system404> cool ill check out that link thanks man
[16:33] <stefg> sabine_: take the black out, clean it and put it back .... and if the cartridge is old it might hve dried out, even i mtink or the printer thinks that there's still ink in it. your black cartridge doesn't work
[16:33] <defdef> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 in vmware server, and while it is pulling correct DHCP/DNS info from our domain controller, I cannot ping google or browse the web. Any ideas?
[16:33] <crescendo> I'd like to install a bootable OS to a LUKS-encrypted partition, and leave some space for a FAT32 windows-mountable (unencrypted) partition.  Where do I start?
[16:33] <mayajowo> hem
[16:33] <Baba_B00ie> Dr_Willis, it's a bartpe cd.. boots up in a pe enviorment. and with the disc i run scans for file system and virus's and many other goodies. but i just want to inject this disc with the newest antivirus patterns so i don't have to download them or use a usb key everytime. trying to keep disc updated
[16:33] <eni23> mikinanuq: the problem is, that rme is a special hardware. sometimes its better to play sound on the intel
[16:33] <soUPERMan> does anyone use slax linux?? sorry i know it's not the place but i kinda need help
[16:33] <Prune> If I have an open application, can I add it to a favorite somewhere, or make an alias?
[16:33] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[16:34] <mikinanuq> eni23: true that's strange... may be an IRQ issue somewhere.
[16:34] <mayajowo> what sk1
[16:34] <mattwj2002> I need help finding a print server that'll work with ubuntu....you know a device that take a usb printer and gives it ethernet capability
[16:34] <lizzzy> So when I ftp to a remote computer (home computer, where I have 2 OS's installed - XP + Vista). It connects to vista and not XP, although I have XP up and running now.
[16:35] <Baba_B00ie> Dr_Willis, basically i need a program for linux that's similar to UltraISO for the windows platform.
[16:35] <sabine_> stefg: it's a new cartige, there is even black on the internal jet test pattern
[16:35] <fferret> I'm having what appears to be a stack overflow issue with Imagewriter and Python
[16:35] <mattwj2002> !printserver
[16:35] <paolino> hello, anyone can point me to the guide to set up my box as router ?  it's a desktop installation
[16:35] <john_diss__> Feldegast unfortunately that seems to run on the win box.. I am trying to backup windows shares and smb shares remotely from rsync on ubuntu. LuckyBackup never identifies my shares as being valid any ideas?
[16:36] <Feldegast> that connects to the rsync service on the remote box
[16:36] <mayajowo> helpme install coreldraw
[16:36] <eni23> mikinanuq: when you say it: the irq of the intel hda is every time different. i think that's not normal?
[16:36] <llutz> mayajowo: /j ##windows
[16:36] <Halitech> mayajowo, are you trying to install using wine or in windows or what?
[16:37] <john_diss__> Feldegast - got it cheers
[16:37] <mattwj2002> anyone have any ideas?
[16:37] <Feldegast> john_diss__ if you need the files to be backed up on a 2nd remote share, you will probably need to set up rsync between the 2 remote systems
[16:37] <mayajowo> halitech? wine yes
[16:37] <mikinanuq> eni23: well, IRQ problemss do happen but not very often I would think. The kernel might be trying to assign IRQ's differently than what the BIOS had and creates problems
[16:37] <Baba_B00ie> heh, didn't even know that coreldraw was still in development. haven't heard a thing about it in years
[16:37] <Halitech> mayajowo, you may want to check in #wine
[16:38] <mayajowo> error in wine halitech why
[16:38] <fferret> When I sudo ImageWriter, I get this:
[16:38] <fferret> mgthompson@nala:~$ sudo imagewriter

[16:38] <mikinanuq> eni23: you can try disabling the hammerf BIOS and see if the intel works fine then you can know for sure if there is some sort of IRQ conflict
[16:39] <Halitech> mayajowo, no idea as you didn't give an error message
[16:39] <stefg> sabine_: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_D68 might get you further. I have a positive proof that the D68 just works out of the box on hardy, and there must have been some real stupid regression if it does not on later versions
[16:39] <eni23> mikinanuq: the hammerfall is a pcmcia card and a device, i cannot set anything in the bios for it. but unplugit ;)
[16:40] <mayajowo> no open halitech wine notsupprot
[16:40] <mattwj2002> print servers anyone?
[16:40] <mattwj2002> :-s
[16:40] <Halitech> mayajowo, huh?
[16:40] <eni23> mikinanuq: i got windows on the machine too. i will boot into it and try if the intel is workin there.
[16:40] <t0s> im installing ubuntu do im making a 3gb swap area, i select logical for this correct?
[16:40] <mattwj2002> !ignored
[16:40] <fferret> mattwj2002:  Using CUPS?
[16:40] <paolino> anyone with net knowledge can tell me if setting up a bridge is the way to go to make my ubuntu box a router ?
[16:40] <Halitech> t0s, no, select it as a swap
[16:40] <llutz> t0s: doesn't matter
[16:40] <mayajowo> what halitech
[16:41] <mattwj2002> ummm
[16:41] <mattwj2002> I am not sure
[16:41] <gain_> hell
[16:41] <gain_> o
[16:41] <stefg> mattwj2002: most print servers anyway use an embedded linux, so you usually can use them...
[16:41] <Halitech> mayajowo, what do you mean wine not supported?
[16:41] <mikinanuq> eni23: looks like hammerfall is on 16 and intel is on 16 :( from that dump you sent
[16:41] <NEWbuntu49589023> Hello everyone, I an somewhat new to Ubuntu.. and I have a question..
[16:41] <mattwj2002> I am just looking to buy a print server
[16:41] <t0s> ok, and the same with when i make a partition for / and /home? doesnt matter on those either?
[16:41] <llutz> t0s: doesn't matter
[16:41] <mattwj2002> I need to know which one would be compatible
[16:41] <t0s> lol k
[16:41] <fferret> mattwj2002 Oh, I thought you wanted to set one up.
[16:41] <mikinanuq> eni23: so that's probably not it but worth a shot if you want to just do it for kicks and remove it to see if the intel works fine without the hammerfall in the system
[16:42] <mattwj2002> the one I want isn't
[16:42] <mattwj2002> "_
[16:42] <mattwj2002> :)
[16:42] <sabine_> stefg: ok, you were right, it works after cleanting the inkjets

[16:50] <User789> I have an older computer that has a AMD 3000+ 64bit process or with 1 gig of ram, using an AGP 6800 GT.. when I install Ubuntu 9.04 it goes smooth, when finished I wanted to turn on the graphical stuff, but get prompted to install Nvidia drivers... ok I do that... when the computer restarts it no longer uses the VGA port but wants to use the DVI port.. well my DVI port is bad on this one... how can I switch it????
[16:50] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: now that you mention it, I did play around with the menu
[16:50] <defdef> @ Mecha- no, not yet. @user2- I am not sure what you mean by "checking" that. Is that a config file that is located somewhere? Log file?
[16:51] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: what happened?
[16:51] <stefg> defdef: so is it set to bridged or host network ?
[16:51] <user2> @defdef: yes, it defines your domain and dns servers. just open it in an editor and look for your nameserver. if its not defined there, you found your problem.
[16:51] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: highly configurable. you add a little text file in your  .fvwm-crystal/Apps/etc...
[16:51] <llutz> User789: look at nvidia xorg.driver options, "ConnectedMonitor" or "UseDisplayDevice"
[16:51] <espenel> hello
[16:51] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: also where do i set that laptop-top thing?
[16:51] <Halitech> User789, have you checked in nvidia-settings?
[16:51] <User789> ok
[16:51] <User789> ya checked the settings
[16:51] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: you can add just what you need or there is a tool that will create the menu for you
[16:52] <User789> some how it won't let me switch back to the VGA
[16:52] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: menumake or makemenu something like that
[16:52] <defdef> @stefg- bridged. @user2- Alright I will check that, thank you. Be right back.
[16:52] <Halitech> User789, did you run it with gksudo?
[16:52] <User789> the DVI is bad its all red... I can use it if I turn the Red channel down... does that matter....
[16:52] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: the laptop theme is somewhere in that crystal menu
[16:53] <User789> Halitech.... Get app
[16:53] <User789> well actually the first time it poped up as unrestricted driver
[16:53] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: just click on the different ones and reload crystal when it asks you.
[16:53] <User789> or something
[16:53] <t0s> how many partitions are the you allowed to create?
[16:53] <t0s> -the
[16:53] <whileimhere> hi. I have several .vsd files from visio. Is there a way to look at them and edit them in linux?
[16:53] <Halitech> User789, you need to run gksudo nvidia-setting, log out and then restart X
[16:53] <ubuntu_> hi
[16:53] <SingAlong> both menumake and makemenu return errors
[16:53] <User789> ok
[16:53] <ubuntu_> hello
[16:54] <fferret> whileimhere:  Only if you install Visio using Wine or Crossover.
[16:54] <llutz> t0s: max 4 primary or 11/27 via libscsi
[16:54] <whileimhere> fferret: is there no way to get them converted?
[16:54] <llutz> t0s: >4 are logical drives in extended partition
[16:54] <Halitech> User789, or try gksudo nvidia-config .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691193
[16:54] <soc> hi
[16:55] <soc> are there any problems with the ubuntu keyserver?
[16:55] <stefg> User789: the proprietary nvidia driver brings its own configuration tool (nvidia-settings). But i haven't found an opton in it to select dvi or vga on it. my understanding is that this is some sort of auto-detection on the card itself, and that might be broken, too, along with the dvi output
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> whileimhere: you may get a visio viewer to run in wine
[16:55] <soc> somehow keyserver.ubuntu.com doesn't load here
[16:55] <arand> soc: I t was down before might dtill be
[16:55] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: check out this howto, it's informative. I remember I installed it from here when I did it. I'll look to see if there's something on the menu.  http://polishlinux.org/apps/fvwm-crystal-speed-and-transparency/
[16:55] <fferret> whileimhere:  Stand by one moment...
[16:55] <arand> soc: you could try another keyserver.
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> whileimhere: could try dia, openoffice.org draw or kivio
[16:56] <whileimhere> okay
[16:56] <whileimhere> I will do that first
[16:56] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: thanks!
[16:57] <defdef> Alright I checked resolv.conf and it told me the same thing that ifconfig did- that I have the correct DNS server. To test DNS as an issue though I tried browsing some sites by IP alone, still no response. I think the problem is with VMWARE somehow but I don't know where. Bridged mode is correct, right?
[16:58] <nimrod|king> defdef: I always use nat, not bridged
[16:58] <user2> @defdef: Bridget means that your VM is connected directly to your network.
[16:58] <user2> @defef: try nat.
[16:59] <The_Dead_91> hi all
[16:59] <nimrod|king> !hi | The_Dead_91
[17:00] <eni23> mikinanuq: just back from windows- intel does not work ;(
[17:00] <fferret> whileiamhere: There seem to be several converters at Freshmeat that convert Visio to FOSS formats, so I stand corrected.
[17:00] <eni23> i think its something with the mainboard
[17:00] <The_Dead_91> i want to pose you a question
[17:00] <The_Dead_91> (if i can, sincerly :) )
[17:00] <nimrod|king> !ask | The_Dead_91
[17:01] <fferret> I'm having what appears to be a stack overflow issue with Imagewriter and Python
[17:01] <fferret> When I sudo ImageWriter, I get this:
[17:01] <mikinanuq> eni23: oh, well at least you're moving along :)
[17:01] <fferret> http://paste.ubuntu.com/282261/
[17:01] <stefg> defdef: yes, bridged mode means that it shares the physical interface with the host-machine, not the host machine acting as a router for the guests. so i'd head to #vmware (or is it ##vmware ? )
[17:02] <eni23> damn its a nearly fresh mainboard :(
[17:02] <The_Dead_91> Do you know any basic ide for ubuntu? (not for vb)
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> !ide
[17:03] <The_Dead_91> i'll kill that bot... XD
[17:03] <mikinanuq> eni23: may be able to return
[17:03] <mikinanuq> eni23: sure there's nothing in the BIOS or if you take out the hammerfall?
[17:04] <mayajowo> tetst
[17:04] <eni23> i take it out. bit it's the secound time i returned the mainboard
[17:04] <mayajowo> halitech
[17:05] <mayajowo> ham
[17:05] <MaloenBCN> Ok, i have an IBM T30 with xubuntu, can i have some useful info on graphic/audio drivers, i checked all the nets.
[17:05] <eni23> mikinanuq: the mb was faulty a few months ago, then i returned it
[17:05] <eni23> and get a new but the same
[17:05] <MaloenBCN> And hi everybody.
[17:05] <llutz> MaloenBCN: take a look at thinwiki
[17:05] <llutz> thinkwiki, sry
[17:05] <stefg> MaloenBCN: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_(Hardy_Heron)_on_a_ThinkPad_T30
[17:06] <microtech> MaloenBCN: that has a radeon 7500 in it
[17:06] <mayajowo> ?
[17:06] <MaloenBCN> ok the i should forget bout xubuntu then
[17:06] <microtech> MaloenBCN: nevermind, theres a faq then lol
[17:06] <_AaLinux> How can one know if it's 32 bit machine or 64 bit machine?
[17:06] <eni23> i'm not lucky. i always get monday-machines ;)
[17:06] <Maleko> where is ufw logs are stored in?
[17:06] <microtech> _AaLinux: you mean from within the os?>
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:06] <Maleko> UFW
[17:07] <MaloenBCN> yeah, thing is i wanted xubuntu there, but if hardy heron the only reasonable choice, then DL time
[17:07] <_AaLinux> microtech: Yes.
[17:07] <MaloenBCN> but cheers
[17:07] <tarun> _AaLinux: i believe uname -a
[17:07] <microtech> _AaLinux: uname -a   or  like action said  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: you can websearch the cpu model, uname -a    will tell you the arch of the linux
[17:08] <microtech> ya uname is faster
[17:08] <microtech> =)
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: i686 = 32bit  x86_64 = 64bit
[17:08] <mayajowo> the ui language invalid? why
[17:08] <mayajowo> help me
[17:08] <microtech> ok
[17:08] <odonata> if i have 2 powerconnectors and 3 drives, would it be possible to remove the systemdrive, plugin the 2 storage drives and copy files inbetween with an live cd?
[17:09] <zilla1> my machine is connected to the DSL modem through a router. I've got internet decently fine, but I can't connect to the modem's IP (<IP_ADDRESS>) to administer it. my LAN addresses are set to <IP_ADDRESS> - 192,168.2.51 Anyone got an idea as to what boneheaded thing i'm doing wrong
[17:09] <_AaLinux> ActionParsnip: cat /proc/cpuinfo , where is i686 or x86_64
[17:09] <stefg> odonata: if you still have a working CD drive an enough ram
[17:09] <llutz> odonata: sure
[17:09] <mayajowo> helpme coreldraw12 in wine language invalid
[17:10] <llutz> mayajowo: /j #wine
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: its not, those things are in the uname output, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name    will tell you the cpu make and model, you can websearch that
[17:10] <odonata> stefg: theers 4gb of ram, and the drive is IDE. is ntfs read only still?
[17:10] <llutz> mayajowo: /j #winehq, sry
[17:10] <mayajowo> yes lluts
[17:10] <stefg> odonata: no, ntfs-3g has write support now (although a bit slow)
[17:11] <mayajowo> yes llutsz
[17:11] <fortruth> join #ubuntu-cn
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> odonata: all drives are now ide
[17:11] <odonata> stefg: so 250gb would take some time i suppose?
[17:11] <stefg> odonata: and consider preparing a USB thumb drive .... still faster than a CD
[17:11] <nOStahl> hey guys i just tried to boot up my ubuntu laptop and it cant mount my hd  root partition and it fails to load    [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
[17:11] <nOStahl> any ideas?
[17:11] <_AaLinux> tarun: microtech: ActionParsnip: 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux    , Is it 32bit or 64 bit?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: you have a 32bit kernel so the OS is 32bit
[17:12] <microtech> 32bit _AaLinux
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: you can however run a 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU
[17:12] <odonata> ActionParsnip: SATA drives are ide drives?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> odonata: IDE = integrated drive electronics
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> odonata: SATA drives have this so are IDE
[17:13] <mayajowo> the ui language registrasi list is invalid coreldrawa12 in wine
[17:13] <tarun> _AlLinux: it is 32 bit
[17:13] <llutz> odonata: nope, they are all mapped through libata
[17:13] <_AaLinux> ActionParsnip: How would i know if it's 64bit CPU or not?
[17:13] <mayajowo> hem
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> odonata: old drives didnt have this (and so had no cache or S.M.A.R.T.) and relied solely on the controller
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> _AaLinux: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name   and websearch for the output
[17:13] <odonata> well
[17:13] <_AaLinux> odonata: IDE=Integrated Developement Environment
[17:13] <stanworld> oi,witch package contain the library GL for compiling projecct that require -lGL ?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> odonata: when people say IDE they usually mean PATA or parallel ata
[17:14] <odonata> ActionParsnip: that would mean the old big flat interface?
[17:14] <stefg> IDE like in integrated drive electronics
[17:14] <ascheel> Can someone tell me the feasibility of playing Blu-Ray discs in Ubuntu?  Not copying, not ripping, JUST playing?  Looking into a Blu-Ray drive for my Ubuntu PC, but need to know if it's feasible
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> odonata: yes
[17:15] <mayajowo> undur2
[17:15] <odonata> then the dvd drive is PATA :D and drives are SATA
[17:15] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
[17:15] <mayajowo> undur

[17:16] <quantum> port 465 has been opened in the ufw but port scanner says its still closed
[17:16] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: just finished going through this -> http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/01/03/howto-install-fvwm-crystal-304-on-edgy/
[17:16] <quantum> how can i open it?
[17:16] <odonata> ActionParsnip: so the scenario of moving data from one NTFS to another NTFS would be no problem with 9.10 livecd?
[17:16] <SingAlong> mikinanuq: just trying stumpwm now.
[17:16] <hey_joe> can anyone tell me why i can't remote desktop over my VPN?
[17:16] <mikinanuq> SingAlong: in case you feel adventurous and want to update your fvwm-crystal.. there is some compiling, I thought it was just a copy but it's not bad.
[17:16] <hey_joe> do i need to allow non local connections?
[17:16] <chucky> SingAlong, sorry was busy
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> odonata: its not a problem at all
[17:17] <SingAlong> chucky: np :)
[17:17] <ascheel> stefg: so it's not just a matter of popping the Blu-Ray into the drive and hitting play.  :(
[17:17] <mikinanuq> simulation: ah ok
[17:17] <hey_joe> it works fine at home, within the local network constraints, and i can ssh, ftp, etcc over the VPN, so why no remote desktop?
[17:17] <chucky> SingAlong, found 9 packages
[17:17] <SingAlong> chucky: done installing?
[17:17] <odonata> thank you then :D
[17:17] <chucky> except lxnm i install d rest right..?what next?
[17:17] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: ActionParsnip: How could you be sure if it's 32bit CPU from this? http://pastebin.com/m1ec414dc
[17:17] <chucky> SingAlong, except lxnm i install d rest right..?what next?
[17:17] <stefg> odonata: if you just want a 1:1 copy you can simply use the dd command. that'S quicker than going thru the filesystem, because it just copies sector by sector on low level
[17:18] <hey_joe> odonata: but dont forget to set bs=
[17:18] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[17:18] <SingAlong> chucky: just click and mark lxde and it should be fine :)
[17:18] <odonata> ehm
[17:18] <nOStahl> hey guys i just tried booting up my ubuntu laptop and it cant mount the hard drivee. tried booting up a live cd and it wont mount the hd either.
[17:18] <SingAlong> logout and go to session and select lxde. then go ahead
[17:18] <stefg> odonata: like sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4k
[17:18] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: yes, it's 64bit
[17:18] <odonata> stefg, hey_joe: the source drive is a 250gb and the destination drive is a 1000gb
[17:19] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: is there anything important on that HD?
[17:19] <nOStahl> mikinanuq yes
[17:19] <odonata> would that be a problem?
[17:19] <chucky> SingAlong, so only lxde thats it not d rest?
[17:19] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: How could you be sure?What was that information from there?
[17:19] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what does : sudo fdisk -l says?
[17:19] <Chun1> Hi - all of a sudden I'm without sound, in Jaunty - any advice? Everything is unmuted in volume control, and on full
[17:19] <nOStahl> when i mount it in the live cd ubuntu it says mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, mising codepage or helper program, or other error
[17:19] <SingAlong> chucky: yes. only lxde will do. but if it installs other pkgs go ahead. just dont install lxnm
[17:20] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: well it could be that the actual hardware broke or just the partition tables or your file system is hosed, any sudden power outage before this problem started?
[17:20] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, make sure nothing is set to lowest level
[17:20] <stefg> odonata: ah, ok. that won't work directly, you'll end up with a 250G partition on the 1TB drive. you could only expand it later with gparted, but i think that'S to unreliable on ntfs drives
[17:20] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: any clicking from the hd?
[17:20] <nOStahl> mikinanuq its ssd
[17:20] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what filesys do you have on that?
[17:20] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: I can tell from your model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D  CPU 2.66GHz
[17:20] <nOStahl> ext4
[17:20] <chucky> SingAlong, roger..
[17:21] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: yep, all on max
[17:21] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, then it should not be an issue, r u on jaunty
[17:21] <nOStahl> aye jaunty
[17:21] <nOStahl> so how do i fix this without loosing data
[17:22] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, oops ,,,then no idea , did you try rebooting your sys, btw?
[17:22] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: yep, coupla times
[17:23] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, what dmesg has to say regarding your hd ?
[17:23] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: How did you do that , searching?
[17:23] <carresmd> dual, did you 'fix' your problem with that string?
[17:23] <nimrod|king> _AaLinux: no searching, I just knew from experience.
[17:23] <_AaLinux> nimrod|king: Is there any way to tell from cat /proc/cpuinfo directly?
[17:23] <quantum> hi, i can send emails from the server, but can't receive them. using postfix + iptables. opened ports 110, 25, 143, 993, 995
[17:24] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, no response from google either?
[17:24] <grawity> quantum: Have you checked /var/log/mail.log? Have you tried connecting manually to the smtpd?
[17:24] <dual> carresmd, the grep question I had? Yes. A guy in #linux helped me. Do you want to see the command we ended up with?
[17:24] <nOStahl> http://www.pastie.org/636860
[17:24] <quantum> grawity, can telnet to port 25 and port 110
[17:24] <carresmd> dual, yeah.. I have been toying around with your problem as well and I did have a 'fix'
[17:24] <grawity> quantum: 110 is only for retrieving mail, it's unrelated.
[17:25] <dual> carresmd, 2 sec
[17:25] <Chun1> ^mNotIntelligent: currently looking, but all I really have to work with is 'jaunty no sound' and there are probably hundreds of possible causes
[17:25] <quantum> grawity, will look at mail.log again, but can't remember anything interesting
[17:25] <stefg> !sound | cun1
[17:25] <stefg> !sound | chun1
[17:25] <^mNotIntelligent> Chun1, i agree, but somehow we've to narrow it down,,,else it would be bit difficult to fix

[17:28] <Beardbar> I have a client running a website on ubuntu that has been infected with malware, I want to remove the iframe that was placed on every php and html file. does anyone know how I could do this via the command prompt?
[17:28] <jordanwb> ubottu: Yes I realise that. I've made a static xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 but Xorg still defaults to 800X600
[17:28] <joeyeye_> I'm having a delay issue with awn starting up tasks/programs - when I click nothing happens until I move off the icon - does not seem to be correct behavior.
[17:29] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, and you;re sure that disk is supported by your current OS?
[17:29] <nOStahl> been running ubuntu for years
[17:29] <grawity> Beardbar: What exactly was added? Just a single line?
[17:29] <Beardbar> yes a single line which is an iframe
[17:29] <nOStahl> just went to boot it uup this morning and it did this first time
[17:29] <grawity> Beardbar: Can you PM me the entire line? Or at least the beginning of it?
[17:30] <Beardbar> on every file of the site, which is about 35k plus files :( ya sure
[17:30] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, are you sure your disk is okey?
[17:30] <nOStahl> how do i check it
[17:30] <chucky> singalong,its done installin now what?
[17:30] <erUSUL> Beardbar: a little sed oneliner that removes the line and find would be able to do it ...
[17:30] <^mNotIntelligent> nOStahl, use badblocks or e2fsck etc ....just google on how to use it properly...be careful
[17:30] <steven__> hi
[17:31] <grawity> Beardbar: Try this. First choose a file, make a backup of it (with 'cp'), and use:  sed -i.old '/^<iframe/ d' file.html

[17:31] <^mNotIntelligent> !ask | steven__
[17:31]  * ^mNotIntelligent will be right back in 5 mins
[17:31] <grawity> Beardbar: I just told to create a backup because I'm not sure if that command works the way I think it does.
[17:31] <killazzz> hi somewone know where i can find information about protecting computer and detection instrusion prevention system ......?
[17:32] <chucky> erUSUL, just installed lxde from synaptic package manager,how 2 make it work?

[17:32] <gain_> hi all
[17:32] <adnan> hi guys
[17:32] <killazzz> hi somewone know where i can find information about protecting computer and detection instrusion prevention system ......?
[17:32] <gain_> i'm using 2 monitors with ubuntu
[17:33] <gain_> how can I set the monitor where gnome panels must stay?
[17:33] <chucky> erUSUL, need some help,how do i login 2 lxde?
[17:33] <stefg> killazzz: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/LDP/Security-HOWTO/
[17:33] <erUSUL> grawity: Beardbar and in all the entire site there are no legitimate uses of <iframe> ? at the beginning of the line ? the regext looks a little bit too general.
[17:33] <erUSUL> chucky: never installed lxde myself; can not help you sorry
[17:34] <chucky> LXDE anyone???????????/
[17:34] <gain_> gnome-display-properties for the configuration
[17:34] <chucky> erUSUL, thanx
[17:34] <grawity> erUSUL: It probably is - already PM'd Beardbar one that matches just that specific tag
[17:34] <erUSUL> chucky: sorry for not being of more help
[17:34] <chucky> erUSUL, np:)
[17:34] <erUSUL> grawity: cheers
[17:35] <ksiuke> !ot > kisuke
[17:35] <steven__> My hdd temp is 57-59 degress celsius IDLE. smartctl reports  FAILING NOW. I first notice this because of a shutdown due to overheat (proc temp are fine, 35 deg). Don't know if the hard disk even spins down but if I do hdparm -y /dev/sda it istantly spins-up again.
[17:35] <stefg> steven__: time fo a backup, eh?
[17:35] <ksiuke> !offtopic > kisuke
[17:35]  * erUSUL nods
[17:36] <dassouki> is there a way i can list my largest directories in terms of file size ?
[17:36] <dassouki> in my home folder
[17:36] <steven__> stefg, lol, it reports failing now only near the temperature sensor. I don't think the whole drive is failing.
[17:36] <llutz> dassouki: something like: du -xh --max-depth=1 ~/
[17:37] <LexR> !lts
[17:37] <stefg> steven__: would you bet your data on that?
[17:37] <kisuke> !topic > kisuke
[17:38] <dassouki> llutz: thanks
[17:38] <Stumpie> Hello, I have ubuntu 9.04 installed on my other PC, I was wondering if it is possible to virtualize a  Macintosh OS, like OSX? I am looking at virtualbox, but there is no script for any macintosh OS. TIA :)
[17:38] <kisuke> !offtopic >kisuke
[17:38] <steven__> stefg, no ofc, will do a backup (already have one, usually I do a backup every 6 months and then I install the new release of ubuntu).   BUT when I do it a second time, I get /y/x  Why?
[17:41] <kisuke> stumpie you can install OSX to a virtual machine but it will be a violation of apples EULA
[17:41] <grawity> JuJuBee: Because the first time you do it, ~/y does not exist yet.
[17:41] <unoobtu> running the script with bash ./script
[17:41] <kisuke> !pgp
[17:41] <stefg> steven__: whatever causes that temparauture: first you need to backup your data then investigate the situation. maybe the drive is just mounted in the wrong place (doesn't get enough airstream), maybe a bearing has failed and the drive is now grinding itself to death. However, i personally never find the trouble with broken drives worth the 50-100 bucks for a new one. half an hour of work...
[17:41] <stefg> ...already equals the price for a drive so i'm quick in replacing them
[17:41] <ghostlines> does anyone know how to open vim with a line automatically added by default like #!/usr/local/bin/python ?
[17:41] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up anyone???
[17:41] <JuJuBee> grawity: how do I do it correctly? so I can run the backup many times ?
[17:42] <grawity> unoobtu: It should be:  if [ "$WEB_ROOT" = "" ];
[17:42] <grawity> JuJuBee: For backups, rsync may be a little better.
[17:42] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:42] <waga> hello
[17:42] <nimrod|king> steven__: I agree with stefg - just buy a new hdd
[17:42] <steven__> stefg, I forgot to mention i'm using a notebook
[17:42] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:42] <JuJuBee> even for making a backup of a local folder in my home dir?
[17:42] <unoobtu> grawity with spaces and without "then"? :o
[17:42] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:42] <grawity> unoobtu: Only add the spaces.
[17:42] <waga> how can i format a floppy for FAT12?
[17:43] <Stumpie> kisuke, that is ok, apple violated me when they bricked my iphone :) Would you happen to know what software I can use to do it? I have KVM, Qemu, and virtualbox at the moment.
[17:43] <grawity> waga: mkfs.vfat
[17:43] <unoobtu> grawity omg.. ok -__- works :P
[17:43] <unoobtu> grawity thx a lot -___o
[17:43] <chucky> installed lxde need some help starting up .........anyone???
[17:43] <genii> waga: mkfs.vfat -F12
[17:43] <kisuke> stumpie i'd have to use google... but in a couple of miites i will
[17:43] <genii> (for specifially FAT12)
[17:43] <grawity> Ximbinha: FYI, doing that can anger many users.
[17:44] <JuJuBee> grawity: should I use rsync for such a simple task?  there is no simple cp syntax?
[17:44] <dorne> I need my F1 when inside my school's iseries, and everytime I hit it, it shows the gnome terminal help =/
[17:44] <stefg> steven__: that can be  a non-functioning fan or an acpi bug... however. notebook hd's are even more failuer prone. harddisks don't like to be thrown around
[17:44] <ZykoticK9> chucky, log out as your user and at the GDM/KDM screen choose Session then select lxde
[17:44] <Stumpie> kisuke, dont worry about it, I am googleing it :) Thanks for your help :)
[17:44] <kisuke> stumpie offtopic why did they brick your iphone?
[17:44] <grawity> JuJuBee: rsync is better for backups because it also checks which files were changed (instead of just copying the entire thing).
[17:44] <grawity> JuJuBee: But about cp... try cp ~/x/. ~/y
[17:45] <JuJuBee> grawity: ok fair enough...
[17:45] <waga> is there any gui thingy for formatting a floppy
[17:45] <JuJuBee> grawity: thanks
[17:45] <chucky> ZykoticK9, ok thanx..will do so the start up screen is what ur reference is to?
[17:45] <waga> ??
[17:45] <Stumpie> my fat wife wanted to develope software for it, and she installed some hack to allow her to add applications from a non-apple store source.
[17:45] <grawity> waga: What's wrong with mkfs?
[17:45] <ZykoticK9> chucky, yup
[17:45] <chucky> ZykoticK9, roger
[17:45] <waga> i dont'
[17:45] <steven__> stefg, ok thanks, will investigate on it. what about the drive that spins-up just after spindown?
[17:46] <erUSUL> waga: maybe gparted can do it. or gnome-format
[17:46] <Jill> who is there? O_o
[17:46] <waga> i have to type mkfs.vfat -FAT12 <device name>  i don
[17:46] <llutz> Stumpie: so it wasn't apple bricking it. troll away
[17:46] <unoobtu> grawity i'm calling a script that exports a variable, but in the calling script i can't see that variable..
[17:46] <waga> i don't know floppys name...
[17:46] <grawity> waga: /dev/fd0
[17:46] <grawity> unoobtu: How are you calling it?
[17:47] <kisuke> stumpie virginize it
[17:47] <Stumpie> llutz apple was the one who turned it off
[17:47] <waga> waga@ubuntu:/media$ mkfs.vfat -F12 /dev/fd0
[17:47] <grawity> unoobtu: When a script is _executed_ (like ./script), it _cannot_ affect the environment of its parent process.
[17:47] <waga> mkfs.vfat 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008)
[17:47] <waga> mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing reserved sector
[17:47] <waga> waga@ubuntu:/media$
[17:47] <Stumpie> kisuke, thanks :)
[17:47] <FloodBot2> waga: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:47] <stefg> steven__: as i said, it might be an acpi bug or can be damaged drive electronics. i'd use something like the UBCD or the SysResCD and linvestigate the smart logs and check it with the vendor utility
[17:47] <waga> sorry, i did not know
[17:47] <grawity> waga: sudo mkfs.vfat -F12 /dev/fd0
[17:47] <unoobtu> grawity so what's the alternative? a global fixed var?
[17:47] <grawity> unoobtu: What does the script do?
[17:48] <waga> mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing reserved sector
[17:48] <unoobtu> grawity i got many separated scripts that works on a url, i want to set the url only in 1 place
[17:49] <homovitruvius> NEED HELP: I have no outgoing mail on Ubuntu 9.04. I removed my firewall machine/routers and I now go directly to the ADSL modem. Can do pretty much everything on the net, _except_ telnet somehost 25. I don't think I've a firewall on this machine (ufw is inactive). Any ideas? Everything was working yesterday.
[17:49] <unoobtu> grawity *without setting a fixed environment variable possibly
[17:49] <waga> it worked
[17:50] <stefg> unoobtu: environment variable, or a master script that sets the variable and *sources* the (sub-) scripts
[17:51] <unoobtu> stefg there's a way to import a script into another?
[17:52] <grawity> unoobtu: Try the 'source' command.
[17:52] <stefg> unoobtu: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[17:52] <unoobtu> grawity ok thx
[17:52] <unoobtu> stefg thx i'll take a look
[17:53] <stefg> unoobtu: BTW... what you actually want is functions that you can pass parameters to
[17:53] <grant_> i have ub 8,40  but dont work very well
[17:53] <dios_mio> how do i upgrade pidgin?
[17:53] <Baba_B00ie> what telnet clients are available to linux ? i was looking for something to do old fashioned bbs's with. that supports ascii, extended ascii and color blocks
[17:54] <mecha-streisand> anyone have any clues why my onboard gigabit network card is maxing out at 1MB/s?
[17:54] <stefg> !telnet | Baba_B00ie
[17:54] <unoobtu> stefg hmmm.. not exactly.. i want just to call one of the X scripts that uses a fixed variable..
[17:54] <kisuke> stumpie http://prasys.co.cc/2009/09/install-snow-leopard-on-a-pcs-the-easy-way/
[17:54] <musschrott> hi, i'm planning to install winxp and ubuntu (or kubuntu) as a dual boot system. does anybody know a good tutorial/walkthrough for that?
[17:54] <grawity> stefg: Tell that to BBS owners.
[17:54] <unoobtu> stefg that's no point passing to each script the same val
[17:54] <erUSUL> !dualboot | musschrott
[17:54] <grawity> Baba_B00ie: 'telnet' is the most popular one.
[17:55] <musschrott> thx a bunch, ubotto
[17:55] <Baba_B00ie> stefg, why isn't telnet safe? because it doesn't encrypt user/pass ? i could care less man. it's for bbs's not doing remote admins
[17:55] <grawity> Baba_B00ie: But in reality, it's not the telnet client that contains ANSI/color/whatever support... It's the terminal emulator that does. (xterm, gnome-terminal, and such.) The telnet program just passes all data.
[17:55] <stefg> unoobtu: so you do not call the script (i.e. start it in its own process), but you source it (in the same process context)
[17:55] <dao> is thre a linux mint cannel?
[17:56] <erUSUL> !mint > dao
[17:56] <Baba_B00ie> grawity, the problem i had with the default telnet client in linux, i didn't know how to get it to display ansi chars and extended ascii
[17:56] <stefg> Baba_B00ie: telnet is a builtin
[17:56] <biznock09> I have a mini dell and need to connect an external modem any thoughts the drivers are for windows
[17:56] <unoobtu> stefg yes it works now :-)
[17:56] <grawity> stefg: It's not (it does come with a default install though)
[17:56] <Ido_> Hello guys. I'd like to learn about Samba, or any other way to communicate Windows' home-network with Ubuntu/Xubuntu. Also I can't find where to download a version that fits Xubuntu in their website. Thanks in advance for your help.
[17:56] <nOStahl> i had a power outage on ext4 setup cant boot the computer now. what do i do
[17:56] <erUSUL> Baba_B00ie: maybe MUD clients are more featurefull for normal telenet too ?
[17:57] <Baba_B00ie> grawity, can you suggest how to get gnome-term  to properly display ansi, ascii exended ascii ?
[17:57] <TheCheeze> Ido_, open up the symantec package manager and seach for SAMBA
[17:57] <grawity> TheCheeze: Synaptic*
[17:57] <grawity> Ido_: In most Linux distributions, software is installed through a package manager. In Ubuntu, the package name is 'samba' - use either Synaptic or apt-get.
[17:57] <TheCheeze> grawity, ty
[17:58] <kisuke> !mint >kisuke
[17:58] <ZykoticK9> Baba_B00ie, qterm is a BBS client - not sure if it supports telnet BBS though - but you could give it a shot
[17:58] <zmax> oi
[17:58] <grawity> Ido_: Also, Ubuntu is Debian-based, so if there's no version for Ubuntu, the Debian packages usually work.
[17:59] <Baba_B00ie> ZykoticK9, thanks i have tried qterm in the past w/o good luck. i'll see if i can find the latest devel and it's progress
[17:59] <Ido_> grawity: alright, thanks. Is there any info i'd need to know about Samba I won't find in the website directly? Plus, i've been told about it from the Xubuntu server though the guy who told me about it doesn't know much about the program. Can I communicate a Windows computer in my house through Network using it?
[17:59] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: you may need to boot to miniPE or puppy, not sure if puppy has data recovery tools. Try to recover what you can then reformat the ext4 in question and start over :(
[17:59] <biznock09> can anyone help with trying to get an external modem to work when the drivers are designed for windows
[17:59] <erUSUL> biznock09: dial up modem ? usb or serial ?
[18:00] <biznock09> dial
[18:00] <stefg> !dialup | bizn
[18:00] <biznock09> yeah
[18:00] <grawity> Ido_: Yes, you can use samba to connect to Windows machines -- samba is essentially a Linux implementation of SMB, the protocol Windows uses for file and printer sharing. (Also, I guess you meant the Xubuntu channel?)
[18:00] <erUSUL> biznock09: USB or serial port ?
[18:00] <biznock09> usb
[18:00] <ZykoticK9> Baba_B00ie, also you could look into adding a vga font "vga.pcf" I had much more success using it to render ANSI/ASCI with gnome-terminal.  Good luck man (old school BBSs rule!)
[18:00] <stefg> biznock09: forget about the wondows drivers. you can't use them
[18:00] <biznock09> i figured
[18:01] <Ido_> grawity: Yeah, sorry, I confused.
[18:01] <Ido_> Anyways, thanks a lot. This package-based system looks useful.
[18:01] <Baba_B00ie> ZykoticK9, heck ya man thanks
[18:01] <erUSUL> biznock09: can you do this. in a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » then plug the modem paste the new lines that will appear on the screen
[18:01] <mikinanuq> nOStahl: google  for  ext4 partition repair, you may be able to run fschk on it
[18:01] <erUSUL> !paste | biznock09
[18:02] <albert> ubuntu italian what is the chan?
[18:02] <erUSUL> !it | albert
[18:02] <albert> please.
[18:02] <grawity> !it | albert
[18:03] <albert> thanks
[18:03] <biznock09> so i just put that line in the terminal and thats it
[18:03] <biznock09> ?
[18:03] <erUSUL> biznock09: press enter
[18:03] <paipimenta> hey peeps, I just used pvmove and pvresize to shrink my lvm partition that ubuntu is on
[18:03] <biznock09> ok
[18:04] <phaer> hi. I am using thunderbird <IP_ADDRESS> on Ubuntu 9.04. And after i created a new account it tells me "3 new messages" in the statusbar, but i cant see those messages. there are no new mails in the local folders and there are no new folders. any ideas?
[18:04] <albert> i have one problem with my desktop
[18:04] <albert> i remove cairo-dock
[18:04] <erUSUL> biznock09: you will se 10 lines of the system log. then lpug the modem more lines will appear
[18:04] <paipimenta> now I need to Create an NTFS partition for windows (using fdisk or whatever tool you are familiar with)
[18:04] <albert> and after reboot
[18:04] <paipimenta> how do I do that?
[18:04] <albert> i have black screen
[18:04] <albert> why?
[18:04] <paipimenta> phaer: pop? imap?
[18:05] <grawity> paipimenta: mkfs.ntfs from ntfsprogs, I think.
[18:05] <ZykoticK9> albert, try to keep your posts on one line
[18:05] <phaer> paipimenta: oh sorry, pop.
[18:05] <albert> ZykoticK9, ok :D
[18:05] <erUSUL> paipimenta: i do not think windows can mount a  lvm volume/parition
[18:05] <paipimenta> grawity: can I do that while online on /  ?
[18:05] <albert> i remove cairo-dock and after reboot i have black screen but with mouse. why?
[18:05] <biznock09> erusul: nothing happend
[18:06] <grawity> erUSUL: It cannot.
[18:06] <paipimenta> erUSUL: I shrank my other partitions/lv/pv so that I can create a non-LVM for windows
[18:06] <dorne> never mind, dumb luck lead me to press backspace to disable the keys in gnome-terminal. thanks.
[18:06] <grawity> paipimenta: Of course. mkfs only affects that specific partition you run it on.
[18:06] <erUSUL> biznock09: o.0! nothing when you plug the modem ?
[18:06] <dorne> :D
[18:06] <erUSUL> paipimenta: ok
[18:06] <paipimenta> good... I spent all night in damn busybox
[18:06] <biznock09> erUSUL: no nothing when i put the line in
[18:06] <fccf> biznock09: correcting erUSUL ... it is ... tail -f /var/log/messages
[18:06] <quantum> grawity, (sorry for the delay) i can send myself an email from the inside
[18:07] <grawity> quantum: And from the outside?
[18:07] <paipimenta> fell asleep during my biggest pvmove
[18:07] <quantum> but not from gmail to the mail server...
[18:07] <erUSUL> fccf: « man tailf »
[18:07] <phaer> paipimenta, no ideas?
[18:07] <grawity> quantum: Does the log say anything about gmail.com?
[18:08] <paipimenta> what kind of email acct is it?
[18:08] <paipimenta> hotmail? gmail? yahoo? other?
[18:08] <quantum> grawity,  /var/mail.log right?
[18:08] <biznock09> fccf
[18:08] <biznock09> fccf still nothing
[18:08] <grawity> paipimenta: Neither, a separate mail server.
[18:08] <alabd> good day everyone ,what is seehorse daemon ?
[18:08] <grawity> quantum: /var/log/mail.log
[18:08] <wrapster> what are APT alternatives?
[18:08] <paipimenta> I've had bad experience losing messages on a webmail server because POP on a mail client took it off permanently
[18:08] <paipimenta> that way, another mail client didn't get it
[18:08] <fccf> erUSUL: I learn something new everyday
[18:09] <unoobtu> oookk another little question O:-)
[18:09] <grawity> paipimenta: Meh, ignore the last one
[18:09] <erUSUL> biznock09: what is the model name of the modem? have you googled it ?
[18:09] <alabd> good day everyone ,what is seahorse daemon ?
[18:09] <wrapster> is there anything known like that.. and what do they do.. Can anyone let me know where i can find docs on it?
[18:09] <unoobtu> i want to pass acpi -V result to a function urlEncode
[18:09] <erUSUL> fccf: like everyone else here ;P that's the point
[18:09] <kisuke> alabd seahorse is the gnome keyring where wireless network passwords and PGP/ ssh keys are storedare stord
[18:09] <paipimenta> I use evolution, sorry
[18:09] <quantum> Sep 30 19:10:01 quantum postfix/smtpd[15565]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[<IP_ADDRESS>] <-- could this be it, that it listens to the loopback?
[18:09] <grawity> alabd: seahorse-daemon is the passphrase caching agent used by GNOME.
[18:09] <erUSUL> alabd: seahorse manages your encryption keys in gnome
[18:09] <grawity> kisuke: Not exactly. gnome-keyring is a separate process.
[18:09] <biznock09> erUSUL: rdo2-d400
[18:10] <unoobtu> i tried with urlEncode `acpi -V` but now i got to concat the returned string with another
[18:10] <quantum> grawity, Sep 30 19:10:01 quantum postfix/smtpd[15565]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[<IP_ADDRESS>] <-- could this be it, that it listens to the loopback?
[18:10] <fccf> wrapster: what are you trying to do??
[18:10] <grawity> quantum: No, it should listen on all interfaces ([::] or <IP_ADDRESS>) -- it's just you connecting to localhost.
[18:10] <stefg> biznock09: get around to d/l ScanModem and run it. it will tell you anything you need to know
[18:10] <biznock09> erUSUL: nothing happens when i do that line
[18:10] <alabd> thanks
[18:10] <grawity> quantum: Is the mail server accessible from the outside Internet? Can you PM me its address?
[18:10] <quantum> grawity, nothing about gmail
[18:10] <quantum> PM?
[18:10] <wrapster> needed to modify the jdk pkg to add a few things.. i was told to look at what APT alternatives are!!!
[18:10] <wrapster> thats all
[18:10] <grawity> (PM = 'private message')
[18:11] <wrapster> fccf: what could that be?
[18:11] <digilord> Where does Ubuntu store spelling corrections that you add in an application like gedit?
[18:11] <kisuke> grawity read *buntu uses seahorse (ubuntu.com been a while) and my keying said it was seahorse
[18:11] <biznock09> stefg: what is d/l can i get that from add/remove
[18:11] <stefg> biznock09: please see the dialup howto
[18:11] <quantum> grawity, i can email you ...
[18:12] <chmac> I have fuse-utils installed. Any idea why `modprobe -l fuse` returns nothing?
[18:12] <stefg> !dialup | biznock09
[18:12] <quantum> than you can have the whole header...
[18:12] <ZykoticK9> biznock09, d/l usually means Download
[18:12] <guntbert> biznock09: d/l is "short" for download :-)
[18:12] <unoobtu> ok, the clean question is, how to make that work: curl "$WEB_ROOT?data=" urlEncode `acpi -V`
[18:12] <grawity> quantum: Okay, try.
[18:12] <fccf> wrapster: what are you trying to add to the JDK, there might be an alternative .deb package that includes the Java Libraries you are looking for
[18:12] <erUSUL> biznock09: i do not find any relevant on google... seems that you are out of luck...
[18:12] <erUSUL> biznock09: does it appear if you do « lsusb » on a terminal ?
[18:12] <wrapster> fccf: sorry got cut out..
[18:12] <nOStahl> http://pastie.org/636940   when i try to repair my ext4 system thats what i get
[18:12] <nOStahl> any ideas
[18:13] <fccf> wrapster: what are you trying to add to the JDK, there might be an alternative .deb package that includes the Java Libraries you are looking for
[18:13] <wrapster> fccf: im want to create a few symlinks to /usr/java for my purposes...
[18:13] <llutz> chmac: it's fix in kernel, no module
[18:13] <chmac> llutz: Oh, ok, thanks. Sounds like the issue is in vmware then... :-(
[18:14] <tdn> How do I open a video streaming URL like this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[18:14] <unoobtu> grawity how to make that work: curl "$WEB_ROOT?data=" urlEncode `acpi -V`
[18:14] <llutz> chmac: grep -i fuse /boot/config-2.6.28-15-generic
[18:14] <wrapster> and why is /usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac done?
[18:14] <llutz> chmac:or even:  grep -i fuse /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[18:14] <unoobtu> grawity the problem for me is how to concat the function result to the rest..
[18:14] <wrapster> for all java* files?
[18:14] <tdn> How do I *save* a streaming video URL like this one<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:14] <erUSUL> wrapster: becouse ubuntu offers more than one java compiler/jdk
[18:15] <digilord> tdn: Use VLC
[18:15] <erUSUL> wrapster: there gcj (gnu gcc) openjdk and sun's java jdk for a start
[18:15] <chmac> llutz: Thanks, fuse is enabled I think, says "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y"
[18:15] <biznock09> erUSUL: bus info came up
[18:15] <erUSUL> there is*
[18:15] <biznock09> erUSUL: but when i plugged the modem in nothing
[18:15] <erUSUL> biznock09: is something related to the modem in there?
[18:15] <llutz> chmac: yes,  a module would have "....FS=m"
[18:16] <grawity> unoobtu: $(urlEncode blah)
[18:16] <unoobtu> grawity great thx!
[18:16] <chmac> llutz: Ok, gotcha, I'll try getting the latest version of vmware, see if that helps, thanks
[18:16] <wrapster> erUSUL: i need to handle the SUN jdk
[18:16] <biznock09> erUSUL: doesnt look like it
[18:16] <ZykoticK9> tdn, mplayer can copy streams, see http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-streamcopy.html
[18:16] <nik0z> hey, any Google Wave invites here???
[18:16] <fccf> wrapster: apt really has nothing to do with that ... if you wanted to create a package that has those symlinks, it would be a matter of packaging symlinks, .. you can get help with packaging in #ubuntu-motu
[18:17] <paolino> hi, is there anything more than ip forwarding I should set on in my box which is not a server edition , to use iptables to do routing ?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> !ot | nik0z
[18:18] <wrapster> fccf:provide symlinks to /usr/java/
[18:18] <wrapster>                 as the default path is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun.
[18:18] <wrapster> fccf: that exactly what i want to do.. but was told to look at APT alternatives..
[18:19] <wrapster> fccf: what are these alternatives?
[18:19] <wrapster> is it something like aptitude as opposed to apt?
[18:19] <paolino> from wireshark I'm receiving packets on my LAN interface but it seems it's not forwarding them on the WAN one
[18:20] <tdn> ZykoticK9, ok.
[18:21] <fccf> wrapster: aptitude is a text-mode front end for apt ... like synaptic in the GUI
[18:22] <fccf> wrapster: reccommend reading 'man ln'
[18:22] <digilord> Where does Ubuntu store spelling corrections that you add in an application like gedit?
[18:22] <Xoop> How do i remove something from my system isnt it (sudo apt-get autoremove programname)
[18:23] <digilord> Xoop: sudo apt-get remove appname
[18:24] <iceroot> Xoop: sudo apt-get remove paketname  for removing the paket or sudo apt-get purge paketname   for removing the paket and its config
[18:25] <Xoop> I lost apache2.conf in the /etc/apache2 dir and i cant seem to remove or get it back
[18:25] <iceroot> Xoop: in old ubuntu-versions its sudo apt-get remove --purge paketname instead of purge paketname
[18:25] <Pici> iceroot: fyi, they're called packages, not pakets
[18:25] <t0s> can someone help me create a partition to install windows 7? im trying to dual boot with ubuntu. not sure how to do it the way i have my partitions setup cuz i think windows 7 uses 2 paritions this is what my paritions look like now http://i34.tinypic.com/rjpr1y.png
[18:26] <choreo> LInux vs windows, which is which
[18:26] <iceroot> Pici: ok...
[18:26] <Xoop> For some reason when i sudo apt-get remove apache2, apache2 is still there
[18:27] <Xoop> Although it says it uninstalled it and removed it from my system
[18:27] <iceroot> Xoop: sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache2  to get the defaults
[18:27] <Xoop> It says its not installed
[18:27] <Xoop> but it is
[18:27] <iceroot> Xoop: what is still there? /etc/apache2/ or the package?
[18:27] <genii> Xoop: sudo apt-get remove --purge whatever
[18:28] <Xoop> The dir is there with all the files except for apache2.conf
[18:28] <choreo> how can i install windows application to my ubuntu
[18:28] <iceroot> Xoop: please read what i have say about remove and purge
[18:28] <grawity> !wine | choreo
[18:29] <choreo> what is wine
[18:29] <grawity> choreo: It's a Linux program that allows you to use Windows programs on Linux.
[18:29] <genii> !wine | choreo
[18:29] <choreo> is it from the terminal
[18:30] <iceroot> choreo: please read what ubottu gave you and see also the link
[18:30] <unoobtu> why can't i return that from a function? return `acpi -V | perl -MURI::Escape -lne 'print uri_escape($_)'`
[18:31] <grawity> unoobtu: In bash, a return value can only be an integer.
[18:31] <grawity> unoobtu: But you can set variables inside functionsa.
[18:31] <unoobtu> grawity oh my frog!
[18:31] <chattta> Hi, I'm trying to make audio cd from a few mp3s, but Brasero (burner prog) says: "Make sure the appropriate codec is installed"
[18:31] <dbugger> Hey guys
[18:31] <Pici> Xoop: apache2 is a metapackage, you'll need to use apt-get autoremove to remove the packages it depended on.
[18:31] <dbugger> Is there a way that videos show properly evenwhen compiz is being used?
[18:31] <stefg> !codec | chattta
[18:31] <unoobtu> grawity oook thx -__+
[18:32] <chattta> what package should i add?      also, dvd's wont play.  i've already added "GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin"
[18:32] <soreau> dbugger: Depends on which graphics driver
[18:32] <pancake> how can I insert a kernel module which is from the same kernel version but from not the ubuntu one?
[18:32] <pancake> Im getting "disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[18:32] <stefg> !medibuntu | chattta
[18:32] <dbugger> soreau, Im using ATI
[18:33] <choreo> ok tnx a lot its work....
[18:33] <AgentArmstrong> howdy
[18:34] <soreau> dbugger: There are two drivers for ati cards. With the proprietary one, video will be slow and poor quality
[18:34] <choreo> how about network, how to share my drive(s) to other pc connected to my pc
[18:34] <madxmas> hi
[18:34] <unoobtu> grawity now inside the function i do: urlEncodeRES=`$1 | perl -MURI::Escape -lne 'print uri_escape($_)'` still failing..
[18:34] <choreo> how about network, how to share my drive(s) to other pc connected to my pc
[18:34] <digilord> Neve rmind I found it
[18:34] <grawity> unoobtu: You forgot an echo.
[18:35] <madxmas> !list
[18:35] <Freku> type howto ubuuntu in youtube and see movies about sharing drives
[18:35] <grawity> unoobtu: And so it's trying to execute $1 (well, the contents of it) as a command.
[18:35] <Niklas_B> Heard that Ubuntu 10 was announced... Any release date of Beta?
[18:35] <dbugger> soreau, Well, obviously I want the good quality and speed. (I hope that's the one im using). So can I fix the compiz issue?
[18:35] <unoobtu> grawity ok.. thx for the patience
[18:35] <zvacet> !samba | choreo
[18:35] <grawity> unoobtu: urlEncodeRES="$(echo "$@" | perl -Mblahblah)"
[18:35] <stefg> !nfs | choreo
[18:35] <soreau> dbugger: Which graphics driver are you using and which model card
[18:36] <fccf> digilord: where? I'd like to know
[18:36] <dbugger> ATI radeon 200M
[18:36] <dbugger> I guess im not using the propietary, since it worked off the box
[18:36] <digilord> fccf: .enchant/en.dic

[18:37] <digilord> Sorry
[18:37] <deviL_night> !ubuntu
[18:38] <unoobtu> grawity great :) i am passing a string to execute, so i passed "acpi -V" to func, used inside `$1 | perl blablabla`
[18:38] <erk_> gets
[18:38] <unoobtu> grawity you're safe for now O:-)
[18:38] <soreau> ! who | dbugger
[18:39] <dbugger> soreau, sorry :)
[18:39] <choreo> ok thanks a lot
[18:39] <soreau> dbugger: What does glxinfo|grep renderer say?
[18:40] <dbugger> MESA
[18:40] <dbugger> soreau, but dont worry. I fixed it right now with VLC :)
[18:40] <sczgilae> anybody knows if normal users can mount in the konsola an shared network directory ?
[18:40] <grawity> sczgilae: Only a GVFS mount. Are you using GNOME?
[18:40] <grawity> sczgilae: gvfs-mount smb://user@host/share/
[18:40] <pancake> is there a way to force the module insertion of different version?
[18:41] <pancake> i dunno what's the ubuntu kernel checking
[18:41] <Xoop> It keeps saying apache2 is not installed so it cannot be removed, but it is clearly still installed
[18:41] <sczgilae> grawity: im using kubuntu. i see that by dolphin i dont have problems but in the konsola yes
[18:41] <soreau> dbugger: With the open driver you always want to use xv vo driver for your player. For totem, set it in gstreamer-properties. For vlc, set it in vlc prefs. for mplayer, its slightly more complicated taking info from xvinfo
[18:41] <ChogyDan> Xoop: is the apache process still running?
[18:42] <soreau> ugh
[18:42] <Pici> Xoop: Did you see the advice that I gave you a little bit ago?
[18:42] <Xoop> The process isnt there
[18:42] <hghgd> can i run both bootchart and boot graph at the same boot?
[18:43] <Xoop> I tried that to Pici
[18:43] <Pici> Xoop: You may also want to take a look at the output of: dpgk -l | grep apache
[18:43] <Pici> Xoop: sorry, dpkg -l | grep apache

[18:51] <markl__> ^mNotIntelligent: yeah i would think so but maybe there isn't a way to play more than 1 sound at a time with this driver or something goofy
[18:51] <kielanmatt_> well cause It fucks up my overclock
[18:51] <Bof> It seems that X11 use a lot of cpu, does anyone know how to check and possibly fix that ?
[18:51] <^mNotIntelligent> markl__, you can check that out in launchpad/ #ubuntu+1
[18:51] <twig11> Any ideas about why APTonCD would use up all my system memory and then crash while doing the initial scan after launching? I'm running Jaunty on an old machine with a PentiumIII processor and 512Mb RAM.

[18:53] <kielanmatt_> ?
[18:53] <disappearedng> thx
[18:53] <twig11> ^mNotIntelligent: I know but it runs everything else I'm using it for, and I wouldn't think AptonCD would need that much.
[18:54] <Armageddon> how do i so a physical check for my hard drives ?
[18:54] <shai> Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ?
[18:54] <strangelove_> hi, i have a problem with starting desktop, i just logged out 2 hours ago, and now when i try to turn on computer i can see ubuntu progress bar and then - only black screen with my cursor (i have autologin on) what might be wrong?
[18:54] <^mNotIntelligent> twig11, yep,,,make sure you dont have anything running in the background consuming memory
[18:54] <kielanmatt_> cmon?
[18:54] <kielanmatt_> cpu freq scaling
[18:54] <kielanmatt_> how to get rid of it?
[18:55] <^mNotIntelligent> !patience | kielanmatt_
[18:55] <shai> Armageddon, You can start from a live CD and run fsck (depending on your filesystem type)
[18:55] <NUKER> how can i connect to gprs
[18:55] <Armageddon> shai, already have ubuntu :) why do I need to start it from a livecd ?
[18:56] <jigspan> hi anyone help me?
[18:56] <twig11> ^mNotIntelligent: I don't. Background operations are only using a bit over 100Mb. What app needs 400Mb RAM? Not APTonCD I'm pretty sure.
[18:56] <kielanmatt_> i unistalled all my cpufreq packages
[18:56] <kielanmatt_> what is wrong
[18:56] <kielanmatt_> ?
[18:56] <Bof> I looked to my xor.conf file and it is empty... is there a problem with my configuration?
[18:56] <shai> Armageddon, I don't think you can do a physical filesystem check without one ...
[18:56] <fccf> t0s: I'd shrink sda7 approiately ... and create a new NTFS partition at sda8 making it bootable ... this will temporairly break ubuntu .... then boot with live CD ... make sda1 bootable again and follow instruction at !dualboot to add the windows lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:56] <orwell> how to install from USB ?
[18:56] <jigspan> shai: can u help me?
[18:56] <fccf> !dualboot > t0s
[18:57] <shai> Armageddon, I suppose you can schedule a filesystem check on next reboot though...
[18:57] <^mNotIntelligent> twig11, yep.... i do think the same....no idea what else could be the issue :-(
[18:57] <shai> jigspan, You're gonna need to ask something for people to help you...
[18:57] <jigspan> yes
[18:57] <fccf> !anyone | jigspan
[18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> jigspan, go ahead
[18:58] <jigspan> ofcource
[18:58] <twig11> ^mNotIntelligent: Thanks for the suggestion anyhow. :-)
[18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> twig11, no probs :-)

[18:58] <bin_strout> Anyone having a similar problem : S?
[18:58] <shai> Does anyone know how I can enforce the larger DPI ( I set it to 120 instead of 96 ) on X apps I started over SSH X11 Forwarding ? The DPI set on my XDM works great, but those menus are just way to small on the apps I start via SSH ...
[18:59] <jigspan> can anyone tell me how to configure clamavd
[19:00] <^mNotIntelligent> !patience | jigspan
[19:00] <Bof> I looked to my xor.conf file and it is empty... is there a problem with my configuration?
[19:00] <jigspan> what do u mean?
[19:00] <twig11> Weird problem with APTonCD: as soon as I launch it and it begins the initial package scan, it begins sucking ever-increasing amounts of RAM until it uses up all 400MB I have free. Then, before the scan is finished, it crashes. What could be the problem?
[19:00] <MenZa> I hope you mean xorg.conf, Bof
[19:01] <Bof> Yes MenZa
[19:01] <MenZa> Also, Bof, please refrain from repeating yourself too often.

[19:02] <jigspan> fccf, no i have just installed it and need to work it
[19:03] <mgv2> llutz, is that a commant or i just burn over again?
[19:03] <walkie_> hello, how to save iptables and ip6tables  rules after reboot in ubuntu?
[19:04] <llutz> mgv2: usually you just overwrite them, but you can force "formatting" with that command
[19:04] <fabio_> ma qualcuno parla italiano?
[19:04] <twig11> My fresh installation of APTonCD consumes all available memory (about 400Mb) and crashes before even completing the initial package scan. What's wrong? I'm running Jaunty on on older machine with a Pentium III processor and 512 Mb Ram.

[19:09] <walkie_> genii, thanks
[19:09] <Niklas_B> NuuBuntu, Login as root in the application
[19:09] <NuuBuntu> Niklas_B how do I do that?
[19:10] <Niklas_B> Should be an "unlock" button there
[19:10] <grawity> NuuBuntu: I guess Evolution is simply set to create plain text emails.
[19:10] <genii> Gah, "log in as root"
[19:10]  * genii shivers
[19:10] <jimcooncat> NuuBuntu: perhaps you're not composing that email in HTML, but only as plain text
[19:10] <grawity> Niklas_B: How the hell is inserting links related to root?
[19:10] <trijntje> Niklas_B, why should NuuBuntu start evolution as root?
[19:10] <D-rew> So, I'm having a helluva time getting nvidia-190 drivers to work for me.
[19:10] <sweetde> hi all, does anyone know how to increase the volume of an audio file (either mpg wav or ogg) in CLI (so I can use it in a script)?

[19:12] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, I've done it in the past.
[19:12] <Niklas_B> NuuBuntu, sorry, missunderstood your question :) never mind.
[19:12] <LjL> pantung: ISOs are not installation files, they're CD images.
[19:12] <ChogyDan> D-rew: yeah, that's where they are putting it.  Karmic still isn't out though
[19:12] <Guest50266> ath9k driver drops the connection pretty much every minute - is there a known workaround?
[19:12] <cloodangel> qualcuno parla italiano
[19:12] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, What type?
[19:12] <LjL> !it | cloodangel
[19:12] <D-rew> ChogyDan, It comes out the 20th, right?
[19:12] <Niklas_B> Chill out trinjtje, i missread hes Question.
[19:12] <cyberix> My karmic is lacking the small envelope that is used for opening the Instant Messenger. How do I get the envelope?
[19:12] <SoldierNIX> D-rew I have ircd-irc2 running fine. I am trying to figure out how to get ops on my channels
[19:12] <pantung> LjL, y i know but is it posible to install it without burning it?
[19:13] <Pici> cyberix : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:13] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, Ops, like services? NickServ, Chanserv, etc?
[19:13] <trijntje> Niklas_B, dont advice people to start applications as root without thinking twice
[19:13] <sczgilae> anybody knows if normal users can mount in the konsola an shared network directory ?
[19:13] <ChogyDan> D-rew: 29th
[19:13] <sassyn> hi all
[19:13] <LjL> pantung: since it's a whole operating system (ubuntu studio, that is), i'd say, hardly.
[19:13] <D-rew> Oh, I see.
[19:13] <cyberix> Pici: ok.
[19:13] <sassyn> do u know if 9.10 will support xen?
[19:13] <Pici> sassyn : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:13] <D-rew> ChogyDan, Whats the deal with Windows 7 getting released before Karmic?! lol, jk
[19:13] <LjL> pantung: to install an operating system such as ubuntu or ubuntustudio, you need to boot the whole system from its cd.
[19:13] <SoldierNIX> D-rew, yeah, how do I get ops on a channel? This server is being used on a lan for students. But I cant figure out how to get ops.
[19:14] <sweetde> hi all, does anyone know how to increase the volume of an audio file (either mpg wav or ogg) in CLI (so I can use it in a script)?
[19:14] <sassyn> pici 10x
[19:14] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, IRC services, like NickServ, etc are usually supplied with a separate daemon.
[19:14] <SoldierNIX> D-rew, so how do i setup and use NickServ?
[19:14] <LjL> !info normalize-audio | sweetde
[19:15] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, It's been awhile, let me do some looking.
[19:15] <pantung> LjL, lawl thought studio just was a music program :P
[19:15] <PovAddict> is KDE4 usable yet? I'm stuck on Kubuntu 8.04 just to stay in KDE3 :/
[19:15] <SoldierNIX> D-rew thanks, ill hit up google too
[19:15] <LjL> !ubuntustudio | pantung
[19:15] <grawity> PovAddict: 4.3 is very usable.
[19:16] <olmari> Hello
[19:16] <LjL> pantung: you can install all the ubuntustudio stuff on a normal ubuntu system without any iso being involved, "sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop"
[19:16] <AaDi> hi guys..i want install gnome-shell on my ubuntu 9.04...any help plz ?
[19:16] <genii> !hi | olmari
[19:16] <sweetde> LjL thanks, but I've tried it with soundconverter, and it did nothing.  I think it just makes sure all the file plays at about the same volume.  I'd like to increase that volume uniformily (sp?)
[19:16] <ChogyDan> AaDi: did you try the directions?
[19:16] <fccf> sweetde: another option would be the sox/rec/play with -v option for changing the volume of the file
[19:16] <olmari> A most newbied question I assume... I have a deb package downloaded, how I can install it so that I'm installing depencies too
[19:16] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IRC_services
[19:16] <AaDi> ChogyDan, what does mean that ?
[19:16] <D-rew> That should get you started.
[19:16] <LjL> sweetde: increasing the volume without regard to normalization will result in clipping audio. do you want that?
[19:17] <fccf> sweetde: see man sox and rec -h
[19:17] <sfuentes> anyone know how to upgrade a specific package?
[19:17] <sfuentes> with the command line?
[19:17] <alesan> hi I have a big image what is a good program to print it on multiple sheets (say 2x2 or 4x4)?
[19:17] <Flannel> sfuentes: sudo apt-get install package
[19:17] <ChogyDan> AaDi: the website for gnome-shell has directions.  I don't think there are formal ubuntu packages
[19:17] <fccf> sweetde: after installing sox
[19:17] <Guest50266> does anyone know how to get ath9x to work without dropping connections in 9.04?
[19:17] <AaDi> sudp apt-get update | sfuentes
[19:17] <sfuentes> Flannel: but I downloaded a newer .deb file
[19:17] <AaDi> sudp apt-get update package_name | sfuentes
[19:17] <AaDi> !sudo apt-get update package_name | sfuentes
[19:17] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic
[19:18] <jimcooncat> sfuentes: sudo dpkg -i filename
[19:18] <sfuentes> jimcooncat: thanks
[19:18] <AaDi> ChogyDan, Ok i gotta check that
[19:18] <olmari> dpkg -i package.deb shows loong list of depencies unmet, I'd like just to get those installed aswell, in CLI that is
[19:18] <jimcooncat> sfuentes: you will get errors for any unmet dependencies
[19:18] <Guest50266> ChogyDan: what is that?
[19:18] <SoldierNIX> D-rew, thanks for the link, is there a way to get ops on an irc server without nickserv or any such service?
[19:18] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: updated drivers
[19:18] <sweetde> LjL hmm, I didn't know it would clip if I increased the whole thing.  maybe I should rethink.  but that sox looks interesting, thanks so much for giving me something to test!
[19:18] <sweetde> fccf thanks!
[19:19] <Guest50266> ChogyDan: do i need backports in my sources.list??
[19:19] <Flannel> olmari: gdebi will install dependencies.
[19:19] <ChogyDan> Guest50266: I don't think so
[19:19] <LjL> sweetde, you cn only increase the volume of a digital audio file up to a maximum point, after which it clips. that's the purpose of normalization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)#Digital_clipping
[19:19] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, If you have the appropriate permissions in relation to the IRCd, you can use /mode +o <nick>
[19:20] <kyle__> whats the OS emulator called
[19:20] <D-rew> This will give that nick name the Operator mode.
[19:20] <MenZa> kyle__: er, a virtual machine?
[19:20] <fearful> kyle__, virtual box?
[19:20] <AaDi> guys..i want update my gnome to version 2.28
[19:21] <olmari> Flannel: I'm CLI only
[19:21] <ChogyDan> AaDi: that will be released with Karmic
[19:21] <Flannel> olmari: gdebi will work on the command line
[19:21] <kyle__> yes thank you
[19:21] <D-rew> ChogyDan, It seems like a big fuss to upgrade, but I guess I really want nvidia-190, so I can play Half-Life 2 in Wine and have it look SWEET!
[19:21] <AaDi> !Karmic
[19:21] <AaDi> !karmic
[19:21] <MenZa> D-rew: I had no issues ages ago.
[19:21] <D-rew> Wait, Karmic WILL break?
[19:21] <MenZa> D-rew: Shouldn't need nvidia-190 for that.
[19:21] <D-rew> As in, inevitably?
[19:22] <Ridders> hey does anyone know if there are linux drivers now for a xfx ati hd 5870 graphics card?
[19:22] <MenZa> D-rew: It will break in its current stage, yes.
[19:22] <D-rew> Oh.
[19:22] <sweetde> LjL if you're interested, my project is this: record satellite radio channels from sat/tivo, convert them (tivo)->(win)->.tivo->.mpg->(linux)->.wav->.ogg->(AndroidG1)->(my car).  I've done it all, but it just plays way too softly, even compared to my mp3's.  So since the mp3s play much more loudly, I think I have room to increase volume before it starts clipping
[19:22] <D-rew> Cancel that.
[19:22] <__8472> hi, just wan't to ask, how is it with flash support in google earth 5.1.* (beta) when using linux? i can't find any official information about it. i only found some info about supporting windows and mac. but what about us. does it work for somebody, or we've to wait up they make this flash support for linux?
[19:22] <D-rew> Meh, looks like I'll stick with nvidia-180 until release.
[19:23] <ChogyDan> D-rew: actually, I misled you.  It looks like karmic will only have 185
[19:23] <D-rew> Or, until they back-port 190, if that happens.
[19:23] <D-rew> I don't understand why the PPA didn't work...
[19:23] <D-rew> I might lurk the forums.
[19:23] <D-rew> After I restart X, so I can get compiz and awn back

[19:25] <AaDi> netsplit ?
[19:25] <younder> lib
[19:25] <sweetde> aaaaa I doubt it. I had to root my G1 to install "Wifi tether for root users" which is the only program that worked, but it works so beautifully
[19:25] <Cale> __8472: Google Earth works fine here. I'll try upgrading though if you'd like.
[19:25] <fccf> aaaaa: what you want is called tethering ... uses the wifi in the phone as an ad-hoc accesspoint .. using the 3G service
[19:26] <administrator__> hey guys. is there any major difference between 8.04 and 9.04.?
[19:26] <sweetde> aaaaa It doesnt even need to be connected, it makes a limitless Wifi hotspot for you
[19:26] <younder> I need a text login which doen't require root
[19:26] <aaaaa> yeah, i was reading on a site that you can do this without any rooting or anything
[19:26] <aaaaa> using the G2
[19:26] <aaaaa> the htc hero one
[19:26] <younder> Which we don't have
[19:26] <__8472> Cale: works fine? what do you mean? about that flash? and what version of GE do you use?
[19:26] <sweetde> aaaaa link, please :)
[19:27] <Cale> __8472: Flash works fine too.
[19:27] <aaaaa> i don't have internet access
[19:27] <aaaaa> but if you go into google and type "g2 tethering"
[19:27] <aaaaa> it should come upo
[19:27] <younder> BS
[19:27] <Cale> __8472: (but... that's entirely unrelated, isn't it?)
[19:27] <younder> You are taalking to us NOW
[19:27] <joshua__> my screen resolution sucks can anyone help me?
[19:28] <__8472> Cale: what is unrelated?
[19:28] <fccf> aaaaa: this is the app ... http://androidactivity.com/tetherWifi.html .. I have used it and it works on the G1 for sure
[19:28] <seidos> joshua__: what video card?
[19:28] <aaaaa> no, i'm not talking about an app
[19:29] <aaaaa> apparently you can do it on ubuntu without an app
[19:29] <Cale> __8472: Google Earth and Flash.
[19:29] <joshua__> some sis.... 661 I think
[19:29] <chai_> Hi all, I'm trying to compile an older gcc (<IP_ADDRESS>). when i do ./configure i get `x86_64-unknown-linux': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized. (i'm on ubuntu 9.04 amd64). how do i compile a 32 bit older gcc?
[19:29] <aaaaa> you literally just plug in the cable and set the option on the menu on the phone
[19:29] <aaaaa> and then it works
[19:29] <AaDi> how to load conky on bootstart ?
[19:29] <younder> aaaaa: shut up!
[19:29] <D-rew> ...I really broke my system, I think.
[19:29] <Cale> __8472: I have Google Earth 5.1 installed. It's working fine after a quick tweak.
[19:29] <seidos> joshua__: don't have experience with some SIS 661 in Linux.  hmmm
[19:29] <D-rew> So, nvidia doesn't work at all, now.
[19:29] <__8472> Cale: well, in this case of GE and flash i dunno how much and how they are binded.
[19:29] <AaDi> guys ...how to load conky on bootstart ?
[19:29] <joshua__> just a sec and i will get the exact card info
[19:29] <oddity> Does anyone know how to use a different verion of gcc temporarily?
[19:30] <__8472> Cale: what tweak you've made?
[19:30] <aaaaa> don't tell me to shut up
[19:30] <aaaaa> this works
[19:30] <younder> D-rew: welcome to the club
[19:30] <__8472> Cale: because for me that flash movies in 5.1.* doesn't work
[19:30] <D-rew> Still the module errors. I figured if I removed all nvidia packages and re-installed with the Hardware Drivers manager, it would work.
[19:30] <younder> aaaaa: shut up!
[19:30] <D-rew> But, Hardware Drivers displays nothing.
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> AaDi, system/preferences/start application - Add button
[19:30] <chai_> oddity: thats what i'm trying to do, compile an older one from source, check ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/ for older sources
[19:30] <AaDi> thanks ZykoticK9
[19:31] <fccf> aaaaa: please go ask your question in #android ... that is really offtopic here
[19:31] <seidos> joshua__: not sure what options there are for that adapter.  have you tried the forums?
[19:31] <ambros> d-rew: do you get command line?
[19:31] <joshua__> seidos, yes
[19:31] <joshua__> here is what the lspci output gives me for video
[19:31] <Cale> __8472: (It installs along with versions of libstdc++ and libgcc_s which are incompatible with Ubuntu somehow. I just renamed those files in the installation directory.)
[19:31] <joshua__>  Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[19:31] <D-rew> ambros, I have the gui, now in low-graphics mode.
[19:31] <chai_> oddity: then rename the compiled gcc to something like gcc-old and use that
[19:31] <ambros> oh oh ok
[19:31] <oddity> chai_: thanks!
[19:31] <seidos> !who | joshua__
[19:32] <joshua__> sorry seidos

[19:32] <mgv2> does anyone knows of good gui file wiper?
[19:32] <joshua__> seidos, yes
[19:32] <Cale> __8472: Where can I find a flash video in Google Earth? I was unaware that there were any.
[19:32] <D-rew> I don't have my Ubuntu Live-CD, and I don't want to reinstall, anyway...
[19:32] <emydvx> hi
[19:32] <D-rew> I think I'm toasted.
[19:32] <Cale> __8472: Oh, I see, there's a YouTube option now.
[19:32] <seidos> joshua__: do you have sis as the device in your xorg.conf?
[19:33] <SoldierNIX> D-rew i found this explaining how to add an operator to ircd.conf, but how do I login as op? part 6: http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/ircnet/INSTALL-4.html
[19:33] <__8472> Cale: how do you know that they work in 5.1 for you, without previously knowing that there are some? yes, Youtube option
[19:33] <joshua__> seidos, i believe i do, but how do i check for sure?
[19:33] <seidos> joshua__: you had to take a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:33] <seidos> joshua__: using your favorite your text editor
[19:33] <D-rew> SoldierNIX, I wish I could help you, but I'm in the middle of troubleshooting some of my own screw ups. :<
[19:34] <SoldierNIX> ok
[19:34] <chai_> D-rew, have you tried to delete xorg.conf and restart?
[19:34] <nici> hi ppl
[19:34] <hanshenrik> watching youtube HD movie in XP takes ~17-20% cpu (can pop to ~30 somtimes), whilst watching same movie in hd on ubuntu 9.04 uses ~50-60% cpu  - normal?
[19:34] <prefrontal_> i'm trying to get a cron job to run. i put a file in /etc/cron.d named test_cron with the following contents, and then restarted the cron daemon: 33 12 * * * root mail -s "hello cron"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:34] <prefrontal_> nothing happened.
[19:34] <__8472> Cale: so, does it work for you? or?
[19:35] <joshua__> seidos, no it does not
[19:35] <erk_> !list
[19:35] <chai_> prefrontal_, try "crontab -e" and editing the file there
[19:35] <prefrontal_> chai_, what's wrong with my approach?
[19:35] <seidos> joshua__: i don't want to recommend you put sis in the device section of your xorg.conf until i find out more.  i was reading this thread:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347451  you aren't alone.
[19:36] <chai_> prefrontal_, i think its because your file test_cron isn't being examined for cron jobs
[19:36] <XeroXenith> hey, i need help converting an mkv with multiple sub and audio tracks to a dvd?
[19:36] <prefrontal_> chai_, but it's in the cron's directory, and I restarted the cron daemon.
[19:36] <prefrontal_> chai_, something else that needs to happen?
[19:37] <fccf> SoldierNIX: section 4.6 shows how to edit ircd.conf to add priv to a particular user ... however you have to register your username with nickserv prior to making yourself an operator
[19:37] <joshua__> seidos, not alone but hopeless...
[19:37] <seidos> joshua__: if you're not alone why would you be hopeless?
[19:37] <joshua__> seidos, good question...
[19:37] <genii> XeroXenith: I'm pretty sure devede will do mkv
[19:38] <seidos> joshua__: it looks like others have gotten it to work, did you check that thread?
[19:38] <joshua__> I am reading through it right now
[19:38] <SoldierNIX> fccf, I am trying to login using an op listen in an O-line in ircd.conf
[19:38] <XeroXenith> genii: im trying it now, it seems to only let me choose one audio track and doesn't see the subs
[19:38] <Cale> __8472: It doesn't play the video in the balloon, but if I click the icon, it will play the video in my web-browser.
[19:38] <chai_> prefrontal_, i figured you have to specify cron to look for your cron files, i'm not sure though... checking now (also curious)
[19:38] <Cale> __8472: It's probably just that they don't have video support in linux yet.
[19:38] <JoeSomebody> hello, say you have 2 windows machines and 1 linux machine, the linux has a data drive which will be shared, what is my best file system choice for that data drive? i want all machines to be able to write to that drive
[19:38] <__8472> Cale: that's what i wanted to know.
[19:39] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Are you sharing it through samba?
[19:39] <__8472> Cale: just wanna be sure it wasn't me
[19:39] <joshua__> seidos, looks like the drivers are installed
[19:39] <fccf> SoldierNIX: where do you see the Listen function?
[19:39] <JoeSomebody> well whatever is easiest, i am new to linux/ubuntu
[19:40] <JoeSomebody> already have ubuntu 9.04 with ext4 on drive 1
[19:40] <SoldierNIX> fccf, what? I dont know the listen function
[19:40] <seidos> joshua__: Look For
[19:40] <XeroXenith> JoeSomebody, NTFS is the native for windows and works with all modern linux distros
[19:40] <seidos> joshua__: "xserver-xorg-video-sis" and "displayconfig-gtk" (this is "System->Administration->Screens and Graphics)
[19:41] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Anyway, if you're sharing it over the network, the filesystem doesn't matter.
[19:41] <JoeSomebody> well someone said i may get errors if i use ntfs
[19:41] <joshua__> seidos, yup it is there
[19:41] <joshua__> seidos, and installed
[19:41] <itsjareds> How do I list what's connected to serial ports similar to 'lsusb'?
[19:41] <seidos> joshua__: if the driver is installed, you should be able to fix your resolution in system > prefs > display
[19:41] <JoeSomebody> •grawity• is that because it is handled properly by each machines' os?
[19:41] <southern_> is there any way to figure out what packages i installed yesterday or is there anyway to go back and get rid of the changes i made? i installed something that made my touchpad stop working
[19:41] <XeroXenith> need help converting an mkv with multiple subs and audio tracks to DVD?
[19:42] <fccf> SoldierNIX: regardless, what you are trying to do requires that you have a nickserv which provides information to chanserv, an unregistered user CANNOT have OP privilidges
[19:42] <grawity> itsjareds: By looking at the physical ports.
[19:42] <joshua__> seidos, but i can't...
[19:42] <SoldierNIX> fccf, then what are o-lines for?
[19:42] <JoeSomebody> should i go fat32 to avoid ntfs errors?
[19:42] <JoeSomebody> on the share
[19:42] <itsjareds> grawity: I have four /dev/ttyS* , and I don't know which one I need to print from
[19:42] <itsjareds> None of them seem to be working
[19:43] <Pici> !netsplit
[19:43] <grawity> JoeSomebody: No.  They just see files and folders.
[19:43] <grawity> JoeSomebody: Second, NTFS is a lot more stable than FAT32.
